User blog:LoudHousefanon144/Fanfiction - Richard and the Music Industry

One night, Richard Loud is at his mansion in his room sitting in his computer desk (This is hours after Doug and Michelle made "tweaks" to Luna's image), looking up America's Next Hitmaker on his computer for the top 5 songs on the show. One song catches his eye, it was "What Everybody Wants" by Luna Loud. Richard had been funding the TV contest. Unbeknownst to the viewers and the contestants and to the knowledge of Richard, his friends and his sisters, the contest is just a ploy to lure talented musicians and turn them into pop stars and musical puppets. While Richard has no problem exploiting talented musicians and making money off of them, he draws the line at taking advantage of his family members, so Luna entering the contest is problematic for him.

Richard: What the **** is Luna doin'? Entering the contest? I can't let her get manipulated by Doug and Michelle. I gotta warn her.

Richard then opens another tab on the internet and clicks on the Gmail button. He then clicks "Compose" then writes a letter on the email addressed to Luna Loud

Dear Luna,

''If you are reading this, this is an important message so listen up. That contest you signed up for, "America's Next Hitmaker", it's main purpose of the show is to lure talented musicians and turn them into pop stars that they could use. The producers there just want to change and attach them to strings for them to control. Why would they do this you ask? Well, because people have been kept so long from alternative styles of music that they forgot there were alternatives. As these producers keep giving the same thing over and over again, they make a ton of money from it. Whatever you do, do not perform at that contest, it will ruin your life. You may not believe this, but it's true. Take this advice and don't perform at America's Next Hitmaker, because the producers there will force you to become pop.''

-Richard

Richard then sends the email to Luna. At the Loud House, Luna receives an email from Richard and decides to check it on her phone. She reads the letter, but refuses to believe it.

Luna: I don't get it, how would Richard know about this whole show? He's crazy for thinking this theory.

The next day, at America's Next Hitmaker, Richard's warning turns out to be true

Doug: Sorry, you're no longer Luna Loud.

Luna: Excuse me, brah?

Michelle: We did some pre-show testing, and the name Luna Loud just doesn't say girl the whole world loves.

Doug: But your new one does.

(Michelle takes Luna's axe away and straps on a new kind of guitar with the name Lulu on it)

Luna: Lulu?!

Doug: Yup, just Lulu. Isn't it fabulous?

Luna: This doesn't even have strings! How am I supposed to play it?!

Doug: Oh, honey, you don't need to play, or sing. You just have to lip-synch.

Michelle: Almost showtime. Break a leg, Lulu." (She and Doug walk away.)

Luna: Wh-wh-what? (Her shock turns to sadness) Oh, Richard was right, these producers are turning me into pop.

Richard and his family arrive in a limo at the theatre where the contest is taking place and take seats in the auditorium. Doug and Michelle are on stage as they announce Luna

Doug: Our next contestant hails from Royal Woods, Michigan. Please give a warm welcome to Lulu.

The curtains draw back to reveal Luna as Lulu much to Richard and his family's shock

Richard: This is so ****ed up!

Lucio: What happened to Luna?

Luna: Sorry, I've made a huge mistake. (tosses the guitar away) "This isn't me. I'm not Lulu, I am Luna Loud! (She takes off the wig and throws it out into the audience.)

Luna: ♫ Rock and roll is running through my veins (hey, hey)' Electric soul like wires to my brain (hey, hey)' I can't be wrong, don't need direction' I can find my way' Play it loud, play it loud ♫

Richard: YEAH! GO LUNA!

Luna:'' ♫ I got no time for turning it down' Play it loud, play it proud!' I live it, I breathe it' Don't tell me I don't need it now' Play it loud!' Sorry, I'm not sorry for being proud' Play it loud!' Turn it up until your speakers blow out' First things first, I ain't no second place' Rules are meant for bending till they break' Right or wrong with no exceptions' Rocking out my way' Play it loud, play it loud' I got no time for turning it down' Play it loud, play it proud!' I live it, I breathe it' Don't tell me I don't need it now' Play it loud!' Sorry, I'm not sorry for being proud' Play it loud!' Turn it up until your speakers blow out' Until your speakers blow out' Until your speakers BLOW OUT! ♫''

The crowd, including Richard and his family, cheers at Luna's performance. Luna then goes backstage and is greeted by her family (including her wealthy relatives).

Richard: Congratulations Luna, you rocked the whole audience.

Luna: Thanks dudes! It's what I should've done instead of letting those producers change me.

The next day, when the public found out about the true purpose of America's Next Hitmaker, the producers of the show, Doug and Michelle, receive backlash and lose money, and Richard meets up with them at the theatre, intending to sever ties with them after they have become a liability to his business.

Richard: What the hell is the matter with ya? What part of "my relatives is off limits" do you not understand?

Doug: But Mr. Loud, we didn't know that Luna Loud is related to you.

Michelle: We're sorry.

Richard: Bull****! Everyone knows who's related to me and who's not! Not only you tried to exploit my cousin Luna, you're losing money! Ugh! This business relation is over between us, you hear me?

Thanks to Luna's performance at America's Next Hitmaker, the show's producers has lost business with Richard Loud, who had severed ties with them not only for attempting to change one of his relatives, but also for losing money.
