On a crystal clear night, Principal Hopkins was just finishing up her dinner. In her bedroom, a cat burglar snook into her bedroom. There they found a priceless necklace. It had a gold chain, with a beautiful heart-shaped pendant made of rose quartz. The burglar grabbed the necklace and made a run for it. The principal came into her room to find something wrong. "My $500 necklace is gone!" she shouted.

The next day at school, the girls were preparing for the Valentine's Day dance. "Poyo (What's going on here?)" Kirby asked.
"We're preparing for the annual Valentine's Day dance," Estrella explained.
Kirby then saw a shipment of food. As he was about to go after it, Paige stopped him. "Kirby" she scolded, "that's for the patrons of the school. Also, our mayor will be opening the dance."
"Mayor Louise Hess," Tania replied. "She does this every year to support her love for education."
"Will the Kirby Klue Queens report to the principal's office, and bring your gumball with you?" Principal Hopkins said on the intercom.
"Come on, Swinger," called Estrella as Swinger climbed onto her shoulder.

In her office, Principal Hopkins was horrified. "I never thought I say this, but I need your help," she begged.
"What happened?" Leah asked.
"Last night, someone stole my $500 necklace," Principal Hopkins explained. "My husband gave it to me when I first became principal at this school. I wore it to every school event. Tomorrow night is the big dance, and I need you to find the thief who stole it."
"Any clues?" Leah asked.
"Only one," Principal Hopkins answered as she showed a badge.
"This isn't just any badge," Tania said. "This is a famous Lee Heights High hall monitor badge. I've read about them in the school handbook."
"But didn't you go to Lee Heights High?" Leah asked.
"I did," Principal Hopkins answered, "and I'm afraid that a jealous student from the Hall Monitor team might be a suspect."
She got out a yearbook from the 1970s, where she showed the hall monitor team. "That's them, all right."
Grady Dalton
Serena Von Dusen
Fabio LaRozzi
Principal Hopkins gave them their latest addresses. Grady was in Downingsford, a town north of Lititz Heights; Serena was in Lancaster; and Fabio was in Ephrata. Tania and Leah decided to interview Grady, Paige and Rylie decided to interview Serena, and Estella and Kaylin decided to interview Fabio.

Outside, they didn't know how to get to the locations on time. Kirby summoned up 6 stars, which confused the girls. As they each got onto the stars, they started to float and take them to the suspect's exact whereabouts.

Outside Fabio's house, Estrella saw a traumatized Swinger. "Are you okay, Swinger?" Estrella asked her monkey. Unfortunately, he crossed his arms in jealousy of Kirby.
"Sounds like Swinger can't stand fast stars," Kaylin suggested.
Inside his apartment, Fabio explained that he remembered Lynda from high school and was good friends with her, meaning he wouldn't dare steal her stuff.

Meanwhile, in Lancaster, Paige and Rylie were at Serena's candy shop, Diamonds Drizzle. Unfortunately, Serena explained that she hated the color pink and preferred purple, which explained the decor inside her shop. "On the other hand," Serena said in a German accent, "I'd like you girls to have some candy on the house."
"Danke (Thank you)," Kaylin replied.

In Downingsford, Leah and Tania were in front of the jewelry shop, Monitor Moonstones. They were complimenting on the diamonds in the store.
"They're not like the expensive rose quartz of Madagascar," Grady replied. This made the 2 girls suspicious.
As they were talking, Tania found a note that said, "Saturday night, steal jewels at Lititz Heights High."

Outside, the 2 sisters needed a way to get back to their clubhouse. Kirby pressed Leah's star earrings and the stars on Tania's skirt. There a bunch of stars came out, and it took them back to their clubhouse. Leah told Kirby to find Estrella, Leah, Kaylin, and Paige and do the same thing to them.
Later, Leah and Tania were practicing their dance moves when the other girls showed up. "Any word?" Leah asked.
"No," Rylie answered.
"Well, I think where he might go next," Tania explained. "Our dance tomorrow night. We found a note that says, 'Saturday night, steal jewels at Lititz Heights High'."
"Now we know where the thief is going to strike next," Leah said.
At Kaylin's home, they got all dolled up for the Valentine's Day dance. "Poyo (You girls look pretty)," Kirby commented.
"We do look pretty, Kirby," Leah replied.
"And look at Swinger," Estella said as Swinger came in a sharp tux. He stuck his tongue out at Kirby.

Later, the girls arrived at the dance where they were greeted by Issac, Helen, and Martin. Also, they met up with Paige's twin brother, Peter, who had a valentine for Leah.
As they were dancing, they saw Grady sneaking around the gym, disguised as a photographer. Kaylin decided to take care of it from here. She got some strawberries, tossed them at Kirby, and then he turned into Cupid Kirby. He got out an arrow, took a direct hit at Grady, and made him go crazy. His disguise came off, which made Principal Hopkins shocked. Out of his pocket was her $500 necklace.
Just then, Chief Hess came in along with an elderly lady, it was his mother and the mayor of Lititz Heights, Louise Hess. "Excuse me, everyone," she said, "but what's going on here?"
"Well, Mayor," Paige said, "we just captured a jewel thief and an old acquaintance of Principal Hopkins: Grady Dalton."
"They went to school here and graduated in the same class," explained Tania. "Not only that, but they were also in our school's hall monitor team. Plus remember when we first ran into at the bookstore Sis, he said that not like the expensive rose quartzes of Madagascar."
"And let's not forget our first clue: the hall monitor badge Principal Hopkins found when she was robbed," Leah recalled. Principal Hopkins removed the arrow and asked why he took her necklace.
"My bills were overdue," Grady explained. "When I heard how valuable Lynda's rose quartz necklace was, I had my chance to pay them off."
"Then how do you explain your note?" Tania asked.
"I heard that every year at the Valentine's Day dance at Lititz Heights High, girls wear the most elaborate jewelry," Grady replied. "So maybe I can use their jewels to pay off future bills."
"Let me tell you something, Grady - you were the worst hall monitor we'd ever had," Principal Hopkins explained. "All you ever do is sleep and eat on the job while misbehaving students vandalize the school, run in the halls, and pull pranks on the teachers."
"Those are things that hall monitors never do," Chief Hess replied as he handcuffed and took Grady away.
"Anyway," Mayor Hess said, "now that my son has arrested Grady and has saved us all from a jewel heist, let's dance!"
In the end, they started to boogie while Kirby played the turntable.
