After coming home from what seemed like 2 days of working without leaving of breaks at all, Rita and Lynn Sr were sitting in a taxi, Lynn in the shotgun seat and Rita in the backseat, while an elderly taxi driver goes at an alarmingly slow rate. At which point, the driver himself decides to break the ice and bring in some conversation.

Driver:"So...nice weather we're having, huh?"

Rita:"Eh, not really. That downpour we had yesterday made my job a little slow. I was just sitting at the dental office doing nothing."

Lynn Sr:"Same here. I feel like we haven't been to our house in two days."

Rita:"That's because we actually haven't, hon. The rain forced us to lock ourselves in our own places of business and we had been forced to stay awake until it passes."

Lynn Sr:"Oh yeah. Sorry, I'm just so tired that I have been forgetting a few things."

Rita:"Welp, it's a good thing that we're giving ourselves a chance to sleep for the next two days."

Driver:"I know...I know exactly how you two feel. These past two days haven't been so good to me either. In fact, it was just this morning when-"

And then, he fell asleep at the wheel and the taxi began to head off course.

Lynn Sr:"Uh oh."

Rita:"Uh, sir?! Wake up! Now!"

Lynn Sr:"I'm taking the wheel!"

And then, Lynn panickingly steered back on the road as they tried to figure out how to stop. A little while later, they managed to get the parked off to the sidewalk, and were now forced to walk a short way home.

Rita:"That had to be the lousiest ride home I ever had."

Lynn Sr:"Just be glad we made it out of there in one peace."

Rita:"More or less."

It was a short walk to their house, and it was no surprise the kids forgot to lock the door...again.

Lynn Sr:"Oh, for crying out loud. How hard is it to lock a door?"

Rita:"Honey, give it a break."

And upon walking in, the heard the sound of splashing right below their feet. They looked to see the floor was wet and the water splashed onto their shoes.

Lynn Sr:"Aw, nuts."

Hearing some snoring, Rita walks pass him and heads upstairs.

Lynn Sr:"Any more surprises?"

Rita:"Uh, just one."

Heading over to see where his wife went off to, they could see that Lily was taking a nap in her crib.

Rita:"Our kids left Lily here all alone!"

Lynn Sr:"I am going to teach them a lesson when they get back. Wherever they are."

Rita:"Well, at least Lily's safe."

Lynn Sr:"Yeah, but really. Where is everybody?"

Rita:"I'm sure they'll turn sooner or later."

Lynn Sr:"Yeah. For now, I'm gonna go mop up the water downstairs."

With her husband head back down into the living room, Rita keeps watching over Lily, who then wakes up soon after. She happily reaches out to her mother after having not seen her in a while, to which Rita gently picks her up and carries her. Lily joyfully kisses her mother on the cheek, which Rita enjoys a lot.

Lynn Sr:"Uh...Rita? You might wanna come down and see this."

Hearing her husband's voice made her downstairs with Lily as she then sees Lynn Sr staring at their destroyed computer. The screen was glitching like crazy, having a crack big enough that looks like someone punched it. It was also sparking and making static sounds.

Rita:"Oh my gosh. Who could've done this?"

Lynn Sr:"I don't know, but I'm hoping that whoever did it didn't steal anything our hurt our baby."

Rita:"Honey, look. It says something on the screen."

He turns to see that the screen was coming into focus and showing the message from Lincoln's school. At first, they were shocked by what they were reading, but that soon turned to anger.

Lynn Sr:"Lincoln, you are so dead."

Rita:"When I find that boy, he's gonna be so grounded, I'm literally going to bury him!"

Both Lynn and Lily looked at Rita with cringe and fear.

Rita:"Oh, don't worry, Lily. I'm just gonna teach Lincoln a little lesson. One he'd not soon forget."

That helped very little to sooth Lily's nervse as they stormed out and began to search for their son. Since the van was nowhere to be found, they were forced to go on foot, and couldn't afford to leave Lily home alone again...

Meanwhile, Vanzilla was heading back to the house, having Lori behind the wheel and Leni in the passenger seat.

Lori:"So, did you have fun, Leni?"

Leni:"Oh definitely. We should head back their soon."

Luna:"Let's just try not to get banned from that place too."

Lori:"Deal."

Luan, Luna and Lincoln sat behind them, but they looked to see Lincoln staring out the window, since he hasn't said a word since he they left Ashe.

Luna:"Linc? You good, bro?"

Lincoln:"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bummed out that we had to leave. I meet a cousin of mine that I never even knew I had, but then, we had to leave her again."

Lori:"Aw, Lincoln. Don't be bummed about that. You'll see her again real soon."

Leni:"Yeah, and at least you enjoyed the time spent with her."

Luan:"Let's just hope we don't get booted from that hotel like last time."

Lori:"To be fair, that was mom and dad's fault."

Lincoln:"It was? How?"

Lori:"...That's a story we'll save for later."

Luna:"Yeah. But for now, bring it in, bro."

She then wraps her arm around her brother, and Luan does the same with both of them and the three of them enjoy the moment they have together. But then, it was interrupted by Lori hitting the breaks, almost knocking them out of their seats were it not for the seatbelts.

Luna:"What gives, Lori?"

Lori:"We need to back up?"

Lincoln:"Why?"

Lori:"Because we have...2 problems right in front of us."

They look to see their parents and Lily walking towards the van. And they could tell they were not happy.

Leni:"What do we do, Lori?"

Lori:"...Hide the can behind a large tree and bushes?"

Luna:"What? Why?"

Lori:"Because I can think of anything else."

And with that, Lori drives the van away from Rita and Lynn and manage to hide it behind some large shrubbery that was right up to a fence.

Lori:"Now...let's carefully get out...and sneak back to the house."

Lincoln:"Don't you think Mom and Dad will ask where Vanzilla is?"

Lori:"We'll worry about that later."

Not seeing any other choice, Lori turns off the van and they slowly get out one by one. She pushes some bushes and leads her siblings in, in the order of Leni, Luna, Luan and then Lincoln.. As then hide, Rita and Lynn Sr come close by. It was very uncomfortable, considering that there were thorns, roots and leaves that were going in place the girls wouldn't want to mention to Lincoln. On top of all that, there was no space and they found themselves smushed together...

Luan:"Can you guys scoot over?"

Luna:"Where!? There's no where to scoot!"

Lori:"Shh! Keep it down. We don't wanna get caught!"

Luna:"We're not making that much noise. Are we?"

Lincoln:"Shh! Yeah, you are!"

Leni:"Shh! You heard Lori, keep it down!"

Lincoln:"Leni! Don't shush me! Shush them!"

Lori:"Shh! Guys!"

Luna:"Shush us? We'll shush you!"

"Shh, Shh, SSSHhh, Shh, SHH, SH-SH."

Lori:"Leni, stop shushing in my eye!"

Leni:"Sorry!"

Lincoln:"Alright, alright, alright! This is getting us nowhere!"

Lynn Sr:"Hey, there you are!"

All of them froze and remained completely silent after hearing their father say that...

Lynn Sr:"My baby! Did you miss me, old girl?"

Rita:"Honey, if you keep talking to the van like that, I'm gonna get you a doctor."

The girls and Lincoln sighed after realizing their dad was talking to Vanzilla.

Rita:"What's it even doing here?"

Lynn Sr:"How much you wanna bet someone tried to steal it."

Rita:"This old thing? Let's not be overzealous honey?"

Lynn Sr:"Well, what else could it be? Huh, keys are still inside."

The kids turn to Lori with a disappointed look on the faces.

Lori:"Whoops. Looks like I forgot to get those."

Lynn Sr:"Well, what'd ya say we use it to go and continue searching for the kids."

Rita:"Beats going on foot. Let's do it."

But as they started up the engine and began to drive out...Luan sneezed.

Luan:"Achoo!"

Vanzilla came to a halt as the others looked Luan with a "Really?!" Expression.

Luan:"Oops. I guess they heard that, didn't they?"

Acting quickly, Lori gets out of the huddle and searches for a way out of the place. Looking over to the fence, she finds a small hole and motions the others to follow her. But as she begins to crawl through, her hair gets caught but the tips of the fence.

Lori:"Ow! Oh, come on!"

After some brief tugging, she managed to get herself free and the rest followed her through the hole, Lincoln, Luna, Luan and Leni in that order. Until Leni get herself stuck just as she was about to make it through.

Leni:"Uh, guys? A little help?"

Her hair was clamped by where the metal bent on the cage, and it was a snug tight.

Lori:"Seriously, Leni!?"

Leni:"Sorry! I guess it runs in the family, huh?"

Lincoln helped unclamp her hair and they soon made a break for it. The kids found themselves in a wide open field with but a few trees to hide behind. Lori started to brush her hair, still feeling uncomfortable about when it got stuck

Lori:"Man, I gotta do something about my hair!"

Leni:"Hairtie?"

Lori:"Yeah."

With Leni giving a pale blue Hairtie to Lori, she put up her hair in a ponytail similar to Lynn's.

Lori:"Much better."

Luna:"You guys do realize we just lost our only way back home?!"

Lincoln:"To be fair, we did hide it from Mom and Dad."

Lori:"We'll just have to continue on foot."

Luan:"Oh, joy."

Lincoln:"Hey, something just came to me."

Leni:"What's that?"

Lincoln:"You guys left Lily all alone for two days while we were in Great Lake City?"

The sisters looked at each other with realization and regret.

Luna:"I-It's Lori's fault!"

Lori:"What?! Me?!"

Luna:"You're the one who left Lily at the house!"

Lori:"It was Leni who brought up when we would go see Ashe!"

Leni:"Oh yeah?! Well it was Luan who was...who was being Luan!"

Luan:"Wow. That hurts, Leni! Let remind you that it was Luna who got all of pumped for this!"

Luna:"Am not!"

Lincoln:"It's all your faults! Now let's just shut up and make a break for it!"

Sisters:"Right!"

Leni:"Where are we even going?"

Lincoln:"Back to the house. Where else?"

Luna:"It's gonna be a long way there, bro."

Lincoln:"We can at least make the best of it!"

Lori:"How?"

Lincoln:"By running as fast as possible!"

After what felt like hour in what was really a few minutes. The kids were exhausted as they were surprised to see that they made it back before their parents.

Lori:"They're probably still out looking for us."

Luna:"But, uh...don't you think they wouldn't have missed...that?"

She points to the broken computer that still showed Lincoln's note from the school.

Lincoln:"Welp...I'm dead."

Lori:"Okay...this isn't a problem. We can figure something out by the time they get back."

Lincoln:"They already saw the note, Lori. They were already here. Let's face it...I'm dead."

Feeling defeated, Lincoln heads upstairs while the girls wonder what to do. But then, Lori's hairband snapped in half, making her hair go back to how it was before.

Lori:"(Groans in annoyance)"

And so, they head up to check on their brother. When he didn't answer their knocks, they simply decided to head in and see that he was face down on his bed. Luna sighed and she heads over to him and picks him up.

Luna:"Lincoln...we're gonna defend you bro. No matter what it takes, we're helping you out."

Lincoln:"Oh yeah? And how are you gonna do that?"

Lori:"The least we can do right now is stall mom and dad before the come back."

Luan:"So what? We're gonna follow them around? See what they're doing and keep from the getting home?"

Luna:"That's gonna be a lot hard. It's already 7:30 pm and the rest of Royal Woods has got to be asleep by now."

Lori:"There a still a few shops that stay open 24/7. We'll check there to see if they're around."

Luna:"This plan is not gonna end well."

Lincoln:"I kinda agree with Lori on this. Shouldn't we stop and think about this for a minute before-"

Lori:"Let's do this!"

Leni:"Yeah!"

Luan:"Alright!"

Luna didn't even get a chance to respond before as she was rushed out the door with the rest of her sisters and Lincoln was left all by his self in his room. He fell back on his bed, feeling depressed.

Lincoln:"What the heck did I get myself into?"


Back at the hotel, Ashe was busy looking out a window as she was thinking about Lincoln and her sister.

Ashe:"I hope you're holding in there, Triss. And Lincoln...I hope to see you again soon."

But then, a pillow was thrown at her head. Recovering from that, she saw it was a sleepy Diane who threw it.

Diane:"It's late, Ashe. Go to bed."

Ashe:"It's only 7:35. And I'm not making too much noise."

Diane:"Whatever."

Her roommate fell back to sleep while Ashe continue to stare out the window, not knowing that she would see her cousin again really soon.
