User blog:007Jamesdean/The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos (Done My Way)

Act 1
 [Episode begins with Vanzilla driving away.]

 Me, Varie, Eddy, Lincoln, Laney and Lori are driving to the Santiago House.

Lincoln: "Can't I just stay in the car?"

Lori: "No. You are saying goodbye to your girlfriend in person!"

Lincoln: "Ronnie Anne is my girlfriend but we aren't that close like you and Bobby and it's not good-bye. They're only going away for the weekend.

Lori:  [sobbing]  "It might as well be forever. I don't know what I'll do without my Bobby Boo-Boo Bear!" [takes her hands off the wheel and covers her face.]

Lincoln:  [grabs hold of the wheel and steers.]  "Lori! Get it together, woman!"

Me: Hold on tight Lincoln!

 [The Santiago's residence. Lori and Bobby are holding each other while crying]

Bobby: "Here, babe. This is for you." [takes out a hoodie with a cat dressed as a businessman.]  "I wore it all week under my uniform."

 [A cat's meow sound is played.]

Lori: "Ah, Boo-Boo Bear." [embraces it]  "It smells like love. And corndogs."

 [As they cry again, Me, Varie, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne are watching them, having gotten tired of it.]

Ronnie Anne:  [looks at her watch]  "Ugh. It's been 20 minutes. I'm calling it."

 [Lincoln nods in agreement and the two of them go up to their older siblings and me and Lincoln try to pull Lori away and Ronnie Anne tries to pull Bobby away, which proves to be a task with them holding each other tightly.]

Me: So Ronnie Anne, you excited to visit your grandparents?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [to Me and Lincoln while prying Bobby]  "Yeah. And my aunt and uncle, and their four kids. It's crazy. You'd like it."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Varie: I had no idea you have a big family like Lincoln does.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: Yeah. I know. It's crazy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: "How are you gonna deal with it?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "It's only two days, then everything's back to normal."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori:  [wailing]  "TWO DAYS!!!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Eddy: Okay this is getting tiresome.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Me, Eddy, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne finally pry their older siblings away, but just as Lincoln is leaving while dragging Lori, she sticks herself in the doorframe.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori:  [devastated]  "BOBBY!!!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [dejected]  "LORI!!!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori: "I'LL THINK OF YOU EVERY MINUTE!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "EVERY  SECOND !"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lincoln pries out Lori and the oldest Loud girl runs back to Vanzilla crying while Bobby looks out the window downtrodden.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> Eddy: Whoo. I thought we would never pry those two apart.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> Laney: Yeah. But have a nice trip Ronnie Anne.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> Ronnie Anne: I will Laney.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> Eddy: Be safe out there.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie: Will do Eddy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: Have a good time at your relatives Ronnie Anne.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: [Fistbumps me] I will Lame-o.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">''Varie: Bye, Ronnie Anne. You and Bobby have fun.''

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie: I will Varie.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: "Well, have a nice trip."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [punches Lincoln's shoulder playfully]  "Smell you later, Lame-o."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln:  [chuckles]  "Not if I smell you first." [leaves]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Ronnie Anne waves as she closes the door, Bobby walks away still sniveling over not seeing Lori, and Ronnie Anne's mother comes home.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "Hi, sweetie." [hugs her daughter]  "Oh, sorry I had to work a double shift again. I wish I didn't have to leave you on your own so much.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "I don't mind. I mean, how many kids get to practice kick flips inside the-"  [her mother looks at her suspiciously]  "Uh, I'll get our bags."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria:  [surprised]  "You packed for us? How did I get so lucky with you?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "I also made us sandwiches and put a toy bag together for Bobby. You know how bored he gets in the car."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [insulted and still sad]  "You make me sound like a baby!" [sniffles]  "Did you pack my sticker books?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [In Toledo, Ohio at the Casa Grande Corner Market and Apartment Complex, the Santiago's arrive.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "We're here!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [with his face covered in stickers.]  "Ho-ho! The bodega's looking good!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "Are you ready to spend two wonderful days with your family?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Inside the building, grandpa Hector is taking decorations from apartment 2A to apartment 2B with his toddler Carlitos mimicking him. His wife Rosa comes out of 2B with a pot and Carlitos starts mimicking her.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa: "Hector, you were supposed to put up all the decorations this morning!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hector: "I was helping customers."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa: "You were  gossiping  with the customers."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hector: "I do  not  gossip! By the way, did you hear Vito Filliponio whitens his teeth?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa: "Ugh."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [As they take care of business, pet parrot Sergio comes out of 2B with a bone.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Big dog Lalo chases after the bird.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa: "Sergio! Give Lalo back his toy!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Enter only daughter Carlota with her hair all frizzy.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlota: "Carl! Did you use all my hair product again?!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Enter self-proclaimed stud Carl.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carl: "This kind of handsome doesn't happen on its own."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Carlota grabs Carl and starts rubbing his hair against hers.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carl: "STOP IT! YOU'RE SMOOSHING THE FLAIR!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Their mother Frida takes a picture of them fighting.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida:  [overjoyed]  "I love seeing my babies play so sweetly." [gets tears in her eyes and cries into the next apartment with Carlitos following and mimicking her.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Carl and Carlota fix their hair and go their separate ways. Enter one more kid named CJ wearing a cape.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">CJ: "I'm Super CJ!" [makes whooshing noises and pretends to fly with Carlitos mimicking that.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Enter the father Carlos reading a book.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlos: "Okay, Super CJ, just watch where you're going." [walks into a wall]  "Oof! Huh, whoopsie." [clears throat and reads his book.]  "Ooh! Did you know that sea anemones glow when they're scared."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlota: "Dad, it's the weekend. You're not supposed to be doing professor stuff."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlos: "Oh, this isn't for work. It's just for fun."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa:  [hands Carlos a casserole dish]  "Carlos, put this on the table for me, please."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [While Carlos is too busy reading his book, Lalo eats up the casserole which Carlitos imitates. CJ continues playing his superhero game.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida:  [with a curtain]  "Where should we put this?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Everyone starts arguing about the arrangements.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Casagrande's: "No no no!" / "Right here!" / "Why did we wait so long to do this?" / "They're gonna be here any second!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">CJ:  [seeing someone]  "Bobby!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [The rest of the family gasps and CJ whooshes into Bobby's arms.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [The rest of the Casagrande's take the Santiago's luggage while Ronnie Anne is with Rosa.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [unenthusiastic with a fake smile]  "Yay. Two whole days."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">At the Loud House Me, Varie, Eddy, Lincoln and the Girls are all standing outside of Lori's room. Lori had been crying ever since we got back.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: Boy, I don't think I've ever seen or hear Lori cry this much. Shes been in there for 2 hours. Do you think she'll ever get tired?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Luna: Who knows, dude?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lynn: The last time she was this upset, she stayed in her room for 2 days.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lola: That girl has it bad for that guy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Laney: I agree, Lola. Me and Joey never act like that.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Eddy: Luan, I'm glad I have you Luan. You know how to always make me happy.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Luan: Me too Eddy. By the way J.D. where did they go?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: They're going to see their grandparents, aunt and uncle and their four cousins. Ronnie Anne says it should be chaotic. Kinda like this family.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Leni: Ronnie Anne has a big family like ours? That is totes cool!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Varie: I hope Lori gets better soon.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: Well, I'm out.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: I hope Lori and Bobby get back together soon. I don't know how much longer I can stand seeing Lori cry like this.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Varie: I wonder how they're doing now.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Back at the Casa Grande building in Toledo.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [In the apartment, a door is jutting.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hector: "There's room for your luggage in the hall closet." [opens the door and quickly tosses the luggage into the closet before it collapses.]  "Plenty of room."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [In the living room, while the Casagrande's are getting things ready, Bobby gets some food from the table.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa:  [gasps]  "Roberto! You're all bones and skin!" [adds more to Bobby's plate]  "Eat! Eat!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Bobby turns around and sees the parrot, much to his shock.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [scared]  "Sergio..." [chuckles]  "You're still alive."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Sergio hisses at Bobby.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [laughs at Bobby]  "Looks like your little buddy missed you."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lalo pounces on Ronnie Anne and starts licking her.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Lalo, get off me!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [laughs at Ronnie Anne]  "Looks like your little buddy missed you, too."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Ronnie Anne gets Lalo off her and stands up with her hair sticking up from all that licking. Just then there's a knock at the door. Maria goes to answer it and opens the door to reveal two kids who look like Me and Varie except they're are dressed in Russian Attire and taller. The boy has a black Russian fur cap, red shirt and orange sweatpants and the girl has a white Russian fur cap, dark green summer shirt and a red skirt.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">As the kids leave, Frida and Maria are talking in the kitchen.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida: "So, have you told the kids yet?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria:  [closes the kitchen shutters]  "No. Not yet. And please keep it a secret."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida: And Johann and Varya.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "Guys, please don't say anything. I haven't found the right moment to talk to Bobby and Ronnie Anne. It would be such a big change. I want to make sure they're on board."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida: "I will help convince them."

I love what you've done with the place, but have you ever considered putting the milk in the rear of the store? Then, other people would buy other things on their way to it. It's called "impulse shopping". I learned that at my supermarket job."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hector: "You're a genius!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: Come, we will show you!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: Behold.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie saw in amazment a miniature wood-carved replica diorama of the city of Moscow, Russia with buildings from all over Russia's History and it had a model train set in it.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: Wow!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: It took me 3 months, some landscaping and almost all of the tables we had, but I finished it and this was the end result. So, what do you think?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: Wow. This is... Neat.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: Come on, let's go play with it!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann drags Ronnie Anne and the 3 start playing.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann and Varya are happily playing with the trains while Ronnie Anne looks uninterested.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: This was SO awesome. Wouldn't it be great if we could do this every day?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: Yeah, it sure would, but it would be kinda hard since we're going back in two days. Now I gotta go back to my apartment.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne leaves but doesn't notice the stairs.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: Watch out for the...

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: Stairs.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: [weakly] Ow.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne goes to the kitchen in the apartment through the back window limping.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "It'd be great, but by the time it got to Royal Woods, it would be a little cold."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa:  [having misheard that]  "What?! You've got a cold? You know what really opens up the sinuses? Hot sauce!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Remember, it's very important that you're the first person Bobby sees after he eats this."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori: "Got it."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Outside the bodega, Lori goes to Bobby who is sweeping the area, sneaks up behind him and gives the OK to Ronnie Anne.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori:  [feigning casualty]  "Hi, Boo-Boo Bear. I thought you might be hungry. I baked you a cookie."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "Oh, chocolate chip! Score!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Enter another customer]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Vito: "Uh, excuse me. Can you tell me where you put the milk?" [smiles with his teeth giving off a gleam.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "You must be Vito."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Vito: "How did you know?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "Uh, just a lucky guess." [to Lori]  "One sec, babe. I gotta help this customer." [goes to help Vito]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Both Lori and Ronnie Anne groan in complete frustration and Sergio comes flying out the window, snatches the cookie off the plate, eats it, and sees Bobby.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "Alright, Mr. Filliponio, have a great rest of your day."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Vito leaves with a big smile on his face. Bobby turns and sees Sergio eyeing him romantically.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Sergio:  [under the power of the love cookie; squawks passionately.]  "Who's the hunk? Hubba, hubba!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Bobby doesn't like the sound of that and runs away with Sergio in hot pursuit.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lori is dragging Lincoln by his arm. Me, Varie, Eddy, Luan, Leni, Laney, and Lily are following them]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln, Me, Varie, Leni and Lily: "We're leaving?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: But Mrs. Casagrande's baking a cake."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: And Johann hasn't showed me the best part of his Russian train set yet.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori:  [heartbroken]  "Lincoln, I literally just lost my boyfriend." [angrily]  "Do you really wanna argue with me right now?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Laney: Come on Lori, he still Loves you no matter

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Enter Bobby covered in feathers thanks to Sergio.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "Babe, where are you going?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori:  [furious]  "What do you care? Why don't you just go back to your precious bodega? You obviously care about it more than you care about me!" [starts sobbing]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> Me: We'd better go back inside.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: "I'm just gonna go help Mrs. Casagrande with the frosting." [chuckles and we rush back into the apartment following Lincoln.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Guys, what's happening out there?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: "We don't know. But it was too much drama for me."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [notices something]  "Wait a minute. They're hugging, and Lori's smiling. She must have finally convinced him! Yes!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lori comes back in and Ronnie Anne comes running up to her.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" [hugs Lori]  "I knew we could do this! I'll go pack up my stuff."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori:  [sheepishly]  "Uh, actually..."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [not happy]  "What?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori: "I know I came here to convince Bobby not to move, but after talking to him, I think he should stay."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [aghast]  "After he totally forgot about you?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori: "But he didn't. He's actually been thinking really hard about how we can make this work. We'll only be apart for a year, and then we can both go to the college here where your Uncle Carlos teaches."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Well, that's great for you guys, but what about me? Lincoln, come on, help me out here."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln:  [licking the leftover frosting on the whisk.]  "I don't know, Ronnie Anne. I think your family's pretty awesome." [licks the frosting again]  "I mean, who can make a cake like this?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [smacks the whisk out of Lincoln's hand.]  "UGH!" [stomps away]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Later that night, Ronnie Anne is sitting outside on the steps upset that nothing worked.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria:  [comes outside]  "Are you okay, honey? Lincoln said you were out here."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Mom, I don't wanna move. I like my life back home. I have my own room. I can do my own thing. Here, I can't even go to the bathroom without an audience."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "I know it would be an adjustment, but think how nice it would be to be part of a big family, and they all love you so much."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "I love them, too. I just..." [makes big pleading eyes]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "Honey, I would never make you move if you didn't want to. I really wanted this to feel like home for you, but if it doesn't, it doesn't. Why don't you pack up while I break the news?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Thanks for understanding, mom."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [They hug and step back into the building, but they forgot to close the door with a note attached to it.] DON'T FORGET TO LOCK THE  DOOR !

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [At that moment, the cat gang sees this as an opportunity. Ronnie Anne runs to the closet to get her things, but to her surprise, it's been converted into her own room, just like Lincoln's.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlos: "So, what do you think?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Frida takes a photo of Ronnie Anne in her new room.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "What is this?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlos: "Well, we thought you might need a space of your own."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carl:  [referring to the skateboards and skateboarding posters.]  "I put those up. And if you ever wanna go skating, I have been known to shred like a boss."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlota: "And I picked out some hoodies for you. We'll work our way up to dresses."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hector: "And I stocked the fridge with those ice pops you like." [shows her a mini-fridge with them in it.]  "You can pay me back later."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa:  [nudges her husband for that last statement and holds up an incense container.]  "I cleansed the room of evil spirits." [holds up a container of bug spray.]  "And spiders."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida:  [showing her photos]  "And I hung some pictures of our beautiful family." [points to a specific one]  "I even put up one of you and your boyfriend."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: They're close but not as close as Lori and Bobby.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">CJ:  [holding up a sign]  "And I made this. It says Ronnie Anne's Room: Keep out!"  [gives it to her]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [touched]  "Wow, guys. This is incredible. I don't know what to say."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "Don't worry, honey. I'll handle it. I'm sorry, everyone, but I think we're going to-"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [interrupting]  "Need more snacks for the moving in party!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Rosa:  [screams in a panic]  "THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SNACKS?! I AM SO EMBARRASSED!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [The others, Me, Varie, Eddy, Luan, Leni, Laney, Lily, Lincoln and Lori go to help with the snacks while Maria and Ronnie Anne stay behind.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Maria: "So, you wanna stay?" [Ronnie Anne nods]  "What changed your mind?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "You're right, Mom. It  is  gonna be an adjustment, but maybe it  will  be nice being part of a big family. Especially this one."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [They hug again, but the precious moment is cut when a thud is heard.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne and Maria:  [horrified]  "Oh no. WE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: AYE CARAMBA!!!!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lalo hears it and the cats barge into the apartment much to the dog's horror. They shred up Carlos and go after the others. Rosa and Carlota attack with brooms, but the cats get them and they run away. Lincoln and CJ attack with their pirate play. The cats strip Hector of his pants, revealing he wears chili pepper boxers.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [notices them]  "Grandpa, sick boxers!" [takes his pants off revealing a pair of his own.]  "We should sell them at the bodega!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hector: "Great idea!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Frida:  [screaming and taking a quick photo.]  "I'M ALLERGIC ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!!!" [wails] [The cats chase Lalo who runs under the table and knocks the cake into the air.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">The Casagrande's: "THE CAKE!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [runs in]  "I've got it!" [catches it]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [The Casagrande's sigh with relief, but the cats pass Ronnie Anne, making her trip and drop the cake on her.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Varie: I got this.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Varie fires a torrent of water that smells like fish and the cats follow it out the door and I close it.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: Whew!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [The next day, Lori and Bobby are hugging farewell.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lori: "I'm really gonna miss you, Boo-Boo Bear, but I'm so excited about our future together."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby: "Me too, babe. I'll be counting down the days until I see you again."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carl:  [hugging Lori's legs]  "As will I."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bobby:  [chuckles]  "Carl, could we have a minute?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carl: "Fine. But remember, my gazelle, if he ever mistreats you..." [opens his jacket and reveals a tattoo of Lori on his stomach labeled "Mi Amor."]  "...this puma will be ready to pounce!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carlota:  [angrily off-screen]  "WHO USED UP ALL OF MY LIMITED EDITION BLACK EYELINER?!"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Carl:  [covers himself up and chuckles sheepishly.]  "Gotta run!" [goes back inside]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lori and Bobby chuckle at that little moment and hug one more time. Lincoln is getting his and Lori's stuff into Vanzilla.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln:  [to Ronnie Anne]  "So, I guess this is goodbye."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne:  [holds her fist out]  "Yeah. Smell you later, lame-o."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: We'll miss you Ronnie Anne. But we'll always keep you in our hearts.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Varie: Yeah. But it's gonna different in Royal Woods without you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Eddy: Yeah but it was fun.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Luan: I agree.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Laney: It was awesome with you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lily: Yeah. We'll miss you.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: I'm gonna miss you all.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: Maybe you'll come back to us one day for a visit. We would all like that.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: Me too.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Leni: Totes!

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lincoln flinches at the possible punch, and then Ronnie Anne hugs him instead, and he hugs her back.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Don't get used to it."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> [Lincoln prepares to leave but stops.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: "Oh, before I go, here's something that might help you out. It always helps me." [whispers it into Ronnie Anne's ear.]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: "Really?"

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lincoln: "Trust me."

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Back at the Loud House at the present day we were doing a simulation in Lisa's virtual reality machine on what would've happened.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">SIMULATION ENDED.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: I'm glad that was a simulation and not the real thing.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Ronnie Anne: I know. But I'm glad that my family is moving into a house across the street from you and Johann and Varya are with them too as roommate families.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: Me too Ronnie Anne. Now we're next door neighbors. Thank you for letting us use your Virtual Reality Simulator, Lisa.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Lisa: My pleasure J.D.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Me: [To the viewers] This turned out to be an amazing experience. Not only are the Casagrandes and the Santiago's next door neighbors but also Johann and Varya now live with them. This is now the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Right Johann?

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann appears and puts his hand on my shoulder.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Molengo,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Johann: Right comrade.
