I wrote a little epilogue for it.

Luna: It's okay bro, I'm sorry for how I acted towards you.

Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa: We're sorry too.

(The rest of the sisters join the hug as they all smile happy to have Lincoln back to how he was)

Lincoln: Now I need to take care of a few things, first.

(Lincoln picks up his trophy he won for the contest and put it on his spot in the Trophy case)

Lincoln: (smiles) I did it, my first ever real trophy. And now...

(Lincoln goes to the computer and goes to his embarrassing video he uploaded of himself)

Lincoln: Time to delete this for good. (deletes the video)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Clyde: They’ve been doing some pretty harsh things to Lincoln ever since he posted that embarrassing video of them.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lynn Sr.: What kind of things?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Clyde: Well for one, they called him a disgusting freak and said nasty stuff about him not being their brother.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lynn Sr.: Oh, they did, did they?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">(The parents gasp in shock)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rita: (Stern) Well, we’ll be sure to talk to them as soon as possible.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lynn Sr. That's no excuse!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rita: And because of this, I’m afraid we have to punish you. The 9 of you are grounded for three weeks. Does that sound fair?

We're really sorry for saying those things to you and for not paying attention to you when you were depressed.

I'm also sorry for uploading that video in the first place. I just wanted my own achievement, something I could be proud of. But I just went about it the wrong way.

Sure we may get into issues like this one, but at the end, we’ll always find a way to get back together. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
