"I'm proud of you, Sis"

part one

The Loud siblings exit Vanzilla, arriving home after Luan's performance at the Chortle Portal. On the way home, everyone was telling Luan how proud of her they were for winning the competition.

Once it was time for bed, Luna and Luan were changing out of their day clothes into their pajamas. Luna was continually staring at Luan and smiling.

"What, can't keep your eyes off of my voluptuous body?" Asked Luan with a seductive pose before slipping on her nightshirt.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry, sis. I was just wanting to tell you something. I was waiting until we were alone to say it." Replied Luna as she finished putting on her nightshirt.

"Alone, huh? You are finally succumbing to my charms, you are madly in love with me! Is that it!" said Luan as she batted her eyelashes.

"Ha ha! It is great to have you back as your old self, sis. That is what I want to talk about." said Luna as she sat down on Luan's bed and patted the spot next to her, inviting her sister to sit.

Accepting the gesture, Luan sat next to Luna. Luna grabbed Luan's hand with both of hers.

"I just wanted to say how happy I am for you, sis. Winning the competition tonight. You were great up there. You were a natural, in your own element, where you belong." said Luna as she continually caressed Luan's hand.

"Thanks, Luna. That means a lot to me, coming from my best friend." responded Luan with a tear in her eye.

"You're welcome sis. I really mean it. When you said that you were done with comedy, I did not like that at all. I mean, I understand how you felt. But I still don't think you quite understand our point of view. When we were saying all that stuff about you earlier, we were just mad about the way you were telling us about the competition. Come on, hitting Lincoln with a spring loaded boxing glove, causing Lori and Leni to mess up their make-up, and what else was there? Oh, flushing the toilet while I was in the shower! Couldn't you just invite us to come by simply asking? Now, I know that the fact that we respond to your puns and jokes with groans, but I for one do find them clever, and sometimes funny. I am amazed at how fast you come up with them, sis. Somebody says or does something, and bang! A pun. You are just like that guy who played Buddy on "The Dick VanDyke Show", what was his name?-

"Morey Amsterdam." answered Luan.

"Yeah, that's it. You yourself told me he was called the human joke machine. Well, among our family, you are the human pun machine! Don't let it get you down when we groan at your puns. Yes, we are annoyed most of the time you crack one, but that does not mean we want you to give up comedy altogether. It's what you do best, and it makes you happy. You make other people happy. I am so proud that you use your comedic talents to entertain at birthday parties. I am sure you have made a lot of children, and even their parents very happy. You belong in comedy, sis. Please, never, ever think of giving it up again!" said Luna as the two were now facing each other.

"We all love you very much, sis! I consider it a great honor that I get to share a room with you." said Luna as she wrapped Luan in a tight embrace.

"Thanks, sis. You have no idea how much it means to me that you feel that way. With your encouragement, I promise to never give up comedy again!" said Luan as she shed a few tears on her older sister's shoulder, reciprocating the hug.

"I love you so much, sis!" said Luan as the two broke the hug.

"I love you, too. Said Luna as she and Luan stood up, then Luan opened her bedding to lie down. Once Luan was in her bed, Luna placed the covers over her, then the two shared a good night kiss. Luna then climbed up to her bed.

"Good night, sis." said Luan as she turned out the light.

"Good night. Have funny dreams! Said Luna as she placed her headphones on, blaring Led Zeppelin tunes.
