The next morning, Lincoln is still asleep in his bed, when his parents come in to wake him up. "Lincoln. Sweetie, time to get up."
"I don't want to get up right now," Lincoln mumbled in his sleep. "Five more minutes."
"Come on kiddo. It's time to rise and shine. And we've got a special surprise for you."
After Lincoln hears that word, he immediately jolted awake. "A surprise? For me?"
"Yep. But you can't look until we say so." Rita hands Lincoln a blindfold. "Here, put this on."
Later, Lincoln is with his parents and the rest of the girls (including Lily, each with blindfolds over their eyes) over at the docks where there's a bunch of boats and ships. Lincoln still has his blindfold on with his hands out in front.
"Where am I?" He asked confused. "Where are you taking me? And why do I have to wear this thing over my eyes?"
"You'll see in a minute Lincoln," his mother explains.
Lincoln then hears a familiar voice coming from behind him. "Can someone literally tell me what is going on here?"
"Lori? Guys? What are you doing here?"
"That's just what we were wondering," Luna said.
"Okay everyone," Lynn Sr. announced. "You can take your blindfolds off now." The kids take off their blindfolds off and they see a giant handmade boat. "Ta-da! What do you think? We call it the S.S.Loud"
"Uh….what the heck is this all about?" Lynn Jr. asked.
"You kids are going to take a trip of your own out at sea," Rita clarified.
"You mean, all by ourselves?" Leni asked.
"Yep. But don't worry, Lori will be in charge. It'll just be for a few days and you can radio us if you're on your way back."
"Okay, but what about food?" Lana questioned.
"There's plenty of food in the mini fridge if you kids get hungry. Any other questions?"
The kids shook their heads.
"Alright then. Have fun." The kids climbed aboard the boat, but as Lincoln is about to aboard the ship, his parents stopped him for a second. "Hold it Lincoln. We want to have a word with you."
"Okay. What about?"
"Well, I'm sure you're probably wondering why we're doing this."
"That's a pretty accurate guess, yes."
"Well, we've been thinking about what you said the other night, so we decided to let you expand your horizon for a bit. Now I'm trusting you to keep an eye on your sisters, all 10 of them. Just make sure they're well behaved and try not to let them get into too much trouble. Think you can do that?"
"I guess I could try."
"Thanks son. And don't forget to have fun. So long."
Lincoln climbed aboard the ship and the boat sailed away. The parents waved goodbye to their kids with tears in their eyes.
"I'm the queen of the world!" Lola is standing at the bow of the boat with her arms spread out.
Meanwhile, the rest of the girls (sans Lisa) are gathered around in the center of the deck.
"This isn't so bad," Lucy exclaimed. "Aside from the sun being too bright and Leni getting seasick….." leni is seen throwing up over the side of the boat. "...this is actually a pretty good vacation."
"As long as miss princess pants over there doesn't sing, I'm happy," Lana said.
"Hey! I heard that, you twit!" Lola yelled from a short distance.
"I told you not to call me a twit!" The twins engaged in a fight once again while the rest of the girls watched.
"Why do they literally have to fight like that all the time?" Lori criticized.
"It's a twin thing," Lynn answered. "What can you do?"
Meanwhile, Lisa is busy steering the ship while simultaneously working on the radio. Suddenly, Lincoln arrived to check on her. "Hey Lis', how's it going?"
"If you must know, I was trying to reconnect the radio signal so we could inform our parental units of our current whereabouts. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to accomplish this and steer the ship simultaneously."
"I can help."
"With all due respect elder brother, I appreciate your assistance, but this programming takes precise concentration."
"Not with that. I meant with the ship. I could steer while you work on the radio."
"Are you sure?"
"I sure am."
"It's a pretty big job. You won't daydream, will you?"
"Don't worry. I got this. You can trust me."
"Well….alright." Lisa then leaves Lincoln alone steering the ship.
"This is so nice," Lincoln thinks to himself. "Nothing but peace and tranquility out on the open ocean. Almost feels like a real adventure. Almost like a pirate adventure." Lincoln imagines himself as a pirate. "I'd be Captain Lincoln White Beard the pirate! World famous expoditionionist! Today, Captain Lincoln goes out in search of buried treasure. The only thing that stands in his way are a group of sharp pointy rocks. But they are no match for Captain Lincoln and the Loud pirates."
As Lincoln is in his little fantasy world, Lisa managed to get the radio to work. "Siblings! I've managed to receive a signal transmission!" The girls gather around the radio and they hear a familiar yet unrecognizable voice.
"Doesn't sound like anyone we've ever known," Lucy said.
"What difference does that make?" Lori says as she grabs the microphone. "Hello there? Lori Loud here. We're on a scrawny little boat in the middle of the ocean and…."
The girls are all talking into the mike at the same time. However the signal appears to be picked up by a distant island. On that island, a few friends (which consisted of two rambunctious gremlin-like twins (one female with pink hair and a male orange one with a curly hair tuff)) are having a vacation of their own. The female twin is busy working on a radio.
"Hey Fee!" The voice is coming from a certain mild mannered blue bird. "Did you get that radio to work yet?"
"Just a second dude. I'm picking up some weird soap opera or something." Fee then bangs on the radio with her fist and it finally starts working. "There we go. Took long enough."
"Well at least we got the music working. I wonder how everyone else is doing."
"Harvey, why did we agree to come on this trip again?"
"I told you Fee. This is a bonding experience."
"Well when you said we're going on vacation, I thought you meant somewhere new. This is the exact same stuff we see back home in Littlebark."
"This is new. Anyway what's wrong with this place? It's pretty cool."
"Well it's not good enough for me. Why can't we have a family vacation? You know, the kind where we fight over a bar of hotel soap?"
"And Princess hogs all the good towels?" Foo chimes in.
"And we order room service!"
"And we do ridiculously fun activities?"
"Yes! Ridiculous sounds really good right now!"
"But vacations aren't all about luxuries, Fee," Harvey answered. "They're about spending quality time together. They're about having fun."
"Well it's not fun if everything's the same," Fee complains.
Just then, a terrible storm rolled along. "Whoa! Looks like a storm's coming in! Come on, guys! Let's get back to the cabin!"
"Ah, what's a little rain gonna do?" Right after Foo said that, lightning struck right behind him and he immediately got scared. "Okay! You're right! Let's head back to the cabin!" With that the three friends head for shelter.
Meanwhile, back out at sea, the Louds are in the storm as well. The water is rolling waves rather roughly. The Louds are all wearing life jackets (including Lily).
Lola is right next to Leni on the edge of the boat and getting seasick herself. "It's bad enough we get stuck out at sea, but now we get lost in a storm."
"I can sea how much in decent sea this boat trip has to offer," Luan laughed. "Off coarse we could've taken the sea-nic route."
"If I hear one more pun out of you, I'm gonna be even more seasick!" Lola threatens.
"Seriously though, this whole trip is nothing but a bust."
"I believe that's the least of our problems," Lisa warned. "Look!"
The boat appears to be heading towards a path of rapid waves and sharp pointy rocks.
"We're dead," Lucy lamented.
"Lisa!" Lynn scolded. "I thought you were supposed to be steering the boat!"
"I was, but then Lincoln insisted…."
"YOU PUT LINCOLN IN CHARGE OF THE BOAT?!"
The sisters rushed to the control room and see their brother steering the ship, but not paying attention.
"Aw man!" Lynn groaned. "Is he daydreaming again?"
"Yep." Luan confirms.
"Lincoln!" Lana runs up and tries to wake up her brother. "Lincoln! You're daydreaming! Snap out of it! Wake up!"
Lincoln then shakes his head and snapped back to reality. "Huh? What? What's going on?"
"What's going on," Lori informed, "is that we're heading towards a field of rapids and giant rocks!"
Lincoln turns around and sees that her sister was right. Not only that but there was also a humongous wave right in front of them.
"It's a fifty foot high wall of water!" Lola watched in horror.
"We're gonna need a bigger boat," Lucy commented.
"Everyone get below!" Lisa leads everyone to the bottom of the deck beneath a cellar door. After they get in they lie quiet, but the boat gets picked up by the wave and flipped over.
"Well, this is how we came in," Leni said as she moved towards the door.
"NOOOOO!"
As soon as Leni opens the door, the room starts to flood. Lynn finally is fed up with it and makes her move towards the door. She dived into the water and attempted to flip the boat back over. Which she does, but the boat continues to sink. Lynn then finds a raft and sets it out near the boat.
"Everyone! Jump! Hurry!"
The Louds then hop onto the raft and attempt to stay on it. They then watched as the boat sank into the sea. Everyone then gives an angry look at Lincoln.
"Well Lincoln," Lori scolded. "I hope you're happy now!"
"Well maybe I am happy!" Lincoln barked back. "Maybe this won't be so bad. Maybe we'll land in a nice kinda place. Where they praise you like royalty, and animals run wild and free. Why do you have to be so negative all the time?"
"Oh sure. The good kind of place. This must be the most comfortable ride I've ever been on. Stranded in the middle of the ocean. Sure feel bad that Mom and Dad are back home where it's safe."
"Lose the sarcasm, big sis. It's not like it's my fault the boat got destroyed."
"Actually it is your fault! Because you were the one steering and you weren't paying attention!"
"Augh! Will you guys just shut up!?" Lynn groaned. "I can't stand this anymore!"
"Speak for yourself!" Lola retaliated. "I'm cold, I'm wet and my dress is getting drenched! And it's dry clean only! This is all your fault, Lincoln!"
"I said I was sorry! Come on, sis!"
"No! No more 'come on, sis' excuses! We're stuck here in the middle of nowhere and it's all your fault! I'm sick of you always screwing everything up for us!"
"I just wanted to have fun with my sisters!"
"Lincoln, stuff it! If you can't do anything right, then you don't earn my respect! If you don't have my respect, then I'm not speaking to you!"
"Fine! Be that way!"
The Louds try to go to sleep on the raft as they drifted away, but they were still pretty ticked off at Lincoln (and you know what they say: never go to bed mad). But as they were sailing, a giant whale's tail rises out of the water, which in turn woke the kids up and startled them. They began to turn the raft around, but it was too late. The whale's tail hits the raft, splitting it into many pieces. The Louds each hang on to a piece of the raft to stay afloat. But the Louds are now separated from each other.
