Wishworld, Australia
Carrie, Lottie, and Alesha arrived on Wishworld wearing tropical apparel. Wondering about who's who, Jody explained that the girl looking for her pen pal was named Mariza, who was visiting the land for the first time ever.
"Mariza," Carrie recalled. "That's Masci's little sister, you told me about her didn't you."
"Yup," Jody answered. "After two years of writing to her Wishworld pen pal, she'd figure it was about time she met her."
"But what would a Wishling do with a sea creature?" Alesha asked. "It's against the rules for aliens, monsters, and fantasy creatures to go around in their true forms in public."
"She isn't just any Wishling," Jody explained. "She's Wrenley, daughter of the head of the Aquatics Department of the Australian NSA. She's also the one looking for her lost dog."
Immediately, they decided to look for find Mariza, Wrenley, and the lost dog.

Elsewhere in Sydney, Becky and Maria were going around Penny Lane on Sydney. "Tell me again why do we have to go to Wishworld?" Maria asked. "They have poisonous spiders, sharks, and foxes."
"Because I need to get a good picnic game for when we get to watch Starland's Comet," Becky explained. "We've done Fristar, sack races, and horseshoes. I want to try something different."
Whlie looking around she saw an Australian Terrier named Halley, named after Halley's Comet. Becky remembered her parents having their honeymoon on the same comet back in 1986. "Are you lost?" she asked.
Halley nodded her head.
"Don't worry," Becky cooed. "We'll find your owners."
Maria was surprised because Becky had the ability to talk to animals. "It was my natural Starland gift besides detecting and helping out good wishes," Becky explained, "unlike you and your Solitair powers and detecting and helping out bad wishes."
"True," recalled Maria. "But I have to turn the REALLY bad wishes into black sparkles to avoid destruction to Starland. Then I erase the memories of those who granted the bad wish."
Becky was annoyed by Maria's bad-wish detecting, but was glad she turned them into sparkles for the sake of Starland.

By the Sydney Opera House, Jody and the SDE found Masci. He was waiting for his little sister. From the grounds, a little sea creature with blue and purple hair popped out. Luckily, patrons were inside watching the production of "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." After introducting Mariza to the Starlings, Mariza turned into her human form and explained the Australian NSA's pen pal program.
"I chose Mariza because of love for animals as well as mine," Mariza explained. "Masci helped me out so Mom and Dad won't have to worry about me going off on my own."
"And since they're having friends over for dinner," Masci explained, "I decided to supervise her."
"Halley? Halley?" called a small Australian girl in surfer apparel.
"That must be Wrenley," guessed Mariza. "I remember her seeing her from the waterproof pictures she gave me."
After Wrenley told them how Halley wandered off, they decided to go back to the last place she saw her dog: Gold Coast Beach.

At Gold Coast Beach, Becky and Maria kicked off their socks and shoes and let Halley sniff around for her owner. That's when trouble occurred. Surfers were running from a sea snake. It was Hydra. He was holding lost doggies hostage and decided to make Halley his first test subject. Fortunately, Halley's quick wits helped her escape. Thinking back, he tricked all the owners of the missing dogs into giving them some mango popsicles. Unlike Wishworld's brain freeze, his Hydra Mango Pops would make Wishlings so distracted by the popsicle, that they'd forget very important things.
"Now that's what I call a brain freeze," Maria growled. From her bag, she got out some playing card. From the spade and diamond cards were a sword and shield, and from the club and heart cards were a wand and a bow and arrow. "Take the wand," Maria suggested. "You know about fairy godmothers. This is your time."
From the wand, Becky placed the snakes on cotton candy cloud. The Starsnakes were so satisfied by the cotton candy clouds that they ate them while the pink fluffy clouds floated away. Hydra was so enraged, that he took the bow and arrow and shot towards them. However, it hit a police car by mistake, for the bow and arrow only worked on those who were good at heart. Hydra was still enraged, and he started hopping mad.
Halley started running off on her own while Becky and Maria went after it.
They found Halley jumping into the hands of Wrenley. "There you are, Halley," Wrenley smiled with joy. "I must've lost you while getting distracted by that Space Mango popsicle."
When Alesha, Lottie, and Carrie looked up, they saw Becky and Maria. They were surprised that their two Starling Academy friends found out about their secret. Thinking back, they knew that they had to erase their memories so no other Stalring would suspect their missions. With a deep breath, Alesha said, "We're not erasing their memories."
"What?" everyone asked.
"We've bonded with Becky and Maria so much," Alesha explained, "that they deserve to know. When it comes to superheroes, there are those that are worthy to know our secret and those that aren't."
"And we're worthy, right?" Becky asked.
"You guessed it," Alesha said. "And you're not gonna tell anyone else, right?"
"No way," Becky smiled. "I've watched television shows about superheroes. If the superintendent of the Starland School District found out, you could get expelled."
"And my dad knew all the police officers," Maria explained. "He was a chef for the Starland Security Facility. You would love his boomerang sandwiches."
"Speaking of boomerangs..." interupted Lottie while pointing out to a boomerang with stars on it. The boomerang glew, and it became another Wonder Wish: Instincts.
During their celebration, Hydra got furious by another defeat. Just as he was about to attack, a beach cop came up. "Listen here, buddy," he growled. "You hit my car with a sharp arrow, kidnapped numerous dogs, and harassed the good patrons of the beach. I think a 300-hour community service assignment will help straighten you out."
Everyone laughed at the handcuffed Hydra. "Looks like we won't be handling the Hydra Hooligan for a while," suggested Lottie. "The only thing to do now is, like, watch Starland's Comet."

A few hours later, everyone at Starling Academy was making final preperations to watch Starland's Comet. Just then, Phoenix came out in a disappointed look. Behind her, Kate, Luna, and Mega were trying to comfort their leader, due to the fact that her brother couldn't make it to the Starland's Coment watch.
"I don't want to wait another 50 years!" exclaimed Phoenix. "I want my big brother!"
Carrie, Alesha, Lottie, Jody, and Masci arrived at the same time Phoenix mentioned her brother. "Did anyone know that Phoenix had a brother?" MAsci asked.
"I did," Alesha answered, "but I don't remember his name. Only thing I know for sure is that he was a Star Prep bully."
Sitting down on the soft blue-green grass, Alesha and the others took a glimpse at a beautiful star shaped comet. It was Starland's Comet, passing by the land named after it. Behind them, the rest of the Star Darlings joined in the watch. Unknown to Jody and Masci, they took each other's hands and stared lovingly.
"Is your sister going to be okay on Wishworld?" asked Jody.
"Mariza is a growing pre-teen sea monster," Masci explained. "She'll be fine with Wrenley."

Wishworld, Australia
Meanwhile, at Gold Coast Beach, Mariza and Wrenley were supervising the lost dogs while Halley was cuddling towards the sea creature in human form and her Wishling owner. From the boardwalks, Australian patrons came around finding their lost dogs. Everyone rejoiced that they'd found their best friends again. They were so happy that they stayed to watch Starland's Comet, which could also be seen from Wishworld.
Starland
Back on Starland, everyone made wishes on the comet, for they remembered the saying, "If you wish on a comet, your wish will come true." Masci and Jody's wish was to have the most romantic moment ever. As for the Star Darlings, their wish was to find all the Wonder Wishes before it was too late.
The End
