Okay now, readers here is the third chapter to this story.

Now, for this chapter, the sisters will begin working on getting Lincoln sobered up, where they'll be doing the parts that fit them best with their characterizations. How will they be able to handle getting their brother sober? Find out now!

AT THE LOUD HOUSE:

Sometime later, Lori had already taken off her stained shirt and went down to the washer, where she placed it in there, and it would be washed with some other laundry sometime later. As soon as she left the basement, she went over to Leni and informed her that she'll take over with handling Lincoln. The ditzy sister obliged and left Lori to her work. When she was gone, Lori dragged her little brother into the kitchen, where she placed him in the chair right at the kiddie table. It was time to start his road to sobriety.

As Lincoln was shown mumbling and hiccuping frequently, she started to make some strong black coffee, while also keeping an eye on Lincoln so he doesn't wander off.

She then frowned as she got to thinking. She knew that it was wrong to give coffee to a kid, since they don't need it, given that they already have all the energy they need. However, because he got himself drunk, she had to do it just this one just to get him back to normal.

It took a few minutes, but eventually, the coffee was done brewing and the result was in the coffee jug. Lori smiled as she got out a coffee mug from the cup cabinet and placed it on the counter. She then took the jug and poured the black coffee right into the coffee mug, letting it spew all its steaming glory from the mug. When she was done with that, she put the jug back on the coffee stand, grabbed the coffee mug, and approached the kiddie table that Lincoln was sitting at. She placed it down right in front of him and Lincoln was curious as to what it was.

"Hiccup...ooooh...what are we having...L-L-L-Lori…?" Lincoln questioned.

Lori had a crossed look in her eyes as she proclaimed to him. "Well, for starters Lincoln, you are going to have some strong black coffee. And you're going to drink it all just to sober up."

This alone was enough to set Lincoln off, who started acting like a little kid.

"I don't wanna," Lincoln whined. "I don't wanna drink coffee."

"Well Lincoln, you literally should have thought about that before drinking that liquor," Lori sighed, knowing that she'll have to make him drink it. "Now drink that coffee!"

"No…" Lincoln protested, swerving back and forth on the chair. "N-No…hic…No way…"

"Look, unless you want to have your big sister force you to literally drink it, you will drink that stuff down," Lori was getting stern with him as she glowered.

"I still do not-hic…wanna," Lincoln continued to be defiant. "I'm not drinking that!"

"I'm giving you one last chance," she warned him. "Guzzle down that black coffee, twerp."

"Never…" Lincoln hissed in protest. "You can't make me! You can't make me…Mama!"

All of a sudden, Lori was caught off guard and looked at him in surprise. Her eyes went wide, and a faint pink blush formed on the cheeks of her face.

"Did...did you literally just call me...m-mama?" Lori stuttered out of shock.

He…He called me 'Mama'... Lincoln hasn't called me 'Mama' since he was literally a baby… Her blush was becoming more apparent as it started to turn rosy red.

By this point, Lincoln was in a dumbfounded state as he was staring at her. Lori was quick to notice this, and she decided to use this state to her advantage. In a flash, Lori grabbed the coffee mug with her right hand and held Lincoln down firmly with her left hand, making sure he doesn't getaway. He got out of that trance and was trying to squirm out of her grip, to no avail.

"No no no Lincy, you're not going anywhere," Lori shook her head. "Now since you choose not to drink this on your own, it looks like I'll have to literally make you drink it. So open your mouth."

She gets him to open up and his mouth was open wide enough for her to do her job. She brought the mug to his mouth, tipped it towards him and slowly jugged down the coffee into his mouth, getting him to swallow it down while she kept holding him down like a baby. Lincoln stops drinking for a second when it went down his throat and he started gagging.

"Bleh…ick…that tastes…terrible…" Lincoln moaned while cringing.

"Yup," Lori nodded. "It does taste like that, but it'll literally help you get better. Now drink some more."

With that, Lori forced him to drink some more of the black coffee down the hatch as she kept him down.

As she kept doing this to her brother, Lori had to wonder if the twins were beginning their part of the plan in the bathroom already. She took a deep breath and called out to them.

"LANA?! LOLA?! ARE YOU TWO STARTING TO USE UP THAT HOT WATER YET!?" Lori hollered to them from the kitchen, hoping they could hear her from upstairs.

"NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE, MADAME," Lola shouted from upstairs. "HER HIGHNESS IS DRAPED IN A TOWEL, AND SHE IS GETTING READY TO TAKE A NICE HOT SHOWER!"

"YEAH, I AM GOING TO USE UP THE HOT WATER TOO, SIS," Lana hollered from upstairs too. "SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT US!"

Upstairs, in front of the bathroom, Lola had arrived onto the scene as she entered the bathroom. She was wrapped in two towels. One was covering her body, and the other one was wrapped around her hair; both towels were pink as she approached the bathtub and got the water running. She made sure it was extra hot so she could make this nice and refreshing. As soon as the water was hot enough, Lola jumped into the tub and closed the curtain behind her so she could be given some privacy. She threw the towels off of her where they were then hanging over the edge of the shower bar, and then got it to switch to shower mode.

As she was doing that, Lana was already approaching the bathroom, but she had something with her. In her hands was a frog tank, while consisted of all of her froggy friends, including Hops. It appears that she was going to allow them to swim in the bathroom sink when it gets filled up with hot water.

"Okay my little frogs, your pal Lana is going to fill up the sink so you guys can swim for a bit," Lana told them in a promising tone as she entered the bathroom while putting the tank down. "Now I'm going to fill this up with hot water so you guys can do your froggy stuff while swimming. Does that seem okay?"

The frogs croaked happily as Lana smiled at their display.

"Great," she beamed before getting to work.

Before turning on the water, she pulled the plug on the sink to make sure the drain was closed up. With that, she turned on the water and made sure it was hot enough to be wasting the hot water, but also cool enough for the frogs to handle taking a dip in. So in other words, she was making it semi-hot.

As soon as the sink was all filled up, Lana turned off the water and went to pick up the frog tank.

"Okay guys, I'm gonna take you guys out of your tank," she declared. "And when I do, I'm gonna put you all into the sink to swim for a bit. Are you guys ready?"

The frogs just croaked to show that they were ready.

"Alright. Hops, since you're the leader, you get to go first," Lana picked up Hops from the tank, and then she put Hops into the sink to swim.

"Now let's get the rest of you into the sink," Lana declared.

With that, she grabbed all the other frogs out from their tank and then placed them into the sink one by one. Eventually, she picked up the last frog and put it into the sink.

"And that's the last one," Lana smiled. "Now that that's all set, I got to go take care of your tank. I'll only be gone for a moment."

And thus she took the tank back to her room while the frogs floated in the water. It didn't take long for Lana at all, since once she was done with that, she went back into the bathroom to check up on her pollywog pals.

"Okay guys, I'm back. Now let's practice some swimming," Lana approached the sink and encouraged them.

And that's what the frogs did. Meanwhile, Lola had overheard this discussion and was wondering what her twin was doing with her frogs. Taking a peek from beyond the curtain, her head all covered in shampoo suds, she then got her attention.

"Uh, what are doing you doing Lana," she raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, I'm just giving my frogs a little swim for a bit. I'm not going to take a measly hot shower like you are, so I'm giving my frogs a soapless bath in the sink instead," Lana told her proudly. "My frogs are having more fun with swimming in this warm water than you are with taking your hot shower!"

In an instance, Lana blew a raspberry in Lola's direction. The pageant winning twin gasped before looking offended by that uncivil act and huff.

"As if I'd even care about that," Lola retorted before going back behind the curtain and resuming her hot shower.

Lana shrugged her shoulder and turned her attention back to her frogs.

"Okay, guys! Let's start with some warm-up swimming! And put some muscle into it too," Lana encouraged them. "Right stroke, left stroke! Right stroke, left stroke! Right stroke, left stroke…"

As she kept shouting that, the frogs were motivated and started swimming in the manner that Lana wanted them to do so.

"That's it guys," Lana told them. "Keep up the good work!"

They continued to swim, as Lana along with Lola was gradually starting to use up all of the hot water in the bathroom. It would take a while, but they should be done using it up soon…

By now, Lincoln was finished drinking all of the black coffee that was in the kitchen, thanks to Lori. 0nce it was all gone, Lori decided to release Lincoln and watched him panting repeatedly.

"There. Now, does that feel better," Lori asked him.

"Ugh...Ugh…Ah…Ack…" Lincoln panted and coughed a couple of times. "It was hot…and nasty…hic…"

"Well your in luck Linc," Lori rubbed his head, messing up his hair in the process. "You are all done with drinking coffee, and we can move onward."

"Oh, great…about time…thought that would never be done…hiccup," Lincoln murmured under his breath as he hiccupped some more.

It was now time that Lori begins the next step, and this requires the assistance of her jokester type of sister.

"Hey, Luan," she hollered out to her.

Then abruptly, we see Luan popping up from behind the fridge door that she opened up just recently and looked on with a smile.

"You rang Lori?" Luan asked her cheerfully.

"Cut that out Luan," Lori deadpanned to her. "Now listen, Lincoln had just finished drinking the black coffee, and now I need you to give him some appropriate beverages that we agreed on."

"Oh, I see," Luan caught on fast as she gave her a brief wink. Just give me one moment."

With that, Luan grabbed a couple of beverages from the fridge before closing the door. In her hands were a bottle of water, a bottle of orange juice, and a bottle of apple juice. Luan approached the table and placed the bottles right in front of Lincoln, as she went to grab a couple of glass cup from the cabinets.

"I hope that this stuff will be better than the coffee," Lincoln grumbled as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh trust me, Linc," Luan beamed as she put the two glass cups in front of him. "This stuff is nothing like that bitter old coffee. This stuff is so wet and juicy that you will be going at it with the waterworks! Hahahaha, get it?"

"Luan!" Lori scolded impatiently, wanting her to do her job and get done with it.

"Easy Lori, I'm just trying to lighten up the mood and get Lincoln in a better mood," Luan told her. "Now, let's start with some water."

And so, Luan poured some water into one of the glass cups while Lori stayed to observe and make sure Lincoln drinks all of the refreshments. Once Luan was finished pouring the water into the cup, she placed the cup of water right in front of Lincoln as she then encouraged him to drink it.

"Water you waiting for Lincoln? Time to guzzle that stuff down the hatch," Luan laughed. "Get it?"

Lincoln didn't bother reacting to that, as he slowly grabbed the cup of water, and took a sip of it. Unfortunately, it didn't sit well in his mouth, and thus he spat it out, right in Luan's face.

"Water you doing!? Say it, don't spray it!" She scolded him in a joking manner.

"Blech…it…it tastes like water…" Lincoln gagged.

"Water you expecting, root beer?" Luan claimed before giggling again.

"Cut it out with the water puns, Luan," Lori demanded before turning to Lincoln. "Now Lincoln, do I literally have to force you to drink the water too?"

"No Ma, I'll drink it," Lincoln murmured before taking the glass and drinking the water down.

A satisfied smirk emerged on Lori's face as he obeyed her command. It was especially evident when he called her 'ma'. She still can't get over how he's referring to her as his mother, but she wasn't going to complain. For now, she was going to go along with it.

As soon as he was done drinking the water, Lincoln put the cup back onto the table and took a deep breath.

"There…All finished…" He muttered.

"Good," Lori said. "Now you get to have orange juice. Luan, if you wouldn't mind?"

Luan nodded before taking the same cup and pouring orange juice into it. Once she finished, she placed the cup in front of Lincoln and cracked a grin.

"Orange juice glad I didn't say banana?" Luan joked once again before laughing.

"Uh-huh…" Lincoln nodded absentmindedly as he then took the cup and drank down the orange juice.

Fortunately, the outcome came with better results.

"Hic-wow…this stuff is better than-hic…the other stuff that I've been drinking," he slurred in acknowledgment as he finished it off.

"Well I'm proud of that, Lincoln," Luan claimed. "It makes me so happy to Vitamin C you drink that orange juice."

Lincoln didn't respond to Luan's latest pun, since he finished off the orange juice and put the cup back down. This was a sign that he was ready to have the last drink; apple juice.

Luan took the second glass cup and poured some of the apple juice into it. When she was finished, she delivered yet another pun.

"Now here's an apple that you can juice off of a cell phone," she laughed before gazing at Lori. "Get it, Lori? Get it?"

"Haha, yeah, that's a good one," Lori laughed sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "Just give our brother the apple juice already."

"Jeez, from the looks of it, you could use some too Lori," Luan mumbled quietly as she gives the glass to Lincoln.

Once he grabbed the cup, he decided to drink what was in there. Needless to say, he was pretty satisfied.

"Mmmm…This is good…" Lincoln said through gulping the juice down.

"It's more than good. Its applicious," Luan chucked once again.

With that, Lincoln proceeds to finish up the apple juice. Once he is done, he puts the glass cup back down on the table.

"Alright Lincoln, you did it," Luan acknowledged. "It's as they say; a glass of apple juice a day keeps the alcohol away. Hahahahaha, get it?"

"Luan, that isn't even the least bit funny," Lori criticized dryly.

"Oh come on," Luan defended. "I was just trying to humor him!"

"Whatever," Lori dismissed in a groan. "Anyway, it looks like you're done Luan. That's all you have to do for that. Thank you for giving Lincoln all those drinks."

"Anytime," Luan quirked as she put the drinks back in the fridge. "Some waterworks and juicy sensations are what I enjoy seeing."

As Luan chuckled again, Lori rolled her eyes in slight annoyance. By then, Luan closed the fridge door and was going to leave the kitchen.

"Alright, looks like I'll be making like a banana and splitting." Luan quipped as she passed by Lincoln. "My work here is done. You're welcome Lincoln."

With that, she headed up the stairs and back to her room, seeing that she did her job and was dismissed. Once she was out of sight, Lincoln then decided to ask Lori who was still with him.

"Uhhhhhh… what are we gonna-hic…do now, Lor?" Lincoln inquired curiously.

"Well, since Luan has given you those drinks, it's time for you to get a work-out and break a sweat to fight off that liquor," Lori exclaimed. "I'm bringing you to Lynn and Lucy's room so you can do exercises with Lynn."

"Awwww…do-hic…I have to?" Lincoln complained like a child.

"Yes," Lori told him with a blunt tone as she grabbed his arm and escorted upstairs to Lynn and Lucy's room so he can do the exercises that Lynn has in store for him. Lincoln still wasn't sure if exercising would do him good.

"Mom, will I…hiccup…have fun exercising?" Lincoln referred to Lori has his mother once again.

"Oh, trust me, my little Lincy," Lori cooed the last part in a rather teasing but well meaningful manner, acting like his mother to humor him. "You'll be having the ride of your life when you're exercising with Lynn. Once you get started with them, it'll be something, more or less."

Lincoln nodded simply as they went up the stairs without another word. They headed straight for Lynn and Lucy's room, as Lincoln was moving on to the exercising portion of the road to sobriety…

Sometime later, in Lynn's room that she shares with Lucy, Lynn had already gotten Lincoln to do some exercises with her, as Lori supervises him to see him do them. Lucy felt that Lynn would need the room for this step, so she took her poems and went into the air vent for a bit while they do their thing. Currently, Lincoln was starting by doing some jumping jacks, as he was doing his best to keep up with his sporty sister, albeit sluggishly. Sports and exercises were never a strong point for Lincoln in the first place, and they still aren't even when he's drunk and fighting to get sober.

As for the number of jumping jacks that he has to do, Lynn suggested a simple 15 ought to cover it for him. But as expected from the sporty girl she is, she ended up going over 15 jumping jacks as her brother is struggling to keep up.

"14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19," Lynn counted her jumping jacks as she watched her bro. "C'mon now bro! Put some muscle into it and keep it coming! You've only done 7 jumping jacks so far!"

"Hah…Hah…Hah…" Lincoln was growing tired as he kept on trying. "I ugh…I don't know how much more…I can take…gag…"

"Don't put yourself down, bro! You're doing great," Lynn tried to keep his hopes up as she counted his jumping jacks. "Now you've done 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15! That's 15 jumping jacks, dude!"

"Ooooh, thank goodness…" Lincoln huffed.

"Now that was just a warm-up exercise to get the blood pumping," Lynn told him. "Now we're gonna try jogging in place! You ready bro? GO!"

At that, Lynn started jogging in place instantaneously. Lincoln then went and started to jog in place afterwards, albeit a little slower than how Lynn was doing it.

It was clear that Lincoln was jogging in place sluggishly while panting and sweating; a sharp contrast to how Lynn was jogging in place effectively.

"Huff…Huff…Oooh…" Lincoln slurred. "I'm getting tired…"

"Come on dude, don't give up," Lynn encouraged him. "You think I'm just doing these exercises with you just for show? I'm not, because I'm trying to encourage you to keep it going! So let's go!"

Neither of them said a word as they kept it up for the next few minutes or so. Lori was watching, satisfied that Lynn was able to keep Lincoln going without any sidetracks. She just hopes that she can keep this up for the rest of these exercises.

Afterwards, they stopped with jogging in place as Lynn skid to a halt, while Lincoln stopped instantly while panting and sweating some more.

"Not bad bro. Not bad at all," Lynn wiped her forehead. "Okay, now we are going to try some reflexes. Watch how I do it."

In an instance, Lynn started to flex and move her arms to the opposite of her body, which required her to bend her body to the side a little.

"There, now you try it," Lynn told him, flexing her arm to the other side.

Lincoln took a deep breath and tried to do the reflexing like how Lynn was doing it. Easier said than done though, as he was having trouble putting effort into it, and was feeling worn out.

"Let's go Lincoln! Fight off that nasty alcohol," Lynn boasted. "There's nothing like fighting off those bad feelings like doing some exercise with your big sis, dude!"

Seeing that she did enough reflexes, Lynn halted as she told her brother to keep it going. It took a couple of minutes, but she continued to observe him until he did 10 reflexes total. She then whistled for him to stop.

"Alright, that's enough reflexes man," Lynn then announced. "Now for the final exercise, we are going to be doing an all-time favorite exercise of mine! You guessed it; squats!"

Lincoln murmured under his breath as he was not sure how they were going to do this.

"Now Lincoln, just a little heads up, I hope you don't have to go number 2," Lynn warned him. "You can't be number 1 if you have to go number 2!"

"Lynn!" Lori scolded, sounding disgusted by what Lynn was implying.

"Alright, alright," Lynn shouted back before turning to face Lincoln again. "Look, the point is this will be a simple exercise to follow."

"Oh good…" Lincoln slurred. "I'm getting exhausted…"

"Okay, now we can begin," Lynn declared. "So get ready. And squat!"

With that, they started to do some squats, although slowly in Lincoln's case. The only brother in the family was struggling to do the squats, and Lynn tried to encourage him some more.

"C'mon Lincoln, you can do it," she hollered. "Burn off those calories! Don't give in dude!"

And so Lincoln could only continue to do the squats with his sister, as this kept going for a few minutes.

Eventually, Lynn announced that they could stop doing the squats as they stood back up in a regular stance, and Lynn decided to call it quits for the day.

"Alright man, that'll do for the exercises today," Lynn wiped the sweat that was on her forehead. "Woo! What a workout!"

"Ooooh…sweet relief…" Lincoln mumbled as he was glad that he was done exercising since he was worn out. Lynn approached him and decided to help him up.

"You know Lincoln, I have to give you credit for effort," Lynn then revealed. "And guess what? I've got a little surprise for you bro. It's a special Lynnsanity milkshake that I have every time I've done these exercises. And you get to have one as my treat."

Lincoln seemed curious by this, while at the same time, he was grateful that he got something out of doing these tiresome exercises.

Lynn motioned Lincoln to the door as she helped with escorting him out of the room, with Lori trailing right behind them. Lori was perplexed by how Lincoln was curious about the milkshake. The thing is, Lincoln had no idea what he was in for when it comes to him getting that milkshake.

"Trust me, man, you'll know what it's like once you drink one of my milkshakes," Lynn told him before hollering downstairs. "HEY LENI, WE'RE READY FOR THAT MILKSHAKE!"

"LIKE, OKAY! I AM TOTES ON IT ALREADY!" Leni shouted back, as they headed for the stairs...

In the kitchen, Leni was all prepared for making the milkshake, with the blender all plugged in, and the stuff that she needed was already out. What she had out was a gallon of milk, the pepper shaker, a bottle of hot sauce, a bottle of hot mustard, and a carton of eggs, even though Leni only needed one egg.

With everything out, Leni could begin as she took off the cover for the blender and started to put the ingredients in. First off, she poured the milk into the blender cup. This was followed by her sprinkling a good amount of pepper from the pepper shaker into the cup, and then poured some hot sauce in there, and then did the same with the hot mustard. The last thing she did was take one of the eggs and cracked it, and then held the cracked egg over the blender cup and then broke it open, causing the yolk to fall right into the cup with the rest of the ingredients. As soon as she disposed of the shell and washed her hands, Leni then put the cover back onto the blender cup and was getting ready to blend it.

Okay, like, here I go. I just hope Linky can handle this milkshake… With that thought in mind, Leni pressed the blend button and then caused the blender to start running and blended all of the ingredients to make the milkshake.

After a couple of minutes of blending, the blender came to a stop, and the result was the milkshake that Lynn likes to have after her exercises. Leni was pleased with the results as she took the cover off. She then grabbed a tall glass cup in the cabinet for Lincoln, as she went and decided to pour the milkshake into the cup.

By then, Lynn, Lincoln, and Lori made it into the kitchen, just as Leni was finished making the milkshake and poured it into the cup for him.

"Alright bro, looks like we made perfect timing," Lynn said. "Leni already made the milkshake for you."

"Yeah, like, I hope you enjoy it," Leni took the tall cup of milkshake and put it on the table in front of him. "I made it with a special amount of love for you, Linky."

That got Lynn to scoff for a brief second as Lincoln sat down at the table he was at before, with the cup in front of him.

"Now guzzle it down dude," Lynn encouraged. "Remember, this is my treat to you."

"Hiccup…Oh…Okay…" Lincoln hiccupped while he brought the cup close to his mouth, and started to drink it down.

As he was doing so, Lynn had to make sure Leni made it the way she likes it. "Now Leni, did you make the milkshake the way I make it?"

"Yes, I totes did," Leni nodded before revealing what's in it. "It's made of milk, peppers, hot sauce, hot mustard, and a raw egg."

"Perfect. Just the way I like it, sis," Lynn praised her with a smirk.

Lincoln was cringing the whole time when Leni named out the ingredients, but he couldn't stop guzzling it down, no matter how nauseous he felt. So he was forced to swallow it.

Once he was done drinking the milkshake, he placed the cup down and had the strong urge to gag at what he just swallowed. Sadly, he wasn't able to get the chance since he felt the typical effects coming on from drinking it. He got heartburn, his face turned bright red, and his mouth felt like it was on fire while he was panting, his eyes had widened like saucers, and he felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead at how powerful that milkshake was.

Nearby in the corner, Lori was shown smirking at the results she was seeing. The reaction that Lincoln was giving off from drinking that milkshake showed that their plan was starting to work like a charm, but they still had a ways to go, and they had to keep it up with getting him sober.

Lynn also noticed how Lincoln was reacting to it as she chuckled playfully while approaching him.

"Alright, now that's what I'm talking about," she punched him lightly in the shoulder to show how impressed she was. "Feel the burn, little bro!"

"Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!" Lincoln was shown panting hoarsely as his face slowly turned back to normal.

"Nah, don't fret too much man," Lynn told him. "You'll get used to it after having several drinks of it."

"Alright Lynn, you've literally done well," Lori complimented as she approached them. "Your all set here. You can go back to your room."

"If you say so sis," Lynn simply shrugged, seeing that her work here was done.

She went to the fridge to get a bottle of water before heading out of the kitchen. Before she left, she turned to face her brother again.

"I'll see ya later, Lincoln," she commented before leaving the kitchen.

As soon as Lynn was heading upstairs, Leni was shown putting stuff back in the fridge and then started cleaning some of the mess up. As she was doing that, Lori approached her brother and remarked.

"There. Now that wasn't so bad, was it Lincy?" She smiled.

Lincoln gave off an indecipherable reply under his breath, and it sounded like he was calling Lori 'mom' again, but the eldest sister couldn't tell for sure. He was still feeling tense from the spicy milkshake that he had, but now it was time to move on to the next step.

"Alright little bro, it's time for your shower. Now I think the twins are all set with using the bathroom by now," Lori guided him out of the kitchen as she began to holler for the bathroom upstairs. "LOLA! LANA! ARE YOU ALL SET USING UP ALL OF THE HOT WATER!?"

"HOLD ON A MINUTE! I AM JUST ABOUT DONE!" Lola called out with an irritated tone by Lori's impatience.

"YEAH SIS, WE'LL BE OUT IN JUST A MOMENT!" Lana hollered to her as well.

Back upstairs, in front of the bathroom door, it was closed for most of the time that they were in the bathroom. However, in an instance, the door slammed right open, and steam from the shower came out as a result. Lola's silhouette was shown beyond the steam for a minute or so until the steam cleared out. Once the steam was gone, Lola was shown in the flesh walking out of the bathroom, draped in both of her pink towels over her body and soaked hair respectively. Her skin was a little red, but that was from taking a really hot shower. Regardless, she paid no mind or attention to it once she stepped out of the bathroom.

"My loyal subjects, your royal Highness has arrived," Lola announced proudly as she took a bow in such an etiquette manner.

"Ribbit, ribbit," Lana walked out of the bathroom while croaking like a frog. This got Lola to cast her twin an annoyed look as she ruined the moment.

"And now the frog princess has arrived with her froggy companions," she announced mockingly. "Alright Hops, guys, let's go!"

In an instance, Hops and the rest of the frogs leaped down and were right by Lana's side.

"Now, your frog leader is done, and she commands you all to follow her, ribbit," Lana ordered. "Follow me my friends, ribbit!"

The frogs croaked in unison along with Lana, as they lined up behind her, one by one. Lola was getting ticked as she then demanded an answer from her twin.

"Uh, what are you doing," she asked exasperatedly.

"Simple, I'm just having my frog pals follow my lead like a leader should, ribbit. Or should I say frog subjects as you would call them? Ribbit," Lana told her mockingly to get on her nerves, which it did.

"Pffft, whatever," Lola snorted. "I don't have to stick around to see this."

With that, Lola started trailing off back to her bedroom, as Lana got onto her hands and knees and croaked.

"Ribbit, okay guys, now follow my lead, ribbit," she commanded through croaking as she started hopping like a frog back to her room.

The frogs all let out croaks as they started hopping right behind Lana in a single file line. All of them were heading back to the bedroom that Lana shared with Lola.

Speaking of whom, Lola stopped right in front of her door and took a glimpse of the sight before her. She wasn't pleased with seeing her twin hopping to the room like a frog, and her frog pals trailing right behind her. But as she mentioned, she didn't feel like putting up with this. As such, she slightly rolled her eyes and entered the bedroom while Lana and her frogs continued to hop and leap for the bedroom.

Eventually, Lana finally made it to the room with all of the frogs following right behind her. Lana leaped into the bedroom first, and she was followed by Hops. One by one, the rest of the frogs jumped right into the bedroom too, right down to the last frog that entered.

As soon as they were all in the bedroom, Lola let out a sigh of relief that that was all over.

"Huff, glad that's over," Lola peaked out from the doorway to holler. "LORI, WE'RE ALL SET WITH THE BATHROOM! IT'S ALL YOURS!"

"GREAT! WE'LL BE UP THERE IN A MINUTE!" Lori hollered back as she climbed up the stairs with Lincoln right beside her.

As soon as they made it to the top, they stopped at the front of Lola and Lana's room, as the pageant winning sister was still there with her towels on.

"Alright Lori, the shower is ready," she said. "Now you can have our brother take a cold shower like you wanted him to."

This got Lincoln to freeze in his tracks as he stuttered nervously. "C-cold...s-shower...?"

"Yes," Lana chirped as she poked her head out the doorway right under Lola. "We used up all the hot water in the bathroom, and my frog friends had a nice swim in the sink filled with semi-hot water. It was fun!"

Suddenly, Hops popped out from under her cap and croaked in enjoyment.

"Alright Lincoln, follow me," Lori commanded. "You're taking a cold shower."

Instantly, Lincoln was being defiant again. "I don't wanna! I don't wanna take a cold shower!"

"Well tough luck Lincoln," Lori started to drag him to the bathroom. "You are going to take a cold shower right now!"

Lincoln tried squirming away and freeing himself from Lori's grip but to no avail. As soon as they were away from the room, Lana looked at Lola closely and noticed her skin was red.

"By the way Lola, you look like a lobster from taking such a hot shower," Lana joked and snickered at her twin.

"Cut it out! I do NOT look like a lobster!" Lola snapped, sounding offended by that.

"Well you do look as red as a lobster," Lana snorted. "And it looks cool. It must be amazing to look like a lobster too."

Lola was growing impatient with her as she snorted. "Just close the door so I can change up in privacy!"

"Well, if you say so," Lana shrugged casually as they both retreated into the room, with Lana closing the door behind her, so Lola can change clothes in peace. From that reaction, it seems that they were done with their part as well…

By the time Lori reached the bathroom while gripping onto her squirming brother, she stopped and then told her brother straight up that he has to do this.

"Now look Lincoln, you don't have a choice in the matter," Lori was stern. "You are taking a cold shower because I said so."

"N-No…No, I don't wanna…" Lincoln was still being defiant with her.

Lori sighed, figuring that she has to do this the hard way. "I guess I have to take off your clothes like a baby."

And that's what she did. As her brother was squirming roughly, she took off his shirt, followed by his pants, and his socks, and then she tossed them into a pile nearby. Afterwards, he was now in his undies, and Lori was planning on taking those off too. Before she did so, she told Lincoln what she had to.

"Now listen, you are taking a cold shower whether you like it or not," she scowled. "I'll give you 10 minutes to take a cold shower, and then I'll check up on you."

Seeing her brother caught off guard, she went and took his undies off, revealing his nude backside. And because of this, she forcefully pushed him into the bathroom to give him some privacy. Before Lincoln could make a break for it, she slammed the bathroom door so he wouldn't get out.

Lincoln tried to open up the door, but he was unable to since it was locked. Lori had locked the door from the inside, preventing him from opening it up.

"That's right little bro, I locked you in the bathroom," Lori called out from beyond the door. "You aren't coming out of there until you've taken that shower! You literally have 10 minutes to take one before I check up on you! Do I make myself clear?!"

Lincoln grumbled under his breath for a moment before he responded.

"Yes mom," he slurred before going to do his business before showering.

As soon as he went number 1, he went into the bathtub, closed the curtain, and got the water running. He then set it to shower mode. Then as expected, because all of the hot water was used up, cold water ended up pelting Lincoln in the face like a bunch of ice hitting him. It was so cold that it got him to react accordingly.

"AHH! AHHH! AHHHHHH!" He wailed at how freezing the water was, but he knew he couldn't get out for 10 minutes, so he had to suck it up.

Lori had a smirk that grew on her face when she heard the shower running and Lincoln screaming appropriately. Looks like things were going the way they had to. She decided to wait outside the door for 10 minutes when he'll be done with the shower.

While she was waiting, however, Lori started to recall all of the times she remembered when Lincoln was just a baby. As expected from the oldest sister having 4 sisters after her, she wasn't happy with having a younger brother at first. This was understandable since she was expecting a 6th sister instead of a brother.

Eventually, though, she started to get used to it and began to warm up to her little brother. She also remembers how she always treated him like her own at times when her mom was busy. She was a lot like a mother figure to Lincoln, thus this led to the point where Lincoln would call her 'mama' constantly since she was there for him. Of course, she always had to correct him that she isn't his mom and that she's his big sister Lori, but she didn't have a problem with being seen as a mom by her brother.

Unfortunately, a lot of the changes in the relationship between her and Lincoln started to change drastically when she entered middle school. On top of dealing with the bullies who harassed her in middle school just like what Lynn went through, Lori also went through puberty. This caused her to become stricter, uptight, and demeaning as a result of constant grouchiness that she had gotten, combined with how she had to keep things with her siblings in check. Despite still caring for Lincoln's well-being, her relationship with her brother became more strained, since she had so much on her mind, what with gaining more gal pals in school, becoming obsessed with her cellphone, and eventually getting into a relationship with Bobby.

She recalls all of the times that she had been ruthless to him growing up, such as kicking him out of her room after threatening to turn her into a human pretzel, laughing at his humiliating state with the others, as well as forcing him to go on a date with Ronnie Anne, among many other things that she could list out. Needless to say, there were a lot of complications between her and her brother.

Fortunately, things started to work out as she began to soften up again after the accident where her cellphone fell into the toilet and it caused her to eventually see the wrongdoings that she pulled with all of her siblings, especially Lincoln. This caused her to make amends and resulted in her getting closer to her brother again.

And now, she had been letting the stress and focused on moving out of the house cloud her better judgment and kept her distracted from how Lincoln was taking this in, and how he's been growing depressed by how his oldest sister will be heading to college and moving out. Drinking dad's liquor accidentally was just the tip of the iceberg.

While her sisters were pretty harsh with how they got onto her for not noticing his state, she couldn't blame them. She should have talked to him about this so that none of this would've happened.

Gosh, I've literally been too focused on moving out and heading to college to notice how my brother was taking this in. I…I failed to realize his growing depression which cultivated with how he accidentally drank that liquor. Lori thought shamefully. Now I need to make things right with my little bro. I'm going to talk to him about it and bring up his spirits again…once he's sobered up and slept it off…

With that fresh in her mind, Lori decided to do that tomorrow. For now, she remained standing as she waited for Lincoln to finish up his shower. She knew that there were only a couple of things left for Lincoln to do, but she can wait until after he's done…

END OF CHAPTER 3…

Yup, that's it. I'm gonna leave this chapter in another cliffhanger. Still, I hope you enjoyed this chapter everyone.

One thing I'd like to point out here when Lori called Lincoln 'twerp' earlier, she was using it as a pet name that she is only using for this instance. Just to clear that up. And there's a reference to my story Lori Dealing with Nomophobia if you didn't notice it already.

Anyway, next time, the sobriety quest continues for Lincoln, as he'll be done with his shower, Lisa and Luna will do their parts next along with Lucy, and the liquor will arrive. Will Lincoln be out cold by the end of it? Will Lori be able to get the liquor and put the stuff into the empty bottle? And what else will happen? Find out next time!

Now, you can just leave a review and let me know what you think. It can be constructive criticism to let me know what I can improve on, or a positive review to let me know what you liked most.

Aside from that, that's all that I have. So until the next chapter, take care of yourselves, and thanks again for reading!
