"I can't believe we can't use this manure on Hugo's grass," Amber muttered.

"I know—it would really speed things up," Hildegard concurred.

"Well, maybe just a little manure won't hurt," Amber suggested.

"Amber, Dad said not to use the manure on the grass," Sofia reminded her sister.

"I know, but it's only going to be a little bit," Amber told Sofia. "You know what they say: A little goes a long way."

"It doesn't matter," Sofia frowned. "We have to listen to Dad. When he says no, it's for a good reason. Well, I'm going to Albuquerque to ice-dance with Hugo." She took off to get her skates.

"Well, maybe Sofia is right," Amber shrugged.

"She's overreacting, Amber," Hildegard scoffed. "Besides, she said she was going to ice-dance with Hugo in his indoor ice rink. She doesn't have to know what we're up to outside."

"Okay," Amber smiled.

Sofia had taken off on Minimus. Amber and Hildegard got the manure in a flying coach. They had to be really careful when they follow Sofia—if she knew they were following her to Albuquerque Palace and saw the manure, she would know that Amber was disobeying their father.

As soon as Sofia was far ahead, the flying coach took off after her.

In no time, Sofia arrived at Albuquerque Palace.

"Hey, Sofia, ready for ice-dancing?" Hugo asked.

"Ready," Sofia smiled.

As the duo went inside, Hugo said, "Dad went out to see Miss Nettle."

"Okay," Sofia smiled.
