Introductions

The regular stories

When the Holograms are scheduled to play at the Sea Blaze Marina (an ocean theme park), the Misfits have Zipper 'sink' the concert and the Holograms must rises to the occasion.

On the day of a Jem and the Holograms look-a-like contest, a young girl accidentally drops her ticket into a street mailbox. Can anyone help the poor girl out?

Rio and Jerrica meet a young girl who ran away from her orphanage after being accused of stealing and she tells them that she didn't want to get her friend (who she says did the stealing) in trouble.  However, when she goes to Starlight Mansion and run away when concert tickets go missing, everyone wants to know if she is truly a thief?

The Holograms home is 'accidentally' set on fire (a botched up robbery by Zipper). The Holograms hold a concert to raise funds to repair their home, The Misfits, jealous of the media attention,  scheme to wreck the concert.

(6 - It's a nice episodic feel, but also short. Jerrica's dream at the beginning of the story is very interesting but is not mentioned again in the story.)

Gold Gets Going

The Holograms go to South America to film the Glitter N' Gold Video.

(10 - It's a perfect episodic feel. The Glitter N' Gold Roadster's origin is butchered, but this is the only story that is good and full enough to be considered an episode.)

The comic book style stories

The Holograms find a mysterious young girl in their van and decide to take care of her. Is this girl an unfortunate orphan or a part of The Misfits latest scheme.

(4 - It's a nice episodic feel, but also short.)

During a major Holograms concert, The Misfits show up and cause trouble which lands (or in this case, rises) Jem into trouble.

(3 - It's okay, but also short.)
