Meanwhile, Sofia was trying to get rid of the crystals in the garden, but she didn't feel good enough to do so. She was still feeling hurt by Hildegard's betrayal, and her feelings ached so badly that she had to sit down. Sofia really wished Hildegard had been more thoughtful. Suddenly, the Amulet glowed, and there was a bright pink and purple flash of light—and right before Sofia's eyes was...

"Rapunzel!" Sofia gasped.

"Hi, Sofia," Rapunzel smiled. She noticed all the crystals in the garden. "Wow, you must really like diamonds."

"Not really," Sofia sighed. "I trusted my sister's friend Hildegard with a big secret, but then Hildegard stole my amulet from me, and it cursed her by bringing an evil Crystalmaster form the Mystic Isles here to the Ever Realm. Now the Crystalmaster wants to cover the Ever Realm with magic crystals."

"Is that so?" Rapunzel smiled knowingly. She remembered when Amber stole the Amulet from Sofia, and she helped Amber learn how to break her curse.

Suddenly, the two princesses heard Hugo say, "Crystalisima!" The magic crystals disappeared, and the other royals came.

"There you are," James smiled.

"Hi, Rapunzel," Hugo waved.

The other royals were surprised to see that Rapunzel was here. "Rapunzel, what are you doing here?" Axel asked.

"Sofia's amulet brought me here to help," Rapunzel replied.

Hearing that comment made Hildegard remember something. "Sofia, I'm so sorry," she apologized. "You trusted me with your secret, and since then, I thought only about myself. This would never have happened if I had never stolen your amulet, let alone even found out about it in the first place."

Sofia couldn't stay angry with Hildegard any longer. "It's okay," she said.

"No, it's not, but I'm going to make it right," Hildegard said. "I don't know how, but I will."

"Well, we should probably find that Crystalmaster, but with all these crystals planted in the ground, it won't be easy to even walk, let alone run," Roland declared.

"Then we'll have to go by flying horse," Sofia said.

"Good thing Zandar gave me that flying carpet," Hildegard grinned.

Sofia changed into her flying derby uniform, and Hildegard got her magic carpet. The royals met up at the castle entrance, ready to chase down Prisma.

"Okay, how are we going to find her?" Miranda asked.

"I can take care of that," Sofia smiled. She flicked her wrist, and her WhichWay Bow appeared. "Okay, show us the way to Prisma." She pulled the string back, and the arrow showed the way to find Prisma. "Tally-ho!"

Rapunzel hopped on a horse with Axel, Amber with James, and Miranda with Roland. The royals followed the arrow down the path in the sky. As the royals were riding, Hildegard steered her magic carpet to Axel's horse.

"You must be Princess Hildegard," Rapunzel grinned.

"Yes, and I suppose Sofia told you what happened," Hildegard surmised. "Do you know how I can break this curse?"

"Well, I knew a thief once, and he had a lot of bad deeds to make up for," Rapunzel recalled.

"Really?" Hildegard asked.

To help Hildegard understand, Rapunzel began to sing. Sofia and Hugo remembered when Rapunzel sang this to Amber to help break the curse on her.

Once I met a man,

A thief, a cad

With a selfish plan

That made me mad

Love set his heart aglow,

So sweet, so strange

But first, he had to show

That he could change

When I was in a spot,

My back against the wall,

He gave it all he got

And dared to risk it all

Things were getting rough

But he answered the call

He had to stay tough

And dare to risk it all

He was brave enough

To finally dare to risk it all

Putting yourself first

Led you astray

So now it seems you're cursed

To your dismay

To make up for your deeds

And prove you've grown,

Try putting other's needs

Before your own

Your friends are in a spot,

Their backs against the wall,

So give it all you've got

And dare to risk it all

If things start getting rough,

Just answer the call

You have to stay tough

And dare to risk it all

I know you're brave enough

To finally dare to risk it all

To save the ones you love,

You have to rise above

The curse is sure to fall

But only if you dare, dare to risk it all
