(It starts at nighttime at the Loud House. Lincoln is his room reading some manga, when me and Craig come in.)

Craig: Hey, Lincoln. Is it dinnertime yet?  Lincoln: It will be in a second.

Me: Oh, I bet your sisters can’t wait to eat food. I can just imagine.

(I image how the sisters react to dinner)

Lynn Sr.: "Dinner's ready! Come and get it!"

[The sisters quickly rush out of their rooms, and excitedly head downstairs. As they head down the stairs, the frame suddenly freezes. Lincoln, Craig and I appears]
