Plot
Sofia and Clover are in a hammock outside watching the clouds when it starts raining. When Clover gets back to his rabbit hole, it's flooded, so he retrieves his carrots from it. Clover arrives at Sofia's room, telling her what happened to his rabbit hole and the carrots he brought from it. Once Clover is dried off, Clover wonders if he could stay with Sofia, which she accepts, and decides for them to be roommates. Clover knows that it's the best idea he's ever heard, and he and Sofia sing about it. Later, when Sofia goes to sleep, Clover thanks her for sharing her room with him.
When Sofia wakes up the next day, she finds carrots scattered everywhere. When Sofia gargles, Clover is angry of how loud it is. Clover claims that he had "a midnight snack" with the carrots. He goes back to sleep but states that he will clean everything up soon. When Sofia heads down to breakfast, her parents tell her that Bryce Twigley, the best artist in the Tri-Kingdom Area, is coming to paint portraits of every room with every member of the Royal Family in the castle for the Museum of Post-Medieval Art. Twigley will arrive in two days. James reminds Amber of their astronomy homework tonight. Sofia tells Amber that she just has to chart a constellation, like she did last night.
Sofia returns to her room with blueberries but trips on Clover's pillow. Turns out, Clover moved it to get primo sunlight for his nap. Sofia tells him about Twigley coming to paint pictures of her room, and Clover decides to clean up the room later. Sofia decides on something fun, that being for her and Clover to paint their own pictures and decorate the room with them. First, Sofia and Clover have to clean up to make room. Later, Sofia paints flowers while Clover gets paint everywhere. Sofia tells him to make his masterpiece more neatly. Clover makes a mess, forcing him and Sofia to clean up everything again.
Meanwhile, Amber finds all the stars in the Unicornicus constellation with James finishing his chart of Pegasinia. Amber tells Master Erwin to check their homework, and he is impressed. He tells them that it's important to check their work twice if needed. After being told by Amber, Erwin removes the cover from the telescope. James looks through to see a constellation, but as for Amber, she spots a star she hasn't noticed before, and it's not in the book. Erwin sees it, and it means that Amber may have discovered a new star. To prove it, Amber must check every star chart to make sure no one has found it before her. If it turns out Amber has discovered the star, she will get to name it. Amber decides to wait on redecorating her room.
Sofia trips on Clover's bed again, with Clover stating that it moves when the sun does. Clover jumps on his bed again, to the dismay of Sofia, who goes back to sleep again. Clover snores loudly, and Mia and Robin arrive. Sofia tells them about her problems regarding Clover, and Robin tells Sofia to come up with some rules for Clover to follow.
The next day, Amber is still checking the star charts and tells James about potentially being the first person to find a new star since Griffin Major was discovered. Suzette arrives for Amber's gown fitting, but Amber states that it can wait. When James mentions it, Amber decides to take the charts to her room so she can redecorate it right after she finishes her celestial mapping.
Meanwhile, Sofia presents Clover with some roommate rules, including no carrots, much to his dismay. The rules will help keep the room neat and help Sofia and Clover get along better. Clover, who's starting to get bothered by Sofia's perfectionist attitude, tells Whatnaught about a way to bring the fun back. He decides to throw Sofia a surprise party with all of her favorite things to make her lighten up.
In Sofia's room, the animals are dancing and doing other activities. Mia and Robin arrive as the animals play with the different food. Praline breaks out his shimmer. Clover assumes that the party will fix everything when the party starts to get too wild when a cart crashes, startling Ralph. Rex bounces on Sofia's bed while other animals play dress-up, making the party a mess. Sofia arrives and witnesses what happened. She tells the animals that the party's over and Clover that all he did since he moved in was make messes. Clover assumes that Sofia is not too easy to live with herself and leaves in a huff.
Clover spots Mia and Robin sleeping in their spots and decides to sleep in Whatnaught's hollow. However, when Clover cannonballs onto a bed held up by acorns, all of the acorns from inside the tree fall out, with Whatnaught kicking Clover onto them. Clover then goes to sleep in Rex's doghouse. Meanwhile, with her room cleaned up and when she is about to go to sleep, Sofia feels guilty for making Clover feel bad.
When Bryce Twigley arrives the next morning, he tells Roland and Miranda about what he does for a living. When he gets to Amber's room, it is a mess. Amber shows up, claiming her room isn't ready yet. Twigley states that everything is perfect when James arrives. Twigley sees passion, as Amber likes the stars. As Amber stands beside her telescope, Twigley goes to paint her. While eating carrots in Rex's doghouse, Rex gets fur over Clover, who discovers what Sofia was talking about and how much of an inconsiderate and freeloading slob he's been.
Roland, Miranda, and Twigley arrive at Sofia's room, where Sofia sadly starts talking like Clover, to her parents' confusion. After seeing Clover's painting which contains Sofia holding carrots, Sofia goes out to find Clover, to her parents' concern. Upon finding him, Sofia apologizes for getting upset over a big mess. They reconcile with each other and get painted by Twigley. Later that night, Robin tells the pair that Clover's rabbit hole is dry and he can move back in. Sofia knows that she and Clover make better friends than roommates, and Clover decides on a sleepover, which Sofia agrees. Mia and Robin will join in, and Clover brings Sofia earmuffs so she won't her him sleeping. Sofia and Clover cannonball onto the bed before deciding to clean up the feathers in the morning. Meanwhile, Amber finds out to have discovered the star, and names it "Amberina Major". Roland states that it will be the first star he gazes at every night. Finally, Sofia and Clover state they're happy they're together again.
