It was approaching 3:57pm on a Friday afternoon. The sun was soon to set in Royal Woods, Michigan. Because it's November, the sun begins to go down earlier in the day than later. Leni was coming home after spending time with fellow Royal Woods High School student, Ruby.

"Boy" Leni said. "You like sure know how to bust a move out there."

"Thanks" Ruby commented. "I had a really good time. Oh, and before I forget, Carol wanted me to tell you something."

"What?" Leni asked.

Ruby answered "Carol is gonna approach the Loud House soon to pick me up. She has a cousin in Great Lake City she wants to visit. Carol wants to know if you and one of your sisters want to come along."

"Totes yeah" Leni said. "Wait, I can only bring 1 when I have 9 sisters?"

Ruby answered "yeah. Just one."

Leni took a moment to think.

When they arrived at the Loud House, Leni told Ruby "I got it. I'll take Luan. I was gonna ask Luna, but then I realized she's on her way back from her music tour with her bandmates."

"Oh yeah" Ruby replied. "I heard they ruled Australia."

Leni added "and Asia along with Canada and Brazil. They should be back by tonight. Their last stop is Great Lake City."

"Cool" Ruby said. "Let's see if Luan wants to come."

As they entered the house, they saw Luan on the couch. Luan looked over and saw Leni and Ruby.

"Hey girls" Luan said. Leni started looking worried.

"Wait outside" Leni said to Ruby. "I'll handle this."

While Ruby went outside, Leni went over to Luan.

Leni wanted to know what has gotten Luan upset.

Luan told her "it's been a rough day. I can't even get through one class without thinking about the horrible jinx Lynn placed on Lincoln. It's been 3 days and he's still not back. I even got a nightmare about becoming a monster that wanted to kill him. A monster Leni!"

The crying started getting a little louder. She couldn't take having her heart into pieces that way anymore.

"I don't want our only brother gone this young. I really miss him."

Leni understood what was going on.

"I see" she said. "I miss him just as much as you, but it's gonna get better."

"You sure?" Luan asked.

"Totes sure" Leni said. "Now how about a hug from your sister to remember."

The hug was able to make Luan bust out a bit of laughter.

"Thanks Leni" Luan said. "I'm starting to feel a little better."

"Now that's the dope feeling I want to see" Leni replied. "Hey, you wanna take a road trip with me, Ruby and Carol?"

Luan responded "that depends. Where we going?"

Leni replied "Carol has a cousin in Great Lakes City she wants us to meet."

Luan replied "I guess I could go for a weekend out of the house."

"How dope" Leni said. "Let's go tell Ruby." The second they did, Ruby too got excited.

A half hour later, Luan called to Leni, "hey homie! Ruby and Carol are outside waiting for us!"

Leni responded "be right down!"

"Have fun with Ruby and Carol, Luan" her mom said.

"I will" Luan said. "Hey, you think you can get the others to talk to Lynn about that jinx? Lincoln's still not back."

Her dad responded "no problem my little piece of comedy gold, and we'll talk to her as well."

Leni came downstairs. "Sorry about that Luan. I had to pee. I heard it's gonna be a long ride."

Luan commented "then we better get going."

Rita and Lynn Sr. Loud gave Leni and Luan goodbye hugs before sending them off.

After getting in the car and rolling away, Lynn sked Rita "you think they'll be okay. What if what happened to Lincoln happens to them?"

Rita responded "they'll be alright, but we should get the first aid kit ready just in case."

Lynn Sr. agreed to what she said.
