Hey everyone! Here I am with another chapter for The Loud House Gets Stranded. And seeing as how it's thanksgiving, what better way to do a chapter than to have it be centered around a grand feast (or in this case, a banquet)? Also this gave me a chance to introduce some more characters from Harvey Beaks.

Hope you enjoy, and a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

After meeting up with the rest of their siblings, the Louds are being hailed by Harvey and his friends.

Harvey gives a speech. "Unbehath of your recent adventure, we would like to thank you Louds for rescuing us. And as a token of our appreciation, we have decided to hold a banquet in your honor. Complete with pineapples, mushrooms, smoothies, cave onions, and even dessert."

"Uh….Harvey?" Fee whispers. "We don't have any of that stuff."

"I know. That's where you guys come in. You see, when the panthers attacked, our food supplies were running a bit low."

"It's always something with you guys, isn't it?" Lynn asked sarcastically.

"Well this is quite a soirée," Lola sighs. "Where's the food?"

"We've already got a plan for that," Harvey explains. "You see, each of you has a special, unique ability. So we've all been given you a special task. You'll have to complete your tasks in order to get the food for the feast."

"I don't know," Lori says. "It seems kinda strange and far fetched."

"Come on guys!" Lincoln said. "We can do this! We've never let anything stop us before, so we shouldn't let anything stop us now! So what do you say? One for all and 10 for one!"

"Well, when you put it that way," Lana wonders. "I'm in!"

"So are we!"

"Alright! It's settled then," Harvey announces.

"Wait!" Lincoln stopped. "What about Lily?"

"Oh, she can stay here with Michelle."

"Good enough. Now let's do this!" The Louds each split up individually.

Elsewhere on the island, Lori was in a watermelon patch and approached a warthog and a dancing bear. "Hey, is that yoga you're doing?"

"Oh we're just trying to get this fruit….." the two animals paused as soon as they saw Lori and started to go into a lovestruck trance. "Be still my heart."

"Excuse me?"

"Pardon my friend," the warthog exclaimed. "I'm Rooter and this is Technobear."

Technobear was still in awe. "And you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen! I must have you!"

"Oh please!" Lori scoffs. "You got a much better chance of picking up the fruit, and that's not looking too good."

"Oh well, the thing is I can't exactly lift that much right now because I recently injured my knee doing something really impressive."

Rooter stepped in. "Say, maybe you can help me smash these melons we need to make our famous watermelon sorbet?"

"And what do I get out of this?" Lori asks.

"Well we could give you some to bring back to your little jubilee feast."

"It's on then."

"Great! All you have to do is smash these melons as quick as you can as they ripen. Otherwise they tend to spoil fast. And fruit only tastes good when it's fresh."

"Can't argue with that logic."

All over the field, Lori gathered every single watermelon she could find and gathered them into one big pile. She then proceeded to smash them, simply by bashing them against one another. Once she was done, the melons were all soft.

"You did it!" The two animals cheered. "That was like poetry in motion. We should totally get together on another date again soon."

"Another date?" Lori flipped out. "What is it with twerps having a crush on me?"

"But first," Rooter stepped in again. "It's time for us to make some of that watermelon sorbet I promised. Catch you later." Both Rooter and Technobear ran off.

"Well, I guess I should head back to the base camp," Lori thought.

At the same time, Lincoln was on his own mission. Lincoln then spotted a giant female spider. "Oh, well hello there. You must be one of those kids that Harvey was talking about. Name's Tara."

"I'm Lincoln and it's nice to see you. What are you doing here?"

"Your friend Harvey has asked me to prepare a dish for your banquet. The only thing is that I've been so busy with my kids that I haven't had any time to prepare it earlier."

"Don't spiders usually die after giving birth?"

"Not all of them do."

"Touché."

"Anyway, the stress has been making me so nearsighted, so I need someone to help guide me to the various plants I need to make my dish."

"Oh believe me. I know how much stress a big family can put on you. But I'd be more than happy to help."

"Oh of course you would. Such a nice boy you are. Now I do have a very specific order for these plants. Each one is a different color and some tend to dry up faster than the others."

"Okay, so where do we go first?"

"First we must stop at the sky blue hydrangeas."

Lincoln spotted a flower that was sky blue in a nearby bush. "Like this one?"

"Exactly. Next is the sea foam green flowers."

"You got it." Lincoln spotted a flower nearby of the matching color.

"Perfect. Now we need the purple lilacs."

It didn't take long for Lincoln to find that.

"Next is the golden dandelion."

The said flower was hidden behind a giant rock.

"Pretty good. Now I need the scarlet anemones."

Those flowers were found on top of the rock.

"Now we need the orange marigolds."

Lincoln found it next to a ledge.

"Next is the queen of the night tulip. As dark as the night sky."

It took him quite a bit of time to find that one.

"Not bad. Let's see if you can find the next one. It's called the larkspur. You know what color that is, don't you? It's a bit of a sapphire blue."

The sapphire blue plants were found in a shrub.

"On to the pink hydrangeas. It's a lot like the sky blue hydrangeas, but pink."

Thanks to it's bright pink color, the hydrangeas appeared to be more vibrant and visible.

"Only a couple more to go. Next is the wondrously rare chartreuse Lenten rose."

Admittedly, that one was more camouflage.

"And finally, all we need is lavender. The color being the same as its name."

It wasn't too hard to find that one, but once Lincoln did, he started feeling pretty tired. "I did it."

"Well done Lincoln. Let me just get the dish ready and you can head back to base?"

"Sounds good. I could use a break anyway. Thanks Tara."

"No. Thank you."

Lincoln dashes off.

Lucy went into a cave that was hidden beneath a pile of rocks. Inside there was barely anything but pure darkness (much to her amusement). "Whoa! This place is pitch black! And I like it."

"Lucy!" The voice came from none other than Harvey Beaks, who was standing in front of her right next to Foo. "Finally! You made it."

"What are you doing here?"

"This is the cave where the cave onions ripen. We need you to harvest these onions before the bats get them first."

"Bats?"

"If you can collect enough cave onions, we can prepare baked onion blossom extravaganza. We'd do it ourselves, but Foo and I have a bit of an irrational fear of bats."

"If this task involves bats, I'm in."

"Perfect! We just need enough onions before the bats come in to eat them."

"No problem."

In no time at all, Lucy had gathered all the ripe onions. But then started to her a faint squeak coming from the cave ceiling. She looked up and saw that there was a group of bats were headed right towards her. But unsurprisingly, she wasn't scared. Instead she just stood still as the bats came closer and closer.

"Halt!" Suddenly the bats stopped in their tracks. "I come in peace. You need not fear me. I mean you no harm. I have just come for a supply of cave onions. If you let me go, I will humbly give you a peace offering. You can have half of the cave onions and the rest in this cave, and I'll take these ones."

The bats were skeptical at first, but ultimately came to a humble agreement. They accepted Lucy's offer and flew away. Lucy then saw Harvey with a surprised look.

"Lucy! You did it! But, how did you know that would work?"

"I have a bat colony back at home. Turns out they don't like hurting people. They just wanna be left alone for the most part."

"Well, at least you've collected enough cave onions we need. Now we can prepare that dish we promised."

"Juicy sweet! Juicy sweet!" Foo cheers. "Juicy sweet! Juicy sweet!"

"They seem a bit too happy," sighs Lucy.

Moving on with the journey, Luna managed to find herself in an underground tunnel full of giant bouncy mushrooms. She then spotted a familiar face.

"Yo Harv! What's happening?"

"Hey Luna," Harvey greeted. "I thought you'd never get here."

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"I would like to direct your attention to the giant mushrooms you see before you. They are quite a delicacy and the taste is simply to die for."

"Okay," Luna says. "but why do you need my help?"

"These aren't just any ordinary mushrooms. These are special musical mushrooms. Each of them to recite a specific pattern and it's up to you to repeat them in the same pattern."

"Repeat?"

"You must repeat the pattern in the same order as the mushrooms light up."

"That's not what I meant dude. I feel like I've seen this before."

"I assure you this is unlike anything you've ever seen before. Yes it's a memory game, but with music."

"Music?"

"You are a musician, aren't you?"

"Well I can't argue with that."

"See, you'll do great!"

The mushrooms began playing a familiar tune. As each mushroom lit up, Luna bounced on each one in the correct order. After several patterns, the sequence was completed.

"Great work. I knew you could do it!"

"You were right, little dude. But there's something about that tune that kinda reminds me of something."

"Eh, you know. Music will do that to you sometimes. I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got a very important mushroom dish to make."

"See you, Harv!"

Elsewhere on the island, Lana comes across a giant muddy slide. Right next to it, she also spotted one of the wild twins.

"Hey Fee!" Lana greets. "What's going on here?"

"Harvey asked us to come here. He said there might be some food down this mudslide. And apparently you're the only one small enough and risky enough to go down it. I'd do it myself but we're the ones throwing the party. Plus I'm just lazy. So what do you say? Will you do it?"

"You had me at mudslide. This is what I live for!" Lana took a few steps back before running forward and jumping onto the slide. "Geranimo!"

Lana slid down the mudslide with much enjoyment. As soon as she came to the end, she landed face down into a giant mud pit. And to no surprise, she was overwhelmed by excitement. "Woo-hoo! That was totally awesome!"

Just then, two mangos came down the slide and hit her on the head. "Ow!" There she saw them right in front of her feet. "Hey! These mangoes are perfect! I should probably take these back to the banquet. But first….." she put the mangos into her front pocket. "I'm up for another ride."

In a nearby tree, Lisa spotted a group of fresh pineapples.

"This must be the ananas comosus (street name: pineapple) they were referring to." Lisa tried jumping, but she couldn't reach it. "Curse my minuscule structure," she groaned.

She then tried climbing, but then found herself slipping. She then ran off and got a log and began ramming it into the tree. But when that didn't work, she began thinking of something else.

"Perhaps if I can get the right trajectory….." Lisa pulls out her little handmade slingshot and tried aiming for the top of the pineapple leaves. The rock hit with accurate precision and the pineapples fell to the ground safely.

"Success!" Lisa gathers the pineapples and took them back to their base camp.

Meanwhile, Luan was back on the beach looking for food to bring back. What she spotted was a small dish of seaweed salad. "This must be it!"

But as soon as Luan tried reaching for it, she found it was heavily guarded by a bunch of tortoises. The tortoises were very angry and started coming at her with their shells. But Luan managed to dodge them.

"You know, that's the thing about tortoises. When it comes to food, they're always so shellfish!" Luan laughed at her own joke. "Oh boy, I crack myself up."

Luan then came up with a plan. She spotted two tortoises that were a distance from each other. Right as they started coming at her, Luan stepped away and the tortoises ended up crashing into each other, leaving them disoriented and dizzy.

"I guess their shells are the ones that are cracked up." Luan took the seaweed salad and ran off. "Later slow pokes."

Later, Lola is found in a giant vegetable garden. On her way, she meets up with a rabbit with golden fur.

"Oh thank goodness! Finally some help has arrived!" The Rabbit said with relief. "You are one of those kids that Harvey sent out, right?"

"The name's Lola Loud. And who are you supposed to be?"

"Name's Dade. Harvey's best friend."

"Okay, so what do you need help with?"

"Giant carrots love growing in this garden. But the problem is that these pesky moles like to steal them before they're even ripe."

"So, you want me to stop them from getting the carrots? How am I supposed to do that?"

"I don't know. I was hoping maybe you could knock some sense into them. Or at least knock them back into their holes."

"Now that I can do. I've been working on my hip checks for weeks."

"Okay, I really don't see how that will be much help, but if you think it'll work, alright. Give it a try."

"With pleasure."

As soon as the moles started popping up out of their holes, Lola used her hip check to knock them right back in. She was so fast that every time the moles popped up, they ended up back in their holes.

"Wow!" Dade said with surprise. "You really proved to those moles who's boss!"

One mole popped out of a hole for one more time. "And we would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling girl! You'll pay for this! You haven't seen the last of me!" The mole went back into the ground.

"Like I said, you sure showed that mole the way home."

"All in a day's work." Lola said with pride and satisfaction. "I sure hope the others are having as good of luck as I am."

In the forest, Leni meets up with Piri Piri who happens to be standing next to a little fox girl with glasses.

"Leni!" Piri said with joy. "Thank goodness you're here!"

Leni was a little confused. "I'm almost afraid to ask but what do you need me for?"

"These monkeys keep stealing all the coconuts we need to make our coconut coco smoothies," the fox girl exclaimed. "My name's Claire by the way."

"Pleasure is all mine. But I thought monkeys only ate bananas."

"Monkeys will eat any fruit they can get their hands on. And not just bananas," Piri clarifies. "We've been trying to get rid of them, but we're too small and cute. And those monkeys make me so bad, I feel like tying their tails to a tree and scream in their ears!"

"Well if you need to scare them off, then why can't Lucy do it?"

Claire Stammered a bit. "Well you see, your sisters and brother only scare them away temporarily, so they keep coming back."

Piri agreed. "But you, you can help. See these monkeys aren't afraid of you because you're more afraid of them. They can be a little crazy, but if you gather what courage you have, you can show them what for."

"You are right. They can be pretty crazy. I don't know about this."

"Come on, Leni! Don't you want some coconut coco smoothies? They're really delicious. If you won't do it for you and you won't do it for us, then do it for the smoothies."

"Okay, I'll do it…….for the smoothies!" Leni then stood in the middle of the coconut barrier and pulled out her scarf from behind her back. "Good thing I never leave home without this."

Leni saw the monkeys coming down from the trees. So she began using her scarf as a whip to scare them off. The problem was that no matter how many times she did, they kept on coming back. When all else was starting to fail, she turned to one last resort.

"Listen guys," Leni spoke. "I know you guys are pretty hungry, but we need these coconuts for something important. I get it. If you guys were in our shoes, you'd understand. Or if you even wore shoes period. I wonder how a monkey would look wearing boots. But anyway, we both want food. But I don't see why we can't work something out. How about you let me have the coconuts, and you can have this bunch of bananas I found this morning?" Leni pulled out a bunch of bananas from behind her back. "Do we have a deal?"

The primates looked at each other, then eventually nodded in agreement. So Leni gave them the bananas and they ran off. Leni turned around and saw the two girls staring with astonishment.

"Wow!" Claire said. "That was pretty amazing. But what were you doing with those bananas?"

"Oh," Leni answers. "I was saving them for a snack. But it looked like they needed them more."

"Well thanks for saving the coconuts for us," Piri said.

"It was my pleasure."

Finally, Lynn met up with a talking frog with headphones (Harvey's friend Mikey). "So I heard you wish to challenge me to a jumping contest. Think you can jump farther than me?"

"I didn't say anything about a jumping contest!" Lynn confirms. "We've never even met before. Although, now that you mention it, yes. I guess I do think I can jump longer than you."

"Well then, what do you say we make a little contest out of it, huh? If you can jump farther than I can, I'll give you some of my famous fruit dish. It makes for a pretty good banquet gift. Of course if I win, I might have to say a few words to humiliate you."

"Look pal, I come from a house with 10 siblings. There's no amount of humiliation that Lynn Loud Jr can't handle. Show me what you got frog."

"Cool." Mikey bounded about 10 feet apart from where they started.

"Good thing I've been working on my long jump." Lynn prepared herself. She took a few steps back and ran forward before jumping. And she surprisingly landed farther than Mikey. "What do you think of that?"

"Well, I guess I might have underestimated you, Lynn. You got spunk, I'll give you that. Of course, that was only the first jump. Let's see if you can make this next one."

The next leap was even farther than the last one. But just like last time, Lynn stepped back and proceeded to long jump. Once again she succeeded. "Top that, springy legs!"

"Not bad. Not bad. Now I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, my friend. You still haven't seen my best jump yet. I may have gone easy on you, but this time, I'm going all out."

The last jump was the farthest of all. And admittedly, Lynn was a little nervous about this one, but she knew she couldn't let anything stop her. So she did the same thing she did the last couple of times and managed to outjump the frog. "No one beats Lynn Loud Jr."

"Impressive. I might have misjudged you. Those are some mighty muscles you've got there. Here's a little something for your triumph."

Mikey took off, leaving a bowl of fruit behind. Lynn took the fruit back to the banquet.

Moments later, the Louds are all back together along with Harvey and his friends. The banquet is all set with food everywhere.

"Thanks for the help guys," Harvey congratulated. "Thanks to all of your special talents, we finally have enough food for our fine feast. And as a thank you, we'd like to give you…….. the key to the island!"

"Uh…..Harvey?" Foo whispers. "There isn't a door to the island, let alone a key."

"Oh. Well then what can we give them?"

"Well, it is a banquet," Fee said. "Let's just give them food."

"Eh, that could work." Harvey turns back towards the Louds. "Heh, heh, you know that whole 'key to the island' thing, it gets so old. And what good is it going to do you anyway? On second thought, I've decided to instead give you this delicious food from our banquet."

Lola seemed a bit envious. "I thought we were gonna get—."

Lana nudged her twin to get her to stop talking. "Ahem. Thanks so much guys. We were getting pretty hungry. Right…….Lola?"

"Yeah…….right. Very nice. Thanks."
