Saturday morning came, Peggy fixed up her makeup and accessories and walks out of her home.
Rayne and Mahi both grabbed their backpacks, looked at each other, and nodded.
Isadora dusted the books in her family's living room, grabs her purse and takes off.
Addison finished up "Requiem" by Mozart. She then looked at Mae, who nodded her head, then she put on her sweater, grabbed her purse, and tooled off.

Later, all five girls met at Himesh Hall where they saw a familiar figure playing with the Bearakeets. "Oana," asked Peggy, "what are you doing here?"
"I just got a message from Will," Oana replied. "She wants you guys to bring a few resisting peasants to the outskirts."
Oana gave them a paper of the entire kingdom, but with a blue line that leads from the marketplace to the shack. "It's some kind of map," said Peggy.
"This is not just any map," Oana replied. "This is a map that leads the resisting peasants to the outskirts."
"How will we know what to do?" Mahi asked.
"Wait," Addison replied. "Rayne is the Guardian of Water, so maybe she could track them by water."
"Good idea," Rayne replied.
"My girlfriend will meet us by the river," Oana replied. "That's the river that leads into town."
"Wait," asked Addison. "You're a lesbian?"
"Of course," answered Oana. "My brother and father are going to be busy scavaging for food, so I will cover for them. We'll meet my Cascade Chick by the river."

In the Jeivan Empire, they saw a mysterious red-haired girl singing by the river. "Hey, Cascade Chick," called Oana, "I brought PRIMA with me."
She turned her head, revealing to be Cassidy, a previous Guardian. "You must be Cassidy," Peggy replied, "the water wielder of CHYKN."
"Chicken?" asked Rayne as she and Mahi did chicken noises, much to Addison's irritation.
"That's me," Cassidy replied. "Oana told me that we will be leading the rebellious peasants to safety."
"Just like Harriet Tubman in the Underground Railroad," Isadora recalled, "because she did all this herself at first, then she made tons of journeys back and forth to Pennslvania for safety. I learned that in the 5th grade for our history homework, and I remember getting a B on my project because I forgot to answer the towns that she entered in."
"Isadora sure is a chatterbox," Cassidy replied.
"Don't worry," Mahi replied. "She always talks a lot."
"You should see her for the time where Madrid kidnapped her to be his girlfriend," Addison said.

Much later, they found a river at the end of a bush, which was near a cave. Rayne remembered seeing "Princess Mononoke" that she could walk on water, so she decided to do the same. Everyone was amazed that she could do that. They decided that they could do it faster by going Guardian.
Guardians Unite
With a quick change and a grab of Cassidy, they decided to follow to the end of the cave. Peggy did a little light manipulation so they can see where they were going. At the end of the cave, the saw the symbol of the Wings of Courage with a ladder leading to the top. They opened the sewer lid that had an L on it. Out of the tunnel cave, they saw that they were at the market.
Now all they had to do was to find the rebelling peasants. "Don't worry," Cassidy replied. "We know the perfect place where King Jeiva would never go to."

Afterwards, they were arriving infront of a toy shop that said "Monster Doll Toy Store."
"A toy store?" Rayne asked. "You got to be kidding."
"My mom told me that King Jeiva hated playing with toys," whispered Oana, "because he thinks they distracts Jeivans from their hard labor."
"A temptation," Peggy replied. "I was like that as a little girl. I used to be distracted with Kenzie dolls and Happy Lambs."
Inside the store, they saw Lamia giving a child a toy Jeivan frog. "Mom," whispered Oana, "the calvery has arrived."
"Good timing, Oana," Lamia replied. "With your father and brother with their food scavenging, we sought help from the Guardians of the Kandrakar Veil."
"As Cassie would say," Rayne replied, "all in a day's work."
"Now we should go before King Jeiva catches you guys," Peggy suggested as they took a kid one by one.

While they were taking the kids to the secret door that led to the outside of town, the Bearakeets wandered off. They found a Jeivan corn merchant selling Jeivan corn. This reminded Mr. Mustard of Earth corn, and he couldn't resist the temptation. So with a quick fly, he ate the corn. The other Bearakeets began to worry that King Jeiva would catch them.
Suddenly, a group of heralds tooted their horns. "Presenting King Jeiva!" shouted a herald as Madrid drove his royal carriage. Zemunth bounced up and down with dead flower petals around, causing the bowl of Jeivan corn to fall, along with Mr. Mustard.
The other Bearakeets hid in it too, to avoid capture.
"It's my favorite time of the year," Jeiva said. "Tax time. Now all of you must pay up or be executed."
The Bearakeets looked in horror as they spotted the king. So they decided to warn PRIMA, Cassidy, Oana, and Lamia immediately.

Back at the secret sewer door, the Bearakeets flew around with fear. "Take it easy," Oana said. "We just sent the last orphan to the sewer. Now we need to guide them to safety."
"I think that will have to wait," Addison said as she saw King Jeiva's carriage strolling through town with Zemunth jumping and tossed dead flower petals.
"I was afraid this would happen," Lamia replied. "It's tax day. King Jeiva goes to each home in the kingdom to collect taxes."
"This could be a problem," Peggy said.
In his carriage, King Jeiva quickly recognized his own niece. He stepped out of his carriage in shock. "Look at you, Lamia," he said. "The same banished princess I remembered."
"Don't bring that up, Uncle Jeiva," replied Lamia. "I never got over how you killed my family."
"Oh, yes," growled Jeiva. "Mr. Mommy's-Dearest Jeivmal. They have always favored him. He always had a thing called 'a heart."
"My grandparents knew that my daddy would be able to control fear in a toner way," Lamia said, "unlike you who feeds off fear from other dimensions."
"Wait," pleaded Peggy. "You can't suffer the same fate as your parents. You should join Oana, Cassidy, and the peasants."
"You're right," Lamia replied. "I'll deal with Uncle Jeiva later."
PRIMA decided to use their powers against King Jeiva. Together all 5 unleashed a tidal wave of power, knocking him unconscious. "Bedtime for Jeiva," said Zemunth.
Asinorth decided to comfort the king with her songs. Zemunth and Asinorth were so busy playing their songs, PRIMA decided to meet up with Lamia and the others.
In the tunnel, Rayne remembered that the blue line was how they get out of the city and into the outskirts. So she decided to do that again with a little help from Peggy.
When they got out of the tunnel, they saw Lamia, Oana, and Cassidy comforting the runaway peasants. "Good work, girls," Rayne said. "You got the peasants away from the city."
"No problem," Lamia replied.
"We better book," replied Mahi. "It's the night of the ballet recital, and I have to make up for a selfish wish I made."
Lamia, Oana, and Cassidy were confused. Oana informed, "Mahi acidentally wished that something bad would happen to our friend Kieran."

Later, they were at Hartfeld where Mrs. Dean was unveiling the new mural. The mural had a scene from "The Nutcracker," "Swan Lake," "Giselle," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Pharaoh's Daughter," "Don Quixote," and "The Frog Prince." She was filling in for Principal McLean, because he hated "The Frog Prince."
As the girls were walking around the new murals, Peggy saw the heart that said "P + M." On the heart, Peggy could see that the P was pink and the M was red. That's when she knew that Mahi had a crush on her. "Hey, Peg," called Daph from a distance. "Are you going to get ready for your 'Frog Prince' show?"
"I am," Peggy replied. "It's just...the day where I got that cold from the rain, I had a feeling that Mahi might have a crush on me."
"She does love you," Daph replied. "I've seen her look at you like she cares a lot. You should tell her how you feel."
"Really?" asked Peggy.
"Really," answered Daph.
As Peggy left, Chloe came up to him and said, "I want you to meet my mom."
Mrs. Dean was greeting some of the guests when Chloe brought Daph with her. "Chloe," replied Mrs. Dean, "you made it."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Mother," Chloe replied. "Plus Catherine needs a report for the newspaper."
"And I see you brought your new boyfriend Daph with you," Mrs. Dean replied. "It's nice to finally meet a real Irishman."
"Cousin Peggy is the leading role in the production of 'The Frog Prince'," explained Daph.
Backstage, Will was taking attendence when Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison showed up. "You made it!" shouted Chandra.
"The show must go on," Peggy replied.
Everyone was amazed by this, except for Rochelle. She was hoping to become the new princess if Peggy didn't show.
When the show started, everyone was fully in costume. Peggy and Mahi danced from the scene with the golden ball, to the part where they kissed, turning frog Mahi into a prince. Rayne and Mae placed the crown on him while Isadora and Addison placed the cape on him.
During the curtain call, Mae asked, "How did I do?"
"You did great," Addison replied. "I knew you can do it."
"You know what?" replied Mae. "I'm gonna switch from cheerleading to ballet, just to let us bond and keep your PRIMA secret safe."
"What about Nicki and Belle?" asked Addison. "I'll still go to their cheer events."
"Don't worry," Mae answered her big sister. "I'll go to their events. I can't neglect my good friends."
Addison was happy for her sister, knowing that she'd balance between ballet and friends next year.
The End
