It has now been months since the snow day plan incident. It was a nice, quiet, Saturday morning and everyone was doing what they liked to do. Lincoln was racing Lynn to the bathroom however.
"Need a boost to the bathroom, Lincoln?!" Hercules called out as he saw the situation Lincoln was in.
"Please!" Lincoln replied.
"Hey, no fair!" Lynn glared.
Hercules soon catapulted Lincoln to the bathroom.
"Whoo-hoo!" Lincoln cheered.
CRASH!
"I'm okay..." Lincoln called back before shutting the door.
"Whew." Hercules sighed.
The others then continued to do their usual stuff. Today was a normal, typical Saturday in the Loud House. Hercules zipped to Zoe as she had trouble sleeping, then put on noise cancelling headphones over his sister's ears before she then drifted off back to sleep and he breathed in relief.
"That was close." Hercules sighed.
"She still asleep?" Lisa asked.
"If Zoe doesn't get her sleep over the weekend, we all pay." Hercules warned.
"Oh, please, I doubt she'll be dangerous if she doesn't get enough sleep." Lisa scoffed.
"Trust me, I know what I'm talking about." Hercules replied as Zoe slept the weekend away.
Lisa was about to take the headphones off Zoe's head.
"Don't!" Hercules replied.
"What could happen?" Lisa scoffed as she then grabbed the headphones and took them off and made them drop on the floor to make a sound.
Hercules soon showed three of his fingers before counting them down. Zoe zipped up with a glare. Lisa's eyes widened.
"Noise? NOISE?!" Zoe growled. "I REQUIRE SLEEP!"
"And this is what you have awakened." Hercules said to Lisa.
Zoe glared at Lisa and grabbed her and shoved her against the wall. "You have waken me..."
"Sorry." Lisa gulped.
Zoe breathed heavily. Hercules came up behind Zoe and gave her a nerve pinch.
"Feeling numb now..." Zoe droned before passing out.
Hercules soon placed the headphones back on Zoe's ears. Lisa blinked and Hercules then left the room with her and shut the door as Lincoln came out of the bathroom in rather shock.
"Lincoln, you okay?" Hercules asked.
"I just heard my parents talking through the vent and they wanna get rid of us!" Lincoln replied.
"That's ridiculous." Hercules said.
"I heard them through the vent!" Lincoln insisted. "Mom said eleven is just too much!"
"But there are now thirteen of us." Lisa said.
"What's going on?" Lori asked.
"Mom and Dad wanna get rid of us!" Lincoln told her.
This seemed to catch all of the girls' attention.
"That is literally the dumbest thing you have ever said." Lori scoffed to her brother.
"Yeah, why would they wanna get rid of us?" Lynn added.
Lincoln showed them the damage, nay, the destruction they have caused in the hallway and a coyote trying to make off with Mr. Coconuts. The coyote noticed the kids, dropped Mr. Coconuts, and then left.
"Oh." The girls then replied.
"I'm sure they are use to this." Hercules said.
"Whatever," Lori rolled her eyes. "This is a waste of valuable texting time."
"Come on, I'm serious!" Lincoln insisted. "Come listen for yourselves."
They were then in the bathroom next to the vent.
"But I thought you loved them?" Lynn Sr said to his wife.
"Frankly, dear, I didn't like the first one," Rita replied. "And the next thing I know, we've got eleven." And where Lori and Hercules couldn't believe what they heard.
Lori felt very struck and unhappy. "IT'S TRUE! MOM AND DAD ARE GETTING RID OF US!" she then announced to the sisters which made them all panic suddenly.
"I'm gonna go down there and give them a piece of my mind!" Lola furiously stormed away, going to the stairs.
"Are you crazy?" Hercules asked as he stopped her.
"Quiet down..." Lincoln shushed.
"I'm gonna lose my princess bed!" Lola replied. "Don't you tell me to quiet down!"
"Yelling isn't really going to help." Hercules said.
"That's what got us in trouble in the first place." Lincoln agreed.
"The boys are right," Lori nodded in equal agreement for once. "We have to be quiet, and perfectly well behaved."
"If we all work together, maybe we can convince Mom and Dad not to get rid of us," Lincoln decided. "Now who's with me?"
"WE ARE!" The sisters replied, then realized how loud that sounded and then quieted down a little. "We are..."
"Wait, isn't Zoe going to help?" Lola asked.
"She's busy sleeping," Hercules said. "And trust me, you do not want to disturb her from her sleep."
"I've experienced it myself." Lisa shuddered.
The others looked into the room as Zoe was sound asleep and was now snoring with her noise cancelling headphones.
"Oh, please, she can't be that scary." Lola said rolling her eyes before going into the room.
Hercules sighed to that. Zoe smiled as she was peacefully asleep. Lola soon took off Zoe's headphones and let them drop. Zoe's eye flash opened. LOla scoffed as she just stood there and was then suddenly held up against the wall.
"How dare you disturb my slumber?" Zoe snarled to the pageant princess of the Loud house.
Lola soon went wide-eyed as she could now see how dangerous Zoe was when she was disturbed. Hercules tapped his foot as Lola was being scared for a change instead of the one doing the scaring.
Lola smiled nervously. "Erm... Uh... I know a lullaby from one of my pageants?"
Hercules soon shook his head before came behind Zoe and gave her a nerve pinch again before placing the headphones back on her ears.
"I can't save the water supply without pickles..." Zoe muttered before going back to her bed and drifting off again.
"Do you believe us now?" Lisa asked.
"Okay, Zoe will have to stay out of this one." Lola then said as they let Zoe continue to sleep the weekend away.
The others then decided to change themselves a bit so their parents wouldn't kick them out and where they were doing rather well.
Lynn was gluing a vase back together. Lisa created a chemical which made a bouquet of flowers for the vase. Luna sighed as she packed away her guitar as Luan put away her dummy and became a mime. And where Lori was now sharing her sweater with Leni. Lisa was mopping the ceiling with anti gravity shoes. Lucy sighed deeply into the mirror and cleaned it. Hercules even helped by making sure the floor was spotless. Lily suddenly started to cry, but Luan distracted her with her mime skills.
Leni then walked in. "Oh, my gosh, Luan, are you okay?!" she then panicked. "HELP, GUYS! I THINK LUAN'S TRAPPED!"
"She's pretending to be trapped inside a box." Hercules explained.
"Oh..." Leni then said while Lily clapped and laughed.
"Ladies first!" Lana yelled out as she stood with Lola as they both acted nice to each other even though Lincoln was right behind them and needed the bathroom.
"No, dear twin, after you!" Lola replied.
"You're too kind, dear Lola, but I must insist you go first."
"I shan't hear of it!"
"And I would never forgive myself if I went before you!"
"Oh, please! Age before beauty! You are two minutes older!"
"Uh, girls, I think Lincoln needs to use the bathroom before he goes in his pants." Hercules said as he saw Lincoln looking like he was trying to hold it in.
"Oh, dear brother!" The Loud twins then decided. "You go first!"
"Thanks, guys, thanks, Herc!" Lincoln said before zipping into the bathroom.
"That was a close one." Hercules sighed.
"Guys, Mom and Dad are at the vent again." Lincoln told the others.
The Loud sisters and Hercules then came into the bathroom.
"Okay, maybe I judged them unfairly," Rita told her husband. "Forget what I said about getting rid of all of them."
"Wahoo!" Hercules cheered.
"It worked!" Lori cheered.
"We did it!" Lola and Lana smiled to each other. "We get to stay!"
"Oh, joy," Lucy droned. "What a relief."
"Speaking of relief, everyone out, please." Lincoln then said once he remembered why he came in here.
"Oh, right, everyone out." Hercules said.
The others then left and Leni followed the 'imaginary rope' that Luan was using. Lincoln then went to have his privacy. Hercules opened the door to check on his sister and she was still sound asleep. To his relief, she wasn't disturbed.
Hercules then set Zoe up slightly, turned over her pillow to make it nice and cool and fluffed it up, then set it down and let her fall back down on it, totally zonked out and fast asleep in the world of slumber. He then saw Lincoln rushing downstairs. "Linc?!" he then asked before covering his mouth as Zoe slowly lifted up behind him and he looked back nervously.
"How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon...?" Zoe asked, still obviously dazed from her slumber.
"Uh, three and a half?" Hercules smiled nervously.
Zoe smiled back before then falling back on her pillow and snoring as she fell right back asleep. Hercules soon quietly left the room before closing the door after him. He then breathed in relief as Zoe slept her weekend away.
Lincoln was making a nice breakfast, mostly for his father.
"Lincoln, why are you making breakfast?" Hercules asked as he came into the kitchen.
"Oh! Uhh..." Lincoln smiled nervously. "Just delivering a treat for the old man."
"Lincoln, what did you overhear this time?" Hercules asked.
Lincoln sighed as he couldn't lie to Hercules. 'Fine... Dad said we won't all get kicked out, one of us gets to stay, but Mom says he has to pick his favorite."
"Favorite?" Hercules asked, confused.
"Mom said he could keep his favorite." Lincoln shrugged.
Hercules had another thought in mind though as he went to see his own father.
Atlas hummed as he was cleaning up his and Nicole's room.
"Uh, Dad?" Hercules called gently. "Can we talk?"
"Sure, son!" Atlas replied. "Uh, it's not about girls, is it?"
"No, it's about what's going on with Mr. Loud." Hercules said.
"Ohh, he must be finally getting rid of those neck ties." Atlas said.
Hercules then got confused. "Erm... His ties?"
"Yeah, they're driving his wife crazy," Atlas chuckled. "I mean, that guy has more ties than I do! I wouldn't have eleven ties even if I was a lawyer."
"You mean they've been talking about ties?" Hercules asked.
"Well, of course, what did you think they were talking about?" Atlas replied.
"Lincoln and the girls." Hercules said.
"Oh, Herc," Atlas chuckled. "Parents don't have favorites like that... Well... Actually, your mom and I do."
"You do?" Hercules asked.
"Yes, you're our favorite son and Zoe is our favorite daughter." Atlas replied.
"Whew." Hercules sighed.
Atlas chuckled and ruffled up his son's hair.
"I better tell Lincoln and the girls then." Hercules said.
"How's your sister?" Atlas asked.
"Still asleep, we'll see her on Monday." Hercules said on the way out.
"That's a relief." Nicole sighed.
"Yes, it is." Atlas agreed as they cleaned up their new room together.
Hercules soon rushed to the Loud siblings. He hoped he could stop their madness before it would be too late. Unfortunately, he was wrong.
"I don't know," Lynn Sr suggested. "Maybe I'll keep the musical one."
Luna then smiled triumphantly.
"Are you kidding?" Rita scoffed. "That one makes my ears bleed."
"Way harsh, Mom." Luna frowned.
"Well, I definitely don't need the dark one," Lynn Sr replied. "So dreary. Good for a funeral, but what else, really? Right?"
Lucy gasped as she felt betrayed. Lynn laughed at her goth sister.
"How about the one with the hockey sticks?" Lynn Sr then suggested.
"Eh, never been a fan," Rita replied which then made Lynn gasp. "Same with the filthy one."
Lana simply pouted after hearing that.
"How about the funny one?" Lynn Sr suggested.
Luan smiled brightly.
"Never made me laugh." Rita scoffed again.
Luan then pouted and made herself cry.
"Uh, guys?" Hercules spoke up.
"Ugh, now the pink one I can definitely do without." Lynn Sr said.
Lola growled. "You will PAY FOR THIS!"
"Guys!" Hercules tried again.
"And the littlest one is crying to be thrown out." Rita then said which made Lily put in her pacifier and grow into a fetal position.
"Looks like I have to do the one thing that just might work but also might wake up Zoe," Hercules said before taking a deep breath before yelling. "GUYS, THEY ARE NOT GETTING RID OF ANY OF YOU, THEY JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE OF HIS TIES TO GET RID OF!"
The others then looked to Hercules. Hercules panted and sighed as he finally got that off his chest.
"Wait, you mean they've been talking about ties?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, my dad told me," Hercules nodded. "You're all worrying over nothing."
"Whew!" The Loud siblings sighed.
Hercules smiled until he felt a cold chill behind him and turned around to see Zoe who was disturbed from her slumber. Hercules soon smiled nervously as he should have seen this coming. Zoe growled, that was three strikes.
Hercules sighed. "Whatever you wanna do, just get it over with."
Later that night, Zoe kept Hercules awake by playing the saxophone horribly without letting him sleep.
"This is understandable." Hercules sighed.
Zoe smirked as she was punishing Hercules.
"Note to self: Never yell that loud again." Hercules muttered.
The next week...
"Pleasant dreams, Zozo..." Hercules smiled to his twin sister as it was Saturday again and he made sure nothing would bother her this week around and where nothing would disturb Zoe from her sleep this time.
Somehow, Geo flushed the toilet and left with a roll of toilet paper stuck to his ball as Lincoln made it into the bathroom.
"How was Geo able to do that?" Hercules asked, confused.
"Oh, you didn't know?" Lana replied. "I trained him how to use the toilet. Gives me one less pet to worry about when it's time for chores."
"So, do all of you switch chores once a week like how me and Zoe used to?" Hercules asked.
"What?" the others asked as though they had never heard of such a thing.
"Wait, your parents don't change the chores around so then it's fair that everyone does each chore?" Hercules asked.
"We all do individual chores," Lisa replied. "I pay the bills."
"Yeah, but doesn't it make it kind of unfair for any of you to keep doing the same chore everyday?" Hercules asked.
"I hate taking out the trash." Lincoln replied.
"Mind if I help with taking it out?" Hercules asked.
Lincoln smiled. "I don't see why not."
"Besides, I doubt the trash will be that bad." Hercules said.
"You'll find out when it's time for chores..." Lincoln sighed.
"I'll take my chances." Hercules replied.
