The students for the Hartfeld High Summer Show were rehearsing their "Anything You Can Do" number. Afterward, Principal McLean had an important announcement. "Listen here, children," he ordered. "Due to your Ill-confident acting skills, I decided to seek an advisor to whip you guys into shape before August. So please welcome Sơn Ca Bach."
From the wheelchair ramp, Mrs. Bach came onstage. "Hey, Grandma!" shouted Mae.
"Mae, manners," Addison reminded her sister.
"More like Mae Your Manners," insulted Rochelle as Sasha and Lara joined her. Addison and Mae decided to ignore her.
"Ms. Vilks," continued Principal McLean, "Mrs. Bach has been helping our theater programs since 1995."
"Decades of theater and no plans to retire," Mrs. Bach replied. "Principal McLean told me all about your little gay and lesbian charades, which I find silly."
Principal McLean was horrified by what she said. "No, no, no!" he shouted. "You're supposed to lecture on anti-homosexual plays."
"That stuff is completely inappropriate for schools," replied Mrs. Bach. "Plus there are numerous LGBT plays like 'The Destiny of Me', 'The Taste of Honey', and-"
Addison got so annoyed by the argument between Principal McLean and her argument, she made a tiny tornado come up and made Principal McLean get dizzy, causing the students to laugh. Peggy knew that Mahi was the only one who would mess with his emotions like that. Just then a fire started coming out of Addison's hands. As quick as they could, Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, and Mahi rushed Addison out of the auditorium.
"We should get Will," Rayne suggested. "She'll know what to do."

Later at Himesh Hall, Will was examining Addison's hand and recognized the problem. "She's got the Quinto Guardian power," she explained. "The same thing happened to Cornelia once."
"What's this Qunito Guardian thing?" asked Mahi.
"It's when a Guardian gets all of the powers at once," explained Will.
"But how did she get the Quinto power?" asked Rayne.
"I think it's the nightmares," Addison suggested. "After our last encounter with Lua Doi, I've been having nightmares of him and my dad together."
"You can't get powers through nightmares," Isadora laughed. "Sometimes I eat fried chicken and they gave me nightmares. Felipa sometimes gets realistic crazy nightmares from eating too many cholate pieces before bed."
"I'm afraid so," Alexa replied. "I also studied on that. Sometimes when a Guardian gets so many nightmares, they lose control of their powers."
"I need some air," said Addison quickly as she left.
"We should follow her before things get out of hand," Mahi suggested.
"Tiger Kitten is right," replied Peggy. "We don't want her to turn Hartfeld into a jungle."
As PRIMA left, Matt decided to teach Alexa guitar properly. "Now, now," Matt said to Alexa as they got their guitars. "You don't move your wrist when playing the guitar."
Alexa played her guitar without moving her wrist. "That's it," replied Matt. "Use the point of the guitar pick."

Meanwhile, Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, and Mahi were looking for a sign of where Addison could be. Rayne spotted some lotus tea herbs on the ground, leading them to Waverly Rennold Opera House. Isadora remembered that "The Wizard of Oz" performed there a thousand times and Waverly Rennold was the name of a local actress from the 1900s. Inside, they found water replicants of "Wizard of Oz" characters, and Addison begins to think that she was Dorothy.
"Oh, Toto," despaired Addison. "I think we're not in Kansas anymore."
"You're not," replied Rayne. "You're in Massachussettes."
They tried to reason with her, but Addison couldn't snap out of it. A firefly came in and flew all around Addison. With one change, he transformed into Liam.
"Addy," replied Liam, "I'm here."
"How did you know where we were?" asked Peggy.
"I have the hearing on a bat," Liam explained. "I can hear you girls from a distance between here and Hartfeld High."
Addison could see Liam and was about to attack when he grabbed her hand. "Listen," Liam replied. "I know you're acting really crazy because of what's going on with you, but you have love." With one kiss, Addison snapped out of her Qunito Guardian form, and all the "Wizard of Oz" water creatures were destroyed.
"Don't you love it when they kissed?" Isadora asked. "I've seen some of the patrons in our apartment building make out before. Gays, lesbians, straights. There is this one time when a janitor made out with a real estate agent and they were caught by the landlord. I'll never forget it."
"Thank you, Liam," Addison said.
"I couldn't let you get hurt," Liam replied.
"If there's one thing I learn from Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'," Addison explained, "it's that you don't tell your secret that you're a monster to your sweetheart unless it's on accident or an emergency."
Then they started hearing some awful swan noises coming from the park. It was Jeivan swans causing trouble.
Guardians Unite
Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison arrived at the park where they saw Asinorth with a flute. As she played it, Jeivan swans started to attack.
They found Jeivan swans wrecking havoc and draining fear from the good citizens of Hartfeld. Addison shot out some lotus tea leaves and poisoned the river with tea. Rayne used her water manipulation and scared away the Jeivan swans. She also had to replace the contaminated water with normal water for safety.
Asinorth was foiled again. She followed the Jeivan swans through the portal by a dumpster and the portal closed.

At Covington Ice Cream later on, Mae, Anatole, and Mrs. Bach were relaxing and enjoying a coconut and banana sundae. "Mae," said Mrs. Bach, "are these really coconut shreddings and not grey hair?"
"They're not, Grandma," laughed Mae.
"I remember having crème glacée back in Paris," recalled Anatole. "Madame Bach, the lecture may have been déroutant, but you know how to stand up to Principal McLean."
"Actually," replied Mae, "we call him McMean behind his back. He runs the school like a prison, even in the summer."
"I had gay and lesbian students before," Mrs. Bach replied. "I'm going to make sure he doesn't harm neither of you, nor your sister and her friends."
"Speaking of which," Mae replied as she spots them by the window. "They're arriving on time for happy hour."
Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, Addison and Liam came in to see that Addison's grandma, sister, and her sister's boyfriend were getting along perfectly. In one table, Rayne and Isadora could see Alton, Colby, and Dagger getting along perfectly. Rayne couldn't make up her mind on whom she had her heart set on, but decided to get along as friends first. Isadora, on the other hand, kissed Dagger and sat down.
Peggy and Mahi took each other's hands and took off, and Addison and Liam joined Mae, Anatole, and Mrs. Bach while holding hands.
The End
