So there's been some recent discussion between LilSpaceKing and Krusa1. Oh my god you guys are freakin awesome. I'm taking in all of Krusa's suggestions. And if someone doesn't suggest something I like more, I'm doing most or all of them. I love them all so much. And to LilSpaceKing, I want to see your document SO badly. But again, it won't let me into the document.
To both you, everything you suggest or ask I am taking into account. I just want you to know that. Every comment I have noted and looked over, and they are really helping this story come along. I respect both your views and opinions because they are both really smart. And to save a bit of typing, you can call me Hannah if you want and I'm a female so you aren't confused on those gender words.
Also, for this one, I'm thinking of kinda tryin out Krusa1's suggestion to make more POV's in my stories. So some parts of this is from Lynn's POV, and the others from Lisa's POV. I always write these paragraphs before I write the story, so if I like the 2 POV thing, I might do it more often.
That outta the way, today's story is kinda a part 2 to my last one on Lisa and Lori. So I suggest you read that first. And today's story is about Lisa and Lynn if you couldn't tell already. Enjoy.
(Lisa's POV)
It had been 7 days since Lisa's bullying incident. And even though Lori gave her a lot of reassurance, Lisa was still thinking about it restlessly. It had been affecting her daily life. She didn't want to go to school, especially since she had to walk on that same sidewalk to get their. So she had asked her parents to drive her instead, much to their confusion. Now Lisa got why those people in the movies didn't like school. Maybe.
She had just realized that no matter how intelligent she was, she didn't know anything about making friends, having fun, or just getting bullied. People thought Lisa knew everything. But she knew she was in pre-school when it came to having a social life.
So she wanted to know more. Lisa Loud would be great in every subject. Especially the "Friend" one. So she turned to her chalk- No. There's no science to this. Only talking. Lisa was a little discouraged by this. Science could solve everything. Oh wait, it can't. She'd have to get that philosophy out of her brain. So she had gotten onto the computer to look up how to make friends. Except she typed up, "How to get the approval and acceptance of anyone around you. Or just how to be great at social. Just as long as you can tell me how to be the most socially person ever, I don't care." The computer just said, "We don't know what you mean by 'How to get the approval and acceptance of anyone around you. Or just how to be great at social. Just as long as you can tell me how to be the most socially person ever, I don't care.' Try again please."
Lisa huffed. She knew the only way to actually "get good at social" was to do it herself.
She hopped off the computer and walked up the stairs. She knew you meet most people at school. Not college. So she had to go to school. Sure she would get extremely bored in class, but it was an opportunity to show off her skills and tell the teachers even more about the lesson. And most importantly, make friends and become a social professor, along with all the other kinds of professors out there. She walked toward's her parents room to ask them.
Before she grabbed the handle to the door, Lynn burst out of her room.
"Lisa! Lori told me about what happened to you last week!" She said as she walked towards Lisa.
Lisa groaned. She had hoped Lori could keep her mouth shut on this.
"Um, yeah... It wasn't that bad though. You have no need t-"
"Not that bad? Lisa, you haven't been walking to your college, you haven't done nothin sciency all week, and your actually gonna ask mom and dad a question? Lisa don't lie to me." Lynn challenged.
Lisa looked at her. She was good. "Ok, maybe I am a little in my head about it." Lisa looked down. "But once I get some friends it'll all be ok."
Lynn wasn't convinced. "No Lisa, getting some friends won't help this."
Lisa looked back up at her. "Then what will?" She said a bit louder.
Lynn smirked. "Easy, revenge. Pummel on their faces, push them down until they kiss the pavement, or maybe even, pull all their homework out of their backpack and throw it in a puddle!"
Lisa was taken back. Actually fight those guys? She never wanted to see them again.
"I can't do that!" Lisa spat.
Lynn smiled even wider. "Of course you can't, but you can."
Lisa looked at her confused. "What?"
"I mean, you can't now, but I can teach ya how to."
"I'm only 4, haven't laid a finger on anyone in my life, and-"
"Hush." Lynn stopped her. "Trust me, no matter how much experience, no matter what age, anyone can learn these things. And maybe even excell at them."
"Can't you do it?" Lisa complained.
"It's never as satisfying."
Lisa stopped to think on this. Actually stand up to those guys? Could she really do it? Lisa wasn't exactly an expert on physical activity, she'd have to take Lynn's word for it. And apparently getting friends wasn't any help.
Lisa looked up at Lynn. "Alright."
(Lynn's POV)
Ha. Lynn never thought she'd actually be getting Lisa, of all people to practice defense poses out on the lawn. She never took to kindly to bullies. Even though nobody messed with her, her family was definitely prone to bullying. Lana's bully had even told Lana her parents couldn't keep it in their pants. These comments infuriated Lynn a lot more than they should've, but infuriated her nonetheless.
Lynn was very proud that she was finally able to do something about it. Once she was done with Lisa, nobody would even think of laying another fingure on any Loud ever again.
"Whats the point of this?" Lisa muttered as she was pulling a defensive pose with her legs spread apart and her arms up and ready to puch.
"So if any bozos try to pull somethin on ya, you have a way to stop them." Lynn said back. "Alright go back to standing."
Lisa quickly stood up perfectly straight.
"And, again." Lynn said.
Lisa pulled the same pose. This was a way to ingrain the stance into your head.
And that was the next couple days. Practicing new defense poses, learning how and where to strike a blow, and even some mini wrestling matches Lynn would always win. But Lisa was improving.
On Tuesday, around 6pm, Lisa walked out of the house with Lynn awaiting her, standing out on the lawn.
"You ready? What's today?" Lisa said as she walked towards her.
"Nothing. I think your all set." Lynn said.
"ALREADY? That's it?" Lisa said, shocked.
"Don't worry about it. I'll be there to watch you guys. I think you could kick their butts." Lynn replied, a smile on her face.
Lisa looked worried. That night, Lynn could hear thumping coming from Lisa's room. She could tell it was Lisa practice some more. Lynn giggled. "Hey Lisa! Get some shut eye too!"
The thumping stopped.
(Lisa's POV)
Lisa was worried about today. She was even scared. Practicing all those poses, learning about all those tricks on how to punch, would redeem her. But she had a gut feeling this wouldn't work. Those boys were humongous and older. Lisa was short and young. At least Lynn could help her if anything went wrong. And she had brought some tasers she had made in her pockets, but Lynn said she wouldn't need them. Lisa brought them anyways, even if they were no use, they were there.
Lynn had told her there is no need for science and inventions, and you could use speed and strength instead. She had never been that excited when Lisa had brought her new invention up to her, telling her it could help in any situation. Lisa had brought the least developed of her invention, the tasers, which weren't even her original idea anyways.
She knew where the bullies were walking home everyday when she described them to Lynn. Lynn was more than quick to find them and see how they got home from school. They always walked past the spot Lynn picked at about 4pm.
Lisa turned the corner to see Lynn standing there already, on the opposite side the street to not raise any awareness. Lynn smiled and gave her a thumbs up. Lisa thumbed up back.
She stood on the sidewalk to wait for the boys. After a couple minutes, she spotted the two off in the distance walking towards her.
Lisa panicked. She wanted to retreat. But Lynn kept staring her down.
The boys finally made it over. "Hey look who it is! Our old pal four eyes. You got anything for us this time?" The hat one chuckled.
"N-no I don't." Lisa stammered.
"THEN SCRAM." The boy shouted.
And before she could even think about this, Lisa lunged forward and pushed the Hat boy on his legs, which tripped him and made him fall onto his hand.
The boys looked at her in shock. But that shock quickly turned into anger. "YOU IDIOT!" Hat screeched as he got up and grabbed Lisa's backpack again. She grabbed onto his arm tightly and swung round, twisting his arm backwards. Lynn was smiling like she had just single handedly created the new Superman.
"AHHH!" He screamed. The other boy pulled Lisa off his arm and threw her onto the ground. She tried to get back up but he pinned her down. "You've done it now kid." Hat said as he leaned down towards her. He pulled back his untouched arm and formed a fist. Lisa quickly pulled the taser out of her sweater pocket, turned it on, and threw it onto the boy's chest.
The boy barely dodged it. He turned back to her. Lisa gulped. She was dead.
"Where'd you even get that?" Hat asked. Lisa stared at him.
"I-I made them..." Lisa replied.
"NO SERIOUSLY. Where di-"
"It's true." The brown haired boy said with the device in his hand. "It has no company name, logo, anything. It looks homemade."
Hat was still unconvinced. Lisa pulled out her PHD. "See?" She stammered, hoping to get a bit more time until she was pummeled. Lisa could see Lynn halfway across the street ready to save her, but stopped when she saw Lisa showing her PHD to the boys.
"So... Your like in college?" He asked again.
Lisa shakily nodded.
"Whats's the square root of seven?" He questioned.
"Well, the exact answer is 2.646. But if you want it rounded, about 3." Lisa answered calmly.
The boy stared at her. "Maybe I'll let you off the hook if you could do my math homework." He said. "Me too!" The other boy said in the back.
Lisa was relieved. She got up. "Easy." She replied, "Give it to me and meet me here tomorrow."
The two boys pulled their homework out of piles of crumbled and unorganized papers in their backpacks. They handed it to her and walked off.
(Lynns POV)
Lisa was beating up 2 boy and was about to get a serious concussion. Next thing you know, she had gotten up and taken some paper from them.
Lynn had absolutely no idea what just happened. But she didn't like it.
She ran over to Lisa. "What the heck was that Lisa? You had them and could've easily gotten out of that hold!" She shouted.
"Me and the young males have gotten on equal terms as long as I complete their work." Lisa said, not even looking at her.
Lynn was mad. She opened her mouth to say something. "But thank you Lynn." Lisa said.
Lynn closed her mouth. "I had no idea you cared about me that much, that you would help me through this." Lisa added. She paused. "Do ya wanna get home?"
Lynn looked at her. "No, you go home." She sat on the edge of the sidewalk. "I wanna sit here for a bit."
Lisa sighed a bit. "I'm sorry." She walked off.
Lynn felt sad. Lisa felt like she couldn't fight. She felt angry. Those 2 rats didn't get what they deserved. But most of all, she felt like trash. She threw Lisa into a dangerous situation and left her there alone. She lowered Lisa's self esteem by brushing off her tactics. So she continued to sit for a couple minutes.
Maybe next time, she would consider the Lisa way to it.
I know this one was a bit longer, but there was so much I wanted to get out on this. And I know it wasn't a particularly happy ending, but there are sad endings in life believe it or not.
I do kinda like the 2 POV thing. When necessary, I'll definitely use it again. And ta-da, I thought this would get out tomorrow, but it's early! Thanks for reading.
