The next day, everyone was preparing for Rayne's birthday party. Alexa, Peggy, and Isadora planned to distract her with a rainy shell hunt. Will said it was okay, as long as they didn't get seriously hurt. Brynn and Jayla were learning a cheese recipe from the "Party Snacks for Morons" book, because Brynn was a slow reader. "This is like having pizza," Jayla replied. "So why are we making these snacks again?"

"Because Ms. Vandom wanted us to do an activity before the party," Brynn answered. "She said that it was better than staring at your phone all day."

Addison came down, checking to see how the preperations are going. "Hey, Addison," Jayla replied. "How come your sister isn't joining us for our trip?"

"Because she's attending a cheerleading movie with my grandparents," Addison explained. "I'm Loud and I'm Proud 5. Her friend Nicki says that they won't live it until they see all the movies."

"I remember the first one that came out in 2008," Brynn replied. "Uncle Bryan has told me all about those movies ever since I moved in with him."

"Guys," Kayleigh cautioned, "Rayne is, like, coming. Put them in the oven fast."

"Got it," agreed Brynn and Jayla as they placed the cheese snacks in the oven, put the timer on for 35 minutes and stopped.

"I just hope Will and Alexa come back from the store with the cake, snickerdoodles, marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate, cheese curls, chicken wings, cheese platter and punch soon," Brynn said to Jayla.

"It's a drizzle out there," Jayla replied, "and she sometimes says something about seing small figures in the rain."

Deep down, Addison knew that Will was looking for rain fairies. Rayne, Peggy, Isadora, and Alexa came in with a cup of coffee in her head. "I had a crazy night last night," whispered Rayne, "saving a mermaid from those dumb mercanaries of King Jeiva. By the way, have you seen Mahi?"

"Not since breakfast," whispered Addison. "She'd even took some nut mix in case she got hungry."

Meanwhile, Mahi was going around the beach looking for Bipon. She couldn't get the thought of him out of her head. She heard gay tourists complaining about a bunch of rude cyclists with cat patterns heading towards Suntrie Grotto, an attraction at Cape Cod where visitors could get a good view of the sunset. They both knew that that visitors usually went there during the day time, but due to the unlikely event, tourists were going to be angry that Suntrie Grotto was being hogged up. Mahi knew this had Bipon written all over it.

By the time she got there, Mahi found Bipon and his cohorts gathering around at a bondfire on the beach. Mahi hid by a rock so Bipon and his crew wouldn't catch her. "Is the ceremony of the Fear Moon ready?" Kroor asked.

"Don't worry," Bipon replied. "The boss will make sure we'll have enough fear by tonight."

Bipon removes his mask, revealing to be a familiar face to Mahi: Vinod. Mahi was parylyzed by this. *This is horrible*, Mahi sadly thought to herself. *My own brother, working for King Jeiva. Why would he do such a thing?*

The other members turned out to be the rest of the Ferociars. Dhraya had a shaved hairdo, black eyes, and was muscular, Kareena had long black hair with orange highlights and was really tall, Jyoti had her hair in a ponytail, purple eyes, and was shorter than the others, and Ragoba had neck-length black hair, a goatee, brown eyes, and was obese.

Mahi panicked so hard, that she made the bonfire bigger. This made Vinod and the other Ferociars turn their heads, seeing their former gang member. "Mahi," Vinod replied. "What are you doing here, you traitor?"

"Running away from you," Mahi growled. "You resisted arrest just so you could join the Jeivan Empire."

"Clever little brat," Vinod replied. "But you forgot the code."

"Fericious as you can see," Mahi recalled, "Dangerous as tigers and wild as wildcats."

She ran off in horror, because she was betrayed by an older sibling.

Vinod remembered that the night they were caught by the police. King Jeiva came in and helped them escaped. He was observing them commiting vandalism and how Vinod was betrayed by his own sister, because he knew how he felt about a younger sibling overshadowing someone. Agreeing to commit more crimes, the Ferociars decided to work for King Jeiva and spread his power of fear throughout Earth.

Jyoti looked at her watch and said, "Vinod, the fear moon is in 6 hours. Should we do it now?"

"No," Vinod replied. "Let's wait til sunset, then we can summon the Jeivan Dragon."

Later, Mahi ran back to the beach house in horror. She was all soaking wet from the rain. Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, and Addison rushed up to her and comforted her. Addison gave her some soup in case she got a cold. "Where were you?" asked Rayne. "We were all so worried sick."

"The others are in the basement doing a little cleaning," Isadora replied, "but Rayne can't go in there until tonight because they don't want her to mess up. Besides, you're acting like my Tia Delfina after she couldn't find missing bills. This almost happened to her once, and we were almost kicked out of our apartment."

"I'm fine," answered Mahi. "It's just Bipon is my brother."

"WHAT?!" Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, and Addison exclaimed in shock.

"Your older brother has been working for King Jeiva this whole time?" asked Peggy.

"He has," Mahi replied as she got back up. "And I'm going to face him."

"Why?" Addison asked.

"No matter what," Mahi said, "you're all my family. During my times with you guys, I realized that the Covingtons cared more about me than my real parents ever did. All they ever do is ignore me for their jobs and refuse to accept that I was lesbian. You have no idea what it's like having homophobic parents."

"This sounds like my grandmother having a homophobic ex-husband," Peggy replied.

"You know something?" Peggy replied. "Diondra might still be by the waters where we found her."

XxoxX

Later, they went back to the same area as they met Diondra. They saw she was still there playing shell toss with the seagulls. "Guys," Diondra replied, "I knew you would come back."

"We never asked," Rayne replied, "why were you running away?"

Diondra sighed and said, "I'm actually the princess of the underwater kingdom of Azharia. My parents are retiring as king and queen and are making me the queen. I don't know if I can do it. The servants told me that being a queen has a lot of responsibilities."

"I think you'll do just fine," Peggy replied. "When my mom gave birth to my sister Esme, I was worried about being replaced. Then I saw Esme crying when her blankey got ripped. At the time, I was learning how to sew from the Fairytale Fancy Clothes Sewing Book, and I had to repair the blankey for her. Then I realized, responsibility isn't that bad."

Diondra smiled. "Thanks to you," she said, "I'm ready to become queen of Azharia."

"Not before a little mermaid mayhem!" shouted Vinod. "King Jeiva told us to kidnap Princess Diondra so he can give the underwater kingdom fear."

"You'll never take Princess Diondra," Peggy replied.

"Oh, really?" Vinod said as he looked at the daylight moon. "Rise, Jeivan Dragon! Kidnap the princess and pulverize PRIMA!"

A ferocious dragon came up from the ground. It was grey, had red eyes, and black razor-sharp teeth. PRIMA knew that it had to be stopped.

GUARDIANS UNITE

With a quick change, they were ready to face the Jeivan Dragon.

Wuitet, Dhraya, and Jyoti tried to grab Diondra, but she fought off with some diamonds coming out of her hands. "In my book," she said, "there's no such thing as a damsel in distress."

PRIMA was delighted by how Princess Diondra defended herself. With another summon of diamonds from her hands, she gave the Jeivan Dragon some diamond cuts. That's when a ball of lightning came out of nowhere. It was Alexa. She was planning to keep our heroes distracted from the party preperations when she saw them fighting off a dragon. "Good timing, Alexa!" shouted Peggy.

"I needed to help my friends and the mermaids," Alexa replied as she summoned another electric ball towards the Jeivan Dragon, turning it into dust.

"Drat," Jyoti sneered. "The boss is not going to be happy when he finds out."

"Then let's get out of here," Vinod replied. "We don't want any more runt troubles."

Vinod and the Ferociars took off like ninjas. PRIMA changed back into their regular selves. "Vinod always called me a runt," Mahi replied, "because I was the youngest and they never let me get involved with their crimes."

"I see what you mean," replied Peggy.

Just then, a bunch of horns came out of nowhere. A group of mermaid guards came to find Princess Diondra. "Your Highness," said the female captain of the guard, "the kingdom has been looking for you."

"I know," replied Diondra, "and I'm ready to become queen. Mother and Father would get worried sick about me." Before she could go back to her kingdom, she looked at her new friends and waved goodbye.

Rayne, Isadora, Addison, and Alexa decided to go inside for a special activity inside. "You lasses go on ahead," Peggy replied. "Mahi and I need a talk alone."

Isadora knew what Peggy and Mahi were going to do.

Alone, Peggy walked up to Mahi. "I have a question," Peggy began. "At the Purrito challenge and our ballet recitals where we kissed, were they real?"

"They were," Mahi replied. "It's hard to say-"

Mahi took Peggy's hands and looks at her passionately. "I love you, Peggy," she replied. "I've been loving you ever since our first ballet recital together."

"Mahi," Peggy smiled, "I love you, too." Slowly, she leaned in and kissed her.

The Bearakeets were watching them from a distance and giggled, knowing that their finally together.

Back at the beach house, Rayne, Isadora and Addison were arriving the beach house, "Happy birthday, Rayne!" shouted everyone.

"A suprise birthday party!" Rayne shouted. "And at Cape Cod! This spring break trip just got better. This is considered a good birthday for me."

During the party, they broke a piñata, did karaoke, and played "Candy Land."

XxoxX

Later while Rayne was opening her present from Isadora, Mahi and Peggy came in holding hands. "YAYYYY!" Isadora said. "I knew the day would come when Mahi and Peggy would start dating. Addy, Rayne, Alexa, and Will knew you two would get together, too."

Peggy and Mahi saw that Isadora gave Rayne "Romeo and Juliet" in French. "The language of love," Peggy replied. "How thoughtful."

"Thanks," Rayne replied. "And I also like your jigsaw puzzle of a frog, Mahi's Himesh Hall t-shirt, and Addy's handknit mittens for winter."

"That's good," Mahi replied, "because you could lose gloves easily like losing socks."

Rayne smiled and went back to her present.

Peggy saw Rochelle just stairing at her phone. "So, ugly," Peggy replied, "you didn't give Rayne anything."

"No, I-" Rochelle answered as she started glaring at Peggy. "What did you call me?"

"Ugly," Peggy replied, "because you had glasses and braces when you were young."

"Okay," Rochelle said. "I was nerdy and I was fed up of people calling me ugly. So I went to that expensive spa to make others jealous."

"Jealousy can ruin someone," Mahi said. "Believe me, I know,"

As Rochelle was about to take the birthday cake and toss it at Mahi and Peggy, Alexa poured punch on her. "My $50 blouse!" shouted Rochelle as she rushed upstairs.

Everyone applauded to Alexa for standing up to Rochelle. "I didn't want her to ruin the cake," Alexa said.

After Rayne blew out the candles, Will decided to do a group shot. "Everyone," she shouted, "say ballet!"

"Ballet!" shouted everyone as Will took the photo.

The End.
