On a Tuesday afternoon, the boys were wrapping up their interviews with reporter Susie Singleton when "We got an urgent meeting with the dancers" Cristian shouted, "Come on, we all know Big G hates waiting"
"Roger that" shouted everyone.
Later, the boys were with all the competitors for Let's All Dance Until We're Sick. "Hey" shouted Elliana, "Can we make this quick, I gotta moisturize my skin."
"Relax Elli" Matteo replied, "We just need to be patient."
"I can't wait anymore" replied Luciana, "I'm just really excited about this meeting."
"Girl" Madilyn replied, "You got hyperactivity of Roadrunner and we like it."
"You should be our new lead singer if something happens to ours," Emilio suggested.
"Sorry" replied Lucille, "But I don't do black and gross."
"You tell them" Messiah shouted."
"The only black and gross I would accept are Kamilla" replied Lucille as she hugged her.
"Easy Little Miss Diamond" replied Kamila, "Big G wouldn't like too much cheerful, remember last week when he yelled at Howie D for getting the lyrics to a nursery rhyme wrong?"
"Oh yeah" recalled Lucille, "But he was entertaining Raquel and Rosalee, plus they weren't wrong, they were just being silly."
When Big G came in, explained that this Friday is the premiere of Let's All Dance Until We're Sick. Though he is proud of them for their rehearsals and getting out every now and again for a two-month promotion and charity deeds, he's still worried that The Backstreet Boys could give them all ideas.
After they left, they saw a stuffy British woman with a makeup kit and a makeup crew behind her, "My name is Henley" she greeted, "Henley Grant of Granted Glim Hair Products."
Mr. Guidi was worried because he's usually doing the makeup. Big G thought it would be more extravagant to hire a foreign makeup artist. Also, promotion in England is very popular. Feeling annoyed, The Backstreet Boys decided to meet up with The Griff Gals at The Tiki Hut.
When they got there, they saw the girls wrapping up homework and starting on promotions. "Are you girls helping promote LADUWS" asked A. J
"You guessed it" answered Jessie, "I already placed up posters of it before school. Nadine did them yesterday at Draft to Craft Studios."
Mr. and Mrs. Booth was cleaning up a table when they heard the news of their promotion.
"Remember how we first me, Max," asked Mrs. Booth
"You were a college graduated from Oxford University majoring in business and came to America for work" Max recalls.
"That's right" Mrs. Booth replied, "Plus Father wanted me to promote his business in the USA."
"He was the vice president of Hart Insurance Company, "Peyton Seabrooke" and it was your responsibility that made me fall for you." Mr. Booth continued, "Despite my old boss giving me the rights to The Tiki Hut, I was terrible at responsibility."
"After you hired me for my daring behavior and my strong responsibilities." finished Mrs. Booth, "The rest is history."
With one snap, Mr. Booth decided to promote The Tiki Hut by giving a free sundae with every purchase of a LADUWS shirt. Mrs. Booth knew that Studio 25 own the rights, but at least it supports their daughter's passion.
At their table, the boys were figuring out what should they judge, "I'll handle the teamwork amongst the dancers" suggested Kevin, "A. J will handle the clothes, B-Rok will do the dancing, Nick will handle the song they picked, and Howie D will handle the movement of the main dancer."
"Those are good ideas Kev" replied Nadine, "While you do your interview for the website, we're going to volunteer in selling tickets for the show. All the proceeds will be going to the school's new dance team."
The next day, sales for LADUWS tickets were going on. Everyone at Sally Ride Middle School heard about the premiere. During the entire lunch period, everyone bought one ticket. Principal Popcock was impressed because it would've taken two days to sell the tickets. "This is what happens when you have it run on Backstreet Power"
"Those boys really have been a hand since they came to Studio 25" replied Principal Poplock, "By the way, what are they doing now."
"Their going to do an online interview for the LADUWS website" Dorothy explained, "Besides that, I heard from Howie D that a British makeup artist is going to polish their looks for the pilot episode."
Meanwhile, at Studio 25, The Backstreet Boys were being interviewed for the LADUWS website. After the interviews, to boys came out to find the contestants wearing the wrong apparel. Messiah wore an old-timey bathing suit, Matteo wore a scary swimsuit, E-Wave wore a dorky swimsuit, Lucille wore a sporty surfer suit, Kamila wore a girly bathing suit, Elliana wore an ugly tourist suit, The Ice Dancers wore swimsuits that were too loose, The Cruise Performers wore tropical apparel that was too tight, The Twins wore tropical apparel that looked too different, The Rockers wore perky hula outfits, The Foreigners wore American surfer apparel, and The Movie Stars wore swimsuits that belonged to a children's show. They were mad because Henley gave them the wrong looks for the premiere.
By a ficus, Skipper told the boys that he and the animals will spy on that suspicious Henley Grant. "Good idea" whispered Kevin, "Zanell is taking off and we need to know why."
"We better get The Griff Gals too" suggested B-Rok.
Very stealthily Beatbox, and The Penguins spied on Henley and her crew to the closed makeup dept. They were all celebrating on making Let's All Dance Until We're Sick a flop. "Making those gullible contestants someone their not is the best scheme I've ever come up with" smiled Henley evilly, "Thanks to our dear friend, "Mad Mod" tricking those policemen with a free spa day, we're able to get out and ruin those Griff Brats with a little personality trouble."
"Hoover Dam" whispered Skipper, "That woman is an identity changer."
"If the contestants don't change back to their old selves" Private whispered, "The show is ruined."
Quickly, Beatbox, and The Penguins snuck out to warn Cristian.
Outside her trailer Collingwood Lanes Trailer Park, Princess Zanell was putting up a holographic picture of Queen Zarina and a bunch of blue, black, white and red flowers in her honor. She also spread green oak leaves around her. At the same time, The Backstreet Boys and The Griff Gals were arriving. "This is like the Bon Festival in Japan and Dia De Los Muertos of Mexico" Jessie recalled, "Princess, what is this?"
"I'm honoring my late mother, "Queen Zarina" explained Zanell in tears, "This is where I got the idea of my persona. In The Zallegro Galaxy, we celebrate our deceased loved ones on a special day called, "Zio Zing Zon."
Everyone started to feel sad for her, "Your Highness" A. J said sadly, "We all know how we feel about losing someone."
"For me, it was my father," Kevin said sadly.
"For me, it was one of my sisters," Howie D said sadly.
"For us, it was our mentor," B-Rok said sadly as he patted Nick.
"What about you girls" asked Zanell, "Did you lose someone close to you?"
"We did," explained Faith as she started shedding a tear, "Millionhair's sidekick, "Hair N'Tairs". He was sick of her cruelty. During our last mission together in England, he freed us from a hairspray suffocation."
"As we were trying to escape" continued Ginger sadly, "Millionhairs shot him for treason. Believe me, she is one woman you don't want to mess with."
"Before he died," Dorothy continued sadly, "He told us "Love Your Families, they'll always look after you"."
All five girls remembered that Hair N'Tairs was, "Adrien Kyles" an aspiring hairstylist and cosmetics brand creator. He was part of Millionhairs' schemes because he needed extra money to promote his dream. A week after Faith, Ginger, Nadine, and Jessie returned to Orlando, they saw that Winston was selling Adrien's cosmetic brand, "Kyles Keen Makeup".
"We've been using his makeup since he saved our lives" Jessie explained.
Selah looked at the picture and laid down beside her, "This is just like my paternal grandmother, "Queen Alondra"." Selah cried, "Even though I never met her, I feel like she's with me. Before she suffered old age, my dad promised her that he would get married in order to take the throne. My mom was a minor princess in the Kitebene Griffin Tribe and she loved my dad for his bravery and remembering the fact that love comes in all forms and that everyone will love you more if you're being yourself."
Sensing Kehlani's emotions, Howie D can tell that her parents abandoned her after Dr. Zora tried to destroy Ocala National Forest and were too scared to go back. With one look of her pet bird, Faith started petting her bird.
After the boys told them about Henley Grant, Faith knew who they were talking about, "You guys don't understand," she said, "Henley Grant is Millionhairs"
