A week later, Lincoln wakes up with a smile and starts dressing up for Sid's birthday. He then walks up to Charity.

"Hey, Mom, I need a ride to see Sid." Lincoln says.

"Yeah, me too." Lana says.

Luke looks down from the stairs, shedding angry tears.

"Okay. Luke, sweetheart, do you want to come along?" Charity asked.

"No!" Luke sobbed.

"Okay, sweetie." Charity says as she leaves with the rest of the siblings, except Lucy, who didn't want to go.

As soon as they're gone, Luke sobs as he feels unwanted and alone.

Lucy walked up to Luke. Luke is still crying.

"It's just not fair…" Luke says sadly.

Lucy holds Luke.

Meanwhile, Charity had just dropped Lincoln and the others off at Sid's birthday party, which is at the local zoo.

"You kids have fun." Charity says.

"Thanks." Lana says. The group walks in to see Sid talking about Luke.

"Hi, Sid." Lana says holding Hops

"Oh, a frog!" Sid says as her younger sister comes up.

"A frog!" Adelaide says, smiling.

"What kind of things were you saying about Luke, Sid?" Lincoln asked.

"He's a nice guy and is perfect for Ronnie Anne. But they should really have introduced me to them sooner." Sid says.

"Then why leave Luke out of this party?" Luna asked.

"Cause wait, say what now?" Sid asked before looking around. "Where is he? I told Ronnie Anne to give an invitation to him." Sid says as everyone looked at Ronnie Anne.

"I lost it. I don't know how, but I lost it." Ronnie Anne says.

"He now thinks no one likes him." Lincoln says. "He got upset when he saw he wasn't invited."

As the party begins, Lana was walking around, until she bumped into Lola.

"Lana?" Lola asks with tears in her eyes. She tries to hug Lana, who pushed her down.

"What the hell?!" Lola asked

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Lana screamed, heartbroken.

"I-I didn't have anywhere to go, so this was the safest bet." Lola says.

"You did something with Luke's invitation, didn't you?" Lana says.

"No, I don't know what you're talking about." Lola says.

Lisa was thinking. "Lincoln said Ronnie Anne was always the responsible one, unless it involved sabotage. Bobby loves Luke like a brother and CJ is too innocent for his own good. Carlota must have gotten jealous." Lisa says as Lincoln and Luna listen in.

Meanwhile, Luke was still upset and brokenhearted.

Lucy got a phone call and answered, "Oh, okay, I'll tell him even if it is pointless." Lucy says and hung up.

"It seems you were invited, but there was some sabotage and someone took your invitation." Lucy says.

"I don't care." Luke says sadly. "It's obvious I'm not liked anymore."

"I knew it was pointless to tell him…" Lucy says to herself.

Lucy hugged Luke. "Ronnie Anne and Sid care for you. It doesn't matter if everyone does like you. Sometimes you need to ask people and get the truth instead of jumping to conclusions." Lucy says, remembering when the sisters would always just blame Lincoln.

"But, why would I get left out? Just….why?" Luke asked, tears still in his eyes.

Just then Charity came in.

"Luke, my baby…" Charity says and takes out Luke's invitation.

"Where did you find that?" Luke asked.

"On the road." Charity says "Get dressed, you're going to have fun and I don't want you suffering. You deserve to be happy and included." Charity says.

Luke gets dressed in silence. Charity then takes him to the party as Lucy just watched.

At the party, Sid had just opened her gifts. Luke comes in, not talking.

"Hey, Luke, you made it!" Sid says.

Luke is still quiet.

"Luke, I'm sorry about all this." Sid says.

"You should be." Luke says darkly.

"I really want to make it up to you, how can I do that?" Sid asked Luke.

Luke thinks for a bit. "Hmmm, I don't know, let's just say you'll owe me a favor at a later date." He says before walking off.

"Mom, I'm ready to go home now…" Luke says. "I'm obviously not wanted here."

"That's not true! " Sid says

"YES, IT IS!" Luke says, angry.

Luna goes to Carlota. "How could you?" She asked.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"You took Luke's invitation." Luna says.

"What?! No! That's not true!" Carlota says.

"Then…. CARL!" Luna says as Carl dropped his ice cream. Everyone looks at him.

"Bye!" He says as he starts running off.

Meanwhile, Luke had stormed to a different part of the zoo.

Lola and Lana noticed Luke as Lola looked away. Luke hissed as he saw the party in the distance.

"I want a party about me…" Luke sobbed as Lana holds him.

"I should go…" Lola says and leaves.

Meanwhile, everyone was dancing and having a great time at the party. Sid was dancing with everyone, having the most fun.

Luna sat down worried.

"What's wrong?" Lincoln asked.

"Luke's upset." Luna says.

"Why?" Lincoln asked.

"Because someone doesn't like him. Luke wants to be invited properly and he wants his day. And oh, no, Lucy's home alone." Luna says.

"No, I'm not." Lucy says, popping up next to Luna.

Luna screamed and fell over. She then stands up and collects herself.

"Lucy! Seriously, you could give someone a heart attack! I mean, why do you keep on scaring people?" Luna scolded.

"Sorry…but I heard Luke was upset." Lucy says, still feeling ashamed.

"Do that again and I'll take your phone away for a week. I mean, you nearly killed our ex-mom." Luna says before noticing Lucy already looking down.

"Okay, sorry I went too far.. just check on Luke for me." Luna says stressed out.

Lucy nods and goes to find Luke.

Luke was alone with Lana on a bench.

"Hey, it's okay. Maybe some ice cream will cheer you up " Lana says as she holds two vanilla cones. Luke takes one and begins to eat it.

"Hey, Luke." Lucy says popping up out of nowhere as Lana and Luke scream. Luke looks at Lucy.

"Lucy, I'm still mad!" Luke says.

"Sorry." Lucy says.

"What happened?" Lana asks as Lucy spots Carl and realizes he did this. He made Ronnie Anne lose the invitation and frame Sid, and worse of all, Carl hurt her brother.

Lucy walked up to him and grabbed him by the arm.

"How dare you!" Lucy says as Carl bites her arm and runs off.

"I'm not learning anything from this." He says as Lucy winced. Luke then grabs him, fury in his eyes.

"It was just a joke." Carl says.

"DO I LOOK LIKE I'M JOKING?!" Luke screams as he throws Carl into a tree.

Carl fell, hurt, and sobbed. Luke storms away.

Lucy sighed and looked at Lana. "I guess I better be off." Lucy says.

"What's going on, Lucy?" Lana asks her.

"Carl hid Luke's invitation. It really hurt Luke and he's mentally broken." Lucy says as she walks off.

Soon, it was time for Sid's birthday cake. Luke came back, but he was in a foul mood, just standing in a corner of the party area.

Everyone begins singing to Sid. Sid smiles and blows her candles out as everyone but Luke and Lucy cheer.

Luke grabbed Lucy's hand and headed to the limo, tearing up.

"No one loves Luke! Everyone hates Luke!" Luke sobbed. "Luke will always be hated!"

"Luke, I love you." Lucy says.

"I know." Luke says. "I'm just so angry!"

"Mom, I think we're ready to go home now." Lucy says.

Charity nods and tells the driver to head back to the manor.

When they arrive, Luke runs to his room, sobbing.

"I KNEW NOBODY LIKED LUKE!" Luke screams and cries.

Lucy runs after Luke. "Luke, please let me in…" Lucy says.

"No!" Luke screamed.

"I'm your favorite sibling, you can trust me." Lucy says. Luke lets her in.

Lucy hugged Luke as he sobbed against her.

At the zoo, the siblings were helping the Changs clean up after the party. Luna can't help but think about Luke.

"You okay, Luna?" Leni asked.

"I can't help but think about why Luke was left out." Luna says. "I know he's liked."

"It was because of Carl. Also, I saw Lola." Lana says.

"That little brat…." Luna says angrily. "She just can't stay away, can she?!"

"Why do you guys hate her?" Leni asked.

"She's used Lincoln and Luke as good luck charms before. I remember the beatings that were administered by the other contestants in her previous pageants while she distracted the judges by showing off." Lana says. "If you ask me, I think she deserves to be where she is now."

"She made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes." Leni says.

"That was no mistake." Lana says. "It was definitely intentional."

"I'm going to find her " Leni says and leaves.

Leni walked around as Lola threw a paper airplane at Leni to grab her attention.

"Lola!" Leni says and runs over to hug Lola.

"I'm so glad to see you…" Lola says, hugging Leni back.

"Me, too! So when are you coming home?" Leni asked.

"Um, Leni, I can't remember." Lola says.

"Oh, right. Wait, where are you even living?" Leni asked.

"Get this, I'm a runaway. There's this evil orphanage that abuses all the children there. I'm planning on setting them free so we can all leave Michigan and go somewhere else." Lola says.

"What?!" Leni asked.

"Yeah, I gotta save them." Lola says.

"Oh, um, good luck." Leni says.

"I need your help." Lola says.

"Okay, I'll totes help." Leni says.

Meanwhile, Luna and the others finished.

"Thanks, guys." Sid says.

The siblings smile and leave the zoo. When they got home, they saw Luke in tears.

Lucy was holding him "Guys, he's broken. Mentally broken." Lucy says, looking down "And I couldn't even help him." Lucy says.

Luke shakes and sobs as he sees the pictures from Sid's party.

Luna tried to reassure Luke, but Luke refused to listen.

"It's okay, maybe you can go to Ronnie Anne's birthday in the future or a different friend." Luna says.

"NO! I'll never attend a party again unless it's mine." Luke sobbed. "I'll never be invited again!"

"Mom's birthday is in 3 days." Lisa says.

"About that…" Charity says. "I've decided not to celebrate this year."

"Why?" Lincoln asked.

"Right now, Luke's my top priority. And to try to celebrate my birthday with a party in 3 days would just set him off. So, I decided I'm going to spend that day with Luke." Charity says. "Me and Luke haven't had a mother-son day in months, so we're going to do that on my birthday."

Lisa began to reconsider celebrating her birthday in August. She deeply cared about Luke and did want him to be happy. But that wasn't the reason she didn't want to celebrate.

"Wait, where's Leni?" Lincoln asked

"She ditched us for Lola. As far as I'm concerned, she's not my sister." Lana says.

Luke started to tear up pictures from past parties.

"I never got a good party…" Luke says

"What about your half-birthday party I planned?" Lucy asked

"I liked it. The only good party I ever had." Luke tells Lucy.

Luke then plans to ruin the next family birthday that comes up, but he won't ruin his own mother's birthday.

Angry9guy: Yeah, I know yet another sad story. You are all asking me "Why all the sadness in a kids' show?" Well, you're talking to a guy who watches Bleach and Naruto. You should be grateful we're doing this. I can go darker, trust me, I can. Just say the word folks, say it, so I can go pure dark mode. Okay, the next chapter is about Charity and Luke.
