Sofia the First

Chapter 4: Ladies' Day

Peace and quiet, that was what Sofia was getting as she sat in a chair to read a book. Life had been so busy lately. Why couldn't she get one day to herself? For weeks she had been busy packing up her stuff and planning a wedding that it made her tired. Yes, all this stuff had lead to book reading.

Nothing could ruin this peaceful moment! At least that's what she was hoping. "Sofia!" Amber called as she made her way up to the youngest princess. Well, so much for a peaceful day.

A sigh escaped auburn-haired girl's mouth as she laid her her book down on the table nect to the chair she was sitting in. What needed her attention this time, the last thing she needed was an invasion. Perhaps, if she was lucky someone would save her from Amber but no no such luck would ever come.

Sofia had no more lessons to take, no schoolwork to finish so she had no excuse to escape.

"What is it Amber?" Sofia asked as lay her head in the palms of her hands and looked up a Amber's bright face. When Amber had a smile Sofia knew a idea was in her head. She would know it by now after all these years with her sister.

"I've been noticing that all this crazy wedding plannimgs and packing has made you feel exhausted so mother and I have decided that we need a spa day!" she said as excitement had built in her voice. "It was actually my idea but mom agreed to come with us."

"What is a spa Amber?"

"Only the latest in...well all all I can say is that it will help you relax. I can't explain it myself but Hildegard and Clio have tried it out and they say it's pretty neat for us royals."

"I don't know Amber, this book I'm reading is already helping me relax. I may need whatever it is you call a spa." Sofia said as she smiled and held up her book.

Amber crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.. "Oh, you can read a book anytime this will give us some girl time before your ball and wedding. Trust me Sofia you'll have the best time, not to mention Gwen had helped to invent this spa with her inventions."

This piece of news made Sofia brighten. It had been quite some time since she had last seen Gwen, after helpig Amber with her "Berry Bal" all those years ago Gwen's inventions were begining to become popular all over the world. Now all sorts of inventions were helping Kingdoms do things easier.

"Okay Amber, lead the way!"

"You won't regret your decision."

...

In the village of Dummwitty, many things had been addded and Sofia could hardly reconize the village she once had lived in.

"Girls, this where your father and I are going to live once James inherits the throne." Miranda said as she pionted to the house that was once Miranda's home.

"What!" both girls exclaimed. Sofia was happy for her mother but Amber was shocked."Why would you want to live back here mother? What would you do back in Dummwitty?"

"Be glad for them Amber besides at least dad won't be 'baking' like last time when we all lived in the village."

"This is true but what 're going to do we haven't decided yet. We'll get to the job figured out once we move."

When the coach stopped in front of the Spa Gwen came to greet them as the royal trio stepped out of the cairrage. "Hello, everyone it's good see you all again. I have arranged for special treament for you guys once I recieved Princess Amber's request." Gwen said after her curtsy.

"It's good see you again Gwen." Sofia greeted in return. "The last time I heard from you, you were making another music invetion for Vivvian."

"Well, I've made all sorts of things since we last talked. Come on in and we'll catch up with each other as you get you spa treatments." The ladies followed Gwen inside after the queen had given the coachmen some instructions to return in a hour.

...

As the Miranda, Amber and Sofia were getting their spa treatment they caught up with their favorite royal inventor.

"So Sofia's getting married to Prince Hugo, Amber's having her first child and James is inheritting the kingdom in just a few days? Gee, it seemed like only yesterday you guys were children. I'll have to send a baby present to you later Amber, is it going to be a prince or a princess?"

"We're not sure yet but if it's a girl I am naming her after my unicorn." She said dreaily as lloked up to the ceiling.

"Really Amber, Liza!" Sofia asked as she and the others laughed Amber's fondness of her unicorn. "What if it's a boy?"

Amber put a fingure to her chin as she thought. "Well, how about Preston or Brandon?" Amber asked but then listed all sorts of boy names. If there was anything Sofia knew Amber wouldn't have to worry about piccking out names.

Deciding too change the subject Sofia asked Gwen what she was planning to do on her upcoming inventions. "After the girls get my invetions figured iut I'll be coninuing to make inventions for any kingdom upon their request so I don't know yet. Knowing how everyone loves my invetions I might become busyier than I've ever been."

"You'll do great Gwen!" Sofia said giving her friend something positve thought.

...

When the royal trio returned to the castle Sofia thanked her mother and sister for a fun day in the village. The trip had made her very happy, Amber was right, she didn't regret this trip at all! She got to relax and spend time catching up with an old friend. Before they had left the Spa she had invited Gwen to her ball and wedding that was going to be two days away. This day made Sofia feel like she could conqure anything!

As she smelled the aroma of a flower she had picked from the garden Sofia felt familiar eyes watching her. When she looked up she saw Cedric looking out the window and watching her. All the happiness she had felt from the day had disappeared. Seeing the sorcerer made Sofia remember that there was a matter to be settled. Worries would still come. Trouble was still lurking around. The youngest princess hoped the matter wouldn't ruin her special night.

Dropping the flower to the ground Sofia made her way back inside. She waasn't going to let this feeling she felt now ruin such a perfect day. Dinner was almost ready, she needed to go join her family for the royal supper.
