Based on the Regular Show episode The Best VHS in the world.

Enjoy.

Lincoln and Clyde are at the video rental store. "Hey, if it isn't Clincoln McCloud!" The employee greets. "Let me guess, another retro movie fest I see?"

"Yep," Lincoln answered.

"In that case, let's see your membership card if you please." The man scans the card, but the computer starts making a weird beeping noise. "Huh, it looks like you guys have a video that's overdue. 'The best DVD in the world', out for two months?"

"The best DVD in the world?"

A flashback shows Lincoln and Clyde at Lincoln's house watching the video. However, Lincoln is not amused.

"Clyde, this movie stinks. Take it out." Clyde goes over to the player and takes out the DVD. "Why'd you even pick this one anyway?"

"Because it's called the best DVD in the world. Plus the cover is made out of gold plastic."

"Well they should definitely rename it the most misleading video in the world."

Clyde then put the disc back in the case and then tossed it over his shoulder.

End of flashback.

"Well I'm afraid you guys are gonna have to return the video and pay a late fee."

"But we can't afford a late fee!" Clyde said.

"Yeah!" Lincoln adds. "And what if we can't find it?"

"Then you leave me no choice." The man took out a pair of scissors and threatened to snip the card in half.

"NO! DONT!"

"Why not?"

"All we have is a DVD player," Lincoln answered "and this is the only place left in Royal Woods that still rents discs!"

"Oh yeah," the man groaned. "All those other places being shut down because streaming."

"Look! I think I remember where it is! We can find it and bring it back! Please! Just give us a chance!"

"Alright! But only because you two appreciate such video formats. Get that DVD here ASAP and I won't cancel your membership. And as an added bonus, I'll even waver the fee."

"Thank you! You won't regret it!"

"I better not. Or you'll never rent another video in this store again!"

Back at the Loud house, the boys were searching the living room.

"Didn't you throw it over there?" Lincoln points to the wall with an air vent.

Unfortunately Clyde doesn't see it. "Nope, sorry."

"It's gotta be around here somewhere. Did you check the player?"

Clyde opens the DVD player, but still can't find it. "Nothing."

"Mom and dad must have put it in my room somewhere."

The boys went up to Lincoln's room, only to find that it's a filthy mess. Trash was lying around everywhere from the bed to the floor and the dresser was covered with scattered papers.

Clyde was shocked. "No wonder you can't find anything. This room is a mess."

"Do you see the DVD?"

"I think you'd be lucky if you could even see your bed."

"Maybe it's under this old pizza box." Lincoln lifted the box, only to find a belt with a faux fox tail on it. "Oh so there's my fake tail belt. But no DVD."

"I guess there's only one thing left to do."

"You don't mean?"

"Clean up."

"What? That'll take forever!"

"Come on, Lincoln. It can't be that bad. At most, it'll probably take an hour or two. That's more than you can say for Lana's room."

"I'd rather just pay the fee."

Clyde was about to argue back, but then realized, "actually, that's not a bad idea."

Lincoln makes a quick call and the phone starts ringing. "Broadway video."

"Yes hello? It's me Lincoln."

"Listen dude, the game is changed. I need that movie back by 9 o'clock. My manager's doing inventory after we close and he'll call the collections industry if he finds out it's missing."

"How much would it cost to just replace the video?"

"You're not gonna like it."

"Just tell me!"

"One thousand dollars."

"A THOUSAND DOLLARS?!"

"It's a rare out-of-print DVD! A piece of film history."

"Oh it's a piece all right, (a piece of junk)," Lincoln muttered.

"Just bring it back by tonight if you know what's good for you. I heard those guys break thumbs." With that, he hung up.

"Well, what is it?" Clyde asked. "What he say?"

"We either need to find the video, pay a thousand dollars or have our thumbs broken."

"What!?" Clyde starts hyperventilating and rummaging through the trash. "We don't have that kind of money! And I really enjoy my thumbs!"

"Clyde! Chill! How are we supposed to find it if you're just gonna panic and make an even bigger mess?"

Clyde starts to calm down. "You're right Lincoln. Looks like we're gonna have to do this the right way."

During a brief montage, Lincoln and Clyde start cleaning up the mess in the room. But even with all that, the disc is still nowhere to be found.

"Well that's it then," Lincoln sighed. "We've cleaned everything up and still nothing. And we only have a few hours left."

"Maybe somebody in the house borrowed it."

"Let's split up and ask everyone."

Downstairs, Lynn is downstairs arguing with Lori. "I'm not gonna ask you again, Lynn! Where's my phone charger?"

"Lori I told you! I don't know! Besides, I don't have time for this. I'm supposed to go play badminton with my friends and I can't find the balls or my racquet."

"Lynn, badminton doesn't have balls."

"What? I'm not playing a game with no balls in it!"

Lincoln came downstairs. "Guys! This is important! Did either of you borrow the best DVD in the world from me and Clyde?"

"What?" Lynn asked. "No way! That movie stinks like eggs."

"Besides, we've literally got better things to do than waste time watching silly movies," Lori answered.

"Ugh! Thanks for nothing." Lincoln ran off.

"You're welcome for nothing," Lynn taunted.

In the oldest sister's room, Leni is in her closet searching for something. "Now where did I put my winter hat?"

Just then Clyde came in. "Leni! Did you borrow the best DVD in the world?"

"DV-what?"

"Never mind."

Seconds later, Lincoln is asking Lana who is trying to fix the air vent. "Sorry bro. I haven't seen your dumb movie. I have my own problems. Like the extension cord for my drill I can't find, and this vent keeps making a weird rattling sound. I think we might have rats. If we find any, Bitey sure could use a playmate."

"Guys." Lucy pops up, scaring both of them. "Have either of you seen my notebook? I have some new ideas for my poems."

"Sorry Lucy," Lincoln says. "But have you seen the best DVD in the world?"

"No. That movie was terrible."

Just then the rest of the other girls came in. "Dudes, I think we might have a thief in our house," Luna said.

"So wait!" Lincoln interjected. "All of you guys are missing something?"

"Apparently," Lana confirms. "Clearly someone's been taking our things. Lori's phone charger, Leni's winter hat, Luan's microphone, Luna's bass amp, Lucy's notebook, Lynn's badminton racquet, my extension cord, Lola's tiaras, Lisa's magnifying glass, even Lily's blanket. What kind of sick individual would take this stuff?"

"Okay, obviously it can't be any of us since we're all missing something. So we'll just have to keep an eye out. How about this? You guys let me know if you find the best DVD in the world and I'll let you guys know if I find any of your stuff. Deal?"

"Deal."

Lincoln went back into his room with Clyde, but it appears to be in a bigger mess than it was before. "Aw what?!"

"How can this be?" His best friend asks. "We weren't even here!"

"Great! Just great! Now we have to clean it all up again! This is all your fault, Clyde!"

"What?! How is it my fault!?"

"It was your idea to rent the best DVD in the world!"

The two boys then heard something in the air vent in the ceiling. The vent opened up and out popped a little dwarf with a fanny pack. "Did you say 'the best DVD in the world'?"

"Yeah?"

The dwarf pulls the video out from the fanny pack. "That's my favorite movie."

"Dude! That's ours! We need it back!"

"Well you're not getting it!"

"Give it back!"

"No!" The dwarf escapes into the air vent and the boys go in after him. The duo follow him through the ventilations. Meanwhile, Lana is in the basement when she hears the rattling in the system.

"I'm gonna need a bigger cage."

The boys continue to follow until they both end up in a secret cave under the Loud House, where they find a lot of the things the Louds were looking for.

"Hey, that looks like Lynn's badminton racquet!" Clyde spotted.

"And that's Leni's winter hat!" Lincoln confirms.

Just then they spotted a television with DVD cover on top. They opened it only to find out that it's completely empty. "It's not in there!"

"Where is it?"

The two best friends then hear lightning sounds followed by a voice echoing. "Get out of my lair!"

"Show yourself!" Lincoln demands.

"Yeah! Give us back the video!"

"NEVER! I'll never give you the best DVD in the world! It's my favorite!"

"It's not even yours! Give it back!"

"You don't deserve it! I saw you throw it away!"

"That's only because it's awful!" Lincoln clarifies.

"We still want it back!"

"Make me!" The room turns pitch black. Moments later, a desk lamp turned on revealing a handmade book held together with staples sitting on a desk (which also happened to be right next to Lucy's notebook). "See? I'm a published author, and I think it's amazing!"

"Dude, you just stapled this together yourself."

"Nobody's gonna read that."

"For gaining readership!"

"Whatever," Lincoln groaned. "I bet this is the only copy."

"But look at the art I painted inspired by it." 3 lights came on revealing artwork on the wall (which looks like it was done by 2 year olds). "This is me and the best DVD in the world, this is me pointing at it, and here's one of what I think the Bahamas look like. What do you think of that?"

"Maybe consider taking some art classes?" Lincoln suggests.

"I don't care what you have to say! Art is quite difficult to perfect, you know! You can't just come into my lair and criticize me or my tastes! Now prepare to meet your….doom?"

Clyde had found a light switch nearby and turned it on. The light revealed the little dwarf wearing Lily's blanket as a cape and one of Lola's tiaras, talking into Luan's microphone while standing on Luna's bass amp being powered by Lana's extension cord.

"Luan's microphone? Luna's bass amp? Lana's extension cord?" Lincoln says with surprise. "So you're the one who's been taking all our stuff!"

"Yeah well…..so what if I have?"

"Just give it up pal! It's over!" Clyde stepped in. "Just give us back the disc!"

"No!"

"Look at yourself!" Lincoln intervened. "You're going crazy over a stupid video that's not even any good!"

"No! You're lying! It is good! This little disc is everything to me and if I can't have it, no one can!" A fire then started and the dwarf then attempted to throw it into it.

"No! If we don't return it, we'll lose our video store membership!"

The dwarf stopped for a second. "Video store?"

"Yep. It's a magical place filled with videos. And they're all better than that one."

"What? Haven't you read the title?"

"They just put that on a lame DVD to get people to rent it."

"Quiet! I won't let you guys trick me!"

"I know you really love that video. We love videos too. We've seen hundreds of them. And that's one of the worst."

"Then everything I know is a lie?"

"There's a whole world of DVDs out there for you to see. But you're never gonna get to see it if you don't keep an open mind. Haven't you ever wondered what it's like outside your cave?"

The dwarf then realized that Lincoln was right. "It's true. Sometimes I do wonder what the outside world is like."

"If you come with us, we'll show you. But first you gotta give us back the DVD, and you have to return all the stuff you stole from my sisters."

"Very well." The dwarf then looked at the disc in his possession. "Well old friend, we've had a good run, but now it's time for you to go back to where you came from. And don't you worry about old Percy McSwitcharoostein Packrat Esquire."

"So you're saying that you're full name is Percy McSwitcharoostein Packrat Esquire?"

"Uh-Huh."

The boys began to snicker at the mention of his full name.

Back in the kitchen, all the girls heard a rattling noise coming from the vent. They look up to the ceiling and see the ventilation door open. Out popped all the stuff they were looking for.

"Hey, my extension cord!" Lana shouts. "I've been looking everywhere for this!"

"And there's my base amp!"

"And my notebook!"

"Bwankie!"

Just then, Lincoln, Clyde and Percy fell out too.

"Lincoln! Clyde! You found your movie!"

"And I see you caught our thief as well," Lynn confronts Percy.

"Oh sorry." Lincoln introduces their new friend. "Everyone, this is Percy. He didn't mean to take your stuff. He's just a little lonely because he hasn't gotten to see the outside world for himself. And he just needed something to keep him entertained. Isn't that right, Percy?"

"Yes. I'm really sorry I took your stuff. I just hope you can forgive me."

"WHY YOU LOUSY LITTLE—!" Lola was about to tackle Percy, but Lana stopped her.

"Let it go, Lola."

"No worries dude," Luna said. "We forgive you."

"Yeah," Leni agrees. "We're just glad to have our stuff back."

"And thank you for finding them little bro," Lori said. "You too Clyde."

"I got a thank you from Lori!" Clyde thought to himself.

"No problem girls," Lincoln said. "Now if you'll excuse us, we have a very important appointment to make."

Back at the video store, the employee gave Lincoln and Clyde their membership card back. "Well Thanks for returning the video hombres. Here's your card back. And here's one for you." The man handed Percy a membership card with his name on it.

"What's this for?"

"It's a membership card," Lincoln answered. "With that, you can rent any video you want."

Percy didn't know what to say. He was so happy that he started roaming around the store, looking through the aisles before finally returning to the front counter.

"So what would you like to rent, Little Dude?"

"I would like the best DVD in the world."

And that's that.

Now I know what you're thinking. But don't worry, just a few more stories and then comes the Halloween one.
