Tomorrow, the new name for ANH's rebrand would be announced.


Luke was out with Shane, coaching him while they're out jogging.

"Come on, Shane, Gil DeLily doesn't like slackers! Pick up those feet! Jog like you're dashing across that stage after they announce you as the winner!" Luke says to him. "Dash for that crown!"

Shane keeps running.

"That's the way!" Luke says.

After the 3-mile jog, Shane comes home with Luke, showers, and starts his post-jog yoga session with the Sheryl Stallings yoga course DVD's.

"How is his training going?" Lance asked Luke.

"Great!" Luke says. "He's really making progress."


Meanwhile, Lola was making Meli do the same thing at her house.

"I'm not like Shane…" Meli says. "Let alone Luke."

"Okay, what can you handle?" Lola asked.

Meli then tells her exactly what she can handle.

"Okay." Lola says.

Soon, Lola helps dress Meli.


At the manor…

"It's Friday, and Friday means school!" Charity tells the kids. "Come on now, time for school clothes and breakfast!"

"Mom, did you remember Shane is on the Atkins diet?" Luke says.

"Yes, honey. I had the chefs make his breakfast separate from everyone else's." Charity says.

Shane comes down, looking fit and happy.

"Look at you, son, you're glowing!" Lance says.

"You look amazing, baby." Sharon tells Shane.

Ana was eating her vegetarian sausage and eggs made with a plant-based egg substitute.


Soon, they head out for school. Shane and Luke ride to school with Ollie and June. Mostly so Luke won't be seen with the siblings he still has some issues with.

They soon arrive as Luke steps out and walks in with Ollie, June, and Shane.

"I'll walk June to her class, then meet you guys by the gym, all right?" Ollie tells Luke and Shane.

"Sounds good." Luke says.

"Okay." Shane says.

Ollie walks June to her class in the high school's SPED department, then meets back up with Luke and Shane.

"So, what's the plan for today?" Ollie asked them.

"Go to our 1st to 4th period classes, go to our 5th period class until lunch, go to lunch, then go to the gym and get things ready for the Oakley Academy Country Christmas dance that will be taking place tonight. We'll be out of our classes for the rest of the day just to get things together for that." Luke says.

"What about my talent practice?" Shane asked.

"We'll be here until 3:30, then we'll go home and let you do that. We'll get ready for the dance after that, which doesn't start until 6:45." Luke tells Shane.


At Melony's school, the kids were all wanting to hear her stories again.

"Okay, I'll tell you all about how we saved Remy by going on an adventure for a cure" Melony says.

They all cheered. Melony was really becoming a celebrity.

"Remy doesn't go to this school, does he?" One kid asked her.

Melony shook her head. "He goes to school in Michigan." She says, then tells the story.


Lunchtime at Oakley Academy, Luke spots a familiar blonde in the lunch line. His friends smirk, knowing exactly who it is.

"Ooooh, he's here…." Lonnie says.

"He sure is…" Stephen says.

"Oliver Fox saw him come in during 3rd period." Remy says.

"Oh, look, the common folks eat this slop…" Oliver Queen says, staring at the lasagna on his tray.

"Is there a problem with the food here, Oliver?" Luke asked him, holding a fork.

"Wait, is he a new student?" Lonnie asked.

"He's the newest winter transfer. And he's rooming with me at the manor. But little does he know, he'll be doing butler training…" Luke says.

"I hate lasagna…" Oliver Queen grimaced.

"Eat it all. Only then do you get to eat dessert." Luke says.

Oliver Queen sighed, having to do so. A silhouette spied on Oakley Academy.


After school, Lola took Meli to get ready. Meli looked nervous.

"You can do this." Lola says as Meli gulped.

Meli soon goes to the dressing room, shaking. She gets ready to go on.


With Oliver Queen, he dodged before flamefoot soldiers arrived as they tried shooting flames as Oliver dodged and shot arrows.

The flamefoot burnt them as two soldiers kicked him down as he groaned.

Suddenly, Lola arrived as The Queen Of Diamonds and used crystals, tearing through them. One by one, a few shot flames. Lola used her crystals as shields and leaped, shooting flames, causing a couple of explosions.

"Thank you, little one." he says.

"That's madame to you, butler." Lola says. She walked off.

"And what did I say about your archery powers, butler?" Luke says.

"What if I need them?! I'm supposed to be a hero! What if my friends need me?" Oliver Queen says.

"Fine. But you are not to use those arrows in the manor, understand?!" Luke says. "My mom has breakables that cost a fortune. And if they get broke because of you using those arrows in the house, you'll get yours!"

He nodded and gulped, knowing what was to come.


Soon, Meli took the stage as Lola smiled at her. Meli tripped on stage as Lola sighed. Kids laugh at Meli.

Meli ran offstage crying as Lola knew she wasn't ready.

"Hey, you did your best." Lola says.

"I don't think I'm ready for this stuff just yet, though." Meli says before she heads home.


Meanwhile, Melony finally came back home with a bunch of fan gifts.

"You're popular, I see!" Cedric says.

"Yeah, I am." Melony says.


Soon, Oliver Queen was being a butler.

"Guess what, butler boy? You're going to go to a dance tonight. You don't get to do butler stuff there. Consider this your first taste of Oakley Academy culture." Luke says. "I have an outfit for you to wear to it."

He looks on as Luke shows him the outfit. To his surprise, it wasn't a butler's outfit. Luke smiled at Oliver Queen.

"You're in for a surprise tonight." Luke says.

"Maybe he should stay for the rest of the year." Shane says.

"He already is." Luke says. "Student transfer program, remember?"

"Oh, that's right." Shane says.

"Who got exchanged for Oliver?" Lucy asked.

"Colleen." Luke says.

"Yeah, it turns out Oliver Queen has a rogue gallery, so we gotta be careful." Luna says.

"We can handle anything." Kat says.

"Right. Oliver, get yourself dressed. We have a dance to get to in an hour." Luke says.


Soon, they arrive. Luke handed off a few extra things to the dance committee, who nodded and took off to finish the prep work.

Oliver Queen had a bad feeling and was on his toes, keeping his gear on hand.

"To you, December 11th is quite the important day." Luke says to him, smirking.

Shane came, smiling as he placed a crown upon Oliver Queen's head.

"Huh?" He asked.

"You'll see why you're wearing that crown later." Luke smirked. "For now, enjoy yourself. It's a dance, so have fun."

He looks around as he sees the DJ playing country music and he dances a little.

Zee danced with Luke as he smiled.

"So, you got everything set for the you-know-what?" Zee whispered to Luke.

"You know it!" Luke says.


Later, Oliver Queen tries some fruit punch.

"This is all right." he says. "Not bad."

"Having fun?" Zee asked him.

"I guess." he says.

"So, would you like some Christmas cookies?" Remy asked him. "I baked them myself."

"Sure." he says and tries one. "Oh, that is good…"


With Melony, she was eating with Cedric and Kylie. Roland and Eduardo were out, doing some college work.

"I'm going to be on the news soon." Melony says.

"Everyone loves you!" Cedric says.

"We're really proud of you." Kylie says. "You've come a long way."

Melony couldn't help but smile as the news came on.


At the Oakley Academy Christmas dance, Oliver Queen was dancing with Lonnie and Remy.

Luke and Zee were in the cafeteria, admiring the cake that Luke and Luan had made.

"Do you want to write something on it?" Luke asked Zee.

Zee thinks for a minute or two before taking the icing tube from Luke as Luke watches her.

"What have you written there, love?" Luke asked, smiling.

It said Happy Birthday Oliver Queen in green icing against the snow-white frosting. Luke grinned.

"So…how old is he turning?" Luke asked.

"17." Zee says as Luke sticks 17 candles into the cake.

"Should we bring it out now?" Luke asked. "I think he deserves to know what's going on now, don't you think?"

Zee nods and goes off to set the mood.


Melony was listening to the news report about her and was smiling.

"They really must want me in the show." Melony says.

"Yeah, you're considered at Luke's level." Kylie says as Melony grinned.

"You're popular and good at all you do!" Cedric says.

Melony started considering whether she should be on the show or not.


Meanwhile, at Oakley Academy, Zee smiled and stood by the stage.

"Let's do this!" Zee says as she steps on stage, wand in hand.

Oliver Queen was confused as Zee began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Oakley Academy, today is a very special day, and why is it special?" Zee asked. "Because today is the birthday of someone in this gym, and he doesn't even know it…"

Luke enters the gym with the cake on a fancy cart. "So, without further ado, let's all wish Oliver Queen a very happy 17th birthday!" Luke says as he leads off the singing.

Oliver Queen gasped at the sight of the cake. He was surprised as he thought nobody knew about his birthday being today.

"Happy birthday, Oliver Queen!" Everyone in the gym says.

"Make a wish!" Luke and Zee say at the same time.

Oliver Queen was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"You can do it!" Zee says. "Wish for anything you want."

"You better blow out the candles before we end up having wax icing on that delicious-looking cake…" Remy says with a smile.

Oliver Queen wished he wouldn't be a butler for long and blew out his candles.

"Were you surprised?" Luke asked him.

"A bit. Unlike my friends, you guys remembered this day." Oliver Queen says, eating his cake.

It was true. His friends often forgot his birthday.

Zee wanted to prank him so hard. But the look on his face made her feel bad for her rival for once.

"Oliver…I had no idea." Zee says.

He sobbed. "They could have remembered somehow! But no!" Oliver cried, cutting himself another slice of cake. "What a travesty!"

"They were probably busy." Zee says.

"Made that excuse every year since we became a team!" Oliver Queen says. He then took out his arrows and let out the angriest scream he could.

Luke thinks of his day. But he soon watched Oliver Queen take aim at the pictures of his teammates as he stood in the middle of the high school's indoor archery field. He ranted as Luke began to watch him transform.

"Oh, boy…" Luke says. "He's pissed…"

"Years of excuses…they are a waste of space…friends? I've called them that for years and yet never bothered to remember one single birthday of mine…" Oliver Queen ranted, taking aim. Zee saw this happening.

"This won't end well…" she says.

Tears pricked Oliver Queen's peridot green eyes as he screamed. "I won't forgive any of you!" He screamed at the pictures and hit bullseyes on every target. "Your excuses are no longer excusable!"

"Since middle school…No wonder he's hurting that much…" Luke says.

"I guess we should help him capture Flash and the others." Shane says.


The next day, Luke sees Oliver Queen gearing up for the hunt.

"Not today." Luke says.

"The announcement isn't until tonight." Charity informs Luke.

"I need another day to plan and I'm also kinda busy training Shane." Luke says.

"Very well, we'll do the hunt tomorrow. And we will do it right." Oliver Queen says.


Melony arrived at school to a red carpet.

"Now this is what I call moving in style!" Melony says.


Meanwhile, Leni was making a new suit for Luke for his birthday. "Hi, Fiona, does this look good?" She asked.

"Looks great!" Fiona says.

"It's for his birthweek. I need to make 5 more and I made Lucy a Sweet 16 dress." Leni says.

"I thought Lucy hated her birthday…" Fiona said.

Leni frowned. "I should have known Lucy was giving her day to Luke." She says.


Shane looks at Luke. "We had training all day yesterday before the dance. I need a day off to recharge." He says.

Luke nods. He watched Oliver Queen stare at the phone in his hands.

"Hey. Do you want to talk about it?" Luke asked him. "Butler or not, I won't let you wallow in your own emotions."

He explained everything.

"They don't even value me! And I'm like a star on the team!" Oliver Queen cried. "They will get theirs…they all will!"

"I'm going to help you train." Luke says.

They began to train for the hunt.


That night, the entertainment news came on as everyone was sitting on the floor or the couch and eating cheese pizza that Garrett and Luan made.

"The name of the ANH rebrand is called the All-Star Talent Showcase." Dave announced.

"We see more than just singing in our contestants." Gemma says. "And now we want to see what they have in one huge show!"

"You heard it here first, folks!" Alexandria, the host of the entertainment news show says. "When can we expect to see an announcement about the start of this new show?"

Gemma thinks.

"Soon." She says. "After Luke and Shane's birthweeks."
