It's "Choice Time" at the Flying Fairy School. While Gonnigan and Blögg go to the block corner to make the largest block tower, Abby watches a new online adventure of Super Fairy, her hero. She invites her friends to watch, but they're more interested in their blocks. She magically makes Super Fairy appear in the classroom, hoping the two will appreciate Super Fairy like she does. Super Fairy appears, acting conceited and full of herself. She hands Abby an autograph, then plans to give some to Gonnigan and Blögg, but they don't even notice her. With Abby and Mrs. Sparklenose's help, Super Fairy tries to get them to like her, but ends up knocking their tower over each time. It's not until she helps them out that they decide to be friends with her.
