Abby has no idea she can transform into a stunning Princess, the world sees Princess Abby wearing expensive designer clothes, and she sees her self in her plain jeans.
 
On his 27th birthday Ryan found out that he was adopted, and he was actually the son of the founder of the company he works at.  He becomes an overnight millionaire. Ryan throws a birthday ball and invites everyone.  Abby sneaks out, and transforms into Princess Abby.  She dances with Ryan – all is going to plan.  But the magic potion is running out, soon she will be back to normal.  She runs out the ball and Ryan chases after her.  She trips and cuts her lip.  Ryan wipes it clean with his hanky.  He chases after Abby and gets knocked down.  He is rushed to hospital. He needs an operation and needs a blood transfusion.  When he wakes up, he feels different.  He is transformed into Princess Ryan.  His legs need waxed, and he likes the attention from the male doctors.  The spell wears off and Ryan makes a full recovery. 
 
Abby takes on NIKKI, to work in the café. It is Nikki who realizes that Abby can transform into a princess. Abby finally admits her mouthspray is magic.
 
Ryan must find the beautiful Princess he danced with at the ball.  He does so and he knocks on Abby’s door.  She panics – she needs her magic mouthwash.  Princess Abby answers the door.  Ryan is so happy, and Abby’s double life has begun.
 
Ryan falls in love with Princess Abby, they have so much in common.  Movie premiers and many expensive meals later, mixed with cleaning plates and serving tables in the cafe and they are to get married. 
 
The magic mouthwash is running low – only a few sprays are left. 
 
She tells Ryan about her magic mouthwash and transformation – she stands before him without any makeup, beautiful hair and green eyes, not blue.  Ryan has to decide, did he fall in love with her looks or personality.  He can live a normal life with Abby, far from the billionaire lifestyle.
