Ch 130: Slushie Hype
A parody of the episode: Patty Hype.
The chapter starts with Lincoln and Clyde walking over to Flip's Food n Fuel.
Clyde: Have you ever thought of trying a new drink?
Lincoln: Not really. As long as Flippees are still around.
Clyde: Yeah, everyone loves Flippees.
However, inside the convenience store, it is dirty and covered in cobwebs, looking rather rundown and decrepit. A spider is seen making a web. Flip himself is also seen covered in dust against the wall and sneezes the dust off.
Flip: Ah-ah-achoo! [sighs] 36 days without a customer.
Lincoln and Clyde enter and are surprised at what they see.
Lincoln: Whoa, this place has really gone downhill.
Flip: Ah! [squeals in delight, revealing a spider making its web in his mouth] Finally! Customers! I knew you two would be there for ol' Flip!
Clyde: How long has it been since you've had a customer?
Flip: 36 days!
Then a homeless man drags himself inside.
Homeless man: So... hungry…
Flip: Ah! Another customer!
Homeless man: No food... 3 days…
Flip: Hold on, bucko! Food's on the way! [goes to make a Flippee, but then has a second thought] Uhh... you got money, right?
Homeless man: Yeah...
Flip: [makes a Flippee and then offers it to him] Here you go, sir.
Homeless man: Oh. Flippees, huh?
Flip: Finest Flippees in town.
Homeless man: Yeah, yeah, sure. But where's the pizzazz?
Flip: Huh?
Homeless man: Look at this place. [the inside of the mini mart is all old and worn out, dusty and creepy] I mean, what is the theme here? Old convenience store? It's boring! [turns and crawls away] Food... water... atmosphere...!
Flip: Nobody goes to a convenience store for atmosphere. [runs to the door] They go for food! [looks out the door as Roger and Chaz see each other on the street]
Roger: Hey, Chaz!
Chaz: Roger! Hey, you wanna eat at Flip's Food n Fuel?
Roger: Nah, let's go to the Burpin' Burger. They've got a talking dog!
Chaz: [runs off with Roger] Great! Flip never had something like that!
Flip: [gasps] Money walking! I need to think up a gimmick like that to bring people back in here!
Lincoln: [tries to get Flip's attention] I have an idea!
Flip: Wait! I've got an idea!
Cut to outside of Flip's place, where a marching band plays, and a crowd gathers around Flip.
Flip:...And so ladies and gentlemen, be sure to buy plenty of Flippees as I bury myself alive! [Everyone cheers and confetti shoots up from the ground as Flip wields a shovel. He digs a hole, and then hops into it] No free refills. [scene cuts. Then, he pats the dirt in around him, leaving himself underground with no trace of him. Roger runs up to on top of where Krabs was buried]
Roger: Hey, everyone, listen! [the music stops] The talking dog at the Burpin' Burger is singing! Come on! [motions for everyone to follow, and they do, leaving Flip alone, under the ground.]
Cut to the inside of the Flip's place, where it has been cleaned out.
Lincoln: Flip, I have an idea!
Flip: What am I going to do? If I don't find an idea, I'll go out of business!
Lincoln: Flip, I have an idea!
Flip: Why can't someone give me an idea?
Lincoln: [getting frustrated] Flip, I have an idea!
Flip: [down on his knees, praying] Great Heavenly angel, I need an idea!
A divine light hits the owner, and the white haired boy comes down, playing the harp and dressed like an angel.
Lincoln: [sings] Flip, I have an idea!
Clyde is the one shown using pulleys and ropes to bring Lincoln down from the ceiling.
Flip: What in the name of money are you waiting for, boy?! [grabs Lincoln, removing his angel costume] Tell me!
Lincoln: Okay, Flip. Prepare yourself. Don't bother sitting down, because you'll just stand up when you see this! [makes a Lincoln-Lushie] Ta-da! [shows Flip a green slushie]
Flip: Holy guacamole! That Flippee's spoiled! [knocks it off of the plate and onto the ground, where he burns it with a flame thrower. The fire soon disappears to reveal Lincoln, wearing a hazmat suit, courtesy of Lisa]
Lincoln: [laughs] Flip, it's not tainted. It's painted. [The hazmat suit burns off, revealing him in regular clothing, with an artist's pallet in hand. On the palette, slushies lie in different colors] Lincoln Lushies! Available in rainbow colors and even colors not included in the rainbow.
Short pause then Flip laughs, and the boy looks broken-heartedly at his own creation.
Flip: [jokingly] Boy, that sure looks appetizing. [laughs] Wait! Gimme an grey Lushie... with extra purple! [laughs some more] What's next? [holds out a necklace formed with nachos] Nacho necklaces? [holds up a hot dog with a black suit on] Fancy dressed hot dogs?
Lincoln: [sadly] No.
The greedy jerk dances mockingly while chanting "Lincoln Lushies".
Lincoln: Stop it! [becomes indignant] I know this is a good idea.
Clyde: [supports his buddy] He'll show you! He'll... He'll... He'll open my own business! [walks out of the store with Lincoln] You'll see!
Flip watches them leave, then he continues laughing. Cut to Lincoln's neighborhood.
Lincoln: [angrily approaches an angry looking Leni] Hey, Leni, are you angry, too?
Leni: Yeah.
Lincoln: What's the matter?
Leni: I can't see my forehead. What's your problem?
Lincoln: I have a good idea, and no one else thinks so.
Leni: [no longer angry, and a cord appears from her dress] Me too. [pulls the cord, causing her dress to inflate and lift into the air a few feet. Leni is floating upside-down] Inflatable dress! What's your idea?
Lincoln: I'm gonna open up a restaurant and sell Lincoln Lushies!
Leni: [her dress deflates] Forget my dumb idea, that's great!
Cut to later, where the Loud boy has constructed a purple stand that says "Lincoln Lushies." His friend is behind a second one to the left of Lincoln that is brown and says "Pay Here".
Lincoln: Are you ready for the big rush, Clyde?
Clyde: You know it, buddy.
Lincoln: Pretty soon those hungry customers will be lining up, because we are open. [puts up an "Open" sign. Cut to him at the stand] I'm ready! [He is an adult with the same camera angling. He has glasses on, and longer hair. The Loud house looks different] I'm ready. [He is an old man with a long, white beard. The house looks old] I'm ready... [His gravestone behind the stand says "R.I.P. I'M READY." There is a vacant spot where his house previously was. He wakes up at the stand and sees that it was all a dream] Clyde, how long have we been standing here?
Clyde: Oh, I'd say like an hour…or more.
Lincoln: What if Flip was right? Maybe my idea is dumb. [becomes sad]
Clyde: Lincoln, Dr. Lopez once told me sometimes we have to go deep inside ourselves to solve our problems.
Lincoln: Come on, Clyde. Dr. Lopez doesn't have the solution to everything.
Businessman: [walks up to the stand] Hey, do you sell food here?
Lincoln and Clyde giggle, making the man feel awkward.
Lincoln: Yes, sir! We sell Lincoln Lushies! [holds out a green slushie]
Harold: That thing's green! [starts laughing hysterically] Green! [laughs some more]
Lincoln and Clyde frown.
Flip: Flip was right! What am I going to do with all these?! [holds out the palette of Lincoln Lushies in different colors, not just green, but also scarlet, teal, blue purple, red orange, and more.
Harold: [stops laughing] Hey, is that one purple? Purple is my favorite color. [takes blue-purple lushie and tries it] This isn't half bad. Hey, world! "Lincoln-Lushies" is the best idea ever!
Lincoln and Clyde are elated.
Back at Flip's Food n Fuel where there are now cobwebs on the outside and it is closed, Flip is in his cobweb covered office, eating popcorn and watching Love Boat, crying. A spider dangling from its web cries as well.
Cruise lady: [on TV] Oh, Rick, how could you? You and I, together we were one.
Rick: [on TV] That was before. But now I'm splitting us up.
Onscreen, a live-action amoeba splits into two amoebas. All of a sudden, it turns to a Royal Woods News emergency broadcast. The reporter, Katherine Mulligan, talks at a desk. Behind her is a bamboo screen showing a crowd of Royal Woods citizens cheering.
Katherine: We interrupt this program to bring you a special news announcement! This wild crowd behind me is screaming for Royal Wood's latest thirst quenching sensation. Let's take a listen.
All: [chanting] Lincoln Lushies! Lincoln Lushies!
Flip: Lincoln Lushies? [the spider comes down and steals Flip's popcorn]
Katherine: It's easy to see Lincoln Lushies are popular, but what is it about them that drives Royal Woods feeders wild?
Jackie and Mandee: They match our purses! [show their purses]
Scottish Man: [with Scottish accent, kilt, and bagpipe] They remind me of home. [holds up a plaid slushie]
Hockey player: [runs up] Lincoln Lushies rule! [flexes his muscles]
Katherine: Mr. Loud, how do you explain all this success?
Lincoln: I can thank much of it to my family and friend helping in every way possible [he gestures to the side to show that little stand's expanded]
Lola's the cashier and has a money counter (and obviously plans to buy more girly things with her cut of the profits), Leni's helping to pretty up the stand with the extra money rolling in while also now having the means to buy more dresses and also become the "mascot" for the whole thing, literally dressed up in a big soda cup costume, Luna's the music provider and able to now afford better instruments and maybe more Mick Swagger memorabilia, Lana's the janitor and going to use her money to buy years' worth of rations for her pets and maybe has plans to expand her mud puddle to a mud pool. Lisa's helping to manufacture the Lincoln-Lushies at customer-demanded time thanks to her tech while Lily helps sample each to make sure they're satisfying, and the genius toddler obviously plans to buy more chemicals or whatever. Luan's the entertainer, and obviously plans on getting more joked-themed stuff as part of her share. Lucy's offering a side fortune-telling booth so customers can get more than just slushies coming here, and wants to send her shares to the Mortician club so they can buy their own clubhouse to become an OFFICIAL organization. Lynn was twirling around a giant arrow shaped sign that said "Order Lincoln Lushies here", having her mind set on buying new athletic equipment. And lastly, the parents are helping out by coming up with new slushie flavors.
Flip: How can you make money with such a stupid idea?
Katherine: [the TV background has money falling] And how can you not make money with such a brilliant idea?
Lincoln: [laughs a bit before responding] Well I didn't have an idea on what to do with the money. We tried expanding our reach, [Flip's eyes widen a bit in cartoonish levels] making the stand look more professional, [Flip's eyes widen more] and even getting more Lincoln-Lushie types made, [hearing this makes Flip fall out of his chair in shock] but in the end, we're just using it for all our own things. [cut to the siblings buying the individual stuff they want]
Flip: I don't believe it! [runs out of his office] I've got to see this for myself! [runs out the door and into a customer]
Customer : Hey, watch it, buddy. I don't care how much you want your Lincoln-Lushie. You're gonna have to wait in line [shows Flip the very long line] like the rest of us.
Flip: I've never had… a line.
At Lincoln's stand, the "Now Serving" sign flips to 46,853.
Lisa: [through a megaphone] Who's #46,853?
An enormous amount of people surround them and they simultaneously declare themselves as #46,853. Flip makes his way to the front of the line.
Flip: [surprised] I never had 46,853 customers.
Lincoln: [hands a Lincoln Lushie to a little kid] Here you are, kid. Come back soon. All right. [notices Flip and looks smug] Well, well, well. Look who showed up. [Flip smiles nervously]
The other Louds notice Flip as well.
Lynn: What's he doing here?
Lana: We don't need any of your criticism.
Lola: Yeah, so either buy a Lincoln Lushie or leave.
Lincoln: As you can see, my Lincoln Lushies are a big hit.
Flip: [teary-eyed] They sure are, kid. You're doing pretty well for yourself. [sighs] Look, I just want to apologize for not believing in your idea.
Lincoln: Really?
Flip: Yeah. You're clearly a good businessman.
Lincoln: Wow. Thanks Flip. Other businesses in history failed and folded up because they couldn't adapt to the times.
Flip: I get it now. But I guess you've completely forgotten about the ol' Food n Fuel.
Lincoln: No, sir, I haven't. In fact sometimes I really miss the old days back at the Food n Fuel.
Flip: [gets an idea] Well, the Food n Fuel's only a short walk away. Why don't you and your family head on down. For old time's sake.
Lincoln: But what about the stand?
Flip: Don't worry, boy. I'll watch the stand for ya.
Lincoln: You will?
Flip: No! I've got a better idea. I'll take this old roadside stand off your hands. For keeps. And in exchange, I'll give you and your family the Food n Fuel. With all the Flippees, the hot dog grill, and everything else there.
The Louds can't believe what they just heard.
Lynn Sr: What did you just say?
Flip: Here's the key to the Food n Fuel. [gives Lincoln the key, which is composed of an F and a ring] She's yours now.
Lincoln: [receives the key, while still in a trance] I can't believe what I'm hearing. Thank you.
Rita: That's really generous of you, Flip.
Flip: Now go on. She's waiting for ya.
Luna: I know a way we can get there. [leaps onto the crowd] We need a ride to Flip's Food n Fuel on the double!
The rest of the Louds follow her lead and surf through the crowd.
Flip: Good luck, Louds!
Soon, they get thrown in front of Flip's Food n Fuel. They head inside excitedly. Lincoln even kisses the building. Luan, Lucy, and Leni get Flippees. Lynn throws nachos in the air. Lola takes over the office, the others dance around with joy, and Lincoln stands behind the counter. The whole mini mart is cleaned and refreshed. Cut back to the Lincoln Lushies stand.
Flip: Ladies and gentlemen! "Lincoln Lushies" is now under new management! [holds a green lushie] Who's next? [the crowd cheers]
Crowd: I am! I am! Over here!
It turns from nightfall to dawn which everyone falls asleep of having fun of drinking Lincoln Lushies and the rooster crows which wakes everyone up. Cut to Flip at the stand beside the Loud house. The "Free Money" stand has been disassembled.
Flip: I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready... for my money. [time passes by and no one has shown up yet] This is odd. Where is everyone?
He takes a walk through town and soon finds a long line of people…at his old Food n Fuel, which is now called "Loud Family Food n Fuel".
Flip: What the-?! Loud Family Food n Fuel?
Flip storms past the crowd and up to the mini mart.
Flip: What's going on here?
Lincoln: Oh, hey Flip. I know we had a deal yesterday but I decided I'd continue selling Lincoln Lushies since it was my idea. And Lola convinced me.
Lola: We made a little commercial to get everyone's attention.
Flip: But-but what about my business? What will I do?
Lynn Sr: Don't worry, Flip. We agreed to just sell Lushies for one more day. Then you can have your old Food n Fuel back.
Flip: Really?
Rita: Of course. It was originally your business.
Lincoln: And I made you this coupon so you get free Lushies. [hands Flip a coupon]
Lola: I still say we should charge him.
Lincoln: [sternly] Lola-
Lola: Fine. He can have free Lushies.
Flip: Thanks guys. You ain't so bad after all. I'm gonna get me some free Lushies right now.
Lynn: [stops him] Get to the back of the line, bub. You still have to wait in line like everyone else.
Flip: [looks at the long line behind him] Dang it.
I really liked this one. One of my more creative chapters with help from a fan who came up with the idea. Plus a happier ending than the original episode. But if you liked the original ending better, that's great. Hope you enjoyed it and I'll be back with the next chapter.
