At the estate, Lincoln is on the couch in the living room with Charles, eating blueberries. Homer Simpson is sitting on the sofa with him. He tosses one up and catches it in his mouth.

Homer: (Laughs) That's a good trick Lincoln.

Lincoln: Thanks Homer.

I came in and I had a platter full of delicious rib sandwiches.

Me: Hey guys. Try my Rib-Wiches. I made them from the recipes of Krusty Burger.

Lincoln: Those look delicious.

Me: Thanks Lincoln. Before we blew up Springfield, I swiped the recipes of how they make all their burgers, sandwiches and food and modified them so that they don't use bad chemicals and only use natural ingredients.

Lincoln: That's clever.

Homer: It's good to have this again. But I thought it was lost forever.

Me: Yes, it was made from a type of cow that was now extinct. But I modified it to be made with real 100% sirloin beef and my own herbs and spices.

Lincoln: Ooh.

They tried them and Homer was in heaven! Same with Lincoln. When the platter was cleaned up they were drooling uncontrollably and jittering.

Me: Boy you guys loved them.

Homer: They are just like the ones that were served at Krusty Burger!

Lincoln: I have eaten the ribs of God!

Homer: (Laughs) That's exactly what I said when I tried them Lincoln.

Me: (Laughs) You guys were sure hungry. I'm going to make these a permanent addition to Mr. Lynn's restaurant. McDonalds doesn't get the McRib sandwich in very often, so I'm going to add these to the menu as a permanent item.

Lincoln: That's cool J.D.!

Then someone knocks on the door, making him fall behind the couch.

Leni: [Upstairs] "Can someone get that?"

Lisa: [Also upstairs] "Who's at the door?"

Lola: [Also upstairs] (Older Voice) "Ugh! Lincoln!"

Lincoln: [Gets up] "Okay, okay, alright." [His sisters upstairs keep nagging at him to get the door.] "I'm going!"

Me: We'll get that girls!

[He opens the door, and sees a frantic Clyde.]

Clyde: "Lincoln!"

Me: Hey Clyde.

Lincoln: "Hey Clyde, what's-"

Clyde: [Briskly walks in] "No time for small talk, Lincoln."

Laney: What's wrong Clyde?

Me: Yeah what's going on?

[Lincoln follows Clyde to the kitchen, where he dumps three boxes from his bag onto the counter.]

Lincoln: [As Clyde opens the boxes.] "Clyde, what's going on?" [Looks at the empty boxes, as Clyde takes the contents.] "'Frosty Farm's Frozen Feasts'?"

Me: I've heard about these. They are tasty.

Clyde: [Preparing the microwavable meals.] "We have a big problem."

Lincoln: "I'll say, your dads bought frozen dinners? Is everything okay at home?"

Clyde: [With the meals] "Oh, yeah, we're just eating these until their vintage stove arrives from Italy. But that's besides the point!"

Lincoln: "So, what is the-" [Clyde shoves hot mac 'n' cheese bites in Lincoln's mouth, Lincoln fans it off.] "Okay, that was hot and-" [Then Clyde shoves hot lasagna into Lincoln's mouth.] "Ah, really Clyde, why are you-" [Then hot Salisbury steak, Lincoln fans his mouth and finally swallows.]

Clyde: "Well? Well? Taste anything familiar?"

Lincoln: "Hmm, this lasagna kind of tastes like my dad's, and so do the mac 'n' cheese bites, and the Salisbury steak; how is that possible? Wait, [gasps] did someone steal my dad's recipes?"

Clyde: "What other explanation could there be? When I tasted these, I flipped out!"

Me: Let me see here.

I tasted them and notice the same tastes.

Me: Yeah. These definitely taste a lot like Mr. Lynn's cooking.

Laney tasted them.

Laney: You're right J.D.

Lincoln: [Goes to the fridge] "Okay, before I flip out too, let's be a hundred percent sure." [Opens the fridge door and grabs his leftovers from the fridge.] "Grab those frozen dinners and follow me!"

Me: Lets go see.

[In Lisa's room, she calibrates a device, which opens a panel, and slowly ejects a tray.]

Lisa: "Place your samples here, gentlemen."

[The boys nervously do so.]

Me: This is a very spiffy device Lisa.

Lisa: Thank you.

Lincoln: "Should we be wearing goggles too?"

Lisa: "Uh, no, these are just for dramatic effect. I built this chemical analyzer with grant money from the Norwegian government, it'll break down the ingredients in both Dad's leftovers, and the frozen meals in question." [The machine prints a sheet of paper.] "Hmm, fascinating, a one-hundred percent match, right down to Father's secret ingredient in the mac 'n' cheese bites."

Lincoln: "A dash of caramel?"

Lisa: "Affirmative, it's a rather clever bit of food science, the sweet brings out the salty." [Smacks her lips]

Me: That is a clever method. But how is that possible? Mr. Lynn keeps all his recipes secret. (Gasp) You don't think that Ophelia Shroud finally stole his recipes!?

Clyde: That could be possible.

Lincoln: "So someone really did steal my dad's recipes. But I don't think it was Ophelia Shroud. But we'll ask her anyway. Looks like this is a case for..."

[The boys change their regular clothes into their Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack cosplays. With a yellow background having the One-Eyed Jack and Ace Savvy logos.]

Lincoln and Clyde: "One-Eyed Jack and Ace Savvy!"

Me: And lets help out too. Looks like we got a real mystery on our hands.

Laney: Ooh! I love mysteries! It's like with John Ruby!

Laney went back to her room and came back dressed in Sherlock Holmes clothes.

Laney: Time for some sleuthing.

[Cuts back to Lisa's room.]

Lisa: "Do you wear those under your clothes everyday just waiting for an opportunity such as this?"

Clyde: [Pulling on his eyepatch] "You bet your Norwegian grant money we do!"

[His eyepatch snaps back and he falls to the ground.]

Me: Careful Clyde. But first Laney you'll need this.

I spun my Magisword bracelet and pulled out a Magisword.

Announcer: MAGNIFYING GLASS MAGISWORD!

I hand it to her.

Laney: Thanks J.D.

Me: No problem. First lets go talk to Mr. Lynn and find out what happened.

Maria: We'll come with you guys.

Me: Okay Maria.

[At Lynn's table, he's prepping some meatballs.]

Lynn Sr.: [Singing to himself] " Hey, workin' in the kitchen, singin' this ditty, mixin' up meatballs, for my... spaghetti " [Thinks if that was any good.] "Eh, that works." [Just then, Ace and Jack enter.] "Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack! Grab a seat, at Lynn's Table, crimefighters eat free."

Lincoln: "Thanks Dad, but right now, the only appetite we have, is for justice!"

[The boys do some fighting moves.]

Lynn Sr.: "Ooh, on the job, eh, huh? Who are you solving a case for today?"

Lincoln: "Umm, you."

Lynn Sr.: [Confused] "I'm sorry, what's that?"

Me: It's a strange story Mr. Lynn.

Clyde: [Holding a frozen dinner box.] "We think someone stole your recipes, and sold them to Frosty Farm's Frozen Feasts."

Lincoln: [Takes out the lab report.] "We've got the chemical analysis to prove it."

Lynn Sr.: [Looks at the analysis] "Woah, woah, woah, how could that be?" [Goes over to the shelves.] "My recipe book is right here on the shelf, next to all the jars I need Lynn Jr. to open for me." [Realizes that the book isn't there.] "Wait a minute, where? Where is it?" [Throws things off the shelves, muttering to himself.] "It's gone," [Breaks down] "My book! My precious book is gone!"

Clyde: [With a notepad.] "Can you describe it for us?"

Lynn Sr.: [Gasps] "It contains all the recipes I've ever learned! Starting with, my first, home-ed class, in mi- in mi- in mi- in middle school." [Presses his face to the floor.]

Me: It's all right Mr. Lynn. Can you give us a description of the book?

Lincoln: "Yeah Dad, just tell us what it looks like."

Lynn Sr.: "Oh, right, uh, well it's a- it's a black book, with food stains on the cover, and property of Lynn Loud written inside." [Looks at his back pocket.] "Ooh, ooh, hang on, hang on," [takes something out.] "this is us, last Thanksgiving." [Gives Lincoln the photo.] "I miss her so much!

I write down the description on a notepad.

Lincoln: "Don't worry Dad, we're on the case." [Runs off] "We won't fold 'til we find the thief."

Clyde: "And then we'll be cashing in on that free meal, save me some of that spagh-itti."

[Clyde follows Lincoln, while Lynn Sr. cries on the floor. The boys pace around in front of the restaurant.]

Maria: Who do you think might've taken Mr. Lynn's book?

William: It couldn't have been any of the Legion of Doom. None of them can cook great. No offense Claire.

Volcana: None taken William. But yeah, I am a terrible cook. I always burn everything.

William: So it must be someone in Gotham Royal York.

Me: That's a good assumption.

Lincoln: "Okay guys, we know the book was kept in the restaurant kitchen; who had access?"

Me: Besides Mr. Lynn, it must be the employees.

Clyde: [Draws some cards] "Just the employees;" [his hand has three playing cards with drawings of the restaurant's three employees taped to the front.] "Grant, Kotaro, and your dad, and we know it's not your dad." [Removes that card]

Me: No it's his book that we're looking for. William, you head back to the estate and get the entire Redemption Squad to help out.

William: Yes sir.

William and Maria went back to the estate.

Lincoln: [Takes the remaining two cards.] "Than we have our suspects, looks like it's time to serve up some justice."

Clyde: "Ooh, [Gives two thumbs-ups] nice restaurant themed pun."

[The boys head off, and the card with Kotaro spins onto the screen.]

[Kotaro is at an ATM machine, when Ace and Jack startle him.]

Lincoln: "Hello, Kotaro."

Kotaro: [Sighs] "Hi boys, what are you doing here?"

Me: Hey Kotaro.

Clyde: "We'll ask the questions if you don't mind," [Regarding the ATM screen.] "you sure have a lot of money in your account, care to explain how you acquired it." [Makes a face]

Kotaro: "Not really."

Lincoln: "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

Clyde: "Psst, Lincoln, I only know the easy way."

Kotaro: [Sighs] "Fine, my great aunt passed away, and left me the money."

Me: Oh no. I'm so sorry Kotaro.

Laney: We're sorry about your aunt Kotaro.

[Kotaro was gonna cry when Lucy pops up and scares all of them, making Lincoln jump into Clyde's arms.]

Lucy: "Hi Kotaro, I hope you were happy with the memorial service."

Kotaro: [Makes his withdraw] "I was, thank you Lucy." [Gives Lucy the money.] "Your eulogy really captured her inner beauty."

[Lucy escorts him away, and Ace and Jack look on with remorse.]

Lincoln: "Uh, we're sorry for your loss!"

Clyde: "We should really send flowers."

Laney: Good idea Clyde.

Me: But you have our sympathies!

[The card with Grant spins onto the screen.]

[Grant is bicycling along, when Ace and Jack catch up with him on the tandem bike, I was riding my Rapidash and Laney was flying.]

Lincoln: "Hey Grant, is that a new bike? Sure looks expensive."

Grant: "Oh yeah, it was a-"

Clyde: "Yeah, and those sneakers; are they new too?"

Grant: "Yeah."

Me: Those are nice.

[Lincoln and Clyde begin to grow suspicious.]

Clyde: "Must've cost a pretty penny."

Lincoln: "Where'd you get the money to pay for them?" [Angry] "By selling my dad's recipe book to Frosty Farms Frozen Feast!?"

Grant: "These were gifts from my parents, my birthday was on Saturday."

Me: Oh wow. Happy late birthday.

Grant: Thank you J.D. You guys were at the restaurant when Mr. Loud brought out a cake and everyone sang to me.

Me: I wasn't there. Sorry. I was out helping people down from a burning building.

Laney: I was there. Good food.

Clyde: [Remembering] "Oh, right! It has his famous cream cheese frosting, and a dash of caramel sauce! You know, I'm sensing a theme there. Sorry, Grant."

Grant: "It's okay." [Notices something up ahead.] "Car."

Lincoln "What?"

[Lincoln and Clyde hit the parked car as they fly off the bicycle. Me and Laney grabbed them.]

Me: You two okay?

Lincoln: Yeah thanks.

Back at the estate, William and Maria gathered everyone on the Redemption Squad together.

William and Maria were in front of Livewire, Bai Tza, Shego, Amorpho, Breach, Poison Ivy, Leanbow, Venom, Teresa, Shockwave, Silver Banshee, and Stone Man.

Maria: Listen up. Mr. Lynn's book of recipes has been stolen.

Amorpho: Who would do such a thing?

Silver Banshee: (Scottish Accent) It couldn't have been Grodd or any of my former teammates lads. They aren't interested in cooking.

William: Me and Maria were just thinking that. Anyway, we need you guys to go out into the city and see if you can find it.

Lilo: Finder, do you think you can find Mr. Lynn's recipe book?

Finder squeaked.

Jack Spicer then came in.

Jack Spicer: Hey guys.

Miranda: Hey Jack. Have you seen Mr. Lynn's book?

Jack Spicer: Sorry, guys. I haven't seen Lynn Sr's book. But I can help out on my end.

William: Okay. Lets go find his book.

Later, we are now sitting in front of the restaurant.

Lincoln: [As he takes a banana peel off his shoulder and tosses it away.] "Well Jack, it looks like our investigation has run dry. I don't know who else could've stole my dad's recipe book to Frosty Farms' Frozen Feast."

Me: Ophelia Shroud is clean. We asked her and she didn't take it.

Clyde: "Maybe no one sold it to them. Maybe they just stole it. [Takes one of the dinner boxes out of his backpack.] I mean, if the company's right here in Gotham Royal York."

Lincoln: [Gets up] "You're right! Maybe someone who works there ate dinner here and liked the food so much, he stole the recipe book for his company."

Me: That's just what I was thinking!

Clyde: [Also gets up] "Exactly! To Frosty Farm's Frozen Feast headquarters! Time to cook this thief's goose.

Me: Lets get him!

Lincoln: "Ooh, [gives a thumbs-up] nice restaurant themed pun."

Laney: That was really clever.

[They dash off. Later, they arrive at the Frosty Farms headquarters via tandem bike. The boys flip inside and at the receptionist desk.]

Clyde: "Greetings citizen, my partner and I are conducting an investigation into frozen food fraud."

Lincoln: "We're going to need a conference room to interrogate all your employees, and a bright light to shine in their faces."

[The two get thrown out and they hit the flagpole, sliding down.]

Me: Let me handle this.

We walked into the building.

Receptionist: J.D. Knudson of Team Loud Phoenix Storm!

Me: Good afternoon sir. We're investigating suspicions of food fraud. Team Loud Phoenix Storm business. These three are with me.

The receptionist saw Lincoln, Laney and Clyde.

Receptionist: Oh gosh! I'm so sorry, I didn't know. Go on into the kitchen.

Me: It's all right. But thank you.

We went into the building.

Me: We're in.

We smelled something good in the air.

Clyde: [Sniffs] "Smell that Ace?"

Lincoln: [Sniffs] "Sautéd onion? Breadcrumbs? A touch of sage? My dad's meatloaf!"

Laney: That is dad's meatloaf.

Clyde: "Follow that warm and comforting scent!"

[We follow the scent and find that it's coming from a room at the end of the hall. We peek through one of the windows and find an elderly woman mixing in a bowl, and the recipe book is right there.]

Lincoln: "My dad's recipe book. [To Clyde] I think we found our thief."

Me: Bingo.

Clyde: "Time to turn up the heat in this kitchen."

Lincoln: [Kicks the doors open and he and Clyde enter.] "Freeze, recipe thief!"

Me: Hold it right there!

Mildred: [Startled] "Heavens to baked Alaska, you boys gave me quite the start."

Me: Team Loud Phoenix Storm, reach for the sky lady.

Clyde: "Drop the spatula, lady, [She drops the spatula] you're busted!"

Lincoln: "We know you stole that recipe book!"

Mildred: [Looks at the book] "What? [Now stern] That's just crazy as two boys wearing pajamas in the middle of the day. [Grabs the book] I've had this cookbook for decades."

Lincoln: [Doubting] "Oh, really? [Takes the cookbook out of her hand.] Then how come the name on the inside cover says, "Mildred Scalise". [Realizes] "Wait, who's that?"

Me: So you are Mildred Scalise.

Mildred: "That's me, I told you that recipe book is mine. [Points over to a framed photo of a young Mildred with her recipe book outside Frosty Farms.] I used it to create this company."

Me: Wow.

Laney: That's amazing.

Lincoln: [He and Clyde flip through the pages.] "But these recipes are the same as my dad's. [Turns to Mildred] He used them to create his restaurant."

Mildred: "Well, it sounds like your dad stole the recipes from me. You better take me to meet him."

[We gulp nervously.]

Me: This is not gonna end well.

[Back at Lynn's Table, Lynn Sr. is sitting near a potato sack, still sad, peeling the skin off one of the potatoes.]

What a baby.

Lynn Sr.: [Singing to himself] " In the kitchen, with so much to cook, but I feel lost, without my book. "

Lincoln: [As he and Clyde run in.] "Dad!"

Me: Mr. Lynn!

Lynn Sr.: "Oh, Ace, Jack," [An angry Mildred steps in the door, Lynn Sr. gets serious.] "Is this the thief who stole my recipe book?"

Mildred: "Who are you callin' thief? Thief!"

[The boys get scared.]

Me: Uh oh.

Lynn Sr.: "I should call the FBI!"

Mildred: "Go ahead, you're the one who's going to the clink!" [Suddenly they recognize each other.] "Wait, is that you Lynn Loud?"

Lynn Sr.: [Gasps] "Ms. Scalise?"

Lincoln: "Wait, you two know each other?"

Lynn Sr.: [Rather excited] "Yes! Ms. Scalise is my old middle school home-ed teacher, she, she taught me everything I know about cooking."

Mildred: "Oh, now Lynn, There's a lot we learned from each other."

[Flashback to middle school, when they were younger.]

Lynn Sr.: "We would experiment on recipes, creating new twist on all sorts of old favorites."

[A dash of caramel accidentally falls into the pot.]

Young Lynn Sr.: "Oh no! I knocked caramel sauce into the mac 'n' cheese, it's ruined!"

Young Mildred: "Now, wait a second Lynn." [Tastes] "Hmm, oh, it's delicious, the sweet brings out the salty."

[Lynn's pupils turn to stars, when the principal comes on the PA.]

Principal: "Will Flip please report to the principal's office? Again."

Young Flip: [Runs into the room] "Mind if I lay low here a while?"

Teacher: "Get back here Flip!"

[Flip ducks under the sink, while some teachers run past the room.]

Young Flip: [Sigh of relief] "Thanks Ms. S."

[He closes the cabinet. At the end of the day, Mildred is writing in a black book.]

Mildred: "After every new dish we created, I would write the recipe down in a black notebook, so I wouldn't forget it."

[Young Lynn is then shown in his room doing the same thing.]

Lynn Sr.: [Gasps] "I did the same thing."

[End of flashback]

Me: Wow! Ms. Scalise, I didn't know you were Mr. Lynn's Home-Ed teacher.

Mildred: "Yep. We did great things together. So there was no recipe theft after all."

Lynn Sr.: "We created them together, and I say we continue to share them; well I think Lynn's Table and Frosty Farm's Frozen Feasts can co-exist."

Mildred: "Oh, I'd like that too, in fact, since you lost your book, you're welcome to borrow mine anytime."

Lynn Sr.: [Touched] "Awe, thanks Ms. S." [Grabs some chef hats.] "Now what do you say we celebrate by creating something new together."

Mildred: "Oh, just point me to the caramel sauce."

[The two go.]

Clyde: "Well Ace, looks like we solved another tricky case."

[The boys high five.]

Me: Yeah we sure did.

Laney: Who would've thought that dads Home-Ed teacher would work with the same recipes dad uses?

Lincoln: "Yeah, but there's still one mystery; what happened to my dad's recipe book?"

[Meanwhile, at the Royal Woods Library, Leni tosses three books onto the counter.]

Leni: "I'd like to return these please."

Lola: [Flies up to Leni] "Leni! Stop! Those aren't library books! There's Dad's cookbook, Lucy's poetry book," [aggrivated] "and my diary! Didn't you see the glitter trail?"

[Lola points to said glitter trail.]

Leni: "Oh, whoops, I was just trying to be helpful."

Lola: "Grab the books and lets fly."

A Portal from Breach appeared.

Lola: Hey Breach.

Breach: Hey Lola. Leni, that's Mr. Lynn's cookbook.

Lola: We know. She was gonna turn them in at the library.

Breach: Really?

WHOOPS!

In another part of the town, everyone else was searching.

William: Anyone have any luck?

Maria: Not yet.

Breach: (On the radio) Breach calling William. Do you copy?

William: William Dunbar here. Go ahead Hailey.

Breach: Guys, I found the book. But you won't believe who has it.

William: Who has it?

Breach: It's Leni. She was going to turn it in at the Library along with Lucy's Poetry Book and Lola's diary because she thought they were overdue Library Books.

William: Leni? Oh boy. We're on our way.

They got over to the library.

Livewire: We had to see it to believe it.

Leni: Sorry, guys. I thought it was an overdue book so I was going to turn it in at the library.

Bai Tza: It's ok, Leni. You didn't know. But we better get the boss on the horn.

William: Right Bai Tza. William to J.D. William to J.D.

Me: (On the radio) J.D. here William.

William: We found the book. Leni had it and she thought it was an overdue Library book.

Me: Leni had it? Oh Leni. We're on our way William.

We went to the Library. We arrived and we saw Leni with the book.

Me: Hey guys. Good work. Leni, this was a misunderstanding. You didn't know that this book was your dads.

Leni: I know. I'm sorry.

Me: It's not your fault Leni.

We went back to Lynn's Table and told Lynn Sr. what happened.

Lynn Sr.: So Leni had my cookbook?

Me: Yeah. She thought it was an overdue Library book and she was gonna turn it in at the library. She didn't know it was your book.

Leni: Yeah. I'm sorry dad. I had no idea.

Lynn Sr.: Aw sweetie, you were just doing what you thought was right. I'm proud of you. But you're grounded for 2 days.

Leni: I understand.

Lynn Sr.: Good. Thank you all for helping me out.

Me: Anytime Mr. Lynn.

Shego: Thanks for the help, Jack. Now, you should get out of here before Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay, and Omi get here.

Jack Spicer: Gotcha! I'll be there next time you need me. (leaves)

Amorpho: (sees Spicer leave) Poor kid.

Lynn Sr.: But J.D. your Rib-wiches are a perfect idea for my restaurant.

Me: Thanks Mr. Lynn. Before we blew up Springfield, I took all of the recipes from the Krusty Burger and modified them. Instead of using harsh chemicals and a lot of additives, we're gonna use them with all natural ingredients.

Lynn Sr.: Well that's a good idea! Thank you J.D.

Me: No problem.

We went back to the estate and everything was good.

Raimundo: Glad to see that Mr. Lynn's recipe book is safe.

Kimiko: Did anything else happen?

Maria: (remembers to keep Spicer's involvement a secret) Not much.

THE END


Another Fanfiction complete and another mystery solved.

Recipe For Disaster aired earlier this year and it was a really good episode. But Leni is a funny girl. She may be ditzy and have a brain the size of a walnut, but she has a heart of gold. But what really surprised me is that Mr. Lynn's Home-Ed teacher has another book like his and they are now partners. I got the idea for making ribwiches for everyone from The Simpsons episode of Season 14 from 2003 "I'm Spelling As Fast As I Can". That was really funny. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks man. Let me Know what you all think. Next up is the 2nd Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Chapter and we're gonna face the Fire Ghost! Get ready for an adventure that burns!

See you all next time.
