On the 21st, Lola woke up on her anniversary. It was also a school day.
Lola groans and gets ready for school.
"Yearbook picture day, sis!" Lana reminds her.
"Today might not be so bad." Lola says.
Luke is having a fashion crisis as he explores his closet.
"I'll help." Leni says.
Luke looked over every possible option with Leni.
"Why not Arctic blue?" Leni asked.
"I don't know…" Luke says.
Leni thought and picked out an Arctic blue t-shirt that said "Star Student". Luke looked at it, then took the shirt and put it in his backpack. "I'll wear that after my picture." Luke says. Leni nods.
Luke takes out two different argyle vests. "Which one brings out my eyes?" He asked.
Leni thinks as Luke waits. She points at the first one, which is a dark blue vest with an Arctic blue argyle pattern on it.
He puts the chosen vest over his long-sleeved ice blue dress shirt. He then puts on his khaki pants, blue argyle socks, and his nicest shoes. He combs his hair and gives himself another once-over to make sure he's ready for yearbook picture day.
Lola was doing her hair.
"This will be a great picture day." Lola says.
At the middle school, Luke walks in. Some students cheer, seeing Luke.
Luke smirked and walked to class.
Lola came into her class with style. Her friends cheered.
Soon it was time for the pictures. The elementary school yearbook pictures were first.
Lola came up and got her picture taken. Lola smiled, showing lots of style.
Lana goes next and smiled for the camera.
At the middle school, Luke was waiting for his turn. Soon, it was his turn to take a picture. He smiled his best smile and turned on a little charm in the process.
After school, everyone looks at their pictures.
Lucy smiled a bit as her picture was actually nice for a change.
Lola liked how her picture came out.
Everyone loved Luke's picture. Even Charity.
"Pumpkin, this is your best school picture yet!" Charity says to Luke.
"This is Lucy's first school picture." Lincoln says.
Luke was smiling at Charity and hugging her.
Soon, they were having dinner. Charity finished eating and went to the kitchen, then returned with a pink cake that was slathered in sprinkles. She then set it before Lola.
"Happy Anniversary!" Everyone says to Lola.
"Aw, thanks…." Lola says.
"Now let's eat this cake and celebrate!" Charity says.
Lola smiled and hugged Charity. Charity hugged Lola back.
Soon, they begin to eat the cake. Something else had happened at school today as Lola smiled knowingly at Luke.
"What?" Luke asked.
"Well…it was more than just picture day today at our school…" Lincoln says.
"Do tell!" Luna says.
Luke hides under the table.
"Someone made the Superintendent's Honor Roll at school for getting all A's…" Lincoln says.
The attention was on Luke. "We're so proud of you!" Lori says.
"And that's why we got him a cake!" Lana says as Lucy reveals an Arctic blue cake that says "Congratulations to Luke, our honored star student!"
Luke comes out from under the table.
Lucy lit the candles as everyone sang to Luke. Luke hissed.
Luke wished that his half-birthday would be good. He hissed again before blowing the candles out.
"What's wrong?" Lana asked.
Luke says nothing as he cuts his congratulatory cake and gives everyone a piece, giving himself three slices.
After eating the cake, he storms upstairs.
"Luke, what's wrong?" Lucy asked, concerned.
"I heard Lynn say she was gonna…stuff me…in the suit again…" Luke says, shaking. Lincoln hears Luke and runs to his room, knowing what's coming.
Lucy goes to Lynn. "Lynn, just why?" Lucy asked.
"What gives, dudette?!" Luna asked.
"Start talking!" Luan says.
"Guys, I can do this myself." Lucy says.
"I asked them to join you." Charity says.
"Please let me do this." Lucy says.
"Luna and Luan care about Luke, too, honey. Let them help." Charity says.
"Lynn will open up if I'm alone with her." Lucy says.
"Okay, sweetie." Charity says, taking Luna and Luan as the three of them go to check on Luke.
"Lynn, please, I know you can do better than this." Lucy says.
"He won't come to my basketball game next month, so I threatened him again…I guess I didn't learn much from being in juvenile detention…" Lynn said shamefully.
"Please don't hurt Luke like that again." Lucy says as Lynn looks down, ashamed.
That night, Lynn was running away. Lucy tried to follow Lynn, but Lynn was fast. Lynn knew she couldn't stay if she kept having the urge to hurt Luke again.
She knew her competitive side was getting the better of her and she just wanted Luke to help her win. But winning wasn't worth it if all she did was keep hurting Luke.
"Lynn…" Lucy says.
Lynn stops and goes to Lucy. "Lucy, goodbye. I can't stay. I just have this urge inside me to hurt Luke. I don't know why." She says.
"Good-bye." Lucy says sadly.
"Wait, we can run away together." Lynn says.
"Really?" Lucy asked. Lynn nods.
Lucy thinks. Should she run away?
"I'll go so I can help you." Lucy said. She had a plan: Help Lynn with her urges.
The next day, the Moon Goats had a concert.
Luke wasn't there. At all. He didn't feel like being anywhere today.
Lucy finds Sally.
"Lynn, remember her, the one who took you away?" Lucy asked.
Lynn crossed her arms. But she was determined to get help.
"I can help you, but you need to tell me more. Where did your urges start?" Sally says.
Lynn told her everything.
"I can't control myself. It's like I want Luke to be hurt…" Lynn sobbed.
"Did Luke do anything to you or do you just secretly hate him?" Sally said.
"I secretly hate him. He doesn't go to my games or spend any time with me." Lynn says.
"Listen, he has to live his own life. He has his own things that he likes to do." Sally says.
"I know. It's just…I want to have time with him, too…" Lynn says.
"You know he's different. He has friends that he hangs out with." Sally says.
"I wanna change, but I can't. It's just hard." Lynn says.
"Lynn, you can change." Sally says.
"How?" She asked.
"It's simple. You need to let go of your hate." Sally says.
