At the palace, Princess Sophina had met a lot of handsome men, but she never fell in love with any of them. She was very overwhelmed and wished this night would be over.
"Oh, too many men," Sophina groaned. "Can this get any worse?"
Just then, Roderick and Vincent went over. They were ice-dancing very badly, and Sophina was disgusted with their arrogance and lack of talent.
"Oh, it just got worse," Sophina sighed. "I wish Hugo were here."
Ever since Sir Addams forbade Hugo to ice-dance ever again, everyone in Corona wondered what happened to him. Sophina was hoping this ball would get Hugo to return, but she thought it wasn't working.
Meanwhile, a lot of men were waiting for Sophina when they turned to the entrance and gasped in surprise. At the entrance was a young man dressed in a ravishing blue tuxedo...and that man was Hugo himself.
Sophina saw the commotion and went over to see what was going on. Her blue eyes grew big when she saw Hugo. Sophina just couldn't resist; she went up to Hugo and tapped his shoulder. Hugo turned around and was surprised to see the princess.
"Good marrow, Your Highness," Hugo smiled, bowing before Sophina.
"Oh, call me 'Sophina'," Sophina said. "I've never seen such a handsome man."
"Thank you," Hugo smiled.
"Would you like to dance with me?" Sophina asked, leading Hugo to a bench.
"I'd love to," Hugo said, sitting down.
Sophina removed Hugo's shoes from his feet and put the skates on. Once Hugo's skates were laced up, Sophina took him out on the rink. Sophina and Hugo started ice-dancing, and everyone was astounded by Hugo's talent.
"You're so light on your feet," Sophina remarked. "You must be the long-lost Hugo."
Hugo was very flattered by Sophina's remarks.
Meanwhile Hugo's stepbrothers were very jealous of him, but they wondered who the handsome stranger was.
"Who is he, Father?" Roderick asked.
"Do we know him?" Vincent asked.
"Princess Sophina seems to know him," Roderick replied jealously.
"He's as talented as Hugo used to be," Sir Addams remarked. "You know, there's something very familiar about him."
During the dance, Hugo told Sophina why he quit ice-dancing a long time ago.
"Your stepfather refused to let you ice-dance again?" Sophina frowned. "Shame on him! You're the best ice-dancer in the kingdom, Hugo. You deserve to ice-dance."
Sophina felt bad for Hugo, and she began to sing to him.
You're at this moment
When you must decide
To take a step forward
Or run away and hide
You step on the ice
Though you feel your heart race
And your knees won't stop shaking
You can't find your brave face
But you just gotta take a leap
Throw your doubts away
Take a leap
No matter what they say
Now's the time to let them see
The person you were meant to be
Throw your doubts away
And take a leap today
You spin through the air
And it's like you can fly
The great rush that you're feeling
Is 'cause you gave it a try
That's why you gotta take a leap
Throw your doubts away
Take a leap
No matter what they say
Now's your moment in the sun
And it's only just begun
Throw your doubts away
And take a leap today
Throw your doubts away
Take a leap today!
