Episode 12	The Great Lemonade Stand Wars	Aired: September 18, 1992
At the (clubhouse?) Melody and the gang are playing "catch the diary" with Bon Bon's diary. Starlight tosses the diary to Melody, who tosses to Clover but Clover ends up backing into the book case, smashing the entire tea set. After a bit of arguing on who is to blame they realize they ALL are. Sweetheart suggests using Stick Forever glue to put the tea set back together but Starlight says the only way is to buy an entirely new tea set. They arrive at the shop and find a tea set they like but it's 200 jangles (which is apparently expensive so I'd have to say jangles equal dollars or at least half US dollars). After seeing they're short on enough money, the gang decide on a lemonade stand, which starts off selling quite well and makes Teddy and Ace jealous enough to consider making their OWN lemonade stand but Lancer disagrees, saying it was the girls' idea. Lancer always sides with the girls doesn't he? The trio go off to make their own lemonade but can't get the right taste and Lancer says his mom probably knows but Teddy isn't so sure. Ace decides to go for himself. Meanwhile, Bon Bon is in the forest and finds a jangle on the ground but Teddy claims it for himself, scaring Bon Bon in the process. Ace, acting more like a referee, decides that HE gets the jangle and orders Teddy to leave. Bon Bon is flattered that Ace wants to go bike riding with her. While riding in what looks like a park, Ace shows off some of his (dangerous) tricks to Bon Bon's delight. When they finish, Ace asks how Bon Bon makes her lemonade and when Ace hears what it is, he suddenly has to go do something. Back at the lemonade stands, the girls can't believe that the boys' lemonade is selling (well at 2 for the price of 1, how can it not?).   Bon Bon explains everything and the rest of the girls forgive her, then Starlight and Bright-Eyes discuss with the boys about their theft of the girls' lemonade recipe. Starlight declares war on Teddy, Ace and Lancer. Both groups sing about it while simultaneously bringing the same customers back-and-forth to each others' stands. When finished, the girls count their jangles but are still short. Lancer comes in, telling that he split way from Ace and Teddy and when asked to join their side, he agrees, giving them a recipe for iced tea, which ends up being a hit, even to Teddy but Ace knocks away Teddy's second glass of iced tea and the two of them argue over what happened with their lemonade stand.
