Note: The Flashback in this chapter takes place after the events of Raw Deal.
In the estate in the living room, Qin and Lily were looking through a photo album. They were laughing as they looked at pictures.
Qin: Boy you have all kinds of awesome pictures Lily.
Lily: I sure do. Most of them are pictures of what I did before I became a 10-year-old girl.
Lincoln: I remember that. These were my favorites.
Lincoln pointed to pictures of what he and Lily did before she got her powers.
They laughed.
Lily: Good times.
Then they heard Luan throwing up.
Lincoln: Boy that is a bad stomach flu.
Laney: Luan got the Stomach Flu from a piece of tainted cake at a clients house.
Qin: I thought your powers made you immune to getting sick.
Laney: Obviously not to food borne illness.
Nico: I know what will make her better.
Nico pulled out a bowl and he made a delicious sundae with Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream. He poured the ice cream out of his hands.
Nico: Here Eddy. You can give this to Luan
Eddy: Nico, how'd you make this ice cream?
Nico: Remember in the Mystery Inc. Game when we took down the Strawberry, Chocolate, and the Vanilla Technicolor Phantoms?
Eddy: That was awesome! Who knew you could do that.
Eddy went to give Luan the ice cream.
Horsea: Can I have some Ice Cream?
Maria: What ice cream do you want, Horsea?
They went to the kitchen.
Lily: I remember when I got my first ice cream.
Lily then remembered what happened.
FLASHBACK
It was shortly after the events of Raw Deal.
[Lily goes to the kitchen and yawns, stretching. Lynn Sr. is shown cooking and Rita talks to him and I was in the kitchen getting a glass of water.]
Rita: "Thanks for breakfast, honey." [Kisses him.] "I should be back around four after I finish pulling Flip's wisdom teeth." [She makes an annoyed face.]
Lynn Sr.: "I thought you already did that."
Rita: "He grew another set."
Lynn Sr.: "What?"
Me: Is that even possible Ms. Rita? Usually after you have them taken out, you never grow them back.
Lynn Sr.: Yeah.
Rita: "That is unusual J.D. You know, I was thinking, the kids have been really good this week, haven't they?"
Lynn Sr.: [Flipping an egg] "Oh, they've been great. No calls from school..."
Rita: "No trips to the ER..."
Me: No conflicts with each other.
Lynn Sr.: "I only had to raise my voice once."
Rita: "We should do something special for the kids. How about taking them out for ice cream when I get back?"
Lynn Sr.: "Oh, I love it! We could go to Auntie Pam's Parlor!"
Rita: [Looks at Lily, who has her toy keys in her mouth.] "And you know what? I think someone's ready for her first taste of ice cream~."
Lynn Sr.: "Oh! This is my favorite of all the milestones!" [To Lily] "What do you think, sweetie? You wanna try some..." [in slow motion] "ice cream?"
Lily: [gasps] "Huh? Ice ceam?"
[She then imagines being in a pink sky on a cloud and there's a sundae floating in the air. She turns towards it and gasps, reaching out to it, giggling. She then sees a flying teapot spraying chocolate sauce from its sprout, onto the sundae, then the rainbow above her melts into sprinkles, which lands on the sundae, the cloud, and her. She giggles, then some gummi bears appear on top of her head, do some dancing, and leap off her head, into the sundae. She grabs it and goes flying through the air, going through a cloud of whipped cream, which is on the sundae and on her face. Two spoons then hop past her, dance with each other, and jump into the sundae. She laughs and claps, then looks on in wonder as a cherry falls out of the sky, and onto the sundae. She is exuberant and begins to levitate towards it, until Rita's arms grab her and literally pulls her out of the daydream, while she screams. Back in reality, Rita is holding an unamused Lily.]
Rita: "So, ice cream sounds good?"
Lynn Sr.: "Darn tootin'! If today goes okay, too."
Me: You want your first ice cream Lily?
Rita: [affectionately to Lily] "Let's see if your siblings can behave for just a few more hours. [Boops Lily's nose and Lily giggles] And if they do, it's ice cream time!"
[She puts Lily on the floor and Lily imagines the ice cream, then imagines her siblings arguing.]
Imaginary Lisa: "Don't touch my glasses!"
Imaginary Lynn: "I can't believe you-"
Imaginary Lola: "Leni,-"
[The siblings in Lily's imagination start arguing too quickly to make sense of and that imagination devours the other.]
Lily: [Stops imagining and looks ticked] "Wah-wah!" [growls, then walks off looking grumpy]
[Lily is walking Lincoln and Lori into her and Lisa's room.]
Lincoln: "Uh, Lily, is everything okay?"
[He and Lori look surprised to see that Lily has led their other sisters into her and Lisa's room too.]
Leni: "Isn't this cute? Lily's calling a sibling meeting."
[Lily brings in a pad of paper, which hits a block, and crudely draws a sundae. She then points and babbles to it.]
Lola: "Good job, Lily, you drew an... upside-down tree."
[Lily facepalms, then tries to mime eating ice cream.]
Lincoln: "I think she's trying to tell us something."
Lisa: "Perhaps the infant has some trapped wind."
[Lily facepalms again and Lori tries to burp her but she exclaims and flails her arms around.]
Lola: "You guys are all wrong; she's clearly waving at us."
Leni: "I guess Lily called this meeting just to say hi." [waves] "Hi, Lily!"
Lily's siblings except Leni: [in unison] "Hi, Lily!"
Laney: I know what Lily wants. She called this meeting to tell us that we have to be on our best behavior because mom and dad are taking us out for ice cream later.
Lily nodded.
Lola: I love ice cream!
Me: Me too Lola.
Varie: I love ice cream.
Me: So guys we have to be on our best behavior.
We agreed and everyone left.
[The siblings leave the room.]
Laney (to Lily): You have something planned to get your ice cream, don't you, Lily?
Lily nodded.
[Lily then sees some toys discarded.]
Lynn Sr.: [singing offscreen] Checking the mail, skippa-dee-bop. What did we get in the latest crop?
[Lily looks nervous and imagines Lynn Sr. coming out of the bathroom.]
Imaginary Lynn Sr.: Doo-be-doo- [steps on a jack] "Ow, ow, ow! Oh, ow!" [Steps on a skateboard and goes sliding along.] "Whoa! [Falls off the skateboard and his head lands inside a drum.] No more ice cream!"
[The imagination ends as Lily screams and frantically moves all the toys.]
Lynn Sr.: [comes out of the bathroom] Maybe a crop. Maybe a bill [Lily sees a toy car where Lynn Sr. about to step and hastily grabs the controls and moves it away just in time.] Checking the mail is always a thrill. Doo doo doo ba-da-ba-da! Doodley doo doo doo- [walks downstairs]
[Lily smiles, then walks into the kitchen, where me and Lincoln are talking on the walkie-talkie and mopping the floor.]
Clyde: [on the walkie-talkie] "Lincoln! I've got a code denim!"
Lincoln: "You're stuck in a pair of skinny jeans?!"
Me: Yikes! I had that happen to me and it cut off the blood flow to my legs!
Clyde: "Yeah I was trying to update my looks, but now I can't feel my legs!"
Lincoln: [puts the mop down] "Mopping the floor can wait. We're on our way! [runs out of the kitchen and past Lily] Don't struggle, Clyde, it'll only make it worse."
Me: Hang on Clyde!
[Lily imagines her parents both slipping on the wet floor. She looks determined and slides along the floor on her butt, thereby completing its mopping.]
Varie saw it.
Varie: Wow! This floor is so shiny that you can see your own reflection.
When Lily was done, she walks into the living room, where the twins are on the couch fighting over the TV remote. Laney was reading a book.]
Lola: "I wanna watch my pageant show!"
Lana: "I wanna watch my penguin show!" [The twins struggle as the TV keeps flipping between their favorite shows back and forth, then Lana has the remote.] "Got it!"
Lola: "Give it to me!"
[She jumps on Lana and they begin fighting. Lily hears Vanzilla's horn to show that Rita just pulled into the driveway. She nervously runs towards the twins, but then sees Lynn with her football on top of the stairs.]
Lynn: "Lynn Loud looks downfield but nobody's open! She's going for the quarterback sneak!"
Lily: "Huh?" [She then sees Luan with a spring-loaded boxing glove.]
Luan: "If all goes according to plan, my family will glove this prank!"
[Lily gasps and imagines Rita entering and being tackled by the twins' fight, or Lynn, or being punched by Luan.]
Imaginary Rita: "No more ice cream!"
[The imagination ends and Lily whistles for Charles, then rides on him as she lets out a battle cry and steals the remote from the twins. She then changes the channel.]
Woman on TV: "And now, back to Penguin Pageants!"
[The twins stop fighting.]
Lana and Lola: "Huh?"
[They watch intently.
Laney: I didn't know there was a thing like that.
Me: Me neither.
Lily, still riding Charles, whistles for Walt, who flies out of his cage and around Luan.]
Luan: [giggles while trying to shoo the canary] "Walt, knock it off!"
[Luan then accidentally punches herself in the face with the glove and is knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, Lily jumps off Charles and uses the glove to launch herself onto Lynn's face, knocking her over.]
Lynn: "Oh no, it's a fumble!" [Points]
[Lily sees Lynn's football roll down the stairs and gets nervous. Rita enters and Charles catches the ball just as it was going to make contact with her. Rita looks confused, but happy.]
Rita: "Well, this is nice to see everybody getting along. And Luan's even taking a nap."
[Lily is seen climbing down the stairs]
Lynn Sr.: [comes out of his and Rita's room] "Yep, they've been perfect all day. Not a single mess or meltdown."
Rita: "That's all I needed to hear. Kids, come down here, please! [All the Loud kids assemble.] Do you want to tell them the surprise or should I?"
Lynn Sr.: "Oh, you do it."
Rita: "You guys have been so well-behaved this week, we wanted to do- Luan, wake up. Something nice for you, so everybody get in Vanzilla because-"
Lynn Sr.: [excitedly] "I changed my mind, I wanna tell them, we're going for ice cream!"
[We all make various cheerful exclamations, from which can be heard "Yes!" from one of the sisters, "Awesome!" from Lincoln, "Seriously?!" from Leni, and "Ice cream!" from Lynn. Lily imagines her sundae, and Charles imagines a dog treat. Lily somehow sees Charles' thought bubble and gives him a treat.]
[The Louds begin walking out the door.]
Lynn Sr.: "Catch up, my little tomatoes, time to head out!"
We went out the door and I was about to get Lily.
[Lily is about to head out as well when sees an ad on TV.]
Ad: "Come beat the heat at Auntie Pam's Parlor, but make sure you get there by five; [Lily watches intently and does a victory fist pump before realizing what the commercial is saying] we're closing early to give our scoopers a break. Don't forget, five PM! One more time; five PM! Five PM!"
Me: 5:00!? Oh man!
[Lily notices on the clock that it's 4:31 and tries to get Lynn Sr.'s attention.]
Lynn Sr.: [picking Lily up] "I know, sweetie; I'm excited for ice cream, too." [Turns the TV off.]
[Cut to Vanzilla driving off. Lynn Sr. types in their destination on his phone and sets it on the holder.]
GPS: "Your estimated arrival time at Auntie Pam's Parlor is 4:46 PM."
[Lily is relieved and imagines the dot on the GPS turning into a cherry.]
Imaginary Cherry: "See you soon, Lily!" [kisses]
Lily: [gasps] "Cherry..."
[Suddenly, Vanzilla comes to a stop to find it in the middle of traffic.]
Rita: "There's never this much traffic on this street."
GPS: "Your new estimated arrival time is 5:05 PM."
Lynn Sr.: "No biggie. Auntie Pam's doesn't close 'til eight." [Lily starts reaching out.] "Oh, you wanna play with Daddy's phone, Lily? [Gives Lily his phone] Ok, but please don't call Aunt Ruth again. It's two hours I'll never get back."
[Lily presses buttons on the phone, then throws it back onto the holder.]
GPS: "Rerouting, make a U-turn onto Oakville Road."
Lynn Sr.: "Oh, look at that. [In his british accent] Lily accidentally found us a faster route."
[Vanzilla drives to that route]
GPS: "Your new estimated arrival time is 4:52 PM."
[Lily wipes the sweat beads off her forehead. Just then, police sirens then sound, scaring Lily.]
Rita: [annoyed] "Shoot, what now?" [pulls over]
Cop: "Ma'am, do you know your registration's expired? I'll have to write you a ticket for that. Get comfy; this could take a while."
[Lily looks out the window to see the cop writing Rita's ticket. She frantically looks around, and finds one of her blocks and blankie on the floor. She picks them up and places the block inside on the end of the blanket, then looks out the window again and spots the clutch of the officer's motorcycle. With one spin and a toss from her "weapon", she was able to move the clutch, sending the bike rolling down the hill.]
Cop: [Notices and chases after it] "Ahh! My bike! Come back, precious!"
Rita: "Uh, thanks, officer, we'll take that as a warning! Whoo!" [drives off]
GPS: "Your new estimated arrival time is 4:58 PM."
Lily: "Phew!"
[Later, The Louds arrive at Auntie Pam's Parlor.]
GPS: "You have arrived at your destination."
Lynn Sr.: [Looking through his pockets] "Uh-oh."
Rita: "Oh, honey, please tell me you didn't forget your wallet. This place only takes cash. "
[Lily's eye twitches in anger. She digs through the seats, and holds up a twenty.]
Lynn Sr.: "The emergency twenty! Lily, you've done it again!"
Lily's siblings: [in unison] "Yay, Lily!"
[Everyone, but Rita and Lily, is eating ice cream.]
Rita: "Hi, can I get one scoop of vanilla ice cream, please." [Lily babbles and points at the picture of the sundae.] "Haha, okay, I guess she has other ideas. One sundae, please."
[Rita is given the sundae and sets Lily up to eat it. Lori has her phone out and recording Lily.]
Lori: "You ready, Lily? Okay, guys, I'm recording."
Lynn Sr.: [teary-eyed] "I can't believe this is the last time we get to introduce a little Loud to ice cream."
Lily's siblings: [in unison] "Go, Lily!"
[Just as Lily was about to take the first-ever bite of her sundae, she hears a bird call in the distance, and said bird swoops in front of her, having Lily drop the sundae and onto the grass, all the while happening in slow-motion. Lily looks at the remains and gets teary-eyed.]
Me: You stupid bird!
Rita: "Oh no, sweetie, don't worry, we'll get you a new sundae. [knocks on the window] Uh, excuse me!"
Luna: "No dice, dudes, they close at five this week."
Lynn Sr.: "What? Huh. You think they'd advertise something like that."
[Lily looks down for a second, and just like that, she starts crying uncontrollably.]
Rita: [picks her up] "Oh, poor baby. Let's get you home."
Me: Oh Lily.
[The parents and Lily walk off looking somber. Everyone's in Vanzilla again and the siblings are trying to cheer up their baby sister.]
Lily's siblings, except Luan and Lana: "Oh, it's okay, Lily."
Luan: "Cheer up, Lily."
Lana: "Oh, Lily..."
Leni: "I've never seen Lily look so sad."
Luan: "You'll get that ice cream sundae, Lily, perhaps when the road isn't so rocky! Don't have a mint chip on your shoulder about this."
Lola: "Luan, read the room!"
Me: Don't worry, Lily. One way or another, you're getting that ice cream!
Varie: Yeah!
[Just then, Lily sees Flip's Food and Fuel and tries to get her parents' attention.]
Rita: "It's okay, honey; we'll be home soon."
[Lily then deliberately poops her diaper.]
Lucy: [sniffs] "Oh, what is that? It smells like a thousand angry skunks."
Varie: GEEZ! LILY!
Me: OH YUCK!
[Lynn groans in disgust, followed by everyone else.]
Rita: [Smells it as well] "Oh, somebody needs a diaper change, stat!" [Turns the van around]
[Flip's Food and Fuel. Lynn Sr. carries Lily out of the bathroom and into the store.]
Lynn Sr.: [singing] A little powder, a little wipey, now you've got a fresh new diapie! [Lily sees some ice cream in the freezer and struggles out of her father's grip.] "We've got a runner!"
[Lily jumps onto the freezer and starts banging it with her fists.]
Rita: "Look what Lily found!"
Lincoln: "That gives me an idea."
Me: Same here.
Laney: Me too.
[And so...]
Lynn Sr.: [Making a sundae for Lily.] "One ice cream sundae coming up!"
Lincoln: "Don't forget the gummi bears!" [puts them on]
Me: And the sprinkles. [puts them on]
Lynn: "Whipped topping in the hizz-ouse!" [puts it on]
Lola: "And some yummy cookie crumbles!"
[Lola puts a cookie on the bench, which Lana smashes with her spanner and Lily sprinkles the crumbs on. Flip is seen with a bandaged face, speaking in a garbled way and putting chocolate sauce on, then he falls over.]
Rita: [takes the ice cream] "Thanks, Flip, but you're not supposed to be talking after your wisdom teeth surgery." [Puts a cherry on top and hands it to Lily.]
Me: I think this is an act of karma for Flip being a total cheapskate.
Luan: "You guys, she's about to try it!"
[The family gasps excitingly as Lily takes a spoonful of her sundae and eats it, then she imagines herself once again in the pink sky, this time with her family, and is laughing. Back in reality, everyone's in Vanzilla again just as it was leaving Flip's. Lily has ice cream all over her face, giggling when she finally got her ice cream.]
Laney: Congrats on getting your ice cream, Lily. You've earned it!
Lisa: "Hmm, if I didn't know better, I'd swear Lily orchestrated this whole thing."
Lynn Sr.: "Oh, don't be silly, honey, she's just a baby, haha."
Me: Lily may be a baby, but she is a smart baby.
[Iris out, Lily winks at the audience.]
FLASHBACK ENDS
We laughed.
Me: That was so funny.
Stewie: You came up with that at your baby age? And I thought I was clever back in my world domination days!
Lily: (Laughs) I may be a baby biologically, but I am a smart kid.
We laughed.
Tommy Oliver then came in and he had a photo with him.
Me: Hey Tommy.
Tommy Oliver was looking at a picture of him, Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Zack, and Trini back in their first year as Rangers.
Jason (comes in the room): You still have that photo?
Tommy: Yep. I always kept it even after all these years.
Jason (smiles): Man, those were good times.
Me: Yeah they sure were. I remember seeing all that on TV. It was so awesome. I'll leave you guys alone to reminisce okay.
Jason: Thanks J.D.
I left.
Tommy and Jason then looked at a clip board that had pictures of Aurico, TJ Johnson, Andros, Casey Rhodes, Scott Trueman, Jayden Shiba, Troy Burrows, Tyler Nevarro, and Brody Romero.
Tommy: Those are the Red Rangers of the Ranger Teams that haven't joined us yet. We should also show J.D. our Zeo Powers.
Jason: What about Devon Daniels and the Beast Morphers team?
Tommy: They already have Evox and the rest of their own enemies to deal with. It's best not to disturb them.
Jason: Good point. (sighs) You ever wonder what would've happened if we weren't chosen by Zordon to become Power Rangers?
Tommy: We all wouldn't have become friends.
Jason: You're right. Being a Power Ranger is the best thing that's happened to us.
Tommy (smiles): And we wouldn't have it any other way.
It was a great time for them.
However as we were reminiscing, out in space on an awesome space station in orbit above Earth, 6 rangers were getting ready. It was the Space Power Rangers
Andros: Lets head down to Earth and see some old friends.
Their spaceship took off to Earth and planets and stars transit before the screen turned black.
THE END
Another Fanfiction and flashback chapter done.
Any Given Sundae was the cutest episode of The Loud House that aired earlier this year! It was so adorable! NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks man. Let me know what you all think.
See you all next time.
