Sofia looked through the gates waving goodbye, her buttercup friends leaving while her families' royal carriage has just arrived from their home kingdom. Sofia stood with her mother as they both watch her father exit the carriage along with the royal castle Stewart

Dad! Sofia yelled while running to give him a giant hug, her father smiled and hugged her back, he asked what her costume was about and then Sofia began explaining about her buttercup uniform, and how her team would be hiking around the Pepper tree tomorrow though Her father doesn't seem to agree about her news to him

Now hold on a minute, I don't think the forest is a proper place for a princess he commented, luckily her mother came to her rescue

Oh she'll be fine, you know Sofia was a buttercup before she was a princess

And I only need one more badge to get my sunflower pin, please dad Sofia pleaded to her father

But what if something happens to you? Her father asked Ruby's mother will be there,

Sofia will be perfectly safe Miranda spoke

But she could fall Roland added

Then she would have to pick herself up Miranda argued nicely

Before they could say anything baileywick inserted himself to thee conversation, explaining he was a groundhawk scout before and how Sofia will learn so much when she will go on the hike.

Then her father had an outstanding idea he suggested that baileywick could accompany her on her hike to make sure she is safe and doesn't have a single scratch

But dad

I'm not a kid anymore! Sofia stated annoyingly

Technically you are Sofia her father replied, I'm only doing this for you, for your safety, I couldn't bear the thought of something bad happening to you

I know dad, I know how you feel, but I've been doing all these activities since I was a at least 4 with my friends, also this is a part of my life where I have to start defending and standing for myself alone, I can't just rely on others to take care of me forever Sofia argued

Roland looked at his wife but she just nodded her head

Sofia is right, she can't rely on other people to help her forever, just because she is a princess doesn't mean she can't do simple things

I know, I'm just worried about her safety Miranda

I can handle it dad I promise, Sofia added while smiling, and when I return I promise that I won't have a single scratch trust me dad

He looked at his daughter, he couldn't resist her cuteness and he knew her wife knew there daughter more than him so in the end he agreed

Thank you dad! Sofia yelled and hugged her tightly

You're very welcome Sofia, just make sure to come home safe and sound

I will I promise she replied
