At Vandom's Animal Kingdom, Will was delivering some new hamster toys when she got a reminder on her phone, saying that her mother is coming over for the weekend. This was also the same weekend as Parents Night at Hartfeld High. She started cleaning up the place, "Hey mom" said Alexa as she brought the dogs home from their daily walk, "What's with all the cleaning."
"Your grandma is coming over," Will answered, "and I didn't have time to clean the pet shop."
"Grandma Susan is coming?" asked Alexa. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I was so caught up at Hartfeld High's parents day and the new shipment of hamster toys, that I forgot to tell you," Will explained.
By the door was an elderly Italian woman. It was Will's mother, Susan Vandom.
"Mom," Will said, "you're here early."
"Hey, Grandma!" shouted Alexa. "How was the flight from Seattle."
"Long," Susan said. "It was delayed for a little bit due to the Bad Dream Divas flying in for a heavy metal convention."
"Yeah," Will said. "This is not like other bands back in Heatherfield."
Alexa was curious. "Wasn't Dad part of a band?" she asked.
"He was," Will answered. "But I had to leave him, because I couldn't let a child distract his duties."
"I see," Alexa replied. "Should we get going to Hartfeld High for Parents Day? We don't want to keep them waiting."
"You're right," Will said.

Later, the Vandoms arrived at Hartfeld High where all the kids and their parents were gathering around. There were Arielle's father and stepmother, Jayla's white mother and Indian father, Kieran's Native American/African mother, Alim's mother and father, Abram's gay adoptive dads, Brynn and her uncle, Chandra and her young mom, Sasha's rich mother and father, Lara's divorced mother, Xiang's older cousin, Kayleigh's widowed mother, Dagger and Merula's perky parents, and PRIMA's parents were there, too.
Will decided to go up to the O'Donovans first, who were giving out free biscuits. Susan had been dying to try one of Brody's biscuits. PRIMA was suprised that they finally got to meet Will's mother from Heatherfield, Washington. Susan took one of Brody's biscuits and ate them. "These are perfect for a cold winter day," she commented.
"Like that time Dagger and I entered an ice skating competition and i designed the clothes," Isadora said. "Of course, a college couple won first place and their prize was $500 dollars. The runner ups got complimentary Hartfeld shirts. Of course we donated those shirts to the homeless shelter. You can't have too much clutter in your dressers. There is nothing funny about overstocking."

In the Jeivan Empire, King Jeiva was dusting the paintings of the previous king and queen of empire, his parents. Bipon and his crew came in. "You wanted to find your family?" Jeiva asked.
"That's right," Bipon answered, "So I can give them payback for abandoning me and my sister a long time ago."
"Patience, Bipon," King Jeiva said. "We'll take care of this. You heard of the phrase 'mama bear'?"
"Are you going to summon your Jeivan bears?" Bipon asked.
"You guessed it," King Jeiva answered as he summoned the bears.

Back in the human world, a Latvian couple wearing expensive, imported Latvian clothes came in, much to the other students' horror. Rayne was serving ice cream sandwiches when she saw them. She ducked down, crawled to Peggy, and pushed her down. "Why on earth did you pull me down, Rayne?" Peggy asked angrily.
"You don't know who those two are?" asked Rayne as she pointed to the Latvian couple. "Those are Ilizane and Raimonds Vilks, Rochelle's parents and the owners of Vilks Furniture Store. I tell you, they're as worse as Rochelle."
Mr. Vilks found Mrs. O'Donovan serving some Irish biscuits and walks up to her. "Are you the mother of one of those girls from Rochelle's ballet club, who is the leading lady?" he asked in a Latvian accent.
"That's me. Why?" Mrs. O'Donovan asked back.
"Before your Margaret came along," Mr. Vilks explained, "our Rochelle was the leading lady of the ballet club. She was the leading lady last year's production of 'The Magic Flute' and 'The Rite of Spring', even as a freshman."
"And it's all because you had to bribe Mrs. Colon $100,000 dollars," Mrs. Vilks said in a Latvian accent. "I love a man who deceives."
Mrs. O'Donovan was furious by this. "If there's one thing I learned from my ballet lessons as a child," she said, "it's that you can't always get the role you want. Because of you being completely greedy like your daughter, I'm banning you and your wife permanently from my shop."
"What about Rochelle?" Mrs. Vilks asked.
"I already banned her for life after she made Esme cry for no reason last month," Mrs. O'Donovan answered.
"Rocchelly took my Sugaw Pwum happw wamb and wipped it apawt," Esme explained.
Brody comforted his youngest daughter.
"But it's amazing what sewing needles and thread can do," Mrs. O'Donovan replied as she patted Esme's head.
"Looks like wealth and snobbiness runs in the family," Peggy whispered.
Then Peggy started to sense danger outside. She feared that Jeivan monsters were attacking the school again. And boy, were they lucky; Principal McLean was going to read his papers on his hatred for parents day.
Guardians Unite
Outside, Madrid was wrecking the school with Jeivan bears. From the skies, PRIMA attacked.
Peggy shot out lightning bolts, Rayne shot out water cannons, Isadora made supersonic breaths, Mahi blew fire from her hands, and Addison shot out vines. There were a lot.
Then the Bearakeets were roaming out of sight. Mr. Mustard was carrying packs of honey from Havana Java. "Have you been stealing from Havana Java again?" Addison asked.
Mr. Mustard nodded his head, then he squirted honey all over the ground, causing the Jeivan bears to eat them. Unfortunately, they spat it out in disgust. "Usually bears love honey," Rayne said, "but these kind can't stand the flavor."
The bears ran off in terror from the sweet-tasting honey. Madrid started chasing them, hoping that King Jeiva wouldn't make him clean the stables again. Seeing the honey leftover from their ambush, the Bearakeets decided to eat them all up.
"Peggy?!" shouted Esme from behind.

Our heroes quickly changed back and the Bearakeets hid in PRIMA's backpacks before Esme even noticed. She came out of the school in excitement. "You wouwld not bewieve what Mommy did," Esme said. "She barned the other Vilks for life for not accapting the fawct that they won't always have the bread rolls."
The rest of PRIMA was confused, but Peggy knew that Esme was trying to say that they wouldn't always have the roles they want. "Yeah," Peggy said to her sister. "Listen, Esme, you should go back inside and meet with Mom and Dad."
Behind them, Mr. and Mrs. O'Mooney came in. "Mr. and Mrs. O'Mooney," Mahi said. "I thought you were working at Havana Java."
"We wanted to," Mr. O'Mooney replied, "but this morning we recieved the best news ever."
"We're going to be grandparents!" Mrs. O'Mooney shouted.
"I didn't know you had kids," Mahi replied.
"We have three," Mrs. O'Mooney said. "One hijo, Elton, and two hijas, Bernadette and Martha."
"Which one of them is having a kid?" asked Addison.
"Martha is," Mrs. O'Mooney explained. "She and her husband were coming home from their trip to Niagra Falls when she realized that she was pregnant."
"That's good news," Isadora said. "Sometimes people don't hae to give birth to be a good parent. I know some gay and lesbian couples adopt a child because of you know what. I met a girl who was adopted by a lesbian couple one time while I was in Australia, and I became good friends with her."
"We should get inside before Esme wanders off," Peggy suggested.
Inside, they saw Esme playing with Alexa. "Looks like Esme found a big sister figure in Alexa," Rayne suggested.
Susan came up to Alexa and said, "I see you're making new friends with that Irish girl."
"I am, Grandma," Alexa replied. "One time Peggy had to babysit her, and Mom had some friends from her Single Mothers Club come over. So I decided to crash at the O'Donovans for the night."
"We played Goodsey Wand," Esme replied, "and watched Captawn Sunny, and made fweindwy bwacwets, and played Goodsey Wand."
"It's natural for kids to repeat things, Grandma" Alexa explained.
Grandma Susan didn't mind.
The End.
