On June 11th, there was a big fight.
Big Owl was shooting poison feathers as Alem tuber dodged. Alex leaped and kicked Big Owl.
Big Owl punched Alex as Angry Luigi took out a fire flower, turning into Fire Angry Luigi, tossing fireballs at Big Owl. Big Owl dodged.
Savannah watched as Big Owl flew around dodging fireballs. Alem tuber smirked and kicked Big Owl and rushed in, but Oliver flew in as Alem Tuber looked confused.
"Hey, I got this!" Alem tuber says. Big Owl tries to fly away as Alem tuber grabbed him.
Oliver blasted Alem tuber by mistake.
On the 15th, Luan came to Luke's room. She made his half birthday breakfast. But Luke wasn't there.
The siblings try looking for Luke. They look in all his usual spots first.
Lisa took out her tracker to help in the search.
"I got it." Lisa says.
They see Luke with his friends. Luke hissed.
"Happy half-birthday, Luke." Leni says. Luke started to cry.
"No one cares about Luke!" Luke cried.
"That isn't true, Luke!" Lori says.
Luke looks at them. "You forgot!" Luke hissed.
"No, we didn't." Lori says.
Luke sniffed as Lucy hugged him.
"You said you had plans today!" Luke hissed.
"We canceled them for you." Lola says.
Luke hissed. "Yeah, right!" He says.
"What did you want to do before your party?" Lola asked.
"BREAKFAST FIRST!" Luke hissed.
They led him to the house and there was a big breakfast buffet with all his favorites. Luke was surprised.
"Happy half-birthday, Luke!" They say.
"You did remember!" Luke says.
They smile as Luke begins to eat. Soon, he finished. Then he left the house.
Lucy tried to follow him. But Luke hissed and went to look for his friends.
They find him, having bought Luke tickets to see a Broadway production of Hairspray. Luke squealed and hugged his friends.
The siblings decorated while Luke was out. He was turning 13 and a half this year.
Lucy was stressed out, trying to make everything perfect. Then her body collapsed.
Luke came back before the show and saw this. He hissed and ran away.
"Luke!" Lynn says as Lori ran after him.
"Luke!" Lori says. Luke just ran off, crying. Lori caught up to him and hugged him.
"Hey, listen, Lucy's going to celebrate you. We're almost done decorating." Lori says.
Luke just sobbed more. "I knew you all had plans today!" He said.
"Look, we're celebrating you, why can't you see that?" Lori asked.
Lori's sternness in her voice sent Luke running.
Luke was at the show a few minutes later. Garrett could see the tears in his eyes, and not because of the show's sad parts.
After the show, Luke goes to be alone.
"His show should be over by now…" Lisa says.
"Can we go to see a David Steele movie on my birthday?" Lincoln asked.
"No, dude, I'm too busy." Luna says.
"I have a gig." Luan says.
Luna soon finds Luke.
"Hey, Luke I got a surprise for you. It might just cheer you up…" Luna says. But her expression changed when she saw Luke sobbing his heart out.
"Luke, talk to me, okay?" Luna says.
He tells her how stern most of the siblings were with him before he went to the show with his friends.
"Don't mind them, okay?" Luna says.
"They yelled….yelled at Luke. They tried to hurt me…they grabbed my wrists…" Luke sniffed.
"Look, let's deal with that tomorrow and celebrate your half-birthday today." Luna says. But deep down, she could see Luke felt shaken.
She soon leads him to the party as confetti falls on him. Luke's friends and siblings pop out.
"Happy half-birthday, Luke!" they say.
There were lots of decorations. But Luke backed away, scared. Garrett saw the fear in his eyes. And so did Stephen.
"Guys, I think you should go." Luna says.
"Whatever." Lynn says as the siblings leave as Luna holds him. After some time, she offered her gift. Luke sniffed.
"Hey, hey…it's going to be okay." Garrett says to Luke. "They can't hurt you anymore."
Chalice does a dance to try and cheer him up.
Later, Lori pushed Luke into a bowl of punch and was escorted out by Lonnie's parents, who were the head sergeants of the Royal Woods Police Department. And Luke was sobbing uncontrollably, sucking his thumb in the fetal position.
"Luke…I'm going to be honest. I'm a…" Luna says and looks away from Luke, ashamed.
Chalice got Luke a clean half-birthday suit, which he changed into before clinging to her and Mugman.
"Look, it's your half-birthday. I'm sure nothing bad will happen." She says, pulling him to the dance floor.
Luke loosened up a little when he danced with Chalice.
Charity pulled Luna aside. Luna broke into sobs.
"You have five minutes to explain yourself, young lady!" Charity screamed.
"I was g-getting my axe so I could perform a song for him, then Lori did it. I'm so sorry." Luna sobbed.
"What did you and Lori do?!" Charity asked sternly.
"Luna did nothing wrong. She wasn't stern with him; she just wanted to sing to him. Why can't you see that Luna just wanted to make your son happy?" Sam says.
"She was going to admit something to him." Charity says. "And I have a feeling he didn't need to hear it."
"I'm a horrible guardian!" Luna sobbed. "I said it!"
"Honey, you aren't. Luan had also told me Lori had gone back to her abusive ways and that's why she was stern with Luke. And apparently, she told Lynn to help her hurt Luke. So, Lynn is back in juvenile detention for what she did, and Lori is going back to jail and is going to attend counseling in prison." Charity says. "Their lives are going to fall apart again because of this."
"Not Lynn! Lucy really wanted to help her. Lori just had to ruin Lynn and Lucy's work." Luna says.
"Well, I'll talk to the detention facility's owner and see if Lynn can get a reduced sentence. For now, Lori's got a lot to think about while she rots in her prison cell." Charity says.
Meanwhile, Garrett got Luke tickets to see San Antonio Spurs games for the next 6 months. He smiled at this.
Cuphead got him a new game as Luke smiled. He hugged Cuphead.
He opened the gifts from his good siblings.
Lincoln got him a new Ace Savvy comic. Luke thanked Lincoln.
Leni got him a new suit. He hugged Leni.
After gifts, Luke sees a throne and a crown. He was surprised by this.
Luke got to sit on it as Luan gave him a show. Luke puts on the crown.
Luan tells jokes as Luke smiled. Then Lola gave a pageant show.
After that, it was piñata time. Luke hit the piñata harshly as candy fell out. Luke took his share and goes to be alone.
Lucy woke up with a goose egg on her head and she had bruises.
"What happened?" Lucy asked.
"Lori and Lynn attacked you." Rita says "Lori knew you'd be overprotective over Luke. I wish things were back to the way they were before we split!" Rita sobbed, but knew she'd never have custody of any of her other kids other than Lily.
Meanwhile, Luke sees a highlight reel as he smiles, watching his best moments. After that, everyone got to eat.
Luke ate in silence as Luna began to play a song. Luke looked up at Luna and smiled.
She played his favorite song. He danced a little and then just went off to be alone. After that, Luna came and sat next to him.
"I'm sorry that you're not having a good time, Luke." Luna says. "I know you're not happy right now."
Garrett and the others lead Luke to a ball pit to play. Luke manages a smile.
Soon, one of Luke's favorite musical artists came to perform for Luke. He was surprised by this.
Luna wanted him to be happy. But she could feel his unhappiness. She knew he was unhappy because he was hurting. She saw him smile for a few brief moments as he was called up on stage.
As Luke performed on stage, Luna thought of what to do to actually make him happy. All he wanted was a half-birthday and a birthday he'd remember forever. So far, he never got that. Something always messed that up. And when she knew that most of her siblings were to blame for that, well, it made her even more determined to make Luke happy and make Luke feel loved.
Luke looked sadly at Luna after walking off stage. Luna looked up at him.
"It's okay, Luke, I'm here. I'm always here…" Luna says as she holds him.
Later, Luke left the party before the cake was ready. He walked off to his "secret spot" in the woods and sat in the treehouse, sobbing.
Luna looks for him. Luke just sat in the treehouse with his face buried in his knees.
Luna attempted to comfort him as she sat next to him and stroked his hair. Luke sniffed.
"Do you feel like going back to the party? Or do you just want to go home?" Luna asked Luke. At this point, she just wanted him to be comfortable.
Luke thinks for a few minutes.
"Cake. Then home." Luke says. Luna nods.
Lucy was heading to the party. She was worried when she saw Lincoln and the others.
"Where's Luke?" She asked, scaring them.
"I'm not sure." Leni says.
"Where is Lynn?" Lucy asked. Luan explained.
Luke and Luna arrived a few minutes later and saw nothing. The lights turned on as everyone was there. Luke just sat on his throne. He then hissed.
There was a big blue velvet cake. He refused to look at it. It said "Happy Halfway To 14, Luke!" There were 13 and a half candles on it.
He finally looked at it. Leni recorded this as everyone sings.
Luke thinks of a wish. He had two wishes. One was to have better siblings that wouldn't hurt him. The other wish was to have a better day about him. He blew out all the candles and just walked off.
"Don't worry, your birthday will be great." Luna says.
Luke didn't want to hear anymore. He just left the party.
