13. Space Invader

Space Invader (AKA: Gloomy Roomie)

It's certainly not easy living in a big family. Heck, even using the bathroom can be a challenge. But one way or another, Laney got around.

Luna: [singing] I'm washin' my face, 'cause it makes me feel so beautiful.

Luan: [gets floss stuck in her braces] Hey, look! I'm at a floss for words! [laughs]

Leni: I brush my hair exactly 50 times a night to keep it beautiful. 34...35...36...

Lori: Hey, Leni, how old was that boy that asked you out?

Leni: [losing count thanks to Lori] '16...17...18...

[Lori smiles slyly at her little joke, we see Laney at the sink trying to reach for her toothbrush]

Laney: Hey Leni, can you pass me my toothrush? It's the orange one with the number two written on it.

Leni: [gives Laney her toothbrush, but loses count again] 2...3...4...

Laney: Now where is that toothpaste? [she hears Lynn and Lucy fighting over it]

Lynn: Hey! I had the toothpaste first!

Lucy: No, I did.

Lynn: Keep your spooky hands off it!

[While the girls get ready, Lincoln pops in and looks around and snatches the toothpaste out of Lynn's hand]

Lincoln: I'll take that.

Lynn: Hey! Learn to share!

[Lincoln accidentally dabs toothpaste on Lily's head and hands the tube back to Lynn, Laney dabbed the toothpaste from Lily and started brushing her teeth]

Moments later, Laney was walking to her room, when she saw two of her roomates arguing.

Lynn: You're always Miss Gloom and Doom! Like, would it kill you to smile once in a while?!

Lucy: It would.

Lincoln: What's going on?

Lori: Lucy and Lynn are going at it. Again.

Laney: I wouldn't worry about it. This happens all the time.

Luan: I'd make a joke about fighting, but I can't think of a good punchline. [laughs] Get it? Get it?

Lisa: [recording] Human subjects seem to be proving Charles Darwin correct.

Leni: I can't bare to watch! [puts cucumber slices over her facial mask] That's better.

Lori: I'd hate to get in the middle of this one.

Lincoln: I totally agree. [goes back to his room while the jock and goth of the family continue their quarrel]

Laney: [sighs] He's so lucky. He doesn't have to deal with this every night.

As she went off to her bed she noticed someone was missing.

Laney: Where's Lynn?

Lucy: She went to sleep in a different room. She didn't want to sleep with me anymore.

Laney: I don't remember that happening durng one of your quarrels before.

Lucy: Whatever. I didn't want be in the same room as her anyway.

[Laney looked at Lynn's bed]

Laney: Do you think Lynn will mind if I keep her bed for her tonight?

Lucy: Like I said, whatever.

Laney walked over to Lynn's bed, and at first she found her pillow to be a bit lumpy. But she found a football and removed it then went to sleep.

Laney: Goodnight... [Lucy is already asleep]

Laney tried her best to sleep but Lynn's mattress was not what Laney is used to. She shuffled around but she couldn't get comfortable. She then heard a strange sound from the window, it was just the tree ruslting in wind. But Laney didn't know that...

Laney: Lucy... Are you awake? Lucy? [Lucy was still asleep]

It was clear to Laney that she missed Lynn. And sleeping somewhere other than her bunk isn't as easy as she thought it would be. The next day Laney was going to the bathroom, when she sees Lincoln soaking wet with his pillow and blanket.

Luan: Mornin', Linc. Wet's up? [laughs]

[Lynn is getting out of bed and feels refreshed and sees Lincoln]

Lynn: What a great night's sleep. You two look terrible. [Lincoln starts pushing her] Hey!

Lincoln: Thank you for staying at Chateau Lincoln, where we have a one night maximum stay. Thank you. [pushes her back into her own room and his to his; but off in the distance...]

Lucy: What are you doing here?

Lynn: What am I doing here? [gets kicked out]

Lucy: Get out!

Lynn: What do you mean "get out"? Fine! I'll just stay in Lincoln's room again! He's a way cooler roomie, anyway! [goes back in Lincoln's room]

Lincoln: But- [Lynn closes the door] Lucy! Please make up with Lynn!

Lucy: I'd rather wear pink.

Lincoln: But-[Lucy closes the door and Lincoln sighs, Laney to continued to the bathroom]

That afternoon in Laney's room, she was looking through Lynn's trophies.

Laney: [sighs] You know, Lynn used to tell me about how she won all these trophies.

Lucy: You're still talking about her?

Laney: Come on! Don't you miss her at all?

Lucy: Of course not. She always complained about me being 'gloomy', never smiling, thinks i'd be better with a brighter attitude. Ask her yourself, she's having a great time without me.

And so Laney did, she went to Lincoln's room where Lynn was bunking in. But once again she found herself in a weird situation...

Laney: Uhm, Lynn? Do you..[she was speechless to find Lincoln in goth attire and reading poems like Lucy]

Lincoln: [reads] [starts reading] Space: deep, black, endless, like my heart. Space, mine invaded. Torn apart. This is the real me, Lynn. I can understand if you don't want to be my roommate anymore.

Laney: Umm... Nevermind. [closes the door]

Laney walked back to her room only notice Lucy ricocheting one of Lynn's balls across the wall. It was clear to Laney that Lucy does miss Lynn, if only there was a way to get them to say it to each other. That very night, Laney was reading a book herself, it was titled: Hug & Make-Up: Tips On How To Reconnect With Others. She was reading it to find a way to bring Lucy and Lynn back together. Which speaking of, Lynn came in but only for a brief moment.

Laney: Lynn! You..

Lynn: Hey Lanes, just here for my stuff. [grabs her stuff] Thanks!

Laney sighed as Lynn left and continued reading. The very next morning, Laney's plan to reunite her roomates was in motion. She walked into the kitchen to see both Lynn and Lucy making breakfast.

Laney: [thinks] First things first, I got to convince them that they miss each other. [walks over to them] Hey guys. So Lucy, I hear Lynn says she'd like to hear your latest poem.

Lucy: Tell Lynn that I'm not saying anything to her.

Laney: [turns to Lynn] Lucy said she has a hard time sleeping without a ball bouncing on the wall.

Lynn: Tell Lucy I've got a much cooler roommate who likes my ball bouncing.

Laney: Lucy-

Lucy: If you're trying to get us back together by lying. Forget it.

Laney: But... [sighs and leaves]

Much later Laney was reading her book, until she bumped into Lincoln on his way upstairs.

[At the same time]

Lincoln: Laney!

Laney: Lincoln! So.. how was your day?

Lincoln: Fine. Yours?

Laney: I don't want to talk about it..

They both took a deep breath and said simultaneously...

Lincoln: I want Lynn out of my room!

Laney: I want Lynn back in my room!

Lincoln: What?

Laney: I couldn't stand seeing my roomies fight like this. And also it's getting very uncomfy sleeping in Lynn's bed.

Lincoln: Why couldn't you just sleep in your bed?

Laney: Call it a friendly gesture. But I was just keeping Lynn's bed warm for her. Though even I think it was a bit uneccesary. I just want things to go back to the way it was... [Lincoln sees the book Laney was reading]

Lincoln: Hey, can I see that book?

Laney: Oh sure. [Gives Lincoln the book, he flips through the pages until he finds something interesting]

Lincoln: Hey Laney. I think this little number may do the trick. [shows Laney a certain page and she smiled] So here's the plan...

Later that night, Lincoln executes his plan; he slips two little invitations into specific spots: one in Lucy's poetry book and the other under his door. As he goes to hide, the two get the invitation and know why they're there and decide to get the dinner over with, after a long pause.

Lucy & Lynn: I'm glad you finally wanna apologize to me. [angry] What? Me apologize to you? You're here to apologize to me!

[Lincoln realizes his plan is now going south from there as they are about to go at it yet again]

Lucy: You are absolutely crazy.

Lynn: What? Are you crazy? Absolutely not!

Lucy: I don't understand why you think this is my fault!

Lynn: I mean, really!

Lucy: You are absolutely wrong.

Lynn: Just respect the space!

[The commotion grabs the attention of the other sisters]

Laney: Do you think they lke the dinner I made them?

Lori: I doubt they're going to use it for eating...

Luna: Yeah, hate to be a part of that fight. Don't know how ya do it Lanes.

Laney sighs and went inside the room knowing what to do.

Lucy: It's just ridiculous.

Lynn: I'm not the one who started it! You're the one who started it!

Lucy: Please.

Lynn: Don't even get me started!

Laney: ENOUGH! [gets their attention] I made this dinner so that you two would make up.

[The feuding roommates feel offended]

Lynn: You did this?

Lucy: Why?

Laney: I've been in this family for quite a long time. And I know it can be hard to share a space, It's hard to share period. But we're siblings, and we're always there for each other. And I know deep down you two miss said each other, you're just too stubborn to admit it.

[The two then see what she means]

Lucy: I guess I do have trouble sleeping without a ball banging against the wall.

Lynn: And I guess I do miss hearing you sigh heavily as you write your poems.

Lincoln: Laney's right. Now you two make up, because if I have to spend one more night with "Snorezilla" over here, I'm going to go insane! [Lynn throws a meatball at him]

Lucy: Ha! Nice throw.

Lynn: You like that? [throws another one at Laney]

Laney: Oh yeah? [throws it back and Lynn ducks and it hits Lucy instead and Lynn laughs at it and Lucy hits her with one into her mouth]

Lucy: Ha ha.

[The two of them grab some spaghetti and look like they're about to take their fight to a whole new level]

Lincoln & Laney: [looked at each other worriedly] Uh-oh...

[But the fight is more for their enjoyment than their frustration and they start laughing. Lincoln and Laney join in on the fray]

Lori: Well...I'm outskies.

Luan: "Yeah. It's way pasta our bedtime. [laughs]

[The other sisters just sigh at Luan's pun as they head off to bed; the food fight is now over and the jock and goth are satisfied]

Lynn: So, I can move back in?

Lucy: Nothing would make me happier.

Lynn: [busts out fist] Two for flinching! [but Lucy didn't flinch] Dang! It never works on you.

[They hug]

Laney: Well, I'm glad you two finally made up. But how are we supposed to sleep with all this mess?

[They made quite a mess from their food fight and it got all over their beds, the girls all looked at Lincoln]

Moments later...

[Lincoln's room]

Lincoln: [to the viewers] Space...the final frontier. Sure, I'm lucky enough to have a room to call my own, but in the Loud House, we all know when we need to share.

[It's revealed that Lynn, Lucy, and Laney are sleeping with Lincoln in his room tonight until they have time to clean up the mess they made]

Lincoln: But just for one night! [slips on his Loco Lincoln mask] Buenas noches!
