Lana's Call
Lana Loud was many things. A grease monkey, Mudzilla, The Queen of Risks, the family's handywoman, etc. It was a rare sight for Lana to be in a dress. As far as she remembers, she only wore a dress for three different occasions. The first was when she had to be her twin stand-in at a pageant with the winner getting tickets to Dairyland. The second time was at her High school prom, despite the twins wearing different outfits they were still stunning. Skipper despite him not caring if she came dressed or not were at a loss for words. And the third was for her wedding. Leni had made wedding dresses for Lori Luan, Lynn and herself as well as Ronnie Anne's dress. Now she made one for her younger sister and it was stunning to say at least.
For the past two years. The mud-loving woman was depressed. Not for her frog hops or the many pets, she kept passing away due to the natural life cycle, but for her own brother.
Lana, like everyone else, was upset and disappointed. Upset that the man she knew as her kind and friendly brother would leave with another woman. Disappointed that he would leave his two children behind without saying goodbye or even giving them a call. That was a month after Lucy called her, and told her the truth.
With this revolution, she came to terms on why he left.
He had a crappy marriage.
With an even crappier wife.
And she was involved with him leaving.
Lana wasn't the first one to notice, but she did notice the mistreatment he suffered. And part of her blamed herself for being a part of it. The way he ran away, she couldn't blame him. She would do the same thing if she was in a crappy marriage. She just hopes that her brother is alright, wherever he is.
To the family, he was a piece of trash.
But to her, he was a treasure that can't be replaced.
She did blow up on her twin Lola for all the things she did to him. She counters with all the things she did to him as well, it wasn't much like her, but she was right. When he did show proof of Ronnie's infidelity she along with the rest of the family didn't believe him, siding with Ronnie by agreeing with Lori and Rita's statement. "You should have been a better husband."
Those words hunted her. Lincoln did his best to please her. He did everything to make that bitch happy. But it wasn't enough for her. He showed her love, and she took it and shredded it like it was nothing but useless paper.
The worst part was that she played a hand in her brother's misery, and throughout the two years she mourned for being a terrible sister
It was Lana's day off. She was just lazing around the two-bedroom apartment she shared with her soon to be husband Skippy. There was nothing to do. No leaking pipes, no broken appliances, no clog toilet, nothing. It was a boring day for Lana Loud. Skippy was with her, his arms wrapped around her shoulder. The two were watching a natural show on the flat-screen T.V. Though as interesting as it is to watch a crocodile lunch itself out of the water, snatch and pull an unexpected zebra into the murky depths she had other things on her mind.
It wasn't her fiance.
But her only brother Lincoln.
She really did miss him.
Lana hated how the others treated him.
Especially Lola and Ronnie Anna.
"Still thinking of him?" Skippy asked, looking at his fiance.
"Yea, it's just that. . .I really miss him." Lana said causing her fiance to frown. Skippy knew about her family's treatment of the sole Loud boy. And truth be told, he actually likes his soon to be brother-in-law. The two when she introduces him to become friends, they play games together and talk about various stuff from shows, to upcoming games at the time. Lincoln even asked him big brother questions and even threatened if he ever hurt his sister.
Skippy took that threat to heart. He too would beat himself up if he broke Lana's heart.
That and after hearing the stories on what Lincoln went though he was scared that Lana's sisters would do the same thing.
"Hey, I know what would cheer you up." Skippy said with an all-knowing grin. "Why don't we go down to Burping Burgers, grab us some Messy Burgers and tease your sister." This always made Lana feel better, knowing her sister dirty laundry was out for everyone to see. Did she deserve it? Yeah after all the blackmailing she did just to benefit herself. Of course, she didn't have to but she did enjoy watching her sister doing a sloppy job at making greasy food. Especially making burgers.
"Yea." Lana spoke in a whisper.
Ring ring ring
Lana's phone rings showing an unknown number. This question the two couples, wondering if it is the wrong number. Lana picks it up, and answers.
"Hello?"
"Lana is that you?" The man asked.
"Um Yes, who is this?"
"It's me, Lincoln." Lana gasps at this.
"L-L-Lincoln is it really you. Is this some kind of prank call?" Skippy raises a brow at this. He believed this was a prank.
"No Lana it's really me. I know we haven't spoken in two years. And from what Lucy and Lilly told me, You really want to hear my voice."
"More than anything! How are you? What are you doing? When can I see you? There so much I want to tell you?" Lana began to talk but her voice cracked, everything she did to her only brother. Skippy knew what was about to happen, so he got up and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"I'm fine, Jordan is fine, I was about to do some animation for some new episodes for Ace Detectives, and decided to call you."
"Linc... .I-I-I'm sorry for how I treated you. I know you may hate me. And I deserved it. Bu-but I want to see you again so badly."
"Lans." Lincoln cut her off. "I don't hate you. I never hated you, nor the others."
"But the things we did to you."
"I have forgiven you, Lily, Lucy, Leni, Luna, and Luan. What happened to me, I admit you had your hand in it, but as time passed I came to realize that holding onto that anger and hate isn't healthy for anyone." Lincoln stated only to hear his sister crying on the other line.
"W-W-Why are you so forgiving. Yo-yo-you should hate us, despites us, yet. You're willing to forgive us. All of us." If it wasn't for Skippy holding her, she would most likely run in her room, and ball her eyes out. "None of us deserved a brother who is sweet as you." Skippy at this point grabs the phone from his soon to be wife. Letting her release the years of emotions that have been eating away at her.
"Hey Linc, It's me, Skippy, sorry Lana have been really depressed lately.."
"It's fine, I understand. How have you been? Have you been taking care of Lans well?" Skippy knew this question was coming, and he was used to it. Lana's brother really does love his sisters and wants to see them happy.
"Of course I have been taking care of her. She's my everything, she's my oil to my engine, the grease to my food, and other stuff."
"Ok ok I get it. I take your word."
"Anyway We're getting married in a couple of days, It makes my little Greasemonkey here happy if you and your wife come."
"I know, I'm kind of surprised that Lans is getting married. And as much as I love to see my little sister and walk down the aisle in a wedding dress no less I can't." Upon hearing this Lana grabs the phone from her soon to be husband, and begins to scream.
"WHY?!" The older twin yelled, nearly making her brother deaf on the other line.
"Lana, no need to yell. I have the phone right to my ear." Lincoln said, scolding his sister. "And there are a couple of reasons I can't make it. One; I have to fly out to Nevada for a meeting for that new Ace Savvy movie. Then I have to be back for the baby me and Jordan are having."
"Wait you're having another baby!?"
"Lana inside voice, please."
"Sorry. But you're having another baby."
"Yea Jordan is eight months pregnant, and when I get back she'll be due." Lincoln then looked down. "Sorry I can't make it to your wedding, Lans."
"Hey that's ok bro, I'm just happy to hear your voice again."
"Anyway, what have you been up to? I hear you own your own shop."
"Indeed. I gave myself a day off tho, but business is booming. I even gave Vanzilla a new makeover, no engine, new tires, new seats, heck I even put in some new tech like a router so anyone can get internet, a mini-fridge, and a coffee maker."
"Hehe sounds nice." Lincoln commented.
"Wish you could see it Lincoln." Lana said in a sad tone.
"I wish so too Lana." Her brother said.
"You know before you called me and Skips was going down to the Burping Burger, get some Messy Burger."
"You don't make fun of Lola, like what Lucy does to Lynn? do you?"
"Well, a little."
"Lana."
"Ok ok I admit I do tease Lola, but she had it coming for a long time."
Lincoln just sighed. "Yes I know but you're better than that. She may have loss her career and as funny as it would be to see Lola cooking burgers you don't need to kick her when she's down."
"Fine. I guess you want me to say I'm sorry to her or something."
"Yes."
"You know I hate her right?"
"You don't have to forgive her. Just say you're sorry, that's all."
"Alright but if that big mouth bitch said anything bad about you, I swear I will hop over that counter and put her face down in the deep fryer." Lana declares only for her brother to chuckle. "Anyway, you're going to tell me where you're living? I want to see you before I go on my honeymoon."
"Alright, but you are not to tell anyone."
"Pfff the only sisters I talked to are Lucy, Lily, Leni, Luna, and Luna. Speaking of which, you know Luna went full-on religion on us?"
"Lucy told me. Still surprising."
"Speaking of Lucy. I should thank her."
"Why?" Lincoln asked with his tilted his head to the side.
"Well, she told me about why you ran away. And well I just remember the whole wedding. How sad you looked, and the proof that Ronnie Anne was cheating on you."
"You're not going to tell me Bobby and Reina aren't mine are you?"
"I'm not a super genius like Lisa, but with the amount of times she fucked Chandler I wouldn't be surprised."
"Still they are my kids."
"Linc, you are the most sweetest guy I know. Yes, you have flaws, we all have them, but Ronnie Anne is a dumb bitch who is too blind to see what a great man you become. And I know that someday she'll regret losing someone as kind as you." Lana ensures him.
"Thanks Lans."
"Don't worry about it." Lana smiled.
"As much I would enjoy making up lost time with you, Lans I got to go."
"Hey, Linc."
"Yea Lans?"
"I, from the bottom of my heart, love you, big brother," Lana confessed.
"I love you too Lans, and I hope we can see each other again."
"Same here." She said before hanging up.
Burping Burger
The former Beauty Queen known as Lola Loud was behind the counter of the country famous burger shop desperately trying to flip a patty over. Her index and thumb shakey clench the spatula, which scraped the grill that was cooking the patty.
This was horrible.
She wasn't supposed to be here, making greasy fast food for the obesit customer that comes through the doors of the fast food establishment on a daily basis. Nor was she meant to clean the filthy tables that said customers left behind, or take out the trash, nor clean the dirty toilets.
That one was the worst.
Instead she should be walking down the runway, wearing one of her older retarded sister dresses which was somehow stunning. Winning the Miss America beauty pageant.
Instead, she was wearing a green polo shirt with a name tag that reads 'Hi My name is Lola'
Her blond hair shines like silk gold.
But now it was tied in a bun with a hair net over it.
She should be walking on the red carpet with some a-list celebrity as her lover. Cameras flashing as her picture was plaster all over magazines.
Instead she was mopping the floors of a fast food joint. She wasn't even in a photo of an Employee of the month that hung on the corner of the walls.
She was going to be famous, like her sisters Luan, Luna, and somehow Leni.
Men want to date her, women want to be like her, but some are of course the envious type and wish to see her fall from grace.
Well that wish was granted.
She wanted to kill her younger sister, Lisa, for ruining her life by showing audio clips of her blackmailing the judges.
She wants to kill the people for tatling on her about the tests she 'passes'.
She wants to kill her brother for running away the way he did. Lincoln did make a good pageant couch. She would never understand why he left. Of course, she would go to the arms of another man. Lincoln was a poor excuse of a husband and a father. The house the two live in was sparkling clean. And the food wasn't as good as her father, but it was edible. It was not her fault Ronnie Anne didn't like his cooking. Lola would've hired some people, beat him, killed whoever Lincoln was with and dragged his limb body back to Royal Wood and back to Ronnie Anne if Lisa wasn't so useless.
But the one person she wanted to kill was her older twin sister Lana.
Even though none of it was her fault but since Day one that mud queen had been dragging her down. Anything she loves, Lola despites.
Her older twin was as popular as her. She only entered one pageant and that was for Dairyland tickets and that was it. She never entered a pageant after that. Yep, people would sometimes confuse her with Lana and vice versa.
Lola was clean.
Lana wasn't.
Lola loved shiny things.
Lana loved gross things.
Lola was princess Katana.
Lana was Mileena.
Lana throughout her childhood, and even to her adulthood wore a red hat.
Lola wore a tiara.
The two may look the same but they were polar opposite from each other. Let people who first met them were confused.
Now the former beauty queen works at a fast food restaurant making minimum wage while getting her G.E.D while her sister owns her very own business and most likely making fifty times the amount of money she was making.
And the worst thing was that she was getting married to her childhood sweetheart. And she wasn't invited. Her. The most beautiful sister wasn't even invited to her twin wedding. Granted she wouldn't show up to her sister's gross wedding anyway.
Lola sighed. After getting her G.E.D she'll just go to college and from there she'll do something. Maybe an actress yea. Luna can do it, surely she can.
She also flipped the burger to the other side, like it or not she needed this job. Sure there were other jobs she could find. All the others just wanted her to do things like cut grass, pick up trash, and other things her sister would enjoy. That and she didn't want her boss to chew out her ass again.
Well, she's just happy that the noon rush was almost over, and she didn't have to see her again.
Lola could see both her and her stupid drity man laughing, watching her make the food, and failing to do so. She could just punch the two right in the face. She didn't care if she gets fired, or if Lana sues her and the company she works for. Lana was going to leave this place with a black eye.
And speaking of the devil.
Lana and her filthy fiance enter the shop.
This was it.
The couple walked over to the counter.
Lola stopped what she was doing and walked to the counter to take their orders.
'Go ahead sis. Say something, anything. I will end you, right here right now.'
"..."
"...Can I take your order?" Lola asked, forcing a smile on her face.
'This is it. Go on and laugh. Laugh about my position, laugh about my fall from grace. I don't care about this job. I'm Lola Loud, I can get any job I want. I can be a model, an actress, something that would get me back on the top. It will take time but the only things that are standing in my way to success is you and our dear brother Linky. So go on and laugh, I need a punching bag, Lana.'
"I'm sorry." Lana quietly said, shaking her fist.
"Wha?" Asked a shocked Lola.
"I'm sorry for making fun of you when you lost everything."Lana said looking into her sister's eyes, something she didn't expect to do. Lola was hoping for an insult, a joke at her own expense. Not an apology.
Lola shook her head. "Y-Yea. Yeah I guess I can accept your apology," Lola waved her hand." So what do you want? The usual I take it." Lola sighed.
With that Lincoln hung up and placed his phone down on the table.
"Are you sure you want to see them again?" Asked his pregnant wife who was standing behind him. She then sat next to the love of her life and placed her hand on his cheek. Her tone was a mix of worry.
"I'm sure. I don't want our daughter to hate her aunts and cousins." Lincoln said in a sad but understanding tone. "Even if it means she has to see those asswipes of parents."
Jordan whence at the tone in his voice, but she of all people understood his frustration. They never supported him until the truth came out from what her husband told her. She still hates the sister with the exception of Lucy for all the crap he went though, and it just utterly destroys her seeing her beloved depressed in middle and high school. Hell he couldn't even be friends with any other female students without his sister accusing him of cheating.
"Honey I love you but if one of those bitches hurt Serenity."
"They won't, and I won't stop you if Ronnie Anne, Lori, Lynn, and Lola insult her."
"The slut who made your life miserable is going to be there? Why?"
"Simple. I want to know if Bobby and Renia are really mine. I mean I want to believe those two are mine but I have doubts." The topic of his kids not being his was really hurting him. Deep inside Jordan really hoped that the twins weren't his. That he had taken care of another man's kids without realizing it.
Instead of telling her what was on her mind, she just hugged him.
The two held each other in their arms.
Until it was time for Lincoln to fix dinner.
I think this is a good place to end this chapter. Lincoln had forgiven most of his sisters, other than Lori, Lynn, and Lola. His parents. . .yea that would come later.
So I figure ten chapters will be good enough for this story.
Next time we'll see what Leni is doing and how this conversation between the man with the plan and the dizzy blond will turn out.
Again I'm still debating on whether to redeem Lori, Lynn, and Lola, and I'm tiling on redeeming two.
