3rd person P.O.V:
They stopped at the moat. They hopped out they could see their luggage already waiting on the other side. The castle looked exactly how there little model looked like.

"Uhh, where's the drawbridge?" Hugo questioned, while helping Sofia out, then proceeding to help Vivian.

Sofia giggled, going to the dolphins at front, before turning around and answering ,"we don't have a drawbridge because we said that we would ride the dolphins, remember?"

"What when did we say that?!" Hugo fretted, almost forgetting that Vivian was using him to keep her balance while getting out of the carriage.

"Ohh right, we agreed on it during lunch before, you weren't there, we must've forgotten to tell you, sorry Hugo," Vivian apologised, gaining her balance before fully getting off the carriage.

"Well what are we waiting for, come on don't you want to see what it looks like from the inside," Sofia called, already getting ready to hop on one of the dolphins.

The others followed her footsteps also meeting with a dolphin, ready to cross to the other side, Hugo got on a deep blue dolphin, while Sofia got on a purple one and Vivian got a baby pink dolphin. It was a very quick ride from one side to the other they got off, thanking the dolphins before proceeding with exploring. The doors opened on their own, enchanted to do so, they entered and were lead to a set of two stair cases.

The entrance was decorated with lavish antiques. The floor had been carpeted in a maroon, while the walls where a navy blue, and the furniture a purple, patterns covered the walls and furniture. The decorations, like cloths, that were scattered on the tables and coaches held the crest that they had created not to long ago, there was even a huge one atop of the stair case. They climbed up the marbled stairs and cling to the gold railing, their luggage somehow following them, they marvelled at their surroundings heads circulating like owls. They reached the first floor two windows at the very end signifying that that's where the corridors ended there were 6 doors on each side, since it was not a real castle it had only two floors.

They walked down the left hallway, and saw their names printed on their doors. Hugo's was the last one at the end while Sofia's was in front of his and Vivian's next to hers. They entered and left their stuff near the door, each room had a bookshelf with a desk, the girls had a mirror table with a some jewellery in the draws while Hugo had just a mirror. They had a closet on their right side, a little sitting area with an indoor chair swing or a bubble seat. Hugo was the first one to exit his room, Vivian a few minutes after with Sofia as the last one, only seconds after Vivian.

They were walking down the corridor when a loud voice startled them. "Dear campers, haha, well royal prep, you have 20 minutes to explore your castle then you must come back to mass hall for further information on the rest of the days you will be here." Said a female voice which they realised to be Andi's. And so they did just that. They entered the room next door to Hugo's but it was only a storage room, they continued on, the room next to Vivian's was an indoor swimming pool with a swing hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the pool, a few sun chairs directly under the windows shining on the pool and chairs.They opened the door on the opposite end and instantly were lifted off their feet.

"Whoa," cried Hugo, his body was upside down and he was flaying his arms around trying to get back upright. Vivian shrieked, half from panicking half from the excitement, Sofia on the other hand was cool and collected. "Why is there a room with no gravity?" Vivian questioned, trying to find a way down, Sofia crossed her hand in thought before realisation hit her "well, we did put it in our song, in our castle we would float, which we are and the dolphins in the moat, there are definitely dolphins, we'd paint all the towers blue, they are, with a few hints of purple, see?"

"Okay, so we figured out the why, but what about the how, how do we get down and out of here?" Hugo wondered , looking around for a switch or something of the sort to get them down. "Well if we wrote that down in our essay we must've written down how to turn it on and off, right?" Vivian asked.

"Well what was it, I can't remember writing about anything on this ," Hugo said, his face expectant. "Sorry but it wasn't me either," said Vivian shrugging, they both turned to Sofia, her face instantly went into concentration, she racked her brain for anything, she went back to that day, she had made the 'password' based off of something that she loved that was around her, but what, she remembered it was a book but what, her brain had decided it was the best time for her to have a forget. "I-I can't remember," she said her face dropped at her own sentence, "what, you have to, we can't be stuck here forever," Vivian said, panic filling her. "Come on Sofia, I know you can remember, try one more time," Hugo said, worry was all across his face, but in his eyes, there was hope. She nodded before trying again, and then it hit her she breathed in before pronouncing her voice, "The miraculous tale of Venellope." And just like that they safely floated down.

"See, I told you you could do it," Hugo whispered, giving her a compassionate smile. "Now come one we don't have much time left, we have to go meet the others in the hall for the, wait what are we going for again?" Hugo said.

"For like, I think, our activities, and I think miss Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are going to tell us why where here, apart from the reason of experience."

The three finally reached the mass hall and entered, they were greeted by everyone else already in their assigned seats they rushed in and sat, breathing in as much air as they could at a time. Andi, Thomas and Jose walked up onto the stage so that everyone could see them and then they begun.

"Okie-dokkie, so there is an agenda for this excursion, of course there will be "your own time" to do whatever you wish, with permission from us of course if it is to be held outside of your castle for example exploring these fine lands. Now of course you would like to know how your teachers are going to 'assess' you here and they will answer that," commanded Jose, as he gave the spotlight to Miss Merryweather.

"So, children as you might've seen already or about to see is that your castle has a very similar interior as a real castle that is because the time that you will be spending here is so that you act as a real ruler so that when you are older we can help you with what you need to improve on and what you are already aceing as a future ruler this is a very important task for you, so please do take it seriously."

"Now children, there will be one to two tasks per day and with the technology of the SCR it will be able to record your progress and send us the data we need, after that you are free to do whatever you want and enjoy this trip," informs Miss Flora as she walked up and took over miss Merryweather and now Miss Fauna walked up and told the children the tasks they had ", Okay, listen up desires, your tasks that you shall perform over the five days will include hosting a ball, and you shall all attend each other's balls with holograms as other guests, so that's three balls entirely over these five days," the boys groaned at this, but Miss Fauna continued ", you will also go out into your "village" and see how the "people" are doing which will be done with the SCR, as well as agreements with your classmates about goods and shippings. That's is now 3-4 tasks you shall also check the stability of your kingdom and making sure that the kingdom runs smoothly and those are all your tasks. For today enjoy the day and explore your castle, and with permission, the campsite, you are dismissed."

The girls huddled up and talked about arrangements for the  tea ceremony. While the boys headed off to the teachers to ask if they could go and explore the area, of course the teachers let and gave them a map of the entire campsite.

"Okay since today we're free we might as well have our tea party today don't you all agree?" Asked Sofia, while they were walking towards their castles. Everybody else agreed with this and plan to meet up at Amber's castle to go ahead with the plans but first they went to their own separate castles to prepare and get ready.

Sofia and Vivian finally reached their rooms and went to get ready, they went for simple but elegant sun dresses. They linked their arms and walked off, they met Hugo downstairs putting in a water bottle and some snacks, he was dressed quite comfortably, with a light stripped shirt and loose pants.

"Oh, where are you two off to?" He asked, pulling the back pack over his shoulder.

"We're going to ambers castle for a tea party since we didn't have time before our excursion. How about you?"

"Me and the guys are going to explore the caverns, and hike, and just explore in general you know? Anyway have fun, I got to go before I'm late,"

"Okay byeeeeeeeee," they waved him off as he ran out the door. Then they went forward with packing up what they had decided to bring, lemonade and cookies, and macaroons. Then they proceeded to also leave locking up after themselves, waving to the hologram guards.

As they arrived they could see the cute setup that Amber, Clio and Hildegard has made, it was a baby green, lavender colour theme with real lavenders in vases across the long table.They entered and started the celebration, having fun and Vivian got slightly more comfortable and confident with the other girls, they ate and chat and before they knew it they had to go and change for lunch, but before they could Amber stopped them.

"Oh by the way, we're going to hold our ball today because, you know we're really impatient and any chance we have we'll jump to it, so can you tell Hugo so that he can tell James, sundown sharp," she asked them while walking them to their castles gate.

"Of course we will, see you soon!" Sofia and Vivian squealed, and they left, arms linked together and made their way back to their palace.

Once they entered they started getting ready, giggles and fabric here and there jewellery and shoes were thrown everywhere. Finally they had gotten ready and they could see the sun was nearly to go down, and in that moment the boys walked in, fatigue written all over as their body language.

"Oh, you're finally here, Amber's going to have her ball tonight you might want rush because it starts exactly at sundown," Sofia said, as she put down her cup of tea, Vivian nodding as she took a sip of her own tea.

"Ugh, do we have to go?" James asked walking over and slouching down into the couch. The others nodded their head in agreement.

"Yes, remember we're being marked on this," Vivian said twiddling her finger around her necklace nervously. The boys sighed and made their way, waving off as they went.

"Hurry, Hugo we don't have much time left we have to leave soon, I left you an outfit for you to wear, so hurry take a shower, not a bath because we're in a rush, and put it on." Sofia said as she pushed him up the stairs.

"Alright, alright, your royal highness," Hugo exaggerated, with a bow the second he got to the top of the stairs, and walked of while shaking his head, a smile tracing his face. Sofia walked back down to meet Vivian's stare, a very odd one.

"What?" Sofia asked, she cocked her head to the side as Vivian just smiled and shook her head.

Hugo had finished pretty quickly so they had made it just as the last string of sun had disappeared. As they got closer to the doors of the ballroom, they saw more and more holographic people dressed in the fanciest dresses, probably as the theme of the castle was based in a dress and shoes and what not.

As Sofia Vivian and Hugo entered the hall, their names were called out through the loud speakers as the royals of the blue kingdom, and not to long after James, Desmond and Zander entered they were introduced as the protective kingdom, and of course last but not least when amber Clio and Hildegard were introduced, with the most extra introduction with flowers, glitter and streamers falling from who knows where, as the extravagant kingdom. Of course the others weren't surprised at all by this.

The teachers not soon had joined them in the festivities, with a mark sheet in hand they assessed the banquet, and the camp instructors had come along to make sure everything was running smoothly with their gadgets, and then went on to enjoy their nights as well. Laughter filled the air, delicious aromas circled around and music so energetic that everyone couldn't help but dance to, as the night happiness was spread along as this is what was happening. Until...

...she had fallen. And everything just stopped like that. Everyone ran towards Sofia but no one ran as fast as Hugo did. Making sure she wasn't hurt first Hugo picked her up and with the help of James, they carried her into one of the guest rooms that they had at ambers castle. The teachers not following long after them, came to check up on her.

"She'll be fine with some rest dearies no need to worry," miss flora had told the students, while trying to usher them out of the room.

"Miss fauna, I'm going to stay with Sofia so if she wakes up in confusion she won't panic and suffer even more then she should be," Hugo said, desperation clearly visible in his voice, and of course miss fauna took pity on him and let him stay.

After everyone had left, Hugo pulled up a chair beside her and stayed beside her to make sure nothing happened to Sofia.

Sofia's P.O.V:

Roaaaaarrrrrrrr. Is what I heard in the distance as I saw someone who looked  like me but older, she was running with a male I couldn't see their face but that's what was happening.

They ran out of the Forest into the open only to be stopped by someone else, I couldn't see the figure properly but I could tell it was a man, their cackle was low and menacing, I watched as everything started speeding up and skipping parts but what I witnessed was horrifying as I saw the male about to be hit by an sharp ray of magic but before I could see the end result...

Panting I sat up straight, Hugo next to me, jumped awake from his sleep looking lost.

"Sofia are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just had a bad dream, don't worry too much,"

He nodded his head as I went back to sleep, I felt pressure on my hand and saw Hugo holding my hand as he feel asleep. Allowing me to also sleep soundly without any worries.
