## Plot

Giggleping is seen eating a pizza and goes to wipe her face clean, but she finds she’s using a newspaper scrap with a story of Hye-Joo on it. She thinks twice about what she’s done, dreaming of one day meeting the popular songster. She hears Hye-Joo's song “Hi” nearby and finds her dancing along the sidewalk towards her! She takes notice of the Teenieping and greets her, calling her cute. Thinking it’s a dream, she realizes it is as it’s revealed to be a disguise performed by Wannabeping!

Giggleping praises Wannabeping’s abilities, but comments that she should try to transform into someone more popular, with Wannabeping thinking of someone pretty popular...

Meanwhile, Romi is seen struggling with writing something for school: it’s Father’s Day the next day, and Romi needs to write a letter to her father and read it in front of her class, but she doesn’t know what to write. The Royal Teeniepings bring up that her father is actually well revered; he’s the King of the Emotions Kingdom! But in some ways he doesn’t carry himself like one: he leaves dirty socks around the kingdom which doesn’t please his wife. Sarah comes in and tells Romi that she has a visitor!

At the door of Heartrose Bakery is “King Heart” himself! Romi’s delighted to see him, but before he can enter, Romi’s Teenieping Alert starts to ring, and she realizes that a Teenieping might be nearby. Per Giggleping, she advises “King Heart” to say that Dr. Monziu said the Teenieping Alert might be broken, but Heartsping tells him it’s been a while since he’s shown up. When Dadaping asks how he knew it was broken, “King Heart” tells him it was because of his magic; he sensed that this happened, which convinces the Teeniepings enough to let him take the Magic Catcher and “Magic Bell” so it can get fixed, placing inside of a briefcase. Giggleping mistakenly makes “King Heart” repeat that Romi’s magic is the best, which makes her tug at his hair, making Romi curious as to what’s going on. “King Heart” says that he should leave as soon as possible to get Romi’s props back to the doctor, but Sarah invites him in for tea. Romi forces King Heart in to allow him a chance to relax and spend some time with her.

Ian serves Romi & “King Heart” some tea and compliments Romi about her being around the bakery. “King Heart” thinks about leaving, but Kyle serves him a strawberry cake that Sarah wanted him to have. “King Heart” waves to her, but his left hand suddenly turns pink, meaning the transformation is starting to break! Kyle comments that Romi looks just like her father, with Jun disagreeing saying that she looks more like her mother, but upon checking the eyes, Jun agrees. The group advises that “King Heart” bring Romi’s mother along to visit, to which he reluctantly agrees. He asks for the bathroom to get something sorted out...

“King Heart’s” disguise wears off which confuses Giggleping, but Wannabeping addresses that the disguise only lasts for three minutes. Giggleping is frustrated for only now mentioning it, while Romi asks if he’s okay. After flushing the toilet, “King Heart” appears again and is advised by Romi that maybe he felt sick from eating too much, noticing that his gut is a lot thinner! “King Heart” retreats to the bathroom again, the transformation disappears again which frustrates Giggleping even more because of the flaw in the transformation. Wannabeping tries again and exits the bathroom, but he’s taken on the body of Dr. Monziu, surprising Romi! He leaves Heartrose, shocked about what’s happened, and bumps into Jun, causing water to spill, confusing him and Kyle.

The Royal Teeniepings arrive and wonder if this was Giggleping’s trickery again, with Dadaping advising to use the Magic Catcher, but Romi can’t since she gave it up to “King Heart!” Romi then thinks of a new plan...

“King Heart” has run far enough from Romi and the bakery so that the transformation can stop, and Giggleping proudly declares that she’s stolen the Magic Catcher & Teenieping Alert. But before she can do anything, Romi and the Teeniepings arrive on the scene! Confused about how they were able to find her and Wannabeping, Romi tells them to check the floor: there are footprints left behind by “King Heart” from the water that he spilled earlier bumping into Jun.

The Royal Teeniepings seize Giggleping to try and get Romi’s things back, but she slides the Catcher to Wannabeping, who runs away. The Teeniepings chase her down, but she throws the Catcher back to Giggleping; the Teeniepings all try to jump and catch it but each of them fail. When Giggleping is seen trying to get under the Catcher to claim it, Dadaping jumps up, makes the catch and crashes into Giggleping, passing it to Heartsping and allowing her to throw it to Romi so she can transform with Dadaping into Princess Cloudia.

Upon transforming, Giggleping tells Wannabeping to transform into Princess Cloudia herself, so she does. The transformation confuses the other Teeniepings and they’re stuck wondering who’s who. This gives Giggleping a chance to leave, but the real Romi whacks her with the Heart Wing Staff, stopping her in her tracks. Giggleping demands Wannabeping trick her some more, so she tries to disguise herself as King Heart again, but Romi quickly figures out it’s a fake based on how thin he looks and refers to himself as “Papa” when he convinces her to come home again. The transformation wears off and Wannabeping asks how she knew it was a transformation, which dumbfounds the other Teeniepings, with Dadaping informing that she scored last place in a tournament. Romi catches her after telling her she transformed right in front of her, which surprises Wannabeping, calling her a genius.

Giggleping leaves after Wannabeping was caught, but Romi lets her go, saying that she’s actually happy she got to meet her father so that she could write her letter to him.

2. ↑ The Teenieping Alert.
3. ↑ The Teenieping Quiz: it’s a tournament that measures a Teenieping’s intelligence.
