User blog:American Titan/AT's Famous FanFicks 2: "OH, LOOO!"

My second fanfic. A big tip of the hat to cartoonist Aaron Springer for the inspiration, and to producers Stuart Hill & Craig "Sven" Gordon for introducing me to Aaron Springer's best cartoon character.




 * Pop-Pop is seen driving up to the Loud household, home to his son, his daughter-in-law, and his 11 grandchildren. It’s a sunny Tuesday morning, and with winter approaching, he wants to make the most of today’s beautiful weather. He drives up to the house in hopes that his grandchildren will join him as he tours the forested mountains to the east of Royal Woods in a relaxing cable car ride. He has his camera ready and loaded with film, in hopes that he gets to take a memorable picture during his ride. After he pulls into the driveway, he gets out of the car and happily walks towards the door, politely ringing the doorbell just once. His son answers the door and greets him.*

Lynn Sr: Dad!

Pop-Pop: Sonny boy!


 * They both exchange a quick, friendly hug. Rita sees Pop-Pop at the door.*

Rita: How’s everything going, Joe?

Pop-Pop: It’s going well, going well. 
 * steps into the house* Say, you wouldn’t know where I can find my grandkids, would you?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Pop-Pop: Got it.

So I suggest that you save the picture-taking for when we get to the mountains, OK?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Leni: Gotcha!

 * Leni slowly opens her eyes and softly yawns while stretching her arms out before opening her eye completely. When she sees where she is, her mouth drops open. Pop-Pop just paid an entrance fee, and they are entering the mountainous state park. The road that leads up to the parking lot is very scenic, and full of beautiful wildlife. Deer peacefully eating leaves, rabbits, robins, beavers in a slow, calm stream, and plenty of squirrels gathering nuts for the winter. Leni presses her face up against the car mirror with her mouth open in amazement.*
