Ringo meets Leila Takashiro and Natsuki Sasashara at the concert entrances. Finally, the Ma-Pets founded their respective princesses and gave them the Magic gem which became bracelets and transforms the young girls into older female popstars. When they accidentally debuted the concert, the three girls were known as "Lil' Pri". Now, they must use their songs to draw and collect Happiness Tones from humans in order to restore Fairyland.

Ringo Yukimori helps her father sell apple pies at the concert hall where Wish’s concert is being held. As Ringo could not get a ticket, she tries to bring a gift apple pie to Wish, but the security personnel rejects. Despite all that, she manages to get in and befriends Leila Takashiro and Natsuki Sasahara. Meanwhile, three animals (called "Ma-Pets"), Sei, Dai and Ryoku, arrive at the human world to find the three princesses to collect Happiness Tones for Fairyland. When the princesses (who turned out to be Ringo, Leila and Natsuki) are finally found, they eventually have a debut. Since then, they are known as "Lil'Pri" (short for Little Princess).
