CH 4. THE MALL TO THE RESCUE
The next morning Linka was the first one to wake up, so she can use the restroom before the older sisters while thinking what happened last night was all a bad dream but that struck down when she saw herself in the mirror when the once loud boy realized what happened was not a dream but this reality for her. "Dang it, well I do hope my sisters can change me back, then again my reflection in the mirror does have a point. Things could be better, since I am now a girl, and my sisters and I might stop fighting with each other." Linka said to herself. Linka then headed to the bathroom before any of the other louds children got up. Looking at the bathroom mirror, Linka "So how do I get ready for the day? I know that I lived with ten sisters but I do not bother them and ask them how to get ready in the morning."
Then the bathroom door opens showing it was Lori with her make up stuffed, she asks Linka how was her night sleep as a girl. Linka explains that it was different since he tried to get sleep knowing what happened. Lori then grabs some of her old clothes that she wore when she was twelve years old. "I know it's not what you normally wear but last night I went to the attic and looked around for some clothes but this what I can find that is in your size , plus I was having a hard time to convince Leni to go to bed and not to worry about make you some outfit." said Lori as she gave Linka an orange tank top and a blue skirt before living the bathroom so Linka can get dress "Thanks Lori." Likna said.
"Besides we are going to the mall today and find you some clothes at least till Sunday. Hopefully we know how to fix this." stated Lori. as she closed the door so Linka could get dressed. About that time Luan, Leni, Lynn, Luna, Lily, and Lucy have gotten up and saw Lori standing outside of the bathroom. "Linka is innear correct." ask Luan as she yawns, so Lori nodded her head. "So how was little bro, I mean little sis slept last night sleeping, and is she ok?" ask Luna "Well she is still in shock that this happened, and I did find an outfit for her in the attic, so I am just standing here if she needs any help." Lori stated. "Still do not understand why just let me make an outfit for her, so she can wear one when we are going to the mall?" ask Leni in a pouty tone. "Leni it was around midnight when we all went to bed last night, and we were still in shock what happened to Lincoln ." stated Lori. "So has anyone got hold of Lisa yet and told her what happened?"ask Lynn. "I tried before I went to bed, but she said is busey having fun with uncle Chris at a library while the twins went to a place that shows off England's history like royalty and a beast called something. Granted they did eat at a small restaurant called something lamb." sigh Lucy. "I do not understand our uncle, he said that Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lily, Lori, Lincoln, and myself are annoying, but he likes the twins, Lisa, and you Lucy. No offensive sis." Luna stated while Lucy said its ok
Linka finally came out of the bathroom fully dressed, while her face was bright red. "Hey guys when did you guys take sex ed class again was it in middle school or high school? I am trying to get used to this new look." Linka asks her older sisters which was followed by it depends, since each on the teacher, or grade that you are in since Lori, and Leni learned it at eighth grade, Luna, Luan, and Lynn leard about it in school around seven or sixth grade. "Oh, I do have some other dumb qustion but I think they can wait for later." stated Linka. So Lori grabbed her car keys but was taken by Lily, and put it back on her older sister's desk. "Lily gave big sister the keys so we can go to the mall and help Linka to get some outfit?" ask Lori.
But Lily told her sister that with eight people in a small car it was extremely packed, that none of them have any room. "Wow I did not Lily notice that but yes I agreed with our baby sister Lori. Your car is not big enough to fit eight of us like how vanzilla does." Luan stated. "We sorry I do not have the keys for vanzilla since dad, and mom took them to England, and did not get an extra key for the van that was not my fault." Lori said as she tried to keep her cool. "Why not we just take a bus to the mall, I mean it is big enough to fit all eight of us instead of Lori's car." stated Lucy followed by a large aguredment by her other sister, so all eight of the louds girls headed to the bus stop for a ride to the mall.
The louds girls finally arrived at the mall, "So was that better than trying to fit all eight of us into your car." Luna said. "Hey now you guys know how clowns feel getting into the small car at the circus. Beside we were so tight in Lori's car that it feel like we were one person." Luan said with a laugh. While heading to the store Linka asked his sisters how they could walk in heels. Both Lori, and Leni told Linka that she will get used to it since they went through that when they were in preteens. "Sorry Linka I mostly wear boots everyday." Luna stated. "Yea Luan, Lucy, and I mostly wear either sandals, or just a normal pair of shoes." stated Lynn. "Ok girls witch store should we go first a sportswear store, shoes store, or Reininger's." ask Lori. "Well since I work at Reininger's I could get a discount we could got it first and look around?" ask Leni. "Then we go to the sportswear store to look around." stated Lynn, followed by a question from Luna, and Luan "What about Rule 21, Jecpeneys, or Koles. They have some good outfits. " Lori then first is Reininger's since Leni works there, then it is either Rule 21, Jecpeneys, or Koles, and after that it's the sportswear store.
As the girls started to head to Reininger's, Lori's phone started to ring, it was their parents, and the youngest loud sisters Lisa, Lana, and Lola. "Dang it mom, and dad want to facetime with us to see how we are doing. Leni, and Luan can you take Linka, and Lily to Reininger's, me, Lynn, Luna, Lucy we'll meet up with you after this." said Lori. So Leni, Luan, Lily, and Linka start to head to Reininger's while Lori, Luna, Lucy, and Lynn talk to their mom and dad. "Hey girls, how is having the house not be crowded, I mean since it's just the first six of you, Lucy, and Lily." stated Lynn Sr. "Girls have anything happen at home, and is it still standing?" ask Rita. The four girls nodded their heads that everything is ok, and they are at the mall to hand out as siblings, so both Rita, and Lynn Sr did any of them force eachother to come to the mall. "What, no way pops, all of us are going to our favorite stores. Leni, Lily, Luan, and Lincoln have already headed to their stores that they love." Luna said. "Oh how Lincoln's bite mark is still bad because I want to show it to uncle Chris, since we told him about it." Lana, and Lola stated. Lynn lied to the twins and said that the bite mark is gone and he is doing fine. In fact , he is at the comic store. "By the way Lucy, uncle Chris asked why did you come with us, because he wanted to show a book about a real life vampire."Lynn Sr said. "Oh that's cool, but maybe next time, or he can email it to me so I could read it." Lucy said. At the time the twins yelled that the show is about to begin and they do not want to miss it, so Lynn asked what the twins were talking about "Ok girls I was just glad that Lincoln's injury was healed. Well we gotta go right now to see The Princess and The Dragon, bye and take care." said Rita, and Lynn Sr.
The show that Lana, and Lola was talking about was a princess who has fought a dragon, and the show uses real fire, and other forms of special effects. "That is cool, dad, mom, Chirs look at the fire in the water." Lana screamed, but was told to be quiet by Lola. "Would you shut up, I'm trying to get some pictures of the outfit that the actress is wearing." "Girls calm down, I know that you are enjoying this show but you both are starting to fight over something." Rita told her twin daughters. "Do not worry about Rita my deer, besides the kids are having fun watching the show for different reasons. Lisa due to the machines that they use, Lola for the princess, and Lana for the action. Oh Lola if you want an outfit just like the princess." stated Chris as he patted Lola, Lana, and Lisa's head. Chris also stated that he can get Lana a cool hat that is the shape of the dragon, and as Lisa a behiend the sense to learn what chemicals they use for the show. "Thank uncle Chris, you are the best uncle that anyone could have!" said Lola, Lisa, and Lana as they gave their uncle a big hug. Rita and Lynn just sigh and are thinking maybe Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, and Lily are having a better time back at home.
Back at the Royal Woods Mall, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan,Lynn, Lucy, and Lily gather some outfits for Linka to try on. While Linka in the changing room Luan thought it would be funny is that every outfit that Linka tries on they just said no to some of them while they said yes to one the outfit that we all agree on. Leni thought that would be a good idea until Luna reminded the fashion designer, and the comedian sister that this is no time for jokes with Lori, and Lynn agreed. However the serious tone was dropped when Luna stated to whissel, and Leni gave a thumbs up to the outfit that sisters think Linka would like while Luan, and Lynn were giving a thumbs down, or making funny noise to the clothes that they think Linka would not like.
Three hours later the louds sisters have picked at least seven outfits for Linka. "It's a good thing that you work here Leni and get a store discount," said Luna. However the group did not hear any response from Leni for a minute until the fashion lover explained that her boss asked her can she stay and help out for a while since the store seems to be very busy today but keep her in the info about Linka. "Ok so what time you get off of work then, so we know what to do till then?" ask Luna. Leni stated when the big hand is on twelve, and the little hand is on the six. "So six then, I guess we all could look at our favorite stores until six, and maybe meet up at the food court around six." stated Luan. All of them agreed to that, so Lynn went to the sports store, Luna goes to the music store, Luan takes Lily to a toy store, Lori decides to look at Jecpeneys for some stuffed, while Linka went to the comic book store witch is next to Jecpeneys.
While reading the latest Ace Savvy comic Linka got a text from Lori asking if she wanted to join her in Jecpeneys whenever Linka is done at the comic store, and text or call any of her older sisters if something bad happens to her. However the white hair girl got attention from a boy who was in the comic store, walking towards Linka and trying to hit on her. The boy's name was Joe, one of the most popular kids in Lincoln's class besides Chandler. "Hey snow white why don't you come with me to the food court and hang with me doll.''Joe said as he was trying to put his hands on Linka. "Sorry I am kinda busy and I already in a relationship." Linka said but was interrupted by Joe who grabbed Linka and forced her to come in causing Linka to scream in fear. By the time Joe was starting to force Linka out of the comic store by force, Lori, Luan, Lily, Luna, Lynn, and Lucy saw what Joe was doing and started to charge towards Joe screaming to let go of Linka otherwise Joe would have to deal with it. After a few rounds of fighting Luan, Lucy, Luna, and Lynn throw Joe into the mall water fountain. "What gives you girls. This doesn't concern you louds girls." yelled Joe before Lily threw a dirty diaper at Joe's face. "Poo poo." Lily said. Luna, Lynn, Lori then went to Linka to see if she was hurt. "There are some boys who are not nice or a gentleman like Bobby, your friends, and you. What that kid was a perv, and pigs." stated Lori. After that whole incident the louds girls gave Linka a big hug and were glad that she was safe.
It is six, so Lori, Luna, Lily, Luan, Lynn, Linka, and Lucy headed to the food court to meet up with Leni. Once there Leni asks how was their time at the mall, so all of them have fun, until some guy was missing with Linka, so they defend Linka for the jerk, and kick his but. After hearing that Leni hug Linka, while saying she is glad that she is safe. "Um Leni I can't breath." Linka said. Leni then apologized for squeezing her sister to death . She is glad that she is safe, and that Lori, Luna, Lily, Luan, Lynn, Linka, and Lucy were there to save Linka before anything bad happens to her. While talking to each other the louds girls decided to have dinner at one of the restaurants or food courts in the mall before they headed home. Once they all got home and carried all the clothes that they got for Linka for at least a week. "Do you think that this will last Linka for a week and before mom, and dad comes home on Sunday?" ask Lynn. "I hope so, but since Lisa is not here since this probably involves science in some way." Luna stated. "Well this was a supernatural thing and Lucy has good knowledge about that kind of stuffed that anyone in the family." Linka said as she was trying to figure out where to put the outfit that she had bought at the mall.
A few minutes have pace since Leni, Lori, and Lynn help Linka to find a place to put the clothes at. "So if we manage to get Lincoln back to normal what do we do with clothes that we bought?" Ask Luan, so Leni said she can use them to make some outfits for Lola, and her friends. Linka was playing a video game until Leni, Lynn, Luan Lori, and Luna came to cheek on Linka. "How are you doing after shopping at the mall little sis?" ask Luna. "I am just glad that you are safe Linka." stated Leni. The white hair girl said that she is ok, and thanked her sisters for protecting her from Joe. "I also saw after Lily through her diaper, Luan through a pie at him." stated Linka. "Hey we that's what sisters are for Linka." stated Luan as she was laughing and crying. "Do you guys think that you could help me change back to normal. But if you can not, how will you feel if my old self never comes back." ask Linka but was given some hope from Lori, and Lynn and said that they promised to find a way to get their brother back. "Same here Count me in. We promised that we will find a way to get you back to normal." Luna, Leni, and Luan said . "After all that what sisters are for." Luna said as she started to play her guitar.
Luna, Lori, Leni, Luan, and Lynn started to sing (near the end of the song Linka joins in) "We're your sisters, we're your sisters. We're your sisters to the bitter end .When you're alone, who comes around. To pluck you up when you are down. And when you're outside, looking in. Who's there to open the door? That's what sisters are for! Who's always eager to extend A friendly hand? That's what sisters are for! And when you're lost in dire need. Who's at your side at lightning speed? Even if we have different views about life, we are always be there for one another. We keep eachother safe, even in the hardest time of life. We all make mistakes, but in the end we all love each other since we are sisters and that's what sisters are for." (the song is based off of the song that's what friends are for from Disney Jungle Book the cartoon movie, not the live action remake) When her five older sisters left, Linka was thinking that she was surprised that her sisters protected her, but they would have done that if she was still their brother. "Maybe that reflection might have a point, we did not fight with each other like how we used to do. Maybe I do not want to change back to a boy, I am lost in my mind and thoughts. What to do, what to do." Linka thought to herself.
Monday is over, and the morning will be a new day. Tuesday, while glad that his sisters will help Linka turn back to Lincoln, but the white hair started to have second thoughts about whether Linka should stay, or should Lincoln come back. Maybe the white hair kid's life would be better off, if Linka stays and Lincoln leaves forever after Lynn said that Lisa has a memory machine that they could use to change their parent's memory and rewrite it. The louds children have five days left to change Lincoln back to normal before their parents come back from England, but the once the white hair boy named Lincoln is debating on whather it would be a good choice to change back.
(another chapter is done. so Lincoln (Linka) is having second thoughts on would the white hair kid's life would be better if he (she) stays as the opposite gender. also are surprise that Lori, Luna, Lynn, Lucy, Luan, Leni, and Lily want to get their brother back even if they are kinda enjoying Linka being around them.)
