Sofia just had to pass Prince Hugo to win the tryout race. It was a bright, sunny, day and she could hear the crowd chanting her name. Over all the voices of the crowd, she could still hear the most important one. Ambers.

"Go Sofia!" She heard Amber cheer louder than anyone. Sofia looked back to her older sister pleased to see her smiling and cheering, but when she turned around, everything had changed. It was dark and it looked like a storm was closing in. Ahead of her, Prince Hugo had Amber with her hands tied and a cloth over her screaming mouth.

"Hurry Minimus! We have to save Amber!" Sofia screamed. But Prince Hugo stopped abruptly in front of Sofia causing her to fall off of her horse from such a great height. All she could hear was Amber screaming her name through the cloth as she fell from the sky.

THUD

Sofia hit the floor beside her bed. Her face was wet with tears as she had been crying in her sleep. She climbed back into her bed trying to console herself by saying,"It was only a dream. Just a dream. Amber is okay."

Back when it was just her and her mom in the village, Sofia would sleep with her mom to stop the nightmares. But now that she lived in the castle with the royal family, she just didn't really feel comfortable with it. After all, Princesses aren't supposed to be afraid of anything. King Roland might think that she was acting like a baby. The person she really wanted to be with, though, was Amber. The person she loved more than any other.

The door swung open and Amber ran in with a concerned look on her face.

Sofia! Are you alright? I heard a loud thud and I thought...have you been crying?" Amber walked toward Sofia's bed and sat beside her. Sofia wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at Amber.

"You had a nightmare didn't you?" Amber asked understandingly. "I have them sometimes too. Like once, we were learning a new spell at school, but all I could do was summon frogs. So I couldn't do the spell right, the whole school was filling with frogs and everyone was mad at me."

Sofia began to giggle at Amber for being so Amber-ish.

"What? There are only three things I'm afraid of: Failure, not being popular, and frogs!" Amber defended starting to giggle along with Sofia.

"Well I'm alright now, thank you, Amber." Sofia said smiling as she pulled her sister into a tight hug.

"I think I should stay with you." Amber said.

"I'm fine Amber, really...you don't have to..." Sofia said turning away so Amber wouldn't see that she was blushing. But Amber noticed and smirked a bit.

"I want to, to be sure you'll be alright. I wouldn't want you to fall out of bed again." Amber added teasingly before slipping under the covers next to Sofia. As she slipped in Sofia felt Amber's leg rub against hers. She blushed hard and her heart tightened. Then Amber wrapped her arms around the young princess holding her close.

"Goodnight, Sofia." Amber said smiling.

"Goodnight." Sofia managed to squeak out.

Amber held Sofia all night long. Sofia felt amazing, she didn't understand what was happening, but it was amazing none the less. When morning came she couldn't get out of bed because Amber was still asleep and still holding her. Amber always slept in late so Sofia decided to try and slip out without waking her. When she tried to get out Amber's grip grew tighter and she pulled Sofia back to her.

"Don't leave yet, Sofia." Amber said without opening her eyes. Sofia couldn't turn down an opportunity to cuddle with Amber, so she turned around to face Amber and held her hands. Slowly Amber opened her eyes and said,

"Hi."

"Hi." Sofia giggled back. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment, but suddenly Sofia shyed away and felt awkward. She let go of Amber's hands and sat up on her bed.

"Um I better go get dressed and head downstairs for breakfast..." She said awkwardly while stepping off the bed.

"Ughhhhhh." Amber groaned not wanted to get up yet. Sofia giggled at her causing her to smile and decide to get up.

Amber went back to her room and got dressed, then she crawled under her bed opened a secret door and pulled out her diary. She wrote in that diary about everything exciting that happened between her and her sister. In her opinion, last night would be the best entry yet.

She then joined Sofia and the rest of the family for breakfast in the dining hall. As the King and Queen chatted and James stuffed his face Sofia and Amber ate slowly glancing at one another every so often trying to figure out what the other was thinking. Sofia loved Amber, and Amber loved Sofia. Amber was more bold however, and more convinced Sofia loved her was determined to find out how Sofia felt for her. Sofia was a little shy and awkward when it came to Amber, she was determined to hide how she felt for fear of losing the love of her sister. After breakfast Sofia returned to her room to feed Clover and his friends before school. Amber just watched her walk out of the room admiring her beauty and smiling happily about how she had held her last night.

At school Sofia was sitting with Vivian and Amber was sitting with Clio and Hildeguard. Amber was trying to pay attention to the conversation, but she couldn't stop thinking about Sofia. She couldn't help but feel like there was something between Vivian and Sofia. They had some sort of connection. Amber hated that. She wanted Sofia all to herself.

"Amber keeps looking over here." Vivian told Sofia.

"Really!? Is she looking at me?!" Sofia asked anxiously. Sofia and Vivian did have a connection. Vivian was Sofia's closest human friend, and the only one beside Clover and Minimus that knew her secret. That she was in love with Amber.

"She looks like she wants to talk to you." Vivian said.

"Then why doesn't she?" Sofia asked her friend.

"AMBER! Are you even listening?" Hildeguard asked annoyed.

"Oh! I'm sorry Hildy, my mind has been elsewhere lately..." Amber said.4

"I'll say, "said Clio," You missed the whole story of Hildy's adventure in Tangu!"

During class Amber stared jealously at Vivian and Sofia since they sat together in class and were always partners for everything. The fairies taught them a new spell and of course Sofia got the hang of it right away, while the rest of the class had a bit of trouble. Since Vivian was her partner, Sofia tried to help her. She took Vivian's hand.

"Here, Vivian, wave your wand like this." Sofia instructed. Amber became red in the face.

"Like this?" Vivian asked with Sofia's hand still on hers.

"No, no. Like this." Sofia showed her again. Amber stormed out of the room.

"What's with her? Xandar asked James.

"I don't know, she hates failing, she's probably just mad she can't get the spell right." James answered.

"Excuse me, Vivian." Sofia said before exiting the class room to find Amber.

"Amber, are you alright? Why did you run out of class?" Sofia questioned.

"...I just hate getting spells wrong." Amber lied.

"Well I can help you." Sofia offered. Amber smiled.

"Thank you, Sofia." Amber hugged Sofia tightly and stroked her hair. Sofia enjoyed it and she enjoyed the smell of Amber that was invading her nose. But after a while the hug went too long and Sofia began to feel awkward. She tried to pull away but Amber pushed her against the wall still holding her tightly. Sofia began squirming in Amber's arms and Amber finally said, alright, alright, I'll let you go now, forgive me for wanting a little quality time with my sister.
