It was a rather peaceful summer afternoon. Well, as peaceful as it could get when you're neighbor is the Loud Family. While they aren't necessarily bad people, they were unique compared to most other families. Instead of having one or two children, they have a total of fourteen-twelve girls and two boys. While their house is rather small and they bicker a lot like normal siblings, they each share a strong and loving bond that transcends any hardship thrown at them.

In the living room, eleven-year-old Lincoln Loud was reading his Ace Savvy comic on the couch, enjoying the slightly less loud atmosphere. Sure, he loves his siblings to pieces, but even he could use some peace and quiet every now and again. He was slightly disturbed when thirteen-year-old Lynn Loud Jr., the sports lover of the family, barged in, wearing a dirt covered football uniform.

"Hey, Linc" she greeted.

"Hey, Lynn. Another victory for the home team?" Lincoln asked, though he already knew the answer.

"You got that right! They were no match for Lynnsanity!" Lynn declared, proudly, earning a smirk from her brother. Lynn always thrived on winning and he doubt that would change, anytime soon.

"Well, I'm gonna hop in the shower. Enjoy your comic, Ace!" she added, leaving the room. Lincoln couldn't help but smile at that. Most of his sisters tended to tease him for his love of Ace Savvy, but he had managed to win them over with some contest won trophies and a few other minor details that really aren't important. That train of thought was destroyed when the oldest sibling, London, barged in, looking annoyed.

"Bura suto penshirupussha" she muttered, angrily.

"You okay, London?" Lincoln asked.

"No! I had to with a very Nervig desk worker, today. I barely kept myself from turning his head into a soup bowl" she replied. Lincoln winced, not really wanting something that graphic in his head. He's only eleven, after all. London plopped down onto the couch next to Lincoln with a tired sigh.

"I'm beat" she groaned. She then noticed Lincoln's comic.

"That a new issue?" she asked, curiously.

"Yeah! This is a new issue of the Full House Gang's adventure through the mysterious underground land of dinosaurs!" he replied, excitedly, bringing a fond smile to London's face. Then, Lynn Loud Sr. and Rita Loud entered the house.

"Hey, London, Lincoln. Is everyone else home? We have something important to tell you" Lynn Sr. said.

"Yeah, London is the last to come home" Lincoln replied.

"I'll call them" London said, pulling out a whistle. With a mighty breath, she blew on the whistle, causing all of the Loud siblings to stop what they were doing and rush to the living room.

"Good work, London" Lynn Sr. said.

"Wait, where's Lucy?" Rita asked, having done a head count.

"I'm right here" Lucy said, standing next to her parents. Her sudden appearance startled the two.

"Alright, we have some big news for all of you" Lynn Sr. said, recovering from the jumpscare.

"What is it? What is it?" Mabel asked, excitedly. Leni let out a gasp.

"Is mom pregnant, again?!" she exclaimed, earning confused looks from everyone and a pat on the head from London.

"Leni, that's literally not it. Mom can't have any more children, remember?" Lori said.

"Oh" Leni said, understanding what she meant.

"Did London's training break someone's spine, again?" Lola asked, bluntly.

"That was one time and because of faulty equipment!" London shouted, blushing heavily. Lori, Luan, and Luna couldn't help but snicker at this. This earned them a glare from her.

"That's not it, either, Lola. We had just come back from the real estate office" Lynn Sr. said. A few switches clicked in Dipper's head.

"Wait, you don't mean…" he said, hopefully, as everyone else began to connect the dots.

"That's right! We're finally moving out this ding dang house!" Lynn Sr. revealed, earning looks of joy from his children.

"Åh, tack den barmhärtig Guden!" London exclaimed.

"No more having to fight over who sleeps where" Lori said, wistfully.

"This is the best news we've ever heard, pop star!" Luna exclaimed.

"Glad to hear you all approve of this. We saw images of the house. It's much bigger than this one and plenty of room for all of us" Lynn Sr. explained.

"And it's in the town your father and I grew up and met, so we're pretty excited to visit our old stomping grounds" Rita added. The group began to eagerly chat among themselves before their father spoke up, again.

"Now, we'll be calling the moving van tomorrow, and everyone will be helping pack everything up. So, I suggest you all get a good night sleep, tonight" he said. With that, they left the fourteen alone.

"Can you guys believe it! We're moving into a bigger house!" Lily exclaimed.

"Indeed, tenth oldest sibling unit. We were long overdue to move out of this claustrophobic nightmare of a house" Lisa said.

"You know, children in most families would be upset about having to move away" Lincoln mused.

"True, but we're not like most families" Luna said.

"Yeah, just look back at that fiasco that is last summer at Gravity Falls" Lynn said, sending a shiver down their spines.

"I don't want to be reminded of that, Lynn" Dipper stated.

"Right, sorry, bro" Lynn apologised.

"Anyway, Lincoln does have a point. We'll be leaving the town we grew up in" London said.

"She's literally right. I better update all of my friends on this, right away" Lori said, texting away on her phone.

"Guess we should warn those jerk bullies at school, Linc" Lynn said, nudging Lincoln playfully.

"Assuming they can look at you without crying, that is" Lincoln said, smirking.

"Guys, focus! We're leaving tomorrow, so we whatever you need to do, do it today. We'll likely be busy packing up everything, tomorrow" London said. Everyone nodded and went their separate ways.

"I wonder what Royal Woods is like" Lily mused, eagerly. The day went by without incident and as everyone went to sleep, they all eagerly dreamt of their life in Royal Woods.


The next morning, the Loud family woke up bright and early. London, as usual, directed her siblings in packing up the furniture and had the most physically powerful siblings haul the heavy stuff to the moving van, first, than everything else. Once everything is loaded up, they headed to their new home. The siblings were surprisingly well behaved during the ride in Vanzilla, simply happily chatting amongst themselves about their new home. It actually allowed London the chance to doze off along the way. It was noon by the time they arrived at their new house.

The family gazed up at their new house, which was easily three times the size of their old house and had two stories.

"Wow, it's huge!" Lana exclaimed.

"You can say that, again" Lily commented.

"Indlu enhle" London muttered.

"Can't you simply just speak English?" Luna asked, a little annoyed.

"Can't you not speak in a British Accent?" London countered, smoothly.

"Touche" Luna said.

"Now, girls, no need to fight. This is a big new day for all of us. So, let's roll up our sleeves and move our stuff into our new house. We can decide who gets which room, afterwards" Lynn Sr. said. All fourteen siblings saluted like soldiers and went right to work. The heavy stuff went first, starting with the kitchen, then the living room, and finally the dining room. Once that was done, the siblings debated amongst themselves who will be sleeping in which room. With a little help from Lincoln and Lisa, there were able group everyone together: London, Lori, and Leni in one room, Luna and Luan in the next, then Lynn, Dipper, Mabel, and Lucy, Lily and Lisa next, then the twins. Surprisingly, Lincoln would be getting his own room, which was the old linen closet at the end of the hall, but he didn't mind. It wasn't long before they moved their stuff into their new rooms.


When everyone was moved in, Lynn Sr. and Rita decided to head for a bit to see how much their old home has changed since they've been gone. As usual, they left London in charge. After ten minutes, everyone gathered in London, Lori, and Leni's new room to have one of their famous Sibling Meetings.

"Alright, this Sibling Meeting is now called to order" Lori said, banging her shoe in a podium as a makeshift gabel. While London was technically the one in charge, she normally let Lori handle things in the meetings, only stepping in when necessary.

"Okay, people, it's finally happened: we're moved into a new house, that is bigger than that deathtrap" Lori said, happily. Everyone muttered their agreements.

"Now, I next logical step would be to get to know the town. We're total strangers, here, even if our parents grew up in this town" Lori continued.

"She's right, dude. We're fish out of water, here" Luna said. Luan was about to make a pun, but Lily stopped her by hitting her in the face with a pillow.

"Good thing it's summer. We have two and half months to make friends before school starts" Lincoln said.

Indeed. Especially if we locate the standard gathering place for the local adolescents" Lisa said, however, everyone just stared at her, confused. Lisa sighed.

"We find the town mall" she clarified.

"Right. And I'm mom and dad know where it is, having grew up here" London said.

"Oh, this so exciting. I hope there's a pet store" Lana stated, excited.

"Or a music shop!"

"Or a sports store"

"What about a comic store?!"

The siblings started getting a bit rowdy, their excitement and energy high with all these prospects. London, having grown used to this, blows an air horn to calm them down. As usual, it works.

"I know we're all excited for this, but it's getting late and we all need to get a good night's rest if we're going to explore the town, tomorrow" she said. As always, they listened to her. While they normally ted to do their own things, even in a group, London was always someone they listened to, without hesitation. They have been through quite a few ordeals together and respect London a great deal because of that. So, they all get up head to their new rooms.

"That was certainly a short meeting" Lori mused.

"There wasn't much to talk about, today" London said. Lori didn't miss the tone her sister's voice had.

"At least, nothing that didn't bring up bad memories" she said, knowingly. London flinched while Leni just stood off to the side, a concerned look directed towards London.

"Lori, you know I don't like talking about that part of my life. Just like how we don't bring up Gravity Falls. Especially the dark secrets we keep" London said, sternly.

"I know, sis, and I didn't mean to open up old wounds. But, you don't have to act so guarded around people" Lori said, gently.

"Heh, easy for you to say. You haven't walked a mile in my shoes" London said with a light smile.

"That won't stops us from caring, though" Lori said with a smirk. Leni then came up and hugged London.

"Like, yeah. You're our big sis and we look after you as much as you look after us" she said, surprising both girls with how profound that sounded. London couldn't help but smile.

"I made a lot of mistakes in my past, but I must be doing something right to have earned such a loving family" she said, returning the hug.

"Okay, enough with the sappy stuff. Let's hit the sack" she added, breaking the hug. With that, the three eldest sisters changed into their night clothes and went to bed.


Not much of a chapter, yes, but I don't mind.

Now, I feel the need to address this: London. As some of you know, many of you have called her a Mary sue for various, yet valid reasons. While I was tempted to simply spill everything, I decided to take a "show, don't tell" approach. Yes, London is flawed, and I'll be sure to show those flaws in future chapters.

Also, here's some info London, for those who are new to my stories:

London is 18 years old and the oldest of the Loud children. She has brown hair, which she keeps in a fancy low bun. Her outfit consist of a light grey long-sleeved shirt with blue jean pants and black combat boots. She wears a red scarf along with a darker red waist scarf and a large red ruby earring on her right ear.

Her thing in the family is she's a linguist and speaks Japanese, German, Swedish, Chinese, Zulu, Spanish, Chinese and French. She has a habit of switching languages when she speaks, especially when she's angry or upset. She also knows three Martial Arts: Krav Maga, Karate, and Judo.

Also, Mabel and Dipper are part of the Loud family, and the Loud siblings have been through the events Gravity Falls, which I alluded to, already, in the chapter. I have a plot idea for that.

And, finally, Lily is ten years old in this story. Mostly because because I seem to be against the idea of involving a baby in this story, for some weird reason. She's primarily a dancer with a tomboyish streak.

If I missed anything, let me know.
