I should have mentioned this in the beginning of the first chapter that most episodes wont either appear in this story or written differently.
Upstairs in his bedroom Lincoln quickly dialed his friend Clyde's home phone number on his cell phone. He would have used his Face Time account but Sundays were designated a screen free day by Clyde's two dads meaning all electronic devices except his walkie-talkie were off limits until 12 a.m. Monday morning. Clyde was walking by the house phone on the living room on his way for a walk in the park and answered after reading the caller ID.
"Hi Lincoln, what's going on," he greeted.
"Say Clyde I have some bad news, well it sounds more like good news for us but bad news for my sisters," he said in a hurried tone.
Clyde knitted his brows in confusion, 'What are you rambling on about?" he quiered.
'Lori just called to tell us she received an email from the casting director she left her email address with after we left the convention. Apparently he contacted people around our town to do some background checks on us. Mayor Davis told him about getting banned from the community pool and supermarket, Lynn cheating at the Astonishing Quest last year, Lana and I kidnapping those frogs from school, and Lori damaging school property with the golf cart. They've decided to cancel our roles in the movie because they don't think we represent the right image for the Ace Savvy franchise," Lincoln explained.
Clyde kept silent for a moment before speaking, "Well it doesn't matter to me, least we don't have to be pooper scoopers anymore."
'Thank goodness for that," Lincoln replied.
"I'll tell my dads, we could hang out later," Clyde said.
"Nah, I prefer staying home today, see ya tomorrow, buddy," Lincoln ended the call.
"See you tomorrow then bye," Clyde replied before hanging up the receiver.
Lincoln placed his phone on his dresser before picking up one of his comics to read.
Meanwhile downstairs as Lola continued cooling down in her bedroom the other sisters watched the Dessert Storm marathon but somehow their enthusiasm had waned caused by the shocking news Lori delivered to them just minutes ago.
Silently, Luna rose and headed upstairs. When the parents arrived home a bit later they found the girls with the exception of Lynn Jr. who was shooting hoops in the backyard and Lucy wherever she was hiding, on the couch looking rather melancholic, causing the parents to have worried expression on their faces.
"Why do you girls look like Dream Boat was cancelled or something?" Lynn Sr. asked with concern.
Luan looked at her parents and blurted out, "Lori called us and said she received an email from the casting director of the movie and wrote that we're not appearing in the movie because they did background checks of us."
"He found that we got banned from the community pool and supermarket, what happened at the high school with Lori and the golf cart and Lana and Lincoln kidnapping the frogs, and Lynn cheating at the Astonishing Quest competition, so that's why they rejected us for the movie," Leni continued.
The parents exchanged surprised looks at each other, then their father turned back to his daughters.
"Well I know how to cheer you up, we bought dinner at Aloha Comrade," Lynn Sr. said.
Only Luan and Lana smiled at the mention of dinner from the restaurant Lynn Sr. worked at before starting his own restaurant.
"I'm so sorry kids," Rita sympathized.
The parents departed and placed the bags on the kitchen counter, then relaxed by taking a short snooze in their bedroom before dinnertime.
###########################################################################
Dinner time rolled around and the Louds sat around the dining table enjoying their favorite dinner from Aloha Comrade. Almost when everyone finished eating Luan made an important announcement.
"Guys I have something you'd be glad to hear, I've decided to retire permanently from my prank apocalypse on April Fool's Day. Ever since you tricked me last year by pretending we had to move to another town it just made me lose interest in putting you through all that every year," Luan said.
Instead of reacting in joyful celebration as others would expect upon hearing such good news, the others remained in stunned silence, but Lynn Sr smiled in relief.
"Luan I'm glad you've decided to turn over a new leaf," Rita commented giving a little smile of her own.
"Come on Mom, I don't believe her,' Lola snapped.
'To be honest, me neither," Luna admitted being just as skeptical as her siblings.
Lisa remained strangely quiet, then squinted her eyes, thinking deeply.
"Family, there's one way that could prove our resident comedian isn't lying through her braces. A few months ago I created these special goggles that can detect if someone is lying or telling the truth. I was going to utilize them when everyone went through a lying spree but we became preoccupied with Lori and Lincolns upcoming graduations so I stowed them away," Lisa announced.
Before anyone could respond, Lisa departed from the room and returned three minutes later wearing a pair of thick green rimmed goggles.
As her family glanced at her in astonishment, Lisa stood next to Luan and asked, "Luan are you're giving up your horrendous pranking you do every year on April Fool's?"
"Yes, I've decided to give it up permanently," Luan replied.
Suddenly a flash of yellow light and a buzzing sound emitted from the goggles Lisa wore making the little genius smirk before removing the gadget from her eyes.
"Luan's definitely telling the truth," Lisa admitted.
With sighs of relief coming from all Luan's siblings and the parents, Lynn Sr rose from his chair and went into the kitchen to get strawberry shortcake for dessert. Later that evening the kids readied themselves for bed.
The rest of the week continued smoothly until Thursday came around. As Lola and Lana watched TV while the other siblings were occupied. Lynn Sr. completed the finishing touches to the evening meal. Soon Lynn summoned the kids for dinner in his usual manner.
After laying the tray of food on the table, he glanced around the table and noticed someone missing, Lola.
"Where's Lola?" he inquired.
"Oh she's watching TV," Lana said nonchalantly, getting eager to dig into the meatloaf dinner.
Lynn Sr. sighed a bit before heading into the living room and stood in front of his daughter.
"Lola come dinner is ready," Lynn Sr told her.
"Oh just put mine on a plate and bring it here," Lola said dismissively, her eyes still glued to the television despite the fact is was an episode of a cartoon about a princess she watched before.
"Lola the rule is we all eat dinner together," he gently reminded her.
Rita who stayed behind at work a bit later, entered the house and overheard the conversation unfolding between father and daughter.
Rita approached the pair, looking clearly displeased with her daughter's appalling behavior.
"Lola, you're eating dinner with everyone else," Rita declared sternly but Lola refused to budge an inch.
Her husband suddenly getting a surge of determination he rarely showed with his daughters stretched his right arm towards Lola and clutched her right arm by the elbow.
"Let's go honey," he urged but something unexpected and violent happened.
Showing a furious and defiant expression on her face, in one bold move Lola suddenly bit down on her father's hand.
"OWWW," Lynn Sr. shrieked in pain and quickly withdrew his hand.
Rita gasped in utter shock while Lynn Sr. dashed upstairs to treat his injury while wincing in pain. The spot Lola bit had a large bite mark and had turned red.
At this time Rita's face contorted into absolute rage as the other kids became curious and gathered in the living room to investigate.
"LOLA I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D BITE YOUR FATHER, WHATS WRONG WITH YOU," she yelled.
The others jaws dropped to the floor in utter disbelief as Lola remained dumbstruck at her actions as her mother continued angrily.
"Lola I'm taking your princess jeep away for a month, and no tea parties, dessert and TV for two weeks. Go upstairs and think about your actions. I'll bring you dinner," Rita commanded.
With Lola's head hanging quite low it could almost reach the floor, Rita continued frowning at the little girl as she walked towards the stairs. The other children still unnerved about Lola's violent act towards their father returned to their seats.
Rita washed her hands in the kitchen sink then carried a tray into the dining room and placed Lola's plate, knife and fork on the tray before dishing out a piece of meatloaf then mashed potatoes and green peas on the plate.
Rita approached the twin's bedroom as she carried the tray with Lola's dinner. Rita balanced the tray in the palm of her left hand and gently pushed open the door and found Lola laying on her bed reading a fashion magazine. Rita gently placed the tray on the table Lola conducted her tea parties and addressed the seven year old.
'Dad made meatloaf and mashed potatoes," Rita declared but received no response.
An uncomfortable silence followed before Rita spoke again as Lola continued reading with her eyes glued to her magazine.
"Look at me Lola," Rita began sternly prompting the pink wearing girl to give her undivided attention, "You shouldn't have bitten your father, you have to control your temper because one day you might act violent to the wrong person and they attack you so badly you end up in the hospital."
The silence from Lola continued so Rita whose hunger pangs were getting stronger said one more thing.
"You'll apologize to your father later," Rita told her daughter before making her getaway.
Before she managed to leave however, the door opened and in walked Lynn Sr. now sporting some gauze wrapped around the bitten arm which Lola noticed instantly.
"Lola,' her father started as he approached his daughter.
"I'm sorry for biting you daddy," Lola said solemnly while looking at him directly in his eyes, feeling a twinge of guilt.
Lynn Sr. smiled a bit nervously at Lola before replying, "I accept your apology," then both parents made their getaway.
Later that night, after the kids finished their nightly rituals for school tomorrow and were now their beds Rita and Lynn Sr. were likewise laying in her bed when Lynn entered the room after ensuring everyone was safe and sound by checking all doors and windows.
