04x23 - A Royal Wedding

[bunniefuu]

SOFIA: I was the 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]

BAILEYWICK: We need more flowers
for the flower sculptures.

More chocolate
for the chocolate waterfall.

Oh, I love weddings!

I don't.
Having to greet all those people?

How am I supposed to remember
everyone's name

and where they're from?

Don't worry, James,
you're going to do great!

I'll help you practice.

Okay.

How will you greet
the King of the Kobolds?

Uh...

Uh, I'll bow and move my arms
like they're ocean waves!

No, James, that's how you greet
the Queen of the mermaids.

You greet Kobalds with their
traditional foot stomp, remember?

Oh! Whatever you do,
don't touch their hair.

Kobalds really don't like that.

Why did Aunt Tilly have to invite

so many different creatures
to her wedding, anyway?

Uh, because she's Aunt Tilly?

And why is it my job to greet them?

Because, James,
you're going to be king one day,

and that's one of your duties
as heir to the throne.

Oh, right.

Well, I guess doing
all this boring stuff

will be worth it once I'm king.

Come on, James,
it's Aunt Tilly's wedding.

It's going to be fun.

AUNT TILLY: Incoming!

-Aunt Tilly?
-Do you have wings?

That's a very observant observation
you observed,

and the answer is yes!

But, I can make them
come and go as I please.

Flutterous terminus!

Flutterous featherus!

That's incredible!

Isn't it?
This is a Whenever Wings wand,

and I've been testing it out
all morning

for a little surprise I planned.

Flutterous terminus!

Sir Bartleby and I want to make sure
our wedding is memorable.

I'm sure it will be.

Your Majesties, it is time
for the royals to gather

for the official wedding portrait.

Right this way, please.

Sofia, since you were the one

who brought Sir Bartleby
and me together,

I was hoping you would be
my maid of honor today.

Of course, Aunt Tilly!

I'd be, well, honored.

Whiz-bang, here's your first
maid-of-honor assignment.

Hold on to my Whenever Wings wand
until the ceremony,

then when I give you the signal,

I'll need you to... [INAUDIBLE]

Oh! That will be fun.

BAILEYWICK: Grand-queen,
please stand next to the bride,

flanked by the king and queen.

Children, you're up front,

heir to the throne in the center.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

That's all wrong.

Amber, you stand in the middle.

But, Mother, the middle spot
is for the future king.

No, I'm afraid not!

You two need to switch.

James is not next in line
to the throne,

Amber is.

I am?

-She is?
-Wait, what?

I thought James was going to be king.

So did I. So did everyone.

Don't worry, children,
we'll get this all straightened out.

Mother, I'm afraid you are mistaken.

The firstborn son inherits the throne,

like I did.

Oh, but Roland, dear,
that is not how the law is written.

Mom is right.

It's the firstborn child
who gets to rule.

Indeed. Amber and James may be twins,

but Amber is seven minutes older.

Making her the future queen!

I just can't believe any of this!

Oh, then I'll show you. Follow me.

[GIGGLING] Oh!

Let me see.

Here we are.

"Heir to the throne.

"Rulership of the kingdom

"shall be passed down
from generation to generation."

"From firstborn child
to firstborn child!"

That... That's me! I was born first.

Yeah, we know that.

But how can this be?

If that's the law,

then Tilly would've been offered
the throne instead of me.

Well, truth be told, I was.

-ALL: You were?
-That's right.

Many years ago,
I was offered the crown,

but I couldn't accept it.

I knew I wanted to be an adventurer,

and that my baby brother
would make a much better king.

But, why didn't anyone ever tell me?

Because we knew that being king

was all you ever wanted.

And your father and I knew

that it was all you could ever do.

I guess that's true.

And we knew you'd be great at it.

Maybe being king is all I ever wanted!

Did anyone ever think of that?

I'm so very sorry, son,

but the law is the law.

James,

you don't even like doing
most of the things a king has to do.

You said it's boring!

And you think you're going to be
a good queen?

You've always been more worried about
how you look in your tiara

than how the people
in the kingdom are doing!

Well,

I'm not like that anymore.

James, I understand
this is difficult to hear...

No, you don't understand, Dad.

You got to be king!

PRINCE JAMES: "Not how the law
is written!"

Well, this is what I think
of that law.

[GRUNTS]

-Take that, law!
-SOFIA: James?

Are you okay?

Sofia, I just went
from being the future king

to the future nothing.

So, no. I'm not feeling so great.

I'm so sorry.

I can't imagine how that must feel.

I spent my whole life
thinking I'd grow up

to protect our kingdom from bad guys.

All that great king stuff.

Well, that's not all a king does.

Now I'll never get
to protect the kingdom.

Maybe you can just find
another way to do that

without being king.

Yeah, maybe I can.

That's the spirit!

I'll go work on that right now.

Okay. Good luck.

Oh, that was way easier
than I thought it would be.

Sofia is right.

I can protect the kingdom

by making sure Enchancia doesn't get

a selfish, self-centered queen
like Amber.

Now, Princess Amber,

as heir to the throne, you have lots
of important wedding duties.

Greeting the guests,
presenting the cake.

And holding on to Sir Bartleby's
wedding ring for safekeeping.

It's one of a kind,
just like Sir Bartleby.

I need you to keep it safe
until it's time for me

to give it to him
at the wedding ceremony.

Oh, I'll guard this
with all of my future queen abilities.

I never thought this day would come,

but now that it has,

it just feels so right.

[SINGING] I've always loved

Being a princess

The gowns, the balls

The jewels galore

But I started to wonder

What else life has in store

And now I see

There's something more

I will be queen

That's the path for me

I've always known deep down

That it was meant to be

Enchancia's queen

It is clear to see

That I was born to rule

Yes, it was meant to be

I have so much

I know I could offer

I'll help the folks

Across our land

And I can't wait to tell them

Everything I've planned

The future will be

So great and grand

I will be queen

That's the path for me

I've always known deep down

That it was meant to be

Enchancia's queen

It is clear to see

That I was born to rule

Yes, it was meant to be

I'm the one who was supposed to

End up on the throne

Supposed to run this land

And make the rules all on my own

If I show them all

That Amber is nothing but a fool

They have got to see

I'm far more fit to rule

-I will be queen
-I will be king

BOTH: That's the path for me

I've always known deep down

That it was meant to be

-Enchancia's queen
-Enchancia's king

BOTH: It is clear to see

That I was born to rule

Yes, it was meant to be

Meant to be

Yes, it was meant to be

Now remember, Princess Amber,

it's the heir to the throne's job

to greet wedding guests
in the custom of their own land.

Yes, Baileywick.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[LAUGHS] I've been practicing these
for weeks.

They're really hard,
and there's no way

Amber will know them all.

Introducing the King and Queen
of Trufflandia.

BOTH: Bonjour, Monsieur!
Faisons la fete!

Okay, she made a lucky guess.

Sooner or later,
her luck will run out.

Royals from Freezenberg?

Their Majesties,

the King and Princess of Freezenberg.

Too easy.

Mermaids?

BAILEYWICK: Her Royal Highness
of Merroway Cove,

Queen Emmaline.

Nah, she already knows that one.

What are you doing?

Making sure everyone sees
that Amber doesn't deserve

to be the heir to the throne.

James, you can't do that.

Oh, yeah? Watch me.

Gnomes? Hmm.

I could never remember their greeting.

Perfect!

Uh, please follow me, King, uh...

King Viridian.

Hm, yes, I knew that.

You get a front-of-the-line pass.

Follow me, sir.

I really don't think
this is a good idea.

You're right, Sofia.

I need to raise the bar
and stump Amber with some centaurs.

Follow me, folks,
and you, too, giants.

I didn't even know giants had royals.

Princess Amber,

these nice folks would like
to receive their royal greeting.

Good luck.

King Viridian of the Gnomes,

please accept my warmest welcome.

[YODELING]

[SPEAKING GAELIC]

[LAUGHS]

[SPEAKING GAELIC]

Hail, hail! My heart is open to you.

[IN RASPY VOICE] And mine to you.

What? How did she know?

Come on, James, you know she aced
Majestic Formalities at Royal Prep.

But that was
the most boring class ever!

Not for Amber.

She really loves that boring stuff,

and it's part of being king or queen.

Well, if I was king,
I could've learned to like it,

but I guess that's
never gonna happen now.

Princess Amber,
you are doing a fantastic job

representing the royals.

Thank you, Aunt Tilly.

I've greeted all the guests,
presented the cake,

and I still have your ring
safe and sound.

Whiz-bang! Amber,
you are going to make a great queen.

[SIGHING GRIMLY] I am so sick
of hearing people say that.

Sofia! There you are.

I have another important task
for my maid of honor.

Sure, Aunt Tilly.

It's almost time
for the wedding ceremony.

When I give the signal,
I'd like you to release

this flock of beautiful wedding...

Doves? Oh, I love doves.

Not doves, dear.
Doves are so ordinary.

We're releasing

flying fish!

Oh.

Fish.

That's a little unexpected.

This could be my chance
to show everyone

there's no way Amber could make
a good queen.

Sofia, I'll need you to keep
a close eye on these critters.

Keep them safe in their little home,

and when I give the signal,
let them soar into the sky!

Got it.

That sounds like a perfect job
for the heir to the throne.

What are you talking about, James?

Aunt Tilly asked Sofia to do it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So, you don't think you can handle it?

Of course I can handle it.

[SCOFFS]

I would be honored to take care
of your fish, Aunt Tilly.

That's fine with me.

Okay. Then I'm sure
their fins are in good hands.

Duchess Tilly? May I have a moment?

Ooh! It's almost time.

Meet us by the ceremony tent
in a few minutes.

I'm glad to see you've come around
to the idea of Amber being queen.

Oh, yeah, I'm over that.

Hey, isn't that your wombeast friend?

[SOFIA GASPS] It is!

Hi, Wilbur.

Uh-oh. Amber, your tiara is crooked.

Oh! Dear.

Hi, little guys?

Who wants to get out early?

[GASPS] You all do?

Okay.

Amber, the fish!

Oh, no!

Pardon me!

I'm terribly sorry.

Come back, fish!

As your future queen,
I command you to...

-[GASPS]
-Oh, no!

[YELPING] Oh, my hair!

Princess Amber,
the King of the Kobalds!

You touched his hair!

Oh, Your Majesty,

I'm so, so sorry.

I'll help fix it once I get this fish.

Wow, Princess Amber
sure messed that up.

Prince James to the rescue!

[AMBER STRAINING]

Careful, Amber,
you might get your dress dirty.

Oh, it doesn't matter.
I'm doing this for Aunt Tilly!

Oh! Gotcha!

Wow, Amber doesn't care
if her dress gets dirty?

That's right.

She's not the pampered princess
she used to be.

Is that all of them?

No, I see more!

Here, little fishies.

[GASPS] The wedding ring!

No!

[SIGHS] It's gone.

Oh, this is a disaster!

I didn't mean for that to happen.

The day started off so well,

but then I messed everything up.

I let Aunt Tilly's fish get out,

and I touched the Kobald king's hair!

And then Aunt Tilly's ring.

I lost it.

You're being too hard
on yourself, Amber.

Yeah, I mean,
this may not be all your fault.

Of course it is.

Look at all the damage I caused

in just a few hours
as heir to the throne.

I'd probably destroy the whole kingdom

if I ever became queen,
which is why...

[SIGHING SADLY] I won't!

I'm not the right person
to rule Enchancia.

-What are you saying?
-He is.

-[STUTTERS] You don't mean...
-I do.

If Aunt Tilly gave up the throne,

so can I.

James can be king.

From now on,

you're heir to the throne.

I quit.

Amber, wait.

Young royals,
you're needed right away.

The ceremony is about to begin.

Might as well tell everyone the news,

and tell Aunt Tilly

that I've lost her special ring.

Aren't you coming?

You need to take over
the heir-to-the-throne duties.

I guess.

James, what's wrong?

You're going to be king.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I thought so,

-but now...
-What is it?

I have to tell you something, Sofia.

I'm the reason
Amber messed things up. [SIGHS]

I let the flying fish
out of their home.

James, how could you?

I know,

I don't deserve to be king,

and Amber does deserve to be queen.

You have to tell her.

You have to make things right.

But even if I tell her,

I've still lost Aunt Tilly's ring.

[FISH FUSSING]

-[GASPS] There it is!
-Let's get it!

You still have that magic
wing-giving thingy, right?

The Whenever Wings wand? Yes.

-Brilliant!
-Wait, James,

-Tilly said not to use it.
-Flutterous featherus!

Flutterous featherus!

What are you doing?

Trying to give the ring wings
so it'll fly up out of the water.

Flutterous featherus!

Ah! But it won't stay still!

Flutterous featherus!

[PANTS] Don't worry, I'll get it.

Or you might hit something else!

-I think you should stop...
-PRINCE JAMES: I did it!

Flutterous terminus.

BAILEYWICK: Children, please,
the ceremony.

We've got to get this to Amber.

Before she tells everyone
she won't be queen.

PRINCE JAMES: Let's go.

PRINCE JAMES: Amber, no!

PRINCE JAMES: Amber, no!

[PANTING] We have the ring.

You do?

And you're still
the heir to the throne.

I am?

[GROWLING]

[GASPS] Oh, no!

What in the kingdom is that?

[GASPS] It's a kondraki.

Wait, kondrakis don't have wings.

Well, this one does.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Everyone, take cover under the tables!

[CENTAUR YELLING IN GAELIC]

Where did that thing come from?

James, I think you gave
that kondraki wings

with the Whenever Wings wand.

I know, Sofia.
We've got to change it back.

Flutterous terminus.

Flutterous terminus!

Oh, he's too far away
and moving too fast.

-What do we do?
-We need a plan.

Don't look at me.

I was a disaster as the future leader.

You weren't a disaster, Amber.

You were great.

Oh, what are you talking about?

I messed everything up.

[SIGHS] Only because
I set the fish loose

and did everything else
I could think of

to make things harder for you.

You what?

I'm really, really sorry, Amber.

I thought you shouldn't be queen,

but now I see you're great at it.

You even like doing the boring stuff.

So, I didn't really mess things up?

No, you were amazing.

Thank you, Sofia.

Okay, people, we have
a kondraki to stop

and a wedding to save.

Sofia, I need you to find
Aunt Tilly and Sir Bartleby

-and make sure they're all right.
-Okay.

I'll help keep
the wedding guests safe.

And James...

-Uh...
-I know what he can do.

-[INAUDIBLE]
-Oh! Yes!

[SIGHS] James,

we could really use
your knight skills.

Got it!

Are you two okay?

Oh, we're fine, Sofia,

but I don't remember inviting
a kondraki.

SOFIA: What does he even want?

Cake! Cake!

Cake? He's just after some cake?

Most kondrakis do have a sweet tooth.

I've got to tell Amber.

[SPEAKING GAELIC]

SOFIA: Amber! Amber!

The kondraki,

I think it's after the wedding cake.

Guards, go protect the cake.

KONDRAKI: Cake! Cake!

Guards! Cut a slice of cake,

and we can use some to lure him away.

Oh, but just one piece because,

dessert is really
for the invited guests.

James, see if you can get him
to follow you away from the wedding.

Hey, kondraki,

you want cake?

I got cake for ya!

I can't get his attention.

I need to get closer.

Flutterous featherus.

Whoa, brilliant!

Go get him, James.

Yoo-hoo, you want some cake?

Follow me!

PRINCESS AMBER: Go, James, go!

It's all yours, kondraki!

Flutterous terminus!

You did it, Sofia!

We all did it.

Flutterous terminus.

KING ROLAND II: Sofia, James,

that was fantastic!

You were braver
than the bravest knight!

You protected us all.

James, you said you wanted
to protect the kingdom

without doing any of
the boring king stuff.

Why don't you be a knight?

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Actually, I think that's all
I've ever really wanted to be!

Enchancia will be lucky
to have such a brave defender.

In fact,

my first act as queen

is to declare you
First Knight of the Realm!

That's very sweet,

but, Amber,
I'm afraid you cannot do that.

Not until you are officially queen.

Oh.

Well, then when I become queen,

it will be my first act.

Um, guys?

As Tilly's maid of honor,
I should probably remind you

we need to make sure
she gets married today.

-That's true.
-Whoops.

And do you, Duchess Matilda,

take Sir Bartleby to be your husband?

I do.

BAILEYWICK: Then,
by the power vested in me

by King Roland of Enchancia,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Or as we like to call you,

adventurer and knight.

Huzzah, Tilly.

[CRIES SOFTLY]

-And I said I wouldn't cry.
-Yay!

-[INAUDIBLE]
-Now? Uh, okay!

Flutterous featherus.

Flutterous featherus.

[CROWD GASPING]

[CROWD CLAPPING]

Flutterous featherus.

Flutterous featherus.

Flutterous featherus!
