## Synopsis

A flashback reveals the girls were trying to determine what the **Royal Clock** does. **Candy** tries to know how it works, but her stomach grumbles and is unable to think. She hungrily observes the cookie **Emily** has and suggests that they share it, stating that it would taste better of they did that. Just then, **Pop** arrives and claims to know what the clock does.

Meanwhile **Rascal** show the three generals a new black ball which will create **Twilight Buffoon** to defeat the Glitter Force, and he also showed three mystery cards, for one each. He ordered **Ulric** to use the black nose to battle the Glitter Force first.

Pop explains the Royal Clock is linked to **Queen Euphoria'**s revival. The Royal Clock activated by itself and they saw an image of Queen Euphoria, and in it, she tells the girls that in order to use the Royal Clock, it will require the Glitter Force and Candy's strength to gain a new power.

Ulric sucked Negative Energy from people in the park and sensing this, the girls rush to the location and confront him.

He used the new black nose on a bulldozer and become Twilight Buffoon. He then merges with it to gain control over it while the girls transform. The Twilight Buffoon is too strong for them and Candy and Pop take to hiding until Rascal suddenly locates Candy and traps her within a Dream Ball.

Rascal told the girls that Candy is trapped on a place where everything is a paradise. However the girls believed Candy will overcome the illusion and try their best to defeat the Twilight Buffoon, even with the use of **Glitter Princess Mode** but it was useless against it.

In the illusion, Candy ate a large cookie and remembers what she said earlier, recalling how Emily shared her little cookie. She suddenly realizes this world isn't real and breaks free.

She finds the girls laying on the ground in defeat. Glitter Lucky was glad Candy was all right - but she is angry to see the others so hurt. This triggers a new Glitter Charm that activate the Royal Clock. The clock was able to turn the Twilight Buffoon's black nose into a red nose and Glitter Lucky rises to fire **Sparkle Storm** at the Buffoon. Defeated, a new Glitter Charm was recovered and Ulric retreats.

Candy suddenly has a vision of Queen Euphoria telling her to support the Glitter Force in the Future. Everyone, recovering from the battle express relief to see Candy is okay and unharmed, but suddenly, Rascal appears and traps **Kelsey**, **Lily**, **April**, and **Chloe** within his Dream Ball. He then proceeds to taunt Emily, Candy, and Pop.
