"You're WHAT?!"

"You heard me."

On Saturday, Lincoln met up with Clyde to announce a staunch decision he came to, which shouldn't have surprised him, but did. Not only did Lincoln no longer want a part of the upcoming Ace Savvy movie, but he was strongly considering revoking his Full House Gang characters from the Ace Savvy canon altogether.

"Lincoln, we worked hard!" Clyde argued. "This is the opportunity of a lifetime! And you worked hard on those characters! You have talent!"

"Sure do," sneered Lincoln. "And look where it landed us!"

"Well, if you hadn't made that plan-"

"I KNOW!" roared Lincoln. "Clyde, my point is this movie's not worth it!"

"What do you mean?"

"Trust me, it's a bad idea. Pooper scoopers?! The only thing that's gonna come from all this is us getting cemented as forever losers and we'll be frowned down upon for the rest of our lives! We both know what happened at the con. We came clean and we paid the price for admitting our mistake. If it's one thing that life teaches us after that, it's that people expect taking the easy way is gonna land them exactly where they wanna be! It's my sisters who will gain all the glory for themselves! Not to mention, if this gets to their head, and change my mind about that, what you do think is gonna become of ME?!" In all likelihood, despite enduring the train wreck that was a week of school since that fateful con, Clyde hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Well... wouldn't anyone in that kind of role have the same problem?" he asked.

"Hmph... not likely," said Lincoln. "I strongly suggest you back away from this endeavor. Because I sure am."

"What about your characters? I could be wrong, but... if you decide to revoke them from the Ace Savvy realm, wouldn't that pull the plug on the whole movie? Or at least remove the characters from it?" Lincoln's eyes widened and Clyde instantly realized he probably should have kept quiet.

"Now there's an idea," Lincoln said quietly, but Clyde heard him. "They're still my characters and I should be able to decide if they should just stay in fan fiction." Then he raised his voice a little. "My sisters have tortured me long enough and if my parents won't stop them, then I'll just have to pay them back in spades! The ace of spades, that is! They think my hobbies and interests are lame anyway, and I've got nothing to lose! Clyde, I'm not called the man with a plan for nothing!"

"Me and my big mouth," murmured Clyde, believing that this would end in disaster, that is if Lincoln could successfully pull this off. Of course, it only seemed that Lincoln would pull this off out of spite, which could be part of the reason given how many times they overshadowed him and they weren't aware of how badly it had been affecting his mental health. The other part of the reason surprisingly would be a result of his own self-loathing. If his sisters really thought his habits, hobbies, interests, and such were in fact lame in their eyes and wouldn't get him ahead in life, why should his own fan ideas stay as additions to any canon, continuity, or universe?

The following Monday, Vanzilla was on the road to the designated location where the filming would take place. It was worth noting that Lincoln, his sisters, and Clyde only got cameo appearances and the filming for that would only take up to three days. However, and as expected, the Loud sisters were milking it all up for what it was worth, minus Lucy, who was beginning to have second thoughts. They simply could not wait to become movie stars, though since they got roles in something they clearly had no interest in and tormented Lincoln for it, there was that wild card chance that they were doing this not only just for themselves but also to continue to tear down their only brother for the umpteenth time. But little did they know that there were two people on the set who believed that hard work is in fact the way to get by in the world properly, and that people do have to earn their places.

"Greetings, true believers!" An old man met up with the Loud family once they arrived at the right studio. "I'm Don Lee, director of the upcoming Ace Savvy film. I heard we're getting some cameos from quite a few young people here." Lola in particular was quite giddy at the prospect of being a movie star, seemingly not taking the word 'cameo' into consideration. "And you must be Lincoln Loud himself!" said Don Lee, addressed the white-haired boy. "You might be surprised, but it's an honor to have you along for the ride!" This, for Lincoln, must have been worth the price of admission. A movie director just said it was an honor to have a young boy come to the studio, though it was likely because of adding the Full House Gang to the Ace Savvy comic book series. The jaws of the Loud sisters just about hit the floor, but even the way their brother was addressed would not prepare them for Lincoln's plan, if it was even called a plan. Lincoln didn't even want to come to begin with, but sort of understood that his family couldn't just leave him unattended, especially after his week of mental trauma at school. Yet he gave a small smile and shook Lee's hand.

"Th...thank you... sir..." he murmured.

"You'll do just fine, son," Don Lee replied. "As a matter of fact, there's someone else here who was hoping you'd make it. Come inside!" Lincoln looked around quickly as they prepared to go in and noticed that his best friend Clyde was a complete no-show. He must have actually taken Lincoln's advice seriously... though there was a chance that maybe Clyde was mad at him. And here came something else the Loud sisters were not expecting. Inside the studio, there was Bill Buck, the creator of Ace Savvy himself! What was he doing here?

"Hey, Lincoln!" he said, waving to him and the others. "You made it! Surprised to see me? I've been working on the screenplay!" Lincoln never expected that he'd be face to face with one of his biggest heroes once again. There was a possibility now that revoking the rights to the Full House Gang would be easier, but at the same time, would it be right to even tell him?
