A Magical Evening

Disclaimer: this is a short story for a more grown up audience, so consider yourself warned right off the bat. I do not own "Sofia the First" - I simply have the pleasure of using the characters from that universe.

Sofia was nineteen. The past year had been interesting to say the least. Sad, too. Sad in the fact that she had learned that Cedric, somebody who she thought had been a friend, had betrayed her. He had tried to steal her amulet, and was found out in the process. Of course, Cedric was immediately dismissed from his position, and banished from the castle.

King Roland needed somebody to replace Cedric. And, as luck would have it, Sofia's dear friend, Lucinda, had just finished magical school, graduating with the highest of honors. Roland approached Lucinda and offered her the position that Cedric had once held. Of course, Lucinda accepted immediately. Afterall, to be offered such a position just after leaving magical school was a dream come true.

For Lucinda, the position had it's perks. Not only was she now the royal sorceress of Enchancia, but she was also well respected in that position, even earning her a place at the royal dining table - something that not even Cedric had been able to earn. The position also gave Lucinda another, secret, perk. It allowed her to be close to her dear friend Sofia. Now they were under the same roof.

Sofia and Lucinda had been close friends for years. And it was Lucinda who had comforted Sofia when Cedric had been found out. When Roland had offered Lucinda the position that had been held by Cedric, Sofia had given her blessing immediately.

Getting back to the here and now, this day had been Sofia's nineteenth birthday, and a fine time had been had by all. It was now evening, and Sofia was in her bedroom getting ready for bed. Sofia then heard a 'poof' behind her. Sofia smiled.

"There you are, my precious Lucinda" Sofia warmly greeted as she walked over to her bedroom door, locking it.

"Your looking lovely tonight, Sofia" Lucinda warmly smiled.

"As are you" Sofia said as he returned the smile.

The two friends then held each other in a tender embrace.

"I'm glad your here" Sofia gently smiled. "This is the perfect end to a perfect day".

Sofia and Lucinda climbed into Sofia's bed, enjoying each other's company. They had been close like this since they were sixteen. Of course, it was a secret known only to the two of them.

As they lay in Sofia's bed, Sofia melted into Lucinda's arms. Lucinda was the one person who Sofia could feel totally safe with. Soon, the two started to embrace each other. It was pure joy.

"I have a special gift for you tonight" Lucinda warmly smiled as she brought out her wand. "Remember when we were kids I told you that having a broom was the best part of being a witch? Well, lets just say it's now the second best thing about being a witch".

Lucinda then flicked her wand, and slowly ran it across Sofia's body. Sofia shuttered in delight.

"Lucinda" Sofia smiled. "You never told me your wand could do that".

"It's in vibrate mode" Lucinda grinned. "Amazing what you learn in magical school".

The two young women spent the night together, enjoying each other in a special way. Afterward, Sofia laid in bed with Lucinda. As Sofia looked at Lucinda, who had already fallen asleep, Sofia smiled.

"Your my friend, my confidant ... and my protector" Sofia thought with a smile as she looked at Lucinda. Everything was right with the world.
