A/N: This story will focus on something different than what I've done recently. I really thank you all for your support on my stories. And without any further ado, let's do this.
It was a bright and sunny afternoon on the streets of Franklin Avenue. Luan and Lincoln were walking home after another successful birthday party, the former carrying two slices of cake, one in each hand, while the latter was hauling a wagon containing the assortment of props that the two have utilized in their performance.
"That had to be one of the best acts that we've put on in a while, huh, Linc?" Luan said, nudging Lincoln's shoulder.
"Couldn't agree with you more, Luan," Lincoln replied, albeit tired.
As the two approached the Loud house, they spotted the mailman about to insert a letter inside their mailbox.
"Hey, Mr. Mailman!" Luan called out to him, getting his attention. "Who's the letter for?"
"It's a letter addressed to 'Luan Loud'," he responded while reading the name of the recipient from the letter. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh! That's me!" the comedienne said happily, extending her arm out for the letter.
"Okay then, here you go, Luan," the mailman said, tipping his hat down slightly to greet Lincoln, the latter responding with a simple upward head tilt to return the gesture, before the former headed off to continue his route down the block.
"What's in the letter, Luan?" the white-haired Loud boy asked.
"My monthly payment from ViewTube," Luan explained. "Come on, I need to put this in my room right away. You know how our family is hungry for money; just seeing their reactions is just too rich! HAHAHA! Get it?" she punned, making Lincoln roll his eyes. As Luan entered the house, Lincoln wheeled the wagon into the garage. and met up with her as she was entering her room that she shared with Luna. As the two opened the door, they saw the rocker-girl finishing a cover for a song that she was going to upload onto the internet.
"So look around you and tell me what you really see," Luna sang, jamming it on her guitar while banging her head to the beat being blasted from her speaker. "You live a lie and that's the difference in you and me! I have the power, let me show you what it's all about! It's only me and you, who is gonna save you now?"
As Luna faded out from the song and stopped the recording, she was greeted by Lincoln and Luan clapping.
"Oh, hey dudes!" Luna said cheerfully as she took of her headphones, gave Luan a high-five, ruffled Lincoln's hair in a playful manner and fist-bumped him.
"That was an awesome performance, Luna!" Lincoln commented.
"Yeah, Luna! You totally rocked it!" Luan added.
"Aw, thanks guys...!" Luna said, before pulling the two into a hug, them not resisting to return it. "What's in the envelope, Luan?" the rocker-girl asked after releasing the hug and directing their attention to the envelope still in the comedienne's hands.
"My monthly payment," Luan responded as she took out her letter opener from the desk drawer and proceeded to open the envelope.
"Winky!" Lily suddenly said, popping out from behind one of Luna's pillows and startling Lincoln, causing her to giggle. Luna snickered as well.
"Lily...!" Lincoln said in an irritated, yet playful manner, before picking up the infant and booping her nose, making her laugh. "You sneaky, little trickster!" he said as he hoisted Lily into the air; the latter spread her arms and legs as if she were flying.
"Looks like Lily is going to become the next Lucy, huh?" Luna remarked to Lincoln regarding Lily's successful attempt at scaring him.
"How long has she been here, Luna?" Lincoln asked, carrying the baby in his arms, the latter cuddling against his shirt, before tugging at it, getting Lincoln's attention.
"Hm? What is it, Lily?"
Lily held up six fingers and then four fingers, confusing the white-haired Loud boy.
"About ten minutes," Luna said, translating Lily's attempt at communicating with him. "She just crawled in here and snuggled against my pillow. The little dudette has been here ever since."
"Sweet!" Luan exclaimed, garnering the attention of the three.
"What is it, Luan?" Lincoln asked.
"I managed to get $1,200 over this past month! This is going straight in my piggy bank!"
"How much money do you have in there right now, dude?" Luna questioned.
"Over seven-thousand dollars," the prankster replied as she pulled out her piggy bank from inside the closet.
Suddenly, a barrage of footsteps were suddenly audible as they were growing increasingly louder before they abruptly came to a halt. At that moment, Lynn kicked open the door and behind her were the other Loud sisters.
"Did someone say, 'SEVEN-thousand dollars'?" Lola said, a wicked grin spread across her face.
"Yeah, I did," Luan responded nonchalantly, confusing Lincoln, Luna, and Lily, the three of them exchanging glances with each other, before focusing their attention on the rest of their sisters.
"Where did you literally get that much money?!" Lori demanded.
"My ViewTube channel," the jokester explained. "That's how I've been making money. I'm saving up so I can buy a new camera set at $10,000, compete with a new tripod and microphone."
"You can make money simply by posting videos online? What has our world come to?" Lucy said in her usual monotone manner.
"Yeah, when people watch your videos, it increases the view counter. The number of views you have will show you how much money the ViewTube service will pay you." Luan said while putting the $1,200 in her piggy bank, increasing her total amount to over $8,200.
"All right, that's it," Lynn said, now in her "game face" form. "I'm gonna make a ViewTube channel that will get me thousands of dollars! Later, losers!" she taunted before rushing out of the doorway.
"Oh no, you don't!" Lana yelled as she bolted out of the hallway, the rest of the sisters following suit.
"Easy money, here I come!" Lola said, excited.
"Shopping spree at the mall, here I come!" Leni said enthusiastically.
"This is literally going to be a piece of cake! I could buy the new periwinkle dress I saw on display at the department store the other day...!" Lori said happily.
"If being able to educate homosapiens on the ins and outs of Schrodinger's box makes me money in the process, then so be it!" Lisa said under her breath.
"Sigh. Whatever it takes..." Lucy said in a deadpan manner before closing the door to her and Lynn's room, ready to join the ViewTube community alongside her sisters.
"Well, Luan," Lincoln said, breaking the silent tension amongst the four of them back in the room. "You were right. Seeing their reactions is rich."
"Looks like you got some competition ahead of you, dude," Luna chirped. "How do you feel?"
"Poo-poo!" Lily babbled, indicating that she had just soiled her diaper.
"Augh, Lily!" Lincoln said as he rushed the baby out of the room to give her a fresh one. "We'll be right back!" he called out.
As Lincoln stepped out, Luna approached the spaced-out Luan standing in the doorway.
"You okay, sis?" Luna asked, concerned before placing a hand on Luan's left shoulder.
With all of the other sisters eager to make videos and be successful, the problem that resonated with Luan was that they don't have ANY sort of experience when it comes to making a ViewTube video.
"This isn't gonna end well..." were the only words Luan uttered out of her mouth.
A/N: All right, new story, new synopsis, and new approach. How will each of the Loud sisters' channels play out? Will they be any good? Or will they fall flat on their faces? Most likely the second option.
