Valley Cruising

"Valley Cruising" is the fourth episode of Butterfly Valley (1998 series). Unlike the first three episodes, this one has an original story not directly lifted to any episodes of the 1969 series.
==Synopsis==
Engines running, wheels rolling, cars roaming, everything rides around Butterfly Valley with the latest innovation, the "Fairymobile." This vehicle can run with just fairy magic and has sold over a hundred-thousand units in a mere month, but the trolls wanted to make a copycat that could oversell the vehicle in a few weeks…
==Plot==
The episode starts with a close-up shot of a pink flyer advertising a new vehicle called the "Fairymobile," which can run with fairy magic. A butterfly fairy, who is carrying a goods-filled basket, passes by the flyer but turns back to notice it.
Meanwhile in the twins' house, Petunia is playing with toy cars in the living room when she notices her mother cleaning a pink sports car. She wonders how to drive a car and goes to a bookshelf to read a automotive magazine.
Rose came to Petunia and sees a page detailing driving tips. She notices an advertisement of the Fairymobile, which claims that it has sold for over 800,000 units in one month. The twins a bewildered by the amount of units the vehicle sold and wondered if they could have their own Fairymobile.
The twins decided to visit Butterfly Valley with the magic flower and found themselves at a car workshop. They notice several parked Fairymobiles and wondered how did it sold 800,000 units in one month. They look at a placard advertising the Fairymobile, claiming that it runs with fairy magic and that everyone will love it.
The twins head to the workshop and greet the receptionist before they meet Brett the butterfly fairy mechanic, who has been fixing the engine of a green-striped Fairymobile. A butterfly fairy  enters the workshop to retrieve her vehicle and pays Brett $1,500.
Rose asks Brett if she and her sister can have their own Fairymobile, but he replied that they do not have driving license and they cannot afford one due to their young age. However, he gives them a small toy replica of the Fairymobile and the twins left the workshop after thanking him.
Meanwhile in the troll palace, two troll guards track on many Fairymobiles in the computing room as another troll guard came in to show them a new invention which is called the "Troll Stroller." Despite one troll guard claiming that it has better engine than the Fairymobile and the fact that it looks so perfect that it can outsell it in a few weeks, this vehicle runs with a rather weak V2 engine and it appears to look rusty and unfinished.
King Boogieman came in to inspect the Troll Stroller and tells the troll guards to fix the vehicle. Just when he left, the troll guards began to adjust the Troll Stroller, including surface polishing, window replacement and engine upgrade.
Meanwhile near the Celestial Palace, the butterfly fairy guards present the Fairymobile to Princess Butterfly, who is impressed by its design and engineering. She takes a drive test with it and she likes its speed and lightweight cushion seating.
The troll guards spy on the Fairymobile with Princess Butterfly inside it, seeing that it works well, then one of them tells the other troll guards to switch the Fairymobile with the Troll Stroller.
The Fairymobile began to sell more than 1,500,000 units in two months. The Butterfly Valley Racing Team adopts the Fairymobile as their racing vehicle for the year's forthcoming Butterfly Trails Grand Prix and the local news station uses Fairymobiles rather than trucks to carry its studio equipment.
The troll guards bring the Troll Stroller next to the Fairymobile as Princess Butterfly prepares to attend the Royal Butterfly Meeting. She walks down the stairs and notices the Troll Stroller in place of the Fairymobile, confusing her whilst the troll guards laughed at her, but when she inserts the ignition key into the slot, her Magic Crystal flashes and the Troll Stroller disappears, causing her to fall on her bottoms.
Princess Butterfly transports the Fairymobile back to its original spot and drives on her way to the meeting. The troll guards return and notice the Troll Stroller has disappeared. 
Meanwhile in Bluebell's house, a commercial break begins to show an advertisement of the Fairymobile as Bluebell walks downstairs with her backpack in preparation for school and notices something on TV. Her mother, who is only seen up from her neck, informs her that the school bus will arrive soon, but she also notices the commercial and thinks about buying one.
The Fairymobile began to sell more than 4,000,000 units in five months, but the trolls began to turn the Fairymobiles into the Troll Strollers at a car show and in an automotive convention, in hopes of outselling the Fairymobile.
Before she returns from the meeting, Princess Butterfly noticed that her new Fairymobile is turned into a Troll Stroller, then another attendant walked by and also noticed his Fairymobile turned in another Troll Stroller.
Back in the Great Troll Palace, King Boogieman and Queen Peregia are presented their brand new Troll Stroller and a troll guard informs them that the vehicle has "sold" 5,000,000 units, much to their delight.
Not long after five minutes, the Troll Strollers begin to behave very strangely, as they move by themselves bounce across night markets, drive in circles, playing loud rock music and honking too much. Princess Butterfly manages to get out of the Troll Strollers and saves the meeting attendant from another one. She them reverts the Troll Strollers into Fairymobiles.
The twins notice a Troll Stroller roving towards a panicking butterfly fairy and try to stop it, but it began to chase them around the valley. The Troll Stroller is stopped by non other than Princess Butterfly, who then presents a broken pipe to it and throws it, causing the vehicle to retrieve the pipe to her. Princess Butterfly soon reverts the Troll Stroller to a Fairymobile before heading to the car show and finding more Troll Strollers attacking butterfly fairies, reverting them to their prior forms.
The car show attendants thank Princess Butterfly for saving them as the twins came into the now-devastated convention center. They help clean the place up with their new powers and Princess thanks them for doing so. Rose and Petunia soon take a quick trip around Butterfly Valley with a Fairymobile, which they enjoyed it. Afterwards, they bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and use the magic flower to return home.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards report to King Boogieman and Queen Peregia that the "units" sold for the Troll Stroller has dropped down to zero, much to the annoyance of the monarchs.
In the twins’ house, Rose and Petunia present their Fairymobile toy model to their parents, which Rose tells them that Brett the butterfly fairy mechanic gave them that, but the twins' parents do not know who Brett is, so Rose tries to explain about Brett to them, but Petunia helps her by quickly telling them about him. The twins' parents are impressed by the toy model, then Petunia asks Rose if she wants to play a toy race with the toy model and she accepts it as the episode ends with the twins going upstairs after bidding farewell to their parents.
