Mahi was playing basketball with a bunch of the boys from her gym class. "Hey, Mahi," teased a boy, "you drizzle like a real girl."
"I'm a tomboy," Mahi replied, "which is a masculine girl." After a game, she saw Rayne, glaring at her in rage.
"You stood me up when we were suppose to help come up with a flavor of the month for Feburary," Rayne said, "I waited for you by your locker for 30 minutes."
"What?" Mahi said. "It's not my fault that I dared the boths on a 5 on 1 match after school for calling me a runt. It reminds me of how I was picked on by my fellow Ferociars back then."
"Maybe it would've been better if you just go back to your Ferociars crew," snarled Rayne.
"Those buffoons?" Mahi growled. "I'm never again going back to them, and I cannot talk to your family. Elsie is bossing me around, Eliseo and Elias are always bugging me, and Cassie keeps getting my last name wrong."
"Elsie is being a good role model to you, Eliseo and Elias always prank everyone, and Cassie is just a toddler," stated Rayne matter-of-factly.
"I don't need her help," Mahi snapped as she growled and took off.

Later that night, Mr. and Mrs. Covington was wondering where Mahi was. Elsie told her parents that she was going to Velossi's for dinner and wouldn't be joining them. This was a suprise to the others, because they knew that dinner was a time for family. "Easy, everyone," Elsie said. "Give Mahi and Rayne time to wake up."

Much later, Rayne and Mahi were fast asleep, but were still angry at each other. That's when Rayne heard a thump in the kitchen. "The twins better not be sneaking for potato chips again," she whispered as she walked into the kitchen. In the kitchen, she saw Principal McLean is his pajamas raiding the cookie car. "Principal McLean," she said, "shouldn't you be at home?"
"I love you, my señorita," he said in his sleep. "Your eyes glow like el sol." After he left, Rayne quickly placed the jar and cleaned the mess so her parents wouldn't suspect a thing. She thought to herself that Principal McLean might get to the others' homes and steal their cookies. Little did she know was that she acidentally telepathically sent the message to Peggy, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison. They woke up with the feeling that Principal McLean might get into their cookies. So quickly, they hid their cookies in their pantries so he won't get them.
Outside her window, Peggy could see Principal McLean sleepwalking while speaking Spanish. She decided to follow them.

At the corner of Gnone Ave and Allesandro Ln, she bumped into Isadora. She along with Addison and Rayne thought up the same thing about observing Principal McLean's sleepwalking. "What about Mahi?" asked Peggy.
Rayne growled. "I'm guessing you're still mad at her for standing you up," Addison said.
"That's right," replied Rayne.
"Girls," Isadora said quietly, "I don't want to interrupt. Like, in school classrooms when other kids talk real loudly, but Principal McLean is heading towards the Vilks residence."
She pointed to an elaborate house filled with numerous Latvian outdoor decorations. "The Vilks residence has a high security system," Rochelle said. "Mr. Vilks is very serious about trespassers."
"But we can't let Principal McLean be barbecued," Peggy said as she waved her handing, causing the security system to shut down.
All four girls didn't know what happened. Peggy had a feeling that she could control technology. They quickly rushed to look after Principal McLean.
Little did they know was that Asinorth and Zemunth were observing the girls. "Girls can't put on light show," Zemunth said.
"It's not a light show, dummy," Asinorth replied. "That's a high security system. This does make me think of the Jeivan gnomes." From her flute, she summoned Jeivan gnomes and tell them to attack.

Back at the Covington residence, Mahi was still sleeping. In her dreamworld, she saw a skateboarding competition going on. As she was doing a 360, she saw Vinod and his friends, who pelted her with dirty socks, which caused her to fall. "You are not loved, you runt," said dream Vinod. "No one in this world cares about you."
Mahi felt sad at first, but then she saw dream Peggy, dream Mr. and Mrs. Covington, dream Elsie, Eliseo, Elias, and Cassie, and dream Addison, Isadora, and Rayne. Then she got back up. "You're wrong, Vinod," she said. "I *am* loved. I won't be able to feel it every now and then, but it's always there." She punched dream Vinod and woke up from her sleep. "I have to help Rayne," she whispered to herself.

Back at the Vilks residence, Principal McLean was going through a $400 cookie jar while eating some cottage cheese cookies. "Mommy, can't I have just one cookie?" he asked in his sleep.
Peggy had a feeling that he might not've had any sweets when he was a kid, by the way he was acting like a child. She started to feel sorry for him. "Don't leave my corazon behind," he said in his sleep. "Mi amor for you is aqui."
"Those lines," Isadora recalled quietly. "He must've been watching 'Heartbreak Island'. My Tia watches that show all the time. When she and my dad were kids, he got annoyed by her watching the movie so many times. He usually goes out and practices his futbol. When I say futbol, I mean soccer, not the American football. That is called Rugby in some countries."
"'Heartbreak Island'?" asked Peggy. "What's that?"
"It was a telenova film back in the 1990s" Rayne said.
"Apparently," Addison whispered. "Watching telenovas makes him sleepwalk."
Their rings started to glow, meaning that there was trouble outside. "Watch me catch the fireflies," Principal McLean said.
Outisde the Vilks front yard, numerous Jeivan gnomes started wrecking the place. The girls danced their way through to avoid trouble. After a while, they were surrounded by millions of gnomes. That's when a ball of fire came out of nowhere. It was Mahi. "Good timing," Rayne said. "But what made you come back for us?"
"We're sisters," Mahi replied, "and I always knew that your family was better than mine."
"Finally," Addison smiled, "you two made up. Now let's do a little pest control."
Guardians Unite
With all of their might, PRIMA took down some of the gnomes. Peggy then decided to use the security system to stop the gnomes. With her new technopath powers, she actiavted the system while she and the others teleported into the home.
Garden gnomes shot balls at them. The fountain darted them with sleeping darts, and the statue of Rochelle shot out nets, trapping the gnomes. "Yay!" shouted Zemunth. "Encore! Encore!"
"I regret to inform you that the encore is cancelled due to a little PRIMA trouble," growled Asinorth.
"Phooey," Zemunth said.
"In the meantime," continued Asinorth, "their understudy, the beautiful Asinorth, will be performing 'Ode to Jeiva' on her flute."
"Flute time!" shouted Zemunth.
Like in 'The Pied Piper', Asinorth played her flute while Zemunth bounces up and down.
Inside, PRIMA felt his vibrations. "Man," Mahi said. "Sounds like someones gotta lay of the Jeivan cookies."
"Hey!" shouted Rochelle. "I'm trying to sleep!"
"It's Rochelle," whispered Addison. "She can't see us here."
Quickly, they teleported out of the Vilks residence.
Rochelle came down with her hair curled and wearing a mud mask, saying, "I could've sworn I heard someone." Outside, she saw the Jeivan gnomes, thinking that they were burglars. "I'm calling the cops," she said, "because you dwarf burgulars tresspassed for the last time."

Back at the McLean residence, the girls quickly placed him in his room. Around the place, Peggy saw that his home was covered in Latvian furniture, mounted animals, and hunting trophies. "Principal McLean must really love hunting," she said.
"Yeah, well," Addison replied, "he loves stuff made from real animals instead of fake, which is disturbing to the environment."
After they tucked him in bed, Peggy just thought up something.
She rushed downstairs into the kitchen and started preparing some cookies. Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison were wondering, why would she make cookies at 2 in the morning, "I heard him talk in his sleep" whispered Peggy, "And I had a feeling that his mother didn't let him have any candy at all."
"That makes sense" Rayne replied quietly, "By the looks of the decor, there isn't a picture of him celebrating Halloween nor leaving out cookies for Santa."
"Exactly," Peggy whispered, "So I figured that he should have some breakfast biscuits."
"Good idea" Addison replied quietly, "Let me help you get the eggs, and the sugar."
"I call dibs on flour" Isadora replied quietly, "Not the floral flower that you find in your garden, the flour that you use for baking, which is usually made from wheat."
"And let me get the milk" replied Mahi quietly.

After a while, they finished making the Irish biscuits and left a note for him, "We better leave before the cops show up," Peggy said, "And we did promise Miss. Vandom we would join her for frog-shaped pancakes."
"Yum" Isadora said, "I love my pancakes with honey, maple syrup, jam, and blueberries. There's this one time where our middle school had a pancake breakfast for the music wing. They needed to get money for new instruments."
As they left, Mahi just thoguth of something, "I think I finally came up with a new flavor for the ice cream shop, "Heartbreak Island Sundae" she suggested.
"That's right" Rayne whispered, "The lead role for the series, "Ines Gálvez" loved ice cream and her favorite flavors were watermelon and pineapple. That flavor is perfect."
After they took off, Principal McLean started to wake up, "I could've sworn I dreamt that a bunch of the students were dressed as witches and were observing me."
Suddenly, he smelled the Irish biscuits from downstairs. They stood there with a side of coffee and a note. He picked up the note and read it.
Dear Principal McLean
We know about your little sleepwalking troubles and we decided to watch you.
I also saw that you've been eating the cookies from my cookie jar.
So we put together a bunch of O'Donovan biscuits just for you for breakfast
Sincerely, Peggy O'Donovan, Rayne Covington, Isadora Atenas, Mahi Chakavarti, and Addison Bach.
Principal McLean saw the cookies and smiled, because Peggy made him feel like a kid again.
The End.
