Sharon talked to Shane before he went to sleep.
"Sweetie, can you be fair to your younger siblings?" Sharon asked him. "Let them have two birthdays a year, too. You can have two or three days if you want, but give your siblings a cut of that metaphorical party cake."
"I can do that. Can I still have a full week for my 18th birthday, though?" Shane asked.
"Of course you can." Sharon says with a smile. "Now you should probably get to sleep, all right? Tomorrow's a big day."
Shane nods and settles down to go to bed.
Kat and Ana snuck into the party room, drawing on the wall before sneaking out.
"Come on, we need to find a warp pipe." Kat says.
"Why?" Ana asked.
"We gotta bring our friends here! Shane may have a birthday concert. He's Penny's idol." Kat says.
"But how are we going to get there and sneak into the party?" Ana asked.
"We use our super ninja stealth!" Kat says.
The next day, Shane woke up.
"He's turned into the handsomest star for all to see…Happy Birthday, Sweet 16!" Luke and Shane's family sang.
"Awww, thanks, guys…" he says.
"We made happy-face birthday pancakes for the birthday boy!" Sharon says, showing Shane a stack of pancakes with the top one making a happy face using banana slices and chocolate chips, and chocolate decorator's icing to make Shane's curls.
"I love it!" Shane says. He began to eat the pancakes, savoring the chocolate icing curls.
"Since Oliver clearly doesn't want us around, I say we go out." Emma says.
"Wow, Pam messed you up." Griffin says.
"Hey." Pam says as she glared at him. "Are you saying I did a bad job?"
"Yeah, we're going out and since there's no ANH on Luke's family days, we're probably not coming back tonight." Alem tuber says as they leave.
"Someday, I hope we can go to Disneyland for fun." Griffin says as just then, Skylia came.
"Hey, kids, we're going to Disneyland!" Skylia says
"Yay!" the 4 of them cheer.
"Wait, don't you want to be there for Shane?" Oliver asked
"He's more your friend. Besides, with dumb luck, Shane's second birthday may just be at Disneyland." Griffin says.
"But why them?" Oliver asked
"I figured running away wasn't the best option. I wanna get to know them" Skylia says "We'll go tomorrow. Today, you kids have fun at Shane's party." Skylia says.
"So, my half-birthday is going to be at Disneyland. That's nice." Oliver says.
In a room, a young teenager was sleeping when Kat and Ana came. "Stealth mission!" Kat says.
"Kat…Ana…ugh, 5 more minutes…" Penny groaned.
"No way! We got you a date with Shane Loud!" They say.
"Wait, a date?!" Penny asked. They nod.
"But he's too old for me…" She says.
"Aren't you 15, soon to be 16?" Kat asked.
"Um…he's a well known singer." Penny says.
"Chicken! Come on, give it a shot!" Kat says
"Okay, okay! And go take a shower! You smell!" Penny says, although she was reluctant about this.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi, Alem tuber, and Emma were hanging out with the Mario bros, unaware that Emma was actually right about Skylia's return.
"Hey, is that Wario?" Daisy asked.
"Yeah, guess we better kick his butt." Alem tuber says.
With Shane, Luke and Leni take him out.
Today, he was doing a meet and greet at Beans & Beats, the new coffee shop-music store hybrid that opened in the mall. He was also performing his new song at the grand opening party that would take place after the meet & greet.
"There he is, come on!" Kat says, but Penny was too nervous.
"Maybe Shelby can help. She's our new friend." Ana says but Penny had run off.
Ann came up to Shane, wanting an autograph. Shane smiled and signed his newest poster for her. The poster was his "Watch Me Work" album cover with a new picture of Shane on it.
"Thank you." Ann says.
"Penny, come back!" Kat and Ana yelled out.
"No, I can't!" Penny says as her jacket gets caught in the escalator.
"I'm stuck!" she says.
"I'll free you!" Kat says, taking out a sword.
"You'll cut me, too! I'm done for!" Penny says, trying to free herself.
Shane sees this and ran over as he managed to get her out and got down as everyone was clapping as Penny had her eyes shut.
"That was amazing!" Leni says.
Penny opened her eyes and saw Shane and blushed. "I-I-I…" she stammered.
"You okay, miss?" Shane asked her.
"Um, yeah, thank you, gotta go, bye!" she says running away, a flustered mess.
"That was weird." Shane says.
"I think she likes you." Leni says.
"Lots of girls like me." Shane shrugged as he walked off.
Later, Oliver arrived at the party venue to see it was a mess. He gasped. All of his and Luke's work, ruined.
"Who did this?" Oliver asked. He then saw it was the handiwork of Shelby's friends. He was livid. He then found Kat and Ana and confronted them about this.
"You don't know anything! We did nothing!" Kat says
"I saw drawings on the wall that prove otherwise!" Oliver was fuming.
"It was supposed to be a special drawing!" Ana sobbed.
"Who ruined the decorations me and Luke made and special-ordered?" Oliver asked.
"It was an accident! Kat said we should draw in the dark so the s-surprise wouldn't be ruined…" Ana sniffed.
"We're sorry!" Kat sobbed "Well, Ana, this is it…no way out of this one." Kat says holding her sword.
"Maybe I can help." Penny says, willing to bail the ninja twins out of this jam.
"The birthday banner me and Luke spent days working on…the banners of Shane that took two weeks to get here…ruined…" Oliver sniffed.
Penny sees this. "I can get it shipped here in about 30 minutes. Nothing that the internet ca-oh, oh…" Penny stammered, looking at the banners.
"Penny, focus!" Kat and Ana say.
"Okay, okay…" Penny says " It will be here"
"So you can fix the decorations, right?" They asked
"Um, no." Penny says.
Meanwhile, Wandy tries to attack Angry Luigi, who dodges.
"Why are you trying to steal from Peach?" Alem tuber asked as Wlem created an orange machine gun construct and started shooting as Alem tuber dodged.
"Money!" Wlem says.
"Of course you want money!" Alem tuber says as the 4 vs 4 fight was getting intense as Wario tried punching Mario, who jumped and stomped on his face.
Luigi was running as Waluigi tossed bombs, causing explosions.
"This is getting boring" Daisy says.
"Wanna practice for ANH?" Peach asked as Daisy nodded.
A witch named Ashley was reading a book when Penny called.
"Okay, I guess I can help." Ashley says and teleports to the party, dragging her demon friend with her.
Meanwhile, Remy and Stephen took Shane to the movies.
"This movie is pretty good." Shane says.
He got a call from Oliver later. "Oh…" Shane says.
"What?" Remy asked.
"My party's been called off…" Shane says.
"You guys owe me for this." Ashley says and sees a image of what the party was supposed to look like before Kat and Ana ruined it as she used a spell fixing everything
"There." Ashley says.
"So, that's it?" Kat asked
"That seemed too easy." Ana says.
"I'm still mad." Oliver says.
"I knew it. Get ready for the fight of your life!" Kat says, thinking Oliver was planning on hurting them. But all Oliver did was leave. He already told Shane the news.
"We can still save the party. Come on, Ana, I know what to do!" Kat says as they find Shelby.
"Hey, Shelby, we need your help. We screwed up badly and accidentally ruined your brother's Sweet 16, then we fixed the damage." They say, tearing up.
"How can I help?" She asked.
"I thought you knew." Kat says.
Shelby thinks. "Okay, I'll text Shane and tell him the party is back on. Just do something cool." she says.
Shane had come home and gone to his room.
"The only happy things about today were the meet & greet and my amazing birthday breakfast…" Shane sniffed, sitting on his bed.
"Shane, get dressed! Your birthday is still going to happen…" Leni says, tossing him a gift.
Shane opens it to see his birthday outfit. He sighed and put it on.
Meanwhile, everyone Shane knew was gathering and waiting to surprise him.
"He's coming!" Lola says as everyone hides.
Shane arrived as confetti rained down on him.
"Surprise! Happy 16th birthday, Shane!" everyone says as they move aside to show Mona doing a cheerleading performance for him, alongside Luke and the others.
Shane sniffed, not knowing what to say.
"Th-Thank you…this…this is a wonderful surprise…" he says, wiping away tears of joy from his eyes.
Penny hid behind a wall. "He's actually here…okay, here I go…" Penny gulped and walked up to Shane. "Um…I-I'm Penny Crygor." Penny says, blushing nervously as she looks at Shane. "And um, happy birthday…"
"Thanks. Name's Shane Loud. A pleasure." Shane says, still a little surprised by the party.
"So did you like the cheer stunt? I'm not sure if you're into cheerleading…" Luke says.
"I wasn't expecting that. And to answer your question, I was a cheerleader in middle school." Shane says. "I do like cheerleading shows, though. So you did good."
Kat and Ana were sneaking out.
"Oh, my baby is 16 now!" Sharon says. Shane blushed a bit.
"You've grown up so much, Shane." Lance says. "Me and your mother are so proud of you, son."
"Thanks, Dad." Shane says.
Soon, the party began with dancing as Luke and Sam were dancing.
Shane danced with Penny as she blushed a bit. After that, he danced with a few of his friends.
Later, Lucy reads a birthday poem. Shane yawned a bit.
Lucy closed the book and walked off, upset.
"Honey, he doesn't hate your poems." Sharon says. "He just isn't interested in it right now."
Luke began to sing for Shane. Shane looked on.
Shane just walked out of the party after a while. It just didn't feel like a party for him. It felt more like a party for Luke.
"Penny, you gotta talk to him." Kat says, popping out of her hiding spot.
"I can't. He clearly doesn't like me like that." Penny says.
"Just do it." Dribble says, drinking some punch.
"Romance isn't my cup of tea." 9-Volt says, playing video games with Lincoln.
Penny sighed and went up to Shane, who was sitting outside.
"Um, are you okay?" Penny asked.
"Does it even look like that party is about me in there?" Shane says.
"I guess not." Penny says, rubbing her arm and looks at the banners. "I'm sure I ordered your banners."
"You did, but I think they were just doing this to c-celebrate him!" Shane spat out. "I thought he would have changed…but I see he couldn't…"
"That's awful, does this Luke have an obsession with parties about him? cause sometimes it's hard to let go of obsessions." Penny says.
"Cousin Lynn told me about this…" Shane says.
"You need to tell your parents." Penny says.
"I'm going home." Shane sniffs. "It isn't a happy 16th birthday after all aside from my breakfast and meet & greet."
"That's it, we're kicking Luke's butt!" Kat says as she rushed in and leaped "Ninja kick!" She yelled.
Shane walked home in the snow. Luna was concerned. "Look, is this about Lucy's birthday poem dedicated to you?" Luna asked.
Shane then told Luna about what the party looked like. Luna felt bad. She had no idea Luke would steal the spotlight from Shane. She thought he changed.
"That's it…" Luna said and walked into the party. "LUKE!" Luna says and sees Luke holding Kat by the hair
"No fair!" Kat says kicking the air, then tossed her ninja star, but Luke melted it.
"My star!" Kat says.
"LUKE, LOOK AT ME! WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHTS TO STEAL SHANE'S BIRTHDAY?!" Luna asked.
"Luke, how could you steal his birthday?!" Lance asked as he grabbed Luke, dragging him outside, where Charity was waiting and holding a belt. Luke gulped.
"Wait, I told him to do it!" Lucy lied deciding to take the fall for him.
"Quit taking the fall for him!" Luna screamed.
"Sorry, Luke. I tried." Lucy says.
"I didn't mean to!" Luke says after Charity gives his 16 swats on his behind. Luke was sobbing.
"Maybe moving here was a mistake. Are we that much of a burden?" Shelby asked Shane, feeling guilty as Shiloh tears up.
"Luke Flynn, you apologize immediately! And tell us the truth!" Charity spat out.
He explained, saying with Shane around, the attention went to him and that would make the siblings not do a good job on his birthweek as he heard some had plans to not attend.
"If you keep this up, you'll get nothing!" Charity screamed at Luke.
Luke nodded and sniffed.
"My ninja star…Luke ruined it." Kat says.
"Not cool!" Cuphead says.
"Cuphead made me do it!" Luke says, pointing at Cuphead.
"Banana oil! Why would I do it?" Cuphead asked.
"For Lucy's attention." Luke says.
Shane went home as he sat in his dark closet and cried. Shelby hugged him.
"I should have just had my simple party…that usually works but Luke pushed me to go bigger and bigger, just so he can take it for himself and Lucy and I was planning a party for him when his mom gave us the go." Shane sniffed.
"You deserve a big party tomorrow and the 18th, we'll celebrate you. maybe the rest of the week if we have to." Shelby says and starts spinning.
With Luke, people began to leave, disgusted by his behavior.
"Not cool! You even tried to frame my brother!" Mugman says.
Luke began to tear up.
"If you don't fix this, you're off our ANH team!" Remy says.
"Wait, where's Wario?" Ana asked.
Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi tossed Wario and Waluigi into Wlem and Wandy. Angry Luigi and Alem tuber launched Wlem and Wandy into Wario and Waluigi as they collided.
"Oh, yeah!" Mario says.
"I feel like I'm missing something…" Emma says.
"Come on, Red, we're going." Ashley says and looks at Oliver, who was very angry at Luke.
"Oliver, long time, no see." Ashley says.
"Friend of yours?" Mona asked
"Ashley has a friend?!" Red asked.
"We met a long time ago. It's none of your business" The witch says and walks off.
"All of Oliver's hard work ended up being used for Luke, like, um, what's it called?" Leni asked
"A tool. He used Oliver like a tool." Lori says.
Shane was upset that his birthday had been ruined. He cried and cried as he began to take off his birthday outfit.
"Worst birthday ever." Shane sniffed.
"Luke, you have a problem. I bet you didn't even want to be around for him. Makes sense. You're not around when it's our birthdays." Lola says.
"I had stuff to do." Luke says.
"We skip our events when it's your birthday, even if it's important. We all have to make sacrifices for each other. This time, we need to make a sacrifice for Shane." Lola says.
Shane walked into the kitchen, getting a pint of rocky road ice cream, shedding tears as he went up to his room.
"Okay, here's what we're going to do. You go in and have a sleepover party with him and give him a sleepover cake." Ana says.
"No! Grandpa says I have to get home soon…he's going to get worried." Penny says
"He's old. Just use a robot clone or something." Kat says.
"I can't. I already tried that 3 years ago. He was upset." Penny says.
Shane sat in his room, watching 16 Wishes and sobbing.
Lisa sighed. "We could go back in time and stop Luke from ruining his day." Lisa says.
"No, last time we went back in time, we nearly got ourselves erased!" Lori says
"Do you realize how scary that was?!" Lynn asked.
"I'll go" Lisa says, but Leni destroyed the time machine
"My time machine!" Lisa says.
"Look, I nearly died once. I'm not losing you. Now go to sleep." Leni says.
"We can still give him a party tonight." Lucy says.
"How? He's a miserable mess." Luna says.
"Sleepover cake." Kat says coming out behind one of their family photos.
"Can you stop?" Lola asked.
"A ninja must never lower their guard." Kat says.
"Kat, must everything be a ninja thing?" Ana asked
"Yeah, who knows what can happen?" Kat says.
"Please for once?" Ana asked.
"Fine, I'll try and lower my guard." Kat says.
Luke's friends came to comfort Shane. They saw him watching his movie as he cried during a party scene.
"Hey, it's okay, cheer up…" Mona says. "I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day."
"Yeah, you have friends." Mugman says.
Shane cried. "This is a bad birthday…" He sniffed. "Never got to have cake or open my presents or sing my song for everyone…"
Later, Shane heard his family's voices downstairs. He wandered down to the kitchen.
"Surprise!" They say.
"What is this?" He says as he sees a cake with his face on it in icing.
"It's your birthday cake." Lucy says. "Shelby decorated it."
"Thank you." Shane says.
"Make a wish, sweetie." Sharon says.
Shane closed his eyes, wishing tomorrow would be better. He blew out the #1 and #6 candles, sniffing.
His siblings hugged him.
