Plot
Once upon a time, in Chrysalis, California, there was an orphan girl named Tina decides to go on her first adventure. Then all of a sudden, she saw a first butterfly, which is orange. She tries to catch a buttefly, but it's running away, so Tina is chasing a butterfly. Meanwhile, there was an orphan boy named Myles is ready to battle against a bog beast named Bobby. Now, an orange butterfly is scared, so Bobby decides to eat the butterfly, but Tina yells to stop Bobby. An orange butterfly is surrounded, but Tina says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the orange butterfly bravely goes to Tina, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy. Furious, Bobby's had enough, so he has to battle against Tina, but she has to destroy Bobby with her fire magic...and succeeded. And Booby the Bog Beast has been defeated and went to pieces, so Tina threw the pieces of Bobby the Bog Beast away, making it so he never come back. And as Tina transforms back to normal, her butterfly bracelet has appeared on her left wrist. Now, Tina and Myles made their first kiss. As time passed, Tina and Myles have become teenagers, so they went to the separate schools or campuses, though they keep in touch. Tina went to the Butterfly dome to meet the new girls, which are Layla, Corla, Olivia, Alyssa, Isabella, Sabrina and Melinda. Their teachers are Sidra, Gabriella, Marianne, Edna and Roxanne. The school rules are "If you get strike one, you'll get detention. If you get strike two, you'll be suspended. And if you get strike three, you'll be expelled."

It's in the Butterfly Dorm and the Centipede Campus. Anyways, Myles went to the Centipede Campus to meet the new boys, which are Peter, Andrew, Henry, Randall, Telly, Gary and Vern. Their teachers are Seamus and Jeremiah. Now, Sidra and the eight butterfly girls are invited to the Centipede Campus Stadium. Little did they know, there are the three moth witches, Molly, Polly and Holly were UN-invited. So as the audiences watching the stadium, all eight Centipede boys wear the suit, the cape of different colors and the helmet with shade goggles. Whoever wins will become the leader. And the battle has begun, so the eight Centipede heroes battle against each other but Myles defeat all seven of them...and Myles is the winner. Now, the three moth Witches crashed onto the stadium and tell the story. Holly went to Mt. Borgnine (fictional volcano is named after the late great Ernest Borgnine) and said "I believe the moth", right before she caught a red moth and is transformed into a moth witch, and is quickly evacuated by flying away due to Mt. Borgnine erupted. Polly went to Garbo Gardens (fictional garden is named after the late great Greta Garbo) and said "I believe the moth", right before she caught a green moth and is transformed into a moth witch and flies away. Now, Molly went to Nimoy Desert (fictional desert is named after the late great Leonard Nimoy), and said "I believe the moth", right before she caught a yellow moth and is transformed into a moth witch and flies away. Now, they went to the Crosby Caverns (fictional cavern is named after the late great Bing Crosby) and gather around for themselves. As Molly, Polly and Holly turn back to normal, their moth bracelets magically appeared on their left wrists. Now, the three moth witches destroyed the top of the stadium of the Centipede Campus...and blew eight butterfly fairies away separately, including Tina, who fell onto her own childhood house, knocked unconscious, but wakes up by her own sister named Velma, who is a guardian angel. Tina also met her two talking animals. Leona the Rabbit (based on Sebby's legendary pet rabbit, Leo, named after the MGM lion) and Buster the Duck. Now, Velma wants Tina to go on an adventure, by following the trail of the butterflies. Now, Leona and Buster decides to follow Tina, but they can't follow her and got lost.

Now, Tina went to the Ladd Oak Tree (fictional tree is named after the late great Alan Ladd, Sr. and the name of the production company, "The Ladd Company") and activates her butterfly bracelet to transform into a butterfly fairy and calls out the seven butterflies. Tina and the butterflies shall go on their trails to find her friends. Starting with McDowall River (fictional river is named after the late great Roddy McDowall). Now Layla says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the purple butterfly bravely goes to Layla, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with water/shape power). Now, Tina and Layla and six butterflies continue their trail with Tayback City (fictional city has named after the late great Vic Tayback). Now Corla says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the green butterfly bravely goes to Corla, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with digital power). Now Tina and friends (including five butterflies) continue their trail with Mt. Borgnine (fictional volcano has named after the late great Ernest Borgnine). But unfortunately, Olivia is scared because of Mt. Borgnine erupting and can't reach the pink butterfly upwards, so Tina, Layla and Corla makes the sign of the magic words to Olivia, so Olivia calmly says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the pink butterfly bravely goes to Olivia, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with animal power). Now Tina and friends (including four butterflies) continue their trail with Hayworth Village (fictional village has named after the late great Rita Hayworth). Alyssa says a magic word (by singing): "I believe the butterfly", so the red butterfly bravely goes to Alyssa, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with music power). Now Tina and friends (including three butterflies) continue their trail with Everhart Mountains (fictional mountains has named after the late great Rex Everhart; parody of Mt. Everest). Because there's snow on Everhart Mountains and temperatures are cold, Isabella stutters and is freezing, but she quickly says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the lavender butterfly bravely goes to Isabella, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with star/nova power). Now Tina and friends (including two butterflies) continue their trail with Nimoy Desert (fictional desert has named after the late great Leonard Nimoy). Sabrina says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the yellow butterfly bravely goes to Sabrina, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with sun/moon power). Now Tina and friends (including a last butterfly) conclude their trail with Garbo Gardens (fictional gardens has named after the late great Greta Garbo). Melinda says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the blue butterfly bravely goes to Melinda, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with flower power).

Now, Tina went to the Ladd Oak Tree (fictional tree is named after the late great Alan Ladd, Sr. and the name of the production company, "The Ladd Company") and activates her butterfly bracelet to transform into a butterfly fairy and calls out the seven butterflies. Tina and the butterflies shall go on their trails to find her friends. Starting with McDowall River (fictional river is named after the late great Roddy McDowall). Now Layla says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the purple butterfly bravely goes to Layla, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with water/shape power).

Now Corla says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the green butterfly bravely goes to Corla, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with digital power). Now Tina and friends (including five butterflies) continue their trail with Mt. Borgnine (fictional volcano has named after the late great Ernest Borgnine). But unfortunately, Olivia is scared because of Mt. Borgnine erupting and can't reach the pink butterfly upwards, so Tina, Layla and Corla makes the sign of the magic words to Olivia, so Olivia calmly says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the pink butterfly bravely goes to Olivia, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with animal power). Now Tina and friends (including four butterflies) continue their trail with Hayworth Village (fictional village has named after the late great Rita Hayworth). Alyssa says a magic word (by singing): "I believe the butterfly", so the red butterfly bravely goes to Alyssa, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with music power). Now Tina and friends (including three butterflies) continue their trail with Everhart Mountains (fictional mountains has named after the late great Rex Everhart; parody of Mt. Everest). Because there's snow on Everhart Mountains and temperatures are cold, Isabella stutters and is freezing, but she quickly says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the lavender butterfly bravely goes to Isabella, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with star/nova power).

Melinda says a magic word: "I believe the butterfly", so the blue butterfly bravely goes to Melinda, who's magically transformed into a butterfly fairy (with flower power).

Now, there are all eight butterfly fairies, so they went back to the Butterfly Dorm, but all of a sudden, Sidra and four teachers are furious. The reason? The butterfly girls and the centipede boys destroyed the ceiling of the stadium on the Centipede Campus. As punishment, Sidra takes away all eight butterfly bracelets from the girls (in the butterfly dorm) and forces them to do some chores without magic or music. And Seamus (and Jeremiah) take away all the centipede suits (with capes and helmets) from the boys (in the cenipede campus) and forced them to do some chores without music. And none of the boys can be the leader, either. Meanwhile, Leona the Rabbit and Buster the Duck are lost in Chrysalis, California. All of a sudden, they saw Molly, Polly and Holly (three moth witches) shall rebuilt Bobby the Bog Beast by calling all parts of them. Starting with his head (from Ladd Oak Tree), his mid-body (from Mt. Borgnine), his right leg (from Tayback City), his right arm (from McDowall River), his left arm (from Garbo Gardens) and his left leg (from Everhart Mountains). All of his pieces shall be transformed back into one whole body, rebuilt and revived by the three moth witches. And they'll make dinner, especially Rabbit Stew and Duck Stew instead of the butterfly foods...and they saw Leona and Buster...so they captured Leona and Rabbit and are taken to Crosby Caverns. Now Velma decides to act fast. At Centipede Campus, Myles and his friends sneak into the Centi-Plane and escape, but Seamus caught Myles and boys via live-stream camera in Centi-Plane, but is ignored by Myles and friends, who disobeyed Seamus orders. Meanwhile, Tina and friends got expelled from the Butterfly Dorm by Sidra without the butterfly bracelets. As Sidra went back to her office and opens the drawer of the desk, all eight butterfly bracelets are gone (thanks to Velma who quickly retrieves them and brings them to Tina and friends). And now, Tina and friends activate the butterfly bracelets into the butterfly fairies. Now, Tina and friends shall ride along with Myles and friends in the Centi-Plane and went to the Crosby Caverns (fictional cavern has named after Bing Crosby). And before Bobby shall start making dinner, Tina, Myles and friends show up just in time, so Leona and Buster quickly escape. Now, Tina, Myles and friends have a rematch with the three moth witches at the center of the battlefield, inside of the Crosby Caverns. Tina, Myles and friends got rid of Molly, Polly and Holly. Now, Bobby the Bog Beast shall have a rematch with the butterfly fairies alone, but instead of surrendering, Tina and her butterfly fairies work together to combine magic and converge against Bobby the Bog Beast...and succeeded. Thanks to Tina and her butterfly fairies, Bobby the Bog Beast is gone for good. Now, Tina, Myles and friends rescued Leona and Buster...and capture the three moth witches and take them to show Sidra, Seamus and other teachers in the butterfly dorm as evidences. By the time, the butterfly fairies and the centipede heroes went back to the butterfly dorm, Sidra, Seamus and other teachers are furious, though Molly, Polly and Holly confessed about the previous accident. The three moth witches came clean as they telling the truth. Molly, Polly and Holly make terrible magic to destroy the ceiling of the stadium in the Centipede Campus...and Sidra, Seamus and other teachers are shocked. And so, Molly, Polly and Holly are strongly banned from school for destroying the stadium ceiling in the Centipede Campus. Tina, Myles and friends apologized about disobeying orders. Sidra, Seamus and other teachers apologized, too, for misunderstanding butterfly fairies and centipede heroes framed by the moth witches. Now, the butterfly girls and the centipede boys are officially reinstated. That night, for celebration, Seamus, Jeremiah and the centipede boys are invited to the butterfly dorm with Sidra, the teachers and the butterfly girls for party. And Velma, Buster and Leona are invited, too. The butterfly girls and the centipede boys are dancing. There are some friends who loved each other. Myles <3 Tina, Telly <3 Layla, Peter <3 Corla, Randall <3 Olivia, Gary <3 Alyssa, Henry <3 Isabella, Vern <3 Sabrina...and finally, Andrew <3 Melinda. Now, Buster and Leona became friends with Tina...and Velma. The End.
