Now we see why luan thinks April Fools Rules, but everyone else doesn't.
Also, be sure to check out AND review ScoutNout's story "If you're seeing RED or you're feeling BLU." It's a crossover between The Loud House and Team Fortress 2. Seriously, it's that good.

Title card: April Fools Rules.
The Louds (except Luan) and Clyde paled, Mr. Grouse grimaced, and Ronnie Anne winced.
"Oh boy! An April Fools Day episode!" Luan said excitedly. "You're gonna laugh your butt of Benny!"
"I bet I will!" Benny said.
Those who knew what Luan did every April Fools Day traded nervous glances knowing that Luan's boyfriend, as well as Giggles, were gonna see exactly that. And they weren't gonna like it.
Lincoln: [marks April 1st on his calendar; to the viewers.] "Tomorrow is April Fools' Day. Every year my sister Luan creates a prank apocalypse and no one is spared!"
"Dramatic much Lincoln?" asked Stella.
"Trust me Stella, he isn't." said Clyde.
Lincoln: "I present to you Luan Loud's April Fools' Highlight Reel."
[He begins showing a montage of Luan's April Fools' Day pranks on the Loud Family. First, the siblings are looking at their furniture, which is tacked upside down to the ceiling.]
Luan: "I'd say this prank's a little over your head!" [laughs]
"Nice one!" laughed Benny.
"How did you pull that off?" asked Sid.
"I know some people." said Luan.
[Now they open the door to find the room full of chickens]
Luan: "Seems to be your clucky day!" [laughs]
"Aww look at all those chickens!" Sam cooed.
"Where did you get them?" asked Tabby.
"From me." Liam replied.
"But why would you help her with a prank?" asked Lynn.
"Seemed funny to me." Liam replied. "Plus, it wouldn't be the last time I would help one of Lincoln's sisters with a prank."
"Wonder if we'll see that happen." said Becky.
Lori, Carol, and Roger traded nervous glances.
[Now the kids are looking at their house all wrapped up in wrapping paper.]
Luan: [rips through a window] "I guess that's a wrap!" [laughs]
"Good one!" Giggles laughed.
"But where did you get all that wrapping paper?" asked Sid.
"Like I said, I know some guys." Luan replied.
[Now the siblings are trapped in a humongous gelatin.]
Luan: "Aww, look at the Loud Family gettin' jiggly with it!" [laughs]
"Could they even breathe in there?" Mollie asked in surprise.
"We were able to eat our way out." said Lana.
[The pets' fur and Walt's feathers got shaved off.]
Luan: [holding a buzz shaver] "I shaved the best for last!" [laughs]
Everyone grimaced at the shaved pets while Charles, Cliff, Walt, and Geo glared at Luan, who didn't seem to notice.
"That… seems a bit much." said Girl Jordan.
"At least it wasn't a badger." said Sid. "I tried giving them a haircut, which didn't go well, and they shaved part of my head."
Everyone cringed.
"And that was all two years ago." Lori replied.
"This was a year from then." added Lincoln.
"Wait, I thought last year was at a motel." Leni said in confusion.
"It was." Lisa replied.
"No it was with the doubles." said Lana.
"Also true." Lisa replied.
"Wait, how can three separate April Fools Day incidents happen in the same year?" asked Albert.
Everyone was seriously confused until Lisa cleared her throat.
"I can explain." Lisa said. "Two months earlier, our family was watching the cinematic movie Groundhog Day, which starred Bill Murray. I was fascinated by the idea of the time loop theory that Murryas' character was put through on said holiday through so many cycles. So I spent up to Valentine's Day making a machine that can cause a time loop. All you have to do is enter a date and it would happen."
"That sounds cool!" said CJ.
"And confusing." added Rusty.
"Science can be for you fragile homospaiens." said Lisa. "After April Fools Day, I wanted to test out my machine on Groundhogs Day itself as the movie inspired me. Unfortunately, Lily's cries for a diaper change startled me, making me press the wrong buttons and I entered on March 26 and the machine activated. That was around the pranking at the motel. I put the machine away for storage. A week after Lincoln and Lori returned from their visit to Great Lakes City, where Lincoln met Ronnie Anne's friends to be precise, I was cleaning my closet and accidentally activated the machine and we were all sent back to March 26 once more. That was the time of the doubles incident."
Everyone was surprised.
"That's… interesting." said Chunk.
"Seeing that my invention was dangerous, I immediately threw shut it down and I destroyed it." finished Lisa.
[The video ends]
Lincoln: "See what I mean? Nobody's safe from that evil pranking genius. But this year's gonna be different. Luan is not gonna prank me! Because I've got an April Fool proof plan. [towards his door] You're not the only one who can make a pun, Luan!"
"True that Lincoln." said Luan.
"Yeah, he can make good bro puns." added Bobby.
"Those are a thing?" asked Rocky.
"You bet." the oldest Santiago sibling replied.
[Lincoln opens his door to reveal Lily wearing a watermelon helmet and diaper, Lynn putting on padding, Lola coating herself and Lana in bubble-wrap.]
Lana: "Bubble-wrap me next!"
Lucy: [enters with her head inside a gargoyle head.] "I need more armor."
Lynn: [as Lisa enters in army gear] "Where's my helmet!?"
Lori: [talking on her smartphone] "Bobby, we have to cancel all our plans in April." [Bobby asks why] "Because Luan might shave my eyebrows off again! And it takes a month for them to grow back."
"You did what to her eyebrows?" Dana asked in shock.
"It was just a prank!" said Luan.
"And aren't you guys being overdramatic?" asked Carlota.
"Trust me Carlota, we're not." said Lola.
Luna: [following Lisa] "C'mon Lisa! Let me hunker in your bunker!"
Lisa: "You should've been more prepared. We'd known this storm was coming for 364 days."
Luna: [dropping to her knees and begging] "PLEASE! GIVE ME SHELTER!"
"From what, whoopie cushions and joy buzzers?" asked Carl.
"Not even close brah." said Luna.
[Lincoln walks by whistling when Lola dashes out in front of him.]
Lola: "Arms up, Lincoln! Your turn for bubble-wrap.
Lincoln: [puts his hand in front of Lola.] Not this year, Lola. I'm not getting pranked.
[Loud girls chatter]
Lola: It's never been done!
Lynn: Are you crazy?
Lincoln: Ladies! Ladies! I got a plan! I'm simply gonna lock myself in my room till the day's over. I've got snacks, video games and a hose to pee in, which I call the Tinkle Tube. Patent pending.
Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, Lucy, Lola and Lily: Ew!
Lana: Cool!
"That's pretty clever Lincoln." said Ronnie Anne.
"And gross." added Lola.
"But still cool!" said Lana.
Lincoln: [points to his window] It goes out the window! The point is, I'll never have to leave my room so Luan will never get me.
[The siblings look frightened as Luan comes upstairs while holding a sausage.]
Luan: Ooh! It's Pranksmas Eve...and I'm just bubbling with excitement. [pops a piece of Lola's bubble wrap and walks away.]
Lola: I'm gonna need more bubble wrap! And a fresh pair of undies.
"Eww!" everyone grimaced.
"I'd need new underwear too if that happened." said Clyde.
"A bit dark, don't you think Luan?" asked Benny.
"Hey I was just excited!" Luan replied.
"A little too excited." Carl noted.
Lincoln: Thanks for the lumber, Lana! I'll return it on April 2nd. [walks away with lumber.]
Lana: Mahogany was a good choice. That'll hold nicely.
"It is a strong wood." said Carlos.
[Lincoln closes his door, uses the drill to seal the nails and Mahogany on it, then puts a chair by the doorknob.]
Lincoln: [takes out his radio] Clyde, wanna hang out tomorrow? I built us a fortress with snacks, games and a Tinkle Tube. Patent pending.
Clyde: On Pranksgiving? No way! Not after what happened last year.
[Flashback to what happened during the past April Fool's Day where Clyde steps on a rope as one of Luan's prank traps. Water sprays on his face and he is covered in hay. Luan's laughing can be heard. Then, a flock of crows come to attack him as he screams. End flashback as Clyde looks a little scared.]
"AAH!" Howard screamed as he fainted.
"That explains everything." Harold shuddered.
Clyde shuddered as well while everyone else looked shocked.
"Oh come on Clyde, no need to ruffle your feathers!" Luan joked.
"Where did you even get the crows?!" cried Frida.
"Oh, another guy I know." Luan replied.
Lincoln: But nothing's gonna happen this year. I've got an April Foolproof plan. [ringtone sounds] Hang on Clyde, Ronnie Anne just texted me. [checks his phone] She said she's coming over tomorrow with a present for me. [gasps] She can't come over tomorrow! She'll get nailed by Luan's pranks and then pulverize me!
Clyde: Just tell her to come over another day.
Lincoln: I can't do that! That will definitely get me pulverized!
"I would have understood." said Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln took out his phone and pretended to text.
"'Ronnie Anne, please don't come over my sister is in a homicidal pranking mood' *looks at Luan* No offence."
"None taken." Luan replied.
"'And she is going to probably prank you so hard you'll end up in the emergency room for racoon bites.'" Lincoln finished.
"OK when you put it that way, you have a point." Ronnie Anne admitted.
Clyde: You gotta get Luan to call off Prankapalooza. Appeal to her humanity. Beg if you have to!
Lincoln: Good idea! Just as soon as I get the Mahogany off the door!
[Lincoln tries pulling it off and goes in Luna and Luan's room, he arrives and Luan turns around in a Jester chair to face Lincoln while she has Cliff on her lap.]
Lincoln: Luan! You gotta call off Prankageddon! Please! Ronnie Anne is coming over tomorrow and I can't let her get pranked!
Luan: Okay.
Lincoln: Really! Wow that was easier than I...
Luan: APRIL FOOLS PRACTICE! Lincoln, you know the April Fools Rules. Anyone who sets foot on our property is fair game. Speaking of which, is Clyde coming over? 'Cause I'd love to just say HAY! [laughs insanely]
Everyone shuddered at Luan's laugh.
"Oh I forgot about that one!" Luan laughed. "Good pun, huh Benny?"
"Uh… yeah…" Benny chuckled nervously.
[Lincoln storms back to his room, puts the Mahogany back on his door and calls Clyde.]
Lincoln: Clyde! Pleading with Luan did not work! She's an animal! [hears a cat noise] What was that?
Clyde: Oh, that's Cleopawtra. She's been feisty lately so we put her in a timeout crate.
"Oh I hate it whenever our fur-babies are like that." said Harold as he revised Howard.
"Luckily, work with Dr. Lopez has gone very well." said Howard.
"Your psychologist helps animals?" asked Arturo.
"So does Camilla!" said Sergio. "But on live TV!"
Lincoln: Timeout crate. That's it! [runs away to brainstorm his idea and tries to pull the Mahogany off the door.] Why did I choose Mahogany?
"It can be both a blessing and a curse." said Lana.
[At the basement, Lincoln flicks the lamp on.]
Lincoln: [to his sisters who are not Luan] Okay, we're all here? Good! So, about Luan...
Lola: Shh! She's got ears everywhere! [turns on the washing machine] I saw this in a mob movie once. She won't hear us over the noise.
"That's pretty clever." said CJ.
"And you let her watch a mob movie why?" asked Albert.
"I might have, uh, seen Mommy and Daddy watch it when I was getting a glass of water one night?" Lola said sheepishly.
Lincoln: We all know tomorrow is going to be awful. But it doesn't have to be. If we combine forces, we can prevent Luan from setting up any pranks in the first place.
Lynn: Uhhh, how exactly are we gonna do that?
Lincoln: Let me tell you my plan.
Lisa: Better make it snappy. We're almost done with the spin cycle.
"Wonder what he's got in mind." mused Chunk.
[Later that night in Luna and Luan's room, Luan is snoring. Luna then gets up and gives a bird-like call to signal that Luan is asleep.]
"Neat bird call." complimented Sid.
"Yeah, pretty cute." Sam said to Luna quietly.
Luna smiled and blushed.
[Everyone then enters the room. Luan then opens her eyes as her siblings tied her down, trapped her in a cage, and keeping her fingers together with Chinese finger traps.]
Luan: [enraged] LET ME [starts screaming her words] OUT OF HERE!
Everyone was taken aback.
"That was…" began Carl.
"Unexpected." Casey, Sameer, Nikki, and Laird finished in unison.
Lincoln: Okay.
Luan: [surprised] Really? Wow! That was easier than I...
Lincoln: APRIL FOOLS! We aren't letting you out until April 2nd! [The other sisters begin to cheer.]
"Doesn't that seem like a little much ninos?" Rosa asked.
"Trust me Abuela, it isn't." Ronnie Anne replied.
Lynn: That was a crate plan, Lincoln! [The siblings laugh during a rimshot.]
Lori: I've been crating for this moment all my life! [The siblings laugh again.]
Lana: Well, better crate than never! [The siblings laugh again.]
"Good puns!" Benny chuckled.
Leni: You're in a crate! [The other siblings don't seem to get it.] Get it?
"That wasn't a pun, that was you being Captain Obvious." said Polly.
Lincoln: Maybe we should just go to bed.
[The next day, Luna is heard screaming. The cage is now broken, meaning that Luan just escaped, much to the horror of everyone.]
"What the heck?!" exclaimed Margo.
"How did she get out?!" asked Paula.
"It was easy really." Luan replied.
Lola: [panicked] We're doomed! Luan escaped, and now she's gonna be mad!
Lincoln: How could this have happened?!
Luna: She's a black magic woman, dude!
"That's one wya of putting it." Lynn Sr. shuddered.
Lincoln: [holds up a loose chain] I gotta get my money back for these.
[As Lincoln pulls the chain, it sets up a bucket full of honey that spills on him, followed by a blast of feathers while the sisters gasp in surprise.]
"Uh oh." said Clyde. "It's started."
"It's just feathers and honey Clyde, nothing wrong with that." said Giggles.
Lisa: Peace out. I'll be in my bunker. [dashes off]
Lincoln: Everyone else to my room! We'll be safe there.
[As the siblings runs towards Lincoln's room, their parents shows up by the stairs. Rita is wearing a padded gear while Lynn Sr. is wearing bubble wrap.]
Lynn Sr.: What's all this ruckus about?
Lori: Luan's on the loose! TAKE COVER!
Rita: But we thought you locked her up!
Lynn Sr.: Plan B! RETREAT! RETREAT! [He and Rita run back downstairs.]
"And now you two are overreacting?" Principal Ramirez asked, unimpressed.
"Trust us, we're not." Rita shuddered.
"Believe us everyone, this is not gonna be pretty." said Lincoln.
Lincoln: [ringtone sounds as he checks his phone.] Oh no! Ronnie Anne's on her way? Could this day get any worse? [He bangs his head on the wall. A rope on the wall is attached to the vacuum cleaner that's taped on the ceiling and its bag opens up to drop dust on Lincoln.]
"OK that'll just get him into a sneezing fit." said Kotaro. "But I wouldn't say violent."
"K-Dog, you don't know the half of it." shuddered Lynn Sr.
Lincoln: Well, that's my answer. But on the plus side, that's one less prank Ronnie Anne could suffer. [he gets an idea] That's it! If I set off all the pranks in the house, there won't be any left for her.
"Ooh!" the girls said in unison.
"Oh grow up!" Ronnie Anne huffed.
"That's pretty nice of you Lincoln." said Stella.
"And very risky." added Lori.
"Hey, I knew the risks. But I was just trying to be nice." Lincoln replied.
Ronnie Anne smiled at that.
Lynn: Lincoln! It's not safe out there!
Lincoln: Save yourselves! I got a job to do.
Lucy: Don't worry, Lincoln, I'll plan your funeral.
"How dramatic are you girls?" asked Mandee.
"Lucy and Lola have a flare for the dramatics." said Lincoln.
"But here, they're justified." added Clyde.
[The sisters close Lincoln's bedroom door and puts Mahogany on it. Lincoln puts on a helmet and takes out the house map and circles kitchen.]
Lincoln: I'll start by de-pranking the kitchen.
"Oh this is gonna be fun!" Luan said.
"For you maybe." scoffed Lola.
[Lincoln goes downstairs and looks at a sign that says "Kitchen this way" while it points the open front door.]
Lincoln: Kitchen this way? Ha! Does she think I'm dumb enough to fall for that?
[Lincoln takes the original route and goes into the kitchen and finds grease on the floor.]
Lincoln: Well, here goes nothing.
[Lincoln cautiously walks on the grease trap causing a boot contraption to kick him into the fridge while a box falls on his head. As he gets up, he slips on the grease, opens the fridge door, and is socked right in the face by a boxing glove on a spring. The force of impact propels him into the stove.]
Lincoln: "OW!"
Luan laughed.
But everyone else was shocked.
"What the hell?!" exclaimed Sam.
"He broke the stove!" cried Carlota.
"That shouldn't even be possible!" exclaimed David.
[His helmet breaks apart, and a bunch of vicious raccoons pop out of the stove and attack Lincoln as he screams in pain.]
"RACCOONS!" Albert, Maria, Arturo, Hector, Rosa, and Principal Huggins exclaimed in shock.
"How did she even get those?!" cried Albert.
"Those creatures are well known to be carrying diseases like rabies." Maria said in shock.
"And those teeth and claws are made to break bones and tear flesh… not funny get caught on those." Sid said grimly.
As Luan laughed at the memory, everyone else paled at the thought.
Luan: [popping in from the other room.] "I made that dish from scratch!" [laughs]
"I almost forgot about that pun!" laughed Luan. "Good one, huh guys?"
"Uh, yeah, g-good one." Benny said with a weak smile.
"Pretty c-clever Luan." added Giggled.
[In the backyard, the Loud siblings' parents are at Lisa's shelter.]
Rita: [As Lynn Sr. knocks on the shelter.] "Lisa Marie Loud! Let us in!"
Lisa: "I'll need some of your assurances in return! One, I will never again be punished for the explosions in or around the house!"
"That's asking a bit much Lisa." said Becky.
"Yeah, you need to keep your experiments under control from what we've heard." added Jackie.
"Science isn't always perfect." Lisa huffed.
Luan: [with a pile of Lily's stinky diapers.] "Happy April Stools!" [She prepares to aim one with a slingshot towards her parents.]
Rita: "Are those diapers? She wouldn't!"
Lynn Sr. [frantically pounds the shelter.] "Whatever you want! Just let us in!"
Lisa: [opens the shelter while holding a contract.] "Sign here, here and initials here."
[After the parents sign their names, they hide while Luan shoots diapers at them.]
"Gross!" many people exclaimed while Luan laughed.
"That's not funny, that's disgusting!" cried Dana.
"Nauseating!" added Sergio.
"Where did she even get all those diapers?!" asked Zach.
"Maybe after all the times Lily was changed she preserved them somewhere." suggested Rusty.
"Given what we saw in 'The Green House' I wouldn't be surprised." said Liam.
Lincoln: [looks at the map and finds a flying flour in the bathroom and screams.] Ha! [He catches it, but the flour has a timer to explode.] "Uh oh!" [The flour explodes and Lincoln starts coughing as he finds the sink to turn it on, but the water splashes him.] "Towel! Towel! Towel! Where's the towel?" [As he blindly searches for a towel, he finds a raccoon and uses it to wipe himself but after he opens his eyes, he finds out he has one and screams as he runs away from it.]
Luan: "Don't give up, no one likes a critter!" [laughs]
"Rubbing animal fur on your eyes can seriously irritate them!" cried Arturo.
"And who knows what that raccoon could've gotten into!" added Carlos.
"Let's also not forget that was wasting water, as well as partially damaging their only bathroom!" added Mrs. Johnson.
"Now I'm starting to see why the Louds were scared about this." Carl said nervously.
Lori: "I think if we ration the food, we should be okay."
Lana: "What does 'ration' mean?" [eats a bag of chips and drinks apple juice. The others glare at her as she realizes her mistake.]
"That." Sid replied.
Lola: [scoffs] "Typical! Now someone has to go into the kitchen for more supplies!"
[Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, and Lucy all talk at once]
Lana: [gasps] "Let's draw straws!"
Leni: [sighs] "I'll just go. I know I'm gonna lose. I'm a terrible artist."
"That means pick a straw Leni." said Fiona.
"Oh!" Leni said.
Lucy: "Actually, that's not what-"
Lola: [covers Lucy's mouth] "Good luck, Leni!" [She and the other girls shove Leni out of Lincoln's room and put the Mahogany back on the door.]
"Seriously? You guys just only let Leni get more food, and you don't even check up if Lincoln is fine?" Stella asked.
The girls traded guilty glances.
Leni: [makes it downstairs and finds a sign that says "Kitchen this way" and reads it.] "Kitchen this way? Oh. Thank you, sign!" [finds another sign that says the same thing.] Thank you, sign!" [finds another sign.] "Thank you, sign! Thank you, sign!"
[She keeps following them into the town to parts unknown.]
"That would explain the signs." said Fransisco.
"Where did you even end up?" asked Chaz.
"Oh! I ended up at the hair salon." Leni replied.
Lincoln: [looks at map] "Okay. Living room. So far, so good."
[then a red line comes when Lincoln crosses it and a projector is switched on, showing an embarrassing video of Lincoln kissing a balloon with a face on it while Clyde is beside him.]
Lincoln: "I think this is how you kiss a girl." [kisses the balloon]
Clyde: "Don't hold back, Lincoln. Girls like a guy with passion!"
[Lincoln kisses the balloon and it pops. The video loops.]
Everyone burst out laughing while Lincoln blushed.
"Well Clyde's not wrong." said Sam as Luan blushed.
"That's not a prank! That's just embarrassment!" said Principal Rivers.
Lincoln: "I can't let Ronnie Anne see this!"
"Too late." Ronnie Anne said while Lincoln buried his face in his hands.
Lincoln: [goes on the couch] "Stop! Stop!" [He tries to stop the film, but the couch has a spring and Lincoln goes up the ceiling and gets stuck by sticky flypapers. He falls down to the couch and goes back up.]
Luan: "Looks like spring is in the air." [laughs]
"Get it? Because of the couch springs?" Luan laughed.
"Uh yeah…" said Benny, laughing weakly.
"That must've really hurt his front and back!" winced Frida.
"And I doubt fly paper is even good for your skin." said Miguel.
Lincoln: [looks at the map] "Just got to finish the bedrooms!" [the house's exterior is shown as Lincoln gets attacked by Luan's pranks. Afterwards, Lincoln is tired, beat up and dirtied as he gets a call from Clyde.]
Luan burst out into hysterical laughter but everyone was shocked and horrified at how Lincoln looked. Lincoln shuddered at the memory.
"Oh my god!" cried Carlota.
"What the hell?!" exclaimed Bobby.
"Jesus Christ!" exclaimed Margo.
"Bloody hell!" exclaimed Tabby.
"Madre mia!" exclaimed Rosa.
"No wonder he looked so bad when I got there." Ronnie Anne muttered.
"And you girls didn't check on him why?!" demanded Girl Jordan.
The sisters traded guilty glances.
Clyde: "Lincoln! What's happening? Lucy just invited me to your funeral!"
Lincoln: [takes a mouse trap out of his eye and screams.] "OW! I've been setting off all the pranks in the house so Ronnie Anne doesn't get hit." [Lifts his shoe as sand pours out.] "I've gone through every room except Leni and Lori's." [Clyde hangs up] "Clyde? Hello?"
"Oh no, Clyde you didn't." said Stella.
Howard and Harold looked nervous.
[the doorbell rings as Lincoln goes downstairs to open the door.]
Clyde: "I volunteer to clear Lori's room." [Clyde goes to Lori and Leni's room offscreen as he gets attacked by Luan's pranks.]
Howard and Harold screamed at their soon's appearance and fainted alongside Frida.
Lincoln and Clyde shuddered at how they looked while Luan laughed again. Benny just looked horrified at his girlfriend's actions.
"What are you, a spawn of a Maniac Clown?" Mr. Grouse asked.
Clyde: "It was worth it. Lori's room smells like apple cinnamon."
Lincoln: "That might be this pie." [points to the pie on his head and sighs.] "Well, that's it. The Loud House is prank free!" [high-fives Clyde as the latter walks away and faints. Ronnie Anne arrives and is surprised when Clyde faints, before continuing towards the front door.]
"You didn't even stop to help him?" asked Mollie as Maria, Arturo, and Carlos helped Howard, Harold, and Frida back up.
"All I was thinking was 'I don't wanna know.'" Ronnie Anne replied.
"Can't blame you for that." said Rusty.
Luan: [chuckles as Ronnie Anne arrives] "I won! You thought you'd outsmart me, but you got the worst pranking ever!"
Lincoln: "You didn't really win, Luan. I only set off the pranks because Ronnie Anne was coming over." [Ronnie Anne looks rather touched at hearing him say this.]
"Aww…" the girls gushed.
"He was just benign nice like Lincoln said earlier." huffed Ronnie Anne.
Luan: "Yeah! Well who do you think invited her over, genius?" [Ronnie Anne's expression turns to a confused look.] "I knew I had to lure you out of your room, so I called Ronnie Anne, and told her how much you love April Fools' Day. And here she is, to deliver the final blow."
"Ronalda Anne Santiago!" Maria exclaimed angrily, making her daughter wince as everyone galred at Luan.
"Whoa whoa whoa before you get too mad, i don't think she knew Luan´s pranks would be THAT extreme." said Lincoln.
"Yeah as much I thought he would be only covered in like eggs and flour not pass a literally minefield." Ronnie Anne replied.
"I… guess that seems fair." Maria admitted.
[Lincoln turns to Ronnie Anne, who pulls out a pie, with a villainous-looking smile on her face. Lincoln braces for impact, and a splat is heard... but he isn't hit.]
Lincoln: "Huh?" [As Lincoln opens his eyes, he finds out that she instead threw the pie in Luan's face.] "But why'd you do that?"
Ronnie Anne: "You took all those pranks for me. It's the least I could do. Come on, let's draw some eyebrows on you and go get a milkshake."
[The two leave the house.]
Luan: "That girl's a keeper!"
"Aww!" the Loud sisters and Sid cooed while everyone else smiled at the two.
"That is literally sweet." gushed Lori.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne didn't even retort at them. They just blushed and smiled at each other.
[Soon afterwards, the family come out of their hidings and are relieved that the prankfest is over.]
Lynn Sr.: "I think it's over!"
[The other eight sisters agreed.]
Rita: "Wait! Where's Leni?"
Lisa: [looking at the "Kitchen this way" sign.] "I have my suspicions."
"Oh right, almost forgot about her." said Grant.
Lynn Sr.: "Okay, everybody in the van. Let's find Leni, and then afterwards, frozen yogurt to celebrate! Ha-ha!"
[Everyone cheers and hurries to Vanzilla. But just as the van is about to start, the airbag explodes, splatting blue paint everywhere in the car.]
Everyone: [furious] "LUAN!"
Luan: [to the viewers] "Aw, the end of April Fools always make me feel a little blue". [laughs] "Get it?"
"Should've seen that coming." murmured Rita.
"Hahahaha oh Ronnie Anne certainly got me good!" Luan laughed as she turned to Benny. "So what did you think, Benny? the funniest episode of all time?" she asked with a grin.
But there was dead silence.
"Benny?" Luan asked again.
Still silence, which worried Luan.
"Benny?"
Benny slowly turned to Luan, looking dead serious. "Luan… that... that wasn't funny." he said.
"Hahaha… eh? What do you mean? Didn't you see those epic pranks?" she asked.
"Are you kidding me Luan?!" Benny snapped, making her jump in alarm. "Are you that blind and naive?! Those weren't pranks! You turned your entire house into a death trap! I can't even imagine what your family has been put through every year ever since you started doing this! No wonder they're terrified out of their minds prior to it all! You turned April Fools Day in the Loud House into the Hunger Games for Christ's sake! Your brother and Clyde could've been seriously hurt!"
Luan was startled by Benny being angry. The only other time she had seen him like what was when Principal Rivers was gonna cut the Drama Club due to finances. Here, he was livid… and it scared her.
Meanwhile with the adults,
"I can't believe you let your daughter run havok like that Rita...EVERY YEAR!" Albert snapped, getting everyone's attention.
"Dad, I know it kinda looks bad…" Rita began.
"KINDA?!" Albert exclaimed with a glare. "Lincoln alone could have been sent to the hospital by the time we were HALFWAY the episode!"
"Not to mention what my baby had to pass TWICE because of those pranks…! Especially those birds." added Howard.
"It's just… well, she just tend to go bit overboard with her jokes." said Lynn Sr., sweating nervously.
"Sorry to say but crows aren't a joke… they have strong beaks and claws." Carlos said
"Not to mention all those things that Lincoln passed." Maria added sternly. "I mean mousetrap in the eye? Stuck to the ceiling with fly paper? Being punched against the stove?! Attacked by raccoons?! Bucket with concrete?! If that dried faster he could have been seriously hurt… I'm half tempted to ask our host for a full medical team to see if there aren't any aftermaths left!" sne snapped.
"And while all this was happening you and your husband were hiding inside a bunker...after signing a contract to NOT punish Lisa for any explosions on top of all." Albert huffed.
"Let's also not forget that calling Ronnie Anne to get Lincoln out of his room was a seriously cowardly move." added Stella.
"Do you even punish her for it?!" demanded Frida.
"Well… we do ground her for several weeks." said Rita.
"And yet she still does it every year?!" snapped Harold.
"You should've laid down the law with her so she wouldn't continue it in the future!" exclaimed Albert.
"C-Come on guys, it was just-" Luan began nervously as all eyes landed on her.
"Again Luan, those weren't pranks!" exclaimed Lori.
"The way you did those pranks made your family fear you like you were a sociopath!" exclaimed Carol.
"CJ, Carlitos, and I like doing pornaks on Carltoa, but we would never go that far!" said Carl.
"Yeah!" CJ and Carlitos said in unison.
"What we just saw, on the other hand, made you look like a jerk!" Giggles said angrily. "It's like all you care about is getting a good laugh out of everything while your siblings cower in fear or get seriously hurt!"
"Did it ever occur to you that Lincoln and Clyde could have gotten seriously hurt?" asked Sam. "As your Pop-Pop said, those pranks would have landed them in the hospital! Especially Lincoln!"
"Yeah, like Mrs. Santiago said, if that raccoon bit him, he could've had a serious case of rabies!" added Sid. "And that doesn't help that raccoons don't get certain shots like dogs do!"
"The mousetrap could've affected his eye, along with the flour and raccoon fur!" added Principal Huggins.
"When he fell from the fly paper, he could've cracked his nose or seriously bruise the back of his head to the point where he could've had memory loss!" added Arturo.
"And you're lucky when he crashed into the stove, only the helmet broke." said Lynn with a frown. "Otherwise, he could've cracked his skull!"
Luan gasped.
"I… I… I never thought of that." she said.
"No you bloody didn't!" snapped Luna.
"You're too caught up in getting a good laugh instead of realizing that we're all terrified out of our minds!" snapped Lucy.
"It could be worse."
Everyone looked and saw Joe walk up. He was holding his phone.
"Whaddya mean Joe?" asked Chaz.
"First of all, have any of you heard of a website called, FanFiction?" asked Joe.
Everyone nodded.
"Well, many people in my dimension like writing on it, especially with any kind of franchise they enjoy, including your shows." said Joe. "Sometime when it comes to certain episodes like this one, they do alternate endings, epilogues, sequels, or rewrites."
"I'm guessing there's one about this episode?" asked Lincoln.
"Some yeah." said Joe. "Including this one called 'Luan Goes Too Far' written by OXYD. Basically, it's several years later and once again, Luan is at it with her pranks. While the Louds hide in Lisa's bunker, Lincoln goes to disable the pranks. While Luan watches from the attic, Lincoln basically goes through what he went through here."
"That sounds about right." said Lola.
"And like before, she's too blind to see that they;re dangerous, though she comes to some sense when one involved Bun-Bun." Joe continued.
Luan gasped and Lincoln paled. "Not Bun-Bun!" he cried.
"And that's when it happens." Joe said grimly. "In the kitchen, Lincoln slips on bacon grease and crashes into the fridge and you laugh your butt off Luan. However… one of the legs snaps and the fridge suddenly begins to fall. Lincoln tries to get away, but it's too late. The fridge crashes onto him, making Lincoln give a blood-curdling scream before screaming in agony until there's a loud crack and everything's silent. That finally snaps Luan out of her enjoyment and she's horrified out of her mind."
Everyone gasped in horror, no more so than Lincoln and Luan.
"No..." Luan muttered in horror.
"You run down from the attic and the adrenaline in you helps you lift the fridge off Lincoln." said Joe. "And what she sees is Lincoln seriously injured as if he was in a car crash."
"No!" cried Luan.
"When the family finds out, 911 is on the scene." said Joe. "However, Lincoln is in a serious critical condition and he barely makes it alive to the hospital."
"NO!" screamed Luan.
Everyone was just as horrified.
"Oh god Lincoln…" gasped Lori.
"Please tell me our baby doesn't die in the story!" begged Rita.
"He doesn't." Joe replied. "However, he has serious major injuries and has memory loss. Everyone is angry with Luan, she's grounded for some time, and Lincoln suffers memory loss."
Everyone was horrified. Lincoln was paler than the pale members of the Mortician's Club.
"What else?" he asked timidly.
"I won't go into more detail, but at the end, all is resolved. Lisa helps restore Lincoln's memory and Luan is eventually forgiven. But she lives through a lot of guilt and resentment for what she did in the story." said Joe.
"That's… a relief." said Lynn Sr.
"I can't even imagine such a horrific time in our lives like that…" said Lucy.
"No one can Luce." said Lynn.
"Please no! I don't want my pranks to make Lincoln injured!" fried Luan, tears in her yes. "I don't want him in the hospital in critical condition! I can't live with myself if that happened!"
"Luan! Calm down!" exclaimed Lincoln, holding his crying sister's hands. "Luan, he said it was just a story. I didn't end up in the hospital because of you. And neither did Clyde. I know you would never mean to do such a horrible thing."
Luan sniffed, but smiled a little at Lincoln's words.
Joe turned to Luan. "I hope everyone snapping at you and telling you what could've happened that would've landed Lincoln in the hospital makes you realize that your pranks on April Fools Day aren't funny at all but seriously dangerous." he said grimly. "There are two more episodes like this that you cause. One is similar, the other, a bit better. I hope that they'll knock a lot of sense in your head."
Luan nodded as Joe left through a portal. She turned to the audience.
"I know that an apology might not work, but I am sorry." she said in guilt.
"We know you are." said Lori. "But let's hope that seeing this and the other incidents from our perspectives will make you truly sorry."
"And stay in retirement from such barbaric pranks." Lincoln added.
Lily winced at that remark.
Luan turned to Benny, who just looked disappointed.
"Benny?"
"I know you would never mean to harm your family intentionally Luan." Benny began.
Luan looked nervous.
"But, given what I just watched, I'm not even sure what to think of you anymore." said Benny.
"Benny, you're not suggesting-" Luan began as tears poured in her eyes again.
"I don't want to break up with you Luan." said Benny before sighing. "But, I'm… just not comfortable being near you right now. I want us to be together because I have seen you in a better light several times. But now… a simple apology isn't just gonna cut it. I'm gonna need time to think about it."
Luan's heart sank. "I… I understand." she said.
Benny scooted away and sat between Chaz and Carol.
There was an awkward silence.
"Let's… move on…" Lincoln finally said.
Everyone nodded as they faced the screen again. Seeing things in a new light now, and feraign what they would probably see in the future, Luan was starting to realize that her pranks on April Fools Day weren't pranks at all, but were death traps that could have hurt her family. She was relieved that she and Benny weren't breaking up, but she still felt terrible that she put him in a rough position. She really didn't want this, but she knew she brought it upon herself.
And if she could read Benny's mind, she would've found out that he didn't like the idea of them breaking up either. Such an idea as well as him being conflicted… it hurt him.
To be continued…
Wow… what a chapter.
Don't worry, Luan and Benny won't break up. Benny just needs to think for a while and Luan needs to get two more reality checks in her face before they do. And once Silence of the Luans happens, both she AND Lily will stay retired.
Continue to PM me Lucy's eye color and dialogue suggestions for future episodes.
Also, someone brought this idea up for me for the next episode. Should I make the Bratty Kid from "Cereal Offender" Carol Pingreys' younger brother like in "What is a Person Worth?" Lemme know in the reviews.
Up next, we catch a Cereal Offender.
