User blog:Reciter5613/LB: Sister take 1

Kevin with his new sister Amanda came to the front door of the Loud house and rang the bell. Lincoln then opened the door.

Lincoln: Hey there, you two.

Kevin: Good day, Lincoln. I came with my sister in the hopes of her making friends with your sisters.

Amanda: It would be good to socialize with girls in my age range.

Kevin: That would be the twins and Lucy. They are only one year off from you.

Then the twins Lola and Lana came rushing down excited.

Lana: Great to meet you, Amanda!

Lola: (To Lana) Hey, she's gonna be mine friend!

Lana: (to Lola) Like heck your gonna keep her to yourself!

Lucy: Twins!

Everyone was jump-scared by Lucy standing there.

Lucy: We are all gonna try to make friends with her.

Amanda: Well put. Let us......do whatever you girls do usually so I can know more about you and hopefully make a connection.

Lola: Me first! You ready for some fun?

Manda: Go ahead, make my day.

Lola then grabs Amanda's hand and pulls her upstairs with Lana and Lucy chasing them.

Lana: No fair, Lola!

Kevin: (to Lincoln) Wow! Did they seem rather eager?

Lincoln: Of course. Sometimes it's not easy for them to find new friends. They tend to scare people away with their antics.

Kevin: Your sisters are a very lively bunch who have a habit of causing chaos. I did warn Amanda about them.

Lincoln: How are you getting along with your new sister-in-law?

Kevin: Just sister and it's going well. She takes after her father and has a thing for movies, TV and any other forms of story telling.

Lincoln: Even video games?

Kevin: Maybe. Some would see Video games as interactive story telling.

Lincoln: So are there any real issues with her?

Kevin: Not much except for when we watched my favorite business drama show "On the clock!"

(Flashback)

Kevin and Amanda were watching TV together.

Amanda: This show is so poorly written! We are not showing any character development, the plot is all over the place and those guest stars have no place in it!

Kevin: Calm down! I see no issues with the episode so far.

Amanda: Please! It's obvious that John messed up the reports, their company will be in the red, he will get blamed and the rest of the season will be him trying to fix his mistake.

Kevin: What!? It can't be!

(End flashback)

Kevin: Sadly, it was. She pretty much spoiled the season for me. You and your sisters best not watch anything with her cause she can somehow guess every plot, trope and twist coming. She is not the people anyone want to watch your anything with.

Lincoln: Dang!

Meanwhile in Lola and Lana's room, Lola had Amanda at her table for a tea party.

Lola: You have enough tea, guest?

Amanda: This is so cliche of average girls your age. Doesn't seem very realistic.

Lola: This is real life......is it?

Amanda: Best not to think too deep on whatever your thinking right now.

Lana then came up to Amanda with one of her mud pies.

Lana: I got something not cliche!

Amanda: Look, I know your trying your best to be different but even you should have a line not to cross.

Lana: You know, that's what Kevin said.

Lucy: Hang on.

Everyone screams in fear from Lucy appearing.

Amanda: You need a bell or something! Seriously!

Lucy: Well, I wanted to offer you a special blood smoothie. Me and Leni came up with it.

Amanda smiled seeing how nice it looked. She looked Lola and pointed at Lucy's drink.

Amanda: I'll have what she's having.

Lola pouts as Amanda got a smoothie from Lucy.

Lucy: First off, it's nice to see someone else wear her bangs over her eyes like me. You also wish to hind the window of your soul from others?

Amanda: No, It's just better then getting sunglasses. I am from the coast anyway.

Lucy: Fine by me. Anyway, I was told you were into movies.

Amanda: Mostly but I'm open to any form of media and story telling.

Lucy: Have you seen The Vampires of Melancholia?

Amanda: The drama? I've seen the first few seasons but never really got into it. It lost me when Griselda started going back and forth in relations with Edwin and that Werewolf. It's like she was trying to get more attention then she needed. I have never seen a female character so needy and insecure.

Lucy: (Looks down) Yeah.....it was not the best season.

Amanda: Then the next season, Griselda went on about not wanting to become a vampire but then two episodes later she begs to become one! No explanation!

Lucy: OK....I....

Amanda: And where do I start about that Tristan guy getting added into the show just to lure in the "Love Boat" demographic!?

Lucy: (Yells) Alright! I get it!

Amanda: Oh, sorry. I get like that sometimes. I'm just......really passionate about story writing.

Lana: Well, our sister Luna can go nuts about Mick Swagger.

Luna then pops up at the door.

Luna: Who said what now!?

Lola, Lana and Lucy: (Panicking) Nothing!!

Luna leaves.

Lola: (Sighs) That was close!

Lana: Anyway, your ranting was unexpected but......

Lucy: It's fine. Just don't go psycho about it.

Amanda: I only promise to try.

Lola: Also if your really into script writing then why don't you do it?

Amanda: Who says I don't? I write some fiction and re-writes of other series. I'm even working on a personal screenplay.

Lucy: Of what?

Amanda: I rather keep that to myself until it's ready.

Lana: I got an idea for a movie! About a girl who loves to be messy and wishes to be accepted by others for who she is.

Lola: No way they want that! How about one with a beautiful princess who.....

Lana: Boring already!

Lucy: How about a different take on modern vampires?

Amanda: Interesting pitches. Let us discuss.

An hour later, Lincoln and Kevin returned to the Loud house after hanging out.

Lincoln: You think Amanda and my sisters are getting along?

Kevin: I just hope they didn't set her off on one of her long story writing rants. When she noticed one flaw in "Major Meltdown" I thought she would never stop.

They then hear Amanda and the girls yelling like they were arguing. They then rush to see though the doorway scared that it wasn't working. What they see is them drawing and writing.

Lola: No! I think the princess should go after the hunky one!

Amanda: That's way too obvious and cliche! Do you want them to guess the plot out the second the movie starts?

Lana sees Lincoln and Kevin there at the door.

Lana: OH, hey guys! We were just coming up with a screenplay.

Lincoln: It sounded like arguing.

Amanda: Coming up with a story this complex would sound like that.

Lola: Well, you should listen to my suggestions more!

Amanda: Doesn't help that your more hostile then you need to.

Lola: (Angry) What?!

Amanda: See? What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Kevin: So, are you bonding then?

Lucy: We would say so. We have different opinions but that didn't stop us from getting along.

Amanda: That's right. I like talking to people with different view points. Makes things more interesting.

Lincoln and Kevin smiled and nodded.

Kevin: Well wrap it up cause we need to leave in 15.3 minutes.

Amanda: Alright! Just let me finish here real quick.

Kevin and Lincoln left them.

Amanda: (Clearing her thought) Girls, I decided.....maybe I should tell you about my personal screenplay.

The girls gasped excited.

Lana: You will?

Lola: Tell us! Tell us! I won't tell anyone or blackmail you with it! I really should not have said that....!

Amanda: (Deep breath) Alright, it's....about a girl whose mother left her and her dad when she was very little. She felt so bad that she stopped being happy. Never making friends or even smiling. But then.....her father shows her the wonders of movies and the great stories they tell. How their stories could change the world but only when they are told right. She would work at becoming a writer and maybe director to make great movies, TV or whatever.

Lucy: Whoa! Heavy. But I can't help but wonder......is this based on.....?

Amanda: Me? Yes. I feel it best to tell my story though film. It means a lot to me. I just need to know how to write in when dad remarried and I got introduced to Kevin.

Lola: What do you have so far?

Amanda: To be honest, me and Kevin were having trouble at first but then we got closer one night.

(flashback)

In Kevin's house, Amanda was heard screaming. Kevin got up and went to her room to see what happened. He saw her on her bed curled up with her personal screenplay and crying. He went up concerned.

Kevin: Sister, what is wrong? Why were you screaming?

Amanda: (sobbing) Sorry, I.....had the worse nightmare. I was trying to make my dream movie but then some people kicked me off the project and changed everything to ruin it. It's my greatest fear! My vision twisted into another soulless cash grab!

Kevin then remembered what he learned from when he took lessons from the Louds and then got on the bed with her. He then hugged her tightly and stroked her hair. She was surprised by this but welcomed it as it helped calm her down.

Kevin: It's OK sister. I know how it feels. The world of business also has issues with greedy marketing departments.

Amanda: They are all wrong! Greed, for lack of a better word, is not good! It only ruins art!

Kevin: Well remember that when your running your father's studio you have full control. You just need to keep an eye on your marketing to make sure they don't try anything.

Amanda: But, what if that....?

Kevin: Also, my mother's company also owns the studio so when I'm running it I will do my best to help you.

Amanda: You.....you would?

Kevin: Of course. As the older brother, it is my duty to help you in any way I can.

Amanda was glad to hear that. She was so calm that she then fell back to asleep in his arms. He then laid her back down and pulled the covers back over her.

Kevin: Goodnight, sister.

(End flashback)

Lola, Lana and Lucy were touched by the story.

Lola: Wow! That was so sweet of him.

Lucy: He is just like our brother in that regard.

Amanda shed a tear smiling.

Amanda: Yeah....He is the sibling anyone could ask for. I just need to make sure it written well in my screenplay. To capture how great he is.

Lana: It is hard to explain how older brother is so we get you. We wish you luck.

Kevin: (From downstairs) Sister, let's go!

Amanda: Coming!

She then gets up to heads to the door. But looked back at the others smiling.

Amanda: You girls are great. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

She runs downstairs to Kevin and they soon leave for home.

Kevin: I can tell your making friends venture worked out.

Amanda: Indeed. Those Louds also give me several ideas for movies. Also we have one major thing in common.

Kevin: What wou;d that be?

She then hugged Kevin's arm.

Amanda: We both have great older brothers.

Kevin: (Blushed) Well.....OK then

Then Mr Grouse saw them out his window.

Mr. Grouse: Stop being so mushy in front of my lawn, will ya!?

Amanda: (To Grouse) Frankly, my dear old man, I don't give a dang!
