Lucy groaned as it was the 14th.

Luan was making Luke's birthday breakfast. Luke was still sleeping, still feeling mentally and physically exhausted from the night before.

Lucy felt bad for Luke as she saw him sleep.

Zee woke up and frowned as she had quit her team. She couldn't take Dinah anymore and the stress really got to her. She missed her mom and her dad was trying to help her adjust to life in Royal Woods.

Oliver and Dinah woke up next to each other.

"I have to go, love. I promise I'll call you every day. Or I'll try to if I don't get too busy this week in particular. Then I won't be seeing you until mid-February." Oliver Queen says. "I promise that I'll send you pictures and everything, then when I get back, we'll go to dinner and I'll tell you all about it."

Dinah smiled and kissed Oliver Queen. "I love you, Ollie. Be safe, okay?" She says.

"I will. I miss you already." Oliver Queen says as he leaves. "I'll call you when I get there."

Luke soon woke up, his head in a fog. He groaned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, then walked to the bathroom and attempted to shower and brush his teeth. He soon came downstairs, grateful it wasn't a school day and that it was Sunday.

"Happy birthday, Luke!" Everyone says.

"We're not going out for breakfast before church?" Luke asked.

"We are." Lucy says, dressed for church.

"And why is Luke the only one in his church clothes? Why aren't the rest of you dressed?" Charity asked.

Everyone goes to get dressed.

"I'm out of here, what's the point of this stupid homelander? Stupid heroes, stupid friendship, stupid everything!" Angry Luigi says as he snaps after seeing his hero lose.

"He's lost it." Emma says.

"Well, can you blame him? That was his hero and the only thing keeping him from suicide. Now he doesn't have a purpose." Alem tuber says.

With Luke, he was heading out to IHOP with his family. The plan was to get breakfast before Sunday School at church.

The family was seated at a special table as Luke was beaming.

Luke was given birthday pancakes as the entire restaurant sang Happy Birthday to him. Luke was smiling.

He then ate the pancakes and smiled for a few pictures.

At church, the family went to their Sunday School classes, then they went to the main service to enjoy the worship team perform Days Of Elijah and Go Tell It On The Mountain. Luke and Shane were performing with them.

Oliver Queen, Zee, and Giovanni slipped in as the boys started singing with the worship team.

"Nice of you to join us." Charity says with a smile.

Zee smiled as she watched Luke. She knew this was the place she needed to be in. A small smile appeared on her dad's face.

Oliver Queen had never seen a church before, let alone been inside one. He loved the atmosphere and the fact that the youth band had an opening for a new lead guitarist. He was excited to tell Dinah about that later.

Diana had come to watch Shane sing. Shane waved at her before going back to performing.

Soon, church was over as Zee glared at Diana.

"I'm not going back. So, what, are you staying?" Zee asked Diana.

"For Shane, yes." Diana says.

Oliver Queen had called Dinah to tell her about his first church experience.

"Ollie, that's amazing!" Dinah says over the phone. "Are you gonna try out?"

"For sure!" he says.

"So how does it feel to finally be free of being heroes in Metropolis?" Zee asked as Diana wasn't sure. But deep down, things were going south in Metropolis and Diana had failed at protecting the town she once loved. She was now here for Shane.

"I feel horrible. I let my team down, Barbara is missing and Super Girl is going to get killed. I am no leader." Diana says.

"So you screwed up, big deal. You can do better by being there for Shane." Zee says.

"You're right. I won't screw that up." Diana says.

"You can be a hero in this city with me." Shane says. Diana bowed and smiled at Shane.

"It'll be my honor." She says. "I'll make you and all of Royal Woods proud."

Lucy sets up, annoyed with Leni.

"She gave you a nice dress. You should be grateful." Luan says.

Lucy tore it up.

"Honey, you told me that you didn't care if Leni gave you gifts. Luke doesn't mind. You know this." Charity told her as she fixed the dress with her magic.

"Are you sure Luke won't mind me getting a gift today?" Lucy asked.

"Getting Leni to make you that dress was his idea." Charity says.

Lucy looks down and sees Leni sobbing.

"Luke helped her pick out all the things you would like in a dress." Charity says. "It was his idea and it was from him and Leni as a surprise for your Sweet 16, even though he knew you weren't celebrating it."

Lucy felt bad as Leni left, looking down.

Luke was hanging out with Zee, Shane, and Diana at Mary Scooper's.

Luke thinks about his day. He hopes it will be amazing. He then saw a waitress carry out a Bears On The Moon sundae and set it before him.

Luke smiled at this as he began to eat.

Lucy goes to Leni, who is sad.

"I'm sorry, Leni. I do like my gift." Lucy says. "Please forgive me…"

Leni hugged her.

"Just no party." Lucy says as Leni froze, but soon nodded and understood.

Luke goes to the mall.

"Anything you want?" Zee asked.

"Honestly, I don't exactly know what I want…" Luke says.

Zee respects this as she sees the look on Luke's face. Luke walked out of the mall.

Later, Lucy sighed, worrying about being forced to have a party.

"Sigh." Lucy sighed.

Later, Shane took him to the snow park with Luna to have fun with him. Luke sat in the snow, hissing as he made snowballs. He threw some at Shane.

Luke then gets up and sees a birthday snow cone some of the staff made for him. He gasped.

"Blow out the candle, Luke! It's your day!" Luna says, trying to get him to smile. "Don't forget to make a wish!"

Luke wished his day would just be a good one and blew out the candle before eating the snow cone.

After the snow park, he came home and sat in his room.

Lucy came

"Before your birthday party, do you wanna go skating?" Lucy asked.

"Sure." Luke says and goes with Lucy. She could see that Luke had a forced smile. No one had failed him, he just wanted someone to listen to him.

Lucy stops him. "What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"I overheard Zee saying she was going back to the chaos she calls a city…a hero she is, yes, but…but…I just want to…be alone right now!" Luke cried.

"Oh, honey…." Charity holds Luke.

Lucy frowned and felt bad and angry. She was going to destroy every single villain and then tell Zee to go back to Royal Woods. Because Zee just ruined the day.

"No one ruins Luke's day and lives to tell the story…" Lucy says.

She comforts Luke as he throws his party outfit into the bathtub and screams.

Lucy sees Zee about to leave and thinks about using mind-control, but Luke hates that. She just ran and tackled Zee to the ground, dragging her.

"You aren't leaving" Lucy hissed as Zee blasted Lucy with magic. Thankfully, no one saw.

"I have rights, you know!" Zee says.

"Just. Go." Luke hissed.

"She's dead." Lucy says wanting to kill her.

"She can go." Luke hissed coldly.

Zee frowned and walked off.

Lucy frowned and decided to make sure Diana and Jessica don't leave.

Luke was feeling very unhappy. It was nobody's fault. It was just how he was thinking.

Later, Lucy sees the others finished decorating the lake house.

"Hey, Lucy, are you ready for your sweet 16?" Leni asked.

"I said I didn't want a party. Why can't you get it through your dumb head?!" Lucy screamed.

Charity took Leni out of the lake house while Lisa had to tell Lucy off. Lucy couldn't get out of this.

"She worked hard for you, but all you care about is just planning for Luke." Lisa says.

"Because it's his day, not mine! Why can't Leni ever understand anything "

"Because Luke was nice enough to help Leni with a gift for you. All she wanted was to be nice to you. Luke tried to tell her you didn't want a party." Lisa says.

Charity walked back in. "Leni understood you didn't want a party, Lucy. I think someone forced her to give you a party." She says.

"I'll bury them." Lucy says.

"Does someone want to speak up?" Charity asked.

Haiku sighed, raising her hand up.

"Go ahead." Charity says.

Lucy froze. She couldn't believe this. She just ran off sobbing as Charity waited for Haiku to speak.

"I'm sorry." Haiku says.

"She didn't want a birthday party." Charity tells her. "Why did you make Leni throw her a party?"

"So she could be happy for once. Being skinned alive was scary." Haiku says

"She said she didn't want a party. Most of the time, we comply with that request." Charity says. "She would rather hang out with friends than have a party. Have you even thought about that at all?"

Haiku looked down, feeling guilty.

Later, Luna leads Luke to the lake house as she hoped the party would go well. Luke was still looking down.

Suddenly, confetti fell on him.

"Surprise!" The siblings except Lucy say. "Happy 18th birthday, Luke!"

There were lots of guests. Luke sniffed, speechless. He then sheds tears.

"Oh, sweetie, don't cry…" Charity ran up to Luke and held him.

Everyone pitied him.

"Luke, come on, don't be sad…" Remy says.

"It's your birthday!" Lonnie says.

Luke sniffed and tried to smile.

He soon went out to ice skate on the lake.

In a nearby forest, Lucy was cutting her arm.

"Because of Haiku and Zee, Luke will be miserable." Lucy says, hurting herself as she could barely move her wounded arm.

"Well, if they want to celebrate me so badly, they can celebrate my funeral." Lucy hissed, banging her head on a tree.

Meanwhile, Leni looked down, upset that Lucy called her stupid. Luan noticed her.

"You should be with Luke." Leni sniffed. "Or anyone smart."

"Haiku forced you to give her the party. It wasn't your fault." Luan says. "You understood Mom when she said not to give Lucy a party."

Leni sniffed. It still hurt for Lucy to say that, especially to her.

Meanwhile, Angry Luigi was avoiding the party like he usually did in December.

"I'm not planning on getting in trouble of any kind." Angry Luigi says, knowing the drama as he began to get something to eat.

Emma was on the couch. The twins and Emma were alone without Willow for once.

Meanwhile, Melony watched Garrett's crew leave and smiled.

"I got the whole place to myself. That means total freedom." Melony says and goes to eat the remaining pizza.

With Luke, he watched as Lincoln did a magic show for him. He started to feel happy.

Next, Lola did a pageant show for him. Luke clapped and smiled more.

Meanwhile, Haiku looks for Lucy.

"Lucy?" Haiku asked as she sees Lucy's decapitated arm and froze.

There was blood on the snow. Haiku wanted to vomit. Seeing her best friend's arm was too scary, even for her. She began to wonder if Lucy's happiness connected to Luke's happiness. She then walked around and saw a decapitated leg.

Haiku fainted.

Meanwhile, Luan juggles for Luke, who was delighted by it. He then stared at the pile of presents, then shook his head.

"Something wrong?" Remy asked.

"I don't want to open those yet." Luke says. Remy understood.

Meanwhile, Haiku finally woke up.

"Lucy, Lucy…" Haiku called out worried that Lucy might actually take her life. She got up and walked around, following crawl marks and the trail of blood.

She sees Lucy in the snow. Her skin was cold as ice and paler than ever before. She was waiting for death.

Haiku picked her up.

"Lucy, say something." Haiku says.

Lucy didn't say anything as Haiku began to sob

"I'm so sorry, please don't die…" Haiku sniffed. "Please…Luke needs you."

Lucy didn't move as Haiku thinks about going to the lake house, but that would make Luke miserable as she knew he would hate losing his attention so she took her to the closest shelter she could find and made a fire

Lucy had a massive fever and was shaking and sweating. Her skin grafts were sort of peeled off.

"I just won't tell anyone until the week is over and Luke's officially done celebrating." Haiku says.

With Luke, he played games with his friends while the siblings chatted with their friends.

He then got bored and went to his room in the lake house, staring into the mirror.

Meanwhile, the guests at Lucy's party grew bored and began to leave.

"I can't believe Haiku lied." Dante says.

"Yeah, whatever happened to Lucy?" Persephone asked. She tries calling Lucy, but there was no response.

"Lucy never bothered to apologize, huh?" Lisa asked as Leni nodded

"Well, forget Lucy, let's try some punch." Lisa says.

Haiku saw Lucy's guests come up to her. Haiku quickly covered Lucy up.

"Sorry, guys, Lucy left. She said she couldn't stand to fail Luke." Haiku says with no emotion.

They leave as Haiku sighed. She felt Lucy shaking, coughing, and twitching, getting worse.

Haiku froze. She couldn't take Lucy to a hospital or Luke's week would be ruined. But she didn't have any choice at this point. She couldn't let her best friend suffer.

Haiku carried her to the hospital as people were gasping.

Luke stared out the window, watching the scene unfold.

"Hey, are you okay?" Shane asked. He saw the hurt in Luke's eyes. "Do you want to talk to me about it?"

"Lucy's stealing my spotlight!" Luke screamed and sobbed.

"First, she insults Leni. Now, she's trying to hurt Luke." Lisa says.

"She's a dead woman." a random guest says.

"No one hurts my friend!" Stephen says.

"What happened?" Leni asked.

"Lucy lost an arm and a leg…" Luna says as Leni, Shelby, and Shiloh gasped.

"Guys, it's still Luke's day. " Stephen says.

"NOT ANYMORE…" Luke hissed as he flew out.

"And it's ruined. Let's go kill Lucy." Remy says.

Luna goes to comfort Luke.

Lucy was slowly waking up to angry faces.

"I'm sorry…" Lucy says weakly. Lola slapped Lucy as the others hold her back

"Because of you, Luke's week is ruined" Lola says

"Yeah…" Stephen says to the suffering Lucy. He then looks over at his cousin.

Haiku looks away, ashamed.

"When she said she didn't want a party, she meant it." Stephen says. "Forcing her siblings to celebrate her is wrong."

"I'm sorry." Haiku says.

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to die and see Lynn. Not like you guys will care if I die and will just give Luke 7 days, so at least Luke can benefit from my death." Lucy says.

"Please, Lucy, I'm sorry." Haiku says as Lucy coughed.

"Well, because of this Luke is probably upset that his spotlight Is stolen and I can't really plan Luke's parties, so he has no use for me. I don't really need to stay alive anymore. Just let me die." Lucy says.

The siblings teared up, not wanting Lucy to die. Leni cried and regretted listening to Haiku.

"Will she live?" Lori asked Maria.

"Luckily, she will. We can attach her limbs back like new. But you all really disrespected her wishes." Maria says. "If she comes back from this alive, you will learn to listen to her when she says she doesn't want something."

The siblings glare at Haiku, who leaves ashamed. She was the one who didn't respect Lucy's wishes.

"Luke, I'm sure you'll get your spotlight back…" Luna says.

"Yeah, right." Luke says.

Luna took Luke back to see his friends, ready to do an ice skating show for him.

"A-A show…for me?" Luke sniffed.

They nodded as they soon did one of Luke's favorite scenes from the SpongeBob musical.

Luke smiled and clapped.

"You…do like me…" Luke sniffs.

Zee soon arrived to do a magic show for Luke.

"Ooooh…." Luke sniffed.

She pulled a Luke plushie out of a hat.

"It's a little me!" Luke says.

Zee then did card tricks as Luke was smiling.

After the show, it was gift time. Luke backed away.

"No…" Luke says.

"Sweetie, don't you want your presents?" Charity asked him.

"What's wrong?" Leni asked.

"No!" Luke hissed.

"I see why…they're all wrapped in black and white…" Remy says.

Zee used magic to make the presents Arctic blue.

"Oh…" Luke sniffs.

"Come on, honey, it's okay. Come open them." Charity says, reassuring Luke.

Luke opens some of his presents, but he didn't see one from Shane. He shrugged and opened more.

Brandy had got him a cool drawing as Luke smiled at this. Stephen got Luke a blueberry-scented plush bear.

Garrett got him a new car as he gasped and squealed. He then opened Luna's gift. It was a new guitar. He smiled and played it a little.

Lucy woke up, shivering.

"How much time do I have left?" Lucy asked.

"You're almost fixed up." Maria says.

"I don't feel like living." Lucy confesses. "I have a family who pretends they love me and tore my bond with Luke apart."

"Haiku confessed to telling Leni to give you a party." Maria says. "Your family wasn't going to celebrate your birthday, anyway."

Lucy looked betrayed by her best friend as Maria comforted her.

"She tore me apart from Luke! My family wasn't to blame! She was!" Lucy sobbed.

Haiku was outside, feeling guilty. She went against Lucy's wishes and basically ruined this day. Lucy would have been happy hanging out with her friends instead of having a birthday party she didn't want.

She goes inside, seeing Lucy's arm and leg back on her, thanks to Maria and her surgical team.

"Lucy, I'm sorry." Haiku says. "I just wanted you to have a happy birthday. But I guess I screwed up because I didn't listen to you or what you wanted at all." Haiku says.

"Leave me alone. I don't want to speak to you right now." Lucy says looking down.

Haiku frowned and nodded.

Meanwhile, Atticus knocked on Angry Luigi's door.

"Hey, how would you like to go on a little quest?" Atticus asked as Angry Luigi nodded before fainting.

Alem tuber looked annoyed.

Meanwhile, Melony was bored. Being alone wasn't much fun, so she decided to go out to see her fans. They cheered seeing her.

"Hello, everyone!" she says. She took pictures with them and told them stories.

They really liked her. At this point, Melony was becoming full of herself. She had lots of attention around her and was actually one of the favorites to win the All-Star Talent Showcase.

With Savannah, she was baking the cake as she then went up to Jerbo and Viney.

"Do you two wanna stay in Greendale or should we move here?" Savannah asked

"How dare you ask us that?" Viney says.

"We want to be with our friends!" Jerbo says.

"Okay, okay, we'll move to Royal Woods." Savannah says.

Angry Luigi poked the window, trying to get Savannah's attention.

"Huh?" Savannah asked, coming outside.

"Savannah, let me guess, you're moving to Luke town?" Alem tuber says

"Yeah, Jerbo and Viney said so. Mostly because they don't want to be away from Hunter, Gus, and Willow." Savannah says

"Yeah, and I'm surprised Melony hasn't come back to Royal Woods. I give her about two seconds before Garrett invites his friends to stay here." Alem tuber says.

"Hey, you guys wanna stay here in Royal Woods?" Garrett asked off screen.

"Yeah!" his friend group says.

"Make it one." Alem tuber says.

"Come on, we need a plan." Atticus says.

"This is our most important mission ever." Angry Luigi says.

"Well, I finished the cake. I guess I can win the Royal Woods Baker award for once." Savannah says as they leave.

Mike and Josh looked annoyed that the cosmic buddies were starting to ditch Greendale for Royal Woods.

Later, Luke and Zee dance. Luke sighed. He could see a lot was missing.

"What's wrong?" Zee asked.

"First, where is my birthday butler? Second, where are my friends?" Luke hissed.

Oliver Queen came in. Luke folded his arms.

"Sorry, master." He says.

"You will be. Zee, where is the pool I asked for?" Luke asked. Zee takes him to it.

"Ah, perfect…" Luke says. He began swimming with his friends.

Luke had Oliver Queen serve him as his friends giggle at his butler costume.

He looked down, but knew he fit in here.

Maria checked on Lucy. Lucy was fidgeting with her stitches.

"No, no, sweetie, you have to let them heal." Maria says.

Lucy didn't listen. She teared up as her head wasn't in the right mind. She tore her leg off in anger and screams, sobbing.

Maria reattached it and held her. She knew she was hurting a lot. Not only from the reattachment process, but from the fact that she had been betrayed.

Lucy's heart was beating fast as she sobbed wanting to just die. Haiku took everything from her.

With Luke, he was being fed grapes by Oliver Queen.

Leni frowned as she looked at the cake Luke baked for Lucy.

She goes to give it to her

"So who's on my team?" Luke asked.

"Please pick me!" Oliver Queen says. "I'd do anything for you, master…"

"Keep feeding me, butler. You're my first member." Luke says as Oliver Queen nods and keeps feeding Luke grapes.

"What about me?" Shane asked.

"And you, too." Luke says to Shane.

"Oh, Diana. And I think that's it." Luke says.

"You should hear Diana sing, Luke." Shane says. "She's made tremendous progress!"

Meanwhile, Melony was looking for a good teammate.

"Okay, who wants to be on my team?" Melony says.

"You should join Luke." one kid says.

"I doubt Luke would want me on his team. Savannah quit singing and I'm not teaming up with Alem tuber. He's nowhere near my level." Melony says.

She thinks about Stephen, Remy, and Ollie. Then smiled.

"I choose Stephen, Remy, and Ollie." Melony says.

Carol was watching and looked annoyed and thought of her team.

Meanwhile, Leni gave Lucy the cake Luke baked. Lucy then smiled upon seeing this.

"Tell Luke I said I'm sorry. I can't attend his birthweek." Lucy says. "I'm mentally ill again. I guess I just break every time Luke's upset."

"I'll also tell him you said thanks for the cake. And don't worry about Luke. You worry about recovering. Recovery and rest are totes important." Leni says.

Lucy looked down. "Sorry that I called you dumb. I was just mad and upset. I knew you had listened to me, but I was also too upset to realize that Haiku made you do it." She sniffed and hugged Leni with her good arm. Leni hugged her back.

With Luke, he sees a campfire.

"Campfire story and s'more time!" Luke grinned and followed everyone outside.

He sat by the fire, roasting marshmallows and smiling as he hung out with his guests.

Luke even lets Oliver Queen tell a story, which Luke showed interest in as he listened intently.

Zee eats a s'more and also showed interest in the story.

Savannah made a s'more cake that said Happy Epic 18th Birthday, Luke!

She smiled, finishing the cake before setting it among the desserts.

Soon, it was piñata time as they were doing it out on the lake house deck. Luna carried out the pull-string tent piñata as she smiled at Luke.

"Ooooh!" Luke says with a grin. Luke pulls the correct ribbon on the piñata as candy and camping-themed party favor toys fall out. He smiles and grabs his share of it, soon playing with a camping-themed fidget spinner.

"Who's ready for cake and s'mores sundaes?" Charity asked.

Luke ran up to Charity. "Me!" He says.

"You look so happy, my little star!" Charity says as she scoops Luke up in a hug. "I love your smile! And you!"

Soon, everyone gathered inside for cake and sundaes. Leni lit the candles as Luke smiled and stood in front of his cake.

Luna strummed her guitar and Diana led off the birthday song. Shane was just smiling at how well she was singing as he sang with everyone else.

Luke thinks of a wish as he watches his 18 candles burn brightly. He then wished for his birthweek to keep getting more and more fun as he blew out all 18 candles in one big breath, hoping that wish would come true.

Zee then fed him his cake and s'mores sundae while telling him how amazing he is. Luke adored compliments and couldn't get enough of them.

With Lucy, Maria was soon coming into her room.

"So, what will you do about your friend?" Maria asked Lucy as she came in to check on her.

"I don't know." Lucy says. "This was a pretty big betrayal. It hurts so much…"

Lucy began to sob as Maria held her. "She tore me away from Luke, this week of all weeks. And now I have to miss a lot of his week because of her!"

"We'll work nights to make sure you get to attend at least a few of his celebrations. Luke means a lot to you, and by extension, he means a lot to Ronalda Anne, too." Maria says. "I promise we'll have you all fixed up before the week is over."

"Isn't he engaged to Zee?" Lucy asked.

"Luke and Ronalda are friends, and they talk a lot. She'll probably go to the final party of the week, but can't attend the others due to school and other commitments like time with her friends and senior year stuff she has to do for school." Maria says. "She knows about the engagement and is very happy for them both."

Meanwhile, Melony was sitting on a throne and smiling. She knew she was finally on Luke's level.

"All hail Melony! All hail Melony!" Fans chant.

"Hey, Melony, we have a mission." Chrissy says.

"All right!" Melony says, excited.

With Zee, she was taking a shower. Giovanni knocked gently on the door.

"Yes, father?" Zee asked.

"I brought clean towels, sweetheart." He says.

"Thanks, Daddy!" She says.

"Of course, my little spark." Giovanni says.

She then finished her shower, dried off, and dressed in her pajamas.

"So, how was the party?" Giovanni asked. "Was the lake house fun?"

"Great!" she says. "And even though he is my rival, Oliver Queen tells fascinating stories."

"So, are you looking forward to going to school with Luke tomorrow?" Giovanni asked.

"Yes, Daddy. Even though I'm a bit nervous." Zee says.

"You'll have fun. I'm sure of it." Giovanni reassures his daughter.

Zee blushed, thinking of Luke in his school uniform.

They never did it, and she wasn't sure when she wanted to get him laid. But she could think about that another time, when she wasn't thinking of other things.
