The moth hypnotizes Moonzy, and Moonzy has a vision of where she was born, the moon, and her mother, but a meteorite struck her home, causing her to fly into the Earth. After the moth locks the door for declining Moonzy to reconcile with her mother, Woopsie and Poopsie start a brawl, which ends with them breaking down the door as Flip is about to unlock it with the key. Moonzy and her friends flee outside, while the moth gives chase, and it ends with him putting Moonzy and her friends to sleep.
The next day, Moonzy and her friends wakes up on a leaf floating on water, and spots a mountain. Moonzy finds her shell on what she thinks are rocks, but they are mushrooms, which Woopsie and Poopsie ate. The moth approaches Moonzy, and attempts to break her shell, but is incapacitated by Woopsie and Poopsie. On their way to the mountain, the moth spots them, prompting Moonzy and her friends to flee on a dragonfly, before they later fly right into a branch. As Moonzy and her friends wake up, Flip inadvertently drops Moonzy's shell, making it roll down a hole in the ground. Woopsie and Poopsie slowly pull Moonzy down the hole to retrieve her shell, but Flip starts to panic and interrupt Woopsie and Poopsie, causing Moonzy to be pulled down some more, but they later pull her back up, and Moonzy grabs her shell.
As Moonzy and her friends are almost to the mountain, a purple centipede emerges from the hole. Moonzy and her friends flee into a cave while the centipede pursues them. They finally exit the hole, and a giant rock falls on the centipede. As Moonzy prepare to fly to the moon, Woopsie and Poopsie intervene. The centipede wakes up, and finds them on the top of the mountain, and Moonzy and her friends flee from the centipede. As Moonzy's shell glows, the moth emerges from a hole, and throws its bag of sleeping pellets, lands on Moonzy's moonshell, and defeats the centipede with it, making it fall asleep. As everyone is gathered around on the top of the mountain, Moonzy's tummy starts to glow, and flies to the moon, finally reconciling with her mother.
Back on Earth, Granny Annie and General Stringer, Moonzy's grandparents, feel sad about Moonzy's return to the moon, and Woopsie and Poopsie are still learning to fly. Moonzy flies back into the pond, and reconciles with her friends.
