''[We open on the couch, where Lincoln is joined by all ten of his sisters. Luna, Luan and Lynn are on his right, while Lucy, the twins and Lisa are on his left, and Lana is holding Lily in her lap. Lori and Leni are standing behind the couch, letting their arms hang over the side.]''

Lincoln: Hi, everyone! I've got the whole gang with me again, and you know what that means, don't you?

[Beat]

Lincoln: That's right! We're covering one of our biggest requests. This one is called "Cringeworthy", and it's written by...

...Bobbybooboobear.

Luna: Ohh, boy. This guy again.

Lori: Wait, Bobby Boo-Boo Bear? My Bobby Boo-Boo Bear?

Lincoln: No, Lori. Just someone who named himself after him.

Lori: ...oh.

Lincoln: Anyway, let's get started!

PROLOGUE

(It starts with Luna and Chunk inside Luna and Luan's room. Luna is humming as she types in a title for her new song while Chunk just stands behind her, watching. After Luna puts in the title, she would click the upload button)

''Luna: And I'm finished! My first non-rock song ever posted my me!''

Lincoln: Luna straying outside her genre? This should be interesting.

Luna: Not really. I've dabbled in genres other than rock before. Jazz, R&B... heck, I even tried making an EDM song once.

Chunk: Well, congratulations!

''Luna: Yeah, you should congratulate me! I bet this pop song will get a lot of positive feedback. Wanna be the first one to listen to it?''

Chunk: Sure, I guess...

Lisa: The first one aside from the countless people who clicked on it after you uploaded it, assumedly.

Luna: Yeah, what's up with that? I don't usually post my songs on the web before runnin' them by at least one person. Usually Luan.

Luan: Always happy to help!

Luna: Great!

(Luna would put headphones on Chunk. She then turns on the music video of her "awesome" pop song. Chunk, however, ends up cringing. Luna then turns the music video off.)

''Luna: So... What do you think?''

(Chuck just stares down at Luna with a negative feeling. He then responds)

''Chunk: Mate, I know you want to do something besides rock, but this pop song of yours is a bad idea! It's probably gonna suck to a lot of people.''

Luna: Way harsh, dude...

Lori: And we don't even know what was bad about it. Was it the lyrics? The production? If we can't hear the song for ourselves, it's hard to pick a side.

Lisa: Indeed. The author seems to be unaware of the inherent limitations of his medium, and makes no effort to try and work around it.

''Luna: Dude! It's just my first pop song after taking a break from rock music.''

Chunk: Yeah, but people around the world won't like it.

Luna: But dude!

''Chunk: One time, I saw a singer like you switch from rap to nursery rhymes and she ended up getting horrible feedback! You're gonna end up like her-''

Luna: How is that anywhere near the same thing?! And... and since when are nursery rhymes a legit genre?! They're not!

[Lily babbles at Luna.]

Luna: Sorry, Lily, but I stand by what I said. Nursery rhymes are not a genre.

[Lily blows a raspberry at her.]

Luna: It's my pop song, and if you don't like it, you get the bunk out!

''Chunk: Fine! Guess we won't talk to each other anymore until you delete that stupid song!''

Lola: Geez, what a jerk! And what's wrong with pop, anyway? I like pop!

Luan: Same, but I usually prefer seltzer. [Laughs] Get it?

Luna: [Rolls eyes] Very funny, Luan. But seriously, me and Chunk have never had a problem with pop.

Lincoln: You haven't?

Luna: 'Course we haven't. Not everything has to be hardcore. Some people just want to fill the world with silly love songs. What's wrong with that?

(Chunk walks up to the door and opens it, but before he leaves, he turns back at Luna)

Chunk: Have fun getting feedback from your CRINGEWORTHY song!

(Chunk then closes the door behind himself and leaves)

''Luna: (mocking Chunk) "Have fun getting feedback from your cringeworthy song!" (to herself) He shouldn't judge my song just by the beginning of it. It's just my first pop song. But hey! At least everyone else I know like my siblings will probably like it. What could happen?''

CHAPTER 1

The next day...

(The scene shows the front of the school. It then cuts to Lincoln and his friends sitting at the table, eating lunch and watching videos on their phones)

Man: I'm gonna be famous for this-

(The man in the video would then hit his head on the wall, causing him to fall off his motorcycle and into the ground. Lincoln and his friends laugh at this)

Lana: Famous for what?

Lucy: Hurting himself for the amusement of others. It's human nature to take pleasure in others' pain.

Lisa: Indeed. It's called schadenfreude.

Leni: Isn't that, like, the German guy who said that cigars were like-

Lisa: That's Sigmund Freud, Leni.

''Rusty: Man! This guy is funny as heck!''

''Liam: I know, right! That guy was like, "I'm just gonna do my tricks! I don't care if it will make me end up in the hospital!"''

Zach: And then when he did it and his the wall, all the people were like, "Oh shoot! That guy just hit his head!"

Liam: I bet after that video, the cameraman would tell them that he did it just to be famous, and I bet they'll be like, "Then your friend over there is stupid! He needs some help!"

Luan: [Rolls her eyes] Oh, wow, what witty commentary. Someone's gonna be the next Ray William Jackson.

Lynn: I love that guy!

(The 5 boys would then continue to laugh)

Zach: What should we watch next?

Rusty: How about that video where the dog sniffs the cat's butt?

''Liam: Nah, I gotta better one! How about the video about that old woman?''

Rusty and Zach in unison: YES!

Lincoln: About the old woman who did what? I mean, sure, old women can be funny, but I'd like to know what we're getting so excited about.

''Liam: Ok! Let's watch it!''

''Lincoln: Ah, lunch! A good time to eat, laugh, and hang out with your friends!''

''Clyde: Yep! What can go wrong in this peaceful lunch time?''

Lincoln: I don't know!

(Suddenly, Lincoln hears 2 girls on the table next to them talking negatively about Luna's latest song)

Girl #1: OMG, like, what is up with her with her so-called "cool" pop song?

(In curiosity, Lincoln leans in to hear the conversation better)

''Girl #2: I know, right? Look at all the dislikes and hate comments! I thought this girl was supposed to be a rockstar. But nope! This punkette decides to like do pop music. That is so like stupid of her! And not only that, she's like losing subscribers. She had about 10 million, and now it's like 900 thousand.''

[Everyone's jaw drops.]

Luna: Okay, wow. Where do I even start?

[Luna takes a deep breath.]

Luna: First of all, I don't have ten million subscribers. I've never had ten million subscribers. Second of all, who loses nine million subscribers after one bad video?! That... that's unprecedented! And third of all, what do these two giggling airheaded preteens know about artistic integrity?!

[Beat]

Luna: Sorry, that was a little much. Let's keep going.

''Girl #1: Wow! I mean, if that rock girl like wants to have her subscribers back, then she should like delete this stupid song.''

Girl #2: I totally like agree!

Lori: Do they have to shoehorn "like" into every single sentence?

Leni: I know, right? That's, like, so distracting.

''Lincoln: (quietly to himself) Rockstar... Pop song... Hate... Needs to be deleted... Wait a minute, are they referring to... Luna?''

Lana: How would you even guess that? Luna never did pop before and she didn't show her new song to anyone but Chunk.

(Clyde then pats Lincoln's shoulder to give him attention)

''Clyde: Come on, Linc! The best part of this video about this old woman is about to show up!''

Lincoln: Alright, I'm coming!

(Lincoln looks back at the girls as he scoots closer to his friends)

Lincoln: What best part?!

Leni: Lincoln, it's not a big deal-

Lincoln: No, it is a big deal! I want to know what's so funny! Did she fall down? Did she fart? Did she curse at a police officer? What?

Later...

(It then cuts to Lincoln and Clyde walking back to their homes from school)

''Clyde: Man, that video was so funny! When that criminal stole her purse, she threw her shoe at team criminal, making him fall on his face! Then she would walk up to him and teach him a lesson like Muscle Fish would if someone stole his things! It's so hilarious! Right, Lincoln?''

Lincoln: Oh, that's what happened. Gotta say, I expected something funnier.

...wait, team criminal? She was fighting team criminal?

[We cut to an imagine spot of five men in prison jumpsuits posing flamboyantly.]

Prisoners: TOKUSENTAI! TOKUSENTAI! TOKUSENTAI!

[We cut back to the couch.]

Lincoln: Okay, that is pretty funny.

Lincoln: (In Pensiveness) Yeah, yeah, hilarious!

(Clyde then notices Lincoln not in a good mood)

Clyde: Are you okay?

Lincoln: Yeah, I'm fine!

''Clyde: Okay, then! Welp, gotta go! See you later!''

Lincoln: Bye, Clyde!

(Clyde then walks away. Lincoln is still thinking about what the girls were saying back then)

''Lincoln: (In his mind) I never heard someone talk about Luna like that before. Luna is supposed to be loved by a lot of people in Royal Woods, then all the sudden, I heard 2 haters talking about Luna's new pop song. Eh! They're just being haters! I mean, not everyone likes rock music and pop music. Luna's pop song can't be that bad, right?''

(Lincoln finally arrives at his house. Just as he opens the door, he sees Luna)

Lincoln: Oh, hey Luna!

''Luna: DUDE! YOU GOTTA COME TO MY ROOM!''

(Luna then grabs Lincoln and runs up to her room with Lincoln)

''Lincoln: Woah, woah, woah! What's the rush!?''

Luna: The best prog-rock band ever?

Lincoln: Megaman's robot dog?

Luan: That fat, right-wing jerk on talk radio?

''Luna: Alright! I want you to listen to my latest song I posted yesterday!''

Lincoln: Your pop song, right?

''Luna: Yeah, dude! Now I want you to listen to it! I already made our sisters and Chunk listen to it, but you haven't yet, so go ahead and listen!''

''Lincoln: Well, um... Luna? I-''

Luna: Please!

(Luna would make puppy eyes at Lincoln)

''Lincoln: Well... I don't see why not.''

''Luna: Yeah! That's my bro!''

(Luna would then put headphones on Lincoln's head and start the music video. However, when she starts the song, he started to have a bad feeling about it. As the music goes on, Lincoln begins to cringe at it due to how horrible it is.)

Lori: Again, it really doesn't work if we're just being told that it's horrible. For all we know, it could sound fine.

(After the music video was over, Luna would turn it off and take off the headphones off of Lincoln's head)

Lincoln: (in his mind) What did I just listen to?

''Luna: So... What did you think of it, dude?''

''Lincoln: (nervous) I-i... uh... um...''

''Luna: (annoyed) Come on, dude! Don't "I, Uh, and Um" me, tell me whatcha think of it!''

''Lincoln: It's... a-a-aw... awf...''

Luna: AWFUL!?

Lincoln: (lying) No, no! I was going to say it's awesome.

''Luna: Oh! I'm really glad you liked it, bro... Unlike our sisters.''

(A flashback then occurs. It shows all of the Louds sans Lincoln in Luna and Luan's room)

''Luna: Alright, dudes! Ready to hear my all-new pop song?''

(The other sisters just stare at Luna in silence)

Lana: Uh...

Luna: Oh, right. Because you all are such rock purists. You guys probably couldn't even tell the difference between a Les Paul and a Stratocaster!

[Everyone stares blankly at Luna.]

Luna: They're different types of guitars.

Luna: Great!

(Luna would then put headphones everyone and turn on the music video.)

Lynn: So she just has ten pairs of headphones lying around?

Lori: And a computer with ten headphone jacks, apparently.

(As the music video begins, the sisters would cringe at the music. After the music video is over, Luna takes the headphones off)

Luna: So what did you think, dudettes-

(The sisters sans Luna would then zoom out of the room. Luna just stands there, staring)

Luna: Um, guys?

(A note then hits Luna's face. She then grabs the note out of her face and reads it)

''DEAR LUNA, WHAT WE JUST HEARD FROM YOUR MUSIC VIDEO WAS POSSIBLY THE WORST POP MUSIC SOMEONE CAN MAKE. ONLY A LUNATIC LIKE YOU WOULD MAKE THAT! HA HA HA HA! GET IT? "LUNA" TIC? HA HA HA HA HA! ANYWAYS, YOU NEED TO GET THAT SONG OFF THE INTERNET BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD BE CRINGING AT IT, AND GET BACK TO ROCK AND ROLL, "LUNA" TIC! HA HA HA HA HA! ALRIGHT, FINE, I'LL STOP! -LUAN LOUD''

Luna: Is there a reason why she couldn't just say that to my face?

Luan: Because it's funnier when I write it out?...on second thought, no it isn't.

(The flashback then ends)

''Lincoln: Oh! So... Don't you need me to do anything else for you?''

''Luna: Nah! All I wanted you to do is listen to my song.''

''Lincoln: Oh, okay! Later, Luna!''

''Luna: Later, bro! Thanks for liking my song!''

(As Lincoln walks away from Luna and Luan's room, he begins to talk to himself in his head)

''Lincoln: (In his head) I guess that song was really stupid as those girls back at school said. I mean, why did she had to create it? What gave her an idea to make it? What happened to her rock music? Just why!? (sighs)''

Luna: Just what the heck is the big deal about this?! If Mick Swagger can go country, why can't I go pop?!

Luan: Yeah! And if Robin Williams can do drama, why can't you do pop?

Lucy: And if Stephen King can write grounded fiction, why can't you write pop?

Lynn: And if Michael Jordan can play baseball, why can't - okay, bad example. But still!

''Lincoln: I just wish I could tell her about what's happening to her account because of that song and how I really think of it, but... What if she cries because of what I said? What if she thinks I hate her now? What if she thinks I treat her like a black sheep or an outcast? What should I do? I don't know... I just don't know... I'm just gonna read comic books in my underwear now.''

Lincoln: Oh, right. Because that's just what I do when I'm not doing anything else, apparently.

Lola: Well, sure. We all have things like that. Lori texts, Lucy writes poetry, Lily does baby stuff...

Lana: I pick at my scabs!

[Everyone but Lana cringes.]

Lana: What?! You do it too! You all do it! Don't deny it!

(Lincoln would then enter his room and close the door behind him)

The next day...

(It cuts to the Loud House at morning time. We then see Lincoln with a plate with pancakes on it, heading towards the dining room. He then sees Luna eating her eggs and bacon on the table.)

Lisa: As opposed to eating them off the floor?

Lincoln: Oh, hey Luna!

''Luna: Hey, dude! What's up?''

Lincoln: Nothing much really.

(Lincoln then sits next to Luna)

Lincoln: Well, uh, Luna?

Luna: Yeah?

Lincoln: Remember that pop song you made 2 days ago?

Luna: Yeah, what about it?

Lincoln: Do you often check your channel?

Luna: Only for the views for my latest songs, yeah!

Lincoln: But don't you check the likes and dislikes too?

Luna: I do! What kind of content creator doesn't listen to feedback?

Lisa: To be fair, not all feedback is useful. I run a science vlog, and I often have to disable likes and comments.

Lincoln: Why? You can't take criticism?

Lisa: I take criticism from trusted, respected colleagues. I do not take criticism from anonymous dolts whose idea of "feedback" is flooding my inbox with inane messages about Shrek.

Lincoln: 'Cause yesterday, I heard 2 girls talking about how many dislikes you got on your latest song and-

(Just when Lincoln was about to finish, Leni's voice can be heard)

Leni: (off-screen) LINKY!

(Leni then grabs Lincoln and runs away with him and his breakfast.)

''Luna: (ticked off) LENI!? WHAT THE HECK!?''

(Leni would run upstairs and into her and Lori's room where all the other sisters are eating. Leni then slams the door behind her)

''Lisa: Oh, good! You got Lincoln up here.''

''Lincoln: Up here? But I was just-''

(Lisa then puts her index finger on Lincoln's lips)

''Lisa: Shh! It's alright, my older brother, you are secure from "Cringeworthy" downstairs.''

[Everyone stares at the screen bewilderedly.]

Luna: All right, there's overreacting, and then there's... this.

Lucy: If I reacted like that every time I heard a vapid pop song, I would have shriveled up and died by now.

Luna: Yeah, exactly. When did all of you turn into such music snobs?!

Leni: Like, ew. I'd never be one of those people. They're so annoying. "Oh, you can't listen to this singer, because he doesn't, like, write his own songs or play a bunch of instruments, and his music isn't from Indiana!"

Luna: I feel you on that, Leni. Fact is, music- wait, what was that last one?

Leni: Well, see, I've talked to some people who only like music that comes from Indiana. They call it "Indy" music. And then they get really upset when their favorite Indy bands start playing in the Maine Stream. Which I guess is, like, a streaming service from Maine?

[Luna stares at Leni in awed silence for a moment.]

Luna: Did I really just hear what I think I just heard?

Lincoln: Cringeworthy?

Lynn: (puts arm around Lincoln) Yes, my mouse brother, that's what we're calling her from now on because of her cringey song.

Lincoln: Really? This again? When have any of you ever called me a mouse? That... that's just weird.

''Lucy: Yeah! I'd rather be buried alive than listen to that atrocious song.''

Lucy: I doubt that. Speaking as someone who has been buried alive, it's not fun.

Lincoln: When did that happen?

Lucy: It's a long story.

Lisa: Now that we got you away from her, we shall now maintain to finish our breakfast.

Later...

(It then cuts to the cafeteria where Lincoln and his friends are. This time, instead of laughing at random videos, they are having negative feelings towards Luna's pop song)

''Rusty: Ugh, what is this, man!? It's so cringeworthy! Especially that raspy voice!''

Luna: Wha... I've always had a raspy voice! If they don't like it, why are they even listening to me?!

''Liam: I know, right!? This rockstar doesn't know anything about how to make a pop song!''

Zach: I've heard pop songs better than this!

Lori: That's... awfully tame, as far as criticism goes. "I've heard better."

Liam: She needs to delete her pop music stuff and get back to rock and roll!

Clyde: It would've been better if Lori sang it.

Lana: Yeah, I doubt that. And if you've ever heard Lori sing, you would too.

Lori: [Defensively] I can sing!

Lana: Not well, you can't.

Lori: Oh, shut it! Like any of you could do better!

''[Lola gets off the couch and turns to face the other siblings. After clearing her throat and taking a deep breath, she begins to sing.]''

Lola: [In an angelic voice] Memory

Turn your face to the moooooonlight

Let your memory lead you

Open up, enter in

If you find there, the meaning of what happiness is

Then a new life begins...

[Lola sits back on the couch while everyone else stares at her in total amazement.]

Lincoln: I... how did you even...

Lola: You don't get to be a pageant queen if you're not a triple threat.

(Rusty, Liam, and Zach stare at Clyde)

''Clyde: What? That girl in my sweetheart doesn't have a raspy voice.''

Liam: (To Lincoln) What did you think of that cringey pop song, Lincoln?

''Lincoln: Well... I...''

Zach: You don't like it, do you?

Lincoln: I just listened to my sister's pop song you guys are listening right now, and I found it cringeworthy.

Lisa: Gosh, that dialogue doesn't sound stilted and unnatural at all. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear it came directly from Lincoln's mouth.

Liam: Wait a minute, that's your sister?

Lincoln: Liam knows who Luna is. He dated one of her best friends!

Luna: Wait, he did? When was that?

Lincoln: I set him up with Tabby at the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Luna: Ah.

''Lincoln: Well, yeah! The one who loves rock in roll.''

Luna: Did he really just say rock in roll?

Luan: Sounds like something that'd break your teeth if you tried to bite into it!

Zach: Well what happened to her love with rock!?

Lincoln: I don't know, I was wondering the same question!

Rusty: Did you tell her that she needs to get back to it?

Lincoln: Technically... No! I just told her I thought it was awesome.

''Liam: DUDE! REALLY!?''

Zach: WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!?

Lincoln: Because if I did, she'll probably cry and think I hate her now.

Lori: Since when is Luna that thin-skinned?

Lincoln: She isn't. None of us are. I mean, I didn't think you hated me when you said that my anniversary gifts crushed mom and dad's souls, or when you said my Ace Savvy costume looked stupid, or when you all laughed at my Girl Guru idea, or when you-

Lana: We get it, Lincoln.

''Rusty: Lincoln! (Sighs) Look, just because she's your sister doesn't mean you have to tell her you like that cringeworthy song. Telling her you like it will just encourage her to make more cringeworthy songs. You gotta tell her way you really think of it.''

Lincoln: But what if she-

''Liam: Just trust us, Lincoln. I promise you, she'll learn her lesson and get back to the music she used to do.''

Luna: And what is that lesson, huh? Just stick to what you know and never go outside your comfort zone?

Lincoln: I...

(The bell would then ring. All the students would get up and head to their next classrooms.)

Clyde: (To Rusty, Liam, and Zach) Do you think Lincoln will do what you said?

Rusty, Liam, and Zach in unison: Nope!

CHAPTER 2

(It cuts to the Lincoln watching TV. We would then see Luna in a not-so-good mood with mean writings on her face enter the house)

Lana: Did she just stand there and let people draw on her?

Luna: Well today was a horrible day.

''Lincoln: What do you mean- (notices the writings) Oh my! What happened to you?''

Luna: I don't wanna talk about it, dude.

(Luna would just slowly walk up the stairs and into the bathroom to clean off the writings on her face)

''Luna: What in the world is up with everyone today? First Chunk and my sisters rejecting my first pop song, and now everyone at my school writing stuff on my face?''

(Luna would then grab a small towel, soak it with sink water, and rub her face)

Luna: Well at least it couldn't get any worse.

Later that night...

(It cuts to the Loud House at a raining night. The scene then cuts to Luna getting out the bathroom after getting rid of the writings off her face)

''Luna: Finally, my face is clean! It took me about 6 hours to get them off. I'm gonna go to bed now.''

Lynn: Six hours?! What kind of ink takes six hours to wash off?!

(Just as Luna opens the door, she sees her siblings sans Lincoln in her room. This makes Luna confused)

Luna: Uh, what are you guys doing here?

''Luan: Oh, nothing! It's just...''

(Luna then notices her pillow and blanket missing)

Luna: And where's my pillow and blanket!?

Luan: Because of your so-called "cool" pop song, we decided to put your pillow and blanket somewhere else so we won't hear you play that cringeworthy song.

Luan: First of all, why did I try to lie to her if I was just going to tell her the truth a second later? Second of all, what?

Luna: So I won't be able to sleep here anymore!?

(The siblings nod their head)

Luna: So instead of just asking me not to play the song, you're going to bar me from sleeping in my room so you won't hear me... playing it in my sleep? Somebody explain this to me.

Lisa: I don't think there isan explanation. This decision of ours could not be the result of anything resembling a logical thought process. As Wolfgang Pauli would say, "It is not even wrong."

''Luna: Well, then where can I sleep, dudes!? Lincoln's room!?''

[Leni, Luna, Lincoln, Lola and Lisa shudder.]

Lincoln: Please, no.

Lori: Nope!

Luna: The living room!?

Lynn: Nope!

''Luna: Uh... The basement?''

Lola: Even better!

Luna: Which is...?

Lana: (Giggles suspiciously) It's a surprise.

Luna: I don't like where this is going...

(Lola and Lana would then cover Luna's eyes with their hands. The siblings slowly walk downstairs, then to the living room, then to the kitchen. They would open the door and walk to the backyard)

Lisa: And stop!

(The siblings stop walking. Lola and Lana would uncover Luna's eyes. Luna then sees her pillow and blanket on the grass, shocking Luna)

''Luna: Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah! Hold on a minute! So you dudes are saying I have to sleep outside!?''

''Luan: Yep! That's where people who make cringeworthy songs go. Bye!''

Lynn: Geez, what a bunch of bullies! Is this really how the author sees us?!

Lucy: Treating Luna like a leper because we dislike her art. This is beyond shameful.

Lily: Mean! Mean!

Lana: Oh, hey, you finally got it down. Nice one, Lily.

(The siblings run to the door. Luna tries to catch up, but it's too late, the sisters already locked her out. Luna is trying to get the door open)

Luna: UNLOCK THE DOOR AND LET ME IN!

Lola: Not until you delete that stupid song, punk!

Lynn: Kinda hard to do that when we locked her outside without her computer.

(The sisters would walk out the kitchen, leaving Luna. Luna then gets tired from trying to open the door)

Luna: (tears filling up her eyes) Err!

(Luna would then stomp towards her pillow and blanket, cover herself in her blanket, and quietly sob)

[A few of the siblings start to tear up.]

Lola: Poor Luna...

Lincoln: Yeah, getting locked outside isn't fun, is it?

Lori: Stop. Don't you dare open up that wound again.

Lincoln: [Sighs] ...okay.

[After a moment of silence, Lynn puts her arm around Lincoln and pulls him close.]

Mr. Grouse: What are you doing in the rain, loud!?

Luna: BE QUIET!

(Luna would cry harder)

''Mr. Grouse: Jeez... I guess you wanna be all wet and dirty then.''

Luan: Grouse is kinda off his game. I would've expected something funnier.

(Mr. Grouse puts himself back inside his house as Luna continues to cry under her blanket)

The next day...

(The scene would cut to Lincoln going to Lori and Leni's until he saw his sisters sans Luna going downstairs.)

Lincoln: Uh, are we gonna have to eat in your room again?

Lana: Nope!

Lincoln: Why not?

Lynn: Come with us and we'll tell you why!

(It then cuts to the dining room with Lincoln and his sisters except Luna eating breakfast)

Lisa: The reason why you are able to eat here again because we got Luna taken care of.

Lincoln: Taken care of?

''Lisa: Yep! We sent her outside. That way we won't have to deal with her and her cringeworthy song.''

''Lincoln: Outside? Isn't that really cruel?''

Lana: But if we keep her in, she's just gonna play that dang song all day and night.

Luna: Wha... no, I wouldn't! If you all really hated it that much, I'd stop playing it!

''Lola: Yeah! I've been wondering what happened to her love of her rock music. Like, why would a rock star do a pop song? That's like a rapper doing nursery rhymes, like that internet guy back in the day.''

Luna: Okay, that does it. I need a moment.

Leni: Why?

Luna: 'Cause I've got something that's been building up inside for so [BLEEP] long.

[The older siblings gasp, and Lincoln reaches over and clasps his hands over Lily's ears.]

Lori: Luna! Watch your mouth!

Luna: Sorry. But I've got a real bone to pick with this story.

[Luna stands up.]

Luna: This writer seems to think that pop and rock are two separate spheres that can't ever touch each other. But they're not. They overlap, they intertwine, and the line between them has always been pretty blurry. I mean, once upon a time, "pop" was just short for "popular". It was a catch-all term for whatever was toppin' the charts - and for a lot of the 50's and 60's, that was rock 'n roll.

The Beatles are one of the greatest rock groups of all time. They're also one of the greatest pop groups. And no Beatlemaniac would take offense to either of those labels. Plus, if you really want to blow this writer's mind, you could tell him that Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo on "Beat It". You know, that song by Michael Jackson? The King of Pop?

The idea that rock is above pop, or that you have to be smart to appreciate it, is totally bogus, and it's not what rockers like me want people to think. Fact is, rock can be just as simple and rudimentary as pop. You know how many chords you need to know to play "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones? Three. A major, D major and E major. That's it. Even Bono said that all he needs to rock out are three chords and the truth.

Rock stars and pop starlets aren't enemies; we're brothers from another mother. At the end of the day, we're all just writin' simple songs with catchy hooks and melodies designed to make people want to get up and move.

[Luna returns to her seat.]

Luna: All right, I'm done. Let's keep going.

Lincoln: Well, yeah, but was that necessary to force Luna to sleep outside?

Lana: Of course it was necessary!

''Lola: Wait a minute, you don't like that song Luna made, do you? Because if you like it, we might send you outside as well, just like what we did earlier.''

''Lincoln: No! I hate that song! It's just that... I kinda told her I like it.''

(Suddenly, the sisters become shocked of what Lincoln said)

Lisa: So you're telling us you hate that song but told Luna that you love it?

Lincoln: Yeah. It's called sparing someone's feelings.

Lynn: After what we did to Luna, would you really expect us to care about her feelings?

''Lynn: Dude! You shouldn't say stuff like that towards her when she makes cringeworthy songs!''

Lana: That will just encourage her to make more songs like that!

Lincoln: But I don't want Luna to think I'm one of you.

Lola: Who the heck cares about what "Cringeworthy" Loud thinks!?

(All the other sisters would just yell at Lincoln. Then all the sudden, Lori comes up with an idea)

Lori: Wait, guys!

(The sisters ignore Lori)

Lori: Guys!

(The sisters still ignore Lori)

Lori: GUYS!

Leni: We're not guys.

(She finally catches everyone's attention)

Lori: I just came up with an idea.

Lana: And what's that idea?

Lori: Everyone, except Lincoln, get in a circle!

Lincoln: Hey! What gives?!

Luan: Way to broadcast the fact that you're leaving him out. You're usually more discreet about that.

(All the sisters sans Luna get in a circle)

Lincoln: Wait, what do I do?

Lori: Uh...

Leni: You can watch TV while we have a private conversation.

(Leni would take Lincoln and his breakfast to the couch, grab the remote, and turn on The Dancing Meerkat Sing-Along on TV)

Lynn: The what?

''Dancing Meerkat: Let's sing the Meerkat song, kids! (singing) I'm a meerkat, I'm a meerkat, Yes! I'm a meerkat! You're a meerkat...''

Leni: Enjoy the show!

Lincoln: Tall order, considering the fact that I'm eleven and not four.

Lisa: Ahem.

Lincoln: Oh! No offense, Lisa.

(Leni would give Lincoln a brief kiss on the forehead and returns to the dining room)

''Lori: Now that Lincoln's gone, here's the idea! We should... (unintelligible whispering)''

CHAPTER 3

Later that night...

(The scene then shows Lincoln sleeping on his bed with his Bun-Bun plush. Then all the sudden, he hears a knock on the door)

Lincoln: (Tired) Ugh...

(Another knock is heard)

Lincoln: (tired) I'm trying to sleep!

(This time, instead of knocking, banging is heard. Lincoln, however, chooses to ignore it)

Lola: (frustrated) UGH!

(Lola kicks the door open, grabs a comic book, and slaps Lincoln with it)

''Lincoln: OW! Lola!''

Lincoln: You know, there are other, less violent ways to wake me up.

Lola: Yeah, but whacking you is more fun.

Lola: Lori and the others want you to hop on Vanzilla.

Lincoln: Okay, no. Let Evel Knievel get on Vanzilla. I'm getting in Vanzilla!

Lincoln: ...What!?

''Lola: (grabs Lincoln's hand) No time to explain! Come on!''

(Lola would drag Lincoln out of his bed all the way to Vanzilla. Lori would then press her foot on the pedal and drive somewhere)

''Lincoln: Why are you guys even driving me somewhere at this time anyway? It's one in the morning!''

''Lori: Oh, we wanted you to come with us somewhere because... we need to teach you something.''

Lincoln: At one in the morning?

Lola: There's no way I would agree to that. I need my beauty rest!

Lucy: As do I.

[Everyone looks at Lucy.]

Lucy: What? You think this look is easy to pull off? My aesthetic takes just as much work as Lola's does.

Lincoln: Like what?

Lori: You'll see!

Later...

(They park near a karate center. The Louds would hop off Vanzilla)

Lincoln: You guys are gonna teach me karate?

Lisa: No, my mus musculus friend!

Leni: Didn't she call you that in the other Bobbybooboobear story we read?

Lincoln: Yep. And I gotta tell you, it sounded a lot cooler before I actually looked up what it meant.

Lincoln: Then why are we near a closed karate center?

Lisa: Because that's the best location we can find.

Lincoln: Also, why-

''Lori: Okay, no more questions! Let's head inside!''

(The sisters would force Lincoln to enter the karate center)

Lori: So you wanna know what we're gonna teach you, right?

Lincoln: Yeah?

Lynn: Alright, we're gonna teach you...

Lisa: How to tell Luna how you really think of her cringeworthy song without hesitation.

Luan: And to do that we need to break into a karate center at one in the morning.

[Beat]

Luan: Doesn't really make sense when you say it out loud, does it?

Lincoln: You're gonna teach me that!?

Lana: Yep!

Lincoln: But she'll-

(All the sisters sans Leni slap Lincoln on the cheek. Leni slaps Lincoln's buttcheek.)

[Everyone gawks at the screen.]

Lincoln: Moving on...

(Because of what she did, the other sisters stare at Leni, stunned)

Lincoln: Oh, wow. Even they're completely dumbfounded.

''Lori: Uh... Leni? You slapped him in the wrong area.''

Leni: Whoops!

(Leni would turn Lincoln towards her and slap him in the cheek)

Lincoln: Ow!

Leni: There we go!

''Lori: Anyways, Linc, you shouldn't be hesitate to tell Luna how you REALLY think of her song. It can literally encourage her to make more songs like that. That's why we brought you here so we can teach you how to tell Luna that you hate her song WITHOUT hesitation. Alright! The lesson shall now begin! Luan! Bring in the dummy that resembles Luna!''

Luan: Got it!

(Luan places the Luna dummy on the floor)

''Luan: Hopefully, Lincoln doesn't become too much of a dummy to do this! (laughs) Get it?''

Lori: (to Luan) This is no time for jokes, horse!

Luan: Horse?

Lori: Okay, it was weird enough when Lisa was calling Lincoln a mouse. Now I'm calling Luan a horse?

Luna: Do we all get animal nicknames? If we do, I got dibs on the hawk.

Lola: Ooh! I wanna be a kitty!

Lana: I'll be a pig!

Lynn: I'm a rhino!

Lucy: I'm a bat.

Lily: Bear!

Lisa: I wouldn't mind being dubbed a pygmy marmoset.

Lori: I would literally be the cutest squirrel you've ever seen.

Leni: And I'll be a hobo!

[Everyone stares at Leni.]

Lincoln: That's not an animal.

Leni: Yuh-huh! Hobos are people, and people are animals!

[Beat]

Lisa: She's not wrong...

Lori: (to Lynn) Lynn, run up to the dummy, where you'll get Lincoln to do this without being cowardly!

Lynn: (salutes) Yes, ma'am!

(Lynn would run up to the dummy)

Lori: And Lincoln, follow Lynn!

Lincoln: (sighs) Alright...

(Lincoln would walk to where Lynn is)

''Lori: Hurry, Lincoln! We need to do this lesson now!''

Lincoln: Or what? Where's this sense of urgency coming from?

(Lincoln would then rush to Lynn)

Lynn: Alright, Little Bro, let's pretend that this dummy Luan has is the real Luna "Cringeworthy" Loud!

Lincoln: Um, Alright?

''Lynn: She asks you to listen to her song and you said "Sure!", she turns it on and you turn out to loathe it a lot. The music ends and she asks you what you think. What do you say?''

''Lincoln: I... Think it's... awesome?''

Lynn: NO!

(Lynn would slap Lincoln)

Lincoln: Ow!

''Lynn: You see, mouse? You're way too worried about what Luna thinks. You can't let those thoughts get to you. You gotta learn how to be brave and courageous, not scared and hesitant. Don't let those thoughts get in your head. Think of yelling at Luna so hard that her eardrums burst. Now, I want you to say, "Your song is awful!"''

Lincoln: Alright...

(Lincoln would turn to the dummy, still worried)

''Lynn: (encouraging Lincoln) Do it, Lincoln! Just do it! I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself! Just say it!''

''Lincoln: (nervous) Luna... Your song is...''

(The thoughts of Luna being depressed because of Lincoln gets to him, making him fail)

Lincoln: AWESOME!

(All the sisters would groan in frustration)

''Lynn: SERIOUSLY, LINCOLN?! YOU COULD'VE SAID IT!''

''Luan: I GUESS YOU ARE TOO MUCH OF A DUMMY AFTER ALL! (laughs)''

''Lincoln: I'm sorry, guys! I'm just too worried about hurting her feelings.''

Luan: [As the other sisters] "Destroy that empathy! Squelch it! Squelch it until you're nothing more than an empty, unfeeling husk!"

Lori: (exhales through nose as she facepalms) Maybe I should try.

(Lori would walk up to Lincoln)

Lori: Here, instead of a dummy, maybe a real person shall work.

(Lori would clear her throat, then try to mimic Luna)

''Lori: (failed Luna voice impression) Hi, Linc- (cough), Wan- (cough) -na li- (cough) -sten to (cough) my new (cough cough) song!? (coughs, then goes back to her normal voice) God, I'm bad at mimicking Luna!''

Lola: Pfft. Amateur.

Lori: Oh, I suppose now you'll tell me that you're great at doing impressions, too?

Lola: No, no, I won't. But Lana will.

Lana: Eh?

Lola: [In a pitch-perfect imitation of Lana's voice] "Hey, Lincoln! Let's go play in the mud and eat bugs and do other gross stuff!"

''[Lana's jaw drops open. Most of the other siblings look equally surprised.]''

Lana: I... I'm not even mad. That was creepy good.

Lynn: Can you do any others?

Lola: Sure can! [In Lily's voice] Poo-poo! Poo-poo!

[Lily giggles.]

Lola: [In Aunt Ruth's voice] "Get over here and massage my feet! My bunions are aching!" [In Scoots' voice] "Hey, hurry up or I'll run you over!"

Lori: Okay, okay, I think that's enough. Let's go back to the story.

[Everyone turns back towards the screen.]

Lana: You're something else, Lola.

Lola: I know.

Lincoln: It would've been better if you used your real voice.

''Lori: Good point! Anyways, let's try this again! (pretending to be Luna, this time using her real voice instead of an attempt to mimic Luna's voice) Hi, Lincoln! Wanna listen to my new song!?''

''Lincoln: Uh... Sure!''

''Lori: Alright, now let's pretend that you heard the song and ended up hating it! (Pretending to be Luna) So... Whatcha think, dude!?''

''Lincoln: Uh... I-i... Um... Think it's...''

''Lori: Yes... yes...''

Lincoln: Aw...

Lori: Come on...

''Lincoln: Aw... Awesome!''

Lincoln: [Facepalms] Oh, for the love of... just say "awful" and get it over with! It's one in the morning!

(All the sisters would groan in frustration)

''Lola: Try again! And this time, I got this.''

(Lola walks up to Lincoln)

''Lola: Hey, Linc! You like pizza, right?''

Lincoln: Yeah?

Lola: (grabs out pizza slice) Well I got some pizza here if you say what we want you to say.

(Lincoln would drool at the sight of the pizza slice)

''Lola: Ok, Let's pretend Luna just came and asked you to listen to her song! After you listened to her song, you hated it a lot. If she asks you what do you think, what should you say? Now, I want you to think about the pizza and not hurting Luna's feelings!''

Lincoln: Alright...

(Lincoln is trying to think of the pizza slice)

''Lincoln: It's... aw... awf...''

(The thoughts of hurting Luna's feelings get the best of him)

Lincoln: AWESOME!

Lucy: How long are they going to drag this scene out?

(The sisters once again groan in frustration)

''Lola: Okay, then! No pizza for you!''

(Lincoln would throw the pizza slice on the floor)

Lana: Alright, we're trying this once again, but it'll be different!

Many attempts later...

''Lincoln: Ugh! Guys, this is a stupid idea! It's never gonna work! All of those Luna thoughts will always get the best of me!''

Lori: (sighs) Welp fellas, we failed!

Lynn: Guess we'll see Luna make more cringeworthy songs in the future because Lincoln can't say that her song is awful.

Luna: Actually, after what you did to me, I don't know if I'd want to make any more songs, period.

[Everyone else gasps.]

Luna: If you're gonna lock me out in the rain whenever I write something you don't like, what's the point?!

''Lola: Yeah... Let's just go home!''

(The sisters sadly approach the door of the karate center. Suddenly, an idea pops out of Lily)

Lily: Poo-poo!

(Lily would then walk up to Lincoln)

''Leni: Hey! What's Lily doing?''

Lincoln: Lily?

Lily: Wiwy hath pan!

''Lincoln: You have a plan... to get me to say that Luna's song is awful?''

(Lily would nod her head)

Lisa: It looks like my specimen's gonna endeavor to get Lincoln to imply that he loathes Luna's song.

Lori: Oh no...

Lana: I highly doubt it's gonna work.

Lincoln: (to Lily) You want me to think of something?

(Lily nods)

''Lincoln: It's not pizza slices, right? Because Lola already did that.''

Everyone: GET ON WITH IT!

(Lily shakes her head left and right)

Lincoln: Then what?

''Lily: Mousey! Mousey!''

[Beat]

Lincoln: Scusi?

Lincoln: Why mice?

Lily: Linky Mousey!

Lincoln: ...Whatever, let's just do this.

Lily: [Tilts her head] Mas?

Leni: Yeah, I'm just as confused as you are.

(Lily would pretend to be Luna and babble, sounding like she's asking Lincoln a question)

''Lincoln: Oh sure, Luna! I'd like to hear your song!''

(Lily then pretends to play a song with a guitar. The rest of the sisters just stare at Lincoln and Lily in confusion. Lily then stops and babbles again, sounding like she's asking something)

''Lincoln: Well, Luna? You're song is... uh... aw...''

(Lincoln is trying his best to think of mice.)

Lincoln: ...what? How would that even... why would I... what do mice have to do with... what?

(Unexpectedly, Lincoln finally admits his true opinion)

''Lincoln: Awful! Your song, is, awful!''

[Everyone stares at the screen for a minute and a half in bewildered silence.]

Lynn: It worked?!

Lincoln: [Incomprehensible gibberish] WHAT?!

(The sisters become surprised as Lincoln successfully admits his true opinion)

Lucy: Well that was unexpected!

Lisa: Looks like my specimen there has discovered a solution.

''Lola: Hey, no fair! When I make him think of pizza, it didn't work, but when Lily made him think of mice, it did!''

''Lana: But hey! at least he finally said it.''

''Lincoln: Huh! I guess thinking of mice really did work!''

Lori: Okay, now it's time to go home.

Lisa: No, now it's time to explain what in the name of Sir Isaac Newton just happened.

(The sisters and Lincoln would leave the karate center and hop on Vanzilla)

''Lynn: (to Lincoln) We're really proud of you, little bro! You finally admitted your real opinion on Luna's song, well, (points at Lily with her thumb) thanks to Lily over here.''

(Lily would then giggle)

Lynn: And you know what this means?

Lincoln: What?

Luan: That mice are the key to unlocking the mysteries of the world?

''Lynn: That means tomorrow morning, you'll be able to tell Luna your real opinion, and she'll finally learn from her mistakes of switching from rock to pop. She's gonna delete that song and become popular again, thanks to your opinion. Welp, nothing else to say but... good job!''

(Lynn would punch Lincoln's arm)

Lincoln: (rubbing his arm) Ow!

(Lori would press her foot on the pedal and make Vanzilla go)

Lisa: Well, it's a good thing the author clarified that Lori made the van go by pushing the gas pedal. After that scene, I wouldn't have been surprised if the van was being powered by magic giraffes.

CHAPTER 4

Tomorrow morning...

(The scene would show Luna waking up in the backyard. Luna would then yawn)

Luna: Well last night was a horrible night.

(Luna suddenly hears the back door being unlocked. The door opens only to reveal Lincoln)

Lincoln: Um, Luna?

''Luna: Oh, thank goodness it's you, dude! You gonna let me back in without the sisters-''

''Lincoln: No! Well, not yet! I just came here to talk with you.''

''Luna: Um, okay? What do you wanna talk about?''

Lincoln: Remember the time I was trying to talk with you, about the likes and comments and all of that on your channel?

Luna: Yeah, right before stupid Leni took you away from me.

Lincoln: I was about to ask you if you have been noticing the amount of dislikes and subscribers you have ever since that pop song you made.

Luna: Dude, I'm pretty sure there's rarely any dislikes on that video and I have a lot more subscribers than I had before.

Lincoln: Well, you thought wrong!

(Luna would then become confused of what Lincoln said)

Luna: W-what do you mean?

(Lincoln would grab out his smartphone and show Luna the amount of subscribers she has)

''Lincoln: Look at the subscribers! There's now 100 subscribers.''

Luna: Geez Louise! I must have the most fickle subscribers in the world.

Luan: Maybe your music videos just don't have enough mice in them.

(Lincoln would then show the amount of dislikes she got)

''Lincoln: And look at the dislikes! 24 million dislikes and only 7 likes!''

(Luna's eyes began to tear up at the sight of the amount of dislikes)

Luna: (broken voice) That many?

''Lincoln: Sorry, sis, but yes! But they hate it for a reason.''

Luna: And what's that reason?

Lincoln: It's pop!

[Luna takes a deep breath.]

Lana: We heard you the first time, Luna.

''Luna: (confused) I don't... get it.''

''Lincoln: I mean, you're a rock star and you decided to do pop!? That's jumping the shark! Did anyone tell you that you will lose a lot of fans for doing pop songs even though your music are made for rock songs? Like that rapper back then who decided to do nursery rhymes?''

Luna: Well, Chunk did after listening to my pop song.

''Lincoln: Well he has the freaking point! Chunk thought making pop songs despite being a rock star is stupid! And so did those 2 girls I heard in the cafeteria, my friends, our sisters, and...''

Luna: And who?

Lincoln: Me!

Luna: But you said it was awesome!

''Lincoln: I know, I just said that because I was scared that I was gonna hurt your feelings. So what I was trying to say is that your song is...''

(Lincoln begins to think of mice)

''Lincoln: Aw... awf... awful!''

(Luna becomes shocked of what he said, and more tears form faster)

''Luna: (voice breaking) So let me get this straight! All this time, you hated my song, but didn't want to admit because you'll hurt my feelings! Well, guess what? YOU JUST DID!''

Lincoln: I know, but now that I told you that, I think that you should delete your pop song.

''Luna: (cranky) But I don't wanna delete my song, dude! That pop song is part of my life!''

''Lincoln: (furious) SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT POP IS YOUR LIFE AND NOT ROCK! WHAT EVEN HAPPENED TO YOUR INTEREST IN ROCK, HUH!?''

Luna: So just 'cause I like rock the best, I'm not allowed to experiment with anything else?! What kind of pretzel logic is that?!

Luna: I just wanna do something besides rock and I thought pop was a better than choice then rock-

''Lincoln: BUT YOU ALWAYS LOVED ROCK MORE THAN ANY TYPE OF MUSIC EVER SINCE THAT MICK SWAGGER CONCERT BACK WHEN YOU WERE IN 7TH GRADE! AND NOW YOU WANT TO DO POP AND THINK THAT'S BETTER THAN ROCK NOWADAYS!? THAT IS THE MOST STUPIDEST MISTAKE SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY EVER MADE!''

Luna: (sobbing) D-dude...

''Lincoln: WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT? YOUR ROCK STAR CAREER AND YOUR FANS!? OR YOUR STUPID, CRINGEWORTHY POP SONG!?''

Luna: ...Both?

''Lincoln: (screaming at the top of his lungs) "BOTH" IS NOT THE FREAKING ANSWER! (Breathes heavily, then sighs) Look, I'm sorry, but if you want your fans back, you're gonna have no choice but to delete that song. I mean, everyone hates you now and you always want to be popular right?''

Luna: (sniff) Yeah?

Lincoln: Well you have to delete that pop song if you wanna be popular again.

Lori: What's the moral of this story, exactly?

(Luna finally realizes her mistake)

''Luna: You know what, dude? You're right. I'm gonna have to delete that song if I want my fans back. Now where's my laptop?''

Lincoln: I'm gonna get it.

(Lincoln runs inside his house to get Luna's laptop)

1 minute later...

(Lincoln would come back with her laptop)

''Luna: There is it! Time to delete that cringeworthy pop song!''

(Luna would log on to her account and delete the song. After 5 seconds, her 10 million subscribers resubscribed her)

Luna: Five seconds?! What, were 10 million people just refreshin' the page over and over to see if I'd delete the song?!

''Luna: Wow! that was fast!''

Lincoln: Yep, and now you got your subscribers back and you are made popular again!

''Luna: Yeah! For now on, I'm only gonna stick to rock and roll! Not pop, hip-hop, jazz, classical, country, or nursery rhymes!''

Lincoln: (smiles at Luna) That's my big sister.

(Lincoln and Luna head inside the house. When they got there, they see all the other sisters in front of them)

Lori: Well, how did it go?

Lincoln: Oh, Luna finally learned her lesson.

Lucy: ...to never do anything different ever again. What a good lesson.

''Luan: Great! Now Luna is not a "Luna"tic anymore! (laughs)''

Lola: ALRIGHT, WE GET IT ALREADY!

''Lynn: You see, little bro? I told you Luna would learn her lesson.''

Luna: So now that I deleted the pop song, am I allowed to be in the house again?

''Lori: Yes, Luna! Yes you are!''

Luna: (cheering) YEAH!

Lori: But...

Luna: But what?

Lori: Since your pillow and blanket has been on the backyard for 2 nights and 1 day, It's probably gonna need to be washed, which means you'll have to sleep with Lincoln tonight.

Lincoln: NOOOOOOOO!

[Lincoln gets a bemused look from everyone except Leni, Luna, Lola and Lisa.]

Luna: We really gotta show the rest of you that other story sometime...

''Lola: Yeah! Who would wanna sleep on their own bed without a pillow or blanket?''

''Luna: Oh! Okay, then! I'm just really glad that I'm back in the house again.''

Later that night...

(The scene would then cut to Lincoln's room. Lincoln and Luna are getting ready for bed)

Lincoln: Hey, Luna?

Luna: Hm?

Lincoln: I have one question to ask you.

Luna: What is it?

Lincoln: What made you want to do pop music?

''Luna: Well, you see, When I first thought of that song, I did wanna make it a rock song like all of my previous ones, but I then had this thought like "Wait! Instead of rock and roll, I can just make it a pop song!" And that was when I made it pop, I thought it was a great idea until you... Well, you know.''

Lincoln: Well, when you decide to make a song, always make it rock-

''Luna: I know, dude! You just told me this morning, remember?''

''Lincoln: Oh, yeah! Welp, goodnight, Luna!''

Luna: And there's our moral. Never, ever try to broaden your horizons. Just stick to one genre for the rest of your life.

Lincoln: In fact, why don't we all take this lesson to heart? From now on, Lynn can only play basketball, Lisa can only study chemistry, and Luan can only tell elephant jokes.

Luan, Lynn and Lisa: Hey!

Lori: No, no, Lincoln's right. He definitely knows what he's talking about. He is a mouse.

Luna: Goodnight, dude!

(Lincoln and Luna fall asleep)

THE END

EPILOGUE

(The scene would show Chunk sitting on the bench, staring at his phone)

''Chunk: (sighs) Luna will never learn her lesson. Just look at her-''

(Chunk would see all of her subscribers back and the pop song deleted)

Chunk: Wait, what?

(Chunk was amazed that Luna got her subscribers back. Chunk would then smile)

''Chunk: I guess you learned your mistake after all, Luna! I'm proud of you, mate! Really proud!''

[The eleven siblings just sit there in silence for a good, long while.]

Lisa: Luna, may I say something?

Luna: Sure.

Lisa: Time and time again, we've had to reiterate how much we love Lincoln, after coming across writers who insist on framing him as the black sheep of the family. In this story, we see you in that role - which is different, but not any less wrong.

Lori: We love you, Luna. All of us do.

Luna: I know.

Lori: And we'd never disown you, ever. For any reason. Especially not over a pop song we didn't like. You're too valuable for that.

''[Everyone group hugs Luna. Luna, starting to tear up and sniffle, returns the hug. After a moment, the hug ends and everyone returns to their original positions.]''

Luna: So... what now?

Lincoln: Well, this may sound like a silly idea, but remember how we decided that we're all going to be nicknamed after different animals?

Lucy: Yes...?

Lincoln: Well, how about we blow off some steam by romping around the house and pretending to be those animals.

Luan: Lincoln, no offense, but that's a pretty dopey idea.

Lincoln: Oh...

Luan: So if you want my vote, I'm going to have to say neigh!

''[Luan starts galloping around the room like a horse. Moments later, all of the other siblings join in on the fun.]''

Lola: Meow!

Lana: Oink, oink!

Lily: Rawr!

Lincoln: Squeak, squeak!

Luna: Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

Leni: Chaaange? Spare some chaaaange?

The End
