At Zuzanna's Steps, the girls were bored to death. "It's been three weeks since we stopped the Ferociars," Peggy said. "Now school is almost over and we have nothing to do."

"Yeah," Rayne replied. "We took a tour of a peanut butter factory, we booked a gig at Esme's classmate Aliyah's sixth birthday party, and we volunteered at Vandom's Animal Kingdom too many times."

As Peggy was looking at the bulletin board, she saw a paper that said "Majesty Records Spring Singer Party, debuting Jayla and the Funky Birds."

"I almost forgot," Peggy said. "Majesty Records is having their annual Spring Singer Party. It's where Jayla and the Funky Birds are going to perform."

"That's right," Isadora recalled "We won second place to our friend Jayla and her band. Winning is not important. I mean, people might brag about it, making the other competitors feel bad, but being prideful is a shame."

They looked at the play area where the Bearakeets were playing around with some jacks. "Careful with those jacks," Mahi replied. "One gulp from Mr. Mustard."

"Be nice," Addison replied. "You know how they hate to be bored."

Peggy said, "It's a good thing my parents are video chatting with Uncle Marcel and Esme is attending Skyler's birthday party."

"Isn't Marcel Daph's father?" asked Rayne.

"He is," Peggy replied. "He works as a gardener."

"That explains why you have such a beautiful yard, Lucky Lass," Mahi replied as she came close to her, "and such beautiful eyes."

"Tiger Kitten," Peggy blushed.

Two days later was the Spring Singer Party at Majesty Records. Will and Alexa came along because she was invited by a VIP, though they didn't say who it was. "I bet it's Firefly Jam or Raleigh Carrera," Alexa guessed.

"Sweetie," Will replied, "I know you like Firefly Jam and Raleigh Carrera, but this is Majesty Records. They have different types of rockstars."

"Not like those lame-o Siren Hunks who hypnotized Rayne," Alexa recalled.

"Definately not like them," Will replied.

A handsome muscian with black hair came onstage. "Hello, folks," he announced. "I'm Matt Olsen, and we are Olsen Castle."

As they were doing a rendition of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top," Will quickly recognized her ex from high school. When she first met him when she was picking up pizzas for her birthday party. Matt came out of the party to help her carry the pizzas. He took her hand and the rest was history.

Later, Matt was enjoying the food when he bumped into Peggy. "Sorry, miss," he said. "I didn't see you there. I'm-"

"Matt Olsen," Peggy answered, "lead singer of Olsen Castle. I'm a huge fan of you. That's a nice retention of AC/DC's 'It's a Long Way to the Top'."

"Thanks," Matt replied. "Me and the boys are opening for Jayla and the Funky Birds. They're running a little late because Jayla had a wardrobe crisis."

"I know her," Peggy replied. "Jayla couldn't help but find the right outfit for the occasion."

As Peggy was talking about the band, Matt spotted Will in the crowd. "WILL!" he shouted as Will spotted him.

"Mom," asked Alexa, "what is going on?"

"Nothing, Alexa," answered Will.

Matt quickly rushed up to Will and said, "I can't believe that you're here."

"I know," Will beamed, "I got this weird email saying that we're invited to the Spring Singer Party here at Majesty Records and I assume it was someone I knew from the music industry."

"That's because I gave you the email," Matt confessed. "I found your Vandom's Animal Kingdom website while looking you up and I decided to give it a go, but I couldn't let you know who I was. Luckily I'm good friends with Reginald Worth, so he let me use his email just so I could surprise you."

Will started to cry, and then she hugged Matt. "I miss you," she replied.

Alexa started to feel uncomfortable, because she feared that Matt could become her stepfather and she didn't know her real father. So she left.

Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison knew that letting a child wander off wasn't cool, so they decided to go after her.

Outside Majesty Records, Alexa became surrounded by Jeivan geese.

GUARDIANS UNITE

The five girls transformed and took down the birds. Alexa helped out too with her electricity manipulation. "Double the shocks," Peggy said.

"You can say that again," replied Alexa.

A car with bird patterns was rushing off to get to the party. They knew that it was the vehicle for Jayla and the Funky Birds, the Funky-Bird Wagon. As they were about to hit a bunch of girl scouts, Addison blocked the Funky-Bird Wagon with a tree. The bandmates popped out to see the crazy effects. "Rad," complimented Jayla. "But we're going to be late for our party."

"And all because you had to find the right outfit," replied the drummer.

"Hey," Jayla countered. "Sometimes finding the right outfit for the party is tough."

Will and Alexa returned to see that Jayla and the Funky Birds arrived. The band didn't have time to say hello because they were in a hurry to get to the party.

PRIMA changed back and hugged Will. "So these girls are the new Guardians of the Veil," Matt said.

"We are," Peggy said. "The Heart of Kandrakar broke in five, so Will started to learn jewelry-making and made them into rings."

"Hey," Alexa said as she saw a guitar in the Funky Bird Wagon. "Jayla left her guitar in the car."

"Sounds like you made a rhyme," Matt said.

With her car-jacking skills, Mahi got the guitar out of the car. Alexa couldn't help but play it, so she got it out and played the notes to "It's a Long Way to the Top." "I can't believe I caught on guitar real fast!" she exclaimed.

"That's because Matt Olsen is your father," Will explained as she covered her mouth.

PRIMA, Alexa, and Matt were suprised by this. "I'm a father?" asked Matt.

"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Alexa.

"Please listen," said Will. "When I found I was pregnant with you, I realized that you could fall into the wrong hands if any of my friends from Sheffield found out. So I had to leave them for a new home."

"All this so you can protect me?" Alexa asked. "I still can't believe that the lead singer of Olsen Castle is my real father."

"We better get the guitar to Jayla," Mahi said as the packed Jayla's guitar and took it inside.

Monday at school, the girls couldn't stop thinking about Matt being Alexa's real father. "Girls," Mrs. Dean replied. "I was just going over the suggestion of what math camp students should go to."

"Sorry, Mrs. Dean" said the heroes.

"Would Peggy O'Donovan, Rayne Covington, Isadora Atenas, Mahi Chakavarti, and Addison Bach report to the principal's office?" Principal McLean asked on the intercom.

"Looks like your outnumbered," Rochelle laughed as Sasha and Lara joined in.

By the time they got to the principal's office, they saw that no one was there. Behind the door, Asinorth, Zemunth, and Madrid closed the door. "Hola, senorita," Madrid greeted as he knocked PRIMA out with some Jeivian sleeping powder.

One by one, PRIMA got knocked out. Asinorth took their rings and placed them in a bag while Zemunth bounced up and down. "We got hearties! We got hearties!" he exclaimed.

"Quiet," Asinorth replied. "Someone could hear us?"

"What's going on here?!" shouted Principal McLean as he came into his office. "I heard some buffoon impersonate me on the intercom."

Madrid knew that he had to come up with something fast, so he said, "These senoritas got into a little coma after they came into your office, director de escuela. So we're taking them to the hospital."

"I would do anything to keep those girls from ruining an education, especially O'Donovan and Chakavarti," Principal McLean replied. "So let them go for the rest of the day."

"Gracias," replied Madrid as he, Zemunth, and Asinorth took them outside.

Little did they know was that the Bearakeets saw them in danger and decided to warn Will.
