Lawrence Loud - Tales of the Loud House
Tricked!
Today was October 31st, Halloween. The Loud house was covered in Halloween decorations as the entrance of a corn maze sat next to it. Offscreen, a fridge door opened, and a scream was heard, as bats flew out of the house and towards the screen, darkening the picture. We then see Lynn Sr. screaming in horror after seeing a fake severed head with fake blood in the fridge.
"I hate Halloween!" he exclaimed, walking away.
Lawrence then peeked his head in, and snickered. He then walked over to the fridge and took out the severed head.
He sighed. "I love Halloween."
He then turned to the camera. "Today is none other than October 31st, and my little sister Lucy has prepared with a haunted corn maze. Me, mom, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn and Lucy are going to be taking part in giving the people of Royal Woods quite the scare." he said, as he put on his best demonic smile. (Bill Skarsgård's IT smile)
He then went into the living room to the others.
In the living room, in counterclockwise order, we see Luan fashioning a sign reading HAUNTED CORN MAZE in red-stained corn cobs, Leni hanging black curtains, Luna, Lincoln, Lana, Lola, and Lynn carving jack-o-lanterns, Lisa making fake blood in a bucket, Lily playing with pumpkin innards and Charles resting against a corn cob. Lucy entered after Lawrence and smiled.
Lucy went over to Lisa. "Excellent fake blood, Lisa. Add some molasses for better consistency."
"Hey, Luce!" Lynn called. Lucy turned to her. "Check out our pumpkins! What do you think?"
Lucy started examining Lynn, Lola, Lana, Lincoln and Luna's candleless jack-o-lanterns.
"Hmm… more blood here..." she said, pointing to a spot on Lynn's pumpkin.
"...few more gashes on this one..." she motioned around Lola's pumpkin.
"...knock out a tooth..." she flicked out a tooth on Lana's pumpkin.
"...add some more mousse to those scabs..." she pointed to the scabs on Lincoln's pumpkin.
"...dampen the head wounds." she patted Luna's pumpkin.
"Halloween's kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you!" Luna commented.
"Totes!" Leni said. "I'm so glad mom finally let you do your haunted corn maze!"
"As am I. I've been waiting my whole life to do this. Not to mention my past lives." Lucy then walked off to Luan, who had just finished her sign. "Fantastic sign work, Luan. Just the right mixture of corn and gore."
"Ah, shucks! It's just something I cob-bled up together from a kernel of an idea!" She then danced, laughing. "Oh, yes! A triple!"
"Luan, those jokes were too corny for my taste." Lawrence punned, then laughed along with Luan.
Everyone groaned as jack-o-lanterns were thrown onto Luan and Lawrence's heads.
"I'd expect more support from my pump-kin!" she punned, laughing along with Lawrence.
Lucy facepalmed. She then turned to the other Louds. "Thanks for all your hard work, guys. This is gonna be the best Halloween ever. I'm so excited."
Her face, however, showed very little change in emotion.
"Trust me, she's excited." Lawrence meta-referenced.
"GAAAAAH! I hate Halloween!" everyone heard Lynn Sr. exclaim.
"Oh." Everyone turned to Lucy. "Dad must have found the severed limbs I stored in his closet."
Lawrence sighed. "If only dad liked Halloween…"
"Unfortunately, he doesn't like horror as much as you do, Lawrence." Rita said, entering the room. "I just hope he'll survive taking the kids trick or treating."
Lawrence then put his hand to his mouth to think. He then turned to Rita.
"Mom," everyone looked at him. "Why don't I take Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily trick or treating this time?"
Before Rita could say anything, Lucy spoke up.
"But you promised to help me scare the people in the corn maze." she said, looking up at Lawrence. She sounded sad, at least to her brother's ears.
Lawrence kneeled down to Lucy. "I know Lucy, but you can still do it without me." he said, smiling.
"But your costume was the scariest…" Lucy said.
"Wait," Lori spoke up. "You saw Lawrence's costume?"
Lincoln then turned to the camera. "Every year at Halloween, Lawrence never tells what he dresses as until the time comes to go trick or treating, or nowadays, a party. Last year he dressed as a serial killer, before that he dressed as the Slender Man, before that he dressed as Bloody Mary, before that, he dressed as a vampire… they may not sound scary, but he always has methods to make himself scary as heck…" he said, shivering at the end.
"Yes. But of course, I can't tell you guys what it is." Lucy said, making everyone groan sans Rita groan and Lawrence smirk.
Lawrence then turned back to Lucy. "Don't worry Lucy, I'll hurry back. We'll have that scare."
Lucy smiled. "Thanks, Lawrence."
He nodded then turned to the others.
"All I'll hint about my costume, is that it's scary. And it's something that's supposedly child friendly." Lawrence said, making a demonic smile before going upstairs.
Lori shivered. "That smile's going to give me nightmares…"
The sun was now setting. Lisa checked the time on her protractor. She then went out of her room.
"Seven minutes till sunset!" she squealed, before getting into the rest of her kangaroo costume and hopping into the hallway. "Siblings, assemble!" she called. It's almost time for the annual ritual of deception versus confection; street name, trick or treating!"
The younger twins then came out of their room in their costumes, with Lana being Abraham Lincoln and Lola being the Statue of Liberty.
"Four score and seven pieces of candy ago."
"Give me your tired, your poor, your delicious treats yearning to be in my tummy!"
"Hmm...patriotic, but unlikely to generate maximum candy confection." Lisa said.
Lola then smirked. "Oh, yeah?" she then tore off her Lady Liberty costume while Lana tore off her Honest Abe one, both revealing new costumes. "We're also a mermaid and a pirate."
They then tore off the sea costumes to reveal the seasoning ones.
"And salt and pepper shakers." Lana said.
"This way we can hit each house three times."
"That means three times the candy."
"Yes. I am familiar with basic multiplication," Lisa said. "Your strategy is cute, but mine is far superior."
"Going as a kangaroo?" Lana scoffed. "I doubt it."
"Kangaroo, plus baby roo." She then revealed Lily who was dressed as her joey, causing the twins to gasp over the adorable sight.
Lisa smirked. "That aw factor will increase my candy revenue exponentially. And the best part is, she only has one tooth, so I don't have to share."
Lola then broke out of the cuteness trance before snapping Lana out of hers.
She then went over to Lincoln's door. "Lincoln! Clyde! Get your butts out here!"
The boys then opened the door to reveal to their dresses of... British masters.
"I thought you guys were going as Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack." said a confused Lola.
"Uh, we are," said Lincoln. "we're Ace and Jack undercover , trying to crack the cause of the missing crumpets."
"Boy, you guys really don't want candy, do you?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, you're right. We probably won't get much this year." Lincoln said before he and Clyde snickered slightly.
"Alright, let's get some candy! Has anyone seen Lawrence?" Lana asked.
As Lana asked that, Lawrence's door creaked slightly open.
Everyone turned to the door. "There you are, Lawrence!" Lola said. "Ready to go?"
No answer.
Everyone looked at each other confused.
"Lawrence?"
As Lincoln said that, the door opened fully. What everyone saw widened their eyes in fear.
Standing in Lawrence's room, holding a red balloon…
...was a clown, with scary make-up.
It stared at the terrified kids, before flashing a demonic smile.
Clyde's nose then started bleeding, and he fainted.
The clown then started laughing, confusing everyone.
"Oh man, those reactions! Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone looked at It with wide eyes, only this time, with surprise, Lola's with annoyance.
"Lawrence?!"
Lola then rushed over to Lawrence and started hitting his chest angrily.
"You stupid idiot! Don't scare us like that!" Lola said, looking up at a cheeky grinned clown Lawrence in annoyance.
"Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist!" Lawrence said, chuckling.
Clyde then woke up. "Wuh… what happened?" Luckily, his clothes were clean.
Lincoln looked at Clyde. "It's alright Clyde, it was just Lawrence."
Clyde looked at Lawrence in surprise. "Wow, Lawrence… you look terrifying."
Lawrence smiled. "Thanks, Clyde! Hopefully I haunt someone's dreams!" he said, before the demonic smile.
Lincoln shivered. "You've already haunted mine…" he murmured.
Everyone headed downstairs as Lynn Sr. came out of his and Rita's room.
"Thanks for taking the kids trick or…" his eyes widened when he saw Lawrence in his costume. "...treating…" he then fainted.
Rita came out of the room to see an unconscious Lynn Sr. When she saw Lawrence, she jumped slightly.
"Oh, Lawrence! You scared me." Rita said, before looking down at Lynn Sr. "And your father too."
Lawrence shrugged. "Well, mission accomplished."
Rita looked at Lawrence in surprise. "Wow, you look really scary as Pennywise."
Lawrence gasped. "You've seen It too?!" he asked, tears of happiness threatening to flow out of his eyes.
Rita rolled her eyes. "You don't think you inherited your love for horror from your father, did you?"
"Fortunately…" Lynn Sr. whined out in a whisper.
"Ha ha, guess not. Anyways…" Lawrence turned to the kids and made his signature demonic smile.
"Ready to float, kids?"
Clyde fainted again.
"You're going to give me nightmares…" Lincoln said. Lawrence chuckled.
As everyone got outside, the kids plus Lawrence started chanting candy. Lincoln and Clyde then prepared to break away from the group.
Lola, however, saw what they were up to.
"Hey, where are you two going?" she asked suspiciously.
"We, uh, just decided to go through the neighborhood counterclockwise this year." he said, before grinning nervously along with Clyde.
"Seems like an odd, pointless choice. Much like your costumes." Lisa said.
"Eh, let 'em be, Lis." Lawrence shrugged, before waving to Lincoln and Clyde. "Have fun boys."
They then parted.
"So kids, what's our first destination?" Lawrence asked.
"Ah, here we are," Lisa said, stopping, everyone following. "1220."
Lola and Lana were the first to go up to the door, switching outfits three times before coming back to Lisa and Lawrence.
"And that is how it's done. One house, six pieces of candy." Lana said, before she and Lola high-fived.
Lisa then went up to the door, and, thanks to Lily, came back with tons of candy.
"Ha. One house, eighty-seven pieces of candy." she said, smugly.
"Nice job, Lisa." Lawrence said, before he and Lisa low-fived. Well, Lawrence had his hand down and Lisa slapped it, eh, you get the point.
After trick-or-treating for around twenty minutes, Lawrence terrifying everyone he saw, they went back to the Loud house…
...only to see everything in a complete mess!
Lawrence then saw two boys with baby masks leave the now trashed corn maze, laughing smugly.
His anger then went up.
"HEY!" Lawrence shouted loudly, alerting the two jerks and causing them to start running.
Lawrence then ran after them, the kids following to make sure he doesn't murder them (literally). He then picked up a rock and threw it, it flew until it landed on the black-haired boy's head, causing him to fall over.
Lawrence then sprinted full speed at the boys before either of them could run, then quickly picked them up by the shirts.
"DID YOU TWO DO THIS?!" Lawrence roared at the terrified boys.
Everyone else then caught up to Lawrence and had to pry him off the two boys. He tried so hard to break out of the Loud girls' grasps, but with ten against one, that was easier said than done.
The boys then saw this opportunity to bail.
"WHEN I FIND YOU TWO, YOU ARE DEAD!" Lawrence roared.
"Let it go, Lawrence!" Luna shouted.
Lawrence then stopped, then started breathing heavily from the aftermath of the anger rush.
It was at that moment Lincoln and Clyde showed up, dressed up as Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack.
"Guys, what's going on? Why are the streets deserted, and why are you taking down your maze?" Lincoln asked.
"I was just about to ask that, actually." Lawrence said, before turning to Lucy. "What did happen?"
"Nobody showed up. All my work for nothing. Not a single scream." Lucy said.
"Nobody showed up? Why not?" Clyde asked.
"Because two big stinkers came along and literally ruined everything!" Lori exclaimed.
"They TP'd all the trees and smashed all the jack-o-lanterns." Luan said.
"And worst of all, they ruined the maze! Decorations and, like, everything!" Leni said.
"Two big stinkers? Uh oh." Lincoln thought out loud.
Unfortunately for Lincoln, Lawrence heard what he said, loud and clear.
He darted his head towards his brother. "Uh oh? What do you mean, uh oh?" he said, getting everyone's attention.
Lincoln and Clyde started sweating.
"Uh, we don't know anything about those two!" Lincoln said, grinning sheepishly.
"Hmm…" Lawrence stared at Lincoln intimidatingly. Lincoln was sweating bullets now.
'Please don't ask, please don't ask, please don't ask…' Lincoln thought, worried.
"Alright." he then turned his towards… "Clyde?"
Clyde started sweating even more than Lincoln did. Everyone knew Lawrence could be terrifying, and the fact that he was dressed as Pennywise the dancing clown didn't help.
"Uhh…"
"Clyde?"
Clyde was silent.
'Don't blurt it-'
"We told those two stinkers that a haunted corn maze and candy was waiting for them at Franklin Avenue so they'd leave us alone!" Clyde blurted out, making Lincoln facepalm.
'-out. Darn it Clyde, now Lawrence is gonna kill us…'
Lawrence's eyes widened.
"It was you two?!" Lawrence shouted.
"We didn't mean to, Lawrence! We didn't know they'd ruin everything!" Lincoln shouted desperately.
"That's what everyone says when they make mistakes, but it doesn't change a damn thing!" Lawrence shouted, making the boys bow their heads in shame.
Lawrence sighed. "Listen, we can still fix this."
Lincoln and Clyde perked their heads up.
The three boys, still in their costumes, were now in the woods. They ended up finding a candy trail and followed it which led them out of the street and to a tree house in the woods, where smug laughter could be heard.
It turned out that the stinkers had also stolen candy from kids around the block.
"I don't know which is worse, the stealing or the littering?" Clyde said.
"Both, Clyde. Both." Lawrence said.
"We need a plan…" Lincoln's eyes then lit up. "I know! We train some squirrels to go in and attack them. While they're busy getting rabies, we grab the candy."
"I like the wildlife approach, but I was thinking we get a beaver to chew down the tree." Clyde said.
"Or we hypnotize those guys so they fall asleep."
"Or, building off of that, I put them to sleep by playing the lullabies my dads put on my phone." Clyde took out his phone. "Of course, I'd have to put in earplugs so I don't fall asleep."
Lawrence rolled his eyes at the boys' plans. Then he heard groaning.
"Ugh. I ate too much candy."
"Aw, you'd better not puke, 'cause that'll make me puke."
"I think I'm just gonna pass out."
"Aw, dude, if you pass out, then I'll-"
Lawrence then heard a thud, which made him smirk.
"I have a plan." Lawrence said.
"WHAT?!"
Lincoln and Lawrence then shushed Clyde, the latter taking out his earplugs.
"Sorry, I had my earplugs in."
Lawrence rolled his eyes then took out his phone and dialed a number.
"You rang?"
"Lucy, how'd you like to have your corn maze reopened?"
From the other side of the line, Lucy smiled.
Lawrence's plan, dubbed Operation: Halloween Rescue, went as follows:
First, Lincoln and Clyde would lure out the stinkers, with their British master costumes, with bags of leaves made to look like bags of candy.
Meanwhile, everyone would quickly fix up Franklin Avenue and the corn maze, and Lawrence would hurry back to help.
Then, after the stinkers give chase to Lincoln and Clyde, they'd lure him to the corn maze to give them a good scare and let them know not to mess with the Louds.
At the Loud house, Lawrence and the others were finishing everything up, ready to terrify the stinkers.
"Okay, everybody remember their positions?" Lawrence called out.
Everyone nodded and said yes.
"Places everyone," Lucy said. "They're here."
Everyone then hurried to their places in the corn maze, whilst Lincoln and Clyde hid in the maze.
The two stinkers then entered the maze.
"It's really dark in here." the brown haired stinker said, a little scared.
"Man up, bro! I want that candy." The lights then went out. "What's that?"
Luna then began playing on the organ.
When darkness falls on the house of Loud
Around every corner, new terror abounds
You don't want to lose your head! Ha ha ha!
(The stinkers scream and start running. First they run into Luan, who brings Mr Coconuts to life)
You can run, but you can't hide
They know that you taste better alive
I don't think that they've been fed
In a long, long time
(They then run into Lisa and Lily, who act as rabid kangaroos)
Every corner, every floor
Watch out, they ain't herbivores
Ghastly ghouls out for blood
Sorry, bud
You got tricked
You got tricked
(They then get a glimpse of Lawrence standing in a corner, holding a red balloon, smirking evilly. They run again)
You got punked and pranked with a spooky twist
Before you wet your pants, better get out quick
Tricked, tricked, tricked
You got...tricked
(Afterwards they run into Lori, who acts like she's feasting on Rita. Lynn then fires up her chainsaw)
Beware of fangs and bloody fur
A Loud House chainsaw massacre
There's no chance that you'll get out
(Next they run into a coffin, where Lola appears like a corpse and Lana acts as her ghost. Leni then appears with a missing head)
Ghosts writing your eulogy
Heads are rolling literally
So, who needs their mommy now?
(The stinkers' screams alert the kids around the neighborhood)
Spilling guts on the floor
Clean up on aisle four
Why you running off so soon?
Sorry dude
You got tricked
You got tricked
You got punked and pranked with a spooky twist
Before you wet your pants, better get out quick
Tricked, tricked, tricked
You got… tricked
(Finally, they run into Lucy who is dressed as the grim reaper)
"The crimes you have committed this night shan't go unpunished. You reap what you sow." Lucy said ominously, before slashing a rope with her scythe, dumping a bucket of fake blood on them, making them scream.
"Blood!"
"I'm gonna puke!"
"If you're gonna puke, I'm gonna puke!"
(As they run out screaming, Lucy gives a small smile of satisfaction. They're then stopped by Lawrence, who pins them to the maze walls)
You got… tricked
Lawrence smiled at them demonically. Everyone then came out of the maze to see what was happening.
"You almost ruined everything around here, when my sister put so much work into all this, you had to come and mess everything up…" he started with a clown-like voice.
"...and now you're going to pay."
Surprising and shocking not only the stinkers but everyone else as well (sans Lisa, who looked on with a smug smile, and Lucy, who looked in wonder), Lawrence's eyes then rolled back, and he opened his mouth widely to reveal hundreds of razor-sharp teeth.
Everyone was terrified at the sight, but nothing could come close to how scared the stinkers were.
Lawrence then bit down on the black-haired boy's right shoulder, causing everyone to scream…
...but nothing happened. No blood, no pain, nothing.
Lawrence then let go of the stinkers, and began laughing like a maniac.
"We're never coming back here again!" they then ran off.
Everyone then cheered at the major success.
"That was awesome!"
"That was so awesome!"
"Thanks, guys," Lincoln said. "I think we taught those two big stinkers a lesson."
"They won't ever come back here again," said a satisfied Lawrence, who still had his back turned to everyone.
"But if they will…" Lawrence then looked over his shoulder with his signature smile that showed off his razor-sharp teeth.
Clyde then fainted again, everyone else (sans Lucy and Lisa) just shivered.
"How did you do that big teeth smile?" Lori asked.
Lawrence smirked. "I had some help with Lisa on that one." Lisa smiled with pride.
"Thank you for bringing them here," Lucy said. "You totally made my Halloween. I've never been happier."
Once again, her emotions barely changed.
"Trust me, she's happy." Lincoln meta-referenced. He then turned to Lucy. "Hopefully, next year, your maze will have more than two customers."
"Looks like we won't have to wait till next year."
Rita was right, it turned out that every kid in the neighborhood showed up to check out the maze.
Lucy then got out her megaphone. "Places, everyone."
The girls then went back into the maze.
"Nice job boys," Lawrence said to Lincoln and Clyde (who had just woken up), "You both saved Halloween." he then went back into the maze, ready to scare some people.
"I guess we did save Halloween, Clyde," Lincoln said. "But too bad nobody got any candy."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Clyde asked. Lincoln's eyes then lit up.
"Let's go get our shovels!"
In the aftermath of the Corn Maze Incident, as Lawrence dubbed it, everyone was having fun in the maze, while Lincoln and Clyde were giving everyone back their candies.
Lawrence then came out of the maze with a satisfied smirk, Rita following.
"Nice job with your costume this year, Lawrence." she said.
"Thanks mom. I just wished dad would not just look at it as scary, but as an actual costume." Lawrence said.
"You know how he is. He's never liked horror. And between you and me, he was most scared of It."
Lawrence smirked. "So, mission accomplished. I wonder how I can perform scares next year?"
Rita sighed and rolled her eyes. "Give it a break, Lawrence."
"Oh come on, just one jump scare on dad? Please?"
"Lawrence Benedict Loud."
Lawrence rolled his eyes. "Fine…"
And there you have it, the (late) Halloween special!
Sorry I'm late guys. Recently, I haven't been having inspiration for Loud House stories. Instead, I've been brainstorming an idea consisting of writing a Miraculous - Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir fanfic, where I'd star my other OC, Adam. An OC insert story, if you will.
And as you can read on my profile, I have a big idea for a Loud House story starring Lawrence and Adam, which would be set in the future (Lawrence and Lori graduating), and afterwards, the boys get lucky and become famous! Why? If the idea interests you guys, drop me a review and you'll see when the story arrives!
A'ight, that's all I can write for now. Thanks for sticking around, guys. My name is Adam, or Starshine89, and I'll talk to you all later. See you soon, guys!
