All right, I think it's time this story got updated with this next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!

It was about three days after Lana had recently discovered her brand new favorite show, Y-Men Beyond. In fact, she became so desperate in watching the show, she would actively beg for anyone to spend their two hours just to get the show watched, but she got rebuffed. Lana wasn't thrilled that she wasn't getting her way, so she had to resort to online research and videos on Lori's phone just so she could catch the show.

Unfortunately, the day that Lana had a hold of Lori's phone was also the day Lori was having her period, so... she was less than thrilled.

"Lana. Phone. Hand over. Now. Before. I. Blow. A. Gasket."

Needless to say, Lana was disappointed. Lana sighed as she walked out of her and Leni's room and leaned over towards Lincoln's door, giving a sigh. As if on cue, Lincoln was opening the door as he saw Lana leaning towards it. "Lana, I can't get out the door when you're leaning on it."

"Sorry." Lana said as she moved out of the way as Lincoln opened the door. "Is it all right if I ask you a question, Lincoln?"

"Shoot." Lincoln raised an eyebrow.

"Well... as you know, for the past three days, I have been watching a show called 'Y-Men Beyond', and I can't get enough of this show! It's very funny and hilarious for a superhero cartoon! Why would it get such crummy ratings?" Lana asked as she sat down.

Lincoln paused as he motioned Lana over to his room. Lana followed as Lincoln sat down on his bed, Lana sitting beside him. Lincoln leaned over and put a hand on his little sister's shoulder as he tried to explain, "For one thing, the show isn't that funny. It's not even good, it's obnoxious and annoying. If it were a good superhero show, with good comedy and very, VERY serious moments, I would probably take it seriously as a show, but as it is, no."

Lana paused. "Oh. And the other thing?"

"...nobody really watches that show." Lincoln said.

"Oh." Lana said as she looked over to Lincoln. "My next question is..."

"I thought it was just the one question?" Lincoln raised an eyebrow.

"This is the Daily Double." Lana frowned. "What happens to a show when the ratings get bad?"

"Naturally... it gets cancelled." Lincoln said.

Lana merely choked a bit as she sputtered, "C-c-c-cancelled? As in, Y-Men Beyond will be no more? As in... R.I.P. Y-Men Beyond? As in, I'm not going to see this show on TV ever again?"

"Maybe it'll air again somewhere in syndication, but we can only hope." Lincoln said. "Anyway, if that's all..."

"Final Jeopardy question..." Lana said before Lincoln could get up. Lana paused to think... then nodded. "Okay, so if Y-Men Beyond has bad ratings, it would be cancelled, right? BUT... if more people watched the show, would the ratings go up?"

Lincoln paused... before finding his answer. "Yes, but it would take a mere miracle. Now, if there are no more questions..."

"No, I'm done. Thank you, Lincoln." Lana said as she got up from Lincoln's bed and out of his room as Lincoln shut the door. Lana looked down as she gave a sigh... before noticing Lisa working on chemicals in her room. Lana's eyes widened as she paused to think.

Inside, Lisa was busy being careful trying to put one drop inside her beaker as Lana carefully snuck over. Lana leaned towards Lisa's ear as she opened her mouth. "Hi..."

Lisa yelped as she inadvertently mixed up the chemicals, causing them to shoot a hole through the roof. Lisa gave a frowned as she turned towards the smiling Lana. "Subject Twin number one... you currently have two missing teeth. Would you like to try for five missing teeth?"

"You know, I could use the money from the Tooth Fairy..." Lana paused... then shook her head. "Actually, I came over to ask a favor. I want you to find a way to rig the Nielsen Box ratings to make Y-Men Beyond number one everywhere."

"Why would I ever find interest in doing so?" Lisa frowned as she turned around, pulling out a cloth to clean up the mess the chemicals had caused on the table..

Lana gave a smirk. "Have you ever been so curious as to what's inside that box? The multiple wires, the metal inside..."

Lisa stopped short as she paused to think. Lana smirked as Lisa's eyes were starting to widen at the idea. "Figuring out how a small box can keep track of what we watch... doesn't it bug you? Doesn't your scientific mind want to know the possibilities on how the box can work?"

Lisa shut her eyes, trying to resist. "Yes, I'm curious about that box, but I know better, I'm a smart scientist, I have a PHd, I..."

"...am four years old and still can't resist... this." Lana said, pulling out a bag of candy.

Lisa's eyes widened as Lana shook the bag in front of her face. Lisa groaned as she said, "Curse my four year old body and the odd desire for want of sweets! And curse my curious mind! Grr... all right, fine. What do you want me to do?"

"I can't believe I'm about to do this..." Lisa whispered as she and Lana were carefully sneaking downstairs towards the TV, everybody was now in bed, asleep, no cares in the world.

"There's the box." Lana said as she pointed to the box on top of the TV.

Lisa gave a nod as she went to the kitchen and pulled a chair, but yelped upon seeing that it made some noise. Lisa frowned as she looked upstairs, then towards the other room, where their parents were sleeping. The young scientist girl sighed in relief as she pulled out four rubber nubs and started to put them on the steps of the chair. Feeling more secure, the bespectacled girl nodded as she motioned over to Lana. The older-by-two-years girl nodded as she came over and helped with the chair, getting it near the TV.

As soon as Lana lifted Lisa up towards the chair, Lisa started to climb up as she secured the box. As she was about to lift it, she noticed that there were wires connected to where the TV is. After a slight moment, Lisa started to pull the cables off carefully as she laid them on top of the TV, indicating to take them out later.

Lisa gave a smirk as she lifted the box in triumph. Lana gave a happy smile as she pulled out a screwdriver.

"All right, I'll take it apart, and you study the scientifics. Once we do that, we'll see if we can rig the ratings!" Lana smiled.

"This, my dear sibling, is going to be a most curious, yet interesting experience." Lisa returned the smile back as Lana started to take apart the box.

Lana gave a nod. Hopefully, her plan would work.
