A/N: Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I updated but I'm here now. I have looked over the reviews and a lot of you were right about the amulet granting Cedric a visitor and I wasn't going to have princess but a sorcerer, I was going to pick Merlin but I gotten him mixed up with someone else. So I guess we'll see him later if Aquaturqoise still plans to put him in her stories. As for the person I picked, I wanted it to be a surprise. I wasn't sure what I was going to name the last chapter but when I went on YouTube a new Cedric and Sofia tribute song inspired me. The person who made it was Blackberry Koji and the video title is "Because you're my friend" I plan to do One-Shot with that song next but for now enjoy the ending to this story! Please Read and Review!

Sofia the First: How Could She?

Chapter 5: You're My Friend

As Wormwood entered into Mystic Meadows the bird was glad he was able to remember where the place was. Now he needed to find Cedric's parents, he hoped they would be able to snap Cedric out of his depressive state. Otherwise he would be stuck with a miserable master. He certainly didn't want that forever.

Once the raven spotted the familiar cabin he flew down to the open window sill where he saw Winifred put a fresh batch of fly cakes out to cool. Goodwin was looking through spell books , waiting for his wife to get done so they could spend some time together alone.

Once the sorceress looked up she spotted the raven flying towards her. "Goodwin, I believe we have some company to welcome." Goodwin looked away from the book and recognized the raven immediately. He closed the book then raced up to Winifred.

"I believe that's Wormwood, Cedric's raven!" They were surprised their son didn't accompany his pet, did something terrible happen?

Once Wormwood landed on the ground he squawked like no tomorrow. Both sorcerers shared a glance at each other and decided to use a translation spell. Goodwin pulled his wand out of the sleeve of his robe and said the magic words.

"So that's why you must go see Cedric." The sorcerers heard the raven finish. "Tell us again Wormwood, we couldn't understand you before. Tell us again." said Winifred. Wormwood frowned and told the whole situation that was going on between Cedric and Sofia. "So you MUST come try to snap him out of his depression!"

Meanwhile back in Enchantia Cedric was lying on his bed looking at a gift Sofia had given him when he had given her first sorcery lesson. The jeweled necklace was treasured, Cedric wasn't much into wearing a necklace besides her amulet but he kept the gift because it meant something he use to feel but now he wondered if he should throw all of Sofia's gifts away. Deep inside he couldn't throw it away, a gift was still a gift.

He put the necklace aside and picked up his most recent gift from the princess, the wand case. On her second Wasilla, Sofia made that holiday special for him that year. Since it was becoming so helpful keeping the family wand safe, he didn't want to get rid of that either! It was too important!

As he was about to set it aside he heard an unfamiliar voice. "He must be in his room." Before he knew it, he saw not only Wormwood fly in his room but saw his parents follow the bird inside. He wondered what was going on.

"Cedric, why in the world are you in your room, you should be making potions!" Goodwin yelled making Cedric fall out of his bed from the outburst. Winifred glared at her husband; anger wasn't a good way to get him out of his slump.

She sighed and decided to try her approach. "Cedikins, Wormy has told us you've been in a depressive state. What's going on?" Winifred knew what was going on she just wanted to her son to admit what the problem was. She remembered seeing him coming home from Hexely Hall with the same expression over the years and tried to make him feel better each time it happened.

Cedric climbed back onto the bed holding his wand case in his hands. "I just….." he sighed. The dark-haired sorcerer didn't know how he would explain that the princess had broken his heart, his parents enjoyed the princess.

Trying again he said "I just had a big argument with Princess Sofia a few weeks ago and punished her for disobeying one of my rules. I thought the punishment might help her learn her lesson but instead it's hurting me. The pain is distracting me from my work; I just can't get anything done! I can just barely sleep at night. Now, I don't know what to do except eat jelly beans."

Winifred looked at Goodwin and nudged him to talk. "Well, have you tried to talk to her, I believe it will make things better. Wormwood said Sofia is in depression too, maybe you ought to try it."

Cedric was surprised to hear the princess was suffering too. "I can't face her not after all she has done to get herself punished." He threw the wand case to the floor and crossed his arms. He glared at his father then buried his head in his arms.

The two old sorcerers realized their son was back to his cold self but this time he had no friend to comfort him, they could see the hurt within his brown eyes. What could they say to save their son from his hurts? Could they even do anything? Winifred smiled and knew exactly what could get him to his senses.

She sat down next to him and put an arm around his shoulders. "You know you're right. Princess Sofia does deserve to suffer the hurt you're feeling right now," Cedric looked at her confused. What was she saying?

"Yes, of course I'm right. I am Cedric the….." He glared at his mother this time. She almost made him say his profound name the princess gave him. "Forget it mother, I won't forgive her for what she's done, now if you excuse me I must get back to my slump."

The couple looked at each other then decided to give him his privacy. They did everything they could; now he just needed to think over what they said. "Just remember Cedikins, everyone deserves forgiveness."

The two then used their wands to teleport back home. Hoping their son would go back to loving the princess and become happy again.

With his parents gone Cedric glared at his pet that sat at his feet. "You HAD to tell on me didn't you?" Wormwood shrugged and said "I just wanted you and I to go back to scheming plots at trying to steal the princess' amulet but no you're stuck here in your room eating jelly beans and being in a slump over the princess' friendship! If you ever get done being sad come look for me."

Once the raven was out of the room Cedric made a note to himself to put Wormy back to squawking mode.

With the visitors gone Cedric lay back down and closed his eyes. He wasn't planning to fall asleep but something made him sleepy. What was it? Yet did he know that Sofia's amulet was putting him under a sleeping spell again.

When Cedric opened his eyes again he found himself under the same tree like the one in his previous dream with Sofia. When looked down he saw a mysterious man with a blue robe and a blue sorcerer hat with white stars on it, his bread was a long grayish white but his expression made him question who the was and what he wanted?

"Who are you?" Cedric asked the man. The man didn't answer his question right away but said "Cedric, we need to talk. My name is Yen Sid and I am here to help you with your problem. I use to have an apprentice who disobeyed me too but I have forgiven him. Have you forgiven your apprentice?"

Cedric slumped back against the tree. This Yen Sid was quite a scary sorcerer but knew there was good in him. "No, I haven't." He finally said wondering what he would do next.

Yen Sid looked at the young man for a minute then turned away from him. "I see, so the princess doesn't deserve forgiveness then huh? She must be a cruel person." Cedric glared at the man for a minute then stopped. What was he doing? Why was he defending her? Did he still care for her? He must still do if he was defending her.

"I'll make our conversation short and sweet for you. I know you still care for the princess; you are defending her after all. All of the apprentices are not perfect but let me ask you this: What if you had a different apprentice? Would they be able replace this princess?"

Cedric considered Yen Sid's question for a moment but already knew the answer. "No, Sofia would beat all of the apprentices' in the world! She has something nobody else does, this talent makes everyone love her…" While Cedric was rambling on Yen Sid used his wand to an image of a sad princess appears before him.

"And I owe her more than she knows." Cedric said then looked up to see a sad apprentice. "What have I done, Yen Sid, I hurt the princess! I promised myself I would never hurt the friendship I have with her! And what have I done..."

Before he knew it Cedric woke up, jumped out of his bed and raced down the tower and toward Sofia's Chamber!

Well he was at her door there was no going back now. After all he needed her friendship back. He hoped she would forgive him. He knocked then waited for her answer. "Who's there?" he heard her ask in her sad voice.

"It's Cedric, princess may I come in?" he asked her hoping she would allow it. There was a silence for a few minutes but the door finally opened.

"What is it Mr. Cedric?" She asked. Seeing her sad eyes Cedric entered and shut the door behind him. Sofia wondered what he wanted, what else did she do? The sorcerer saw her clutch her pillow, he led her to her bed and sat her down in his lap. Was she dreaming?

"Princess, I'm sorry I did not forgive you before. I didn't realize this punishment would put us both in heartache. I had pushed you away that I was afraid to …. be hurt again. I had forgotten that this was only your first punishment from me and I was too harsh. I had forgotten you were still a child."

Sofia saw his sad face and hugged him tight as he continued "And I do not expect you to forgive me. I am a cold man as you know and only you can bring me out of the darkness from my heart." There was silence for a while as Cedric hugged her close. He had wanted to do that for a long while.

A smile spread across the child's face as she looked at the peaceful sorcerer. "It's okay Mr. Cedric, I needed to be punished. Your punishment has made me realize that if I disobey you again I could lose your trust. After all, if I did not learn that lesson and had used my anger against you I would have turned evil, and you don't want an evil apprentice do you Mr. Cedric?"

Cedric shook his head. "If I had an evil apprentice the world would be covered in darkness," he thought to himself.

Sofia jumped out of his lap pulled his hand "Well come on, you still have got to teach me some more spells and make more potions. Let's go!" With that Princess Sofia pulled a shocked sorcerer to his Workshop for more lessons!

A/N: I can't believe how long this turned out! I hope I have made everyone happy again; Cedric and Sofia are friends again! Were you surprised Yen Sid was the visitor? I hope anyone wasn't out of character! Anyways please review, I can't wait to see what you have to say about this long chapter! I am so proud of myself!
