At Regal Academy, the Princely Competition is in full swing, where princes all over the fairytale world arrive to compete and test their princeliness, with the winner automatically getting an A+ on the Chivalry exam and Grandpa Charming's magic charming cloak. With Grandpa Charming himself presiding as this year's judge, the competition heats up as the princes go through treacherous trials after trials, but Vicky and Kira plot to steal the cloak for the Snow Queen. With Hawk and Travis clinching only 3rd and 4th respectively in the first damsel-saving round, Astoria, Rose and Ling Ling attempt to train them with the help of Grandpa Charming, and Joy training Esquire Frog instead. As the next round of the competition begins, Travis and Hawk participate confidently with their female partners in a test of dragon dancing, but Vicky and Kira have armed Earl, the grandson of Grandpa Charming's old enemy Prince Surly, with cheat potions to win and earn the cloak for them. Astoria also turns Shawn down when he offers her to be his partner. Finally, a three-legged race eliminates Travis, but Hawk manages to make Earl lose his partner Kira, causing him to be disqualified despite finishing first. When Earl steals the cloak in desperation and turns everyone against them, Hawk manages to protect Alisha, Shawn, Rose and Joy with his family Mirror Shield, and with Rose's Glass Slippers and Joy's Frog Box, retrieves the cloak, winning the contest along with Shawn, who had crossed the finish line with him at the same time. Meanwhile, Ruby hears of the news and vows to steal Hawk for herself. ^[36]

The party gives Kira an idea to wreck some havoc, especially since Sleeping Beauty has invited the Evil Fairy to prevent a similar curse from befalling her grandchildren. Teamed up with the Snow Queen and the Evil Fairy to trap everyone in the castle, Kira, Vicky and Cyrus manage to put Joy, Ambrosia and Ardonis to sleep with potions, and continue to split up throughout the castle to do the same to everyone else. Astoria stay behind to take care of those who have fallen asleep whilst Rose, Hawk, Travis and Ling Ling rush to find everyone and return them to safety.
