Funfair Fury

"Funfair Fury" is the twenty-first episode of Butterfly Valley (1998 series). The plot is loosely based on "The Jolly Juggler", the sixty-fourth episode of the 1969 series.
==Synopsis==
The butterfly fairies visit a funfair at the famous Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk, where Jolly Juggler and his group entertain children and adults alike, but the trolls are up to a no-good scheme with their attempt at their own circus performance. 
==Plot==
The butterfly fairies arrive in Butterfly Harbor and enter the Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk. Bluebell and Spike watch people ride on a rollercoaster, which makes Bluebell dizzy by watching them go up, down and around. Spike caught her as she almost fell unconsciously.
A minute later, with Bluebell recovering, the family grab some snacks from the concession stand. They went to see a circus performance at the Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk starring Jolly Juggler and his group, the Juggler Jamboree.
Jolly jumps onto the podium and announces the opening act of the circus performance, with three acrobats performing impossible gymnastic moves.
The butterfly fairies are impressed with the act, then some butterfly fairy clowns jump off a colorful cannon, which shocked the audience. The clowns bring in some colorful balls and juggle them, but the balls fall over them. However, one of the balls roll into the cannon and turns into confetti and streamers.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards are trying to entertain King Boogieman and Queen Peregia. The first act features a pair of troll guards playing multiple instruments, but the monarchs aren't impressed with their performance, so they were rejected.
The next act has three troll guards using tubes to play music, which somehow impressed the monarchs, so they passed to them. The last act features three troll guards performing some circus tricks involving a medieval cannon.
One of the troll guards inserts a squeaky ball into the cannon, which has some confetti and streamers already shoved in. One of the troll guards whispered that if the trick doesn't work, they will all be rejected.
The troll guards fear that Boogieman and Peregia will reject them, but when they pull the rope connected to the cannon, it shoots out confetti and streamers. King Boogieman and Queen Peregia are impressed with the trick and thought the troll guards should do the "troll cannonball" trick.
The troll guard trio are shocked about this, but the monarchs pressure them to do the trick. Neither of the trio vowed to enter the cannon, but then the monarchs thought they all should enter it.
And so the troll guards are shoved into the cannon as another troll guard comes in to pull the rope, sending the troll guards flying through the ceiling. The monarchs are bewildered by this.
The troll guards land on the roof of the circus tent. The circus performers and the audience wondered about the noise, but the performance resumes.
Meanwhile in Pensacola, the kids are playing around an event named "Bay County Spring Fair". Rose asks her friends to join her riding on a merry-go-round, but Petunia declined, since she will become sick if she goes in one.
Later on, the kids went to the arcade and began to play some games. Chip tries to beat his opponent in a fighting game.
The troll guard trio hide in a wooden crate and spy on Jolly Juggler and the Juggler Jamboree. One of the troll guards unintentionally shifts the direction of the spotlight to himself. The Butterfly fairies, including Jolly and the Juggler Jamboree are puzzled by the moment the troll guard walks onto the podium.
He begins to juggle nine balls, which impressed the butterfly fairies, but then he throws them to a huge cannon, which shoots out a massive burst of light that destroys the tent in the process.
The large impact of the burst somehow managed to destroy the entire funfair (and to the lesser extent, most of the Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk) as the butterfly fairies, including Jolly and the Juggler Jamboree scurry in horror.
The magic flower in Rose's pocket glows, signaling her that Butterfly Harbor is gone apocalyptic. Rose is so worried about this, so she requests Petunia to join her save Butterfly Harbor.
The twins went to the Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk and find the attractions getting destroyed. They try to stop the destruction with their magical barriers, but the impact is so strong, Rose commissioned the butterfly fairies to converge their magical barriers to stop the destruction.
The plan worked and the Boardwalk is magically restored to normal. The butterfly fairies thank Rose and Petunia for their help, then Jolly Juggler and the Juggler Jamboree came and thank the twins too.
Jolly asks the twins, whom he called them "double runners," if they want to have some handful of cotton candy, which he called then "big top's treat," but Petunia stops him to memorize her and Rose's names properly.
Jolly realized this and gives the cotton candy to the twins. Rose and Petunia bid farewell to everyone at the Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk and Rose uses her magic flower to return home.
The twins ended up at the exiting gate of the Bay County Spring Fair and their friends came to them. Ernie asks the twins if they had fun at the funfair in the Butterfly Kingdom and Petunia claims she and Rose are just exploring the Butterfly Harbor Boardwalk.
The kids soon discuss on their experiences at the Bay County Spring Fair at the community park. Celia comments on the circus performance excluding live animals, just the mechanical ones, which makes the kids relieved by this. Petunia suggests the other kids that they can put on their own circus performance and the kids agree with her as the episode ends.
