The next day, the cosmic buddies were fighting Begmax and his goons when suddenly arrows hit the goons as Green Arrow smirked.

"Okay, seriously, stop it!" Emila says.

"The real heroes are there." Green Arrow says as the rest of the boys took Begmax down fast.

"Spotlight stealer." Alem tuber says.

Later, the cosmic buddies were fighting Anti-Hybrid, but Cool Josh stole the credit as they got annoyed. Then they fought Big Owl, but Green Arrow came in the middle of it and won. People cheered as he signed autographs.

"Skara should be in the show. Honestly." Savannah says.

"She and her idiot sister were trash compared to me. She'd be a lot better if she left her dumb family. All they ever will be are people who make things worse." Green Arrow says as Angry Luigi and Emma look down and leave. Green Arrow smiled; he was basically doing anything so he could not go home. But alas, he had to go home.

Once he came home, he tried sneaking in, but the lights turned on in the study. "Welcome home, son." Robert says.

"Hey, dad." Oliver Queen says, confused as his dad sounded calm.

"How was practice?" His dad asked.

"Good." Oliver Queen says.

"Now, how was the movie?" His dad asked as Oliver Queen gulped, realizing he was only being calm to lure him into a false sense of security. Moira was furious.

"Listen, I'm sorry." Oliver Queen says.

"You did this when Zee Zatara had her first play and you weren't in it because you had a bad case of the flu. This is the 6th time you've done this, Oliver Alexander." Moira says. "You stole Skara Gray's spotlight at her movie premiere last night. I think your fame has gone to your head and it's time to put a stop to it."

"After the show ends for the season, you're getting out of the spotlight for a long while." Robert says. "You're going to focus on preparing for college and training."

"As of right now, the only times you'll be leaving the house are for show rehearsals, family outings, church, college visiting, and training. Nothing else." Moira said sternly. "And you owe a lot of people one hell of a sincere apology."

"A lot? I thought it was just Skara." Oliver Queen says.

"I talked to Gemma about letting you and your team perform in our place." Alem tuber says as Skara was stunned.

"You're joking, right?" She asked. "I mean, why would you do that?"

"You've been in my shoes and trust me, I've been screwed over a lot. Take it or leave it." Alem tuber says.

"I say go for it. This is your time." Skylia says, trying to be supportive.

"All right." Skara says, going off to tell Boscha.

"Wooo! We're back on! Now, let's get your sister so the 3 of us can win and teach Oliver Queen a lesson." Boscha says.

"I don't know. Emma and I are not on the best terms at the moment." Skara says.

"Is it because of the video?" Boscha says and shows a video of Oliver Queen basically insulting Emma, even suggesting Skara leave her horrible loser family.

"No. She was being clingy as always, and I got mad." Skara says.

"Hey, I'll support you no matter what." Boscha says.

Meanwhile, Emma and Melody were playing together. Jason was trying to do chores.

"Hey, you two! Go do something useful." Jason says.

"Why don't you go kiss Luke? You love hanging out with him." Emma teased.

"We're friends, nothing more, nothing less." Jason says. The girls ran off as Emma saw the news.

"You should totally go for it." Melody says.

"No, Oliver Queen was right. I am a horrible sister." Emma sobbed. "I'm just a clingy brat."

"You can't be listening to that arrogant asshole." Melody says. "He was doing it to make himself feel like he's better than everyone else."

"Language!" Jason says.

"Ignoring you." Melody teased. "Anyway, you should try and fix things with Skara."

"No, she hates me." Emma sobbed.

"Put that aside and show Oliver Queen he can't push you or Skara around anymore. It's time that this arrogant airhead of an actor got what was coming to him." Melody says.

Later, they find Skara.

"Emma, look, Skara needs space." Eda says.

"Let them talk to her, love." Raine says.

"Well, all right. Hey, I should audition for Captain Hook." Eda says.

Emma walked to Skara as she was scared to approach her. But Skara looked down at her.

"Emma, what's wrong?" Skara asked. Emma sobbed, blubbering nonsense.

"Oliver Queen said all that?" Amity asked.

"You understood that?" Boscha asked.

"When you spend lots of time around little kids, you learn a few things." Amity says. "Oliver Queen broke Emma. He knew Skara was annoyed with Emma and just used that to his advantage."

"Wow." Gus says, shocked.

Skara hugged Emma, who sobbed like a baby. "Hey, don't cry. We're going to give that airhead a taste of his own medicine." She says.

"H-How? Most fans hate me. That's why we got eliminated." Emma sniffed.

"Look, it's okay. Trust your big sister. I have a plan." Skara says.

"What plan?" Boscha asked.

"Look, Randy literally gave up his spot for me, and I realized it was just the 3 of us. I was hoping Amity could join us." Skara says.

"Oh, I'm not good with music. Never got a chance to really enjoy it." Amity says.

"What about Raine?" Emma asked. "They were popular enough to be in a movie and they also lost their spotlight." Emma says.

"Oh, of course I'll join your group. Anything for Skara." Raine says with a smile. "It'll be fun, I'm certain."

"Sweet! Come on, Emma, we got to get you ready for the interview." Skara says.

Meanwhile, the boys were getting ready for their interview, but they also had photoshoots to attend. Oliver Queen's parents had to tag along with him.

Mona showed up to the site with Mugman on her shoulders. Cuphead was holding on to Mona's coat, holding it up so it wouldn't get too dirty. Art and Deco were on either side of her.

"How was the tour?" Mugman asked her.

"It was awesome! I'm sorry I went without telling you guys. Heck, I'm still injured." Mona says, holding her casted arm. "Ashley has leukemia and I had to do something."

Remy heard this and felt bad. He had been through that himself.

Luke arrived with the boys as the fans cheered.

"Musibros!" They cheered. They smiled, except Oliver Queen, who felt immense shame. Normally, he'd take in the fans' adoration, but he knew once the show was over for the season, he'd never get this chance again, not for a long while.

He now felt bad for all the times he stole spotlights from people.

People took pictures of the Musibros as Oliver Queen forced a smile. Later, they had their interview. Dave was conducting it.

"Hey, guys, nice to see you." Dave says.

"It's good to see you, too." Luke says.

Soon, Dave asked them friendly questions.

Meanwhile, Emma and Melody were playing patty-cake. "Hey, Melody, we gotta go." Jason says.

"Bye." Emma sadly waved.

"We have an interview to do, anyway." Skara says.

Angry Luigi was walking when he saw Jason looking pissed. "You pawner." Jason says.

Meanwhile, with the boys…

"So, Oliver Queen…" Dave starts.

"Y-Yes?" Oliver Queen asked shakily.

"Why did you say that about Skara?" Dave asked. "I'm not going to be mad at you. I just want answers."

"I just felt like I should have been in that movie." Oliver Queen says.

"You need to be happy for others. You can't be the star of every movie that comes out. Skara was really happy about being in that movie and you ruined it by being a spotlight swiper." Dave says. "You had plenty of opportunities. Give everyone else a chance to have their time and stop ruining it. I know you ruined her post-premiere interview by saying you would be in the next movie instead of her. That was very rude and uncalled for."

Oliver Queen bowed his head in shame, regretting even doing that.

Meanwhile, with the cups, they were having their interview with Braxton.

"So how do you feel?" Braxton asked.

"Amazing!" Cuphead says.

"The best I've been!" Mugman says.

"I'm injured, but I will do this because Ashley needs this." Mona says.

Ashley watched this as Red eats popcorn.

With Skara.

"So Skara, Boscha, how are you ladies doing?' Gemma asked.

"Great, hey Don't forget Emma" Skara says holding Emma.

"Look, I'm so sorry about what happened." Gemma says. "I know you girls did very well in the quarterfinals. And who is this lovely piece of work here?" She points to Raine.

"Raine Whispers, a pleasure to meet you, Miss Graham." Raine says with a smile.

"Pleasure's all mine." Gemma says. "So, what will you bring to this team in the semifinals?"

"They're my teacher." Skara says as Gemma smiles.

Meanwhile, the Louds watch this on tv

"Oh no, Luke may not win." Lucy says.

"How is that a bad thing?" Luna asked.

"He may not react well." Lucy says.

"He's grown up, he can take a loss." Lisa says "Besides, he has a low chance of winning."

"Don't say that. They're going to win." Lucy says.

"Raine has been doing magic long before Luke was born. Face it, Luke can't always win." Lisa says

"We'll still throw a party for him, right?" Leni asked.

"Sure, why not." Lisa says.

"Wait, Ashley's sick?" Kat and Ana asked.

"I forgot you live with us." Lola says.

"They're joking, right? There is no way Ashley could have gotten sick." Kat says.

"It's not a joke." Lisa says.

A few days later, the Louds were having some fun on the beach as Lynn and Lucy was participating in a beach volleyball tournament, Luna and Sam were having fun, and Lola was at the spa.

Luke and the guys were underwater with Garth at his family's castle, helping with preparations for the Atlantis Summer Ball. This was a big deal in Garth's kingdom. And if Lucy tried to interfere in these preparations, Garth was prepared.

"We should all consider becoming royalty." Barry says. "We could move here."

"You becoming king of Central City?" Hal asked him skeptically as he laughed.

"We could all be co-kings." Garth says.

"I'm not sure if that will work, son." Caspian says.

Meanwhile The cosmic buddies were fighting Mr. and Mrs. Clusterfield.

"Where is Jason?" Savannah asked.

"He said he wants nothing to do with us." Bill says as he dodges some lasers.

Emma jumped and spit acid at the villains. who dodged as Alem tuber punched Them.

"Hey, look, it's the loser buddies." Cool Josh says and froze the villains and walked off as people laughed at them.

Emma frowned, looking down and leaving. "Why do people hate us?" Emma asked.

"Because we're not friends with Luke." Emila says.

"Yep. Sadly, I think we're just hated for laughs." Delta says. Emma sniffed and ran away.

"Why do we always get attacked by villains? I didn't even get a birthday because we're always hunted or nearly getting killed" Emma sniffed.

"Don't make it about you." Emila says

"Yeah. Besides, the world revolves around Luke and his friends. Which is why I suggest going to a different universe where we actually matter." Bill says. Everyone looks at Bill.

"Nah, we'd probably get killed by evil robots." Savannah says.

The Louds got invited to the ball.

"Isn't that underwater?" Lola asked

"Yes. Yes, it is." Lisa says.

"Pass." Lucy says.

"I'd go." Lana says as the others looked unsure.

"Look, this may be one of the only chances aside from the show where we'll even see Luke, so we may as well make the most of it." Luna says.

"Fine." Lola grumbled and walked off.

On the day of the ball, the Atlantis castle was bustling with activity as last-minute preparations were being made.

The Queen parents were allowing Oliver Queen to go to this because he had behaved himself enough to earn this privilege.

"A day about us, again." Hal smirked.

"A day about all of Atlantis." Garth corrected him. "Our friends are coming to the ball because they want to support this kingdom and it's a celebration to give everybody a chance to shake those post-war blues away!"

"Until the next war." Atticus jokes as Garth runs off, pale-faced.

"Dude, not cool." Oliver Queen says

"Sorry, I have been through more battles than you've ever imagined." Atticus says.

"I can't take on Black Manta!" Garth sobbed. "I'm not going to fight crime! I'm done right now!"

"Garth, honey!" Aerwyna says. "Are you all right?"

"The war broke him. That's why we need to win the show. We can't lose." Hal says.

"They're coming to k-kill m-me…" Garth shook as Caspian took him up to his room.

"Dude, we can take him." Barry says.

"Son, it's going to be okay." Caspian tells Garth.

"Sip your soothing seaberry tea and breathe, okay, sweetheart?" Aerwyna says as Garth does so.

Meanwhile, the girls were on patrol.

"I hope that's the last of the wars." Jessica Cruz says as Diana wasn't sure.

"The last thing Garth needs right now is to deal with any more wars. Poor thing has PTSD." Karen says. "He was traumatized after seeing what he didn't think he would get to see during the kingdom war."

"Diana, are you okay?" Barbara asked.

"No, I wasn't strong enough." Diana says.

Meanwhile

"Garrett, I'm not going!" Melony says.

In the Atlantis castle….

"Their bodies were everywhere, it was horrible…" Garth sobbed as Caspian held him close.

"Oh, coral-cake, we know, we know, it's okay." Aerwyna says, stroking Garth's curls.

Flashback

Suddenly, some of Aqualad's men came as Joe Parker looked at them.

"Joe Parker is the best." he says and picked up a pipe and tossed it at one as it spilled blood.

("Bye Bye Bye" began playing)

A few more rushed for him, but Joe Parker leaped and grabbed 2 pipes and slammed it across their heads.

Some Black Lanterns shoot some black energy guns, but Joe Parker starts attacking them as he leaped and shot lightning, striking them down.

Joe Parker smirked and took out some pipes and was tossing them at the Black Lanterns and looked at the screen and danced.

A female one tried attacking Joe Parker, who zapped her as she screamed in pain.

Joe Parker landed as some of Jitro's men try to attack Joe Parker, who tossed pipes at them, killing them.

Flashback over

"That's messed up." Lola says. "We don't have to deal with the Black Lanterns again, right?"

"No." Atticus says, looking down.

Garth wailed as Aerwyna tried to keep him calm.

"I miss Carter." Hal sniffed. "It's my fault he died."

"No, it's mine. I wasn't there to stop it." Atticus says.

"Hey, cheer up." Shane says.

"SHUT UP, MUSIC BOY!" Garth shouts.

"Boys, why don't you go help the servants?" Aerwyna says. "Me and Caspian are going to try and calm Garth down."

"Okay, Mrs. Bernstein." Luke says as he and the other boys head off to help the castle servants.

Soon, the Louds were getting ready for the ball. Lucy winced. "I wanna stay. You guys go." Lucy says, stunning everyone, considering Lucy would do anything to see Luke.

"Lucy's sick." Lola says.

"No, I'm not." Lucy sniffed and shut her door. The truth was that she couldn't face Luke right now.

"Grandma…" Lucy sobbed.

"Ugh, she's still obsessed over Grandma Harriet. We've all moved on." Lola says.

"Right, Lucy had to fight Great Grandma Harriet." Lori says remembering the whole war. "Lucy probably needs time to herself."

With Oliver Queen, he was riddled with guilt. Lots of it. He thought about all the stuff he had done. And he wanted to fix all of it. But how could he do that?

"This ball will be perfect!" Luke says.

"Yeah, but the food is just kelp and stuff." Barry says.

"Don't be rude." Atticus says.

"Wait, does every kingdom have lots of balls?" Hal says.

"Can't say." Atticus says.

"Take me to Equestria after this." Barry says.

"If you guys just expect me to take you there for a party about you, no. Look, I had to fight my uncle Sombra that day." Atticus says, annoyed.

"So…about the party there…" Hal says.

"Listen, I'm not taking you there. You guys aren't ready to fight Sombra. Besides, you've got everything you need here. I get it, you love parties, but you can't just be going to other planets and leaving your loved ones. Garth needs you guys." Atticus says.

Garth stared down the stairs. "GO HELP THE DAMN SERVANTS!" he screamed.

"Rude." Hal says as Barry slapped him.

With the cosmic buddies…

"You think we should go?" Savannah says.

"No, we're danger prone. Besides, we can't breathe underwater, and second, the whole black market is after me!" Delta says. "And I hate water"

"Yeah, I had to kill Garth's dead family all over again. Not looking forward to seeing those graves again." Angry Luigi says.

"Besides, most of the heroes are part of Luke's friend group, so they're probably going to be partying, which means Earth is in our hands." Emila says.

"Not much of a difference. All the villains usually target us." Chrissy says.

Soon, everything was set up. Garth was chewing Hal out for being disrespectful.

"NO! YOU BRUSHED MY FEELINGS ASIDE LIKE THEY WERE NO BIG DEAL!" Garth shouted.

"Blame Angry Luigi for killing your family. It's not my fault!" Hal says.

"Cool it, you two, let's not fight." Atticus says.

"That's why they weren't invited to begin with!" Garth shouted. "AND STAY OUT OF THIS!"

Atticus sighed. "I'm going home." he says.

"Good. We don't need you right now." Oliver Queen says.

"GET OVER HERE SO I CAN TAKE YOU DOWN!" Garth screamed at Hal.

"Garth, sweetheart, no." Aerwyna says. "Don't hurt your friends."

Hal walked off to get himself ready for the ball in silence.

"This whole ball just became a disaster." Barry says, shaking his head in disbelief.

Soon, it was 5pm. The Foxes came first, dressed up very nicely.

"Hi." Luke says.

"Hello." The Foxes say.

"So, where is this ball we were invited to, exactly?" Stevie asked.

"Underwater." Luke says.

"Our magic gives us that ability. Come on." Griffin tells his siblings. They go underwater.

They soon arrive and look around.

"Amazing!" They say.

The Louds came as they looked around. It was an amazing sight.

Soon, the ball began. Lisa loved the food and Lana loved the ocean atmosphere.

There was a live band on stage as people danced to the music. Other people talked and laughed with one another.

Garth sat there, dressed in his best tuxedo as Karen came in. He didn't think she would show up, but she somehow did.

"Karen, hi…" Garth says, managing a small smile.

"Hi, Garth, how are you?" she says.

"I'm doing okay." he says, sighing.

Soon, everyone was having fun.

Meanwhile, the girls were fighting.

"Where's Zatanna?" Miss Martian asked as Harley was fighting a mutant pig in the background, unaware Zee was on a tour.

With the boys, all the people from the sea wanted the boys to sign autographs.

"Well, they have an entire kingdom voting for them. Randy wasted his time on me." Skara says and walks home.

The boys smiled being adored. Jason and Sal were there, wanting to just be happy for Luke. And there was a chance Sal had feelings for Luke.

Meanwhile, Emma and Melody were bouncing on the couch.

"Shouldn't you be practicing for the show?" Alem tuber asked.

"No." Emma says as they failed to notice Amity spying on them.

"Shouldn't we be training?" Bill asked.

"Nope." Alex says.

Meanwhile, the boys were fooling around with Lola and Lana as Barry raced around. Lola and Hal had a pillow fight. Lana was swimming with a shark.

"Lana's having the time of her life." Leni says.

"Look, can you teach me how to sing and perform?" Amity asked Emma.

Emma thinks. "You want to be on our team? Well, we only have 4, so yeah." Emma says.

Later, Emma spun and danced while singing as Amity took notes.

"Anything else?" Amity asked.

"Musical magic." Emma says.

"Oh right, I never took the class Raine had." Amity says.

"I'll teach you everything Skara taught me." Emma says. Edric and Emira spy on them.

"This will end badly. I mean, the girl is like, 6." Edric says.

"Wanna go tease them a bit?" Emira asked.

"Sure." Edric says.

Meanwhile, Lana was really having the most fun out of everyone. She swam with jellyfish, kissed a catfish, and even played with a swordfish. Lola saw this and ran to the bathroom, upset.

"Are we all just watching this?" Stevie asked.

"I must admit it is entertaining." Garth says.

"Garth, honey, it's time to do the speech you wrote." Aerwyna says. Garth nodded and headed up to the stage, speech in hand.

"Thank you all for coming to this ball. It means a lot. And very soon, I will be king when my parents pass on and me and my friends are going to be the winners of a certain show, and I will try to be a better hero to everyone." Garth says as people cheer.

Meanwhile, Angry Luigi ran as Alem tuber chased him as Emma looked annoyed.

"It's okay, I have annoying elder twins." Amity says and tries to use a guitar, but there was a glitter bomb in it.

"Skara's guitar!" Emma says and freaks out. "No, no, no, she's going to kill me!" Emma sobbed.

"Sounds like Jack's at it" Alem tuber says. Emma ran to her room and started packing, attempting to run away.

"Emma, wait. I assure you, it's not your fault" Amity says.

"Yeah, Jack did it." Alem tuber says.

"Anyway, we can practice without the guitar for now. so, now we need costumes. You got a spare one for me?" Amity asked. Emma opened the closet as they got glitter bombed.

"I'm dead…" Emma says.

"All we need is magic to fix it, right?" Amity asked.

"Well, nice funeral." Angry Luigi tells Emma and leaves with Alem tuber.

"Look, there's still time before the show. I can get some costumes ordered." Amity says and decides to read Emma a bedtime story as she tucked her in.

"Poor Emma" Amity says.

Meanwhile, they all had some seaweed cake. Hal vomited, but Lana loved it and she danced with Garth.

"That was AWESOME!" Lana says.

"Thank you, dear." Aerwyna says.

"Come on, Lana, let's go" Lola says, dragging Lana.

"Bye!" Lana says.

Meanwhile, Angry Luigi and Alem tuber notice Amity cuddling a shaking Emma, who was sobbing in her sleep. The twins leave.

"So who was behind it?" Angry Luigi asked Bill who used his scanner.

"Huh, it wasn't Jack." Bill says.

"Okay, who's on the death list? Mike and Josh?" Alem tuber asked.

"No death." Savannah says. "It was Edric and Emira."

Alem tuber was gone as there were some crashes as he soon came back. "I'm going to bed now." Alem tuber said and walked off.

Amity soon finds her siblings hurt. "What's wrong with you?!" Amity asked.

"Sorry, sis, we were just teasing." Emira says.

"Why can't you two just grow up?" Amity asked and stormed off. Later, Emila bandaged her boyfriend up as Edric smiled.

"You wanna do it?" Edric asked.

"I don't kn-" Emila stopped as she sensed Jerbo. She teleported behind Jerbo. "State your business."

"I love Edric." Jerbo says. "We even made out before he agreed to date you."

Edric gulped, not sure what to say about this.

"Edric, who do you love more?" Emila asked. "Me or Jerbo?"

"I can't decide." Edric sighed.

"You know we shouldn't be thinking about this now. We gotta do something before Amity hates us forever." Emira says.

Skara appeared. "You two have some nerve, touching my prized guitar! RAINE, MY LYRE, PLEASE!" She shouted.

"Now let's not get too violent." Raine says.

"Give me my damn lyre!" Skara says as Raine does so.

"Have mercy! I have a broken arm!" Emira says as Alem tuber did beat the crap out of them earlier.

"Touch my instruments again and the magic I unleash from this lyre will be powerful enough to knock you both into comas! Understand me?!" Skara hissed. They both nodded fearfully.

Skara soon arrived home. "Huh, why did they do that, anyway?" She was stunned, seeing Amity sleeping with Emma.

"Amity, what are you doing here?" Skara asked.

Amity shot awake. "Uh, um, well, I wanted to join your team, and Emma said yes, then she began to train me, but then things went south. Emma tried to run away."

"Why?" Skara asked.

"Because she thought you'd hate her since she gave me your guitar without your permission." Amity says.

"Your siblings screwed with my guitar. No one touches that but me." Skara says.

"Sorry, Skara. This wouldn't have happened if I didn't ask for your guitar. I understand if you don't want me on the team." Amity says.

"It's not your fault, Amity. But we should get you a guitar." Skara says.

"I should go." Amity says, looking tired.

"You can stay the night." Skara says. "I insist."

"Okay." Amity says.
