[The Action News Team enters the comic book store and begin setting up equipment to interview Kara]
LLiam
Now, let's get you gussied up for the camera. [brushes her hair and finds a scar on the back of her neck] Whoa, cool scar!
Oh, thanks. Hockey puck. I was five, I think.
[amazed] Whoa! You play hockey?!
[Just then, Kara's brother, Josh, exits a back room door and sees what's going on]
JJosh
[snort-laughs] Whoa, you have friends?
[aggravated] Oh, get lost, Josh! [Josh then steals her strawberry gummies and runs off, laughing and blowing raspberries at her; angrily shaking her fist at him] AND STOP TAKING MY SNACKS!
Younger sibling? Yeah, I have plenty of those myself.
[Super-hot day at the Loud House… Clyde, Liam, Rusty, Zach, Stella and Kara are all in the backyard of the Loud House, wearing their swim suits and sharing a pool while using fans to cool themselves from the heat]
LLiam
Ooh-wee. It is hotter than a pig in a pepper patch.
[coming out the back door, carrying a bucket of ice] Okay, I got the ice! Get ready to chill. [accidentally trips on the fan's plug and falls on the ground, dropping the ice bucket on him as it melts]
There's got to be a better way to stay cool.
[smiles] Actually… [realizes] Oh, no. Never mind.
[giving in] Okay, fine. Know how I'm neighbors with Principal Ramirez? [her friends all nod yes] Well, I'm housesitting for her this weekend while she's at some teacher's conference, and… she has a pool! [her friends all talk at once with excitement] Technically, she never said I could use it. I'm just supposed to water the plants and feed her birds and stuff… [shrugs] But I guess I could ask. [takes out her phone]
I don't see why she wouldn't let us.
Please, Stella, I feel like I'm melting! [groans while sinking slowly into the pool]
[types a text and sends it] There. Text sent. Now we wait.
Uh, guys? Can we wait at her house? I think Lily wants her pool back.
[Lily is revealed to be in a bucket of water and scowls angrily at them for using her kiddie pool; Later… the gang arrives at Principal Ramirez's house where her three parrots are sitting on a perch in the backyard until Stella appears with a box of bird food]
Hey, guys! Here you go. [pours the food into their bowl]
[Her friends dash over and gasp in amazement at the pool as it glimmers in the beautiful sunlight]
Ooh! This is exactly what we needed! [to Stella] Did she text back yet?
[checks her phone while Ramirez's parrots eat their food] Negative. We shouldn't go in until we hear back, so just hang out until then. [goes inside the house]
[takes out a spray can of sunscreen] Better reapply my sunscreen. Gotta protect my epiderm. Know what I mean? [sprays himself and Zach in his sunscreen, which covers Zach's glasses]
That should be everything. The only evidence is my tense, nagging guilt.
[relieved] Thank you, guys. Now you better go. Principal Ramirez will be here in 20 minutes.
[Lincoln and his other friends start to leave]
Don't be nervous. There's no way Ramirez will know we used the pool. [starts to leave, until…]
[caws; mimicking Lincoln] There's no way Ramirez will know we used the pool.
[shocked] Did they just--?!
GPGreen Parrot
[caws; mimicking Zach] Pool party!
[horrified] They're repeating what we said!
Those featherheads are gonna rat us out!
[takes out a roll of duct tape] Oh, no, they won't! [attempts to tape their beaks shut, causing them to shriek in terror]
[grabs the duct tape out of her hands] You're not taping their beaks shut, Kara.
[The parrots squawk in relief]
Wait, guys, there's no reason why Ramirez would think they were talking about us.
[mimicking Rusty] Rusty Spokes cannonball!
[relieved] Phew. It's just Rusty.
[offended] Kara! Not cool, dawg!
GPGreen Parrot
[mimicking Clyde] Stella, the pool party hostess with the mostest! [squawks]
[squawks; also mimicking Clyde] Chef Clyde's tropical smoothies!
[sighs, realizing she's wrong] We're toast.
Welp, there goes my recommendation to U of M.
[disappointed] No. I'm the one she trusted, and it was my idea. I'll tell her it was all my fault.
[Five minutes later… Principal Ramirez parks her car into the driveway of her house just as Stella returns the original parrots to their perch and Rusty hides the replacement ones in his hair]
LLiam
[hastily as Principal Ramirez enters the backyard] Principal Ramirez. I bet you're wondering why we're all standing around here in our swimming costumes.
Not really. [shoves him, Zach and Kara out of the way; to her parrots, happily] There you are! Oh, my babies! Mommy missed you! [gives them smooches]
[mimicking Rusty] Rusty Spokes cannonball!
GPGreen Parrot
[squawks; mimicking Zach] Stella's pool party!
[mimicking Colonel Austin] Hasta la bye-bye, chump!
Yeah, about that. We can explain. We really messed up. We used the pool before we got your text.
[sighs] I'll just go to community college.
[puzzled] Wait, wait, wait. I'm confused. I told you to use the pool. Didn't you read my text?
[holds up her phone; confused] The one with the angry face emoji?
Angry face? I thought that was the "It's hot" emoji. [takes out her phone] See? I said, "I'm down. It's super hot. Swimming is the bomb."
