Sofia becomes fascinated with the idea of a princess's life and wishes upon a magical amulet that she could become one. Much to her surprise, her wish comes true as the amulet starts glowing.

Soon after, Sofia is transported to the royal castle where she meets the King, Queen, and their two children, Princess Amber and Prince James. Sofia is thrilled to be living in a castle and excited to learn everything there is to know about being a princess. However, she quickly learns that it's not as easy as it seems as both Amber and James make it clear that they do not want Sofia there.

Despite their animosity towards her, Sofia tries to befriend Amber and James. She soon learns that James is struggling with his own issues, as he's set to compete in a flying derby but doesn't have the confidence to participate. Sofia offers to help him, but he's too embarrassed to accept.

As the day of the flying derby approaches, Sofia realizes that James needs her help more than ever. She decides to take matters into her own hands and enlists the help of one of the castle's royal advisors, Cedric, to teach James a secret spell that will help him win the race.

On the day of the derby, Amber and James are surprised to see Sofia cheering them on. During the race, James struggles with his confidence once again, but he remembers Sofia's words of encouragement and decides to use the secret spell. To everyone's surprise, James wins the race, and Sofia is overjoyed.

In the end, Sofia realizes that being a princess isn't just about living in a castle and wearing pretty dresses. It's about helping others and being there when they need you the most. She also learns that Amber and James, though they may be difficult at times, are still her siblings and that they will come to her aid when she needs it.

Overall, the first episode of Sofia the First sets the stage for the series and introduces viewers to the show's main characters. It's a heartwarming tale of friendship and family that's perfect for children of all ages.
