Declaimer copyright I don't own Loud House.
The story begins with a outside view of the Loud House at Nighttime.
Jonathan yelled from the kitchen, "Dinner's ready! Come and get it!"
The sisters quickly rush out of their rooms, and excitedly head downstairs. As they head down the stairs, the frame suddenly freezes. Lincoln appears.
Lincoln looks to the readers, "Yeah, so this never happens. Jonathan took over the cooking since...dad left and he's not a bad cook, but his repertoire is kind of limited." Lincoln enters his room and pulls down a calendar. As he lists off the dishes mentioned, said dish appears on the calendar and head to their respective date., "You've got Salisbury Steak Sundays, Meatball Mondays, Turkey Loaf Tuesdays, Wienerschnitzel Wednesdays, Goulash Thursdays, Fish Fry Fridays, and Succotash Saturdays." The seven mentioned dishes then cover every week on the calendar, "Then it all repeats, week, after week, after week. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go choke down some..."
Cut to a rather sloppily made dish Jonathan dusts his hands, "...wienerschnitzel. Not to brag, but this tastes exactly like last Wednesday's, and I've got this recipe down pat!" Jonathan heads back into the kitchen.
Lincoln pulls out a coin attached to a string and begins swinging it side to side in front of his face.
Lola looks towards him, "What are you doing?"
Lincoln continues to swing the coin, "Self hypnosis. Maybe it can make myself believe the wienerschnitzel tastes like ice cream."
Lola trying to steal Lincoln's coin, "Oh, I want ice cream! Move!"
Lincoln struggling to get his coin back, "Come up with your own coping mechanism!"
As Lincoln and Lola fight for the coin, they accidentally knock the wienerschnitzel off the table. As it begins hurling towards the floor, Jonathan notices it falling and dives towards it to catch it, "No! No, no, no, no, no!" The siblings look at bag wear teen, who has just saved the wienerschnitzel in time, "Whew! That was close. I almost had to order us pizza. Ha ha."
Jonathan leaves the scene. As the sisters sit back down, Lincoln suddenly has a realization.
In the bathroom, the sisters are getting ready for bed.
Leni looks around, "You guys, I need an outfit for dinner tomorrow." She holds up a purple dress, "Does this print go with goulash?"
Lincoln comes in, "It doesn't matter, 'cause we're not having goulash tomorrow."
Lori gave a deadpan look, "Yes we are, Lincoln. We have it every Thursday, and there's literally nothing we can do about it."
Lucy sighs, "She's right. It's all in my poem." She takes out poem, "Hunger. The same seven meals. How do you cope? The only plan is to give up hope. Hunger."
The other sisters agree.
"So true." Leni said.
"Say it, sister!" Luan yelled.
"Wise words." Lisa said.
Lincoln shook his head, "Fine. I guess no one wants...pizza~."
The sisters gasp and Lana pops out of the back of the toilet in scuba gear, "Did someone say "pizza"?"
Lincoln nods, "When the schnitzel fell off the table, Snack Pack said he almost had to order pizza. So, if we sabotage tomorrow's dinner, that's what we'll get. Now, huddle up." Lana hops out of the toilet which disgusts him., "Lana, why don't you rinse off first?"
The next day, Jonathan comes home from the supermarket with groceries, Jonathan singing, " I just came back from the grocery store, gonna get my goulash on / Noodles, tomatoes, meat galore, gonna get my goulash- "
Lincoln feigning curiosit,] "Hey, Jon! There's something I've always wondered about. Why do you make goulash on Thursdays?"
Jonathan nervously laughs "Oh, well. It's kind of a long story. You see your dad's job was paying a lot for the house in fact half of what he earned went-" While he's not looking, Lisa uses a drone to grab the meat and Lana uses her fishing rod to snatch the noodles. "There's also a little thing called having a budget which this family has a stuff time doing, I mean we used to fight over change." Lynn swoops in and grabs the tomatoes and Luna cuts a hole in the bag to drop an onion and put it in Lily's diaper. "And honestly If Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan and Lisa just gave 30% of their earnings to your mom for the bills we be more stable."
Lincoln seeing his sisters having done their parts, "You're right. That is a long story. Gotta go!" He leaves.
Jonathan reaches for the boy, "But, wait, I didn't tell you why I make goulash on Thursdays?!"
Inside the breadbox, a fake bread camera is filming Jonathan actions and the Loud Kids check it out via laptop in Lori and Leni's room.
Lincoln smiled, "Good work, team! If my calculations are correct, Dad should be ordering pizza in..." He checks his watch, "...T minus 15 seconds."
Jonathan checks his groceries only to find an orange inside.
Jonathan looks confused, "An orange? Where's all my goulash stuff? I know I bought it, 'cause I was singing about it! Dang it!" He sighs, "I guess I'll have to..."
Lincoln excitedly counts down, "Three, two, one."
Jonathan claps his hands, "...go back to the store!"
Sisters look disappointed, "Aw..."
Lisa lifts a bottle of chloroform, "I knew I should've chloroformed him. Unconscious people can't make goulash."
Lana holding up the rivets to Vanzilla's steering wheel, "Don't worry. Johnny not going anywhere."
The steering wheel comes off, "Gah! Well, my horoscope did say expect the unexpected today." He goes back inside, "Bad news, guys. I gotta put the kibosh on tonight's goulash."
The others feigning disappointment, "Aw..."
"What a shame." Luan said.
"Too bad." Lynn said.
"I need to take a moment." Lori said.
Jonathan reaches into his satchel for something, "But fortunately, I got a backup plan."
Lola starts walking away, "I'll get the phone, Johnny!"
Jonathan pulls out the fake bread camera, "I can make some sandwiches." He glares at the others.
Lincoln realizes they been caught, "Dang it."
Jonathan crosses his arms, "Does anyone have anything to say?"
Lincoln decided to come clean, "We did it, Jon. We sabotaged dinner so you'd order us pizza." Jonathan gasped, "We're really sorry. But eating the same dinners over and over again was driving us crazy."
Jonathan gives a unamused look, "Well sorry about the same meals, but you guys have no idea how hard it is to cook seven nutritious meals a week for 13 different people on a budget. I'd say I do a pretty great job."
The Loud siblings lower there heads in shame.
Jonathan then reaches into his bag, "However I should take some blame too." The Loud siblings give a confused look, "I really don't ask you guys what you want to eat so for now on let me hear your ideas and starting tomorrow we could make something for dinner as a family and starts mixing up the meals."
The Loud sibling get excited, "Really?!"
Jonathan nods,"Yep. In fact, I'm going to the store right now to get some new ingredients."
He heads to his car and the kids cheer to finally having some new dinners, but the car crashes out of view.
Lana smiles nervously, "Oops. Heh, heh." She holds up the brake pads, "Forgot I took the brake pads off his car too." She continues to smiles nervously.
The Loud siblings glare at Lana and but Lola rushes to the front door, "So can we get Pizza tonight?!"
Jonathan rolls out of his car in pain, "Fine go ahead."
The Loud siblings smile and it cuts to the them placing three boxes of pizza on the table.
Lincoln takes a bite and they all cheer, "Yes! Pizza!"
Lucy revising her poem, "Hunger. Goulash again? That's a nope. A bite of pizza; it tastes like hope. Dinner." She sheds a pizza slice shaped teardrop of happiness
The next night, the kids are getting ready to make dinner and Lincoln takes out some bread and cheese, "Alright, who's ready for grilled cheese these really change the hearts and mind."
Lola puts her hands on her hip, "Grilled cheese? I wanna make a cake!"
Lori starts to rub her face, "I can't eat cake for dinner. I'll literally break out!"
Luna drums on some pots and pans, "Let's make shepherd's pie! It's Mick Swagger's favorite, dudes.
Leni raises her hand, "You guys, I got it. Let's make goulash!"
Lincoln faceplams, "We did all this so we wouldn't have to eat goulash!"
Leni frowns sadly, "And now I miss it."
Lisa fixed her glasses, "Might I suggest something more sophisticated? Perhaps a vichyssoise?"
Lynn makes a buzzer sound, "We need body fuel. I'll blend us up some protein shakes."
Lola blows a raspberry, "Your brain's been blended if you think I'm drinking that barf."
Lana gets excited, "Wait! We can drink barf?"
The kids all start arguing over what to make.
"Grilled cheese beats all!" Lincoln yelled.
"Protein shake!" Lynn yelled.
"Cake!" Lola yelled.
Jonathan bangs a pan and spoon together to get their attention, "Guys, guys, stop! We'll do a potluck. Everyone will make their own dish."
Lori nods in agreement, "Great idea. Then we'll have nothing to fight about."
Cut to them all making a mess in the kitchen. Lucy and Lana are fighting over an egg.
"It's mine! I need it for my scrambly eggs!" Lana yelled.
"Well, I need it for my deviled eggs." Lucy said.
Their force causes the egg to break and the yolk lands on Lily's head.
"Mind if I poach that?" Luan jokes then laughs and scoops the yolk up in a bowl, "Get it?" She added.
Lily laughs at the joke. Luan goes over to the counter and the blender spews Lynn's protein shake all over Luan's face, causing her to trip onto Lincoln with his grilled cheese. Lori then trips over them, slips on the fridge, and gets buried by its contents.
Lori weakly, "Literally?"
Leni tries using the microwave, but it short-circuits and sets off the smoke detector and Luna grabs a linen to blow the smoke away from it, but the linen was holding up the pot with Lisa's vichyssoise which spills over.
"MY VICHYSSOISE!" Lisa yelled.
As Luna fails to blow the smoke away, Lynn smacks the detector away with her lacrosse net, but the detector crashes into Lola's cake.
Lola gasps with a face full of frosting, "MY CAKE!" Enraged, Lola attacks Lynn and Luna and the fight cloud carries over to the rest of the kids in the kitchen. Jonathan comes back into the kitchen,"Guys? Everything okay in h-h-here?"
The Loud Siblings stop fighting and smile nervously.
Jonathan laughs nervously, "Good thing I'm good at improvising. So do you want for dinner?" Jonathan started to look around the messy kitchen.
"Potatoes!" Lisa yelled.
"Quinoa!" Lori yelled.
"Turkey!" Luan yelled.
"Chicken." Lucy said in monotone.
"Meatloaf!" Luna yelled.
"Protein Shake!" Lynn yelled.
"Frosting!" Lola yelled.
"Cereal!" Lincoln yelled.
"Goulash!" Leni yelled.
"Barf!" Lana yelled.
Jonathan started wide eyed and shook his head, "Let's see what we can do."
After a hour of remixing the food that was left in the kitchen's mess Dinner was ready.
Rita looked amazed, "Wow. You made, uh..."
The dish is a bizarre mixture of different foods they combined into one meal.
Jonathan places the meal on the table, "First on our menu we are have Goulash with chicken in it and a small side bowl of Quinoa on the side, next we having a turkey meatloaf with french fries on the side, to wash that down were having a low fat shake with Zombie mixed bits mixed into it and finally for dessert we are having a dirt cup dessert."
Lincoln clapped his hands together, "Well, bon appétit!"
They all nervously take a spoonful of the Goulash and take a bite out of it.
Rita go wide eyed and smiles, obviously liking it, "Honey, this is delicious."
The Loud kids agree.
"Amazing!" Lola yelled.
"So good!" Leni yelled.
Lincoln nods then frowns, "Snack Pack, we're sorry. You were right. Cooking for this many people is a nightmare. We'll never complain about your food again."
His sisters all agree.
"We promise." Lana said.
"We didn't mean it." Luan said.
Lola smiles innocently, "I'm not keeping that promise."
Jonathan smiles, "Thank you mostly everybody." He looks to Lola who sticks her tongue out, "But you guys help too If I didn't take your suggests you guys wouldn't be eating this tonight so thank yourselves too."
The family cheers then eats their meal. After finishing dessert they wipe their faces and Lola burps loudly, "So what's next second dessert?"
Jonathan shook his head no, "Noooo next is- He shows the mess in the kitchen and the dirty dishes, -Cleaning up afterword." He hands everyone one a piece of clean equipment.
The Loud siblings looked disappointed. Lincoln turns to the readers, "Well cleaning never fun, but aleast we get to pick our on meals for now on."
Jonathan crossed his arms, "And just for the record since you guys wasted alot of my food you guys aren't get custom meals until next month."
Lincoln looks to the readers, "Well at least we'll get them in the future. The Louds clean the messy kitchen while Jonathan watches them.
