The three fairies appear during [[Ventus]]'s visit after [[Maleficent]] took [[Aurora]]'s heart using [[Terra]]'s darkness. Together, they descend into Maleficent's castle to retrieve her heart. After her heart is released, Ventus meets Maleficent in a battle and leaves after [[Aqua]] arrives. With Ventus gone, the three fairies find Aqua in a cell, where they meet [[Prince Phillip]], the only true love who can break the curse laid upon Princess Aurora. The three fairies help Aqua and Prince Phillip to the castle and defeat Maleficent in dragon form. At the end of the story, Prince Phillip kisses Aurora and breaks the spell.

The three fairies give [[Sora]] his new outfit after he wakes from his year-long sleep, as well as the [[Star Seeker]] Keyblade and the ability to use [[Drive Form]]s. Comically, they get into a brief dispute about the color of Sora's clothes, until Sora impatiently asks them to stop arguing and just decide. When Maleficent's Raven brings Maleficent's robe to the [[Mysterious Tower]], the fairies' memories accidentally bring her back to life and they rush to tell Yen Sid.

The three good fairies of the land first appear in ''Sleeping Beauty'' at Princess Aurora's birthday celebration to bestow upon her their gifts. Flora gives her the gift of beauty to have the gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the reddest rose and that she walks with springtime wherever she goes. Fauna gives her the gift of song, melody her whole life long, nightingales and troubadours that bring sweet serenades to her door. Before Merryweather can give her a gift, Maleficent arrives and is angered that she was not invited to the celebration so she also gives a "gift" to Aurora. She curses Aurora so that before the sun sets on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. After Maleficent leaves, Merryweather gives a gift to lessen the curse so that when she pricks her finger she will only fall asleep.

After the party, the fairies plan to hide Aurora and keep her away from Maleficent until Aurora's 16th birthday. They take her to the forest, call Aurora "Briar Rose", and act mortal in front of her. They take her to the castle before the sunset of her birthday where Maleficent lures Aurora to touch a spindle of a spinning wheel. The fairies arrive too late to help her and cast a spell on all of the people in the castle so they don't find out. They go to find Prince Philip and help him defeat Maleficent and break the curse.
