12:12 AM

Everyone was now heading for bed.

Lincoln passed out cold on his bed after giving a secret sensuous good night kiss to Luna, still partly dressed in his Batman costume. Lola and Lana were sleeping hard in their costumes as well, with Lisa and Lily knocked out cold for the night, Lisa in particular out for the count from her manic chocolate sugar rush from that evening. Lynn and Lucy tucked in earlier, Rita and Lynn Sr both slept soundly in their room, while Leni had just gotten comfy and was slowly letting her mind simmer down and settle, a small sweet smile glimmering on her face, thinking back to how Luan and her had a nice night, even after all the bad stuff at the Halloween party, and how Luan kept her safe and that nothing bad or weird happened…at least that's what Leni thought.

Luna and Luan were getting ready for bed, after having cleaned up the kitchen. They began undressing themselves, Luna still smiling and giddy from the fun night she had, Luan not so much, but was just happy to be home, safe and sound. Each got in their respective pajamas and were about to get into their beds, when suddenly Luna plopped down on the foot of Luan's bed with a big giddy grin on her face.

"So….wanna hear about my night Luan?"

"…your date with Linc? I'm pretty sure it went well, right?"

"It…was rocky at first ya know, with Carol and Becky…"

"Yeah….tell me about it," Luan said with a huff.

"And an overly miserable woman at the Goodwill that got us kicked out."

"Wait…what?"

"Some religious nut job that got all offended and blew up at us, all cause Lincoln was whistling a little bit, and of our costumes."

"…sounds like an idiot Luna; there was probably something fundamentally wrong with her…get it?"

"…hehe…well, besides being an idiot, I called her more than that….why we got kicked out probably."

"What, like the "c" word or something?"

"Yeah actually…quite a few times."

"Dang…so, you could say she was a contaminate….get it?"

"Hehe….yeah…I get that," Luna said with a grin. "But…the rest of the night…Luan…it was one of, if not, the best night of my life," Luna said with romantic air in her voice, now making a big goofy smile. Luan gave her own little smile, trying to enjoy the good news; she was still wrapped up mentally with her own night.

"And….I'll come clean Luan…"

"Come clean Luna?"

"We didn't just go see that Godzilla movie….or just the haunted house."

"Oh?"

"…I snuck bro and myself into the spa."

"…WHAT!?"

"It's been something I've been doing for the last two Halloweens, a special spot, a hot tub used by the manager that I know how to access secretly…and I wanna take you with me sometime."

"…huh?"

"Luan, you've done more for me than anyone I know. You deserve some relaxation…and those hot water jets are spectacular on your body."

"Well…thanks Luna…but-"

"And I know how you have those foot pain problems occasionally. I think those jets would do wonders on your feet."

"I…I don't think I'd be totally in to sneaking into a spa…but, I'm glad you and Linc had a good time…maybe…maybe one day soon we can go there, ya know, legally."

"….naaahhh! Gotta show you a good time with a little risk and danger! And besides, that's the best damn hot tub around. We…we learned a lot of things about each other tonight…me and Lincoln…and we ended on a wet note," Luna said with a cheeky, sensual tone. Luan's eyes just went wide in surprise.

"Luna…did you and Lincoln take each other's virginities tonight?"

"No…he wants to keep his for a while…I don't blame him. But….holy heck is he good at things…and I almost got good at something too."

"Huh…maybe I should avoid the details," Luan said sheepishly, in her own mind trying to decipher what Luna meant by details.

"But enough about my night Luan! How was the Halloween party?"

"Oh shit…" Luan dreaded, now wishing she focused more on the lucid details of Luna and Lincoln's night.

"…well…it was…something, that's for sure."

"Luan…what's wrong? Something happen there dude?"

"Well…a lot of things happened…things I probably should have double-checked big time…and frickin Lori as well."

"Whoa…what went down exactly?"

"Ya know how I've been practicing my comedy routines for the last few days Luna?"

"Yeah."

"Well…that was a complete waste of time; turns out I shouldn't have listened to Leni when she said it was a comedy Halloween party; it was a karaoke Halloween party…"

"HELL YEAH! THAT'S EPIC!" Luna roared happily as she rocked her head back and forth, pretending to play her guitar.

"…easy for you. You're the musician in the family…Leni signed me up for what she thought was a comedy stand-up deal, when it turns out she signed me up for karaoke."

"….wow….only Leni dude," Luna said while shaking her head with a bemused grin. "So, I take it you didn't do the karaoke then."

"Oh no….the guy needed someone to do karaoke. I freaked out of course, but he offered two-hundred bucks to me to do it…and I did."

"YOU DID MATE!?"

"Yup…sang in front of over two-hundred people….I could only do it to one of my favorite songs."

"What's that dude?"

"Cascada's Everytime We Touch."

Luna just looked at Luan for a moment, before falling on the ground and rolling around hysterically laughing her eyes out.

"HEY! That…that song's personal to me Luna."

"OH….oh man….sorry Luan…I just….couldn't hold it…didn't take you to like Eurodance music."

"Normally I don't, but the lyrics and music…they just…hit me, ya know."

"I know dude. I mean, I don't know about the song per say, but I get it, the feeling. Sometimes the music just connects to your soul; it's the best feeling around."

"Yeah…I understand now what you feel when you sing Luna…it's like when I make people laugh…it's a really good feeling, seeing the crowd jamming with you."

"That's what I been trying to mean all these years dude; it's an awesome feeling to be rockin with the crowd….so…what else happened?"

Luan thought about this…whether to tell Luna about how everything seemed awesome and wonderful….before it spiraled down into a really…complicated and shocking night.

"Well…promise you won't tell mom and dad this Luna?'

"Promise, but to what?"

"Well…Leni...myself and Lori…royally screwed up at not closely looking at the electronic flyer for this Halloween party…turns out it was secretly set as a….a..a…"

"What Luan?" Luna asked in slight concern.

"Okay….the party turned into a …giant retro-music costumed orgy party."

"…..WHAT THE FUCK?"

Luan shushed Luna, then popped open her cell phone, looking at the online breaking news section of the Royal Woods Daily Tribune. Luan played a video of aerial footage; a helicopter circling above a large warehouse with dozens upon dozens of police cruisers and other emergency vehicles hailing out hundreds of naked, drugged out young people caught up in the gigantic orgy mess.

"…holy shit Luan…you and Leni went to that? And you didn't get busted?"

"Hang on to your guitar rock-girl! We got out of there just before the cops came. It…it was….the weirdest and most uncomfortable deal I've been in…and poor Leni-"

"LENI! HOLY SHIT! IS SHE OKAY!?"

"Leni…" Luan paused, still unsure about this herself, not since the things that went down between her and Leni, but Luan decided to play it safe, "….Leni's fine…she was freaked all to hell and terrified…but I managed to keep us out of that whole situation for a while."

"…WHY THE FUCK WOULD LORI SEND YOU TWO TO THAT!?" Luna roared out in rage, now reaching for her temporary cell phone.

"WAIT! LUNA! HOLD UP!"

"NAW DUDE! FUCKING LORI'S SCREWED UP ONE TOO MANY TIMES ON THIS ONE!"

"Luna….let me handle this….please," Luan asked, pleading Luna to not interject herself in this whole ordeal.

"…are you sure Luan?"

"I'm…I'm sure…I've got my own plans to talk with Lori…it's partly my fault for not checking on the details of this party; usually I do that, but I was trying to make Leni happy…and she gets wound up being hit on by Carol and Becky and…oh shit….I said that out loud…"

"….I'M FUCKING CALLING HER!" Luna roared, before Luan ripped the cell phone from Luna's grasp.

"NO LUNA! I'M TAKING CARE OF THIS!"

"I'M YOUR OLDER SISTER! I GOTTA WATCH OUT FOR YOU! AND LENI TOO! GIVE ME MY CELL!"

"AND WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DOING FOR YOU LATELY!? WATCHING YOUR'S AND LINCOLN'S BACK! LUNA!...Luna…please…you owe me this…"

"….al….alright dude…I don't like this….but I'll let you work this out…and Leni and Lori? How are ya gonna figure that out? Cause now I really wanna kill those girls…fucking Carol and Becky. Ya know, Carol I'd expect would pull this kinda shit, but Becky? The fuck's up with her? She's always been nice! Now? Huuuuuhhh…..fucking with Lincoln is one thing, but Leni? That's just….low….what the fuck?" Luna said with seething anger.

"Luna, if it's any consolation…I decked both of them."

"Whoa…seriously?"

"Yeah…they were doing a huge orgy and came out of their room…and tried to re-convince Leni and then me to join them….to do things to each other…then I knocked both of them out."

"….wicked," Luna grinned, now grasping Luan in a big hug. Luan was about to tell Luna what she did to Terri, but erred on the side of caution and held that little detail back; she had more on this brand of debauchery for later.

"I'm sorry they did that to you little sis," Luna said, holding her even closer, "…and poor Leni; she's clueless and naïve about sex, drugs and stuff like that."

"Not really," Leni said lowly.

"What Luan?"

"NOTHING!...uhhh…." Luan mumbled, now feeling awkward about this, Luna looking a bit surprised.

"So….what are you gonna do Luan? Ya gotta talk to Lori about this."

"I know. I think she may have honestly not known about the whole implied drug-filled orgy thing, but…she dropped the ball big time, and with what Leni's been through…I can't let that go."

"I agree…I'm a bit surprised she hasn't called you or Leni yet."

"She's probably busy doing something with Bobby. Otherwise she would have heard about what went down at that party by now."

"And anyhow Luan, Dana and Chaz said they were gonna look out for Leni; what the heck happened to them?"

"…they were getting it on with each other in the back warehouse for a long time; they totally forgot about Leni…or just got too enraptured and thought Leni would welcome some release…I dunno, but I was pissed off at them the most. They promised Lori they'd show Leni a good time and keep watch of her…for a while it was really fun, and Leni sang karaoke with me-"

"Hold up! Leni sang with you too?"

"Ye…yeah…there was a part of the song that…made me cry and stutter…and Leni comes barreling out with a microphone and sings the next set of lyrics to me….it really lifted me up Luna…how sweet she can be…so bubbly…we did a duet…and I played my kazoo instrument I've been wanting to try in an act for a long time," Luan said with a little smile.

"I always thought that thing was epic, why I want you to jam with me on that thing some time."

They stayed silent for a moment, before Luan begrudgingly continued on.

"…so…after the karaoke…I go use the restroom…and then I find the music being more retro-synth like and hear moaning and groaning…and go into several rooms…just to see a bunch of young college and high school kids getting it on with, on, around and all over each other…it fucking sucked," Luan huffed, closing her eyes, shaking a little. Luna held her shoulder in support.

"Why? Cause you wanted to join them," Luna said with a cheeky grin.

"Ha ha, very fucking funny….no….it just…the whole environment felt…so…visceral and grungy…hot, humid, sweaty….those sex odors…god damn Luna, it was just so unpleasant and weird."

"Well I can't begin to imagine how fucked it was…particularly for Leni."

"…that's the worst part…I wasn't there to protect her from Carol and Becky when she needed me the most," Luan said with a tinge of sadness, now feeling tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Luan," Luna said nurturingly, holding and rocking Luan into her frame.

"…and I saw Maggie again."

"…whoa….Maggie was there?"

"Yeah…you thought we had a fucked week…but Luna…she lost her entire family in the tornado."

"Oh my god!"

"Yeah…and now she's leaving for Washington state with her family…it…it got a little too real with her and me…she did keep me safe from that fuckery of an orgy though…till….things got awkward."

"…you kiss her again? You told me you smoked a blunt last time you kissed her."

"I did…and she kissed me. It was my first kiss from anyone ever…and even though I don't totally like Maggie like that, apparently she liked me…a lot."

"Wow…you and Maggie…where'd that come from," Luna said with an amused tone.

"Just to be specific, she asked if she could kiss me, a present for the road so to speak. But yeah…her life's kinda in shambles now…and I felt so bad for her…I let her kiss me one last time…before she goes away forever."

"Holy shit Luan…did….did you and Maggie…ya know?"

"No…it was a passionate kiss, nothing more, and nothing else happened…I've been feeling so confused and conflicted lately that…I admit, it felt kinda nice."

Luna just looked at Luan with surprised eyes, now kinda blushing herself. Luan saw this and blushed herself.

"So…Luan…do you like girls?"

"I….I dunno….I'm starting to think that I'm….flexible…I like guys a lot….some…certain ones," Luan said, but really meaning one certain one, "…a whole lot…yeah."

Luan began, thinking back to her love of Lincoln, how that felt like her most powerful secret bond she had with a guy, "…but I'll be honest and admit…some girls make me feel…things. It's not necessarily lust….well…it is…but it's kinda like me and Maggie have this weird checker-board history…it's not much, but we had a good time…and I like her…not like, like her, but I could imagine myself…what I mean is…I feel things for people…like…sexual things…for people that I make strong emotional connections with. I…I dunno if it's strictly just emotional though. I could be feeling lust and other things…Maggie was my first kiss, and even though we didn't really hang out much after that, and I have had…other guys on my mind that I have really, really powerful connections with…I get weird feelings occasionally for girls too. Does that make sense Luna?" Luan asked with tiny tears coming out, feeling extremely awkward at trying to rationalize and come to grips with what's been on her mind.

Luna gave a supportive smile.

"…that's not that crazy sounding at all Luan. I mean…I gotta admit…I'm no straight angled-angel myself either."

"What?"

"Lincoln…Lincoln and I know…at least he suspects, and he's probably right…that I can tend to stare at girls sometimes too. It's just…I love Lincoln, more than I can really say or mean…but sometimes girls turn me on too. I…I guess…Luan…you and me are a little bi."

"Huh…I mean…that would explain things...but I'm…I don't know if I'm bi or not…cause I just didn't really spontaneously jump into the idea of screwing a woman…it's like…these strange feelings I got…they need to have a strong emotional connection first."

"I get ya Luan…that's kinda me too. I knew this one girl a few years back really well, when I had my eyes on this one guitarist dude; they were a couple, him and her, but for some reason, I wanted to….I wanted both…that's pretty fucked , huh?"

"…I guess we're just messed up, huh Luna?" Luan said with a comical grin.

"…And it turns out they were pricks, so I got way turned off for a long while…till…you know…Linc was catching my eye more and more when we spent time together. I mean there's nothing on Earth that's gonna tear me from Lincoln…and he knows about my…little distractions…he's cool with it too."

"Really?"

"Yeah. We even had fun with the idea a little, and we even joked about him being bi too. He ain't…I don't think he is…yeah, he's one-hundred percent straight as they come, just…ya know, he likes his women with a closer blood type."

"Good lord Luna," Luan chuckled.

"…so…yeah…what the hell do we call ourselves?" Luna asked openly, "cause…as warped as you may think yourself to be, I'm actually doing actual incest…dating my brother and in love with him with some proclivities for the same sex…doing things with him…at least you don't got all that on your plate," Luna said with a wily grin.

"Think again," Luan said slyly.

"What?"

"Nothing…"

"Luan…you…you didn't do anything…crazy at that orgy…did you?"

Luan's eyes went wide, now fully gelled in the memories of her and Leni.

"Cause…I wouldn't think any less of you if you did; it was a screwed up time, and I understand if ya needed to get your rocks off-"

"I'm still a virgin Luna," Luan said, before thinking in her head, "…at least I think I am technically…and Leni too.

Nothing….nothing went down," Luan lied, trying to convince herself that, but knowing full well something did go down, something life-changing in many respects. She thought to herself"….Leni and me…I don't know if I can call that really Leni per say…what I dry-humped hard…but I basically dry-fucked Leni…"

"…so we still got our flowers, even after what we went through, you more…stressfully…and Leni too?" Luna said openly.

"Yeah….yeah…Leni too…," Luan mumbled incoherently.

"Well…at least we know Leni's a bit tougher and more pure than we give her credit for, right Luan?"

"Yeah…pure…right," Luan tapered off, still conflicted by the fact that a side to Leni she never knew about, seemed to have successfully seduced her…and as shameful for Luan to admit …she liked it.

"Why do you think that party happened anyways Luan? The way it went down?" Luna asked curiously.

"Probably cause it was a bunch of horny high school and college kids like us who wanted to get their rocks off, vent ya know? The economy sucks, they can barely find jobs...we're all in a sort of tailspin rut, the tornadoes that devastated the region…they were letting off some steam with each other."

"That's a very charitable way of puttin it dude."

"...doesn't mean I'd go to one of those."

"...I'd go for the karaoke, and get the hell out of there after that. Drugs dude...they cause you to do things that you normally wouldn't do."

"You say that like you have prior experiences with it Luna."

"...maybe a little. Never again though; puked my guts out from a drinking contest with a couple drummers a while back, but that's how I won my Russian guitar in that bet. And you ain't exactly inexperienced yourself, Miss "Smoke a Doobie."

"Like I said Luna, one time...never again after that. My mind went...way off course and allowed some things to happen...that kiss with her being one of them."

"...bet you liked it comedy-girl."

Luan blushed a bit, looking away sheepishly.

"I...may have been baked, but it was...kinda sweet...does that mean between the two of us, I'm the only one to have kissed a girl?"

"Yeah...funny, me being the rocker, ya think I would have done that before you. Life's funny like that, eh mate?"

"Yeah...funny...haha."

"I'll bet actually...ya wanted ta French kiss and make out with Maggie then," Luna said with a wicked grin towards Luan.

"No, not like that really Luna."

Luna turned around and wrapped her arms around her body, doing a bad vocal impression of Luan and rocking her frame back and forth mockingly, "Oh Maggie; please...please French tongue me...ooohhh..."

"Luna you perv!" Luan said with aggravated laughing.

"Ooooohhhhhh Maggie! Aaaaahhhhhh! Please take me! Take my flower! Defile my flower Maggie!"

"You are such a fucking perv Luna! That's not funny," Luan said, trying not to laugh while getting red, flustered in embarrassment.

"AUUHHH...Auuooohhh Maggie! Right there...yes...YES! OH GOD!"

"Shut up Luna!" Luan said, totally flustered and peeved.

"Ohhhh...OH GOD! FINGER-FUCK ME RIGHT THERE MAGGIE! YES! YES!"

"THAT'S IT YOU FUCKING PERV!" Luan roared, rocketing over on Luna's frame and flipping her over, pulling out a random feather, slamming into and straddling Luna, tickling her belly and all her exposed skin.

"AAHHHHAHAHA! NOOOO! GOD DAMN IT! NOT THE TICKLES! NO! NOT AGAIN! HAHAHHAHAAAAHHA!"

"I outta tell Lincoln your one weakness, you pervy little musician! After the stunt you just pulled!" Luan snicker-yelled, smiling devilishly at Luna as she pinned her down and tickled her mercilessly.

"YOU...HAHHAHAHA! YOU'RE GONNA GET IT LUAN! I SWEAR TO FUCK LUAN! HAHAHAHAHHAH!"

"I love how all it takes is a simple feather to completely humble you to a blithering mess rocker-girl."

"HA! YOU...KNOW WHAT HAHHAHAHAHHA...THEY SAY!"

"What Luna?" Luan asked, before Luna managed to sneak-grapple her arm and take the feather from Luan, now brushing it against Luan's nose.

"Birds of a feather flock together, get it?"

"HAHHAA! HEY! THAT'S MY SCTICK...AHAHAHA! NO! NOT MY NOSE!" Luan screamed out laughing, Luna now going on the offensive and flipping Luan violently, mercilessly tickling her nose and cheeks.

"I knows your weakness Luan, get it?"

"HAHHAHHA...YOU SUCK! HAHAHHAHA!"

"There's a bit of truth in that statement bruh! NOW TAKE YOUR TICKLES!"

Luna pressed her body harder down on Luan's, Luna not letting up on tickling Luan's apparently ticklish face, cheeks and nose especially. Luan giggled hysterically and happily as Luna laughed, winning against Luan at tickling for the first time.

Both were smiling hard, happy and jolly…till they paused for a moment and realized how close they were; Luna was pressed hard against Luan's frame, their breasts smashed into each other's now, their faces extremely close to one another.

Luna stopped, now looking at Luan straight in the eye, both having a strange, electrifying stare into each other's vision. Luna was locked in her stare with Luan, Luan the same. They were sweating hard, breathing virtually into each other's mouths…their lips could almost touch. They could feel their bodies beginning to shake and vibrate a little against each other nervously.

"Huh….dude….we're….super close right now," Luna blankly commented.

"Ye…yeah…really close," Luan said weakly.

They both looked down, seeing how their pajama shirts showed large amounts of cleavage for either of them, and their upper breasts, bare and exposed, were pressed hard into one another.

"…well…this got awkward," Luna said with a sheepish smile, Luan now perfectly frozen, unable to think of a reaction.

"…you…have a really nice coconut smell to you Luan," Luna said heavily, looking intently into Luan's eyes.

"And…you have a pleasant vanilla odor….wait….hold up…Luna, what's that other smell….besides that spa smell….something really pungent on your face," Luan asked both cautiously and nervously while giving out tepid sniffs.

Luna rose off of Luan in one slow, inching awkward motion, her eyes mortified in width and expression.

"…he's still all over me…it…"

"What is Luna?"

"…you probably don't wanna know. Dang…should a washed my face first…sorry Luan."

"Sorry for what Luna? You can tell me. All I said was that besides the smell of vanilla and hot tub chlorine on you, your face as another smell I can't quite put my nose on."

Luna rubbed her neck awkwardly.

"…believe me…you don't wanna know."

"Luna….you said you and Lincoln learned a lot about each other tonight…and ended on a wet note…am…I gonna read more into that expression and be…right?"

"….I can't say you're wrong dude...I'm…gonna go take a shower…so you don't…god damn this is awkward," Luna mumbled, grabbing a towel and heading towards their door, Luan still curled under her sheets now putting in the wily details from Luna's obscure descriptions.

"…s…sorry Luan. I need to make sure I wash up like that after Lincoln…shit…well…it's kinda out now…unless, you want the-"

"No details Luna…I…can guess pretty much what I just smelled," Luan said, now frozen in place.

"…I'll try and make sure I don't get too close next time like that," Luna said with a bit of urgency, blushing brightly at Luan before hurriedly heading for the shower. Luan just kept curled in her bed, staring at the wood at the foot of their bunk bed.

"Did…did I just smell Linc's load on Luna's face?"

12:57 AM

Meanwhile in Lucy and Lynn's room, Lynn was wiggling back and forth, having a strange dream, before opening her eyes wide and feeling tingly again. She was winning a huge game, and Lincoln was giving her congratulatory hugs and kisses in private.

"…ah man….that was actually a nice drea…..what the hell?" she groaned out, looking down by Lucy's bed. Lucy was putting a ring of black-painted gourds on the floor, surrounding her bed. She saw Lucy, barefoot and hunched over painting some gourds by the wall with her usual plain face, though she seemed to have a weird little grin on her.

"Hi Lynn…" she said quietly, before taking these gourds and moving them side-by-side in a curve, touching the wall.

"There…my own safe dark domain," Lucy mumbled, before walking around the perimeter of the black gourds into a little entrance, a gap in the gourd line.

Lynn looked down lazily at the opening gap; both sides were bordered by the gourds she used earlier on herself, just painted black.

Lynn's eyes flipped right open.

"What's the matter Lynn? Is something…wrong?"

"Uhh….nnn..nnooth…nothing Lucy," Lynn smiled sheepishly, "…so….what's up with you?"

"…this is my dark domain to dwell. The black gourd spirits will keep me in line and help manage my dark soul's engorging of so much…activity."

"Huh?"

"Nothing…you wouldn't understand…"

"So…where'd ya get all the gourds Luc?"

"…I found them on porches…laying around…left overs about to be thrown away. I believe I can use them to help me overcome my coming…crisis."

"Crisis Lucy?"

"…forbidden things Lynn…so many…many forbidden things…dark…things…don't worry yourself about it so much…and do you like my line?"

"Well…I don't do that hocus-pocus luck stuff anymore Lucy…not after the shit show with Lincoln and the squirrel costume."

"I figured as much…but the spirits don't lie…black gourds will protect me," Lucy said with an even more unsettling grin, looking now at Lynn.

"Would you like to touch my gourds Lynn?"

"N…no thanks Lucy," Lynn said, totally creeped out, more than usual by her.

"Are you sure? I…have two I think you'd like…particularly well," Lucy said with a not-so monotone voice, now getting off her bed and grabbing the two gourds Lynn knew all too well.

"Uh…Lucy….wh…where'd ya get those two?" Lynn asked, her expression mortified, Lynn now bringing the covers closer to her face.

"Oh…I found them…that's all that matters…aren't they…lovely Lynn?" Lucy asked, wiggling her fingers around them.

"I painted them black of course…that's my thing you know…but…they have a very…very pungent smell to them…almost like…wet…hot…moist frothing skin…and those lindor white chocolate truffle candies you like so much…funny coincidence, huh?"

"Uhh….ye…yeah….right Lucy," Lynn said nervously, before she saw Lucy bring them closer to her face.

"They…they represent something…a transition…in a ways…from childhood…to adulthood…or at the very least…an intermediary in the strange dark web we call life," Lucy said, now revealing her eyes to Lynn; they looked noticeably wider and deranged. The few times Lynn ever saw her eyes, they were always cool and unemotional…but her eyes seemed way too animated with life…too much focus and obsession.

"Lucy…are you alright?"

"I'm…fine Lynn," Lucy said with an out-of-the blue smile, before she suddenly licked both gourds. Lynn nearly passed out from seeing that.

"Lucy…something is up with you…you're never this creepy, and you can get really, really creepy."

"Mmmmmm…even with the paint, they still have that lindor white chocolate smell and taste…and don't be silly Lynn…I'm just…getting adjusted to the madness and absurdity that we exist in…ha….haha…..hahaha…..hahahhahahahaha."

"….holy shit," Lynn winced, before she grabbed both gourds from Lucy.

"Lynn….give me those back….I need them for my protective line," Lucy said with her monotone voice again.

"N…no….you…you don't want these gourds Lucy," Lynn said in a stuttered panic. "Let…let me get you better ones! These are…dumb ones."

"…give them to me Lynn."

"N…no Lucy."

Lucy suddenly rocketed right at Lynn, trying to struggle the gourds out of Lynn's hands; it was pointless given how much stronger she was, but it frightened Lynn to see how savage and wily Lucy got so out-of-nowhere.

"LUCY! LUCY PLEASE STOP!"

"I NEED THEM! THEY'LL HELP ME COPE!"

"WITH WHAT LUCY!? WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY HELP WI-"

"IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!" Lucy roared in a more rattled, intense version of her monotone voice.

"…wh….what?" Lynn asked in confusion. Lucy suddenly slid off Lynn, now curling on the floor in a ball and shook.

"Lucy…tell me what you saw."

"I…I saw you…with those," Lucy whimpered, "…you…with those gourds…doing things to yourself with them."

Lynn just stared in shock, mortified beyond belief at what Lucy was telling her; she caught Lynn jerking off with the gourds.

Lynn jumped off her bed and got on the ground with Lucy.

"Lu…Lucy….I…I'm so...so sorry you saw that," Lynn said weakly, trying to grab a hold of Lucy's shaking body.

"Lynn…w…why?"

"…it's…because I've been going through a few things myself lately…and I wanted to experiment a little on myself…holy heck…I'm sorry Lucy…I thought I had the door locked….god damn it."

"I…was trying to be nice and bring you some food and a drink…you seemed a little off when I checked up on you…and then I…I saw you…I saw you, okay?" Lucy whimpered, sighing heavily into her small, delicate arms. Lynn pulled her up and carried her to her bed.

"I…I dunno what else to say Lucy…I…I screwed up."

"It's…not your fault Lynn…you're developing…it…seeing you do that to yourself though…pleasuring yourself," Lucy said before shivering, Lynn herself looking totally ashamed of herself now," it…I felt like I was pushed to my limit…that's why I was making this…this stupid thing," Lucy said, wiggling out of Lynn's grasp and kicking several of the gourds in line out of place with what seemed like self-disgust and mortification.

"I've been reading a lot, learning a lot…about others…about myself…about my curiosities…I dunno how much more I can take…I can take a lot…but…"

"Lucy…answer me honestly…did you hear me say anything?" Lynn asked fearfully.

"No…you're head was pressed in the mattress hard; all I heard was muffled screaming…but I don't think you were screaming in fear…"

"No…I wasn't," Lynn said, internally sighing in relief; at least Lucy didn't hear who she was screaming and pleasuring herself to, otherwise that would have really, really made this situation all the more intense, awkward and stressful.

"…I'm sorry Lynn…I think I lost it for a little bit tonight…I…my mind is usually more stable and secured."

"I know…as dark as you can get, you're usually the most emotionally stable and durable of us Louds...I should have stuck a 2x4 against the door when I...god damn me...GOD DAMN ME! Lynn roared, running over to her closet and grabbing one of her baseball bats, rearing and readying to slam it on her own head.

"STOP!" Lucy yelled, running in the space between Lynn's arms, putting herself between the bat and Lynn. She then hugged Lynn hard.

"Please...please don't hurt yourself...please Lynn."

Lynn, still angered with self-disgust, dropped the bat on her bed, and began tearing up at the sight of Lucy tearing up in front of her.

"Please...don't hurt yourself Lynn...on my account. I've been...going through some development stuff too Lynn...it's been hard on me, what with all the scary and stressful things our family's been through lately...but...please...don't hurt-"

"I'm sorry Lucy," Lynn whimpered, choking slightly on her words as Lucy just kept tearing up, streams of lamentations going down her cheeks. Lucy put her head into Lynn's chest as Lynn held onto her tight.

"I'm sorry for being so...out-of-whack lately Lucy...I'm...changing a lot...and damn...I keep forgetting you're only eleven years old. You shouldn't have to be around that...I'm sorry," Lynn whimpered, now holding onto Lucy tight and crying in her shoulders.

"...I don't wanna see anyone get hurt...and I feel like something's going to happen...something horrific, that's going to tear our family apart, and it's making me feel things...thing I shouldn't even feel."

"I...kinda know what you mean Lucy. My mind's been all screwed up lately...I take it I screwed yours up more."

"Not so much...screwed up...but I just...I wasn't as strong in the head as I thought...being able to cope with a lot of things on my mind...and seeing you do that to yourself...I don't want to stop you from doing things that will make you feel good for yourself Lynn...but..."

"...I'll put a 2x4 piece of wood, or a bat lying next to the door out...or just do it when no one's around...and again...I don't know how else to say it Lucy...I screwed up."

"That's not the only thing you screwed."

"Did...did you just crack a pun Lucy?"

"...I think I did."

Lynn started chuckling hard, before Lucy herself started quietly laughing, both in each other's arms.

"Good lord...that was awkward," Lynn said, now smiling and wiping the tears off her face.

"...I know...everything feels awkward and weird lately...and thanks for bringing me back Lynn."

"What do you mean? I thought I pushed you over the edge?"

"...you also saved me; I went a little...unstable and darker than usual."

"Well, I want my gloomy sister back, not this creepy dark sister."

Lucy broke off from Lynn, and began throwing out all the black-painted gourds circling her bed out their window.

"...what the hell was I thinking? Black gourd spirits? That's macabre even by my standards."

"Mahoosawhats?" Lynn asked baffled.

"Nothing...and those other two," Lucy pointed at, on Lynn's bed," ...I can get the paint off...and give them back to you...if you want."

"Whoa...Lucy, it's okay, seriously, ya don't wanna touch those...you...you don't wanna know where they've been."

"...I know the curved one was inside you, while you rubbed the other one on your uh...ehm...other spot."

Lynn blushed hard as Lucy spoke plainly and matter-of-fact to her.

"Sorry...too much detail Lynn?"

"...I'm just surprised...a little...hey Lucy, what's a word or expression for like, unable to say a word from shock?"

"...speechless, dumbstruck, lost for words, bereft of speech...there's a few."

"Yeah...all of the above. So...yeah...I'm sorry ya found out like this, but...that's how I...feel good."

"...I understand. We all need something that makes us feel good. Even if it confuses us and causes us to have profoundly strange, deeply confusing feelings."

"...I got those too Lucy...I got em bad...cause...are you okay if we toss the ball on this really awkward topic? You seem to know a lot more than you should for your age."

"Lately I've been having to make it a personal mission to understand human development and relationships for our ages and older...why?"

"Well...I...I think I might be bi...but...not bi at the same time...it's about...my connection with them...does that make sense?"

"...you mean you could imagine being with a girl as well as a boy, but only if you got a strong bond with them already?"

"Yeah...that. Exactly...but...it might be that I'm also kinda attracted to girls...with certain qualities...I dunno Lucy. I've never opened up like this about how I feel before. I always liked boys...yeah...guys...and for a while one in particular, though I've been coming to grips with realizing that I do like him...but I've also had weird imaginations...about him wearing weird animal lingerie...and being with a female version of him...and weirdly enough...a copy of me...is that weird?"

Lucy just stared at her head on, back to her unemotional standard. She walked to her bed, Lynn thinking she really crossed the line now and getting red hot from flustered embarrassment.

Lucy suddenly patted a spot on her bed as she got up in it.

Lynn walked over and climbed up with her, as both snuggled together under the covers, looking up and being silent.

"...I think we're all discovering things about ourselves...about each other Lynn...and we have to be strong...supportive...even if those things confuse and aghast us...cause one day, we might realize that we may be going down that rabbit hole ourselves."

Lynn blushed hard, thinking suddenly about Lincoln, him in his bunny lingerie in her imagination...and Lucy saying "rabbit hole."

"Whoa...why the fuck did that turn me on?" Lynn asked herself alertly.

"Lynn...do you hear me?"

"Uh...yeah...and...thanks for listening to me Lucy...about things that have been...hitting me like a ton of bricks."

"Does this boy...or girl..."

"It's a guy Lucy, and yeah, he goes to school around my high school."

"Hmmm...and he's making you feel things?"

"...big time...like I blush just from thinking about him…being around him...I dunno Lucy...but I think...I might really...really like him, more than just in a lusty, horny way, though that's a big part of it too. It's like...I could imagine being with him forever...but if he was a girl...I'd still be with him forever...it's kinda a weird interplay of lust and connection...of our relationship...that make sense?"

"It does Lynn...and it's kinda sweet. And you really care for him?"

"…I'd kill for him Lucy."

"…then I think you need to face this truth; you're in love with him."

"…..ooooohhhhhh shiiiiiit," Lynn thought in her head.

"Lynn?"

"So….yeah…I might be in love with a boy I know…like feet over arches like love."

"….that's head over heels, but I get what you mean. And…have you told him about the way you feel?"

"No…no way in hell. He's…been through a lot lately…the last month. I don't wanna put any stress on him."

"You say it would be stressful for you to confess to him. Is…he gay?"

"Ha! Far from it Luc."

"Is this boy on your football team Lynn?"

"No….I don't like jock guys too much anymore…but this guy…he's close…he's one of the nicest guys around," Lynn said with a conservative smile slowly growing bigger on her,"…and he sees me as a woman."

"But you are a woman Lynn."

"But not to a lot to the sports guys I've tried to get with, or guys in general that want mindless copies of Luan, Leni and Luna…cause ya know, their bodies."

"Male teens can be like that; it's not totally their fault, it's just genetics and their upbringing."

"Well, it made me realize for me, that this one guy…he treats me like a woman, and not just some jock sports star; he's not afraid of me….well, he sometimes is, but he's not afraid of me like guys usually are. He sees me as more than just a football player, more than a tough sporty teenager. Lucy…I think I love this guy, and I don't know if I should tell Lin…I mean this guy, about how I feel or not. I do, and wanna see how this could go. But…it might backfire, big frickin time. I'm a little older, and he's…just too sweet and wonderful for me to take that chance and risk what we got. Ya know what I mean Lucy?"

"I have an inkling Lynn. I just hope you do what you feel is best. And I'll support you. I think you'd might want to tell him, or you may regret it…and I'd support you."

"I'm not sure you would suppo….never mind. Well…I need to hit the sack. I'm getting tired as heck."

"Can…you sleep with me tonight Lynn?"

"…sure Lucy. Anything for my favorite little gloomy princess of darkness," Lynn warmly said as Lucy rolled over and Lynn scooted up behind her, wrapping her arms around Lucy's body.

"Haaaahhhh….just like when we were much younger, huh Lucy?"

"…when I was five you held me like this. I still remember Lynn; I had a bad dream that made me cry, and you kept me happy and safe."

"Of course I would; I love you Lucy."

"And I love you too Lynn. Good…good night…and thanks again for saving me."

"Anytime Lucy…just warn me if I'm the one pushing off the primeval cliff again."

"…proverbial cliff…and I will Lynn."

And like that, they were snuggled and cuddled together in Lucy's bed, both slowly drifting to sleep, breathing lightly and contently.

---

1:45 AM

In the broom closet that was Lincoln's room, he was rolling erratically and stressfully in his sleep, lost in the throes of a terrible dream. Sweat drenched his forehead, coursing down his cranium, just before his eyes popped wide open, looking like terror was encapsulated in his expression.

He shook with a cold tremor running through his spine and whimpered in horror, before briskly getting out of his covers and heading outside to the hallway.

He made his way to Lisa and Lily's room, entering and checking on both of them one by one, giving them quick peck-kisses on their cheeks. He next went to Lola and Lana's room, giving them quick kisses and making sure they were okay.

"...good lord...what a nightmare."

He then went to Lynn and Lucy's room, seeing them curled together.

"Huh...usually that only happens in a blue-moon. Lynn musta had a horrible dream," Lincoln thought, before giving them a quick look-over, then giving both quick peck kisses on their cheeks.

He left and headed for the stairs, going down and heading towards his parent's bedroom, finding the door unlocked. He went inside and checked on them, Rita first, Lynn Sr second. He made sure they were breathing, still alive.

"Christ did that dream do a number on me...damn...I hate rivers…and tornadoes…"

He gave them a quick kiss as well, before heading back upstairs, focused on Luna and Luan's room. It was locked.

"..dang it..Leni's maybe?" Lincoln asked quietly, going over to her room; the door was unlocked.

He walked in carefully, seeing Leni with her little aqua green sleeping mask on, with a tiny, content smile on her face.

"Well, better me to have a nightmare than you Leni; you deserve some nice dreams," Lincoln said openly, smiling at the peaceful large form that was Leni. He leaned over and gave her a kiss on her cheek as well, and began walking out, ready to close the door, when...

"...Li...Lincoln?" Leni mumbled, turning over and taking her mask off, seeing Lincoln frozen in the doorway.

"...shit," Lincoln said under his breath.

"Lincy...hi. It's not morning, is it? I feel sleepy still."

"No, it's not Leni. I'm sorry for waking you up. I...I had a bad dream, and wanted to check up on you."

"Oh...I'm sorry Lincy. I know what those are like...wanna talk about it?" Leni asked, rising up a little and padding a spot next to her on her bed, her eyes still a bit groggy but now animated with Lincoln's presence.

"Nah, I'm good Leni. I...just wanted to make sure you were all right."

"That's so sweet Lincy...but you should talk about it...get it off your...uhm...chest?"

Lincoln chuckled a bit.

"You got the saying right Leni...al...al right," Lincoln said, now walking over to her bed and sitting pretzel-style next to her, Leni now scooting closer to him.

"So...like, tell me what's up little brother."

"...it's about when me and Luna were...ya know...pulled in by the tornado."

"Oh..."

"My…my dream was kinda like that, but it got way…way worse. Me and her ended up in the river underwater. We were swimming...things fell down from above and pulled Luna down. I…in real life, I saved her just in time, but…in my dream…my dream…"Lincoln stuttered, Leni leaning over to rub her hand on his back supportively.

"…Luna…went away, pulled down far below…I couldn't get her in time…in front of my eyes, when I was trying to save her…and it got worse."

"Oh my god Lincy…how…how could it, like, get wor-"

"I saw vanzilla falling from the sky into the waters…with our whole family inside it. I was trying to pull Luna away from wreckage…and I saw vanzilla just sinking, sinking…everyone was struggling, trying to get out…I couldn't hear them…but their faces…then I saw you Leni…"

Lincoln paused, now feeling his face flustered in sadness, his eyes watering, and Leni now pulling Lincoln into a supportive hug.

"…I saw you…impaled on something…and I couldn't see your life Leni…I couldn't see Luna's…and when I try and help all of you…I couldn't see anyone else's…I was too late."

"Lincy…my little Lincy," Leni cooed, now feeling Lincoln shiver and shake, tearing up himself now as Leni rocked him back and forth.

"That bad dream Lincy…it'll never happen. We made it…and you saved Luna. She's still here. And everyone else is still here…please…please don't cry Lincy. Your eyes get red and like, so veiny…it makes me wanna cry."

"I'm sorry Leni. This dream…it got to me…it was like, I was powerless and unable to save anyone…seeing my whole family die right in front of me…suffering…crying…and…I…I," Lincoln frailly said, before he started crying softly and openly into Leni's shoulders.

Leni just rubbed his back, trying to sooth Lincoln's mortified, dream-induced torment. Leni could be astronomically naïve, but even she knew that her protective, supportive little brother needed help from time to time too, whether he was a teenager or not, and the things he's seen, he fully deserved every second of Leni's attention.

"Sshhhh…it's okay Lincy…big sis has got you…my little white haired angel."

"Man," Lincoln hiccupped, "…I feel like such a weak little wimp right now…crying in my sister's arm…I should be helping you…not the other way around."

"It doesn't matter how old you'll get Lincoln; I'll still hold you close and rock you back and forth…hey…Luna use to, like, sing you a song when you were little…I think I know it; it's very pretty."

Lincoln wiggled his head up and down, holding onto Leni as Leni groggily coughed, before she began to whisper-sing to Lincoln.

"Me and Luna took turns rocking you back and forth, and she use to sing a Disney lullaby to you…eh ehm….Oooooooouuuaaahhhhh….Baby mine, don't you cry…..Baby mine, dry your eyes…..Rest your head close to my heart, never to part, baby of mine."

"…your voice is pretty Leni," Lincoln said quietly, enjoying Leni's soft, soothing voice.

"Little one when you play….Don't you mind what they say…Let those eyes sparkle and shine, never a tear, baby of mine."

Then Leni just hummed the middle melody while she gently stroked Lincoln's back, caressing his white hair, Lincoln smiling now into her chest.

"You always believe in me Lincy…time for me to believe in you; you'll get better. I know you will…and I'll help in any way I can," Leni thought, before continuing on.

"From your head to your toes, baby mine," Leni sung in a coo, delicately and jokingly wiggling one of Lincoln's toes, causing Lincoln to grin and chuckle for a moment from Leni's little bit of nurturing playfulness.

"You're so sweet…goodness knows, baby mine…..You are so precious to me, cute as can be, baby of mine, baby mine….Lincy mine….."

Lincoln hiccupped, yet had a recovering smile on him, his eyes still glossy, but betrayed his big hug he was giving Leni.

"Thank you Leni. That made me feel a little better. You're so…after everything you've gone through, you still…listen to me…in the middle of the night of all times too."

"…that's cause I'm, like, your big sister. I have to take care of my only brother…one of the nicest guys I know…how about you stay with me tonight Lincy?"

"Nah, I don't wanna trouble you Leni."

"It's no trouble; it'd be totes nice, just like when you were really little and slept between me and Lori those few times…till you wet the bed."

"Hey…that was a long time ago," Lincoln said with a pouty smile.

"Please…stay tonight with me Lincoln…I wanna be by your side if you have any bad dreams again…and let you know it's all right. You did that for me last night…I mean…you know, when I had that bad dream…it's the least I can do, like, return the flavor."

"…favor…alright Leni…I'll stay the night with you," Lincoln said, eyes now hanging low, yawning profusely as he snuggled under Leni's covers.

"I'll…tell her in the morning…Luna," Lincoln internally said, still wanting to let Luna know about his nightmarish dream and get her thoughts.

As he wiggled in the covers just right, he felt a substantial form behind him wiggle around and press hard; it was Leni, curling herself into Lincoln's body and legs, her arms slipping under his shoulders.

"...just like when you were a baby Lincoln…doesn't matter how old you get…I'll still do this for you."

"Thank you Leni…for listening…for singing…I feel much, much better."

"Good night Lincoln."

"Good night Leni," Lincoln said while yawning powerfully, his eyes locked shut, his mind floating back to deep sleep.

Leni was about to put her sleeping mask back on, but decided against it, wanting to fall back to sleep seeing Lincoln's hair in her vision.

And within minutes, Lincoln was sleeping contently, his body pulsating upwards and downwards, Leni now so content and happy to have Lincoln curled up with her like this.

"…Lincy mine…..Lincy…mine," Leni silently sang to herself, as she was entering that zone just before sleep. Suddenly she felt a poke from her back.

A slightly surprised Leni turned around and saw Luna, smiling weakly at Leni.

"Oh, hi Luna, what's up?"

"Hey dude…what's up with Lincoln?"

"…he had a really, really bad dream Luna. I'm having him sleep with me tonight."

Luna thought on this momentarily; she was a little taken back that Lincoln didn't go to her, but then recalled that she locked the door.

"Dang it," she thought.

"…so…I mean, I know Lincoln's a teenager…but he's still our little brother, and-"

"You don't gotta tell me Leni; I understand, and even brothers need a shoulder from time to time too. So…is he doing better? Cause…I heard you singing that lullaby to him."

Leni's face got a tiny bit blushed, but she managed to dial it back down.

"It was pretty Leni; ya know you've got such a cute tiny singing voice."

"Thank you Luna…I just wanted to make him feel happy and safe…Luna, he had a horrible nightmare about…..Luna?"

"Yeah Leni?"

"Luna…did Lincoln save you…from drowning?"

Luna's eyes rocketed wide open, shocked that Leni would even know about that.

"H…how did…you-"

"Lincy said he had a bad dream of not being able to save you in time…before he saw vanzilla with all of our family sinking in a river far down…seeing them…unable to save them…then saw me…impala…llama….I dunno, but it sounded like I was doing, like, well in his dream."

"…impaled Leni?"

"Yes, that's the word…what's it mean?"

"It means to go through something…like when you make Salmon…you stick a long sharp knife in it…like that."

"Ohh….so…I guess Lincy dreamed that happened to me…it really scared him Luna."

"I'll bet; that's a really fuc…I mean…bad nightmare. But, I think he's in good company," Luna said with a gentle smile, walking around Leni's bed, stroking his hair for a moment, giving him a kiss on his forehead.

"Good night bro, I love you," Luna said, before going around the other side, now leaning over the bed and giving Leni a warm hug.

"Thanks Leni. You're an awesome sister, ya know that?"

"I…I try…I wanna be like you…you and Lincoln…you're closest to him."

"…in a lot of ways, yeah, but you're also close to him to Leni…in fact, you're the closest in your own way too. Luv a love-bug."

"Love you too Luna. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

And like that, Luna closed Leni's door.

Leni felt Lincoln's sleeping form, breathing soothingly as she re-wrapped her arms around him, gently and softly.

"I'll always be here for you Lincy…I love you…in more ways than you know."

"I…I wish I could be like you…you're the better of us Leni."

"Who…who said…oh….hi other me…other Leni."

"Hi Leni…that was nice what you did for him."

"I always wanna try and be nice to him…everyone of course, but Lincy especially."

"And we both know why, don't we."

"Y…yeah…other me…you're right…and I couldn't remember the lyrics to that lullaby…thank you for reminding me…you did remind me, didn't you, in my head?"

"Yeah…very subtly…you're welcome…it's such a nice song…but you sing it better than I could."

"But…don't we sound the same?"

"…cadence is everything Leni."

"Cade…what?"

"…nothing. And…is everything okay with Luan?"

"Luan? Yeah, everything seems fine with her…why do you ask?"

"….no reason."

"Speaking of which other Leni…why didn't you get Luan and me out of that bad party like you said you promised?"

"..L…Luan insisted we'd be safe…and I realized it would be really difficult to get her out of there if you restricted my abilities to hurt people trying to have their ways with me…you, and Luan."

"Oh….so…you were looking out for me?"

"I…I looked out for your desires…and Luan's…so…yeah…in some ways I helped…I feel…conflicted over them though, but I don't regret them…and I even found out I'm rather submissive…uh-"

"Su…submissive other Leni?"

"…never mind about that…you don't need to know about all those details…just…keep an eye on Luan for me, will you Leni? I…wanna make sure she's okay."

"Uhm…okay other Leni….and…other Leni?"

"Yeah Leni?"

"Do you have a name? Other Leni is getting…a lot to say."

"…there is one word that kinda describes me; do you know what proto means?"

"…I don't."

"…well…you can call me Proto-Leni…but I don't mind Other Leni; either one works."

"…I dunno….that's a lot to remember."

"Hehee…you're cute, ya know that?"

"I've been told that a lot. You know….I can hear you…but I can't see you."

"Give it a minute…you'll be completely asleep in five…four…three…two…one."

Leni now felt like she fazed into her own fuzzy world, looking over a lush, tropical beach with large rolling grassy fields on the horizon; it seemed sunny and blue in one corner of the sky, the other drenched in sunset colors. Leni looked around, trying to see other Leni around anywhere.

"Where...where oh where are...there you are!" Leni said happily, seeing other Leni's frame hidden behind a stand of dense palm trees, her shadow casting a huge area all over Leni. Leni excitedly ran over to other Leni, who was just standing in the dense tropical brush, shaded by the canopy and density all around them.

"Other Leni! Yay! I didn't get to thank you for what you did for me, back at the party...even though I would have liked it if you took me and Luan out completely...but, I trust you."

"That's good Leni."

"Hey...why are you wearing boots out here? Aren't your feet hot?"

"We're in your dreams, remember? Temperature doesn't affect me."

"So….I'm asleep?"

"Like, yeah."

"...then how can I be talking to you if I'm dreaming?"

"Because you have an extreme amount of internal-awareness; I helped let you have control of your dreams ever since the really, really bad ones. I tried to stop it...but I couldn't...I'm sorry."

"Awe...thank you for trying other Leni...it...it was pretty bad, but...thanks to my family, I'm getting better."

"I know...they're wonderful people; they're why I exist still, you know."

"Wh..what?"

"...especially Lincoln...I've always been a rather shut-off side of you Leni. You didn't need me...I needed you more in a way, always watching you, keeping tabs on what's going on in your world...I enjoy it immensely, and have been ever since I could remember."

"Really other Leni? How...how old are you?"

"We're both the same age, since we are the same person, but with different manifestations."

"...mani-what?"

"...never mind... but...I think I formed first...but then you sort of popped into being, hence that word proto...and...I guess I just got locked into your mind for a long, long time. Lori made it to where I wasn't really needed...at all. She kept you safe...you had a whole family that kept you safe...it was wonderful, watching it unfold so spectacularly...and then, we...you...I...I keep messing with that idea...we're the same Leni...I'm just an inner machination...a sort of enigma in the grand scheme of the way your brain works...though not really like I am today...not until the tornado...till Lincoln and Luna...ya know."

"Yeah...yeah, I know...other Leni? Was that me running after them into the tornado...or was that you taking over? Cause I remember...freaking out so badly...my heart...it hurt so, so much."

"...that was you entirely Leni; I couldn't even bring myself to try and help. So...in a lot of ways, you don't need this side of you...me...I just come out now when it seems appropriate."

"And I trust you other Leni; nothing crazy's happened yet when you were...running me."

"Yeah...yeah...nothing crazy..."

"Though I remember having this really thick, heavy taste of coconut from the party in my mouth, and all over my body."

Other Leni's eyes went wide.

"...but, I figured somebody must have spilled some fruit punch on me...silly, huh?"

"...silly indeed Leni," Other Leni said with a small smile.

"Whoa...let me get a better look at you; you're still so far in the shades other Leni."

Leni grabbed other Leni's hand and pulled her out, other Leni somewhat reluctant to leave the dense tropical forest understory, until she saw Leni's giggly smile, and started laughing in her cute, hoarse manner.

"Wh..what's so funny Leni?"

"Other Leni...you're actually quite cute and funny when you're timid of a little sun...come on me!"

Other Leni tepidly blushed, but submitted to Leni's pull. With great force and physical presence, other Leni walked out, now fully illuminated in complete view; she had light tan fuzzy boots on, a cyan celeste-colored dress, identical sunglasses to Leni, a matching physical physique and appearance to Leni, albeit with longer hair and more in a hybrid of both Lori's and Leni's. Her expression was mostly plain but with a hint of Machiavellian thinking, and a background, killer vibe to her.

"OOOOOHHHHHHH YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!" Leni screeched happily, jumping up and down, before wrapping other Leni in a polar bear-like crushing hug, though since they seemed on par with each other in durability, other Leni didn't mind.

"...you...really think I'm pretty Leni?"

"Of course other Leni! You're like, me after all, just a different look. But, I gotta say, great fashion sense!"

"Well...thank you...it's kinda a hybrid of yours and Lori's look...you really like it?"

"Heck yeah! In fact, it complements my cyan magic mint dress! It's so totes we have so similar fashion senses."

"Well...we are each other."

"I'm like...still totally confused about this whole thing...whether you're me, I'm you...we're one...I don't care...I just have a really nice friend to play with and hang out in my dreams!"

"Well...I won't always be around in your dreams Leni; I might be occupied with something else...but I'll try and make sure you have good dreams...and be able to talk to you whenever you like."

"So...what, do I gotta, like, book an appointment to talk to myself?"

Other Leni suddenly started laughing; it's style was much more crisp and lower than Leni's, but the laugh had the same general tenor and cadence as Leni's.

"What?"

"Oh...nothing; just realizing that I should find a way to give you some of my intellect."

Other Leni paused her laughing for a moment...and began to feel strange...strange feelings, looking at herself, at Leni, smiling nicely at her.

Things were bubbling up hard in other Leni, things that came about...when she seduced Luan.

"Uhh...Leni...I need to go...right now," other Leni said urgently.

"But...but wait other Leni...why?"

"Please...please...you don't wanna find out...things are...not that good with me right now."

"Really? Then let me help you other Leni, just like you helped me," Leni said sweetly, other Leni nearly falling over, stumbling from remembering she said something similar to Luan, before...

"Other Leni! I...I may not be as bright, or smart...or tough as you are in the head...but I wanna help."

"Leni...you don't wanna find out what I need help...my horrific kick with...it's...better for you to-"

"Please other Leni? You don't have to push me away. You...what do you want?"

"Leni...no...please don't-" other Leni started pleading, before Leni pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Other Leni...tell me...what do you need from me?"

Other Leni shook...for fear of what she was about to say.

"...you're so naïve...so sweet...so honest Leni...what I'm about to tell you might...shock you."

"I...think I can handle it," Leni said, more in a questioning tone than an explanatory tone.

"Leni...I...I feel an extreme need...to do things…to you… to myself."

"Oh, well...what kind of things? Like, give yourself a makeover, or treat yourself to a spa day, or…ooohh, maybe even shop with me at the mall! That's be-"

"It's...none of those things Leni...it's more...personal."

"Like...how personal?"

"...you know how you have that condition...how we have that condition...when we have wet dreams about Lincoln...we do it...orgasm...twice, and do that milky release...twice?"

"Uhmm...I kinda wanted to forget about that...but yeah...I know that weird thing about me. Why do you ask other Leni?"

Other Leni leaned in closer, her face draped in something this Leni never usually had; fear.

"Leni...I...I want to do those things...to…and with you."

"W...what?"

"I...I want us to feel good...I want you to feel good...and I want to feel good. When...when I felt it out in the real world, it was just...one of the greatest feelings I've ever had...and I wanna experience it again. But...I don't want to force you...I...I'm so...like..."

"Other Leni...are...you saying you wanna do sex things with me?" Leni asked in a very vulnerable, gentle tone.

"...yes," other Leni said, head hanging low. Leni just looked at her in shock.

"You...you think I'm that...pretty other Leni? I mean...I'm a girl...and you're a girl...how does that even work? I thought guys are suppose to-"

"Girls can feel this way about girls too Leni. In a really, really messed up way, what I want from you is akin to something called masturbation, since it's both of us...you...know what masturbation is, right?"

"Kinda...I had to take a Sex-Ed class, though...I don't really understand if I know what you mean."

"Leni...I...I don't know if I can properly explain it to you...but I can show you...how two girls can do things with each other."

"Uhmm...I...I dunno now. I mean, I like you...but wouldn't that mean I'm happy or something?"

"...gay...well, it's you doing...well...you. It doesn't count if you're doing it to yourself...and in many ways, I think me wanting to do this with you is you internally realizing and wanting to try it."

"Really?"

"I think so. I am a more concentrated form of the things you'd never normally do...the violence...willing to do what's necessary...you're an angel because I take what's not nice or bubbly about you...and it becomes me."

"So...am I, like, talking to myself right now? Cause all this is really, like...really confusing me other Leni."

"...yeah...you're talking to yourself...in a dream world."

"Does that mean I'm crazy?"

"No...you're coping...we're coping...I'm probably your coping mechanism...and I might be the one here to introduce you to these things."

"Huh….well…does that mean we'd be cheating on Lincy?"

"What? No…I…I don't think so. It's more like…you and me, me and you…and I admit, it's mostly me, but in a strange, real sort of way, it's you…us doing things to each other in our dream world doesn't really count. I…I don't think I should have asked this of you Leni. I confused you more than I should have."

"Then…how about you show me other Leni?" Leni asked, now phasing into existence a small, cute little wooden cottage on the beach. Leni pulled other Leni inside, closing the door softly, and spontaneously animating several soft pieces of furniture and chairs, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a bed inside the small space. Other Leni looked at Leni with surprise.

"I get this feeling that something is really wrong other Leni, which…if I think right about this…and I'm probably wrong…that this means something is wrong with me; you're trying to help me make this not a wrong feeling, or…I dunno if I have it right…I just wanna, like, help you, so that means I guess I'm helping me…is that right?"

"Yeah…I think you got it right. But Leni…this is something you've never experienced before…you, this you Leni… anyways…are you sure?"

"You've been nothing but helpful to me other Leni; it's the least I can do for you…me…you know what I…we…oohhh….dang it! I'm confused again."

Other Leni leaned into Leni's frame, Leni now slightly flustered as other Leni gave her a very sensuous, confused but lusty look in Leni's eyes.

"I'll…try and show you what I mean…Leni," other Leni softly said, before she pulled Leni into a deep kiss, Leni's eyes going wide, then slowly lowering her eye lids, nervous beyond belief but trusting other Leni to show her what she meant.

Other Leni then picked up Leni and straddled her frame on her own. Leni went limp, partly frightened yet still trusting in other Leni to lead what she was doing. Other Leni walked with Leni in her make-out frame, before plopping her on the back corner bed.

Leni looked up in slight alarm to see other Leni rip off her cyan celeste-colored dress in two, exposing a body and frame nearly identical to Leni's, except she was a bit more tanned in color. She dropped to her knees and leaned over Leni, lust and intoxication saturating her stare at Leni. She began to rub her hands along Leni's sandaled feet, forcing her fingers between her toes, before popping Leni's sandals off one by one to the ground below, before dangling her tongue out and sucking on her ankles, then slowing moving her tongue up Leni's thigh, eliciting extremely weak and nervous yelps from Leni.

"Are you okay?"

"Ye…yeah…like…this is…sex?"

"Oh no Leni…not even close; this is just the beginning."

"Whoa…I…I feel so confused, like…parts of me are saying, like, no…but….but-"

"But," other Leni interjected with a hot and heavy tone, leaning into Leni's face, "…but…they're also saying yes…you're feeling excited by this new, unusual, rather scary feeling; it makes you all flustered, not sure what to do…you don't know what to do, but…you want to find out too. You do, and you don't…but, you wanting to find out is overriding the side of you saying you don't want to find out…that about right?"

Leni just stuttered, her face going extremely blushed and alarmed.

"Leni…do…do you want me to continue…or no?"

"I….I…you just, like…described what I'm feeling…" Leni paused, before putting her hands around other Leni's head and bringing it down to her face, now planting a deep, confused, totally unsure but adventurous kiss on other Leni.

"…I…I think I'm ready…other Leni…show me what…this is I'm feeling."

"…let me put something on to get the mood more…atmospheric," other Leni said, waving her hand, and all of a sudden music began playing; it was surreal, strange and grand, with an erotic sensuality to it.

"What is that?"

"We've heard it before; it didn't really strike you…but I've…we've always wanted to do someone to this music…from Ivan Torrent; it's called Bounds of the Universe…and it gets me so…so in the mood. How…about you Leni?"

"I'm…feeling more confused and unsure…and I think I like it."

Other Leni's expression morphed into savage, primal lust as she pressed herself a little firmer and harder against Leni's frame, now making out with a blushed, heavy breathing and slightly teary-eyed Leni. Other Leni began forcing her tongue into Leni's mouth, Leni passively taking it, just able to let her tongue submissively caress and take the strokes of other Leni's tongue.

Other Leni then got up, pulling Leni straight up in a standing position, then slowly slipped off Leni's cyan magic mint dress from off her shoulders, leaving Leni in her turquoise panties and C-bra. Other Leni slowly undid Leni's bra as Leni shook nervously yet excitedly, giving a tiny smile that signaled other Leni to continue onwards. Other Leni leaned over, looking up with a crazed sexual intensity at Leni, then began to rub her hands all over Leni's leg and thighs, before finally pulling Leni's dangling bra off, exposing her C-sized breasts. Other Leni began nibbling at the nipples tips of Leni's breasts, Leni cooing in shocked, nervous excitement while other Leni began to gyrate her index and thumb around Leni's groin area.

Leni suddenly felt strange things…strange ideas and wants pop up in her head. She picked other Leni's head up and began to gently French kiss other Leni softly, before other Leni took command again and led the exchange.

Other Leni suddenly scooted out of her panties and tan boots, now totally naked and exposed just like Leni, and leaned into Leni, rubbing her breasts onto hers. Leni nervously did the same as well, still letting other Leni lead the way, but began having an idea; she remembered her wet dream with Lincoln many days ago, along the beach, when Lincoln began eating her out on the shores of the beach at night. It was so utterly enjoyable...she wanted to give a little joy.

Leni pulled other Leni down and maneuvered herself between other Leni's legs, and just stared between them. Other Leni just looked at Leni with a wily, lusty grin that got a bit cocky.

"Well…what are you waiting for? Don't leave me hanging Leni."

"I'm…not sure if I'm brave enough…or strong enough to-"

"I know what you need…some of that nervousness to be negated," other Leni said, leaning over and waiving her hand around Leni's forehead, and suddenly pulling a bright cyan green mint electrical-like field out of Leni's head. Leni's eyes suddenly went grey, relaxed, yet knowing and lusty.

"There…a little better?"

"B…better…I…I don't feel so conflicted anymore other Leni…now I know honestly that…I wanna-" Leni said, before now orally pleasuring other Leni softly and gently, other Leni giving several whimpers before smiling voluptuously, squeezing onto that light cyan force field, meshing it in her hands and pawing with it. Leni's gentle oral tonguing was pleasing other Leni so much, but wanted her to go even more full blast.

"H…harder Leni…you can….OHHHHHAHAAHAHAH!" Other Leni screeched as Leni complied, and began to plunder and pillage with all her oral might other Leni's business. Other Leni began squirming harder and harder, wiggling her legs erratically before Leni locked them down with her arms, still diving in head first with those possessed, relaxed and uninhibited eyes; they looked drugged, totally colorless.

Other Leni decided to put some of the force field that represented some of Leni's personal trepidations back into her, but keeping a small sliver to use; she shaped it in a long, prodding device about the size of a banana and began to delicately suck on it. She looked down and saw Leni staring back at her with nervous, unsure eyes, but totally lost now in pleasuring other Leni's privates.

"Alright…that was spontaneous on your part Leni…my turn."

Other Leni suddenly pulled Leni up and flipped her on her back, now head-bombing into Leni's crouch and going to town into the world Leni was not prepared for; genital stimulation of such a degree she was not aware existed.

Leni screamed in shock and pleasure several times, tearing up as other Leni looked up with a giant, nefarious and giddy grin, before continuing on to orally pleasure Leni.

She did this to Leni for many minutes it seemed like, Leni blushing along her whole fair-skinned and untanned body, other Leni's face blushed but focused in eating Leni out.

Other Leni suddenly pulled Leni's groin into her own, then pushed Leni's legs back behind her ears, now curling Leni's whole body, her feet now wedged next to other Leni's face. Other Leni grabbed a pillow next to them and placed it under Leni's rump, and then gently placed her own genitalia against Leni's, then began to rub profusely back and forth.

Other Leni began to drool heavily all over Leni's chest, Leni now drooling herself, her eyes now stars in not being able to process the degree and depth of pleasure she was experiencing right now. Other Leni kept rubbing and tribbing, before she switched gears, now beginning to hump Leni hard, her feet bouncing in other Leni's face. She gave several quick licks to Leni's curled feet, before inching down her face and making out heavily with a near-comatose, blushed and moaning Leni. She kept up the pace, each thrust into Leni eliciting a more giddy, stressed moan from Leni, this turning other Leni on more and more, until other Leni felt a huge orgasmic rush jolt her body. She roughly handled Leni and pressed her groin into hers, before ejaculating a large stream all over Leni's business. Moments later, Leni screamed loudly as she shot her own jet into the groin of other Leni, both now trying to regain control and breathing in on another's arms, Leni still being topped and submissive to the other Leni.

Then…other Leni got an idea.

"Leni…Leni…was that…nice?"

"I….I….I I I…wow….so….totes…I don't…"

"Leni…our condition…that's only one of two…and I wanna turn."

"W..what?"

"I don't only want to be the dominant…I want to be receiving too."

"I…I don't get it…what do you mean other Leni?"

Other Leni just leaned down and made out with Leni for a few more moments, before she got up on her knees and began to kneel down, her female parts dripping wet creamy white liquids, as were Leni's. She lowered down, now on all fours, sticking her ass in the air in a seemingly odd case of déjà vu. Leni just observed at first, this odd, rather…peculiar and strange site; it looked like other Leni, the one who was suppose to be the dominant, raging apocalyptic monster of the two, though one of the same…was wanting Leni to do something to her now…something that Leni just managed to pick up now…something about dominance.

"Uhhh….other Leni? Why is your butt in the air like that? And…why are you arching your back like that?"

"…really? You don't know?"

"Well…I…I'm kinda guessing…and I'm probably wrong about this…but you want me to be what you were just now…something about dominant?"

"Right Leni."

"What does that mean?"

"I…I want you to fuck me Leni."

Leni's eyes went wide in surprise from the use of such language like that. Other Leni gave a sex-crazed, pleading look to her, full of savage passion and rage.

"…does…that mean…you want me to do to you…what I see…on those animal programs?"

"Yes Leni…please….please…dominant me…hump me…fuck me Leni…fuck me hard…just like I fucked you."

Leni's slow mental reasoning suddenly did a whiplash of dot-connecting. Even though she winced at other Leni's cursing, she understood what other Leni was wanting now…and was beginning to want it herself. She couldn't understand why, but in her mind, her admittedly muddled up, confused mind, this is what she wanted for herself…for other Leni, for both of them; she was going to make sure that happened.

Leni slowly began straddling herself along other Leni's ass and hips, at first nervous on how to align up, but other Leni backed her body a bit to help Leni. All it took now was for Leni to figure out what she was going to do, and by extreme surprise…she figured out quick.

She grabbed other Leni's torso and moved her groin into hers, but instead of beginning to start the locomotion, Leni pulled other Leni's legs out from their position, now pushing other Leni hard into the mattress in one solid motion. She was laid out on her stomach, on the mattress with her legs partly spread-eagled outwards.

Other Leni didn't seem to mind this rough play; it seemed like a giant turn on for her as she looked up at Leni with a possessed zombie-like daze of lust and sex, drooling ever more so. Leni gently pulled up other Leni's face to her own and made out with her, while positioning herself now directly on top of other Leni. Other Leni just wiggled her legs and anchored her feet to the bed in a sensually familiar like repeat of what she was craving so much for; domination.

And suddenly and with extreme seismic violence, Leni began tribbing in rapid fire against other Leni's ass, pounding in ungodly force.

Other Leni roared and screamed in pleasure as Leni grunted by the shock of the sheer power she was drilling into other Leni. It mortified her how she was dominating the one entity she found fearful and yet a familiar friend in, but with other Leni's apocalyptic capacity there dwelled a sexual force Leni never knew she could tap into…quite literally.

Other Leni dug her head into the mattress to scream so that Leni wouldn't hear, "OH…AAHAHAHAH….OH GOD…FUCK...SHE'S SMAHSING EVEN HARDER…THAN…LUAN DID!"

"OTHER LENI? AM I HURTING YOU!?" Leni asked out loudly, stopping momentarily.

"RRRRRHHHHAHAAAAARRRRRR! DON'T STOP! HARDER! HARDER!" Other Leni roared back viciously, Leni fearfully continuing back on track pounding as hard as she could, inducing animal-like roars from other Leni's squeals and squirming motions. Leni suddenly felt herself feeling another tingly orgasm starting to sweep her body.

"OTHER…OTHER LENI! I…MY BODY'S GONNA SNEEZE!"

"MI…MINE TOO! AAHAHHH…OH MY GOD…AAAHAHOOHHHAHAAHAAHA….TOGETHER LENI!"

Leni drilled even harder before, other Leni no longer just drooling but now spitting in her roars large globs of saliva all over the place. Leni suddenly leaned down and began biting other Leni's neck roughly, other Leni roaring at first before she seemed to give off a sensuous purr sound.

Then, within moments, both Leni and other Leni climaxed hard, each squirting a huge jet of cream, other Leni on the matters below her and some on Leni, then Leni, all over other Leni's already saturated and creamed genitalia, and then all over other Leni's rump and some dripping between her groin and stomach, making a milky, sticky trail along the gradient of other Leni's arched, rippling back.

Both their nerves seemed fried and warped beyond belief. Both had their feet curled hard in on themselves, their hands ripping huge holes in the mattress now, Leni now letting go of her primal biting of other Leni's neck, breathing heavily into other Leni's neck; she was supporting the full weight of Leni now given that Leni had collapsed onto her moments after her orgasm. Other Leni turned her head and looked at Leni with savage, sexual yet loving eyes.

"HUUUUUHHHH….OH…oh…like…déjà vu."

"Day job-what?"

"…don't worry…so…what did you think…of masturbating Leni?"

"Huuuhhh…like…I can't say it doesn't make me feel really…really tingly, almost like when Lincoln makes me feel tingly. But…are you sure it's that "m" word? Cause…I feel like I cheated on Lincy…no offense other Leni."

"Not…huuuuuhhh…not at all. I…huuhh…know this was something you as you would never think about ever doing…but you…as me…we've given it an inordinate amount of thought…and I shouldn't really be surprised by how much more powerful your thrusting would be next to hers."

"H…hers?" Leni softly asked in slight curiosity.

"N…never mind…but just try and remember that this was all in our dream world…it's not like you did this out in the real world, right Leni?"

"Y….yeah…I guess…but I guess I just feel…so confused right now."

"Well…I'm not confused…I don't regret what we just did together Leni…I mean…it's basically me, your other Leni…doing Leni…you basically did it with yourself, right?"

"Well…yeah…I guess you're-"

"And we did it in our dreams…add to this important fact Leni…we didn't do it with anyone else, so that means we didn't cheat on Lincoln. Do you understand?"

"I…I guess so other Leni…but I still feel a little…fuzzy in my tummy…I'm…I'm sorry."

Other Leni looked over with a plain expression on her face, before waiving the music off, then spontaneously cleaned up the mess they made, and instantly got them re-dressed again like nothing happened.

Leni seemed passé to the motion and change.

"Leni…you're a sweet girl…and I probably shouldn't have done this…but I think you need to be able to masturbate out in the real world…do you…understand what I mean? This is in a lot of ways, a realization that you should do this in the real world; the dream world can only take you so far, and even those wet dreams won't totally satisfy you."

"I…I get that. This was just…such a life-changing deal that, like…I…I feel so confused and weird. I love Lincy…but am I into girls too now?"

"Well…like I said…you did yourself, and even though we're both girls, we're still one of the same thing, so you can't say that you're necessarily into girls. You're into Lincoln…both of us…which means Leni is…so I don't think there's need to fret."

"What…what about you other Leni? You're me…and what you are, I basically am like…secretly am. What am I other Leni?"

"You're…a sweet girl…the sweetest, nicest, most carrying girl I know, who was willing to sleep with a demon like me to try and understand and pleasure your and my sexuality. You have no idea how gigantic your heart really is."

"So you're giving yourself a complement in a way?"

"Y..yeah. Gotta love thyself as they say."

"And other Leni?"

"Yeah?"

"…how come you licked my feet like that? That was kinda, like…weird."

"…I…I dunno…I guess it's something that felt right at the time. Sorry if that felt out-of-line."

"I mean…it's not the worse feeling. And overall other Leni, you help me…make it gigantic…my heart, by taking all the bad stuff that could pop it."

"Yeah…yeah Leni…I guess I do that, in a weird way. I've been bad at it for a long time, but you still manage to have such a sweet heart Leni…I envy you for that."

"…but you're strong other Leni; strong in other ways; you do the things I can't or don't have the tummy to do."

"Like I said; one day you will be able to, and I'll either wither away or incorporate myself within your mind and keep watch of things..or something else."

"Oh…" Leni said in slightly disappointment.

Other Leni walked over and hugged Leni hard.

"Hey…I got an idea…how about you go see Lincoln?"

"That…that would be nice…even if he's a dream Lincoln."

"So? I'm a dream too in a lot of ways…all this is in your head…but that doesn't make it any less real."

Leni just stared openly.

"I…I don't know if I want to see Lincoln right now…after this…my mind's still a little shaky."

"Okay…so...Leni? What would you like to do then? We'll do whatever you want, since I just basically had my way."

"Well...like..." Leni though momentarily, before she smiled brightly. Suddenly the landscape all around them morphed into a gigantic, endless mall spanning all sides, heights and angles.

"Wanna go shopping and trying clothes on with me other Leni?" Leni asked happily and giggly. Other Leni just looked a bit confused, cautious, but let her hand go out. Leni pulled on it happily and gave her other, more nefarious, lust-laden counterpart a big warm smile.

"You're gonna like, so love this place other...I mean…Proto-Leni! Other Leni! Teehee! Either name you're awesome! It's got the totes best clothing and fashion trends! The best shakes! And the cars fly you around all over the place, see?" Leni said, waving her hand in the hair for a moment, before a light-pink convertible hovered down from out of nowhere.

"Wait a moment Leni."

"What is it other Leni?"

"...you should wake up for a moment. I'll be here, waiting," other Leni said, before Leni felt herself suddenly wake up, eyes flickering on, her body feeling hot, sweaty and saturated in fluids. She pressed her legs and wiggled her groin...feeling the results of her dream in all its sticky, milky glory and husky smell.

Leni's eyes went wide when she realized she was still curled up against Lincoln, who was still sleeping like a rock in her arms.

"...like...O...M...G," Leni mouthed silently, scooting back from Lincoln to try and see if she got any of herself on him. She rubbed her hands under the covers by Lincoln's lower back; he was drenched, as she was too.

"...crudstones!"

"Put a bit of milk in a glass Leni," a voice called out to her head.

"Other Leni? Are...you sure other Leni? I don't think...more milk...is gonna help."

"Trust me. Just pretend you grabbed some milk to drink, then, if Lincoln asks why he's soaked, just tell him you accidently spilled it between you and him."

"You...think he'll believe me?"

"Of course he will Leni; you never lie."

"Oh...but aren't I lying now? I'm not being truthful with Lincy."

"Well...do you want to tell him what you did all over his back in your sleep? Because I don't think he'll be happy to find out what's saturating his back right now."

"Oh...I see...you're right other Leni...that might make him so...so..."

"Exactly Leni."

Leni headed down and within minutes, was back with a tiny glass of milk. She swirled it around, took a tiny sip, then placed it on her nightstand. She grabbed some towels from her closet and flipped her covers over to see the size of the female-fluid stain she left; it was quite large, but luckily centered more on Leni's side since she weighed more than Lincoln and the depression was already well-formed on her side.

She placed towels on the soaked sheets, doubling up the towels on each other to make sure they'd soak the fluids, but not let Leni get any more soaked, or Lincoln.

She had to temporarily pick Lincoln's lower body up. He grumbled and groaned, Leni's heart rate going erratic from him possibly waking up.

He didn't; luckily he was still as responsive as a rock.

"Oh...oh my god...like...thank goodness he didn't wake up."

As Leni placed towels under Lincoln, still holding him one-handed, his leg dangled backwards. Lincoln's groin was now fully exposed to Leni; he was wearing a tight pair of cream-tan khaki shorts...and Leni saw something, rather noticeable making a protruding shape in his right leg shorts area.

"Oh my...Lincy? Do you have an injury?"

"Leni...Leni no! Forget about what you just saw! Forg-"

"Other Leni! I'm not going to leave my little brother with a possible boo-boo! I need to make sure he isn't hiding something painful, like a sore or bad injury from the tornado!"

"Trust me L...LENI! NO!"

Leni leaned down and grabbed some of the right leg khaki short garment.

"Okay Lincy...what kind of injury are you hiding from your big sist...er...uh...ugh...uh...huh...huh...huhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"TURN AROUND LENI! DON'T LOOK AT-"

"Oh...oh my...that's...that's...like...I didn't know they could get that big...that's like, really bi-"

"NOW LENI!"

Leni turned around, her entire face red as a cherry, the image of what she just saw seemingly and irreparably burned in her mind, and more so other Leni's too.

It was Lincoln's packaging, on full form from what seemed like obvious mental stimulation in his dreams.

"Leni...you didn't see anything."

"How...could I not?"

"...finish up, then fall back to sleep...away from Lincoln."

"Uh...oohhh...okay," Leni mumbled, now putting more towels down, before she flipped the covers back on and crawled into her bed nervously, keeping close to her edge.

"Oh my god...that...was...Lincoln's-"

"We both know...good lord...no wonder he stopped doing the underwear deal around here; no wonder he locks his door at night...and no wonder he's bought all new baggier jeans."

"So...Lincoln...has a big...big..."

"Yes Leni...but it doesn't matter what kinda tool it is...just how you use it...so stay away...good lord, I need to tell myself to stay away...ugh."

"Uuu...yeah...I guess."

"I'll get you asleep; just close your eyes."

Leni closed them, and within only a few dozen seconds of nervous shaking with Lincoln no less than a foot away from her, other Leni got her back into their current activity.

"Here...let me just get that so you don't need to fret so much," other Leni said quickly, waiving her hand over Leni's head, then pulling out a cyan-colored electrical field; it was Leni's immediate memory of re-adjusting Lincoln around on the bed...and getting full blast of his...package.

"There; no memories of this right now."

"Uhhh...I feel...funny."

"At least that's all you feel; now, quick rundown. Just flat out deny and deny anything should he wake up."

"Uh...okay other Leni."

"But you got the milk deal still memorized, right?"

"Uh...right other Leni."

"Good."

Leni then perked up seeing the gigantic endless mall landscape all around her. She opened the door for other Leni to enter the passenger seat. Other Leni tepidly got in, while Leni hopped in the driver's seat.

"Can...you really drive this Leni?"

"Drive? Hahhahahh...oh...you're like, serious. It drives for us. You just gotta wanna know where you want to go."

"So...where do you want to go Leni?"

"I haven't explored one corner of the mall yet. Care to do it with me?"

"Like...okay."

And as the convertible began hovering again and whisked extremely fast, other Leni freaking out momentarily before Leni grabbed her hand and smiled brightly, other Leni couldn't help at feel extremely guilty and shameful...for using Leni as nothing but a sexual vessel for her own sexual gratifications. She realized what she wanted and got as of late wasn't nefarious in intention, but she was being exploitive of the situations she was finding herself in.

Other Leni did want to help, but kept letting the dark, forbidden side of her take full reigns of her stoic and platonic rage. She feared what might happen if Lincoln got involved...if she'd be able to hold her poise and composure should she actually have to interact with him, now with that major factor of wanting to test-drive Lincoln's...manhood. She feared for Luan, getting a read for how messed up and muddled Luan must have been to have agreed to do that back at the Halloween party. It didn't help that Luan accidently force-kissed Leni about a week ago; that set off some bells in her mind, and other Leni kept that memory extremely close.

"This is why you're here Leni, you...this you...to keep me under control...so I don't hurt anyone...especially Lincy," other Leni thought.

Leni suddenly put a song on.

"OOHHH! Luan and I did karaoke to this song other Leni! It was super fun!"

"Yeah, I recognize it."

Leni started singing with the lyrics.

"'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling, And every time we kiss I swear I could fly…
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last...Need you by my side...Come on other Leni! Sing with me!" Leni said rocking jovially back and forth, grabbing other Leni in a strong one-armed hug. Other Leni started quietly mumbling the lyrics as Leni was having a ball.

"Well...at the very least, you're happy...and now I'm beginning to feel happy," other Leni thought, less morose and more content, now rocking her body with Leni's as they venturered into the gigantic dream shopping mall Leni had erected.

Morning Time

9:02 AM

Everyone except Luan had gotten up and started the day. She was still sleeping hard in her bed, the stress from last night taking a toll on her body. Luna tried waking her, but nudged her for five more minutes; that was about an hour ago.

She'd wish she was woken up earlier with Luna, as now she was thrashing in her covers, in the throes of an extremely strange, ungoldly erotic dream. Her body wiggled as she was sweating harder and harder.

Her eyes popped open as she took several deep breaths, panting hard and looking all around her.

"Huuuh….huuuhhh…what….the…fuck…did I just dream?"

Luan let the rough outline play back in her mind; she was having an enormous orgy with Lincoln, Luna, Leni, Carol, Becky and Terri, all while Lori was watching with Bobby and keeping score of who was doing what to who, for how long, then making Olympic-styled judgments and points echoed from both, their voices booming down upon the mash of orgy lust and inhibition that was this muddled twister-like arrangement of pleasure Luan had unwittingly dreamed up. She remembered how they were all tangled in on each other, doing things, putting things, slobbering, licking, sucking, all possible arrangements and moves…Luan had dreamt.

"Okay…out of all dreams I've ever had…that was the most fucked up…and I mean, the most messed up…oh my god….oh god….no….no...no no no...no...NO!"

Luan looked down in her covers like she just lost the most important thing to herself; her mind.

"OH MY GOD! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! GOD DAMN IT! FUCK! AAHAAAAHAHAHHHHHH!"Luan screamed, grabbing her head and shaking violently.

"I HATE MYSELF! I HATE MYSELF! GWWAAAAHHH! I'M A FUCKING MONSTER! A DEPRAVED TWISTED SICK SINFUL FUCKING MONSTER! GGWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Luan cried out in a self-hating roar as she slammed her head hard into the wood headboard of her bunk, rocking the daylights out of her. She winced and teared from the pain, but not only just the physical pain.

"I can't….I can't take this anymore!"

Luan curled up under her covers as she cried into her knees, feeling more disgusted with herself than she's ever been yet.

"That's….that's it…I gotta get this under control, once and for all! NOW!...but how can I?"

Luan stressfully contemplated. She hated what was happening to her, now more so after that morbid orgy she had in her mind with all of them…and she was trying her damndest not to re-imagine all the little details and sounds that were so realistic.

"Okay…take it easy Luan…we…we know we can't jeopardize what we got with Lincoln and Luna…and Leni; no telling who or what Leni that was…I can't risk any of this blowing up in our faces…so…all these dark secrets…mine's the darkest of all…oh god…I'm losing my mind with all this bullshit...especially my depravity."

Luan cried in her hands in angry exasperation, fuming at her own sinful nature and self-hatred. She was now coming to understand how Luna felt about herself the night she unwearyingly confessed her love of Lincoln. But Luan's love…it was more of a haywiring and near meltdown of a nuclear power plant that she wanted out of completely.

Then she looked over to her eleventh-grade stack of textbooks; on the top was her Paul Hewitt Conceptual Physical Science textbook. She kept thinking about that word.

Science.

"…huh….science…maybe that could be my method….hehe, get it?"

She got out of her covers and walked over to the stack, looking intensely at the cover, then lazily scrolled over parts she was struggling with herself, in the Chemistry parts of her homework.

"Man…at least I chose the Physical Science class instead of Chemistry…otherwise, I would have been utterly dissolved, like that magnesium in that acid stuff! Haha…or made into a blithering volatile mess! HA! Oh…I'm trying to think of a good Chemistry pun…but all the good ones Argon…Hahhaa…nah, that sucked...note to self; stay away from Chemistry puns, they don't yield good reactions...hehe."

She took the Physical Science textbook off and saw her Biology textbook under it, flipping to the section on human anatomy and reproduction. Images of flagellum and sperm cells swimming to an egg, and the reproductive organs of the male body shown.

Luan blushed, pupils contracted to tiny dots as she glazed and focused on the site of diagrammed genitalia.

"I can't even look at these pictures without blushing anymore…science…science…that might be my only hope at this point…and if anyone in this house could fix my mind with science…its gotta be Lisa."

Luan put her textbooks back, grabbed a cloth and wiped her head and body dry of sweat, threw on a new yellow tank-top and shorts, then headed out to the hallway.

It was a ghost town. No one was home.

She checked Leni's room, Lucy and Lynn's, Lincoln's, and Lola and Lana's. She was about to check Lily and Lisa's before Luan looked behind her and saw on her and Luna's door a purple sticky note. It was Luna's handwriting, stating they all went to the grocery store to, "pick up some more grub." Luan chuckled, then read further that Lisa opted to sleep in longer, that they were locked in, the alarm on, and that Luan was in charge. Apparently Luan had agreed to get up a little after she said the five minutes thing to Luna, and was suppose to be awake over a half-hour ago.

"Well…dang. I'm up now…but Lisa's far more mature and trustworthy than most of us, especially for a seven year old; I'm sure she'll be responsible and not blow the house to smithe," Luan began, before a huge explosion rocked the house from Lisa and Lily's room.

"…and I spoke too soon."

Luan ran back to Lily and Lisa's room, opening the door and seeing a chuckling Lisa standing next to a lime-green force field. She saw a brown-panted leg moving right through, before the lime-green force field disappeared.

"Ohh...hahhhahahh...oh...you have the most entertaining little gadget gimmicks C-137. Quantum perpetual positive feedback atomization certainly will be something I give more attention to...and that Galactic Federation calendar formula set is just astoundingly asinine, it's too ludicrous to think a whole empire built its chronological birthing on applying two flawed mathematical models for age calculations."

"Uhh...Lisa? Who are you talking to?"

"Oh, greetings Luan. Just a friend from...another side of the door of reality."

"...another reality..."

"You'd find my assertions corollary with a case of insanity, so never you fret. What brings you to my accommodations? Oh! But wait! I know you've been through Precalculus...here," Lisa said, handing Luan a clipboard with a paper with two equations on it. Lisa was snickering with a reserved smile on her face. Luan looked blankly at her, then back to the two equations.

y=3x-7

f(x)={47.7489497[In(x)]}-91.012215

"Huh…so...I can't do these calculations in my head Lisa. What's so funny about these?"

"...leave it to a comedian that can't recall a simple trigonometric derivation...it means that when these ignorant...whatever they were...he calls them robots amusingly, since they are arthropod-like obedient drones...but, back to my musing mathematical point, no one would be considered technically alive unless they were alive for 2.33 years using this abysmally easy funtion...and a little over 6 years if using the natural log function. They're just ridiculously simple and asinine to apply for variable chronologies. In fact, my associate told me his 14 year old grandson and 18 year old granddaughter were 35 and 47, respectively. We both know teenage bodies lack the same development features as middle-aged bodies, no?"

"Yeah...oh, so since we're on math, I guess mom and dad told you what kind of formula they gave you as a baby?"

"Typical market retail varieties I presume?"

"Nope…they gave you quadratic formula...hahha, get it?"

"I get it..he, that was midly amusing, in a very simple way."

"I guess...so I don't want to bother you too much Lisa, but-"

"You're volunteering to be a test subject for a big project I have cooking up?"

"Actually...I wanted to ask you a few questions...about the human mind."

"Um...okay, you may proceed."

"I... you've studied human brains and consciousness and thinking...psychology, that kind of jazz, right?"

"You presume correct. I have doctorate level colloquial knowledge in the fields and designed several gadgets to assist probe the conscious mind of the average and advanced Homo sapien. Why the inquiry?"

"Well...," Luan began, then wandered backwards, looking lazily over Lisa's test tube with an assortment of concoctions and other materials that looked like they belonged to a secret government laboratory.

"Luan?"

"Lisa...can you change how a person feels about someone? Or people?"

"Is this regarding mind and, or emotion alteration? I feel as though you're alluding to mind or emotion alteration, in which case, there is some degree of ability I have in that arena."

"So...let's say I have certain emotions...feelings...strong feelings...and cravings...desires...could they be...negated?"

"Negated...my initial read into your question leads me to believe if you want to know if it's possible to alter the mental state to quell emotional interest, possibly attraction, for someone. Is that about right?"

"Actually...yeah, dead on really."

"So Luan...why would you want to inquire about this?"

"I...I've been going through some things lately in my head...some weird haywiring in my head...and I want it to stop."

"Stop...stop feelings? Make feelings? Manipulate the mind? Because I personally know someone who tried to make the rough equivalent of a roofie to his grandson who gave to a female he found himself biologically attracted to at his school, and...let's just say the whole ordeal with that did not end well for that world's human population."

"Oh...so...there's not much that can be done?"

"I didn't say that. The research is however...very limited beyond just lobotomy and other psychopharmological methods. When it comes to emotions and feelings Luan, those are particularly dangerous and unpredictable to ameliorate or control beyond those two methods and therapeutic discourse, and I'm still trying to generate algorithmic simulations to try and see what best course of action to take for people, cultures and societies that have extremely questionable standards, desires and values, without having to result to drug therapy and coercive psychological persuasion."

"Oh...I...don't understa...so you're saying you know some ways to change emotions...get rid of them, but you won't try them, due to how risky they can be?"

"In a nut shell, yes. Emotions are malleable and generally biochemical in nature and result in extremely complicated interplays between cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurobiochemistry...things that are actually somewhat relevant to my large-scale ideas on constructing algorithms to model human history and predict the future course of humanity. So...in essence...you want to adjust your mental consciousness and...negate feelings you have?"

"...can you help Lisa?"

"Alas...I could try several procedures and methods...but I fear they may turn you into a vegetable, or something worse. The likelihood of them not working at all on you is less than the probability of them doing far more damage. I more often err on the side of caution now."

"Even with that explosion I heard a few minutes ago?" Luan said with a "get real" expression. Lisa just smiled sheepishly.

"Well...I did say often, not always."

"So...there's nothing that could be done for how my head feels all...discombobulated and messed up?"

"I didn't say that. Luckily, in the haphazard arena of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, the one sub-area I pride myself on being able to adjust, and I know this personally, is...memory."

"Memory?"

"Memory Luan...the faculty of the mind tantamount to encoding, storing and retrieving information vital to our everyday existence, without which we might as well be viral particles; I can't successfully negate the mind's complex set of feelings safely, but I can negate memories."

"...really?"

"Indeed. There is a reason I tend to come off as rather blunt, crisp and tactless at times, more often now than I use to; two years ago I designed a device of such nature to help me sort out the useless, trivial experiences and information I don't need in my mind's operational faculties. I need a clear mind so to speak, but I didn't want to totally delete these experiences. So I just used an accounting principle and sorted all the memory in my head, categorized it to compartments necessary for daily functioning with matters of mathematics and science...my loves of course, followed by my daily domicile and familial interactions...that's you and our family...and everything else, white noise, I filter out."

"I...can you show me?"

"Of course," Lisa said with closed eyes and a confident smile, walking over to her laptop. She turned it on, then gently pressed the side of her head. Suddenly the laptop morphed outwards a large interactive field screen.

"WHOA!" Luan shouted in surprise, backing up.

"Oh...I forgot...so many modifications, I never told you guys did...silly me...anyhow, I'll have the wireless interactive ability down in a bit. Now, I can interact with my mind's information catalogues, tidbits and data points so easily and elegetnly organized; in fact, I've been lately toying with the idea of being self-aware and continuously working and processing in my sleep, but that's a tangent discussion. I have the power of altering my memories, storing them...deleting them."

"That...could that work on me Lisa?"

"Alas..."

"Alas what Lisa?"

"...I've accidently took out a year's worth of personal memories and experiences from my second year of life, so I have a gigantic gap of experiences missing between the ages of two and three."

"Whoa..."

"Indeed whoa. I just managed to delineate the process and define it to work for certain time periods...short time periods. You're familiar with the laughably silly movie series "Men in Black?"

"Yeah."

"The device that they use to wipe memories, I've designed something similar. It more or less is primarily an extractor, as opposed to a permanent wiper, but it can function as that too."

"So...the memories you can extract...can you extract certain ones?"

"Generally speaking, yes. It's best to work with memories from experiences that are fresh. Personally the most optimal times of extraction are either immediately, or post-thirty minutes of such experience."

"How about memories...in dreams?"

"...out of the question I'm afraid Luan. Dreams are complicated behemoths that tend to flip and reverse the laws of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity...chaos theory is admittedly pretty useful in modeling the directions and paths dreams can take, but determining the initial constants and variables for how dreams proceed is notoriously difficult; managing them is that much tougher, as my associate from the other plane of existence found out himself too."

"So...I think we're just going in a circle Lisa. Can you help me?"

"...I can try. Here...what is this?" Lisa said, holding up a deck of cards.

"...a deck of cards. Why?"

"Now...what's this card?" Lisa asked, pulling out a random card.

"It's...the Jack of hearts."

"Good...remember that, now hold still," Lisa said, pulling a cigar-sized metal tub from her pocket.

"Advertize those still existing marginally noticeable dental protuberances you've got," Lisa said, Luan looking dumbfounded before a bright green flash temporarily blinded Luan.

"WHOA LISA! WHAT THE-"

"Temporary blindness; it will be gone in five, four, three, two...okay, can you see now?"

"Uh...yeah, now I can. What was that about? You trying to flash me or something? Get it? And were you cracking a sly joke about my teeth?"

"...amusing and filthy, and yes, I was. Now...without further adieu...what card did I just show you moments ago?"

Luan looked at the pack of standard fifty-two card deck Lisa was holding.

"Huh...I...I can't remember...wow...I can't remember what card that was!"

"Excellent...it was the Jack of hearts...that memory was just wiped out."

"You deleted it?"

"Exactly, though I tend to err personally on extraction. I can set memory extraction or deletion for specific time periods...five seconds, thirty-two seconds, minutes, hours, ect."

"How does that help me Lisa?"

"Well, depending on when you started developing feelings and emotions for this individual, I might be able to pin-point that memory and extract or delete it."

"...you said the best times are recent memories Lisa?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because...I don't know exactly when these feelings developed...they just got a little bigger...then a little bigger...secretly inside me without really knowing...I wasn't giving them much thought, but now they're all encompassing of me."

"...dang it," Lisa huffed out, "...you should have come to me earlier Luan; I might have been able to squelch and extract those memories...but now?"

"Now you can't do it?"

"I...I might, but we need to be extremely careful. I'll need you to hop in this chair...and I'll need complete access to your memories, experiences...thoughts...your mind basically."

"What? You're going to probe my mind?"

"Yes. Beyond just memory, I've been able to actually record dreams now; how do you think I know they're so hard to describe mathematically? I need to observe them, their biochemical and neural origins. The often lucid inner realms and landscapes of dreams, it's really quite fascinating. It was admittedly one of the harder things I've done in the past, but I like being able to know I was the first human being to actually record dreams as the person is dreaming...or even record a copy of the memories and experiences inside the human mind."

"So Lisa...you can record a copy of them, like me using my cameras to record the family?"

"Precisely...in all the little details...mostly; I have to view them from the perspective of the dreamer, but otherwise, I see what they're seeing, whether it's through their eyes in the dream, or from a rough background landscape perspective, to which I can more than just easily zoom in and use fractal differentiation and algorithmic coding to sub-mechanize the actual bits of data and information quantifiable in that realm."

"So...memories and experiences...you can record them...but you can't extract or delete them successfully?"

"Not with precision or accuracy, and I made my list of conditions for optimal, albeit limited operation quite apparent, so try to keep up. Now, it is vastly easier to record the flow of information than try to successfully and without error delete substrands of it. Even with my best algorithms, I could quite easily make a mistake or oversight, along with any programmed function in my computers too. I can't trust myself or my technology yet in making any monumental errors in that field, not beyond either the standard margin of error, or an hour's worth of experiences and memories; I could run the risk of an out-of-control extraction, or in the worst case...complete destruction of the mind. The QA/QC aspect of my research on that front is still...incomplete. Science can be a fickle mistress Luan."

"...so...I gotta let you...see everything that's happened to me...so you can see what the damage is...and find what's wrong with me."

"I need to make an initial field observation of your mind and track the events in your memory...yes."

"...oh shiiiiiiiiiit."

"No need for derogatory vernacular Luan."

"It's totally appropriate Lisa. I...I dunno if I could or should let you see what I've gone through lately."

"I have no real concern of that Luan. I would only like to assist you in my own particular methodology."

"No...Lisa, you don't understand. It...what you may find out...could destroy our entire family!"

"You have my confidentiality in this matter of course. I'm sure you're making this more of a colossus than it really is."

"I'm not. I may be a jokester Lisa...but I've never been so serious in my life."

Luan turned around; her eyes were glossy and ready to cry.

"Luan...trust me. I've studied things that have made grown men cry and have humbled the most powerful men in all recent history. I have a strong stomach; just ask out president."

"...I'm not going near that proposal Lisa."

"...haha...silly me, of course you won't. So...Luan, trust me. This is purely scientific technique and art used to assist my sister. How about it?"

"Will...will you use your memory extractor on yourself once this is done...and delete it?"

"You have my promise Luan. Whatever I see...which I don't think will be that big of a deal...I'll toss that memory in my metaphorical trash bin."

"And it'll be permanently deleted?"

"Of course...but don't let me forget; I need to give Lincoln a USB drive."

Lisa pulled a small USB drive, labeled Lincoln's Recovery.

"What's that for Lisa?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just a little apology present I planned on giving Lincoln a long time ago...and forgot like a complete ignoramus. It's regarding my role in the whole snowballing effect the sister-fight-protocol had on him, how that played out recently...you know personally of course?"

"...don't remind me."

"This is why I think he will like this token apology and offer of good will."

"So...what is it though?"

"Lincoln's childhood photos."

"...NO WAY!" Luan yelled out happily.

"Indeed...uuuh...way."

"But...but how? Lincoln accidently deleted them; they all went to the trash bin. Nothing comes back from an electronic trash bin."

"...and they wonder why I'm a genius," Lisa mumbled under her breath with a slight smirk.

"Wow...that's...something Lisa. How long did it take you to reacquire Lincoln's deleted childhood photos?"

"Let's see...almost immediately after he accidently reallocated them in the trash bin."

"...you've had them for three years...and haven't told him?"

"Whoopsiedoodle...my mind is a bit clogged, hence why I tamper with memory and experience cataloging Luan."

"Dang...you better not tell him about that; he might get miffed big time."

"A brilliant assertion Luan. Now, let's continue on this utterly mental memory and experience observation."

"Mental...heheehhe...get it?"

"...unfortunately yes."

Lisa had Luan sit in the chair. As she was turning around, Luan spun fast into the chair with a bit of nervousness, her bust accidently knocking Lisa right off her feet onto the carpeted ground.

"LISA! ARE YOU-"

"I'm fine...ow...Luan, you might want to consider breast reduction...good lord...my cranium and neuropathophysiology seems in relative equilibrium, but those ridiculous mammary glands of yours are an enormous hazard."

"Tell me about it; just wait till you get older Lisa! You might have such a problem too!" Luan said in annoyance, the little genius' eyes going wide momentarily.

"...note to self; explore and predict the genetic and psychological development of myself, the twins, Lucy and Lily...possibly Lincoln and Lynn based on shorter heights than per average expected for their respective ages."

"Lisa?"

"Right...the experiment."

Lisa lowered a small circular piece of metal, copper in appearance with a slurry of wires poking out, connecting to some kind of terminal.

"The prototype is no longer as safe as my second prototype," Lisa mused to herself.

"Second prototype?" Luan asked nervously.

"Relax...it's far superior than the first version."

"Why is that?"

"...you don't want to know Luan. Now hold still please...and...there! Are you ready for this Luan?"

Luan sniveled like a scared little girl, but recalled the slurry of memories...feelings...everything about Lincoln...Luna...Leni...those girls at the party, her haywiring sexuality...everything in her periphery all of a sudden looked doable to her, even...

"Do it Lisa...I want...these feelings and thoughts gone!"

"Alright...commencing memory and experience observation, Luan Trial one, in five...four...three...two...one!"

Lisa pressed a button on her laptop, and a large screen popped up in the open space again. Within moments, the chair and metal sheet gave several static discharge noises, freaking out Luan momentarily.

"Stay calm! Just typical variable electrical flow; my main computer terminal machine is remotely converting your neuron impulses into a viewable record based on your typical thinking patterns."

Luan winced, feeling a deep, electrical tingle in her body. She felt the hair on her head beginning to lift up in static discharge, her ponytail seemingly rising of its own accord.

"And...here...we...go!" Lisa said excitedly, Luan's memories, experiences and thoughts now flowing unfiltered. Luan unintentionally suppressed her thoughts on Leni as much as she possibly could, clouding now the live recorded images of Leni and Luan in close physical proximity with one another, before the haze and cloud cover around them dissipated.

The images then morphed into an unstoppable slurry of the memory and experiences; of Luna's revelation about being in love with Lincoln, her morning dry-hump of an exhausted sleeping Luna, her anxiety and ordeal on the bus, playing twister and the little interactions she had with everyone, Luna and Lincoln's reveal that they both loved each other...her mental breakdown in the basement...her escalated fight with Leni and Lynn, all over who got the last tampon in the bathroom, the rage and blood boiling evident still in her flurry of feelings showing on screen...all the way to seeing Lincoln rage at them in the basement, tell them those cold words, then leave...everything...everything visceral, everything to do about being in love with Lincoln, lusting and feeling things for Luna; jealousy, rage, love, happiness, denial, acceptance. It morphed her short-lived depression from thinking Luna, Leni and Lincoln weren't coming back alive from venturing out in the storm, to Luan pleasuring herself from overhearing Lincoln and Luna engaging in activities themselves, secretly singing with them afterwards, getting turned on by Luna's body and Lincoln massaging her feet, then switched to her watching over Lincoln and Luna over the last few days with what seemed like content and accepting joy, only for it to morph into a gigantic scene of Luan herself singing karaoke in front of a large crowd of costumed young people, followed by seeing masses of these costumed folks now engaged in pansexual-laden orgies with one another. Luan's large breasts came to from her own point of view, seeing herself gently try and squeeze milk out of them, followed by a morphing sequence to Maggie now kissing Luan, point of view as well.

Luan had her eyes closed the whole time, not wanting to see Lisa's reaction...but her curiosity got the better of her eventually, and she was getting dangerously close to one part of her memory and experiences.

Luan opened one eye, to see an utterly catatonic, stunned and speechless Lisa Loud, unblinking, staring and drinking in the images, the sounds and remembered words and quotes that flew by in rapid succession along the artificial screen. Her eyes, even with her glasses, grew terrified and confused. Her pupils contracted to near-nonexistence.

Luan looked over to digitized screen; elements of her dream were springing to life in the screen; her dreamt sexual engagements with Lincoln...Luna...Leni...Lynn...Carol, Becky, Terri...it was happening all live in a rapid spit-fire playlist-like frenzy.

"...oh...my...lord," Lisa said weakly and in horrified awe.

Suddenly, Leni, in her angel and polar bear costume was coming into view, slowly but intently now beginning to unbutton Luan's joker jacket.

Luan suddenly yelled out in panic, ripping the metal gear off her head, causing a momentary electrical shock that knocked Luan right out of her seat.

"...LUAN!" Lisa yelled out in fear, running over to Luan.

Luan looked knocked out, but still alive and breathing. Lisa checked her pulse; normal.

"Luan...please...please sit up! Dang it!"

The vestigial elements of the memory was passing over the screen, fading in and out, showing Leni slowly leaning into Luan, before Lisa shuddered as she saw Luan leaning in forwards to Leni...before the imagery went dark; no more observable or recorded imagery of Luan's memories and experiences, or her dreams.

Luan slowly opened her eyes, reeling from the shock of the metal head band.

"Uhhh...ow...that was a shocking twist...hehe...get it?"

"Luan...are you...cerebrally and anatomical sufficient?"

"...what?"

"Huuhh...are you okay?"

"I...I think...I was..I got panicky, when...HHHUUUUUUHHHHHHH!" Luan gasped in horror, seeing Lisa's face, still plastered in shock and mortification from what she saw in Luan's memories, experiences and dreams.

Luan sniveled, before pulling herself into the fetal position on the floor...and began crying hard into her legs.

"Lu...Luan...I...I'm...at a lost...for-"

"I'm a monster Lisa...things have changed around here...you know now...what's going on...with Lincoln and Luna...and me...everything...Leni...things are happening...I'm depraved Lisa...I need help."

"I...can tell...goodness gracious, it's an incontrovertible miracle all this has happened right under my nose."

"...you must hate me...hate us...I...I don't blame you," Luan sniveled as she teared into her hands, cuffing them over her face.

Suddenly some scurrying sounds pitched the lamentations emanating from Luan; Lisa left her side and went to her computer, doing various things, announcing silently to permanently delete with an added code "NEGA-O13;" she said this quietly. She then walked back over to Luan.

"Luan...I...will maintain complete and absolute confidentiality of the events that appear to have transpired in our house outside my watch."

"You...you promise Lisa?"

"Of course...what are sisters for?"

"Lisa...Lisa I can't-"

"Now...regarding you, I can't for sure ensure that I can resolve the mental landscape that, if I may be frank, seems irreparably damaged beyond repair...but I'm going to try. My new project will be modeling and testing new ways to try and crack the intricacies of memory, experience, dreams...and more specifically, how to extract extremely obscure and distant ones without irreparable damage to the host neurological networking of one's brain."

"You're really going to try and help me?"

"As I stated; sister, family, that general tomfoolery. But...I must admit Luan...I'm...surprised...by how much Luna, Lincoln...and presumably Leni...have gone down these strange paths in existence...and most of all Luan...you."

"I...I know."

"I...as I promised, I'm going to delete my memory of this entire occurrence. In fact," Lisa said with some more reserve and calm in her voice, pulling out the metal cigar-shaped device, pointing it at herself, "erasing the last minutes in three...two...one...Gouda cheese."

A dark yellow flash illuminated over Lisa, Luan now pulling herself up from her lamenting, blithering and self-hating mess.

"Lisa...Lisa...do you remember?"

"Oh...huh...yeah...I remember you needing assistance for some form of feeling analysis in your psyche or some such foolishness. Judging by the way my metal band head equipment looks careened to the side...we just tried that experiment."

"Yeah...it...it didn't go well...but I can't thank you enough Lisa!" Luan said with a sad, wet yet sweet tone, leaning down and embracing Lisa in a tight hug, nearly knocking Lisa out with her breasts in the process.

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! EASY WITH THOSE MAMMARY GLANDS! Goodness Luan, you're going to do some serious damage with those one day."

"Ha ha ha...so...you don't remember seeing...any of my memories? Or experiences, or dreams?"

"I...no. I'm afraid my eraser was successful in this case. A shame really; could have used additional dream landscape testing and analyses grounds, but I remember the promise I gave to you, and I am a woman of promise and obligation."

"So...just to be clear Lisa...you don't recall seeing anything...possibly damming or of a degree that could rip this family apart?"

"I'm afraid not Luan, though by the way you're describing them, they seem pretty prominent and damning events."

"You knew...and couldn't really respond for a while. I...I think what you found out, temporarily broke your tolerance for facts and reality."

"Well...I think we should call it a day then Luan. I need to ensure my entire technical operation is still...well...operational. I can tell from you taking off the metal headband that you must have gotten a nasty shock."

"I did...but it wasn't as bad as seeing you react to what I've got in my noggin."

"I still assert that anything you must have showed me, I've seen and read worst."

"I sure hope so Lisa...again, thank you for trying to help me...and working on a way to help in the future."

"Oh...did I agree to that?"

"Crap...that's right...uh...you promised me that you'd try and find a way to safely extract distant and latent memories, experiences and dreams from my mind."

"I promised that? Riveting. Well, I shall put some other projects on hold and work on some algorithms. I might need some time though Luan...what say...two weeks?"

"Two weeks...dang, that's a long time, even for you Lisa."

"I'm attempting to tamper with the mind...safely. That's not an entirely easy proposition Luan."

"Yeah...true."

"So...are you able to hold out for longer Luan? Your mind and...feelings as they seem to apparently be right now?"

"Y...yeah...I think I can hold out for a while. Thank goodness I've got my comedy."

"For once I'm grateful for your discourse; the perfect self-antitdote to your condition...whatever it may be."

"Yeah...it helps a bit," Luan said, thinking to herself honestly that her comedy and puns were more like a Band Aid on an open artery wound.

"I'll...leave you to your privacy Lisa. Again...thank you...so much for trying."

"All in the name of science...and family Luan."

Luan gave a week, glossy smile before she headed out and closed the door.

She took several steps forward, pausing in a stance momentarily, before feeling again; she was having a slurry of feelings take her over, the most dominant being her inordinately powerful affection and love for Lincoln.

"Linc...why do I love you so much? Why do you turn me on Luna? And...what the fuck have I done with Leni? God...god damn it...I'm so screwed up...I'm so screwed up."

Luan just stood in the center of the hallway, standing and breathing hard, trying to compose herself.

Suddenly all the house pets came careening out of Lola and Lana's room, heading right for Luan.

"Awwww...hey guys," Luan said sweetly with a sad tone. Charles licked her leg while Cliff rubbed himself on her other leg. Geo ran circles around her, Izzy and Hops crawled up to snuggle in her arms, while Walt flew on her shoulder and rubbed his head against her cheek.

"You guys are awesome, you know that? If...if only you could understand what I feel right now."

Something else caught Luan's attention, crawling from Lola and Lana's room; a gigantic, slow-moving tarantula.

"Whoa...now that's eight legs of furry fright...hahah...get it?"

The pets just gave her a "really?" look to her, before they cuddled one more time, then headed back to the giant tarantula.

"Goodness...hope Leni doesn't see that; she might crush it to death."

Luan felt a bit of relief from the distraction and comfort the family pets offered her. She was about to head downstairs, before she heard her cellphone vibrate several times in her pocket.

She took it out and saw who it was.

"What...the...fuck?"

It was Carol Pingrey; she somehow got a hold of Luan's number, and just texted her.

Luan suddenly felt unfettered, unmitigated and fiery rage boil into her as she read the text.

"Luan. I want to apologize for my, Becky and Terri's behavior at the party last night. It was absolutely inexcusable and horrendous what we put you through, and most of all, Leni. We want to invite you over to our apartment so we can personally apologize. Leni is already on her way over. Carol Pingrey."

Luan Loud lost her train of thought momentarily, her mind going static as she was trying to reconcile the facts she was just introduced in less than ten seconds.

Leni was heading over to Carol's place as she contemplated her next action; Luan looked back down and saw the listed address, somewhere in downtown Royal Woods, at the Eight-Fifty-five South Main Apartments.

"...this is a cover; they're...trying to seduce me and Leni again...NO!" Luan roared, running back into her room and throwing on the first jacket and pair of socks and shoes she could find.

"I'M GONNA FUCKING DESTROY THEM!" Luan roared as her face contorted with fire and death.

As she ran up to the front door, she saw everyone back from grocery shopping, except Leni.

Luan waited momentarily, jogging in place rapidly, before Lincoln opened the door.

"Hi Luan, you feeli-"

"I'M GOOD LINCOLN! GOTTA GO! UHH...STAND UP COMIC APPOINTMENT! UNAVOIDABLE!"

Luan rushed past Lincoln and everyone else, causing everyone to wonder what was up with her.

"Did she get another call at the comedy club?" Lynn Sr asked while hauling Lily out of her car seat as Lily was doing impressions of The Three Stooges, then imitating a swoosh sound that Luan made.

Rita just rolled her shoulders in, "I dunno."

"Dude...what's her game bruh?" Luna asked, before she recalled the fact that Leni said at the grocery store she was going to visit some friends...and Leni really struggled with saying the word "friends."

"Huh...something's up with her; I don't like it...but she told me to butt out. Maybe...I can call Lori and see if she knows anything about the party. It ain't exactly snitchin if I look around the landscape and poke at it."

Luna and everyone else hauled in the groceries and proceeded to settle down, Rita and Lynn Sr going into the dining room to read and book and the newspaper respectively.

"Huh...mmmeuermrmttmm...oh my lord honey! Look at this!" Lynn Sr said with slight urgency, showing Rita the front page. Rita began reading it out loud, before her eyes went wide and zipped her lip.

"Enormous orgy of drugged-out, Halloween-costumed young adults and teenagers discovered by local police force...good lord sweetie, that's even a thing?"

"Kids these days; I tell ya, when the chips are down, all they want to do is fu...I mean...release some stress, in the most asinine way possible."

"Well Lynn...we were kids too, remember?"

"Yeah...but that was different!"

"N...not really."

"Come on Rita, we never did crazy stuff like that."

"We got the family kicked out from skinny dipping that one time."

"...okay, but that's nothing compared to-"

"And if I recall all those years ago...before the kids...didn't we both end up in a bed with a bunch of women and few men in it? Totally dazzed and not sure what in blazes happened the night before?"

Lynn Sr just gave a stern look, then folded his newspaper and put it in his arms.

"I'm going to get dinner ready," he huffed quietly.

"But it's ten in the morning."

"Better early...oh those memories...why dya have to bring them up!" Lynn Sr said in an annoyed tone, walking into the kitchen.

Rita just gave a sly grin and a little chuckle.

"Hehe...he, like, literally still does not like to talk about it...bet he's blushing from how good I was on that woman."

In the corner Lynn and Luna both overheard what they were talking about.

"Dang Luna! An orgy? Here?"

"I know dude; crazy stuff."

"Man...maybe I should have went out on Halloween."

"...WHAT!? Don't even think about ever doing that!"

"Just messin with ya rocker girl," Lynn said, giving Luna a punch in the shoulder.

"Yeah...I hope you are. I need to head upstairs and make a few calls. Man the fort while I'm busy?"

"Roger Luna!"

"Thanks."

Luna strolled up the stairs as the rest of the Loud children were putting the groceries away; Lily was trying to imitate the voice of Toucan Sam and Tony the Tiger while Lincoln was lifting her up to place the respective cereal brands on the top of the refrigerator. Lola and Lana began fighting over the back of sour gummy worms they just said they'd share, and Lucy was methodically staring at the ingredients to several starch products, wondering which would make an even better looking replica of blood with the right dye.

Lynn moseyed over and was about to pick up the few large items on the ground, when she saw a package of bunny graham crackers on the countertop.

She started unintentionally drooling. Instead of seeing the rabbit graham cracker design on the box, she now saw bunny Lingerie Lincoln, play-hopping on the grassy field, then bending down on all fours, using one of his bunny-socked legs to scratch his ear like a rabbit would in the wild, seeing his pink socked toes wiggle back and forth along his freckled cheek.

"Come on Lynn," the imagined Lincoln said seductively to Lynn, "...hop with me...and I'll hop into you."

Lynn let out a deep, grunty and restricted growl, before she was shaken back to reality by Lily, pointing to the box Lynn was just transfixed on.

"Lynn...why are you dwooling like a doggy?"

"...no reason Lily...here," Lynn said nervously, and then handed the box of graham crackers over to Lily. Lily skipped and hummed over to the table as Lynn Sr was prepping some dishes and platters of food feverishly.

She looked over the scene, and saw Lincoln breaking apart Lola and Lana's fight by splitting the bag of sour gummy worms in two, to which both said "thanks Lincoln" in there typically unison way.

"I gotta go watch TV. My head's still in that...weird zone."

Lynn left the kitchen, unaware that Lucy was watching Lynn secretly from the corner of her periphery. She could tell something just crossed Lynn's mind, but was not sure what.

Back upstairs Luna was just prepping to call Lori to see how she was doing, under the disguise of trying to hint at the possible happenings from last night. She had to not know, otherwise she would have either drilled Luan or Leni about it, or there'd be another headline about a young woman brutally murdering two other young women.

Luna pressed the call button, and within a few seconds of ringing, the other line answered.

"Uggghhh...what's up Luna?"

"Whoa Lori...dude...you sound like crap."

"Man...me and Bobby had a wild night together...uhhh...he and I are sore everywhere."

"What the hell? Did you two go...somewhere last night?"

"No. We stayed home and...got a bit blitzed on some things...did things to each other that I'm now kinda regretting...poor Bobby, but he took it like a champ."

"...I'm not even gonna ask. So you've been crashed out hard all night and morning I take it?"

"Eehh...yup. We've been passed out since...what, almost eleven last night. You're my first call."

"Huh...so...no one called you? Last night Lori?"

"About what?"'

"...so Dana and Chaz didn't call you, or Leni or Luan?"

"...literally Luna, what's up?"

"Nothing...nothing, just wondering if you saw any news or not."

"Uh-uh. Like I said; been passed out all night, cudled with my boo-boo bear."

Luna faked-gagged when she heard her coo out Bobby's name like that.

"Good lord, I hope I don't end up like how Lori is with Bobby...yuck!"

"Yuck Luna?"

"Nothing...no yuck...hehehe...so, everything's cool?"

"As far as I can tel...hold on Luna; Bobby's dragging me to the TV...some kind of news about something."

"...oooohh shit..."

"What? Why oh shit Luna?"

"You...you've been out for so long, you don't even know what happened last night."

"What happened last ni-"

The line stayed silent for a few moments, before Luna could hear the faint sounds of a news broadcast, detailing the location and events of last night; the secret orgy/Halloween party and the subsequent police bust.

"...Lori?"

"...WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!?"

"WHOA! CHILL! Some serious stuff went down dude. Linc and I weren't there luckily, but Luan and Leni-"

"I KNOW! I SENT THEM! OH MY GOD! I TOLD THEM TO GIVE LENI A GOOD TIME! I FUCKED UP!"

"Yeah...yeah...you, you royally fucked up big time," Luna said sternly back.

"OH MY GOD! LIKE LITERALLY OH MY GOD!...Luna?"

"Yeah dude?"

"Did anything happen to Leni and Luan last night there? Were they arrested?"

"No, Luan said they got out at the last second, her, Leni, Chaz and Dana...just before the cops crashed the joint. But..."

"But what Luna?"

Luna stayed silent momentarily.

"...BUT, LITERALLY WHAT LUNA?"

"I'm not suppose to tell you; I promised Luan."

"...you know something...tell me now."

"I can't Lori! I promised Luan; it ain't good karma or vibe to rat out on a promise."

"...TELL ME OR I'M COMING OVER AND TELLING MOM AND DAD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED!"

"...you wouldn't; they'd be so bloody pissed off at you and all of us involved."

"I swear I will Luna...come on...tell me, what's this detail you're not telling me."

"...huuuuuuuhhh...your friends...Dana and Chaz?"

"Yeah?"

"They were showing Leni a good time...till that stuff started happening."

Luna heard a wicked growl.

"And...Leni and Luan were both...well, mostly Leni actually, but basically both were hit on...by...Carol and Becky...Terri too possibly, though I'm not so sure about-"

"HIT ON LIKE HOW?"

"HEY! I SHOULD BE YELLING AT YOU FOR FUCKIN UP IN THE FIRST PLACE, SO TAKE A FUCKING RAGE DUMP...now...they were trying to seduce them...like, sexually seduce them...Lori?"

Luna just heard a deafening silence. She could hear Bobby trying to coax Lori out of what seemed like a silent, boiling gamma-level meltdown.

"...Lori? Lori? Hey!...dude, keep your stack capped bruh...breath...breath with me. Come on girl, stay with-"

"I'm...literally like, the dumbest fucking blonde on Earth...even including Leni..." Lori said with trembling, quaking utterances.

"Breathe Lori...ya...ya just gotta breathe," Luna said assuringly, urgently trying to help from the other line. She could hear Bobby's voice getting more nervous and terrified by the second.

"...Lori?"

Luna heard Bobby over the other line say,"...oh sweet shit."

"Lori?"...Lor-"

"I'M GONNA RIP THEIR FUCKING SOULS OUT IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"

"LORI! NO! WAIT! DON'T-"

The line went dead.

"...aaahh shit...Lori's on a rampage; no telling what she's gonna do to those girls...man do I wanna see this...but...if Lincoln knew about this, he'd tell me," Luna paused, putting on a bad impression of Lincoln's voice, "...that wouldn't be right to let that happen, even after the bad stuff they pulled."

Luna chuckled.

"Oh...he doesn't even know what they tried on Leni and Luan...he might lose his cool too...or not; he'd probably be a kind little goofball and try and negotiate the whole deal...little sweetheart."

Luna looked through her contacts, before deciding to text over Luan and Leni, hopefully before Lori would get a hold of them.

As she began texting a message out, her phone vibrated; it was Luan texting.

"Oh boy...what's Miss Comedy got to say."

Luna read the text.

"YOU TOLD LORI?"

Luna texted back that she asked if Lori knew about what happened at the Halloween party, and that they were living on borrowed time anyways, so she was bound to find out eventually.

Luna waited momentarily before another text popped on from Luan.

"HOW THE HELL DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT ME AND LENI THEN!?"

Luna winced; she could feel Luan's anger through the all-caps.

"I...might have accidently slipped what happened to Leni and you...and she threatened to get mom and dad involved if I didn't tell her everything I know," Luna texted back.

She waited a few moments. Then another text.

"...oh...I don't blame you. Lori's fucking terrifying...but those girls don't know the meaning of terrifying until I get a hold of them. I think they're going to try and seduce me and Leni...mostly Leni again, and I'm gonna wipe the floor with them."

"...damn dude; that's dark Luan," Luna said. She texted back, trying to just convince Luan to calm down and just take Leni home.

Suddenly a text prompt came up.

"Failed to send text? What the what? Blimey! She turned her cell phone off!"

"Yo Luna!" Lynn yelled out from behind her door, "ya gotta check this out! Lincoln and Lola are having another burping contest! Want in?"

"In a minute Lynn! Oh...oh right...she can't hear me," Luna remembered, now heading to her door and telling Lynn she'll be down in a little bit.

Luna thought how out of control this could get. Luan usually had an extremely level head, but the few times she got angry...she was even more terrifying than Lori could be.

"What the hell do I-"

Suddenly the text went through, and almost immediately, Luan texted back.

"Don't worry; I'm not going to claw my way to a jail cell, get it? No violence, promise!"

"Dang...bloody heck bruh, maybe she cooled down a bit."

"But I am going to give them a piece of my mind," Luan texted back again.

"Alright. Just let me know if you need anything. And how are you getting over there?" Luna texted.

"Already on it, half way there on my old nemesis," Luan seemed to text back slowly.

"What's that?"

"...public transportation."

"...uh oh."

---

Earlier, as Luan closed the door on Lisa's room, Lisa stared at the wall for a few moments, trying to absorb any fictional good vibes and thoughts from the situation she found herself in now.

She set a series of camouflaged locks to remotely lock the door from the inside.

"...I...I feel...rather guilty and dubious for lying to Luan like that; the yellow light is just a gimmick trick...and those memories and experiences as of recent of hers are still recor...oh...oh...uh-oh...lord...AH...HOLY TALEDO...BBLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Lisa hurled as she began to vomit violently on the carpet floor, her brain involuntarily running through the entire record of memories and experiences that unfolded and got recorded into her computer. She was locked in this continuous thirty-second long uncontrollable, cosmically disgusted, nauseated and repulsed mode of each drop of the reality that sank in her mind.

When she expectorated several bits of stomach acid onto the floor, she weakly got up and headed to her workbench and grabbed several chemicals, then poured them onto the carpet, causing them to react in a bubbly, gassy manner, but the stain, liquid stomach bile and chunks of digested food now fizzling to nothing but gas and particles.

She then walked to her closet and rubber her face with a cloth, then a moist baby-wipe towelette.

"Oh for neutrino's sakes! I have much more mental rigor than this! I...I suppose the concept of incest is that much more vile to me if it's afflicting my kin. As hard as it is, I must face the bold-faced, unadulterated and uncomfortable facts as they stand."

Lisa took a deep breath, closed her eyes and thought very carefully, now beyond the stage of getting physically sick from thinking about her sisters and brothers engaged with one another.

"Alright...alright Loud...face the truth...even though in this one anomalous instant I'd prefer not to...Luna and Lincoln are involved in an incestuous relationship with one another; Lincoln and Luna have feelings for one another that are well beyond the bounds of acceptable social standards. As much as I typically despise faulty primitive social standards and values...this one I think I concur with...now...Luan..."

Lisa paused, thinking as bad as it seemed Lincoln and Luna were in there relationship based on Luan's memories, Luan's state of mind seemed infinitely more warped, twisted and out of control.

"...damn it Luan...damn you...DAMN YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO ME WHEN THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING! I COULD HAVE HELPED YOU ALL...I could have...would have I been able to help?"

She recalled Luan's more sensual, sex-acts...how sexually depraved and deviant they were, totally unexpected from Luan of all sisters, minus Leni, of course that was coming up soon too.

"Now...Luan's sex drive seems to be hay wiring, her interests much more...varied that one would legitimately expect of her. How she's kept this out of frame, I don't know, but she seems to cross the spectrums of bisexuality, pansexuality, omnisexuality...and quite possibly with Lincoln and Luna's case...demisexulaity. How to properly label her without further inquiry into those memories and experiences is not possible at the moment; for now I'll roughly settle Luan on sexual deviancy with elements of demisexuality...however, those other girls in her dreams seems to lend possibility that she has extremely powerful same-sex attractions too. And yet...as far as I can tell from those memories, she is legitimately in love with Lincoln...sexually, affectionately...romantically...good lord what has transpired..."

And with a tsunami of reality that was depravity incarnated in her sister Luan Lisa had to face, Leni came to next.

Of all this siblings, Leni was the most surprising. Based on Luan's memories, Leni seemed to have same-sex, incestuous attractions to Luan, as Luan does for Leni.

"My god...my elder siblings are acting like Ambrosia Beetles...that's a horrific thought...though it is a common misconception that incest is unequivocally avoided in nature. It most definitely is often avoided whenever possible...but there are natural outliers based on molecular ecological studies of spotted salamanders and Japanese quails...and the results of several studies on an Osteichthyes species...prefer sister-brother mating...good lord...GOOD LORD! LINCOLN AND LUNA MIGHT HAVE SEX!"

Lisa ran to her computer and started running several DNA-mix simulations, trying to judge how at the genetic level if they were to do such a thing...their offspring would fair.

"...just what I gathered...as well as science and society generally has agreed as likely...it's a cold hard fact that, genetically speaking...the risk for passing down a genetic disease is much higher for siblings than first cousins. If Luna and Lincoln were first cousins...I might not be so disgusted with this...note to self; personally reflect upon repulsion of familial incest."

She looked over the coded genetic sequences she simulated, a hypothetical sperm cell with Lincoln's rough DNA code and Luna's DNA in her egg...and watched the simulated development she designed for her own interests on the stage and origins of lifespan development and Embryology.

"So...on average...should Lincoln and Luna bumble so ignorantly and generate a viable zygote that reaches viable fetal development...and not including the proposition of aborting said fetus...the chances of their child would be...much lower. Their offspring would have a fifty-fold high risk of any rare disease or disorder that might come about from potentially unknown sets of recessive diseases in their code...they'd be dooming their child from the start to a harsh...possibly painful and deteriorating death."

Lisa sat in her chair, trying to come to grips that, not only Luna and Lincoln had these problems she now found herself invariably linked to, but Luan's mental fragility and seeming propensity for the same love Luna apparently felt for Lincoln, add to it her sexual depravity, and Leni's questionable, rather subtle incestuous behavior in Luan's memories...Lisa sighed heavily.

"...is this why you consume excess amounts of alcohol C-137? To numb yourself? The pain? Well...at the very least, I'm not in any way involved with the antics that is this ridiculous Appalachian circus I call my elder siblings. If they wish to follow this destructive route and risk the family falling apart...then again..." Lisa thought. She tried to be cold, pragmatic and uncaring again. She tried erecting that wall of scientific aloofness of hers...to no avail.

"I...as hard as I try, and as disgusted and revolted as I am with my sibling's behavior and flagrante disregard for the stability of this household...I still care for them...my primitive altruistic kinship...I value them...I still love them, and I don't want the degeneration of their entire lives to come forth if they are in this metaphorical boat."

Lisa walked over to her bed, and pulled out a small piece of chocolate.

"Goodness knows we all have our little...vices in life," she said quietly with more lisp than usual, taking a small bite out of the chocolate, her eyes getting partly wide for a moment.

"Whoa...yum...I needed that. Now...if I feel I want to divorce myself of the need to get involved in the incestuous ongoings in this household, I have to focus on two major prospects so as to ensure the risks for everyone...Lincoln, Luna, Luan, Leni...primarily Lincoln, secondarily Luan...are taken into account...should the interactions become more...penetrative."

Lisa gagged at that last part; the thought of her siblings even cuddling more than as siblings made her almost want to throw up the bit of chocolate she just ate.

"Now...in Luan's case, I need to focus my efforts on trying to isolate and negate the memories and experiences that caused her this comet of emotion and feeling she has right now...that'll take the longest...and the two weeks are going to be vital."

She jotted down in her small paperpad notebook to inquire about figuring out methods and ways to probe the actual mind with far more safety, results and ability.

"Now...regarding the possibility of offspring in this whole matter...I'm going to chose not to interfere in the ongoing activity between Luna and Lincoln...but I need to ensure that if there is...that kind of activity...their child won't be doomed...I suppose it's time for me to test out my new genetic-re-wiring nanotech."

Lisa strolled over with her laptop and placed it on the bench. She pulled out a vile of what was a test tube filled with a tiny droplet of metallic, grey looking matter, shaped like a large droplet of water with a glossy appearance.

"With a few modifications, I can implement procedure LLM7-5-7-5. As opposed to systematically trying to adjust the chromosomal structures of my fellow sister's eggs...Lincoln's gametes would be the easiest, and most permanent way to resolve the "recessive, high-risk genetic disease" hazard posed by all this incestuous activity...will try a procedure I've floated conceptually called "Male Gamete-Chromosome Modifier"...although I'll need a sample of his spermatozoa to ensure I don't irreparably damage his ability for spermatogenesis...trying to alter oogenesis would be entirely too risky due to the quantity difference between gametes produced by females compared to males...will need further research into this area immediately."

As Lisa prepped herself for an untold and accelerated period of time trying to crack two monster projects simultaneously, she gave out a week, utterly tired sigh.

"Seven years old...and I'm trying to scientifically control the wildfire I see coming from this onset of incest in the family between my only brother and several of my older sisters...I sure can't wait to use that memory eraser on myself when I'm done with this...I hope; I don't want to have to baby this situation more than I'm involving myself."
