Chapter Text
For as long as I have known her, Lucy seemed to have no emotions. Because I doubted that she'll ever fall in love with anyone. Granted, she has a "crush" on a fictional character, which is somewhat common, but I'm talking about a crush on a real person. But then, my doubts were dashed when...
[Later, Rusty and Lincoln are finishing their science project. Rocky is seen playing with his baseball. Lucy walks out of the kitchen and sees Rocky.]
Lucy: "Gasp!" [Becomes surprisingly infatuated with Rocky.] "Oh..." [Spills the molasses she is holding.]
[Lincoln, Rusty, and Rocky hear Lucy. However, she disappears, leaving footsteps of molasses leading into the living room.]
Lincoln: "What the...?"
Jackson: [Arrives] "How did this happen?" [The boys just shrug]
[Rocky is playing on his video game portable on the living room couch.]
Lucy:[Sticks her head out of the fireplace.]"Sigh."
[Rocky puts down the game portable upon hearing Lucy. However, Lucy disappears again and Rocky shrugs it off.]
Rocky: [Turns to Lincoln] "I gotta pee."
Lincoln: "Bathroom's upstairs and down the hall to the left." [As Rocky leaves, Jackson arrives with a tool kit]
Rusty: "What are you doing?"
Jackson: "I'm just gonna fix the basem*nt door." [Leaves]
Rusty: [Turns to Lincoln] "What's wrong with your basem*nt door?"
Lincoln: "It's been stiff for as long as anyone could remember."
[As Rocky goes to the bathroom, Lucy hangs upside down from the vent.]
Lucy:"Sigh."
[As Rocky turns around, Lucy has disappeared again.]
Rocky: [Confused] "Hello?"
[Outside, as Rocky plays soccer just to get his mind off what he experienced inside the house, Lucy sticks her head out of Charles' doghouse.]
Lucy:"Sigh."
[As Rocky turns around, Lucy disappeared again and Charles shows up instead as he drags his butt to leave.]
Jackson: [Arrives] "You okay?" [Rocky nods]
[It's revealed that Lucy is back in her room, looking outside the window.]
Lucy: "Sigh." [Cut to Lucy's bedroom] "I know he's not really my type. But he's so..." [Looks out of the window] "What's the word my sisters use? 'Cute'." [Carries Edwin] "Don't worry, Edwin. You'll always be my undead soulmate. But until we're united, it'd be cool to have someone to hang with in our respective worlds." [Edwin just sits there, but Lucy listens to what he could be saying] "You think I should just talk to him?" [Pats Edwin] "I knew you'd understand."
[In the kitchen, Rocky opens the refrigerator door. He spots Lucy's container of fake blood. From that, he takes it out of curiosity, before closing the refrigerator door, revealing Lucy.]
Lucy: "I see you found my blood." [Rocky gets startled, making him jump and throw the container. The fake blood splatters on him.] "It's my new recipe. Beet juice, molasses, and cocoa powder. Hmm." [Pulls Rocky's shirt.] "Now it's got the ooze, but not the splatter." [Holds out her hand.] "Hi, I'm Lucy."
Rocky: [Hesitantly] "R...Rocky."
[Rocky freezes for a moment, before running away out of fear, much to Lucy's disappointment. He later walks out of the bathroom, trying to wipe the fake blood off his shirt.]
Lucy: [Holding one of Lincoln's shirts on a hanger] "Thought you might want a clean shirt." [Rocky stops in surprise] "Just to be clear, it's my brother's." [Rocky backs away as she smiles a little] "I would never wear something so offensively cheerful."
Rocky: [Starts falling down the stairs with a thud] "Ah!" [Lucy frowns at this]
[Rocky gets up, uninjured yet scared, and runs out of the door. Lincoln, Jackson, and Rusty take a peek out of the dining room.]
Rusty: "Was that Rocky?"
Jackson: "Seems like it."
Rusty: "Sorry, Lincoln, you'll have to finish the project." [Opens and closes the door to go after his brother]
Lincoln: [Walks to Lucy, who is sitting on the couch] "What happened?"
Lucy: "I keep trying to talk to Rocky, but every time, he runs away from me." [Curls herself up] "What am I doing wrong?"
Lincoln:"Well, what are you talking to him about?"
Lucy: "The usual stuff. Blood, bruises." [Lucy's bats fly onto her head] "I didn't even get a chance to show him my new embalming kit." [Jackson facepalms]
Lincoln: "You know, maybe, he's just not into that kind of stuff."
Lucy:"Then, whatishe into?"
Lincoln: "I don't know him very well, but he just seems like a regular, normal kid."
Lucy: "Regular and normal. Hmm..." [Walks up the stairs with Jackson in tow] "Regular and normal."
[It is nighttime in the house, where Jackson is helping Lucy in preparing herself for another encounter with Rocky... while giving off a smug smile.]
Lucy: [Notices this] "Why are you smiling like that?"
Jackson: [Finishes something] "If I recall a certain situation involving you and Lynn, you said that instead of making up with her, you'd 'rather wear pink'."
Lucy: "Don't start." [Jackson chuckles as she grabs a perfume bottle] "Anyway, let me just apply this perfume." [Does so]
Lori: "Lola!" [Cut to the hallway] "Did you take my Red Riot lipstick again?!"
Lola: [Opens her bedroom door] "No, but someone took my perfume."
Lori: "Don't look at me. I have my own."
Lola: [Turns to the bathroom] "I bet it was Leni!"
Lori: [Turns to the bathroom] "Leni, were you in the twins' room at some point earlier?"
[The door to the bathroom opens, where Leni is seen inside.]
Leni: "Was not! I didn't take anything from anyone! But I'd like to know who took my pink chiffon dress, Lori!"
[Lori, Leni, and Lola start arguing.]
Leni:"Where do you get off?!"
Lori: "Me? You're literally the one always stretching out my sweaters every time you borrow them!"
Leni: "Just fess up!"
Lori: "You fess up!"
Lola: [Approaching them] "You dirty things! That's myscent!"
Lori:"We can do this the hard way, or-"
Leni:"Fess up!"
Lori: "I am not fessing up to anything!"
Lola: "I can't let people associate it with you!"
[A scent enters the hallway, and Lola smells it.]
Lola: [Turns around to stop the argument] "Hang on, I smell my perfume!" [Sniffs up the pink scent leading her to Lynn and Lucy's room.] "LYNN! You'd better not be using my perfume to cover the stink of your hockey pads!"
[The three sisters open the door, prepared to berate Lynn but gasp upon seeing what's really happening]
Leni: "Jackson?!"
Jackson: "Hey."
Lola: "What are you helping Lynn for?!"
Jackson: "Not Lynn." [Points to Lucy] "I'm helping Lucy."
[It pans to show Lucy using Lola's perfume, which she tries to hide, and wearing Lori's lipstick and Leni's dress.]
Lucy: "Uh..."
Lori: [She, Leni, and Lola become curious] "Lucy, what are you doing?"
Lucy: "I-I-I..." [Turns to Jackson] "Can you go first please?"
Jackson: [Shrugs] "Lucy has officially fallen head over heels for someone." [This surprises the three girls]
Leni: "Wh-Who is it?"
Jackson: "Rocky."
Lola: "Who's Rocky?"
Jackson: "Rusty's kid brother."
Lori: "Rusty? You mean, Rusty Spokes, that boy from Lincoln's school?" [Jackson nods] "He didn't mention having a kid brother."
Jackson: "Actually, Lincoln doesn't know much about him either. Earlier today, it was only their second encounter."
Leni: [To Lucy] "And you've become infatuated with him?"
Lucy: "Admittedly, yes. But my first encounter with him failed miserably. He seemed to have no interest in what I usually prefer. So... I thought if I could be more "regular and normal", according to Lincoln that is, Rusty's brother, Rocky, would like me." [Offers the perfume] "Sorry I took your stuff. I understand if you're mad."
Lori: [Stomps her feet in anger] "You're darn right we're mad!" [Lucy is down... but she and Lola give off smug smiles] "Mad you didn't let us help!" [This confuses Lucy and Jackson... and Leni]
Leni: "Huh?" [Realizes] "I mean...! Yeah, we've been wanting to give you a makeover since, like, birth!"
Lola: [Takes the perfume] "Give me a moment!" [Leaves]
Jackson: "You've been wanting to do something like this to Luce?"
Lori: "Of course! And when Lola started entering pageants, she joined me and Leni without a second thought."
Leni: "And before long, the rest of the girls came to us as well!"
Jackson: "Does Lincoln know?"
Lori: "Oh, he knows, but he's kind enough to let us handle it."
Lucy: "Oh, good grief."
Lola: "I'm back!" [Comes back in with a big cardboard collage of drawings of Lucy dressed up as fashion models] "I've been working on this Lucy vision board for only a couple of years! Until now, it was just a fantasy."
Lori: [Calls her other sisters] "GIRLS! IT'S LITERALLY HAPPENING!" [The others pop out of their rooms] "LUCY'S FINALLY READY!"
[The others excitedly get out their beauty gear.]
Lucy: "Will this hurt?" [Jackson just steps away]
Jackson: "It depends."
