Lori Loud was sitting on her bed,texting away at her boyfriend, who lived in a completely different state but they still maintained a strong long distance relationship thanks to frequent texting sessions, video chats and face one day, Lori was detailing her day at school to Bobby, going over the minutiae of everyday school life. Homework, tests,interactions with other friends at school, amusing anecdotes, her texts had it all. She frequently used hip lingo, acronyms, and abbreviations like any teenager would on their mobile device and she was glued to it.

At that time, it was a way for her to unwind. Everyone else outside of her sister Leni was not allowed in her room at that time, her "Bobby time" as she would call it, and it was her time to talk to the one soul outside of her family that loved her for the woman she really was, warts and all. She wouldn't be candid about stuff, talking about anything and everything, as they were at a point in their relationship where they shared everything,even the super personal junk.

She was just about to get into how the lunch she had "literally wreaked havoc on [her] stomach" until her sister Leni entered. It took her a bit of time for her to try and remember the password that Lori had for her security system to her room. Because Lori's next eldest sibling was a little dim, she had a tough time with numbers, even though her code was only 4 digits. Fora while, she had a simpler combination of few numbers making it easier for her sister to remember, but that was easy for her other siblings to guess, especially since her nine other siblings were heavily involved in each other's lives, sometimes even their personal ones for the older sisters.

"Uh, finally," Leni said with a big smile after finally cracking the code. She then proceeded to walkover to her bed which was located beside her elder sister's. Lori kept texting away as Leni stared at her sister, wanting to grab her attention somehow but unsure of how to achieve it. She knew she did not want to disturb her during her private time with Bobby but she had an issue that on her mind. You see, something happened on that seemingly routine school day that Leni was not sure how to process and since she often came to her sisters for advice, especially her older one, then she felt it was necessary to let her know.

Lori's manic fingers were zooming between the small keys on her cell phone, forming words at a seemingly superhuman level. Leni gulped and wondered what would happen if she disrupted her, especially since she oftentimes just left Lori to her own devices, pun intended, and finish up what she was doing before going on to Leni's problems, but this once she thought that her time with Bobby could wait. Her sisters were teaching her to be less passive after all.

"Uh, Lori..." she said. There was no answer. "Lori," her tone was still meek and quiet and not demanding at all. She wasn't even all that sure if Lori actually heard her. "Lori, I need your help." Stoic as a statue. "LORI!"she screamed in a surprising bit of unbridled rage that shocked even her.

Her older sister stopped texting, her fingers no longer a blur. She had a stern expression on her face,slowly turning her head to her right to face her sister.

"What..." she sternly expressed,"Why did you literally disrupt my Bobby time?"

"Oh sorry, Lori," she said on the verge of tears, "I just needed your advice on something that happened at school."

"What is it?" her anger slightly melted because of Leni's innocence, knowing that she probably did not disrupt her time with Bobby on purpose.

"Uh... well... you see, uh..."Leni was a little nervous, wondering if her situation would cause her sister to remain angry or not. Eventually, she just said it. "Lori,a boy asked me out."

Then her sister's anger vanished. Her negative facial expression slowly turned into a positive one; a frown into a smile, one that reached from ear to ear, followed by a screech for joy.

"Oh my Gosh, Leni," she said gleefully, "why did you just say that? That is so great!"

"Yeah, thank you," Leni expressed.

Lori quickly went on her phone and texted "G2G, Bobby" on her phone, realizing that Leni's situation outranked her time with her boyfriend. She then put her phone on the nightstand and immediately rushed over to Leni, grinning like a housecat.

"I can't believe that you finally are going on a date!" she said gleefully. Just then two heads popped out from the door-frame, clearly overhearing Leni having a date.

"Date?" They both said, rushing over to the beds where Leni and Lori were. It was their sisters, Luan and Luna. They were the next oldest after Leni and Lori and the only sisters in the Loud house that was interested in dating.

"Tell us all the det's, man!"Luna, the more musically-inclined sister, said.

"Well, I..." Leni began, but was quickly interrupted.

"No! Don't tell us! Let's try and guess who asked you out," Lori suggested. The sisters then started to rack their brains about who the mystery beau would be. "I mean it could be anyone. Look at how many bouquets Leni has gotten." The sisters then looked around the room at what had to have been at least two dozen vases filled with every kind of flower imaginable, all from mysterious guys as a way to try and woo Leni, usually left at the Loud residence's doorstep with notes and sometimes chocolates. It was getting to the point of where Lori and Leni could barely water them at a regular basis. Lori sometimes suggests getting rid of the flowers, but Leni always shoots down the idea, saying that the reason for keeping them is the thoughtfulness of the boys who sent them.

"I know!" Luan, the resident comedienne of the family, said, "It has got to be Darrell. He is really funny, and pretty easy on the eyes too!" Leni was reminded of Darrell from Social Studies class. Yes he was handsome, but she was not a fan of how he dressed personally. Still, he always said 'hello' to her whenever their paths would cross walking down the hallways at school.

"Good guess, Luan. But no." Leni told her.

"No way, dude!" Luna retorted, "clearly it is Robert. He is way hot, and he writes his own music." Like Darrell, Leni did remember having a good relationship with Robert too even though like Darrell they were just acquaintances. She did mutually admire the colour of his guitar whenever he would bring it to school, usually to impress ladies, which would be almost every school day.

"Yeah Robert is pretty cute, but it's not him." Leni wondered if her sisters would be able to guess who actually asked her out, but figured that they would because she knew her sisters were far smarter than she was."

"Obviously not, girls." Lori stated in a matter-of-fact voice that she gained from being the authoritative leader of her siblings, "it has to be Tobias. I mean,he clearly has had a crush on Leni ever since he moved here from Canada." She remembered when Tobias moved in. She liked him then and still kinda liked him now, but the sisters had a somewhat negative opinion on him because he had been known to stare at Leni whenever they shared classes together, sometimes even drooling, which all the sisters agreed was very unattractive. He was also the first boy to send an anonymous bouquet to the Loud house. Come to think of it, it was entirely possible that all the bouquets might have been from him, even though most of them appeared to have different handwriting and were signed by different people.

"I... don't think it was him." Leni said, all while trying to not say anything hurtful towards him,while at the same time not really sure what she was saying 100%.

"Well, then who is it?" Lori asked.

"It was... it was Chaz."

"Chaz?!" Lori, Luna and Luan said in unison. Leni shook her head.

"You mean the same Chaz we hang outwith?" Lori asked.

"Yeah. It happened the other day,you know."

After a little silence, Lori then exhibited the same grin she had prior. She then squealed like a fangirl and Luna and Luan followed suit.

"This is literally so sweet!" she said.

"Yeah, dude." Luna replied, "I mean he wouldn't be my first choice, but still you're gonna be on a date, man! That's excitin'!"

"I know," Leni said, "the other day I was at my locker getting my books for the next class when he walked up. He looked nervous but he eventually asked me out and I said yes, and then we organized a date, and well... here we are."

"Wow. I mean, we've known Chaz for such a long time and stuff, I had no clue he had those feelings towards you." Lori was a little surprised about this revelation,she wouldn't lie.

"Yeah but even so man," Luna interjected, "isn't Chaz kinda... you know... husky?"

"Luna!" Lori yelled. "that's a little rude." Luna had a more somewhat superficial view of love.

"Well..." Leni said, "yeah there is a bit more to him than the average guy, but I like him as a person, you know." Leni had gotten to know him more than almost any guy at her school because of the mutual group of friends that Lori and Leni shared. They even started a texting chain where they would frequently text each other. Leni should've been a little more obversant of the flirtatious attitude that Chaz had on there as of late, but she just thought it was harmless smalltalk.

"Yeah you're right, man." Luna said, "sorry there, dude."

"Oh, I accept your apology," Leni said with a big smile.

"When's your date?" Luan asked.

"It's actually tonight. I just kinda forgot to mention it to you guys until now."

"Please tell me you have picked out a dress." Lori wanted to make sure her younger sister looked great for the date.

"Well, actually I wasn't sure, you know."

"You what?" Lori and the girls then walked over the closet where the girls kept their clothes (most of the time) and looked at the selection of dresses that the two , since Lori and Leni had similar dress sizes, they would mix and match from each other's dresses, though they don't do that often anymore.

"Well which dress did you want to wear?" Lori asked.

"Uh..." Leni was still unsure, looking at the giant collage of many colours, until it looked like a hazy abstraction, making this usually dim girl a little more dim.

"I know what you should wear, man."Luna then picked out a black dress from near the back of the line-up. It was rather revealing and low-cut, and Leni did not really wear it all that much. She wasn't even sure why she bought it. "Trust me, guys go crazy when they see girls they like in dresses like this."

Leni was considering her sister's advice, but ultimately decided to turn it down.

"That's a good idea, Luna, but I think I would like to go with this one." Leni then picked a dress from the middle of the pile. It was green, sleeveless, wasn't low-cut and the skirt that reached down to her ankles.

"That one?" Luan asked.

"Uh-huh."

"It's a little modest." Luna said.

"Yeah, but I think Chaz will really like it."

"If she thinks it's the one, then it's literally the one!" Lori said. "Leni, we need to get you ready for your big night!"

Leni was smiling all throughout her getting ready for her date, though she also had a sting of nervousness going into it, not being on a date in a while and not exactly being good at remembering parts of the etiquette of courtship, but another part of her was excited at what this could potentially become, that is if she doesn't foul it up.
