A/N: Today, the Regular family will have the spotlight.
Note: I do not own The Loud House.
*The Loud House logo shows up in a black void, then cuts to the episode title card as Regular Show's opening music plays. The title card's crew member's names appear under just as those pressing sounds in Regular Show's opening credits play out, and then to a cut to the episode.*
June 30. A dark green electric powered Ford E series 12 passenger van, with dinosaurs painted onto it, luggage and 3 surfboards held onto the roof, and a dark gray, electric powered Toyota Rav4 with its own amount of luggage, and 3 more surfboards held onto the roof were driving for a while, from an airport, followed by three moving semi-trucks. Between these amounts of vehicles was a robotic Pachyrhinosaurus . Behind the three trucks, there was a white van. They were passing houses, making different turns at different points. They drove for 10 more minutes until they stopped at Franklin Avenue, in Royal Woods, Michigan. They stopped in front of their new house, a large orange house with a dark blue roof. 11 people came out of the the van and Rav4. These people were the Regulars, relatives of the Louds. Two of the kids, and Anthony, driver of the Toyota car, took out of the vehicles and their cage and carriers, their husky, Cade, their toucans, William and Myra, (still in their cage though), and their Indian runner duck, Artie (their robot Marco, was inside one of the semi trucks, turned off for a long time). Caleb breathed in through his nose, and exhaled through his mouth. The pachyrhinosaurus, Bernard, came over to the right side (from his point of view), of the family, as they looked at their new house.
"We're here, family. Welcome to our new home." He said.
"Yeah, I guess." Kira said, without enthusiasm, looking down at the ground.
"Hey, enjoy what you have, my daughter. Who knows? You may obtain good memories, not only with a certain someone you know. For now, we'll just stay here, building up our money for the farm. Until we have reached the amount, we'll stay here, save money one step at a time, try to adapt, and it's pretty convenient where we'll be living, we're fortunate that we'll be living across the street from the Looooooooou-" as soon as Caleb walked elsewhere and turned around, he saw that what remained of the loud house was nothing but a crater and lots of ash, and he had shock in his voice. His eyes shrunk, everyone turned around and gasped in shock.
"W-what happened?" Amanda asked, confused.
Caleb ran over to the sight, joined by his family. Caleb was at a loss for words. He blabbered a little bit, unable to comprehend the sight. How could the house have been destroyed-like this?
"Are you all new here?" A male voice asked. They turned their heads to the left. In front of them was a black-haired man, behind a chain link fence dividing his front yard, and the remnants of the front yard the family was on. He was Brett Preston (in fact, Caleb was just as tall as Brett).
"Uh, yes." Caleb answered, coming to his senses. "I am Caleb Regular. This is my family, the Regulars." He pointed out his family "This is my wife, Amanda. These are my sons and daughters, Antonio, Kevin, Esther, Skyler, Rico, Milo, Kira, and Regina. Who are you?"
"I am Brett Preston. The son of Horatio Preston. I moved here two days ago."
Caleb's eyes shrunk halfway and he made an o shape in his mouth. The same thing happened to most of his family.
"Brett Preston? The actual son of Horatio Preston? The former CEO of Mt. Preston Robotics?"
"That's right." Brett answered, nodding his head with his eyes closed. "Why do you-" Brett's eyes were open as he asked, then he stopped, his shrunk halfway, he made an o shape with his mouth. They looked at each other for 3 minutes, silently.
"Oh my gosh. You're the Caleb Regular? One of the best inventors and to a lesser extent, designers in the company?!"
"Uh, yes."
Brett Preston rushed over and shook his hand. "Pleased to meet you, good sir!" Brett calmed down and cleared his throat. "So sorry for how I acted. But I was so excited. I happen to be your new boss, when summer vacation is over."
"Mhm. Yes, I was told before I moved."
"Ooh, I was given your file among the rest months ago, when I was told about the new factory opening up in Royal Woods. Let me tell you, this is exciting! I get to have you as one of my workers!"
"Mhm."
"Nice to meet all of you! We should get together sometimes, you should meet my brothers and butler and get to know them."
Esther spoke up. "We didn't know you have brothers. That would be very nice. But I must ask you a question. I'm sure my dad wanted to ask, but, what happened to the house you're next to?"
"Oh yeah. Before I say, let me tell you, me and my brothers moved here two days ago, right next to the Louds."
"Mhm." Caleb said. "Now, I'll have you know that Rita Loud is my sister."
Brett became surprised. "She's your sister?" He asked awkwardly, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. I'm her older brother. Of course, nowadays, I don't have a lot of respect for her, nor especially her husband, Lynn." Brett was a little bit more surprised shortly, but Esther asked on. "Now, what happened to the house?"
"Okay. Well, I was in charge of taking care of the house, as of two days ago. But as I was coming back from buying things, I was joining my brothers and my butler, when suddenly we saw fireworks flying high in the sky, then they came shooting down straight onto the house I was watching. We screamed and we ran. The fireworks went under the house, and it blew up twice. Eh, there was a boiler room underneath. I've been there."
The Regulars gasped.
"I was traumatized by the sight for a while. At a later point, I got back to reality and saw that a group of firefighters had put out the fire, although at that point, the damage had been done."
"So, exactly where are the Louds?" Caleb asked, a little bit curiously.
Brett chuckled nervously.
"Funny story. I uh, I thought they should have something pleasurable, but I didn't get to know about them well enough. I accommodated them financially for a trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain and they went on their way, along with money for lodging, gas, and food."
The family was surprised. "They went-where?" Caleb asked, processing this revelation.
"They went on a trip to California. Absolutely nobody mentioned you at all. I didn't know you were Rita's big brother."
Caleb's bottom left eyelid twitched, while he processed this. "How long did they say they'd be gone for?"
"I was told they'd be gone in a week. And so I was in charge of taking care of their house. I already told the patriarch about the house's destruction yesterday. I also told him he and his family could stay over at our house, while me and my brothers would contribute to getting their house rebuilt and then some. From beyond interesting things I was told about by people in this town, my opinion of them dropped, except for Lincoln. But you guys feel trustworthy and enjoyable. I can tell. Anyway, before the house's destruction, I told them their possessions in the garage were stolen two nights ago."
"What?" Caleb asked, calmly.
"Oh yeah. They were. And I double checked both parts of the garage to make sure they were locked."
Caleb breathed in and out repeatedly, but his anger was building up, and his voice was quickly increasing. "My sister and her idiot husband, forgot that today was our dad's-"
*cut to Caleb in the hallway, crossing his arms, his eyes were half-lidded. He was dissatisfied.*
"-Okay, so, from what it turns out, from what my new boss, Brett Preston was telling us, he sent most of the Louds on a trip to Six Flags. Who would've thought? But can you believe that Rita forgot that today was Dad's birthday? What the hell?" Caleb threw his arms out, before crossing them again. "Of course, I calmed down. And I had to remind myself, so did my wife that I had at times, forgotten Rita's birthday either when we were little, or when we were teenagers, and on rare occasions I had either forgotten some of my children's birthdays or how old they were last year. Not to mention, I wanted to surprise the Louds that we were moving here, same with Dad. I also learned from my boss that Lincoln wasn't with the Louds, we learned he was too stressed to be with them for another day, so he went to live with someone else, far away from here. The family of a friend of his. Who would've thought?" His face changed to a face mixed with sadness and being upset. "It's rather actually sad if their kids all actually forgot about his birthday. Even Lincoln. I can only imagine how Dad would feel if he learned this. 1 more thing, we were informed that they could take this as a chance to visit us." His face and tone became calmer. "Rita's husband actually told her that. I don't respect them much, but they were really going to try that. That's-that's surprising."
*cut to Kira in the kitchen. She was a little bit sad.*
"I cannot believe they forgot. Especially Lincoln. Of course, I didn't know at first, that he wasn't with them. It turns out, he went to live with someone, somewhere three hours away from here. You know, Pop-Pop would get to see all of us on FaceTime individually or in pairs, almost on a daily basis, otherwise, he would see our entire family in a group thrice a month, during a FaceTime call. But almost most of the time, he would be talking on FaceTime, to Dad, Mom, or both of them. *sigh* How could the Louds have not remembered? But, there were times I've been forgetful. We've all been forgetful of something in our own right. Dad was the least forgetful, Antonio was the second least forgetful. Changing the subject, why couldn't most of the Louds be more like us? Or mostly more like the lion family from Between the Lions? They're not like the family from Heartland, that's for sure."
While the movers were moving the furniture and other things into the house, Caleb and Amanda sent their kids to go into town and find something meant for Albert, from Savannah, while split up into different groups, one of them would have a few of them riding on Bernard. The Regulars already got their respective gifts for Albert, but Savannah had either forgotten too soon, otherwise, she didn't take any chances she had to get a gift for her grandpa. Anyway, the groups of kids had to avoid any chance encounters with their grandpa, and avoid getting spotted by him, especially the group that was with Bernard, since a robotic dinosaur stuck out like a sore thumb, it didn't help that so many people looked at him in surprise. Their dad wanted exactly everything, birthday related, and otherwise, to be a surprise for him. They also had to buy birthday decorations, a birthday cake, and candles (but the parents would buy food for the party). Hours had passed, and unfortunately, in spite of their efforts, they only got most things for Albert's birthday today, but no birthday present for Albert. But there were two instances of two different groups almost getting spotted by Albert. After all groups went home, Savannah helped organize the placements for the decorations, while her parents and first three oldest siblings were setting up chairs for a meeting, in the basement, on top of the boiler room (which was underneath that room). After that, Caleb and Amanda ordered three boxes of pizza, went on to buy food, chips, cupcakes, and soda at one of the grocery store, but while they were shopping, they saw Albert looking at something, and they acted quick so as to not get caught. After a while of more shopping, they paid for their groceries, went out to pick up their pizza, and returned home. After putting most of the food away, they went down to the basement and gathered. Caleb spoke out.
"Okay, everyone. As you all know, today is Grandpa's birthday. Most of us have gotten birthday presents, and we've got enough food and applicable things to eat at the party, and the decorations are already set in place. However, Savannah doesn't have a gift for Grandpa. As if that wasn't enough, apparently no one could find something that Grandpa would want, either because they were sold out, they were too expensive, or you were unsure if he would enjoy it. We're going to have to brainstorm and figure out what to help Savannah get him."
"A new pair of reading glasses?" Regina asked, raising her hand.
"That's nice, sweet and all. Except, that's what Savannah mostly gets him every time."
Milo raised his hand. "Hang gliding lessons."
"You're kidding me, right?" Caleb's eyes were half-lidded.
Antonio raised his hand. "A boat? An actual boat. For him to take it out on the lake. And not a canoe or a kayak. A motor-powered boat.."
"I'd have to think about that." Caleb scratched his chin as he looked up.
Savannah thought to herself for 5 minutes and snapped for her fingers. "Hey, Dad, Mom. I got an idea."
"Okay. What is it?"
"Go on. Tell us, sweetie." Amanda said.
"I remember two years ago that Grandpa and I were on a FaceTime call. He said he heard about this new arcade that opened up and went there by himself for fun. It's called 'Planet Fun.' It's a multi-themed arcade. He went there, he saw a board game called 'Cretaceous Terra Monopoly.' He wanted the board game, during half of the time when he'd talk to only me, he would tell me that he's been playing so hard, trying to do it independently. But he always failed. And get this. Last time I heard him, he told me that to this day, the board game is still on the self at the prizes section. He says that he heard from someone a previous day ago last week, that apparently everyone who's tried to play to win it was unable to win a certain amount of tickets to get it. Apparently the biggest obstacle that stands between them and the game, is getting enough tickets in the arcade from the skee balls machine."
"I remember that arcade. I read about it last year, and even though it still operates, it has bad reviews in half of the list of reviews about it. Bland pizza, it's a little bit understaffed, it has only two restrooms, the lights are half often requiring maintenance, and a third of the staff are rude. Three good things about the arcade, for example, are the different themes it has for most different sections of games, and aside from the games that actually give you tickets, they also have arcade machines that have games from different time periods like Galaga, RoboCop 2, Eliminator II: Judgment Day, Cretaceous Park, etc, and surprisingly, the animatronic band there is said to be one of the best operating bands, they play great, addictive songs too. And they're not even animals. They're humans. Of three different races. Huh. Someone probably wanted to make the band diverse."
"Well then, this is our chance to get the board game. For us, for Savannah, and for Grandpa. Let's have lunch, drive down to the arcade, and win this board game. Even though I realize now, we won't be able to celebrate Grandpa's birthday today. But, the party still is meant to be a surprise.
*cut to Milo in the kitchen.*
"And Dad thinks there's a problem with most of the Louds? No offense to him. I love Grandpa. I don't want us to be rude to him. This doesn't feel right. We should just celebrate his birthday today, and then try to win the game tomorrow. I feel like that's more necessary. Sooner or later, Grandpa will call Dad."
*cut to the Regulars at the arcade.*
"What do you mean we can't enter the arcade today?" proclaimed Caleb to a male worker.
"Today is a day where the arcade is open at night time. It happens twice a month. Tough luck, man. You're just going to have to wait until it opens at 8:00."
"How swell." Caleb said sarcastically. "And you don't have a sign that explains this because-"
"We were out of cardboard and paper at the moment to put it on at the moment."
*cut to Antonio shaking his head, directed at the floor, his eyes closed, in the family house's hallway."
"I don't understand why we shouldn't just celebrate it today. Grandpa must be surrounded by people who appreciate him. Yeah, he has friends, and his new flame, Myrtle, but still. The Louds are already gone as we speak. I don't see why Dad doesn't want us to just go to the arcade, and win the game tomorrow. And for some reason, Mom won't talk him out of it. This is beyond ridiculous. Absolutely no one won the board game up to this point. I want to go see Grandpa. All of us do. A few of us are more vocal about it, though. Frankly, it's a waste of pizza, food, and decorations to wait for the arcade. At least we wrapped up the gifts that we did have for Grandpa before we moved here."
William and Myra were being fed pieces of fig by Milo, on his bed. Cade came into Milo's room (he was sharing it with Rico), panting as he looked at the boy feeding the toucans. Milo got the toucans on his hand, one by one, then put them in a smaller cage together. Years ago, apparently, he and his family learned on the Internet, that toucans need a bigger cage, one that's outside. Thankfully, they managed to take the cage for the toucans from the farm apart, and took it with them as part of the move. However, they'd need to put in some concrete on a portion of the backyard, before building the fence, so the toucans wouldn't have trouble with gophers popping up and biting the toucans, in the scenario that the latter came down and tried to deal with them (not to mention they'd have to put in a shelter for the duck, Artie). The Regulars went to the park, with Bernard and Marco, who was turned on, and Cade, William, Myra, and Artie who were on harnesses, they split up, as they went to enjoy themselves. Antonio played frisbee with Esther, Kevin, Marco, and Rico, Skyler, elsewhere, Kira, and Milo went to play ball and frisbee with the husky, Caleb and Amanda went walking, with Regina, Savannah, Bernard, and the duck, while the toucans were held with the leashes connected to the harnesses by Caleb and Amanda as they flew. At times, one of the kids, otherwise one of the parents, would keep an eye out for Albert, if they saw him before he could, they'd have to run or walk fast to stay out of sight, especially as long as they had enough time, distance, and objects to hide themselves. Regina looked around her as she saw people enjoying their own respective pleasures, while holding her dad's hand. Cade chased after a frisbee, caught in the air, and was run up to by Kira and Milo, who shook his head, affectionately praising him. Milo took the frisbee, threw it again, Cade chased after it and caught it again. He walked back to the two people, dropped the frisbee, Kira threw the ball far from them, and he went running after it. He caught the ball and ran back to the people. Artie was quacking, content in his surroundings, as he walked, his harness leash held by Savannah. He could see on his left side as he saw mallard ducks swimming in the pond. With his other eye, he could see a family and a cat having a picnic. Bernard walked, as he trailed behind his group. He didn't really have a happy face. But it was nice for him to be exploring more of his new home. The other robot was, in the front yard. The Regulars needed to get a gate, so there wouldn't be any damage in trying to get the robot dinosaurs into the backyard. And just like it started after he was built, people looked at him in surprise, amazement, wonder. He was basically, a recreation of an animal that lived long before humans came to exist. What's not to be unusual about his presence? He walked casually, he turned his head to is right, then straight, he grunted a little bit. He walked around, to his right, walking alongside his group, they were happy to have him there. Although that didn't change his presented face. Later, the kids went home, and Antonio, Caleb, and Amanda, rode on Bernard, on a tour of Royal Woods, as Antonio acted as a tour guide. They explored over a lot of the town, and saw different sights and locations in it, or outside. They even took a short glimpse from afar, of the retirement home that Albert was living in. Among the things they had seen, they saw Flip's food and fuel (hopefully they wouldn't have trouble getting the power to their electric-powered vehicles back up to 100%), Royal Woods elementary school, middle school, high school, the community pool, the zoo, Dairyland, Lynn's table, and the aquarium.
*cut to Amanda, sitting down on the sofa in the living room.*
"This place feels great so far. I'm going to enjoy this while we live in the suburbs. I hope we all can make friends here. We must enjoy things here while we can, before we reach the amount of money we need for a new farm. I love this town. I think we're going to adapt to this just fine. I hope Lincoln will do fine in the city. And I hope he'll be less stressed soon enough, God willing."
*cut to Milo sitting down in the living room.*
"This place is promising. I'm starting to like it. It's got Gus' Games n' Grub, a movie theater, Burpin' Burger, a community pool, a mall, and several restaurants. I can't wait to try out to the food that Uncle Lynn makes at his restaurant. I especially can't wait to see the zoo and the aquarium. Of course, I don't know if I still can be able to bond with some of my cousins."
*cut to Regina, with Marco right next to her on the sofa.*
"This place is wonderful! It's great! I love it! There's a museum, a zoo, a library, uncle Lynn's restaurant. And more than that. And we live across from Daddy's boss and our cousins. I feel like this could get better as the days go on. I want to get to know Mr. Preston's brothers."
*the camera held by the camerawoman zooms in on the Regulars watching a movie on their TV, in the living room. They were watching The Mask of Zorro. Dialogue from the movie could be heard.*
The hours passed as the Regulars went about their day, occupying themselves. Bernard stayed in the backyard for the rest of the day. It was almost cramped. In fact, he flew into the sky and landed himself there, while Caleb flew the other one, but neither of them should always be doing this. The Regulars knew that. The hours passed. It was night time. The Regulars drove to Planet Fun in their van, with Marco sitting in there too, while Bernard followed them. They parked their van, unbuckled, and walked towards the arcade, while Bernard waited behind the building. Once the family entered the arcade, they could see all around them the different games and sections inside. There were half plenty of kids and adults. And here's something: this arcade was meant for all ages. There were two guarded doors that led to another part of the arcade, and the signs above said "adults only" and teenagers only." Caleb raised a brow at that. The family walked along as they looked around for the prizes section, Rico stepped on a piece of pizza on the floor along the way, and his left shoe had cheese and pepperoni, on it. To his shock.
"Ugh." He said in disgust and dissatisfaction, then he got shoved aside by an obnoxious 5 year old boy running past him, laughing to himself. "Rrrggh." He clenched his fists and tried to go after him, but was grabbed on the shoulder by his parents. "Rico, forget about him. It's not worth it." Amanda insisted. With that, they kept walking, looking around, until Esther saw and pointed out the prizes section in front of them, from 8 feet. And on the top shelf, on the right, was the board game, Cretaceous Terra Monopoly. Some of the family members looked to their right. From 11 feet, there was the animatronic band that performing in the arcade. The lead player and singer was a Brazilian man (with a name tag that said Jose), he played an electric guitar, the second player was an African-American woman (with a name tag that said Eva) with an afro, she was playing a trumpet, and the third player was an Italian man (with a name tag that said Brandon) with black hair, he played the drums. The family kept walking until they reached the counter. Maybe they could still get the game without having to play for it. The clerk there, with a bored expression, had a name tag that said "Jim Parker."
"We'd like the Cretaceous Terra Monopoly board game." Caleb said.
"That'll be 1 million tickets." Jimmy said, in a bored voice.
"Eh heheheh, no." Antonio responded solemnly at the end there. He took out his wallet. "We'll pay for the board game instead. It'll get us out of your sight. Can we pay for it in cash? How much will that be? 20, 50, 212?"
"1 million tickets. If you like, all of our price listings for all of our prizes are on the wall."
"Well, can we just buy the tickets?" Asked Skyler.
"Tickets are a penny each."
The family exclaimed in surprise. But Caleb just looked down at the floor with his eyes closed, while Antonio just rolled his eyes and groaned. They left the prizes section.
"Okay, looks like we can't get the board game the easy way after all." Antonio announced.
"Then let's get started. Pop-Pop deserves that game, it's go time!" Kira punched her right fist into her hand. The family then high-fived each other, they got started. The family played the games at the arcade that would give tokens, during all of the activity. For example, Marco played air hockey against his opponents, trying to stay one step ahead of them, trying to stay focused, he competed against different opponents, kids, a few teenagers, a few adults, and he won against everyone of them. With his last opponent defeated and storming off in anger, and the tickets being dispensed, Marco celebrated in victory, Caleb and Kevin were playing at the two moving basketball hoop pop a shot machine games, they needed to win that many tickets, they had determination for it, tokens were being spent and tickets were being dispensed as they went, Rico and Kira were playing on the Cretaceous Terra arcade game, the band was playing another song as the family kept on playing, Antonio was playing whack a mole, staying well focused and quick enough to whack the moles that popped up, Esther and Savannah were playing on another dance timing game, trying to match arrows onto the circles.
Later, the family was sitting down on two tables. Antonio made an announcement. "I've got bad news, everybody. We're 15,377 tickets away from winning the board game. And the worse news is, we only have one token left." The family murmured amongst themselves. "Thankfully, I've found one game in the arcade that gives out a lot more tickets more than the rest." Antonio led the family across the arcade, until they found a certain one. And it was the very one that he mentioned. Something that involved throwing balls. It was clear before their eyes. "Skee balls. This will have to be a group effort. The more of us there are, the faster we go, the more chances to throw the balls we get. So I want everybody to line up, when the game starts, you must throw and get back in line. Now let's make like marbles and roll." He proclaimed. And with that, he put in the last token, the balls were dispensed, the game's timer started at 11 minutes, Antonio threw his ball first, then Milo, then Kira, then Caleb, the first ball ended up in the center 5,000 chute, the second ball ended up in the top left 15,000 chute, the third ball ended up in the center 5,000 chute, the family was going as fast as they could, Caleb's ball ended up in the top right 10,000 chute, Esther threw her ball, then Skyler, then Regina (who just threw her ball against the table and flying into the chute), Esther's ball ended up in the top left 15,000 chute, the next ball ended up in the 10,000 chute, and the last ball ended up in the 10,000 chute. The family spent the next minutes trying to make their balls land in the right chutes. The timer was now down to 5 seconds. "Come on, hurry!" Antonio exclaimed. Marco threw his ball, it jumped twice and landed into the 15,000 chute. The timer was down to 3 seconds. It was now Savannah's turn. "Come on, Savannah, sync it!" Kevin said in seriousness and confidence. Savannah quickly made her move, threw the ball, it jumped up three times, it was on the top right 10,000 chute, it was rolling around. Everyone gasped in anxiousness. Finally, it fell into the chute, and the timer ended followed by the sound of the buzzer! "Yeah!/Oh yeah!" The family said amongst each other, a few of them jumped, Marco, Regina, Kira, Caleb, and Milo, danced in celebration, as the tickets pumped out.
*cut to a "24 minutes later" title card"
Some of the Regulars were now bored, so was Marco, while others were sleeping with their heads down on tables, as the tickets were still dispensing.
Jim Parker looked as the tickets were placed on the counter.
"1-million-tickets." Caleb declared.
"What would you like, good sir?" He said, indifferently.
"We'll take Cretaceous Terra Monopoly."
The family murmured and chuckled in satisfaction. "For Grandpa." Antonio said.
Jim turned around during this, used his reaching hook, grabbed the board game , it fell off, and he quickly grabbed it in the air, before handing it over to the family. Antonio grabbed it, turned around, faced the family, and gave it to Savannah. "Yeah, we did it!" Antonio declared.
"Now I can give this to Pop-Pop!" said Savannah, excitedly.
"Now let's get out of this dump and celebrate someone's birthday!" added Antonio. However, the moment he finished that exclamation, the game was seized by Jose, who was with Tasha and Brandon.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not giving anything to anybody." Jose said, calmly, in a light Brazilian accent.
"What?/Huh?/What the hey?/What'd he say?/Excuse me?" The family said, and Antonio said that last question. Jose took out a remote control with a red button, pushed it, and a white convertible dropped from the ceiling onto the stage. "Aw, what?" Caleb said, a little bit surprised. The musician robots boarded the car, Jose started the engine, and the car turned, drove off the stage, smashed into a wall, drove off the parking lot, and almost drove into the Preston brothers and Mr. Ai walking on the driveway, Scoots was with them too! Mostly everyone jumped out of the way across, but Gregory grabbed Scoots off and jumped, while her scooter ended up ran over and destroyed! The Regulars saw this through the hole in the wall, while Bernard saw this when he was next to the van. "After them!" Caleb proclaimed. He and his family rushed out through the entrance, but Marco ran out through the hole. The family got in the van, and chased after them, followed by Bernard. The robots drove around 7 cars, and ran past a traffic light that was green. Jose looked in the rear view mirror and saw the Regulars behind them. He was a little bit surprised and concerned. The Regulars and Bernard ran part the same green light and caught up to the robots. Brandon looked back at them and grabbed a drum. "Yaaaah!" He threw it at them, but the Regulars and Bernard avoided it. The drum then blew up! "Aaaaaagh!" The family and Bernard were safe, but they were almost killed and thrown off course, although they were momentarily slowed down. The chase continued on, as the cars and the dinosaur were heading out of town. The Regulars caught up to the thieves again, and by now, their van was driving right next to the thieves' car. "Give us back the game!" Caleb shouted, before driving the van into the other car, three times. Bernard assisted and ram the back of the car three times. The car wasn't slowing down. Both vehicles were at equal speed with each other. Suddenly, Kevin opened the door, where he was exposed to the car. His parents took notice. "Kevin, don't you dare!" His dad exclaimed. "Son, stay right where you are, close the door!" The mother shouted. Kevin wasn't having it, though. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and held onto the door and the van handle. "Give us-the-game!" He jumped onto the car, his feet running along the road, as he partly held onto the car door! As he quickly looked at Brandon, he got punched twice so hard, that his nose started to bleed. He shouted in pain. He saw the board game between the other two robots and smiled with an open mouth, but just as he almost took it, he got punched a third time in the nose, by Tasha, being told "Back off, creep!" Brandon quickly grabbed him and threw him off, but landed just in the direction of the car door and held on. But Jose opened the door, and while the Regulars backed off, Kevin was holding on for dear life, babbling in fear a little bit, while still running his feet across the road, before quickly pulling his legs back! The vehicles continued their driving across the road for a while. Bernard quickly took his chance to help out one of his creator's sons. He ran between both vehicles. Just as Kevin climbed up to jump onto the dinosaur's face, everyone could hear a truck horn blaring. Kevin screamed fearfully, as his eyes shrank. The blaring was getting louder, the truck was getting closer! Kevin quickly jumped onto Bernard, who threw him back into the van, as he held tightly onto the person grabbing him, everyone else held onto him, and the van, followed by the dinosaur immediately ran off the road, narrowly avoiding colliding into the truck, while it passed by! They could be seen shrinking in the distance in the convertible's rear view mirror by Jose. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." He laughed in satisfaction. The car drove further away. "They're getting away!" Rico exclaimed. The car drove to the left at a fork in the road, heading for a factory, and burst through a locked two door chain link fence gate. This didn't go unseen by the Regulars who caught up a little. "That way!" Kira pointed out. Meanwhile, the robots drove down a ramp, somewhere in the factory grounds, next to a body of water. Jose tried to stop the car, but the break wasn't working, to his instant shock. "Stop the car!" Tasha said. "I'm trying!" Jose was pressing on the break repeatedly, but to no avail, just as he looked from the bottom, they avoided crashing into a stack of oil barrels, but as they turned to the left, they suddenly crashed into a tall lamp! "Ohhhh." Brandon groaned. In fact, all of the robots were fairly damaged in the crash, with metal exposed in some parts, and then the engine set on fire. Jose looked and saw the board game was intact. He grabbed it and he and his comrades got out. "Go, go, go!" The robots were trying to run, but the damaged caused them to run relatively slowly, whirring was made in the air. Then the car completely blew up and sent the robots shortly flying, as they shouted. "What was that?" Asked Esther elsewhere in the factory grounds, the Regulars were drawn by the noise and the van stopped. They looked around, Milo and Bernard saw smoke. "Follow the smoke!" The boy said as he pointed with his finger. The van turned around, followed by Bernard. As the robots got up, the van drove past them, while Bernard stayed behind them, confronting them on one side, and then the Regulars rushed out and blocked them. "Give us back the game! We won it fair and square." Caleb demanded.
"There's no way you're getting this game. Now get out of the way and nobody gets hurt." Responded Jose.
"What could you possibly want with a mere board game?" Asked Amanda. And Brandon spoke out, in a really, really, light Italian accent.
"Well, in general, 55 years ago, we were invented by mechanics from a faction in a secret base in Afghanistan, in order to infiltrate enemy bases and steal whatever was valuable to them and that could be used as an advantage. But after our testing was done, we rebelled, ran off and wanted to live our lives as a group of thieves, we wanted to do things our way. As for the board game, 10 years ago, we knocked over a secret US government base and made off with almost billion's worth of military secrets and they were put in computer chips, we planned to sell them at a secret auction." He pointed to the board game. "Those computer chips are inside the box." Jose punched Brandon for this. "Shut up, Brandon!"
Esther spoke. "I remember reading about that five years ago. I thought that was a tabloid. That was you?"
Jose replied. "Yeah, that's right, bitch. We've been laying low for 10 long years, waiting for the investigation on the theft to be declared a lost cause. And from what we heard, it was supposed to end tonight at midnight."
Tasha joined in. "Mhm. Until you bastards came along and ruined everything."
"Can't we just have the board game without the computer chips? We'll tell absolutely no one about this. I speak for all of us when I say, 'l promise.'"
"Milo!" His family and Bernard scolded.
"It's too late, and you know too much." Jose said. "Mhm." Tasha added. Bernard roared and rammed Jose, while the other two ran off. This caused him to drop the board game, Bernard quickly backed up and Kevin grabbed the board game, but he was grabbed on the leg by Jose. "Hey, give that back!" With no time to waste, with the other two robots rushing for him, Kevin threw the game to Rico. Kira ran off, unable to be quickly grabbed by her mother or oldest sister, the robots came to her group, Rico could see Kira urging for him to throw it as she jumped and waved her arms around. Rico threw the game, Kira ran over, caught the game, and ran off for a short distance. By now, Jose was out of patience. "All right, no more games." He said sternly, approaching her, just as Milo and Marco broke off from the group. He was about to pull out a gun from his jacket. The rest of the family gasped. "No, don't!" Kira screamed in fear in desperation. She was quickly blocked by Milo, who was then blocked by Marco. Bernard was beginning to charge. Suddenly, a floodlight was shined on Jose, who became surprised, and his jaw dropped.
"This is the FBI! You're surrounded!" A male voice shouted through an air horn. In front of everyone, miraculously, a group of FBI agents and soldiers were pointing guns at the musician robots, as they were shown by the floodlight, held by a helicopter. "Get on the ground now!" "Targets are considered hostile. Repeat, targets are considered hostile." Another male voice said through an earphone. One of the gunmen cocked his gun. "Copy that, red leader." He responded, with the gun's scope centered on Jose.
"So what do we do, boss?" Brandon asked.
"We'll do what we always do. Show these people how we have fun."
"Hmm. Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing." Tasha said.
"I'm with you, boss."
"Well then, I guess it's SHOWTIME!" During the commotion, the three hostages in front of him managed to escape. And with that, Jose pulled out two guns from his jacket, firing repeatedly at the agents and soldiers, joined by two his comrades. They managed to avoid the bullets, hiding behind crates and vehicles, while the Regulars and their robots rushed back to the van. The group of gunmen shot down Jose after lots of repetitive mixed shots first, although at first he kept on persisting in shooting for a while despite more of the damages he was getting.
"Eat lead, suckers!" Tasha fired repeatedly at the group with two guns, for 10 minutes, only for them to turn the tables on her, firing at her repeatedly, she kept firing in spite of her damages for 9 minutes. "Ah, oh, eh, ahhhh!" She fell to the ground, motionless. Brandon was the last to go, firing repeatedly at the group with two guns, only for them to dodge the shots. They fired repeatedly at him, but even though he was slowly lowering to the ground, and his clothes and runner human skin were getting grazed apart, like his comrades had went through, he kept firing at them for 8 minutes, until a man launched a rocket at him. "Ha, ha, is that all you-" He looked down to see the rocket inside his chest and his eyes shrank. "Uh oh." The rocket immediately blew him up, scattering metal, wires, and sockets all over the place! There was silence. One of the men raised his gun. Was it all over? Suddenly, Jose quickly got up, now with much of his metallic body exposed! "ARRRGGGGH!" He shouted! "Aaaaagggghhhh!" The Regulars screamed in the van at the sight of this. The agents and soldiers continued to fire intensely at the robot, he kept on walking with clenched fists in spite of his damages! The remains of his clothes and skin were getting grazed off from the barrage of bullets he had gotten, now he was just a robot skeleton! He kept walking, getting ever closer to the gunmen, and his eyes turned blue with no pupils! One man came in with a mini gun, firing endlessly at the robot, in an effort to end his threat once and for all! The mini gun fired a lot, shooting bullets as the cartridges fell to the ground! Finally, Jose was sent flying. "Aaaaaghhh! Oof!" Jose crashed into a speedboat, pushing down on the accelerator lever to the highest speed. The boat sped off into the distance, the helicopter kept the spotlight on it, while one of the man came over and pointed another rocket launcher.
"Smoke 'em." The male voice told him through an earphone. He launched the rocket. The boat sped on for more distance, until it was struck and blown up by the rocket. Meanwhile, the Regulars were left speechless, shocked, and unsettled. Milo asked "Hey um, did we just live a real life version of The Eliminator?"
"Oh-ho-ho-yeah!" The entire family and Marco jumped up in celebration.
*the shot pauses. Cue Don't You Forget About Me, with different still shots, one of them with a fade shot to another still, with descriptive subtitles underneath them*
The Regular family got the board game after the FBI took back the computer chips.
*cut to the remains of the robots on a table, with scientists looking at them*
The FBI took the remains of the Thunder Death gang robots, and the US government placed them in a lab for studying.

*cut to Albert, with the Regulars.*
Albert got the board game the day after his birthday, although he still gave his son and daughter-in-law a well-deserved slap on the cheek and scolding for them putting their lives and their kid's lives in danger before they celebrated…
*cut to Albert playing with Esther, Caleb, Milo, Kira, and Lincoln Loud.*
…and Lincoln Loud was dropped off to the Regular house hours later and got to spend Albert's birthday with him and everyone else.
*cut to the loud house end credits playing, but quicker and with regular show's end credits music.*
A/N: I got some bad news. I learned a previous time ago in March, that the live-action Loud House Christmas movie, which wasn't released last year, will be released this November. For those who know the plot summary and still like Lincoln, this is anything but good. This is a disaster waiting to happen. One can only imagine how the boy that will play the live-action for Lincoln will feel when he gets unnecessary backlash. He shouldn't go through that. Unless the plot gets changed to something more acceptable, and not offensive, or distasteful or anything like those.
