In the vicinity of her home, Addison was playing the song her father wrote on the piano. Then she started to sing.
Crave for the cream
Where there's a sundae dream
Be in the jungle where Dr. Zheng
With the rhinos eating ginseng
Mae came in and she started to sing
Monkey Bar Bobby will not be slobby.
He is not a Dork of The Dare
Run from the Fear In The Castle to my heart
And look at the love chart.
Then they both started to sing
Follow the rabbits and shooting nights

on a trip to Hospital Heaven
"Thinking about Dad again?" asked Mae.
"Yup," Addison said sadly. "I haven't got my mind off of him nor Lua Doi."
"Sis, come on," Mae replied. "It's been nearly nine to ten years since he disappeared. We'll find him. Also, tomorrow night is our little show. I don't want you to get nervous."
"You're right," replied Addison. "Grandma is going to volunteer as a supervisor, and I don't want her to catch me going PRIMA." Before she could go to bed, she spotted Mr. Mustard with a DVD. Behind him, the other Bearakeets were making noises and flying around like flies.
"Take it easy, guys," Addison replied. "I need my sleep."
The Bearakeets suddenly did a pouting face, wanting her to watch it. "I know I hate the puppy dog face," replied Addison, "but I feel like this is urgent." On her laptop, she played the DVD.
Mae said, "It feels like that cancelled reality show 'Bust 'Em', because the producers felt like they were playing Tattletale."
"Quiet," whispered Addison. "We don't want to wake up Grandpa."
On the DVD, they spotted Hanoi Heaven's dining room. The entire place was empty, except for one area where the kitchen was. Lua Doi was coming out of the place with some pho soup. He removed his mask, revealing to be their missing father. "That's Dad," Addison whispered to herself. "But he couldn't break into a Vietnamese soup shop on purpose. He must be brainwashed."
Billy Shears, Ms. Lizzy, Rita, Maggie May, and Mr. Mustard nodded their heads. Observing his piercing eyes, they saw that he was hypnotized. Not wanting to get tired before the show, they decided to get some sleep.

The next day at Hartfeld High, they were having their last rehearsal before the show. Will, Matt, and Oana were volunteering as ushers for the shows. Alexa and Amalia on the other hand, were helping a bunch of Zallegrean children give a tour and a chance to see an Earth show.
Everyone was excited to perform, but Addison was bummed - not because of the show, but because of her hypnotized father. "Could this get any worse?" asked Mahi.
"It has," Rochelle replied. "Principal McLean has torn your costumes."
"This better not be another trick to make us dumb," Rayne replied. "We all now how deceitful you are."
"Not this time," Rochelle replied. "Sasha, Lara, and I saw him tearing up Peg's and Mahi's costumes because he couldn't take your lesbian love anymore. Sasha tried to stop them, but he told her to get her 'lesbian butt' out of his way. I'm mean and a snob, but when you mess with my friends Sasha and Lara, you're gonna get it."
The five of them were petrified, because their horrible principal had gone to far with his homophobic behavior. Just then, their rings started to glow. "We're gonna go find some costumes," Peggy said as they took off to the courtyard.
Mae and Liam followed them, because they knew it had to be her father. "You guys need some Jeivan help?" asked Liam. "A few peasants warned me and my mom and Asinorth's hypnotic music spells."
"That must be how my father got hypnotized," Addison guessed. "Looks like he's going to need a hypno-coma wake up."

Liam took on the form of a pegasus, Mae hopped onto him and they took off.

At the local TV studio, Hart of Television Studios, they spotted Lua Doi humming the same song Addison knew by heart. Mahi tried to attack him, but Addison and Mae decided to handle it themselves. "Duy Can," said Addison as she descended down.
"What did you say?" asked Lua Doi
"Duy Can," Addison said. "Your name is Duy Can, a writer and a father."
"It's true," Mae replied as she got off of Liam. "You're a father of two girls, who are now grown up and performers at the Hartfeld High Summer Show."
"I don't know what your talking about," said a confused Lua Doi.
"Duy Can, please," Addison said. "Tôi mến bạn."
Hearing these words, he remembered that they were the Vietnamese words for "I love you." Slowly, Lua Doi started to change back to Duy Cẩn.
Addison started to sing their special song, hoping that her father would remember who he was.

Duy Cẩn started to sing

Then all three of them started to sing.

"Kim Anh, My Uyen," smiled Duy Cẩn.
"Dad!" shouted Addison and Mae as they hugged their father.
Everyone bursted with tears of joy, a family reunion, and immense pride. "Look at you two," Duy Cẩn said. "You're all grown up and you're magical."
"Especially Addy," replied Mae, "because she's a member of a super team called PRIMA, which consists of her friends Peggy, Rayne, Isadora, and Mahi. Also, she's got a new boyfriend named Liam."
"That's me," Liam replied, "grandnephew of King Jeiva. If I remembered everything my mom told me, is that Grand-Uncle Jeiva ordered Asinorth to kidnap you and make you his personal slave."
"Very clever, Prince Liam," boasted Asinorth as she and Zemunth popped out behind a cardboard of Empress She-Wolf. "It was all the king's idea to kidnap a human for his hypnotic slave project. The only who didn't make it through that car crash we set up was Duy Can's wife, but that's okay. We didn't want already made zombies anyway."
Addison got mad. "Killing my mom and kidnapping my dad is unforgivable!"
"You tricked me!" shouted Duy Can. "Luckily, Addison and Mae's unconditional love snapped me out of it."
"Should we fight?" asked Zemunth.
"No," Asinorth replied. "We're going to punch them with music playing."
As she played her lute, everyone dodged the attacks. As Addison got up, she remembered the sisterly dance fight scene in "Two Daughters of Magic." "Mae," said Addison, "you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Sister dance fight," replied Mae.
The moment they took each other's hands, they did a combo of waltz and vovinam. Observing it, Mr. Bach recalled it as the Vietnamese karate technique and he used to take lessons as a child.
To help the Bach sisters, Peggy shot out some bolts, Rayne did a tidal wave, Isadora did a whirlwind, and Mahi did fire bolts. Not wanting any more of their powers, Asinorth and Zemunth returned to their world. "We did it!" Liam shouted. "Now let's get back to the show before anything else bad happens."

By the time they got back to Hartfeld High, the show was going on. Thinking about their paternal grandparents, Addison and Mae decided to surprise them with the return of their father.
Backstage, they saw Nicki and Belle were coming in with an angel and devil costume. "Rochelle told us about Principal McLean deliberately ruining your costumes out of homophobia," Nicki explained. "Going through the costume department, we found some leftover angel and devil costumes from the 2000s play 'My Angel of the Devil'."
"'My Angel of the Devil'?" asked Mr. Bach. "That's *my* play."
After a quick change, Peggy wore the angel costume, Rayne was dressed as Cleopatra, Isadora was in a tutu, Mahi wore a devil costume, Addison was in a red wig and a cowgirl uniform, Mae, Nicki and Belle wore cheerleading outfits, and Liam wore a cowboy outfit. "Look at us," Peggy replied. "We're cute."
"It can even be more cute with one little thing," Mahi replied as she placed a gold bracelet with a red jewel on it. "I bought it at the flea market at Cape Cod," she added. "I'd even got one for me. It's like the one I gave you, only with a red ruby on it."
Peggy looked at her Tiger Kitten and smiled. Just as they were about to kiss, a voice shouted, "What are you two wearing?!"
It was Principal McLean. He had returned from greeting the patrons. "Going through the costume department and stealing some costumes!"
"We weren't stealing, sir," Peggy replied. "Rochelle warned us of you ruining our costumes."
"What's the deal, man?!" shouted Mahi.
"The deal is that I can't stand you two going lesbian 24/7!" Principal McLean shouted and Mr. Bach secretly activated his microphone. "After the Summer Dance Show is over, I'm going to ban every homosexual brat in this dump! I don't care if boys kiss boys and girls kiss girls - they're a total disgrace to the public eye! Those mutants should be banned forever form school!"
After Mr. Bach turned off his microphone, he smiled. "Now if you'll excuse me," Principal McLean said calmly but sternly, "it's time for me to start the show."
Onstage, he saw furious faces instead of happy. "Homophobe!" shouted an audience member.
"The nerve of you!" shouted another.
"What's going on?" asked Principal McLean in rage. "Why aren't you cheering?"
"You should on Mr. Ihategay!" shouted an audience member.
Petrified the audience found out about his secret banishment plan, he tried to escape, but Alexa, Amalia, and the Zallegrean children made him trip. In front of Principal McLean, a dashing businessman came up. "Superintendent Bradford," he nervously said, "I can explain."
"No need," replied Superintendent Bradford. "I've been suspecting your homophobic banishment since the first day I hired you. I have a nephew in Las Vegas who came out as gay last month, and I can't stand any more of your behavior. YOU'RE FIRED!"
As the cops arrested Principal McLean for attempt homosexual banishment, Mr. Bach came onstage, much to the surprise of everyone, especially his parents. "Hello, everyone," he greeted. "I know, I know Duy Can Bach has returned. I've been taking a rest from the spotlight this past decade, and I figured it was about time I returned. So please welcome Peggy O'Donovan and Mahi Chakavarti with Boston's 'More Than a Feeling'."
Backstage, Rayne, Isadora, Addison, Mae, and Liam were amazed by what he did. "How did you know about the microphone?" asked Rayne.
"Working in show business," Mr. Bach answered. "You get to learn to activate the camera. I noticed that the man had a microphone on his jacket and I decided to teach him a lesson not to ruin costumes for your show."

During the show, everyone got a chance to perform.
After curtain call, Dr. and Mrs. Bach came up to their son and hugged him. "After all these years," said Mrs. Bach, "we finally got our son back."
"I know it's a lot to take in, Mom," replied Mr. Bach, "but I'm here."
As Rayne left for the after party, she spotted Colby and Alton. "So, Rayne," said Colby, "have you made up your mind on who you love?"
"I have," answered Rayne as she took Colby's hand. "It's you. I never seen anyone dance gracefully, and you really have a soft spot for disabled people."
"I really do," Colby answered as he kissed Rayne.
Instead of feeling sad, Alton was happy because he confessed his romantic feelings for Belle, because of her safety precautions.
The End.
