The episode opens with Penny Robinson daydreaming. She fantasizes about having a special, magical past, where she was really a Princess instead of just an ordinary girl. Suddenly, a pair of sparkling slippers appears on a rock in front of her. A disembodied voice urges Penny to try them on and a long red carpet unrolls at her feet. Startled, Penny shrieks and runs away. Hearing her scream, Will dashes over to see what the matter is. He stumbles and falls onto the red carpet which rolls itself up with him inside, and then vanishes along with the sparkling slippers.
