Angry Luigi came for breakfast and looked around as his siblings were fighting over breakfast. He looked annoyed by this and went to eat.

At school, Mike tripped him as he fell down.

"In 2 weeks, it's Luke's birthday." a kid said.

"Yeah" Lola says. "The big 1-1… hey, it's his half birthday, you fools!" Lola says.

"Still, it means he's halfway to 11!" The kid says.

"Yeah. We're going all out for him." Lola says.

Luke overheard and quietly hissed before going to his class. Garrett felt bad, knowing his chaotic family. He patted Luke's back.

The kids cheered when Alem tuber entered his class as he was like a celebrity.

"Good morning, kids!" Miss Allegra says.

Meanwhile, Luna was thinking of what to get Luke for his half birthday. It was a big deal as he was halfway to 11.

"So, what is the party going to be like?" Sam asked.

"While the party on his actual birthday will be themed with the theme Thank Heaven Luke's Eleven, we're hosting the party at Gus' with the theme Cloud Ten And A Half, featuring lots of Luke's favorite things." Luna says to Sam.

"Am I invited?" Sam asked.

"Of course you are! You know that Luke likes you." Luna says.

Sam smiled.

With the twins, they were eating lunch with their class. Randy pushed Brandy into a trash can as everyone in the class laughed at Brandy.

Brandy teared up as Lana helped him up. "Randy, that wasn't nice." she says.

After school Brandy ran to his room tearing up as Luna and Luke were concerned.

"What happened?" Rita asked. Brandy began to cry.

"Randy bullied him during lunch." Lana says.

"Randy, why?" Rita asked.

"He got in my way." Randy says. Luna's heart broke, seeing this.

Luke held Brandy.

"He got student of the month and Randy and Lola got mad. Lola pulled his pants down in class to embarrass him." Lana says, knowing Student Of The Month usually meant that Loud getting a dinner and dessert all about them.

"How could you two do this?! You're grounded for a week!" Rita says.

Brandy sniffed as Luna fed him his dinner that night.

"Poor Munchkin…" Luna says.

"Guys, we need to talk about Luke's half-birthday." Lucy says.

"If you change my theme to anything gothic or horror, I'll be very upset!" Luke hissed before leaving the table and going to his room.

Brandy ran to be alone, sniffing.

The next day, Brandy was avoiding Lola, Luke, and Randy as they had the biggest tempers. But Luke knew how to control his temper a little better, thanks to Luna and Lucy.

Luna noticed Brandy was afraid to go to school.

"Come on, you have to get ready." Luna says.

"Yeah, underbutt." Lola teased.

"LOLA! That's another week!" Rita shouted.

Soon, everyone was heading to eat breakfast, but Brandy just left for school without breakfast.

After school, Brandy decided to run away from home, and no one noticed, since it was Brandy.

Luke was going for tryouts to a play. Luke was also mad that Lucy tried to change his half-birthday theme.

Lucy finally agreed to stop messing with the theme Luke designed.

Luke got the lead in the Grease play. He smiled.

Luke later comes home. He put his stuff away and started on his homework. Luna frowned. She was happy for him, but Brandy secretly liked drama.

"Luke, have you seen Brandy?" Luna asked.

"No" Luke says

"I guess he's with a friend or something." Luna says.

"He doesn't have friends." Luke says and grows worried.

Luna helped Luke with his homework when he needed it, then he went to wash up for dinner.

Brandy was walking alone. Two kids noticed him as Luke's brother and kidnapped him.

Meanwhile

"So, Luke, how was school?" Rita asked.

"Great! I'm starring as Danny Zuko in the end-of-the-year play, which is Grease. And of course, I still excelled in my work as always." Luke says.

"I love Grease! My favorite musical!" Luna says, taking her mind off of Brandy for the moment. Everyone took their minds off of Brandy as they congratulated Luke.

Lynn Sr. later made Luke's favorite dessert. Luke gladly took some of the blue velvet cake, eating three whole slices.

Lucy smiled as Luke ate.

After dessert, they headed upstairs to get ready for bed. When Lynn Sr. and Rita fell asleep, Alem tuber snuck out to find his brother.

Luna was tucking Luke into bed and reading him one of his favorite Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books, which was called Old School. Luke smiled sleepily as he listened for a bit.

Soon, he falls asleep as Luna puts a bookmark in the book and heads to bed herself. "Did I forget something?" She asked herself. Lincoln and Luke were fine and they were sleeping soundly.

"Nah, I'm sure everything is fine." Luna says and goes to her room.

Meanwhile, Brandy was tossed into a basement as the guys laughed and closed the door.

"Since he's Luke's brother, I'm sure he's worth a lot." They laughed.

The next day, the Louds were waking up as Lori was on her phone like usual.

"Okay, you guys, get ready or we'll literally be late" Lori groaned.

Luke was already out of bed and dressed, and was eating his breakfast, looking at his Grease script. He had play practice today after school.

"Oh, Luke, you were always a morning person. Just like Brandy." Leni says. "Where is he?"

The others froze. If Rita and Lynn Sr. found out, then Lori was dead. The others would be in trouble, but Lori was the eldest.

"We can blame it on Lincoln." Lola says

"Hey, why me?" Lincoln asked.

"Because, let's face it, you're usually the troublemaker with schemes." Lola says

"Maybe we should blame it on you. You did embarrass him." Lori says.

"I sense the regular Loud bickering." Lincoln says as he, Luke, and Randy leave, not willing to put up with their siblings' shenanigans.

They see Alex, Jack, Clyde, Garrett, Stephen, and Remy out waiting to walk with them. The group then heads off to school.

Later, Lola and Lana find Lincoln. "We lied to mom and dad and said he was at school and if he doesn't come home, we'll be grounded for a week." Lana says.

"Lola's already grounded for 2 weeks, so it would add a 3rd week to her already growing groundation." Lincoln pointed out. Lola hissed.

"Guys." Lucy says scaring them " I have an idea. After school, meet me at the bakery." Lucy says.

At lunch, Luke was eating with his friends.

"Sorry your brother is missing." Lonnie says.

"Yeah, he sure was cute." Colleen says.

Luke hissed and left the table.

"What?" Lonnie asked.

"He doesn't like it when you mention his siblings." Garrett says.

"Is he even happy in that house?" Remy asked.

"I'll send my dad there again after play practice." Garrett says. "Something is seriously wrong with that family."

During lunch, Alem tuber had snuck out to an alleyway and was attacking a couple of them in some hero uniform. "Where's Brandy?!" He says as he ran down the stairs and leaped down and punched one guy and kicked another before he cleaned house and saw nothing.

After school, there was a flier on a wall that said "Ransom- Luke's brother."

"Gasp, Brandy was kidnapped!" Lucy says

"Yeah, mock my disability, won't ya?!" Lola snarked.

"We gotta save him!" Lincoln says.

"How? It's not like we have a tracker." Lana says

"We do." Lisa says as she takes out her tracker. "I can track everyone except Luke. He keeps escaping me each time I try giving him a shot."

The Louds looked at her as Lucy grabbed her. "If you ever try that again, you won't like me." Lucy says.

Later, the kidnappers were expecting money, but Alem tuber jumped through the window as he kicked the two guys. A 3rd aimed a gun at him.

"A gun? Seriously?" Alem tuber says, but Lucy hits him with a shovel as Luna and Luke open the basement to see a bleeding and abused Brandy, who looked hurt.

"Munchkin! I'm so sorry!" Luna says, really regretting not checking on him.

Luke hisses and leaves, not wanting to be part of this anymore. He headed to play practice without a word.

They arrive home as they sit on the couch as Angry Luigi frowned, hearing that he was going to miss a play.

"You in a play? That's a laugh." Alem tuber says as most of the Loud sisters, except Luna and Leni, laughed at Brandy.

"Listen, that's Luke's thing." Lucy says as the sisters leave.

"I'm going to my room. I'm grounded because of you, idiot." Alem tuber says, leaving.

"I should leave. I'm not wanted." Brandy says. But nobody wanted to go through the rescue process again and Brandy had been through enough.
