Lincoln was coming home late looking frustrated and messy. His sisters who were on the couch watching Dream Boat noticed him.

Lynn: What happened to you, bro? It’s almost curfew.

Lincoln: I got turned around heading to the comic book store with Clyde. Took me hours to find my way back here.

(Flashback to Lincoln and Clyde up close to their faces.)

Clyde: Um Lincoln, I don’t think this is the same street.

Lincoln: How can you tell?

It zoomed out to show they were an industrial area.

Clyde: I’m pretty sure these factories weren’t in eye shot of the comic store the last I checked.

Then one random guy walked by and sees them.

Man: Hey boys, you need directions?

Lincoln and Clyde: Nah!

They then walk away from him.

(End flashback)

Lori: So you got lost?

Lincoln: (Defensive) No! I just…...

Luan: Well you are lost for words. Ha-ha-ha! Get it?

Leni: Also that guy offered you help so why didn’t you let him? That was just a stupid thing to do.

Lisa: And that’s Leni saying that.

Lincoln: Hey! You don’t know anything of what happened!

Lola: We do know you act like any boy does in that situation. Just too manly to admit you were lost or take others help when one should have.

Lincoln: What?! That’s just offensive of you.

Lori: You boys have so many predictable tropes and cliches that it’s laughable.

Lisa gets a list out.

Lisa: To keep it short: Having more flatulence, not caring who smells it, being messy with their room, making a big deal of body hair, neglecting female help and of course never wanting to admit that females are right about anything which you are doing right now.

Lincoln: Oh you think you girls are far superior? You fight over silly reasons.

Lucy: That’s what the sister-fight protocol is for. We can control our habits better.

Lincoln: (Groan) Forget it!

Lincoln just walks upstairs to his room more frustrated than before.

Luna: Just can’t handle the truth, can he?

The next day, Kevin came to the Loud house and sees the girls having breakfast.

Kevin: Ladies, have you seen Lincoln? We scheduled a “playdate” as you would call it in about 12.51 minutes.

Leni: Not really. I think he’s still in his room.

Lola: Probably not wanting to admit we were right about how he got lost.

Kevin: I was informed about that. Hopefully I can help him from getting turned around again the next time. Also we both need to get our heads off of what happened at school the other day.

Lucy: You go to school?

Kevin: We all need to at our age. I use to be home-schooled but that didn’t help my social issues.

Luna: What did happen at school?

Kevin: It started with some girls arguing over who was the prettiest one in class. Then it kept getting worse until it got violent.

Lynn: Well that was stupid.

Kevin: Indeed. I mean being pretty is a matter of perspective so asking the boys in the room didn’t solve anything. They had their own definition of pretty. Anyway, I am going to check on Lincoln. Excuse me.

Kevin heads upstairs to Lincoln’s room. The girls then looked at each other.

Lori: That was stupid. Why would the girls in their class fight about something like that?

Lola: I think some just wanted to get more attention. I mean I get it for being more pretty around here.

Lana: Meh!

Lola: Meh? What is that suppose to mean?

Leni: I’m sure we're all pretty in our own way. None of us really outshine the other.

Lola: Well saying that I not sure you guys are trying to. I mean you make a big deal of your appearance.

Leni: I’m into fashion so it’s natural. I’m not saying I’m prettier or your prettier.

Lola: Oh! Trying to take the high road are we?

Leni: I’m pretty sure I’m sitting right now. I’m not walking.

Luna: Guys, cool it! Let’s just go on with our day.

Lola pouts and sits back down. When they were finished eating, Lynn was in her bed bouncing a ball on the wall in thought.

Lynn: (thinking) Yesh! Why do some girls have to make a big deal about their appearance to others. I never cared about mine. I’m all into being the ultimate athlete. I know boys are into a girl that can do awesome stuff.

But then she stopped throwing her ball with a concerned look on her face.

Lynn: (thinking) Wait, what if some of them aren’t? What if Francisco isn’t into that? I mean I know he likes me in baseball but…...what if he is into pretty girls more? He might be drawn to any of them. Even my other sis…...No! I can’t think that!

She then looks to her dresser.

Lynn: But to be safe…..

Later, Lynn was in the bathroom in her sport style dress she wore at a dance once as was putting on some make up.

Lynn: There, not too much but enough to be noticed. Now I just need to…..

When she turned around she runs into Lucy surprising her. Lucy was wearing a gothic lolita dress.

Lucy: What are you doing? You never wanna wear a dress or make up.

Lynn: I’m just…..seeing if….umm…..well are you doing in that dress? You only wear that when you really want attention outside your gothic clubs.

Lucy: Don’t change the subject!

Lynn: Sounds like you are!

Then Lori came in.

Lori: What are you two arguing about now?

Then Lola stormed in.

Lola: I knew it! Now you're trying to be prettier than me!

Lynn and Lucy: Now I’m not!

Lola: Well fat chance cause you two freaks can never come near to my beauty.

Lori: Wow, Lola! Paranoid much?

Lola: (Raised an eyebrow) You're wearing the makeup you only were for Bobby.

Lori: (Blushed) I….just thought I’d try wearing it again. Is that a crime?

Then Leni comes in.

Leni: Guys, let’s not make a big deal about this. We’re all pretty in our own way. Nothing more.

Lori: You know, I think I see what Lola saw earlier about you saying something like that.

Leni: What? You saw the road too?

Meanwhile in Luna and Luan’s room, Luna was brushing her hair with Luan’s table mirror. Then Luan came in carrying something she try to hide.

Luan: What are you doing?

Luna: Well I was thinking what if Sam doesn’t like this do of mine? I was thinking more of a…..I don’t know.

Luan: Oh that’s…..nice.

She was trying to hide something but Luna noticed.

Luna: What is that you have?

Luan: Nothing!

Luan drops it and Luan sees it was beauty products.

Luna: Since when did you get any products outside clown makeup?

Luan did not know how to answer.

Meanwhile outside Lola and Lana’s room, Lana came came out with her hair redone in the way she had it when trying to betray Lola in that pageant to win Dairyland tickets. Then she bumped into Lisa coming out of her her room with her hair also cleaned up and wearing a clean lab coat.

Lana: Whoa! What’s with your hair so clean all of a sudden?

Lisa: I would ask you the same, my filthy sibling.

Lana: I just thought I’d try this do again while still being like myself.

Lisa: Same here.

Lana: But when do you wear that lab coat?

Lisa: Thought I’d give it a rest with the baggy clothes and look more scientific.

Then they noticed Lynn, Lucy, Lori, Leni and Lola arguing in the hall and went to see what was going on. Luna and Luan als joined them.

Luna: Dudes, what’s this about?

Leni: These girls think we’re trying to be prettier than them.

Lori: Well I’m starting to think that with everybody else. They are all getting dolled up all of a sudden.

Leni: Why would we try to be prettier than you?

Lori: Well I naturally shine since I’m the oldest so you're desperately….!

Lola: Like a old bag like you can get anyone’s attention anymore. I bet soon Bobby will see that.

Lori: (Furious) What did you say?!

Leni: Lola, stop it!

Lola: No, you stop being the all high and mighty. Acting like it doesn’t matter while wearing your pretty excuses for dresses.

Leni: (gasped) I’ll have you know I put this together myself!

Luan: It shows because it’s looks so raggedy, Ann! Hahaha!

Lucy: Like you wear anything better? Those flowers and clown shows.

Lynn: At least she is not trying to capitalise on a popular subculture. I can’t even tell if you are really goth anymore.

Lucy: (Gasp) That’s the meanest thing you ever said to me!

Lana: I can think of worse.

Lola: Doubtful! You always try to be the tomboy to stand out from us like that’s what people want!

Lana: It’s not! Although I do get that feeling from from Luna with her rock and stuff.

Luna: Freeze Frame! You think I do this just to get noticed? I mean for Nick Swagger maybe but….

Lisa: So it is to get someone’s attention. Luckily I don’t need to do that since people like a smart type.

Lori: Smart ass more like it. You look down on them and isolate yourself.

Lisa: Well..

Before Lisa could say anything, they see Lily crawling up with a bow in her and a pretty dress on.

Lola: Oh! Even the youngest is showing off!

Lily: (looking innocent) Pwetty?

Soon enough the girls were all arguing and saying harsh words about their appearance. This lead to an all out brawl with then tearing their clothes and pulling their hair like savages. This fight found it’s way downstairs and out the door to the front yard. This went on for minutes till a flash of light made them stop. They look up to see Lincoln and Kevin who was holding a digital camera.

Kevin: Look at all of you now.

He shows the picture of them fighting and they were mortified.

Leni: Is that really us?

Luan: What were we doing?

Lincoln: You were fighting over who was the prettiest in the house.

Sisters: No we….!

Then they remembered what happened and blushes embarrassed as he was right.

Lynn: Whoa! What came over us?

Lana: I’m pretty sure Lola started it.

Lola: Only cause Kevin brought up the thing that happened in his class.

Kevin: Yeah about that. I made that up to plant the thought in your head of rather or not you were considered pretty. I knew just like most women would, you would naturally try to stand out in your own definition of beauty over the others.

Sisters: What!?

Lola: Whoa! I thought I was manipulative!

Lori: Why would you do that?

Kevin: 1. It was funny and 2. To teach you something. Lincoln told me about you were being high and mighty thinking all girls are far superior to us boys. But it’s not like you girls don’t have natural flaws that you can’t control. When it comes to gender, age, race and so on there are types are types who are better at somethings than others but there is no group who are perfect in every way.

The sisters was absorbing all he said.

Lana: Whoa! That hits us hard.

Lisa: I mean there are silly things boys do but that doesn’t mean we're any better.

Lori: Ok we see your point. We should not be acting like we're better than boys.

Lincoln: (smiles) That’s all I wanted.

He then goes to hug his sisters.

Kevin smiled and walked away proud of his plan. He also looked at them to feel jealous of Lincoln having such a good if flawed family. He sighed and kept walking.
