Chapter 1

Youth...we can sometimes forget how precious it is as the years go by and we get older. But what, if we could live our childhoods a second time around. Impossible, right? Well, let's find out, shall we? As we begin our story in the bedroom of Rita and Lynn Loud Sr., waking up from a...

Lynn Sr. (Gets up): "Yawn!"

Augh! Sorry...I guess Lynn had a rough night, as we see his hair is all messed up, needs a major shave, and has bags under his guys. Rita is not doing so well either, as she gets up and we see she's in a similar state.

Rita: "Lynn...Yawn...what time is it?"

Lynn Sr. (Looks at his alarm clock): "Well it's...10:00 am?!"

Rita: "What?!"

As fast as they can, the two parents got out of bed and started to get ready for the day.

Rita: "I can't bevile we overslept!"

Lynn Sr.: "You're telling me! We promised the kids we go on a picnic in the park today! And we're not even ready!"

Rita: "The kids are going to be so mad at us!"

But when Rita and Lynn go through their bedroom door, they are shocked to see...

The Loud Kids (All dressed and ready to go): "Good morning!"

Rita (Not sure what to say): "Umm...morning kids!" (With a nervous smile): "I see your all ready for our picnic today."

Lola (With a big toothy grin): "That's right!"

Lynn Sr.: "Well, just give us some time to get everything pac..."

Lincoln (Walks up with a picnic basket): "Don't worry Dad." (Hands it over): I already made our lunch and packed the basket for you."

Lynn Sr.: "Gee..." (Takes the basket): "Thanks son." (Opens it up and takes out a sandwich): "Wow, cucumber sandwiches?!" (Whispers to his wife): "I was just going to make PB and j."

Lincoln: "It was Luan's idea."

Luan: "I would've helped him." (Takes out a camera): "But I was busy looking for my old camera to take pictures with." (Puts it up to her face): "Say cheese!"

Leni: "Wait..." (Takes out a pocket mirror): "I need to check my makeup."

Lynn (With a bag over her shoulder): "And I packed some killer games we can play!"

Lori (Holding the car keys): "And I'll be driving."

Rita: "Oh, that's okay sweetie, I'll drive."

Lori: "But you just woke up."

Rita (Walks up and takes the keys): "It will be fine."

But it was easier said than done, as most of the Loud siblings were fighting in the back of the van, a bit of traffic getting in their way, and some fog covering the street signs making it difficult for the mother of eleven to find her way. Eventually, the Loud family made it to the park, and we see now that Rita and Lynn are sitting down on the picnic blanket, setting up, while the kids are playing around the park.

Lynn Sr. (With a smile): "Man, our kids sure have a lot of energy!"

Rita (Develops a nostalgic smile): "Kind of reminds me of when I was a kid. Running around the house, my dad trying to catch me…"

Lynn Sr.: "Making a mess out the kitchen, while trying to make my first dish."

Rita: "What was your dish?"

Lynn Sr.: "Pretzel surprise!"

Rita and Lynn Sr.: "Hahaha!"

Rita: "Oh man…remember the movies that came out when we were teens."

Lynn Sr.: "You mean like: "Back to the Past"?"

Rita: "Or Freddy Meany's Day In?"

Luan (Runs up with her camera): "Mom, Dad!" (Puts it up to her face): "Say Cheese!"

Lynn Sr. and Rita (Cuddling up together): "Cheese!"

But when Luan pushes the button, water squirted out of the lens, getting the two parents wet.

Luan: "Hahaha! Gotcha!"

Rita (Gets up angrily): "Luan Loud!"

Luan (Turns away): "Hey guys, Mom's going to join our…"

All the other Loud kids (Popping out of hiding places, while holding water balloons): "Water War!"

Rita (Develops a devious smile as she takes out her own water balloon): "Oh, its own!"

After a heartfelt battle and some lunch, the Louds decide to have a rousing game of kickball with Lynn Sr. pitching and Lynn Jr. at the plate.

Lynn Sr.: "Remember what I taught you LJ!"

Lynn (With a smirk): "You want your team to lose that badly huh Dad?"

Lynn Sr.: "We'll see who wins when I serve you my…" (Prepare to roll the ball, but…): "Hmmm…" (Drops the ball and starts to hold his back in pain): "Augh!"

Luna (Runs up to her father along with her brother): "Pop-Star!"

Lincoln: "You okay?"

Lynn Sr. "I think I threw my back out."

Pretty soon, the Loud family arrived home with the kids going off to do their own things, while Lynn Sr. and Rita are in the Kitchen sitting at the table. Rita is on the verge of passing out and Lynn Sr. holding a bag of ice to his back.

Rita: "You know what Lynn? Being old bites."

Lynn Sr.: "I can live without the back pains, that's for sure."

Rita: "Would it be nice to be young again?"

Lynn Sr.: "Or at least have the same energy as our kids."

But unknowing to the two, they're second to the youngest daughter, Lisa is by the door listening in to what they're saying.

Lisa (While scratching her chin): "Hmmm…"

Here we go…
