Sofia the First: Friends Near and Far

Here We Are

It took a long time to get to Avalor. It was early in the morning, and everyone was getting up. Daisy and Sara came out, wearing sharp uniforms, and they saw Avalor City.

"Wow, this is even better than I remember," Daisy gasped. Her parents came out, wearing descent clothes.

"Ah, Avalor is the way it was before Shuriki took over," her mother smiled.

Sofia and Hugo came out to join them. Sofia was wearing the same dress she wore the first time she visited this kingdom. Hugo was wearing a sharp blue uniform.

"Good morning," Garrick smiled. "Did you send a message about our arrival to Crown Princess Elena?"

"We sent the message an hour ago," the captain replied.

Meanwhile, it Avalor Palace, Elena and her family and friends were really excited—the princess who saved Avalor is coming back with her family.

"This is perfect," Elena gushed. "Sofia is coming back to Avalor."

"I'm really looking forward to meeting her," Naomi Turner smiled. She was one of the four members of Elena's Grand Council.

At the dock, the royal galleon had arrived. So many people were really happy to see the heroine of Avalor again. Once Daisy, Sara, their families, and the royals got down from the ship, the Avalorans cheered loudly, happy to see Sofia.

"Sofia, I think they're cheering for you," James said.

"Why me?" Sofia asked.

"You saved us all from Queen Shuriki," Daisy replied. "What could be better than seeing the princess who saved us all form the 41 years of tyranny?"

Elena and her family and Grand Council showed up at the dock. Elena was so happy to see Sofia again that she ran up to her, picked her up, and gave her a big bear hug. "Sofia! Welcome back to Avalor!" she cried.

"Thanks, Elena," Sofia smiled. She was happy to see Mateo, who is now the royal wizard.

"So you brought friends," Chancellor Esteban smiled.

"We had a reason to come back here," Garrick said. "This nice young lady was trying very hard to earn money to take her parents here to their home kingdom. Her parents didn't want her to work so hard that she'll end up hospitalized. That's why we decided to take them home ourselves."

"That's nice of you," Esteban smiled.

Meanwhile, Sofia, Hugo, Sara, and Daisy were with Elena.

"Princess Elena, Daisy told me that you lost your parents when Shuriki invaded Avalor," Sara said. "I know how you feel. I lost my mom when I was 9, and I lost my dad when I was 14."

"Aw, really?" Elena asked. It was really sad that Elena, Isabel, and Sara had lost their parents, but they felt good to have something in common.

Sara hoped that Daisy wasn't hurt that the former had something in common with the princesses of Avalor. "Daisy, do you mind if I get to know Princess Elena?" she asked.

"No, go ahead," Daisy smiled. "Right now I want to see how much has changed since Shuriki was overthrown."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Oh, much has changed here."

Daisy turned and saw four grown-up jaquins and three little jaquins. "Migs! Skylar! Luna!" she beamed. "So good to see you again."

"It's great to see you, Daisy," Luna smiled.

"And I see you know the princess who saved Avalor from Shuriki," Skylar smiled.

"That's right," Sofia smiled.

Noticing the grown purple jaquin, Daisy asked, "So who's this?"

"This is my mate, Dulce," Migs smiled.

"And these little ones are our babies," Dulce smiled. "The blue one is named Zoom, the pink one is named Estrella, and the purple is named Mingo."

"They're so cute," Sofia cooed.

Seeing Sofia's purple dress, Mingo flew up to her.

"Aw, Mingo really likes you, Sofie," Hugo smiled.

Suddenly, what sounded like an old woman rang out, "Mijita!" It was an old woman wearing a light blue top with a dark blue skirt and black vest.

"Mamá!" Daisy's mother called happily.

"Abuela!" Daisy called. She and her parents went over.

"Hola, Elvira," Jesus smiled.

"Magda, Jesus, Daisy!" Elvira smiled.

"I missed you so much, Abuela," Daisy smiled.

"I missed you, too, mijita," Elvira smiled.

Daisy turned to her friends and said, "This is my grandma."

"Good to meet you," Hugo smiled.

"Well, how would you folks like to stay with us in the palace?" Elena offered.

Sara, Edelyn, Vaughn, and the royals liked that idea.

Isabel turned to Daisy and her parents and asked, "Do you want to join us?"

"I was hoping to stay at my mother's house while we're here," Magda admitted.

"And I haven't seen my grandmother since we moved," Daisy chimed in.

"It's okay—you can stay with your grandmother if you want," Elena smiled.
