During the Sheepdog contest, Babe tries to talk to the sheep that he will herd them, but they ignore him. Fly informs Rex if those sheep won't talk to Babe, Arthur is going to be an idiot and she doesn't know what to do about it. Rex then says there's only one way to help him out and he must go back home and promise to be back in time. Fly watches Babe from outside the sheep field as Rex finally arrives and gives Babe the password he received from their sheep herd. Rex then informs her that it's up to Babe. Babe herds the sheep follow his instruction and gets the perfect score and Fly and Rex were very pleased at Babe and they lick each other in triumph while a very happy Arthur says to Babe who sits beside him "That'll do pig. That'll do" and Babe sighs happily.
==Babe: Pig in the City==
Fly is first seen welcoming Babe and Arthur who has returned from a parade in honor of Babe. She’s then seen with Rex near Arthur after he had an accident in the well in parties because of the awkwardness of Babe, who then comes to try to be forgiven near the injured farmer.
When the farm starts to approach bankruptcy, Esme has no choice but to go to Metropolis with Babe to earn money at a fair but the pig hides, always ashamed for what he did. Fly and the other animals will see Babe, hidden under hay to encourage him to go to town because otherwise, the farm will be sold and they’ll all be separated. Finally summoned by his adoptive family, Babe agrees to go to Metropolis. After the pig gets into the Hoggett's car, he asks his adoptive mother why she won’t come so that Fly will answer that she would like but that it’s only him that is asked, before expressing all her confidence in her adopted son because she knows he's a brave pig.
Fly wasn’t seen again until the end of the film, where Babe not only found the money to save the farm, but also brought back lots of new friends who helped him and in addition, Arthur was completely recovered.
