[Sofia] "New Horse
on the Block."

Today's the day, Minimus.

Flying Derby tryouts
at Charmswell! Are you ready?

Almost. I just gotta stretch out
the hindquarters here.

-Ooh!
-[giggles]

[grunts, sighs]

Now I'm ready.

Okay, Sofia, climb on up in the saddle
so we can go to school and...

[both] ...win the tryout race!

Here we go.

-[whinnies]
-[laughs]

Hey, wanna get in
some practice on the way?

You know I do!

Then hang on to your helmet!

Whoo-hoo!

Weave left.

Dodge right.

-Look out, birdies.
-[birds screech]

Here we come!

I don't think we've ever
made it to school this fast.

That's 'cause
we're fleet, sweet, and can't be beat.

Perfect landing.
Ten out of ten.

Thanks, Lady Saddlespur.

We're feeling good about
making the team this year.

Oh, there's only
one spot left,

but it's yours if you do well
on the course today.

Okay, Minimus.
Let's do our thing.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You can't ride on Minimus
for the tryouts.

-What?
-The rules say you have to ride

a flying horse from Charmswell,
when racing for Charmswell.

But I've never raced
on anyone but Minimus.

Well, you're gonna have to if you wanna be
on the school's team.

It's okay.

I'm gonna hit up
the stable snack bar.

I see some tasty oats
and hay bales calling my name.

Good luck, Sofia.
You're gonna do great.

But Minimus
isn't just my racehorse,

he's my friend.

Then I guess you'll have to make
a new friend, and I have just the horse.

-[whooshing]
-[gasps] What was that?

[whooshing]

Meet your new flying
derby partner.

Wildfyre.

[whinnies]

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, hey, Princess.

Word in the stable
is that your magic amulet

gives you the power to talk to me.

That's right. I'm Sofia.

I know who you are.

So let's skip the chitchat
and hit the skies.

I wanna see what you got.

Aren't you going to put on
a saddle first?

Nope. Saddles
don't really work for me.

What about reins?

How will I steer?

You can let me do
the steering, Princess.

Now, come on.
Climb aboard the Wildfyre Express.

[grunts] Whoa!

[grunts] Ahhh!

[grunts]

You sure are tall.

Here. Let me help ya.

Oh.

Without reins, I don't really
know where to put my hands.

-Let's fly.
-[screams]

[Sofia] Whoa!

I know what you're thinking.

Can I fly any faster?

That wasn't
what I was thinking.

-Watch this.
-[yelps]

[Sofia groans]

[Sofia whimpers]

I've never seen someone
ride in the front like that.

-But you do you.
-[groans]

That was a little bit more, uh,
wild than I'm used to.

That's the way I fly.
Fast and wild.

It's right there in my name.

Wildfyre.

[neighs]

This is the Charmswell
flying derby course.

Now let me walk you
through it,

'cause it's a little tougher
than the course at your last school.

First you have to fly
under Brickstone Bridge.

Then you have to make it through
the tangle of trees

in the Pillow Willow Grove.

You'll need to weave fast in order
to avoid the soft, comfy blossoms.

They'll slow you down
if you hit them.

The last tricky spot
is the hardest,

the Swinging Sparkle Stars.

They look pretty
but pack a glittery punch.

You have to fly super fast
to avoid them.

-That looks...
-Amazing.

You ready to fly, Princess?

Uh, sure. But would you mind
wearing a saddle?

I told you, I don't fly
with a saddle.

But Minimus always wears one,

and I was
slipping off you before.

So, maybe a saddle
will help with that?

Okay, Princess,
I'll give it a try.

[laughing]

All right, Princess.

Mount up!

What's so funny?

Saddles tickle me.

[laughs] That's why
I don't wear them.

All right. Are you ready?

Because time starts now.

-[continues laughing]
-[groaning]

Your laughing is
making me bounce!

[giggling] Your saddle
is making me laugh.

Wildfyre, watch out!

-[water splashes]
-[giggling]

[laughing] Sorry, Princess.
I know it's not funny,

but I'm just
too tickled to stop.

Saddles never tickled Minimus,

but I guess
we can take it off.

-[laughs] Thank you.
-Whoa!

Ah, that's better.

-Whoa!
-[thuds]

If you want,
you can hold onto my mane

-to keep you from falling off.
-[yelps]

It would be easier
if you just flew a bit slower,

like Minimus did.

I don't know how flying slower
is gonna win us races,

but I'll try it
your way, Princess.

All right, now,

go!

[brays]

That slow enough for ya?

Perfect.

[sighs]

-[groans]
-[gasps] Watch out for the pillow-willows.

[neighs] I'm not worried about
the pillow-willows.

I am worried we're not going
fast enough to make the team.

Oh.

Okay, we can go
a little faster.

All right. Get ready to fly
the Wildfyre way.

[Sofia] Whoa!

[groans] Wait,
I'm slipping off again.

Try wrapping your arms around me
or squeezing tighter with your legs.

But I didn't have to do that
with Minimus. Whoa!

[groans]

I'm sorry, I can't stay on.

It's just so different
than riding Minimus.

I know it's not the same
as what you're used to...

[♪ upbeat music playing]

But all I'm asking is
that you give my way of flying a chance.

♪ You flew with your other horse
a mighty long time ♪

♪ I know I got
a lot to prove ♪

♪ So all I ask is
you try to keep an open mind ♪

♪ And let me get us
into a groove ♪

♪ Fly like me
with a little bit of flair ♪

♪ Fly like me and feel
the wind in your hair ♪

♪ If you try it my way
I think you'll see ♪

♪ You just gotta fly like me ♪

♪ But your style
is just a little wild for me ♪

♪ Is going slower
too much to ask? ♪

[laughs]

♪ It is if you wanna
earn a spot on the team ♪

♪ 'Cause the only way
to do that is to fly super fast ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ And neither of us
wanna be last ♪

♪ Fly like me ♪

-♪ With a little bit of flair ♪
-Whoa!

♪ Fly like me and feel
the wind in your hair ♪

♪ If you try it my way
I think you'll see ♪

-♪ You just gotta fly like me ♪
-Whoa!

♪ I'm tellin' ya ♪

-♪ You will never feel so free ♪
-[screams]

♪ If you only fly like me ♪

-♪ You just gotta fly like me ♪
-Whoa!

-[groans] Ahhh!
-[splashes]

I'm sorry,
but if you can't complete the course,

I can't put you on the team.

[♪ somber music playing]

Let's go again.

I tried it your way,
but I still fell off.

Well, you sorta tried.
But if you also squeeze--

It's okay, Wildfyre.

Maybe we're just not meant
to fly together.

Oh...

All right, then.

[sighs]

Are you okay, Sofia?

Not really.

-[neighs]
-I miss flying with you.

And Wildfyre is just too wild.

Well, you shouldn't
be surprised.

Wild is right there
in her name.

But I gotta say,
the horseshoe is on the other hoof now.

What do you mean?

I mean, you're going through

what I went through
when we first started flying together.

I was so worried
about going too fast and flying too high.

But when I finally did things your way,
it was great and we won all those races.

-Those were the days.
-They were.

But now you have
to fly with Wildfyre.

So I have to ask, were you
really giving her way a try?

[sighs] No.

I was just wishing
I was flying with you.

But you're right.
At Charmswell, Wildfyre is my horse.

So I'm going to
try it her way. For real, this time.

That's my Sofia.

Thanks for being there
for me, Minimus.

I'm always here
for you, Sofia.

Now, if you don't mind,

-I'm gonna go take a nap.
-[giggles]

-Wildfyre
-[Wildfyre] Over here.

When we first met, I was sad
that I wasn't flying with Minimus

because he and I are
such great teammates and friends.

So I didn't really
try it your way.

But now I'm ready
to fly like you.

Really?

Yes. But I still don't know how
I'm gonna ride that fast without slipping.

Well, I was trying
to tell you before.

If you wrap your arms around me
and squeeze your legs real tight,

I'm pretty sure you'll stay on me
no matter how fast I fly.

If that's what it takes...
[grunts softly]

...then let's fly!

[neighs]

-Whoa!
-[brays]

I guess they're back.

-Whoo-hoo!
-[splashes]

[laughs]

You okay back there?

More than okay.

-Wildfyre!
-You need me to slow down?

No. I need you to go faster.

Now you're speaking
my language.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa! That was fast.

-[giggles]
-[neighs]

You two just set a new record
for the fastest time on the course.

We did?

-Of course we did.
-[giggles]

Welcome to the
Charmswell Flying Derby team.

Yes! I may not be Minimus,
but I think I'll make a good teammate.

And friend.

Way to fly, Sofia.

Thanks, Minimus.

Hey, Wildfyre.

You want to do the course again
and try to beat our record?

Hop on, Princess.

[both] Let's fly!

[Zane]
"The Green-Eyed Monster."

-Aw.
-That Dazzleball game was a disaster.

-I really thought we were going to win...
-[yawns]

...right up until we lost.

Well, we tried our best,
and you can't win them all.

But I want to. [groans]

Hey, how about I cheer everyone up
with my magic mandolin?

When I play a happy tune,
the magic makes everyone happy.

-Yes, thank you.
-I could use some Zane-i-ness.

Please.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

-Amazing.
-[chuckles] There you go.

[laughs]

[giggles] Yeah!

Thanks, Zane.
I'm feeling much happier now.

Me too.

That's why they call me
the Prince of Pep.

[bell rings]

Ooh, time for potions class.

I can't wait to see
what Mr. Cedric's brewing up today.

Good morning, class.

Today I will be showing you how to brew
a Super Strength Potion.

Now, pay attention,

these are the ingredients.

First, you add a pinch
of mighty moss,

then some essence
of dragon fang,

and finally mix in some
worm root for flavor.

[chuckles]

Voila!

Super Strength Potion.

How super is
the super strength?

I am glad you asked.

Behold!

-[all gasp]
-Cool!

Is that super or what?

-[clears throat]
-Uh, yes, Zaria. Do you have a question?

More of a suggestion.

If you add two drops of ogre sweat,
you'll have a super duper strength potion.

[students gasp]

-[students clapping]
-Brava, Zaria. Brava,

I dare say you'll soon be
good enough to brew something

out of my special book
of supreme potions.

[sighs] Hmm.

The Pretty Emerald Elixir is
one of my personal favorites.

Only the most talented potion masters
can brew the potions in here.

But something tells me
you'll be up to the task in no time.

Uh, I can make
just as good a potion as my sister.

Oh, really?
Well, then, be my guest.

Now? [hesitates] Okay. Let's see.
You just add some jiggle vine juice,

A ball of elven earwax and...

some of this stuff.

-[gasps]
-[coughs]

Now I just pour
a little on my hand...

and I have super strength.

[grunts]

[chuckles nervously] I...
I said super str-- [grunts]

[straining]

-[bell rings]
-[Zane grunts]

Ooh, thank goodness
it's lunchtime.

Zaria, excellent work today.

-That was amazing. Zaria.
-Can I carry your potions for you?

Are you okay, Zane?

Not really.

Zari is so good at potions.

And I just messed up
in front of the whole class.

It's hard to be the brother
of such a talented princess.

[Zane] Check it out, Sofia.

The Pretty Emerald Elixir
turns any object into a sparkling jewel.

And it's one of
Mr. Cedric's favorites.

I'm going to brew this potion
and show the whole class

I can be
just as great as Zaria.

I don't know, Zane.

Mr. Cedric said the potions
in this book are really hard.

It'll be fine.

I just gotta
follow the recipe.

Let's see.

A dash of sparkle flakes,
two moon lily petals.

I like the look of that.

What's next?

Three Mossy Mushrooms.

Ooh, I bet if I add twice as many,
it'll make the emeralds twice as sparkly.

I'm not sure you should be
changing the recipe, Zane.

This will work, trust me.

And finally,
one drop of Glitter Goo.

Why use one drop
when you can use the whole bottle?

Is it supposed
to glow like that?

Well, yeah. The brighter the potion,
the more dazzling the emerald.

[gasps]

[growling]

Uh, what's that noise?

The sound of an
emerald growing?

[grunting]

Emeralds don't have
big, gooey faces.

[grunts]

Ahhh!

[growls]

Why are you so grumpy,
big guy?

Look out! [grunts]

No, wait! If anyone sees
I made that Goo Monster,

they'll know
I messed up the potion.

Then we better catch it.

Come back, Goo Monster!

-No, don't go in there!
-Hmm?

Hmm. [chuckles] Hmm!

-[roars]
-[girl screams]

[gasps] Merlin's mushrooms!

Where did you come from?

[grunts, chomps]

[chomps]

So much for
no one finding out.

Never fear, students.

I know just the spell
to get rid of this menace.

-[roars]
-[groans]

Oh, how dare you!

-[grunts]
-Sorry, Mr. Cedric.

I may have accidentally
created that Goo Monster.

Well, I would appreciate it
if you un-created it immediately.

I can make it vanish
with a Goo-Be-Gone potion.

You carry
a portable potions kit?

How absolutely wonderful.

I expect no less
from my best student.

If you think that's great,
watch this.

-Hey!
-Zane, wait.

Okay, Zaria said she had everything
she needed for the Goo-Be-Gone potion

in here, so I'll just mix
everything together.

This is gonna be good.

-Hey, Goo Monster!
-[slurps] Huh?

Chew on this!

[grunting]

-[gasps]
-Zane, you brewed a Goo-Be-Two potion.

Now the Goo Monsters will keep
splitting into two unless we stop them.

[Goo Monster growls]

We can still brew the Goo-Be-Gone potion
to get rid of them, right?

Yes, but Zane used
all of my ingredients,

so I'll have to go back
to the classroom to get more.

Oh, I can help you.

That's okay.
I'll take it from here.

-Zane.
-She's right, Sofia.

I'll never be as good
as Zaria at potions. Or anything, really.

She may be good at potions,
but you're good at plenty of other things.

Like playing the mandolin
and cheering people up.

Why do you think they call you
The Prince of Pep?

Because I'm always
goofing around?

Because you're a great friend.

You cheer us up
when we're down,

and that's what
makes you amazing.

I think that's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me, Sofia.

-Thanks.
-[Goo Monster growls]

-[Zaria] Oh, no.
-That's Zaria.

[growling]

Okay, let's see
what you've got.

[snickers]

[growls]

Well played, Goo Monsters.

-[gasps] They split into two again.
-[gasps]

Get away from my sister!

[grunting]

[both grunt]

I think
you made them grumpier.

-[Sofia] Zane!
-[gasps]

Don't swing your mandolin,
play it!

Oh, yeah. Maybe a happy tune
will make them less grumpy.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[chittering happily]

Hey, these guys
got some moves.

Now that you've got
their attention,

can you lead them outside
so Zaria can brew the potion?

I sure can.
Follow me, Goo Monsters.

[grunts]

-[students screaming]
-Do the Unicorn Shuffle.

[chittering, whooping]

Now it's time
to do the Sparkle Snail Slide!

[grunting]

Jiggle Vine Juice,
two Mossy Mushrooms, frog spit!

[frog croaks]

There. It's ready.

You take the two on the left,
I'll take the two on the right.

-[both grunt]
-[groaning]

[crowd cheering
and applauding]

-Nice brewing.
-[clanks]

[Zane] Zaria.

I'm sorry I messed up
and made a Goo Monster.

Four Goo Monsters.

Right, four.

It's just that you're always
so amazing at everything,

I wanted to be
as amazing as you for once.

Zane, your mandolin playing
saved me and the school.

I've never been so amazed.

See? You're both brilliant
in your own special way.

The Potions Master
and the Prince of Pep.

Speaking of that,

who wants to have a Goo-Be-Gone
dance party at Castle Merryweather?

-Yes!
-Yeah, Prince of Pep!

[all cheering]

It feels like
we're forgetting something.

Maybe it'll come to us
at the party.

Hello?
Can anyone hear me?

Merlin's mushrooms.

[gasps]

[grunts]

My heroes.
