A few days later, Beth and Bella sat together, munching on snacks, their eyes fixed on Emma as she played with Marry.
"And this is Rinky." Emma says, holding a toy.
"Okay, we gotta prepare for the show." Bella says.
"Bella, hungry." Marry says.
Bella sighed. "I'll cook some food." She says.
With Luke, he was practicing with Chalice.
Chalice smiles at Luke. "I think we're going to do well in the upcoming show." She says. "Our routine is going to blow everyone's mind!'
Lisa wakes up and sees Lori had called a sibling meeting in the living room.
"What's wrong?" Lisa asked.
"Luke's ANH tour." Lori says.
"Yes, we are aware." Lisa says wanting to get back to her technical work.
"You're still in, too, you know." Lori says. "But, anyway, it has come to my attention that someone has tampered with Luke and Lisa's performance outfits and props. Now we're going to find out who did this."
"Not me." Luna says.
"You did it once." Lola says.
"But it wasn't me this time." Luna says.
"Who did it?" Charity asked, now getting involved.
"Maybe Ace Savvy can solve this!" Lincoln says.
Meanwhile, fans were walking around, getting ice cream as Connor was about to get an interview, but there was an explosion.
A lava monster tries punching Alem tuber, who dodged as Emila was charging up a spell.
"Hold still!" Emila says.
"You heard the lady." Delta says as the lava monster shot lava, but Angry Luigi turned into Heatblast, absorbing the lava.
"Ha, fight fire with fire! Get out of here!" Heatblast says to Connor's fans, then looks at Connor.
"You should run." Heatblast says as the lava monster punches Heatblast.
"Fresh air to me" Heatblast says and grabbed him.
"Emila, do it now!" Heatblast says as Emila uses a spell trapping the lava monster and taking its heat away as fans cheer. Connor storms away.
Mr. and Mrs. Clusterfield watch this fight.
"Those brats think they've won? Well, we'll embarrass them on TV tonight." Mrs. Clusterfield says.
"It has to be someone who has a grudge on both Luke and Lisa." Lincoln says.
"That rules Leni out. She made those costumes." Lori says as Leni sniffed.
"Who could it be?" Charity asked.
"I've checked the evidence and the only person who had issues was Lucy." Lincoln says.
"What, me?! You're lying." Lucy says.
"You got mad with Lisa." Lincoln says
"You're wrong I'd never hurt Luke" Lucy says
"True, she has a point. Maybe it was Tina." Lynn guessed.
They check the cameras and see David. Charity runs out of the house and has David by the collar of his lab coat. Gabriel had already called the police.
David pressed a button as a drone shot a laser, hitting Charity.
"Mom!" The siblings said as Lisa came up as it was up to Lisa.
In a thrilling showdown, Lisa employed her powerful mech to engage in a fierce battle against David's advanced tech. Through strategic maneuvering and precise targeting, Lisa emerged victorious, showcasing her exceptional skills and determination.
David's tech was shut down before the police took him away. Every piece of it.
"And if this was a feeble attempt to get me to like you, then I must apologize. I'M TAKEN!" Lisa says as the police killed David on site.
Lucy used magic, fixing Luke's costumes.
Baby Oliver cries, crawling up to Charity.
Lucy glared at baby Oliver.
Leni heals Charity. Charity sobbed. Today was also her half-birthday.
Lucy goes to decorate for Charity.
Tina planned to dedicate her song to her mom. She wanted to make her proud.
Charity was bottle-feeding baby Oliver. Oliver fell asleep after Charity burped him.
Charity smiled a bit as she watched him sleep.
The show was soon starting in Memphis.
April and Gemma came on stage in cowgirl outfits as the fans cheered.
"Howdy, ya'll! Welcome to our Country Celebration, live from the Graceland Soundstage in beautiful Memphis, Tennessee!" April says.
"Tonight, our top 40 teams will perform here to get your votes! Tonight will be our first quintuple elimination show to make our top 35 teams that will move to our Disney Night show in Orlando, Florida! So, don't forget to vote, America!" Gemma says.
"Coming up first is the team of Beau and Lisa!" April says as the fans cheered.
Beau and Lisa go on stage and do "Fancy Like" by Walker Hayes.
Girls screamed for Beau as boys and grown men cheered for Lisa.
Lisa blushed a bit. "I have something for a special person here tonight." She says. The crowd is interested in this.
"I'd like to dedicate this to my mother." She says.
Lisa performed one of Charity's favorite songs as she smiled.
Lisa soon went offstage after that.
Backstage, Luke felt very nervous. He looked at the floor. He frowned.
"Hey, we still got this. Although, Beau is actually a challenge now." Chalice says.
Luke just felt nervous.
"We can beat him." Chalice says with a smile.
"Coming up next is Cuphead and Mugman!" April says.
The cups appear as fans scream their names. They then perform "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" by Big & Rich.
The crowd was dancing and singing along as the cups performed.
They soon move their heads, which makes the crowd cheer even louder as they soon finish.
Luna and Sam get ready to go on. They see Luke pacing the floor.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked. She saw his face was pale.
"Luke?!" Lucy asked, coming in and looking concerned.
Luke fell to the floor, having an anxiety attack.
Lucy gave Luke his polar bear plush toy. "This is your fault." Lucy says to Lisa and Beau. But Charity quickly diffused the situation.
"This isn't anyone's fault!" Charity says. "Luke is already under enough pressure as it is…"
Luna and Sam soon go on and perform "Here For The Party" by Gretchen Wilson. The crowd loved their synchronization and rhythm.
Luke shook when he watched Brandy and Randy get ready.
"What if someone tries to kill us?" Brandy asked.
"No one is out to get us." Randy says as a needle hits his arm as he collapses. Brandy's eyes widen as he gets nervous and tries to wake his brother up.
He then used lightning to wake him up.
"Okay, let's do this!" Randy says.
"Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next is the amazing duo of Brandy and Randy Waterlash!" Gemma says as fans cheered for them.
The twins appeared and smiled at each other as they did their performance of "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" by Travis Tritt.
They soon finished as fans cheered.
"Yes, cheer for your heroes!" Randy says.
"Coming up next are the stars of the show, Luke Huntington and Mrs. Chalice!" April says.
They both appeared on stage and started performing "Love's Lookin' Good On You" by Lady Antebellum. The crowd falls in love with their harmony and rhythm as they both dance and sing.
Chalice even did a split as the crowd went wild for her.
"That was amazing!" Lucy says as April hits the platinum button. Luke and Chalice squealed.
Tina looks nervous as she and Savannah are up next, before Beth and Bella. The Pingrey siblings are the main event tonight.
"Coming up next is Savannah Dossmeyer and Tina Huntington!" April says.
The girls come out to cheers and applause. They then perform "Baby Girl" by Sugarland.
People cheer for them as they sing.
They soon finished as the crowd cheered.
Beth and Bella were preparing to go on.
"Coming up next is the heroic duo of Bella and Beth!" Gemma says as fans cheered.
The duo appeared, smiling at the crowd. They perform "No One Else On Earth" by Wynonna Judd.
The crowd watched their every move. The girls stayed in sync the entire time.
Connor was still seething from earlier as Carol tried to calm him down.
"What's wrong?" Savannah asked Connor. Connor just saw red as he stared at her.
"YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL WHAT'S WRONG!" Connor shouted.
"We're sorry about stealing your interview. We just wanted to help you." Savannah says.
"Yeah, innocent people nearly got killed." Alem tuber says.
"It's our job as heroes. It's harsh, but life ain't fair, especially when it's all out to get us." Angry Luigi says.
"But we do apologize." Bill says.
"THANK YOU for saving all our lives! There! You got your gratitude from me! Now leave me alone!" Connor says, storming away from the group.
"You guys are heroes." Carol says. "But you also have to realize that you ruined Connor's first ANH interview. That was his spotlight and he was excited about it. But now you made him not want to be around you anymore. Apologizing is all well and good, but you guys actually hurt Connor's feelings." Carol then goes after her brother.
The Cosmic buddies tell April to give Connor an interview.
"He deserves it. We don't really deserve to be heroes right now." Savannah says.
April sets up an interview for Connor and Carol as Connor sniffed.
"So, Connor, how do you feel about this competition so far?" April asked him.
"The only real challenge is Luke. I'm not sure if I'll win." Connor says.
"We'll do our best, little bro." Carol says, holding Connor's hand.
"I know you will." April says.
"Coming up next is the main event of the evening! I'd like to introduce a sibling duo who is truly going places, Carol and Connor Pingrey!" April says.
They smile as they appear on stage, the crowd screaming their names.
They start performing "Walking In Memphis" by Lonestar, singing in perfect harmony.
The crowd cheered for them as they finished.
Later, the eliminations were announced. None of the main teams were eliminated so far.
"Mom, I have a surprise for you." Lucy says. But she found Charity soothing baby Oliver as he had started teething.
"Shhh…shhh…don't cry, Ollie…" Charity says. "I know your gums are sore…"
"Oh, um…Mom?" Lucy says.
"What is it, sweetie? I'm trying to get Oliver down for the night." Charity says.
"I have a surprise for you." Lucy says.
Gabriel comes up. "I'll take care of Ollie. Go see what the kids did for you." He says with a smile. Charity hands Oliver off to Gabriel as she soon follows Lucy.
She took Charity to a neon themed dance room. Charity could hear singing.
"Surprise!" The siblings say as confetti falls on her. "Happy half-birthday, Mom!" they say as Lucy had planned it.
"Is this for me?" Charity asked as Lucy nodded.
"It's a wonderful surprise, thank you, sweetheart." Charity says as Lucy smiled.
Soon, Charity opened some gifts.
She opens Luke's gift to reveal a new Pandora charm bracelet that has Texas-themed charms on it. Charity smiles and hugs her son.
Lucy reads a poem to Charity as she smiles while she listens.
With Connor, he felt a little upset. He was happy to finally have his first ANH interview, but he was still upset.
Carol checks on him. Connor is sitting on his hotel room bed, his head buried in his knees.
"Are you okay, little bro?" She asked.
"I'm just trying not to think of my upcoming 18th birthday. I mean, you already turned 18 a year ago and now you're 19, but still…" Connor says.
She pats his back. Connor looks at her.
"I'm sure Luke and Lucy will give you a great party." Carol says.
Connor just cries. He knows everyone will forget his day, just like last year and the year before that. What he wants this year is for his birthday to actually be remembered.
Meanwhile, Gabriel gives Charity her gift.
"You got me teething rings?! Gabriel, I know these aren't meant for me…" Charity says.
"They're for Oliver." Gabriel says.
"What did you get for me?" Charity asked.
He got her a really nice dress. "I love this dress, but I love you more!" Charity says as she kisses Gabriel. "By the way, who's watching Oliver?"
"Tina." Gabriel says.
With Tina, she was in her room with the baby monitor on her bedside table. Oliver was asleep at the moment, but she knew it wouldn't be that way for long if he woke up. Tina sighed. She really wanted to hang out with Savannah tonight, but she was asked to watch Oliver instead.
Oliver woke up sobbing. Tina walked into his room.
"Oh, Oliver, what's the matter?" Tina asked the auburn curlytop baby.
Oliver just cries as Tina feeds him some milk.
Back at the party, Lucy revealed a parade float. Charity looked skeptical.
"It's for you." Lucy says.
"Why am I getting a parade? Charity asked.
"Because you're special." Lucy says.
"I accept." Charity says. Lucy smiled as Charity goes on the float.
"When is Connor's birthday?" Leni asked Lori.
"Carol says it's on July 18th. I have to say that she's right." Lori says. "Because she knows her brother well."
Leni winced. "I have something on that day" Leni says.
"What could you possibly have planned? You're on this ANH tour, and you're not going back to Reininger's until it ends." Lori says.
"There's this cool fashion show I've dreamed of entering." Leni says.
Flashback: Leni was watching TV as she saw a fashion show competition to see who could make the best dress and someone had to model it.
"I wanted you to be my model, but it's okay." Leni says. But Lori looked at Leni.
"Connor's party isn't until after that show of yours. So count me in." Lori says.
Leni squealed.
With Tina, she finally got Oliver to go back to sleep. Oliver was cute when he was sleeping.
Tina starts to knit as she sits in an armchair in Oliver's room. She knitted him a sweater.
At the party, the parade had just ended and everyone was soon sitting down to eat. Charity sees her cake and decides it was time to cut it.
Lucy lit the candles as Charity is counting them all. There were 52 and a half candles on the M&M-covered cake. She smiled at this.
Everyone began to sing to Charity. Charity smiled as they sang to her.
Soon, she thought of her wish.
She wished for Luke to achieve his dreams and for Oliver to grow up nicer. She then blew out all the candles as everyone cheered.
Luke came back from his mom's party to see Chalice and the cups sleeping on his bed.
He looks annoyed, but smiles when he sees how adorable his wife is when she's sleeping. He lets it go and sleeps on his pull-out couch, just for tonight.
