For the fifth time that week, Lisa got grounded. Again. The first time, it really wasn't her fault. How was she supposed to know that the pig she kept for experiments (that Lana dubbed tickles) would eat Lori's secret stash of candy. Or that her hair growing solution would actually get rid of hair (she found that out the hard way when Lola applied a generous amount of it). Or the other the 3 times her experiments messed up, which she was still not ready to talk about.
But this time, it was Lynn and Leni's fault. She had just invented a new portal that she invented (that was destroyed by her after the last attempt went haywire and sucked the whole house to a dimension made of candy). She was carrying the invention down the hallway, hoping she could hitch a ride from Lori who was about to go to the mall, for the science contest happening there.
She was almost to the stairs, when Lynn came barreling out of nowhere, knocking the small invention from her hand. It fell to the floor-unharmed. Lisa walked towards it, grateful it wasn't broken. At the exact moment, Leni decided to walk out of her room. Lisa froze in fear and held her breath as Leni walk towards the device. Lisa prayed she wouldn't notice it. She did. "Ohh, look a button Leni said excitedly. Then she pressed it.
A large swirling colorful vortex appeared inside the hallway. Lisa ran towards the device, determined to shut it off-, when Lincoln walked out of his room in his undies, reading a comic and stepped right into it. He fell the rest of the way into the portal face down, screaming. Lisa slapped her forehead. Sometimes, Lincoln could be even dumber than Leni.
Speaking of Leni, she was texting on her phone, completely unaware of what just occurred. The rest of her siblings burst into the hall, having heard Lincoln scream. They all noticed the portal,and gathered around it. Leni squealed, looking at her phone in excitement. And then she dropped it. It seemed to fall in slow motion, time getting even slower as it dropped towards the portal. Leni fell forward to grab it and missed. And fell on her face. And the device. She got up, brushing of the remains of the device.
She held up her phone triumphantly. For the second time in 1 minute, Lisa slapped her forehead. The parents, having seen the whole thing, asked the question everybody but Lisa was thinking. "Where's Lincoln, Mom asked. Lisa pointed at the remains of the portal. Lisa knew it before the words even left her moms mouth. "You, are so grounded".
