## Plot

Near the Star Fate Castle, three Transfer Elves, Buding, Milu and Lubi play and banter. However, a purple butterfly appears, taking them by surprise as it transforms into a purple-haired woman calling herself Queen Fesna, the Goddess of Darkness. She declares her intentions to take something and flies toward the Star Fate Castle. The Transfer Elves realize that her goal was the three Star Gems that adorned the roof of the castle.

With her dark magic, Fesna attempts to seize the Star Gems to give her the strongest powers to further her goals of blanketing the world in darkness. The Star Gems are lifted from their position, and Fesna attempts to combine their power. The Transfer Elves, Buding and Milu, rush to try and stop her. However, her attempt to fuse them together go awry and she is injured by the shattering gems that spews everywhere like a firework, a piece entering her forearm.

Buding and Milu dodges the falling magic, but gives up their attempt to rush Fesna when they notice their timid friend Lubi in trouble. Buding and Lubi decide to escape the disaster by opening a Transfer Gate which they all rush into. As Fesna lay on the ground in pain, the magic subsides and the skies clear up. In anger, she summons Fuke and Pipi, Transfer Elves loyal to her and commands them to chase the three elves down. Within the Transfer Gate, Buding, Milu and Lubi are split up.

In another world, Xia Letong bikes to school on the first day of the school year. However, her mood is soured when a white car speeds past her, splashing through a puddle and drenching her new socks. Unbeknownst to her, Buding bounces off the same car and lands into her open schoolbag.

The car stops in front of the school and Bai Yinyue steps out, commenting in an unimpressed fashion that her new school looks slightly better than she imagined. Letong catches up and demands an apology, but Yinyue walks off, believing Letong’s wet socks has nothing to do with her. Still angry, Letong shouts at her, but is distracted when another student, Yan Keke offers her a handkerchief to wipe her socks with. Letong hesitantly accepts it as Keke asks her if she had a performance ready for the Welcoming Performance, an event held to foster friendships between the students. Keke offers to perform with Letong as a group, but Letong shoots the idea down and quickly leaves, preferring to work alone. Undeterred, Keke psyches herself up, determined to form a group for the performance.

Meanwhile, Lubi sneaks through the school looking for his friends under a box, but quickly loses it when some students accidentally kicks it in their hurry. Lubi falls down the stairs but is rescued by Yinyue, who asks him if he is okay.

Letong makes it to the auditorium and is elated to be the first to arrive for once. Letong takes a sit and a dizzy Buding falls out of her bag, unseen by Letong. Letong grabs a bag of potato chips from her bag but when Buding accidentally brushes her leg, she screams, thinking it’s a mouse. Yinyue sees this, causing Letong to fall into a bad mood. Keke enters the auditorium as well, calling out to Letong, who unenthusiastically waves back, finding her troublesome. Keke notices this, but brushes it off and decides to find a seat.

Milu finds himself in the auditorium and wonders here he is. Above him, Keke tries to find a seat but is indecisive and talks to herself about where she should go. Milu interprets her words as instructions and ends up tripping. He calls out angrily at the person giving him bad directions which causes Keke to notice and pick him up. Keke thinks Milu is a doll. Milu starts to struggle, but is placated when he sniffs the scent of Osmanthus from Keke’s bracelet.

Letong continues to eat her potato chips but one falls to the ground. Buding wakes up and begins eating the fallen chips. With Lubi on her shoulder, Yinyue begins playing the piano on the auditorium stage, and the other two girls also enjoy her performance.

Meanwhile, Fuke and Pipi attempt to track the Transfer Elves, but Pipi loses their scent around the stairs. The pair fall down the stairs as Fuke decide to try instead. He succeeds in locating Lubi’s heartbeat and they find the three Transfer Elves in the auditorium. Letong drops another chip and finally sees Buding when she reaches for it. Upon confirming the presence of the three Transfer Elves, they open the Transfer Gate. The three Transfer Elves are sucked into the Transfer Gate. Yinyue, Keke and Letong end up being sucked through the gate as well. As the Transfer Gate closes, the lights fail and the empty auditorium is plunged into darkness.

The three girl and three elves land near the Star Fate Castle. The girls are amazed at the sights, and the elves are happy to be reunited. They introduced themselves to the girls and the girls are amazed that the three elves can talk. They explain that this place was the Star Fate Wonderland, a place that protects the beautiful hearts of young girls. Yinyue asks what the building they landed nearby was and Buding explains that it is the Star Fate Castle which lie in the heart of the Star Fate Wonderland.

However, they notice a familiar purple butterfly come back and is shocked. The butterfly transform back into Fesna. Keke asks if Fesna is a fairy, but Yinyue notices that she doesn’t look very friendly. Fesna is displeased at the tagalongs and demand that they do not interfere. She demands to know why the Star Gems shattered. Milu retorts that it was her fault that the Star Gems shattered. Fesna demands to know where the pieces are but the Elves do not tell her. The girls begin to realize that Fesna is an enemy and tries to stand up with for their Elf friends, saying they should report her to a teacher or the police. Fesna, angry at the disrespect, waves her fan at them, creating an energy wave of dark magic that sends the elves flying backwards.

Fesna demands the information from the elves again but the elves refuse to give up the information. Fesna charges up her dark magic, intent on forcing the information from the elves. Letong, Keke and Yinyue stand in front of the elves, telling her not to bully the elves. As Fesna angrily continues to charge up her power, the fairies realize that they have to do something. They fly toward the girl they first met and asks them if they were willing to make a contract with them, to become a Balala Fairy. The girls accept and a ring in the shape of the fairies chest symbol appears on their fingers, allowing them to transform into fairies.

Fesna realizes that this was the secret of the Star Gems and demands that they return that power. She casts magic at them a shadow butterfly at them. Lubi urges Yinyue to use her wand and Yinyue casts a barrier that blocks the shadow butterfly magic. Milu urges Keke to use her own wand and Keke does so, but Fesna dodges both her heart-shaped projectiles. Fesna casts another shadow butterfly at them. Buding urges Letong to use her own wand. Letong does so and fires a star shaped projectile which misses Fesna. Fesna smirks but the projectile rebounds and hits Fesna.

Fesna turns back into a purple butterfly and retreats, something falling from where she was. Fuke and Pipi arrive and is surprised with what has happened. Fesna swears to return and the three escape. The fairies heave a sigh of relief and collapse to the ground. They notice something shining in the grass and goes to pick it up. The elves emerges from the fairies’ wand, happy that they have found the Balala fairies. As the glow subsides, the item is revealed to be a pink star-shaped brooch. The elves explain that it is a Star Piece – a fragment of the Star Gems. The three Star Gems were the source of all the magic in the Magic World, but now they have shattered and scattered, turning into Star Pieces. The Star Fate magic has chosen the girls to become Balala Fairies with the mission of finding all the Star Pieces, to restore light to Star Fate Wonderland.

The girls realize that they are late for the Welcoming Performance and the Elves perform the magic to open the Transfer Gate. Before they step through they agree to keep it a secret. Keke wonders if this means that they have become a group and Yinyue resignedly agrees. The girls make back it in time to be the last group. The announcer asks them for their names and Letong and Keke learn Yinyue’s name for the first time and are surprised that she is the legendary top student. The announcer asks for their group name and the girls announce that their group name is “Balala Star Fate Girls”.
