The next morning, everyone was now out of the forest, but the bad part is that everyone was now far away from their destination. "This is just great.", Lucy said, "Now we're far away from our goal.".
"Well, you think that's bad?", Lynn Jr asked, "I just had this nightmare about losing, and it's to a wrestling match with one of Bela's cronies.". Dracula, who was wearing a poncho and sombrero to protect himself from the sun, just laughed.
"It's not that funny!", Lynn Jr said, but Dracula kept on laughing, until Lynn Jr tackled him and they went into a tussle. "Will you two knock it off!", Mavis asked, but Drac and Lynn Jr kept blaming each other.
"Well, look at you two.", Mavis said, "We shouldn't be fighting, we should be working as a team.". "Sorry, honey bat.", Dracula said, "But I just find it funny, that the most sporty member of the Loud Family, is scared of those two misanthropic beings.".
"Well...", Lynn Jr said in a serious mood, "Are you scared of Morag and Bela?". "Of course not,", Dracula said, "I'm scarier than anybody we see in this forest.". "Yeah, right.", Lynn Jr said, before jokingly screamed, "Watch out! It's Morag! And she's gonna stab you in the heart!".
"Where?!", Drac said with fear, but this caused Lynn Jr to laugh instantly. "Scarier than anything, huh?", she soon asked, and teased, "You scaredy bat!". "Who are you calling 'scaredy bat', weakling.", Dracula teased back. "I'm no weakling, I'm strong and brave!", Lynn Jr backlashed.
"Says the same person who is afraid of losing complications, timeouts in football matches, cookie zombies, and of course, when you were young: rollercoasters.", Dracula said. "Uh, that was Luan who was scared of rollercoasters when she was younger.", Lori corrected.
"Doesn't matter!", Dracula said, "They are related!". "But... one happens to be more of a stand up comedian!", Murray added. "Whatever!", Drac said. "I mean compared me to Stinkoln!", Lynn Jr said, "He's a video gaming nerd, and I'm a athlete!".
"But you're both very egotistical, and very insecure!", Dracula teased. "No, I'm not!", Lincoln said, "Wait, I am.". "Well, I'm not!", Lynn Jr argued. "Yes, you are!", Drac said, but Lynn Jr argued back, "Uh-huh, sure...".
"You, Bela, and Morag are all ruthless killers!", she said. "Well, those two and I have opposite traits.", Dracula said, "I am a villain-turned-hero, and Morag is a hero-turned-villain.". "But what about Bela?", Lucy asked, to which Dracula said that he's was always a villain.
"In other words, even though you're tough, you are still afraid of at least one thing.", he continued, "And you know it.". "Yeah, right.", Lynn Jr said, "Same for you.". "No, I do not.", Dracula said, "I have no fears, because fear is for prey.". "Oh yeah?", Lynn Jr asked, "Like you're the main course for those bat cronies!".
"Are you calling me prey?", Dracula asked, but Lynn Jr asked something that offended Drac. "Say that again!", Drac said. "If... the fangs... fits.", Lynn Jr said. "You wanna tackle.", Dracula asked, to which Lynn Jr said, "Yeah, I wanna go!".
But before the two can tackle, Lincoln screams, "Stop!". "Mavis is right, we have to be a team!". "Why should we if she keeps annoying me?", Dracula asked.
"Well,", Lynn Jr said, "You're annoying me and condicinding me for being a coward!". "That's because you are, and I'm not.", Dracula concluded. "Well, you two are arguing because you're too similar.", Lincoln said, "No wonder why I disagree with Abraham's saying that opposites don't attract.".
"Well, I used to keep monsters away from humans, before I met Johnny.", Dracula said. "And for the record,", Lynn Jr interrupted, "I was never evil! The one thing we both agree on at this point, right?". "Well, I think I do, wimp!", Drac said.
At first, Lynn Jr got offended, but then said, "Yeah, that's not exactly how it works, as that name doesn't really hurt me that much anymore.", even saying that she could fake it, if that could make Drac more bloodthirsty.
"Oh, crud.", Dracula said, "I guess I'd call that saying very weird then.". "Uh, I think that's a bit too far, Drac.", Frank said, to which Drac said, "Just be quiet.".
But then, Leni, being a ditz asked, "Are you going to kiss?". This caused Lynn Jr and Drac to recoil, and say "What?!". "Why would you think that?", Dracula asked, to which Leni said, "Because, you two argue like you're a couple or something.".
"Well,", Dracula said, "You should know that my wife Ericka is in the group, and she might scold me for doing that. Plus, Lynn Jr's underaged and is totally in love with herself.". "What?!", Lynn Jr said, "I love my friends back at the sports club back at Royal Woods! I don't just love myself!".
"Well, what about the time you were arguing about the boys basketball team?", Drac said, and then laughed. "Well... I...", Lynn Jr stuttered before saying, "We were arguing about which team was better, and besides, it was a tournament.".
"Well, what about the time that you pulled out a heist with your friends?", Drac asked again. "That didn't count.", Lynn Jr said, with Leni saying, "I thought if you'd be in love with anyone, it'll be Blobby.". "You know that Blobby's asexual, right?", Lisa said.
"Uh, guys?", Johnny asked, "Why are you arguing? Didn't Lincoln and Mavis told you to stop?". "I would,", Lynn Jr said, "If Drac would quit being such a nuisance!", but Drac said that he was NOT a nuisance. "Oh really?", Lynn Jr asked.
"You'd be better off as a malicious carnivore like those other bloodsucking vampires!", Lynn Jr shouted, with Dracula now turning into a panther saying, "That's it! Now I'm mad!", and pounced towards her, before being stopped by Lola.
"Calm down!", Lola said, "Lynn Jr is just trying to push your buttons.", as she soon massaged the panther's body. "I know you're a good kitty. who's a good kitty, yes you are.", she said while petting. "Wow, that was easy.", Dracula said, all calm.
"Wait?", Dracula asked, "What was that weird noise I was making before?". "That's called purring.", Lola said. This caused Drac to experiment with his voice making cat noises. "Hey,", Leni asked, "Are you growing cat on your fingers?".
"He's already a cat,", Lisa said, "He's a panther!", but Leni corrected saying that she's talking about a house cat like Cliff. "Touche.", Griffin said, "But he's not turning into a house cat or growing paws, because he has no bellybutton gem! What do you think he is? A genie?". "Yes.", Leni said, to which Lisa said, "You're an idiot.". "Thank you.", Leni said, doing a chuckle.
"Well, now that everyone is calm now.", Mavis said, "Have you guys noticed that Dennis has been kinda been more stressed out than usual?". "What are you talking about?", Luan said, "Dennis is chipper, he has spunk, he's like a little superhero.".
"I think she's talking about how Dennis normally paces back and forth, and talking to himself.", Winnie interrupted, "Or as he likes to call it, his Thinky Think.". "That's oddly specific.", Wayne said. "I don't normally do things like this...", Lucy said, "But can I go check on him?".
"You should.", Mavis said with a calm expression, with Ericka adding in, "You two get along with each other.". "If you say so.", Lucy said, as she goes over to Dennis. "I hope she takes this seriously.", Abraham said. "Trust me.", Ericka said, "She does.".
"Hey, Denisovich.", Lucy said, walking towards her friend, and Dennis asked, "Yes, Lucy?". "Why are you pacing back and forth?", Lucy asked, "Winnie says that you're doing something called your Thinky Think.". "I'm not Thinky Thinking, I'm regular thinking.", Dennis corrected, now all worried.
"Okay?", Lucy said, "But still what are you thinking about anyway?". "Isn't it obvious?!", Dennis said, turning into his bat form, and flew into Lucy's face, "That Morag lady is still out there working for Bela.", he then turned back to his normal self.
"And if we don't do something soon...", he continued, "My Papa Vlad will know what happened!". "Well, I'm not worried like you, but I know one thing.", Lucy said, "No matter what happens, we'll find a way to stop Bela.".
"Well, Bela's my concern.", Dennis said, "Yours is with that Morag lady. Cebause, I didn't know she was evil to begin with.". "Well, what do you think we should do about it?", asked Lincoln. "I say we kill the both of them!", Abraham suggested, "Somehow.".
"What?! Are you crazy?", Leni asked, "There's gotta be a logical explanation of why they're working together.", even saying her idea, "I think we should take that evil agenda out of them, and push it somewhere else!". "You know,", Lisa said, "You are a genius!". "Really?", Leni asked. "Yeah, geniusly stupid!", Lisa criticized, "I'm with Van Helsing on this.".
"Wait a minute.", Dennis said, "Lincoln, you told about this guy named Angus, and he and Morag live in this place called Loch Loud.". "Yeah?", Lincoln asked. "Maybe Angus can reform Morag. I mean they used to be best friends, right?".
"Well, back then yes.", Lisa said, pulling out an old Loud family album, which showed Angus with Morag when they were young. "Look at those times they bonded.", she continued, "I'm sure that none of their memories will ever go to waste.".
"Well,", Lynn Jr backlashed, "They sadly will. Since Morag will stay evil, and Angus would have to execute her.". This caused Dennis to get agitated, "Guys,", he said, "I know Morag's evil, but maybe she won't be any longer. Don't make the same thing I did when I tried to get rid of Bela. I gave him a second chance, so why not do the same thing to her?".
"Because, she literally almost tried to kill us when she somehow made that springboard trap!", Lynn Jr said. "And there is a possibility that she'll go bucko and kill the rest of the world!", she said. "And plus, if I recall,", Lincoln added, "Bela and his cronies almost killed us one time.".
"Guys, let's not use that as an example!", Clyde coaxed, "This is very serious.". "Well, when this Weird-maggedon happens, McBride...", Dracula said, "It'll be just as serious as the Big Bang and a Thanos snap combined.".
"You don't even know what a Thanos snap is.", Clyde said, to which Dracula said, "Oh, right.".
"Guys, Dennis is right!", Winnie said, "We have to give Morag a second chance, even though she doesn't deserve it.", even saying that Morag might be hurt for some reason. "You know, you might be onto something.", Dennis said, "Morag might be dealing with something, Bela understands her, and they're using hurt to their advantage.".
Some people thought about it, and agreed, but others said, "Nah!". "We don't believe you.", Abraham said, "Why? Because of terms of the backstory... Angus did it, Angus did it, Angus did it!". "But Angus is different!", Lincoln said, with Abraham asking him, "How is Angus different, Lincoln?!".
"Well, he's a lot nicer than Morag normally thinks.", Lincoln said, even saying that Morag was lying to them the entire time. "In other words...", Abraham said, as he, along with Lori, Dracula, and Lynn Jr kept saying, "Angus did it.", which causes tensions within the group.
"Crap.", Mavis said all worried, "We may need to rejoin the group.". "Well, it could be worse right?", Lincoln asked.
Just then, a rain storm came out of nowhere, and caused a downpour. "You had to say that one line, didn't you?", Mavis asked, to which Lincoln said, "What, sometimes I'm unlucky.". Fortunately, the storm caused the others to stop arguing, well except for two.
"Did you have to do that?", Lynn Jr asked, with Dracula arguing back, "I can't manipulate the weather!". To make matters worse, Leni said, "The rain came by afte Linky said: 'Things couldn't be worse than you two arguing.'", which caused the storm to get worse.
"Say that a few more times,", Mavis told them, "And you're going to cause a hurricane!". "Sorry.", Leni and Lincoln said in unison. "Thanks, now I think we should find a dry place.", Lucy said.
"How about that spot over there?", Luan asked, pointing to a cave like structure. "Are you sure that's not a creature's mouth?", Luna asked, and Luan responded, "Have I ever been wrong, Luna?". "Whatever the prankster wants.", Wayne said.
Soon, everyone went into the cave, but it was too small that they got cramped. "Not enough leg room in here.", Frank said. "Well, maybe,", Lori said, "If you don't have a body that weigh 12000 pounds!". But then, the cave collapsed on them.
"Ooh!", Luan said, "It's a dark cave!". "No!", Lisa corrected, "It's a whale like monster!". Suddenly, the whale creature got out of the water, and blew water from his blowhole, causing everyone to be shot out and landed in a grassy field, far away from the lake.
"Did we get killed!", Leni asked, but Dracula said, "No, we're all fine.". "Dennis,", Lisa asked, "Can't you make like a protective barrier around us to keep us from getting soaked?". "Okay, I'll try.", Dennis said, "It may not last an hour.".
After the barrier is finished, Dennis said, "There, now we can stay dry.". Blobby, who was the most happy, jumped with joy, and everyone notices that he's collected so much rainwater in his body. "Uh, Blobby?", Dennis said, "You're kinda soaked.".
Blobby soon drained the water from his body, and he went back to normal, although he accidentally got Dracula and Lucy wet. "There, now everyone's happy...", Dennis said, until noticing the annoyed duo, "Except maybe you two.".
"You know,", Luan interrupted, "You two need to loosen up. And that's where me, Frank, Murray, and Blobby come in.", she said, as she told the group the they can temporarily distract them from this drama. "We can?", Frank asked, before saying, "Oh, we can!". Blobby jiggles with excitement.
"But how can you distract us?", Lisa asked, "We're stuck in the rain, with nothing to do!". "Really?", Luan asked, "You need some entertainment to get rid of that stress?". "Oh, no.", Lincoln said, "Is she going to sing the 'Fun, Fun, Fun' song again?". "What's the 'Fun, Fun, Fun' song?", Mavis asked.
"Oh,", Lincoln said, "It's this silly song that Luan sings all the time.". "Plus,", Lucy said, "It's kinda offensive.". However, Luan interrupted, "Maestro!", she said, and Frank, Murray, and Blobby played the music while Luan sings.
"I know it is wet, and the sun is not sunny. But we can have lots of good fun that is funny.", she started to sing. "It's fun to have fun, but you got to know how. I know lots of good tricks, and I'll...".
"Stop this right now!", Dracula said, as he soon explained, "You know, this song might be a waste of time.". "C'mon!", Luan said, "You're gonna listen to him? He's a blood sucker for crying out loud!". This offended Drac a bit, before Luan started to sing the next line of her song.
"There were these five kids, now where do I start. With one of them liking to do farts. One of them was messy, one liked shopping malls. And the male one went to a doctor, who cut off his b...", she sang. "Why did she stop?", Mavis asked Lincoln. "Well, let's just say that last word is kinda weird for a song.", Lincoln said.
"Boy!", Luan said before singing, "That wasn't fun, fun, fun. They never learned they can have fun, fun, fun. And you know why. They may ship you off to school so reign it in a little, we can't spell fun without U in the middle!".
"Okay, the more I think about it...", Ericka criticized, "This song might be offensive to a certain batch of siblings.". But then, Frank pulled his cellphone and said, "City Morgue!". "See what I mean?!", Ericka said, to which Luan started laughing, and resumed singing her song.
"There were these other five, who thought they knew it all. With one who like to text, that drives you up the wall. One is the pageants pet, one is the head of the class. And it took a bunch of TNT to kill the goth up her ah...", Luan sang.
"Lucy?", Dennis asked, "What was she about to sing?". "Dennis, there are certain words that people your age should not say.", Lucy calmly said, all annoyed. "But what was the word?", Dennis asked, however Lucy said, "Just ignore it.".
"Ask me, we're they fun, fun, fun? Not a chance you can't have fun, fun, fun. If you're uptight. So loosen up can loose those lists, life isn't such a riddle. You can't spell fun without U in the middle.", Luan sang, with Frank and Murray singing, "F, U, N, fun!".
Soon, she continued, "You can juggle, work, and play, but you have to know the way. You can keep afloat a wish, like the way I do this fish. You can be a happy fella, someone throw me that umbrella, and that rake, that cake. Life's what you make it.".
Frank and Murray even joined in the chorus, "So have fun, fun, fun! Go insane and have some fun, fun, fun. Just look at me! Fun, fun, fun! No more rain look it's the sun, sun, sun! So can't you see? I'm as happy as a clam, I'm as fit as a fiddle. Man, some kids might talk about you, while others might doubt you. But remember this you can't have fun without U in the middle!!!".
After Luan's song was over, Abraham boredly clapped and said, "Bravo Luan. I think almost everyone here isn't dumb to fall for your MTV style flash of expensive content for temporary escapism.". "Well,", Winnie said, "At least the rain stopped.".
"Wow. That was kinda catchy.", Dennis said. "Thanks Dennis!", Luan said, "I'm glad you liked it!". "That song wasn't really the best though.", Dracula said, with Mavis adding, "Yeah, I agree, but it is entertaining somehow.".
"I appreciate you're trying to help and all,", Wayne said, "But let's just focus on the task of hand, okay?". "I agree.", Ericka said. "And if you don't mind, you SHOULD reframe from these distractions.".
"Distractions?", Luan said, "It's a five star, extravaganza, VIP exclusive show! It's supposed to soothe from the stress.". "Yeah!", Frank said, "It's almost we WERE going to distract you from the stress.", before realizing that the group were distracted.
"No, it's fine.", Lucy said, pulling out the map, "Let's just keep going. That Weird-mageddon nonsense that Bela and Morag are talking about starts in a few weeks.". "I'm with Lucy here.", Dennis said, as the two walked off and the others follow.
"Well, the weird part is...", Clyde said, "That's my first time hearing that song.". "But we should get going.", Lincoln said, with Clyde agreeing, doing a fist bump.
While going down a dirt path, Abraham said, "You know I still have my doubts that those two would work as leaders.". "But didn't you already give them a chance, Van Helsing?", Lisa asked. "Yes, I did.", Abraham said, "And so far, they are this close to blowing it, and soon, one of them realizes that it's all just a pipe dream!".
"You're being a bit faithless, Great-grandfather.", Ericka said, "You said, you'd never doubt Drac again, but now you're doubtful about Lucy and Dennis?". "Well, at least the brainiac agrees that Lucy and Dennis won't work out as leaders.".
"That's because,", Lynn Jr said, "One of them is a grumpy pants, just like you!". "Well, you're one to talk!", Abraham backlashed, which offend Lynn Jr. "Ha! You just received a savage comeback!", Drac teased. "Well, you're grumpy too, you know!", Lynn Jr backlashed back.
"But not as grumpy as you are.", Drac argued, with Lynn Jr saying that she doesn't go out in the woods catching deer for food, but when Drac said if the jock had anything else to say, she said, "You wanna get pummeled.". "Gee,", Mavis said, "They really need to settle their differences.".
But then, Dennis said, "GUYS, OVER HERE!", with Winnie asking, "Are we close?". "Not yet!", Dennis said, "But take a look at this!". "What can possibly distract us now?", Lynn Jr asked, as Dennis shows everyone the surprise, which was a sunset.
"So? What do ya think?", Dennis said, as he and the rest of the group, excluding Mavis and Dracula look at the sunset. "Eh.", Lisa said, to which Dennis asked everyone, "How can you not enjoy this?".
"Dennis,", Mavis said, who in under a tree with Dracula. "We all know you can't burn up, because you're half human. But know only that, the setting sun means one thing: it'll be dark soon. And if you haven't noticed son, we're in the middle of nowhere!". But Dennis said that it was the best part of being nowhere, right in the middle.
"We're sitting ducks out here!", Lori said, "There's no food, no Wi-Fi, and those villains we were in that forest back there, so they probably might come back for us!". "Or they probably won't!", Leni interrupted, with Lori asking how.
"They may assume we're going to die on our quest.", Leni said, "But, what they don't know, is that we have two leaders on our side, which are Denisovich Dracula Loughran, and wait for it... drumroll please... Lucy Loud!".
"Aww!", Dennis said with happiness, "That's so sweet!". "Yeah, that so-called sweet, but we may need a place to hide for a few days.". "Yeah, It's like we're not going to the nearest motel near us!", Wayne said, but Dennis interrupted, "We can stay in that one.
There was literally a sign for a motel right in from of them in the distance. "Why didn't you tell us there was a hotel in the first place.", Wayne asked, with Dennis saying, "Cebause, I didn't want you guys to miss the sunset!".
"Well, motel it is.", Lincoln said, with Murray saying, "Finally, because I'm getting pretty tired.". "Are you sure staying there's a good idea?", Lola asked. "Well, it's not in the direction the map is showing us, but then again it is a shortcut.", Lucy said.
"Great job, Denisovich!", Lucy said, "You really are a helpful lad.". Dennis blushed a bit. "So, did anyone got any money for the check-in?", Clyde asked, but Dennis said that he and Lucy got it all covered.
