I do not own anything in these stories. All rights go to the creator Chris Savino and the current showrunner, Michael Rubiner. Lola and Lana are now seven years old starting with this chapter.
It was Sunday evening July 27, 1986 in the Loud House. Most of the siblings including Ronnie Anne were in the bathroom brushing their teeth and getting ready for bed.
"I'm washin' my face, 'cause it makes me feel so beautiful," Luna sang when suddenly, Luan gets floss stuck in her braces.
"Hey, look! I'm at a floss for words!" Luan laughs, while Leni brushes her hair.
"I literally brush my hair exactly 50 times a night to keep it beautiful. 34...35...36..."
"Hey, Leni, how old was that boy that asked you out?" Lincoln asked but Leni ignored him.
"37...38...39..." Lincoln smiles slyly at her little joke while Lori tries to reach for her toothbrush.
"Hey Leni, can you pass me the toothbrushes for me and the kids?" Lori asked Leni, "It's the pink, lilac and orange ones that have our names on them. I already brushed Lily's teeth earlier, so I don't need to worry about it right now."
"Sure. Here you go," Leni said as she gives Lori their toothbrushes as she continues brushing her hair, "42...43...44..."
"Now where is that toothpaste?" Lori asked.
"I have it, dear," Bobby replied.
"Bobby, you do?" Lori asked.
"Just got done putting it on my toothbrush. It's actually a green toothbrush," Bobby replied before he hands Lori and their kids the toothpaste and starts brushing his teeth alongside Lynn and Lucy.
"Thanks, honey," Lori thanked.
"No problem, dear," Bobby replied.
"You know, Bobby sure is a very gentle young man perfect for me," Lori said gently.
"He sure is, Mom," Lincoln said softly.
"Yep, Dad sure knows what to do whenever they get us into trouble," Ronnie Anne agreed.
"I knew he would," Lori giggled.
Once Lori finished, Lincoln proceeds to dab toothpaste onto his orange toothbrush before he hands the tube to Ronnie Anne. Once done, Ronnie Anne then dabs toothpaste on her lilac toothbrush before handing the tube to Lori. She then then dabs the toothpaste on her pink toothbrush.
"Hey, Lola and I would like some toothpaste as well," Lana replied.
"Yeah, I want to keep myself pretty, including my teeth" Lola replied.
"Hmmm... okay. Here comes the toothpaste," Lori said softly as she hands the toothpaste to Lana and Lola, "Here you go, Lana and Lola. The toothpaste is now in your pretty hands."
"Gee, thank you, Lori," Lana said happily.
"Yeah, thanks," Lola said happily.
After Lori handed the toothpaste to Lana and Lola, she, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln started brushing her teeth.
"You know what they say, kids. A healthy pair of teeth is what keeps a doctor happy," Lori said while she was brushing her teeth.
Once they finished brushing their teeth, Lori, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln were walking together with Bobby to her room together when Lana and Lola came to them.
"Lana, Lola. What are you doing? Shouldn't you be going to bed?" Lori asked.
"Lori, our birthday's tomorrow," Lana explained.
"Well, guess what, you two? How would you both like to go to the aquarium with the me, Bobby and the kids tomorrow?" Lori suggested.
Lana suddenly became excited and Lola followed suit.
"AQUARIUM?! FOR REAL?!" The twins shouted in happiness.
"Yeah. Now you should get to bed, your birthday's tomorrow, you know?" Lori demanded.
"Yes, Lori," Lana and Lola then ran off to their bedroom as Lori proceeded to climb into bed with Bobby sleeping with her while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne sleeping in Leni's bed.
"You know, honey. I think you, me and the kids are going to be having such a great time tomorrow, and let's not forget the cake for the twin sisters," Lori said softly.
"Ooh, now, Lori, honey," Bobby giggled.
"Not to worry, our kids and I have student discounts, so we'll get us in for half price tomorrow and give these twin sisters the time of their lives at the aquarium," Lori said softly as she and Bobby both kiss each other's lips and Lori turns off her bedroom lamp as she and Bobby fall asleep together with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne sleeping in Leni's bed, knowing that tomorrow will be a special day for the twins.
Monday, July 28, 1986
That morning, Lori was in the kitchen making Lana and Lola a birthday breakfast with the help of her boyfriend, Bobby, since Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily were already having some sausage and eggs for breakfast.
"You know, dear. I think this will be the greatest birthday breakfast that the twins will ever have," Bobby said happily.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure these strawberry-flavored pancakes will impress Lola's beauty," Lori said happily.
"Hey, Mom, Dad. I hope those twins like the presents your parents got them," Lincoln replied while he and Ronnie Anne look at a plate of six pancakes, three for each twin.
"Mom, do you think that will be enough for them?" Ronnie Anne asked them,
"Hey, not to worry. We'll be ready to surprise them in no time at all," Lori replied.
In Lola and Lana's room, the twins were still asleep, this time together in Lana's bed, as Lori, Bobby and their kids walked inside with the others including Lynn Sr. and Rita, who noticed the birthday breakfast, as they were all carrying a breakfast tray, starring two monumental stacks of pancakes.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Just then, the twins were suddenly awoken by the family, as the bleary eyed girls focused their eyes on the others standing next to Lana's bed, and Rita kissed Lola then Lana on their right cheeks before Lori and Bobby presented the twins the birthday breakfast she promised them.
"Here's your birthday breakfast, my dear twins!" Lori said happily.
"Well, isn't that nice!" Lana said cheerfully.
"Wow, strawberry pancakes! My favorite kind of pancakes!" Lola said cheerfully.
"And mine are chocolate chip! Such perfection!" Lana said cheerfully as Bobby and Lori handed the birthday breakfast to the twins.
"Thank you, Lori and Bobby!" Lola and Lana said happily in unison.
"You're welcome, twins!" Bobby said happily to the twins.
"Well, eat up. We got a big day ahead of us," Lori said happily as the twins started eating their birthday breakfast.
Just about ten minutes later, after they finished their birthday breakfast. Bobby and Lori returned the breakfast tray to the kitchen before they headed back to the twins' room.
"Okay, guys, are you all set for what we're gonna do today?" Lori asked.
"What are we gonna do today?" Lola asked.
"You know that it's our birthday," Lana added.
"Well, since it's the seven of us, since the kids are coming along, we're going to be spending most of the day at the Royal Woods Aquarium!" Lori explained happily.
"Yay! Sea turtles and dolphins!" Lola cheered.
"All right! I'd love to see some whales and sharks!" Lana cheered.
"Well, let's all get us a quick shower and get ready to go to the aquarium today!" Lori said happily.
After breakfast, they all then got themselves a quick shower all together. After getting a quick shower, they all went to their separate rooms and slipped on their summer clothes.
With Lori, she slipped on her pink one-piece floral-print swimsuit and paired it with a pair of her blue jean shorts and her usual socks and tennis shoes while her boyfriend Bobby put on his red lifeguard swim trunks and paired it with a white T-shirt matching the lifeguard symbol on his trunks and a pair of white shoes.
Lincoln on the other hand, switched into his orange floral print swim trunks and paired it with his red T-shirt and his usual socks and shoes, Ronnie Anne put on her purple one-piece floral print swimsuit, pairing it with her usual shorts and purple sandals, and Lori dressed Lily into a purple onesie with a strawberry on the front.
After they got their summer clothes on, they brushed their teeth, combed their hair and put some deodorant on their armpits, and afterwards, they got their stuff ready and then walked down to the living room.
When they went down to the living room, they saw the twin sisters already in their summer attire. Lana was wearing her blue beach tank top, trademark pink vest, murky green beach shorts, and blue sandals and Lola was wearing a pink knee-length tropical sundress, pink beach high heels, and colorful pearl bracelets on her wrists.
"Okay, everybody. It's time to go to the aquarium," Lori said happily.
"Yay! Time to see some sea turtles! It's about time I got out of my pageant phase for once!" Lola said happily.
"All right! Aquarium time!" Lana said happily.
"Wow. Such a trip down memory lane," Lincoln said happily.
"Can't wait to see some real fish in person!" Ronnie Anne cheered.
"Fishies!" Lily cheered.
"Well, let's get moving then," Lori said happily.
They all started going outside to the driveway while Lori then got her purse that contained her wallet with her credit cards and driver's license, her diary, her phone, her camera, her sunglasses and the keys to Vanzilla.
Once done, the seven family relatives then got into Vanzilla with Lori at the wheel and her boyfriend Bobby and daughter Lily sitting up front with her and the twins sitting in-between Ronnie Anne and Lincoln. They then pull out of the driveway and onto the road to the aquarium.
"So twins. Are you excited to spend most of your birthday at the aquarium?" Lincoln asked them.
"Yeah, I sure am, Lincoln," Lana said softly.
"Boy, the twins must be excited about the aquarium trip," Bobby said happily.
"Yeah, they sure are, Dad," Ronnie Anne agreed with Bobby, "I'm glad I get to sit with Lana during the ride. She's such a cool Loud sibling to be around."
"Wow, I would definitely love to see some sea turtles and some dolphins. They're among some of my favorite sea animals," Lola said softly.
"Same here, Lola, the pretty twin sister," Lincoln replied.
"Wait, did you call me pretty?" Lola asked in surprise.
"I sure did, pretty perfect little lovable princess," Lincoln replied.
"Lincoln," Lola giggled as she gets closer on Lincoln and lays her head a bit on his side.
"Boy, Lola. You sure seem to be getting along with Lincoln now," Lori said softly.
"Yeah, you're awfully quiet, girls. I thought you would have been excited for this," Bobby said softly.
"No, I get it. We are excited," Lana said softly.
"Well, don't get too excited though," Lincoln said softly.
Lana and Lola then remained quiet for the rest of the ride. Some time later, they arrived at the aquarium, and got out of Vanzilla.
"There it is, everybody. The Royal Woods Aquarium. Home to some of the finest sea creatures on Earth," Lori said happily.
"Believe us. It sure looks great," Lana agreed.
"Well, let's get ready to have a fun day there," Lincoln said happily.
And with that, Lori, Bobby, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily were all were ready to give Lana and Lola a great day, as they went up to the front, to purchase tickets from Suzanne, the ticket lady.
"Welcome to the Royal Woods Aquarium. I'm Suzanne, the ticket lady here at the aquarium. With a student ID, you get half off on everything here at this fun aquarium," Suzanne replied as Lori, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln show their student IDs.
"Yep, the kids and I got our student ID's," Lori said as Bobby and the twins pull their student ID's out, "Ooh, and Bobby and the twins all have one each. He he he."
"Wow. That's quite lovely. Here you go, guys," the ticket lady replied as she handed them their tickets, "Enjoy your visit to the Royal Woods Aquarium.
The seven of them went inside the building, and their aquarium visit had begun. The front of the aquarium was quite big with a large blue whale statue at the front hanging from the ceiling, and some statues of sea turtles, a whale shark, a killer whale, and dolphins.
"Whoa. Look at this place," Lori said happily.
"Wow. This aquarium has everything," Lola said happily.
"So much aquatic life here," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"This looks awesome!" Lincoln said happily.
"Believe me. It really does," Lori agreed happily.
"Yeah," Lana said softly.
"Hey, Lola, Lana, listen. We..." Lincoln confessed.
"Guys, I know what this is about. You're all doing this to make our birthday a memorable one," Lola said softly.
"Look, Lincoln and I both disappointed you before, but..." Lori confessed.
"Yeah, you and Lincoln were like heroes to me, but that doesn't seem enough for me unfortunately," Lana said softly.
"Yeah, but at least you were both able to make up for it," Lola said softly.
With that, Lana and Lola both softly grabbed their tickets from Lori, and looked away, as they walked into the aquarium as one of the workers approached.
"Welcome! How many of you are there?" An unnamed worker asked.
"Uh, there are seven of us here," Lori replied.
"So, would the seven of you like to participate in the Undersea Exploration Show in the screening room?" the unnamed worker suggested.
"Yeah, sure," Lori said happily.
"One open for me and Dad," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Dibs on the ocean views," Lincoln said happily.
"Yay! Undersea!" Lily babbled happily.
"Here comes the ocean exploration," Lana and Lola said happily.
And so, the seven of them were lead into the screening room. They were seated, and the worker gave them brochures for the aquarium. The lights in the room dimmed, and the screen came on.
"Hello, and welcome to the Royal Woods Aquarium! I am your guide, Ellen DeGenres, and welcome to Undersea Explorations. The sea is home to numerous fascinating creatures, and all of the biggest creatures on the planet, dwell in the ocean."
The show, which was presented on a 35mm film reel, continued with informative trivia of the world's oceans, and where certain species of sea life dwell. Lori, Bobby, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Lola, Lana and Lily all got to see exciting trivia about prehistoric sea life, and the various creatures in the sea today, including fish to sea mammals, crustaceans, cephalopods, and sea turtles.
"Wow! This is cool!" Lana said happily.
"So pretty," Lola said happily.
"So glamorous," Lori said happily.
"So beautiful," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Pretty," Lily said happily.
"Yeah, it sure is amazing. My mom sure makes our birthdays memorable," Lincoln said happily.
Lori was really starting to smile more as the twins were enjoying their time at the aquarium. After the Undersea Explorations show, they walked out of the theater, and continued to go around the aquarium.
"Boy, that show is just wonderful," Lori said happily.
"Yeah, you sure got it, dear," Bobby agreed.
"You really did, Mom," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Happy," Lily said happily.
"So, twins, where do you want to go now?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, uh..." Lana tried to explain.
"I'd say anywhere that has sea turtles. I'm just hoping to see some," Lola said happily.
With that, the seven of them headed over to the sea turtle exhibit where another worker was at the front of the exhibit.
"Hello, and Welcome to Turtle Cove!" the worker greeted.
"Wow! Turtle Cove! I love turtles!" Lana said happily.
"So do I!" Lincoln agreed.
"We all do!" Lori said happily as they all proceed to watch the sea turtles for a bit.
"Wow. Look at those sea turtles," Bobby said happily.
"They're so gorgeous," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Wow, so pretty. These are just what I was looking forward to seeing," Lola said happily.
"Yeah, such beautiful sea turtles, aren't they," Lori said happily as she took a picture of the sea turtles with her camera before they moved on to the next exhibit.
"Hey, guys! I think we should check out the sea mammal habitat," Lana suggested happily.
"Great idea! Let's check it out!" Bobby agreed as the seven of them headed over to the sea mammal habitat and walked into Sea Mammal Exploration, and immediately went over to the sea lion exhibit.
"Welcome!" a worker prepared the sea lions to perform tricks for the guests, "Now watch, as Flip here jumps through this hoop," Flip was then seen swimming around, and then did a leap through the hoop. The crowd applauded, and Flip was tossed a fish, "Now watch as Doc and Luca do the same!"
The two sea lions do the exact same trick, and are tossed a fish each.
"Wow! Cool!" Lana said happily.
"Such perfectionists here!" Lola said happily before Lori took a picture of the sea lions jumping through the hoops.
"Hopefully by the end of the day, the kids and I can really make Lana and Lola's birthday very memorable," Lori said to the viewers happily while the seven of them then walked over to see the other sea mammals, and were stunned to see that they had a beluga whale on display.
"Wow! A beluga!" Lori said happily.
"So cool and pretty," Lola said happily.
"Beluga! Beluga!" Lily babbled happily.
"Such a big fish here!" Lincoln said happily.
"This is Kala, our beloved beluga here at the aquarium," the tank lady explained, "She was found with an injury on her fluke, and was immediately brought over to our sea hospital. We nursed her back to health, and now she enjoys the hospitality of our aquarium."
"Well, I'm very happy you nurse these sea animals," Lori said softly.
"Yeah! She's amazing! It's cool that you guys also help sea life," Lana said happily.
"Our facility is here to both heal, and protect the creatures of the deep," the tank lady replied.
"Wow. That's such a pleasure," Lincoln said happily.
"Yeah, it's great to see that you protect these endangered sea creatures," Ronnie Anne added.
"So, are there other whales at this aquarium?" Lori asked.
"Unfortunately no, but we do have a dolphin exhibit over there," the tank lady pointed to the other side of the room where the dolphin exhibit is.
"Wow! A dolphin exhibit!" Lola said happily.
"All right! I finally get to see a dolphin in person!" Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Thanks!" Lincoln said happily.
"Dolphin!" Lily babbled happily.
"Yeah. We'll check it out," Lori said happily.
They all then walked over to the dolphin exhibit. The two of them were amazed as the dolphins did tricks for the guests with a man standing right at the front of the exhibit.
"Alright, now who would like to get a closer look at our dolphins?" the exhibit man asked.
"Oh, oh, we would, we would!" Lana shouted happily.
"Okay, okay, girls, don't get too excited!
"Sorry," Lola said happily and the seven of them then went closer to the dolphin tank.
"All right, fells. This is Dinah! She's the most friendly of our dolphins, and loves to meet people," the worker explained as he handed Lana and Lola a fish so they could feed Dinah and they handed the fishes to her, "Very good, girls! Would you two like to pet her?"
"Sure," Lola agreed happily.
"You bet!" Lana agreed happily.
With that, they and the others got close to pet Dinah. Dinah did a leap in the air, and the seven of them got splashed and they all laughed.
"It's a good thing I'm wearing my swimsuit," Lori said to herself while laughing.
"So am I, Mom," Ronnie Anne agreed with what Lori said as she laughed with the others who got splashed.
"Who's next in line to see the dolphins?" the worker asked.
With that, some other guests came up after the six of them left the exhibit.
"Boy, it's almost noon, everybody. You want to get something to eat for lunch?" Lori asked happily.
"Yeah!" Lola and Lana said happily.
"That sounds good, Mom!" Lincoln agreed.
"Yeah. I'm starving," Bobby agreed.
"Me too, Mom," Ronnie Anne Agreed.
"Lily hungry," Lily agreed.
And with that, the seven of them headed over to the cafeteria to get some lunch. Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Lily and their parents Bobby and Lori got some slices of pizza, French fries, mozzarella sticks, and four soft drinks, two cherry colas and three Dr. Pepper's, while Lana and Lola got a couple of cheeseburgers, curly fries, and two cherry flavored colas.
"So, is everybody enjoying themselves?" Lori asked them.
"Yeah," Lincoln agreed.
"We most certainly are," Lola said happily.
"Yeah, we're all having a great time. Thanks for bringing us here, Lori," Lana said happily.
"Yeah, this really makes this birthday unforgettable," Lola agreed happily.
Suddenly, Lori got an idea.
"Wait. I have an idea. I can make this birthday for you guys one to remember for a lifetime," Lori explained.
"What do you mean? Lana and Lola asked in happiness.
Lori proceeds to grab her camera from her purse.
"I think we should take a photo with each one of us in the frame," Lori suggested.
"Sounds like a great idea." Bobby agreed.
"Yeah, we should do it now," Ronnie Anne suggested.
The seven of them then got together and Lori was upfront with them.
"All right, everybody! Smile, look cheerful! Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!" Lori said happily and she takes the photo with her camera with all seven in the photo frame. After they took the photo, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily were both feeling overjoyed that Lana and Lola were enjoying their time here.
"So, after lunch, where do you twins want to go next?" Lori asked.
"Hey, Lori, do they have one of those tide pool exhibits, where you can stick your hand in, and touch what's in the tank?" Lana asked.
"Hmmm. I'd better see," Lori said as she takes out the brochure and sees that there is actually one of those, "Actually, Lana, yes, they do. It's over at Family Cove right past the Great Barrier Reef exhibit."
"Well, let's go there next. I can't wait to see more of the fish here," Lola said happily.
"Me either!" Lana said happily.
"Anything you want, girls," Lori said softly.
"Yep, Today is your lucky day," Bobby said softly.
"Thanks, guys!" Lana and Lola replied happily.
With that, the seven of them finished eating their lunch. Afterwards, Lori bought them all some chocolate sundaes for dessert, before they ventured over to Family Cove.
Once they arrived at the Family Cove, they went over to the tide pool and they were amazed by the presence of numerous sea creatures including sea stars, rays and hermit crabs.
"Wow, those are some amazing sea stars and hermit crabs," Lola said happily.
"Wow, some impressive rays," Lincoln said happily.
"Those fish are such beautiful creatures," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"Wow. It's beautiful," Lori said happily.
"No kidding. This is such a delight," Lana said happily as she and Lola then proceeded to put their hands in the tank. When their hands went inside the tank, they touched numerous sea stars, rays, hermit crabs, and even a little cat shark.
"Wow. These sea creatures are so beautiful. Sometimes when I learn about sea creatures in school, I often think about Stephen Hillenburg," Lori said romantically.
"Whoa? Really?" Lana and Lola asked in surprise.
"Yeah, Mom does think about Hillenburg whenever she learns about sea creatures at Royal Woods High School," Ronnie Anne said to the twins.
In case you don't know, Hillenburg is currently teaching marine biology to his visitors at the Orange County Marine Institute far away in Dana Point, California," Lincoln explained.
With that, they then looked around Family Cove, but suddenly, they witnessed that they had a penguin exhibit.
"Wow, a penguin exhibit," Lori said happily.
"Such a cool experience," Lincoln said happily.
"Let's go see the penguins," Lana said happily.
"Wow, such chilly animals, I can't resist," Lola said happily.
The seven of them then went over to see the penguins. They stayed at the exhibit to see numerous trivia lessons about penguins that were told by the lady working in the exhibit. After their time at the penguin exhibit, they then decided to walk over to go to the Great Barrier Reef Exhibit.
"Wow. The Great Barrier Reef Exhibit," Lincoln said happily.
"Wow. Such a rare delicacy for seeing real fish," Lola said happily.
"It's cool they have a reef exhibit," Lincoln said happily.
"Well, you know, guys, these reefs have some of the most beautiful scenery in the ocean," Lori said happily as they all looked around the tank, and saw all the beauty that the Great Barrier Reef has and in it's scenery.
"Wow, this Great Barrier Reef exhibit is my go-to for an exhibit at the aquarium," Lola said happily.
Afterwards they looked at the brochure to see where they haven't visited yet.
"Hey, guys. How about Cephalopod Grotto? Would you like to go there?" Lori suggested.
"Wow, Cephalopod Grotto!" Lola and Ronnie Anne said happily in unison.
"Grotto!" Lily babbled happily.
"Whoa, cool man! I'd love to see some octopi and squids!" Lana said happily as the seven of them headed over to Cephalopod Grotto, and Lana and Lola were fascinated by the exhibits within it, "Whoa! Look at that huge octopus!"
"Wow. Such cool-looking octopi," Lola said happily.
"Yeah! It is cool," Lincoln said happily.
"And such pretty ones, too," Lori said happily.
"Hey, and there's a giant squid," Lana said happily.
With that, they headed over to the giant squid's tank.
"That, my friends, is the biggest cephalopod we've ever had on exhibit," a tank worker explained.
"I wonder why they don't have any octopi at the tide pool," Lana confessed.
"I think the reason is because they secrete ink when they're scared," Lori explained, "Nobody wants to touch a a tank with inky water, would they?"
"No, nobody would," Lola agreed.
"Nope," Lily agreed.
"Well, I wouldn't mind," Lana replied.
"Lana," Lori, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne said in shock and surprise.
"What, I like to get myself dirty," Lana confessed, "Especially the times when I fix up Dad's Vanzilla."
"Lana. We think you should lay back on getting yourself dirty for a while," Ronnie Anne explained.
"Alrighty then. Where to next?" Lana asked them.
"How about the Shark Zone?" Lincoln suggested.
"Whoa? The Shark Zone? For real?" Lori said in surprise.
"Do you even need to ask? Let's go!" Lana said happily.
The seven of them then headed over to Shark Zone, and once they got there, they were absolutely amazed at the different sharks on exhibit.
"Wow. The shark zone," Lola said happily.
"This is so awesome," Lana said happily.
"Yeah!" Lincoln agreed.
"You know, they have tiger sharks, reef sharks, sand sharks, nurse sharks, blue sharks, and..." Bobby explained but...
"Whoa, great white sharks!" Lincoln said happily.
"Mom... I'm freaking out," Ronnie Anne said in surprise while slightly clinging on to Lori.
"These must be the most feared sharks in the sea," Lana said happily.
"Maybe it's because they don't last long in captivity," Lola said happily.
"Okay, everybody. That's enough," Lori explained as the six of them then headed over to the great white shark tank.
"This here is the biggest group of great whites on display in any aquarium. Great whites don't always last long in captivity, but here at our facility we've managed to make a living environment suitable for them to last, and as a result, we have six great whites on display. You might notice we have separate tanks for all of them, since if we put them together they would attack each other," the tank person explained.
"Wow," Lori said happily.
"This is so cool," Lana said happily.
"All kinds of great sharks here in this aquarium. This is such a great view here. Isn't it, dear?" Bobby asked romantically.
"Ah he he, now, Bobby," Lori said romantically as she and Bobby started kissing each other romantically.
With Lana, she wanted to get a closer look, and so she climbed up the stairway to get a closer look of the great white shark tank from above. She went passed the boundary of the walkway, and accidentally slipped, and the top of her pink vest got caught on the ledge, with her hanging over the shark tank, and Lana started screaming for help.
"AAAAHHHH! HELP!"
Suddenly, this got Lori and Bobby's attention alongside the others.
"Oh no! LANA!" Lori said in fear.
"Sounds like Lana's in trouble!" Bobby screamed.
"My twin sister!" Lola screamed.
"Not Lana!" Ronnie Anne screamed.
"Hold on, young lady!" a worker radioed for help. A few of the shark handlers came by to help get her unstuck, and pull her back to safety.
"Hold on, Lana! We're coming!" Lincoln screamed.
"We'll save you, twin sister!" Lola screamed in fear.
"Stay back, guys! I don't want you to fall in trying to save me," Lana said in fear.
"Don't worry about it! We're not gonna let my little mechanic-lover be shark bait!" Lori said bravely.
As they all slowly approached her, they carefully made it passed the boundary of the walkway, and slowly walked towards Lana. Just then, the pink vest got loose, and she started to fall, but Lincoln caught her. He was pulling her up, but because he was pulling her up with only one hand, and holding on to the ledge with the other, but suddenly, he was just about to lose his grip on the edge of the walkway when his mother Lori grabbed him by the other hand with both hands.
But unfortunately, she too loses her grip and now all three of them were about to fall into the shark tank. Ronnie Anne, Lily, Lola and Bobby couldn't bare to see the three get eaten by the sharks in that tank. Luckily, a shark handler grabbed the three of them with a large net, and pulled them to safety.
"Are you okay, Lana? Did those sharks get you?" Lori asked nervously.
"Yes! And the sharks didn't get me. Thank goodness for that," Lana said relieved.
"Thanks for saving us, Mom. I've never been so scared in all my life," Lincoln said relieved as he and Lana both hugged Lori tightly.
"Yeah. Thanks, guys! It was such a big climactic moment there!" Lori said softly.
"You're welcome, guys. Just be careful next time okay young lady," a shark handler informed Lana.
"I'm sorry, Lori! I wont do that again," Lana replied softly.
"We're just glad you're all safe," the worker said happily.
With that, Lori, Bobby, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Lily and the twin sisters Lola and Lana all continued with their aquarium visit, and once the day was almost up, they went over to the gift shop.
"So, guys. Is there something you all would like?" Lori asked them.
"Hey, I'd like this shark cap," Lana demanded.
"Yeah, and I'd like this beautiful dolphin cap," Lola suggested.
"Well, okay, girls," Lori replied softly as she picked up a shark cap for Lana and a dolphin cap for Lola along with seven T-shirts their respected sizes, a plush sea lion, a plush sea turtle, and five plush dolphins, and headed over to the register. Once they got to the register, Lori payed for the purchases, and handed Lana and Lola their shark and dolphin caps, and their aquarium t-shirts.
"Gee, thanks, guys!" Lana said happily.
"Yeah, thanks," Lola said happily.
"Yeah, thank you very much, Mom," Ronnie Anne thanked Lori.
"Hey Lincoln, we're sorry that we were all being so cold to you, and your family earlier this month," Lana said softly.
"Yeah. I just hoping for you to make this birthday very memorable," Lola said softly.
"Yeah, It's perfectly understandable," Lincoln replied softly.
"Yeah, the kids and I were more focused on our own family life pretty much and I somehow allowed all that to happen," Lori said softly.
"Yeah, but I gave you both the cold shoulder, and treated you harshly when you and Lincoln both coached Lana for that pageant. You're all part of our family, and nothing will ever change that, and I should never let anything make me treat you guys like you don't exist. Please forgive us," Lola said softly.
"Of course!" Lincoln replied softly.
With that, the seven of them engaged in a big hug.
"Well, everybody, it's time to go home, don't want to be late for the birthday party, do you?" Lori suggested.
"No," Lana and Lola said happily.
With that, the seven of them left the aquarium and got inside Vanzilla.
"Well, I know we had a great time, twins," Lincoln said happily.
"Yeah, Lola and I both had a really great time," Lana said happily.
"We all sure had a great time indeed," Ronnie Anne agreed.
"It's great to know that you, Ronnie, Lily and your parents are always there for us," Lola replied happily.
"Well, you know, girls. That's what I like to hear," Lori said happily.
Later, they arrived back home, and when they entered the house, the sisters were happy to see the twns so happy.
"So I take it. Did you all have a great time?" Leni asked.
"You betcha! We all had a great time, and we've regained our faith in Lori, Bobby and their kids," Lana said happily.
"It's great that she and Lola have finally gotten along while at the aquarium," Lynn said softly.
"Definitely!" Luna said happily and Lynn, Lola, Leni, and Lisa all then nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's get ready for the twin's birthday cake coming up soon after dinner," Lori said happily.
Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Lily and their parents were happy that they haven't lost the twins' love for them.
Later, while everybody was having sausage and beans for dinner, Lori was thinking to herself dreamily.
"Wow, it looks like Lola and Lana have faith in us after all. I couldn't wait to see their birthday cake," Lori said to herself happily.
Sometime, later after dinner, Lola and Lana were in their rooms, lying down playing with their new plush sea animals, when Lincoln came into their room.
"Hey, Lola, Lana," Lincoln greeted.
"What is it now, Lincoln?" Lola asked softly
Lincoln hands them a blindfold each. The twins then take the blindfolds and wrapped them around their eyes.
"Now come with me, twins," Lincoln then guided the twins downstairs to the living room where it was completely dark.
"Okay, what's going on in here, Lincoln?" Lana asked nervously.
"Yeah, what's happening?" Lola asked nervously.
"You'll find out when you take the blindfolds off," Lincoln explained and the twins then proceeded to remove their blindfolds and find the lights to the living room turned on, they then gasp in shock, as Lincoln smiles proudly.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLA AND LANA!" the whole family shouted.
Lana and Lola were now teary eyed at this wonderful surprise.
"So, you twins like it?" Lincoln asked them.
"Like it? WE LOVE IT!" Lana said happily.
"Yeah, I can't believe you guys threw us a surprise party!" Lola said happily.
"Well, you twins earned it today," Bobby said happily.
"Yep, they sure did, honey," Lori agreed with Bobby.
"Hey, Luna! It's time to play a pleasant song for the twins!" Ronnie Anne said happily.
With that out of the way, Luna then prepped up her guitar and plug it to her base amp and started singing.
"This is your very special day and you're both now 7, just because you have presents and cake doesn't mean we can't celebrate with you.
Luan then use a confetti launcher and confetti is blown everywhere and the twins were in awe as Luna started strumming her guitar.
"We know it's your birthday, Lana and Lola, and we want to celebrate the event with you and wish you a Happy Birthday, Lana and Lola, so happy Birthday from all of us and Happy Birthday from the Louds Yeah!"
"Holy moly, guys! That was AWESOME!" Lana shouted happily.
"Yeah, Luna's singing was beautiful!" Lola shouted happily.
"Gee, thanks twins," Luna said softly.
Just as Luna rubbed their heads, their father put his hand on the twins shoulders.
"Hey twins, I was very glad to hear that you went to the aquarium as a special present, and I don't think I have anyone to thank right now other than Lori and her special kids, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily," Lynn Sr. said softly.
"Aww, thank you," Lori said softly.
"Hey, we're sorry we almost forgot your birthday, girls," Leni said softly.
"Hey, no problem," Lana said happily.
"You are forgiven, girls," Lola said happily.
"It wasn't their fault, their activities pretty much gotten the best of them yesterday," Bobby replied happily.
"What are we waiting for, everybody? Let's party!" Lana said happily and they all cheered and Lana and Lola then head to the dining room.
Once they arrived there, Lana and Lola sat down in two of the chairs. Luan then puts party hats on Lola and Lana, and it's their signature colors: murky blue and pink. The others including Ronnie Anne, Lily, Lincoln and Bobby then put on party hats of their respective colors. Afterwards, Leni then puts the cake on the table, it says, "Happy Birthday, Lola and Lana!" with seven candles on it with Leni lighting up the candles.
"All right, girls. Make a wish," Leni said softly.
Lana and Lola then blew into the candles, as everyone including their parents clap for the twins. Lori then cuts the first two slices for the twins. The twins then taste the slices and then they let out a large smile.
"Wow! This cake is spectacular!" Lana said happily.
"This is just the cake I needed!" Lola said happily.
"Well, we made it ourselves!" Leni said happily.
"Yeah, Lana, and your father and I all helped out," Rita said happily.
"I was surprised to say that you didn't burn this cake," Lana said happily.
"Yeah... ha ha..." Lisa said nervously before Lynn then eats a large chunk of it, much to Bobby's anger.
"Hey! Junior!" Bobby said angrily to Lynn.
"What? I wanted some too," Lynn confessed.
"Well, Lynn, you could've just waited until you gotten a slice," Lori said sternly to Lynn.
"Yeah, LJ, you need to mind your manners!" Lynn Sr. said angrily to Lynn Jr, agreeing with Lori for once.
"Sorry, Dad," she replied despondently.
After everyone has eaten their cake, they begin having Lana and Lola's seventh party. During the party, Luan entertains the twins with her sock puppets, Leni and Lisa are then seen doing magic tricks for Lana and Lola as Leni then brings out a top hat. But when she attempts to find a rabbit, a white cat named Snowball I suddenly pops up and attacks her. Some time later, everybody was ready to hand Lana and Lola their birthday presents.
"All right, Lana and Lola! It's time for your presents!" Rita said happily.
After that, the entire family was watching Lana and Lola open their presents. Lana got a new toy shovel and pail along with some new Mario merchandise, including a Mario action figure and a Mario outfit, consisting of, Mario's trademark hat, a blue shirt and red overalls and some new Transformers and He-Man action figures. Lola, on the other hand got herself some brand new Barbie dolls and a brand new Barbie playset, along with some new princess dresses, with one resembling Princess Peach's old dress. Lana and Lola then tried their new outfits on.
"Wow, you twins literally look adorable in those new outfits," Leni said happily.
"Thanks, everybody. This have been the best birthday Lana and I ever had," Lola said happily.
"Yeah, there's more to this than meets the eye," Lana said happily.
They turn to Lana and Lola and then embrace them in a group hug. Lori then gets ready to pull out her camera.
"Come on, everyone. Let's all take a photo to remember this birthday for a lifetime," Lori said happily and everybody then gets together and she sets her camera on a tripod, "Okay, everybody smile. I'm going to set the automatic timer," Lori then places a timer on it as they all pose for the camera. Lori then slides into the shot and pose.
And with that the photo was taken, a flash of light occurs and it then shows Lori in her bedroom later at 10:00 P.M. that night, taping the photo saying "Lana and Lola's 7th Birthday, a total aquarium adventure for them today!" into their photo album before closing the album up and putting it with her other beloved objects. Lori then got into bed with Bobby as she had already put Lily, Lola and Lana to bed and Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were once again sleeping in Leni's bed together like brother and sister.
"Well, it looks like Lola and Lana have faith in us after all, and plus we made their birthday very special today. And it's also great to know that no matter what we do, we'll always have the love of my sisters, and nothing can ever get in the way of that," Lori explained to the viewers.
With that, Lori turned off her bedroom light and yawned before she went to sleep with Bobby in their bed with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne sleeping, and them all cuddling up with their new plush sea animals.
