Lititz Heights, 10 years ago

Five-year-old Leah and Four-year-old Tania were both getting ready for bed. Leah went to her bookcase of fairytales, realizing that they read them a few times already. Lorraine came in while tying up her robe and said, "You girls looking for a bedtime story Lorraine opened the book."

In India, there was a young beautiful girl. Her father was the dean of the college she attended, majoring in literature and scriptwriting. During the costume party, she dressed as an angel. It was there she saw a handsome devil. He needed to get away from his over-controlling girlfriend. With a take of the hand, the Indian angel took him away from his horrible girlfriend and gave him a happy life.

That was until a few years later when her father was outraged by their love and kicked her boyfriend out of the school. All hope was not lost though; the devil made a vow to return to her one day and they'll be together forever.

Leah and Tania started to fall asleep. In the hallway, Lorraine could see her parents standing there.

"Did you tell the the story of your college best friend and her boyfriend?" Grandma Clarice asked.

"I did," Lorraine answered. "Sooner or later they'll know that the story is more than just a story."

"At least he's nothing compared to your ex," Grandpa Wendell growled, "who left you pregnant with Leah."

"I don't care if he left me," Lorraine declared to her father. "I won't let Leah make the same mistake my ex did."

Present Day

At the community center, Leah, Kaylin, Tania, and Paige were taking the Friendly Scouts of Lititz Heights were at a book lecture of a famous Indian author, Chandika Munshif.

"It's been 1 week since Father's Day," Kaylin replied. "I sent my father some fresh baked macadamia cookies in the mail, and a salmon soup recipe."

"As for me, dudettes," Paige said, "Peter and I like took Dad out to the movies. I bought the organic popcorn while he paid for tickets."

"I wonder what Rylie did for Father's Day?" asked Tania.

"She gave her father a bee throw pillow," answered Paige.

"I know you never met your real dad, Leah," Kaylin said to her friend, "but what do you know about him?"

"From what I know," Leah replied, "my dad had a really extreme father and he had a passion for dancing."

Tania started getting a little migraine. Her friends wondered what was wrong with her. "I kept having this recurring dream," she explained. "There is this guy, Raghu Bhave, who was about to win back to his love. But someone gave him a little drink, only to collapse.

"It's only a dream," Paige replied. "But we should be quiet now - the lecture is about to start."

Onstage came an Indian woman in college professor clothes. She started to tell everyone about the inspiration for her famous novel "Kiss Friendship." Everyone was fascinated by all the words that she spoke, including an elderly man in the corner. The man wore Indian apparel and was carrying a cane.

After the lecture, the old man came up and hugged Chandika. "Nicely done, Chandy," smiled the old man. "I finally get to see you do an American book lecture."

Leah, Kaylin, Tania, and Paige came up to congratulate Ms. Munshif, and they wondered who the man by her side was. "That's my father," Chandika explained. "He said that he has never been to America before and wants to see it for himself."

"It's not easy being a 95-year-old dean at Indira Gandhi National Open University," he said, "but it's all worth it."

"Indira Gandhi National Open University?" Leah asked. "Isn't that where Mom went to college?"

"Can this be?" asked Dean Munshif as he came up to Tania. As he was about to touch Tania's face, Ms. Munshif pulled him back. "My father can be a bit overprotective sometimes" she explained.

Later, they found Rylie and Estrella volunteering to put away some geographical books about India. Kirby wandered off and saw a DVD of "The Buddy Bird Shows' Beddy Bye Time." When he pulled the DVD, the bookcase moved, revealing a secret entrance. The Klue Queens were surprised by this. They walked down the staircase to see a beautiful garden.

"Look at all these flowers," Kaylin said. "They're pretty. I know some of them from my flower picking badge. Jasmines, orchis, marigolds, and lotuses."

"Wait a minute," Paige said. "These are all the flowers grown in India."

"They are," said a voice. It was Lorraine McBruce and accompanying Chandika Munshif.

"Mom!" Leah exclaimed. "And with Chandika Munshif!"

"Leah, Tania," Ms. McBruce replied, "it's not what it looks like."

"What is going on here?" asked Paige. "How do you know about this secret garden and Chandika Munshif?"

"That's because Chandika Munshif is Tania's real mother," Lorraine answered.

Everyone was amazed by this, especially Tania. "I don't believe this," she said in horror. "My favorite author is my mother. I knew I had my high IQ somewhere, but not to you nor Grandma and Grandpa, and frankly - and especially - not Uncle Wayne. Plus, I never met my adoptive father."

"Then you should probably know about your *real* father, Raghu Bhave."

Ms. Munshif explained that Raghu was trying to get away from his girlfriend, Zohana Randhawa, when he saw her at the costume party. It was there they fell madly in love with each other, but it all ended when her father kicked him out for impregnating her with their daughter.

That was when Tania realized something. *Just like in my dream*, she thought to herself, *only this is real*.

"Wait a minute," Leah said. "That sounded like the story you told me and Tania when we were kids, about the Indian Angel."

"That's right," replied Chandika. "I was the Indian Angel."

"But what happened to Raghu?" asked Kaylin.

"He died at sea," Ms. Munshif explained tearfully. "He had a drink and died from poisoning from it."

"I don't think he killed himself at sea," Leah said. "I think he was killed."

"This better not be like that false murder by Mr. Harmon," Ms. McBruce replied. "That's illegal."

"Maybe we should find out who killed Raghu and bring him/her to justice," Leah suggested.

On the road, they found a delivery truck with a bunch of Indian guards. They spotted Chandika in her car and blocked her. Also in the car was Ms. McBruce, whom they forced out of the car.

Little did they know was that the Klue Queens were watching them from the Warp Stars. Tania got out a leftover turkey sandwich from the free lunch. "Kirby," she shouted Tania, "suck it up!"

With a gulp of the turkey, he turned into Crash Kirby. He exploded, but no one got hurt. Leah and Tania quickly picked up Ms. McBruce and Ms. Munshif and took off into the day.
