Excuse me. Pardon me. Award-winning news celebrity coming through. Nice to meet you. I'm…
MGMoon Goats
[surprised] Katherine Mulligan!
Yes, I'm here with my favorite niece, Adeline Mulligan. [turns around, revealing Adeline in a baby harness on her back] And I need to say, your own band is really a toddler sensation. I love to have you perform on my morning show, Kat Chat. Start the other day with a hot, steaming up of Katherine!
LunaA gig? On TV?! For REAL?!
Absolutely. And Katherine Mulligan pays a generous appearance fee. So, what do you say?
Luna
Let me discuss with my associates.
[The Moon Goats huddle up in a circle]
Guys, we could get those thumpin' speakers, like, way faster!
Yeah, and probably still have some money left for that awesome stage package we saw, remember?
[They imagine themselves rocking out with the new speakers and confetti cannons]
[dreamily] Oh, many pretty colors.
Great! Let's say, tomorrow morning. Oh, and one thing, I want you to play a new song. Katherine Mulligan likes her performances the way she likes her breaking news: exclusive! Now, I have to go. My niece has seemingly escaped. [leaves] Adeline Mulligan, do not lick that cake!
New speakers, here we come!
[The Moon Goats sit outside in the front yard as Luna paces around, back and forward; backwards and forth]
Without Lily, we seem to have no songs for tomorrow morning! Our own big TV debut is currently just gonna act like a big bust!
Luna
We need to think about something.
[as Sully gasps] I swear, if this is gas again…
No, no, no, no, no. I just realize Lily's not the only baby in the city.
Luna
[gasps] Yes, yes! All we need to do is snag a tune from another toddler! Sully, you're a total genius!
Told you nothing bad happened… [belches] Okay, some of it was gas.
Why do you folks care to try to deal with Bobby and Sam's annoying habits?
[Lori and Luna laugh, giggle, chuckle, cackle, guffaw, snicker, titter, snort, tee-hee, chortle, and lament]
Bobby doesn't need to have any annoying habits. He's literally perfect.
Luna
Sam, too. Sorry we couldn't help you, sis.
[Lori and Luna return home, both annoyed after their dates with Bobby and Sam, revealing they have annoying habits too]
Did you folks ever notice that Bobby sings everything he does?
Luna
Sam's worse. She can't make up her favorite mind! It took her fifteen minutes to pick a seat on the bus! By the time she sat down, we'd arrived at our favorite stops!
Those start to sound like annoying habits to me. But don't worry. Sixteen 1/2 Magazine didn't let me down tonight. [opens the magazine] Listen: "Your favorite partner is a real work in real progress. If they're going to have annoying habits cuz they want to have annoying habits, it's up to you to get rid of them and make your favorite partner easier."
[Leni and Gavin are having lunch at the Royal Woods Mall food court]
[blushing] I laugh, giggle, chuckle, cackle, guffaw, snicker, titter, snort, tee-hee, chortle, and lament? I didn't do any of that. [laughs, giggles, chuckles, cackles, guffaws, snickers, titters, snorts, tee-hees, chortles, and laments strongly or weakly] Oh, how embarrassing.
Oh, don't feel embarrassed. I'm only trying to point it out so anyone can fix it and be truer.
Thanks, Leni. I appreciate that. I promise I will spa-get better! [laughs at his own joke, then stops before laughing, giggling, chuckling, cackling, guffawing, snickering, tittering, snorting, tee-heeing, chortling, and lamenting] Ah, see?
[Meanwhile, at the Loud House…]
I seem to have no idea how bad we felt. I'm definitely going to work on it... or maybe I'll see a therapist… or shall I just try to journal? [realizes what she's doing; blushes] Oops, I'm doing it again.
Luna
But you caught it. You're already true.
[Meanwhile, at the park…]
[blushing] Wow. Most times, I don't know I'm… ♪ singing! ♪ [catches himself and tries to clear his throat] Singing.
That's why you're very lucky to have me. I can try to point these things out and help make you truer.
Today's just been a fun day!
Yeah, it was a cool idea to do a triple-date.
Wait! Leni, you haven't posted a pic of your lunch yet.
Oh, I'm not doing any of that anymore. Some people think I don't live in the moment enough, even though those people know, I already live in Royal Woods.
Wait, are you mad about what I said?
Why would I be mad? [offering Luna two breadsticks] Here, Luna, I saved you two breadsticks for your drum solo.
Luna
No thanks. Some people think it'd be better if I'd limited my musical solos to Moon Goat shows.
Wait, was that a dig at me?
No. The other dig is telling someone they say "literally" all of the other times. Some people have suggested much to me before.
Oops, I'm sorry. Did I say the other word again? I guess I'm literally getting out of another weird control. Literally, literally, literally, literally…
[The three older Loud sisters start resuming their own annoying habits]
And post, and post, and post!
…literally, literally, literally, literally, literally…
How come it's okay for you gals to point out our annoying habits, but before we try to point out yours, you seem to feel mad?!
Because you only did it to get back at us!
We were really just being helpful, like you were with us.
LLLori, Luna & Leni
Yeah, wright, correct!
You know what? I don't think I wanna grow up this date anymore.
I'm with you folks. Come on. [she, Gavin and Bobby walk away]
No, you folks. Wait. [their favorite partners smile hopefully] Because we are literally leaving first! [she, Leni and Luna try to storm off, angrily]
[After a short pause, Bobby, Gavin and Sam walk away in the opposite direction, grumpily; Later, while riding the Seas of Cheese ride, the three older Loud sisters are angry about their favorite partners]
Boy, they had a lot of nerve!
Luna
They don't really realize how hurt they were being!
[realize to remember something; regretfully] Oh, now that I think about it, if I remember what they said to us was hurt, maybe one of you may remember what we said to them was hurt, too.
O-M-Gosh, you're wright, you're correct! We might never try to point out their annoying habits in the first place if you was born at all! [gasps] Which means Sixteen 1/2 Magazine was... wrong! Ah, I'm gonna enjoy a long moment for now cuz I wanna enjoy a long moment for now.
Luna
You're wright, you're correct, dudes and dudettes. If you care to meet people about someone, you may accept them for who they are. I know! That's the lyrics to many songs!
Apologies, dear friends. I'm afraid my spell work has suffered since my exile aboard that cruise ship.
[lying on a grave; moaning] Sigh… Big sigh…
Worry not, Lucy. We shall get to the Underworld someday.
It's not that. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my tragic arrival on this Earth.
MMorticians
[confused] Huh?
[Boris plays a sad tune, while the other Morticians approach her for comfort]
Oh, why must normie society insist on celebrating life?
I'm afraid my birthdays are even worse than a typical normie celebration. Every year, my family subjects me to the same traditions. [Flashback to one of her birthdays; narrating] They start the day at a frightening pitch.
FLFlashback Louds
[barge into her and Lynn's room with balloons, noisemakers, and confetti after she wakes up] Happy Birthday, Lucy!
[Cut to later of Rita putting the Loud birthday sash on her, which hasn't been washed]
[narrating] Then they force me to wear the traditional Loud birthday sash. I suspect it's never been washed.
FLFlashback Lana
Hey, it's my booger from my 3rd birthday! [eats it, making Lucy gag]
[Cut to the Louds bouncing inside a bouncy house, that's clearly been reused for countless birthdays]
[narrating] Then I'll be subjected to the dreaded bouncy castle, a family birthday staple ever since my dad got it on clearance.
FLFlashback Lynn Sr.
See, Rita? I told you we'd get our money's worth.
[Cut to the Louds singing the birthday song for Lucy at Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet]
[narrating] Then, there's the singing. [shudders] Oh, the singing.
FLFlashback Louds
[singing] ♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪
FLFlashback Lucy
Sigh… finally, the torture ends.
FLFlashback Luna
Now in French, les dudes! [starts singing the birthday song in French with the waiters] ♪ Bon anniversaire à toi, bon anniversaire à toi… ♪
Groan… [back to present; the Morticians gasp in horror] I wish my family would just forget about my birthday.
[overhearing Lincoln, realizing he stole the Mummy's cursed ring and cursed the family] MOM! Lincoln stole a ring from the Mystic Mummy of Mystery and cursed our family!
[The other sisters berate Lincoln for cursing them]
Luna
Oh, come on!
Not to mention the ring is tacky. [lightning strikes close to where she's standing] Sorry, Mr. Mystic Mummy of Mystery, sir!
Folks, I'm sorry. It was a honest mistake. Can't I just put it back?
Unfortunately, no. According to my spell book, once you put the ring on, you activated the curse.
[dismayed] Well, that's just great! I guess we're cursed for life for now! Check that off the old bucket list!
Not necessarily. According to this, there is one way to lift the curse. We'll be able to make an offering to the spirit of the mummy cuz we wanna make an offering to the spirit of the mummy. But we'll gather ingredients for a potion first cuz we want to gather ingredients for a potion first.
I'm sorry. We do not need to have many times for that. We need to get to that barrel race. That mummy is just gonna wait. [tries to head back to Camperzilla, reaches for the door, but lightning strikes, knocking her back on her back] Okay, offering it is.
BBullsworth
And that concludes our own tour. I'm surprised. I expected you to be trouble, but you were all well-behaved. Eh, too bad for me. I didn't get to let the dog out. [snarls at the Louds again in bulldog mode] Alright, please make your way to the White House exit. [leaves]
LLynn
That is one strange little man.
Kids, I'm sorry you didn't get the tour you hoped for, but I'm proud of you for being very good. Now, who wants to hit the hotel pool?
[The siblings follow her, excitedly, except Lynn and the twins, who're feeling guilty for breaking the rules]
LLynn
Wait! We can't leave. There's one little problem. [Flashback to her in the Presidential Bowling Room, she accidentally tosses a bowling ball so hard, it breaks the wooden floor of a bowling lane and gasps in horror]
Actually, two little problems. [Flashback to her in the sundae room, she accidentally breaks off the handle of the ice cream dispenser, causing the ice cream to overflow]
Make that three little problems? [chuckles sheepishly; Flashback to her in the First Ladies' Boutique, she struts all over the floor, then trips, accidentally ripping the dress's bottom half off and gasps in horror]
[shocked and angry at all] Seriously?! I can't believe three of you!
Luna
Uh, make that four. [Flashback to her in the Presidential Music Room, she tries to rock out with a golden guitar and accidentally snaps off one of the strings]
Five. [Flashback to him in the President's office, he spins around in the president's swivel chair, accidentally spinning out of another whole control and hits a bust of Abraham Lincoln, trying to cause it to fall onto the ground and break into pieces, and gulps in horror]
Kids, how could you?! Your own favorite father and I are very disappointed, aren't we, honey?
Uh… [sheepishly chuckles] Well, um… [Flashback to him in the kitchen, humming a tune as he plays with a spatula, then accidentally flings it into the president's birthday cake, which collapses]
You'll just enjoy plenty of times to yell at me later, Rita, before the Bulldog tries to track us down and sends us to the dungeon forever!
He's not gonna do that cuz he doesn't wanna let us sneak back in and fix everything before he notices.
[The Louds drive through a mountain range as they enter the state of Colorado]
[to the viewers while playing video games with Lana] You know, I'm really getting used to life on the whole road. Living with the bare essentials isn't very bad.
[relaxing her favorite body and her on a massage chair; voice vibrating] RV living is literally the life for us. [Camperzilla suddenly comes to a halt; notices] Why're we stopping?
Very exciting news. For my next piece in the travel series, we are going to check out the beauty of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado cuz we want to check out the beauty of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado.
[The Loud siblings look out the window as Lori pulls the blinds and see the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains, all uninterested]
Luna
Sweet.
[pulls the blinds again after Lori shuts them] No, I meant we're going outside for an invigorating 10-mile hike! You folks love it!
[Lana shuts the blinds this time while the siblings are all still uninterested]
Luna
I'm good.
[enters, wearing Lincoln's blue convincing suit, that's too tight for him; strained] Come on, fam.
Hmm… Is that my convincing suit?
I'm so stuffed, I could be a Thanksgiving turkey. [belches so hard, her siblings and parents are grossed out]
Luna
[disgusted] Not cool, Luan!
It wasn't me! It was Mr. Coconuts! [speaks for Mr. Coconuts, not realizing he's not on her hand] You know I can't resist the all-you-can-eat coleslaw bar. [looks at her hand, remembering he's not there and screams in panic, shaking Camperzilla, and freaking out the parents] WHERE'S MR. COCONUTS?! [lifts up the couch in panic to find him]
Luna
All right, chill, dude. Where's the other last, final place you remember having him?
[sets the couch down] At the last, final diner! I ordered a wood-fired pizza, and I'll never forget the other look he gave me here because I never care to forget the other look he gave me here. [enters the driver's den] We neec to turn back!
Oh, jeez, sweetie, that… that diner is 50 miles in the other direction--
Dad, he's a member of the family!
[changes his mind] No Loud left behind!
[The Louds arrive in Great Lakes City as their final destination of their summer road trip so Rita can write her deadline for her column in the Gazette, but doesn't want the family to interact with the Casagrandes]
Okay, kids, listen up. This is the last stop of our summer road trip and we like to enjoy the other day getting packed. [goes over her notepad] Lunch at Goddess Greens, Great Lakes City Tower, and a concert series in the park.
Sweet! When do we need to see the Casagrandes? I can't wait for myself to tell Ronnie Anne about our favorite trips.
[answers her phone as it starts to ring; excitedly] Hey, Boo-Boo Bear! Guess where I am?
[swipes Lori's phone out of her hand] Literally Mount Rushmore! [imitates signal breaking] Losing reception, babe! Call you later!
Um… We do love to visit the Casagrandes. But my last travel piece for the Gazette is due tonight, and we need to hit all of these places. There's just no time to stop by.
Yeah, if we want to get everything on your Mom's list done, they can't remember we're here. We'll just visit them another time, okay, kiddos?
Luna
I guess so. Plus, I don't wanna miss that concert.
And I want a glamor shot from the top of the GLC Tower, looking down at all of the other little people.
[unsure] I don't know, you folks. I feel weird about this.
[The Louds are watching a jazz band finishing their performance at the GLC park]
Luna
[throws up horns to them] You rock! I mean, you jazz. Y-You get what I'm saying!
Well, we did it. We saw everything we needed to see for my article.
Ah, that's a relief. For a second there, I didn't think we'd be able to avoid the Casagrandes.
[sees Hector and Bobby playing their duet on stage; gasps in shock] Is that… Hector and Bobby?!
[whispering] Let's move, people!
[The Louds try to make a run for it, but they see Frida, Rosa, Carlitos, and Carlos having a tamale picnic, and make a U-turn, but also see Carl and CJ playing frisbee]
[Luna is sitting in living room with her hands hidden under the pillows and looking very bummed; Sam, Mazzy, and Sully enter]
Luna
Huh?
[excitedly] The dudes from the Cherry Pit Spit just called! And guess who wanted to headline the festival!
The Moon Goats! Band bleat! [they all bleat like goats together but Luna wasn't into it]
Luna, we didn't get a bleat out of you. What's wrong?
Luna
[hoarsely] Bad news, dudes. My doc put me on shred rest and voice rest after last night's gig. [shows her band mates her bandaged hands, to their horror; Flashback to the Burnt Bean last night; rocking out to applause and shreds so hard while letting out a rock scream, ends up burning her own hands, looks at them and screams in pain as she let goes of her guitar; back to present] Doc said no shredding or rock screams for a month.
[Caring] We can't play the Cherry Pit Spit without you!
Luna
There's no way I'm letting you guys miss this opportunity. Sam, you can take over lead vocals, and I'm sure we can find a temporary musician to replace me. We'll just have to hold auditions ASAP.
