Chapter 66: Welcome to the Shroud House
A parody of the episode: Welcome To The Chum Bucket
Requested by guest
Lisa had invited her best friend Darcy over for a visit. It was now evening and Darcy had to go back home for dinner. Lisa also has other plans.
"I had a great time with you today, Lisa." Darcy said.
"Same here, Darcy." Lisa said. "Now I've got a card game tonight."
"Who are you playing cards with?"
"I'm going over to the Shroud house to play with Lena."
Darcy gasps. "Lena? But Lisa, she's your arch enemy. She's always trying to steal your greatest invention. Why would you play cards with her?"
"Between you and me, Lena is the worst card player in Royal Woods. Why I've been taking her to the cleaners every Thursday night for months."
We see a flashback of Lisa winning a card game and claiming Lena's chemistry sets.
"I never lose!"
Lisa and Darcy laugh and walk off in different directions.
The next day, Lisa is sitting on the porch crying her eyes out. Darcy comes over, laughing.
"Taking her to the cleaners. That's a good one."
She goes up to Lisa. "Hi Lisa, how'd the card game go last night?"
"I lost."
Darcy was surprised. "Gosh Lisa, how many chemistry sets did you lose?"
"I didn't lose any chemistry sets. I lost-"
"Don't tell me you lost your house?"
"I lost-"
"Lisa, please tell me you didn't lose your greatest invention!"
"I lost...you!"
"What?" Darcy said confused.
"I bet your contract and I lost."
Darcy takes this as a joke. "Good one Lisa. Well, let's head inside and play."
Darcy tried to head inside but Lisa pushed her away.
"I'm afraid you can't play here anymore."
Darcy got sad. "Please tell me this is a joke! Is this a cruel sick joke?!"
Then Lena shows up. "As much as I love cruel sick jokes, I'm afraid she's not joking, dear Darcy. You're my best friend now. Time to put on the official Lena's friend bracelet."
Darcy took out a spiked bracelet. Darcy screamed and pushed Lena away.
"Lisa, I don't want to be friends with her! I want to be friends with you!" Darcy started crying.
"I know Darcy, it's all my fault!" Lisa sobbed. The two four olds hugged each other as they cried.
"What kind of cold, heartless person would break apart such a loving relationship?" Lena asked in a sympathetic tone before getting sinister. "I would!"
She got out a crowbar and used it to separate the two besties. Darcy was sent flying.
"Darcy!" Lisa exclaimed.
"Lisa!"
Darcy landed on the ground and Lena handcuffed herself to Darcy. Darcy struggled against her.
"This is your greatest blunder, Loud!" Darcy said to Lisa. "For months, I've been playing those card games just waiting for you to slip up. I may not have your precious secret invention, but I've got your old best friend who surely knows about it. I'm gonna ruin you, Loud!"
Lena activated her jetpack and flew off with Darcy.
"Lisa!" Darcy yelled.
"Darcy!" Lisa yelled back and broke into tears again.
The evil scientist had arrived back to her home with Darcy.
"Let me go!" Darcy yelled.
"If you insist." Lena used a key to unlock her from the handcuff and Darcy fell into the chimney screaming. She came out the other end and was in the living room.
"What is this place?" Darcy looked around and saw all kinds of machinery, which terrified her. Lena came in through the front door.
"Alright best friend, I'm ready for our play date!"
"A-actually Lena, I haven't, Uh…"
"Perhaps you don't understand. We're friends now and as your friend, I command you to have a playdate with me this instant or I'll be forced to remove your brain and implant in my robot slave!"
Lena pointed to a robot who looked like Darcy.
"So let's go to my room."
The two toddlers are now in Lena's room. Her room has a lot of beakers and other chemistry stuff like Lisa's.
"Now you stay here while I prepare some snacks for us in the kitchen." Lena said. "You can look around but don't touch my lab equipment."
Lena headed to the kitchen. Darcy looked around the room, which looked like an evil lair. There was also a torture machine. She went to sit down on Lena's bed. Then a laser beam shot out of it, startling her. Luckily, she ducked. Then she looked at a sign above Lena's doorway that said "Lena's Room."
"The sign says "Lena's Room" but my heart says "Jail." Darcy said sadly. She then remembered the times she spent with Lisa. A montage of Darcy and Lisa's friendship is shown. It includes Lisa doing an experiment on Darcy, the two having ice cream, Darcy teaching Lisa how to skate, the two having a tea party with Lola, and more. The montage ends. At the Loud house, Lisa is sadly remembering the times she had with Darcy while looking at a picture of her and Darcy. Back at the Shroud house, Darcy is looking at the same picture. Then she cries on the floor. In the kitchen, Lena witnessed this on a security camera and so did her older sister, Alison.
"What is she doing?" Lena questioned. "All these tears, and it looks like she was reminiscing. What's wrong with her? Whatever, I'll just put her brain in my robot slave."
"You know that never works." Alison replied. "The answer is obvious. To get to your new best friend, you must show her compassion and understanding, then she'll give you what you want."
"Will you be quiet? I'm thinking!" Lena said. "I've got it. I'll give Lena compassion and understanding, then she'll give me what I want."
Alison groaned in annoyance.
In Lena's room, Lisa had touched one of Lena's beakers even though she was told not to. She accidentally broke one of them, but there was nothing inside it. She tried to fix the pieces with tape. Lena came back with snacks.
"Hi."
Darcy panicked. "Lena, I'm sorry! I broke one of your beakers! It was an accident! Please don't take my brain out!"
"Hold it Darcy, I'm capable of compassion and understanding."
"Really? Then I'd like to go back to being friends with Lisa."
"Let's not get carried away. Now what can I do to make you more comfortable at my place?"
"Well, I usually play with a stuffed animal."
"I've got just the thing." Lena got out her toy chest from her closet and opened it. "Here's a collection of stuffed animals."
"Wow!" Darcy said amazed. She rummaged through the chest and took out some animals. "Wow. You've got monkeys and pandas, and-is that a unicorn?"
She takes out the stuffed unicorn and noticed a button on its horn. "What's this?"
"No, wait!" Lena warned, but Darcy presses the button. A laser beam shot out of it, damaging Lena's hair and leaving a bald spot.
"Wow." Darcy said impressed. "That's amazing!"
Lena growled as she got irritated.
"I don't know, something still doesn't feel right."
Darcy was now wearing a blindfold as she was being guided into another room.
"Just a few more steps, Darcy." Lena instructed. "Ok, go ahead. Take it off."
Darcy took the blindfold off and saw the room she was in looked familiar.
"It's an exact replica of Lisa's room." Lena presented.
Darcy gasped with joy. "It is an exact replica. Here's the baby crib! The beakers! The science poster!"
Then she saw a weird looking invention.
"And that thing. Can we play with your chemistry set, Lisa?" Then Darcy broke into tears when she realized she wasn't with Lisa. "Lisa!"
"Don't cry, Darcy." Lena said. "It's much better being friends with me. Is there anything that loser Loud wouldn't let you do?"
"Well, there is one thing I've always wanted to do."
Darcy was using a pogo stick in the room now.
"Whoo! This is fun!" Darcy said happily.
"So now that you have everything you need, how about we discuss about secret inventions?" Lena suggested.
"Well-"
Now Lena was doing combing Darcy's hair as Darcy was eating ice cream. "Ready to discuss secret inventions?"
"Wait till I finish my ice cream." Darcy replied.
Next, Darcy was swimming in a pool.
"Secret inventions?" Lena asked again. But Darcy just splashed her with water.
Lena was reading a bedtime story to Darcy as they were seated in a chair. "And the little fairy said-"
Darcy has fallen asleep on Lena and got drool on her. Lena was irritated. She was about to blast her with a laser gun, but stopped herself.
"Easy Lena, this'll all pay off soon enough." She told herself and threw the gun away. Then Darcy woke up.
"Hey there, sleepyhead. How about we have a best friend conversation?"
"That sounds great."
"Alright, let's talk about secret inventions."
"I want to talk about favorite animals."
Lena chuckled. "Good one Darcy. But seriously, let's chat about inventions."
Darcy yawned. "Nah, I don't really feel like it."
"But I don't understand. You have the toy chest, the pogo stick, the chair, I rubbed your putrid feet!"
"Tell ya what, shorty, why don't you talk to me later?"
"I command you to discuss secret inventions with me this instant!" Lena said angrily.
"No!" Darcy said, acting like a brat.
"Don't backsass me!"
Darcy mimicked Lena in an insulting manner.
"What?!"
Darcy made a fart sound at Lena.
"That's it, missy! You just lost your brain privileges!"
Lena had used some kind of invention to remove Darcy's brain from her head. She implanted it in her robot slave.
"Finished!" Lena went into her room, holding a remote. "Oh Darcy, come in here."
She pressed the button on her remote. The robot that looked like Darcy came in. It now had Darcy's brain in a small glass dome.
"Or should I say Robot Darcy. It's convenient that I had a robot that looks just like her. You shouldn't have been such a spoiled brat, Darcy. You see, I always get what I want, and I want you to discuss Lisa's secret invention with me!"
She pressed the button on her remote. The robot was functioning.
"Response: why don't you ask me later?" The robot slave replied.
"What?" Lena said in disbelief. "What?!"
Get welded." The robot walked away.
"Wait, I command you to tell me Lisa's greatest invention!" Lena presses the button some more.
"I don't wanna." The robot slave said as it was now relaxing in a chair. Lena fumed and screamed in frustration.
Back at the Loud house, Lisa was outside, sadly working on an invention. Lena came over in her jetpack and walked up to Lisa. She was in tears.
"I can't take it anymore. You've got to take that nightmare of a friend back! It's not worth it! I'm better off stealing your invention fair and square!"
Lisa decided to take advantage of Lena's predicament. "Well, I don't know Lena. A deal's a deal. She's your bestie now."
"Oh please, have mercy Lisa, I'll do anything! I beg of you!"
"Hmm...how about you offer me thirty bucks and I'll take her off your hands."
"It's a deal!" Lena gave thirty dollars to her arch enemy. "I cheated anyway."
"Now get out of here, you pest!"
Lena flew off with her jetpack. "Thank you Loud!"
Darcy was now back at the Loud house, now friends with Lisa again. Her brain was now back in her head as there was a bandage on her head. "My brain and I are glad to be back, Lisa."
"Well, it's good to have you, old friend. But I require something from you?"
"What is it?"
"A brain transplant to my robot."
Darcy looked shocked and scared.
"I'm just kidding." Lisa laughed. Then Darcy laughed nervously.
