Ronnie Anne walks to find her mom and sees her brushing her teeth.
"Ronalda! Is something the matter, mija?" Maria stops brushing her teeth long enough to look at Ronnie Anne.
"I was wondering…could we move back to Royal Woods?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"My job hasn't been going as well as I had hoped in Great Lakes City, and I am getting tired of the hustle and bustle, and the constant bonding time with my family, so I think that can be arranged. I already told your grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins about the potential move days ago. I had been thinking about moving back to Royal Woods since my job hadn't been going well, so I'll start looking for a new house and job there as soon as possible." Maria says.
"Thank God, now I can spend more time with Luke, and Bobby can finally go to his girlfriend's place instead of making all those annoying phone calls." Ronnie Anne says. Maria smiles at Ronnie Anne.
Luke was lying awake in the room he shares with Lincoln, Rusty, and Clyde. Despite having a bed to himself, Luke couldn't sleep.
"What's on your mind, Luke?" Lincoln asked Luke, sitting on the bed.
"A lot…" Luke says.
"Do you want to tell me about it? It might make you feel better." Lincoln says.
"Fine, Oliver and the others leaving me was a big blow to my confidence." Luke says.
"Ouch. I really felt bad for you. It's like when my friends left me because I tried to change Lisa." Lincoln says.
"I just thought they supported me, you know?" Luke says. "I thought that they would have supported me and been on my side during this Hitmaker thing. But I saw I was wrong."
Lucy sighed in her room with Rocky and Haiku.
"I think I screwed up. Luke didn't even look at me, and I really don't know how to make things right with him." Lucy says as Haiku looks at her.
"He's under a lot of stress right now, Lucy. He's up against lots of different people in the show, he's dealing with his ex-friends ditching him for Oliver, and some other things that only he has going on in his mind." Haiku says. "It's got nothing to do with you personally. Besides, you're being way too insecure again."
"Yeah, I'm sure Luke still loves you." Rocky says, blushing a bit.
"Yeah, you're right." Lucy says.
"Luna, you did amazing out there. We can't wait to see you perform again." Sam says as Brandy nods
"I know. I'm worried about Luke, though." Luna says.
"He'll get through it after all, he has you." Sam says.
Luna smiles at that and hugs Sam and Brandy.
In the room with Lincoln, Rusty, and Clyde the next morning, Luke was eating breakfast and talking about the show.
"So, where is the next episode taking place?" Clyde asked.
"According to the internet, it's in New Jersey." Rusty says.
"Why are we relying on the internet again?" Lincoln asked
"It's fun to see if it's true or not." Rusty says
"Yeah, we're just going to ask Doug." Lincoln says.
"But…" Rusty says.
"Sorry, we're asking Doug." Luke says
"But, the internet leaks…" Rusty says
"Rusty, are you reading false information again? So help me, I'll slap that fake beard off." Stella says from a different room.
"Fine, you guys are no fun." Rusty says.
The group goes to ask Doug.
"Oh, it's going to be in Tennessee." Doug says with a smile. "You weren't going to use internet leaks, were you?" He asked as everyone snickered. Rusty pouted.
Lisa cracked her knuckles and brought out some tools to work on stuff when Leni came in. "Mom said for you to stop." Leni says
"But science is my life!" Lisa says as Leni facepalms before smiling. "We have time before we have to leave tomorrow, so let's go around New York. We could go ice skating." Leni says as Lisa thinks about it.
Bobby came to Lori. "Babe! Great news! After all of this, we're moving back to Royal Woods." Bobby says.
"Really?! This is literally amazing!" Lori squealed
" It's literally the worst." Luan groaned, walking off, not wanting Bobby back.
"No pranks. You're banned from doing so." Charity tells Luan.
"It's not that. When Bobby left, Lori was sort of doing better as a sister. She had more time for us and she hung out with us. Now she's just going to be the girl who just appears for a bit." Luan says as Lynn nodded, looking down.
"Lori is about to go to college this fall. Once she's in college, she'll have time for other things. When she comes to visit, she'll come and spend time with you. Right now, this news has made her happy. And remember, these next few weeks aren't about you." Charity says.
"Where is Luke?" Lynn asked.
"Spending time with Lincoln, Clyde, and Rusty." Charity says. "They're going to Toys 'R' Us and Central Park."
Meanwhile, Tina sighed as her parents were making her rehearse instead of having fun. She hated how greedy they were. This was the only time they ever called her by her actual name. She felt used like a puppet for money. She was too afraid to tell them she was autistic because she would be thrown aside.
With Luke and the boys, they were at the toy store. Lincoln had gotten an Ace Savvy figure, Clyde got another Easy-Bake oven to add to his cooking station back in Royal Woods, and Rusty got a new skateboard. Luke was looking for something for himself and a birthday gift for Tina.
Luke soon found a Starship Groupers spaceship for himself. He then looks for Tina's perfect birthday present.
He sees a knitting book that she did want, but never got.
"Perfect!" Luke says.
Lisa was holding on to Leni's legs when they got on the ice.
"Whoa, Whoa, Lisa!" Leni says, slipping. Lisa closed her eyes bracing for impact as Leni slipped and fell on the ice.
A bunch of people see this and skate over to Leni and Lisa. "Is she ok?" One man asked as Lisa looked down and checked on her.
Lisa nodded. "She's okay."
Leni gets up holding her head "Ow…" Leni says as she and Lisa were helped off the ice.
"Sorry." Lisa says.
"It's okay that you still can't skate." Leni says.
Later that day, Luna wanted to get the other siblings together for dinner and tried calling Lincoln first.
"Hey, Lunes, what's up?" Lincoln asked.
"Get the others ready for dinner and don't forget Luke." Luna says.
"Will do! See you in a bit!" Lincoln says as he hangs up and takes Luke with him as he goes to find the others.
Lucy was walking around and saw Oliver. She hissed, planning on attacking him.
Charity put a stop to that immediately by telling Lucy not to do anything of the sort or her poetry supplies would be locked up for the rest of the trip.
"But, he hurt my brother's feelings." Lucy says.
"I understand that, but you can't just hurt people." Charity says. "Luke will deal with that issue when he's ready. Don't do it for him."
"Sigh." Lucy says.
Luke soon joins everyone for dinner that night. He sits at the table and is very quiet.
Angry Luigi was eating a burger.
"You ok?" Sam asked Luke.
Luke shakes his head as he eats his grilled chicken salad.
Luna felt bad for Luke as she ate her burger.
"Okay, we need to head to bed early so we don't miss the bus." Sam says
"Okay." Luke says, not paying attention as he was focused on other things.
"Oh, I made you some new costumes." Leni says to Luke.
"I absolutely love them!" Luke says, smiling at the new costumes.
Meanwhile, Oliver was having dinner with his mom, dad, and siblings.
"What is the plan for your next routine? The show IS going to be in Tennessee, at the Grand Ole Opry. That place is a legendary venue to perform at." Ellen says to her son.
Oliver thinks as he gets stressed. "I DON'T KNOW!" Oliver shouts.
"Take your time." Ellen says.
Alem tuber and his pals were finished with their adventure.
"I miss Lynn. I wonder where she could be." He asked Alex.
"I'll give ya one guess. New York. After all, that's where Luke was performing, and Charity would make all the kids have to support Luke." Jack says.
"Okay, boys, we're heading to New York City." Alem tuber says.
"Cowabunga!" Reily says randomly as everyone looks at him.
Luke finished eating and headed up to the room where he saw Clyde, Rusty, and Lincoln watching the Starship Groupers movie.
"Hey, Luke, wanna join us?" Lincoln asked.
Luke puts on his pajamas and joins the boys.
In Tina's room, she was alone as her parents had gone to dinner in the hotel restaurant. She laid on the bed in her separate suite and cried herself to sleep. She thought about the show. She wanted to tell her parents that she wasn't going to do it for them. She was sick of being used by them and she was sick of helping them live their dreams of being multimillionaires.
Tina then got a thought. "What if I ran away? Then I wouldn't have to keep listening to them. I could do the show in the way I want instead of theirs." She thought.
Tina begins an escape plan, but gives her parents a note, saying that there was a business meeting with 1 billion dollars at stake in Montreal so they couldn't follow her. She had also reported them to the Montreal police.
The next day, she sees her parents leaving with a doll version of her as they drive off.
"I'm free!" Tina says in shock that they actually fell for it but it then dawned on her. "Where would I even stay?"
She decided to pack up and put her things on the bus.
Meanwhile, the Siblings, mainly Lincoln, were helping each other out with their things. Luke had already loaded his things and was on the bus alone. He sees Oliver's friends on another tour bus as he looks at it, hissing.
"How come he gets friends, but not me?" Luke says, tearing up. "It isn't fair!"
He sobbed while Lincoln and Clyde helped with the girls' stuff.
"Thanks, Lincoln." Leni says
"No problem " Lincoln says as they go on and see Luke crying.
"Luke, what's wrong?" Lori asked.
"THEY'RE JERKS!" Luke sobbed. "THEY'RE ALL JERKS!"
The siblings hug Luke.
"Hey, I'll go teach them a lesson right now." Lynn says, cracking her knuckles.
She stepped onto Oliver's bus and stood in the doorway.
"Hello, jerks, I have a message from Luke." Lynn says, cracking her knuckles.
"You wanna go against a magic user? You know I trained with Luke, so I'd win." Oliver says.
"Yeah, it's all of us against you!" Gemma says before Alem tuber punches the door down.
"Hey what's going on here?!" He asked as Oliver looked annoyed
"Not him…." Oliver says as Alem tuber walks up " You try and hit my big sis again, I'll make you regret it!" Alem tuber says before giving Remy a wedgie and leaving.
Lynn gave Oliver one big punch to the nose before running off.
"Now that's what I call payback." Lynn says and looked around as Alem tuber vanished
"Randy?" Lynn thought, but her thoughts were interrupted by Stella.
"Lynn, our bus is going to leave soon, so you need to get on it now!" Stella says.
"Coming!" Lynn says and gets on.
Soon, the bus takes off as everyone started asking Lynn questions.
"Did you punch him in the face?" Lucy asked.
"You know it!" Lynn said as Leni gasped.
"Why would you do that?" She asked.
"He deserved it." Haiku says.
"Darn right!" Rusty says.
"Aw man….I wanted to punch him in the face!" Ronnie Anne says, sitting next to Luke.
"You'll get your chance soon, R.A., very soon." Lincoln says.
"Tennessee, here we come!" Luke says.
Ronnie Anne kissed him.
"Hey, after all this is over, I'm moving back to Royal Woods so we can be closer." Ronnie Anne says.
Luke squealed and kissed Ronnie Anne back.
(A/N: After this scene below, Tina's parents will be nothing more than an afterthought. The parents' names are Allison and Patrick.)
With Tina's parents, the Montreal police force was there, waiting on them.
"What the?" Patrick asked.
"What's going on?" Allison asked.
"You're under arrest!" One officer said.
"What for?" Patrick asked.
"Child neglect, child abuse, fraud, and many other things!" The second officer explained as he slapped handcuffs on the parents. They were soon taken away to a high-security prison, where they would never be seen again.
A/N- Angry9guy: Justice got served and that was just a breather chapter. Next time will have Luke going for his second round. As for Randy you all didn't expect him to return, did you? Well, he was back then left like he usually did. Anyway, we've gone through so many bonds, I wanted to list my healthiest bonds from this and the most toxic ones.
The most Healthy relationship would totally go to Luke and Lucy. While they may have arguments, it's really not targeted at Lucy, and Luke was just venting. These two have a healthy relationship as Lucy is willing to give her birthday to Luke so he can celebrate a 3rd time. She knows pretty much everything about Luke and cares for him deeply. We haven't even gotten into how she saved Luke and reunited him with his mom. Luke was able to help Lucy see things in a better light and was worried that she may have died and Lucy really can't stand the fact of losing Luke. These two depend on each other and it's sweet.
The 2nd healthiest relationship would have to go to Luke and Luna. They have a lot in common as they both love music and really seem to care for each other. Luna, however, did keep the fact that she was going to be on the same show a secret from him, but Luke was quick to forgive Luna and it's rare for Luke to just accept and forgive someone on the spot.
The 3rd most would have to go to Luna and Brandy. Honestly, Luna loves Brandy like a son/brother and Brandy loves her, too. However, there was one major flaw, and that's when Brandy and Randy were nearly killed. Luna ignores this for a few months, but she does find Brandy and things are back to normal.
3rd most toxic would go to Tina and her parents. They've used Tina for money on multiple occasions and only remembered her name. Tina wasn't happy and finally got them arrested.
2nd most toxic would have to go to the rivalry between Randy and Luke. At first, they were cool, and that was until they both entered Audition. They got very bitter towards each other as Luke wanted Randy dead. What saves this from number one is that Randy never really held any ill will towards Luke. That was just his competitive nature speaking, not really Randy.
Number 1 has to go to Luke and his ex-friends. They often leave Luke behind for fun stuff and usually forget him. That was before they left him for Oliver, and yes, Oliver was also entering America's Next Hitmaker. At this point in time, they don't seem to want to try and clear things up with Luke.
Crumbelina's Sweet Admirer: I'll name my healthiest and most toxic relationships.
The healthiest relationship for me would have to be between Luke and Luna. Why? Because Luna would do anything to make sure Luke is safe. She loves the fact that he's into music, just like she is, and is happy to see that Luke is doing what he loves. If Luke was ever hurt or threatened in any way, she would come to his aid at a moment's notice. She'd also drop any plans she has to stay with him if he needs company.
The most toxic relationship for me is Luke and his ex-friends. Why? Because they never wanted to be friends with Luke. They always left him out whenever they went and did anything fun, like going to the arcade or going to a theme park. They would also forget his birthdays from time to time and never come around to celebrate.
