Plot[]
Sofia and Clover are in a hammock outside watching the clouds when it starts raining. When Clover gets back to his rabbit hole, it's flooded. Sofia invites Clover to move in and they celebrate being roommates. When Sofia wakes up, she discovers Clover has made a mess of her room by having "a midnight snack." When Sofia heads down to breakfast, her parents tell her that Bryce Twigley, a famous artist, is coming to paint portraits of every room in the castle. Meanwhile, Amber becomes obsessed with finding out if she's discovered a new star after Master Erwin tells her she can name it anything she wants. Sofia is starting to get bothered by Clover's behavior and messes. Robin suggests that Sofia make some rules.
The next day, Sofia presents Clover with some roommate rules, much to his dismay. Clover, who's starting to get bothered by Sofia's perfectionist attitude, decides to throw Sofia a surprise party to make her lighten up, but the party gets too wild and makes a huge mess. Clover doesn't listen when Sofia tells him he's the one causing problems and leaves in a huff. Clover soon discovers what Sofia was talking about and how much of an inconsiderate and freeloading slob he's been after he gets booted out of Whatnaught's hollow and spends some time in Rex's doghouse. Meanwhile, Sofia feels guilty for making Clover feel bad.
When Bryce Twigley arrives, he first paints Amber in her room with the telescope. When he visits Sofia's room to get her for a portrait, she sadly starts talking like Clover, to her parents' confusion. After seeing Clover's painting and that she's in it, Sofia goes out to find Clover, to her parents' concern. Upon finding him, they reconcile with each other and get painted by Bryce Twigley. Later that night, Robin tells the pair that Clover's rabbit hole is dry and he can move back in. Clover and Sofia realize that they're not meant to be long-term roommates, though they fix their bad habits, and Clover gives Sofia earmuffs for his snoring. Sofia and Clover celebrate their last night as roommates with a sleepover and Amber names the new star she discovered "Amberina Major".
