On March 15th, Luna was getting ready for the show.
"Luke will win, I know it." Lucy says.
Luke hissed.
"What's wrong?" Lori asked
"Can't you see he's nervous?! This is the semifinals…" Lisa says.
"Oh, wow, seriously, time literally flies…" Lori says. Luke hissed and shook.
A girl named Gemma was walking around, just having moved to Royal Woods. She noticed ANH was going on.
"Oh!" she says. She sees Luke.
"Hi!" She says to Luke, who looks nervous.
Luke shook as Gemma smiled at him.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I'm so nervous…" Luke sniffed.
"I'm sure you'll win…" Gemma says. He sniffed.
Soon, the show was starting as Luna was excited. Luke just looked nervous. He no longer felt excited.
"Luke, son, what's wrong?" Lynn Sr. says as he sees Luke is unhappy.
"Cheer. For. Luna!" Luke shouted as he walked off.
Lynn Sr. tries to comfort him. Luke just looks down.
Luna went up as fans cheered. Lucy snuck backstage and was planning to hijack the show so Luke could win and be happy. But that plan backfired as Lynn caught her.
"Let me go! Luna's making Luke upset." Lucy says.
"Luke's nerves are making him upset, Lucy. Dad told us everything." Lynn says. "Luna did nothing to him."
Luna finished as fans cheered. She came to see Luke.
"Are you okay?" she asked. Luke sniffed and still felt nervous. Luke looked at her and started to shake.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked.
"He's scared of losing." Lucy says.
"Luke, you'll do great!" Luna says.
Soon it was Luke's turn. He goes out on stage, performing "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys.
Fans cheered and girls screamed for Luke.
The judges hit the platinum button as Luke gasped.
Lucy cheered for Luke.
"Nice job!" Luna says. Luke smiled, knowing he was going to the finals.
Later, the finals would have Luna and Luke
Luna carried a sleeping Brandy. Luke just walked in silence.
"Luke?" Rita asked. Luke stayed quiet.
"What's wrong?" Rita asked.
"I'm gonna lose! I KNOW IT!" Luke cried.
"Win or lose, we still love you, Luke." Rita says.
Lucy hugged Luke and glared at Luna through her bangs.
Luke was hissing once they got home.
Lynn Sr. made dinner as Lucy took Luke's food to his room and ate with him. Luke ate his dinner in silence.
"You wanna talk about it?" Lucy asked.
"The finals. I'm already nervous about them." Luke says.
Lucy nodded.
"I know you all just want Luna to win. That's not hard to figure out. Considering she gets louder cheers and all." Luke says coldly.
"That's not true. I tried to sabotage her act." Lucy confessed.
"I would have been disqualified if that happened!" Luke cried.
Lucy just realized that and looked down. Luke sniffed.
"You'll win." Lucy says.
"Everyone just loves Luna more…" Luke sniffed.
"That's not true." Lucy says.
"Everyone would rather see Luna win. I see how it is." Luke says sadly. "I'll make it easy for you all and just go. It's clear who the favorable winner is."
Later, Lucy gathered her siblings except Luna at 10:00 pm
"Guys I need you all to support Luke, too, or he'll run away." Lucy says.
"We do support Luke." Leni says.
"Support him more than Luna." Lucy says.
"Okay, look, whoever wins wins." Lynn says
"Sigh." Lucy says.
"Besides, we're still family. That's what matters." Lori says.
But Luke had left before the sibling meeting.
Lucy growled and began to weep. "I hate you all!" Lucy says, shoving Lola and Lana aside.
"Wow, Lynn, Luke's like you. You both can't take losses." Lola says.
They soon use Lisa's tracker to find Luke.
"Luke, we're sorry!" Leni says.
Luke was at his friend's house.
"Luke, please come home! Lucy needs you and I'm sorry…I never knew entering would drift this family apart. If you come home, I'll never do music again." Luna says as the siblings gasped.
"I swear I always get dragged into these messes." Alem tuber thought.
"You didn't do anything to give up your hobby." Luke says coldly.
"Look, what will it take for you to forgive us?" Luna asked.
"Give me a little attention, too! Because Luna is not the only one in the show, missy!" Luke hissed.
"We do. Leni even designs your costumes and we promise to give you attention." Lori says.
Luke sniffed.
