On September 13th, Sal invited Luke to his birthday party. Luke was just happy to be away from his siblings for a while. Things were just hard at home right now, which resulted in him being gone most nights.
Savannah was making sweets for the party from cupcakes to muffins. Stephen had already made the cake.
With Lucy, she was in her room thinking of a nice poem to use at the competition. She was feeling guilty about what happened at the Fairway party. Haiku had been avoiding her since that night.
That night was a game-changer. Remy did get hurt before Luna caught him. He ended up with a few bruises and a concussion. He was fine after a few days of bed rest.
"I shouldn't have done that." Lucy says, writing down how she felt in her journal.
Later, she sees Lori still doing her chores. Lucy had almost forgotten that she was punished because of her assumptions.
At the party, Sal plays with his cards. Luke smiles and sits next to him.
"Hi." Sal says.
"Hello!" Luke says. "What are you doing?" He looked interested in Sal's cards.
"Looking at cards." Sal says.
"What kind of cards?" Luke asked.
"Pokemon cards, Yugi-oh cards, and normal trading cards" Sal says as he has a big collection. Luke was impressed.
"I approve." Luke says with a smile. "I suppose my gift will be your newest addition to the collection, then?" He gives Sal a wrapped box.
Sal opens it. It was the newest Pokémon Trading Card Game box. Luke smiled at Sal. "You're welcome." Luke says.
"Thank you." Sal says, hugging Luke.
Lucy arrives at Haiku's house and knocks on the door. Haiku answers the door.
"Haiku, I'm sorry for everything." Lucy says.
"It's enough to say you're sorry, but not prove it? That's low." Haiku says. "You hurt Remy because you're still a sore sport."
"I know, I screwed up." Lucy says. "Give me one more chance."
"Why should I? You've been jealous of my relationship with Remy from the start." Haiku says. "That's why you're doing these things to him. I know it because Stephen's been telling me."
"That's not true. I don't like you or Remy that way." Lucy says.
"Stephen saw you push Remy." Haiku says.
"Look, I'm sorry! Please, I really am!" Lucy says desperately, but Haiku slammed the door on her hand, shattering it.
"I think you should feel how my boyfriend felt that night." Haiku says coldly. "And you're uninvited to my birthday party on Halloween."
Lucy sadly left, her hand in a lot of pain.
Meanwhile, Sal was eating. He just watched Elemental Rebel Revolution perform as he ate, actually liking the music.
They soon finished as Sal clapped. Angry Luigi thinks and just looks on.
"Show us a sneak peek for ANH, Brandy." Savannah says to him and Luke.
"I'm tired." Luke says.
Soon, it was time for cake. It was a nice card themed cake that said "Happy 13th Birthday, Sal" in red icing.
"Awww, thank you…Stephen, you did amazing…" Sal says.
"Thanks, I'm one of the best bakers around." he says. Savannah frowned. He would not let that grudge go.
Everyone sang to Sal. Sal smiled and wished for Brandy and Luke to win the show.
After the party, Angry Luigi was walking home.
"It's been so long since your last adventure. You should try a new one." Savannah says.
"I could go to Wonderland again." Colleen says as Angry Luigi froze. Wonderland gave him PTSD and drove him insane. It was in that place that he unlocked Insanity for the first time and Chrissy had to calm him down.
"No!" Angry Luigi says and runs off.
Luke came home.
"Welcome back." Lucy says. Luke puts his coat and his guitar away in his personal coat closet.
"How was the party? Did you have fun?" Lucy asked. Luke nodded.
"I didn't eat any cake, though." Luke says.
"Right, your diet. Anyway, I'm planning your birthday." Lucy says. "It's the one thing I'm good at."
"I decided on one of my themes at least. And that's going to be camping. Uncle Lucas is letting me use his lake house for one of my parties this year, so that will be my second party." Luke says. "As for my first party, I am having it at Twisted Toppings. Mom paid them in advance to rent the whole place out on my birthday just so I can host the theme you picked out for me."
"I chose a music theme." Lucy says. "After your birthday, I'm leaving for Transylvania." Lucy says. That saddened Luke. He knew it was because of everything that had been happening.
Lucy heads to bed.
On September 26th, Lynn and Luke were cheering at the RWHS Homecoming game against Greendale High.
Alem tuber speeds by.
"Screw cheerleading and football. The real fun is at my basketball game" He says as Lynn growled.
Savannah gulped, seeing Stephen as Tina watched, seeing Sal on Greendale's side.
Greendale was up first at halftime as Royal Woods High was leading 40-21.
"Go, Greendale, the grass is green! Victory is even greener! Never give up, victory is just above! Go, Greendale!" Sal says being the co-captain as the Greendale High squad followed his lead.
The crowd loved this as Lynn punched a wall, cracking it out of anger.
They danced to "Holding Out For A Hero" as they did cartwheels and the human pyramid. Savannah was on top doing an upside down handstand on Sal and Gem's hands, even kicking her legs and juggling her shoes.
"Go, Gem!" her mother says as her fans cheered her on.
Luke walked off the field.
"You're up, Royal Woods…" Gem teased.
"Enough. Good luck" Savannah says, wanting to be fair.
Soon, Royal Woods High was getting ready to go up.
"We got this." Lynn says to Luke. But Oliver could see Luke beginning to tremble.
"Luke, you gotta stop trembling, you're the captain. If you fall, we all fall…" Lynn says.
"Besides, you're Luke, best at everything that you know how to do." Lana says.
"Breathe, Luke…just breathe." Oliver says.
Luke does so and soon, they come onto the field, the marching band behind them.
They started with their cheer. But Luke just froze as he had forgotten it completely. Oliver gasped.
"Come on, Luke, remember it…" Lucy says as Lisa used her telepathy to enter Luke's mind and help him remember.
"Come on, Luke!" Luna says. "You can do this!"
"1, we are the Rocket Squirrels!
2, we still can't hear you!
3, a little bit louder!
4, more, more, more!
5, we have that jive!
6, our team is super slick!
7, we kick that ball to heaven, and do you know why?
Because, number 8, the Rocket Squirrels are great, great, great!"
Luke grinned as he did his thing with the squad. As the band played "Uptown Funk" the crowd couldn't get enough of RWHS as they watched every movement.
Sal frowned looking down, tearing up, knowing he'd lose like he did in a lot of things.
In the end, both schools did well by the time the football game started up again.
The basketball game ended with Greendale making an epic comeback thanks to Randy and his pals.
"That's how we do it, easy dubs!" Randy says having scored the final shot as it was 80-50.
"We got to celebrate!" Skylia says.
"Yeah, we do!" Randy says.
However, RWHS won their football game. The final score? 60-42, in favor of the Rocket Squirrels.
"Nice job." Lucy says as she got Remy a gift. It was a computer. Remy was speechless.
"I'm sorry." Lucy says.
"Well…I forgive you." Remy says. Lucy smiled a little. Haiku was watching this, thinking Lucy would attack Remy.
"We got to celebrate!" Leni says.
"Yeah." Lynn says. Luke was a bit unsure. He then took off after remembering he invited Ronnie Anne to the RWHS Homecoming dance.
Tabby finds Lucy. "Lucy, look, at the party, I was going to let you read your poem. Well, until, you know…" Tabby says.
"Sigh." Lucy sighed.
Ronnie Anne soon arrived, waiting for Luke. Luke was in the gym, already changed out of his cheer uniform.
"Ready for the dance?" Luke asked. Ronnie Anne smiled and danced the night away with Luke.
Lynn looked on before heading off with the family.
"What about your boyfriend?" Lucy asked
"I'm not into dancing. I told him no 3 weeks ago. I wore a skirt to prom and I'm not doing it again." Lynn says, embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Alem tuber finished his ice cream as he and his pals went off on an adventure; they rushed past the forests, but got trapped in a magic trap as Emila glared.
"Quiet." Emila says as she was spying on Kali, planning to take her crystal.
Later, Luke and Ronnie Anne were still dancing as they kissed. Everyone cheered.
