Well, here it is... Lori and Bobby are planning to move out. This seems like the end of an era for the Loud family, and Ronnie Anne doesn't seem to be very happy about it.
Sorry that it took so long. I was kinda stuck in a rut figuring out how to continue. But I think I got it.
Again, I would like to thank DukeyDukeyDoo and Mike The Red Engine for helping me proofread.
Chapter 24: Pranksmastime Is Here
[Immediately after Lincoln and Ronnie Anne's exit, the rest of Lori's siblings kept staring at her and Bobby.]
Leni: "But...don't you like living here? I don't understand?"
Lana: "Yeah! What are we supposed to do without you?"
Rita: "Now, kids, let's just hear her out."
Lori: "Guys...I can't stay here forever. Eventually, a bird's otta leave the nest when they are old enough. We just need to pack up our things before moving out. Don't worry, I'll come to visit you often...or vice versa."
Lola: "You guys aren't thinking about leaving now, are you?"
Lori: "Not yet... I want to make my final days with my family last until the new year starts...and I have a few ideas of some places I can take you all to after school. Of course, we would also need to stop by the bank to get my check cashed and run a few errands."
[The siblings just looked at each other. Lori then looked at Leni and Luna.]
Lori: "Luna...can I count on you and Leni to look after our family while I'm away?"
Luna: "No problemo, big sis. We got this! Don't we, Lens?"
Leni: "I don't know if I can. What if I start a repeat of the first time you left?"
[Rita walked over to Leni and put her hand on her shoulder.]
Rita: "That's not gonna happen, Leni. Your father and I are going to make sure of it."
Lynn Sr.: "That's right. We'll be there for you, and so will the rest of your siblings."
[Leni simply smiled at her parents. Lynn Sr. then stood up and clapped his hands.]
Lynn Sr.: "Alright, fam! Let's all get ready for bed because we have a long week ahead of us!"
[Upstairs, Ronnie Anne sat on Lincoln's bed with her knees to her chest. Lincoln knocked on the door before walking in.]
Lincoln: "Ronnie Anne...are you feeling okay?"
[Ronnie Anne said nothing.]
Lincoln: "Look...I..."
[Ronnie Anne quickly turned her head at Lincoln with a look of anger.]
Ronnie Anne: "Why do Lori and Bobby always think that we're a couple?!"
[Lincoln was quite taken aback by Ronnie Anne's outburst while the Hispanic girl calmed herself down.]
Ronnie Anne: "I'm sorry, Lincoln. I just don't want to talk about this right now."
Lincoln: "It's okay, Ronnie Anne. I know how you feel about all of this."
[Lincoln sighed.]
Lincoln: "I just wish there was a way to get them to stop pestering us about this whole couple thing."
[Ronnie Anne thought for a moment until she came up with an idea.]
Ronnie Anne: "Hey, Lincoln. Do you remember last April Fools' Day when you set off all of Luan's pranks for me?"
Lincoln: "Yes?"
Ronnie Anne: "Well, I think I know how we're gonna spend Bobby and Lori's last days at home. Wait right here, Lame-O. I'll be right back."
[With that, Ronnie Anne got off the bed and went out of the room. Lincoln remained on the bed for about five minutes until Ronnie Anne came back in followed by Luan. The prankster sat on the far end of the bed while Ronnie Anne sat next to Lincoln on the other side.]
Luan: "So, Ronnie Anne tells me that you guys have a teasing problem with Bobby and Lori?"
Lincoln: "Exactly... But, aren't you on this bandwagon as well?"
Luan: "Well...I only agreed to help you guys if Ronnie Anne became my assistant at Funny Business Inc. every weekend if she stays...or maybe every month if she decides to move in with Bobby and Lori."
Lincoln: "Help us? I'm not so sure about that."
Ronnie Anne: "Don't worry about it, Lame-O. She's on our side on this one."
Luan: "She's right, you know. I got a hot tip from Lori that she and Bobby will be spending time together at certain places during the next four days. I can tell you where they're going if you and Ronnie Anne team up to prank them."
Lincoln: "Me and Ronnie Anne? Prank Bobby and Lori? Doesn't that sound like your kind of business, Luan?"
Luan: "True...but you know what they say... There's no business like funny business."
[Luan laughed while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne groaned.]
Luan: "Anyway, from what Ronnie Anne here told me, she pranked Bobby back when their parents were still around."
Ronnie Anne: "It's true... I used to prank Bobby a lot since I was a little girl...before my father decided to put a stop to it all."
Lincoln: "Was that the reason why you started pranking me at school?"
Ronnie Anne: "Sorta... Anyway, now that Bobby and Lori are planning on moving out, I think now's our chance to teach them a lesson. You know, get back at them for teasing us and calling us a couple numerous times."
Lincoln: "But how do we even know where they're going?"
Luan: "That's what I'm about to tell you guys...right now."
[Luan then crawled over to Lincoln and Ronnie Anne before whispering into their ears. The two twelve-year-olds listened with interest as Ronnie Anne pulled out a notepad and pencil.]
[From what Luan had told them, starting on Tuesday, Bobby and Lori were going to lunch with the family at Gus' Games and Grub after school before getting a new car at the car lot. Next, on Wednesday, Bobby and Lori were going to have some fun at Ketcham Park. Then, on Thursday, the couple were going to have the time of their lives at the winter festival. Finally, on Friday, Bobby and Lori were going to have dinner at Jean Juan's French-Mex Buffet before making final preparations to move out by the end of the month. As Luan explained the details, Ronnie Anne wrote down every single one. Using this information, she could come up with all sorts of ideas for pranks to pull on Bobby and Lori.]
Luan: "You have until New Year's Eve Sunday to pull everything off before Bobby and Lori make their final preparations to move out."
Ronnie Anne: "Got it."
Luan: "Just be careful not to do your usual pranks, or they might get suspicious... Also, please try not to do anything that could harm the baby."
Ronnie Anne: "What do you take me for? A sociopath? Of course, I'm not gonna hurt the baby."
Luan: "I know you won't... I just don't want to you to raise any Hanky Pranky hullabaloo..."
[Luan laughed while her brother and Ronnie Anne groaned.]
Luan: "Okay! I think that's enough joking for the day. Anyway, I'd better head back to bed... Goodnight, you two...and Happy Pranking."
[And with that, Luan left the room and shut the door.]
Ronnie Anne: "Alright, Lame-O. Time to get some sleep... We need all the energy we need to pull this off."
[Lincoln knew that there was more to this, but he decided not to say anything else and went to bed with Ronnie Anne.]
The next day, at Gus' Games and Grub...
[Lori was sitting at a booth with her sisters waiting for their food while Lincoln was playing with Ronnie Anne at the arcade. Lori had cashed her check shortly before she decided to take her family out to lunch.]
Ronnie Anne: "So...how are you holding up, Lame-O?"
Lincoln: "I don't know, Ronnie Anne. I mean, I know it was only a matter of time until Lori was ready to move out, but... Things aren't going to be the same without her. What about you?"
Ronnie Anne: "Well...my brother kinda has a point...we don't want to be a burden on your family. Also, it was Lori's decision to move out with Bobby, not his."
Lincoln: "But are you guys going to do okay living on your own? I mean, the last time Lori moved out, your father tried to attack her."
Ronnie Anne: "Along with me and Bobby."
Lincoln: "Right."
Ronnie Anne: "Well, there's nothing that can be done to change that. I just wish that I could keep both of you guys. Bobby's the only real family that I have left."
Lincoln: "But what about us? Aren't we like your family as well?"
Ronnie Anne: "Of course you are... You guys are like the in-laws we never had."
[Lincoln sighed.]
Lincoln: "We're still gonna be in contact with each other, right? That is...if you decide to leave."
Ronnie Anne: "I do not doubt that we will. Plus, I have no doubt that today's lunch is gonna be a hot one."
[At the table Lori was talking to her sisters about her plans.]
Leni: "So...why are we going to the car lot again?"
Lori: "Because we need to get a new car, Leni. I literally told you about it last night."
Leni: "Why? Don't you like Vanzilla?"
Lori: "Of course I do! I mean Bobby and I want to get our own vehicle before we move out."
Leni: "Oh... But who's gonna drive us to our favorite spots when Mom and Dad aren't around?"
Lori: "Leni... You have your driver's license, don't you?"
Leni: "Of course! Why do you ask?"
Lori: "You're gonna be behind the wheel of Vanzilla when I leave."
Leni: "Oh! Yes! Of course, I knew that!"
Lisa: "Not to insult your intelligence or lack thereof, but I highly doubt you were able to process that thought, second eldest sibling."
Leni: "What does that mean? No really, what does that mean?"
[Just then, Bobby walked up to the table wearing his work clothes and was holding an extra-large pizza.]
Bobby: "Here you go, Louds. One extra large moving day special with eleven root beers for the whole family."
[Bobby placed the pizza in the middle of the table and looked at Lori.]
Bobby: "And a little something extra for you, babe."
[Bobby leaned forward and gave his girlfriend a smooch on her cheek, making her giggle.]
Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear."
Luna: "Careful, dudes? There's kids around here, you know?"
[Just then, the manager called out to Bobby.]
Manager: "Santiago! Get back to work!"
Bobby: "I'm coming!"
[Lori and her sisters all took their slices of pizza and raised them up before taking a bite of them. But as they did, their mouths were suddenly burning, with the exception of Lynn, who was enjoying hers. Lori then gulped down her cup of root beer and sighed, while Ronnie Anne couldn't help but giggle and snicker at the pregnant blonde's misfortune. Lincoln, on the other hand, felt a bit worried that the rest of his sisters had to be subjected to this prank, but still gave off a slight chuckle.]
Lori: "Holy hell! Is this hot sauce and chili flakes?!"
Lynn: "I don't know... But my slice could use more of that stuff."
Lola: "Easy for you to say! Who is responsible for this! I demand to see the manager!"
[Lori then stood up and raised her hands.]
Lori: "Calm down, Lola! I will go speak to Bobby about this mistake."
[Just then, Lori's stomach started rumbling before she clenched it in pain. Clearly, those spicy ingredients weren't giving her a break.]
Lori: "Right after I use the bathroom!"
[Lori then got out of the booth and ran into the bathroom.]
[Shortly after everyone has had a full stomach or had plenty of fun at the arcade, the family went to the car lot to get a new vehicle for Bobby and Lori.]
[When they got there, the teen couple got out of Vanzilla and spoke to the manager. After taking a tour around the lot, the young couple found a white somewhat luxury SUV at the cost of fifty-thousand dollars. Rita was quite impressed with her daughter's choice as was Lola.]
Rita: "Are you sure this is what you want?"
Lori: "Of course, Mom. It literally has a place to charge up our phones."
Rita: "Alright. Just be careful not to fawn over your new car as your father did."
[Lynn Sr. gave his wife a smirk after hearing what she said.]
Lynn Sr.: "Fawn's kind of a big word, isn't it?"
Lori: "Don't worry about me, Mom and Dad... If there's anything that's top priority, it's my baby."
[Lori put her hands on her stomach and rubbed it lovingly while Bobby wrapped his arm around her waist and touching her hand. Lynn Sr. and Rita looked at each other and smiled, knowing that their eldest daughter's heart was in the right place.]
[Shortly after the vehicle was paid for, Bobby looked over at his sister.]
Bobby: "Nie-Nie?"
[Ronnie Anne walked over to Bobby.]
Bobby: "How would you like to take a ride in our brand new car?"
[Ronnie Anne stared at her brother in confusion.]
Ronnie Anne: "Right now?"
Bobby: "Lori and I just want to make sure that you're comfortable riding in this thing...if that's okay with you."
[Ronnie Anne shrugged before joining her brother and his girlfriend in the SUV. Bobby then drove off towards home while the rest of the family followed in Vanzilla.]
[On the way to the Loud house, Lori looked at Ronnie Anne through the mirror.]
Lori: "So? What do you think of this luxurious SUV?"
Ronnie Anne: "It's...unusual compared to Vanzilla."
Lori: "Well, just wait until Lincoln takes a ride in this. I think he'll be super jealous since he'll be stuck with Vanzilla when he grows up."
[Ronnie Anne responded with a slight chuckle.]
Ronnie Anne: "I can only imagine."
That night, at the Loud House...
[After the family had dinner, Bobby joined Lori in her and Leni's room to search for a new apartment on her phone. After about thirty minutes of scrolling through the selections, they found a nice apartment complex a few miles north.]
Lori: "There it is, right there. Carlisle Park Apartments."
[Bobby and Lori looked over the details. Each apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room.]
Bobby: "This looks like a good find."
Lori: "It's better than good. I think it's literally a great place to raise our little bumblebee."
[Bobby wrapped his arm around Lori's waist and put his hand on her baby bump.]
Bobby: "Well... It's no fancy mansion, but I think it's a good place to start our new lives for a while."
[A few minutes later, after everyone went to sleep, Ronnie Anne snuck into Lana and Lola's room and came out five minutes later with some jars filled with mud. She then took the jars downstairs and into the basement where Lincoln was waiting.]
Lincoln: "Are those Lana's Mud Jars?"
Ronnie Anne: "Si."
Lincoln: "Isn't she gonna notice that they're gone?"
Ronnie Anne: "You worry too much, Lame-O. We settled on a deal. Now go get some buckets and shovels so we can get started."
[Lincoln nodded and left the basement. Two minutes later, he came back with two buckets and two shovels. After filling up the buckets with mud, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne snuck out to the front of the house and walked next to the SUV. Ronnie Anne and Lincoln looked at each other with sly looks on their faces. Lincoln then turned to the readers, using his toy shovel as a microphone.]
Lincoln: "And now, here to deliver the Overnight Weather Report is Ms. Ronalda Anne Santiago... What's the weather forecast, Ms. Santiago?"
Ronnie Anne: "Well, Mr. Loud... Tonight's forecast calls for a one-hundred percent chance of freezing, cold snow along with a one-hundred percent chance...of mud."
[With their shovels in hand, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne went around the SUV, splattering globs of mud until the whole vehicle looked like a polka-dotted piece of artwork...if that masterpiece was covered in mud.]
Lincoln: "So...what do you think?"
[Ronnie Anne looked over the mud-stained SUV and smiled confidently.]
Ronnie Anne: "I think it looks perfect. We may not be creative artists, but I think this will get their attention."
[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne went back into the house to turn in for the night.]
The next day...
[Lori woke up and got ready before heading downstairs for breakfast. As soon as the family was finished, they headed outside. To Lori's horror, she gasped when she saw frozen mud spots all over her SUV.]
Lori: "Oh my God! Who literally got mud all over Cathy?!"
Leni: "Like...who's Cathy?"
Lori: "My car! Who did it?!"
Lana: "Well, it wasn't me, if that's what you're implying... I don't usually play in the mud at night. Although I DO keep jars of it to last through the winter. I bet Lola tried to throw it all away!"
[Lana pointed her thumb at her twin, who was feeling quite appalled.]
Lola: "Why would I want to get your icky mud collection all over Lori's new car?!"
Lana: "I don't know... Maybe it's because you lost the bet!"
Lola: "Hey! I gave you the money fair and square, didn't I?! So don't assume that I would have anything to do with that slop, let alone throw it on that fancy car!"
[Seeing how school was starting soon, Lori didn't have time to investigate any further and whistled to put a stop to the argument.]
Lori: "I don't know who did it, but whoever it was is literally in big trouble when I find out."
[Lori grumbled and marched angrily into her SUV as Bobby drove her, Leni, Luna, and Luan to their school. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were hiding behind the couch as they watched Lori's reaction to their mud-slinging prank. Ronnie Anne offered her fist for Lincoln to bump and the white haired-boy gladly accepted.]
Later, at Royal Woods Elementary...
[Shortly after the school bell rang, everyone was ready to head home. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne walked outside among the crowd and saw the familiar SUV driven by Lori with Bobby sitting next to her and her three teen sisters sitting in the second-row seats. The teen couple's siblings then got in the third-row seats before Lori drove towards Ketcham Park... All the while, a certain red-haired boy watched them leave with a look of contempt.]
Lori: "So, how was school?"
Lincoln: "Pretty good, now that you mention it."
Bobby: "Okay, so what did you do?"
Lincoln: "Let's just say that Ronnie Anne and I have been working on a special project together."
Lori: "Well, that's really nice of you... Forgive me for being curious, but, what kind of...special project are you guys working on, exactly?"
[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne looked at one another before the latter cleared her throat.]
Ronnie Anne: "We'd rather not say. It's top secret."
[Bobby and Lori looked at each other, but decided to change the subject.]
Lori: "So, Lincoln... What do you think of this SUV?"
Lincoln: "It's...not the first time I've been in a luxury vehicle."
Lori: "Oh, right. Did Lincoln ever tell you about the time he won a limo for a day by eating a bunch of mustard?"
Ronnie Anne: "Of course he did. I'm surprised he didn't get a tummy ache from that experience."
Leni: "But he did end up making a fool of himself after hanging out with Lord Tetherby."
Ronnie Anne: "Ugh...Tetherby... You know, I never really did like that rich old idiota."
[Finally, the group arrived at Ketcham Park. Bobby got out first before letting Lori out, and then letting Lincoln and Ronnie Anne out as well. On the way to the picnic area, Ronnie Anne dragged Lincoln behind a nearby tree.]
Lincoln: "Are you sure we have to do this, Ronnie Anne?"
Ronnie Anne: "Of course I'm sure, Lame-O. Besides...after all that teasing, I'd say they'll soon be walking on thin ice."
[With that, Ronnie Anne walked over to the lake and Lincoln followed suit. When they got there, they saw that the lake was frozen, and there was a sign that read 'DANGER: THIN ICE'.]
Ronnie Anne: "Come on, Lincoln. Help me lift this thing."
[Lincoln sighed and helped Ronnie Anne light the sign. After a few seconds, the two kids lifted the sign out of the snow and buried it. They then hid behind the tree as Bobby and Lori approached the lake. Lori looked over at the lake before turning towards her boyfriend]
Lori: "Are you sure this lake safe?"
Bobby: "I'm sure it is, babe. If it wasn't, there would've been a sign there to warn us about it."
Lori: "Well, even so, I can't skate in my condition."
Bobby: "Don't worry about it, Lori. Just have a seat and prepare to be amazed."
[With that, Bobby helped his girlfriend down on the snow. He then put on his skates and walked onto the frozen lake. Bobby then started skating on the ice while Lori began videotaping him using her cell phone. The Latino did a few twirls, much to his girlfriend's amazement.]
Lori: "Wow! You're really good at this."
[However, after making a figure eight, the ice suddenly cracked and Bobby fell right through it, much to Lori's shock. Lori was about to call for help, but Bobby emerged from the frozen water and back onto the ice, shivering as he crawled back over to his girlfriend and baby mama. As this was going on, Ronnie Anne snickered at the sight of her brother's ice-cold condition while Lincoln watched with a look of concern. Ronnie Anne offered her fist to Lincoln, but he was feeling a bit iffy. So Ronnie Anne decided to punch the boy's arm instead, much to his dismay.]
Lori: "Are you okay, Boo-Boo Bear?"
Bobby: "I-I-I-I'm ok-k-k-k-kay, b-b-b-babe!"
[Bobby then laid his head on Lori's lap and felt her warm hand touch his forehead. The Latino then placed his hand on his girlfriend's cheek and looked into her eyes.]
Bobby: "Th-Th-Thanks, L-L-Lori! Y-You r-r-really k-know how t-t-to w-warm my h-heart...d-d-d-don't you?"
[Lori smiled warmly and lifted her boyfriend's head before planting her lips on his. The Hispanic teen felt his heart melt as he felt his lover's tongue battling his own. He then put his hands on Lori's shoulders as they made out. Ronnie Anne simply made a grimace before grabbing Lincoln's hand and dragging him back to the car.]
Ronnie Anne: "Let's go, Lame-O!"
That night, in Lori and Leni's room...
[Lori arranged a sibling group meeting in her and Leni's room. Bobby stood next to Lori while her siblings and Ronnie Anne sat on the floor listening intently.]
Lori: "Okay, so I've called this meeting here because last night, Bobby and I have found the perfect place to raise our family."
[Lori then pointed at the details on a chalkboard beside her. On the chalkboard was a drawing of Carlisle Park Apartments.]
Lori: "This place has a living room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms...one for me and Bobby...the other for the baby."
Leni: "But, what's going to happen to your old bed?"
Lori: "Ronnie Anne will be sleeping in here with Leni if it comes to that. No sense in letting my bed be left unused, right?"
Lisa: "Not to interrupt, but what if Ronnie Anne doesn't want to stay here with us?"
Lori: "Maybe my half of the room can be a guest room if Ronnie Anne decides to leave."
Leni: "But, I'm not really used to sharing my room with anyone else but you."
Lori: "Well, the baby won't be born for a few more months. If Ronnie Anne wants to move in with us, she can always have her own room...I just hope she'd be willing to share it with the baby."
Bobby: "And we're still waiting for her to come to a decision by New Year's Eve. We just need to give her a little more time."
[Shortly after the meeting was over, everyone decided to get some sleep. However, Ronnie Anne motioned for Lincoln to follow her outside the house.]
Lincoln: "What is it now, Ronnie Anne? We've got school tomorrow."
Ronnie Anne: "Just follow me, okay? We're gonna do a little shopping."
Lincoln: "At Ten o'clock at night? Aren't most of the stores closed by now?"
Ronnie Anne: "Not Flip's. He's open 24/7. C'mon, Lame-O. You can sleep all you want if you do me this one little favor."
[Lincoln sighed and followed Ronnie Anne into town.]
[After walking for what seemed like twenty minutes, they finally arrived at Flip's. Ronnie Anne told Lincoln to wait outside before she put her hood up and walked into the store where she was greeted by Flip.]
Flip: "Well, well, well... What can ol' Flip do for ya at this time of night, eh?"
[Flip chuckled while rubbing his thumb and middle finger together.]
Ronnie Anne: "Listen, Flip... A friend and I are working on a special project and we need some supplies. Would you mind hooking us up with something?"
Flip: "That depends... Whatcha got in mind?"
[Ronnie Anne looked around until she saw some cartons in the freezer case.]
Ronnie Anne: "Well... You got any leftover jugs of eggnog?"
[Flip moved his eyes left and right before looking back down at the hooded girl and whispering to her.]
Flip: "Eh...yeah... Just so happens that I do...kinda... But, uh...they haven't quite been used ever since the holidays went by. Some of 'em were left out in the sun for too long, so they're spoiled, rotten, expired, etcetera, etcetera. Ya get what I mean."
Ronnie Anne: "Perfect! We'll take about as many jugs with the most spoiled, rotten, expired eggnog that you've got."
Flip: "You want 'em? Take all of 'em! I've been needin' an excuse to toss 'em all out since Christmas has passed. I also got a big ol' wheelbarrow out in the back that you can borrow.
Ronnie Anne: "Thanks. We're gonna need some balloon packets as well."
Flip: "I'm gonna stop you right there, kid! Those are gonna cost ya extra! Dat'll be ninety-nine cents a pack, so you ain't getting anything else for free!"
[Ronnie Anne groaned as she handed Flip a five-dollar bill before they both set to work carrying ten jugs of eggnog to the wheelbarrow outside.]
[When the last jug was loaded, Ronnie Anne was just about to leave when Flip stopped her.]
Flip: "By the way, dat wheelbarrow's a rental. I want it back by tomorrow night or I'm charging you for it...big time."
Ronnie Anne: "No problem..."
[Ronnie Anne then muttered three words under her breath as she pushed the wheelbarrow.]
Ronnie Anne: "...you cheapskate fatass..."
[Flip didn't hear as she was out of range.]
Flip: "Remember, kid! Tomorrow night, or I'm chargin' ya...with interest!"
[Ronnie Anne pushed the wheelbarrow to the front of the store where Lincoln was still waiting.]
Ronnie Anne: "Lincoln, could you give me a hand?"
[Lincoln nodded before helping Ronnie Anne push the wheelbarrow all the way back to the Loud House. When they got there, they parked the wheelbarrow it in the backyard and covered it up with tarps so that the jugs of eggnog would stay warm overnight. Lincoln then yawned and stretched his arms.]
Lincoln: "Well, that was a long night. What do you say we get some rest? I'm a little bit overdue."
Ronnie Anne: "Good idea, Lincoln. We've got a lot of work to do tomorrow."
[With their supplies covered, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne headed back inside to turn in for the night.]
The next evening...
[It was around five o'clock in the evening as Bobby and Lori got in their SUV ready to head to the winter festival.]
Lori: "Bye, guys! Bobby and I will bring you some souvenirs!"
Rita: "Okay, kids! Have fun!"
[With that, Bobby and Lori drove off while the Louds and Ronnie Anne waved at them. The Latina then looked and Lincoln before dragging him to the backyard. They went into the shed and found the washtub still there. Lincoln lifted the tarp and took a whiff of the contents. As he did so, he was on the verge of gagging. Ronnie Anne laughed at her friend's reaction.]
Lincoln: "Holy shamoley! This eggnog smells AWFUL!"
Ronnie Anne: "Oh, get over it, Lame-O! We've got some balloons to fill!"
[As soon as Lincoln regained his bearings, he and Ronnie Anne got to work filling the balloons with eggnog. By filling the balloons with expired eggnog, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were making eggnog stink bombs, which they would use for Ronnie Anne's next prank. The only issue was that she didn't know where exactly it was gonna take place. When the last of their balloons were filled up, they started putting them all into the washtub, which they would carry to the winter festival. The whole process took about ten minutes, but at last everything was ready. An exhausted Lincoln then spoke to Ronnie Anne.]
Lincoln: "Whew! Now that we got a washtub full of stink bombs, who's gonna take us to the festival?"
Ronnie Anne: "Definitely not your parents. They might suspect something."
[The two kids thought for a moment before Ronnie Anne's brain came up with something.]
Ronnie Anne: "What about Leni? She's got a driver's license and she's dumb enough to take us to the festival."
Lincoln: "Dumb's kind of a strong word, isn't it?"
Ronnie Anne: "Just see if she'll take us, will you?"
Lincoln: "Alright already. I'll go and ask her."
[Lincoln walked back inside the house went up the stairs until approached the door leading to Lori and Leni's room. The white-haired boy then knocked on the door until a familiar voice came can be heard.]
Leni: "I'm coming!"
[After about eight seconds, the door opened and Leni looked down at her little brother.]
Leni: "What's going on, Lincoln?"
Lincoln: "Do you think you can drive me and Ronnie Anne over to the winter festival tonight?"
Leni: "What a coincidence! That's totally where Bobby and Lori are going to!"
Lincoln: "So, will you do it?"
Leni: "Totes, Linky."
[Lincoln smiled and returned to the backyard.]
[Leni waited in the driver's seat of Vanzilla reading a magazine until Lincoln and Ronnie Anne arrived with the tarp-covered washtub. Leni saw the tub and was a little confused.]
Leni: "What's with that washtub?"
Lincoln: "It's for a little project that we're bringing to the festival."
Ronnie Anne: "Yeah! A mini skating rink. You know...for practice."
Leni: "Ooooo! That sounds like fun. Let me give you a hand with that."
[Leni then got out of the van before helping the two kids put the washtub into the back. Once everything was ready, Leni got back in the driver's seat while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne got in the second-row seats. Leni then started the engine and drove with her brother and Ronnie Anne to the festival.]
[On the way to there, Lincoln leaned over to Ronnie Anne and whispered in her ear.]
Lincoln: "So...what are you going to do with those Eggnog balloons?"
Ronnie Anne: "I'll tell you when we get to the festival. If what Luan said is correct, Lori and Bobby are probably there by now. I'll let you in on a little secret, though... I don't know where we're gonna dump these, but once we pull this off, maybe they'll stop nogging us about our relationship."
[Lincoln groaned.]
Lincoln: "I think you need to distance yourself from Luan for a while because she seems to have contracted some kind of Pun Pox over to you."
Ronnie Anne: "Oh, shut it."
Leni: "What are you two talking about back there?"
Lincoln: "Oh, just...thinking about the all fun Ronnie Anne and I are gonna have at the festival."
[Lincoln held Ronnie Anne's hand and smiled.]
Leni: "Ooooh... You guys are totes cute."
[Ronnie Anne gave off a scowl.]
Meanwhile, at the Winter Festival parking lot...
[Bobby and Lori arrived at the Winter Festival, which was in the same area where the county fair was hosted. Bobby got out first before walking over to Lori's side, opening the door, and offering her his hand.]
Bobby: "Shall we, Miss Loud?"
[Lori smiled as she held Bobby's hand and got out of the car. The two lovers then linked arms and walked towards the entrance to the festival. As soon as they went through the front gates, Lori and Bobby were walking through the festival houses, playing all sorts of carnival games and rode on rides that were safe for Lori due to her condition. Finally, the two teens were enjoying some delectables at the dessert shop before the blonde snapped a selfie with them both.]
[However, as Bobby and Lori were enjoying the festivities, back at the parking lot, Leni had arrived with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.]
Ronnie Anne: "We won't be gone for too long, so be sure to stick around until we come back."
[The two kids then got out of Vanzilla while Leni followed suit and helped them take the washtub out from the back. Once Lincoln and Ronnie Anne had everything they wanted, they started carrying the tub to the entrance while Leni waved at them good luck.]
Leni: "Take care, you guys! And bring me back a souvenir while you're at it!"
Lincoln: "Will do, Leni! Just be careful not to leave the engine running for too long!"
Leni: "Kay kay!"
[Leni watched the two kids walk towards the festival and smiled.]
Leni: "I should come here with Chaz next year."
[Back in the main square, Bobby and Lori had just emerged from a restaurant with one cup of hot cocoa each. They then walked over to a bench and sat down on it. What they didn't know was that Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were watching from behind a nearby stand while trying their best not to be seen by anybody.]
Lori: "This has literally been amazing so far."
Bobby: "Yeah, there's just so much to see and do here. It's like Christmas that can last until the new year begins."
[Lori nodded.]
Lori: "Is there anything that we've missed?"
Bobby: "Well, according to the map, there's a sleigh ride attraction at the winter wonderland. I say we check it out."
Lori: "There's a real sleigh ride? Perfect!"
Bobby: "Here's to a safe journey on the sleigh ride, and to a beautiful future ahead of us."
[Lori and Bobby both tapped their mugs against each other and finished their cocoa before heading to the sleigh ride. Ronnie Anne and Lincoln looked at one another before following their elder siblings.]
[After walking for a few minutes, Bobby and Lori arrived at the sleigh ride attraction. The sleigh followed a snowy trail and was pulled by a horse which was guided by a stout middle-aged guy dressed as an elf.]
Horseman: "Greetings you two lovebirds. Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together, isn't it?"
Bobby: "You know it... Just the three of us."
[With that, Lori got on the sleigh and Bobby followed suit. The man then got in front and got the horse going using a fishing rod with an apple tied to the end.]
Horseman: "Giddyup, Blizzard!"
[The horse eyed the apple and moved forward, pulling the sleigh with him. At that moment, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne arrived at the bridge where the sleigh would pass under before ending it's run.]
Ronnie Anne: "Alright... Get ready, Lame-O. Because it's that time of year to spread some spoiled, rotten, holiday cheer."
Lincoln: "So, what's the plan?"
Ronnie Anne: "When the sleigh passes under the bridge, that's when we'll let the two lovebirds have it. All you have to do is watch the other side and give me the signal. Once you do, we are gonna make it rain eggs right on top of them."
[Lincoln sighed and walked over to the other side of the bridge. After about a minute, Lincoln started to have second thoughts about this whole plan. He then turned his head to look back at his Latina friend.]
Lincoln: "Ronnie Anne..."
Ronnie Anne: "What is it, Linc?"
Lincoln: "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"
Ronnie Anne: "When have I ever gone too far, Lame-O? Besides, don't you want to get back at your sister for thinking we're an item? Or that comment she made about you inheriting Vanzilla?"
Lincoln: "Yeah, but not like this! You can do this yourself if you want, but I'm going to wait by Vanzilla where I won't be taking the heat...right after I get Leni a souvenir on the way out."
[With that, Lincoln started walking away. Ronnie Anne wanted to stop him, but a part of her held her back. She then left the washtub on the edge and walked to the other side of the bridge while mumbling under her breath.]
Ronnie Anne: "You expect me to do everything by myself? Pfft... You're no fun..."
[At that moment, the sleigh was half-way through with its journey as Lori snuggled next to Bobby with her eyes closed. The Latino looked down at his girlfriend with a warm smile as they passed by the lights and the scenery of the winter wonderland.]
Bobby: "Babe?"
[Lori opened her eyes when she heard her boyfriend's voice.]
Lori: "Yes, Bobby?"
Bobby: "Did I ever mention how cute you are when you snuggle next to me like a body pillow?"
Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear. I wish this ride can go on forever."
[Bobby put his hand on Lori's baby bump and rubbed it lovingly.]
Bobby: "So do I, Lori."
[The horseman looked back at the couple and chuckled to himself as he returned his attention to the trail.]
Horseman: "Young love."
[As Ronnie Anne watched from the bridge, she started to feel some guilt in her stomach. She knew that her brother and his girlfriend tend to get cheesy with their relationship, but is this prank gonna be worth it? Bobby seemed very happy with Lori beside her as she was with him, not to mention the new life that was still growing inside of Lori.]
Ronnie Anne: What am I doing? Am I even accomplishing anything here? They just look so happy together...
[Ronnie Anne sighed and started taking a few steps backward while staring into empty space.]
Ronnie Anne: I don't think I can go through with this. I should probably go find Lincoln and-
[Ronnie Anne was so lost in thought that she forgot about the washtub that was standing on the other side of the bridge behind her. Suddenly, Ronnie Anne's back hit the tub before snapping out of her thoughts and turning around to see the object about to tip over the edge.]
Ronnie Anne: "Oh no! Nononono!"
[In less than two seconds, Ronnie Anne managed to grab one of the handles of the washtub...but the expired eggnog balloons poured out of it.]
[Before Lori and Bobby could share another kiss, they, along with the horseman, were bombarded by a dozen water balloons, bursting and covering them all with icky, curdled, expired eggnog. Some of the eggnog dripped down the horseman's eyes, blocking his sights and causing him to lose control of the horse. The horse slipped away from the runaway sleigh as it crashed into the large mounds of soft, white snow. Bobby and the horseman were tossed out of the sleigh and into the snow while Lori held onto the sleigh for dear life as she was partially buried in snow.]
[A crowd of people heard and saw the commotion before running over to the scene. Ronnie Anne looked at the sleigh with fear before letting go of the washtub and running away from the scene. Bobby popped out of the snow along with the horseman before running over to the sleigh to dig Lori out. When he found her, she was physically alright, but she was feeling red in the face as the crowd kept staring, wondering what she was gonna do.]
Bobby: "Oh, thank God! How's the baby?!"
Lori: "He's doing alright...thank you. Of course, you won't be if you don't take us home, RIGHT! NOW!"
[Seeing no reason to anger her any further, Bobby took Lori's hand and they walked through the crowd back to the parking lot.]
[Ronnie Anne ran through the festival until she ran into Lincoln, who was just buying a snow globe at a gift shop.]
Ronnie Anne: "Lincoln! We have to get out of here right now!"
Lincoln: "Just a minute, Ronnie Anne. I need to buy this for Leni."
Ronnie Anne: "A minute's all it takes for us to be DEAD when Lori finds us here! Now let's go!"
[Ronnie Anne grabbed Lincoln's arm and dragged him back to Vanzilla as the white-haired boy held on tightly to the snow globe.]
Later, in Cathy...
[The drive home was extremely tense as Lori sat in the front seat with her arms crossed while Bobby did the driving.]
Bobby: "Babe...?"
[Lori just turned her head and looked out the window.]
Bobby: "Okay, then."
[Lori then let out a sigh and kept her gaze the passing scenery.]
Lori: "I don't know what's been going on this week... But I am literally going to need a long shower when we get home!"
Bobby: "You and me both, Babe. Do you think Luan's the one behind all of those pranks?"
[Lori took a deep breath and calmed herself down.]
Lori: "I don't know... It's literally not like her to prank me or my family during this time of the season...let alone this far from home. Plus, I don't think she's ever pranked you before."
Bobby: "Well...If I know my pranks, I've had my fair share of them from Ronnie Anne when we were younger."
Lori: "I don't know if Ronnie Anne is the one behind all of it, but my money's on Luan, and I am literally going to have a talk with her about it."
That night, in Luna and Luan's room...
[Like everyone else, Luna and Luan were preparing to go to sleep, when they suddenly heard a knock on her door.]
Luan: "Who is it? Luna and I need to catch some Z's, so we'll have the whole Alphabet. Get it?"
[Luan laughed while Luna groaned. Suddenly, the door opened to reveal Lori, who was glaring angrily at the comedienne. Luna hid under her covers as Lori stomped towards Luan.]
Lori: "Luan! What is the meaning of messing up my dates with Bobby?!"
Luan: "What are you talking about?"
Lori: "First I get my taste buds set on fire...next my new car gets splattered in mud...then Bobby gets drenched in a frozen lake...and now we both just got back from a sleigh ride covered in rotten eggnog! We literally had to shower all night because of that last one! Were you behind all of this?!"
Luan: "Look, if there's a day where I pull all those pranks, it's on April Fools' Day. So what make you think that I did it?"
[Lori just kept staring at Luan, who sighed in defeat.]
Luan: "Okay...so maybe I had something to do with these pranks, but I'm not the one who pulled them off."
Lori: "Then who did all this? Huh?! Tell me!"
Luan: "Well...let's just say that after you told me about your dates with Bobby three days ago, I was given an offer I couldn't refuse...from the Bonnie and Clyde of prankster gangsters known as Annie Ras and the Missing Link. That's all I can say."
Lori: "Who's Annie Ras?"
Luan: "You'll have to figure that out on your own. It's not that hard."
[Lori sighed before leaving the room. She then walked into her own room and shut the door before getting into her bed. As she laid there, she started to have thoughts about Annie Ras and the Missing Link. She then put two and two together and realized who they really were.]
Lori: Ronnie Anne and Lincoln! It must've been them!
[Lori was feeling very angry at the thought of how her brother and Ronnie Anne kept ruining her dates, but thought it best not to confront them until morning and went to sleep.]
The next day...
[Lori woke up around 7:30 in the morning as she wanted to see if her suspicions about Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were true. She sneaked out of her bedroom as to not wake up Leni, and tiptoed towards Lincoln's room. She then put her ear towards the door to hear from the other side.]
Ronnie Anne: "Okay, Linc... Maybe I've been going a little overboard with the pranking...and I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I actually wanted to back out of it."
Lincoln: "Wow! You know, I'd never thought I'd hear the day Ronnie Anne Santiago would chicken out of pranking..."
Ronnie Anne: "Look, you have every right to be angry at me, and I understand. I just wanted them to stop embarrassing us about this whole couple thing."
Lincoln: "Ronnie Anne... You and I both know it's more than just teasing. Just me the truth."
Ronnie Anne: "I will, but... I don't know...I'm just a little bit overwhelmed here. I thought I'd feel better after pulling off all those pranks, but after what happened at the winter festival, I'm kinda mad at myself now. But we should be surprised that Bobby and Lori haven't even noticed what we did."
[Finally learning the truth from the Santiago girl, Lori gritted her teeth and quickly opened the door before looking at her brother and Ronnie Anne with a look of rage.]
Lori: "LINCOLN LOUD AND RONALDA ANNE SANTIAGO!"
Lincoln: "Until now..."
[The two kids screamed in fear and tried to make a break for it, but the angry, pregnant blonde grabbed them by the collars of their shirts.]
Lori: "You two are LITERALLY in big trouble for this!"
Lincoln: "Wait, Lori! Didn't your doctor tell you to take it easy?!"
Lori: "Don't give me that! I know you guys have been literally pranking me and Bobby behind our backs all week!"
Lincoln: "It wasn't my idea, Lori! It was Ronnie Anne's! She forced me into doing all of it! So take it up with her!"
Ronnie Anne: "HEY! Who's side are you on right now, Lame-O?!"
Lori: "THAT'S ENOUGH!"
[Lori let go of Lincoln and Ronnie Anne before putting her hand to her forehead and taking a few deep breaths while the rest of the Loud sisters watched from their open doors.]
Lori: "I don't care who's at fault here. You two are going to make things right for me and Bobby."
Lincoln: "Wha- Why me?"
Ronnie Anne: "Yeah! Why should we?"
Lori: "Apparently, you two think Bobby and I are being too lovey-dovey, mushy, cheesy, or the fact that we think you two look cute together. But that is literally no excuse to take it out on us like that. Which is why you both are going to join me and Bobby on our date to Jean Juan's, tonight! It's all been arranged, and I expect the both of you to behave yourselves."
Lincoln: "Aw, again?"
Ronnie Anne: "Do we have to?"
Lori: "LITERALLY! Bobby and I have been tortured enough this week! Which is why I am going to keep a sharp eye on you both! So I suggest you dress up properly for tonight! Because you two! Will make me! And Bobby! FEEL LIKE! THE MOST SPECIAL PEOPLE! IN! THE WORLD!"
[Lincoln gave up, shrugged his shoulders and sighed.]
Lincoln: "Fine..."
Ronnie Anne: "Are you kidding me?! I'd rather kiss a skunk's..."
[Before Ronnie Anne could finish her sentence, Lori growled loudly as she picked up a stool and looked as if she was threatening to hit the two kids with it.]
Ronnie Anne: "I'll go ask Lola for a new dress!"
Lincoln: "You best do that! I'll go and iron my khakis...again!"
[With that, Lincoln retreated to his room while Ronnie Anne ran into Lana and Lola's room.]
[Later, Lola and Leni were fitting Ronnie Anne in a pink dress. The Latina seethed as the two blondes did their work.]
Leni: "Don't move so much or I might poke you by accident."
Ronnie Anne: "Sorry, but I'm just not a dress girl."
Lola: "Then why are you even bothering to be fitted in one?"
[Ronnie Anne sighed.]
Ronnie Anne: "Lincoln and I...might've been pulling a bunch of pranks on Bobby and Lori."
[Leni and Lola were shocked at what they heard. The young pageant queen started glaring at Ronnie Anne.]
Leni: "Wait...is that why you wanted me to take you to the Winter Festival? So mean, Ronnie Anne."
Lola: "And why you got me caught up in your little prank streak and burned my tongue?! And why Lana blamed me for those missing mud jars?! What's the big idea, sister?!"
Leni: "Wait... You didn't tell me she was related to us?"
Ronnie Anne: "Okay, I get that you're angry... But the fact is, I am tired of hearing you guys thinking that Lincoln and I are gonna get together...especially Lori and Bobby."
Leni: "Is that why? Well, if that's the case, why not try talking to them about it? We could try and cool down on the meddling."
Lola: "Okay, you can cut the crud now. What is REALLY going on here?"
[Ronnie Anne sighed and proceeded to tell Leni and Lola the truth.]
Ronnie Anne: "It's this whole moving thing... Bobby and Lori want me to decide to stay here or move with them by Sunday, but I really don't know. Bobby is the only thing I have left for a father, and you guys have been keeping us safe ever since our father found out about Lori's pregnancy...especially Lincoln."
Lola: "Wow! All because you can't decide whether to move out or not? That's just pathetic."
Leni: "Lola!"
[Lola sighed and kept her mouth shut. Leni then looked at Ronnie Anne again.]
Leni: "Why not just try talking to them about it?"
Ronnie Anne: "There's no way they're gonna listen."
Lola: "Well, you know Lori has a good side...despite the fact that she orders us around."
Leni: "I think you should definitely try talking to Lori and Bobby about this issue. I'm sure they'll understand."
[Ronnie Anne wanted to believe them...but she wasn't sure about doing so.]
Later, at Jean Juan's French-Mex Buffet...
[Bobby was waiting for Lori outside the restaurant sporting a fancy tuxedo. Just then, he saw Lori walking down the sidewalk followed by Lincoln and Ronnie Anne, much to Bobby's confusion. He noticed that Lincoln was wearing his khakis, brown shoes, and formal orange shirt with a black necktie along with Ronnie Anne, who was dressed up in a pretty pink date dress.]
Bobby: "Hey, babe. You look lovely tonight."
[Lori giggled and blushed at her boyfriend's compliment.]
Bobby: "But, uh... Why are Lincoln and Ronnie Anne here with you? And why is she in a dress?"
[Ronnie Anne pouted.]
Lori: "Oh, right... Clearly, these two were the ones who have been ruining our dates these past few days. So, I'm having them join us on our Pre-Moving Day Date as punishment."
Ronnie Anne: "Please don't mention that again."
[Lori nudged Ronnie Anne.]
Ronnie Anne: "I mean, yeah. What she said. Let's just get this over with."
[Bobby looked at Ronnie Anne and started to think. Lincoln then moved his eyes to look at the readers.]
Lincoln: "Wow...déjà vu."
[The group walked into the restaurant and Lori requested a table of four at the front desk. After being led to their table, the waiter came and asked the group what they wanted, and Lori told him. Shortly after the waiter left, Lori decided to start a romantic conversation with Bobby.]
Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear, I'm so glad that we're all together..."
[Lori then turned to look at Lincoln and Ronnie Anne with a stern look on her face.]
Lori: "...and that NOBODY will try to PRANK us tonight."
[Lincoln was getting worried while Ronnie Anne glared back at Lori. Bobby could see some tension going on between the two girls and stood up.]
Bobby: "Uh... Why don't we hit the buffet, babe? Just the two of us?"
[Lori gladly nodded as Bobby helped her out of her seat and both teens walked over to the buffet table. Bobby then looked back at Ronnie Anne and Lincoln before turning his gaze back to his girlfriend.]
Bobby: "What exactly is going on here? Was Ronnie Anne really responsible for those pranks?"
Lori: "I think it's best to tell you after dinner."
Bobby: "Okay, I guess."
[After waiting for about twenty minutes, the main course had arrived. But before they could dig in, Bobby had to use the bathroom as he drank a little too much water. Lori told Bobby not to take too long or she would have to eat everything without him. Lori and Ronnie Anne kept eyeing each other while Lincoln tried to make small talk.]
Lincoln: "So...this looks delicious... I can't wait to dig in once Bobby gets back."
Lori: "Listen up, you two. As soon as dinner's over, you are going to tell Bobby what you've done to us all week."
Ronnie Anne: "Oh, yeah, Generalissimo Loud. Like when I served you a piping hot pizza, slung mud on your car, made Bobby skate on thin ice, and egg nogged you both on your winter wonderland. Oh...and there was one more thing we were gonna do before you caught us..."
Lori: "Like what?"
Lincoln: "Lori...please calm down..."
Ronnie Anne: "I don't know? Maybe something like..."
Lincoln: "Ronnie Anne...don't..."
[Ronnie Anne then scooped a spoonful of queso and flung it at Lori, leaving an orange stain on her dress.]
Ronnie Anne: "THAT!"
Lori: "Damn it, Ronnie Anne! This is a really nice dress that you've just ruined!"
Ronnie Anne: "Well, I think that dress looks better this way."
Lincoln: "Hold on a second, you guys! You're making a scene!"
Lori: "Stay out of this, Lincoln!"
Lincoln: "Lori, please! You're only gonna make things worse if you-"
Lori: "I said, STAY OUT OF THIS!"
[Lori then took her bowl of guacamole and dumped its contents on Lincoln's head. Ronnie Anne was furious over the pregnant teen's act towards her brother and stood on her seat before slamming her hands on the table.]
Ronnie Anne: "Hey! You can't do that to your brother!"
Lori: "I can, and I literally have!"
[Ronnie Anne was seeing red at this point and started to lift her bowl of queso. At that same time, Lincoln wiped some guac off his eyes and saw Ronnie Anne pick up the bowl of queso.]
Ronnie Anne: "You know what...I should've done this ever since the first time Bobby introduced you to me!"
Lincoln: "RONNIE ANNE, NOOOOO!"
[However, it was too late as Ronnie Anne threw the queso at Lori, who managed to duck in time. However, the bowl flew towards Bobby (who had just come out of the restroom) and it's contents landed on the Latino's head. Bobby was quite surprised by this and took the bowl off his head, only to see his girlfriend and sister attempting to have a catfight while Lincoln tried to get between them. Bobby ran over to the girls and tried to get between them as well while the other patrons watched the chaos from their own tables. Some of them even began to leave the restaurant as fast as they could.]
[At that very moment, the manager of Jean-Juan's, being a woman, came out of her office to see what was going on. She saw that the restaurant was nearly empty with only four customers causing a ruckus. She marched right over to the group of four and yelled out in a French-Mexican accent.]
Manager: "WHAT EEZ ZE MEANING OF ALL THEES COMMO-SHE-ON?!"
[Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the manager.]
Bobby: "Can we help you?"
[The manager turned her head to Bobby and glared directly at him.]
Manager: "Are you weeth thoze keeds and that wo-MON?"
Bobby: "Uh... Si?"
[Then she brought the whole group of four to their feet, forced them to put their coats back on and kicked them out of the restaurant.]
Manager: "You are all 'ereby banned from thees estab-bleesh-mant unteel you pay for ze damages!"
[With that, the manager walked back into the restaurant and slammed the doors closed, putting up a "CLOSED" sign on the front window in the process. Bobby was still confused and looked at his girlfriend.]
Bobby: "What the hell did you guys do while I was in the bathroom?"
Lori: "Oh, Bobby, I never wanted things to turn out this bad! All I wanted was a nice romantic dinner with you before we moved out. Until your sister decided to ruin it for us."
Ronnie Anne: "Oh! I ruined your romantic night, huh?! You know, none of this bullshit would've happened if you just quit acting so lovey-dovey around me and Lincoln!"
Bobby: "Ronalda! Watch your language! That's my girlfriend you're talking to!"
Ronnie Anne: "No, Bobby! Not this time! This is between me and her!"
Lori: "Well, I can't help it that you and Lincoln are meant to be, just like me and Bobby!"
Ronnie Anne: "Damn it, Lori! Will you get it through your head?! Lincoln and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and we never will be!"
[The argument started to get heated. Lincoln tried to get between Lori and Ronnie Anne while Bobby tried to hold his girlfriend back.]
Bobby: "Stop it, you two! Can't we just discuss this at home?!"
Ronnie Anne: "You mean at Lincoln's house, or YOUR apartment?! I don't want to hear any more of this!"
[Ronnie Anne turned around and folded her arms.]
Lori: "What is the matter with you?! You are literally such a troublesome little brat! Do yourself a favor and grow up!"
[Ronnie Anne stopped and turned to Lori with her eyes on the verge of tears.]
Ronnie Anne: "Grow up?! GROW UP?! I can't believe you're making me choose between you guys and Lincoln, all because you want to move out with my brother! I mean, have you ever stopped to think about how I feel?! Of course not, because you always have your eyes glued to my brother, or your phone! Also, you fooled around with my brother and now you're pregnant with his child, so don't think for a SECOND that you're in any position to tell me to grow up!"
[Lori was about to say something, but Ronnie Anne interrupted.]
Lori: "I am only trying to protect you guys! Is that so wrong?!"
Ronnie Anne: "How is dumping a bowl of guacamole on your own brother protecting ANYONE?!"
[Ronnie Anne then groaned and started walking away from the scene.]
Lori: "Where do you think you're going?!"
[Ronnie Anne stopped and turned to look at Lori with tears of hurt and anger in her eyes.]
Ronnie Anne: "As far away as I can...from YOU!"
[Ronnie Anne continued running away from the scene as Lori's eyes welled up with tears. The pregnant blonde then covered her face and started weeping, prompting her boyfriend to pull her into an embrace. Lincoln could tell this was getting a little too dramatic and started walking away in Ronnie Anne's direction. He then stopped and turned to look at Bobby.]
Lincoln: "I'm gonna go find Ronnie Anne. Call me if you need anything."
[Bobby nodded before Lincoln ran down the sidewalk in hopes of finding his friend. Bobby then guided his crying girlfriend to their SUV and sat in the second-row seats.]
Bobby: "Sh-sh-sh... Please don't cry, babe. It's gonna be okay."
Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear... This was supposed to be a very romantic night for us...but I never meant to make your sister hate me! Where did I go wrong?"
[Lori then leaned her head on Bobby's shirt as the Latino rubbed her hair in an attempt to calm her down.]
Bobby: "It's okay, babe. I'm sure Ronnie Anne didn't mean to say any of that. I'll go call her and Lincoln right now and see what can be done."
[With that, Bobby pulled out his cell phone and started to call Lincoln's phone number. He just had to hope that he could get through to Ronnie Anne.]
