Me: And I’ve seen you do some really cool things. Remember that time you tried to throw a sophisticated party, but your friends hated it and left, and then you decided to join our party upstairs?

Lori: Oh yeah, that was pretty fun.

(Cuts to a flashback of Party Down)

Lincoln: "Hey, guys.

Me: Look who's joining the party."

(The other sisters cheer. Lisa, experiencing a sugar rush, runs up to us.)

Lisa: (hyperactive) "Can I offer you a chocolate covered gelatinous confectionary, street name: marshmallow?"

Lucy: "Lori, come join our séance. We just discovered that Walt's ancestor is a pterodactyl."

Luan: (as Mr. Coconuts) "And my ancestor's a coffee table."

(They laugh)

Luna: (brings Lori to the mic) "Dudeage! Come sing a duet with me."

Lori: "No, no. You know I'm not a good singer."

Luna: "Come on. I'm doing your fave." (singing) "♫Ooh, girl, give you the♫"

(Lori joins in)

Lori and Luna: "♫Ooh, girl, world girl, give you the, ooh, girl, world girl!♫"

Lynn: (bounces past Lori) "Coming through!"

Lola: (bouncing as well) "I'm gonna beat you!"

Lori: "I'm gonna beat both of you!" (grabs a bouncer and starts bouncing with the crowd cheering; catches up and crosses the finish line made out of toilet paper.) "And the new bouncy ball champion is Lori Loud!" (dunks herself with the chocolate fountain. Cuts back to the present. Me and Lori are laughing.)

Me: I still can’t believe you dunked an entire chocolate fountain on yourself!

Lori: Neither can I, but I did!

Me: Remember that time you tried moving in the garage?

Lori: Ugh, I wish I could forget that. Hey, you want to know something? It was so scary in there I could barely sleep.

Me: No way. Really?

(Cuts to a flashback of Garage Banned)

Lori: (tired) "Ah, finally, bedtime." (turns off the light and finds it to be really dark and scary; frightened.) "It's darker out here than I thought."

(The wind howls, branches thump against the garage, Mr. Grouse bales up the leaves and throws a squirrel at Lori's window, and Lori gets so scared she backs up into the button that opens the door for the garage door, causing her pictures to fall off and screams. She closes it and grabs a rake, shaking in fear. Cuts back to the present.)

Me: Wow, I never realized how scary your garage was.

Lori: I know, right.

Me: Oh, remember that time you got that job at Gus’s games and grub?

Lori: Oh yeah, so I could get that dress for my prom.

Me: That was probably the nicest I’ve ever seen you before.

(Cuts to the Waiting Game.)

Lori: "Hi, Boys."

Clyde: "L-L-L-Lori?" (gets a nosebleed and faints)

Lincoln: (downtrodden) "Hey, Lori."

Me: (also downtrodden) Oh, hey Lori.

Lori: "Thanks for telling me about the job opening here. Guess what? I literally got hired! Now I can buy a new dress for the big dance this Friday! The theme is "Romance Under the Sea", and Bobby and I are the Sea King and Queen. It's gonna be the greatest night ever!"

Lori's Boss: (off-screen) "Loud! Back to work! If you got time to lean, you got time to clean!"

Lori: (rushes over) "Coming!" (goes back to us) "Oh, I almost forgot. Employees get free tokens every shift. You guys can have mine." (gives Lincoln and I her tokens and leaves as Clyde comes to.)

Lincoln: (more optimistic) "Thanks!

Me: Lincoln, I’ve gotta say. This new job has changed Lori. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this happy or nice before.

Lincoln: I know. Me either.

(Cuts back to the present. Lori has a smile on her face.)

Lori: (sighs contentedly) Thank you, Nolan for helping me realize there’s more to me than just an older sibling. Now, I’m starting to not feel so insecure anymore.

Me: Don’t mention it. We older siblings have to stick together.

Lincoln: Y' know? Those were pretty fun times we've had with Lori.

Lynn: Yeah. I gotta admit she did rock at that bouncing race.

Lucy: And that was pretty funny when she dumped that chocolate fountain on her head.

[Lori smiles. Leni is still quiet.]

Lori: (sighs contentedly) Thank you, Nolan for helping me realize there’s more to me than just an older sibling. Now, I’m starting to not feel so insecure anymore.

Me: Don’t mention it. We older siblings have to stick together.

Lori: Yes we do. (kisses my cheek)

Everyone: Ewww!

Me: (getting up) So… seeing as we have nothing better to do, wanna go play some video games?

Lori: You know it.

Lincoln: And that's it... [awkwardly] so uh... how was that?
