After, he sneaks into the princesses' bedroom and discovers magical stones. He finds the princesses in the pavilion and tells them about Rowena's plan.
When Desmond breaks the magical stones, golden pollen tells them how to escape from the pavilion. Fallon, the most romantic princess, says that Genevieve and Derek should dance together and Felix, Derek's pet bird, agrees with her. It helps, and the princesses return to their castle.
