In the children's room, Aurora is getting her phone set up on video as Sophie is sitting on the bed next to her. She mainly does it to try out some of the features with her phone, especially the recording. However, she knows she has to delete the video to make sure a certain someone doesn't hack it. And be brief about her video."

Aurora soon has her phone on video record and turns to Sophie.

She turns on the recording and starts the video, "Okay everyone, this is my bed fox Sophie, who is the greatest magical fox pet. She is our family's special companion and has been with my dad since his childhood days."

Sophie soon scratches her ears with her back leg, not paying much attention to the camera.

Shortly after...

Sophie is walking around the lobby with Kee Kee right behind her.

Aurora says, "Sophie is very friendly and she likes the other pets like Kee Kee."

Soon, Sophie and Kee Kee are playing with a yawn ball like a ball. Soon, Fat Nuggets come along and begin to play with the yarn ball as well. Aurora giggles in response.

After that...

"And Sophie can do tricks," Aurora says, and calls out, "Sit Sophie."

The fox sits.

"Roll over!" Aurora says.

Sophie rolls over.

Then they hear Keenan's voice, "Hey Sophie!"

Aurora turns her phone to see Keenan with a hoop.

"Jump through the hoop, girl," Keenan says.

Sophie happily barks, "Arf!"

She runs over and jumps through the hoop.

"Good girl," Aurora says.

After that...

Aurora continues recording Sophie as the fox walks down the area and soon walks outside with the owner behind her.

"Of course, Sophie is no ordinary fox. As I said, she has magical abilities and can even change her form," Aurora says, "When she becomes a red fox, she can unleash fire powers. Okay Sophie, show the camera how you perform your powers."

Sophie does just that and makes fire come out from underneath her feet. She then begins running as the fire comes along her feet. She jumps and makes rings of fire as well. Sophie then raises all her tails and creates a fireball on each one. Then fires them into the sky.

"Good girl, Sophie," Aurora says.

Sophie walks over and happily barks, "Arf arf!"

"But she can change her form. Her usually beautiful fur turns pure white as snow," Aurora says.

"Okay girl, change," Aurora happily says.

Sophie then uses her magic and her usual red color coat has turned to pure white.

"She usually changes in this form during the cold season, but she sometimes changes in order to use her ice powers," Aurora says.

Then calls out, "Go girl."

Sophie then runs along and uses her powers to create ice on her feet then begins to slide around with excitement. She then jumps up, spins, and makes a snowy wind spread across the front area of the hotel.

Unknown to them, Alastor walks out as he says, "Aurora, your father is looking for you and..."

"Alastor, look out!" Aurora calls out.

Alastor turns to see Sophie and her powers coming towards him. However, Alastor is quick and goes down into his shadow to dodge the attack. Sophie soon lands on the ground, skids and comes to a stop. Then changes back to her other form with the orange fur. Soon, Alastor comes out from the shadows.

"Oops," Aurora sheepishly says.

"Well, this is certainly an unexpected development, and may I ask as to what you were doing," Alastor says.

"Sorry Alastor, I'm just trying out the video recording on my phone and showing off Sophie. Sorry about that," Aurora apologizes.

"Quite alright, but may I suggest having your fun a little ways from the hotel, and not use that silly modern phone to record your pet. You never know when a certain picture box headed overlord might be watching," Alastor says.

"I know," Aurora says, she then deletes the footage from her phone and takes necessary precautions, "I was just having fun."

"On the other hand, your father was looking for you and your pet. Said it's time for Sophie's bath," Alastor says.

"Okay," Aurora says.

Then picks up Sophie, "Come on, Sophie. Let's go inside."

"Arf," Sophie replies.

Aurora then takes Sophie inside as Alastor watches them walk into the hotel.

Alastor says to himself, "I must say, it's quite impressive what a little fox can do. Wonder what other surprises she may have."
