Luan just came home from school and she told her siblings that she made a new friend today. "Her name is Jade Russell and I heard that she just moved into town the other day" said Luan. "We're happy for you Luan" said Lynn. "Thanks Lynn. I can't wait to have my first hangout with her on Saturday" said Luan. "Did you even ask mom and dad about that?" asked Lynn. "I will" said Luan. "You do know April Fools Day is on Saturday right?" asked Lana. "I do and like every year, I'm gonna pull lots of pranks and I'm gonna make sure Jade has a good laugh" said Luan. "You just met Jade. Maybe you should make the pranks this year less extreme" said Lincoln. "You know me guys. I never make pranks that are not extreme. When Jade comes over I'd love to just say HAY!" said Luan. She laughed at her joke. "Okay just don't say I didn't warn you" said Lincoln.
Then Luan talked to Lynn Sr. and Rita about the hangout. "I don't know sweetie. Saturday is April Fools Day and you always pull a bunch of pranks that day. One of them could end up hurting Jade" said Rita. "No need to worry. I'll make sure that the pranks will be safe and funny for Jade this year" said Luan. "Okay because Jade seems to be a very nice girl and you need to promise us that you won't go overboard this year" said Rita. "I promise" said Luan.
Luan went to her room and started to make a list of ideas for pranks to pull on Saturday. She giggled to herself while writing. "I can't wait to see the look on Jade's face when she witnesses all these pranks" said Luan. On the night before April Fools Day while everyone was sleeping, Luan stayed up to set all of the pranks. It was nearly midnight when she was done and luckily, no one was awake to hear her. She went to bed and imagined what tomorrow would be like. Luan imagined having a great time with Jade laughing at all the pranks she pulled. "You are hilarious Luan! I wish I could be a good prankster like you" said Jade. "I'm sure you will Jade. If you need advice, you can always come to me" said Luan. "We've gotten so close on this hangout so that means we're best friends right?" asked Jade. "Yep! Best friends forever!" said Luan. Jade and Luan hugged each other. It was a great dream for Luan.
Before everyone knew it, it was morning. Everyone was hiding somewhere safe in the house while Luan was sitting on the couch waiting for Jade to come. The doorbell rang and Luan opened it. Jade was standing outside. "Hi Jade! Welcome to my home! Come on in!" said Luan. Jade came inside. "So this is your home?" asked Jade. "Yeah!" said Luan. "Where are your parents?" asked Jade. "Hiding I think" said Luan. "From what?" asked Jade. Luan shrugged. "Why don't we chat before we do something?" said Luan. "Okay" said Jade.
"Want to have a snack?" Luan asked. "Sure" said Jade. They went to the kitchen and Jade noticed that there was grease on the kitchen floor. "Why is there grease on the kitchen floor?" asked Jade. "I don't know. Maybe someone forgot to mop the floor last night" said Luan. Jade stepped on the grease trap and like last year with Lincoln, a boot contraption kicked her into the fridge while a box fell on her head. She slipped on the grease as she got up and Jade opened the fridge door. A boxing glove on a spring hit her in the face and the force of impact propelled her into the stove. "OW!" screamed Jade. She held her arm and she had a black eye. Then a bunch of vicious raccoons popped out of the stove and attacked Jade making her scream more and louder in pain. "I made that dish from scratch!" said Luan. She laughed at her joke.
Jade didn't think it was funny. She was screaming very loudly and she looked like she was in a lot of pain. Lynn Sr. and Rita heard the screaming and came in the kitchen. "What is going on here?!" said Lynn Sr. "Luan set up this prank for me!" said Jade. The parents gasped. "Call of the raccoons! Call them off!" Jade yelled. Luan whistled with her fingers and that called off the raccoons. They ran away and Jade was covered in scratches and bruises. She was also bleeding and started to sob. "Luan, we're going to have a serious talk about this after we take care of Jade understand?" said Rita. "Yes Mom" said Luan sadly. Jade's screaming was so loud, Luan's siblings came over to see what happened. "What happened here?" asked Lincoln. "This isn't a good time for you all to know so go back to hiding for now" said Rita. "Okay" said the kids and they went back to hiding.
Rita and Lynn Sr. called Jade's parents and the hospital and soon Jade's parents arrived and so has an ambulance. The Loud kids came outside when they saw the ambulance. A few paramedics went inside the house to get Jade. "Did a prank go too far?" asked Lana. "Yeah. It did. I used the same one from last year because I wanted to do a re-run on it" said Luan. "Was it the one with the grease on the kitchen floor and the raccoons attack?" asked Lincoln. "Yeah" said Luan. The paramedics came outside pushing a stretcher with Jade on it. Jade's parents rushed over to their daughter. "Oh my goodness! Jade what happened?!" said Jade's mother. "...Luan...pranked...me" said Jade weak. "Don't worry sweetheart, you'll be better soon..I hope" said Jade's father. Luan rushed over to Jade before she got placed in the back of the ambulance. "Jade I am so-" Luan began. "You traitor! You're not my friend anymore!" Jade yelled. Hearing those words made Luan shocked. The paramedics closed the back doors and got inside the ambulance. The ambulance left the house with Jade and her parents inside it.
The kids went inside. "Your father and I need to talk to Luan alone so you all go to your rooms" said Rita. The kids went to their rooms and Luan sat on the couch. "We can't believe you disobeyed us! And what's worse is that you broke your promise!" said Lynn Sr. angrily. "I know. I just wanted to have fun with the pranks like the previous years" said Luan. "That's no excuse for what you did to Jade!" said Rita. "Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry!" said Luan. "Don't apologize just to us! You should also apologize to Jade" said Rita. "I was just about to when she got in the ambulance but she interrupted me" said Luan. "Well then we'll have to pay her a visit so you can apologize face to face. As punishment for disobeying us and breaking your promise, you're grounded for a month. And that means no pranks for anyone understand?" said Lynn Sr. "Yes Dad" said Luan looking down. "Now go to your room and think about what you did" said Rita. "Okay Mom" said Luan. She went upstairs to her room looking down. She sat on her bed and Luna said "You gonna be okay sis?". "I don't even know anymore" said Luan.
