Lincoln must prove he's worthy of being friends with Sophia when he learns that her grandfather is Tetherby, so Maria and Zoe help train him for his dinner party coming up.

Special thanks to YoshiRocker13 for helping me write the script.

Script
(Opens with Sophia and Lincoln in Sophia's car as she arrives at the front gate of her place, which turns out to be a mansion)

Lincoln: This is your house? It's so big!

Sophia: Yeah! I live with my grandfather, He's really rich. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have had a car.

(The gates open as Sophia drives in and parks her car outside of the front steps, a butler shows up and opens the doors for Sophia and Lincoln)

Butler: Good to see you madam Sophia, I'll park your vehicle in the garage for you.

Sophia: Thank you sir.

(The butler gets in Sophia's car and drives it to the garage besides them, as the garage door opens Lincoln spots a limo inside that looks awfully familiar to him)

Lincoln: Wait a minute... That limo looks very familiar.

Sophia: Have you seen it before?

Lincoln: It reminds me of a limo owned by this jerk named Tetherby.

Sophia: T-Tetherby?

Lincoln: Yeah, he turned me into a snob and he wouldn't even help me out when I was in trash.

Sophia: (laughs nervously) Wow, sounds mean.

(The two enter inside the mansion as Lincoln is in shock of how nice Sophia's place is)

Lincoln: Wow! This place is amazing!

Sophia: (smiles) Thanks Lincoln. Me and my grandfather had to spend a lot of money for this place.

Lincoln: You know Sophia, I have to ask, how come you live with your grandfather and not your parents?

Sophia: (sighs) Look Lincoln, I need you to promise not to tell anyone besides me, Maria, and Zoe. It's a really personal thing that happened to me and I don't really tell others about this.

Lincoln: Oh okay, What is it?

Sophia: My parents aren't in my life anymore, when I was eight years old I was sleeping at my grandfather's mansion for the night when one of his butlers got a phone call saying that my parents were... were... hit by an eighteen wheeler truck head on and died from the car accident. This was after my parents let me stay with my grandfather while they had one night off to go on a date, something they haven't done in years because... (voice breaking) of me. All their time was devoted to taking care of me and making sure I had all the love and care in the world as their only daughter, and suddenly they were gone in my life. I still remember Rick, the butler who parked my car outside, telling me the news the next morning while my grandfather was busy ignoring the whole thing to focus on his fancy club he had just set up, not even caring of my parents death for crying out loud! And the last thing I remember was looking confused as I cried in my hands in utter shock of the news! (begins crying)

Lincoln: (upset) Oh Sophia, that sounds horrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

Sophia: (crying) W-well now you know w-why I told you n-not to tell anyone, it's a really sad p-part of my life t-that I can n-never let go of!

(Lincoln hugged Sophia tightly to try and comfort her)

Lincoln: (pats her back) I'm not really good with this kind of stuff, but I feel really bad for you Sophia. It's sad to hear what happened to your parents...

Sophia: (sniffs) Thanks Lincoln, I'm so lucky to have you and the girls in my life. (lightly smiles)

(A butler shows up in front of them holding a box of tissues)

Butler: Would you like a tissue madam Sophia?

Sophia: (sniffs) Y-Yes please. (takes a tissue) T-Thank you. (blows into the tissue)

Lincoln: Why don't you show me what you like about this place? That might cheer you up.

Sophia: (sniffs) S-Sure. Let me show you.

(Sophia walks around the mansion showing Lincoln all the rooms in her place, which included a big indoor pool, a large video game room, a home theater room, and a recreational center outside with a basketball and tennis court. Sophia looks to see Lincoln holding her hand the whole time as she smiles)

Sophia: Lincoln, Can I ask why you're holding my hand?

Lincoln: I'm just making sure you're okay.

Sophia: (smiles) It's adorable.

Lincoln: (blushes) Uhh, you got some cool things here.

Sophia: Thanks! I've got some really cool stuff.

(A butler shows up in front of them)

Butler: Madam Sophia, your grandfather Lord Tetherby as just woken up from his nap and is on his way down to see how your day at school went.

(Sophia suddenly went wide eyed after the butler mentioned her grandfather's name)

Lincoln: (shocked) WHAT?! Tetherby is your GRANDFATHER?!

Sophia: (laughs nervously) Yeah, I uhh... didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd freak out.

(Tetherby then approaches Sophia and Lincoln from behind as they turn around)

Tetherby: (yawns) Ah my lovely granddaughter Sophia has returned from school.

Sophia: (laughs nervously) Hey Granddad, I hope you enjoyed your nap.

Tetherby: Well I needed the rest so I can plan my high class party I'm hosting this Saturday, (notices Lincoln) and might I ask who your little friend is?

Sophia: (nervously) Uhh, this is Lincoln. He's one of my best friends, I think he remembers who you are.

Lincoln: (glares at Tetherby) Oh I remember him alright.

Tetherby: His white hair does remind me of someone, this little devilish child who thought he had the nerve to interrupt my party by showing up in muck.

Lincoln: Yeah, and guess what?! I AM that child!

Tetherby: (gasps) Oh my! Sophia dear what did this hoodlum boy do to trick you into entering my establishment?

Sophia: He didn't trick me Granddad, Lincoln's one of my best friends.

Tetherby: No granddaughter of mine should be seen with such a disgusting young boy like this, I'm afraid he'll have to leave at once. (snaps his fingers)

(Two butlers show up behind Lincoln and pick him up leading him out the front door)

Lincoln: Wait! This is insane!

Sophia: Granddad! Don't kick Lincoln out! He's my friend!

(The two butlers open the doors and toss Lincoln out the gate as he lands face first on the ground)

Tetherby: I'm only trying to keep you happy sweetie, now come along your tennis lessons start in half an hour.

(Tetherby walks back inside as Sophia glares at him for kicking Lincoln out. Lincoln gets up as the gates are closed and he can't get back inside)

Lincoln: (sighs) Great! Now I can't even get back inside!

(Lincoln sadly walks away until he bumps into Maria and Zoe shortly after)

Maria: Lincoln, there you are!

Zoe: We were wondering how long it would take before you get kicked out.

Lincoln: Well it didn't take very long. I shouldn't be surprised though, I've had a very bad history with Tetherby.

Zoe: Really, how so?

Lincoln: It's a long story. One day I got to ride in a limo, and Tetherby invited me to his mansion. He turned me into this snob, and after I got kicked out of my limo, he wouldn't even let me back into his mansion!

Maria: That stinks dude.

Zoe: Well to be fair we don't really have a great history with Tetherby either.

(Flashbacks to 5 years ago as Maria and Zoe were carried by two butlers each and are tossed out the gate landing face first on the ground, similar to Lincoln)

Zoe: Well to be fair it did last longer than I thought.

Maria: (groans) Ugh!

(Cuts back to present)

Maria: We had to kiss serious butt with Tetherby in order to keep being friends with Sophia outside of school.

Lincoln: How?

Zoe: Sophia invited us to his high class party he had that week, so we had to dress and act to impress.

Maria: That was the only time you'll ever see me in a dress and high heels.

Lincoln: (sighs) I really want to stay friends with Sophia, but it's going to be tough with Tetherby in the way.

(Suddenly Lincoln see's Sophia sneaking around the gate and approaching him and the girls)

Sophia: (to the girls) Hey guys. (to Lincoln) Hey Lincoln, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for what happened.

Lincoln: It's not your fault Sophia, it was just your granddad.

Sophia: (sighs) I know, my granddad is a real pain in the neck.

Maria: Kinda of like when we first met him and his butlers tossed us out.

Zoe: Ahhh good times.

Sophia: Hey Lincoln, Do you want to come to my granddad's high class party on Saturday? I managed to convince him to let you come.

Lincoln: Oh, sweet!

Sophia: (nervously) But he says you have to act more proper and formal.

Lincoln: (shocked) What?! How am I going to do that?!

Tetherby: (from inside the mansion) Sophia darling, where did you go?

Sophia: (to Lincoln) Uhh, look, I gotta go. I'm sure you'll figure something out. See ya at the party! (quickly hugs Lincoln) Bye girls! (runs off)

Maria and Zoe: Bye Sophia!

(Lincoln looks down frustrated)

Lincoln: (groans) Great! Now I have to act all formal and proper for the party! How the heck am I going to do that?!

Maria: Uh dude, did you not hear what we said earlier? I had to wear a dress and high heels at Tetherby's party so I can stay friends with Sophia.

Zoe: (confused) So we should dress Lincoln as a girl?

Maria: (faceplams) No, what I'm saying is that we can teach him how to act like a formal guy at this party since we did attend one before.

Zoe: Ohhhh, that makes more sense.

Lincoln: Wait, so you guys are going to teach me how to act classy?

Maria: Yup, we'll teach you how to be a classic man.

Zoe: Just enough so that Tetherby can at least tolerate you to be in his mansion and stay with Sophia.

Lincoln: Sweet! This is my only chance to hang out with Sophia at her mansion.

Maria: Let's just hope nothing goes wrong so we can all still hang out together.

Zoe: (puts her hand on Lincoln's shoulder) Are you sure you wanna do this?

Lincoln: Of course I do, It's my only chance to hang out with Sophia.

Maria: (smiles) Then let's get started!

(Cuts back to the Loud house as Lincoln was in his room, with Zoe measuring his arms and legs with a ruler, while Maria was next to them holding a clipboard)

Maria: Got the measurements Zoe?

Zoe: Yup! I'll go tell Leni to make the suit for Lincoln. (walks out of the room)

Maria: While she takes care of that, let's get started with what you need to do at this party.

Lincoln: Alright, cool.

Maria: For starters you'll need to stand up straight. (hits Lincoln's behind with the clipboard making him stand up straight)

Lincoln: So, like this?

Maria: You got it! Next you'll have to use more proper dialogue and bigger vocabulary words besides "sweet" or "great" when talking to these people, pretend I just complimented your hair.

Lincoln: Okay, uhh... (thinks) How should I say it. (clears his throat) Why thank you madam, my hair is most impressive indeed.

Maria: (smiles) Now you're getting it, finally you'll have to walk straight with one arm tucked into your jacket to look more classy and give a facial expression that looks like you're kinda glaring at someone but your sucking on your lower lip too.

Lincoln: Alright, let me give this a shot.

(Lincoln puts one arm into his jacket and pulls the face Maria was talking about)

Maria: (giggles) You look so cute with that facial expression.

Lincoln: (blushes) Aww, thanks Maria.

Maria: Ah ha! That was a test, blushing over cute comments makes the people at the party think you're a little child. Make sure you don't do that.

Lincoln: Oh right! I need to remember that! Let me try that again. (stands up straight) What a lovely compliment, thank you madam.

Maria: (smiles) Perfect.

(Zoe comes back inside holding a full suit)

Zoe: Leni has the suit ready, time to try it on and see how your look in it.

Lincoln: Alright, time to start looking fancy.

10 MINUTES LATER

(Maria and Zoe were waiting outside the hallway when Lincoln came out his room with his new suit on to show them)

Zoe: So, how do you feel?

Lincoln: It's a little tight, but otherwise not that bad.

Maria: Now walk towards us, but have it in the stance I told you about.

(Lincoln tries to walk over to Maria and Zoe in a stance)

Maria: Remember; stand up straight, one arm in your jacket, and have your facial expression down the way I showed you.

(While Lincoln was walking, he stood up straight, put his arm in his jacket, and did the face Maria was talking about)

Zoe: (smiles) Wow, he's looking like a million bucks. (to Lincoln) Good afternoon Lincoln.

Lincoln: (to Zoe) Why good afternoon Zoe, such a wonderful day to see you.

Zoe: Thank you so much Lincoln.

Maria: Our training is almost done, but I think we should try this out on some others who don't see you as a classic man.

Lincoln: Oh, like who?

(Suddenly Lori walks in the hallway and waits to use the bathroom while on her phone)

Maria: (to Lincoln) Isn't that Lori, the one who's hard to talk with since she acts like such a jerk to you?

Lincoln: (sighs) Yeah... That's her.

Zoe: Why don't you try talking proper and fancy with her?

Maria: This is also a good test to show you having to deal with someone like Lori talking down on you, the goal is to not give into her insults.

Lincoln: Hmm, good idea. Let's do it.

(Lincoln walks up proper to Lori who notices this and smirks)

Lori: (smirks) Is this some kind of new plan you're literally working on with us? Cause it looks stupid.

Lincoln: Good afternoon Lori, you're looking rather dashing indeed.

Lori: Dashing? What are you some of kind of kid trying to act like his dad? (laughs)

Lincoln: No dear sister, I am just seeing what you were doing today. How has your day been Lori?

Lori: (laughs) It's better know that I'm seeing how stupid you're looking today.

Lincoln: Despite your negativity, I'm very pleased you never hide the truth.

Lori: (laughs) Ugh okay then grandpa!

(Leni leaves the bathroom as Lori walks in continuing to laugh)

Leni: (to Lincoln) Ohhh! Little boy you look exactly like my little baby brother Lincoln.

Lincoln: (to Leni) Ahh, but dear Leni, I am your dearest brother. How lovely to see you Leni.

Leni: (smiles) How cute! You look like the man on the Monopoly box, how did you jump out of the game?

Lincoln: Dearest Leni you must understand. I am not this man you speak of, I am Lincoln, dressed up in this fancy suit.

Leni: It's a nice suit you have on, so adorable! (pinches Lincoln's cheek)

Lincoln: Uhh... And you look beautiful too. Lovely outfit you're wearing.

Leni: It's nice and all that, but your suit looks totes cute on you Linky, mostly cause I made it just to please you.

Lincoln: And for that, I thank you for that. A wonderful thing for you to do for me. (bows down to her)

(Leni bows down to Lincoln as well)

Leni: (giggles) Such a gentleman. (walks back into her room)

Zoe: (giggles) That was so sweet I almost got sick.

Maria: (to Lincoln) Looks like you can handle insults from Lori and not blush up like a little child from Leni, there's only one more thing left in training.

Lincoln: And what's that?

(Cuts to Lincoln having a tea party with Lola in her room)

Lola: So dear brother, what do you think of Mr. Sprinkles new hat? (points to the teddy bear next to Lincoln)

Lincoln: Oh, I think her hat looks absolutely dashing. Quite a fine hat indeed.

Lola: (gasps) I was just thinking the same thing!

(Lincoln continues to endure the tea party with Lola, as it cuts to an hour later when Lincoln walks out of Lola's room and approaches Maria and Zoe)

Maria: Alright be honest, that tea party was boring wasn't it?

Lincoln: (groans) It was SO boring! But at least it was better than putting up with Lori being a jerk.

Zoe: Well you'll have to put up with that for the next four hours if you want to see Sophia again with the party on saturday.

Lincoln: (sighs) It's going to be painful, but I'll do it. So Sophia can still be my friend!

Maria: Perfect, looks like our training here is done.

Zoe: If anything ends up happening at the party, call us and we can help you. (rubs Lincoln's head)

Lincoln: No problem. (smiles) Thanks guys. Or should I say, (stands up straight) I thank you for the lovely assistance. (giggles)

Maria: (giggles) Why thank you young lad. (bows down to Lincoln)

Zoe: (giggles) And to you a good day. (bows down for Lincoln)

(Lincoln bows down to the two girls, then he hugs them)

Lincoln: Really, thank you.

Maria: (smiles) Of course dude.

(Cuts to Saturday night as Lincoln is getting ready for the party putting his suit on, he walks downstairs and hears the door knock, he opens it to find Sophia there in a short black dress with gold bracelets on her wrists and black high heels on)

Lincoln: Wow, Sophia you look-! (clears his throat) I mean, greetings Sophia, you look lovely tonight.

Sophia: (smiles) Thanks Lincoln! I see Zoe and Maria must've helped you act fancy.

Lincoln: Yeah, it wasn't easy, but I managed to do it.

Sophia: Sweet! You'll be just fine for the party. Come on, let's go.

(Lincoln gets into Sophia's car as they begin to drive to her mansion)

Sophia: Hey Lincoln, I have to say I really appreciate you going to this party to impress my grandfather, even if he did kick you out and acted like a smug jerk.

Lincoln: It's all good Sophia. I just wanted to get on good terms with Tetherby just so I could continue hanging out with you at your mansion.

Sophia: I want that to, it's no fun being alone in my mansion without one of my best friends. (smiles)

Lincoln: (smiles) Exactly. I just hope this works.

(Sophia arrives at her mansion, where several limos are parked around the driveway making it impossible for Sophia to get in)

Sophia: (groans) Typical, the limos from the guests are so large that I can't even find anywhere to get in.

Lincoln: So where are you going to park?

Sophia: I already have a backup plan.

(Sophia ends up parking her car a mile down the road from her mansion in an empty parking space as she and Lincoln walk back towards her place)

Sophia: (sighs) Never expected to walk this far in my heels tonight, I just want to get through this stupid party already.

Lincoln: Don't worry Sophia, it'll be over before you know it.

Sophia: (smiles) Thanks Lincoln. (rubs his head)

(The two arrive back at the mansion as a butler blocks the front door)

Butler: Your invitations please.

(Sophia and Lincoln hand their invitations to the butler)

Sophia: Your invitations sir.

Butler: (reads them) Lovely, you may now enter the Tetherby establishment.

(The Butler opens the front doors as many people are surrounding the mansion, which are largely older men and women in fancy suits and dresses holding glasses that are filled with fancy frizz juice talking to each other)

Lincoln: Now this party looks rather splendid.

Sophia: Yeah, my grandfather wanted to make this as good looking as it can be.

(Tetherby approaches Lincoln and Sophia)

Tetherby: Ahh my lovely granddaughter has shown up, and I see she's managed to let her friend know what kind of party this would be.

Lincoln: Why of course. I must say this is a splendid looking party you have here.

Sophia: Don't worry granddad everything will go smoothly.

Tetherby: I know it will Sophia, (uses his cane to lightly hit Sophia from behind) stand up more straight dear my fellow guests want to see you looking more like a true Tetherby.

Sophia: (stands up straight) Y-Yes granddad.

Tetherby: Sometimes it's mighty difficult to keep everything in order, especially with the children, (to Lincoln) do you agree young chap?

Lincoln: Absolutely. All good citizens go through such difficult task.

Sophia: (in her head) Looks like Lincoln's really getting it.

Tetherby: Come child, I'll let you know about how beneficial this all is.

(Tetherby puts his arm around Lincoln and walks away with him leaving Sophia alone)

Sophia: (to herself) Oh boy, I hope nothing bad happens.

(Meanwhile, Lincoln and Tetherby are shown talking with an old man and his wife)

Old Man: Fascinating how much these kids are brainwashed by these illusions of fun.

Old Man's Wife: They actually believe consuming burgers and reading comics are considered fun, we'll never understand our son.

Tetherby: My granddaughter is the same, all she does is spend her time with her poor dirt friends attending an arcade, (to Lincoln) sad isn't it?

Lincoln: Yes, quite sad indeed. (in his head) My gosh, did I really just say that?

Tetherby: (to Lincoln) I'm quite curious to know how she ended up running into you, my former prodigy from so long ago?

Lincoln: Well, Sophia is friends with my dear sister Luna. It just so happened that the day she visited my home was the same day I ended up meeting her. Such a lovely girl she is.

Tetherby: She is, it's a shame she doesn't see it the same way you do. No matter how many new items I give her she always seems to have some kind of distance towards me, she just doesn't seem to understand the value of a present, am I right?

Lincoln: Absolutely.

(Tetherby and the other two laugh, Lincoln spots Sophia behind the old couple as she looks somewhat upset which concerns Lincoln)

Old Man: (to Lincoln) Something the matter young sport?

Lincoln: Hm? Oh, nothing at all. I was just thinking about something you wouldn't understand.

Tetherby: (to Lincoln) I've already taken up enough of your time, go on and enjoy the rest of my party.

Lincoln: Thank you sir.

(Tetherby and the old couple leave Lincoln as he looks around for Sophia in the crowd of people)

Lincoln: Excuse me, I'm just trying to-! Sophia! Where are you?!

(Lincoln goes into a hallway and hear's crying coming from the bathroom)

Lincoln: (worried) That sounds like Sophia!

(Lincoln spots Sophia walking out of the bathroom rubbing her eyes and sniffing as she suddenly see's Lincoln)

Sophia: (sniffs) Oh Lincoln, I didn't see you there.

Lincoln: Sophia? What's the matter? I saw you before, you looked upset.

Sophia: (sniffs) It's nothing Lincoln you're doing great out there my grandfather seems to really like you... (rubs her arm) a little too much actually.

Lincoln: Oh no... Was it something I said?

Sophia: No it's not, it's just that I overheard your conversation and all that stuff he was saying about me makes me feel like he doesn't want to know who I'm really like, instead he wants me to act more proper for his parties whenever I'm around just because I live here. (looks down) And his only way of making a connection with me is by buying me things, whether it's my car, my shoes, or this dress I'm wearing right now. (takes her bracelets off) These gold bracelets were one of the last things I ever have to remember my mom, but I didn't tell my grandfather or else he would replace them with something more expensive since he thinks he knows what makes me happy.

Lincoln: (sighs) Look, Sophia. I think you really need to tell your grandfather how you feel. Don't let anything stop you from telling the truth.

Sophia: I wish I could but he wouldn't understand, he's too focused on his wealth and parties to pay attention. Just like I told you before, he didn't even care at all about my parent's death, (sighs) let's just get back to the party. (sadly walks back into the party)

Lincoln: (upset) Alright... Let's go.

(As the party progresses, Lincoln decides to look around the mansion some more as he walks in Tetherby's library noticing how big it all is)

Lincoln: Whoa... This library is huge! Look at all these books!

(Suddenly a fly started to swirl around Lincoln's face annoying him)

Lincoln: (growls) Shoo fly! (swats) Go away!

(Lincoln continues to swat until he ends up hitting a sculpture that's the same height as him next to him, causing the sculpture to break in half, and it's revealed to be a sculpture of Tetherby)

Lincoln: (wide-eyed) Holy crud... I just broke a sculpture of Tetherby... (to the viewers) If anyone finds out about this, I'll be kicked out of the party! I gotta call Maria and Zoe!

(Cuts to Maria and Zoe hopping on a trampoline in Zoe's backyard)

Maria: Quick question dude, we've been hoping on this trampoline for almost a half hour, why is that?

Zoe: I don't know, I couldn't think of anything better to do tonight.

Zoe: Oh it's a phone call!

Maria: Well duh! Let's stop hopping and see who it is.

(Maria and Zoe stop hopping and sit down on the trampoline as Zoe answers the phone)

Zoe: (on the phone) Hey Lincoln, how's the party?

Lincoln: (freaking out) Look guys, it's going great, but now I'm in a seriously big problem. I was in Tetherby's library and I accidentally broke his sculpture!

Zoe: (gasps) Oh my gosh! That's not part of the plan!

Maria: Put the phone on speaker.

(Zoe puts her phone on speaker)

Zoe: So Lincoln, how badly broken is the sculpture?

Lincoln: It's broken in half! If I don't do something I'll be kicked out, and Tetherby will never let me hang out with Sophia ever again!

Maria: (sighs) Okay, maybe we can fix this somehow.

Zoe: My dad has some super hot glue inside, we can glue the sculpture back together.

Maria: That actually could work, only problem is that we need a way to get into the party.

(Lincoln looks up and notices an open skylight window from him)

Lincoln: There's a skylight window in the library room.

Zoe: My dad also has rope, plus there's a ladder at the mansion.

Maria: Seems risky, but alright, we'll be there in a little bit Lincoln.

Lincoln: Okay, thanks guys.

10 MINUTES LATER

(Maria and Zoe are sneaking around the Tetherby mansion as they spot the ladder leading up to the roof. Once they got to the top, they spot the skylight window open)

Maria: I wonder if Lincoln's in there.

(Maria and Zoe walk over and see Lincoln still in the library pacing around nervously)

Lincoln: (notices them) Oh girls! You're here! Thank goodness!

Zoe: Yup, we'll be down in a sec.

(Maria ties the rope onto a pipe sticking out of the rope and lowers the rest of the rope down the skylight window, both girls notice how high it is to climb down and gulp)

Zoe: (nervous) Well, after you Maria.

Maria: (nervous) Not before you.

Zoe: (nervous) Oh please I insist.

Maria: (nervous) I insist more.

Zoe: How do you insist more?

Maria: That's a thing! Now climb down so I can know if it's safe.

Zoe: Not before you do it!

Lincoln: Guys! Come on! We don't have much time!

Zoe: We can slide down together.

Maria: (sighs) I don't really have much choice.

(Maria and Zoe hold each other sliding down the rope and reach the library safely to meet up with Lincoln)

Zoe: We made it!

Maria: Alright, now we get down to business.

(Cuts to Tetherby talking to all the guests, which also includes Sophia in the crowd as well)

Tetherby: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have invited you all tonight to witness a sculpture constructed of me by the famous European artist Polo, I have placed this sculpture in my library to keep it safe and secure for you all to witness tonight.

(Sophia looked around the crowd to see if Lincoln was there, and began to get a bit nervous, Meanwhile back at the library, Lincoln began to hear people nearby)

Lincoln: (gets worried) Oh no! I think they're coming!

(Maria is using the hot glue to put the sculpture back together with Zoe holding the two pieces together)

Maria: We're halfway finished dude.

Zoe: (shaking) Careful Maria, it's hot glue!

Maria: Well quit shaking so you won't get any on you!

(Lincoln begins pacing back and forth beginning to get worried)

Zoe: Is it done?

(Maria finishes applying the glue onto the sculpture)

Maria: It's on!

(Lincoln then hears Tetherby outside the door)

Tetherby: And now I will discuss more about this sculpture while visiting Rome for the summer.

Lincoln: (whispers) Come on! We gotta get outta here!

Zoe: The rope, we'll be on our way out Lincoln!

Maria: (to Lincoln) Just stay put and act formal like you were before.

(Maria jumps up and begins to climb up the rope with Zoe following her, the door then opens as Tetherby and the rest of the guests come in)

Tetherby: I must say, our guest Lincoln Loud has decided to take an early peak at our sculpture for the night.

Lincoln: Oh, I couldn't wait to see this magnificent sculpture you had.

Tetherby: It is marvelous isn't it.

(Sophia spots Lincoln and sighs of relief)

Tetherby: Anyhow, let's continue the... (see's a fly swirling around him) dang insects in this room, how did they get in?

(Tetherby looks around the room as Lincoln realizes the skylight window is still open making him nervous)

Tetherby: It must've just come in through the door.

(Lincoln sighs of relief)

Tetherby: Let me dispose of this insect.

(Tetherby uses the bottom of his cane to gently smash the fly sitting on his sculpture, this causes the sculpture to slide in half and break in half again shocking everyone)

Lincoln: (begins sweating) Oh no...

Tetherby: (shocked) My sculpture, it's been broken by someone, and then they had the nerve to cover it up with hot glue!

Zoe: (from above in the skylight) Sorry about that!

Maria: (from above the skylight) Zoe!

(Everyone looks up and notices Maria and Zoe up at the skylight window)

(Lincoln gulps as he nervously steps to the side)

Tetherby: (annoyed) I apologize folks for the ones responsible for ruining this party. (to the butlers) Escort those two down here at once.

Butler 1: At your command Tetherby.

(The two butlers walk out of the library)

Tetherby: (to Lincoln) I'm deeply annoyed that Sophia's friends ruined such an excellent event, at least you seem to understand the importance of my gatherings.

Lincoln: (nervously) Yes, I sure do!

(Cuts to Maria and Zoe being grabbed by two butlers as they're in the living room in front of Tetherby and everyone else)

Tetherby: For ruining a valuable piece of art that was mine and wrecking my party, you two young ladies won't be able to see my granddaughter anymore.

(Lincoln gasps in shock while Sophia looks down more upset)

Maria: (annoyed) You can't do that, she's our best friend!

Zoe: (upset) Maybe we can work something out!?

Tetherby: It's too late for that, the butlers will escort you two out by throwing you over the gate.

Lincoln: Wait! Don't throw them out! (sighs) It was my fault! I was the one who broke your sculpture! I didn't mean to, it was an accident!

Tetherby: Well I've should've known it was too good to be true, and to think I would trust the words my granddaughter told me about you. (snaps his fingers)

(A butler shows up and picks up Lincoln)

Lincoln: Wait no! We can work something out!

Sophia: Granddad! Wait! You can't kick Lincoln out! He didn't mean to!

Tetherby: These poor young children will ruin you Sophia, I can't allow you to see them anymore. (to the butlers) Throw all three them over the gate so we can resume this party.

(The three butlers are about to throw Lincoln, Maria, and Zoe out of the mansion)

Sophia: (snaps) NO! (storms in front of Tetherby) You're NOT throwing out my friends!

Tetherby: (wide eyed) Uh Sophia, please calm down, not in front of my guests.

Sophia: How the heck can I calm down when you're ruining our friendship?! Let me tell you something granddad, all this time you've been acting like a big jerk! You don't care about what makes me happy! All you care about is how you make me happy! You never let me actually enjoy my time with my friends because you think they're going to ruin me! They're making my life more enjoyable, and I won't have you restricting me on everything! (voice breaking) You never cared about what I wanted! You never cared about ANYTHING I LOVED!! When my parents passed away, I was the only one upset! You never showed any emotion, because you were too busy focusing on your stupid parties! (tears flow freely) You always want to make me happy by buying all these things! You never thought about what really makes me happy! You only care about how YOU DO IT! BECAUSE IF I CAN'T FIND WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY! I'LL NEVER BE HAPPY, BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER ALLOW IT! NEVER!! (begins crying into her hands)

(Sophia runs upstairs into her room crying as everyone looked completely stunned)

Tetherby: (sighs) My granddaughter is right, all I want to do is make her happy but I seem to be failing on my part, (to Lincoln) I can't believe I'm asking you of this but how can I make her happy again?

Lincoln: Maybe you should just let Sophia do what makes her happy, instead of just relying on buying her expensive things. You need to show Sophia you care about her, and really love her.

Tetherby: It sounds difficult to do, but I'm really to try with my first task. (snaps his fingers) Release them.

(The butlers let Lincoln, Maria, and Zoe go)

Tetherby: If you three really do make my granddaughter happy... (sighs) then I shouldn't let me preconceived notions of how you live affect her happiness.

Maria: So we're friends with Sophia again?

Tetherby: Yes you are.

Lincoln: (smiles) Good.

Zoe: We should go see if she's okay.

Tetherby: Yes, run along children, you may enter Sophia's room.

(Lincoln, Maria, and Zoe run upstairs, they hear crying coming from Sophia's room)

Maria: Sounds like she's still crying.

Lincoln: We should go and try to calm her down.

(The three gently knock on Sophia's door)

Sophia: (crying) Go away granddad!! I don't want to speak to you!!

Lincoln: Sophia! It's us!

Sophia: (sniffs) W-What? But I thought my granddad kicked you out!

Maria: Well he suddenly had a change of heart and he let us go.

Zoe: We came up here to calm you down Sophia!

Sophia: (sniffs) R-Really?

Maria: If he didn't we would be in a face full of grass outside of your house right now.

Zoe: Is it okay if we come in?

Sophia: (sniffs) S-Sure.

(Lincoln, Maria, and Zoe slowly enter Sophia's room and go to sit next to her on her bed)

Maria: Oh dude you've got mascara dripping down your face from the crying.

Zoe: (grabs a box of tissues) These should help.

Sophia: T-Thanks. (blows into a tissue)

Lincoln: Don't worry Sophia, everything's going to be okay.

Maria: You still got your best friends here with you. (uses the tissues to lightly wipe the mascara off Sophia's face)

Zoe: You're grandfather decided that he wants to see you happy the way you want to be happy.

Sophia: (sniffs) R-Really? I didn't think he would...

Maria: He actually asked for help from Lincoln, he was really desperate.

Sophia: (lightly smiles) S-So I guess I snapped some sense into him...

Lincoln: Yeah, I think he's going to try harder to make sure you're happy the way you want to be happy.

Zoe: He does love you Sophia, even if he doesn't show it, he told us that he wants to make some changes in order to show his love for you in a way you're happy with.

Sophia: (smiles) That's great to hear. I hope things turn out better for me.

Maria: (smiles) They will dude.

Zoe: (smiles) What matters is that we're all still friends.

Lincoln: (smiles) And we always will be.

(The three give Sophia a hug)

Sophia: Thanks guys.

Maria: Well come on the night is still young, let's get you out of that dress and heels and actually go do something fun.

Zoe: Yeah! We can go to the arcade and play that new dancing game we heard about online!

Lincoln: Yeah! It should be a lot of fun!

Sophia: (smiles) Sure, let's go!

(Shortly after Sophia walked downstairs in her normal clothes with Maria, Zoe, and Lincoln as Tetherby approaches)

Tetherby: Ah Sophia, I see that you're looking much better now.

Sophia: Yeah, they told me about what you said, and I'm glad for that.

Tetherby: Where are you planning on going with your friends?

Sophia: We're going to the arcade.

Tetherby: Oh, the arcade.

Maria: That's okay that she's goes with us right?

Tetherby: Oh, yes, of course, my granddaughter enjoys the arcade so she'll go to the arcade.

Sophia: (smiles) Yes we will.

(Tetherby then suddenly pulls Sophia in for a hug surprising her)

Tetherby: I don't say this much, but I'll start saying it more, I love you.

Sophia: (hugs him back) I love you too.

(Tetherby breaks the hug from Sophia)

Tetherby: Now run along I have a party I need to resume, and you won't have to worry about walking to your car, one of the butlers already pulled it up out front.

(Sophia noticed her car out at the front door as a butler walks out of it and hands her the keys)

Sophia: Thank you so much! Come on guys! Let's go!

(All four of them get in Sophia's car and drive out of the driveway)

Maria: So I guess this all ended up working out in the end for us?

Sophia: It sure did!

Zoe: You know what I just realized? (to Sophia) How are we going to get your grandfather to like Luna?

Sophia: I'm not sure. How could we get him to do that?

Lincoln: (thinks) Hmm... I think I might have an idea.

THE NEXT DAY

(Luna was in a long purple dress about to walk into Lola's room)

Luna: Dude are you sure fancy people like Tetherby act like Lola during her tea parties?

Lincoln: Hey, this is the only way to get Tetherby to like you.

Luna: (sighs) Well I do wanna stay friends with Sophia, even if I have to stand up straight and talk like a old lady.

(Luna was then sitting at Lola's tea party)

Lola: Say Luna, did you hear that I'm the fanciest person in this house?

Luna: Well, yes I did, (in her fake British accent) you're the most lovely little girl with the classiest tea parties.

Lola: (smiles) That's nice sister, but you're accent is fake enough for your friends grandfather to notice.

Luna: (laughs nervously) I'm trying to be classy mate.

(Lola ends up laughing along with Luna as Lincoln watches over smiling)

Lincoln: (to the viewers) Well, looks like everything's good with Sophia now. Tetherby might not like me that much, but it's good to know that he'll try harder to make Sophia happy. And that's the girl that I love to hang out with.
