Chapter 12: Wet Painters
I'm back with the next chapter! A Wet Painters parody! I decided to use Luan and Leni, also Mr. Grouse as Mr. Krabs. Now that you got the info, please read and review. Enjoy!
Luan, Lori, and Leni are all hanging out in the front yard of their house.
"Hey Lori." Luan called. "Check this out! Two ordinary pie cans. But when expertly tossed with the skill of a champ they become-"
Luan tossed the pie pans across the floor. Leni jumped into them and slid across the ground.
"A one way ticket to pain!"
Leni crashes into Mr. Grouse's yard and breaks a lawn ornament. Mr. Grouse heard this from inside his house. "Huh?"
Outside, Luan is riding on Leni's back as they slide through Mr. Grouse's lawn.
"Yeah hoo!" Luan shouted.
They crash. Mr Grouse opens his front door, annoyed. "What the heck is going on out here?! Can't you Louds do something quiet...in your own lawn?!"
"But Mr. Grouse, we were performing a ritual for my birthday gigs." Luan explained. "And the only way for the ritual to work is for us to get hurt. Really bad."
"What idiot told you that?" Mr. Grouse asked.
Lori heard this. Feeling sheepish, she covered herself with a magazine.
"Listen, instead of killing yourselves, I've got something real important for you to do for me." Mr. Grouse suggested.
Luan and Leni are now inside Mr. Grouse's house. He leads them to his basement. They're all standing by the basement door. "So are you girls ready for your super-"
"Super." They repeated.
"Special-"
"Special!"
"Secret." Mr. Grouse said quietly.
"Secret." Leni and Luan said quietly.
"Assignment!"
Leni and Luan freaked out. They were not prepared for an assignment.
"The two of you are gonna paint the inside of my basement." Mr. Grouse finally said.
"Yay!" Luan and Leni cheered.
"But let me give you two a warning." Mr Grouse said sternly, handing the teens each a bucket of paint. "This paint is absolutely permanent. It will never come off. So if I see even one drop on anything but the wall, I'll take one personal belonging from both of you!"
Luan and Leni looked worried.
"I'll be out shopping." Mr. Grouse said in a calm tone. "So have fun with the job."
Mr. Grouse left. Leni and Luan entered the basement. They noticed Mr. Grouse had a lot of stuff on his wall, which would make the job harder.
"Leni?" Luan asked.
"Yeah, Luan?" Leni replied.
"Mr. Grouse sure has a lot of expensive treasures to drip paint on. Do you think we should take this stuff off the wall?"
"No, Luan." Leni responded. "We're not getting paid to move stuff."
"Leni, we're not getting paid at all." Luan reminded her.
"That's what I said. We're not getting paid and that's final."
"Ok, we'll just paint around all this stuff." Luan suggested.
"Good. Just don't pay me."
"First, we need to set out the tarps." Luan said.
"Tarp ahoy!" Leni replied. They set out the tarp on the floor, but it turns out to be a small piece.
"We're gonna need more coverage, Leni."
They set out more tarps but they don't cover the whole floor.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." Luan said. She turned to her sister. "Well, I guess we should open these cans of permanent paint now."
"That will never ever ever come off." Leni said.
"And if we get it on anything, Mr. Grouse will take away our personal belongings." Luan said worried. "I can't lose my Mr. Coconuts!"
"And I can't lose my...sunglasses." Leni said. "Wait, where are my sunglasses?!"
"They're on your head, Leni." Luan said. "Like they usually are."
"Oh. Right."
Luan took out a screwdriver and tried to open the lid carefully. Leni began to panic.
"Careful Luan! Careful Luan! Luan! Be careful! Careful Luan! Careful Luan! CAREFUL LUAN!"
"Leni, the lid's already off." Luan said, holding the lid.
"Oh. Now it's my turn." Leni takes out a battle ax and hits the bucket with it. Luan grabs the other paint can.
"I think I should do this one too, Leni." Luan unscrewed the second can but a drop of paint flew out. Luan and Leni screamed. The drop bounced off a tarp. Leni and Luan screamed even louder. The drop bounced off all the tarps and landed back in the bucket.
"Well, that was a rip off." Leni said.
"Ok Leni, let's get our brushes ready." Luan held up a big brush. "Um, maybe we should start with a smaller brush."
Luan took out a smaller brush but Leni took the big one. Luan dipped her paintbrush into the paint. She walked over to the wall to start the task.
"Alright Leni, gotta get started." Luan said nervously. "Painting this wall. With the permanent paint that we aren't allowed to get on anything but the wall. Well, here we go."
One hour later….
Luan was still standing in the same spot, sweating nervously. "Just a few more seconds of mental preparation and I'll be painting this wall."
Two hours later...
Luan is still standing in the same spot and sweating. "I'm getting to the painting."
Three hours later...
Leni was actually holding a card that said "Three hours later" on it. "Can you move along? I'm running out of time cards."
"No problem." Luan replied nervously. "Here I go."
She finally painted a tiny line on the wall. Luan looked proud of herself. But then the line starts to go down. Luan quickly blew on the paint but now it went in a different direction. Luan panicked. She continued blowing the paint, trying to avoid getting it on any other stuff as it kept going in different directions. Then she pulled out a hair dryer that blew on the paint. It formed a bubble that blew off the line. Luan blew on the hair dryer, feeling proud. But then she saw a big bubble in front of her.
"Oh my gosh! What could be worse than a giant paint bubble?" Luan panicked.
"Oh. I know." Leni replied. She got a bubble wand and dipped it in the can of paint. Then she blew another giant bubble. "Two giant paint bubbles!"
Luan panicked. The paint bubbles merge together to create a bigger bubble. "Leni?"
"Yeah, Luan?"
"I don't think this bubble can get much bigger."
"Nonsense." Leni now had an air pump and used it to make the bubble even bigger.
"LENI, NO!"
The bubble popped and drops of paint spread everywhere on the wall. Luan moves from one spot and the paint landed in her spot. Luan was amazed that all the white paint got on the wall and didn't get on anything else.
"We did it, Leni!" Luan cheered. "We painted the whole house. And without getting any paint on anything but the-" She noticed something. "Flippin' fruitcake! What's that?!"
She saw a tiny dot of paint on Mr. Grouse's family picture that was hung on the wall. She fell on her back. Leni walked up to her. "We're dead, Leni! Do you know what that is?"
Leni looked closely. "Hmm. It's a picture. I win!"
"That's not just a picture!" Luan stated. "It's Mr. Grouse's family picture. Probably his most prized possession. And we got paint on it!"
"I think you're overreacting, Luan. I don't see any paint."
Luan picked up the picture. "Ok. This isn't a problem. Maybe I can just whip it off." Luan used her gag flower to wipe off the paint but only made it more noticeable. She wiped it harder but now it was covering the whole picture, and she freaked out over this.
"Oh. Now I see it." Leni pointed out.
"This is not good, Leni. This is not good! Mr. Grouse will be home soon, and when he sees what we did to his family picture-"
Luan and Leni pictured Mr. Grouse wearing Leni's sunglasses and using Mr. Coconuts as wood for his fireplace. He is sipping tea and has a smug look on his face. Luan and Leni come back to reality and screamed.
"Wait Luan, all we just gotta do is wash the paint off and Grouse will never know." Leni stated.
"But Mr. Grouse said-"
"Forget what Mr. Grouse said! Every paint comes off with something!"
First, Luan and Leni tried getting rid of the paint by putting it in a washing machine. They took the picture off its frame.
"Did it work?" Luan asked her sister, who was in the machine.
Leni came out with the picture. "Nope."
Next, Luan is using a sanding machine to clean the picture.
"Did it work?" Luan asked.
"Nope." Leni said, holding the undamaged picture.
Then, Luan used a hose to wash off the paint while Leni held it.
"Did it work?" Luan asked.
"Nope." Leni replied, as she was soaking wet.
Now, Luan was using a baseball bat to hit the picture that Leni was holding but Leni got injured. They had also used a bunch of other weapons that didn't work.
"Nothing's working!" Luan cried.
"Wait, Luan, we're not cavemen." Leni mentioned. She and Luan went to Mr. Grouse's computer. "We have technology."
Leni picked up the computer and smashed it on the picture. But of course, that didn't help.
"It didn't work." Luan said.
"This is like, all Mr. Grouse's fault!" Leni said angrily. "If he hadn't hung that stupid picture in the first place. Why didn't he just put it in a photo album?" Leni angrily kicked a drawer. It opened up and she saw another picture of Mr. Grouse's family. It looked exactly the same as his family picture he hung in the basement.
"Oh great. Another family picture. Just what we need." Leni said sarcastically.
Luan looked in the drawer and saw the picture. "Wait a minute. It is just what we need! He must've taken a second photo with his family. Our belongings are saved! Let's go hang this on the wall."
Leni was about to pick up the picture but then the drawer automatically closed by itself. A recorded voice was heard. "Intruder alert! Stay away from Bud Grouse's drawer!" Leni and Luan backed away.
"I guess we can't go into his drawer." Luan said. "Ok, ok! We still got time!"
Luan went to a mirror. "Don't panic Luan! Panic is the enemy! You are strong! Through your strength you shall overcome!"
Just then, Mr. Grouse's voice was heard outside. He was singing a tune and he was back from his shopping.
"You're on your own, kid." Luan's reflection said and left.
Luan started to panic. "Quick Leni! Let's go to the basement and put Grouse's picture on the wall! I have an idea!"
Mr. Grouse walked into his house. He set his groceries in the kitchen. "I better go check on those girls."
Mr. Grouse heads to his basement. He opens the door to see the lights are off. "What the-"
"We're all done sir." Luan said. "Everything looks great."
"Yeah, you don't have to look around. We already did that for you." Leni mentioned.
Mr. Grouse turns the light on. The two girls are both smiling nervously.
"You both look like you've got a dirty secret." Mr. Grouse said. Luan and Leni looked worried. "Ha. I'm kidding. Let's see how you did." Mr. Grouse looked around. "Hmm, not bad girls, not bad. A nice even coat. High gloss. No bubbles."
"Yeah. Looks great Mr. Grouse." Luan said nervously. "We'll just be going."
Luan and Leni were about to leave but Mr. Grouse noticed something. "Holy Hannah! Look what you did!"
Luan and Leni begged for mercy. "We're sorry, Mr. Grouse! Please don't take away our stuff!"
"Sorry? You dusted all my Knick knacks." Mr. Grouse confirmed. "That was real nice of you!"
He noticed something else. "Great geysers! What's that?"
Luan and Leni begged for mercy again. "It was an accident! Don't take our stuff!"
Mr. Grouse looked at the paintings at the bottom of the wall. There were paintings of cars driving on the road. "And I suppose the floor molding just painted itself. That's what I call craftsmanship." He noticed something else. "Criminy Jim Jim! You messed up my photo...camera!"
Mr. Grouse went to a table and took his camera, inspecting it. He fixed the lens. "There we go, good as new. And you girls thought I wouldn't notice. Oh well, no harm done. Ok girls, you're free to go."
But then the old man bumped into a stack of paintings on the wall. "Ow! That's funny. I don't remember all these paintings on the wall where my family photo used to be." He examined the paintings. "In fact, I don't remember this one at all." Mr. Grouse took off the paintings from the wall, saying he didn't remember any of them. Luan and Leni were shaking with fear. Mr. Grouse took off the last painting, he found Luan glued to the wall.
"Hi Mr. Grouse." Luan greeted nervously.
"Luan, what are you doing?" Mr. Grouse asked.
"Oh, just sticking around." Luan laughs at her joke. "Get it?"
"Boo!" Leni gave Luan a thumbs down.
"Get off my wall, Loud." Mr. Grouse ordered.
"I wish I could, but I'm stuck." Luan said. But Mr. Grouse easily pulled her off the wall. "No no, Mr. Grouse! Don't look at the trick!"
Grouse saw his family photo on the wall. He glared at the two Loud sisters. "Did you girls get paint all over my family picture?"
We're so sorry!" Leni and Luan apologized.
Mr. Grouse looked back at the picture. "And then did you draw on it with crayon?!"
The photo now had a poorly drawn version of Mr. Grouse and his family. Luan turned to her older sister who had a crayon in her hand.
"I thought he might buy it." Leni said.
"Alright girls, you know what I gotta do now?" Mr. Grouse asked angrily.
"Take our personal stuff?" Luan answered.
"Can I say goodbye to my glasses first?" Leni asked.
But Mr. Grouse just grabbed his picture and licked the paint off. Now his picture was clear. He hung his picture back on the wall. "There we go. Good as new."
Luan and Leni were stunned. "But but but but but but-"
"Yeah, I lied. This paint actually comes off with saliva." Mr. Grouse confesses.
Luan realized something. "Oh, I get it. You told us the paint was permanent so me and Leni would be more careful and not get paint on anything."
"No." Mr. Grouse replied. "I just like to mess with you." He starts laughing.
Angry, Leni and Luan leave Mr. Grouse's house. Mr. Grouse continues laughing. He laughs so hard, saliva comes out of his mouth and spreads everywhere. He stops laughing when he sees the paint dripping off the walls.
"Crud." Mr. Grouse said. "I really gotta learn to say it, not spray it."
