The following morning, Luan was about to check the status of her ViewTube channel, but immediately after signing in, she saw that her inbox was crammed with requests from her sisters to check out their respective channels.

Luan sighed. "I guess I have nothing better to do," she said to herself as she hovered the cursor over Lynn's channel link and clicked it. She was then redirected to her channel, which already had one new upload. Upon clicking on it, the video began to load.


Video Title: Parkour To The Extreme!
Channel: Lynn Perfect
Subscriber Count: 13

"Hey, what's going on, everyone?!" Lynn said eagerly to the camera, while energetic rock music was playing in the background. "My name is Lynn Loud Jr., and today, I present to all of you the ultimate parkour course!"

Lynn then moved behind the camera and zoomed out, revealing the entirety of the obstacle course that she had set up in the backyard. It spanned from one side of the backyard to the other and it contained a series of platforms both on the ground and in the air and were made out of wood, ropes, and tires. At the very end of it all, there was a soccer goal and a kickball.

"In this parkour course, I will attempt to clear all the obstacles that I have set up and perform my signature trick shot on that kickball at the end and land it in the goal," Lynn explained. "But here's the catch: I only have one minute to accomplish everything! With that being said, let's get to it!"

Lynn then set the tripod for her camera on the backyard patio and then she pulled out her stopwatch as she walked to the starting point. "3...2...1...! GO!" she yelled as she pressed the button to start the timer. At that moment in the video, a timer began counting down from 60 seconds.

Naturally, Lynn was very fast when it comes to parkour, reason being that on Saturdays when she doesn't have any competitions or practice to prepare for or attend, she would spend them doing this activity alongside Lincoln.

At first, Lincoln was rusty when it came to doing it, just like how Lynn was when she first tried it, but overtime her skills improved immensely since she's been doing it so often. The white-haired boy may not be at Lynn's level, but the young athlete has noticed major improvements in his technique and speed.

Getting back to the video, Lynn was going through the platforms using wall jumps and somersaults at breakneck speeds. With 25 seconds remaining, she finally arrived at the soccer goal and was going to perform her signature move: "The Lynn Tornado".

The Lynn Tornado was a move that consists of Lynn lifting and sending the ball high into the air with her foot and then performing a tornado kick on the ground and then jumping in the air using that momentum to deliver the force onto the ball with the heel of her foot with a back spin kick.

With 17 seconds left to go, Lynn was already almost out of breath, but couldn't afford time to lose. She lifted and punted the ball high into the air, followed by performing the tornado kick and then leapt up to strike the ball with her heel. Once contact was made, the ball was sent falling to the soccer goal.

Or so it was...

Instead of going into the net, the kickball ricocheted off of the left metal goal post, then onto the lone tree in the backyard, off of the roof of Charles's doghouse, into Mr. Grouse's backyard, where the old man was taking out his garbage until the ball knocked over his trash can, and then it bounced off of the wall of the side of his house, before finally bouncing back into the Louds' backyard and managing to break the tree branches that were used to hold the platforms in the air. Needless to say, the "ultimate parkour course" looked a lot less "ultimate".

"LOUD!" Mr. Grouse yelled.

"Uh oh," Lynn said as she shut off the camera to avoid any more embarrassment.

Luan simply sat there on her bed, laptop in hand, shook her head, and rolled her eyes and smiled. It was typical of Lynn to get in trouble whenever something breaks, since she's the most reckless out of all of them, especially if she's doing something sports-related.

"I wonder how the others are doing..." Luan said as she pressed the "Back" button to return to her homepage, curious to see what the others' content consists of.

It was also at that moment when Lincoln, Luna, and Lily walked in, the latter of the trio crawling in before climbing and sitting to the right of the comedienne while Luna and Lincoln each grabbed a bean bag cushion and took both sides of the bed, enabling them to get a better look of what Luan was doing. When Luan headed to the inbox to watch a new video, she noticed the presence of three of her siblings.

"Oh, hey guys!" Luan greeted them.

"Whatcha doin', sis?" Luna asked, curious.

"Our other siblings have posted videos on ViewTube to get money," Luan explained. "Unfortunately, looks like Lynn is experiencing the process of the wait of achieving viral fame across the platform."

"Luan," Lincoln began. "When you first started doing videos on ViewTube, how long did it take for you to be as popular as you are now?" he asked.

"Remember that website that I showed you when you came to me for help in winning that video contest?"

Lincoln nodded, remembering that day as if it were yesterday; the time where he humiliated each of his sisters in exchange for popularity. It was only Luan who was open to helping him make amends by humiliating himself to even the balance. While his reputation at school when downhill, he didn't lose the trust and bond that he and his other sisters shared; a sacrifice he was willing to accept, to say the least. As an added bonus, he was even given a trophy made by them, titled "Most Improved Brother".

"That was how I got started," Luan continued. "And as more and more people started getting word on my website, I soon received a lot of followers not only on that site, but also on social media. From there, I took to ViewTube when I learned that it could work as a business or a quick way to make some cash. And with that, I announced on all those sites that I had an official channel here they can watch and view more content, and here I am."

"Wow, that's really interesting," Lincoln replied. "So, you just put your name out there before you started with this website?"

"Exactly, Linc. Not a lot of people would instantly click and subscribe to your channel the moment you start. It pays to put your name out there on a variety of sites, complete with the content that you plan on providing, whether it be to inform facts or entertain the masses. From there, slowly but surely, you will see that people who are interested in what you do will follow you on those sites, generating a fanbase. Also, it would be really helpful to put your username that you use on social media or on other sites to get your followers or newcomers to check out your stuff."

"Dang, sis," Luna interjected. "You really know a lot about Internet popularity."

"If you've watched as many videos about it as I have and tried it out for yourself, you learn a lot."

"Looks like all of them could learn about that lesson," The rocker responded as she pointed to Luan's laptop, getting the comedienne, Lincoln, and Lily's attention. "Your inbox had just gotten several new messages."

"Poo-poo," Lily added as she snuggled against Luan's blanket.

As Luan clicked on her inbox tab, she saw that there were four new messages: one from Lori, one from Leni, one from Lola, and one from Lucy; each of them wanting her to check out their channels.

With another deep sigh, Luan decided to go check out what Lori's channel was all about; Lincoln, Luna, and Lily equally curious.


A/N: Well, it's definitely been a while since I've posted a chapter, but here we are! Apologies for the short chapter, but now we have some insight at how Luan had managed to get popular online before she started posting on ViewTube. While Lynn has a disadvantage since she doesn't go on social media often, let's see what happens with a Loud sister who has a big reputation there. I'm trying to update these chapters whenever I have the chance, and you might be able to guess what Lori's channel will focus on. Here's a hint: listen to the "Listen Out Loud" podcast featuring Lori and Bobby.

Regarding the shout-out last chapter: the song was "Infinite" by Tyler Smyth and Andy Bane from "Sonic Forces". A guest got the correct answer, so kudos to him or her!

For this chapter, it's an easy one: What was the episode where Lincoln had posted embarrassing videos of his sisters in exchange for online recognition? Type the name of the episode in the comments, and you'll get a special shout-out in the next chapter!
