Lincoln, Lars, Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa finally arrive at the Loud House, as soon as Lars makes it inside he immediately went to his room, and said very little.

"Elder siblings, care to explain what's happening?" Lisa asked, talking to Lincoln and Lola.

"Don't worry about it Lisa, it's already been resolved." Lincoln assures her, catching Lola's attention. "Now if it's all the same I'd like to go to my room" Lincoln said while walking upstairs.

"Whatever you say, eldest brother" Lisa said fixing her glasses on her face.

Lola was still concerned by what she witnessed and wasn't pleased with it being swept under the rug, she was tempted to enlist the help of her sisters, but instead she opted to go up to Lincoln and Lars' room.

"Are you okay?" Lincoln asked Lars

"Just great" Lars said with no emotion while throwing a ball Lynn gave him off the wall.

"You know, if it'll make you feel better you can always stand up to those guys" Lincoln said earning a weird stare from Lars.

"I've tried to for over a month now, they thrive off it-" Lars said before hearing a knock at their door.

"Come in" Lincoln said

Lola quickly let herself in, wasting no time running and jumping on Lars' bed wrapping her arms around him,

"What's up with you today, look I don't care about the headphones anymore. I'm not mad." Lars tried to explain, truthfully Lola had almost forgotten about their argument.

"Those guys.." Lola muttered, confusing Lars.

"Those guys?" Lars said in confusion.

"I saw you and those meanies" Lola said, it took Lars a second but he understood what she was referring to.

"Wait, you saw those guys messing with Lars at lunch Lola?" Lincoln asked

"No, in the morning.." Lola revealed.

"So they've been messing with you all day..." Lincoln muttered to himself. Lola's grip on Lars' shirt increased.

"How much did you see?" Lars asked Lola, looking embarrassed.

Lola looked up to her brother, then rested her head back on his shoulders.

"I saw most of it, until I went to get Ms. Martino." Lola said looking down.

"You told Ms. DiMartino?" Lars said as he grabbed Lola by the shoulder.

"Mmhm..." Lola said staring down.

"Why would you do that!?" Lars said with a little more volume.

"I was just trying to-"

"All you did was make things worse!" Lars interrupted.

"Well if you would just tell Ms. Martino those jerks would get what they deserve!" Lola snapped back.

"So they can brand me a snitch?" Lars rebutted

"WHO CARES WHAT THOSE BULLIES THINK!?" Lola yells with tears in her eyes, but she was more desperate then angry.

"You just don't get it! Snitching doesn't stop bullying, it just makes it worse, something you girls know a lot about." Lars tried to explain "Now stay out of my business! What did I tell you yesterday? Stay away from me!" Lars said pushing Lola off him.

"But..." Lola said looking directly as Lars, hurt.

"Hey Lars! Knock it off, she's just worried for you!" Lincoln yelled at him, as Lars looked away looking a little guilty.

"Fine.." Lola said as she got of his bed. "Stupid brother." She muttered before running out of Lincoln and Lars' room.

"You know, just cause you're being bullied doesn't mean you have to be bully" Lincoln spoke up

"Oh shut up... How am I being a bully?" Lars said nonchalantly

"Whatever, you should apologize to Lola." Lincoln told him.

"Me? Apologize to that twerp?" Lars said insulted by the idea.

"Ugh,what are you Lori now? Never mind, even Lori isn't this stubborn" Lincoln kept going.

"Shut up Lincoln!" Lars spat back.

Lincoln decided to ease up on Lars, while he didn't like how harsh he was being to Lola, he knew he's had a rough day... or a rough few months, so he left him alone.

A Few Hours Later...

The Loud Family were enjoying their food noticing how quiet Lars and Lola were.

"Geez are they still at it?" Lynn said

"Lars should LITERALLY get over it already,we'll make sure you get a new pair of-"

"Like I care about that anymore." Lars said interrupting Lori

"Then like, what's the matter?" Leni asked.

"Yeah I'd cut the tension with a knife is I wasn't eating with it HAHAHAHa, Get it?!"

Everyone at the table rolled their eyes, at this point you'd think they'd get use to it.

"She's right though dude, what's eating you two?" Luna asked

"Nothing, I just didn't have the best day." Lars answered.

"Oooooo, what happened!" Leni asked

"Nothing I really want to talk about." Lars answered

"Why not?"

"Cmon dude."

"Just tell us already"

"Can you guys just leave him alone, he doesn't want to talk about it!" Lola shouted at her sisters. shocking everyone especially Lars, making him feel slightly bad for pushing her away, 'Maybe she really was just trying to help' Lars thought while looking at her.

"Seriously you two have been acting weird ever since we got out of school." Lana said

"Indeed" Lisa chimed in.

"Guys, just leave it alone. The situation is already solved" Lincoln said

"Doesn't seem that way, elder brother." Lisa retorted

"Yeah, clearly there's still a issue here." Lori said agreeing.

"Well not every problem can be completely solved in a day!" Lincoln said a little annoyed.

"Girls, just leave it alone for now. If Lincoln and Lola say they have it under control then let them deal with it for now." Rita Loud told her children.

"Yes mother"

"Yes ma'am"

"ok mommy"

"okay!"

Lars was usually the first to excuse himself, since he didn't have much a appetite tonight was no different. His guilt was growing but he couldn't talk to Lola in front of his other sisters, but his guilt kept growing to the point that he would if necessary. Eventually his siblings would shortly follow him and return to their rooms, Lars watched from his room with the door cracked.

'Maybe it'd be easier to wait until tomorrow to talk to her' Lars thought to himself, but he had to reaffirm himself, because if he didn't do this now he might not get much sleep tonight. Lisa and Lincoln came up first, then Lola and Lana came up.

"Lola.." Lars tried to call for her, not even bothering to avoid their sisters since they'd all be upstairs soon enough and Lana was already next to her.

"Hmph, what do YOU want? I thought you wanted me to stay away from you." Lola said clearly still holding a grudge, which made Lars smile nervously. This was a first for Lars, usually he's too stubborn to apologize or even admit fault, much to his siblings annoyance.

"Yeah, I'm real sorry about that, I guess I overreacted about the situation, Lincoln was right. I just wanted to apologize" Lars said somehow managing to look her in the eyes.

"Wow is Lars actually apologizing for something, wow" Lynn said running upstairs.

"It is quite a site" Lucy said sneaking up on everyone.

"How did all 4 of us not see her coming?" Lana asked.

"Well, that's all I wanted to say, bye." Lars said running to his room, feelings embarrassed and annoyed.

Lola, Lana, Lucy, and Lynn went to their rooms, Lola wanted to talk with Lars some more but she didn't want to cause anymore trouble for him.

The Next Morning

Lars had left early, hoping to maybe run into those bullies before class started.

"Hey Larry!" Lars could already tell who was trying to get his attention.

"Hey Chandler..." Lars said turning around to see Chandler and a group of his goons.

"Heard you've been having some problems with some 5th grader, I kind of feel somewhat responsible... A little" Chandler said

'It's completely your fault...' Lars thought to himself forcing a smile on his face.

"Well I'm willing to help you." Chandler said with a smug smile.

"Wow, um. Thanks Chandler." Lars said.

"Just stick with us, no way those guys will mess with you" Trent says.

"Thanks guys, but-"

"Larsssss" Lars recognized the voice, Lola had found him.

"hmm, who's she calling?" Chandler said, garnering confused stares from Lars and his own goons. Lola finally caught up with Lars needing to talk to him, but the bell had just rang.

"Guess we better get to class guys, we'll be watching over you Blonde Larry." Chandler said walking away with his goons.

"Lola you should get to class." Lars said.

"But we need to talk. First, here." Lola said reaching into her bag grabbing a box containing a new pair of headphones.

"Wow Lola... Thanks!" Lars said grabbing it with a smile.

"I'm sorry for breaking them, it was a accident..." Lola said quietly

"It's ok, I know." Lars said "If that's it, we should get to class." Lars said starting to walk away,

"But-" Lola said making Lars walk away. "What if you run into those guys again?" Lola said looking worried.

"I'm counting on it." Lars said with a fake smile.

Lola was even more worried, it seemed her brother was ready to pick a fight he'd clearly lose, just to prove what?

"I'm going with you then!" Lola said.

They stood in silence for a while. Lars wanted to say he didn't need his little sister watching over him but he didn't want to make the same mistake yesterday and realized she was just worried for his safety, but also he didn't want to drag her into a losing battle. Maybe that was her plan, to force Lars into not fighting.

"Alright let's go already, but I'm walking YOU to class, not the other way around!" Lars said.

"Fine." Lola nodded her head

Lars began to walk Lola to her class hoping those idiots weren't looking for him. There were only so many kids in the hall at this moment so it'd be super easy for them to notice Lars, so he did his best to go the route less traveled.

"Hey, brat!" Lars and Lola heard a voice.

'I'll just pretend I didn't hear that...' Lars thought to himself still walking.

"Aren't those-" Lola said before Lincoln grabbed her hand and started walking faster.

"Let's go Lola, you don't want to be late?" Lincoln told her, getting a head nod from Lola.

This was the first time Lars decided to actually ignore the bullies, it made him want to vomit but it couldn't be helped. Who knows what Lars would do if Lola got hurt.

"Hey... Kid." The voice said while grabbing Lars' shirt "Didn't you hear us calling you?" As Lars knew, it was his bullies.

"Thought you were talking to someone else..." Lars responded with a nervous smile.

"Who is this?" The bully said grabbing Lola.

'Why?'

"Is this your little sister?"

'Why?'

"Let go of me. You. BIG MEANIES!"

'Why?'

Lars began to calm himself down, somewhat. He hoped to find a way out of this scenario. What he feared most was becoming reality, but he didn't understand though, Why?

"Why are you guys going this far just to mess with me!?" Lars asked them.

"Why?" The bully said dropping Lola on her butt.

"Aw!" Lola yelled.

"That's it!" Lars' said charging at the bully, as soon as he began, she stopped. The Late Bell had rang.

"That's the bell, if a hall monitor or teacher finds us we'll be in serious trouble" One of the bully's goons spoke.

"Fine, let's go." The bully said walking away.

"Hey!" Lars yelled making the bully stop.

"Oh?" The bully said "You asked me, why?" The bully turned around with a creepy smile "CAUSE IT'S FUN! A few months you were just a loser who had skipped a grade, and now you think you're hot shit cause you're dating a 5th grader and are friends with Chandler!?" The bully finally finished

'Literally none of that is true...' Lars thought with a tired smile on his face. I mean he hoped to one day be in a official relationship with Girl Jordan, and as far as Chandler, he wasn't that bad a guy, but yeah.

"So you're just jealous...?" Lars said with no emotion.

"What was that!?" The bully said genuinely shocked at Lars' response

"HAHAHA You're jealous of my big brother! I can't blame you, who'd want to date a jerk like you!" Lola said making Lars nervous

'Dammit Lola, don't agitate him!' Although Lars did kind of start it..

"Congrats brat, 1st grader or not I'm going to enjoy this!" The Bully said scaring Lola.

"Let's go Walker! She's just a 1st grader who cares what she thinks! She's not worth it." The bully's friend said.

"Yeah! and besides I don't feel like watching you beat a little girl." The other goon said.

"Fine. You got lucky kid" Walker said spitting in Lola's direction. "See you later.. Lars!" He said walking away while laughing.

Lola and Lars stood there for a second staring at each other.

"...Guess I shouldn't of said all that?" Lola finally said

"...Yeah." Lars responded

Lars had helped Lola up and they began walking to class. Originally Lars was going to instigate a fight with the bullies, he knew he'd get beat up but he hoped he's get in enough good blows to make them leave him alone, plus the teachers would keep them away afterwards. Sometimes you have to take a loss to win but now... Lars was after blood! Suffice to say, Lars was pissed at how they treated Lola, and the fact the boss bully was willing to harm Lola didn't help. This meant war!

'They should've beat me senseless when they had the chance...' Lars had thought
