It was a snowy day, and it began at the Knudson-Loud-Anderson Estate.
Inside the house, Leni turns on her dryer and points it to a pot of goulash as her way of defrosting it.
"Dinner's almost ready, guys!" yelled Leni.
J.D., Varie, Aylene, Riley, Jessie, Starfire, Raven, Terra, the Ed's, Naruto, Sakura, Fu, Rin, Ino, Hinata and the Loud siblings, except Lana and Lily, are watching what Leni is doing.
"Uh, Leni, what are you doing?" Lincoln asked, confused.
"Defrosting the goulash, Dad left us," Leni explained.
"I don't think a hair dryer is going to do you any good," J.D. pointed out.
"Yeah," Laney agreed. "That'll take hours."
"I tried this once and it didn't work," Jessie admitted.
"Maybe you should try the stove," Lori suggested.
Leni nodded and said, "Good idea. I was worried this would give goulash split-ends, anyway."
Lana threw her hands in the air and yelled, "Forget the goulash! My favorite racecar driver, Bobbie Fletcher, is holding a contest tonight at the Burpin' Burger!"
"Bobbie Fletcher? The world-famous NASCAR Racing Champion?" J.D. asked in confirmation.
"That's right, J.D.," Lana said, and then a fantasy of Lana winning the wrapper appeared. "Whoever finds a burger with a tire mark wrapper gets to be an honorary member of her pit crew!"
In Lana's imagination, Bobbie opens the windows of her car and her racing helmet. "I see that you got the winning wrapper! Welcome aboard, Lana!"
Lana, dressed as a race car driver, holds a burger wrapper with tire tracks that says, WINNER. Lana finishes her fantasy in the same pose.
"I know what you're going to say," Lana said. "Mom and Dad left us plenty of food to eat while they're away for the weekend, but-"
The horn on Vanzilla honks. Lana notices everyone has left and is now in the car. Starfire, Naruto, Sakura, Fu, Rin, Ino, and Hinata are flying, while Terra is floating on a chunk of floating rock.
"You had us at the "Burpin' Burger!" Lincoln remarked.
Lana grabs her coat with excitement. "HOPS! JACKET JUMP!"
Hops jumped right into Lana's jacket and winked at her.
Lana rushes out the door. "Whoo-hoo! Yeah!"
"Everyone, I'd like to call your attention to the rapidly descending ice crystals, street name, snow!" Lisa told everyone.
Lana rolled her eyes. "Fine, Lis. You can stay here and eat the goulash."
Lisa panicked and yelled, "I call shotgun!" She rushes into Vanzilla.
J.D. looked around and realized someone was missing and said, "Wait. Where's Lily?"
"Oh, she's got a small cold, and Sasuke is taking care of her," Lori explained.
J.D. grimaced in sympathy. "Oh, man. That stinks. I hate it when people get sick."
Lincoln nodded in agreement. "Yeah. It's no fun."
Naruto smiled and said, "That's very nice of him. I'll have to tell him. Thank you when we get back."
Burpin' Burger.
Lori parks Vanzilla, and they proceeded to the promotion stand.
"Please welcome racing champion Bobbie Fletcher!" announced the announcer.
The crowd cheers as Bobbie's car drives onto the stage. She steps out and removes her helmet.
"Whoo-Hoo! Bobbie!" cheered J.D.
"Yes!" exclaimed Lana.
"There she is!" yelled Lola.
Bobbie waved to the crowd. "Thanks for coming out, racing fans! I want to give a huge thanks to my sponsor, Burpin' Burger. Let me tell you, you can't get past the starting line without quality fuel, and mine is right here." She raises a burger. "The Big Belcher with extra pickles." She bites into it.
Bobbie waved to the crowd. "Thanks for coming out, racing fans! I want to give a huge thanks to my sponsor, Burpin' Burger. Let me tell you, you can't get past the starting line without quality fuel, and mine is right here." She raises a burger. "The Big Belcher with extra pickles." She bites into it.
The crowd cheered some more.
"I can't wait to have one of you folks on my pit crew. All you have to do is find the burger wrapper that looks like this." She holds up the wrapper with tired tracks that read WINNER. "Ladies and gentlemen, start your stomachs!" She waves the green flag.
A horn blares, and the crowd rushes into the restaurant.
"Welcome to Burpin Burger," said an employee.
"We'd like 30 Big Belchers, please," Lana said.
"Okay, that'll be $50," the employee responded. "Wait, a minute. J.D. Knudson?"
J.D. replied, "That's right." He is wearing a fur parka that covers his head but exposes his face.
"Oh, wow!" exclaimed the employee. "You are a legend throughout Michigan and the United States. I almost didn't recognize you."
"I'm sorry," J.D. apologized. "It's freezing out there."
"That's fine," said the employee. "Heroes receive a discount. That'll be $25."
"Uh, don't worry, guys. I got this," Lana assured them. She digs through her pockets and pulls out a disgusting wad with some stuff stuck. "Let's see. My gum collection...banana peel...foot...ah, owl's here it is." She hands the employee a coupon.
The employee took the coupon and examined it. "Oh. One of our Kids Eats Free coupons. Great." He pauses for a moment. "Wait. Did you just say owl's foot?"
"Yeah! Isn't she a hoot?" Luan asked and then laughed.
J.D., Varie, Aylene, Riley, the Eds, Raven, and Terra laughed at her joke.
J.D. laughed and said, "Good one, Luan."
Raven laughed and said, "Hoot. I just got it."
The employee was unimpressed with the joke. "Next."
Everyone is waiting, and eventually, Lana then brings them their burgers.
"Oh boy," Laney said, "I love these burgers."
Lana nodded. "I know you do, Lanes. Alright, guys, dig in."
They all devour their burgers. Lana searches for the wrapper after they have finished, but none of them is the one.
"Sorry we didn't find the winning wrapper, Lana," Leni apologized.
"Yeah," Terra replied. "It's not here."
"Sorry Lana," J.D. apologized.
Hops wiped Lana's tears away with his tongue.
Lisa is looking out the window at the snow. "The frozen precipitation is accumulating rapidly. I suggest we skedaddle."
Lana started to panic and yelled, "Wait! Don't you guys want another round?"
Lynn was astonished and asked, "We can have seconds?"
Laney shrugged her shoulders. "Why not, I'm still hungry."
"Me too," J.D. agreed.
"I could go for another round," Varie explained.
"How are we gonna pay for it?" Lincoln asked.
Lana peeks out from behind the trash can and notices the coupon still protruding from the register. "Hops. Sticky snag."
With his tongue, Hops snags the coupon.
Lana grabbed it. "Bull's eye." She walks up to the counter. "I'll take more burgers, please. And I have another coupon." She hands it over to the employee.
The employee groans as the coupon becomes stuck in his hand. "Why is it so sticky?"
Lana and Hops exchange a wink. After another round of burgers, everyone looks nauseous from eating their seconds, except for J.D., Varie, Aylene, Laney, Starfire, and Lana. Lola belches.
"Ugh," Lana groaned. "Still nothing. We have to order more burgers!"
Laney remarked, "Lana, I think I've had enough."
Lisa cleared her throat and said, "Uh, in light of the worsening meteorological conditions..." She then burps. "...perhaps we should follow the lead of the other patrons and amscray."
The others are leaving.
A hefty blonde was complaining. "Come on. Hurry, hurry, hurry."
"I don't like the look of that sky," said an unknown woman.
Lana waved off their concern. "Oh, let them leave. That'll make our chances even better. Come on, you guys, one more round."
The others groaned with nausea.
"I can't eat anything else," Lincoln said, feeling queasy.
"I can't even joke about burgers right now," Luan said, nauseated.
"You don't have to eat 'em," Lana assured everyone. "Hops, and I will take them home for breakfast."
Hops burps and everyone else sighs (except Naruto, Fu, Starfire, Hinata, and Riley).
"Good thinking Lana," J.D. said. "I could use a little snack for down the road."
"Me too," Varie replied.
"Same here," Aylene replied.
"I'll take some home," Riley stated.
"Good thinking, Lana," Laney said.
Lana smiled. "Great. Be right back. Don't move," she says as she grabs Hops and steps on Leni's legs out of the booth, much to the surprise of the dumb blonde.
Lana is back behind the bin and the coupon is still sticking out. Hops fired his tongue again, but the employee placed a meal on the counter, causing his tongue to hide the shake dispenser, causing the shake to spill on the floor and the employee to slip and fall.
"Let's try that again, buddy," Lana suggested.
Hops' tongue lands on the coupon, but the employee grabs it.
The employee gave them an angry look. "Hey, you little sneak!" He ripped up the coupon. "If you want more burgers, you're going to have to pay for them!"
Lana became nervous. "Okay, um, not a prob." She gathered loose change from the booths, the potted plants, the ball pit, and under the table with some gum. She then pours the small change and some trash on the counter. "30 more burgers, please."
The employee was disgusted. "Jeez." He reached for one of the pieces of junk.
Lana quickly grabbed it. "Whoops. That's my chicken beak."
Disgusted, the employee takes the rest, deposits it in the register, and hands Lana the burgers. "Are you guys almost done? I want to get out of here. I rode my bike to work."
"Don't worry," Lana assured him. "We'll be leaving soon. I have a great feeling about this batch."
All of the wrappers have been removed.
Lincoln looked apologetic and said, "Sorry, Lana. I don't have it."
Luna shook her head. "Me neither, dude."
"It's not here either," Laney added.
Luan nodded in agreement. "Same here. I guess that's a wrap!" She then laughs and realizes the bad timing, and stops. "Oh. Sorry."
There is only one wrapper left. Lana opens it, and it's not the winner.
Lana was heartbroken. "Dang it. I guess I'm not going to be on Bobbie Fletcher's pit crew."
"Lana, is this the wrapper you're looking for?" J.D. asked.
He is holding the winning wrapper.
Lana became overjoyed. "J.D.! YOU FOUND IT! YOU FOUND IT!" She takes it from him and starts laughing.
Laney congratulated him. "All right, J.D.!"
"Finally," the employee exclaimed. He puts on his helmet and closes the counter.
Lana laughs some more. "Finding this wrapper means the world to me. Thanks for all your help, guys."
"No problem, Lana," J.D. replied.
"It was our pleasure," Varie said.
"I'm glad we could help," Aylene said.
Riley replied, "Me too."
"It was Glorius," Starfire exclaimed.
"I'm glad we could help, too," Raven said.
"Same here," Eddy replied.
"Glad to help, sis," Laney said.
Lynn clapped her hands together. "Alright, let's get home so I can let 'em rip in privacy."
Lucy gags. She then turned to Luna and Luan and asked, "Can I bunk with you guys tonight?"
They're getting ready to leave. Leni opens the door and walks into some white stuff, which causes everyone to gasp.
"Oops," Leni said. "This must be the closet where they keep their snow."
Lincoln facepalmed. "No, Leni. We're snowed in."
It is clear from the outside that they are trapped.
"The snow piled up really fast, and now we're trapped!" J.D. explained.
Luna groaned. "Aw, man. Are we going to be stuck here all night?"
The employee became devastated. "No! I just worked a 12-hour shift! I can't take another second in this greasy dungeon!"
He tries to cycle through the snow, but it's pointless. The kids drag him out and place him in a chair.
Luan apologizes. "Sorry, buddy, there's snow way out!" She then giggles.
The employee starts crying after hearing that.
J.D. had an idea and said, "Don't worry, guys. I got this. Stand back. Care to help, Lola?"
"You bet J.D.," Lola says as she spreads her fire wings.
"How about you, Starfire?" J.D. asked.
"It would be my pleasure," Starfire replied. Her wings are spread, and her eyes are glowing green.
"Let's fire it up!" J.D. exclaimed.
J.D. and Lola fired fire blasts, and Starfire used her laser vision to melt some of the snow and clear the doorway, clearing some of it.
"Let me help." Aylene fires a fire stream that hits the snow and clears the path.
The employee widened his eyes in awe. "Wow! You guys are incredible!"
"I know," Lori replied. "We get that a lot."
"This snow is still fresh," Lisa commented.
"Let me blow some of it away!" Naruto said.
Starfire, Aylene, Lola, and J.D. halt what they are doing.
"Go for it, little brother," J.D. advised.
"WIND STYLE: GREAT BREAKTHROUGH! Naruto unleashed a powerful gust of wind, blowing away some snow.
"Nice job, Naruto," Lori commented. "Let me help."
Lori spread her wings and fired a wind blast, blowing some of the snow away.
The employee was still in awe. Wow! You guys have lots of superpowers."
"We're all unique in our own way," Terra said.
Together, Terra and Lynn shape a rock into the shape of a snow shovel and clear the snow.
"Let me help out," Fu said.
"Go for it, Fu," Naruto advised.
"THUNDER FUNERAL: FEAST OF LIGHTNING!" Fu unleashed three lightning bolts, which melted the snow on contact.
"Good shot, Fu!" remarked J.D.
Raven and Lucy use their dark powers to move, melt, and blow the snow.
"Raven, you are incredible," Lucy exclaimed.
"Thank you, Lucy," Raven replied.
Laney uses her plant powers to create massive bulldozers that push the snow away.
"Good thinking, Laney," Crysta said.
"Thanks, Crysta," Laney replied.
"Allow me to light things up." Luan spread her yellow wings and fired a light beam, causing some of the snow to melt.
Eddy cheered, "Go, Luan!"
Edd took out a flashlight. "Drat! I left my Magnifying Glass at home!"
"Here, try this Double D," Lana said, pulling out a Magisword.
"MAGNIFYING GLASS MAGISWORD!" announced the announcer.
"Bless you, Lana," Edd uttered.
"You're also going to need a stronger flashlight. Here," Lana said, bringing out another Magisword.
"FLASHLIGHT MAGISWORD!" announced the announcer.
"Perfect." Edd held the Flashlight Magisword and shone the light into the Magnifying Glass Magisword, which focused the beam of light and created a powerful laser that melted all the snow on contact.
"That was pure genius, Lana," Edd exclaimed.
"Thanks, Double D," Lana said.
Lincoln nodded in agreement. "I admit it was. Linka, let's do this!"
"You got it," Linka remarked.
Lincoln and Linka spread their lightning wings and fired lightning at the snow, melting some of it.
"Let's help Ino!" Sakura said.
"You got it, Sakura!" replied Ino.
Sakura and Ino use Lady Tsunade's Super Strength to push the snow away by using an outdoor dining table as a plow.
"I've got this," Hinata said.
"Get 'em, Hinata!" Fu exclaimed.
"GENTLE FIST!" yelled Hinata.
She landed a Gentle Fist Strike, which blew away some snow.
"Nice job, Hinata," J.D. said.
They melt all of the snow in the area, revealing Vanzilla.
"We're free!" yelled J.D.
Now they're in Vanzilla.
"We literally did it, guys!" Lori exclaimed.
J.D. rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Aw. It was nothing."
Lola remarked, "Good thinking, J.D."
J.D. replied, "Thank you.
"We sure did a good job, huh? Varie remarked.
"You said it, Varie," Ed agreed.
Edd agreed. "I concur."
"This was awesome, guys!" Eddy exclaimed.
"We all pulled together and got out," Laney explained.
Lori attempts to start the engine, but it does not start.
Lana frowned. "Hmm...better check the engine block." She raised the hood. "Of Ice?"
The others groaned.
"This engine is completely frozen solid," J.D. explained.
Lori groans as she looks at her phone. "There's no signal here! I'm going to warm up inside and use the landline!"
"Don't worry guys, we got this," Lola remarked.
J.D. and Lola used their fire powers to thaw the engine.
"Lori!" yelled Lola. "The engine's thawed out!"
Lori gets in and starts Vanzilla.
"It works again!" Lori exclaimed with joy.
They were all cheering as they drove down the road home when they noticed a car broke down on the side of the road, and the driver was none other than Bobbie Fletcher.
"Wait!" yelled Lana. "That's Bobbie Fletcher! Stop, guys! We have to help her!"
"Let's go," J.D. said, and they drove back.
"Excuse me, Ms. Fletcher?" Lana asked. "What happened?"
"The engine died," Bobbie explained. "She can hit 210 in the straightaway, but throw some snow at her, and she conks out."
Lana examined the engine. "Mind if I-"
"It's all yours," Bobbie stated.
Lana is repairing the engine. "See if she'll turn over now."
Bobbie gives it a shot, and it works.
Bobbie was impressed. "Dang. My pit crew isn't even that fast. What's your name, sport?"
"Lana Loud," Lana said proudly.
Bobbie smiled. "Well, thank you, Lana Loud." She gave Lana her business card. "Give me a call when you're 18. I could use someone like you on my team. Congratulations on winning the contest. Hold onto that when you're 18. You're going far."
Lana grinned at her. "Wow! Thanks! I will!"
Her siblings cheered happily for her.
Lori congratulated Lana. "Way to go, Lana."
"That's our little handyman," J.D. said proudly. "She has lots of talent."
"Thanks for all your help, guys," Bobbie said. "You guys are amazing with those powers. I saw you guys melting the snow. It was awesome."
J.D. responded, "Thank you, Ms. Fletcher."
"I'm glad we were able to help get everyone out of the snow," Varie said.
"Me too," Aylene replied.
"You're welcome," Bobbie responded. "See you next race."
"Go burn some rubber!" J.D. yelled.
Bobbie nodded. "I will."
Bobbie zooms off in her car.
They all cheered for her as she raced off.
When they return home, they relax by the fireplace while sipping hot cocoa. J.D. is drinking hot tea with Lola and Sakura.
"This was an incredible winter experience," J.D. said.
"You said it," Varie agreed.
"This was an adventure all on its own," Jessie said.
"No kidding, Jessie," Aylene replied.
"The best part was that Lana got a job offer on Bobbie Fletcher's Pit Crew," Riley explained. "She is going to rock NASCAR."
Lana nodded in agreement. "You said it, guys. Thanks for all your help."
"It was our pleasure," J.D. replied.
"You said it," Laney said, winking at the camera as it came in.
THE END.
