It was Saturday, August 24, 1986 at the Loud House. In Lori and Leni's room, Ronnie Anne was hanging out in the room as she was getting her shoes on.
"Wow! I sure had a good summer vacation overall," Ronnie Anne said to herself happily, "Kind of sad to say that it's almost over. I wonder what those sisters are up to today."
But once Ronnie Anne opens the door and enters the hallway, she finds the Loud sisters all doing their own things. At that moment, she then went up to Luna who's jamming out.
"HEY LUNA, NICE TUNES!" Ronnie Anne shouted.
"THANKS, LITTLE DUDE!" Luna shouted back.
"BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU SEEN LINCOLN LATELY?!" Ronnie Anne shouted.
"NAH, NOT RECENTLY!" Luna shouted back.
"OH, OK, WELL, KEEP ON ROCKING!" Ronnie Anne shouted before she heads up to the attic steps where Lucy is reading as she come up to her, "Hi, Lucy!"
"Um, Ronnie Anne, do you mind? I'm trying to read," Lucy said in a stern voice.
"Sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne suggested.
"No, not since this morning," Lucy replied.
"Oh. OK, have fun reading," Ronnie Anne said as she jumped down the attic stairs and saw the twins racing on a pogo stick and princess car, respectively. Ronnie Anne then ran to catch up with them, "Hey girls, love the rides! Have either of you seen Lincoln?"
"Nope, haven't seen him," Lana replied.
"Not since I asked him to have a tea party with me," Lola replied also.
"All right, then. Have fun racing! Maybe I should go ask Lisa," Ronnie Anne replied as she was about to go to Lisa and Lily's room, when suddenly a big explosion goes off, "Or, maybe not. I should probably ask my... uh... baby sister Lily instead," and she went over to Lily, who was finger painting on the walls.
"He-hey, Lily. Love the painting you got," Ronnie Anne said before Lily babbles happily, "By the way, Have you seen Lincoln lately?"
But Lily shakes her head in response.
"Oh. Okay. Keep up the good work, my little artiste sister!" Ronnie Anne said as she kissed Lily's forehead and went over to Luan who was seen practicing with Mr. Coconuts.
"Well, I gotta ask. How do you make an egg roll?" Luan asked with Mr. Coconuts, "I don't know. How do you make an egg roll?" "You push it!" "Good one, Mr. Coconuts, but your delivery was a little wooden." Luan laughed but Mr. Coconuts just turns at her and stares at her vividly. Luan reacts surprised and turns to the viewers awkwardly. Just then, Ronnie Anne comes up to her.
"Hi Luan. Hey, Mr. Coconuts. Have either of you guys seen Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Sorry, Ronnie. I haven't seen him," Luan replied, "If we did, we wood have told you," and they laughed.
"OK, thanks anyway guys. And stay funny!" Ronnie Anne replied as she left. Just then, Leni comes out wearing Lori's red lifeguard swimsuit and Lori comes out wearing her pink floral one-piece swimsuit.
"Whoa, Leni? Is that my lifeguard swimsuit you're wearing? You look just like me. Well,... almost like me," Lori said in surprise, "By the way, you look very sexy in that bathing suit."
"Ooh, thanks. Because Bobby and Ni-Ni are still here with you," Leni replied before Mr. Coconuts raises his eyebrows in an aroused motion and Luan covers his eyes but Lori looks quite impressed, "Mmmmm. Such an elegant look Leni has."
Just then Ronnie Anne came up.
"Hey, Mom. Ooooh, Leni, love that swimsuit you're wearing," Ronnie Anne commented.
"Gee, Thank you, Ronnie. Don't know why I'm wearing your mom's lifeguard bathing suit but Lori doesn't mind at all," Leni giggled.
"Nah, I'd let it slide. So I... Oh, hi, Ronnie Anne," Lori greeted Ronnie Anne.
"Oh, hi Mom. I'm looking for Lincoln, have either of you ladies seen him?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"No, he might be with Bobby today," Lori replied.
"Well, I haven't really seen him. Do I have a sudden feeling he went to the park with his father?" Leni asked but Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes.
"No, Leni. I'm just having a hard time finding them," Ronnie Anne replied before she groaned, "Does anyone know where Lincoln is?"
But just then, Lynn leaps out of the twins' room and leaps onto the walls doing parkour and Ronnie Anne was about to ask, "Oh, hey Lynn. Have you seen..."
But suddenly, Lincoln and Bobby come out of the twins' room but they fall on their face.
"Guys. There you are. What are you both doing?" Ronnie Anne asked in shock.
"Oh, hey Ronnie Anne. Daddy and I are doing parkour with Lynn," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah! Try and keep up with us, Ni-Ni," Bobby suggested.
"All righty then," Ronnie Anne replied.
Lynn bounces off Luna's speakers and leaps over Lola's car and Lana's pogo stick. Bobby and Lincoln try it but Lola runs them over and Lana bounces off them. Ronnie Anne, Bobby and Lincoln try to catch up with Lynn.
"See, Linc, the key to parkour is momentum. Never stop moving," Lynn commanded before she she leaps onto and springs off the bathroom door, "Door jump!" and flips back.
"Door jump!" Bobby and Lincoln both shouted as they drop kick open the door and fall in. At the same moment, Cliff comes walking out of the bathroom with a piece of toilet paper on his right paw while Ronnie Anne ran up to them.
"Lincoln, Dad, are you OK?" Ronnie Anne asked in fear.
"We're okay. We're just gonna lie here a sec on the nice, soft floor. Well, Ronnie Anne, welcome to a typical Saturday morning in the Loud House," Lincoln explained in pain.
"Well, it's pretty crazy," Ronnie Anne commented.
"Yeah, it sure is. But that's the way we like it. All eleven of the Louds and both us extras. That makes it the thirteen of us," Bobby agreed.
"Aw, that's sweet of you, Dad," Lincoln replied.
At that moment, Rita starts speaking and her voice comes through the vent.
"Eleven is way too many. I can't take it anymore," Rita said in fear.
"But we can't get rid of the girls. I'm too attached to them," Lynn Sr. confessed.
The three of them gasp and get closer to hear better.
"I know you are, honey, but they're just so obnoxious and loud," Rita agreed.
"Are they talking about you and your sister and your mom and her sisters, Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne asked in fear before Lincoln looks out into the hallway to see the chaos that they love possibly being the cause of this issue with Lori taking a photo of Leni wearing Lori's lifeguard swimsuit and Lori wearing her pink floral swimsuit and they get together to take themselves a selfie photo of them wearing the two different swimsuits.
"We're like real summer gals, Leni!" Lori commented peacefully to Leni.
"Hey, Lori! You should see this!" Bobby shouted.
"Okay, honey! I'm coming!" Lori called as she puts on a pair of shorts before she runs to the bathroom.
"I'm sorry, but my mind is made up. I want all of them out of the house and on the curb in time for trash pickup tomorrow," Rita suggested and they were all shocked.
"Trash pickup? I better tell everybody about this!" Lincoln said in fear as he ran off to tell everybody.
"Lincoln, wait!" Lori and Bobby both called for him.
However, inside the parents' room, Lynn Sr. and Rita are actually talking about his neckties.
"But I love my tie collection! Cool neckwear is my thing," Lynn Sr. confessed.
"Honey, please, they're an embarrassment," Rita replied.
"Not this one," Lynn Sr. held up his disco tie before he plays a disco record in the record player which makes it light up and play music as he starts wearing the tie, "It sure feels like a dance party when you wear this disco tie around your neck," and he starts dancing which makes his wife feel embarrassed.
"Man, what an embarrassment," Rita said to herself.
Back upstairs, the girls have heard what Lincoln and his parents heard through the vent but they don't believe them.
"That is literally the dumbest thing you three have ever said!" Leni said in a stern voice.
"Yeah. Why would they want to get rid of us?" Lynn asked.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe… this," Lincoln said as he and Ronnie Anne show them a photo of the damage, therefore being the destruction they have caused in the hallway and a coyote trying to make off with Mr. Coconuts. The coyote notices the kids, drops Mr. Coconuts, and leaves.
"Wait, Lana, where did you get that coyote?!" Lori asked Lana in an angry tone.
"Uh, I have no idea," Lana smiles sheepishly.
"Whatever, Mr. and Mrs. Paranoid and Paranoid Junior. This is a waste of valuable fashion styling and workout time!" Leni still disbelieved.
"Leni, wait! We're serious!" Lincoln confessed.
"Yeah, please, come listen for yourself, Leni," Lori agreed.
Suddenly, Leni was now listening to the conversation now with worry.
"But I thought you loved them," Lynn Sr. confessed.
"Frankly, dear, I didn't really like the one who is obsessed with workouts and fashion," Rita's words send Leni into a state of panicking depression, "And the next thing I know, we've got eleven."
"IT'S TRUE! MOM AND DAD ARE GETTING RID OF US!" Leni screamed and the others start panicking.
"I'm gonna go down there and give them a piece of my mind!" Lola yelled.
"Guys. Shh. Quiet down," Lori informed everybody.
"I'm gonna lose my princess bed! Don't you tell me to quiet down!" Lola screamed angrily.
"Do not think about it, Lola!" Bobby yelled at Lola in an angry manner, "This is what got us in trouble in the first place! The yelling, the fighting, and the loudness!"
But all of a sudden, Lori got an idea.
"Wait, I have an idea, if you all get kicked out, you can always come stay with the Casagrandes at their apartment in Great Lakes City," Lori explained.
"Really?" they all said in surprise.
"Wow, for real?!" Leni said in excitement.
"You mean Grandma's extended family?" Ronnie Anne said in excitement.
"If they get rid of you, then yes," Lori replied.
"Aw, guys, that's so sweet!" Leni said happily.
"Mom, we accept your offer, but none of them want to be a burden to the Casagrandes," Lincoln confessed.
"Aw, don't worry, you guys won't be burdens," Lori replied softly and sweetly to Lincoln before she kissed him on the forehead.
"Yeah, boy. You and Ronnie Anne and Lily are the only things that matter most to me and Lori," Bobby added.
"You're right, Mom and Dad. I've got a better idea. We just need to stop acting like we were," Lincoln explained.
"Lincoln's right. We have to be quiet, and perfectly well behaved," Ronnie Anne agreed.
"If we all work together, maybe we can convince Mom and Dad not to get rid of us. Now who's with me and my own family?" Lori asked and they all agree in response.
With that, the thirteen of them put their operation to work. Lynn glues the vase back together and Lisa creates a chemical that makes a bouquet for the vase. In Luna's room, she was packing her favorite axe away.
"Sorry, love. Time to go acoustic," Lori replied sorrowfully as she puts away her axe and starts playing a zither while Luan was packing away Mr. Coconuts.
"Sorry, Mr. Coconuts. But I'm afraid I have to leave you behind," Luan replied sorrowfully before Mr. Coconuts defied, "Without me, you're just a hand!" Luan closes the trunk on him and speaks for him in a muffled tone, "Hey! I bring the funny! You're always..." but Luan zips her lip and is now a mime. Lisa is mopping on the ceiling thanks to her anti-gravity shoes. Lucy sighs deeply on the mirror and wipes it. Luan is miming like she's cleaning with a broom and Lori very quickly gives her a real broom to sweep up. Leni is returning Lori her lifeguard swimsuit as she is now wearing something else.
"Here's that lifeguard swimsuit and pair of yours back, Lori," Leni said softly.
"Gee, thank you," Lori replied gently as she takes her lifeguard swimsuit back and hangs it up in her closet, but she then sees what Leni was wearing next, which was one of Lori's pink sweaters and a pair of blue jeans as Leni was putting on the trenchcoat, "Who...whoa! Leni! Are those my main clothes?"
"Yep, they sure are. Wow, I literally seem to have such a big interest in playing dress-up alongside aerobic dancing," Leni replied.
"Mm-hmm, I have to say, you kind of look just like me, Leni. Except even cuter," Lori commented.
"Nice work on remembering the plan, Mom," Lincoln replied.
"And I got to say, the trenchcoat looks so much cooler on you, dude!" Lori commented.
"Oooh, we're talking radical now, bro," Leni replied when suddenly, Lily is crying with worry of getting kicked out alongside her mother Lori and brother Lincoln, and Luan performs the classic trapped-in-a-box routine and cheers Lily up. Leni then walks in, "Oh my god! Luan, are you okay? HELP, GUYS! I THINK LUAN'S TRAPPED!"
But just then, Bobby came in to assist Leni.
"Leni, Luan's not trapped. She's just acting like a mime. It's what they do," Bobby replied.
"Oh. Right, it's just my mind again," Leni said to her self coldly.
The twins are feigning giving each other turns to use the bathroom first.
"Ladies first!" Lana suggested.
"No, dear twin, after you!" Lola denied.
"You're too kind, dear Lola, but I must insist you go first," Lana suggested.
"I shan't hear of it!" Lola complained.
"And I would never forgive myself if I went before you!" Lana denied.
"Oh, please! Age before beauty! You are just two minutes older!" Lola complained.
"Ahem!" Lori and her kids Lincoln and Lily were standing right behind them with Lincoln really needing to pee.
"Oh, sorry guys! You all go first," Lana and Lola replied.
"Thanks!" Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, thank you!" Lori agreed.
With that, she and her kids all rush in and Lincoln uses the toilet and he, Lily and Lori are greeted with an update on her parents' conversation from the vent.
"Honey, please! Won't you reconsider?" Lynn Sr. confessed.
"Oh dear. I better get my fellow siblings here immediately!" Lori said in fear before she went to tell her sisters alongside Bobby and Ronnie Anne, "Guys, Mom and Dad are at the vent again."
With that, everybody rushed into the bathroom to listen in.
"Okay, maybe I judged them unfairly. Forget what I said about getting rid of all of them," Rita informed her husband.
Upon hearing that, the thirteen of them were relieved.
"It worked! Woo-hoo!" Lori cheered.
"We did it! We get to stay!" the twins cheered.
"Woo-Hoo," Ronnie Anne cheered.
"Oh joy. What a relief," Lucy sighed with relief.
However, Lincoln was still straining from not being able to go at such an inconvenient time.
"Speaking of relief, everyone out, please," Lincoln commanded.
"Yeah, please give Bobby, and the kids some room please," Lori commanded.
In response, the girls all leave the bathroom happy that they're not gonna have to leave as Luan pretends to pull on a rope.
"Seriously! Another invisible rope trick, Luan?!" Leni said as she was intrigued by Luan's rope trick.
Once they are out, Lincoln shuts the bathroom door so he can use the toilet and Lori can brush her hair alongside Lily's and Ronnie Anne's hair more as her parents talk more.
"You mean it? I can keep them all?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"I didn't say that. But I will let you keep your favorite," Rita replied.
"His favorite?" Bobby, Lori and the kids all shouted in shock and the five of them get closer.
"But they're all equally great. How can I pick just one?" Lynn Sr. confessed.
"Come on. There must be one that stands out above the rest," Rita replied.
"Sounds like we've got some serious standing out to do," Lori explained bravely.
"Yeah, Mom. Right after I pee," Lincoln strained as he goes to take care care of that while Lori and the others plan on what to do tomorrow.
Sunday, August 25, 1986
The next morning, Lori, Lincoln and Lily were now making a nice breakfast meal for his father with pancakes in the shape of his face and coffee, using the "TOP POP" coffee mug. Just then, Ronnie Anne came in.
"Hey, guys. What's for breakfast? Oooooh, Pancakes!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed but as she was about to reach for one but suddenly, Lori swats Ronnie's hand away from it.
"Nuh-uh, don't touch those, Ronnie Anne! Those are for my father," Lori explained.
"But, Mom, why are you making breakfast for your father?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Well, yesterday, we heard Mom tell Dad he can keep his favorite. And I gotta make sure that we don't get kicked out," Lori continued.
"Wait, but Mom, Lincoln. What about your sisters, shouldn't we help them not kicked out too?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Ronnie Anne, There's no time," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah. We're in just a rush," Bobby agreed.
"But what if they find out about this?" Lori asked with worry.
"Well, maybe they won't, Mom," Lincoln replied.
"Well, okay. Here goes," Lori said to herself.
As soon as the breakfast was ready, Lincoln along with Ronnie Anne, Lily, Bobby and Lori all sneak over to the parents' bedroom, but suddenly Lola catches them.
"Aha! So where are you going with those pancakes?" Lola asked suspiciously before examining the breakfast, "And why did you spell out "World's Most Improved Father" with chocolate chips?"
It turns out that Lincoln, Lily, Bobby and Lori did it on the whipped cream for their dad's coffee.
"Wait a minute. Guys, how come we did that on the whipped cream for Dad's coffee?" Lori asked in fear.
"Why are you so surprised? She's 6 years old. She's old enough to know how to read," Bobby explained.
"Yeah, I am more than just a pretty face, guys!" Lola said suspiciously as she pulled Lincoln by his ear and continued, "Now, you and your mom are most definitely up to something, and I'm gonna find out what it is!"
Sometime later, he and Lori tell the news to the others who are now glaring at them and having dropped the breakfast, while Lily, Ronnie Anne and Bobby looked worried.
"But on the upside, we're not all getting kicked out," Lincoln complied.
"Yeah. The thing is... only one of us gets to stay," Lori explained, "And if they choose me, that means Lincoln and Lily will also stay because they are my kids. And plus my boyfriend and Ni-Ni will move in with us."
"And you thought it'd be you and your own kids, Lori?" Lynn asked suspiciously before she viciously bites into a Lincoln pancake.
"Hey, be nice to Lincoln!" Bobby shouted.
"Yeah! You don't want to upset Mom or Dad," Ronnie Anne yelled.
"What happened to 'we all work together'?" Lola asked in fear.
"Okay, look, we're sorry, we just kind of panicked," Lori confessed.
"Dudes, Mom and Dad are talking again," Luna called.
With that, they all rush over to the vent.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll keep the musical one," Lynn Sr. suggested and Luna smiles triumphantly.
"Are you serious, Lynn? That one really makes my ears bleed!" Rita complained.
Luna was now heartbroken but her siblings, Bobby, Lincoln, Lily and Ronnie Anne all console her.
"Well, I definitely don't need the dark one," Lynn Sr. replied, "So dreary. Good for a funeral, but what else, really? Right?"
Lucy gasps, thinking that Lynn Sr. meant he doesn't want her and Lynn laughs at her. Suddenly, Ronnie Anne angrily punches her in the arm.
"Don't laugh! It's not funny!" Ronnie Anne yelled at the athlete before she turned to Lucy, "It's OK, Lucy, don't listen to mean old Lynn."
"I know we aren't gonna keep the one with the hockey sticks, right?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"No, her sports obsession caused a lot of damage here in the house for the past few years," Rita agreed but Lynn gasps and starts whimpering like a dog.
"Yep. Doesn't feel so good now, does it?" Bobby asked.
"Same with the filthy one," Rita added, Lana gasps and starts weeping.
"We aren't gonna keep the funny one, either," Lynn Sr. added.
"I agree, Lynn! Her jokes aren't funny! So we're not keeping her!" Rita agreed but Luan then is left sulking and starts shedding tears that fall down her cheeks.
"That's no fun," Luan cried.
"Ugh. Now the pink one I can definitely do without," Lynn Sr. agreed with Rita.
"You will PAY FOR THIS!" Lola screamed before Lori slapped her on the back.
"WILL YOU CUT IT OUT, LOLA?!" Lori yelled back at Lola which frightened her.
"You know, I'd also feel a little guilty about tossing out the gifted one," Lynn Sr. confessed and Lisa seems pretty sad that the comment presumably reflect on her.
"Oh, who's gonna know? So where does that leave us?" Rita asked but the girls realize there's only one left and it's the oldest of them all, Lori.
"Lori, I believe it leaves with you and your kids Lily and Lincoln.. But what do I know? I'm just the gifted one," Lisa replied sadly.
The girls are all furious at this decision which Lori and her kids can't help with.
At that moment, the three of them fantasize what it would be like if Lori, Lincoln and Lily had the house all to themselves. Inside, Bobby and Ronnie Anne were now with them and the five were all dressed like the Simpson family, with Bobby wearing a white polo shirt, blue jeans and gray shoes to resemble, Lori wearing a red necklace, green dress and red slippers to resemble Marge Simpson, Lincoln wearing scarlet T-shirt and blue pants to resemble Bart Simpson, Ronnie Anne wearing white necklace, orange dress and slippers to resemble Lisa Simpson and Lily wearing blue foot pajamas to resemble.
"Well, guys, now that we've cleared out the clutter, we've got a lot of extra space in the house!" Lynn Sr. explained, "And it's all yours, Lori. You, your beloved Bobby and your kids Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Lily."
"Thanks, Mom and Dad, the house is all ours now," Lori added.
"And we can all take it from here since Lori and I are now living together in the house," Bobby replied in happiness.
"Well, have fun with it," Rita replied.
Lynn Sr. throws out everything that reminds him of his eight former daughters, even the picture all eleven kids took for their parents' anniversary and replaces it with a gilded photo of their golden daughter, her boyfriend and their beloved adopted children.
What used to be Lori and Leni's bedroom is now Bobby and Lori's master bedroom.
What used to be Luna and Luan's Room is now Lincoln's new bedroom.
What was once Lucy and Lynn's room is now Ronnie Anne's new bedroom.
What was once Lincoln's old bedroom was now a theater room for the family.
What used to be Lisa and Lily's bedroom together was now Lily's solo bedroom.
And what was once the twins' bedroom was now a family room for them, as Bobby, Lori, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Lily and Clyde were all hanging out togethertogether.
"Hi, guys. Well, Lori. Welcome to the Only Child Club," Clyde explained.
"I'm their only child now and plus, Bobby and I are going to get married soon," Lori said happily, "So that means Lincoln's got two sisters now and Bobby and I are taking good care of them."
The fantasy ends and the three were still dreaming.
"Wow...I've always wonder what it would be like for me and Lily and my mother to be the only ones in this house," Lincoln dreamed.
"Yeah, just think about it. You and me, and Bobby, and Ni-Ni, and even Lily all having the entire house to ourselves. So that we would have a big family-style house in the upstairs section," Lori agreed while dreaming.
"Family time," Lily dreamed as well.
"YOU WHAT?!" Lola screamed, causing Lori, Lily and Lincoln to all snap out of it, "Wait, actually, being an only child is gonna be a bit rough! What are the kids and I gonna do without you guys?
"Well, I guess we'd better go pack. Bobby, Lori, we'll accept your offers," Leni replied as the girls leave the bathroom forlornly, "I'm still believing that I'm the one that's phone-addicted and an aerobic lover somehow."
As they leave, Lincoln cheerfully closes the door and measures the size of the bathroom with Bobby, Lori, Lily and Ronnie Anne all helping out.
"Come on, everybody. Help me measure the size of the bathroom. I wonder if I could fit a water slide in here?" Lincoln asked.
"But, Lincoln, won't you miss the other girls?" Ronnie Anne asked him, "I know, I'd miss all those times when I was pranking them if they were getting kicked out. Even if Luan does get on my nerves."
"Sure, I'll miss my sisters, but think about it, No more sisters meddling in my life or my kids' lives, No more sisters taking stuff from us even when we got them first, No more sisters making fun of us and teasing us, No more sisters messing up our plans, and best of all, we get the place all to ourselves," Lori dreamed.
"Yeah, and that means more family life here in this house," Bobby added.
"Yep, you said it, Dad," Lincoln agreed.
"Uh huh, and the kids going to have a wonderful life when it's just you, me and our three kids all together as a family," Lori explained.
As they measures, the conversation between the Loud parents continues.
"I'm sorry, honey, but I just can't pick a favorite. It's too hard," Lynn Sr. complained.
"Fine. Can we at least just get rid of one? Just one? I'm begging you," Rita suggested.
"Okay, we'll get rid of, uh...the one with the white hair," Lincoln and his parents Bobby and Lori were all left in sudden shock. Lynn Sr. words worry Lincoln since he's the one with the white hair.
"Oh no. What did he say?" Lori said in fear.
"You know, I'm not even sure if it's mine," Lynn Sr. agreed.
Those words are the final nail in the coffin that makes Lincoln believe he's the one they're gonna force to leave. Lori then decided to go with him since she's his mother as she and Lincoln both leave the bathroom in a great depression with a superimposed image of their walk over the scene. It turns out the folks were talking about the tie with a creepy looking Easter bunny.
"You mean your Easter tie? Honey, no one calls it a "hare". It's a bunny rabbit. But I agree. It's hideous," Rita agreed.
"Oh no. Well, Lincoln. I think we should probably move to Bobby's house now," Lori replied sadly.
Lori and Lincoln have both packed up their things in some luggage and Lori called her sisters into what will soon no longer be Lincoln's room and Lincoln assisted in going with her.
"You may be wondering why Lincoln and I assembled you all here," Lori explained.
"Uh, yeah. You've got five minutes. I literally have an entire wardrobe to pack," Leni replied.
"Don't bother. Mom and I both overheard another conversation between your Mom and Dad," Lincoln replied but the girls chastise him and Lori for eavesdropping even further Bobby then decided to break up the fight.
"Wait girls, let us explain. Our mother and father aren't choosing a favorite kid to keep," Bobby explained.
"They're just getting rid of one, me," Lincoln replied sadly but the girls gasp in shock.
"And since they're gonna get rid of you, Lincoln, I'm afraid I have to leave with you, Lincoln, and it looks like Lily's going to have to come with us, too," Lori agreed with Lincoln and the girls were now in a state of despair, "So, you know. The kids and I both wanted to give you guys our treasured possessions before the three of us have to leave and move in with Bobby. Oh, and we may give Lily something along for the ride, too," Lori then turns to Lily and gives her the stuffed rabbit, "Lily, my special little girl, this is Bun-Bun. He needs two hugs a day, and... just please make sure to keep his ears clean."
Lily then clings onto Bun-Bun like Lincoln did as Lori picked her up and cradled her.
"Luan, these are my rarest comics," Lincoln handed Luan some rare comics but she turns them down.
"Look, Luan, he's saying that they're limited edition comics," Lori explained.
"She's not taking them because you're not leaving. There's no way we're letting Mom and Dad kick you out," Leni confessed to them.
"YEAH! YOU'RE STAYING!" they all shouted in unison.
"What? Really? Even though we were going to turn your rooms into a nice personal Simpsons-styled house?" Lori asked.
The girls then look at both her and the kids shocked but some of them seem to have changed their minds.
"It was nice knowin' you guys," Lola denied as she takes Lincoln's piggy bank.
"Hey!" Lana screamed as she takes the piggy bank back from Lola and returns it to Lori and Lincoln, "Of course we won't let you go. You're my special cousin, Lincoln!"
"You're right," Lincoln realized.
"Yeah, There's no way we're gonna be here without you, Lincoln," Lori said to Lincoln, "If they kicked you out, I'll leave with you and Lily and we'd all live at Bobby's house."
"There's no way we're letting this happen to either of you! Now come on. We're gonna march right down there and tell Mom and Dad you and Lori are both staying!" Leni shouted before they storm over to the parent's room.
"Wow, Lincoln. I didn't think they'd storm to their parents' room," Ronnie Anne said in surprise.
"Come on, everybody! We're telling our mom and dad that we are all staying!" Lori suggested.
In Lynn Sr. and Rita's room...
"Don't you think life will be good without Lincoln?" Lynn Sr. asked Rita.
"Sounds great, honey. Maybe we'll do better if we only had girls in this house," Rita agreed.
Suddenly, the thirteen of them barge into the room with Lori and Bobby having furious and enraging looks on their faces and the parents scream in fear at their infuriating looks.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Lori shouted furiously at her parents, "ARE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING RID OF US RIGHT NOW?! HUH?!"
"We were just about to get rid of the one with the white hair!" Lynn Sr. confessed.
"YOU WHAT?!" They both shouted furiously and Bobby got extremely furious with Lynn Sr., possibly even more furious than Lori.
"YOU REALLY CALL YOURSELF A FATHER FOR THIS BULLCRAP?!" Bobby shouted furiously.
"But Bobby, please, we're just getting rid of..." But Bobby did not believe him and immediately punched him in the face. Rita and the girls except Lori were shocked as Bobby's fist collided with Lynn Sr's cheek as he fell to the floor from the hit.
"Oh my god, Bobby, please!" Rita begged while Lynn Sr. slowly got up with his back in a bit of pain.
Bobby then grabbed Lynn Sr. and spoke with him in an angry tone, "NOW LISTEN HERE AND LISTEN GOOD, YOUNG MAN! IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THROWING LINCOLN OUT OF THE FAMILY, LORI IS GOING TO REPORT YOU TO THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES AS SOON AS SHE FINDS OUT!"
"AND PLUS, IF GRAMPA EVER FINDS OUT THAT YOU'RE GONNA GET RID OF LINCOLN, HE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY ANGRY AT YOU!" Lori shouted furiously, "AND YOUR MOTHER AND SISTER AND AUNT SHIRLEY WOULD BE SO MAD AT YOU IF THEY WERE ALL HERE WITH US! ESPECIALLY YOUR OWN SISTER! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SHE LOVED HER NEPHEW! BUT BE LUCKY THAT AUNT SHIRLEY IS STILL ALIVE THOUGH!"
Rita sheds tears at being remembered of her late mother. Suddenly, all the other girls start demanding that Lincoln should stay.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with his white hair!" Leni demanded angrily.
"Yeah, he's our cousin!" Lynn demanded angrily.
"White hair? You kids like my Easter tie?" Lynn Sr. asked in confusion and confessed as the tie makes a high-pitched laugh, "Yeah. It's great, right? You know what? They all are!" he proceeds to look at his collection which shows themes similar to his daughters, "Honey, I'm not getting rid of any of these ties!"
"Ties? You guys have been talking about ties this whole time?!" Ronnie Anne asked in anger.
"Of course. What did you think we were talking about?" Rita replied.
"Why were you thinking about getting rid of me?! You both thought I was hideous!" Lincoln shouted in anger..
"Lincoln! Please don't say that!" Lori said in fear.
"WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GET RID OF US!" Lola said in fear but their parents laugh at such a thought.
"Oh, we would never do that. You're the best ten things that ever happened to us," Rita confessed.
"Ahem! There's eleven of us!" Lori said angrily at her mother.
"Yep. Right," Rita realized.
The girls are relieved that it was all just a misunderstanding. But suddenly Lori then looks at her father's Easter tie which laughs again.
"Whoof! Dad really should get rid of that one, kid," Lori was crept out.
"Yeah, Mom. I think he should. It's just unnerving," Lincoln agreed.
Later at night, after the whole misunderstanding was cleared up, everyone was now in bed sleeping. Everyone that is, except Lincoln, as he and Ronnie Anne were lying in Leni's bed with a solemn look on his face while Ronnie Anne was sleeping in Leni's bed.
"Lincoln, what's wrong?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Look, Mom and I feel really awful after today. Not just because we eavesdropped on her parents, but we acted really selfish," Lincoln replied quietly, "When I thought they were only going to let one of us stay here, Mom and I tried to convinced her mom and dad to let us stay. Then when we thought that I might be the one who was staying, I actually thought of the idea of me as an only child... and liked it. I feel like the worst brother, son or cousin, created by humankind."
"Hey, don't say that, dear. You're just what I really need for an adopted son like you," Lori said softly as she kissed him on the forehead.
"Thanks Mom. But it just isn't enough," Lincoln replied sorrowfully.
"Well, to be fair, Mom, you and Lincoln did give some good reasons on why you would feel that way," Ronnie Anne explained quietly.
"Yeah, and despite that, they tried to defend us and protest them to let us stay. I don't know why though," Lori replied softly.
"Yeah, me neither," Bobby replied.
"None of us know why," Ronnie Anne added.
"You know, I think we need to find a way to make it up to them," Lincoln suggested.
"Son, I'm sure that we'll all think of something," Bobby replied.
Suddenly, Lincoln comes up with something.
"I think I know what we could do. It might not work, but it's worth a shot," Lincoln explained.
"Don't worry, everybody. Just be yourself. Even you, mother," Ronnie Anne replied.
"No problem, little girl," Lori giggled before they went back to sleep.
Monday, August 26, 1986
That morning, the sisters wake up and exit their rooms. Once they got out of their rooms, they smell something good.
"What's that scent? It smells delicious!" Lynn woke up in surprise before the sisters run downstairs to the dining room and see eleven plates of food on the table. Each plate has pancakes, eggs, and bacon on them. They were just amazed by it.
"Whoa! Who made all this?" Luna asked in surprise.
"Is this for us?" Luan asked in surprise.
"Say, what's this card here at the table?" Leni asked in surprise before she notices a card at the center of the table, picks it up, and reads it out loud.
"To, my nine awesome siblings: I hope you enjoy this breakfast we made. It might not be much, but I hope this makes up for how much of a jerk we were yesterday.' - From yours truly, Lori, Bobby and our beautiful kids, Lincoln and Lily.
The sisters smile, as they look at the doorway to the living kitchen and see Lincoln, Lily and their parents Bobby and Lori.
"Wow. You really did this for us?" Lucy asked in surprise.
"Yeah. Mom and I both feel awful about how selfish we were yesterday," Lincoln replied sorrowfully.
"Yeah, so the kids, Bobby and I all wanted to do something for you to show you how sorry we all were," Lori replied sorrowfully.
"Oh, guys. We're not mad about that. We're totally over it. Right, girls?" Leni asked and the other sisters nod in agreement.
"So none of you are mad?" Lincoln asked in surprise.
"Well, we might have been a little mad at first. But we really appreciate this breakfast you made us. It was really thoughtful," Luan replied softly.
"And honestly, it's not like none of us ever thought about being an only child. Sometimes, I wondered what my life would be like if it were just me and the kids. But then I realize, my life would be pretty lonesome without all of you, but at least I still got Lincoln and Lily with me. And even my dear honey Bobby Boo-Boo Bear," Lori replied softly before she and Bobby kiss each other in the lips.
"You know, Lana gets on my nerves a lot. Sometimes I wonder if my life would be better if I didn't have a twin," Lola said sorrowfully.
"Me, too," Lana agreed.
"But after everything that happened yesterday, I wouldn't trade her for anything," Lola replied softly.
"I feel the same way," Lana agreed softly and the twins hug one another.
"I was wondering. Why did you guys try to defend me?" Lincoln asked.
"You're very special to the rest of us. Things wouldn't be the same if you were gone. We love you, bro," Luna said softly to Lincoln.
"What did I do to deserve you as the other girls in the family? I love you guys too. Just as much as your parent figures, who are my mom and dad, and even my sister Lily," Lincoln smiled and they all hug each other for a few seconds.
Just then, they hear some quiet crying. They go behind the couch to find Ronnie Anne crying.
"Ronnie Anne?" Lori asked her.
"Ni-Ni?" Bobby asked her.
"Ronnie Anne, are you crying?" Lincoln asked her.
"No, I wasn't crying! I-I-I just… had something… in my eyes! Yeah, that's it!" Ronnie Anne tried to hide it.
The siblings then look at Ronnie Anne with sympathetic looks on their faces as Lori holds out her arms.
"Come here, darling," Lori said softly to her.
Without hesitation, Ronnie Anne then came to them and started hugging them as it lasted for a few minutes.
"Thanks, mom. I guess I needed that," Ronnie Anne replied quietly.
"No problem, girl," Lori replied.
"Hey, you feeling better?" Bobby asked.
"I think so, Daddy," Ronnie Anne replied.
"Now, come on, Mom, Dad, Lily and Ronnie. Let's go eat our breakfast before it gets cold," Lincoln replied.
"Hey, Ronnie Anne. It would be nice if you sit next to me and Lily," Lori suggested softly.
"Really, Mom?!" Ronnie Anne asked in excitement.
"Of course, dear," Lori agreed and she holds Ronnie Anne's hand, as Lori felt like she actually has two daughters of hers now, as the five of them go to sit down.
Later, the thirteen of them were now eating breakfast together.
"Hey, guys! I think we should all get us a picture here together," Lori got an idea before she brings out her camera and puts it on a tripod as everybody gets in the frame, "Okay, guys. I'm gonna get us a picture of us all together. Everybody smile now. Here we go. Here we go. Heeeere we go."
They all smile and Lori and Bobby hold hands with one another just as the picture gets taken. And with that the photo was taken, a flash of light occurs and it then shows Lori's hand taping the photo saying "A large family breakfast together!" into their photo album before closing the album up.
