Synopsis

The Butterfly fairies are celebrating their annual festival, but King Boogieman and the troll guards try to ruin the fun by destroying the decorations and making all the food rot. They are later stopped by Bluebell, who gets to be crowned Miss Fairy for the day as a result.

Plot

Rose and Petunia are playing tag with their friends at the school playground, then they notice some decorations on the school. The twins think that their school is celebrating the National Fairy Festival and they decide to tell their Butterfly Fairy friends about this, so Rose picks up the magic flower and the twins transport to Butterfly Valley.

They were surrounded by many felicitated Butterfly Fairies and try to find their way to Princess Butterfly and Bluebell. They greet the two Butterfly Fairies and Bluebell welcomes them to the Fairy Festival, where they gather

Meanwhile, King Boogieman and the troll guards are spying on the Butterfly Fairies in a bush and sneak behind a stack of cardboard boxes.

Bluebell is getting a slice of strawberry shortcake and orange juice and returns to her seat, then the Butterfly Fairies watch the Beetles perform their hit song "All You Need is Love."

After the Beetles perform the song, the attendants applaud to them as they leave the stage. A Miss Fairy pageant soon took place, with the models walking onstage. This gives the trolls an opportunity to ruin the Fairy Festival.

The trolls begin to destroy the decorations and cast some spells on the food, making them rot in an instant. The Butterfly Fairies are shocked when they notice the festival becoming a complete mess. Bluebell decides to finish the trolls off by herself. She shoots a beam of light at the trolls, sending them flying back to the Troll Kingdom. Bluebell was soon crowned the new Miss Fairy by the previous holder of the title as the attendants applaud to her.

Rose and Petunia bid farewell to the Butterfly Valley and return to their world. They notice that their friends have set up their own festival as a surprise gift, then one of their friends cover their eyes with blindfolds and guides them to the gift. The twins remove the blindfolds and find out that the surprise gift was none other than the Fairy Festival hosted by their friends. They thank their friends for such an amazing gift and they have fun at the festival as the episode closes.
