At Himesh Hall, Peggy, Mahi, and Addison were testing out their new Guardian Angel. Will was timing them on their Guardian Angel speed while Rayne and Isadora were both sparring in their dance-fight technique. "I admit it," Isadora said to Rayne. "Being a dance battler is way better than being a regular battler. They say violence and anger make things worse, and believe me, there's this one time that Rochelle beat up a nerd asking if she got fat, and she had to spend an entire weekend in detention."
"I remember that a year ago," recalled Rayne, "Principal McLean forced her to help out with the girl's basketball spaghetti dinner."
"Nice work, girls," Will said. "Now I better get to Vandom's Animal Kingdom. I've got a bunch of Cerberuses that are in need of a check-up."
"You do that, Mom," Alexa said. "I'm gonna practice my lightning bolts."
"Just don't summon any lightning fairies," Will replied. "They always get drawn to Quintessence power."
Little did they know was that Asinorth and Zemunth were making plans to ridicule PRIMA with their new Jeivan cops. "Alrighty now," said Asinorth. "Remember the plan: kidnap someone close to them and make their parents suspect their PRIMA activities. They'll be grounded forever and no more PRIMA."
"Bye-bye, Prima," laughed Zemunth as Asinorth covered his mouth.
"And don't worry about returning home," Asinorth replied. "Lua Doi will create one for us by the alleyway near the old abandoned video rental shop."
"Meggysmashy," Zemunth clapped.
"Megasmash Video Rentals," Asinorth corrected as she started tuning her flute.

Meanwhile at Covington Ice Cream, Rayne and Mahi were both serving some customers some ice cream when Mahi saw a flier about Covington Ice Cream having a social to promote the dance troupe. "Dad does this every year," Rayne explained. "All the proceeds go to the place. In return, they get a free show."
In the kitchen, Mr. Covington was going through the shipment of chocolate fudge when he found one with Rayne's water symbol and two chibi characters that looked like Rayne and Mahi on it. "Kandrakar Fudge?" Mr. Covington asked as he turned to his wife. "Hey, Selma, don't the girls look kind of like Rayne and Mahi?"
Mrs. Covington came up to him and saw the two chibi figures. "You're right, dear," she replied.
With Rayne's mind-reading skills, she knew something was wrong. "Mom and Dad are onto us," whispered Rayne to Mahi. "They saw a fudge company with us on it."
"Let's text the girls fast," Mahi suggested.
"No need," Peggy declared as she, Isadora, and Addison came in. "We had to come here fast. Mom got a shipment of waitress dresses from the fake brand PRIMAY I Take Your Order."
"That isn't the only thing that is weird," Isadora replied. "Tia Delfina has gotten some strange cookbooks that say 'Cooking with Jeiva'. Will Vandom did tell me that they usually cook food in the colors of grey: grey cabbages, grey turnips, grey roast beef."
"And you're never going to believe this," Addison replied. "While I was vacuuming the living room, I heard my grandma reading the script of a new play submission, 'Uniting The Guardians'. It sounded a lot like our battle cry when we become PRIMA."
Outside, they saw some funny-looking policemen arresting some of their friends. "Arresting people for no reason," Rayne growled. "Now that's just wrong."
Rayne summoned a fog so their parents wouldn't suspect that their heroes.
GUARDIANS UNITE
They saw Jeivan cops arresting Kieran, Abram, and Xiang for not crossing a crosswalk. "Dude," shouted Kieran, "we need to return some library books today!"
"Overdue library books is a big violation!" shouted a Jeivan cop.
"So is harassing the town folk!" shouted Addison as she started to sing "Blue Danube Waltz" in siren.
She placed Kieran, Abram, and Xiang into a trance, then they unknowingly picked up their books and headed off to the library.
After they left, the Jeivan cops started attacking. Peggy did her energy blasts, Rayne did some rain manipulation, Isadora used her supersonic breathing, Mahi used her head rays, and Addison did her flower manipulation.
Unfortunately, they were too strong. Then Addison got an idea. With a little pirouette and pile, she handcuffed the Jeivan cops in a chain. Zemunth came out and thought it was a hanky trick. "Funny hankies!" Zemunth shouted as he tossed them around and around.
Alexa came up to Zemunth. "Playing 'Ring Around the Rosie' with Jeivan cops?" asked Alexa. "That sounds like going overboard."
Asinorth got really annoyed that Alexa insulted her cohort. So she decided to play a little lute song of doom. Luckily, Alexa destroyed the lute with her lightning power. "A shocking symphony, isn't it?" Alexa asked.
Asinorth decided to take Zemunth and the Jeivan cops back to the Jeivan Empire. "This is going to take a while to get the cuffs off," Asinorth replied, "since Zemunth accidentally ate the keys."
"Me was hungry," replied Zemunth.
"You're always hungry," growled Asinorth.
They headed off to the alleyway near the abandoned video rental place and the portal closed. "Now that we cuffed the cops," said Peggy, "how are we going to keep our parents from finding out we're PRIMA?"
By the window, Addison could see a cardboard cut-out of "Creamy Cravings," a popular movie from the 1970s. Addison knew because her mother starred in the remake in the 2010s. "I have just the idea," she said, "and all thanks to a little cut-out promotion."

Later that day, Mr. and Mrs. O'Donovan, Tia Delfina, and Grandma and Dr. Bach were arriving at the ice cream social with a lot of ice cream floats in strawberry, cookies and cream, coconut, orange creamsicle, and black cherry. "Look at these ice cream floats," said Grandpa Bach. "And they've even got my favorite - orange creamsicle."
"We did get Peg's texts to come here," Mrs. O'Donovan replied. "I have to pick up Esme soon at Fizz's house."
"You're telling me," Delfina replied. "I left Damien in charge while I check out the emergency a Covington Ice Cream. Isadora better not be annoying the patrons with her chattering again."
"Delfina," replied Dr. Bach, "she always chatters people to annoyance, like the time when I had to handle a patient with appendicitis who kept annoying me. Isadora volunteered at the time when they had a children's fundraiser. She helped give the patient a taste of his own medicine for that with her Spanish renditions of 'Romeo and Juliet'."
"Speaking of stories," Delfina replied, "I decided to keep that shipment of 'Cooking with Jeiva' and sell them online. I had to help pay for Damien's college tuition and keep the customers from freaking out about the recipe."
Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison came in wearing PRIMAY I Take Your Order outfits. "It's a good thing we teleported back to the shop and took the dresses to avoid suspicion," whispered Mahi as she nose-kissed Peggy.
"I don't want Esme tearing them either," Peggy recalled. "Usually she plays with refunded dresses."
"Peggy," asked Mr. O'Donovan, "have you been planning this contest thing?"
"This is what we've been planning," Peggy exaggerated. "An ice cream float eating contest. First prize gets a free Covington t-shirt, courtesy of Rayne Covington."
"Alanna," Mr. O'Donovan said, "maybe you should handle this? You have the weight to pull this off."
"I did win that potato eating contest in college," recalled Mrs. O'Donovan. "I did it to earn money for the children's program." She and two other overweight people started eating the ice cream floats, with extra Kandrakar Fudge.
Mr. and Mrs. Covington came in becoming shocked about the whole ice cream float eating contest. "We haven't done a taste test first," Mr. Covington said, "but it's better to see if the customers like it first."
The two overweight customers started getting sick, "Man" said one of them, "This Kandrakar Fudge really is fulling you up."
"And I don't think I can take another bite" replied the other overweight person.
"We have our winner" shouted Alexa carrying an XL T-shirt, "Alanna O'Donovan."
Everyone cheered for Mrs. O'Donovan. Addison turned to her grandmother in curiosity, "So Grandma" said Addison, "What did you think of Uniting The Guardians?"
"I must tell you one thing," Grandma Bach said, "I've rejected the play. It sounds like their making fun of you and your friends Addison. I never do plays that sound like their making fun of my family."
"Nice work" Addison replied as she hugged her grandmother, "I wouldn't think it would be great either."
The End.
