Chapter 53: Loud House Fever

Parody of the episode: Pineapple Fever. Requested by Ponypal600 (P.S no more requests from you)

"Lincoln, hurry up! We're heading out now!" Lori called from downstairs as the other sisters were there too.

"I'm coming!" Lincoln came out of his room, wearing a scavenger hat.

The kids went outside. They saw Clyde coming up to the house.

"Hey Clyde." Lincoln greeted.

"Hey Lincoln." Clyde said.

"Are you ready for the hike in the Woods today?"

"No...just kidding." He put on his scavenger hat. "I just hope I don't get any bee stings, or poison ivy, or mosquito bites, or rashes, or-"

"Clyde, are you sure you're prepared for this hike?" Lana asked.

"Yes, I'm totally prepared. Oh, wait guys, that reminds me. We should probably check the weather report before we go."

"Great idea." Lincoln said.

"And now for the weather." A guy on the tv said. Lincoln, his sisters, and Clyde were all sitting in the living room, watching the weather channel.

"Here we go." Lincoln said.

"Thank you Phil." The weatherman said. "Today's weather forecast calls for-"

He was given a piece of paper. He reads it.

"A horrible storm will ravage the Royal Woods area."

"A horrible storm?!" The kids said shocked.

"You heard me. Panic is not advised. Although, it is recommended. Also, an advisory has been issued to avoid any and all hiking in the woods if possible."

The tv was turned off. The parents had seen the weather report too.

"Kids, me and your mother are going to be in the basement for a while." Lynn Sr. said in a state of panic.

"But you're welcome to join us if you want." Rita said. They rush to the basement. Lincoln got some pieces of wood.

"Guys, help me nail these boards up."

"Lincoln, this seems like a strange time to be decorating." Leni said.

"Leni, do you not recognize fine decorating when you see it?" Lincoln showed her an small Ace Savvy card on the wall.

"You call that decorating?" Lola showed them some glitter stickers on the wall.

"Ooh, now that's something to admire." Leni said impressed.

"Well you can admire it later." Lincoln said and picked up a piece of wood and a hammer. "Right now we've gotta get the house converted into a shelter capable of withstanding extreme weather."

"You can say that again." Lana said.

"Actually I can't."

"Why?"

"Because I just stepped on one of these nails." Lincoln reveals a nail stuck to his shoe.

"Oh dear." Lisa said. "I better get the first aid kit."

At Mr. Grouse's house, the old man is tweezing his eyebrows in the bathroom. "Got ya. Now just one quick flick of the wrist and-"

Cut back to the Loud house and we see Lynn roughly nails a hammer which causes a racket at Grouse's house, and caused him to tear off his whole eyebrow. He falls down and sees his eyebrow that he's holding. He gets angry. Back at the Louds, the front door has been completely boarded.

"And we're finished." Lana said.

"Good job guys." Lincoln said. "Now our house can withstand anything nature has to throw at us."

Suddenly, the front door was completely broked open. Standing in front of the doorway was an angry Mr. Grouse.

"I guess Mr. Grouse isn't part of nature." Clyde said.

"Mr. Grouse, did you come to weather out the storm with us?" Leni asked, as she paid no attention to his anger.

"No! Wait, what storm?"

"The one Phil Preflemuster told us about." Lincoln said.

"Who's that?"

"He's the weatherman on the news channel." Clyde mentioned. "He said-"

"I can't understand a word you're saying."

"Oh come on, Mr Grouse, it'll be fun." Lincoln said. "While the elements rage outside we'll snuggle in here and past the time by playing board games, and playing tic tac toe, and drinking hot cocoa, and doing jigsaw puzzles, and watching tv."

"Yeah, and drinking hot tea." Leni added.

"I already said that Leni."

"No, you said cocoa."

"Oh, right."

"Well, I think I'll pass." Mr. Grouse said.

"Even if I let you borrow my bunny hat?" Luan held out her pink winter bunny hat.

"Hmm, I'll have to think about that."

Leni was wearing the bunny hat.

"Ok, but you'll have to think fast cause Leni really loves my-" Mr. Grouse starts to leave but the storm begins. He comes back all blackened as he has been struck by lightning.

"Mr. Grouse, welcome back." Lincoln said.

"Here's your hat." Luan handed him the bunny hat.

Lucy had a lit candle and placed it on the table. "There we go. All better."

The others were also in the living room, drinking hot cocoa and tea.

"What's better about it?" Mr. Grouse said. "I liked it better before, when I could see."

"But I like a darker room." Lucy said. "And the lights went out."

"Yes they did, when you turned them out."

Then Lola spit out her tea. "Leni!"

"What is it Lola?"

"You tea is so delicious!"

"Aw, Thanks Lola."

"Oh brother." Mr. Grouse said. "How about we play some of those games now?"

Another lightning bolt strikes. This one causes impact on the tree's leaves in the front yard. Inside the house, Mr. Grouse is playing tic tac toe with the twins.

"Ok guys, let's roll to see who goes first." Lola said.

"This is tic tac toe." Mr. Grouse said. "You don't roll to see who goes first."

"He's right." Lana said. "You play Rock Paper Scissors."

"Oh yeah." Lola said.

Mr. Grouse looked annoyed. They played Rock Paper Scissors.

"One." Lana said.

"Two." Lola said.

"Three." Mr. Grouse said.

They all did paper.

"It's a tie." Lola said.

"Dang it." Lana said.

They tried again. "One, two, three."

They all did paper again.

"Dang it!" Lana said annoyed. "Will you guys stop copying me?"

"What? You guys are copying me!" Lola replied annoyed.

"You always do this Lola. Don't try to deny it."

"I bet you're just choosing paper cause I always beat you with it. Well, I'm gonna change it up this time."

"Ok, I'll get you next time."

They played Rock Paper Scissors again. They keep getting ties as Mr. Grouse grew frustrated.

"There, I win. See?" Mr. Grouse showed them the paper that had three x's in a row crossed out.

"Hmm, I'm not a tic tac toe expert, but that doesn't look right." Lana said.

"Yeah, looks like a bunch of doodles." Lola added.

"What do you mean it doesn't look right?" Mr. Grouse snapped. "There's three in a row right here! Tic tac toe!"

"Easy friend." Lana said.

"Yeah, relax Mr. Grouchy, we're just here to have fun." Lola said. She got out a rule book and looked inside. "Hmm...ok, here we go. Congratulations Mr. Grouse."

"Well played." Lana said. She and Lola clapped for him. Mr. Grouse looked like he was about to cry.

"Come on Leni, you can do it!" Lincoln encouraged. "Be the puzzle piece."

Lincoln, Leni, Clyde, and Luan were in the dining room doing a jigsaw puzzle. Leni had the last puzzle piece but struggled to figure out where it went.

"Cannot complete jigsaw puzzle...difficulty level too advanced...rate of brain activity increasing...aging process by thirty years per second."

Leni thought so hard she turned into an old lady (so random).

"Come on grandma, you can do it!" Luan said. "You still got a few more years left in you."

Leni holds out an ear trumpet since she could barely hear. Luan yelled into it.

"Go Leni go! Go Leni go! Go Leni go! Go Leni go!"

The yelling woke Mr. Grouse, who was napping on the couch. He got angry and walked over to the dining room.

"I told you people I was trying to take over there! Now for the last time, can't you just-"

"Hang on Mr. Grouse, Leni was just about to figure out where this last puzzle piece goes." Lincoln stated. He yelled into the ear trumpet. "Weren't you Leni?"

"Who's the old man?" Leni said, talking about Mr. Grouse. "Is that Dad?"

"It's the last piece of the dang puzzle!" Mr. Grouse blurted. "There's only one place it can go! Right here!"

He pointed to the one empty space on the puzzle. Clyde gasped. "Mr. Grouse, it wasn't your turn. That's cheating."

"Cheating?! It's a jigsaw puzzle! You can't cheat!"

"That's ok. We'll just start over." Clyde rearranged the puzzle. Mr. Grouse was about to lost it.

"I gotta get outta here!" He tried to escape but he got struck by lightning again. He crawled back inside. The kids saw him all blackened.

"Lisa, what are the chances of surviving two lightning strikes?" Lincoln asked.

"Well, it is possible. The odds of surviving more than one would be surprisingly good."

Mr. Grouse got up.

"Glad you're back Mr. Grouse." Lincoln said. "Hey, how about we all play a game of Funopoly?"

The kids agreed.

"Are you in Mr. Grouse?"

"No."

"Aw, come on old dude." Luna said.

"No way."

The twins chanted- "Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on-"

"I have an even better idea." Mr. Grouse said. "This is a game called "Boundaries", which means everyone has to be quiet."

Leni raised her hand.

"Yes Leni?"

"Will there be any spelling in this game?"

"Not at all."

"Yes!"

"It's very simple. The object of the game is to see how long everyone can leave Mr. Grouse alone. Until the storm passes, he will stay inside boundaries he defines with crossing tape."

"I have a question." Clyde said.

"What?"

"Where are you gonna get the crossing tape?"

"I brought some!" Mr. Grouse held up the tape as he smiled evilly. He went upstairs and set up the tape across the top so now the kids couldn't cross into the hallway. He then went into Lincoln's room.

"Brilliant work, Grouse." He said as he laid on Lincoln's bed. "Now I just have to stay here until this storm blows over."

His stomach grumbled. "Wait a minute, I'm starving. Lincoln's gotta have some snacks around here somewhere."

He looked under the bed and food a bag of food inside. "Jackpot."

He started eating the food. Charles, who was also in the room noticed Mr. Grouse eating the food.

"I bet you wish you had some of this." Mr. Grouse taunted. Then he realized what he was eating. "Dog food?"

He immediately spit it out. Charles took back his food and growled at the old man. Mr. Grouse left the room. "I gotta find some real food. I'll check in the kitchen."

He was about to head downstairs but was stopped by Lynn, who was dressed as a police officer.

"Halt! No one is allowed to cross this boundary!"'

"I'm the one who put the tape there, you're not allowed to cross."

"If you put it there, let me see your identification papers."

"Indentifi-oh, fine. But when this storm is over, you're gonna regret this, missy." Mr. Grouse checked his pockets. "Hey, I don't have them! They must be in my other pants! Look, if you just let me cross, I can go and get them. Please, I promise I'll-"

"Hmm...I guess you are being honest." Lynn said.

"Oh thank you, thank you! I'm just so hungry!"

"But then again, you might be lying. Come with me and we'll find the truth."

Mr. Grouse growled. "That'll be the day." He ran through the tape went downstairs. Lynn blew her whistle and ran after him. Mr. Grouse got to the fridge and got some food.

"Stop that elderly man!" Lynn jumped onto him. Mr. Grouse ran around the dining room with Lynn hanging onto him.

"Please, just let me get back to my side of the boundary!" Mr. Grouse pleaded.

"I can't allow that! It's against the rules!"

"But all I wanted was something to eat!"

"Did somebody say something to eat?" Lana said as the others heard the commotion. Mr. Grouse bumped into them, causing the food to fly all over the living room. The kids and Mr. Grouse laid in a pile on the floor. Mr. Grouse got up.

"My food!"

Lincoln got up. "Your food?"

"Hey, I want some too!" Lynn got up. The other got up and everyone went wild, acting like animals. Lola and Lana wrestled over a pizza box, Lucy got a can of soda and hid under the couch. She hissed at the others like a snake. Lynn got a meatball sub and Luna and Lori tackled her for it. Mr. Grouse got a sandwich and ran off with it. Lincoln swung by with a rope and swiped the sandwich from him. Mr. Grouse pounded his chest and screeched like a gorilla. He and Lincoln fought over the sandwich until it flew out off their hands, causing it to get stuck to the ceiling. Mr. Grouse and Lincoln stopped fighting.

"Everyone stop!" Mr. Grouse yelled. Everyone looked at Mr. Grouse. "Is this really what we've come to? Is one little storm all it takes to turn us into complete animals?"

"Apparently so." Lincoln said sadly.

"Well, that and a fridge full of food anyways." Lori added.

Then Mr. Grouse heard something. "Wait, did you hear something?"

Lincoln pointed at Lily, who had an can of gummy worms. "That's Lily drinking from her can of gummy worms."

"No, not that. From outside." Mr. Grouse went to the door. "The storm must have stopped!"

"Mr. Grouse, wait!" Lincoln called.

Mr. Grouse tore the boards off the door. "So long suckers!"

He ran out of the house, but was unaware that the house was on a tornado and fell off screaming. He landed on the ground with a thud.

"Curse you Preflemuster." He groaned.
