It all begins when J.D. and Varie walk to the Loud House for a sleepover. They have their sleepover supplies and some fun activities planned.
J.D. approached the door and knocked, and Rita opened it from the other side and greeted them, "Oh, J.D. and Varie! You've made it! Quick! Come on in!"
She quickly pulls them both inside. "Uh, okay? Thanks, Ms. Rita," said J.D., confused why she was acting strangely.
They went upstairs only to find the sisters, who all appeared to be preparing for battle. "Hey, girls. What's up? "J.D. greeted them.
"J.D., Varie! What are you doing here?! Go now before it's too late!" Lynn was concerned that they would be hurt.
"Have you forgotten? We're sleeping over for the weekend. Hey, where is Luan?" J.D. asked.
"Oh no! Is she on her way?!" Lola asked, her voice trembling.
"I don't know, so that's why we're asking you," Varie replied, perplexed as to why she was scared.
The sisters all go back to preparing as if they were going to war. They shrugged it off and proceeded to Lincoln's Room, only to discover that the door was locked, and J.D. knocked on it.
"It's me and Varie, Lincoln," J.D. said, wondering why the door was locked.
"Oh, hey J.D., Varie, come on in," Lincoln says, relieved that it was them as he opens the door.
They both walked in, and Lincoln quickly shut and locked the door.
"What's going on, Lincoln? Everyone appeared terrified and filled with paranoia," Varie asked, hoping he would tell them why everyone was so scared.
"Yeah, and they all look like they're about to go to war," J.D. agreed, perplexed about what was going on.
"I forgot to tell you," Lincoln sighed, figuring he might as well tell them.
"Tell us what?" J.D. asked, concerned.
Lincoln marks April 1st on his calendar and tells them, "Tomorrow is April Fools' Day."
"Yeah. So?" J.D. replied, wondering what the big deal was.
"Every year, my sister Luan creates a prank apocalypse, and no one is spared!" exclaimed Lincoln.
"You mean, like whoopie cushions, squirting flowers, and stuff like that?" Varie asked, as that didn't sound too bad.
"It's much, much worse than that. I present to you Luan Loud's April Fools' Highlight Reel, "said Lincoln. He starts playing a video of Luan's April Fools' Day pranks on the Loud Family. First, the siblings stare at their furniture, which is nailed to the ceiling upside down.
"I'd say this prank is a little above your head!" Luan laughed.
They now opened the door to discover the room full of chickens. "It appears to be your clucky day!" Luan burst out laughing.
Now that the kids are looking at their house all wrapped up in wrapping paper, Luan rips through a window and laughs, "I guess that's a wrap!"
The siblings are now trapped in massive gelatin. "Aww, look at the Loud Family getting jiggly with it!" Luan laughed.
The pets' fur and Walt's feathers were shaved, and Luan, holding a buzz shaver, laughed, "I shaved the best for last!"
The video ended, and J.D. and Varie were horrified by what they saw because the pranks they witnessed were not ordinary.
"Luan did all of that?" J.D exclaimed, stunned by what he had just witnessed.
"See what I mean? Nobody's safe from that evil pranking genius. But this year's going to be different. Luan is not going to prank me! Because I've got an April Fool-proof plan," Lincoln joked while being serious at the same time.
"Good one, Lincoln," J.D. said, laughing at Lincoln's pun.
"I appreciate it," Lincoln said. "You're not the only one who can make a pun, Luan!" he said, looking towards his door. He opens his door to find Lily wearing a watermelon helmet and diaper, Lynn padding herself, and Lola wrapping herself and Lana in bubble wrap.
"Bubble-wrap me next!" Lana exclaimed to Lola.
"I need more armor," Lucy says as she enters with her head inside a gargoyle's head.
Laney searches in her backpack, "Okay, helmets: Check. Cleaning supplies: Check. Protective padding: check."
"Where's my helmet!" Lynn exclaimed as Lisa walked in wearing army gear.
Lori is talking on her smartphone, "Bobby, we have to cancel all our plans in April." Bobby asks why. "Because Luan might shave my eyebrows off again! And it takes a month for them to grow back."
"C'mon, Lisa! Let me hunker in your bunker!" yelled Luna, following Lisa to her room.
"You should have been better prepared. We'd known about this storm for 364 days," Lisa responded.
Luna falls to her knees and begs her to let her in, "PLEASE! GIVE ME SHELTER!"
J.D., Varie, and Lincoln walk by the two, whistling and ignoring them when Lola dashes out in front of them.
"Raise your arms, you three! It's your turn for bubble wrap," Lola told them while holding some bubble wrap.
Lincoln puts his hand in front of Lola to stop her and says, "Not this year, Lola. I'm not getting pranked."
When his sisters heard what he said, they all rushed into his room and chatted simultaneously.
"It's never been done!" exclaimed Lola.
"Are you crazy?" Lynn asked.
"Don't be a fool! Nobody is safe from Luan's pranks!" Laney responded.
"Ladies! Ladies! I got a plan! Me, J.D., and Varie are simply going to lock ourselves in my room till the day's over. I've got snacks, video games, and a hose to pee in, which I call the Tinkle Tube. Patent pending," said Lincoln, holding up a jar.
"Ew!" screamed Lori, Leni, Luna, Laney, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, and Lily. At the prospect of peeing in a jar.
Lana shouted, "Cool!"
Lincoln gestured to his window. "It goes out the window!" he explained.
"But what if we have to go #2?" J.D. wondered how that would work.
"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. The point is, we'll never have to leave my room, so Luan will never get us," explained Lincoln proudly.
"But what if she plays a prank on you guys from your room?" Laney wondered.
"How can she do that?" asked Varie.
"Never question Luan's dark arts of practical jokes," Laney said solemnly.
The sound of a sausage slamming against the stair rails frightens the kids.
Laney said creepily, "She's here..."
Luan comes up the stairs, holding a sausage, and the siblings look terrified.
"Ooh! It's Pranksmas Eve...and I'm just bubbling with excitement," Luan laughed. She walks away, popping a piece of Lola's bubble wrap.
"Whoa! Who knew Luan could be so frightening?!" Varie said, shocked.
"I'm not afraid of her," J.D. scoffed, folding his arms.
"I'm going to need more bubble wrap! And a fresh pair of undies," said Lola.
"Lana, thanks for the lumber! I'll return it on April 2nd," Lincoln said as he walked out of Lana's room, lumber in his arms.
"Mahogany was a wise choice. That'll do nicely, "Lana smiled appreciatively.
J.D. and Varie follow Lincoln into his room. Lincoln closes his door, pounds the nails and mahogany on it with a nail gun, and then places a chair by the doorknob.
Lincoln takes out his radio and says, "Clyde, wanna hang out tomorrow? I built us a fortress with snacks, games, and a Tinkle Tube. Patent pending."
"On Pranksgiving? No way! Not after what happened last year," Clyde denied, after remembering last year.
Flashback to the previous April Fool's Day, when Clyde steps on a rope as one of Luan's prank traps. Water splatters on his face, and he is drenched in hay. Luan can be heard laughing. Then, as he screams, a swarm of crows attacks him. The flashback ends with Clyde looking scared.
"But nothing's going to happen this year. I've got an April Foolproof plan," said Lincoln, but he got a text. "Hang on, Clyde, Ronnie Anne just texted me." He checked his phone, read the text, and gasped, "She said she's coming over tomorrow with a present for me."
"That's not good," Varie said, worried.
"She can't come over tomorrow! She'll get nailed by Luan's pranks and then pulverize me!" Lincoln yelled, concerned for Ronnie Anne.
"Just tell her to come over another day," Clyde suggested.
"I can't do that! That will definitely get me pulverized!" Lincoln said, shaking his head frantically.
"You gotta get Luan to call off Prankapalooza. Appeal to her humanity. Beg if you have to!" Clyde suggested once more.
"Good idea! Just as soon as I get the mahogany off the door!" Lincoln smiled at Clyde's suggestion, hopeful that it might work.
J.D., Varie, and Lincoln remove the wood from Lincoln's door and enter Luna and Luan's room. When they arrive, Luan turns around in a Jester chair to face Lincoln while Cliff sits on her lap.
"Wow, Luan. You look great in that chair. It makes you look like Dr. No from James Bond, "J.D. was impressed.
"Thank you, J.D.," Luan said as she stroked Cliff's head.
Lincoln: "That is pretty cool, but Luan! You've got to call off Prankageddon! Please! Ronnie Anne is coming over tomorrow, and I can't let her get pranked!" Lincoln begged her.
"Yeah. She'll be nailed by your pranks, and then she'll pulverize him!" J.D. agreed, hoping Luan would take it easy.
"Okay," Luan agreed with a shrug.
"Really! Wow, that was easier than I..." Lincoln started happily but was interrupted by Luan.
"APRIL FOOLS PRACTICE! Lincoln, you know the April Fools Rules. Anyone who sets foot on our property is fair game. Speaking of which, is Clyde coming over? 'Cause I'd love just to say HAY!" Luan exclaimed while laughing like a lunatic.
They stormed back to Lincoln's room, put the mahogany back on his door, and Lincoln called Clyde.
"Clyde! Pleading with Luan did not work! She's an animal!" Lincoln yelled, but then he heard a cat noise and asked Clyde, "What was that?"
"Oh, that's Cleopawtra. She's been feisty lately, so we put her in a timeout crate," Clyde replied, not being concerned.
"Timeout crate. That's it!" Lincoln yelled and then hung up on Clyde.
"Of course. We put her in a cage like an animal, so she can't play any pranks on us," J.D. said, snapping his fingers.
Lincoln flees to think about his idea and tries to pull the mahogany off the door, thinking out loud, "Why did I choose Mahogany?"
Lincoln turns on the basement light. "Okay, we're all here?" Lincoln asks J.D., Varie, and his sisters, who aren't Luan.
"Wait. Let me do a headcount," J.D. said, wanting to ensure that Luan wasn't down there with them.
He counted the heads and was relieved to see that everyone had arrived and that Luan was not among them.
"Okay. We're all here," J.D. exhaled a sigh of relief.
"Shh! She's got ears everywhere!" Lola shushes them and then turns on the washing machine. "I saw this in a mob movie once. She won't hear us over the noise."
"Good thinking, Lola," Varie said, nodding.
We all know tomorrow is going to be awful. But it doesn't have to be. If we combine forces, we can prevent Luan from setting up any pranks in the first place," explained Lincoln.
"Uhhh, how exactly are we gonna do that?" Luan asked skeptically, not sure how that was going to work.
"Laney, you prepare for every prank Luan can think of every year, right? Do you have any containment options?" Lincoln asked, turning to Laney, who was going through her supplies.
"Sure. It's probably next to the insect repellent," she responded.
"Great! Now let me tell you all my plan," Lincoln said happily.
"Better make it snappy. We're almost done with the spin cycle," Lisa replied, warning him.
Later that night, Luan is snoring in Luna and Luan's room. Luna then rises from her bed and makes a bird-like call to show that Luan has fallen asleep. The room is then filled with people. Luan then opens her eyes as they tie her down, cage her, and use Chinese finger traps to keep her fingers together.
Luan was furious at what they were doing to her to keep her from her favorite holiday. "LET ME," she screams, "ME OUT OF HERE!"
"Okay," Lincoln agreed, shrugging.
"Really? Wow! That was easier than I..." Luan said, surprised that it was easier than she had hoped.
"APRIL FOOLS! We aren't letting you out until April 2nd!" Lincoln replied, interrupting her.
J.D., Varie, and the other sisters cheer because their plan worked.
"That was a crate plan, Lincoln!" Lynn joked, making everyone laugh.
"I've been crating for this moment all my life!" Lori joked, making everyone laugh again.
"Well, better crate than never!" Lana joked, making everyone laugh once more.
"That was off the chain!" Laney joked, making everyone laugh again.
"You've been sent into the Crate Beyond!" J.D. joked, making everyone laugh.
"More like the Crate Unknown!" Varie joked, making everyone laugh one last time.
"You're in a crate!" Leni tried to joke, but no one else seemed to get the joke. "Get it?"
"Perhaps we should just go to bed," Lincoln suggested, breaking the awkward silence, and everyone else agreed.
Luna's screams are heard the next day. The cage is now broken, which means Luan has just escaped, much to everyone's horror.
Lola starts to panic, "We're doomed! Luan escaped, and now she's going to be mad!"
"How could this have happened?!" Lincoln asked in horror.
"She's a black magic woman, dude!" Luna replied, panicking.
"I've got to get my money back for these," Lincoln says, holding up a loose chain.
As Lincoln pulls the chain, a bucket of honey is about to pour on him, but J.D. uses the Force to send the honey splattering into the wall. Feathers followed the honey, and J.D. swiftly grabbed an empty pillowcase and stuffed it with the feathers.
"It begins," Laney whispered ominously.
"Peace out. I'll be in my bunker," Lisa said, dashing off to her bunker.
"Everyone else, come to my room!" "We'll be safe there," Lincoln assured everyone. " As they all rush towards Lincoln's room, the parents appear by the stairs. Rita is dressed in padded gear, while Lynn Sr. is covered in bubble wrap.
"What's all this ruckus about?" Lynn Sr. asked everyone, confused.
"Luan's on the loose! TAKE COVER!" Lori yelled, panicking.
"But we thought you had her locked up!" Rita replied, horrified that she had escaped.
"She busted out!" Varie yelled.
"Head for the hills, you two!" J.D. yelled in worry for the two.
"Plan B! RETREAT! RETREAT!" Lynn Sr. yelled as he and Rita ran back downstairs.
As Lincoln checks his phone, he hears a ringtone and expresses concern, "Oh no! Is Ronnie Anne on her way? Could this day get any worse?" He slams his head against the wall. A rope attached to the wall connects to the vacuum cleaner, taped to the ceiling, and its bag opens. J.D. takes a trash can from Lola and Lana's room, and the dust falls into it above Lincoln's head.
"Whew! Thanks, J.D," Lincoln said, wiping his forehead in relief.
"No problem, buddy," J.D. replied.
"But on the plus side, that's one less prank Ronnie Anne could suffer," Lincoln said, but then he got an idea. "That's it! If I set off all the pranks in the house, there won't be any left for her."
"That's a good plan. It's a big risk, but I'll take it with you," J.D. was okay with it, but he was going with him to make sure he wasn't doing it alone.
"Lincoln, J.D., Varie, It's not safe out there!" Lynn said, worried for them.
"Save yourselves! I have got a job to do," Lincoln told everyone.
"Don't worry, Lincoln, I'll plan your funeral," Lucy assured him, even though she was worried for him.
"Luan has terrorized this house for far too long, and we're going to put an end to it once and for all," J.D. said, narrowing his eyes because this had gotten too far.
"Wait!" yelled Laney, and all eyes were drawn to her. "I'm coming with you."
"Laney! Don't be a fool! You're not going to stand a chance out there!" Lori said, concerned for her sister.
"Yes, I will! Because I've planned for every last practical joke, Luan has concocted for this day. I have the intelligence to protect Lincoln and end Luan's reign of terror, as we should have done years ago!" Laney pumped her fist in defiance.
J.D. and Varie applauded, showing that they agreed with what she had just said.
"Laney, you're a brave soul. I'll miss you."
Lola's words moved Laney.
"I'll plan all four of your funerals," Lucy said as a good-luck gesture.
The sisters close Lincoln's bedroom door and place mahogany on it. Lincoln puts on a helmet, pulls out a house map, and circles the kitchen.
"We'll begin by de-pranking the kitchen," Lincoln said, looking at the map.
They go downstairs, look at a sign that says "Kitchen this way," and pointed to the open front door.
"Kitchen this way? Ha! Does she think I'm dumb enough to fall for that?" Lincoln says while not falling for the prank.
"No, but she knows who is," Laney responded, knowing who the prank was intended for.
J.D. cuts the sign down with his lightsaber and says, "That takes care of that."
They take the original path and enter the kitchen, where they discover grease on the floor.
"She slicked the floor with grease," Varie observed.
J.D. notices something on the ceiling near the doorway and remarks, "There's a boot contraption."
He makes use of the Force to pull it out of the ceiling.
"Good thinking, J.D.," Laney said.
"Well, here goes nothing," Lincoln said, taking a deep breath.
"Be careful, Lincoln," Varie advised, concerned that he would be hurt.
Lincoln walks cautiously on the grease. But he slips and slides into the fridge. But, before a box falls on his head, J.D. uses the Force to pull it toward himself. As Lincoln stands up, he slips on the grease, opens the fridge door, and is smacked in the face by a boxing glove on a spring.
"Ooh! Ouch! "J.D. grimaced at what he had just witnessed.
He is thrown into the stove by the force of the impact. "OW!" His helmet falls apart, and a swarm of vicious raccoons emerges from the stove to attack Lincoln as he screams in agony.
"I made that dish from scratch!" said Luan, who came in from the other room. She then bursts out laughing.
Laney whistles, attracting the attention of the Raccoons. "Come and get it!" She holds out a steak to entice the raccoons out of the house. J.D., Varie, and Lincoln all give her a thumbs up.
The Loud siblings' parents are at Lisa's shelter in the backyard.
As Lynn Sr. knocks on the shelter door, Rita yells, "Lisa Marie Loud! Let us in!"
"I'll need some assurances in return! One, I will never again be punished for the explosions in or around the house!" said Lisa on the other side of the door.
"Happy April, Stools!" said Luan, holding a pile of Lily's stinky diapers. She is getting ready to fire a slingshot at her parents.
"Are those diapers? She wouldn't!" Rita hoped in horror that Luan would not do what she expected her to do.
Lynn Sr. begins pounding the shelter frantically. "You can have whatever you want! Please let us in!"
"Sign here, here, and initials here," Lisa says as she opens the shelter door with a contract.
After the parents sign their names, they hide while Luan shoots diapers at them. Varie then appears and fires an enormous wave of water from her hands, splashing Luan and covering her in Lily's diapers.
"Now that is a stinky defeat!" Varie joked.
J.D., Lincoln, Varie, and Laney are on their way to the bathroom.
Lincoln examines the map and discovers flying flour in the bathroom, exclaiming, "Ha!"
"This flour bag is about to blow up!" J.D. spoke rapidly. He uses his lightsaber to cut the rope and throw the flour down the hall, where it explodes near Lincoln's door. They examined the faucet and discovered that Luan had clogged it with toilet paper. J.D. removes the faucet nozzle and cleans it.
"Nice try, Luan," Varie said, almost impressed.
J.D. sensed raccoons nearby and fired Force Lightning at a towel rack, causing them to flee.
"Force Lightning? Awesome!" said Laney, impressed.
They headed to the next room, and Luan showed up and said, "Don't give up. No one likes a critter." She chuckles as she leaves the room.
"I'm never going to give up!" exclaimed Laney as she followed J.D., Varie, and Lincoln into the Living Room.
The other sisters were talking inside Lincoln's room when Lori said, "I think if we ration the food, we should be fine."
"What does "ration" mean?" Lana asked while eating a bag of chips and drinking apple juice. The others glared at her for eating the rations.
Lola scoffs at her twin sister's actions and says, "Typical. Someone must now go into the kitchen to get more supplies."
Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, and Lucy all speak at the same time.
"Let's draw straws!" exclaims Lana.
"I'll just go," Leni says, sighing. "I know I'm going to lose. I'm a terrible artist."
"Actually, that's not what-" Lucy tries to correct her, but Lola, covers Lucy's mouth before she can continue. "Good luck, Leni!" She and the other girls push Leni out of Lincoln's room and replace the mahogany on the door, and Leni goes into the kitchen, which is now prank free.
Lincoln looked at the map and said, "Okay. The living room is so far, so good." Then a red line appears when Lincoln crosses it, and a projector is turned on, showing an embarrassing video of Lincoln kissing a balloon with a face on it while Clyde is beside him.
"I think this is how you ki-" said Lincoln on the projection screen.
J.D. uses Force Lightning to short out the video projector system.
"That was close. If Ronnie Anne saw that, she would destroy you, Lincoln," said Varie, relieved that J.D. had destroyed it.
"Yeah. No kidding," Lincoln replied.
Laney tries to stop Lincoln from going to the couch and yells, "Lincoln, No!" However, the couch has a spring, and Lincoln flies to the ceiling and becomes stuck by sticky flypapers. He falls onto the couch and then gets back up.
"Looks like spring is in the air," Luan chuckled as she entered the room briefly before leaving.
Laney yelled angrily, "Get out of here!"
Varie splatters water on-the-fly paper, causing it to fall from the ceiling.
"These pranks are brutal!" exclaimed J.D.
Lincoln examines the house map and says, "Just need to finish the bedrooms! Laney, you go downstairs."
"Right!" Laney agreed.
"J.D., Varie, you two take the attic!" Lincoln told them.
"Right!" J.D. agreed.
Luan's pranks attack J.D., Varie, Lincoln, and Laney as they go through the entire house, clearing each room of pranks. Following that, the four of them are exhausted, battered, and filthy as Lincoln receives a phone call from Clyde.
"Lincoln! What is going on? Lucy just invited me to your funeral," Clyde asked, concerned about his friend.
Lincoln pulls a mouse trap from his eye and screams, "OW! I've been setting off all the pranks in the house so Ronnie Anne doesn't get hurt. J.D. Varie and Laney have been helping me. He lifts his shoe as sand pours out of it. "I've gone through every room except Leni and Lori's." Clyde gets off the phone. "Clyde? Hello!?"
As Lincoln walked downstairs to open the door, the doorbell rang, and Clyde was at the door.
"I volunteer to clear Lori's room," Clyde said bravely.
"Go get them, Tiger!" J.D. said as Clyde entered Lori's room.
When Clyde enters Lori and Leni's room, he is attacked by Luan's pranks. "It was well worth it. Lori's room has an apple cinnamon scent, "Clyde said, his face obscured by Luan's pranks.
"That could be this pie," Lincoln says, pointing to the pie on his head.
"Wait, what about Laney? Did she make it out, okay?" Clyde asked worriedly.
"What do you think?" Laney asked irritably, walking into the room. She is covered in garbage and food, with one eye blackened and a raccoon gnawing on her leg.
"Jumping Tuna Buckets!" shouted J.D, stunned.
"Man! You've had it worse than I have!" yelled Lincoln, seeing how she looked.
"It was well worth it. I made it through April Fools' Day. And call me crazy, but I found that going through these pranks was kind of invigorating," Laney said with a small smile.
"You're crazy," Clyde and Lincoln both said simultaneously.
"Right. That's something I'll never do again," Laney agreed.
"Well, that's aside. The Loud House is prank-free," Lincoln said. J.D. and Lincoln exchange high-fives as Clyde walks away and collapses. Ronnie Anne arrives and is taken aback when Clyde faints before becoming irritated.
Luan chuckles as Ronnie Anne arrives and says, "I won! You thought you'd outsmart me, but you got the worst pranking ever!"
"Give it up, Luan! We've cleared this house of all of your lethal practical jokes. You're done!" Laney told her.
"You wanted a prank battle, you got one, and we won," J.D. said as he folded his arms.
"Yeah! We only set off those pranks because Ronnie Anne was coming over," Lincoln explained. Ronnie Anne looks rather touched at hearing her crush say this.
"Yeah! Well, who do you think invited her over, genius?" Luan retorted back. Ronnie Anne's expression turns to a confused look.
"No..." Laney murmured as she realized it was all a set-up.
"This was all a set-up!" J.D. said, shocked, voicing Laney's thoughts.
"You double-crossed us!" yelled Varie, enraged.
"I knew I had to lure you out of your room, so I called Ronnie Anne and told her how much you loved April Fools' Day. And here she is, to deliver the final blow," Luan smiled. Lincoln turns to face Ronnie Anne, who pulls out a pie with a villainous grin on her face. Lincoln braces for impact and hears a splat... but he isn't hit.
"Huh?" Lincoln said, surprised. As Lincoln opens his eyes, he discovers she threw the pie in Luan's face instead. "But why did you do that?" Lincoln said, perplexed.
"You took all those pranks for me. It's the least I could do. Come on, let's draw some eyebrows on you and go get a milkshake," Ronnie Anne replied.
"I guess we owe you one, Ronnie Anne," J.D. said to her.
"It's the least I can do for setting me straight. J.D. Bobby says "Hi" to Lori, by the way," Ronnie Anne replied, shrugging her shoulders.
"I'll make certain she gets the message," J.D. said.
"Thank you, J.D., and we're even," Ronnie Anne said with a nod.
He gives her a smile and a thumbs up, and Ronnie Anne, and Lincoln leave the house to get their milkshake.
"That girl's a keeper! But J.D., what did she mean by "we're even?" Luan asked.
"Remember how we set her straight when she was picking on Lincoln?" J.D. asked her.
"Yeah," Luan said, unsure where he was going with this.
"We took all your lethal jokes to protect her from being hit by them. So we're even, "J.D. stated matter-of-factly.
"You're a true friend, J.D.," Luan said, relieved that he wasn't mad at her.
"Everyone, it's all clear!" J.D. shouted.
The family emerges from their hiding places, relieved that the prank fest is over.
"I think it's over!" Lynn Sr. said, relieved.
The other sisters cheered and agreed with him.
"Boy, you all took a major beating!" Rita said, taking a good look at them.
"Me, Varie, Laney, and Lincoln took all of Luan's pranks head-on because Luan invited Ronnie Anne over to prank Lincoln by having a Banana Cream Pie thrown into his face. Lincoln was afraid Ronnie Anne would get hit, and she would pulverize him into oblivion. So we all took Luan's pranks to avoid Ronnie Anne getting hurt," J.D. explained to the family.
"Wow! You did all of that for Ronnie Anne and us?" Lynn Sr. responded, touched that they did that for them.
"It's what we had to do. Also, I found this in Vanzilla," Varie said as she pulled out a blue paint bomb from her pocket.
"It's a blue paint bomb. I discovered it attached to the ignition switch. It was supposed to go off when the van started," Varie explained as she tossed the paint bomb into the trash.
"Good thinking Varie. Where's Lincoln now?" asked Rita, wanting to know where her son was.
"He's getting a milkshake with Ronnie Anne and getting patched up," Laney explained.
"AAAAWWWWWW!" cooed the rest of his sisters.
"Oh, Bobby says, "Hi" Lori. Ronnie Anne told me to tell you that from Bobby." J.D. slapped his forehead at his forgetfulness.
"Thank you for telling me, J.D.," Lori said gratefully.
"Also, Lori, Clyde volunteered to clear out your room of pranks, so he took them all for you. He came out, and his head was shaved off," Varie explained to her.
"Clyde took all those pranks for me?" Lori gasped, shocked and touched that Clyde did that for her.
"Mm-hmm. He saved you from losing your hair," Varie explained.
"He is a true friend. Tell him I said, "Thank you," Lori expressed gratitude.
"I'll relay the message," Varie replied, nodding.
J.D. feels exhausted and disoriented because of everything that had occurred that day.
"I'd love to tell you guys more, but as you can see, this whole experience has left me tired, weak, and disoriented, so I'm going to take a nap for a while," J.D. said before collapsing and Varie catching him.
Lisa examines him to ensure he is in good health. After a quick examination, she informs everyone of her findings. "He's fine, and it's just exhaustion from all of Luan's pranks. He'll be right as rain tomorrow morning," explained Lisa to everyone, making them relieved he was okay.
"I'll take you two home," Lynn Sr. said to Varie, looking worriedly at J.D.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lynn," Varie said gratefully after a long day.
Lynn Sr. drives J.D. and Varie back to J.D.'s mansion and places J.D. in a bed at his infirmary. Lynn Sr. revealed everything to J.D.'s parents, who were taken aback when they learned what had occurred.
J.D. awoke at 8:30 a.m. the following day with bandages on his face, arms, and one of his eyes.
"I'm home? In an infirmary? I didn't know my mansion had an infirmary," J.D. said to himself, confused.
When he was fully awake, he noticed Varie was by his bedside, and she had fewer bandages than him.
"J.D., you're awake!" exclaimed Varie joyfully before embracing him tightly.
"Yes. I'm fine, my love," J.D. returned her hug, grateful to see her.
His father enters the room, but Varie remains silent when he speaks because she knows how important this is.
"You gave us quite a scare there, J.D.," he said as he sat on J.D.'s bed.
"I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to..." J.D. said, but Sumner interrupted him.
"I know. Lynn told me everything. You guys are heroes," Sumner said proudly.
"I had no choice but to do what I had to do. I believe I put my life in danger for the sake of my friends. Luan's pranks almost killed us," J.D. elaborated.
"I know. She got a stiff punishment for it," Sumner told him.
"That stinks," J.D. said in response.
"You've got someone coming to see you," Sumner said.
His father exits the room, and Luan enters with a bouquet of daffodils.
"Hey, Luan. Those flowers are for me, right? "J.D. asked, seeing the flowers in her hand.
"Hey, J.D., and yes, they are," Luan said as she greeted him.
He takes the flowers from her and sniffs them.
"Mmm. One of my favorite flowers is daffodils. How did you find out?" J.D. was perplexed as to how she knew that.
"Yellow is my favorite color, and I thought you'd like them," Luan explained.
"Thank you very much, Luan," J.D. said gratefully.
"I also came here to apologize," Luan explained.
"What for?" J.D. asked, bewildered why she was apologizing.
"For hurting you and Varie with my pranks," Luan confessed, her head bowed.
"Luan, I've already forgiven you. But, to tell you the truth, Varie and I had a great time yesterday. Sure, it was dangerous, but it was also a lot of fun. But Luan, those pranks could have killed us. I know you want to be the funniest person on the planet, and you certainly have what it takes. True humor comes from the heart," J.D. said to her, hoping she'd get it.
"Thank you, J.D. I'll try to tone it down next year," Luan said, moved by what he said and taking it to heart.
Luan and J.D. hugged each other.
"When are cooks mean?" J.D. asked Luan.
"I don't know," Luan said, eager to hear the punch line.
"When they beat the eggs and whip the cream!" J.D. said, causing everyone to laugh.
"Good one, J.D. That's one of Egg-citing Taste!" Luan joked, causing everyone to laugh at her pun.
"Luan, you're hilarious!" Sumner laughed, coming back into the room for a moment.
"I told you she's a hoot, dad. There's one thing that puzzles me, Luan: "J.D. asked.
"What's that, J.D.?" Luan asked.
"Lincoln showed me and Varie a montage of April Fools' Day pranks you pulled a while back, and we noticed you stapled all the furniture to the living room ceiling upside-down. How did you accomplish that with no help?" J.D. questioned, perplexed, how she did it.
"That was amusing—one of my crowning achievements. My Clown School friends did me a favor," Luan replied.
"Ah. I see what you mean. That was Topsy-turvy!" J.D. chuckled. J.D. Luan, Varie, and J.D's father all laugh at J.D's pun. "That was a hilarious joke you told. IT WAS WAY ABOVE THEIR HEADS!"
J.D., Luan, Varie, and J.D.'s father laugh some more.
"You two are really funny," Sumner said.
"Thank you, Dad," J.D said with a smile. "Boy, I have quite the sense of humor, don't I?" he said to the readers. "I'm sorry we put you in that cage, Luan," he apologized.
"It's fine. I guess I deserved it. Well, J.D., get better," Luan sighed, disappointed in herself.
"I will, Luan. See you later, "J.D. said to her.
"Get some rest, J.D.," Sumner said as he patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, dad," J.D. said with a smile.
Varie, Luan, and J.D.'s father left as J.D. sat back in bed and watched television.
