In a village inhabited by Insects, lived a majestic queen who just laid 3 eggs. When the larvae hated, they were all girls and were in different colors and personalities. Blue was the boss of the three because she was born first, Yellow was the arrogant one because she was jealous that Blue was born before her and Red was the nice (and somewhat sensitive) of the three. She's also the youngest.

When the queen died from old age, the three were left alone and Blue had took over the queen's slot. Blue was extremely gullible and was constantly manipulated by Yellow to insult herself and Red so Yellow could feel good about herself. By the time Blue became a teenager, she refused to listen to anymore of Yellow's pranks. By the time she was 16, Blue completely dominated the castle and threatened that she would punish Yellow if she kept attacking Red.

When Blue became a Pupa, Yellow was already 16 and Red just turned 13, Yellow decided to do all she can to insult and hurt her younger sister. Red became so upset that she ran straight to her room and cried all day. Yellow showed a lack of remorse to her and even went as far as calling the colors Red, Pink and Black (the colors Red were) ugly.

Eventually, Yellow at the age of 17 even decided to ransack Red's room and falsely accused Red of doing it. This made Red even more distressed. By the time Red was 15 (and Yellow was 18), she had enough and decided to clean up her room back to normal. Though during the process, while Yellow was plotting more devious ideas for Red, she turned into a Pupa. laughing maliciously during the process. Making Red the dominate one. But only for a Week until Blue emerged as a Butterfly.

When Blue saw how sad Red was, she told her that she'll handed Yellow because she underwent being attacked by Yellow too when she was a teenager. But she also told Red that Yellow would get her own taste of her medicine when she emerges from that evil cocoon of hers. After hearing that, Red's black abdomen begun to glow as she smiled for the first time in 2 years. Giving her hope that even the bullies get consequences as well.

By the time Red was 16, she was back to her joyful self and even explored the village despite everyone else was mocking her. For a year, she was the most joyful one in the village. By the time she turned 17, her abdomen was like a nightlight due to her emotions. A day later, Yellow emerged from her Pupa. She screeched in utter fear as she was now a Purple ball. She even went as far as screaming "Purple is my Least favorite color!" Red then appears telling her that the purple will only be temporary. As when 7 weeks end, she'll become orange!

A few months later, Blue got married and produced three more princesses Orange, purple and green princesses. When the town noticed, they all crowded to the castle and wondered why Red was still a cute larva. She replied with that she won't be 18 for another 5 months. Yellow stared at the purple larva and shuddered as Purple was her least favorite color. The city even went as far as thanking Red for her joyful personality as it motivated Blue to have larvae of her own.

The movie ended with Yellow vandalizing the screen with the words Hate the color Purple, like I do.
