User blog:AlexKawa/Fanfiction: You Fool!

Hi everyone, Alex here. I'm back with a brand new fanfiction called, "You Fool!" Special thanks to TheMaximumMatt for helping me come up with that title.

Synopsis
On April Fools' Day, the Loud family leaves Luan at her crush, Benny's, house for the weekend while they go out of town to avoid her pranks. As Luan and Benny bond over their shared love of pranks, Luan begins to feel guilty over her years of ruthlessly tormenting her family every April Fools' Day.

Script
[Outside the Loud House, Lincoln and his sisters, minus, Luan and Lily, arrive home from school]

Lynn: [groans] “Man, I can’t wait for this weekend! I’ve had four tests in the last two days!”

Luna: “Yeah, I’m pretty burned out too, dudes.” [notices something] “Yo, where’s Luan?”

Leni: “She’s right—” [points next to her, but sees no one] “Oh, yeah.”

Lori: “I didn’t see her leave with us.”

Lincoln: “Wait, isn’t it late March?”

Lisa: “Yes. March 31, to be exact.”

Lucy: “Oh no. Please tell me that’s an early April Fools’ joke, Lisa.”

Lisa: “I would love to, but I’m afraid I cannot.”

Lana and Lola: [hug each other and scream] “WE’RE DOOMED!!!!!”

Lincoln: “No, we’re not.”

Lori: “Yes, we literally are, Lincoln. We’ve tried everything we possibly could to not fall for Luan’s pranks, but nothing’s worked.”

Lincoln: “Not everything. A couple weeks ago, I talked with Mom and Dad about a new plan to avoid the pranks.”

[Cuts to flashback]

Lincoln: “So, I gave Mick Swagger a call, and he agreed to let us stay at his mansion in Hazeltucky April Fools’ Day weekend. All we have to do now is keep it a secret from the girls.”

Lynn Sr. “But why?”

Lincoln: “Trust me, once Lola gets a hold of something, she blabs it to the rest of the house within an hour. And, of course, we don’t want Luan finding out.”

Rita: “OK, it’s a deal.”

[End flashback]

Lola: “I do NOT spill secrets!” [her siblings look on in disbelief] “Anymore!”

Luna: “Rad plan, Lincoln. Luan will never get us!”

Lincoln: “It gets better. Mom and Dad have arranged for Luan to stay at Benny’s house for the weekend. So, it’s a win for all of us. Luan gets to spend her favorite holiday with her crush, and we get to live it up in Mick Swagger’s mansion for the weekend.”

Lana: “Yeah, why exactly does he own a mansion in Hazeltucky, Michigan, of all places?”

Luna: “Don’t know, don’t care, brah. This weekend’s gonna be rockin’!” [throws up the goats]

Siblings: [throw up the goats] “Rockin’!”

Leni: “But wait, all this still doesn’t explain why Luan didn’t come home with us.”

Luna: “Oh, I remember now. Last night, I caught her saying that she was skipping school today to plan out her pranks for tomorrow.”

Lucy: “Well, you don’t think she heard our entire conversation just now, do you?”

Lori: [looks through the window] “She couldn’t have. She’s not by the door.”

Leni: “But what if she installed a microphone thingy on the porch to eavesdrop on us?”

Lincoln: “Don’t worry. Mom texted me at school today, and she told me her and Dad caught her in her bedroom this morning, and they put a tracking device on her to monitor her every move to make sure she isn’t planning any pranks or stuff like that.”

Lisa: “Sheesh. Whatever happened to protection from unreasonable search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment?”

Lori: “Uh, Lisa, this is Luan we’re talking about. Given her history, I don’t think it’s that unreasonable. And as far as I remember, you put tracking chips inside Mom and Dad. And probably us, too.”

Lisa: “Fair enough. Let’s go inside. [they do so, and Lynn Sr. and Rita immediately take them into their room]

Lynn Sr.: “OK, kids, has Lincoln told you the plan yet?”

[The siblings, sans Lincoln, nod]

Rita: “Excellent. Now, as punishment for skipping school, we’ve sent Luan to afterschool detention.”

Lynn Sr.: “And when it’s over at around 6, Benny’s parents will pick her up, and then, we’re off to Hazeltucky!” [cheers with his wife and kids] “Alright, everyone, go pack for the weekend!”

[The siblings run off to their rooms, cut to 6 PM, in Vanzilla]

Rita: “Alright, Benny’s dad just texted me; Luan’s gotten picked up!”

Lynn Sr.: “We’re ready to go.” [starts driving, cheering with his family]

Lincoln: “Alright, Dad, but just promise us that you’re not in on any of Luan’s shenanigans this time.”

Lynn Sr.: “I promise, son. Don’t you think I’d have learned that after what happened to us last time?”

Lincoln: “I guess so, but I just wanted to be sure.”

[Cut to Benny’s dad, Benny, and Luan in the car]

Luan: “So, why do I need to spend the weekend with you guys, exactly?”

Benny’s dad: “Uh, your family is, uh, going on a cruise in, uh, Alaska, and they, uh, happened to forget to buy you a ticket.” [sheepishly smiles]

Luan: “You know, you’re still getting the hang of this April Fools’ Day thing, so I’ll let that slide.”

[They arrive at Benny’s house]

Luan: “Wow, you guys have a nice house!”

Benny: “Thanks, Luan.” [they head inside, where Benny’s mother has prepared chicken casserole for dinner]

Benny’s mom: “Dinner, everyone!” [cut to the table, where Benny, his parents, his older brother, Kyle, and Luan are sitting] “So, Luan, are you looking forward to your favorite holiday tomorrow?”

Luan: “Yep. I’d be a fool not to!” [laughs, as Benny’s dad nervously joins in]

Benny’s dad: [nervously] “Uh, yeah, I guess I’d better brace myself for tomorrow.”

Luan: [laughs] “Good one! You’re getting it now!” [to Benny’s mom] “Thanks for dinner, by the way. It was delicious!”

Benny’s mom: “You’re very welcome, Luan!” [to Kyle and Benny] “Would you two mind taking Luan up to her guest room?

Kyle: “Sure, Mom.” [goes upstairs with Benny and Luan]

Benny’s mom: “Man, with how sweet Luan acted at dinner, it’s crazy how awful she is on April Fools’ Day.”

Benny’s dad: “Are you crazy? What in the actual what would you agree to invite Luan Loud, the most vicious April Fools’ Day prankster I’ve ever heard of, over to our house this weekend for?”

Benny’s mom: “Well, as far as I’m concerned, you also agreed.”

Benny’s dad: “No! I tried to speak up, but you just kept saying to the Louds, ‘oh, yes, that’s just perfect!’”

Benny’s mom: “Relax! Luan is in love with Benny. She couldn’t possibly act like that in front of him.”

Benny’s dad: “And how do you know for sure?”

Benny’s mom: “Remember the play the two starred in a little while ago? Well, Benny told me about the conversation they had when he almost quit the play, and he told me how honest Luan was with him, and I just don’t think Luan is comfortable enough acting like such a monster in front of him because of that.”

Benny’s dad: “OK, that makes me feel a little better. Thank you for that, hon.”

[Cuts to Vanzilla arriving at Mick Swagger’s mansion, Lynn Sr. rings the doorbell]

Mick: “Good evening, Louds! Come on in!”

Luna: “Woah, this place is sick, dude!”

Lynn Sr.: [in a British accent] “Oh, yes, it most certainly is.”

Mick: [chuckles] “Good accent there, sir. Come now, shepherd’s pie is on the table.”

[Cuts to after dinner]

Rita: “Thank you, Mick, that was great!”

Mick: “Oh, don’t thank me, love. Thank my chef, Jeremy.”

Lynn Sr.: [to Jeremy] “Say, I do happen to be a chef at my own restaurant. Perhaps I could help you cook tomorrow night?”

Jeremy: “You alright with that, Mick?” [Mick nods, to Lynn Sr.] “Fine by me.”

Mick: “Alright, now who wants to go swimming?”

Lori: “But it’s literally 50 degrees outside.”

Lisa: “Actually, it’s 52.” [Lori glares at Lisa] “What? You said ‘literally,’ so I had to correct you.”

Lincoln: “That was bound to happen to you at some point, Lori.”

Lori: “Well, that’s beside the point. The point is that we’re probably going to freeze our butts off out there!”

Lynn: “But it’ll be the most fun we’ve ever HAD freezing our butts off!”

Mick: “Outside? Who ever said my pool was outside? I mean, it is, but I also have an indoor pool, if you want to use that.”

Lynn: “Eh, I’ll live on the edge and take the outdoor pool.”

Lana: “I’m going in too.”

Lisa: “I suppose I could conduct some interesting experiments on what happens when you go into the water in weather like this.”

[Lynn, Lana, and Lisa go outside]

Lori: “Alright, well, suit yourselves. Mick, can you show us where the indoor pool is?”

Mick: “Why, certainly, love. But if any of you want, there’s a concert happening here tonight in my backyard.

Luna: “What kind?”

Mick: “SMOOCH.”

Luna and Lincoln: “I’m in.”

[Luna and Lincoln head outside, while Mick takes Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, Lily, Lynn Sr., and Rita to his indoor pool, cuts to that night, where Kyle, Benny, and Luan are in the living room, watching a movie, laughing]

Benny’s mom: [from upstairs] “Time for bed, everybody.”

Kyle: [shuts off the TV] “Good night, guys.”

Benny: [heading upstairs] “Hey Luan, what did you think of that movie?”

Luan: “It was so funny! I can’t wait to finish watching it tomorrow.”

Benny: “Well, I’m sorry, but we can’t watch it tomorrow.”

Luan: “Why not?”

Benny: “April Fools’! Yep, it’s 12 o’clock midnight. It’s officially April Fools’ Day!” [goes into his room]

Luan: [in bed] “Man, Benny’s got a long way to go until he’s on my level of April Fools’ pranking.” [realizes something] “Wait, maybe he doesn’t have to be.” [starts to feel guilty] “I’ve been so cruel to my family all these years. I’ve put them in constant fear for their lives. And Benny’s parents say that he’s never this harsh on them on April Fools’ Day.” [sighs, goes to sleep]

[Cut to the next morning, the Louds wake up]

Lincoln: [yawns] “Do I hear what I think I hear? I do! It’s peace and quiet! None of Luan’s pranks!” [gets out of bed and runs downstairs to see his family eating breakfast] “Ah, isn’t this nice?”

Lynn: “Heck yeah, it is! Our first April Fools’ Day in peace!”

[The family cheers, enter Mick]

Mick: “Hey guys! Good news, we’re going down to the city for the day! I’ve got limos for us and everything!”

[The family cheers again, cut to Luan and Benny in the park]

Benny: “Alright, so Kyle and his girlfriend, Tina, are going to walk by any minute now. Do you have the letter?” [Luan gives it to him] “Perfect. Did you look carefully at Holly’s handwriting and copy it as best you could.” [Luan nods] “Great. Now, we wait.” [Kyle and Tina walk by, holding hands and laughing, Benny throws the note in front of them]

Kyle: [picks up the note] “What the?”

Tina: “Who’s Holly?”

Kyle: “My ex-girlfriend.” [opens and reads it] “Hi Baby! I’m so happy you called last night! Of course I’d love to get back together with you! And I’d love to meet you for dinner tonight! Love you honey, Holly!” [to Tina] “I swear, I have no clue about this!”

Tina: “Oh, really?” [walks off]

Kyle: “Where are you going?”

Tina: “To find someone who won’t betray me when my back is turned on them!”

Kyle: “Babe, I didn’t call Holly, I swear!” [hears two familiar voices laughing, looks over to see…] “Benny and Luan! I should’ve known it was you two!”

Benny and Luan: “April Fools’!” [laugh]

Tina: “Oh, Kyle, I’m so sorry.”

Kyle: “No, it’s fine, Tina.” [to Benny and Luan] “I’ll be honest, that was a good one.” [high fives the two, walks off, laughing, with Tina]

[Cuts to a montage of Benny and Luan pulling lighthearted pranks on people in the park, with them laughing with the victims after each one]

Benny: “I’ve got to say, Luan, I had a lot of fun with you today.”

Luan: “Yeah, so did I.”

Benny: “You know, it just goes to show you the true meaning of April Fools’ Day. You can have just, but you have to make sure you’re having fun with others, not at their expense. You know what I’m saying?”

Luan: [sighs] “Yeah.”

Benny: [worriedly] “You alright, Luan.”

Luan: [with tears in her eyes] “No, I’m not alright. I’m a monster!”

Benny: “What do you mean?”

[Cut to flashbacks of Luan ruthlessly tormenting her family on previous April Fools’ Days, cut back to the present]

Luan: “That’s probably why my family sent me to your house this weekend: so they could get a break from my pranks.” [starts crying]

Benny: [shocked] “I—I can’t believe you would do that to your family! I’ve got to go.”

Luan: “But Benny--!”

Benny: “I’m sorry, Luan, but I have to.” [walks away, dials a number] “Hi Mom, it’s Benny. Why did you not tell me about what Luan has done! She’s changed? You think she’s changed after all these years? She could’ve hurt us! Oh, I see. Well, I’m still disappointed you didn’t tell me sooner. I forgive you. OK, goodbye.” [hangs up, angrily looks at Luan, and walks away, with Luan sadly looking down, crying]

[Cut to Mick’s mansion, where he has just returned from a day in the city with the Loud family]

Lincoln: “Man, that was awesome!”

Lola: “You bet it was!”

Lynn: “Luan’s missing out!”

Leni: “Speaking of Luan, I wonder how she’s doing.”

Lori: “Well, she’s with her boyfriend, so she’s probably having a pretty good time.”

[Cut to Benny’s house, where he is sulking on the couch, Kyle notices and sits next to him]

Kyle: “Hey little bro, what’s the problem?”

Benny: “Well, you see—”

Kyle: “And where’s Luan?”

Benny: “She’s still at the park.” [sighs] “…and so I just walked away from her.”

Kyle: [shocked] “What?! She seems so nice! Why in the world would she do stuff like that?!”

Benny: “I don’t know. I mean, I do feel kind of bad about leaving her there alone, though.”

Kyle: “Well, I think I can find her. I remember where you two were sitting when you pranked me and Tina.” [leaves for the park, finds Luan] “Hi Luan.”

Luan: “Oh, hey Kyle. I assume Benny told you everything.”

Kyle: “He did. He’s very disappointed in you, and I don’t blame him. He’s really worried he now doesn’t have any idea who you are.”

Luan: [crying] “I love Benny! And I thought we could work together. I’m such a horrible person!”

Kyle: “Well, it’s getting late, so why don’t we go home. We’ll talk more in the morning.” [they walk off]

[Cut to the next morning, Lincoln wakes up]

Lincoln: [yawns] “Man, we’re going back home today. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. And at least we got to actual have a pleasant April 1 for once!”

[Lincoln walks down to have breakfast, when Lynn Sr.’s phone rings]

Lynn Sr.: “Oh no, Luan is calling to video chat! Should I answer?”

Rita: “Well, it’s not April Fools’ Day anymore, so it couldn’t hurt.”

Lynn Sr.: [begrudgingly answers] “H—hello?”

Luan: “Hi Dad. Can you please have me face the whole family?” [Lynn Sr. does so] “Where are you guys? That place looks fancy.”

Luna: “We’re at Mick Swagger’s mansion, dude.”

Lincoln: “Yeah, and unlike the last few years, we had a pretty awesome April Fools’ Day.”

Sisters: [smugly] “Oooooooooh!”

Luan: “Well, I’m glad you guys had fun. I’m calling to say that I’m sorry.” [her family looks at her, confused] “I’m sorry, Lincoln, for making you go through all that torture to see Ronnie Anne. I’m sorry, Leni, for misleading you with the ‘kitchen’ signs. I’m sorry to all of you for blasting you with paint in Vanzilla, for putting you through torment at the motel, and for making you the laughingstocks of Royal Woods. There is no excuse for me celebrating my favorite holiday by putting you through all this. And Lucy, I’ve seen how you celebrate your favorite holiday, Halloween, and you make sure we all have fun celebrating with you. I’m sorry, everybody.” [starts to cry, hangs up, hears a knock on the door] “Come in.”

Benny: [comes in] “Hi Luan. I overheard you talking to your family, and I appreciate you being brave enough to admit your past actions.’

Luan: “Thanks, Benny. I just couldn’t have a good time with you knowing what I’ve done because, because—” [voice breaks] “I love you.”

Benny: “Well, I still think you’ve done horrible things to your family in the past, and you deserve to feel guilty for it, but I respect you for admitting to them and apologizing for them. And you are still a really funny, sweet girl and, I love you, too.”

[Benny and Luan hug, Kyle looks on, giving a thumbs up, cuts to Vanzilla pulling up at Benny’s house]

Lynn Sr.: [enters the house] “Luan, we’re here!”

Luan: “Hi Dad.”

Lynn Sr.: “Hi honey. We all thought about your apology, and we do appreciate it very much. And we forgive you.”

Luan: “What? For all those years, you forgive me just like that?”

Lynn Sr.: “Well, we were about to ground you, but between us pranking you and leaving you at the motel the other year, us making you think we were moving to Florida and making you chase down a moving truck with all your furniture last year, and us leaving you here this year, we think you’ve been punished enough.”

Luan: “Thank you, Dad!” [the two hug, and go out to the car, Luan waves at Benny’s family, who wave back]

[Cut to the Loud House, where the family is telling Luan about their weekend]

Lincoln: “And then, SMOOCH showed up, and rocked the backyard!”

Lana: “Yeah, and I froze my butt off!” [to Lori] “Not literally, though.” [Lori glares at Lana]

Luan: “Well, I’m glad you guys had fun.”

Lori: “And we’re glad you’re willing to change your ways on April Fools’ Day from now on.

[The family hugs, ending the episode]
