Summary[]
Quincy is telling a fairy tale story about a beautiful instrument named Princess Bassoon (portrayed as Aurora the Sleeping Beauty) playing a happy song for the other instruments, until the grumpy wizard becomes fed up and casts a magic spell which puts Princess Bassoon in a deep sleep and nothing can wake her up. If someone could play the princess her happy song, she'll wake up again. The other instruments fail to play the happy song, so it is up to the team to break the sleeping spell before all the purple pebbles of the hourglass run to the bottom -- otherwise, the sleeping spell will last forever!

Plot[]
Once upon a time in the Rocket Room, the group is reading about the best fairytales and fables around the world. They read the story that Quincy read about the Sleeping Bassoon. Once upon a time, far in the castle, there's a princess named Princess Bassoon and plays music from Denmark. But then, a wizard puts the spell on her and puts into a deep sleep. The clarinet and violin cannot play their happy song. Suddenly, the purple pebbles start to fall to the bottom of the hourglass! If all the purple pebbles are going down, the sleeping spell will last forever! And then, Quincy knows that he can play the happy song with his trumpet to the Princess Bassoon and he can do it with his friends going to help him! So Leo pulls out his baton that they got the next mission about waking up the princess before all purple pebbles fall. They run into Rocket, buckle their seatbelts, do the pat sequence and BLAST OFF TO DENMARK!!!
After they blast off, Quincy plays his trumpet with Annie singing her microphone of singing the waking up Princess Bassoon song. Once they made it to Denmark, they get out of Rocket and enter the enchanted forest. Unfortunately, they hear some scary things of the forest: first, the wind blows the trees of an ominous music of cellos, because Annie thinks the trees are growling at her. And second, the evil flowers play the ominous music of tubas, because June is pretty sure that the flowers just snarled at her. But Leo tells them not to worry. The forest cannot stop them as long as they stick together and stay on the path. But then, the evil wizard came and uses his wand to grow roaring toadstool on the path! It's going to taunt the team! Fortunately, June knows a plan that she is going to use her super ballet leap to smash the roaring toadstool. But unfortunately, the wizard is going to grow 5 more roaring toadstools! So Quincy and June must do the team up power of using cymbals and doing a super ballet leap to defeat the toadstools. And for the final stage, the wizard makes the 2 biggest roaring toadstools in the world!! Now Quincy and June must do the team up power of using cymbals crashing louder and doing a super ballet leap harder to defeat the biggest toadstools! And now, the wizard is bounced away by another toadstool! Now the team must keep moving as Quincy is going to play his trumpet with Annie singing her microphone of singing the waking up Princess Bassoon song once again.
Then the team made it through the enchanted forest and enter the water dock of Mons Klint. Rocket transforms into a Viking ship and sails for the other side! But then, they hear the wizard once again, and uses the magic wand to pull Viking Rocket! It’s called, “BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY”! So for now, Quincy is going to play his trumpet of giving Viking Rocket more power to row. And now, Annie can sing with her microphone singing the song called "Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship!" with Quincy playing his trumpet to give Viking Rocket more power to row harder. But the Grumpy Wizard isn't surrender himself as he give more music spell onto Rocket Viking Ship so Annie sings Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship while Quincy plays his trumpet and soon, the spell is broken as they continues to sail and the grumpy wizard gets splashed by water as the wave hits the cliffs once they made it to the other side of Mons Klimt as Rocket transform back to it's normal shape.
After they sailed across Mons Klint on Rocket Viking ship, Annie sings the waking up princess bassoon while Quincy plays his trumpet and soon, a grumpy wizard is back and uses his magic wand to point at Quincy's trumpet and take it back to his workshop. Then, they heard Quincy's Trumpet which is coming from the grumpy wizard's workshop. So they all head inside the grumpy wizard's workshop which he make his magic spells and potions (The art is made of variegated black).
Once they're inside the grumpy wizard's workshop, Leo uses his baton to conduct while Quincy listens for his trumpet, but Quincy's trumpet isn't here because it sounds like a flute, so they listen over there and Quincy's trumpet is there and out come Quincy's trumpet and Quincy uses his trumpet to play sleeping bassoon song, soon, they made to through the other side of his work shop as they heard from the instrument who is sound worried as there are three purple pebbles left in the hourglass!
