[The next day, Lincoln is back in his Duke outfit as he zips up his backpack and admires the crown he will wear while Barney puts his feather hat on in front of the mirror, walking out of his room. Outside the Louds' quarters, Morag is holding Lynn's smelly athletic supporters with tongs and grimaces in disgust.]

Lincoln: "Come on, Barney. It's time to put the "Loud" in Loch Loud."

Barney: [looking in the mirror tilting his cap sideways] "In a moment..and..done."[giggles] "Oh. Speaking of which,[conjures a scroll] I wrote up a list of changes we should make to this town."

Lincoln: "Oh, Ok."

[Barney goes to the door and opens it for Lincoln before following him.]

Lincoln: .[exits his room] "Thank you. Good morning, Morag."

Barney: [walking over to the two]"Good morning, Morag!"

Morag: "Your athletic supporter, sir?"

Lincoln: "Not mine."

[He leaves, chuckling to himself as Barney follows him. Morag approaches a painting of one of her relatives.]

Morag: [sighs] "Dear old Aggie, you so cleverly drove away those royal ruffians to have peace and quiet. How pained you'd be to hear new Louds have returned! Thank goodness it's only for a week."

[Suddenly, Lela bursts out of one of the rooms with Baby Bop on her back, with Lynn, BJ, and Lana chasing her.]

Baby Bop: "Whoa-oo! Lela, slow down!"

BJ: "Go, Sissy, go!"

Lynn: "I wanna ride her!"

Lana: "My turn!"

Lynn: "Oh, you found it! Thanks, Morag."

[Lynn takes her athletic supporter from Morag, making Morag's head go through Aggie's painting, and the wall.]

Morag: "Ow." [pulls the painting off her and hangs it back up] "Oh, poor Aggie! Look what those beasts did to you."

[Luna and Riff come out of her room playing bagpipes so loud, it sends Morag flying skywards. She lands on the ground, which causes Aggie's portrait to land on her. An explosion happens from Lisa's room, knocking Morag away, and the portrait. Lisa walks out and is holding some scientific equipment.]

Lisa: "Say ah."

Morag: "Ah..."

[Lisa takes Morag's samples.]

Lisa: "Excellent."

[Lisa heads back into her room. Morag gets back up, and Leni comes out of her room with a large bolt of fabric]

Leni: " La la la la la la la- " [accidentally hits Morag with the fabric, notices, and turns around] "Is someone there?"

Morag: "I-"

[Leni just turns back around, accidentally hitting Morag again.]

Leni: " La la la la la la... "

[Morag is sent tumbling towards the window and ends up in a wheelbarrow full of manure. She surfaces and gasps for air, only for a diaper to hit her.]

Lily: [off-screen] "Poo-poo!"

[The diaper slides off Morag's face.]

Morag: [angrily] "Only... for... a week." [one of her hairs stick out]

Angus: [offscreen] "Good day, lads."

[Morag looks over to the source, and growls. Lincoln and Barney are outside the castle, heading towards the town. Angus is holding a rake.]

Barney: [waving to Angus]"Good day to you, Angus."

Lincoln: [to Angus]"You got that right. I'm about to become the new Duke!" [Angus gasps. Music starts to play] "You might wanna tell Morag to start polishing that crown."

Angus: "I certainly will not be doing that."

[Angus gasps again. He drops the rake and follows Barney behind Lincoln, who starts singing, into town,.]

Lincoln:

I used to feel like a nobody

'Cause my sisters always steal the spotlight

[He reaches town and starts putting up posters of himself reading "Lincoln 4 Duke"]

But now I know that I can be somebody

The most special Loud in all the land

[The citizens start taking notice of his posters. He places another poster on a woman's back, who notices. He then spray-paints "DUKE" on a wall, which Angus notices, and Barney shrugs his shoulders with a nervous smile and hurries after Lincoln. Lincoln then spins around on a lamppost.]

I'm gonna turn some heads around

Make everybody know my name

I'll bring a little Loud into this quiet place

And no one's ever gonna steal my spotlight

I'll be the talk of the town

[He and Barney enter a book shop, and Lincoln puts Ace Savvy merchandise everywhere, even replacing Kat's Junk Witch comic with an Ace Savvy one, before handing out burritos to citizens along with Barney. One knocks a bearded man's fish out of his hands, having him shake his head afterward.]

This comic book's gotta go

Ace Savvy's all you should know

Have a breakfast burrito on me

[He holds a magic show at a pavilion for many citizens as Barney watches and eats his burrito, doing the "pulling gold out of someone's ear" trick.]

Step right up to my show

For some magic and gold

You can thank me later 'cause

I'm gonna be the Duke!

[He proceeds to start helping citizens, such as giving a girl a burrito instead of haggis, polishing a bald man's head where Barney checks his list and heads off, setting up a fun ramp instead of a broken bridge, and tossing out endless scarves in his magic show. Angus and Barney just watch all of this, concerned.]

It's my time, my turn to be

The new Duke in history

Gonna show my family

I'm ready to rule

I'm gonna be the Duke!

Lincoln: "So what do you think, Barney?"

Barney: "I..think we have our work cut out for us."[sees Angus] "Angus, can you help me explain?"

Angus: "Of course."

[The citizens walk away. Angus approaches Lincoln and starts singing before giving him paint and a roller to paint over his "DUKE" graffiti.]

Angus:

When you help out other people

Don't just do it to be in the spotlight

Or be the talk of the town

[Angus helps Lincoln put up an "EXIT" sign on the list of signs, helping with the rampant traffic Barney "checks" this off the list .]

Barney:

Remember, everything you do

It's about them and not you

That's how you live like a Loud

[As Angus, Barney and Lincoln visit a statue of Duke Lindon Loud, Lincoln is run over by a flock of sheep, and the three put the sheep back in pasture. Barney checks that off his list.]

Angus:

If you want to wear the crown

Go make this town a better place

Look into their hearts and make some real change

[The three are now at the broken bridge with Lincoln's "fun" ramp.]

'Cause magic tricks and short-term fixes are not the answer

Angus and Barney:

You've got to do some good deeds

[Lincoln, realizing what he must do, carries a wheelbarrow full of stones, and he, Barney, and Angus construct the other half of the bridge, with the help of a sheep. The citizens cheer.]

Lincoln:

I hear you loud and clear

I have to act more sincere

That's the secret for me to win

'Cause if I do this right

I'll be in the spotlight

You can thank me later 'cause

Citizens:

He's gonna be the Duke!

[The citizens of Loch Loud parade through the town with Lincoln and Barney as Morag spies in anger as another hair sticks out. They do a little dance break and form a human pyramid with their upcoming Duke at the top.]

All:

It's my time, my turn to be

The new Duke in history

Gonna show my family

I'm ready to rule

Barney and Citizens:

He's gonna be the Duke!

[The citizens all cheer for Lincoln.]

Barney: "Stu-u-U-PENDOUS!"[leaps for joy]

Lincoln: "So, did I make life better around here or what?" [The citizens cheer again] "Alright. Then how do we make this official?"

Male Villager: "We have a coronation!"

Citizens: [chanting] "Duke! Duke! Duke! Duke! Duke…!"

Morag: [enters] "Oh, how glorious. Loch Loud will have a new Duke for a week."

[The citizens "aww" in disappointment.]

Male Villager #2: [confused] "Duke for a week?"

Morag: "Actually, six days, eleven hours, twenty-three minutes and four seconds, but who's counting?"

Mrs. Turnberry: [disappointed] "I burst into dance for a tourist?"

Male Villager #3: [also disappointed] "Never mind."

[The citizens drop Lincoln, and Barney quickly catches him. They walk away, along with Morag.]

Barney: "WHOA! Oh, I gotcha, Lincoln!"

Lincoln: "Thanks, buddy."

Morag: "Such a shame." [smiles sinisterly and chuckles]

Angus: [running up to the boy] "Lincoln?"

[Barney puts him down when Angus gets there.]

Angus: "Take heart, lad. The hard part is over. Our people want you to be the Duke. Now all you need to do is convince your family to move here, eh? Easy peasy."

[Barney hears this and decides to talk it over with Lincoln to make sure he knows what he's doing.]

Barney: "Uh..Angus, can I have a word with His Highness, please?"

Angus: "Oh, sure."

[The two stepped a few feet away.]

Lincoln: "What is it, Barney?"

Barney: "Well as much I and these people want you to be the Duke perhaps you should think about this first. Cause you'll be giving up a lot for this new life of new responsibilities. There's school, some of our favorite places, your Dad's restaurant, and some of our friends. What would Clyde think?"

Lincoln: "Well there's plenty to see and learn in Scotland, right? Plus, I can call Clyde and tell him we're moving here. This is a big opportunity for me. To show everyone just how special I can be. [disappointedly] Don't you want that for me, Barney?"

Barney: [sighs]"Lincoln, as both your Royal Advisor and your friend, all I want..is for you to be happy. So if all this makes you happy—."[puts his hand on his shoulder]"then I'll be happy for you. It's your choice."

[Lincoln ponders a moment and grins a little embarrassed as Barney can see what his decision is.]

Lincoln: [chuckles nervously] Well..

Barney:[Chuckles] "Oh-hokay, Lincoln . As always I'm with you. I can always visit my friends. Let's just see what your family thinks."

Lincoln: "Thanks, Big guy. I knew I could count on you."

Angus: "So.."

[Lincoln thinks over what Angus and Barney said to him, realizing he actually might convince his family, and smiles at the groundskeeper.]

[Back in his ancestral room, Lincoln dons his grown-up suit.]

Lincoln: "How do I look?"

Barney: "You look very mature."

Baby Bop: [sitting by Lily,]"You look very handsome, Linky."

Angus: "Oh, brilliant, sir. But why a suit?"

Lincoln: "It's my blue convincing suit." [to the viewers] "Patent pending." [back to Angus] "I wear it whenever I need to talk my family into something. It's never let me down. Right, guys?"

[Lily is on the Duke's bed by Baby Bop, sucking her foot, and notices Lincoln looking at her.]

Baby Bop: "Right."

Lily: [points at her brother] "Man with Plan."

Barney: "The Man with the Plan, indeed."

[Later, the Louds and the Dinos have all assembled to watch a presentation. It starts off with a shot of Scotland, then the family painting of the Louds' ancestors.]

Lincoln: [narrating] "Whoosh! Scotland, where the Loud clan first rose to prominence." [shows a photo of the Louds and Barney arriving in Scotland in the submarine, followed by shots of them touring Loch Loud] "Our family came here on vacation to find our ancestors. We found so much more." [shows a shot of Loch Loud] "We found our town," [shows a shot of Loud Castle] "our castle," [shows a shot of Angus in front of the town] "our history, and most importantly..." [shows a shot of Lynn Sr. doing a Scottish dance while Lynn Jr. and Barney give him a score of 10 and the rest of their family watches in embarrassment] "...we found ourselves."

Lynn Sr.: [tears up] "So true..."

[The picture of the dancing Lynn Sr. burns up.]

Lincoln: [narrating] "But soon, our vacation will end."

Lynn Sr.: "AHH! NO!"

[The presentation cuts back to the ancestral painting.]

Lincoln: [narrating] "Unless we seize the chance of a lifetime..." [photoshops the current Louds' faces over their ancestral counterparts'] "...and fulfill our destiny! How, you may ask?" [appears on screen] "By moving to Scotland, where the Louds can truly live loud."

[An explosion appears, with Lincoln making sound effects, fading to a shot of Lily wearing a kilt.]

Lily: "Loud and proud!"

[A pair of sunglasses overlay over her via editing with a "thud". The presentation ends; Lincoln walks over.]

Lincoln: [tears up] "That last part always gets me... So?"

Lynn Sr.: [Scottish accent] "I'm in! Scotland forever!"

[He realizes his wife and daughters are not interested and sits down.]

Lana: "This is all 'cause you wanna be 'the Duke'."

Baby Bop: "Uh oh."

Lincoln: "What? No! It has nothing to do with-"

[His sisters start throwing pillows at him.]

Luna: "Busted, dude."

Luan: "Fat chance, Lincoln."

Lincoln: "Yeah, okay, so maybe that has a little to do with it, but moving here would be wonderful for all of us!"

Rita: "Sweetie, we're on vacation. We have a life in Royal Woods."

Lisa: "Not to mention schools."

Luan: "Friends..."

Lola: "Adoring fans!"

Rita: "We're not moving to Scotland."

Lola: "Yeah."

[Lana is heard laughing. Barney looks the other way depressed that they had pretty much the same response he had.]

Lincoln: [sighs and feigns disappointment] "Mom's right, forget it. We should just enjoy our vacation and go back home, to our house with one bathroom."

[Lincoln smirks to himself as the other Louds shudder at the idea of going back to having only one bathroom.]

Rita: "We're moving to Scotland."

[The rest of her kids and the Dinos cheer.]

[At Lincoln's coronation for Duke, four trumpeters herald the coronation. Lincoln is standing on a royal throne, spreading a cape reading "DUKE" in the back as a man rolls a red carpet and a girl spreads petals everywhere, and Barney stands beside him. The citizens, the Louds, along with Baby Bop, BJ, and Riff, all cheer for the new Duke, with Leni holding a "WE THE DUKE" sign.]

Lori: "Go, Lincoln!"

Lynn: "That's my brother!"

BJ: "You go, Lincster!"

Baby Bop: "YAY. DUKE LINCOLN! WHOO!" [giggles]

Riff: "Way to go, Linc!"

Lola: "Royalty runs in the family."

Lincoln: "A-thank you." [hops off the throne and starts blowing kisses]

[Angus opens the door carrying the royal scepter, with Morag carrying the crown, rolling her eyes. They step over near Lincoln.]

Morag: "Ahem." [the crowd silences] "For four centuries, our loch has been without a Duke ever since the first Louds broke our hearts and decided to sail away forever."

Barney: [whispers to Angus]"I waited five years for them to come back."

Angus: "You don't say."

[The crowd 'aw's in disappointment. Meanwhile, Lucille is watching from a nearby window.]

Lucille: "I cannot believe my ears."

[As Lucille floats away, Morag continues her speech.]

Morag: "From today on, our village will be duke-less no more." [the crowd cheers] "Lincoln Albert Loud, by the powers vested in me..."

[Angus dukes Lincoln with the scepter and winks.]

Lincoln: "Oooh. Cool duke stick."

Angus: "It's the royal scepter, sire."

Morag: "Ahem." [gets Lincoln's attention. He kneels as she prepares the place the crown on him] "By the powers vested in me, I dub thee... thee, uh…" [struggles to put the crown on him. The trumpeters look at each other confused] "I... dub.. thee..." [groans while Angus and Barney look confused as well] "Duke.. of..." [strains herself even more; Angus finally assists her and puts the crown on him; forcing herself to say it] "The Duke of Loch Loud."

Lincoln: "Yes!"

[The newly crowned Duke Lincoln jumps forwards, leading to a recreation of the original show's intro. A parade is held in his honor, with Lincoln and Barney riding in a chariot commanded by Angus, before leaping off on a skateboard and skating through the castle halls to reach his bathroom. When he gets there, hearts appear above him.]

Shouting through the empty halls

Just to hear an echo call

Trying to find the bathroom on time

(Oy! Oy! Oy!)

[The rest of the Louds enjoy themselves in the halls, Lola and Baby Bop playing hopscotch, Lynn biking as BJ rides his scooter, Luan playing with Mr. Coconuts, who now has a Scottish makeover, Lori on her phone, Lisa playing with a tentacled creature, Luna and Riff carrying amps, Lucy and Lucille gliding through the air, Lana feeding an even bigger Lela, and Leni walking into the walls. Lincoln arrives, and all the sisters , along with his Dino friends, hoist him up in the air.]

Hopscotch on the royal tiles

Corridors that run for miles

It's the perfect home for the rest of our lives!

[Lincoln slides down the banisters, like in the theme song, runs through the halls with his sisters, Barney, and Lela, and enjoys himself in town while signing autographs.]

Loud Castle! Loud Castle!

Yell, stretch, spreading out

Even got our own town

[The Louds and Barney run through another corridor, Lincoln sliding on the floor, before relaxing in a lake.]

Loud Castle! Loud Castle!

All the room we'll ever need

It feels good to finally breathe!

[Lincoln does a Scottish dance and is joined by Lily, then the twins and Lucy, and the rest of the sisters.]

Loud! Castle! Loud! Loud Castle!

[Lincoln enjoys himself in the castle towers with a flag reading "Lincoln #1". He walks through the foyer with Barney and all his sisters bowing before him. Lana gives him his scepter, Lucy hands a flower, and Leni and Lori give him a robe before a spotlight shines on him.]

It's all about me now

Spotlight on Lincoln Loud

Stepping out of the crowd to really shine

[Lincoln unveils to his sisters his own massive Duke portrait, then partakes in sending off the maiden voyage of a ship, the opening of a comic book shop, and a crowd surf.]

Dub me the one and only

The spotlight is on me

And this time it's all mine!

[The Louds lie down in a circle with Lincoln in the middle. Lincoln is shown relaxing in his throne, a duke car, him reading a newspaper, and a bathtub, before showing the rest of the Louds relaxing in their own bathtubs.]

Loud Castle! Loud Castle!

So much empty space

With no one in your face!

[The Louds all wave to each other from their own rooms, with Lincoln looking satisfied, then watch Lela, Lucy, and Lucille, and Barney(as an eagle) fly around, and they all play around in the foyer.]

Loud Castle! Loud Castle!

Eleven kids, a zillion rooms

I guess it'll have to do!

Loud Castle! Loud Castle!

Home was sweet but so compact

Why would we return to that?!

[Lincoln poses in publicity Duke photos, and then the Louds and Dinos wave to the citizens from the castle with Lincoln shedding a tear of joy, before a mock "LOUD CASTLE" logo appears with the Scottish flag as a background.]

Loud! Castle! Loud! Loud Castle!

Lily and Baby Bop: [pop in; to the viewers] "Loud Castle!" [giggle and disappear]

[Lincoln is now taking a bath, with Angus and Morag being of assistance. Angus is humming the show's theme song.]

Lincoln: "Ah, isn't this awesome? Us Louds, Barney and the Dinos, you two, hanging at the castle... Just like old times."

[Morag sheepishly whimpers, who is holding a tray of shampoo and seething with barely contained rage. She sets it down and leaves the bathroom, walking down the stairs, exits the castle, exiting the town. She heads to a dock and rows a boat to another land, past a rock that is home to sea lions. She keeps walking past a field of sheep towards a storm and wades into a puddle of mud, not noticing or caring that she is dirty nor that there is a frog on her. Finally, she reaches a distant cliff surrounded by pouring rain and vents out all of her rage, causing a flock of birds to fly out of a nearby tree.]

Morag: [livid and screaming] "I... HATE... THE... LOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDSSSSS!"

[Morag pants from such seething fury; her hair becoming completely wild and on end. Lightning strikes behind her. She approaches the tree and starts digging.

Another strike of lightning hits as it cuts back to the Loud Castle. Lucy and Lucille are in Lucy's room.]

Lucy: "What a wretched day."

Lucille: "I wish we were out in it." [She and Lucy laugh as she floats around] "But seriously, cousin, we have an urgent matter to discuss."

Lucy: "Our bond of eternal sadness?"

Lucille: "Nay. What I must say, others may not want to hear." [shuts the door] "Lucy, what Morag said at the coronation is not true. My family did return to Loch Loud. On that fateful day, our hearts were as full as our sails."

[Fade transition flashback to 400 years ago. A ship is crossing through the sea with the ancestral Louds on it.]

Lucille: [narrating] "We longed to be home again."

Leith(1600s Lisa): "I've missed me laboratory."

Lucille: "And my coffin."

Lexi(1600s Leni): "And me Scott. He's from Scotland."

1600s Louds: [deadpan] "We know."

[Rhona pulls out a nautical telescope and sees their beloved hometown.]

Rhona(1600s Rita): "Home is on the horizon. Land ho!"

[The 1600s Louds cheer as a dragon flies toward the ship.]

Duke Lindon: "Look, family. It's our Lolo. She's come to escort us home. I can't wait to see me good friend Bernard again.."

[They cheer once again.]

Lyndsey(1600s Lynn): "That's our girl!"

[All of a sudden, Lolo's yellow eyes turn purple, her expression changing from happiness to anger. She dives toward the ship and uses her wings to create a gust of wind, moving the ship back. The family screams.]

Rhona: "What's come over her? She's turning us away."

Duke Lindon: "How are we to get home?"

Lucille: "We're not."

[Lucille is next to the Duke.]

Duke Lindon: [startled] "Ahh!"

Lucille: "The dragon forbids it."

Duke Lindon: "But why?"

Lucille: "According to ancient lore, the dragon is the protector of the loch, and a Duke's truest friend, until it deems the Duke worthy no more.

Lyndsay(1600s Lynn Sr.): [frustrated] "Dah! Ding-dang ancient lore!"

The Duke: "I've done nothing to earn such a fate." [walks up at the front of the ship] "Lolo, I command thee to let us pass!"

[Lolo responds by shooting a fireball toward the Duke's direction, who dodges it with a scream.]

Lucille: "'Tis no use, dear brother. Our fate has been decided."

[She, along with the other Louds, are disheartened.]

The Duke: "I shan't argue with that. Mother, turn the ship around. And to all, bid your farewell to Loch Loud." [Lolo shoots another fireball at the ship] "Ahh! What now?"

Lucille: "Uh, you must give the crown back."

The Duke: [turns to Lolo, despondent] "Of course."

[He walks back up and hands over the crown to the dragon. Lolo takes it and flies off, and the 1600's Louds' ship turns around, away from their home. Lucille looks back, and the flashback ends.]

Lucy: "That's so sad. Normally, I like sad, but that's too much. Why would Morag lie about your family never returning?"

Lucille: [gasps] "Our caretaker Old Aggie! She kept a journal that chronicled everything that happened in the castle. Perhaps the answer lies within its pages. I wonder where it may be?"

[Lucy and Lucille scratch their chins in wonder.]

[Back at the cliff, Morag is holding up the journal Lucille described.]

Morag: [laughs maniacally] "My deviously brilliant, wicked, dear Old Aggie." [kisses the book, getting mud in her teeth. She spits it out.] "You were the first to rid this loch of hideous Loud sand those..(mockingly)'dino-saurs '."

[She flips the pages, one set showing a dragon with normal eyes while the royal scepter is empty, another set of the dragon with purple eyes with a stone in the scepter, before revealing the stone embedded in the next set of pages. She cackles with the stone in her hand. Fade into Lucille's flashback just after Lolo drove the 1600's Louds away, with the stone in the royal scepter. Aggie, who is holding the scepter, is laughing evilly as Lolo returns with the Duke's crown, the 1600's Louds' ship retreating. Lolo drops the crown at Aggie's feet.]

Aggie: "Well done, you monstrous, pea-brained cretin."

[She removes the stone from the scepter, causing Lolo's eyes to revert to their old yellow, snapping out the hypnosis. Lolo looks around, then looks down and sees the Duke's crown, then Aggie, who is once again laughing evilly, and flinches in shame. Back to the present, and Morag, standing on the very same cliff Aggie stood all those centuries ago, is still laughing evilly.]

Morag: [holding the stone] "You got rid of your Duke, and I shall get rid of mine!" [cackles]

[Meanwhile in Lincoln's room near dawn, Barney comes to life and sees his Royal friend asleep, so he decides to give him his friendly wake-up call.]

Barney: [magically jumping into his life sized form] "Whoa." [sees Lincoln asleep and smiles] "Oh.."

[He steps around the bed and carefully lifts the cover exposing Lincoln's bare feet, conjures a magical glove and removes the green feather from his cap.]

Barney: [whispers] "Are you ready?" [the glove gives a thumbs up] "Ok. One..two..three."

[Barney begins his barrage of playful tickles by feathering Lincoln's right foot while controlling the glove to tickle his left foot.]

Barney: "Coochie Coochie coo, Coochie Coochie coo! Ho-ho-ho!

[Lincoln's eyes pop open seeing Barney getting his own playful payback, and he smiles and starts laughing himself silly. Lincoln laughs hysterically, now lying on his back pounding the bed with one fist.]

Lincoln: "HAHAHA Hahahahaha! O-hokay, oka-hay! You win!. Hahahahahaha!

[Barney then sends that magical glove away and puts the feather back on his cap as Lincoln continues laughing as Barney stops and smiles. Lincoln then calms down and chuckles.]

Barney: "Good morning, your Majesty."[takes a bow]

Lincoln: [chuckles]"Morning, Barney!"

[Barney hugs his new Duke, and A knock on the door is heard.]

Barney: "I'll get that."

[Barney goes to open the door. He does, and Lela comes into the room and rubs her head against him.] "Whoa-ho! Good morning, Lela. Look who's here, Lincoln."

Lincoln: [sitting on the side of his bed] "Hey, Lela!" [Lela licks Lincoln's face, and he chuckles.] "He-hey! [she then lowers her head up to him and he rubs it] "Morning, girl."

[Lela lifts her head. smiling at Lincoln and then running back out.]

Barney: "Oh it's so wonderful to see you smiling again, Lincoln. 'Cause when you're happy I'm happy too." [conjures a hand mirror and shows it to Lincoln] "See how happy you look?"

[Lincoln:smiles into it and points at the reflection.]

Lincoln: "Hello, handsome." [clicks his tongue]

Barney: [chuckles] "Good one."

Lincoln: "So did you ever.."

Barney: [finishing his sentence]-"Tickle the Duke?"

Lincoln: "Yeah!"

Barney: "I think so. Whenever I wanted to wake him up or cheer him up, that is. We did a lot of things together like talk, tell each other stories, go horse-riding, or have fun with his sisters—just like you do."

Lincoln: "Sounds like you really were great friends."

Barney: "From the day my boat floated ashore. And as special as their friendship was to me, my friendship with all of you is special everyday."

[Playful music starts and Barney sings.]

Friends are special, so important,

They make the world go 'round.

We like helping one another

in school or on the playground

[Lincoln hops off the bed and joins in, dancing along with him.]

Lincoln:

Friends are there to help each other

when one is feeling sad.

Both:

Being friends is very special.

Be a friend, and you'll be glad.

[Lincoln zooms to the side off-screen, changes into his Duke outfit, and comes back. Barney then hands him his crown, they bow to each other, and they as they side step in their duet.]

Friends are special, so important,

They make the world go 'round.

We like helping one another

in school or on the playground

[They both hold their hands out, and shake them. They wag arms side to sideThey wag arms side to side, hug, and dance from side to side.]

Friends are there to help each other

when one is feeling sad.

Being friends is very special.

Barney:

Be a friend, and you'll be glad.

Both:

Being friends is very special.

Be a friend, and you'll be glad.

[The two spin in circles toward each other and cross their arms as they stand beside each other with one leg out. The song ends.]

Barney: "Great job."

Lincoln: "You too, big guy."

Barney: "And speaking of friends you might want to–"

Lincoln: "What? Oh. [Sadly] Right. I almost forgot."

[Lincoln has his phone out nervously with Barney next to him for support.]

Lincoln: "You think he'll be on board with this, Barney?"

Barney: "Well you two are 'Clincoln McCloud for life.' So even though you'll both be countries apart he'll always be your friend."

[Lincoln takes a deep breath, and calls up Clyde. Back at the McBride residence in Royal Woods, Clyde is sitting at a table in his kitchen by his phone. Once he sees Lincoln is calling, he picks up immediately.]

Clyde: "Hi, Lincoln! How is the best bud that a best bud…" [cuts to Lincoln] "…could ever have enjoying his vacation?"

Lincoln: "You won't believe it, Clyde. Turns out my family is royalty, and I'm the new Duke of Loch Loud!"

[Morag, who is wet from the rain, listens in from behind the door, growling.]

Clyde: "Holy dream puff! That's awesome! I guess now that you're a Duke, you don't have to worry anymore about whether you're special."

Lincoln: "Yup! No more being stuck in my sisters' shadows."

[Morag's eyes widen.]

Clyde: "Yes!"

[She wickedly smiles and chuckles evilly as she continues to eavesdrop.]

Lincoln: "All hail the Duke!"

Clyde: "Wait a minute. How are you gonna be the Duke of Loch Loud when you're back in Royal Woods? Do they have, like, an exchange program?"

[Barney gestures to him to get to the point.]

Lincoln: [gulps; nervous] "Um, not exactly." [nervously chuckles] "Which is why… " [braces himself] "We moved to Scotland." [He looks to see that Clyde is silent] "Clyde?"

[Clyde suddenly grins.]

Clyde: "Lincoln! This is the coolest news!"

Lincoln: "It is?" [sighs in relief] "That's such a relief. I can't wait for you to come visit."

Clyde: "Me too! I'd love to visit Scotland. Hey, I gotta go." [cuts to his angle] "But call me later 'cause I wanna hear all about your new super duper amazing life!"

[Clyde hangs up, and the camera zooms out to show an orange cake that says "Welcome Home, Lincoln". He tears up, letting his real emotions show, and sobs into the cake.]

Clyde: [smacks] "Needs more cinnamon..." [continues crying]

[Cut back to the Duke's room...]

Lincoln: "Ah, what a friend."

Barney: "Indeed." [giggles]

Morag: [grins evilly] "The sisters. Yes, that's it."

[She walks away, laughing sinisterly and starts to sing.]

The time has come to play pretend

And I'll trick Lincoln into thinking I'm his friend

[She slides down the banister as a shining spotlight casts on her, and dramatically walks down the stairs in four different colored spotlights.]

And I'll humiliate the boy, you see

And drive the Louds away from me for good

No, no, no, no, no!

[She has a fantasy sequence in which she is on a beach with a sand castle. Ships full of Louds approach, and the hordes of Louds swarm Morag as she stands on the castle before putting on the crown to repel them.]

I must do more

So other Louds never set foot upon this shore

To stop them coming after me

I'll need the crown's authority for all to see

The duchess I must be!

[A flashback shows Aggie detailing the powers of the Dragon Stone in her journal. In the present, Morag reads over the page, and turns to another one containing the 1600's Louds, who panic, and rips it to reveal the stone.]

It's what you started

I vow to finish

The reign of Louds over this castle will diminish

[Cut back to the flashback, Aggie sings as the shot orbits around her with the journal cutting back to the present with Morag.]

'Cause if I want tranquility

The duchess I must be!

[Morag laughs evilly, and in her casual wear, she spins around with a feather duster in hand. She breaks the duster in two. Cut to the town of Loch Loud, where the citizens are hoisting their precious Duke up in the air. Morag appears as a giant, takes Lincoln from their grasp, and tosses him away. The citizens gasp at this, and are now sad.]

This foolish town adores that boy

But I'll break their little hearts, oh, what a joy!

[The scepter comes into frame and it zooms into its majestic inside. Lincoln is shown to be in a free fall. A spotlight casts on Morag afterward.]

And with the dragon on my side

I'll take the Duke up for a royal ride

What an embarrassing turn of events

[Morag puts on the crown, and with the scepter in her hand, she looms over Barney and the Louds, terrifying them to run away. The scene then transitions to her skipping playfully onto the crown in a shiny, golden background with treasures raining down.]

It's what you started

I vow to finish!

The reign of Louds over this castle will diminish

'Cause if I want tranquility

The duchess I must be

[Morag is then seen in a dark background, surrounded by the disheartened Louds and their dinosaur friends.]

Is it wrong to long for quiet?

Should I just let this family be?

No!

[Morag flies towards the camera. The scene cuts to the Louds at sea before Morag surfaces like a shark and rises upwards, surrounded by the hypnotized Lolo, who breathes fire.]

The Louds will sail across the sea

And then this town belongs to me

The duchess I will be!

[The scene fades back to reality, with Morag reading Aggie's journal and laughing.]
