Before we begin, I'd like to thank That Engineer for giving me a good idea on how to continue the story, and be able to bring forth the story I had planned with this idea. Of course, I still have yet to show how the rest of the story will go, but everything will happen at it's given time.

And before any of you ask, I'm not making this a long story. Probably below 10 chapters at best.

So anyway, let's move on.

Night time had arrived at the Loud house, and everybody were getting ready to sleep. This included Luna and Luan, with the latter clearly showing through her shivering that she had a bit of trouble falling asleep. After all, she just told her sister that she was the clown girl from the newspaper Lynn Sr. read! Yeah, she knew she

Although, that fact alone wasn't the only reason she couldn't sleep...

"Luna, can I ask you something?" the comedian inquired.

Without turning to look at her, Luna just said, "Go ahead, Love."

"Why did you ask me if I was adopted?" Luan asked, causing her musically-gifted "sister" to flinch. "Mom and dad told you I was adopted from the first day I arrived, so I'd expect you to be more surprised at the fact I used to be Chuckles."

"Well, that was really more along the lines of me just suddenly switching phrases," Luna answered, rubbing the back of her head. "You see, I was surprised more at the fact that you were the Chuckles girl who appeared in the newspaper, but since I had the feeling asking about that wouldn't help anybody, I went with the next best thing, which was asking if you were adopted."

"Which you already knew."

"Yeah... Anyway, I already explained myself, so how about we go to sleep already?"

Luan didn't answer, for she felt Luna's explanation wasn't good enough. But judging by the rocker's snoring, that didn't stop her from falling asleep. So, she figured, why not? It may be a Saturday tomorrow, but that didn't mean she couldn't have some shut-eye.

So she closed her eyes, and hoped she wouldn't get any nightmares this time...

Cue the nightmare...

Luan heard an explosion that caused her to "wake up" right away, right in the middle of a familiar setting: The birthday party where Chuckles did her last performance. More importantly, the aftermath of the last performance: whatever wood was there was charred and burnt, some party hats had partially been destroyed due to the fire, and of course, there was yellow police tape surrounding the area, and hopefully stopping anybody from blindly coming in.

Not only that, but the whole area was in black and white, except for the fires, which were colored. "Oh no... No, not this again!" Luan exclaimed, grabbing her head in a panic. "This... This can only mean one thing-"

Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Not only that, but she felt a person approaching her, and she had an idea of who it was...

"Ugh, it's you, isn't it?" the comedian remarked as she felt the person walking closer to her.

Then, once the footsteps finally stopped, Luan opened her eyes and was met with a defiant glare from someone who looked just like her, but with two ponytails instead of two. This was none other than Chuckles, who's stern glare and bags under her eyes implied a certain degree of exhaustion and exasperation.

"Chuckles," Luan said at her copycat, clearly unnerved at her appearance.

"Yes, of course it's me. Did you really expect to see anybody else in here?" Chuckles crossed her arms. "After all, we're in your mind."

Then, she took a step forward and met the comedian face-to-face.

"My mind."

Chuckles too a couple steps back, then looked around at the scorched environment.

"Which you can easily tell from where we are," Chuckles added as she walked to a partially burnt party hat, while Luan just covered her ears and closed her eyes again. "Do you still remember this place? This, is where the fire started."

"Shut up," Luan hissed, though it sounded more like she was pleading.

Chuckles, however, just turned to the comedian and growled:

"This, is where you left me behind."

"Shut up!" Luan snapped, earning a glare from her copycat. "I-I left the past behind, okay?! I'm no longer the Luan that caused a fire and brought a bad name to my family! I'm now a brand new comedian! A brand new entertainer who won't repeat the same mistakes she did!"

"You know you're lying to yourself, my mere existence proves that!" Chuckles stated as she walked towards her counterpart. "Nothing you say will ever change the fact that you ran away from the mistakes you did, and left behind a caring family, your true family, in the process!"

"W-Well, what makes you think they would've continued being caring after the incident?!" the comedian growled, but her past self refused to flinch. "I burned a whole birthday party down, all because I... You... We couldn't stop after getting her to laugh! We committed arson! The police got involved! Do you really think they'll want anything to do with us after what we did?!""

"...Is that it?" Chuckles folded her arms. "Really, is that all you can think of? Not only did we commit arson, but we ran away, not only from our own actions but from our family, and went on to become someone else entirely, and that's the best excuse you can come up with?"

"It's not an excuse! It's a legitimate reason!" Luan snapped, stomping the ground. "And nothing you say will change my mind!"

However, those exact words made Chuckles remember something. This caused her to smile and tell Luan a horrible fact:

"Next week's April 1st."

That statement sent chills up Luan's spine, and as she grew fearful at the implications, Chuckles rubbed salt in the wound:

"You still remember what happens every April Fools Day, don't you? The very same day you caused the fire and ran away from your life as Chuckles, your mind succumbs to the pressure, and I get the chance to exist once more. And as long as I'm dominant, I make you pull pranks that grow more and more dangerous as they continue. All in some efforts to be noticed-"

"No!" Luan exclaimed.

"To have the police realize who we are!"

"Shut up!"

"To be arrested, incarcerated, outright punished for our crimes!"

"Stop talking!"

"To pay for what-"

Suddenly, a voice spoke, "Luan?"

This woke up the troubled comedian, who was met with a worried look from Luna.

"I heard you rolling a little to the left and right, saying somebody to stop talking. You usually only roll, so when I heard you talking, I got worried," the musician said as she brushed her younger sister's hair. "Is something wrong, Love?"

"...It was Chuckles," the comedian quietly-and hesitantly-confessed. "I met her in my dreams again, and like always, she reminded me of what I did and that April Fools Day will come soon. How she'll take me over and force me to do those horrible pranks all over again!"

This, alongside Luan grabbing her head and taking several deep breaths, made Luna realize the joker wasn't going to fall asleep without something... Or somebody, to help her deal with her past's torment.

"I can't let you sleep like this, Dude," Luna got on Luan's bed and hugged her. "How about I sleep with you today, just in case you get another nightmare like that?"

Luan didn't answer. Rather, she just nodded and smiled before she fell asleep again, with Luna keeping an eye on her to make sure she was sleeping well. And once she moaned and smiled, seemingly in relief, Luna kissed her forehead and went to sleep as well.

Meanwhile, with Bobby and Ronnie Anne...

The siblings slept on their bedroom as a shadowy figure entered the room, walked up to them, and flashed a malicious smile. And just as they woke up and noticed her, she said:

"Ready for your big debut?"

And then, it all went black.
