Author's Note: First off I would like to thank everyone who was concerned about my health, it was very much appreciated. Second, I think that there was some confusion regarding the end of the last chapter. Thin Sid is the only one who's pregnant, the reason she had so many pregnancy tests was to make 100% sure that she was pregnant. well with that out of the way, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

A week had passed since the incident with Rusty along with his hospitalisation and arrest, the doctors explaining that whatever weird steroid he was using, caused his muscles to grow so big and strong so fast that the strain of fighting the two of them caused severe trauma to his organs, almost every muscle fiber in his body to be shredded, and the comparative weakness of his muscles against his bones to cause numerous breaks and countless microfractures across the majority of his skeleton. The doctors were almost certain that with the extent of his injuries Mr. Spokes would be stuck in a bed being fed through a straw for from now on.

Even if he survived. Rusty Spokes would never be a threat to anybody ever again.

Thankfully Justin and Lincoln were cleared of any wrongdoing in this incident and were somewhat considered heroes for saving Jordan. Speaking of whom, Jordan had become Justin and Lucy's girlfriend, the 'experimenting' between herself and Lucy had been...mildly successful. While neither of them could quite say with certainty that they were definitely bi-sexual, they were close enough that they didn't mind indulging in polyamory.

Speaking of. During the week, Sid had officially become a part of Lincoln's harem

Flashback

It was the day after Justin and Lincoln had fought Rusty, and Lincoln was now probably in even more pain than he was yesterday. He had decided to sleep on the couch due to not being bothered to go upstairs. The Girls had made two calls earlier on Lincoln's behalf. One to Leni to make a portal generator for them so they nor Thin Sid had to drive for 3 hours to be with each other. And one to Thin Sid telling her that they planned for her to stay where she is, but will get a portal generator so all she had to do was just take two steps to get to the Loud residence.

About an hour after calling her, his no longer obese genius sister entered the Loud residence, via a portal. Looking around she gasped in horror as she saw her little brother on the couch half bandaged and looking miserable "oh dear god, what happened to you Lincoln?!" she asked, immediately at his side

"Justin and I were tenderized after saving Stella and Jordan from Rusty"

"BOTH of you were tenderized?! Who were you fighting? A train?"

"Nah Rusty took a new type of drug or something that made him bulk up instantly, and basically become a berserker. You have any Lazarus on you?"

"No sorry, I'll make some for you as soon as I get back"

"Thanks…so I take it you heard the news?"

"That you knocked up a girl and are going to be a dad in about 9 months"

"Yep"

"I thought you were taking those sterilization tablets"

"They don't have them in this dimension" He leaned back "We do it one time and she ends up pregnant. It sounds like one of those videos they make you sit through in high school."

"Well, you might wanna try knocking up the rest of your girlfriends as well so they don't feel left out" Lincoln raised a brow "just a suggestion."

"Suggestion noted"

After a few minutes, Leni installed a portal generator on a wall and activated it before walking through about 30 seconds later Thin Sid came through beaming "hey handsome" she said as she seductively walked over to him

"hey, don't hug me right now, everything hurts"

Sid's expression turned into a concerned one "yeah Leni said, anything is broken?" she asked as she sat down on the coffee table

"No, but a lot of places almost did"

Sid gave a giggle at that "so how many guys did you have to fight to end up like this?"

"One, but he took something weird that made me feel like a kid dealing with Hank and Hawk again"

"And how's he doing?"

"Probably in the same condition as me at the moment…I'm sorry Sid"

"What for?"

"For getting you pregnant?"

Sid smiled and rubbed her recently softened stomach, after a month of snacking and gorging despite being told it wasn't needed, she wasn't really 'Thin' Sid anymore. Sid's once slender frame was now covered in a layer of fat, though she didn't look 'fat' fat it as it was mostly collecting in what most would call 'the right places', leaving her looking not so much fat as she was delightfully chubby. "nothing to be sorry for, I always did want to be a mother…just didn't expect to be one so soon" She then gently grabbed Lincoln's hand "If I were to be knocked up by anyone, I'm glad it was you…so…does this mean we're a couple now?"

"Well since I'm not an asshole. Yes. Absolutely." He smiled. She smiled back and leaned down to kiss him, knowing he couldn't pull away right now and only lifting back up with a laugh when he half-heartedly groaned "I don't think the girls are gonna make you do any tests to join."

"What tests would those be?" Lincoln then told her the tests as well as the fact the Stella from this dimension had joined them. "Eating food made by a gourmet chef, saying how I feel about you, and spending time with one of your ridiculously hot girlfriends? Those aren't tests. I'm more than happy to take them"

"Which is why you're going out with me tonight," Busty Stella said as she walked towards Sid, her chest bouncing with every step she took. Sid began drooling as she saw lefty and righty

"Whatever you say cuties"

"Yo, eyes up here" Sid then stood up and gave Stella a hug, burying herself between Busty Stella's girls

"Yes but your enormous boobs are down here. You can see the problem."

"Well, she's hardly the first Sid to say that." The tall beauty rolled her eyes but didn't look upset.

"It's going to be a magical night for the 4 of us beautiful," Sid said while batting her eyes at the Amazon, Stella laughed and gave the pleasantly plumped-up Asian girl a kiss on top of the head.

End Flashback

Tonight the Loud's, the Lard's, and a few of the Santiago's were at the Royal Comedy Club for Luan's show. She had been able to get a chance to show off her comedic genius to the people of this town after trying to book a show, nearly all revenues hadn't taken her seriously due to her last name, thankfully though this one did. The staff, as well as the patrons, had been shocked, disturbed, or both at the appearance of the Lard family member's, who all had to have 2 seats, 3 in Big Sid and Phat Ronnie's cases. "okay everyone, tonight we have a newcomer, give a warm welcome to Luan Lard" some of the patrons seemed confused as the name sounded a lot like Luan Loud, the famous magician. People who hadn't seen the Lard family enter were astounded (and many disgusted) at Luan Lard's appearance, not at the fact of how she was dressed or anything, but mainly because she was so fat.

"Hey, there folks, so nice to be on a stage again. Yes, I know none of you know me, but I don't know you either, so I guess we're even. So the other day I'm wheeling through Royal Woods Mall, just checking out all the stores, when this woman at a kiosk comes up to me and says 'excuse me ma'am, but have you tried our essential oils?' I looked at her and said 'I've gone without them for 27 years, so they can't be that essential'" Luan smiled as she heard most of the audience laugh at that

"I remember back in school, my teacher once asked me 'Luan, tell me something you're good at, starting with C' I then looked at her with the biggest smile on my face and said 'spelling'" more laughter

"I was in the park today wondering why Frisbee's get bigger the closer they get, then it hit me"

"Did I already do my déjà vu joke…?"

"My dad has a weird hobby of collecting empty bottles, much better than saying he's an alcoholic"

"I like what mechanic's wear, overall"

"I like rice, rice is great when you're hungry and want 2000 of something"

"I remember years ago my dad telling my little brother that he could be whatever he wanted to be, the sky's the limit, which made him sad because he wanted to be an astronaut"

"I think it's sad that the word legend has been devalued from pulling a sword from a stone, to unexpectedly returning home with snacks"

"Every Christmas day, we always have pigs in blankets, or as you probably call it 'relatives sleeping in the spare room'"

"I don't like to eat anything labeled 'reformed ham', as I think it's unfair that the pigs are slaughtered after they've got their lives back on track"

"I bought a chocolate bar and on the inside of the wrapper it said 'you're a loser'. I wouldn't have minded if there'd been some sort of competition on" "to make things worse, it was a Boost"

"Okay now to get a bit serious here. Recently, my wife and I became parents to a beautiful baby girl" cheers and awes echoed through the crowd

"Or as I like to call her, a broken alarm clock that crawls around"

"Put your hands up here if you have kids" many people did

"Would you agree that there's no greater feeling than holding your firstborn child for the first time, so when the second or third kid comes around it's just 'meh, next'"

"I swear my daughter must be the reincarnation of Houdini, no matter how elaborate the restraint, she always…" Luan turned her head and saw Lois trying to climb up the wheel of her wheelchair "...escapes" Maggie's head whipped to the side and saw that the baby seat was now empty before she gave an annoyed groan and made her way over to the stage.

Luan reached down and picked up Lois by the back of her yellow onesie and rested her on her own impressive bust "this little cutie is my wonderful daughter Lois" some awes rang out through the audience "you wanna say something to the audience?" Luan said, Lois's eyes widened as she saw the microphone she then grabbed onto and tried to eat it "no sweetie, that's not ice cream"

"I ceam" Luan and Maggie froze "I ceam" the few months old repeated while reaching for the microphone

"ladies and gentlemen, you all just heard my daughter's first 1 and a half words," Luan said while beaming with pride, Maggie then got on the stage shocking even more people, and arousing others. Maggie took Lois who kept reaching for the microphone

"Come on sweetie, let's get you some actual ice cream," Maggie said and she walked off the stage 'as well as duck tape to keep you in your seat' she thought to herself

"And before anyone asks, yes, they're 100% real, and yes our daughter is kept well fed. Anyway, back to the comedy"

After another 20 minutes of killing the audience, Luan thanked the crowd, most of whom were in tears from laughing so much, before wheeling herself off stage. As soon as she was off the stage, she was greeted by the manager "Ma'am, I don't normally say this, but you are the best talent I've ever had in the club! How would you like to be our headliner every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night?" the manager asked, Luan beamed at this

"It would be an absolute honor, sir!"

"Great! Can you start tomorrow night?"

"Yes I can"

"Great, I'll see you same time tomorrow night"

"Thank you sir" and with that Luan wheeled off to tell her family the good news.

When she reached her family they all congratulated her on a great performance with the Louds and Santiago's voicing their own praises to the young woman. "I honestly thought I was going to wet myself!" thin...er Chubby Sid said, still giggling.

"I'm so glad I had the night off," Thin Ronnie Anne said while wiping a stray tear from her eye

"I've seen and listened to quite a few comedians in my life, but you have blown all of them out of the water," Lori said with her husband agreeing

"You are way funnier than our Luan ever was," Lana said, the young mechanic having arrived a few hours ago.

Earlier

As everyone was getting ready for Luan's big night, there was a knock at the door. When Rita answered it she was surprised to see Lana standing there with a duffle bag "hey mum"

"Lana? What are you doing here?" she asked

"Do you mind if I stay here for the weekend?"

"Of course not sweetie," she said while allowing her daughter in "but what's wrong?"

"I can't take Lola's moods anymore" she stated as Lincoln came up to her

"Pms'ing?" Lincoln questioned

"Tch, I wish. Nah, ever since we came back from here last week, she's become unbearable. The first day back she was angry to the max, then when uni finished for the day she was a miserable wreck because all of her friends ditched her, and people constantly made fun of her. And for the past week, she's been flipping between planning your's and your Leni's deaths, to bawling at her weight while only making it worse?"

"How is she making it worse?" Rita asked, Lana then pulled out her phone and checked the live feed of the security camera in the kitchen before showing them. Sitting at the kitchen table was Lola who had a huge plate of fries drenched in mayonnaise in front of her with a fist full of fries in each hand while crying.

"Oh my god, I'm so fucking fat!" and bemoaned as she shoved both handfuls into her mouth at once before Lana closed it.

"Mmm. I notice that what she's inhaling isn't a salad."

"Yeah, she's...going through a thing right now. It's been like that for a week now. She hasn't even tried to lose the weight yet."

"Well good serves her right," Rita said firmly with Lincoln nodding in agreement.

Present

It was unsurprising that no one disagreed with Lana's previous statement, heck even Lynn Sr. had to admit that even if he enjoyed puns some of his Luan's jokes were pretty bad, even to him. Once the show was finished for the night the families all headed back to the Loud residence where the Santiago's would go back through the portal. Unfortunately, halfway home, Lynn and Lincoln got into an argument. It had started off with Lincoln asking his former sister if she enjoyed the show to which she replied with "I've heard farts that were funnier" and that's how the two began the argument.

The next morning, Lynn was still in a foul mood. She and Lincoln sat in silence as Lynn was forced to drive Lincoln to work…mainly because he worked where she worked and her parents had threatened to make her start paying rent if she didn't take him to work with her. Shortly after they got in with Lynn working the fryer and grill and Lincoln working the register the manager came up to Lincoln "Lincoln, may I speak to you in my office?"

"Sure" Lincoln replied and he followed the manager to his office. Lynn had heard this and gave a wicked grin, she knew that the only time Mark asked people to come to his office was to fire them.

In the manager's office

"Please take a seat Lincoln" Lincoln did so "first off I want to say in the past 10 years I've worked here, I've never seen someone as enthusiastic about this line of work as you are"

"Well I've been taught that you put everything you have into a job, no matter what it is, plus despite what TV and your teachers 'warns' you about, this is a pretty okay job to be working at"

"That's good to hear, and yeah I don't think teachers have any room to talk about underpaid jobs. Anyway, the reason I've called you here is that I would like to ask you if you would like to be promoted to the assistant manager"

"Well, yeah that sounds great"

"Then congratulations" he then handed Lincoln a badge that said 'assistant manager' on it "your duties will now involve, supervising employees during day-to-day tasks, providing customer support in escalated situations and managing the overall workflow of a workplace"

"Great, I'm great at solving disagreements"

"Considering the size of you I'm not surprised." The two men laughed "Thank you, now off you go"

"Thank you sir," Lincoln said before he got up and left.

When Lynn saw Lincoln again, she was confused to see that he was smiling instead of looking sad, she also saw that he wasn't leaving, instead of taking his position at the front counter. When his lunch break finally came around, she took her's at the same time, wanting to find out what the talk was about earlier. She got her answer when she sat down opposite of him and saw his new badge "WHAT!" Lynn shouted as loud as she could, getting everyone's attention "you've only been here for 2 months and now you're assistant manager?!"

"Yes, and Lynn, please keep your voice down, you're disturbing the other customers" Lynn glared at Lincoln "you're also on extremely thin ice, one more outburst like that and you will be fired," Lincoln said calmly, but in a tone that said that he was serious.

Lynn, still seething in rage, sat down and angrily tore into her food. When their shifts ended at the same time, Lynn continued from where they left off "why the fuck do you get promoted when I've worked there for about 6 years, is still flipping burgers?!"

"Maybe it's the fact you're rude, unpleasant, smell, and clearly don't want to be here."

"Of course I don't you whoring bastard! My life was going great until you left! I was on the road to becoming an all-star athlete, but then you left and Mum and Dad grounded us all big time, making me sloppy in sports! Then because you wanted to stay at your new home, I got sent to a god-forsaken boarding school, which made me unable to get into a college and have a successful life like the rest of my sisters!"

"Lynn, YOU are the one who wanted to prank me for a complete accident. YOU'RE the one who destroyed every scrap of evidence that I even existed here! You weren't kicked off anything for 'being sloppy'. You were kicked out of sports for the way you act! YOU'RE the one who wouldn't change your attitude for the better, leading to all this. I am sick and tired of you blaming me for why your life sucks! When the hell are you going to grow up and take responsibility for your own mistakes instead of blaming everybody else?!"

Lynn's rage towards her former brother reached beyond boiling point "you are and always have been the worst brother in the world!"

"Pot. Meet kettle" He shot at her.

"Ever since you came back, Lyle has been idolising you all the time when he used to idolise me. Now he won't even touch me!"

"That's because he realises who you truly are. A disgusting slob and a lousy sister. Which again, is your own damn fault since you didn't even try to act civil with me in front of him." He crossed his arms "You were a sore loser when you were younger, and now your just a loser. And it's nobody else's fault but your own."

Lynn was about to continue when she suddenly became very short of breath followed by severe pain in her chest and arm before she fell forward, thankfully Lincoln caught her "whoa, Lynn, what's wrong" not getting any response, he then laid her down and checked her pulse. Finding none, he instantly began performing CPR on her. Thankfully the manager had seen this and had called 911.

The Loud family members and Lincoln were now in the waiting room of Royal Woods hospital "Dad, is Lynn going to be okay?" Lyle asked

"I…don't know" Lynn Sr. replied. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they all heard

"Loud?" the Loud's and Lincoln all perked up at this and moved over to the doctor

"How is our daughter!" Rita asked, the doctor sighed

"This is never easy to say. I'm afraid it's not good at all, your daughter has just suffered a major heart attack. We did all we could but medical science has only come so far, we currently have her on life support"

"Is there any chance that she'll recover?" Lynn Sr asked

"I'm afraid not. Had it been a normal heart attack and she had been healthy, she would pull through, but due to what I assume to be an extremely unhealthy lifestyle, her heart attack took an even greater toll on her body. There's...*sigh* there's almost no chance, she'll ever wake up again. I'll let you make the call"

"Can we keep her on life support until we've got her family here?"

"Yes you can"

"Can we see her," Lily asked

"Of course, follow me" the group followed the doctor to the room where Lynn currently was. When they entered, some of them had to look away, unable to stand the sight of Lynn in this situation.

Using Leni Lard's portal generators, all of the Loud family were able to gather together within an hour to say goodbye to Lynn, while most of the girls still hated Lynn for what she did all of those years ago, they still loved her and didn't want to see her go. With one final goodbye, they pulled the plug which was followed by a long beep. The doctor did a few checks before pulling the sheet over Lynn. The Loud family soon left the room, some crying, but mostly just sad that they had truly lost a sibling.

Back at the Loud residence

The Lard girls and Lincoln's girlfriends were just relaxing, most of, if not, all of them didn't care about Lynn and didn't want to insult the Loud's by pretending to be as upset as they would be. Lola was up in Lily's room playing with Lily's toys when she heard an alarm go off in the room "huh what's that?" she questioned while looking around.

At the same time as the alarm went off in Lily's room, formally her and Lisa's shared room, the lights in Lisa's old bunker lab came on with an alarm began blaring as well. The liquid in the container that had the Lynn clone in it began to rapidly drain until it was empty and the Lynn clone was slumped at the bottom of it. The tube then opened up and the Lynn clone fell out, landing on the cold hard floor. The alarm then stopped and the room went silent, though the silence only lasted for a few seconds before the clone's eye snapped open and groaning was heard as the Lynn clone began to move.

Sitting up, she looked around "I'm...where the hell am I…and why am I wet...naked!...and...thin!?" looking behind her gave a yelp of fright as she saw younger versions of her family members "what the fuck is going on?" she questioned as she got to her feet and backed away from the tubes. Spotting an elevator, she bolted over to it and took it up to the next level, however, once she reached the next level, she was astounded to find herself in a familiar-looking bunker, then it hit her. "I'm a clone?" She grasped her face "Or in the body of a clone?" she then looked back down at a slim and noticeably muscled body "I feel...fantastic! Like the old me!" She looked down at herself again, barely keeping her breathing steady as she ran a hand over her toned abs. ABS! Looking past them she saw...her feet! How many years has it been since she could see her feet from this angle?!

She spent the next who cares how many minutes staring at her reflection just...posing. Curling her arm and watching her biceps rise. Running a hand up and down her legs and felt the powerful chorded muscle resist her fingers instead of watching them sink into the flesh like quicksand. Practically massaging her neck as if prepared for more chin to take it's place at any moment before gliding up across her smooth and unblemished face. Then, unable to resist patted herself on her toned and non cottage-cheese rear as if to put an exclamation point on her golden realization. She wasn't fat anymore! She wasn't unhealthy or greasy or pimply! she was...she was...she was.

"I'm...younger?." She paid closer attention to her reflection and realized that she 'really hadn't' seen this face in years. In fact, none of the other clones did either. Everybody in their was at least ten years younger than they were now. She wasn't just healthy. She was a teenager again!

She then recalled her argument with Lincoln, only this time, she felt no anger. It was like all of the bitterness and anger she almost always had was gone and her mind was now clearer. Like it had been left behind in a big ball of cholesterol and transfats probably sitting in the hospital somewhere.

Of course, with clarity came...well, clarity. Understanding, realisation, and people rarely ever 'realised' anything good.

She realized now that...he was right. About everything.

She looked down at the floor. Everything he said was true, it was her fault for everything that happened to her, not his. Which caused her to move back up to anger. At herself. For everything, she'd said to him, his girlfriends and his family.

Spotting a lab coat, she quickly put it on before exiting Lisa's bunker.

Entering the house through the back door, she saw Ronnie at the food processor. Said girl was about to ask for her dinner when Lynn entered "what the hell?! I thought you were in the hospital?!...and did you get into that super weight-loss stuff Leni made...and hit the gym alright, and get plastic surgery what the actual hell is going on!?" this caught the attention of the other girls who all entered the kitchen and were also surprised by Lynn and her new appearance

"From what I understand and can remember, thanks to Lisa if one of my family dies, our memories will be put into the mind clone"

"So you're a clone?" Sid questioned

"Yeah. I mean, I think so. I'm not gonna debate whether I just think I'm Lynn or if it's really her soul in a new meat suit. All I know is I'm not dead or ninety percent trans fats anymore."

"How do you feel?" Stella asked

"To be honest, I haven't felt this good in years. I think I might even feel better than I used to" she made a 'Rosie the Riveter' pose and smiles before dropping it "girls, the way I've been treating you has been complete bull. I'm sorry about everything I said to you the past few months just because I was being a miserable piece of crap."

"Seems like this new body has made you nicer as well bruh," Luna said

"Yeah I don't feel angry or bitter anymore"

"Well that's good to know"

"You want to start over?"

"Hi, there my name's Ronnie Anne, what's your name?"

"Lynn Loud, a pleasure to meet you" and the two shook hands, followed by a laugh. Lynn then greeted the other Lard's in the same manner. Once she was done re-introducing herself to everyone, she headed upstairs to have a shower, due to now smelling like chemicals. When she entered her room however she instantly recoiled in disgust at both the state of her room and the smell "oh my god, how did I even live like this?!" she questioned. She knew people got used to their own stink but this was just ridiculous. She couldn't cross the room fast enough as she opened up her window to air her room out. Finding that most of her clothes were either too big or dirty "I've never been so happy to have nothing to wear", she said trying not to smirk before she decided to try Lily and Lyle's rooms. After acquiring a decent wardrobe, she headed for the shower. Once she was washed and dressed she took a moment to look at herself in the mirror "smooth as a baby's butt" grabbing a brush, she began brushing her hair for once in her life. She took notice that her hair was no longer greasy and rough, but silky instead. Growing up she hadn't put much care into her personal appearance, instead just put things on and put her hair up in a ponytail and be done with it.

Once she finished brushing her hair, she decided to leave it down. Spraying on some of Lily's deodorant, she exited the bathroom and decided to get something to eat. As she reached the stairs, she heard the front door open and the sound of crying coming from her little brother. She was about to go down to reveal herself when she heard Ronnie's voice "hey, so Lynn died I take it?" she asked in a rather uncaring tone

"Yeah…unfortunately" Lincoln replied

"Well I have good news everyone" there was a pause "She had an extra life" Lynn then took this moment to come downstairs. When she reached the bottom, the Loud family were left slack-jawed and bug-eyed at the sight of Lynn.

"LYNN!" Lyle yelled and he tackled her to the ground before holding her tightly and crying.

"Hey, hey, shh shh shhhhh come on now little bro, no need to cry" she comforted, which was something she knew she would normally do

"But, but, but butbut y-you DIED!?"

"I got better," she said as she got up. Looking at the crowd in front of her she saw many of her sisters had tear-stained faces "wait, were you all actually crying because I died?"

"Of course we cried, you idiot!" Lori stated

"But I thought you all hated me?"

"Lynn, we may not like you, but that doesn't mean we don't still love you," Luna Loud said, this time it was Lynn's time to tear up

"Thanks," she said and she wiped away her forming tears before she walked up to Lincoln "Lincoln, what I did years ago and the things I've done and said to you ever since you came back here, has been total bunk, and I honestly can't tell you how sorry I am for all I've done to you, if there's any way I can make it up to you, just name it"

"You really want to make it all up to me?"

"Yes, I do"

"Then give me a hug" everyone was surprised that that was all Lincoln wanted in return, considering everything Lynn had said and done over the past few months. Lynn began to tear up before she rushed at Lincoln and embraced him in a tight hug, which he returned. Everyone present thought that the scene in front of them was sweet with nearly everyone present thinking 'typical Lincoln'.

As the two hugged the actual scenario of what had happened dawned on most of the Loud girls "wait for a second, back up *looks at Lisa* you have clones of us?!" Luan Loud asked, Lisa looked down in shame

"Yes I do, I made them years ago in case one of my experiments went completely wrong and you died, they're all in my former sub-lab under my bunker"

"Is it like, the real us? Or just a good likeness? Is it Lynn's real soul in there?"

She shrugged "I was a scientist. Not a philosopher."

"So if I die, I'll be reborn as a clone with all of my memories intact?" Luna Loud asked

"Yes, you'll also be about 11 years younger than you currently are because I stopped aging them after Lincoln was first sent to another dimension. So Lynn you're currently 15 years old" Lisa explained. Lynn and Lincoln let go after this and turned to Lisa

"I kind of figured that out." She nodded. "But, uh...?" She flexed and pointed at her bicep.

"You thought I'd nourish the clones with bacon grease? The clones were all carefully grown to be as healthy as they could be. Though it won't stop you from putting on a gut again if you slip back into a lackluster diet."

"So Lisa, any other surprises that you have," Lincoln asked in a stern tone

"No, none. Honestly, this scenario had never even occurred to me. I calculated the chances of actually needing them were minuscule" Lisa said, unsure whether to be ashamed of herself or overjoyed at this oversight

"So if I die, my mind will be transported into a clone that's younger than I currently am…and thin" Lola Loud asked with hope in her voice

"Yes, you wou…LOLA! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KILL YOURSELF JUST TO CHEAT THE WEIGHT OFF!" Lisa roared, surprising everyone that she could actually live up to her last name vocally.

Lisa then headed to her bunker while saying that she would be back and to keep an eye on Lola. About 3 minutes later all of the Loud's, minus Lyle, all felt a quick sharp pain in their heads as Lisa disabled the links between them and their clones, so now if the Loud's died, they wouldn't automatically be revived. She had also stopped the developmental process of the next Lynn clone being made, leaving it as a 3-year-old "when we're able to make portals to other dimensions, I'll send you to dimensions where that version of you died" she said before she left, now feeling even more disgusted with herself that she had made clones of her family members and treated them like their lives were so disposable…though in retrospect, if she hadn't made them Lynn would truly be dead now.

Back inside

Lynn was now apologising to her whole family for the way she'd been acting over the years and promised to be a new, more considerate, person. This ended with her siblings giving her a group hug and her parents smiling. Their little girl had something so few get. A second chance at life...and so did they.

When they broke apart, Lincoln asked to see Lynn in private upstairs, to which she complied. As the two ascended the stairs Leni Lard began sending everyone back to where they were previously, though now that the situation with Lynn was over Lola tried to attack Leni for what she did to her, only to be tripped by Justin and tossed through a portal into her and Lana's shared apartment.

With Lynn and Lincoln

The two entered the room where Lincoln and his girlfriends slept, with Lincoln closing the door behind him. The two sat down on different beds and Lincoln began "okay Lynn obviously you now have a new body and a chance to start a new life" Lynn nodded "now I know I'm not your parent but I want you to listen and hopefully follow what I say. First off, I want you to abandon your superstitions" Lynn was surprised by this "Those, along with your brash and competitive attitude, lead to bad things happening to not just you, but others"

"You talking bad luck incident?"

"Well yes, but remember your former friend Jackie" a look of shame came to Lynn's face "because you wouldn't let her 'go number 2 until we are number 1' her bowels ruptured and she had to have emergency surgery" Lynn looked down at that, Jackie used to be one of Lynn's best friends until that incident after she was released from the hospital, the last contact she made with Lynn, was her fist colliding with Lynn's face. "and if I remember correctly, you had some bowel problems as well because of that logic"

"Yeah…if I'm being honest Lincoln, given my previous lifestyle, I didn't really do anything that would involve superstition, but I will ignore anything like that in the future"

"Good, next, seeing as how you're 15 again I want you to go to school again so that you can A. get good grades and possibly get into a college and B. make some true friends"

"What do you mean 'true friends'?"

"Tell me, were you still friends with your former friends after you got back from boarding school?"

"No…in fact they stopped being my friends a while into my severe grounding because I couldn't play sports with them, even at school, they became disinterested in me and after a while, they just full-on stopped hanging out with me"

"See, they weren't true friends, they were just friends with you as long as you kept winning. My friends and I always stuck by each other no matter what, hell, once my friend Liam was accused of stealing and despite how much evidence there was against him, we never doubted him ever, and even when he was basically confined to his house by his parents, not allowed to go to school or to even talk to us, we sent him many letters on a daily basis, and we kept a picture of him with us so he was still a part of the group even if he wasn't physically with us. That's what true friends are like, they'll have your back through thick and thin" The fact that what they became, later on, didn't taint the memories of when they were true companions. Lynn had to admit, that sounded nice.

"Another thing I want you to do is to have a much better diet"

"trust me, I am waaaay ahead of you in that department. I'm not going back into 'give up on life' mode. No more scarfing down bacon burgers every day, I'm also going to be a heck of a lot cleaner, I'm still wondering how I lived the way I did. I literally almost gagged when I entered my room before"

"Yeah, that's why most of us either don't go in your room or hold our breath…even when we were kids, honestly, I don't know how Lucy put up with it"

"Well the Lynn you knew is dead…literally, now I'm a new and better Lynn" Lynn said proudly and pounded her chest

"Good to hear, well that's all I wanted to say"

"Cool, now if you'll excuse me, I have room to make liveable" and with that, Lynn left to her room.

When Lynn arrived back in her room, noticing that it smelt considerably fresher, she immediately got to work. She first gathered up all of her dirty clothes, which was nearly all of her clothes, and tossed them down the laundry chute, next she gathered up all of her sheets and tossed them down the chute as well before she got to work on cleaning her room.

By the time her room was spotless and smelled of lemons, it was bedtime for the reborn Loud girl. After having a healthy dinner of steak and vegetables, she got ready for bed, giving everyone a very un-Lynn-like goodnight.

The next morning before dawn, Lincoln woke up with a start. Stretched. Dislodged himself from his bedmate and headed towards the small gym that they'd managed to set up, only to hear the equipment was already being used. He frowned in confusion. Weird, Lucy said Justin's set up equipment at her place.

He opened the door and found not his kung-fu cousin, but a familiar brunette in what looks like somebody's old workout outfit.

"You're up early." He stated obviously.

"Never went to bed," Lynn grunted between the clack of weight lifting up and down behind as she blasted her abs.

That was a surprise "You've been in here all night?"

"No." She denied "I went for a jog around the block a few hours ago to cool down."

Lincoln groaned "Lynn. You know full well that..." She cut her off

"I know I know. Don't overdo it. Just because I choose not to exercise what I knew didn't mean I didn't still know about exercise." She said, but didn't stop "Just give me this one day, alright? I can't help it. For the first time in years, I actually feel good. Hell, I feel amazing. Better than the Lynn Loud I was. Like the one, I should have been before I gave up on life and pants that didn't stretch. You don't have to worry about me going nuts every day Linc."

He sits down on a weight bench opposite her "I can't help it. I'm your big brother. It's my job to worry about you."

That made Lynn pause. Looking up at the brawny twenty-something then back down at herself, she nodded and cracked a grin "Heh. I guess you right now aren't ya? I've gone from fifth oldest to third-youngest.." She looked off into nowhere for a second before shrugging "Can't say I'm that upset about it. I've not really gotten any more mature since the last time I was fifteen. I guess this was just me changing into what I still was."

"I think you are already more mature than that Lynn ever was."

"DON'T!" She snapped much to his surprise. She eased back into her bench and kept pumping iron "Don't Lincoln. There 'is' no other Lynn Loud. I'm not Lynn 2.0. I'm not the new and improved model even with a lighter chassis and better fuel consumption. 'I'm' Lynn Loud. The original. Accept no substitutes. You can't say the other Lynn fucked up not me. Because 'I'm' that Lynn. I don't have a clean slate. 'I' made all those stupid mistakes. 'I'm' the one that fucked up. And now I have a chance to fix it all. I can't pretend it's not otherwise I might backslide back into that pit of grease.

Lincoln stared at Lynn for a moment. He couldn't believe he was saying this but he actually felt...proud of her. The old Lynn, er...Lynn as she used to be would never have owned up like this. She might say she wasn't a whole different Lynn, but...

"Alright... you're already more mature than 'you' ever were."

"Yeah well, having an actual miracle save your life does that to you." She paused. "I'm actually needing a break. You need a spotter?"

He grinned "sure"

The two stayed in the gym for another hour before going out for a jog. Lynn couldn't stop grinning the entire time, due to how fit she now was she could run again without getting exhausted. When they arrived back, they found that everyone was up and about, ready or getting ready for the day ahead. The girls were so busy with their breakfasts (or in Luan and Maggie's case, feeding their daughter), that they didn't even notice the two return. Lana, who was still staying for the weekend, still couldn't believe how much these girls could put away, even though she had seen it a few times now. Heck, even Sam, who was only 400lbs, could put away almost the same amount of food as her wife Luna. Finishing her breakfast, she got up and went to greet Lincoln and Lynn, who had headed into the kitchen. Lana greeted Lincoln with a hug, still loving her former older brother, despite what happened, and she merely gave Lynn a half greeting, still not happy with her, which Lynn understood.

"So where were you two?" she asked

"Just out for a jog, you don't stay fit if you don't exercise on a daily basis" Lincoln stated to which Lana agreed "so do you have anything planned for today?" Lincoln asked as he got himself breakfast

"I was planning on working on Vanzilla today" Lana replied

"pfft good luck, thanks to my sisters and girlfriends, that ancient heap is shot. Your dad now simply uses a portal to get to work now"

"That sounds like a challenge to me"

"Well if you really want to get that heap working you're going to have to fix the whole engine, as well as the radiator, and the axels. You're practically going to be building a whole new car."

"How about if I can fix all of that, you give me…$1000"

"Deal, and if you can't then you…have to gain as much weight as your twin" Lincoln said as he stuck out his hand, figuring Lana would back out

"Deal!" and with a quick handshake, Lana headed to the garage.

"I assume by the look on your face that you weren't expecting her to agree to that?" Lynn questioned

"No. No I was not" Lincoln replied as he took his breakfast to the dining room table with Lynn soon joining him.

Thanks to a matter maker and the skills she had learned in college and her own mechanical genius, Lana had not only been able to build an entirely new engine for Vanilla, but she had also been able to replace the axels, breaks, wipers, windows, doors, and seats all within 14 hours. Needless to say, she was exhausted, but at the same time, she was happy at what she had accomplished. The van might still have the same old shell, but it was factory new on the inside. Her dad was absolutely over the moon when he heard his baby purr like a kitten once again, which had been back when he was a kid. Lincoln had been proud of his former sister and had given her the $1000 as promised. It was a fair chunk of change given their fund's situation, but he can't say it wasn't money well spent. Lana left later that night while taking a mini-portal generator with her so she didn't have to drive hours to be with her family, though she silently dreaded having to go back to her twin. Little did Lana know, however, her twin's current attitude was soon to change again, only this time into a positive one.

Author's Note: Once again another chapter done, I would like to thank the awesome Wolvenstrom for beta reading this for me.

Grim Fact Time: When I wrote this, I was originally going to have Lynn die due to her heart attack, but then I remembered the clones and what their original purpose was, so I had Lynn be reborn as a clone.

Fun Fact Time: I realised that Luan, despite being a comedian, hasn't told many jokes in this story. So I decided to make a scene where Luan gets to show off her comedy genius. I'd also be lying if I said that I came up with all of that material myself, you can thank YouTube for the material.
