## Plot

It’s late and Maya & Marylou are signaled by Romi to come into the bakery from outside. The Teeniepings join them too, and Romi confirms that it’s okay for them to be up at this time, as they plan to have a big sleepover! But suddenly Ian shows up and says that he’ll be staying up to experiment with a recipe, possibly all night! The girls decide to go with the sleepover anyway.

The good times roll with group photos and a pillow fight between the girls and the Teeniepings. The fun and games continue until Maya sees an old book lying on the floor, which is a fairytale about a princess who meets a charming prince, and they share a dance together. This makes Maya long for the chance to dance with a charming prince one day despite knowing it’s just a fairytale.

Realizing this chance at making Maya’s dream come true, Lalaping thinks to use magic but Romi quickly shushes her, saying they actually have a dress at home, and now they just need a prince...

Marylou goes to ask Ian about being a prince on Maya’s behalf, to which he hesitantly agrees. She then teaches Ian some... odd moves to help him prepare for the dance while Romi — having transformed with Dadaping into Princess Cloudia — looks for a dress from Sarah that Maya can use. And, with the Teeniepings, they all combine their magic to help make the dress extra pretty and make it so it suits Maya perfectly! Dadaping then offers to take her to a ball...

Maya goes downstairs to find that a party has been set up in the bakery, and Ian is... still preparing his odd set of dance moves to impress Maya with Marylou. Lalaping then uses her magic to help Ian approach Maya properly, while Dadaping tries to make Ian say the words according to the fairytale. Lalaping uses her magic again to help get their dancing started and... it doesn’t turn out as well as Romi & Marylou expected...

This gets Romi to summon Dreamping & Artping to help make things a little more orderly, with Artping creating wings that guide Maya & Ian’s feet, and Dreamping helps create the atmosphere of a real, giving Ian a whole new outfit and letting a beautiful dance begin between the two of them! Marylou takes (a mild amount of) credit for helping get the dance ready, which allows for her, Romi and the Teeniepings to dance together! Romi dances with Marylou, Heartsping dances with Gogoping, while Dadaping, Chachaping & Lalaping dance as a group.

Ian then thanks Maya for helping him be happy and work hard to make pastries for other people. Maya thanks him for helping make her dream come true...

The next morning, though, Sarah finds that her room is a mess thanks to Romi and the others after the sleepover! But they’re asleep, dreaming of what a wonderful princess they could become. Fortunately, Romi apologizes at the end.

## Errors

* The Teeniepings aren’t anywhere to be seen at the beginning when Romi, Maya & Marylou enter the bakery.
* Even though Romi mentions that they probably shouldn’t use magic when Maya dreams of wanting to dance at a ball like a princess, ultimately they follow through on this plan anyways, with the help of the Teeniepings.
* Despite not being featured too heavily in the episode, Artping & Dreamping seemingly disappear from the ball dancing scene once they use their magic.
