It was a rainy day at Royal Woods, one of the most dreary summer days as the Loud family was cooped up in their ramshackle house with nowhere to go outside and nothing much to do. The Loud siblings were bored and their plans for today were all but dashed by the weather.
"Man, is this storm ever going to stop?" Lori asked. "I can't get a good connection with my Boo-Boo Bear."
"Tell me about it. This storm's got me so down, I don't even feel like playing the blues," Luna sighed dejectedly.
"Yeah, and I was in the middle of making a dress based on a sunny summer day," Leni whined.
"Now I can't practice my shots under intense solar heat," Lynn grumbled, hands crossed.
"I can't even read my comic books on the roof in peace," Lincoln stated.
"I don't even feel inspired to do my jokes," Luan stated. "This weather's really rained on my parade."
The other Loud siblings moaned as Luan, the residential comedian, laughed at her own joke.
"Well, Luan's right about one thing: This weather's really dampening our mood."
"You said it. I hate days like these when everything's so dark and dreary," Lola complained.
"And what's with dark and dreary days?" Lucy asked, scaring the bejeezus out of her siblings. "As it so happens, I particularly enjoy this kind of day. It reminds me of the true darkness of our world and its ugly lies that we are blind to by the bright sunlight."
"I don't really get it at all," Lana dismissed, "but what do you guys have to complain about? This weather is perfect for mud wallowing and worm collecting!"
"Well, at least you two find this weather enjoyable," Lincoln said. "But the rest of us are bored out of our minds! There's nothing to do and not even our hobbies can help pass the time!"
"Bored out of your minds, you say?" came the voice of Lisa, the Loud family's young prodigy as she wheeled in something large in the wagon, covered in a white sheet. "Then fear not, sole male sibling unit, for I have recently completed a new invention that should keep us occupied and our mental capacities stimulated for the duration of this prolonging precipitation. Behold!"
Lisa threw off the tarp, revealing a device composite of a classic TV set, and wires attached to different video game systems, a disk system, and a digital satellite TV router, complete with a dish. It was framed by a ring of quartz, embedded with electrical bulbs used to conduct electricity, and send it through the wires connecting it to the mainframe.
"This is an interdimensional viewing device. It can project wavelengths of different worlds we would normally perceive as fictional, but are in fact reality," Lisa explained the basics to her siblings in layman's terms. "Whether it is a movie, a video game, or an animated television series, this device allows us to view those different worlds in real-time."
"You mean we can watch other worlds we thought were only make-believe on TV and video games!?" Lincoln excitedly summarized.
"That is correct, male sibling." Lisa grabbed the plug and inserted it into the outlet. She flipped on the switch, and the device immediately whirred to life.
The electricity surged around the quartz ring, creating a ring of voltage transferred to the bulbs and the wires siphoning its power into the device. The TV screen blinked on, depicting the images of a different world from fiction normally presented as visual entertainment. The other Loud siblings "oohhed" and "ahhhed" as Lisa turned and twisted the knob to adjust the wavelength, revealing other worlds and universes outside their own.
But in the middle of the demonstration, an errant bolt of lightning surged into the satellite dish, coursed through the wires, and trailed into the device. The result caused the machine to become unstable, hopping, clanging, and whirring loudly while Lisa desperately attempted to adjust... something to make it less erratic.
"What's happening!?" Lincoln yelled.
"That bolt of lightning has overloaded the quartz crystal and the circuitry!" Lisa yelled. "Get back, it's gonna blow!"
Wrong, the machine did not blow.
Instead, the dimensional wavelengths and the overloaded power coursing through the quartz opened up a vortex inside the TV screen. All matter was sucked into the screen like a powerful vacuum, and unfortunately, some of that matter belonged to the Loud siblings, who held on tight to each other or something to anchor them down.
"This is not possible! I've discovered a portal to another world inside my TV screen!" Lisa screamed, holding onto the couch for dear life. Her fingers slipped, and she was pulled into the TV screen, her screams echoing into nothing.
"Lisa!" Lincoln screamed, holding on to the doorframe for dear life, along with Lola and Lana.
"Our little sis is gone!" Luna screamed as her grip slipped from Leni before being sucked into the TV screen. "And now I'm gone, daddy! Gooooonnneee!"
"Luna!"
Next to go was Luan, who held onto the floor by digging her dummy Mr. Coconuts' teeth into the carpet. But then again, Luan was a kidder, so she kid herself trying to anchor herself down while she got sucked into the TV with her dummy.
"I've always wanted to say this when I turn sixty, but... that's all folks!"
Leni was the next to be sucked in, losing her grip from Lori...
"Wait! Don't eat me, Mr. TV! I never got to finish my ensemble!"
Followed by Lucy...
"Sigh... farewell my beloved Edwin. May we swarm like bats in another day."
Next was Lynn, Lola, and Lana, leaving only Lincoln to hold on for dear life.
"Oh man, I knew Lisa's experiments always backfired on her, but this is on a much grander scale! Thank goodness Lily isn't here to get sucked in the TV with us!" Lincoln ate his words as the little baby girl gurgled and giggled while spinning towards the vacuum in the TV screen. "Oh, come on! She was just upstairs for a nap!"
Lincoln's grip couldn't hold against the sheer force of the vacuum, and the sole brother of the Loud siblings was yanked away from the doorframe and into the TV. As his body and screams entered the TV, the screen shut off, and the machine died down. Within the interdimensional vortex, Lincoln twisted and tumbled along the pull of the cortex, screaming along the way. It was like riding in a large waterpark slide, but with a stronger pull of fluctuating gravity.
Before Lincoln knew it, he reached a light at the end of the tunnel, and suddenly, he fell onto a gravel-like surface. He tumbled a good distance away from the light and groaned, his stomach sore and nauseous.
"Lincoln!?"
"Guys!" Lincoln felt a heavy weight ram into his abdomen as the frightened twins Lola and Lana leapt for their big brothers' embrace. "Oof! Careful, my stomach's not feeling good."
"Oh, Linky, I'm so glad you're here!" Leni cried, sweeping her little brother into her tight embrace, further agitating the inside of boy's sore torso. The other sisters, except for Lisa, rushed over to greet Lincoln. "I was afraid you would've ended up somewhere else, or worse!"
"Leni, please! My stomach!" Lincoln wheezed.
"Ease up, Leni, our little bro's not looking too hot," Luna suggested, and the older and ditsier blonde complied. "You okay, Lincoln? You look like you've taken a nasty tumble."
"Well, it couldn't be anymore painful than getting swept up in your fights," Lincoln said, brushing the dust off.
"Now that we're all here, does someone wanna tell me where we are?" Lori asked.
"Perhaps I can answer that, my eldest sibling unit," Lisa said, adjusting the knobs of a remote control-like device in her hands. "According to my calculations, our accidental creation of the interdimensional vortex has transported us to another world, but I cannot get a decent reading on this world's wavelengths. What I can determine, however, is that the fluctuations within the vortex has transported us to this world, but our statures have been greatly diminished in comparison to the natural stature of our environment."
"English, please?" the incredulous Lori deadpanned.
"Simply put, we have entered a different world, but we have been shrunken down to the size of bugs."
"What!? Shrunk!?" Lincoln screamed. He looked around and saw that his young genius sister was correct. "Oh wow, we really are small! If we don't get out of here soon, we'll end up flattened like bugs!"
"But we still need an idea to where we've been transported to," Lucy stated, once again unintentionally jumpscaring her siblings.
Which form of media did the Loud siblings end up in?
(A/N: For the live-action routes, you can use the live-action versions of the characters in The Really Loud House)
Note: This chapter may say that all of the Loud siblings are transported to another media universe, but that doesn't mean you have to stick with it from there. If you want, it could be just Lincoln or any number of the Louds. The choice is up to you. Thank you.
