It was the night of Monday, March 31, 1986 and Lincoln is marking April 1st on his calendar which is on a Tuesday that year in his room and his mother Lori was with him.
"If any of you guys are wondering what's happening, the truth is, tomorrow is April Fools' Day. Every year our sister Luan creates a prank apocalypse and no one, I repeat, NO ONE is spared! We present to you Luan Loud's April Fools' Highlight Reel," Lori said to the viewers as they begin 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.
"I'd say this prank's a little over your head!" Luan said as she laughs but Lori growls furiously at her.
After that, they open the door to find the room full of chickens.
"Seems to be your clucky day!" Luan said as she laughs.
Afterwards, the kids are looking at their house all wrapped up in wrapping paper as Luan rips through a window, "I guess that's a wrap!" Luan laughs as Lincoln screams.
Next, the siblings are trapped in a humongous gelatin.
"Aww, look at the Loud Family gettin' jiggly with it!" Luan said as she laughs.
Then, The pets' fur and Walt's feathers got shaved off as Luan held a buzz shaver.
"I shaved the best for last!" Luan said as she laughs and Lori was furious.
"MOM!" Lori shouted furiously as the montage ends.
"See what Mom means? Nobody's safe from that evil pranking genius," Lincoln explained, "But this year's gonna be different. Luan is not gonna prank us!"
"Because we've got an April Fool proof plan," Lori said to the viewers as they both head towards his door, "You're not the only one who can make a pun, Luan! Because Lincoln and I are coming after you!" They open his door to reveal Lily wearing a watermelon helmet, a blue T-shirt and a diaper, Lynn putting on padding, Lola coating herself and Lana in bubble-wrap.
"Bubble-wrap me next!" Lana shouted
"I need more armor," Lucy said with her head inside a gargoyle head.
"Where's my helmet!?" Lynn demanded as Lisa enters in army gear.
"Oh jeez!" Lori said in fear as she pulls her phone out and calls Bobby, "Bobby, I don't mean to brag to you right now but I'm afraid Lincoln and I have to cancel our dates in April."
"What? Why, Lori?" Bobby asked on the phone.
"Because Luan might shave my eyebrows off again! And it takes a month for them to grow back," Lori said in fear, "So I am demanding a state of emergency in the house! Code Red!" She ends the call and puts her phone back in her trenchcoat pocket.
"C'mon Lisa! Let me hunker in your bunker!" Luna begged Lisa.
"You should've been more prepared. We'd known this storm was coming for 364 days." Lisa proclaimed.
Luan then dropped to her knees and started begging, "PLEASE! GIVE ME SHELTER!"
Lori and her son Lincoln walk by whistling when Lola dashes out in front of them.
"Arms up, Lincoln! Your turn for bubble-wrap," Lola demanded before Lori puts her hand in front of Lola.
"Uh uh! Lola, you're not pranking him!" Lori said sternly to Lola.
"Excuse me?" Lola asked, "What did you say?"
"You heard my mother! I'm not getting pranked!" Lincoln shouted.
"I'm not getting pranked either!" Lori agreed with Lincoln while her sisters chatter.
"It's never been done!" Lola said.
"Are you crazy?" Lynn said out loud.
"Come on, everybody! Mom and I have got a plan!" Lincoln explained, "We're simply gonna lock ourselves in our room till the day's over. We've got snacks, movies and a hose to pee in, which I call the Tinkle Tube. Patent pending."
"Ew!" Leni, Luna, Lynn, Lucy, Lola all replied but Lana said "Cool!" instead.
"Wow, Lincoln. That's very gross, but satisfying and cool like Lana said," Lori said.
"It goes out the window!" Lincoln said as he points to the window, "The point is, I'll never have to leave my room... er...I mean, our room... so Luan will never get us."
"That's... actually a good plan, Lincoln," Lori said when suddenly, the siblings look frightened as Luan comes upstairs while holding a sausage.
"Ooh! It's Pranksmas Eve...and I'm just bubbling with excitement," Luan said as she pops a piece of Lola's bubble wrap and walks away.
"I'm gonna need more bubble wrap! And a fresh pair of undies," Lola said.
"Thanks for the lumber, Lana! I'll return it on April 2nd," Lincoln said as he and Lori walk away with lumber..
"Mahogany was a good choice," Lana agreed, "That'll hold nicely."
Lincoln then closes his door while his mother Lori uses the drill to seal the nails and Mahogany on it, then she puts a chair by the doorknob. She then gets her phone out and calls Clyde, "Hey, Clyde, wanna hang out with us tomorrow? My kids and I built us a fortress with snacks, movies and a Tinkle Tube. Patent pending."
"On Pranksgiving? No way! Not after what happened last year," Clyde said which shocked Lori.
"Uh, excuse me?" Lori said in fear.
It then flashback to what happened during the past April Fool's Day in 1985 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. This causes Lori to snap and go after Luan. The flashback ends as Clyde looks a little scared.
"But guess what? Nothing's gonna happen this year. My kids and I have got an April Foolproof plan in action," Lori said on the phone, "Now I gotta call Ronnie Anne and have her speak to Lincoln," Lori then hangs up on Clyde and calls Ronnie Anne.
"Hello, who is it?" Ronnie Anne asked on the phone.
"This is your mother, Lori Santiago, speaking on the phone. I think this phone call is for my son, Lincoln," She hands the phone to Lincoln, "Lincoln, it's Ronnie Anne, I think she wants to talk to you."
Lincoln became eager to speak with her on the phone, "Hi, Ron. I'm so glad you could call right now."
"How's it coming, man?" Ronnie Anne asked on the phone.
"This is very urgent! Luan's unleashing her pranks again this year!" Lincoln said on the phone in fear.
"Not to worry, bro. I'm coming over tomorrow with a present for them," Ronnie Anne said as she hangs up as Lincoln becomes shocked by this.
"She's coming over tomorrow!" Lincoln said in fear, "She'll get nailed by Luan's pranks and then pulverize us!
"Ooh. It looks like we gotta get Luan to call off Prankapalooza, appeal to her humanity, and we'll Beg if we both have to!" Lori explained.
"Good idea! Just as soon as I get the Mahogany off the door!" Lincoln said as he and Lori try 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.
"Luan! You gotta call off Prankageddon! Please! Ronnie Anne is coming over tomorrow and I can't let her or Mom get pranked!
"Okay." Luan said softly.
"Really! Wow that was easier than I..." Lincoln said.
"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!" Luan said as she laughs insanely.
"Okay, Luan! You want to be a menace this year? Well, let's see how you like it when my kids and I try to outsmart you this year!" Lori said sternly, "So I've got one last thing to say to you before I storm out!"
"And what is it?" Luan asked.
"Beat it, you little bitch!" Lori shouted as she and Lincoln storm back to their room, put the Mahogany back on his door and call Clyde.
"Clyde! Pleading with Luan did not work! She's an animal!" Lincoln said as he hears a cat noise, "What was that?"
"Oh, that's Cleopawtra," Clyde explained, "She's been feisty lately so we put her in a timeout crate."
"Timeout crate. That's it!" Lincoln said as they run away to brainstorm his idea and he and Lori try to pull the Mahogany off the door, "Why did I choose Mahogany?"
At the basement, Lincoln flicks the lamp on, "Okay, we're all here? Good! So, about Luan..." Lincoln said to everyone who's not Luan.
"Shh! She's got ears everywhere!" Lola said as she turns on the washing machine, "I saw this in a mob movie once. She won't hear us over the noise.
"We all know tomorrow is going to be awful," Lincoln said in fear.
"But it doesn't have to be," Lori explained, "If we all combine forces, we can prevent Luan from setting up any pranks in the first place."
"Uhhh, how exactly are we gonna do that?" Lynn asked.
"Let us tell you our plan," Lincoln explained.
"Better make it snappy. We're almost done with the spin cycle," Lisa explained.
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. 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.
"GRRRRRR! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Luan screamed in rage.
"Okay," Lincoln said softly.
"Really? Wow! That was easier than I..." Luan said surprisingly.
"APRIL FOOLS! We aren't letting you out until Wednesday!" Lincoln shouted as the other sisters begin to cheer.
"That was a crate plan, Lincoln!" Lynn said as the siblings laugh during a rimshot.
"I've been crating for this moment all my life! I'm definitely proud of you, sweetheart," Lori said sweetly as she pats Lincoln on the head and hugs him and The siblings are in awe.
"Well, better crate than never!" Lana said as he siblings laugh again.
"You're in a crate!" Leni said but the other siblings don't seem to get it, "Did you all get it?"
"Maybe we should just go to bed," Lincoln said.
"Yeah, I'm sleeping with him, guys. Because I feel much safer when it's just me and Lincoln sleeping together," Lori said, "The only asshole I really see is Luan herself."
The siblings laugh again as they all then go to bed and sleep for the night, with Lori sleeping with Lincoln.
Tuesday, April 1, 1986
Luna is heard screaming. The cage is now broken, meaning that Luan just escaped, much to the horror of everyone.
"We're doomed! Luan escaped, and now she's gonna be mad!" Lola panicked.
"Oh, dear. This isn't good," Lori panicked," This is not good!"
"How could this have happened?!" Lincoln demanded.
"She's a black magic woman, dude!" Luna said.
"We got to get my money back for these," Lincoln said as he pulls the loose chain. Suddenly, it sets up a bucket full of honey that spills on both him and Lori, followed by a blast of feathers while the sisters gasp in surprise.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRR LUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!" Lori shouted in absolute rage.
"Peace out. I'll be in my bunker," Lisa said as she dashes off.
"Everyone else to my room!" Lincoln barked, "We'll be safe there!"
"Go! Go! Go! Quick before Luan gets you!
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.
"What is all this ruckus about?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Luan's on the loose! EVERYONE, TAKE COVER!" Lori shouted.
"But we thought you locked her up!" Rita said.
"Yes, BUT SHE BROKE OUT!" Lori shouted in fear.
"Plan B! RETREAT! RETREAT!" Lynn Sr. screamed as he and Rita run back downstairs and Lori runs up to Lincoln's room with the others. Meanwhile, the phone rings and Lori picks up.
"Hello? Who is this on the phone?" Lori said on the phone.
"It's Ronnie Anne Santiago and I'm on my way to give your sisters a lesson for these pranks," Ronnie Anne said on the phone.
Lori becomes excited and shouted, "Ahhh, Thank god. Lincoln! Ronnie Anne's on her way!"
"Really? She is?" Lincoln said in excitement.
"Wait? You're gonna prank us, Ronnie? Can't talk now if you're gonna say that," Lori informed as she hangs up. She and Lincoln then head bang their heads 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 them, "Well, that's my answer. But on the plus side, that's one less prank Ronnie Anne could suffer," Lori then gets an idea, "One less prank? Hey, That's it! If we set off all the pranks in the house, there won't be any left for her."
"Lincoln! Lori! It's not safe out there!" Lynn explained.
"Save yourselves! Mom and I have got a job to do," Lincoln informed.
"Don't worry, Lincoln, I'll plan your funeral," Lucy said as the sisters close Lincoln's bedroom door and puts Mahogany on it. Lori helps Lincoln put on a helmet and he takes out the house map and circles kitchen.
"We'll start by de-pranking the kitchen," Lincoln replied as he and Lori both go downstairs and look at a sign that says "Kitchen this way" while it points the open front door, "Kitchen this way? Ha! Does she think I'm dumb enough to fall for that?"
"Well, of course she is! Because she's acting like a menace today this year again!" Lori said as they take the original route and go into the kitchen and find grease on the floor.
"Well, here goes nothing," Lincoln said as he and Lori cautiously walk on the grease trap causing a boot contraption to kick the them into the fridge while a box falls on their head. As they get up, they slip on the grease, opens the fridge door, and are socked right in the face by a boxing glove on a spring. The force of impact finally propels them into the stove.
"OW!" Lincoln screamed in agony as his helmet breaks apart, and a bunch of vicious raccoons pop out of the stove and attack them as he screams in pain.
"Oh no! Lincoln, are you all right?" Lori asked before Luan pops in from the other room.
"I made that dish from scratch!" Luan said but Lori growls at her furiously in response, knowing that Luan will be in serious trouble.
In the backyard, the Loud siblings' parents are at Lisa's shelter with their armed gear.
"Lisa Marie Loud! Let us in!" Rita shouted as Lynn Sr. knocks on the shelter.
"I'll need some of your assurances in return!" Lisa explained, "One, I will never again be punished for the explosions in or around the house!"
"Happy April Stools!" Luan said with a pile of stinky diapers as she prepares to aim one with a slingshot towards her parents.
"Are those diapers?" Rita asked, "She wouldn't!"
"Whatever you want! Just let us in!" Lynn Sr. shouted as he frantically pounds the shelter before Lisa opens the shelter while holding a contract.
"Sign here, here and initials here," Lisa said as the parents sign their names. Afterwards, they hide while Luan shoots diapers at them. Meanwhile, back inside the house Lori and Lincoln look at the map and find a flying flour in the bathroom.
"Perfect," Lori said as they catch it, but the flour has a timer to explode and they both gasp, "TAKE COVER!" The flour explodes and Lincoln and Lori start coughing as they find the sink to turn it on, but the water splashes them.
"Towel! Towel! Towel! Where's the towel?" Lori said in fear as they blindly search for a towel, but she finds a raccoon and uses it to wipe themselves but after they open their eyes, they find out they have one and they both scream as they run away from it.
"Don't give up, no one likes a critter!" Luan said as she laughs but Lori became extremely angry with Luan.
Back in Lincoln's room...
"I think if we ration the food, we should be okay." Lisa informed.
"What does 'ration' mean?" Lana asked as she eats a bag of chips and drinks apple juice. The others glare at her as she realizes her mistake.
"Typical! Now someone has to go into the kitchen for more supplies!" Lola scoffed as Leni, Luna, Lynn, and Lucy all talk at once.
"Let's draw straws!" Lana remarked.
"I'll just go. I know I'm gonna lose. I'm a terrible artist." Leni said sarcastically.
"Actually, that's not what-" Lucy said before Lori covers her mouth.
"Good luck, Leni!" Leni said as she and the other girls shove Leni out of Lincoln's room and put the Mahogany back on the door.
Leni then makes it downstairs and finds a sign that says "Kitchen this way" and reads it, "Kitchen this way? I have a feeling Luan might be up to no good again!" Leni said sarcastically as she finds another sign that says the same thing. Thank you, sign!" she then finds another sign. "Thank you, sign! Thank you, sign!" She keeps following them into the town to parts unknown. Meanwhile, back in the living room.
"Okay. Living room. So far, so good," Lincoln said as he looks at the map.
"Yep. It sure is," Lori agreed. when suddenly, a a red line comes when they both cross 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.
"I think this is how you kiss a girl," Lincoln said as he kisses the Edwin balloon.
"Don't hold back, Lincoln. Girls like a guy with passion!" Clyde said as Lincoln kisses the balloon and it pops and the video loops.
"Who the hell would record something this disturbing?" Lori asked disturbingly.
"We can't let Ronnie Anne see this!" Lincoln said as he goes on the couch, "Stop! Stop!" They try to stop the film, but the couch has a spring and they go up the ceiling and get stuck by sticky flypapers. They falls down to the couch and goes back up.
"Looks like spring is in the air." Luan laughs as Lori screams.
"Just got to finish the bedrooms!" Lincoln said while he looks at the map as the house's exterior is shown as he and Lori are getting attacked by Luan's pranks. Afterwards, They are tired, beat up and dirtied as they get a call from Clyde. Lori then picks up the call.
"Guys! What's happening? Lucy just invited me to your funeral!" Clyde said on the phone.
Lincoln then takes a mouse trap out of his eye and screams, "OW!"
"You are not going to believe this! Lincoln and I have been setting off all the pranks in the house so Ronnie Anne doesn't get hit," Lori said as she lifts Lincoln's shoe as sand pours out," We've gone through every room except mine and Leni's," But Clyde hangs up, "Clyde? Hello?" The doorbell rings as they goes downstairs to open the door.
"Greetings, fellow Loud," Clyde greeted to Lori and Lincoln, "I volunteer to clear your room," Clyde goes to Lori and Leni's room offscreen as he gets attacked by Luan's pranks, "Well, it was worth it.
"Yeah, my room really smells like apple cinnamon," Lori said in fear.
"That might be this pie," Lincoln said as he points to the pie on his head and sighs, "Well, that's it. The Loud House is prank free!" Lincoln then high-fives Clyde as the latter walks away and faints. Ronnie Anne arrives and is surprised when Clyde faints, before looking annoyed.
"I won! You thought you'd outsmart me, but you got the worst pranking ever!" Luan said as Ronnie Anne arrived.
"You didn't really win, Luan. Lori and I only set off the pranks because Ronnie Anne was coming over," Lincoln explained as Ronnie Anne looks rather touched at hearing him say this.
"Yeah! Well who do you think invited her over, genius?" Luan said as 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."
Lori and Lincoln then turn to Ronnie Anne, who pulls out a pie, with a villainous-looking smile on her face.
"BRACE YOURSELVES!" Lori shouted in fear as Lincoln braces for impact, and a splat is heard... but he isn't hit.
"Wait, What?" As they open their eyes, they find out that she instead threw the pie in Luan's face.
"But Ronnie Anne. Why'd you do that?" Lori asked.
"You took all those pranks for me. But hey, It's the least I could do," Ronnie Anne commented, "Come on, Mom. Let's draw some eyebrows on you and go get a milkshake."
"Yeah. Let's do it!" Lori said as the three leave the house and Luan said, "That girl's a keeper!"
"I HEARD THAT!" Lori said sternly off-screen.
Soon afterwards, the family come out of their hidings and are relieved that the prankfest is over.
"I think it's over!" Lynn Sr. said as the other seven sisters and their niece Lily agreed.
"Wait! Where's Leni?" Rita asked.
"Yeah. Where the hell is she?" Luna asked.
"I have my suspicions," Lisa replied looking at the "Kitchen this way" sign.
"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.
"LUAN!" They all shouted furiously in unison.
"Aw, the end of April Fools always make me feel a little blue," Luan said as she laughed but suddenly...
"Luan, we're going to the town and you must clean the house and get rid of the all damages you caused," Rita yelled.
"Eh, totally worth it. Alright I will take care of it," Luan commented.
"If you don't or make another prank, your pocket money will be suspended and also you'll be grounded for 3 months," Lynn Sr. said.
"3 months?," Luan asked terrified, "I'm starting right now!"
In same time, Lori, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne went to the mall. Lincoln went to bathroom to clean himself. Ronnie Anne draw him eyebrows. Lori took a photo of all three of them together. They tried to enjoy their milkshakes. Suddenly they detected Leni in the mall.
"Leni! What are you doing here?" Lincoln asked.
"Oh, hey, Lincoln. Hey, Lori. I'm going to the kitchen fo..." but Leni realized what happened, "My God! What happened to him?"
"It was Luan. All scars are from her jokes," Lori said.
"My poor, little brother," Leni said sadly, "You and your mother both deserve some reward for giving me and all of us shelter in his room."
"So, why aren't you with the others?" Lincoln asked, "Wait, let me guess. You followed signs "Kitchen", right?"
"Yes, you're so smart," Leni said.
"I feel like I'm talking to my bro instead," Ronnie Anne said, "That was also Luan's joke. You're in the mall, not the kitchen."
"Oh, how could I not notice about this? I'll discuss with the other sisters about a reward for you both when we're back home," Leni said as she, Lori and Lincoln lead Ronnie Anne back to her home and then they went to their home. Luan greeted them and the house was clean and shiny.
"The house normally looks like a tornado passed there but this time it reminds me of Clyde's house and Ronnie Anne's as well," Lincoln remarked.
"Do you think I couldn't clean whole mess you caused?" Luan asked nervously.
"Well, you set all the traps," Lori said sternly.
"And you were stupid enough to willingly go to them all," Luan said nervously.
"Stop it! Stop it right now!" Leni said angrily.
"Yeah! Lincoln looked like a victim of a torturer because of your pranks!" Lori said sternly.
"Well guess what?! At least I don't have hand skin destroyed by detergents!" Lincoln shouted.
"Yes, that's right. Dry broken skin is never pleasant and it may lead to skin diseases like sunburns," Lori said sternly to Luan.
"What? Do I have damaged hands?" Luan asked terrified and watched her hands.
"No, you don't. Lincoln, I understand you and your mother are still angry but don't lie to her!" Leni said.
"Leni, it was a sarcasm!" Lori explained before the rest of the family arrived, "Leni! You're back!"
Back home, they all explained what happened earlier today.
"Where did the sign "Kitchen" lead you?" Lincoln asked to Leni.
"Why are you all blue?" Leni asked Lori.
Lori then explained, "1. It led her to the mall where we were at, and 2. It was another one of Luan's pranks."
"Luan! To your room! Now!" Lynn Sr. yelled.
"Don't get so angry, I cleaned whole house and I assure you there is no prank anymore," Luan replied with crossed fingers behind going to her room.
"Her comedy demon possesses her every April Fools," Lucy commented angrily, "I feel each time it's worse."
"Well, I know how much Luan is possessed by these April Fool demons!" Leni said angrily, "That would literally explain all! She has gone way too far this year!"
"It looks like you are right, Leni!" Lucy said angrily.
"Then I was right to be angry for Luan from the start!" Leni said angrily, "We could have been damaged! Our poor bros have both suffered big time, they took all her pranks for herself!
"Lincoln, you look awful," Lola commented sadly, "For giving us room as a shelter I'll give you a make up to cover the scars and bruises."
"Guys, we must ensure Luan won't do it again," Luna commented, "Even now I'm afraid of sharing a room with her."
"You know, maybe you should be roommates with Lincoln then," Lori replied, "It won't be a problem."
"We will discuss it but not here, Luan can hear us," Lincoln said with determinated tone when suddenly, Bobby arrived at the door with 10 boxes of pizza in his hand.
"Bobby honey! You're here!" Lori said excitedly, "Oh thank goodness, I'm safe for once and... oh my, what's all that you got in your hand?"
"Oh, this, dear? I actually brought you all 10 pizzas, "Bobby explained.
"Thank you, pizza party is coming," Lynn Jr. said excited.
"But guys, we didn't order so many pizzas," Lynn Sr. commented.
"It's been ordered on your surname," Bobby explained, "Those boxes can't return to the restaurant so please be merciful and pay me as I brought it in time."
"Luan!" The whole Loud family said in unison.
"I will pay. I'll suspend Luan's pocket money until it reaches the price of the pizza," Rita explained.
"At least we won't be hungry," Lana said and took a slice of pizza to her mouth, "Bleh! Wasabi and broccoli! It's too much for me.
"You know what? Today, Luan has really gone too far so many times today," Lori said sternly.
"I doubt being grounded will make her stop," Rita said.
"We must take radical measures," Lincoln said to Bobby, "Dad, please take me, Mom, Lily and Lola to your house."
"Always for my beloved, my kids and ehh..." Bobby didn't know what to say about Lola much to her annoyance, "the cutest sister of my beloved girl."
"Hmm, not bad," Lola said.
At the Santiago House, Ronnie was surprised her father Bobby brought home 4 Louds including Lily.
"Lincoln, that's unexpected. Nice joke," Ronnie commented, "Oh, and Mom and Lily came with you. Nice."
"Ronnie, that's not a joke, we're all here in serious business," Lincoln said, "And thank you for welcoming us here."
"All fine but we're here to discuss far from Luan," Lola commented.
With that, they all sit at the table in dinning room in the Santiago House.
"We gathered here to solve our problem on 4 letters, Luan," Lincoln began a debate, "She already outsmarted me but combined intelligence of us all will make her no match for us."
"Why only the four of us, hon?" Lori asked softly, "All of us want to serve justice to Luan."
"We are four of the most brilliant minds in the family, that's why," Lincoln replied, "We don't have time for any of our brainstorming."
"Well, Lincoln, I actually like this idea," Lori replied as their debate began to sound like a song.
"We are smart siblings, are we not?"
"And our interests are the same"
"We collaborate and trust in our brains parcel out the blame"
"There are ends we've all got that can justify the means"
"Let's debate and fabricate the facts behind the scenes"
"Keeping all the details vague and secrets hidden safe from the balanced sheet of those you trust because perfect plans are formed by the winners of the fight"
"You imply a little, Lie a little, testifying"
"Try a little Chester (Luan)"
"Who's gonna question what goes on in the middle of the night? Not the thinker (Lisa), Not the tailor (Leni), Not our father or our mother, Or the singer (Luna)"
"So we all are agreed, let's be vigilant and wise"
"We must all pretend our annoying sis was caught in her own lies"
"For our plan to succeed one belief we must share Luan Loud quits for good her prank carrier"
"What she'll do instead of comedy is beyond our concern now and only our planning we must keep"
"Because perfect plans are made by the ones who bend the laws"
"We supply a little lie to help the gullible to buy a little fable"
"What will become of the righteous ones who fashioned Luan's flaws?"
"The smart and well respected and always invited at our table"
"Ronnie will comfort us in this time of grief and anguish and I'll be ever faithful to Ronnie's love"
"Every time, but part of me wishes Luan didn't have to languish but I can see it's her or me"
"Let her sit somewhere and sob till she's broken, Let her sob!"
"Perfect plans are made by the people who survive"
"Let me sign and then initial"
"It's the truth if it's officially the plan"
"What if the cost is one dumb gal so nine more and me can survive?"
"He's a price we have to pay so live and fight another day for love and glory"
"She was standing in the way a threat to justice this day"
"So goes the plan!"
"Stick to the plan!"
"Let's execute our plan!" They all shouted together as they were all ready to give Luan payback.
Wednesday, April 2, 1986
That morning, Luan was about to wake up but Luna grabbed her bedsheet and pulled to make her fall from her bed.
"Luna, what's this about?" Luan asked annoyed.
"You shall tell me," Luna replied angry," Just watch," Luna showed Luan her camera recording on which Luna stands up from her bed , walks during sleep and returns after several hours.
"I was sleepwalking?" Luan asked surprised "I thought I only say jokes during my sleep."
"Tricking my bro and giving him such suffering wasn't enough for you?!" Luna asked rethorically, "For what you did the last night you no longer live here!"
"What are you talking about?" Luan asked confused, "I don't remember anything I did at night except for sleeping."
"Your amnesia won't save you," Luna said angry, "I'm glad you still go middle school because I won't see you at high school today. To the end of the day I want you to move from my room."
"Where shall I live then and who will take my place?" Luan asked depressed.
"That's not my concern!" Luna replied coldly.
Luan was behind Leni to the bathroom. Luan heard Leni's scream and opened the door. She was shocked on sight of Leni with no hair on head and had mascara bleeding down her cheeks and was furious.
Leni then furiously screamed out, "Luan! You replaced my special healing shampoo with depilation cream!"
"I didn't do this!" Luan denied, "Please, Leni!"
"Only you could do this!" Leni yelled, "Don't deny it!"
"Where is your hair then? Why isn't it on the floor?" Luan asked confused.
"Well, let me explain this to you," Leni explained angrily, "This cream melts hair!"
"Wow! It was really bold of me or rather bald," Luan said laughing.
"Don't joke ever again!" Leni yelled angrily and then cried, "My hair was growing my whole life to be like they were until today. Now I have to wait another 16 years for them to regrow. Then I will be old and ugly and no boyfriend will want to date with me! I will be a single old lady because of you, you ungrateful twerp!"
"Leni, I'm sorry," Luan said sadly ,"I will make myself bald to be even with you."
"I don't care what you do anymore!" Leni yelled, "After what you did to my sister and her kids and me you are our sister no more! Begone, twerp!"
Luan ran from the bathroom and accidentally was stopped by Lori. She was even angrier at Luan than Leni was, to the point where her face was red hot, her temperature boiled and also had rivers of mascara down her face like Leni and was extremely furious and outraged with Luan.
"What did I do to you?" Luan asked terrified.
"YOU INSENSITIVE UNGRATEFUL DESPICABLE INSIGNIFICANT MONSTER!" Lori shouted angrily at Luan even worse than Leni did, "I AM SO FREAKING ANGRY WITH YOU RIGHT NOW! I DISCOVERED LAST NIGHT, YOU WERE TALKING WITH BOBBY ON MY PHONE!"
"I wouldn't date with my sister's boyfriend," Luan claimed.
"THAT'S WHAT I FREAKING NEED AS MUCH AS MY KIDS!" Lori still screamed angrily at Luan, "BECAUSE YOU SAID SUCH DISGUSTING AND AWFUL THINGS TO BOBBY THAT HE BROKE UP WITH ME! AND WHAT'S WORSE?! HE SAID THAT HE IS GOING TO DATE MY FRIEND CAROL NOW! CAROL! FREAKING! PINGREY!"
"Why do you all blame me?" Luan asked.
"WHY DO WE BLAME YOU?! I'LL TELL YOU WHY WE ALL BLAME YOU, LUAN MAXIME LOUD! WE ALL KNOW IT IS YOUR GODDAMN FAULT! EVEN IN SLEEP, YOU'RE INSECURE! IT WON'T BE A SORORICIDE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT MY SISTER ANYMORE! THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE NOW ARE JUST MY TWO KIDS, LINCOLN AND LILY," Lori shouted angrily at Luan before she escaped screaming.
Luan took secretly some bread from kitchen to make a breakfast for herself. She got dressed and escaped right to her school. She was terrified that she could pull such cruel pranks in sleep. During her classes she tried to act normal. During one of the breaks she met Lynn nervously walking with a bitter face. Some student shouted to her "Hello, Lynnudist!" and laughed. Lynn punched the wall in anger and then stared on Luan.
"Lu-an," Lynn said angry, "You're in deep trouble!"
"What did I do to you?," Luan asked, "Whatever I did it was sleepwalking."
"It changes nothing!," Lynn yelled, "Today I had P.E. at the pool. You sank my swimsuit in some strange substance that gets active in water! As a result, my swimsuit got completely melted while I was swimming in the pool and I was caught naked! I was humiliated in eyes of whole my class and they laughed at me and took photos of me naked with their cameras! All because of your sick sense of madness!"
"Fascinating idea but I don't think I would have such idea," Luan commented, "It couldn't be me."
"Remember when Lincoln humiliated me last year?" Lynn asked, "Well guess what?!You just made it a hundred times worse! I'll punch you till you'll stop breathing," Lynn said rubbing her fists.
"Oh, the break is over," Luan commented.
"I will deal with you later," Lynn said, "I have more important business right now."
Luan left school before Lynn so she could reach the house earlier. Luan couldn't believe she's able to hurt her siblings like that. She was terrified that she doesn't even remember this. At house she heard crying coming from the twins' room.
"My pets, my poor pets," Lana said crying on her knees, "I can't believe this. How could she do this?"
"What did I do?" Luan asked.
"You!" Lana yelled still crying, "You used Lola's cosmetics to give them make up. Due to an allergic reaction on them, Izzy, Hops, El Diablo, they all died!"
"This can't be," Luan said devastated, "I could not do this."
"But you did!" Lana yelled, "All because of your insanity!"
"Where are they?" Luan asked.
"Lucy prepares their funeral. You are not invited," Lana replied, "Leave me in my pain, you animal killer!"
Luan felt worse and worse with every piece of information she received. She came to Lynn's room to check if she's still there. Instead she saw on Lucy's part of the room paper sheets. On those sheets were drawings showing various ways of killing. Luan realized Lucy expresses her anger this way because she did something terrible to her. The scariest on those drawings were smears of red paint presenting blood. On door to Lisa's room Luan found a letter to her. She read it loudly, "Luan, You changed labels of my flasks with chemicals for your sick fun. I caused some chemical reactions and because I used wrong components, now my room is toxic forever and I look like a monster. I left to find genetic scientists who will undo what you did to me, your ex-sister Lisa."
"No, no!" Luan said to herself, "My pranks caused damages I can't fix. Why am I such a monster?"
"I wonder if I didn't inherit such genes of evil," Lincoln said as he and Lori both appeared behind Luan, both glaring angrily at them and Lori was still furiously mad with her.
"Lori... Lincoln..." Luan said terrified, "I'm sorry for whatever I did to you both.
"You're lucky you don't have to see this," Lincoln replied revealing whole his head is bandaged, "I am not so lucky because only I suffer this in the first place and no apology will fix it."
"Sister, brother, please, show me mercy," Luan begged on knees, "Please don't hate me!"
"Hate is not proper name for what we feel to you!" Lori said angrily, "Because of your prank Lincoln's face is an abomination! I don't care how our parents will punish you because it won't change fact that to end of our days we have to suffer because of you!"
"I'll find a job to pay for your operation. Just give me a chance," Luan said crying, "I am not able to live hated by my family. Please don't disown me."
"Now you know what how I felt once because I simply wanted to be with my mom and my sister Lily more than the others," Lincoln said angrily.
"And it is because there is no worse feeling," Lori said angrily, "It's a fate worse than death!"
"There she is!" Lola arrived and shouted.
"Luan!" The rest of the sisters except Lisa and Lily came and yelled
"What have I done?" Luan asked looking at her angry siblings, "How could I do this? I don't even remember how."
"You feel so guilty you don't want to remember this," Lola said, "Do you know why I wear Lana's clothes?"
"No and I fear I don't want to know," Luan answered heartbroken.
"You cut holes in all my gowns!" Lola said very angry, "Buy me new ones or you'll know my vengeance!"
Luna, Lori and Leni sang "You Give Love a Bad Name" with some words changed.
Shot through the heart and you're to blame!
Luan, you give pranking a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised us heaven then put us through hell
Chains of fools got a hold on us, when pranking's a prison you can't break free
Oh! You're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh! There's nowhere to run
No one can save us, the damage is done
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame!
You give pranking a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give pranking a bad name!
Paint your smile on your lips, blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa! You're a loaded gun
Whoa! There's nowhere to run
No one can save us, the damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame!
You give pranking a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give pranking a bad name (Bad name)
"Luna, we know rest of the song," Lincoln stopped the song.
"Dammit! I wanted to finish it," Luna said.
"I'm sincerely sorry. I did terrible things to you because I'm an insane prankster," Luan begged, "I'll do anything to restore your trust in me. I am ready to quit my pranking career. I rather do this than be hated and disowned by my family. Tell me what to do and I'll do it immediately."
"First I'll show you my face to make you never forget your cruelty, "Lincoln said as he started slowly removing bandages from his face
"I don't wanna see this," Luan said sadly.
"You won't escape from this," Lynn replied angrily, "Watch your work and reap what you saw.
"Watch me!" It reveals that his face is perfectly fine.
"I don't get it. You said I destroyed your face," Luan said confused.
"We can all stop playing this charade," Luna replied.
"Finally, I have enough of this bald wig," Leni said as she reveals that she's not bald at all.
"You pretended this all? It was a hoax?" Luan asked.
"Yes," everyone said in unison.
"Wow, guys, you made me an incredible joke," Luan said, "I really believed you hate me because I made pranks to you as a sleep walker. What an irony!
"This still can happen," Lori said, "You didn't do any of those things but now you know what will happen to you if you ever do this."
"You brought this on yourself," Luna said, "You can't pull hurting pranks on your family and expect no consequences."
"After such trauma I surely won't do this," Luan replied, "I sincerely promise to not make hurting pranks to you. This time I'm not joking and I don't have crossed fingers."
"Maybe we went too far too but you left us no other choice," Lincoln explained, "Parents punished you many times for this and promised you rewards if you change. Neither way ever worked so we took a radical method. Nothing changes people more than trauma.
"All to give you a lesson that you shall think of consequences if you plan to pull pranks," Lola said, "Use your imagination to predict if your pranks can hurt your victims."
"And remember that pranks are supposed to amuse everybody and not to hurt them," Leni commented.
"You're got me," Luan said, "All was well prepared. I congratulate you determination."
"We were ten against you alone after all," Lori commented.
"I have a question," Luan said, "I already know the video Luna showed me was fake, Lori and Lola simply lied me, Leni wore wig and Lincoln just mask. But where are Lana's pets?"
"My pets are in safe place alive and well," Lana said, "In the basement and I'll go for them right now."
"I paid this student to shout this "Lynnudist" on sight of us both," Lynn explained, "All to make you believe you committed those crimes.
"What a relief that it all was just a hoax but I have my lesson. I will ensure my pranks won't hurt anybody anymore. I shall think about amusing the others and not just myself. Now I know what my brother once felt. Like he said being hated by family is a fate worse than death. I rather end with comedy than suffer this. I have a lot to do so all my siblings could trust me again. One thing is certain April Two also rules for them," Luan said as they all enjoyed their time together in the house.
