==Synopsis==
The annual motorcycle racing championship takes place in Butterfly Valley, but the trolls show up to add some madness to the mix. The twins, after participating at a roller skating race in the human world, arrive at the circuit to stop them from littering the place, or the race will be cancelled…
==Plot== 
Today, Butterfly Valley is hosting the seventh annual Butterfly Motocross Championships at the Butterfly Valley Racing Club Speedway. The racers rev their engines as the lights turn green and the gird girl waves her flag. The race begins as they all tie for first place, until the racer in the blue car passes them.
Meanwhile at the community park in Sideview Beach, the kids are having a roller skating race. Mackenzie counts from five to zero and shouts "GO!" to start the race..
Sam is in the lead with Ernie and Chip following him, while Rose and Petunia are at the far back. Petunia grabs Rose's hand and speeds up with her, passing Jessa, Brad and Celia. Petunia eventually took the spot where Sam is, much to his dismay.
The troll guards arrive at the Butterfly Valley Racing Club Speedway and sneak past the butterfly fairy security guard. They snatch some snacks and drinks from the vending machines and enter one of the participating team's garage pit.
Meanwhile at the community park, the kids are tied up at first place until Rose crossed the finishing line head on. The kids, excluding Sam, congratulate her and Mackenzie bestows a homemade trophy to her.
Back at the Butterfly Valley Racing Club Speedway, the racers reach the 40th lap, but the butterfly fairies are unaware that the troll guards appear at one of the pit stops. The cameramen noticed them messing up with the equipment.
The troll guards first pour some oil slicks to make the racers slip across the course, then they throw some banana peels. One racer runs on one and crashes into his opponents. The butterfly fairies soon began a brawl at one of the seats. The commentators thought that the circuit is becoming a junkyard.
While the kids recap the race, Rose walks to a jealous Sam and talks with him. Sam told her that he's upset because she won the race. The other kids wondered where Rose is, so Petunia came to her and she told her that Sam is currently unhappy.
The magic flower in Rose's handbag suddenly glows and Rose tries to find it, but she realized she left it in her bag and calls Petunia to join her visiting Butterfly Valley.
After they bid farewell to their friends, the twins find themselves outside the entrance of the Butterfly Valley Racing Club Speedway. They head to the ticket counter, but he tells them that they must have a ticket to enter the circuit, but only before the start of the event.
The twins felt extra thirsty after rolling along to the circuit, so they head to the vending machine and Rose inserts two quarters, then she asks Petunia which drink she want. She wants to drink basic mineral water, so does Rose, then Petunia though of having some snacks, so she insert two more quartes and chooses a D.I.Y Luncheon for herself and a tuna sandwich for Rose.
Petunia presses the dispense button and nothing comes out. The twins wondered who stole the snacks and drinks, then the troll guards appear with the now-empty snack wrappers containing free tickets to the race.
Rose objects the trolls for stealing the snacks and drinks from the vending machines. The troll guards reluctantly give the twins the tickets, then Petunia traps them with he binding spell and Rose sends them back to the Troll Kingdom.
Rose and Petunia head back to the ticket counter and he finally allows them to enter the circuit.
The twins arrive at the circuit just when the angry butterfly fairies are about to leave their seats. They calm them down with their telepathic spells and Bluebell felt glad that they came to continue the race.
The butterfly fairies help the twins clean the circuit, allowing the race to continue for five more laps. They twins thank the butterfly fairies, who thank them back, for their help cleaning the circuit. At the last lap, the racers finally cross the finish line.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, King Boogieman and Queen Peregia found the troll guards dazed from the twins. One of the troll guards tells the two that they are just watching the race, but King Boogieman told them to clean up the court. As the monarchs left, the troll guards decide to run their own race at the courtyard.
The motocross championship has ended and the top three racers climb to the podium. One of the flag girls presents a peculiar trophy to the winner of the race, who gets drenched in champagne.
Rose and Petunia bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and return home using the magic flower. The kids ran, or rather, roll back to them and Jessa asks about their adventure in Butterfly Valley.
Sam came and apologizes to Rose for being jealous of her. Rose accepts it and they decide to race again, much to the surprise of the other kids as the episode ends.
