The next day at 3:00 a.m., Lucy woke up and left the house, not wanting anyone to remember her.

At 6 a.m., Shelby gets ready. Charity was preparing Shane's birthday breakfast.

Shane woke up at 6:30 and stepped into his closet. Today was Fancy vs. Casual day at school, so he had a decision to make on what to wear to school. Would he wear a tuxedo? Or his pajamas?

"What to wear…" Shane says to himself. He takes the tux Leni made for him and puts it on.

He then sits in front of his light-up mirror and combs his curls, then puts on his music note cufflinks and soon goes down to make himself a breakfast parfait at 7:15.

"Good morning, Shane. Happy birthday, sweetheart." Charity smiled at him. "You look wonderful today."

"Thanks, Aunt Charity." Shane says, eating his parfait.

"Boys and girls! Let's get moving! Your buses are coming at 8:00 on the dot! Breakfast! Let's go!" Charity was soon shouting up the stairs.

Soon, everyone was eating their breakfast parfaits. Hal, Luke, and Barry were in tuxedos as well. Garth and Carter were in their pajamas.

Oliver Queen was in a set of pajamas with the Oakley Academy Golden Knights logo silk-screened on the top and pants. He even gelled his hair to look like he had just woken up. Shane was in awe of this.

At 8:00, everyone got on their buses. Shane sat in a seat by himself on the Oakley Academy bus as he stared out the window.

With Lucy, she was already at school. She was planning to skip school, no longer feeling motivation. She went to the graveyard to be alone.

At Oakley Academy, Shane entered school with the rest of the boys, a smile plastered on his face.

Girls screamed seeing them. They were adoring the boys in their tuxes and pajamas. A few girls were loving Oliver Queen's pajamas and wanting to know where he got them. He said that he made the pajamas himself.

With Luan, she was in her college class, thinking about Benny. She would totally take him to bed after Shane's movie party. Or if they could, maybe during the movie. She knew Luke and Shane were both in that movie and wanted to see their scenes.

Charity was at Lance and Sharon's gym, ready to talk to them. She saw what transpired last night. And she hated it.

"You need to stop playing favorites. I understand that Shelby and Shiloh are still young and desire attention. But your oldest son is suffering because you're putting Shelby and Shiloh's needs over his. What I saw last night was a sign that you two don't care about Shane at all. You chose Shelby's winter play over Shane's birthday celebration. He won't be around much longer since he's getting ready to go off to college in the fall. You need to think about making time for Shane. Because if you don't, he'll suffer from a lot more than just a case of favorite sibling syndrome." Charity says. "Because once he's off to college, you won't be seeing him except for holidays and Spring Break. And that's if he decides he wants to come home for the holidays or Spring Break."

They look down, ashamed.

Lincoln was waiting for his university application.

"Am I seeing things or is Lucy smoking?" Clyde asked as Lincoln looked out and saw nothing.

Shane calls Luna, telling him he was worried.

"It's okay, Shane, we'll deal with Lucy and Barry." Luna says, wanting the best for them, but knew Shane came first.

At lunch, Kat and Ana head out to patrol.

"Ana, guess what? We're going on a ninja mission today." Kat says.

"Really?" Ana asked.

"Yeah!" Kat says as they race.

Lincoln sighed, remembering his lost birthdays due to favorite sibling syndrome. His birthdays were similar to Shane's.

After school, Kat and Ana arrive in Diamond City.

"Epic mission begin!" Kat says as she and Ana leap around.

They see some skeleton ninjas

"Ahhhh!" Ana says.

Kat leaped in slashing some and smirked. Ana tossed ninja stars.

Some Dry Goombas walk by as the twins kick them.

They arrive at Warioware to see some toys of them.

"Eeee!" The twins say.

Meanwhile, Luna took Shane out to go sledding.

After that, Atticus called the boys, saying that the 7 of them were being called to do a hero interview and photoshoot.

They did that, then got to sign autographs.

Meanwhile, Emma was planning Skylia's birthday for the 21st.

Chalice sighed, watching Mugman with Mona. She felt washed up. Her birthday was also on the 21st.

They didn't realize that the 21st was on Friday, and Shane's final party was also that day.

The Louds had finished their homework as most had forgotten about Lucy.

Atticus and Luke worked fast decorating and high fived. Luke had to get ready as it was also a premiere party. It was sort of a celebration for both Luke and Shane.

Emma realized this and frowned. She should have known this would happen this year. She sadly began canceling her mother's plans to keep Skylia alive. But Skara took the plans from Emma and looked over them.

"Hmmm…we can celebrate next weekend." Skara says. "We don't have to cancel anything."

Emma sighed "It's still not the same without him." She goes to sob and mourn in her room. She hasn't eaten much.

"You kids don't have to celebrate my birthday." Skylia says. "Just having you kids around is enough for me."

Alem tuber was listening in and he just nodded, not thinking too much about it.

Everyone was soon getting ready for the premiere. Shane stared at his reflection, darkly whispering to himself.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked.

"Honey, you need to be patient with him, okay?" Charity tells him. "Be gentle. He's been through a lot more than we thought."

Luke nodded as Shane spoke.

"I…I hate them! I hate them!" Shane sobbed.

"Who?" Luke says.

"YOU KNOW WHO!" Shane screamed.

Luke pitied him and glared at his siblings. Shane then left the house as the siblings look down.

Shane went to the camp, where he saw a group of kids peer pressuring Lucy. He transformed into Music Crusher and flew into the camp, using a musical shockwave and scaring the group off.

Lucy dropped the bag of drugs, looking ashamed and a bit surprised that Shane even transformed when he didn't really need powers.

She ran away into the woods, upset. Shane flew off, thinking he did something wrong.

"Shane!" Atticus says standing with Luke and Barry.

"I screwed up, didn't I?" Shane sniffed.

"What are you talking about?" Luke asked

"I transformed and attacked some kids…" Shane sniffed

"That's not a bad thing." Luke says, then sees the drugs as the screen shifts to show Delta.

"Kids, don't do drugs" Delta says.

They soon get ready for their movie premiere. They walked on the red carpet as their siblings cheered.

Some girls fainted. The boys got their photos taken as they smiled.

Meanwhile, Kat and Ana finished their mission and collapsed as two Toads brought them to the castle. Peach looked over them. "They're sick. I need to get a cure." Peach says.

Peach began to leave the castle.

With Shane, he was watching the movie with Luke and frowned. His cousins were probably focusing on his siblings like everyone else did.

Lana was chewing loudly.

Remy sat with Haiku as Haiku was wondering where Lucy had been.

After the movie, Luke's friends were patting him on the back. Shane tears up and runs out of the theater.

Leni ran after him. "Shane, what's wrong?" Leni asked.

"They were way too focused on them!" Shane sobs.

Leni holds him. Shane sobbed harder.

Charity sighed as the whole town had been talking about how that family was one of the most toxic families. Lance and Sharon came.

"Shane, honey, we have a surprise for you…don't cry, starshine…" Sharon says.

Shane looks to see his very own music set.

"Is…is this for me?" Shane sniffed.

"Yes." Lance says. "Son, we are so sorry. Why didn't you tell us how you were feeling?"

"This week was important to me!" Shane cried. "You knew this! Yet you chose my younger siblings over me!"

Everyone was recording this.

"Thank you for the instruments. Really. I…I…" Shane stood there, clenching his fists.

Shane's guests watched the interaction.

"Yep, the Musibros are really broken. Well, except me." Atticus thought.

Hal sighed. "At least we have Atticus, the only one who can say that everything will be okay." He sniffed as the Musibros were a mess. This would only be temporary. They couldn't stay like this.

"Boys, Gemma will be disappointed if you break up before Friday's show." Charity says.

"Who said they'd break up?" Atticus asked.

"Come on, Shane! Party time!" Leni says.

Soon, Shane stormed to his party in the theater lounge minutes later.

"Are you okay?" Luan asked

"We're really sorry, Shane." Lance says.

"This fight is going to ruin this whole week for sure. At this point, we might as well give him the rest of the month." Lisa thought.

Diana holds Shane as Barry sobs. All this reminded him of his dead parents. Barbara held Barry.

"Do you even feel comfortable celebrating? We don't have to if you need space." Leni says to Shane.

Shane thinks, then nods. "You guys went to all this trouble. So let's go through with the party." Shane says. He then turns to his parents, who felt horrible.

"If I see a glimmer of favoritism during this party, I'm going to flip out!" Shane screamed.

Soon, Shane dances with Diana. He says nothing else to his parents at this point.

After that, it was karaoke time. Shane had to smile at this. He began to sing All Or Nothing by O-Town. Everyone loved him and his singing.

Diana went next and sang Glowing Moon by Yolanda Artemisia, which was a song from the Wars Of The Space Knights movie. She smiled at Shane the whole time she was singing and Shane was smiling back at her.

Luke smiled and sang 7 Years by Lukas Graham as he went after Diana. Everyone liked the way he sang this.

Oliver Queen took the stage and sang I Did Something Bad by Taylor Swift. And he was putting Taylor Swift to shame the way he sang it.

Hal gave it a shot next. He sang Beverly Hills by Weezer as practically everyone was singing along, even Shane.

"Who wants to go next?" Shane asked.

Meanwhile, Lucy was alone. She knew Shane would tell on her.

"Mom will kill me…" Lucy sobbed. She snuck home to pack her things. But Charity already knew and wasn't mad at Lucy. Not in the slightest. Charity had gone through similar phases when she was Lucy's age, and knew she was hurting.

And Shane didn't tell her. Charity knew something was up. She had come home to see this.

"Lucy, honey, trust me, I know what you're going through and what you're dealing with. I dealt with similar stuff at your age and I know what it's like. Sometimes my family hardly knew I was around. But I didn't skip school because of it. I would skip my after-school clubs to hang out with the bad crowd and I would do the things you're doing now. But I almost died from a drug overdose. And nothing was more scary than me almost dying." Charity says. "Sweetheart, you scared us. Do you know that?"

Lucy tearfully nodded.

"Honey, we know you're around. But seeing you go and resort to drugs and all that isn't how you get us to notice you. Using your words and talking about it is how you do it." Charity says. "We know how much you're struggling. But you can't just go and do these things to yourself."

Lucy hugs Charity tightly as she cries.

Charity soon brought Lucy to the party as Barry was singing Don't Stop Me Now by Queen.

"Everyone, I wanna apologize." Lucy sniffed. "From now on, I'll use my words when I'm feeling unnoticed."

Everyone forgave her as Barry looked at her.

"Now can I finish my song?" Barry asked. Lucy nods as Barry keeps singing.

Meanwhile, Mario noticed Peach was going out and decided to follow her as they teamed up to get a 1-Up Mushroom to cure the twins.

Mario leaped around, hitting blocks, only getting coins.

Peach sighed as Kat and Ana were red and hot, running fevers.

Shane was watching Garth sing All Star by Smash Mouth, his favorite song. Shane smiled at this before getting a burger and some fries to eat. He honestly wondered if his parents even tried to care about him.

Eventually, Peach and Mario found a 1-Up Mushroom. They see the twins sneezing as they give them a few bites of the Mushroom.

"How do you feel, girls?" Peach asked.

"Amazing!" they say as Mario heads out.

The twins bounce on the bed. They then scream and run out.

They enter a Warp Pipe, rushing as they arrive at the party.

Lola and Lana were talking.

Shane walked out.

"Shane?" Diana asked.

"Are they doing it again?! The answer is a possible yes!" Shane screamed.

The twins hear this and leave, knowing they ruined it. But they had nothing to do with it.

"And this week is ruined. Time to cancel my plans for next week." Lisa thought.

Charity holds Shane. "All right. Enough is enough. The next person to show any form of favoritism is out on their keisters! Am I clear?!" She shouted.

Everyone nodded.

Shane sniffed and went to the theater gift shop. He sobbed as everyone in the shop looked at him.

His siblings knew this favoritism stuff needed to stop or Shane was going to suffer worse. And he would end up hating them and their parents more. His family entered the shop.

They bought him something he really liked from the shop as he soon smiled.

Meanwhile, Melony walked to Savannah's house and smelled cupcakes. She put her stick away.

"Hi, Melony!" Savannah says.

"Making dessert for the birthday king?" Melony asked.

"How did you guess?" Savannah asked.

"I guess well." Melony says.

Meanwhile, there was a promotional video full of Shane's best movie scenes. Shane then smiled. He couldn't believe they were promoting stuff from his movies.

"Way to go, big brother!" Shelby says as Shane smiled a bit.

After that, it was time for the boys to do their preview for Friday's show, so they went off to get changed.

They soon took the stage, dressed in the space knight costumes Oliver Queen designed for them. They then started their Wars Of The Space Knights medley which consisted of the opening song for the newest season, Maria, and the closing credits song Radiance.

Oliver Queen and Shane did the vocals for both songs as the boys did some combat moves with space-age sword props and slow gymnastics moves, keeping in time with the tempo of both songs.

Everyone cheered once they finished. Shane smiled at his family as they cheered the loudest.

A little bit later, Savannah came with the desserts as the guys were posing for pictures in their space knight costumes. She then takes notice of their costumes.

"So cool…" She says.

Soon, Shane broke his piñata open, sending candy and party favors everywhere as he grins widely.

After that, Shane was sipping a Coke and looking around at the party going on before him. It was actually becoming better and better. Maybe the week may actually get better by the end of it all.

Savannah smiled at the cake she and her siblings baked. It was going to make Shane very happy.

Soon, Shane stood before the cake with a smile adorning his face. The cake was a purple velvet cake that looked like a theater marquee with the words Shane Loud: The Man, The Star, The Absolute Legend! We Wish Him A Happy 18th Birthday! in bold black icing. 18 glittery gold candles were placed around the perimeter of the cake to make it look like Shane's name was in lights.

"I love it! Oh, my gosh, I love it!" Shane says, taking a picture of the cake.

As Diana stood next to him, he was smiling a lot as the candles were soon lit by Savannah and the room filled with a joyous and very harmonious rendition of Happy Birthday To You.

Shane took this moment in for a few moments before closing his eyes and thinking of a wish. Everyone smiled and watched Shane.

He wished that everyone would stop playing favorites and blew the candles out amid the cheers from his friends and family.

Later, Lucy came home and flushed the drugs and cigarettes down the toilet. She was done depending on that stuff to solve her problems.

Shane laid in bed, thinking of how the rest of his week would go. He smiled as he fell fast asleep.
