[As Leni started to wake up immediately in the present time, she yawns and stretches her arms, starts breathing and looks around the living room.]
Leni: Huh? That was a like, a weird dream! [She gets up from the couch and walks to the kitchen to grab something to drink, then sees Lori at the table] Lori?
Lori: [Turns around] Oh, hey Leni. Glad you've finally woken up. How are you doing?
Leni: A bit tired but fine...I had this weird dream...it was, like, 1970s or something!
Lori: [Interested] Oh? Really? What was it about?
Leni: Okay. [Then Leni starts telling her dream to Lori]
Lori: That was an….um...odd dream you had there. A 'Brady Bunch' rip-off and doing drugs?!
Leni: Yeah...but I just hope that my 70s counterpart doesn't actually die...and gross, Malik was trying to get back with me! He's such a douchebag! Why did I even fall in love with him in the first place?!
Lori: How the hell am I supposed to know that? You were the first one to meet him.
Leni: Oh, right! I was… Still, I have no idea what I saw in that guy.
Lori: Look, what matters is that he's out of your life. What about Chaz? I mean I know you and Becky are dating, but-
Leni: We're just friends, Lori. He's a nice guy, but I'm already dating.
Lori: Yeah...I just told you that.
Leni: And it's crazy that I've been kissing, crushing and dating people in the same school year so far!
Lori: [sarcastically] Good for you…
Leni: Hm? What's wrong? Why did you say that?
Lori: Because, Leni….[breathes in and out] Nevermind about that.
Leni: Okay then? [Noticing that everyone else is gone] Wait! Where's everyone else?
Lori: Lincoln, Lisa, Lucy, Lynn Jr. and the twins went to Girl Jordan's house, then Luna is in her room pretending to be on 'American Idol', Luan is practicing one of her jokes in the bathroom…don't ask. And Lily is up in her room, playing with some new baby toys that Mom and Dad got for her.
Leni: Aww, that's so cute! Anyways, Chaz wasn't trying to be a jerk when he visited me at the hospital, but he shouldn't have acted out like he did.
Lori: Do you have feelings for him?
Leni: [Studder] Well...I...Um…[Blushes a bit] Maybe yes or no!
Lori: Leni! You either have feelings for Chaz, or you don't!
Leni: Well, I-
Lori: Do you like Chaz or not?!
Leni: NO! I DON'T! I NEVER HAVE AND I NEVER WILL! NOW WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE, LORI!
[With that, Leni ran upstairs in tears.]
Lori: Leni, wait! [Lori runs after her sister]
Leni: [From inside of the door] Go away!
Lori: [Sighs sadly, then walks down the stairs and flops on the couch for a long while.]
Meanwhile at Girl Jordan's house, they were taking a little break from playing video games….
Girl Jordan: Alright, y'all! Who wants some snacks? I need to check if any of you have food allergies.
Lana: Well, I'm only allergic to rhubarb. So I'm fine. And Hops wants some fried crickets, please.
Clyde: I'm allergic to peanuts, so I'll take an hamburger, please and thank you.
Girl Jordan: Oh...okay? [Turns to the other siblings] What would you like, Lincoln?
Lincoln: A cheeseburger, please!
Lynn Jr.: Hm…maybe some Beef Jerky, if you have any?
Lola: Ew. I don't eat those meat products anymore. I'd prefer cupcakes.
Lucy: Sigh, I'll take a blueberry muffin.
Lisa: Maybe a salad with a circumference of ranch condiment, please.
Girl Jordan: [confused] What? Anyways, let's start going to the kitchen.
Lola: Aww, I thought you were gonna make it for us!
Girl Jordan: Seriously Lola? Come downstairs and help us or you get nothing at all! [Frowns at her]
Lola: Fine, whatever. [Everyone starts walking out of Girl Jordan's room, as Lincoln starts heading to the kitchen, he gets a text from Lori]
Lincoln: Hey guys! Wait for me! My sister just texted me about something! Be right there. [He goes back into the room and fully reads the text] Hmm? She and Leni had a small fight? Well, looks like I gotta ditch Girl Jordan's video game hangout today….[Thinks] What should I do? Oh! I got it. [Then goes downstairs]
Meanwhile in Lori and Leni's room…
Leni: [Sighs] I'm such a fool… Why did I have to snap at Lori like that?
[Just then, she heard her phone vibrate and picked it up to see a text from Lincoln which read: "Well, I'm gonna help you when I try to sneak out of G.J.'s party, if it doesn't work, well, then you have to do it yourself this time.."
Leni: Awww, okay. [She texts him back]
Meanwhile, back at Girl Jordan's house back at Girl Jordan's house…
Girl Jordan: I'm gonna use the bathroom. Be right back! [She walks out of the room and leaves]
Lincoln: [Gets up] Alright guys, I need to help Leni with something...again!
Lynn Jr: With what?
Lincoln: It's none of your concern.
Lynn Jr.: You want to rethink your answer?!
Lola: Yeah! Considering that we're all her sisters, it's our concern too!
Lincoln: Well...that's just that...it's personal between me and Leni...Lola, you couldn't understand it…
Lisa: Male sibling, like our 8th youngest sibling had said, it isn't, so called, "personal" we come from the same bloodline, street name: family tree.
Clyde: Oof! [Runs out of the room so fast]
Lana: [Singing] Oh no, where we go again! Fighting over what I said, I'm sorry, yeah, I'm sorry.
Lola: Stop singing Demi Lovato! She's not gonna help us!
Lana: Well, I'm sorry! I just can't help it!
Lola: You better quit singing because it's making my ears bleed!
Lana: You're just jealous! [The twins start to bicker and a fight cloud appears]
Lincoln: [Turns to the other siblings] Yeah, you know what. You guys can help me!
Lynn Jr.: Great. Let's get outta here before things get any worse! [Lincoln, Lisa, Lucy and Lynn start to run out of Girl Jordan's room, tip-toed out of the back door and ran back home.]
[After Girl Jordan used the bathroom, she stepped back into her bedroom and saw the twins fighting]
Girl Jordan: What the heck? Where's everyone else and why are you two fighting?!
[The twins stopped fighting and stared at Girl Jordan.]
Lola and Lana: Uhhhh...nothing?
Meanwhile back at the Loud House…
Leni: [Raises her voice] I just don't understand! I-I mean, I do like Chaz, but I'm dating Becky right now! I just don't know! Grrr!
Lincoln: Leni, just take a deep breath. And everything will be okay..
Leni: How can everything to be okay that I literally like 2 people?! It's like, one of those love triangles in that movie I've watched with Lori before!
Lincoln: You sounded like Lori just now.
Leni: What am I gonna do?
Lincoln: How about you take Becky on another date to Aloha Comrade, and have Chaz as the third wheel?
Leni: Who are the first two wheels?
[Lincoln facepalmed.]
Lincoln: You and Becky, of course.
Leni: Oh. But when should I take Becky out?
Lincoln: Hm…[Thinks a bit] maybe this Friday! I've heard that every Friday, Aloha Comrade has a 'Couples Special' there!
Leni: Yay! Wait! Why are we bringing Chaz again?
Lincoln: Maybe you guys can clear the air.
Leni: I don't know, Linky… Lori's gonna take us there.
Later that night, the Louds kids were sitting in the dining room waiting for the food.]
Rita: [Happy] Kids! Guess what we are having tonight?!
The kids: (sans Lily) PIZZA?!
Lynn Sr.: [Slides into the dining room, holding an big tray of Sushi] No...something better! Sushi!
[All the kids, sans Lily and Lori, groaned]
Lynn Jr.: Raw fish? Barf...
Lana: No Sushi for me, thank you. I'd rather feed fish then feast on them.
Lori: SUSHI?! Finally, I can taste it for the first time…..I've been waiting my whole entire life for this...oh…
Lisa: Well, I am exuberant to savour...this...Japanese-culture seafood...street name, Sushi.
Luan: I can't wait to SEA this FOOD! [Does her signature laugh] Get it?
[All of her siblings groaned while their father let out a chuckle.]
Lucy: Sigh….Dad….do you realize that I really don't like seafood all that much?
Luna: Yeah, Luce's right. Seafood isn't how we roll.
Lynn Sr.: Y'all keep on complain' then I'll feed you all cereal for dinner like the last time!
Lynn Jr.: Okay, okay fine! No need to relieve what poindexter put us through!
Lisa: Alright, let's not go there.
[The others agree and start digging into the Sushi dish. But something unexpected happens to one of the Louds.]
Lori: I hope this Sushi is actually good….[She starts taking a big bite into the sushi, before she knew it, she found that she was allergic.] AHHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME! [She starts to have hives]
Rita: [Turns around and notices Lori suffering an allergy to the seafood, starts yelling] OH DEAR LORD!
[Everyone notices Lori, who dropped to the floor on all fours, causing everyone to be shocked and scared]
Lori: I….can't BREATHE!
Lisa: I'll take Lori into my room so I can start a diagnosis!
Leni: Oh no! Lori! Please be okay! [Worried and scared] You're supposed to take me and Becky this Friday!
Lisa: She'll be fine! I hope!
[Some of the Louds started carrying Lori to Lisa's room\lab, from the downstairs, some of the other Louds were so worried and scared that she might not make it.]
Leni: Seriously?! I was getting drunk last night and now Lori's having an allergic reaction! How can things get any worse?! [She starts to cry]
Lynn Jr.: Well, she could die! That's how worse it can get!
Leni: STOP IT! You're only making it worse!
Lynn Jr.: Whatever. [Walks away from Leni]
Leni: [Sighs] Why does bad things always happen in this family?! First, I end up being a Detroit gangster, I almost died saving my friend, I lost my other friends, got treated like an object by some douchebag and now my oldest sister is gonna die from having an allergy! Why is life so unfair to me?!
[Lincoln walked over to Leni and held her hand]
Lincoln: Bad things happen to us, Leni. But sometimes, we're not the ones to blame for them.
Leni: [Sighs] I guess you're right, Linky… But what about the Sister Fight Protocol incident?
Lincoln: Let's not go there, Leni. Especially not at this time.
Leni: Good point. [Then Lisa starts walking downstairs to the living room, facing some of her siblings.]
Lisa: Siblings, I got some good news and some bad news.
Lisa: The good news is, our eldest sister is gonna survive.
Lola: What's the bad news?
Lisa: The bad news is, it's going to take a few days for her to recover. So unless our second oldest sister has her driver's licence, we might not have anyone to drive us besides our parental units.
Leni: Oh…I wanted her to take me and Becky to Aloha Comrade this Friday! And Mom and Dad are going on another date night!
Lincoln: [Turns to Leni, smiles] On the bright side, she survived but, she's gonna be resting for a while… [Thinks a bit] maybe, I could fill in for her?
Lisa: Oh, please! Anyone with the brain capacity of a goldfish would know that you're not old enough to drive the family van.
Leni: Aww...But I wanted Lori to do it-
Lincoln: [Groans] What part do you don't understand, "She's in very bad shape right now?!" And also, I'll ask Chaz to drive us!
Leni: Oh… sorry. But yeah, thanks Linky! You're a good brother.
Lincoln: Thank you, Leni! Okay, good. Let me think of the plan..
Friday night…Leni was visiting Lori in her room.
Leni: How are you doing, Lori?
Lori: [Opens her eyes and sees Leni] Fine...I guess.. That allergic reaction was absolutely crazy!
Leni: Yeah...it was. Glad that you're feeling better… I was so worried about you. I've made you a card. [Hands it to Lori]
Lori: Aww, thanks. I really appreciate it..[Smiles weakly]
Leni: You're welcome. Are you feeling better?
Lori: Kind of. I'll probably recover by tonight or tomorrow. I'm definitely not eating another sushi EVER AGAIN. I just posted it on my story.
Leni: Okay. I'm going out with Becky and Chaz for the night. Lincoln's gonna be replacing you because of your….mistake. Don't worry! Chaz is gonna be doing the driving.
Lori: Mhm. Well...have fun.
Leni: Take care, Lori! I'll see you later! [She walks out of the room and closes the door behind her.]
At Aloha Comrade parking lot…
Becky: This shall be...interesting. Right, Leni?
Leni: Yeah, like, I guess so. [Smiles a bit at her girlfriend]
Chaz: Uh, hey guys.
Becky: [Turns to Chaz] Hey Chaz!
Leni: Hi, Chaz! How are you feeling about this..?
Chaz: I'm feeling okay and you?
Leni: Uhh...excited and nervous? Let's go order takeout. [Walks away into the restaurant with Becky and Chaz]
Lincoln: [Finishes tying his shoes, looks up] Guys! What about me?! [He runs after them.]
After they have gotten their table, they start heading to the seats.
Leni: So...uh.. guys? How's it going so far?
Chaz: Uh…
Becky: [Blushing] Good that you're here, of course.
Leni: Yeah, that...I actually wanted to talk to you guys about something.
Becky and Chaz: [in unison and curious] Oh. What is it? [Realizes that they said the same thing and stare at each other...which was noticed by Leni.]
Leni: Are you two in a relationship or something?
Becky: Leni! What makes you think that?
Leni: Well it's just...you and Chaz both said the same… Never mind.
Becky: Uh.. this is… awkward.. Let's just order our food now.
Chaz: Yeah...Chaz like that idea.
Leni: [Sees the menu and picks it up, reads it] Hmm...ooh! They have that Friday special! Lincoln says that it comes with a Pineapple and Shashlik pizza.
Becky: Nice! Did I ever tell you that I'm a Russian descent?
Leni: Really? That's totes nice.
Becky: Yeah… me and family always went to this restaurant back in the old country when I was just a toddler...such a shame it got burnt to the ground. My father worked as a dishwasher at that very same restaurant and my mother stayed at home to take care of me and my younger siblings. After my mother passed away, my father took me and my siblings and moved to America in search of a better life. When we arrived in Royal Woods, my father found this place.
Chaz: That's really deep, Beck.
Leni: Awww. I am sorry to hear that.
Becky: But we're trying to be strong…
Leni: But wait! You said your father founded Aloha Comrade? Are you chef Sergei's daughter? My dad used to work for him.
Becky: Uh... [blushes, embarrassed] Yes, I am..
Leni: Oh? Well, that's awesome!
Becky: Yeah...it is.. [nervous looks on]
Chaz: That sounds cool, Becky!
Leni: There's nothing to feel embarrassed about! I mean, you guys must have suffered to get here.
Chaz: I'm sorry to hear about your sister, Leni. I hope she gets better soon.
Leni: That's alright, Chaz. She should recover by tomorrow.
[After dinner, Becky felt the need to use the bathroom, leaving Leni and Chaz alone.]
Leni: So...Leni… Is there something on your mind?
Chaz: Well...to be honest… I wanted to tell you how cute you looked at the Halloween party, but I just didn't have the courage to do so.
Leni: Oh… I understand… I guess I was a little harsh on you when you visited me at the hospital. I mean, you meant well. That Malik guy was a total jerk anyway.
[Just then Leni felt herself being pulled towards Chaz as her lips touched his. Leni didn't even try to struggle and just closed her eyes.]
Leni: Uhh… what just happened?!
Chaz: Oh my god! I'm so sorry, Lens! I-I-I don't know what came over me!
[Instead of getting angry though, Leni leaned over and reconnected her lips with Chaz's.]
[Suddenly, they heard a gasp come from nearby and broke from their kiss to see Becky staring at them in shock.]
Leni: Becky! This isn't what it looks like!
[Becky said nothing and ran out of the hospital in tears while Leni ran after her.]
Leni: Becky, listen to me!
Becky: No need to say anything, Leni. Just take me home...I'll do the driving.
[Leni sighed before getting into the passenger's seat. While Becky sat in the back with Lincoln waiting for Chaz to show up.]
Lincoln: So...how did it go?
Leni: I...really don't know how to describe it. But maybe I'd better tell you when we get home.
Becky: Lincoln..., I saw your sister leaning in to kiss Chaz!
[Lincoln looked at Leni with a look of surprise.]
Lincoln: Leni, is this true? I'm not angry or anything, but I just need to know.
Leni: [Sighs] I'd rather not talk about it right now.
[Finally, Chaz arrived and sat in the driver's seat before heading back to the Loud house. Leni was looking out the window while Chaz looked at her feeling a little guilty.]
Later…
[They arrived at Becky's house. As soon as she got out of the van, she walked over to the passenger window and spoke to Leni.]
Becky: Leni...we need to have a talk tomorrow.
[Leni sighed as Becky walked to the house. Chaz drove kept on driving until they were at the Loud house. They all got out and Chaz walked back to his own house. Lori was sitting on the couch watching a drama show and greeted her sister and brother.]
Lori: Hey, Leni… How was your night with Becky?
Leni: Ugh… that night was just not...planned as I thought it would.
Lincoln: Glad to see you've fully recovered, Lori.
[Leni just continued up the stairs before heading into her room. Lori just watched her with a look of concern.]
Lori: Okay...what happened?
Lincoln: Well, I don't know what exactly happened, but let's just say things are a bit rocky between Leni and Becky right now.
Lori: [sighs] I'm gonna go check on her.
[Lori went upstairs and found Leni sitting on her bed. She walked in and sat right next to her.]
Leni: Lori?
Lori: Hey, Leni...Lincoln told me about what happened...at least from what I heard.
Leni: Lori...I think I might've made a mistake.
Lori: What do you mean?
Leni: When we were at Aloha Comrade, I got kissed by Chaz and Becky saw it happen.
Lori: He did?! What was that boy thinking?!
Leni: Woah! Go easy on him, will you?!
Lori: Why would I?
Leni: Well...I don't want you to think I'm some sort of...bimbo or anything, but...I thought it was amazing.
Lori: Literally?! But what about Becky?
Leni: That's where my dilemma comes in. I just don't know who to pick.
Lori: Oh..
Leni: [Groans] Ugh! Why does life keep treating me so unfairly?!
Lori: Calm down, Leni! Lets try and think things over.
Leni: But I've had enough! I'm sorry, Lori. But I have to do this. [She runs out of her and Lori's room]
Lori: Where are you going?!
Leni: It's none of your business! [Slams the door right behind her]
[Leni starts running out of the house, much to her older sister's concern]
Lincoln: [Turns around] Wait! Where is she going?!
Lana: Hey! Come back here, Leni! [She opens the door and shouts, turns back around to her siblings] C'mon guys, we have to go get mom and dad before it's too late!
[Meanwhile, Leni was stomping down down the sidewalk.]
Leni: I feel like, ever since I hung with those kids, everything's been changing a lot around me! [All of a sudden, little drops of rain starts falling down into Leni's hair and some on her dress.] What the heck? [Looks up] It's raining, of course…
[Leni kept walking until she approached Antonia's house and knocked on the door. Antonia answered after about fifteen seconds.]
Antonia: Hey, Leni… What's the haps?
Leni: Yo, girl. Can I come in?
Antonia: Yeah, sure. [She lets Leni walk into the house]
Leni: Well.. you're gonna hate me for this. But I got together with Becky, then everything started to fall apart again... Because earlier, Chaz had kissed me… and…
Antonia: And what?
Leni: I just kissed him back.
Antonia: And this is a problem because?
Leni: Do you not understand?! Becky saw the whole thing and now she hates my guts!
Antonia: You want my advice? I'd say forget about them both! They're no good for you! Besides, you and Malik had a good thing going until you decided to abandon him!
Leni: Don't you dare mention his name, you bitch! He only wanted me just to be popular!
Antonia: HEY! You call me a bitch?! Don't forget that I own you! Without me, you would've ended up at the bottom of the school's food chain! So take my advice and grow some goddamn balls!
Leni: Are you calling me a man?! Women don't have balls!
[Antonia gave Leni a hard slap on her face.]
Antonia: Women with brains do! Not that you even have one!
?: Y-Y-ou!
[Both girls turned around and saw Lori glaring furiously at Antonia.]
Antonia: What did I tell you, girl! You left the front door open!
Lori: I don't give a damn! You leave my sister alone before I turn you into a human pretzel!
Antonia: Whatever, just get her out of my sight!
[Lori kept her gaze on Antonia as she dragged Leni out of the house.]
Leni: Let me go, Lori! I want to throw a slug at that bitch!
Lori: First of all, you mean "Slug her", secondly you can't let her provoke you!
Leni: This isn't your call, Lori! Why can't I be in control of my own actions?!
[With that, Leni ran away leaving Lori in the rain.]
Lori: [Sighs]
[Antonia looks through the window with a look of disdain.]
Antonia: Why the hell are you still here?! Piss off!
[Lori looked back at Antonia but said nothing and just went to go find her sister.]
[Meanwhile, Leni was roaming through downtown Royal Woods. She then stopped in front of the clothing store and looked at herself in the window.]
Leni: Look at you! You look nothing like me! You're nothing but a shell of your former self! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!
Mirror Leni: Oh shut up, you dumb bitch! You know I'm better than you!
Leni: What did you call me?!
[Leni then threw a punch at the window, however this didn't do much damage to it as it did to her hand.]
Leni: Ugh! [Continues walking]
["Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" starts playing on the radio of a passing car as Leni kept walking down the sidewalk.]
Leni: It's only me, I walk alone… [Hums it]
With Lori…
Lori: Where the hell is she? Leni! Leni! Leni! Ugh.. I'll never find her…
Lori: Have you seen a blonde teenage girl come by here?
Man: Unless it's you...not really.
Lori: Aww.. Have you seen an light blonde haired teenager?
Woman: I don't recall seeing one…well, my sister's best friend's daughter's stepsister is one. I haven't seen her since Summer of '89. But I hope you find your lost friend. Toodle-oo! [The lady walks off]
Lori: She's my sister and okay then…[As Lori continued walking in the rain, hoping to find Leni, she sees lights on the car which is coming to her.] Ahhh! Please don't hit me! [Covers her eyes]
?: Lori? Leni? Where are you girls?!
Lori: [Uncovers her eyes and sees Vanzilla] Huh?
Lynn Sr: [Yells] Sweetie! Get in the car! [Lori sees her family and gets into the car]
Lori: Thanks guys. It's literally raining cats and dogs out there!
Luan: [Turns to Lori] What happened to Leni?
Lori: Well, me and Leni was having an talk, then she got stressed and angry, then she starts running away from the house, then I tracked her down at her former friend's house, by the looks of that, they gotten into an argument. Then Leni ran. That's how I am here now.
Luan: Oh…
Lisa: Alright, eldest sibling. Let me track down where our second eldest sister is. [Lisa checks but an gasp came on her face, causing the other Louds to worried]
Lola: Wait, is she okay?!
Lisa: Well, according to the tracker… She's actually heading back home!
Lana: [Excited] Really?
Lisa: Would I be lying if the tracker had glitches?
Lana: That's great!
[Lori got back into the van, and the family drove back to their house. When they got there, they found Leni crying on the couch.]
Lori: Leni?
Leni: Don't look at me! I'm a hideous monster!
[Rita walked over to her daughter and gasped in shock when she saw the red mark on her cheek.]
Rita: I can't believe someone would do this to you.
[Lincoln walked over to his sister and held her hand to calm her down. Leni grabbed Lincoln and allowed him to get up on the couch with her.]
Lori: I'm sorry about what happened between you and Antonia.
Luna: We're all here for you, Leni.
Leni: I feel like I'm tearing this family apart…
Lori: W-what do you mean by that?
Leni: Like, I'm always causing an outbreak in this house.
Lisa: Oh, now that's poppycock. Outbreaks only occur in one of those fictitious Walking Ned movies.
Leni: [Sighs] For example, I start drama. Started many fights between you guys and my real friends.
Lincoln: Don't blame yourself for those actions, we clearly didn't get along with any of your former...friends, but now we're trying to get closer.
Leni: [Sniffles] Okay… I better go and take a shower.. [Gets up from the couch and walks upstairs to the bathroom, again, causing the Louds to worry about her again.]
In the shower...
[Leni leaned against the shower wall in sadness]
Leni: I don't deserve such a family. They're just so nice to me, even after what I've put them through. I've dated some scumbag, and got abandoned by his friend too. Plus, that whole situation with Becky and Chaz is not making things any easier. I mean, Chaz is a nice guy, but I've been dating Becky for a while and now she's angry at me for kissing Chaz.
[Leni sighed sadly as she started bathing herself]
Leni: What am I gonna do now?
