Liam was getting off the bus with a shoulder bag with five excited bearakeets, "Now, now" Liam whispered to the little pets, "When we get into the candy shop, no popping out, Chandra is deathly afraid of bears, especially grizzlies."
Rita felt disappointed.
They went inside Pumpkin Pop candy shop, which was owned by Chandra's mother. Liam explained to them that Bulsara Street was named after Freddie Mercury in 1992. It was originally called Honeysett Street, but after the death of Indian-Parsi singer, "Freddie Mercury" the mayor at the time decided to dedicate his memory by renaming the street. He learned all of that from Isadora, who loved Queen's music.
An overweight young lady came in with a bag of orange taffy. "Here you go," she said.
"No problem Miss. Mahalanabis." Liam replied.
Inside the bag, The Bearakeets started eating the orange taffy, "Finally" said, Miss. Mahalanbis, "It's been two weeks since someone got my last name right, and I'm not just counting Miss Lara DeForest who just insulted me."
"Lara always shops here doesn't she," asked Liam, "Addison warned me about that."
"Yeah" answered Miss. Mahalanbis, "Her mom, "Lia" is my landlord, so she gets all her candy here for free. How I wish one day that she would pay for once."
"Speaking of which," Liam said as he pointed outside.
Lara was coming in with a cold-hearted middle-aged woman with a magenta suit, it was Lara's mom, "Lia Cookson". "So, Rishabha" said Miss. Cookson, "Where is the new shipment of lime lollipops. My Lara gets fiesty if she doesn't get lime-flavored candy within 48 hours."
"Here, here" replied Miss. Mahalanbis as she gave them a big box of lime lollipops, "Just please let me keep some money, I'm saving it for Chandra's college education."
"Which one?" asked Miss. Cookson.
"A community college on the other side of the state" replied Miss. Mahalanbis, "Of course that's where I met the monster who left me pregnant. I had to drop out and work at my father's candy shop."
"Your father is dead," replied Miss. Cookson, "For five years now, you've been running his little gingerbread house and I've waited two months for you to pay off the mortgage for the shop."
'I'm sorry" Miss. Mahalanbis worriedly replied back, "But no one comes here whenever you or Lara come in and I don't want you to ruin Broadway Bang! Radio Disney is coming to Hartfeld High today to promote the summer dance program."
Liam was coming in with a bag of some chocolate bars when he spotted Jayla and Chandra were in with some exciting news, "Get this" Jayla replied, "Radio Disney is coming to Hartfeld with their little segment, Broadway Bang. Chandra told me yesterday while I was getting some gumdrops."
Rayne was jumping with joy when she spotted Alton talking to some of the nerdy dancers, "Hey Alton" Rayne replied, "Has Radio Disney ever came to Hartfeld High before"
"Once in the 2000s" answered Alton, "They were doing the Disney's Next Big Thing looking for new talent. Unfortunately, my dad had a throat operation that week."
"I remember the time when Arthur McGowens stole money from them for a new suit" Principal McLean recalled, "Luckily the cops caught him and make him do community service for the visiting radio station. I had to kick McGowens boys because Andrew constantly hogged the stage and Lloyd kept all the numbers mixed up. I know we don't like runts who are uncontrollable, but this is publicity."
"I'm afraid we're going to have to relocate for the Radio Disney promotion," Liam said, "Because Pumpkin Pop candy store is in dept and Lara's mom is going to shut it down."
Everyone was paralyzed by what Miss. Cookson is going to do. Rayne and Isadora went to an empty hallway, so they could teleport there.
As they got to Pumpkin Pop, Rayne got an idea, "Care to do a little lip reading" she asked Isadora, "Let's pretend I'm Lara's mom and your Chandra's mom."
"Okay" Isadora replied, "I love to do a little lip-reading. I remember the time when I lip-read my father when he plans to surprise my grandmother with the ballet version of Snow White for their wedding anniversary. I had to keep it quiet, because if you blab out the surprise, everything would be ruined."
"SHHH" Rayne said as she covered Isadora's mouth, "They'll hear us."
Miss. Mahalanbis- I'm telling you, Pumpkin Pop funding the program is a tradition for the Hartfeld High summer dance program.
Miss. Cookson - Well, I don't want any cavity-causing factory ruining my Lara's chances for attention. Pay off the debt or I'm shutting this place down.
Miss. Mahalanbis- But I rarely had any customers.
Miss. Cookson- Do it!
"Nice" Rayne whispered, "I never thought you would make the talking random and long. We should get back immediately"
After they teleported back to the school, they saw that Colby and Alton were arguing over Rayne. "Boys," said Rayne, "We're not going to use me as a trophy. Instead, we'll just do Remember The Time in order to save Pumpkin Pop."
"You know something" Colby replied, "I think my mom knows a guy who works at Radio Disney. I'll contact him in order to do a candy shop rescue."
Rayne smiled because Colby knew what he was doing.
Inside, Addison and Liam were wrapping up rehearsal for Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better). Then it was Rayne, Colby, and Alton's turn to rehearse for their Remember The Time number. Rayne was playing the queen, Colby was playing the wizard, and Alton played the Pharaoh. Rayne requested that they should do the dance part between The Pharoh and The Queen.
After Colby finished contacting his mom's friend, he saw some funny-looking nerds with grey skin bargain in for no apparent reason while dropping science notes. "Littering is lame" Colby growled as we walked to the auditorium.
Inside, Rayne and Alton were wrapping up their dance rehearsal, Colby came in being annoyed by the grey nerds littering. Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, Addison, Liam, and Mahi were aware of what he meant, "Principal McLean" shouted Mae, "Can I and my girls go on next."
"Isadora was supposed to do her Swan Lake dance," Principal McLean said, "But I don't think I can handle another one of her constant chattering for another minute. Go ahead"
Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, Addison, and Matt got out of the auditorium to find the trail leading them to the cafeteria. Inside, they saw the Jeivan Nerds stealing healthy sodas from the vending machine and using them for explosion experiments, "The principal of the 90s replaced the regular sodas with healthy sodas, just so they can show students that nutrition is important" growled Addison, "When you mess with nutrition, you're going to get it."
Guardians Unite
Peggy and Will shot lightning bolts, Rayne caused a rainstorm, Isadora used her supersonic breath, Mahi made firebolts, Addison shot wooden stakes to the nerds.
Mahi sensed heat near the stoves where the lunch was cooking for the summer school kids, "Addy" shouted Mahi, "Those nerds were trying to experiment explosions, so maybe I could do it."
"Nerds attack bullies" recalled Addison, "But we don't want Principal McLean catching us cutting rehearsal."
With her heating abilities, she made all the healthy soda fizz like crazy and make a mess, causing the Jeivan Nerds to slip and slide. Lua Doi came out and sent the Jeivan Nerds through the portal, "You know something" Addison said as she used her telekinesis to clean the mess, "This is just like a scene from a movie that my dad wrote, "Dorks of The Dare" where a group of nerds was dared to rig the soda machine. Then thanks to a thermostat prank, the sodas went out of control and everyone was slipping like crazy"
"I remember that movie" Rayne recalled, "The soda pop prank was my favorite part."
They quickly changed back and teleported to the auditorium so Principal McLean won't find out. Luckily, they were too busy watching Mae and her friends wrapping up their Mickey number.
Later after rehearsal, Radio Disney was at Pumpkin Pop candy shop for the broadcast, "Why do we have to change the broadcast to there?" Principal McLean said,
"Because Miss. Mahalanbis is having some landlord troubles" Mrs. Dean explained, "When Chloe was young, I use to get candy from here. It's been three years since I last did this and maybe this year I should do some nostalgia. Rayne warned me about Miss. Cookson shutting down the candy store. I don't know how Rayne knew about the place shutting down, but I don't want Chloe to get upset about letting her favorite candy store gets shut down."
"This is ridiculous" replied Principal McLean, "Candy can cause cavities, create migraines and fatten people up."
"And what's wrong with being fat?" asked Chandra angrily, "My Mom inherited the store from my grandfather. When was a little, he wasn't allowed to have candy, because his parents were dentists."
"Dental hygiene is important Miss. Mahalanbis" replied Principal McLean
"So is saving my grandfather's dream" growled Chandra.
At a turntable, a handsome DJ with 80s apparel came up, he was DJ Psychsound of Radio Disney "Okay folks" he shouted, "I want to thank Colby Houghton, who was the son of my old college friend, I will always remember her for her seance show, "Spooky Sounds" now let the magic of music begin."
Unfortunately, he picked the wrong song and played New World Symphony No. 9 by mistake, "Oops" he said, "Boss is going to kill me."
Mahi tried to punch him, but Peggy stopped her girlfriend, "Take it easy, Tiger Kitten" whispered Peggy, "Temper control."
Peggy secretly placed her hand behind her back and changed into with the help of her technopath powers. Then DJ Psychsound's laptop started playing Allstar Weekend's Different Side of Me. "This was my favorite song as a kid" recalled DJ Psychsound, "Let's boogie folks."
Both Mahi and Rayne rapped to the song, Peggy, Isadora, and Addison danced to it and everyone else started having a good time. Everyone in Bulsara Street started barging into Pumpkin Pop and started buying candy from the place, much to Miss. Cookson's Dismay, "Keep the mortgage" shouted. Miss. Cookson.
"Where am I going to get my lime candy now, Mommy," asked Lara.
"I'm afraid we'll have to get them at the Wall2Wall Mart" Miss. Cookson replied sadly.
Everyone cheered because they just saved the candy store.
The End.
