Mrs. Lin asks her family to try her horrified family to try her new cookie that looks like a swirly piece of poop. Mrs. Lin, who had been attending a cooking class, had decided to come up with her own unique recipe after three days and nights to create ‘a work of art’. The family tries it, and says it is delicious, but struggle hide their disgust.

An incident has happened and she must send Noah and Shirley on a mission to aid them. She gives Shirley a Magic Mirror to aid in her mission.

Maggie and Michelle lay in bed lamenting about their mother’s lousy cookies. They cast a spell on the purple bird to place it in a protective barrier to hide its presence from their mother. They decide to name the bird Xiaoxing, because they met it when they saw a meteor (Liu Xing). They lament that they haven’t learned any healing magic and if only Shirley was here. They reminisce about her as they eat Strawberry Chocolate and playfight as Noah and Shirley bickering. During this playfight, Michelle sees the purple gem that Maggie picks up. Maggie explains that she picked it up as a memento.

In the streets at night, Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake appear.

Maggie continues to play with the gem. Michelle doubts Maggie’s story about seeing it glow and explains away the strange phenomenon with rational explanations. Michelle falls asleep and Maggie turns in as well, placing the gem next to the purple bird. Unbeknownst to them, the purple bird absorbs some energy from the gem. The energy, causes the hands of the nearby alarm clock to spin rapidly.

The two girls wake up late the next day and finds their mother’s lousy cookies for breakfast. They try to flee, pleading their lateness, but their mother hands them a packed meal, urging them to share their cookies with their friends. As they leave, Sirius Snake spots the energy of the gem emitting from Maggie’s bag. He grins, but then wonders how he would get down of the pole he is hanging off on. Meanwhile, Mr. Lin leaves in a hurry. Mrs. Lin spots his packed lunchbox still at home.

Maggie suggests using magic to get to school, but Michelle stops her, citing it as a misuse of magic. Michelle leaves in a huff after their argument. Still angry, a green glow overtakes Maggie’s eyes and a parked car starts moving toward Michelle. As Maggie realizes what is happening, she shouts for Michelle to look out, the green glow disappearing. Michelle runs out of the way and the car hits the tree. The shocked girls embrace in fear and relief.

Mr. Lin enters an elevator with his superiors, Mr. Huang and Mr. Chen. However, Mrs. Lin rushes in just as the elevator doors are closing, scaring them. Mrs. Lin explains that she was here to deliver the packed lunch Mr. Lin “forgot” to bring. Mrs. Lin invites Mr. Huang and Mr. Chen to dinner the following night, much to Mr. Lin’s dismay.

Maggie reluctantly shows off the gem in class after Tim spots off. As the bell rings, Maggie realizes that she forgot to do her homework. She leaves class with the notebook. Michelle follows, suspecting Michelle of misusing magic. The girls get into another argument and as Maggie glares at Michelle again, her eyes glow green and all the windows in the hallway shatter.

As they walk home, Michelle says that Maggie has changed. Maggie storms off on her own. She finds herself being followed. Expecting Michelle, it turns out to be Sirius Snake and Sirius Wolf instead. Both transform into their true forms. Maggie transforms as well. Michelle catches up and transforms as well. Just as they are about to fight, Noah and Shirley shows up. Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake try to attack but are repelled by Shirley. Noah decides to investigate the

Mrs Lin has trouble in the kitchen. When she sees Shirley has returned, she runs in slow-motion to embrace her. She begs Shirley for help. Shirley uses her magic to prepare dinner for the Lin family.

Maggie and Michelle find that their mother has tossed out the basket Xiaoxing was in and leave with Shirley to look for the bird. Shirley uses a scanning magic that locates Xiaoxing about to be tossed into a garbage can by a cleaning worker. She stops him with magic and the girls retrieve Xiaoxing. She uses the vial the Green Fairy gives her to heal the bird’s injuries and they take the bird home.

At night, Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake hide in the bushes outside the Lin family house. They see Mr. Huang and Mr. Chen approaching and possesses their bodies. Mr. Lin greets them and invites them in. They spot a picture of Maggie and asks to meet her, to which Mr Lin agrees. The girls are startled by the men’s odd behavior as the pair scour the room in search of a key.

Dinner is served and the family are shocked at the pair’s messy eating habits. Sirius Wolf almost let slips their true identity after getting a little drunk, but was stopped by Sirius Snake. The drunk executives leave in a drunken stupor. Not far from the house, Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake leave their bodies and the executives are left confused about the night events.

Shirley explains to Maggie and Michelle over snacks that she returned on a mission. The Fairy Queen had told Shirley and Noah that Halle was supposed to have been destroyed one thousand years ago. However, the King of Halle had borrowed the Planetary Key from Fairy Castle and solved that disaster. Since that the Planetary Key remained on Halle, with its strong power keeping Halle to its proper orbit. The Planetary Key was guarded by Aisha. However, Aisha wanted to use the power of the Planetary Key to seize the throne of Halle. During Queen’s confrontation, Aisha managed to flee Halle with the Planetary Key. Without the Planetary Key, Halle has started to drift off course. The Fairy Queen believes that Aisha managed to flee to Earth. She tasks Noah and Shirley with finding Aisha and the Planetary Key.

Outside the bird transforms into a human. She sneaks into Maggie and Michelle’s room and reaches for Maggie’s purple gem. She is stopped by Shirley entering the room, transforming into light and fleeing. Maggie and Michelle wake up. Shirley points out that their bird has flown off and sees the gem that the figure was reaching for. Maggie snatches her treasure back and Shirley ponders what it could mean.

The Fairy Queen realizes that the wayward Planet Halle is heading in the direction of the Fairy Castle and is gathering speed. The Fairy Queen explains to Windy and Rainy that her power is not able to stop a planet, only slow it, and they would need to find the Planetary Key to stop it.

At Maggie’s badminton competition, she loses badly. She storms off and starts using magic to knock the shuttlecock off course. Michelle confronts her for her use of magic, and demands a reason for her recent change in character. A frustrated Maggie exclaims that she doesn’t know why she changed and cries, storming off. A crying Maggie is confronted by Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake.

Michelle, Shirley and Noah search for Maggie but to no avail. As Shirley places all the pieces of the puzzle together, she realizes that Maggie is in danger.

Meanwhile, Sirius Snake and Sirius Wolf takes Maggie to where she found the gem and demands it. She tricks them with a regular stone and darts off into the woods. The pair give chase and Maggie falls, dropping the gem. Sirius Snake and Sirius Wolf reach for it, but is stopped by a woman in purple. The woman collects the stone and helps Maggie up. She introduces herself as Aisha, and explains that Xiaoxing the bird, was her disguised form. She thanks Maggie for saving her.

Sirius Snake and Sirius Wolf attack for the gem, but is deflected by Aisha. Aisha tells Maggie to return home, but they are stopped by the arrival of the other woman in purple. Wordlessly, the Planetary Key was snatched from their hands by magic. Maggie runs at her to return the key, but Aisha blocks her path, taking a magic blast from the woman in Maggie’s stead, knocking them unconscious. Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake bow to the woman and the three leaves together.

Michelle, Shirley and Noah find Maggie. Maggie explains that Aisha saved her, and that she wasn’t a bad person, but Noah doesn’t believe her. Under Shirley’s coaxing, Aisha explains her side of the story - The Queen of Halle had ambitions to rule a larger kingdom than the tiny Halle and had intended to force the Fairy Queen to abdicate in her favor with the might of the Planetary Key behind her, not caring that Halle would move out of orbit by seizing it. Aisha also explains that the key also has the power to affect the human psyche, and enhance powers to an indefinite scale. With the truth out, Shirley realizes that the Fairy Queen is in danger.

Meanwhile, Planet Halle has entered the Fairy Castle’s outer atmosphere. Queen Halle arrives with Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake in tow to demand the Fairy Queen hand over her royal scepter and throne in return for moving Halle back to its orbit. The Fairy Queen realizes that Queen Halle was actually the one who attacked Aisha. As Halle moves closer to the Fairy Castle, the Fairy Queen sends her Royal Scepter towards the Queen of Halle. However, before she could grab it, Shirley and the others arrive.

The Rainbow Bird swoops in to snatch the Planetary Key from Queen Halle’s hands. Furious, Queen Halle sends electric bolt to shoot the Rainbow bird out of the sky and sends Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake after the key. The Fairy Queen uses her own magic to slow the descent of Halle and sends her own Fairies after the key.

Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake finds where the Rainbow Bird lands, but are confronted by Noah, Maggie and Michelle. Noah fights Sirius Wolf, while Maggie and Michelle engage Sirius Snake. Sirius Snake sends an energy snake at Maggie and Michelle but is deflected by Aisha. He then sends many energy snakes at them. Aisha is not able to deflect them all. However, a vine slaps Sirius Snake and destroys all his energy snakes. It is Grandpa Tree coming to their rescue. Meanwhile Stone Turtle defeats Sirius Wolf.

They try to pick up the Planetary Key, but are unable to because of the power emitting from it. Queen Halle retrieves the Planetary Key with her magic. Noah and Aisha try to stop her, but are unable to. Shirley, Maggie and Michelle use their own combination attack but are equally matched with Queen Halle. Maggie finds one of her mother’s lousy cookie and throws it into Queen Halle’s mouth. The taste manages to distract Queen Halle long enough for Shirley to snatch the Planetary Key with her magic. With the enhanced power from the planetary key, the fairies manage to defeat Queen Halle.

Queen Halle, Sirius Wolf and Sirius Snake flee as Halle continues to fall. Shirley flies to Halle and return the Planetary Key to its proper place, stopping Halle’s descent and returning to its proper orbit.

The Fairy Queen thanks Maggie, Michelle, Shirley and Noah for saving Fairy Castle as Aisha returns to her post on Halle guarding the Planetary Key. Shirley returns to bid Mr. and Mrs. Lin farewell, only to find Mr. Lin tied to a chair. Mrs. Lin threatens to feed the trio with her cookies and they flee under Mr. Lin’s urging.
