Luke wakes up on December 14th, smiling.
"The day has come…." Luke says. "Today, most of those Louds are being BANISHED from Royal Woods!"
He quickly gets out of bed, takes a shower, gets dressed, and brushes his hair and teeth before going down to eat his breakfast.
Downstairs, everyone else was eating breakfast and talking about today's big event.
"Sigh. I really don't wanna go." Lucy says.
"Same. I wish to just continue with my work. " Lisa says.
"I have waited for this day…" Luke says.
"You two don't have to go if you don't feel comfortable, but you will have to watch over Lily." Charity says.
"Come on, you two." Lucy says to her youngest siblings, leading them to her room.
Meanwhile, Lola wakes up and gets ready. She knows she'll be banished with the whole town watching. She looked down as she cried knowing she had a chance to redeem herself and she blew it.
Luan was crying as she knew she'd never see any of her ex-friends or do comedy in this town again. Funny Business was also as good as gone.
Lynn was still in a coma.
Lori was sobbing as she ate. She lost everything. Her lover, her friends, and her free ride scholarship to Fairway University. When that scholarship was awarded to Carol, Lori started sobbing.
"Okay, get up." the warden says.
The girls get up and follow the warden, Lori carrying Lynn.
With Luke and the others, Luke was excited as he was going to get a front row seat to watch the other Louds get banished from the town. Luna had also been waiting for this day.
They soon arrive as Luke sees a golden throne for him. "Yes!" Luke says and sits down. "Begin! Begin!"
The mayor soon appears and begins to speak. "Today, we are going to banish Lori, Luan, Lynn, and Lola Loud from Royal Woods. What they did to Luke is unforgivable, not to mention all the other things they've done to everyone in this town." Mayor Davis says.
Lori, Luan, Lynn and Lola are in cuffs, Lynn looking worse than the other three.
Luna, Lincoln, Lana, and Leni are seated in front of Luke, in some lower chairs. Luke is seated on his throne and is eating popcorn.
The mayor talks about how the sisters made the town fear them. "These monsters have caused so much damage, but today, we'll be able to sleep without worrying." Mayor Davis says.
"Come on!" Luke says.
"Kick them out!" The crowd chanted.
Lucy, Lisa, and Lily were watching it all on TV as Lisa was working on an ice cream machine.
Soon they put the siblings in a van as they drove away with them for good. Everyone cheered.
"Finally!" Luke says, happy as can be.
Back at home, Luke feels upset because tomorrow would be forgotten.
"No one will remember, I know it, no one loves Luke!" Luke says as he cries.
He soon hears singing from downstairs.
Luke goes downstairs, just to see them celebrating Lucy. He sadly goes back to his room.
"I knew they would forget…Lucy stole my spotlight…" Luke says. "I HATE her!" Luke says as he tears up. "They lied…."
Luke exits his room, planning to leave the house.
The siblings are eating cake when they see Luke.
"Hey, Luke." Lucy says, looking annoyed that she had to celebrate.
Luke looks sad and very angry, leaving the siblings concerned.
"What's wrong?" Lincoln asked.
"Tomorrow is your birthday! Why are you upset?" Leni says.
"You're all going to forget about it!" Luke cries.
"We won't…." Luna says.
"I know you will, and when that happens, I'll make everyone suffer!" Luke says as he stomps back up to his room.
Lucy sighed. "This wouldn't have happened if you all just forgot about me. You know Luke hates when you go against my wishes." She says.
(A/N: Lucy has never enjoyed celebrating her birthday. Her siblings always attempt to celebrate it.)
At bedtime, Luke is crying.
Lucy entered his room and hugged him. "It's going to be okay….please don't be mad at me." Lucy says.
Luke hugs Lucy, still crying. He eventually falls asleep.
The sun shone through Luke's windows the next morning as he still sleeps. He's snoring lightly and sleeping peacefully. Lucy noticed Luke sleeping and smiled.
Luke starts to cry in his sleep.
Lucy wasn't sure what to do, so she held him and sang the birthday song, knowing that could cheer him up.
Luke slowly wakes up. "Oh, morning…."
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Luke…" Lucy sang, showing as much happiness as she could.
Luke smiles a little. "Thanks…"
He soon gets out of bed and gets a shower, visualizing what the siblings will do as they forget about today. He imagines them attacking him as he sobs in the shower.
Lana hears this and feels bad for Luke.
Later, he sadly goes downstairs and heads into the kitchen.
Luke is surprised to see them sitting at the table, where there was a well made birthday breakfast. Luke looks at it in shock.
"Wow….amazing!" Luke says with a smile. He sees most of it is eaten already.
"I HATE YOU ALL!" Luke screamed and ran away, planning revenge.
"Why did you girls eat without him?" Charity asks them.
They look ashamed.
Luke sobs as he didn't get his birthday breakfast.
Luke calls the police and tells them to take all of them away from his house and Royal Woods.
"Luke, wait, please!" Lucy says with tears in her eyes, not wanting to be separated from her favorite sibling.
Luke looks at Lucy. "What?"
" I-I " Lucy says and reads him a birthday poem.
Luke just looks at her. "I like it a lot, sis." He smiles at Lucy.
"How could you?!" Lincoln says to his sisters.
Luke returns, holding his growling stomach.
"Luke is hungry." Luke says. "I don't get a birthday breakfast this year…."
The sisters tried to make a birthday breakfast for him, but failed. Luke then goes to his room and lays on the bed, starving and sobbing.
"We really screwed up…" Leni says.
Luke later goes to the city, looking for a new family that would give him a good birthday.
"I want a better family…" Luke says as he looks for some houses. He then sees a house full of people and decorations, and notices the mayor inside.
"The mayor promised me a birthday…but all of Royal Woods forgot…." Luke sniffs.
Luke decided to burn Royal Woods down. The siblings come to see Luke.
"I hate all of you! No one loves Luke! Have fun in hell!" Luke says.
Mayor Davis sees Luke and tries to tell him his party will happen.
Luke glared. "I am not convinced! Also, I want them out!" Luke says.
Mayor Davis looks at Luke. "Your birthday will be celebrated!" She tells Luke.
"Okay." Luke says.
Later, Luke arrives in the town square. He doesn't see any sign of a party as of yet.
"I knew it!" Luke says. "They weren't giving me a party at all…."
He goes off to cry the rest of his birthday away.
Later, Luke had set up bombs to blow Royal Woods up.
Luke screams. "They never wanted to give me my birthday!"
"Luke, wait!" Luna says.
"No! I'm done! Good-bye, Royal Woods!" Luke says.
Lisa later took him to his party as there were now lots of decorations.
Luke looks shocked. All of Royal Woods was there for Luke.
"Nobody forgot me…." Luke says, surprised.
There were pictures of Luke, colorful balloons, and a big Arctic blue banner with Luke's name on it.
Luke grins as the party begins with fireworks in his favorite colors. Luke smiles at them.
Luke spots Ronnie Anne after the fireworks, smiling.
"Ronnie Anne!" Luke says.
Luke goes to Ronnie Anne and smiles.
Lincoln and Clyde decided to play video games. Luke plays some games like the ring toss, getting all the rings in as Lucy gives Luke a thumbs up.
Luna and her band play music in the background.
Luke and Ronnie Anne eat some hot dogs before going on the Ferris wheel and smile while holding hands.
They soon go on a rollercoaster as they raise their hands up. "Best birthday ever!" Luke says.
Luke soon walks around as he smiles and goes to get his face painted. The painter smiles and gives him an Ace Savvy face painting.
Luke was excited and saw some people doing juggling and smiles.
"This is my best party ever…" Luke says.
Soon, the mayor was getting everyone's attention.
Everyone looks at the mayor, especially Luke.
"I would like to thank everyone for coming. This day is indeed very special as this is Luke Huntington's 11th birthday." Mayor Davis says.
"Me!" Luke says, grinning. "I'm the birthday boy!"
Everyone gave Luke a round of applause.
"Tomorrow better be like this…" Luke says to all of Royal Woods.
The citizens smile knowingly as they have something awesome planned for tomorrow. But for now, they nod understandingly.
The party continues as Luke makes sure no one leaves.
Luke sees gifts, but is told to wait. Luke screamed and sobbed.
"I want them now!" Luke screamed.
"But don't you want to eat first?" Luna asks Luke.
Luke goes to eat. There were all kinds of food he liked.
Luke sits with Ronnie Anne and eats a lot as Ronnie Anne giggled. Lucy smiles watching Luke.
A huge piñata is soon brought out. Luke's eyes lit up as he smiled really big.
Luke gets to go first. Lucy blindfolds him.
Luke goes for a swing, and misses.
Lucy holds Luke and turns him the right way.
Luke hissed as he kept missing. Lucy tries to help him.
After a few misses, he breaks it open.
Everyone cheered as Luke sighed and smiled. Everyone takes some candy as Luke gets some.
Luke is now hissing on his throne.
Lucy gives Luke her gift. Luke opened it to see a clock.
Luke was confused.
"Why did you get me a clock?" Luke asked.
"You'll see." Lucy says, smiling.
Luke doesn't look convinced.
"You don't trust me, do you?" Lucy asked.
Luke looks at Lucy. "Why did you give me a clock?!"
"Remember the clock that rabbit has in Alice in Wonderland? I found the real one." Lucy says.
Luke looks at it. "What does it do?"
Lucy turns it as it hypnotizes the mayor.
Luke gasps. "What did you do that for?"
"To show you." Lucy says.
"You'll make me never have an epic birthday again…." Luke says, taking the clock away.
Lucy sighed and reversed the effects.
Luke opens more gifts, most of them being clothes.
Luke screamed. "CLOTHES?!"
"You all ruined this day! I will destroy Royal Woods!" Luke screams and goes to set up the bombs.
Luna looks sadly at Luke.
"What about your biggest gift?" Luna asks him.
Luke opens it and grins as he sees a statue.
"For me!" Luke squealed, knowing he was the most important kid in Royal Woods, although he wishes he was king of Royal Woods.
It was cake time, but Luke doesn't see the cake anywhere.
"I'll blow up Royal Woods if I don't get what I want!" Luke screams. "WHERE IS MY BIRTHDAY CAKE?!"
The lights dim down. Luke starts to cry.
Soon the cake is revealed, but it wasn't what Luke expected.
Luke screamed. "Chocolate?! I want blue velvet and I want it now!" He demanded, hissing.
Charity looked hurt by this request, but she went to comply with it, walking away in tears.
Luke waits impatiently. The siblings exchanged worried glances.
Meanwhile, Charity is sobbing.
"I just wanted him to have a different cake this year…." Charity says, sobbing against Luna. "I just wanted him to try different things! But it's never enough!" Charity cries. "I don't think he even appreciates me a-anymore…."
"I'm sure he does…" Luna says.
"When will he learn to be grateful for what he has?!" Charity sobbed.
"Give him time, he's not like anyone else. You should know him better." Luna says.
"I'm sick of him requesting the same cake every year!" Charity shouts.
Luke overhears this and runs away sobbing.
Lincoln looks at Luke.
"You really take your mom for granted." Lincoln says to Luke.
"I hate being scolded!" Luke screams.
"This isn't a scolding. This is a fact. She does a lot for you, and you never thank her for what she does. You getting mad over a cake really pushed her past her breaking point. You really should learn to appreciate her and appreciate what you have." Lincoln says.
"But Luke is grateful…." Luke says.
Soon Charity comes out with the cake Luke wanted. She then dropped it to the ground and walked off.
Luke screamed in anger "MY CAKE!" Luke says as Lucy tries to calm him down, but Luke is furious and throws a fit.
"That will be enough!" Luna shouts.
Luke glared at Luna. "Excuse me?" Luke hissed mad.
"LUKE FLYNN!" Charity screams.
Luke froze and started crying. "I WANT A BETTER CAKE AND CUPCAKES AND COOKIES!" Luke sobbed.
"The only thing you're getting right now is in the limo and we're going home!" Charity says as she grabs Luke by the shirt and takes him there.
"My party!" Luke sobbed.
"You are going HOME now!" Charity says. "You are acting out too much!"
"Wait, Mom…don't, please…it's his day." Lucy says.
"He needs to be grateful he's even celebrating at all. The whole town is celebrating him, and all he wants to do is act ungrateful." Charity says. "Luke is going home to think about how he acted."
Luke sobbed as Charity took him back to the manor.
