Story Summary/Prompt: Some more fun interdimensional sightseeing. "I would love to see the world where there are identical Hendecauplets of the loud siblings." (Requested by ZanderJ2121 and some dialogue prompts by Wolvenstrom).

Story Twelve: Reality Gazers 2- Electric Boogaloo

"You know, in retrospect, maybe telling Luke everything wasn't the best idea I've had." Linka puts on a sheepish smile as she finishes, "So, what do you think Luke?"

Luke simply sits on Linka's bed; his eyes wide, his back straight and his arms limp against his sides. He has a confused expression on his face as he tries to process everything Linka had just told him.

After a few minutes of silence, he stands up and goes, "Well sis! Lars' storytelling has really rubbed off on ya! If you write and publish that you'll probably get over one hundred reviews or something!"

Then he begins to laugh, "I mean, come on! You actually expect me to believe that you're really a boy named Lincoln, who accidently got sent here by some anomaly? And now some god-like reality warper is asking you get some device to fix everything?" He then playfully rubs his sister's head, "Come on Linka, that story's too crazy, even for our standards!"

Linka sighs, "I know it sounds crazy, but I'm not really your sister. I'm just a version of her from another dimension."

"Oh come on Linka!" Luke counters, his voice filling with frustration, "You actually expect me to believe that you're really some boy named Lincoln, and you come from a reality where you're the only boy out of ten girls?!"

"Yes…" Linka looks away and rubs her arm in embarrassment.

Luke crosses his arms in response, "Come on Linka, you know that's not true." Then he loosens up and punches her arm playfully, "You're my sister, and nothing will change that." Then he turns and walks over to the front door, "Though, if you ever need help, feel free to ask, I'm your bro, I'll see what I can do."

"Linka, this is your last chance, let him go and I doubt he'll bring it up, ever." Linka then gives a defeated sigh, "I can prove it."

Luke stops himself, "What?"

With desperate tears filling her eyes, Linka continues, "I can prove that I'm not your sister."

The young man hesitates for a moment, "Should I? Nah… she's my sister, right? She just wants to be our brother instead. After all, she's wanted to spend time with both Lynn and I, played that crazy Duel Monsters game without much thought, took a paper route job despite not being one for outside work and stuff… She couldn't not be our sister, right?"

"Ok then, prove it Linka." Luke responds, before turning back to the eleven-year-old girl. "What the heck am I doing?!"

Immediately, Linka looks around the cramped room with a frantic determination, "What can I use to prove it? Matter Key?" Her eyes fall upon the golden watch. "No."

Then upon the metal card and the accompanying device, "No."

"Spare Ace Savvy Comic? Nah."

Finally, the young girl's eyes fall upon the set of metal goggles she had been using to view alternate realities, "I've got one shot." Then, she takes the device in her hands, "These are Dimensional Goggles. They allow the user to look into alternate worlds."

Luke hesitates as he takes the device in his hands, "Ok Linka, I'll bite. How do I use these things?"

"I need you to put them on. The AI will scan your retinas, register you as a user, and allow you to view other dimensions."

"And which dimension do you want me to see?"

"C-137."

With a deep breath, the young man then puts the device on, "Ok, turn on I guess?"

Immediately, the goggles spring to life, the mini scanners analyzing his retinas for a quick moment, before a familiar feminine voice declares, "User, Luke Loud, dimension 63i Apostrophe Backslash, detected!"

"Who made these things, and why does the AI sound like she's from a video game?"

Linka rubs the back of her head and responds; "Levi made them after the lemonade stand incident. Since he couldn't find decent voice assets to use, he just copied the files from an old 'Portal' game."

"Ok then…" Luke nervously responds, "So how do I use these things to view alternate dimensions?"

"Input accepted!" The goggles respond, before flashing a hard-light panel in front of him. The keypad is a translucent blue with white letters, "Please enter Dimensional Designation!"

"Ok…" Luke goes, before he types in the designation, C-137.

"Input accepted, track user dimensional signature?" GLaDOS continues in her normal monotone voice, before flashing, "[Y/N]"

"Uhh…" Luke stutters, "Sure…"

"Input accepted. Locating dimensional counterpart… counterpart located!" and with that, the image of a young woman, about Luke's age flashes on screen. She wears a purple shirt with a white skull design, a purple skirt and purple boots. Under her photo is the name, "Luna Loud."

"What the… who the heck is Luna Loud… and why does she look like that girl from the other day?"

"Transporting now…" GLaDOS finally declares. Immediately, the world around the young boy begins to glow, forcing him to close his eyes.

After a few minutes, his body begins to loosen up, as if he were not in a body, but rather a spirit.

"Welcome to Dimension C-137. Dimensional Signature of Dimensional Counterpart detected nearby! When prepared to return to dimension of origin, please shout, 'Return to home dimension!'"

"Ok then…" Luke nervously quips, before opening his eyes and taking in the surroundings.

Instead of the familiar linen closet his sister called home, he is standing in the familiar hallways, "What the… how'd I end up here?" He then begins to look around.

The hallways are the same random grey that he remembers them as, with the accompanying green lockers crowded by the various students preparing to go to their next classes, "Well… so far so I good I guess. Nothing-"

He starts to think, only to notice a girl with short brown hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a red shirt and red shorts pass by. "Wait… what?!" He then turns around, "Lynn?! Is that you?!"

The girl continues running with no response.

"Note, user is only able to look and phase through. You are unable to interact with the world around you."

"Well that would've been handy to know. At least no one can hear me, right?"

"Correct."

Luke thinks for another moment, "Ok then, can you tell me where Linka Loud's dimensional counterpart is? I need to make sure that she's not just playing me like a piano or something like that."

"Locating dimensional counterpart..." A few tense moments pass, with Luke tapping his foot in impatience.

"Dimensional counterpart located! Please, turn approximately ninety degrees to your right, and walk twenty feet until you reach the next corridor."

"Ok then… GLaDOS was it?" And with that, the young boy complies and stands in the center of a four-way corridor for a moment.

Then, the AI continues, "Turn ninety degrees to your left, and stare. According to calculations, dimensional counterpart for- Linka Loud- will arrive in approximately thirty seconds."

Luke chuckles, "Well, it's Levi's craftsmanship all right. Only he'd think of giving it a direction base this specific.

And so, the young man complies and waits for a moment, only for a young boy dressed in an orange dress, with slightly long white hair to turn and skip down the hallway, a familiar African-American boy by his side.

"So Clyde, how are ya?" he goes, his voice filled with a feminine cheer, "You've seemed really nervous ever since I met ya. Mind telling me what's wrong Fluffal Bear?"

Clyde blushes, "Nothing sugarplum, I'm just… this is the first time people have seen us in public together and I'm worried that people are going to, you know, do something bad to us and stuff.

Lincoln chuckles in response, "Don't worry Clyde Bear, everything's going to be fine."

"Linka… you sure?"

A wave of shock overtakes Luke as he thinks, "Wait… That's Linka?! But, how?!"

Linka then affectionately nuzzles Clyde's face, "Yeah, my sisters are watchin' out for us!"

The duo then continues cheerfully on their way, phasing right through Luke on the way.

It takes the young man shakes his head in response, "No, it's not true. That's not Linka. It just can't be. Linka's my sister back home… it's not like she somehow got swapped with that boy or something, right?!"

Immediately, he gives chase and follows the duo to their class. "No, it's not. That just has to be some weird knock off of my sister. After all, if there's a dimension where Linka is transgender, that could just mean that, there's a rule sixty-three dimension where her counterpart is transgender as well!"

Then, he watches Lincoln as he excitedly raises his hand to answer the question, "Who wrote 'Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata'?"

"Haha!" The… rather beautiful teacher chuckles, "My, my Lincoln, you're excited today. Please answer."

Luke chuckles, "Easy, I remember helping Linka with that a few months back. The answer is-"

"Erin Von Beethoven!"

The class stands in shock for a moment, before the children break out into laughter. The teacher, however, holds her composure, as she corrects, "Sorry Lincoln, Ludwig Von Beethoven wrote 'Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata'."

"Wait… could it be?" Luke shakes his head, "Nah…"

Then he speaks up, "Hey GLaDOS, I think I've seen enough, mind sending me home?"

"Input not accepted."

Luke grits his teeth, "Why not?"

"Because, reasons."

"GLaDOS!" Luke angrily shouts, "Return to home dimension or I will throw you down an incinerator shaft!"

"There you go! Input accepted!"

And with that, the world around the young man begins to melt away, before reforming in the linen closet room.

The young man takes the goggles off wordlessly, before staring at Linka.

"So, what'd you see?" Linka puts on a sheepish smile.

Luke thinks for a moment, "She's my sister, that kid was just a weird version of her…" Then he asks, "Hey Linka, who wrote 'Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata'?"

Linka looks at her brother in confusion for a moment, before tilting her head and responding, "Ludwig Von Beethoven, right?"

"That…" Luke thinks, "That can't be… I helped her! Linka would never get something like that wrong, ever!"

Then the young girl tilts her head, "You ok?"

"You're… you're telling the truth…" the shock fills the young man's eyes, "You're not my Linka… you're…" Then, he takes a seat on the bed once more, before throwing the dimensional goggles at the wall, causing them to hit the ground with a soft *thud*.

"Did I just screw up big time?" Linka thinks, as she takes a seat next to her brother.

A few moments of tense silence pass, before Luke decides to break the confused silence with, "How long?"

"How long what?"

Luke stands up at the girl, "How long have you been masquerading as my sister you, you, you body-stealer!" and with that, he grabs and lifts her up, before holding his fist out, as if prepared to punch, "How long?! Answer me!"

Linka frantically looks at the calendar hanging above her dresser, the first box crossed out marking the date. "I've been here since October twenty-third. That means that I've been like this for over two months at this point.

The young man holds his angered stance as he continues, "Is there anything else I should know?! Are you hiding anything you… you…" he drops the girl back on her bed, before muttering, "I don't even know what to call you anymore." And with that, tears begin to fill his eyes.

"Luke…" Linka whispers, her heart racing from the adrenaline filling her veins. "Is something else bothering you?!"

"You mean besides the fact that my sister isn't really my sister?" Luke wipes the tears, "Nothing, it's just… I've never seen Linka smile that much before…" Then, he turns to the current Linka, "We knew you had issues. We thought that you wanted to be our brother and stuff because Linka never seemed to be that happy being a girly girl and yet-"

Linka looks at him in confusion for a second, "Hold on… you thought me not being the perfect girly girl on the planet meant I had issues?!" Then she jumps to her feet, "I'm tired, hormonal and have been tasked by a guy who's job acronym is literally GOD to save all of reality! And in the two months that your sister has been in my body she's screwed me over! My family and friends think I'm transgender, she's started dating my best friend and she deleted my 'not porn' folder!"

Yet, the young man simply looks away, a pained expression forming on his face, "Has she at least tried to find her way home? Like you seem to have been doing?"

Linka simply shakes her head, "No, not to my knowledge. She seems to have been having a really good time as me."

"Were we really that horrible to her?" Luke looks away and stands up once more, "I'm… I'm going to my room." Before looking back at his sister with tear-filled eyes and pained smile, "Don't worry, I won't tell. Just… just give me time to think Link… Lincoln." And with that, he walks out of the young girl's room and over to his own.

"Well that could've gone better." Linka thinks, before giving a defeated sigh, "I guess that's why I didn't tell anyone at first, but at least I can trust Luke to not tell anyone. Loki is too serious; Loni is too… out there. The other bros have their own issues, and Lexx and Levi… they'd just tell anyways."

Then she looks at the interdimensional goggles once more, "But Luna… I remember I could always trust her back home. I just hope that I can trust Luke too." Then she picks the device off the floor, "On days like this, I miss my sisters more than usual…"

And with that, she carefully puts the goggles on.

"User detected! Linka Loud, Dimension 63i Apostrophe Backslash! Please enter Dimensional Designation!"

"As always, Dimension C-137 GLaDOS."

"Warning, due to blunt force damage, calibration settings have been offset. Calibration Protocol is in effect. Before usage, unit must recalibrate! Is this acceptable?"

"Maybe I should hold off… after all, what Luke saw must've really hurt him…" Linka then sighs, "Sure. Search for alternate realities. I need something to get my mind off my brother's problems. Keep going until you come across dimension C-137." Then she takes a deep breath and thinks, "And please show me something that could get my mind off… everything"

"Input accepted! Beginning calibration!"

And with that, the world around Linka melts away, before reforming as a bright area filled with random portals to other dimensions, the interdimensional void, and "Ok, here we go." Linka whispers and with that, a flash of light bursts across the young girl's face, forcing her to shut her eyes.

When she opens them, she finds herself standing in front of her bedroom once more. By the decorations handing around, it seems that it's still Christmas time. "Huh." She quips, "I wonder what's the quirk about this dimension…"

Then, she climbs down the stairs… only to find her counterpart standing under mistletoe with Lynn.

"Well… this is awkward." Lynn quips, before leaning in.

"It's only awkward if you make it." The Linka counterpart responds, while throwing her arms around Lynn, "Now come'ere you!"

Lynn places his hands on Linka's back and pulls her close as they come together in a loving kiss.

Linka's face goes red in embarrassment as she watches the scene unfolding before her very eyes. "Uhh… what the heck?!"

After a few short moments, the Lynn and Linka off this new dimension break off, and Linka slides her hand into Lynn's pants. "How about we take this to the next step bro?"

Lynn leans in closer, "How about in your room?" Then, he kisses her neck as she responds, "I'd love that."

And with that, the athletic brother scoops the Linka counterpart in his arms, before carrying her upstairs.

A few minutes of silence pass while Linka stands by, trying to process exactly what just happened, before thinking, "You know what, I'm just going to put that out of my mind. Yep, I'm going to pretend like I didn't just see… that."

"Hey GLaDOS." She calls with a hopeful tone.

"Yes, user: Linka Loud?"

"Do me a favor and filter out all dimensions in which Linka and/or Lincoln Loud is or ends up in a relationship with one of the other Louds."

"Input accepted, filtering 95% of all dimensions involving/containing Lincoln and/or Linka Loud. Calibration time increased."

"Awesome." She responds, before declaring, "Anyways, I'm traumatized for life!" Then she chuckles, "Though, I wonder if Lynn has a crush on me back home."

"Remember the last time you said that Ms. Loud? I think it was when you visited Dimension HRM-YNDR-34"

The young girl shivers, "Hey! It's true! I'll never be able to get that image out of my head!"

"You'll get over it."

"You still suck, you know that GLaDOS?"

"I'll still take that as a compliment."

Dimension Designation Detected: WLVN-22708. Recalibrating!

And with that, Linka closes her eyes once more.

"Ok, let's see where I ended up this time." Linka quips as she opens her eyes once more. This time, revealing her backyard.

Linka takes a quick look around and whispers, "Ok, so far, so good…"

Only for ten identical children and this dimension's Lincoln counterpart to burst through the back door.

All ten children are about Lucy's height, and while they all have blonde hair, except for the Lucy counterpart of course, each child's hair is styled differently and they each wear a different set of clothing.

A dimension where the girls are all identical counterparts?" A shiver runs down the young girl's spine, "I've dealt with Lana and Lola and Leif and Lexx for a long enough time to know, that this Lincoln doesn't get enough sleep, guaranteed." Then another thought cuts through her mind, "How the heck did mom carry ten children at the same time?!"

That's when the Lincoln counterpart tiredly walks into the backyard, before tiredly passing out on the grass, all while the ten identical sisters run around like the little balls of energy they are.

"Heh, I guess I was right."

Dimensional Designation Detected: ZNDR-2121! Recalibrating!

"Well… at least everything could be way worse." Linka quips, as she closes her eyes once again.

This time she finds herself standing in front of Luna and Luan's or Luke and Lane's room.

"Oh, oh!" Linka hears the boys shout.

"Why do I have a feeling I'm going to regret doing this?" Linka whispers as she phases through the door. Revealing Lane and Luke kissing, with Mrs. Coconuts nearby leaking a white fluid from her bottom.

Slowly, Linka pulls her head from the room, "Ok… that was… unexpected. I wonder if the others…" She carefully walks over to Lynn and Lars' room and phases inside again, only to find Lynn in a maid dress and bunny ears and Lars standing in front of his… "Parts"

Linka slowly pulls her head out of the room again and steps over to what would be her room, "Welp, if four of my brothers are like that here… I wonder what this dimension's Linka has to deal with." And with that, she phases through the door.

Only to find this reality's Linka trying to sleep in her bed with Loni, Leif, Lexx, Levi and Leon trying to sleep with her.

"I wish I had sisters… and a bigger bed." The Linka counterpart quips. While Linka chuckles, "You and me both, sister."

"Anyways, GLaDOS." She talks with a nonchalant tone, "Why'd you bring me to a dimension where four of my brothers are gay lovers?!"

"Because I'm calibrating and this is the long route to it. That, and I thought it'd be important to desensitize you to this stuff. After all, infinite universes, infinite possibilities!"

"Well, it's working I guess, because I'm not shocked at all, just disappointed I guess?" Linka then sighs, "Just please hurry up and find the designation."

Dimensional Designation Detected: J-J-BNI-12/30. Recalibrating!

"This is getting annoying again!" Linka shouts.

"Well sorry! It's not my fault that your brother throwing me against the wall damaged my calibration! I'm doing my best little missy!"

"Whatever." Linka crosses her arms in annoyance.

Then she opens her eyes, "Now, where am I?"

That's when the realization hits her; she's not at home for once, but rather standing in hospital room, with this dimension's version of Lincoln lying in a tear-soaked hospital gown.

"Why does this place give me a feeling that someone's dying?"

"You should've died." The middle-aged doctor goes.

"Thank you Doctor House." The Lincoln counterpart responds.

The doctor continues, "No seriously, you were just a few minutes from dying." And then the doctor goes and explains the reasons for this Lincoln surviving what sounds like a fatal event.

"And why didn't it happen?"

"Because your sister hit you in the head with a soccer ball. The impact, thanks to one of those unlikely to happen coincidences of life that only seems to happen to you-"

Dimension Designation Detected: UH-RFAL-C3. Recalibrating!

And with that, Linka shuts her eyes once more.

A few moments pass before she can open them again, and when she does so she thinks, "Yeah, so many things that have happened lately have been due to life's coincidences just piling up." Then she sighs, "Hey GLaDOS, can you give me information on that dimension?"

Dimension UH-RFAL-C3. According to the Dimensional Catalogue of Information, it is the dimension in which Lincoln Loud is diagnosed with untreatable disease.

"Sounds like a heart wrenching story written by a college student."

"Yes, yes it does."

"Anyways." Linka goes, "Where am I now?"

"Guardian Mode! Engage!" Linka watches as this dimension's Lincoln counterpart inserts a red curve-tipped star into a gauntlet, and punches it into the ground, "Lock in!"

Immediately, a red metal suit covers the boy's body. "Guardian Red! Guardian of the essence that fuels the flames of life!"

"A Dimension where I'm a guardian? I wonder if I'm like Cryptos here." Then she chuckles.

"I highly doubt it. Most likely you're one of those guys from Pacific Rim or Power Rangers."

"Whatever." Then she looks at the suit closer, "Though, I have a feeling it's closer to Super Sentai than anything else." While she thinks, "Dangit! This world looks awesome! Why couldn't I have gotten sent here?!"

With that, the Lincoln counterpart charges at a nearby monster… only to get slapped away.

"On second thought, I like not getting thrown against walls."

Dimensional Designation Detected! TLA-GL-2! Recalibrating.

"This is getting really annoying."

"Yes, yes it is."

Linka opens her eyes in yet another world, how this time Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan and Lynn and laying on the couch, each with an obviously pregnant belly.

"Uhh… what's going on?"

"According to the Dimensional Catalogue of Information, they are all currently pregnant."

"Ok then… who's the father?" Linka steps over and attempts to rub their bellies.

"Lincoln Loud."

Immediately, Linka snaps with, "GLaDOS! I thought I told you not to bring me to any dimensions where I was in a romantic relationship with my sisters!"

"You're not. It's Lisa's experiment going awry."

Linka simply facepalms.

Dimensional Designation Detected: EXTS-OU-TPH-437-31. Recalibrating!

"Well, at least nothing can go wrong..."

"Warning: Error Detected!"

"Oh come on!" Then she blinks twice, before shouting, "Wait what?!" and with that, the world around her, rather then melting away or flashing bright enough to force her eyes shut, disintegrates; leaving ruins in their place.

Linka looks around the now destroyed home, "GLaDOS, what the heck just happened?!"

"Error in calibration. Working to correct."

*Groan* "Alright, fine! Just hurry up!" Linka goes, before walking out of the destroyed home and into the streets of the town.

"Unit is working to correct error."

The young girl holds her arm nervously as she takes in the scene around her. The once blue sky is a dull grey. The once green lawns and trees are scorched, no doubt in a massive fire. The roads and sidewalks are torn, with their slabs thrown around randomly. And worst of all, there is no one outside, it is as if a war and a tornado had come down and ravaged everything.

"Where am I?" Linka thinks.

"Warning: Error detected."

Error Dimensional Designation Detected: AX-144.

"GLaDOS, what's going on with you?!"

"Warning, unit does not know."

Once again, instead of simply melting away, the dimension disintegrates revealing the town of royal woods once more, this time occupied by unusual beings in hazmat-like military suits.

"What the heck?" Linka, like before, takes in the scene. From what she can see, the town itself is still in one piece, with many of the single-family homes replaced by large apartments. In the distance is a massive tower, looming over the town like a citadel of sorts.

Of the people she can see, the humans are dressed in blue jumpsuits, while the beings in the hazmat suits guide them around like prisoners.

"Huh? What are the Combine doing in this dimension?"

Error Dimensional Designation detected: CX-135!

And with that the dimensions shift once more. And Linka lands in her home dimension again.

"Those were Nyla and Trevor's home dimensions…" Linka whispers as she gets up and walks into the school building "If what Nyla sung is true… that means that anomalies caused those to fall apart…"

"Home dimension detected, viewing mode engaged!"

"You know what… I'll think about this more later… for now, I just have to go miss my sisters again…" And with that, she sighs, "I just hope things are going to get better soon.

Meanwhile…

Luke rests on his bed just staring at the ceiling, "There are other dimensions… ok I got that…" He repeats, "And Linka… my sister, is in a reality in which she's a boy and has ten sisters…"

Then, tears begin to fill his eyes, "And if what Linka or Lincoln or whatever their name is, told me is true… She isn't even trying to come home… Was being the only girl out of all of us really that bad?" He shakes his head, "No… it couldn't have been."

He sighs again, "Though, I have to admit… I kinda like the slightly tomboy girl she is… I may find it odd, but then again she wasn't the most feminine girl before, and we liked her like that."

The young man replays a memory he holds dear, the thought of Linka running around with her brothers, smiling all the while. And then, of the accident a few years back that caused their father to become the way he is now.

"After that day, she became more… cut off from us…That was the last time I saw her smile a lot…" He thinks, before he sits up, "She would never smile as much as she did in just those few minutes…"

That's when he remembers what prompted this mess. Linka called him into her room with the guise of telling him something important.

An hour earlier…

"Hey Luke, I can trust you with anything, right?" Linka nervously asks, an Luke responds, "Of course sis. What's the problem?"

Linka takes in a deep breath and responds, "I'm not really your sister."

A wave of confusion overtakes the young man, yet he doesn't let it show and simple responds, "What do you mean Linka?"

"My name isn't Linka, it's Lincoln, and I'm from another dimension."

Luke tilts his head in confusion, "What the heck are you talking about sis? You're my sister, what's this… stuff about alternate realities and stuff?!"

Then she sighs, "A few months ago, I was a boy with ten loving sisters, but I was curious. I wanted to see what life on the other side was like, so my Lisa, your Levi, decided to make this." She then motions towards her golden watch; "This device was designed to send me to an alternate universe and back, so long as I did what I wanted within twenty-four hours. It was supposed to be simple."

Luke simply stands by, awestruck by the revelation.

"But sadly, it wasn't." Linka continues in a downcast tone, "Before I could get home, I got pushed away from my home portal by some version of me bent on destroying reality!"

"Destroying reality?"

"Yeah…" She then looks away shamefully, "After that, I ended up as a hormonal pre-teen girl with ten brothers. While the Guardian of Dimensions is asking me to get something called the macguffin to save everything! Not only that, but these weird hunter people are trying to seal me in cards too boot!"

And with that, Luke stares at the young girl, simply trying to comprehend what he just heard.

Back in the present…

"Yo Luke!" Lane shouts, "Earth to Luke!"

Immediately, Luke flinches, "Huh, what?"

Lane laughs, "It looks like you were bed-gazing! What's on your mind bro?"

Luke shakes his head, "Nothing bro." While he thinks, "And now I find out that Linka's been acting strangely because she isn't really Linka? Why doesn't she want to come home? Why doesn't any of this stuff seem to fit?!"

"I have to talk to Linka." Luke declares.

"Ahh, so girl stuff huh? Lane quips, "Just remember what dad says! Don't stick it unless you're prepared to handle eleven kids!" then he laughs some more.

Luke simply nods, before walking out of his room and over to his sister's. He stands before the wooden Linen closet door for a moment in hesitation, "Either you try to forget and home things will work out, or you go and try to find out the truth Luke." And with that, he knocks.

"Come in!" The young girl on the other side cheers and he enters in response. "Hey Luke!" She greets.

"Ok Link… I'm willing to help." He speaks with a defeated tone.

Linka holds the dimensional goggles in her hands for a moment, before turning to her brother with, "Thanks Luke… To get home and save the world, I'm going to need all the help I can get."

"What's wrong?" Luke asks.

"I just found out where Nyla and Trevor came from."

"What do you mean."

Linka responds, "You know the hunters I mentioned earlier?"

Luke nods.

"Yeah, the girl from the club a few days ago and a guy named Trevor were both hunters… I just found out the dimensions they came from."

"By the sound of it, it wasn't pretty."

"Yeah… they weren't."

A few minutes of confused silence pass between the two siblings, before Linka shakes her head and asks, "Hey Luke, ever since I came here, I've felt urges to go out with boys. Why isn't Linka feeling the urge to go out with girls?"

Luke shrugs, "Maybe she liked girls here and then that feeling became a like of boys there." Then, he takes the goggles in his hands, "So Linka, I guess we're going to save the multiverse. What are we going to need to do?"

"Just wait I guess… do you know any rooms of secrets around? That's where William told me the first MacGuffin fragment would be found.

"No I-"

"Kids!" Rita shouts, "We need you to come down now! We have to tell you something!"

"I guess we'll have to talk about this later, Luke." Linka nervously goes.

"Yeah." Luke responds with an uncaring voice, before both he and his sister head downstairs.

"Hello you two." Lynn Sr. greets with a stern tone.

The Loud children gather around him, overcrowding the couch, with Linka in the middle, Luke and Loki at her sides and the over siblings sitting on the floor. Rita sits off to the side, cradling Leon.

The family patriarch stands up, his commanding gaze hanging over his children like a general leading his troops.

"You've got school tomorrow. Make sure you're ready and look out for each other and your sister, got that?"

The boys simply nod in unison.

"Linka, is something wrong?"

The girl flinches, "Huh, no, nothing's wrong. I understand and will be ready for school tomorrow." While she thinks, "I just hope nothing else goes wrong. Luke seems determined to help though…"

"Good, now come, your mother has finished cooking dinner." The father declares, before leading his sons to the kitchen, followed by Rita and Linka.

As she walks over to her seat, the one closest to Lynn Sr. Linka thinks, "I wonder what craziness school will have in store…"
