I do not own anything in these stories. All rights go to the show's creator Chris Savino and the current showrunner, Michael Rubiner.
It was the afternoon of Wednesday, September 24, 1986 in the Loud House as Lori and Bobby were walking Lincoln and Lily up to something.
"Ah, yes. Here it is. The Loud Family trophy case. My sisters have done some pretty impressive stuff to get in here," Lori narrated as they show the trophies in their proper spots, "There are Lynn's soccer trophies, Lola's pageant crowns, Lisa's Junior Nobel Prize. And look. Even my daughter has won her thumb sucking contests! Wow, there seems to be a contest for just about anything these days, and then there's us."
Lori then shows them Lincoln's spot as well as her spot, which they were both vacant and she continued, "Sadly though, we have tried everything to get into these two trophy cases. But nothing seems to have worked for either of us. And some of these attempts even led to Lincoln being beaten up and put in the hospital by my abusive parents."
With that, a series of flashbacks begins to take place.
In the first flashback, Lincoln is shown running a marathon, but not only does he arrive at the finish line hours after it had finished, he also ends up being stopped by Lynn Sr. and Rita, who were not only furious with him because he wanted to win something, but they end up beating him up and severely injuring him. But Lori immediately became alerted to it, and called for help. A few minutes later, an ambulance came in, and some medical staffers came to take Lincoln to the hospital, and Lori came along with them while staring at her parents in anger.
Next in the second flashback, Lori was in a karate tournament, and she chops a wooden block, and everyone cheers for her, knowing that she has good skill, only for her parents to come in and become furious with her as they both prepared to beat her up for it, but in retaliation, she ended up fleeing from them very quickly before her parents could get them.
And finally, in the third flashback, Lincoln was competing in a beauty pageant, which is usually Lola's territory.
"And the winner of the Little Miss Cutie Pie Pageant is...Lindsey Sweetwater!"
In response, he and Lori both sigh a breath of relief given that their parents were not there this time around before the flashback ends and returns to reality.
"But now, we might finally have a real chance this time! Because this Friday is The 6th Grade Video Contest," Lincoln added, "Whoever's home movie gets the most votes wins this beloved beauty."
At that moment, he fantasized the 6th Grade Video Contest trophy being on display, breathes on the glass, and draws a heart around it.
"You really think you're going to win, Lincoln?" Lori asked in surprise.
"With what I have planned, I'm a shoe-in." Lincoln said before Ronnie Anne suddenly wiped it off, indicating that she was paying another visit here in the Loud House.
"Well, let's be honest, brother. You said the same thing about the Cutie Pie pageant," Ronnie Anne said in disbelief.
"Well, I was robbed!" Lincoln said defensively, "But you weren't there, Ronnie Anne. And you don't know anything about it."
"Ugh!" Ronnie Anne groaned as she facepalmed, "Not again."
"Not to worry, kids. I'll go get the camcorder ready," Lori said as she went to grab her camcorder.
Later, Lincoln was wearing some kind of uniform for a stunt as Lori and Bobby begin filming it on a blank VHS videocassette and Lily and Ronnie Anne were watching with excitement.
"Are we rolling?" Lincoln asked them.
"Yep, we're rolling," Lori said, still holding the VHS camcorder.
"Let's get the ball going!" Ronnie Anne cheered.
"Goo!" Lily agreed.
"Go get them, boy!" Bobby cheered for Lincoln.
With that, Lincoln then started speaking in character, "Hey, sixth grade! Lincoln Loud here! Ever wonder what happens when 672 breath mints meet 88 gallons of Dr. Pepper, Cola and Pepsi? Well, you're about to find out!"
With that, Lincoln immediately starts riding on Lana's skateboard off a ramp onto a catapult where he is launched by Charles and Cliff into a swimming pool full of soda, causing the soda and mints to shoot out like a geyser, drenching everybody near it in soda.
"That was amazing!" Bobby exclaimed as he, Lori and Ronnie Anne were all now drenched in soda.
Lori, who was also drenched in soda, licks some of the soda off and spoke, "Mmmmmmm. And tasty, too! Such a spectacular stunt!"
"Wow, I can't believe what just happened!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed, "That was absolutely incredible!"
"You're right. Everyone's gonna vote for this," Bobby exclaimed.
"Yay! Lily love stunts!" Lily agreed.
However, a while after being shown at the school, sadly, the video doesn't have any votes at all.
"Mom, Dad, why isn't anybody voting for this?" Lincoln asked desperately.
"I don't know, Lincoln. But Ronnie Anne knows," Lori explained to him, "Ronnie Anne, do you know why?"
"Maybe because they're all voting for Clyde's HamstaCamCorder video that we found out earlier today," Ronnie Anne replied.
Cutaway to Lori, Bobby and the kids visiting Clyde's house as he was the five of them his famous home movie of what is simply a hamster just running around in his wheel like any other hamster. Then the cutaway ends and goes back to the five of them.
"Clyde told me that it has fifty votes so far," Ronnie Anne explained.
"50 votes?!" Lori, Bobby and Lincoln all exclaimed in shock.
"Man, what's so great about some dumb hamster home movie or something like that VHS or Betamax wise?" Lincoln asked in annoyance.
But Geo overheard that and chitters at them angrily.
"No offense, Geo. You're awesome." Lincoln apologized.
Lori's phone then goes off, "Hold on, I think we have a phone call." Lori then picks up the phone and answers, "Hello."
"Hey, is Clyde there? Last name McBride?" Mollie called on the phone.
"No, Clyde is not here right now, but Ronnie Anne is," Lori spoke to the phone before she handed the phone to Ronnie Anne, "Hey, Ronnie Anne, I think you should speak with somebody."
"Okay, Mom. I'll get it," Ronnie Anne replied as she grabbed the phone and answered, "Hey, Mollie. How are you doing? How is everything going about Clyde's HamstaCamcorder?"
"Nice try, Ronnie," Mollie replied on the phone, "Honsetly, I think you guys should go to Luan's stuff for some real tips. Her add-in's on television are sick. It's called the Laugh Out Loud COMEDY CENTER INTERSTITALS."
"Sick? Oh, no! Do you think they have a virus!" Ronnie Anne yelled.
"No! It means awesome, Ronalda!" Mollie exclaimed on the phone, "Check it out on the television and you'll find out!"
With that, Ronnie Anne does so as he turns on the television as it shows LUAN OUT LOUD'S COMEDY CENTER INTERSTITALS.
"Well, that's quite cute," Lincoln explained, "But how many people wanna watch Luan..."
But while Lincoln spoke, they noticed Luan's fan total on the notepad that Lori wrote meaning she must have taken some notes during the time.
"Wait a minute, 142,000 in Nielsen Ratings?!" Lincoln said in shock before he turned to the other four, "Guys, do you know what this means?"
"Does that mean a lot of people in the state of Michigan waste a lot of time on television?" Bobby asked.
"No! It means Luan can help us win the video contest!" Lincoln suggested.
"Poo!" Lily agreed.
"Hmmm... yeah, Luan really does have a knack for comedy indeed," Ronnie Anne agreed.
"Lincoln's right! Come on!" Lori agreed.
A few moments later, Luan is looking over Lincoln's videotape, "Mm-hmm..."
"Pretty sick, right?" Lincoln asked.
"That means awesome." Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah, not in this case." Luan said.
"What?!" Lori, Bobby, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne all said in shock.
"Sorry, guys. Stunts are so last year," Luan then suggested, "If you want to win the contest, you have to make funny videos."
"Well, Luan, if you're really thinking that way, how do you make those?" Lori asked her.
"Easy. You just follow my one simple rule. Keep your camera on at all times, because you never know when you'll strike comedy gold. Ooh! Like this!" Luan yelled before she films Bobby picking his nose.
"Gross!" Lori yelled in disgust.
"Poo-poo!" Lily yelled in disgust.
"Aw, come on! Erase that!" Bobby yelled in disgust.
"Don't worry, Bobby. I would never show it to the public without your permission," Luan explained, "Besides, I said comedy gold, not digging for gold." Luan joked then laughs.
"Jesus Christ," Lori replied in disgust while Lily raspberries at Luan.
"April Fool loving cretin..." Ronnie Anne grumbled to herself.
A few hours later, they were figuring on doing something great for the contest.
"We've had the camera on all day! Where exactly is this comedy gold?" Lincoln asked beat and then asked, "Mom? Dad? Are you listening to me?"
"Sorry, boy. We were just worried that Lynn was going to accidentally step on that rake, resulting in a series of escalating mishaps," Bobby explained.
"Escalating mishaps?!" Lincoln said in fear, "Dad, We can't do that, because we'll end up making the girls angry!"
"Yes, Bobby! There's got to be something to please my sisters!" Lori suddenly agreed with Lincoln in a stern tone, "Maybe we should think about anything but a series of escalating mishaps."
"Looks like you're right, Lori," Bobby replied, "Maybe we should think about something else."
With Lynn, she was bouncing a Soccer ball off her head.
"56...57...58...59..." Lynn counted before she suddenly steps on the rake and gets hit "Ouch!" and yells in pain, causing the ball to bounce off a pole and onto her face, sending her flying onto a trampoline where she bounces off and lands in the soda pool, causing Lori and Bobby and the kids to become alerted to it.
"Oh my god! Lynn!" Lori screams as she, Bobby and the kids run over to the soda pool towards Lynn.
"Lynn! Are you all right?!" Lori said in fear as she picked Lynn up out of the soda pool.
"Come on, Junior! Speak to me!" Bobby added before Lynn coughed a few times.
"Are you feeling all right, Lynn?" Lincoln asked.
"I... I'm fine, fellas. I must have hit a rake while I was bouncing that soccer ball on my head," Lynn replied, "By the way, what are you guys doing here?"
"I... uh... er... we're trying to help Lincoln... win... a contest," Lori explained.
"A contest?" Lynn said in surprise.
"Yeah, my mom, dad, and Lincoln all told me about the 6th Grade Video Contest this coming Friday," Ronnie Anne explained to Lynn.
"The problem is, we're trying to figure out what to make in order to win the contest," Lincoln added.
"Well, I really hope you're not gonna do anything to piss us sisters off, fellas," Lynn said in a stern tone.
"Don't worry, Lynn. We're not. Besides I think you should be more careful playing with your soccer ball," Lori explained before she got an idea, "Wait a minute! That's it!"
"Mom! You got an idea now?!" Lincoln said in surprise.
"Yes, Lincoln! I sure do!" Lori said in excitement before she turned to Ronnie Anne, "Let's gather everybody up for a big sibling meeting in my room! And don't let Mom and Dad find out about this!"
"Let's do it, Mom!" Ronnie Anne responded before she and the others rushed inside to warn the other sisters.
"Sibling meeting, everybody!" Lori called for the girls which got their attention, "Everyone to our room! We got a big sibling meeting going on right now!"
"Oh boy! Sibling Meeting!" Lana screamed.
"I wonder what it's about! Come on, Lana!" Lola screamed in joy as she and Lana rushed over to Lori, Bobby and Leni's room.
"Hey, wait up, bros!" Luna screamed as she headed into their room as well.
"Yeah, wait for us!" Luan screamed as she followed Luna.
"Sibling meeting is about to commence!" Lisa announced as she and Lucy both went in, following Luan.
Inside the bedroom, Leni was setting up another sibling meeting with the younger sisters at the front and the older ones in the back.
"Come on, come on. Smaller sisters up front. Always remember that," Leni urged before she turned to Lori, Bobby, Lynn, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily who were headed for the room, "Hey, fellas! Come on! We're waiting for you!"
Yes, Leni! We're coming!" Lori said as they all entered the room finally, with Lori still holding her camcorder as she was coming up to the front.
"Okay, everybody. Thank you all for coming to our sibling meeting together," Lori announced, "I know you're all gonna be surprised but..."
"But what? Is there gonna be a big family pageant?" Lola asked.
"No!" Lori denied.
"Or maybe a big family concert with Bon Jovi, or AC/DC, or Journey?" Luna asked.
"No!" Lori denied.
"Or how about another Funny Business performance?" Luan asked.
"NO!" Lori denied, silencing the three sisters before she continued, "Now, the reason why we're here in a big sibling meeting, is because of a big contest that's happening at Lincoln's school."
"Really?!" Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa all exclaim in surprise.
"Yeah, there is," Lori said before she pulled out a paper promoting the 6th Grade Video Contest and showed it to her siblings, "So you see, Bobby and I are trying to help Lincoln win the 6th Grade Video Contest. It says that whoever's home movie gets the most votes wins this beloved beauty of a trophy."
"Oooooooooh!" The siblings said in awe.
"That's like pure gold for Linky!" Leni said in excitement.
"Wow, that's totally like solid gold," Luna said in excitement.
"Girls, please quit it," Lori said in concern as she rolled the paper up before she continued, "Anyways, the video contest is this Friday, so we must do something to help Lincoln win that trophy."
"Well, what do we do, Lori?" Lola said in concern.
"Yeah, Lori! What should we do?" Leni said in concern.
"What you're all wanting us to do... well, I know what we should do to help Lincoln win that trophy," Lori explained before she gave out the response, "Let's show everyone at his school a series of you girls showing your natural hobbies and interests."
In response, all of the siblings cheer for Lori's decision.
"All right!" Lana cheered.
"Rock on, bra!" Luna cheered.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Leni cheered.
"All right, who's up first?!" Lori asked in excitement.
"I am! I am! I am!" Lynn cheered as everyone pointed to Lynn.
"All right, everybody! Let's get to it!" Lori announced as they all cheered with Lori's decision and they began their big plan of filimg the sisters showing their personal hobbies.
First off, Lori and Bobby were filming Lincoln and Ronnie Anne playing a socccer game against Lynn and Leni out in backyard as Ronnie Anne was running in the backyard kicking a soccer ball with Lincoln assisting her and defending their goal, while Lynn was trying to chase them down and Leni was keeping watch of the opposing goal.
"Hey, slow down there, Ronnie Anne!" Lynn Sr. said exasperately as she was chasing after Ronnie Anne and Lincoln with the soccer ball.
"No way, Jose!" Ronnie Anne denied as she continued kicking the ball, "Hey, Lincoln. You defending our goal like you're supposed to?"
"Sure am, Ronnie!" Lincoln responded as he was indeed defending the goal.
"Come on, Ronnie Anne! You can do it!" Lori cheered for Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah, Ronnie! Score for us!" Bobby cheered for Ronnie Anne.
"Ha, you can't perfect my sports skills, Ronnie" Lynn said sarcastically as she was trying to take the soccer ball away from Ronnie Anne.
"Oh, Yeah! Well, bottoms up on this!" Ronnie Anne screamed back as she fired her leg up and very quickly kicked the soccer ball with her left foot, sending the ball very quickly towards the goal, knocking Leni down, and hitting the net, and scoring a point for the Santiago Siblings.
In response, Lori, Bobby, Lily, Luna, Luan, Lana and Lucy all cheer for Ronnie Anne and Lincoln due to their good sportsmanship and surprisingly skilled teamwork together.
"That's our Ronnie Anne, honey!" Lori cheered for Ronnie Anne.
"Way to go, kids!" Bobby cheered for Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.
"Spectacular work, bros!" Luna cheered for Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.
"That's some great teamwork there!" Lana cheered for Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.
"Two words: Well done," Lucy said happily as she rooted for Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.
Next up, Bobby was filming Lori and Luan setting up a prank together as Luan was placing a bucket of soda from the soda pool right above Leni and Lori's door.
"Okay, Luan. Trap's all set," Lori said politely to Luan.
"All right. When Leni comes out the door, we shall knock the bucket over at the right time," Luan explained before she and Lori both stood by.
Around that same moment, they started to notice Leni now talking on her phone with Chas.
"Oh my god, Chas. I literally had to call you right away," Leni said on her phone, "I am just so excited about what I'm doing with Lori and Linky."
"Wait for it... wait for it, Luan..." Lori said quietly to Luan as they stood by while Leni prepared to leave the room.
"I know, right Chaz? It's such a great event and I'm helping Linky and Lori out!" Leni said as she giggles while preparing to head out the door, only for her to end up getting drenched in soda from the bucket they set up.
Well, it looks like you got yourself drenched out, Leni!" Lori said before she and Luan both laughed and Leni shrugged in response.
"What was that, Leni?" Chas said on the phone.
"I'm gonna have to call you back," Leni replied to the phone.
Next up, Ronnie Anne was now filming Lori, Luna and Lincoln with their pretend band in the garage preparing to play some rock music with Lincoln playing the drums, Luna playing her axe and Lori with another electric guitar in her hand preparing to sing in heavy metal style.
"Okay, Mom. Let's give them some real rock music with Luna and Lincoln," Ronnie Anne cheered for Lori.
With that, Lori began singing AC/DC's Back in Black in a heavy rock voice.
"BACK IN BLACK, I HIT THE SACK"
"I'VE BEEN TOO LONG, I'M GLAD TO BE BACK"
"YES, I'M LET LOOSE, FROM THE NOOSE, THAT'S KEPT ME HANGING ABOUT"
"WHOOO! GO, LORI!" Leni cheered for Lori and her pretend band for the contest as she had her hands up like Luna's as she continued singing.
"I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE SKY 'CAUSE IT'S GETTIN' ME HIGH"
"FORGET THE HEARSE 'CAUSE I NEVER DIE"
"I GOT NINE LIVES, CAT'S EYES, ABUSIN' EVERY ONE OF THEM AND RUNNING WILD, 'CAUSE I'M BACK"
At the moment, all of the siblings were wild and rooting for Lori, Lincoln and Luna playing some hardcore rock music.
"YES, I'M BACK"
"YOU GO, LORI!" Lynn cheered for Lori and the "band".
"WELL, I'M BACK"
"YEAH, ROCK 'EM, LORI!" Luan cheered for Lori as she whistled.
"YES, I'M BACK"
"YOU GOT THIS ONE, BABE! KEEP ON ROCKIN'!" Bobby cheered before he opened up a can of Pepsi and started chugging it right away.
"WELL, I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK, BAAAAAAAAAACK"
"WELL, I'M BACK IN BLACK"
"YES, I'M BACK IN BLAAAAAACK"
At that moment, everyone was still cheering for Lori, Luna and Lincoln as they continued with their heavy rock song.
Sometime later, Lori was now filming Lincoln and Lucy reading an excerpt of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" together and Bobby was with them cosplaying the main character from said story.
"For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore nameless here forever more," Lucy read in a deep tone to fit the dark tone of the story.
Bobby began to cower in fear in response to Lucy's deep voice in their reading of the poem.
"And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain thrilled me," Lincoln read in a deep tone like Lucy, "Filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before."
"So that now, to still the beating of my heart I stood repeating..." Lucy read as Bobby hid within Lynn's bed.
"A visitor at my chamber door, this it is and nothing more," Bobby said to himself as he crept in fear for the moment.
"Presently, my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer," Lucy read deeply
"Sir!" Bobby said in fear.
"Said I..." Lucy read.
"Or Madame. Truly your forgiveness I implore," Bobby confessed as he was about to head up to the bedroom door, "But the fact is, I was napping, and so gently, you came rapping, and so faintly, you came tapping, Tapping at my chamber door that I scarce was sure I heard you."
"Here I opened wide the door," Lucy read deeply as Bobby carefully opened the door, but it turns out that Lola, Lana and Leni were right in front of him outside the bedroom.
"Hey, there, Bobby. You cosplaying for Lucy?" Lola asked suspiciously.
"Darkness there and nothing more," Lincoln read in a deep tone.
"Nice work, fellas. You really pulled off that Edgar Allan Poe tone really well," Lori said satisfyingly to Lincoln and Lucy.
"We hereby thank you gratefully for bringing up this spectacular dark performance," Lucy said in a deep tone in response as she and Lincoln take a bow.
Next up, Ronnie Anne was filming the next section with Lori training Lola for an upcoming princess pageant, as Lola is showing her posture and Lori was speaking on the megaphone.
"Well done. And turn..." Lori spoke on the megaphone before Lola turned to the viewers.
"Great work. Now wave," Lori spoke on the megaphone before waves to the viewers.
"Okay, now gives us a great big smile!" Lori spoke on the megaphone before Lola gave out a nice pearly white smile, "Excellent work, Lola! Keep it up!"
With that, Lola practices her pageant walk to reveal that all of her siblings were wearing headbands that say "GO LOLA!" on them.
"Whoo! You go, twin sister!" Lana cheered for Lola.
"Go get 'em, sweetie! Mommy loves you!" Leni cheered for Lola.
"We're counting on you, bra!" Luna cheered for Lola.
"Go Lola!" Lincoln and Lily cheered for Lola.
Afterwards, they were now filming Lana next as she and Lori headed towards the bathroom.
"Come on, Lori! We just found out that our toilet barrier started leaking!" Lana said as she carried her tool belt.
"Right with you, Lana!" Lori said as she put on an old pair of work gloves and headed to the bathroom.
But once they entered, they found out that the toilet has sprung a leak due to Lynn going number two after they filmed Lori and Lincoln playing rock music with Luna, and there was water leaking around the toilet base.
"Oh dear. Looks like we got a bunch of water leaking out of the toilet base!" Lana explained, "Lori, do you know why?"
With that, Lori investigated the leaky toilet and found out that two of the bolts in the toilet base have loosened.
"Hmmm, I think I see why now, Lana," Lori said to Lana, "I think Lynn must have made a big number two in the toilet. It was such a big number two, that it ended up causing two of the bolts to become loose, causing the toilet to spring a leak."
"Ahhh, looks like we better get to work, Lori!" Lana suggested as they went to grab some bath towels from the cabinet, "First, we got to get as many bath towels as we can so we can clean up all the leaking water around the toilet base."
"Right on, Lana! Let's do it!" Lori responded politely as she and Lana proceeded to grab the bath towels and started cleaning up all the water that leaked from the toilet base.
"Hey, Lana. You mind if I use that wrench to fix up the loosened bolt?" Lori asked politely.
"Sure, Lori. It's all you," Lana replied as she gave the wrench to Lori.
"All right, wrench. Do your thing," Lori said to herself before she proceeded to use the wrench to tighten up the loosened bolts in the back area of the toilet base.
About a few moments later, much of the leaky water had been cleaned up and Lori had just finished tightening the bolts up so that it stops leaking.
"All right, Lana! I tightened up the bolts on the toilet, so our good old toilet should definitely hold now," Lori explained, "Let's give her a flush and see if it worked."
With that, Lori proceeds to flush the toilet to see if it will leak again, but much to her surprise, the toilet does not leak anymore, meaning that their operation of fixing the toilet worked.
"All right. We did it, Lana!" Lori said happily as she and Lana high-fived one another.
"Yeah!" Lana cheered as she and Lori hugged one another.
Next up, Bobby was filming Lori, Leni, Lynn and Lincoln in their workout attire doing a workout together with Luna carrying a radio with her set to "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John.
"Come on, fellas! We need to loosen up those ancient joints for the contest!" Leni said cheerfully.
"Yeah. Yeah. Rocking it out here," Lincoln shouted.
"Yeah! We're all feelin' the burn!" Lori said cheerfully.
"We most certainly are!" Lynn said cheerfully.
"Get with the basics, girls! And one and two and..." Leni said cheerfully when something suddenly cracks inside Lincoln.
"Agh! Ow! Gah!" Lincoln said in pain.
"Hey, Linky, you okay?" Leni asked.
"Yeah, sounded like you broke your leg," Lynn commented.
"Agh! No, that was my spine," Lincoln said painfully.
"Come on, Lincoln. Keep up with us!" Leni said bravely, "You got to make sure to get physical like us!"
"Yeah, bro! You gotta stick with the basics!" Lynn said bravely.
"And get with the physical groove!" Lori said bravely as Lincoln gets back to working out with them.
"Yeah! Work that body out, fellas! Move that muscle if you want our Linky to win the contest!" Leni shouted happily as they continued working out.
Some time afterwards, Lori was now filming Lisa being a study tutor for Lincoln as she helps him out with the homework.
"Okay, so it seems like I'm able to complete all of my homework from today since you had an open space for me," Lincoln said as he was doing his homework at ease, knowing that Lisa can be a good study tutor for him after all.
"See, Lincoln? What did I tell you?" Lisa said in a satisfying tone, "It's very simple as that. If you can do your homework like how Lori and Bobby showed you, you'll get through sixth grade just fine."
"Thanks, Lisa. I knew you'd stick up for me as a study tutor," Lincoln said politely to Lisa.
At the same moment, Lori soon found out that Bobby was being a study tutor for Lynn.
"Lynn, you have a ton of work to do. So get to it, and do it now!" Bobby demanded in a stern tone.
"Why don't you do it for me, sir?" Lynn denied, "I got a game to practice for."
"No, you are not practicing!" Bobby denied as he pointed to Lynn's homework, "If you don't study and get your grades up, your gonna get kicked off your teams!"
"Hmmph! Ill have Lisa change my grades," Lynn said sarcastically.
"No! That's what Lola did before in our previous year in school!" Bobby said in an angry tone to Lynn, "Now do! Your homework! Now!"
"Okay, fine! I'll do it!" Lynn gave in as she proceeded to start doing her homework.
And last but not least, Ronnie Anne was filming Lori, Bobby and Lincoln cooking up hot dogs, baked beans and fried potatoes for dinner for the entire family as they were getting the food ready.
"One giant meal of beans, wieners and fried taters are coming right up!" Lori shouted as she took the 20 hot dogs out of the boiling pot and placed them on a large plate.
"Hot dogs are on the plate!" Lori shouted as she brought the plate with hot dogs to the dining room table.
At that same moment, Bobby was finishing up on the fried potatoes which were cooking up on a large frying pan. as he grabbed a cooking spoon and scooped up the fried potatoes out of the pan and into a large bowl.
"Fried potatoes are in the bowl!" Bobby shouted out before he brought the bowl of fried potatoes to the dining room table.
Once afterwards, the microwave beeped, indicating that the baked beans have finished cooking as Lincoln grabbed two washcloths, opened the microwave up and took the bowl of baked beans out and took it to the dining room table.
"And baked beans are finished!" Lincoln said cheerfully.
"Dinner is served!" Lori, Bobby, Lincoln and the other siblings all exclaimed in unison as they all cheered for Lori, Bobby and their children.
"Now, this is gonna beat HamstaCamcorder for real!" Lincoln said happily.
"It sure will!" Lori said happily, "Tomorrow, we're gonna bring this tape to the school and show it to the public!"
"I got to say, we did a great job together!" Luan said happily.
"Can't wait for us to get amazing results from that video!" Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Goo!" Lily babbled.
"But I really hope Mom and Dad don't find out tomorrow," Lynn said in concern.
"Stop worrying, Lynn. Nothing is gonna happen," Lincoln confessed.
"Yeah, besides. They won't find out after all," Lori said as Ronnie Anne put the camcorder away before they began eating their dinner, knowing that everything was going to turn out well in the end by tomorrow.
The next day at Royal Woods Elementary-Middle School on Thursday, September 25, 1986, all the kids are talking about Lincoln's home movie videotape of the siblings showing off their personal hobbies.
"Lincoln, your home movies are amazing! You got my vote!" A Male Classmate cheered.
"Man. Lucy's got a big interest in poems, Lincoln. She knows about Edgar Allan Poe's writing really well," A Female Classmate cheered, "And I would really love to be a workout girl like Leni when I get older!"
"Plus, your mother knows how to take good care of the family!" another classmate commented.
"Yeah, and plus you and your fellow relatives really rocked it out with an AC/DC song!" another female classmate commented, "I would love to see whatever concert Luna has plans on going to!"
As all of the kids commented about how well the results are, the siblings all smile at one another, knowing that they would win Lincoln that trophy so that he can finally fit in with the others like Lori.
"I just knew we would do it," Lincoln said happily.
"We did too, bro," Luna said as she softly punched him in the arm, "That was definitely worth our effort to get you that trophy."
Later, that afternoon, all of the sisters were walking home from school together, knowing that their plan is working.
"That was literally the best thing we have ever done together by far!" Leni said happily.
"You said it, Leni!" Luan agreed with Leni.
"Yeah, what we all did together was amazing!" Lincoln said in excitement, "And it will finally win me that trophy."
"Yeah, and we owe it all to you and your parents, brother, and even Ronnie Anne!" Lynn said happily.
"Aw, thanks," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, it was all worth it," Lana agreed.
"And everybody shall see me as a pretty perfect princess," Lola explaind.
"Well, let's be honest! We all did our fair share this time around, everybody," Lori explained.
"Yeah, that means we must have learned our lesson from the whole strike thing that happened like two weeks ago!" Leni recalled.
"Yeah, we all got to participate together like a family!" Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Yeah, it was wicked," Lucy agreed.
"And quite cool as well," Lana agreed.
But suddenly, Lori started to realize what her parents would think of what they've done.
"Lori, what's wrong?" Leni asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong, sis?" Luna asked Lori.
"Girls, I do agree with you that we all did a great job together, but..., I'm starting to realize what Mom and Dad would think about what happened," Lori explained, now worried,
"I don't know what they're gonna to do us if they found out about what we did!"
"Look, Mom. We can't get beat up by your parents," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, and we know you won't either, Linky!" Leni agreed.
"Yeah, we'd never be able to find another best friend like you guys!" Ronnie Anne agreed.
"You won't have to. After Lincoln wins the trophy on Friday, he and I will finally have a talent of being supportive to all of you sisters," Lori explained.
"That sounds great, Lori," Lynn said in excitement.
"We all had a good run, fellas," Bobby explained, "But we gotta be careful now."
"Let's be honest with you, Mom and I are starting to not feel good about this," Lincoln explained, "I feel like her parents are not going to be happy with ANY of us."
"Don't worry, guys. Mom and Dad will never know," Leni replied before they came up to the front door.
"Yeah, everything will be alright..." Lori added before they entered the house.
But just as Lori opened the door, something really shocked her along with everyone else.
Lynn Sr. and Rita were right there in front of them, and not only were they incredibly furious with Lori, Bobby and the kids, but they were also incredibly furious with the sisters as well and Rita slammed a paper promoting the 6th Grade Video Contest into her face and yelled out, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"Oh, crap! Mom and Dad found out!" Lori screamed in fear.
"Mommy!" Lily screamed in fear as Lori held her tight.
"I'm definitely not gonna make it out of this alive..." Lynn cowered in fear.
Around that same moment, their parents rant about the video that all of the siblings filmed together.
"Wait, wait, wait! Please let us explain!" Lincoln screamed in fear.
"Yeah, please give us an explanation!" Lisa confessed, agreeing with Lincoln.
"KIDS, YOU KIDS HAVE EXACTLY TEN SECONDS BEFORE RITA AND I PLAN TO SEND YOU TO BE WITH AUNT RUTH AS YOUR PUNISHMENT!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously at them.
In response, Lynn placed her hands upon her shirt, cowering in fear, while Leni, Luna, Luan, Lucy and the twins all began sweating in fear, knowing they were in serious trouble while Rita starts up a stopwatch to time the siblings' very limited time.
"Okay, okay! We'll all explain what we did together!" Lori confessed.
"YOU BETTER BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL SO CLOSE TO GETTING A SERIOUS BEATING BY LYNN'S OLD LEATHER BELT!" Rita yelled furiously before she turned to Lori, "AND LORI! YOU, BOBBY, AND THE KIDS, YOU FIVE ARE VERY CLOSE TO BEING KICKED OUT AND FORCED TO SLEEP OUTSIDE!"
"Okay, okay, okay! We'll start explaining!" Lori started confessing! So in case you were both wondering, there was this very cool 6th Grade video contest at school and Lincoln really wanted to win the contest!"
"And plus, we all went along with the whole thing," Lincoln added.
"And we had a plan to show his classmates our personal hobbies to help Linky win," Leni confessed in agreement with Lori.
"And Lily and went along with the whole thing, where Mom and I had a plan of showing my classmates our sisters' personal hobbies and interests.
"YOU WHAT?!" Rita and Lynn Sr. both snarled furiously.
"Yeah, we were supposed to help our baby bro win a video contest by working together like a big team!" Luna confessed in agreement, "But no! We just screwed up and now you're both furious at all of us!"
"I feel like we all failed as supportive sisters together," Lucy said in despair.
"And Bobby and I are pretty much failing as supportive adoptive parents," Lori said in despair.
"What, no, you're not," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, babe, like you said, we all screwed up and now they're both angry at us!" Bobby agreed.
"Come on, Mom and Dad. We all agree with what Lori, Bobby and their kids are saying," Lola said sternly, agreeing with Lori, Bobby, Lincoln and the other siblings, "They show me practicing for a pageant for his video contest!"
"Yeah, and Lincoln just wanted a trophy to put in the case like some of us sisters!" Luan confessed.
"Look, Ma and Pop. We just wanted to show our bro's classmates our personal hobbies!" Luna agreed.
"Yeah, and I wanted to show them one of my personal workouts!" Leni agreed.
"And Lincoln and I were just playing sports!" Lynn agreed, "I can't believe you both get jealous of us every time we help Lincoln with something."
"YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOUNG MAN DESERVES A TROPHY FOR THAT?!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously to the girls.
"Yes, we do!" Lana protested.
"In fact, once my boy gets that trophy, we'll do what's best to try to make things better in the house!" Bobby explained sternly.
"Yeah, please! You have to believe us!" Ronnie Anne agreed and all of the other sisters clamor in agreement with what Lori, Bobby and the kids are saying.
"No, girls! The damage has already been done... FROM ALL THIRTEEN OF YOU!" Rita said furiously pointing to the siblings who were now in shock.
"You made Lynn look like a fool!" Lynn Sr. yelled.
"And you made Lucy look like a freak!" Rita yelled.
"No, we didn't!" Lynn protested, "You don't understand anything we do to help Lincoln!"
"CAN IT, YOUNG LADY!" Lynn Sr. snarled furiously at the jock before he turned to the two siblings that started it, "YOU, LORI! YOU AND LINCOLN ARE THE ONES THAT STARTED THIS NONSENSE WITH YOUR STUPID VIDEO CONTEST IDEA!"
"But, Mom, Dad. Please. My sisters were just helping me and my family," Lori confessed, "It's just that I wanted everyone in town to see my sisters' personal hobbies."
"Yeah, please, you have to believe us," Luan confessed, agreeing with Lori, "We didn't do anything wrong! We just wanted to show them our personal hobbies!"
"ENOUGH TALK, YOUNG LADIES!" Rita yelled furiously, silencing Luan and Lori, "ALL OF YOU TO YOUR ROOMS THIS INSTANT! WE SHALL GIVE YOU ALL PUNISHMENTS SHORTLY!" and she then turned to Lily with an angry look on her face, "Lily, that includes you!"
"Poo..." Lily said as she sounded like she was about to begin to cry.
And in response, the siblings had no choice but to immediately head upstairs to their respective rooms.
Lynn Sr. then turned to the Santiagos and commanded, "ROBERTO! RONALDA ANNABELLA! YOU TWO ARE TO REMAIN OUTSIDE ON THE FRONT PORCH UNTIL THE PUNISHMENTS FOR OUR KIDS ARE GIVEN OUT!"
In response, Bobby and Ronnie sadly walk outside the front door to the back porch.
Once done, Lynn Sr. furiously slams the door closed and turned to Rita.
"All right, Rita. It's time to punish these kids," Lynn Sr. said in an angry tone as he prepared to storm upstairs
"Yes, Lynn. They should be punished for helping that young man when we told them that they were not supposed to long ago!" Rita said in an an angry tone.
With that, Lynn Sr. and Rita proceeded to storm upstairs to give the siblings their respected punishments, one by one.
Upstairs in Luna and Luan's bedroom, Luna was trying to explain to her father who was absolutely angry and enraged with her.
"Dad, please let me explain!" Luna confessed, "I didn't mean to make you mad! I wanted my baby bro and his mom to win a trophy together!"
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT, YOUNG LADY!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously, "YOU ARE GROUNDED! AND AS PUNISHMENT, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY ANY OF YOUR ROCK MUSIC, AND YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT PLAYING IN YOUR ROCK BAND! AND THAT MEANS YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS SAM AND CHUNK AS WELL!"
Luna's heart shattered in response to the punishments her father gave her just because she sided with her baby bro just like Lori does.
"NOW, STAY IN YOUR BEDROOM, AND DON'T EVER COME OUT! I'LL DEAL WITH LUAN LATER!" Lynn Sr. snarled before he left the room, furiously slamming the door closed behind her.
In Leni and Lori's room, Rita was extremely furious with Leni.
"Mom, please I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to upset you and Dad!" Leni tried to confess, "I just wanted to help Lori and Lincoln find a talent by helping them win that contest!"
"Sorry is not going to cut it, young lady!" Rita said furiously to Leni, "YOU ARE GROUNDED! AND THAT MEANS YOU CANNOT DO ANYMORE OF YOUR WORKOUTS, OR WATCH TELEVISION, OR SEE YOUR FRIENDS! STAY RIGHT HERE IN YOUR BEDROOM, AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING OUT!"
With that, Rita left Leni's room, but Leni wanted to confess with her some more.
"No, Mom! Wait! I didn't mean to..." Leni tried to explain further but Rita furiously slams her door closed, silencing her in response.
"Ugh! Great!" Leni grumbled to herself, "I can't even leave the bedroom! I think that is is Mom and Dad's fault!"
In the twins' bedroom, Rita was extremely furious with Lola and Lana as they hugged one another while begging for mercy.
"Mom, please. We're sorry! We wanted to help Lori and Linky win that trophy!" Lola bawled her eyes out in fear.
"Yeah, Mom! Please, you got to believe us!" Lana agreed with Lola, "We are both sorry!"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT, YOU TWO!" Rita snarled at the twins as she prepared to give out their respected punishments, "AND YOUR APOLOGIES ARE DENIED! LOLA LOUD, NO MORE PAGEANTS FOR YOU, AND LANA LOUD, NO MORE DOING ANYTHING DIRTY! AND YOUR FATHER AND I WILL TAKE ALL OF YOUR PETS BACK TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER IF YOU BOTH DO IT AGAIN!"
Lola and Lana's hearts shattered in response to their mother being furious towards them.
"AND LOLA! IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HELPING LORI AND LINCOLN OUT WITH SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THIS AGAIN, YOUR FATHER AND I WILL SELL ALL OF YOUR PRINCESS STUFF AND I'LL SEND YOU TO BE WITH AUNT RUTH UNTIL SUMMER BREAK! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"
"Ye-ye-yes, Mom" Lola whimpered..
"GOOD, NOW BOTH OF YOU STAY IN YOUR ROOM AND DON'T EVER COME OUT!" Rita yelled furiously as she stormed out of the twins' bedroom.
In Lisa's room, Lisa was confessing to her father, who was outraged with her for doing something that he thought was stupid.
"Paternal unit! I didn't mean to make you upset!" Lisa confessed, "I just wanted to help my elder sister and "brother" units win a trophy for that contest, and prove that I'm a great study tutor for Lincoln!"
"CAN IT, YOUNG LADY!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously at Lisa, "YOU ARE GROUNDED JUST LIKE LUNA! AND AS PUNISHMENT, YOU ARE NOT DOING ANY MORE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, AND YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT YOUR DREAM AS A SCIENTIST AND YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT BEING A STUDY TUTOR FOR THE KIDS!"
Lisa's heart shattered in response to the punishments given to her.
"AND NOT ONLY THAT, LISA! IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HELPING THEM OUT WITH SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THIS AGAIN, I WILL SELL ALL OF YOUR SCIENCE STUFF AND SEND YOU TO BE WITH AUNT RUTH JUST LIKE THE TWINS, LYNN AND LUCY!" Lynn Sr. snarled at Lisa, "AND YOU WILL BE WEARING ONE OF YOUR OVERNIGHT DIAPERS TO BED TONIGHT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"
"Ye-ye-yes, P-p-paternal unit," Lisa whimpered.
"GOOD, NOW STAY IN YOUR ROOM AND DON'T EVER COME OUT!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously as he stormed out of Lisa's bedroom with the belt still in his hand.
In Lynn and Lucy's room, Rita was extremely furious with them both as the two sisters begged for mercy.
"Mom, come on. Lori and Lincoln are special to us! We wanted the two to have a talent together!" Lucy begged her mother.
"Please you have to forgive us, Mom!" Lynn pleaded her mother, "I wanted to show them my big passion for sports!"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT, YOU TWO!" Rita yelled at the two girls as shre prepared to give out their respected punishments, "YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO HELP THOSE TWO TALENTLESS IDIOTS! AS A RESULT, YOU TWO ARE GROUNDED AS WELL! LYNN LOUD JUNIOR, NO SPORTS FOR YOU, AND YOU WILL NOT BE WEARING ANYTHING DEALING WITH SPORTS! AND LUCY, YOU ARE FORBIDDEN FROM WRITING ANY POEMS, AND YOUR BOOK WILL BE KEPT IN OUR BEDROOM! AND ANYTHING DEALING WITH VAMPIRES OR DARKNESS WILL BE THROWN OUT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN!"
Lynn and Lucy's hearts shattered in response to their mother being furious towards them.
"AND NOT ONLY THAT, IF YOU HELP LORI AND LINCOLN OUT WITH SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THIS AGAIN, YOUR FATHER AND I WILL SEND YOU ALONG WITH THEM TO LIVE WITH AUNT RUTH!" Rita snarled furiously at the two sisters, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"
"Ye-ye-yes, Mom" Lynn and Lucy both blubbered.
"GOOD, NOW BOTH OF YOU STAY IN YOUR ROOM AND DON'T EVER COME OUT!" Rita yelled furiously as she stormed out of the bedroom with the hairbrush in her hand.
In Luan and Luna's room, Lynn Sr. was facing Luan with an extremely furious look on his face, and Luan tried to confess with him.
"Dad, please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean for us to get you and Mom angry again!" Luan confessed with her father, "I swear, Lori and Lincoln were only doing what you said! And Lily was with them!"
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK, YOUNG LADY!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously, "YOU ARE GROUNDED JUST LIKE LUNA! AND AS PUNISHMENT, YOU ARE NOT DOING ANY MORE COMEDY-RELATED THINGS! AND YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT YOUR FUNNY BUSINESS JOB AS WELL AS MAKING PUNS BECAUSE OF YOU GOING PSYCHO EVERY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!"
Luan's heart shattered in response to the punishments her father gave her.
"But, Dad, please! I'm sorry! I was only doing what's right for them!" Luan pleaded.
"Well, guess what?! You and your siblings have all broken your unspoken rule," Lynn Sr. continued as he raised his voice again, "NEVER EVER SHOW A HOME MOVIE TO THE PUBLIC WITHOUT SOMEONE ELSE'S PERMISSION!"
Luan then realized something and spoke while she started crying slowly, "I can't believe I didn't tell them that. And is there a reason why?"
"YES! BECAUSE! IT'S! UNSPOKEN, YOUNG LADY!" Lynn Sr. snarled at Luan once more, "NOW YOU AND LUNA STAY IN YOUR BEDROOM, AND DON'T EVER COME OUT!"
With that, Lynn Sr. left the room, furiously slamming the door closed behind her and Rita and Lynn Sr. faced Lincoln's bedroom door, knowing that they were saving the ones who caused it for last as they started storming towards the bedroom door.
Inside that particular bedroom, Lori and Lincoln and Lily were cuddling together in fear, knowing they were in serious trouble.
"I am not going to like what's coming, Mom!" Lincoln said in a frightened manner.
"Me either, sweetie!" Lori said in a frightened manner while she was cuddling Lily up in her arms.
"Wiwy want wove and comfort," Lily whimpered.
"I really hope they don't give you any harsh punishments, Lily," Lori said softly to Lily, "I would hate to see you end up being traumatized because of them."
About a moment later, the door opened Lynn Sr. and Rita came in with furious looks on their faces with Lynn Sr. slamming the door closed behind them.
"All right! I really hope you're all ready to start explaining about this!" Lynn Sr. snarled.
But studying the looks of the three, it was evident that Lily was whimpering, Lori and Lincoln had deep frowns of guilt, but neither parent cared about it.
"Lori! Lincoln! Lily! I suppose you three know what we're here to talk about!" Rita said furiously as the three nodded before she and Lynn Sr. both asked the soul-piercing question. "Why?..."
Now, there was some initial hesitation from the three relatives. Their main reason why Lori and her sisters wanted Lincoln to win a contest began to hit them back big time and began to boil down to one simple thing.
"All right, We'll start explaining!" Lori confessed, "Like we said, there IS this very cool 6th Grade video contest at school and Lincoln really wanted to win the contest!"
"And Lily and went along with the whole thing, where Mom and I had a plan of showing my classmates our sisters' personal hobbies and interests.
"YOU WHAT?!" Rita and Lynn Sr. both snarled furiously.
"Well, we were supposed to help Lincoln win a video contest by working together like a big team!" Lori confessed, "But no! We just screwed up and now you're both furious at us! I feel like I am failing as a supportive sister and as a mother."
"I can't believe you both! Why would you show your sisters' personal hobbies and interests for some stupid goddamned video contest?!" Rita snarled furiously, "Not only is it a stupid idea, but you can get yourselves in trouble for that!"
"You have got to be kidding us!" Lori denied, "That is not a stupid idea! But hey, at least, it's better than a series of escalating mishaps!"
"Yeah, my mom helped Lola practice for her next pageant," Lincoln confessed, agreeing with Lori, "they wanted me to win a trophy to put in my case like some of our sisters! Mom and I just wanted to show my classmates our sisters' personal hobbies, including Leni's physical workout sessions! And plus Lynn and I were just playing soccer!"
"YOU REALLY THINK YOU DESERVE A TROPHY FOR THAT, YOUNG MAN?!" Lynn Sr. yelled furiously at Lincoln.
"I most certainly do!" Lori denied what her father said, "It's the only way to make sure Lincoln has some form of talent!"
"Once I get that trophy, Mom and I and all the others will do what is best to try to make it up to you!" Lincoln confessed, "Please, you have to believe us!"
"No! Most of the damage has already been done from all three of you!" Lynn Sr. snarled furiously, "Therefore, you three are grounded indefinitely!"
"Lori Marie Loud! We are severely limiting your driver's license, you can only take it to school and work and you cannot take Lincoln or Lily to fun places!" Lynn Sr. said to Lori in an angry tone, "Not only that, you are forbidden from cooking for the family, watching over your sisters, cleaning the house! And you are also forbidden from seeing pretty much all of your friends! But you're lucky that Bobby is still going to live with you! But since you're grounded, you'll be sleeping in this room with Lincoln instead of Bobby!"
In response, Lori whimpered and looked at the floor in shame, knowing her parents were punishing her just because she and Lincoln wanted to have a talent like the other girls.
"Lincoln Lawrence Albert Loud!" Lynn Sr. said to Lincoln in an angry tone, "The punishments I'll give out to you will teach you a strict and severe lesson for trying to win a trophy for some stupid video contest! You are forbidden from reading comics, playing videogames and watching television! And you are forbidden from speaking with your friends, Clyde especialy! And you cannot make contact with any of the sisters either!
In response, Lincoln's heart literally shattered upon that statement. With Rita, she turned to Lily in anger.
"Lily Rose Loud!" Rita said to Lily in an angry tone, "Since you sided with Lori and Lincoln on this, you are not allowed to waddle around the house, and you are forbidden from watching television as well!"
"Poo..." Lily said in despair.
"Oh, and here's another punishment for siding with Lori and Lincoln!" Rita said in an angry tone before, all of a sudden, she smacked Lily in the face at least three times.
"WAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Lily cried as a response from Rita smacking her in the cheeks before Rita turned to the other two.
"And Lori! Lincoln! This next punishment that we shall give you... will be a very harsh punishment!" Rita said in an angry tone.
"This is going to teach you both a very severe, strict, and painful lesson that you will remember!" Lynn Sr. said in an angry and harsh tone.
At that same moment, Rita raised her right hand in a slapping motion.
Now, Lori and Lincoln were truly terrified. They knew they were in for some serious pain.
"This is gonna hurt me way more than it's gonna hurt you both!" Rita snarled.
In response, Lori and Lincoln started shaking their heads in fear.
"No, please! We promise we'll listen!" Lori begged her mother.
"Please, I just wanted to have a talent, but we didn't mean to upset you!" Lincoln begged for mercy, "Please don't hit us!"
"It's too late for that, you two! After everything that happened and you both trying to be one step ahead of us again, YOU HAVE LEFT US ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE!" Lynn Sr. snarled as he and Rita were about to give them another punishment.
"No!" Lori and Lincoln screamed in fear said with tears streaming down their faces.
Without another word, Rita and Lynn Sr. began giving out the harsh punishments. First off, Rita and Lynn Sr. both swung their hands down onto Lori and Lincoln's faces, slapping them both very hard, much harder than they could.
First off, the two parents respectively swung forehand, then backhand, and vice-versa all across Lori and Lincoln's faces. The parents did about 14 total slaps total to them both, who were now crying in pain both with slightly swollen cheeks and Lori gaining a black eye, not just from the slaps themselves, but the fact that Lori's own mother had hit her even harder then the previous time her mother did it to her a few years back.
After the last slap, Lori and Lincoln went over to their bed and started to cry their tears out after the traumatic endurance they had endured.
"NOW LET THAT BE A LESSON TO THE THREE OF YOU! NEVER, EVER, DO SOMETHING THIS STUPID EVER AGAIN OR WE WILL SEND YOU TO STAY WITH AUNT RUTH UNTIL LILY GRADUATES!" Lynn Sr. snarled at them, "NOW, STAY IN YOUR BEDROOM, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE, AND DON'T EVER COME OUT! AND NO DINNER FOR THE THREE OF YOU!"
With that, Rita and Lynn Sr. left the room and Lynn Sr. furiously slammed the door closed.
A few moments later, Lori and Lincoln slowly got up from his bed with Lori covering her black eye and Lily began to cry heavily from all the damage that their parents dealt them altogether.
"Oh, Lily Wiwy, Don't cry," Lori said softly while she was tearing up as she picked Lily up and cuddled her in her arms and cradled her.
"Waaaaaaahhhhh! Wiwy not being loved!" Lily cried heavily and bawled her eyes out.
"Shhhhhh. Of course you're being loved, sweetie," Lori spoke softly as she was still cradling Lily, "You're in Mommy's arms right now. It's gonna be alright."
A few moments later, Lily stopped crying, "Mommy."
"There, Lily. It's alright. Don't cry," Lori spoke softly to Lily.
At the same moment, Lincoln was looking at the mirror on his dresser to see that he had swollen cheeks on his face, knowing that he had gone through a very harsh punishment from the Loud parents, and he was sniffling and was shedding tears.
"What did I do to deserve this?" Lincoln said sorrowfully, "I was so close to winning that trophy, but those awful parents falsely punished me for it. But at least I didn't get hospitalized this time."
Just then, Bobby and Ronnie Anne came into Lincoln's bedroom in to see what was happening.
"Hey, Lori, Lincoln..." Bobby said as he and Ronnie Anne came in to find out that Lori and Lincoln were both softly crying, and Lori was rubbing her swollen cheeks to try to sooth the pain away, and plus she had a black eye in addition.
"Oh, dear. Mom. Lincoln. I can't believe it. What happened to you guys?," Ronnie Anne said in shock as she and Bobby began to comfort Lori and Lincoln.
"Oh, guys. I can't believe Mom and Dad slapped us in our faces several times," Lori said as she sniffled, "And plus, Mom gave me a black eye."
"Oh, babe, that sounds awful," Bobby said as he comforted Lori.
"Plus, I can't believe her own father slapped me in the face a lot of times," Lincoln said as he was shedding more tears.
"Oh my god, Lincoln," Ronnie Anne said in shock as she comforted her brother.
"Well, I guess the trophy I was very close to winning has just turned to dust now," Lincoln said sorrowfully as he had no choice but to give in, "Well, HamstaCamCorder, looks like you win."
Suddenly, there is a cutaway gag showing extra footage of the HamstaCamcorder videotape shows the hamster slipping out of his wheel and getting sprayed by his drinking tube before it cuts back to reality with Ronnie Anne comforting Lincoln and Bobby comforting Lori and Lily.
"Now, come on, brother, don't go blaming yourself because those abusive parents punished you and Mom for no reason just because you wanted to wind some sort of video contest," Ronnie Anne said as she was comforting Lincoln.
"Yeah, Lincoln, and I still can't believe we upset Mom and Dad over this," Lori said while she was still cuddling Lily and Bobby was still comforting Lincoln.
"Well, I guess it's kind of hard for anyone to have the camcorder on you all the time," Lincoln replied.
Suddenly, they all get an idea.
"Wait a minute. Say that again, Lincoln," Lori said in surprise.
"I said that it's hard for anyone to have the camcorder on you all the time," Lincoln repeated himself.
"Camera on you all the time! Yes, that's it!" Lori exclaimed as she and the others slowly got up, "Let's gather all of the girls up for a secret sibling meeting! And please don't let Mom and Dad find out!"
"We're on it, babe," Bobby responded as he, Lori, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln all got the siblings together for a secret meeting.
A few minutes later, Lori, Bobby and the kids were holding a secret meeting without letting Mom and Dad know. While at the meeting, they notice that some of the sisters were emotionally scarred due to their parents falsely punishing them.
"This is just great. We were all doing great, and all of a sudden, our parents destroy our chance of helping Lincoln win," Lola cried.
"Yeah, I still can't believe that my own Dad would yell at me so much just because we broke the unspoken rule," Luan cried.
"Yeah, we both got yelled at by our father just because I took part by playing a great rock song," Luna cried.
"Yeah, it was all for nothing," Lynn cried, "We didn't deserve to be punished by Mom and Dad. Now what?"
Lori then stood up and spoke, "Okay, now we know our plan to help Lincoln win that Video Contest trophy end up blowing up in our faces because our parents got jealous."
"Yeah/We all understand/We know/We get the idea/It's been said," all of the siblings replied in unison, one by one.
"Okay, so Luan, I'd like to ask you something," Lori said to Luan.
"Yeah, what is it, Lori?" Luan asked Lori.
"So, one time, you said your one simple rule for your Funny Business is to always have your camera on, right?" Lori suggested.
"Yes, Lori. That is correct," Luan replied, "Plus you and Bobby and your kids are innocent."
"Then it means that we're going to have to work together to do something that will help us make up with Mom and Dad," Lori suggested.
"Like what?" Lynn asked, "Mom and Dad have just forbade us from doing whatever pleases us."
"Lynn, please..." Lori said in concern before she continued, "Luan, we are going to do something that we never thought we'd do."
"You mean...Comedy Fort Knox?" Luan said as she got an idea.
"Yep. It looks like we are going to have to make a new home movie," Lori suggested, "A new one where we embarass ourselves in order to make up to Mom and Dad for what we have done."
In response, all of the siblings got the same idea as well.
"Sounds like a good idea, Lori," Lola said solemnly.
"Hey, Lola, cheer up," Leni said as she comforted Lola, "I'm lucky I didn't get beaten mercilessly or swatted on the butt. But don't worry, we're all doing it together."
"That's right, Leni. We're doing this to try and make up for Mom and Dad, with Luan's Comedy Fort Know!" Lori announced, "Now, let's get to filming."
With that, Lincoln with help from Bobby, Lori, Ronnie Anne, Lily and the rest of the siblings were now filming a new home movie about themselves.
Lincoln then began announcing, "Hey, sixth grade! Lincoln Loud here, along with my family! And we got something to say to you all!"
"Ever wonder what happens when one sister and her siblings mess up together and embarrass their parents?" Lori asked them, "I didn't think you would. And it is best if you don't know."
"But this is how you fix it," Lincoln added before he turned to Luan, "Luan!"
With that, Luan came on, holding up a copyright card, "For legal reasons, everything that you are about to see in this new home movie videocassette is legally provided courtesy of Luan Out Loud, LLC. All right reserved, patent pending."
"Thank you, Luan. We love you!" Lori said before she blows a kiss to the screen, "All right! Let's light 'em up, folks!"
With that, the montage of embarassing moments starts.
The first clop shows Leni in her pink tank top and light blue panties and Lincoln in his underwear, who were in her bedroom and Leni was holding a photo of her boyfriend Chas.
"Oh, Chazzy-wazzy bear. I literally cannot say I'm not surprised you would ask me out for a date at the food court in the mall. I've seen the way you literally look at me in the lunch line while we're at school."
Afterwards, the next clip showed Lincoln and Luan dancing around in some silly clown outfits together while juggling balls.
The next clip has Lincoln combing his one chest hair and for some reason watering it.
Afterwards, there was a clip of Lori, Bobby, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily all watching a sappy reality show about a man choosing his woman.
"Bentley, will you accept this rose?" a man on TV asked while Lincoln and Lily start weeping.
"Oh, boy. So beautiful," Lori said as she and Bobby both started weeping.
"I agree, Mom," Ronnie Anne agreed as she was weeping as well.
Then comes some footage of Lori, Bobby Lincoln and Ronnie Anne all in their underwear both reading some of Lincoln's comic books together.
"Ooh, yeah. This comic is so cool! Quite possibly the savviest comic I've read as well!" Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Yeah, I totally agree, Ronnie Anne!" Lori agreed as she was reading a comic as well, "It seems like Ace Savvy is one of the greatest superheroes there is indeed."
"He's my favorite of them all if you don't know," Lincoln explained.
"Ahhh. I think we get it know," Bobby recalled.
Next was a clip of Luna looking at herself in the mirror with a pair of stylish rock-style jeans.
"Just like me dear favorite bands, including good ol' Bon Jovi! ALL RIGHT!" Luna yelled in a British accent before she splits, causing her to rip her jeans.
"Oof! Ooh, drafty." Luna said in her normal accent.
Next up was a clip of Lucy who was now holding a bust of a vampire.
"Oh, Edwin, I know you're forbidden to love a mortal like me, but I can't resist your piercing gaze, your sparkly skin, your icy lips..." Lucy said before she kisses the bust, but she suddenly gets its wax lips over hers.
Then, the next clip is of Lincoln sleeping with Bun-Bun and sucking his thumb as Lori and Lily cuddle up with him.
Afterwards, their next clip is of Leni cutting a fart and Lincoln walking by and falling over from the stench.
The next clip consists of Lola and Lana chasing one another down the sidewalk, but they both trip on one another and fall right onto the concrete.
The next clip has Lori and Lincoln both singing while they're is in the shower,
"Oh, girls, they wanna have fun, oh, girls just wanna have..." Lori and Lincoln both sang before Lincoln suddenly slips and falls.
The next clip is of Lori, Lynn and Lily at the coffee table, with bottles of water in their hands. What they don't realize, is that Lucy was sneaking behind them and is trying to scare them. Suddenly, Lucy jumps up from behind Lori's chair.
"BOO!" Lori, Lynn and Lily scream in response to what Lucy said and they drop their water and it splashes all over them, "Got you girls!"
"Lucy, look at what the hell you made us do!" Lori said in an angry tone.
"Yeah, you made us spill our water!" Lynn yelled in agreement while Lucy runs off laughing,
"Ugh, she literally needs to get out of this, Lily!" Lori grumbled.
"Poo-Poo!" Lily babbled angrily in agreement.
Finally, there comes some more footage of Lincoln and Leni with the Chas photo.
"Oh come on, Chazzy-Wazzy Bear. I've thought about it, you've thought about it, why are we fighting this?" Leni said before she puts on some of her breath spray, but the photo slips off the bust she taped the photo on and she ends up kissing the bust instead,
"Agh! Help!" Leni screamed with Lincoln becoming shocked at what happened.
With that, the videotape is now over and it cuts to Royal Woods Elementary-Middle School on Friday, September 26, 1986 and all of the kids are laughing at it, except a stunned Cristina who was actually attending the same class as Lincoln.
"Oh, guys, we're feeling sorry for you," a female classmate commented.
"And just to be clear, we're laughing at you, not with you," a male classmate commented.
"I knew your videotape of you and your sisters showing us their personal hobbies was a great video!" a female classmate commented, "And yet, you end up losing out to Clyde's hamster because of those abusive parents with a super embarassing video? Ouch!"
"Wow! Such a shocking video they got!" Cristina said to herself before Lincoln sighs in defeat.
"Don't worry. bro. It will be all right," Luna said softly to Lincoln.
"Yeah, Lincoln. We can get through this together," Lori spoke softly to him.
Later, the siblings were all heading back home to the Loud House.
"I sure hope that worked," Lincoln prayed to God.
"I really hope so," Lori agreed with Lincoln.
"Me too," Ronnie Anne also agreed, "I can't stand to see those parents looking angry at all of us together! It's just far too scary and cruel!
"You, me, Lily, Bobby and Lincoln, Ni-Ni. All five of us," Lori said as she patted Ronnie Anne's arm, "I wonder what your grandma would think if she ever found out what happened back home."
With that, Lori opens the door and they all find out that their parents are still unhappy.
"It didn't work bro," Luna said to Lori.
"So… are you kids still feeling guilty about it?" Lynn Sr. asked them in an angry tone.
"Look, we all know we made you both jealous you and none of us can undo it," Lincoln explained apologetically.
"Yeah, we're very sorry. But the least we could all do together was to embarrass ourselves in retaliation, that way we'd all be even!" Lori added.
"Even? Ha! You think this makes us even, young lady?" Lynn Sr. asked them sternly, "Because yours was way worse!"
"Excuse me?" Lori said in shock.
"Yeah! That video was actually hysterical!" Rita suddenly yelled out cheerfully.
"What?" the siblings all said in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Leni asked in surprise.
"That means that it was a lot of real pure comedy gold!" Lynn Sr. yelled out cheerfully.
The parents then surround the siblings and ensure that they forgive them.
"So, they're good with us now?" Lori asked them.
"Yeah, we're all good... to one another," Lucy replied softly.
"Hey, we're sorry you didn't win the trophy," Luan explained apologetically.
"Yeah, we just didn't want to upset Mom and Dad again," Lori replied softly.
"But you know, we actually really appreciate what you all did, so we decided that not only are all eleven of you kids no longer grounded, but we actually thought you all deserved something," Lynn Sr. said apologetically before he handed Lincoln a tiny trophy.
"Wow. Thanks, guys," Lincoln said apologetically.
"Oh, and we made each of you guys one as well. One for each and every one of you," Rita said as she and Lynn Sr. handed all of the siblings a tiny trophy for each person.
"Awesome!" Lori shouted happily.
"Thanks, Mom," Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa all said happily.
"Yeah, mother. Thank you," Lori said happily.
"Yes, thank you very much," Ronnie Anne agreed.
With that, Lola and Lynn hug them and Luna pats them on the head as Lincoln runs to the case and puts the trophy in his spot with Lori following close behind him with all of the other siblings as Lori puts her trophy in her trophy case as well as putting her daughters, siblings and boyfriend's new trophies in their respected cases.
"Wow. Most Improved Brother," Lincoln commented.
"I got Most Improved Mother! And you, girls all got Most Improved Daughter!" Lori said happily.
"And plus, I got Most Improved Father," Bobby added.
"Hey, Lori? Can you come over here for a second?" Leni asked for Lori before she came to her, "I just wanted to say that I think the way we all put together clips of us doing embarrassing things was really sweet."
"Yo... you do?" Lori asked in surprise.
"Yeah, and plus, we're even sisters, right?" Leni asked Lori.
"Yep, we sure are, Leni," Lori said as she held her left arm around Leni.
"So, it looks like we all take it that it went well," Lincoln explained.
"Yeah, it went out pretty good," Lori added happily.
"Although, it didn't work out as well as we had hoped," Lynn added, "But I'm glad that we made up to Mom and Dad, and we're no longer grounded."
"Come on, you guys. Let's go watch some TV down here in the TV room," Leni suggested.
"Yeah! How about we watch something we all like together to help settle our brains and noggins?" Lori suggested and they all cheered.
With that, all of the siblings plus their parents sit on the couch and spend the rest of the day watching TV together.
