It was Monday, August 3, 1986, and Maria, Arturo and Clyde were walking up to the Loud House. Maria proceeds to knock on the door and Ronnie Anne and Lincoln both answer it.
"Hey guys. Come on in," Lincoln greeted.
"So what's happening, grandkids? Anything important?" Maria asked.
"Nothing, Grandma. Ronnie and I are just doing our usual chores for the day," Lincoln replied.
"I see that. Is Lori doing okay?" Maria asked.
"Yeah, Mom and Dad are doing just fine," Ronnie Anne replied.
"So, fellas. Do you or your parents need some help?" Arturo asked.
Suddenly, a crash is heard.
In the kitchen, Lincoln was taking out the trash when all of a sudden, they hear Leni screaming.
"AAAHHHH! HELP!" Leni screamed.
"Sounds like someone got trapped in the bathroom again," Lincoln replied in fear.
"Uh oh," Maria said in fear.
Upstairs, Lori and Bobby run out of their room and towards the bathroom.
"Is everything okay in there?" Lori called for Leni.
Inside the bathroom, Leni, wearing a bathrobe and towel on her head, is holding the doorknob to the bathroom door, which just broke off. She growls at this.
"No! I'm locked in the stupid goddamn bathroom! Now let me out!" Leni screamed in anger, "Chas is coming over to be with me, and I only have three hours to get ready!"
Once Leni finished, she tries to open the door, but the knob broke off and sees through the hole. Therefore, she struggles to open the bathroom door, when suddenly, she slips. She grabs hold of the shower curtain, but it rips off. The pole holding the curtain bonks Leni on the head, causing Leni to growl even louder at this string of events. Lori then decides to bash through the door.
"Hang on, Leni! I'm comi..." Lori called before suddenly, she falls down a hole in the bathroom floor, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Suddenly, Clyde then catches Lori as she fell.
"Are you alright, Lori?" Clyde asked.
"Yes, Clyde. Thank you," Lori said nervously.
"THIS HOUSE IS LITERALLY FALLING APART!" Leni shouted angrily.
"Leni's right. With so many other other relatives, four pets... and two parents who insist on fixing everything themselves, our house is a bit of a, how do I put this nicely, disaster," Lori said to the viewers.
"It's sounds like we all have a lot of house problems around here, Mom," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, we sure do," Lori agreed.
Flashback to Lana and Lola brushing their teeth.
"We've got some faulty water pressure," Lori narrated as Lana puts her mouth under the faucet, and turns the water pressure on, but nothing comes out. Lola is ticked off at Lana's uncouth method of rinsing her mouth.
"Eh. I'll go borrow some water from Charles' bowl," Lana suggested.
"Try to have a little dignity inside yo..." Lola tried to talk before the increased water pressure from the pipes breaks loose, spewing water onto Lola, flinging her into the trash can. The scene then cuts to Luna arriving home late at night with her music equipment.
"And of course, there's the creaky floorboards," Lori narrated.
As Luna enters the house, she gives a "hang loose" hand gesture and tiptoes over to the staircase. She steps on the first step, making a loud creaking sound. This alerts Lynn Sr., scaring Luna.
"Girls?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Oh, and let's not forget about the rotting wood as well," Lori narrated.
Luna tries to grab hold of the handrail, but the entire staircase breaks apart. As Luna stands back up, Lynn Sr.: flashes a light at her.
"Luna!" Lynn Sr. screamed.
Flashback to Lori and Lincoln adding the finishing touches to a model pirate ship.
"Then there's the clunky furnace," Lori narrated as she and Lincoln have just added the captain on the ship.
"Well, Captain. After 13 weeks of careful construction, your ship is finally ready," Lincoln said with pride and honor.
As Lori and Lincoln look on with pride, the furnace begins rattling. As Lincoln holds his model ship in fear, the furnace spews out some soot, covering Lincoln with it and damaging his model ship.
"And of course, topping it off with the very crummy TV signal," Lori narrated with another flashback cutaway with Lynn Sr. trying to fix the TV antenna.
Inside the house, the kids are complaining that the TV is fuzzy again. Rita is outside putting pillows on a trampoline just in case her husband Lynn Sr.: falls off. A sheet of foil lands on Lynn Sr.'s face, blinding him. His vest gets caught on the TV antenna, causing him to get tangled in the antenna.
"Something's got me!" Lynn Sr. screamed.
Inside the house, the TV signal is back, as The Smurfs appears on the screen.
"Wait! Wait! That's perfect!" Luan called and the Loud kids cheer at the signal being back. But suddenly, Lynn Sr. falls off the roof, along with the TV antenna, causing the signal to be lost again and they all groan.
Flashback to a series of moments where doorknobs and door handles broke off.
"And of course, the doorknob situation," Lori explained, "First off, Lisa with the doorknob...
"Ugh! There goes my doorknob."
...Leni with the fridge door handle...
"Goddamn it!"
...Lynn with the doorknob...
"Jesus Christ!"
...Lucy with the attic cord...
"God!"
...Bobby with the doorknob...
"D'oh!"
...my daughter, Lily, with the faucet handle, Bleugh!, Luna with the flusher handle...
"Jeez. That stupid flusher handle."
...Lincoln with the doorknob...
"Damn it," he yelled.
... and finally, me with the doorknob...
"OH COME ON!"
End flashback.
Lori, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne have just gotten the trash to the curb, where the mailbox is all banged up and patched up.
"Wow, guys. It sounds like you all are in need of some serious home repair," Maria explained.
"Yeah," Ronnie Anne agreed.
"No kidding," Clyde agreed.
"Yeah, and we feel like there's something we're leaving out," Lincoln replied when suddenly, the mailbox falls right onto his foot
"Right. The mailbox," Ronnie Anne replied as she and Lori help out by putting the mailbox back up.
"Yeah, this is ridiculous. There wasn't even a breeze!" Lori complained, before Lisa came in wearing a weather machine and wearing a slicker and hat.
"From my analysis within my meteorological instruments, a big tornado is coming our way," Lisa explained.
"A Tornado?!" Lori gasped.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Ronnie Anne screamed.
"What? No way!" Lincoln said in fear.
It then cuts to the TV with a weather report.
"Hello, everyone! Katherine Mulligan here with an severely urgent weather bulletin! A tornado warning has just been issued for the Royal Woods area!"
Everybody lets out a serious gasp.
"Oh dear, better get the weather machine ready!" Lisa explained.
"Okay, it looks like a moment of truth right now," Rita called out, "Everybody down to the basement right now! Your father and I have to secure the TV antenna!"
"I call trampoline!" Lynn Sr. called.
Down in the basement, Lisa's weather machine is set and the families and pets are all secured with pillows for comfort on the hard floor and chatting about the situation with concern.
"This is bad. This is Bad. This is very, very bad!" Ronnie Anne said in fear.
"I don't want to die!" Clyde screamed in fear.
"Come on, everyone. It's just a tornado watch right now," Maria confessed.
"I'm scared!" the twins held each other tight.
"Fear not. A tornado watch doesn't mean a twister's coming, but rather that conditions are right for one. Besides, most residential structures can withstand wind speeds of up to 80 miles an hour," Lisa explained.
"Or, in the case of our house, 2 mph!" Luan laughs and everyone else, except Lori, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln, laughs with her.
"Good one, Luan," Clyde replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Lori asked.
"Maybe this old heap will blow away, and then we can get a new house!" Lynn replied.
"What?!" Lori said in shock.
"I'll finally get my castle!" Lola replied dreamily.
"Lola, that's not what matters," Lori silenced Lola.
"Chas, I'm sorry but I have to postpone my summer date with you after I did..." Leni showed her bod while calling on the phone, "...all this.'
"Wait! Maybe you're being too hard on the house. This place has gotten us through some bad times," Lori confessed.
"Mostly because IT caused all those bad times!" Leni replied coldly and angrily.
"Come on, you guys. A man's home is his castle," Bobby explained.
"Yeah. You guys have all lived here for a while," Maria added.
"Dudes! Remember when Bobby often came over to Casa Loud dressed like a mature man?" Luna asked.
It then flashes back to one of Bobby's many visits to the Loud House when he was 14 before he started living with them. He came to the front door dressed maturely with a white shirt and tie and carrying an Italian gift basket. He approaches the door but falls through the porch and gets stuck. Lori and her parents open the door with the oldest sister looking on with concern.
"Mr. and Mrs. Loud. Heh. It's an honor to meet you again," Bobby greeted as he extends his hand which is now covered in marinara sauce.
"Bobby honey! You're back. I feel relieved," Lori replied relieved, "What's with your hand? It looks like it's covered in red paint with numerous herbs and spices."
"No worries, dear. It's just a bunch of marinara sauce. Ahem. Could I please use your restroom?" Bobby shook the sauce off his hand.
In the bathroom, Bobby is trying to use the sink, but the water isn't coming out. Suddenly, a shake and rattle comes out and a jet of water blasts Bobby against the wall. Lucy can see him through the hole in the bathroom floor next to the toilet.
"So, you're Lori's love interest," Lucy replied, but Bobby flinches and grabs the doorknob only for it to come off.
"D'oh!"
Flashback ends as Lori reminisces with passion and her siblings laugh.
"Fortunately, our love was strong enough to overcome any obstacle," Lori explained, "That includes creepy sisters who spy on my dates. That means you, Lucy."
"Please, Lori. You can't expect to have privacy in this house," Lucy said softly.
Flashback to Lucy and Lynn trying to sleep as Lucy was snoring loudly, which wakes Lynn up.
"Okay, you've been snoring loudly for the past twenty minutes. What's wrong, Luce?" Lynn asked coldly while Lucy rises up.
"Don't tell anyone, but..." Lucy proceeds to show Lynn a mysterious book called "Hungry Like a Werewolf" with a werewolf on the cover, "I've been reading this new book series about a werewolf, and it feels like I'm cheating on Edwin."
Lucy then shows Lori her Edwin poster with a little drawing of her taped to it.
"Well, you shouldn't be, because you're not really cheating on anyone. I mean, Edwin's just a creepy old headpiece," Lori confessed.
"You take that back!" Lucy denied angrily.
"I'd stick with the vampire. Werewolves are hairy and gross. Yech!" Lola overheard this from her room.
"Which is exactly why she should go for one!" Lana agreed as she howls like a wolf.
"But Edwin was her first love!" Lori also overheard it with Bobby.
"Yeah, and even though Vampires and Werewolves are both awesome creatures of the night, Edwin is way cooler than a werewolf," Bobby agreed.
"Yeah, and I think mermaids are just as awesome as Vampires and Werewolves. How can you guys hear that?" Lori confessed.
"Well, These walls aren't exactly made of steel," Lynn replied.
"Don't these books sound a little old for Lucy?" Lynn Sr. also heard it.
Rita was now seen reading The Mom Jeans Ultimatum.
"Of course not, dear. When I was a girl back in the late 1940's and throughout the 1950's, I read a series about a cute lumberjack," Rita explained.
Lucy places her pillow over her face and falls back, "Goodness. When will this stop?" Lucy complained.
Flashback ends as everyone except Lucy is laughing.
"Man, what a time..." Lucy said softly.
"I still fail to grasp your dilemma, as both would-be suitors of Vampires and Werewolves minus Mermaids are mythological beings," Lisa explained.
"My point was that our walls are ridiculously thin," Lucy added softly.
"Yeah, these walls in this house are as thin as paper," Clyde explained, "You can punch a hole in them and not get hurt."
"Yeah! Not to mention leaky!" Leni added.
"Wait, what?" Lori asked in shock.
"You know, when the walls leaked while I was doing a workout in my room," Leni explained.
Flashback to Leni doing a workout in her room. The roof starts to leak and she she stops it with her ruler, but then the leak comes in through the wall. She stops it with her foot. Eventually, all different spots in the room are leaking and she covers the last one with her pincushion in her mouth.
"Got it, finally!" Leni said in relief before suddenly, she hears her phone ringing, "Augh! Who the hell is it now?!" Leni asked angrily.
The flashback then ends.
"And it wasn't even raining! Someone just flushed the upstairs toilet!" Leni explained bitterly.
"Urine trouble then!" Luan complied.
"Luan, what are you talking about now?" Lori asked angrily.
"I'm just saying that it may have been a toilet clog joke!" Luan then laughs to rimshot as her siblings plus the Santiagos and Clyde all groan again.
"That's wasn't funny, Luan!" Maria said angrily to Luan.
"Aw, come on. It was funny!" Luan confessed.
"Grandma's saying that it is not what matters right now!" Ronnie Anne agreed with Maria.
The weather machine is going off and Lisa has the results.
"Hmmm, it looks like Wind speeds are slowly decreasing. That means we should be out of this dragon-ridden dungeon soon," Lisa replied and her siblings and the pets cheer.
"Look, Do we have to say goodbye to our home?" Lori asked sadly.
"Why not? Didn't do any good for us," Lynn replied.
"Well if this house gets destroyed, you all can stay with the Casagrandes at their apartment in Great Lakes City. It's got at lot of room for all of you," Maria explained and the whole family becomes happy and they hug Maria altogether.
"Thanks, grandma. You're definitely part of our family after all," Lincoln said happily as he hugged Maria.
"Yeah, you're definitely a better mother than my own mother, I must say," Lori said happily as she hugged Maria.
"I love you, Grandma," Lily said happily as she hugged Maria.
"Thanks guys," Maria said happily.
"At least it's not flooding like it did in the last big storm," Leni replied softly.
"Do you know what happened when that storm occurred?" Maria asked.
Cutaway occurs with the aftermath of the previous storm Lori mentioned. The entire basement is flooded with the faucet leaking.
"Don't worry, everybody. I'll get the buckets," Lisa informed.
Many buckets later, Lori finally gets down to the last bucket in the house.
"Last one," Lori informed as she passes the bucket to Leni, who passes it to Luna, who passes it to Luan, who passes it to Lincoln, who passes it to Lucy, who passes it to Lana, who passes it to Charles, who passes it to Lola, who passes it to Lisa, who passes it to Bobby, who dumps the water in the backyard.
Suddenly, the cutaway pauses and Bobby asked, "But don't you guys remember what happened after that?"
The cutaway continues and after the last bucket, Lynn gasps and notices something.
"Hey, guys! Check it out!" Lynn called for everyone.
It reveals that they made a swimming hole in the backyard from the storm water. Lynn then changed into her swimsuit and began to dive right in, and everyone else except Leni also changed into their swimsuits and jumped in.
"Ew! I'm not swimming in grody basement water! That's absolutely disgusting," Leni complained.
"Come on, Leni, the water's fine," Lori said happily before Lynn resurfaces.
"Hey, Leni! I found your missing earring!" Lynn holds up Leni's missing earring.
"The one from Chas? Well, all righty then!" Leni said happily as she goes back inside to change into her swimsuit, and she bursts out the door right after and dives right in.
Everyone was now laughing together as they enjoyed the swimming hole in the backyard.
"Wow! This is like a real swimming time right now," Lori said happily.
End flashback, and everybody was happy to remember that time.
"You guys made a swimming hole in your backyard with the flood water? Neat," Ronnie Anne replied happily.
"If I saw that, we would gladly build a fully functional swimming pool for you all," Maria said happily.
"Wow, thanks, Grandma," Lincoln said happily.
"Yeah, I guess sometimes, living in a crummy house isn't all bad," Lynn replied softly.
"Yeah, like the time possums got in through the holes in the roof and chewed up the wiring," Lincoln explained.
"Wait, Lincoln. What was that again?" Lori asked in surprise.
Flashback to a time when the last possum has just fled through the hole. While there, the family is up in the attic where Rita has some bad news.)
"Sorry, kids. Until we get new cables, there's gonna be no television for a while," Rita said despondently and the kids respond with despair.
"Hmmm. I hardly every needed some real cartoons to have fun. Too much of that is bad for children mostly," Lori explained.
"She's right, kids. In fact, I think I know how to possum the time. Ha-ha!" Lynn Sr. replied but his kids, even Luan, groans at his joke.
"Wow. Even Luan didn't think that was funny," Lori replied.
"Guess what ol' Dad found?" Lynn Sr. complied as he shows them a series of books, "Voila! My old Pioneer Boy books from when I was a kid back in the late 40's and early 50's!"
"Hmmm, that was pretty much around the time when televisions started getting all the attention for entertainment," Lori explained.
"Well, these books are about a plucky young lad and his family crossing this great nation in a covered wagon. You guys are gonna love 'em!" Lynn Sr. said happily but the kids except Lori and Lincoln all have unimpressed and bored looks on their faces.
"Sounds like a great idea, let's do it," Lori said happily.
Later, they're seen reenacting the pioneer days inspired by the books and dressing the part. Lincoln is riding in a toy wagon with his Western sleeping bag as a cover, Luna and Lana are playing bluegrass music with Lily dancing to the beat, Lola was trying on a old showgirl outfit as she laughed, Lori was dressed as Annie Oakley and was shooting pop guns at aluminum cans, Leni has embroidered a hoop of Chas, while Lucy has sewn one of a cow skull, Lynn is pushing a hoop with a stick, Luan is juggling horseshoes, and Lisa is making different kinds of old fashioned tonics. Luan then drops one of her horseshoes on her foot and screams in pain.
"Fret not, lassie. One drop of my mugwump elixir will soothe every ache and pain," Lisa replied with a Southern accent.
End flashback.
"That did turn out to be fun," Lori commented and the others agree.
"Yes, indeed," Lisa agreed.
"That was pretty cool," Lynn replied.
"You guys will have to do it again sometime soon so I can see what it was like," Clyde commented.
"Boy, I would play a really good John Wayne," Arturo commented.
"That was almost as fun as the time the air conditioner went crazy, and Dad couldn't turn it off," Lola explained.
"What are you talking about?" Lori asked.
"Lola's talking about the time when the air conditioner was out of control," Leni explained.
It then flashbacks to a time where Lynn Sr. is struggling with the AC. It blasts a bit and he runs off in fear. Inside, the living room has become a winter wonderland for the kids who are in their winter clothes and having fun ice skating, building a snowman, and having a snowball fight.
"Wow, I had no idea this would happen," Lori replied in surprise.
"Wow, Making this living room into a winter wonderland is almost impossible but I'm glad you made it happen," Bobby replied romantically.
"Ah he he now Bobby," Lori and Bobby then kiss romantically.
End flashback.
"That was quite a fun time by the way," Lori commented.
"You know, dudes, maybe we've been too hard on the ol' crib. It's got some perks. Like the wicked slanty floors," Luna explained.
"What?" Lori asked in surprise.
Flashback to a good meal with Lori, her son Lincoln, daughter Lily, and the other four older sisters at the grownup table. Luna then leans the chair toward the kitchen and the kiddie table.
"Yo, Lans! Pass the gravy," Luna demanded before Lana puts the gravy boat on the floor and it slants over to Luna, "The gravy boat seems a little inventive."
End flashback.
"You never have to get up to grab some grub!" Luna laughed.
"Or a fresh roll of toilet paper for instance!" Lynn explained.
Flashback to Lynn using the toilet while reading the sports section without any toilet paper.
"GUYS! I NEED A RELOAD!" Lynn called as one of the relatives tosses her a roll from the hole and she grabs it, "And she makes the snag!"
Flashback ends with them all laughing and Clyde raised his hand, "Oooh! Oooh! I have a memory I'd like to share and it's about that tree in the backyard."
"Oh yeah, That tree has gotten us through some good times, hasn't it, Mom?" Lincoln asked.
"Yep, it sure has, hon," Lori agreed softly.
"Well, this one is about me, Lynn and Luan," Clyde explained.
"Really?" Luan asked them.
"Yeah, it was a few months ago back in April. You had just showed me and Lynn some good jokes for a special comedy company, but they didn't like them at all. They rejected you. You felt awful and you wanted to quit," Clyde explained.
It then fades to a flashback of that moment. Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Clyde and all the Loud relatives minus Luan are standing in the living room looking worried. Just then, Clyde comes in with a sign that says "WELL DONE, LUAN" on it.
"Woo-Hoo! Yay Luan! Yeah..." Clyde cheered but suddenly he notices their worried looks, "Uh, guys what's going on? Why do you look so worried? And where's Luan?"
"She's outside in the backyard, Crying," Lincoln answered in worry.
"The people at the comedy company did not like her jokes... at all," Lori replied before she got angry, "Bunch of Imbeciles! They wouldn't know good comedy if it hit them in the nose!"
"She hasn't stopped crying since she got back," Lucy said depressingly.
"Oh no! Well, I think Lynn and I should go talk to her," Clyde answered as he and Lynn both ran outside to the backyard with a box of tissues in his hand and see Luan crying under the tree, with her joke notebook right next to the tree and they goes up to her, "Hey, Luan? Are you okay?"
Luan then turns to face Clyde and Lynn and hugs them.
"Oh Clyde! Lynn! It went horrible! They said my jokes are not good! Like my jokes are not even funny anymore!" Luan cried very hard and Clyde and Lynn both continue to hug her.
"I'm sorry Luan. We didn't mean for any of this to happen," Clyde said soothingly when all of a sudden, he and Lynn both touch noses.
"Clyde, Lynn, do you think my jokes are funny?" Luan asked sadly.
"They are more than just funny. They're Hilarious! You showed them to me and Clyde yesterday and we thought they were comedy gold. And if that company can't see that, then they're just a bunch of humorless nimrods!" Lynn explained.
"I don't know, They said I wasn't worth following in Comedy Footsteps. Maybe I should just quit comedy," Luan cried.
"Luan! Don't say that! You love Comedy and you're really good at it. Don't let those humorless nimrods at that company tell you that you're not good. Keep going, keep doing what you love. Your family and I would all feel awful if you gave up. Even Benny would feel terrible about it," Lynn explained.
"Gee, thanks, guys," Luan sniffed and Clyde hands her a box of tissues.
"You need some tissue, buddy?" Clyde asked.
"Yeah, you could use some, Luan?" Lynn added.
"Sure," Luan replied as she uses the tissues and hugs both Clyde and Lynn, "Clyde, Lynn, there's something I need to tell you both."
"Sure Luan. You can tell us anything," Lynn replied.
"When I was at that building and I thought I was gonna bomb, there was only one person beside Lynn who I was thinking of, and it wasn't who I thought it'd be," Luan explained.
"And who exactly was that person?" Lynn asked in worry?
"It was your love interest, Clyde. I kept thinking: I hope I make it through this so I can see my little Clyde's face again," Luan said sadly.
"Woah, Really?" Clyde asked in surprise.
Luan then moves closer to Clyde and takes his hands, "There's only one boy who's always been there for me. Who makes me feel like I'm more than I ever thought I could be. Who helped me get better after Benny took a break from talking to me. That I'm just... Me. And that's okay. The truth is... I love you and Lynn both," she gazes into Clyde and Lynn's eyes and sheds a tear.
"Really?" Clyde and Lynn asked them.
"Oh, I love you guys so much, Clyde, and Lynn!" Luan teared up as she She then grabs Clyde and Lynn, and suddenly Lynn kisses him on the lips. About a few seconds later, Clyde lets go and decides to tell them something.
"Hey, Luan. I just have one thing for you and Lynn," Clyde replied as he goes up to her and starts making out with her and Lynn.
The scene then returns to the present where Luan's siblings were in awer at the flashback while Clyde, Lynn and Luan hug each other. Lori then shed tears of happiness for them as she sniffs and wipes away the tears.
"Wow, guys. That was beautiful!" Lori teared up.
"Yes it was. I'll never forget that," Clyde replied.
"Isn't love beautiful, Mom?" Ronnie Anne asked Lori.
"It sure is, Ronnie. Bobby and I can both tell that Clyde and Luan are like real friends, but I think Clyde and Lynn are actually made for each other," Lori said softly.
"You mean it, Lori?" Lynn asked in surprise.
"Really really," Lori agreed.
"One of the best moments of my life aside from having a date with Lynn," Clyde commented.
"Me too, Luan," Luan agreed.
"Yeah, same here, Clyde," Lynn agreed and she and Clyde kiss together.
"Hey, Lincoln. Let's review some more memories," Maria informed.
"The broken doorbell can come in handy, too," Lincoln replied.
Flashback to a time they ordered pizza and the delivery guy presses the doorbell only to be shocked by its faulty wiring. He drops all the boxes meant for the Louds plus Lincoln's father Bobby and runs off. The twelve members then answer and smack their lips with hunger before the flashback ends.
"I can't remember the last time we paid for pizza, Mom," Lincoln commented.
"Yeah, me either, Lincoln," Lori said and the kids laugh some more, "And let's not forget the super springy couch!"
It then flashbacks to when Lori was reading a book, when she got excited at a certain moment, she started to bounce lightly, when she noticed this she started jumping on it and she started to giggle, until it bounced her so high that she smashed a hole in the ceiling.
"Occupado!" Luna recalled.
"Sorry, Luna," Lori said nervously.
Flashback ends and they all laugh again.
"Guess that explains why we have that hole. And boy, did that come in handy," Lynn explained.
"Um, we got it, Lynn," Lori said in concern.
"Oh. Okay. Just wanted to be sure," Lynn replied.
Maria then walks up to the wall with her granddaughters Ronnie Anne and Lily.
"Hey, Lori, I think our granddaughter Lily has a great memory that we all might share," Maria informed.
"What is that?" Lori asked.
"That memory was Lynn Sr. and Rita's anniversary weekend," Maria explained.
Flashback to said weekend. The parents are driving off and the kids wave goodbye.
"BYE! HAVE FUN!" The kids waved.
"Okay, guys, it's time to put Operation Paint The Peeling House To Give The Loud Parents The Greatest Anniversary Gift Ever And Also Think Of A Shorter Name For This Operation...into action!" Ronnie Anne and Lincoln both recalled.
"Great idea, kiddo!" Lori agreed.
"I agree, kids. Let's get to work, everybody!" Bobby commanded and they all go into the garage.
"I still think adjacent burial plots would have been a better gift. Nothing says romance like eternity," Lucy said romantically.
The others just slowly inch away from Lucy after hearing that.
Much later, as Bobby, Lori, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln put on the last coat, the horn sounds.
"They're back! Paintbrushes down!" Lincoln recalled.
Their parents step out of the car and find their house completely covered in a rainbow nightmare.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"
"Good...God..." Lynn Sr.: and Rita said in shock.
"So, you like it?" Lincoln asked.
"Uh..." Lynn Sr.: and Rita were thinking about it and the kids are immediately painting the house back to the way it was before. Lily paints a hand print on the side of the quick, and the others follow suit, each colored handprint matching their themed color.
"Well, I'm waiting for an answer from you both," Lori said in concern.
"Best...anniversary gift...EVER!" Lynn Sr.: and Rita shouted happily.
"Aww, gee thanks," Lori smiled tearfully.
End flashback.
"That was a great story, Mrs. Santiago," Luan teared up.
"Great story, Grandma," Lily said softly as she hugged Maria.
"Thanks Luan," Maria thanked them.
"That operation would've been Operation: Rainbow Anniversary, Grandma," Ronnie Anne corrected.
"That's a perfect name, Ronnie Anne," Lincoln replied and they all laugh again.
Just then, Lisa's weather machine goes off again.
"I don't like the sound of that!" Lori said in fear.
"What's going on? Is the storm getting worse?" Leni asked fearfully.
"Yes, Leni. From what we understand, The wind speeds are increasing significantly, meaning that it's now a severe tornado warning," Lori said fearfully.
The siblings gasp in fear, and a siren on Lisa's weather machine begins blaring.
"And there it is," Lisa screamed and Rita and Lynn Sr. then enter the basement.
"NOBODY PANIC!" Lynn Sr. screamed.
Suddenly, the thunder starts roaring outside.
"Here it comes!" Arturo screamed.
"This is not going to end well!" Lynn screamed.
"Definitely not!" Lisa screamed and the sisters agree with Lynn's statement.
The sound of thunder begins roaring like crazy, causing the light in the basement to begin flickering and wind starts blowing violently.
"Here they come! Everybody get together!" Lori screamed and they all started getting together into a serious hug.
"I don't want our house to blow away!" Lana said in fear.
"Me neither," Lynn said in fear.
"I take back what I said before," Lisa said in fear.
"Yeah, we have so many memories in these walls," Luan said in fear.
"I'm sorry I ever ragged on this place," Luna said in fear.
"Me too," Lynn said in fear.
"We're so sorry, house!" Leni said in fear.
"Me too!" Lola said in fear.
"Same here, Lola!" Lana said in fear.
"We've been through so much together! I don't wanna lose you or Bobby's house!" Lori said in fear.
"Me neither! You might be old and creaky and full of leaks, but you're ours. And we love you!" Lincoln confessed and begged.
"It was a pleasure to be in your presence, kiddo!" Bobby said in fear.
"Same here!" Ronnie Anne said in fear.
As the winds increase with power, everyone including the Santiagos, Clyde and the pets begin trembling in fear at the impending doom that's about to hit them. After approximately three minutes of cowering, the winds suddenly cease, the thunder stops roaring, and the light stops flickering. Lisa checks her machine.
"All clear!" Lisa called.
"Wow! That only lasted three minutes. I kind of wish it lasted a little longer," Lori said in surprise.
"Don't even say that, Mom. Let's go check on the house!" Lincoln replied and the family except Lynn and Ronnie Anne all run upstairs out of the attic.
"Man, I just hope the house is okay!" Bobby confessed.
"Hey, uhh... I'll check the hole in the bathroom floor," Lynn replied as she went up with a roll of toilet paper.
"I'll be up there with you in just a second," Ronnie Anne called.
Outside, the neighborhood is littered with rubble all over. The entire family plus the Santiagos and Clyde are looking at their house with deep concern. A passing bicyclist approaches them.
"Yikes. You guys were hit hard," a bicyclist replied.
Suddenly, the house is revealed to be just the same.
"Nope, this is how our house always looks. And we wouldn't want it any other way," Lincoln explained.
"Yep, you said it, kiddo," Bobby agreed.
"And let's keep it that way for as long as we can remember," Lori agreed.
"I agree," Ronnie Anne agreed.
"Yep," Maria agreed.
"Same here and I wouldn't have it any other way," Arturo agreed.
"Well, We're going out to survey the damage and see if anyone needs help," Maria explained.
"We'll be back in a few," Clyde replied.
"All right. Be safe," Lynn Sr. informed them.
Maria, Arturo, and Clyde then go to check out the damage caused by the deadly tornado.
Okay everyone, back inside. You father's about to open the door," Rita called as Lynn Sr. attempts to open the door, only for the door handle to break off and they were surprised.
"Looks like we're gonna have to get those handles fixed," Lori said nervously.
"Well, it looks like everything shall be fixed in the next few days or so," Luna said happily and they all agreed with Luna, knowing things will be okay in the next few days.
