P.J. is soon summoned to help Peter, a lonely boy back on Earth, leaving Twinkle Town open to the machinations of The Cloak and Betty, who prefer things drab and dreary. Will P.J. be able to undo the damage done to Twinkle Town while still helping Peter?

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Literally. One of the things Twinkle Town used to smell like is used kitty litter.

* MakeAWish: PJ's wish upon a star ignites the plot.

* WishUponAStar: PJ's wish on the wishing star for someone to love turns her into a magical girl and brings her to Twinkle Town, which is made from children's wishes. Its inhabitants similarly wished on the star for someone to love them.
