Chapter fourteen: Final Confrontation

Lincoln Loud was grabbing breakfast one morning in his ex-family's house in Royal Woods, Michigan. As he ate his simple meal of a bowl of cereal with milk, his younger sisters Lucy, Lola and Lana were talking to his younger ex-sister Lisa, while Lincoln's ex-mother Rita was feeding his baby ex-sister Lily.

"Come on, Lisa," Lana said, "Lola and Lucy already agreed to go to the park! If you agree to come, we can play four square or something else like that!"

"I'm afraid that I have some experiments that I need to attend to," Lisa replied in her usual dry monotone, "I don't really have the time to play around."

"Also, I feel the need to point out that I only agreed to go to the park because I was planning on writing in my journal while sitting under one of the trees," Lucy said to her tomboyish younger sister, "It's such a pleasant day, and I could do with getting some fresh air."

"Also, unless you can get one of our older sibling units to go with us to keep an eye on us, I highly doubt that our mother will let us go to the park," Lisa added.

"Your little sister has a point, Lana," Rita said in a mildly firm tone, "But if one of your older siblings is okay with going to keep an eye on you and your sisters, then you all can go."

"Alright," Lana said. Immediately turning to face Lincoln, Lana asked, "Hey Lincoln, can you come with me, Lola, Lucy and Lisa to the park today?"

"I'm sorry, Lana," Lincoln began in an apologetic tone, "But my friend Rusty asked me and our other friends to come by and help him with something."

"Aww," Lana said in a disappointed pout. As the tomboyish twin sulked, Leni came walking into the dining room area. Right before she reached the doorway leading into the kitchen, Leni noticed Lana's sulking.

"Hey Lana, are you, like, okay?" Leni asked in a concerned tone.

"Me, Lola, Lucy and Lisa can't go to the park because mom says we need an older sibling to go along to watch us," Lana explained in a disappointed tone.

"Hey, I have time today," Leni said, "I can, like, totes go along with all of you!"

"Really?!" Lana said excitedly, her tone instantly picking right back up.

"Well if mom is, like, okay with it, then sure!" Leni replied in her usual chirpy tone.

Rita, upon hearing Leni volunteer to go with the youngest of the Loud girls to the park was at first a bit hesitant; Rita had nothing against her second-oldest, but Leni did have a history of letting her attention wander. Still, Leni was available and willing, and the youngest of the Loud girls, Lana in particular, were eager to go to the park. …Well, Lana, Lola and Lucy were eager to go to the park; Lisa wanted to stay home, although Rita felt that her second-youngest could do with some fresh air.

"Well…alright, Leni," Rita said, "But remember that you have to keep an eye on Lucy, the twins and Lisa, okay?"

"Uhh, mother," Lisa began to interject, "I just said that I did not wish to go to the park. Lucy, Lola and Lana can go without me."

"Lisa, sweetie, you could do with some time outside," Rita remarked, her tone making it clear that Lisa was going to go to the park with her sisters, whether she wanted to go or not. Seeing that she was not going to get out of this, the brainy Loud sister sighed in a resigned tone before draining the last of her cup of milk.

"Very well, mother," Lisa remarked, "I'll just need to go throw on a clean shirt."

"Ooh, that reminds me," Lola said, "I need to go put on a clean dress! It simply wouldn't do if I went to the park in a dirty dress." As Lana proceeded to taunt Lola over her obsessive need to be presentable at all times which resulted in Lola getting into an argument with her twin sister, Lincoln chuckled to himself a bit in an amused manner; this was just the twins being themselves, as per usual.

Mornings like these were one of the things that Lincoln missed while he lived as a runaway.

Later over at the park, the twins and Lisa were playing around on the playground while Lucy sat in the shade under a tree as she wrote in her journal. "Hey girls," Lisa began in a mildly apprehensive tone, getting the twins' attention in the process, "I…I don't suppose either of you knows how our older brother unit is doing as of late, do you?"

"Well Lincoln did win that sword fighting tournament recently," Lola remarked, "And he does seem like his mood's better than it was when he first came back home after running away."

"Good, good," Lisa said, "That's good." As the three younger Loud sisters continued to play, they heard some of the other young kids on the playground scream and otherwise make noise that clearly conveyed feelings of fright. This confused Lisa and the twins until Lola and Lana spotted a familiar certain someone stalking around on the playground as if he owned the place.

"Oh no," Lola said in a hushed whisper of fear, "It's Biff Bizowski! What's he doing here?" Lola and her twin watched apprehensively as they saw the third-grade bully go about the park, coming across an area where two kids were playing; before he even got close, the two kids saw him coming up and promptly ran away before the frightening bully even got close to them. "Girls, we need to go right over to where Leni is and stay right next to her until Biff leaves," Lola said to her sisters in a serious tone, "There's no way that jerk will bother us if we're sticking close to a high schooler."

"What about Lucy?" Lana asked in a mildly frightened tone, "She's somewhere in the park under a tree! She has no idea that Biff is here!"

"Oh geez, you're right, Lana!" Lola said in a worried tone, "She could cross Biff's path for all we know!"

"Lola, Lana, the two of you are both overreacting," Lisa said, her usual dry monotone sounding relaxed and casual, "There is no way he'll bother anyone here at the park. Not with so many-"

"Hey!" Lis and the twins heard Biff's voice shout from somewhere in the park. Looking over, the girls saw to their extreme worry that Biff was staring down at Lucy as she sat under a tree. "You're the little turd that got me in trouble with that older kid with the white hair!" Biff snapped as he pointed an accusing finger at the gothic Loud sister, "The hell is wrong with you, getting someone who's better than you into trouble like that, huh?"

"…Yeah, allow me, my sibling units," Lisa said in an unamused tone as she got up and went over to where Biff was harassing Lucy. Despite how frightened they both were, both Lola and Lana got up and went after their brainy younger sister. Within short order, Lisa and the twins arrived where Biff was bothering Lucy.

"Excuse me," Lisa called out in a calm and casual tone, prompting Biff to turn around and see the three younger girls standing behind him.

"The hell do you want, you little snot?" Biff demanded as he turned to face Lisa, cracking his knuckles as he turned around.

"Oh geez, he's cracking his knuckles," Lola said in a hushed, worried tone.

"If you do indeed have a legitimate problem with my older sister Lucy, then why not inform your parents about it so that they can talk to out parents about it, and then we can hopefully reach a compromise?" Lisa suggested, "There is certainly no need to let our emotions get the best of us and lead us to do things that we'll end up regretting."

Giving the brainy Loud sister an annoyed look, Biff said in a sneering tone, "Do you think that you're smarter than me, twerp?"

"…Well," Lisa began, "Seeing as how I don't act threateningly towards girls half my age and a third my size, I have at least one point above you that-" Lisa was cut off when Biff punched her on the left side of her face, sending her tumbling back and her glasses flying. The glasses landed on the ground near Biff, so he walked over and stomped down on them with all of his might, crushing them without mercy.

"Hey!" Lola snapped in an annoyed tone, "What do you think you're doing to my little sister you big meanie?!"

"The same that I'll do to you if you don't zip your lip and show me the respect that you ought to show me, you little brat!" Biff growled angrily as he shook a fist at the pageant winning Loud sibling, making her and Lana back off out of sheer fright. Satisfied that the smaller kids knew that he was their superior, Biff turned back around to face Lisa, who was slowly picking herself back up off of the ground.

"…I believe I can also add 'beating up much smaller girls' to the list I was talking about before you so rudely cut me off," Lisa said dryly, glaring at the third-grade bully as well as she could, given that her glasses were now broken. "Seriously. Do you know how much trouble that you'll get into for-" Lisa was cut off again when Biff punched the left side of her face again, making her fall over onto her back. While Lisa was prone, Biff jumped onto her and started to punch her repeatedly. It was a terrifying display that had the twins and Lucy too afraid to even move.

"Alright, you little turd," Biff growled in self-assured superiority, "Got any last words before I rearrange your face?!"

"…The Aristocrats," Lisa replied in her usual dry monotone, ever defying the bully and denying him as much satisfaction from beating her up as she could.

"…" Regarding the brainy Loud sibling with a confused look, Biff said, "I have no idea what the hell you're even talk-"

"Hey!" Leni's voice called out, prompting everyone to turn and see a clearly angry Leni come running over, "What do you think you're doing to my little sisters?!"

"Aww crap," Biff said as he got up and proceeded to run away. By the time Leni reached her younger sisters, the third-grade bully already had enough of a head start. Leni wanted to go after the little bully and give him a talking to for being mean to her little sisters, but her little sisters themselves were right here and they were frightened. …Well, Lucy and the twins were clearly frightened. Lisa wasn't acting frightened.

"Lisa!" Leni said in a concerned tone as she knelt over to help her little sister up, "Are you, like, okay?"

"…Well other than the fact that a Neanderthal thought that it would be a good idea to use my face as a punching bag, nothing's up," Lisa replied dryly.

"I don't think we can come to this park anymore," Lana said in a worried and frightened tone, "There's no telling when Biff will come back to assert his dominance again."

"…You're seriously going to let a cowardly brute like him terrorize not just you but everyone else here at the park?" Lisa asked, surprised by what her tomboyish older sister was saying, "Lana, you beat up three fifth-graders on your own a few weeks ago. I'm surprised that you of all people would be afraid of just one lone bully who, need I point out, is younger than the three aforementioned fifth graders."

"Those fifth graders were nothing," Lana remarked wit ha dismissive wave of her hand, "This is Biff Bizowski we're talking about here! Just look what he did to you, Lisa!"

"…I've been on the receiving end of Lynn letting the rush of winning a big game get the better of her," Lisa remarked dryly, "I'll recover."

"Girls, I'm, like, totes sorry, but I'm taking you all home now," Leni said, trying to sound as firm as she could. Luckily for the ditzy sixteen-year-old, the twins and Lucy were all too happy to leave the park as soon as they could. Lisa also wanted to go home, although that was because she had some experiments to work on; she never even wanted to come to the park in the first place.

She wouldn't have been pounded by a Neanderthal if she didn't come to the park.

"What happened to Lisa?!" Rita exclaimed when she saw her daughters all return home from the park, and noticed the bruises on her second-youngest's face, along with the fact that the frame of Lisa's glasses was broken into a few pieces; the lenses of the glasses could not have been saved.

"Some brute from the playground thought that it would be a good idea to use me as a punching bag," Lisa explained, calmly and without any hint of being upset over what had happened to her, "Also mother, I believe that I shall be needing my back-up pair of glasses."

"Hey, I have an idea," Lola began, "We should get Lincoln to beat Biff up!"

"Hey, yeah!" Lana went on as she liked the sound of her twin sister's idea, "Biff is actually frightened of Lincoln. I bet that Lincoln can totally beat up Biff!"

"Also, Aggro has been totes training Linky in sword fighting," Leni said, "Linky can take that wooden sword that Aggro gave him and-"

"Girls," Rita interrupted in a stern tone, "You are not going to have your brother beat up a playground bully."

"Our mother unit has a point," Lisa pointed out, "All we have to do is let responsible adults deal with this. Keep in mind that letting responsible adults deal with Biff at school has kept him from acting up since the last time."

"Yeah, Lisa," Lana remarked in a knowing tone, "Biff hasn't acted up at school. He just makes live for everyone else miserable outside of school." Looking down to the ground, Lana said, "Let's just face it. If we stop Biff in one place, he'll just pick up and continue doing what he's always been doing somewhere else. It's pointless."

"Now Lana, there's no need to get like that," Rita said in a gentle and reassuring tone, "I'll just talk to this Biff kid's parents about what their son has been doing, then we'll work from there." After that, Rita left her daughters where they were as she went to go get the back-up pair of glasses for Lisa. After the Loud matriarch had left, Lisa turned to face her older siblings.

"When mother returns with my back-up pair of glasses, I'm going to be heading straight up to my room," Lisa said, "I've got some work to do."

"Yeah, I think we should have left you here, Lisa," Lola said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry that you got dragged into having to deal with Biff."

"It is a non-factor, Lola," Lisa replied, "Like I said, I'll recover."

That night, after the rest of the Loud family had gone to sleep, Lisa was still up, sitting at her worktable while her baby sister Lily snoozed away in her crib, blissfully unaware of what her brainy older sister was doing. Lisa checked some handwritten notes before taking a vial containing some sort of purple liquid and pouring it into a beaker that contained some sort of blue liquid. When a wisp of red smoke came out of the beaker as a result, Lisa smiled.

"…Yes," Lisa said quietly to herself, "That will do nicely."

The brainy Loud sibling then poured the contents into a tray of some sort, then she carefully took that tray and put it into a machine of some sort. After she did that, Lisa changed into her sleep outfit and went to bed, figuring that she had nothing else to do at the time. Later, when Lisa woke up in the morning, she went to the machine that she put the tray into, opened it, and took the tray out. Poking the now jellied form of the liquid that she poured into the tray, Lisa smiled once again.

"…Yes," Lisa said quietly to herself one again, "That will do nicely."

Over at the park later in the morning, Lisa was sitting in the sandbox with Lola and Lana, both of which looked like the boogeyman would jump out at them at any moment. Lucy was sitting under a different tree than the one from the previous day. Once again, Leni was the older sibling that came to the park to keep an eye on the youngest Loud siblings.

"Lisa, I'm surprised that you would actually want to come to the park," Lana remarked, "Not only did you not want to come yesterday, but when you did come to the park, Biff beat you up! You've got to be the bravest out of all eleven of us, because I'm pretty sure that you aren't the dumbest out of all eleven of us."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence in my intelligence, Lana," Lisa replied casually, "And trust me when I say that after today, we should-"

"The hell are you doing back here, you creepy little snot?!" Lisa and the twins heard Biff's voice shout. Looking over, Lisa, Lola and Lana saw Biff standing in an intimidating manner as he loomed over Lucy, who was still sitting on the ground. Casually getting up, Lisa removed a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag of what looked like jellied candies from her right pants pocket before she strolled over.

"Lisa, wait!" Lola said in a worried tone, "Biff will take your candy if you walk up to him while holding it! Also, where did you get that candy from?"

Having made her way over to where Biff was once again trying to torment Lucy, Lisa said, "Hey, you leave my big sister alone!" Turning around, Biff spotted Lisa standing there, and gave a smug sneer to the four-year-old girl.

"I see you got another pair of those nerdy glasses," Biff taunted, "And why should I leave your creep of a big sister alone? She's a creep and has what I'm going to do to her coming!"

"She doesn't deserve anything bad," Lisa said, sounding as if she were a frightened little girl, "Lucy is the nicest big sister in the world!" Holding up the bag of jellied candies she had, Lisa said, "She was even nice enough to make this candy for me!" Before either Lisa or Lucy could act, Biff snatched the bag of candies from the brainy Loud sibling.

"Well it's my candy now, twerp!" Biff sneered as he took a piece of the candy from the bag and ate it. After chewing and swallowing the piece of candy, Biff said, "…Meh, I've had better candy than this." Pointing in a demanding manner towards Lisa, Biff said, "You better bring me some better candy tomorrow or else I'll-" Biff stopped short as he dropped the candy bag he stole from Lisa so he could hold his arms over his stomach, which was making some sort of growling noises that did not sound from hunger.

"Ooh, my stomach," Biff said, sounding like he wasn't feeling all that well, "Something's wrong with my-" Biff stopped short as a panicked expression appeared across his face. Suddenly, a certain loud and disgusting toilet-related sound came from the third-grade bully when, as swift as a coursing river and with all the force of a great typhoon, he defecated in his shorts, the liquid number two trailing down out of his shorts down the back of both of his legs.

"…Oh no…" Biff said, his tone clearly conveying embarrassment as kids from around the park began to gather to see what had happened, and out of wonder what that smell was.

"Hey, look!" one random boy shouted as he pointed at the third-grade bully, "Biff Bizowski just pooped in his shorts!"

"Eww! That's super gross!" another random boy said as he and a number of other kids began to point and laugh at the humiliated Biff, who proceeded to turn around and run away, crying out of embarrassment. After Biff was gone and the gathered kids began to disperse, Lucy got up and, while carefully avoiding the area where Biff soiled himself, walked over to her younger siblings.

"…I never made you any candy, Lisa," Lucy pointed out dryly.

"I know," Lisa replied, "That was a just a lie on my part. It was part of a gambit I pulled off in my plan to teach that oafish brute some humility."

"So, wait a minute there," Lana said with a confused look on her face, "Your plan was to trick Biff into eating candy that made him poop himself?" With an amused chuckle, Lana said, "Lisa, that was pretty funny."

"It was pretty gross," Lola stated.

"What are you going to do with the rest of that candy?" Lucy asked as she pointed to where the bag of candies laid, a good foot or so away from Biff's accident, "I mean, if anyone else-"

"I'm going to keep the rest of it," Lisa stated, "I'm still working on the laxative candy, and it would never do if I left a prototype out where it could potentially cause trouble."

"Well alright," Lana said as she pumped a fist into the air, "Biff's been humiliated, so now he's not going to want to show his face anytime soon!"

Taking out a vial that was closed off with a cork, along with a thin wooden tongue depressor that could fit in the vial, Lisa said as she approached where Biff had his accident, "Now all I need to do is gather a sample so I can study the effects of someone having taken some of the laxative candy as it currently is right now."

"EWWWWW!" Lola exclaimed in disgust.

END, RESTORED IMAGE CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Author's notes:

I figured that a breather/filler chapter was called for, especially since I've been wanting to show some behavior from the Loud girls that is present in the series proper. Also, I've been wanting to show a chapter where there's a problem that the Loud girls are able to handle by themselves without getting Lincoln involved. Anywho, the next chapter should see more development when it comes to Lincoln learning to forgive his family. And before anyone says anything, in regards to the line about Lynn letting the rush of winning a big game get the better of her, she was so excited about winning that game that she acted without thinking, causing an accident that she apologized for right away.

Think you know which sister Lincoln will forgive next? Vote now on your phones.
