The next day, Lucy had a poetry convention. This was one thing Luke always had time for when it came to Lucy.
Lucy frowned; she didn't feel like going; she felt guilty for scaring Clover.
"We don't have to go to it if you don't want to, Luce. You can come and watch me rehearse instead." Luke says. "But only if you don't want to go to the poetry convention."
"I do like poetry. I just feel bad." Lucy says.
With Sam, she feeds Clover breakfast. Clover sniffed.
"Honey, Mommy has to perform tomorrow, so Grandma Amy will watch you." Sam says.
"Okay." Clover says.
In the manor, the kids were cleaning the house as Charity would be home tomorrow and the trip to Florida would start after lunch today.
Lucy heads out. She arrives and goes to get ready. Luke was smiling as he got ready to watch her.
Soon Lucy reads her poem as Haiku clapped.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi was dashing as some golden drones tried to attack him but he dodged them and leaped up taking out a golden flower, turning into Silver Angry Luigi. "Oh, how does that even make sense?" He says, shooting silver fire balls, causing shock waves as they were sent flying.
Angry Luigi arrived in Florida.
"Yep, the Musibros are in town!" Angry Luigi says.
Fans cheered. They cheered louder for Garth because of his upcoming birthday. Garth grinned and waved.
Later, Alem tuber arrived.
"Hello, Florida!" he says. People cheered.
At Disney World, Garth stepped in with the rest of the boys. Hal pinned a Disney World Happy Birthday! button with Garth's name on it to the front of his shirt.
"Whoa! Cool!" Garth says. "Do I get to keep this?!"
Hal nods as Garth squeals with excitement.
"Yep, I'm planning an ultra-amazing birthday in the one place Bowser can't get me. This month is Garth's month." Angry Luigi says.
Angry Luigi heads off, then thinks. "Did I forget something? I swear something important is in a few days. Is it a Luke event or what?"
He then remembers the play that will be in two days. The final rehearsal will be tomorrow, so they had to leave Florida immediately after the show ended tonight.
"You forgot your own birthday." Emma says.
"It was never important, anyway." Angry Luigi says. "I ain't worried about it."
Emma frowned as he was doing it again, forgetting about it. But he never looked forward to his birthday, anyway. He then took off. For once, he didn't want to celebrate it.
Soon, the others arrive as Luna goes to rehearse. Sam grinned and noticed Garth's button as the boys walked by.
"The show is centered around me!" he says.
"It's a Disney-themed show, birthday boy. And we're doing a song centered around you." Hal says with a smile. "We're rehearsing, then taking Garth around the parks before the show and we'll probably eat lunch in Downtown Disney, too."
"Sounds fun! Can we join you for lunch later?" Luna asked. He nods.
"Looking forward to it. And happy Disney World birthday, Garth!" Sam says.
"Wait, I'm celebrating my birthday here?" He asked.
"Today you are!" Hal says. "Is this where you want your birthday to be, though? After your coronation?"
"My birthday is on the 9th." Garth says.
"I'll take that as a yes." Hal says.
Garth just smiled. He was liking the idea of extra attention today and on his actual birthday.
"So, it's settled. We should all get birthday weeks and yours starts today." Barry says, pointing at Garth.
"Are you serious?!" Garth asked, running his hands through his black curls.
They nod. Garth's face breaks into a wide grin.
"The Magic Kingdom awaits after we rehearse! Let's go, gentlemen!" Garth says.
The group goes off to rehearse their routine.
With Clover, Amy was taking great care of her. So was Sutton. They were good caretakers to Clover and they were careful not to overwhelm her too much.
Clover sat on the couch, watching a movie while Amy made her some lunch. She had taken time off work so someone would be home with her whenSam or Sutton couldn't be.
Amy came in with a bowl of macaroni and cheese, smiling. "Would you like to eat now?" She asked Clover.
"Yes, please." she says. Amy set the bowl before her and let her eat at her own pace.
At Disney World, the cups and Mona arrived at the Grand Floridian to rehearse.
They began rehearsing as the boys had just finished. Garth and the boys listened to them for a bit.
Once they finished, Mona was the first to notice Garth as he smiled in front of his friends.
"Oh, great, her." Angry Luigi says, annoyed.
"Hi, Angry Luigi!" Mona says.
Angry Luigi walks off as Mona shrugs.
"It's my birthweek!" Garth says.
"Why can't we get birthweeks?" Cuphead asked.
"Because our summers get busy." Mugman says. "Kettle is taking us to the beach this summer, and we have 4 different vacations planned. He wants some time with us before we both go off to college in the fall."
"Well, you're just a big ray of sunshine today, aren't you?" Mona says to Garth with a smile.
"It's my birthday!" He says, his stone-blue eyes sparkling with joy.
"I know!" Mona says. "You're just the happiest ever! And I love it!" She hugs Garth and ruffles his curls a bit.
"So, how old are you gonna be?" Cuphead asked.
"17!" he says.
"Cool! You're gonna be the world's coolest 17-year old!" Mugman says. "And here you go, Garth. I think you'll get more enjoyment out of this than I will." He hands him a Flounder pin. "Happy birthday!"
"Awesome, thank you!" Garth says, pinning it to his shirt.
Luke sets up a party as he had to plan for tomorrow, and the 8th, 9th, and 10th.
"Need help?" Shane asked.
Luke nods. After a bit, they have everything finalized.
"Today is the Disney-themed party at Magic Kingdom, then tomorrow is the party at the aquarium he works at because he has a new show he's going to debut. On the 8th, he wants to go see Oliver Queen and Brandy perform in their play, so we're gonna have a party at Gus' Games & Grub afterwards. Then his coronation is on his actual birthday, and he wants to come back here for his coronation celebration and birthday party at Epcot. And on the 10th, we're doing a Pancakes & Pajamas birthday party, as per his request." Luke says.
"So fun! I'm excited!" Shane says.
Soon, the show was getting ready to begin.
Gemma, Braxton, and Dave walked onto the stage in the middle of the Magic Kingdom.
Fans cheered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome one and all to the happiest place on earth!" Gemma says.
"Tonight, it's Disney Night! Our top 36 teams are here to offer our audiences both here and those watching at home a magical experience! And tonight, 8 teams will be sent home, making a top 28 for our Country Night show in Conroe, Texas as part of the Montgomery County Fair's live music experience." Dave says.
"And remember, the Bejeweled Button will be in play for one lucky team tonight, saving them from elimination and guaranteeing their spot on the Country Night show." Braxton says.
"So, let's get this show started with the Moon Goats!" Gemma says.
They appear on stage, performing Surface Pressure from Encanto. The crowd liked what they were hearing.
Clover watched from Sam's house as Amy smiled.
"Do you like when they perform?" Amy asked her.
She nods and claps.
Soon, the Moon Goats finished as the crowd cheered for them. Luna and Sam smiled as they walked offstage.
Backstage, the cups and Mona got ready.
They soon came up as girls screamed for the cups. They smiled as they performed Steal The Show from Elemental.
Fans cheered as they were singing along with the show.
Garth was being fitted into a merman outfit backstage.
"Happy birthday!" Fans were chanting. Garth was grinning and finding it hard to keep still for Oliver Queen, who was trying to get him fitted into his outfit.
"Garth, hold still." Oliver Queen says, trying to finalize the costume fitting.
"Who's next?" Alem tuber asked as Emma checked the lineup.
"Beau and Tina." She says. "And you're after them."
Beau and Tina were soon on stage after the Hot Slice Experience, performing A Whole New World from Aladdin as fans cheered for them.
Cool Josh snickered, getting ready.
"Cool Josh, if I see your face on March 8th during the birthday celebration, you will suffer from a broken back." Alem tuber says.
"I'm so scared!" he mocked.
Savannah cheered for Tina as Atticus got ready.
"Good luck, Loser-lash!" Cool Josh teased the Waterlashes and went off as Alem tuber was fuming.
It was soon their turn to go on as Braxton introduced them. They began their performance of I Can't Wait To Be King from The Lion King as the crowd was cheering.
Garth was still a bit wiggly, so Hal had to make him be still.
They finally got him into the costume.
"Look at this handsome merman!" Hal says.
"He's so cute and charming!" Barry smiled.
"Awww! Thanks!" Garth says.
Emma was backstage, making gifts for both her brothers, even if the other showed no interest in celebrating.
Skara walked up. "Emma, we're on in two minutes!" She says.
Emma goes up to her and gets ready.
She soon went on with Skara and Boscha as they performed Let It Go. The crowd loved what they saw, especially Skara and Boscha's ice effects and Skara's ice castle illusion.
Emma took out an Ice Flower, becoming Ice Emma and making her own version of Olaf.
The crowd cheered once they finished. The three girls bowed and smiled.
Atticus was preparing himself backstage. Remy was smiling as he posed himself on his throne.
"Ready for this?" Stephen asked him. Remy nodded and smiled.
"All right, gentlemen, let's do this!" Atticus says.
Remy, Stephen, and Atticus soon began their Prince Ali performance, with Remy as the prince himself.
Angry Luigi watched while eating popcorn. He would perform next time.
Once they finished, Atticus walked into the spotlight and began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today just so happens to be a special occasion." he says as the crowd hangs on to his every word.
"Can we all wish Garth Bernstein a happy birthday?" Atticus asked.
Garth was blushing modestly backstage as the crowd was shouting Happy 17th Birthday! at him.
With Clover, she blushed, never receiving potty training. That just made Amy heartbroken. Clover's parents taught her nothing. Amy took it upon herself to start potty training Clover.
She took Clover to the bathroom.
"Sweetie, this is a toilet." Amy says as Clover crosses her legs.
"This is where you go when you really need to go." Amy explained. "Sam does it. Simon does it. And now you're going to learn how to use the toilet. Let's try it."
Clover slowly climbs on it and tries to go. Amy smiled.
"Good job, sweetie." Amy says. "All done?"
Clover nods as Amy shows her how to flush the toilet and wash her hands when she finishes using the bathroom.
With the boys, Garth was just beaming.
"I'm heading to see Peach." Angry Luigi says and heads off.
Cool Josh just finished his turn as Garrett gets ready.
"Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next is a team that is sure to steal the show!" Gemma starts.
The crowd looks on.
"Coming up, the super team of Kylie, Eduardo, Cedric, Melony, and Garrett!" Gemma says.
The crowd cheered as soon as they appeared. They then performed Can You Feel The Love Tonight from the live-action Lion King movie.
Garth shuts himself in his clamshell during the performance.
"Come out of there, Garth…" Barry says.
"What happened to your happy face?" Shane asked.
"Garrett stole my spotlight!" He sobbed.
"No, he didn't, Garth. I know he wouldn't do that." Hal says.
"It's your happy birthday week!" Barry says.
"It's not about me anymore!" He sobbed.
"Garrett didn't do anything to you…" Karen tries to reassure her boyfriend.
He sniffed, not coming out. "My week is over! I'm not performing!" He screamed.
"Garth, honey…" His mother says.
"Come out of your shell, son…" His father says. "It's all right."
He comes out, seeing his parents.
"There, there, sweetheart, it's all right now." His mother says.
"Son, don't be sad anymore…" his father says and rubs his back soothingly. "It's all right. You're all right."
"You prepared for this performance for weeks, my little coral-cake. You can't let your friends down." His mother says.
"Everyone back home is watching this and they all want to see their favorite star!" his father says. "And that's you!"
Garth sniffed and smiled a little.
"Let's get ready, shall we?" Hal says.
"Ladies and gentlemen, coming up are the stars of the show, the ones a lot of you came to see…" Gemma starts.
"Musibros! Musibros!" Fans chant.
"That's right! Put your hands together for the Musibros! And I hear that it's a special day for one member of the group!" Braxton says.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Garth, happy birthday to you!" The crowd sang and cheered as Garth's eyes sparkled with joy.
Girls screamed and swooned as they took the stage. They then began their Under The Sea performance, where Garth sang a few solo parts. He smiled as the fans loved him.
Karen cheered for him.
They soon finish as Gemma hits the button for them. The Musibros squealed with excitement and hugged each other.
After the show, Garth was changing out of his costume as Karen smiled at him.
"You did wonderful tonight." Karen says to him.
"Thank you, my love." Garth said as he blushed and smiled.
The others were setting up.
"We did awesome tonight!" Hal says.
"But I have to know, what's a county fair?" Barry asked.
"It's a fair that has exhibits, farm animals, an incubator where you can watch chicks hatch, agriculture-related stuff, and a rodeo. And there's also shops, rides, food stands, and midway games, much like a regular fair. And did I mention this fair gets to crown a new queen when we're there?" Hal says.
"No way!" Luke says.
"Shouldn't there be a fair king, too?!" Shane says.
"Probably." Hal says. "Wouldn't be a county fair without it."
Soon, they prepare Garth's grand entrance. It was going to be an undersea-themed entrance, just how Garth liked it.
Oliver Queen smiled as he was the one who would be introducing him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time that I introduce to you all, a guy who's all about the ocean and a guy who always brings a smile to our faces, the birthday boy, Garth Bernstein!" Oliver Queen says.
Garth comes out on an ocean-themed float, waving and smiling.
The party began with rides in the Magic Kingdom. Garth grinned and ran around, excited, looking for his first ride.
He chose a water ride, his favorite. He laughed as he rode it with Karen.
Clover yawned, tired, as Amy carried her up to bed.
Meanwhile, Alem tuber was rushing around as he got his brother a gift.
"I might as well have my own week." he smirked, not knowing most everyone would be attending a different week of events entirely.
Meanwhile, Savannah and Emma were planning to get the twins to love each other again. But the two of them also knew that if they were growing apart and preferring their own things, it was best to let them be their own people. Siblings didn't have to always love each other.
"This has to work." Savannah says
"If not?" Emma asked
"They'll kill each other." Savannah says. "Maybe they could love each other and still have their own things."
"That seems fair." Emma says.
Meanwhile
"Then we do what we do best. Prove we're better." Alem tuber says
Cool Josh overhears this and snickered, planning to embarrass the twins.
"When do we do this?" Wildy asked.
"March 8th." Cool Josh says, looking at the birthday bash plans and smirking.
Karen got Garth a new game. Garth gasped.
"Minecraft!" He says. "I've always wanted to play this! Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Karen says and kisses him.
Garth saw the gift from Hal and grinned. "A bike! How many speeds does it have?" Garth says.
"It's a 12-speed!" Hal says.
"Awesome!" Garth says.
"Time for my present!" Barry says, presenting it to Garth.
"Fudge! 10 different kinds!" Garth says. "I love fudge! Thanks, Barry!"
"Of course!" Barry says.
"My gift is for your show tomorrow." Oliver Queen says. Garth opens it and smiles at the Bikini Bottom-inspired costume that Oliver Queen designed for him.
"Oh, my gosh! I love this! It's stunning!" Garth says. "And it has my name on the cape in ocean blue sequins! How cool!"
"I'm glad you love it!" Oliver Queen says.
After gifts, everyone explored the game booths, marveling at the prizes.
Garth wandered over to a booth that had aquarium-based prizes. He smiled and played the game, winning 10 prizes in a row.
"You're so good at this game!" Karen says to Garth.
"I try my best." he says, smiling. "You give it a try!"
Karen smiled and did so, winning the game twice.
"Not bad!" Garth says as Hal and the others watch from a distance.
Cool Josh was still reading over the plans for the birthday bash.
"So, at what point in the birthday bash would be the time to strike Alem tuber?" Mike asked.
"During the final battle round." Cool Josh says.
"He's gonna get what's coming to him. You two should fight, man-to-man." Mike says. "One vs. one."
Cool Josh thinks about this, then he smirks. "I like it." He says. He then goes off to train, not scared of Alem tuber's threats.
Everyone at Garth's party was soon eating dinner at a quick-service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom and talking.
"So, Oliver, are you ready for your play on the 8th? I'm really looking forward to seeing you perform in it!" Garth says as he eats his chicken tenders and fries.
"It will be the best play ever." He says. "You even get a front row seat to see it all!"
"Thanks! I love front row seats!" Garth says. "I also like plays!"
Later, Lana and Lola were eating and having fun.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know who I am, Cool Josh and on March 8th, get ready for the biggest event of the year."
He took out a belt. "Skylia, your son's blood is going to be on this belt and your tears will be on this belt when I whoop your son's ass like the **** he is and I'm not holding back!" Cool Josh says as the video ends.
Alem tuber was watching this.
"So? I can beat him." Alem tuber says as Alex and Jack were watching.
There were posters everywhere.
"Huh? you're trending." Jack says.
"Okay, after my charity event, I'll kick his butt." Alem tuber says.
With Garth, Karen feeds him.
"Holy cow!" Barry came over, holding a poster. "Check this out, guys!"
"What is it?" Hal asked.
"What is…Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Atticus says, annoyed.
Garth glanced over at this and stood up.
"Alem tuber vs cool Josh?" Atticus asked.
Garth pulled out a bottle of water and began to heat it up, starting to tear up. "Steam bath time… He hissed under his breath. "Time to scald…"
"Hey, look, don't cry…" Karen says.
"He's not going to go evil, right?" Kara joked before he started flooding the whole city with hot steaming water.
Angry Luigi was coming back and saw this and blocked as he began drowning.
People were screaming as Cool Josh used his ice, freezing the water to protect people.
People cheered as he skates on the water before doing a moonwalk as Garth had a dark color scheme and a red ring.
"Why does everyone just so happen to have anger issues? Is Karen going rogue?" Kara coughed before flying out and becoming Super Girl.
"Enough!" he screamed as Disney World was getting destroyed.
Atticus climbed on a building.
"If I can't have a birthday, no one else will!" Garth screamed.
Melony was drowning.
"Help! I can't swim!" Melony screamed as she went underneath the water. The heat was burning some people.
Alem tuber leaped and kicked Garth in the face.
"Baka!" He says as Savannah jumped in the water to save Angry Luigi, Melony, and others.
"All this for your birthday? Man, and I thought I had issues." Alem tuber says as Garth increased the water level as Florida was being flooded. Ice wasn't going to work at this point.
Karen coughed. Super Girl tries using her ice breath, but it does nothing.
"Okay, what now?" She asked.
"Simple, we gotta take him down." Alex says, leaping in and kicking Garth, sending him into the water as Alem tuber flew, grabbing Alex.
Garth rose up out of the water as what people are calling Reverse Aqualad. He had the same powers and all, but the colors were reversed on the costume and he gave off a midnight blue aura.
"Oh, my God!" Hal says.
"Soon, you will all be scalded!" Reverse Aqualad says.
Atticus goes up to him, but he blasts Atticus, hurting him.
"Is he?" Angry Luigi asked.
"Well, your hero just died." Alem tuber says as Atticus was actually hurt. He wasn't dead, but he was hurt. Badly.
"Any last words before I call out the sharks?!" Reverse Aqualad screamed.
"Do something before I get more angry!" Queen of Diamonds says.
"Bruty, let's pound!" Angry Luigi says, gritting his teeth as Bruty was released.
"Ha, time to fight!" Bruty says as he flies to Reverse Aqualad and punches him and starts hitting him with a flurry of punches.
Reverse Aqualad laughs.
"Bruty will win!" Bruty says, shooting power fists.
"Oh, no! We gotta do something before Belos takes control!" Savannah says
"Damn it, looks like I have to kill that brat!" Alem tuber says.
"Which one?" Savannah asked.
"Water boy." Alem tuber says.
Bruty slammed Reverse Aqualad into the water and flew in and punched him before sharks started biting him. Bruty kills the sharks.
Reverse Aqualad was slowly running out of steam. Bruty rushed and kicked him as there was lots of damaged stuff.
"Come on! Done already? Bruty hasn't had his fix!" Bruty says.
Flash was trying to swim as Shelby was struggling.
Lucy glared, deciding to end this, but Luke grabbed her.
"Only I can use a sleeping spell." She says.
"If you use mind control or death, Mom will have your hide." Luke says.
"Sigh." she says as a shark eats them both. Luke bursts out as an octopus grabs Luna, dragging her.
Savannah and Emma decided to get the ring off him and end this. They used their powers, getting it off as the water was finally going down.
Angry Luigi was falling as Skylia caught him.
Atticus looked hurt, which was a rare scene and the party Luke spent hours on was ruined. Garth reverted back to normal and ran off, sobbing as he was realizing what he had done.
"I'm a monster…" he sobbed. "A monster!"
"Bro?" Alem tuber asked as Angry Luigi was hurt. Emma teared up.
Flash was hurt, Karen was hurt, and even Shane was injured.
Luna checks on her siblings.
"How did this start?" She asked.
"Don't blame us. We were chilling when we saw the poster." Alex says.
Garth had left Florida and decided to leave everyone behind. He had hurt everyone he loved. He ruined his own birthday party. And he wouldn't blame his teammates if they didn't want him anymore.
He walked into the ocean and down to a coral cave, sitting inside it and crying.
