At the football field at the Royal Woods Middle School, Lynn came running onto to the field where four of her friends, Margo, Lainey, Nadia, and Maddie were.
Lainey: Did you know about the Royal Woods Kangaroos winning the most recent championship?
Nadia: Yes, and I've heard about the Squirrels making a comeback.
When Lynn got there, she had some great news to tell them...
Lynn: (excited) Hey girls, guess who's going to a sleepover tonight?
Maddie: Who?
Lynn: (points to herself) This girl!
(Lynn dances around the four girls)
Margo: Wow, that's great, Lynn.
Lynn: Yeah, I guess I'm still popular around here.
Maddie: Who invited you?
Lynn: The true queen of roller derby, Polly Pain!
Lainey: Whoa, she's at the top of the sport.
Lynn: It's great. The one thing I'd like to do is make this the perfect sleepover ever. But how could I do that?
Just then, Polly Pain came up behind Lynn, and tapped her...
Polly: Hello, Lynn! Ready for the sleepover tonight?
Lynn: You bet, Polly!
Lynn runs off the field. Seconds later, she has on her backpack and sleeping bag...
Polly: Looks like you already are prepared for this.
Margo: Anyway, where is this perfect sleepover gonna be at, Lynn?
Lynn is stunned. She thinks about it for a few minutes.
Lynn: Wow, I didn't think of that. But I'm sure I can think of a place we can go.
Shortly after, Lynn went back to the Loud House to ask her parents if she and some of her friends could have their sleepover there tonight. When she got inside, though, she saw her mom with several other people sitting down with a book in the living room...
Rita: Sweetie, how was school?
Lynn: Oh, it was fine. Mom. But I like to know if me and some friends of mine could have our sleepover here tonight?
Rita: Oh, sure, we could have some more people joining our book club!
Lynn: (confused) Book club?
Rita: Yes, tonight, my book club is taking place here tonight, because the library was closed today for inspection.
Another Woman: Tonight, we're going to read a classic story by Leo Tolstoy, called 'War and Peace.'
Rita: The TV won't be available until 10:00 tonight, but you and your friends are all welcome to join us in reading this book, and then we'll talk about it afterwards.
Lynn stared blankly, in shock, then closed the door. She then walked back to the field, where Polly was waiting...
Polly: So, you ready?
Lynn: Yeah. But we need another place to go besides my house to have the sleepover. Let's just say... Mom is going to be busy tonight.
Polly: Well, let's get the other kids I invited, and you can think about where we can have the sleepover.
The two girls went to pick up Polly's other three friends for the sleepover: a boy with short dark brown hair, black eyes, a tan polo shirt, and dark brown pants, named Lucas, and 2 girls: one had blonde hair tied in a ponytail, has blue eyes, wears a long-sleeved green shirt, blue pants, and brown sandals, named Susan, and the other one, who has short, chin-length black hair, and is wearing a white t-shirt, blue shorts, white socks, and sneakers named Leora. She weighed 285 pounds, and is obese, (her body looked round-shaped, with her girth bulging over the waistband of her shorts,) but she is still strong enough to go roller skating.
Lynn: (whispers to Polly) Okay, does Leora eat a lot?
Polly: (whispers back, and nods) Yes. Unfortunately, food sometimes is a problem for her.
Lynn notes to herself that she'll soon need to help Leora lose some weight.
Polly: Oh, I almost forgot! Did you think of another place where we could have our sleepover?
Lynn: Yes, I did. How about we go to the Royal Woods Mall?!
Susan: Isn't it a little late to go shopping?
Polly: Lynn meant that we should have our sleepover there.
Lynn: Yeah, my family spent the night there once when that major storm happened.
Leora: I hope there's good food there tonight!
The 5 girls walked to the Royal Woods Mall, and when they got inside, they saw that the mall was busy, with so many people walking...
Lynn: Dang it! This place is too crowded to sleep in!
Leora: Could we at least get some food?
Polly replied, and said, 'Come on, let's go to the food court to get something to eat.'
Afterwards, as the sun was setting, they got to Flip's Food and Fuel...
Lucas: Okay, this is the place!
Lynn: Oh, crud, I forgot! If Flip sees us here, he'll charge us a hefty sum for sleeping here!
Susan: (slyly) Not if we sneak inside, then leave before he gets here...
Lynn turned to Susan, with a knowing look... 'I like the way you think.'
Polly: (hesitant) Wait a minute, are you sure you want to break inside someone's place of business, just so we can sleep there?!
Lynn: (pat's Polly's back) Polly, think about it this way. You want this to the best sleepover you've ever had, right?
Polly: Well... yeah...
Lynn: Think about it this way: imagine how cool you'd be to everyone if you had your sleepover at Flip's, right.
Polly though about it for a while. Reluctantly, she said, 'There's no sign of Flip here now, right.'
Lynn looked around, and said, 'It seems like he's sound asleep.'
Polly: (sighs) Okay, let's go for it.
All the kids smiled. Just then, Lynn saw an air vent...
Lynn: I see an air vent that leads into Flip's! Everyone, climb in!
Lynn stayed behind to make sure everyone got inside before she did. First Polly went in, then Lucas, and then Susan. They made it through the vent fairly easy. However, when it was Leora's turn, it was a different story...
Leora: (squeezing through the air vent) Alright, I'm almost there!
Lynn: (from outside) You can make it, Leora!
Leora got inside the Food and Fuel, but to her shock, only her front half made it...
Leora: What the...!
She tried to push through, but unfortunately for her, she was stuck!
Leora: Oh, no, I'm stuck! Get me out!
Polly, Lucas, and Susan saw that her body was wedged like a circle in the air vent. They all pulled together to try to get Leora out, with her also trying to thrust her body forward, but even with all their strength, she wouldn't budge. Outside, Lynn finally realized something...
Lynn: Oh, dang it, I forgot! The air vent is too small to fit for Leora all the way through!
Lynn then went inside the vent, and got to where Leora's legs were, near the end. She tried pushing her out with both her hands, then her back, but Leora didn't budge.
Lynn: (groans) Oh, wow, Leora, you're really stuck in there!
Leora: I know! What am I going to do!
After thinking for about a minute, Lynn had an idea...
Lynn: Polly, can you and your friends hear me?!
Polly: Yes, Lynn, we're trying to figure out how we can get Leora through!
Susan: This vent was too small for her to just climb inside!
Lynn: (sighs) Yes, Susan, I already know that. But I know a way we can get Leora out!
Lucas: What is it?
Lynn: We should all push and pull her through together!
Lucas: That actually makes sense, Lynn.
Polly: Okay, then, let's do it!
Polly and Susan grabbed Leora's hands, while Lucas was holding the two girls. Meanwhile, Lynn put her hands on Leora's butt...
Lynn: Okay, everyone, pull!
Lynn pushed Leora inside the vent while everyone else pulled her from the outside. After about a minute, Leora broke free, out of the vent, and landed onto the kids. (Except for Lynn, who rushed forward on top of her)
Polly: Alright, we've made it in! Now please get off of us so we can start this perfect sleepover!
Leora: Oops, sorry, guys!
Lynn and Leora got off Polly, Susan, and Lucas, and helped them off the ground. Just as they were about to start their sleepover, unexpectedly, they saw a shadowy figure outside the door...
Susan: (whispers) Oh, no, Flip's here!
Lucas: (whispers) We've got to hide!
All the kids quickly found places in the Food and Fuel to hide at, just as Flip unlocked the door, and walked inside to his back office. They remained quiet until Flip was gone, but had to whisper to each other so he wouldn't hear them...
Polly: Of course, Flip had to show up at this time!
Susan: Where are we going to do now?
Lynn: (sighs) This doesn't seem like the best place to have our sleepover after all. We got to get out of here before Flip catches us!
Lucas: We can't just walk out through the doors now. He would hear the door open because the store is closed and, as far as he knows, he's the only one in here.
Lynn: The only way to get out without Flip seeing us is to crawl back out through the air vent.
Margo: (groans softly) I just got through there!
Lynn: Sorry, Leora, but that's our only way out without being detected. If Flip catches us in here, he charge us a hefty sum of money for trying to have our sleepover here!
Polly: More likely, he'll call the cops because he'll think we snuck in here to take his money.
Leora: (sighs in disappointment) Alright, then. Let's get back outside.
Polly, Lucas, and Susan went back outside through the air vent, with Lynn and Leora following behind them. Leora stopped near the end of the vent...
Leora: (to himself) Maybe I'll have better luck leaving the vent the second time around.
She squeezed through the vent as best as she could, but unfortunately, but was stuck again...
Leora: Oh, I thought I'd get out more easier this time!
Lynn: Leora, you really need to work out more!
Once again, Polly, Susan, and Lucas took Leora's hands, and try to pull her out, while Lynn again pushed Leora with her hands. Successfully, they got her outside, and the kids ran away, far from Flip's Food and Fuel before making their next move...
