"Kids, go to bed." Lynn Sr. says.

They sniff.

"No Christmas." Lincoln sniffed as the siblings headed upstairs.

"You have a lot of nerve, attacking a kid in a wheelchair!" Lance says.

"That Luke kid was trying to break the family apart!" Lynn Sr. says as Gwen looks scared.

"Stop it!" Rita says.

Shane was tossing and turning in his sleep. Lisa reveals a TV in her room as the siblings watch.

They watched Dream Boat, then saw a bunch of boring news as they saw a news crew outside their house.

"That's a cute house!" Leni says as the other siblings gasped.

"Mom, Dad, what is literally going on?" Lori asked.

Lynn Sr. and Rita noticed Lucy and Gwen being taken to the hospital.

"What happened?" Rita asked.

"I'm so sorry. I was driving and I saw a girl out of nowhere. I barely had time to react." The driver says.

The siblings felt bad. They should have just let Lucy explain herself.

"Guys, tomorrow is Shane's birthday and I have the perfect cake idea." Lola says.

The next day, Luan was bringing breakfast in bed for Shane's Sweet 16. Shane woke up and stretched.

"Wow, birthday breakfast! I never got this before!" Shane says.

"Happy birthday, Shane!" They say.

Shane was smiling as he savored every bite of his breakfast.

Meanwhile

"Hey, is there a birthday going on at that Loud house? If so, I'm doing a photoshoot. They usually ruin my shoots on their birthdays." Luke says.

"Shane Loud himself!" Charity says. "Sakes alive, he's amazing!"

"A Loud is still a Loud" Luke says.

"You're dating one." Charity says.

"Point taken." Luke says.

Meanwhile, Gwen was getting up, bruised a bit and sees Lucy on her bed, unconscious.

"Lucy will live." the doctor says. Gwen smiled.

The Louds were going to take Shane to the mall for a fun day. They see Luke.

"Oh, it's Luke." Lola glared.

"Listen, it's my cousin's birthday and you can't make today about you." Lynn says to Luke.

"My mom already told me that if I messed this day up, I'd be grounded for a week. So, no worries. This day is about Shane, after all." Luke says.

"Huh?" The louds asked, shocked that Luke was letting someone have their day.

"Well, have a nice day." Leni says as they walk off.

They soon arrive at the mall.

"This is where I work." Leni says to Shane.

"Hey, Leni." Fiona says.

"Fiona, this is my cousin Shane." Fiona says.

"Oh, I know this guy!" Fiona says. "Shane Loud, famous singer and teen model!"

"The Shane Loud is here in Reininger's?!" Miguel says, excited.

The Louds were pushed aside by fangirls. Shane just smiled and signed autographs and took pictures with fans.

Later…

"I was thinking maybe the two of us could, I don't know, enter ANH. We could win." Luna says.

"Sure." Shane says. as they fistbumped.

"Ugh, you can come to the party." Lori tells Luke.

"Charity and her son were already invited." Rita says.

Later

"Okay, guys, let's face it. Shane has to stay. If he leaves Royal Woods, we are screwed." Lori says.

"Yeah, he has enough star power to get Luke not to separate us." Lincoln says as Lynn looks down, thinking of Lucy.

"I shouldn't have scared her." Lynn says.

"Where's Lucy?" Luke asked.

"She's at home." Lynn lies and covers Leni's mouth.

Later, before the party, Luna and Shane were getting ready.

"Shane, I think Luke and you will be best of friends." Luna says.

"Tell me more about this Luke." Shane says. "He sounds interesting."

"It's best if Lucy tells you." Luna says

Shane goes to the hospital. "Hey, Lucy." Shane says as Lucy is awake. "What's Luke like?"

"He's cute." Lucy says.

"Is that all you know about him?" Shane says.

"He can sing and do a lot of other cool things." Lucy says. Shane smiled.

Luna was preparing a song for Shane while Luan handled the food and cake. The others began decorating for the party and wrapped gifts.

Luke came to visit Lucy as Lucy explained everything. Luke luckily understood everything.

"I just get fed up with them sometimes. I even set off Shane's PTSD…" Lucy sniffed.

Lynn came up.

"Lucy? I'm so sorry!" Lynn says.

Lucy looks away, scared. Lynn frowned.

"Look, no one is mad at you." Lynn says.

"You all considered me a mistake." Lucy says.

Meanwhile, Luna showed Shane the schools.

When they entered the high school, Shane grinned.

"It's amazing!" He says exploring. He gasped when he saw the choir and the music club.

Shane then saw the drama club.

"So what's your school like?" Luna asked.

"Smaller than this." Shane says.

Luna smirked. "You guys should move here." She says.

"Really?" Shane asked. Luna nodded.

"I would love nothing more." Shane says. "Petoskey Falls schools are small to medium in size and don't have the clubs and stuff like you have here."

Luna smiled. Shane then sighed as thoughts of his past birthdays came back to haunt him.

"I am so sick of them playing favorites!" Shane screamed. "They missed plays, shows, and numerous other things! Heck, they didn't notice I was accepted into a music school here because they were busy with Shiloh."

Luna felt bad. Shane was soon shedding tears as Luna hugged him.

"Do I even want to celebrate with them, Luna?" Shane asked.

"I don't know." Luna says. Shane walked away from the school.

Luna soon blindfolds him. Shane had nothing to say as they arrived at Lynn's Table.

Luna removes it as purple and silver confetti falls on Shane. Shane looks around.

"Happy 16th birthday, Shane!" Everyone says.

"Wow, a real birthday party! What a surprise!" Shane says.

"Yeah, it is." Lori says.

"My first real party!" Shane says.

Luke was there, smiling at Shane.

"He helped plan this. Lucy asked and he did most of the work." Lisa says.

"This is amazing!" Shane says.

The party began with gifts. Shane saw no gift from his parents, so he opened the gift from Luna.

It was a new electric guitar. Shane squeals and hugs Luna. Luna smiled.

Shane opened Lincoln's gift. It was a Nintendo Switch. Shane gasped.

"Do I have to share this with anyone?" Shane asked.

"No." Lincoln says.

"Awesome!" Shane says.

Shiloh got him a Shane toy. Shane smiled at the toy likeness of himself.

Shane opened Gwen's gift next. It was a portable stage.

"Awesome! Thanks!" Shane says.

Gwen smiled. "You're welcome." she says.

After a few more presents, it was time to eat.

Lynn Sr. made Shane's favorite.

"Ca-Lynn-mari and rice noodles!" Shane says as he begins to eat. Luke sighed.

"Mmmm! So good!" Shane says. He soon finished eating and went to explore the party.

Lucy was waking up at the hospital as Rita came to pick her up. Other than a massive bruise, she was fine and she was really lucky.

Rita took Lucy home without telling anyone, knowing Lucy would feel uncomfortable

Meanwhile

"So you got a girlfriend or boyfriend?" Luna asked Shane.

"I'm single, actually. No girl…or guy, for that matter…has ever noticed me." Shane says. "I'd like to experience romance one day, though."

"Maybe you will. Whoever ends up with you will be lucky to have you." Luna says as Shane smiles a little.

"Thanks. That means a lot coming from you." Shane says.

Soon, it was 15 minutes until cake time. Shane had gone off to be alone.

Meanwhile, Lucy groaned, holding her head and having nightmares about her siblings attacking Luke.

She woke up, crying. Her body ached in pain.

At Shane's party, Shane was sitting in a booth alone. The Louds weren't sure how to approach him. He was never like this in the past. It was like they didn't know him at all.

"Oh, hello. Did you need something?" Shane says.

"Are you okay?" Leni asked.

"Their blatant favoritism made them leave the party…" Shane says. "Shiloh wanted to go to a gymnastics gym! Sure. Have fun…leave your oldest son here to celebrate with his cousins alone…."
