Chapter 34: Mirror Mirror on the Grande
I'm finally back to doing Loud Loudd n Louder chapters. And man, it's been a while. My last chapter was posted in October, so it's been four months since I've made a chapter. Also, this is the first chapter of the year.
This chapter is based on the episode: Mirror Mirror on the Ed.
And this is the first chapter centered on Ronnie Anne and her family. So please enjoy and give me a review.
At the apartment, Ronnie Anne, Bobby, and Carlota are in the living room watching an episode of Adios, Ana, Adios. The main character Ana, is fighting Mexican bandits.
"Man, Ana sure knows how to kick butt!" Bobby said.
"Yeah, but we've seen this episode so many times." Ronnie Anne said. "I'm actually starting to get sick of it."
"I'm with you, Ronnie Anne." Carlota said. "I thought we could do a family activity but everyone else is busy."
As of right now, Carlos had taken CJ and Carlino to a dentist appointment. Frida was touring an art museum. Carlitos was at a daycare. Maria was working. Hector was at a business meeting. And Rosa was cooking.
"Well, maybe we can play some kind of game." Bobby suggested.
Rosa came into the living room. "Ninos, are the tamales too spicy?"
There was a plate of tamales on the table.
"No, they're fine Abuela." Ronnie Anne said. "But do you know a family game we could play? Something we haven't done recently?"
"Hmmm….how about verdad o reto?"
"You mean truth or dare?" Carlota asked.
"Exactly."
"Truth or dare? I love that game!" Ronnie Anne said excitedly.
"Yeah, I remember the last time we played." Bobby said.
We flashback to the last game of truth or dare with the whole family. Carlino spins a bottle and they wait for it to point at someone. Then the bottle stops at Carlos, meaning he has to pick truth or dare.
"It's my turn! Luck be a lady tonight!"
"Right. Truth or dare?" Carl asked.
"Hmm...dare me sucker!"
"Good choice, Carlos." Frida said.
"Cool." Carl thought of a dare. "Let's see. I dare you to...skip your turn!"
"Dang it." Carlos said, bummed out.
We cut to another scene where CJ is roller skating backwards with a blindfold on. "Hey, I'm pretty good at this." Then he crashes into the kitchen.
"I'm okay." He said weakly. Carlino laughed.
"I knew that was a bad dare, Carlino." Maria said.
A third scene has Sergio tied to Hector's face, which was a dare from Rosa. Rosa chuckles.
"I'm not enjoying this one bit, Rosa." Hector complained.
"This is no picnic for me either, bub." Sergio complained.
We go back to the present as Rosa handed Bobby a bottle.
"Dares are more entertaining." Rosa said.
"Totally." Bobby agreed.
"I'm gonna get back to cooking. You kids enjoy your game."
"Ok, let's get this game started." Carlota said.
"I'm a pro at this." Ronnie Anne said confidently. Then Bobby spun himself on the floor, then stopped and pointed the bottle at his sister
"Ronnie Anne, truth or dare?"
"Ok, dare Bobby."
"I dare you to cluck like a chicken in your swimsuit while skateboarding through a car wash."
Carlota and Ronnie gave Bobby an awkward stare.
"Uh Bobby, try a more reasonable dare please." Carlota suggested.
"...Ok, then I dare Ronnie Anne to act like Carlota."
"Ronnie Anne act like me? Why that's-"
"Stupid, Bobby!" Ronnie Anne objected. "You blew your chance to-"
"You know, Ronnie Anne, it could be quite entertaining. Why, I'd be flattered if you would mimic me."
"Let's see, where do I start?" Then Ronnie Anne spoke in a more girly voice. "Ooh, this dress is totally adorable! It'll go great with my boots.
"Good Carlota, Ronnie Anne." Bobby commented. Carlota chuckles. Then Ronnie Anne held out a pickle jar.
"Can someone help me? I can't open this pickle jar because I might break one of my precious fingernails."
Bobby laughs. Carlota was unamused by that. "Ha ha. Very funny Ronnie Anne."
She spun the bottle. "Can we continue playing?" She gasped when the bottle stopped at her. "Oh no."
"Ha! I dare you to be Bobby." Ronnie Anne said.
"I guess I could. But only if Bobby will be Ronnie Anne."
"I can do Ronnie Anne." Bobby said. "I practiced."
Bobby cleared his throat before he spoke in a tomboyish tone. "What's up, lame-o's?"
"What do ya mean you practiced?" Ronnie Anne questioned.
"Hey Carlota, wanna arm wrestle?" Bobby said, mimicking Ronnie Anne.
"Please Bobby, you're invading my personal space." Ronnie Anne said, mimicking Carlota. She pushed Bobby down and laughed. Bobby and Carlota laughed too.
"Well…" Ronnie Anne said to Carlota.
"Do me, Carlota." Bobby insisted.
"We're waiting."
"Okay, very well. Let's see…" Carlota spoke in a boy's voice, pretending to talk to Lori. "Hey babe, it's your Bobby Boo Boo Bear."
The kids laughed at this.
Mr. Nakamura is outside, walking his dog Nelson through the neighborhood.
"I hope the Mercado's open." Mr. Nakamura said to Nelson. "You really need some dog food, don't you, boy?"
Then Nelson got distracted by a squirrel who had a churro in its mouth. He growled at it.
"Easy boy, easy." Then Mr. Nakamura was dragged off by Nelson who chased the squirrel. His owner held onto his leash as the dog ran through some construction.
"Heel Nelson! Please!"
Then Nelson accidentally bumped into someone and he stopped. The person Nelson bumped into looked like Bobby.
"Oh Bobby, I'm sorry about that." Mr. Nakamura said. The teen turned around, but the teen wasn't Bobby. It was Carlota dressed like Bobby. Her hair was now in the shape of Bobby's hairstyle, and with the help of Ronnie Anne, actually cut her ponytail short.
"Oh, it's okay." Carlota said in a Bobby voice. "Can I help you with something?"
Mr. Nakamura stares blankly at Carlota. "Wait, you're not Bobby."
"Of course I am, Mr. Nakamura."
Then Ronnie Anne came over, dressed as Carlota. She used mop strings for a longer ponytail. Ronnie Anne spoke in a Carlota voice. "Hi Mr. Nakamura, do you mind if I give you a makeover? I can also break your nails."
Ronnie held out some cosmetics. Mr. Nakamura looked confused.
"Spruce his nails, not break them." Carlota said in her normal voice. Then she changed her tone back into a male tone. "But how would I know? I'm a boy after all."
Then Mr. Nakamura noticed the real Bobby, dressed like his little sister. He had a little ponytail and was wearing her hoodie that was small for him, leaving his belly exposed. He attempted to do a trick on Ronnie Anne's skateboard, and fell off.
"Ow. How does Ronnie Anne do this?" Bobby said in his normal voice.
"Bobby, there you are." Mr. Nakamura said. "Look, I need you to open up the market so I can buy dog food for Nelson."
"What're you talking about? I'm Ronnie Anne." Bobby said, mimicking his sister. "Do I look like some guy who works at a market?"
Mr. Nakamura was losing his patience. "Alright, enough of this. Come on, open up the store."
He took Bobby's hand, dragging him to the store.
"Alright, alright." Bobby said in his normal voice. He unlocked the gate and they went inside the Mercado. Carlota and Ronnie Anne were left outside.
"Looks like Ronnie Anne is doing my job." Carlota said in a Bobby voice.
"Yep, it's just us." Ronnie Anne said in a Carlota voice. "Bobby, now that they're gone, let's make fun of Ronnie Anne behind her back."
"Like we always do?"
"Aha! I knew it!" Ronnie Anne said in her normal voice, pointing her finger at Carlota.
"I'm just kidding, Ronnie Anne." Carlota said in her normal voice before she spoke in her Bobby voice again. "But since I'm Bobby, I better go check on my little sister."
She went inside the market.
"Wait for me. It's hard to run in a dress." Ronnie Anne followed her cousin.
Bobby was at the counter. His phone buzzed as he got a text message from Lori. He read the message, breaking character.
"Hey Boo Boo Bear, I need your decision. Do you think I should buy this turquoise dress with glitter or the diamond dress?"
A picture of the two dresses were shown. A dress covered in glitter and a dress covered in diamonds.
"Aw, Babe wants my decision! What should I say?"
Bobby saw Carlota and Ronnie Anne standing next to him, and realized he broke character. He spoke in his Ronnie Anne voice. "Hey bro, your girlfriend just texted you."
He gave the phone to Carlota.
"Help me out here." He said in his normal voice. Carlota saw the dresses.
"Buy the diamond dress, babe." She said in her Bobby voice as she texted Lori. "It'll get you more attention."
Ronnie Anne spoke in her Carlota voice. "Aww, you're such a charmer Bobby."
They laughed. Mr. Nakamura was still looking for dog food. "Hey, can I get help over here Bobby?"
"Look alert, Bobby." Bobby said in his Ronnie Anne voice.
"Oh, right." Carlota spoke in her Bobby voice. "I'll help you, sir."
"You're not Bobby." Mr. Nakamura said, slightly annoyed. "You know what, I don't care. As long as you know where the dog food is."
Carlota led the man over. "This way, sir. There should be dog food in the very back."
"Finally." Mr. Nakamura walked to the back with Nelson.
"Hey Carlota, looks like your decision was right." Bobby said in his normal voice. He had read a reply from Lori. "She decided to buy the diamond dress and said I was a real gentleman. You really are a fashion genius."
"You really think so?" Carlota said in her normal voice.
"Hey, I'm Carlota." Ronnie Anne said in her normal voice. "I'm the fashion genius."
Mr. Nakamura got a big bag of dog food.
"You like this, Nelson? All you can eat dog chow?"
Nelson barked happily. Ronnie Anne, Bobby, And Carlota continued to goof off. Ronnie Anne pulled out a hot dog and spoke as Carlota. "Oh Ronnie Anne, I got you a hot dog."
"Mmm, my favorite dog." Bobby said as Ronnie Anne.
"Not so fast. You love hot sauce on your hot dogs, don't you Ronnie Anne?"
Bobby gulped. "Oh, sure."
He poured the hot sauce and hesitated to take a bite, but he did. "...hey, that wasn't that bad." Then his face turned red and he burped fire. Ronnie Anne And Carlota laughed at this. Mr. Nakamura was at the counter.
"Excuse me?" He called. "Hello?"
Ronnie Anne and Carlota continued laughing as Bobby gulped down a bottle of water.
Mr. Nakamura sighs. "Ok, I'll just leave the money on the counter. See ya."
He leaves the store with Nelson. Bobby gives Ronnie Anne a noogie as revenge. Carlota laughs at this. Mr. Nakamura walks off with his dog. "I've never been so confused, Nelson."
Bobby, Carlota, and Ronnie Anne are at the park, still pretending to be each other. Carlota pretended to text Lori.
"I love you, best babe in the world."
"Aw, come on Carlota." Bobby said in his normal voice. "I don't text Lori all the time."
"Yeah, the rest of the time I think about her big, beautiful hair." Carlota said in her Bobby voice.
"Here's some advice for her: brush your hair 150 times a day like I do, in case any debris gets stuck in it." Ronnie Anne said as Carlota. Carlota frowned at that. Ronnie Anne and Bobby burst out laughing. Ronnie Anne's friends Nikki, Sameer, and Casey came over, and noticed the Mexican kids with their clothes swapped.
"What the heck is going on here?" Casey questioned.
"Hey guys, may I interest any of you in a makeover?" Ronnie Anne said as Carlota.
"Ronnie Anne, what are you guys doing?" Nikki asked.
"I'm Carlota, duh. Now how about a makeover?" Ronnie Anne gave Nikki a facial makeover before she could say anything.
"Hey!"
"What do you think?" Ronnie Anne held out a mirror and Nikki saw her face. She was shocked as she now looked like a clown. "I call it "Funny Face."
We cut to Nikki chasing Ronnie Anne.
"Can't you take a joke?" Ronnie Anne said in her normal voice.
"You're gonna get it, Ronnie Anne!"
Bobby and Carlota watched Nikki chase Ronnie Anne.
"Ronnie Anne's good, huh Carlota?" Bobby said in his normal voice.
Then someone called Bobby. "Oh Bobby!" It was Miranda, one of the residents from the apartment. Miranda kinda had a thing for Bobby, and would sometimes flirt with him and wouldn't leave him alone.
"Uh oh! It's Miranda!" Bobby hid in a bush.
"Uh, Bobby?" Carlota was confused as to why Bobby was hiding from Miranda. Miranda walked up to Carlota, mistaking her for Bobby.
"Bobby, there you are!" She took Carlota by the arm. "I need to show you something!"
Carlota got dragged away. Bobby watched his cousin get taken away and laughed.
"What a sap!" He said in Ronnie Anne's voice. Ronnie Anne's best friend, Sid, walked over to Bobby.
"Hiya Bobby. Why are you dressed like your sister?"
"It's a dare, Sid." Bobby spoke in his Ronnie Anne voice. "So I'm the cool skateboarder now."
Sid laughed. "Been there, done that, Bobby. I mean "Ronnie Anne". Oh, I'll give you a dollar if you do a dare."
"Bring it on. I'll do anything for cash cause I'm awesome."
Meanwhile, Carlota was taken to another location in the park.
"I want to show you my chewed up gum collection." The teen said, as they were at a bench. The girl peeled gum off from under a table. "Check it out. I saved these just for you."
The Hispanic teen stares dreamily at Carlota and put the wad of chewed gum onto Carlota's hand. Carlota was disgusted by this.
"EWWWWWW!"
Downtown, Ronnie Anne hid in an alleyway and Nikki ran past her. "Phew, that was close."
Then Ronnie Anne noticed a bunch of eyes staring at her. There were street cats, and they seemed to have something against Ronnie Anne.
"Oh, um, nice kitties…" Ronnie Anne said in a Carlota voice. The cats hissed at the tomboy. Ronnie Anne screamed and ran for her life as the street cats chased after her.
We go back to Sid as she's at the apartment with Bobby. Sid held out a cracker. "Hey Sergio, want a cracker?"
Bobby looked like Sergio, as he had fake feathers all over himself and a fake beak attached to him. He squawked and spoke in a Sergio voice. "Cracker? I'm too good for that. Let's get some hot dogs."
Sid laughed. "I could go for a hot dog." She turned to Sergio, who was dressed up as Ronnie Anne. "How about you, Ronnie Anne?
"You bet!" Sergio said in his best Ronnie Anne impression. "Last one to Bruno's cart is a lame-o."
The parrot rode off on Ronnie Anne's skateboard and the other two ran after him.
