Aria was feeling guilty about the NSL Luke. What happened in that universe? Why did the other Chalice cheat on that version of Luke? She had so many questions.
She decided to find Edwin since he went there before anyone else.
"Edwin?" Aria says.
"Yes?" Edwin asked, sipping hot milk from his own straw.
"Why does the other dad hate my other mommy?" Aria asked.
"Because she kissed a sentient flower who was madly in love with her." Edwin says.
Aria frowned.
With Oliver, he was broken. He just rocked back and forth.
"Don't worry, you know what will make you happy? ANH. That's where you were needed. Besides, who needs that when you have a whole tour of fun and we'll win and the next magic competition isn't for a while, anyway." Jackson says.
Oliver smiled, wanting to win. But he still felt sad inside.
"I'm a loser who let little miss magic expert win!" Oliver sobbed.
"No, you're not, you're better than her." Luke says.
"I don't have any contest wins under my belt anymore!" Oliver cried.
"How about a design contest?" Lori asked.
"That's something L-Leni would win at…" Oliver sniffed.
"ANH. If we win, the party will be all about you, Oliver." Jackson says. Oliver looked at him sadly.
Meanwhile, Edwin and Aria arrived in the NSL universe, looking for NSL Chalice. She was making out with Cagney Carnation. Edwin was slightly disgusted as he rolled his eyes.
Aria screamed and blasted him with hot milk, killing him.
"How could you cheat on Daddy? you two were supposed to be together!" Aria sobbed.
"Aria. Just…just let it go." Edwin says. "All universes are different. And it just wasn't meant to be in this universe."
"I can't!" Aria says as NSL Chalice glared. "I loved him!"
"Um, we gotta run…" Aria says as NSL Chalice kicked her, cracking her as Aria was too traumatized to fight back, plus she couldn't hit her dimensional mother.
Edwin used magic on NSL Chalice, cracking her to pieces before taking his leave with Aria. Aria ran home, sobbing. Chalice sees her and sees how traumatized she is.
Aria ran to her room, sobbing.
With Oliver, he felt worthless.
Luke thinks of a competition and enters him in the "Mr. Teen San Antonio" pageant as he smiles.
Oliver was surprised.
Aria pushed Chalice aside. Luke slaps Aria for pushing her own mother. That slap was enough to knock a little sense into Aria.
"Luke, she's scared of me because of my counterpart." Chalice says says. Luke was too annoyed to care.
"Sorry, Mommy…" Aria sniffed.
"It's okay, honey." Chalice says.
"Do you love Daddy?" Aria asked.
"In this universe, yes. But you can't go tampering with stuff in other universes, sweetie. It's too risky." Chalice says.
Aria sniffed.
"You could have died." Chalice says.
Lucy sees Edwin.
"Aria tried to tamper with the NSL universe." Edwin says to Lucy.
Lucy sighed.
"She made me hurt NSL Chalice." Edwin says.
"What?!" Lucy asked. Edwin then told her everything.
Later in mid-April, it was Remy's birthday. Luke was invited. And so was Oliver. Remy was one of Luke's dearest friends and a brilliant poet and singer. Remy was turning 24.
They arrive at a luxurious manor. Luke rings the doorbell. A butler in an emerald green tuxedo answers the door.
"Master Remington, more guests have arrived." The butler calls out to Remy.
Remy came to Luke and Oliver. "Luke! You made it!" Remy says. "Thanks so much for coming!"
"You're welcome." Luke says.
"We are celebrating two things tonight. My 24th birthday and the launch of my new poetry book, Celebration Cinquains." Remy says.
"Nice!" Luke says.
"I know!" Remy says.
Soon, Remy's party begins. He begins chatting with Luke and some of his old friends.
"So, what happened to Oliver again?" Remy asked.
"He has no wins in anything. He's basically having to start over." Luke says.
Oliver sniffed and sobbed.
"Oh, Oliver, don't be sad…you'll win something someday." Remy says.
Oliver sniffed. Remy offered him some food and punch.
He took it and enjoyed it.
Luke got Remy a gift. Remy gasped and opened it. It was a guitar, signed by Luke.
"Thanks, Luke! I love it!" Remy says.
"You're most welcome." Luke says.
He opens Oliver's gift next and smiles. It was a calligraphy kit.
"Oh, I've always wanted to try this!" Remy says. "Thank you, Oliver!"
"You're welcome." Oliver says, smiling at Remy.
Next was Stephen's gift, which was a "Dessert Storm" cookbook set signed by Remy's favorite Operation Dessert Storm chef, Hazel Halliwell. He squealed and hugged Stephen. "Thank you!" Remy says.
"You're welcome!" Stephen says. Luke smiled.
"Time to talk about your book, Remy!" Luke says, holding up a copy of it.
Remy smiled and came up on stage. Remy talks about his book as he smiles.
With Lucy, she was furious that Aria caused NSL Chalice to be hurt, and that Aria forced Edwin to hurt NSL Chalice.
"Actually, she didn't force me. I only did it to save her from getting killed." Edwin says.
"Still, she shouldn't have gone there." Lucy said.
"She's right, you know." Chalice says. "I know you tried to protect a relationship there, but you have to realize every universe is different. Not every universe will have relationships as healthy as this one. What you two did was very out of line. Aria, you're grounded for a week."
"Edwin, you're only grounded for a day." Lucy says, knowing Edwin only went to protect Aria.
At Remy's party, most people were dancing while others stood around and talked.
Remy feels lonely. Luke notices.
"I thought you were married…" Stephen says.
"He is?" Sal asked.
"I was married." Remy says, then sobs. "She left me for Clyde!"
"Oh, Remy, I'm so sorry…" Luke says. He sniffed.
Haiku was heading to the party with her daughter. Clyde was just the stepfather. As soon as she arrived, she saw Remy in tears.
Lilith approached her father, who was sobbing with his friends.
"Father?" Lilith asked as she grabbed one of Remy's hands.
Remy looks at Lilith. She had a gift for him. Remy opened the gift. It was a scrapbook. He looked at it. It has his best poems in it.
"Thank you." Remy says.
"You're welcome." Lilith says.
"Remy?" Haiku says. Remy looks at her.
"Haiku…" Remy says.
She hugged him. "Clyde…h-he…" she sniffed. "He tried to rape me…"
Remy gasped and held Haiku.
"He forced me to divorce you…" Haiku says to Remy.
"What?!" Remy asked. He then started crying again as Luke tried to comfort him.
"You don't love me anymore?!" Remy cried.
"I do love you…" Haiku says.
They hugged and kissed as everyone cheered.
Later, they have a slow dance. Remy just smiled at Haiku the whole time. After that, it was piñata time. But Remy didn't want to hit it, so he let Luke do it. Luke smiled and hit it, sending candy everywhere.
Lucy sees Haiku and smiles. Haiku was finally happy to have Remy in her life again. She had missed him a lot.
Luke goes to prepare Remy's cake. Later, Luke came out with it, carrying it. 24 candles shone brightly on it as he began to sing.
Everyone sings along as Remy smiles at the cake Luke made. Remy wished to have a happy life and blew out all 24 candles on the cake as everyone cheered.
Later, Luke had stayed over with Remy. Haiku had left to get her things so she could move back in with Remy.
Lilith smiles at Remy.
