Sofia and Madeline season 1 Episode 25 "
Four's a Crowd"
A flying coach soared over castle Enchancia, while Clover was sniffing a cabbage.
"Mmm, hello, gorgeous." Clover smiled. "I saw you from across the cabbage patch, my fine leafy friend, and I have chosen you, yes, you, to be my lunch!"
Clover shook salt and pepper shakers over the lettuce.
"Let's eat!" He laughed.
The landing carriage startled Clover.
"What's that?" Clover gasped.
"Clover!" Sofia called, as she and Madeline raced over. "It's here, it's here!"
"What's here?" Clover asked.
"The coach for the Flylight pageant." Madeline smiled.
"The what?" Clover asked.
"Come on." Sofia picked up Clover as they walked over. "We'll show you."
"Looks like a plain old coach to me." Clover declared.
"It won't be plain after we and Amber decorate it." Madeline smiled.
"Why would you do that?" Clover asked.
"Because the coach has to be extra, extra special to be in the Flylight pageant." Sofia smiled.
"It's so beautiful, Clover." Madeline added. "On the first night of summer, flying coaches from every kingdom come together and soar across the twilight sky, like a... like a magical parade through the stars."
"Each coach is beautifully decorated, especially for the pageant." Sofia continued. "Ruby and Jade and us used to watch it every year in the village. We'd eat gooseberry pie and drink cherry cider, and watch all the princesses fly by in their coaches."
"Amber's coach was always the prettiest, of course." Madeline remembered. "And now that we're princesses, we get to be in the pageant with Amber!"
"But... I guess that means we won't be able to watch it with Ruby and Jade." Sofia realized.
"So why don't you ask them to ride with you?" Clover asked.
"You're right, Clover!" Madeline smiled. "We can invite them as our special guests!"
"They'd love it." Sofia declared. "Let's go tell them right now!"
"Thanks, Clover." Madeline beamed. "You are one smart bunny!"
"Don't I know it?" Clover said smugly. "But wait til you hear my ideas for decorating the float; How about making it look like one big veggie platter?"
"We'll think about it." Sofia giggled, as she and Madeline got into the coach.
"To the village, please." Madeline told the coachman.
"Ooh, or fruit salad!" Clover suggested as they took off. "You can never go wrong with food!"
"See you later, Clover!" Sofia waved.
"And speaking of food." Clover smiled. "Look out cabbage, here I come!"
Clover dived into the cabbage patch.
As they flew over Dunwitty, Sofia and Madeline spotted Ruby and Jade.
"Ruby!" Madeline called. "Jade!"
"Was that Madeline?" Ruby asked.
"Where is she?" Jade looked around
"There!" Ruby pointed to the coach.
The girls moved out of the way as the coach landed.
"Hi, guys." Sofia waved.
"Hi, girls." Ruby waved. "Is that a Flylight pageant coach?"
"It sure is." Madeline smiled as she and Sofia disembarked. "And we have something to ask you."
"Would you like to ride with us in the pageant?" Sofia asked.
"In the coach?" Jade gasped.
"Us?" Ruby squealed.
"In the pageant?" They said together.
"Yep." Madeline nodded.
"Of course we would!" Jade smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ruby cheered.
They hugged Sofia and Madeline.
"Wait, there's more." Sofia smiled.
"More?!" Jade squeaked.
"You get to help decorate the coach and pick the costumes too!" Madeline blurted out.
"Oh, my goodness!" Ruby gasped. "This is so exciting! Hand clap, hand clap!"
The girls started clapping their hands together.
"Like four birdies in a nest, four friends are the best!" They chanted. "Like four cherries on a vine, four friends always make it fine!"
"One!" Ruby called.
"Two!" Jade added.
"Three!" Sofia sang.
"Four!" Madeline called.
"Is what we're meant for!" They finished, laughing heartily as they got into the coach.
"I can't believe we get to be in the Flylight pageant!" Ruby cheered as they flew through the sky.
"It's so nice of you and Amber to let us ride with you all." Jade added.
"Oh, we haven't told Amber yet." Sofia admitted.
"But I'm sure she'll think it's a great idea." Madeline added
Back at the castle, Amber had just been told the news.
"That's a bad idea!" She declared. "Girls, the Flylight pageant is very important to me. Our coach has to look perfect. I know I can do a good job, and I'm pretty sure about you and Madeline, Sofia, but Ruby and Jade?"
"Hello down there!" Ruby called, she and Jade still in the coach.
"Good evening Enchancia!" Jade waved, pretending she was in the pageant.
"They don't know what they're doing." Amber groaned.
"But Ruby's really good at painting." Madeline declared.
"And Jade always has great ideas." Sofia added.
"Our coach will be the prettiest one in the pageant." Madeline smiled. "You'll see."
"Please?" Sofia asked.
"Please?" Madeline begged.
"Alright, fine." Amber sighed.
"Yay!" Sofia and Madeline cheered.
"I'll give them a chance, but they'd better not mess anything up." Amber declared.
"Amber said yes!" Sofia called. "Come on!"
Jade stumbled as she got out of the coach, while Ruby fell on her rear.
"Are you sure about this?" Amber asked.
"They'll be fine." Madeline giggled.
Over at the gazebo, the girls were having cookies and milk.
"These cookies are perfect for dunking!" Ruby smiled. As she dunked one, she accidentally dropped it. "Look, cookie milk!"
As Ruby drank her "cookie milk", Amber sighed.
"When everyone is done eating their cookies, or drinking them..." She declared. "We need to start deciding how we want to decoration our Flylight coach."
"Sooo... anyone have an idea?" Sofia asked.
"I know, I know!" Ruby raised her hand. "Let's cover the coach in cookies!"
"Yeah!" Jade smiled. "Then, if we get hungry during the pageant, we have a snack right there!"
"Okay, that's... on idea." Amber said awkwardly.
"I know!" Madeline declared. "Let's make the coach look like a big, fluffy cloud!"
Madeline held up a drawing to emphasise her point.
"That's a great idea!" Ruby gasped.
"So great princess Cleo already thought of it, and is turning her coach into a cloud as we speak." Amber stated.
"Oh..." Madeline sighed.
Just then, a bird landed on the milk pot. Jade was inspired.
"Ooh, how about this?" Jade drew a picture. "We decorate the coach like a beautiful tree!" She showed the others her picture. "And we can dress up like birds!"
The bird flew away.
"That's... a good idea." Amber smiled.
"And we can all wear different colored feathers!" Ruby added.
"Yes, I like it!" Amber nodded.
"And feathered tiaras to match!" Sofia suggested.
"That's perfect!" Amber stood up. "We'll be birds, and the coach will be our tree! Now first, we need to to draw up a plan, then we can decorate the coach. Follow me, ladies."
The four girls left the gazebo.
"See?" Madeline smiled. "We told you Jade had great ideas."
"Both your friends do." Amber admitted. "I have to say, I'm impressed."
"We're going to make the best team!" Sofia beamed.
Sofia/Madeline: Our friends and us are flying high And we've only just begun So come along everyone Let's have some royal fun
(Our friends and us are flying high) And who knows when we'll be done So come along everyone Let's have some royal fun
(Royal fun)
(Our friends and us are flying high) And who knows when we'll be done So come along everyone Let's have some royal fun
(Royal fun)
Before long, the coach was looking great.
"I'm so glad we're doing this together." Madeline smiled.
"So are we." Jade nodded.
"Had clap, hand clap!" Ruby cheered.
"Like four birdies in a nest, four friends are the best!" They chanted. "Like four cherries on a vine, four friends always make it fine!"
"One!" Ruby called.
"Two!" Jade added.
"Three!" Sofia sang.
"Four!" Madeline called.
"Is what we're meant for!" They finished.
"Yoo-hoo!" Amber called from the other side of the coach. "I need some help painting this side!"
"We'll help you!" Jade smiled.
"Coming!" Ruby rushed over.
As Sofia and Madeline worked on their side, they heard the sound of laughter.
"What's so funny?" Sofia called.
Sofia and Madeline walked over to find Amber, Ruby and Jade wearing pink wings.
"What are you doing?" Madeline asked.
"Ruby made us fairy wings!" Amber smiled.
"We're enchanted fairies in the garden!" Ruby twirled. "And we talk like ringing bells!"
"Ding-a-ling-ling-ling!" Jade sang.
All three giggled.
"Oh." Sofia said.
"We'll make fairy wings too!" Madeline declared.
They rushed back behind the carriage, emerging with their own wings.
"Ta-daa!" Sofia sang.
"Now we're fairies too!" Madeline declared.
"Oh, we're not fairies anymore." Ruby said, she, Amber and Jade wearing paper crowns. "We're queens, from a distant kingdom."
"Oh, okay." Sofia said awkwardly.
"We'll go make crowns." Madeline suggested.
"No, no." Amber shook her head. "it's glitter time!"
"Glitter!" Ruby and Jade cheered.
"I'll get it." Amber smiled.
As Amber walked away, Ruby and Jade clapped their hands together, while Sofia and Madeline dropped their wings.
"We're having so much fun girls!" Jade smiled.
"Amber is really great." Ruby added.
"We know." Sofia sighed. "But we thought the four of us could be-"
"here comes the glitter!" Amber wheeled in a large bowl of glitter.
Amber put her hands in the bowl and sprayed the glitter onto the coach.
"Whoa." Ruby and Jade gasped.
Amber, Ruby and Jade put glitter. on the coach together.
"Sofia, I thought we were supposed to work on it together." Madeline whispered.
"Yeah." Sofia nodded sadly.
"Now let's go see Madam Collette." Amber declared.
"The royal dress maker?" Ruby asked.
"Mm-hm." Amber nodded "She's going to make our costumes for the pageant."
Ruby squealed with delight.
As the girls went into the castle, Clover popped up.
"Yo, girls." He smiled. "I came to check out the coach. Looking good!"
Thanks." Madeline sighed.
"Something wrong?" Clover asked.
"No, I guess not." Sofia shrugged.
"We were worried that Amber wouldn't be nice to Ruby and Jade, but they're getting along really well'." Madeline declared.
"Uh-oh." Clover gulped.
"What?" Sofia asked.
"I've seen this before." Clover declared.
"Seen what?" Madeline asked.
Clover hopped over to the cabbage patch.
"I used to be best friend with this Bunny name Stu." Clover declared. "We would sneak into the royal cabbage patch everyday. Then I introduces Stu to my other bunny friend, Cheeks. I thought we would all be friends, but then one day I caught Stu and Cheeks sneaking into the royal cabbage patch without me!"
"Oh?" Sofia gasped.
"Yeah, turns out they'd became best friends, and I was totally left out." Clover finished his tale.
"That's terrible." Sofia declared.
"Yes, and I don't want that to happen to you two." Clover stated. "Ruby and Jade were your friends first. Make sure you two aren't left out, kay?"
"We will, Clover." Madeline nodded. "Thanks."
In the castle, Madame Collette wasn't taking Amber's request very well.
"You want me to make five bird costumes in one day?!" She grumbled. "Impossiblé!"
"What does that mean?" Jade asked.
"It means it cannot be done!" Madame Collette declared.
Sofia and Madeline then entered the room.
"Hi, Madame Collete." Sofia greeted her.
"Did you tell her about our costumes?" Madeline asked.
"Madame Collette said she can't make them." Ruby told her.
"There is not enough time." Madame Collette declared.
"I'll handle this." Amber smirked. "Madame Collette, I know we're asking a lot, but you are a spectacular dressmaker."
"Oh, you flatter me." Madame Collette tittered. "Go on."
"Everything you make is simply magnificent!" Amber gushed.
"Oh, this is true." Madame Collette nodded. "But one day is not enough time to make five magnifiqué costumes!"
"Which is why we will help you." Amber smiled. "Meet you five new dressmaking helpers!"
"Hmmm." Madame Collette mused. "Helpers, you say?"
"Yes." Amber nodded. "And when everyone in the kingdom sees your fabulous costumes, you'll be even more famous then you already are!"
"Well, alrighty then!" Madame Collette clapped her hands, and servants walked in, carrying rolls of fabric. "We don't have much time. Each of you, pick out the fabric for your costume!"
"We've got costumes." Amber said smugly.
"Thanks, Amber." Jade smiled.
"Good thinking!" Ruby added.
"Ruby, Jade!" Sofia stepped forward. "We know what you should pick! Orange for Ruby..."
"And blue for Jade!" Madeline added. "Because they're your favorite colors!"
"We know that because we've been best friends forever." Sofia smiled.
"Those are nice." Amber admitted. "But look at Ruby in this red! Oh, and this green will really make Jade's eyes sparkle!"
"So, ze red and ze green?" Madame Collette asked.
"Yes!" Ruby nodded.
"Definitely!" Jade smiled.
"But you love orange!" Madeline told Ruby.
"And you love blue, Jade!" Sofia said. "You've always loved blue!"
"So, ze orange and ze blue?" Madame Collette asked.
"No, I want the green." Jade declared. "It's my new favorite color."
"And mine is red!" Ruby beamed.
"And I'll have yellow-gold, Madame." Amber added. "What about you, girls?"
"Purple, I guess." Sofia sighed.
"Maroon for me." Madeline declared.
"Excelente!" Madame Collette smiled. "Now, grab those scissors, those needles, and ze threads. Time to create ze costumes! Let's go!"
Arm in arm, Amber, Ruby and Jade followed Madame Collette. Sofia and Madeline sighed, then followed. Eventually, the time came for Ruby and Jade to go home.
"Bye!" Ruby smiled. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep at all tonight! I'll be up every hour hour, thinking 'Is it time to go to the castle yet? Is it, is it, is it?'"
Sofia, Madeline and Amber waved them waved.
"Oh, that was surprisingly fun." Amber admitted.
"Uh-uh." Sofia nodded. "Aren't our friends great?"
"Yes, they are." Amber smiled. "But I suppose they're my friends now, too." She yawned. "I don't know about you, but I'm going right to bed after dinner, and sleeping in late. We need to be well-rested for the pageant. Aren't you coming inside?"
"Uh... in a minute." Madeline shrugged. "We have to find Clover."
"You and your rabbit..." Amber sighed.
Sofia and Madeline went to the cabbage patch.
"Clover?" Sofia called. "You here?"
Clover popped up.
"Oh hey, princesses!" He said through a mouthful of cabbage. "Hey, how's it going with Ruby and Jade?"
"Not good." Madeline declared. "They just changed their favorite colors because of Amber!"
"And Amber said they were her friends, too." Sofia added.
"Say no more, girls." Clover declared. "This is just like what happened with Stu and Cheeks. Next thing you know, they'll be doing things without you! Like sneaking into the royal cabbage patch. Let this cabbage be a warning, don't lose your friends!"
"We don't want to!" Madeline stated. "What should we do?"
"What did you do with Stu?" Sofia asked.
"Ha." Clover smiled. "I'll tell ya what I did, I'll tell ya what I did: Nothing. And it didn't work. So whatever you do, don't do that."
"We just need some alone time with them." Madeline declared. "Without Amber."
"Ah, why don't you ask them over for dinner?" Clover suggested.
"It's too late." Sofia sighed. "But we could ask them over for breakfast! Amber said she was sleeping late tomorrow, so it'll just be the four of us!"
"Good idea, Sofia!" Madeline smiled.
"There ya go!" Clover nodded.
"We have to find mom!" Sofia hugged Clover. "Thanks, Clover!"
"Any time, girls." Clover smiled.
In the castle, Miranda was cleaning up a mess when Violet the maid came in.
"Queen Miranda, you don't have to tidy up." Violet protested. "I'll take care of it."
"This is a two person mess if I ever saw one." Miranda declared. "Let's do it together."
"As you wish, ma'am." Violet agreed.
"Mom?" Madeline called as she and Sofia came in.
"Sofia, Madeline, I'm so glad you're here." Miranda smiled. "You can help us clean up."
"Okay, mom." Sofia nodded, setting a table upright. "Can Ruby and Jade come extra early tomorrow for breakfast?"
"Why extra early tomorrow?" Miranda asked.
"Well, we've been spending so much time decorating the coach with Amber, we though it would be nice to do something with just Ruby and Jade." Madeline explained.
"Why not include Amber too?" Miranda asked.
"We'll see her after?" Sofia smiled.
"Girls?" Miranda asked.
"If Amber is there, Ruby and Jade would only want to play with her!" Madeline declared.
"Ruby and Jade aren't going to stop being your friends just because they're Friends with Amber now too." Miranda assured them.
"They might." Sofia insisted.
"Girls, there's an old expression: the more the merrier." Miranda declared. "It means the more friends your have the merrier everyone will be, including you."
"Okay, but can we still have Ruby and Jade over for breakfast tomorrow?" Madeline asked. "Please, mom?"
"Yes, girls." Miranda sighed.
"Great!" Sofia smiled.
"Thanks, mom." Madeline smiled.
The next morning, Sofia and Madeline met Ruby and Jade as they arrived.
"Hi, guys!" Sofia waved.
"We're so glad you could come early." Madeline added.
"Us, too." Jade smiled.
Once they were inside, Ruby had something to ask.
"Where's Amber?" Ruby inquired.
"Um, she's still sleeping." Sofia told them. "Come on."
"What time do you think Amber will be up?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, not for a while." Madeline declared. "She likes to sleep in late."
"We can spend the whole morning together, just the four of us." Sofia smiled. "Won't that be great?"
"Hand clap, hand clap!" Madeline offered.
Just then, Amber appeared.
"Ruby, Jade!" She smiled. "Wonderful, you're already here!"
"Amber?" Sofia gasped. "You're never up this early."
"Oh Sofia, I was to a excited to sleep." Amber admitted. "I couldn't stop thinking about our costumes. In fact, I'm going to see how Madame Collette is doing."
"We'll come with you." Jade offered.
"Wait for us!" Ruby smiled.
"So much for that idea." Sofia sighed.
"I know." Madeline groaned.
The girls headed over to Madame Collete's room.
"I have finished ze five costumes!" Madame Collette declared.
"I can't believe we get to wear these in the Flylight pageant!" Jade beamed.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Madame Collette asked. "Try zem on!"
The girls went to the changing rooms to put on their outfits. Sofia and Madeline were distracted by Ruby and Jade's giggling.
"Look at us!" Jade smiled.
"We're like big, colorful bird girls!" Ruby exclaimed.
"I truly am a genius." Madame Collette boasted.
"You really are." Amber agreed. "Thank you, Madame Collette."
"Au revoir, girls." Madame Collette curtsied. "Have fun at ze pageant."
"I knew those colors would look fabulous on you!" Amber told Ruby and Jade.
"Hey, let's teach Amber the hand clap." Ruby suggested, Sofia and Madeline hearing in their changing rooms.
Sofia and Madeline rushed outside as they clapped with Amber.
The girls started clapping their hands together.
"Like three birdies in a nest, three friends are the best!" They chanted. "Like three cherries on a vine, three friends always make it fine!"
"One!" Ruby called.
"Two!" Jade added.
"Three!" Amber sang.
"Is how we're meant to be!" They finished.
"You got it, Amber!" Ruby smiled.
"You taught Amber our hand clap?" Sofia asked sadly.
"Why not?" Ruby shrugged. "We're all friends now."
"Oh, that was fun!" Amber beamed. "Now, who wants to go feather our tiaras?"
"Me!" Ruby held up her hand. "Me, me, me, me, me!"
"Don't forget me!" Jade added.
"Oh Jade, who could ever forget you?" Amber smiled.
The three girls giggled as they walked.
Sofia and Madeline rushed into their bedroom, Clover was.
"Clover!" Madeline called.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"Ruby and Jade taught Amber our hand clap!" Sofia revealed.
"WHAT?!" Clover gasped. "How dare they?! Wh... Oh! ...What's the hand clap?"
"It's our special thing!" Madeline yelled. "Only Ruby, Jade, and the two of us know it, and now they're doing it with Amber."
"Ohh, it's just like Stu and Cheeks sneaking into the royal cabbage patch!" Clover declared. "I'm sorry, girls. Hey, if it makes ya feel better, I'll watch the pageant with you, but only if you whip me up some of that gooseberry pie first!"
"That's what we should do!" Sofia gasped.
"Wow, that was easy." Clover declared.
"No, we'll make gooseberry pie and cherry cider for Ruby and Jade!" Madeline caught on. "That'll remind them of all the fun times we used to have together, and they'll want to be our friends again!"
"Yep." Clover smiled. "It's like I always say: There's no problem a little bit of food won't solve. Alright, let's go get your friends back, princesses."
"That's exactly what we plan to do." Sofia smiled.
Outside, Amber, Ruby and Jade were finishing decorating the coach.
"No, that's all wrong." Amber said suddenly. Dipping her brush in some paint, she repainted the center of a flower. "Perfect!"
"What happened to Sofia and Madeline?" Jade asked. "They've been gone for hours."
"I don't know." Ruby replied.
"Well they'd better get here soon." Amber declared. "It's almost time to go."
Over in the kitchen, Sofia and Madeline were putting the gooseberry pies onto a trolley.
"It's getting late." Madeline noted. "We'd better go."
"Okay." Clover leapt on the trolley, which Sofia and Madeline started pushing. "Whoa! Girls, slow down!"
"There's no time!" Sofia stated as they dashed past a servant. Coming through!"
As they made it outside, the girls fell down the steps... but the trolley kept going. It smashed through a rose b***, and headed toward the coach.
"Oh, no!" Madeline gasped. "Look out!"
"Oh no, no, no, no, no, no!" Clover yelped.
The trolley hit the coach, covering it with pie and leaves. Clover landed on the ground, a pie splattering on him.
"The coach!" Amber gasped.
Sofia and Madeline rushed over.
"Oh no." Sofia sighed.
"Um, that was not... part of the plan..." Clover said woozily, before fainting.
"Our coach!" Jade cried.
"It's a total mess!" Ruby groaned.
"We can't go to the pageant with the coach looking like this!" Amber rounded on Sofia and Madeline. "I told you two how important this was to me. What were you thinking?!"
"We just... you know, wanted to bring Ruby and Jade some gooseberry pie and cherry cider." Madeline declared.
"Pie? Cider?" Amber seethed. "Why?"
"Because... because..." Sofia mumbled.
"Because why?" Amber demanded.
"Because we wanted to remind Ruby and Jade about the fun times we used to have together." Madeline finished.
"Why?" Jade asked.
"Well you both were having so much fun with Amber..." Sofia started.
"We thought you didn't want to be friends with us anymore." Madeline finished
"The four of us are always going to be friends." Ruby smiled.
"We were just excited that we made a new friend." Jade added.
"And who won't be, when that new friend is me?" Amber boasted.
"So you weren't trying to leave us out?" Sofia asked.
"No." Ruby shook her head. "Why would we ever do that to you?"
"Oh no." Madeline groaned. "We were worried all day for no reason."
"We should have just been happy you made a new friend. but instead we ruined the coach we worked so hard to make." Sofia sighed. "We're sorry."
"it's okay, girls." Amber declared. "I understand"
"You do?" Madeline asked.
"When your first moved into the castle, I had to share everything with you." Amber recalled. "My friends, my family, every my tiaras. It wasn't easy, and I did things that may not have been so nice."
"We remember." Sofia nodded.
"So I know how you feel, and I forgive you." Amber smiled.
"Really?" Madeline asked.
"Yes." Amber nodded. "So I'll miss the Flylight pageant - for the first time ever. It's no big deal. We can still watch it together."
"It'll be just as fun." Ruby smiled.
"Like we used to do." Jade added.
"We can even have some of that cider and... weird pie." Amber suggested. "If there's any of it not covered in twigs and flowers."
"You know what?" Sofia whispered. "I think we can fix the coach!"
"How?" Amber asked. "There's no time to redecorate it."
"I know." Sofia nodded. "But look at all the flowers and leaves stuck to the paint."
"I get it." Madeline nodded. "Maybe we can make the coach look like a real tree."
"We'd be like birds in a tree." Ruby noted.
"For real!" Jade cheered. "Let's do it!"
"But the pageant starts in half an hour." Amber pointed out.
"We can do it if we all work together." Sofia declared. "The five of us. What do you say?"
The girls all linked hands. They went to work quickly.
"We need a few more flowers." Jade informed the others.
"And some twigs, too." Madeline added.
When those were added, the coach was complete.
"There." Sofia hopped out. "How does it look?"
"Even better then before!" Amber hugged Sofia and Madeline, then adjusted her tiara.
"Oh no!" Madeline gasped. "We forgot to feather our tiaras!"
"We know." Amber smiled.
"You never came back to Madame Collette's." Ruby noted.
"So we feathered a couple for you." Jade revealed two feathered tiaras from behind her back.
"Thanks." Sofia smiled, as she and Madeline put them on.
"Alright, little birdies." Amber opened the coach door. "Time to take flight."
"Clover, do you want to come?" Madeline asked.
"Nah, I got to go find Stu and Cheeks." Clover declared. "Maybe I was wrong about them too."
"Okay." Madeline stroked Clover's head.
Once everyone was in the coach, it took off. Twilight came.
"There's the pageant!" Sofia pointed.
"We made it!" Amber beamed.
The coach moved into formation alongside all the others, and flew over the village.
"Hey Ruby, I can see your house from here!" Madeline declared.
"Hi, mom!" Ruby waved. Her mother, who was in the crowd, waved back. "They're cheering for our coach!"
"They like it!" Amber realized. "They really like it!"
"This is so amazing!" Ruby squeed.
"Thank you for inviting us!" Jade smiled.
"It's like they say: The more, the merrier." Sofia smiled.
"Hand clap, hand clap!" Jade cheered.
The girls started clapping their hands together.
"Like five birdies in a nest, five friends are the best!" They chanted. "Like five cherries on a vine, five friends always make it fine!"
"One!" Ruby called.
"Two!" Jade added.
"Three!" Sofia sang.
"Four!" Madeline chimed.
"Five!" Amber finished.
"Now we have one more!" Madeline declared.
The girls giggled as their coach flew onwards into the night sky.
