Loud house- the challenge
chapter 1- Meet and Greet
"Do, do, do..." Lori mumbled, stepping down the stairs of her parents home to their living room, her eyes glued to her phone's screen as she shifted through the pictures sent to her of the holiday weekend. "Don't need to see that. Why would I wanna see- Oh, that's good."
Lori smiled responding to the text as she hit the bottom of the stairs. Turning to the side toward the kitchen, Lori instantly stubbed her toe.
"Sonavah-" Lori grumbled, holding her stinging foot as she balanced on the other. Angry and ready to smash anything in sight, Lori looked around and saw how dark it was. The entire living room was near pitch black, all the lamps turned off. The only light in the room was the TV in the center and the light leaking through cracks of the kitchen door, and only a small amount at that. As her eyes adjusted, Lori could see figures sitting on the furniture, though she couldn't make out who. Lori frowned as she flipped on the lights. "Everyone here?"
"Yup. Eat, drink, and be cranberry!" Luan laughed, finishing her plate before shoving it down the over flowing waste basket to her side. Sitting back on the floor and leaning against the couch behind her, Luan raised an eyebrow at her sister. "What took you so long?"
"Busy." Lori answered, a little too quickly as she crossed her arms. "And none of your busi-"
"Cut the crap." Lola said, rolling her eyes at Lori as she leaned against the couches right arm rest. "You can shift through Bobbie's drunk dick picks later. We've got a bet to win."
"Daaamn, I though I had some zingers." Luan smirked, high fiving her little sister.
"Why were you all sitting here in the dark?" Lori asked, sneering at Lola who glared back.
"We just had thanksgiving dinner." Luna answered, rubbing her gut with one hand as she leaned back in the arm chair. "We wanted to see if anyone would pass out into a food coma."
"Okay..." Lori sighed, nodding at Luna. "Everybody else?"
"Oh, they are totes passed out." Leni said, yanking off her stained bib with one hand as she drank the last of her coffee with the other. "With how much they put away they'll be out for twenty... twenty... something. The time we started eating, but tomorrow."
"And the target?" Lori asked, like a general to her soldiers. "He ate more than anyone. What about Lincoln?"
"Right!" Leni nodded, leaning against the couches left arm rest as she tossed her empty cup into the other overflowing waist bin. "I think he was trying to put himself in the food... sleep... thing. But then he drank something Lisa gave him and woosh! I think he's still in the kitchen."
And just like that all the girls in the room tilted their head toward the kitchen, the only room in the house with the lights still on. The faint sounds of clanging wet dishes and rushing water of the kitchen sink suddenly stopped. Not a moment later foot steps creaked toward the living room. Light, jittering foot steps. Soon enough the only son of the family, Lincoln Loud, appeared in the room.
"D-Dishes..." Lincoln mumbled, his words muffled by the medical mask covering his mouth, his hands twitching inside the wet teal rubber gloves, the worn grease covered cooking apron just barley holding on to him as he shook inside of it. "D-Dishes, done. Room c-clean. K-k-keep c-leaning. Now... Please."
"Ohhh boy." Lori whistled, noticing the equally uncomfortable look on the rest of her sisters faces in the room. Sighing, Lori lied. "We stopped eating hours ago. There's no more dishes."
"N-no." Lincoln stuttered, his gaze shifting everywhere like a rabid animal. "Gotta keep cleaning. Gotta keep moving. So close- so clo..."
Lincoln trailed off, his gaze stopped when he landed on Leni, the girl closest to him. Specifically her low cut top.
"Hi Linky" Leni waved, Lincolns eyes bouncing with her chest.
"Nerp." Lori rolled her eyes, swatting down Leni's hand and covering her chest with her sister's own long hair.
"Ouche, why?" Leni asked, rubbing her hand.
"Link." Lori said, snapping her brother out of his trance with his eyes shifting to hers then down to her Lori's own chest for a moment before slapping himself. The sound of it echoing throughout the room as his face visibly reddened. "Wow."
"Y-you can do it. You can do it." Lincoln stuttered, a little more hunched over than before. "J-just a little more."
"Okay, this is getting sad and creepy." Lori rubbed her temple. "Link, if you're so crazy about cleaning go do the bathroom. After everything we ate today, god knows it needs it."
Lincoln instantly ran off up the stairs without saying a word, which Lori couldn't help but notice her brother had a noticeable limp he didn't have walking into the room. Peaking into the kitchen Lori could see stacks of sparkling clean plates stretching up the ceiling.
"Sweet black sabbath, he's really loosing his shit." Luna whistled peaking up the stairs, shaking her head. "Is it really that bad for guys to go this long without jacking it?"
"No idea." Lori shrugged. "Bobbie tried the 'no nut' challenge last November and didn't make it two days."
"Really?" Leni asked, clearly impressed. "Link's amazing for going this long."
"Don't give him too much credit." Lori put a hand on her hip. "I stopped listening halfway through when Bobbie tried explaining and literally ripped his pants off before I rode him like a mechanical bull."
"Hard to blame you." Luan tilted her head back, annoyed. "With link out of commission this month its been super hard for me to focus on my material."
"Ha." Luna laughed. "Well I'm good without link."
"Uh-huh, sure." Lola rolled her eyes. "How many strap-ons and vibrators did you and Sam go through since this started?"
"About as many under the table stuff you did to win your last pageant." Luna smiled, high fiving Luan as Lola glared daggers at them both. Lori herself smiled smugly at her youngest sister in the room.
"Oh, I got my guy without link too." Leni announced, happily oblivious. "I forget his name though, I wanna say Tyler."
"Okay!" Lori clapped regaining her sisters' attention. "Yeah, we all have something on the side to keep us from going crazy without Lincoln, but there's a money pot about explode and the first one to set it off gets the cash. Its probably enough to roll around in."
"Ohhh, like a wedding bouquet. " Leni applauded cheerfully.
"Huh, interesting choice of words." Luan raised an eyebrow at Leni and then over to Lori. "Both of you."
"You're reading too much into it. " Lori rolled her eyes. "Listen, we literally have just tonight to do this. Everyone will be up tomorrow and leaving Monday."
"Then why are we even bothering with this meet and greet?" Lola asked.
"To set some ground rules." Lori answered holding her hand up, raising a finger for each rule. "Number 1, don't break link. Pretty clear we all need him. Two, keep it quiet. Don't wanna wake anyone. Finally three and four, no whining and no bragging. Broken rules means broken bones."
"Anything else?" Lola folded her arms, pouting. "Queen bossy."
"Well, after the winner gets declared Lincoln is free game again." All the girls nodded happily, almost eagerly.
"You forgot rule five, I got first crack!" Lola cackled, dashing past her sisters and up the stairs.
"Well, who didn't see that coming?" Luna asked, hopping off the chair and heading toward the garage. "Good luck. I got a new ax calling my name."
"Finally, I put a lot of work into this one." Luan grinned, walking down to the basement. "Get ready Lincoln. You're about to see a show you'll never forget."
"Cool. I can finally try out my new thing. Wait. Did I bring my thing?" Leni wondered heading up the stairs. "Linky, do you know if I brought my thing?"
"Ohhh boy, he might actually explode." Lori shook her head as she watched her sisters leave the living room. With a bored look on her face Lori pulled out her phone and made a call. "Hey, its me. Can you do me a favor?"
