Luke took Garrett to his favorite movie theater for his birthday. Garrett smiled at Luke.

"This is the best birthday ever so far…" Garrett says.

Gwen laid in bed, feeling sad. Lucy seemed to be really mad at her. Especially since Lucy had no idea. Gwen didn't really do too much. Gwen wasn't that violent but Lucy was still mad.

With the siblings that ended up in jail, they were allowed to go to school that day. But the reception was anything but friendly once Lori and Luna saw their schoolmates.

Sam turned away from Luna. It hurt her to know how abusive Luna could be. Luna's bandmates then faced her.

"How could you?" Mazzy asked. "Beating up a differently-abled person and threatening his life like that!"

Luna looked down.

"We're kicking you out of the band. The Moon Goats are finished!" Sully says. "Our reputation will go down the tubes if you end up playing in any band with us."

"The whole school knows you love to beat up differently-abled kids now. Good luck trying to make any new friends." Sam says as she walks away with Luna's ex-bandmates.

It wasn't looking good for Lori, either. Carol and Whitney looked at her.

"We're done being friends with you, Lori." They both say.

"I understand " Lori says, ashamed.

Bobby then broke it off with her right then and there. That put her in a depressive state for the rest of the day.

At lunch, Lucy ate her lunch in silence. Her friends took pity on her.

Lucy just wanted to be alone. She didn't know whether to really trust her siblings anymore or to just abandon them entirely.

"Lucy, what happened?' Haiku asked, noticing Lucy had been upset.

Lucy sniffed and told her everything that had been going on. Especially the part about how her family used violence to get their point across and how Gwen got involved in it.

"But Gwen's five. She looked pretty innocent." Haiku says.

"Until she got mixed up in their plans for getting revenge on CPS and got involved in the whole thing." Lucy says. "I wasn't going to get involved. They were the ones who didn't want to be separated. But guess what happened? Lori and Luna ended up in jail and the other siblings were put under house arrest."

"Lucy, Gwen lost her old family. She must have been emotionally vulnerable. Give her another chance." Haiku says.

"I can't trust her, let alone the rest of my family, anymore." Lucy says. "The CPS got all they needed from my family. And it's only a matter of time before they get what they deserve."

With Luke, he was with Garrett at the arcade, playing games and hanging out with him. Garrett was very happy to be spending time with Luke.

Their friend group arrived, which made Garrett smile a lot.

"Happy birthday, Garrett!" Remy says.

"What a great party you have here!" Lonnie says.

"Happy birthday!" Stephen says with a smile.

"We brought presents!" Colleen says.

Garrett smiled at the group and asked them to join the fun, which they did.

Gwen sniffed as she did Lucy's chores, attempting to make it up to her. She did her laundry and got her new poems.

Lucy came home from school, upset.

"Hi, honey…" Rita says. Lucy looks at her.

"Lucy, what happened?" Rita asked. Lucy was still upset with how things were handled the other day and she went to her room to think.

Rita knocked on her door.

"What? What do you want? You're the ones who are acting spineless and you didn't bother to stop them!" Lucy snapped.

Rita looks down

" I'm deeply sorry I really am please forgive me" Rita says trying to gain Lucy's forgiveness " I'll get you tickets to see your favoruite tv show in production"

Lucy's blood presurre rose badly her condition acted up

" Please go" Lucy sniffed. Lola glared seeing Lucy she stole the gift Lucy had for Garrett and burnt it in a fire.

Meanwhile Garret blew the candles for his cake as everyone cheered.

" So what do you want for your half birthday?" Garrett asked Luke who shrugged
