all the royal people eat

We'd be glad to make some room

for a lentil or legume

If you want some first-class service

there 's a price

And a little bit of food

Would sure be nice

- Oh, a little bit of food

A little bit of food

- Just a little bit of food

Just a little bit of food

Nice.

Time for school.

Mmm-hmm.

Don't worry about the other kids, Sofia.

You gotta keep your eye on the ball.

And I'm talking about

your royal ball, honey.

You're right, Clover.

I'm going to learn

how to be the best princess ever.

That'll show 'em.

Yo! You go, princess.

Hmun dang zawng aia tlawma

Take the horses in back.

Give them something to eat.

I want the gold-ware, not the silverware.

Coming through to the kitchen.

This is a royal occasion, not a picnic.

Sorry, sir.

Make it work, everyone.

Sofia, how was school?

I thought being a princess

would be easy.

- But it's really hard.

- Hmm.

I know just what you need.

Jade! Ruby!

I thought you could use

some familiar faces.

Thanks, Mom!

Jade! Ruby! I'm so glad to see you.

Hi, Sofia!

- How many gowns do you have?

- Uh... Lots.

- We've really missed you, Sofia.

- I've missed you, too.

Oh, how many tiaras?

Five. No, six.

Oh.

Here. Let me help you with that.

Prince James.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. I've been a royal dunce.

- But I want to make it up to you.

- How?

Well, by teaching you all the royal stuff

you need to know for the ball.

We can start with how to pour

the perfect cup of tea.

Prince James poured me tea!

Best curtsey I've seen all year.

You're all set for the ball now.

My work here is done.

- There is one more thing.

- What?

I can't dance.

Is that all? No problem.

We have dance class

with Professor Popov tomorrow.

But the ball is tomorrow night.

One class with Popov and you'll be

dancing circles around all of us.

Trust me. Okay?

Okay.

Sofia, don't even think about touching

those stinky shoes.

I brought an extra pair just for you.

Thanks, Amber.

You're very welcome.

Now, hurry up and get ready.

Children, gather round.

So you think you can waltz, eh?

We shall see about that.

I need volunteer!

Mmm.

New girl. Excellent. Pop-pop-pop.

Follow my lead. If you dare.

Mmm.

Oh!

What's going on?

Whoa!

Oh.

Uh.

Oh, Sofia. I must have grabbed a pair of

Cedric's trick shoes by mistake.

He's always leaving his stuff

lying around the castle.

Sorry about that.

Coachman, can we get going?

The ball starts in four hours.

I'll barely have enough time

to get dressed.

Ah. Princess Sofia.

The ballroom is almost ready.

It's beautiful.

There's only one thing missing.

A princess.

It's your time to shine, Sofia.

And I can't wait to see your first waltz.

I know. Mr. Ceedric.

- Hmm?

- Oh, Mr. Ceedric?

- Hi!

- It's Cedric.

- May I come in?

- Must you?

What is it?

Remember how you said

if I ever needed any help?

Of course I remember.

I was the one who said it.

Well, I was wondering,

do you have a spell that

can make me a good dancer?

It's for the ball tonight.

I don't want to look silly

in front of everyone.

Mmm?

Mmm.

Yes. Everyone will be there.

I have just the spell for you.

Yes, I do.

And here we are.

No, no, no. Not now!

You must wait until the waltz begins.

Then just say those three magic words

and you'll become the best dancer

in the kingdom.

Thanks, Mr. Ceedric.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

That makes two of us.

Oh, come on.

You didn't really think

I gave her a dancing spell, did you?

When she utters the magic words

I gave her,

everyone in the ballroom

will fall into a deep sleep,

even her dear old mom and dad.

And I'll only wake them up

if she hands over the amulet.

And then the kingdom will be mine!

You look lovely, Miss Amber.

Perfect as usual.

I need to talk to my sister. Alone.

Mmm-hmm.

How do I look?

You gave Sofia the trick shoes

on purpose.

If I recall,

you played a prank on her, too.

What you did wasn't a prank.

She needed those dance lessons.

You're trying to ruin her ball.

And I know why.

Because she doesn't belong here?

No. Because everyone likes her

more than you.

And after what you did today, so do I.

- You don't mean that.

- Yes, I do.

Wait. James! Come back!

Oh.

MY gown!

Suzette! Marcie!

Look at you, Princess Sofia.

Pretty, pretty, pretty.

- Sofia! You look beautiful!

- You look gorgeous.

Prettiest princess in the palace.

All hail Princess Sofia.

- Sofia.

- Your Majesty.

It's almost sleepy time!

Shall we dance?

Somnibus Populi Cella.

What?

It's working.

Soon everyone in the ballroom

will be asleep.

Oh, no!

Mom? Mom? I must have said it wrong.

Please wake up.

Help! Help! Help! Someone. Anyone.

Mr. Ceedric?

Guards? Suzette? Marcie? Help!

What have I done?

Cinderella? What are you doing here?

Your amulet brought me here.

It links all the princesses that ever were.

And when one of us is in trouble,

another will come to help.

Why are you so sad, Sofia?

I tried to use a magic spell

to make myself a good dancer,

but it put everyone to sleep.

I should have just let them laugh at me.

Can you undo the spell?

Only you can do that.

But I think I can help you find your way.

Everyone's heard about the day

that true love came for me

He carried me off and far away

from my stepfamily

But ever since I wed the prince

and left my hurt behind

There's one regret! won't forget

that weighs upon my mind

My stepsisters let their jealousy

harden their heart

But when they ruined my ball gown

that's not all they tore apart

If only we had tried to see

a way to start anew

We may have found

that this time 'round

Our friendship only grew

We could have been true sisters

If we only made amends

True, true sisters

And ever after friends

You suddenly feel that all is lost

Frightened and alone

But maybe yours isn't the only heart

That's sinking like a stone

Though many of the ones you love are

frozen in a trance

Someone who's a lot like you

never made it to the dance

But Amber's been so mean to me.

Perhaps all she needs

is a second chance.

- You could be true sisters

- Sisters

If you only make amends

True, true sisters

Sisters

And ever after

Friends

What do you want?

I've done something terrible.

Come on, I'll show you.

A dancing spell put everyone to sleep?

I must have said it wrong.

It's all my fault.

No, Sofia.

You wouldn't have needed the spell

if I didn't give you those trick shoes.

I was just jealous because

everyone likes you more than me.

Even my own brother.

That's not true. You're the most

popular princess at Royal Prep.

You have no idea how happy I was

when I found out

we were going to be stepsisters.

Sofia, we're sisters.

How are we gonna wake them up?

Hmm.

Oh, I bet Cedric has a counter-spell

in one of his books.

Oh. But his workshop is always locked.

Not if you have the key.
