Plot summary[]
It is time for The Harvesting festival in the Great Plains. The last Crown Jewel is somewhere in the region, but the Jewel Riders have no idea where exactly since there is no news of a wild magic outbreak, so they joined the celebrations to spend time, dressed in their party clothes. Drake is also there but now going out with Tamara, so Princess Gwenevere is stuck on a boring date with Lord Batton. Gwen gets tired of hanging out with him, so she and Sunstar ditch the party and fly away towards Dreamfields, seeking an adventure.
After a flight over the plains, the two find themselves in a strange castle besieged by a huge dragon that wants to eat them. Gwen's Sun Stone does not work, but a mysterious knight shows up in a silver armor on a great white horse to save them, chasing the dragon away. The hero reveals himself to be Drake, but then runs off to save other maidens. And then it all turns out to be a dream.
But Gwen did enjoy being saved by Drake, so she has Sunstar return to the party to fetch him so he can romantically "rescue" her. Wandering away, she finds herself at the oddly modern-looking Crystal Mall. Gwen goes on a shopping spree, but soon is distracted by a portrait of her married to Drake.
Gwen's mother, Queen Anya, appears to explain that the Dreamfields can help people find what they are looking for. Suddenly, Anya transforms into her evil twin sister Lady Kale who has entered the dream and the entire place turns into its dark version. With her Dark Stone, Kale manipulates the dream so that she ends up 'purchasing' the Crown Jewel of the Dreamfields from the princess acting as store cashier. Gwen realizes Kale is trying to use the dream to get the Crown Jewel. She wakes up from that nightmare, but soon walks into another one.
This time, Gwen is in the Friendship Ring and finds herself facing Merlin, who tells her that it is time to pass the royal Sun Stone on to a new Jewel Rider candidate in the Circle of Friendship ceremony. That person turns out to be a teenage self of Kale, who claims the Sun Stone for herself and is given it by 'Merlin' (really one of Kale's dweasels) just as she once so desired.
Gwen and her aunt end up swapping their jewels, which also does weird things to their personalities, switching them for each other: Kale turns into a queen of Avalon and becomes good and loving, while her niece becomes power-hungry and spiteful. However, Kale soon realises something is wrong and regains her normal personality. Meanwhile, the other Jewel Riders finally notice that Gwen is missing after Drake is informed how Gwen wanted him to save her. Moondance tries to locate her.
Back in the dream, the Dark Stone and Kale continue to corrupt Gwen, who remains cold and mean. They are now in a scene set in the Crystal Palace, where they take turns sitting on Anya's throne as they both talk about power and being a queen. Kale comes with the idea to combine the powers of the Sun Stone and the Dark Stone to find the Jewel of the Dreamfields. The jewel is summoned, but it is always just out of their reach.
Gwen begins becoming mad with power and starts fighting with Kale, but Sunstar and the other Jewel Riders arrive just in time to snap her out of it. Gwen understands that "kindness and consideration for others is the real power" and then her nightmare is over.
However, Lady Kale is still in the Dreamfields (now again with the Dark Stone), and there is still a Crown Jewel to secure. The Jewel Riders make an Enchanted Jewel Circle and change the scene to the Friendship Ring.
Kale changes the setting to the courtyard of her dark Castle Thornwoods, where the Jewel of the Dreamfields reappears over her throne. But when she touches it, flowers rain down and the gloomy courtyard transforms back to the Friendship Ring.
The scene is of a magical party where everyone dances in pairs: Gwen with Drake, Kale with her dragon Grimm, Tamara with Fallon, and the dweasels with each other. Drake proposes to Gwen and admits that he wants to prove himself to her. The engagement ring turns into the real Jewel of the Dreamfields but then it flies over towards Kale and Grimm.
But when Kale is about to claim it, she sees Gwen with her friends and steps back from the jewel, claiming that it is out of her reach. Gwen returns the Crown Jewel to the Jewel Box, and Merlin shows up with advice: If you have love in your heart, you can accomplish your dreams.
They are back in the real world, where they see Kale brooding nearby. Gwen walks to her aunt and tells her that Kale still has goodness inside of her and one day it may prevail, but Kale flatly denies this and leaves.
The Jewel Riders discover that they were experiencing Drake's dream at the end, which Gwen thinks is lovely. Lord Batton arrives, and the girls all pile on top of him.
