User blog:Luna and Sam 1515/The Loud House Movie Part 1 (my version)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

A NICKELODEON PRODUCTION

[The movie begins with a shot above the clouds; the camera phases through them to reveal the town of Royal Woods, Michigan, 22 Years Ago, to which the camera pans over. A younger Lynn Sr. is dancing out of a movie theater as a song starts to play. As he goes, he finger-guns at a younger Kotaro, who is painting; he thumbs Lynn Sr. up. Lynn Sr. continues to dance in front of Flip's Fruit and Freeze cart; Flip gives him a snow cone.]

♫ Woke up just like any morning

New day, same sunlight pouring down ♫

[After eating said snow cone, Lynn Sr. dances past a younger Mr. Grouse, who is reading a newspaper. Mr. Grouse takes his eyes off the paper, and his eyes widen.]

♫ Danced on to the beat I'm drumming

High hopes pulled my feet off the ground ♫

[Lynn Sr. continues to dance. Meanwhile, a younger Rita, as a crossing guard, is busy allowing children and one teacher to cross. She looks over and covers her face with the "stop" sign, but takes a quick peek at the dancing Lynn Sr., who is now dancing in front of the school's entrance. It is love at first sight for Rita.]

♫ Heart stopped, didn't see you coming

Felt like you took my breath away ♫

[As Lynn Sr. shimmies over to her, Rita turns around and pulls out her compact and lipstick, putting the latter on and swishing her ponytail.]

♫ I knew this was the start of something

And I think I knew you felt the same ♫

[Lynn Sr. pulls Rita into a twirl. The moment he sees Rita, he too is imbued with love at first sight. The two lock each other in the eyes.]

♫ Time frozen, eyes open

Spun my world around in motion

Just a step away

Just a slip of fate ♫

[The school bell rings, and a lot of children pass, taking Rita with them. Rita collects herself and takes one last look at Lynn Sr., who is touched; he realizes she slipped a love letter into his pocket. The scene changes to their first date at Banger's & Mosh, laughing. The camera spins to Lynn Sr. proposing to Rita in a meadow, and spins again to them getting married before fading to them in front of the recently-sold Loud House.]

♫ Oh, you'd never know how one simple interaction

Could lead you down a road where anything can always happen

The picture in our mind changes all the time

Bigger than what we'd imagined

We wouldn't change a thing about it now

Life is better loud ♫

[Cut to inside the Loud House. Lynn Sr. notices Rita is pregnant and is embracing the bump. Camera flashes show baby Lori being embraced by the parents, baby Leni's sunglasses falling over her eyes after toddling to Rita and hugging her, baby Luna playing with Lynn Sr.'s cowbell, baby Luan playing with sock puppets, baby Lynn playing soccer with her sisters and parents before kicking the ball out the window, and the parents introducing baby Lincoln to his sisters. The sisters all awe at Lincoln and look at each other excitedly. The next few shots show Leni and Lori giving Lincoln a makeover, Luna showing him a rock pose before he taps her nose, Luan using him as a ventriloquist dummy as the others giggle, Lynn beating him at a game of four-in-a-row, and the sisters hugging him as he's about to cry, resulting in him giggling.]

♫ Ain't no stopping now

Life is better loud ♫

[The photo zooms out to reveal a photo album. The next few photos show baby Lucy with her bangs grown out, the parents bringing baby Lola and Lana into the house, baby Lisa helping Lori with her homework, and Lily giggling.]

♫ Oh, it feels like home no matter where we are together

Wish we'd always known the bigger crowd was always better

We wouldn't change a thing about it now

Life is better loud (In the Loud House! In the Loud House!) ♫

[The final photo shows Lynn Sr. and Rita in front of the Loud House, followed by their ten kids. The camera zooms in on Lily toddling by before cutting to her walking past the logo of the original show.]

♫ Life is better loud (In the Loud House! In the Loud House!) ♫

[Lily looks back at the logo, takes off her diaper, hits the logo, and transforms it into a castle.]

Loud House!

[The word "Movie" in a banner shows up a second later.]

Lily: "Movie!"

[Present day. It is an early morning at the Loud House. In the house, Lincoln opens the door to let me in.]

Lincoln: Cris! So glad you could make it.

Me: [yawns] Yeah. So why did you want me to come this early?

Lincoln: Today, I'm gonna be teaching Lily a little something, and I wanted you to tag along.

Me: Oh, sounds good. [yawns]

[Cut to Lincoln's room, where Lincoln, Lily, and I are sitting on Lincoln's bed. Lily laughs.]

Lincoln: [giggles] "Okay, Lily, I didn't wake you up at six in the morning just to play." [Lily laughs again.] "It's time for another lesson on how to survive in a big family."

Lily: [determined] "Poo-poo."

Lincoln: "Lesson #374." [turns on a projector; the first slide shows Lynn Sr. with a platter of burritos] "Breakfast Burrito Saturday."

Me: [eyes widen] Ooh!

Lily: [gasps] "Bawitotos!"

Lincoln: "Now that you have teeth..." [The next slide shows an image of Lily; an arrow pointing at her one tooth.] "You'll want one of Dad's famous breakfast burritos all to yourself."

[The next slide shows Lily at the dining room table with a burrito in front of her.]

Lily: [reacting to the slide] "Wiwy!"

Lincoln: "Just like your sisters."

[The next slide after that shows all nine other sisters reaching out to take Lily's burrito. Lily giggles, jumps off Lincoln's bed, and toddles her way to the slide with beady eyes.]

Lily: "Sisters!"

Lincoln: "Which means it's you against them at the table."

[The next slide shows a fight cloud from all ten sisters.]

Me: Yikes!

Lily: [gasps] "Uh-oh."

Lincoln: "Don't worry, Lil, because your big brother is the Man with the Plan. Patent pending."

[The next two slides read LINCOLN LOUD: MAN WITH THE PLAN, with a "Patent Pending” sticker at the bottom left corner on one of the slides. Lily giggles again as she makes her way back to her brother.]

Lincoln: "And today's plan..." [turns off the projector and the room's lights are now turned on] "...is to get to those burritos before our sisters wake up." [sniffs the air] "I can smell 'em now. Okay, Lily, it's go time!"

[Lincoln tears away his pajamas to reveal his usual every day clothing. Lily follows suit by tearing off her diaper and throws it at the door, until a splat is heard. The two siblings and I look over, realizing that could only mean one thing...]

Me: Lily, you didn't...

Lily: "Poo-poo."

[I groan as Lincoln looks back at Lily.]

[In the bathroom, Lincoln is changing Lily's diaper.]

Lincoln: "So all you need to do is just watch and learn." [sets Lily down on the floor] "Because around here, no one outsmarts Lincoln..." [He opens the bathroom door, only to meet something... or a couple someone's... unexpected.] "... Loud."

[The rest of Lincoln's sisters just happen to be standing in the hallway.]

Me: Except them.

Lori: [smirks] "Nice try, Lincoln, but you're not the only one who remembered it's Breakfast Burrito Saturday."

Sisters: "Yay! Burritos!"

[The sisters rush downstairs in burrito-induced excitement, though the Man with the Plan isn't letting a wrench in his plan ruin it. He takes the carpet and waves it, creating a fabric wave that sends the sisters wayward and into the open front door, which Lily closes.]

Lori: "Lincoln!"

[Lincoln, who had just taken the banister downstairs, high-fives his baby sister, who laughs triumphantly.]

Me: Nice thinking, Lincoln!

Lincoln: "Thanks, Cris! The key to having a plan is to always have a backup plan."

Lily: "Backup plan."

[At the dining room, Lynn Sr. enters from the kitchen, dancing with a plate of burritos]

Lynn Sr.: "♫ Hot, burritos, hot, hot burritos, hey! Do a little dance and move your feet-os! ♫" [notices Lincoln, Lily, and me at the table] "Hey! Morning, Lincoln. Morning, Cris." [rubs Lily's nose] "Hello, Lily."

Lily: "Bawitotos!"

Lynn Sr.: "That's right, sweetie. Bawitotos." [kisses her cheek and Lily giggles; to Lincoln] "Hey, where's the rest of your sisters? I thought I heard them coming down."

Lincoln: "Did you?" [slyly] "Huh..."

Me: [winks at Lincoln] Let's eat!

[Lincoln prepares to take a bite, but the front door opens, and the other sisters storm in and glare at the two.]

Me: That's not good.

Lincoln: [about to become toast] "Uh-oh."

[The girls all jump on us and fight for the burritos, causing a fight cloud to ensue. Lincoln, Lily, and I are revealed to have hidden under the table, safe from the fight. I'm seen with with only a small piece of a burrito.]

Me: Well, this is all I can get, and it's not big enough for us to share.

Lincoln: [sighs] "Sorry, Lily. So much for watching and learning."

[Lily reveals she has a burrito in her diaper.]

Lily: "Backup plan!"

Lincoln: [impressed] "Oh-ho-ho! The student has become the master!"

[Master and apprentice split the burrito, toast with their halves, and dig in.]

Me: At least I have my piece. [I eat my piece]

[Meanwhile, the other sisters are still fighting for the rest of the burritos; Luan, Lynn, Lori, Luna and the twins are engaged in a tug-of-war, Leni uses her superior height to keep her burrito away from Lisa's little arms, and Lucy is unharmed, eating her burrito. Suddenly, a whistle is blown off-screen, ceasing the burrito brawl. Rita appears, holding the whistle.]

Rita: "Lola, we need to go if you want to make it to your recital on time."

Lisa: "Don't forget my science fair!"

Lucy: "I have the Junior Morticians' Death Match."

Lana: "I'm working pit crew at the race track!"

[The rest of the girls (sans Leni) all ramble, saying they have an activity to attend to as well...]

Lynn: "Soccer playoffs!"

Luan: "Joke-A-Palooza!"

Luna: "Don't forget my shred-off!"

Rita: [screams in shock] "You all have activities today?!"

Leni: "Not me." [Rita sighs in relief] "I just have my fashion show."

Rita: [shocked] "That's an activity, honey!"

[A frazzled Lynn Sr. enters, seeing the unprepared state of his wife.]

Lynn Sr.: "We're not prepared for this. This is a ding-dang disaster! What do we do?!" [runs around, freaking out] "Don't panic! Don't panic!" [screams] "DON'T PANIC!"

[Rita and the girls are freaking out as well, with Lynn Sr. gnawing on the doorway to the kitchen. Lincoln, Lily, and I pull up the tablecloth.]

Me: [to Lincoln] Any chance you know how to deal with your family if they have a panic attacks?

Lincoln: Of course I do. [to his family] "Relax, everybody." [We crawl out from the table as Lincoln picks up Lily, walking toward the living room, and I follow] "I got this."

[Everyone relaxes, and smiles, knowing he does got this.]

Lincoln: "Another lesson, Lily." [sets Lily on the stairs] "It's always more important to help your family than to outsmart 'em."

[After placing headphones on the infant, he pulls out a megaphone.]

Lincoln: "Alright Louds, let's go, go, go!" [puts away the megaphone and holds up Lori's golf clubs] "Lori, golf clubs."

Lori: [takes them and heads out the door] "Thanks, Linc!"

Lincoln: [holds up some measuring tape] "Leni, measuring tape."

Leni: [takes it and heads out] "Thanks, Lincoln!"

Lincoln: [holds up Luna's guitar, and a microphone] "Luna, guitar."

Luna: [takes them and heads out] "Thanks, bro!"

Lincoln: [holds up a soccer ball] "Lynn, soccer ball." [tosses it to Lynn]

Lynn: [has the ball bouncing on her head as she heads out] "Yeah-yuh!"

Lincoln: [holds up a rubber chicken] "Luan, rubber chicken."

[Luan takes the rubber chicken and laughs. Cut to outside the Loud House where the girls are heading to Vanzilla as Lincoln continues to hand his sisters their belongings.]

Lincoln: "Lucy, black veil."

Lucy: "Thanks." [heads to the van, putting on the veil]

Lincoln: "Lola, flaming baton."

Lola: "Thanks, Lincoln!" [heads to the van, twirling her baton]

Lincoln: "Lana..." [grunts] "Wrench set."

Lana: "Thanks, Linc!" [heads to the van, carrying her wrench set]

[Lincoln and Lisa walk out of the house next, with Lincoln holding a beaker of some colored liquid.]

Lincoln: "Lisa, ammonium di..."

Lisa: "Dichromate. Thank you, male sibling."

[Lisa takes the beaker and heads to the van; the parents as well.]

Me: [to the viewers] Wow, Lincoln is good at this.

Rita: "Alright, we got everything?" [rubs Lincoln's head as she passes him]

Lynn Sr.: "Yup, we're good to go!"

Lincoln: [notices something] "Mom, Dad, you forgot something!"

[The parents stop walking and turn around, just in time to have Lincoln walk toward them, holding out an annoyed Lily.]

Rita: [sheepishly] "Oh, sorry, sweetie."

Me: You really need to work on remember Lily.

[Lincoln gives Lily to his mother; the infant letting out a groan in response. Vanzilla drives off.]

[On the road.]

Lynn Sr.: "Okay, where to first?"

Lucy: [in unison] "Cemetery."

Lana: [in unison] "Race track!"

Lynn: [in unison] "Soccer field!"

Lincoln: [quiets them] "Dad, Lori's first." [points toward] "Take a right!"

[Lynn Sr. floors it. At the golf course, a putt shoots the golf ball toward the hole, done by Lori. She manages to sink it in, and the crowd of people politely applaud. The Loud family and I on the other hand, certainly have their own way of "applause". Lincoln takes a picture on his phone and Lori is given a trophy for coming in first place.]

Lori: "Can someone please hold this for a minute?"

Lincoln: [drives a golf cart up to her] "I got it!" [Lori gives him the trophy and then takes a selfie] "Leni's next!"

[Lynn Sr. inserts the keys in to start the van and drives out of the course.]

Lincoln: "Go left! I know a shortcut!"

[Vanzilla jerks left as the smoke transitions to Leni sliding a sewing needle into a lime green dress. The model presents it and gets applause from the audience. Leni beams and walks out, squealing excitedly. The family and I cheer for her as Lincoln takes another picture. Leni holds up her trophy and gives it to Lincoln as he runs across.]

Lincoln: "Gotta go!"

[Back in the van...]

Lynn Sr.: "Who's next?"

Lincoln: "It's Luna time!"

[Lynn Sr. spins the steering wheel around, having Vanzilla turn another direction. Cut to Luna, on stage, performing a wicked solo on her trusty guitar. The family and I, including Sam, all cheer for her.]

Lincoln: "Go, Luna!" [wolf-whistles]

[Luna continues to rock out, letting out one final note, literally blowing the audience away. The family and I cheer for her once again as Lincoln takes another picture. Luna holds up her trophy happily. Cut to outside.]

Luna: [gives him her trophy] "Thanks, bro!"

Lincoln: [on the megaphone] "Go, go, go!"

[The Louds and I head inside the van while Lincoln tosses the megaphone away into the trunk, followed by one of Luna's amps, and closes the trunk. Vanzilla pulls up at the Chortle Portal next.]

Luan: [doing her stand-up routine] "Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide!" [squeezes the rubber chicken and laughs]

[One of the judges spits out her water onto another judge, having him fall out of his seat all the while laughter can be heard. The judges all give Luan a ten. Luan holds up her trophy and the family and I cheers.]

Luan: [calling out] "Hey, Lincoln!"

[Lincoln runs up and Luan gives him the trophy.]

Lincoln: "I got it."

[Vanzilla drives up to the soccer field. Lynn kicks the soccer ball.]

Lynn: "She shoots..."

[The family and I gasps in suspense. Lynn manages to make the winning goal.]

Lynn: "She scores!" [She is given the MVP trophy and is held up in the air by her teammates as the family and I cheers] "Lincoln, catch!"

[Lynn tosses the trophy Lincoln's way. The trophy hits Lincoln in the face but he manages to catch it.]

Lincoln: "Oof! Got it!" [falls over] "Dang it."

[Vanzilla drives past the cemetery, where the Junior Morticians' Death Match is taking place at. Bertrand is given third, Haiku is given second, and Lucy is given the trophy for first as she stands up from the grave. Lucy holds it up while the two competitors applaud, as well as Lincoln.]

Lucy: "Lincoln."

[Lincoln walks over and grabs the trophy from her. Once he did, Lucy lets herself fall back into the grave, smiling. Lincoln takes notice of this, circles back, and drags her away.]

Lincoln: "You're next, Lola!"

[Vanzilla pulls up at the Royal Woods Hotel. Lola performs her flaming-baton twirling for the talent portion at the pageant, and is crowned the winner. As she waves to the crowd, she notices Lincoln taking the crown off her head.]

Lola: "Uh-uh!" [slaps Lincoln's hand and takes it back]

Lincoln: "Ow!"

Lola: "Hands off!"

[Lincoln rubs his hand for a second, and shakes it off.]

Lincoln: "Come on!" [heads inside the van] "We gotta get to Lana's race!"

[The family and I follows suit, and Vanzilla then pulls up at the race track, coincidentally being next to the hotel. Lana, and the rest of the pit crew, just finished repairing Bobbie Fletcher's car, and the race goes underway. Later on, all the cars pass the checkered flag, and Lincoln cheers. Lana and the crew seemingly pose for a photo as a woman, holding a wreath, walks up to them.]

Lana: [points to her brother] "Lincoln will hold it."

[The woman places the wreath around Lincoln's neck. Vanzilla's last stop is at the institute.]

Lincoln: "Lisa, you're up!"

[Her focus at its highest, Lisa drops a chemical into a beaker, causing a chemical reaction. Later, she solves an equation on a chalkboard, clapping the erasers. The scientists applaud, upon noticing mine and the family's erupts of cheer. Lisa holds up her ribbon, and gives it to Lincoln; both staring confidently.]

[It is now the middle of the evening. Vanzilla pulls up at Lynn Sr.'s restaurant: Lynn's Table.]

Sisters: [chanting and getting out of the van] "We are the Louds! Loud and proud! We are the Louds! Loud and proud! We are the Louds...!"

[The van door shuts while Lincoln, me, Lily, Rita, and Lynn Sr. stay behind. Exhausted, the parents let out a breather.]

Rita: [exhausted] "Oh! We did it. Thank you, Lincoln."

Lynn Sr.: "You sure know how to keep the old Loud fam' running smoothly, kiddo."

Me: Well, he is the man with the plan.

[Lincoln smiles at the compliment as gentle music plays in the background. Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, the sisters are all sat at a booth, still chanting. Lincoln, Lily, me, and the parents enter the scene, smiling. Scoots drives her scooter past them, having the four of us yelp and step back.]

Scoots: "Yeah, Loud and too loud."

[Lincoln takes a seat at the booth and chats with his sisters.]

Lynn Sr.: [to Rita] "Honey, let's get a pic of the kids for our Loud Wall of Fame."

Rita: "Oh, great idea!" [pulls out her phone] "Everyone, hold up your trophies!"

Me: Ooh, I want to take a pic! [I try to get my phone out of my pocket]

[The girls start to pull out their trophies.]

Leni: "Get my good side."

Lola: "I only have good sides."

Lynn: [holds her trophy up] "Yeah!"

Lucy: [holds hers up next] "Not sure I'll show up, but..."

Luan: "Get my funny side."

Lincoln: [dodges a few trophies practically thrown his way] "Whoa! Hey! Watch out!"

[Lincoln then gets hit by another trophy as he goes flying out of the booth and hits the floor with a thud.]

Me: Got my phone out.

Rita: "Okay, everyone, squeeze in."

[Lincoln gasps.]

Sisters: "Sisters!"

[Rita takes the photo, and the sisters all laugh. I take a photo too, but then I noticed something.]

Me: Huh? Where did Lincoln go?

Lincoln: "Hey. Guys, wait for me!"

Male Customer: [offscreen] "Look, it's the Loud sisters!"

Female Customer: "Nobody tosses a baton like that one!" [pulls on her hair gently as the man seated across from her pulls out his phone]

Old Man: [spits out some of his chicken] "She embalmed my Uncle Jack!"

Male Customer #2: [pulls out his phone] "I wish my family was as talented as they are!"

[He, followed by the other customers in the restaurant, get out of their seats and run toward the Loud girls' booth. Lincoln yelps as he tries to shield himself from being stamped on. He gets up and sees everyone crowding around the booth attempting to get a picture with his sisters.]

Me: [getting bumped by the customers] Whoa! Hey! Excuse... [gets bumped again and fall to the floor]

Man: "Selfie!"

Woman: "Can I get an autograph?"

[Lincoln looks on, hurt.]

Me: [gets up] E-Excuse me! I can't see! Where's Lincoln?

Scoots: [fed up with this] "Agh." [starts to leave] "Enough loudness. Scoots out."

[Lincoln stands up, but Scoots rams into him, having him hold onto the scooter.]

Scoots: [notices] "Hey! You gotta pay to ride this hog, sonny."

[This takes him out the door. Lincoln then sees the doors are starting to close.]

Lincoln: "Wait!"

[Too late. The doors shut in front of him. And, to add insult to injury, it is locked from inside. I finally get out of the crowd, only to see that Lincoln is not there.]

Me: Lincoln? Lincoln, where are you? [walks around] Lincoln?

Lincoln: [banging on the doors] "Hey! "Hey, guys?" [moves toward the window next to the door] "I want to be in the photo!"

[No response. All Lincoln can do is just look on as his sisters are given praise, on top of praise, through the window as poignant music fades into the background. Back inside...]

Male Customer #3: "Oh, you just must be so proud of your girls."

Lynn Sr.: [holding Lily; wiping a tear in pride] "You're ding-dang darn tootin'!"

Rita: "They are very special."

[The parents embrace Lily, who giggles, and Lincoln has been watching all that as his face slowly adapts to a sad, yet depressive expression. Scoots scoots back to him...]

Scoots: "No trophy, no photo!" [laughs as she scoots off] "Loserrrrrrr!"

[Lincoln looks down. The sisters are basking in it now.]

Lynn: "Guess what?! I'm gonna be in the newspaper!"

Lola: "That lady wants to interview us on TV!"

Lori: "Most 'likes' ever!"

Lola: "Me too!"

[An electric guitar starts to play an introduction in the background as Lincoln continues to watch through the window.]

Lynn Sr.: "How cool is that?!"

Sisters: [shouting] "YEAH!" [cheering]

Lynn Sr.: "Let's go home and put these trophies on display!"

Luan: "Yeah!"

Lincoln: [sighs in despondence] "I wish everyone thought I was special..." [starts singing]

♫ They say it doesn't matter

How you look or where you've been

So why do I need a thousand likes

To feel like I fit in? ♫

[Lincoln walks away from the window as I turned around and noticed him leaving. Lincoln walks out into the town of Royal Woods on a starry night.]

♫ I'd probably have it easy

If I were the only kid ♫

[Just then, a flyer blocks Lincoln's face. He takes it off him and stares at it. The flyer displays his sisters with "LOUD SISTERS!!!" as the header. He moves his thumb away to show he's in the photo too, but is being pushed away by Lola.]

♫ But when you live with ten superstars

It's hard for you to win

I wish I could be ♫

[Lincoln lies down onto the pavement outside Flip's Food and Fuel. Flip pushes his broom against the boy; Lincoln sits up and looks up at him. Flip angrily points to a sign saying "NO PITY PARTIES ON THE PROPERTY", and another sign ironically saying "AND NO SINGING".]

♫ Someone extraordinary

But I'm just me

And that's too ordinary ♫

[Lincoln gets up and starts to leave, yet Flip sweeps him away. He starts to dance across town.]

♫ Is there ever gonna be

A place in the spotlight just for me? ♫

[The display televisions in front of the store's window behind Lincoln are apparently broadcasting his sisters' talents.]

♫ When the world can finally see

I'm special like my family

Will there be a time

When I really shine? ♫

[During the chorus, Lincoln spins around onto a street lamp, then runs to another one. Its light casting on him goes out.]

♫ Am I always gonna be

Plain old ordinary me? (Ah-ah-ah) ♫

[Lincoln walks to another street lamp, and that one goes out too. Then two lights above shine onto a billboard, which displays his sisters.]

♫ Plain old ordinary me?

Am I always gonna be

Plain old, regular, boring

Unremarkable, ordinary me? ♫

[Lincoln sits by a building all by himself. Then he hears me calling to him.]

Me: [offscreen] Lincoln? You here, buddy?

Lincoln: Cris?

Me: [sees him] Lincoln! [runs up to him] What are you doing out here by yourself? I was worried.

Lincoln: [sighs] I don't wanna talk about it.

Me: Come on. I heard you singing something. You can tell me anything.

Lincoln: Okay. Well... I have a feeling that I'm not very special. My sisters are really good at something, and I'm just stuck in their shadows.

Me: I see. You feel left out. Is that right?

Lincoln: Yeah. [sighs sadly]

Me: Come on, buddy. I know who can cheer you up.

[The scene fades to Clyde's house, where I explained everything to Clyde.]

Me: And then I heard him singing, and he told me that he doesn't feel so special.

Lincoln: That's right. I'm not extraordinary. I'm just... ordinary.

[Lincoln puts his head down onto a counter. Clyde stares at him, looking concerned.]

Clyde: "Ordinary? You're talking crazy."

Lincoln: [adjusts his posture] "You're just saying that because you're my best friend. Name one thing that makes me special."

Clyde: "How about three? You've read every single Ace Savvy comic twice..." [Lincoln is suddenly in his Ace Savvy cosplay, and sports a heroic grin] "You're the fifth best junior magician in Royal Woods...." [Another Lincoln is in his magician attire; cards spew out from inside his hat] "And that history report you wrote? It was like I was at the signing of the Declaration of Independence!"

[That last statement proves just that, and Clyde smiles. Poof transition back to Clyde's kitchen.]

Clyde: "Oh! And you can sing. That's four!"

Lincoln: "Anyone can do those things." [groans] "Admit it, Clyde. I'm always going to be stuck in my sisters' shadows!" [buries his face into the counter]

Me: You got anything that can make him feel better?

Clyde: "I know exactly what'll cheer him up." [dives behind the counter; seconds later, he re-emerges with...] "My homemade cream puffs. Or as I like to call them…" [sets them down] "'dream puffs'."

Me: Good ahead, Lincoln. Try one.

[Lincoln takes one of the puffs, and eats it, savoring the taste. It is at this moment, his emotional dam finally breaks, crying hysterically and banging the counter. I gasp in shock.]

Clyde: "What?! What is it?! Too much cinnamon?! Not enough cinnamon?! Actually, the recipe doesn't call for cinnamon, but I can add it in --"

Lincoln: "No, no, no, Clyde, it's the best!" [eats another, then sobs a bit; his voice wavering] "It's just that you, my sisters..." [takes another puff] "Everyone is good at something. Except me..." [he hugs me as he continues to cry]

[The camera zooms into Clyde's worried face.]

Clyde's Thoughts: "Nice one, Clyde. You just made it worse!"

Me: Don't cry, Lincoln. I think you're special. Sometimes, I think of you as a brother to me.

Lincoln: [sniffles] Thanks, Cris. But I wish I can be talented. I mean... you know how Clyde does so well with baking.

Clyde: "Well, I'm not that good at baking."

[Hearing that, Lincoln stops hugging me, puts down his cream puff, gets off his stool, and walks off.]

Lincoln: "Then how do you explain this?"

[Lincoln waves a hand at all the different trophies, ribbons, and other various awards Clyde has received in baking, and there are a lot of them.]

Clyde: "I'm just lucky." [walks toward the awards] "Baking runs in my family."

Lincoln: "What do you mean?"

[Flashback to Clyde and his Nana Gayle heading up the steps of a plane, waving goodbye to Clyde‘s dads, Howard and Harold.]

Clyde: "Remember when I took that trip to France with Nana Gayle?"

[The plane flies overhead, then the camera pans down to a bakery. An elderly dark-skinned woman is standing in front of it, holding a basket of bread in one hand, and a recipe book in the other.]

Clyde: "That's where I met my great Nana May, who owns a bakery in Paris."

Nana May: "Bonjour."

Clyde: "She told me about my great-great Nana Collette, who ran a crepe shop in Calais."

[Cuts to his Nana Collette outside her bakery, holding two crepes, and her recipe book]

Nana Collette: "Bonjour."

Clyde: "And my great-great-great-great-great Nana Helene, who baked for the French royal family."

[Another cut to his Nana Helene, standing inside her bakery, holding a desert, and her recipe book.]

Nana Helene: "Enchanté."

[Another flashback takes its place. Gayle holds up the recipe books.]

Clyde: "When I got home, Nana Gayle showed me their recipe books, and I made cream puffs."

[Cuts to Clyde and Gayle making the cream puffs.]

Clyde: "She said baking was in my genes, just like Nana May, Nana Collette, and Nana Helene."

[The flashback ends.]

Me: I get it. You must be French American. Just like how I'm Puerto Rican. I even have a picture of my Puerto Rican family. [shows of picture]

[Lincoln gasps excitingly.]

Clyde: "Sorry, was my story that confusing? It was a lot of nanas."

Lincoln: "No. You just gave me an awesome idea!" [Lincoln and I heads off] "You're the best, best friend ever!" [shuts the front door and leaves]

[The slight impact of the door shutting seemed to have made one of the awards tilt, and Clyde adjusts it back to its correct angle. Just then, the door opens, Lincoln runs back in, then walks back out carrying the cream puffs, and then the door closes again. The award tilts, and Clyde adjusts it once more.]

[Meanwhile, it is night time at the Loud House…]

Rita: "Hey, kiddos, it's late. Time to get ready for bed." [Lori is texting, and Leni is painting her nails, in their room] "Last one has to take out the garbage!" [Luan is reading a joke book, and Luna jumps down from her bunk. Lynn and Lucy are in their room...] "For the rest of the month!"

[Hearing this sends the siblings into a rush-induced frenzy; Lynn and Lucy cat-fight each other, the twins are stuck at their doorway as they wrestle for firsties, Lily is chewing on her rattle as Lisa, who had heard the announcement, drops the chemical she's working on without looking, starting to cause an explosion. She notices and starts her own rush.]

Lisa: "Uh-oh!" [grabs Lily] "A suburb time to evacuate the premises!"

[She rushes out her door, with Lily in tow, as the others exit to the bathroom...]

Lori: "I get the mirror first!"

Luna: "Not happenin', dude!"

[Leni just exits.]

Luan: "You can't brush me off!" [laughs]

[Lynn and Lucy are still cat-fighting each other, and the twins have finally exited their room as Lisa and Lily run towards the bathroom.]

Lisa: "Quickly! Let's skedaddle!"

[All four are able to make it as the chemical explodes.]

[Later, everyone is in the bathroom brushing their teeth, except for Leni, who is brushing her hair, Luan, who is flossing her teeth, Lily, who is taking a bath in the sink, and Lynn Sr., who is trying to pluck out nose hairs.]

Lori: [angrily to Leni] "Um, I'm literally trying to brush my teeth here."

Rita: "We all are, honey."

Leni: "Shh, I'm trying to brush my hair and you keep making me lose count."

Lynn Sr.: "Yeah, well, I'm plucking nose hairs and I lost count too!"

[Everyone else starts arguing. Lincoln and I come upstairs and find the family in the bathroom.]

Me: Oh, for Pete's sake. Why does it have to be so cramped in there? I need to floss anyway.

[I try to squeeze in as I reach for the floss.]

Lori: Cris!

Luna: Seriously, dude!

Me: [grabs the floss] Sorry!

[I stand on my tippy toes, trying to floss my teeth. Lincoln pops up from behind.]

Lincoln: "Mom! Dad!"

Luan: [laughs] "Lincoln has to take out the trash for a month!"

Lincoln: [to Luan] "I don't care." [turns to his parents, grunting] "What part of the world are we from?"

Lynn: [seeing toothpaste on her sleeve] "Who spit toothpaste on my arm?"

Lincoln: "Clyde's family's from France!"

Me: Losing... balance! [falls to the floor] Oof!

Rita: "Well, my family is from right here in Royal Woods, honey."

Lynn Sr.: "I'm not sure where my family is from originally. Why?"

Lincoln: "Because if we knew, we could take a vacation, and meet our relatives."

[That gets the family's attention, and the girls ramble amongst themselves, mostly to their parents. I get up from the floor.]

Lana: "Vacation!"

Lola: "Five star hotel, please."

Lincoln: "All we need to do is find out where Dad's family is from."

[The girls join Lincoln in convincing their parents into finding out.]

Me: Looks like the sisters like your idea, Linc.

Rita: "Okay, let's just slow down, everyone."

Lynn Sr.: "Well, can't hurt to find out."

Lisa: "All I will need, Father, is a DNA sample."

Lynn Sr.: "No needles." [shivers] "I hate needles!"

Lisa: "Pshaw. Oh, Father." [shines a light onto her face, which changes to a wicked grin] "Needles are for amateurs."

[In Lisa and Lily's room, Lisa pushes a few buttons and flips a switch on for a centrifuge machine. Said machine is connected to a rotator at a capsule going practically at hyperspeed with Lynn Sr. inside as the family looks on. He screams as his head is squished back into the seat he is sitting in. Later, Lisa pushes buttons on a different device; this one repeatedly dunking Lynn Sr. into a tank of water.]

Lynn Sr.: "I shoulda... picked the... needles!"

Rita: [wincing at everything her husband is enduring] "Boy, I'm glad I know where I'm from."

[Lisa activates a third device. Lynn Sr. is strapped on a table as six fingers repeatedly tickle him, having him laugh uncontrollably.]

Lynn Sr.: [as he's laughing] "Please don't!"

[Lisa pulls a switch, shutting down the machine. A dazed Lynn Sr. collapses on the ground and drools, which Lisa collects.]

Lincoln: "You couldn't have just made him spit in a cup?"

Lisa: "There's a scientific word for that: Boring."

[In the living room, from Lynn Sr.'s point of view, he starts to regain consciousness with the girls and I all staring at him. Lincoln then comes into view.]

Lincoln: "Dad!"

[Scene switches to normal POV]

Lynn Sr.: [fully awake] "Dahhh, no more tickles!" [flails around a bit, prompting Lincoln to run off]

Rita: [walks up to her husband and consoles him] "Oh, there, there."

Lynn Sr.: [scared] "Is it over?!"

Lisa: "Indeed." [tosses a circular-looking device onto the floor] "My test has determined that we hail from a land of the Romans called..."

[The device pops out its legs, and the flaps open up to portray a grid-enhanced holographic image of...]

Lisa: "Caledonia."

[The siblings and I are confused.]

Lincoln: "Uh, just give us the street name, Lis."

Lisa: [walks through the hologram] "Street name:..." [presses a button on a remote, switching the name "Caledonia" to...] "Scotland."

[Now we are fascinated.]

Lincoln: "Whoa! Scotland?"

Luna: "We have family in Scotland?"

Lana: "Cool!"

Leni: "So exotic."

Lola: "So international."

Rita: "So expensive. Thirteen of us traveling all that way?"

[The hologram disappears.]

Lynn Sr.: "I know, but we always do find a way to make vacations work." [puts an arm around his wife] "And the kids always have so much fun."

[The kids plead to their parents to take them there.]

Lola: [drags Lynn Sr. down to her level; whispering] "Prove your love to us..."

[They look up at their mother, who thinks it over, and makes a decision.]

Rita: "Scotland, here we come!"

[The kids all cheer in excitement. Lynn ruffles Lincoln's hair, and Lori texts away on her phone.]

Me: Ooh, I wanna come, I wanna come! I've always wanted to travel to another country!

Lincoln: You think your parents will let you?

Me: I hope so. I'm gonna call them. [I get my phone and walk off]

Lynn Sr.: "Let's check the old vacay coin jar. This is just the kind of thing we've all been saving up for!"

[Lynn Sr. later empties the jar, and all there is is just one quarter as it lands on the coffee table.]

Lincoln: "Where'd all the coins go?"

[Lola attempts to sneak away, but the creaky staircase blows her cover and everyone looks at her.]

Lola: "What?! This winning smile doesn't whiten itself, you know!"

[Lola runs her tongue across her teeth and flashes them so bright, it blinds Rita, Luan, and Lily. Luna just puts on sunglasses.]

Luna: "No bucks, no luck, dudes."

[The family groans in disappointment.]

Lucy: "Really?"

Me: [enters the living room, on the phone] Thanks, Dad! Don't worry, I'll be fine. Okay, see you in a week. [hangs up phone, sees the family] Hey, what's wrong?

Lana: Lola spent all our money for our vacation for some teeth whitening.

Lola: Where else was I supposed to get the money for it?!

Lynn Sr.: Now we don't have enough money to go to Scotland.

Me: Oh. Well, my parents said I can go to Scotland as long as I enough money for a plane ticket. Which I do. Thank goodness for me having a job. But sadly, I don't have enough money to take all of you.

Rita: Well, so much for our vacation.

Lincoln: [gets an idea and jumps onto the coffee table] "Mom, Dad, we can make this work! Trust me. We just gotta be…" [The camera does a close up on his determined face] "…a little adventurous."

[The next day, Vanzilla drives to the airport as an upbeat song starts to play. Inside the airport, Lincoln gives his plane ticket to an airline ticket agent. She reads that it's a Class F ticket, and then looks at the grinning family.]

♫ I've packed up all my things

No, there's no looking back

I'm gonna leave it all behind ♫

[A plane starts to take off. As it takes flight, a flight attendant gives a man his drink.]

♫ We might not get tomorrow, we got today

We got no time to waste, cause it's now or never ♫

[Down below, the Louds and I have actually seemed to have to made it... inside the cargo load, and it appears to be a quite a bumpy ride for them. Rita, Lynn Sr., and Lily notice wind blowing toward their direction and look over to see Lincoln waving to them, and holds up a parachute bag.]

♫ Now, now

It's now, it's now

It's now, now

It's now or never ♫

[All the Louds and I are now skydiving off the plane. Lincoln pulls out a map and the camera zooms onto it, where the map is displaying mine and the Louds' journey: the parachutes dropping into France, a bus driving to Germany (while consuming cheese and a sausage), a train making its way to Belgium, and a hot-air balloon over to the British Isles that is about to make it to mine and the family's destination, but strong winds blow it away.]

♫ Now, now

It's now, it's now

It's now, now

It's now or never

(Now, now, now, now)

(Now, now, now, now)

(Now, now, now, now)

It's now or never ♫

[I look down from the balloon and looked scared. Then I hugged Luna tight as she chuckles. Lincoln looks around, and spots something. Using Lana's face as a boost, he climbs up to deflate the balloon, and it makes a splash into the ocean. The family's balloon resurfaces, and Lincoln swims it over to a periscope peeking out from the water. He taps it, and it turns to him.]

♫ I wanna see the world

Wanna do something new

And who knows what were gonna find

It's now or never ♫

[Once it does, a submarine resurfaces below the balloon. A female captain opens the hatch and gestures for them to hop in. The family and I all look at each other, smiling.]

♫ Now, now

It's now, it's now

It's now, now

It's now or never ♫

[Fishes are swimming along underwater and Lincoln is seen looking out the window. Then all the fish spread out, and it shows all his sisters and me, even Lincoln, smooshed against the glass.]

♫ Now, now

It's now, it's now

It's now, now

It's now or never ♫

[The submarine takes off.]

[Bubbles pop up from the water. The submarine comes back up to the surface, and the captain opens up the hatch once again.]

Submarine Captain: "Loud family, welcome to Scotland."

[The Louds and I peek out and are greatly mesmerized at what is in front of them.]

Lincoln: "Whoa."

Me: We made it!

Leni: "Wow."

Lana: "Yeah!"

Lynn: "You did it, Stinkin'."

Lana: "Way to go, bro."

Luan: "Lincoln, you're the man."

Leni: "Totes awesome."

Rita: "Good job, Lincoln."

Lynn Sr.: "This is great, Lincoln."

Lori: "We're in Scotland!"

Lola: "It's like something out of a fairy tale."

[The submarine continues its journey, heading towards the land ahead, an island taking cues from the Scottish: Loch Loud. The sub has docked, and the Louds and I exit.]

Lincoln: "I can't wait to meet our relatives."

Lynn: "Whoo!"

Luan: "Amazing."

Leni: "I don't see a mall, but it's still totes pretty."

Lucy: "It's so wonderful, I don't even mind seeing it in the sunshine."

Me: [takes a deep breath and sighs] Feels so good to be outside America.

[Lori spots something, gasps, and takes a photo.]

Lynn Sr.: [in a Scottish accent] "Time for a wee dauber doon yonder!"

Luan: "An accent already, Dad? Really?"

Lola: "At least he's not wearing a kilt."

Lynn Sr.: "Oh, yeah? Check it out!"

[Lynn Sr. takes off his khakis, revealing that he does have a kilt. The family (sans Lana and me) is taken aback.]

Lana: "Sweet knees, Pops."

[I chuckle]

Lori: "Ooh! Bobby's not gonna believe I'm here." [prepares to call him]

[At the Casagrande mercado in Great Lakes City, Bobby's laptop gets a call from Lori.]

Lori's ringtone: [looping] "Boo-Boo Bear! Boo-Boo Bear!"

[This is the call of a certain Santiago. Bobby, holding a sticker gun, perks up and scrambles to the counter... not before falling.]

Bobby: "Owie!" [picks up] "Babe, miss you so much!"

Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear!"

Bobby: "I hope you got my texts. I sent one every hour, on the hour, just like you asked. How's the vacay?"

Lori: [breaks up] "It's ama-a-a-a-a-zing here!"

Bobby: "What? Oh, I lost you there for a sec."

[On Lori's end, Bobby is also breaking up.]

Lori: "Oh, I was just saying how much I love Scotland!"

Bobby: "Babe!" [breaks up]

Lori: "Wait, you're breaking up. I can't hear you!"

[Cut back to the mercado.]

Bobby: "Babe, I can't hear you!"

Lori: [breaking up] "I love Scot-"

Bobby: "Babe!"

Lori: "B-br-breaking up... y-y-you!"

Bobby: "Wait, what?!"

Lori: "Brea-breaking up... you!" [cuts back to her end] "Stupid phone." [hangs up]

[Back at the mercado, a stunned Bobby drops the laptop, thinking Lori is breaking up with him. Ronnie Anne, having a popsicle, is revealed to have overheard everything.]

Ronnie Anne: "Did Lori just break up with you?"

Bobby: [on the verge of tears] "She said she's in love with some other guy!"

Ronnie Anne: "Well, don't just stand there! You can't let some other guy be her Boo-Boo Bear!"

Bobby: [determined] "Heck no, I can't! There's only one Boo-Boo Bear, and that's me. Looks like I'm going to Scotland!" [He bikes out of the mercado, but heads back inside] "Wait!"

Ronnie Anne: "Huh?"

Bobby: "What was I thinking? You can't ride a bike to Scotland..." [gets a helmet] "Without a helmet."

[He leaves the mercado, for real this time. Ronnie Anne slowly turns to the camera, completely stupefied.]
