Lincoln (In Luna and Luan's bedroom, dressed up in his magician outfit): "Ladies and gentlemen! I…Lincoln the Magnificent…will now do my newest and latest trick!"

Luna (Sitting on her bean bag chair, giving her brother a round of applause): "Woo-hoo! You got this bro!"

Lincoln: "As you can see…" (Takes out something): "I have this pad of paper." (Opens the pad and starts to draw on it): "Now watch as I draw …" (Turns the pad around): "…a ukulele. But wait, there's more to it than meets the eye."

Lincoln turns the pad sideways and starts to wipe his hand up and down on the drawing causing…music to be played?!

Luna: "Wow!"

Lincoln (Stops playing and takes a bow): "Ta-da!"

Luna: "Lincoln… that was amazing bro! How did you do it?"

Lincoln: "Sorry Luna, but a magician never reveals his secrets."

But once Lincoln said that a tiny real ukulele slides out of the pad and falls onto the bedroom floor.

Lincoln: "Heh-heh…oops."

Luna: "Don't worry little bro, your secret's safe with me."

Lincoln: "Thanks sis. And now…" (Pulls out a sheet): "I will make myself disappear before your very eyes."

With that Lincoln puts the sheet over himself and…Poof! The sheet floats down to the ground.

Luna: "Ooo…"

Luan (Walks into the room, while carrying a box of joke props): "Hey Luna."

Luna: "Hey sis, how did the party gig go?"

Luan (Takes a deep breath): "Sigh…Okay, I guess. The kids wouldn't stop laughing at my clown routine."

Luna: "But you sound bummed dude, don't you want the kids to laugh at your jokes?"

Luan (Puts the box down on the desk): "I do, it's just that…" (Turns to face her sister): "…I don't know. I guess that I'm getting a bit tired of doing the same comedy acts for the parties that I get hired to do. And I fear it might catch up with my customers sooner or later."

Luna: "That should be easy enough to fix then, just come up with some new acts."

Luan: "I've been trying that for the past few days. But every idea I had doesn't seem to want to stick."

Lisa (Knocks on the open door): "Pardon the interruption Luan, but would it be all right, if we discuss an important matter?"

Luan: "Umm…Sure Lis." (Turns to face her younger sister): "What's up?"

Lisa: "You do remember that you arranged to be the entertainer for Darcy Helmandollar's birthday party tomorrow, correct?"

Luan (Raises an eyebrow): "Yeah, what about it?"

Lisa: "Well, since being Darcy's friend and all, she has invented me to the festivities. And I have been wondering if you and I could perhaps walk there together, so our parental units won't have to worry about dropping me off there themselves while dealing with other adult responsibilities they might have that day."

Luan: "Oh…" (Smiles at her sister): "That should be fine."

Lisa (Smiles as well): "Excellent! Oh…Another question…" (Looks around): "Have you two seen Lincoln anywhere? For some odd reason Darcy decided to invite him to her party as well." (Takes out a piece of paper): "And has asked me to give him this invitation she constructed. Oddly she drew a balloon with a big red heart in front of it."

Luna: "He was in here not too long ago, showing me some of his magic tricks, dude. But then he made himself disappear."

Lisa (Rolls her eyes): "Figures. Well, knowing elder brother, he could be with one of our other siblings, showing off his attempts at mystical illusions to them." (Walks off): "I better go investigate."

Luna (Gets an idea): "Hey, why not do some magic tricks for your party gigs?"

Luan: "Magic?" (Turns back around): "I don't know Luna. I know a few tricks, but don't they make kids laugh."

Luna: "Then why not ask Lincoln for help?"

Luan: "Lincoln?"

Luna: "Yeah, the little dude knows a ton about magic. I'm sure he will love to teach you what he knows."

Luan: "Maybe..."

Luna: "Actually…" (Tapes her chin): "This wouldn't be the first time you a Linc did a comedy-magic mashup together."

Luan (Very confused): "What are you talking about?"

Luna: "You don't remember, dude?"

Luan: "Remember what? Is there something I need to know?"

Luna: "Well…it did happen a long time ago. You see..."

As Luna starts to tell her story, let's take a trip through time, shall we? A trip into the past to be precise. To a time when Lana and Lola were only one-years-old, Luna was eleven, Luan ten, and Lincoln seven years old. We head over to the Loud House living room where...

Lana and Lola (In their play-pen crying their eyes out): "Wahhhhhh!"

Luan (Comes into the room with her puppet, Mr. Coconuts in hand): "Don't fret little ladies, my partner and I know just the thing that will help turn those frowns of yours all the way around."

Mr. Coconuts (Being voiced by Luan): "And what might that be toots?"

Luan: "You know silly."

Mr. Coconuts (Shakes his head): "Not a clue."

Luan: "Jokes!"

Mr. Coconuts (Slaps his face): "Oh…right."

Luan: "Okay here's one…what do you call two twin babies when they start to act like dogs?"

Mr. Coconuts: "I don't know, what?"

Luan: "Twin pups! Ha-ha! Get it?"

Lana and Lola: "Wahhhhh!"

Lincoln (Walks into the room, wearing a top hat, while carrying a box): "Aww, don't be sad Lana and Lola." (Puts the box down): "With my new, magic kit…I Lincoln the great…will amaze you with my incredible tricks." (Takes off his hat): "See my top hat?" (Shakes it up and down): "There's nothing in it see. But watch…" (Turns the hat upside-down and puts his hand in it): "…as I pull out a…huh? That's weird…" (Moves his hand around): "Where's my rabbit?" (Feels something): "Got it!" (Starts to pull): "Nrghhhh…"

But instead of a rabbit, Lincoln pulls out a deck of cards that flew everywhere.

Lincoln: "Dang it."

Lola and Lana: "Wahhhhhh!"

Luan (Annoyed): "What do you think you are doing Lincoln?"

Lincoln: "Trying to make our little sisters smile."

Luan: "But that's what I'm here to do! Beat it!"

Lincoln: "But I'm just trying to spread smiles around."

Luan: "Then do it somewhere else then. Because I…"

Lola and Lana (Crying louder than ever before): "Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Luna (Runs into the room, not happy): "Nice going dudes! You upset the little tykes even more now."

Lincoln: "Don't worry Luna." (Pulls out a magic wand): 'I got this!"

Luan: "Oh no you don't!"

Without a warning, Luan pounces on her little brother, causing a cartoonist fight cloud to form around them.

Lana and Lola: "Wahhhhhhhh!"

Luna: "Guys, cut it out!"

The fight cloud soon disappears, revealing that both siblings are now off each other both out of breath. Well…Luan's out of breath… Lincoln's more of shaking out of fear. But what the duo hasn't realized yet is that…somehow…they are now wearing each other's clothing.

Lana and Lola: "Pff…. Hahahaha…"

Lincoln and Luan (Both realize what's going on and were shocked when they looked across from each other): "Huh?!"

Lola and Lana (Clapping their hands in applause): "Hahaha!"

Luan (With a raised eyebrow): "What? They like that?"

Lincoln (Gets an idea): "Hmmm…" (Turns to his sister with a smirk): "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Lana and Lola: "Tee-hee…"

Lincoln (Holding his top hat again): "Now watch as I…Lincoln the Great…pull…"

Luan (Puts her head through the bottom of the hat and up the top): "Me! Luan is out of his hat! Ha-ha!"

Lola and Lana: "Yay! Hahaha!"

Luan (Juggling some balls in the air): "Watch me juggle these balls."

Lincoln (With a magic wand in hand): "But wait, I can turn your balls into…" (Waves the wand): "Shazam!" (Throws his deck of cards into the air, while Luan drops the balls and catches each card one by one in her hands): "Playing cards!"

Luan and Lincoln: "Ta-da!"

Lana and Lola (On their backs laughing away): "Hahahahahhaha…"

Luna: "Ha-ha! Okay, I have to admit dudes. That was pretty funny.

The two siblings take a bow. We then cut back to the present time…

Luna (Fishing up her story): "And that's how it happened."

Luan: "Man, I can't believe I forgot that even happened." (Forms a look of nostalgia): "Linc and I sure had a lot of fun that day. We were even considering doing more performances together. You know what…" (Taps her chin, while thinking): "…this idea could work." (Turns to leave): "I'm going to find Lincoln and see what he thinks."

Luna: "Good luck sis."

Luan (Gets an idea): "Wait…" (Turns to face her sister again): "We might need your help, Luna."

Luna (Confused): "My help? What for?"

Luan: "Don't worry, you'll see."

After an afternoon and evening of planning and rehearsing, we time skip to the next day, where we see the four Loud siblings, Lincoln, Luan, Luna, and Lisa arrive at Darcy Helmandollar's birthday party. They enter through the back gate and see that a lot is happening, party games, food, a stage where Lincoln and Luan will do their performance, and little kids running around.

Darcy (While wearing a party dress, runs up to them): "Lisa!"

Lisa: "A very happy birthday to you Darcy! Oh…" (Hands her friend a wrapped-up box): "I present to you your gift."

Darcy: "Gee thanks!" (Looks up at Lincoln): "Oh…" (Starts to blush a little): "…Hi Lincoln."

Lincoln: "Hey Darcy. Happy Birthday!"

Darcy: "Ummm…" (Blush grows a little deeper): "I'm so happy you came to my party."

Lincoln: "Not a problem. And I have to say, you look quite adorable in that party dress of yours."

Darcy (Giggles): "Tee-hee! You like it? My mommy got it for me. Come on Lisa…" (Walks towards a table): "Let's go put your gift with the others."

Lisa (Follows): "Lead the way birthday girl."

Mrs. Helmandollar (Walks up to the three siblings): "You must be Luan Loud, the head of Funny Business Inc."

Luan: "That's me. I would also like you to meet my partner Lincoln and our assistant Luna."

Lincoln: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Luna: "At your service."

Mrs. Helmandollar: "It's so nice to meet all three of you. Now, why don't you follow me, and I will show you where you'll be performing."

They all make their way toward the stage…

Mrs. Helmandollar (Curious): "So…what kind of act are you planning on doing? After hearing so many recommendations from my friends, I just hope you could make my little pumpkin's birthday a very special one indeed."

Luna: "Oh, don't worry." (Points to her siblings): "These two have an act so spectacular that it will knock all those little tyke socks off."

Lincoln (Gets a little nervous): "Heh-heh. She doesn't

mean that literally."

Mrs. Helmandollar: "Ha-ha! Don't worry dear, I know she just kidding." (Stops at the stage): "Well, here's the stage, my husband built it yesterday. I just it's steady enough."

Luan (Walks up to it and knocks on the wood): "It seems steady enough to me."

Mrs. Helmandollar: "Oh, I am so glad."

Lincoln: "Just give us some time to get ready and the show will begin."

Mrs. Helmandollar: "Excellent!" (Walks off): Just give me a thumbs up when you're ready."

Luna: "Will do."

Luan: "Come on guys, the show won't set up itself."

But as Luan and Luna got onto the stage…

Lincoln (Feeling his arm being tugged): "Huh?" (Looks down): "Darcy?"

Darcy: "Come on Lincoln…" (Starts to run off, while dragging the boy in tow): "It's time for party games!"

Lincoln: "Whoa!"

Luan (Very confused): "Where's she taking him?"

Lisa (Walks up): "As you may recall, Darcy has invited our male sibling unit to her party as a guest. It's a logical sense that she wants him to partake in the festivities as well."

Luan: "But we need him for the act."

Lisa: "Then you should take this matter to the birthday girl. Now, if you excuse me…" (Walks off): "There are some party games that I must play."

Luna: "Don't worry dude, I'll take care of this."

The little kids, plus Lincoln, are playing pin the tail on the donkey…

Luna (Walks over to Darcy, who is standing next to Lincoln): "Umm…Darcy?"

Darcy (Turns to her): "Yeah?"

Luna: "It's okay if I borrow my little bro just for a little…"

Darcy (Grabs onto the boy's arm): "No!"

Lincoln and Luna (Both shocked by the girl's sudden change of behavior): "Huh?!"

Darcy: "Lincoln is my guest of honor and I don't want him to leave. So, he's going to stay by my side for my entire party." (Squeezes the boy's arm): "Right Lincoln?"

Lincoln (Not sure what to either say or do): "Ummm…"

Luna: "But dude, Linc not's going to leave your party, he's just…"

But Darcy isn't listening, she is far too busy nuzzling her face into Lincoln's arm with a huge smile and very pink cheeks. Lincoln fails to notice this however as he's been trying to break free from the young girl for the past thirty seconds. But with Luna…

Luna: "Uh oh…"

Back on the stage…

Luan: "She likes him?!"

Luna: "Definitely…"

Luan (With a big smile): "Aww! That's so sweet." (Goes back to frowning): "But what that's got to do with performing our act?"

Luna: "Darcy won't let Linc leave her side! She basically glued herself onto him and won't let go until the party's over."

Luan (Starts to panic): "Then what should we do then? We have to perform soon."

Luna (Scratches her chin): "Perhaps Lisa can talk to her; they are friends after all."

Luan: "I don't think so." (Points): "Look…"

Luna (Turns where her sister is pointing): "What?"

Lisa (By the food table, while being on a very high sugar rush): "Chocolate…covered…" (Starts to run around like crazy): "…everything!"

Luna: "Oh…that's not good."

Luan: "I might have an idea…" (Pulls out something from her box of props): "I just hope this works."

At the food table…

Darcy (While having an arm around Lincoln's, hands him a cup): "Have some punch, Lincoln."

Lincoln (Looking around, as he takes the cup): "Ummm…Sure, thanks."

Just then, a strange-looking bush slowly creeps up behind the duo. A hand then pops out and taps Darcy on the shoulder and goes back in.

Darcy (Turns her head around): "Huh?" (Sees that on one's there): "Oh..."

Once Darcy's head was turned back around…

Bush (Whispers): "Pssst…Darcy?"

Darcy (Turns her head around again): "Huh? Who's there?"

Lincoln (Looking down at her): "Is everything okay?"

Darcy (Turns to him): "Yeah, I think so." (Unwraps her arm from the boy's): "Be right back, I think my mommy's calling me."

Once Darcy was out of sight…

Bush (Whispers): "Hey Lincoln."

Lincoln (Turns around): "Luan?"

Luan (Pops her face out of the bush): "Now's your chance. Get to the stage before Darcy comes back."

Lincoln: "Oh…" (Gives his sister a thumb up): "Got it."

As fast as he could, Lincoln starts to power walk towards the stage. Unfortunately…

Lincoln (Stops in his tracks, as he feels his arm being tugged again): "Oof!"

Darcy (Has her arm around Lincoln's once more): "Where are you going?"

Lincoln (Looks down at her nervously): "Ummm…Heh-heh. Nowhere…I just…" (Turns his head and spots something on the ground): "Oh!" (Bends down and picks the item up): "I saw this noise maker on the floor…ugh…and thought you might like it."

Darcy: "Oooo…" (Takes the noise maker): "I do like it." (Blows into it): "Bzzzztt! Tee-hee"

Lincoln: "Whew!"

Darcy: "Come on!" (Walks, while dragging the boy along): "It's time to bust open the piñata!"

Luan (Disappointed that her plan flailed): "Dang it."

We pretty soon see a piñata dangling in the air by a rope tied around a branch of a tree, and Darcy with a blindfold over her eyes, while holding a bat, and being spun around by one of the other kids.

Kid: "One…Two…Three!" (Stops spinning): "Go!"

Darcy: "Oh!" (Stumbles around while swinging the bat): "Eh! Where could it be?"

Luna (Whispers): "Pst! Lincoln?"

Lincoln (Turns around): "Huh?"

Luna (By the stage): "Come on bro! Now's your chance."

After giving another thumbs up, Lincoln made his way to the stage, and this time…

Lincoln (Whispers, while giving his sisters each a high-five): "Made it!"

Luan: "Great! Now, come on. We still have to…"

Lincoln (Gets hit on the head with the bat): "Oww!" (Falls onto the ground): "Oof!"

Luna and Luan: "Gasp!"

Darcy: "Did I hit it?" (Takes off her blindfold and…): "Gasp!"

Lincoln (On the ground with a bump on his head): "Ooooo…"

Darcy (Drops the bat and blindfold): "Oh no!" (Gets down on her knees next to the boy): "Lincoln, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were standing there." (Touches the bump): "Does it hurt?"

Lincoln: "Ouch!"

Darcy (Gets up): "Come on." (Grabs the boy's hand and starts to drag his body towards the house): "Let's get inside and find some ice for that boo-boo of yours."

Luan (Very irritated): "I can't believe this!"

A few minutes later we see Darcy and Lincoln walk out of the house with Lincoln holding an ice pack over his bumped head.

Darcy: "I am so sorry Lincoln."

Lincoln: "Hey, don't sweat it. I know you didn't mean to hit me with the bat, it was an accident."

Darcy: "But I feel terrible about it."

Lincoln (Gets an idea): "I know just the thing to cheer you up…a magic trick done by… Lincoln the Magnificent!"

Darcy: "You can do magic?"

Lincoln: "Yup! You want to see my greatest trick?"

Darcy (Develops a smile on her face): "Sure!"

Lincoln takes out the sheet that he has used the day before and puts it over his head and… Poof! Just like the first time, the sheets float down to the ground.

Darcy: "Ooo…"

Mrs. Helmandollar: "Come on everyone, it's show time!"

Darcy (Looks around): "Lincoln?"

Lisa (Runs up): "Come along Darcy." (Grabs her friend by the hand): "The entertainment is about to commence."

Darcy: "But what about Lincoln?"

Once the kids were all seated…

Mrs. Helmandollar (Up on the stage): "Now boys and girls, let's give a big warm welcome to Luan… the Comedian Clown Loud! And Lincoln Loud… the Magnificent!"

Kids: "Yay!"

Darcy (Surprised to hear this): "Lincoln?"

Mrs. Helmandollar gets off the stage and the curtain is raised, revealing Lincoln dressed up in his magician outfit.

Lincoln (Gives a wave): "Hey everyone, I'm Lincoln the…Wait!" (Looks around): "Where's Luan?"

Suddenly, Lincoln's hat starts to bounce up and down on his head catching both the boy's and the audience's attention.

Lincoln: "Huh?" (Takes off his hat and looks inside): "Oh! Ha-ha! There you are."

Just like magic, Luan pops out of the hat, (While dressed in her clown attire), and onto the stage. All while squeezing her big red clown nose.

Clown nose: "Honk! Honk!"

Luan: "Ta-da!"

Kids (All excited) "Yay!"

And so, a show of magic and comedy has begun…

Luan: "Hey Linc…" (Starts to throw some bouncy balls into the air): "How many balls am I juggling?"

Lincoln: "Well, let's see." (Look towards the audience): "Count with me, everyone."

Lincoln and the kids: "One…Two…Three…Four…Five! Five balls!"

Luan: "That's right!"

Lincoln: "Not only do you have five balls Luan…" (Takes out his magic wand): "You also have…" (Waves the wand): "Shazam!"

With a puff of smoke, the balls somehow magically transform into…

Lincoln: "Playing cards! Ta-da!"

Audience: "Wow!"

Luan (Catches each card in her hands): "Wow indeed. Look, everyone..." (Turns the cards around to reveal...): "A ball of fives...a ball of fours...a ball of threes...a ball of twos...Oh! And a base! Ha-ha! Get it?"

Audience: "Hahahahaaha!"

A few tricks and gags later...

Luan: "And now, our most spectacular trick yet!"

Lincoln: "A trick so spectacular that not even your parents are going believe you if you try to tell them what is going to happen on this very stage."

Audience: "Oooo..."

Luan: "Ready Linc?"

Lincoln: "As I'll ever be."

Audience: "Wow!"

Luan (Catches each card in her hands): "Wow indeed. Look, everyone..." (Turns the cards around to reveal...): "A ball of fives...a ball of fours...a ball of threes...a ball of twos...Oh! And a base! Ha-ha! Get it?"

Audience: "Hahahahaaha!"

A few tricks and gags later...

Luan: "And now, our most spectacular trick yet!"

Lincoln: "A trick so spectacular that not even your parents are going believe you if you try to tell them what is going to happen here on this very stage."

Audience: "Oooo..."

Luan: "Ready Linc?"

Lincoln: "As I'll ever be."

Taking each other hands, the two siblings start to spin around. They spin around so fast in fact that they start to create a cartoonist tornado surrounding them and…

Lincoln and Luan: "Shazam!"

After a puff of smoke, it is revealed that the duo has separated…and now wearing each other's clothes?!

Audience (All burst into a fit of laughter): "Hahhaha…"

Luan: "Oops! That wasn't supposed to happen."

Lincoln: "Let's give it one more try."

Back into the cartoonist tornado the two siblings…

Lincoln and Luan: "Shazam!"

After a bigger puff of smoke this time it revealed that…there was someone new on the stage! And Luan and Lincoln are nowhere in sight.

Audience (All very shocked): "Gasp!"

Now what's shocking about this new person is how she looks…Well…let's start with her hair. Half of it is white like Lincoln's hair and the other half is light brown like Luan's. Next is her clothes, it seems that somebody took half of Luan's clown attire and half of Lincoln's magician outfit and sewed them together.

New person (Waves her hands in the air): "Ta-da!"

Audience (Giving a round of applause): "Hooray!"

After the person gives a bow, the curtain of the stage is lowered. Once the curtains were completely down the person took off her hair and clothes to reveal…it was Luna the whole time.

Luna: "The cost is clear guys."

A trap door on the stage floor then opens up and Lincoln and Luan climb out of it.

Lincoln: "That was awesome!"

Luan: "The kids we're crazy about us."

Luna: "You should have seen the look on their faces dudes. They were like…" (Mimics the look of the children): "Gasp!"

Lincoln, Luan, and Luna: "Hahaha!"

Darcy: "There you are Lincoln." (Walks over to the trio, while carrying three pieces of cake): "You missed me blowing out my birthday candles. But I brought you and your siblings some cake." (Hands each piece to each sibling): "And don't worry." (Whispers, while starting to blush a little): "I gave you the biggest piece."

Lincoln: "Aww, thanks, Darcy."

Darcy: "Ummm…I also wanted to thank you three for putting on this magic show for my birthday party."

Luan: "Well, it was not just a magic show Darcy."

Luna: "You can say it's more like a comedian showing and magic spectacular all in one."

Lincoln: "We even consider adding this new act of ours to Luan's business."

Luan: "I figure Magic-Laugh would be a good name for it. Don't you think?"

Darcy: "Tee-hee! It sounds funny."

Luan, Luna, and Lincoln: "That's the point."

Luan (Takes off her clown nose and hands it to the child): "Here Darcy. A little something to remember this special day by."

Darcy (Puts it over her nose): "Gee, thanks."

Luna (Gets an idea): "And Linc here has a gift for you too."

Lincoln: "I do?"

Luna (Takes her brother's hat off his head and plops it on Darcy's): "Here you go, dude."

Darcy (Eyes start to sparkle, while the blush on her cheek grew): "Your magic hat? Are you sure?"

Lincoln (Not sure what to say): "Ummm… You what?" (Gives her genuine smile): "Yeah Darcy, it's all yours. I have another one at home anyway."

Darcy (Gives Lincoln a big hug around his legs): "This is the best birthday ever!"

Lisa (Calling from a distance): "Darcy, where are you? Where about to commence playing red-light, green-light."

Darcy (Let's go and runs off the stage): "Coming"

Luna (With a sly smile): "That little tyke sure has some strong emotion toward you bro."

Lincoln: "Wait…" (Gives his sister a confused look): "What?"

Luna: "Oh…" (Playfully rolls her eyes): "Nothing."

Luan (Raises her piece of cake): "A toast...To Magic-Laugh!"

Lincoln and Luna (Raise their pieces as well): "To Magic-Laugh!"

And with that, the three siblings each took a bite of their cake.

Lincoln, Luna, and Luan: "Mmm…"

The end
