As nighttime arrived, the Lori Clones prepared for a night full of slumber, some of the Scientist Loris left their lab, exhausted beyond belief. Lori #2, by sheer coincidence, walked by as she noticed how exhausted the scientist Loris were.
"What happened? About to finish the suits?" Lori #2 asks.
"We're about to work on them, but some of the others considered alternatives." Scientist Lori #2 sighed, but then...
Suddenly 42 Happy Loris appeared, smiling as they said, "Hug me! Play with me!"
"I...Is this the alternative?" Lori #2 asks, raising an eyebrow.
"No," Scientist Lori #49 said, handing Lori #2 jar full of yellow pills. "These will help with the Soldier Loris, for each time they lose a limb or a drop of blood, they'll multiply via mitosis."
"More Loris!" A Happy Lori popped out.
"More FUN!" All 42 Happy Loris said, smiling.
"Can we stay with you?" 2 of the Happy Loris smiled.
"Uh..." Lori #2 said, raising an eyebrow. "Actually, I think I have a group of Loris that want to be with you."
"Really?!" The Happy Loris smiled, jumping up and down with glee.
"Yeah..." Lori #2 said, grimacing awkwardly. "Follow me!"
"Oh, goody!" The Happy Loris skipped as they followed her.
"Well, maybe we can have the multiplication pills as an alternative?" Scientist Lori #49 asks. Her double rolled her eyes in exasperation.
At the Child Lori room, every single Child Lori was playing their separate games. Some were playing tic-tac-toe, checkers, others were playing hide and seek, Tag, or even with their stuffed animals. Meanwhile, some of the Younger Child Lori clones were being read to by the nerdy Lori clones, Loris #12 and 16 loved every sight of this, like parents watching their children befriend other classmates. However, they saw something that surprised them, Lori #2 and Scientist Lori arriving with some of the Happy Loris into the room, the Child Loris were getting confused.
"Why are those Loris dressed in pink?" Child Lori #12 asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, those are Happy Loris, they're very estatic and in a good mood." Lori #2 smiled as she moved one of them over. "They're playful and fun to be around."
"We sure are!" Happy Lori #1 giggled like a girl as she picked up a Child Lori, who smiled back at her. "We don't have anything to do right now, can we play with you?"
"Well, we're about to go to sleep in an hour." A Nerdy Lori said.
"We can help you sleep and read a bedtime story if you'd like!" The Happy Loris said, excitedly.
"We'd love that!" Every single Child Lori smiled.
Throughout the commotion, Loris #12, 16 and #2 walked out of the Child Lori Base, with Lori #2 confused to see what's going on with Loris #12 and 16 as Child Lori #1 and #10 followed them, smiling at them.
"You're not getting too attached to them, are you?" Lori #2 asks, confused.
"They're so adorable," Lori #12 said, smiling.
"So cuddly!" Lori #16 said, grinning.
"They're so cute and loveable. They're like our daughters!" Both Clones said simultaneously.
"Aw," Child Lori #1 & Child Lori #10 replied. "That's sweet!"
"That's disturbing, because, A) They share the same Identical DNA as you and I, and B) They're not your Daughters." Lori #2 said, annoyed.
"They can be the closest thing we'll get to having daughters, especially when we'll stay 17 forever." Lori #12 shrugged.
"Still though," Lori #2 said. "I don't know why clones have to be this close with younger clones."
"C'mon, you have to admit, it's pretty cute." Lori #16 said, grinning, before bumping into 4 Loris, and they were the Idiot Loris.
"Wait, isn't this where the Lori Bathrooms are?" Idiot Lori #91 asks. The 2 Child Loris giggled at this
"No, you were near a bunch of Child Loris at the moment, and that would've been ugly if I hadn't stopped you." Lori #2 said, annoyed as more Loris came by, looking embarrassed.
"Sorry about these Loris." Lori #1942 said, blushing.
"Yeah, they have a hard time grasping reality on this Citadel, they kept asking why isn't there any zero gravity in the Citadel! It's driving us nuts!" Lori #91485 said, irritated.
"We're so sorry about that..." Lori #19418 sighed.
"You have nothing to apologize, they don't know any better." Lori #2 laughed. Then she remembered something as she lied, "I have to go shower real quick. I'll be right back."
Then she darted away, much to the annoyance of the Scientist Lori as she skeptically said, "Oh, sure, we'll be fine with trying to find a power source."
Meanwhile, the Soldier Loris were finishing up another day of training. Tomorrow morning, they'll all be looking for the interdimensional crystals on their mission. Just think how great it might be if they find more crystals, or others like them.
"So, we're all clear on what to do?" Soldier Lori #1 said.
"Yes, ma'am!" All the Soldier Loris replied as they all headed to their bedrooms.
"Wake up at 6AM, ladies!" Soldier Lori #1 said. "Shower up, and we leave at 7AM"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"I cannot wait to see everyone's faces when," The clone was interrupted by Lori #2 darting past them. The Leading Soldier Clone stopped her by grabbing her by the shoulder, concerned. "What are you running for?"
"I just wanted to see where the Teacher Loris will be at for the learning sessions for the Younger Loris...I mean when they're produced and ready..." Lori #2 said.
"At the Northern Cloning Station." Soldier Lori #1 said, raising an eyebrow in confusion. "Why, you wanna love yourself?"
"No! I'm not into Selfcest..." Lori #2 said, incredulously as she blushed. "...I think...I meant where will the learning sessions be at?"
"At the Taber Section, where else?" 2 Soldier Loris chuckled.
"Good to know!" Lori #2 said, running.
Later on, Lori #2 managed to arrive at the same place Child Lori was early on as she looked around, only to hear some bickering in the room, she turns to see Lori #1 having to round up the emotionclones of Lori, mostly the Nervous Loris, Sad Loris and Lazy Loris, and there appears to be 42 of each of them.
"Thanks for all your help!" Lori #1 said, annoyed and sarcastic.
"Oh, sorry about that." Lori #2 said, nervously.
"Oh..." Two Nervous Loris said. "You're not going to hurt us are you?"
"I wouldn't blame her." Sad Lori #91 said, bowing her head as her lip quivers.
"We're worthless!" Sad Lori #41 sobbed.
"See what I've had to deal with all day?!" Lori #1 said, frustrated.
"Sorry, I got sidetracked!" Lori #2 lied, blushing.
"Well, can you please help me out here?! I've gotten most of the Lori Emotionclones to their places, I need help finding the other ones. Especially the ones with an anger problem." Lori #1 said.
"Sure, I can help..." Lori #2 replied, nodding. "But can I check one thing before I do?"
Annoyed, Lori #1 grabbed Lori #2 by the collar as she was dragged out of the room, with the other Loris following them.
"You're not going anywhere, young lady!" Lori #1 said, sternly. "I am not doing this alone!"
"Lori, I'd love to, but I already know where some Happy Loris are at, some of them are with the Child Loris." Lori #2 said. "They seemed to be okay with it."
"You let them stay with the Younger Loris?" Lori #1 asks, confused. "They shouldn't be doing that!"
"I thought it was adorable!" Lori #2 shrugged.
"Loris are supposed to sleep with others as the same age as they are!" Lori #1 said, irritated. "Doesn't that give you a creeped out vibe?"
"No?" Lori #2 asks. "I agree they shouldn't get too close to each other, but let them have their own fun for now."
"As long as they don't get hurt, right?" Each Nervous Lori said, shaking with fear.
"Of course, no one has to get hurt!" Lori #2 said, incredulously.
"You didn't have to yell at us!" Each Sad Lori sobbed.
"See what I have to put up with?! I've already had Clone #9283 and Clone #49532 go find some other Loris. They've already got some brave Loris under control, as well as the Lazy Loris. You think you can help me find other Lori Clones?"
"Alright, I'll see what I can do..." Lori #2 sighed. Suddenly, a few of the Lori Clones she met earlier was outside waiting for her and the Emotionclones to take their leave. She knew what this meant, it's time to take a peek at the schooling schedule! "Let's start off by looking in the cafeteria, can you get those girls to their rooms, I'll round up the rest."
"Fair enough," Lori #1 said, walking out with her group of Emotionclones as Lori #2949 walked into the education room, Lori #1 walked away without noticing.
Lori #2949 looked around for the schedule, but all she found were math books, history books, and education tools, curious, she took her contactor and saw a USB Port for contactors near the Screen. She grins as she plugs in her Contactor, which says, "Connecting..."
Lori #2949 could sit and wait for a while. But she has to make sure that she doesn't fall asleep.
Meanwhile, at the Child Lori Room, all 42 Happy Loris were tucking in the tired Child Loris in their separate beds. One of the Happy Loris were confused as she asks, "Where are the books?"
"You couldn't find them anywhere?" Happy Lori #193 asks, curious.
"I guess not." Happy Lori #4287 giggled. "But it's alright, we can always read you a story later on this week!"
"Are you sure?" Child Lori #29 asks.
"Yeah, try to get some shut-eye, kiddies!" Happy Lori #13 smiled as they left the room.
Some of the Child Loris were quickly falling asleep, but then, they noticed something, where's Child Lori #1 and #10?
"Two Lori Clones are missing!" Child Lori #36 said, concerned.
"Well, I did hear a whispering," Child Lori #19 said, raising an eyebrow. "They couldn't sleep last night. They must've slept in the room of an older Lori."
"Their beds are empty..." Child Lori #36 shrugged.
"I heard from Lori #12 that they went to sleep in their room!" Child Lori #2 said. "What's wrong with sleeping in our rooms?"
"Yeah," The Other Loris chattered in agreement. Suddenly, they were interrupted by a screeching sound, the floor being scratched by the bed that was being moved closer to another empty bed. Then, Child Lori #36 jumped into the bed and took both blankets and came close to sleeping.
"Lori!" All the Child Lori clones scolded Child Lori #36.
"What?" Child Lori #36 said. "We're all thinking it!"
"Just you!" Child Lori #2 said. "Let's just think about it on Breakfast. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed."
Child Lori #2 went straight to sleep, but her doubles yanked her out of bed, rudely, much to her surprise as they said, "But what will Child Clones 1 and 10 think of this when they see this?!"
"We'll figure it out soon enough, right?" Child Lori #2 said, nonchalantly. "I mean it could be a whole lot worse."
This may take all night...
