Story

[Linka gets the mail and digs through it until she discovers something in it]

Linka: *gasps and runs inside* "Emergency sibling meeting! I call an emergency sibling meeting!"

[The brothers arrive in Loki and Loni's room slightly annoyed]

Lane: "Come on! I was working on a joke."

[Loki lifts up his shoe and bangs it]

Loki: "I hereby call this meeting to order. Levi, can you read the minutes from the last meeting?"

Levi: *reading* "Item 1: It was resolved that in the matter of Leon’s diaper pail-"

Linka: *takes the document of the previous meeting's minutes and crumples it up* "Forget that! We need to discuss..." *takes out what she found in the mail* "... this! It's a love letter, and it's addressed to L. Loud."

[The brothers gasp.]

Leif: *coughs* "Oh, dang it. I just swallowed my gum."

[Loki takes the letter out and starts reading it.]

Loki: "Dear L. Loud, Day after day, I hope and I pine, I'm too shy to come forward, but I wish you were mine. Signed, your secret admirer?"

Lynn: "W-w-wait! Who's it for? L. Loud could be any one of us."

Loki: "Clearly, the letter's for me, and it's from Bebe. I mean, duh, right?"

Lane: "No, not duh! That letter could be for any of us!"

[A series of flashback begin with various times Loki’s siblings have come across someone they happen to like. First, Lane is practicing his pantomime at school when a girl mime bumps into his box, he’s trapped in. The two act it out. Next up, Leif is working in a repair garage with a mechanic girl. Leif looks in his toolbox for a wrench, but can't seem to find one. The girl then gives him her wrench. Afterwards, the flashback changes to Loni at the mall trying to decide between two matching sweaters, one pink and one purple and having trouble choosing. Chloe clears her throat to get his attention and shows him a sweater with purple and pink stripes, which Loni loves. Cut to Lexx performing a baton twirling routine in a pageant. One judge gives it a 9, another gives it an 8, and another gives it another 9. One girl though, about Lexx’s age, gives it a 10. Lexx blushes and smiles. The scene changes to Lars attending Embalm Con and looking at the booth for R.I. Petra’s Coffins & Urns. Lucy sees and gasps at the sight of such an amazingly crafted coffin. A fellow goth girl looks to admire it with him. Flashback switches to Linka and Clare playing at the air hockey table. Linka wins and a boy playing video games turns and gives her a thumbs up and wink for her victory, making the white-haired Loud blush. Levi’s flashback took place in Mr. Shrinivas's class, Levi is mixing chemicals which explode. A fellow genius around his age wipes his lenses clean to his honor. The next takes place on a the baseball field, where Lynn's team and another team are giving their regards for a good game. He stops to see one girl on the opposite team spit in her hand. He then spits in his hand and the two of them shake. Now, Luke is rocking out in the cafeteria in school and turns to another guitarist along with a friend of hers. Luke’s friends throw up the horns as she rocks on. Finally, Leon’s is taking a nap in his crib when his teddy bear falls on him. He gives it a hug. After that, the flashbacks end.]

Leon, Lexx, Leif, Lynn, Lane, Luke, and Loni: *loving sigh*

Lars: "Sigh... ~"

Loki: "Okay, we all want the letter to be for us. How do we figure out who it's really for?"

Lars: "Simple. Since the writer is clearly shy, we each need to send a signal to the person we think wrote it, letting them know we're interested. Then they'll probably send a second letter, giving us more information."

Loki: *confused* "Um... how do you know all this?"

Lars: *holds up a book called "Immortal Secrets"* "Vampires send a lot of secret admirer letters. They may be passionate, but they're also painfully insecure."

Loki: "Sending a signal it is!" [At the cemetery at night, the girl Lars met is sitting on the stone wall]

Susie: "Sigh."

[Lars suddenly appears right next to her and she slips and falls upon his appearance]

Lars: "Ah, the futility of life. Am I right, Susie?"

[Susie groans in pain. Cut to the mall where Chloe is putting mannequins in the display window. Loni acts like a mannequin until Chloe comes to put him on display]

Loni: "Hi."

[Chloe flails and crashes into the mannequins; Loni winks at her. Switch to Mr. Shrinivas's classroom where all the kids are taking their naps. A shadow looms over the girl Levi likes, and it happens to be Levi himself.]

Levi: "Based upon the fluttering of your gorgeous eyelids, you must have had quite a REM cycle."

[The girl falls out of her cot in a fright and Levi winks at her. At Lynn's next game, he throws the ball at the girl he likes, who is batting, right into his arm and then winks at her. At the arcade, the boy Linka likes is playing Dance Battle]

Linka: "Nice moves, Paul!" *doesn't seem get his attention* "I said, nice move-"

[Paul suddenly and unknowingly kicks her, hears her crash, did not seem notice where it came from, shrugs it off, and keeps playing. Meanwhile, in Leon’s room, Leon crawls up to his teddy bear, winks at and hugs it.]

[The next meeting]

Loki: "Meeting called to order."

Levi: "I'll begin with the minutes from the last meeting." *reads them* "Item 1: No one would let me read the minutes from the previous meeting, so-"

Lexx: *snatches the minutes* "And we still won't!" *crumples them up and tosses them aside* "Now, did everyone send their signals?"

Loki: "I texted Bebe a series of romantic emojis."

Lane: "Yep! I toot-ally sent mine to Betty."

[Flashback to Lane and Betty rehearsing for a school play. He slips a whoopee cushion onto her throne which she sits on. She blushes and gives Lane an embarrassed grin and he gives her a wink. End of flashback]

Lexx: "I let Winnifred know the score."

[Flashbacks to the playground where Winnifred goes down the slide, but messes up the dismount. Lexx gives her a 10 regardlessly and winks to her. The flashback ends.]

Leif: *wiping his hands* "And I let Sara know I'm game by souping up his ride."

[Flashes back to Sara riding her bike which now has turbo engines on it down a hill while screaming for her life. Leif winks as she goes by. End flashback]

Loki: "Good work, everyone. Now, we just have to wait for-"

[Enter Luke with the next letter]

Luke: "Dudes! The second letter! You called it, Larsy Change!"

[Lars shrugs off what Luke called him. Loki opens it up and finds a rose falling out of it in slow motion; His siblings gasp.]

Leif: *coughs* "Dang it, there goes my gum again!"

Loki: "Okay." *reads the letter* "Roses are red, they brighten our town, like your sweet smile, and your hair, which is..." *beat; upset* "... brown?"

[The brunettes are surprised while the others are disappointed.]

Linka, Loni, Lars, Lexx, and Leif: "Aw, dang it!"

Leon: *just as upset* "Ah, poo-poo."

Loki: *angrily texting* "I have some different emojis for Bebe now!"

Linka: "So, the secret admirer contest is down to Luke, Lane, Lynn, and Levi."

[Luke, Lynn and Levi cheer, but Luke for some reason doesn't.]

Loni: "Luke, why aren't you cheering?"

Lane: "Yeah. And come to think of it, you never told us the signal you gave Sam."

Luke: *miserable* "That's 'cause I didn't give one. The more I thought about it, the more I realized... Sam's way out of my league, dudes."

[The others disagree and encourage him.] Linka: "No way. That's not true."

Loki: "Yeah, Luna, you are totes still in this. Okay, Lars, what's the next step?"

[Lars cheeks his book]

Lars: "Well, since the secret admirer sent a rose as a token of their affection, we need to deliver a token in return. Then there should be a third and final love letter requesting a rendezvous."

[The brunettes start cheering]

Luke: "Rockin'!"

Lane: "This is so exciting!"

Lynn: "I hope it's me!"

Levi: "Me too!"

Lexx: *wearing a large brunette wig* "Me three!"

Leif: *takes Lexx’s wig off him* "Nice try, Blondie."

[Lexx yields.]

[Levi gives the girl he has a crush on a box with a note]

Levi: "For you."

[The girl takes it and reads the note]

Diana: "Your flowers and poem were a decent start, my token for you is a beating heart." *opens the box to see that there really is a beating heart in there*

Levi: "It's from a pig in the biology lab."

[Diana screams and runs away]

Levi: "Eh. Guess she's more of a chemistry gal."

[Meanwhile, at the middle school, Lynn is getting ready to show his feelings towards his crush]

Lynn: "Because I think you really rock, I give to you my lucky jock." *fires his jock at her which lands on her face and blinds her] "He shoots, he scores!" *sees her fall into a trash can* "Oops. Flag on the play." *chuckles nervously*

[Meanwhile, in the auditorium, Lane walks up to Betty, who's working on the set for the play]

Lane: "It's true that I do a whole lot of Joking', but I have feelings too, and this pie is a token." *takes out pie and hits Betty with it*

[Betty, blinded by the pie's cream, stumbles into the stage backdrop and gets buried under it]

Lane: *getting a glare from Betty* "I guess you really fell hard for me!" *laughs* "Get it? Ooh!" *serious* "Stop it, Lane. We're trying to find love here!"

[Meanwhile, at the high school, Lane is waiting for Sam on the bus.]

Luke: *sighs and practices* "Roses are red, Marge Swagger is sick, my token for you is my favorite pick." [Sam and the other music lovers pass by Luke, who unfortunately was too shy to give Sam his pick] Luke: *sighs* "Dream on, Lues. You're the owner of a lonely heart." [In the living room, another meeting is being held.]

Loki: "Okay, brown-haired Louds, did everybody deliver their tokens?"

Lynn: "Check!"

Lane: "You betcha!"

Levi: "Affirmative!"

[They turn to see Luke look sad.]

Luke: "I bailed, dudes. I'm telling you, there's no way Sam digs me."

Lexx: *grabs Luke’s shirt collar* "Some of us blondes would kill to still be in the running! *Luke looks scared* Don't you quit now!"

[Loni screams with glee.]

Loni: "O-M-Gosh, you guys! The secret admirer is the mail-woman!" *takes out another love letter* "She just handed me this letter! But I don't feel the same way about her, so I let her down gently."

[Everyone looks at Leni astonishingly for a moment. Loki takes the next letter and opens it.]

Loki: *reading* "Dear L. Loud, Here's a third letter, 'cause I'm still feeling skittish, I dig your sweet sounds, and love of all things British."

[Everyone gasps at the sound of it, especially Luke]

Linka: "Luke! It's definitely you!"

Loki: "Guys, Lars was right about what happens next! Listen!" *continues reading* "I think it's time we put love on the menu" *pauses* "Aw." *continues* "Meet me tonight at Banger's & Mosh, the British eatery and rock venue."

Luke: *surprised* "Whoa! This is really happening! What do I wear?"

[His siblings cheer and carry him upstairs, all except Loni]

Loni: "I'll be right there! I-I just wanna make sure the mail-woman is okay."

[At Banger's & Mosh, the kids are looking around for Sam.]

Luke: "Guys, I don't see Sam anywhere."

Leif: "Maybe Sam's hidden behind that dork in the big British hat."

Lynn: "Whoa! That dork is sitting with Dad!" *realizes* "Oh, It's Mom."

[The kids approach their parents.]

Lynn Sr.: "Kids? What're you guys doing here?"

Linka: "Luke got a secret admirer letter from Sam telling him to meet here."

Leif: "We're here for moral support."

Lexx: "And dessert."

Randy: "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. There's been a mix-up. That letter was meant for your mother."

Leni: "Wait. Sam likes Dad?"

Randy: "No, sweetie. I sent the letter."

Lynn Sr.: "Secret admirer letters are kind of our thing. It's how we met."

Randy: "Back in the day, I had a wicked crush on your mother."

[Once again, a flashback occurs, It was the day Randy and Lynn Sr. first met.]

Randy: *narrating* "Every morning, at my crossing guard job, I'd listen for her melodious voice." *British accent* "And when she talked to me in that cute accent-" *normal voice* "-she picked up from his semester in England, I'd swoon."

Young Lynn Sr.: *British accent* "Ello, love! Pip-pip! Mind the gap!"

[Young Randy sighs with admiration. Just then, some cars come by wanting to cross and Randy quickly picks up his stop sign he dropped from admiring his future wife.]

Randy: "But I was too afraid to speak to her because I thought she was out of my league. So, I started slipping notes in her pocket as she passed by."

[Young Randy puts a note in her pocket as she plays the cowbell.]

Lynn Sr.: *playing and unaware of the note; scats* "♫Crossing♫"

[Young Randy drops; Cut to Banger's & Mosh]

Randy: "By my third note, I got up the nerve to ask her to meet me here."

[Young Lynn Sr. arrives with the note and Young Randy holds up his stop sign and flips it over with a "signal" saying "Go". Lynn Sr. sits down with her new love. The flashback ends with the two of them in the same position they were from the days of old.]

Randy: "And my boldness paid off, because here we are, celebrating the 20th anniversary of that first date."

Lynn Sr.: "Best day of my life, love."

[Randy drops and giggles upon hearing that accent; his wife kisses his cheek.]

Randy: "Luke, I'm sorry that letter wasn't for you. I hope you're not too disappointed."

Luke: "Well... I was at first, but now that I've heard your story, I'm totally inspired. If you took a risk with Mom, why can't I take a risk with Sam?" *turns to his siblings* "Why are we sitting around waiting for them to come to us? We should go to them!"

[His siblings cheer in agreement.]

Lynn Sr.: "This is cause for celebration! MEAT PIES FOR EVERYONE!"

[The other restaurant attendants cheer, thinking she's buying for all]

Lynn Sr.: "Uh, I-I meant just for my family."

[The attendants groan in disappointment.]

Lynn Sr.: "Oh, come on! There's 13 of us!"

[Cut to a montage of the kids sneaking love notes to their crushes. Linka gives one to Paul while he’s playing Dance Battle. Lynn sneaks one under Frances’s helmet. Sara gets one in her toolbox. Leif smiles with his finger near his mouth because it was from him. Betty finds one on the stage floor and tries to pick it up, but it gets pulled away. As she gleefully chases after it, it's revealed to be from Lane who's using a fishing rod to tease her. Levi lures himself down on grappling wires and sneaks one under Diana’s microscope, which she finds to her joy. Chloe finds one in a pair of jeans for sale and Loni smiles disguised as a mannequin again. Lars slips one into a coffin that Susie is resting in. Susie rises out of the coffin and smiles. Winnifred finds one in the sandbox and admires it. Lexx looks lovingly at her response. Leon gives to his teddy bear a drawing of the two of them and hugs it again. At the High School, Luke takes a deep breath and slips his note into Sam's locker and bolts. The musicians pass by and, to the audience’s surprise, Sam happens to be a guy stopping at the same locker while his friends walk off]

Male Musician: "See you later, Sam."

Sam: "Okay, see ya!"

[Sam opens his locker and the note falls out. He then picks it up, reads it, and smiles satisfyingly at it. Luke, hiding in the corner and having seen it all, smiles, too, knowing that he may have a chance with Sam after all.]

Trivia 


 * In the last Genderbent reenactment that include a fellings forum, I got a lot of compliments about the loud brothers taking about there feelings. Well, I feel that there should be more inclusive groups, even if that means breaking the gender stereotype.
 * Tip; Some people, (myself include), are too shy to ask someone out. If that someone likes them back, maybe it is best if they could be the ones that would ask them out.
