Lucy couldn't sleep. She was thinking about making sure Luke's day was perfect.
Luke was sleeping peacefully. He started to dream about his party.
Lucy woke up at 4:30 the next morning and went to start setting up for Luke's birthday.
Luna stirred when she heard all the noise. So did Lynn. They see Lucy working frantically. Lynn sighed as Luna just rolled her eyes.
Luna was standing there in her pajamas, which was a Nirvana t-shirt, purple pajama pants with white moons and stars all over them, and her purple slippers with white skulls.
Lynn was wearing a red top with a white "L" on the right side, red pajama pants with white pinstripes, and her scarlet red bedroom slippers. Her hair was down as she never wore it up when it came to bedtime.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" Lynn asked, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
"I need to get started…" Lucy says " I want today to be perfect."
"Are you obsessed with Luke?!" Lynn asked Lucy.
"This is seriously weirding me out, dudette…" Luna said with a yawn.
"I don't want him to have a bad birthday ever again…" Lucy says.
Luke wakes up, gets dressed, puts on his jacket and hat, and goes for a morning nature walk.
When he leaves, Lucy prepares his breakfast which is something he'd like, French toast with blackberries. And bacon. He loves bacon.
Luke was walking on the nature trail by the lake house. He always liked this part of the house, mostly because it was peaceful and there were no distractions from anything or anyone. Sometimes he'll bring a book and read it on a bench in his "calming corner" on the trail.
He enjoys the peace and quiet on this trail most of all.
Charity woke up. She then started making the chili for the party, as it would cook in the crockpots all day. She planned on having a "chili bar" at the party later.
Luke's cousins came down to breakfast, each of them making their preferred meals or bowls of cereal, then they sat down and ate. The siblings came down, seeing Luke hadn't returned from his walk.
"Is Luke okay?" Lucy asked
Lynn facepalmed as she ate her eggs and toast.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi woke up from his comatose state as Alem tuber crossed his arms.
"You're awake. come on today's Luke's birthday" Savannah says as Angry Luigi couldn't move
"He'll be all right." Alice says. "Now let's get out of here before those guards come."
Alem tuber and Delta were punching and kicking guards. Emila chanted a spell as a portal opened. They arrive in Greendale.
With Luke, he was reading on his bench. He didn't realize Lucy made his breakfast.
Lucy goes to set up his party as Leni brings Luke his breakfast.
"Happy birthday, Luke! Lucy made you some breakfast!" Leni says.
Luke smiled as he ate it on the bench.
Lucy was working on her poem for Luke. Remy was writing a poem for Luke as well.
Later, Luke's cousins took him to see a movie. It was one Luke wanted to see. He then hisses when he sees it was sold out. He screamed and hissed more.
"We bought tickets in advance." Preston says as they were taken into the VIP section and Luke got the best seat. Luke didn't know what to think at first. They did this for him.
Luke then threw his drink and hissed at the screen.
"What's wrong?" Jenna asked Luke, concerned.
"I hate THIS movie!" Luke screamed.
They leave and go shopping to cheer Luke up.
"You ruined my birthday! Now it's not perfect. I hate you all!" Luke cried.
"The movie theater ruined your birthday. Not us." Natalie says.
"You took me to a bad movie…" Luke hissed.
Lucy finished decorating.
"Guys, Luke's cousins screwed up…" Lisa says.
"I knew it!" Lucy snapped.
"You need help…" Lola says
"Now Luke will remember this as a bad year…" Lucy sobbed, having a mini heart attack.
"How can we fix it?" Jenna asked.
"We don't want you to hate us, Luke!" Natalie says.
Luke thought about it.
"Make sure my siblings stay under control. One mistake and I'll never forgive you." Luke hissed and went to Old Navy.
Later, Angry Luigi made a crystal sculpture of Luke.
Savannah made his birthday cake.
"Okay, guys. Drell called and we got to go on a mission after this. So, yeah, you ready to kill?" Alem tuber asked.
"Nope." Bill says. "Not happening."
Luke was hissing in a dressing room at Old Navy. He kicked the door.
"Luke! Why are you mad?" Addie, the manager says.
"I'm not getting my special treatment!" Luke screamed.
"I'll make sure you do." Addie says and goes to do so. Luke calms down and does his shopping.
Then he goes to the sports store, Good Sport, to get new cheer shoes.
"Ah, Oakley Academy's high school cheer captain!" Graham, the manager, says. "Right this way, superstar!"
Luke smiled and followed him as his cousins were stunned by this. They wish they were that special.
Later, they bring him back to the lake house. He then goes off to rest.
Lucy watched him sleep. She admitted he looked peaceful. Luke snored lightly.
30 minutes later, he woke up and hissed.
"He's awake…whose turn is it to go up?" Lucy says.
"I'll go." Leni says. She comes into Luke's room. Luke was hissing at a book he was looking at.
"Hey, Luke…why are you hissing at the book?" Leni asked him.
Luke explains. "This cheerleading book is ALL wrong!" He then hissed at the book some more. Leni pitied Luke.
Lucy was freaking out, knowing this would ruin it so she took the book away. "Why don't we just do something that won't make you upset?" Lucy said and took him skating on the lake.
Later, they go out for ice cream.
Soon, Luke was coming back as he looked around. He wasn't even ready to party as he was still in his outfit of the day.
"I don't look like a camping scout!' Luke hissed.
"Of course you do! Look at all your nice merit badges!" Luna says. "Don't they look cool?"
"Ooooh…" Luke looked at the badges on his custom scout sash.
"Let's do it!" Luke says.
Luna grinned and started his introduction again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, would you please direct your attention to the very center of this party room? Because I would like to present to you all, the one we all came to celebrate…the birthday superstar, Luke Huntington!" Luna says.
Luke appeared and smiled as he did his opening dance to the "Boy Scout Rap" by Thirty100 with Remy, Stephen, and Oliver.
Everyone loved it. A lot of Luke's female guests squealed with excitement.
After that, the Adventure Kids began their show. Luke smiled, becoming one of their biggest fans for a change. They did a song, dedicating it to Luke. Luke couldn't help but get up and dance. Soon, they finished.
Angry Luigi revealed his crystal sculpture as Luke loved it.
"Ahhh! I love this!" Luke says. "I can't wait to find a place for it!"
Savannah and Tina did their own performance for Luke. Luke clapped for them.
Luke then got up and explored the party.
There was food and gifts. He noticed his gifts were stacked in a huge pyramid style. He grinned and wanted to start at the top of his gift pyramid.
It was Lucy's gift at the top. Luke opened it. It was nice dark Arctic camo boots. He squeals and hugs Lucy. He knew exactly who designed them. Art Le Marsh himself. Luke worshipped his design style and his designs. Lucy blushed when he hugged her.
Lynn got him pom-poms and Jenna got him more new skates.
Later, after more gifts were opened…
"I have a game I made called Firewood Hunt. Let's see who can gather the most firewood. Luke will be the judge, also no using your powers." Lucy says. "Unless Luke wants to join."
Luke shakes his head. "I'm the scoutmaster here!" He hissed.
"Okay." Lucy says. Soon, it began as Kali seemed to be really good at it.
Luke was observing the game, taking his "scoutmaster" role very seriously.
Kali had 3 bags of firewood as Alem tuber looked annoyed. Alex cut a tree with his swords.
"No one said anything about using swords." Alex chuckled.
"Sorry, Alex, but my advantage comes from experience." Kali says.
Stephen was trying. But never got the hang of it. He got frustrated and quit trying.
Oliver was cutting lots of wood.
"Time's ticking…" Lucy says.
"Heh, piece of cake." Lynn says.
Luke watched some more. Soon, he got bored.
"Time's up!" Luke shouted.
Kali won with 7 bags of firewood as Oliver came in second with 6.
"I'm beat." Kali says, looking a bit tired.
"Luke, I wrote this birthday poem especially for you." Lucy says. Luke eagerly waits to hear it.
"Roses are red, violets are blue, you are too cool for the blue. High school is a year for some cheers. This is your day. Happy birthday, dear brother." Lucy read.
"Nice." Haiku says.
Remy reads his own poem as Luke enjoys it.
Later, Lola gives Luke a show, then the kids play games while the adults chat.
After the games, it was time for Luke to judge the ugly Christmas sweaters. Leni had the cutest sweater. Luke then looked at the other sweaters. Oliver smiled and showed off his Elf-themed Christmas sweater that he designed. It was a patchwork design of all the best quotes from the movie, each in its own square. It also had little bells on the edges.
He then sees Carlota's Mrs. Claus sweater, enjoying it.
Luke liked them all, but he decided to let Leni and Oliver win via a tie cause they were that good. Oliver grinned.
Soon, it was time to watch a home movie of Luke's very first birthday with the Louds as everyone helped themselves to chili and other food.
Luke smiled as he got some chili, then sat with his friends.
Lucy goes to be alone, thinking something would go wrong.
"All right, everyone, it's movie time!" Charity says. She then turns it on.
Everyone watched. They saw an eight-year-old Luke bouncing on a trampoline and smiling. Then they saw him opening gifts and expressing disgust at the ugly sweater that was given to him.
Lucy froze, knowing this was going to end bad and changed it to a birthday Luke did enjoy. Luke hissed angrily as she ruined the movie. Lisa changed it back as everyone smiled.
After the movie, Lucy set up a campfire and was making smores for everyone, especially Luke. Luke hissed as he wanted to make his own.
"O-okay…you can make your own s'more…" Lucy stammered when she saw Luke's mad face.
Luke smiles as he makes his s'more, but uses some miniature Reese's peanut butter cups instead of a chocolate bar. Stephen uses a cookies & cream bar for his s'more.
Luke goes off as he eats his s'more. "Mom, why is Lucy trying to ruin it?"
"Luke, Lucy's paranoid, she's trying to make your day perfect. I'll talk to her." Charity says.
Later, it was time for dessert. Luke gasped. Oliver had made a cake with a s'more-flavored filling. It said "Happy Birthday To Our Superstar Camper, Luke!". It had a toy Luke popping in and out of a tent. Everyone began to sing as Luke liked it.
He wished his sweet 16 was bigger as he blew out his 15 candles on the cake.
After that, Lisa had a drone light show as Luke liked it. Then fireworks shot up as everyone smiled at Luke.
Later, everyone was getting ready for bed as Leni hung up the new portrait with a smile.
Luke was very angry at Lucy. She had ruined this day because she wanted his day to be perfect. He stormed out of the lake house and decided to sleep on his bench tonight.
"Luke…I don't want your day to end badly. I'm sorry for everything, so I'm going to let you watch your movie and after that, I have a surprise for you." Lucy says.
Luke came in to see. It was the same movie. He sighed and watched. After that, Lucy did a piano performance for Luke. Luke liked this.
Lucy thinks of something to cheer Luke up.
Luke went out to his bench on his trail and laid on it. He was sick of it all.
He wanted three days instead of two, and he hissed at the trees before going to sleep on the bench.
He would have a third party tomorrow, then he wanted three days next year for his Sweet 16.
"I ruined it!" Lucy sobbed and was planning to run away. Charity stopped her.
"Let me die, I don't deserve to live!" Lucy sobbed.
"Honey, you ruined a lot of the party for Luke. It was hard for him to have any fun. He likes poetry and games, but you must stop obsessing over making it perfect. It takes all the fun out of it for him." Charity says.
"He hates mistakes!" Lucy sobbed.
"But don't obsess so much over his parties." Charity says to Lucy, who sadly nods.
