Alternate ending:

Lincoln: Sorry, Lucy, but you have to tell everybody. They still think I did it!

Lucy: But they'll tease me even worse than they tease you! You can probably handle that, but I can't!

Lincoln: I'm about to miss the convention! Either you tell them, or I will!

Lucy: (admitting defeat) Sigh...I'll tell them...

(They head into the living room where everyone else is)

Lucy: Excuse me...I have something to say... (gets their attention and reveals the book) This is what totaled the toilet.

Lisa: Princess Pony?!

(All the sisters, sans Leni and Luna, begin to laugh)

Lynn: Which one of you lame-o's does that belong to?

Lisa: Certainly not me! It's so sickeningly sweet I get a toothache just looking at it!

Luan: Whoever that belongs to is gonna be the laughing stock of this house!

Lori: Yeah! They are literally worse than Lincoln! And he wears his underwear on the outside!

(The other sisters laugh some more and Lucy knows she has to face the music; Lincoln notices Lucy's pain and feels bad for her)

Lucy: Actually...the book belongs to-

Lincoln: Me!

Sisters: (flabbergasted) YOU?!

Luna: Bro! Why didn't you say so before?!

Lincoln: I didn't want to tell you because I knew you guys would make fun of me. You guys were acting like real jerks to me when you thought I clogged the toilet, and were making fun of my costume. (looks down) Now it looks like I have to put up with even more.

(Luna and Leni started to feel bad for Lincoln. Lana noticed their looks, and she started to realize how mean she's been)

Lana: (to herself) I'm being such a jerk to my big brother... (looks down)

Lori: (sounding sympathetic) Aw, Lincoln... (now condescending) ...of course, we're gonna make fun of you! But only for the rest of your life!

Luna: (angry) Shut up Lori!

Lori: Excuse me?

Leni: (angry) I'm quite disappointed with all of you! You're gonna make fun of Lincoln just because he clogged the toilet?! What a load of horse dookey!

Lola: Well duh! He even did it with a pony book! That's just humiliating!

Luna: (points at Lola) Like you're the one to talk! I remember the time you said we should accept each other's habits, and now you're all making fun of Lincoln's own habits!

Lola: I know I said that, but come on this is just too funny to not make fun of!

Leni: It's mean!

Lana: (sadly) Leni's right.

Lola: What?!

Lana: (comes up to Lincoln) Lincoln, I'm really sorry I was being mean to you. You wanna dress up like Ace Savvy, you do it, because I know you love it!

Lincoln: (smiles) Thanks Lana. I forgive you.

Lynn: Well whatever! We're still going to make fun of Lincoln!

Luna: (glares) Yeah, and we'll make sure you dudes regret it.

Lincoln: Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go and tell Dad.

(Lincoln walks into the kitchen where Lynn Sr. was)

Lynn Sr.: Lincoln? What's up?

Lincoln: Dad, (sighs) I was the one who clogged the toilet.

Lynn Sr.: It was you? Why didn't you tell me before?

Lincoln: I didn't want the girls to make fun of me.

Lynn Sr.: Thanks for being honest with me son, but I'm still going to have to ground you.

Lincoln: Yes Dad.

Lynn Sr.: Girls! You're no longer grounded!

(The girls celebrate their freedom, and they all leave, except for Leni, Luna, Lucy, and Lana)

Leni: (upset) Aww Linky, now you're going to miss your convention.

Luna: Yeah. But why didn't you just tell us the truth before? You could've just said it then.

Lucy: Look. (looks around) Don't tell anyone, but I was actually the one who clogged the toilet.

Leni, Luna, and Lana: What?!

Lana: But why did Lincoln say he was the one who did it?!

Lucy: Actually, I wanted to know that too. (to Lincoln) Why did you take the blame for me?

Lincoln: Lucy, they would've made fun of you more than they make fun of me. I might not like it so much, but I'm quite comfortable with who I am, obviously. Don't worry, someday, you'll be too. Until then, your big brother's got your back.

Lucy: (smiling and grateful) Thanks, Lincoln.

Leni: Aww, Linky!

Luna: You sure are a great big brother to Lucy.

Lana: And to me too.

(The four sisters give Lincoln a hug)

Lincoln: Thanks guys. Well, guess I better go change into my normal clothes. I don't have to go to the convention anymore. (goes upstairs)

(Sometime later, Luan comes back home from her comedy gig)

Luan: Yes! I got to go to my comedy gig!

Lucy: (appears out of no where) Hope you're happy.

Luan: (screams) Lucy! What's up?

Lucy: Do you think going to your comedy gig was worth it after how you behaved today?

Luan: What?

Lucy: You were making fun of Lincoln.

Luan: Well duh! He clogged the toilet with a Princess Pony book!

Lucy: Could you not see how defensive Leni and Luna were? He's going to be the laughing stock of the whole house. You even said so yourself!

Luan: (gasps) You're right! I WAS being a jerk to Lincoln! (feels bad) What have I done?

Lucy: I think you need to apologize to him.

Luan: Don't worry, I'll do that. (thinks) Who else was making fun of him?

Lucy: Lori, Lynn, Lola, and Lisa.

Luan: Oh really? (smirks) Well I'll be sure to give them their comeuppance.

(Later that night, Lincoln was in his room looking bored. Then, Leni and Luna came in)

Luna: Hey bro! Guess what?

Lincoln: What?

Leni: (pulls out a signed Ace Savvy comic book) We went to the comic book store to get your book signed!

Lincoln: Wow! (takes the comic book) How did you do it?

Luna: We were so proud of you looking out for Lucy, so we had just enough time to go and get it signed.

Lincoln: This is amazing! Thanks guys!

(Lincoln hugs Leni and Luna, then Luan, Lucy, and Lana show up outside his room)

Luan: Hey Linc! You got a minute?

Lincoln: Luan? You're back so soon. What is it?

Luan: I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for making fun of you today. I had no idea what went over me.

Lincoln: It's okay Luan, I'm sure I won't stay mad about this for very long.

Lucy: Did you tell him?

Luan: Oh yeah! I also planned a special surprise for everyone else who made fun of you.

(Sometime later, Lori, Lynn, Lola, and Lisa arrive home)

Lori: Man, what happened today with Lincoln was literally hilarious!

Lynn: Yeah, making fun of him is going to be so priceless!

(They open the door, but then a bucket of toilet water falls on top of them)

Lori: Gah! Gross!

Lola: My dress! My beautiful dress!!

(They notice Lincoln, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lucy, and Lana in front of them)

Luan: I guess trying to make fun of Lincoln, gave you guys an epic "pail"!

(Lincoln and his five sisters laugh, while the other four look annoyed)

The End.
