Today's the all-school field trip to the Sprinkledust Wild Animal Park. Once again, Fiona and Frieda don't get to be partners. But that's okay. They have a plan. Right after they see the pandas, they'll use their rhyming powers to take their own field trip in the magic realm of fairy tales. As it turns out, things are never that easy for two fairy-tale superheroes. Before they know it, they're in the girls' bathroom with Goldilocks, and she's begging for their help. Soon all the characters find themselves off the fairy-tale map, as a confused wolf attacks the wrong animals. Will Fiona and Frieda get everything straightened out?
