On Stephen's birthday the next day, Luke came as he saw Stephen waving at him.

Luke smiles as he approaches Stephen.

Minutes later, Stephen was frowning.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked.

"I think everyone else forgot about my party…." Stephen says sadly.

Haiku even felt bad.

Stephen sits on a bench by the mini-golf course's castle and proceeds to sob.

Lucy knew why, but didn't say why.

"Worst birthday ever…." Stephen says.

Lucy realized the guests were probably mad that Luke got invited. But that wasn't the reason. Not by a long shot. The reason none of Stephen's other party guests have shown up is because of Remy's party being today as well.

Stephen sobbed as Luke sat with him, taking pity on him.

"They forgot my birthday….." Stephen sobbed.

Haiku heads off.

At Remy's party, he was hiding behind a couch.

What Stephen didn't know was that Remy had actually planned a party for him. Everyone was there, waiting for Stephen to show up.

Remy texted Luke to bring Stephen. Luke does just that.

"Why did you bring me to Remy's house, Luke?" Stephen asked sadly. "I know everyone else forgot about my 13th birthday."

"Wait for it…" Luke says and opens the door as confetti falls on Stephen.

"Surprise! Happy 13th birthday, Stephen!" Everyone shouted and cheered.

Stephen gasped and looked around and smiled a bit.

The other siblings were doing their things as Lucy was looking in the mirror before sneezing. "I need a makeover." she says.

She also thought of Luke's upcoming birthday as she began planning it.

Soon, it was December 5th as she went shopping for items. Luke wasn't with her.

"Okay, Luke's favorite stuff…" Lucy says and starts getting everything she'd need for the party.

She got toys and snacks.

Luke was at the toy store, crying in a corner. Lucy found him.

"Luke?" Lucy asked. Luke was hissing and sobbing.

Lucy had a list.

"Would you like to choose your cake? I was on my way." Lucy says with a cart. Luke brightens up.

"Okay!" Luke says, smiling.

Lucy took him with her.

They soon arrive at the bakery section and Lucy shows Luke the bakery's cake book.

Luke looks at it, smiling as he looks at every cake design in it. There were a lot of choices.

Luke looks and cries.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"I can't choose!" Luke sobbed.

"Which two designs do you like best?" Lucy asked.

Luke tells her.

Lucy chose an Ace Savvy cake for the first party and a Mario Kart cake for the second party. Luke was beaming.

Lucy buys the cakes and smiles at Luke.

Leni was buying Luke and Lucy gifts. She found things that they liked.

"This should do it." Leni thought and sent invites to Luke's friends.

Soon, Lucy came home after her long day with Luke. Luke was smiling as Charity saw them come in.

"There's my ray of sunshine!" Charity says to Luke.

Lucy puts the stuff for Luke's party away safely so no one would mess with it.

"We went shopping for my cakes!" Luke says.

"That's wonderful, cupcake!" Charity says. "You'll be 12 in a few more days, my precious treasure…."

Luke gets hungry, and Charity takes him to the kitchen to help with dinner.

The next day Lincoln had a field trip as he and Clyde smiled.

"I'm so excited!" Clyde says.

"Me, too!" Lincoln says.

Meanwhile everyone in class talks about Luke's upcoming birthday and both of his parties. Luke smiles, hearing them talk.

At lunch, Luke is very happy.

"You all are invited!" Luke says, smiling.

Everyone cheers.

On the 14th, Luke's happiness is short-lived.

Lucy groaned, waking up. Today was the day she dreaded every year.

Lucy climbed out the window and headed to school alone.

She made sure no one noticed her.

At the manor, everyone else was at breakfast.

"Where did Lucy go?" Lincoln asked.

"To be alone like I will." Lisa says.

At school, Luke sat alone. He wasn't smiling. Garrett finds him.

"Are you okay?" Garrett asked Luke. Luke is starting to sob.

Everyone turned to look at Luke and comforted him the best they could.

During lunch, Luke ate by himself. His friends join him. He's stabbing his chicken nuggets with a fork.

"Are you okay?" Stephen asked.

"NO!" Luke shouted.

"What happened?" Garrett asked. Luke just cries and hisses.

"Please talk?" Garrett asked.

"LUKE HATES!" Luke hissed.

"Please explain….I don't understand." Stephen says.

"Luke hates his siblings!" Luke screams.

That afternoon, Luke sees the siblings have stuff for Lucy. He feels angry and runs away from home.

"They never loved Luke!" Luke hissed as he went and looked for a new family.

Luke ran far away from home, and ended up at his cousins' doorstep.

He explained everything about how none of his old family loved him.

"This is why I never wanted siblings in the first place!" Luke hissed. Preston took him into the house.

Luke threw a fit. "This is Lucy's fault! Because of her, my spotlight is gone!" Luke hisses. Preston manages to calm Luke down.

The police came to take the Louds to jail for child negligence.

Luna gasped when she saw the police cars.

"You're under arrest for neglecting Luke Huntington!" An officer says as they begin taking everyone but Lily away.

Charity sighed and went to find Luke.

She soon finds him. "Luke, are you okay?" She asked

"I never want to see them again! I called the cops and filed an order to have them removed from Royal Woods! No one steals my spotlight, no one!" He says.

"You wouldn't let them reveal the surprise, sweetheart." Charity says. "Because none of that back home was for Lucy…."

"What?!" Luke asked and looked down.

"Fine, release them. If one thing goes wrong, they die." Luke hissed.

The police officers released the Louds as they looked shocked.

"Someone better tell me what's going on…." Luke says.

They soon head to the manor and show him what they did for him.

"Surprise!" They say.

"It's…it's…" Luke is stunned.

There were decorations and gifts for Luke and Luke alone, also food he likes.

Lucy smiled, having given her day to Luke.

That night Leni had made a new dress for Lucy.

"Oh, Rocky wanted to go on a date. He claimed that you love midnight dates." Leni says and noticed Lucy was blushing.

She soon goes to see a grave "This would have been your 200th birthday." Lucy says sadly to her Great Grandma Harriet.

The next day, Luke lays in his room, shedding tears.

"They forgot…" Luke says, not even giving them a chance and runs away.

"Luke, wait, please…you didn't even give us a chance!" Lucy says, looking heartbroken. Luke looks back as Lucy shows him the birthday breakfast they made.

"Happy birthday, Luke!" Everyone says. Luke looks at the big breakfast spread on the table. There were eggs, bacon, pancakes, biscuits, and 4 kinds of juice. Luke was surprised to see it all.

"This is amazing…." Luke says as he gets a little bit of everything.

After breakfast, he was practicing for today's pageant.

The Louds were going to support him.

He then finishes practice and starts working out in the manor's gym as he does gymnastics.

Meanwhile, the others get dressed for Luke's pageant, which is the annual "Glitz & Gumdrops" co-ed pageant, meaning girls and guys are competing in it.

"I'm not a pageant girl." Ronnie Anne says.

"But I am." A girl says, coming up. Her name was Tina.

Luke was getting ready. The Louds took their seats for the pageant.

Soon, it began with Luke modeling his suit for the judges and crowd.

Lana cheered. Luke couldn't help but feel sad inside after walking offstage.

Lucy finds him. "What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

Luke gritted his teeth. "Nothing." He says.

"Please talk to me." Lucy says.

Luke sighed. "My birthday is over now, right?" He asked.

"No." Lucy says.

Luke goes off to get ready for the talent round and he watches the other contestants.

He sighed as Tina went up, watching her model for everyone. Luke cries, thinking he'll lose.

It was soon time for the talent round. Luke felt nervous.

The siblings reassured him. Then he came out and did his "Ice Cream Freeze" routine.

The crowd went wild for Luke. Luke grinned and walked offstage.

As the pageant progressed, Luke was more confident. Soon, he won the Ultimate Grand Supreme title.

Everyone cheered before singing "Happy Birthday" to Luke. Luke smiles at all the attention.

After the pageant, his smile fades.

"My day is over now…." Luke says sadly. "I knew it."

"We have a surprise for you." Lucy says.

Luke looks unconvinced. He also knew his friends forgot his birthday.

They soon lead him to the party as the lights turned on. Luke's friends and fans came up to surprise him. "Happy birthday, Luke!" They say.

Luke was surprised by this as he looks around.

There were decorations everywhere and gifts, and even a bounce house and party games. Luke was stunned by this. He had thought his friends forgot about his 12th birthday today.

Garrett offered his gift to Luke. It was an Ace Savvy T-shirt.

"For me? Thank you!" Luke says and changes into the shirt before opening Remy's gift.

It was an Ace Savvy video game. Luke was beaming as he hugged Remy.

"Thanks, Remy!" Luke says.

"No problem!" Remy says.

Luke sees Leni's gift, seeing gifts for America's Next Hitmaker. Luke smiles at these gifts.

Then he sees Ronnie Anne's gift and smiles. He opens it, seeing new pom-poms.

"Just what I needed!" Luke says.

After that, Luke plays some games that Lisa made. He was really enjoying them.

"So fun!" Luke says.

After the games, everyone sits down to eat.

Luke got the first servings, eating his favorite food. He smiled as he ate the meal.

He then finishes eating as he sees the Card Shark piñata.

Lucy offered him a bat and he took it. He then broke the piñata open, watching the candy spill out.

Luke smiled and got his share.

Soon the lights went out. At this point, Luke thought his party was over. He just turned his back and began to walk away.

The lights came back on, revealing a nice Arctic blue cake with Ace Savvy on it as everyone was there around it. Luke just looks down at the floor with his back still turned.

"Luke, honey…." Charity says. "Are you okay?"

"What's wrong? Did I screw up?" Lucy asked.

"You can tell us." Leni says to Luke

Luke's tears overtake his eyes and he runs out of the party, sobbing.

"We failed and he will never forgive me!" Lucy says.

"Maybe if you asked why he's feeling this way, he wouldn't be that upset." Charity says. "None of you failed. This is just something he's dealing with."

Luna finds Luke.

"Luke, what's wrong?" Luna asked.

"All those years of my birthday at the old house came back to me. They considered me bad luck from the start. ESPECIALLY her…" Luke hissed.

"It's okay, Luke." Luna says and sits with him until he calms down.

"I thought my birthday was meant to celebrate me. But it doesn't seem like that anymore. It'll always be riddled with those memories of my 'bad luck accusation' birthdays and I won't be able to make any good memories happen on this day ever again…" Luke sniffed.

"You will. I promise we'll give you good memories. On your birthday and every day." Luna says. Luke sniffed.

After a while they returned as the lights were off.

Luke shook before the lights lit up revealing a double layer cake that said "Happy Birthday and Congratulations On Your Sweet Pageant Victory, Luke!". Lucy put 12 candles on it.

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked. "I promise I'll make tomorrow better." She says desperately.

Luke nods, silently watching Charity light the candles on the cake.

Soon, everyone began to sing to Luke. Luke was forcing himself to smile.

Luke wished for better birthdays and blew out the candles as Leni took a picture of him.

Later, a news crew came, asking Luke for an interview.

"Me?" Luke asked. The reporter nodded.

Luke agreed. The interview began as they asked Luke about his victories and his past birthdays. Luke poured out everything on camera. People gasp as they watch.

After this, Lisa made a laser light show for Luke, then shot fireworks as everyone clapped.

Lucy had headed off to be alone. She remembered meeting Luke as she had been attempting to avoid her own birthday.

"Sigh. I blew it." Lucy says.

"You didn't." Charity says. "Luke can't help remembering those things. You know that."

"And I failed to finish the ritual. Great Grandma Harriet probably hates me." Lucy says.

Luna finds Luke laying in his room as he cries himself to sleep.

"Luke, are you okay?" Luna asked. "I'm sorry you had to go through that." Luna says.

Luke sniffed as Luna tucks him in.

The siblings vowed to give Luke the best birthday ever tomorrow.
