"Hey, Lucy, you wanna watch VOM with us?" Lori asked. Lucy sniffed and nodded. As they watched Lucy thinks of Harriet.

"Oh, happy birthday, Lucy." Lori says, handing her a photo of Harriet holding Lucy as a baby. Lucy smiled.


The next day, Chalice came in with Luke's birthday breakfast buffet in bed.

"Happy birthday to you, Luke!" Chalice says to Luke. Luke eats, only managing a small smile.

He then finishes his breakfast, gets dressed, and walks to school by himself.


(Yes, today is Friday. His birthday is on a Friday.)


At school, Luke had nothing to say. He wouldn't even smile.

His friends came into class. "Happy birthday, Luke!" They say.

Luke looks at them. "Th-Thanks…" he says.

"Oh, it's a happy day because of you…today's your happy, happy birthday! A special day for Lukey, too, it's a very happy 14th birthday!" Chalice sang as she brought a cupcake box to Luke's desk. Luke was speechless.

"Ooooh…" Lonnie said.

"Make a wish, Luke!" Stephen says.

He wished for his days to be perfect. He then blew out the #14-shaped candle on the cupcake.


At lunch, he thought of everything he thinks he won't get from his siblings on this day.

Lola got him a gift. It was a golden crown.

Luke sniffed. "F-For me?" He asked.

She nods and places it on his head. Luke smiled at this. But he looked down as his thoughts returned to what he wouldn't get.

"What do you think you won't get, Luke?" Stephen asked.

"No special song, no birthday outfit, no cool gifts, and no amazing birthday show. And especially no amazing birthday cake…" Luke sniffed as he told Stephen all that.


Later, Leni came to Luke's school to give him his birthday outfit. She saw how sad Luke looked as Ms. Salter was teaching the class's music lesson.

"Happy birthday, Luke…" Leni says.

"It doesn't feel happy…" Luke sniffed. Leni frowned.

"You don't want your birthday outfit?" Leni asked. Luke takes it and sniffs.

"Luke, are you okay?" Ms. Salter asked him.

"My family forgot my birthday…they never loved me. Except for Leni, I love Leni." Luke sniffed. Leni hugged Luke.


Later, Charity came to pick up Luke. She was going to take him somewhere special. Luke came out of the school, tears rolling down his face.

"Luke, what happened, sweetheart?" Charity asked.

"I know everyone but Lola and Leni f-forgot my b-b-birthday!" Luke cried.

"Luke, honey, listen…I'm sure they didn't forget your birthday…" Charity says.

"They did!" Luke screamed and sobbed.


Meanwhile, the siblings were decorating. Leni came into the house and told them what went on at the middle school today.

"I literally knew this would happen. He always gets afraid and thinks we forgot." Lori says.


With Luke, Charity took him out for ice cream at Mary Scooper's Scoop-a-Torium to try and cheer him up. It didn't work at all.

Charity tried taking him shopping. Luke threw another fit.

"Pumpkin cake, tell me why you're so mad…" Charity says.

"They're all ditchers! I wish I had a perfect birthday, but I'll never get that!" Luke sobbed.


Later, Charity blindfolded Luke. She took him to Lush Rooftop. Luke sniffed.

She removed the blindfold as confetti fell around him.

"Surprise! Happy 14th birthday, Luke!" All his siblings and friends say. Luke looked surprised, still shedding tears.

"I…I…" Luke didn't know what to say.

"You don't have to say anything." Lucy says.


Soon, Luke's birthday party begins with a magic show. Luke looked intrigued.

Skylia did magic tricks as Luke was smiling at this. She did the classic rabbit in the hat trick, coin behind the ear, and summoning flowers.


After that, Luke opens Charity's gift. Luke looked at it.

It was something he always wanted, a new Nintendo Switch console. He smiled and hugged Charity.

Brandy got him the gift he looked at when they went to the mall.

"The Sheryl Stallings cheerleading workout kit…" Luke says. "Thank you, Brandy!"

He nods before sitting in a corner.

Luke opened Chalice's gift. He smiled when he saw what was inside. It was a new outfit for the show. He smiled and kissed her deeply.


Then Luan did her show for Luke. Luke smiled as she juggled fruit for the show. Next she told jokes.

After Luan's show, he looked down.

Then Luna got on stage. "Hey, everyone, I wrote a song for a very special boy celebrating his 14th birthday today." She says, looking for Luke. Luke looks at Luna.

Luna sang the song she wrote for Luke. Luke was surprised as he listened. She sang 14 songs as Luke smiled.


After that came dancing. Luke danced with Chalice. Chalice could see Luke start to smile bigger.

They dance around and Luke twirls Chalice.

After dancing, everyone began to eat. There was a buffet of Luke's favorite foods. But Luke hissed and turned away.

"Lukey, come on and eat!" Chalice says.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

Luke wanted to play, so they did that. They played tag and hide and seek, then they did some other fun stuff which may or may not have hurt Brandy.


Later, it was piñata time as Luke saw the magic star piñata. He was given a nine iron and he hit the pinata, causing candy to fall out.

Brandy heads to be alone. He watched them eat candy and then sighed, thinking they would soon have no use for him.


They were watching Luke's best moments. He hissed when he saw the "Little Shop Of Horrors" play as part of it.

Lucy stopped it. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you hated that moment…" Lucy says.

"I tripped during Suddenly Seymour, in front of the whole school, and everyone laughed at me! That was super embarrassing for me!" Luke cried.

Luna looked for something to cheer Luke up and got him his plushie. Luke held the marshmallow-scented polar bear plushie close to him.

Lola did a pageant show for him. Luke started to feel a bit better. Then Chalice danced for him. That made him smile more.

Oliver did a magic show of his own as Luke smiled even more. He liked this a lot.


Later, the lights turn out. Luke began to shake as Lucy held him.

The lights turned on as everyone was around a table with the cake Savannah baked. It looked amazing, especially with the magic-themed toys on it. Luke reads it.

It said "Have A Magical 14th Birthday, Luke!" in Arctic blue icing. And there were 14 silver candles on it.

Savannah lit them. Everyone began to sing as Leni recorded this. Luke smiled, but it wasn't a big one as many anticipated a big smile from the birthday boy.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

Luke thought of a wish as he faced the cake and candles. He wished tomorrow would be better. He then blew out his 14 candles, cut himself a piece of cake after removing the toys from the entire cake, and walked off.

Lucy frowned, tomorrow's theme was the "Candy Crush" game theme that would be on My Super Fantastic Fourteen.

"Leni, I'm going to see Grandma Harriet." Lucy says and leaves.

"We screwed up like always. What does Luke want? Honestly, what will it take to make Luke happy? We try listening, but he never talks. He just expects us to be perfect at everything." Lynn says.

"We can't afford to show our faces. Tomorrow we're going to fail, no matter what." Luan says, looking down.

"He had a horrible day." Charity pointed out. "He was already in a horrible mood."

"Okay, I guess he should never go to school on his birthday again or perform on his birthday, because that usually never goes well." Lisa says.

"Where's Lucy?" Lincoln asked.

"She went to see Grandma." Leni says.


Lucy sniffed, wanting to hang herself on top of her great grandmother's grave. Luke came up and just looked at her.

"I'm sorry, Luke. I screwed up again like always. I don't deserve to live." Lucy says. But Luke stops her.

"No. You're trying to make me happy. That's good enough for me." Luke says. "I guess I'm still kinda stuck in the past. I've never had the perfect birthday that I always dreamed I'd have."

"What do you want, Luke? Tell me, please…" Lucy says desperately.

"Well, my perfect birthday always starts out with breakfast at my favorite breakfast restaurant. Then after breakfast, I would love to go shopping or to a movie, heck, I'd love to go on stage, too! Then after all that, I'd love to go to the spa to prepare for my celebration. After that, I make a grand entrance at my birthday celebration where I'm surrounded by all my family and friends. Then after it all ends, I'd love to get a drone show like I saw at my friend Remy's birthday party." Luke says. "And my highlight reel should mainly be me doing hero stuff and all my ANH performances this time."

Lucy sniffed, knowing even if she tried, she'd fail. But she knew all this would make Luke happy.
