Chapter 39: Pain in the Loud

Here's a parody of the episode: Pain in the Ed

Lynn was in her room, wearing a tank top and pouring glue onto her armpits while Lucy cut out pieces of fur from a coat.

"Hey, what's taking ya?!" Lynn yelled.

"I hate it when you do that." Lucy said. "Lynn, I have my doubts about the success of using fur from a coat as a means of achieving virility."

She pasted a slice of fur to Lynn's armpit.

"Everyone knows hairy pits are a sure sign of manliness, Lucy." Lynn said as she and Lucy headed over to Luna and Luan's room. Luan is sharing an ice cream shake with Mr. Coconuts and she notices Lynn.

"Wow Lynn! Is that fur? Are you fur real?" She laughed.

"Well, Luan seems unimpressed." Lucy said. Lori walks upstairs texting on her phone.

"Hey big sis!" Lynn got Lori's attention. "Who's more mature now, huh?"

Lori laughed. "You're faking puberty? That's literally a riot!" She went to her room and continued laughing.

"Gosh." Lucy said.

"Jealous?" Lynn yelled out. "She wishes she had fur like this."

They head downstairs where Luna is tuning her guitar. She noticed Lynn. "Is that coat fur? That is so kindergarten, dude."

"I hate it when you guys catch on!" Lynn said.

"It seems underarm growth is a poor excuse for maturity Lynn." Lucy stated. "This was a waste of time."

Lucy walked back upstairs.

"Really dude, you're not fooling anyone." Luna commented.

"I bet I could impress Leni." Lynn said.

Leni walked downstairs carrying a violin and a music stand. "Don't bother Lynn, she's busy right now."

"Hey Leni, check out these pits."

Leni got ready to play. "Nice coat fur, Lynn. Now let us see. Position and pose starts by fanning your toes and placing your left foot right."

"Leni, I didn't know you played a violin." Luna said. "You know, I used to play the violin."

"Violin? I thought that was a ukulele." Lynn said.

"No dude, that's a violin. A hand carved musical tour de force whose delicate tone can emit a diverse range of emotions."

Leni plucked an out of tune string. "E!" She hit another sour note. "G!"

"A little cat and dog, but-" Luna cringed as Leni played another rotten note, but smiled.

"B!"

"-with a little practice-"

Another stinker. "D!" Leni paused, then hits another note. "F!" The note slammed into Lynn's head, and Lynn stole the violin.

"Violins are for sissies."

"But Lynn, mom says I gotta practice or-" Luna takes the violin back to Leni.

"Thank you."

"Hey!"

"I'm sure you'll agree Niccolò Paganini is no sissy, Lynn. Go on Leni, practice. Revel in the violin's resonance."

"Get rid of it, Leni!" Lynn said. Leni began to play, honking out sour notes that sound like a duck being strangled.

"Very good, Leni." Luna encourages. "But more allegro, sprightlier if you will."

Leni honked the notes faster and faster, pushing out a cacophony of notes. Luan heard the music and was dancing to the notes.

"Woo hoo! That's a real toe tapper Leni! You're giving me and Mr. Coconuts goosebumps!"

Lynn stormed up to her room to hide from the noise. Luna cringed with each note. "Bravo, Leni!"

Lynn entered her bedroom and slammed the door. She put her jersey back on and sat on her bed.

"So I heard Leni is taking violin lessons." Lucy said as she was reading her poems.

"Yeah, and she's terrible." Lynn complained. She could still hear Leni playing. "Ugh, I still hear it. I need to get out of here."

Lynn left the room and then noticed Luna wearing earmuffs. "Aha! I knew it! Leni stinks!"

"Oh, come on dude! This is a good thing, and Leni needs our support!"

"It sounds like a cat scratching a chalkboard!"

"And that's why Leni should-"

Leni walked upstairs with the stand and violin. She sets up. "Position and pose starts by fanning your toes."

Luna tried to hold Lynn back. "Wait Lynn! Don't interfere with cultural learning!"

Lynn threw the violin out the front door. Luna followed it. "Oh man!"

The twins pass Luna, walking into the house and carrying the violin. Lynn patted Leni.

"It's like a spider off your back, huh Leni?"

"Tell me a story, Lynn." Leni said, looking comforted.

Lola throws the door open. "Leni! You're supposed to be practicing for music class! Mom said so!"

Leni was downhearted. "I am like, so confused!"

"No!" Lynn said anguished. "That instrument is torture!"

"Move it, Leni!" Lola dragged her older sister outside. Leni stands on the front porch.

"See? I'm practicing, Lola. Hang onto your tiara." She began playing poorly.

Lana cringed and covered her ears. "Oh, that's awful!" Lola dragged Lana away and whispered into her ear. "You're as sly as a fox, sis!"

"Call me if there's any trouble." Lola headed back inside. Lynn came out.

"That's it! I'm smashing that thing into a thousand pieces!" Lynn grabbed the violin and raised it above her head.

"Dude, no!" Luna took it.

"Quit butting in!"

"We seem to have company, Lynn." Luna said through clenched teeth. "A direct line to Lola if anything goes wrong."

Luna pointed to the empty front yard. Lana was in a bush and seemed to be spying on the three older siblings.

"Really?" Lynn got an idea. "C'mon Leni. Let's go find a quiet spot to tune that violin."

The three siblings go to a clearing in the woods. Lynn picked up a cinder block. "Ok, Leni, let me have it!"

Leni started her awful performance again.

"Man, she's bad!"

Luna covered her ears. "A musician starts off rusty but will become skilled, Lynn."

The violin sounds are bad enough to peel the barf off the trees.

"I hate violins!" Lynn said frustrated.

Leni stopped for a moment. "But I have to practice or I'll totes be in trouble!"

Leni starts again. Lana, disguised as Little Bo Peep, comes by leading sheep.

"Leech." Lynn muttered.

Luna and Lynn lead Leni down the lane. Lynn has her shoes stuffed in her ears. A baby carriage comes by, and Lana peeks out. Lynn whipped it back the way it came. She smiled evilly and ran towards Leni, stealing the violin.

"Lynn!"

"I hate violins!" She held it over a rock.

"Don't you dare Lynn!" Luna got in her way. "That instrument has a legacy!"

"And four strings." Leni took the violin back. "Position and pose starts by fanning your toes and placing your left foot-"

Lynn kicked Leni's feet out from under her. The violin comes down, and Lynn catch it.

"Dude, wait! The walls have eyes!"

"I told you to stay out of this! It's history!"

"But Lynn-"

"Zip it!"

"Fine then. Get on with your lowbrow tactics."

"So shut up already!"

Luna smiled. "But before you violate the violin, Lynn, look up into that tree."

In the tree is Lana, disguised as a bird. Lynn gave Leni the violin back. "Um, Leni, shouldn't you be practicing?"

"Hey, that bird looks...so adorable!" Leni commented. The real birds fly off and Lana falls out of the tree.

"I'm okay." Lana groaned. Luna looked at the violin with love in her eyes. Lynn came up with another destructive plan.

"Let's use a chainsaw!"

"No Lynn!" Luna objected. "Think of the consequences!" She led Lynn away. "What if an accident were to happen to Leni's violin? And what if this accident were to happen in plain view for Lola and everyone else to see?"

"Oh, I get it!...What do I get?"

There is a giant statue in the town. It seemed to be a remake of the Statue of Liberty. Some other kids look at it.

"What is this?" Chandler wondered.

"Why is the Lady of Liberty looming over our town?" Liam said.

"I have no idea." Lincoln said.

"What an eyesore." Chaz commented.

"Aw come on guys. I think it's cute." Becky commented. Luna and Lynn look out from inside it.

"This better make me happy, Luna." Lynn said. Leni looked out.

"We'll all have our wish come true after this, Lynn." Luna assured. "Thanks to Lisa's help."

Lisa comes out with noise canceling earbuds. "The plan shall now commence. And I borrowed Lincoln's noise canceling earbuds." She puts them in her ears. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read my book in peace."

She goes to a spot to read.

Lynn raced to the painted target and looked up. A giant funnel, part of the statue, points down at the statue. Lynn moved Leni to the center of the target, where Leni will practice. Luna, using a giant marker, outlines footprints on the street. She then takes out a stick of gum, chewed it up, and placed it in the center of the last footprint. Leni got set.

"Position and pose starts by fanning your toes and placing your left foot right." She began, and the business among the kids was disrupted. A terrible note bursted the wheels of Chandler's bike into squares, and he tumbled off the bike, and landed in a trash can.

"Make it stop!" Lincoln yelled, covering his ears.

Becky covered her ears. "Leni, you're giving me a headache!"

Liam stumbled along the fingerprints. "Save yourself, musical Loud sister! That dang instrument toys with our mortality!" He stretches the gum across the street and can't move forward. Luna signals to Lynn. Lynn then rushed to the target, where Luan is snapping her fingers to the "jazz" of the music.

"Hey Luan!"

"Hiya Lynn!"

"Hey Giggles, I'd like you to meet my termite friends." Lynn held up a jar full of termites.

"Look out, Mr. Coconuts! I'll save you!" Luan ran away. Lynn set up a jack in the box and walked off.

"Get away from my friend, you bullies!" Luan runs into the gum trap. The gum rebounds against her, shooting her backwards. Luan hits the jack in the box just as it goes off, giving her upward momentum. She lands on a diving board attached to the statue. The diving board bounces her upwards through the ear of Lady Liberty. Luan landed in a basket and triggered a complex contraption involving a bowling ball.

"Quick, let's go see!" Lynn noticed their dog, Charles. "Why is Charles here?"

"It's a surprise, dude." Luna said.

"Sure, I get it!"

The bowling ball fired out of the trash can and landed in the funnel. Lynn watched eagerly. "Go baby, go!"

The bowling ball flies out of the funnel's base. "Cmon, Cmon!"

Inside the statue, Luna petted Charles. "I made a special treat for you, Charles. A very powerful bone magnet. Safe to eat, and full of essential vitamins for a young growing dog."

Outside, the ball sped toward its target.

"It's in the bag!" Lynn said excitedly.

Luna showed Charles out. "Go home now, and don't talk to any strangers." Charles walked by the music stand. The magnet attracts it, and pulled it along. Leni followed. Just as Leni leaves the target, the ball slammed into it, dead center.

"Yes!" Luna said proudly.

"It missed!" Lynn said surprised.

Luna pretended to be surprised. "Completely! But how could it be? Lisa's computations were precise, rigorous, and painstaking. This goes beyond science, Lynn. An unfathomable force has sent us a clear message. That the violin shouldn't be harmed. That the violin should be played, and produce wonderful-"

"It was you!" Lynn yelled, catching on.

"Me? That's so silly, dude."

"That's it, the stupid violin's pulp! You hear me?" Lynn ran to Leni but Luna ran ahead of her and snatched the violin from Leni.

"Scuse me, Leni." He kept a few yards between her and Lynn. "Okay fine, I admit it! It was me who sabotaged the plan! I had to, don't you see? How could I let you destroy this beautiful display of man's contribution to the symphonic arts?"

"You double crosser!" Lynn chases after her. "Wait'll I get my hands on you!"

Luna tripped. "Oh no!" She got up and saw that the violin was crushed. "What have I done?"

Lynn laughed. Lana showed up in a rabbit costume. "Oooooh! I'm telling Lola!" She sang as she hopped off. "I know what you did and you're in big trouble!"

"No! Don't tell, little bunny!" Leni begged.

"Eh, good riddance." Lynn said. "Violins are for sissies. Why, if I played an instrument I'd get something manly, like a kazoo or something."

Her sisters look at her. "What?"

"Um, Lynn? Lola's here." Leni pointed out. Lola grabbed Luna and Lynn and pummeled them.

"Hey, pound Luna!" Lynn said. "It was her fault!"

"Dude, you started this!"

"Leni, come here." Lola demanded.

Leni ran off screaming.

"LENI!" Lola chased after the older blonde.

"Run, Leni!" Lynn yelled.

Luna delivered an eulogy. "Fare thee well, oh brave violin. Nevermore to sing the brilliance of Chopin. Nevermore to sound the sonnets of-"

Leni stepped on Luna and pulled Lynn's ponytail and played it like a violin.

"Look little sis, I'm practicing! See?"

Lynn was in pain. "LENI!"

I have important news. I'm planning on ending Loud, Loudd n Louder when I get to chapter 50. So I have 11 chapters left to do. But I will choose the remaining episodes and I hope they'll turn out great for this fanfic. I'll be back next time with the next chapter that I'm really looking forward to.
