See? Riding a flying horse isn't so hard.
Um, amber? We haven't started flying yet.
Do we have to do that part?
Don't you want to learn how to fly it?
It's easy. Just sit up straight,
Then flick the reins...
And yell, "heeyah!"
Okay, saffron.
Heeyah?
( screaming )
Oh!
Oh! Oh...
And boom goes amber.
Good try, amber.
You stayed on longer than i did for my first time.
No she didn't. Ready to try again?
Not if it involves falling again.
( ringing bell )
Lunch is served in the dining hall!
Lunch already? Oh, what a shame.
Guess we'll have to finish my riding lesson later.
Thanks. Mm-hmm.
Are you coming, sofia?
I'll be right there.
It was nice of you to come over and help
With amber's lesson, minimus.
Anything for you, sofia.
( grunting )
Need a scratch?
Ah, yeah. Thank you.
Oh! Ooh, i have terrible wing-ear coordination.
You're the best, sofia.
( giggles ) see you in a bit!
Well, hey there, short, light and purple!
Whatcha doin' for lunch?
I don't know. Eating, probably.
Well, what do you say we grab some oats and get acquainted?
Are you sure you're talking to me?
Saffron: ( giggling ) you're funny!
I'm saffron. What's your name?
Oh, minimus. My name's minimus.
So what brings a horse like you to a stable like this?
Maybe i don't need to ride my new horse.
I could just braid her tail and feed her apples.
Once you get the hang of it, amber,
You're going to love riding.
When you and your horse are soaring through the sky,
Just the two of you, you form a special bond.
Yeah. Sometimes echo knows which way i want to go before i do!
So what do you say, amber? Ready to go back out there?
( groans ) all right. I'll give it one more try.
Minimus!
Saffron!
Echo! Minimus!
Minimus? Minimus?
Hey! Echo's not in his stall! Neither is saffron!
Boy: The horses-- they've gone missing! They're all gone!
Sofia: Gone? What do you mean, gone?
Driver: They broke free of the carriage!
The others are gone too! What's going on?
All the flying horses have taken off, princess!
What? Why?
Well, i don't know. One second i heard
Strange music playing in the distance,
Then the next second, bam! They all flew off!
We should tell constable myles.
So...Only the flying horses are gone?
Yes, constable. Did you see which way they went?
They were heading southeast fast as their wings would take 'em!
It's not like minimus to fly off like that, constable. I'm worried.
Don't you fret, princess sofia.
I'll lead the search party myself.
And we won't rest until we find every last horse.
( sighs ) i wish we could go look for the horses too.
Where would we go?
We could start with sir gilliam.
He knows everything about flying horses.
Maybe he knows where they went.
Yeah, but we can't get to royal prep without flying horses.
True. Sofia, what you need is a distraction,
Something to take your mind off all this.
Lets go to the jewel room!
( gasps ) amber! That's a great idea!
Of course it is. Jewelry makes everything better.
No, no, not the jewelry.
The griffins who guard the jewel room.
They can fly us to royal prep!
Brilliant!
Wait. Are you suggesting we ride...Griffins?
Yup. Stay here. I'll get them.
Princess sofia?
Hi! Hi! So good to see you again!
Rarrrr!
Wow! Jasper, you've gotten so big!
Griffins grow fast!
Look how big i am!
Jasper! Slow down, honey!
So what are you doing here, sofia?
I need your help. And your mom and dad, too.
Cool! Let's go, go, go!
Father: Hold up, jasper.
She hasn't even told us what she needs yet.
He's always in such a hurry.
Ah! Don't!
( chuckles ) how can we help, princess?
Come with me.
All right, you guys, on to royal prep!
Great. I'll take the big one.
Amber, you can ride opal, and i'll ride jasper.
Sofia, we don't have to do this.
The knights are already searching for the horses.
Minimus isn't just my horse-- he's my friend.
I'll do whatever it takes to find him.
Aren't you worried about saffron?
Of course i am. I really want her to get home safely.
But i don't know how to ride a griffin!
I'm sure it's a lot like riding a flying horse.
I don't know how to ride a flying horse either!
It's not hard. Just hop on and hold on to the scruff.
Like this. Okay?
Uh...Okay, i'll go.
But just to royal prep.
Ohh, i don't know about this.
( sighs ) nice griffin.
( groaning ) good griffin.
So how we do take off again?
All right, let's go, go, go!
Amber: No, no, no!
Whoa...!
Sofia: Come on, amber, now you're getting it!
Let's go! Go, go, go
Aaaah!
Oh! Thanks.
Maybe i can fly this thing.
No, i can't!
Okay, follow us.
We're there!
Ohh, finally we can land!
Actually, landing is harder than it looks.
See ya down there!
Oh, no!
Ohh, how do you steer this thing?!
Ohh! No!
Ohh!
Sir gilliam!
Princess sofia! What are you doing here?
Our horses went missing.
So did ours! What?
Every horse in the stable is gone.
♪ ( ethereal music ) ♪ where could they all be?
Listen. Do you hear music?
I do! But where is it coming from?
I don't know.
( gasps ) maybe it's the same music the coachmen heard before our horses took off!
I think you're right. Look!
♪ ( music continues ) ♪
Whoa. They're all flying in the same direction.
Yeah, like they're following the music!
And i bet wherever they're going,
That's where our horses went too!
Let's follow them. Good idea.
No, it's not. I am not getting back on that thing!
The only way to learn how to fly
Is to keep getting back on the horse.
Or griffin.
Or you could just not learn how to fly.
Amber, we don't have time to argue about this.
We're gonna lose the horses.
He's right. We've got to hurry, amber.
Please! Arrghh! Fine.
All right.
Heeyah! Go, go, go!
Please, don't let me fall again.
Oh...!
I should not have gotten back on this griffin, sofia!

Move your hands, amber!
Ohh! Okay-- sorry. Sorry.
I'll...Grab the wings!
Not her wings! Grab her scruff!
Right. Right. The scruff. I-i forgot.
Good job, amber.
The horses just flew into the clouds!
We can still catch 'em. Come on, let's go!
Whoa!
Can you see the horses?
I can't see anything.
Where'd they go? I don't know.
( sofia groans )
Where are the horses?
We lost 'em. Thanks to you.
Don't blame me! I didn't even want to come, remember?
Well, maybe you shouldn't have, amber.
James, stop it.
Amber, you can go back if you want.
We should all go back.
I can't. I have to keep looking.
Haven't we looked enough?
No. I love minimus,
And i'm not going to stop until he's all right.
He really means that much to you?
He really does.
Okay. But where would we even look now?
Uh...I don't know.
I guess we could wait until we hear that music again.
Hey, look! There are flying horses down there!
All right, opal, looks like i need to learn how to fly.
And this time we can't lose 'em.
Okay, opal. Heeyah!
Jasper, i want to talk to those horses.
Can you go any faster?
I thought you'd never ask!

It's okay. But shh! We don't want wendell to hear us.
We can't leave sofia in there alone.
