The next day, Sal woke up. He saw Luke and Ollie in his room.
Sal shrieked, scared, and calmed down upon seeing them.
"Happy birthday, Sal!" They say.
"Thank you." he says.
"We're taking you to a special place for your party later. For now, it's time to eat some breakfast!" Luke says.
"It's Friday." Sal says.
Sal eats the breakfast, which he loved.
Later, Sal heads to school like usual.
Sal was walking when the triplets trip him as they laugh.
Ollie and Luke cleared their throats. "Are we going to have to beat you three down the easy way or the hard way?" They ask, arms crossed after helping Sal to his feet.
"Why are you in Greendale?" Troy asked as Sal goes to the Greendale high school.
"We know when someone is being messed with. And if you hurt Sal again, we'll be back with the Foxes." Luke says. He had gained all five of their trusts back and knew that hero teaming with them would be super beneficial.
They gulp and nod, running like cowards. Ollie and Luke go back to their school.
Alem tuber arrived at school as Mike and Josh spy on Alem tuber.
"Still hate him." Mike says.
In class, Luke was thinking of his birthday. He knew it was only 3 months away, but he was excited about it.
The other thing everyone was talking about was the Oakley Academy high school Homecoming celebration in mid-October. Luke was also excited about that.
Shane was splashed by water as the class giggled, Ollie giggling the hardest. Shane looked down as tears filled his eyes.
At lunch, Sal sits with his friends as Bill and Angry Luigi notice the triplets spying.
Jason sighed. "I heard Luke and Ollie threatened them." He says.
"Yeah, it's true." Sal says as some kids come up.
"You're part of Luke's friend group, right?" one asked Sal. Sal nodded, thinking they'd hurt him.
"We want your autograph!" they say.
Sal began to sign some autographs.
Later, Sal got an A on his English test as he smiled.
The triplets tried shooting gold beams at him, but Savannah lifts a mirror reflecting the beams, turning a book into a golden book.
"That's it, Cosmic buddies! After school, it's go time." Troy says.
Soon, the final bell rang.
"Ah, finally" Alem tuber says as the cosmic buddies get ready to leave but the triplets were waiting for them.
"Okay, what will it be? A battle, a high speed chase, or a high speed battle?" Alem tuber says as suddenly, the triplets shot golden beams, but Alem tuber dodged.
"A battle it is." Alem tuber says as Angry Luigi grabbed Alem tuber.
"A battle that we're staying away from" Angry Luigi says running as Savannah grabbed Sal as they ran as the triplets smirk.
Ollie and Luke grabbed the triplets with the Foxes behind them.
"We warned you punks!" Ollie says.
"And now you're dead!" Luke screamed.
The triplets soon used their jetpacks and flew off.
"You really don't know what is up." They say, entering a limo and drive off.
"Are you all right, Sal?" Luke asked.
Sal wasn't even there.
The limo drove after the cosmic buddies as Alem tuber took notice. He smirked as he dodged a missile and grabbed it and realized Charity would be mad if there was damage, so he had to stop it from exploding. He held it for as long as it could before it stopped moving as they shot another one. Alem tuber caught it as Tristan smirked and shot a 3rd, causing an explosion as they laughed as Alem tuber fell on the limo.
"Now for the rest" Troy says as they drive by as Angry Luigi, Bill, and Sal peeped.
"Okay. They're gone, what do we do?" Sal asked as Alex took out his sword.
"We fight!" Alex says.
They were driving back to them.
"Here they come." Savannah says as the limo turns into a mech.
"What the?" Jason asked, walking up.
"We can handle it." Alem tuber says as Angry Luigi was unsure.
Sal was peeing his pants. People laughed at this as Sal looked embarrassed.
"Leave us alone!" Savannah says as the mech goes for a punch but Angry Luigi used his hammer to block the punch and Jason leaped and starts punching the mech but it grabbed Jason as Jason smiled nervously.
"Best 2 out of 3…" He says nervously.
"Okay, that's it. No holding back." Savannah says using her plunge-it to destroy the mech and saves Jason as fans cheer.
The triplets groan. "Okay, we'll destroy you without the mech. Sal, you're a dead man."
"Remember, we are not bringing the foxes or Luke into this" Alem tuber says.
The triplets smirk. "You can't beat us. We'll turn you into gold. Not all of you have enough speed to dodge."
"Okay. Now we need Luke and Ollie." Sal says, peeing again.
Luke and Ollie arrive as the triplets shoot beams as Alem tuber and Jason dodged, but Angry Luigi and Sal were turned to golden statues. Ollie got Sal and Angry Luigi back to normal.
It didn't work.
"Only we can turn them back." Troy says.
"Why do you like to hurt people? Are you three that entitled that you think the world has to revolve around you and you only? WRONG!" Luke says as he picks the triplets up and forces them to turn the boys back before he brings Oliver and his siblings into this.
Oliver sees this and gets annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah, you're annoyed because you have to save us." Alem tuber says, cracking his knuckles "Thanks, I guess"
"You're lucky this time. We'll be heading back to Golden City." Troy says as they leave
"What is that?" Savannah asked.
"A dimension that literally revolves around them." Alem tuber says.
"So, Sal, where do you wanna go today my treat" Savannah says as fans wanted Luke's autograph.
Sal was still traumatized. He sucked his thumb as Ollie went to clean him up.
"It's all right now…" Ollie says. Taking care of June's messes gave him some experience in this type of situation. "You're going to be okay."
Later, the cosmic buddies went to the circus and went on a roller coaster as Sal was still upset.
"Hey, you guys, guess what?" Alem tuber asked.
"What?" Bill says.
"Boo!" Alem tuber says, wearing a creepy mask, scaring the living daylights out of Angry Luigi and Sal.
Sal didn't like any of this.
Later, they go to the park as Sal rides down the slides. Alem tuber was thinking about another prank to Angry Luigi. Angry Luigi was relaxing as Alem tuber put hot sauce in his burger as Angry Luigi looked like he would breathe fire.
After that, they go to see Jungle Cruise.
"This movie sucks." Sal says.
"You said it." Jason says.
Later, they ran into Mike, Josh, and Oime.
"Oh, no, not these guys" Sal says
"Relax, we're off the clock since Luke says so." Mike says.
"Heh, simps." Alem tuber says as Savannah had to go prepare the cake for Sal.
With Luke, he was preparing for Sal's "inner child"-themed celebration at Urban Air. He and Ollie were decorating and setting tables and making sure things were set. They even have an area for card games and Pokémon trading card battles and trading card stations.
Sal was walking alone as he saw a bunch of robbers and used cards to cut them, giving them paper cuts as they ran off. He then saw the party stuff once he arrived there.
Confetti fell on him. "Happy birthday, Sal!" Everyone says.
Sal smiled. He knew Jerbo, Viney, and Skara wouldn't show up. But Gus, Willow, and Hunter did. Willow's dads had brought the three of them to the party.
The party began hot with Luke on stage. Luke was smiling as he sang a song for Sal.
Sal smiled at Luke. "I love it!" Sal says.
Later, he looked lonely as everyone danced or bounced on trampolines together.
He goes to be alone.
"Hey, where'd Sal go?" Savannah asked.
"If those triplets show up, I'll break every bone in their bodies." Alem tuber says.
"No." Savannah says as she and Angry Luigi look for him.
They find him in a park.
"You're missing your party, Sal. Why are you sad?" Savannah asked him.
"I have no girlfriend." Sal says.
"That shouldn't stop you from enjoying your birthday, Sal." Savannah says.
Sal came back in time to open his presents. There were a lot of them.
He opens Luke's gift first where he receives a Pokémon card collector's set. "Do you like it?" Luke asked.
Sal smiled and nodded. He then opened the gift from Ollie, which was a Stay-Puft plush toy that smelled like toasted marshmallows. It was a scented plush toy.
"Thank you." he says.
"Of course." Ollie says.
Sal opened Savannah's gift. It was new Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Sal thanked Savannah for her gift before opening the rest of his gifts.
Later, the card games begin. Keith was recording this as Sal joined one of the Pokémon card games.
Everyone was cheering Sal on. Sal beat Lincoln in his 1st try.
"Way to go, Sal!" Ollie says.
"He's good…" Clyde says.
Sal and Ollie soon faced off. It was intense, but Sal managed to win as everyone cheered.
Later, Sal tried some snacks. Luke and Stephen had made a lot of the inner child-themed snacks and baked goods. Ollie dashed off to get the piñata while everyone ate.
Ollie returns with the building block piñata.
Sal gasped. It looked amazing.
"Wow!" he says and soon breaks it as candy falls out of it.
Luke looked at Remy, who was stress-eating. He then collapsed. Garrett rushed to Remy's side.
"Is he breathing?" Victoria asked, worried.
"Quick, get him to the hospital in case he has leukemia again." Savannah says as Luke and the others leave the cosmic buddies were about to follow but the triplets got in the way.
"No, no, no, not tonight!" Melony says.
Soon, they arrive at the hospital. Maria carries Remy, who opens his eyes.
"Is he…" Haiku asked, hoping he didn't get leukemia again.
"He's okay. He just had an anxiety attack." Maria says. "But his heart rate is pretty high."
"How? What stressed him?" Haiku asked.
"He just wanted to win and he knew Luke would probably win and take it from him. And of course, he's still feeling the relapse after effects." Maria says.
"That's not happening." Garrett says.
Meanwhile, Melony shot exploding seeds as they blew the triplets up, sending them flying.
"And stay out!" Melony says as Sal decides to just end his party right there and then.
"We always fight on my birthday. Never celebrated it even once!" Sal says and leaves.
"Sorry." Savannah says.
"Remy is more important. He has leukemia again. Most likely." Melony says
"It was an anxiety attack. Not leukemia." Bill says.
"Well, let's go." Jason tells his siblings as they leave Sal.
"Yeah, we're gone." Alem tuber says as he, Alex, and Jack leave.
With Remy, he laid awake, guilty. Then he felt bad for Sal. He had ruined his birthday.
