Lori comes down the stairs to the living room of the large house she lived in, she heard the snow was supposed to reach five feet but it has surpassed that number. Coming down the stairs, each piece of wood creaked as she applied her weight to it. Lori only weighed 153 pounds yet she could easily make the boards flex underneath her if she tried. Despite the years of up and down walking the board held together.

Lori was still wearing her pajamas and slippers, she hadn't even put on her makeup yet she ventured down the stairs anyway. As she came down, she began to complain about the temperature of the house. "Ge-e-e-z! Wh-wh-y is-s-s i-t-tt so cold-d?" She said shivering violently. The chattering of her teeth was so loud it was audible from the couch. She walks over to the thermostat, '54°F' it read. "Brrr."

Lori begins to turn the knob on the thermostat to activate the heater built into the house. Soon noises begin emerging from down in the basement and sounds of air rushing through vents travels through the walls. She then walks over to the couch and wraps the blanket around her body for some more heat. Her body shivered as she wrapped the thick warm blanket around her. Lori, despite having the heat on and a blanket on a warm couch was still shaking. "Why can't i-it be summer?" She asked herself in grief.

Lori was one of those young adults that loved the feeling of the sand and heat on her skin. Lori's first trip to any kind of a beach was when the family only had three kids and traveled south to Florida for summer break. It was a long and joyful two week stay in Tampa Bay. Ever since then she has wanted to stay there and call it home. Lori soon grew tired of the harsh cold winters in Michigan.

Lori's phone begins to ring while in her lap. Trying her best to stay within the protection of the blanket, she begins to fumble for the phone before she brings it up to her cheek. "Hello?" she asks with curiosity.

"Hey babe!"

"There's my Bo-Bo Bear, bout time you called!"

"Sorry I was just taking a quick power nap."

"Aw it's alright, I forgive you."

"Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Sitting here, getting cold, trying to stay warm."

"Hey you need some warmth? Cause I can sure warm you up if you need me to."

"Hehehehe."

"But honestly if you need me I will be there, got it?"

"Got it!"

"Alright talk to you later!"

"Bye."

Talking to Bobby for a couple seconds gave Lori a little more warmth, yet she still could feel the cold beyond the blanket. She then closes her eyes to try and keep from using her energy in case if it is needed later, yet she wont have them closed for long. Not long after laying back on the couch, footsteps begin to become audible from upstairs. Lori's eyes shoot open to the sounds and she swings her head in the direction of the stairway.

The footsteps were slow and light, whoever it was wasn't in a hurry. They krept closer to the stairway, in a rhythm like pace, 'bum… bum… bum…' Now the sounds were coming from the stairs with the creaking of the boards also in play. Some legs slowly began to come into view, then the waist, arms, and finally the face of the person. Lincoln was now in full view of Lori, who was still on the couch, yet Lincoln doesn't see her. Despite the Loud House residence being 54 degrees in temperature, Lincoln was draining sweat.

"Hey tw-"

"AHH!"

Lincoln quite literally jumps from the jumpscare, his eyes go from being mostly closed to wide open in less than a second, his heart pounding in his chest. Lincoln's eyes seemed like they were about to pop out of his head. His breathing became fast and short. Lori immediately stops speaking realising her brother hadn't noticed her. Lincoln soon starts to calm down, his breathing slows and his stance a bit less jumpy.

"Ok, ok, ok," Lincoln tries to soothe himself by practically talking to himself. "I'm alright, I'm alright." He finally gives off a sigh of relief for nothing had hurt him, and it was only his sister speaking to him.

"You alright now Linc?" Lori asks.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine."

"Well I was gonna ask what you were doing, but…"

"I'm just trying to get some cold water."

"Cold water?"

"Yeah, I'm burning up in this house."

"What!"

"What?"

"How? It's like literally fifty four degrees!"

"Remember for me any temperature above fifty is hot."

"Geez Lincoln."

"What?"

"You're something else you know that?"

"Well of course I mean I'm the ONLY boy out of the eleven people here, not including Mom and Dad."
