## Synopsis

Perri is a cyclist who wants to join Canada's cycling triathlon marathon from Yellowknife to Newfoundland and Labrador! Will she make it?

## Plot

#### Prologue: Perri Hitches a Ride with the Nahwan Sisters

The film opens in a hot countryside just outside of Piper City, Illinois where a blonde girl who happens to be Perri is walking down the side of the road alone after hours of riding her bicycle. She is an athletic cyclist who has participated in every bike marathon for years to raise money. At the same time, a Black Raven Cadillac Escalade V pulls over to offer her a lift. The Escalade V's front passenger window opens to reveal the Nahwan sisters: Nafisah and Nadhirah! A delightful Perri is pleased to accept it, so the Nahwan sisters pulls over to a safe spot, shifts the SUV into Park (P), engage the parking brake, open the liftgate, fold down the 2nd and 3rd row seats (since no one is sitting behind the duo) and places Perri's bicycle into the Escalade's cargo area. Afterwards, the trio started to depart.

Inside the Escalade V, a thankful Perri says ***THANK YOU*** to the Nahwan sisters until the trio introduce each other. Given the fact that Perri hasn't heard the name ***NAHWAN*** before, Nafisah adds that a ***NAHWAN*** indicates ***A QUICK LEARNER***, ***AN INTELLIGENT PERSON*** and ***CAN DEAL WITH IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS***. Perri wants to participate in a cycling marathon in Canada, much to Nadhirah's agreement and decided to discuss it with Cubby. Given the fact that Perri hasn't heard the name Cubby Edwards before, Nafisah adds that Cubby is a former pirate person who is a businessman until she gives Perri a DVD of the Disney Junior TV series Jake and the Never Land Pirates, much to her shock. However, Nadhirah is no fan of the TV show Jake and the Never Land Pirates and pretty much focused on another Disney Junior TV show called Sofia The First, leaving Perri puzzled.

#### Perri Meets Jewel, Izzy and Cubby, Inviting Princess Amber to the Race

After arriving at Cubby, Izzy and Jewel's house in Burlington, Vermont, Nafisah parks her Escalade V ahead of the house, shifts it to Park (P), engage the parking brake, shut the engine off, the trio leaves the SUV and proceeds to the front door. Nadhirah rings the doorbell next to the door and it opens, only to find Jewel at the front door. Nevertheless, she invites the trio to come inside, much to their joy.

Inside Jewel's house, Nafisah, Nadhirah, Perri, Cubby, Izzy and Jewel sat in the living room together. Given the fact that Cubby, Izzy and Jewel hasn't met Perri before, the trio took a chance to do so. A disrupt Perri begs at Cubby that she wants to participate in Canada's bicycle racing marathon, much to his agreement. Jewel shows Perri a map of Canada and the race starts from Yellowknife in Canada's Northwest Territories province all the way to the Newfoundland and Labrador province. When a concerned Perri asks about the distance, Izzy says that the cycling triathlon takes 6,275 kilometers and 68 hours, leaving a terrified Perri. In addition, Nadhirah adds that Perri will race with Princess Amber next to her. Given the fact that Perri hasn't heard of Princess Amber before, Izzy adds that Princess Amber is Sofia's big stepsister, much to Perri's shock due to her hatred against stepsisters. Also, a concerned Perri spotted the bag thing around Izzy's neck until it happens to be Pixie Dust. Given the fact that Perri hasn't heard the word Pixie Dust before, Izzy adds that Pixie Dust is a golden powder like substance that grants the ability to fly. An excited Perri wants to try the Pixie Dust, but Nadhirah bans her from doing so since the Pixie Dust is used for emergency purposes only, leaving a dismayed Perri wanting to try the Pixie Dust so badly.

#### Arriving at Canada's Bike Triathlon, Meeting Up with Princess Amber

The next morning, at Yellowknife in Canada's Northwest Territories province, all of the cycling athletes are prepared for the bike race, including Princess Amber who brings her brand new bicycle with LED lights front and rear from the factory that Huckleberry brought it for her. Once Nafisah, Nadhirah, Perri, Cubby, Izzy and Jewel showed up, a delightful Amber is pleased to welcome the Nahwan sisters and Jewel until Izzy introduces Amber to Perri. Given the fact that Amber hasn't met Perri before, Cubby adds that Perri is a female cyclist who held a bike ride for charity. Without wasting time, all the cyclist athletes took their places, including Amber and Perri. After the air horn blares, all the cyclists from across the world started to depart, including Amber and Perri.

After the long run in Canada, all the cyclists started to pull over to the city of Saskatoon in Canada's Saskatchewan province once the sun goes down and it's nighttime. And thus, all of the athletes started to have a BBQ together, including Amber and Perri at the University of Saskatchewan. When a curious Perri shows Amber a video of the Nahwan sisters (along with Cooper, Prudence, Nevada, Trishna and Utah) standing on a cliff singing to the Daryl Hall and John Oates song Out of Touch in her phone (happened in the previous film), Amber adds that Greg and Hacky Zak travelled to the North Pole and ended up in Sweden where the duo hitches a ride with Jonna Jinton. Given the fact that Perri hasn't heard the name Jonna Jinton before, Amber adds that Jonna is a female artist and photographer from Sweden where she experiences the Midnight Sun and Polar Night. Even so, she even shows Perri Jonna's website as well, much to Perri's fascination. And thus, an amazed Perri is thrilled to see Jonna's artwork.

#### The Edwards Family Visits the Crusaders, Yippy Meets Sofia

The next day, the scene fades to the house of the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Princess Vivian and Yippy) where the 8 Crusaders got exhausted selling food ahead of their house nearly every single year. When Jake's Navarra Blue Metallic Audi A8L D5 showed up, the excited Crusaders are happy to reunite with Jake and Sofia until they meet Laura and Sean for the first time. When a curious Sofia asks Apple Bloom that the Crusaders has a new member, Apple Bloom says ***YES*** until Yippy shows up. Given the fact that Jake and Sofia hasn't met Yippy before, she took a chance to do so. Full named ***Aurora Eloise Yipperson***, Sweetie Belle adds that Yippy is a former cookie scout which reminds Sofia of the Buttercups. Given the fact that Laura, Sean and Yippy hasn't heard of the Buttercups before, Sofia adds that the Buttercup Troop is a girl scout organization that involves a lot of outdoor activities, such as learning new things and exploring the wilderness, similar to Yippy. When Jake asks the Crusaders about their trip to Sweden in the previous film, Diamond Tiara says that their trip is mind-blowing that Greg and Hacky hitches a ride to ***Grundtjärn***. Given the fact that Jake and Sofia hasn't heard the name ***Grundtjärn*** before, Silver Spoon says that ***Grundtjärn*** is a small village in Northern Sweden surrounded by heavy forest trees. Nevertheless, the Crusaders and the Edwards family went upstairs to Yippy's bedroom to showcase the drawings.

After entering Yippy's bedroom upstairs, an amazed Jake and Sofia are fascinated at the drawings inside the bedroom until a memory picture of the Nahwan sisters, Greg, Hacky, Jade, Lucinda, Ruby, Trixie and the whole troop, including the Mane 10. Also, a curious Laura spotted a blonde couple in that painting until Babs added that the woman happens to be Jonna Jinton. Given the fact that Jake and Sofia hasn't heard the name Jonna Jinton before, Vivian explains that Jonna Jinton is a female artist, photographer and composer from Sweden who is focused on mother nature. Also, a fascinated Laura and Sean wants to experience the Midnight Sun and Polar Night.

#### Plunging Through Snow and Rain, Amber and Perri Are Missing

Eventually, back in Canada, all the cyclists continue their journey to Toronto, Ontario. During the 100 kilometer run, all the cycling athletes plunges through driving rain, massive blizzard and any type of uncertain weather conditions. However, both Amber and Perri are unable to continue their journey due to bad weather conditions, causing the duo to crash into an oncoming truck and sustain heavy injuries. And thus, the pair are chased to the general hospital in Manitouwadge. After the two blonde athletes ended up at the Manitouwadge General Hospital, one doctor worker states that the duo are in stable condition and none of them die in the process. As a result, Amber and Perri are warded inside the hospital for 2 weeks.

The next day, Cheerilee and the other cyclists around the world are granted permission to visit both Amber and Perri who are still warded due to heavy injuries and broken arms and legs. Upon their arrival at the Manitouwadge General Hospital, a horrified Cheerilee is shocked to see both Amber and Perri suffering broken legs due to unstable weather conditions. In addition, all the cyclists who came to visit gives them tons of gifts such as a storybook, a bottle of orange juice and a basket of fruits. Much to their delight, Amber and Perri promises to get back into the bike race soon.

#### Nafisah Consulting Amber and Perri, Back in the Race

Inside the hospital ward, a bored Amber and Perri got a video call from the Nahwan sisters about the condition of their legs. When a horrified Nahwan Nafisah asks Amber how she and Perri broke their legs, Amber added that the duo plunges through heavy rainstorm and crash into a truck, causing the duo to end up going to the Manitouwadge General Hospital. In addition, Nadhirah advises the duo to pay attention to weather changes since it can affect anyone out there including the duo themselves. And thus, the video call ends.

Two weeks later, after Amber and Perri left the Manitouwadge General Hospital with their legs completely healed, the duo proceeds to Toronto, Ontario and resume the race together to Churchill Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador. During the race, Amber and Perri overtakes every single cyclist until she is blocked by none other than Gremmie! Gremmie is among the cyclists who does not allow anyone to beat him at all. And thus, an angry Amber and Perri started to beat Gremmie, but in the process, Gremmie knocks Amber and Perri down the ledge, causing the duo to get stuck for hours on end.

#### Amber and Perri Stranded Down the Ledge, Nathellie and the Pirate Princess to the Rescue!

After Amber and Perri got thrown down the ledge by Gremmie, Amber tries to turn on her walkie-talkie to get Nafisah's attention, but no luck since their walkie-talkies lost signal reception. And thus, this action prompts two women: Nathellie Ballerie and the Pirate Princess to rescue the two blondes who got stuck down the ledge with her Klassen Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Back at the ledge in Quebec, Amber and Perri are still stranded down the ledge until the duo spotted coming from above and down goes Nathellie Ballerie, much to Amber's joy. Once Nathellie attaches chains to each hip, the Pirate Princess pulls the trio out of the ledge with her Sprinter. After pulling Amber and Perri out of the ledge, a relieved Amber is happy to reunite with both Nathellie and the Pirate Princess again. Given the fact that Perri hasn't heard the name Nathellie Ballerie before, Nathellie adds that she is a Canadian-born French actress and stage model based in both Canada and France. In addition, Nathellie introduces Perri to the Pirate Princess, full named ***Brenda Dolores Evangeline Marshall***. When the Pirate Princess asks Amber that she and Perri participate in a bike marathon, Amber says ***YES*** and the race starts from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories all the way to Churchill Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador where the finish line is. Also, a heartbroken Perri cries in tears after her bicycle got crushed and totaled by Gremmie while overtaking, prompting a sympathetic Pirate Princess to bring out one from her Sprinter. Only to be aware that the bicycle has 2 seats, an extended length of 2 centimeters, full LED lights front and rear with signals and rocket boosters on the sides, Nathellie adds that her mother invented the bicycle to go full blast. Nevertheless, Amber and Perri thanked the duo, gets onto the bike and proceeds to Churchill Falls at high speed using the rocket boosters.

#### Epilogue: Speeding to the Finish Line, Gremmie Chased by Sharks

Once Amber and Perri sped off to the finish line in Churchill Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador using the bicycle's rocket boosters, the duo overtakes Gremmie, but blocked again, preventing Amber and Perri from crossing the finish line. Without wasting time to think first before doing anything, Amber and Perri makes a loop-de-loop stunt in slow motion, overtaking Gremmie in the process and crosses the finish line, beating Gremmie in second. As a result, both Amber and Perri won first place, stand on podium 1 and the duo lifts the gold trophy together. Jake, Sofia and their kids who came to see Amber crossing the finish line becomes so proud. Given the fact that Jake and Sofia hasn't met Perri before, Amber adds that Perri is an enthusiastic cyclist who participates with her. Afterwards, the film ends with Amber, Perri, Jake, Sofia and their kids bringing back the gold trophy.

After the post credits, Gremmie is stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean after Amber and Perri manages to beat him due to his destructive behaviour. Once hours gone by, he is surrounded by a swarm of sharks, prompting a terrified Gremmie to escape from the sharks while the sharks chases after him, teaching Gremmie a lesson.
