The Loud House: Memory of A Promise

Part 1: Recorded Memory Chapter: 13 Operation Manhunt! Second Phase! Luan's Gambit!

Disclaimer: I do not own "The Loud House"


Questions: AberrantScript: Will at least five sisters fall in love, seduce, and potentially-procreate with the innocent Lincoln? And will Leni remain his throughout later parts? Well six have fallen in love, three have seduced him so far technically, and none *looks at chapter* I mean two are already thinking about procreating so things seem to be going in your favor. As for Leni ... well he'd have to be crazy to say no to that. Then again, stranger things have happened.

dogbertcarroll: The Thunder Tit Twins! How would they activate their powers?! Um if I had to take a guess ... I'd say they'd squish their tits together and press their chests against each other.

SonAwesome: Do you plan to have children for the girls and Lincoln? Hm ... if I did, that would be way way way~ far down the line, but uh *looks at the chapter* someone's got babies on the brain apparently.


? ? ?: Luan

Luan stood behind a curtain, dressed in her mime outfit, her hand held to her chest to quell the rapid beating of her heart.

"Ok … you got this … you got this Luan." She thought to herself. "You've preformed a bunch of times in front of people before and didn't panic … and him … Only difference with him now is … that you're in love with him on a deeper level than then."

She turned around, facing the thin red velour cotton separating her from seeing her desire. This was it, this was her chance, her chance to tell him how she felt. Luan let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and slowly she passed the curtains, hoping she would be brave enough to go with her idea as a round of applause welcomed her to the stage.


? Outside an Old Chapel ?: Lincoln

Lincoln blinked his eyes and searched his surroundings, wondering where he was and how he got here. The trees around him were barren of life, the sky was an eerie blood red, and looming over him in front was a chapel, white in all its splendor yet mired in a looming shadow. Every instinct told him not to venture forth, to turn and walk away, but his body propelled him unwillingly forward past the chapel's double doors.

Inside the same red that scourged the sky behind him veiled the room in its own unsettling shade as it leaked through the windows on the right. Rows of empty benches were lined up facing an equally empty podium, the stark loneliness of it all radiating a wave of unsettledness. He took in the intimidating silence of the room until a single candle lit near the left corner, revealing a hooded figure sitting alone on the front-left most bench.

Not knowing whether the person was either friendly or dangerous Lincoln called out. "Um, h-hello?"

The figure did not turn, prompting Lincoln to approach closer.

"Excuse me sir … ma'am?"

Still no response and still closer Lincoln approached, soon only ending up several steps away from whoever it was.

"Er, hi. Can you help me out? I have no idea where I am an-"

"You're having fun, aren't ya?", The figure interrupted, it's voice seemingly familiar.

"Huh?"

"Those women, your sisters … You seem to be having a lot of fun with them."

"I don't know what you me-"

"And to have to be able to choose only one of them to be with? Man, that's got to be a hard choice."

Lincoln's eyes boggled and he took a step back, as this stranger seemingly knew his current personal situation. "How do you -"

"Know? Don't worry about it. You should be more concerned with yourself."

"Why?"

"Why? Haha, have you already forgotten what I've told you before?"

"Before? Have we met?"

The figure spoke once more but Lincoln couldn't make out what they were saying save for a word here and there.

"I'm sorry." Lincoln stated. "Can you repeat that?"

"Hm, no can do. Our time seems to be up."

BONG~ … BONG~ … BONG~

The chapel's bell then began to ring as darkness seeped forth from the interiors woodwork. On seeing the mass of nothingness approach, Lincoln immediately turned to run but was stuck in place. Upon looking down, he could only gasp in fright as he began to sink into a pool of black. He tried to scream for help but no words came, as the hooded figure simply loomed over him.

"See you tomorrow Lincoln." It spoke as the bells rings grew louder and the dark marred Linc's vision.

BONG~ … BONG~ … Beep


August 10, 2017 Lincoln's Room, Reality Thursday Morning: Lincoln

Beep Beep Beep

Lincoln slowly reached for his alarm and shut it off, a bit unsure of why he was sweating a bit as he started to fully wake. He got up and began his usual morning routine until a voice knocked in the back of his mind.

"Bond … Break."

He remembered partially then, about his dream, his nightmare. Those were the only words he could make out from the figure's last sentence before their time was up, yet they bothered him so. After a few minutes, before finally giving up on trying to remember the details, Lincoln merely shrugged and headed out into the hallway.


Luna and Luan's Room Thursday Morning: Luan

Beep Beep Beep

"Mmm~ Lincoln don't go just … just a few more minutes in bed together … please."

Beep Beep Beep

"Look see~, Liby wants daddy to stay with her too~."

Beep Beep Beep

"Let's have another or two or three~."

Beep Beep Click

After having had enough of holding back her laughter at her sister's mumbling Luna slowly shook Luan awake.

"Hey, wake up Mrs. Loud. I think, heh, I think Liby wants breakfast.", Luna said holding back a chortle.

Luan got up and stared forward with unfocused eyes. "Oh~ my poor baby, don't worry mommy will feed you."

Luna couldn't help but burst out laughing at her sister's comment, waking Luan completely up.

"Huh? What? Luna? … What's so funny?"

It took a few seconds for Luna to come back down from her laughter, taking in deep breaths and holding her stomach as a slight pain settled in.

"Oh, nothing much. So, baby Liby alright?", Luna asked with a grin.

Luan's face turned a deep shade of red. "Oh man … How bad?"

"Eh, don't sweat it sis. Only heard a little bit, it was funny as heck but also a little sweet."

Luan covered her face. "Oh gosh."

"It's cool dude, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about that once or twice. Now come on, it's your big day today."

Luan buried herself deeper into her hands. "What if he doesn't love me back?"

"What kind of question is that?! Of course he'll love you back! I mean, he fell in love with Lori too, no offense to her, and you've made him laugh and smile so much over his life."

"Yeah … yeah your right. It's just the same old routine … just with a little confession at the end."

"That's the way to think sis! Alright let's go. Can't start the day without a shower and something to eat."

With a cheerful demeanor restored back onto her complexion, Luan gathered her clothes for the day and followed Luna out into the hall. They plopped themselves against the walls near the bathroom and pinched their noses when they saw Lori pop out of her room.

Their actions made Lori arch an eyebrow. "What?"

"Just being careful." Luan said with a grin. "Yesterday you did turn the Loud house into the Gas house hahaha, think I actually prefer it when you toot!"

"One time I did that! One time!", Lori protested.

"For now.", Luna cheekily added.

"Tch, whatever. So, Luan, you got an idea for today?"

Luan looked nervously to the ground. "I sort of have an idea … still not one hundred percent confident … but I'm going to try!"

"You can do it Luan.", Luna said reassuringly as she took the bathroom when Leni came out.

Leni's eyes then shot eagerly open. "Hi Lincy~!"

Both Lori and Luan looked down the halls and a loving smile formed on each as Lincoln shyly waved back as he drew near. Luan felt her knees go weak and her mouth go dry as he took his spot in line next to her. Wanting to give her a chance at alone time, Lori dragged Leni away as she planted a kiss on Lincoln's cheek.

"But I didn't get to give him a morning kiss!", Leni argued as she slipped out of view, leaving Luan and Lincoln alone in the hallway.

Lincoln nervously chuckled as Luan affectionately gazed at him. "Heh, they must still be appreciative of me helping them with their fight on Tuesday."

Luan snapped back into reality instantly.

"Say something! … Anything!", She screamed internally.

"Liby, huh.", She said without thinking.

Luan eyes shot open as she immediately regretted what she said and her mind began to race. "GAH! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING YOU IDIOT?!"

Lincoln arched an eyebrow. "Liby?"

"Um, Liby-a? Yeah Libya, isn't that where Clyde went on vacation with his dads?"

"No, it was one country over, Egypt."

"Oh right, heh, silly me."

"Luan, you ok?"

"Y-yeah why?"

"You're sort of sweating a bit. Are you getting sick?"

Lincoln placed his palm against Luan's forehead as she changed through hues of red. "Hm, a bit warm. Maybe take it easy today?"

His touch gave her goosebumps. "I'm f-fine really Lincoln."

An idea then popped into her head, not the way she wanted to ask Lincoln, but got to take what you can get right? "But if you're really concerned, then maybe you could help me out today?"

"Sure, what is it?"

Luna then popped out of the bathroom rustling Lincolns hair as she passed by, while at the same time Lynn and Lucy came out into the hallway, effectively killing Luan's alone time with Lincoln.

"I'll tell you during breakfast, ok Linc?"

"Sure."

Luan then reluctantly moved into the bathroom and closed the door, only to momentarily stick her head back out. "Hey Lincoln."

"Yeah?"

"What do you call a child with parents from both Iceland and Cuba?"

"Hm … I don't know."

"An ice cube!"

With the satisfying sounds of Lincolns laughter upon her ears Luan shut the bathroom door, not noticing that Lucy was trying to get her attention.


August 9, 2017 Lori and Leni's Room Wednesday Mid-Morning

"So, did Lynn listen?", Luna asked as Lori walked back in.

Lori held up Lily for all to see. "What do you think?"

"Lincoln!", Lily cried.

"Leni can you … " Lori noticed Leni still had her ears covered prompting her to tap on her shoulder. "Leni can you take Lily and put her to bed please? I need to talk with the others."

"Ok." Leni got up and gently took Lily out to her room, cooing at her along the way. "Come on Lily~, let's go see your big sister Lisa~."

With both gone Lori took a seat in front of the remaining sisters in the room. "So, where did I leave off?"

"Something about this morning involving Leni and … how Lincoln would only pick one of you …", Lucy somberly answered.

"Oh, right well, I'd change that tune of yours Lucy." The trio eyed Lori with curiosity. "Honestly you should thank Leni for her … innocence per se. Point is, she and I have both agreed to share Lincoln."

"S-share?!", The young group cried in unison.

"Yes, share."

"H-how would that even work?!", Luan stammered.

"Well think of the alternate options … a broken heart, a feeling of loss, endless self-pity, and unjustifiable anger and jealousy towards a sister who may be with Lincoln. I experienced them all last night when I saw Leni and Lincoln kiss."

"Ah, so that's why you were so pissed." Luna stated. "By the way, how long have they been tongue battling?"

"It was the first time they did that last night. Same goes for me later on that night as well when he cheered me up when everyone went to bed already."

"And that explains why you were Ms. Sunshine in the morning.", Lucy added.

Lori slightly blushed. "Hm~, yes. He is quite the charmer, though I don't think he realizes how much. Anyway, so what do you guys think?"

Lucy cocked her head. "Think of one of you being with Lincoln?"

"No silly, of all of us sharing Lincoln."

The three youths had to stop themselves from keeling over in shock.

Luan struggled to find her words. "Um, w-wow. I don't know how to even respond to that … Much less how that would work even more so now."

Lori gave a reassuring smile. "Well, we can hash out the finer points later. Right now two things matter, one being if everyone is ok with this, and two if Lincoln is alright with this. So, what do you guys say?"

Luna scratched the back of her head. "Well I was sort of already considering it with Luan … so why not."

Luan snapped her head towards Luna. "What?! Really?!"

"Well yeah, after all um, I mentioned to you my easiness with situations like that."

Luan's mind clicked as she remembered Luna's confidence to her about Sam some time ago. "Oh yeah. Silly me, guess I forgot heh. Well … I'm ok with it too. Me and Luna have always been a duo anyway."

Lori then faced Lucy. "Lucy? What about you?"

Lucy merely shrugged. "It's not like one more taboo will make it any worse than it is. I'm alright with this too, but there's one problem."

"What?"

"Lynn. She's not exactly the most generous one among us."

Lori held her finger to her chin. "You got a point … and we can't tell Lincoln about sharing him until we are all on board."

"Why not?" Luna huffed. "If Lynn isn't up for the idea then it will just be five versus one."

"May I remind you, this is Lynn. If she even gets a whiff that this becomes a competition, though part of me is already afraid she thinks it is, she will be in it to win it … him. Plus, with that kind of situation in front of Lincoln … Well, how do you think he'd honestly take it?"

"… He'd feel like shit if he saw us turn on one another like that because of him … plus Lynn would probably play the pity card anyway to get in deeper with him … ugh fine, so what can we do?"

"The only thing we can do, talk to her when she and Lincoln get back. Lucy, mind having the first crack at her?"

Lucy heaved deeply but slowly nodded in acceptance at the intimidating task. "I can't guarantee anything though."

"We'll just have to try. Ok, so, how do you all want to do Lynn's plan anyway?"

Lori simply received confused stares. "Ugh, if it really ends up with us versus Lynn I'm not liking the odds already. *sigh* The plan she told all of you guys before she ran out. You know, confessing your love for Lincoln individually."

Nervous gulps sounded the room followed by silence.

An annoyed look began to form on Lori. "Well come on guys, don't you love him? If you stay silent now Lincoln will just end up with either Leni, Lynn, or me."

Silence purveyed still, until Luan softly spoke up. "Well I do like how operation manhunt sounded … I think the first thing we should decide is … who goes first."

"Alright you two in agreement?" Lori waited for confirmation nods from Luna and Lucy before continuing. "Ok, so let's decide the order … I'm thinking of a number between one and ten. Luan?"

Luan gulped once more, hoping she wouldn't be first. "Um … eight."

Lori looked to Luna. "I'm feeling … five."

She finally faced Lucy. "One."

"Ok so with the number seven the order is Luan first, Luna second, and Lucy last. Now, I don't really want to put pressure on any of you, but we sort of have only four days for this to kind of work in all our favor."

"Four days?", Luna inquired.

"Yes, four days. One day for each of you to confess to Lincoln and an emergency day in case one of you fails to do so. After that, things will majorly lean towards Lynn out of all of us, considering she will make the most of her time with Lincoln when they go to middle school together on Monday."

"Oh dang, that's a good point. Guess we need to really make sure any plan we come up with goes off without a hitch, right Luan."

Luna looked toward Luan who was sullenly staring at the ground. "Luan? Hey, what's wrong?"

"What the heck am I even supposed to do?" Luan questioned. "I don't have even the faintest idea how to go on telling him how I feel … and to only have one day to do it."

"Hey, come on dude your giving yourself way too little credit. I don't know anyone else that's as quick-witted as you."

"Really?"

"Promise. You come up with so many puns and jokes on the fly. All you got to do is turn that ingenuity into a plan."

"Even I have to agree with what Luna is saying." Lori added. "You are pretty good at thinking on your feet."

A small smile formed on Luan. "Well … ok. I do have all day to think of something after all."

Luna gave Luan a reassuring pat on the back as Lucy spoke up. "So, what now?"

"Not much to do until you guys confess." Lori stated. "Today is technically Lynn's day, since she took it for herself. Speaking of her, I wonder how she's doing with Lincoln."

"Knowing her she's probably already making out with Lincoln *sigh* lucky."

Lori pouted at Lucy's words to which Luan couldn't help but poke at. "What's the matter Lori? Tongue-tied? Hahaha!"

"Better get used to the idea dude." Teased Luna. "If everything goes smoothly at least one of us is going to be flirting with and kissing his lovable mug every other day."

Lori fell back onto Leni's bed and let out an annoyed sigh. "Still got to get used to the idea myself. This has just been one hell of a hectic week."

"No kidding.", Luan replied.


August 10, 2017 Loud House, Second Floor Bathroom Thursday Morning: Luan

Luan splashed water onto her face and stared into her reflection upon the bathroom mirror, thinking over her plan for today.

"Ok, first you get Lincoln to go with you on a Funny Business Inc. appointment, then you get him to help you out like last time. A few laughs here and there to soften him up then boom, you hit him with your love reveal. Simple … right?"

Luan gave herself a nod as she exited the bathroom, only to be greeted by the sight of Lynn clinging on to Lincoln's side as his face matched the red on Lynn's jersey.

"Bathroom is all yours Lincoln.", Luan said with a tone of annoyance.

As Lincoln sheepishly scurried into the bathroom Luan shot Lynn a questioning look.

"What?", Lynn scoffed.

"What do you mean what?" Luan angrily whispered. "Today is supposed to be my day with Lincoln. We're supposed to share him."

"I never agreed to that."

Luan's jaw dropped as she looked towards Lucy who could only nod in disappointment, confirming Lynn meant what she said.

"What?! Why not?"

"Hm simple, I don't want to share Lincoln."

"But what about our little group?!"

"Whoa there, we never said we would share him. We just admitted we all loved him."

"So what? You going to interfere with all of us now?"

A small smirk appeared on Lynn's face which only infuriated Luan. "No, I'll be a good sport, since I am the one who encouraged operation manhunt. You can all have your chance to confess to him, but after that's done with its all-out war for his heart."

Without responding Luan left off in a huff towards the dining room.

"Is it really so hard to love Lincoln along with the rest of us?" Asked Lucy.

Lynn sighed and looked to her little sister. "Look Lucy I just … ugh, I just want Lincoln to myself alright? Now drop it."

Lucy frowned at Lynn's half-assed answer, knowing there was more to her reasons than she was letting on. She decided to relent on her questioning for now though as she waited to see Lincoln come out of the bathroom, knowing seeing his morning smile would cheer her up a bit.


August 9, 2017 Lynn and Lucy's Room Wednesday Night

Lucy sighed thinking on how to present the talk with Lori earlier to Lynn. "Well … me and the others sort of had an agreement upon Lincoln."

Lynn arched an eyebrow as she stared towards the ceiling. "What kind of agreement?"

"We sort of … agreed to share … Lincoln."

Lynn's eyes bulged outward as she sat up and looked to Lucy. "SHARE?!"

The sounds of the neighborhood dogs barking furiously could be heard outside as Mr. Grouse next door responded to Lynn's outburst.

"DANG IT LOUDS! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

Lynn and Lucy both winced slightly in fear at the thought of their parents waking, though after a few moments of silence they returned to their semi-relaxed states.

"So … what do you think?", Lucy asked nervously.

"What do I think?" Lynn paused, showing a slight worried expression that Lucy couldn't help but notice. "I don't think I can agree with that."

"Why not?"

"Because … I want his love all to myself. What about you guys? Why the hell would you all agree to something like that?"

"The fear of one not being picked by him coupled with the possibility of receiving hatred born from heartbreak from the others if chosen resulting in a tear in the family."

"Well … I don't have to worry about that. Lincoln will choose me in the end and the family will get over it."

"Are you going to get in the way of the others then when their days with Lincoln come up?"

Lynn remained silent prompting Lucy to ask again. "Are you Lynn?"

"No Lucy." Lynn stoically replied. "I'm not a monster after all. You can all have your go at him, but when you do the gloves come off."

"Lynn …"

"Goodnight Lucy."

"But."

"GOODNIGHT Lucy."

"*sigh* Goodnight Lynn."

Lucy stared at the ceiling, unsure how things would go from this point. Should she rely on the others to turn Lynn's mind to their common goal or should she fully take on the mantle of the task? She didn't know which was the better choice. For now, her eyes grew heavy and she willingly embraced the relaxing void of unconsciousness, thinking it would be best to leave today's problems to tomorrow.


August 10, 2017 Loud House, Dining Room Thursday Morning

"Ack! *cough* S-she what?!", Lori shouted as Luan's comment had made her nearly choke on her breakfast.

"She said she wasn't going with the plan.", Luan repeated as she jabbed her pancakes, imagining it was a certain jocks cocky grin.

"Seriously?" Luna commented. "After having the nerve to tell us to confess to him? Not cool man."

"I'm confused, what's going on with Lynn?", Leni questioned.

"Don't worry about it.", The others said in unison, making Leni pout.

"Aw come on, you guys always say that. I can help too."

"We know you want to Leni but …" Lori paused as her mind began to work up something. "Actually … maybe you can help."

"Really?!", Leni exclaimed with eager eyes as Luna and Luan merely looked on with curiosity.

"Yes, but first Luna has to see if she can help out Lynn first today."

"Ok!"

Luna sighed as she finished the last of her meal. "I doubt I can change her mind, you know how stubborn she is once she gets into her mindset. So Luan, she isn't going to like, get in the way with our plans … is she?"

"No." Luan replied as she stabbed her food again. "She seems confident Lincoln will choose her even with all of us in the mix."

Leni looked to Lori with worry. "Choose? Like what you meant yesterday?"

Lori forced a smile as to not worry her. "No Leni. Luan just meant … who Lincoln would hang out with today is all."

"Speaking of.", Luna added with a smile.

The group turned to see Lincoln entering the dining room who simply bid them good morning with a grin which they all happily returned, save for Leni who got up and raced towards him.

"Lincy~!", Leni cried as she pulled Lincoln into a loving embrace and planted kisses on his cheek.

"Ok Leni, you gave Lincoln his morning kiss, now let him eat his breakfast." Said Lori, pointing to a seat with a warm batch of pancakes on the table next to Luan.

Leni reluctantly released Lincoln who then awkwardly took his seat next to Luan, hoping neither she nor Luna were suspicious of the shower of affection he just received. He was a bit on edge at the moment, for he knew he was starting to lose control often here and there on how Leni and Lori and more recently Lynn showed their affection outright. At the same time though, he knew he was to blame as well for being so happy to receive it and not regret it until the moment passed.

"Bond … Break"

Lincoln couldn't help but notice that damn voice again, persistently gnawing at him since he awoke. It was too faint and distorted for him to put a pin on who's voice it was, though it was enough to give him a bit of anxiety. It didn't bother him though if he focused on his sisters he noted.

"Hey, Lincoln."

Lincoln snapped out of his muddled mind and faced Luan. "Y-yeah?"

"Still want to help me out?"

"Of course. Feeling better?"

"I told you I'm fine silly, but I am glad your tagging along."

"So what is it you needed help with?"

"Just help with a client who wanted Funny Business Inc."

"Heh, it has been awhile since we've done that together."

"Hm~, yeah too long."

Luan stared lovingly towards Lincoln and began to lose herself in imagination, until Lynn's voice cracked the veil of happiness.

"Morning guys. Ooo~ pancakes, score!" Said Lynn as she nonchalantly took a seat next to Luan, much to her dislike.

Not wanting to be in Lynn's presence, Luan told Lincoln she'd wait outside after she gathered what they would need. She muttered small curses as she marched up the stairs and took glee in the fact that, even if she was lying, Lynn couldn't interfere with her ideas on her day with Lincoln outside. Yes, nothing could get in the way, the plan was so simple, and in the end Lincoln would love her too just like Luna said … right?

Shaking her mind of doubt once more she made her way downstairs and outside to rest on the porch. Clear skies and fair weather welcomed her, bringing a small smirk as everything seemed to be laid out perfectly. A minute or two passed by until Lincoln came out, to which Luan keenly walked alongside as they proceeded for the bus stop.

The duo barely paced several feet away from their home before Lola's scream rang out. "Lincoln!"

"Oh crud! Uh, let's jog to the stop! Shall we Luan?!" Said Lincoln as he pulled Luan's supplies cart faster as she followed suit.

"Three days left Lincoln! Three days!", Lola cried as she chased them slightly away from their home before heading back inside herself.

As she walked up the porch steps the dark clouds to her left caught her peripheral. "Hm, seems like rain … Eh, I'm sure Luan and Lincoln already now about it."

Meanwhile inside, after an hour or so had passed, an unhappy Lynn sat in front of an equally unhappy Luna.


? ? ?: Luan

"Thank you, thank you! I can already tell you guys will be a wonder-full audience.", Luan said as the applause died down and her ears were met with the sweet sound of Lincoln's laughter.

"So, I overheard things went well for the groupies who made it backstage at the last SMOOCH concert, it turned into a regular make-out session."

A rimshot played as again Linc's delectable laughter graced Luan.

"Have you all heard about the time the Card Countess stole Ace Savvy's cape? Rumor has it that it was her greatest cape-er yet!"

As another rimshot sounded Luan's cheeks were tinted red with feelings of bliss, seeing Lincoln be so happy from her and her alone.

"By the way guys, sadly I hear ARGGH! is doing bad on DVD sales lately, apparently someone keeps pirating episodes."

"Oh! Oh my sides!", Lincoln cried as he wept tears of joy.

"Almost there." She thought. "Just one more act after this."


August 10, 2017 Royal Woods, Suburban Districts Thursday Mid-Morning: Luan and Lincoln

After a back and forth gag battle between Luan and Lincoln, the pair had arrived at their designated stop.

"Man Lincoln, since when have you been such a little jokester?", Luan inquired.

"Hey, I've had the best near me all these years. At least a bit of your amazing talent had to rub off on me at some point.", Linc replied with a smirk.

"Aw Lincoln, I'm not the best. There are a bunch of other comedians who are way better than me."

"Regardless, to me you are and I'm just glad you've been in my life since the beginning. I can't imagine how many moments I would've had a bad day without you."

Luan brought Lincoln into a one-armed hug, using all her strength to resist the temptation of feeling the softness of his lips against hers. "Lincoln … thanks."

"Anytime Luan. Now if you could only tone it down on April Fools, haha."

"Not a chance Linc, not after the last one. I still have to get you all back and dad."

"Is it messed up I'm sort of looking forward to it in a weird way?"

"Haha, maybe I am rubbing off on you~."

The sounds of laughter then emanated from Luan's pocket, prompting her to prematurely end her hold on Lincoln and bring out her cell.

"Funny Business Inc. Your fun is our business!", Luan answered.

"Yes, Luan?", A nasally voice replied.

"Ah yes Mrs. Shropshire, I'm almost there."

"Oh I'm sorry dear, I've called to cancel our appointment set for today."

Luan paused as her heart sank, gaining a concerned look from Lincoln.

Panic began to run through her as she blurted out her first idea to prevent her plans from collapsing into ruin. "I … I charge a cancelation fee!"

"A cancelation fee?!" Mrs. Shropshire haughtily replied. "For weather conditions?"

"W-weather?"

Then as if to answer her, a crack of light whipped through the sky followed by an immense echo of thunder. Luan looked on upward and pleaded for it just to be a mistake but was met with a heavy downpour of rain.

"I'm sorry about that Mrs. Shropshire … cancelation fees don't apply to weather." Luan dismally said. "I hope you'll book another appointment with Funny Business Inc. … Have a good day."

"Luan."

She was devastated, her plans for conveying her feelings were up in smoke.

"Luan come on."

What the hell was she supposed to do now? Just say she loved him then and there on the spot?

"Luan!"

Finally snapping back from her clouded mind Luan faced Lincoln. "Y-yeah?"

"Come on you're getting soaked." Linc said pointing off across the street. "That tree seems big enough for shade. Let's wait there while we figure out what to do."

The two made their way towards the corner of the street as Lincoln led Luan by her hand with his own and pulled their supplies by the other. He pushed a crosswalk button and took a look at Luan's sullen face as he waited for the walk signal to appear. The misery alone in her eyes was enough to wring his heart apart.

"Was that party really that important?", He thought to himself.


? ? ?: Luan

As her first act of comedic jokes came to a close Luan was on cloud nine with Linc's laughter. Just a bit more and she'd proceed to her final act.

"Well I hope the audience can brace for more comedy, because I've just begun to get punny!"

*rimshot*

Luan moved behind the curtains once again and came out with a unicycle which she promptly mounted and balanced upon in place.

"Now, if my assistant could please hand me my thinking materials."

A tall thin man then moved closer to the stage and tossed three tennis balls to Luan who began to juggle them with ease.

"So my little sister Lisa can overthink things way too much sometimes. I asked her once how NASA threw parties, so she starts prattling on about procedures and how it was against regulations. When she was done explaining I just gave her a look and said, I thought they would just planet.

*rimshot*

After her pun another ball was tossed for her to juggle.

"Have you ever heard how brutal those beauty pageants can be? I asked my other little sister Lola once what it takes and she told me that you had to be ruthless and cunning to get crowned the winner. I told her that that was tiara-ble."

*rimshot*

Yet another ball was tossed towards Luan and Lincoln could see where she was going with her second act. Even though he was having the grandest of times he was a bit worried, but he was more so confident that she knew what she was doing. Besides, she seemed so happy now compared to before, and he was not about to get in the way of that.

"Having a big family can result in a lot of messes sometimes. For example, another of my little sisters, Lana, has this bad habit of constantly making a mess with her pet frog Hops despite me warning her. It always ends the same way too when she gets into trouble, me telling her I toad you so."

*rimshot*

Luan was nearly there, though the pressure she felt now was all too different from when she performed in front of an audience before and him. She did not want to mess this up and true enough she never performed this hard before. Her final destination was worth it though, he was worth it.

"Buckle up Lincoln." She thought. "The grand finale is coming your way~."


August 10, 2017 Loud house, Second Floor Hallway Thursday Mid-Morning: Luna

"SELFISH LITTLE … AAAAAGH!", Luna screamed mentally as she looked at Lynn slamming her door shut.

Luna moved towards Lori and Leni's room and tried her best not to break down their door as she furiously banged on it.

"Luna? What the heck?!" Said Lori when she opened her door to see the beet red rocker.

Luna simply huffed as she passed by Lori and took a seat on Leni's bed.

Leni paused from working on her sewing machine and focused on her angered sister. "Luna, are you ok?"

"No."

"Aw, what's wrong?"

"Don't want to talk about it right now. If I do, I think I'll pop from anger.", Luna replied as Leni took a seat next to her and Lori in front of her.

"Want to know what always cheers me up?", Leni asked eagerly.

"*sigh* What?"

Leni leaned towards her nightstand and grabbed her cellphone. "This always cheered me up before, but now it really makes me happy to see it. Look see~!"

Luna looked at Leni's cellphone screen and almost instantly lit up, seeing Lincoln's cute face as he shyly smiled. She tried not to let herself be happy, still wanting to be mad at Lynn, but her love for Lincoln was too great. Finally, she succumbed to her brother's smile and a grin blossomed across her face.

Leni couldn't help but smile too at her little keepsake. "Feel better Luna?"

"Yeah dang it. I'm better … Thanks Leni.", Luna answered.

"So." Lori interrupted. "I take it the conversation with Lynn didn't go well?"

"Nope not one bit, she's stubborn like I said."

Leni looked to Lori. "Can I help now?"

"Tomorrow Leni." Lori replied. "Right now I don't think Lynn is up for any more talks with anyone. Also, what have you been working on? Every time I see you at that machine lately your always have this huge smile on your face."

"It's a surprise!"

"Well whatever, I'm sure it'll look great when you're done with it. In the meantime, send me that picture of Lincoln."

"Send it to me first.", Luna interjected.


Royal Woods, Suburban Districts Thursday Mid-Morning: Luan and Lincoln

A white stick figure with the words walk below it popped up on the street post across, prompting Lincoln and Luan to hurriedly make their way to the other side. They had barely turned and made their way towards the large tree when the sounds of a vehicle reached Linc's ears. He turned around and his eyes widened as he saw a truck speeding along the street.

Instinctively he let go of the supply cart and embraced Luan in a protective hold. The truck sped by as a wave of murky water splashed Lincoln's backside. Afterwards, he balled his fist and hoisted it into the air, shaking it furiously as he looked at the now distant vehicle.

"ASSHOLE!", Lincoln cried.

Luan worriedly looked over Lincoln seeing him covered in the streets dirt and grime. "Lincoln! Are you o-"

"Luan you didn't get hit did you?!", Linc interrupted.

"No, but Linc your cov-"

"Oh shit, your things!"

Lincoln scurried over to the cart and scanned Luan's gag supplies, finding most, if not all, were covered in filth from the recent splash. Luan felt a sting of both joy and sorrow in her heart from him being concerned more so over herself and her trifling possessions than his own well-being, and how he was soaked and covered in grime in this horrid weather because of her.

Perturbed, Lincoln heaved. "Luan I'm sorry, almost all your stuff is ruined."

She gently clasped his hand. "Linc it's ok really, let's just get under that tree already."

With an aura of despondence Luan pulled Lincoln and sullenly made her way under the tree. The rain poured through still somewhat but it didn't matter to her anymore. She squatted down and buried her face into her knees, not wanting to show her troubled face to Linc.

Lincoln couldn't help but stare at the miserable ball that was his sister, the state being so unlike her. He thought hard what she would do to cheer him up if their roles were reversed, knowing she'd make a pun despite how grim the situation was. That was always her thing, trying to get you to smile when you're feeling down.

Lincoln cleared his throat and hoped his puns would be good enough.

"Hey, come on Luan, cheer up. I'm sure the weather's rain of terror will end soon."

He heard a faint hint of a snicker from her.

"I know there's a smile in there somewhere. We were having such a splashing good time a bit ago."

Her laughter became slightly louder but she was trying her best to hold it in.

"We can always make a rain check on hanging out on your next appointment."

The last pun was what Luan needed for the floodgate of laughter to pour out as she lifted her head up. He always noticed it before, her laughter, always so endearing and beautiful to him, now more than ever with his new recent feelings. His eyes were drawn to her slender neck, the few strands of hair that hung over her forehead, and her oh so gorgeous smile. On realizing he was losing himself in thought, he shook his head and re-focused himself on what was important at the moment, making sure Luan was happy again.

She surprised him then by suddenly embracing him. "Thank you, Lincoln."

He eagerly returned the hug back. "I only did what you would do for me if I was bummed out too, but your welcome. It's nice to see you in a good mood again."

"I'm sorry things turned out like this. If I had known …"

"Hey, it's alright honestly, just walking beside you or just sitting and talking is more than enough for me. Anything else we might do is just a bonus."

She tightened her hold slightly. "You can be really sweet and cheesy sometimes, you know that?"

"Heh, is that a bad thing?"

"Not at all. Not one bit."

As they held one another they each took in each other's presence. For Lincoln he felt her warmth, a deep contrast to the droplets of cold water that fell on him. Her fragrance, the mixture of her sweet pea scent with the fresh earthy smell of the rain as it hit the earth.

For Luan, the world remained silent as she could only hear the soothing rhythm of his beating heart. His comforting neutral scent that she still couldn't place, but soothing nonetheless coupled with the tender softness of his skin as she rubbed her cheek against his.

She deliberated during their tender tranquility, whether or not this would be a good a chance as any to convey her feelings. Ultimately, she decided not to, for he deserved better than this failed attempt, then forming the question how now to go about it. She couldn't risk using up her groups emergency day already, not when Luna and Lucy haven't made their attempts yet, meaning if she was going to come up with anything it had to be today.

Her eyes looked to the grey sky and knew the clouds had no qualms on continuing their downpour on them. Where then could she go that wasn't her home or outdoors? As her gaze ventured back downward her sights locked on to her supply cart, more specifically the brand name on her supplies.

"THAT'S IT!", She shouted, startling Lincoln slightly.

"What's it?!", Linc responded.

Luan stared at him square in the face. "Someplace that might just turn this whole day around! That is … if you don't mind coming with me … and being in public a bit while your covered in this gunk."

"How could I say no to an eager face like that?", He said without hesitation.

"Really?!"

"Yeah, let's go."

"Ok, come on! The sooner we get there the better our chances!"

"Shouldn't we wait for the bus?"

"That thing will take forever! Time's a-wasting, keep up!"

With a glimmer of hope restored, Luan grabbed her cart and sped off towards her destination with Lincoln in hot pursuit. She didn't know if things would go as smoothly as she'd hope but she had to take the gambit. After all, she didn't want to be the first to flop on their plans, not when Luna and Lori thought she was so sharp in the mind.

As they ran a plethora of gags and jokes ran through her mind, each centered towards her target. The acts were ready, the performer was more than willing, now she had to acquire her stage.

"Hm, I am pretty quick-witted huh.", She thought with a devious smile.


? ? ?: Luan

By the end of her second act Luan was already juggling over nine balls, an impressive feat Lincoln thought.

"Hey Luan." Her tall assistant called out. "I'm going to head out now. Remember, I'm trusting you two."

"Alright Mr. Puga. Thanks again for letting us use this place."

"No problem.", Puga replied.

Puga then moved over to Lincoln and handed him a small remote before going towards the room's only exit.

"Don't stay too long guys, have a good afternoon. Also, don't leave anything behind otherwise it'll stay stuck here until I come back to re-open the store." Said Puga before heading out.

With his departure Luan caught and held all her juggling balls before gracefully dismounting her unicycle and taking a bow. Lincoln then looked to the remote he was handed and pushed a button, resulting in the sounds of an audience's cheers coming out of the rooms speakers. Not wanting to be outdone by a machine Lincoln gave her his own adulations as he clapped.

"Bravo! Bravo!", He cried.

"Aw, thanks Lincoln. So, you ready to help me with my third and final act?"

"You want me to be part of an act?"

"Sure, you're already dressed for the part after all."

Lincoln looked down to his new set of clothes. "Oh yeah, guess I am."

Luan set down the unicycle and juggling balls in the corner of the stage as Lincoln came up. "Just like Maggie's party last time huh."

"Ha, except there isn't a group of emo tweens who want to rip me to shreds. Alright, how are we doing this?"

"Like before, follow my lead Lincoln. We'll just work out one simple little skit … together~."


August 10, 2017 Royal Woods Mall, Left Shopping Corridor Thursday Afternoon: Luan and Lincoln

After trekking through the harsh storm, the soaked pair made their way into the malls left interior, ignoring the curious look here and there from the casual passerby. During their entire time inside though, Luan couldn't help but notice Linc walking awfully close and stretching his arms every now and then blocking her view of people.

"Lincoln?"

"Yeah?"

"Not that I don't mind but … why are you covering me? With how you're the one that's dirty I figure this should be reversed."

"Y-you really haven't noticed?"

"Noticed what?"

"Um … your shirt …"

Luan looked at her shirt and saw no stains on it. "I'm clean as a whistle Linc."

Lincoln's face slightly blushed. "Um, look closer."

Luan looked closer and still saw no stains, her shirt was pure white aside from her yellow bra that showed through. She was about to brush it off as nothing but soon realized what he meant, instantly covering herself with her hands.

"Oh jeez." She whispered. "How long?"

"F-for a while since we got near the mall. No worries though, every time some perv tried to sneak a peek I blocked his view."

"Ah, the stretching."

"Yeah, sorry I thought you knew already honestly."

"It's ok, thanks for looking out for me again … My chivalrous protector~."

"N-no problem just d-doing what's right is all. So how close are we?"

"We're here." Said Luan as she paused.

Lincoln looked up and cocked his head at the store's name. "Fanny's Prank Emporium? Why does that seem so familiar?"

"Oh, it's where I get my April Fool's supplies and things for Funny Business. I usually order online, but if it can't wait I visit this little branch store. Come on, it's open still."

They pulled open the glass door and instead of being met with the classic ding of a bell announcing customers, they were instead graced with the sound of a slide whistle.

"Hello!" An older gentleman announced at the back of the store. "Welcome to … Oh, hey Luan!"

"Hi Mr. Puga.", She replied.

"What can I do for you today? Whoopie Cushions? Fake vomit? … Real vomit? Haha! I kid, I kid."

"Actually, I don't have much on me and I was sort of hoping you could put what I want on my tab."

"For my best client? Sure, no problem. What do need?"

"Um for starters, how about some clothes for me and my brother. We sort of got hit hard by the weather today."

Puga gestured to one of the aisles in the store. "Take your pick."

Moving along Luan quickly spotted what she wanted, a new mime outfit. She had planned on getting a new one either way since her old one was getting a tad tight around the chest nowadays. She looked for one that fit her and after finding it looked for another in Lincoln's size, considering he would need one with her newfound plan.

"There's only one dressing room here Linc, so mind if I go first?"

"No, go on ahead."

With a slight stroke of her fingers through Lincoln's still wet hair, Luan entered the changing room while Linc stood by the register.

"So." Puga stated, getting Linc's attention. "You must be Lincoln."

"You know me?"

"Oh sure, Luan has mentioned you nearly every time she's been in here. Doesn't take a genius to figure out when all you've got to go by is that she only has one brother, much less him having white hair."

"Heh, I guess when you put it like that."

"Yeah, haha. I also hear you have a great sense of humor."

"I have been living with the best comedian around all my life."

"Ha! Funny and a sweet talker? High school is going to be good to you my friend."

"What do you me-"

"Ok Linc. Changing room's all yours now." Said Luan as she came out.

Eager to get out of his damp clothes he wasted no time getting in. "Be back in a jiff."

As the changing door shut Luan turned to Puga. "Um, Mr. Puga?"

"Yes?"

"There's another favor I'd like to ask you. Do you think it's possible if … I could use the comedic room for a while?"

"Sorry no can do kiddo. I'm about to close up shop soon and …" He saw the pit of disappointment forming in her eyes then. "But … seeing as how you are the best customer this store has … tell you what, you can use it."

"Really?!", She exclaimed.

"Yeah sure, why not. I'll stay for a while and when I go lock up, you two can hang around a bit. Besides, if you end up taking anything, I do have your home address on file so I can steal stuff back if necessary. Haha! … But seriously, I'm trusting you."

"Oh, thank you Mr. Puga!"

"So how do I look?", Lincoln said coming back into the store.

"Handsome." Luan replied without hesitance. "So Linc, I got great news!"

"What is it?"

"My friend Puga here is letting us use the stage in the back of the store! As thanks for coming to help me today, I want to give you your own private performance. What do you say?"

"Wow a whole afternoon filled with laughter? I'm." Linc gestured to his clothes. "Speechless."

As Lincolns listened to the sounds of Luan's laughter he heard the faint noise of a rimshot emanating from a door near the register. "What was that?"

"That." Puga answered while holding up a remote. "Was this. It's just a little prop device connected to some speakers in the next room with various sound affects at the push of a button. So, you two ready?"

The youths eagerly nodded as they followed Puga towards the previous mentioned door. Once inside Lincoln took in the room, admiring the shine from the wooden stage as the lights came on. He glanced at the neatly spaced chairs facing it, and the speakers orderly spread amongst the walls to create a sense of ambience when they gave off a noise.

"Wow, this place seems very professional.", Linc stated.

"Thanks." Puga responded. "I try to keep it at its upmost prime for your sister and all the other comedians in Royal Woods who want to practice their craft."

Luan then took a poke at Lincoln gaining his attention. "Linc you go take a seat over there right in the middle."

Lincoln nodded and moved into place.

Luan looked to Puga. "Mr. Puga mind being my assistant for a bit?"

"No problem Luan, just remember I'll be going in a bit."

"It's ok I just need help with my second act, Lincoln can get involved with the third."

With that said the three took their positions Lincoln in the center with a full view of the stage, Mr. Puga on the side with sound effect remote in hand, and Luan pooling her determination behind the stage curtain.

This was it, this was her chance, her chance to tell him how she felt. Letting out a breath she was holding Luan then moved onto the stage in full view of Lincoln as Mr. Puga cued an audiences cheer.


Royal Woods Mall, Fanny's Prank Emporium Branch Store Thursday Afternoon: Luan and Lincoln

Everything panned out perfectly so far Luan thought as she gazed at Lincoln. All that stood in her way now was this simple skit.

"Ready Lincoln?" Said Luan as she approached him.

"Yep."

"Good. So the skit is very simple, it's a love story~."

Lincoln slightly blushed. "Um, a love story?"

"Yep, a love story. It only takes two people, a handsome gentleman which you got going hands down, and a beautiful woman." Luan reached for her scrunchie and pulled it off as her light caramel hair drooped down to her waist. "Problem is, I don't know if I fit the part of the woman. So tell me … am I beautiful Lincoln?"

"OH GOD, NOT AGAIN!", Lincoln thought as he was glad none of his other sisters had their hair tied up, save for Lana, for at this rate his heart would really explode from sheer radiating beauty.

"Heh, come on Linc, we haven't started our act yet. No need to be silent haha, how do I look?"

Linc gulped and stuttered the first words that crossed his mind. "S-stunning … v-very stunning."

A gentle red graced her cheeks. "Aw, thanks, there's that charming slash cheesy side of you coming out again."

"S-so how are we going to act out this whole story?"

"With two simple actions."

Lincoln cocked his head. "Just two?"

"Of course Lincoln, after all actions speak louder than words. Like what you've done today and all my life."

"Huh?"

She moved slowly closer. "Your always so tender and attentive, protective and devoted, striking and pure."

She stopped a mere inch away from him. "Just being near you now … now that I've come to terms recently with how I feel about you. It's so hard to control myself, much less my beating heart."

"Luan?"

She gently cupped his cheeks and admirably looked into his eyes. "I can't even bring myself to say the three soul bearing words I want to tell you right now. So that's why … we have to do this little love story. I'll start it, but you will be the one who decides how it ends. I just want you to follow your heart when it begins."

"L-lua-"

Lincoln's words were cut off as Luan linked their lips together. She slowly began to tear up as a smile formed on her face from the pure joy she felt for finally showing him her true feelings. She didn't want this wonderful moment to end, but it had to for her part of the act was done. Hesitantly, she pulled away and wiped her tears, then looking to the now flustered Lincoln.

His mind was blank, the only noticeable strain of thought focusing on how rapid his heart was beating. He looked at Luan and felt a multitude of emotions, all positive yet not coherently forming into words, ironically the same position she was in moments ago. A movement then caught his attention, his own, slowly feeling his lips form into a smile on their own.

The second act relied on him he thought, though he was unsure at how to proceed as his mind remained muddled. With precious seconds passing by, he decided to fall back on what never steered him wrong before and what Luan had said to follow, his heart. Slowly then did his arms reach out behind her and grasped her hips, drawing her closer till their lips reunited once again.

The second kiss became considerably more passionate as both now knew the others affection towards one another. Tongues caressed one another as both took in each other's taste and felt the rhythmic sync of their beating hearts. Both became lost in the awe of this jubilant union, until an important detail traveled through the back of Luan's mind.

"Holy shit!", She cried out as she parted from Lincoln.

"Well it was a pretty good kiss.", Linc replied as he shyly scratched the back of his head.

She gave him a small nibble on his lips. "Haha not that silly, but yes it was an amazing kiss. I'm talking about the bus back home."

His eyes shot open. "Holy shit! What time is it?!"

Luan checked her cell. "We should still make it in time for the last bus if we hurry."

"Alright let's go!"

"Wait Linc!"

"Yeah?"

"There's something I want to do really quick!"

"What?"


Loud House, Dining Room Thursday Evening

"Lincoln's gone again? Also where's Luan?", Lynn Sr. asked as he served the family Thursday's goulash.

"He's just making the most of his last days of summer by hanging out with us.", Luna said covering for him and Luan, hoping their day went smoothly.

"Now isn't that sweet of him." Rita added. "It's so nice to see you all bonding."

Knock Knock Knock

Luna held back her desire to laugh at her mother's words as she got up. "I'll get it."

She made her way to the foyer and opened the front door to reveal two beaming faces. "Hey guys, how was the gig?"

"Oh, it got cancelled cause of the rain.", Lincoln stated as he passed by.

"What?! I thought that storm was only around our neighborhood!"

Luan placed a hand on Luna's shoulder and whispered into her ear. "Don't worry I'll shower you with the details after dinner."

Both sisters shared a laugh and a pat on the back as they made their way back into the dining room. There the usual routine passed by once more, as those who were uninvolved in the current scheme of things took in Luan's beaming smile as a normal sign of another Funny Business Inc. success. The fact that Lynn sat beside her didn't even bother Luan in the slightest.

After their plates were emptied and the dishes were done, everyone went their separate ways to their rooms. Noticing that Lincoln was lagging a bit behind, Luan slowed her movements too as the others closed their doors. She then turned and gently flicked his turkey tail, gaining his attention, before she planted her goodnight kiss on his lips.

"Goodnight Lincoln."

"Goodnight Luan."

The two shared a final embrace and another kiss before they parted towards their rooms. In Lincoln's, the young man stripped himself down to his usual nighttime attire as he added today's events to his already brimming mind. In Luan's she was met with the eagerness of her roommate slash sister.

"So, did your plan work out or not?", Luna asked.

"No, my first plan washed out.", Luan replied as she chuckled and got into bed.

"So how did things work out after that?"

"I came up with another idea on the spot. You were right I am quick-witted."

"Heh, told ya dude. So you told him you loved him and everything then?"

"Well not at first, before I told him on the bus ride home I showed him I loved him and then he showed it to me back."

"Bitching. Glad to hear things turned out well. So did you tell him that you know about Lori, Leni, and Lynn?"

"Not exactly. On the bus I also told him I knew there was someone else and when he asked me how I just told him I had a gut feeling."

"And he didn't tell you about the others himself?"

"No. I didn't want to load more pressure on him so I told him to mull it over and that whoever else he currently liked was fine by me since we aren't officially together."

"Hm, I'm impressed you really thought all that through huh."

"Yeah after all, Lynn hasn't agreed with us so I can't let him know that I know everything. It's still some pressure on him in the end but not as much if I revealed the whole truth."

"Good point."

"So how did your talk with Lynn go today?"

"I wanted to chuck her out the window … our window … still do."

"*sigh* That bad huh?"

"Yeah, but I don't want to think about it too much. I want to catch up on some z's instead for my big day tomorrow. Besides, Leni cheered me up in her own way earlier in the day. Oh! Speaking of, you want a cute picture of Lincoln?"

"No thanks, I'm good."

"You sure?"

Luan swiped open her phone and gazed at her new treasured possession, a photo of her and Lincoln from earlier today. The two formed a heart with each other's hands as they rested their heads against one another facing the camera.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I already have one of my own.", Luan said with a loving smile.


AN

Nice, even after cutting some stuff out still passed the 10k barrier. This was by far the hardest chapter considering all the dang puns and jokes I had to come up with. The truck splashing water scene was an ode of sorts to one of AberrantScript's stories. Also for reference Mrs. Shropshire and Mr. Puga are actually the writer and the storyboard artist respectively for the episode "Funny Business". I plan to keep OC characters out of the story as much as possible so I included these two. Heck, I even named the mall cop in chapter eight Ernie today because of an official Loud House podcast where Leni knows one by that name. On another note, I've met my new quota so I'll be updating my profile yet again, not sure what to add after this one so if you got any suggestions to what I should add to my profile go ahead and pm me. As always leave a review of your opinions/questions. One last thing, loved the "Tricked!" special that came out. Actually, it couldn't have been more perfect for my story to tailor around with unless they put my name in the credits haha. Expect me to make references to that episode when I write up my Halloween chapter. Alright see you all next time!
