Several hours of sneaking around their parents, wandering all of Royal Woods as they soon stopped by the Police Department, knowing full well what they're parents might be up to. Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan were spying on them from the top floor of an abandoned building and as the gazed upon their mom and dad, with Rita holding Lily while watching Lynn, who were speaking to a police officer, no doubt about their disappearance.

Leni:"Uh...don't you guys think this is getting a little out hand?"

Lori:"What makes you say that? We're just making sure they're not getting anywhere near Lincoln."

Leni:"I know. But we've been spying on them all day, and I'm afraid of what might happen to Linky, since we left him all alone.

Luna:"He'll be fine, Leni. The kid's smart."

Luan:"Yeah, he's probably nowhere near them."

But then, they could see Lincoln, Ashe, Diane, Zella and Francine running down the street, not too far away from where mom and dad were. They looked out of breath.

Diane:""Probably...shouldn't have...ran all the way...here."

Lincoln:"Well...too late now."

He could see his sister Lori waving them over from the building and they all soon met up inside.

Lori:"What are you guys doing here?!"

Ashe:"Oh, nothing! We just decided to come here for no reason."

Zella:"Yeah! It's not goons broke into your home or anything!"

Sisters:"WHAT!"

Lincoln:"It's true. Some thugs broke in and tried to hurt us."

Lori:"Are any of you guys alright?"

Francine:"We're fine, but we had to run all the way here since we didn't have a car!"

Leni:"Those thugs wouldn't have happened to've destroyed any of our rooms, would they?"

Ashe:"Well...not yours, Leni, but...heh, heh. A few."

The girls were all too shocked by this..

Diane:"Look, none of that matters right now! We have to get to Great Lake City! Our Hotel there's the one place they haven't compromised."

Ashe:"And since none of us have a car...we're gonna have to go on foot."

They're mouths were even more agape than before as they were shocked and a little bit angered by the news. They all started to complain.

Luna:"Great Lake City is only 3 hours away by car!"

Leni:"I'm sorry to use an outdated street term, but this is WHACK!"

Lori:"I literally don't see as to why we can't all just take a car!"

Ashe:"Alright, alright, alright! Look, I'm not crazy about walking miles and miles to another town, but it's our best and only chance!"

Lori:"But we still need to keep an eye on our parents!"

Ashe:"And we will! It'll just...take some time.

Speaking of whom, Rita and Lynn Sr were getting nowhere with the cop their were talking too.

Lynn Sr:"Sir, you're not listening to us! Our kids have gone missing, and we need you to find them!"

Cop:"Oh please. You expect me to believe that you have 11 kids and 5 of them have all managed to give you the slip?"

Rita:"Are you new here or something? Our kids are practically infamous."

Cop:"Yeah. Right. Look, I got other problems to deal with. REAL problems. So, why don't you go deal with this 'missing kids' problem of yours elsewhere."

The group managed to sneak by as they were shocked to see Rita give Lily as she grabbed the corrupt police officer by the collar.

Rita:"You listen and you listen good! I need to find my kids! And if you're not gonna do anything about it, then you're gonna find out how much of a 'REAL problem' I can be!"

Lynn Sr. covered Lily's eyes, not wanting his baby daughter to witness his mother's fury. But pretty soon, the kids had found themselves in another alleyway, near the edge of town. But still near to where their parents were.

Ashe:"This is it. We have a long journey ahead of us. We won't rest until we reach Great Lake City."

Luan:"(groans) This is gonna be a long walk."

Zella:"It's not gonna be easy. Given how they're a vast forest out there."

Lincoln:"And the fact that creep who's after Ashe is still out there too!"

Ashe:"With any luck, we'll make it through this unscathed. Now, let's go!"

And with that, they left town on foot.

Meanwhile, already a Great Lake City, Reginald in his goons were making their way back to the little hideout. And Abandoned Community Center, where Reginald has set up shop. The payment was gray, the walls are dark and the plants around the entrances were overgrown and unkept. Walking a small flight of stairs, Reginald angrily unlocks the door while all his minions followed behind him.

Reginald:"We were so close today and we just blew it!"

Hal:" How were we supposed to know that chick was a ninja with a blade?!"

Reginald:"Just…drop it. I need to figure out where she went!"

As they walked in the, the place was almost in a state of decay, given how it hasn't been looked after in years. While Reginald marches deeper into another part of the building, his minions go to what used to be a break room and relax for why little time that they can have. The break room was jus like the rest of the place, dirty floors, boarded up windows, some old furniture, three vending machines in the corner and a tv hangin onto the wall. Hall tried turning the tv on, and it should the show "Dream Boat" for a few second before only static was on screen.

Hal:"Well, that figures."

Back to Reginald, he walked to a huge room, that must've been like a presentation room, given how it had a stage with a runway. But where the curtains used to be now hanged computer screens surrounding a huge monitor that was showing a digital map trying to locate something…or someone. Along with that was an army of finely dressed business men, all of whom worked for Reginald. The one working on the giant monitor was Reginald's girlfriend and second in command, Coraline, who was an expert hacker and professional lawyer. She had brown skin and black hair, having her hair in a bun as she was dressed as a secretary wearing red glasses with clear lenses. Reginald walked over to her, watching the screen while doing so.

Reginald:"We lost her again. I need you to triangulate her location."

Coraline:"You know, I often wonder if you have a crush on that girl."

Reginald:"You know I don't. She's worth a lot of money."

Coraline:"Yeah, about that, her price dropped last month."

Reginald:"Just locate her!"

Sighing, Caroline did as she was told as she began to locate Ashe. She gave a surprised look as to where on the map did it point to Ashe's location.

Caroline:"Looks like she's coming to us. It says here, she's heading to Great Lake City."

Reginald:"Then this could be our chance to strike then."

Caroline:"(scratches his chin) Do you have to, baby? You just got back."

Reginald:"Now's not the time."

Then Reginald walks up to the runway of the stage, making Caroline sigh as he obnoxious excuse of a boyfriend pulled a whistle and blew it, getting everyone attention.

Reginald:"LOCK ONTO THOSE COORDINATES! THIS TIME, WE GET HER FOR SURE!"

The business men did as they were told, typing rapidly on their computers as they made sure Ashe's coordinates were completely locked on. His minions also entered the room, having heard that incredibly loud whistle from the break room.

Reginald:"You five! We're heading out! Immediately!"

They all groaned in annoyance as they knew there was no stopping him.

It was nighttime and the group was busy walking down the road to Great Lake City, hearing the sounds of nature around them. Ashe was caring Lincoln piggyback style as he had fallen asleep on a while ago, and the girls had found it adorable.

Leni:"Lincoln looks so cute sleeping like that."

Diane:"I agree."

Francine:"Hmph. Just imagine Lincoln sleeping against you butt like a pillow."

Diane:"Enough…butt jokes. And just for the record, I don't want anybody using my butt as a pillow!"

Ashe:"Would you guys shut up and let Lincoln sleep? He's saying something."

Lincoln:"(mumbling) Mmm…Jordan."

Lori:"So, that's who Lincoln has a crush on."

And of nowhere, Lincoln leans up to Ashe and kisses her on the cheek while sleeping. Not that she was complaining, liking the affection coming from her little cousin. But, Luna groaned in exhaustion.

Luna:"How much longer until Great Lake City?"

Francine:"(looks at her watch) …12 more hours."

The Loud Sisters groan in annoyance in exhaustion. If that wasn't the worst part, the next thing they saw on the road was a huge tree that fell overboard and was blocking the path.

Luna:"Great. How are we gonna get past this?

Ashe:"We can probably climb it."

Luan:"Or head underneath."

Lori:"Or, we could just go around it and save us the trouble."

Zella:"Ah, but where the fun in that?"

And so, Ashe and Zella climb up the log, with Ashe being extra careful, still having Lincoln having on his back. Lori, Leni and Luna go around the log while Luan, Diane and Francine head underneath. And, surprise, suprise! Guess who gets stuck.

Diane:"Oh, for the love of…"

Francine:"Just shut up and let me push."

Luan:"I'll help out. Give me your hands."

Francine pushed on Diane's bottom with both hands while Luan pulls her by the wrist to get her though, bracing her right foot against the log foot while doing so. All the while, Diane complain while feeling like she's in pain.

Diane:"Rrr! Why did this tree have to be here!?"

Francine:" Just be glad there are no cars coming. Most drivers I've seen don't know how to stop."

Luan:"…That explains Lori always takes different routes whenever she head to the city."

Luna:"Yeah. Remember last time?"

Lori:"That truck nearly killed us."

After some pushing and pulling, they finally manage to get Diane through and soon, they were all on the other side of the log. But then…

Zella:"…Anybody else hear a truck?"

They heard the sound of engine, then tires screeching…then a crash happening directly at the other side of the log. The stepped back at the tree rolled a few feet towards them, and watched as a fire broke out on the other side of the log.

Lori:"…Yep. That's literal what happened last time."

Leni:"I hope those people are okay."

Zella:"Judging by that fire, I'd say they have a fifty percent chance of making it out of there in one piece."

Ashe:"I'm suprised that explosion didn't wake up Lincoln here."

The white-haired was still sound asleep, slump on Ashe's back.

Luna:"Yeah. It's not often that Lincoln's a heavy sleeper."

Lori:"He must've had one heck of a day."

Ashe:"As we all did."

Zella:"Let's just go before anymore cars come our way."

As they said that, red and blue headlights came flashing their way as they turn to see a cop car coming down the road from Great Lake City. Inside, the two cops were enjoying a coffee and a snack when the one in the passenger seat suddenly thought of something.

Cop 1:"Hey, did you manage to get the breaks fixed like I asked you too?"

Cop 2:"...I might've forgot about that."

The group saw the cop car begin to swear as it tried to stop itself. But it was not slowing down.

Lori:"INCOMING!"

The jump off the road as the car comes and crashes into the side of the tree, causing a bit of an explosion as the group saw it burst into flames on impact.

Zella:"...Okay. Let's stay off the road for a while."

Lori:"Agreed."

Luna:"So, we're gonna have to walk through the woods?"

Francine:"I don't have a problem with that."

Diane:"You wouldn't."

Ashe:"Either way, we'll still be able to make it to Great Lake City safely."

Zella:"Isn't roaming through the woods kinda dangerous at night?"

Leni:"Oh, come on. What's the worse that can happen?"

Just as she said that, they hear the sound of a bear growling, which made them all stay very still for a few seconds...until Leni let a shout and ran another direction from all the bear sounds. It was enough to wake Lincoln up, who wasn't sure what was happening right now.

Lincoln:"Huh? What's going on?"

Zella:"Right now, we're running kid!"

Lori:"Leni, you freaking dunderhead! That bear's gonna be the least of your problems when I get my hands on you!"

After a little while of running, the group managed to get themselves lost as they ran into a thicker part of the forest. And at that point, they lost sight of Leni...

Lori:"Where'd she go!?"

Luna:"(looks up) Gah! She climbed up that tree!"

Lori:"Leni, why are you up in that tree?"

Leni:"I'm very scared!"

Diane:"How'd even get up there!"

Leni:"I just kept running and couldn't stop until I grabbed the branch!"

Ashe:"Come down from there!"

Leni:"No!"

Zella:"I'll get her."

Zella walks through some tall bushes towards the tree Leni was at.

Lincoln:"Uh, guys? Where even are we right now?"

Lori:"We don't know. We just kept chasing down Leni until we got-"

And then, they hear the sound of tree branches snapping and Leni screaming before she lands onto the ground, still hugging the tree branch she was hanging from.

Francine:"What happened?!"

Zella:"I got her out of the tree. I just elbowed the base, the branch snapped and down she came."

Lori:"Okay. Now, that that's all settled, Leni, you shouldn't have gotten all freaked out after hearing a short little growl."

Ashe:"You ended up waking up Lincoln, and now, you got us hopelessly lost!"

Leni:"...I'm sorry. I should've known better. I'm also sorry for waking you up, Lincoln."

Lincoln:"It's okay. It's not that big a deal. I...probably would've freak out too."

Zella:"So now what we gonna do?"

Lori:"We're just gonna have to find our way out of the woods before reaching Great Lake City."

Ashe:"Until then, why don't we set up camp?"

Diane:"Out here?"

Ashe:"Yeah. Our own little campout where we'll be ruffing it hard."

Lincoln:"Works for me."

Luna:"But what are we gonna do for food?"

Zella:"Leave that to me."

Ashe:"Great. Now the rest of us will set up camp, gather firewood and everything else."

Francine:"Lets do it."

And with that, they found a proper clearing for them to set up camp and got to work right away. Ashe took Lincoln under her wing and taught him what she knew about living off the grid. They started off with carving wood into stakes as Ashe used her Tantō to do it she showed Lincoln how. Then she gave him a turn, to which Lincoln ended up cutting the wood in half with the blade. They had a good laugh about that. Next, started to build a shelter using some dead branches with a little help from Francine. However, she pointed out something missing.

Francine:"Hey, what are we gonna use for a drape?"

Luan:"Leave that to me!"

Reaching into her shoe, Luan pulled out a large colorful rag that was enough to cover the makeshift shelter completely.

Francine:"Where did she…?"

Lincoln:"My mother taught her that one."

Francine:"She knows magic?"

Lincoln:"Nope. She just pulled it from the sink."

Francine:"Ew."

As the secure the drape over the shelter, Ashe and Lincoln look at each other and smile. Next was starting a campfire, which Diane volunteered to be a part of. But with little to no camp experience, Lincoln and Ashe watched awkwardly as Diane frantically rubbed two sticks together in an attempt to start a fire. After five minutes, Diane threw the sticks down in a fit of anger.

Diane:"I'm not a dang cavewoman! This stuff is impossible to do!"

Then Lincoln grabbed two rocks together and grinded them together, causing sparks to fly as their set up burst into flames up as the three of them moved back a little. Surprised by what happened Diane turned away and growled in embarrassment. Lincoln and Ashe smirked as Lincoln leaned next to Ashe as she felt a pair of…boney arms around her? She looked to see monstrous tree branch arms wrapped around her, which scares her, scrambling away from Lincoln, who reveals to be holding the tree branch arms in his hands. Five seconds of awkward silence later, the two burst into laughter before Ashe scoops up Lincoln hugs him kindly.

After a little while, the group had managed to rest around the campfire, waiting for Zella to come back with any sort of food she could come back with.

Lori:"(stomach grumbles) We're gonna die out here."

Diane:"Stop saying that."

Lori:"Well, i cant help it if it feels true!"

Diane:"You think I'm happy about it?! If i don't get some food in the next five minutes, I'm gonna eat Francine!"

Francine looks at Diane in fear. But luckily, Zella finally shows up with a four fish impales onto a stake.

Zella:"Who's hungry"

Lori:"We are! We've all been hungry for the last for the last hour!"

Zella:"And just for that, you're not getting any fish."

Then she tosses over the food to Ashe, Lincoln, Leni and Diane, who were starting to chow down on their meal while Lori complains.

Lori:"And what are the rest of us gonna eat?!"

Zella:"Would you relax. I also brought some berries."

And just as they were all about to start eating, Diane gave a little burp and tossed aside the picked clean fish skeleton, which landed on Francine's lap as Diane licked her fingers.

Francine:"You disgust me, you know that?"

Diane:"Why? I'm so loveable."

Francine:"Oh, I don't know. Maybe, it's because you eat like a pig and act like a slob."

Diane:"Deal with it."

Francine:"I've been dealing with it for five years."

Ashe:"Alright. Can you two try not to kill each other for once?"

Leni:"Yeah. Let's just appreciate how great this little camp was."

Lori:"Well, as great as it is...I think it's time we go to sleep."

Diane:"Fine by me...Uh, where do we sleep?"

Ashe:"Me and Linc only made the one tent, so the rest of you are gonna find some way to get comfortable."

Francine:"I can think of something for that."

While Lincoln and Ashe took the tent, the rest of the girls mischievously look at Diane, who didn't like we're this was going. Next thing she knew, she was at the bottom of a pile that the girls were using to try and sleep on.

Diane:"I feel smushed."

And while she dealt with that, Lincoln hugged Ashe as they were falling asleep and she didn't mind one bit.

Lincoln:"Ashe?"

Ashe:"Hmm?"

Lincoln:"Can you promise me one thing?"

Ashe:"What's that?"

Lincoln:"When this is over, can we stay together? As family?"

Ashe:"(rubs his head) Of course."

Lincoln:"Thanks. I love you, Ashe."

Ashe:"Love you too, Linc. Goodnight."

Little did they know that they were being watched from a distance. Reginald had followed them to this spot and had spying on them through binoculars.

Reginald:"That's cute. And she even brought a few friends on the road. (pulls out a radio) You guys can take the girls. Leave Ashe and the kid to me..."
