Chapter 9: For Your Loud

Outside, Lincoln was chewing bubblegum that he, Leni and Clyde bought. He was trying to blow a bubble but it wasn't easy for him. Leni came up to him.

"Lincoln, let me show you how it's done."

Leni chewed her gum and started to blow a bubble.

"Nice job Leni." Clyde commented.

However, Leni's bubble was getting too big.

"Uh Leni, I think you're overdoing it." Clyde backs away from the bubble. "Inhale Leni! Reverse your breathing!"

Leni's big bubble caused her to float off.

"Uh oh. I've got you Leni!" Lincoln grabbed Leni by the legs but he wasn't strong enough to pull her. He floated off into the air with Leni. "Help!"

"Guys! Stay calm!" Clyde yelled. "Man, that gum is powerful."

As Leni and Lincoln were floating in the air, Lucy's friend, Boris, who was flying with his bats, got caught in the bubblegum bubble.

"Help. Boris is stuck." The spooky kid said in a stoic tone.

"Boris?" Lincoln asked. "Where did you come from?"

"Boris was headed to the Morticians Club."

Clyde was running after them and noticed Boris. "Who is that guy?"

Lincoln looked down at Clyde. "Hey Clyde, this gum is indestructible."

They were now floating over the Loud House. Chandler rode by on his bike and he saw the trio floating in the air with the bubble. "Wow. It's a dork float. Would be really bad if that bubble popped." Chandler smiled deviously and got out a slingshot and a baseball from his backpack. He fired the ball at the bubble, popping it. "Awesome."

The three kids were falling. Lincoln and Leni landed through the roof of the house while Boris landed in the front yard, ending up underground. He came out and found himself in China.

"Wow, China. Just like in the cartoons."

Clyde entered the house and ran upstairs. "If I predicted correctly, they should have landed in-"

He went to the twins room. "-Lana and Lola's room!"

The room was now a mess. There were holes in the ceiling, things were torn and things were broken. Leni came out from under a sheet. "That was fun!"

"Leni, do you realize you destroyed the twins room?" Clyde said.

Lincoln was lying on the ground.

"Lincoln, get up!" Clyde grabbed him by the arm. "We need to find tacks, fabric, and a lathe!"

Lincoln got up. It's revealed he was lying on Lola's diary.

"Hey, it's Lola's diary. Maybe we could read some of it."

"I don't think we should." Leni said.

"Leni's right." Clyde said. "A diary has a written record of one's private and personal thoughts. We definitely shouldn't read it."

"Ok, fine."

Then they heard the twins. They were walking upstairs.

"Ew! That's gross Lana!"

"What? Worms and spaghetti go great together."

"It's the twins!" Leni panicked. "We are totes dead!"

"Quick! Let's get outta here!" Lincoln, Clyde and Leni run into the bathroom and the twins come up and go to their room. They see it's a complete mess and are shocked.

"Our room!" Lana said.

"Who did this?!" Lola yelled. "Wait till I get my hands on that person!" Lola then became sad and began to cry. "My room's a wreck!"

"Our room." Lana corrected. "It looks like a twister hit this place."

"Oh Lana, this is a full pager for my diary." She then realized her diary was missing. "MY DIARY!"

Clyde peeked out of the bathroom. "Guys, we're in trouble now. Who knows what Lola will do to us!"

"Oh, I know what she's gonna do and it won't be fresh linen." Leni said.

"Well put, Leni."

Lincoln looked like he had something behind his back.

"Let's leave before Lola finds out it was us." Lincoln said.

They sneaked downstairs and left the house. The twins were searching for the diary.

"I'm sure it'll turn up sis." Lana said.

Lola growled. "WHERE IS IT?!"

"Wow Lola, can you yell any louder?" Luna said as she was standing next to the twins' room.

"Take a hike, rock queen!" Lola retorted.

Lynn showed up too.

"Someone trashed our room and Lola's diary is missing." Lana explained.

"That's terrible, dude." Luna said.

"Yeah, whoever did this is gonna be grounded." Lynn said.

"We can help you find it." Luna suggested.

"We can?" Lynn said. Luna elbowed her. "I mean sure, why not?"

Meanwhile, Lincoln, Clyde and Leni were in the backyard.

"Ok, so far there's no sign of Lola." Clyde said when he looked around. Lincoln had his back turned. He was quietly laughing about something. Leni and Clyde noticed this. Lincoln then turned around and noticed the two staring, then smiled nervously.

"Is there something you'd like to share with us?" Clyde asked.

"Um, no."

Leni lifted up her brother by the leg and held him upside down.

"Hey!"

"Hand it over, Lincoln." Clyde said.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Lincoln said.

Leni shook him and Lola's diary fell out from his pants.

"Lincoln, I can't believe you. You ran off with Lola's diary." Clyde took the book. "There's drool on it and it's spine is bent. We can't return it in this condition."

"Good, cause I haven't started reading it yet." Lincoln took the book back and ran off.

"Wait up Lincoln." Leni and Clyde ran after him.

Somewhere in the neighborhood, Lincoln stopped and realized he needed something to unlock the diary.

"Hey Leni, you got a hair pin?"

"Sure Lincoln." Leni got one out and gave it to Lincoln. Clyde facepalmed and Lincoln unlocked the diary.

"You're gonna regret this, Lincoln." Clyde assured him.

"Hey, listen to this." Lincoln read from the diary. "Dear diary, Clyde is so cute. Last night I dreamed that he got me a pony."

Lincoln and Leni couldn't help but laugh. Clyde blushed a bit, surprised to hear that.

"Me and Lola?"

"Sitting in a tree." Leni said.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Lincoln teased.

"Look!" Leni pointed. "It's a drawing of Lincoln in his underwear."

There was a drawing of Lincoln in his underwear and he was also wearing a cape.

"That's me?" Lincoln flipped through the book rapidly and found more drawings of

him, revealing a flipbook animation of Lincoln running.

"It seems Lola's into animation." Clyde said.

"I have to admit, this is impressive." Lincoln said.

Then the cartoon Lincoln is flying until his underwear gets caught on a branch and his butt is exposed. Leni and Clyde laugh at this but Lincoln is not amused.

Back at the house, the other siblings were outside looking for the diary.

"Don't worry Lols. We'll find your diary." Lana assured.

Lori and Lynn searched the trash cans. Lucy looked in a tree. Luna and Luan searched the garage. Lisa looked on the roof. Lily looked in a bush. None of them found the diary.

"Sorry Lola, we literally don't see your missing diary." Lori said.

"I want my diary!" Lola sobbed and ran into the house.

"Speaking of missing, has anyone seen Lincoln and Leni?" Lynn wondered.

Back with the trio, Lincoln continued reading his little sister's diary. He just read about Leni's bad hairdo. "Boy Leni, I never thought I'd picture you that way."

Leni looked embarrassed.

"Lincoln, enough already!" Clyde begged. "My mind is riddled with bad images. I beg you, please stop reading the diary."

Suddenly, Lynn showed up behind them. "I knew it! You guys are busted!"

Lincoln grabbed Lynn. He managed to tie her to a tree with rope.

"Lincoln, you just reached a new low. I oughta pound you right now." Lynn said.

"Sorry Lynn, but I'm not gonna let you rat on us. Later." Lincoln ran off.

Clyde gave Lynn a pillow.

"I'm sorry too Lynn. Nos vemos mas tarde."

Clyde left. Lynn looked confused. "Was that...Spanish?"

"I can't believe you just did that to Lynn." Leni said in disbelief.

"We've broken the law!" Clyde panicked. "Not only have we taken one's personal belongings, but add to it, abduction, and detaining one against their will! What do we do? What do we do? I could use some help here!"

"Wait, what were we doing again?" Leni asked.

"That's it! I suggest we sneak back into the house, we bury the book within its boundaries, and deceptively plead amnesia."

"I like it! That's so underhanded Clyde." Lincoln said. "Looks like I'm rubbing off on you."

"Never thought I'd come up with an idea like that." Clyde said, a bit surprised.

In the neighborhood, the kids were still searching for the diary. Lincoln, Leni, and Clyde went stealth mode as they tried to avoid being seen by the others.

"The coast is clear. Let's move out." Lincoln ordered.

They went back to the house and into the backyard. Lincoln found a lawn chair where he could hide the book. "This'll do fine." Lincoln put the book on the chair. Then he folded the chair but it wouldn't stay down. He tried a few more times. He then put his whole weight on the chair but this caused the book to fly off.

"Let's bury that book." Leni got out a shovel. The book flew towards Leni. "That book's attacking!" Leni ducked.

Clyde was wiping his glasses. He put them back on and got hit with the diary.

"Are you ok Clyde?" Leni asked.

The diary was in his afro. "Well, I guess I kinda deserved that." He took it out. Lincoln and Leni suddenly looked scared.

"What?"

"Hey you! That's my diary!" Lola and Lana were behind the trio. Leni hid behind Lincoln.

"You better not have read anything." Lola snatched the book from Clyde.

"Me? Never." Clyde said.

"You should be happy we found it for you Lola." Lincoln said.

Lola looked in the book. "There's drool stains all over these pages. You looked in my diary!"

"Way to go, Clyde." Lincoln said sarcastically.

"Well, you guys are gonna get it now." Lana said as Lola stomped towards the trio.

"Do something guys! She's your sister!" Clyde said in fear.

"We're goners Clyde!" Leni cried.

"Did I mention Lola's been taking karate lessons from Lynn?" Lana stated.

The trio backed away.

"Isn't there anything we can do to make it up to you?" Clyde asked.

"That's it! The gum!" Lincoln reached into Clyde's pants and got out a big packet of gum.

"She'll never go for the gum." Clyde said.

Lincoln gave the gum to Leni. "Leni, start chewing!"

Leni started chewing as Lola was getting closer. She started blowing a bubble.

"Blow Leni, blow!"

Leni blew a big bubble like earlier. Clyde and Lincoln grabbed onto Leni as they all floated up before Lola could get them.

"Hey! Get down here or I'm telling Mom!" Lola yelled.

"Please don't tell Mom!" Lincoln yelled back.

Unfortunately, their flight soon ended because a bird flew by and popped the bubble gum with its beak.

"Mayday! We're going down! We're going down!" Clyde yelled. The gang fell to the ground.

In Lola's room, it's shown that everything is fixed. The hole in the ceiling is now boarded up. Lola was writing in her diary.

Dear diary, my boneheaded brother and sister got what they deserved. Clyde looked so innocent though. But you know what they say, give those cute ones an itch and they'll take a mile.

In the garage, it's shown that Leni, Lincoln and Clyde are stuck in bubblegum together. Leni was chewing it.

"Once again we get stuck in some crazy situation." Clyde stated.

"Yeah, and we have a guest tonight." Lincoln mentioned.

It's shown that Boris is also stuck in the gum too. His head is stuck to Lincoln's foot and his feet are stuck to the wall.

"I like the way he's stuck." Leni said.

"Boy, how the heck did Boris end up here?" Boris complained. "If Boris hadn't eaten noodles with his vampire teeth, Boris would be back in China."

"Can someone scrape this guy off my shoe?" Lincoln asked. "Please."
