AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry I took forever to create and post the next chapter to kick off the second season. Real life stuff made me so dang busy and college's about to start near the end of next month, but I'm here with hopefully a banger chapter. Remember, none of this will make sense if you had not seen ALL of the previous episode's events since this ain't formulaic. Of course, this a reinterpretation of the same episode by Billy and Mandy, but here given a Casagrande twist of sorts since I haven't done that before...
[This episode starts with Bobby at the Casagrande apartment sitting on the sofa trying to call his sister Ronnie Anne. We can tell he's worried as he's tapping his knee with his fingers as he awaits for a response and lots of sweat is seen dripping down his forehead. After a while, this is what's heard on the other side.]
RONNIE-ANNE'S VOICE MESSAGE: Hola, this is Ronnie-Anne and if you're hearing this, that means I can't come to the phone right now as I'm… indisposed. But hey, you can leave a message after a beep and if this is Lincoln, YES I am coming to your house tonight for dinner. Anyway, BEEP!
BOBBY: Hey uh Ronnie, I know you like to be a hot-shot sometimes, but I'm worried where you've wandered off to. You know how much I care about you, so if you can at least text me, I can get over this. Alright, hope to see you soon.
[As the message's played though, we see Ronnie-Anne in an unknown location surrounded in darkness trying to shut up her phone as something's seen offscreen that's catching her attention more. She's tempted to press the answer button, but Ronnie slaps herself to prevent this from happening. This is meant to not be explained until much, much later…]
BOBBY: Oh man, this is too stressful for me to take. Hm… maybe I should just find a way to distract myself in the meantime. Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
[He gets out of the living room to call out to his mom to make him some Hispanic meal, but there's no response. He then goes elsewhere to find his dad, brother, ANYONE, not even the parrot Sergio. This only elevates his stress as he heads out of the apartment to maybe go set up a search party or even call the police, but that's when his phone finally starts ringing. Crying tears of joy, he picks it up, only to see and it's Lori and not Ronnie-Anne. He does still press answer to maybe state his concerns to at least someone, only to hear his girlfriend immediately burp loudly over the phone.]
LORI: Spending time with your family, eh Bobby-Boo-Boo Bear? Figures… [she burps again, with this rather brash attitude confusing her boyfriend greatly] Sorry, must've been something I ate.
BOBBY: Um…
LORI: What? Girls burp too, don't judge me. Anyway, I'm having you for dinner tonight at 6. Don't be late, or else you'll never find out what I've got cooking up for us both. [Another burp's heard as she rudely hangs up, making Bobby immediately have hallucinations of seeing his girlfriend as a witch dropping all his missing family members in a boiling black pot to serve in some stew of sorts, but he slaps himself out of this mental state.]
BOBBY: Oh come on, Bobby! Lori would NEVER do that out of me. Or would she? No matter, I'm not going to let her vanish off the face of the Earth too, so here I come! [He's seen getting into his truck and heading on OUT of Great Lakes City to head to Royal Woods. One scene transition later and he's parked off near the Loud House, but the atmosphere is strangely quiet as Bobby peers out his truck window to look around the place. Yeah, there's no Lana or Lola playing outside or Luan with her puppet Ms. Coconuts making jokes, or even Luna loudly playing her instruments. It's almost like something's gone down.] Is everyone I know being taken away by aliens or something? I'll have to go in deeper…
[He steps out of his vehicle and sneaks around the back to where there's an open window to the kitchen. Peeking in without making any noise, he notices his girlfriend Lori carrying some box into the fridge. In his thoughts, he's not only worried of what's in her parcel, but also why she has that strange purple mask on when it's not sleeping time. He soon notices his girlfriend remove the string from the box and open the cover to stick her finger inside to show some strange pink goo substance that she immediately savors. Bobby's imagination goes wild again thinking it's brains she's eating, making him pass out and land in the convenient bushes. The noise makes Lori stop what she's doing and open the back door]
LORI: Hey, who's out there? [Nothing responds but the blowing wind] Ugh, doesn't matter. Have some cutting duties to deal with…
[In the bushes, Bobby hears his girlfriend's statement and nearly hurls with his worries making him assume she's going to cut up someone's brain into some meat pie or something. However, his expression immediately changes to a confident one as he has to put a stop to this.]
BOBBY (in his mind): Lori, I don't know what's gotten to you, but so help me, I'll get my sister and the rest of my familia back, even if it puts ME on the literal chopping block! I'm a man of my word…
[He sneaks off into his truck to drive off and come back at 6 PM directly with some supplies such as a ski mask, grapping hook, rope, gloves, and soundproof boots to make breaking into the Loud House easier. Bobby assembles his gear, makes sure it's all secure and tight before making it to the front door. He's about to get out his lockpick only to notice… the entrance isn't locked at all. Remember, it took until the episode Lock N' Loud for the siblings to care about things like their home security. Bobby just shrugs this off as he's able to sneak around like James Bond. Anytime he sees anyone in the shadows about to reach him, he hides behind things like pot plants, the dining room table, and even INSIDE the living room couch to avoid being spotted. Bobby might then notice lights emitting from the basement area, but he hesitates going in despite commotion being heard within.]
BOBBY: [he sighs] I know this is a trap, but I got no other choice. Except, what if I am going too far? Lori's my love, and I can't just attack her or her family over my paranoia. Besides, I haven't heard-" [That's when he hears his mother scream inside, making him INSTANTLY change demeanor] MAMA?! I'M COMING, MAMA! [He runs down the stairs and quickly shows off some weird moves to everyone around him like he's got some karate skills under his belt. Bobby obviously doesn't, but he's trying to be intimidating here. Around him are strange people in Day of the Dead masks wearing Mexican attire like the big hats, vests, jeans, and even cowboy boots. They all try to pounce him, leading to an intense chase scene a la Scooby Doo. Soon though, Lori's seen elsewhere with the box that she aims right at Bobby's face nonchalantly, making him crash into it and we see it's just a chocolate cake with the caption "FELIZ CUMPLIAÑOS, BOBBY SANTIAGO!" Much of it is now smothered on her boyfriend's face, but he turns around to taste it and gets the hint] Oh, that wasn't a brain, it was just a cake. Which means…
[The people in the masks finally remove them to reveal both his missing family, except Ronnie-Anne, and the Loud siblings]
ALL OF THEM: SURPRISE! FELIZ CUMPLIAÑOS, ROBERTO ALEJANDRO MARTÍNEZ-MILLÁN LUIS SANTIAGO JR!
[The rest of the party's soon unveiled like Luna playing Mexican-themed birthday instrumentals with her drum set, Luan presenting all the other sweets in dishes, among other things as Lori hugs her boyfriend close]
LORI: See, Bobby-Boo-Bear? There was nothing to worry about! Even your mom just stubbed her toe, nothing that serious to be dressed like how you are now. [She then helps Bobby be disarmed of his spy gear and stuff]
BOBBY: [Feeling so dang relieved at this being a big misunderstanding] Yeah, and I bet Ronnie-Anne's just off hanging out with her friends, right? [That's when the rest of his family stop and look visibly concerned with his mother speaking up]
MARIA: Oh wait, she's NOT with you? [That's when Lori's heard burping again as she's seen chewing on something that she pulls out immediately after. It's a piece of torn fabric from Bobby's sister's purple hooded jacket]
LORI: Huh, how do you suppose this got in there? [Her eyes then turn green to start showing off her beast form for her boyfriend to see how she's changed since he last saw her.]
[Bobby just screams at his theory being correct before passing out in front of his shocked family, all of whom are then surrounded by the rest of the Louds who all show off their own true forms like Luna's brain tentacles, Lincoln having robotic weaponized arms, and more. We only focus on Lori's boyfriend as he blows out the candle stuck in his hair to cut the lights in this basement to end off the episode on a super creepy note…]
