## Plot

In Mr. Dayne’s class, each student is given the chance to sing to a lullaby as Mr. Dayne plays on the piano. Romi goes first, which then leads to Dua. She starts to sing very quietly, which causes Cindy & Lena to tease her. As Dua tries to sing, the girls’ laughing and teasing causes her to leave class. Romi, Maya & Marylou are left concerned for her.

Lalaping is seen walking in the forest and is looking for Romi. She meets a pair of birds who are asked by Lalaping if they’ve seen her, but they haven’t. She then starts to sing very loud (which causes the birds to faint) with her microphone, which draws the ire of a raccoon. Lalaping asks the raccoon if it wants to sing with her, but it doesn’t accept. Lalaping continues to sing anyway, further annoying the raccoon, and leading to a chase across Harmony Town!

The two race into Harmony Town and the raccoon dives at Lalaping, but she dodges and lands on top of its head. They nearly collide into a trash can, but she uses the raccoon’s ears to steer it out of the way. But that doesn’t stop them from crashing into a nearby pole! With the raccoon closing in, Lalaping is left with no choice but to use her Tinkle Puff, which causes the raccoon’s demeanor to change — and to dance! Right when the two are having a fun time, Lalaping slips and falls into an aluminum can!

After school, Romi, Maya & Marylou worry about Dua after her performance earlier in the day. Romi’s Teenieping Alert rings and Heartsping encourages her to check the Magic Catcher. She does and finds Lalaping trapped inside. She leaves Maya & Marylou, assuming she forgot something at school, and transforms with Heartsping into Princess Heart.

Dua is seen walking alone after school, and hears someone struggling. She finds Lalaping inside the can and pulls her out to free her, and she’s all bruised up! Lalaping introduces herself as a Royal Teenieping from the Emotions Kingdom which confuses Dua, but she doesn’t mind as she notices that Lalaping is hurt and decides to heal her up. After transforming, Romi & Heartsping find that Lalaping has gone missing from the spot where she used to be. Romi checks the Magic Catcher and finds that Lalaping has gone a different direction from them, so they follow the Catcher’s lead.

At Dua’s home, Lalaping is all healed up with bandages, and she tells Dua of her story about how she was chased by a raccoon after she just wanted to sing. Lalaping asks Dua if she likes to sing, but she says no because she lacks confidence in herself. Lalaping’s tummy starts to grumble, which leads Dua to ask her for some snacks. She suggests sweets, and Dua leaves to get her some. Meanwhile, Lalaping decides that she’ll help teach Dua how to become confident while singing, but then she hears Romi’s voice outside!

Delighted to have found each other, Romi encourages Lalaping to join her, but she’s at a crossroads: either she leaves Dua behind, or she stays to help. Lalaping chooses the latter, and this surprises Romi, and leads Heartsping to believe that she’s running away! Romi enters Dua’s house and finds Lalaping right in her bedroom, and she insists on catching Lalaping.

After a long chase around the house, Lalaping hops onto the couch in Dua’s living room. She uses her magic and Romi ducks. Dua arrives home and the effects of the magic fall onto her, leading her to do a dance. Romi then catches Lalaping with the Magic Catcher amidst this distraction. Lalaping tells Romi to let her free when Romi hears Dua singing, and she sounds noticeably better than earlier in the day. She wants to help her sing with joy, so Romi & Heartsping apologize to her and let her free. Dua and Lalaping then enjoy a pie together and prepare to practice singing.

The following day, Dua sings in front of the class and Romi hopes she’ll be more confident again. But when Dua starts off quietly, Lalaping pops out of her backpack and encourages her to sing a little louder! While Lena teases Dua for a moment, Dua starts to sing a bit louder — and much better — to the surprise of her classmates, which earns her a round of applause.

After class, Romi, Heartsping & Lalaping are delighted after Dua’s performance. Romi asks if it was thanks to Lalaping’s magic that Dua was able to sing so well, but Lalaping says it was thanks to her teaching that helped summon her ability to sing with joy, excitement and confidence. The three of them all sing along to end things on a high note.
