Meanwhile, Lori, Luna, and Luan were at Reingers when Leni showed up. She explained how she had been separated from Brooke.
"I can't find her anywhere!" Cried Leni. Leni's work friends, Fiona and Miguel, were there too and felt worried as well. "Don't worry, I'm sure she's around here somewhere. What could happen to her?" Asked Fiona.
"GANGWAY!!!" The six teenagers turned to see Lincoln and Brooke running as fast they could past the shop with the 3 bullies right behind them. "Get back here you twerp!!" Screamed Anderson. No sooner had they passed, Lori's phone buzzed from an incoming call from Lynn.
"Yeah Lynn I saw. They're heading for the main hub. We'll be right there." She hung up and turned to her sisters. "They need help! C'mon!" The older sisters ran after their brother and cousin as Fiona and Miguel followed close behind. "You need all the help you can get!" Shouted Miguel.
Lincoln and Brooke ran until Lincoln suddenly tripped on a shopping bag! He and Brooke fell, slid across the slick floor and came to a stop in front of the giant water fountain in the center of the mall. As they sat themselves upright, they found the 3 eighth graders towering over them, each with a devious smile.
"I've sure missed having you for wedgie practice." Said Anderson rudely to Lincoln. Lincoln narrowed his eyes. "You can't push me around. I made that very clear!" But the bullies only laughed. "Yeah, on the bus. But here, it's just your little puny self." Laughed Taylor. Pablo then looked at Brooke. Let's give her a little sneak peek at our routine. She'll see what we've got in store for her when we remind this little twerp how life works." Taylor and Anderson liked that idea.
Taylor grabbed Lincoln from off the floor. But before they could do anything, a voice came from behind. "Put my cousin down and leave my sister alone!!" They whipped around and found an angry Brenda standing there. But the bullies didn't feel threatened in the least. "Or what? You gonna tell your mommy what we're doing to your precious little brats?" Mocked Taylor. Brenda then smirked. She snapped her fingers and the older sisters came into view with Fiona and Miguel. "What did you just call them?" Lori asked in a threatening tone.
Now the bullies felt worried. Seeing not one, not two, but SEVEN angry teenagers who were much older than them and did not seem to be in a listening mood. Taylor dropped Lincoln and the 3 eighth graders began to back away. "H-Hey guys, uh, w-w-we don't want any trouble, there's a good explanation for this." Said Anderson nervously as the older Louds advanced on them. "You better run, buzz cut." Growled Lori as she tried to grab him. The 3 ran as fast as they could with Lori and others right behind them. Lincoln and Brooke quickly followed.
Anderson, Taylor, and Pablo ran to the food court to try and lose them but it was too late. Lori and Luna got in front of them and the others surrounded them. "So YOU'RE the 3 punks who abused my brother and his friends last month." Said Luna. "H-How do you know that??" Asked Taylor, trying to sound tough. "News travels fast in my family. I'm proud of Lincoln for standing up to you, but you 3 need to learn what happens to people who hurt my brother." Growled Luna.
"What are you gonna do to us?" Asked Pablo. "You're about to find out." Said Lynn with a smirk. Then, she grabbed Pablo's underwear and gave him a massive wedgie. "Grab the other two!" She ordered. Luna and Lori were more than happy to do so. Lori grabbed Taylor's underwear and Luna grabbed Anderson's underwear and they gave the other two eighth graders wedgies too. Then, with Brenda's help, the loud sisters tied the bullies underwear into a giant double knot! Lincoln and Brooke had seen everything and laughed. Even Brooke was giggling a little, who hardly ever laughed.
"We gotta get out of here!" Cried Anderson to his pals. But with their underwear tied together, it was very hard to walk in the same direction. "Go right!" Go left!" No the other left! "That's my foot! "Other way! Other way!" Lincoln laughed even more. "Better put the fire department on speed dial." He chuckled. Everyone else in the mall was laughing too. Anderson then saw Brenda in front of him. "One more thing." She reeled her leg back as far as it would go and with a mighty kick, slammed her foot into Anderson's berry patch. "That's for threatening my sister!" Anderson staggered away with his friends behind him. But they didn't get far as a security guard came to them. "Alright you 3. My office." And he led them away.
Bethany, Belinda, and the younger sisters arrived just as everyone started cheering! "What happened? Asked Lana. "These girls just put those three menaces in their place! They've been pestering us for weeks!" Exclaimed a woman. "Not to mention our kids!" Said a man. Lincoln and his family all smiled. Then, after receiving more congratulations, they finished their shopping and left for the Burpin Burger. As for Anderson, Taylor, and Pablo, their parents were appalled of their behavior and their intention to harm a little girl. In the end, the 3 were banned from the mall and sent to year's worth of placement in juvenile corrections. Finally, the kids in Royal Woods had peace.
Stay tuned for chapter 9!
