It opens with Fic!Lucy watching Princess Pony (which the story calls "Pony Princess") on TV in her pony pyjamas. Lucy corrects the name and is a bit annoyed at another fanfic referencing Princess Pony. Her siblings are away watching one of Fic!Lynn's games and Fic!Lucy lied that she was going to stay with Fic!Haiku, but then Fic!Lincoln comes back and sees her in a "pony costume". Luna points out that pony pyjamas and a pony costume are quite different.

Fic!Lucy reveals to Fic!Lincoln that she watches Princess Pony in her pony pyjamas on her "break". This confuses the real siblings, since Lucy's break seems like her break from the darkness, but Lincoln already knows about that. Fic!Lucy is worried about being mocked for liking "girls' stuff" (even though she ''is'' a girl), but Fic!Lincoln points out that Fic!Lana isn't mocked for being a "tomboy". Luna points out the double standard that women and girls are allowed to bend gender stereotypes without being mocked more often than men and boys, and then we get an adult joke from her when she says, "I know I do" after Grammy asks if the author hates periods.

Fic!Lincoln goes to the game but won't stop chuckling. Lucy asks if it's really that funny and Lola says that if Fic!Lucy was wearing pyjamas with ponies on them, then no, but if she was wearing a pony ''costume'', then yes, it would be funny and they would indeed tease.

The twins ask Fic!Lincoln what's so funny, and he admits that it's Fic!Lucy's clothes. Luna points out that if that were to happen, the twins would pester him for info about the clothes. Sure enough, they (and Fic!Leni) start to pester him and wonder if it's her vampire costume or her skeleton costume, even though despite Lucy's love for Halloween, it's not actually Halloween.

Fic!Lola then guesses the secret as she owns pony pyjamas and Fic!Lucy is close to her in size (even though Fic!Lola doesn't know that Fic!Lucy likes ponies, the real Lola doesn't own pony pyjamas, and the real Lucy doesn't borrow things without asking). Then, Fic!Leni randomly guesses that Fic!Lucy watches a "girl show". So Fic!Lincoln spills the beans and someone, confusingly, says, "Yay!". Fic!Lincoln tells them to let it go and Lana points out that the rule is the siblings are allowed a week of teasing (or a month in the case of the twins).

The sisters say that they will not let it go as it is "wrong" to have an unpopular opinion. The real siblings disagree and talk about their own unpopular opinions, but cringe when Lana reveals she likes anchovies on pizza. Fic!Lincoln pleads them not to tell anyone, but they insist on telling Fic!Lucy's friends.

The next day, Fic!Lynn reveals that the whole elementary school knows the secret. Fic!Haiku ends their friendship (which Lucy points out would be hypocritical since the real Haiku watches a "baby show" called "Frank the Foreman".) Fic!Lucy, mortified, hides in her locker and Fic!Lincoln feels guilty and apologises, but Fic!Lucy doesn't believe him.

Fic!Lincoln tries to earn her forgiveness with chocolates and working for her but she refuses (and apparently hates chocolate). She then tells him to prove he is sorry by humiliating himself in front of the whole town, which the real Lucy takes issue with: she knows Lincoln wouldn't be so mean, and forgiveness isn't something you earn by punishing yourself. Fic!Lucy then tells her brother how to do that: by wearing her pony pyjamas (even though they wouldn't fit him).

She sets up a red carpet for everyone to watch, and the real Lucy reveals that while she did appreciate what Lincoln did to make up for embarrassing his sisters in the episode "Making the Case", that doesn't mean she'd like to see him suffer. The story then ''ends with Fic!Lincoln being mad at Fic!Lucy and her crying''.

Added DiffLines:

We're back on the couch and Lincoln has brought along Luna, Lucy, and the twins. They will be reading an anonymously-submitted story called... uh-oh... ''Lincoln Betrays Lucy''.

It opens with Fic!Lucy watching Princess Pony (which the story calls "Pony Princess") on TV in her pony pyjamas. Lucy corrects the name and is a bit annoyed at another fanfic referencing Princess Pony. Her siblings are away watching one of Fic!Lynn's games and Fic!Lucy lied that she was going to stay with Fic!Haiku, but then Fic!Lincoln comes back and sees her in a "pony costume". Luna points out that pony pyjamas and a pony costume are quite different.

Fic!Lucy reveals to Fic!Lincoln that she watches Princess Pony in her pony pyjamas on her "break". This confuses the real siblings, since Lucy's break seems like her break from the darkness, but Lincoln already knows about that. Fic!Lucy is worried about being mocked for liking "girls' stuff" (even though she ''is'' a girl), but Fic!Lincoln points out that Fic!Lana isn't mocked for being a "tomboy". Luna points out the double standard that women and girls are allowed to bend gender stereotypes without being mocked more often than men and boys, and then we get an adult joke from her when she says, "I know I do" after Grammy asks if the author hates periods.

Fic!Lincoln goes to the game but won't stop chuckling. Lucy asks if it's really that funny and Lola says that if Fic!Lucy was wearing pyjamas with ponies on them, then no, but if she was wearing a pony ''costume'', then yes, it would be funny and they would indeed tease.

Then, Fic!Leni randomly guesses that Fic!Lucy watches a "girl show". So Fic!Lincoln spills the beans and someone, confusingly, says, "Yay!".

The story then ''ends with Fic!Lincoln being mad at Fic!Lucy and her crying''.

The real Louds understandably think the story is miserable and feel dirty. The kids then read that it's a parody of "the infamous ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' episode", but that does not make it any better.
