[harmonizing]

Wow, you guys sound great.
That must be the Institute
for Science and Alchemy tent.
Hi, Zandar.
[fireworks whistling]
And the Corinthian
Sports School tent.
It all looks so fun.
And you know about the wall,
don't you?
- The wall?
- Oh, come on, I'll show you.
This is the wall of next steps.
It's a time-honored tradition.
- You write your school choice
on a tablet.
- That sounds interesting.
Then you take the tablet
to the royal chiseler.
And then he carves your choice
of school in stone.
After that, your tablet
is magically put on the wall,
and at noon,
there's an unveiling,
and we get to show everyone
what schools we've picked.
Hmm, which tent
should I go to first?
I know, come with me, Sofia.
Where are we going?
To my favorite tent,
of course.
It's a school where you learn
to be in charge
and tell people what to do.
Hey, Desmond, are you lost?
The Science and Alchemy tent
is back that way.
Well, deep down, I've always
wanted to be a hero.
Wait, are you really interested
in becoming a knight?
- But maybe I should
stick to books.
- Why?
Because I really
don't know the first thing
- about being a knight.
- It's a school!
They'll teach you
how to do everything.
Come on,
let's go in together.
- Brilliant!
- [man] Welcome!
As some of you may already know,
I am Sir Finnegan.
Now, as a former student
of Chivalry Hall,
they've asked me to show you
what this fine school
is all about.
Allow me to demonstrate
the kinds of skills
you'd be learning,
like how to toss a javelin!
[grunts]
- Whoa!
- Amazing.
Now [chuckles] who'd like
to give it a try?
Impressive form,
my knights to be!
Wow, it's like they're already
real knights.
Want to give it a go, lad?
Don't worry, Des,
those two may be good,
but this isn't a competition.
Come on,
what do you have to lose?
[grunts]
Ah, not the best effort,
but if you want
to get better at it,
Chivalry Hall
is the school for you.
Here we are, Sofia,
the school you were
meant to go to.
[sighs]
Doesn't it just feel right?
All the greatest rulers
and their advisors went here--
Grandmum, Daddy--
Oh! And just think,
if you go here,
you can become
my royal advisor one day.
Welcome to the finest tent
at the Royal School Fair.
At EverRealm Academy,
you will learn
how to be future rulers
and advisors, just as I,
King Habib,
did when I studied there.
To show you the kinds of things
you would learn at EverRealm,
we will start by making
a magical coat of arms
for your own personal kingdom!
But how do we know
what to put
on our coat of arms,
King Habib?
Ah, I'm so glad you asked.
Think about three symbols
you would want
to represent your own kingdom.
Only three?
That's tough.
Indeed it is.
As is ruling a kingdom.
Hmm, well, I'd want
my kingdom to have heart,
so...
Wow, okay,
I also can't imagine a kingdom
without family and friends.
I see this in rubies,
diamonds and... pearls.
Perfect.
Very nice, Princess Sofia.
Oh, exceptional,
Princess Amber.
See? Isn't this fun?
Ooh, can't you see yourself
going here?
It is fun, but I could see
myself at other schools, too.
Oh, this is just the tip
of the royal iceberg.
Can you imagine
if we both went here,
the two Enchancian princesses?
- [violin music playing]
- Do you hear that?
I think it's coming from the
Performing Arts Academy tent.
Next up, my young royals,
how to throw a royal ball.
Sofia? Where are you going?
Don't you want to stay?
I just want to check this out.
I'll see you later, Amber.
[violin music continues]
[yelps and gasps]
So this is where
everyone's been hiding.
[laughs]
Welcome, my darlings,
to the Performing Arts
Academy tent!
Oh, I never would have been
as legendary as I am
if I hadn't gone
to this wonderful school.
So grab an instrument.
Join in the music making!
Thank you, but I already know
what school I'm going to.
I'm just here to see a friend.
Cleo, it's time to go visit
our school now,
the School of Royal Fashions.
Our top choice, remember?
Uh, Cleo?
Ha ha!
Magical music is just one
of the very fun things
you will learn at our school.
[lilting music plays]
Ah, excellent, Princess Cleo.
That was so fun.
- A-mazing.
- Whoo-hoo!
I suppose, but I must be going
to my dream school now.
Cleo, did you hear me?
- I'm leaving.
- Bye, Hildy, have fun!
Don't try to stop me.
I'm really going now.
Ohh!
Next I will demonstrate
a dance you will learn
if you come to
the Performing Arts Academy,
the Tangu tango!
[grunting]
Isn't this school the best?
We've got to go here,
you guys.
Let's put all of our choices
down at the same time.
Oh, Sofia,
are you going to join us?
I don't know.
I do love performing.
But I also liked making
my coat of arms.
Jun! I'm going to see
how she's doing.
I'll see you guys later.
Jun, you look confused.
Are you having trouble deciding?
'Cause I am, too.
No, I just can't get
this pen to work.
Oh, there we go.
- You decided already?
- Yep, see?
I'm going to the Science
and Alchemy school.
What about you?
I'm still not sure,
but that's great, Jun.
- I'm happy for you.
- Can I help you, Sofia?
They'll be unveiling
the wall soon.
No, that's okay,
I better get going.
I need to pick something,
and I've got a lot
of tents to visit.
Sofia, I've been looking
all over for you.
Have you decided what school
you're going to choose?
Well... not yet.
It sort of seems
like everyone knows
where they want to go but me.
You've got to pick something.
Time is running out.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
- You have to choose.
- I'm still not sure.
There must be a tent
I haven't tried yet.
What about Chivalry Hall?
James and I are headed
back there now.
Yes! I haven't been
to that one yet.
Show me!
[horse whinnies]
So, what's this school
all about, guys?
Well, this is where we practice
our jousting skills.
Why don't you give it a try,
Sof?
Jousting? Sounds fun.
Yah!
[grunts]
[crowd cheers]
- Way to go, Sofia!
- Yeah, Sofia!
[laughs] Nicely done, Princess.
Have you jousted before?
Uh, no, not really.
Well, you could've fooled me.
Anyone else want to try?
I can't believe you were so good
at that on your first try.
How do you know you won't be
good at it, too?
I know I won't be that good.
The trick is to hold the lance
firmly, like this.
You see? Come on,
give it a try, boy-o!
Yah? Whoa!
Oh, no!
Des, are you okay?
Everyone's better than me
at this stuff,
even other kids
who never tried it before.
Who am I kidding?
I don't belong at Chivalry Hall.
- Come on, Des.
- So much for being a hero.
Looks like it's
Science and Alchemy for me.
[horse whinnies]
What about you, Sof?
Is it gonna be
Chivalry Hall for you?
Eh, it could be, I guess.
Sofia, what are you doing?
The wall unveiling's
going to start soon.
Amber, I know,
it's just how can I choose
between magical music,
enchanted ice dancing, jousting?
Everyone has to decide.
If you don't, you may not have
a school to go to.
But it really seems unfair
to make us decide in one day.
Oh, Sofia, don't overthink it.
This is how it's been done
for years.

-[bell tolling]
- I-- [grunts]
I just don't know, okay?
Hurry, children.
The bell is rung.
The unveiling of the wall
will be starting soon.
Oh,
Sofia's going to miss out.
It would be wrong
to pick for her.
But if I don't
put something down,
she might not have
a next school.
[sighs]
Sorry, again, Zandar.
Des, you can't just give up
on your dream.
[sighs] I'm just facing facts.
Science and alchemy
is my thing.
Being a hero is not.
Come on, it was only
a couple of demonstrations.
Yeah,
if I can't even do those,
there's no way I'll make it
in knight school.
[sighs] Face it, James,
this is where I belong,
where I know what I'm doing
and nothing can go wrong.
Let's go, children,
hurry now, to the wall.
Sofia, I have exciting news.
I know, I know, but I still
haven't picked a school.
Well, then you'll love this.
Because surprise!
I picked one for you.
- What?
- It's already at the wall
waiting to be carved in stone.
Amber, how could you?
Time was almost up,
and you had to put
something down.
I figured since
you had to go somewhere,
the best place was with me.
But I like other schools, too.
Well, you have to pick one.
That's the rules.
That doesn't mean you get
to choose my school for me.
- I need to fix this.
- Sofia, wait!
[crash]
Is there anyone inside
that armor?
Doesn't look like it.
Then how is it dueling?
The only thing
that could possibly cause that
- is a come-to-lifeium potion.
- A what?
It's a potion that makes
inanimate objects come to life.
Some must have spilled
on the armor.
Sofia, look out!
Hold on, Sof, I'm coming!
I'll make a potion to stop it!
Oh, please, let me pass.
Look, Mr. Knight,
there's a tablet
with my face on it
that I really need to find.
Ah! Oh, boy.
Here, take this!
Here, pour this on the armor.
Thanks, guys, I owe you one.
Well done, lads.
Now that was quick thinking
on your part, Prince Desmond.
I didn't do anything.
James poured the potion.
Which you made.
I never would've stopped
that armor if it wasn't for you.
- You're a hero!
- But I'm not a knight.
No one ever said you had
to be a knight to be a hero.
That's right,
you're a hero alchemist.
Indeed, and there is
a long tradition of alchemists
and knights working together
to save kingdoms.
Welcome to the finale
of the Royal School Fair,
the unveiling
of the Wall of Next Steps.
[fanfare plays]
I'm too late.
The curtain, if you will.
Oh, no!
As you can see on our wall,
each member
of our graduating class
has chosen where they will go
after they leave Royal Prep.
So, children, come forward
and see
what your fellow students
have chosen
for their next schools.
Wow, Zoe, you're going to
the School for Adventure?
Well, where else would I go?
Oh, Chivalry Hall.
Way to go, James!
Khalid, you're going to
the School of Royal Fashions?
Surprise!
[gasps]
EverRealm Academy!
Congratulations, Amber.
You're following
in your family's footsteps.
What about you, Hildy?
Oh, the School
for Royal Fashions, of course.
It'll be weird going
to a different school
than you, Hildy.
I know
that you're mad at me, but--
Actually, Cleo,
you made the right choice.
You were born to perform.
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you, too, Hildy.
Sofia, you're going
to EverRealm Academy?
Amazing.
No, I'm not.
Sofia, what are you doing?
But it says so right there.
No, it doesn't.
It does so!
No, Amber, it doesn't.
I didn't choose that school.
I'm going to erase it.
[all gasp]
Children, well,
what's going on here?
Sofia,
what happened to the wall?
I'm sorry,
Miss Merryweather,
but the truth is
I like all the schools.
I don't want to pick just one.
I'm sure this is all
a big misunderstanding.
You had the most fun
with me at EverRealm.
Right, Sofia?
I had fun
at all the schools today.
So? Which school do you want
to go to then?
Sofia, it's a simple question.
It's not simple at all.
That's the problem.
At first, I was really excited
about the fair,
but it's too big a decision.
I don't know
what I want to do.
You know, I'm not really sure
what I want to do either.
- You're not?
- Not really.
I just put something down
so I wouldn't miss out.
Me too.
[sighs] I'm so glad
I'm not the only one.
It's too hard
to decide in one day.
I wish
we didn't have to pick.
Children, please, please.
This tradition exists
for a reason.
There comes a time
in each of our lives
where we all
must make a choice.
But that doesn't mean
your choice has to last forever.
Did you know that
once upon a time,
I wanted to be
a tooth fairy?
- You did?
- That was my first choice.
But after a while,
I found a different path,
and perhaps so shall you.
Ladies?
In keeping with tradition,
you must all make a choice.
But if you're not sure,
you can always change your mind.
So go forth and write
whatever school you wish
on this wall.
And no matter what we choose,
it won't be forever?
Oh, nothing is, my dear.
Sofia, I hope
you're not mad at me.
It's just we're all going off
in different directions,
and I didn't want that
for you and me.
It's okay, Amber.
I know you were trying to help.
But how about next time
asking
before making such a big
decision for someone else?
Great idea.
So which school
are you picking?
Actually, Amber,
I think I'll be happy
with you at EverRealm.
For now.
Yes!
[laughs]
Well, I'm glad that's settled
because it's time to celebrate.
