== Plot ==
The episode starts at Diamond City Amusement Park, where Cricket trains with Mantis as usual on the Diamond Wheel. Cricket's task is to keep his sitting position as still as possible, with the difficulty being raised by the swinging gondola. After the ride has come to a complete stop, Mantis commends his apprentice and alights the ferris wheel together with Cricket. When they were going to get lunch, they saw three people gathering at the table nearby. They were Lulu, Ashley and a familiar looking girl with her hair tied in buns. The new girl catches a glimpse at Cricket and takes a big leap, landing in front of him with a battle stance. She tells Cricket that she saw his latest post on social media about his adventures in Diamond City, which was the cause of his mysterious disappearance. Perplexed, Cricket asks how she knows his name, to which the girl reveals her name as Young Dragonfly, his old training partner whom he used to play Kung Fu Ball with. Young Dragonfly wishes to compete with Cricket in the different trials that he has taken- The Whirling Teacups, The Precious Prancers, The Chromaconda Roller Coaster and Breakneck Falls. Thinking that Dragonfly was an enemy of Cricket's, Lulu cheers him on and tells him not to lose to her for the sake of her love for him, much to Cricket's annoyance. 
When Cricket and Dragonfly compete in the Whirling Tea Cups, they looked into each other's eyes as they tried to determine who would lose their grip on the safety handle. Ashley flies above them on her broom for a better view, sighing at how ridiculous their trials look. Somehow, the two apprentices were able to keep their grip despite having sweaty palms. The first trial was declared as a tie, as the both of them were equally dizzy afterwards.
On the Precious Prancers, Cricket climbs onto Lemonade, his loyal steed. Dragonfly raises an eyebrow at the horse Cricket has chosen, since it had a pink mane, but decides to join him on the same steed, like what Cricket did with Mantis when he first did the trial. As the carousel spun slowly, both Cricket and Dragonfly held onto Lemonade tightly, taking care not to fall off. Mantis watches the both of them intently, using his eyes to follow their movements. Just like before, the trial was a tie, since neither Cricket nor Dragonfly fell off Lemonade. Dragonfly was a bit discouraged about the previous trials, but is determined to win against Cricket, so she rushes off to the Chromaconda roller coaster for the next trial with her partner following after. 
However, since Young Dragonfly had never been on a roller coaster before, she looked at the steep tracks and heard the screams of passengers. She freezes in fear in the middle of the long line. Cricket barely manages to find her in the crowd, so he used his Precious Prancing Pounce to jump to her spot. He tells Dragonfly that it's alright for her to feel nervous about riding on a scary ride for the first time, but Dragonfly denies her fear, thinking that it makes her weak. She jumps closer to the front of the queue, annoying the other customers that were waiting for their turn on the ride. Cricket jumps after her, but Dragonfly wanders away from him and tries to get in one of the cars herself. At the last second, Cricket manages to catch up to her and the both of them ride in the same car together. Dragonfly finally gave in and told Cricket that she was scared, to which the latter responds by reaching out his hand for her to hold. Dragonfly hesitates at first, but as the ride reaches the peak of the lift hill, she held on to Cricket's hand tightly and shut her eyes. The roller coaster eventually drops and starts moving rapidly. When Dragonfly opened her eyes, she started to scream in delight, enjoying the feeling that she was flying. After the ride, Dragonfly was ready for the last trial, Breakneck Falls. This time, she did not care if she was competing with Cricket, as she was having fun bonding with her old training partner at the amusement park. 
Ashley and Lulu decided to join the kung fu duo in Breakneck Falls, since they wanted to watch their last trial. As they got on the log behind them, they noticed that Dragonfly was holding Cricket's hand like before. They then whispered to each other, wondering if Dragonfly secretly had a crush on her training partner. However, before the two girls finished their conversation, their log plunged down the waterfall and drenched them in water. After the ride, Ashley and Lulu saw Dragonfly hugging Cricket and thanking him for spending time with her. Lulu was jealous of Dragonfly, but Ashley was indifferent to the two of them and more focused on getting water out of her dress and hair. When they meet up with Mantis again, the old master told Dragonfly that he admires her determination and is just as capable as Cricket, but she has to work on not giving in to her impulses. Dragonfly nods obediently and hugs Mantis as well. Mantis cracks his back from the tight hug and shrieks in pain, ending the episode.
