Sofia the First

Ruby: Sofia, show us one more time!

Over, down.

The rabbit pops up, and there--

It's a "friendship knot."

Here. Help me pull it tight.

Whoa!

Gather 'round, buttercups! Hi, mom!

I want you to meet our troop's newest members, peg and meg.

I'm meg, she's peg.

Sorry about that.

It's okay. Our brother gets us mixed up all the time.

I don't know why. Me neither.

We're so different!

So let's give meg and peg a warm buttercup welcome.

So, who wants to present meg and peg

With their buttercup vests?

I will, mrs. Hanshaw. Thank you, sofia.

Oh, I'm so excited.

I'm even more excited.

I'm the most excited ever!

You're buttercups now!

Thanks. I can't believe there's a princess

In our buttercup troop.

I can't believe we're at the castle.

It was very nice of the queen to have us over.

It's my pleasure, helen.

Hey, what are those? And why don't we have any?

When you're a buttercup, you explore the great outdoors

And learn new things.

And for every new activity you do,

You get a badge

Which you put on your vest.

I got this one for swimming,

This one for bird-calling,

And this one for unicorn-spotting.

I want to spot unicorns.

And any buttercup who fills

Her entire sash with badges

Earns a special sunflower medallion!

All: Oooohhh! Mmm!

And tomorrow, you'll all get a chance

To earn plenty of badges

Because we're going on a nature hike

Through the pepper tree forest!

All: Yay!

That's where we go sledding in the winter.

I love it there! Not as much as me!

I can't wait for the hike.

I only need one more badge

To fill up my vest and get my sunflower pin.

Only one.

I still need three.

I need two.

We need... ...A lot.

Don't worry.

You'll earn a bunch tomorrow on the hike.

Time to go, girls!

Baileywick, at the next meeting of the knights,

Let's make it a roundtable.

Dad! Hello there, sofia.

My my. What's this you're wearing? My buttercup uniform.

The buttercups are hiking through pepper tree forest tomorrow.

Now, hold on a moment.

I don't know that the forest

Is a proper place for a princess.

Oh, she'll be fine.

You know, sofia was a buttercup

Before she was a princess.

And I only need one more badge

To get my sunflower pin.

Please, dad.

But what if something happens to you?

Ruby's mother will be there.

Sofia will be perfectly safe.

But she could fall.

Then I guess she'd have to pick herself up.

If I may, your majesty,

I was a groundhog scout as a boy.

Exploring the great outdoors

Gave me skills I use to this very day.

I think princess sofia would learn a lot by going.

That's it! What's it?

Baileywick will accompany sofia.

Me? Baileywick, dad?

Why, with your groundhog experience,

You're the perfect person to make sure sofia

Doesn't get a single scratch.

And I mean not a single scratch.

Not a one, your majesty.

Dad, I don't need baileywick. I'll be fine on my own.

And you'll be even more fine with baileywick.

I just want to make sure that you're safe and sound.

Oh. Okay.

You'll barely notice I'm there, princess sofia.

It'll be a wonderful hike, I promise.

Groundhog's word.

Looks like a perfect day for a hike.

It sure does.

Tallyho!

Good morning, princess! Baileywick?

I've never seen you wear an outfit like that before!

It's my old groundhog uniform.

Isn't it wonderful?

I had to let it out a bit,

But it feels just like old times!

Hut two, hut two, hut two, hut two!

Baileywick: Whoops.

Ooh, dear. No worries.

I have a sewing kit in my backpack.

From the look of it, you have a whole sewing machine in your backpack.

A groundhog is always prepared.

I'll be just a moment, your majesties.

Mom...! Don't worry. Everything will be just fine.

Where's sofia?

Princess sofia of enchancia.

Both: Hi, sofia!

Hey!

And who do we have here? This is baileywick.

I'll be joining you today, on the king's orders.

Ah. A royal escort.

Well, as long as you keep up with the buttercups, it's fine by me.

I was once a groundhog scout,

So I'm quite at home in the wild.

let's move out, buttercups.

And you too, groundhog.

Let's put the "great" in the great outdoors.

Line up, everybody!

Come on, meg and peg!

We're buttercups!

Go, buttercups!

Hold up, buttercups.

Time for a water break.

Finally. Ohh.

Allow me, princess. Ohh!

It's your throne away from home.

I can sit on the ground with everyone else.

I wouldn't hear of it!

Now, how about some ice water?

okay, buttercups...

Here's your first chance to earn a badge--

The birdhouse badge.

Oh, goodie! The birdhouse badge!

What do we have to do?

You have to build a birdhouse out of twigs and bark.

All righty, then, go to it.

Buttercups, bloom!

Ow!

You okay? Oh, yeah, it's just a scratch.

a scratch?!

Not a single scratch!

Princess, allow me!
