The Naboo Palace was currently empty of its royal family, as they had already headed over to the Naberrie home for the Valentine's Day gathering they were having, when Mace and Strawberry Sundae arrived, looking for them!
"Anakin! Carmine! Gabriella! Anyone?!" Mace exclaimed.
Strawberry looked around. Neither the Skywalkers nor the Jinns appeared to be home. Not even the Bad Batch or any of the horses were home.
"I don't think they're home." Strawberry said.
Mace decided to ask one of the guards if they knew where the royal family was, and made sure to mention that it was an emergency.
"They've gone to the Naberrie house for a gathering." said the guard.
"Then that's where we'll go." Strawberry said, and she let Mace onto her back so they could make their way to the Naberrie home.
Meanwhile, things were going fine at the Naberrie Valentine Party.
There were lots of sweet refreshments, which Wrecker and the horses didn't hesitate to dig into.
"Wrecker, slow down!" Padme said, seeing Wrecker hogging more brownies. "You'll give yourself a tummy ache."
"But these are so good." Wrecker said, devouring another one.
"I don't know who's a messier eater," said Boba. "Wrecker or Dad."
Even the Heartwoods joined in the festivities. Goldie had not been to a lot of parties, and she was so happy to get a glimpse of the Naberries' lovely home by the lake. The Skywalker kids' maternal grandparents found her just adorable.
And Gabby wasted no time doing her favorite Valentine's Day tradition. Going around and hugging everyone. Although, she did that every day. But what made it different in this case was wishing everyone Happy Valentine's Day.
Tech couldn't stop smiling as he held the finished ring in his hands.
"It's so beautiful." Sola said. "Whoever she is, she's one lucky girl."
"I hope she believes she is." Tech said.
"What's her name?"
"Milagro. I call her Mila. Everyone does."
"She sounds lovely."
"Oh, she is. Inside and out. A perfect combination of brains and beauty. It's as though there is nothing she cannot do."
While the grownups were talking, the younger kids went outside to play in the yard with Diamond and the other horses.
"I got the ball!" Lamenta called, throwing it to Pooja.
But while the kids were playing, something musically magical was going about on Naboo.
And then Gabby was calling for the ball to be thrown to her.
"I'm open!" Gabby called, waving her arms, when she suddenly heard a song.
Can you feel the love tonight?
Soon it's where you'll be
When you hear my rock song of love
You'll love the next you see
And suddenly, Gabby felt an odd sensation running through her body as she was under a spell. Inconveniently, Hunter and Crosshair came out to tell the girls that their parents wanted them to come inside for a family game.
Gabby saw Hunter before she saw anyone else, and her eyes were shaped like hearts. So were all the other girls' with the exception of Goldie.
"Anything for you, Hunter." Gabby sighed dreamily.
The other kids, however, found that odd. But they went inside, and Gabby stayed right by Hunter's side, hugging his leg.
"You never stop hugging, do you?" Hunter chuckled, walking in, Gabby still clinging to him.
But then, Ryoo was clinging to Hunter's other side, which the clone found weird. And then Crosshair was practically tackled by Lamenta, Ryoo, and Diamond.
"What's gotten into the girls?" Carmine wondered out loud.
"Hunter and Crosshair appear popular with the littlest ladies, don't they?" Qui-Gon joked.
"Maybe too popular!" Hunter spat as Ryoo started kissing him until Gabby pushed her off.
"Back off, girly! He's my Prince Charming." Gabby fluttered her eyelashes at Hunter. "Right, Hunty Bear?"
"Nope. Something's wrong here." Hunter said, trying to stop both girls from kissing him.
Susy started grabbing Lamenta and trying to get her off Crosshair as she was kissing him a bunch.
"Lamenta! Release! Kisses are not for torturing." She said, managing to pull her granddaughter off the clone.
The grownups all started grabbing whichever of the girls had been groping Hunter and/or Crosshair.
"Is this normal for Valentine's?" Omega asked, looking at Gabby's eyes, as they were filled with pink hearts.
"I don't think so. I'm not sure this is even normal for Enchanteds." Anakin said, looking on his phone to see if there was any cause for the girls' behavior.
"Goldie, did you see or hear anything odd outside that might've caused this?" Mariposa asked her daughter.
Goldie thought, and then recalled she heard someone singing a song just before all this happened, and then Hunter and Crosshair were the first people the other girls looked at just before they went all lovey-dovey.
"It must have been a love spell that caused this." Mariposa said.
"But if Goldie heard it, why didn't it affect her?" Omega pointed out.
"That's a good question."
Just then, a knock came at the door, and a familiar voice too.
"Anakin! It's Mace! Open up! Emergency."
Anakin got up from his seat, holding onto Gabby, who objected to being taken away from her sweet Hunter.
"I'll be back, my love!" Gabby called out.
Anakin answered the door and found a distressed Mace outside it. But then he also realized his clava-detector was glowing.
"Don't tell me this is about-" Anakin said.
"Myra's been clavatized!" Mace said.
"It wouldn't happen to be something to do with making people fall in love, would it?" Anakin held Gabby up, showing her eyes were shaped like hearts.
"Oh no, she got to Gabriella?!"
"And Lamenta, Diamond, and Padme's nieces."
"So, Goldie wasn't affected because she's half-doresho?" asked Boba.
"Exactly. If whoever cast this spell was a clavatized villain, then they are using doresho magic, and Goldie is immune to it because doresho magic can only affect other beings. We cannot cast spells on ourselves. Aside from defense spells."
Mariposa looked into one of Garrett's books and found something about love potions in it. She grabbed a spray bottle filled with water and sprayed Gabby's little face with it.
Gabby shook her head and wiped her face as she felt another weird feeling.
"What just happened?" Gabby asked, looking around. "And when did I come inside?"
"Just as I thought." Mariposa said.
According to Mariposa, back when her mother was training her three daughters to change to dark magic and target Solaris and the other kingdoms, she learned that a lot of their spells could be easily broken by spraying water in a victim's face. Transmission of magic into various objects... that was the spell that took a little more effort to break.
"Force love spells through transmitted magic are one of the easiest enchantments to break. Just a little water in the face will turn them back to normal."
And she sprayed the other girls who'd been spelled.
"I'd better let Master Mundi know about this right away." said Mace. "Hopefully Brenda hasn't escaped the Temple to catch whoever she was spelled to love."
"How did Myra end up clavatized, anyway?" Boba asked.
Mace looked a bit embarrassed as he pulled out the box he'd presented to Brenda earlier.
"I might've proposed to Brenda, and then Myra got angry."
"You were proposing?" Padme gasped.
"But that sounds like it should've been wonderful." Caroline said.
"It should've been." Mace continued. "Only, Myra didn't take it that well."
"Did you at least see what the mariclava landed on?" Kara asked.
"It landed on her guitar." Mace said. "She was making music just before her emotional breakdown."
"Then it looks like we've got a heartbreaker to break."
All royal family members began putting together a plan.
"We already know that Goldie and Mariposa are immune to the effects." said Kara.
"But if anyone sees Mariposa," said Estrella. "They'll panic as soon as they realize she's a doresho gypsy."
"Which is why no one will see her." Kara said. "It's pure and simple. Mariposa will hold onto Lamenta, who will turn invisible while touching her, thus making both of them invisible."
"I don't think that would work." Omega said.
Omega strategized that although the plan sounded easy, if they did that, there was a chance that it could go wrong.
Lamenta could sneeze and accidentally turn both of them visible, thus exposing the Doresho gypsy. Or, while Rock Heartbreaker doesn't see them, she could either crash into them, or sing her song and make Lamenta fall in love, which would lead her to turning Mariposa visible again.
"Okay, then what else can we do?" Boba asked.
"Well, let's think this through." Gabby said.
"We'll go out and see if we can find Rock Heartbreaker." said Sapphire.
"Kara and I will accompany you." Qui-Gon said. "Boba, Carmine, you come too."
"Use that ear-plugging spell too." Gabby said. "She won't be able to spell you if you don't hear her song."
"Good idea." said Carmine. "Let's go!"
So, while Qui-Gon, Boba, Carmine, and Kara went with the horses to search for Rock Heartbreaker and warn everyone they could, the rest of the royal family listed down everything they knew about Rock Heartbreaker.
They knew her song made anyone who heard it fall in love with the first person they saw, and the spell could be broken by spraying water in the face. But, they also knew Rock Heartbreaker could probably do more than make people fall in love by playing her music. And Mace confirmed that she definitely could be destructive.
Qui-Gon, Carmine, Boba, and Kara turned to fairy form and got a bird's eye view on the kingdom. Of course, they remembered to cast the spell on their ears so they wouldn't be able to hear the love song if Rock Heartbreaker tried to hex them.
As expected, there were definitely a lot of victims of Rock Heartbreaker's love song, as well as damaged buildings no doubt caused by loud soundwaves.
"She must've come this way." Boba said, though his aunt and grandfather couldn't hear him.
Qui-Gon tapped Boba's shoulder and signed for him and Kara to start splashing water on as many victims as they could while he and Carmine continued the search for Rock Heartbreaker.
Carmine and Qui-Gon noticed the victims and destruction seemed to follow a particular path. One that led to...
"Uh oh!" Kara gasped. "That's towards the palace!"
The guys didn't need to be able to hear Kara to know that this definitely wasn't good!
Meanwhile, Rock Heartbreaker was in the middle of making all the guards she came across fall in love as she entered the Naboo Palace.
"Remember your end of the deal, my dear." Mariverde said.
"Don't worry, Mariverde. The family's not home. All I gotta do is find the jewels."
And that was when Rock Heartbreaker spotted a guard.
Bingo!
Can you feel the love tonight?
Soon it's where you'll be
When you hear my rock song of love
You'll fall in love with me
And upon hearing Rock Heartbreaker's song, the guard fell madly in love with the villain and he was kissing her hand, appearing head over heels with her.
"Alright, my puppet," said Rock Heartbreaker. "You love me? Take me to the Crown Jewels of Solaris."
"Anything for you, my love." said the guard.
