Sofia the First: Safety Second

Lesson Learned

The trio went to Hugo and Axel's bedroom. Hugo looked under his bed and saw that Flo was right there underneath. "There you are—we've been looking for you," he smiled.

"You have?" Flo asked. "But all I ever did was cause trouble. I'm even the reason you're making a new lens in the first place."

"Yes, that's true—what you did was dangerous, Flo, but that doesn't mean we don't want you around," Sofia said. "We just want you to understand that safety is important."

"Maybe we need to show her why safety is important," Hugo suggested.

"How do we do that?" Isabel asked.

"Let's play with some of my stuff in here—maybe that'll show Flo why safety is important," Hugo suggested.

"Sounds good," Sofia smiled.

Hugo took out some sporting equipment. He found his dazzleball and threw it across the room, hitting the wall.

"Whoa, is it a good idea to hit the wall like that?" Flo asked.

"No, it's not," Hugo said.

"What about this hockey puck?" Isabel suggested.

"Let's play one on one hockey," Sofia said. She and Isabel played a little bit of hockey in the room, and the puck hit a picture hanging on the wall.

"Whoa, don't do that," Flo gasped. "You really shouldn't be playing hockey in a place like this."

"Just like you shouldn't be goofing around in an observatory or a laboratory," Isabel said.

Flo realized this was true—now she knew why safety rules are important. "Oh, you're right," she said.

"There's just a time and place for everything, Flo," Sofia said.

"I think I understand now," Flo said.

"Good," Hugo smiled. "Let's get back to the observatory—they've probably already made the new lens."

Flo, Hugo, Isabel, and Sofia went to the observatory, where Garrick and Grimtrix were about to safely put the new lens on the telescope. This time, Flo kept quiet, so she wouldn't scare them and make them drop the lens. Garrick and Grimtrix put the lens on the new telescope, and now it's ready.

"Done and done," Garrick smiled.

"Perfect," Grimtrix smiled.

"I'll calculate the coordinates," Axel said.

"And I'll position the telescope," Hugo said. But as he was headed for the telescope, Flo could see something wrong.

"Hugo, stop! Don't move!" Flo screamed.

Hugo froze in shock. "What's the matter, Flo?" he gasped.

"You could've stepped on that big piece of broken glass," Flo told him.

Hugo looked down to see that there was, indeed, a big piece of broken glass next to his foot. "You're right—thanks," he smiled.

"Don't move, honey—I got it," Samira said. Wearing gloves, she picked up the broken glass. "Okay, honey, go ahead."

Axel instructed Hugo on where the telescope should point.

A few hours later, it got dark—perfect for watching the meteor shower. Everyone took turns looking through the telescope at the meteor shower. There were purple and pink meteors flying through the sky.

"Wow, this is beautiful," Sofia gasped.

"Is that why it's called the Ruby Amethyst meteor shower?" Flo asked.

"Absolutely," Isabel confirmed.

"Now this is something I'd call out of this world," Hugo chuckled.

Sofia laughed at Hugo's joke, and so did Elena. Isabel was a bit disgusted at the pun, and Flo didn't get it at all.

Flo learned a big lesson in safety: it was important to follow rules, and there was a time and place for everything. Without safety rules, someone could get hurt.
