Lucy wakes up and noticed the siblings preparing a special breakfast and walked off to be with Lincoln.

Lincoln woke up. "Morning, Luce." Lincoln says and gets ready

Meanwhile, the siblings were celebrating Luan's birthday. She was turning 15.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Lincoln asked as Lucy looked on, unaware.

"It's a birthday party for Luan." Lynn says.

Lucy looked confused.

"What's a birthday party?" Lucy asked Lincoln quietly. Lincoln explains.

Lucy looked down remembering now.

3 year old Lucy saw that it was her birthday and walked to her dad who spanked and beat her with a cigar causing her to sob.

Lucy looked down.

Lincoln noticed this and hugged her.

"Guys, Lucy has never had a proper birthday because of our birth parents and Morag." Lincoln said, still holding Lucy.

Luan is soon looking away by this point.

Lucy has disappeared.

"Luan, check this out!" Lori says as they made a nice breakfast for her. Luan gasped at the sight, especially the "funny-side-up" eggs.

"You guys, this is amazing!" Luan says.

"What's a funny-side-up egg?" Lincoln asked.

"A special egg dish dad made for Luan. It's an egg with a square yolk." Lynn answered.

"Wow, that sounds pretty cool…" Lincoln said before noticing Lucy was gone.

"Hey, where's Lucy?" Lincoln asked.

"This is Luan's day." Lola says.

Some time later, Luan's boyfriend, Benny, comes over.

"Hey, Benny." Luan says Luan says, smiling. "What's up? The party isn't till 5 p.m."

"Who's this?" Lincoln asked, confused.

"Benny Stein, nice to meet you." Benny says to Lincoln. "I'm Luan's boyfriend."

"Nice. Luan, I'm happy for you. Oh, I'm Lincoln Loud." he says.

"Wait, Luan said there was a new sister, too. Where is she?" He asked.

"Lucy's afraid of strangers. She's off hiding." Lincoln says.

"Oh, okay." Benny says. He pulls out a necklace box.

"Oh, Benny!" Luan says.

"I got you this at the jewelry store in the mall. From the birthstone necklace collection." Benny says with a smile.

Luan kisses him and puts on the emerald necklace.

Soon the siblings except Lucy start decorating for the party.

Luan is talking to Benny about the others that would be at her party, especially her friends Ruby, Shannon, Lyberti, Rob, and Spencer.

"That's nice." Benny says.

"They're your friends, too, you know." Luan says. "And today is also your birthday. Technically, we both turn 15 today."

"You did remember." Benny says.

"Yes, I always remember." Luan says.

"Lincoln, can I talk with you for a second? I discovered something you need to see." Sally said.

"Sure." Lincoln said.

"No!" Lola says, pulling him away.

"What gives?!" Lincoln asked.

"Don't worry, it'll only take a minute or two." Sally said, grabbing Lincoln and heading to the backyard.

"Okay, Sally, what is it?" Lincoln asked.

"First, where's Lucy?" Sally asked.

"Right here." Lucy said, appearing out of nowhere, scaring Sally and Lincoln.

"Okay, now, then. I discovered why Morag was interested in you two. Turns out you two are descended from Scottish royalty, specifically in a town called Loch pack." Sally said.

"Oh." Lucy says and goes off.

"That's nice. But today is an important day in the family. The first double birthday celebration and the fact Luan turns 15. It's nice for me to know that now, and I appreciate the information." Lincoln says.

Sally smiled.

Soon, everyone got the party together. Luan and Benny were out at a drama club rehearsal and would be back at 4:30.

Luna was admiring the cake that Lori helped Lynn Sr. make for the birthday couple. It looked like the comedy & tragedy masks that Luan and Benny study about in their drama club.

Lucy goes to be alone again.

Lincoln reads the banners hanging up in the living room.

It said "Happy 15th Birthday, Luan and Benny!"

Lincoln was in awe of this decoration.

Soon, Luan and Benny came into the house.

"Happy birthday, Luan and Benny!" the siblings and some of their friends said.

Luan had tears of joy.

"Thank you guys." Luan said.

Sally smiled at this display.

Soon, the party began as Benny and Luan danced.

"Those two are so cute together." Sally said.

"Yeah, now how should we tell everyone about our discovery?" Lucy asked.

"Let's deal with that later. For now, let's enjoy the party." Lincoln said.

Lucy goes to be alone but noticed a girl named Maggie come in with Haiku.

Luan and Benny smiled eating spaghetti before they ended up kissing.

Lincoln noticed a girl with black hair, tanned skin, and a red and white t-shirt with a black skirt and suddenly felt his heart pounding.

Later, Luan and Benny were opening gifts. They started with the gifts from their friend Ruby.

Ruby had got them matching t-shirts

"Aw, thanks" Benny says to Ruby.

Lori gives her gift. It was tickets to a comedy festival.

"Thank you Lori!" Luan says.

"No problem." Lori says.

They opened Luna's gifts next.

It was some rock music charms.

"So cool!" Luan says as Leni made them matching shirts with them kissing.

Lynn got Benny a new suit for his mascot job.

As the party went on, Lucy runs away, not wanting to be anywhere near the house.

Luan and Benny danced as she realized Lucy was Missing " Where's Lucy?" Luan asked

" She left" Rudy says

As the party went on, Lucy runs away, not wanting to be anywhere near the house.

Luan and Benny danced as she realized Lucy was missing. "Where's Lucy?" Luan asked.

"She left." Ruby says.

"What?! Benny please help me find my sister, she's too young?" Luan pleaded realizing she had been too caught up in her party to notice Lucy was always uncomfortable around big crowds

"We'll come too." Lincoln said as he and Sally came in.

Lincoln soon finds her as Lucy was at a graveyard

"We don't belong here." Lucy says.

"What do you mean? Of course we belong." Lincoln says

"Lincoln, look at us, we don't have blonde or brown hair, we don't like what the other sisters like and you know how I get in big crowds." Lucy said crying. "Sometimes I wish we were back in that orphanage."

"Lucy, no, it's dangerous!" Lincoln says.

"Well, at least it wasn't as crowded. Every week, we saw other orphans come and I just want some quiet for once." Lucy said.

Lucy runs off as the other Louds had heard everything.

"So that's what we are? Noisy animals?" Lola asked Lincoln, looking offended

"Guys Lucy just wanted some space and quiet. She was always like that even before me and her became orphans." Lincoln said.

Luan felt guilty and then ran off to find Lucy.

Lucy was running as a car rammed into Lucy as Luan froze in terror.

Morag hid in the bushes watching this. "The plan worked." she laughed as Lucy was hurt badly.

The other Louds came and Lincoln ran to the injured Lucy.

"LUCY!" Lincoln said in fear and shock.
