The next morning, Charity was making breakfast. Luke emerges downstairs, grabs Oliver's half birthday cake out of the fridge that was literally untouched, and drops it on the ground as he hisses angrily.
(A/N: Luke accepts that Oliver is here for Stella, and that he has a place here.)
Soon Lucy came down. Luke was smearing dropped cake all over the floor.
"Whose cake was that?" Lucy asked.
"Oliver's!" Luke hissed.
Charity holds Luke as she gives him his breakfast of scrambled egg whites, bacon, turkey sausage links, and toast.
"Thank you." Luke sniffed.
"Of course, my sweet treasure." Charity says.
Luna came down, holding Brandy, who sniffed.
"Morning, Luke." Luna says.
Luke hisses as he's eating.
Oliver comes down, ready for rehearsal. He then sees the cake all over the floor.
"Who did this?" He asked as Luke pointed at Brandy, blaming it on him.
"You!" Oliver screamed as Brandy rushed off as Oliver chased Brandy.
Brandy rushed around as he hid behind a wall.
Luke's siblings come down as they see Luke looking broken.
"I think we should give Tina a celebration for 3rd place. I mean she tried her best." Leni says.
"You sure? You don't have to do that for me." Tina says.
Luke leaves for rehearsal, skipping the rest of breakfast.
"Leni, you scared Luke off. Why do you all hate Luke?" Lucy asked.
"We don't." Luna says.
"Faking support, leaving his shows, seeing that he doesn't have potential….I saw it all with my own eyes." Lucy says. "None of you ever loved Luke except me " Lucy says.
"Hey, we do care for Luke. For the record, I saw his potential first." Lola says.
"When he started doubting that he wouldn't win, you guys turned on him. I just can't believe you guys would just say things to make him feel worse." Lucy says.
"We didn't turn on him. Mom said we should give him space." Lori says. "Also you're being overprotective again. Stop it."
"She is not being overprotective. She is stating facts." Charity says, appearing before the group. "You kids have been putting yourselves before Luke at the past few shows. And frankly, this behavior disgusts me."
The siblings look at Charity.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi rushed around the manor leaving electric trails as he rushed as fast as he could. Oliver was hot on his trail as Angry Luigi rose a crystal path up, blocking Oliver.
"Of course. When a mistake happens, blame it on me." Angry Luigi says, a bit annoyed that Luke put the blame on him.
Oliver just goes to rehearsal, determined to win.
At rehearsal, Luke is practicing for his performance. The finals show would be a freestyle theme, so the contestants can pick any song style they want.
Luke cries as he knows he has no one. He then proceeds to continue his practice, tuning everyone out.
Tina sighed, not knowing what to do. The only thing she knew to do at this point was to be there as a source of comfort to Luke and someone to talk to.
She goes to see Luke.
Lana, Lucy, Lynn, Luna and Lincoln go to see Luke. Luke finishes his own practice and joins the group practice for the finals show's opening dance.
Lana smiled as she watched Luke.
"I just wanna feel this moment!" Luke sang as the chorus to "Feel This Moment" by Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera plays.
The siblings and friends clap. Luke just sighed and walked offstage to get some lemon water.
Leni came to him, hiding something and smiling.
"What's that?" Luke asked.
Leni got him a gift. "It's….um, my thing. Happy Siblings Day!" Leni says, giving him a new costume for the show. Luke's eyes lit up as he held it. He admired its design and colors. "Thank you, Leni! I love it!"
"What's she on about?" Lola asked.
"It's a day where Leni goes past her limits, showing her love." Lincoln says.
Luke smiles and tries on the costume.
"I love it, and it fits so well!" Luke says.
Leni later goes to buy Luke a cake, decorations, and another gift.
Lucy and Lincoln go to do the same.
Lucy smiled a bit. "Did I really mature? Do you think I became a better sibling?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, you were always good to Luke, but helping me was really nice." Lincoln says.
Luna and Angry Luigi were also looking at the gifts. Angry Luigi thinks of a gift for Oliver as Luna thinks of one for Luke when they see Flip getting arrested.
"Arrest that man!" Bill says. "I always wanted to say that."
"It wasn't me!" Flip says.
"Shut it! No one touches my daughter!" Sutton says as Luna rushes over to Sam. "Sam, are you ok?!" Luna asked.
Sam nodded.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you." Luna says, feeling guilty.
"You are here now." Sam says before noticing Flip push the cop and take out a gun. He shot at Sam and Luna. However, Luna caught it and flicked it back, hitting Flip on the head as he fell over dead.
"Check out this gift I got from Las Vegas!" Lola says, holding a jar of rock candy.
"Nice!" Lana says.
"Luke will love it." Lola says.
Later, Luke is crying in his room, still wearing the costume.
Tina came in.
"What do you want, guest of honor?!" Luke sniffed.
"I wanted to check on you." Tina says. "I'm not sure why they put me in the spotlight, since I lost." Tina says.
"They won't come to the show. They'll have things to do." Luke says.
"Try and have faith." she says.
Luke nods and goes back to crying.
That evening, Luke and Oliver head to their respective dressing rooms.
Oliver was thinking. "How do I win?" he asked himself.
Luke was staring at his reflection and hissing.
Soon, Gemma came on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the America's Next Hitmaker finals! We have four sparkling competitors here to perform their hearts out for you tonight! Votes tonight will go toward the final results for this season's winner! So, cast those votes!" Gemma says.
Soon, the two others went on. Oliver gets ready to go on for his first round of performance, his theme being "showstopper".
"Coming up next, Oliver Waterlash!" Gemma says, smiling as Oliver comes on stage. He then performs "I'm Still Standing" by Taron Egerton.
People cheer. Skylia, Bob and the twins cheered the loudest.
Oliver winked and smiled. Luke sadly watches.
Soon Oliver finished and walked offstage.
Luke started to feel unconfident.
"You can do this." Leni says.
"Next, performing in his hometown, the one and only Luke Huntington!" Gemma says.
Luke comes out on stage and tries not to swallow a lump that comes before crying.
Everyone gasped as Luke sobbed on stage. Leni and Luna run on stage and hold him.
"Luke, it's going to be okay…." Leni says.
"We're all with you." Luna says. "Do your first round performance. If no one else comes, we're here for you."
Luke soon managed a smile as he got ready to perform. He did "Prowlin" from Grease 2 for his "showstopper" performance, complete with backup dancers.
Girls were screaming and chanting Luke's name.
Oliver gasped, realizing they liked Luke more than him, and if Oliver lost, he would be Randy's shadow.
Soon, Luke was finished.
Everyone in the place cheered like Royal Woods had won the Super Bowl. Luke was grinning widely and taking it in.
"What a spectacular conclusion to our first round performances!" Gemma says. "Stay tuned for our second round, where our contestants are going to dazzle us more!"
"You did amazing, Luke! You beat Oliver in that round!" Lola says
"It's not over yet." Luke says, changing into his second round performance outfit.
Oliver drank water and got himself ready for the second round.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Oliver Waterlash is coming out for his second round performance!" Gemma says. The crowd cheers and chants Oliver's name.
Oliver came up. He started doing his performance to "The Greatest Show" from The Greatest Showman.
People were cheering. Luke was fuming as that was his song that he chose and now he couldn't use it.
"Cheater!" Luke screamed. "No more games! I'm bringing out my biggest and best performance!"
"Coming up is Luke Huntington for his second round performance!" Gemma says.
Luke comes out on stage and stands in the center of it. People cheer.
"He's probably going to bring out some guest singer or something." Alem tuber thought.
Oliver smirked feeling confident " I did it my way " He says
"You know creativity gets fans' attention." Alem tuber says "Also, news flash. Cheating, really? I mean sure, I accidentally used The Lion King, but that movie is popular and an icon, so multiple people would have gone for that song, but still, try fireworks or something to get the fans attention and try not to piss Luke off." Alem tuber says.
"He ignored you." Alex says.
Luke began his performance, smiling as he performed "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith, his favorite rock song.
Everyone smiled. The girls shrieked and fainted with glee.
"So cool!" Luna says.
Luke finished his performance with a triumphant grin on his face.
Oliver looked stressed and planned his final round performance.
"You got this!" Angry Luigi says.
"Yeah, who cares if you lose? Having fun is what matters." Savannah says
"Just be your awesome self." Alem tuber says
"Yeah, we're here for you." Stella says.
Luke is soon preparing for the final round.
"You're doing great!" Leni says.
"This is the final performance of this show. This is where it gets intense." Luke says.
"You mean like Audition?" Lynn asked.
Luke nods and continues preparing.
Gemma soon comes on stage.
"The time has come. It's time to begin the final round of this show! Our contestants are going to perform, then the time will come to announce America's Next Hitmaker!" Gemma says. People cheer wildly.
The other two contestants do their performances while Oliver and Luke get ready.
After a while, it was Oliver's turn.
"Coming up for his final round performance, Oliver Waterlash!" Gemma says as people cheer.
Oliver comes on stage. He smiles at the fans and begins to perform "Timber" by Pitbull ft. Ke$ha. The crowd goes wild for the performance and Oliver. Luke looks nervous.
"That's my boy!" Bob says.
Stella smiled.
After the performance, Stella came up. "Oliver, you were great!" She said and kissed him as people cheered and took pictures.
Luke just turns to walk away. "I can't compete with that…." He says.
"Luke, don't give up…" Lola says, holding his hand.
"I feel like I should…." Luke says. "I CAN'T COMPETE WITH HIM!"
"If you don't wanna compete, then it's fine. It's up to you." Leni says.
Luke just gets ready for his final round performance. "It's now or never." Luke says as he gets ready to go on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, keep yourselves awake, 'cause the final song is set to be a bang! Welcome LUKE HUNTINGTON to the stage!" Gemma says.
Luke comes out in the outfit Leni made for him, smiling a confident smile. He then performs "Never Say Never" by Justin Bieber ft. Jaden Smith.
People looked up as there was a helicopter above the stadium. Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith came out as the entire crowd screamed. Luke just grinned and kept performing. They perform with him as all the girls in the stadium scream and cheer.
Oliver was stunned by this.
"Go Luke!" Lucy says with emotion.
Soon, Luke finishes his performance, smiling a huge smile.
People cheered and clapped "Luke! Luke! Luke!" They chanted.
Soon, they tallied up the votes as there was a drum roll.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, your next Hitmaker by a landslide is Luke Huntington!" Gemma says.
Luke cheered. "Oh, my God, I won!" He says
Oliver looked down as Skylia held him.
"Congratulations, Luke!" Tina says.
The siblings lift him up. "Luke won! Luke won!" They chanted as Luke smiled. He was happy to win and get a tour, which would be about him as the whole world would know who he was. His dream was coming true.
