Hi everyone, and welcome to chapter 8. I'd like to say that I have realised the big difference between the first Art or Vandal story and the sequel to it. The difference was in the first story, I had basically taken episodes from the Loud House and changed their outcome while also having them in line with the main point of the fanfiction. Whilst in the second one, I haven't done much with the episodes, so as of reading back on chapter 7, where I took the "Hand-Me-Downer" episode, and obviously changed more than the outcome of it. I found that much more fun, and I think I should stick with how I was writing them for the first story, for the sequel too. But enough of me talking, have fun reading what I've put together and I will see ya at the end.
PS. the episode "One flu over the Loud House" will be used in this chapter and instead of it being the flu, I'm gonna change it to something much worse, from my own experience (it's not a fun experience) so it's basically like another situation like the episode. The name of the episode doesn't belong to me, it belongs to nickelodeon.
Lincoln felt his eye lids rise, full of sleep. Lincoln yawned and stretched his arms out; he rubbed his eyes.
"Ahhh, Saturday" He said.
A few days had passed now, so Lincoln was able to relax for the whole weekend...that's if he can.
Lincoln did notice however it was kinda quiet, maybe he was the first one to be up. He looked at his alarm clock beside him
"10:00am" it read.
"Wait?" Lincoln said in surprise.
He then looked at his calendar and saw he was right, today is Saturday.
"How come it's this quiet?" He asked himself.
Lincoln got himself out of bed and changed into his clothes. He then opened his door and saw it was kinda dark and some of his sister's doors were open.
"Uhm, guys?" He asked to see if anyone would respond.
Nothing.
"Luan if this is another one of your pranks, it's a Saturday, I'm not in the mood" He yelled out.
Still no reply.
Lincoln walked out his room and heard a groan coming from the twin's room.
"Lola? Lana?" He called out.
They of course came out...looking like zombies almost.
"Uhhh" Lincoln said stepping away from them.
He stepped back more until he felt like he backed up into a wall. He saw it was Lori.
"Lori, I think-" Lincoln however cut himself off from seeing Lori was looking the same as them.
"Oh, you too?" He asked as he stepped back away from her too.
Lincoln was however stuck in the middle of the twins, Lori and even Lynn was behind Lori looking ill too.
Lincoln found himself getting surrounded by his four sisters. Lincoln closed his eyes as his sisters were getting closer, until he fell back and was pulled in further, Lincoln saw his sisters get closer until the door was shut and locked.
Lincoln looked up and found he was surrounded by the rest of his sisters, minus Lilly.
"What's going on?" He asked them.
"He looks okay" Luna said. "But we better check him"
Leni then checked his temperature.
"986 degrees" Leni read his temperature. "He's good"
Lincoln sat up seeing everyone else was okay.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?" He asked them.
"Our house has became infested with a contagious virus" Lisa informed him.
"With what?" He asked her.
"The norovirus" She said fixing her glasses.
"The what?" Lincoln said as he never heard of it before.
"The norovirus is an infection that can cause the person infected with severe vomiting and um" She said clearing her throat "Back end troubles" She said referring to diarrhea.
"Ewww" Leni was in disgust after hearing that.
"So, is there a cure?" Lincoln asked his genius sister.
"Unfortunately for them, all they could do is wait it out for a couple days" Lisa informed her brother and sisters.
"A couple days? Are you joking" Lincoln asked her.
"I don't joke Lincoln" She said.
"Well how did it even start?" He asked.
His sisters started to explain from what they saw.
Flashback last night
Last night Lori was out with Bobby on date night, they were at a sushi restaurant that had opened up in Royal Woods. Lori had ordered a normal plate of sushi and a side salad while Bobby had just ordered grilled chicken and rice.
As Lori was enjoying her meal and chatting to Bobby, she could tell that the sushi kind of tasted a bit funny, she ignored it and continued eating her food.
After the couple had their dinner together, Lori started to feel her stomach acting up a bit. She told Bobby that she wasn't feeling too good, so Bobby told her maybe she should head home if she's feeling a bit sick. Lori took her boyfriend's advice and had him take her home.
Lori then walked through the door and saw her family minus Lincoln and a couple others.
"Lori?" Rita noticed her daughter looking under the weather. "Are you feeling okay?" She asked her.
"Yeah, my stomach is just acting up a bit" She said as she looked pale in the face.
"Alright, well head up to bed and I'll check on you in a minute" The mother said.
Lori headed up the stairs, once she was up Lynn got up.
"I'm gonna grab her a glass of water" She said as she left to go into the kitchen.
"That's good of junior" Their father said.
"We can make sure she's in bed" The twins said in unison to their parents.
"Okay girls" Rita chuckled seeing her daughters want to make sure their big sister is okay.
Lynn got Lori her water and her and the twins headed upstairs. They knocked on the door and walked in to see Lori had already changed into her pyjamas and was now getting into bed.
"Got you some water sis" Lynn said as she set it down on her nightstand.
"Thanks" Lori said.
"Need us to get you anything?" Lana asked her.
"Maybe an extra blanket and another pillow" Lori asked them politely.
"Okay!" The twins said in unison again.
They rushed off to get Lori her requested items.
Lynn checked Lori's temperature by pressing her hand against her head.
"Yeah you're feeling warm" Lynn said.
"Thanks for the reminder" Lori said chuckling.
Lynn chuckled as well while stupidly rubbing her hands together to get Lori's sweat off her.
The twins then came in with an extra blanket and a pillow. Lynn took the pillow and moved it behind Lori's head, the twins got the blanket out and threw it over Lori's body.
"Thanks guys" Lori thanked her younger sisters.
"No problem sis, sleep now and hopefully you'll be better in the morning" Lynn said before walking out the room with the twins.
They closed the door and headed downstairs to re-join their family.
"Where'd you guys get the extra pillow by the way?" Lynn asked them.
The twins grinned at each other and looked up at Lynn.
"We might've persuaded Linky" Lola said.
Lynn chuckled "You guys could rob at bank when you're older" Lynn said as she ruffled the twin's hair.
They joined their family and continued watching the show they were watching, that show being dream boat of course.
Present
"They said they needed my pillow to help them build a fortress?" Lincoln said.
"Yeah well, you got robbed out of a pillow dude" Luna said laughing.
"So, what do we do until the virus clears up?" Lincoln asked his remaining siblings.
"All we can do is wait it out" Lisa said.
"Well? Can you at least tell me how were gonna get food and water?" He asked her.
"That! I have already figured out" Lisa said as she pointed to a hazmat suit.
"Yeah, I was gonna ask, where did you get the outfit?" Leni asked pointing at it.
"It's not an outfit Leni" Lisa corrected her. "It's a hazmat suit designed for scientists when handling dangerous chemicals so they don't inhale or have contact with their skin" Lisa explained and everyone seemed to pick up on it, Leni almost understood everything she said.
"Unfortunately, for some reason, it's size is to fit Lincoln" Lisa said.
Everyone looked at their brother.
"Dang it"
5 minutes later
Lincoln was now inside the hazmat suit and ready to leave the room with a list of what everyone needed him to bring up.
"Make sure to get the pudding cups, I could really use one right now" Luna said patting her stomach.
"Good luck Linky" Leni said pulling her brother into a tight hug.
"T-t-thanks Leni" Lincoln said as he was gasping for air.
"Leni let go of Lincoln making him take deep breaths" Luan said, which made her let go of her brother.
"Think you can check on mom and dad too?" Lucy asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, sure" Lincoln agreed to another request.
The sisters backed away from the door, leaving Lincoln in front of it.
"Good luck" They all said at different times.
"In this house we could always use it" Lincoln mumbled.
He opened the door and quickly shut it after stepping out. He saw that the girls weren't outside the room anymore. Lincoln didn't know what to think about where they were, but he took this opportunity to get down to the kitchen, grab the stuff and get the hell back up to the room. Lincoln quickly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, he grabbed a reusable bag they had and off by memory, started getting the things they needed.
He went into the cupboards and the fridge and started to load the bag up. Once he got what everyone wanted, he got out and headed back upstairs, not before realising.
"Oh...Lucy wanted me to check on mom and dad"
Lincoln decided to drop the bag off near the bedroom door, he knocked on it and headed back downstairs to their parents' room. Lincoln knocked on the door and tried the doorknob, however it was locked.
"Mom? Dad? Its Lincoln" He said.
He heard the door unlock and decided to open the door and step inside. Lincoln saw his dad was sitting on the bed reading and his mom was of course standing in front of him as she was the one who unlocked the door for him.
"Lincoln?" Lynn Sr said as he closed his book and got off the bed.
"Are you okay?" He asked his parents.
"Yeah were okay" Rita said. "Lynn, Lola and Lana got what Lori's got"
"Yeah, I know, me and the rest are huddled in Lisa and Lilly's room" He said.
Until he realised. "Wait, where is Lilly?"
Rita pointed to the side of Lynn Sr; she was sleeping cutely on their bed.
"Oh" Lincoln sighed in relief as he didn't see her. "Anyway, you guys need anything from the kitchen?" He asked them.
"No, were okay Lincoln" Rita said.
"Okay, stay safe" He said as he left his parents' bedroom.
Lincoln headed back upstairs and made it back to the bedroom. He knocked on the door a few times before the door opened and he can enter.
"Lincoln! You made it" Leni said with excitement seeing her brother was okay.
"Yeah" He said before taking off the hazmat suit. "I checked on mom and dad, they doing fine" He let everyone know.
"Good" They all said.
Luan and Luna were going through the bag Lincoln had put the stuff in.
Luna was searching pretty deep in the bag, until her eyes lit up as she spotted something.
"Jackpot dude's!" She said pulling out a pudding cup.
Lincoln chuckled seeing that's all Luna was hoping to get.
"I forgot to get spoons, so I don't know...if" Lincoln saw Luna opening the cup and using her finger to scoop out the pudding.
"Or you could just do that" He said laughing a bit, along with the rest of his sisters laughing too.
Everything seemed to settle down now, everyone got what they needed from the kitchen. But Lincoln could tell something was missing.
"Hey do you have a game or something for us to play Lisa?" Leni asked her. "It's a bit boring in here"
"I'm afraid I do not provide any entertainment" Lisa said as she was typing into her laptop on her bed. "Unless you want to read those science books" She said pointing to her book collection, which of course is boring to everyone in the room.
"Well..." Leni said as looked at Lincoln.
"What?" Lincoln asked her.
"Do you think you can go back out and grab a board game or something?" She asked him nicely.
"Leni..." Lincoln was wanting to deny the request, until Leni gave him the puppy dog eyes.
"Alright fine" He sighed as he got up and got himself back into the sticking suit.
Leni perked up "Thanks Linky" She said smiling.
Before Lincoln opened the door, he turned around to face his remaining sisters.
"Anyone need anything else?" He asked them all.
"Could you grab my laptop and guitar?" Luna asked while scraping out the pudding with her finger.
"Or how about a spoon?" He mumbled.
"Can you get Mr coconuts and my recorder? I might want to leave some good jokes during all this" Luan said as she was using her sock as a puppet and writing her jokes on it with a sharpie.
"Uh huh" Lincoln nodded as he took the mental shopping list for them.
"I'm alright for now brother" Lisa said.
"Can you get my poem book for me?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah" He said.
This made Lucy smile...I think?
"Thanks Lincoln" She said.
"I shouldn't have asked what everyone else needed" He mumbled to himself.
Lincoln then left the room, this time it was just the twins in the hallway.
"Hey guys?" Lincoln said giving them a wave.
They didn't pay much attention to him. Lincoln headed to Luna and Luan's room to get the things they requested. He opened their door and walked in, he grabbed Luna's laptop and charger. He was about to grab her guitar...if he knew which one, she wanted.
"Uhm" Lincoln was stuck between an acoustic one, or an electric one. He decided to go for the acoustic since the electric would mean he'd have to grab the amplifier too. He then grabbed Luan's puppet which was on her bed and her recorder which he found under her pillow conveniently.
He walked out and dropped the stuff off outside the door, Lincoln then moved to Lucy and Lynn's room. He saw Lynn was sleeping in her bed, knocked out cold. Lincoln saw Lucy's book on her nightstand, he grabbed that and got out the room fast.
This feels like I'm writing for a dead island script
Lincoln threw her book onto the pile and headed downstairs for a game Leni wanted, Lincoln searched until he eventually found the "snakes and ladders" board game. He took that and walked up the stairs to "safe room". Lincoln knocked on the door a few times, Leni opened the door allowing Lincoln to push all the stuff piled into the room.
"Awesome dude" Luna said as she walked up the pile and grabbed her laptop and guitar. "Meh, it's not electric but it's good enough"
Luan then got her puppet and recorder. "Nice!" She said.
Lincoln didn't like the idea of having to hear her jokes even more now since she had her recorder. Lucy got her book without saying anything and sat in her corner with her pencil.
"What board game did you get Linky?" Leni asked him.
Lincoln was getting out of his hazmat suit. "I think I grabbed snakes and ladders?" He said as he wasn't 100% sure what he grabbed.
"Oh, it is! I love this game" She said with joy, which Lincoln was happy to see.
"You guys want to play?" Leni asked her sisters.
Everyone looked at each other.
"I'm fine doing my own thing" Lisa said.
"Sure dude" Luna said as she sat with Lincoln and Leni.
"I guess since Lynn isn't here, we can actually have fun" Luan said joining.
Her comment made them chuckle a bit.
Lincoln turned to Lucy who was still sat in the corner. "You in Luce?" He asked her.
"Sure" She said as she got up from the corner and joined them in the circle.
"Alright" He said turning back to the game which Leni had already gotten the board out.
"Haven't played this game for a few years" Luna said.
"If Lynn was here, she would've said 'well prepare to have your butt kicked'" Lincoln said.
The comment made Leni and Luna laugh. "Let's play then!" Leni said as she was excited to enjoy playing the game with her brother and sisters, minus Lilly and Lisa.
3 rounds later
The kids were having fun playing their game, sure it might've been a plain old boring game of snakes and ladders. But they had fun playing it together, after having spending some quality time together and even having fun while playing a game together, they decided that they had enough.
"Who won?" Lincoln asked them.
They all looked at each other.
"Leni did" Lisa said in the background.
Everyone clapped for Leni's win, which made her blush slightly.
"Aww come on guys, I was just happy to have fun" She said.
"Guess we never realised how much fun we could have without making it competitive" Lincoln said.
"Hey dudes? What if we decided to bring back sibling game night?" Luna suggested the idea.
"Depending if Lynn can have fun instead of trying to make it competitive" Luan said.
They all nodded at the comment.
"Remember when LJ made everything competitive when we got her to lose?" Luna reminded everyone.
"Yeah" They said in unison.
"Sigh, remember how she turned everything INTO a competition?" Lucy said.
Everyone remembers when after they got her to lose the settlers of cat-land game, she made everything they did daily, a competition.
"She said she could chug a carton of milk faster than me" Lincoln said.
"She raced me to the stairs" Leni said.
"She made an explosion faster than me" Lisa said "which wasn't what I was trying to do"
"Even though it's your common result?" Lincoln said with a giggle.
"She washed dishes faster than me" Lucy said.
"Yeah, it's safe to say that were glad we told her we were tired of her gloating, AFTER having to go through that nightmare" Lisa said after closing her laptop and joining her siblings in on the conversation.
"Yeah but she still gloats about her winning after she said she'll try to stop" Leni said.
"True, but maybe we should try and give it another shot, and if she wins and gloats too much, we can just tell her to stop" Lincoln suggested.
"Is man with a plan back again?" Luna said laughing.
"Shut it" Lincoln said laughing too.
Lincoln turned to you.
"Guess we have a new chapter idea"
"Who are you talking to Linky?" Leni asked her brother.
"No one" He turned back to his sisters.
"I just realised its dark out, that means Lori, the twins and Lynn should be in bed by now" Lisa said to everyone.
"But if you guys went out there without hazmat suits, that means you could probably catch the virus" Lincoln said.
Lisa gave him a slight grin.
"Actually" She said before pulling out four more hazmat suits, all the sizes to basically fit Lucy, Leni, Luna and Luan!
This made Lincoln slightly mad.
"Are you telling me! You had them the whole time!" Lincoln yelling out of annoyance.
"I figured that when we needed stuff, we could have you get them instead of us having to go out and downstairs to get them" Lisa said.
"Smart girl Lisa" Luna said.
"Don't remind me" Lisa said as she fixed her glasses with a smile.
"I hate you" Lincoln said which made his sisters laugh, of course it was intended to make them laugh.
Everyone got into their hazmat suits and exited Lisa's room to head to their rooms.
"Sleep well guys" Lincoln said as he walked to his room.
Lincoln entered his room and took the suit off and left it on the floor. He changed into his pyjamas and pulled out a toothbrush and toothpaste. He was about to brush his teeth before turning to the viewers.
"I always keep a spare when I'm not able to brush my teeth in the bathroom" He said as he began to brush his teeth. After that he spat into his trash can and wiped the paste off his toothbrush, using a small towel he kept in his dresser.
Lincoln turned off his light and jumped into bed, at least he and his remaining sisters were able to go through the day without catching the virus the other sisters has.
That took longer than expected to write. Hope you all enjoyed the chapter and the next chapter idea that hopefully you were able to see. For those of you who have NO IDEA what the norovirus is even though it was briefly explained, the norovirus is THE worst thing you can ever catch! I caught it after having some fish that was contaminated with the virus. I sadly passed it onto my family (FYI, the virus can be spread by contact with anyone who has it, that's why I got Lynn, Lola and Lana to check on Lori). I am now sadly put off fish since after googling about it, people can actually die from it if they're an infant or elderly, luckily, I'm 16 but it was still scary to know people can die from the virus. After having the fish, I felt my stomach act up and I immediately went to bed because I could tell instantly if I'm feeling sick. I went to bed and after a couple hours, I woke up and immediately went for the bathroom where I threw up (I actually threw up twice in my hallway right after I got out of my room) but OH NO it didn't stop there! During the entire night, I threw up at least 6 times, it was the most worst feeling I could ever have had. All this happened this year of 2020, right before I got back to school after winter break. I was off school for an entire week and during the week, I was totally drained, I felt weak and my entire body felt like I had emptied my organs. Sorry to have brought that up, but it really was the worst feeling and in case you haven't experienced it, now you know what it's like. But anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter and as always, If you are wanting to submit chapter ideas or one-shot idea's, please message me on here on through my discord tag *-𝕊𝕟𝕠𝕨-*#9422 But with that being said, I hope you all are staying safe and doing well, please stay tuned for more chapters like this and I will see you in the next one, peace.
