Summary[]
The Monkey King needs Kai-Lan's help, as the foxes and bears are mad with each other and he doesn't know why. Kai-Lan and her animal friends embark on a journey to help fix the situation.

Can Kai-Lan and her animal friends fix this predicament before it gets worse?
Plot[]
The episode begins with Kai-Lan and her animal friends playing a game of butterfly ball. Just as they're playing, a flying squirrel approaches them. But to their surprise, that squirrel is actually the Monkey King! He showed up to ask for Kai-Lan's help because in a magical kingdom of foxes & bears, they are mad at each other, & there is a wall in the middle of their kingdom. As a result, it's a problem he can't even solve. Kai-Lan & her animal friends go to the kingdom to ask the Fox King why they don't like the bears, because their dancing shakes the ground. Then they went to ask the bear queen why they don't like the foxes, because their singing is loud & extremely horrible. So, the foxes & the bears go to the wall & told each other why they are mad. Then Kai-Lan told everyone that the foxes & bears are friends. After that, the Monkey King turned the wall into a bridge. Kai-Lan then told the fox king & bear queen that they should call the place "the kingdom of friends". The Fox King & the Bear Queen said that they needed a princess, so the Monkey King states that Kai-Lan should be "the princess of friends". As everyone liked it, the Monkey King turns Kai-Lan into a princess, resulting in everyone cheering for her with fireworks. Princess Kai-Lan states that her friends should be "the knights of the kingdom of friends", so Kai-Lan turns her animal friends into knights. They then end the episode with singing & dancing.
