Script
(Opens with Lincoln looking at The Loud Family Trophy case as he sighs)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) The Loud Family trophy case. My sisters have done some pretty impressive stuff to get in here. There are Lynn's soccer trophies...

(Flashbacks to Lynn in the middle of a soccer game as she kicks the ball into the opposing team's net scoring the final goal for the team as the family cheers for Lynn except for Lincoln. Lynn is shown receiving a big trophy with a soccer ball on it as several people flash cameras at her, Lincoln see's this as he sighs and looks down as the flashback ends)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) Lola's pageant crowns...

(Flashbacks to Lola returning home from a pageant with a golden crown)

Lola: That's another crown for the most pretty little girl in Royal Woods!

(Lola puts the crown in her spot as Lincoln watches looking down as the flashback ends)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) Lisa's Junior Nobel Prize...

(Lisa is shown at a conference being asked questions by several people with cameras flashing as Lisa is holding her Junior Nobel Prize)

Male Journalist: Lisa Loud, tell us what's it like to be the youngest child ever to receive a Junior Nobel Prize!

Female Journalist: What else will we expect from you coming up!?

Lisa: I will answer your questions shortly, but I would like some more pictures of me with this prize so I can celebrate this moment forever.

(Cameras continue to flash as Lisa smiles from all the attention she is getting, the rest of the family watches very proud of Lisa while Lincoln sighs and looks down as the flashback ends)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) Even Lily's won her thumb sucking contests! And then there's me.

(Shows that such trophies are in their proper spots, but Lincoln's spot is completely vacant as he sighs)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) I've tried everything to get into this trophy case.

(A series of flashbacks take place; Flashback #1, Lincoln is shown running a marathon but arrives at the finish line hours after it had finished; Flashback #2, Lincoln is in a karate tournament and breaks his arm when trying to display a karate chop and is being put to the hospital ; Flashback #3, Lincoln is competing in a beauty pageant, which is usually Lola's territory)

Judge: And the winner of the Little Miss Cutie Pie Pageant is...Liiiiiiiiiiinnnnnn-dsey Sweetwater!

(Lincoln sulks; end flashbacks)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) But now, I finally have my chance! The 5th Grade Video Contest. Whoever's video gets the most votes wins the trophy and I'll finally have something in the trophy case that shows that I've worked hard and accomplished something in this family.

(A knock is heard at the door as Lincoln opens the door letting Clyde in)

Clyde: Hey buddy, ready to get started on the contest.

Lincoln: (smiles) You know it, I just need to go find my video camera upstairs.

(Cuts to Lincoln in his room looking underneath his bed for the video camera as Clyde looks on his dresser)

Lincoln: Dang it where is that camera? I really need to do something about these hand me downs in here.

Clyde: Hey Linc, did you make this?

(Lincoln gets up noticing Clyde holding a written comic book)

Lincoln: Oh yeah that's just a comic I wrote one day.

Clyde: (looks through the book) This looks pretty good Linc, I didn't know you could make comics.

Lincoln: It's just something I do on occasion. (finds the video camera on the floor) A ha! I found it, now it's time to get to work!

Clyde: What's the plan?

Lincoln: My plan for my video is gonna get everyone voting for me.

(Cuts to Lincoln wearing some kind of uniform for a stunt as Clyde films it)

Lincoln: Are we rolling? (In character) Hey, fifth grade! Lincoln Loud here! Ever wonder what happens when 672 breath mints meet 88 gallons of diet soda? Well, you're about to find out!" (rides on Lana's skateboard off a ramp onto a catapult where he is launched by Charles and Cliff into a swimming pool full of diet soda, causing the soda and mints to shoot out like a geyser)

Clyde: (drenched in soda) That was amazing! You're right. Everyone's gonna vote for this.

(However, a while after uploading to the school's website's contest page, the video doesn't have any votes at all)

Lincoln: Why isn't anybody voting for this?

Clyde: Maybe because they're all voting for this HamstaCam video. (uploads video of what is simply a hamster just running around in his wheel like any other hamster)

Lincoln: (notices the vote total) 50 votes?! Pssh! What's so great about some dumb hamster?" (Geo overheard that and chitters at him angrily) Not you, Geo. You're awesome.

Clyde: Hey! We got a vote! No, wait, it's a comment. "Nice try, U shld go to UR BIG SISTER'S site for some tipzz. Her videos R sick: L.O.L. COMEDY CHANNEL"

Lincoln: Click the link.

(Clyde clicks the link as it opens to LUAN OUT LOUD'S COMEDY CHANNEL)

Lincoln: Cute, but how many people wanna watch Luan- (notices her fan total) 50,000 followers?! Clyde, do you know what this means?

Clyde: People waste a lot of time on the internet?

Lincoln: No! It means Luan can help us win the video contest! Come on!

(Cuts to Luan looking over Lincoln's video)

Luan: Mm-hmm...

Lincoln: Pretty sick, right?

Luan: Yeah, not in this case.

Lincoln: (shocked) What?!

Luan: Sorry, Linc. Stunts are so last year.

Lincoln: (sighs) Of course you would say that, right when I get a chance to win a contest and earn a trophy, I'm behind on what people actually want to watch.

Luan: If you still want to win the contest, you should try making funny videos, why do you think I'm so popular online?

Lincoln: Well, how do I make those?

Luan: Easy. You just follow my one simple rule. Keep your camera on at all times, because you never know when you'll strike comedy gold. Ooh! Like this! (Films Clyde picking his nose

Clyde: Aw, come on! Erase that!

Luan: Don't worry, Clyde. I would never post it without your permission. Besides, I said comedy gold, not digging for gold. (laughs)

(A few hours have passed)

Lincoln: We've had the camera on all day! Where exactly is this comedy gold?" (sighs) Clyde? Are you listening to me?

Clyde: Sorry, Lincoln. I was just worried that Lynn was going to accidentally step on that rake, resulting in a series of escalating mishaps.

Lincoln: That's great, Clyde, but-series of escalating mishaps?! (hides in a bush to film Lynn)

Lynn: (bouncing a Soccer ball off her head) 56...57...58...59... (steps on the rake and gets hit) Ouch!

(The ball bounces off a pole and onto her face, sending her flying onto a trampoline where she bounces off and lands in the soda pool)

Lincoln: That was hilarious!

Clyde: It sure was!

Lincoln: (gasps) Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Clyde: That we go see if Lynn is okay?

Lincoln: Well no, I meant that If we struck comedy gold with one sister, with ten, we'll have Comedy Fort Knox!

Clyde: I don't know if that's such a good idea.

Lincoln: Trust me Clyde, this plan will work.

(They film Luna next)

Luna: (In a British accent) Just like me idol, Mick Swagger. ALL RIGHT!" (splits and rips her new jeans; in her normal accent] "Oof! Ooh, drafty.

[Lincoln and Clyde zoom-in on her rip as Lincoln laughs and move onto Lucy who's holding a bust of a vampire)

Lucy: Oh, Edwin, I know you're forbidden to love a mortal like me, but I can't resist your piercing gaze, your sparkly skin, your icy lips... (kisses the bust and gets its wax lips over hers)

Clyde: Hmm...maybe something like this is a little too personal.

Lincoln: (checks the school's site's poll) HamstaCam just got 10 more votes! Eh, it's not that personal. Keep rolling.

(They then secretly film Lori who is walking up to the fridge and looks around and thinks she's alone; she lets out what looks like a fart; next, they film Lola who is sleeping with a mud mask, a sleeping mask, hair curlers, and a retainer to make herself beautiful; they move onto Lana who rummages through the trash and finds a piece of gum and chews it; they film Lori again while she's texting and she presumably lets out another fart; they film Lisa who is reading a science book until she walks into the banister; Leni comes in and walks into the wall next to the banister; they film Lori yet again while she's getting ready to go out for a drive and she presumably farts again; she notices the stench and rolls down the window)

Lincoln: Ah! I can smell victory coming up.

Clyde: Really? Cause all I smell is egg salad.

(Lincoln and Clyde let out disgusted expressions)

Lincoln: Anyways, that should be enough let's go upload this.

(Lincoln and Clyde arrive at the family computer and export the clips from the camera onto the computer as they look at what they filmed)

Lincoln: With Luna's ripped pants, Lola's sleep face, and especially Lori's farting I'll for sure win this contest.

Clyde: Wait, what about Luan's rule of asking permission to upload this?

Lincoln: Come on Clyde, you know what their response will be.

(Cuts to a fantasy of Lincoln asking his sisters' permission to upload the videos as he showed them what he filmed)

Lola: (annoyed) There is no way that's going online!

Lori: (annoyed) Yeah, especially not the parts of me farting!

(The sisters argue with Lincoln)

Lincoln: But guys, I need this so I can win the contest and win a trophy!

Lynn: Like we actually care if you win or not.

Lisa: Besides, based off your failed attempts to win at various contests previously, you would still end up failing.

Lori: (smirks) Well that's just typical of Lincoln to do that.

Luan: (smirks) Yeah, Lincoln the loser!

(All the sisters laugh at Lincoln as he looks down upset, as it cuts to Lincoln in his class watching the student with the Hamstercam video winning the trophy with everyone applauding him on his victory while he looks down at his failure. It cuts to Lincoln walking home still upset as he walks inside where all the other sisters are doing various activities not even noticing him. Lincoln goes upstairs as it cuts to the trophy case getting more trophies overtime for each spot except for Lincoln's, until at one point Lincoln walks up to the trophy case noticing each spot completely filled up with ribbons, trophies, and certificates while his has remained empty)

Lincoln: (voice breaking) My sisters are right, I am just a loser.

(Lincoln begins to quietly cry with his head against the glass door of the trophy case as the fantasy ends)

Clyde: I'm sorry if that's how you feel, but this is still wrong.

Lincoln: (scroffs) Well of course you would say that.

Clyde: Hey I'm just trying to be a good friend.

Lincoln: (annoyed) If you were a good friend then you would understand how I feel. It's bad enough being the middle child in a large family but it's even worse when you have nothing to show for in a large family of kids who earn awards for what their good at! What do I have to show for it? Nothing! I can't play golf, or design fashion, or play musical instruments, or tell jokes, or play sports, or write poetry, or use tools, or win pageants, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the smart child in the family either! Even Lily a one year old baby, can win a trophy just for sucking her thumb! Meanwhile, I'll lose at running a marathon, doing karate, or even going as far as being in a little girl's pageant just to do something to stand out and not feel like I don't belong in this home! And if I don't upload these videos, (voice breaking) I'll continue to live in the shadows of my family while they go on to bigger and better things in life.

Clyde: (sighs) You know what, upload the video maybe things won't turn out so bad for your sisters.

Lincoln: (slightly smiles) Thanks for understanding.

(Lincoln proceeds to upload the video as it cuts to the next day at school, all the kids are talking about Lincoln's video)

Female Classmate: Lincoln, your video rocks! You got my vote!

Male Classmate: Man. Lucy and that sculpture? What a weirdo!

Female Classmate: So embarrassing.

Lincoln: (worried) Embrrassing?

Male Classmate: Yeah! If I was in that video I would just move out of town!

Lincoln: (laughs nervously) I know right.

(Later, Lincoln and Clyde are walking home)

Clyde: So how do you feel buddy? At this rate you'll get that trophy.

Lincoln: Yeah I will, but I think you were right I might've gone too far with uploading all those clips.

Clyde: Just delete the video after you win, in a couple days all of this will be forgotten.

Lincoln: You're probably right, hopefully before then none of them will even know about the video.

(But just as he opens the door, his sisters are right there, and they are incredibly furious. Lori is holding her cell phone with the video on it)

Clyde: They know.

(The sisters rant about Lincoln's video)

Lincoln: Wait, wait, wait! Let me explain!

Lori: You've got exactly three seconds before we pulverize you!

(Lynn cracks her knuckles and Lisa starts a stopwatch to time Lincoln's very limited time)

Lincoln: There was this video contest at school and I really wanted to win!

Lola: YOU SHOWED MY SLEEP FACE FOR SOME STUPID CONTEST?!

Lincoln: I just wanted a trophy to put in the case like you guys!

Luna: You think you deserve a trophy for that, bro?

Lincoln: (nervous) Well yeah, you have no idea how it...

Lucy: (interrupts) Save it, You don't deserve to defend what you did not ever.

Lynn: You made me look like a fool!

Lucy: You made me look like a freak!

Lori: You made me look like I fart! And for the record, it was these shoes! See? [tries to make it look like they were making the farting noise but fails] Of course it's not working now.

Lincoln: Lori, I'm sorry! Wait!

(The sisters walk away angry as Lincoln chases after them while Clyde leaves nervously)

Lincoln: Luna, let me explain!

Luna: (drowning Lincoln out with heavy metal frustration) Wait who are you?! Probably just my imagination since I never remember having a brother! (slams her door)

Lincoln: Leni! Lori! I'm sorry!

Lori: Why don't you leave forever you disgusting freak?!

Leni: Yeah! (walks into the wall and gets dragged in by Lori)

Lincoln: Lola! Lana! Please!

Lola: You're not my brother and you never WERE! (slams the door)

(Lincoln sighs and Lana opens it which he thinks she will forgive him)

Lana: And I feel the same way! (slams the door)

Lincoln: (knocks on Lisa's door) Lisa! Lisa? (Lisa slides a note under the door) "Go kill yourself." (turns to Lynn and Lucy) Guys, come on!

(Lynn growls in fury)

Lucy: Go fall in a grave and die. (starts to close the door then opens it) But not in my graveyard. (slams door)

Lincoln: Luan, you gotta help me! I was only doing what you said!

Luan: You broke the unspoken rule: never post a video without the person's permission!

Lincoln: Why didn't you tell me that?

Luan: Because it's unspoken, now be like a booger and flick away. (slams door)

Lincoln: (sighs) I really messed up. (sadly walks downstairs and goes to the computer) I guess it's goodbye trophy. (deletes the video)

Computer: DELETED.

Lincoln: Well, HamstaCam, looks like you win (voice breaking) and I lose like I always do.

THE NEXT MORNING

(Luan opens up her closet and notices her vault of footage of Lincoln is missing)

Luan: Huh, didn't I have footage of embarrassing moments of Lincoln?

(Luan shrugs it off as she walks out of her room)

LATER THAT DAY

(Luan was in the cafeteria at school when she noticed a group of classmates huddled together)

Luan: Hey, where's the game at? (laughs)

Male Classmate: (confused) Game?

Luan: (smirks) You know cause football games have the players huddle up and... (clears her throat) anyways what's up?

Female Classmate: My younger sister shared this video of some stupid kid.

(Luan joined the huddle to watch the video off someone's phone)

Lincoln: (sighs) Hey, fifth grade. Lincoln Loud here. Ever wonder what happens when one brother messes up and embarrasses all ten of his sisters? I didn't think you would. But this is how you fix it. And if one of my sisters is watching, I hope this means that we're even cause now (voice breaking) I'm back to being Lincoln the Loser.

Male Classmate: (smirks) Wow he really is a loser.

(The first clip is of Lincoln in his underwear pretending to flex muscles and kissing his arm; the next clip is of him holding a photo of a girl named Cristina)

Lincoln: (suavely) Well, Cristina, I can't say I'm surprised you asked me out. I've seen the way you look at me in the lunch line.

(The next clip is of him dancing around in some silly outfit; the next clip has him combing his one chest hair and for some reason watering it; the next clip is of him watching a sappy reality show about a man choosing his woman)

Man: Bentley, will you accept this rose?

(Lincoln starts weeping; more footage of him admiring Cristina)

Lincoln: Oh, this manly thing? Yes. It is a chest hair. The first of many, I'm sure.

(The next clip is of him sleeping with Bun-Bun and sucking his thumb; the next clip is of Lori cutting a fart and Lincoln walking by and falling over from the stench; the next clip is of him singing in the shower)

Lincoln: Groomin' the chest hair, I'm groomin' the chest hair, I'm groomin' the- [slips and falls]

(Even more footage of him and the Cristina photo)

Lincoln; Come on, Cristina. I've thought about it, you've thought about it, why are we fighting this? (puts on breath spray, but the photo slips off the bust he taped the photo on and he kisses the bust instead)

(The video is over and all of the kids are laughing at it, except a stunned Cristina)

Female Classmate: Oh, Lincoln.

Male Classmate: And just to be clear, we're laughing at you, not with you.

Female Classmate: We will never let this go away, by the end of the day everyone in town will know all this stuff about you.

Male Classmate: And to still lose out to a hamster, ouch!

(Lincoln sighs in defeat as it cuts to outside the Loud House, a depressed Lincoln comes back)

Lincoln: Well I lost another contest and now everyone in town thinks I'm a joke, even an elderly couple laughed at me on my way home calling me a "wimp". At this point now, I don't care if my sisters are still mad at me.

(Lincoln opens the door only to find out that his sisters are STILL furious)

Lincoln: (snaps) Okay you know what, I don't care if you still wanna pulverize me!

Lori: (sternly) Lincoln...

Lincoln: (interrupts) No! I'm tired of this, all of this!! I finally have a chance to do something that shows that I've accomplished something in this family since all of you think I'm some joke! Yes, what I did was wrong but you never even let me explain why I did what I did, instead you hurled insults at me either telling me to leave forever or to flat out kill MYSELF!!! And now that I both lost the contest and I'm now gonna be made fun of for I don't even know how long, you ten still wanna make this all about yourselves!! What do you have to say about that!?!?

(The sisters look somewhat shocked at first but then immediately laugh at Lincoln)

Lynn: (laughs) Geez, can't you take a joke!

Lori: (laughs) Yeah, your video was literally even worse than ours! So we obviously forgive you.

Lynn: (laughs) Take a chill pill why don't you.

(The sisters continue to laugh as Lincoln begins to look down upset from all the mockery he's gotten)

Luan: Sorry you didn't win the trophy.

(Lincoln stares at them for a few seconds of silence)

Lincoln: No you're not.

(Lincoln walks past the sisters pushing them aside as he goes upstairs upset, the sisters look confused as they follow him)

Lori: Hey! Get back here!

Leni: Why can't you just accept our apology and move on already?

Lincoln: (upset) Because, you don't seem to actually get it do you!? My social life is ruined now and I'm not even gonna delete the video I made of myself just because I want everyone to forget about all of you! Not only that I'm back to where I was before, a spot on the trophy case where I have nothing to show that I've accomplished something!

Luna: That's not true dude, we all got you this as a way of saying thank you. (hands him a tiny trophy)

Lincoln: (reads the trophy) Most Improved Brother?

Lana: Well you did improve.

Lincoln: (upset) Oh great, a reminder of what I did!

Lola: It's just a trophy.

Lincoln: (upset) It's not just about a trophy! It's about the accomplishments I've made, the trophy represents something I did in this family that deserves recognition! And just saying that I improved by making myself look like the joke that I already am isn't even an accomplishment! All of you have that while I don't, and now the only thing I'll have now is just this awful memory thanks to this stupid piece of metal! (throws the trophy on the ground)

Lori: (annoyed) Hey! That literally cost us twenty bucks!

Luan: Come on Linc, what more do you want from us now?

Lincoln: (sighs) Just leave me alone and continue to be the shadow I already am in this family.

(Lincoln walks into his room and slams the door)

Lola: Overdramatic much?

Lori: Yeah I agree, let's just forget about it and move on.

(All the sisters walk away while Lincoln is laying on his bed as he turns his face on his pillow and begins crying for several minutes upset over his sisters shallow behavior towards him, his whole school and possibly whole town making fun of him, and the fact that the only trophy he got is just a reminder of this awful day.)

THE NEXT DAY

(Lincoln arrives at school where he walks to his locker as a classmate walks up to him)

Male Classmate: Hey Lincoln, I wrote a new song. (fake sings) Groomin' the chest hair, I'm groomin' the chest hair, I'm groomin' the... (laughs)

(The classmate walks away as Lincoln sighs and continues on with his day, in the hallway another classmate approaches him)

Male Classmate: Doing anything after school?

Lincoln: No why?

Male Classmate: Okay cause I was hoping you would flex your "muscles" for all of us to see. (kisses his muscles and laughs)

(Lincoln rushes past the classmate as he spots two classmates doing one of his clips in the video)

Male Classmate: (to Female Classmate) Oh, this manly thing? Yes. It is a chest hair. The first of many, I'm sure.

Female Classmate: (to Male Classmate) Oh I'm sorry, I don't date losers (points to Lincoln) like him!

(The two laugh as Lincoln rushes past the other classmates who also begin to laugh at him, he makes it into the bathroom as he goes into one of the stalls, locks it, and cries in his hands upset over everyone at school bullying him)

Lincoln: (cries) I g-guess this is how I'll be from now on, L-lincoln the l-loser!

(Lincoln continues to cry as he hears the bathroom door open and he tries to stop crying)

Lincoln: (sniffs) Can I h-have some privacy please!?

Clyde: Lincoln, is that you?

Lincoln: Clyde?

(Lincoln opens the door to the bathroom stall as he notices Clyde)

Lincoln: (sniffs) W-what do you want? You probably don't wanna be seen with me anyways.

Clyde: (sighs) I did see the video, and I'm gonna take a guess and say that you did that video as a way of apologizing to your sisters.

Lincoln: (sniffs) Gee, must've been real hard to figure that out.

Clyde: Lincoln, I hate seeing you like this why don't you take the video down?

Lincoln: What's the point the damage has been done, even if I take the video down everyone at school will still make fun of me. I have to live with this forever.

Clyde: Well I know this might not change anything but... (hugs Lincoln)

Lincoln: Thanks buddy, at least you understand what I'm going through.

LATER THAT DAY

(Lincoln returns home still upset as the sisters are in the living room doing various activities not even noticing Lincoln)

Lincoln: (sighs) What's the point...

(Lincoln goes upstairs as a montage begins with Lincoln looks blank faced and speaking in a very monotone way. During dinner while everyone is enjoying their food, smiling and engaging in conversations, Lincoln looks unhappy. While all the siblings are sitting on the couch watching a funny tv show, Lincoln looks unhappy. During one of Lynn's soccer games, she earns a goal as everyone cheers for her and she earns a trophy with a big soccer ball on it. Lola wins a new crown at a pageant as everyone cheers for her. Lisa wins a cetificate for her newest scientific achievement as everyone applauds her. During all of this while the family showed up for each other, Lincoln is absent from his sisters activities as he's shown alone in his room either drawing comics or writing dialogue in the comics as the montage ends and it cuts to one afternoon where Lincoln is finishing up the comic he's been working on.)

Lincoln: And done, (sighs) hopefully my free time was put to good use.

LATER THAT NIGHT

(Luan is shown in her PJ's about to go to bed when she opens up he closet to get her bunny slippers and see's the vault of footage of Lincoln is back)

Luan: Wait a minute, how did this get back in here?

(Luan looks around as she walks out of her room and notices Lincoln in his PJ's with one of her pieces of footage walking towards her)

Lincoln: (monotone) Here's the last of the footage.

Luan: Oh, uh thanks Linc.

Lincoln: I don't need it anymore unless I embarrass all ten of you again.

Luan: (sighs) Lincoln come on, why are you acting like this?

Lincoln: What are you talking about?

Luan: For the past few weeks you've been acting like such a sad sack you make a sack of potatoes jealous. (laughs) Get it?

Lincoln: Look I'm fine okay, just leave me alone.

Luan: Then why are you missing all of our events? This is worse than the time we all thought you were bad luck... (quickly covers her mouth)

Lincoln: (growls) Like I said before, leave me alone!

(Lincoln storms into his room and slams the door as Luan looks down a little upset)

Luan: Something is wrong with Lincoln, if only he would tell me.

(Luna in her PJ's is shown walking upstairs holding Luan's bunny slippers)

Luna: Hey sis I found your... (notices Luan) is something wrong?

Luan: (sighs) It's Lincoln, for a while he hasn't spoken to anyone.

Luna: Is he still sad over the whole video thing?

Luan: Wouldn't you be if that happened to you?

Luna: Uh it did happen to us dude, but we got over it pretty quickly.

Luan: I know that, but with Lincoln is seems more personal since he talked about how he's never accomplished anything in this family and how his spot on the trophy case is always empty.

Luna: What about the trophy we got him?

Luan: I'm pretty sure "Most Improved Brother" doesn't count as an actual accomplishment.

Luna: (scroffs) Whatever, I think Lincoln is being too dramatic about all this.

(Luna was about to walk into her room when Luan grabbed her arm)

Luan: So you don't feel bad at all about how you acted, especially when told Lincoln that you never had a brother.

Luna: (sighs) Look I was angry, I didn't know what I was even saying.

Luan: (annoyed) I figure you out of everyone, would understand how Lincoln is feeling since you were just like him a couple years ago. I remember countless nights where I would hear you weeping in the bathroom because all your other sisters had a talent while you were just the forgotten one in the family. And now that Lincoln is the forgotten one, you and the others are relishing in it all you.

Luna: So what am I some kind of hypocrite then?

Luan: (annoyed) Yes you are, and I wish you and the others would get it.

(Luan swipes her bunny slippers out of Luna's hands as she storms into her room)

Luna: Dude wait! (walks into her room)

Luan: (glares at Luna) What is it?

Luna: (sighs) Look, I'm sorry.

Luan: Why are you apologizing to me?

Luna: (upset) Because I was being a jerk, not just to you but Lincoln as well. I was so focused on myself that I didn't even notice how depressed he's been.

Luan: And he's been bullied at school, everyone has been making fun of him so much that he has to eat lunch underneath the school bleachers just to avoid everyone.

Luna: (gasps) How do you know?

(Luan pulls out her cellphone that shows a video of someone filming an unhappy Lincoln eating his lunch underneath the bleachers at school)

Camera Kid: Day sixteen, Lincoln the Loser continues to eat his lunch underneath the bleachers. (snickers)

(Luan puts her phone away as Luna feels even more upset)

Luan: So you see, what Lincoln did to us was bad, but what's happening to him now is even worse than what we had to suffer through.

Luna: (voice breaking) I don't want my little bro to be like this, and I don't want to be one of the reasons why.

Luan: If this continues, he might actually leave us or even worse...

Luna: (interrupts) No don't you dare say it!

Luan: (sighs) He might kill himself...

(Luna quietly cries as Luan does the same and the two hug each other over how they've been towards Lincoln and everything he's suffered from for the past few weeks)

Luan: (sniffs) We h-have to do something.

Luna: (sniffs) You're r-right dude, but w-what can we do?

Luan: (sniffs) W-we'll think of something tomorrow but right now we should go to bed.

Luna: (sniffs) Good idea.

THE NEXT DAY

(Lincoln is reading one of the comics he wrote in his room as he hears a knock at the door)

Lincoln: (monotone) Come in.

(Luna opens the door and walks in)

Luna: Hey little bro, how have you been?

Lincoln: Eh.

Luna: Listen I need your opinion on this new song I wrote.

Lincoln: (groans) Can't you get someone else?

Luna: Dude come on, this will only take a few minutes.

(Lincoln sighs as he follows Luna to her room, and Luan sneaks into Lincoln's room to look around)

Luan: (to herself) Alright Lincoln, what are you hiding that I must seek.

(Luan looks around quickly until she finds a homemade comic on his bed)

Luan: Huh? This doesn't look like any ordinary comic, did Lincoln make this?

(Luan picks up the comic and looks through it)

Luan: Oh wow, this looks amazing. Why would Lincoln not show us these comics?

(Luan hears Lincoln and Luna coming back as she grabs the comic and rushes out of the room)

Luna: So I'm glad you like the song bro.

Lincoln: I'm glad I could help, I guess...

Luna: Anyways, I'll see you later. (tries to hug Lincoln but he pushes her away)

Lincoln: Just... stop.

(Lincoln walks back to his room while Luna looks a little shocked as Luan approached her)

Luna: (sighs) I can't believe he didn't want to hug me.

Luan: Sorry about that sis, but I found something that'll help us.

(Luna and Luan go back to their room as Luan pulls out the homemade comic)

Luna: You got that from Lincoln's room?

Luan: Yup, look at what he's been making.

(Luan shows Luna the comic Lincoln made, which focuses on a normal boy with superpowers as he tries to hide his powers from his family and slowly becomes a hero in the process)

Luna: This looks amazing, the drawings look so good especially how he designed this family.

Luan: I had no idea Lincoln could make comics.

Luna: If only we were paying attention.

Luan: We have to show the others this, get them to see how Lincoln's been acting so we can all make him feel better.

Luna: Alright dude, looks like we'll have to have a sister meeting.

LATER THAT DAY

(All the sisters are in Lori's room as they gather together)

Lori: (to Luna and Luan) Okay you two, why did you call all of us for a meeting?

Luan: We have to ask you guys something, have you noticed how sad Lincoln's been lately?

Lola: Yeah we have, it's getting a little annoying.

Lynn: I agree, he's been acting all mopey and sad it's like he's become a clone of Lucy. (to Lucy) No offensive.

Lucy: I don't mind, it's just who I am.

Luna: Are you dudes serious? Lincoln has been miserable and you all act like he's being a big baby!

Lori: Well he is, but back to my original question: why did you call all of us for a meeting?

Luan: Because we found this. (pulls out Lincoln's homemade comic)

Lana: It's a comic book, so what?

Luna: Lincoln made this comic, and I'm certain he has several other comics in his room that he made as well!

Leni: Is that what he's been doing all this time?

Luan: We think so.

Lisa: I still don't see what this has to do with all of us having this rather pointless sibling meeting.

Luna: This matters because if we don't do something to help Lincoln out of his depression, things will only get worse from here!

Luan: And we'll all be the reasons why. (to Lori) You called Lincoln a disgusting freak!

Luna: (to Lola) And you told him that he was never your brother!

Luan: (to Lisa) And you wrote on a piece paper telling Lincoln to go kill himself!

Luna: (to Lucy) And let's forget about what you told him.

Lucy: What do you mean?

Luan: Oh I don't know, (to Lucy) about how you wanted Lincoln to go fall in a grave and die!

(All the sisters gasped at Lucy's hurtful words)

Lucy: (looks down) Sigh, I admit I went too far with what I said.

Luna: (glares at Lucy) Yeah, big time!

Lori: (Sighs) Alright I see what you guys are saying, we went way over the line with our comments and we let our anger get in the way of the words we were saying.

Lana: (upset) I don't want Lincoln to see us as the cause of his sadness.

Lola: (upset) Neither do I.

Luan: That's why we need to come up with a plan to help Lincoln get better.

Lori: (notices Leni) Seriously Leni, you're literally reading a magazine right now?

Leni: (reading her magazine) I can't help it I'm stressed reading!

(Leni flips through the pages until she notices a certain page)

Leni: (confused) What's this? Ca-mic Bok Con-test, what's a Ca Mic Bok Con Test?

(All the sisters faceplam at Leni)

Lori: (grabs the magazine from Leni) Comic Book Contest? There's a comic book contest coming up here in Royal Woods, the winner gets five hundred dollars and a trophy.

Luna: Dudes! That's it, we submit Lincoln's comic for the contest and he'll get a trophy if he wins.

Lucy: Do you think it'll really work?

Luan: Well unless anyone else has a better option then this will be our plan.

Lori: Then it's settled, we'll submit the comic under Lincoln's name and hope that he wins the contest.

1 WEEK LATER

(Lincoln was eating alphabet soup sadly in the dining room, as letters float around in the soup spelling out LOSER)

Lincoln: (sighs) Even this soup thinks I'm a loser.

(A knock is heard at the door as Lincoln walks over and opens the door to find a delivery man holding a package)

Delivery Man: You Lincoln Loud?

Lincoln: (monotone) Yeah.

Delivery Man: This came for you, I need you to sign here.

(Lincoln signs the clipboard handed to him by the Delivery Man, after he hands the clipboard back he gets a packaged box as the Delivery Man leaves)

Lincoln: (calls out) Hey guys, I think one of you guys won another trophy!

(The other sisters walk downstairs and approach Lincoln)

Luna: Open it dude, see who it's for.

(Lincoln opens the package and pulls out a trophy with a comic book on it)

Lincoln: (confused) What the... (reads the label) To Lincoln Loud, Best New Comic?

Luan: (smiles) Lincoln, You've won a trophy!

Lincoln: I don't get it, I didn't enter any contest for this?

Leni: We entered you in the contest.

Lincoln: (sighs) You know what, forget it. I didn't do anything to earn this so... (puts the trophy down until he notices his homemade comic in the package) Oh my gosh, (smiles) it's one of my comics!

Luna: Don't be mad bro, but we entered one of your comics in the contest.

Lincoln: I'm still a little confused, why did you do that?

Lori: Because Lincoln, we found out about the comics you were making in your spare time. After reading one of them, we learned that you do have something that makes you stand out in this family; creativity.

Luan: So when we heard about the contest, we just had to enter this comic in it so the world can see just how talented you really are.

Luna: But most importantly, (kneels down to Lincoln) so that you can finally have an accomplishment that you've truly earned.

(Lincoln looked at his sisters as he gave a great big smile and tears of joy started to slowly come out. He hugged Luna tightly)

Lincoln: (sniffs) I'm sorry for refusing the hug you tried to give me.

Luna: It's okay bro, I'm sorry for how i acted towards.

Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa: We're sorry too.

(The rest of the sisters join the hug as they all smile happy to have Lincoln back to how he was)

Lincoln: Now I need to take care of a few things, first.

(Lincoln picks up his trophy he won for the contest and put it on his spot in the Trophy case)

Lincoln: (smiles) I did it, my first ever real trophy. And now...

(Lincoln goes to the computer and goes to his embarrassing video he uploaded of himself)

Lincoln: Time to delete this for good. (deletes the video)

Computer: DELETED.

The End

Trivia

 * The idea for this rewrite came to me one day while I was at work, and I thought about Making the Case and how it should've gone. So the very next day, I got started writing in the morning and finished very late at night.
 * My first re-written episode.
 * Some of the story elements were inspired by the fanfic Inadequate.
