Funny Love,  a story by LoudFanWolf.

"Derk, do you think I'm ugly?"

''Derek was shocked. "No, of course I don't, Lulu. Why would you ask such a thing?"''

"Because the people at the open mic night did. Didn't you hear them? 'BOO, GET OFF THE STAGE, YOU UNFUNNY, UGLY, BRACED, BUCK-TOOTHED B-"

''Derek quickly put his hand over Luans mouth to stop her from finishing her sentence. "Don't finish that sentence because it isn't true at all."''

"But it is!"

''"No, it isnt Lulu. Look at me." Derek put his hand under Luans chin so that her red, puffy eyes look into his loving blue ones.''

''"You are not ugly, not to your family, not to your friends, and especially not to me. In fact, I think that you, Luan Loud, are gemmeous, you are like a gem, you are as beautiful as a gem to me. Not to mention the fact that you are one of the funniest people I have ever met." Derek said, his voice filled with love and honesty.''

''Luans mouth started quiver into a sad smile. "Really? Am I really that beautiful to you?"''

''"Would I ever lie to you?" Derek asked with a smile.''

''With that, Luan giggled for the first time in a while. She wiped her tears off her eyes and face as she and Derek sat up on her bed. Luan hugged her best friend/'brother,' and Derek hugged her back, glad that his best friend/'sister' was feeling better.''

Luan broke the hug, looked at Derek and said "Thanks, Derk, thank you for reminding me that I'm beautiful."

"Heh, anything for you, Lu-" Derek's reply was interrupted by Luan suddenly kissing him on the lips!

''So many thoughts went through Dereks head as he and Luan shared their 5 second kiss. 'Oh my God, Luan is kissing me! Oh my God, Luan likes me! Do I like her back?! Oh my God, my first kiss is with Luan Loud! This is so exciting!'''

''Luan broke the kiss, got up, said "thanks again, Derk!" And happily ran out of the room, leaving a dumbfounded Derek Gabriel behind, feeling his lips with his fingers.''

Luan was laying on her bunk, staring at the ceiling and feeling conflicted. It had been a couple days since Luan had kissed Derek in a fit of passion after he had comforted her by telling her that she was beautiful, and although she was happy that she did it, Luan was still conflicted as to whether she meant to kiss Derek or not.

'I mean, he did make me feel a whole lot better after I bombed at that open mic night and the people in the audience said all those awful things to me,' Luan thought. 'He did tell me I was beautiful, as beauitful as a gem! Not to mention he's an amazing cuddler!" Luan blushed as she thought about Derek's strong arms being wrapped around her in a warm embrace.

Suddenly, two little Luans appeared on either side of her, one was happy, the other serious. "No, Luan,'" the serious Luan on the right said. 'You just kissed him as a showing of thanks."

"Then why kiss him on the mouth? Usually, a kiss of thanks is a kiss on the cheek," said the happy Luan on the left.

"You just missed the target that's all," Right Luan said..

"But Derek is sooo amazing, he's a great singer, has a huge heart, and he's pretty funny, not to mention the fact that he has great taste when it comes to comedy movies." Left Luan said, gushing over Derek.

"Not to mention the fact that he's pretty much already like a brother to you!" Right Luan yelled.

"Oh, so what? Feelings can change!" Left Luan shouted, becoming more serious.

"It would feel wrong!" Right Luna yelled.

"It would feel lovely!" Left Luan yelled back.

"What would your family say? They would hate to have TWO people to deal with on April Fools Day." Right Luan reasoned.

"Oh, please, as if a nice guy like Derek would want to step up to your level when it came to pranking your family." Left Luan snapped back.

"But that's just it, you become a whole different person once a year; do you think Derek will be able to deal with that?" Right Luan asked sternly.

"Hey, you knwo what? You're right!" Left Luna said to Right Luan.

The two little Luans morphed into a single little Luan who stared sternly at her giant self.

"Besides, you two have a only a few things in common: you like the same comedians, you like the same kind of jokes, and you like the same comedy movies, that's it! You don't love and appreciate music as much as Derek does!"

"I can learn to do that!" Normal, big Luan replied to her smaller self.

"Pfft, please," the smaller Luan sneered "the only music you listen to is Weird Al."

"Derek likes Weird Al!"

"Yep, and he also likes The Beatles, AC/DC, Nirvana, Green Day, BuckCherry, pretty much any 90s-early 2000s rock artist/band etc. How can you measure up to that?"

"I can try to measure up to that!"

"Really? And then you'll just be purposefully changing yourself for some boy!"

"But......UUUUGGGGGGGH!!!!" Normal Luan growled as her sister, Luna, came into the bedroom.

"Hey, sis, what's up with you?" Luna asked, concerned about her sisters outburst.

Luan about to ask her sister for advice when her smaller, imaginary self spoke up.

"Don't ask her for advice, she is a relationship with a person who actually likes almost everything she does."

Normal Luan turned to look at Luna and said "Oh, nothing, sis, just thinking, that's all."

"Okay, well, what about? Maybe I can help?" Luna suggested, wanting help her sister with the problem that was clearly bugging her.

"Well..." Luan started before her smaller, imaginary self spoke up.

"What did I just tell you?!" Smaller Luan shouted.

"SHUT UP, ME!" Normal Luan snapped, and then the smaller Luan dissappeared in a tiny puff of smoke.

"What?" Luna asked, confused as to why her sister just yelled "shut up" to no one in particular..

Luan turned to look at her music loving sister/roommate again. "Oh, sorry, it's just that I've got a problem. And it's a kind of problem that I've never had before."

"Well, what is it, Lu? If it's a new problem for you, maybe it's an old one for me." Luna said, sitting down next to her comedienne sister.

"Well, you see, the problem has to do with...love." Luan admitted.

"AWESOME, BRAH!!!" Luna shouted, happy that her sister had finally found somebody to love. Luan covered her sister's mouth and shushed her, and then made that sure no one had heard her, before letting Luna continue.

"That's awesome, Lu! I'm so happy for you!" Luna whisper-yelled to her sister happily, before relaxing and asking "so, who is the lucky guy?"

Luan looked down and twiddled her thumbs before saying "See, here's the thing...it's Derk."
