After Lisa had finished speaking, commotion had roared through the room once more, becoming a jumbled, incomprehensible mess of voices.

'I'll wait until things quiet down before going into further detail.' thought Lisa as she watched the others continue to shout at both her and each other.

Once things had settled down minutes later, Lynn turns to face Lisa and asks "So lemme see if I got this right - you want to send Lincoln somewhere foreign? Like 'out of the United States' foreign?"

"That would be correct. Think about it, Lynn - if Lincoln is literally thousands of miles away, then surely his 'bad luck' couldn't affect you or your games from such a distance, correct?"

A small grin started to form on Lynn's face as she thought over the idea. Sure, she wouldn't be able to get revenge on Lincoln for ruining her game, but having him sent away much further that she had originally planned along with the many trophies she would win during his absence would be a passable substitute.

"And that's not all - not only will his bad luck be away from the rest of us, but it also means one less person to compete with in the household as well."

Quickly realizing what this meant, Lola asks "Wait...so that means one less person to fight with over the TV or the sweet spot?" as a grin slowly started to form on her face.

"One less person to drive around? And no more trips to buy him any more comic books?" questioned Lori, catching on as well.

"And we like, won't have as much competition when it comes to using the bathroom in the morning either?" added Leni with a smile.

Lisa nods once more, causing the three blondes to start chattering excitedly with each other over what she had proposed - despite the fact that they all loved their brother very much, they still had a bit of selfishness in them as well.

Something that Lisa had carefully played to with her words.

While this was going on, the others narrowed their eyes as they watched the second-youngest member of the family very carefully. She was up to something, but they didn't know what it was.

Once the chattering had died down, Luna crosses her arms and asks "So, Lisa...mind sharing with us exactly 'where' you want to send Lincoln? You didn't exactly share that fact with us, y'know."

"Yeah! We wanna know where you're gonna send him!" added Lana as she pointed at hey younger sister accusingly, prompting everyone to face the little genius, waiting for an answer.

They didn't have to wait very long for one.

"I was wondering when someone would ask me that." replied Lisa, adjusting her glasses with a smirk. "If you really must know, I happen to have a friend - a fellow scientist like myself by the name of Professor Oak - that's looking for people to help him with his research. My intentions are to send Lincoln there to assist him."

Inwardly, she added 'And if things end up going well, he'll be assisting me with my research, too...'

"And just where does this 'friend' of yours live, hmm? inquired Luan suspiciously, wanting further details. "What does he study?"

"If I recall correctly, the island he lives on is located somewhere near Japan. As for his studies, they have to do with the local wildlife residing there." replied Lisa bluntly, showing no signs of deceit in her words. After all, what she claimed was technically the truth.

"So he's like a zoologist or something?" asked Lana with interest - despite her suspicions about Lisa's plan, she did like the idea of studying animals.

"You can say that." replied Lisa before muttering "Though what he studies aren't your average run-of-the-mill animals..." under her breath.

Before anyone else could raise any further questions, Lynn Sr. points at the stairs and says "Girls, this meeting is over - you can go ahead and return back to your rooms now.", only to stop his second-youngest daughter from leaving. "Not you, Lisa - we need to have a word with you."

While Lola, Leni and Lori easily complied with the order, the others reluctantly started making their way to the stairway, though they had given Lisa one last suspicious glance before heading upstairs.

Once the others had left the living room, Lynn Sr. gives Lisa a stern look and adds "I don't know what it is you're up to, but we're not just going to send Lincoln to stay with some stranger based on your word alone."

Nodding in agreement, Rita adds "I have to agree with your father on this one. How can we trust this professor friend of yours to look after your brother if we don't even know him?"

Much to their surprise, Lisa didn't complain or object to their words. Instead she simply said "I understand your concerns, which is why I happen to have a solution that will handle any issues you may have with my proposition - I'll arrange a meeting between the two of you and Professor Oak tonight so you can see what kind of person he is for yourself."

Blinking in surprise, Lynn Sr. asks "A meeting with him...tonight? But isn't he in another country?"

Instead of answering his question, Lisa simply replies "My room in exactly 30 minutes. Don't be late." before heading up the stairs, leaving her perplexed parents behind.

-Thirty Minutes Later-

Inside her room, Lisa was seated at her desk reading one of her many books on physics until the sound of someone knocking on her door caught her attention. Placing her book down, she walks over to the door and answers it, finding her parents waiting in the hallway.

"We're here just like you requested, Lisa. May we come in?" said Rita, with the four year-old nodding in response before stepping aside to let her and Lynn Sr. enter the room.

"So...this Professor Oak - how are we going to talk with him?" asked Lynn Sr. curiously as he glanced around the room, staring at the numerous machines on Lisa's side of the room, wondering what they did and how his daughter managed to assemble such complex pieces of technology.

Pointing at a large terminal-like computer with what appeared to be a phone receiver attached to it, Lisa replies "We'll be contacting him using this."

Staring at the odd machine, Rita asks "Lisa, what the heck is this thing and what does it do?" as she stepped closer to to get a better look.

Adjusting her glasses, Lisa replies "It's called a VideoPhone, a communications device that combines the aspects of..." before stopping herself upon seeing a pair of confused looks sent her way. "...It's a telephone with video features so you can see who you're talking to."

Letting out a low whistle, Lynn Sr. says "Your sister would kill to have one of these in her room. Did you make this yourself?"

"Yes, and I would request that you don't mention it to her. I don't want her pestering me to make her one so she can call that boyfriend of hers." replied Lisa bluntly before taking a seat in front of the VideoPhone and pressing several keys on its keyboard. "Give me a few minutes and I'll have us connected with Professor Oak."

While Lisa continued to try and get a connection, Rita and Lynn Sr. started wondering on what kind of person Professor Oak was. Would he be a shifty-looking creep that would try to get their son involved with questionable (and possibly illegal) research? Or would he be a cantankerous old grouch that made Mr. Grouse seem friendly?

They would just have to wait and see.

After a few minutes, the VideoPhone lets out a beeping noise, followed by the screen displaying an older man with short spiky grey hair dressed in a lab coat sitting in a chair...facing the wrong way.

"Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?"

"...Professor, you're facing the wrong camera again." muttered Lisa, facepalming.

"Darn it, this always happens..." grumbled the man before turning his chair around to face the other way. Upon seeing Lisa on his own VideoPhone screen, his look of annoyance quickly changed to one of joy. "Oh! Hello again, Miss Loud - it's good to hear from you again!"

With a smile of her own, Lisa says "It's good to see you too, Professor." before turning towards her parents while gesturing towards the screen. "Mother, Father...I'd like to introduce you to Professor Oak, the friend I mentioned before."

AN: Chapter 3 is done and to be honest, I really struggled to get through this one as I had a hard time finding the right words to use. Still, I hope you enjoy it.
The next chapter will include (and conclude) the meeting with Professor Oak as well as more stuff with Lincoln.

I still haven't come to a decision with the harem thing, but if I do end up going with it (and that's a big IF), don't be expecting any Loudcest or anything involving older characters like Carol, Erika or Sabrina.
