User blog:MrTyeDye/Fanfiction: Peeking Through the Fourth Wall (Episode 24)

''[We open on the couch. Lincoln is accompanied by Luna, Lucy, Lola and Lana.]''

Lincoln: Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Peeking Through the Fourth Wall. Today we'll be looking at a story that was sent to us anonymously. It's called... "Lincoln Betrays Lucy".

Lucy: Oh, dear. This can't be good.

The episode started with Lucy who was wearing her pony pajamas while watching the big Pony Princess marathon. 

Lucy: Sigh. This again. And it's "Princess Pony", not "Pony Princess".

Early that day, she lied to her siblings who were going to see Lynn at her basketball game by telling them that she was busy with Haiku when in reality she was actually getting prepared for the Princess Pony marathon on TV.

Lucy: Thank you, Grammy.

"Excellent, they all left so now I can enjoy my break." 

Unfortunately for Lucy, Lincoln unexpectedly entered the house since he forgot the video camera so he can record Lynn playing her game and he saw Lucy in a pony costume. 

Luna: Wait, so were they pony pajamas or a pony costume? There's a pretty big difference.

''"...Why are you in a pony pajamas Lucy?" ''

"Sigh, The truth is that I only read Princess Pony and watch the show on my break." 

Lincoln: What's this "break" she keeps talking about?

Lucy: My break from the darkness, I would guess.

Lincoln: But... I already know about that.

''"I see, but how come you didn't tell us about this?" ''

Lucy: Are you really asking that question?

"Because they will mock me for liking girls' stuff." 

Lola: The problem with Princess Pony isn't that it's girly. The problem is that it's unbelievably girly. Seriously, Lucy, what do you see in that show?

Lucy: It's complicated.

"...But Lana is a tomboy and no one mocks her. " 

Lana: Well, duh. I'd beat 'em up if they did.

Luna: And gender roles are a little more complex than that, dude. Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading. A girl like Lana who acts tomboyish might get scolded, but not laughed at.

Lincoln: But that doesn't really apply here, does it? Lucy's a girl.

Luna: Well, yeah, but when I say a girl, I mean a girl girl.

Lucy: And what exactly is that supposed to mean?

[Beat]

Luna: ...let's just get back to the story.

"That is very different Lincoln so please don't tell anyone about this. " 

"I promise that I won't tell anyone about the truth." 

"Thank you brother. "  '''[Okay, really? Does this writer hate periods or something?]'''

Luna: I know I do.

Lola: Why?

Luna: You'll understand when you're older.

And so Lincoln grabbed the video camera and ran back in the van as he and his eight sisters were going to Lynn's basketball game. On their ways to school, Lincoln was chuckling to himself as he couldn't stop thinking about his gothic sister wearing the pony pajamas. 

Lucy: Is it really that funny?

Lola: Well, that depends. Were you just wearing pajamas with ponies on them? Because that'd be, you know, whatever. But if you were wearing a full costume, with a tail and hooves, that would be pretty funny.

Lana: Yeah! How would she even sit down in that? [Laughs]

Lucy: But would you tease me for it?

Lola: If you see your sister dressed up as a horse and you don't tease her for it, you've failed as a sibling.

Lola and Lana had no idea why their brother was trying not to laugh so they decided to ask him why. 

"Hey Lincoln, why are you laughing to yourself?"

"Yeah, what's funny?"

"It was just something Lucy was wearing back at home." 

Luna: Wha - dude! Now they're gonna pester you about what she was wearing! What kind of secret keeper are you?!

Lincoln: Well, what was I supposed to tell them?

Luna: I don't know, make something up! Tell them that Clyde told you a funny joke! This isn't hard, Lincoln!

And then Lincoln realized what he had just said so he immediately tried to change the topic, but unfortunately it was too late since his sisters started to guess which outfit Lucy was wearing. 

''"Were you laughing at her vampire costume?" ''

"No Leni, why would Lincoln be laughing at vampires? He is literally obviously laughing at her ridiculous skeleton costume." 

Lucy: Why would I be wearing either of those? It's not even Halloween.

Luna: I thought every day was Halloween for you.

Lincoln tried his best to trick his sisters into believing in him by telling Lori that it was true but unfortunately Lola didn't believe him at all since she remembered that she had pony pajamas and the fact that Lucy was nearly her size. 

Lola: Wha... I don't have pony pajamas! Why would I have dopey pony pajamas?!

Luna: And even if you did, Lucy's not the kind of girl who would just take them without asking.

Lincoln: And why would you even think of that? You don't know that Lucy likes Princess Pony.

Lola: Yes I do.

Lincoln: In the story, I mean.

"Guys, I just realized something." 

''"What is it, Lola?" ''

Lincoln: Who said that?

[Beat]

Lincoln: No, really, who said that? Before we could just figure it out from the context, but that could have been said by any one of us. Could have been Lily for all we know.

"What if Lincoln is hiding that Lucy is wearing my pony pajamas?" 

Lana: ...did Lola just admit that the pony pajamas are hers?

Luna: Apparently.

Lana: So then why aren't we teasing her about that?

And then everyone went silent as they never thought of that. Leni broke the silence by saying that Lola is right since she believes her about the fact she is actually watching Princess Pony on TV. 

"I know you guys will say no at my face but what if Lucy watches a girl show when she is alone?"

Luna: I don't know, what if she does macramé? What if she blogs about urban politics? What if she wraps herself in toilet paper and pretends to be a mummy? How did Leni just happen to randomly guess what the truth was?!

Lincoln become surprised that Leni and Lola guessed correctly and he was forced to tell his sisters to not tell Lucy's secret to anyone. 

"I knew it!"

"Yay!"

Lucy: "Yay"? Is someone excited that I like Princess Pony? Who would get excited over that?

Lola: I don't know.

Lana: And the story sure isn't telling us.

''"Wow, I can't believe Lucy is literally a fan of Princess Pony." ''

''"Please guys, can't we just move on?" ''

Lana: Only after one week of teasing. You know the rules, Linc.

Lola: One week? After I wet myself during that school trip you wouldn't stop calling me "Betsy Wetsy" for a month!

Lana: Well, yeah, but I'm your twin. I get special privileges.

''"No Lincoln, this is a very big deal because we literally didn't know that Lucy was a fan of Princess Pony." ''

"I will tell this whole secret to everyone because this is very wrong to be a fan of a show that everyone hates. " 

Lincoln: It's not "wrong" to like something that most people don't. Plenty of us do. I mean, I enjoyed Savvy & Jack #6.

Luna: And I didn't mind Mick Swagger's disco album.

Lana: I like anchovies on pizza!

[Everyone else cringes in disgust.]

Lola: Too far, Lana.

"But why everyone hates Pony Princess, Heck you like unicorn Lola" '''[I just left that sentence untouched to show all of you what I've been dealing with. I hope you're grateful.]'''

Lincoln: Oh, stop kvetching.

"Well Lincoln, Princess Pony is stupid! Like, the characters have no personality at all and they keep making dumb decisions! "

Lincoln: How could you possibly know that unless you follow Princess Pony yourself?

"Oh come on Lola, that is ridiculous! And please don't do it, because Lucy's life will be ruined; she will lose all of her friends and then she will hate us forever because of it." 

Lucy: Sigh. I wouldn't hate you forever. Even if you did do something that mean.

Lola: Even if you lost all your friends over it?

Lucy: If they stopped being friends with me over that, they were never my friends to begin with.

"Well dude, the bright side is that there might be secret Princess Pony fans in school so Lucy will still have a few friends. " 

Luna: Or, we could just... not tell her friends.

Lincoln: Yeah, how is this any different from me publishing those embarrassing videos of you?

Lucy: It isn't.

"I wish you guys would respect secrets from each other." 

"Well this is Lucy's fault for not telling us about it in the first place."

Lucy: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The reason I tried to keep it hidden was because I knew you all would react like this. How is that my fault?

Later at school after Lynn's basketball game, their sisters immediately told everyone at school about Lucy's love for Princess Pony. The very next day, Lincoln witnessed Lynn making fun of Lucy before she went to school.

"Hahaha, I can't believe my gothic roommate is actually a fan of that garbage show!" 

"Please stop teasing me." 

"No, because we will make fun of you for the rest of your life. Oh also everyone in your school know about your secret too." 

Lola: Well, so much for not blabbing about other peoples' secrets, huh?

"Sigh, I hope they still respect me."

Luna: She sounds pretty mellow for someone who just had her secret blabbed to the whole school.

But unfortunately, when she arrived at school, Haiku told her something that made Lucy very sad. 

"I am very disappointed in you Lucy." 

"Yes, I know but are we still friends?"

"Not anymore, because you're a loser. Oh, also you are no longer welcome in our club." 

Lucy: Ridiculous. Haiku wouldn't do that.

Lincoln: How can you be so sure?

Lucy: Because we wouldn't let something like that ruin our friendship. Besides, she watches Frank the Foreman. And everyone in our club knows it.

Lana: What, that baby show? [Snickers]

Lucy: The very one. She says she does it "ironically", but I don't buy it.

"But why?"

"Because we don't allow Princess Pony fans and a real goth doesn't like girly stuff." 

Lucy: Sigh. Classic gatekeeping. You don't get to decide what's goth and what isn't.

"Sigh."

"Now get out of my way."

Lucy decided to put herself inside of her own locker since she got kicked out from the morticians club, She lost all of her friends as they started making fun of her and worst of all, Lincoln was very guilty about accidentally telling her secret to his sisters. So Lincoln went to her locker and opened it.

Lincoln: How did I know that I would find her in her locker?

Luna: Lucy does tend to like dark, cramped spaces.

He apologized to her by telling that it was their sister's fault for not keeping the secrets but sadly she didn't believe him. 

Luna: So he just tried to shift the blame onto all of us? That's not much of an apology.

Lincoln: It was all your faults, though. I wasn't the one who told everyone at school. In fact, I tried to stop that from happening.

"No Lincoln, This was your fault and I don't believe you told the secret by accident. "

"But Lucy..."

"No more excuses, You are no longer my brother and I refused to forgive you so now leave me alone."

Lincoln: Oh, come on! Why am I the only one she's angry at?

''So Lincoln closed the locker since he was sad about it but then he realized that there's always a way to get her forgiveness. He bought her chocolates but unfortunately Lucy hates chocolates so she threw it at his face. He offered to do her chores for a whole week but sadly Lucy still refused to forgive him. ''

Lucy: Chocolate is delicious. I have no idea what this writer is talking about.

Lincoln: And if she did hate chocolate, why would I buy it for her?

"Please Lucy, is there a way for you to forgive me and be your brother again?"

At that moment, Lucy got a great idea for revenge so she can fully forgive him. She took Lincoln to his room where he was wondering what she was doing.

''"Okay, Lincoln, in order to prove that you are really sorry..." ''

''"What is it?" ''

''"You must humiliate yourself in front of the whole neighborhood." ''

Lucy: I have so many problems with this.

Luna: So do I, but you go ahead.

Lucy: First of all, if this actually happened, I wouldn't just assume that Lincoln did it on purpose. He loves me too much to do something so cruel. Second of all, forgiveness is something you earn by correcting your mistakes and learning from them, not by punishing yourself. If someone expects you to jump through hoops and go through agony to earn their forgiveness, then their forgiveness isn't worth earning.

Lincoln: What about the time when I embarrassed myself to make up for embarrassing all of you?

Lucy: I didn't ask you to do that.

"...How?"

"Simple; wear my pony pajamas so that everyone will forget about my secret."

Lola: They wouldn't fit him.

''"I don't think that's a good idea." ''

''"Do it or else you will never be forgiven." ''

''"Alright, I will do it." ''

''"Excellent." ''

''And so Lucy assembled a crowd of people to stand outside the Loud house. She had a long, red carpet stretched down the steps of his house, going all the way across the street. Lucy was sitting in a long chair at the end of it smiling, with a sign that read "Grovel Here".''

Lucy: I think this writer is confusing me with Lola.

Lola: Hey!

2 minutes later, Leni came back home from her work where she saw everyone standing around her house, so she went to meet Lucy about what going on.

''"Hi Lucy, why are you in a chair and how come everyone is here? Are we having a big party?" ''

''"No Leni, they are here to make fun of Lincoln." ''

Luna: Sheesh. A little on-the-nose, wouldn't you say, Luce?

''"But why?" ''

''"Because he told my secrets to everyone so this is his punishment." ''

Lucy: This is disgusting. Watching Lincoln suffer wouldn't make me feel better. It would make me feel worse.

Lincoln: But the video-

Lucy: Lincoln, let me make something clear. I appreciated what you did to try to fix your mistake. That doesn't mean I enjoyed seeing you humiliate yourself in order to do it.

''"Umm Lucy, it was actually Lori and Lola that spread your secrets, not Lincoln." ''

Lola: I thought it was all of us! Why is she singling out me and Lori?!

Lana: Well, you two are the "mean" sisters, so...

Lola: We're what?!

''"Leni, is that true?" ''

''"Yes, you went too far with his punishment." ''

Lucy: Any amount would have been too far. He didn't deserve to be punished.

Then Lucy becomes speechless because of this since she believed it was Lincoln but it turned out it wasn't him at all so she tried to stop Lincoln but it was too late since the door creaked open which everyone saw the pony slippers slowly walking into the carpet which- '''[OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT'S CALLED PUNCTUATION. YOU SHOULD TRY USING IT SOMETIME. IT'S PRETTY NEAT.]'''

[Everyone stares at the screen.]

'''[Sorry. Lost my cool for a bit. Let's keep going.]'''

-which made them start laughing at Lincoln for wearing pony pajamas.

Even Pop-Pop was laughing at his own grandson humiliated while taking pictures for the album.

"This is literally hilarious, I can't believe Lincoln is embarrassing himself."

''"First Lucy is a fan of Princess Pony and now Lincoln is." ''

''"I know, right, Lynn? This is the best day of my life! It'll help me have new pony jokes for my funny business." ''

Lincoln: That... doesn't make any sense.

'''[Best I could do. Take it or leave it.]'''

''"Normally, I don't care for inane human emotions, but hahahahaha!" ''

Lincoln was walking past dozens of boys and girls, pointing and laughing at him while taking pictures of his pony pajamas while not noticing that his sister Lucy was trying to stop the disaster.

Suddenly Ronnie Anne took her water gun and squirted the tail on the seat of his pajamas.

Lola: So the pajamas did have a tail on them.

[Beat]

Luna: And?

Lincoln: Yeah, it's way too late for that to make any difference.

''"Nice pajamas you have Lame-o." ''

''Then she started to laugh at him while he became increasingly embarrassed and humiliated. Then Katherine...''

Lincoln: Who?

...started broadcasting Lincolns humiliation on TV where the Casagrande family started to laugh when they saw Lincoln on TV in their apartment.

Luna: Must be a pretty slow news day if they're running a story about a kid in pony pajamas.

''Later Lincoln was looking around while taking a long glance at everyone pointing, laughing, taking pictures and enjoying his humiliation before slowly walking back toward the house. Lucy yelled out to him and Lincoln turned to look at her in disappointment when he entered his house.''

Five hours later after the incident, Lincoln found his sister Lucy in the house near his room.

''"Please brother, I am very sorry for your embarrassing punishment, I regret doing it after learning that it was really Lori and Lola that spread my secrets!" ''

But however, Lincoln just ignored her and glared at his former sister then walked to the bathroom.

''"Sigh, I am officially the worst sister ever." ''

The episode ended with Lucy crying in regrets as her brother stopped trusting her forever.

Lucy: What a miserable story. I feel dirty after reading that.

Lana: Same. And I usually like feeling dirty, but... not like this.

Lincoln: Hold on a second. Take a look at the plot summary; I think we missed something.

(A parody of the infamous Hey Arnold episode)

Luna: Never heard of it, but if it's anything like what we just read, I think I'll pass on it.

Lola: Agreed.

[The five of them start to disperse.]

Lana: I wonder if it's anything like "Yo, Miguel!"?
