Emma is shy and nervous about starting at a new school, but her grandmother encourages her to be brave and make new friends.
Meanwhile, the other four friends are busy at school, working on a project for the Heartlake City Pet Center fundraiser. Stephanie is in charge of the project and is struggling to keep everything organized with the help of her friends. Andrea is busy working on the music for the fundraiser, while Mia is helping take care of the animals at the Pet Center. Olivia, the resident science whiz, is working on an experiment to create a new type of plant food.
The girls' day takes an unexpected turn when they all meet Emma at lunch and discover that they share a common interest in art. Emma is excited to make new friends, but she quickly realizes that the other girls are already a tight-knit group. Feeling left out, Emma decides to focus on her art and create a mural for the Pet Center fundraiser.
As the girls continue to work on their various projects, Emma struggles to find her place in the group. She becomes frustrated with Stephanie's bossy attitude and the other girls’ inability to include her in their group. In an attempt to prove herself, Emma decides to create a grand mural for the fundraiser without any help from the others.
As the big day of the fundraiser approaches, tensions rise between Emma and the other girls. Stephanie is worried that Emma's mural won't fit with the overall theme of the event, while Emma is hurt that the others aren't acknowledging her hard work. However, when a last-minute crisis threatens to ruin the fundraiser, the girls band together to save the day.
In the end, Emma's mural becomes the centerpiece of the fundraiser, and the girls realize that they work better as a team than as individuals. Emma finds her place in the group as the resident artist, and the girls welcome her with open arms.
