While Lori #2 and Scientist Lori have to talk to the New batch of Lori Clones, the Young Lori Clones were in their base, playing with one another. Lori #12 watching this with Lori #16 with a heartwarmed smile.
Lori #12 said as she held a Child Lori in her arms, "Aren't they adorable?"
Lori #16 said, "I suppose so. Shouldn't we check on the other Citadel Loris?"
Young Lori replied, "There's other Loris too? Are they like you guys?"
"Yes, they are." Lori #12 said. "Would you like to meet them?"
"But I thought we had to stay here!" Some of the Lori kids said, concerned.
"I won't be long." Child Lori said, assuringly. "I just want to know a few Loris."
"Why?" Lori #12 jokingly. "We all have something in common!"
The 12th copy got up and carried her young counterpart out of the room.
Child Lori #21 saw two Nerdy Loris looking through the ball pit, looking for something as she asks, "What are you looking for?"
"Our glasses!" The two nerdy child clones said, wary that they might've lost their glasses.
"I can help." Child Lori #21 replied as she jumped into the ball pit. As she went through it, she started to notice something, she felt something in her hands. Is it the glasses?
No, it was a Teddy Bear.
"So that's where I lost Mr. Fluffy-Fluff!" A Child Lori said, relieved.
"Well, what are you waiting for? we have to look for these glasses." Child Lori #21 said.
"Wait, should we jump in?" A child Lori asks, curiously. "We did spend a few minutes in there."
"They need help, aren't you going to join in or what?" Child Lori #21 replied.
After moments of just looking at each other, the rest of the Lori child clones jump in and help with looking for the glasses. Lori #16 felt her heart warm. It felt like a happy, glowing beam of hope inside her, and looking back on Lori #2's concerns, maybe she had a right to be worried.
At the Domed District, The newest Lori Clones were getting dressed, but they were frustrated with the way their uniforms looked, commenting on how it looked generic and bland.
"Do we really need these outfits? It's really bland! Where's our clothes?" Domed District Lori #19 asks.
"These are your clothes." Lori #2 said. "So quit your whining and get dressed so we get you ready for the citadel."
A Domed District Lori was tapping his foot in frustration and impatience as Lori #2 asks.
"Where's my phone?" The clone asks.
"You don't have it here with you, we have something even better." Lori #2 said.
"Seriously?" Four clones said, annoyed as they crossed their arms in frustration.
"Well, at least Clyde isn't here." Domed District Lori #912 sighed in relief.
"Who's Clyde?" Lori #2 asks.
"You don't want to know." Domed District Lori #9 said, disgusted.
"As soon as some of the copies are dressed, I'll need them to report to their bases." Lori #2 said.
"Wait, we have to see some of the other Lori clones." A Domed District Lori said. The others chattered in agreement.
"We'll get to that as soon as possible!" Lori #2 said, getting frustrated.
"In fact, who even made you in charge?" 2 Domed District Loris said, sternly.
"Look, another Lori pointed me in charge of you guys." Lori #2 said, getting annoyed. "Now get Dressed."
Lori #2 walked over to Scientist Lori as she said, "See how they are?!"
The Scientist copy replied, "It's hard not to."
"With this in mind, I can't keep Younger Loris from seeing this." Lori #2 said.
"Why not? I understand they'll get irritated. But they'll grow accustom to them."
"How? Once they see their nature..."
"Who's nature?!" Domed District Loris said, sternly as they took offense.
"I didn't mean it like that." Lori #2 said, flinching as she rolled her eyes. Then she continued to talk to the scientist as she said, "Those girls need to keep theirselves in a good light I don't want the Youngest Lori clones to lose confidence in theirselves seeing the brat that Lori is."
"Who are you calling a brat?!" Domed District Loris said, sternly as they took offense.
"I didn't mean that in a bad way, I just want to keep the Younger Loris spirits high in way that..." Lori #2 said, sternly.
"As in Lying?" Lori #12 said, holding a Child Lori as she walked in. "You may want to reconsider as soon as you see the other Lori clones."
"What are you doing here?" Lori #2 said, concerned. "And why is she with you?"
"She's meeting other Loris." Lori #12 replied as she set the Child clone down, as the kid walked towards the newest batch of clones.
The Domed district Lori clones were confused by what they saw, but it was nice to see the Young Counterpart.
"Hi," Child Lori said, happily. "I'm a Lori clone, too! Why are you all the way out here in the Citadel?"
"Aw," Domed District Loris said, smiling.
"Well, we're about to find out why we're at this Citadel soon enough." Domed District Lori #30 said, patting the child and tussling with her hair. Worried, Lori #2 gently drags the child back to her conversation.
"What are you Doing?!" Lori #12 said, shocked and angered.
"Look, I'll let them know when they're ready to meet these clones." Lori #2 said.
"You really need to calm down." Child Lori said, getting annoyed. "They're Loris like You and me, aren't they?"
"These Lori clones contain memories of the Original Lori." Scientist Lori said, adjusting her glasses. "So that way, they can share stories of what Lori did back on Earth before the Pandemic."
Some of the Domed District Loris shuddered in disgust.
"What Pandemic?" Child Lori asks, curious and worried.
"Covid-19." Scientist Lori said, wistfully. "But for what it's worth, Lori still has her family back on Earth to help her get through the Pandemic."
"Well, that's okay...I guess." Child Lori said, worried. Then she asked, "What kind of Lori are you anyway?"
"A scientist Lori." The scientist copy said, grinning. "Would you like to meet the other Scientist Loris?"
"Are they busy? I really don't want to bother them at this moment." Child Lori said, curious.
"We're creating an inter-dimensional scanner, which means there will be more Lori clones based on Loris from different Dimensions, such as a Mermaid Lori for example." Scientist Lori said, crouching near the child clone. "That, and we're working on Citadel Communicator to talk to other Citadels."
"There's going to be more Loris?!" Child Lori said, excitedly as her hands shook in delight.
"50.82 percent correct, but there will Citadels of other Louds, such as Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn and..." Scientist Lori said. "...Well, you should get the idea, and it's not just the Loud Kids, some of their friends may or may not be involved. So you can make more friends than just be friends with more Loris."
"Wait, there's going to be more of our Siblings?" A Domed District Lori said, concerned. "Is it April first?"
"No, the current date is March 24th, 2020." Scientist Lori said. "So you have nothing to worry about in terms of that date. At least for another few days."
The Domed District Loris sighed in relief.
"Why are you so worried about April 1st?" Child Lori asks, laughing.
"We'll worry about that later." Scientist Lori said as Lori #12 and Child Lori walked out of the domed district to meet and greet other Lori clones. "For now, I'm sure all of you would like to be in your bedrooms, right?"
"YES!" All of the Domed District Loris shouted, impatiently.
"Follow us." Scientist Lori said.
Child Lori was in awe of what she saw, Loris everywhere, she saw Loris socializing with each other, setting up the technology, playing with each other or joking with each other.
"You like what you see?" Lori #12 said. "Loris socialize with each other, befriend one another and go about their daily lives."
"Will the other Domed District Loris visit other Loris?" Child Lori asks.
"Depends on the timing." Lori #12 said. "As long as Soldier Loris aren't too busy with their resource missions, sure. We'll rarely be available because we'll be working with our science projects. As for other Loris, they'll be babysitting you kids."
"Cool!" Child Lori said. "What type of Loris will we have in our rooms?"
"Well, next would be Child Loris that range from the ages of 5 years old, 11 years old and 4 years old." Lori #12 said, checking her contactor as she looked at the hologram for duplication process. And she's right.
"That must be very exciting!" Child Lori smiled. Then she got confused as she asks, "Where are we going?"
"To where you'll learn how to be a Lori like all of us in a couple of days." Lori #12 said.
"Why can't we do that back home?"
"We're on the Citadel, not Planet Earth, silly."
The two giggled before tripping over two Loris who are out on a walk with one another.
"Oh, sorry about that." Lori #12 said. "We're just looking for the School for Loris."
"It's over in the Taber Sector." The two walking Loris said.
"Thank you." Lori #12 said.
"Wait, the Taber Sector?" Child Lori asks.
"I didn't come up with the name." Lori #12 said, rolling her eyes.
"It's seems catchy on your tongue." Child Lori giggled.
Back at the Child Lori room, the child Loris struggled to look for the pair of glasses as all they found were retainers (Eww.), more plush animals, and a Ventriloquist Dummy named "Mr. Coconuts".
"Nothing yet." Nerdy Lori #19 said, shrugging as Nerdy Lori #32 shook her head.
"It's gotta be down there somewhere." Child Lori #21 said.
"Why haven't we checked the bedrooms?" Child Lori #100 asks.
"None of us have been in there yet, 100." Child Lori #200 said, glaring at her in annoyance.
"Well...I might've." Nerdy Lori #1 said, rubbing her arm.
"Did you put our glasses there?!" The two nerdy child clones said, stunned.
"I might've."
"Well, let's check it out!" Two Child Loris said.
"You know, I could check it out so you don't have to waste your time." Lori #16 said, bored out of her mind as she entered a room. "Why don't you go back to playing with each other?"
"Good Idea!" The Child Loris and Nerdy Loris replied as they went back to playing tag, while the two Nerdy Loris without glasses fallowed Lori #16.
"Lori? Are you really gonna find my glasses?" The two nerds ask.
"I haven't been entirely truthful with you..." Lori #16 said, grabbing her contactor and calling someone. "I'm going to get you contact lenses in the meantime."
"But our glasses?"
"We'll find them, just need a backup for now."
"You know, I never bothered to ask," One of the Nerdy Loris asked, rubbing her chin in thought. "What was the original Lori like?"
"Well, you'll learn about her soon enough. It's really for us Older Loris to know and you to find out." Lori #16 replied, patting her double's head while smiling. "I'm sure you might find something that you'll like about Lori."
"Like what?" A child Lori asks, curious.
"Well, how she's able to help her sisters and brother, especially a baby named, "Lily"!"
"A baby?" The Child Lori squeals with delight.
"Yeah, a baby."
"Lori seems like a real sweet person. I really wish we could meet her one day."
"Maybe one day. Someday, but not today."
Lori #16 could only think what would Lori, the Original Lori think of all this, would she be honored to hear these things, or even more creeped out?
