Upstairs, Vampirina went into her room with Lucy, Luna, Luan, Lola, and Lana. "Here we are!" said Vampirina.
"Whoa! You have a coffin shaped bed?!" Lucy said in awe when she saw Vampirina's bed. "Vampirina, you must be the luckiest girl in the world!"
Luan started making her ventriloquist dummy Mr. Coconuts cough. "Gee, Mr. Coconuts! I think you need some coffin drops!" She laughed. "Get it?"
Vampirina laughed. "Good one, Luan!"
"Thanks, Vee!" Luan said. "But I gotta say, this house sure is spooky!"
"I've seen spookier, Toots!" said Mr. Coconuts.
"Like what?" asked Luan.
"Well, have you looked in a mirror lately?"
Luan gasped. "What did you say?!"
Vampirina laughed. "You're quite the comedian!" She suddenly heard something rip and saw Lana with Franken-Stacey, one of Vee's Scream Girl dolls.
Lana froze with Franken-Stacey's arm in her left hand and Franken-Stacey in her right hand.
"LANA! Look what you did to Vee's dolly!" Lola snapped.
"It's okay, Lola!" Vee said. "Franken-Stacey's arms are suppose to come off! Her limbs are detachable."
"Really?!" Lana ripped off the other arm and even a leg. "A doll you can actually rip apart?! Awesome!"
Lola picked up a different Scream Girl doll. "What's this doll, Vee?"
"That's Creepy Caroline. Her hair comes in two styles: Serpent braids and the Poisonous Beehive!" Vee demonstrated her doll's hair changing.
"Ooooh!" Lola's eyes sparkled. "I don't have a dolly that can do that!"
"Whoa, Vee! Is this your guitar?!" Luna said when she saw Vampirina's spookylele. She grabbed the instrument and played a few notes. "Pretty sweet!"
"Thanks, Luna. That's my spookylele. I got it from Transylvania." said Vee. "I'm actually in a band called the Ghoul Girls."
"No way! You're in a band?! That's rockin', dude!" Luna whipped out her own guitar. "How about a little bedtime concert?!" She strummed some catchy, yet ear-splitting jams.
Vee's door swung open. It was Lori holding her phone. "Will you guys keep it down?! I'm literally trying to talk to Bobby right now!" She left, slamming the door hard.
"Well, shut the front door!" Luan joked with a laugh.
The sisters groaned, but Vampirina laughed. "Wow! You guys are so lucky to have so many sisters!"
The Loud sisters gave a respective frown. "Easy for you to say, dude." says Luna.
"What do you mean?" asked Vampirina.
"Please, you don't know what it's like to have so many siblings constantly in your face." Lucy said. "Especially when they don't understand you at all."
"Well, you can't blame us, Lucy. You're the weird one!" Lola snipped. "I mean, you sleep in a coffin, you think broccoli has feelings, you can somehow see through your thick bangs, and you talk to a creepy vampire statue like it's a real person! I mean, who does that?!"
Vampirina was shocked by Lola's harsh words. She looked over to Lucy, whose expression was hard to tell due to her black bangs hiding her eyes.
"Siggggghhhhh..." Lucy exhaled before leaving the room.
"Lucy! Wait!" Vee followed Lucy outside her room. "Don't be sad!"
"It's fine, Vampirina. Sad is normal behavior for me. Besides, Lola's right. Nobody understands me because I'm different from my sisters. Not just for my habits, but looks as well. I don't resemble my family in the least."
"But there's nothing wrong with that!" Vampirina retorted. "Everybody's different, even siblings can be different. And...I know how you feel."
"No, you don't." Lucy said quickly. "You may have style, but you don't understand."
"But I do understand!" Vampirina looked down at the floor. "I'm more different than you can imagine."
Lucy turned to Vampirina. "What do you mean?"
Just then, Rita Loud came out from her room. "Lucy! Have you seen Lily?! She's wandered off somewhere!"
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll find her. I'm pretty good when it comes to hiding." Lucy assured. "You just go to bed and get some rest."
Rita smiled. "Thank you, Sweetie." She kissed her daughter's forehead and retired to her room.
"See, Lucy? Your mom still loves you even though you're different." Vampirina said.
"Yeah, you're right about that." Lucy rubbed her chin. "So, if I were Lily, where would I hide?"
Up in the attic, Demi and Gregoria were laying on the pull out couch waiting for Chef Remy to return with some snacks.
"I have returned with my specially made ice scream!" Remy said as he arrived carrying a tray of three bowls Of monsterous looking ice cream, except the desserts opened their mouths and actually screamed!
"Oh, boy!" Demi whizzed over and took his own bowl. The monsters dug into the skeleton's dessert.
"So, thoughts on my delectable dessert?" asked Remy. He popped a scoop of ice scream in his mouth.
"Poo-poo!"
Remy gasped, dropping his spoon in shock. "POO-POO?!" He put his bowl aside and glared at Demi and Gregoria. "Which one of you said my ice scream is poo-poo?!"
Demi shook his head. "I didn't say anything!"
"Don't look at me!" said Gregoria.
But Remy was still angry. "Well, if you didn't, then who-"
"Poo-poo!"
Remy paused his words. He froze, as did Gregoria and Demi. They slowly turned to the side and saw Lily right next to Chef Remy.
Lily giggled.
"Human!" Demi gasped. He made himself disappear. Gregoria made herself stiff as a statue and Remy dove behind a pile of cardboard boxes.
"Goo?" Lily crawled over to where Chef Remy was hiding. She poked his leg bone, making the skeleton jump with a yelp.
"What is this baby human doing here?!" Remy asked in distress. "She will be terrified of us!"
Gregoria unfrozen. "I don't know, Chef. She doesn't look terrified to me."
Remy and Demi saw how Lily wasn't scared at all. The little Loud was smiling and waddled over to Remy. She cooed and held her little arms up.
"Awww! She is just the cutest!" Demi gushed.
"I think she wants you to pick her up, Chef!" said Gregoria.
Lily's cuteness made Remy give in. He picked up Lily and held her close. Lily giggled as she played with the skeleton's twirly beard, making the skeleton chuckle.
"Cheeky one, aren't you?" Remy tickled Lily's tummy with his bony fingers. The baby squeaked and giggled happily. She pointed to Remy's bowl of ice scream. "Oh! Do you want some ice scream, little one?" The skeleton fed Lily a spoonful of his dessert. Lily felt her taste buds tingle with glee. She babbled with delight.
"She likes it!" Remy said, very happy.
Gregoria smiled and crossed her stone arms. "Guess this human doesn't mind monsters at all."
In the living room, where Lincoln was sound asleep on the couch, Vampirina watched Lucy dig through her coffin shaped suitcase and take out a crystal ball. "I'll see if I can find Lily with this."
"A crystal ball?!" Vampirina gasped. "You can really use one?!"
"Scoff. Of course, I can. I'm the weird one, remember?"
Lincoln started to wake up. "Lucy? What's going on?" He rubbed his tired eyes.
"Sorry, Lincoln. I'm going to contact the spirits to find Lily." Lucy answered casually.
"Okay." Lincoln yawned. "But do it quietly."
As Lincoln fell back to sleep, Lucy sat cross-legged on the floor and waved her hands over the crystal ball, humming an eerie melody. Vampirina gasped as she watched it actually gleamed!
"Lucy-" But Vampirina was cut off by Lucy's raised hand in her face.
"I need concentration." Lucy continued reading the crystal ball. A moment later, she stopped gazing and the ball dimmed down. "I was able to locate Lily. She's in the attic."
"The attic?!" Vampirina panicked. All of her monster friends were hiding in said attic! "Don't worry, Lucy! I'll go get Lily right now!" She rushed straight up to the attic, awfully fast...something Lucy noticed right away.
