Rita continued, "I'm not finished Lola, starting tomorrow you'll begin dressing like a normal girl. You have cute outfits just hanging in your closet that you haven't worn in almost two years. When your punishments over, you're only allowed to wear your gowns, gloves and tiaras for pageants and can only wear them in the house when you have tea parties."

"You mean I can't wear them to school or in public anymore?" Lola squealed.

"That's right," Rita replied.

"Well I won't go to school, you can homeschool me," Lola declared then crossed her arms defiantly.

"Not an option, your mom and I have to earn a living," her father responded firmly.

"You can keep your pets Lana," he added. Lana breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of school, Luna, Luan, Lynn Jr. Lola, Lana, Lucy and Lisa we're sending you to summer school," Lynn Sr. declared.

Upon hearing the dreaded words 'summer school', the girls and Lincoln released out a collective gasp.

"Noo, you can't do that to us," Luan cried in despair.

"If I go to summer school I'll literally die," Lucy wailed. Luna released a groan.

"It's just three more weeks after this one," Rita told her daughters

"How do you know the schedule, you've never sent us?" Luna asked

"Mrs. Hart told me her son Jeffrey attends summer school," Rita replied

Luna knew Jeffrey since he was in her History and English classes. At the block party she saw him sneaking some soda when his mother left to assist Mrs. Stewart with something.

"There's only one problem mother, there's no summer school for children my age," Lisa said.

"No problem Lisa, you'll go with Lana and Lola to their classes," Rita told her.

"What, that's totally ludicrous, it's bad enough I have to attend a low-level educational institution with below average children, I have to go in the summer?" Lisa declared arrogantly.

"All right then, we'll drop you at Aunt Ruth in the mornings then take your sisters to school," Rita replied

Lisa looked a little disgusted at the idea of going to Ruthie.

"Oh summer school's fine," she said hastily.

"We'll go into work a little later to drive you to school, but after school you're taking the school bus and head straight to Mr. Grouse where you'll stay until we get home," Lynn Sr. said.

"You expect us to take the school bus?" Luan complained.

"Why do we have to stay with grumpy old Mr. Grouse?' Lola whined.

"Because you need adult supervision when we're working. You can do your homework to keep you occupied," Rita responded to Lola's question.

"When summer school ends you'll attend the day camp at the community center," Rita added.

"Lori and Leni both of you will come straight home after work and start dinner," Lynn Sr. added, "On the weekends, you be kept occupied doing lots of chores we will assign to each of you."

The girls looked horror-struck upon hearing about the chores.

"When you're not busy with chores you can relax and read books," he told them.

"And every night you'll go to bed at eight thirty, tomorrow I'm staying home to supervise you girls and your father is leaving work early to help."

Lynn Sr. had thought of something else while his wife talked about the girls attending the day camp at the community center.

"Girls, if you have any sibling meetings planned for the next two months please cancel them, we don't want you plotting against us," he told them.

"Luan I know you are booked to perform at birthday parties so you'll keep only the things you need to rehearse and carry with you," Mr. Loud said.

A few seconds passed then Rita spoke again. This is the reason why she asked Lincoln to stay.

"Here's a warning, you better not threaten Lincoln physically, blackmail or guilt trip him into convincing us to change our minds about your punishment because if you do we'll send you to stay with Aunt Ruth until Christmas, do I make myself clear," Rita said firmly.

"Yes mother," they all uttered dejectedly.

"Give us your phones after calling your friends to cancel your plans with them and your laptops. Lori and Luna that means you have to cancel all your dates with Bobby and Sam. We're coming upstairs to see if you're hiding any extra phones," Lynn Sr. said firmly.

"You're excused," Rita finally said.

The girls gratefully scrambled upstairs as quickly as possible.

Lori picked up her phone to call Bobby. They had a dinner date this Saturday evening at Jean Juan's restaurant in Royal Woods. He would sleep at a friend's house then drive back into the city the next morning. Lori decided to not mention the physical attack on Aidan.

"Hi Lori, what's happening, how was the Block Party?" he answered.

"Oh we had a great time, Mr. Winter's burgers were delicious," she replied.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself my family just finished eating two hours ago. I was just watching TV with Carlito," he replied.

"Er, Bobby,"…she hesitated, "I have to cancel our date for Saturday and any future dates for the summer."

"Why?" her boyfriend inquired in surprise.

"Well Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn and I were involved in a heated argument with this boy at the party. Mom and dad got furious and are punishing us until for a long time. They're taking away all our phones and laptops so I cannot talk to you until then," Lori explained with regret in her voice.

"Oh no," Bobby declared, then pondered for a moment. "Well we can reschedule another date when you get back your phone."

"Okay speak to you after I'm released from prison, boo boo bear," she said.

"Bye Lori," he replied.

Meanwhile Lynn Jr. had to leave text messages for Polly and Margo since they didn't answer their phones directly. The parents came into their rooms shortly and asked for their daughter's cell phones which the girls handed over dejectedly.

Later

Most of the residents of Franklin Avenue were watching the fireworks display at Ketcham Park. Meanwhile Rita, Lynn Sr. and Lincoln were watching the Macy's annual Fourth of July fireworks display on TV. The girls meanwhile were in bed struggling to fall asleep except Lola, Leni and Lynn Jr. who fell asleep quickly.

Meanwhile Aidan Presley was recovering in bed reading a book while his grandparents watched the Macy special on TV. He still felt bruised from the injuries that he received from the six Loud sisters. Earlier, his grandmother, who was a nurse had taken him home to treat his injuries while the others who stopped the brawl were cleaning up the mess left behind.

"It was so humiliating getting beat up by a bunch of girls," Aidan admitted during the walk home, then added, "I had no idea the little ones would be so vicious."

"It's because they learned it from their older sisters," his grandmother had remarked.

"Thank goodness I'm going home on Friday," he muttered. Aidan lived in Hazeltucky with his parents and was spending the week with his grandparents while his parents were away on a business trip.

"I hope I don't see those six savage girls again," he thought as he placed the book on the bed stand.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "That's it, I'll call them the "Savage Six." His grandmother entered a few minutes later with some hot chocolate.

Back at the Louds after the Macy's fireworks display ended, the parents were getting into bed. They were satisfied at the punishment they meted out to their daughters.

"Do you think the girl's behavior will improve after all this is over?" Lynn Sr. said to his wife.

"We can only hope," Rita responded, "Good night honey," then kissed him on his left cheek before they turned off their lamps.

"I really hope it does," Rita thought tiredly before yawning.

Meanwhile Lincoln was lying in bed thinking about all the punitive measures his parents were imposing on his sisters.

"It's going to be really quiet around here with no fights over the TV, no pranks and no loud rock music," he thought before dozing off into sleep.
