## Plot

A van is seen driving along the road. We see a man yawn, and sees Shyping jump right out in front of him! He slams the brakes, thinking he almost hit a cat, but Shyping jumps around it. Romi — having transformed into Princess Heart — leaps out of the bushes with Heartsping, and races past the van and after Shyping, asking her to slow down. Romi dives after Shyping but fails to catch her.

Shyping uses her Tinkle Puff and it winds up hitting Heartsping, causing her to become super shy. She’s placed back onto Romi’s shoulder and they try and go after Shyping again. The man, seeing all this, drives off with his daughter in the backseat.

Romi and Heartsping then spot Cindy’s dog Mocha running toward them, urging them to catch it. Romi misses it and Cindy admonishes her, but then a girl enters the scene with a skateboard and a smile on her face! She’s able to catch up with the dog, and uses a park bench to jump up and grab the dog by the leash, and give it back to Cindy, who doesn’t seem too interested in the new girl. Cindy leaves and the girl winks at Romi before leaving with her skateboard, leaving Romi starstruck!

At Heartrose Bakery, Romi tells Sarah all about what’s just happened, but Romi forgot to ask for the girl’s name, and she doesn’t know where she’s from. The girl enters the bakery and meets Romi, asks for directions to 3rd Harmony Street, and introduces herself as Marylou. Romi is happy to help her out.

Romi asks Marylou how she was able to skate that well back when she caught Cindy’s dog Mocha, and Marylou jokes that she knew how to skate ever since she was a baby. A little girl runs over to Marylou and says that their mom said to tell her that there’s food to eat at home. Marylou introduces Romi her as Luca, referring to her as a friend. Marylou tells Romi that tomorrow is her first day at school and she’s a bit nervous but also excited, The two of them leave, and Romi is delighted to hear that Marylou called her a friend.

In class, Mr. Dayne welcomes Marylou and she introduces herself to the class. She mentions that she also owns a taekwondo center and she can get the class a thirty percent discount, which impresses the class. Then, Shyping’s Tinkle Puff comes in and turns Marylou shy! Cindy asks her if, since she knows taekwondo, she can show them how to break a board, but Marylou is too nervous to answer them. Marylou leaves from the embarrassment of it all, with Shyping latching on to her back. Romi sneaks out of class and transforms with Heartsping into Princess Heart.

Marylou is seen in the gym hiding in a dark corner, choosing to stay there for the rest of the day; Shyping supports this since no one would be around to try and embarrass her again. But Romi arrives on the scene and ensures that Shyping will be caught now that she’s turned Marylou into someone she’s not. Shyping then uses her Tinkle Puff to launch basketballs at Romi, with one of them hitting her right in the face. Romi tries to think of a way to catch Shyping but then thinks of Marylou’s skateboard, so she uses her magic to make a skateboard to chase after Shyping.

Shyping tries launching baseballs at her but Romi flips off the skateboard and escapes in time. Romi uses the skateboard on a wall near where Shyping is running along and dodges Shyping’s Tinkle Puff enough to catch some air and cause Shyping to slip and fall to the floor, ready for her to be caught by Romi with her Magic Catcher.

Marylou snaps out of the spell and Romi finds her and lends out her hand to help show the others who she truly is. Meanwhile, Lena, Hani, and Cindy are taunting Marylou about where she might be. Cindy tosses an empty soda can away, but then Marylou kicks the can into the recycling bin from behind them. Marylou tells them that taekwondo is good for them and that she can get them access to her dad’s taekwondo center, and Romi reminds the girls that that’s the real Marylou — walking alongside her with confidence again!
