It was a sunny afternoon, the students were wrapping up rehearsal when Mrs. Dean said, "Your costumes are ready and this is the time for the costume test."
A few minutes later, they were all dressed up in their new costumes. Peggy and Mahi wore modern dance outfits and were barefoot, Rayne wore a Cleopatra costume, Isadora wore a white and light blue ballerina tutu, and Addison wore a green cowgirl had and a red wig, making her look like Annie Oakley. Liam came in dressed as Frank Butler from "Annie Get Your Gun" and said, "You look good, Addy."
"You, too," Addison replied as she peck kissed her boyfriend.
Mae, Nicki, and Belle were all wearing cheerleading outfits that were pink and wore ballet slippers. Mae requested it because of her love for Addison.
Rochelle, Sasha, and Lara came in wearing pink disco outfits, similar to ABBA. "Are you girls jealous of our pink disco diva apparel?" asked Rochelle.
"Not really, Rochelle," Nicki replied. "Plus, Sasha and Lara kept their bows."
"It suits us," Sasha replied, "unlike your dumb cheer uniforms with lame old ballet slippers."
Mae, Nicki, and Belle decided to just ignore them and go find Anatole.
Colby dressed as Marc Anthony while Alton came in dressed as Julius Ceaser. Rayne started to blush. "Hey, Rayne," said Colby. "Are you doing anything for the Fourth of July?"
"You know," Rayne said as she blushed. "Just old fashion BBQ, fireworks, and sparklers."
"My mom won't let me play with sparklers," Alton replied. "She thinks it could burn my hands."
Peggy, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison were still worried about them hitting on Rayne.
Onstage, Anatole came in dressed in a raincoat and boots when he spots a middle-aged French woman talking to Principal McLean. "Mama," Anatole asked as he walked up to her, "what's going on here?"
"Anatole," Mrs. Sauveterre said sadly, "I don't know how to tell you this, but you can't be in the dance troupe anymore."
Little did they know was that Mae heard the whole thing and decided to tell PRIMA. On the stage, PRIMA was minding their business when Mae came up in a bad mood. "His mom says that he can't be in the dance troupe," Mae explained. "She thinks it's bad for his heart."
"I know he has your mom's heart," replied Rayne, "but a heart surgery can't stop him."
"That's right," Rayne recalled. "Regis Philbin had heart surgeries, but it didn't stop him from being a talk-show host."

Twenty minutes later, as they were getting out of costume, their rings started to glow, meaning that there was trouble. "It's a good thing that rehearsal is over," Peggy said, "because I think Principal McLean is going to be in a long argument again."
They followed the magic to Waffle World, where numerous patrons were running away in fear. The only ones inside the place were Will, Alexa, and Matt. "Time to take out!" exclaimed Rayne.
Guardians Unite
In the restaurant, they saw thousands of Jeivan peacocks making a mess. Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, Mahi, and Addison entered the battlefield immediately.
Then Peggy and Mahi got an idea. They both did their dance routine to round up all the Jeivan peacocks. Will, Alexa, and Matt knew that they needed to keep the peacocks. Alexa then got an idea of how she could keep the peacocks from escaping. She made a lightning bolt and created a cage over the peacocks.
"Go, Alexa!" Mae shouted from behind. "Alexa! Alexa! You're the girl! Now do a lightning thunder twirl! GO, ALEXA!"
Everyone was confused on what Mae was doing. "Nicki and Belle told me to get them some fries from Waffle World," she explained. "Luckily, they don't know anything about the whole Jeivan bird troubles."
Addison turned her head and said, "Speaking of which, they're escaping."
The Jeivan peacocks were being transported back to the Jeivan Empire by Lua Doi. "Drat," he growled as he rounded up the peacocks. "Looks like scaring away customers wasn't such a good idea."

Back in the human world, Will was taking them to Himesh Hall next door. Of course, they had to place an illusion spell on the cops across the street to avoid suspicion. Inside, she showed them a torn-up wedding dress.
"Isn't that one of the dresses from our last mission?" asked Mahi.
"It is," Will answered. "Isadora forgot to sew this one up. I was going through the shop when I came across a torn dress. It had wildcats in them, and I figured I could use it."
"Dang it," growled Isadora. "I forgot to sew that dress up. Cats love to scratch things like curtains, papers, people, sofas, and beds. They should get their nails trimmed now and again so there won't be any trouble."
"No, no," Will answered. "It's perfect. It reminds me of our wild adventures since I moved to Sherrfield, Washington."
"And what do you guys need for your wedding?" asked Mahi.
"We already got the catering order from Havana Java and Covington Ice Cream," Alexa said. "You would not believe how excited Mrs. O'Mooney was."
"And we chose to use sunflowers for our wedding," finished Matt, "because fall will come and we want to have the spirit of summer alive."
Will came up to Rayne and adjusted her glasses. "Rayne," she asked, "I was wondering - could you let Cassie be the flower girl?"
Rayne thought about it, but then she smiled. "Sure thing, Will," she answered. "But you have to let her wear something that goes with her superhero cape. She rarely takes it off."
"No problem," Will replied. "A dress that would go with her superhero cape."
Addison then looked at Mae, wondering if Anatole would be okay. "Don't worry about Nicki and Belle," Mae said. "They're straightening the mess out with Mrs. Sauveterre."
"Where are Anatole, Nicki, and Belle now?" Addison asked.
"At the paint shop," Mae said. "Anatole's mom works there as a sales associate."
"Did you get the fries?" asked Addison.
"Just did," Mae answered as she showed her big sister the bag.
"Good work, Mae," Addison smiled. "Now we won't have to worry about suspicions and tattletale Nicki's."

Later, PRIMA arrived at the paint shop where Mrs. Sauveterre works at. Principal McLean was looking for fence paint when Mrs. Sauveterre spots him and walks up to him with a smile. "There's been a mistake," she explained. "Turns out there was a file mix up between him and a firefighter who just stopped a burning building in North Hartfeld."
"Are you serious?" asked Principal McLean. "Anatole is not worth being in the show, due to a past surgery."
Anatole, Nicki, and Belle were in a corner when he heard his mom talking to Principal McLean about the file mixup. Mae came up to friends and gave them the fries she promised.
Mrs. Sauveterre looked at her son and his friends with a smile, then glared at Principal McLean with a frown. "If you're ever hard on my son or get any ideas that would get him in trouble," she growled, "I'll sue you."
"I never thought that you would be strong-willed," Principal McLean said sternly as he left with a can of paint. He began to wonder how much more of the teenage troubles he could take.
Just then, the burglar alarms went off, causing a startle in the store. "Shop-lifting again, Kevin?" asked a clerk.
"Do you have any idea how many repaints I have to do each year?" asked Principal McLean. "It must be a white sturdy fence."
The clerk was still mad, so she decided to take him to the manager.
PRIMA was happy because he wouldn't be bothering anyone for a while. "What are we going to do now?" asked Mahi.
"We have to leave tomorrow for the Fourth of July in Cape Cod," recalled Isadora. "Of course, in August, there's that mermaid festival. We met this one girl Diondra who was running away, but we helped her out by telling her that running away makes things worse. You won't get much food, you won't bathe, it would be hard to find a job, and you could hurt yourself."
The End.
