"Mr. Loud, your parents are here!" Mr. Huggins notified the Loud boy.

"Hey Larry, was this part of your plan?" Chandler asked.

"Um, well..." Lars couldn't really offer a response.

"LARS LOUD!" Lars could hear his mother's voice.

"Oh boy." Lars said facepalming

2 Days Earlier

Lars having grabbed his lunch had sat down with Girl Jordan and her friends.

"Well you look happier today! Those bullies must have stopped bothering you." Girl Jordan said.

"Oh, well... Not really, but it's fine." Lars said with his smile becoming more malicious.

"What are you so happy about then..." Mollie asked

"Mollie mollie mollie, life is such a fleeting concept, I can't let three jerks ruin it." Lars explained to her.

"Um... yeah I guess that's a good way to look at it." Renee said kind of weirded out by Lars' demeanor.

Lars' smile increased as he thought about his plot against the men who dared lay a hand on his little sister, the girls at the table could tell Lars was not acting normal, Jordan was ready to ask Lars if he was okay, but then someone passed by, someone who grabbed Lars' attention.

'Oh, Chandler, perfect' Lars thought

"Um sorry guys, I need to talk to him real quick" Lars told the girls as he got up.

"So... It seems ever since that prank him and Chandler have gotten closer." Mollie said

"Yea.." Kat agreed.

"I hope he okay.. I feel like he's about to do something stupid." Jordan said.

"Yeah he was acting pretty weird.." Renee said.

Lars had caught up to Chandler as his goons as they had arrived to their table.

"Aye, Chandler?" Lars said grabbing his attention.

"Ooohhh Larry. take a seat." Chandler said while noticing the three fifth graders who (based on what he has heard) have been bullying Lars "They won't mess with you around us".

The three bullies walked by Chandler's table and noticed Lars. They stopped and both groups had a major stare off. One of Walkers friends nudged him signaling that they should keep walking, Walker hesitated but eventually left, Lars sighed in relief.

"See?" Chandler said smuggly shrugging.

"We got your back, man. Least we could do." Trent chuckled.

Honestly Lars and Chandler were never that cool, but Lars was really touched by his actions. This was a whole new side to Chandler Lars was witnessing.

"Thanks guys.. I really appreciate the help" Lars said

"What's their issue with you anyways.." Richie asked.

"Well, to put it simply, the head asshole is jealous of me." Lars let them know.

"Jealous for what..? I mean not that you're not someone to not be jealous of I'm just asking" Trent asked, the 4 other boys at the table looked at Lars curious for his answer.

"To make a long story short, after I started hanging out with Girl Jordan and YOU guys made me viral, he seems to be mad at the attention I've got" Lars explained

All 4 of Chandler's friends stared at him, as to guilt trip him.

"What? I shouldn't have to apologize for making Larry popular, be mad at the haters!" Chandler defended himself. Lars smiled.

"Well, as much as I appreaciate you guys you can't defend me at all times, I honestly just want to end this once and for all" Lars said.

"Hey Chandler! Want us to just handle these guys after school?" One of his goons asked.

"Well... If we need-"

"Well actually, I have a better idea." Lars interrupted.

"Oh?" Trent said interested "What's that?" he said.

Later that day

"Seems that Walker jerk and his friends have been leaving you alone.." Lincoln asked Lars still somewhat concerned.

"Huh... Oh, Yeah..." Lars replied, making Lincoln stare at him suspiciously.

"What are you up to, Lars?" Lincoln asked.

"Huh?" Lars said offended. "Why I gotta be up to something?" Lars asked.

"Whatever." Licoln scoffed. "Just don't do anything too stupid." Lincoln went back to reading his comic.

"Pfft! When do I ever do anything stupid." Lars muttered.

Two days later

"Okay guys if you want to back out, nows your chance." Lars warned.

"Please, like I'd miss out on a quality prank."Chandler smiled. " Plus my channel could use the content!" Lars laughed at Chandler's remark while Trent and Richie nodded in agreement with Chandler.

"Alright boys." Lars pulled out some equipment. "This is how things are going to go, I had one of my sisters make this for me." Lars reveals a vile full of liquid.

"What in the world is that Lars?" Trent asked.

"It's a horrible smelling brown substance." Lars told Trent.

"Wait... You're going to let off a gas bomb at school!?" Trent said somewhat concerned.

"Don't worry, it's not nearly that disgusting... I think." Lars tried to reassure his friends.

"That's not at all reassuring..." Trent responded.

"What exactly is the plan here Larry..?" Chandler asked

"Well... I've been paying close attention to walker." Lars spoke.

"You mean spying?" Richie blurted.

"I was observing the enemy!" Lars defended. "Anyways, I know his class is down here and that he likes to hang out over here." Lars explained. "So I'm going to simulate the sound of someone sharting with my phone, and poor this substance on his rear. You guys back me up when he inevitably wants to knock my teeth out." Lars shrugged.

"Won't he noticing you pooring that on him?" Trent asked.

"Nah, it's actually more oily then liquidy." Lars revealed earning a disgusted look.

"Hmm, not as strategic of a plan, but i don't mind pranks like this either." Chandler agreed to the plot, giving Lars a thumbs up.

"So girls, what's the plan for the weeken-" before Walker could finish his sentence to a group of 5th grade girls a loud realistic fart could be heard throughout the entire hallway.

"Ugh, geez Walker! I was right behind you." Lars said holding his nose.

"Eww! It smells." One of the girls in Walker's class held her nose.

"You little!" Walker turned around to face Lars, as soon as he came face to face with Lars multiple screams of disgust could be heard.

"Walker crapped his pants!" Somene yelled out to a chorus of ews.

"What!? No I didn't!" Walker defended himself.

"That nasty looking brown stain on your pants say different..." Lars alerted him.

"Why you!" Walker lifted Lars by his shirt.

"Ugh!" Lars covered his nose.

"Walker, what do you wanna do with him." Walker's head goon asked as they surrounded Lars.

"Yeah Walker." Chandler and his group appeared. "What do you want to do?" Chandler calmly asked. Walker continued to hold Lars by his shirt, considering his option. Lars continued to smile at Walker, only aggitating him even more. Walker didn't want to brawl with Chandler and his group, but if he could get at least one good shot at Lars' face, it'd be worth everything. Walker began to ball his fist.

"What's going on here!" Ms. Dimartino said alarmed.

"Hmm... I'm not really sure to be honest ma'am..." Lars said, still in Walker's hands.

The Principal's Office

"So that's the story?" Mr. Huggins said sighing "Is this true, boys?" The principal looked at Walkers and his group.

"Of course not!" Walker quickly denied.

"Is that so? For some reason I don't believe you." Mr. Huggins sighed again, dealing with kids can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. "Oh well, I do believe in the 'Innocent until proven guilty, we'll have to call students and interogate them." This statement made Walker and his friends nervous, a good amount of kids had seen them bullying Lars, including Lincoln's friends. "I will warn you though, if you waste my time and it comes back you were guilty of bullying this young man, the punishment will be much severe." Walker was annoyed, Mr. Huggins had him exactly where he wanted them. There was no way he'd leave here unscathed, so there was only one option.

"We did it!" One of Walker's friends beat him to the punch. "We didn't mean anything by it, it just got out of hand!" Even though Walker was about to the same thing he was still pissed at his friend for snitching.

"As I thought, I'll deal with you boys in a bit when your parents get here. As for you boys.." Mr Huggins redirected his attention to Lars, Chandler, Trent, and Richie.

"Look Mr. Huggins, this was allme, they had nothing to do with it." Lars explained. "They just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Larry..." Chandler said, but Lars gave him a reassuring look.

"I see..." had a decent understanding of the situation. "If that's the case, then only you will be serving three days of detention." Mr. Huggins declared.

"Hey!" Mrs. Loud chimed in. "My baby was clearly the victim here! Those juveniles were bullying both of my babies! f anyone should be punished it's-"

"No need to worry Mrs. Loud." Mr. Huggins interrupted. "These boys will be given a 3 day suspension." Mr. Huggins revealed, causing Walker to become angry.

"Hey! I thought you were going to give us a lighter sentence!" Walker reminded the Principal.

"I am, I was originally going to give you a 2 week suspension." This revelation made Walker shut his mouth, and realize the severity of his actions. Mrs. Loud was still not pleased with her son also being punished, but Mr. Loud cnvinced her to leave it alone.

After School

"I can't believe you took the fall for us Larry." Chandler said while doing something on his phone. "You know, you're an alright guy."

"What are you doing chandler?" Lars asked trying to look at his phone.

"Uploading that video of Walker and them." Chandler nonchalantly said.

"Really?" Lars said amused.

"Chandler! Aren't you guys in enough trouble!" Mollie said.

"What? He wanted to go viral online like Larry, didn't he? Maybe this is his chance?" Chandler laughed.

"I have to admit, that was a pretty great prank Chandler." Jordan complimented.

"It was all Larry's idea!" Chandler admitted.

"Really? Didn't think you had it in you!" Mollie said nudging Lars' arm.

"I'm still impressed you came up with it overnight." Chandler continued to sing Lar's praises.

" I didn't, I came up with it for revenge after you pranked me.." Lars' nonchalantly revealed

"Umm... What?" Chandler said looking away from his phone towards Lars, shook.

"... I was originally going to use that prank against you." Lars said still with no emotion. Chandler was going to say something but before he could Lars continued to speak. "But, I like you Chandler, so I'm glad it was those guys instead of you, Trent, an Richie." Trent and Richie sighed in relief.

"Awe! That's cute. but it looks like it back to detention for you huh?" Jordan said teasing Lars, who just groaned.

"Try not to whine about it as much this time." Lincoln also teased. "Shouldn't you be heading there right now?" Lars groaned again and rolled his eyes before leaving, everyone said bye but he just ignored them. Chandler and his crew began to leave, until Lincoln spoke.

"Chandler, thanks for looking after Lars." Lincoln showed his gratefulness, although him and Chandler have had their differences they've resolved those problems, and he's been a good friend to his brother, thus Lincoln is honor bound to thank him.

"Don't sweat it Larry." Chandler told him.

"Larry? I thought Lars was Larry?" Jordan said confused.

"Chandler, his name is Lincoln..." Mollie reminded him.

'We've been trying to tell him...' Trent & Richie thought.

"What did I say?" Chandler said confused as everyone facepalmed, before Lincoln could even comment on this conversation he noticed Vanzilla parked, he hadn't realized how long he has been talking, he checked his phone just to see a missed call from Lori. Lincoln decided to say goodbye to his friends and part ways.

"Hey twerp, aren't you suppose to meet up at the drop off/ pick up area!" Lori lectured.

"Um.. Yeah, sorry Lori. I got wrapped up talking to my friends." Lincoln explained, making Lori scoff.

"Where's the other brat?" Lori said asking about Lars.

"Oh, He's serving detention." Lincoln revealed.

"The second male sibling is serving detention, again?" Lisa asked curious.

"Mom and pops are going to have a field day when they figure out." Luna added.

"Ugh, what did he do this time." Lori said sighing, somehwat annoyed.

"He and Chandler decided to play a major prank on some jerks who were bullying him." Lincoln nonchalantly blurted out the secret, making Lola and his other sister's ears perk up.

"Bullies?!" Lynn said with disgust.

"Is that why he's been acting so weird?" Leni asked concerned for her little brother.

"Oh, yeah." Lincoln said no longer caring since the situation is resolved.

"Geez Lincoln! How long have you been keeping this to yourself?" Lori asked.

"What? Lola knew too!" Lincoln revealed, earning him a death stare from Lola.

"If I'm being 100% transparant, I've known as well." Lisa revealed, as everyone stared at her.

"And I suggest there's a reason why you didn't tell us..." Lori asked trying to keep her temper down.

"Because, if I recall properly, last time I informed you of a bullying issue, you all acted foolishly." It was hard for anyone to argue with Lisa.

"Whatever! We'll have to discuss this latter with Lars." Lori began to drive off.

5:00 PM

'Finally...' Lars thought to himself finally arriving home as he continued to his room. 'I can't believe I have 2 more days of this... I feel like Walker got the better deal... Well, at least I won't have to worry about those last days of detention until Monday.' Lars had finally made it upstairs, exhausted, he just wanted to sleep. Unfortunately, someone had appeared and dragged him into Lori's room.

"Huh!? Lynn? What are you doing!?" Lars demanded answers.

"Okay good, so everyone is now here." Lori said initiating the meeting.

"What's this about?" Lar's asked.

"What's this about? Maybe your detentions?" Lori revealed, shutting Lars up.

"Yeah dude, we know that you've been dealing with bullies." Luna revealed.

"Why didn't you tell us you were being bullied Larsy?" Leni asked in a sweet but concerned voice.

"I don't know..." Lars said refusing to make eye contect at Leni's innocent eyes. "It just... Wasn't that big of an issue." Lars muttered just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Sure!" Lynn blurted. "It was such a minor issue that you had to ask Lisa for a stink bomb!" Lynn revealed, making Lars look at Lisa with a disaproving look.

"What!? I kept the matter a secret until everything was settled." Lisa defended.

"Fine." Lars sighed. "I didn't tell you because the last thing I need is my sisters fighting my battles!" Lars revealed.

"You had no problem letting Chandler help!" Lana blurted, causing Lars to throw another disaproving look at Lincoln, who just shrugged.

'Geez, is there anyone in this family who can keep their trap shut...' Lars thought to himself. "Well here's the deal, Chandler and even Lincoln's friends understood this was my battle. Now, you girls on the other hand, think it's your war to fight! I don't have to worry about Chandler going around snatching up random boys!" Lars stared directly at Lynn.

"Hey!" Lynn said offended. "I wouldn't have to if you and Lincoln would just tell me who your bullies are! Is it so bad for a sister to want to protect her little brothers?" Lynn relunctantly allowed such sappy words to leave her mouth, causing her and even Lars to blush. Lincoln's other sisters also nodded in agreement.

"I... guess not, but still..." Lars continued to stand his ground. "You end up creating more problems for me." Lars finished.

"Well, that's not even the big issue anymore twerp?" Lori revealed, much to Lars' confusion.

"Huh?" Lars asked.

"We've realized that boys don't exactly like girls to fight their battles, even if we don't like it." Lori revealed. "But why didn't you tell us he also put his dirty hands on Lola?" Lori said, making Lars to look at Lola whose head was down. Lola must have told their sisters everything that went down. Now that Lars thought about it, once Walker put his hands on Lola he could've just had her run to their family for help. This revelation made Lars facepalm, sometimes he can overthink and miss the obvious solution.

"I'm... sorry?" Lars said confused as to how he should respond.

"Hmph. Look here dweeb." Lori walked towards Lars making him feel uneasy. 'When did I become the bad guy?' Lars thought to himself. "If you want to fight your own battles, that's fine, but when it comes to the youngest ALWAYS make sure we know!" Lori said bringing herself to Lars' level.

"Um..." Lars still was unsure as to how he should respond, this was unpresidented.

'Geez, this is painful..." Lincoln thought, feeling bad for his brother after all he's been through just to get a earful from Lori.

"It's not his fault!" Lola finally spoke, drawing everyone's attention. "He protected me! The only reason it happened was because I followed Lars." Lola defended her brother.

"Maybe you should lay off him sis, he's had a hard week." Luna said, as Lori just stared at Lars, opting to leave him alone, feeling some sympathy for her brother.

"More like a few hard weeks." Lincoln revealed, making Lori feel somewhat worse.

"I know sometimes we can be overprotective Lars, but I don't like the idea of anyone suffering in silence, what's the point of having a big family if you can't share that suffering?" Luan spoke her piece, forcing everyone to stare at her, confused. "What? I can be serious at times?" Luan revealed. Lars just sighed, exhausted.

"Promise to not overreact towards every issue and I'll thing about it..." Lars simply said.

"We promise!" Leni quickly agreed, with everyone else but Lori nodding.

"Fine, it's not like I'll always be hear to protect you anyways, so maybe it's for the best." Lori agreed.

Everyone began leaving out of Lori and Leni's room, all but Lars and Lola who were trying to escape from a group hug with Leni. This brought a smile towards Lori's face, who had trouble admitting how much she'd niss her fanily after she graduates from high school and inevitably heads to college.

Finally got thos out! As far as this story the next chapter will be a making the case au, or maybe king of the con.
