The Tea Party Hostess

Speaker	Dialogue
Princess Hildegard	They're choosing the host of the tea party today.
Princess Mae	Today's the day. I wonder who it's going to be.
Princess Penelope	I hope they pick me.
Princess Sofia	What's going on?
Princess Clio	The fairies are picking the student who will host the next Royal Prep tea party today.
Princess Sofia	I love tea parties! Before I was a princess, I threw tea parties in the village all the time. We spread blankets on the ground and borrowed teapots and teacups from our moms.
Princess Hildegard	Borrowed teacups?
Princess Clio	On blankets?
Princess Amber	Oh, Sofia. These tea parties are a much bigger deal. The whole class goes. Even the fairies.
Princess Hildegard	See for yourself, Sofia. Clio's had ponies.
Princess Amber	Hilde's party had a merry-go-round.
Princess Clio	Amber's party was my favorite. We rode hot air balloons!
Princess Amber	It was remarkable, even for me.
Princess Sofia	Wow! Those parties are huge.
Princess Amber	Good times.
Flora	As you know, only students who haven't had a chance to host a party should submit their names. Sorry, Amber.
Princess Amber	Oh. Okay.
Flora	And only submit your name once, please. And now for the drawing. Oh. This is so exciting. Let me give the teapot a good and proper stir.
Princess Amber	I'll cross my fingers for you, Sofia.
Flora	And the host of the next Royal Prep Tea Party will be... Princess Sofia!
Princess Amber	Works every time.
Flora	Oh, congratulations, Sofia. The tea party will be at your castle this weekend. You can throw any kind of party you like. This is your chance to show us who you are. Express yourself and have fun.
Princess Hildegard	You're going to have to do better then borrowed teacups, Sofia.
Princess Clio	Much better.
Princess Amber	There have been a lot of grand Royal Prep Tea Parties. What are you going to do for yours, Sofia?
Princess Sofia	Mmm. I have one idea.
Princess Amber	It better be spectacular because we princesses are not easy to impress.
Prince James	Oh, Amber. It's just a tea party.
Princess Amber	There's no such thing as just a tea party.
Princess Sofia	I think it's a pretty good idea. I'll show you when we get home. Here we are.
Princess Amber	What is that?
Princess Sofia	Well, Amber, since there have already been so many big, fancy parties, I think it would be fun to throw a simple tea party like I used to do in the village. We can spread out blankets on the castle lawn.
Prince James	Like a picnic?
Princess Amber	A picnic?
Princess Sofia	Exactly! What do you think?
Princess Amber	You don't want to know.
Princess Sofia	Yes, I do.
Princess Amber	I'm not impressed.
Princess Sofia	Oh. But I didn't tell you my idea for the party favor. Everyone will get to decorate their own tea cup!
Prince James	Brilliant.
Princess Sofia	Sounds fun, right?
Princess Amber	Hmm. That's not the word I'd use to describe it.
Princess Sofia	What word would you use?
Princess Amber	Hmm. Small. Way too small.
Princess Sofia	Really?
Princess Amber	Oh, don't worry, Sofia. Your party is going to be fabulous.
Princess Sofia	How do you know?
Princess Amber	Because you have a secret weapon.
Princess Sofia	What's that?

Princess Sofia	So I guess I need to come up with a bigger idea, then.
Princess Amber	Oh, Sofia. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Do I need to sing the song again?
Prince James	No.
Princess Sofia	Hmm. Let me think. I've got it! Thank you for getting everyone together.
Baileywick	Of course, Princess Sofia. What can we do for you?
Princess Sofia	I'm going to have a swan-themed tea party. We'll set up the tables right beside the Swan Fountain. And we'll have swan-shaped cookies and cakes.
Baileywick	Sounds lovely.
Princess Amber	And?
Princess Sofia	More?
Princess Amber	Definitely more.
Princess Sofia	Mmm. Maybe we could get Mr. Ceedric to make the tables and chairs float in the air, like the swans float on the water!
Princess Amber	Thinking big, Sofia. Oh, and what else?
Princess Sofia	We need more?
Princess Amber	Mmm-hmm.
Prince James	Hey, what about a big swan cannon that goes kaboom?
Princess Amber	Not helpful, James.
Princess Sofia	Maybe we can get the swans to put on a little show.
Baileywick	Princess Sofia, this all sounds delightful. But are you sure you want to do so much?
Princess Amber	She has to, Baileywick.
Princess Sofia	It's true. All the students and teachers will be there. It needs to be a great party!
Baileywick	And it will be. Here. You can use these to keep track of your party plans.
Princess Sofia	Thanks, Baileywick. Perfect! It looks just like a swan!
Jade	Sofia!
Princess Sofia	Ruby! Jade!
Jade	We've been looking all over the castle for you!
Princess Sofia	I'm planning this tea party for my school.
Ruby Hanshaw	Oh! That sounds pretty important. We can come back another time.
Princess Sofia	No, no, no. I could use a break. Maybe a little snack?
Jade	Sounds good to me!
Princess Sofia	And I know the perfect spot. Here it is. I tied the ribbon here so I wouldn't forget the way in.
Ruby Hanshaw	The way in where?
Princess Sofia	My secret garden.
Ruby Hanshaw and Jade	Whoa!
Ruby Hanshaw	Ooh! It's beautiful.
Jade	Look at all the butterflies.
Ruby Hanshaw	This reminds me of the tea parties we had in the village. Are you throwing a party like this for your princess friends?
Princess Sofia	I wish. They expect a big, fancy tea party.
Ruby Hanshaw	That's too bad. 'Cause I'm having a great time.
Jade	Me too.
Princess Sofia	It is nice. I wish I could stay longer, but I have a lot left to do.
Jade	Oh. Come on. One more teeny, eeny, weenie, meeny biscuit?
Princess Sofia	Okay. But just one more. Or maybe two.
Baileywick	Ah, Princess Sofia. You're just in time to choose the plates for your party.
Princess Sofia	This one's nice.
Princess Amber	Ugh. If you were a duchess or a countess. But you're a princess.
Princess Sofia	Hmm. What's wrong with it?
Prince James	Yeah, it looks all right to me.
Princess Amber	Well, it isn't. It's too small, too plain, and too simple. You need something like this.
Princess Sofia	Ooh!
Prince James	Whoa!
Princess Sofia	Really? Isn't it a bit shiny?
Princess Amber	Of course. That's the idea, Sofia. When your guests sit down for tea, you want them to say...
Prince James	Brilliant!
Princess Amber	Exactly. Brilliant.
Princess Sofia	Okay, Baileywick. We'll use the gold plates.
Baileywick	Very well then.
Princess Sofia	Amber, are you sure this isn't too much? It looks more like a feast than a tea party.
Princess Amber	Oh, Sofia. You can never have too much of a good thing.
Prince James	You can say that again.
Princess Sofia	James! Did you eat all the cookie samples?
Prince James	Sorry. But they're great! They looked like swans and tasted like cookies!
Princess Amber	Hmm. How big was the cookie?
Prince James	About yay big.
Princess Amber	Oh. Oh, that won't do. They need to be at least yay big. And probably bigger.
Prince James	I thought this was Sofia's party, Amber.
Princess Amber	Oh. It is. I'm just helping. Sofia, what kind of cookies would you like?
Princess Sofia	Well, the guests will be hungry and we don't want the cookies to be too small, so I guess we should make them as big as we can, please.
Princess Amber	Oh. Excellent choice. And she'll have the biggest swan cakes, too.
Princess Sofia	Thanks.
Princess Amber	Oh. This is fun. Hmm. What's next?
Princess Sofia	Oh. Um, the floating tables. Mr. Ceedric!
Cedric the Sorcerer	Princess Sofia! Princess Amber! Surely they teach you how to knock at that royal school of yours.
Princess Sofia	I'm sorry. The door was open.
Princess Amber	We have to ask a favor. Go ahead, Sofia.
Princess Sofia	Um. So I was wondering, do you have a spell that can make things float?
Cedric the Sorcerer	"Do I have a spell that can make things float?" Do I have a spell that can make things float? Oh, yes, yes! Of course, I do. Behold! Floaticus-hover-a-boo!
Princess Sofia	Wow! That's terrific!
Cedric the Sorcerer	Oh, yes. Yes it is, isn't it?
Princess Sofia	So, I'm hosting a tea party tomorrow and it would be great if you could make all the tables and chairs float just a little bit. Maybe this high off the ground?
Cedric the Sorcerer	Oh, wouldn't you know it, I'm afraid I already have plans.
Princess Amber	Huh. I thought the Royal Sorcerer was supposed to do whatever the king commands.
Cedric the Sorcerer	Yes. I do what the king commands.
Princess Amber	Uh-huh. Then perhaps I should go get Daddy. Oh. I mean, the king, and have him command you.
Cedric the Sorcerer	That won't be necessary. When I said I had plans, I meant plans to make your party as special as can be.
Princess Amber	Hmm. That's more like it.
Princess Sofia	Thank you, Mr. Ceedric. See you at the party.
Cedric the Sorcerer	It's Cedric. And you are most certainly not welcome. Oh! The beaker! Floaticus-down-itzo!
Queen Miranda	Oh!
Baileywick	Are you all right, Your Highness?
Cedric the Sorcerer	Oh. Merlin's mushroom.
Princess Amber	Oh. What next?
Princess Sofia	I have to do this one myself. But I'll catch up with you later.
Princess Amber	Okay. I'll go check on the decorations. Don't forget bigger is better!
Prince James	Whoa! Slow down!
Princess Amber	I can't. I have a party to plan.
Prince James	Don't you mean Sofia has a party to plan?
Princess Amber	Of course. Listen, I'd love to chat more but there's so much to do. I have to make sure we have enough streamers, goody bags, ice... Hold on, I just got the best idea!
Prince James	You're going to let Sofia throw her own party?
Princess Amber	No. I'm going to make Sofia's party even bigger!
Prince James	Oh, boy.
Princess Sofia	Hi, pretty swans! I brought food!
Ralph	Incoming!
Portia	Relax, Ralph. They're just bread crumbs.
Princess Sofia	Sorry.
Portia	Don't worry about Ralph. He's a little skittish.
Ralph	We're swans. We're all skittish. What can I do for you, Princess Sofia? Whatcha need?
Princess Sofia	I'm hosting a tea party for my school and I was hoping you could perform a water ballet.
Ralph	Ballet? Hello, we're swans. We swim. We fly. We honk. We do not dance.
Portia	Honey, I think she means she wants us to fly and swim as though we were dancing.
Princess Sofia	Yes! Exactly! You're so graceful.
Ralph	I... I am, aren't I? I mean, we'd love to. Right? Heads up, swans. Are we all in?
Portia	It would be our pleasure, Princess Sofia.
Ralph	Only one condition. Next time, sprinkle the bread crumbs gently in the water.
Princess Sofia	I promise. Let's see... I did the plates, cookies, Mr. Ceedric, swans. Oh, the dress! I have to go. See you at the party!
Queen Miranda	Sofia.
Princess Sofia	Oh. Hi, Mom.
Queen Miranda	Baileywick told me all about your party. Oh. Is everything okay?
Princess Sofia	Yes. I've just been really busy with all the planning. But the party is going to be so big and fancy. Amber says everyone is going to love it.
Queen Miranda	Oh, I'm sure they'd be pleased no matter what kind of party you threw. Like those sweet little tea parties you used to have with Ruby and Jade by the lake.
Princess Sofia	I don't know. Amber says, I have to think big.
Princess Amber	Sofia! I just had the greatest idea! It's so big, I can't believe we didn't think of it before. Ready? An ice swan! Armstrong makes ice sculptures. He can carve this big block of ice into a giant swan. Right, Armstrong?
Armstrong	Yep.
Princess Sofia	But, Amber, I think we have enough going on at the party. Do we really need one more thing?
Princess Amber	Absolutely! This will be like the cherry on top of the sundae. You can't throw a swan party without an ice swan. Everyone expects an ice swan.
Princess Sofia	Ice swan it is. Amber?
Princess Amber	Rise and shine, Sofia. Today's your big day!
Princess Sofia	I hope they like it.
Princess Amber	Oh, they're going to love it. Now let's start setting up.
Princess Sofia	Okay.
Princess Amber	Sofia, did you check the tables?
Princess Sofia	Yes, the tables look great.
Princess Amber	And we have enough teapots?
Princess Sofia	More than enough.
Princess Amber	What about the cookies and cakes?
Princess Sofia	Here they come now. What do you think, Mom?
Queen Miranda	Oh, it's very fancy.
Princess Amber	Oh, I know. Isn't it great.
Queen Miranda	You did a wonderful job.
Princess Sofia and Princess Amber	Thank you!
Princess Amber	And wait until you see the ice swan. Wait! Where is the ice swan?
Princess Sofia	It's on its way, Amber. I'm going to go check on the real swans. Be right back. Hi there!
Portia	Ralph! It's just Princess Sofia.
Ralph	What's up?
Princess Sofia	I just wanted to make sure you're ready for your performance.
Ralph	Well, to be perfectly honest, I'd feel a lot better if we ran through it again.
Portia	Okay, one more time from the top.
Princess Sofia	Ooh! So graceful. Maybe bigger is better.
Cedric the Sorcerer	Princess Sofia. Your Royal Sorcerer has arrived.
Princess Sofia	Oh. Hi, Mr. Ceedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer	Shall we get this party floating?
Princess Sofia	The floating tables. Right! Maybe we should wait until...
Cedric the Sorcerer	I just want to get it over wit hand be on my way. Thank you.
Princess Amber	It's here, Sofia! The ice swan!
Princess Sofia	That's great! But, but watch out! Ahhh!
Ralph	Hold your form.
Cedric the Sorcerer	Floaticus-hover-a... Oh, no!
Princess Sofia	No! Stop!
Prince James	Brilliant.
Princess Amber	What, what's going on?
Princess Sofia	Mr. Ceedric. The tables!
Cedric the Sorcerer	Oh, it was the swans' fault. Silly birds should watch where they're flying.
Baileywick	Cedric! Would you kindly bring the tables back?
Cedric the Sorcerer	I can't bring them back if I can't see them, now can I? I didn't want to do this in the first place, but now it's all my fault!
Princess Sofia	Mr. Ceedric? Baileywick? Mom! The party. Everything's ruined!
Queen Miranda	Oh. I'm sorry, honey.
Princess Sofia	What am I going to do? Everyone's about to show up.
Queen Miranda	Well, you'll just have to come up with a new plan.
Princess Sofia	But how? I don't have time to plan another big, fancy party.
Queen Miranda	Sofia, did you even want your tea party to be so big and fancy?
Princess Sofia	Well, not really.
Queen Miranda	Mmm-hmm. Well, what kind of tea party did you want to throw?
Princess Sofia	Something a little simpler, I guess. But fun. Like the parties I had with Ruby and Jade.
Queen Miranda	Well, now's the chance to throw the party you want to throw. Not the one everyone expects you to throw.
Princess Sofia	But what will the other kids say?
Queen Miranda	It doesn't matter. It's your party. Show them what a Sofia tea party is like and I'm sure everyone will have a good time.
Princess Sofia	You really think so?
Queen Miranda	Mmm-hmm.
Prince James	So do I.
Princess Amber	Well, we can't be too picky at this point.
Prince James	Amber.
Princess Sofia	I have an idea. It won't be very big. But it'll be fun. And I know just where to have it!
Baileywick and Queen Miranda	Where?
Princess Sofia	At my favorite spot in the whole castle.
Queen Miranda	Hmm. Where's that?
Princess Sofia	It's a secret.
Princess Hildegard	Princess Amber, which way to the party?
Princess Amber	I'm not sure. Sofia said to wait out here.
Princess Hildegard	Out here? Why?
Prince James	Princess Sofia would like you to follow the ribbons.
Princess Clio	Ooh! How fun!
Princess Hildegard	We'll see how fun.
Princess Amber	I see the next one! Here it is!
Cedric the Sorcerer	Yes, there is a ribbon tied to my head. You have found it, now move along.
Princess Hildegard	There's another ribbon! Follow me!
Baileywick	Right this way.
Princess Hildegard	What is this place?
Princess Amber	Let's go in and find out.
Princess Clio	A secret garden.
Princess Sofia	Welcome to my tea party!
Princess Hildegard	That is quite a view.
Princess Clio	And look at all the butterflies!
Princess Hildegard	I absolutely love it!
Princess Clio	Me, too! Love it!
Princess Amber	You do?
Princess Hildegard	Yes. It's like a picnic in the country. Very charming.
Princess Sofia	I'm so glad to hear that.
Princess Hildegard	But there's just one thing.
Princess Sofia	What?
Princess Amber	Yes. What?
Princess Hildegard	Plain white tea cups?
Princess Sofia	They won't be plain for long. Everyone gets to paint their own teacup! I painted swans on mine!
Prince James	I'm gonna paint a fort on mine! Boom goes the cannon.
Princess Hildegard	I'll cover mine in tiaras!
Princess Clio	I'll do whatever Hilde does!
Princess Amber	Well, Sofia, I have to say this is a great tea party. I guess bigger isn't always better.
Princess Sofia	It's just different, that's all. You like big parties, I like small parties. But both are just as good.
Flora	I believe this might be the most charming tea party we've ever attended. Let's raise our teacups to our hostess, Princess Sofia! Hear, hear!
All	To Sofia! Hear, hear!
Princess Sofia	To me!
