That night, DJ Suki was talking to some friends via messenger for the city's upcoming International Cultural Festival. She mixed some traditional Filipino music but she got a videocall from her laptop. It's from her parents. She replied to it and a screen opens, showing her parents, two moth winged sprites were smiling at her.

"Hi mama and papa." She sighed.

"Diana Jane Suki Reyes, we've got good news!" Her father said. "The leaders of our diaspora here in Castle City chose you going to represent us, Filipinos for the cultural festival!"

"What!" She was shocked.

"We're so proud of you." Her mother added.

"We can't wait to see what you'll do for our part in the festival." Her father added.

After they turned off the call, DJ Suki sighed and felt so depressed that she thought of taking a flight outside. As she got out of her flat, Poppy saw her outside her flat with her head down.

"DJ Suki, your people chose you to host the Filipino section of the festival." Poppy squealed.

"Yeah, right." She said blandly.

"But you don't seem to be happy about it." Poppy said. "What's wrong?"

"Sorry, I just can't host that part of the festival." She sighed. "Or any kind of party, ever."

"What you're saying is that you never hosted a party before?" The butterfly winged sprite asked her.

"I did once, it was supposed to be a fun party but it turned out to be a nightmare!" DJ cried.

She narrated how she tried to host the party but she couldn't keep track of all the details on her own. She tried to operate a bubble machine but it got everybody soaked instead that they had to go home all sopping wet. DJ Suki was traumatized about it.

"At least nobody who got wet got hurt." Poppy smiled.

"Tell that to the Sprite who can't fly." DJ said.

"Who, your brother, Toby? He's alright and he had four weeks to heal his wing." Poppy said.

"Still, parties and festivals are so overwhelming." She said.

"But you DJ." Poppy said.

"That's different." She responded. "When I DJ, I feel the flow."

"But DJ, party hosting is the same way." Poppy told her. "Once you learn it, you feel the flow. And I have the perfect thing to help you, you can ask other Filipinos you know."

"Sure, but the only ones I know were Rose, my parents, Stella, Cheryl, Paulette..." DJ stammered.

"You could ask Rose, she grew up there." Poppy suggested.

"Rose, yeah." She nodded.

The next day, at Sweet Pop, DJ Suki was reading everything about the Philippines from the book that her parents sent her. Poppy noticed this and asked Rose to help her out. The young elf flew in to DJ and asked her.

"I learned everything about the country but I dunno what should I put for decorations."

"You can ask me." Rose said as she came up to her. "I grew up in the Philippines but a portion of it."

"Okay, can you tell me some stuff you know about the country itself?" DJ asked her.

"Sure." Rose agreed. "Any Filipino fiesta is incomplete without the banderitas. They're small, triangular pennants that were hung on the ceilings but I heard the cultural festival will be in Castle Park so the booths will have the banderitas hanging above the booth windows instead."

"Oh! I only remember my dad experienced seeing those back in Cebu." She said.

"So he experienced the Sinulog festival?" Rose asked her.

"Yeah, he watched them a lot, especially the reenactment of the battle of Mactan." DJ added.

"Wow, you learned about it from your dad?" Rose asked again.

"Yeah." DJ responded. "I remember they would sell souvenirs every year so you might expect something familiar from your homeland."

"Yeah, all the things I remembered seeing back at home." Rose sighed. "Like magnets shaped like fish, sea creatures and the whale shark, the booths are shaped like the nipa huts and other local delicacies and food too."

"We do that in every cultural festivals." DJ said. "We need something cool and unique."

"I got the yellow mangos that were delivered today in my home." Rose said.

"Thanks." She thanked her.

"How about dances." Rose said.

"We did the opening dance but they're usually the same." DJ said.

"Try showcasing the different dances in one presentation." She suggested. "I've seen many videos of dancers showcasing known dances in one presentation and they're so fabulous."

"That's a great idea, we could do that for the show." DJ agreed.

"I could visit you if you need help." The elf offered.

"My family are visiting so I'll ask them for help." She said. "I could ask you for help if I need to."

"Ok, good luck." Rose bade her as she went to work.

That night, DJ worked on her computer for inspiration until her relatives arrived.

"Hi, Diana." Her mom said.

"Hi mom." DJ sighed.

"Sweetie, are you okay?" She asked her.

"I didn't know representing my country is hard." DJ moaned.

"I know how you felt." Her father said. "I also had a hard time trying to make things right when I was chosen to represent my nation too."

"Really?" She asked them.

"Yes, it's overwhelming too but it's not bad to ask help." He said. "I learned about it from my Filipino friends for help and you can ask us for help too."

"Oh, like Rose." DJ stammered, mentioning Rose too.

"Yes, sweetie." He nodded.

"About the dance, this is the inspiration I got from Rose, she sent me that link." She said as she showed them a video of a dance group showcasing different folk dances to her parents.

"That's a great idea, we could show them to the others." Her dad agreed.

"I thought of the rap part to showcase the festival dances too." DJ suggested.

"That would be great, you should join the dance as Reyna Juana." He suggested.

"You mean the lady at the center of the dance, holding a statue?" She asked. "I don't know if I could do it?"

"You can search those videos of them you would find inspiration for it." Her dad suggested.

"Thanks, dad." DJ sighed. "I'll ask Toby and the others if they wanna join the dance showcase."

"That's a good idea, why don't you ask Cheryl, Stella, Rose and the others to join too." Her mom added.

"Sure." DJ agreed as they ended the call and she went back to sleep.

The next day is the preparations. Many of the humans, and the mythical races were setting it up while the others were practicing their dances for the presentation. Rose was walking by when she saw DJ trying to make sure everything is perfect.

"Hey DJ." Rose called out.

"Oh, Rose." She replied. "Just in time for delivering the mangos."

"Yeah, glad that I could come." Rose added.

"I just wanna ask you, will you join the dance showcase we're gonna put on for the festival?" DJ asked her.

"Sure." The elf nodded in agreement,

"Have you thought of an outfit you'll wear in the festival?" DJ asked her.

"My parents sent me a dress that is a copy of my great great grandmother's gown and this is what it will look like." Rose said as she showed an old picture of an elf in her cellphone. She is wearing a collarless blouse with bell shaped sleeves, a pañuelo, a fancy skirt with a cloth wrapped around her waist and she has a fancy hair comb, a necklace and earrings.

"Is that a Maria Clara gown?" She asked her.

"Yeah, it's worn by aristocrats in the old days and my great great grandmother is one of them." The elf answered.

"When the dance practice comes, I'll see what you're gonna do." DJ said.

"Okay, I'll see ya in practice." Rose said as she went right to her work.

After work, Rose joined the others whom DJ recruited for the dance showcase. Her brother, Toby is leading a team of sprites in a festival dance while Rose ended up dancing a traditional folk dance with five sprites. During one of the dances, a female faun with curly pink hair rushed to DJ Suki.

"Diana, Cherri is gonna balance seven pots on her head for her part, does she need help?" She asked her.

"She could manage, I heard she had grandparents living in the mountain regions of Luzon." DJ answered.

"Oh, I'd better be as fast as a buff banded rail for my dance." She said as she rushed to join her teammates to practice.

After doing their dance steps, they started doing the dance routine. They practiced their timing, their dance steps and the finale, where they would do a dance altogether while the others waved flags. They did it for days until the day before the festival came. It's up to DJ Suki to decorate and prepare the section.

"So, how are the preparations?" Rose asked.

"It's so tiring, but I can manage." She huffed and puffed in exhaustion.

"I notice you're not okay." Rose responded suspiciously.

"But I'm fine, really." DJ nodded.

"No, I'm your friend and you must talk to me." Rose said. "I'm worried about you and you can tell me what is wrong."

"Okay, I am having a hard time with this representative thing because I couldn't host the part of the festival and the role is so hard." She confessed.

"The role of a representative is hard?" Rose asked her.

"Yeah, it's overwhelming." DJ replied. "I couldn't keep the planning in the right track."

"I felt the same way as you did once." Rose said. "With my work."

"You do?" DJ asked her again.

"Yeah, I had so much work and I couldn't get them in time but Poppy told me that it's not okay to do everything on my own." Rose added. "You just need help sometimes."

"Really?" DJ asked with wonder.

"You could ask help from the other Filipinos, even your parents." Rose advised her.

"You're right." DJ nodded. "I should ask help."

"And you have to feel the flow too." Rose said.

"Poppy told me that once." DJ said, remembering those words that she heard from Poppy.

"Yeah, I know you can do it, just feel the flow." Rose smiled.

Suddenly, DJ Suki underwent a mental breakdown that caused her to remember her failed party. In the middle of it, a pink butterfly and a red dragonfly with Poppy and Rose's voices whispered the same words to her.

"Just feel the flow." Both the voices repeated.

In a matter if time, DJ Suki got up and starts to fly.

"Drop the beat y'all!" DJ smirked as she fly off to get back to work.

She starts to get right back to preparing the party on her own but this time, she's feeling the flow. Rose later joined in with the preparations. DJ flew around, preparing everything just in time before the opening until it's ready. The next day is the opening day of the international cultural festival and everybody is dressed in traditional costumes of their home countries.

"Poppy, your outfit is so flashy!" Branch blushed hard when he saw Poppy in her carnaval samba dancer outfit. He is wearing a mariachi costume with a sombrero.

"Thanks, Branch." Poppy thanked him. "Thought its kinda revealing."

"Wow, I can't believe you're wearing your mom's old samba outfit." Satin complimented. She and Chenille are wearing kimonos with hair accessories, traditional tabi socks and wooden slippers.

"It finally fits." Poppy said.

"Hey guys!" Rose called out. She is wearing a Maria Clara gown with an heirloom hair comb adorning her hair. She held a folding fan that match her dress.

"Wow, you look like a real señorita." Branch complimented her.

"Thanks, it's a replica of my great, great grandmother's dress." She said. "And it came with an heirloom comb from my grandmother."

"Are you participating in the showcase?" Guy Diamond asked her. He is wearing a silk ensemble, composed of a turban, a sherwani, traditional pants and flats with jewelry.

"Yeah, I'll be dancing the cariñosa." Rose replied. "I practiced with the others for days after work."

"I'll do a Bollywood dance with Gia and the others." Guy said proudly.

"Good luck, I'll be participating in the powwow." Smidge added. She is wearing a headband with a feather, buckskin dress with tassels and fringes with matching moccasins.

"Oh goodness, it's time for the dance showcase, let's get ready." Rose called out as they joined their teams to get ready for the show.

The showcase started as each of the groups showed their traditional dances from their heritages. Guy Diamond and Gia danced a Bollywood routine with their team, Smidge danced a powwow with her cousins, and some members of her diaspora, Branch played his acoustic guitar with a mariachi to accompany a group of dancing Mexican sprites, Biggie watched his team dancing a British dance onstage, Fuzzbert, Satin and Chenille do a dance using parasols in their routine with their team, and Poppy and her team of Brazilians did a samba dance. All of the groups do their best with their dance routines to impress the viewers. DJ Suki, who is wearing a sinulog festival costume, was nervous about it.

"I don't know if I could do it." She shivered.

"DJ, you already felt the flow when you prepared the party but you'll also do the same in the dance." Rose assured her.

"You really think I can do it?" DJ asked her.

"Yeah, we'll do great." The elf said. "We just have to do our best."

"Okay, let's do this." She grinned as she and her team get ready for their dance.

After all of the dance teams finished their dances, DJ Suki and her team finally show up onstage. Their dance first show the common ones, but at the moment the chorus was played, the next dances were shown. Rose did her routine gracefully as if she is living in the era of the Spanish colonization, which the next set of dances showcased. After them, came the tribal dances from the mountain province and after them, came the traditional dances from the southern island of Mindanao. In the rapping part, the festival dances were later shown, with DJ Suki dancing with Toby and his team. Her parents and everybody cheered for them louder than before as they continue their dancing. After their performance, everybody cheered and clapped super loud when they bowed and left the stage.

"DJ, Rose, you two did great!" Poppy cried as she and the other members of the Snack Pack congratulated her.

"I know you can do it." Rose added.

"Aww, it was nothing, I just have to feel the flow." DJ said.

"So, what do you wanna do now!" Branch asked.

"We'll try the other booths." DJ suggested.

"Lets go!" Rose cheered as they continue to join in the festival. As they join in the fun, the stars sparkle in a special kind of magic.
