On a rainy day in Royal Woods, Michigan, the Louds are in there own errands for the day. Luan takes Lily for her latest birthday party gig as her infant assistant. Luna is performing at a café. Lisa is currently doing a keynote presentation in a Silicon Valley institution. Lana is on a camping trip with her dad. As for the rest, they are perfectly nestled in their own house. Lori is texting on the recliner. Lucy is reading another gothic book. But for some reason, Lincoln, Lynn and Lola are seated on the couch, stiff, motionless and blank. It is as if they were grounded or something. But that will soon come to fruition later.

"Shouldn't have said 'no' to Lana to come with her on the camping trip with dad. Bet she's having fun in the mud," Lola utters her presumption. In reality, Lana is resting inside her tent, recovering from colds from the rain, while Mr. Loud is tending to her care.

Suddenly, the doorbell rings repeated in hasty motion, as if someone is banging on the button.

"I'll get it," Lincoln says.

"No, I'll get it. You stay in the couch where you literally belong," Lori utters gravely as she marches to answer the door. As she opens, Lori sees Clyde holding a blown umbrella.

"Lori?!" Clyde utters. Standing a Lori's presence, the 11-year-old pulls out two pieces of tissue and plugs it to his nose. "Got that covered."

"What do you want Clyde?" Lori asks.

"No, not what I want, but what she needs," Clyde points to a soaked Leni, who tries to cling to her raincoat as the stormy winds sweep, and attempts to hold her tears failingly.

"Leni, what happened?" Lori asks in deep concern, and then takes her inside for warmth.

Seeing their sister soaked in rainwater, the Loud sisters (sans Lynn and Lola, who was stopped by Lisa) race to get a blanket and a hot cocoa.

"Oh thanks sisses, glad you made Leni warm again," Leni expresses her gratitude.

"I thought you were supposed to be on your date," Luna raises.

"I am. But my date didn't show up," Leni reveals in dismay, to the total shock of the siblings. "I know. Username hughnotgrant said he is free today, but I guess he is for sale. He might had sale away." Leni then mopes at this realization.

"That's a good one, Leni. Hahaha," Luan reacts to Leni's unintentional pun, much to the annoyance of her sisters. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Leni forgives Luan.

"Then why are you wet from the rain?" Lola inquires of her sister.

"She told me she waited for her blind date by the bus stop. But when it took her almost three hours, here she is now," Clyde shares.

"But why not wait for a bus and get home?" Lincoln brings up a concern. "You could have got sick or something. What were you even doing in the rain?"

Leni can only respond in jitter in slight embarrassment, recalling what she did that caused her to get soaked under the rain.

Flashback

After Leni waited for her date ever since 3:00 PM (making her presume that she is waiting for 3 hours), rain poured to the city. Since her excitement got her out of the way, she decides to get home in dismay. Leni was truly looking forward for this date, as it was supposed to be the first time she had a blind date. She insisted on the guy to watch a musical, to which the guy responds with a resounding "yes". Thus, it is pretty much explainable why Leni would be disappointed on this. But along the way, she throws her tantrums and bursts her feelings through song.

"I am singing in the rain. I am singing in the rain. I am really really singing in the rain," Leni bellows through melody in a rather silly manner and in tap dance-ish choreography. "Here's to the fools who dream. Foolish as I may seem." She would dance and sing in the puddle like a little kid.

But, in sheer coincidence, Clyde is able to encounter her and wonders why Leni is acting crazily.

"Leni?" he utters in disbelief, which leads him to pull her out of the rain and under his umbrella, which got withered as they walk back home.

End of Flashback

"There's no point on looking back at it," Leni sighs in hopelessness.

"It's okay, Leni. There will be a next time. I promise," Lincoln assures, trying to comfort his sister.

"Well, I guess it's me, myself and eye to watch the musical tonight," Leni sighs at this truth."

What musical?" Lucy asks."I think it is Grease. But I don't know if it is good or not 'cause it's grease."

"Oh. Adored the theater but I despise musicals," Lisa utters.

"Then how will you explain you watching Frozen? Or Beauty and the Beast?" Lana asks.

"I watched them with audience discretion and study," Lisa clarifies, "Also, I don't hate Frozen. I loathe it."

"Well, how can you literally watch your musical when it is raining cats and dogs outside?" Lori rings up her point.

"It's raining cats and dogs?!" Leni shrieks in misunderstanding.

"No Leni, it's not literally raining cats and dogs," Lori corrects her sister, "I am just asking that with a storm like this, and you soaked in rain, how can you watch a musical under this weather?"

And just as Lori reiterates her point, the rain suddenly stops and a clear night has fallen.

"That's kind of a miracle," Lincoln utters.

"Well, on my own to watch then," Leni concludes.

Then Lola right off approaches Leni and addresses something, "But Leni, since you have two tickets, and you're just gonna use one, might you wanna take someone with you, so the ticket cannot be wasted? Might you say me?"

But Lynn stops her by pushing her face away from Leni, getting the same idea as Lola's, "Nope Leni! Lola is inadequate to watch a musical."

"But I thought you hate musicals?" Leni asks for clarification.

"No, no," Lynn outright denies while she stops Lola at force, "I love musicals. I love…The Sound of Basketballs. Hehe."

Then Lincoln overpowers them and convinces Leni to bring him instead, "No, Leni. How about me? We're buddies, remember? You make me as your sewing assistant. I help you in your woodcarving. I even learn how to speak Leni from you. How about me instead?"

Sooner, Lola and Lynn take a notice at Lincoln competing against them. "Hey Lincoln, stop!" they coax him and make him join in the scuffle, creating a fight cloud.

Oblivious at what they are fighting against, Leni just reaches the ticket upon them. "Well, you guys should talk it out who gets to take the ticket," she suggests.

But Lori quickly stops her from such action. "Oh no, Leni. You don't wanna to literally do that," she says.

"Why not?" Leni replies.

"These three just want to get out from being grounded," Lori says, "And they better behave or they are literally getting it." After that, the elder Loud sister grabs Lincoln, Lynn and Lola by the collar of their shirts to stop them from their scuffle.

"But we're not, Lori. Promise," Lincoln says in their defense.

"Oh, don't go into your secret agendas, Lincoln. I know what your plan is, and you'll never literally dupe me this time," Lori retorts assertively, "Do you think you can just get away being grounded for pranking me?"

But Lincoln keeps intact of defending their case, "First of all, Lori, we apologized to you. Mom even heard me…or us. Second, I mean it shouldn't be a big deal." However, Lori frowns on this with a mean glare.

"How about if Clyde takes the ticket?" Lori proposes, "Wouldn't you, Clyde?"

"Me? Lori?" Clyde whimpers, triggering for him to nosebleed like a soda can that faints him. But the Louds just leave that off, since Clyde nosebleeding in front of them is pretty much normalcy for them, and they are aware he will get up eventually.

Lincoln then continues his defense, "Come on. And thirdly, this is not for us. Leni is alone and hopeless that her date didn't showed up. Might we give it a shot to accompany her?"

"Yeah Lori, give us a chance. We just want to help our dear sister and cheer her up," Lola agrees.

"And promise Lori, we won't get under your nerves, and you'll never hear from us pranking you ever again. Pinky swear," Lynn defends alongside them.

"They sound fair," Leni comments, "Should I give this to them?" Hearing her sister's suggestion, Lori does not take qualms on giving a chance to the three siblings who pranked her at the supermarket. But she then notices the helpless pleads from them – the cutesy pout face with the puppy-dog eyes.

"Fine," Lori declares, making Lincoln, Lynn and Lola cheer for joy, "Hold on. But you need to compete for this."

"Good! I'm good in competition!" Lynn utters.

But Lori clarifies, "Nah-ah. In a competition that you guys are not good at."

At that suggestion, the three whine about it.

"How's that even possible? How can we compete in something we're not good at?" Lola complains.

"So, to be fair for the three of you," Lori emphasizes. "Now, I just need to think of what contest I can give you guys."

Suddenly, Lucy appears behind her, seemingly gauging interest at the situation. "Mind if I suggest?" she opens up, shocking Lori at the instant.

"Will you stop doing that, Lucy?" Lori reacts, "And why won't you accompany Leni?"

"Silence is the orchestra that soothes me," Lucy

"Okay, what is it you have in mind?"

"How about we make them do an essay writing contest?" Lucy suggests.

But hearing her propose such a daunting task makes the three try to stop her. "No, Lucy, No! Anything but that!" they collectively persuade her.

"Hmmm you literally make a good thought," Lori responds, "So, it's an essay contest then."

"What?!" the three protest.

"Hey, you want this ticket? You better agree on this. Make a story essay on where Leni is the hero. What do you say…Leni?"

"Well, I like to listen to stories about Leni as the hero," Leni says, "Let's give it a try."

"Heard what she just said? An essay contest it is. Lucy here will be the literary checker/commentator, but Leni will be the final judge. She will decide which story is the best. And the one who has the best story will accompany Leni to atch Grease. What'd you say? Literally on this?"

While Lynn and Lola grumble on this prospect, Lincoln gets motivated since he is much of a story lover than the two. "Alright! Let's do this!" he excitingly utters.

For that within an hour, Lincoln, Lynn and Lola take time to write down their own story essay for Leni. Each of them is determined to overawe the other with their creative juices. Lynn and Lola do not have much creative writing exposure; so, it is no surprise that Lincoln is the one who finished first.

"Done!" Lincoln exclaims. Then for the next 15 minutes, Lola and Lynn follow along and slam their pen and paper on the table.

"Good, now let's hear your stories. Who gets to go first?" Lori initiates.

"I! I! I will go first!" Lincoln exclaims.

"Uhmm isn't literally the rule ladies first?"

"No, it's okay. I wanna hear Lincoln's story," Leni persists.

With that, Lincoln introduces his story in an overly elegant manner, "Good. Now, hear me on this Leni. Here's a story of a dreamer, you, who wishes to be the most glamorous star in Tinseltown. And there, she meets a charming, aspiring musician who changed her life and gave her a new view on her dreams. But as their love grew, will their dreams pull them apart? I give to you this girl's journey, 'La La Leni'…"
