Hello, Steven again. RIght now, here's part two of my own version of The Loud House Christmas special, 11 Louds A Leapin'. In this part, from where we left off where I helped Lincoln get his sled back. Then, I helped tried to keep things chill in The Loud House. And I also added a little cute moment where I got kissed on the cheeks on my face from both Lori and Leni. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, I tried my best and I'm giving it to you. I do not own anything from the show, the characters, the stories, and the locations. It belongs to its rightful owners, the creators, the directors, the writers, the producers, and the crew. Enjoy and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

[The door is about to open and Lincoln and Steven are shaking with fear.

Steven: What are we going to do?

Lincoln: I’m thinking.

''[Mr. Grouse steps in and unfolds his newspaper. Lincoln and Steven are hiding behind the drapes and notices he's missing his scarf. As soon as Grouse has his back turned, he grabs it and hides again. Grouse takes off his coat and hat and opens the drapes as Lincoln and Steven sneaks off to the kitchen. He opens the cabinet which catches Grouse's attention. He checks the cabinet only to find that it's empty and steps on something, which turns out to be Lincoln's hand. Lincoln is about to yelp in pain only to stop himself, but Steven covers his mouth.]''

Mr. Grouse: [shivering] "Hoo...cold."

[He lights a match to throw into his fireplace while two pair of eyes pop out of it.]

Mr. Grouse: "Aw, dang. All out of wood."

''[The pair of eyes blows at the match to put the match out. As  leaves to get more wood, Lincoln comes out of the fireplace, while Steven comes out after him, then Mr. Grouse notices some footsteps.]''

Mr. Grouse: What the?

[Lincoln and Steven are about to head to the backdoor only to get caught.]

Mr. Grouse: "Gotcha!"

[Lincoln screams and launches his sled into the air only for it to crash and shatter into a bunch of pieces.]

Lincoln: [heartbroken] "Big Red!"

Steven: [to Mr. Grouse] What the heck?! You scared the gumdrops out of us! And look what you made us do!

Mr. Grouse: "Serves you right, you little thief!"

Lincoln: "I'm not a thief!  You're  the thief! You stole my sled and now it's broken!"

Mr. Grouse: "My yard, my property! I'm calling your folks right now!" [dials the number for the Loud House] "They'll straighten you out."

''[Over at the Loud House, the phone is ringing, but there's too much going on involving Lincoln's sisters for them to hear it. Rita is nailing a wreath on the doorway, Lola is holding the ladder for her, Leni is thinking of what to make her next outfit out of, Luan is thinking of more Christmas puns, Lynn is lifting Lucy who is looking through the vent for their presents, Luna is still thinking of lyrics for her song, Lisa is reading a science book, Lori is still fighting the urge to open her giant present, and Lily is chasing Cliff and the two of them get nabbed in another of Lana's reindeer traps.]''

Lana: "YEEEEEES!!!"

Mr. Grouse: "No one's answering. Probably can't even hear the phone over all that racket." [hangs up and drags Lincoln to the fireplace.] "Till I reach your folks, you can clean up the mess you made." [hands Lincoln a broom]

Steven: Mr. Grouse, listen. We’re not usually thieves, we just wanted this little boy’s sled back.

Mr. Grouse: I don’t care about the holidays! Just keep sweeping!

Lincoln: "Why do you have to be so mean all the time? I just wanted my sled back." [points to the photo he saw earlier] "You of all people should understand that. You had one, too."

Mr. Grouse: [tilting the photo down] "Stop snoopin' and start sweepin'!" [hears the phone ring] "Ah, that's probably them. Get to work!" [Lincoln and Steven angily sweeps as Mr. Grouse goes to answer.] "Hello? Oh, hey, Junie. Sorry I didn't call back."

[As he speaks to Junie, Lincoln and Steven overhears it, stops sweeping, and listens carefully.]

Mr. Grouse: [sadly] "No, it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it back for Christmas after all. I'm sorry. I know it's been five years, but I just don't have the money to travel this Christmas."

''[Lincoln then notices a photo of Mr. Grouse with his family and feels sorry. Steven looks at the picture too. He feels sympathetic to him.]''

Mr. Grouse: "Tell the girls Uncle Buddy says hi and loves them whole bunches. I miss you, too." [hangs up and comes back] "I thought I told you to clean up your mess!"

Lincoln: "I didn't know you were from a big family."

Mr. Grouse: "What's it to ya?"

Lincoln: "Well, it's just, it must be hard not to see them at Christmas."

Steven: Yeah, where’s your heart and spirit?

Mr. Grouse: "Enough! Go on home!" [shows Lincoln the door]

Lincoln: "So, you're  not  gonna tell my parents?"

Mr. Grouse: "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

[Lincoln and Steven leaves and Grouse slams the door on him.]

Steven: Man, every Christmas from now, we’ll be start calling him Ebenezer Grouse. Or worse, I think we’ve been humbugged by him. By not seeing his family on Christmas, that’s terrible.

Lincoln: Yeah, now I understand why he’s cold and lonely?

Steven: [feeling sad] I guess I give you some time alone for a while. I’ll just head back in the house and see what your sisters are doing?

''[Steven goes back into the Loud house, leaving poor Lincoln thinking about what happened. After learning what he found out, Lincoln feels terrible for his neighbor until he gets an idea. Just then, he gets a call from Clyde.]''

Clyde: [on the walkie-talkie] "Come in, Sled Man Walking." [Lincoln picks up] "Are you okay? I'm sorry I compromised the mission. One minute, I was in your yard, the next, I was six blocks away. I broke my mistletoe. So long, holiday smooch."

Lincoln: "Sorry, Turtledove. Everything's okay here though. Rescuing Big Red was a bust, but now, I've got a new mission. I'll call you back with the plan." [signs off and heads home]

[Inside the Loud House, Lily is chasing Geo, Lola is vacuuming and dusting, Luan is making a popcorn string, Lisa is still reading her book, and Lucy is contacting spirits as Lynn watches on with hope.]

Lucy: "Oh, Ghost of Christmas Past...reveal to us where the presents are hidden."

Lynn: [anxious] "What'd he say? What'd he say?"

Steven: I think he’s saying that you guys have been drinking too much Egg Nog. Or maybe it was just me.

Luan: "You two definitely have the Christmas spirit!" [chuckles and presses her remote] "That's eleven!"

Steven: Cute. Really cute joke.

''[The counter now reads 11. Cliff avoids a bear trap Lana laid out. Steven feels startled.]''

Steven: Lana! Be careful with that bear trap! Or else, Santa will be very upset.

Lana: Sorry, Steven. I’m just testing out this new trap to catch a reindeer.

Steven: Just go and play with your toys.

Lori: [stir-crazy] "Can't take it any longer! MUST OPEN!" [rushes toward her present]

Steven: Uh oh. Lana! Red alert!

Lana: [lassos her with the lights] "Whoa, girl!" [drags her back]

Luna: "Guys, can you chill? I'm trying to write and I'm down to the wire!" [inspired] "Ooh! Maybe that's it!" [starts playing and singing] "♫Down to the wire / Santa's on fire♫" [groaning] "I'm never gonna get this!"

Steven: Relax Luna. Don’t get yourself in the winter blues.

Luna: I’m sorry. I’m still struggling.

Steven: Don’t worry Luna, I’ll help you with that song.

[Lincoln comes inside]

Lincoln: "Guys!"

Steven: Hey Lincoln. Did you come up with an idea to cheer up Mr. Grouse.

Lincoln: Yes, but I really needed my sisters’ attention. Guys!

''[Little does he know that a lot has been happening since he was outside upon seeing the insanity. Enter Leni with yet another new Christmas outfit.]''

Leni: "Okay, forget that old rag I was wearing before. This is the perfect Christmas outfit!"

Steven: Your outfit looks nice, Leni. But I really like the two that you wear earlier, but you look absolutely nice.

Leni: Thanks.

Rita: [noticing something amiss by the chimney.] "What happened to the stockings? Seriously, why does everything keep disappearing?"

[Leni shushes everyone again]

Lincoln: "GUYS!"

Steven: EVERYONE! Can we have Lincoln’s attention!

''[He still can't get their attention and Lily pops out of one of the stockings on Leni's outfit. Just then, a foul stench hits both their nostrils. Even Steven holds his nostrils from the foul stench.]''

Leni: [plugging her nose] "Oh, Lily, you didn't!"

Steven: [plugging his nose] Relax Leni. It’s just your father with his cooking.

[Enter their dad with the figgy pudding.]

Lynn Sr.: "Hey hey hey! I need a taste tester for my figgy pudding!"

Leni: [to Lily] "Oh, phew. It wasn't you."

Lola: "I'll do it, Daddy! Your figgy pudding is always the highlight of my Christmas!" [looking skyward desperately]"You're seeing this, right, Santa?"

Lisa: [almost done with her candy cane] "Truly pathetic."

'[Her dad feeds Lola some of the pudding.]

Lola: [chews it forcefully] "Mmm...figgy!"

Lincoln: "GUYS!!! WOULD YOU JUST STOP AND LISTEN TO ME FOR A SECOND?!"

Steven: YES!!! NOW EVERYBODY STOP!

[The girls stop and notice their brother and their visitor.]

Steven: Thank you. Lincoln, proceed.

Lincoln: "I was just in Mr. Grouse's House..."

[The girls start complaining about their neighbor.]

Lola: "That big meanie?"

Leni: "He dresses, like, horribly!"

Lori: "He is literally awful!"

Lincoln: "He's not that bad. Well, he is, but now I think I know why."

[Cut to an exterior shot of the house as time passes and back inside with Lincoln finishing explaining to his sisters why Mr. Grouse is the way he is.]

Lincoln: "...And then he told me to leave."

[His sisters' heartstrings are tugged at upon hearing this.]

Steven: That’s why he’s all grumpy and lonely.

Lori: [on the verge of tears] "That is literally so sad!"

Lana: [downtrodden] "I can't believe he has a big family, too."

Luan: [heartbroken] "And he can't be with them? That's awful!"

Leni: "Seeing all of us together must make him miss them even more."

Steven: I know, but you know what’s worse, his heart is really small.

Lisa: "Usually, I'm impervious to human emotions, but..." [bursts into tears and sobs over the news.]

Lola: [remorseful] "No wonder he's such a grumpy-butt this time of year."

Luan: "How did we not notice this?"

Lori: [pushes her present aside] "Maybe because we've been so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays."

Lynn: "Yeah. We were so worried about what we were getting."

Lucy: [blows out her candles] "When we should have been worried about what we were  giving ."

Lola: "And isn't that what Christmas is all about?"

Luna: [gasps with inspiration] "Dudes! That's it! No wonder I couldn't nail my song! I've been going about it all wrong!" [goes upstairs to write it]

Lincoln: "We need to do something for Mr. Grouse."

Sisters: "Yeah!"

Lori: "But what can we do?"

Steven: Yeah Lincoln, what are we going to do to cheer Mr. Grouse up and give him the best Christmas he'll ever have.

Lincoln: "I have a plan!" [huddles up with them] "Okay, the first thing we do..."

[As he explains the plan, the scene trails off from their house to Mr. Grouse's. He closes the blinds not wanting to see what they're talking about.]

[Later that night, Mr. Grouse is getting some sleep in his lounger until a mysterious sound wakes him up.]

Voices: "♫Ooooooooh♫"

Mr. Grouse: [waking up] "Huh? Who? What? Can't get a moment's peace." [turns on the light and goes outside to see something that surprises him.]

[Steven, the Louds and the McBrides are all caroling in front of his house.]

Steven, Louds and McBrides: "♫Ooooooooh♫"

Luna:

"♫I used to think that Christmas was

About the wish list filled with stuff

I never really needed, anyway♫"

[Lori presses a button and lights up Mr. Grouse's house and yard with decorations.]

Luna:

"♫But as long as we're together

It's a holiday♫"

[Everyone joins in as Luna starts strumming her guitar.]

Steven, Louds and McBrides:

"♫It's not what you get, it's what you give

We've got the spirit, clear and loud

Ditch the list, hug who you're with

'Cause that's what Christmas is all about!

It's what you give, not what you get

We've got the hard part figured out

This year will be the best one yet

'Cause that's what Christmas is all about!

Merry Christmas from the Louds!♫

HO!!!"

''[Mr. Grouse is still standing surprised from their caroling.]''

Lincoln: "Merry Christmas, Mr. Grouse."

Lana: "We all chipped in and got you something."

Steven: Yes. Open it.

[Lincoln gives him the present and Mr. Grouse opens it.]

Lynn: "It's a bus ticket."

Luan: "So you can go see your family for Christmas tomorrow."

Rita: "And since you can't be with them tonight..."

[Rita and Lynn Sr. finally reveal their faces.]

Rita: "...we're bringing  our  family to you."

Lynn Sr.: "How 'bout it, neighbor?"

[Everyone huddles together and smiles.]

Mr. Grouse: [sternly] "LOUDS!!!" ''[as everyone gets scared. Grouse smile in a thankful tone] "You've made this the best Christmas ever. Thank you. [Louds and company smile]'' I'd say you all landed permanent spots on Santa's nice list."

Lola: [joyfully] "Even me?"

Mr. Grouse: "Even you."

[Lola runs up and hugs Mr. Grouse's leg.]

Steven: And so, his heart now grew three times the size.

Lisa: "Once again..." [bursts into tears and sobs again.]

Mr. Grouse: "Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone inside!"

[Inside Mr. Grouse's house, to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas, the twins are setting the table for Christmas dinner, Rita is helping Lily put the star on top of the tree, and everyone is doing what they can to make the house more festive.]

Luan: "There, Mr. Grouse. Now it's not so gloomy in here."

Lucy: "Yeah, you ruined it."

Steven: Don’t worry, Lucy. Next time I’ll decorate with some pumpkin ornaments, and maybe paper skeletons.

Lucy: Thank you Steven.

Leni: "Guys, I finally made the perfect Christmas outfit!"

[Everyone looks at the outfit wondering why it's not Christmas themed.]

Steven: It better not be another one of your outfits, Leni.

Leni: "It's not for me. It's for Mr. Grouse. You can wear it on your trip tomorrow." [puts it on him]

Mr. Grouse: "Well, thank you." [notices something] "What happened to my curtains?"

[Leni shushes him]

Lynn Sr.: "Chow time in five, people!"

Mr. Grouse: "Before we sit down, there's something I'd like to say."

Lynn: [chanting] "Speech! Speech! Speech!"

[Lori nudges her to stop]

Mr. Grouse: "Well, I know I haven't always been the friendliest neighbor, and I'm sorry about that. You've all given me so much tonight, now I'd like to give something to you."

Lola: "We take checks."

''[Lori nudges her for that statement. Mr. Grouse opens his closet and reveals all the stuff that landed in his yard and he took as his own.]''

The Loud Sisters: [gasp] "ALL OUR STUFF!!!"

[They all gather to get their stuff back with cheers.]

Lana: [holding up her plunger] "PLUNGEY!!!"

Mr. Grouse: [to Lincoln] "I'm sorry your sled was broken."

Lincoln: "That's alright. It's only a sled. I'm just glad we're friends now."

[The two of them smile at each other.]

Howard: [overjoyed] "Oh, Hare-Bear. Isn't this the most wonderful thing you've ever seen?"

Harold: "Now, Howie, remember what Dr. Lopez said about-" [shaking it off] "Oh, forget Dr. Lopez! This  is  the most wonderful thing I've ever seen!"

''[Both Clyde's dads walk off sobbing with happiness. Lori walks up to Clyde.]''

Lori: "Clyde, you know what you're standing under, don't you?" [points to a mistletoe]

''[Clyde realizes this and starts shaking. Lori gives him a smooch on his cheek.]''

Lori: "Merry Christmas, Clyde."

Clyde: [blushing and lovestruck] "And to all a good night." [faints]

[Steven comes in and looks at fainted Clyde.]

Steven: Man that Clyde is very lucky this Christmas.

[Steven looks around and notices Lori and Leni standing next to him.]

Steven: Uh, what are you doing?

Leni: Look up.

[Steven realizes that he’s standing under the mistletoe.]

Steven: [blushing] Oh my.

[Lori and Leni gives a smooch on his cheeks.]

Lori: Merry Christmas Steven.

Leni: Yeah. Merry Christmas.

Steven: [blushing] Thanks Lori. And thank you Leni, you beautiful turtle dove.

Leni: Aw. Thanks.

Lynn Sr.: "Come on, everybody, sit! Dinner is served! And save some room for the figgy pudding!"

[Everyone rushes over to the table to join for dinner.]

[Christmas morning]

Loud Family: "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" [open up their presents]

[Lisa got a new meteorite, Luna got a new banjo, Lincoln got a new video game, Lily got a new teddy bear, Lucy got a glittering Edwin bust, Luan got a magic and comedy kit, Steven got a video camera, Lynn got new cleats, Leni got new high-heel shoes, Lana got a medieval war fortress play set, and Lola got a princess castle play set.]

Rita: "Well, that's all the Christmas presents. Time to start decorating for Valentine's Day!"

Steven: Come on, Mrs. Loud. We still have New Year’s Day we had to get into.

Rita: You’re right. We’ll get the snacks tomorrow.

Lori: "Wait! I still have one more!" [shows her giant present she's been waiting to open.] "I saved the best for last!"

Steven: Wow Lori. That’s a huge present. What’s in it? Is it a new arcade cabinet? Or a new sound system?

Lori: I don’t know, let’s see. [shakes it]

Present: "Ow!"

''[Everyone looks on awkwardly over what made that noise. ''

Steven: Uh Lori. Why did your present suddenly made that noise?

[Lori opens it up and reveals it to be her boyfriend.]

Bobby: [weary] "Merry Christmas, Babe..."

Steven: Bobby?

Lori: [gasps] "Boo-Boo Bear?"

Steven: Oh. It’s you Bobby. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Bobby. [hugs him] Are you alright? How did you get inside that giant present all Christmas Eve? You could’ve suffocated yourself in that.

Bobby: "I couldn't find anything good enough to buy you for our first Christmas together, so I decided to give you myself."

​​​​Lori: "Ah. That's literally the perfect gift." [hugs him] "Oh, I got you a present, too."

Steven: Yeah Bobby, you can stay for the feast.

Bobby: "I hope it's food and water."

Steven: Don’t worry Bobby. We got plenty of food this Christmas feast. Besides, you can lay on my side of my bed.

Bobby: Thank you Steven.

Lisa: "Santa sure was good to us this year."

Steven & Louds: "SANTA?!"

Lola: [credulous] "Oh, I thought you didn't believe in him."

Lisa: "I didn't until I spied him leaving a present behind the couch last night." [shows a picture of what appears to be Santa labeled "SANTICUS CLAUSIMUS".] "Behold!"

[Everyone gasps at the photo]

Steven: Wow. I guess you really are a gifted child.

Lisa: Thank you, my fellow bundle of joy.

Steven: Well it looks like we got everything we wanted this Christmas. Especially our Christmas spirit.

Lynn: [noticing something behind the couch] "There  is  a present back here. And it's addressed to Lincoln."

[Lincoln opens it up and finds it's a new sled.]

Lincoln: "Wow!"

[The rest of his family and Steven are just as surprised as him.]

Steven: It’s a new sled.

Lincoln: [notices the label] "A Fearsome Flyer 1000?"

''[This gets him to realize who really left it for him. He rushes outside and catches Mr. Grouse just before he leaves.]''

Lincoln: "Hey, Mr. Grouse. Thanks for the sled."

Mr. Grouse: "Don't thank me. Thank Santa." [winks] "Merry Christmas, Lincoln."

Lincoln: "Merry Christmas, Mr. Grouse!"

[Steven comes out to pat Lincoln’s head.]

Steven: I’m proud of you Lincoln.

Lincoln: Thanks. Merry Christmas, Steven.

Steven: Merry Christmas, to you too, Lincoln.

[Lincoln runs off to try his sled.]

Lincoln: [to the viewers.] "Well, another Christmas has come and gone. But this year, I got the best present ever: a new friend. I think from now on, things are gonna be pretty different around here." [puts on his helmet and sleds down the slide again.] "Ha ha! Yeah!"

[The Fearsome Flyer 1000 hits the rock just like Big Red did, and this time, crashes through Mr. Grouse's window.]

Mr. Grouse: [livid] "LOUD!!!"

Lincoln: [worried] "Maybe not that different." [rushes off]

[As he runs away, Luan pops up.]

Luan: [to the viewers] "Well, I guess that about wraps things up! YES! I DID IT!" [presses her remote and the counter finally reads 12.] "That's twelve! Merry Christmas!" [gets snared in one of Lana's reindeer traps with her fake antlers sticking out.] "Aah!"

Lana: [jumping with joy] "WOO-HOO! I FINALLY GOT ONE!"
