[Lynn and Lucy's room. Lynn is throwing a red ball around while video-chatting with Paula.]
Lynn: "Dude, I'm so stoked to watch the world Pickleball Championship at your place tomorrow. It's a can't-miss event."
Paula: [realizes] "Well, this is awkward. We're gonna have to miss it. My parents are taking us to Dairyland for the day."
Lynn: "What?!" [accidentally gets the ball in her mouth and spits it out] "Great. Now I have nowhere to watch it. We don't have all your cool cable channels." [realizes] "Hey, maybe if you tell your parents that, they'll let me come over and watch the game while you're gone!"
Paula: "That'd be a no. My parents said you're not allowed here after you spiked their priceless heirloom when your football team won the championship."
[She shows said heirloom, which is cracked and duct-taped up from Lynn spiking it. It immediately shatters, and Paula flinches.]
Lynn: "Yeah, I'm still really sorry about that. It just looked like a colorful football. Ugh, this stinks! What am I supposed to do now?!"


[The Louds are eating spaghetti and meatballs for dinner with Lori over.]
Rita: "So, sweetie, how's your new apartment in Mr. Grouse's garage?"
Lori: "OMG, it's literally the best. The water pressure in the shower is totes amaze. The kitchen sink is so deep I can wash my hair in it, all of it! The recess lighting makes my skin glow in video chats with Bobby, and the cable has, like, a zillion channels!"
[Lynn hears all this and is interested.]
Lincoln: "Does your place give off any evil lair vibes? Clyde and I need a location to shoot the ending of our new David Steele movie: The Real Steele." [jumps up on the table and accidentally knocks his plate over while striking poses with his fork as a gun as Lynn ducks] "Huh?"
[Lincoln's spaghetti and meatballs have ended up on Lori's face. She wipes it off.]
Lori: "Sorry, Lincoln. I'd love to watch you and Clyde blow up my new apartment in the name of art, but I kind of really want to keep this space to myself."
Lincoln: "But—"
Rita: "Lincoln, you need to respect Lori's privacy."
Lynn Sr.: "We all do."
[They hear Lori texting Bobby. Lynn Sr. gets up in Lori's face to see what she's up to.]
Lynn Sr.: [hypocritically] "Ooh, tell Bobby I said hi!" [Rita clears her throat to call out her husband.] "Oh, yeah, right. Privacy."
Lynn: [gets an idea] "Hmm..." [smiles]


[Lynn packs up all her stuff in a duffel bag while video-calling Paula, who's at Dairyland and riding the Cup of Whoa! ride.]
Paula: "It's so cool that your sister is letting you use her apartment to watch the game."
Lynn: "I didn't say that. I just said I was using her apartment."
Paula: "So you're what, just sneaking in?"
Lynn: "Normally I would totally respect Lori's privacy, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime pickleball game."
[She opens her window and watches as Lori leaves for work.]
Paula: [weakly] "Lynn, I'm feeling nauseous, and I don't know if it's this ride—" [nearly hurls] "—or your deceit."
Lynn: [closes her laptop] "Gotta go!"


[Mr. Grouse's house. Mr. Grouse is washing the dishes and humming to himself. Outside, Lynn peeks out of the bushes.]
Lynn: "It's game time."
[Crawling out from the bushes, Lynn hides inside a bush near Lori's apartment before opening the front door and getting inside.]
Lynn: "Ah, sweet!"
[She jumps on the couch and turns on Lori's TV to watch the Pickleball Championships. But before the game starts, Lynn hears a car driving outside. In panic, Lynn turns off the TV, sees Lori pull up to her apartment, and hides in the bathroom. As Lori unlocks the door, Lynn realizes she's forgotten her duffel bag, grabs it, and hides in the bathroom.]
Lori: [on the phone with Bobby] "I can't believe I forgot my purse, Boo-Boo Bear. You were supposed to remind me not to forget it." [searches in her TV drawer and couch] "Well, it's not my fault I forgot to tell you that!" [finds her purse on the kitchen counter] "Oh, found it!" [leaves]
[Lynn checks if the coast is clear. As Lori drives off, Lynn leaves while sighing in relief... only for the apartment to rumble. Leni, Lana, and the pets all leave from the curtain and couch and sigh in relief too. They all notice each other and gasp in shock.]
Lynn: "What the heck are you guys doing here?!"
Leni: "I heard what Lori said last night about the recess lighting..." [Flashback to Leni sneaking into Lori's apartment] "...and knew I had to record my totes important makeup tutorial here." [Leni does her makeup tutorial] "But then I heard someone coming."
[As the door rumbles, Leni gasps, grabs her makeup and phone, and hides in the curtains. It turns out to be Lana.]
Lana: [narrating] "And I heard Lori say how big the sink was and thought I could save some time and give all the pets a bath at once." [Lana whistles and has the pets enter. Later, while she's bathing all of them in Lori's sink, she hears the door rumble again.] "Then I heard someone coming."
[Lana gasps and hides with the pets in the couch as Lynn enters.]
Lynn: [narrating] "Well, I'm here 'cause Lori said she had a zillion cable channels, and there's a super-important game today."
[Back to the present.]
Leni: "I can't believe the three of us all had the same idea!"
[The ceiling rumbles, and Lola screams as she falls on the floor. Lynn and Leni yelp.]
Lola: [weakly] "Four of us." [gets up] "I have the Little Miss Calm and Relaxed Pageant today, and I am anything but!" [Flashback to Lola sneaking into Lori's apartment] "I heard Lori mention the incredible water pressure in her shower and thought it would help me relax. Then I heard someone coming."
[As someone rattles the door, Lola gasps, latches onto the lamp with her sash, and climbs up to hide. It turns out to be Leni. Back to the present.]
Lynn: "Okay, now it all makes sense."
Lana: "So what do we do now?"
Leni: "Respect Lori's privacy and leave?"
Lynn: "Oh, well, let's not be hasty. I mean, we all have a special reason to be here today, so we might as well stay. But just for today. And then we'll never disrespect Lori's privacy again."
Leni: "Deal."
Lana: "Agreed."
Lola: "One and done."


THE NEXT DAY
[Lori drives off from her apartment. As soon as she leaves, Lynn, Lana, Lola, and Leni slowly back up towards the apartment, neither initially aware of each other until they touch each other. They gasp and immediately enter Lori's apartment.]
Lynn: "What the heck are you all doing here again?"
Leni: "My makeup tutorial came out so well I decided to do my hair tutorial here, too."
Lana: "Lori's sink is so big I started a pet washing business."
Lola: "I won Little Miss Calm and Relaxed, of course, but now I have so many responsibilities I need another shower to destress! And why are you here again?"
Lynn: "Ping-Pong World series! It only happens every four years."
Leni: "So what do we do now?"
Lana: "Respect Lori's privacy and leave?"


[They stay anyway and do their activities. Lynn is drinking a Flippee while watching the Ping-Pong World Series with five cats. One of the cats asks for her Flippee and starts drinking as soon as she hands her cup over. Their enjoyment is ruined when Lola starts singing in the shower, causing three dogs Lana is washing to start howling. The cat drinking Lynn's Flippee accidentally spills it onto another cat.]
Lynn: "Uh, hey, Lans, can you ask your dogs to be quiet? Your cats and I are trying to watch the game."
Lana: "Sorry. They're just responding to Lola's off-key shower singing."
[Lola exits the shower clad in a towel.]
Lola: [offended] "I have the voice of an angel!" [resumes singing] "♫ Laaaaaaaaaaaaa~ ♫" [Her singing is drowned out by the sound of a hairdryer] "Hmph. Besides, I'm only singing to drown out the sound of Leni's hairdryer!"
[Leni is indeed drying her hair with a massive hairdryer when it suddenly stops working, causing her to check what's wrong with it. Lana has unplugged the hairdryer.]
Lana: [sighs] "This is clearly not going to work. There's only one thing to do."
Lynn: "Respect Lori's privacy and leave?"
Lana: "No. Make a schedule so we can all use the apartment by ourselves!"
Lynn: "Of course!"
Lola: "Right!"


[In the backyard, Lynn has stolen Lisa's whiteboard and finishes drawing a table for herself, Leni, and the twins to use Lori's apartment.]
Lynn: "Okay, I borrowed Lisa's whiteboard and downloaded Lori's Burnt Bean schedule from her phone so we can block out time in Lori's apartment." [checks her name on Tuesday] "I need Lori's place today to watch a hot dog-eating contest. Technically, it's not a sport, but it's fun to watch people puke out hot dogs."
Leni and Twins: "Blech!"
Leni: "I'd like tomorrow morning for my tutorial on helpful headwear hints." [dons a top hat]
Lana: "I just signed the Royal Woods Zoo as a client, so could I have all day Thursday to watch the rhinos?"
[Lynn adds a check on Wednesday for Leni and Thursday for Lana.]
Lola: "As Little Miss Calm and Relaxed, I'll be cutting the ribbon for the scented candle factory, so could I have Friday morning to shower?"
[Lynn adds a check on Friday for Lola. Enter Lori.]
Lori: "Hey, guys. What's up?"
[The four sisters panic, and Lynn kicks Lisa's whiteboard away.]
Lola: "Time for work, Lori?" [realizes] "I mean, I'm just guessing." [chuckles] "I don't know your work schedule. Why would I? That would be weird. Okay, someone else talk now."
Lori: "No work for me this week. The Burnt Bean had to close for 'emergency bean-ovations', so I figured I'd just chill in my apartment this afternoon." [leaves]
Lynn: "No! I can't miss the puking—I mean, hot dog-eating contest today!"
Lola: "You won't. I got you." [goes to Lori's apartment] "Hey, Lori! How about some sister bonding mani-pedis at the mall?"
Lori: "EEEEE!!!"
[Lori's squealing is so loud Lola is sent flying and collapses on the ground. Lori opens her door, grabs Lola, and drags her along for the mani-pedis. Seeing her chance, Lynn enters Lori's apartment to watch the hot dog-eating contest.]


[The living room. Leni is reading an issue of Sixteen 1/2 Magazine when Lana shows up and grabs Leni by the face.]
Lana: "Leni, help! Lori's still home, and I need to wash this sack of dirty iguanas!" [shows said sack]
Leni: "Mm." [phones Lori] "Lori, I have the latest issue of Sixteen 1/2 Magazine, and we need to take all 40 of the new quizzes."
Lori: "EEEEEE!!!"
[Lori's squealing is so loud is blows back Leni's hair. Lori sprints into the Loud House, grabs Leni's magazine, and starts looking for the quizzes, oblivious to Lana sneaking out of the house. Lana winks and thumbs-ups Leni, who winks and thumbs-ups back.]


[Early morning. Lana leads Lori out of her apartment.]
Lana: "That's right, one free oil change. Now I wanna do it at the park, where the view will be more soothing for your car."
[As soon as Lori is out of sight, Lola sneaks in.]


[Evening. Lynn leads Lori out of her apartment.]
Lynn: "Trust me, the hot yoga at the gym in Hazeltucky is the hottest."
[Leni, who has been hiding in a bush, sneaks inside and takes the bush with her.]


[Night. Lori leaves her apartment while calling Carol.]
Lori: "Carol, meet me at the Cineplex. Apparently I won some radio contest and got two free movie tickets! I don't even listen to the radio."
[Lynn has been clinging to the door. As soon as Lori is gone, Lynn sneaks in.]


[Lori's apartment. Lynn is going over the schedule with the twins.]
Lynn: "I'll take Lori tomorrow. Lola, you get her on Wednesday. Lana has her on Thursday, and Leni is out with her today."
[They toast with glasses of water and start drinking, but...]
Leni: "Ooh, what are we toasting?"
[The three spit their water in shock. Leni is indeed inside the apartment as well.]
Lola: "Leni, what are you doing here?! You're supposed to be keeping Lori occupied!"
Leni: "Nuh-uh. You said yesterday I'd have her tomorrow, and it's only today."
[Lynn and the twins are dumbfounded by Leni's ditziness on display.]
Twins and Lynn: [flatly] "What?"
[They suddenly hear Lori pull up and panic before hiding in the bathroom. When they hear Lori unlock the bathroom, they promptly hide in the shower. Lori walks in texting and turns on the shower, only to accidentally get the four wet as they yelp in shock. Lori is suspicious when she hears them and is about to open the curtains to check when she hears someone knocking on the door.]
Lori: "Be right there!" [turns off the shower and leaves]
[The drenched sisters pull back the curtains with Lola spitting out some water.]
Lori: "Hey, Mr. Grouse."
[An angry Mr. Grouse shows up with three bills.]
Mr. Grouse: "What in tarnation is going on in here, Loud?!" [hands her several bills] "I just got the water bill, the electric bill, and the cable bill for this apartment, and they're higher than my blood pressure! And with your family next door, it's really high!"
Lori: "What?" [checks the bills] "How can they be so bad? I'm literally never here! I don't know how this happened!" [sheepishly] "I also don't have the money to pay them..."
Mr. Grouse: "Oh, fine." [snatches her bills] "I'll pay them, but I gotta tell ya, I had no idea you were gonna be such an expensive tenant." [grumbles] "You know what? I think it might be better if you find somewhere else to live."
Lori: [disheartened] "I totes understand, Mr. Grouse. I'll start looking for a new place right away. I'm really sorry."
[Enter Leni, Lynn, and the twins, shocking both Lori and Mr. Grouse.]
Lynn: "You don't have anything to be sorry for, Lori."
Leni: "Yeah, this is all our fault. We're responsible for the high bills."
Lola: "We've been using your apartment when you weren't here."
Lori: [irate] "WHAT?!"
[Her yell is so strong it blows off all the water from her drenched sisters.]
Lana: "We knew we weren't respecting your privacy, but we didn't realize we were ruining your life."
Lynn: "To show you how sorry we are, we'll find a way to earn enough money to pay your bills."
Leni: "What do you say, Mr. Grouse? If we pay the bills, can Lori stay?"
Mr. Grouse: "Hmm..." [The sisters grimace] "Hmm, yeah, she can stay."
[Lori sighs in relief as her sisters cheer.]
Mr. Grouse: [whispers to Lori] "But you should definitely change the locks." [leaves]
Lana: "Are you gonna yell at us now? Go ahead. We deserve it."
Lori: "You sure do. But I understand why you were sneaking over for some alone time. I know how crowded our house can get." [The sisters smile] "Now bring it in."
[They share a group hug, but...]
Lincoln: "It's gonna be so cool shooting the end of our movie in Lori's apartment." [Lincoln and Clyde are outside Lori's apartment in David Steele gear, ready to finish shooting their latest David Steele movie.] "Honestly, I can't believe no one else thought of sneaking into her place."
[He opens Lori's door, only to be met with the glares of the sisters. Realizing Leni, Lynn, and the twins had already stolen his idea of sneaking into Lori's apartment, he screams before he and Clyde run for it. The sisters laugh at this. The end.]
