When Buttercup and Violet try to help their friend Daisy, they quickly realize they can't do it alone. Buttercup and Violet are flower fairies. They live in tree houses in the Whispering Woods. Although they are each very different, they have fun together, and each complements the other. Even though Violet is shy, she is smart and enjoys sharing in Buttercup's adventures. One day, their quiet and relaxing hours of daydreaming at the lily pond are interrupted. The grasshoppers are eating all their fairy friend Daisy's daisies! Buttercup and Violet want to help their friend but can't stop the grasshoppers without assistance. They ask for help from their flower fairy friends Cayenne and Chipotle, who are pepper flower fairies. They have to come up with an idea to make the stubborn grasshoppers go away. Fortunately, with all the fairies working together, they are finally able to defeat the grasshoppers by driving them away from the daisy field. Everyone is tired and dirty, but Buttercup and Violet realize that hard work is fun when you do it with friends. After their victory over the grasshoppers, celebrating with their friends is the best part of their day-and adventurous Buttercup learns that adventures can be found right here at home!
