At Jukebox Rock, Judson, Tokkori, and Sparky were enjoying sugar-free chocolate milkshakes and were going over a new song for when the Winx Club came to town. "Why can't I go to the special surprise with your Bugaloos?"

"Because you would get jealous of Harmony again," Judson answered.

"Yeah," agreed Sparky. "You should be happy for him."

Sparky looked up and saw a glum look on Judson's face. "Say, Jud...how come you didn't introduce the Bugaloos to your family?"

"Don't get me wrong," replied Judson. "My brother and sister love them, but I don't know if my parents will like them. My maternal grandparents were exterminators, and I'm afraid my father would scare the bugs out of them. He's really dark."

On the diner television, they could see Tang Yanghui with some urgent news. "Former general manager of Perfect Badge Records would demand a Judson Todd to return to his record company, or else."

Judson was petrified by this. Without knowing what to do, he decided to go to the Klue Queens.

XxoxX

Meanwhile the Klue Queens were guiding a bunch of blindfolded Bugaloos to the secret stairs to the Fairy Garden.

"Where are you taking us, loves?" asked I.Q.

"Yeah," agreed Courage. "You told us to come here for a little storytime with the music fairies."

"Good thing we did do the story while Joy, Courage, and I acted out the play," replied Harmony.

"I still don't get why you have to take us to the DVD case and blindfold us," Joy finished.

By the time they reached the bottom of the stairs, Tania told the Bugaloos to remove their blindfolds and were bewildered by the beautiful fairy sanctuary filled with Indian flowers. Above them, the music fairies from I.Q.'s story popped up and flew down. "This is the garden where fairies come to stay safe," explained Leah. "Former slave hideout and now '40s agreement garden."

"And the Indian flowers add a personal touch," Kaylin continued. "But there's another guest we have here. How would you like to have a collaboration with the Winx Club?"

"Those fairies from Magix?" guessed Courage.

"That's right, Courage!" shouted a fairy.

At the end of the garden, six beauitiful fairies popped out with their musical instruments.

Bloom, Fairy of the Dragon Flames

Stella, Fairy of the Shining Sun

Tecna, Fairy of Technology

Musa, Fairy of Music

Flora, Fairy of Nature

Aisha, Fairy of Waves

The Bugaloos were so amazed by their appearance, they summoned their own instruments and joined in.

We are the Winx, we are the Winx

Come join the Club, we are the Winx

The Bugaloos, the Bugaloos

We're in the air and everywhere.

Everyone was bouncing and having a good time. That was, until Tania spotted Judson, Sparky, and Tokorri in through the door with worried looks on their faces. Judson explained to them about his live television threat that Perfect Badge Records was where he got his big break.

"That's in Missouri," recalled Musa. "You moved all the way from Florida to Missouri just so you could take your passion and make it happen."

"It was the only record company available," explained Judson. "I liked the backup band they gave me and the chance to let me sing, but the general manager drove me crazy. Tucking shirts in, singing a little flat, my timing being 'off'."

Seeing this, they knew that Judson didn't want to go through that again. In order to clear his head, they decided to go around town and find the place that would make him feel better.

XxoxX

Flora, Aisha, Paige, Rylie, and Rick were arriving at Pies in a Pod, hoping that a banana cream pie would cheer him up. Inside, Mrs. Mitter was growling while setting up some Friendly Scout cookies that were only sold in Australia. Paige found it strange, because they hadn't done a shipment of Friendly Scout cookies since the International Friendly Scout Cookie Fair in Washington D.C. last year.

"Is that where you met the president?" asked Flora.

"Of course," answered Paige. "And you would not totally believe how Swinger digged his pad."

"By that," corrected Rylie, "he liked the White House."

"Hippie talk," recalled Aisha.

While having free chocolate cream/truffle pie samples, Mrs. Mitter explained to them that a perfectionate man came and gave her the cookies, then he insisted on giving them to Judson when he comes here.

"But don't you remember from the movie 'Hercules'?" asked Rylie. "'If is good'. So maybe if we could keep Judson away from Pies in a Pod until further notice..."

"That's not the only thing that happened," Mrs. Mitter replied. "He dropped this book here."

Carefully, Flora read the title of the book.

Perfection for Morons

Inside, the pages showed how to do things perfectly, much to their disturbance.

XxoxX

On Penny Lane, Musa, Stella, Estrella, Swinger, Kaylin and the Bugaloos were arriving at Symphony Sound Music Shop when they bumped into a man in a posh suit with scout badges. Moonshell was getting out some Bugaloo t-shirts when he spotted our heroes. Moonshell was a huge fan of the Bugaloos, especially their keyboardist.

"How ya doin', Harmony?" greeted Moonshell as the man started to flinch and barging out, much to our heroes confusion.

While they were talking to Moonshell about finding a new songbook to help cheer Judson up, Sunrise Shell and Bivalve were coming up with some imported Friendly Scout cookies. Swinger crawled up to it, smelled the cookies, growled, and headed back to Estrella. Bivalve explained to them that a perfectionist just gave them 1,000 dollars and a shipment of Friendly Scout cookies from another country.

"You would not believe how many boxes Conch used for his cinnamon bird boxes," said Bivalve. "Two boxes."

"That's plenty to handle those birds from the Sweet Surfer world," replied Estrella. "Normal birds could get sick if they eat them."

"Why would a random guy just give the local music shop a bunch of imported Friendly Scout cookies?" asked Musa.

"Strange," agreed Kaylin. "But we better get the others and inform them of the imported cookies and the weird guy we bumped into."

XxoxX

Meanwhile, Tecna, Tania, Bloom, Leah, Kirby, and Judson were arriving at Scoutapalooza, the local scout apparel store.

"It's where scouts go to buy their uniforms," Tania explained to Judson. "Not just Friendly Scouts, but Fireside Girls, Squirrelly Scouts, and Creampuffs."

"That reminds me," replied Judson, "I'm going to have to give something to Luella and Trace."

Kirby was curious because Judson wasn't a Friendly Scout. Leah explained, "Friendly Scout Handbook 1953: Page 42, Clause 4A: those who aren't Friendly Scouts can give badges to those who *are* Friendly Scouts for being naturally gifted in that talent."

"Luella has mastered the art of playing the drums thanks to her free lessons from Courage," Judson explained. "And Trace's keyboard lessons from Harmony really have paid off."

As they were looking around, Kirby found some imported Friendly Scout cookies. Thinking it could be a clue, he gave one to Leah. "Cinna Orange Blossoms?" she asked. "You can only get these in Australia. Cousin Clark craves for these sort of things."

"But I don't," replied Judson as he barged up to the store manager, who happened to be a neighbor of Judson's. "What's the idea messing with my allergies?"

"I just talked with the manager and the crew working here," explained Bloom. "They explained that a perfectionist just bribed them with Australian dollars and the Cinna Orange Blossoms. Otherwise, they'll turn all the Scoutapalooza shops in Pennsylvania into a black-and-white movie."

Crept out by what Bloom said, they decided to gather the others at Cruller Comrade fast.

XxoxX

Ten minutes later, everyone met at Cruller Comrade, hoping that some Russian tea would calm Judson down. Parker came and got word from Tang Yanghui about a few buisness getting strange imports of Australian cookies, which they didn't ordered. "My mom is getting an import of Russian Friendly Scout cookies," he explained. "She really wants to bring her homeland here.

"Patya?" asked his mother. "Are you going to to serve these kliyenty some coffee or tea?"

"Patya?" chuckeld Estrella.

"Mat," replied Parker, "Call me Parker. It makes me feel more American."

Looking at the middle-aged woman with swan patterns on her uniform, Stella knew who she was. "Aren't you *the* Regina Ponomaryova?" she asked. "The Swan Queen of 'Let's All Dance Until We're Sick Russia'?"

"Da," answered Regina. "I may have been the Swan Queen back in Russia, but my beloved husband came here on a government assignment to make sure witches don't get caught while living their theater dreams."

"Not only my dad is the head accountant at Comrade Cruller," explained Parker. "He's also a international talent agent for good witches and warlocks who want to pursue dancing."

"Koroleva lebedey!" shouted one of the workers. "We got a problema!"

Remembering that the workers at Cruller Comrade adress problems in Russian, the Klue Queens knew something was up.

"Let those bugs handle the Oolong issues," Tokkori laughed. "I'll wait here for my honey-glazed donuts."

"No way, mate," growled Rick. "You just had a chocolate milkshake and Leah doesn't want you spoiling your appetite."

In the kitchen, everyone was horrofied that Cruller Comrade didn't get Russian Friendly Scout cookies. Instead, they got Orange Cinna Blossoms.

"Shtopat," growled Mrs. Duffy. "That buisness bamboozled me. He promised me some nutmeg nutcrackers, but instead, these orange cinnamon cookies."

They figured that whoever was threatening Judson must be going after the places that he loved. There was only one place in Lititz Heights where they could be safe: Guevara's Cantina.

XxoxX

Five minutes later, they arrived Guevara's Cantina, which Joyce's parents owned. On one of the tables, someone left behind a plate of Ecuadorian cookies. Just as Kirby was about to eat them, a Latino woman shouted, "Kirby, save some galetas for the rest of us! We're having that after our Arroz Con Salmon!"

It was Judson's Ecuadorian mother Macarena, her older brother Zander, and his African-American mother Lauren.

"Mom, Tio Zander, Tia Lauren," Judson greeted. "Thank goodness you're here. Someone is threatening me with Orange Cinna Blossoms."

Mrs. Todd, Tio Zander, and Tia Lauren were horrified by the theats that Judson has been getting. "Allergies to cinnamon and oranges?" asked Zander.

"I'm afraid so," Judson admitted.

The Bugaloos were amazed by the interior by the cantina. Courage began to wonder why Judson couldn't bring them here. "I couldn't let you guys perform because if my dad sees you," he explained, "he'll be annoyed."

The Bugaloos were pretty sorry that Judson couldn't bring them due to daddy issues, but were certain that his dad would like them. "That's what I said," recalled Rick.

While everyone was feeling happy for Rick and the Bugaloos' assurance, Sparky started playing around with the bow and arrow."Sparky, be careful!" shouted Estrella. "That could be a real bow and arrow, and we don't want your lighter to go out."

"Sorry," replied Sparky. "I was trying to be like Robin Hood, from the story I learned at the library. "

On the menu, Kirby could see what Judson's family was going to have. "This is our new Arroz con cedar plank salmon," explained Tio Zander. "My little sister and I thought it be a good way to welcome little people from Native American villages."

"Isn't salmon what Native Americans eat?" asked Rylie. "I remember making salmon during my cooking classes last year."

"It is," answered Mrs. Todd. "That's why we have that archery gear."

By a table near the stage, Tecna was going over a DVD that she got from Scoutapalooza. "The owner gave Bloom security footage of what happened," she explained. "And didn't the guy that Kaylin and Estrella's team bumped into had scout badges."

"He did," answered Estrella, "Why do you-"

Just as Estrella was about to say "ask," she spotted the same man she saw at Sound Symphony, threatening Waving Shells to sell the Orange Cinna Blossoms or else he'd turn them into a "perfect" music store.

"And by that," concluded the man in the scout jacket, "I'll make sure all strings are unbreakable, the instruments aren't cockamingy, and they don't have any scratches."

Judson was parylyzed by the face of the man in the scout jacket. Instead of explaining who he was, he barged into the kitchen.

"We'll try to calm him down," explained Tia Lauren. "I'm sure by tomorrow the man in the scout jacket will go away."

XxoxX

The next day at school, Leah and Estrella were getting out of class when they saw some students putting up a pink sparkly flier.

At Winx Club, Musical Magical Mayhem

A Lecture on Fairy Music

Not only were the Winx there to welcome the Bugaloos, but to lecture students on fairy music.

XxoxX

After the assembly, they met the Winx backstage. The principal gave them permission to go backstage, as long as they did the homework for the next two weeks in case of any mysteries coming up. When they met up with them, Aisha explained that the same thing happened to Pies in a Pod.

"On our way to Lititz Heights High," she explained, "Mrs. Mitter explained that the man would he would turn the shop into a 'perfect' pie shop. She just dumped out all the Orange Cinna Blossoms, because she would rather shut down then to let the cousin of one of her workers suffer a time loop."

"That's what the culprit meant by 'or else'," declared Bloom. "He'll make his favorite places serve and feed you nothing but stuff covered in cinnamon and or oranges."

"But why would the scout jacket man wanna do that?" asked Leah.

Before they could think of anything, Tania came in with notes from the other Winx members, and they said then when they were in those shops that helped clear Judson's head, they each were selling Cinna Orange Blossoms.

Kirby popped in while shouting "Poyo!" They didn't know what Kirby was talking about, but Tecna did. Using her techonolgy power, she showed footage of the same man from the footage grabbing Judson.

"But Uncle Barrett," shouted Judson, "I can't go back! Tania and the Bugaloos need me!"

"Judson Todd," shouted Uncle Barrett, "'The Bugaloos' is just a television show from the 1970s! It's not real! I didn't go through all the trouble of threatening the shops you love so much into selling those Australian cookies I smuggled and make them give it to you in order to go back to Perfect Badge Records!"

"I can't believe that creep would do this to his own nephew," Rylie said angrily.

"Of course, we found a few clues along the way," recalled Tecna. "Like that camera footage from the Scoutapalooza Scout Shop, Brantley was bribing the owner to give Judson the rare Australian Cinna Orange Blossoms. Barrett flinched when we mentioned Harmony's name, and the book 'Perfection for Morons'."

Aisha informed them that she already informed the Bugaloos and Kirby and Swinger are with them for the day. "Come on, guys," Aisha said. "We gotta get the vice principal."

XxoxX

Meanwhile in Vice Principal Todd's office, Barrett was prepping up some utensils while Judson had his tied and was blindfolded.

*What a drag,* Judson thought to himself. *First a crazy rock witch kidnaps me at Bugstock and now my horrible uncle threatens me into coming back to Missouri. It was misery there.*

Secretly, Kirby, Swinger, Rick, Tokkori, and the Bugaloos were sneaking around the empty office.

"Before I could take you back to my limo," smiled Barrett, "I'm going to have my lunch. Low calorie pink salmon and brussel sprouts."

Remembering the Arroz con salmon that Mrs. Todd was serving, the Bugaloos got an idea, "Kirby, suck it up!" shouted the Bugaloos.

With one gulp of the salmon, Kirby turned into Archer Kirby. Using the archery ability, he scared Barrett out of the vice principal's office and freed Judson with one of the arrows.

"Are you okay, Judson?" asked Joy.

"I'll be alright," Judson answered as he removed his blindfold. "Now we gotta stop my uncle before he gets away."

I.Q. unleashed Fenmore, Fifi, Luigi, and Melvin and the Bug Pups, who chased after Barrett. While he was trying to escape, he got disturbed by a powerful magical musical beam created by Musa. "Can't face the music, weirdo?" asked Musa.

"The Winx Club?" asked Barrett. "This is an outrage."

"Uncle Barrett," Judson growled while he leashed the Bug Pups, "you gave me my big break when I was a kid, and now you wanted me back for milk and honey."

"Yeah, money," Sparky translated.

Little did they know was that Kirby started tying shoe laces together.

"After you left Perfect Badge Records, our stocked plunged," explained Barrett. "You have know idea how two decades of having your own little brother being successful than you and not being perfect. Permanent banning from Florida for creeping the public out, a bad reputation in the Friendly Scouts, and only market those who do R&B and hip hop. I'm the classical and folk song type here. When Owen informed me from jail about you starting a normal life with small town folk, I knew I had to take you back and away from those weirdos in bug costumes."

"Actually," corrected I.Q., "we're real."

"Spare me the performance." Barrett growled in disbelief.

"What's going on?" shouted a dark and mysterious man.

Looking carefully, the Winx Club knew exactly who he was. "Aren't you the former boy band boy, 'Brantley Todd'?" asked Flora.

Slowly, Vice Principal Todd nodded his head. "I was a member of the successful band Harmony Heaven," he explained. "We broke up in 2018 after disputes, and I couldn't leave my beloved Macarena. Drew started becoming a hip hopper for Palmtree Records, Javier and his brother Axel took over their dad's detective agency, Ayden is now a dance teacher in Arkansas, Kayden has become a dance clothes owner in Nerbraska, and I went into teaching so no one could end up acting like my brother."

"Now, Dad," interrupted Judson, "we don't want everyone acting like Uncle Barrett."

Remembering that he was the black sheep in the family, Vice Principal Todd got an idea. "Do you remember my comic book, 'Night of Terror'?" he asked his older brother.
"Oh, no," Barrett answered nervously. "Not that lame-o mole mutant comic book. Canibalism doesn't show perfection." He tried to get up, but stopped thanks to Kirby's little shoe-lace trick.

"Let's not forget that they live in on the underground that prey on human beings," VP Todd explained, "sucking the electricity from our world. The begin by freeze-drying and deboning the strongest humans for their starters, and next they drag them to their lair to be 'de-skulled' and dine on them with fast food utensils."

Barrett got the heebie jeebies from Brantley's story. Suddenly, Principal Hopkins came in, wondering what was going on. Traumatically, Barrett promised never to harass his own nephew again and headed for the hills. Everyone but Principal Hopkins cheered.

"Well done, girls," VP Todd said to the Klue Queens and Winx Club. He turned to his eldest son's backup band and smiled. "And you must be my son's new backup band," he guessed. "I remember seeing you a few times from mi amigo Javier's VHSses. I loved the episode where you scared the feathers off of Benita as ghosts."

"I remember that," recalled Joy. "She should've seen her face."

"See, mate," Rick said to Judson, "I knew your old man would love the Bugaloos."

Judson was happy because his father his father liked his new backup band.

"Brantley," demanded Principal Hopkins, "what is going on here?"

"Just my older brother trying to win custody of Judson," explained VP Todd. "But I decided to do a custody battle, Harmony Heaven edition."

Prinicpal Hopkins could remember custody battles from a few teachers back in her early teaching days, so she decided to let them go.

The End.
