[The Burnt Bean: Paraag is pouring cream into a customer's coffee, and then he hands it to her. She sips it and walks off.]
Luan: [runs up] "Paraag! Guess what I found posted on the bulletin bean!"
Paraag: [dismayed] "Is it my mid-sneeze yearbook photo? My younger sister's been posting those everywhere!" [The screen pans to the bulletin bean, which has several pictures of him sneezing.]
Luan: [disgusted] "Ooh, yeah. We really should take those down. Pretty rough, buddy. But look at this!" [She hands him a flyer.] "That wealthy guy from Huntington Oaks, Reginald Robertson Riley III, is awarding an artist grant! The winner will be a gifted high school student who dazzles him and a live audience in a performance piece of their choice!"
Paraag: "Ooh!" [He places a coffee mug on his head and walks out from the counter.] "I could have a coffee cup balancing act!" [The coffee spills onto his shoes, and the heat makes his face steam up and turn red. He screams in pain, and the building shakes. He hops around, clutching his foot.] "Why didn't I start with cold brew?!"
Luan: [thinks] "If I want to win this, I gotta whip up a new comedy act."
[Just then, the door opens, and Luna runs inside with the same flyer.]
Luna: "Check it out! That Triple-R guy's awarding a grant." [hops onto the counter] "I'm gonna write a song and go from rockin' the casbah to rockin' with cash, bra!" [She slides along the counter, but she accidentally hits a carafe, which hits Paraag, who is trying to balance cold brew coffee in more mugs.]
Paraag: [He is shivering and covered in ice.] "Cold brew is even worse!"
Luna: "My bad, Paraag."
Luan: [walks up] "Ooh, I was just saying how I'm gonna enter that competition. But I don't want to go up against you."
Luna: [ruffles her sister's head] "You should totally go for it, little sis! No competition is gonna come between us!"
Luan: "Hey, you're right! We can even help with each other's acts!"
Luna: [hops down] "Exactly! We'll be each other's biggest fans!"
[The next day, Luna is in the garage, tuning her ax.]
Luan: [She approaches her sister, wearing gloves and goggles.] "To give you more time to work on your song, I covered your bathroom cleaning doody." [laughs] "Mr. Coconuts' tiny hands were perfect for reaching those trickier spots." [Mr. Coconuts is also wearing gloves and goggles, and he has a tiny toilet plunger.]
Mr. Coconuts: [shivering] "Oh, the horrors I've seen."
Luna: [touched] "Wow, thanks, sis. You're the best!"
[Just then, Lola drives up in her Princess Ride.]
Lola: [She lifts her sunglasses and sniffs.] "Mmm, I knew I smelled drama brewing." [She approaches her sisters.] "You two are in some sort of competition." [She pops up next to them, scaring them.] "In the performing arts?" [Then she gets between them and smells, knocking them over.] "And there's money involved!" [gets devious] "Ooh, this is going to get messy!" [She approaches her car.]
Luna: "No mess here, dude." [She and Luan walk over.] "We're rootin' for each other. And I've already decided, a win for either of us is a win for both of us." [She and Luan smile at each other, which annoys Lola.]
Lola: [unconvinced] "Uh-huh, sure." [smells] "Ooh, I smell more drama!" [hops in her car] "Bobby accidentally liked another girl's photo!" [She puts on her sunglasses, pops a wheelie, and drives off to tell Lori. Luna and Luan are coughing and annoyed.]
[In their room, Luna is massaging her sister's shoulders, and Luan is very relaxed.]
Luan: "Thanks for helping me loosen up. My funny bone's been acting up lately." [She rolls her arm, and her funny bone cracks.]
Luna: "Anytime, sis." [They smile.]
[Next, Luna is writing a song in a notebook on the porch, humming. Luan approaches her with a cup of hot tea.]
Luan: "I made you some herbal tea to soothe your vocal cords. I even used fresh mint." [Luna is pleased.]
Luna: [She places the notebook and pencil down and takes the teacup.] "Oh-ho, yeah, thanks." [She sips it.]
Luan: "My pleasure."
[Then, in the kitchen, Luna is making a snack tray for Luan, and the snack tray is in the shape of Luan's head with her clown hat and wig. It has a happy face.]
Luna: [She places two blueberries in the snack tray's eyes.] "Aaannnd...voila! Some snacks to help inspire Luan!"
[She takes the snack tray up to their room, but as she approaches, there is jazz music playing. As she looks inside, she sees Leni, Lincoln, Lana, and Lily laughing and clapping as Luan and Mr. Coconuts stand on their stage. Luan bows to her audience, and Luna presses herself against the wall as her other siblings exit the room.]
Lincoln: "I think that's the hardest I've ever laughed!"
Lily: [clutching her bladder] "Lily laugh so hard, go pee-pee!"
[Everyone laughs again, and Luna suddenly gets nervous.]
Luna: "Man, her act must be totally rad. I've gotta up my game if I wanna stand a chance against her." [She glares at the snack tray, then she tosses it away.] "Less cured meats, more sick beats!"
[She runs off, but as she does, the tray slides off the wall, and the snack arrangement's happy face has become a sad face. Salami falls down the screen as the scene transition.]
[Luan is walking through the backyard, carrying a can of Wood-Max Varnish for Luna.]
Mr. Coconuts: "You can polish Luna's guitar, but leave me some varnish. I got a date Saturday."
[As Luan approaches the garage, she sees Lucy and Lisa dancing.]
Luan: "Whoa, what's up with you two?"
Lisa: "Luna played her number for us, and it really got my gluteus moving to the maximus!"
Lucy: [stops] "Gasp." [resumes] "Is this what it feels like to be..." [The background behind her becomes a blue sky, with the sun and a flower giving cute faces, giggling.] "...alive?" [Lucy snaps herself out of it and shudders, feeling dizzy. Then she runs off.] "I need to go lie down in my coffin for awhile."
[Luan and Mr. Coconuts are horrified, so they shake their heads.]
Mr. Coconuts: "If Luna's act is good enough to give Lucy a pulse, our act isn't gonna cut it, Toots!"
Luan: "You're right! We need a new angle!" [She tosses the wood varnish away and leaves.]
[Later, Luan and Mr. Coconuts peek out the front door, and Luan gasps as a box is bouncing on its own on the porch.]
Luan: "My pogo-cycle is here!" [She and Mr. Coconuts drag the box inside the house, but then Luna comes down the stairs.]
Luna: "Ooh, what'd ya get?" [She reaches out, but Mr. Coconuts slaps her hand away.]
Luan: [stammers] "Uhh, nothing!" [She laughs nervously, but Luna is suspicious.]
Luna: "Hmm..."
Boris: [offscreen] "Boris has arrived!" [The camera pans to the door, and he is dressed in white and purple, like Mick Swagger.] "And he has the choreo down!" [begins dancing] "Watch out! Can't stop Boris now!"
[Luna, Luan, and Mr. Coconuts are stunned. The latter two close each other's mouths. Luna nervously groans and motions with her fingers near her neck.]
Luan: [suspicious as well] "Are you adding backup dancers to your act?"
Luna: "What?! Pfft, naw, I'd never take advantage of Boris' super hollow and flexible bones for backup dancing." [elbows him] "Right, Boris?" [Boris nods vigorously, and he and Luna grin nervously. Luna and Luan glare at each other, now getting suspicious of each other's motives. Luan and Mr. Coconuts take the box while Luna pushes Boris outside.] "Well, gotta go!"
Luan: "See ya!"
[That night, Luan places her phone on the nightstand beside the lamp in her and Luna's room.]
Luan: "Alright, here we go, and..." [She begins recording, then she gets onto her pogo-cycle with a horn and three juggling bowling pins. She plays the horn while juggling the bowling pins and hopping on the pogo-cycle, but Luna opens the door in annoyance.]
Luna: "Ugh, what's with the-- Huh?!" [She and Luan notice each other.]
Luan: "Agh!" [She quickly throws her things out the window, and then a flat note is heard as they hit the ground. Luan tries to act nonchalant.] "Ooh, look at that. It's bedtime." [She pretends to yawn and takes off her helmet.] "Good night." [dashes off]
Luna: "Hmm..."
[Later that night, Luna is in bed.]
Luna: [thinking] "Huh, Luan has clearly raised her game. I gotta see what I'm up against." [Luan is sleeping, so Luna reaches down and grabs her phone. But she suddenly falls out of her bunk and hits the ground. Fortunately for her, Luan doesn't wake up, and she rolls over, turning away from Luna, who is relieved.] "Phew." [But as she looks at her sister's phone, she notices the recording from before. She plays it, but the volume is so loud that it startles her. She drops Luan's phone and runs up to her bed, and Luan wakes up.]
Luan: [groggily] "Huh? What?" [She looks down and picks up her phone, noticing the recording is playing. She glances up, but Luna quickly pretends to be asleep. As Luan turns the recording off, she gets suspicious.] "Hmmm..."
[The next morning, Luna is playing her guitar in the garage. Luan peeks out from the front of the house.]
Luan: "If she is snooping on my act..." [She reveals a remote control drone with a camera attached to it.] "I have every right to see hers."
[The drone flies to the garage and aims the camera lens into the window. Luna is playing her guitar loudly on two amps with a Fogger 3000. Boris is dancing to her music, flopping along the floor. As Luna strums a tune, she suddenly notices the drone, and now she gets suspicious.]
Luna: "Hmm..."
[She turns on her fog machine, and it fills the garage with purple fog. As Luan is watching Boris dancing, the fog obstructs her view.]
Luan: "Ohh, dang it. I can't see anything through all this fog."
[Later, the two are eating chicken pot pie for lunch with Lucy, Lola, Leni, and Lincoln. Luna and Luan are sitting on opposite sides of the table, glaring at each other.]
Lola: [swallows; knowing there's drama] "Soo, how's your act going, Luan?"
Luan: [swallows; angry] "I don't know, Lola." [stabs her fork into her pie] "Why don't you ask Luna how my act is going?"
[The pie has splattered all over Lincoln's face. The screen pans to Luna, who is pouring ketchup onto hers.]
Luna: [also angry] "What's that supposed to mean?" [She bangs the ketchup on the table, and it squirts ketchup onto Lucy's head.]
Luan: [bangs the table] "Oh, I think you know." [She glares, but the rest of her pie has splattered over Leni and Lola.]
Lincoln: [sighs; to Leni, Lola, and Lucy] "Ponchos out, people." [The four of them duck under the table and come out nervously, dressed in ponchos.]
Luan: "Hey Leni, can you pass the chicken pot spy? Oh, sorry. Pie."
[Leni grabs the pie, but Luna stops her.]
Luna: "Huh, excuse me? I don't like your drone. Oops, I mean, tone."
Lola: [pleased] "I knew there'd be drama!" [grabs a bucket of popcorn] "Good thing I came prepared!" [eats some]
Luan: "Okay, real talk: What the heck happened to us supporting each other? I mean, spying on me? Seriously?"
Luna: [fed up] "Gimme a break, dude. I caught you doin' the same exact thing. Admit it:" [bangs the table] "All you care about is winning!"
Luan: [also fed up; bangs the table] "Like you're any better!"
[As the two of them glare at each other, everyone else is stunned.]
Leni: [confused] "Am I supposed to pass the chicken pot pie or not?" [Lincoln, Lola, and Lucy glance at her in annoyance.]
Luna: [had enough] "You know what, whatever. From now on, it's every sister for herself!" [walks away]
Luan: [also had enough] "Fine! Works for me!" [leaves]
[Later on...]
Luan: "Wow, that was a big lunch!" [She is talking with Mr. Coconuts and three identical Coconuts puppets.]
Mr. Coconuts: "Hope you left room for dessert!"
[He and the other Coconutses grab cream pies and throw them in Luan's face. Luan laughs, but Luna is spying on her from inside the closet. Luna gulps nervously, and cream pies fall as the scene transition.]
[Luna is playing on her guitar, then she leaps to a keyboard and uses her head to play it, then she bangs a gong by jumping against it. The scene transitions to Luan and the four Coconutses, who are eyeing her from the garage door windows.]
Luan: "Whoa!"
[A bunch of musical instruments fall as the scene transition.]
[Luan is bouncing on her pogo-cycle and juggling bowling pins very fast. Mr. Coconuts and the Mustached Coconuts are swinging on trapezes from the ceiling, while the Old Coconuts and the Lady Coconuts are bouncing on smaller pogo-cycles. Luna peers into the room via a periscope.]
Luna: "Whoa!"
[Bowling pins fall as the screen transitions.]
[Boris has Luna tied to a rope, and he pulls her up to the ceiling of the garage. She has a confetti cracker tied to the top of her guitar, and she strums it so hard that it shoots confetti. It lands on the faces of Luan and the Coconutses.]
Luan: [nervously] "Ohhh..."
[Luna is packing Vanzilla up with the stuff for the competition. Luan has the four Coconutses strapped into car seats, but they are flung forward as Luna stuffs something into the back.]
Luan: "Ahh!" [Luna is struggling to fit the fog machine into Vanzilla.] "Hey! Your fog machine just gave my puppets whiplash!"
Luna: "Fine!" [takes it out] "I'll put it in the passenger seat!"
Luan: [gasps] "That's my seat!" [takes out an amp] "Why don't you just take out this amp?" [tosses it away]
Luna: [She gasps and takes out the pogo-cycle.] "Why don't you take out your pogo-cycle?!"
[They glare at each other and growl in anger.]
Boris: [walks over] "And where will Boris sit?"
[Boris is shown strapped to the top of Vanzilla with the amps as Vanzilla is speeding off, with Luna--apparently having already learned how to drive--driving in anger. Inside, she is trying to avoid Luan juggling her bowling pins, and she growls.]
Luna: [tauntingly] "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!"
[Luan is distracted, and the bowling pins hit her on the head.]
Luan: "I can't concentrate when you're doing that!" [grabs her pins]
Luna: [angered] "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!"
[However, Luna isn't watching where she's driving, and Vanzilla hits a speed bump. The two of them gasp as Vanzilla hits the ground so hard that the Coconutses bounce, with the Lady Coconuts' head popping off. It hits the button on the fog machine and turns on, filling Vanzilla with fog. Boris shrieks as Vanzilla begins shaking, and it swerves off the road, discarding several of the sisters' items. They crash offscreen into a bush, and their items are broken. A whoopie cushion lets out a melancholy fart. Boris's head is inside a French horn, so he pulls it off.]
Boris: "Show business is no place for Boris. He tears families apart." [He runs away, crying.]
[Luan pops out of the bush with leaves in her mouth, and the door falls off of Vanzilla to reveal Luna. Both of them are stunned, and Luan spits out the leaves.]
Luna: [steps down; ashamed] "He's right. I can't believe I let things get so heated between us."
Luan: [also ashamed] "No, this is my fault. I was so nervous going up against you because I knew you'd be amazing!"
Luna: "You were nervous? I knew your act was gonna slay, and I didn't wanna embarrass myself out there. It's tough having such a talented sister."
Luan: "Tell me about it."
[They both laugh, and they hug.]
Luna: "I'm so sorry we ever let the competition get between us."
Luan: "From now on, sisterhood comes before anything else, for real this time. Not that it matters." [She picks up her broken pogo-cycle.] "I can't do my act now anyway." [The pedal falls off.]
Luna: [She brings up her broken amp.] "Me neither. My gear's totally busted." [tosses it away] "After all of that, now neither of us has a chance of winning." [She and Luan are disappointed, but suddenly, Luna notices one of her cymbals, as well as the Mustache Coconuts.] "Unless... Quick! Grab everything you can!"
[At the auditorium, the Artist Grant competition is underway.]
Announcer: "Please welcome our next act: Luan and Luna Loud!"
[The sisters peek out from the curtain, and Luna winks at her sister. As Reginald claps, Luan comes to a microphone.]
Luan: "One-two, buckle my shoe!" [A drum and an accordion begin playing, and Mr. Coconuts plays a slide whistle. Luan is shown wearing the instruments as a one-man band, and she is juggling as well.]
Luan:
♫ When my passion for the stage is a little bit outrageous ♫
♫ I gotta keep my sister in mind ♫
[She throws a cream pie at the screen, and it transitions to Luna on her guitar.]
Luna:
♫ Every time I get just a little too ambitious ♫
♫ I gotta keep my sister in mind ♫
[Mr. Coconuts is dressed in rock-and-roll and plays a guitar as well, winking.]
Luna and Luan:
♫ If we can keep our egos in line ♫
♫ I got a feeling that we're gonna be fine ♫
[Reginald begins dancing, and Mr. Coconuts drums.]
Luan:
♫ I say it to my sister ♫
Luna:
♫ Don't say it in a whisper ♫
Luna and Luan:
♫ I gotta keep my sister in mind! ♫
[Confetti drops as the sisters smile in triumph, and Mr. Coconuts hangs from a rope. Confetti drops down to pan out on the audience applauding, and the sisters smile at each other.]
[As a result, Reginald signs the check of five thousand dollars...]
Reginald: "Congratulations, Paraag!" [Paraag is shown to have won the grant instead. Reginald shakes his hand vigorously.] "Now, smile for the camera!"
[The photographer prepares to take his photo, but Paraag suddenly sneezes. His mid-sneeze photo is shown.]
Paraag: [realizes] "Aww! Not again!"
[The scene pans to Luna and Luan.]
Luan: "Oh, good for Paraag! That pumpkin spiced latte really made his act sing!"
Luna: "Yeah!"
Reginald: [approaches them] "Ladies, I want you to know, it was a very close race. The two of you were simply marvelous!" [Luna and Luan smile] "But, how does one compete with the sheer majesty of those balancing coffee cups?" [wipes a tear] "Still, I am eager to see what you two do next!" [He leaves.]
Luna: [She and Luan squeal.] "And we pulled that together at the last minute! Think what we could do with a little more prep!" [They pass by the twins, sitting on the edge of the stairs. Lola is eating popcorn.] "Maybe we really have something here."
Luan: "I bet I could get us a gig at the Burnt Bean!"
Lana: "I'm sorry there isn't anymore drama. Are you bummed they're getting along again?"
Lola: "Nah, I'm happy for 'em." [sniffs] "Besides, I just sniffed that Gramps buttdialed his old flame!" [hands her popcorn to Lana] "This is gonna be juicy!"
[She jumps into her Princess Ride and drives off, and Lana takes a bite of the popcorn, and the episode ends.]
