Enjoy!
The summer came and went finally getting the perfect story down and the family all on bored; the trees were starting to change colors as fall was hitting the land. The first day of school was officially hear, Sofia was up bright and early as been her normal routine, as she prepared for school and making sure she had everything needed she pulled it over her shoulders as Baileywick came to the door to make sure she was up.
"Oh good morning Princess, aren't you just a bright ball of sunshine today. Excited to start your new school year?"
Rushing past Baileywick she beamed him a happy smile,
"I am super excited; I can't wait to see all my friends again! I need to make sure Loki is up and ready, I'll see you at breakfast."
Hearing Baileywick chuckle a bit as she got farther away from the steward, rounding the corner she sprinted to Cedric's tower. Pushing her way into the door, it flung open. Cedric was just getting his robe on to leave when she came in. Watching him jump she giggled,
"Young lady, has anyone ever taught you any manners! It is very rude to barge into an older man's room without knocking."
Once she was able to control the giggle fit she was having she calmed down wiping a tear from her eye.
"But Loki this isn't an older man's room, this is your room!"
Cedric groans, realizing why she was here.
"I am having second thoughts on this whole endeavor Princess."
"Oh it's not going to be that bad at school Loki. You already have 3 friends and you haven't even entered the building yet!"
Pinching the bridge of his nose he huffed.
"At least I can go in my robes."
"About that, even though you look fabulous in your purple robe you look to much well like you."
Hearing him groan again,
"Is this day over yet?"
"Nope just starting!"
"I was being sarcastic child."
"How many times do I have to tell you that you need to watch that."
Sofia grabbed a spare wand, she pointed it at Cedric.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Before letting him finish she casted a spell on his clothing. The purple faded into a maroon red.
"Much better! Now take off the robe so I can change the colors of your clothes."
He started undoing his robe,
"You are very un-princess like, I hope you know that."
She giggled,
"I was a villager girl before I was ever a princess."
He rolled his eyes at her setting his robe down, Sofia shot the same spell at him. His green button up started to darken until it was black, his vest changed to the same marron red as his robe and his yellow tie changed to a grey. Deciding that his pants would be fine as they were, after she was done she examined him.
"This will have to work, if we don't get done stairs then we will be late."
Cedric quickly examined himself in his mirror frowning a bit, he really liked is yellow tie. Starting to put his robe back on Sofia grabbed his hand pulling him out in a hurry.
"Not time, you can put it on in the carriage!"
Trying to keep a hold of his robe while it wanted to slide off the one arm he had it on he gave Sofia a noise of disapproval.
"Hmph, child slow down, at this rate we are going to…"
Just as he was warning her that they were going to trip, Cedric's foot caught on his robe. Thankfully they were at the bottom so when Cedric fell forward into Sofia he was able to wrap his arms around her and turn just enough so he would cushioning her fall. His head wakes against the floor, his arms tighten around Sofia at the pain after a moment he loosens his grip but keeps them around her unconsciously.
"Are you okay Princess? I did try to warn you that one of us was going to trip at that rate."
He looked up at her, her face was bright red and she looked stunned. He took it that something might be wrong with her, placing a hand against her forehead.
"Is everything alright Sofia?"
She shook her head bringing herself back from the daze; she got up off of him and helped him up.
"Yes, thank you. I am fine, it just startled me. Thank you for cushioning my fall, are you okay?"
Getting up he stretches out before rubbing the back of his hand.
"Not bleeding so I will live."
He gave her a half smile, she still looked worried. Groaning he knew this was going to be a long day. Putting out his hand for her to take it,
"If it will make you more at ease then you can take my hand."
He looked away a little embarrassed that he just offered to basically hold hands with her. Catching her happy smile out of the corner of his eyes she took his hand as they started walking towards the front of the castle. The walk was silent now and at a much slower pace he even managed to get the rest of his robe on to eliminate the tripping hazard. He could feel his face start to heat up feeling Sofia hand grip his a bit more. Looking over at her just a bit he saw her staring at the ground in front of her.
"Is something the matter?"
She looked up to meet his eyes and put on her best smile,
"Everything's fine I just got lost in thought."
Feeling like she was hiding something he let it slide, getting closer to the front he tried to let go of her hand but she walked faster as to act like she was dragging him giving her the excuse for the reasoning why she was holding his hand still. He groaned in protest, he never remembered a day he groaned this much but apparently today was going to be one of those days. Sofia entered the carriage first pulling Cedric in to sit next to her, James and Amber were already in and ready to go.
"About time you got here, I was about to leave without you. I like to make an entrance on my first day but not a late one. There would be no one to watch!"
"Sorry Amber, I had to make Loki look like Loki."
"Yes I can see that, but what are you going to do about his hair? That does not say Loki, it says Cedric or Callista."
Sofia and Cedric looked at each other for a moment; she pulled out her wand and his hands sprung up to cover his bangs.
"You young lady have changed my entire outfit. You will leave the hair!"
She grinned deviously,
"If you don't move ill make it permanent and hot pink."
He groaned loudly moving his hands, deeply regretting teaching her magic. Sofia shot a spell at his bangs making them black like the rest of his hair. He turned to look at his reflection in the window of the carriage.
"I guess it could be worse."
James pitched in,
"Yes she could have made it hot pink."
The young prince laughed getting much entertainment from this, Amber had raised an eyebrow examining Cedric and his new look.
"I have to say Sofia; he doesn't look half bad now. A bit on the skinny side for my liking but not bad,"
The girls giggled together, everyone seemed to be enjoying this besides Cedric. He hopes this wouldn't take long to be able to undo the potion or maybe he would get lucky and it would ware off over time. He could only hope,
Arriving at school, Amber and James exited first heading into the school. Sofia got out and ushered Cedric to fallow. Fallowing Sofia, she led him to the schools office. Getting there new class schedules, M. Flora was running the Office this morning and she looked over at Cedric with a knowing look.
"Hear are your schedule's, I hope you enjoy your time here at Royal Prep."
Leaving the office they looked down and read what classes they would have, they had identical classes. Cedric didn't know if that was a good or bad thang. Sofia seemed a bit too thrilled that we had all our classes together. Walking into their first class Sofia made sure that she would be able to sit next to Cedric just in case he needed any help. Either the teacher likes her that much or they made sure that she would be sitting next to him. It started seeming to be much more than a coincident. The morning came and went, it was now lunch time. Sofia and Cedric were heading towards the dining hall when James came bolting out of a classroom wearing a half made outfit on. Amber came out in a huff seeing her brother pressed up against the far wall starting to take off what was on him.
"That's it Amber! I won't be your dress up doll anymore! I spent all of last year being one and I will not spend my lunch period in a room for you to torture and dress up in your latest fashion."
James grabs his clothes quickly putting them on before running for the dining hall. Hearing amber yell at him as the three of us watch him running to what he considered his freedom.
"JAMES! Get back here!"
"Everything okay Amber?"
"No, I just lost my male model for my fall line I am working on! Now who will….."
She stopped mid-sentence and eyed Cedric, a devilish grin formed on her face, he now understood where Sofia got hers but Ambers was worse, he actually felt like he was doomed. Taking a step back he didn't have time to run before Amber grabbed a hold of his arm pulling him into the room she was using. Sofia calmly fallowed them in shutting the door behind her,
"Loki! You are my new male model now stand here and let me get your measurements."
"Princess Amber, I never said I was going to do this."
"Too late, my mind is made up and seeing how you technically work for me you have no choice in this matter unless you want me to talk to my father."
She got him there; there was no way that she could deny her. She had way too much over him for her to even consider denying her. Giving one last shot at his freedom he looked over at Sofia with pleading eyes, they failed when she noticed her sitting on the teacher's desk smiling while she watched everything unfold. Amber didn't want to wait any further and started to undress Cedric to get his measurement's, Cedric jumped back like his life depended on it.
"Young lady what in the heavens are you doing?!"
She sighed placing her hand on her hips staring him down,
"Oh don't get over excited I need to get your proper measurements and for that you need to strip down to your boxers. No one here will be getting excited over your body trust me."
His face burned red at the thought of both the Castles princesses seeing him so exposed. Amber impatient grew, Sofia got up from the desk walking over to him placing a hand on his shoulder, he tensed up.
"Cedric it won't be that bad, Amber has taken my measurement's and James thousands of times over the year. She is very professional about it. Trust her, okay?"
He groaned,
"Fine but keep any snickering to yourself I was and always have been well slender in nice terms."
He undid his robe setting it on teacher's desk and took a deep breath as he undid his tie fallowing his vest. He was working on his button up shirt when the teacher for the class walked in.
"Don't mind me, just need to grab something from my desk. I see you have attacked the new kid already Amber. You play nice and I will see you once lunch is over."
With that the teacher left again, Cedric just stood there in shock. Not even the teacher was going to save him from Amber. Sofia got up and locked the door and shut the curtain so he would have more privacy. Cedric silently thanked her; he finished getting his shirt off then undid the strings of his pants slipping his shoes off as he did. Taking them off he set them on the desk, Amber was on him quickly, using the tape measurer she had in her hand and writing down in on a note pad. Cedric had closed his eyes to embarrass to watch. Not knowing that Sofia was staring intently at him, he was indeed slender but it wasn't because he was malnourished it was all muscle. Feeling her cheeks heating up she knew she should look away but she couldn't. What got her to look away was Amber,
"Okay! I am all done you can get your clothes on again."
Amber sat at one of the seats in the class and started drawing in a book new ideas that would flatter her new model, Cedric quickly dressed his face was red and he didn't think he even took a breath the entire time Amber was busy measuring him. Happy that he was once again clothes he started to tie his tie when he realized Sofia hadn't said a work the entire time. Looking over at her he was about to say something but noticed the heated look he was getting from her, his eyes widened and his face flushed turning away from her. Grabbing his robe and putting it on he went straight to the door not saying a word. As soon as he opened it there was James on the other side about to open the door, inside he did a little thank you. James smirked knowing she found a replacement,
"Loki, you poor thing, Walk with me talk with me. Let's be men for the last little bit of lunch."
More than willing to make distance between from the girls he fallowed James.
