Author's Note: First off MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! second I would like to thank Wolvenstrom for beta reading this chapter for me, enjoy the chapter everyone

Lynn woke up bright and early like she did the previous day and joined Lincoln for a jog, though she had to cut it short because today she would be attending high school…again.

Hey, it beats working. Lynn was determined to not screw this second chance at a better life up. She was going to make friends. Real friends that wouldn't ditch her when she stopped winning for them...and wouldn't be afraid to smack sense into her when she deserved it.

Soon Rita dropped Lynn, Lisa, and Lily off at high school.

"This must be pretty weird having to go back to school again huh?" Lisa questioned

"not any weirder than waking up half my weight and nearly half my age" Lynn replied, "I didn't mature since Lincoln left the first time, so it's not gonna be like I'll stick out like a sore thumb...do kids still say that?"

The Loud girls looked at each other for a second before bursting into laughter.

"Lisa!" the three girls turned to see a familiar girl doing cartwheels before she stopped in front of Lisa and embraced her in a tight hug "how's my bestie doing!" Darcy said.

"She's doing fine. I'll tell her you were asking for her." Lisa said as only Lisa could before breaking into a smile.

"Well I had an interesting weekend," Lisa said while gesturing to the new Lynn

"Uh what happened to you"

"I died and was revived in the body of a clone of myself, now I'm young, fit, and full of energy!" Lynn explained like what she said 'wasn't' impossible, Darcy just tilted her head in confusion

"Wait, you died?"

"I'll explain it to you," Lisa said and she began telling her friend what actually happened while guiding her inside at the same time.

Lily turned to Lynn "if you need help or anything, just come and find me"

"I will, thank you Lily"

"No problem" the bell then rang and they all headed inside.

Lynn headed to the office where she was told to wait. Soon she was called into Principal Rivers office where the woman in question gave Lynn a look of disbelief "Lynn Loud, I must say that this is a surprise. When your mum called to enroll you here, I thought she was joking or there was yet another Lynn Loud in your family. Care to explain why or how you're a teenager again?" Principal Rivers asked, Lynn took a deep breath and then began explaining everything.

Once she was done, Principal Rivers was baffled but knew better than to expect something like sense to apply to the Loud family. Collecting herself, she decided to just go with it. Giving Lynn her timetable sheet, she sent her off to her first class of the day, which was math. Over the past 10 years, most of the teachers had left the high school, being replaced by new ones, as such hardly anyone in the school knew who Lynn was, which gave her the chance to truly start over. Knocking on the math room door, it opened to reveal a slim youngish man with a goatee and his long hair in a ponytail. "Sup, are you the new kid" he greeted

"Yeah, my names Lynn"

"Pleasure ta meet ya Lynn, I'm Mr. Halfway" and he shook her hand before letting her into his classroom. "Everyone, this is Lynn" he introduced, Lynn gave a small smile and waved to the class "why don't you take a seat and start writing what's on the board" Lynn nodded and headed to the back of the class where she took her seat and started writing down the math equations.

After 2 periods of math and 1 period of English, the bell rang signaling that it was recess. Slinging her bag over her shoulder, Lynn simply followed her fellow classmates outside where she began scanning the area for potential new friends. She spotted some teens running around kicking a ball, this made her smile and start heading over to them, but stopped "maybe I should try to find people who aren't sporty, heck Lisa and Darcy are basically complete opposites, and they seem borderline inseparable" Lynn said to herself and headed off in another direction. During her search, she had spotted Lily chatting with a large group of kids, and Darcy trying to teach Lisa how to do cartwheels, which looked to be not very successful. As she turned a corner she spotted something that made her eyes narrow. A girl was in the center of a group of 4 other girls who were tossing the girl's shoes, which were tied together by the laces, back and forth to each other in a game of "Keep Away".

The girl had long black hair that reached her butt, tan skin, was a few inches taller than Lynn, wore a light blue sweater that was way too long in the arms, and blue jeans. The girl also looked very messy, like she had been thrown and dragged in the dirt and grass. Seeing that the girl was in borderline tears Lynn marched over while removing her bag. As the girl closest to Lynn was getting ready to catch the shoes Lynn swung her bag and knocked the girl to the ground before catching the shoes "you girls had better piss off now, otherwise theirs going to be a lot of trouble" the girl who had been knocked to the ground glared daggers at Lynn and leaped to her feet only for Lynn to kick her in the chest, knocking the girl back down. Lynn then stepped over the downed girl and returned the shoes to their rightful owner

"Thanks," the girl said in a meek voice

"No problem" Lynn then turned to the other girls "last warning, piss off"

"You have just made a BIG mistake runt" the girl who Lynn had knocked down said as she slowly got back to her feet while rubbing her sore chest

"I'm shaking" the girl then left with her friends following her.

Lynn then turned back to the girl she had helped "are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

"Yeah, but I've had worse done to me," she said as she sat down and put her shoes back on

"Are they the school bullies or something?"

"Yeah, they're rich and popular so they like stepping over everyone and treating others like garbage…especially me"

"Bitches…names Lynn by the way," Lynn said while sticking out her hand to the girl

"Sofia" the girl replied as she gently shook Lynn's hand through her sweater sleeve. Getting back to her feet, Sofia gave a small smile "are you new here?" she asked

"Yeah, just started today"

"Where did you go before here?"

"Hazeltucky High School"

"That's cool…um you should probably know, you're now going to have a huge target on your back now since you messed with those girls, Anna and her friends rule the school, even the teachers try not to cross them"

"Was Anna the girl I knocked down?"

"No, that was her friend"

"Oh, okay then"

"Aren't you worried what they'll do to you because of that?"

"Meh, what's the worst that can happen"

Lynn left the school with a blank face her clothes were covered in paint, mud, and stains. Her hair was a mess. The word 'loser' was written on her right cheek. A bruise on her left cheek. Her eyes were bloodshot. And to top it all off, she reeked. "That. That's pretty much the worst that can happen," Sofia said, her voice muffled slightly due to the neck of her sweater being up past her nose to filter out the stench that was wafting off of Lynn.

"What I displayed today was the most amount of restraint I think is humanly possible for me. Thanks for sticking with me throughout the day"

"No problem, you're just lucky you only knocked down Anna's friend June and not Anna herself"

"Yeesh, what happens if you actually, do something to Anna?"

"Well the last girl who simply bumped into her, transferred schools after 2 days"

"Wow…hey I know we've been together through most of the day but do you want to be friends?"

"Y-y-you want to be my friend?" Sofia asked in disbelief

Lynn finally smiled "sure, why not"

"Well I'm the school loser here"

"Well judging by what happened today, I'm a school loser as well now, and losers need to stick together" Sofia, for the first time in ages, actually laughed at that prompting Lynn to laugh as well.

The two girls walked and chatted together until they reached the point where they had to split up "see ya tomorrow Sof, hopefully, I'll smell better tomorrow"

"Hopefully" they too gave a small giggle and headed to their respectful homes. When Lynn reached her house, she dumped her bag and headed down to the basement to wash her clothes. Once they were in the washing machine she headed upstairs to have a shower. Exiting the basement, she was greeted by Lily.

"Whoa Lynn, what happened to you?!" Lily questioned as she recoiled at the stench Lynn was currently giving off

"Let's just say I messed with the wrong group of people" and she headed upstairs to have a shower.

It took her an hour, but thankfully she managed to get the stink off of her "I swear, if I ever meet the guy who invented stink bombs…" she muttered as she exited the bathroom, clad in only a towel. Looking across the hall, she saw Ronnie about to head downstairs. "hey Ronnie, how was your first half of the day?" Lynn asked, Ronnie was surprised at this, this was the first time Lynn had asked her about her day since she arrived in this dimension

"It was good, busy, but no major problems or issues, how was school?"

"School was great…for the most part"

Ronnie put her hands on her colossal hips "what happened"

"Let's just say I messed with the wrong group of girls when I helped my new friend today"

"Is that why you had a shower?"

"Yeah, I was bombarded by stink bombs"

"Eww"

"Yeah, tell me do I still stink?"

Ronnie took a few whiffs "nope, you smell like a fruit salad now"

"That's a relief. The last thing I ever want to do is stink again." and Lynn went to get changed.

Earlier

After taking a week off college, while claiming to be sick, Rita had forced Lola to attend college physically, instead of allowing her to do her classes online. Lola's convertible groaned loudly and jumped up as she got out. "oh shut up" she snapped to her car and she locked the door before heading to her first class. As Lola waddled across the campus she went red in the face as she could feel everyone staring at her "just ignore them" she muttered to herself. The first embarrassment of the day occurred when she headed into her first class, now completely out of breath, her body may have been altered so that she could remain mobile, despite her size, but unlike native's from the Lard-verse, she lacked the amount of energy they had. The last Friday she had been at college she had only weighed just over 600lbs, and could still go through doors easily. Now, however, thanks to the 200lbs her mother had forced her to gain, plus the extra week of sadness binge eating, the now 900lbs+ Loud girl got stuck in the doorway. Everyone stared at Lola, which only added to the embarrassment she was feeling. With a few twists, Lola finally popped free and face planted on the floor

"Um, Miss Loud, are you okay?" her Professor asked

"Just….peachy" Lola grumbled as she got back to her feet and made her way to the nearest empty seats, realizing that she'd need 2 now for her new massive rear.

With a bit of shifting and sucking in, Lola made it in front of the seats, unfortunately, the second she put her weight on them they broke and she went straight down with a heavy thud. Lola turned to look at the girl that was sitting next to her "there's no way I can salvage any dignity from this, is there?" the girl just shook her head "thought so"

"Miss Loud, are you okay?" the Professor asked again

"It's a medical condition. Just teach" and with that, the class continued.

Once her class finished for the day, Lola headed to the campus cafeteria for lunch. While her appetite had been returned to a normal level, her stomach had expanded thanks to her constant binging sessions during the week she gained all of her current weight, so she needed more food than usual to at least feel satisfied. Before she would just get a small salad which would tide her over until dinner, now, however, the thought of having just a salad didn't seem appealing to her, but she had to lose weight so a salad was what she was going to get. After getting her lunch, she sat down at one of the table benches, which thankfully could support her weight. She was just about to start eating when her twin sat down "hey Lol's, how was class?"

"Terrible, absolutely terrible" and Lola told her twin what had happened. When she was done, Lana actually felt a bit sorry for her twin

"Look, Lola, I know what it's like to-" but Lola cut her off

"You know what it's like to what Lana?" She snapped "To get stuck in the doorway? Get exhausted climbing one flight of stairs? To feel like you're starving to death unless you eat enough for three people for 'breakfast' every day? Have your five times extra-large yoga pants split open when you bent over to pick up the remote?! Have you picked out cereal hiding in the folds where your neck should be!? Have you done any of that's like Lana!? No!? Well, THEN I GUESS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE THEN DO YOU!" she then began crying again "My life is over. I'm fatter than a pig! I'll never be on a runway ever again"

"Really? Says who?"

"how many obese blobs have you seen strutting on a runway?"

"don't know, never actually looked it up" Lola honestly didn't have a response for that "Look Lola, real talk? You really did deserve this for the way you've always acted. You always got whatever you wanted because you were cute, or hot when we got older. Now you can't bat your eyelashes and get things handed to you, you can reinvent yourself, turn into someone that isn't such so shallow." Lola grunted and glared at her sister "Hey don't shoot the messenger. Now that your "friends" have left you, this is an opportunity to make some real ones that will like you for you and not because your the queen beeeeaaiittchhh" Lola scowled at this but Lana ignored it as she began eating a chicken roll she had brought from home. Lola felt a tinge of jealousy that her sister got to eat something so tasty while she was stuck with a boring flavorless salad…wait since when did she think salads were boring and flavorless? Ignoring her twin Lola slowly picked and ate her salad.

By the time Lana had finished her chicken roll, Lola was halfway through her salad, basically forcing it down at this point. "Well I'm gonna go catch up with my friends before the next class, see ya later," Lana said, she then got up and walked away. About a minute later, Lola heard someone

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" Lola turned her head and saw a girl who was her age with short red hair, freckles, who wore an emerald green sweatshirt that had 'put food in me' stitched on the front, black yoga pants, and a pair of combat boots. But the thing that stuck out most about this girl was that she was about half of Lola's current weight.

"Uh sure" Lola replied and the girl placed down a tray loaded with food, the sight of which made Lola drool a bit.

"I don't think I've seen you around here before, my names Melody, what's your's?" she introduced while sticking out her hand

"I'm Lola, Lola Loud" she replied flatly.

Melody's eyes widened at this and lowered her arm as she saw flashes between this girl and the Lola Loud that occasionally made fun of her weight. "Uh…what happened to you?"

"My ex brother's mad scientist sister gave me a drug that made me blow up to this size"

"Wow, seriously?!"

"Yes, how else do you explain all of this" and he shook her stomach

"Voodoo?"

"What the? Voodoo?"

"What? You asked"

"*sigh* Whatever looks like I'm a permanent member of the lard ass club now"

"Oh no, you can't get in that easily, you need to accept your body and embrace your curves before you can become a member, like me" Lola gave Melody a questioning look

"Are you telling me that you're okay with being your current size?"

"Sure am"

"Why? I mean you could be thin and beautiful, why are you okay being a blob?"

"Heh. I'll let that one pass. well all of this is *grabs her belly* is the result of the medicine I take for my overactive thyroid. Without it my ability to lose or gain weight jump up and down like a yoyo." She sighed and smiled "I was really upset in the beginning because I thought I'd always been told that fat is disgusting and horrible, especially by my mom. But when I started packing on the pounds as a side effect of my medication, my mum was forced to accept that she would have a fat daughter and in turn, I accepted that I would never be thin again, so I started embracing my size. My weight is also the reason I'm studying fashion and design"

"Why's that?"

"Well if I'm being quite frank, most designer dresses and fashionable women's clothes are meant for slim women like you used to be. Clothing available for big girls like us is just plain and boring and more often than not designed to make us feel ashamed. See this sweatshirt, I made it myself"

"Really?"

"Yep, believe it or not, the hardest part about making this was stitching the o's in food" Lola gave a small laugh at this "so what classes are you taking?"

"I'm studying business and cosmetology"

"cool, as I previously stated, I'm studying fashion and design as well as business"

Lola raised a brow at this "you're studying business as well? Why haven't I seen you in there?"

"I typically like to stay in the back, it's harder for teachers to notice you there"

"Good point" the two chatted for a bit until Lola had to leave for her next class

"You wanna hang out after college today?" Melody asked,

"Where too?" Lola questioned

"Well I normally go to the gym after I've finished my classes for the day"

"You go to the gym?"

"Yeah, I can't do much about the fat, but muscle is something else altogether"

"Okay then, let's meet up out the front after"

"Cool, see you then" Melody finished before Lola got up and left.

At the end of the day, Lola exited the campus grounds and sure enough found Melody waiting "hey, so how was your class?" Melody asked

"Good if you ignore the looks, and yours?" Lola replied

"Awesome, okay let's go pump some iron" Melody declared dramatically and the two walked off to the gym which was only a few blocks away. By the time they arrived Lola was huffing and puffing while sweat poured down her, Melody, on the other hand, was only slightly winded. The two entered and paid to use the gym for two hours. The instructors were left speechless at Lola's immense size, but wisely kept their mouths shut. "okay walking her was a good warm-up" Melody said

"More *puff* like a *pant* full-blown *wheeze* workout *puff* for me" Lola wheezed out, the two waited for a bit for Lola to catch her breath. Once she had caught it, the two-headed to the treadmills first "uh, do you think these will support my weight?" Lola asked

"Only one way to find out" Melody replied, Lola then got on the treadmill which groaned under her weight Lola then started it up only for the machine to groan loudly as the tread tried to move, but Lola's immense weight prevented it.

"Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to get off that piece of equipment," one of the employees said. Lola stopped the machine and was now on the brink of tears

"Come on Lola, let's try the punching bag instead," Melody said as she began guiding the much larger girl to the punching bags.

Now sporting boxing gloves, Lola got ready to use the punching bag which Melody was holding in place "okay Lola, pretend the punching bag is someone you hate the most, and let them have it" Melody instructed, Lola pictured the punching bad as Leni Lard and began mercilessly wailing on it, to the point where it was starting to scare Melody a bit. Lola continued pounding on the punching bag for 20 minutes until she was on her hands and knees panting and drenched with sweat "so…did you work out all of your anger and frustration?"

"No *pant* that was *puff* just my *pant* pre-anger *pant* and frustration" Lola joked, making Melody giggle

"Let's take a 10 minute cool down period" after waiting 10 minutes, Lola had caught her breath and she and Melody switched roles with Lola holding the punching bag in place while Melody wailed on the bag. Being more used to it, Melody was able to last a bit longer than Lola, managing to last for 25 minutes before she was in the same state that Lola had been in. This time it was Melody who took the 10 minutes cool-down period.

"So how often do you come here?" Lola asked

"Twice a week, I work out on the equipment that can support my weight on Monday, and on Friday, I do yoga. On Wednesdays however, I do swimming, which is great for working out" Lola thought that she should try and take up swimming as well.

Once Melody had cooled down the two headed to the weights. Due to Lola being way too heavy for the machines, she was stuck lifting dumbbells. To her surprise, she found all of the dumbbells to be rather light and not offer much of a challenge, so instead tried lifting barbells. These proved to be more of a challenge. Melody was genuinely surprised at how strong Lola was, as were several people in the gym as Lola picked up 400lbs of weight. Lola used the weights for about 15 minutes before she ran out of energy. As she sat down on one of the benches, Melody sat down next to her while still using the dumbbells "that was incredible Lola, I don't think I could lift even half that much"

"Well I've always been stronger than usual, heck I could have my oldest sister face first on the ground begging for mercy back when I was six"

"How old was your oldest sister back then?"

"17"

"Wow, I would have hated to have crossed you as a kid"

"A lot of people did" suddenly a roar echoed through the gym making Lola go beet red and punch her stomach "shut up damn it!" she hissed, making Melody laugh.

"I think that's enough exercise, for now, let's head back" Melody suggested with Lola simply nodding in agreement. The two girls decided to take the long way back to the College, for both the exercise and the sights. Lola was both surprised and annoyed at what stores surrounded the gym

"A burger joint, a pizza joint, a bakery, and an all you can eat buffet restaurant, it's like they want you to stay fat so that you can keep coming to their gym"

"Yep, have you ever been to those places?"

"No, I tend to avoid them"

"Well, you don't know what you're missing out on. Each place has one item that is the best, if you go to Greasy's, get a Triple Aussie Burger. If you go to Slice's, get the hotdog stuffed meat-lovers pizza. Scroll's R' US has the best cinnamon scrolls. And Big Al's Buffet has the best desserts in town"

"I take it your palette is quite acquainted with these places?"

"Yep, and so is ma belly" and in the union, both of their stomachs roared "come on let's go to Scroll's" and before Lola could protest she was being dragged into the bakery.

"Hey, Sandy" Melody started

"Oh hey Mel, who's your friend?" Sandy asked

"This is my friend, Lola"

"Nice to meet you," Sandy said and she and Lola shook hands "so here for the usual?"

"Yep, and can you get my friend here one too please"

"Sure, two mega cinnamon scrolls coming up," said scrolls turned out to be a foot in diameter and 4 inches thick

'Jesus' Lola thought as she was handed the steering wheel sized cinnamon scroll. Melody paid for the cinnamon scrolls and the two left. Melody began tearing into hers with gusto, while Lola just looked at her's she was seriously tempted to throw it away when she remembered what Melody had just called her "you consider us friends?" Lola asked making Melody stop and look at her

"Well yeah, we've had lunch together, we've worked out together, and we're having cinnamon scrolls together, that's friendship in my book" Melody stated, Lola, in a moment of emotion threw her arms around Melody and embraced her in a hug, which Melody did her best to return.

When the two broke apart Lola was now beaming with happiness, glad that she had made a new friend. The two walked and chatted the whole way back to college, surprised that they had quite a few things in common. When they reached the college, the two exchanged numbers and went their separate ways, with Lola hopping in her car and Melody heading back to her dorm.

Several days later

It was now Friday and during the whole week, Lynn had been constantly taunted and bullied relentlessly by Anna and her friends. She had told teachers, but all they said was to tell Anna "that she didn't appreciate what Anna was doing". Lynn had said it to them, but as to be expected, they just laughed at her. Also during the week, Lynn had gotten to know more about her new friend, Sofia. She found out that she was even more athletically challenged than Lincoln had been back when they were kids. She also found out that Sofia liked to knit in her free time as well as play video games, and bake cakes and muffins. The old Lynn would have turned her nose up at the very idea of being friends with someone like that, but now she looked past that stuff and saw someone who would have her back through thick and thin. Sofia had also amazingly gotten Lynn into knitting. Lynn at first found the concept of knitting to be only for old people, but after giving it a try, she found it to be rather relaxing, especially given how her week has been so far.

Lynn was currently at her wit's end, for the whole week Anna and her friends had tormented and bullied her. Lynn had told teachers and even the principal, but all Anna got was a warning, which she brushed off. Lynn had been wanting to deck Anna and her friends the whole week but she held herself back. She knew it would be wrong to hit her, she may be 15 years old again, but she still had the mind of an adult…though even adults can snap when they're pushed far enough. Lynn had just finished biology and was headed to the cafeteria for lunch as she walked through the halls she saw a large group of kids gathered up "uh oh, Looks like a fight" she quickly made her way over to the crowd and forced her way through. When she got to the center she stopped and went wide-eyed as she saw Sofia on the ground with blood on the ground and a tooth.

"Well, well, the other loser has decided to join us," Anna said smugly while her friends held balloons filled with paint ready to throw them. At this point all Lynn could see was red, before she glared daggers at Anna and her friends. Anna flinched at this before returning with a firm look "how dare you. Don't look at me like that!" she snapped as Lynn walked over to her "okay girls, let her have it!" Anna's friends then threw the paint balloons at Lynn, with them all bursting on her, covering her in several different colors. As the girls laughed Lynn shot forward and swung her arm, punching Anna right in the center of her face, and sandwiching the bullies head between her fist and the now severely cracked wall.

The halls went deathly silent as everyone was now slack-jawed and bug-eyed at what Lynn had just done. Lynn removed her now blood-covered hand and Anna slid down and landed on her butt, now unconscious. "See! She's not untouchable!" Lynn declared before she helped Sofia up and helped her to the nurse's office

"Lynn do you know how much trouble you are in"

"Kinda, but, I don't feel one bit bad about hitting her. Maybe this will teach her a lesson"

"Or result in you getting expelled"

"Meh, if it happens it happens"

A short while Later

Lynn, Sofia, Anna's friends, Anna's friend's mothers, and Lincoln (who had the day off) were now in the principal's office. Anna had been taken away in an ambulance due to now having a crushed nose and possible head injuries. When Lincoln had gotten a call about Lynn getting into a fight, his first thoughts were that Lynn had started something and that he was going to give her an earful, but when he arrived and saw her covered in paint and no one else, he knew that she was most likely the victim in this whole thing. As everyone gave their accounts as to what happened the door to Principal Rivers office swung open and a smart-looking man in a suit came in with a stern look on his face "Okay, who's the monster who assaulted my daughter?!" he demanded

"Oh Mr. Goodwill, so glad you could join us" Principal Rivers stated

"I repeat, who's the monster who assaulted my daughter?"

"I was teaching her a lesson that all actions have consequences," Lynn said firmly, Anna's father was about to grab Lynn when Lincoln's much larger hand grabbed his wrist

"don't you dare touch her," Lincoln said in a cold tone

"Who are you? a bodyguard of hers"

"I'm her older brother, and I'm warning you not to touch her or her friend" and he let go of Mr. Goodwill's wrist

"When I'm done with this she's going to be spending the rest of her life behind bars"

"I'll be the judge of that," a woman's voice said, everyone, turned and saw an officer and a woman in plain clothing.

"Hey Mum and Dad," Sofia said with a slight whistle, the two parents gasped as they saw that their only daughter was now missing a tooth "oh my god sweetie what happened?" Sofia's Mum asked, Sofia then told them everything. Needless to say, both of Sofia's parents were livid

"What the hell kind of school are you running here?!" Sofia's dad snapped "that girl and her friends should be expelled from this school" an argument then broke out between the parents.

The argument soon came to a stop as Lincoln whistled loudly "okay, we have 2 injured girls and one covered in paint, check the security cameras and find out who's at fault, and who did what" Lincoln stated, the parents surprisingly all agreed with this.

After reviewing the security footage, as well as some yelling and finger-pointing, Lincoln, Principal Rivers, and Sofia's parents concluded that Lynn only acted in self-defense, and Anna and her friends could be charged with assault if Lynn and Sofia chose to press charges. Lynn turned to Sofia "you wanna press charges against these girls?" Lynn asked, Sofia was unsure if she should

"I…don't know" she replied in a meek voice

"Sof, tell me, how many times have these girls bullied you and treated you like garbage?" Sofia looked down "remember when we first met and they were playing keep-away with your shoes? You told me that they pinned you down to the ground and stole your shoes"

"…well…yeah"

"If we let them get away with this, they'll go back to thinking they're untouchable"

Sofia then began remembering all of the things that they had done to her, which made her ball her hands up into fists "dad, I want to press charges against them" Sofia said determinedly

"Same here Mr. Porter" Lynn added, making the police chief nod.

Soon Anna's friends were being led out of the school in handcuffs while crying and begging their mothers to help them. Lynn had been given 4 months of detention for punching Anna, which she fully accepted. And Sofia's dad had informed a fellow officer to go to the hospital to arrest Anna. Needless to say, Anna's father swore to sue Lynn and her family, though Sofia's mum assured them that he wouldn't win even if he did, she herself being a judge. Lincoln took Lynn home to clean up before he had to return her to school for detention. And Sofia's mum took her daughter to the dentist to see if they could put her tooth back in.

As Lynn and Lincoln hopped in Lynn's car (which she had given to Lincoln to use) Lincoln turned to his former sister "nice job Lynn" Lynn could tell by his tone that he wasn't angry or disappointed at her "I couldn't have punched a bully any better myself"

"Thanks"

"No prob now let's get you cleaned up" and with that Lincoln drove off for home.

Later

Like with Lynn, Lola had gotten to know her new friend better as well, she found out that her friend was just as skilled with a thread and needle as her sister Leni was. She found this out when she accidentally split her pants open during lunch and Melody offered to sow her pants back up. The two had gone swimming on Wednesday which Lola found extremely good for exercise at her current weight, mainly because there was nothing for her to break under her weight. The two had now finished their exercises for the day and Lola was now standing on a heavy-duty scale that the gym had, and saw her current weight with a frown

"Seriously!? I've hardly lost anything!" she said in a slightly frustrated tone.

Melody looked at the numbers "Lola. You lost '4 pounds' in less than a week. That's not anything. That's kind of worrying"

"Seriously?"

"That's double what you're supposed to safely be able to lose without starving yourself or having some medical condition. But you look totally fine" Lola gave her friend a 'seriously?' look "oh you know what I mean"

"How...much could I lose in a year if I keep this up?"

"At this rate? Well normally if you don't try to kill yourself you can drop between fifty to a hundred pounds in that time, but if 'this' is sustainable like your think. At most between a hundred and twenty to two hundred? Maybe" Lola's goal was her treasured hundred and nine like before. At that rate, if she works at it she could be back to herself within...five years...just like that bitch said.

Lola hopped ofF the scales and looked at her friend "Mel, do you ever wish that you were thin?"

"Huh? And give up this? *grabs her belly* no way! Sure I wish people who don't like my size would keep it to themselves, that's their issue, don't make it mine. Dieting? No way! Exercise? I do it to keep fit, not to lose weight. I've made my peace with myself. Why put yourself through all that when you can just enjoy yourself and look good doing it" strikes a pose and winks

"*sigh* I wish I was as confident with my weight as you are"

"Don't worry, you'll get there. Well let's grab something from the bakery and head back"

"Sounds like a plan," Lola said and the two left the gym. After getting a mega cinnamon scroll each, as well as a free box of doughnuts each, the two walked back to the college.

When Lola finally arrived back at the apartment she and Lana shared she had not only finished the mega cinnamon scroll but the whole box of doughnuts, which had been a 12 pack. Lana raised a brow at this "you keep eating like that you'll never be thin again"

"For your information miss grease monkey, I've lost 4 pounds since Monday"

"That would be impressive if you weren't under the influence of a drug that makes you easily lose weight"

"Yes, you're right, but still I am losing weight so I'm not going to be this size forever"

"And once you are back to your original size, what about Melody?"

Lola was curious for a bit, but then her eyes widened a bit as she realized what Lana was implying "If you think I'd be so shallow as to dump Melody as soon as I was thin again, then you're sorely mistaken. I would not stop being friends with someone based solely on how they look"

"Now that you know what that's like firsthand"

"Yes," Lola said, remembering the day when she found out that she had no true friends. Lola then sat down on the couch next to Lana, forcing her twin to move over to the very end of the couch, and even then, some of Lola's weight spilled onto Lana

'Can't wait for this to be over' Lana thought as the two continued to watch tv together.
