Lynn woke up on her birthday. She knew not much would be done for it, and that was okay. Only Luke gets big parties most of the time.

She came to breakfast, and was surprised to see homemade donuts on the table.

"Surprise!" Luan says.

"Thanks." Lynn says. She smiles and eats some of the donuts.


Luke goes to rehearse for the finals. He sees Aria working hard and rehearsing alone. Jackson had showed up a few minutes later as he soon rehearsed with her.

Cuphead and Mugman were able to rehearse and practice together when Cuphead didn't have chores to do. Mugman knew Cuphead was learning his lesson, though, so he'd take whatever time with Cuphead he could get.

Carol and Connor rehearsed when Carol had time between work at Smoothie Queen and home life.

Beau and Beatrix rehearsed whenever they both had time to do so. Beau knew Lisa was still pregnant and had to take care of her from time to time. Beatrix had her job as a coding and computer class teacher at the local YMCA, but she made time to rehearse and practice with her brother.

As for the band, Luke kept Beau in the band after being told off. And was told if he or any member of the band berated Beau or Lucy again, there would be trouble. Big trouble.


Lucy reads Lynn a birthday poem, much to Lynn's delight.

"Awww, thanks, Luce." Lynn says.

"Wanna go out?" Lucy asked. Lynn nodded.


Meanwhile, Luke got sized for his costumes that he would be wearing in the finals.

Chalice watched as she was also being sized by her personal seamstress.

"So, how are you two feeling about it all?" Luna asked them.

Luke sniffed.

"You can be honest." Luna says.

"Scared." Luke says.

"Nervous." Chalice says.

"It's perfectly normal to feel this way before a huge show." Luna says. "I feel that way sometimes."


Meanwhile, Cynthia wakes up and sees Oliver by her bed and shrieks loudly as her hair shoots up.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!" Cynthia shrieked.

"I made you breakfast…" Oliver says as Cynthia looked at him and rubbed her eyes.

"Oh, it's Oliver. I thought you were…the Goblin King or some other villain." Cynthia says as she is still sleepy. "Wait a minute, why make breakfast for a sarcastic ice queen like me?"

"You're pretty." Oliver says.


Meanwhile, Angry Luigi and Alem tuber rushed around dodging the Golden Shooter.

Troy tries attacking Jason, who kicked him into his siblings

Alem tuber leapt and kicked the Golden Shooter. Delta leaped and slashed the Golden Shooter.

Bill was trying to regain control, but the Golden Shooter was evil again. Chrissy turned into Upgrade and took control of it as Bill sighed.

Angry Luigi leaped and whacked Wildy with his mallet.


Meanwhile, Lynn and Lucy arrive at the Riverwalk mall, Shops At Rivercenter.

The two of them were spending some sister time together. It was nice to not have to deal with Lynn's sports events and competitions for a change.

They bought some food, then sat and had some lively conversations.

"I'm supporting Aria. No offense, but she needs a change." Lynn says.

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.

"She can't be in Luke's shadow forever." Lynn says. "If she wins, Luke might actually realize that there's more to life than him winning."

"She's just a child, Lynn. She didn't start this stardom thing until this season started." Lucy says.

"Right. I hope Aria doesn't take it too personally if she loses. Maybe she should go back to being a kid after this." Lynn says.

"Maybe you should stop controlling Aria sometimes. She has a life." Lucy says. "Luke doesn't always force her into doing pageants and shows. She does other things, too. Besides, Aria lost Little Miss America to the contestant from Maryland. Aria got first runner-up, which is better than not placing at all."

"I still support her." Lynn says.


Meanwhile, with Luke, he thought of the finals as he watched Aria dance. Luke smiled at Aria.

"Did you like it?" Aria asked.

"It was great!" Luke says.


Back with Lynn, she came home to see a cake on the table. The siblings smile at her.

"Is this for me?" Lynn asked. The siblings nodded.

"Do you know how old I am now?" She asked.

"26" Lucy says. Lynn smiled as they sang to her. She then thought of her wish.

She wished she had a kid as she blew out the candles. Francisco smiles next to her.

"Should we try?" He asked Lynn. Lynn blushed a bit.


Meanwhile, with the cup brothers, they had gone into town. Cuphead had finished his chores.

"What to do?" Mugman wondered.

Cuphead shrugged. Cuphead then decided to look around town. Mugman walked alongside him.

"How're ya feelin' about the finals, Cuppy?" Mugman asked.

"We're going to win, I know it." Cuphead says.

"And if we don't, let's be happy for the winners, regardless of who they are." Mugman says.


With Beau, he was with Lisa at her ultrasound appointment.

She sighed as Beau held her hand.

"Are you okay, Lis?" He asked her.

"Yeah." She says. The gender was revealed to Lisa and Beau.

"Congratulations, you two! It's a boy!" Maria says.

Lisa smiled as Beau was ecstatic. He didn't care which gender the baby had as he was just happy to get a child of his own. He couldn't wait to tell his family later.


With Luke, he stared at the calendar as the finals were now less than a week away. It didn't stop him from packing for the finals.

Chalice had been trying to relocate the finals show, but Luke would be fine in any location. Especially Houston. Everyone would be at this show, regardless of where it was.
