Hey, sup you guys. Welcome to my first Sofia the First Fanfic. I do hope it comes to your liking. Please review when you are finished, to let me know what you think.

Chapter 1: Once Upon A Princess and A Dream

Mistresses Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, opened a large leather storybook. It's cover consisted of two jewels, the Amulet of Avalor and The Moon Pendant. Both hold real magical powers.

"Once upon a time in the magical kingdom of Enchancia, there lived two young girls named Sofia and Evolynn", Merryweather began. "Sofia and Evolynn led a simple life, working at the village shoe shop with their mother, Miranda".

She introduced the small family of females.

"One fateful day, they were summoned by King Roland the Second, who needed a new pair of royal slippers", Fauna continued as the threesome set off to the castle.

"Oh, I hope they're blue", Merryweather said full of excitement.

"No, red!" Argued Flora. The three young ladies curtsied as they entered the royal thrown room where the king was expecting them.

"We'll see", Fauna stated to stop a possible arguement. She narrated on. "Sofia, Evolynn and their mother arrived at the castle. The girls were very excited to meet the king". And it was true, well two out of three. Little Evie looked a little nervous due to her shy demeanor. She watched quietly as her mother worked, trying to distract herself from looking at the king.

"Miranda placed a slipper on the king's foot", announced Merryweather.

"It was a perfect fit, and so were they", Flora continued, as the new couple happily embraced each other while staring into each other's eyes lovingly. Sofia smiled for her mother, and surprisingly Evie did too. She was happy to see her mother smile. "King Roland and Miranda were soon married".

"And what seemed like a storybook ending, was really a storybook beginning!" Merryweather finished as she waved her wand. We return to the village at current time.

Sofia and Evolynn gazed out their bedroom window. It was like a parade outside their house, a lot of people were outside. Sofia hugged a small doll as she watched, while Evolynn just hugged her knees for she didn't have anything.

"Sofia, Evolynn, it's time to go", Miranda called to them,"The coach is waiting". She was sitting in the coach already, waiting for them.

"Coming mom!" Sofia answered gleefully as she hopped down off the window seat. Evie soon followed with a little hesitation. It was high enough and she wasn't that tall. Sofia smiled and went to help her.

"Come on Evolynn, mom's waiting for us", Sofia offered her hand and helped her down. Evie trotted out to the front door. As Sofia was about to follow her, she quickly grabbed the heart shaped picture on the wall of the three of them, before shortly joining her sister. As they stepped outside the whole village began cheering for them. Evolynn jumped out of fright and hid herself behind her sister. She was never one for being the centre of attention. She followed Sofia as they both joined their mother in the carriage. Evie sat beside her mother and held her hand for comfort. Reason why is because there were two big palace guards sitting on the other side which slightly intimidated her. Sofia happily sat between them as if they were old family. She took great comfort when she felt Miranda squeeze her hand slightly in return. It made her feel safe.

As their carriage started down the street, they were being chased by Sofia's BFFs, Ruby and Jade. They called out to her as they ran,

"Good luck Sofia! You too Evie!" Called Jade.

"Don't forget about us", Ruby added as both girls kept running.

"Bye Jade, bye Ruby!", Sofia called back as she waved to them. The two girls eventually stopped running and just waved as they ran out of steam near the end. Evolynn just waved a little bit. She knew them a little but not as much as Sofia did. It's only been a month and she hasn't mingled much really. She mainly stayed with Miranda helping at the shoe shop.

As the royal carriage made its way to the castle, it was followed by their shoe shop on another carriage which unknown to them had a few stowaways on board. Mainly consisting of a bunny, and squirrel and two birdies.

Soon enough the castle was in full view.

"Mom look, we're almost there!" Sofia said excitedly. It was easier for her to see it since she was sitting on the right side and not back facing it. "What do you think our room will be like? I hope there's going to be enough room for all of us", she faced her little sister,"What do you think Evolynn?" Evie thought about it for a bit. Honestly she wouldn't know what royal bedrooms look like in the slightest. So she just shrugged, it was the best answer she could give.

"Sofia, now since we're living in the castle, we'll each get our very own rooms", Miranda answered her excited elder daughter.

Both she and her daughter said a very excited "yes" in unison. They were excited about getting their own room, bar Miranda sharing with Roland, but Evie was a bit afraid. She'd just gotten used to her sister and moms company at night. It'll be hard to adapt to old habits again. She thought about the nights she'd gotten used to. Sofia sitting with her reading a book while trying to teach her how to read it as well. She was getting there for someone who didn't speak much. And at night when she'd cuddle up next to Miranda who in turn held her tightly yet softly in her arms. It made her feel safe and secure from the outside world. Now she'll be away from that, and that scared her to bits.

As they entered through the gates of the castle, it was like stepping through a portal. One minute your riding up through the forest, the next thing you know you're surrounded by the upper class people you've never seen before. They were all here to see the three new members of the royal family. Miranda may have seen a few of them at the wedding but the two girls hadn't a clue who these people were. As they stepped down from the carriage in their new royal gowns they somehow changed into, a flock of white turtle doves were released into the open air. Two pairs of trained doves as it seemed, placed tiaras on each of the girls heads. Sofia smiled at her new ensemble. Instead of her casual village dress, she wore a beautiful lavender gown with white patterns and pearls and poofy sleeves. Her tiara was the stereotype of silver and sparkly. Evolynn however was feeling very nervous as she felt all eyes on her and her sister. She had switched out of her usual skirt and long sleeve jumper, and into a dress that from waist down was the same shape as Sofia's but cream in colour. There were no sleeves just material that wrapped around below her shoulder revealing her bare neck and arms. It was mainly plain, even compared to Sofia's, but had a slight biscuit coloured swirl design on the bodice and at the foot of the dress. Tiara wise, hers was a bit smaller as the tip of it was only seen on her head, the rest of it was hidden in her thick hair. It was rather modest as well, only consisting of a single turquoise diamond in the dead centre. She suddenly felt warm as she made her way to her new family with her sister and mother. Nervousness most likely.

King Roland watched with his children, Amber and James, as their new family approached them.

"Uh-oh", James smirked as he spotted Sofia and Evolynn. "Looks like someone's not going to be the fairest in the land anymore", he teased his sister.

Amber in return hid her scowl and disgust behind her fan.

"Amber, James, I trust you will do your best to make you new sisters feel welcome", King Roland asked his blood children with a hint of sternness.

"Of course, father", Amber answered him dryly.

"Your majesty", Sofia and Miranda said in unison as the three of them curtseyed followed by a light giggle.

"King Roland the Second", Miranda smiled happily as she walked up to her newly wed.

"Queen Miranda", Roland smiled just the same as he placed a kiss on her hand.

Meanwhile the children, mostly, we're having their own introduction.

"Hey, there", Sofia greeted to her new older siblings while holding onto Evie's hand.

"Good morrow Sofia, Evolynn", James greeted as he bowed slightly.

"Great morrow Prince James", Sofia grinned as she did a somewhat awkward curtsy while holding her little sisters hand. Speaking of which, Evie just stood there. She had one question in her mind, and one question alone as of now. What's morrow? Morning? She wasn't sure.

"Princess Amber! We are so excited we're going to be sisters!" She heard Sofia squeal in delight.

"Stepsisters", corrected the haughty princess behind her fan. Evie could see that she wasn't liking this much. She felt a nudge at her side and turned to face her sister.

"Aren't you going to say hi?" She asked gently with a smile. It's important to be nice isn't it? That's what Miranda taught her in the month she stayed with her, with them. Evie remembered back to when Miranda took her in with open arms and was so kind, it was like a dream. Smiling at the memory, she nodded and turned to the twins.

"Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you", she said politely in her soft and barely audible voice. Sofia smiled, at least she's making an effort.

James smiled at his new sister, "Pleasures all ours, right Amber?" He noticed his sister looking at her with a scowl. Thankfully it was hidden well behind her fan, but her eyes said it all. Seeing her not going to answer, he nudged her slightly to get her attention.

"What?" She huffed. James gestured to Evie. Amber was slightly closer to her than James, so she heard a little better but not much. "Oh yes, pleasures all mine".

"Amber, James, I know there are not many fairytales about kind and loving stepmothers", Miranda explained as she approached her new stepchildren. "But I hope to change that". She handed them a small crafted patch each. "I made them myself".

Evie remembered when Miranda was making them. It became her top priority when she had free time. It wasn't much fun when she was working on them, while Sofia was out at school or such, it meant that she was alone for a while. Thankfully, Miranda is a fast sewer and often had her piece for the day done in a matter of an hour and a half, nearly.

"Hey, it's our family crest", James stated happily as he examined his gift.

"That's right James", Miranda agreed,"Because that's what this is all about, becoming a new family". As she said that, she placed a hand on her youngest daughters shoulder. She knew that this whole thing would probably be a little hard on her, but just to show that she had support whenever she needed it.

"Sofia, Evolynn, welcome to the family", Roland smiled as he looked at his two new daughters.

Bailywick, the castle steward was standing nearby the whole time, until now. He stepped forward and made his announcement,

"All hail, Queen Miranda, Princess Sofia, and Princess Evolynn!" He declared with such power in his voice. He was a roaring lion compared to little Evie.

The crowd cheered with glee after repeating what the steward said.

"Roje Flora!" Yelled a voice from behind the royal family. Out of reflexes, Evie did a one-eighty turn to who it was. It was a tall, slick man with a wand. A dash of light shot out of his wand and to the sky. Suddenly a crack of thunder was heard. If there's one thing Evie hates a lot, it's thunder. She went and hugged close to Miranda for comfort, who in return wrapped an arm around her. She felt a slight drizzle until she noticed that a bunch of men were holding umbrellas over them.

"Cedric, I said flowers, not showers", Roland said sternly to the man behind him.

"Oh, excuse me your highness", the man Cedric flustered, "I'm still breaking in my new wand". He started fumbling around with it.

"That's Cedric, our royal sorcerer", Roland explained to Sofia and Evie, "He comes from a long line of royal sorcerers, so we're stuck with him". He made it sound more like a burden than a privilege.

Evie watched as Cedric shot out another dash of light, but facing the wrong way. Thankfully he ducked as the light bounced off the door and to the sky. Immediately, the dark clouds of rain, turned to white clouds raining, flower petals.

"Ooh, rose petals", Sofia cooed as she reached her hands up to the petals. Evie became fascinated as well as she let go of her mother. She looked up and awed at the beautiful sight. A petal suddenly landed on her nose, making her look cross eyed at it. It didn't stay long as she sneezed it off a second later. It wasn't a big sneeze, more like the tiniest sneeze ever.

Both Evie and Sofia looked to see there step sibling waving to the crowd.

"Should we wave?", Sofia asked them.

"Yes, you should both wave", Amber said as if 'yeah it's so obvious', while emphasising on the word both. She meant Evie as well.

"Right", Sofia agreed. Evie brought up her hand a little. She was about to start waving to the crowd who were all looking at her. She stopped as her face heated. Thankfully she was somewhat saved by Sofia, who had her arm waving about like a maniac.

"Hi! hello!", she called to no one particular in the crowd. Amber and James shared a look as she did this. Evie was just trying not to get hit in the face with her arm waving about everywhere.

Going down the vast hallway to the throne room, Sofia walked with Amber with Evie trailing behind slightly trying to keep up. Evie noticed her sister curtsying to each staff member as she passed them.

"We don't have to curtsy to them unless they're royalty", Amber told them like it was as simple as two plus two. But that all depends if you know what two plus two is. (Evie doesn't. Don't tell her I said that).

"Oh right", Sofia blushed slightly as she stopped. "I think it's going to take a while for us to get the hang of things around here".

"Just follow my lead and you'll be okay", Amber explained, head still high.

"Great", Sofia smiled as she excitedly walked slightly ahead of Amber. She of course didn't like being second best, so she quickly gained speed to go in front again.

"That means I lead, you both follow", she said haughtily as she walked on more.

"Oh okay", Sofia shrugged. No biggie. "Following".

Voices were suddenly heard from their left. Fascinated, Sofia stopped walking to see what it was. Evie looked over as well but kept walking to close the gap a bit. She may not be watching where she was going but it can't be so bad. The hall was straight and long, so no sudden turns and walls she'd bump into. But there was something she could bump into, Sofia. Eventually she did close the gap and walked into Sofia's back. It made Evie fall on her back. At least she saw what was going on. Three servants came in with three different thrones. One for her mother, Sofia and herself were placed by the Kings right side. Their colours matched what gown they wore. She noticed that hers was the smallest and lightest throne there with a shade of cream.

Sofia turned to see who walked into her. Seeing her nicer sister, she smiled and helped her up. When they were both standing, someone else bumped into Sofia from behind.

"Why don't you two watch where your dawdling", judging from that voice it obviously...

"Mr. Ceedric!" Sofia gasped in awe. 'Ceedric?' Evie thought like, really?

"It's Cedric", the sorcerer corrected with a hint of annoyance.

"It's so great to meet a real live sorcerer", Sofia of course ignored his correction and went on like a gawking school girl. "That flower trick was a-mazing!"

"If by amazing, you mean a complete waste of my talents, then yes thank you very much", he nagged like a child. "I should be out slaying dragons and battling ogres, but nooooo! King Roland has me doing parlour tricks when I should be-"

His ranting was cut off by someone clearing their throat. Maybe he noticed that Cedric's loud ranting was getting louder as he went on, scaring Princess Evolynn to hide behind her sister, Sofia.

"I'm Bailywick, the castle steward", the tall man who cleared his throat introduced. "It is my responsibility to make sure everything in the castle is where it should be, and you two should have been in the banquet hall, thirty seconds ago".

"Oh, right", Sofia blushed slightly. Because of the brief distractions one after the other, it effected her punctuality.

"Off you both go then", the steward ushered them.

Sofia quickly grabbed Evie's hand and rushed to where the remaining royal family sat by the large dinner table. Sofia sat beside the king on his left side. Amber was on her other side. Evie made her way over and sat beside Miranda on her right. She looked across at Sofia scooping up the forks and examining them. Looking down at her own platter, she noticed she too had quite a few sets of cutlery. Making a completely random guess, she picked up the fork on the outside and decided to use it.

"Sofia, Evolynn", King Roland addressed them suddenly. It caused both girls to jump, drop their fork(s) and let out a yell of surprise, although Evie's was more of a squeak than a yell. The reason why it scared them in the first place, was that it was really quiet with only the sound of clattering forks was heard.

"Yes, your majesty?", Sofia asked trying to hide her embarrassment of what just happened.

"Please, call me Roland or You with the crown! Or dad", Roland joked slightly. "It's a tradition to provide an official welcome to every new member of the Royal Family. For your mother, it was the wedding, but for you two, we will be throwing a Royal Ball in both your honour at the week's end".

"Brilliant!" James cheered with a mouthful of his dinner. Rather informal for a prince.

"James, manners", Bailywick scolded him.

"Sorry Bailywick", James apologised as he swallowed his food.

"A ball, for the two of us?" Sofia mesmerised. The very thought of it was unbelievable. She been to the annual Villagers Ball every year before, but this time it's a Royal Ball. So much sophistication in one room.

"Father, why didn't I get a ball?" Amber asked suddenly from across the table (from Evie). Her voice had a hint of hurt and whining in it.

"You did Amber", her father informed, "When you and your brother were born".

"You don't remember?", James sniggered to her. Why would she anyway? It was that long ago she shouldn't remember it that clearly. Maybe a few fragments of it but not much, usually.

"Sofia and Evolynn, this will be your royal debut", Roland continued explaining, "Both of you and myself, shall have the first waltz".

Evie shuddered. Her face going slightly paler than usual. A ball in her and Sofia's honour. What a great way to get attention, if you like it which she doesn't. She wouldn't handle that sort of pressure, plus she had to dance. Fair enough she's never danced before on any occasion. But maybe she'll end up having two left feet when it comes to dancing. She'd be the laughing stock of the kingdom for months.

"Oh Rollie your so sweet", She heard her mother gush. But she couldn't hear her exactly. Her hearing was starting to become milky, her vision started to blur and she felt dizzy. She could vaguely near Sofia call her name followed by her mother and Roland. Before she knew it she had fell off her chair. She could see her mother looking at her with worry as she held her in her lap. Then, everything went dark.

Opening her violet coloured eyes, Evolynn could only see a blur for everything. It was brightish so she had to squint slightly which didn't make it any better. Still lying down, she rubbed her eyes. Her vision got a whole lot better. She could see she was in a fancy looking room, sideways, mainly due to the fact that she was lying sideways. When she did manage to sit up she immediately regretted it. Her head started spinning again and vision was going. Suddenly, out of nowhere Miranda held her back up. She could vaguely see that she was talking to her but couldn't quite hear properly.

"Evolynn!"

That woke her ears back up. She looked into her mothers eyes. They were full of worry, concern and love.

"Are you alright darling", she asked her.

Exhaling loudly, Evie nodded and laid her head on Miranda's lap. The bliss was short lived when he heard something outside the door. Miranda shuffled and moved to get up and see what the commotion was. By now, Evie's head was clear so she decided to look at her surroundings more. The room was big and rich. She figured it must be her moms new room. Thinking back as to why she fainted, she couldn't remember exactly. Just that she was worrying over something. Maybe it was just no big deal and she was losing her head over nothing. Soon she spotted her mother and sister enter the room. They made their way to the couch where Evie was and sat down. Miranda placed herself in the middle with each girl at her side.

"What's the matter sweetheart?" She asked her now middle daughter.

"I don't want a Royal Ball!" She cried. Right, that was the reason why. Yeah definitely something worth fainting for.

"Oh Sofia, I've never know you to turn down a party. Especially one that's thrown in your honour", Miranda reasoned. "Can't say the same for your sister though", she added as she turned to her other daughter beside her. "No offence".

Point but no offence taken. Last time all eyes were on her at a party was at the school play. She was part of the clean up crew during the show. While trying to untangle some rope needed for later, someone thought it would be funny, or accidentally dropped the back curtain, revealing her to everyone. She literally froze in place, and well let's leave it there. Let's just say she'd rather never, and emphasise on the word 'NEVER' live that part of her life, again. First week at school and already making a fool of herself. What a great start.

"But I don't know anything about being a princess", Sofia whimpered as she took off the tiara on her head. "And I don't know how to dance. What if I trip and fall, and everyone laughs at me?" Sofia was close to tears. Pushing the thought of 'Gee, thanks for the horrible reminder', Evie reached across and held Sofia's pinkie finger for comfort. In return Sofia looked at her and smiled great-fully. Whenever Sofia took her out and about in the village to play, Evie would hold her sisters pinkie finger while walking. Many villagers found the scene cute. Their stares only made her more nervous despite meaning no harm.

"You'll both do just fine", their mother comforted, holding them close. "Besides, no one ever laughs at a princess".

"Says who?" Sofia dared. She didn't mean to sound rude or anything. She was just stressed is all.

"Come here the both of you", Miranda motioned and embraced both her daughters in loving mom hug. "Just try the best you can". She placed Sofia's tiara on her head once more, followed by a gentle kiss. She then reached over and took Evolynn's tiara off the light stand, and placed it on its owners head. "And if it's not good enough for all those stuffy dukes and duchesses, then that's their problem. Mmm-hmm?" Miranda hugged the pair even closer. The picture at that moment was so cute and touching, it'd make a grown man cry. Don't.

"Sofia, Evolynn", Roland greeted. He suddenly appeared in the room. Either he was away somewhere else for a bit, or he was in the room the whole time and didn't say anything. The first reason made more sense though. "I have something for the both of you. Consider them, a welcome gift". He offered them two necklaces, one each. For Sofia it was an amethyst coloured amulet. It was large, and shimmered in the light. It also went really well with her attire, plus it was her favourite colour, purple! For Evolynn the gem was a lot smaller, about an eighth of the size of Sofia's. It was an ivory coloured moon stone that had a rainbow shine in the light. Since it would look nearly invisible on Evie's clothes, there was colour added. There were a few beads on the top and bottom, along with some feathers and string on the bottom. Both jewels looked mesmerising and magical. Sofia gasped as both girls eyes widened.

"They're beautiful!" She awed.

"These are two very special. An amulet, and a moon stone pendant", Roland explained as he tied them to the respective new owners. "You both must promise to never take it off. That way, you'll never lose them". Both girls smiled at their new treasures. It certainly lightened up the stressful breakdown they were having not to long ago.

"We promise, right Evie?", Sofia swore as she turned to her sister for confirmation. Smiling back, Evie nodded, "Promise". It was simple and sweet, but still there. Unknown to everyone in that room, a certain older sister was spying on them. She saw the whole gift scenario and immediately grew jealous. Not wanting to stay any longer, she stormed off in a huff.

"Now, you two best be going to bed", Roland smiled. His point proven when Evie let out an adorable yawn, still tired from her nap. "The pair of you have princess school in the morning".

That woke her up again.

"Princess school?", Sofia asked.

"Royal Prep", Roland clarified. "Where all the Princes and Princesses of every kingdom go to learn their and our royal ways. That includes everything you both need to know for the royal ball, which I'm very much looking forward to". Great, even more to add on the rapidly expanding stress list.

"Us too", Sofia smiled. Obviously she didn't see Evie's face getting paler and paler by the second. She did notice, however when she heard her mom.

"Oh no you don't", she stated as she lightly patted the girls cheeks which were losing pigment, "Don't go making yourself have a panic breakdown missy". She tried to make it as light-felt as she could. Evie's exhaled loudly. She didn't know she was holding in her breath.

Miranda turned to her newlywed, "Maybe it'd be best that Evolynn stay here for tonight. She can sleep in her new room tomorrow night. For now, she just needs time to settle". Her voiced was full of love. Roland smiled sadly as he watched his youngest lean and fall asleep atop of Miranda. Poor thing was finding it hard to adapt quickly. He nodded.

"That's O.K. Mom. She can take all the time she needs", Sofia smiled in full support.

"Good night Sofia", Roland smiled and bent down for a good night hug, which Sofia happily obliged to.

"Good night", she said softly behind him.

"Everything's going to be just fine", Miranda comforted as she kissed her daughter on the head. She then looked down at her snoozing other daughter. "For both of you", she smiled. She began stroking Evie's hair, out of habit most likely.

"Good night mom", Sofia called as she pecked a kiss on her cheek. She bent down to do the same with her little sister. "You too Evolynn. Good night".

As Sofia exited the room. She was about to set off and try find her bedroom again. She got lost earlier. But before she set off, she managed to bump to Cedric, again.

"Oh, Sorry Mr. Ceedric", Sofia apologised. After seeing his pained face, she couldn't help but feel bad. She was up to his stomach in height, so running into him from the front, with a tiara, would obviously hurt at least a little. If not a lot.

"It's Cedric", he grunted. Half in annoyance and half in pain. "Why can't you just...". He would have went on. Believe me, he would have kept going for ages. Maybe. But he went quiet when she eyed Sofia's new jewellery. "Your Amulet!" He gasped.

Noticing what he was on about, Sofia smiled. "I know! Isn't it lovely? The king gave it to me. He gave Evoylnn, you know my sister, a moon stone pendant".

"Moon stone pendant?!" Cedric gasped again.

"Yep, well good night", Sofia skipped off in a random direction humming to herself. She'd get to her room, eventually.

Feeling daring, Cedric took a peek into the royal chambers. Sofia hadn't closed the door all the way so there was a tiny crack in the door to look through. (Cedric you peeping Tom *unamused*).

He eventually caught sight of the girl he was looking for. At her current position he could see the pendant clearly. His assumptions were correct. Quickly, he move his head from the doorway not wanting to cause any, suspicion.

"They have the Amulet of Avalor and the Moon Stone Pendant that once belonged to Queen Cassiopia!", he gasped in sheer disbelief. He then plastered an evil grin upon his features. "But not for long".

He marched himself to his workshop, lonely up in a tower. He went straight to the pedestal with the Big Book of Magical Objects of Lore. He flicked through the pages until he found what he was looking for. The two pieces of magical jewellery the two princesses had. Conveniently enough, they were back to back with each other.

"Oh, how could I have missed them?!" He snarled at himself. "After all these years they were both right under my nose. Now all I have to do is pry them from those princesses. Then will I finally have the power, not only to be able to take over the kingdom, but to have the power of the stars and night itself at my command!" He smiled sinisterly as he spun around his workshop laughing evilly. His pet, I mean assistant, raven Wormwood joined in with glee.

Hello again. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review what you think. Like it? Hate it? Please say so, I don't mind. I want to improve and make this story as interesting as I can, but still Sofia the First and child friendly.
