User blog:007Jamesdean/Fool Me Twice (Done My Way)

Note: This takes place before The Light Shines forth.

It was March 31st and tomorrow was the most feared day in the Loud House: April 1st, A.K.A. April Fools Day; The Day where Luan tortures her family with deadly pranks that can land people in the hospital and she gets a good laugh from all of their pain.

[A Bus stops in the middle of a street and Lincoln comes out, wearing a coat, a hat, and a glasses with a fake mustache, he then hides behind a dumpster, then in a tree, (which he accidentally falls out of) then he rides a scooter to a local highway.]

Lincoln: [Makes a bird call] Ca-ca! Ca-ca! [The Loud family sans Luan appears out of their hiding places in their diguises]

Lynn Sr.: [slowly and with an affected deep voice] What animal does Mary have?

Lincoln: [also with an affected voice] A lamb with the fleece as white as snow.

[The Loud Family, sans Lincoln, sighs in relief and they remove their disguises]

Lynn Sr.: Oh, good. It's really you, son. Are you sure Luan didn't follow you?

Lincoln: Definitely. I took 4 different buses. Plus, I've got Clyde doing some surveillance on her.

[At Sunset Canyon retirement home, Luan is entertaining the elders, with Clyde disguised an elder, monitoring Luan.]

Lynn Sr.: Great! Now let's get down to business. April Fools day is tomorrow, and we still don't have a plan to stop Luan from pranking our butts off! So, who's got an idea?

Lori: Oh, Bobby said we could hide in the basement of the bodega, we just have to watch out for the rat traps...and the asbestos.

Rita: [unimpressed] You're really selling it, honey.

Me: Asbestos is poisonous insulation and it can destroy you.

Eddy: I had no idea that my girlfriend can cause all sorts of deadly pranks like this.

Varie: It's no pretty picnic Eddy.

Lincoln: There's an island off the southern tip of Guam. You can only get to it by submarine.

Lynn: [Imitates a buzzing sound] We don't have passports, Stinkin'!

Linka: Yeah.

Me: Guam is way too far away from here guys. Plus we have to worry about Typhoons in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Lisa: Pending some grant money, I could build a ship that could take us to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons.

Varie: That's way too risky.

Ed: Going to Europa would be cool.

Edd: I agree. I've always wanted to study Jupiter's Icy moon.

Lana: Or we can dig a system of tunnels under the house.

Woody: That would be really cool. I'm not much of a digger though.

Leni: Why don't we just ask Luan to stop, but like, REALLY nicely?

Jessie: It's not gonna work Leni.

Laney: Guys! You're missing the point! For far too long we let Luan make us her Pranking Targets! I'd say we prank her back!

Lori: Laney! You're literally forgetting the last time we did that. Luan just picked herself up after we grounded her and she vowed to get revenge.

Me: I remember.

Laney: I know but maybe it will be different this time. I've been doing some planning since last year. [Holds up some blueprints] Okay, so the boxing gloves will go here, then the raccoons will burst out through the bathtub, then we...

Lynn Sr.: Laney, please. Nothing we do will ever stop Luan. Maybe it's hopeless!

Lily: No! It will never be hopeless as long as we work together!

[A movie producer appears]

Producer: Excuse me, do you folks mind? We're trying to shoot a movie here.

Me: Oh sorry sir.

[The family walk away]

Lola: Yeah guys! Outta the shot! [Lola poses] Okay, I'm ready for my close up!

Producer: Sorry, little girl, you need to get outta the shot, too. We're filming a dangerous stunt.

Lola: [Scoffs] Your loss!

[She walks away as well]

Director: And...ACTION!

''[A man in a red suit and matching motorcycle come crashing through a boarded window on a high speed chase, and leaps over an area full of police cars with an explosion following suite. He crash lands to the ground.]''

Director: CUT!!!

''[The man recovers from the crash, and removes his helmet. His appearance is similar to Lynn Sr.'s.]''

Lynn: Man, that guy can really take a beating!

Leni: He looks just like Dad!

Lynn Sr.: Too bad I can't just hire him to take all of Luan's pranks for me.

[Everyone stares at Lynn Sr.]

Lynn Sr.: I wasn't being serious.

Me: You know Mr. Lynn that's not a bad idea.

Lincoln: Yeah Dad, maybe that's the perfect plan! We hire a bunch of stunt doubles to take all the hits for us, and we get off pain free.

Varie: Yeah that's brilliant.

Laney: But Lincoln. What about our doubles? We don't really want them to suffer Luan's terrible pranks.

Lincoln: It'll be fine Laney. Besides, you haven't a pretty good job stopping Luan. This plan is our only shot.

Me: Yeah. Lets do it.

[The family talks it over and agrees to the plan]

Leni: Wow, these doubles look just like us!

Rita: No, honey. Those are the doubles. [Points towards the actual stunt doubles]

Leni: Oh, well, they're good too.

Me: It's like looking at yourselves in the mirror.

Lynn Sr.: So, uh, what's this gonna cost me?

[Lynn Sr.'s stunt double hands him the bill]

Lynn Sr.: [Gasps] Is this in dollars?!

I look at the bill.

Me: That's considered small pocket change to me.

Lincoln: I don't understand. Why is my double old?

Linka: Mine too.

Lynn Sr's stunt double: You're 11 and you have white hair. I did the best I could.

Lincoln's stunt double: I came out of retirement for this gig. These days, I mostly just sit around reading in my underwear.

Lincoln: Never mind, he's perfect.

Varie: Got to give them an "A" for effort.

Jessie: Agreed.

Lynn Sr.: Okay, famo. Now that everyone's got a double, it's time to teach them how to look and act just like us. We gotta work fast! Luan gets home at 5, and if she finds the house empty... [Looks at his double] Are you picking up on this? I talk with my hands. Big hand talker right here.

[Later, the Loud Family are teaching the doubles what to do and how to act like them]

Lana: Really get that mud up in your face. Don't be afraid to eat a little.

Lisa: Now in addition to English, I speak Mandarin, Latin, Swedish, and West Cost Rap.

Rita: So, this is the novel I'm working on. In case Luan asks you about it, you probably read the whole thing tonight.

Laney: [Shows her double her paintings] Okay, so here's all my paintings. As you can tell I am a great artist.

Laney's Stunt Double: Well can't you tell me? Since I'm trying to be you and all.

Laney: Oh, well. Alright...

Leni: Okay, so let's see the walk.

[Leni's stunt double attempts to imitate Leni's walking motion]

Leni: Almost, but you forgot part of it.

[Leni walks and crashes into the wall; Leni's double repeats this]

Lincoln: First thing in the morning, I usually rush to the bathroom to beat the crowd.

Lincoln's double: Oh, same here! There're some pushy blue hairs at the senior center!

Lincoln: Then, before school, I'll sometimes stop for a Flipee. Watermelon Lime's my favorite.

Lincoln's double: It's my favorite flavor of gelatin!

Lynn Sr.: [Narrating] Okay gang, here's the plan, at Midnight, we sneak out of the house, and switch places with the doubles. They'll take it from there. J.D. Varie, Ed, Double D, Eddy and Jessie will be watching the house from the castle tower at the Knudson estate. ''[Rita and Lynn Sr. go to wake up the kids. When they go to wake up Luna, Lynn steps in to help.]''

Lynn: I've got this! [Makes a paper airplane, and throws it at Luna.]

[The Louds sneak outside to switch places with the doubles]

Lynn Sr.: Good luck to you guys! Are you sure you're ready?

Lynn Sr.'s double: Don't worry about us, we're gonna be A-Okay.

''[Morning. Inside the garage, the Louds peek out the garage, Lynn Sr. is making pancakes, Lily is sitting in her high chair, and Lisa is looking over a giant monitor.]''

Lisa: "Family, gather 'round." [the family walks up to the monitor] "We can follow the action via the cameras I installed in everyone's room last year..." [the family look at Lisa with suspicion, and Lisa attempts to correct her blurt.] "Er... last night." [notices something] "Oh! We have movement in the twin's room!" [Lisa hits a button labeled "CAM 8", and the monitor shows Lana and Lola's stunt doubles about to leave the bedroom.]

Lana and Lola: "Here it comes!"

[Lana and Lola's stunt doubles exit the room, but mysteriously, nothing happens.]

Lana: "Huh. I thought for sure Luan was going to nail them with a bucket of grease."

Lola: "Or a sock full of quarters!"

Lisa: "Old Lincoln is on the move... slowly."

''[Lisa switches the monitor to showcase Lincoln's room. Lincoln's stunt double sits up, cracking his back.]''

Lincoln: Oh, man, I can't watch. What's happening? Did he get injured?"

[Lincoln's stunt double walks out of the room, and still, nothing happens.]

Rita: "Well, he did hurt his back, but it seems unrelated."

Luna: [suspicious] "What's the dealio? Why aren't they getting pranked?"

Lucy: "Any why are they leaving the house?"

Me: (On the Radio) Knudson Watchdog to Loud Birds over.

Picks up a walkie talkie.

Lynn Sr.: Loud Bird Sr. here over.

Me: Something is not right. Your doubles aren't being pranked. I can see them going out of the house. Over

''[On the monitor, each one of the stunt doubles is seen leaving the house. Realizing something, the family gasps, and quickly rush to the garage door, and peek out the windows, seeing the doubles head off in different directions.]''

Lynn Sr.: [peeved] "What the heck?! I paid good money for them to get their butts pranked off!"

[Rita has a sudden realization.]

Rita: "Wait a minute, I get it. Luan's prank was to not prank us at all."

Lincoln: What do you mean, Mom?"

Rita: Ha! She knew we'd go crazy trying to protect ourselves, so she just let us chase our tails."

Lori: "Oh, you're right. She  is  good."

[The family laughs, realizing the trouble they went through.]

Lynn Sr.: "Well, I may have burned through all our savings, but at least it's over!"

Luan: [off-screen] "Over? It's just getting started!" [the family turns around, and scream in horror when they see Luan on the monitor, looking on devilishly.] "You know, family, I had a whole different plan in mind for today, but I'll save that for next year, because once I saw the amazing doubles you guys found, I was inspired to do something even better. So stay tuned, because the rest of this day is going to be doubly special!" [laughs evilly.] "Get it? You don't now, but you will."

[The monitor shuts off.]

Lucy: [worried] "What is she talking about?"

Lynn: [panicking] Ah! Ah! Ah! We gotta stop her!" [she tries to open the door, but it won't budge.] "She welded the door shut!"

[Lincoln and Lana try the windows, but they too won't budge.]

Lana: "And the windows!"

Lori: "I'll try the garage door. Who's got the remote?"

Leni: [peeking out the garage window] "Oh, Luan does, she's outside!"

''[The family rush to the garage door, and peek out the windows. They scream in horror upon seeing Luan with the garage remote. Luan, on her jester's chair, turns around, revealing to have Cliff on her lap.]''

Luan: "Don't look at me, look at the monitors! I put cameras everywhere so you can enjoy the show. Ta-ta!" [Luan tries to roll away but she gets stuck] What the? [The Chair won't budge] Well this is embarassing...

Laney's stunt double(?): So is this! [Throws a pie at Luan's face]

Me: Whoa! We got some action guys.

Eddy: Laney's double nailed her good.

Varie: She sure did.

Lynn Sr.: What is Laney's Stunt Double doing?

Luan: You? But I thought I sent you to Joey's house! [Luan gets off her chair but she slips on a banana peel and down the garage road just as a truck full of trampolines passed by. She bounced off one and landed by the front door]

Varie: A truck full of Trampolines? That's unusual.

Jessie: Yeah.

Luan: Grr! [Stands up] Listen you! The family may have paid you, but I gave you instructions to go over and humiliate Laney and...

A trap rope snags Luan's leg and pulls her inside the house. Edd switched to the monitors and we saw Luan getting hit by numerous pranks. Luan first crashed into the stove where she was mauled by raccoons, then a punching glove punched Luan into the basement and she landed in a bunch of pies. Then a rope pulled her back upstairs and into the living room where she got stuck on sticky flypaper. Then she was pulled upstairs where she got pelted with flour, garbage, rotten eggs and dust from the vacuum, and sprayed by a skunk. We all laughed as we witnessed this through our monitors as Luan was being pelted and pulverized by other pranks offscreen. She landed back on her chair completely, bruised, gooped, tattered, skunked and shocked. Laney's Stunt Double (?) grabbed the remote and opened the Garage door. Me, Varie, Jessie and the Eds and the Louds came out and cheered.

Me: That was awesome!

Varie: Luan sure got a taste of her own medicine.

Lincoln: That was amazing! I can't believe that Laney's double was such a pranking genius.

Jessie: Me neither. She is awesome.

Lynn Sr.: How can we ever thank you stranger that looks like our daughter?

Laney's Stunt Double (?): No thanks needed dad.

Lynn Sr.: Uh okay. You can stop pretending now.

Laney: Who's pretending? [Laney wipes off the freckles revealing it was the real her. We all gasped]

Siblings: Laney? [Laney passed the tissue to her double and wipes off the paint revealing her freckles]

Lola: But how the heck did you pull it off? You were supposed to swap with your stunt double like the rest of us!

Me: That's what we're wondering too.

Laney: Simple... [Flashback to Last night; Voice over] Just as we all left with our stunt doubles in our places, I got a call from my double saying she overheard Luan's plans for April Fools. She was going to use our stunt doubles to humiliate us. And that wasn't a joke at all, more like incredibly cruel and horrible. [Cuts to Laney placing traps all over the house] That's when I got to work on my ultimate plan to prank Luan back a thousand fold... [Cuts to Laney shaking hands with her double and they walked away separately] And then I undid my switcheroo. [End Flashback] And I did it! I finally gave Luan a taste of her own medicine! [To Luan] How does it feel Luan? To be painfully messed and humiliated for amusement? Not good huh?

We were amazed.

Me: (Amazed) Laney that was pure genius!

Varie: You beat Luan at her own game!

Edd: I agree. She used Reverse Psychology! [Pulls out a book on Reverse Psychology] We tried this before with the Kanker's. {Reads a verse] "In order to defeat your Enemy, you must become your enemy".

Laney: That's right.

Eddy: You sure showed her Laney.

Ed: That was cool!

Woody: That was impressive Lanes.

Me: You were as sly as a fox Laney.

Laney: Thanks.

Luan: I have to admit it Laney. You've really got into this pranking game. I didn't even know you had it in you.

Laney: Well I did. And what I did taught you a lesson. That your pranks are insane and harmful, even to your own family. And when you tried to humiliate my family, that was a step too far! I did this to you to show you how much your April Fools Day Rampages hurt each and everyone of us! To make sure that you never go this far to prank us ever again!

All: YEAH!

Me: That prank you were about to pull was not funny at all Luan. It was downright cruel and evil.

Woody: Yeah Luan.

Eddy: I can never stay mad at you for your bad pranks Luan but Laney sure got you did she?

Luan: (Laughs) She sure did. Look guys, I'm sorry for all that I've done to you. I promise to tone it down next year.

Lily: Let me check something here.

Lily checked her phone and discovered another revelation.

Lily: Wait a minute. It's not April 1st. It's August. She duped us again.

Everyone checked their cell phones and saw that Lily was right.

Me: Just like last time with that hotel death trap.

Linka: But what about the rest of the doubles.

Laney: Oh I don't think you need to worry about them. I called them all and rerouted their destinations. They're now talking all of your places for the day. But hopefully you've learned your lesson Luan.

Lynn Sr.: I agree. You're in trouble young lady.

Rita: You're grounded for 2 months and no more pranks!

Luan: Aw man.

Me: Lets hope that you've learned your lesson Luan. That your pranks on April Fools are deadly.

Jessie: That's right.

Varie: Yeah.

Me: And don't even think about crossing your fingers behind your back.

I made the finger sign that said I'm watching you.

THE END

Another Fanfiction Complete

I saw this episode 3 months ago and the prnak Luan pulled was not funny at all. It was downright cruel and evil. Being humiliated like that is breaking someones dignity. Kinghammer's twist in the second half of this episode was genius and funny and was awesome. Laney sure gave Luan a run for her money and beat her at her own game. She used the saying "In order to defeat your enemy, you must become your enemy" which is a famous phrase from the famous Chinese Military Philosopher Sun Tzu. I can tell that Laney knows this phrase all too well because of how she can fight against Luan's pranks. Let me know what you all think.

See you all next time.
