I'm gonna try some reverse psychology. Don't you DARE leave a comment on this.

July 12th, 2021

No guest host this time. It's me, Sid, again.

Remember my friend Two, assuming you've seen at least one of the previous times I've mentioned him? Well, he just told me that one of his sisters ordered something online but it arrived broken. Two asked me to come by his house and try to fix it because, and I quote, I'm the second smartest person he knows and the smartest one is busy today. He could've just asked me to fix it without explaining what the reason he chose me was because it kind of went without saying, but I'm really glad he went into detail. Telling a person what you think of them goes a long way into making them feel good. I sometimes feel like I'm wasting the potential of my talents, but knowing for sure that at least one person other than me if benefiting from them is honestly enough to satisfy me.

The sister in question is, of course, Luan Special. Two has even more siblings than a certain other boy I know you may have heard of, so you'd think Luan wouldn't be the only one to pop up. Yet, she is way more enthusiastic about everything than everyone else in Two's family combined so she's constantly begging for attention. It's so weird.

Two said he couldn't tell what the broken thing she ordered was. He described it as 'a vending machine with SpongeBob on it or something.' However, I just got to the bedroom Luan shares with her twin sister and that's not what it is at all. It's an arcade game called Pac-Land. He either didn't get a good look at it or just didn't understand what it is. Either way, I should show it to my friend Robin after I fix it up. She'll think it's awesome. I've never fixed a broken arcade game before, but it probably won't be too hard to figure it out. If Spencer can do it, I can't imagine I won't be able to.

Luan's on her bed right now, face buried in a pillow and it sounds like she's crying. She must be sad her game doesn't work. It probably cost a fortune and the wait for it must have gotten her super duper excited, so I don't blame her. I better let her know I'm here and why. She couldn't possibly start to cheer up if she continues to think it's just gonna remain broken. "No need to cry, little one. Sid is here to save the day! You'll be playing Pac-Land before you know it," I say to her while starting to work on the machine.

I'm already done. I'm hearing the game make noise and everything. Either the damage to the machine was minimal or I'm just that good. I'm choosing to believe it's the latter. That doesn't make me a narcissistic asshole, right? You know what? No. It doesn't. An asshole wouldn't do a nice thing for a person she barely knows like I just did. And Luan doesn't exactly seem like a person who deserves to be treated that way from what I've seen of her, so that means I'm extra nice. However, like I said, I don't know her very well, so I could be way off and being too judgmental.

She must've heard that I fixed the game because she's getting out of bed and wiping away her tears. She's walking past the machine, which I wasn't expecting. I thought for sure she'd go straight to playing it. I guess she wants to thank me face-to-face first.

Or not. She just unplugged the machine for some reason. Why on Earth would she do that?

Now she's standing in front of the game's blank screen while I hear some music starting. I recognize the song as Undo It by Carrie Underwood. That's a song, putting it lightly, about hating a person. That's gotta be the last thing she should want to sing right now, but changing song lyrics to something entirely different is something she's all about, so I'll bet she's gonna turn Undo It into a song about being thankful. Yeah, that's probably it. It would explain why she unplugged it. She didn't want the music from the game to play at the same time as the song.

I should've known by the way you passed me by
There was something in your eyes, and it wasn't right
I should've walked, but I never had the chance
Everything got out of hand, and I let it slide

Now I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way
It was before I saw your face

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it
You had my heart, now, I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy, you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it

Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Now your photos don't have a picture frame
And I never say your name, and I never will
And all your things, well, I threw 'em in the trash
And I'm really freaking sad!

Now you only have yourself to blame
For playing all those stupid games
You're always gonna be the same
Oh no, you'll never change

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it
You had my heart, now, I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy, you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it

Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na na

You want my future, you can't have it
I'm still trying to erase you from my past
I need you gone so fast

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it
You had my heart, now, I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy, you blew it, you put me through it

I
HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!
Why do I love you?!

I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!
Why do I

wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it?

Or, apparently, she'll barely change it at all. She only edited one line, and not even in the way I thought she would, and mashed it up with I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace a little. "What was all that about?" I ask her because I don't understand what's going on even a tiny bit. "Why would you sing a song about hate to this game you bought?" I add.

"I can see why you would think that because of the 'stupid games' parts, but I wasn't singing it to the machine. I was singing it to my reflection," she clears up. I still don't get it though.

"So you're upset that you're ugly?" I ask.

"I wish!" shouts Luan. "I don't hate the way I look. I hate myself," she corrects. With every new piece of info she explains, I only get more confused. How can a person hate themself? That makes no sense.

Let's find out. "But why?" I ask.

"I ordered this arcade game online without reading the description. After it arrived today, I looked again and it said it's supposed to be for people who collect games without playing them and are willing to buy a broken one so it'll be cheaper. That made me realize that I have no self-control when it comes to spending money, which led to me thinking about all of the other things wrong with me," Luan explains. "I wish I had Luan Loud's personality instead of Anthony Staffenhagen's," she continues. I may not have been able to cheer her up by fixing the game, but I now know a way that I can.

I recently caught a new Pokémon, an Espurr, who I needed to give an attitude adjustment to because she was evil. I invented a new device that I call the Personali-Changer so I could turn her good. It's too small for Luan's head, but I'm gonna go build another one that'll fit. That way, she can get her personality changed to the same one Luan Loud has like she just told me she wants.

I went back home and got right to work on building a second Personali-Changer. I designed it to look like a baseball helmet so that it can be easy to describe what it looks like and because I like playing baseball. The first one was orange, Espurr's favorite color, but this one's yellow. Take a guess why.

In order to make the wearer's personality match someone else's, we need a piece of that person's DNA, so I asked Luan Loud to give me some of her hair to put into the slot on the side of the helmet. She happily agreed. She's always had a lot of sympathy for Luan Special for some reason. But that's what I was talking about earlier. Luan Loud frequently does really nice stuff for Luan Special, but then Luan Special treats her like garbage. But thanks to my invention, that won't happen anymore.

I've now made it back to Luan's room at Two's house and put the helmet on her. "What is this?" the soon-to-be happy girl asks me.

"My latest invention," I tell her.

"That does what?" she adds.

"Let's let it be a surprise," I suggest. "Just push that button on the side and something awesome will happen," I instruct.

She holds a finger in front of the button for a few seconds without pushing it until she says "I'm sorry, but I'm too scared. Will you please tell me what it's gonna do to me?"

I really wanted to know how she'd react to her new personality when she didn't see it coming, but alright. "It's gonna give you Luan Loud's personality," I say to her.

She then takes the helmet off as quick as lightning and chucks it across the room while shouting the word 'nope' over and over. What is with this kid? I thought this was what she wanted. "Notice I worded my wish in past tense earlier," she says. "What I was trying to say was, yeah, it probably would've been better if I had always been just like the other Luan, but it's too late to change it now," she goes on.

"Okay, so then what am I supposed to do with this?" I ask while picking up the Personali-Changer and checking to see if it got damaged when she threw it. No need to worry. It's just fine.

Luan gives me no answer and just gets back in bed. Since she's gonna be so rude instead of helping me after I've done nothing today but try to help her, I'm gonna go ask Two what he thinks I could use it for.

It took me a while to find him because his house is gigantic. I think it might be even bigger than the entire apartment building in Great Lakes City I used to live in. You know, the one where The Purple Heart Pain lives. So, Hell, basically. Whenever I watch The Casagrandes and see the original me still living at a building that looks just like it, I feel like I'm watching Santa live at the South Pole.

I did find Two though and told him all about what happened. I've also asked him the question I had, of course. Let's see what he thinks. "You should definitely use it on The Purple Heart Pain and make her like you," he says.

Wow. I should've saw that coming 100 zillion miles away and yet it never even crossed my mind. Should I take his suggestion? I'm torn. It would solve a lot of problems in my life, but I just hate that stupid heartless bitch so much! She broke my heart so much that it looked like a Lego set. She doesn't deserve me after that. Whenever I think about her, all I can think is that even if I wasn't happy living life without her, she's not who I would want. I would want someone who's like Ronnie Anne. She should skateboard instead of hoverboard, only have one pony tail, still wear a hoodie, not care about making movies, and most importantly, BE A NICE PERSON!

I'm kinda mad at Two now. He's lucky his head is bigger than his sister's or I'd totally use this Personali-Changer on him. By the time I finished making another one, I'd be over it and remember that it would be wrong.

I still don't want this new Personali-Changer to go to waste though, so maybe I'll show it off at the nest Sid Invention Duel. I know I could just use the orange one for that, but the yellow one's bigger size allows for me to have an easier time finding someone it'll fit. The last Sid Invention Duel, the one I asked Ronnie Anne and the original me to participate in for me, already came and went. I won, by the way. However, there's another one coming up soon and I already decided that I'll actually enter this time.
