Princess Jade
Class at Royal Prep was underway.
"Class, I have an announcement." Flora declared. "Today is School Swap Day, the day where one study from the village school and a student from Royal Prep swap places."
"Why would we do that?" Hildegard asked.
"So the village students can learn more about you royals, and you royals can learn more about them." Flora answered.
"Wait, are you telling us one of our friends from our old school is coming here?" Sofia gasped.
"For the whole day?" Madeline added.
"Yes, I am!" Jade entered the room, wearing her new glasses.
"Jade? A-mazing!" Sofia cheered.
"Sofia! Madeline!" Jade beamed, as her friends hugged her. "Can you believe I'm here?"
"We're back together again!" Madeline grinned. "Just like old times!"
"Since you all know each other, perhaps you would both care to be Jade's guides for the day?" Flora asked.
"Of course!" Sofia nodded.
"Definitely!" Madeline added.
The three girls went into their hand-clap routine.
"Like three birdies in a tree, three friends are the best to be." They sang. "One plus one plus one makes it thrice as much fun!"
"Oh, my." Flora smiled. "Well, enjoy your classes this morning, Jade. Then we'll all go to Dunwiddy for lunch, and later, you can give a presentation on all you've learned when the Dunwiddy students come here for a royal ball."
"Brilliant!" James cheered.
"Class is dismissed." Flora announced.
As the students filed out, Jade turn to Sofia and Madeline.
"Girls, if I'm going to give a presentation, I'd better see everything at Royal Prep." She declared.
"Then let's hurry." Sofia urged. "There's so much to show you."
The girls started showing Jade around.
"And that's our Enchanted Art room." Madeline pointed.
"And this is the Hall of Royals." Sofia indicated a corridor full of paintings.
"Check this out, girls!" Jade started walking down the corridor. "I am Queen Jade. I, Queen Jade the Just, do hereby declare every day to be Dazzleball day."
"Hear, hear!" Sofia clapped.
"Surrender, dragon!" Jade waved an imaginary sword. "Or Prince Jade the Brave will put out your flame with yon dirty dishwater!"
"We miss going to school with you, Jade." Madeline sighed.
"It's true." Sofia nodded. "It's too bad you can't come to Royal Prep with us every day."
"Wouldn't that be great?" Jade sighed. "Me, Princess Jade, the..."
Jade stood by a portrait depicting a girl she looked a lot like.
"Unbelievable!" Madeline gasped.
"'Jade the Unbelievable'?" Jade frowned. "That doesn't sound quite right..."
"No, Jade, look!" Sofia turned him to look at the portrait. "You look just like the princess in that old painting!"
"You could be sisters." Madeline declared.
"Who is she?" Jade asked.
Sofia read the plaque at the bottom.
"It says 'Frederica Assemblia'." She declared.
"I think I have a great-great-aunt Frederica." Jade mused.
"I'll bet you are related to this princess!" Madeline smiled. "Do you know what this means?"
"Ruby is gonna want my autograph?" Jade offered.
"If you're related to a princess, you could be a princess!" Sofia revealed.
"No way!" Jade gasped.
"And if you are a princess, then you can come with us to Royal Prep!" Madeline beamed. "Every day!"
"I'm a princess!" Jade cheered.
"School Swap is the best day ever!" Sofia squealed, as the three girls danced with joy together. "I can't wait to tell everyone!"
"Me neither!" Madeline agreed.
"Ooh, wait!" Jade stopped them. "I have an idea: Let's save it for lunch. That way, we can tell everybody at the same time. Even our Dunwitty friends!"
"Great idea." Sofia nodded.
"So... ready to spend our first official day together at Royal Prep?" Madeline asked.
"Yes, I am!" Jade grinned. "But is Royal prep ready for us?"
The bell for class rang.
"By the way, which royal do you think went to the Dunwitty school today?" Jade asked.
"I don't know." Sofia shrugged.
"Me neither." Madeline added. "But I'll bet they're having just as much fun as we are."
Over in the Dunwitty schoolhouse, class was just starting.
"It's School Swap Day, class." The teacher declared. "So please give a warm Dunwitty School welcome to our royal guest, Princess Amber."
Amber entered the room.
"Welcome, princess Amber!" The class chorused.
"Yes, yes, I know." Amber grinned as the class applauded. "I'm the biggest thing to hit Dunwitty village since, well... the last time I visited Dunwitty village! Where should I sit?"
"Right here, Amber!" Ruby pointed to the empty seat next to her. "I will be your guide. So if you need help, just ask."
"Oh, thanks, Ruby." Amber smiled. "But I'm a star student at Royal Prep, and I doubt I'll need any help." She took her seat. "So, what kind of class do we have first? Posture, or tea pouring?"
"We'll start today with science." The teacher announced. "Everyone, take out your rock collections."
"Rock... collections?" Amber frowned, as the other students took boxes out of their desks.
"Don't you have rocks at Royal Prep?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, yes." Amber nodded. "I have rubies, and diamonds, and sapphires..."
"Uh, these are a little different." Ruby emptied her box on Amber's desk, showing lots of regular rocks.
"We're going to learn how to make metal objects float in mid-air." The teacher announced.
"Oh, I know this." Amber declared. "We did it at Royal Prep. Watch, she'll use a magic wand!"
The teacher held a rock under a spoon, causing the spoon to rise up, to the class's amazement.
"She didn't use a wand!" Amber gasped.
"We don't do magic here." Ruby explained. "This is science class."
"Rocks that act like magnets are called 'lodestones'." The teacher revealed. "Now, let's see how fast you can find your lodestones. How about you, Amber?"
"Okay, Miss Candoo." Amber said, unsure. She picked up a rock and held it over a spoon, to no effect.
"Done!" Ruby declared. "Hey Amber, have you found your lodestone yet?"
"Oh, I'll just watch." Amber declared. "Clearly, my rocks are broken."
Amber looked around the classroom, seeing that the others had all found their lodestones.
"Well, I'm sure the Dunwitty student who is visiting Royal Prep is having just as much trouble there..." She whispered.
Back at Royal Prep, it was time for magic class. Sofia and Madeline turned apples into emeralds, with Jade successfully replicating the spell.
Then they rode flying horses together, flying up to the bell tower. Madeline rang the bell as they passed, and Jade followed suit.
Then they took part in Enchanted Art class. Jade painted herself in a princess gown. Sofia used her Enchanted Paintbrush to bring the dress out of the painting and onto Jade.
"You know what, Jade?" Sofia smiled. "Today's the best day I've had ever at RPA."
"I second that." Madeline grinned.
"Mine too!" Jade beamed. "Of course, it's my only day so far..."
"ready to go to Dunwitty for lunch?" Sofia asked.
"I know I am." Madeline declared. "I can't wait to tell everyone the news!"
"Race you!" Jade giggled.
Jade ran out of the class, Sofia and Madeline close behind.
Shortly after, the Royal Prep students (and Miss Flora) were at the Dunwitty School, alongside the village students.
"Welcome to all our dear friends from Royal Prep." Miss Candoo declared.
"And thank you, dear friends at Dunwitty, for hosting lunch." Flora added. "Now, let's eat!"
Flora waved her wand, and food appeared at every table.
"And drink!" Miss Candoo added.
Meg poured lemons into a squeezing machine, and Peg poured the lemonade into cups.
"Hi, Sofia. Hi, Madeline." Ruby greeted her friends. "Hey, nice gown, Jade. How's School Swap Day?
"Greater than great." Jade smiled. "I learned how to turn a lime into an emerald!
"And we raced in the Flying Derby." Sofia declared.
"And we made Jade's gown with a magic paintbrush!" Madeline added.
"Wow!" Ruby gasped.
"What did you learn about Dunwitty school, Amber?" Sofia asked.
"Rocks." Amber said flatly.
"Amber, that's not true." Ruby frowned. "You watched us learn about rocks. You watched us learn about history. And you watched us learn about glass blowing. She's not trying anything at all! I'm starting to think you're afraid."
"Afraid? Oh, please!" Amber scoffed. "When I see something I think I'll actually enjoy, I'll try it. For example, I think I'll now try some of that lemonade. Excuse me."
"But Amber, wait!" Ruby called as Amber walked away. "You have to give a presentation on what you learned later on." She turned to the others. "I don't think Amber is enjoying School Swap Day very much."
"She'll be okay." Sofia declared.
"Now, Jade, tell Ruby what else you learned today." Madeline urged.
"One of you tell her." Jade replied. "I still can't believe it!"
"What? Tell me what?" Ruby asked.
"We're almost positive Jade is related to royalty!" Sofia revealed.
"That means she can be a student at Royal Prep full time!" Madeline grinned.
"No way!" Ruby gasped. "That's amazing!"
"Isn't it?!" Jade squealed. "We're gonna make an announcement after everyone's done eating!"
"So now I have three best friends who are princesses?" Ruby asked. "Triple amazing!"
"Oh, there's Miss Candoo!" Sofia pointed out. "Madeline and I haven't seen her in ages."
"Let's go say 'hello'!" Madeline urged.
As Sofia and Madeline moved away, Ruby got closer to Jade.
"Jade, Royal Prep!" She grinned. "You're gonna have so much fun!"
"I know!" Jade nodded.
"So, then... you probably don't wanna eat with us, huh?" Ruby frowned. "Now when you can sit with your new classmates."
"Oh, uh..." Jade mumbled. "I don't know. I didn't really think about that..."
"It's okay, Jade." Ruby assured her. "We'll sure miss seeing you every day at school, but everyone's gonna be really excited for you. Me included."
"Thanks." Jade smiled. "I-"
"See ya later... princess Jade!" Ruby curtsied, before walking away.
Jade looked at her classmates.
"But... I'm gonna miss seeing all of them every day too." She sighed. "Oh, no. Maybe leaving here to go to Royal Prep is a big mistake."
Spotlights suddenly fell on Meg and Peg.
"Alright, everyone, let's welcome out guests..." Meg began.
"The Dunwitty way!" Peg finished.
Meg: Go Dunwitty
Meg and Peg: Go Dunwitty
Meg, Peg, Ruby: Hail the green and brown
All the Dunwitty School students: Everyone cheer for the school right here
In old Dunwitty Town
Go Dunwitty
Oh Dunwitty
No matter how far we roam
We'll have friends to the end
From old Dunwitty
Our school, our home
Hey
"Great song, Dunwitty." James smiled. "Here's how we say hello at RPA!"
The RPA students got up and started singing.
RPA students:Huzzah! huzzah!
For Royal Prep, for the red, and green, and blue
We're all for one, and one for all
At RPA, you'll hear our royal call
Huzzah! Huzzah!
For Royal Prep Yes, we're loyal through and through
We rule on the field
And off it too
That's for Royal Prep to a T we're true
Dunwitty students: Dunwitty!
RPA students: Huzzah!
Yes, at Royal Prep to a T we're true.
Dunwitty students: Dunwitty!
RPA students: Huzzah!
Jade lowered her head, unsure.
Jade: Oh Dunwitty
No Dunwitty
How I'd miss this school
To leave behind these friends of mine
For a gown and jewels
Old Dunwitty
Dear Dunwitty
I sure don't want to part
But I know if I stay
That would break
Sofia and Madeline's hearts
Jade walked over to Ruby.
"Ruby, I need your help!" She announced.
"What's wrong?" Ruby asked.
"I don't think I want to go to Royal Prep." Jade admitted.
"Are you kidding?" Ruby frowned. "You'll learn magic, and wear jewels, and spend all your time with the royals, and-"
"Yeah, but I'd rather spend time with all my friends here." Jade declared. "I mean, the way we all go down to the stream to skip stones during recess... what's better than that?"
"Okay, so don't go to Royal Prep if you don't want to." Ruby shrugged. "Just tell Sofia and Madeline."
"But they're really excited about me going to the school." Jade pointed out. "I'm afraid I'll hurt their feelings."
"But they're your friends, Jade." Ruby pointed out. "They'll understand."
"But what if they don't?" Jade fretted.
"Jade!" Sofia called, as she and Madeline returned, Sofia carrying a cup of lemonade. "We just had the best idea!"
"Girls, Jade has something to tell you both." Ruby announced.
"What is it?" Madeline asked. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no!" Jade shook her head. "I mean... sort of!"
"You know you can tell us anything, right?" Sofia smiled.
"And now that we're going to school together, we'll have even more heart-to-heart talks!" Madeline grinned. "So, what's the matter?"
"Well, I..." Jade cringed. "Um... I'm really thirsty! Can I have your lemonade?"
"Oh, uh... sure." Sofia gave her the cup.
Jade quickly drank the contents. Ruby shook her head, disappointed.
"Is that it?" Madeline asked.
"Ahh!" Jade wiped her mouth.
"I bet you're nervous about all this." Sofia declared. "We were when we got transferred to RPA."
"But that's why the idea we just had is so perfect!" Madeline added. "I know we decided to announce the news at lunch, but now we've decided we should wait."
"Yes!" Jade sighed with relief.
"And tell everyone at tonight's Royal Ball!" Sofia smiled.
"What?!" Jade yelped.
"It was at our first ball that we really started feeling like princesses." Madeline recalled. "So we thought it would be the same for you!"
"Oh, that's... really not necessary..." Jade said awkwardly.
"Of course it is." Sofia grinned. "We'd do anything to make you feel at home at RPA!"
"What are best friends for?" Madeline asked.
"What can I say?" Jade cringed.
"You can say 'yes'!" Sofia beamed.
"...Yes?" Jade gulped.
"YES!" Sofia and Madeline cheered.
"It's really happening!" Madeline danced with joy.
"Alright, everyone, back to class!" Flora instructed.
As the Royal Prep students departed, Jade shared a worried look with Ruby.
Shortly after, Miss Candoo's class was back in session.
"I hope you enjoyed lunch with everyone from RPA." Miss Candoo smiled. "Now, are you ready for our afternoon class?"
"Dancing?" Amber asked hopefully. "Royal waving? Anything I'm good at?"
"Architecture!" Miss Candoo anounced.
"Oh..." Amber groaned.
"Yesterday, you all designed a climb-nasium." Miss Candoo pointed out drawings behind her. "Today, you're going to build it. Think you can handle this challenge."
"Can do, Miss Candoo!" The class chorused.
"Oh, that is really loud!" Amber covered her ears.
All the class (minus Amber) rushed over to a box, each collecting and donning a tool belt. Ruby noticed Amber was still sitting at her desk.
"Hey, Amber!" She walked over. "Wanna help me build my climb-nasium?"
"Oh, I'll just watch." Amber declined.
"Nope!" Ruby refused. "This time, you have to join us! It's our last class of the day."
"Oh, you know... I would, but... I'm not wearing my building dress!" Amber declared.
"Wear a smock." Ruby handed her such an outfit.
Amber rolled up the smock and placed it on a desk.
"Oh, darn!" She yelped. "I don't have my... tool belt thingy!"
"Use mine." Ruby handed her a wrench.
"Ruby, the truth is... I never learned to build stuff at Royal Prep." Amber confessed.
"So?" Ruby asked.
"So... I can curtsy twenty-eight different ways, but I don't know anything about rocks, or blowing glass..." She held up the wrench. "And I can't tell one end of this hammer from the other!"
"It's a wrench." Ruby corrected her.
"See what I mean?" Amber groaned. "This place just isn't for me!"
"Look, I know it's different from what you're used to at your school." Ruby admitted. "But what we do at Dunwitty is pretty great, too. Why not just give it a try?"
The two walked into another room, where their classmates were already building.
"But... what if I'm no good at it?" Amber frowned. "What if I make a mistake, and everyone laughs at me?"
"Or... what if you're great at it?" Ruby retorted. "What if, maybe, you even enjoy it? Come on, Amber. Try it. ANd if anyone laughs at you, they'll have to answer to me!"
"Oh... okay." Amber smiled. "Head me that screwdriver!"
"Wrench." Ruby passed it to her.
"Wrench. Right." Amber nodded. "I knew that..."
Amber and Ruby went to work, building Ruby's climb-nasium. Amber did quite well, twisting the bolts into place and helping to tie their part of the structure to Meg and Peg's. Soon, they were finished. Amber planted a flag with a "D" on top.
"Great work, Amber!" Ruby smiled. "We're done!"
As Amber climbed down, she accidentally tore her dress.
"Oh no, your dress!" Ruby gasped.
"We keep an extra dress here for emergencies." Meg declared.
"Just like this." Peg added.
"Well, there's more to life than fashion." Amber declared. "...I cannot believe I just said that! Anyway, I'll be right back!"
Shortly after the students of Dunwitty arrived at Royal Prep.
"I welcome you all to the School Swap Day Royal Ball!" Flora announced.
"We'll have dancing, and song, and also a short presentation from each of our two School Swapees." Miss Candoo added.
"But before we begin, please take a moment to talk to someone you don't know." Flora urged.
"Because the thing about royals..." Miss Candoo started.
"And villagers is..." Flora added.
"Together, you make up a kingdom!" They said together.
"Hello." Hildegard declared, as she and Clio approached a girl with her back to them. "We're coming over to talk to you because we don't know you."
"Hildegard, it's me!" The girl turned around, revealing herself to be Amber in the emergency dress.
"Amber?!" Hildegard gasped. "What did they do to you at that school?"
"They taught me this." Amber used a lodestone to lift a spoon.
"How are you doing that without a wand?" Hildegard asked.
"I can do a lot more than that." Amber smiled. "But you'll have to wait for my presentation to see more."
Meanwhile, Sofia and Madeline were backstage with Jade.
"So, Madeline will ask if we can make an announcement before the presentation..." Sofia declared.
"And then, Sofia will introduce you..." Madeline continued.
"We'll open the curtain, and you pull off the sheet." Sofia pulled away the sheet hiding Frederica Assemblia's portrait. "Everyone will see you look just like the portrait, and they'll realize you're royalty!"
"Uh-huh..." Jade muttered.
"You seem distracted." Madeline frowned. "Are you still nervous?"
"Uh, no, no." Jade shook her head. "There's a stream back there." She looked through the open door. "It reminds me of the stream by the Dunwitty school where we used to skip stones, remember?"
"We have stones at this stream, too." Sofia declared. "And tomorrow, we'll show you where the magic ones are. They just skip and skip forever."
"Oh, great..." Jade sighed.
"Jade, are you sure you're okay?" Madeline asked. "Is there anything you want to tell us?"
"Actually, girls, this isn't easy for me, but..." She noticed a green puch in Sofia's hands. "What's that?"
"Just something we thought you'd like." Sofia held up a tiara.
"My own tiara?" Jade gasped.
"Just like the ones Sofia and I wore to our first ball." Madeline smiled.
"It's beautiful." Jade admitted.
"It's yours." Sofia moved a box over to Jade. "So you'll always know Madeline and I are right here, beside you." She stood on the box, and placed the tiara on Jade's head. "I crown you princess Jade."
"So, what were you about to tell us?" Madeline asked.
"I... nothing." Jade sighed.
"Don't worry, Jade." Sofia smiled. "You're going out there a village girl, but you're coming back a princess."
Sofia and Madeline walked onstage.
"Miss Flora, may Sofia and I make an announcement?" Madeline called.
"Well, I guess it's alright." Flora nodded.
"Excuse me, everyone!" Sofia declared. "While Jade was here, we made an amazing discovery."
"We found a new princess." Madeline added. "And soon, she'll be starting at Royal Prep!"
"A new princess?" Hildegard frowned. "Why wasn't I notified?"
"Without further ado, may we present..." Sofia announced, as the curtains opened. "Princess-huh?"
The backstage was empty, Jade nowhere in site.
"Where is she?" Madeline frowned.
"I know there couldn't be a princess I've never heard of." Hildegard said smugly.
"Um... you'll meet her in a minute." Sofia said awkwardly.
"Right after Amber shows you what she learned at the Dunwitty school today." Madeline added.
"My turn?" Amber gasped. "Can do!"
Sofia and Madeline rushed offstage as Amber pushed a cart onstage.
"So, the first thing I learned is how to make a wrench float without a magic wand!" She announced, using a loadstone to lift the wrench.
The royals gasped with wonder.
"Impressive!" James declared.
"You haven't seen anything yet!" Amber grinned.
Meanwhile, Sofia and Madeline rushed outside.
"Jade!" Sofia called.
"Where could she be?" Madeline asked. "...Wait, I know! This way!"
Madeline led Sofia over to the stream. Jade was standing on the bridge. She threw a stone into the water, and it skipped off into the distance.
"Jade?" Sofia called.
"Oh." Jade sighed. "Hey, Sofia. Hey, Madeline. You were right. These stones do skip forever." She threw another magic stone.
"Why did you leave?" Madeline asked.
"I... can't tell you!" Jade groaned. "Your feelings will get hurt!"
"Jade, they won't." Sofia assured her.
"Okay..." Jade took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but I don't wanna go to Royal Prep!"
"What?!" Madeline frowned.
"See?" Jade sighed. "I hurt your feelings."
"We just... don't understand." Sofia declared. "Why not?"
"I had a great time with you today, girls." Jade admitted. "But... If I came here, I would miss all my friends at the Dunwitty school."
"Oh." Madeline mused. "Didn't think of that..."
"Me neither." Sofia nodded.
"I knew I shouldn't have told you." Jade groaned.
"Jade, wait a minute." Madeline urged. "Okay, we are... disappointed..."
"But only because we realized today how much we missed going to school with you." Sofia smiled.
"But we want you to be happy." Madeline declared. "And we're glad you told us."
"You do?" Jade smiled. "Phew! Because it was hard!"
"We're sorry if we made it hard for you to tell us." Sofia apologized.
"You know, it wasn't easy when you both went away to Royal Prep." Jade admitted. "But I got used to it. I just don't think I could get used to being apart from all my other friends now."
"We understand." Madeline nodded. "You don't have to go to Royal prep if you don't want to."
"I don't?" Jade beamed.
"No. We'll just keep that portrait a secret." Sofia declared.
"Oh no, the portrait! They all heard you announce the new princess!" Jade reminded them. "Any minute, someone will pull off that sheet, and see the portrait looks just like me!"
"Not if we get there first!" Madeline smiled.
The three of them ran back to Royal Prep, where Amber was still making her presentation.
"So here's what else I learned." Amber declared. "The bigger the stone, the more magnetic it is. Watch." She picked up a bowl. "A metal bowl..." She picked up a bowl and held it under the large lodestone built into the climb-nasium, making it float. "A metal serving try..." The tray did the same under another lodestone. "And finally... a suit of armor!" Amber dragged the suit out.
Amber suddenly found her being pulled up by one of the lodestones.
"It's the metal in my tool belt." She said sheepishly. "I'll just reach down and unfasten..." She started spinning around. "Whoa! No need to worry! This kind of thing happens when you try something new!"
"Hey, Sofia and Madeline are back!" James pointed out, as the girls walked onstage.
"So where is this new princess?" Hildegard asked.
"Sorry everyone, but there is no new princess." Sofia declared.
"Yeah, we made a mistake..." Jade lied.
"If I can just steady myself by..." Amber grabbed the sheet, revealing the portrait.
"Oh no!" Madeline gasped.
"Jade looks just like that royal portrait!" Clio realized.
"They must be related!" James declared.
"So Jade is a-!" Hildegard gasped.
"Princess!" Clio grinned. "Jade is the new princess!"
"I feel faint..." Hildegard leaned against Clio.
"Me too." Amber said, still spinning. "Can someone help me down?"
Sofia climbed onto the climb-nasium. She moved the lodestone, allow Amber to stop spinning. Amber then removed her tool belt, and dropped to the floor.
"I'm okay... mostly." Amber groaned, as the crowd applauded.
"So Jade is coming to Royal Prep now?" James asked. "Boom goes the cannon!"
"No, Jade won't be coming here." Sofia said firmly.
"Tell them, Jade." Madeline urged. "Tell them the truth."
Jade sighed deeply, then stepped forward.
"Uh, the truth is..." She started, as Miss Candoo walked onstage. "I wanna go to Dunwitty, because that's where my friends are. Most of them..." She smiled at Sofia and Madeline. "Is that okay?" She asked Miss Candoo.
"I'm sorry, Jade." Miss Candoo frowned. "I'm afraid there's nothing to be done."
"Yes." Flora agreed. "There is nothing to be done. Because you're not a princess."
"She's not?" Sofia gaped.
"The lady in that portrait is not royal." Flora revealed. "She's Frederica Assemblia, the original architect of Royal prep. She designed this whole school, many years ago. That's why we keep her painting in the Hall of Royals, to honor her."
"You know, Jade, she learned to be an architect at the Dunwitty school." Miss Candoo declared.
"So... I'm just regular old Jade from Dunwitty again?" Jade asked.
"Yes, dear." Flora chuckled. "You are indeed."
"WOO-HOO!" Jade cheered. "Sorry. I'm just really happy not to be royal!"
"Wait, what?" Hildegard frowned.
"And we're really happy to have you back at Dunwitty." Ruby smiled.
"Ooh, still a little dizzy..." Amber leaned against a pillar.
"You'll be okay, Amber." Hildegard declared, as she and Clio helped her. "We just need to get you back into a royal gown."
"It was fun to try something new." Amber smiled. "But it's good to be home."
"Well, Jade, there's one thing we know." Sofia declared.
"Wherever you go to school, you will always be our friend." Madeline grinned.
"And you'll always be my friends." Jade smiled.
The girls hugged, then went into their hand clap routine.
"Like three birdies in a tree, three friends are the best to be." They sang. "One plus one plus one makes it thrice as much fun!"
