In the Hartfeld High gymnasium, the student body was putting up Halloween decor. Will was one of the supervisors along with another teacher who was an obese, yet beautiful, woman. She was the girls' homeroom teacher. "Mrs. Dean, be careful of those Halloween lights," Will said. "We don't anymore defacing of school property."

"Principal McLean would not be okay with this," Mrs. Dean said,."You know how much he hates Halloween."

"I know," Will replied. "But this is a fundraiser to help renovate the music department. It doesn't get fixed overnight."

"That's true," Mrs. Dean replied. "What did he say about it?"

"He told me that I was throwing a fundraiser party," Will replied, "but I didn't tell him it was Halloween-themed. Around this time of year, he spends the week in the Berkshires Mountains."

Rochelle, Lara, and Sasha started putting up some Jack-O-Lanterns with paint on them, complaining why they got in on this. Lara reminded Rochelle that this was detention for playing the new app game "Vainy Vera," where they helped her with her shopping. They would also not get their phones back until the decorating was over.

Will had a feeling that this would be the best Halloween fundraiser ever.

In Jeivia, King Jeiva was smelling with joy because it was his birthday today. He saw some peasant children making Jeiva-Lanterns for him. "Jeiva-Lanterns," he smiled, "perfect for our Halloween horror." He looked around to see more birthday decor going around. This is when he came up with another idea to go into the human world for Halloween.

Meanwhile at Vandom's Animal Kingdom, Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison were watching their bearakeets playing with the hamsters. Will was selling some pumpkin chew toys when they saw the girls feeling upset. "What's wrong, girls?" she asked.

"This is my first Halloween in America," Peggy explained, "and I can't make up my mind on what to wear."

"I was going to dress as a police woman for Halloween," Rayne explained, "but the twins used it for their stray dog capturing and the dogs chewed them."

"Tia Delfina has been completely busy putting up how to make your own costume books," explained Isadora, "and suggested that I should do it. I'm really good at drawing and designing clothes, but I couldn't find the right costume either. I thought about a princess, but I was that last year. Then a cat, but Cousin Damien is scared of cats. Then I thought about Carmen Miranda, but Cousin Melanie is dressing up like her. So there's the problem here."

"About me," Mahi replied. "Usually, we celebrate by committing arson, stealing Halloween candy from toddlers, and teepee and egging houses. I just don't have the money for a costume."

"Our family's budget is too tight right now for Halloween costumes," Addison explained, "so my sister would be wearing the costume I wore last year. We share the same size."

"You mean Mae?" asked Peggy.

"Yeah, her," Addison replied in annoyance. "She's always touching my stuff and never cleans up after herself."

"Technically, Add," Isadora said, "some younger siblings don't clean up after themselves. Take my sister Felipa for example. She always sneaks into Damien and Tobias's room and sometimes leave behinds potato chips. Tia Delfina doesn't like it when she leaves behind potato chips, because she thinks they'll attract rats and she's deathly afraid of rats. Also, Felipa is dressing up as a dragon princess this year."

"You were a 1950s girl?" asked Peggy.

"Of course, Peggy," Addison replied.

Will snapped her fingers and realized something. "I think I have a solution," she smiled. She got out a box and revealed five red costumes.

"Witch costumes?" asked Mahi.

"I'm friends with the owner of the thrift store, Handy Heaven," Will explained. "She overstocked on some Halloween costumes, so she gave me these costumes for free."

"If only this comes in teal," Rayne said as they acidentally turned teal.

"Rayne?" Mahi asked. "Did you just do that?"

"Make Peggy's witch costume pink," Rayne replied. "And make Mahi's orange, Isadora's blue, and Addison's green."

The red costumes had turned into their signature colors. "Looks like you got a new power," Addison suggested.

"I know," replied Rayne. "Can't wait to rub it in the twins' faces."

"What about you and Alexa?" asked Mahi. "What are you guys going to be?"

"You'll see," replied Will.

The next day was the Hartfeld High Halloween Party. Everyone was dressed up in really cool costume. Rochelle, Lara, and Sasha were all dressed as scary nurses, because they knew that some people are scared of needles. "Witches?" Rochelle asked. "You got to be kidding."

"Hey" shouted a Vietnamese girl in a '50s costume. "Those are some really good costumes."

It was Addison's younger sister, Mae. She was wearing her sister's 1950s outfit. which bothered Addison, who sneered, "You had to wear my old costume."

"Grandma said that we have to share," Mae replied.

"That is a genuine 1950s costume," Addison replied with a scowl. "You have no idea how many stores have a realistic 1950s costume."

"Come on," Mae replied, "Grandma and Grandpa got this for you last year because they want your Halloween to be more convincing. You also won last year for Most Convincing Costume."

"And I thought I bickered with others like that," Mahi said to herself.

Peggy started to get a few migraines. "I sense danger," she said, "by the school's rooftop."

Will and Alexa came up dressed in African apparel, knowing that they needed a distraction. Will rushed up to the intercom and announced, "Okay, folks. It's time to learn the Thriller, and then we're giving out medals for the best costumes."

Alexa escorted the five girls out into the hallway, so they could find the monsters. "Go," Alexa whispered. "I'll hold some of the competitors off with an African style of 'Thriller'."

"By the way," Peggy smiled, "great costume."

Guardians Unite

The girls transformed into their PRIMA apparel.

Outside, they saw a bunch of scary clowns going around with Madrid supervising them. "I've heard of Coulrophobia, but this is ridiculous" Mahi said.

"Coulrophobia sounds like people are scared of colors, but really it's the fear of clowns," Isadora replied. "I once had a friend in Guatemala who's scared of clowns and on their fifth birthday at Monkey Castle, the monkey-themed amusement park where they had Platano the Clown, who's famous for its banana falls and banana-themed jokes and throwing pies in their faces. He threw my birthday friend a pie and it's been traumatized since then."

"Okay, payasos," Madrid said. "Give them the performance of a lifetime."

The clowns started attacking the heroes, and that's when Rayne got an idea. "Isa." she asked, "did you say that the clowns toss pies?"

"Well, si," Isadora replied. "There are all sorts of pies like cherry, blueberry, raspberry, pumpkin. My favorite flavors are peach, blueberry, strawberry, chocolate cream and banana cream. I'd even made a banana cream pie for my Tia Delfina last year for Mother's Day. Usually it's for a mother, but Tia Delfina is considered a mother figure, too."

"Well then," Rayne replied, "let's do the pie trick."

One by one, the girls tricked the Jeivan clowns into tossing pies at them, when really they tossed pies at another clown. Then they did them again, until the last pie hit the last clown. "Talk about a major pie fight," Peggy said.

"Maldito," Madrid growled, "the king is not going to be happy about his birthday being ruined."

He left for the portal while the slippery clowns pushed him by accident, causing PRIMA to laugh. "We better get back to the party," Peggy suggested. "They're doing the costume contest soon."

Later at the Halloween party, they saw that Mae won the contest for Most Realistic Costume. Addison was proud of her little sister for winning the contest. "You know, girls," Addison said, "having a little sister isn't that so bad."

That's when Peggy wondered if Esme made any friends since they moved to Hartford.

After the party, Peggy found Esme dressed as a Bo Peep with a bunch of other first-graders whom she went trick or treating with. One was a boy as a mummy, one was a boy as an astronaut, and one was a girl as a ladybug. They were Esme's new friends - Skyler, Joey, and Fizz. Esme rushed up to Peggy and starting introducing her to her new friends.

The End.
