Synopsis
Memories of Leni and Luan's childhood.

Story
Prologue While in the attic, Leni finds an old memories book and opens up the book and sees pics of herself and Luan when they were young. She then begins to have memories of having fun together when they were little.

Memories of 2005 (Before Lincoln was born) Leni is teaching Luan how to ride a bike. Luan puts on her helmet and gets on the bike.

Leni: Are you ready to learn to ride a bike?

Luan: Yeah!

Leni: You hold onto the handlebars like this. [Luan does what Leni told her.]

Luan: Okay.

Leni: And you get to push the ringy thingy. [Luan rings the bicycle bell]

Luan: [giggles] Fun!

Leni: Ready to ride?

Luan: Yeah, Leni!

Leni: Okay. I will help you.

[Leni helps Luan get going on her bike]

Luan: Yay! [she and Leni both laugh.] Go faster!

Leni: Okay!

[Leni pushes Luan faster but she pushes so fast, she trips and Luan goes real fast on her bike.]

Luan: Whoa! Too fast! [she rides out of control and crashes into the garbage cans. Leni then rushes to Luan and helps her up off the ground.]

Leni: Luan, are you okay?

Luan: [begins crying & holding her knee] Ow! I hurt my knee!

Leni: Aw, poor Luan! [she hugs Luan] Let's go inside and I will make your boo boo feel better.

[Leni brings Luan inside and to the bathroom and rubs her wound with salve. Luan continues to cry and then Leni puts a band aid on Luan's knee & kisses it.]

Leni: All better.

Luan: Sniff. Thank you, Leni. [she hugs Leni]

Leni: You're welcome, Luan. [she hugs Luan back and pregnant Rita enters]

Rita: Aw, that's sweet. [she sees Luan's hurt knee] Oh my! what happened to your knee, Luan?

Luan: I fell off my bike and hurt my knee but Leni made it all better now.

Rita: Well thank goodness. That was very kind of you, Leni. You are a good big sister.

Leni: Thank you, Mommy. [Rita pats Leni's head and walks away]

Another time, the girls are playing outside while Lori sits on the porch drinking lemonade. Luna, Leni and Luan play jump rope. Luna and Leni move the rope while Luan jumps and Lynn bounces her basketball.

Lynn: Somebody play basketball with me!

Luna: We're playing jump rope right now.

Lynn: Lori, play basketball with me!

Lori: No, I don't play basketball.

Lynn: Aw, come on! You all need to be like me and play with balls!

Dark clouds then begin to fill the sky and cover the sun.

Leni: Is it getting to be nighttime already? [Rita opens the door]

Rita: Come inside, girls. A thunderstorm is coming. [the girls come inside and it begins raining and thunder strikes, causing the girls to scream and hug their parents]

Lynn Sr.: It's alright, girls. You're safe. The thunder won't hurt you.

Lynn: It's scary! [she begins crying and Lynn Sr. picks her up]

Lynn Sr.: There, there Lynn Jr. Dry those tears. [he wipes Lynn Jr.'s tears with his sweater]

Rita: I will make some macaroni and cheese for dinner and we can watch a movie to get our minds off the storm.

Lori: Oh boy! Mac and cheese!

Leni: Mac and cheese is delicious!

Luna: It's one of my favorites!

Luan: Mine too!

Lynn: And mine!

[The family ate their mac and cheese dinner and then watched a movie. After the movie was over, the girls yawned.]

Lynn Sr.: Well, it's time for bed.

Girls [in unison]: Okay, Daddy. [The girls walk upstairs while Lynn Sr. carries Lynn Jr. The girls brush their teeth and they get into their beds and Lynn Sr. tells them a bedtime story then kisses them all for goodnight. Leni is sleeping in her bed & thunder strikes and Leni wakes up and then Luan runs into her room in tears.]

Leni: What's wrong, Luan?

Luan: [crying] I fear thunder!

Leni: Aw, come here Luan. [Luan hugs Leni] Why don't you sleep with me tonight?

Luan: Okay. [she climbs into Leni's bed.] Can you read me a story?

Leni: Sure. [Leni reads a book to Luan] ...And they lived happily ever after. The end. [Luan falls asleep and Leni turns out the lamp and kisses Luan goodnight and falls asleep.
