A Hero For The Hoodwinks
Over in Dunwiddy village, the bridge was under repairs. As Sofia, Madeline and their animals friends walked nearby, a horse ran over, dragging a cart behind it.
"Biscuit, whoa!" A man yelled as he ran after the horse. "Calm down, girl! The bridge is out! Someone please help!"
"Let's do this, Maddie!" Sofia urged.
"Right behind you!" Madeline nodded.
Both Sofia and Maddie leapt atop Biscuit.
"Oh no!" Clover gasped.
"I can't watch!" Robin covered her face with a wing.
Biscuit raced towards the bridge.
"Look out!" One of the workmen yelled as she broke through the barrier.
As Biscuit neared the the hole in the bridge, Sofia and Madeline pulled on her reins, and managed to stop her before she reached it.
"Good girl." Sofia smiled as she and Madeline dismounted.
"Are you okay?" Madeline asked.
"Princess Sofia, Princess Madeline!" The man rushed over. "Thank you!"
"Happy to help." Sofia smiled.
After getting Biscuit and the cart clear of the bridge, the man reached into the back of the cart, and took out a pie.
"Please, have a pie." He handed the food over. "With our thanks."
"Oh, well... thank you." Madeline smiled.
"Come on, Biscuit." The man told his horse as he led her away. "You can't make me run like that, old girl."
"That was incredible, girls!" Robin cheered.
"So heroic!" Mia agreed.
"You just jumped on that horse, and boom! Problem solved!" Clover declared.
"Thanks." Sofia smiled. "It's fun to help."
"Oh, it must be nice, being the hero." Clover sighed. "Solving problems, gettin' pies..."
"Well, it's not all about getting pies, Clover." Madeline pointed out. "There's lots of hard work, and training."
"Never fear, horse!" Clover said boldly as he leapt onto a barrel. "I gotcha! Da-da-da! Y'know, I think I'd be a pretty good hero."
"Sure." Robin smirked. "You could be the 'Aww, adorable' hero."
Clover frowned.
"Or you could be the first bunny hero." Mia suggested. "'Hero Clover'! Report to Enchancia, some carrots need to be eaten immediately!" She giggled.
"Ha-ha, very funny!" Clover scowled.
"I don't care what they say." Sofia declared.
"Me neither." Madeline nodded. "You'll always be a hero to us, Clover. In fact, here." She placed the pie on the barrel.
"Really?" Clover smiled. "Thank you!"
"We should get going." Sofia declared. "We have to report to the Mystic Isles for some special Protector training, because being a hero isn't all about eating."
By that point, Clover had already eaten the entire pie.
"Sorry, Sof, you were saying?" He asked.
"Bye, Clover!" Madeline chuckled as she and Sofia rushed off.
"Carrots need to be eaten immediately!" Mia teased.
"Ah, what do they know?" Clover scoffed. "I'll show 'em what it takes to be a hero! Come on, Whatnaught!"
Whatnaught followed Clover as he scampered away.
Out in the woods, Clover was playing pretend hero under a willow tree.
"What's that, a runaway dragon?" He said boldly. "No problem, Hero Clover is here!" He pounced on Whatnaught. "I got ya, dragon! Now, run home to your fire-breathing mama!" He laughed theatrically. "What? No! Come on! What's this? A medal, and a banquet in my honor? Thank you so much!"
Clover mimed eating food.
"Please, no applause!" He declared. "I just do this for the people!"
Two Hoodwinks landed on the tree. Whatnaught to alert Clover to their presence, but they turned into baubles when he looked.
"Nah, those are just Wassailia decorations, Whatnaught." Clover shrugged. "...Wait, it's summer! Hero Clover, ready to investigate!"
Clover hopped up to the branch, causing the Hoodwinks to pop out of their disguises.
"Ahh!" Hidey yelped, changing back.
"No, Hidey!" Humbelle urged. "He's just a... uh, what are you?"
"I'm a rabbit." Clover declared. "Um, what are you?"
"We are Hoodwinks." Humbelle explained. "We came from the Mystic Isles to find Princess Sofia and Princess Madeline. They're Protectors, and our friends."
"I'm Clover." Clover smiled. "Sofia and Madeline are my best friends."
"You're their friends too?" Humbelle asked, as Hidey returned to normal. "Well, do you know where they are?"
"They went away for a while." Clover declared.
"Oh, dear." Hidey frowned.
"Uh... maybe I can help you instead?" Clover offered.
"Are you a Protector?" Humbelle asked.
"Yeah, practically." Clover nodded. "In fact, they said I'm their hero."
"You're Sofia and Madeline's friend, and their hero?" Hidey gasped. "That's impressive!"
"Hoodwink huddle-up!" Humbelle urged.
The Hoodwinks whispered among each other. Down below, Whatnaught chattered angrily at Clover.
"Whatnaught, chill!" Clover hissed. "Look how teensy and cute those fluffballs are. How tough can their problem be, okay?"
Whatnaught chattered some more, then scampered away.
"Ahem." Humbelle spoke up. "We accept your offer of assistance."
"Since we don't really have a choice." Hidey admitted.
"And you won't regret it!" Clover chuckled. "I'm just the rabbit to get the job done!"
As the Hoodwinks led him away, a flying unicorn trotted over.
"What, a unicorn?" Clover gasped. "Yo, classy!"
"It's the only way to get to the Mystic Isles." Hidey declared.
"Right, right, right." Clover nodded. "I knew that! I meant to ask... when I solve your problem, do I get something?"
"Get something?" Humbelle frowned.
"A reward!" Clover declared. "Like, say... a pie, or a parade, or a pie in a parade? You know, to celebrate my accomplishments!"
"Oh, uh, sure..." Hidey shrugged. "There could be a parade if you want. Or pie."
"Great." Clover smiled, as he hopped on the unicorn. "I am going to solve this one, two, three. You'll see!"
The unicorn took off, carrying them into the sky.
Meanwhile, Sofia and Madeline were at the headquarters of the Protectors, in the highest room.
"So, Chrysta, why are we way up here?" Sofia asked.
"Well, it's the safest place to learn your new skill." Chrysta declared. "It's a tough one."
"Ooh, great." Madeline smiled. "I like the tough ones."
"This is the toughest." Chrysta announced. "You're gonna use your Enchantlets to make wind-whips."
"That sounds hard." Sofia frowned.
"Yep, it's gonna take a lot out of you." Chrysta nodded. "Have you eaten? Good thing our Pep Apples are in season." She led the girls to a basket of apples. "Here, have a couple. You're gonna need your energy."
Both girls enjoyed the apples.
"Mmm, these apples are the best!" Madeline declared.
"Thank you!" Sofia agreed.
"Now, while you two munch on these, let me show you how it's done." She activated her Enchantlet's rope. "Observe."
Chrysta spun the rope around as fast she could, creating a powerful cyclone.
"Now you give it a shot, princesses!" She instructed. "Show me whatcha got!"
"Like... this?" Madeline spun hers around.
"Not bad for a beginner." Chrysta admitted. "You're next, Sofia."
"Okay, here goes." Sofia repeated the move.
Meanwhile, Clover and the Hoodwinks had arrived at the Hoodwinks' home. A pink Hoodwink was there to meet them.
"Where's Princess Sofia and Princess Madeline?" She asked.
"Oh, they're busy." Clover declared.
"So we brought Clover!" Hidey announced. "He's Sofia and Madeline's best friend!"
"This is Halt." Humbelle introduced Clover.
"Are you a Protector too?" Halt asked.
"Am I a protector too?" Clover chuckled. "Let's just say I've worked with Sofia and Madeline before on this type of hero-type stuff. So... what's the problem?"
"Well, some Wee Sprites showed up and took over our tree." Halt revealed.
"Wee Sprites?" Clover frowned.
"They said they were run off the Isle of Wee Sprites by birds." Halt declared. "In any case, the Wee Sprites are causing mischief, and won't leave!"
"The girls and I tangled with Wee Sprites before." Clover smiled. "I've got this. The trick is to get them to say they want to leave!"
There was a large crashing sound. Clover hid before Hidey and Humbelle.
"Okay, w-what was that?" He trembled.
"Oh, that's just the Rompkins." Halt announced. "They're our neighbors. They have this big party every year."
"The Rompkin Romp." Hidey winced.
"Right, Rompkins." Clover nodded nervously.
"What about our Wee Sprite problem?" Humbelle asked.
"Wee Sprites. No problem." Clover smiled. "I'm gonna take care of it. No sweat. Before you know it, you'll be singing my praises. Actually... yo, a song in my honor would be nice. Could you work on that?"
"A song?" Humbelle frowned.
"About my bravery, my skill." Clover smirked. "You know, something like... brump-ba-brump, ballad of the bravest bunny! ..Or something like that! You know, with the pie we discussed earlier."
"Okay, I guess." Humbelle shrugged.
"Alright, alright." Clover declared. "Clover's on it!"
Clover hopped towards the tree.
"He seems so brave!" Hidey smiled.
"He seems so hungry." Halt frowned.
"Well, he's dealt with Wee Sprites before." Humbelle noted. "What choice do we have?"
"'Bravest bunny'? Ha!" Halt scoffed. "I'm gonna find us a real Protector!"
Halt flew away, just as Clover reached the top of the tree. He tried to squeeze through a hole in the trunk.
"It's er... a little tight!" He struggled.
Three Wee Sprites were inside, juggling acorns. When Clover finally made it through, he fell onto a pile of acorns.
"Who are you?" One Wee Sprite asked.
"And why are you in our tree?" The second, a girl, frowned.
"And where did you get those ears? Did you lose a bet?" The third asked.
"Lose a bet?" Clover frowned. "No, I'm a rabbit! Look, the Hoodwinks asked me to get you out of their tree."
"Oh, we're not leaving!" The first Wee Sprite swung on a hammock. "We like it here!"
"Mm-hm." The female nodded, juggling some acorns. "It's cozy, and new, and fun!"
"Look guys, just skip to the part where you say you wanna leave, then magically float outta here, okay?" Clover suggested.
"Hmm... we can't do that." The girl retorted.
"We need a place to crash and trash!" The first Wee Sprite grinned.
"Besides, our Isle is completely infested with Badger Birds." The second Wee Sprite added. "And do you know how annoying Badger Birds are? So, so annoying! They're like more annoying than us, even!"
"The point is, we're staying!" The first Wee Sprite declared.
"For good!" The girl added.
"But I told the Hoodwinks I'd get you out!" Clover groaned. "Isn't there somewhere else you can go?"
"Where else are we gonna find a place that's this fun?" The girl asked.
"Huh..." Clover pondered.
Meanwhile, Sofia and Madeline were still practicing their Wind-Whips, creating powerful whirlwind.
"Fist time I've ever seen that." Chrysta remarked.
As Halt flew in through the window, she barely avoided being hit by the ropes.
"Ahh!" She yelped.
"Oops! Sorry!" Sofia apologized, catching Halt.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Halt assured her.
"A Hoodwink?" Chrysta frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm afraid we need some assistance." Halt announced.
"What's the problem?" Madeline asked.
"I think it would be easier if I showed you." Halt admitted. "Will you come? There's already a Protector there, a rabbit. But I don't trust him."
"A rabbit Protector?" Sofia mused.
"I didn't know there was one of those." Madeline added.
"Uh, there isn't." Chrysta confirmed.
"Clover is his name." Halt declared.
"Clover?" Sofia gaped. "Gray fur? Floppy ears? Adorable?"
"That's the one." Halt nodded.
"But he's not a Protector." Madeline pointed out.
"I knew it." Halt growled.
"You go check it out, girls." Chrysta instructed. "We'll finish training later. Just call if you need any help."
"Will do." Sofia nodded.
"Let's go!" Madeline declared.
Meanwhile, back at the Hoodwinks' tree, the Wee Sprites were still playing with acorns.
"You know what? You stay here." Clover smiled. "I'm goin' to the Rompkin Romp."
"The whokin what?" The third Wee Sprite asked.
"The Rompkin Romp!" Clover chuckled. "Never heard of it? Okay, the big fellas down there are having a huge party! The biggest in all the Mystic Isles! Everyone's goin'."
The Wee Sprites glanced at each other as Clover began to climb out of the tree.
"Okay, see ya, little guys!" Clover squeezed out of the hole and slid down the tree's trunk. "I'm headed to all the fun, fun, fun!"
The Wee Sprites looked through the hole, watching as Clover hopped away.
"Oh, I do like a good party!" The girl smiled.
"I wanna go!" The third Wee Sprite cheered. "Let's go!"
"We don't wanna be in this tree anymore!" The girl announced.
With a burst of magic, the Wee Sprites flew out of the tree. Clover hid behind a bush, where all the Hoodwinks were also hiding. They watched as the Wee Sprites flew by, then came out of hiding.
"And... you're welcome!" Clover grinned.
"Clover! Clover! Clover!" The Hoodwinks cheered.
"Oh, you're too kind, you're too kind." Clover said smugly. "But don't stop, ever."
"That was so fantastic!" Hidey cheered. "You got our home back!"
"To thank you for being our hero, we flew over to the Isle of Fairies and got you some sugar plum pies." Humbelle announced.
"Pies? Plural?" Clover smiled, as several pies were flown over to him. "Gotta love that!"
As Clover was enjoying his reward, Sofia and Madeline arrived.
"Clover?" Sofia asked.
"Ahh!" Clover yelped. "Sof! Maddie! It's you!"
"What are you doing here?" Madeline asked.
"I... I'm glad you asked me that." Clover gulped. "Because the Hoodwinks have been working on a song about that very thing. Right, guys?"
"Right." Hidey nodded. "A song for the best, bravest bunniest hero of all time."
Hidey: He's a bunny
Who laughs in the face of trouble
Just call his name
And he'll be there on the double
He's got no doubt or fear
From his fuzzy tail to his floppy ears
He's the boldest, bravest bunny of all time
Hoodwinks: His name is Clover
He's brave all over
If you've got yourself a problem
He's the rabbit you should call
Hidey: At first, he looked like he was a zero
But he turned out to be the Hoodwinks' hero
He got the Wee Sprites out
So for us, there really is no doubt
He's the boldest, bravest bunny of all time
Hoodwinks: His name is Clover
He's brave all over
If you've got yourself a problem
He's the rabbit you should call
Hidey: He's fearless, true and smart
And kinda funny
That's right
I wanna be just like that bunny
Hidey put on a headband with two feathers sticking up to resemble rabbit ears, and a fake fluffy tail.
Hidey: To me, he can do no wrong
That's why I wrote this song
I'm the number one fan of the number one superstar
Hoodwinks: His name is Clover
He's brave all over
If you've got yourself a problem
He's the rabbit you should call
Clover: Sofia and Madeline are great
And you know I really respect her and her
But if you can't get them
Then I'm your furry Protector
I Will come right to your aid
For some pies or maybe a parade
I'm the boldest, bravest bunny of all
Hoodwinks: His name is Clover
He's brave all over
If you've got yourself a problem
He's the rabbit you should call
Clover: Now you've got it, that's right
Because I'm the boldest, bravest bunny of all!
Just then, there was a crashing sound.
"That doesn't sound good." Hidey frowned.
"Clover, how did you get the Wee Sprites to say they want to leave?" Sofia asked.
"A little of this, a little of that." Clover said awkwardly. "Y'know, the usual..."
"Hey, cut that out!" A familiar, distant voice yelled.
"Oh, no." Madeline gasped. "It sounds like the Rompkins are in trouble. Come on!"
The girls, Clover and Hidey rushed over to the clearing, finding three Rompkins standing around as crashing noises were heard.
"Harrumph, what's going on?" Sofia asked.
"Princess Sofia, Princess Madeline, help us!" Harrumph begged. "We are scared of the monsters!"
"'Monsters'?" Madeline peered through the gate, seeing the Wee Sprites through the gap. "You mean the Wee Sprites?"
"Oh, yeah." Bang nodded. "They are wee in size, but crash, bang, huge in troublemaking!"
"Clover, did you get the Wee Sprites out of the Hoodwinks' tree by having them come over here?" Sofia asked.
"Heh-heh-heh... maybe?" Clover chuckled weakly.
"Ah, Clover!" Madeline groaned.
"They showed up, and we invited them in because they were fun and nice." Harrumph declared. "And then, boom! They were not! We've been so dainty, and now it's all ruined!"
"Oh, Harrumph, we're sorry." Sofia comforted him.
"Clover can fix it!" Hidey announced. "He's a big hero! How are you going to fix it, Clover?"
"Uh, um... l-let me think on that!" Clover said nervously.
"Hello, Wee Sprites? Hello!" Madeline called.
The Wee Sprites popped up at the top of the fence.
"And you are... who?" The first Wee Sprite asked.
"I'm Madeline." Madeline announced. "And this is my sister, Sofia."
"We're friends with some Wee Sprites in the Ever Realm." Sofia declared.
"Brody, Bengee and Button?" Madeline offered.
"What, you think all Wee Sprites know each other?" The first Wee Sprite frowned.
"Actually, Button is my cousin." The third Wee Sprite admitted.
"So we were thinking: as a favor to friends of a cousin, maybe you could stop making mischief?" Sofia asked.
"We're Wee Sprites." The girl pointed out.
"Mischief is kind of our thing!" The third Wee Sprite declared.
"Than why aren't you doing it on your own Isle?" Madeline asked.
"We already explained this to the bunny!" The girl groaned. "We had to get out of there because of the Badger Birds!"
"Hey, there's floppy ears!" The first Wee Sprite pointed at Clover. "Hey, you were right. It's way more fun here!"
"I knew it." Sofia glared, as the Wee Sprites jumped back down. "Clover, you didn't fix the Hoodwinks' problem. You just moved it over here!"
"I guess I didn't think about that." Clover admitted.
"But you're gonna fix it, right?" Hidey smiled.
"Right!" Clover nodded. "I'll send the Wee Sprites somewhere else, like, er... like up there!" He pointed to a nearby Isle.
"The Isle of Fairies?" Madeline frowned. "That's not solving it. That's just making it somebody else's problem again!"
"Then what do we do?" Clover asked.
"We have to get to the root of the problem." Sofia declared. "We'll go to the Isle of Wee Sprites, and figure out why the Badger Birds chased them off."
"Good thinking, Sof." Madeline nodded. "If we fix that, then the Wee Sprites can go back home, and everybody's happy!"
"I'm coming, too!" Hidey announced. "I want to see my hero in action!"
Shortly after, they were on the Isle of Wee Sprites, which seemed to be empty.
"Nobody's home." Clover noted. "This is kinda spooky..."
Sofia looked up, seeing blue birds with purple crests on the branches of the trees.
"Those must be the Badger Birds." She noted.
"They can't be so bad." Clover declared. "They're tiny."
Suddenly, the Badger Birds swarmed, making high-pitched squawks.
"Hi! Hi! Hi!" They screeched.
"I was wrong!" Clover hid behind Hidey. "They're bad!"
"Shoo, birds!" Madeline yelped, as the Badger Birds pecked at her and Sofia.
"Get off me!" Clover yelled, as the birds attacked him.
A nearby cottage door opened, a Wee Sprite poking out. Seeing the trouble, he rushed back inside his house, grabbed a pot, then ran outside. He threw a ball from inside the pot towards them. The ball created a cloud of smoke that drove off the Badger Birds.
"Follow me!" The Wee Sprite urged. "that won't hold them off for long!"
"I wish for us to be small." Madeline said as she held her Amulet and Sofia, and Sofia held Clover.
They all shrank to Wee Sprite size.
"Yo, I'm so tiny!" Clover smiled.
They all followed the Wee Sprite as he rushed back into his house.
"Wow, I can see why the Wee Sprites left." Clover noted. "Those birds give 'annoying' a bad name!"
"Thanks for saving us." Sofia told the Wee Sprite. "I'm Sofia, and this is Madeline, Hidey and Clover."
The Wee Sprite held out his hand for Clover to shake. When he did, it made a loud buzzing noise.
"Ahh!" Clover yelped.
The Wee Sprite laughed.
"I'm Buzzer!" He announced. "Nice to meet ya. ...I'm sorry. Pranks are sorta my hobby. I make prank potions, prank powders, prank potion powders. potion prank potions..."
"Why are you still here?" Hidey declared. "Aren't you afraid of those birds?"
"Yeah, they are a bit of a nuisance." Buzzer admitted. "Guess that's what I get for bringing them here..."
"You brought them here?!" Hidey gasped.
"Just one, from the Isle of Magical Birds." Buzzer nodded. "I couldn't help it. I mean, what's funnier than a really annoying bird?"
"I can think of a few things." Madeline frowned.
"Well, try one little Badger Bird and its hi, hi, hi thing, and oh, how we laughed!" Buzzer recalled. "And then I got this great idea. What if there were more than one? So I dunked it in the cloning potion, and now there are two!" He pointed to a cauldron. "Which is a hoot! But then they slipped out of my hands and went for a little swim,nd they just started multiplying! Next thing I know, there's a whole flock of 'em! All the other Wee Sprites couldn't take it and left."
"But you stayed behind?" Sofia asked.
"Well, I kinda feel responsible." Buzzer shrugged. "It was just supposed to be a little prank."
"It's okay, Buzzer." Madeline smiled. "I think we can help you."
"We're Protectors." Sofia grinned.
"Me, too." Clover added.
"Now, if we just had something to attract the Badger Birds..." Madeline mused.
Buzzer looked around, then brought out a bag of leaves from under a table.
"Savor Leaves." He explained. "Badger Birds can't resist 'em!"
"Okay then." Sofia nodded. "We'll use the leaves to trap them, and then bring them back them back to the Isle of Magical Birds."
"Sounds simple enough." Madeline nodded.
"And what are you gonna do, Clover?" Hidey asked. "Something heroic, right? Something... super-spectacular?"
"Oh, you'll see." Clover declared. "You're gonna wanna throw me the biggest parade ever!"
"I can't wait!" Hidey beamed.
"Now, how do we get your attention?" Sofia asked.
"Leave that to me!" Clover hopped up and grabbed a branch from inside the bag. Then he rushed outside. "Come on and get it, Badger Birds!" He waved branch in the air. "I got the leaves you like!"
"Clover, wait!" Madeline yelled, as the others rushed outside.
"Hi, hi, hi!" The Badger Birds chirped as they all swooped down on Clover.
"Incoming!" Clover yelped.
Clover hopped back into Buzzer's cottage, with the Badger Birds following. Once they were all inside, he hopped back out and closed the door.
"Let the parade begin!" Clover cheered.
"Clover, you did it!" Hidey beamed.
"You did it, alright." Buzzer glared. "You trapped them in my house with a cloning potion!"
"Oh no!" Hidey gasped. "You mean they're...?"
"Multiplying!" Buzzer yelled, as the screeching inside the house grew louder. "Over and over and over again!"
"Clover, that wasn't part of the plan!" Sofia frowned.
"Why did you do that?" Madeline asked.
"I don't know!" Clover groaned. "I guess... I just wanted to be like you, girls! Be the hero, get the rewards..."
"We don't do this for rewards." Sofia pointed out. "Or parades, or pies."
"We do it because we want to help." Madeline confirmed.
"Ohh..." Clover sighed.
"Don't worry." Hidey declared. "I'm sure Clover has an idea. You've probably been through lots of tough situations like this, right, Clover?"
"I... I don't know, Hidey." Clover admitted. "I'm not sure if I am who you think I am."
"You're a big hero." Hidey told him.
"I'm not a hero!" Clover confessed. "And I'm no Protector. I'm... I'm just a plain old bunny."
"Guess I don't need these anymore." Hidey took off her bunny ears and tail and walked away.
"Clover, you're not a plain old bunny." Sofia told him.
"Yes, I am." Clover retorted. "I'm nothing but Badger Bird bait."
"Don't say that!" Madeline urged. "Just... focus on how we can get those birds out of there, and capture them!"
"Okay, let's see..." Clover mused. "I guess we should build a trap, like you were probably gonna do before I messed everything up..."
"Oh, here! We can use this!" Buzzer picked up a large pink sheet. "We get them to fly over the trap, then cinch 'em right up! I'll just get a little rope to tie it off..."
"And we'll open the door and let all the birds out." Sofia added.
"But you'll get swarmed!" Clover pointed out.
"We have to try." Madeline declared.
"No, girls. I have to try." Clover said firmly. "You saw how fast I was before. I'm the only one who can open the door, and still get out of the way of that swarm."
"Clover, you don't have to prove to anyone that you're a hero." Sofia told him.
Clover glanced over at Hidey, who was still sadly walking away.
"Yes, I do." He nodded. "I have to prove it to myself. You just be ready with that trap."
"Okay." Madeline sighed.
"But be careful." Sofia added.
As Clover, stood by the door, branch ready, Sofia and Madeline checked on Buzzer's progress.
"Trap's ready!" He smiled.
"I wish to be big again." Madeline held her Amulet and Sofia, returning them to normal size.
The girls and Buzzer picked up the rope.
"The trap is all set!" Sofia declared.
Hidey flew over to help.
"Clover, over here!" Madeline called.
Clover opened the door and hopped inside.
"Come on and get it, Badger Birds!" He called. He rushed back outside, the Badger Birds following. "Sofia, Madeline! Do your thing! Hurry!"
The girls, Buzzer and Hidey held the sheet up so it formed a wall. Clover rushed under the sheet, and the Badger Birds crashed into it. The force of the impact pulled the sheet and those holding it down, but caused the Badger Birds to end up trapped.
"Got 'em!" Buzzer smiled.
"Clover, you did it!" Sofia smiled.
"Wow, I guess I did!" Clover cheered.
"Clover, that was so brave!" Hidey rushed over. "You are a hero! I'm gonna throw you the biggest parade ever in the history of forever!"
"Okay then." Madeline held up the sheet, now holding the Badger Birds. "First, we take these guys back to the Isle of Magical Birds."
"Then we go tell the Wee Sprites the good news." Sofia added.
Later, the girls, Buzzer and Clover finished explaining things to the Wee Sprites.
"You mean, we can go home?" The first Wee Sprite asked.
"Thanks to these three heroes over here, the Badger Birds are gone!" Buzzer confirmed. "And I solemnly promise never to clone such an annoying bird ever again."
"And we get to go home!" The girl added. "We don't want to stay here anymore! We want to go to the Isle of Wee Sprites!"
The Wee Sprites flew up into the air.
"Yeah, let's go!" The third Week Sprite declared. "It's about time!"
"Yeah, we broke everything here!" The first Week Sprite added.
"Bye, Rompkins!" Buzzer waved. "Don't forget to write!"
Bye! Never come back!" Harrumph waved. He and the other Rompkins went back in their home. "Bye!" He waved to the others.
As Clover and the girls made to leave, Hidey and Humbelle flew over.
"Clover, we made something for you." Hidey declared.
"We heard what you did up there." Humbelle added. "We want you to have this award of valor." She gave Clover a medal.
"Aw, thanks." Clover said humbly. "But Sofia and Madeline should get this. They're the real Protectors. I couldn't have done it without 'em."
"Maybe, but you're our Protector." Hidey hung the medal around Clover's neck.
"Away..." Clover wiped away a year. "I'll never take it off."
Madeline picked up Clover.
"It's like we told you." She smiled. "You'll always be our hero, Clover."
"Always." Sofia added.
The girls hugged him, then headed for home.
