Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess Page #2

---

And then it's off to school.

Whoa! Steady now.

-- Wow.

Hey, Sofia.

Hi! Wait for me.

Why do the horses have...

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Amazing.

Princess Sofia.

Up here, dear.

Welcome to

the Royal Preparatory Academy.

I'm Flora.

And this is Fauna and this is...

Merryweather.

We' re the head mistresses

...of Royal Prep.

We're so excited you're here.

We're always looking

for a few good princesses.

That's great because I need to learn

to act like one by Friday.

- Oh! Oh my!

I'm afraid it will take a little longer

than a few days

to learn how to be a princess.

You see...

When someone new enrolls here

at good ol' Royal Prep

They're at that great beginning

They're taking that first step

Your lessons will commence here

once you pass through this door

So why not come and join us

And see what lies in store?

You'll learn the art of manners

- Of royal protocol

- That's right

And when to bow and curtsey

for functions big and small

You'll read books of fact and fiction

Of poetry and prose

You'll learn to give a royal speech

while perfectly composed

At Royal Prep, step-by-step

You'll gain wisdom and pep

So heed the call

Come be all you can be

- Every task, every test

- Just give it your best

- And we'll do the rest

- You'll see

- And don't forget our motto

- To which you'll be true

"Rule over others as you'd have them

rule over you"

You're taking your first step

at Royal Prep

We'll explore enchanted objects

Each creature, every charm

So spells of evil magic

will never do you harm

In arts and crafts, you'll draw and paint

Or maybe work with wood

You'll learn to fence as well as dance

For footwork both are good

At Royal Prep, step-by-step

You'll gain wisdom and pep

So heed the call

Come be all you can be

- Every task, every test

- Just give it your best

- And we'll do the rest

- You'll see

And don't forget our motto

To which you'll be true

"Rule over others as you'd have them

rule over you"

- We're royal all the way

- All the way

- At good 'ol RPA

- RPA

- It's step by step

- With wisdom, grace and pep

At Royal Prep

Time for your first class, dear.

Good luck.

Class, we have a new student.

How should we greet her?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning. Ooh!

- Oh, dear.

- Let me help you with that.

- Here's your book.

And then she dropped her forks

all over the floor.

Hi! I'm Sofia. Amber's sister.

Stepsister.

- Wow. Nice amulet.

- Thank you.

- Are you going to wear it to your ball?

- We're all going.

We can't wait.

- Whoo!

- Oh!

Hey, Amber. What's going on?

I think it's time Sofia took a ride

on the magic swing.

I don't know, Amber.

Father asked us

to make her feel welcome.

Isn't that how you welcome

all the new students?

Well, all right.

Hey, Sofia.

Oh, hi, James. What's going on?

Have you tried

the enchanted swing set?

You don't have to kick. It swings itself.

Go on. Try it.

Swings itself.

Never heard of that before.

Hmm.

Oh.

Uh...

Oh, no.

Here we go.

Whoa.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Good one, James. You got me.

Oh.

Don't worry.

The first day is always the hardest.

He played the same prank on me.

I better go dry off before the next class.

Sofia, wait!

I thought you said she was your sister.

She is.

What's that sound?

Oh, look. A baby bird.

It's all right. I can help.

There you go.

Just the two of you.

The way it should be.

Huh?

I guess I gotta go back.

Bye.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Huh?

We shouldn't have played that prank.

Sofia, wait!

Princess Sofia!

Oh, how was your first day of school,

my dear?

Tougher than I thought it would be.

Oh, poor thing.

Well, then, how would you like

a private tour of my lair?

I... I mean, workshop.

You know, not even the King himself

has seen it.

Hmm?

Just up the stairs. Come along.

And this, my dear,

is where the magic happens.

Oh, that's just Wormwood, my raven.

Now, you stop it, Wormie!

You're scaring the princess.

Now, I make all the royal potions

right here.

Wow! This is really neat, Mr. Ceedric.

Hey, that looks just like my amulet.

Well, I'll be a dragon's uncle,

you're right.

Oh, but if you had the Amulet of Avalor,

you'd know,

for it contains powerful magic.

With each deed performed,

for better or worse,

a power is granted, a blessing or curse.

- Really?

- Well, yeah, you know,

if it's the real amulet.

But only a certified sorcerer,

such as myself, could tell for sure.

If you like, I can take a quick look at it.

I don't know.

Oh, I'll give it right back. I promise.

But I promised never to take it off.

And my mother says, "A broken promise

can never be glued back together."

How irritatingly charming.

Oh, well, look at the time.

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

I know how hard it can be

adjusting to royal life.

So, if you ever need any help,

my door is always open.

Ooh! I'll get that amulet.

Well, should we wake her up?

Are you kidding? The girl screamed

like a banshee yesterday.

And I got sensitive ears.

- I'm not going to scream.

- That's a relief.

- You can hear us?

- You can talk?

"Can he stop talking?"

is a better question.

Hey!

So, what are we dealing with here?

Some kind of a magic spell

or something?

Hmm.

"With each deed performed,

for better or worse,

"a power is granted,

a blessing or curse."

I helped a baby bird yesterday

and I think the amulet gave

me the power to talk to animals!

Oh.

That is great, kid,

'cause there's a few things that

I've been meaning to talk

to you princesses about.

Clover, not now.

She needs to get dressed for school.

It's okay, Clover. Tell me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You ever heard of

personal space, momma? Put me down.

Oh, sorry. You're just so cute

and cuddly I couldn't help it.

- Yeah, well, please, help it.

Okay. Now, why do you think

us woodland creatures

have been helping you princesses

for all these years?

I don't know.

Tell me.

'Cause we gotta eat.

And you got the food.

We've helped princesses

for many eons

But you treat us all like furry peons

We make your bed

Clean up your messes

Wake you up

And put on all your dresses

And what's our reward?

What thanks do we get?

Not a crumb, not a morsel

No brie, no baguette

Did you really think

after all these years

When we did your chores

we were volunteers?

A little bit of food is all that we seek

A little bit to eat

- Fill our tummy

Wet our beak

A little bit to munch

- Like breakfast

- Dinner

Lunch

A nut, a seed, a bean

or just some rice

'Cause a little bit of food

would sure be nice

It really isn't much

Not too much for us to ask

After helping you daily

with each little task

Just a bite or two

Such a modest fee

Even little songbirds

Shouldn't sing for free

Well, if food is what you want...

Just a little bit

...- you've come to the right castle.

- Follow me.

A little bit to munch

And there's nothing quite like brunch

So, deliver just a sliver or a slice

Of whatever tasty treat
