Summary
Part 1
At the beginning of the special, on top of a wooden table, there is a map showing the land of the magical land of Bubbledom. During the introduction, the narrator explains that there has always been day and there has always been night. In a golden castle on the shores of the Western Sea there lived a very royal Sun King whose job was the make the sun come up every morning with the power of his magical ring. But far away in the mountains of Bubbledom, there lived an evil Night Wizard who didn't like the daytime at all. One early morning before the sun began to rise, he started to come up a scheme to steal Sun King's ring and make it nighttime in Bubbledom forever. When the scene fades from the castle to the forest, we see Molly & Gil crossing a bridge carrying 2 crates of lemons to the slushy stand they set up earlier. When a lemon falls out of Gil's crate, Bubble Puppy picks up and puts it back. The 3 friends arrive at the stand and the title card is shown, and the story had officially begun.
The story starts with the Night Wizard saying that it will almost be morning again to Raoul who is his pet possum. He even said that the 'dreaded sun' will soon be shining all over Bubbledom all day long and turns to the viewer saying that he doesn't like the daytime at all. He'll then start singing Night Night! with his army. The song then cuts to Mr. Grouper in the castle, then Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy at the slushy stand. It then cuts back to the Sun King's castle. After when Mr. Grouper sings "Each day's a new beginning", he uses the ring and shines it on the sun, making it rise into the sky. When the sun is up, Raoul falls asleep because he’s a nocturnal animal.
At the end of the song, the Night Wizard's army go inside the castle before the Sun King says 'Good morning'. The night army's leader then demanded the Sun King for the ring. But before the Sun King could answer, the night army's leader and the rest of the soldiers used their staffs and cast a spell to make the Sun King's soldiers and the Sun King himself fall asleep. With the ring taken, the Sun King won't have the power to make the sun rise again and therefore, it might be nighttime in Bubbledom forever.
On their long journey back the castle, the soldiers encountered a very strange sighting in the distance. Gil was shouting for customers to come get lemon bubble slushies. When Molly asked if there were any customers, Gil said there weren't any. He then tried again and looked in both directions but nothing seemed to work. Whilst they were waiting for customers, Molly explained to Gil that someone will pass by, and they just have to be patient. This time, they both shouted "Bubble Slushies!" very loudly. There luck was going to run out once more when Gil spotted something in the distance. They both knew it was some customers coming along the path to the slushy stand. When the both shouted 'Customers!' in excitement, Molly & Gil quickly got ready to sell the slushies. But because they were so excited, they rushed and collided into each other. What Molly and Gil didn't realize is that the 'customers' were the Night Wizard's army.
Molly & Gil then rushed up with a slushy and confronted the soldiers. They greeted them with a 'good afternoon marching lobsters' and offered them with a slushy to try. The leader told the slushy sellers to move out of the way, but the 2 sellers wouldn't give up and kept on trying, but the leader said once again to get of the way. They didn't get far when Gil stopped them again and offered a slushy. Just as the slushy sellers were giving up again, one of the soliders said that he was a little thirsty, but the leader rejected what he said and to get the 'you-know-what' (the sun ring) to the you-know-who. When one soldier said about the ring, the leader quickly shushed him and told the sellers to move out of their way. But Molly & Gil ignored them and showed their teeth to encourage the soldiers to try a lemon bubble slushy. The leader then gave up and decided to take the offer to try one along with his soliders.
Molly & Gil started to work on the slushies and the soldiers were all lined up to buy one. Meanwhile, Bubble Puppy was sniffing next to the leader's horse. When the horse turns its head, Bubble Puppy got frightened and ran off. Whilst he didn't look where he was going, Bubble Puppy ran into a chest and it opened itself. He didn't know what it was inside, but when he opened it again, Bubble Puppy figured out it was the Sun King's sun ring. When nobody was looking at Bubble Puppy, he got too close to the ring and it got stuck around his neck.
Whilst the night wizard's army enjoy their slushies, the leader's cell phone rang and he answered it, only to find out that the Night Wizard himself has called him to find out where they were. The leader explained that they were taking a break to enjoy some lemon bubble slushies. The wizard asked where the ring was, then the leader says it's all fine and told one of his soldiers to check the ring. So with that, one of the soldiers scurried to the chest where the ring was kept, but when he opened it, the ring had disappeared. The soldiers wondered who took the ring and then they stared at the slushy sellers. When Gil asked if the soldiers would like a refill, they got confronted and got demanded to ask for the ring. Molly asked about 'what ring' and said they didn't have a ring with them. Suddenly, they heard Bubble Puppy and saw that the ring was around his neck. Gil then swam up and said that ring doesnt belong to him, but he had trouble getting it off Bubble Puppy's neck and wondered how the situation could be solved.
Then the leader of the night wizard's army's phone rings again and to find out it was the Night Wizard again, asking where the ring was. He said that the ring was around the puppy's neck and wouldn't come off. The night wizard demands the leader and the rest of his army to bring the puppy and the ring to his castle.
Within in a few seconds, the leader told the soldiers to seize Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy. When they heard this, the 3 ran away as fast as they can, trying to get away. Without wasting any time, the soldiers grabbed their staffs and started firing them trying to make Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy fall asleep. Gil then grabbed a crate of lemons and threw them, making the army slip and slide to slow them down.
Then, Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy ran away through the forest to evade them. Whilst chasing them, the army kept going to only find out they've disappeared. They looked all around, but Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy hid up in a tree, looking down and trying not to be spotted. Gil then had a perfect idea by throwing a lemon in the opposite direction, making the army think they were very close to them and so, they went away. After the soldiers went away, the trio descended from the tree and wondered why they want Bubble Puppy, only because of the ring around his neck. After that, the 3 went far away through the forest.
Back at the castle, the Night Wizard was going to sit down when Raoul was fast asleep on his chair. He told him to move whilst telling that it was an important day to him and would appreciate that he should pay attention. But still, the Night wizard couldn't wake Raoul up. The wizard then sat in his chair whilst looking at his computer trying to find his army. He eventually found them in the middle of the forest. The Night Wizard called the leader of his army and asked for the third time about finding the ring. The leader said that they were working on the situation and couldn't find it. The Night Wizard then questioned about not finding the ring. The leader remembered the puppy with the ring around his neck and one of the soldiers cuts in and says 'and 2 kids' shocking the night wizard whilst asking about the '2 kids'. He then asks where they were, but the leader wasn't sure. The wizard then encourages Raoul to wake up, but he stays asleep. He then looks through his telescope to find Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy. He then finds them walking through the forest. The wizard's phone rings and the leader explains that they were cut off but the wizard quickly explains that they're getting away and heading for the Flutter Guppies realm.
Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy entered a new part of the forest which they've never seen before. Molly was worried that they were lost but at least they got away from the soldiers. Bubble Puppy chased 2 butterflies (one blue and one purple) until they disappeared into the bushes. Molly warned Gil that there could be wild animals in the forest. Gil calms Bubbble Puppy and said there was nothing, but when he looked through the bushes a deer popped out and scared Bubble Puppy, then Gil ran into a raccoon, then a rabbit, then a squirrel, but then they stopped when he saw a tiny ladybug on a rock who went on and said 'boo' making Gil scared again. He then ran up to Molly and Bubble Puppy. Just then all 5 angry animals confronted the trio and Gil wondered what they were all going to do.
From out of nowhere, lots of blue and purple butterflies flew over and started talking to the animals to calm them down. The butterflies eventually turned into guppies. The guppies told Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy to forgive their animals and they mean no harm. Gil asked who they are and they explain that they are the Flutter Guppies. Molly & Gil said 'the flutter guppies?' in a soft voice. Then they sing the Flutter Guppies Realm Song.
The Blue Flutter Guppy, curious about their visitors, asked what brought them to their realm. Gil, unsure of the term, questioned what a "realm" was. The Blue Flutter Guppy, eager to understand, sought clarification. Just as the concept was being explained, the Under Guppy unexpectedly appeared, providing a comprehensive definition of a realm. Surprised, the Blue Flutter Guppy wondered who had spoken. Suddenly, the Purple Flutter Guppy gasped, urging the Blue Flutter Guppy to look at Bubble Puppy. Recognizing the significance of the "ring of the sun" around Bubble Puppy's neck, they realized it belonged to the Sun King. Concerned about the dire consequences of the ring not returning to the Sun King before sunset, they knew they had to act quickly. The Flutter Guppies decided to follow Molly, Gil, and Bubble Puppy to ensure the ring's safe return. As they prepared to leave, a squirrel chittered a warning. The Blue Flutter Guppy, understanding the squirrel's message, informed the others that Night Wizard’s soldiers were approaching. They hastily departed, choosing a mountain path to avoid detection.
The Blue Flutter Guppy then says 'the mountains?' in a worried voice because that was the realm of the Snow Guppy. So they all continued on their quest to the Snow Guppy Realm.
The 5 fearless adventurers finally reached the Snow Guppy Realm and the Blue Flutter Guppy asks if it’s okay to pass through the realm. The Purple Flutter Guppy agrees and decided to call him on her phone. But there was one problem, there was no signal, so they tried again later. Whilst they were walking through the snow, everyone saw different snow sculpture like a bunny and a kitty. Gil wondered where Bubble Puppy was so he decided to go and find him. He eventually founded him by a polar bear sculpture. Gil told Bubble Puppy that it isn't really a bear, it was just made of snow. When Gil touches the nose, all of the snow falls off and Bubble Puppy gets frightened and so does Gil and they both ran as fast as they can. They ran past the girls and decided to follow them. They all ran through a snow hill and out of the other side to a dead end. They were trapped and had nowhere else to run. The blue flutter guppy decides that it's time to call the snow guppy again, and so the purple flutter guppy pulls out her phone and calls him. Then the polar bear's phone rings and answers it. The Purple Flutter Guppy asks if they could speak to the Snow Guppy. When the polar bear turns out and looks at everyone he transforms into the Snow Guppy. Then he starts to sing the Snow Guppy Realm Song.
The Snow Guppy asks what they were all doing in the realm, so they explained that they were on a quest to the sun king at his castle. The Snow Guppy asks what the definition of a 'quest'. Then, the Under Guppy appears again and says what a quest is; he then disappears. The Blue Flutter Guppy asks who it was again. The Snow Guppy asks why they’re going all the way to see the Sun King, he soon found out the ring around the puppy's neck and they think that the Night Wizard must've done something to the Sun King to steal the ring. The Snow Guppy even decides to find a way down the mountain and come on their quest to the Sun King's castle. Meanwhile, the Night Wizard was spying on the guppies to find out where they were and realized he had found them going over the mountains. He soon found his soldier team going in the wrong direction. He then decides to call the leader. The leader picks up his phone and talks to the Wizard. He said that they were getting closer but the Night Wizard told him he knows where they are and to listen carefully because he had a plan. The Night Wizard told the soldiers to be ready at the bottom of the mountains.
Part 2[]
Molly, Gil, Bubble Puppy, the Snow Guppy and the Flutter Guppies were journeying through the mountains to reach the realm of the Under Guppy. All of them, except Gil were looking down at how steep the mountain is and whisper to each other trying not to cause an avalanche. Then, the Under Guppy appears once again and explained what an avalanche is. In the distance, Gil is heared shouting to hear his echo, but the others tried to keep him quiet, but he didn’t listen and accidentally caused an avalanche. So everyone tries to evade from the avalanche, with the Flutter Guppies turning into butterflies and the Snow Guppy turning into a polar bear to give Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy a ride down the mountain.
The leader of the Night Wizard's army spotted the friends and ordered the soldiers to set a trap using bubble bites. After escaping the avalanche, the friends finally reached the bottom of the mountain. The polar bear and butterflies transformed back into the Snow Guppy and Flutter Guppies. The Purple Flutter Guppy warned that the sun will be down in a few more hours and they had to hurry to reach the Sun King's castle before nightfall.
Gil and Bubble Puppy were looked down into a ravine and wondered what it was; the snow guppy said it was the realm of the Under Guppy. Then the girls popped up to take a look down too. Then, everyone continued on the quest.
Bubble Puppy, exploring alone, discovered a trail of bubble bites while crossing a bridge. He couldn't resist the temptation and ate them all, only to find himself surrounded by four night wizard soldiers. The leader, holding a box of bubble bites, tried to lure him closer. Cornered and frightened, Bubble Puppy had nowhere to run. Meanwhile, Molly, Gil, the Snow Guppy and the flutter guppies followed the trail, their destination finally in sight—the Sun King’s castle.
Gil assured Bubble Puppy that the castle was just ahead, but when he turned around, he realized that he was missing. After calling for him, they heard barking and followed the sound. The Purple Flutter Guppy spotted Bubble Puppy being held hostage by the night wizard’s soldiers on the other side of the bridge. Bravely, the five friends approached the army, demanding the release of their friend. Just then, the Snow Guppy stepped forward and shouted "You shall not pass!". He then used his staff to make an ice trail across the bridge and froze one of the soldiers in an ice cube. With his staff, the leader of the night army used it to break the bridge. Luckily, Molly & Gil dodged the strike and moved quickly out of the way. Then, the leader shot the staff behind the 2 friends and infront of the snow guppy and the flutter guppies, making the middle part of the bridge the only piece left. Gil told Bubble Puppy to get to the castle before the sun goes down. Just then, the ring shone so bright, that it made the soldiers close eyes tightly. Bubble Puppy was free and scurried away to the castle with the soldiers on his tail. Then, a worried Gil and Molly realised that the middle part of the bridge was breaking. A few seconds, the bridge broke and the 2 fell down into the ravine, making the rest of the gang in a state of shock. During the fall, Molly & Gil bounced on 6 mushrooms before landing in a small puddle at the very bottom. Now, Molly & Gil were underground and continued their journey through a dark and dismal cavern. Meanwhile, Bubble Puppy was trying to get away from the soldiers and saw that he wasn't that far from the castle. Whilst Bubble Puppy took the left trail, the soldiers took the right trail and the night wizard saw that they were heading the wrong way again. The wizard then decided that he was going to go to the castle himself, whilst carrying a sleepy Raoul with him.
In the cavern, Molly & Gil were wondering if they could find a way out, but they didn't notice that the Under Guppy was following them. Gil thinks that they were outside and could see the 'stars', but Molly wasn't so sure and it couldn't be nighttime yet and just realized that they weren't stars. Then, a mystery voice could be heard and the under guppy appeared and said that they were bats. Gil then screams and told to be quiet. Then a lot of bats woke up and started to chase the trio through the cave. Eventually, Molly & Gil hid behind some stalagmites whilst the under guppy calmed his bats down and explained that they didn't mean to wake them and it wasn't nighttime yet. And with that, the bats went away and back to sleep. The under guppy then introduces himself and Gil asks if he's going to sing. He then says yes and starts to sing the Cavern Realm Song.
The Under Guppy revealed that Molly and Gil were from the world above. They confirmed this, explaining their fall and Bubble Puppy’s perilous situation with the soldiers. Curious, the Under Guppy asked why the soldiers were targeting Bubble Puppy. Molly and Gil explained about the sun ring. The Under Guppy then revealed that his bats were nocturnal, relying on darkness for sleep. Without the sun, they would be deprived of rest. He guided Molly and Gil towards the Sun King’s castle. Meanwhile, Bubble Puppy, seeing the castle in the distance, persevered. He reached the castle alone, only to find it very quiet because the Sun King and his soldiers were still asleep.
Just then, a mysterious shadow was lurking behind him, and when Bubble Puppy turned around, he saw that it was the Night Wizard.
Molly, Gil, and the Under Guppy looked at the sighting of the castle. They continued on but were stopped because the Under Guppy had something for them which was 'The Hoodie of Invisibility'. That means that when they put it on, they will become invisible.
The footage revealed that Bubble Puppy was imprisoned in a small cage by the Night Wizard inside the castle. Upon entering, Molly and Gil discovered the Night Wizard and the captive Bubble Puppy. As they hid behind a door, the creak alerted the Wizard, but they managed to remain undetected.
Gil suggested using the Hoodie of Invisibility to rescue Bubble Puppy, while Molly attempted to wake up the Sun King without being seen. The Night Wizard tried to cheer up Bubble Puppy, but the latter heard voices and realized that Gil, wearing the hoodie, was coming to free him. Gil vanished, and Molly sneaked past the Wizard to reach the Sun King, hiding behind the stairs to avoid being caught. The Night Wizard tries to use a feather to tickle Bubble Puppy to get the ring off his neck. The gate creaked open itself, revealing Gil, wearing the Hoodie of Invisibility. He swiftly covered the wizard's eyes with his hat and urged Bubble Puppy to flee. The Night Wizard got the hat off over his eyes and noticed Molly and questioned her presence, approaching her cautiously. Gil warned Molly to be alert.
Molly tried to get away from the Wizard, but he caught up and blocked her way. He then said that if they thought they were going to wake up the Sun King, they wouldn't stand a chance. Just then, the wizard's army showed up and surronded them. The sun was going down and the wizard said it was too late. He then tries to wake up the sun king and tell him the sun would be going down forever. He then demands for Bubble Puppy, but from out of nowhere, the Flutter Guppies showed and told the wizard to leave their friends alone, then the Snow Guppy to say the same thing to their dog. The Under Guppy appears with a simple 'hello'. The night wizard wouldn't because it was too late. The soldiers were told to the seize them, but 2 of them were chased by the flutter guppies who transformed into the butterflies, another one was scared by the snow guppy who transformed into a polar bear and 2 more were chased by the under guppy's bats. Then, the snow guppy (polar bear) roared at the night wizard and chased him too.
Now Molly & Gil had the opportunity to get Bubble Puppy to the sun king, but they were stopped by Raoul. Gil then had an idea by throwing a lemon from the slushy stand to get him to move out of the way. It worked, but the sun was going down quicker and quicker. Molly & Gil tried to wake up the sun king, but nothing seemed to work. The night wizard said it would be 'time for night-night', but ran away when the snow guppy was chasing him.
Gil then realized that the ring had to be pointed at sun to make it rise and without wasting any time, the 2 quickly raced upstairs where they could see the sun. The Night Wizard told his army to stop them before it was too late. Gil then aimed the ring towards the sun as the soldiers scurried up the stairs to stop them. As the ring was shining, the leader said to 'stop in the name of the night'. Suddenly, the ring shone so bright, it made the soldiers close their eyes. As the sun rose, it was daytime again which broke the spell and made the wizard very unhappy. And then, Raoul falls asleep. The Under Guppy explains that possums are nocturnal too.
Everything was soon back to normal when the Sun King and his army woke up from the spell which made Molly & Gil very happy. The Sun King realized the ring was around Bubble Puppy's neck and managed to free it and went back onto his finger. The Sun King wants to know what’s was going on. Then he saw the Night Wizard crying. Gil explained that he took his ring and wanted to be nighttime in Bubbledom forever. The Sun King went down to stop the wizard from crying. The Night Wizard explained about his plan to make it nighttime forever and they ruined it and everyone was going to have 'fun in the sun' and continues crying.
The Sun King tells the Night Wizard that it will be nighttime soon and it will day again. Then the Night Wizard asks what's so great about the day. Gil told him it was awesome, the Snow Guppy said that he could go sledding, the Purple Flutter Guppy said that the flowers will bloom, the Blue Flutter Guppy said that the animals can play. Then Molly told him that he can play with his friends. Then the Night Wizard says that he doesn't have any friends and once again, continues crying. Molly and the others said that they will be the wizard's friends, except Gil who wasn't so sure because of his actions to steal the ring. After Molly looks at him, and Gil turns around to look at her, he then decides take upon the offer to be the wizard's friend.
And now, a very happy wizard has lots of friends to play and asks what they were going to do. The sun kings replies with only one thing to do, 'to line up and go outside'. Then everyone starts to sing the final song A Brand New Day!. During the song, the night wizard says 'what a wonderful day' it was and the Sun King thanks him and that he really enjoys it. Then one of the Night Wizard’s soldiers told the Sun King that he was a little thirsty and Molly & Gil had 'customers' at the slushy stand.
As the camera zooms out with the map being shown, the narrator says that with the Ring of the Sun being returned to the Sun King, daytime was now saved forever. And forever would be told the legend of 'The Puppy And The Ring'.
Bubble Puppy is then seen wearing the hoodie of invisibility in the final scene with the title card and then he vanishes as the movie special comes to an end.Songs
