Penny arrived at Shane's hotel using a jetpack. This was one of Shane's days off in Ann Arbor and Penny wanted to have a date with him.
"Hey, Shane." Penny says with a smile. "Would you like to go on a date?" Penny asked.
Shane thinks. "Sure. But no wild adventures. I can't handle that right now." He says. "The stress of this tour has me going to so many places."
"You're on an adventure anyway, so I don't blame you" Penny says as Shane smiles, thankful that Penny was understanding. Tours could be adventures in themselves.
Shane goes to get dressed.
Colleen goes to Garrett and Remy.
"Remy, I need your help." Colleen says wanting to win ANH.
"I'm listening…" Remy says.
"Why don't we team up and work together?" Colleen says.
"Hmmm…" Remy thinks.
"Luke didn't consider us and Brandy and I are destined to be together, plus you and Brandy were awesome together." Colleen says.
"Why can't we team up with Luke?!" Remy asked
"Because Gemma says the max number is 5 and I can't leave my boyfriend out." Colleen says.
"So you want 6 members?" Garrett asked.
"Kinda." Colleen says, thinking with her heart. Lonnie facepalmed.
"He doesn't like you like that. We know that!" Lonnie screamed.
"He will once we win." Colleen says.
"He hates you!" Garrett screamed. "Do you not know what happened at the Final Fling?"
"What?" Colleen asked. Garrett told her.
"Oh, yeah…he kept trying to leave, so I cuffed him. he bailed out of doing it." She says, a bit upset he broke traditions.
"You can't force someone to date you." Garrett says.
Soon, Shane and Penny went out. Penny chose a nice, simple restaurant.
"This is nice, but is Luke okay?" Penny asked, concerned.
"He hasn't been himself lately." Shane says.
Penny looked worried.
Meanwhile, Pam was at a fashion competition and used both Oliver and Emma for her models.
Oliver looked a bit annoyed that he had to sit for 4 hours just for a crazy hairstyle. Thank goodness they won.
"I wanna thank you two." Pam says. "I couldn't have won without you 2. Unlike my other siblings, who ditched."
"You messed up my natural auburn curls!" Oliver screamed.
"Oh, it will go back to normal." Pam says.
"This is why we hate makeovers." Griffin says.
"Hey, my makeovers are awesome!" Pam says.
Oliver screamed and ran off. Pam sighed.
"I like your makeovers" Emma says as Pam feels guilty.
"Dad, are you mad?" She asked.
Gabriel sighed. "No, just fix your brother's hair."
Pam looks for Oliver. "From now on, I'll only give Emma makeovers."
"I'm hideous!" Oliver screamed.
"Magic!" Emma says.
"Not now…" Pam says.
"But…" Emma says as Pam literally zipped Emma's mouth
Pam tries to fix Oliver. "Now how to reverse…" She tried to fix it, but nothing worked. Emma used magic to restore Oliver's auburn curls. Oliver smiled.
"Oh…that's what you meant." Pam says as Emma glared, mouth still zipped.
"Do not touch my curls anymore!" Oliver hissed.
"So, are you going to the Freedom Fest yacht party?" Shane asked.
"Depends on if I'm free." Penny says.
"It'll be fun!" Shane says. "Mrs. Charity's yacht is huge and it has a pool and a hot tub!"
"I'm not you, Shane. Sadly, I don't have the free luxuries you get" Penny says looking down
Shane looked hurt and turned to leave. "I think I'm just going to take back my invitation!" Shane sniffed. Penny sighed.
The next day, Wario and the others were hard at work and stuff when Penny barged in.
"I'll kill him!" She screamed as everyone held her back.
"Hey, what's wrong with her?" Wario asked
"Perhaps a new Earth culture." Orbison says.
"You want to make me work on the 4th of July!" Penny says.
"5-Volt, Ashley, and Mona already requested the day off." Wario says. Penny had a rocket launcher.
"Wait!" Everyone screamed
"Shane's mad at me! You made him be mad at me!" Penny screamed.
"Not my problem." Wario says as Penny actually shot the rocket, causing an explosion. Wario had inhaled some smoke, but was okay. He had been through much worse.
"Okay, fine, you can have the day off." Wario grumbled, going to go treasure hunting.
Penny gasped, realizing her grandfather was hurt.
"Grandpa! Guys, get up!" Penny says, realizing she hurt her friends.
"I'll live…" Mona groaned as she had some wounds.
Shane screamed when he entered the hotel room. He threw his phone into his suitcase and sobbed.
"Mugman is going to kill me. Charity's going to kill me…" Penny sobbed.
Penny came to find Shane. "Shane, hey, look, I'm going to be there, but tell me, are you autistic?" Penny asked with tears in her eyes.
"A bit." Shane says.
"I won't judge." Penny says.
"I have Asperger's Syndrome." Shane admitted.
"Oh, that? Huh, Lisa has it, too." Penny says.
Shane began to cry. "You're judging me!" He says.
"No, I just noticed it's perfectly okay." Penny says, a bit surprised Shane and Lisa had the same condition.
"You could even ask Mrs. Sharon and she'll tell you the same thing." Luna says.
Suddenly, Kat and Ana kicked the door down, bruised up.
"Oh, hey." Penny says, nervous as the twins were glaring.
"It was Wario's fault." Penny says.
"You shot us!" They say, swords in hand.
"What?!" Shane asked.
"Look, I was pissed off by Wario and I sort of shot them with…a rocket launcher." Penny stammered.
"Cool!" Lisa says.
On the 4th, Tina woke up on her half birthday. The Yates family surprised her with a special breakfast.
With Charity, she was on her yacht, preparing for later.
"If I do good, can I have a party about me?" Luke asked.
"Pumpkin, what did we talk about before we came to the marina?" Charity asked.
"Being nice." Luke sighed. "And not to expect a celebration for everything I do that isn't worth celebrating."
Kat and Ana ran past them. "Yacht food!" They say.
"Girls, not until 4:00, okay? We're still working on stuff." Charity says. They groan.
"Come on, Ana, let's go." Kat says as they leap off.
Charity was looking over the decorations for the celebration. Kat and Ana try to help, but trip. Lucy sighed.
Luke was with Shane.
"So, 12 days until your big day, Shane…are you excited?" Luke asked him.
He nodded. "But I think my siblings and parents forgot already."
"You need to have faith." Luke says.
"They forgot it most years, Luke." Shane says, working on his patriotic stage costume.
"Okay, they're horrible." Luke says.
"They never mean to forget…" Shane says.
"That's what they all say…" Luke hissed.
A few hours later, it was time for the yacht party.
Penny arrived as Shane was working on his pre-show yacht selfie. People were dancing to the music being played by the pre-show DJ. Luna and Sam dance together.
Lucy sighed, wanting to go home. Charity looked annoyed and stressed by the fact that the party was already boring people.
"If you are going to gripe and complain, young lady, then why did you come?!" Charity asked her.
"I just wanted to be here to support you, but I still can't get over the fact I killed my own sister. I've tried contacting Lynn's spirit for forgiveness, but I got nothing." Lucy says.
"Why don't you try and enjoy yourself? It may get your mind off it." Charity suggests as Lucy smiled a bit.
Meanwhile, Shiloh prepared for a big cannonball. He dove into the pool, doing said cannonball and soaking Shane clean through while he was getting final alterations done in his stage costume.
Penny gasped. "Shane! Are you okay?!" She asked.
He coughed and screamed, crying. Penny and Luke took Shane to get cleaned up and dried off.
"Shiloh!" Sharon and Lance say. He looked guilty for ruining Shane's costume and making Shane upset.
"I'm sorry…" he sniffed.
"Sweetie, I know cannonballs are a thing you like to do, but your brother was trying to get alterations to his costume done on the pool deck since it was the only place that didn't have people." Sharon told Shiloh.
Luke got the costume off of Shane while Penny dried him off.
"Now I don't have a costume." he sniffed as Penny held him.
"You do now!" Oliver says, showing up with an even better costume for Shane. Shane gasped at the sight of it.
"I love it!" He says.
Kat and Ana were eating as Ana smiled.
"We have a family now." Ana says thinking. "I wanna go back to training so I can protect mom from anything."
"Let's just focus on having a good time today." Kat says.
Ashley even showed up as she sat alone. Red was swimming.
Luke had finished drying Shane's previous costume as he put it away.
"Are you doing okay, Shane?" Luke asked him.
"He did it on purpose!" Shane cried. "He ruined my costume so I wouldn't perform!"
"Really?" Oliver asked.
"That's what I'm convinced of." Shane says.
Later, Ashley offered Lucy some food.
"Here si- I mean, friend." Ashley says.
"Thanks " Lucy says.
Some people were doing limbo dances, going swimming, and other stuff as Luke and Shane got ready for their performances.
Soon it was time as everyone got their seats for the show.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to thank you all for being here at the first annual Freedom Fest yacht party! This is a new tradition for us all and I'm so happy that you are all having a great time! Now it's time for the entertainment portion of the evening. While our two main stars of the night are making final preparations for their performances, I have a real treat for you all. The Oakley Academy Golden Songbirds acapella group are going to perform their USA Medley. And may I ask that during the performance, out of respect, that you do not demand that my son appear." Charity says.
"Same goes for mine." Sharon says.
"So, once again, I present to you, the Oakley Academy Golden Songbirds acapella group performing their USA Medley." Charity says as the group came on stage and performed.
People clapped and cheered as they continued to sing.
Luke and Shane were getting ready as the Foxes were preparing for their performance.
"Good luck, you five." Luke says to them.
"Thank you." Stevie says.
The Foxes went on stage as soon as the acapella group finished, doing a performance of "Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly" by Aaron Tippin.
The crowd was loving the performance.
Oliver then sang "Have You Forgotten?" by Darryl Worley, eliciting a few tears from most of the crowd.
"On this day, we thank those who fought for our freedom. We mourn those who lost their lives in that fight. Support our troops, ya'll!" Griffin says once Oliver finishes.
Luke waits for his turn, hearing claps from the crowd.
"Now the moment you have all been waiting for…our first star of the evening, my son, Luke Huntington!" Charity says.
The crowd erupted in cheers as Luke took to the stage, smiling at the attention. He began to perform Fake ID as the crowd went wild, especially Mugman, who loved this song.
Luke then performed Let 'Er Rip, Let Me Entertain You, and Not Ready To Make Nice.
Fans cheered as Shane watched.
Sal was clapping. Luke bowed when he finished as Jason watched.
"And finally, for our grand finale, a guy who we know is going places…a guy who truly needs no introduction, but is getting one, anyway, Shane Loud!" Charity says.
Fans cheered and screamed once Shane appeared with his name in huge light-up letters on stage. Shane began performing Watch Me Work to start his set.
Girls screamed. He then did one of his new songs, Ocean Drive. To say the fans loved the song was an understatement. He was the best part of the show.
Later, he danced with Penny.
"Um, Shane? About ANH?" Penny asked.
"Yes, you can join me, Luke, and Sal." Shane says. "Is that what you wanted to know?"
"No, I was going to say good luck, but I'd love to be part of your team!" Penny says, excited to be part of the team.
Mugman goes up to Mona. "Hey, you wanna team up for ANH?" He asked
"Sure. I gotta tell Art and Deco. They're my bandmates" Mona says
"You're in a band?!" Mugman asked.
"We could perform, but we didn't want to upstage Luke." Mona says.
"Show us!" Luke says.
"A-Are you sure? I haven't done it in a bit..." Mona confesses.
"Come on Mona, you can do it!" 9-Volt says as everyone chanted her name.
"Okay, Hot Slices, assemble!" Mona says as she, Art, and Deco perform a song.
"This here is Mona Pizza!
Makers of the world's best eats-a!
Fresh sauce and cheese galo-ore,
Brought straight to your front do-or! (Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!)" Mona started as fans cheered.
"This here is Mona Pizza! (Buon giorno!)
Makers of all tasty treats-a! (Buono!)
Our pie's crispy, crunchy cru-ust, (Bellissima!)
Leaves others in the du-ust. (Mamma mia!)
Grab a hot slice and take a big bite!
It's so good that you'll start a fight for more…"
Fans cheered and clapped as Mugman was blushing.
"Where's your girlfriend?" Chalice asked.
"We broke up." Cuphead says.
"Mona, Mona, Mona!" Fans chant as Penny clapped. Luke got nervous seeing this as Mona could beat him in ANH.
"Cuphead, these 3 need to join our team." Mugman says as Cuphead rolled his eyes.
"All right." Cuphead says.
Everyone was really having a nice time, eating specially pizza.
"I swear, every time she sings that, I get hungry for pizza." Kat says.
"Me, too!" Ana says.
"You guys were amazing!" Luna says
"Sorry, we took the spotlight." Mona says to Charity.
"Hey, absolutely no problem at all! You all were amazing!" Charity says.
Mugman kissed her cheek as she blushed.
