Episode 8: Hand-Me-Downer


The day started with Lincoln and Clyde awkwardly staring at something.

Clyde: It's nice, but I'm kinda surprised you chose a pink one with streamers and a basket.

Lincoln: I didn't choose it, Clyde. It's a hand-me-down from Lori.

Clyde: (enamored) This was Lori's bike?

Then he passionately held onto it.

Lincoln spoke to the viewers.

Lincoln: In a big family, hand-me-downs are a fact of life. Here, let me take you through a few of... Lincoln Loud's Hand-Me-Down Greatest Hits.

Hand-Me-Down #1

Lincoln: There was Leni's sparkly shirt...

Lincoln is wearing a shirt with "LL" bejeweled on it and it doesn't even fit him.

Leni: Sorry. It has my initials on it.

Lincoln: But "LL" are also my initials. Never mind.

As Leni leaves, Lincoln hides the shirt under the bed.

Hand-Me-Down #2.

Lincoln: ...and then there was Colonel Crackers, Luan's ventriloquist dummy...

Flashback Lincoln: (practicing his act) I'm thirsty.

He took a sip of water but spits it out from drinking too much.

Colonel Crackers: And they call me the dummy.

Lincoln hid Colonel Crackers under his bed.

Hand-Me-Down #3.

Lincoln: ...Luna's electric guitar...

Luna rocks out so hard that she ends up breaking her guitar and hands it to Lincoln.

Luna: Here you go, bro. All it needs is love. Love is all it needs.

And then she quickly leaves

Flashback Lincoln: (disappointed) And strings, and a neck, and a body.

Again he puts the hand-me-down under his bed.

Hand-Me-Down #4

Lincoln: ...and Lynn's, um...

Lynn launched her jockstrap right at Lincoln's face.

Lynn: You'll thank me during those penalty kicks.

Then she leaves quickly

Flashback Lincoln: (grossed out) Grody...

Again he put it under the bed

Hand-Me-Down #5

Lincoln: Though, not all of them have been so bad.

Flashback Lincoln was reading a comic when he heard someone knocking. The door opened and in came Leo. Holding the blue helmet that Lincoln would be synonymous with.

Leo: Catch!

He threw it at Flashback Lincoln who caught it.

Leo: You may wanna take care of that and keep it close. Trust me, it's spared me from a lot of headaches in life. Or at least those our sisters didn't cause with their antics.

Leo then left. Instead of putting the helmet under the bed, Lincoln smiled and tried it on. It was a perfect fit.

End of Lincoln Loud's Hand-Me-Down Greatest Hits.

Clyde: I don't think this bike is gonna fit under your bed, Lincoln.

Lincoln: I know. Trust me, I already tried. But I definitely can't ride it. It's embarrassing.

Clyde: Hey, look! Lori even got you a personalized plate!

The plate has Lincoln's name on it with a girly design.

Clyde: (enamored) She's so thoughtful...

Lincoln: (awkwardly) Uh... yeah... no!

He pulled out some duct tape and wrapped it around the plate covering up his name.

Lincoln: That's better.

Then three boys came up to them on their bikes.

Papa Wheelie: Heh! Nice bike, kid!

Flat Tire: Yeah, that bike is so lame it... it... yeah, I got nothing.

Lincoln: You guys think this is mine? Please! This is my sister's. I'd totally show you my bike, but it's in the shop. Yep. My big brother knows a guy, so I got him to call in a favor. Now, he's helping get her totally tricked out. And I told him to get the brakes taken off. Because, you know, brakes are for wimps.

Rusty Spokes: Whoa! That sounds sick!

Lincoln: Oh, it's sick alright. Temperature of 102!

Papa Wheelie: I can't wait to check this bike out! Bring it by the park when you get it back.

Lincoln suddenly sees the flaw in his act.

Lincoln: Oh... uh, I... uh...

Rusty Spokes: We'll be waiting for ya. Later!

The trio then biked away.

Clyde: Uh... Lincoln, what are you gonna do? You don't have a sick bike.

At that moment, that's when Lynn came in riding on her sick bike.

Lynn: LOOK OUT! SICK BIKE COMING THROUGH!

She did a backward roll and a wheelie and flawlessly parked it in the garage.

Lincoln: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Clyde: (fantasizing about Lori) About how Lori gets her hair so shiny?

Lincoln: No, I'm thinking about Lynn's bike. I'll just borrow it for an hour, show it off to those guys, and then I'm off the hook!

Clyde: That sounds like a really dumb plan. AND I'M TOTALLY IN!

The best friends high-fived

Scene-Changed

At the park. The gang was riding their bikes along a dirt track and Lincoln entered on Lynn's bike.

Lincoln: Hey, guys. Feast your eyes.

Papa Wheelie: Whoa-ho-ho! That bike really is sick!

Flat Tire: (notices something) Yeah...and that bike is sick, too...but not in a good way.

Clyde: What? My parents' tandem? I'll have you know when two riders are on this hog, it could burn some serious rubber.

Lincoln: Well, anyway, we should bail. You probably won't see me riding this again. I like to keep it in the garage so it doesn't get dinged.

Rusty Spokes: Wait! How would you like to be our new leader?

Papa Wheelie: Hey! I thought I was your leader!

Rusty Spokes: Sorry, Papa Wheelie. You're out.

Papa Wheelie: (frustrated) Hmm!

Rusty Spokes: I'm Rusty Spokes, and this Flat Tire. What's your handle gonna be?

Lincoln: Hmm... how about Chain Linc?

Rusty Spokes and Flat Tire: Sick...

Clyde: Lincoln! You can't join their crew! You gotta get Lynn's bike home!

Lincoln: (prompting) We'll call you Two Seats.

Clyde: Okay, I'm in.

Lincoln: Okay, guys... let's ride!

The boys all went riding down a street hill and on a rocky road where Clyde got his tandem bike stuck.

Then they hit the bike shop and noticed a mannequin on the display window and use it for Clyde's partner rider so he can ride just fine now.

When Lincoln got home, he's just in time as Lynn took the bike for a ride and he hid in the rafters of the garage.

Later when she brought her bike back, Lincoln dropped down on it...

...only to hurt himself when landing.

Lincoln: (in excruciating pain) Oof! Where's Lynn hand-me-down when I need it?

After healing up, Lincoln went riding and came across a motorcyclist named T-Bone on his motorcycle and pressed a button that made engine sounds and rode off.

T-Bone: Sick.

At a school, some cheerleaders are gawking at a football quarterback.

Lincoln: (suavely) Hey, ladies...

The cheerleaders give Lincoln their attention and the quarterback feels upset.

Now the boys were riding through the farmlands.

Farmer: Nice hog!

Lincoln: You too!

No literally. The farmer was sitting on top of a big pig.

Lincoln eventually started giving everyone he met with Lynn's bike a ride on it, from each of the cheerleaders all the way to including the farmer's pig.

Now the gang were walking together eating ice cream.

Lincoln: You see, Clyde? I told you being in a bike crew would be cool.

Clyde: Who's Clyde? My name's Two Seats.

Lincoln: Sometimes in life, you just gotta take chances. You know what they say, No risk, no re-(Startled) wha?

Clyde: What's a re-wah?

Lincoln noticed that Lynn's bike was missing.

Lincoln: My bike! It's gone!

Clyde: (Angrily to his mannequin) Manny, you were supposed to watch the bikes!

Lincoln started to panic since it wasn't really his bike that got stolen.

Lincoln: Oh no! What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna tell Lynn?

Back at the Loud House. Lincoln was trying to come up with a story to explain the disappearance of Lynn's bike.

Lincoln: You see, Lynn, this bear came into the garage and rode off with your bike.' Nah... 'Dad sold your bike to pay for Lisa's new bifocals.' No... A spaceship came down and beamed up your bike. Nah, who am I kidding, even Leo would call that a cheap movie plot.

He groaned knowing that was too far a shot. Then he looked at himself in the mirror.

Lincoln: Looks like I'm just gonna have to tell her the truth.

He came out of his room, but was wearing Lynn's hand-me-down to prepare for the worst and went to her room that she shared with Lucy.

Lincoln: Uh... hey, Lynn?

Lynn was gearing up and putting on her cycle helmet.

Lynn: Can't talk now, Lincoln. Only a few hours till the big competition.

Lincoln: Wait? What big competition?

Lynn: The stunt-bike competition!

Lincoln: Are you using your bike?

Lynn: Duh. Now move aside. I gotta brush up on my Crossover Stoppies.

Lincoln blocked the way though.

Lincoln: I wouldn't do that. I mean, uh... when's the last time your bike had a good tune up?

Lynn: (becoming irritated) I don't know. Who the heck cares?

Lincoln: Who cares about your safety? I do. Which is why I'm gonna get your bike tuned up for you before the competition.

Lynn: (irritated) Lincoln...

Lincoln: (Holds her cheeks) I insist! I'll be back before you can say 'Combover Sloppy'.

Lynn: It's Cross-over Stoppy.

Lincoln: Right. Those."

He quickly leaves and contacted Clyde.

Lincoln: Chain Linc to Two Seats! Come in, Two Seats!

Clyde: This is Two Seats. Did you tell Lynn? Are you calling from an ambulance?

Lincoln: No. Something's come up. We need to find Lynn's bike now! Can you come get me on the tandem?

Clyde: I would, but my parents to go antiquing. They could be gone for a while. They said something about finding the perfect Amish butter dish.

Lincoln: (Determined) Then I know what I have to do...

Lincoln was now searching all over town for Lynn's bike... on Lori's hand-me-down bike. Let's just say his status went from high to low real fast.

At the park, Lincoln looks around for it there and comes across the crew.

Papa Wheelie: Chain Linc? What's up with that lame bike?

Lincoln: (faking it) This heap? It's my sister's. I'm just borrowing it so I can find my bike.

Flat Tire: Oh, right. Of course." (to Papa Wheelie) Hey, why are you questioning Chain Linc?

Papa Wheelie: I wasn't. (To Lincoln) Chain, I'm sorry. I know you would never ride a lame-o bike like that. (To his crew mates) Let's ride, boys!

Lincoln: Wait! Okay. Okay. *sighs* I can't live this lie anymore. The cool bike you saw me riding earlier... it was really my sister's. I took it so you guys wouldn't make fun of me for riding this one... this pink little nightmare with the basket and the streamers...

Lincoln removed the tape from the plate, revealing his name.

Lincoln: ...is my bike.

He breathed a sigh of relief; then turned to the viewers.

Lincoln: Phew. It actually feels good to get that off my chest.

The trio however, shows disapproval of this.

Papa Wheelie: That's your bike?

Rusty Spokes: You're a joke!

Flat Tire: Chain Linc? More like Weakest Linc!

They all laughed at him.

Lincoln: That feels a little less good.

Rusty Spokes: You're out of our crew! Papa Wheelie, you're our leader again.

Papa Wheelie: Yes! Let's ride, boys!

The trio pedaled off and left Lincoln behind. Then a trio of little girly bike riding girls came by.

Little Girl: You could be our leader. We'll call you Sweet Feet.

Lincoln: *sighs* There's only one thing left to do."

TIMESKIP

Back at The Loud House. Lincoln has told the truth to Lynn. Of course, she's incredibly furious having heard Lincoln's story. Just then Leo was also returning home and drove up to the driveway. And saw everyone of the Loud siblings were outside on the porch, and Lynn was really furious.

Leo: Oh no. Now what.

Lynn: YOU DID WHAT?! I've got my competition!

Lincoln: I'm really sorry, Lynn!

Leo: HEY! WHOAH! Whoah, cool it Lynn. What the heck is going on here?

Lynn: Stinkin here took my bike without my permission, then he got it stolen at the worst time possible.

Leo: Linc, care to tell me why you took her bike in the first place?

Lincoln: I'm sorry. I just didn't want my friends to see me on Lori's hand-me-down.

Lynn: Uh...hello! What do you think my bike is? A hand-me-down!

Lincoln: (surprised) It is?

Leni: It's true. It was my bike first.

FLASHBACKS BEGIN

A younger Leni was on her bike.

Young Leni: Go, bike!

But then she fell sideways and landed in a mud puddle. Young Leo came running over and helped her back up. He was wearing a red shirt and black jeans and green converse shoes.

Young Leo: You're supposed to peddle first Leni. Bikes don't move like roombas.

Young Leni: Ohh. Okay... what's a roomba?

Young Leo sighed and smacked himself in the head.

Luna: Then she handed it down to me. I had to do some work on it, but when I was done, it was ride, Sally, ride.

Luna worked on making the bike look more hardcore. She included a sidecar for Charles to ride in.

Flashback then Cut to a younger Luan on a unicycle juggling bowling pins and apples.

Luan: Then Luna handed it down to me, and I made it part of my act.

Young Luan bites down on some of the apples and then accidentally bite down on a bowling pin and breaks her teeth.

Young Luan: Looks like I got a 7-10 split! Hahahaha!

Young Leo: (off-screen, worried) Luan, please tell me those are your fake vampire teeth?

FLASBACKS END

Lynn: Luan handed it down to me. And I turned it into the bike that you just got stolen.

Lori: See, Lincoln? We all have to deal with hand-me-downs. We just learned to make the best of them.

Lincoln: You don't have to deal with them. You're the oldest after Leo.

Lori: Are you kidding me? This isn't really a tank top! It's literally the top of Mom's old girdle!

Leni, Luna, Luan, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily: Eww!

Lynn: Well, enough chit-chat. I gotta get to my competition.

Lynn took up Lori's hand-me-down bike.

Lincoln: You're gonna ride that?!

Lynn: (Annoyed) What choice do I have?

Leo: Actually Lynn... I think I might have something that might be helpful for you right now.

Leo said. Looking at Lynn before looking towards the garage.

Lynn: Pfft, yeah right. Unless you've got another bike just laying around here somewhere that you can conjure up from out of nowhere, I doubt even you can help me right now.

Leo: Actually... I think I do. Hopefully she's still in the garage and Dad didn't scrap her.

Leo began walking towards the garage.

Lynn: Wait a minute... her?

Luna: Hold on? You don't actually mean her do you?

Leni: *gasp* O M Gosh. Like I totes haven't seen her in years. I had no idea she was still staying here.

Luan: You don't think she's too far down the her-t locker now do you? I know I've barely her-d about her nowadays. Hahaha get it?

Lincoln: What are you guys talking about?

Everyone began walking to the garage as Leo was inside shifting around, moving boxes out of the way.

Leo: I know she's still in here. I could've swore I caught a glimpse of her here recently when we were filming.

Leo said to himself scratching his head trying to remember.

Lana: Who her? What are you talking about big bro?

Lisa: I too would like to know more detail about this 'her' you and our eldest sister units are speaking so familiar of.

Lori: Hold on! I thought you literally got rid of her years ago when you outgrew her?

Leo: Are you kidding? The memories we made together. The work I put into making us a working unit? Pfft, I wouldn't scrap her even for spare change.

Lynn: Okay, that's it. I'm about to be running late soon. I'm ticked off. So Leo you better start explaining or so help me I'm gonna make you feel more hurt than a bruised banana.

Leo however wasn't paying attention to Lynn's attitude and threat. And he looked all around until finally he saw a glimmer of red.

Leo: Aha! I knew it. Right here.

Leo moved more boxes out of the way, and began pulling out what he found. Emerging from the shadows of the garage, Leo came out with a surprise.

Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa: Whoah!

Lily: Oooh.

Leo: Guys... say hello to Blayze. She's a 1969 Indian Boy Racer mini bike. Before Glynda, she was my first ever motorcycle. Found her abandoned on the roadside and brought her home. Spent my whole Summer of Fourteen fixing her up and getting her working.

Lori: It's true. He would literally spend the nights in the garage with a sleeping bag.

Leni: I can't even remember how many times he changed his outfits. It was like the world changed everyday but him.

Luna: I remember mom and dad had to make us come out here and drag him inside just to make him shower and eat dinner at the table.

Luan: He was such a heavy sleeper, he was wheelie two-tire-d to feel the speed bumps on the steps. Hahaha, get it?

Lori: After he got Blayze up and running, he literally went everywhere with her. From school, to the Burpin Burger, to the set where he filmed Rektainment.

Luna: Heck, big brah stopped riding along with the rest of us in Vanzilla.

Lana: Wait? If you found her on the side of the road, where'd you get the parts to bring her back to life?

Leo: For once Flipp wasn't so useless and he had the parts I needed to get her up and running. The prices though were total extortion. I had to walk so many dogs and mow so many lawns, I smelled like wet dog and dry grass for two months. But it was worth it when I heard her engine come alive.

Lucy: So why are we only finding out about her for the first time now?

Leo: Well, one it's because I outgrew her by the time I hit sixteen, I tried to hand her down to Luna, but she didn't want anything to do with her. Then I tried passing her to Luan, but even she refused. Opting instead for the unicycle.

Luna: I like living a fast, free, and wildlife big brah, but even I have my limits. Especially when it came to Blayze. Girl almost made me bust my collarbone the first time I took her for a spin.

Luan: Guess you can say she was too much for us two-handle bar above our pay grade. We couldn't break her in, but she sure almost broke us down on the side of the road. Hahaha, get it?

Leo: Anyway... Lynn, you and Linc were still too young, so I put her in storage and thought I'd wait for the right time. But it slipped my mind, then all this talk about hand-me-downs made me remember I had Blayze stored away. Plus, you have to be thirteen or older in order to ride her first.

Lynn: Well I don't have time to complain right now, so I guess I can join the motor division. Will she work?

Leo looked at Blayze and back at Lynn with a smirk.

Leo: Let's find out.

Leo put fuel into Blayze's tank, filled her tires with air, oiled her joints, and gave her a quick dust off.

Leo: Now keep in mind, she's like a wild bronco. Her throttle was always real sensitive so if you give her a lot of force, she'll really give you her all and try to make you get off. So try to be a little gentle.

Lynn: Yeah, yeah. I got it. Come on already.

Leo moved aside and let Lynn get on Blayze. Strapping her helmet, she tried to kick it backwards to start her but it jammed.

Leo: You have to kick it forward. That's what her model was built for.

Lynn groaned and began kicking forward. The first time nothing happened other than rusty metal. The second time she only barely got a sputter. The third time she got more sputters. Now flustered, Lynn yelled and gave it her all the fourth time. This time Blayze came alive and began revving loud.

Leo: She lives. Alright now remember take the throttle-

Lynn: Leo! I've rode dirt bikes before. I'm sure I can handle one simple little motorbike.

Leo: Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. Now take a few laps around-

Before he could finish, Lynn gave the throttle a firm twist and everyone found out why Leo gave her the name Blayze.

Lynn: WHOOOOAAHHHHH!!!

She darted fast like a bullet, and was speeding all over the street like a runaway engine. Not even Lola's Princess car was this wild when she gave it maximum overdrive. Lana was both amazed and a bit frightened. The first time she ever felt intimidated by a vehicle.

Lola: Now I see why Luna and Luan didn't want to take her.

Lana: Yeah, Leo wasn't exaggerating when he said she was like a wild bronco.

Lynn: HOW. DO. I. SLOW. DOWWWNNN!

Leo: Ease on her throttle and slowly press the hand lever. Press it too hard and you'll go flying a football. Be gentle.

Lynn did as he said, and was able to slow Blayze down and slowly come up to the front of the house.

Lynn: Leo... I don't know what to say... other than... WOOOOOO, MAN! CAN THIS THING GO OR WHAT? No wonder you called her Blayze. I am so totally all in with her.

Leo smiled proudly upon hearing that. Happy that Blayze found a new rider that she could really connect with after him.

Leo: Glad to know. I figured you two would connect. Remember, go easy and get a feel for her. When I got Glynda I didn't start drag racing her, I had to break her in slowly. Same for Blayze.

Lynn: No promises. Crud! I forgot my practice. I'll try not to cause too much carnage on my way back. Thanks Leo. You're the best. Later losers.

Lynn revved up Blayze, and sped away down the road. Lincoln sighed in relief.

Leo: That's twice you owe me Linc.

TIMESKIP

Clyde: Hey, buddy!

Clyde arrived on Lynn's sick bike.

Lincoln: (relieved) Clyde! You found Lynn's bike!

Clyde: Actually it wasn't me. My parents found it. They weren't as lucky with the butter dish, though.

Lincoln: This is great! Maybe there's still time to get it to Lynn before she finishes in the competition!

Lynn: (riding in on Blayze, whose engine is heard piling in hot) YEE-HEE-HEE-HAW!

She holds up a trophy.

Lynn: Lynn Loud, bringing home the gold! Boo-yah!

Lincoln: You won? That's amazing! Hey, I've got good news, too. Your bike turned up.

Lynn: Eh, you can keep it. I'm definitely more into Blayze now. No wonder Leo worked hard on this baby. She's pretty sick.

Lynn revved up Blayze and rode off. Lincoln and Clyde looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Soon, the bike gang came rolling back.

Lincoln: Guys, check it out! I got the bike back and now it's really mine!

Papa Wheelie: Cool, but we're not here for you. We're here for your sister, Lynn. Her bike is the sickest!

Flat Tire: Temperature of 103!

Lynn road passed them with great speed, and the boys started to head on out for a sweet ride.

Rusty Spokes: Yeah! Lynnsanity! You're officially our new leader!

Flat Tire: Whoo-hoo!

Papa Wheelie: Aw, come on!

Lynn: Keep up losers.

Lincoln sighed that he'll never be part of their gang again and noticed Lana playing in the mud.

Lincoln: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Clyde: (swooning) About whether Lori gets her teeth whitened, or are they naturally that beautiful?

Lincoln: No. I'm thinking that I had my turn with this. Maybe it's time to hand it down like Leo did Blayze. Hey, Lana. I got a bike for ya.

Lana: Huh? Wow! Thanks, Lincoln! I guess it's got potential. But it could use a little... adjustments.

She then started making some adjustments to it via a hammer and lots of dents. Lincoln backed away in fear.

Scene Change

Lincoln spoke to the viewers.

Lincoln: Thanks to my sisters and my brother, I've got a whole new view of hand-me-downs. It's not about what you get. It's all about what you do with it.

Lincoln had now taken all of his hand-me-downs out for a ride with Clyde on his parents' tandem bike.

Colonel Crackers: Listen to what he says, kids.

Scene Change

Leo was in the garage giving Glynda a check up and making sure she was kept in working order. Then he heard Blayze's engines pulling up to the house and into the garage.

Leo: I take it she's working beyond your expectations?

Lynn: You kidding me? At first she caught me off guard, but after five minutes on the road, I got the hang of her. Think you can help me maybe get her up to the modern day? I noticed she felt a little... rusty.

Leo: I mean, almost two years in a garage that belongs to the Loud house will do that. I'm not surprised, she could use a little love. She always did, it's how she came back from the dead.

Lynn: I could tell. I don't suppose you'd mind if I added a little... Lynnifications to her? Some decal maybe?

Leo: Hey, don't forget she's yours now. So, you do what you want to make her feel like yours. Just don't wreck her beyond repair Evel Knievel

Lynn: Pfft, not a chance. By the way I kinda wanted to ask ya' something.

Leo: Shoot.

Lynn: Now that I got my own set of motor wheels... Think we can go for a ride together? Please?

Leo smiled and helped refill Blayze with more fuel. As the sun was setting, Leo was riding down the street, with Lynn close and following him from behind.

The End.
