Sofia's POV

I woke up this morning to see Clover sleeping next to me then I heard at knock on my door.

"Come in." I said politely the door bursts open to revel Violet and Baileywick

"Good morning Princess." Baileywick said as he drew back my curtains

"Good morning Baileywick." I said happily getting out of bed and walking over to my wardrobe

"Sofia you have school today then you have a dress fitting for your gown for your birthday ball tomorrow." Baileywick said as he left "Breakfast in 5 minutes as well princess."

"Ok bye Baileywick." I said as I faced my wardrobe

"Are you excited for your birthday Sofia?" Violet asked me

"I am how about you." I responded Violet seemed surprised by it

"I am happy for you Miss." she said with a kind smile

"What about the ball your excited for the ball?" I asked

"Well yes but I am not attending the ball I am going to be serving at the ball." Violet replied I was shocked

"Well when I speak to my dad today then you and the rest of the servents can have the day of and attend my ball with out all of you I wouldn't be who I am today." I said kindly Violet's smile made me smile to she seemed so happy

"Thank you miss, well what dress would you like to wear today?" She asked happily

"My usual purple dress please." I said then Violet walked into the wardrobe got my dress and put it on me she brushed my hair and put my tiara on and we walked side by side to the hall for breakfast

As we entered the hall everyone was sitting down waiting for breakfast

"Good morning everyone." I said happily walking up to my chair James got out of his chair and pulled mine out for me and pushed it back in again

"Thank you James." I said

"So why are you so happy Sofia?" Amber said

"Oh only that I'm so excited for tomorrow." I said with a smile on my face

"That's right it will be your 9th Birthday tomorrow." James said I just smiled that he remembered

"Wait it is?" Amber asked shocked

"Amber did you forget your own sisters birthday?" My dad (King Rowland II) Asked puzzled

"I'm sorry Sofia I didn't mean to forget." Amber said as she hung her head

"No worries Amber you have never witnessed my birthday since I'm new to the family." I said being my usual forgiving self.

Just then breakfast came out we ate it quickly I went to my room grabbed my school bag and ran outside saying a quick goodbye to mum and dad and off to school.

TIME SKIP/ BREAK TIME AT ROYAL PREP ACADMY

"Sofia I can't wait for your birthday ball tomorrow." Vivian said to me

"I know my dad is going all out I don't know why maybe my mum said something to him about it because I always wanted a ball for my birthday." I said in excitement then I felt someone place their hands over my eyes

"Guess who?" The person asked I knew who it was when he spoke

"James what are you doing?" I asked laughing he took his hands of my eyes and I turned around to see him holding a single rose

"Consider it a an early birthday gift." He said handing me the rose I took it and just smiled my friends giggled behind me

"Thank you James I love it." I said curtsying to him he bowed back and left with his friends

"Aww James gave you a rose a day early that is so sweet." Vivian gushed

"Yeah he is a really sweet brother." I said holding the rose close to my heart

"Oh Sofia can't you see what this means." Clio cheered with excitement

"That he knows I love roses." I said in confusion

"No sweetheart it means James has a crush on you." Hildegard said all I could do is blush and think about what it be like to have the boy I have been dreaming about for so long as my boyfriend...

*FLASHBACK*

This is 2 years before I moved into the castle. I was hanging out with Jade and Ruby at my place

"Ok Jade and Ruby if you could date any one who would it be?" I asked

"Um Jacob from school he is cute." Jade said with a sigh

"No I would date his twin Rupert he is the cute one." Ruby responded giggled at their answers

"So why don't you just ask them." I said

"I don't know a fear of getting rejected I guess come on Sofia who do you love." Ruby said smirking

"Well your going to think this is completely silly if I told you." I said nervously

"SOFIA TELL US PLEASE!" They both yelled in unison

"Fine it is Prince James I know he is everyone's crush but I deeply love him he is cute and apparently super sweet just like his dad." I said with a blush creeping on to my face

"Ok I didn't see that coming but Queen Sofia has a nice ring to it." Jade said

"Yeah right Jade like I have a chance of marring the prince." I said with a disappointed look upon my face

"Well if you believe Sofia then anything can come true." My mum said walking up behind me

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"SOFIA ARE YOU OK?" Amber yelled

"Hmmm yes I am fine ." I said with a dopey grin on my face

"So what were you thinking about?" Vivian asked me

"Oh nothing oh hear that it's the bell we better get to next class." I said running of still holding onto my rose close to my heart.

"Yep she loves him." Clio said walking to class with the girls

TIME SKIP/ THE TAILOR'S GOWN STUDIO

My gown was bright pink with light pink pearls and gold studs over it fit perfectly I came out of the dressing rom wearing matching pink shoes and twirled in the mirror I was shocked to be facing my mum

"Mum what do you think?" I asked my mum came near me twirled me to be facing the mirror and said " Your going to be the most beautiful girl at the ball I have a present for you."I gasped as she handed me the pretty pink box I opened it and it hade a tiara that matched my gown

"Oh mum it is lovely." I said placing it on my head then my mum walked over to my dressing room and found the rose from James

"Sofia why do you have a rose in your bag?" My mum asked staring at me with a sly grin

"Oh it is an early birthday gift from James he gave it to me at school." I said

"Oh really that was sweet of him." My mum said handing me my rose

"I know the other princesses think that he loves me I know that he loves me as a sibling but not anything else." I said

"Well we both know that you used to don't we Sofia?" My mum teased

"Mum that was years ago even if I did have a crush on my brother we couldn't date it is against the law." I explained

"Come on why don't you get changed out of your gown take it to your room and lay it out for tomorrow night then come down for dinner ok." My mum said happily

"OK I love you mum." I said walking into the changing room

"Love you to Sofia." My mum said walking out of the Studio she bumped into Amber on the way out

"Sofia." Amber called out

"Yes Amber." I said walking out the changing room

"So lets see the dress." She said excitedly

"Um no you have to wait like James and Dad." I said teasingly

"Please Sofia can you at least tell me the colour." Amber pleaded

"Fine it is bright pink." I said picking everything up and leaving the studio

I walked up to my room laid my dress out for tomorrow and rang the bell signalling my maid. Quickly Violet came in asking what I needed

"Violet can I have a vase filled wit water on my desk please?" I asked politely

"Of course Princess Sofia is that all." Violet replied

"Yes thank you." I said a few minutes later she came back with my favourite purple vase with a rose pattern up the side half filled with water and gently placed it on my desk she bowed and left

I ran up to my desk with my rose in my hand and placed the rose in the vase I looked up in the mirror to see a familiar face peeking outside the door

"I see you James you can come in." I called out

James walked up to me and stood next to looking in the mirror

"I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Amber the day I saw you, Uh oh looks like someone isn't the fairest in the land anymore, And what that means is you outshine amber my sweet sister." James said with a Blush on his face.

"Aww that is sweet but you didn't have to come to my room to tell me that." I said giggling

"I know I actually came to your room to ask you if I could escourt you to dinner." James said looking away from me

"I would love that James." I said facing him

James bowed and extended his arm I gleefully took it and we walked out of the room closing the door behind us

We entered the hall only mum and dad were there obviously Amber is still finding the correct tiara to were to dinner James pulled out my chair then pushed it back in again after I sat down then he went and sat down.

"So what has happed today?" My dad asked us

"I tried on my gown for my birthday ball." I said "It is gorgeous I can't wait to show it to my friends tomorrow."

Finally Amber came down she looked very sad I wonder why

"Are you ok Amber?" I asked

"Um Yes Sofia I'm fine." Amber said then food came out it was delicious

"So James what did you do today?" My mum asked even though she already knew

"I gave Sofia an early birthday present." James said a little embarrassed

"Oh what was that?" My dad said staring at his son

"A single rose I know it is one of Sofia's favourite flowers." James spoke nervously and looked away from me

"Aww that is sweet." My mum said we finished dinner and Amber immediately stood up and left I thanked the chiefs for the meal and I went to follow her and James followed me but he waited outside ambers bedroom

"Amber what is wrong with you? I asked

"I overheard Hugo talking to some other princes and they are out to destroy your party because you beat him for the second time at the derby try outs." Amber said bursting out in tears.

"Oh Amber you know Hugo is all talk and no action he won't mess this up you won't let him." I said comfortingly

James over heard making this hard on him and wanting revenge on Hugo if he ever messed up the party.

James POV

Sofia left ambers room and went to bed she said good night to me and then went to bed she is super excited for her birthday I hope she likes the present I got her it is a flower pendant that has brother and friends forever engraved into it but I shortened it to BAFF. I made myself one that hade Sister and friends forever engraved but it is shortened to SAFF.

"Um Amber can I ask you something?" I asked nervously

"Well I'm always here to talk to little brother." amber said

"Well do you think it would be wrong if.." I started but Amber finished

"You asked Sofia to date you and my answer is do you really love Sofia and I mean more then a sister." Amber answered I was amazed at how she knew that

"How did you know I love Sofia?" I asked curiously

"James you can barley hold your emotions together at the best of times it is completely obvious that you love Sofia I'm shocked she hasn't noticed." Amber said smiling

"Any way what do you think?" I asked her nervously

"Well I personally agree with it but I am not sure on mum and dad agreeing though." She responded

"Ok well good night Amber see you tomorrow." I said leaving her room and walking to mine.
