Elena and Gabby held Zoomer and Greenie up for Ricky, who giggled, clapping his hands.

They only hoped that he wouldn't need a diaper change while the grown-ups discussed the festival of friendship that would start happening within an hour.

Not that they hadn't enjoyed helping him with his nightmare the night before, but Elena just couldn't help but feel sick whenever she thought of having to change her baby brother again.

"You okay?" Gabby asked, seeing Elena lost in thought.

"No more changing diapers," Elena shuddered.

"Nell told us all about that," Amber smiled. "She was really proud of both of you for helping Ricky like that. And she said she'd give Kitty and Pinky back early. She said she put them on Elena's bed when you went to go wash your hands."

"Kitty and Pinky help with Andrew story!" Elena cheered.

"All of you are going to help James write a new Andrew Harmon story?" Amber repeated. "I can't wait to read it!"

"Thank you!" Gabby giggled, jumping up and down.

"No Ricky, you no help," Elena added, having Ricky coo in confusion.

"Why can't he?" Amber asked playfully. "Did he make you mad?"

"He went pee-pee on me!" Elena pouted.

"He did that with me too, and I survived," Bobby Lee smiled as he heard her. "We're proud of you and Gabby for helping Ricky the way you did. And besides, Ricky might have his own ideas for how this new story goes."

Hearing his name again, Ricky squealed and waved Zoomer around.

"Why don't you let him help?" Queen Elena suggested, having Elena turn around. "Ricky can't be that bad."

"I don't know," Elena muttered, seeing Ricky roll towards her.

"I'm sure he didn't mean to do that, Love Bug," Bobby Lee smiled. "Can't you forgive him?"

Nell picked Ricky up and held him in front of her face, doing the 'Ms. Napkin Head' routine she and Bobby Lee used to do. "I'm sorry, Elena! I love you and I won't do it again!"

Elena giggled as Nell put Ricky down. "Okay. I love you, Ricky! You good baby!"

"See? Sometimes you have to hug and make up," Queen Elena grinned.

"Party yet?" Gabby asked, jumping up and down again.

"Well, someone's excited about the Festival of Friendship," Queen Elena grinned, taking her and Elena by the hands and dancing around with them.

"We all are," Sofia smiled. "It's going to be really fun learning about the different kingdoms and seeing what they're like."

"And Sabrina and Madeline are planning a dance to surprise your friend Naomi," Nell grinned.

"Are they now?" Queen Elena asked with a smirk. "Well I won't spoil the surprise."

"She'll love it," Nell smiled. "We'll even ask James and Francisco to accompany them!"

"Abuelo does love playing his guitar," Queen Elena grinned.

"And James does love singing and playing the piano," Amber smiled.

"But has James ever seen music like that?" Queen Elena asked.

"Don't worry about that," Amber smiled, "James has our birth mother's ear for music, and he can play anything after hearing it once!"

"He certainly was a hit at the tea party," Nell grinned.

Ricky clapped his hands at the mention of a party as Elena picked him up before sitting him down with her and Gabby's kitties.

"We gotta be pay-sent for the party," Elena explained with a smile.

"Being patient's always a good idea," Nell smiled. "It won't be too much longer."

A few minutes later, Queen Elena led them into the ballroom. "Welcome to our Festival of Friendship," she smiled as she pointed out the visitors. "May I present Prince Soji of Satu, Prince Alonso of Cordoba, and Ambassador Nathaniel of Norberg. Prince Soji, Prince Alonso, Ambassador Nathaniel, may I present the royal family of Enchancia, and their friends."

"It's very nice to meet all of you," Roland smiled as they all shook hands.

Elena and Gabby hid behind Bobby Lee, who locked eyes with Prince Alonso as he kissed Nell's hand.

"He's just being polite," Florence assured her son, noticing his look of jealousy.

"That's flirting, not being polite," Bobby Lee grumbled, stroking Ricky's hair in order to calm himself.

"It's very nice to meet you," Prince Alonso smiled at Bobby Lee, and extended a hand toward him.

Bobby Lee shook it, and he managed to smile, even if it was a little stiff.

"And it's nice to meet your daughters," Prince Alonso smiled at Elena and Gabby. "I hear you named your oldest girl after Queen Elena. She taught me a lot when she first visited Cordoba, and I managed to shape up because of her."

"Well good for you," Bobby Lee mumbled under his breath.

"It nice to meet you too, Mr. Alonso," Elena smiled, giving him a small curtsy.

"But Daddy doesn't look happy," Gabby added, shaking Prince Alonso's hand.

"It's all right, Gabby; he's just being protective," Florence assured her, "You know how your mommy sometimes gets around strangers, and your daddy's just watching out for her."

Bobby Lee's eyes grew sad. He recalled how Jimmy had tried to flirt with Nell before he kidnapped her, and he didn't want that to happen again, and that was why he was being so suspicious of Prince Alonso.

Florence caught his eye and squeezed his hand, murmuring, "It's all right, Robert, but he was just trying to be friendly. And isn't that what tonight is all about: friendship and being friends?"

"You're right, Mother," Bobby Lee agreed. He turned to Prince Alonso. "I'm sorry, your Highness."

"Queen Elena has told us about what happened, so it's alright if you were suspicious of me," Prince Alonso grinned, kissing Nell's hand again. "And I know Helen is your wife. She's attractive, yes, but I know better than to harm someone who's been through so much."

Nell smiled. "Thank you, your Highness, for understanding. And don't mind Robert; he's always been protective of me and my sisters since we were rescued."

"I heard that he's a guard at Enchancia Castle," Prince Alonso smiled. "He certainly does a good job of protecting people."

"He really does," Florence grinned, musing her son's hair.

"I'm sure you haven't meet our son Ricky," Nell smiled, taking Ricky in her arms. "He's gonna grow up to be just like his daddy."

"He's a cute little guy," Prince Alonso smiled. "He'll take after his daddy, that's for sure."

Nathaniel and Prince Soji also came over to congratulate Nell and Bobby Lee about Ricky. They had seen them at Queen Elena's coronation, but they hadn't had time to talk to them very much.

"Why you playing 'pass the baby', Mommy?" Elena asked, getting a little confused.

"Can't your brother make friends with everyone Love Bug?" Nell asked, musing her hair.

"No! Mine!" Elena yelled. "My Ricky! Mine!"

"Elena, would you like to go to timeout again after you just got Kitty and Pinky back?" Nell murmured. "If we have to take them away one more time, you won't get them back until we go home."

"I be good!" Elena blurted out, hiding behind James. "James make Andrew story with Kitty and Pinky! Everybody makes friends with Ricky!"

"Andrew story?" Prince Alonso asked.

"Andrew Harmon is a spy character I made up," James explained, then he told Prince Alonso about some of his adventures, and how he was planning to make an Andrew Harmon story where he went to Avalor.

"That sounds like fun," Prince Alonso smiled.

"It is fun," Gabby smiled, but was still a little shy.

"And I'm sorry about Elena. She normally loves to share," Nell muttered, taking Elena by the hand.

"But not her brother?" Nathaniel asked, mussing Elena's hair.

"Giant!" Elena gasped, hiding behind Nell.

"There's no giant here; just some giant decorations that won't hurt you," Sofia smiled.

"Okay. I share Ricky with everyone too!" Elena promised. "I be good girl!"

"That's all I'm asking, but what I say stands," Nell murmured.

"Yes Mommy," Elena sighed.

"Hey! It's not time to be upset Love Bug!" Bobby Lee chuckled, tossing her up in the air. He caught her as he added softly, "We trust you to be a good girl, sweetheart, but you do want to make a good impression on these visitors."

"What's that?" Elena asked.

"You want to show them that you can be nice to them, and to everyone. They might come visit you, and this is how you can practice being a good girl," Bobby Lee explained.

"Okay Daddy," Elena smiled.

"You're a captain?" Gabby asked, looking up at Ambassador Nathaniel in surprise. "Where's your pirate stuff?"

"Not that kind of captain, Gabby," Madeline smirked.

"Norberg is a kingdom with a rich history of naval traditions," Ambassador Nathaniel explained. "Several people have jobs on the water, such as fishing, piloting boats, or traveling to overseas kingdoms to do business with them."

That got Gabby's interest as unlike her twin, she was ready for an adventure no matter how small.

"I see you're a little adventurous, aren't you?" Ambassador Nathaniel asked, mussing her hair.

"She and Naomi would get along," Queen Elena smiled, taking Gabby by the hand.

"We learned about your kingdoms in school, and we really liked learning about Norberg," Sabrina smiled at Ambassador Nathaniel. "Our teacher even taught us a dance from there."

"Really?" Ambassador Nathaniel smiled. "Would it be all right if you showed me?"

"I think Naomi would like to see it too," Queen Elena smiled, motioning her over.

At the same time, James had found the song Madeline had told him about, and Francisco got out his guitar. "Ready, Mister Francisco?" James asked as he sat down at the piano.

"I'm always ready to play music, Prince James!" Francisco smiled as they started playing.

Naomi grinned when she saw Madeline and Sabrina dancing. "I love that dance!"

"Surprise!" Madeline and Sabrina smiled as they pulled her into the dance too.

"Mommy and Daddy dance too!" Elena giggled, jumping up and down.

"We haven't learned this dance," Bobby Lee mused, patting her head.

"But it doesn't mean we can't dance with you," Nell smiled as Ricky cooed happily. "I can dance with my little man."

"How can Ricky dance?" Gabby asked in confusion. "He can't walk!"

"That's okay, Gab-Gab," Bobby Lee smiled, "He can dance like this!" He scooped Gabby up and spun her around.

"Me next please!" Elena smiled.

"Okay, since you asked so nicely," Bobby Lee smiled, switching partners.

"And you're so polite," Nell smiled, taking Ricky up. "Come on, Ricky! Let's show them how it's done!" She spun him around, making Ricky squeal happily.

"Isn't that adorable?" Sofia asked.

"I've never heard Ricky be that happy," Amber admitted, hearing Ricky giggle.

"That's because he's with his favorite person," Miranda smiled, taking Sofia by the hand. "Sofia would you like to dance?"

Sofia nodded and joined in the dance too. She smiled at the song James and Francisco were playing. She should have remembered that James could play anything he heard by ear and he knew music.

At the same time, Mateo was mixing his potions. He knew which goblet Esteban always drank from, and poured a few drops of his laughter-inducing potion into it.

Queen Elena grinned and nodded when she saw what he was doing. "Good move, Mateo! I'll take it over to him," she whispered.

"And at least it is temporary, and it won't hurt him," Mateo whispered back as Queen Elena took the goblet to Esteban.

Ricky squealed, seeing the goblet in Queen Elena's hand before Nell gave him a bottle, seeing that he hadn't gotten anything to drink before the party.

"I help you Mommy," Elena offered, holding Ricky's bottle still. "I wanna be good girl."

"You are a good girl, Elena, and I appreciate you wanting to help me," Nell smiled.

Meanwhile, Queen Elena brought Esteban his goblet. "I thought you might be getting thirsty with all your talks, cousin," she smiled, holding it out to him.

"Thank you, Elena, I certainly needed this," Esteban smiled as he took it.

"Mr. Mateo did it!" Madeline gasped, putting a hand to her lips. "He actually did it!"

She had never heard Estéban laugh before as did none of the children except Isabel, watching as Gabby looked around in confusion.

"Even the serious of men need a laugh every once in a while," Bobby Lee smirked, enjoying what was going on.

"I wonder what's so funny?" Roland mused, looking over at Esteban, who was laughing as he tried to talk to Prince Soji.

"Cousin, what have you been drinking?" Queen Elena smirked.

Estéban couldn't answer, unable to control his laughter as Ricky had spit out his bottle, giggling with the older man.

"Babies and laughter are contiguous," Mateo ginned.

"Ricky sick?" Elena frowned.

"No, sweetheart, but sometimes when one person starts laughing, others join in," Queen Elena smiled. "Ricky's just fine."

Elena smiled as she kissed Ricky's forehead. "You good baby, Ricky!"

Ricky giggled again, clapping his hands as Estéban continued to laugh, much to the shock of everyone.

Except Queen Elena and Mateo who were holding back smirks.

"Esteban, what's gotten into you?" Francisco asked.

"I don't know, but this seems like a brilliant mystery for Andrew Harmon and his friends to solve!" James whispered, grinning himself.

"Can we help solve it?" Naomi asked, "I love mysteries myself!"

"Kitty helps too!" Elena cheered.

"Of course Kitty helps too," James smiled, "I'm putting all our kitty friends in the story, remember?"

"Yeah!" Elena giggled, jumping up and down excitedly. "Ricky helps too!"

"Oh no! He's a little young Love Bug," Nell smirked, kissing her cheek.

"But friends help too right?" Gabby wondered. "Don't they?"

"Of course they do! Like I said, we'll give Mr. Edward an honorable mention in the story," James smiled, mussing Ricky's hair.

"Didn't Ms. Luisa say she gave you a list of everyone's names?" Sofia asked.

"Yes, and now we've got our cast of characters," James grinned.
