R.A. and Rita successfully got back to the Loud House after escaping Macy's hideout. They entered to see the oldest Loud siblings, Leni, Luna, Luan, L.J., and Lincoln, sitting on the couch, waiting for them...
Rita: We escaped Macy's hideout!
When The 5 Loud siblings saw them, they were all happy, and then came over to hug both of them. After that, they saw the uniform that Rita was wearing, and were surprised...
Leni: Wow, Mom, you went all out.
The younger Louds, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lily, along with Lynn Sr., came out from the kitchen, and into the living room, where they saw that Rita and R.A. came back...
Rita: We now have to think about to do about Macy's grudge against me.
R.A.: We'll have to move on and show Macy that this was your fault, Mrs. Loud.
Lincoln: Everyone, we need all of you to join me, Mom, and Ronnie Anne, into going back to the hideout again.
Rita and R.A. were shocked when they heard that.
L.J.: You'll certainly need our help with Macy.
Lola: Yeah, you two may need us as backup!
L.S. I'll stand guard here, in case anyone comes by.
Rita, R.A., and the Loud siblings went into town...
Lincoln: I hope this plan will work.
Rita: I hope so, too.
While everyone was walking down the sidewalk, they suddenly spotted Macy, standing in front of them...
Macy: (nervously) Uh, hello?
Luna: Macy, what are you doing our here?
Macy: I'm looking for my crew.
Cut to Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet, where Macy's crew of Raul, Bosky, and Claire, were still trying to find Rita. They checked the whole restaurant, and out back. Soon, they gave up after a while, and they were disappointed...
Raul: We can't find her.
Bosky: Rita must have already left.
Claire groaned, as they walked out of the restaurant. Cut back to Macy and the Loud family in town...
Luna: Macy, we would like to try and explain everything.
Macy: (with a suspicious look) I'm listening.
Lincoln: Let's get back to the Loud House. We'd like to show you something.
Cut to the Loud House, where Macy and the Loud family are currently at...
Lincoln gets out his film projector, and stands in front of the TV.
Lincoln: We're going to you what we want you to see Macy. This will show pictures of the real deal. How things Really went on those school days.
He turned on the projector, and a video of the younger Macy was shown. She was looking at blueprints she had of how she was going to plan her future hangout. When Macy walked away for a bit, the younger Rita looked at Macy's blueprints. She saw how Macy's playhouse was going to be built, (A hillside, with green grass on it, and a steep walk to the top) and was inspired by it...
Younger Rita: (happily) Wow, Macy's planned it out really well. I wonder if I should start make a hangout as good as that!
In the living room...
Macy: Rita, you were inspired by me?
Rita: Yeah, I remember that I liked the hangout you were building, and it made me want to start my own.
In the video...
Younger Rita: I should start my own playhouse!
She ran off, while Macy, still watching the video, was amazed by what she was hearing...
Macy: I never knew that.
The younger Rita stopped for a moment, and looked at the younger Macy...
Younger Rita: Macy, do you what to see where I'm planning to build my playhouse?
The younger Macy nodded, and they both walked off-screen, literally.
Macy: Well, this is interesting.
In the video, the younger Rita and younger Macy then appeared again, now shown to go inside a pipe that was going to the entrance for the planned playhouse the younger Rita was planning to build...
Macy: I remember now, I had gotten the idea from Rita to build my own hangout, and I didn't realize it.
The younger Macy and younger Rita were now crawling inside the pipe, and everyone was seeing how Rita's behind looked back then...
Leni: Wow, you were big, Mom.
L.J.: I wonder what happened.
Rita wondered why she already had a large behind when she was a kid. Soon, she shrugged it off and continued to watch the video.
The two younger kids were now past the pipe, and at a hole in the mountain, where the younger Rita had some essentials there. The younger Macy got a good look as they were in the hole.
Younger Macy: This looks great, Rita.
Younger Rita: Thank you, Macy.
They started to check out the playhouse's stuff. These included pictures of a younger Rita, with some having her childhood friends on them as well. Additionally, there was a small pink table, with small red chairs, along with a blue line in the middle of the table. and a mini fridge.
Younger Rita: Let's sort these out!
First, the younger Rita and younger Macy put the table in the middle of the room. Then they looked it over, and agreed that it was a perfect fit. Then,
they put the chairs at the table, with the younger Macy putting chairs on the left side, and the younger Rita putting chairs on the right side. Then
they each sat on one of the chairs, and looked at the view outside...
Younger Macy: What is your playhouse going to look like, Rita?
Younger Rita: It's definitely will be interesting. I'm thinking of putting it at this hole in the mountain.
Younger Macy: I'm putting my hangout at that hillside.
Younger Rita: I think my playhouse will be the better one.
Younger Macy: My hangout will be the better one.
The younger Rita now became angry at the younger Macy, who was also angry...
Younger Rita: No, it's my playhouse that would be the best choice!
Younger Macy: It will be my hangout that's the better place!
For the next few minutes, the Loud family saw their fight on the video go back and forth. They were all surprised that they could work out a compromise. Soon, they watched a final argument from the younger Macy and younger Rita about who's hangout would be better than the other's, and saw them both get up and walk off. The video ended. Macy and Rita then remembered everything...
Macy: Wow, I started that fight because I was upset that you would better hangout. And it looked like it was, because all the kids in our class came to your place, and didn't think about visiting mine.
Leni: Mom never meant to do that intentionally.
Rita: Macy, I didn't know that I made everyone in our class avoid you like that, and I'm really sorry.
Macy suddenly had a changed feeling... of happiness, and had a small smile. She then turned to Rita...
Macy: Rita...
Rita then turned to face Macy...
Macy: We should do what we can to repair our relationship.
Rita: I agree.
Macy and Rita hugged each other, which touched the Loud family and R.A.. They were all happy that they were trying to make up.
Macy: Well, I better go find my crew.
R.A.: Oh, I told them to find Mrs. Loud at Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet.
Leni: We'll help you find them.
Macy: Thank you. Let's go.
Macy, R.A., and the Loud family went into town, and headed for Jean Juan's.
But then they got there, they couldn't find Raul, Bosky, or Claire there.
Macy: They must have went back to my hangout.
Rita: Let's head over there.
Everyone started going over there, where Raul, Bosky, and Claire were standing outside Macy's hangout...
Raul: I wonder if Rita came back here to snoop around.
Bosky: Hey, look who's coming over here!
The trio saw Macy coming back with R.A. and the Loud family, and they were surprised to see Macy and Rita happy together. Raul, Bosky, and Claire went up to them. Claire went to grab Rita, but Rita stopped them...
Macy: Wait, guys! We made up, thanks to the Loud family's help.
Macy's gang was surprised by this at first, but were soon happy that their leader got over her grudge.
Macy: We need to apologize to Rita.
Raul, Bosky, and Claire turned to Rita...
Claire: We're sorry for how we treated you, Rita.
Raul: Yes, we are.
Bosky: (nodded) Very much so.
Rita: Well, that's a start.
Everyone was now at Macy's playhouse. Lincoln, Leni, Luan, Luan, and L.J., went in there to check it out, with Macy right alongside them. The oldest Loud siblings looked around the playhouse, and after checking it out inside, they spoke what they thought of it...
Luna: It's cool if you look at it in a different way.
Everyone was in the main room, in which it looked like an office, with 4 white chairs, a brown table, and a black desk.
Lincoln: You could do important work in there.
Macy: I actually knew that.
Macy and the oldest Loud siblings went back outside. She then turned to them...
Macy: Thank you all for liking my playhouse.
The 5 Louds nodded...
Lincoln: You're welcome, Macy.
Leni: Yeah, no problem.
Luna: It was okay.
Luan: It was our pleasure.
L.J.: The main room's great.
Rita and Macy turned to look at each other...
Macy: I think we should start to actually repair our relationship.
Rita: I agree.
The two women thought of an idea on how to do that: they would fix up Rita playhouse, by making the hole to the entrance bigger so that everyone would get inside much easier.
Luna was using a hammer and nail to help break the rock wall off, while Lana was using brown rock plaster to seal it. The hole was twice as big, and easier to get inside. Then Leni helped measured the hole, L.J. built a circle around it, and then Luan installed a brown wooden-circled door onto the hole. After it was done, the younger Loud sisters, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily volunteered to go inside Rita's playhouse. Lola checked out the mini fridge, which was full of food: bags of chips, snack cakes, and cans of soda.
Lola: Hey, this fridge is full of food!
Lisa and Lana, who were checking out the table, while Lucy was looking at the chairs, came over to Lola...
Lana: (excited) Wow, really!
Lola nodded.
Lisa: Well, I think this food could spoil if it's left alone too long.
Lola: Right, let's each finish up this food. Mom wouldn't want it to go waste.
Lola took a bag of Lay's sour cream and onion original potato chips, a cinnamon roll, and a can of diet cola. Lisa had a bag of Lay's original potato chips, a pair of Swiss cake rolls, and a can of cola, Lana had a bag Fritos original corn chips and chocolate creme cupcakes, and a can of grape soda, and Lucy had a bag of Doritos nacho cheese chips with peanut butter nutty bars, and a cup of ginger ale. They all sat at the table, and ate the snacks. After they finished, they look at the chairs and table one more time, then they went back outside to rejoin the others...
Lola: Mom, how did you end up getting more food for your mini fridge, during your battle with Macy?
Rita: I did have time to go shopping during all this time.
Lola: When did you get this food?
Rita: Yesterday.
Everyone looked at each other, with the Louds and R.A. wondering what else they could do to help Rita and Macy. The two women then spoke up...
Macy: Maybe we should start hanging out again.
Rita: I think that's a good idea, Macy.
This is the next part of the chapter:
They decided to do some outdoor activities together...
Rita: Macy, how about we do some bird watching?
Macy: I'll try that.
Rita and Macy were joined by Lola and Lana to go bird watching in a grassy area in the forest. The four of them, used their binoculars to find different kinds of birds. Lola and Lana were the first to spot birds...
Lola: (excited) I see a blue jay!
Lana: So do I!
The four of them soon saw that there were 2 blue jays flying around the area...
Macy: Wow, there's 2 of the same type of bird.
Rita: (nods) I know.
Soon, Macy saw a bird...
Macy: Look, I see one coming by!
The others looked forward, and they saw the Columbidae...
Rita: Wow, that bird is the Columbidae. Pretty pigeon-like.
Rita turned back to her binoculars, and soon after, she saw a small bird flying...
Rita: Whoa, it's the white-eared hummingbird! Hummingbirds like these have
been seen in Michigan.
Macy: I didn't know that.
A little white later, Lola, Lana, Rita, and Macy had finished bird watching, and went back to join the others at Rita's playhouse...
Lynn Sr.: How was bird watching?
Rita: It was great.
Macy: Yes, I learned something new today.
Next, Rita and Macy decided to play basketball, with L.J. joining them. Everyone walked out of the forest, back to Royal Woods, and to the Loud House. L.J., Rita, and Macy went inside to get changed into sports gear. When they came outside L.J. wore her basketball jumpsuit, while Rita and Macy wore both wear red tank tops, blue shorts, and white sneakers. Then they all went to the park. The Loud family watched Rita and Macy played basketball. After a while, Rita had 10 points while Macy had 8...
Rita: We're still playing well, just like when we were kids.
Macy: Yeah, but I may be better than I was back then, Rita.
Macy laughed as she stole the ball from Rita, and then threw it into the basketball. L.J. was cheering them on, pumping her arms up and down...
L.J.: Come on, ladies!
The two women kept playing, and it soon was a tie between Macy and Rita, 14-14. Soon, though, Rita jumps up and makes a trick shot, and made the last basket in time. Rita had won, 16 to 14.
Rita: Good game, Macy.
Macy: You too, Rita.
Rita: What should we do next?
Macy: (thinks for a moment) How about we try running track together?
Rita: Let's go change into tracksuits first.
They went into the women's bathroom to change, and when they came out, both of them were wearing short red track suits with blue strips on their shorts...
Rita: There's a track at Lincoln and Lynn's middle school. Let's go there to run.
Macy, Rita, R.A., and the Loud family went to Royal Woods Middle School, and got to the track area outback. The two women ran around the track 3 times in a row. After taking a water break, everyone went to the Royal Woods Mall...
Macy: I'd like to stop at the boutique first. I want to check out some stuff there.
Everyone went to the boutique, where they all checked out women's clothes there...
Leni: Wow, almost as good as where I work.
Macy: Hey, Leni, where do you work?
Leni was about to respond, until Luna spoke up...
Luna: You need to check out the Melody Shop, Macy. They have the raddest instruments there.
Rita: Shall we, Macy?
Macy: Alright.
Everyone then went to the mall's Melody Shop. (music store) Rita and Luna played guitars, and Macy played the drums, while everyone else danced to the music they were playing. After they were finished...
Leni: (to Macy) Do you want to see where I work now, Macy?
Macy: Yes, I would like to.
The Loud family, with Macy and R.A. were heading to a familiar department store...
Leni: This is Reininger's. I work at this department store.
Leni showed Macy around Reininger's, with R.A., and the Loud family by her. They walked around, and looked around everywhere in the department store. This included the clothing department, the jewelry section, a rack of sunglasses, and the toy area.
They saw some stuffed animals. (teddy bears, crocodiles, and giraffes) After that, everyone then decided to go somewhere in the mall for dinner...
Macy: Should we go to the food court and get dinner?
Rita: Let's go to the new Sbarro restaurant. It just opened at the place where Dim Yum used to be at.
Leni: (solemnly) Oh, I remember that restaurant.
Everyone walked to the Sbarro restaurant at the mall, and went in. Rita and Macy ordered 2 large supreme pizzas (pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, beef, mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives) for everybody. Everyone had one slice of supreme pizza at Sbarro for dinner. During that time, they spoke...
Leni: Is there anything you need for your hangouts?
Luna: Yeah, we could help you with that.
Rita and Macy thought for a moment, before Rita speaks...
Rita: We forgot to put phones in our playhouses!
Macy: Yeah, we have to be getting some new phones installed.
Lana: I can help you out with that!
L.S.: Yes, we can go to the store and get you two a new pair each.
After everyone finished their dinner, they left Sbarro, and walked out of the mall, where Macy and Rita parted ways...
Macy: Good night, Rita.
Rita: Good night, Macy.
Macy: Hope we'll get those new phones installed soon.
Rita: I'm counting on it.
Macy walked off in one direction, while Rita, her family, and R.A. walked off in another. While walking, Rita discussed how they would try putting phones inside her and Macy's playhouses...
Lana: I have a plan to help get phones installed in Mom and Macy's hangouts.
Lincoln: What would that be?
Luna: Yeah, I'm willing to help with that.
The Loud family and R.A. nodded and agreed that they would help, too.
Lana: You'll found out in the morning. I need to make some calls on the phone at home to make things work.
While everyone else put their heads down sadly, they understood Lana had to do this stuff for the phones to be installed. When they got home, Lana did her work, while the rest of the Loud family and R.A. would wait until the next morning...
