## Story

In the Plaid Troop carriage, Lance horrified because their invasion plan involving to going through the ‘rumored’ haunted forest - then Leland said that Lance won't be going in there but for another ‘special’ task: make sure there’s no reinforcement incoming by attacking the Pastel guards barrack first. Why? because according to Leland, Jack the Pastel King has been spoiled by decades of peace which make him did not feel the need to have any guards protecting the interior of Pastel palace - especially due to the rule “*shielding Pastel princesses from anyone’s eyes*”. There’s only 2 guards posted outside the palace in shifts, making it so easy to infiltrate (by clearing out the perimeter) with making sure there's no guards that protecting the Pastel palace.

Back at the CPC, Frederick is horrified with the huge amount of soldiers - while Curtis and Whitney approach Freddie and Prez. Frederick exclaimed that what they need to do is stop the army from getting to the Pastel palace, but immediately stopped by Prez saying that’s the worst course of action (it’s impossible to do with that huge amount of army). The only option is for them is to follow the troop unnoticed while waiting for the right moment to attack. Before they go, Prez sends Monika away to go into the town so Saffron and Syrah (in episode 148, they’ll buy drinks replacement that got crashed down after the cork incident), so they could find a way to sneak up and meet up towards the top of the hill. Prez also declared that since it seems the soldiers didn’t seem interested in their forest, now it’s the time to make a dash for the CPC’s house for safety. After that, Prez tells the other princesses (Renée, Thermidora, Bernadette and an unnamed one so far) to go back to the club now that the path is clear and to stay safe. The girls protest because they want to help them and Gwen, but Prez points out that the self-defense lessons won't be much useful because they'll be facing an army of soldiers trained to kill and order them to go back. The last two panels are the girls looking dejected saying "*okay, we will...*" then "*NOT*" with a mischievous smile as they sneakily follow Curtis, Prez, Frederick and Whitney. Prez wondering how they're could follow up the soldiers unnoticed, then Frederick gives the solution by claiming it's his area of expertise - they are just need to grab some shrubs then following Frederick's lead.

Back at Lance, Leland ordering him to prevent reinforcement guards by attacking the barrack as he recalling that Pastel King's been spoiled by decades of peace which makes no guards protecting the interior of the palace, only 2 guards keeps posted outside - due to the rule "shielding his daughters from the guard's eyes". In the middle of the barrack, a pair of guards playing poker while wondering which stonger than a straight pflush (the answer is "a royal flush"). At the same time, the captain of Pastel guards asks Horace Fais to give him a status report before back to the night shift. Horace reporting that nothing's unusual except the time a prince came by to said there's a serious emergency incoming and the guards won't be able to stop it, but Beckett shooed him away. The captain surprised about that, then asking Horace to come along with him to give Beckett 'a talk' to treat warnings seriously before it's too late-but the barrack already attacked by the Plaid soldiers that capturing all soldiers in the barrack at the bottom of the hill.

At the CPC, some of the members 'disobeying Prez' oders' by not hiding for safety, but instead making preparations to form 'a haunting monster'. Jolie asks Nell to hides in safety instead going together with her and others 'to obvious danger'. Nell assuring that she's got good feeling that CPC could bite off a chunk of the soldiers tail - but at the same time, she suddenly got a vision of premonition. CPC members panick about that and telling her to takes easy while asking what she sees which got no answer. Instead, Nell tiptoeing to the giant tent and pushing it and muttering that should do it - while she's lay down.

At the town (likely Pastel plaza), Saffron and Syrah chatting over - when suddenly they're crashed out with the Princels after doing a pub crawl. Monika as a crow approaching Saffron and Syrah but surprised when realizing that she's meet Orson, which still heartbroken over the misunderstanding at the gala. The fights between the Princels minus Orson VS Saffron and Syrah over standing up to their friend leads to Monika getting a panic attack that prevents her to back to her human form. Orson the first one that realizing that Monika meants to telling something by pointing out somewhere using one of her wing, and to help her calm down - he asks everyone to stop the talk fight and offering his hands while recounting their favorite story (Turtles of the Round Table) arc which turns out help Monika to calm down back to her human form. Monika thanks Orson and praising that what he did was really cool. Syrah asks Monika about what she means to tell, so Monika pointing Gwen's palace that got invaded (by the Plaid) and it revealed what's Frederick warns before is right. Saffron readying to hurry but got stopped by the ear princel that interested with "taking down the Plaid princes, as in Blaine". Blaine shown to tiptoeing the Pastel palace while looks in envy how Maria chatting cheerfully with Beckett. Meanwhile at the haunted forest, Suzanna realizing that she's headed to the Pastel palace and terrified that together with the Plaid army gonna doing something malicious - then suddenly, "a towering hag" which CPC creates put a halt to the soldiers way!
