[The movie begins with a shot above the clouds; the camera phases through them to reveal the town of Royal Woods, Michigan, 22 Years Ago, to which the camera pans over. A younger Lynn Sr. is dancing out of a movie theater as a song starts to play. As he goes, he finger-guns at a younger Kotaro, who is painting; he thumbs Lynn Sr. up. Lynn Sr. continues to dance in front of Flip's Fruit and Freeze cart; Flip gives him a snow cone.]

Woke up just like any morning

New day, same sunlight pouring down

[After eating said snow cone, Lynn Sr. dances past a younger Mr. Grouse, who is reading a newspaper. Mr. Grouse takes his eyes off the paper, and his eyes widen.]

Danced on to the beat I'm drumming

High hopes pulled my feet off the ground

[Lynn Sr. continues to dance. Meanwhile, a younger Rita, as a crossing guard, is busy allowing children and one teacher to cross. She looks over and covers her face with the "stop" sign, but takes a quick peek at the dancing Lynn Sr., who is now dancing in front of the school's entrance. It is love at first sight for Rita.]

Heart stopped, didn't see you coming

Felt like you took my breath away

[As Lynn Sr. shimmies over to her, Rita turns around and pulls out her compact and lipstick, putting the latter on and swishing her ponytail.]

I knew this was the start of something

And I think I knew you felt the same

[Lynn Sr. pulls Rita into a twirl. The moment he sees Rita, he too is struck with love at first sight. The two lock each other in the eyes.]

Time frozen, eyes open

Spun my world around in motion

Just a step away

Just a slip of fate

[The school bell rings, and a lot of children pass, taking Rita with them. Rita collects herself and takes one last look at Lynn Sr., who is touched; he realizes she slipped a love letter into his pocket. The scene changes to their first date at Banger's Mosh, laughing. The camera spins to Lynn Sr. doing a marriage proposal to Rita in a meadow, and spins again to them getting married before fading to them in front of the recently-sold Loud House.]

Oh, you'd never know how one simple interaction

Could lead you down a road

Where anything can always happen

The picture in our mind changes all the time

Bigger than what we'd imagined

We wouldn't change a thing about it now

Life is better loud

[Cut to inside the Loud House. Lynn Sr. notices Rita is pregnant and is surprised that the baby kicked inside the belly. Lynn Sr. is stunned for a moment, then tenderly hugs Rita's tummy. Camera flashes show baby Lori being embraced by the parents, baby Leni's sunglasses falling over her eyes after she toddles to Rita and hugs her, baby Luna playing with Lynn Sr.'s cowbell, baby Luan playing with sock puppets, baby Lynn playing soccer with her sisters and parents before kicking the ball out the window, and the parents introducing baby Lincoln to his sisters. The sisters all "Aww." at Lincoln and look at each other excitedly. The next few shots show Leni and Lori giving Lincoln a makeover, Luna showing him a rock pose before he taps her nose, Luan performing to the other sisters while using him as a ventriloquist's dummy, Lynn beating him at a game of four-in-a-row, and him about to cry and getting cheered up when his sisters embrace him.]

Ain't no stopping now

Life is better loud

[The photo zooms out to reveal a photo album. The next few photos show baby Lucy with her bangs grown out, the parents bringing baby Lola and Lana home from the hospital, baby Lisa helping Lori with her homework, and Lily posing happily. The final photo shows Lynn Sr. and Rita in front of the Loud House, followed by their eleven kids and Barney who magically appears behind them with Baby Bop and BJ getting in beside them. The camera zooms in on Lily, toddling by before cutting to her walking past the logo of the original show, on which Barney changes the "LOUD" to "Barney" by snapping his fingers.]

Oh, it feels like home no matter where we are together

Wish we'd always known the bigger crowd was always better

We wouldn't change a thing about it now

Life is better loud (In the Loud House! In the Loud House!)

Life is better loud (In the Loud House! In the Loud House!)

[Lily looks back at the logo, takes off her diaper, hits the logo, and transforms it into a castle. A second later, a banner reading "Movie" lands on the logo.]

Loud House!

Lily: "Movie!"

Present day. It is an early morning at the Loud House. Lily is heard laughing, followed by Lincoln. Cut to Lincoln's room, where the two mentioned siblings are sitting on the latter's bed.]

Lincoln: "Okay, Lily, I didn't wake you up at six in the morning just to play." [Lily laughs again.] "It's time for another lesson on how to survive in a big family."

Lily: [determined] "Poo-poo."

Lincoln: "Lesson #374." [turns on a projector; the first slide shows Lynn Sr. with a platter of burritos] "Breakfast Burrito Saturday."

Lily: [gasps] "Bawitotos!"

Lincoln: "Now that you have teeth..." [The next slide shows an image of Lily; an arrow pointing at her one tooth.] "You'll want one of Dad's famous breakfast burritos all to yourself."

[The next slide shows Lily at the dining room table with a burrito in front of her.]

Lily: [reacting to the slide] "Wiwy!"

Lincoln: "Just like your sisters."

[The next slide after that shows all nine other sisters reaching out to take Lily's burrito. Lily giggles, jumps off Lincoln's bed, and toddles her way to the slide with beady eyes.]

Lily: "Sisters!"

Lincoln: "Which means it's you against them at the table."

[The next slide shows a fight cloud from all ten sisters.]

Lily: [gasps] "Uh-oh."

Lincoln: "Don't worry, because your big brother is the Man with the Plan. Patent pending."

[The next two slides read LINCOLN LOUD: MAN WITH THE PLAN, with a "Patent Pending" sticker at the bottom left corner on one of the slides. Lily giggles again as she makes her way back to her brother.]

Lincoln: "And today's plan..." [turns off the projector and the room's lights are now turned on] "...is to get to those burritos before our sisters wake up." [sniffs the air] "I can smell 'em now.

[Lily and Lincoln see the Barney Doll on his dresser with his sleep mask covering his eyes.]

Lincoln: Oh yeah. Payback time.

[Lincoln carefully sets Lily on the floor next to him and then tip-toes over to Barney.]

Lincoln: (whispering) Barney likes to wake me up like this some days. Now it's my turn.[He then wiggles his fingers and tickles his toy dino friend all over] Tickle tickle tickle..

[Then suddenly a barrage of light and magical sparkles surrounded the stuffed T-Rex, and Lincoln stood back in awe.]

Barney: Whoa-Ho-Ho-Ho! That tickles! [He giggled as his young friends smile]

Lincoln: Barney!

Lily: Ba-ba! [The two rush to hug their big purple friend.]

Barney: Hello, you two. [He lifts them in his embrace and puts them down] You sure got me. Lincoln. [Chuckles]

[Lincoln chuckles] Hey, Barney, guess what today is. Or should I say..smell what today is.

Barney: [He sniffs the air] Oh. Breakfast Burrito Saturday! Oh-ho boy![He jumps for joy]

Lincoln: Yep! And I could use your help.

Barney: You can count on me.

Okay, Lily, it's go time!"

[Lincoln tears away his pajamas to reveal his usual every day clothing. Lily follows suit by tearing off her diaper and throws it at the door, until a splat is heard. The two siblings look over, realizing that could only mean one thing...]

Lily: "Poo-poo."

[Lincoln looks back at Lily.]

Barney: I'll..clean that up.

[In the bathroom, Lincoln changes Lily's diaper.]

Lincoln: "So all you need to do is just watch and learn." [sets Lily down on the floor] "Because around here, no one outsmarts Lincoln..." [He opens the bathroom door, only to meet something... or someones... unexpected.] "...Loud."

[The rest of Lincoln's older sisters and younger sisters just happen to be standing in the hallway.]

Lori: [smirks] "Nice try, Lincoln, but you're not the only one who remembered it's Breakfast Burrito Saturday."

Sisters: "Yay! Burritos!"

[The girls rush downstairs in burrito-induced excitement, though the Man with the Plan isn't letting a wrench in his plan ruin it.]

Lincoln: "Barney, Operation: Tidalwave!"

Barney: "I'm on it. (To himself) Sorry about this, girls. Alley OOP!" [He rushes out of Lincoln's room into the hall, takes the carpet and waves it, creating a fabric wave that sends the sisters wayward and into the open front door, which Lily closes.]

Lori: "Lincoln!"

Lincoln: "Thanks, Big guy!"

Barney: "No problem. I hope your sisters are alright, though."

[Lincoln, who had just taken the banister downstairs, high-fives his baby sister, who laughs triumphantly.]

Lincoln: "The key to having a plan is to always have a backup plan."

Lily: "Backup plan."

[At the dining room, Lynn Sr. enters from the kitchen, dancing with a plate of burritos and Barney dances to the beat.]

Lynn Sr.: " Hot, burritos, hot, hot burritos, hey! Do a little dance and move your feet-os! " [notices Lincoln, Lily and Barney at the table] "Hey! Morning, Lincoln.." [taps Lily's nose] "Hello, Lily. Morning, Barn'."

Barney: "Good morning, Mr. Loud. Those were some impressive moves"

Lynn Sr: "Why thank you."

Lily: "Bawitotos!"

Lynn Sr.: "That's right, sweetie. Bawitotos." [kisses her cheek and Lily giggles; to Lincoln] "Hey, where's the rest of your sisters? I thought I heard them coming down."

Lincoln: "Did you?" [slyly] "Huh..."

[He prepares to take a bite, but the front door opens, and the other sisters storm in and glare at the two.]

Lincoln and Barney: [about to become toast] "Uh-oh."

[The girls all jump on them and fight for the burritos, causing a fight cloud to ensue. Lincoln and Lily are revealed to have hidden under the table, safe from the fight.]

Lincoln: [sighs] "Sorry, Lily. So much for watching and learning."

[Lily reveals she has a burrito in her diaper.]

Lily: "Backup plan!"

Lincoln: [impressed] "Oh-ho-ho! The student has become the master!"

[Master and apprentice split the burrito, toast with their halves, and dig in.]

A shrunken Barney comes under with three more burritos] "Look what I got."

Lincoln: "Thanks! Guess I better call you the "Dino" with the Plan."

Barney: "Aww. [He giggles handing them two burritos] Just figured you might want seconds afterward."[He bites and eats his burrito]

[Meanwhile, the other sisters are still fighting for the rest of the burritos; Luan, Lynn, Lori, Luna and the twins are engaged in a tug-of-war, Leni uses her superior height to keep her burrito away from Lisa's little arms, and Lucy is unharmed, eating her burrito. Suddenly, a whistle is blown off-screen, ceasing the burrito brawl. Rita appears, holding the whistle.]

Rita: "Lola, we need to go if you want to make it to your recital on time."

Lisa: "Don't forget my science fair!"

Lucy: "I have the Junior Morticians' Death Match."

Lana: "I'm working pit crew at the race track!"

[The rest of the girls (sans Leni) all ramble, saying they have an activity to attend to as well...]

Lynn: "Soccer playoffs!"

Luan: "Joke-A-Palooza!"

Luna: "Don't forget my shred-off!"

Rita: [screams in shock] "You all have activities today?!"

Leni: "Not me." [Rita sighs in relief] "I just have my fashion show."

Rita: [shocked] "That's an activity, honey!"

[A frazzled Lynn Sr. enters, seeing the unprepared state of his wife.]

Lynn Sr.: "We're not prepared for this. This is a ding-dang disaster! What do we do?!" [runs around, freaking out] "Don't panic! Don't panic!" [screams] "DON'T PANIC!"

[Rita and the girls are freaking out as well, with Lynn Sr. gnawing on the doorway to the kitchen.

Barney: [from under the table] Now wait a minute, everybody.

[Lincoln, Barney and Lily pull up the tablecloth, and he comes out, snaps his fingers and grows.]

Barney: "Why don't we just take a deep breath.."[They all do so] and calm down."

Lincoln: "Yeah, relax, everybody." [They crawl out from the table as he picks up Lily, walking toward the living room] "I got this."

[Everyone smiles, knowing he has got this.]

Lincoln: "Another lesson, Lily." [sets Lily on the stairs] "It's always more important to help your family than to outsmart 'em."

[After Barney conjures headphones on himself and the infant, Lincoln pulls out a megaphone.]

Lincoln: "Alright Louds, let's go, go, go!" [puts away the megaphone and holds up Lori's golf clubs] "Lori, golf clubs."

Lori: [takes them and heads out the door] "Thanks, Linc!"

Lincoln: [holds up some measuring tape] "Leni, measuring tape."

Leni: [takes it and heads out] "Thanks, Lincoln!"

Lincoln: [holds up Luna's guitar, and a microphone] "Luna, guitar."

Luna: [takes them and heads out] "Thanks, bro!"

Lincoln: [holds up a soccer ball] "Lynn, soccer ball." [tosses it to Lynn]

Lynn: [has the ball bouncing on her head as she heads out] "Yeah-yuh!"

Lincoln: [holds up a rubber chicken] "Luan, rubber chicken."

[Luan takes the rubber chicken and laughs. Cut to outside the Loud House where the girls are heading to Vanzilla as Lincoln continues to hand his sisters their belongings.]

Lincoln: "Lucy, black veil."

Lucy: "Thanks." [heads to the van, putting on the veil]

Lincoln: "Lola, flaming baton."

Lola: "Thanks, Lincoln!" [heads to the van, twirling her baton]

Lincoln: "Lana..." [grunts] "Wrench set."

Lana: "Thanks, Linc!" [heads to the van, carrying her wrench set]

[Lincoln and Lisa walk out of the house next, with Lincoln holding a beaker of some colored liquid.]

Lincoln: "Lisa, ammonium di..."

Lisa: "Dichromate. Thank you, male sibling."

[Lisa takes the beaker and heads to the van; the parents as well.]

Rita: "Alright, we got everything?" [rubs Lincoln's head as she passes him]

Lynn Sr.: "Yup, we're good to go!"

Lincoln: [notices something] "Mom, Dad, you forgot something!"

[The parents stop walking and turn around, just in time to have Lincoln walk toward them, holding out an annoyed Lily.]

Rita: [sheepishly] "Oh, sorry, sweetie."

[Lincoln gives Lily to his mother; the infant lets out a groan in response.]

Barney: [He stands on the porch] Ba-bye, everyone! See you at the restaurant.

[Vanzilla drives off.]

Lincoln: Bye, Barney!

[On the road.]

Lynn Sr.: "Okay, where to first?"

Lucy: [in unison] "Cemetery."

Lana: [in unison] "Race track!"

Lynn: [in unison] "Soccer field!"

Lincoln: [quiets them] "Dad, Lori's first." [points toward] "Take a right!"

[Lynn Sr. floors it. At the golf course, a putt shoots the golf ball toward the hole, done by Lori. She manages to sink it in, and the crowd of people politely applaud. The Loud family on the other hand, certainly have their own way of "applause". Lincoln takes a picture on his phone and Lori is given a trophy for coming in first place.]

Lori: "Can someone please hold this for a minute?"

Lincoln: [drives a golf cart up to her] "I got it!" [Lori gives him the trophy and then takes a selfie] "Leni's next!"

[Lynn Sr. inserts the keys in to start the van and drives out of the course.]

Lincoln: "Go left! I know a shortcut!"

[Vanzilla jerks left as the smoke transitions to Leni sliding a sewing needle into a lime green dress. The model presents it and gets applause from the audience. Leni beams and walks out, squealing excitedly. The family cheers for her as Lincoln takes another picture. Leni holds up her trophy and gives it to Lincoln as he runs across.]

Lincoln: "Gotta go!"

[Back in the van...]

Lynn Sr.: "Who's next?"

Lincoln: "It's Luna time!"

[Lynn Sr. spins the steering wheel around, having Vanzilla turn another direction. Cut to Luna, on stage, performing a wicked solo on her trusty guitar. The family, including Sam, all cheer for her.]

Lincoln: "Go, Luna!" [wolf-whistles]

[Luna continues to rock out, letting out one final note, literally blowing the audience away. The family cheers for her once again as Lincoln takes another picture. Luna holds up her trophy happily. Cut to outside.]

Luna: [gives him her trophy] "Thanks, bro!"

Lincoln: [on the megaphone] "Go, go, go!"

[The Louds head inside the van while Lincoln tosses the megaphone away into the trunk, followed by one of Luna's amps, and closes the trunk. Vanzilla pulls up at the Chortle Portal next.]

Luan: [doing her stand-up routine] "Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide!" [squeezes the rubber chicken and laughs]

[One of the judges spits out her water onto another judge, having him fall out of his seat all the while laughter can be heard. The judges all give Luan a ten. Luan holds up her trophy and the family cheers.]

Luan: [calling out] "Hey, Lincoln!"

[Lincoln runs up and Luan gives him the trophy.]

Lincoln: "I got it."

[Vanzilla drives up to the soccer field. Lynn kicks the soccer ball.]

Lynn: "She shoots..."

[The family gasps in suspense. Lynn manages to make the winning goal.]

Lynn: "She scores!" [She is given the MVP trophy and is held up in the air by her teammates as the family cheers] "Lincoln, catch!"

[Lynn tosses the trophy Lincoln's way. The trophy hits Lincoln in the face but he manages to catch it.]

Lincoln: "Oof! Got it!" [falls over] "Dang it."

[Vanzilla drives past the cemetery, where the Junior Morticians' Death Match is taking place. Bertrand is given third, Haiku is given second, and Lucy is given the trophy for first as she stands up from the grave. Lucy holds it up while the two competitors applaud, as well as Lincoln.]

Lucy: "Lincoln."

[Lincoln walks over and grabs the trophy from her. Once he did, Lucy let herself fall back into the grave, smiling. Lincoln takes notice of this, circles back, and drags her away.]

Lincoln: "You're next, Lola!"

[Vanzilla pulls up at the Royal Woods Hotel. Lola performs her flaming-baton twirling for the talent portion at the pageant, and is crowned the winner. As she waves to the crowd, she notices Lincoln taking the crown off her head.]

Lola: "Uh-uh!" [slaps Lincoln's hand and takes it back]

Lincoln: "Ow!"

Lola: "Hands off!"

[Lincoln rubs his hand for a second, and shakes it off.]

Lincoln: "Come on!" [heads inside the van] "We gotta get to Lana's race!"

[The family follows suit, and Vanzilla then pulls up at the race track, coincidentally being next to the hotel. Lana, and the rest of the pit crew, just finished repairing Bobbie Fletcher's car, and the race goes underway. Later on, all the cars pass the checkered flag, and Lincoln cheers. Lana and the crew seemingly pose for a photo as a woman, holding a wreath, walks up to them.]

Lana: [points to her brother] "Lincoln will hold it."

[The woman places the wreath around Lincoln's neck. Vanzilla's last stop is at the institute.]

Lincoln: "Lisa, you're up!"

[Her focus at its highest, Lisa drops a chemical into a beaker, causing a chemical reaction. Later, she solves a complicated equation on a chalkboard, clapping the erasers. The scientists applaud, upon noticing the family's eruptions of cheer. Lisa holds up her ribbon, and gives it to Lincoln; both staring confidently.]

[It is now the middle of the evening. Vanzilla pulls up at Lynn Sr.'s restaurant: Lynn's Table.]

Sisters: [chanting and getting out of the van] "We are the Louds! Loud and proud! We are the Louds! Loud and proud! We are the Louds...!"

[The van door shuts while Lincoln, Lily, Rita, and Lynn Sr. stay behind. Exhausted, the parents let out a breather.]

[It is now the middle of the evening. Vanzilla pulls up at Lynn Sr.'s restaurant: Lynn's Table.]

Sisters: [chanting and getting out of the van] "We are the Louds! Loud and proud! We are the Louds! Loud and proud! We are the Louds...!"

[The van door shuts while Lincoln, Lily, Rita, and Lynn Sr. stay behind. Exhausted, the parents let out a breather.]

Rita: [exhausted] "Oh! We did it. Thank you, Lincoln."

Lynn Sr.: "You sure know how to keep the old Loud fam' running smoothly, kiddo."

[Lincoln smiles heartwarmingly at the compliment as gentle music plays in the background. Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, the sisters are all sat at a booth, still chanting. Lincoln, Lily, and their parents enter the scene, smiling when Barney waves at them.]

Barney: Oh Hello! Whoa!

[Scoots drives her scooter past them, having the four yelp and step back.]

Scoots: "Yeah, Loud and too loud."

Barney: I'm so glad you could make it! And congratulations, girls, girls.

Loud sisters: Thanks, Barney!

[Lincoln takes a seat at the booth and chats with his sisters.]

Lynn Sr.: [to Rita] "Honey, let's get a pic of the kids for our Loud Wall of Fame."

Barney: [to both when he conjures his camera in his hands]I'll take one for my scrapbook.

Rita: "Oh, great idea!" [pulls out her phone] "Everyone, hold up your trophies!"

[The girls start to pull out their trophies.]

Leni: "Get my good side."

Lola: "I only have good sides."

Lynn: [holds her trophy up] "Yeah!"

Lucy: [holds hers up next] "Not sure I'll show up, but..."

Luan: "Get my funny side."

Lincoln: [dodges a few trophies practically thrown his way] "Whoa! Hey! Watch out!"

[Lincoln then gets hit by another trophy as he goes flying out of the booth and hits the floor with a thud.]

Rita: "Okay, everyone, squeeze in."

[Lincoln gasps.]

Sisters: "Sisters!"

[Rita takes the photo, and the sisters all laugh.]

Lincoln: "Hey. Guys, wait for me!"

Male Customer: [offscreen] "Look, it's the Loud sisters!"

Female Customer: "Nobody tosses a baton like that one!" [pulls on her hair gently as the man seated across from her pulls out his phone]

Old Man: [spits out some of his chicken] "She embalmed my Uncle Jack!"

Male Customer #2: [pulls out his phone] "I wish my family was as talented as they are!"

[He, followed by the other customers in the restaurant, get out of their seats and run toward the Loud girls' booth. Lincoln yelps as he tries to shield himself from being stamped on. Barney stands above Lincoln with his hand out to help Lincoln up.]

Barney: "You okay, buddy?"[He smiles upon the boy.]

Lincoln: [With a sad smirk] "Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks."

[He takes his hand, gets up and sees everyone crowding around the booth attempting to get a picture with his sisters.]

Man: "Selfie!"

Woman: "Can I get an autograph?"

[Lincoln looks on, hurt and Barney, sympathetic.]

Scoots: [fed up with this] "Agh." [starts to leave] "Enough loudness. Scoots out."

[Lincoln stands up, but Scoots rams into him while Barney jumps back, having him hold onto the scooter.]

Barney: "Lincoln!"

Scoots: [notices] "Hey! You gotta pay to ride this hog, sonny."

[This takes him out the door. Lincoln then sees the doors are starting to close.]

Lincoln: "Wait!"

[Too late. The doors shut in front of him. And, to add insult to injury, it is locked from inside.]

Lincoln: "Hey!" [banging on the doors] "Hey, guys?" [moves toward the window next to the door] "I want to be in the photo!"

[No response. All Lincoln can do is just look on as his sisters are given praise, on top of praise, through the window as poignant music fades into the background. Back inside...]

Male Customer #3: "Oh, you just must be so proud of your girls."

Lynn Sr.: [holding Lily; wiping a tear in pride] "You're ding-dang darn tootin'!"

Rita: "They are very special."

[Barney goes out and sees Lincoln staring into the window]

[The parents embrace Lily, who giggles, and Barney sees Lincoln has been watching all that as his face slowly adapts to a sad, yet depressive expression, so he sighs and goes beside him placing his hand on his shoulder. The two look sadly at each other and Scoots scoots back to them...]

Scoots: "No trophy, no photo!" [laughs as she scoots off] "Loserrrrrrr!"

[Lincoln looks down. The sisters are basking in it now.]

Lynn: "Guess what?! I'm gonna be in the newspaper!"

Lola: "That lady wants to interview us on TV!"

Lori: "Most 'likes' ever!"

Lola: "Me too!"

[An electric guitar starts to play an introduction in the background as Lincoln continues to watch through the window.]

Lynn Sr.: "How cool is that?!"

Sisters: [shouting] "YEAH!" [cheering]

Lynn Sr.: "Let's go home and put these trophies on display!"

Luan: "Yeah!"

Lincoln: [sighs in despondence] "I wish everyone thought I was special..."

Barney: Oh, Lincoln.. [Lincoln starts singing]

They say it doesn't matter

How you look or where you've been

So why do I need a thousand likes

To feel like I fit in?

Lincoln walks away from the window, and out into the town of Royal Woods on a starry night and Barney follows him. A flyer blocks Lincoln's face. He takes it off him and stares at it. The flyer displays his sisters with "LOUD SISTERS!" as the header. He moves his thumb away to show he's in the photo too, but is being pushed away by Lola.]

I'd probably have it easy

If I were the only kid

But when you live with ten superstars

It's hard for you to win

[Lincoln lies down onto the pavement outside Flip's Food and Fuel, and Barney sits down next to him . Flip pushes his broom against the boy; Lincoln sits up and they look up at him. Flip angrily points to a sign saying "NO PITY PARTIES ON THE PROPERTY", and another sign ironically saying "AND NO SINGING".]

I wish I could be

Someone extraordinary

But I'm just me

And that's too ordinary

[Lincoln gets up and they both start to leave, yet Flip sweeps them away. He starts to dance across town.]

Is there ever gonna be

A place in the spotlight just for me?

[The display televisions in front of the store's window behind Lincoln are apparently broadcasting his sisters' talents. Barney looks at them melancholy and then looks at Lincoln.]

When the world can finally see

I'm special like my family

Will there be a time

When I really shine?

[During the chorus, Lincoln spins around onto a street lamp, then runs to another one. Its light casting on him goes out.]

Am I always gonna be

Plain old ordinary me? (Ah-ah-ah)

[Lincoln walks to another street lamp, and that one goes out too. Then two lights above shine onto a billboard, which displays his sisters. The scene fades to Lincoln as he finishes the song…]

Plain old ordinary me?

Am I always gonna be

Plain old, regular, boring

Unremarkable, ordinary me?

[Lincoln puts his head down onto a counter. The spotlight silhouette fades away and shows that he is now at the McBride house. Clyde and Barney stare at him, looking concerned, and Barney lightly pats his head.]

Clyde: "Ordinary? You're talking crazy."

Barney: "We don't think you're so ordinary, Lincoln. In fact I think you're very special."

Clyde:" Yeah!"

Lincoln: [adjusts his posture] "You're just saying that because you're my best friends. Name one thing that makes me special."

Clyde: "How about three? You've read every single Ace Savvy comic twice..." [Lincoln is suddenly in his Ace Savvy cosplay, and sports a heroic grin] "You're the fifth best junior magician in Royal Woods..." [Another Lincoln is in his magician attire; cards spew out from inside his hat] "And that history report you wrote? It was like I was at the signing of the Declaration of Independence!"

[That last statement proves just that, and Clyde smiles. Poof transition back to Clyde's kitchen.]

Clyde: "Oh! And you can sing. That's four!"

Lincoln: "Anyone can do those things." [groans] "Admit it, Clyde. I'm always going to be stuck in my sisters' shadows!" [buries his face into the counter]

Barney: "Still, that was a bea-UTIFUL[he jumps with glee] song. But..not everyone can do everything the same way. That's what makes us all special."

Lincoln: "I guess."

Clyde: "I know exactly what'll cheer you up." [dives behind the counter; seconds later, he re-emerges with...] "My homemade cream puffs. Or as I like to call them…" [sets them down] "'dream puffs'. JustCare for one too, Barney?"

Barney: "I certainly would. [He takes a puff, throws it in the air and into his mouth, and eats] Mm.. This is Super dee-LICIOUS, Clyde. My compliments to the chef. [He takes a bow, chuckling]

Clyde: "Why thank you, my purple friend."

Barney: "And thank you for the dream puff."

[Lincoln takes one of the puffs, and eats it, savoring the taste. It is at this moment, his emotional dam finally breaks, crying hysterically and banging the counter.]

Barney: Oh NO! Lincoln, what's the matter?

Clyde: "What?! What is it?! Too much cinnamon?! Not enough cinnamon?! Actually, the recipe doesn't call for cinnamon, but I can add it in -"

Lincoln: "No, no, no, Clyde, it's the best!" [eats another, then sobs a bit; his voice wavering] "It's just that you guys, my sisters..." [takes another puff] "Everyone is good at something. Except me..." [continues to cry]

[The camera zooms into Clyde's worried face.]

Clyde's Thoughts: "Nice one, Clyde. You just made it worse!"

Barney: "Oh, Lincoln. Of course you are. I know what else makes you special. You're great at using your imagination making your own comics, playing video games, and being a Super-Dee- Duper helper! And no matter how bad things get you always come up with ways to make things better for everyone. Your sisters wouldn't have even made it to their activities if it wasn't for you. You're the "Man with the Plan". [He winks at Lincoln.] But it's not just what you're good at or what's on the outside that makes you special. It's who you are on the inside. You're special no matter what you do. As long as you're..you. You understand?"

Lincoln: "Yeah.[Sniffles] I understand."

[Barney points his finger toward his nose, turns it into a tissue box, and hands a tissue to his sad little friend.

Barney: "Here you go, Lincoln."

Lincoln: "Thanks, Barney."[He blows his nose and wipes his tears]

Barney: [Gives Lincoln a hug and let's go.]"There there. You know, sometimes I feel the same way."

[Lincoln hears this and looks up at Barney a little surprised.]

Lincoln: "You do?"

Clyde: "You do?"

Barney: "Oh yes. Sometimes it's not so easy being me, either. I'm just too big to do certain things and my tail usually gets in the way."

Lincoln: "Yeah, but your magic is much better. You can shape-shift, turn invisible..lots of things. I mean, you come to life from a stuffed toy."

Clyde: "And you sing, dance, give helpful advice and help us use our [imitates Barney] imaginations."

Barney: "Oh..[Giggles while the two laugh together] Thank you.

Both: No problem.

Barney: Everyone has a different way of doing things, and if they practice more of what they can do even the little things can affect others in big ways. That's just what makes everyone so special.

[Barney spins away from the table as the music starts, and he sings]

You are special, you're the only one;

You're the only one like you.

[Barney rubs Lincoln's head]

There isn't another in the whole wide world

Who can do the things you do.

'Cause you are special, special

Everyone is special

Everyone in his or her own way

Oh, you are special, special

Everyone is special

Everyone in his or her own way.

Barney: "Care to join in, Clyde?"

Clyde: "You bet!"[He starts singing to Lincoln]

You're important, oh, you really are

You're the only one like you

The world is better, just because you're here

You should know that we love you.

[He walks away from the table, and he and Barney sing together, dancing along]

'Cause you are special, special

Everyone is special

Everyone in his or her own way

Oh, you are special, special

Everyone is special

Everyone in his or her own way

Lincoln: "Everyone?"

Everyone in his or her own way.

[They all spin and hi- five before the song ends. They finish with they're own poses, and Barney gives Lincoln a hug.]

Lincoln: "Thanks, guys. I know you think I am special, but I just wish everyone else would. I mean, no one makes great cream puffs like you, Clyde."

Clyde: "Well, I'm not that good at baking."

[Hearing that, Lincoln walks off.]

Lincoln: "Then how do you explain this?"

[Lincoln waves a hand at all the different trophies, ribbons, and other various awards Clyde has received in baking, and there are a lot of them.]

Clyde: "I'm just lucky." [walks toward the awards] "Baking runs in my family."

Lincoln: "What do you mean?"

Barney: Well some talents, family traditions, or even recipes can be passed down from generation to generation. It's a way of getting to know more about your ancestors.

Clyde: Yep.

[Flashback to Clyde and his Nana Gayle heading up the steps of a plane, waving goodbye to Clyde's dads, Howard and Harold.]

Clyde: "Remember when I took that trip to France with Nana Gayle?"

[The plane flies overhead, then the camera pans down to a bakery. An elderly dark-skinned woman is standing in front of it, holding a basket of bread in one hand, and a recipe book in the other.]

Clyde: "That's where I met my great Nana May, who owns a bakery in Paris."

Nana May: "Bonjour."

Clyde: "She told me about my great-great Nana Collette, who ran a crepe shop in Calais."

[Cuts to his Nana Collette outside her bakery, holding two crepes, and her recipe book]

Nana Collette: "Bonjour."

Clyde: "And my great-great-great-great-great Nana Helene, who baked for the French royal family."

[Another cut to his Nana Helene, standing inside her bakery, holding a desert, and her recipe book.]

Nana Helene: "Enchanté."

[Another flashback takes its place. Gayle holds up the recipe books.]

Clyde: "When I got home, Nana Gayle showed me their recipe books, and I made cream puffs."

[Cuts to Clyde and Gayle making the cream puffs.]

Clyde: "She said baking was in my genes, just like Nana May, Nana Collette, and Nana Helene."

[The flashback ends. Lincoln gasps excitingly.]

Clyde: "Sorry, was that confusing? It was a lot of nanas."

Lincoln: "No. You just gave me an awesome idea!" [heads off] "You're the best, best friend ever!"

[Barney playfully whistles a tune to his theme song looking upward.]

Lincoln: [Chuckles] Oh, I couldn't forget you, Barney.

Barney: [grins and blushes] Oh..

[Lincoln shuts the front door and leaves.]

[The slight impact of the door shutting seemed to have made one of the awards tilt, and Clyde adjusts it back to its correct angle. Just then, the door opens, Lincoln runs back in, then walks back out carrying the cream puffs]

Lincoln: Come on, Barney. We'll split 'em on the way home.

Barney: Ok! Ba-bye, Clyde! [He waves to Clyde and follows Lincoln]

Clyde: Cya, Barney!

[The door closes again. The award tilts, and Clyde adjusts it once more.]
