This story takes place sometime between Season 3 and Season 4.
The sun was beaming down brightly one Friday afternoon in Royal Woods, Michigan. It was lunchtime at Royal Woods High School. Usually, the 4 Loud sisters: Leni, Lori, Luan and Luna would sit together at the same table, but today, Lori was sitting with her friend, Joey. Meanwhile, Luna's friend- Sam- wanted to get some more alone time with Luna, but was really nervous. She went into the hallway after finishing her lunch to be alone. Sam was really anxious.
She started singing something to calm down.
What to do with me?
What to do with me?
How to be with the friend you love if you're too scared to see?
Should I go try again or walk away?
What words do I even say?
I really want her to stick with me like peanut butter and jelly
But how when I'm too nervous and too socially anxious?
She sang the same lines a second time before hearing guitar music. She turned the corner to see who it was.
"Hi," she said. "I'm Sam. I like your guitar."
"Thanks," the guitarist said.
She was 16 years old.
"I'm Phoebe. Nice to meet you. I like your singing."
Sam thanked her. "I was singing about my social anxiety disorder."
"Really?" Phoebe asked. "My cousin and I are coping with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder."
Sam then said, "you know, some people are saying a friend of mine has mental health issues like us."
Phoebe commented. "I would love to meet that friend."
Sam agreed to it.
After lunch, Sam took Phoebe with her to introduce one of her friends.
When she found one of them, Sam introduced Phoebe to him.
The unnamed friend said, "you remind me of Phoebe from that show, Friends."
"I hear that's a really cool show," Phoebe commented.
Sam's unnamed friend said to her, "hey Sam. I ran into Luna during lunch. She wants to know if you wanna come over to her house after school."
Sam answered, "I would love to. I can introduce my new friend, Phoebe to her."
Sam's unnamed friend commented, "wonderful. I'll let Luna know you're coming."
That friend of Sam's said goodbye to her and Phoebe before strolling off to tell Luna.
"Okay see ya," Sam said to that friend.
"How come you never asked that friend of yours for its name?" Phoebe asked.
Sam told Phoebe she didn't know.
That was when Jackie came over.
"Hey Sam," she said.
"Hey Jackie," Sam said. "This is Phoebe. She uses her guitar to relieve her from this P-T-S-D thing she has."
"Nice to meet you," Jackie said. "I thought you had social anxiety disorder."
Sam commented, "no, that's me. I just didn't know how to tell Luna. I get really nervous."
Jackie replied, "I think you should tell her. She is your love life, so I'm pretty sure she will understand."
"But she does not have any real metal health issues like me and Phoebe does," Sam said. "From what I heard, Leni and Lucy, maybe."
Phoebe then said to Sam, "as much as I want to agree with you, Jackie's right. Luna needs to know."
Sam sighed before saying, "okay."
"That's the spirit," Jackie said.
Both Jackie and Phoebe gave Sam a hug.
By the time school ended, Sam and Phoebe caught up with Leni and Luna.
"Hey Sam," Luna said.
"Hey Luna, hey Leni" Sam said. "This is Phoebe. Phoebe, this is my friend, Luna and her sister, Leni."
Phoebe commented, "oh yeah. I heard of the 2 of you. Let's see, you, Luna, love to rock out, while you, Leni, is into slow jams."
"That's like so right," Leni said. "I totes heard you and Sam are coming over for a while."
Phoebe commented, "yeah. Both me and Sam. Another one of her friends told us that you were gonna ask about that, and we said yes."
Sam then said, "and when we arrive, there's something Phoebe and I have to tell you, but you might not like it."
Leni and Luna were confused on what they wanted to say.
At The Loud House, the 4 girls went up to Luna's room. Sam was the last one to enter, so she closed the door behind them.
"Okay", she said. "Since you 2 are my friends, I have a feeling you can trust us."
"Wait," Phoebe said. "Who's going first?"
The 2 ladies played rock-paper-scissors to decide.
Since Sam won, she went first with what she wanted to tell Leni and Luna.
