On November 12th, the Trillion triplets were inviting Luke and all his family members to a festival.

Luke was now 17 and a senior in high school.

Oliver was also a senior in high school, but was still married to Chalice. He was excited because he would be the same age as his wife, come December 15th.

A lot of things had changed in the Huntington family over the course of a year. Tina still lived with Charity's siblings and their kids, Leni moved back in on the condition that she show Luke a bit more respect, Lynn was at a boarding school in New York, and Lola was at a finishing school in Michigan to work on manners and respect. The family still lived in San Antonio, where Charity was elected mayor just recently. She ran the city with authority and dignity and did anything to protect her family.

Lori graduated from Fairway University with honors. The family celebrated with her that summer in Michigan, then Oliver hosted a graduation party for her at Inkwell Castle, where many friends and family members were in attendance. Bobby proposed to her then, and Lori has never been happier.

Luna still liked Brandy and would visit often.

Lincoln hadn't changed much, but treated Luke with respect.

Lucy was still the goth, but stopped going to Mortician Club meetings and showed her eyes more as her hair was cut short enough. She didn't wear as much black, adding white, dark purple, navy blue, and other colors that had a dark tint to them to her wardrobe. She still considers Haiku her best friend.

Lana cleaned up and did less dirty things, but is still an animal lover and she still has Hops.

Luan was less prank-happy and now focuses on cooking, baking, Funny Business, and making her family happy.

Lisa didn't change much, but was actually more open to rapping and breakdancing. She still did science stuff from time to time, but didn't spend so much time on it, unlike before, where she spent several days in her room. She friendzoned Darcy and is now with Beau Yates. Darcy took the breakup hard for two days, and then she decided that she'd just be friends with Lisa.

Lily was into art, music, dancing, and some other things. She is 4 years old now.

Luke and Oliver are cheerleaders at The Winston School and take their captain roles seriously. They also get good grades.

Luke is looking for a lover since things with Zee got a little heated over the summer, and not in a good way. It ended harshly and Luke was depressed for weeks. It still hurts him today.

Griffin was 3 now and grew to like soccer, music, reading, swimming, dancing, and ice cream. He also loved dogs.


The triplets were decorating for their festival, specifically on the day of a certain anniversary.

Luke watches them decorate.

"This will show those cosmic losers…" Troy laughed.


Meanwhile, Savannah was excited. This was the day the cosmic buddies became heroes.

Luna and Sam organized a small party, but not too big as Luke would be jealous.

The festival started two hours later and it was indeed a grand event. It kicked off with a parade, and now everyone was riding the rides and enjoying the food.

Troy smiled. "Step 2, make the cosmic buddies come here and we shame them." Troy says.

Luke grins at this.

"By throwing tomatoes at them." Tristan says.

Luke is grinning even more.

"And showing all their embarrassing losses." Trey says.

"Wait, how do we get them here?" Tristan asked.

"Leave that to me." Luke says.


Luna shows the cosmic buddies their party.

"Woah!" Angry Luigi says.

"I remember this image when we kicked some bad guy butt, and also caused lots of damage." Alem tuber says.

"Let's rock!" Luna says while playing music. Suddenly, Luke arrived.

"Hi Luke" Angry Luigi waves.

"Welcome, you're just in time." Bill says.

Savannah offers Luke some punch, which he drinks. He then grins at the guests of honor.

"What if I told you there was a bigger and more elaborate party for you all?" Luke asked.

"You're making a trap…." Bill says to Luke

"Party?! We're in!" Delta says as Bill facepalmed.


They soon arrived as Bill looked worried.

They were soon in an arena as there were a lot of people.

One of them tossed a tomato as Savannah was confused.

Luna looked worried, especially when one tossed trash at Emma.

This got Alem tuber mad. He leaped towards the triplets and punched Troy in the face. Everyone gasped at this action as Angry Luigi whacked Tristan with a mallet.

"Luke!" Chrissy says.

"You tricked us…" Emila says as Emma sniffed.

"You're ruining our festival!" Troy says to Alem tuber.

Luke now regrets everything and runs off. Being told off was one of his weaknesses.

Emila used magic on Luke. "You wanted us dead, didn't you?"

Emma was still crying.

"Execute them!" Troy says as the cosmic buddies let Luke go and begin to beat the triplets up.

Lucy comforts Luke. "Just don't do it again. I love you." Lucy says.


The cosmic buddies smiled, heading back to their party as their parents were proud. Sam even organized a parade.

"Two parades for us this month." Alem tuber bragged.

Angry Luigi sees Luna's gift and opens it. He saw a new Luigi keychain and smiled.

Sam soon brings out a Mario Kart cake, which made the cosmic buddies happy.


On Thanksgiving, Luke was alone in his room.

"Autumn is coming." Lori says. Luke looks at Lori.

Luke loves his aunt Autumn and uncle Colton as they're always nice to him. He also looks forward to seeing Charlotte and Nicholas, knowing Nicholas is bringing white chocolate chip muffins, his favorite.

"Luke?" Leni asked, concerned.

"Yes, Leni?" Luke asked.

"You okay?" Leni asked.

"I still hurt inside." Luke says.

"Maybe when you perform with Oliver and Chalice in the parade later, you'll feel a little better." Leni says.

Luke smiles at this. He nearly forgot about the opportunity to be in the San Antonio Thanksgiving parade on the San Antonio Riverwalk float, where he, Oliver, and Chalice would be performing one of their new songs. Luke went to get changed for the parade.

Meanwhile, Alem tuber smirked as he was in the Macy's parade in New York. He was on a float, waving to everyone he saw.

"This is an awesome parade float. Maybe one day Greendale may accept us, plus Tina and I can reveal something cool." Savannah says.

"Huh?" Angry Luigi asked.

"I call it Flower Power. Heck, the host of American Idol sent me a message about it." Savannah says.


With Luke at the San Antonio parade, he was getting ready to go on the San Antonio Riverwalk float with Oliver and Chalice.

Tina sees Oliver and Luke and hides as she is nervous.

Luke, Oliver, and Chalice stand on their part of the float as it begins moving toward the parade itself.

People cheer, seeing them. The trio begins performing their cover of "Who Says You Can't Go Home?", then Chalice and the boys perform "Could Have Been Me" by Halsey, both performances well received by the crowd.


Meanwhile, Autumn sets up for Thanksgiving dinner as Tina helps her.

"Where is cousin Luke?" Nicholas asked Lincoln.

"In the city's Thanksgiving parade." Lincoln says as the parade was on the news.

Luke, Oliver, and Chalice were beaming and showing all of San Antonio how talented they are.

When they finished, everyone wanted autographs. The trio happily signed a few autographs and took pictures with some fans.

The three of them were an amazing musical trio and performed in more than just this parade as they performed at several other parades and festivals before Thanksgiving.

The cosmic buddies see this and frowned.

"We'll never be accepted." Reilly sighed.

"Let's go." Chrissy sighed.


Soon Luke came for dinner with Oliver.

" We're so proud of you!" Charity says as Lori nods

"You're the best, like always." Lucy says and gives Luke something. It was a letter.

"Wonder what this could be…" Luke says as he opens it.

It was for America's Next Hitmaker. As Season 8 was upon them in January, the tour and competition would be more challenging than ever. He also got a letter from the host of American Idol.

Luke squealed as everyone smiled, happy for him.

"The host and judges of American Idol wanted to see you perform for one episode." Lucy says.

"Just me?" Luke says.

"Oh, Oliver and Chalice, too." Lucy says.

"Everyone wants us to be on their shows." Oliver says with a smile. "We accept."


Meanwhile, Brandy came to his house to see dinner being served.

Brandy sighed, wishing to be accepted and not called a freak.


A few days later, Luke, Oliver, and Chalice were on the set of American Idol in Los Angeles, excited to be there.

Charity was happy. Everything nowadays, since season 7 ended, was centered around this trio.

The cosmic buddies watched this on TV.

"Luke, his brother Oliver, and that Chalice always get the glory while we're the monsters. I'm sick of it." Alem tuber says.

"How? We suck." Angry Luigi says.


On the show, Luke, Oliver, and Chalice do their performance of "High School Musical" from High School Musical 3. The crowd was loving it.

The judges and host loved it even more. Especially when Luke and Oliver held Chalice up at the end as the crowd cheered.

Lucy smiled at them. The plans for the boys' birthday have changed drastically since a month-long party just wasn't possible. She planned a different activity for each day of the month instead, and the boys were okay with that, as long as they got three parties, which Lucy agreed to.

At the end of November, Luke and Oliver went to Chrissy's party and dropped off their gifts. They weren't staying for the party. They planned on helping Charity and Gabriel get the house ready for Christmas and Luke wanted time with his cousins before they headed back to Michigan.

Tina just stays in her room. She really didn't want to be around Luke or the Louds.

Delta and Chrissy just walked around Greendale.

"Today seems nice." Delta says.

"Yeah…" Chrissy says.

"Listen, sure everyone calls us freaks, but we're awesome heroes!" Delta says. Chrissy smiled.


"Hey, Luce, you're turning 16 soon. Are you going to celebrate your sweet 16?" Oliver asked.

"No, Luke's happiness comes before mine." Lucy says. "Besides, I hate huge parties. All I want is a few gifts and Luke's famous death by chocolate cake. Nothing more."

"I get it. Big parties can be pretty overwhelming." Oliver says. "Even though I like them, it can be too much."

Lucy then looked down and sighed, still missing her great grandmother.

"She was pretty cool. She had really cool magic. I wanted to be like her. Also my birthday is her birthday." Lucy says.


Later, Chrissy was stunned by her party. All the cosmic buddies were there. Luke and Oliver weren't.

"It's for the best. They hog all the glory." Alem tuber says.

Chrissy opens her first gift, which is from Alem tuber.

It was a pair of go-go boots.

Chrissy then opens Delta's gift, seeing a waffle maker.

"Thanks!" Chrissy says, smiling.

"Oh, check out the music video." Savannah says

"Why? Is your flower song going to appear on American Idol?" Jack scoffed. Savannah nodded.

After the gifts, they played games until it was cake time. Chrissy's cake was strawberry flavored and everyone enjoyed it.


Meanwhile, Luke gets ready for bed, hearing his siblings all talking about him. Specifically his and Oliver's 18th birthday. No mentions of Lucy, just the way Lucy liked it.
