04x12 - Princess Jade

[bunniefuu]

SOFIA: I was a girl
in the village, doing all right

Then I became a princess overnight

Now I gotta figure out
how to do it right

So much to learn and see

Up in the castle with my new family

In a school that's just for royalty

A whole enchanted world
is waiting for me

I'm so excited to be

CHORUS: Sofia the first

SOFIA: I'm finding out
what being royal's all about

CHORUS: Sofia the first

SOFIA: Making my way
it's an adventure every day

CHORUS: Sofia
SOFIA: It's gonna be my time

CHORUS: Sofia

SOFIA: To show them all that I'm

ALL: Sofia the first

[SOFIA READING]

[BELL RINGS]

Class, I have an announcement.

Today is School Swap Day.

The day when a student
from the village school

and a student from Royal Prep
swap places.

Why would we do that?

So the village students can learn more
about you royals,

and you royals can learn more
about them.

Wait. Are you telling me,

one of my friends from my old school

is coming here for the whole day?

Yes, I am!

Jade? A-mazing!

Sofia! Can you believe I'm here?

We're back together again,
just like old times.

Since the two of you know each other,

Sofia, will you be Jade's guide

-for the day?
-Will I?

[BOTH CHANTING]
Like two birdies in a tree,

-[SNAPPING]
-two friends are the best to be.

One plus one
makes it twice as much fun!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Oh, my!

Well, enjoy your classes
this morning, Jade.

Then we'll all go
to Dunwiddie for lunch.

And, later, you can give
a presentation on all you've learned.

When the Dunwiddie students come here
for a Royal Ball.

-Brilliant!
-FLORA: Class is dismissed.

Sofia, if I'm gonna give
a presentation,

I better see everything at Royal Prep.

Then let's hurry.

There's so much to show you.

And that's our Enchanted Art room.

And this is the Hall of Royals.

Check this out, Sofia.

[IN ENGLISH ACCENT] I am Queen Jade.

I, Queen Jade the Just,

do hereby declare every Tuesday
to be Dazzleball Day.

Hear, hear!

[GRUFFLY] Surrender, dragon,
or Prince Jade the Brave

shall snuff out your flame
with yon dirty dishwater!

[GIGGLES] I miss going to school
with you, Jade.

I wish you could come
to Royal Prep with me every day.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Wouldn't that be great?

Me, Princess Jade the...

[GASPS] Unbelievable.

Jade the Unbelievable?

That doesn't sound quite right.

No, Jade, look!

You look just like the princess
in that old painting.

You could be sisters.

Who is she?

It says "Frederika Assemblia."

I think I had
a Great-Great-Aunt Frederika.

SOFIA: I'll bet you are related
to this princess!

Do you know what that means?

Ruby is gonna want my autograph?

If you're related to a princess,

then you could be a princess.

No way!

And if you are a princess,

then you can come with me
to Royal Prep every day!

I'm a princess!

School Swap is the best day ever!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I can't wait to tell everyone.

Ooh, ooh, wait. I have an idea.

Let's save it for lunch.

That way we can tell everyone
at the same time,

even our Dunwiddie friends.

Great idea.

So, ready to spend

our first official day together
at Royal Prep?

Yes, I am!

-But is Royal Prep ready for us?
-[BELL CLANGING]

By the way, which Royal do you think
went to the Dunwiddie School today?

I don't know,

but I'll bet they're having
just as much fun as we are.

It's School Swap Day, class.

So please give a big
Dunwiddie School welcome

to our royal guest, Princess Amber.

CLASS: Welcome, Princess Amber!

-[CLASS APPLAUDING]
-Ah! Yes, yes. I know.

I'm the biggest thing to hit
Dunwiddie Village since,

well, the last time I visited
Dunwiddie Village.

Where shall I sit?

Right here, Amber.
I will be your guide.

So if you need help, just ask.

Oh, thanks, Ruby,

but I'm a star student at Royal Prep,

and I doubt I'll need any help.

So, what class do we have first,

posture or tea-pouring?

We'll start today with science.

Everyone take out
your rock collections.

Rock collections?

Don't you have rocks at Royal Prep?

Oh! Yes.

I have rubies and diamonds
and sapphires...

Uh, these are a little different.

We're going to learn how to make
metal objects float in mid-air.

Oh, I know this.

We did it at Royal Prep.

Watch, she'll use a magic wand.

-[MAGNETIC BUZZ]
-CLASS: Ooh!

She didn't use a wand.

We don't do magic here.

This is science class.

Rocks that act like magnets
are called lodestones.

Now, let's see how fast
you can find your lodestone.

How about you, Amber?

Uh, okay, Ms. Candoo.

-[MAGNETIC BUZZ]
-RUBY: Done! Hey, Amber.

Found your lodestone yet?

Oh. I'll just watch.

Clearly, my rocks are broken.

-[MAGNETIC BUZZING]
-[GIGGLING]

Well, I'm sure the Dunwiddie student
who is visiting Royal Prep

is having just as much trouble there.

[CLANGING]

You know what, Jade?

Today's the best day
I've ever had at RPA.

-[BELL RINGING]
-Mine, too!

Of course,
it's my only day here so far.

[GIGGLES] Ready to go to Dunwiddie
for lunch?

I can't wait to announce our big news.

Race you!

[LAUGHING]

[STUDENTS APPLAUDING]

Welcome to all our dear friends
from Royal Prep.

And thank you, dear friends
at Dunwiddie, for hosting lunch.

Now, let's eat!

And drink!

[RUMBLING]

Hi, Sofia.

Hey, nice gown, Jade.
How's School Swap Day?

Greater than great!

I learned how to turn a lime
into an emerald.

And we raced in the flying derby.

And we made this gown
with a magic paintbrush!

Wow!

What did you learn about
at Dunwiddie, Amber?

-Rocks.
-Amber, that's not true.

You watched us learn about rocks,

you watched us learn history,

and you watched us learn
glass-blowing.

[WHISPERING] She's not trying
anything at all.

I'm starting to think you're afraid.

Afraid? Oh, please!

When I see something
I think I'll actually enjoy,

I'll try it. For example,

I'll now try some of that lemonade.

-Excuse me.
-But, Amber, wait!

You have to give a presentation
about what you learned later on!

[SIGHS] I don't think Amber's
enjoying School Swap Day very much.

She'll be okay.

Now, Jade, tell Ruby
what else you learned today.

You tell her, Sofia.

I still can't believe it.

What? Tell me what?

We're almost positive
Jade is related to royalty!

That means she can be a student
at Royal Prep full-time!

No way. That's amazing!

Isn't it? We're gonna make
an announcement

after everyone's done eating.

So, now I have two best friends
who are princesses?

Double amazing!

Oh, there's Ms. Candoo.

I haven't seen her in ages.

I'm going to say hello.

Jade, Royal Prep!

Oh, you're gonna have so much fun.

-I know.
-So, then,

you probably don't want
to eat with us, huh?

Not when you can sit
with your new classmates.

Oh. Uh, I don't know.

I didn't really think about that.

It's okay, Jade.

We'll sure miss seeing you
every day at school,

but everyone's gonna be really excited
for you.

Me included.

Thanks. I...

See you later,

Princess Jade.

[LEMONADE MAKER CLICKING]

But,

I'm going to miss seeing
all of them every day too.

Oh, no. Maybe leaving here
to go to Royal Prep

is a big mistake.

[DRUM ROLL AND FANFARE]

All right, everyone.

Let's welcome our guests...

The Dunwiddie way!

[SINGING] Go, Dunwiddie

Go, Dunwiddie

ALL: Hail the green and brown

Everyone cheer
for the school right here

In old Dunwiddie Town

Go, Dunwiddie

Oh, Dunwiddie

No matter how far we roam

We'll have friends till the end

From old Dunwiddie

Our school, our home

Hey!

Great song, Dunwiddie!

Here's how we say hello at RPA.

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

ALL: Huzzah, huzzah, for Royal Prep

For the red and green and blue

We're all for one

And one for all

At RPA, you'll hear our royal call

-Huzzah, huzzah
-Go, Dunwiddie

-For Royal Prep
-Oh Dunwiddie

-Yes we're loyal through and through
- No matter how far we roam

We rule on the field

And off it too

'Cause at Royal Prep
to our team we're true

-Dunwiddie!
- Huzzah!

-Yes, at Royal Prep
-Old Dunwiddie

-To our team we're true
-Our school our home

Go, Dunwiddie!

Huzzah!

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, Dunwiddie

No, Dunwiddie

How I'd miss this school

To leave behind these friends of mine

For a gown and jewels

Old Dunwiddie

Dear, Dunwiddie

I sure don't want to part

But I know if I stay

That would break

Sofia's heart

[SLOW PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[STUDENTS CHATTERING]

Ruby, I need your help.

-What's wrong?
-I don't think

I want to go to Royal Prep.

Are you kidding?

You'll learn magic and wear jewels

and spend all your time
with the royals and...

Yeah, but I'd rather spend time
with all my friends here.

I mean, the way
we all go down to the stream

to skip stones during recess.

What's better than that?

Okay. So don't go to Royal Prep
if you don't want to.

Just tell Sofia.

But she's really excited
about me going to her school.

I'm afraid I'll hurt her feelings.

She's your friend. She'll understand.

-But, what if she doesn't?
-SOFIA: Jade!

So I just had the best idea.

Sofia, Jade has something
to tell you, too.

What is it? Is something wrong?

Uh, no.

I mean, sort of.

You know
you can tell me anything, right?

And now that we're
going to school together,

we'll have even more
heart-to-heart talks.

So, what's the matter?

Well, I...

Um...

I'm really thirsty.

Can I have your lemonade?

Oh, sure.

[SLURPING]

Is that it?

Ah!

I bet you're nervous about all this.

I was when I was new to RPA.

But that's why the idea I just had
is so perfect.

I know we decided to announce
the news at lunch,

-but now I think we should wait.
-Yes!

And tell everyone
at tonight's Royal Ball!

What!

It was at my first ball that I really
started to feel like a princess.

So, I thought it could be
the same for you.

Oh, that's really not necessary.

Of course it is.

I'd do anything
to make you feel at home at RPA.

What are best friends for?

What can I say?

-You can say yes!
-Yes?

Yes! It's really happening!

All right, everyone, back to class.

I hope you enjoyed lunch
with everyone from RPA.

Now, are you ready
for our afternoon class?

Dancing? Royal waving?

Anything I'm good at.

-Architecture.
-Oh!

Yesterday, you all designed
a climb-nasium.

Today, you're going to build it.

Think you can handle this challenge?

CLASS: Can do, Ms. Candoo!

Wow. That is really loud.

Hey, Amber, want to help me
build my climb-nasium?

Oh, I'll just watch.

No. This time, you have to join us.

It's our last class of the day.

Oh. You know, I would,

but, uh, oh, I'm not wearing
my building dress.

Wear a smock.

Oh, darn!

I don't have
my tool belt thingy. [SIGHS]

Use mine.

Ruby, the truth is, I never learned
to build stuff at Royal Prep.

-So?
-So,

I can curtsey 28 different ways,

but I don't know anything
about rocks or blowing glass,

and I can't tell one end
of this hammer from the other.

-It's a wrench.
-Oh, see what I mean?

This place just isn't for me.

Look, I know it's different than
what you're used to at your school,

but what we do at Dunwiddie
is pretty great, too.

Why not just give it a try?

[HAMMERS POUNDING]

But what if I'm no good at it?

What if I make a mistake
and everyone laughs at me?

Or what if you're great at it?

What if, maybe, you even enjoy it?

Come on, Amber, try it.

If anyone laughs at you,

they'll have to answer to me.

Oh. Okay.

Hand me that screwdriver.

-Wrench.
-Wrench.

Right. I knew that.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[SQUEAKING]

Great work, Amber! We're done.

-[RIPS]
-Oh!

Oh, no, your gown!

We keep an extra dress here
for emergencies just like this.

Oh. Well, there's more to life
than fashion.

I cannot believe I just said that.

Anyway, I'll be right back.

FLORA: I welcome you all,

to the School Swap Day Royal Ball.

We'll have dancing and song

and also a short presentation

from each of our two school swapees.

But before we begin,

please take a moment to talk
to someone you don't know.

Because the thing about royals...

And villagers is...

BOTH: Together, you make up a kingdom!

Hello, we're coming over
to talk to you,

because we don't know you.

[EXCLAIMS] Hildegard, it's me.

Amber! What did they do to you
at that school?

They taught me this.

[GASPS] How are you doing that
without a wand?

I can do a lot more than that.

But you'll have to wait
for my presentation to see more.

So, I'll ask if I can make
our announcement

before the presentations.

Then, I'll introduce you
and open the curtain

and you'll pull off the sheet.

Everyone will see you look
just like the portrait,

and they'll realize you're royalty.

-Uh-huh.
-Uh, you seem distracted.

Are you still nervous?

Uh, no, no.

There's a stream back there.

It reminds me of the stream
by the Dunwiddie school

where we used to skip stones.

Remember?

We have stones at this stream, too.

Tomorrow I'll show you
where the magic ones are.

They just skip and skip forever.

Oh, great.

Jade, are you sure you're okay?

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Actually, Sofia,

this isn't easy for me, but...

-What's that?
-Just something I thought you'd like.

My own tiara?

It's just like the one I wore
at my first ball.

It's beautiful.

It's yours.

So you'll always know
I'm right here beside you.

I crown you,

Princess Jade.

So, what were you about to tell me?

I...

Nothing.

Don't worry, Jade.

You're going out there,
a village girl,

but you're coming back, a princess.

Miss Flora, may I make
an announcement?

Well, I guess it's all right.

Excuse me, everyone!

While Jade was here,

she and I made an amazing discovery.

We found a new princess!

And soon she'll be starting
at Royal Prep.

A new princess?

Why wasn't I notified?

Without further ado,
may I present, Princess...

Huh? Where is she?

I knew there couldn't be a princess
I've never heard of.

Um, you'll all meet her in a minute.

Right after...

Amber shows you what she learned
at Dunwiddie today.

My turn? Can do!

So, the first thing I learned
is how to make a wrench float

-without using a magic wand.
-[MAGNETIC BUZZ]

-Whoa! Impressive!
-Ooh!

You haven't seen anything yet.

Jade!

Jade!

[SIGHS] Where could she be?

Wait. I know.

[WATER SPLASHING]

SOFIA: Jade?

Oh, hey, Sofia.

You were right.

These stones do skip forever.

Why did you leave?

I... can't tell you.

Your feelings will get hurt.

Jade, they won't.

Okay.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I'm sorry, but I don't
want to go to Royal Prep.

-What!
-See?

I hurt your feelings.

I just don't understand.

Why not?

I had a great time
with you today, Sofia.

But if I came here,

I would miss all my friends
from the Dunwiddie School.

Oh. I didn't think of that.

Mm, I knew I shouldn't have told you.

Jade, wait a minute.

Okay, I am disappointed.

But only because I realized today

how much I missed
going to school with you.

But I want you to be happy.
I'm glad you told me.

You do? Phew!

'Cause it was hard!

I'm sorry if I made it hard
for you to tell me.

You know, it wasn't easy
when you went away to Royal Prep,

but I got used to it.

I just don't think
I could get used to being apart

from all my other friends now.

I understand.

You don't have to go to Royal Prep
if you don't want to.

I don't?

No. We'll just keep
that portrait a secret.

Oh, no, the portrait!

They all heard you announce
the new princess!

Any minute,
someone'll pull off that sheet

and see the portrait
looks just like me!

Not if we get there first.

So, here's what else I learned.

The bigger the stone,
the more magnetic it is.

Watch. A metal bowl.

-[MAGNETIC BUZZ]
-A metal serving tray.

And finally...

A suit of armor!

-Whoa!
-[MAGNETIC BUZZING]

Ooh!

Oh! It's the metal in my tool belt.

I'll just reach down and unfasten...

Oh! Whoa! No need to worry!

This kind of thing happens
when you try something new.

Hey, Sofia's back!

Oh... whoa.

So where is this new princess?

I'm sorry, everyone.

But there is no new princess.

Yeah, we made a mistake.

Oh, if I can just steady myself by...

[EXCLAIMS]

[GASPS] Oh, no!

Jade looks just like
that royal portrait.

They must be related.

-So, Jade is a...
-[GASPS]

Princess.

Jade is the new princess!

Oh, I feel faint.

Me, too.

Can someone get me down?

[GROANING]

-[CLICKS]
-Oh!

-I'm okay! Mostly.
-[STUDENTS APPLAUDING]

So Jade is coming to Royal Prep now?

Boom goes the cannon!

No, Jade won't be coming here.

Tell them, Jade. Tell them the truth.

[SIGHS]

Uh, the truth is,

I want to go to Dunwiddie,

because that's where my friends are.

Most of them.

Is that okay?

I'm sorry, Jade.

I'm afraid there's nothing to be done.

Yes. There is nothing to be done,

because you're not a princess.

She's not?

The lady in that portrait
is not royal.

She's Frederika Assemblia,

the original architect of Royal Prep.

She designed this whole school
many years ago.

That's why we keep her painting
in the Hall of Royals.

To honor her.

You know, Jade,

she learned to be an architect
at the Dunwiddie School.

So, I'm just regular old Jade
from Dunwiddie again?

[CHUCKLES] Yes, dear.

You are indeed.

Whoo-hoo!

[LAUGHS] Sorry!

I'm just really happy not to be royal.

Wait. What?

And we're really happy
to have you back at Dunwiddie.

Ooh, still a little dizzy.

You'll be okay, Amber.

We just need to get you
back into a royal gown.

It was fun to try something new,

but it's good to be home.

Well, Jade, there's one thing I know.

Wherever you go to school,
you will always be my friend.

And you will always be
my friend, Sofia.

[BOTH CHANTING]
Like two birdies in a tree,

two friends are the best to be.

One plus one
makes it twice as much fun!
