I yawned, sitting up straight in bed, extending my arms to the highest point they could reach as Amber barges in. 

"Happy birthday Sofia!!" Amber exhaled with her excitement screaming on her face, "Are you ready for the BEST. BIRTHDAY. EVER?!?!" 

I giggled with happiness, nodding my head vigorously trying to match my energy with Ambers, "What do you have planned for today?" I joyously asked. 

She sprinted towards me practically screaming, "Just wait and see, you'll be EXPLODING with joy!!!"

 Amber soon dragged me towards my closet filled with dozens of high-quality dresses hand made by Madam Collette herself, yet none of them pleased Amber. 

"This one's nice." I suggested, pulling out one of the most elegant dresses I've seen in my life, showing Amber the time and effort put into the stitch work, yet it didn't impress her at all.

"That isn't right!" She insisted as numerous knocks echo throughout the room.

"Your majesties??" Baileywick uttered, politely entering the room, "There's a package left for princess Sofia." 

I blinked at the speed of light, confused about who could've send a package at this time of day, yet still eager to find out what it was. I strolled towards Baileywick, taking the package from his hands as he exited the room.

"Who's that from?" Amber asked with a gigantic smirk on her face.

"It doesn't say.." I responded, feeling disappointed, yet having the biggest smile pasted on my face.

"What a bummer." Amber muttered, uninterested in the package nor what was inside.

I untied the perfect bow on the package, thinking; what could it be? I gently closed my eyes whilst I took off the lid that had revealed the most beautiful dress ever created by humanity.

"Whoever sent you this dress has great taste!" Amber commented, "You should wear that today!!"

I nodded my head, entering the changing room getting ready for the long day ahead. I exit the room in my new dress, making Amber jaw drop in amazement, "What do you think?" I asked. "It's stunning!!" She sincerely replied taking my hand , "Now let's go!" We entered the dining hall only to see the friendly faces of my family : Miranda, my mother, Roland, my father and James, my step-brother, all gathered at the table. 

"Good morning girls." Mother greeted us, "Happy birthday Sofia!!" 

I smiled towards my family, as they re-payed it with a smile back at me as Amber and I both sat down next to each other, waiting for my birthday breakfast to be revealed. 

"Happy birthday Lady Sofia!" Congratulated one of the maid, as she revealed my breakfasts; golden berry pancakes!! We all excitingly digged into our delicious meal as we rushed towards the carriage making sure we wouldn't run late. We jumped onto the carriage before we all took flight.

"Where to first?" asked the chauffeur as the speed of the two carriage horses exhilarated, causing the carriage to take flight. 

"To EverRealm please." Commanded Amber.

The chafferer immediately went towards the direction of EverRealm Academy, flying circles above the gigantic school until finally landing. Amber and I hoped out of the carriage, showing our gratitude to the chauffeur for taking us to school quickly as we head on inside, both of us on the look out for our friends wherever they may be.
