History[]
On the day of the première, Crystal takes photos of Ken and the others. She shows them to Princess Graciella and gives her a love potion and shows her the picture of Ken which she took and she falls in love with him on the spot. The next day at Wally's restaurant, Barbie confronts Raquelle. While the two are arguing, Princess Graciella, Crystal, and two assistant fairies show up and kidnap Ken. Carrie and Taylor, the two fairies who were sprout their wings and attempt to stop the Princess from taking Ken, but the portal to Gloss Angeles closes before they can enter it. The stylists attempt to dissuade Raquelle and Barbie of the fact that they just saw fairies but admit their existence. Meanwhile, in Gloss Angeles, Ken and the Princess arrive in the royal palace, where they meet Prince Zane, Graciella's boyfriend. Zane is outraged, at Graciella's new love interest and challenges Ken to three duels.
Barbie and her friends travel to Gloss Angeles and that eventually heading on the palace, the four locate Graciella, Ken and Zane. Barbie flies in front of Ken to stop Zane from blasting him and Barbie attempts to give Graciella the love potion antidote, but the Princess freezes her, Raquelle, Ken, Carrie, and Taylor. Crystal reveals that Carrie and Taylor are in the palace, and Graciella (who previously banished them) sends the four to the dungeon by trapping them in Fury Spheres which is said to be escape-proof. The wedding begins, and Graciella uses her magic to make Ken cooperate. Just before the minister can pronounce them together, Barbie and Raquelle make it back, and stop the wedding. They reveal to the public that the Princess is under the influence of a love potion. Raquelle distracts the assistant fairies while Graciella battles with Barbie. Zane shows up at the last minute and holds Graciella, allowing Barbie to release the antidote over Graciella's head, curing her of the love potion. The Princess remembers everything, and apologizes to ken, who forgives her because he realizes she wasn't really herself, and confronts Crystal, who reveals that all she wanted was a chance with Zane, but she admits that Zane loves Graciella, and Graciella says that she loves him too. Princess Graciella is so touched, and grateful, that she offers to return the favor for Barbie and Raquelle. They ask her to release Carrie and Taylor from the dungeon, and lift their Banishment. Although reluctant, when Graciella learns that they don't know what they did wrong, she decides to try. Carrie and Taylor are brought back, and when Graciella asks if they did betray her, they reveal that they spent time without her because she was so busy with royal duties she was never free, but she claims that they stopped even inviting her to do things, they reveal that they were sure she would say no, so they stopped trying, but they realize now that they made a mistake. They apologize and Graciella apologizes for not asking why before. The three forgive each other and become friends again.
Crystal asks for forgiveness, and Graciella, who confiding to Crystal that the ordeal was all her fault, sentences her to clean the entire palace after the wedding reception. Ken askes about the reception, and she says that she remembers Zane proposing to her, and although she turned it down before due to the love potion, she now says yes, much to Zane's delight. So the wedding starts over and Graciella and Zane become married. Everyone is happy, except for Crystal. Graciella tells Barbie and Raquelle that their wings will disappear when they go back to the human world, and then reappear when they return to Gloss Angeles. But Raquelle did not promise Graciella that she'll keep Gloss Angeles and fairies existence a secret. Thus, the fairies blow a magic sleeping dust on them. The next morning, Barbie wakes up with no recollection of Gloss Angeles or the fairies, thinking it was a dream. However, she and Raquelle are now friends. Carrie and Taylor tell the two that they reconnected with an old friend and are going back to their home town (Gloss Angeles).
