A few weeks later, Sofia had finished up her shrinking project at school but was in Cedric's old workshop feeling very unhappy. She heard a knock on the door, before closing her book.

"Come in..."

The door opened, to reveal her mother entering the room with a cup of peppermint tea. "Sofia? Ah, there you are! Is everything okay?"

"Not really, mom... I kinda learned the truth about Ms. Cordelia's hair problem after her sorceress ball..."

Miranda sat down, seeing how upset her youngest daughter was, knowing her husband told her about the incident. "Oh... How much did you see..."

The Queen didn't get a chance to finish her sentence, as Sofia gets up from her seat. "Everything! I saw everything... Mr. Cedric's life was never the same again after that day... Everyone in the kingdom; his sister, his father, my father... From that day on, they all thought of him as... Cedric the Bungler!... And you know what the worst part is? It wasn't even his fault!..."

That last part got her mother confused. "What do you mean?"

"You saw how well Amber and James performed the same smoke spell the other day, it was the same one that Mr. Cedric had performed that day as a kid! Just like my siblings, our sorcerer was able to do it perfectly the first time he tried it! There was no way he could've messed it up!"

At that moment, Cordelia and Calista entered the room. The conjurer's eyes softened, her anger had disappeared ever since her brother was trapped in the amulet.

"Well, if Ceddy didn't cause it, then how did it happen?"

Sofia sat back in her seat, knowing it wouldn't matter to all those people who laughed at her mentor. "I don't think it matters Ms. Cordeila! Everyone else will still think that it's his fault! That fateful day has haunted him his entire life, just as it has haunted your mother, Calista! No one could ever fix her hair, you know... Not even their father!... Plus, James mentioned the smoke was purple, not white! So something must have gone wrong, but Cedric wasn't to blame!"

Calista and Miranda looked down sadly, knowing how terrible that must be now! "Poor Uncle Ceddy..."

"I'm sorry, honey... That must have hurt!..."

"I wish there was a way to find out how the spell went wrong and prove Mr. Cedric didn't do it...!"

Calista frowns for a moment before her eyes brightened up. "There is!..."

The girl grabbed Sofia by the arm, pulling the Princess to her room! "Whoa there!"

The four girls entered Cailsta's room that she was staying in while her actual room was under construction work. "It's my Looking Back Glass! Mummy gave it to me for my birthday!"

Miranda smiled at the mirror, before turning to Cordelia. "What does it do?"

"Well, for starters, it can show you things that happened a long, long time ago!"

"Like your sorceress ball!"

Calista nodded before she lets Sofia do this herself! "Show me that sorceress ball again! Entabo Reflecto!"

In a second, Sofia found herself back in past, right before Cedric cast his smoke spell and Cordelia was hugging her brother.

"This is marvellous! Cedric, you're a genius!"

Sofia eyed the smoke serum jar that young Cedric is holding in his hand. "The magic smoke serum is purple... But, it doesn't stay that way! Okay, Cedric's putting it down...

"Alright, I'm ready, I think..." Young Cordelia bumped into the drawers that the smoke serum jar was on. "Oops!... Still a little nervous!..."

Sofia watched as Cordelia's fancy hair potion spilled the remaining of it into Cedric's smoke jar, much to Sofia's horror!

"Outo Reflecto!"

Both Roland and her siblings were waiting in Calista's room with her, Cordelia, and her mother, when Sofia popped out of the mirror! "Sofia!"

"Dad, I need to talk to you, now!"

"What's wrong? Did you find out anything?"

"Yes! Mr. Cedric didn't really cause the incident!"

Roland looked confused at that as much as Cordelia is. "Wait a minute, he didn't?"

Sofia's amulet glows brightly as to say that Cedric was responding with joy. "I didn't?"

"No! There's something you all need to see! Show us right before Mr. Cedric cast his magic smoke spell!"

As the mirror glows, Cordelia rolls her eyes at seeing herself getting humiliated another time. "I'd rather not watch myself get humiliated again-- Ooh, look how beautiful my hair was!"

"Alright! I'm ready, I think..."

As past Cordelia and Cedric get ready, Sofia points to the mirror. "Watch the Smoke Serum carefully!"

Both Roland and Cordelia watched as the younger girl bumped into the drawers! "Oops! Still a little nervous..."

James saw the remaining contents of Cordelia's fancy hair potion spilled into Cedric's smoke Serum! "Ms. Cordelia bumped the table!"

"Which caused her fancy hair potion to spill into Cedric's Smoke bottle, and mixed up the potions!"

Cordelia finished their train of thought. "And that's why the magic smoke changed my hair! It was... My fault the spell went wrong, I was the bungler!"

Sofia's amulet glowed again, representing Cedric's shock as much as everyone is. "And you blamed me, all these years!..."

Sofia smiled at everyone as Amber handed her mentor's family wand. "Mr. Cedric didn't really mess up that spell, he's a great sorcerer!"

"And Sofia, now that we know which two potions caused the spell to go wrong in the first place, you can finally fix Cordelia's hair!"

Both Cordelia and Sofia brightened at the idea! "Can we? Can we really?"

"I believe so!"

"Oh, Sofia, hurry!"

"I just hope all those sorcery lessons paid off: "Mixed up potions mistaken brew, Grow Cordelia's hair anew!"

In a flash of light, Cordelia's hair was restored to the way it was before the mixed-up Serum was cast. "It's back! Oh, my lovely hair is back!"

Roland and Miranda went up to hug their little girl. "Sofia, that was amazing!"

"Thanks, mom!"

As everyone headed outside to play; deep within the amulet, Cedric smiled at Sofia's success.

"That's my little sorceress!..."

The sorcerer still felt terrible about betraying her and Roland's trust and was starting to miss them badly.

"(SIGHS) I will make you proud of me, your majesty!... If it's the last thing I ever do!..."

After a few weeks since Sofia had first became a protector trainee, today was the opening of the new museum in her village. Roland was looking for his favourite white tie, but couldn't find it.

"I could've sworn I left it right here! Sofia, would you look behind the couch?"

As Sofia looked behind the couch, Aunt Tilly entered the room. "No, not here."

Roland checked one of his desk drawers. "Now, where did I put my white tie? I wear it to all the events in Dunwitty..."

"And the opening of the Dunwitty museum today will be one of the biggest events of all, your majesty!"

Baileywick and Sofia knew the new museum exhibit will be exciting, especially for Roland! "I can't wait to see the 'crowns of the kingdom's exhibit, I also heard there will be jiggly-wiggly pudding!"

Roland smirked, knowing it's his favourite pudding. "Don't think I haven't heard the same! Oh well, I'll just wear my yellow one until I find my white one!"

Before Baileywick could hand Roland his speech, Tilly cleared her throat. "Uh-ahem!"

Sofia and Roland turned around to see Tilly standing at the door, shocking both of them! "Tilly!"

"Oh, Aunt Tilly! What are you doing here?"

"Look what I found on my last trip!"

The older woman held up a wand to her step-niece and brother, which both of them recognized! "That's Grimtrix's wand! How did you find it, Tilly?!"

"Well, I was on a journey to visit the Isle of Dragons when I found Grimtrix terrorizing the dragons! Sir Jaxon managed to seize the sorcerer, but I managed to grab this from him while the dragons had him distracted!"

Tilly hands Sofia the wand, which causes her to have tears of joy forming in her eyes. "Do you know what this means?..."

"I was hoping you could tell me and my brother, Sofia!"

"Aunt Tilly, with this wand, we can free Mr. Cedric from my amulet!"

That outburst filled both Tilly, Roland, and Baileywick hearts with joy, now that the youngest Princess could free their royal sorcerer!

"You can?!"

"She can?!"

"Ah, what a relief!..."

Suddenly, Sofia's purple Enchantlet lit up, indicating that one of the protectors was calling her. "Hello?"

The enchanted rope came out of the bracelet, showing her trainer Chrysta; was calling her on her blue enchantlet. "Oh! Hi Chrysta, what's up?"

"Orion sent me on an undercover mission in your world because he thinks Prisma and Twitch are planning to steal one of the Wicked Nine at the museum in your old village!"

That got not only her aunt's attention, but it also got Roland's attention as well! "Wait, wait, wait- The Wicked Nine? The ancient evil objects that were used by big-time villains that Sofia and Prisma are looking for?"

"That's the one, your majesty! And I'm afraid Wormwood wants to help her steal it!"

That got the three royals's attention. "What do you mean?"

"Well Tilly, what happened was...

Chrysta had just arrived in Sofia's old village when she saw Prisma, who was disguised as a villager. "Perfect, but we still need a way to steal the next object of the Wicked Nine!"

Wormwood, who was spying nearby, growing tired of the joyous spirit Cedric had become while he was trapped within the amulet instead of the 'Old Cedric', had become interested in what the young woman had in mind. "Steal? Well, that's not very goody-goody at all!"

Twitch, who was disguised as a cat, knew they had to figure out what item they were looking for. "Um, Prisma? We still don't know which one is Snow White's stepmother's crown! What was her name, again?"

Prisma opened the locket, causing Vor to show her what the crown looked like. "Grimhilde; and this is her crown, the powerful Wicked Nine object you've come to steal!"

Twitch smirked, he couldn't wait for the museum to open so they could steal the crown. "Got it, now let's go nab it in one humdinger of a heist!

Prisma frowned at her animal-shifting friend, knowing they have a problem still. "Uh, Twitch? We still need to find a way to swipe the crown without Princess Sofia or the King spotting us!"

Suddenly, Wormwood flew down to the two of them, shocking the two of them! "Excuse me, but I, er... Do believe I can be of some service to you in this endeavour."

"And just who are you?"

"I'm sorry, where are my manners, my dear? My name: Wormwood. My aim: To aid you in this wonderfully wicked theft I heard you plotting."

Twitch knew an evil animal when he saw one, but wanted to ask why he wanted to help them. "Why? What's in it for you?"

"Oh, my current master is such a do-gooder now. I long for some good old-fashioned scheming! Would you be so kind as to let me join your evil band?"

Prisma studied the raven carefully, before deciding to strike a deal with him. "Okay, I'll make you a deal, Wormwood. You steal Grimhilde's crown, then meet me at the old cabin in the woods outside of town."

"You mean the old cabin with the crooked chimney?"

"(CHUCKLES) That's the one! Once the crown is in my hands, and only then, I'll consider letting you join us!"

"I am honoured for the chance to connive and steal for you, my lady!"

Baileywick, Roland, and Tilly knew that this wasn't good at all. "Sofia, please tell me that's not as bad as it sounds?"

Sofia knew it was beyond cruel. "Bringing all of the Wicked Nine together could put everyone in danger! And once the spell is completed, even Cedric will be in more danger than ever!"

Roland clutched Cedric's wand, hating what Prisma and Wormwood are doing to Azurine and Cedric. "Prisma... She hurt Azurine! "He" abandoned his own master! If I ever him again...!"

Chrysta sees Roland is upset. "Roland, calm down! We have to think about saving Cedric first!"

As She logs off the call, Sofia turns away as Tilly sighs. "(SIGHS) You're right! What do you think, Sofia? Sofia?"

Sofia looks down and sees a special wand with a note attached to it! "To a young sorceress from her proud mentor; Cedric."

"I don't care what Wormwood is up to! Because today I'm saving Cedric!"

"Are you sure that's a good idea?..."

"Dad, please try to understand! Cedric's in this mess because of me, I promised him I would free him!"

Tilly knew she was right and made her own decision. "Well then... I'll go with you while Chrysta is with Roland and Baileywick!"

Sofia's eyes softens, confused by her Aunt's decision to go with her. "Tilly..."

Her aunt sighs, knowing her mind is made up. "Me and Cedric don't always see eye to eye, but I do consider him family as much as Baileywick! I want him back as much as you do!..."

Sofia smiles, glad she has her aunt to support her decisions. "Alright, then we've got no time to lose!"

Tilly rushed out after Sofia out of the room, as Roland looked sadly at a picture of him and Cedric as little kids. Later at the stables, Minimus and Athena were napping when they both heard their best friends call for him.

"Minimus!"

"Athena!"

The both of them woke up shocked, seeing both Sofia and Tilly come in dressed into comfy clothes.

"Oh, Sofia! Why are you and Tilly here?!"

Sofia smiles excited before she and her aunt get on their horses. She pulls the wand out and shows it to him and Athena.

"Wait a minute, is that?..."

"Yep! Grimtrix's wand! Tilly got it from him!"

"Right on, Sofia!"

"I don't know how you pulled that off, Grimtrix never lets anyone get close to him!"

"Okay, Sofia; show us the way Aziluna, we've got a sorcerer to free!"

Sofia and Minimus rode towards Avalor with Tilly and Athena close behind.

Sofia(Singing):
Without my teacher I feel so blue,
All alone and so upset.
But I know just what I must do,
I've got to get my friend back!

Prisma(SInging):
I finally hatched a brilliant scheme to catch sneaky castle girl!
For she's drawn to things that gleam,
That's how I'll get that crown back!

Sofia(Singing):
It's more than a necklace to me,
For the magic within holds the key...
To sharing words, with my dear friends...
Oh, where could my friend be?
Where could he be?...

Prisma(Singing):
I'll place the jewel upon the ground;
While high above my trap is set!
The cage will drop when she comes round,
That's how I'll get that crown back!
It's more than an object to me,
For the magic within holds the key...
To swipe the crown!
Now please, pipe down!
As we await our victory,
Our victory!

Sofia(Singing):
I've feel like I've looked everywhere,
But I'm not giving up just yet!

Prisma(Singing):
The beast will fly into my lair, and that's the way I'll get...

Sofia(Singing):
Somehow I have to get...

Both(Singing):
Whatever it takes I've got to get...
That crown back/My friend back!...
