It all starts with J.D. and Varie knocking on the Loud House Door. "Hey guys, come on in," Lincoln says as he opens the door.

"Thank you, Lincoln," J.D. said as he walked inside.

Varie asked, "Where are your sisters?"

"They're around," Lincoln replied.

J.D.'s and Varie's stomachs begin to growl.

"Can we go get a snack?" J.D. asked, blushing with embarrassment.

"Sure," said Lincoln, because he also wanted a snack.

They walked to the kitchen only to discover that Luna was blocking the entrance. "Sorry dudes, the kitchen's off-limits. Lori's in there cooling off. She and Leni had a major throw-down."

"Oh no. How come?" Varie asked, concerned.

"It's complicated, Varie," Luna explained.

"Yes, it's a sad story. But I'm hungry," Lincoln said impatiently.

"Yeah, we're not going to speak to her. We'll simply go in, get something to eat, and leave," J.D. informed her.

Lisa approached them as they were about to enter the kitchen and said, "Do not be concerned, male sibling and male and female friends. You should be able to satisfy your hunger by digging beneath the couch cushions." "See what I scored?" she says, holding a bagel.

"Ooh, an everything bagel," Lincoln says as he bites into the bagel.

Lisa takes the bagel from Lincoln, examines it, and then corrects herself. "Mmm...correction, a plain bagel with lint, dog hair," She then gasps as she sees something on it, "Gadzooks! Is that a booger?"

"I think I'm going to get sick," J.D. said, turning green.

Horrified and disgusted by what he just ate, Lincoln rushes to the bathroom to throw up, and J.D. and Varie follow him.

When Lincoln notices Lana in front of the bathroom, he tells her, "Do not eat the couch bagel."

"Sorry, the bathroom's off-limits. Leni is in there cooling off from the fight," said Lana as she handed Lincoln a bucket. "Here, use this."

"A bucket?" Lincoln asked, gulping at the prospect of using it.

"Don't knock it until you try it," Lana said, shrugging as Lincoln gave her a disapproving look.

Lola, Lynn, Laney, and Lucy are all reading in the living room. J.D., Varie, and Lincoln enter the room with a bowl of popcorn and monster truck fan attire. Varie has a book about fish, and Lincoln is about to take the remote. After staring at J.D. and Lincoln, his sisters, minus Laney, beat them up and continued reading.

"OW! What the heck was that for?! "J.D. asked, yelping in pain from being beaten up for no reason.

"Sorry, TV is off limits," Lynn replied to his question.

Lincoln was irritated because he wanted to watch TV. "Oh, come on! Why?"

"Lori and Leni are on edge. You watching a Monster Truck Rally is not going to help them," responded Lola.

"I don't watch TV; I read books," Varie explained.

"This is ridiculous! What are they even fighting about?" Lincoln asked, throwing his hands up in the air in disbelief.

"Leni and Lori have the same dress, and they won't speak to each other anymore," Laney explained.

Flashback

The sisters (except Lori and Leni) are sitting on the couch, doing their usual things. Lori enters the room and starts yelling excitedly, "Guys! Guys! Guys!" She pulls out the dress that she just bought. "Check out this dress I found at the mall, and it's literally one of a kind," Lori squealed in delight.

"Oooohh..." her sisters exclaimed, adoring the dress.

Leni enters the room with her dress, which looks exactly like Lori's. "O-M-Gosh, you guys! Look at this dress I found at the mall!"

The sisters gasped in shock because Lori and Leni had bought the same dress.

Leni approaches Lori, puzzled, and asks, "Ooohh...when did we put a mirror in the living room?"

"That's not a mirror. That's me! Now go take your dress back!" Lori yelled angrily.

"What? No! You take yours back!" Leni retorted back.

"Wait! Can't we just agree to disagree?" Laney advised, trying to keep the peace between the two.

"Okay. I agree that this dress looks better on me but disagree that it looks better on her!" Lori yelled, pointing to Leni.

"Leni? Well, that dress makes you look like Aunt Ruth!" Leni retorted back at her.

Lori screamed angrily, "Take that back!"

"Take that dress back!" Leni retaliated with a yell of her own. They began growling at one another. "Wait a minute, guys! We should not fight! There's gotta be something I can do to fix this!" said Laney worriedly. "Don't get involved in politics, Lanes," Luna says as she grabs Laney's wrist.

The other sisters whistled and walked upstairs, ignoring Lori and Leni.

End of flashback

Lincoln was surprised that the fight was about and thought it was ridiculous. "Is that all? You've got to be kidding me! On picture day, Clyde and I wore the same shirt, and we didn't care."

Flashback to a school picture day where he and Clyde wore the same shirt.

End of flashback

"It's a sister thing. You wouldn't understand," Lucy told them.

"What color was the dress, Lola?" J.D. wanted to know.

"Hmm. I believe it was an Ocean Blue, but I'm not sure," Lola replied.

"I think they'd both look cute in the same dress," Varie said.

"I agree," J.D. said.

"I should've said that," Laney sighed, "but they wouldn't listen."

"Well, let's go help them work it out. So we can have our house back." Lincoln told everyone, but Lynn stopped him with her hockey stick as he went to stop the fighting. "Oof!" he yelped.

"Negative. In this family, we have a sister fight protocol. Butt out and let them sort it out on their own," Lynn replied, "No," with a shake of her head.

"What is a Sister Fight Protocol?" Varie asked, as she had never heard of it.

"This is something I've heard about. It's a unique family movement that keeps sibling rivalry fights from turning into violent massacres," J.D. elaborated.

"Exactly, and this is the threat level we're at right now: THUNDERSTORM," Lisa agreed as she informed them of the current threat level.

He looks at Lisa's Threat Level Chart, which has an interesting layout.

"Hmm. Lisa, that's an interesting setup. It is based on the same principles as the United States Armed Forces DEFCON System but on a smaller scale. I'm guessing Field of Flowers is DEFCON 5, the lowest level. And Exploding Volcano must be DEFCON 1, the worst level," J.D. responded, looking at the chart.

"Correct. Technically, the lowest is Field of Daisies and the highest is Erupting Volcano," Lisa corrected.

"And since we're at Thunderstorm, we must be at DEFCON 4," Varie responded.

"Exactly," Lisa said, nodding her head.

"Wow. You guys prepared for this," Varie said, impressed.

"Indeed. However, these protocols are never completely effective and always make matters worse," J.D. elaborated.

Varie noticed where he was coming from and blurted, "Oh, man. This protocol demands that this family be torn apart. We must put a stop to this."

"Exactly! But I know I can resolve this! This family needs my voice of reason!" Laney replied.

"Your heart is in the right place, Laney. But you're playing with fire," Lola had warned her.

"But someone needs to go up there and calm them down!" Laney retorted.

"You don't even know what you're doing. Stand down before you have another one of your episodes," Lynn said, trying to get her to see reason.

Laney stood up from where she was sitting and yelled, "You'll see! I'm going to stop this silly feud without the help of your protocol!"

"No, Laney. We will, all of us. Me, Varie, Lincoln, and you. We are vulnerable when we are divided. But we are strong when we work together!" J.D. stated firmly.

They all walked up to Lori and Leni's room, and Lincoln said to the group, "I have a protocol, too! Which is I don't like pooping in a bucket!"

"Also, I have a protocol that I don't like it when two of my best friends get into a fight over something so trivial. Lincoln, did you know about the Sister Fight Protocol before now?" J.D. asked.

"No, I didn't," Lincoln said, shaking his head.

"That's strange. Don't you find it odd that they bothered to inform your younger sisters about it but not you?" Varie was perplexed about why they hadn't told him.

"Yeah, a little bit," Lincoln agreed, noting how strange it was that they hadn't told him.

"Did you know about this, Laney?" J.D. asked.

"Yes, I was. But I've always thought it was a bad idea," Laney replied.

"Can't argue with that," Varie said with a shrug.

"But it doesn't matter because we'll fix it," Lincoln assured them.

Lincoln knocks on Lori and Leni's bedroom door and opens it as they walk in. "Hey, guys. Now look, I know you've been having a little problem, so we-"

"Guys, can you tell Leni that the only way we can work it out is if she takes that dress back to the store?" Lori asked them, ignoring Leni for the moment.

"Come on, it's just a dress," J.D. said, rolling his eyes at how ridiculous they were acting.

"I think you both would look really cute in that," Varie said to the two.

"Aw, thanks Varie, but Laney, can you tell Lori that taffeta makes her look fat?" Leni said to Laney.

"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey! You guys," J.D. said, trying to get their attention.

"WHAT?! How dare you call me fat!?" Lori screamed angrily at being called fat.

"Okay! Let's take a deep breath and think about this for a moment. You two have been very close. Are you going to break it up because you have the same dress?" Laney questioned them, hoping to persuade them to see the light.

"YES!" they both yelled at the same time.

"If Varie and Laney are on your side, Lincoln and J.D. should be on mine!" Lori yelled angrily at Leni.

"No. We're not on anyone's side. We're here to help you guys work it out," J.D. told them reasonably.

"No help needed. I'm just waiting for Leni to apologize to me!" Lori said, folding her arms.

"What?! You're the one who should apologize to me!" Leni yelled, shocked and enraged.

"How can you fight over something so trivial?" Varie exclaimed, shocked at how they were behaving over a dress.

Lori and Leni aren't paying attention to them and continue to argue.

"You know what?! I think blue makes you look washed out," Lori pointed out to Leni.

Leni gasped in outrage and argued back, "Oh yeah?! Well, I think taffy makes you look like Aunt Ruth!"

Lori couldn't believe she had just said that and yelled, "I cannot believe you!"

"I can't believe you more!" Leni retorted back.

"You're the worst sister in the world!"

"You're the worst sister in the Universe!"

Lori and Leni are still arguing with each other. J.D., Varie, Laney, and Lincoln appear terrified as they exit their room and close the door. The other sisters came to the door, angry at them for escalating the fight.

"Ugh, nice work, guys! We told you to stay out of it!" Lynn chastised the group for escalating the fight.

"They didn't even give us a chance to talk, Lynn," J.D. tried to persuade her.

Punching, crashing, screaming and roaring could be heard from Lori and Leni's room, showing that the fight had turned violent.

"Based on rising decibel levels, I'm upping the threat level in the house from Thunderstorm to Hissing Cats," Lisa informed everyone while updating the chart.

"People, we've arrived at DEFCON 3!" exclaimed Varie.

"Sisters, to your stations!" Lisa yelled to the other sisters.

"Uh, what's going on?" Lincoln asked, confused by what was going on.

"Let us handle it," Lola said as she walked away.

"We've got to do something, guys, or else this whole thing will escalate into World War III," J.D. said, concerned because he felt things were going to get worse quickly.

Later, J.D., Lincoln, Laney, and Varie were in Lincoln's room reading manga. Luna and Luan entered the room, which scared them.

"Scram, dudes! We need your room!" Luna said, folding her arms in impatience.

"What? Why?" Lincoln asked, shocked that he was being kicked out of his room.

"Lori is approaching the sector and we don't want to risk a run-in with Leni," Luan explained.

Luna shoves them out of Lincoln's room and walks back in while Luan pushes Leni in.

"The coast is clear, brah," Luna informed Lucy, who was downstairs.

"Copy that," Lucy replied, allowing Lori to go upstairs. "You may proceed."

Lori makes her way upstairs to her bedroom. Luna exits Lincoln's room, and Luan pushes Leni out as well. Lori emerges from her room, texting on her phone.

On the walkie-talkie, Lucy said, "Abort, abort, abort. Leni is on her way back up." Luna and Luan pushed Lori into Lincoln's room right away.

"Ah!" exclaimed Lori, surprised to see Lincoln in the room.

Lincoln screams in surprise as Luna and Luan enter the room with Lori, "Ah!"

"J.D., Varie, Laney, make it like a drum and beat it!" Luan chuckled. "Get it? But seriously, out."

J.D. laughed, "Good one, Luan. But we're going." They were kicked out of Lincoln's room. Leni walks back upstairs, goes to her room, and slams the door.

After being kicked out of his room yet again, Lincoln sighed.

"This is ridiculous," Varie exclaimed irritably.

Later that night, at dinner, Lynn Sr. told everyone about what happened at work, "...and then Mort realized he was drinking regular, not decaf!" He bursts out laughing at the memory.

"That's funny, Mr. Lynn," J.D. said, laughing.

"Mmm. Ms. Rita, your spaghetti is delicious," Varie said while rubbing her stomach.

"Thank you, Varie," Rita said, pleased that she had enjoyed it.

"Dinner was delicious, Mom," Lori said as she rose from her chair.

"Thank you, sweetie!" Rita said to her daughter.

Lori walked out of the dining room, and Lincoln said as he rose from his chair, "Yes, thank you, Mom. I'm completely stuffed."

"Well, I hope you saved room for dinner," Rita replied.

"Wait, what?" Lincoln wondered as he sat back down.

"But didn't we just have dinner?" Laney, also perplexed, asked.

"Sister Fight Protocol, right?" J.D. asked, wanting to be sure.

"Yep. Lori and Leni dine separately," Lynn Sr. agreed as he explained why.

"And we have to eat with them both. So they don't think we're taking sides," Rita explained.

"Why not? I love this spaghetti," J.D. shrugged.

"Me too," Varie agreed.

"I'll see if our Chef back at our mansion can give you some good recipes to go along with this," J.D. suggested to Rita.

"That's very thoughtful of you, J.D. Thank you very much," she smiled gratefully.

"I didn't know you had your own chef at your house, J.D," said Lola from the kiddie table.

"He's the best, Lola, and he cooks all kinds of really good food," he said.

Not long after, everyone had dinner with Leni. Lynn Sr. recounted what had happened earlier at work, saying, "And then Mort realized he was drinking regular, not decaf!" He laughs once more, and Leni also laughs.

Laney sighed, her family not eating together because of this stupid fight.

"Laney, you've barely finished your second dinner. What's the matter?" Rita, concerned, asked.

"I'll tell you exactly what's wrong. All of this is wrong! Something has to be done about this!" she yelled, slamming her hands on the table.

"Honey, you have to respect the protocol. Let Lori and Leni solve this on their own," Lynn Sr. told her, trying to make her understand.

"But I'm a sister too! I know I can help! Siblings are supposed to be there for each other!" She yelled, frustrated.

"Mr. Lynn, can I have a word with you? In private?" J.D. asked because he believes he has a solution.

"Sure," he replied, wondering what J.D. wanted as they both walked away from the table.

They entered Lynn Sr.'s bedroom, and J.D. apologized to him, saying, "I'm sorry to pull you away like this, Mr. Lynn."

"That's fine, J.D.," Lynn Sr. said, because it had to be important.

"Mr. Lynn, I don't think this protocol is working at all. Lori and Leni were practically tearing each other apart this morning. They wouldn't let us talk to them or try to reason with them. Because of our alleged "INTERFERENCE," the threat level has been raised to DEFCON 3, and I, Varie, Laney, and Lincoln are concerned that this fight will explore into a violent massacre," J.D. explained.

Lynn Sr. considered what he had just been told and realized he might be correct and that this fight would only get worse. So he said to him, "You might be right on that, J.D."

"You and Ms. Rita are the parents, and you set the rules in this house, right?" J.D. asked.

"Yes," Lynn Sr. replied, unsure where he was going with this.

"I respect your authority. But I have a bad feeling that the fight will quickly escalate into DEFCON 1, and I'm worried that some, if not all, of the girls, will be hurt, and I'll never forgive myself if that happens. Worse, I don't want Lincoln, Varie, Laney, or myself to get caught in the middle of it," J.D. said, expressing his concerns.

Lynn Sr. realized he was correct and that things could get worse and asked him, "You're right. But what can we do?"

"Tell everyone that we are going to destroy everything related to the Sister Fight Protocol. I'll explain the situation to Lincoln, Laney, and Varie, and if a fight breaks out, Laney will use her plant powers to keep the girls in check," J.D. said as he explained his strategy.

"And the rest is up to the parents, which means me and Rita," Lynn Sr. said, thinking this was a good idea.

"Bingo. We don't want another situation like this to happen again, like with THE SWEET SPOT FIASCO," J.D. explained.

"You might have saved this family again, J.D.," Lynn Sr. said, grateful for his help in keeping the family together.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lynn. Friends are always looking out for one another. I also have a plan," J.D. whispered his plan into his ear.

Lynn Sr. backed away after hearing the plan and grinned at its genius. "That's perfect. Okay, it's time to put Operation: Induce More Fighting So Laney Can Use Her Plant Powers, Restrain the Girls So We Can Punish Them, and Come Up With A Shorter Name For This Operation into action."

"Whoa! That's quite a mouthful. Now I know where Lincoln got it from. How about Plant Restraint Punishment Operation?" J.D. suggested.

"Perfect," Lynn Sr. said with a smile.

"This will take 24 hours, but we can do it if we all do our part," J.D. explained.

Later that night, J.D. explains the plan to Lincoln, Laney, and Varie, and then it begins.

Lincoln walks into his bedroom, only to discover that his sheets and blanket are missing. He steps out of his room, and Lana whistles as she exits the bathroom with her plunger.

"Hey, what gives? What happened to my sheets and blanket?" Lincoln asked in shock and anger.

"Sister fight protocol. We used them to make a divider in Lori and Leni's room," Lana explained.

"Well, what am I supposed to sleep under?" Lincoln wondered, not knowing what he would use.

Lana pushed him into his room and said, "Try this." She laughs as she dumps all the dirty laundry clothes on Lincoln.

"All right, that's it!" yelled Lincoln, tired of this nonsense.

"What are you doing, Lincoln?" Lana asked, concerned, and knocked on the doors of all the other sisters except Leni and Lori. "Guys, we have a problem."

Laney was irritated. "What now?" she asked.

Lincoln storms into Lori's and Leni's room, tearing down the divider. Lori and Leni gasped while the others looked on, concerned.

"I'm done with this! You guys and your stupid fight have ruined the whole day! It's time to get over it and makeup!" Lincoln yelled, fed up with their fight.

"Lincoln, this has to run its course. Sister fight protocol," Luan said, trying to make him understand and not make things worse.

"Forget the sister fight protocol!" yelled Lincoln back at her, fed up.

"Well, I'm not going to sleep in here with her!" Leni yelled angrily, turning away from Lori.

"I'm not sleeping in here with her, either!" Lori retorted back at her.

"Everyone, please calm down! I have a solution! Let's sleep in different rooms. Leni, you sleep in Luan and Luna's room, and Lori can sleep here," Laney expressed hope that this would work.

"Great idea, Lanes," Lincoln said, smiling at Laney's suggestion.

"Works for me!" Leni agreed.

"Me too!" Lori said.

Leni grabs her pillow and heads to Luna, and Luan's room to sleep.

Laney looks at J.D., who is hiding in Lincoln's room, and he gives her a thumbs-up and a wink.

"You're playing with fire!" Luna warned. Except for Laney, the other sisters all start talking simultaneously.

All the other sisters agree and speak at the same time.

"That's a risk I'm willing to take," J.D. told them.

"Listen. Laney knows how to solve problems in this house. Lori and Leni will have calmed down by tomorrow, and you'll thank me!" Lincoln whistled as Lily babbled at him about the idea. Laney and Lincoln return to Lincoln's room.

Except for J.D., Varie, Lincoln, and Laney, everyone was asleep at 11:15 p.m.

"Is everyone asleep?" Lincoln whispered to the group.

"Yes. Phase 1 is now complete," J.D., who was also whispering, said. He took out a headset and stated, "Now comes Phase 2. Do you read me, Dark Angel, to Night Owl? Over."

"Night Owl to Dark Angel. Loud and clear and ready to move in. Over," Lynn Sr. whispered.

"Excellent. Proceed with Phase 2. Over," J.D. replied.

"Roger that. Over," Lynn Sr. responded.

Lynn Sr. was dressed in a black sweater with a black hood, and he crept up the stairs and into Lisa's room, where he discovered the Sister Fight Protocol files in her closet. He took the box and went to his and Rita's bedroom.

"I got the files containing the Sister Fight Protocol. Over," Lynn Sr. said into his headset.

"Is it the right box? Over," J.D. asked.

Lynn Sr. opened the box containing everything needed for the Sister Fight Protocol.

"Affirmative. It is all the stuff. Over," Lynn Sr. replied.

"Copy that. Phase 2 is complete. Hold on to the box and await further instructions. Over," J.D. said.

"Roger that. Proceed with Phase 3 in the morning and J.D., Good luck. Over," Lynn Sr. said as he hung up.

"Thank you, Mr. Lynn. Over and Out," J.D. replied, pleased they had the files.

"Did he get the files?" Laney quietly asked J.D.

"Yes. Everything is going as planned. We do Phase 3 first thing in the morning," J.D. whispered.

The next day, Lincoln, J.D., Varie, and Laney wake up, and Lincoln says, "Hmmm, peaceful. Sounds like good ol' Lincoln saved the day."

"Just admit you're wrong!" Luan yelled from down the hall.

"You're wrong, dude!" Luna yelled back.

"Or not," Lincoln sighed, but then realized something. "Wait a minute, that didn't sound like Lori and Leni."

"That sounded like Luna and Luan. Phase 3 has begun," J.D. said.

They were leaving Lincoln's room when they noticed Luna and Luan arguing.

"Lori had the dress first! She told me the whole story last night!" Luna argued.

"Well, Leni told me her side, and she clearly had the dress first!" Luan retorted back.

"Ha! That's funnier than most of your lame jokes!" Luna argued, not impressed.

"Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you! I've gone partially deaf from your horrible guitar playing!" Luan yelled back.

"Guys, guys," Lincoln called out, attempting to get their attention.

Luna and Luan both growl at him. Lori, Lynn, Lisa, Leni, Lana, and Lucy emerged from their rooms.

"SISTER FIGHT PROTOCOL! DIVIDE AND ISOLATE!" Lynn yells through her megaphone.

Lola is in her princess car, which she uses to transport Luna.

"You're paying for new shocks, Lincoln!" yelled Lola.

Luan has Lincoln by the shirt and is preparing to pummel him. Lana grabs Luan using a rope and pulls her to Lincoln's room. "This room is now off limits!" she yelled as she shut the door, and the off-limits sign was on the doorknob.

"Come on! Why is it always my room?" Lincoln asked, annoyed.

"Congratulations, elder brother. Thanks to you, the threat level is now a Stampeding T-Rex." Lisa said sarcastically.

"We're now at DEFCON 2 People!" Varie yelled.

"Exactly as we had planned," J.D. thought.

"Stampeding T-Rex?!" yelled Lynn Sr., acting as he ran and boarded up the door to his bedroom. "All right, we'll ride out the storm in here."

Rita places Lily in the drawer. "Did you remember the bucket?" she asks, also acting.

"Dang it!" Lynn Sr. yelled.

Lisa is escorting Lori into the restroom and says into a walkie-talkie, "Commencing T-Rex protocol. I've got Big L with me, and we're on our way."

"Roger that," Lucy says as she walks out of Luna and Luan's room with Leni.

"We're headed for the red zone," Lana said into her walkie-talkie with Luan.

"Copy that. We're heading for the green zone," Lola said into her walkie-talkie since she was with Luna.

Both parties unknowingly head into each other's paths and bump into each other, with Luna and Luan snarling at each other.

"Lola, what are you doing? This is the red zone. The door is red," said Lana as she pointed to the red door.

"Uh, hello! The carpet is green," Lola replied, motioning to the green carpet.

Now the twins are arguing. As the four argue, Lincoln walks into the room holding a bowl of cereal but immediately backs away. Bobby is on his way to deliver pizza, rushes to the parent's bedroom window, and knocks.

"Here you go, Mrs. Loud," Bobby said as he handed her the pizza she had ordered.

Rita pays tips and tells him, "Thank you, Bobby. Just the large pepperoni for us; the rest can be delivered to the front door."

"Do I have to? Lori told me the threat level is Stampeding T-Rex," Bobby responded, concerned.

J.D. answered the doorbell and greeted the person on the other side." Hello, Bobby. What's up?"

"J.D.. what are you doing?! The Threat Level is at Stampeding T-Rex!" yelled Bobby.

"I'm aware. It's part of our plan," J.D. reassures him, beckons him closer, and explains what they're doing.

"That's brilliant, amigo. I don't want to be caught in the crossfire. Tell Lori I said hello," Bobby replied, liking the plan.

"I'll make sure she gets the message," J.D. says as he hands him a $100 tip. "Here you go."

"Thanks, man. Be safe in there," replied Bobby, taking the tip and leaving.

"No problem, compadre," J.D. said as he shut the door, then took the pizzas and placed them on the table.

"Lori! Bobby says Hello!" he yelled to her.

"Thanks for telling me, J.D.," Lori said from somewhere.

"You're welcome," J.D. said.

"All right, the first seating will be Leni, Luan, and Lana," Lucy said as she walked through the living room.

"Roger! Copy that," replied Lisa from somewhere.

Lucy walks into the dining room to find Lynn eating pizza while slacking off.

"Gasp! What exactly are you doing? You're supposed to be keeping an eye on Lori, Luna, and Lola." Lucy was irritated by Lynn's antics.

"Can't I take a break? I've been working for nine hours," Lynn replied as she took another bite of pizza.

"So have I, and you don't see me complaining," Lucy said to her.

"Oh yeah, because you're always such a ray of sunshine," Lynn replied, rolling her eyes.

"At least I don't smell like crusty athletic socks," Lucy countered.

"Please! Like Eau De Death is better," Lynn said, folding her arms.

As Lucy and Lynn begin to argue, Lisa walks into the dining room with Leni, Luan, and Lana.

"Oh, boy. Here we go. People, we have arrived at Erupting Volcano! "Lisa yelled, updating her chart.

"ENOUGH WITH YOUR DUMB CHART!" yelled Lana, grabbing the chart from Lisa and taking a big bite out of it.

"How would you like to eat that hat?!" Lisa retorted.

The rest of the sisters enter the scene, and all of them are arguing now, which ends up with them fighting.

"Laney, Now!" yelled J.D., seeing how far things had progressed.

Laney slams her hands on the floor, causing vines to grow and entangle the sisters.

"Laney, let me go or I'll turn you into a human pretzel!" yelled Lori angrily as she struggled to free herself from the vines.

"I don't believe so," Laney said, folding her arms and glaring at them.

Lynn Sr. and Rita entered the dining room, and Lynn Sr. whistled to get their attention, causing the girls to stop arguing, and he yelled, "This has gone on for far too long!"

"Everyone except Lincoln, J.D., Varie, and Laney into the living room now. But Laney, first untie them," Rita said, disappointed.

"I've got a better idea," Laney said, motioning for the vines to place the girls on the sofa.

In the Living Room, Rita was disappointed at how they had been acting the last couple of days. She asked Lori and Leni a simple question. "Now this fighting is completely unacceptable. Lori and Leni, how could you two fight over something so petty as a dress?"

"Leni and I had the same dress, mom," Lori said first.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone except Lincoln and Laney is grounded for three weeks," Rita told them while crossing her arms.

"You should all be ashamed of yourselves. J.D. told me what was going to happen last night, and he devised this plan," Lynn Sr. said, displeased with them.

So J.D. went over the plan in great detail, saying, "And then Mr. Lynn and Ms. Rita gave you your punishment."

"That Sister Fight Protocol is a threat to the entire family!" exclaimed Laney.

"Turn over everything related to that protocol, girls. Burn that box, Mr. Lynn," J.D. told them before handing Lynn Sr. a book of matches, and everyone turns over the prototype gear while Lynn Sr. goes to burn the box.

"I should never have made that Protocol in the first place. It only makes matters worse," Lisa sighed, displeased with herself.

"It's all my fault! Lori, I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!" Leni cried.

"Don't say that, Leni. As I said before. You'd both look adorable in that dress," Varie said, cheering up Leni.

"That protocol, girls, threatened to split this family apart. It only made things worse for everyone, including your friends and neighbors," J.D. explained, hoping they would understand what he was saying.

"That's what I've been saying," Laney exclaimed, throwing up her arms in relief that someone had finally understood.

"That's right," Lincoln said, agreeing.

So J.D. explained what's been happening with Lincoln in his room, and everyone felt really guilty.

"Lincoln, we're really sorry we kicked you out of your room," Luan apologized, feeling guilty about it.

"Yeah. Sorry about that, dude," Luan apologized as well.

"It's okay. I've already forgiven you," Lincoln said, but grateful for the apology, anyway.

"You can let them go now, Laney," Varie said, now that everything was back to normal.

Laney frees them from the vines, and the vines disappear into the ground.

"Well, thanks to us, we won't have to worry about that protocol again," J.D. exclaimed, relieved that it was over.

"Yep. Especially when Lynn says she needs-" Lincoln said. Still, Laney covers Lincoln's mouth before he can finish that sentence.

"Keep practicing so she can one day be a sports star," Laney finished for him.

"Oh yeah! I'm going for the gold!" Lynn yelled, and Laney removed her hand from Lincoln's mouth.

"Next time, Lincoln, let me do the talking," Laney said, giving him a nervous chuckle.

After everyone except Lincoln and Laney had returned to their rooms, Lynn Sr. led J.D., Lincoln, Varie, and Laney out to the backyard, where J.D. doused the box in gasoline and set it on fire.

"Mission accomplished, Mr. Lynn," J.D. said, pleased with the outcome.

"Yes indeed," he agreed.

"Good riddance to bad rubbish," Laney said, happy it was over.

THE END.
