Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Prologue

So I'm a Loudie as well as a Ringer so naturally I wanted to combine the two in a Loud House Retelling of Lord of the Rings. This is also on the Loud House fanfiction.

I own neither Loud House or LOTR's. This was written purely for fun. Hope you enjoy.

(It's night time in the Loud House, twelve members of the family from Lynn Sr to Rita, to eldest daughter Lori down to fifteen year old Lily is gathered in front of the living room TV. Situated on or around the couch. The only member not yet present is the sole son of the household, Lincoln.)

(Said boy was currently in his room, searching his shelves. He turns towards the Audience as he becomes aware of their presence and begins.)

Lincoln: It's Friday night here at the Loud House, and on Fridays , everyone of us likes to watch a movie as a family. It used to be that we'd all fight over who got to pick the movie, but after that whole business of playing the friend card fiasco, we decided that it's be easier to just take turns. Last week was Lynn's turn with Space Jam…yeah big surprise, I know. But come on, everyone loved that movie. But this week, it's my turn to pick…and I have the perfect movie.

(Lincoln looks up and makes a "aha! He reaches up onto the shelf and pulls down a green case decorated with two giant statues standing on either side of a wide river, with three boats passing between them. On the cover is a title.)

Lord of the Rings. Fellowship of the Ring.

Lincoln: (continuing) Yep. That's right, Lord of the Rings. Best book and film series of all time, hasn't been topped before or since it came out. (he hesitates a second before adding) Though Star Wars episodes IV through VI came close…even if they came out as movies first.

Lynn: (from downstairs) Hey Stinkin'! Get your butt down here!

Lincoln: Well, that's my cue. (calling back) Coming!

(Lincoln heads downstairs and inserts the disc into the DVD player, before taking a seat beside Luna and under Lucy, who was perched on the couch arm as usual. )

(Lynn Sr hit the PLAY button on the remote, only instead of starting at the main menu, the DVD player starts to shudder violently and smoking slightly.)

Luna: What the hey!?

(Lynn Sr stops the DVD player and fans smoke out of his face as he checks what could've caused this.)

Lynn Sr: Ok…who tried to heat up a Pop-tart in the VCR player.

Lana: (raises her hand, looking guilty) Sorry, we were running behind schedule this morning, and Leni had already put her waffles in the toaster. Since the VHS tapes come out warm…I thought I could heat up my Pop-tart in there.

Everyone: (sighs) Lana.

Rita: Well, until we get a new DVD player, looks like movie nights are on hold for the time being.

(Lincoln lowers his head dejectedly. Luna sympathetically pats her brothers shoulder.)

Lana: (to Lincoln, apologetic) Sorry, big brother.

Lisa: Family, if you want…I could take a crack at repairing the movie playing device.

Everyone: (frowns at her) After the time you fixed Luna's CD player? No thanks!

(Flashback to Luna and Luan's room. Luna's repaired CD player, which now has a stack of discs on top, similar to a jukebox, sits on the nightstand. Luna comes in and selects a CD.)

Luna: Gotta remember to thank Lis, this new CD player is Rockin'.

(Suddenly the CD comes shooting out of the player. Luna ducks only just in time.)

Luna: (baffled) What the hey?!

(More CD's enter the player on their own accord, and come shooting out in quick succession. The other Loud siblings are drawn by the noise and come to investigate…only to join Luna in dodging the barrage of CD's.)

Lincoln: Lisa! What's you do!? (He narrowly avoids a CD)

Luna: Watch your head, Linc!

(Eventually, Rita comes upstairs to see what all the fuss is about. Before her children can warm her, she takes a CD to the head and falls to the ground in a daze.)

(Back in the present)

Luna: You still owe me for all those CD's by the way.

Lisa: (frowns) Dang it. Well, then I have an alternative suggestion. (turns to Lincoln) Elder brother, how well do you know this " Lord of the Rings" film?

Lincoln: (curiously looks up) Huh, pretty well. Ihave seen each one like…fifty three times.

Lynn: (coughs) Nerd.

(Lori gives the jock a hard elbow jab on the arm. Lynn rubs the sore spot, but takes the hint that she needs to be quiet and let Lisa continue.)

Lisa: Well family, my suggestion is thus. Since Lincoln knows the story front and back, why doesn't he simply tell it.

(Everyone turns to Lincoln and smiles.)

Lori: You know…that's literally not a bad idea.

Luna: How about it, baby bro?

Lynn: Long as there's action.

Lincoln: (grins) Oh don't worry, Lynn. There's action, adventure, magic rings, monstrous enemies, heroes in unexpected places. This is a story of friendship, loyalty and guys that are short enough to look like their twelve, but their actually in their thirties. This is the Fellowship of the Ring.
