Story
The story starts off at the movie premiere. At the premiere, Raquelle rips Barbie's dress. Luckily, her stylists, Carrie and Taylor fixes it. Meanwhile, a fairy named Crystal is taking fashion pictures at the premiere for Princess Graciella (the fairy princess). Crystal gave Graciella a love potion so she fell in love with Ken when Crystal showed her a picture of him. Crystal gave Graciella the love potion since she's in love with her boyfriend. The next day, Barbie, Ken (her boyfriend), Carrie and Taylor have lunch together. When Raquelle shows up and teases Barbie for the "accident", Barbie decides to have a talk with her. When she went outside, the other three followed. While Raquelle and Barbie were talking, Crystal, Princess Graciella, and her two attendants took Ken to Gloss Angeles (the fairy world). Carrie and Taylor reveal that they're fairies so they decided to help save Ken. The four (Barbie, Rachael, Carrie, and Taylor) took a fairy flyway (fairy shortcuts) to Paris, France. They visited Lilliana Roxelle (in Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale) to take a portal to Gloss Angeles. It also happened that Lilliana found out that Graciella took a love potion by the color of her eyes. She gave them the antidote to the spell. Also, Lilliana knew that Carrie and Taylor were banned from Gloss Angeles. Back at Gloss Angeles, Graciella's real boyfriend, Zane, challenged Ken to a duel for Graciella. For the first phase, they fought with magic. When Barbie and the others arrived at Gloss Angeles, Barbie and Raquelle had to get wings so they went to Wings and Things. After they got their wings, they headed towards the palace to stop Graciella from marrying Ken. They needed a diguise to pass the palace guards so they dressed up as cooks. When Barbie flew up to Graciella, Graciella stopped her. Barbie explained everything to Graciella, but Crystal ruined it by telling Princess Graciella that the two fairies were Carrie and Taylor. Graciella sent Barbie, Raquelle, Carrie, and Taylor to the dungeon while Graciella and Ken were about to get married. Zane objected to the wedding and asked Graciella to marry him, but she refused. At the dungeon, Barbie and Raquelle started talking why things were so bad between them. It turned out that it was a misunderstanding so they forgived each other. When they did, the cage disappeared and they got real wings. They stopped the wedding in time and removed the spell from Graciella. Graciella said she would do something to repay Barbie and Raquelle. Barbie told Graciella to release Carrie and Taylor from the dungeon and lift their banishment. Graciella brought Carrie and Taylor to her and found out they stopped spending time with her because she got so busy with royal duties. They also forgived each other. Graciella decided to forgive Crystal after she cleaned up everything after the wedding. Zane and Graciella got married. After the wedding, Barbie, Raquelle, and Ken went back to the human world. When they woke up, they forgot everything that happened the day before and thought it was a dream.
