The Carnival's Here!

"The Carnival's Here!" is the thirty-sixth episode of Butterfly Valley (1998 series) and the tenth episode of the second season.
==Synopsis==
The carnival is coming to town and the kids are excited to play fun games and earn special prizes, while in Butterfly Valley, the trolls construct some peculiar traps looking like carnival rides for the butterfly fairies, so hazards and dangers are also coming on the way…
==Plot== 
The sun rises over Sideview Beach, with the kids waking up, brushing their teeth and eating breakfast.
They greet each other at the community park and head to the tabletop to discuss something to play together. Sam thought of visiting a nearby carnival, since he saw a flyer promoting it.
The kids agree with him and they went to the Twinklywink Carnival at the Floral Showgrounds. Rose asks the ticket counter if she and her friends can enter the carnival, but he tells them that they must have tickets to enter. The kids, however, have tickets, so they each give the ticket counter two tickets and he gives them ten tokens each to play games.
While Celia rides on the Ferris wheel with her parents, Sam decides to play Coconut Toss, but he missed the target. He tries again and this time, the coconut hits the lucky spot. He won a giant panda stuffed doll as a prize.
Chip and Mackenzie are playing ball toss, where they try to throw the ball to the middle hole. Chip failed to throw his balls to the hole, until Mackenzie ended up winning a point.
Brad tries to make the bar hit the bell with a rather heavy hammer, but he failed twice, then he lets Jessa ring the bell, which she eventually did, much to his surprise.
Rose and Petunia are playing the Duck Pond game, where they must collect rubber ducks (with numbers on their bottoms) and the numbers correspond to the prize. Rose caught three ducks, all which had the number 8 on them. This equaled to 24, which means she received a prize labelled #24, which is a toy camera.
Mackenzie calls the other kids to join her riding on a merry-go-round, but Petunia refuses to go as she stated that she will become sick if she goes on one. Rose taught that she and Petunia can play Whack-a-Mole at the arcade. She tells her friends that she and Petunia are going to the arcade nearby.
Meanwhile somewhere outside Butterfly Valley, the troll guards are finding a place to build a carnival, but they soon got lost in a maze.
A few minutes later, they found the location to build what appears to be a carnival. They try to follow the measurements for the rides and attractions, but they ended up creating a small hut with a small stool.
Back at the Twinklywink Carnival, Rose and Petunia are currently tied in Whack-a-Mole with eight points, then Petunia asks Rose if she wants to play another round of Whack-a-Mole and she accepts it. The round ended up with Rose winning against Petunia with 10-9 points.
The troll guards had completed the "carnival" and put flyers advertising it. The butterfly fairies notice some flyers across their homes and decided to visit the "carnival."
Back at the Twinklywink Carnival, the kids heard the ringmaster commencing the circus performance, so they head over to a large tent to watch the circus performance. They sit down as they watch the acrobats swirl around the fabrics, mechanical animals (not the real ones) dancing and the human cannonball flying through a flaming hoop, which shocked the girls.
Meanwhile at the "carnival" outside Butterfly Valley, Bluebell rides on a merry-go-round, while Plima and Chellie are playing air hockey and Finn smacks the buzzer with a huge hammer. The troll guards then control the mechanics to make the rides go faster, causing huge hazards for the butterfly fairies.
The kids had lots of fun at the Twinklywink Carnival. Celia commented that the circus performance is decent and they fortunately did not use live animals. The magic flower in Rose's pocket suddenly glows, signaling her and Petunia that Butterfly Valley is in danger.
Rose tells the kids to give her and Petunia a minute and she uses the magic flower to enter the forest outside Butterfly Valley with Petunia. They try to find where the trouble happened, until Petunia points out the "carnival," which turns out to be a series of traps.
The twins try to rescue the butterfly fairies from the traps, but the troll guards trap them in a big steel cage. The twins struggle to open the cage, only for Bluebell to figure out the code to set them free.
The troll guards noticed the twins and the butterfly fairies escape and found the now-malfunctioned traps. They decide to return to the Great Troll Palace. They report to King Boogieman and Queen Peregia that the butterfly fairies have escaped from the traps. The monarchs tell them to clean the palace as a punishment.
The butterfly fairies thank the twins for rescuing them, then they hear the carnival promoter announcing the grand opening of the Famous Player's Carnival. Bluebell asks the twins if they want to visit the carnival, but Rose told her that she and Petunia are going back home, so they bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and use the magic flower to return home.
The twins are back from Butterfly Valley and their friends came to them. Mackenzie wondered where the twins went, then Rose explains she and Petunia are at the forest outside Butterfly Valley, stopping the trolls from trapping the butterfly fairies in a fake carnival.
The butterfly fairies gather up for the announcement and the ribbon was cut, causing the butterfly fairies to rush into the carnival, over the carnival promoter.
The carnival promoter gets up and saw the butterfly fairies enjoying the rides and games at the carnival. He shrugs afterwards as the episode ends.
