Sofia the First: A Tale of Two Clubs

Princely Adventure Club

Princess Sofia and her best friend, Prince Hugo, really enjoyed doing everything together. Although they usually enjoyed doing their hobbies with each other, they liked to invite their friends to join the fun. Sofia and Hugo liked to let their friends join them in the fun, and they don't like to leave each other out for any reason. But they needed to teach their friends not to exclude anyone and to listen when someone refuses to participate for any reason.

Sofia arrived at Albuquerque Palace for a play date with Hugo. His father, King Garrick, led Sofia to his sons' bedroom, where Hugo and his older brother, Axel, were putting away some very interesting tools.

"Hugo, Sofia is here to see you," Garrick reminded his youngest son.

"Thanks, Dad," Hugo replied.

Sofia came in to see Hugo, who said, "Hey, Sofia."

"Hi, Hugo," Sofia waved. Seeing the fancy gold tool Hugo had, she asked, "What do you have there?"

"It's a gold carabiner," Hugo replied. "You can hook it onto anything. Plus, there's a screwdriver hidden in this end. Axel and I made these together."

"Cool," Sofia smiled. "What are they for?"

"Hugo helped me make them for this new woodshop club at my school," Axel replied. "We were told to bring in some tools to build with, and I volunteered to bring in screwdrivers and goggles."

"Cool," Sofia said.

"Yeah, but I realized today that we made too many," Axel declared. "We won't be needing the extras."

"But don't you need to save these in case your friends need a spare?" Hugo suggested.

"We already have spares in the workshop," Axel replied. "Maybe you can use the extras for your own club, baby bro."

"What kind of club would need a carabiner besides a woodshop club?" Hugo asked.

Sofia had a great idea. "Hugo, what if you started a Princely Adventure Club for the princes at Royal Prep?" she suggested. "You can take them on exciting adventures."

Hugo liked the idea of a Princely Adventure Club. "I like that idea," he smiled. But then he realized there was one problem, and his smile dropped.

"But if this club is only for princes, then you can't join us in the fun, Sofia," Hugo frowned. He didn't think it was fair to form a club that couldn't let his best friend join the fun.

"Ah, that's okay," Sofia shrugged. "We spend a lot of time together anyway. You deserve some princely time, and I can always do something with the princesses while you're busy."

Hugo felt bad that Sofia couldn't join him in the fun, but she had a point—they did everything together and barely spent time with anyone else unless they were with their families.

"Well, if you say so," Hugo declared.
