## Summary

*As part of Fesna's new plan, Fuke and Pipi place Yan Keke and Milu under an illusion.*

## Plot

Pipi daydreams about a large cake that is in reality revealed to be Fesna’s throne. When Fuke attempts to stop him, he sees Fuke as a slice of cake as well and attempts to eat him. Fesna appears and it is revealed that Pipi was under the control of her Illusion Butterfly. Once again, she orders Fuke and Pipi to capture the Transfer Elves, sending them with the Illusion Butterflies to place the fairies under an illusion.

Meanwhile, Keke wakes up in the morning and manages her morning routine despite being half-asleep in a messy room. However, when Milu emerges from the Jewel Box, he gets hurt trying to navigate the mess. Displeased with the state of Keke’s room, Milu tidies it up. When Keke returns to the room, she falls flat on her face, before realizing that the chair she had expected to be there was moved, and is surprised that her room had been tidied up. She is briefly disoriented at where her belongings are, but Milu helps retrieve them. Milu tries telling Keke not to mess the room up, but Keke barely listens and leaves for school.

Keke skips off to school, enjoying the sights of the pleasant fall season. A purple butterfly lands on her head and the world around changes into a wonderland of large flowers. A butterfly lands on Milu’s head as well and he begins seeing the same scene. Behind them, Fuke and Pipi celebrate their success.

Meanwhile the situation in the auditorium is awkward as Letong and Yinyue wait for Keke to arrive. Letong munches on some potato chips, making a sound that annoys Yinyue, who attempts to ignore her while seated a few seats away. They get into an argument, resulting in the pair storming off in opposite directions. Buding and Lubi decide to look for Milu and Keke to be their peacekeepers.

They find Keke and Lubi playing around on the streets, in a world of their own. Buding notices the strange butterfly above Milu’s head, but Milu, seeing Buding as flowers begin chasing her. Fuke and Pipi watch the situation unfold from above and sends two more Illusion Butterflies at them.

Meanwhile, in the world only they can see, Keke jumps in an attempt to grab flowers on a branch out of her reach. Milu tells her that she is just two short, but both are surprised when the branch complies with Keke’s request and lowers itself, then the flowers enlarge themselves in accordance to Keke’s wishes. Milu begins to question the situation, remembers that they were supposed to still be out on the streets and realizes that something is wrong.

Fuke and Pipi celebrate also putting Buding and Lubi under an illusion. They send a Illusion butterfly back to Fesna to let her know that they succeeded. Milu realizes that this is a trap set by Fesna and tries to warn Keke, but Keke relaxes and falls asleep. Milu attempts to wake Keke up by tickling her nose, but Keke sneezes, sending him flying. This sends Milu toward the celebrating Fuke and Pipi causing them to all fall over. During this collision, Milu’s Illusion Butterfly is accidentally crushed by Pipi and illusion Milu was placed under is broken.

Milu and finds Buding and Lubi, but they are unresponsive, lost in their own illusions. Milu notices the strange butterflies above their heads but is unable to act on this, as Fuke and Pipi come chasing after him. After a brief chase, Milu manages to lose them and return to Buding and Lubi, swatting away the butterflies above their head allowing them to come to their senses. Fuke and Pipi decide to call Fesna for help and opens a portal, allowing Fesna to enter the human world. However, to Fesna’s dismay, she is only able to take the form of a butterfly in the human world, unable to use any magic.

Angered at being disrespected by Buding, Milu and Lubi. She charges at them anyway and manages to knock them unconscious. She sends Fuke and Pipi off to find something to trap them in. However, Keke awakens, still under the illusion and grabs Fesna, seeing her as a beautiful flower. Keke kisses the butterfly which also causes Fesna to fall into the same illusion as Keke is under. In this illusion, she returns to her fairy form. Keke greets her cheerfully, noting that Fesna looks prettier when she isn’t so angry. Keke uses her magic to brighten up the illusion world, which even causes Fesna to break into a spell.

In the real world, the Transfer Elves watch dumbfounded as Fesna, in fairy form, begin dancing with Keke. Buding and Lubi open a Transfer Gate to call Letong and Yinyue to help. Hearing their voices from the auditorium, the girls jump through and manage to stop Fuke and Pipi from chasing their partners. They see Keke behaving strangely and ask what is going on. Milu explains that Fesna placed her in an illusion, but is unable to swat away the Illusion butterfly over Keke’s head, as it has been too long since she was placed under its spell. Yinyue suggests that since they can’t get Keke out of the illusion, they should go in instead.

Within the illusion, Keke watches Fesna dance. Letong, Yinyue and their Transfer Elves turn up within the same illusion and Keke greets them. They explain to Keke that she’s within an illusion. However, Keke isn’t bothered as she had a great time, and is happy that the other members of the Balala Star Fate Girls are here too. Upon hearing that, Fesna snaps out of her mood and demands to know where the fragments of the Star Gems are.

As Fesna fires a projectile at them, the girls transform into their fairy forms. Fesna launches a shadow butterfly at them. Letong and Yinyue manages to get out of the way, but Keke trips. Frightened, she tells the shadow butterfly not to come any closer and to her amazement, it stops in mid-air. Yinyue tells Keke that since this is her illusion, she can control everything within it. Keke tells the Shadow Butterfly to shrink and it does so. She then commands Fesna to dance, and Fesna dances away, unable to resist. As the Fairies laugh, Milu comes to the conclusion that even though Keke has many minor faults, her innocence makes her unbeatable and is proud to have chosen her as a partner.
