A few days later, Lynn was relaxing on the beach. Lana and Lola were playing around and Charity was putting special sunscreen on Lucy.

While Luke was at the beach with them, he was also in the Royal Woods "Bathing Beauty & Beau" pageant. Luke just walked off, letting his siblings do their beach things.

"Hurry up, Lucy, I wanna enter that beach volleyball tournament. I know you're good at beach volleyball." Lynn says.

"But Luke has a pageant." Lucy says.

"So Luke can enter a pageant, but I can't enter a volleyball tournament?" Lynn said. Charity nodded and let Lynn go and enter the tournament with Francisco like she wanted. She wasn't forcing Lynn to sit through any of Luke's pageants if she didn't want to.


Lola was sunbathing. "Lola, there is a pageant today." Lana says.

"You're piquing my interest. Go on." Lola says.

"Are you going to enter?" Lana asked.

"What kind of pageant is it?" Lola asked.

"Both male and female, though you gotta read something. And you have to wear your swimsuit in it, too." Lana says as Lola looked like she'd cry.

"Read?! I can't! Luke can go alone." Lola says. Charity hears this.

"Lana, now that pageant doesn't require anyone to read anything. I don't know why you think that." Charity says.

"Before we met Luke, there was a reading section." Lana says.

"Ouch…was there anyone who knew of Lola's condition?" Charity asked.

"Her rich rival." Lana says.

"The mayor had the reading section removed from this pageant and many others for that matter. Too many people got stage fright and were put under tremendous pressure to do the reading stuff." Charity says.

"So Luke does have dyslexia? I feel bad for him." Lana says, thinking the mayor removed it for Luke.

"He doesn't have dyslexia, honey. The reading section was a problem for lots of other people." Charity says. "Didn't make the pageants fun for anyone."


Luke got ready. He noticed Lola had entered, too.

"So you're entering, too." Cuphead says as Lucy leaves, seeing Cuphead. She ran and bumped into Lynn.

"Lynn?" Lucy asked.

"Hey, Lucy, Francisco got sick trying to eat crab and he's severely allergic to shellfish, so I'm out." Lynn says.

"Wait, what if I played with you?" Lucy asked.

"What?!" Lynn shouted in surprise as she shook her head. "Are you serious? What about Luke? You hate sports."

"I can actually play beach volleyball and I wanna get my mind off romance." Lucy says as Lynn hugged her.


Lola sees Chalice and glared.

"Hey, I've noticed something. Why do you, Lana, and Chalice sound so similar?" Lincoln asked.

"No, we don't." they say as Lincoln looks at the 4th wall and shrugged.

"Whatever. Come on, Luke, let's get you ready." Leni says as Ronnie Anne came in to support Luke.

"You!" Ronnie Anne says to Chalice. Luke told her everything.

"She did what to you?!" Ronnie Anne shouted.

Luke holds her back from attacking.

"She is dead when this is over!" Ronnie Anne shouted.


Lola was up first. Luke smiled and watched her.

Lana clapped with a smile on her face.

Luke was getting ready to go next. The crowd was chanting Luke's name.

Luke smiled and appeared on stage as the crowd cheered for him. He smiled and struck a few good poses.

The crowd loved it. And a lot of them loved him. Luke grinned and soon left the stage.

Chalice came on stage in her swimsuit as people liked it.

She did her charm dance as the boys wooed her. Lola hissed, but Luke hissed even louder. He still hated her. She bowed as the fans loved her.

She went off stage. "Hey, ding-dongs, ANH is going to be a trio event. We should team up." Chalice says

"Yeah, that sounds nice." Mugman says.

Luke sees this and hisses. He needed someone on his team. He thinks of Jason, but couldn't as Jason isn't always available.

He then thinks of Lisa, but shook his head then texted Brandy, wanting to team up with him.


Meanwhile, Brandy and Randy were sparring. Randy tries punching Brandy, who leaped up and tried kicking Randy, who walked back. He charged up a garlic gun and fired it towards Brandy, who smirked and fired a lightning blast as there was an explosion.

Brandy sees the text moments later.

"Luke wants me on his team!" Brandy says.

"You're joking, right?" Emila says. Brandy shook his head.

"Also, what is a text?" Emila asked

"Oh, right, you don't know too much about technology." Savannah says. "Wait, so you and Luke are friends again? That's amazing."


Meanwhile, Cuphead went on and the crowd loved it.

"Why are they so good?" Lola asked Luke.

"Chalice is being a pain…" Luke says.

"Cuphead, too." Lola says, arms crossed.

"Can't believe that elder you killed my counterpart." Lola says. Luke sighed.

"We're so alike, yet so different." Lola says.

Luke goes off to get ready for the talent round.


With Lucy, she and Lynn made quite the team as they advanced in the volleyball tournament.

"Semifinals, let's go!" Lynn says.

Lucy smiled a bit as some kids wanted autographs. Lynn smiled and did so.

Two girls came up. "It's Lynn and her scary freaky sister." One of them teased.

"Leave her alone!" Lynn says, knowing Lucy was sensitive. The two girls ran off, knowing what Lynn was capable of.

"Let's win this!" Lynn says to Lucy. Lucy had run off.

"Lucy!" Lynn says and looks for her.


Meanwhile, it was time for the talent round at the pageant. Lola went up and did her talent, which was walking on the stage with books on her head. The judges clapped for her.

Luke got ready to do his talent. Fans were chanting for Luke. Luke just smiled and emerged on stage, doing his beachy ribbon dance to "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" by The Sunlight Shakers.

The crowd loved what they saw. At the end, Luke spelled his first and last name with his ribbons, a talent he learned well.

Chalice glared at Luke. But Ronnie Anne grabbed her.

"If you do anything to hurt him anymore, you're going to get beaten up so bad, your universe won't know who you are!" Ronnie Anne hissed. Chalice gulped and nodded fearfully.

Cuphead soon went on stage and showed off his talent. Fans cheered for him.

After Cuphead came Chalice. She did a ribbon tap dance as fans cheered. Luke just hissed at her.

Luke then walked off.


The semi-finals were on at the volleyball tournament.

"Ha, you think you can win? You can't! It's obvious Lynn is using you like Cuphead did…" the first girl says and hits the ball as Lynn hits it back.

"Quit messing with Lucy!" Lynn says.

After the game, Lynn and Lucy won.

"I swear if someone tries to insult Lucy again…" Lynn says as Lucy was looking down. Lynn could see Lucy was crying.

"Luce, from this point on, ignore what everyone else says about you. Remember what Garrett said. Don't let the haters win." Lynn tells Lucy.

Lucy nods and hugs Lynn.


With Luke, he hissed as he prepared for the crowning ceremony. The "Royal Woods Bathing Beauty & Beau" pageant only consisted of the style & talent rounds.

Lola gets prepared for this moment.

"And now, the moment you have all been waiting for! The crowning of this year's Royal Woods Bathing Beauty & Beau! We will start with our bathing beauty!" The announcer says. "And that title goes to…Lola Huntington!"

The crowd cheered as Lola was stunned. She soon went up and got her crown, sash, and trophy.

"Way to go, Lola!" Lana says.

Lola flashed a smile. Luke smiled at her.

"And your Royal Woods Bathing Beau is…Luke Huntington!" The announcer says. Luke gasped in shock.

"Me?! Why, thank you!" Luke says.

"I wonder how they got away with using my name…" Beau says, before realizing his name means "handsome" and that's why they use it.


Meanwhile, Lynn and Lucy won the volleyball tournament.

"We actually won!" Lynn says as the losing team walks off.

"Yeah, that's right, go on!" Lynn says. Lucy smiled a bit.

They later meet up with Charity and the others.

"Luke and Lola won their pageant! We're going out for dinner tonight. And of course we'll celebrate your win, too." Charity says.


After leaving the beach and changing clothes, they go to Twisted Toppings, the new pizza place. Luke smiled as he ate a slice of the cheese-stuffed crust pepperoni pizza.

"Lucy, are you going to be okay?" Leni asked as Lucy nodded, eating her pizza.

Charity later ordered the hot fudge sundae dessert pizza. Luke and the siblings drooled a bit at the sound of that.

Ronnie Anne was there, smiling at Luke.

"Hey, Lisa, wanna team up?" Luna asked. Lisa thinks about that.

"Okay." Lisa says.

The dessert pizza came out and everyone got a slice or two of it, enjoying every bite.

"This is amazing!" Luan says.

"I know!" Luke says.


They soon finished as Lucy noticed Ronnie Anne feeding Luke. Those girls were right. She would always be lonely or used, she began to run off to cry alone.

She was jealous of Remy. He was going to Europe and Luke and the siblings had partners and all the teasing got to her.


Back at home, Luke got to work on Remy's surprise party plans as well as packing.

With Remy, he was packing for his trip. He was excited, but nervous. At least he would have his guy friends and Haiku tagging along, which made him feel better about it.
