Albert was sitting behind the driver seat as Lynn Sr. headed to the mall. The party was at the same venue of Zach's birthday party. Albert began mulling over his son in law revealing that he was afraid of Lola.

"This man has given away his masculinity, it's just unbelievable. I wish Marie was still here to help discipline them," Albert thought bitterly.

When Rita was studying Dental Assisting at Royal Woods Community College, Albert and his wife who died when Lynn Jr. was five months old, would spend alternate evenings taking care of the five older girls while Rita did her homework. Lynn Sr. bought takeout food almost every weekday because of working late at his IT job.

Once when Lori was five she punched Leni because the second born spilled apple juice by accident on the dress of one of Lori's dolls. Albert remembered his wife scolding Lori, "How could you hit your sister," then swatted her three times on her behind with an open palm, then told the sobbing Lori, "Please apologize to Leni." After Lori obeyed Marie then wiped the apple juice from the dolls dress.

"I will talk to the girls on Monday evening then have another talk with Lincoln about the bullying," Albert mused.

"Lynn how much longer is Lincoln working at the restaurant," he decided to ask.

"Until Thursday this week," Lynn Sr. responded.

Meanwhile back home, the girls except Leni were downstairs. Lori had instructed Luna and Lynn Jr. to wash the dishes after the adults left while she supervised the others in the living room. Leni was still working on the dress she started Saturday. Lucy was curled up on the small couch writing in a black notebook. Lisa and Lola were reading books while Lana was playing a game on her cell phone. Lori had settled Lily down on the carpet with her building blocks. Lincoln resumed assembling the model airplane right after dinner and was still working on it.

Eventually the old van reached the Mall. The men loaded Luan's equipment into the back of Vanzilla while Luan, still wearing a mime outfit climbed into the seat behind Rita.

"How was the performance honey," Rita asked smiling.

"It was superb mom," Luan responded smiling back.

"Mom, take this cake and give it to Pop-Pop," Luan said referring to a slice of vanilla cake she received at the party.

"That's very considerate of you dear," Rita replied beaming before taking the cake.

Minutes later Albert and Lynn Sr. were unloading Luan's things in the Loud's driveway while Rita and Luan headed inside.

"Hi Lori is everything all right," Rita asked her eldest who was on the couch reading to Lily. After finishing in the kitchen, Luna and Lynn Jr. picked up books and joined Lana and Lisa.

"Yes mom," Lori replied.

Rita placed the cake in the refrigerator. Albert went immediately to Lincoln's bedroom after he and Lynn Sr. placed Luan's equipment inside her room.

He knocked softly on the door. Lincoln rose from his bed where he was taking a breather after working on the plane for a while and answered, "Come in."

Albert gave a loud whistle upon seeing his grandson's progress with the plane.

"Your plane's coming along nicely," he admitted.

"Thanks Pop-Pop," Lincoln remarked then beamed.

"Look kiddo I want to know what your plans are this Friday?" Albert asked.

"Well I might hang with my friends at the arcade," he responded.

"How about we spend some time together?" Albert asked.

Lincoln smiled wider this time then replied, "I'd love to Pop-Pop, how about some go-cart racing, then lunch at the mall."

"Allright kiddo I'll come here at eleven a.m," Albert said before leaving.

Lincoln resumed working on the plane. Lucy went outside on the porch to continue writing so Albert sat in the small armchair and turned on his radio that was on a side table.

Lori headed upstairs to find an outfit for work then take a shower before anyone else. Lisa, Luna, the twins and Lynn Jr. headed to their rooms. Rita to work on her novel and Lynn Sr. was reading one in their bedroom.

The kids were fast asleep by 8:30 pm. Albert found Lincoln sleeping on his bed but didn't want to wake him so he asked his daughter if he could sleep on the couch and Rita agreed.

"Rita I've decided to leave Tuesday morning so I can discuss with the girls the issues we talked about," he added.

"Fine with me dad," Rita replied before saying, "Good night dad."

On Monday morning the parents, Lincoln and Lori departed while the others remained in bed. Leni asked her boss Mrs. Carmichael for the day off last Thursday. "What do you all want to do today," Albert asked the girls after they ate breakfast. They had Rice Krispies and hot cocoa prepared while Albert fixed oatmeal and a cup of coffee for himself. Everyone was already dressed.

"Mom used to take me Lola, Lisa and Lucy to the library before we got punished," Lana said.

"We'll go in a few minutes, but Luna, Junior and Luan you have to come with us and Leni you stay here and take care of Lily," Albert told her.

"I'll be right back he added," before going upstairs.

He phoned the transport office at the center on his phone. "Good Morning Louisa, it's me Albert look I've decided to return tomorrow morning. I'll take a cab so tell Carl he doesn't have to come," Albert said.

"I'll tell him thanks for telephoning," Louisa replied.

Once the call was completed Albert and the girls headed for the bus stop.

At the library, the older girls spent time on the computers while the other girls attended the story hour. The girls partook of the free lunch provided. Albert spent the whole time watching old TV shows on a computer with headphones provided.

It was three o'clock when they arrived home. Lincoln was in his bedroom resting while Lily was napping and Leni was sewing another dress. The girls headed to their rooms to take a nap after drinking water since they arrived hot and thirsty from travelling on the bus. Albert began looking for something to cook for dinner.

Later….

"Another excellent dinner dad," Rita told her father. Albert made mashed potatoes and baked tilapia with green peas. Lynn Sr. was still at the restaurant.

"Thanks Pop-Pop," the younger girls chanted together.

Albert smiled then announced, "Kids I've decided to stay until tomorrow morning."

"Hooray!" the younger ones cheered and the others just beamed with happiness.

Then his tone changed to a serious one, "Girls I want to talk with you. Lincoln could you go upstairs to your room."

Lincoln without a word quickly left the dining room while Rita headed for the master bedroom. Albert waited for three minutes before clearing his throat.

"I'd like to discuss what your folks and I talked about yesterday. They revealed quite a lot about your behavior including bullying your brother and I'm not pleased," Albert began then looked at the girls sternly.

"First your dad told me about the time you girls and Lincoln persuaded him to replace the van. Lana and Lola, when you wanted to do your presentation and Lincoln said your dad already decided to buy another van, Lola you shouted you and Lana spent four hours on the presentation then screamed at him to sit down. Lincoln got scared of you and shrank in fear. Do you remember?" then looked at Lola sternly.

Lola finally answered a little timidly, "Yes."

Albert continued, "Then your mother told me about your appalling behavior that day at the supermarket causing the management to ban your family for a while. Junior the supermarket isn't a race track, you could have ran over an elderly person or a small child and Luan some people buy those eggs to feed their kids. Leni and Lucy the management spends lots of dollars purchasing the lobsters and making those cakes. Lisa what is your reason for laying on the frozen peas?"

"You see, I was doing research because I intended to make a cryogenic freezer," Lisa explained.

Albert raised an eyebrow, "Your mom said Lincoln was getting frantic and told all of you to stop misbehaving."

"He did Pop-Pop," Leni replied.

Then Albert glanced at Luna with a withering look making the teen uncomfortable.

"And after Lincoln finally got his cereal back from another kid who grabbed it just when he was about to take it, when he told you in the checkout line about arranging with your mom to buy the cereal, you Luna grabbed it from him and held it above your head and taunting him with it like a typical schoolyard bully, I can't believe you could treat your brother like that," Albert said harshly.

"Believe me Pop-Pop, I actually felt guilty for two days afterwards," Luna said sadly.

"But Lori arranged for Bobby to buy a box since he worked there and the next morning we gave Lincoln the cereal," Leni admitted.

Albert nodded then replied, "Your mom told me that," before continuing.

"Now Junior since you're the main one picking on Lincoln, why are you so rough with him? Your mom talked about coming home from community service and saw you pinning him to the floor in a wrestling hold."

"Sometimes I surprise him with a Luche Libre because it's the only way to play a sport with him, no big deal," Lynn said.

"I'm also not happy about your appalling manners toward him, belching in his face and making him smell your farts by putting a sheet over his face," he said next.

"But sometimes I pick on the others too," Lynn Jr. answered

"Yes Pop-Pop, she gives us apology punches instead of saying sorry when she spoils our fun," Lola piped up.

"Now about the Sister Fight Protocol," Albert continued causing the girls to get more nervous.

Well Lisa created the protocol and we all agreed it was a perfect idea… Luna began.
