04x24 - The Royal School Fair

Post by 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]

[PIPES PLAY TONE]

[VOCALIZING] Mi may ma mo moo

[PIPES PLAY TONES]

Mi may ma mo moo

[PIPES PLAY TONES]

-What are you guys doing?
-Warming up our voices.

[SINGING] I'm so excited

To check out

[HARMONIZING]
The Performing Arts Academy

Wow, you guys sound great.

That must be the Institute
for Science and Alchemy tent.

Hi, Zandar.

[FIREWORKS WHISTLING]

And the Corinthian Sports School tent.

It all looks so fun.

And you know about the Wall,
don't you?

-The Wall?
-Oh, come on, I'll show you.

PRINCESS AMBER:
This is the Wall of Next Steps.

It's a time-honored tradition.

You write your school choice
on a tablet.

SOFIA: That sounds interesting.

Then you take your tablet
to the royal chiseler.

And then he carves your choice
of school in stone.

After that, your tablet
is magically put on the Wall,

and at noon, there's an unveiling,

and we get to show everyone
what schools we've picked.

Hmm, which tent should I go to first?

I know, come with me, Sofia.

Where are we going?

To my favorite tent, of course.

It's a school where you learn
to be in charge

and tell people what to do.

Hey, Desmond, are you lost?

The Science and Alchemy tent
is back that way.

Well, deep down,
I've always wanted to be a hero.

Wait, are you really interested
in becoming a knight?

-But maybe I should stick to books.
-Why?

Because I really
don't know the first thing

-about being a knight.
-It's a school!

They'll teach you
how to do everything.

Come on, let's go in together.

-Brilliant!
-MAN: Welcome!

As some of you may already know,
I am Sir Finnegan.

Now, as a former student
of Chivalry Hall,

they've asked me to show you
what this fine school is all about.

Allow me to demonstrate

the kinds of skills you'd be learning,

like how to toss a javelin! [GRUNTS]

PRINCE DESMOND: Whoa!
PRINCE JAMES: Amazing.

Now... [CHUCKLES]

Who'd like to give it a try?

[BOTH GRUNT]

Impressive form, my knights to be!

Wow, it's like they're already
real knights.

Want to give it a go, lad?

Don't worry, Des,
those two may be good,

but this isn't a competition.

Come on, what do you have to lose?

[GRUNTS]

Ah, not the best effort,

but if you want to get better at it,

Chivalry Hall is the school for you.

Here we are, Sofia,

the school you were meant to go to.

[SIGHS] Doesn't it just feel right?

All the greatest rulers
and their advisors went here...

Grandmum, Daddy...

Oh! And just think, if you go here,

you can become
my royal advisor one day.

Welcome to the finest tent
at the Royal School Fair.

At EverRealm Academy, you will learn

how to be future rulers and advisors,

just as I, King Habib,
did when I studied there.

To show you the kinds of things
you would learn at EverRealm,

we will start by making
a magical coat of arms

for your own personal kingdom!

But how do we know what to put
on our coat of arms, King Habib?

Ah, I'm so glad you asked.

Think about three symbols
you would want

to represent your own kingdom.

Only three? That's tough.

Indeed it is. As is ruling a kingdom.

Hmm, well, I'd want
my kingdom to have heart, so...

Wow, okay,
I also can't imagine a kingdom

without family and friends.

I see this in rubies,

diamonds and... pearls.

Perfect.

Very nice, Princess Sofia.

Oh, exceptional, Princess Amber.

See? Isn't this fun?

Ooh, can't you see yourself
going here?

It is fun, but I could see
myself at other schools, too.

PRINCESS AMBER: Oh, this is just
the tip of the royal iceberg.

Can you imagine if we both went here,

the two Enchancian princesses?

-[VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYING]
-Do you hear that?

I think it's coming from
the Performing Arts Academy tent.

Next up, my young royals,

how to throw a royal ball.

Sofia? Where are you going?

Don't you want to stay?

Uh, I just want to check this out.

I'll see you later, Amber.

[VIOLIN MUSIC CONTINUES]

[YELPS AND GASPS]

So this is where
everyone's been hiding.

[LAUGHS] Welcome, my darlings,

to the Performing Arts Academy tent!

Oh, I never would have been
as legendary as I am

if I hadn't gone
to this wonderful school.

So, grab an instrument.

Join in the music making!

Thank you, but I already know
what school I'm going to.

I'm just here to see a friend.

Clio, it's time to go visit
our school now,

the School of Royal Fashions.

Our top choice, remember?

Uh, Clio?

Ha-ha!

Magical music is just one
of the very-fun things

you will learn at our school.

[LILTING MUSIC PLAYS]

Ah, excellent, Princess Clio.

That was so fun.

-A-mazing.
-[WHOOPING]

I suppose, but I must be going
to my dream school now.

Clio, did you hear me?

-I'm leaving.
-Bye, Hildy, have fun!

Don't try to stop me.
I'm really going now.

[HUFFS]

Next, I will demonstrate
a dance you will learn

if you come
to the Performing Arts Academy,

the Tangu tango!

[GRUNTING]

Isn't this school the best?

We've got to go here, you guys.

Let's put all of our choices
down at the same time.

Oh, Sofia, are you going to join us?

[SIGHS] I don't know.
I do love performing.

But I also liked making
my coat of arms.

Jun! I'm going to see how she's doing.

I'll see you guys later.

Jun, you look confused.

Are you having trouble deciding?

'Cause I am, too.

No, I just can't get this pen to work.

Oh, there we go.

-You decided already?
-Yep, see?

I'm going to the Science
and Alchemy school. What about you?

I'm still not sure,
but that's great, Jun.

-I'm happy for you.
-Can I help you, Sofia?

They'll be unveiling the Wall soon.

No, that's okay, I better get going.

I need to pick something,
and I've got a lot of tents to visit.

Sofia, I've been looking
all over for you.

Have you decided what school
you're going to choose?

Well... not yet.

It sort of seems like everyone knows
where they want to go but me.

You've got to pick something.
Time is running out.

-Yeah.
-Come on.

You have to choose.

Uh... I'm still not sure.

There must be a tent
I haven't tried yet.

What about Chivalry Hall?

James and I are headed back there now.

Yes! I haven't been to that one yet.
Show me!

[HORSE WHINNIES]

So, what's this school
all about, guys?

Well, this is where we practice
our jousting skills.

Why don't you give it a try, Sof?

Jousting? Sounds fun.

Yah!

[GRUNTS]

[CROWD CHEERS]

-Way to go, Sofia!
-Yeah, Sofia!

[LAUGHS] Nicely done, Princess.
Have you jousted before?

Uh, no, not really.

Well, you could've fooled me.
Anyone else want to try?

I can't believe you were so good
at that on your first try.

How do you know you won't be
good at it, too?

I know I won't be that good.

The trick is to hold
the lance firmly, like this.

You see? Come on,
give it a try, boy-o!

-Yah? Whoa!
-[NEIGHS]

Oh, no!

Des, are you okay?

Mmm. Everyone's better than me
at this stuff,

even other kids
who never tried it before.

Who am I kidding?
I don't belong at Chivalry Hall.

Come on, Des.

[SIGHING] So much for being a hero.

Looks like it's
Science and Alchemy for me.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

What about you, Sof?

Is it gonna be Chivalry Hall for you?

Eh, it could be, I guess.

Sofia, what are you doing?

The Wall unveiling's
going to start soon.

Amber, I know,
it's just how can I choose

between magical music,
enchanted ice dancing, jousting?

Everyone has to decide.

If you don't, you may not have
a school to go to.

But it really seems unfair
to make us decide in one day.

Oh, Sofia, don't overthink it.

This is how it's been done for years.

Generations of royals can't be wrong.

[SINGING] So you're having
a hard time deciding what to do

It's a good thing I'm here to
help you see things through

The choice you need is clear
Anyone can see

You've got to go to
EverRealm Academy with me

[SIGHS] I don't know.

Come on, Sofia

All you've got to do is choose

Just pick a school, it's easy to do

Go on, Sofia, really
You've got nothing to lose

We all just want to know
what you're gonna do

Yes, we really want to know

Just what you're gonna do

If you're choosing the best school

Ours should be the one

We'll be singing and dancing

And having lots of fun

Those other schools are fine
but they don't do the trick

You know Performing Arts
is the one you should pick

Maybe.

[ALL EXCLAIM]

Come on, Sofia, all you've
got to do is choose

Just pick a school, it's easy to do

-Go on, Sofia, really
-Go on, Sofia

You've got nothing to lose

We all just want to know
what you're gonna do

Yes, we really want to know

Just what you're gonna do

I just cannot see
what school is right for me

Each one I pass looks like
it would be a blast

Don't know what choice to make

With all my dreams at stake

It's impossible
to pick a school so fast

It's going to be fine, Sof
Don't have to feel stressed

You've seen all the tents
so just decide

What you like the best

For once James is right
There's no need to stall

Just make a simple choice

And get your name on that Wall

But it's so permanent.

Come on, Sofia

All you've got to do is choose

Just pick a school, it's easy to do

Go on, Sofia, really
You've got nothing to lose

We all just want to know
what you're gonna do

Yes, we really want to know

Just what you're gonna do

What you're gonna do

What you're gonna do

-So? What's it gonna be, Sofia?
-[BELL TOLLING]

I... [GRUNTS] I just don't know, okay?

Hurry, children. The bell has rung.

The unveiling of the Wall
will be starting soon.

Oh, Sofia's going to miss out.

It would be wrong to pick for her.

But if I don't put something down,

she might not have a next school.

[SIGHS] Sorry, again, Zandar.

Des, you can't just give up
on your dream.

[SIGHS] I'm just facing facts.

Science and alchemy is my thing.

Being a hero is not.

Come on, it was only
a couple of demonstrations.

Yeah, if I can't even do those,

there's no way I'll make it
in knight school.

[SIGHS] Face it, James,
this is where I belong,

where I know what I'm doing
and nothing can go wrong.

Let's go, children,
hurry now, to the Wall.

Sofia, I have exciting news.

I know, I know, but I still
haven't picked a school.

Well, then you'll love this.

Because surprise!
I picked one for you.

-What?
-It's already at the Wall

waiting to be carved in stone.

Amber, how could you?

Uh, time was almost up,
and you had to put something down.

I figured since
you had to go somewhere,

the best place was with me.

But I like other schools, too.

Well, you have to pick one.
That's the rules.

That doesn't mean you get
to choose my school for me.

I need to fix this.

Sofia, wait!

[CRASH]

Is there anyone inside that armor?

Doesn't look like it.

Then how is it dueling?

The only thing
that could possibly cause that

-is a come-to-lifeium potion.
-A what?

It's a potion that makes
inanimate objects come to life.

Some must have spilled on the armor.

Sofia, look out!

Hold on, Sof, I'm coming!

I'll make a potion to stop it!

Oh, please, let me pass.

Look, Mr. Knight, there's a tablet

with my face on it
that I really need to find.

[YELPS] Oh, boy.

Here, take this!

[GRUNTING]

Here, pour this on the armor.

Thanks, guys, I owe you one.

Well done, lads.

Now that was quick thinking
on your part, Prince Desmond.

I didn't do anything.
James poured the potion.

Which you made.

I never would've stopped
that armor if it wasn't for you.

-You're a hero!
-But I'm not a knight.

No one ever said you had
to be a knight to be a hero.

That's right, you're a hero alchemist.

Indeed, and there is
a long tradition of alchemists

and knights working together
to save kingdoms.

Welcome to the finale
of the Royal School Fair,

the unveiling
of the Wall of Next Steps.

[FANFARE PLAYS]

I'm too late.

The curtain, if you will.

Oh, no!

MERRYWEATHER:
As you can see on our Wall,

each member of our graduating class

has chosen where they will go
after they leave Royal Prep.

So, children, come forward

and see what your fellow students

have chosen for their next schools.

Wow, Zooey, you're going to
the School for Adventure?

Well, where else would I go?

Oh, Chivalry Hall. Way to go, James!

Khalid, you're going to
the School of Royal Fashions?

Surprise!

[GASPS] EverRealm Academy!

Congratulations, Amber.

You're following
in your family's footsteps.

What about you, Hildy?

Oh, the School
for Royal Fashions, of course.

[SIGHS] It'll be weird going
to a different school than you, Hildy.

I know that you're mad at me, but...

Actually, Clio,
you made the right choice.

You were born to perform.
I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too, Hildy.

Sofia, you're going
to EverRealm Academy?

Amazing.

No, I'm not.

PRINCESS AMBER:
Sofia, what are you doing?

But it says so right there.

No, it doesn't.

It does so!

No, Amber, it doesn't.

I didn't choose that school.

[GRUNTING] I'm going to erase it.

[ALL GASP]

Children, well, what's going on here?

Sofia, what happened to the Wall?

I'm sorry, Miss Merryweather,

but the truth is
I like all the schools.

I don't want to pick just one.

I'm sure this is all
a big misunderstanding.

You had the most fun
with me at EverRealm.

Right, Sofia?

I had fun at all the schools today.

So? Which school do you want
to go to then?

Sofia, it's a simple question.

It's not simple at all.
That's the problem.

At first, I was really excited
about the fair,

but it's too big a decision.

I don't know what I want to do.

You know, I'm not really sure
what I want to do either.

-You're not?
-Not really.

I just put something down
so I wouldn't miss out.

Me too.

[SIGHS] I'm so glad
I'm not the only one.

It's too hard to decide in one day.

I wish we didn't have to pick.

Children, please, please.

This tradition exists for a reason.

There comes a time
in each of our lives

where we all must make a choice.

But that doesn't mean
your choice has to last forever.

Did you know that once upon a time

I wanted to be a tooth fairy?

-You did?
-That was my first choice.

But after a while,
I found a different path,

and perhaps so shall you.

Ladies?

In keeping with tradition,
you must all make a choice.

But if you're not sure,
you can always change your mind.

So, go forth and write

whatever school you wish on this wall.

And no matter what we choose,
it won't be forever?

Oh, nothing is, my dear.

Sofia, I hope you're not mad at me.

It's just we're all going off
in different directions,

and I didn't want that for you and me.

It's okay, Amber.
I know you were trying to help.

But how about next time asking

before making such a big
decision for someone else?

[CHUCKLES] Great idea.

So, which school are you picking?

Actually, Amber,

I think I'll be happy
with you at EverRealm.

For now.

Yes!

[LAUGHS] Well, I'm glad that's settled

because it's time to celebrate.

[ALL SINGING] Congratulations

Congratulations

Congratulations to us all

Congratulations

Congratulations

Congratulations

To us all
