Suddenly, Lori stops Luan from continuing the story. "Okay hold up. Why does it seem that you're literally telling that I'm the bad guy in this story?"
"Uhmmm because you were responsible for the whole thing?" Luna points out.
"What? What did Lori do?" Lincoln asks.
"Oh whatever it is, wicked sister her succeeded her plan," Luna answers.
But Lori defends, "Well, it doesn't mean that I'm the bad guy of this story!"
"Sheesh Lori, that's exact same thing you said that time," Luan reminds her.
That triggers Lori for her anger to escalate, since the narrative portrays her negatively. "I know what I did. But that shouldn't mean that I'm the bad guy!"
Leni tries to pacify her sister, "Calm down Lori, you know what anger does to you? It adds the stress."
"Well, you should accept the fact that you actually try to sabotage my act to do your 'singing'," Luan stresses. "No wonder you got in treble. Hahaha. Get it?"
Just with that punchline, Lori beats up Luan evenly.
"Yo dude! Stop!" Luna intervenes, but she gets absorbed to the squabble as well.
Leni tries to walk out, to no avail. "No guys! I was just gonna…AHHHHH!"
"Oh good! A fight!" Lynn then leaps to get sucked in to the fight cloud.
The younger siblings are just aghast at the happenings right now. Lisa is even observing the whole occurrence of the situation.
"Good grief, even me and Lana are not that violent," Lola points out.
However, Lana questions that claim. "What do you mean? You at one time crushed my blanket fort!"
"Because that's a scented towel you used, not a blanket!" Lola growls. Because of that, the blonde twins snarl in anger at each other.
Thankfully, Lincoln stops them, "Okay, let's not add another fight here. One is enough."
Meanwhile, Lucy finds a photo that is somehow linked to what happened in the Talent Show. "Hey Lincoln, check this out. I think this might answer everything."
Lincoln then glances at the photo, which features his sisters looking weary onstage while Luan holds a perfectly safe Lincoln. On the background, some debris is shown, like a fallen curtain, dropped stage décor and confetti. From the looks of his sisters, Lincoln assumes that the siblings inadvertently caused a riot during Luan's performance that sends in cartoon bruises.
"Guys! Guys! Will you pay attention guys!" Lincoln tries to call out his sisters, to no avail. Their entire attention right now is beating each other up.
Luckily, Rita enters the living room, only to encounter the ruckus. "Girls, what's going on here?"
Hearing their mom, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan and Lynn stop the squabble. "Nothing mom!"
Lori then gives this excuse, "We were just…uhmmm…a mosquito flew…here…so we try to kill it out. But we end up like this." Then, the girls beam to assure that.
"They were fighting over this." Lincoln then gives the photograph to his mom.
She then recognizes that occurrence from Luan's first public performance. "Wait, was this the final act where you girls claim that 'a hidden magician got unleashed and you try to stop him from hurting Lincoln'?"
Lori then murmurs to Luan, "Why did you ever gave that excuse?"
"I couldn't think of anything else," Luan answers whisperingly to her, "Don't blame me. I was 4."
"Wait, what really happened that time?" Lincoln asks.
"Because even for us, that excuse was too obvious," Lucy adds.
"What are you kids even doing?" Rita asks.
"Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan and Lynn were telling Lincoln's baby stories," Lana answers.
"For real? I really appreciated that you kids sharing memories to each other," Rita compliments them.
"But for now, we want to know what really happened in that Talent Show," Lola demands.
"Come on Lori!" Lincoln pleads. "You're not even a bad guy. You are just too ambitious that…I get it. It is not positive. But hey, we can change our minds."
Lori knows for the fact that she cannot water down what is her role in Luan's account. So, she resolves, "Lincoln, I really try to sabotage Luan's show. How is that positive?"
Luan then tells her, "Well, maybe I can mention that part where you also save the day." With that, Luan continues the story.
It was in the middle of the performance that I knew something is wrong. The stage lights blink on and off as if a light show is taking place. Then they shut suddenly. Only a spotlight shines on me. Then, that voice…
"You think you can steal my thunder on what supposed to be my show? You jokester annoyer show stealer stupider!" a villainous voice says from the amplifiers. It is truly obvious who this is. "Well, let me prove you literally why the Joker is a bad guy."
Rita then recognizes the voice, "Wait, literally? Isn't that what…?"
But Lynn Sr. boasts his excitement. "Oh boy, Luan is getting good in her performance. Oh, I wonder what's gonna come!"
"Now, let's go to the final act!" Just as she finishes her words, fog spreads out of the stage smoke machines. While the others think this is part of the act, Luan covers her mouth and face from the thickening fog. "And of course, everybody gets to enjoy the show, so kids!"
At that signal, the kid participants of the talent show see candy getting drop from above to the stage. With that trail of candy, they suddenly go berserk and rush onstage to grab every confectionery possible. Of course, this causes Luan to get stampeded; though, she tries to lift baby Lincoln high to avoid being trampled. "Lincoln, hang on!" Luan says.
The disembodied voice of Lori then dictates, "Oh boy, but the fun has to stop there because Luan has unleashed a terrible monster!"
Behold, Lynn in werewolf couture gets unleashed onstage. "WHO HAS BALL?!" Lynn's werewolf makeup is so believable and frightening that it causes a huge scare for the kids that they flee backstage in full retreat.
"WHERE IS BALL?!"
Luan steps up to stop her uncontrollable sister or girl-wolf-pig. "Okay whoever you are, you are not looking your beast. Hehehe. But enough jokes…" She then brings out her magician's hat to grab any helpful thingamajig, but "Ouch!", she only gets snapped by a mousetrap in the hat. "What is it doing here?"
With that fail, Lynn playfully charges to Luan, pretending she really is a "girl-wolf-pig".
But Luan brings out her water squirter, only for it to malfunction at first use. "Huh? Where's the water?" She then tries to get it working, which suddenly jets tons of water at her.
This causes for Lynn to lunge at Luan's face. Lincoln then gets dropped in the process, but Leni saves him on time and places him on a podium she brought onstage. This goes part of the act, as Leni gives her monologue she reads from the palm of her hand: "The…land of Loo…wan…is dark. Literally dark. And is swarmed by…wear…wolfs…"
While that is going on, Luna suddenly spots two scary rabbit figurines being lowered from the stage ceiling towards where Lincoln is sitting. "Oh no, this is going to bother little dude! Hang on Lincoln!" She then races to save Lincoln, but she gets hit by a crescent moon stage décor that throws her off stage.
Leni continues, "One person called Loo…wan…I don't how to read this…Loo...ahn…thinks this is a joke…to still thunders and make it her own." Cue lightning lighting effects and thunder sound effects, which its loudness causes Lincoln to cower down. Then, it becomes an all-out stage show with the technical theatrics. To how Lori is able to execute this is anyone's guess.
That culminates for the deathly rabbits to be lowered down, and Lincoln can just stop and perceive the fear that comes out of nightmarish images of bunnies.
The voice then takes over, "But not to worry, there is only one girl who can stop them all. And it is…" Cue for the show to stop and emerge Lori in a dress that looks like Cinderella. "Me! I am your princess of the night."
Sudden applause emerges from the audience.
"So Lori, is going to perform now?" Lynn Sr. wonders.
"I told her not to join the talent show," Rita clarifies, "I don't know why she is here."
"I shall sing to you a princess song that defines all princesses!" Cue the iconic princess track: "Low" by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain. And of course, Lori sings it terribly, "Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, the whole school was looking at me! She hit the floor!"
Then, the punchline comes when Luan throws Lynn towards her, making them hit literally on the floor. She then takes the mic stand to her. "Who says I'm stealing your thunder?"
"I am! Because you are, Joker!" Lori then pulls the mic wiring to her, letting Luan slip from the stand. "And now this is my show."
Immediately, Luan unleashes a confetti cannon and bursts the colorful streamers to Lori. "Now let me 'show' you how much colorful you are. Hahaha!"
Then begins a swordfight between Lori and the microphone stand, and Luan and her empty confetti cannon. Fitting enough, the music proceeds to the Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
"You'll literally never get away with this, Joker Luan!" Lori proclaims.
"Oh, I wish you have the last laugh, but I do. Hahaha!" Luan replies cleverly.
Meanwhile, Leni is just standing for her next cue. "Uhmm Lori, should I just stand here?" But as she is stepping back, the klutzy blonde trips over the fog machine that spurts out smoke to baby Lincoln. The infant tries to back away but he ends up falling from the podium, only to be saved by Luna on the swinging moon.
"Glad to have you little bro!" Luna says, "Now just need to know how to get down."
But the only thing they can do is watch the lightsaber battle between their sisters, as highlighted by their throwaway lines.
"You cannot underestimate the power of the Lo-ri!" she enunciates.
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Hahaha!" Luan mocks her, which angers Lori more.
"Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this!" Leni utters and then trips.
But Luna takes the time to chill on the moon décor. "Hello dudes! We are flying to the moon! Let us play among the stars!"
"Quit it, Luna!" Lori scolds at her rocker sister. She then throws a ball towards Luna, to which Lynn responds by leaping to get it, with Luna falling from the moon in the process.
"Stop it dudette!" Luna reprimands her out-of-control sister Lynn.
Lori then moves back to finishing her duel with Luan. She hits the confetti cannon repeatedly. And in a repeat attempt, the cardboard softens and breaks off. Seeing Luan vulnerable, Lori pushes her down. "Now, Luan Sly-Joker, you will die!"
The audience is just astounded at the Shakespearean tragedy in front of them, even Lynn Sr. and Rita. But as everyone turns their attention to the duel, Luan turns her attention to the ceiling, where she sees baby Lincoln hanging on the moon, right on his diapers. "Linky!" Immediately, she flips from the wooden floor, knocks the mic stand, grabs it and points it directly to Lori. "Princess Lori, I am sorry I have to beat you! But my brother Lincoln is in trouble. Look!"
Lori then looks above to gasp, "Lincoln!"
"Now Princess Lori, I know you want to show your talent. Everyone does. But if you would set aside what we both want to show in the world and show how much we love our brother. What do you say?" Luan then reaches out her hand to her older sister.
On the other side, Lori is speechless at Luan's gesture, especially since a younger sister has to do this to her. No wonder that she slowly shakes her hand to Luan in truce.
With that, the five Loud sisters gather to come up with a plan.
"Dudes, how do we save Linky?" Luna breaks the ice.
On the spot, Lori comes up with something by pulling out a picnic blanket from Luan's magician's hat. "Here! One of the pranks I set for you. Thank me later!" The sisters then open the blanket on each corner to wait for Lincoln's diaper to get loose from the moon crescent.
Surely enough, that happens when his diaper wedge gets ripped off and infant Lincoln falls freely, making him bounce on the sheet to another direction.
"LINCOLN!" The sisters then try to grab hold of their baby brother but they fall to the floor. But Luan's arms immediately grab Lincoln from above.
"Awwww…" they pout as they get up.
"Is everyone okay?" Lori asks them.
As this is grueling for the siblings, Lincoln is unperturbed from the rescue. He is just jolly.
"I think Lincoln is happy," Leni comments. "Is it bad?"
Just as she says that, the moon stage prop suddenly has its rope loosened and falls behind the siblings before crashing down before them. Luckily, the crescent shape saves the sisters, who all cover themselves to protect their baby brother.
When the slight dust clears up, the audience remains speechless at what just happened. So, intending to cover the backstage drama, Lori continues with the show with her impromptu monologue, "Oh Luan, I never thought you would do something humbling, you helped save us from the evil moon scaring our little brother. You have done great!"
With that proclaimed, applause comes from the audience. Even some give a standing ovation, including their folks. The sisters are just overwhelmed with the responses that they gather in line to do a stage bow.
However, the results of their tremendous performance do not vary for the victory; they achieve 3rd place. Yet, they manage to win the "People's Choice Award".
Backstage, the sisters contemplate the near wreckage they caused.
Lori then breaks the ice, "Luan, I have to admit I was not literally thinking this through. I was too stupid, because I was literally too much of a drama queen. I was jealous that you get to perform, not I. So…I am sorry…for everything."
Even then she kind of bears hard feelings, Luan retracts it with a sentiment of forgiveness in the form of a hug. "I get you Lori. You don't need to be sorry. We did a good show, all of us!" Luna, Leni and Lynn agree so. "And, we get to save baby Lincoln!"
"Yes little dude, you're too brave," Luna praises him, to which Lincoln giggles at.
Their parents bust in. "How are our kids!"
"YEY!" Immediately, the siblings gather to embrace them.
"Good job you did there girls…and Lincoln!" Rita commends them. "Though some of it, I have to wonder…"
"Yeah, I don't even have to check my pager, just because you guys did a great job!" Lynn Sr. praises them. "Now, why don't we celebrate this with pizza!"
"PIZZA!" With that, the entire family hits the road to celebrate.
And that pretty much sums up that. After that, we got asked by our teachers of the trouble that happened. We told the truth. But still, they gave us a pass when the Talent Show was that a hit. What can we say? Lori and I stick up to each other. Luna was a good drummer. Leni…was good. And Lynn still loved anything round. And of course, Lincoln grew up happy. We really showed how talented we are. Yeah, not a good punchline.
