Chapter 6: A Day at Merroway Cove
The next few days for the newlyweds were best they had in a while. On this particular day, James and Sofia were laying in the bed before breakfast discussing their plan for the day. "So… we have breakfast at 9, sunbath at 10, reading at 11, lun… before Sofia interrupted James. "James, it the same schedule as the past three days. Can we please do something else; we are at Merroway Cove after all." "well, what would you like to do then, Sof,"asked James. Excited Sofia said, "Why don't we go see our friends." "But Sof, they are probably busy beside I can't swim that far underwater," James said. (James doesn't know that Sofia can change into a mermaid, yet.)
Then there was a knock on the door. "Enter!" yelled James and Sofia. "Morning Prin I mean your majesties," said Baileywick. "Oh Baileywick!" they said. "My apology your majesties; I'm trying I promise," said Baileywick. "It's okay," said Sofia. Defensive Baileywick said, "No it's not; I mustn't make this kind of mistake. "You're just used to calling us, Prince James and Princess Sofia," said Sofia. "Besides, we know you didn't mean any harm," said James. Even though James and Sofia could have appointed a new Castle Steward of Enchanica. They decided to keep Baileywick because he is family. He always will be. "Well today on the schedule" started Baileywick. "Umm…interrupted James," Sofia wants to do something else instead." "That's fine," said Baileywick, "Just remember breakfast is at 9, lunch is at 12, tea is at 2, and dinner is at 6." "We will," said James.
After breakfast, James and Sofia went out to the deck. And jumped into the water; immediately Sofia changed into a mermaid. Which surprised James because he didn't know she could do that. Sofia forgot that she could easily change forms at Merroway Cove. "Sof?" said James. "Uh…Yes James" Sofia said nervously." "What just happen?" asked James. "Well…, she started nervously, "I'm a mermaid." "What…wait…How?" James asked confused. "My amulet," said Sofia. "But…How is this possible."James asked stilled confused. "Well…I guess it time I tell you more about my amulet then it's magical." Sofia a slightly nervous of how James would react. "That would be appreciated," James replied kindly. "Okay," said Sofia relived.
They decided to walk on the beach while Sofia told James about her amulet. "I guess…I'll start from the beginning," said Sofia. "Please do," James said. "It was the day after dad had given me the amulet. After I was thrown from magic swing; I ran across the bridge near the forest by Royal Prep. And there was a bird who had fallen from its nest. So I put it back in the nest. As I left because the bell had ringed, I heard thank you. It wasn't until Clover and my other animal friends came in my room; the next morning, that I realize I could communicate with animals. From Cedric, I learn that my amulet is the Amulet of Avalor: For each deed performed a power is granted a blessing or curse. My first visit to Merroway Cove, I rescued Una from our net. The amulet gave me the ability to transform into a mermaid. That's how I met the mermaids. I can shrink. When I was younger, the fairytale princess would come to help me when I was in trouble. I'm the bookkeeper of the secret library. Also, my amulet has cursed me." Sofia said out of breath. "What do you mean?" James asked concerned. Sofia replied, " Do you remember when I kept croaking like a frog?" "Yes, You had been chosen to sing the Enchanican anthem," said James. "Well…I was bragging to Ruby and Jade about all the attention and things I was getting. So, my amulet cursed me. Since I let Jade and Ruby sing; I broke the curse." Sofia said. "Oh, Sof," James said sadly, "I wish I had known." "No need to worry, James. I'm all right, now," said Sofia. " So was that why you were always talking to Clover may he rest in peace," James said. "Yes" replied Sofia. "What else can you do as a mermaid?" asked James. Sofia replied arrogantly, "Anything a mermaid can." "Which princesses have you met?" James asked. "I believe all of them," Sofia answered. "Brillant!"James exclaimed.
Author note:
Hey, fanfic readers. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. A little change in plan instead of Frozen crossover chapter. I'm going to do a chapter titled Couple's Drama. Oh! That sound interesting I know. This chapter will be posted on Labor Day. I'm challenging myself to write a chapter in a week. Fingers crossed it happens. P.S. to the person who asked about being James and Sofia's child, that chapter is in the works I promise.
