We finally enter the diner. It was your typical diner, 80's, fast food-y and complete with a jukebox though we didn't know the big secret hidden in the walls of the diner. Before we got to our table, I noticed Lori and Luna bonding. I always thought Luan and I are buddies since we're roommates. But never did I know they are behind something sneaky. Maybe not to Leni.
The Louds enter diner casually, not noticing that Leni got separated from them. They occupy one table at one piece, delighted on the casual diner atmosphere.
Mrs. Loud looks on the menu laid on the table and gets surprised at one thing. "Oh honey, ddin't they had an organic gourmet food products here," she utters.
"Fresh diary milk, straight from cattle?" Mr. Loud follows.
"No, not that one. This one," Mrs. Loud corrects him, "Whitening lotion and bath soap, made from all-natural milk. And so much more. I will check them out. You watch over the kids and order for us." She then hurriedly gets up from her seat and heads to the organic store.
"What will you be having sweetie?" he asks.
"Just anything without the beef," she replies.
"But everything here seems all beef," he responds but Mrs. Loud does not hear him, "Oh well, she can have the tofu burger. Hahaha. Just kidding. Kids, don't try tofu burger. It gets tofu-n the guts. Hehe. Get it?"
The girls think their dad's joke is corny, but only Luan is amused by it. "That's a good one, daddy. Soy funny. Hehehe. Get it?"
"Hahaha. Ohh Luan, you're getting me, you little clown," Mr. Loud compliments his daughter with rubbing her hair, "How that's what you called amusement, girls." But Lori, Luna, Lynn and Lincoln are irresponsive of their dad's obvious joking corniness. "Right, what I say give you Holy Cow's signature milkshake? Be right back."
"Ahhh finally! Thanks daddy!" Luna utters in relief, as Lynn Sr. heads to the counter to order milkshake for the siblings.
While waiting, the Loud siblings do their mundane activities: Luna playing with a straw, Lynn poking her baby's brother's nose, to which he finds ticklish, Leni still outside looking for "lost" and Lori insisting Luan to join her scheme. Speaking of Leni, she knocks by the glass window, to which Lori directs her to go inside. Leni mistakes the message to keep searching for "lost", which she does enthusiastically.
As she leaves with hopping, Lori continues her scheme. With that, she nudges Luan to remind her.
"What?" Luan whispers to Lori.
"Be ready. You have a joke in mind?" Lori asks.
"Yeah. But..."
"Good. Now we just need to literally wait for the milkshake to come."
Luna then notices the two gossiping. "Hey, what you two dudes talking there?"
Suddenly, Lynn Sr. gets back to the table with a freshly served chocolate milkshake at hand. "Here's one fresh chocolate milkshake. I'll get the others."
But Lori pushes the milkshake to Luna. "Let Luna have this one."
"Are you sure Lori?" Lynn Sr. asks.
"Don't worry dad. We can literally wait," Lori insists with a smile on her face.
"Okay. If you say so," he responds.
"Can Lynn and Lincoln have too?" Luna asks.
"I am afraid not yet sweetie. But don't worry. I'll give them chocolate ice cream they sure will like. I'll be back!" Lynn Sr. then heads back to the counter to await the five remaining milkshakes for the family, in addition to the chocolate ice cream for Lynn and Lincoln.
"Well, it's about time," Luna utters in excitement before she tries a chocolate milkshake for the first time. As she places a bending straw to her mouth and dunks it to the mouth-watering beverage, Lori elbows Luan, signaling for her to initiate their plan.
"Uhmm, Luna, can I ask you something?" Luan enunciates.
"Mmmm…" Luna mutters in response.
"How did Hershey get along with the Dairy Queen?"
"Hmmm, don't tell me this one of your puns?"
"Oh come on, Luna. Please!"
"Fine. How did Hershey get along with the Dairy Queen?" Luna goes along with Luan's joke, and then returns to slurping the milkshake.
"With a chocolate milk shake, of course. Hahaha. Get it?" Luan jokes, and then laughs hysterically.
Surprisingly, even though she gets the obvious joke, Luna cannot help but chuckle along, which causes for the milkshake under freezing temperature (or its sensation) to rise to her spinal cord and hit her brain, and for it to cause a brain-freeze. With that, Luna screams from the intense cold sensation. "Aahhhhhh! Freezey brain!"
But on the other hand, the rest of the siblings laugh at Luna's demise, with Lori making the evilest snicker.
"Ahhh! My head!" Luna continues to wail.
"Well, I think things shake up as they do. Hehehe," Luan comments.
"Seriously?!" Luna reacts as she tries to rub her head to rid off the freeze in her head. But as she attempts that, the then-young rocker snorts out the milkshake from her nose to Lori, much to her surprise. But Luna takes a laugh at this. "Oh Lori, you look so shaken!" she mocks her, then gushes out more milkshake from her nose to her sister. "Oh Lori…"
The sisters also react to this sudden feat with laughing alongside Luna. But Lori is not taking the mockery too well, causing her vent anger. "That's it, Luna! You're gonna get this!" she utters in vexation.
Lynn Sr. then abruptly enters the scene. "How are my girls doing?" he asks.
"We're doing fine, daddy. Just fine," Luna answers with a subtle sneer to Lori, to the temper of the latter.
"Sorry I took so long. It took forever to serve the chocolate milkshake," Lynn Sr. mentions as her serves two more milkshakes to the table, then suddenly notices Lori soaked in chocolate, "Lori, what happened to you?"
"Luna squirted milkshake on me!" the Loud sister complains.
"Awww poor thing. She didn't do that on purpose," Mr. Loud says as he pulls out his handkerchief to wipe off the chocolate from her face.
"But she did that on purpose!" Lori defends.
"Relax, honey. She's just clueless, that's all."
"But dad?!"
"Relax honey. Now I'll be back for your other milkshakes and a napkin for your dress. Just stay foot guys." Lynn Sr. then goes back to the counter and waits for the rest of the milkshakes.
Meanwhile, Lincoln, curious about the stuff that Luna is drinking, begs to grab hold of the milkshake, but Luan snaps him out of it. "No Lincoln. Dad said you can't have this yet. Don't worry, he'll give you ice cream." Lincoln then says, "Ohh…" in a baby tone.
On the other hand, Luna opts to enjoy the rest of the milkshake but Lori deliberately topples the milkshake glass, making it spill to Luna.
"Hey! Lori!" Luna whimpers.
"That's for you, milkshake snorter!" Lori mocks her.
"That does it. You are mad at me since ever. Why is that?"
"Why do you even ask that? Shouldn't you know what you're doing to me?"
"Shouldn't you not be a mean sister?"
"Oh, me? Literally a mean sister? How about this, Luna? You and I in a milkshake drinking contest."
Hearing that work just has Lynn jump for joy and go in support. "Ooohhh, contest! Contest! Contest!"
"If you win, I will admit that I'm literally a mean girl and a sore loser. But if you lose, you will be my personal beauty assistant forever. I'll be beautiful and you'll be not…beautiful. What do you say?" She then reaches out her hand to Luna, waiting for a mutual agreement.
Upon reflection, or not that much, since they are just kids playing off with each other's mockery, Luna goes along, "Fine. Deal!" And then she shakes her hand to Lori's.
"Are you sure about this Lori? I think it got too far," Luan hesitantly raises her concern.
"Got any problem with it?" Lori replies.
"Nothing. Just I thought things went so shaky. Hehehe. Get it?"
"Then shake it off and get a grip."
Lori then takes away Luna's nearly-finished milkshake tub to Luan, which she enjoyably drinks from. After that, she takes the two newly served milkshakes (which baby Lincoln tries to desperately reach out, much to his infantile displeasure) and places for hers and Luna's to consume.
Lynn stands to the table to officiate the milkshake contest (yes, really) with her toy whistle and mini flag. And in slight baby gibberish, she articulates, "Lwwowwi, Lwwunaw, onww yoww muhk, gehhwt sehht, dweenk!" With her faint blow of a whistle, the sisters duke it out on who will be the first one to finish the milkshake. Luan is at the edge of her seat (literally and figuratively) on witnessing the action.
However, Lincoln is bored of his mind since he has no clue of what is going on with his older sisters. His baby instincts just dictate him to hanker for chocolate to answer his curiosity. He finally has his attention on a cart passing by with an advertisement for Holy Cow Diner's signature chocolate ice cream. Needy and desperate, the then-8 months old infant slides towards under the table and crawls away without a trace. And no one from his sisters notices this.
Back at the contest, Lori and Luna continue slurping every inch of the milkshake. Lori gets the upper hands since Luna drank half a glass earlier, which nearly filled up her stomach. Plus, the brain freeze still retained as she gulps more of the dairy dessert drink.
"Can't take it," Luna mutters then suddenly backs away from the drink, giving Lori the advantage to finish up her drink and win the contest.
"Woohoo! I literally did it! I did it! I did it!" Lori cheers tremendously, along with a clue, "I beat you Luna."
"That's okay Luna. You did your best," Luan cheers her ssiter up with a pat on her back
But Lori claims all the attention. "And in our agreement, you will have to be my beauty assistant. Now, in first order of command, wipe the chocolate off my face."
"Whatever…" Luna mumbles while full. She then turns her head to see Lincoln's baby blanket. She then raises a legitimate concern. "Hey guys, where's Lincoln?"
"He was just right beside me," Luan answers.
But Lori and Lynn ignore Luna's concern. "I did it! I did it!"
"No Lori, seriously, where is Lincoln?" Luna inquires hastily of her sister.
"He might be around here," Luan says as she and Luna search for their brother underneath their table.
"Come on. Let's search for him," Luna agrees.
"Oh, will you keep it easy guys. I think he literally jut went along with Leni on her search for 'lost'. I think 'lost' meaning she lost her mind," Lori mocks. But as she enunciates, Lynn tries to call her attention with baby gibberish and point at a possible location of Lincoln.
"Lwwwwowwwri!" Lynn calls her out.
"What is it, you baby?! Did you need one more pee-pee time? We already did that in the gas station awhile ago!" Lori replies angrily.
But out of hopelessness for her to understand her search, Lynn turns Lori's head to the location of baby Lincoln: about to enter an ice cream cart en route to the secret factory. They then witness the infant Lincoln crawling towards the cart.
"Guys, I think I found Lincoln!" Lori calls out her sisters, to which they respond quickly. They can only witness their baby brother get sucked into the cart of ice cream and for the cart to be pushed away to the factory. At that sight, Lori, Luna, Luan and Lynn scream "Lincoln!" and catch up with the cart.
Yeah, it was a crazy time at the diner. Me and Lori know our rift with each other. But never did any of us knew the adventure that's waiting for us to put us together.
Then back at the real world setting, Lincoln is about to serve dessert for the siblings to get more engage with the story, "Speaking of which guys, who wants a tub of ice cream? I have five here, just to get the story more exciting."
And just hearing ice cream, the sisters yelp, "Me!".
Lincoln then serves a tub of pistachio-and-nuts flavor for Lana and Lisa, a tub of cookies-and-cream flavor for Lola and Leni, a tub of rocky road flavor for Lynn and Luna, a tub of chocolate for Lori and Lily, and a tub of black forest for Luan and Lucy.
While snacking, Lucy insists, "Go on, Luna. Keep telling.
She then replies, "Okay, as I was saying…"
