In honor of April fools day, I decided to do my own story for the occasion. Of course this story will feature Luan, but it will also feature another prankster.

Who might this prankster be?

Let's find out


It was a beautiful morning in the Loud house and Lincoln was heading downstairs to breakfast.

Soon enough, Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa came downstairs as well.

"Morning Lincoln."

"Morning guys. You hungry?"

"You bet!" Lana said.

As Lincoln was getting breakfast, one of his older sisters, Luan, came into the kitchen. "Hey guys. You're all up early."

"I could say the same to you," said Lincoln. "Whatcha up to?"

"Can't a girl greet her favorite brother?"

"I'm your only brother."

"I know. That's why you're my favorite." She then noticed that Lincoln was trying to reach up the high shelf for something. "Here, let me help you with that."

Luan reaches up and hands Lincoln a box of Zombie Bran cereal.

Lincoln was a little confused. "Uh thanks. That's unusually nice of you."

"Don't mention it Bro."

However, when Lincoln opens the box.

BOING!

A bunch of springy snakes flew out everywhere.

"You sure you're not hungry for some POP cereal?" Luan laughs.

Lincoln was not amused. "Luan! What was that for?"

"Have you forgotten already? Tomorrow is April fools day. So I'm getting a headstart."

"Well I don't think it's very funny!"

"Oh lighten up bro. It's all in good fun."

Once Luan left, the other kids seemed pretty miffed.

"That Luan thinks she's so tricky," Lola criticizes.

"She certainly surprised me," Lucy said with a static face.

"Trust me, she's surprised," Lincoln assures. "Come on, let's just try to relax and have some breakfast."

"You're right, bro," Lana agrees. "A little food might calm our nerves."

So Lincoln took out some plates of eggs and set them down at the table. But something was off. When the kids tried to bite into their food, not only did it not taste like anything, but it was all stretchy and rubbery. Almost like it wasn't food at all.

"Hey! These eggs feel like rubber!" Lola complains.

"And they taste like rubber too!" Lana adds.

"That's because these are nothing more than hevea brasiliensis," Lisa declares. "Commonly referred to as rubber."

Then they all heard the sound of slow clapping. "Egg-celent observation, Lis."

It was Luan standing in the doorway.

"Luan!"

"Come on guys, can't you take a joke?"

"I'd rather take my breakfast than take one of your jokes," griped Lola.

"Yeah!" Lana agrees. "I wanted real food, not rubber!"

"Okay, Sheesh. No need to crack," Luan jokes. "Oh, and Lana? Your overall strap's undone."

"It is?"

Lana looks down only to find when she did, Luan flicks her finger up her face.

"Ow!"

"Made you look!"

Lana rubbed her nose while still looking pretty annoyed. "Very funny, Luan."

What the kids didn't know was that these pranks were just beginning.


First, after the kids finished breakfast, Lincoln went to take a shower. But right as he was washing his hair, he found his hands were literally sticking to his head.

"What the?"

It didn't take long for him to realize.

"LUAN!"

Luan opens her bedroom door and sees her brother all wet with a towel around his waist and his hands stuck to his hair.

"Did you put glue in the shampoo bottle?!"

"Oh relax bro. Sure it's sticky, but I'm not picky."

"But that joke was just plain icky," Lincoln muttered.


Lola was the next victim.

As she was in her room having one of her usual tea parties, she noticed that there was an empty plate of crumbs.

"Mr Sprinkles! I thought I told you to lay off the cookies! Now I have to go get more."

So she went down to the kitchen. Once there, she took a step stool and climbed up on the countertop in search of a box of cookies.

It wasn't long before a certain sister came into the scene. "Hey Lola. Need any help?"

"I'm perfectly capable of getting my own snacks, thank you very much."

"Don't be silly. That's my job. Besides, it's the least a sister can do." So Luan reaches up into the cupboard and pulled out a box. "There you go."

"Gee, thanks." Lola took the box, but was still pretty suspicious. Regardless, she took one out and began chewing on it. "Not bad. How long have we had these. Are they new?"

"Who knows? Mom and dad said they didn't buy anymore cookies. They didn't say anything about….dog biscuits."

"Wait! What?!" Lola took a look at the box and found out that it was indeed dog biscuits. Realizing that she just ate one immediately made her gag. Luan started laughing as Lola was spitting it out. "I can't believe it! Dog biscuits!?"

"You don't have to bark, you know!" Luan couldn't stop laughing.

"You tricked me, Luan! How could you?!"

"Hey, what are sisters for?" And she left the kitchen, laughing along the way.

Lola was so infuriated that even a little tornado formed above her head.


Next, Lisa was in her room helping Lincoln get his hands unstuck.

"Thanks for the help, Sis," Lincoln praises.

"Don't mention it, elder brother," Lisa assures. "I've been meaning to test my new maximum strength adhesive remover anyway."

"Well it beats having parts of my hair being cut off."

Then of course, Luan came in through the door. "Hey guys."

Both siblings were not amused.

"What do you want Luan?" Lincoln asked, crossing his arms. "Because if this is another one of your sticky tricks, I'm not interested."

"Oh no. Nothing like that. I just came in to ask for a favor."

Then Lisa became skeptical. "What kind of favor?"

Luan pulled out a handkerchief. "I was wondering if you could check to see if this has a loose thread."

But little ones were surprised and confused. "That's it?"

"If that's the case, why don't you just go to Leni?" Lincoln wonders.

"Because Lisa's microscope can give a closer look. No pun intended."

Of course, Lisa had her doubts, but she took the offer anyway. "Very well, but I got my eye on you."

Luan chuckles at that phrase.

But Lincoln still had his suspicions. "Something's funny here."

rimshot*

"Oh, well, what I mean is, I think Luan might be up to something."

So Lisa places the handkerchief under her microscope and observes it. "Fascinating, 45 millimeter, 900 thread count, super firm. But I don't see any loose threads. It looks fine to me."

She handed the handkerchief back to Luan, but unbeknownst to Lisa, her right eye had a little black ring around it.

Of course, Luan started laughing at this.

"What might I ask is so humorous?"

"Uh Lisa? Maybe you should have a look for yourself."

Lincoln hands Lisa a mirror and she sees that she had a 'black' eye. "Black ink on my microscope? I should have known."

Luan shrugs. "What can I say? It was definitely a feast for one's eye. Get it?"

Lisa grumbled.


Finally, the night before their doomsday, all the Louds, including the pets and the parents, had enough. So they all had a meeting in the parents room.

"We literally can't live like this!" Lori shouts. "Luan's pranks are running us ragged!"

"I'll say they are," Lynn jr agrees. "Every year on April fools day, her so-called jokes always blow up in our faces. Like when she filled my sports balls with helium."

"And she replaced my guitar strings with rubber bands," said Luna.

"And she tricked me into eating a dog biscuit!" Lola complains.

Lana moped "Lucky."

"I know how you feel guys," Lincoln said. "Remember that time when she shaved all of our heads and it took almost a year for our hair to grow back?"

"Or the time she covered the floor in grease and we ended up sliding all over the place," Lucy listed.

"And what about that rhubarb pie she put in Lana's lunchbox?" Lola includes.

Lana groaned. "Ugh! How could I forget? I almost ate it."

"I'm starting to think maybe her tricks are a lot more surprising than they are funny," their father said.

And the kids, including Lily, all had expressions that basically said 'whatever gave you that idea?'.

"If only we could pull an April fools prank on her," Lincoln thought. "Maybe then she'd learn to tone it down."

"But to do that, we'd need another prankster to help us," Lisa explains.

"She's right," Lucy agreed. "We need someone who knows a lot about pranks."

"Yeah," Lola contributes. "Someone who's mischievous."

"And clever," said Lynn jr.

"And sly," added Lana.

"And tricky," Luna said.

"But also good hearted," Leni includes.

"Someone who's a legendary pranker," Lori concludes.

All those hints gave one of the Louds an idea. Yep, that's right. The sole Loud brother, Lincoln, knew exactly who fit the description. And I think you can all guess who too.

"Guys. I know just the one."

"You do?" They all shouted.

"Who is it?" Lori asked.

"Tell us!" Lola demands.

Despite their pleas, Lincoln refuses to say the name. "Just give me a few minutes alone."

So Lincoln snuck out of the room and dashed right upstairs to his bedroom. Making sure a certain prankster wasn't spying on him, he grabbed his phone and headed outside and locked himself into Lisa's bunker.

Once inside, he made a quick phone call to a certain girl in Great Lakes City. It took a while, but he was able to get connected.

Of course, that person in question was none other than Ronnie Anne Santiago.

"Lincoln?"

"Hey Ronnie Anne. Whatcha up to?"

"I'm getting ready for bed, dummy. What are you doing calling me at this hour?"

"Look, I'm sorry. But this is really important and I need your help."

"Alright, what's up?"

"Well, you remember that time my sister Luan invited you over to our house and you threw a pie in her face?"

"Oh yeah. Like I said, it was the least I could do."

"Well I need a favor. Tomorrow is April fools day again and I was wondering if you could give me some advice about pranking."

"Woah, woah, woah, hold it. You want me to help you prank your sister?"

"You're the only one who can help. Next to Luan, you're the greatest prankster I know."

Ronnie went red in the face. "Well I wouldn't say the greatest."

"I would. If not, the best. If you've pranked me before, surely your pranks could help me get back at Luan. Besides, I'm sure you'd do the same for your cousins."

"I have, actually," she muttered to herself.

"So what do you say?"

"Well okay. I guess if you're that desperate. But don't go blabbing around that I'm doing favors for you."

"Trust me. You have the word of Lincoln Loud."

"It's a deal then."

After chatting with his friend, Lincoln went back into the house and explained everything. Well….. I should say most everything.

"You really think that'll work, little bro?" Luna asked.

"Yeah," Lola criticizes. "Not that I'm not a fan of your plans, but what if it doesn't work?"

"Trust me ladies, and dad," Lincoln assures. "I have my sources. Besides, have my plans ever failed before?"

"Weeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll…..."

"Nevermind."

"While I do have my suspicions about our brother's plan," Lisa explains, "at this point, we don't really have much of a choice."

"Right!" Their father complied. "If this'll be our chance to finally get back at Luan once and for all…..."

"Then let's go for it!" Rita finished.

"In that case, we start tomorrow morning," Lincoln declares.


The next morning was April fools day. Lincoln was the first to wake up.

But he had to sneak quietly through the hallway to make sure no pranks were set up.

"Okay, so far, so good. Nobody's been pranked."

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

That's when he heard a shriek from his oldest sister's room.

"I guess I spoke too soon."

That's when his second oldest sister burst through the door. Only she was wearing a onesie suit with spots and a long tail.

"Leni?"

"Linky! Don't look at me! I've been spotted!"

"What are you freaking out about?"

"I woke up this morning, I turned into a leopard! Now look at me! From now on, you might have to call me Spot, or Daisy, or Dutchess. Oh the shame."

"Excuse me Leni," Lincoln politely interrupted. "But have you noticed that there's a zipper in the front?"

"There is?" Leni looked down and saw Lincoln was right. "Oh what do you know? There is. It's just a pair of cuddly pajamas. I knew it all the time. Now excuse me for a minute."

Leni went back to her room to change back to her normal clothes.

"Oh classic Leni," Luan chuckles. "No matter how much she tries to hide, she's always spotted!"

"Don't count your rabbits before you pull them out of your hat Luan!" Lincoln said. "It takes two to tango."

"Oh, I suppose you have something sinister planned for me? Well I'd like to see you try." And she left.

That's when the other girls came in.

"Oh who are we trying to kid? She's right," moped Luna.

"This plan will never work," Lola sighs.

"This plan will work!" Lincoln encourages. "You gotta trust me."

"What's the point, Lincoln?" Lori moaned.

"Yeah," Lynn agrees. "Every April fools day, Luan's pranks always blow up in our faces."

"And whenever we try to prank her back," Lucy adds, "it always bites us in the butts."

"Well who are you gonna listen to? One of our sisters who always pulls pranks on us on April fools, or your own brother who's always got a plan for everything?"

"Is that a trick question?" Leni asked.

"What? You don't trust me?"

"It's not that we don't trust you, bro," Luna said. "It's just that….."

"Well sometimes your plans," Lynn continues. "They don't always work."

"And Luan's too smart for us," Lisa claims. "I should know."

"Yeah," Lola agrees. "Why should this year be any different?"

"Because I have my sources," Lincoln answered. "Listen, we're all sick of Luan's April fools pranks, aren't we?"

"Yeah!" They all say in unison.

"And we all wanna get back at her, don't we?"

"Yeah!"

"Well this is our chance! This could be the one year where we can finally prank her once and for all. But I can't do this without all of you. So I need you to trust me."

All the girls seemed to be skeptical of their brother's plan, but they knew that they'd hate it even more if Luan had outsmarted them again like she did the past three years. (You know what I mean).

Luna was the first to reply. "Okay bro. I trust you."

Lana also agrees. "I'm in if Lola is."

Lola was a little reluctant. "Well if she's in, then I guess I am too."

"That goes quadruple for me," Lisa said.

Lynn steps forward. "We're with you all the way Link!"

"Anything to stop Luan and her tricks," Lucy adds.

"In that case," Lori states, "count me in!"

Lily hugged her brother's legs. "Linky!"

The last was Leni. "Well don't look at me. I don't want to get pranked again."

"Alright everyone!" Lincoln declares. "Let's get to work!"


First up was Lynn and Lucy.

"Check this out Luce." Lynn held out a big jar full of marbles.

Lucy was less than impressed. "Marbles? You play over a million different sports and the best you can come up with are marbles?"

"That's just for starters. Once Luan comes out into the hallway, she'll slip on these and slide right into this!" She then held up a ball of sweaty, smelly gym socks. "My collection of lucky socks. Some of which have even been worn for over 10 straight years without being washed."

Lucy held her breath. "I didn't need to hear that last part, thank you."

Moments later, the trap was all set up, and all they needed was their victim.

"Heh, heh, this is it," Lynn laughs sinisterly.

But unfortunately, they heard someone else's voice.

"I'm just going to take a quick shower, Leni."

It was Lori, which got the two middle sisters worried. "Uh oh!"

Lynn opened the door quickly. "Lori! Wait!"

But it was too late. Lori slipped on all the marbles scattered across the hall right into the sock pile.

Of course, this did nothing but peeve her off.

Lynn ran right up to her. "Sorry, Lori! That wasn't….I mean….. I didn't know you…"

Lori just held up her hand and got up. "Stop. Not a word. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my shower. An extra long shower."

And she did.

"This stinks more than your socks," said Lucy.

Luan pops up. "I'll say it did. I know Lynn's a sore loser, but Lori gets mad whenever she loses her marbles."

The two middle children only grumbled.


Later, Lola saw her twin Lana preparing for something.

"Don't tell me you're about to give up now Lans," Lola said. "Because I wouldn't mind if you did."

"Not so fast. I've got a trap that's sure to work."

Lana points upward and Lola sees a bucket on Luan's door.

Lola wasn't too amused by how cliche it was. "The old bucket-on-the-door trick I see."

"Ahhh, but this trap uses mud."

"Just when I thought your tricks couldn't get any more typical."

"You just watch. And now for the moment of truth."

Lana grabs Lola's arm and hides in their room.

"Any minute now!"

That's when they heard the sound of a splash followed by a loud scream.

"Yes!"

The twins ran back only to find another surprise.

"Ha! Gotcha Lu…...lu….lu….."

Instead, the person who fell victim to the trap was Luna. As you can tell, she wasn't too pleased.

"Luna! I can explain! See, that prank was actually meant for….."

"No need!" Luna reassured. "Just give me a minute."

Luna heads to the bathroom to wash off the mud.

As for the twins, they gave themselves a slap to the face.

"Dang it!" Lana mopes. "Another big mess."

That's when Luan appears.

"You know, that's what I love about you Lana," Luan teases. "Anything you can mess up, you will mess up."


Next, there was a pile of flypaper set at the bottom of the stairs.

Meanwhile, Lincoln, Lola, Lana and Lisa were watching from behind the sofa.

"So remind me how this is supposed to work again?" Lana wonders.

"Simple," Lincoln explains. "Luan comes down the stairs, she steps on the flypaper and gets stuck. And when she does, we catch her and trap her in this straight jacket."

"Where did you get that?" Lisa asked.

"Lola's closet."

"Wait, what?"

They all turned towards the princess sister.

"Believe me," Lola claims. "It's better you don't know."

"And now for the moment of truth," Lincoln says.

But what they didn't know was that Luan already had yet another trick up her sleeve.

"Heh, heh. They think they're so smart, don't they? Well we'll see about that."

So she took out a little CD player and turned the volume all the way up, and some classical, soothing music began playing.

As the kids heard the music, something weird was going on.

"Where's that music coming from?" Lincoln wonders.

"I don't know," Lola says in a calm tone. "But I kinda like it."

"It sounds rather soothing," Lisa said. "And yet also hypnotic."

"Yeah," Lana sighs. "I don't know why, but it's kinda making me feel….*yawn*...sleepy. Maybe we could take a little snooze."

"But we can't!" Lincoln protested. "We have to stay awake or else….Luan might…..*yawn*...prank us." Despite Lincoln's protests, the music was so soothing that the kids all fell asleep on the couch.

Little did they know that they were about to be in for another big shock.


After half an hour passed, the four kids awoke to find another surprise.

Lincoln was the first to wake up. "Guys? What happened?" Then he felt something on his head that wasn't there before. "Huh? What?" Turns out, it was nothing more than Lana's signature red hat. "What's Lana's hat doing on my head?"

Then he felt something bump into his waist.

He looked down and saw it was one of his younger sisters. "Lisa."

But something was off about her. "Lincoln? Is that you?" Of course, Lisa couldn't see straight because she didn't have her glasses on.

"Of course it's me. But where are your glasses?"

"I don't know. As soon as I woke up, they were gone." So Lisa tried searching for them.

That's when one of the twins woke up. The first wearing a pair of overalls and a little something extra.

"Lana? What are you doing with Lisa's glasses?" Lincoln asked.

"I'm not Lana! I'm Lola!"

"You are? Well where's your tiara?"

Lola felt the top of her head to find her tiara wasn't there, which made her enraged. "OOOOOOOHHH! When I get my hands on that wisecracker!"

But Lana was still sleeping.

So Lola shook her awake. "Lana! Get up now!"

So she did. "Lola?" Lana was rather surprised to see that her twin was wearing her overalls. "What are you doing wearing my clothes?" But she was even more surprised to find out she was wearing Lola's dress and tiara. "What am I doing wearing your clothes?!"

"Who gave me Lana's hat?" Lincoln wonders.

"Who stole my glasses?!" Lisa accuses.

"Who took my tiara?" Lola scolds.

"Who made me Lola?" Moped Lana.

As the four began bickering, Luan slowly rose up from behind the couch.

"I can see you're all in a bit of a jumble!" She laughed.

This made everyone growl.

"YOU!"

"Face it guys, it's like I told you. You can't outwit me. Like your ridiculous rearrangement, the joke is on you. Again."

And she left.

"That's it!" Lincoln growls. "No more holding back. Time to prank Luan big time!"

"Ditto. But first…" Lana leaped up and took back her hat. "That's mine!"

"And gimme my tiara back!" Then Lola snatched her tiara off her twins head.

"I believe those spectacles belong to me!" Lisa said, putting her glasses back on.


So now it was the parents' turn to give it a try.

What they did was they covered the entire back door with plastic wrap and coated it with chocolate syrup.

"If this trick doesn't work, I don't know what will."

But of course, Luan was one step ahead. As she walked into the kitchen, she whistled innocently as if she had no idea what was going on.

"Hi mom. Hi dad," she greeted.

Both parents were surprised. "Oh, hi Luan. What're you up to?"

"Oh I was just thinking about taking a break to relax outside. Should I go into the front yard or the backyard?"

Lynn Sr giggles. "The backyard. It's always more fun out there."

"Yeah. Hey, you know what would be fun? Going out through the window."

"The window? What are you nuts?"

"Well how else am I supposed to get to the backyard?"

"Through the door of course."

"The what?"

"The door! Look I'll show you."

Lynn Sr made his way towards the door, but Rita knew what was going on.

"Honey! Wait!"

But again, it was too late. Lynn ran right through the door and got caught in the sticky wrap.

Rita just shook her head as Luan laughed at her dad's expense.

"Don't you just hate getting wrapped in your own trap?"


Next, Lori and Leni were in the basement doing the laundry.

"I honestly don't see the point in doing laundry today knowing that Luan could be planning another prank on us," Lori states.

"What difference does it make?" Leni asked. "As long as she's busy pranking the others, she won't be coming after us."

"Well, can't argue with that."

Finally, the laundry machine stopped and Leni began unloading it. But she was in for another surprise.

When she took out the clothes, she was shocked to see that they were all bright yellow.

"Hey Lori? Are all of these Luan's clothes?"

Lori took a look for herself and she was also surprised. "No." But when she took a sniff at the laundry, she picked up the scent of lemon. And by that, I mean actual lemons. "But I know Luan had something to do with this!"

"Bravo Lori, bravo."

The two turned to the stairs and saw Luan leaning against the railing.

"Luan! Did you replace the laundry detergent with lemonade?"

"Yep. It's cleansing and refreshing. Also, you should've seen the look on Lincoln's face when he found out I put orange juice in the his hair gel."

"Oh so that's why Linky's hair smelled like oranges," Leni realized.

"Not to mention his hair looked more orange than his shirt," Lori adds.


Finally, Lisa was putting together a little trap of her own.

"Now if this doesn't work, I forfeit. By my calculations, as soon as Luan trips this wire, she'll fall right into my snare tied to this tree, which in turn will fling her into the air at a perfect 45 degree angle setting her right into the perils of the muckiest swamp in Royal Woods! MWAHAHAHAHAH!"

But soon, she stopped laughing once she noticed Luan was standing there the whole time.

"I was laughing too loud, wasn't I?"

"Uh Huh." Knowing what her sister was up to, Luan moved her leg forward enough to hit the trigger wire.

At the same time, Lisa realized she was standing right in the middle of the noose.

"How could I not have foreseen this?"

Then the rope suddenly tightened around her knees as the tree flung her into the air landing right into the swamp.

"Dang it."

Fortunately, it didn't take too long for her to return home.

When Luan opens the front door, she sees Lisa was completely drenched in swamp water and even had a lily pad setting on her head.

Just as Luan was about to crack a joke…

"Don't say it!" Lisa threatens. "Please, don't say it!"


Finally, all the kids (sans Luan) and the parents were all in the living room, moping.

"We're getting pulverized!" Lynn jr shouts. "We might as well just quit while we're behind."

"We can't give up now!" Lana protests. "We've gotten so far now!"

"Well this next phase of Lincoln's plan better be good," Lori said. "Because I don't know how much of this I can take."

"So what do we do next, bro?" Luna asked.

But Lincoln says the one word nobody thought they'd hear him say.

"Nothing."

"Alright! Let's get…." Lola pauses at what her brother just said. "Did you just say 'nothing'? As in 'nothing'?"

"Yes. Nothing. That's it. It's over. We lost."

"Hold it!" Lynn jr halted. "You don't mean…"

"Yep. I do. Now I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I…..I give up."

Everyone gasped.

"Those are three words I thought I'd never hear come out of his mouth," Lucy states.

That's when Luan popped in out of nowhere.

"Ha! I told you you can't outfox a prankster! I told you! Too bad little bro. I had a lot of faith in you."

Lincoln said nothing. Just stood there with his head lowered, his eyes closed and a frown on his face.

"But it looks like the joke's on all of you."

Or so that's what she thought.

For when she took a step, she slipped on a bar of soap and flew into the air, landing on a skateboard rolling through the house.

She went zooming through the living room, the dining room and the kitchen until finally she reached the back door, where the skateboard flung her face first into a huge mud puddle.

Once everyone ran out to the backyard, they could scarcely believe their eyes.

"My mud!" Lana shouts.

"My skateboard!" Said Lynn jr.

"My word!" Lisa observes.

But to everyone's surprise, they all heard the sound of laughing coming from their only brother. Getting louder and more hysterical.

"Uhh…...Lincoln? Are you okay?" Lana asked.

"Yeah, what are you literally laughing about?" Lori questioned.

"I'm laughing….because the joke is on Luan!"

All the girls and the parents were shocked.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Lola accused. "Was this your plan all along?"

"Yep," Lincoln explains. "You see, I had you guys pull all those little pranks on Luan to distract her while I was busy getting ready for the real deal. The only reason I couldn't tell you was because I wanted her to be in a false sense of security. And let's face, you girls (mostly Leni) aren't exactly the best at keeping secrets."

"True," Leni said.

"Then by making her think that my plan had failed, she would walk right into the trap. And then…..WHAM! The rest is history. It took a lot of elbow grease, but it was worth it."

Everyone was stunned. "Wow!"

"So Luan? What do you think?"

Luan had a big scowl on her face. "What do I think? I'll tell you what I think! After what you pulled, I couldn't be more…..proud of you!" She then gave her brother a big handshake. "Bravo, little brother. That was the best prank of all time."

"I'll say it was," Lola agrees. "You've sure got the mind of an evil genius, Linky."

"Yeah. But how'd you manage to pull it off?" Lana asked.

Lincoln smirks. "Let's just say I got a little help from a very special friend."


That night, Lincoln was in his room talking to that special friend of his.

"I can't believe that actually worked," Lincoln told her.

"Like you said," Ronnie Anne said agreeably. "I'm the master of pranks. You should have seen the ones me and Carlota pulled on my cousins and Bobby."

"Well it looks like I'll have to remember these techniques for next year. By the way, have you checked your mail yet?"

"No. Why?"

"Oh, you'll see," Lincoln chuckles with a sly smile as he hangs up.


Back at the Casagrandes' apartment, Ronnie Anne was in her room thinking about what Lincoln had meant.

"What was that about?"

Just then, a knock came at the door. Ronnie Anne opens it, revealing her abuela.

"Mija, you got a package in the mail today."

She handed her the box, but Ronnie Anne saw that there was no name on the return address. "Who's it from?"

"No lo sé. I don't know. All I know is that it was addressed to you. I'll just leave you alone with it."

So she did.

However, when Ronnie Anne did open the box….

SPLAT!

A cream pie pops out right into her face. Along with a bunch of confetti as well. And at the bottom of the box was a note.

"Happy April Fools, loser. Signed, Lincoln Loud."

With that, Ronnie Anne just smiled and shook her head. "Good old, Lame-o."

Well, you know what they say: one good prank deserves another.
