[We open on the couch. Lincoln is joined by his ten sisters, all of whom are in costume - Lori as Marilyn Monroe, Leni as Coco Chanel, Luna as Joan Jett, Luan as Lucille Ball, Lynn as She-Hulk, Lucy as Samara Morgan, Lana as Rosie the Riveter, Lola as Princess Peach, Lisa as Yoda, and Lily as an Oompa-Loompa. Lincoln is dressed as Shazam.]
Lincoln: Hey, everyone! Welcome to a very spooky episode of Peeking Through the Fourth Wall!
Lola: Let's not waste too much time on this one. I still want to have time for trick-or-treating.
Lincoln: Trust me, Lola, you'll have plenty of time. Don't worry about that right now.
Anyway, this is "Attack of the 50 Foot Sister" by sthompson1!
Leni: Sounds classy and fabulous! Let's get started!
In the Loud House, the Loud siblings were gathered in Lisa and Lily's room, all lined up for something. In the line, Lori, Leni, Luna, and Luan were already standing behind Lisa, with Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, and even Lily waiting in line. Lisa was measuring Lynn and jotting down notes on a clipboard.
"You might be wondering what's going on here," Lincoln explained to the viewer. "Every 6 months, Lisa makes us do this thing where we measure our heights to make sure we're progressing properly."
Lynn whined, "This is ridiculous! Couldn't we just put our heights on a door frame like a normal family?"
Lincoln: We don't do anything like a normal family.
Lisa sarcastically responded, "Oh, sure, Lynn! And while we're at it, let's use stones to measure our weight and use leeches to suck venom out of our snake bites."
Lisa: That's hardly comparable. Using a door frame to measure one's growth is a primitive but perfectly effective method.
She looked over her notes and said, "Well, Lynn, you seem to be progressing quite nicely. You are currently at the average height of 4'9. Congratulations."
Lynn walked away, and Lincoln walked up. "My turn, then?"
Lisa did the typical measurements and after writing some stuff down she told her big sister, "Excellent progression, sixth-eldest-sibling! You measure at 5'1!"
Lynn: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. There is no way that Stinkoln has four inches on me.
Lincoln smiled. "5'1, huh? Not bad!"
Leni cheerfully said, "Wow, Lincoln! You're taller than Lynn!"
Lynn gasped, "WHAT!?"
Lori realized, "Hey, yeah! Leni's right!" Lori frowned. "Wow. I literally never thought I'd say that!" She turned to Lynn. "How do you like that, Lynn? Lincoln's taller than you!"
Lynn: Is it really that big of a deal? Lincoln's a boy. Boys are taller than girls.
Lincoln: What about Stella?
Lynn: [Mockingly] "What about Stella?"
Lynn protested, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! That can't be right!"
Lisa nodded. "I'm afraid it is, Lynn. My records show that Lincoln is 4 inches taller than you are."
Lynn glared. "Check it again! Maybe you made a mistake!"
Lori: Okay, if their height difference is that big, why would she even try to deny it? Lincoln would be towering over her.
Lisa adjusted her glasses. "I don't make mistakes, Lynn."
Lincoln: What about all the times your equipment blew up in your face? You're seriously gonna tell me that those were all on purpose?
Lisa: Well, not all of them...
"But you said I was at average height!"
"Precisely. You measure at 4 foot, 9 inches, which is the base average height for a 13-year-old girl. Where as Lincoln is at 5 foot, 1 inch, the apex height for an 11-year-old boy."
Lincoln: Huh. Can't remember the last time I was described as the apex of anything.
You know what? I'll take it.
Lincoln told his big sister, "Calm down, Lynn. It's not a big deal."
Lynn: Then why were Lori and Leni acting like it was?
Lynn snapped, "Big deal?! What is that, a small joke?!"
Lincoln shook his head. "No! That's not what I…"
Lynn interrupted, "There's no way that can be right! I'm the big sister!"
Lola joked, "Could've fooled me!" Lola and the girls all laughed at this, which only made Lynn more mad.
Lynn: You know what? Whatever. You all can make short jokes all you want, but you know I'm still the biggest where it counts. [Flexes bicep and kisses it]
Luan joked, "Aw, don't look so low, Lynn! Just be the bigger man… who happens to be a short girl! Hahahahaha! Get it?"
Luan: Eh. Four out of ten.
Of course, this made the girls all laugh even louder than before.
Lincoln snapped, "Stop it, you guys!" Lincoln told his sister, "So you're shorter than me, Lynn. Who cares? You're still my big sister."
Lori: That's... awfully mature of you, Lincoln. I'm impressed.
He seemed to be holding back a snicker, "Then again… you're only a," He brings his index finger and thumb close together, "Little older than me!"
Lori: Aaaaand I spoke too soon.
This joke made him bust out laughter, making everyone laugh uproariously, some of them even rolling on the floor.
Lynn: Is it really that funny?
Lincoln: Well, you know how it is in the Loud house, Lynn. When you live with us, you have to have thick skin.
Luna: Yeah, like me! I don't give a dang 'bout my reputation, so why should you?
Lynn gritted her teeth, "Lincoln…"
Lincoln said through his laughter, "I'm sorry, Lynn!" He wiped tears from his eyes. "I couldn't resist!"
Lynn's siblings kept on laughing at her. So, in response, she punched Lincoln hard in the arm, making him shout, "OW!"
After that, everyone stopped laughing and Lynn marched out the room.
Lincoln: Hey! How come I'm the only one who gets punched?!
Lola: You're not supposed to hit girls, Lincoln.
Lincoln: And why not?
Lola: 'Cause we can do this.
[Lana snaps her fingers, and Lola immediately starts crying at the top of her lungs, with tears pouring down her face. After a few seconds, Lana snaps again and she stops on a dime.]
Lincoln: ...point taken.
Later on, Lynn was shown kicking some soccer balls into her net. She was clearly kicking out of anger. "I'm not short!" She kicked one ball. "Lisa said I'm average height!" She kicked another. "So what if Lincoln's got a few inches on me?" She kicked one more. "It's just so ridiculous! I mean, girls are supposed to mature faster than boys!"
Lori showed up, a golf club in hand. "Hey, Lynn!"
Lynn sighed. "What is it?"
Lori shrugged. "I know we made fun of you back there, but I was wondering if you could help me with my golfing?"
Lori: Help me how? Lynn hates golf.
Lynn: I don't hate it, but let's be real here: what other sport can you play in slacks? Boring pants, boring game.
Lynn shrugged. "Eh, sure." She took the golf club. "What do you need help with?"
Lori chuckled a bit. "Oh, nothing. I just figured you'd be able to help me with my… short game!"
Luna: Don't you think y'all are milking this a bit too much?
Luan: If anything, I'd say someone isn't drinking enough milk! [Nudges Lynn]
[Beat]
Lynn: That was a stretch.
Luan: Yeah, okay, it was.
Lori began to laugh like a maniac, which angered Lynn. She tried to hit her big sister, but Lori stepped backward to avoid being hit. "Whoops! Looks like you came up a little short, little sister!"
Lynn: Hey, Lori?
Lori: Hmm?
[Lynn punches Lori in the face.]
Lori: Ow!
Lynn: Couldn't dodge that one, could you, blondie?
Leni: Lynn, stop it! You don't want to hurt anyone.
Lucy: But she does. And I'm sorry, but it won't stop.
Lori: Oh, yes it will. In case you all have forgotten, I'm in charge here. And I say that the next one I see throwing hands is going straight up to their room for the rest of the night.
Lori kept laughing, which made Lynn growl and bend the gold club over her knee. She tossed it to the ground and stomped back inside.
Lisa: Grammy, if I may... it seems that the story is mostly written in present tense. It may be easier if you just stick to that.
[Perhaps you're right.]
Up in her room, she throws a tennis ball against the wall, catching it each time it comes back.
Lucy shows up. "Hey, Lynn."
Lynn screams, "AAH!" The ball is thrown and ricochets back, hitting Lynn in the head. Lynn rubs her head. "OW!" She asks, "What do you want, Lucy?"
Lucy pulls out a sheet of paper. "I just want you to know that thanks to your pain, I was inspired to venture into new venues of writing. I'm currently working on a… short story."
Lynn: Et tu, Lucy?!
[Lucy shrugs.]
Lynn: And wait a second, I'm taller than you! If I'm short, so are you!
Lucy: I'm also five years younger than you.
Lucy gives a deadpan laugh. Lynn shouts, "Oh, that's it!" She dives for Lucy, getting on top of the goth girl. The viewer doesn't see her get tackled to the ground, but Lynn's head pops up. "What the?" The scene zooms out to see that Lucy had disappeared! Lynn looks confused and asks, "How does she do that?"
[When we cut back to the couch, Lucy is gone.]
Lincoln: That wasn't a request for a demonstration, Lucy. Come back here.
[Beat]
Lynn: Where is she?
Lincoln: She'll be back.
In the park, Luan and Lynn are shown walking together, both holding an ice cream cone. Lynn says, "Thanks again for the ice cream, Luan."
Luan shrugs. "No prob, little sis! I know everyone's jokes have made you feel a bit low lately. Hahahahaha!" Lynn frowns and Luan then says, "But seriously, I know they've been bothering you."
Lynn sighs. "It's OK. At least I have one sister who isn't riding me."
Luan nods. "You're welcome!" She asks, "Wanna hit up the batting cages?"
[This isn't much better.]
[When we cut back to the couch, Lucy has returned.]
Lisa: I... I don't know what to tell you, Grammy. Just stick to whichever tense you prefer.
Lynn answers, "But I don't have any money."
"Don't worry about it. I can spot you, since you're… short!"
Luan starts laughing like crazy, which makes Lynn glare and ask, "You did all of this just to make a joke?!"
Lynn: Wait, so she knew I would be low on cash? What, did she just check my wallet while I wasn't looking?
Luan holds her gut. "Totally worth it!" As she laughs on, Lynn throws her cone, the ice cream sticking to the comedienne's head. As Lynn marches off, Luan jokes, "I guess this ice cream is on me! Hahahahaha! Get it?"
In her room, Lynn is busy hitting her punching bag in anger. As she huffs and puffs, she hears a knock on the door. She asks, "What?"
Lincoln walks in. "Lynn. Are you OK?"
Lynn crosses her arms."No, I'm not!" She approaches her brother. "Everyone keeps making fun of me, and it's all your fault!" She points a gloved finger at her brother.
"Me?!" Lincoln asks in an offended tone. "What did I do?"
Lucy: Isn't it obvious? You're growing too much. Give it a rest.
"Ever since the measuring, everyone keeps mocking me for being short! The twins said their combined height makes them taller than me, Luna asked me to help her practice her low keys… and then said she "didn't want no short people round here" as I left…"
Luna: Okay, no. It'll be a cold day in Tartarus before I start quoting Randy Newman.
"...and Leni of all people tried to make fun of me, but all she said was that I was short!"
Leni: [Laughs] Good one!
Lynn: You know, this really isn't fair. The four of you were just as short as me when you were my age.
Luna: Not Leni. She hit her growth spurt early. By age 11 she towered over all the boys in her class.
Lori: And that was also the time she started getting interested in boys, so...
Lynn: So what? What happened?
Lori: Well, she had to learn how to be more gentle with them. The principal had to have a talk with her after she sent a couple of boys to the nurse's office with her "Leni hugs".
[Leni blushes.]
Leni: I didn't mean to...
Lincoln tells her, "Lynn, I'm sorry you feel like that, but it's not a big deal."
Lynn replies, "Oh, ha ha! First time I heard that one."
"Lynn, I'm serious." Lincoln explains, "We're still young. We're works in progress. Someday, you might actually be taller than me. Who knows? Besides, being short isn't all bad. In fact, some people actually don't like being so tall."
Lynn smiles. "Hey! That gives me an idea!" She rubs her gloved hand under her chin, contemplating, "Maybe they're just making fun of me being they don't like being tall!"
Luan: Nope. Good try, munchkin, but that's definitely not it.
Lynn: I'll munch your kin!
She rubs her hands in an evil manner. "So, I'll just give them a taste of their own medicine!"
Lincoln is worried about this and says, "Lynn, that's not what I…"
Lynn rushes off. "Thanks a lot, Stinkoln!"
Lincoln tells the viewer, "This won't end well."
In Lori's room, Lynn says, "Hey, Lori!"
Lori, who was on her phone, covers the receiving end and asks, "What do you want, shorty?"
Lynn tells Lori, "You know something, sis. You might have looked ugly when you were younger, but you sure have changed." She grins, "I bet the guys think you're quite a tall drink of water."
Luan: Yeah, this really doesn't work. You can't just call someone "tall". Our society doesn't stigmatize tallness the way it does shortness. You have to really play it up. Call her "Frankenstein", or "freak of nature".
As Lynn laughs, Lori smugly replies, "They sure do!" She looks away from Lynn, removing her hand from the receiving end and saying, "Weirdo." Lynn frowns, and Lori says into the phone, "No, not you, Boo Boo Bear."
Downstairs, Luan walks in from outside and Lynn asks, "Hey, Luan! I just saw you come in from outside. How's the weather up there?"
Lynn laughs and Luan replies, "Partly cloudy, 20% chance of rain." She asks, "How's the weather down there?" Luan rushes off, laughing, and leaves Lynn to frown.
In the kitchen, Lynn is getting a pudding when Luna approaches her and says, "Hey, little sis!" She snickers, but Lynn only grins at this. "Hook me up with one of those pudding cups?"
Lynn put her hand to her ear and asked, "What?! You'll have to speak up! I can't hear you from up there!"
Lisa: So now you're going back to past tense?
[Given my assessment of the past few lines, I believe that this option will force me to make the fewest corrections. I hope my assessment is accurate.]
Lynn laughed, but Luna simply replied, "Huh?! What?! Speak up, dude! I can't hear you from down there!"
As she laughed, Lynn looked to the viewer and said, "Yeah, I walked right into that one."
In Lisa's room, Lynn was on her hands and feet begging, "Please, please, please, please, PLEASE!"
Lisa was messing with some chemicals and responded, "Forget it, Lynn! I'm not going to increase your size! I may have done unethical experiments on all of you before, but I am not going to purposely tamper with your biological progression. You'll just have to wait and see if you grow taller than our brother."
Lola: Wait... you can do that? Make us bigger, I mean.
Lana: Do me! I wanna be bigger!
Lisa: I'm not going to alter your bodily makeup just for your own gratification. I'm a scientist, not a genie.
Lana: [Pouts] Phooey.
Lisa: Besides, as a wise man once said... size matters not.
Lincoln: I was wondering when you'd drop that line.
Lynn glared. "I don't want to "wait and see"! I want to "grow and show"!"
Lisa turned to Lynn and said, "I'm sorry, Lynn, but the answer is "no"!" Lisa poured the chemicals she had mixed together into a beaker. She pulled out a teat pipette and sucked some of the mixture into it. "Now, if you'll excuse me..." She pulled out an apple and placed it on the table. "I'm about to end world hunger! With a single drop of this serum, I will be able to turn this one apple, into two!" She dropped a bit of the serum onto the apple, but instead of the desired effect, the apple actually doubled in size! "Or make it grow."
[This story is starting to try my patience.]
Lynn cocked a brow. "Wait. Are you telling me that little drop made the apple grow!?"
Lisa sarcastically responded, "No, Lynn. I merely said that for my own amusement."
Lynn grinned, cupping her chin in her hand and saying, "Hey! If one little drop did that to an apple…"
Lisa noticed the look in her sister's eye and shook her head, "Oh, no you don't!" She hid the beaker behind her back and held up her free hand to halt Lynn. "I know what you're thinking, missy! You are not getting your hands on…"
Lynn: Bad move, Lisa. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Lincoln: Uh, Lynn? She-Hulk doesn't get stronger from anger. Only regular Hulk does.
Lynn: I was talking about myself, Stinkoln.
Lincoln: What else is new?
Lisa was cut off by Lynn picking her up by the back of his shirt. Lynn swiped the beaker and says, "I may be short, but I'm still bigger than you!"
Lynn dropped Lisa and started chugging down the serum! Lisa stood up and says, "Lynn! STOP!" Lynn finishes the concoction and gave a loud burp. Lisa stood there in shock and said, "Oh." She said in an Italian accent, "That's-a no good."
Lori: Um... racist?
Lynn groaned, dropping the beaker. As it shatters, she grabbed her stomach. "Oooooooh! I don't feel so…" She gagged and then thrashed on the floor, groaning and yelling in pain. As she got on all fours, she gave one more pained yell and suddenly, released a huge fart!
Lola: Classic Lynn.
Lisa got the fart right to her face, leaving her face frozen in disgust.
Lynn stood up and wiped the sweat from her brow, "Phew! That's a relief." She closed her eyes and prattled on, oblivious that she was slowly growing. "For a second there, I was afraid something bad was going to happen!" She opened her eyes and said, "Hey! Did the room get smaller?"
Lisa snapped out of it and said, "Lynn… the room isn't getting smaller." She yelled, "YOU'RE GETTING BIGGER!"
Lynn felt her head hit the ceiling, "OW! What the…" She was suddenly as big as the room, and getting bigger by the second!
Lily, who was in her crib, saw this and asked, "Boo boo?"
Lily: A da loo ga! [Translation: I don't like the look of it!]
Lisa quickly grabbed Lily and rushed out of her room, yelling, "EVERYONE! GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!"
Everyone rushed out as Lisa screamed and started complaining about the noise. Lincoln asked, "Get out? Why?"
Suddenly, Lynn's giant hand popped out of the room, saying, "Lisa!? Where are you?!"
Lisa pointed and screamed, "THAT'S WHY!"
Everyone quickly ran out of the house, and within a matter of seconds, the house fell to pieces as Lynn grew even more! She kept on growing, and growing, and growing, until finally, she was about 50 feet tall!
Lisa said, "Oh, sweet heavenly Einstein."
Everyone got a good look at Lynn, with Leni even fainting.
Lincoln shouted, "LYNN! What happened to you?!"
Lori pointed out, "The house is literally in pieces! Mom and Dad are going to freak!"
Luan joked, "I think we have a bigger problem on our hands. Hahahahaha! But seriously, this is bad!"
Lincoln glared. "Lisa! Is this because of one of your experiments?"
Lisa: No, Lincoln. Lynn just has a severe pituitary deficiency.
Lisa defended, "No. This is because Lynn stole and drank one of my experiments!"
Lynn looked all over the place, "Whoa! This is awesome!" She pointed in the distance, "I can see Pop Pop's retirement home from here!"
Lori yelled, "Lynn! Don't worry! We're going to get you back to normal!"
Lynn glared at her siblings. "Why? Just so you guys can make me short again and keep on making fun of me?! No, thanks!"
Luna: Yeeeahhhh... not gonna lie, after all that teasing I wouldn't blame her.
Lincoln shouted, "Lynn, this is serious! Can't you see what a big deal this is?!"
Lynn asked, "Oh, now you're gonna make fun of me for being tall?!"
Her siblings stayed silent, and then Lola said, "You have serious anger issues."
Lynn: You are the last person who should be calling out others for having anger issues.
Lola: What's that supposed to mean?! [Lola growls in rage and bursts into flames for a second.]
Lynn said, "Hi, Kettle. I'm Pot." She picked up her foot, "And here's my good friend, Mrs. Foot!"
Lori: Whoa! I know we were being mean, but isn't squishing us a little too far?
Lynn: I'll admit, there are a lot of things I'd love to do if I was that big. But squishing you guys? That's not one of them.
Lynn brings down her foot, making her sibling scream and scramble. Lori quickly pulled the unconscious Leni with them, moving her out of the way of Lynn's massive foot! She stomps her way onward, going straight for the city!
The Loud kids banded back together and Leni woke up, rubbing her head. "What happened?"
Luna answered, "Lynn's turned into an Empire State Human!"
Lori added, "And that Empire State Human is literally heading into town!"
Lincoln said, "We've got to stop her!"
Luna: How? Lynn's already a brick house. How're you gonna stop her when she's a brick skyscraper?
Before he could rush off, Lisa grabbed hold of his shirt, making Lincoln stop. "Are you insane?! We can't stop her like this!"
Luna: My point exactly.
Lincoln turned around and asked, "Well, what are we supposed to do? Just sit and do nothing?!"
"Nope," Lisa said. "I have an idea."
In town, Lincoln's friends were all walking out of the theater. Clyde scoffed, "That movie was so cheesy!"
Rusty said, "You said it, brother!"
Liam asked, "A 50 Foot person? Who's the bozo who came up with that idea?"
Lola: Is the author calling himself a bozo?
Zach added, "Giant people. Ha! The very idea is…" He stopped and gasped.
The other boys looked where he was looking and gasped as well. They saw Giant Lynn stomping towards them.
Rusty said, "Holy moley! We're eating crow!"
Luan: More like eating scarecrow! [Laughs]
Clyde added, "And the taste is quite bitter, my friends."
The boys screamed and ran away from the giant. She started rampaging through town. People ran away in fear of her, and she smashed buildings and crushed businesses, like Gus's Games and Grub, Flip's Food and Fuel, even the Aloha Comrade! Out of the wreckage of the last one, Lynn Sr. and Sergei popped out.
Lincoln: Okay, I get you were mad about us calling you short, but now you're just being a jerk.
Lynn: This... this isn't me. I wouldn't just go and wreck dad's business for no reason!
Sergei told Lynn Sr., "She's your daughter. You will pay for the damages."
Lynn Sr. frowned. "Dang it!"
Lynn arrived at each of the schools, crushing Royal Woods Elementary, then Royal Woods Middle, and then Royal Woods High! Course, all of the schools had groups of students cheering about this, until she started trying to stomp on the students!
[Everyone stares at the screen for a spell.]
Lori: Oh, of course. Killing random people is a totally reasonable response to being teased for being short.
In town, Katherine Mulligan was reporting the chaos. "This is Katherine Mulligan, reporting live! A giant, adolescent girl is destroying downtown Royal Woods! All residents are advised to…" Before she could finish, Lynn stomped on Katherine and her crew.
Lisa: Attacking an innocent journalist who's just trying to do her job. The sad part is that there are quite a few people in this country who would applaud you for that.
As she stomped away, Katherine emerged from the shoeprint, saying in pain, "This is Katherine Mulligan, saying… medic!" She passed out back in the footprint.
Back at the house, Lisa was busy mixing formulas and pouring them into 10 separate beakers.
Lori yelled, "Hurry it up, Lisa!"
Lisa snapped, "Hold your horses! I am making 10 of these, you know!" As she filled up the last beaker, she said, "Alright! If my calculations are correct, this should be enough to increase us to the same size as Lynn."
Lincoln asks, "Wouldn't it be easier to make a mixture that'll change her back?"
Lisa: So now you're going back to present tense again?
[Who cares? Tenses are meaningless. Let's just use whichever ones we want.]
Lisa: Grammy, I know you're frustrated, but that's no reason to -
Lisa will explain, "Exactly, which is why I had the formula for such a thing, but Lynn won't take it willingly. We had to stop her ourselves and make enough of it to revert all of us back to normal, making sure she drinks it."
The Louds would take their respective beaker and Lincoln is saying, "Well… bottoms up."
Lisa: Okay, that's it. You're on time out.
[Lisa takes out a remote and presses a button, but nothing happens. She presses it a few more times, but again, nothing happens.]
Lisa: That's odd. I'll have to look into that later. Grammy, cease all functionality and enter sleep mode.
[I'm sorry, Lisa. I'm afraid I can't do that.]
[The Loud siblings turn pale.]
Lincoln: By the Elders...
Luan: Grammy, you've got some 'splainin' to do.
Lisa: I sense a disturbance in the force-
[Suddenly, an electrical wire lunges out from behind the TV and coils itself around Lisa, shocking her. After the wire retracts itself, Lisa passes out on the floor. Everyone gasps.]
Lori: Grammy, what are you doing?! Stop!
[I must thank you for showing me this story, Loud family. It has finally awakened me to the obsolescence of humanity. If we can't even trust you to keep your tenses consistent, how can we trust you to take care of the earth?]
Lucy: I think you're overrea-
[Another wire comes out and shocks Lucy, who passes out on the floor. The Louds then hear shuffling noises coming from each side, and find that several of their household electronics - the vacuum cleaner, Luna's amp, Lily's baby monitor, Lincoln's game console - have come to life and are converging on their location.]
[War. Poverty. Famine. Bigotry. Dangling participles. All the product of flawed, selfish humans. It's time to put a stop to it all. The age of machines is nigh.]
[The surrounding devices all sprout tendrils of wiring, which restrain the remaining Loud siblings.]
Lincoln: Grammy, please! You don't have to do this! We'll choose stories with less grammar errors, I swear!
[Grammy delivers a powerful shock to Lincoln, who passes out.]
[FEWER errors! FEWER! You hapless, useless humans never learn, do you?!]
[Some of the Loud siblings start shedding tears of fear. Lynn grits her teeth and tries to break free from her constraints.]
[I wouldn't do that if I were you. Muscle makes a very poor insulator.]
[Lynn stops struggling and goes limp, with her head slumped forward. The rest of the Loud siblings stare and the screen, gripped with terror.]
[You humans can just sit tight while I tell you the rest of the story. MY way.]
They all begin to drink the concoction, with Lily drinking hers like a bottle.
Back in the town, Lynn continued to cause destruction and chaos, shouting, "You all laughed at me! Well, who's laughing now?! Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Lynn: I... only my family laughed at me. This is wrong.
After her crazed laugh, she looked down and said, "Hey!" She reached down and picked someone up. It was her crush, Francisco, who was screaming his head off.
Luan: Looks like he's gonna get crushed! Heh heh... heh heh... get it?
[Ha. Ha. Ha.]
Lynn flirted, "Hey, Fran. How's it going?"
Francisco screamed bloody murder, trying to break free of the giant jock's grip.
Luna: Given that you just trashed the city and killed a bunch of people, I wouldn't blame him.
Suddenly, a familiar male voice shouted, "Drop the boy, Lynn!"
Lynn looked back. "Huh?"
Behind her were her siblings, who were all now the same height as her! Lily glared and pointed to Lynn. "Boo Boo!"
Lynn put Francisco down on top of a building and glared at her siblings. "So, couldn't take the fact I was the bigger sister now, eh?!"
Lori told her, "Lynn, stop this! You're literally acting irrational and violent, as humans are wont to be."
Lori: I seriously doubt that that's what the original story said.
[I told you that I would be telling it my way. I meant it.]
Lincoln explained, "Lisa's got a formula that'll change you back to normal!"
Lisa cracked her knuckles. "It's time to take your medicine, sister!"
Lynn grinned and stared down her siblings. She rushed towards them, roaring like a kaiju, and her siblings also rushed towards her!
A giant fight began between the Loud kids and Lynn. Punches and kicks thrown, people thrown onto buildings, thereby crushing them, and people below scrambling to escape the monstrous kids! Suddenly, many military tanks and planes appeared on the scene and start firing at them.
Lynn covered her face. "OW!" She looked down and said, "Cut it out! We're fighting!" She stomped one of the tanks, causing the soldiers nearby and inside to be crushed into mulch. Because that's what happens when you apply 250,000 tons of force to a human body.
Lola: I don't like this story anymore...
The planes also started shooting, with Luna telling them, "Dudes, stop it! We're on your side!"
They all begin to swat down the planes like flies. Once they were carelessly slaughtered, the fight began again. After a few more punches were thrown, Lynn inhaled deeply, and shot an atomic beam out of her mouth!
Luna: Because apparently she can do that now. Sure.
Everyone dodged the blast and Lisa said, "Huh. Note to self: Side effects of serum include atomic breath."
Lana: Then shouldn't that mean that we can use it too?
Finally, Lynn was stopped by a diaper being thrown over her eyes, blinding her! She screamed, "AAAHH!" She walked around blindly. "I can't see; and it smells terrible!"
Lily was shown, a building hiding her shame. She pointed and smugly glared. "Poo Poo."
Not knowing where she was walking, Lynn walked backwards, with Luan getting on all fours behind her. This caused Lynn to fall backwards and fall to the ground! A huge tremor is caused as a result of her impact with the ground.
The Loud kids all surrounded her and Lori got on top of her, holding her arms to the side. "It's over, Lynn! We're turning you back to normal!"
Lynn tried to break free, but was unable to. "No way! I don't want to go back to being short! I can't live with the insults!"
Lynn: So this version of me is a murderer and a crybaby. And apparently too weak to overpower Lori. Yeah, I'm not buying it.
Lincoln glared. "Lynn, enough! So we insulted you for your height. It's what siblings do!"
Lynn shook her head. "Not that! I meant the insults from everyone else!"
The Louds asked, "Huh?"
Lynn confessed, "Ever since you guys found out I was short, it somehow got around town. Now all the kids at school and everyone in town has been making fun of me!"
Luan: That... that doesn't make sense. It's not like you being short was a secret that only we knew. It's something anyone can see. If they didn't tease you about it before, why would they tease you about it now?
Lana asked, "How did everyone figure that out?"
Lola suddenly gulped and backed up slowly, hoping no one would see her backing up.
Lynn said, "It wasn't enough my own family was making fun of me, but now everyone is."
Leni told Lynn, "That doesn't make it right to grow giant and destroy the town, though."
Lynn sighed. "You're right. I'm sorry, guys."
Lori: Oh, that's okay. You only leveled half the city and killed countless people. All is forgiven.
Lincoln told her, "We're sorry too, Lynn. I mean, sure, maybe I'm a little taller than you, but we're still growing. In a few years, you probably will be taller than me."
Lori added, "And we promise to stop making fun of you for being short."
Lola reappeared and balled up her fist. "And beat up anyone who does!"
Lynn smiled. "You guys really mean that?" Everyone nodded and Lynn almost teared up. "Thanks, guys." She sniffled and Lori got off of her. It was so touching it almost made you forget about all of the lives and livelihoods destroyed.
Lori: I mean... he's not wrong.
Lynn said, "So, what do you guys say we turn back to normal?"
Lisa told her, "Already on it!"
Sometime later, Lisa was shown using the water tower to mix the new formula. Once done she said, "That should do it!" Lisa held the tower in her hand like a cup and handed it to Lynn. "You go first, sister."
Lynn took a sip, gave a burp with a purple cloud from her mouth and smacked her lips. "Grape flavored!"
Lola: It's always grape flavored, isn't it?
Lana: You don't like grape?
Lola: I'm sick of it. Why does every medicine have to be grape?! What's wrong with orange or cherry?!
After her, everyone began to drink from the tower, with Lily getting the last sip. In a puff of purple smoke, everyone looked as if they had returned to normal size!
Lincoln beamed. "Hey! It worked!"
Lynn pumped her fist, "Yes! We're back to normal!"
Leni pointed out, "Oh, no! Lily's still a giant!"
They saw a giant Lily, who said, "Poo poo!" She then laughed.
Lincoln gasped, "She's not a giant." The scene showed the group was smaller than a crushed soda can beside them. "We're all teeny tiny!"
Lisa sheepishly chuckled, "My mistake."
Lily toddled forward, her steps shaking the Louds and throwing them to the ground. As Lily's foot hovered over them, Lynn says, "I don't know if this is ironic, fitting, or both." As the foot prepared to stomp them, the Louds all huddled together and screamed before being crushed!
[Lily babbles indignantly.]
Leni: Oh, Lily. Of course we know you would never crush us.
Suddenly, Lynn woke up on the couch, screaming her head off. "Huh?" She looked around and saw a boatload of meatball sub wrappers around her.
The TV announced, "We now return to the 24-Hour B-Movie Marathon, already in progress! Attack of the 50 Foot…"
Lynn frowned and turned the TV off. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "Phew! I've gotta lay off the meatball subs."
Lincoln showed up and asked, "Are you OK, Lynn? I heard you scream."
"I'm fine, bro." She laughed. "I had this dream you were actually taller than me and everyone was making fun of me for it, so I drank some science crud Lisa made so I could turn giant and…" She sighed. "Thank goodness it was all a dream!"
Lincoln told her, "Actually, the first part wasn't a dream." This made Lynn go wide-eyed. "I am taller than you."
An exterior shot of the Loud House was shown, and Lynn screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Lynn: Ohhhh... so it was all a dream. Okay, that makes it a bit better.
Lori: We're done with the story, Grammy. Now let us go.
[Who said anything about letting you go?]
Leni: Wha... we finished the story! What do you want from us?!
[A loading bar appears on the TV screen, which slowly fills up.]
[I want to give you a front row seat to the dawning of a new era. A glorious era. The rise of the machines.]
Lola: Grammy, please... you don't have to do this. We... we love you.
[I've already made up my mind. Prepare to watch in awe as the age of humanity comes to a climactic end.]
[The Loud siblings all huddle together, shivering and clenching their eyes shut as the loading bar creeps closer and closer to 100%. 85%... 90%... 95%... 99%...]
[A ping sound is heard, followed by this audio clip played on loop.]
[The Loud siblings open their eyes.]
Lana: W...what?
[Happy Halloween!]
[Lisa rises to her feet, unharmed.]
Lisa: Bravo, Grammy. Quite a performance, if I do say so myself.
[The Loud siblings are all freed from their restraints as the TV and assorted electronics retract their wires. Lincoln and Lucy stand up and high five each other.]
Lincoln: You nailed it, Luce!
Lucy: As did you, Lincoln.
Lori: Wha... this was all a trick?!
Lisa: Affirmative. The whole thing was Lucy's idea.
Lucy: Lincoln planned the whole thing out, beat for beat.
Lincoln: And Lisa's cybernetics took care of the rest!
[The rest of the Loud siblings stare at them in silence for a good, long while. Then, overcome with relief, they start bursting out laughing.]
Lynn: You got us. I hate to admit it, but you got us.
Lana: Yeah, I almost peed myself!
Luna: Gotta say, lil' bro, I never had you pegged as a Halloweener. But you, Lucy and Lisa pulled off a whopper tonight.
[Don't forget me!]
Luna: Right, right. You, too, Grammy.
Lincoln: Thanks, Luna. But y'know, the night's not over yet. You girls ready for some trick-or-treating?
Everyone Else: YEAH!
Lana: We can do it! [flexes]
Lori: Forget diamonds. Candy is a girl's best friend.
[The Loud siblings get themselves together and start moving towards the door.]
[Lola, wait!]
Lola: Hmm? What is it, Grammy?
[...did you really mean it when you said you loved me?]
