Chapter 37: Racoon Party
Happy New Year! And here's a chapter to start off the new year. This is the Loud House version of the Spongebob episode: Jellyfish Jam
Somewhere in the forest, we see some animals. Two squirrels, a few bunnies, and a deer having lunch together. In a mud puddle, someone rises up out of the mud. The other animals see this. They fear that this creature is some kind of monster so they run away in fear. The creature shakes the mud off and it is revealed to be the mud loving tomboy Lana.
"Man, that was a nice mud bath."
Another creature comes out of the mud. It shakes the mud off and it reveals itself to be a raccoon.
"Did you enjoy the mud, little guy?" Lana asked.
The raccoon nodded.
"Well, I had a nice time with you. See ya later."
Lana leaves but is unaware that she doesn't have her hat on. The raccoon brings it to her.
"Oh. my hat. Thanks little guy. Bye." Lana puts it on and continues walking off. The raccoon continues to follow her. Lana notices. "Mr. Raccoon, I can't play anymore. I have to go home. You have to stay here."
Lana walks off but the raccoon keeps following her.
"Raccoon, you've got to stay here." The raccoon clings onto her leg. "No. Stay here."
Lana puts the raccoon on a log. "Now stay."
Lana walks off and the raccoon once again follows her. He runs around her. Lana looks annoyed but she grabs the raccoon and flings it away with a slingshot. Lana walks off again but the raccoon is seen on her back. It laughs but Lana hears it. She takes him off.
"Raccoon, for the last time, you can't come home with me!" Lana said frustrated.
The raccoon gives her sad eyes. Lana couldn't resist.
"Oh, what the heck."
Lana decided to bring the little raccoon home with her and put it on a leash. They walked by their neighborhood and stopped by Mr. Grouse's house.
"Hey Mr. Grouse!" Lana called. "Mr. Grouse!"
Mr. Grouse came outside.
"Hey Mr. Grouse!" Lana said. "Check out my new pet!"
"That's not a pet." The elderly man replied. "That's a wild animal."
"No he isn't. Watch this! Fetch!" Lana threw a stick and the raccoon went to fetch it and bring it back to Lana.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Lana held up three fingers. The raccoon counted held up three fingers.
"Now play dead." The raccoon was buried under a grave.
"I wouldn't keep that thing even if it was potty trained." Mr. Grouse commented.
The raccoon is seen using a toilet while reading a newspaper.
"I didn't need to see that."
"Well, we're going to my house to have a little fun." Lana said before heading back to her house with the raccoon.
"How can you possibly have fun with a raccoon?" Mr. Grouse wondered.
At the Loud House, Lana and her raccoon friend were jamming out to loud techno rave music which was heard from two big speakers. The music playing is similar to the song "Are you ready for this" by Jock Jaws. They showed off some impressive dance moves. You could see the background changing colors and styles. The loud music is heard outside, and the house is vibrating. Soon, it's nighttime and the music is still playing. In Grouse's House, we see his house shaking. Grouse is irritated as he cannot sleep because of the music playing.
"Lana is the only person I know who can have fun with a raccoon...FOR TWELVE HOURS!"
Back at the Loud House, the two friends continue dancing. Rita in her robe comes over.
"Lana? Lana?" Her mom tries to get her attention but Lana can't hear her. "LANA!"
Lana sees her mom. "Oh, hi Mom."
"Lana sweetie, it's time for bed."
"Ok." Lana said. She stopped dancing and looked at the raccoon who was still dancing. "Boy, you sure like to dance. Well that's enough for tonight."
She turned off the stereo. "It's time to go to bed."
She began to head upstairs but the raccoon turned the music back on.
"Huh?" Lana turned off the music. "You've got it all wrong, little fella."
The raccoon turned the music back on again. Lana turned it off again. "We're going to bed now. Understand? Bed."
Lana put the leash on the raccoon and dragged it upstairs to her and Lola's room. Lana had put on her PJs. Lola was in bed reading a book and saw her twin.
"Finally, your little party is over." She removed her earplugs. "Why is that thing still here?"
"He's staying here." Lana mentioned.
"What? That's a wild animal! He doesn't belong here."
Lana lets the raccoon on her bed. "Quit worrying Lola. He'll be just fine."
"Whatever you say."
"Goodnight guys." Lana said before going to bed.
Later that night, another raccoon comes to the house. Lana's raccoon suddenly wakes up and senses the call of the other raccoon. He goes to the living room and opens the front door. He is happy to see his raccoon friend as they communicate using their raccoon language. The other raccoon shows a line of other raccoons in front of the Loud House. Lana's raccoon invites them all inside.
It's morning. Lana wakes up and yawns. "Good morning raccoon."
She doesn't see him. "Raccoon? Raccoon?"
She looks under her bed but he's not there. "Little buddy? Lola, have you seen my raccoon friend?"
Lola mumbles in her sleep. "Twenty more minutes Mom."
Lana decided to check downstairs. "Hey raccoon."
She then sees other raccoons dancing to the loud techno music. "Where'd you all come from?"
The raccoons form a line and pick up Lana. She rides down the line of raccoons.
"Ok, that's it! Party's over!" Lana said. "You guys have overstayed your welcome! This music is way too loud."
She tried to turn off the stereo but the raccoons prevented her from doing so. They formed a line of steps where Lana went up and down. "Guys, put me down! I'm serious!"
Her words fell on deaf ears. The other Loud members heard the loud music. They went downstairs and were surprised to see a bunch of raccoons in their house.
"Lana! Why are all these raccoons here?" Lynn Sr. Asked.
"I didn't invite them in." Lana protested.
Outside, the music was booming as the house was shaking. Inside Mr. Grouse's house, his house was shaking. Mr. Grouse was annoyed to no end. He fell out of bed.
"Eighteen hours?! That's it! I'm gonna give that Loud family a piece of my mind!"
At the Louds, some of the siblings were riding on the crowd of raccoons. The phone rang and a raccoon answered it.
"Listen up Loud!" Mr. Grouse yelled. "I'm had it up to here with your-"
The raccoon hissed at the into the phone and hung up. Mr. Grouse was left confused but then he opened his front window. "Two can play at this!" He gets out his bagpipes. "I never thought I would actually have to use this."
He starts playing his bagpipes. Back at the Louds, Lana was trying to get the raccoons to end their party. "Come on guys, enough is enough!"
Then they heard the terrible bagpipes music. They raccoons were not amused by this and started to go wild on the Louds.
"Ow! Hey!" Lincoln yelled when a raccoon bit him. "Lana, control your friends!"
"What do you think I'm trying to do? Ow!" A raccoon bite Lana on the ear. "Ok! Ok! I'll talk to him!"
Lana went outside and called Grouse. "Hey Mr. Grouse, would it be possible to play your bagpipes a little..better? I don't think the raccoons like it!"
"The raccoons don't like it eh?" Mr. Grouse smiled mischievously. "Why sure neighbor, I can play better!"
"Ok!" Lana went back inside and confronted the raccoons. "He said he'll play better."
Mr. Grouse got out his large speakers and connected his bagpipes to them. He played his bagpipes terribly again but this time it was louder.
"Uh oh! That's not better!"
The raccoons went wild again and began to trash the house.
"Take cover!" Lynn Sr. yelled. The rest of the family ran into the kitchen. The raccoons ran over to Mr. Grouse's house. They went through his open window.
"Uh, I can turn it down." Mr. Grouse said nervously.
The raccoons attacked him. Back at the Louds, there was a knock. Lana answered the door and the raccoons went back inside. The old man walked over to the house and he had scratches and bruises.
"Everybody's a critic. You won't be hearing from me anymore." He gave Lana his bagpipes and left.
"Hey, that wasn't nice." Lana scolded the raccoons. One of them took the bagpipes from her. Another one ripped off a pipe and used it for a bonfire in which the raccoons danced around. Lana was now furious.
"That's it! Everybody OUT!"
Lana grabbed the stereo and ran outside with it. The raccoons ran after her and grabbed the stereo, pulling Lana inside. With all the raccoon's strength combined, Lana couldn't hold on much more.
"Guys, help me!" Lana called her family. They peeked from the kitchen and saw this. They look determined.
"We're coming, Lana!" Lincoln said.
The rest of the Louds held onto each person as a tug of war happened between them and the raccoons. Finally, they both lost their grips on the stereo, causing it to fall to the ground and break into pieces. Lana gulped, realizing they messed up. The raccoons weren't happy about this at all and furiously growled at the family with foam coming out of their mouths. The Louds ran for their lives as the raccoons began attacking them.
"Come on guys!" Lynn Sr. led the family to a secret opening that lead up to the roof. When every family member made it on the roof he closed the door. Below them the raccoons came out through the doors and windows. They all stood in front of the house glaring and growling at the family.
"Lola, you and Mr. Grouse were right." Lana said scared. "Raccoons are wild animals. Thanks for not rubbing it in."
"Well, I was gonna rub it in." Lola admitted.
The family look terrified. Hops suddenly came out of Lana's pocket. He saw all the angry raccoons and got an idea. He started making frog sounds. He made a beat. The raccoons heard this and began dancing.
"Huh? They stopped." Lana covered Hops mouth. The raccoons became angry again. Lana let go and Hops performed again. The raccoons danced again. Lana stopped Hops. Angry raccoons. Lana let go. Happy raccoons.
"Hops, don't stop ribbiting." Lana ordered. "Guys, I have an idea but I'm gonna need all of your help."
"You got it, Lans." Luna said.
The family headed outside. Hops was on Lana's head. Lana led them as the raccoons followed them. They were attracted to Hops music. As they walked downtown, Lana signaled her family members to join in to make more music. Luan blew bubbles from her gag flower. Lily shook her rattle. Lynn made armpit sounds. Luna played the keyboard. Leni and Lori sang. Some raccoons tied their tails together to make string music. Etc. Everyone was making music. Lana and her family led the raccoons back into the forest. The raccoons now learned to make their own music.
"Our job here is done guys." Lana said. "Let's go home."
The Louds were walking home.
"I'm so glad that's over." Rita said.
"Yeah." Lana agreed. "And I learned a lesson."
"Is it to never keep a raccoon as a pet?" Lola asked.
"Well, that too. But the other lesson I learned is that wild animals can throw pretty wild parties."
Just then, Mr. Grouse walked by with pink bandages on his face. Everyone stared at him.
"I hate raccoons." He said bitterly.
