Songs playing for this chapter: "Under Pressure" by Queen and "Funhouse" by P!nk
Lucy barely managed to make it home via magic. She noticed a mob at the manor. They wanted Lucy out of Royal Woods.
Lucy was shaking, having a panic attack. She knew she was screwed. The cops were banging on the door as Lucy was scared. Charity let them in.
"Lucy Huntington, we're receiving a lot of complaints about you trying to kill Luke." A cop says
"I-I would never try to kill Luke!" Lucy says.
"We saw your fake blood." Sutton says.
"Where are you taking me?" Lucy asked.
"Somewhere where you can't hurt Luke anymore." Sutton says.
"Please, no, I can prove it wasn't me!" Lucy says.
She ran to Lincoln but tripped. She was hurt.
"Lucy!" Luan says, helping her up. "What happened?"
Lucy explained everything.
"I can relate, actually. You getting jealous of Luke on Halloween is like me on April Fools' Day. We both just seem to turn into jerks on our favorite holidays. Listen, I'll help you with your issues, but… Lincoln and I know full well you only went against Luke because it was Halloween." Luan says.
"Lisa, you have footage?" Lincoln asked. Lisa nodded. It showed Lucy not wanting to do it, but she was pushed.
"Chandler…he's been trying to tear Lucy and Luke apart for years, just to torture me." Lincoln says as Clyde pats his back.
"What can we do?" Luan asked.
"Easy. The police know who really did this." Lisa says as Lucy goes to her room. She lost everything, thanks to her actions. Her club, her friends, and her reputation.
She began to cry as Lisa talked to the police. They arrest Chandler.
On November 8th, Brandy invited the group to his house to work on the project.
Luke was sulking because Brandy hated his idea. Garrett and Stephen were already looking up facts. In his defense, Brandy hates things he doesn't know. It makes him look dumb.
The group works for 3 hours. Luke smiles as he finishes his parts of it.
"This looks amazing!" Luke says.
Brandy had major trouble and cried.
"Ugh, give me the paper." Alem tuber groaned and did lots of typing. He usually helped Angry Luigi in homework a lot.
"Anyway, the anniversary is on the 12th. You 3 can come if you want." Alem tuber says heading off to see Lynn.
The boys leave. Garrett and Luke head home and Stephen went off to help his parents at their bakery.
Charity checks on Lucy
"I know you're disappointed in me, sigh." Lucy sighed.
"I'm not. I know you never hurt him on purpose." Charity says.
"But if I never went up there that night, it wouldn't have happened. I have no friends or anything anymore." Lucy says.
"Luan told me what really happened." Charity says. "You need to eat. You've been through a lot and for the record, you look cute with glasses." Charity says as Lucy smiled a bit. "You don't need that club anymore. You can think for yourself."
"But I do need them. All my awards and my friends." Lucy says.
"Were those goths your friends when they told you to win for them, at the risk of hurting Luke?" Charity asked.
Lucy shook her head, crying, just realizing that she was peer pressured.
"You won, but it cost you more than your relationship with Luke. Luke was crushed when he saw you win at the expense of earning your friends' respect." Charity says. "Those weren't friends. Those were users. They used you to hurt Luke. You need to find better friends."
Lucy broke down at this. They cost her everything. Charity held her as she cried.
With Luke, he sat in his room at Garrett's house, staring out the window in stony silence.
"Leni! What did I say about cooking?!" Luna screamed offscreen.
"Sorry!" Leni says offscreen.
Luna comes in. "What pizza do you want?" Luna asked.
"Just plain cheese is fine." Luke says glumly.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked. She could see Luke wasn't looking forward to the 12th at all. Garrett wasn't going as he had plans with the basketball team that day after school.
"Luke, you can tell me." Luna says.
He explained. "Do I even have to go?" Luke asked.
"You mean Brandy's party?" Luna asked.
"It's their hero team's anniversary." Luke sighed.
"Sure, it's nice that your friends are inviting you more often." Luna says, knowing some of his friends never invite him.
"That's not the point, Luna!" Luke snapped.
"What's your point?" Luna asked.
"I. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. GO. TO. THAT. PARTY!" Luke shouted.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to." Luna says.
Garrett sees half of the house except Luke's room had ashes as Leni looked guilty. Garrett teared up. A lot of his basketball stuff was gone.
"I'm so sorry…" Leni says.
Garrett sobbed against his father.
"My axe! Leni, that was my favorite guitar! You burnt everything but Luke's room. Well, he is an elemental, but still, why?! Can't you be your age and grow up normally?" Luna cried.
Garrett was livid once he stopped crying. And it was very rare to see Garrett like this as he rarely blew a fuse.
"ALL OF MY NEW YORK KNICKS MERCH? GONE! ALL OF MY GEAR FOR BASKETBALL SEASON?! GONE! MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR LUKE THAT I BOUGHT IN JULY? GONE! EVERYTHING THAT I EVER LOVED EXCEPT FOR MY WHEELCHAIR AND THE CLOTHES ON MY BACK, ARE G-O-N-E, GONE, GONE, GONE!" Garrett screamed.
Leni looked ashamed.
"Good grief, why are you such an airhead? Leni, I wish you were normal!" Luna screamed as Leni ran off.
"Go ahead, I never wanna see your stupid face again!" Luna screamed as she called Sam, crying.
"For once, nothing really bad happened to me." Luke says, stunned. He then hugged Garrett close as he sobbed.
Leni knocks on Charity's manor, sobbing. Charity heard everything from across the street and knew how ugly it got. Heck, the whole neighborhood heard it.
"I-I…" Leni sobbed.
"Luna snapped and called you out, wishing you were normal. We know." Lisa says.
"I hate being autistic…" Leni sobbed.
"Wait, Luna mocked your disability? That's low…" Lisa says.
"I saw the fire department across the street, too." Charity says. "The Millers literally lost a lot…"
Skylia ran up as Angry Luigi took out a water flower and shot water, then thought of something.
"I think my mom can use magic." Angry Luigi says.
"I can try." Skylia says and chants a spell, restoring the damage. Garrett and Forest are stunned.
Skylia used a spell, making sure the citizens forget about the fire.
