Reversal of Fortune: Chapter 28: No Pity for the Fool
MONDAY, OCTOBER 10; 3:00 AM
LOUD HOUSE
ROYAL WOODS, MICHIGAN
Luan was awoken by a scary clown laugh sound effect as her alarm. She immediately turned it off, looked at the date on her phone screen, and gasped.
Her phone time read, "3:00 AM, Saturday, April 1." A big alert on her phone read, "PRANKSMAS!"
After turning off her alarm, Luan cried, "Oh no! Pranksmas!" She ran over to her closet and whined, "Aww, and I have no pranking supplies! All because of that dumb Marcus Quick!" She then rubbed her hands together and evilly cackled, "It's OK… guess I'll have to 'prank on my feet'! HAHAHAHA, GET IT?!", before rushing downstairs and doing what she could to improvise pranks for her family.
(Time Skip: 7:30 AM, Lynn Sr. and Rita's Room)
A creepy version of "Entrance of the Gladiators" blared across the room, causing Lynn Sr. and Rita to gasp. When Lynn Sr. turned off the alarm and saw the date on his phone, he yelped, "AAAAAH!" He then stammered, "A-A-A-APRIL FOOLS' DAY!", before shrinking back into his blanket and shivering, "B-B-B-B-lue p-p-paint! E-e-everywhere! EVERYWHERE!"
Rita yawned, "Honey, I'm pretty sure it's not…", before turning on her phone screen and seeing the date. When she did, she shrieked, "OH MY GOD! SHE'S ON THE LOOSE! SHE'S ON THE LOOSE!", before also shrinking back into her blanket and shivering in terror.
Lynn Sr. whispered, "She could be anywhere."
Rita replied, "I know, honey."
Lynn Sr. started, "She could even be-", before trading glances with Rita. When he did, the two pointed at each other and yelled, "YOU!", before jumping out of the bed and running as quickly as they could out of the bathroom and out of the house.
As Luan videotaped Lynn Sr. and Rita running out of the Loud House naked, she punned, "Well, talk about getting a running start to your day! Hahahaha, get it?" As she heard some neighbors start to yell, "HEY, LOUDS! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!", she giggled, "Ooh, I've got to catch this peep show!" Luan then laughed madly to herself and ran back to her room to videotape Lynn Sr. and Rita running naked through Franklin Avenue and away from each other. Meanwhile, several other neighbors watching Lynn Sr. and Rita mockingly wolf-whistled and jeered at them.
(Time Skip: 8:00 AM, Lori's Room)
As Lori's phone alarm blared with the sound effect of a cackling clown, she immediately bolted upright and yelped. When Lori looked at her phone screen, she saw the time and date: "8:00 AM, Saturday, April 1."
Lori immediately screamed in terror and ran out of the room. However, as Lori slammed the door open and ran into the hallway to get out of the house, she ran over a banana peel positioned right in front of the stairs. Because Lori sprinted down the hallway in a blind panic, she slipped on the banana peel, causing her to tumble down the stairs and nearly break her arm on landing.
As Lori groaned in agony, Luan taunted, "Wow, talk about a 'Slip n' Slide!' HAHAHAHA, GET IT!"
Lori panted at Luan, "When I get up, I am going to literally turn you into a human pretzel, Luan," before groaning in pain as she tried to lift her left arm up.
(Scene Change: Lynn Jr. and Lily's Room)
Lynn Jr. woke up to a blaring "emergency alarm" sound. When Lynn Jr. turned off the alarm and saw the time on her phone, she immediately grumbled, "Seriously?!" As if things couldn't get worse, she heard Lily drowsily mumble, "Poo-poo," before pooping in her diaper.
Lynn Jr. yelled, "Aww, Lily!", before picking a giggling Lily up from her crib.
As Lynn Jr. changed Lily's diaper, she fantasized, "Would love to prank that bitch Luan for once."
Lily clapped and giggled before babbling, "Pwank! Pwank! U-an!"
Lynn Jr. chuckled, "Yeah, yeah."
(Scene Change: Lisa and Lana's Room)
When the Air Raid siren blared from Lisa's phone, she rolled over in her bed to turn her alarm off. When Lisa got a look at the date on her phone, she blankly said to herself, "Oh dear. Good thing I'm armed, though. The rest of my family units, though… may the odds be ever in their favor."
Lana rubbed her eyes before yawning, "Morning, Lise. What's up?"
When Lisa showed Lana the date on her phone screen, Lana paled as she murmured, "Oh no."
Lisa sighed, "Apparently. Now, come on… we've got work to do to protect ourselves. Lana, did you complete construction of that bathroom for our parental units?"
Lana recalled, "Uh… yeah."
Lisa replied, "Excellent," before instructing Lana, "Now, go to the bathroom if you need to, be sure to get out of this house as quickly as possible, and hide in my bunker for the rest of the day. Go STRAIGHT TO THE BUNKER. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE. It'll be our best chance of survival."
Lana asked, "But what about food? We need to eat!"
Lisa deadpanned, "First of all, Lana, you eat animals of the Insecta class, and we know that. Second, I'm the one with the scientific materials. If anyone goes back inside our domicile to scan for potential threats, it's me. We don't have time to waste, and I recommend you go first."
Lana asked, "Why?"
Lisa answered, "So I can supply us with the tools needed to keep ourselves safe."
Lana smiled, "Got it, Lise," before walking to the bathroom.
As Lana walked to the bathroom sink, she noticed a new tube of red toothpaste placed on her sink. Lana mused to herself, "Red toothpaste? Never seen this before. Oh well."
When Lana began to brush her teeth, she immediately felt a burning sensation in her mouth, and briefly yelped in pain. Her face turned beet red and she sweated profusely.
Through immense pain in her tongue, Lana roared, "AN LI, U-A!"
She then ran out of the bathroom with her tongue sticking out and cried, "I-A! E've got ooh dit at a he!"
Lisa asked, "What?"
Lana yelled, "E-V! UN DY DON!"
Lisa sighed, "Judging by your tone, and how you're talking, it appears as if whatever Luan put in the bathroom burned off your tongue!"
Lana grumbled, "Bo ca-e!"
Lisa grabbed Lana's hand and urged her, "JUST COME ON!"
Lisa then took Lana's hand as the two of them frantically rushed downstairs to reach Lisa's bunker, making sure to watch their steps to make sure they didn't set off any of Luan's explosions. Unfortunately, Luan saw this coming, and attempted to slingshot dirty diapers at her fleeing younger sisters, which fortunately, all missed.
Lisa looked back and told Lana, "Uh-oh. Looks like we're under heavy fire, Lans! STEP ON IT!"
While ducking a dirty diaper, Lana pleaded with Lisa, "UH TA-DA!", before Lisa again grabbed Lana by the arm and dragged her outside while yelling, "JUST GO!"
Unfortunately, in Lisa and Lana's desperation to flee, they trampled Lori, causing her to groan in pain, "OWWW!"
When Lana exchanged a worried glance with Lisa, Lisa warned her, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER! WE'RE SAVING OURSELVES!"
Just as Lisa and Lana stepped outside, Lisa accidentally stepped on the wiring of the house's garden hose, soaking them with over 100 gallons of the super-spicy sauce from Lynn Jr.'s subs, causing them to cry out in searing pain. Unfortunately, Mr. Grouse was caught in the crossfire.
As Lisa, Lana, and Mr. Grouse screamed, Luan taunted them, "You know what'll fix your hair up? OLAY, OLAY, OLAY, OLAY! HAHAHAHA! GET IT?!"
Lisa and Lana groaned before making it to Lisa's bunker without further incident. Meanwhile, Mr. Grouse yelled, "DANG IT, LOUDS!" The next moment, Mr. Grouse saw Lynn Sr. and Rita streaking down the street in terror, so he decided to taunt them, "NICE PEEP SHOW, LOUDS!"
When Lisa and Lana saw Lynn Sr. and Rita streaking through the streets, Lisa giggled, "I say we let them figure it out," before entering the bunker with Lana and shutting the door. As she did, she told Lana, "OK… we should be safe in here. And the best part is, you don't have to clean yourself. Now, come on, I should have something in here that can treat your tongue burns."
In response, Lana merely groaned in pain.
(Time Skip: 8:05 AM, Lucy's Room)
As a creepy, evil clown wallpaper flashed across Lucy's phone screen, complete with a creepy laugh, Lucy rolled over to turn her alarm off. She groaned in pain before looking at the phone's date. When she read it, Lucy's eyes shrunk as she whispered to herself, "Oh no."
After jumping into the vents to hide, Lucy gasped when she came face to face with a maliciously grinning Luan. Luan shined a flashlight on her face as she smirked, "HEYYYYYYYY!", before maniacally laughing as she crawled her way past Lucy.
(Scene Change: Leni's Room)
When Leni heard her morning alarm blare the chorus of Boyz will be Boyz' "Ooh Girl", she turned it off and stretched peacefully. When Leni looked at her phone screen, she read the date out loud, "Sat-chur-day Ape-reel 1." Thinking nothing of it, she pulled down the attic ladder and started walking towards the bathroom.
However, as Leni pulled down her attic ladder, she noticed that at the very bottom, toilet paper had been wrapped around one of its side railings to look like a spider web, complete with a fake giant spider. Leni immediately yelped while pointing at the fake web, "AAAAAAH! SPIDER!", before running up the ladder back to her attic to hide. Unfortunately, while doing so, the ladder suddenly folded inwards, sending Leni tumbling towards her fashion supplies. When Leni finally stopped at the edge of the attic, she crashed into a bunch of her carefully sewn clothes and the squirrel suit outfit, scattering them across the room and leaving Leni buried in a pile of clothes.
Leni groaned in agony, "Awwwww."
(Scene Change: Luna's Basement)
As the opening notes to the "Death Trap" instrumental from SpongeBoy blared from Luna's phone, Luna groaned as she rolled over to turn off her alarm.
When Luna saw the date on her phone screen, her eyes widened before she gasped to herself, "Oh no."
After stretching and getting out of her bed, Luna felt her stomach rumbling. She groaned before deciding to go upstairs to use the bathroom. As she walked upstairs, she didn't notice Luan hiding underneath the stairs with a malicious grin.
What Luna did notice, however, was Lori groaning in pain on the carpet in front of the stairs. She sighed, "It's April Fools' Day. Watch out for Luan, dude. But I guess you knew that," before continuing to walk upstairs to the bathroom.
(Time Skip: 8:10 AM, Lola's Room)
As Lola woke up, she yawned, "That was not a good beauty sleep. Oh well," before rolling over in her bed and pressing her thumb on her phone.
When Lola saw the date on her phone screen, she screamed, "NO! OH GOD, NO! ANYTHING BUT THIS DAY! ANYTHING! PLEASE!"
She then nervously giggled at Eunice, Mr. Sprinkles, and Rosie, "Heh-heh… just trying to keep you guys safe. You know how it is." Lola pulled out a mirror before telling her toys, "Besides, look at me. It's not like Luan could make anything worse," before tossing her mirror over to the side and walking out of the door. As soon as Lola opened the door, she saw Luan evilly grinning at her, and immediately yelped in terror.
Lola begged Luan, "PLEASE, DON'T HURT THIS BEAUTIFUL FACE! I'LL DO ANYTHING! ANYTHING!"
Luan consoled Lola, "Relax… what you just went through is way too brutal. You know what… I'm gonna go easy on you and Lana."
Lola gasped, "Really? OH, THANK YOU, THANK-", before Luan interrupted her, "NOT! APRIL FOOLS' WARMUP! HAHAHAHA!" Luan then snarked, "Oh, and by the way, do something about that hair and make-up."
Lola growled, "Why you little-", before yelling, "RAAAAAH!", and attempting to tackle Luan to the floor. However, Luan was quicker than Lola, and immediately intercepted the tackle by sticking her foot out, sending Lola tumbling to the floor and leaving Luan unscathed.
As Lola fell, Luan punned, "Wow, talk about a face-lift! HAHAHAHA, GET IT?!" As Lola rolled over in pain, Luan took a picture of her before running off to prank her next victim. Lola seethed as she watched Luan run away before dusting herself off to walk to the bathroom.
When Lola joined the bathroom line, she groaned to Leni and Luna, "How long is this going to take?!" In response, Lucy immediately popped out and told her, Leni, and Luna, "Ocupado," causing them to yelp in fright.
Lola stuttered, "H-h-how d-did you-", to which Lucy quickly interrupted her, "Vents, remember?"
Lola mused, "Oh yeah," before Lucy slammed the door shut in her sisters' faces.
After Lucy walked to the sink, she groaned to herself, "I just hope it isn't too bad this year," and cautiously turned the hot water knob attached to the sink clockwise. However, Luan had jerry-rigged the sink so that instead of the water going straight down into the sink, the water blasted her in the face. Lucy got doused with scalding hot water from the sink and slipped and fell into the bathtub headfirst, knocking a plugged-in hairdryer, a basket of pills, a radio, a soap bar, and an open bottle of bleach hanging precariously on the rim of the bathtub into the bathtub itself.
After falling into the bathtub, Lucy said to herself, "Sigh. Looks like I'm going to start today off with my shower." She then closed her curtains and took off her clothes. Having not noticed everything that fell into the bathtub, Lucy turned the hot water on to warm up the water in the tub before beginning her shower. A few seconds later, everything that fell in the bathtub caused Lucy to be electrocuted.
After Lucy fell into the bleach- and water-filled bathtub, Luan punned from the vents, "Talk about a shocking start to your morning! Hahahaha, get it?!", as Lucy groaned in pain.
Luna and Leni slowly backed away from the bathroom door while Lola uncomfortably remarked, "Uh… I don't need to tinkle after all."
(Time Skip: 8:15 AM, Lola's Room)
Lola started to apply foundation to her skin when she noticed that the foundation that she was applying felt like it was burning on her face. When Lola looked in the mirror and started to spot unsightly burns and scars all over her face, she screamed in horror. It got even worse when Lola heard her phone repeatedly vibrate and decided to check her notifications. When she did, she noticed a pic from Luan's SwiftyPic that had already received at least 10 likes despite only being posted a few minutes ago. The post showed two pictures: a "before" pic of Lola during her peak as a pageant queen, and an "after" pic of Lola after her accident at the Little Miss Angel Pageant.
Lola seethed, rumbled, and tightly gripped her phone as her face turned red. She then threw her phone against the wall and belted, "LUAN, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
However, when Lola slammed her door open, she looked down to see glitter lining the hall. She gasped before yelling, "GLITTER!", and ran and followed the path of glitter all the way out to the front door. Unfortunately for Lola, Luan met her with a devious smirk on her face at the front lawn and a ball of mud in her hand. Luan proceeded to throw balls of mud at Lola's face as she screamed. Meanwhile, Luan punned, "Talk about getting down and dirty! Hahahaha, get it?"
When Lola moved to tackle Luan, Luan eluded the tackle, causing Lola to faceplant into a puddle of mud. As Luan ran off, Lola balled her left hand into a fist and growled to herself, "Luan. Loud. Must. Die."
(Scene Change: Luna's Basement)
As Luna returned to her basement, she sighed, "Maybe some tunes ought to do the trick," while pulling out her axe and her Mick Swagger guitar pick.
Unfortunately, Luna was so distraught that she didn't notice that Luan had hooked the guitar up to a defective amp. She jumped off her bed and strummed the guitar, causing such a loud, piercing noise to come from the amp that its shockwaves knocked Luan back into the wall with a thud. Meanwhile, outside, Mr. Grouse covered his ears and trembled in terror as he shuddered, "What the heck was that?!" He then shrugged it off and walked back inside while telling anyone who would listen, "Eh… I'm too old for this crap," before slamming the door shut.
Luan, who had heard the noise, covered her ears and punned, "Talk about a sonic boom! Hahahaha, get it?!", to which the rest of the Loud House groaned.
When Luna heard the noise that came out of her guitar, she shuddered to herself, "Eh… guess I'll just…", before gasping when she noticing that she couldn't hear and that she had a ringing in her ears. Luna slowly increased the volume of her voice, but to no avail, causing her to start panicking. When Luna started to scream random rock lyrics at the top of the lungs, she could only hear it at the volume of someone speaking softly to her. A horrified Luna screamed, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!", loud enough for the whole house to hear. Unfortunately for Luna, again, she could only hear the scream as a soft voice. So, she spoke at her normal volume, "Oh no, dude! Luan made me deaf!", before growling, "Oh, that bitch! She's so gonna get it when April 2nd comes," before stomping up the stairs to search for Luan.
Unbeknownst to Luna, while she was lamenting the loss of her hearing, Luan put her hand to her ear while mocking Luna, "I can't hear you! Say, YEAH! HAHAHAHA! GET IT?!"
(Scene Change: Main Stairwell)
As Lynn Jr. walked downstairs while ducking Lily's dirty diapers, she told Lily, who she was holding in her arms, "I don't know how much more I can take!" As Lily saw her diaper coming straight for her and Lynn Jr., she babbled to Lynn Jr., "Wah ow!"
Lynn Jr. turned back, saw a dirty diaper headed straight for her face, and quickly twisted toward the side, avoiding the diaper and making it land past Lori.
When Lynn Jr. got to the bottom of the stairwell, she gasped. The Loud House's entire main floor appeared to be covered in grease. At the sight of the grease-covered floor, Lynn Jr. urged Lily, "You stay here until I deactivate whatever Luan's set up," to which Lily replied, "Kay."
As Lynn Jr. ran towards her bedroom, she noticed the sound of what seemed to be a music box singing coming from upstairs:
Cheer up baby, don't you cry
No more cheers, it's cheer up time!
Laugh with me and we will be
Happy, happy, happy
Lynn Jr. ignored the loop of Fenton the Feel-Better Fox's song as she snuck back into her bedroom while dodging a couple of more diapers. When Lynn Jr. reached her bedroom, she slammed her closet door open before rummaging through it, "Come on, come on!" After a few seconds, Lynn Jr. found the skateboard she was looking for, and murmured to herself, "Paydirt!"
As Lynn Jr. ran downstairs with the skateboard in hand, she called out, "Don't worry, Lily! Your big sister's here to save the-", before trailing off when she noticed Lily was not on the stairs. Lynn Jr. looked down at the grease floor and groaned to herself, "Great. Alright, I'm going to have to ride this solo," before skateboarding down the first floor.
Despite the greasy surface, Lynn Jr. managed to dismount her skateboard just before it disintegrated and stop her momentum right next to the kitchen sink. When Lynn Jr. stopped at the oven, she found a smirking Luan waiting for her, so Lynn Jr. snorted, "Hey, Luan, is that the best you can do?"
Luan slow-clapped, "Wow, Lynnie… impressive."
Lynn Jr. smirked, "You know it!"
Luan then asked Lynn Jr., "Say, you know what, you and your family have been such great sports on past April Fools' Days! Hahahaha, get it?!"
Lynn Jr. sighed, "I get it, Luan. What do you want? Go away, I'm getting breakfast for the family."
Luan continued, "But you see, the thing with April Fools' Day is, it's not fun if I'm the only one doing it."
Lynn Jr. asked, "What do you mean?"
Luan offered, "Lynn, what if I spared you for the rest of April Fools' Day and let you join in on pranking some of our siblings?"
Lynn Jr. demanded, "What's the catch? With you, Luan, there's always a catch."
Luan told Lynn Jr., "Oh, nothing really. Just shake my hand and we'll be good," before extending her oven mitt-covered right hand to Lynn Jr.
Lynn Jr. gasped, "A handshake? You expect me to fall for that?"
Luan turned her palm upwards and begged, "I've got nothing on this! I swear!"
Lynn Jr. took a quick look at the oven mitten Luan was wearing and saw no traces of any hidden pranks attached to it. Lynn Jr. then grumbled to herself, "I'm probably gonna regret this, but, deal," before shaking her hand.
However, when Lynn Jr.'s hand made contact with Luan's gloved oven mitt, she screamed in pain. Despite her pain, Luan held Lynn Jr.'s hand in place with a surprisingly strong grip, forcing her to endure the burning glove for fifteen seconds as she taunted, "Hey, Lynn! What's the matter? Too hot to hand-le? Hahahahaha, get it?! If you can't take the heat, time to get out of the kitchen! HAHAHAHAHA!"
When Luan finally broke the handshake, she left Lynn Jr. writhing in pain on the floor. Unfortunately, because of the grease on the floor, Lynn Jr. slid back towards the oven, which opened to reveal a bunch of rabid raccoons ready to attack. The raccoons immediately pounced on Lynn Jr. and mauled her as Luan extended the same gloved hand out to Lynn Jr. while punning, "Looks like you need a hand! Hahahaha, get it?"
(Time Skip: 8:20 AM)
As Lynn Jr. continued to groan in pain from being mauled by fierce raccoons, she noticed herself start to sweat. Lynn Jr. got up and asked herself, "Ugh… why is it so hot?"
She stalked over to the thermometer and gasped, "100 DEGREES?" She then yelped, "I gotta get outta here!", before sprinting for the backyard.
When Lynn Jr. arrived at the backyard, she noticed the "Paradise for One" pool filled with water, and said to herself, "Better than nothing."
Lynn Jr. quickly stripped down to her underwear and training bra before hopping in the pool. Upon hopping in the pool, Lynn Jr. immediately shivered. Lynn Jr. then looked down at the pool and noticed not only a bunch of ice cubes, but a whirring air condition fan on the other side of the pool blasting cold air into said pool.
She immediately yelped, "YOUCH!", at how cold the pool was, and Luan punned, "That should cool you off! Hahahaha, get it?!"
Lynn Jr. growled at Luan's pun and roared, "YOU'RE DEAD, LUAN!" Unfortunately, Lynn Jr. was unable to find Luan, let alone catch up to her or tackle her, due to a combination of Luan's head start, running speed, agility, and stealth abilities.
Upon returning to the kitchen, she groaned to herself, "Might as well finish making stupid breakfast."
After that, Lynn Jr. opened the fridge and scanned it for any potential traps set by Luan. Lynn Jr. sighed in relief when she found that everything in the fridge was right where the Louds had left it when she had last seen it. However, Lynn Jr. grew suspicious when she noticed trays of cookies and brownies in the bottom row of the fridge. She snorted out loud, "Cookies and brownies? Are you kidding me, Luan, I thought you were better than that!" Lynn Jr. then cautiously pulled 2 trays of eggs out of one of the middle shelves of the fridge before carefully walking to one of the cupboards beneath the kitchen countertop to find her frying pan and egg mixing bowl. However, just as Lynn Jr. put her hand on the cupboard knob to pull it open, the knob fell off, making her groan, "Dang it."
At that moment, Lynn Jr. heard a loud scream from the basement that shook the house, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! LUAN, YOU ARE SO DEAD!"
Lynn Jr. turned around to the source of the scream. A few seconds later, she saw Luna furiously slam the basement door open and sprint down the hallway while growling in search of Luan. When Lynn Jr. noticed that Luna's face had been covered in purple food coloring, she snickered softly to herself before looking for another way to pry the kitchen's cupboards open.
(Time Skip: 8:25 AM, Front Corridor)
As Lori finally regained the strength to stand up, she felt her right leg cramp up as she groaned to herself, "Literally the worst experience." A split-second later, she heard the clanging of pots and pans off in the distance, and groaned, "Must be Luan. Without Lincoln around to take the pranks for us, let's see her do her worst." As Lori stood up, she noticed herself slipping and losing her balance thanks to the grease-covered floor. When Lori saw the grease coating the hallways of the floor, she smirked, "Hmm. So that's how you want to play it, Luan." Lori proceeded to slowly scoot across the hallway while hugging the walls, banisters, and anything she could use to support herself. When Lori finally made it to the kitchen, she triumphantly yelled, "HA! IN YOUR FACE, LU-", before gasping when she saw her slightly younger sister attempting to cook breakfast for the family. Lori stammered, "L-L-L-Lynn? What are you doing?"
Lynn Jr. groaned, "Trying to make breakfast for the fam. Such a waste of time, though, seems like every ingredient's either been swapped out or booby-trapped!"
Lori offered, "I'll do it."
Lynn Jr. gasped, "You will?"
Lori nodded, "Mm-hmm. You go upstairs and keep yourself safe. Me, I've got this."
Lynn Jr. fist-pumped, "Alright, thanks Lori!"
Lori grumbled, "Don't mention it. Literally, don't mention it. I'm not doing this for you… I'm doing this for me."
Lynn Jr. replied, "I'll take it!", before slowly walking across the hall to return to her room to avoid the remaining grease on the carpet. But just as Lynn Jr. reached the house's stairwell, she yelped in fright when Luan appeared out of nowhere and jumpscared her. Luan quickly clasped her hand over Lynn Jr.'s mouth and told her, "We need to talk."
(Scene Change: Franklin Avenue)
As Rita and Lynn Sr. streaked down the street screaming, a tan full-sized sedan pulled up along side of them.
Rodney Spokes rolled down the window before asking Lynn Sr. and Rita with a quizzical look, "What are you doing?"
Lynn Sr. shuddered, "Luan. April Fools' Day."
Rodney nodded in understanding and told the Loud parents, "Get in," before unlocking his car doors.
Noticing the Loud parents trading glances, Rodney assured them, "I haven't heard from Luan in months. I swear."
The Loud parents traded glances once more before nodding and sitting in the back seat of Rodney's car. The sedan then took off before turning onto Main Street.
(Time Skip: 10 AM, Main Bathroom)
When Lucy finally recovered from her electrocution, she groaned in pain as she stood up from the bathtub and walked out. As Lucy peeked her head out from the shower curtains, she gasped before quickly climbing into the Loud House's vents to avoid Luan and Lori's wrath. When Lucy noticed the lights of her room, she crawled toward the light and tucked and rolled into her room. But when Lucy saw what her room looked like, she gasped in shock.
Lucy's room had been turned into a girly room. The walls, floor, and furnishings were completely covered with Lola's pink glitter. Even Edwin's hair, eyelashes, clothes, lips, and the base of his statue were covered in pink glitter. Lucy gasped and immediately ran to her glitter-covered bed. When she dusted her pillows, glitter burst out of every one of them, causing her to cough. Lucy also saw, in the corner of her room, that the photo album she had nearly burned was also covered in pink glitter.
Lucy ran over to it to see if Luan's pranks had damaged it. Upon opening the book, Lucy gasped in horror as she found that she had been photoshopped out of every single picture in the book.
When Lucy finished reading through her photo album, she dropped the book, took one last look around her room, fell to her knees, and yelled, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", before clenching her fists and trembling in rage. Lucy got up, grabbed her Edwin bust, and stormed out of the bedroom, only to be further horrified by what she saw in the upstairs hallway and on the wall next to the stairwell.
While walking downstairs, Lucy saw that any solo photos of her had been removed, and that all of the group photos she had taken with her family had been airbrushed to not show her in the picture.
She stormed over to a smirking Luan and Lynn Jr. at the bottom of the stairs, presented them the Edwin bust, and growled, "What? Did? You? Do? With? Edwin?"
Luan simply explained, "Lola wanted an extra room. So, we're giving it to her."
Lucy grumbled, "My room. Are you serious?"
Lynn Jr. laughed, "Your room?", before turning to Luan and asking her, "Umm… there's this strange creepy black-haired girl claiming that she has a room in our house."
Luan mockingly gasped, "A room? In our house? We have 9 girls here, how would we make room? Hahahaha, get it?"
Lucy groaned before pleading with Lynn Jr. and Luan, "I'm Lucy! Lucy Loud! I live here! My room is up there… in Lincoln's old closet!"
Lynn Jr. turned to Luan and asked her, "A closet? What closet?", before taunting, "What kind of girl would sleep in a closet?"
Luan smirked, "Beats me! Unless she's hiding something? Come on, girl, you gotta get out of there!", before she and Lynn Jr. hysterically laughed at Lucy.
Then, Lynn Jr. put her finger to her head in mock thought, "Hmm… a closet… a closet… where have I-", before gasping, "Oh yeah!" She then pulled out an Edwin bust and told Lucy, "Found this in that closet, by the way."
Lucy gasped, "No, Edwin-", before Lynn Jr. interrupted her, "You know, I would've gotten my sisters to play football with this thing, but then I remembered… I need a new touchdown celebration."
When Lynn Jr. held the Edwin bust over her head, Lucy gasped before growling at Lynn Jr., "Don't. You. Dare." However, Lynn Jr. completely ignored Lucy and spiked Edwin on the ground, smashing him to pieces.
When Lucy saw the pieces of Edwin scattered across the carpet, she gasped in horror before starting to cry as Lynn Jr. and Luan laughed in her face.
While recording Lucy crying, Luan mocked, "Looks like he's busted! Hahaha, get it?!"
Lynn Jr. chortled, "Oh, man. You should see the look on your face!", before breaking into more uproarious laughter with Luan.
Lucy snarled at Lynn Jr., "You've done it. You. Crushed. Edwin. Be warned, your punishment will be a thousand times a thousand deaths, each more horrible than the last."
However, Lynn Jr. and Luan laughed in her face for a few seconds before Luan pulled Lucy's actual Edwin bust from underneath the flower squirter on her shirt. When she did, she asked Lucy, "You mean, this Edwin?"
Lucy gasped, "You had Edwin this whole time?"
Luan and Lynn Jr. smugly nodded. Lucy then asked, "But what about the photos? Why did you take me out of them?"
Luan explained to Lucy, "Duh, because you're easy to miss! Everyone already ignores you so I wanted to play a joke to see how long people would go before they knew you didn't exist," to which Luan and Lynn Jr. continued to laugh.
In response, Lucy growled at them, "Piss off in the coldest, most constipated bowel of Hell!", before storming off to her room.
When Lucy had cleared the room, Luan and Lynn Jr. loudly laughed before Lynn Jr. mused, "Oh man, I wish we didn't sell Stinkoln's stuff so we could try this on him!" She then turned to Luan and asked her, "You recorded all this, right?"
Luan smirked, "Yup!"
Lynn Jr. suggested, "Put that up on YouClip! That's way too funny!"
Luan gasped, "Uploading a sister crying on YouClip?" She then beamed, "Lynn Jr., I never thought I'd see the day! First, you skateboarding through my grease floor, and now this! I've got to say… I underestimated you when you worked at Funny Business. You really stepped your game up!"
Lynn Jr. chortled, "You know it, Luan!"
Luan then told Lynn Jr., "Now, come on, let's prank the rest of these suckers together!", to which Lynn Jr. laughed, "Ho-ho-ho! Alright!" However, immediately after that happened, Luan noticed a rumbling in her stomach and groaned, "After I use the bathroom."
Lynn Jr. responded, "You do that, Luan!", as Luan walked off to join the bathroom line.
(Time Skip: 45 minutes later, Loud House Front Lawn)
Luan walked out of Lana's garage with a devious grin on her face behind her happy theater mask. Luan held a light brown paper bag filled with her poop in her left hand, and a large can of gasoline in her right hand. She looked both ways before crossing the street to reach the Crowley house.
When Luan saw Mrs. Crowley's beige sedan parked in the driveway, she evilly exhaled to herself, "Perfect," before running towards the Crowleys' front porch.
Once Luan arrived at the front porch of the Crowley house, she put the paper bag down by the front door before opening the gas can and lightly dousing the exterior of the house on the front and sides with gasoline, in addition to the area around the front door. As Luan doused the Crowley house in gasoline, she creepily chanted to herself, "A ella le gusta la gasolina! Dame mas gasolina! Cómo le encanta la gasolina! Dame mas gasolina!"
Once Luan drained the gas can, she ran back to the front porch while also making sure to avoid stepping on any areas she doused with gasoline. After doing so, she briefly looked through the Crowleys' living room window with her head tilted downward, her eyes peering upward from beneath the eyebrows, and a psychotic, toothy grin on her face. Then, Luan returned to face the door, lit a match, rang the doorbell, placed said flame on the gasoline-doused paper bag, and sprinted away from the scene as quickly as she could while madly cackling to herself.
(Scene Change: Dining Room, Loud House)
The Loud sisters were eating their breakfast when they saw the Crowley house burst into flames. They immediately dropped their eating utensils and jaws in absolute shock. A few sisters choked on their food, and a couple of glasses even spilled all over the dining tablecloth. But none of that mattered to the awestruck Loud sisters.
Luna muttered, "W-w-what t-the fuck?"
(Scene Change: Brian's Office, Sweetwater Manor)
The Silencers' jaws dropped in shock and horror when they saw Luan sprint away from the burning Crowley house while madly laughing to herself.
Lincoln stuttered, "S-s-s-she d-d-did i-it. S-she actually did it."
(Scene Change: Lisa's Bunker)
As the Crowley house burst into flames, Lisa and Lana, who caught a bright flash out of the corners of their eyes, immediately ran to the window to check the damage. When they saw Luan run away from the house, Lisa texted the Loud family group chat: "EMERGENCY SIBLING MEETING. My room. NOW."
Lana pulled out her phone, checked Lisa's text message, and nodded at Lisa before the two left their bunker.
When Lisa and Lana finally returned to their home, they noticed the Louds struggling to get out of their chairs in the dining room. A worried Lisa asked, "What happened to you poor homo sapiens?"
Lori grunted, "It's Luan! She literally super-glued us to our chairs!"
Lisa pondered, "Hmm… I think I, if not Lana, may have some acetone for that. Don't worry, I'll get you guys out of there," as the rest of her siblings continued to struggle to get out of their chairs.
(Time Skip: 45 minutes later, Lisa's Room)
Lisa started the meeting, "I suppose we all know why we're here. Luan's penchant for mischief has become lethal."
The rest of the Loud sisters yelled in agreement before Lucy popped out of nowhere and said, "As if it wasn't lethal already," jumpscaring the siblings.
The rest of the Loud sisters glared at Lucy while Luna yelled, "Lucy, what the hell?"
Lucy replied, "I'm just saying."
Lisa continued, "Anyway, we can no longer idly stand by and continue to let Luan endanger our lives and the lives of those around us."
Luna complained, "Dude, Luan turned my face purple and made my ears ring!"""
Lisa sighed, "Unfortunately, it appears as though even with my best methods, you'll be stuck like this for at least 24 hours. So in street lingo, play it cool."
Luna slumped in her seat while Lola yelled, "Look at what she did to my face! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE! GRR… I KNOW SHE SWAPPED OUT MY MAKEUP WITH SOMETHING!"
Lisa informed Lola, "If I may, it appears the makeup you've been given was sodium hypochlorite with a way higher bleach concentration than recommended."
Lola gasped, "That Luan must have subbed out my actual foundation WITH SOMETHING THAT BURNS MY FACE! THAT LITTLE SNEAK IS GOING TO DIE!"
Lori added, "Yeah, we literally had to use Lana's acetone just to get us unstuck from our dining room seats!" As the rest of the Loud sisters shouted in agreement, Lori added, "And as if that wasn't enough, we had to change our pants after Luan's brownie chair surprise," to which the rest of the Loud sisters grumbled in agreement.
Lynn Jr. snarled, "And that's not even counting what she did to me! A hot chili pepper in my vag? Really, Luan?" She then shuddered, "I think I'm staying away from spicy foods after that."
Lucy pointed out, "At least the cookies Luan made tasted good." When the rest of the Loud sisters glared at Lucy for her remark, Lucy flatly asked, "What?"
Lori sighed, "If you know Luan, we're literally paying for that at some point," before ripping a massive fart.
The rest of the Loud sisters groaned before they noticed their stomachs starting to feel bloated as well. Lola deadpanned, "Like that?"
Lori let out another massive fart before yelling, "IT WAS MY SHOE!"
Lana beamed, "Oh, sweet!", before letting out farts to the rhythm of Ode to Joy.
Lola scolded Lana, "EWWW! HAVE A LITTLE CLASS, LANA!"
While farting, Lisa also told the Louds, "And as if that isn't enough… it isn't even April Fools' Day."
The rest of the Louds gasped before yelling, "WHAT?!"
Lisa admitted, "Yeah, I would've told you guys. I reset my phone's atomic clock to the correct date… Monday, October 10, 2016."
Lori shrieked, "WHY DIDN'T YOU?!"
Lisa explained, "Judging by previous years, I thought you guys would be able to handle Luan's April Fools' pranks. Erm… in your own way, that is."
The rest of the Loud sisters growled at Lisa before Luna grabbed her by the collar and seethed, "Make. This. Right."
Lisa assured Luna, "That's why I called you all up here. To put an end to Luan's reign of terror," before sighing to herself, "at least for this year."
As Lisa started to walk towards her cupboard filled with chemicals, the rest of the Loud sisters gasped and chattered about how stopping Luan would be impossible.
Luna urged Lisa, "Dude, Luan's impossible to stop! You have to hide in your bunker every year because of what she does? Speaking of which-", before getting on her knees and begging Lisa, "PLEASE LET ME INTO YOUR BUNKER! I'LL DO ANYTHING! I'LL BE YOUR EXPERIMENT SLAVE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!"
The rest of the Loud sisters joined Luna in begging Lisa to stay in her bunker before Lori urged them, "Guys, calm down! This is literally not helping us! A killer Luan is on the loose!"
Lisa sighed, "I concur with our eldest sibling unit. Now, pipe down and listen to me… looking at you, Lynn."
Lynn Jr. burst, "Hey, what did I do?" But when Lynn Jr. noticed the rest of her sisters, particularly Lana, harshly glaring at her, Lynn Jr. mouthed, "Oh."
Lisa deadpanned, "Real insightful, Lynn," before telling the rest of her sisters, "Now, stay back and let me work."
The rest of the Loud sisters backed away from Lisa as they watched her put on her scientific gear and gloves. Once Lisa had her scientific lab coat with all of her necessary protective gear on, she used various stepping stools and chairs to reach the shelves she needed in her cupboard. As Lisa eyed a potted plant with green, heart-shaped leaves, she said to herself, "Aha," before pulling out the pot, closing the cupboard, and presenting it to her siblings.
Lynn Jr. scoffed, "A plant? What's that going to do against Luan?"
Lisa grumbled, "You should be happy to know that this is the dendrocnide moroides plant. Commonly known in Australia as the stinging tree."
Leni gasped, "A plant that stings?!", before yelping, "AAAAAH!"
As Lisa watched Leni fly into a frenzy, she deadpanned, "Wrong choice of words."
Lori sighed, "Leni, calm down." She then asked Lisa, "Now, what does this plant actually do?"
Lisa explained, "This plant, which we'll be calling the gympie-gympie plant from now on, is the most poisonous plant in the world. After contact with the plant, the victim will feel an immediate severe burning and stinging at the site of contact, which will intensify over the next 20-30 minutes and will last from hours to several days before subsiding. During this time, the victim may get little sleep because of the intensity of the pain. Severe cases may cause urticaria, street name, skin rashes, swollen lymph glands underneath the arms, and hospitalization. One person even killed himself due to the pain."
The rest of the Loud sisters gasped before Lucy muttered, "Let's do it."
Lisa asked Lucy, "What?"
Lucy repeated herself, "Let's do it. If this is what it takes to put an end to Luan's reign of terror… I'm all for it."
Lisa nodded, "Excellent. Glad you see it that way, grayscale sororal unit. Now, in order to set up this prank, we're going to need to set Luan up in a way that she needs to touch this plant."
Lana beamed, "OOH! OOH! I've got it!"
Lisa sighed, "What is it, Lans?"
Lana asked, "Paper comes from trees, right, Lisa?"
Lisa complimented Lana, "Astute observation, seventh-eldest sororal unit."
Lana suggested, "What if we made toilet paper out of this gympie-gympie plant?"
Lori shot Lana down, "Yeah… we literally don't have time for that. Especially with Lisa's crazy science equipment gone."
Lisa snarked, "Yeah. Gone. Explain what I was just able to pull. And keep in mind, I can use it on you."
Lori gulped before conceding, "Alright, you win, Lise. But how are we going to get Luan to use the toilet?"
Lisa smirked, "That's where you come in."
Lori gasped, "What? Me?!"
Lisa nodded, "Exactly, Lori BrownPants," causing the rest of the house to break into hysterical laughter while Lori blushed.
Lori yelled, "IT WAS MY SHOE!", causing even louder laughter amongst the rest of the Loud siblings present.
After Lisa calmed down, she instructed, "OK, now, eldest sibling unit, go to the pharmacy and buy some Colon Storm. You should be able to get it over-the-counter. Once you get the Colon Storm, hand it to me, and I'll blend it into a drinkable form," to which Lori responded, "You can literally count on me."
Next, Lisa told Luna, "Third-eldest sibling unit, I need you to take out a cream pie and the remaining cookies from the fridge. Lori can put the blended Colon Storm into them."
Luna assured Lisa, "Ready to rock, Lise!"
Lisa then told Lynn Jr., "Athletic sororal unit, you will throw the pie at Luan and force-feed her the cookies. But try not to overdo it. And remember… nothing super-spicy."
Lynn Jr. told Lisa, "Got it!"
Lisa then turned to Lucy and instructed her, "Grayscale sororal unit, you have a special role. You'll be our eye in the sky, watching for Luan, or any other intruders who will mess up our plan. Now, remember, if you fail, there will be grave consequences."
Lucy gulped before muttering, "Sigh."
Lisa then turned to Lola and Lana and instructed them, "Twin sororal units, you will be responsible for finding Luan, keeping her occupied until we're finished the pie, and luring her to our trap."
Lola asked, "But where the heck are we going to find Luan?"
Lisa suggested, "Try the Chortle Portal. Fanny's Prank Emporium might be closed today, but the Chortle Portal certainly won't be."
Lola and Lana groaned before Lisa offered, "If it makes you feel better, I can pull some strings with the Bluebell Scouts to give you a merit badge for this."
Lola and Lana gasped before squealing in excitement. Lana suggested, "Hey, what if I get some more raccoons to maul Luan?"
Lisa smirked, "Excellent idea, Lana! And for any other suggestions, honestly… just do what you do best."
Leni then raised her hand, "OOH! OOH! OOH!", before asking Lisa, "What do I do?"
Lisa sighed, "Just stay with me and try to stay out of trouble. And whatever you do, DO NOT tell Luan that it's NOT April Fools' Day. She wants April Fools' Day so bad… we'll give it to her."
Leni chirped, "Got it, Lise," before ruffling Lisa's hair.
Lisa then told her siblings, "Alright, now let's move out."
(Time Skip: 20 minutes later, Chortle Portal)
As Lola and Lana walked through the Chortle Portal, Lola complained, "Ugh… are you sure Lisa gave us the right place? My feet are killing me!"
Lana pleaded with Lola, "Look, Lisa's the smartest of any of us. Besides, this should be the first place we look."
Suddenly, a light flashed from the main stage, revealing a madly grinning Luan.
Luan waved at the twins, "HEYYYYYYY!", before laughing hysterically.
Lola and Lana smiled nervously and waved back, "Hey," before Lana stepped up and informed her, "Lisa told us we could find you here. Why don't you give us a comedy show? You know, every great prankster needs a break!"
Luan gasped before beaming, "Well, I thought you'd never ask! Come, my children, take a seat as I welcome you to the Luan Loud Show!"
Lola and Lana traded glances before cheering for Luan. But when Luan noticed Lola texting on her phone, she punned, "Hey, no phoning home in this show! Hahaha, get it?!"
Lola assured Luan through gritted teeth, "Almost done!", before firing off a text that read, "Luan doing a comedy show for us. We have all day, but she wants us to put our phones away".
Lisa replied, "Pies almost ready".
Lola and Lana both texted back thumbs-up emojis.
(Time Skip: 25 minutes later, Loud House)
As Luan, Lola, and Lana walked towards their house, Luan punned, "Well, that's all for the Luan Loud Traveling Roadshow! Hahaha get it? Thank you! Goodnight!"
Lola and Lana traded glances before Lola complimented Luan, "Umm… yeah…. great show Luan!"
Lana quickly added, "Uh… yeah! And now, get ready for your third act… inside the Loud House kitchen itself!", before running inside the Loud House.
As Luan followed them, she effused, "Ooh… no feeling like being the homecoming comedy queen! Hahaha… no… wait… the Master Comedy Chef! You know what they say, if you can't take the heat, step out of the kitchen! And I can take the heat!"
As soon as Luan arrived in the kitchen, she noticed it deserted and asked, "Hey, where did you guys go?"
In a split-second, Luan heard Lynn Jr. yell, "Hey, Luan!", from behind her. When Luan turned around and saw Lynn Jr.'s menacing smile, she gasped in shock before Lynn Jr. yelled, "CATCH!"
Lynn Jr. then threw a cream pie laced with liquid-blended Colon Storm at Luan's face, causing it to splatter all over her face and clothes. In response, Luan licked the pie off her face while smirking, "Well played, Junior," before being interrupted by Luna yelling, "HEY, SIS!"
Luna immediately emerged from the house's front foyer, and with her amp plugged into a nearby outlet, sound-blasted both Lynn Jr. and Luan with the loudest, hardest guitar riff she could find. While Lynn Jr. covered her ears in preparation, Luan did not, and the sonic waves launched her straight into the oven. When the oven opened, the raccoons from earlier that morning attacked and mauled Luan. As Lynn Jr. and Luna watched the raccoons maul Luan, they smirked to each other before Lynn Jr. told the sisters, "Alright, guys, it's go time!"
After Luna chimed in, "Let's rock this prankster bitch!", the rest of the Loud sisters sprinted to the kitchen, where the raccoons were mauling Luan.
As Luan got up, she turned around to see Lana holding some of Luan's tainted cookies in front of her. At once, the rest of the Loud sisters jumped on her and held her down, and Lana began to force feed Luan the Colon Storm-tainted cookies as Leni held Luan's mouth open.
Lana taunted, "That's it, girl! Chew! Chew! Swallow!"
Lola clawed Luan's face with her sharp nails, yelling at her, "YOU LIKE THAT?! YOU LIKE THAT?! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR RUINING MY FACE!"
As soon as Lana finished force-feeding Luan, she told her siblings, "Flip her over! Flip her over!"
The Louds immediately flipped Luan over so that she was lying on her stomach, and as they held her down, Lori grabbed a bucket of ice from the fridge and mocked, "Hey, Luan? This is literally for January!" Leni then lifted the collar of Luan's shirt as Lori poured ice down Luan's back, causing her to yelp, "AAAAAAAH! OH! SO COLD! SO COLDDDD! HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO-", before Lucy interrupted her and the rest of her siblings by emerging from out of nowhere and yelling, "Boo!", startling all of them and momentarily freeing Luan from her sisters' grasp. Luan was so startled by Lucy's sudden appearance that her stomach began to rumble. When Luan's stomach rumbled, she told her siblings, "LET ME UP! I'VE GOTTA GO!"
The rest of the Loud sisters let Luan up before Lisa smirked, "Indeed you do." At Lisa's remark, the rest of the Loud sisters haughtily laughed at Luan before following her upstairs to the main bathroom.
As the rest of the Loud sisters chased Luan, Leni asked Lisa, "Wait, what's so funny?"
Lisa whispered to Leni and her siblings, "I put invisible plastic wrap on the toilet bowl."
Leni whispered back, "What does that do?"
Lisa told Leni, "Just watch… or listen."
After Luan finally made it to the bathroom, she slammed the door shut before jumping onto the toilet seat. For a split-second, Luan let out a deep sigh of relief as she let her urine and diarrhea into the toilet. But when the toilet repelled both Luan's urine and diarrhea and shot the watery mix all over her body, she shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OH MY GOD! EWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
As the rest of the Louds listened to Luan's screams, they laughed hysterically, with some even rolling on the floor and laughing. Lori told her siblings, "I've literally got to capture this!", and slammed the bathroom door open with her phone in hand to videotape Luan's urine and diarrhea being sprayed all over her. Lori captured video for about 15 seconds before posting it on her SwiftyPic with the caption, "Payback on the family prankster! :P"
Naturally, the rest of the Loud sisters took their places behind Lori to watch Luan themselves, and when they saw what was happening to Luan, they burst into even louder, more hysterical laughter that lasted for the next couple of minutes.
When Luan finally finished relieving herself, she noticed the rest of her sisters laughing at her and taunted, "Clap. Clap. Clap. Well done, family, you got me. Now, let me clean up-", while reaching for the toilet paper. However, when Luan's ungloved fingertips touched the toilet paper, which had been laced with the extract from the gympie-gympie plant, she immediately yelped in pain, making the Loud siblings cackle even louder.
Luan was too overwhelmed by her pain to offer a retort. As Luan tried to push through the pain, grab the toilet paper, and clean herself up, a stinging pain quickly overwhelmed both her vagina and her anus, rendering it impossible for Luan to clean herself without searing pain.
Tears ran down Luan's cheeks as she begged to the heavens, "OH GOD! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"
In a futile attempt to make the pain stop, or to feel anything more than the pain she was feeling, Luan tried to rip her hair off. However, by doing this, Luan both spread the searing pain in her fingers to her scalp and covered her scalp in the urine and diarrhea that Luan had failed to clean up. Desperate for relief, Luan ran out of the bathroom and into her room to the laughter of her siblings. When Luan made it to her room, she found Mr. Coconuts and attempted to smear her urine and feces on him as a last-ditch attempt at pain relief by rubbing her vagina, anus, and buttocks against Mr. Coconuts. The rest of the Loud sisters were initially shocked and grossed out, but quickly resumed their laughter at each of Luan's pained cries. When Luan finished using Mr. Coconuts to clean herself up the best she could, she kicked it like a hacky-sack toy into her hands before throwing it out of her bedroom window, breaking both the window and her beloved puppet. This caused every Loud sister watching to start rolling on the floor and hysterically laughing as Luan broke down in tears.
A couple of minutes later, after everyone calmed down, Lisa sighed, "Alright, sibling units, let's start cleaning up. After we're done, I'll locate our parental units, and we'll track them down to let them know it's safe to come back in."
The Loud sisters traded uncomfortable glances, but decided to drop their concerns about the fact that their parents potentially still had tracking chips implanted in them for the moment.
Lucy then asked, "What about Luan?"
Lisa smirked, "Let sleeping monsters lie."
The rest of the Loud sisters, except for Luan, murmured in agreement before going off into different rooms to repair the damage from both Luan's pranking spree and their own revenge on Luan.
Closing A/N: This was a really hard chapter for me to write. I mean, it's one thing to write Luan's jokes and puns when she has all of her pranking supplies and comedy tools. But this fake "April Fools' Day"? Luan has none of her pranking supplies because they were all robbed by Marcus Quick, so Luan has to improvise with physical humor and whatever she could still find in the house. Oh, and Happy New Year, BTW!
