Fei Fei’s mother falls ill, and gifts her daughter a bunny named Bungee, before passing away. Four years later, she is upset when she learns that her father is engaged to Mrs. Zhong, and is annoyed by her son, Chin. She decides to build a rocket to prove that Chang’E is real, and designs a rocket that resembles a Chinese paper lantern in the shape of a rabbit that uses fireworks to boost her speed. Her rocket almost succeeds until she realizes that Chin snuck aboard her rocket and they begin to crash to earth. They crash land after being beset by playful spirits, who then rescue them and take them to Lunaria. There, Fei Fei meets an exiled Lunarian named Gobi.
