## Plot

Two extras at Alfea argue while Glim and some pixie pets look on. They forget what they're arguing about when they hear Musa humming a song. This scene has nothing to do with the plot. An elderly man is told that ninjas succeeded in kidnapping a girl. He plans to ransom her off, and talks about Prince Sky. The girl isn't Bloom though. It's Diaspro, who apparently hates dogs. The five ninjas work for Yoshinoa, the elderly man. They've never been defeated, and use advanced technology. There's actually four of them. I guess the dog counts as a member, but what does he contribute exactly? At Alfea, Bloom is thinking about how she's a princess, but she's bad at being one. She's thinking about it because she's meeting Sky's parents. Sky and Brandon show up, but Sky has to cancel on Bloom. His parents told him there was an emergency back home. Bloom and Flora volunteer to help. Flora wants a flower from Eraklyon. Zing, a pixie that loves dressing up in costumes, tags along. The costumes are pop culture references. Layla heard that Faragonda asked Musa to organize a concert at Red Fountain. Musa is uncertain about the dancing, and Layla offers to help her. Meanwhile, the group reaches Eraklyon and learns about Diaspro's kidnapping. Sky's parents don't like Bloom. They still want him to marry Diaspro. Sky storms off after arguing with his parents about rescuing Diaspro instead of paying the ransom, which would bankrupt the kingdom. Bloom, Flora, and the pixies look for the flower that Flora needs for a project. It's a teleporting flower. Musa asks Palladium about a spell she found on a piece of paper. He informs her that it's a spying spell, and it's dark magic. Musa assumes that it's the Trix. Techno ninjas attack Sky and Brandon in the woods. They interrogate one of them, and learn that they're after a group of hired ninjas calling themselves Science Ninjas. Flora got her plant offscreen and the girls regroup with the boys. Yoshinoa is a man who's been after Sky since he and Brandon were kids. That's why they traded places last year. Yoshinoa wants the throne, and to do that he needs to get rid of the crown prince. Bloom and Flora use a locator spell to try and find Diaspro. They're ambushed by the ninjas, who claim they fight for justice. Could've fooled me with kidnapping and almost killing people. Stormy is at Alfea. She was spying on the girls. Musa finds her on the roof and fights her. On Eraklyon, the group fights the ninjas, but they're easily defeated. Musa tries using the rain dance Layla taught her to fight Stormy. The Eraklyon group is thrown in Yoshinoa's prison. Brandon has been there before, and the pixies weren't captured. Flora wonders how the ninjas can believe in justice and still be kidnappers. Her comment gives Sky an idea. They're freed and they use the locator spell again. They only have until sunrise before the ransom is paid. Flora offers to use her teleporting flower. It will make two people swap places, so to free Diaspro, one of them has to take her place. Sky offers himself, but the two people need to be about the same height and weight, and Bloom fits that description. They trade places, and since Bloom is in her fairy form, she frees herself and uses magic to fight the ninjas. Musa defeats Stormy, who retreats when the rest of Alfea wakes up. Zing returns with the ransom note, and the ninjas realize what they did. Sky's parents say that what Bloom did was very brave, and worthy of a true princess.

## Review

This was a good episode. We finally get an answer as to why Sky and Brandon switched places. I like Zing, even if they never contribute anything to the plot, ever.
