Note: This takes place before L is for Love.
Leni hummed in concentration as she pondered what would be the perfect, final addition to her new dress sketch. "Hmm, glitter? No, that's stuff is totes annoying to get rid of. Come on, Leni, think! If Lisa can do it, then so can you!" She then stared at her paper with laser piercing focus. She think and think and think until she turned red and steam was literally coming out of her ears. Seriously, she look like a malfunction machine. "Ugh, I don't how Lisa, like does it. It hurts the pink spongy thingy after a while." Through the pain, she thought of something else, "Oh, I could go and watch some fashion show for some perspiration! …Or was it determination?"
She began to walk towards the door. As she does, she gave a quick glance towards the mirror and saw the one thing more fear inducing than any of her siblings getting hurt. SPLIT ENDS! She gasped in horror, "O, M, GOSH! I cannot go out like this! This needs to be fixed pronto!" She grabbed an avocado, an egg, and a bottle of olive oil and rushed out to the bathroom.
Forty five minutes later…
Leni strolled out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her hair with a perky smile, "Ah, much better." She put a finger to her chin in thought to remember something that she was supposed to do before she found those pesky split ends. "Hmm, was I supposed to go to the mall? No, there's no sale going on. Finish a design? No, that's what I was stuck on for two hours. Oh, the fashion show!"
She walked towards the stairs and began to descend them. The closer she got, the more vivid the T.V. sounded. "Oh, someone's using it. I'll guess I'll just, like, wait." She turned around to go back up. She stopped midway as she heard voices.
"Aww, Boo Boo Bear. Don't that couple are literally similar to the two of us?" Lori asked Bobby lovingly.
"Oh, please, Lori, if the two of you were any cheesier like that couple in the movie, then y'all will be able to open a cheese shop with foreign cheese included," T.K. snarked.
"I don't know, babe. A foreign cheese shop would be awesome!" Bobby added.
"Oh, who asked you, T.K.? Now, hush and watch the movie!" Lori barked.
"Ugh, we coulda gone with a action movie, but noooo, we went with a freakin' rom com!" T.K groaned.
"Don't be so brash, querida. I actually like it, even though they are over doing the love sequences," Krystal defended.
Oh, Bobby and Krystal were here again as usual. Normally, Leni would go off and mind her business but as she do, she would get these feelings. Not 'that smoothie that I just had three hours ago had some bad ingredients' feelings but a feeling of loneliness and…longing. She envy Lori, T.K., and Lincoln, if the latter would stop denying his feelings for Ronnie Anne, for their abilities to find their significant others. There were few times that Leni had a few boys' attention but she never taken the chance due to her obliviousness or her ditzy mishaps screwing her chances.
Leni thought deep with inner sadness. Could she even find someone to love a girl like her? Sure, she had her looks but that doesn't mean jack when you a questionable ditz. She didn't hear T.K. walking up the stairs to go to the bathroom. He stopped in front of her. "Leni? Lennni! LENI!" T.K. yelled, cupping his hands to his mouth.
Leni jumped with a squeak before turning towards her little brother, "Tee Kee? Gosh, you scared me. Anyways, do you need something?"
"I was headin' to the bathroom. Now, are you ok? You looked sad for a spell there, chica," T.K. pointed out with a mildly worried glance.
"Uh, it's, like, nothing too big to worry about, Terri. Just a spring sale at the mall that just ran out of dresses," Leni lied, pulling her phone out as if she was looking at it.
T.K. slowly nodded, "Uh…huh. I don't mind helping you, Leni. We'll look for a dress together."
"NO!" Leni screamed, quickly catching T.K.'s surprised look. She took a deep breath to calm down before giving him a reassuring smile, "I mean it, Tee Kee. It's totes nothing to worry your cute little head about," She gave him a few pats on the head before speed walking back to her room.
"Now, if I didn't know any better, I think that Leni just lied to me. She never would do that unless something was eatin' her," T.K. pointed out to the reader. "Wait, why did I came up here again? …Oh, I gotta pee!" T.K. ran down to the bathroom.
Later that night…
"So wait, you think that Leni lied to you, T.K.?" Lincoln asked, combing out T.K.'s hair. T.K. tried to ask Leni to braid his dreads but she told him that she wasn't feeling, so he asked Lincoln to help out. T.K. also told him about the abnormal behavior in the fashionista.
"Yes, I can't make this stuff up even if I tried. Something is going on with her, and I think I know what," T.K. hypothesized.
Lincoln stopped combing to listen, "Like what?"
"Hmm, I saw her coming down the stairs, I don't know for what reason, and she just froze there, looking at me, Krystal, Lori, and Bobby all together for a double date. Lincoln, I think that Leni wants to have a boyfriend. I, for one, will be happy to help her but how could we do it?" T.K. pondered.
Lincoln did so as well. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Lincoln finally came up with an idea; he stood up, not knowing that he still had the comb in his hands, which was still in T.K.'s hair "I got it!"
"AHH!" T.K. screamed, frantically trying to reach Lincoln's hand.
Lincoln moved some more, "We could have a speed dating event just to help Leni find a boyfriend! I seen Dream Boat do this last week and it helped cut down the potential suitors."
"AHHHOHOO!" T.K. shrieked, desperately trying to reach Lincoln's hand again.
"We'll give the contestants a minute in a half to make a good first impression!" Lincoln planned out, pulling T.K.'s hair even further.
Tears were building up in T.K.'s eyes, "LINCOLN, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"
"And Leni will be able to have her boyfriend! Isn't that great, T.K.?" Lincoln gushed happily before noticing T.K.'s whimpering. "Ooh, hehehe, sorry, T."
T.K. stood up and took a calming breath. "Ok, it's a great plan, cuz. We'll do it tomorrow." He turned to leave the room, "Good night."
"Wait, don't you want me to finish your hair?" Lincoln called out after him.
"No, good night, Lincoln!" T.K. called hastily, walking downstairs.
At the same time…
Leni tried her best to ignore the love bug by resuming her dress design but she couldn't shake her feeling of loneliness. This didn't go unnoticed by Lori, who made glances towards Leni as she texted Bobby about the double date. She made one last text towards Bobby before turning towards Leni, "Ok, I'll bite, what's wrong with you, Leni?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm fine, totes fine," Leni lied, giving Lori a beaming grin. Lori frowned at this. She could obviously tell that Leni is lying to her. Over the years, both of them were able to figure each other out due to living in the same room since Lucy was born.
"Leni, please cut it out. There is something that has been literally been eating you up, baby sis," Lori reinforced, coming over to Leni's bed and sitting by her.
Leni shook her head rapidly, "Nonononono, Lori. I'm, like, sure that there is nothing that is going on."
Lori sighed before giving Leni a very focused glare. Leni's eyes widened at what is transpiring. This is what Lori usually do to anyone of the siblings if they are hiding something that has to do with her or if she worried about them. Lori continued to glare down on Leni as her defenses began to break. She sweated profusely and her pupils began to dart all over the room.
"Leni…" Lori started, her glare at her maximum.
"OK, I'LL TELL YOU!" Leni finally shrieked, clamping her hands over eyes and cried softly. Lori's glare break away into a concerned one while Leni cried her heart out. Finally, Leni grabbed herself a few tissues and took a deep breath. "Ok, I'll start. …It's not fair!"
Lori was confused, "What? What's not fair?"
"It's that…you, Linky, and Tee Kee have boyfriends and girlfriends, like, respectively. As for me, I can't even get a boyfriend without making a complete idiot out of myself!" Leni revealed, drying away more possible tears. Lori grimaced at Leni self-shaming herself; she didn't know that Leni would criticized herself harshly.
Lori hugged Leni tightly, "Oh, Leni, I didn't realize that you really want a boyfriend If you want, I'll be happy to help you find one."
"Really?!" Leni squeaked, her eyes sparkling at Lori's offer. Lori nodded with a smile.
"Heck yeah, sis! Also, to react to what you've revealed…EEEEEEEEEEEE! My baby sis wants a boyfriend! You are literally growing up!" Lori shrieked happily, hugging Leni tightly. Leni giggled and returned the hug.
The next day…
Lincoln and T.K. stood in front of Lori's and Leni's room. "Ok, T, remember that this for Leni," Lincoln reminded.
T.K. gave a dismissive hand wave, "I got it, I got it, we'll let 'er know about what we're doin', hook 'er up with 'er sweetheart, watch them ride off to the sunset, and profit."
"Eh, don't see why money has to do with this, but any whoo," Lincoln shrugged, knocking on the door. Few seconds later, Leni opens the door.
"Hi, boys! What do you two, like, need?" Leni asked with a smile.
T.K. leaned against the doorway coolly, "Actually, chica, we're here for you." Leni gasped with stars in her eyes.
"For me!? Is it a surprise!? I love surprises! I bet it's, like, a new dress surprise or a-" T.K. clamped his hand over her mouth.
"Ook, walked into that one. Lincoln, could ya explain please?" T.K. asked flatly.
"Anyway, T.K. heard about you being depressed about not having a boyfriend. I, Lincoln Loud aka The Man with the Plan, has organized a speed dating session for you to pick YOUR potential significant other," Lincoln responded, winking towards Leni. Meanwhile, Leni was confused.
"Wait…speed dating? Is that a new video game that you boys play?" Leni questioned in confusion, placing her hands on her hips.
"Nonono, speed dating is where you and another person have a 'date' where you get to know each other in a short span of time," T.K. answered.
Leni beamed, "Oh, just like on Dream boat?!"
"Yep, so you ready to get started?" Lincoln asked with confidence. Leni shrunk in nervousness. The two boys gave concerned looks toward their older sister.
"Gee, I don't know, Linky. What if I'm, like, not ready for this?" Leni worried, twisting her foot slowly. Even she knows that guys out there are only going to date her because of her looks, she didn't want that relationship at all.
T.K. patted her shoulder reassuringly, "Leni, I promise you that by the end of the day that you'll be even happier with a handsome fella at your side. Trust us."
Leni nodded with a small smile, "…Ok, you two have, like, my trust."
"YES!" Lincoln and T.K. cheered, high fiving each other. They both grabbed her by the arms gently and escorted her downstairs. In the living room, the furniture was moved and a elegant table was in the middle of the room. The three could hear the crowd of boys conversing with each other on the porch.
"Alright, Leni, just sit right here, look cute, and just say whatever comes to your mind when the first guy come up," T.K. instructed, booping Leni on the nose.
Leni covered her nose and giggled, "Hehehe, got it, Tee Kee." Lincoln alerted T.K. to the crowd of men on the porch and motioned him to follow him outside. They walked outside and closed the door behind them.
Lincoln pulled out a megaphone, "Alright, gentlemen, my brother and I would like to thank you for coming out today and I would also thank you for giving my big sister a chance. Now, we'll begin the speed dating session after I give the lowdown. You each have two minutes to make a good first impression As the saying goes, you DON'T get a second first impression. Bust out your best moves in order to seal the deal with Leni. Understand!?"
"Yeah!" The crowd answered with gusto. T.K. took the megaphone from Lincoln.
"One more thing, please keep your hands to yourself. You still can make an impression on Leni without touching. Abide by this rule or you're gonna be dealing with me," T.K. warned, pulling out a black bat. A jock scoffed at this and walked up to T.K.
"Oh yeah? What can a pipsqueak like you gon-"
THUD!
"OOF!"
T.K. gave the rude jock a hard poke to the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. The jock dropped to the ground as he wheezed in pain. "Consider yourself disqualified for givin' me lip, dummy." He raised his bat to the crowd with a stern glare, "Anybody else!?"
"No, sir!" The crowd responded, shaking their heads.
"Alright, gentleman, let us begin!" Lincoln chirped, opening the door.
Contestant #1…
"Leni, this is Roy! Roy, this is the fair maiden herself," T.K. introduced, escorting Roy to the table. Roy had a average build with blond hair. This could be the one for Leni except…
"Ew, are you wearing socks and sandals?" Leni cringed, looking underneath the table to find that Roy was wearing the dreaded combination. Uh oh, this could spell trouble.
Roy nodded with a raised eyebrow, "Well, yes, I figured that it was a comfortable day and I didn't want t-"
"Your time is up. Next!" Leni shooed with a wave of her hand.
"But that's not fa-"
"LEAVE!" Leni demanded with a dark glare. Grumbling, Roy stood up and walked out of the house. Lincoln and T.K. stomped up to Leni with half lidded glares of their own.
"Leni, what was that?!" Lincoln demanded, tapping his foot rapidly.
Leni recoiled from the shouting. "But he was wearing socks and sandals!" Leni whined with a pouting lip.
T.K. shook his head disapprovingly, "Honey, you can't just cast a dude aside just because of one discrepancy. That's just bein' shallow."
"Yeah…I'm sorry. I promise to do, like, better next time," Leni assured with a shy smile. The two boys' glares softened.
"Ok, that's good to hear," T.K. remarked with a smile.
"Yeah, do you need something before we resume?" Lincoln asked in mild concern.
"Well…" Leni started, tapping her finger on her chin.
Contestant #2…
Leni and the next candidate, Duke, shared a good laugh after the latter shared one of his stories about his family. "Hahaha, so your barbecue grill really exploded?! Leni giggled, taking a sip of her smoothie.
"Yep, blew my uncle straight through the wall after he tried to 'fix' it," Duke emphasized with air quotes. They shared another laugh as Duke guzzled down his smoothie. "Mmm, this so good! What's in here?"
"Well, it's a berry blend blitz: Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. You like?" Leni asked with a big smile. Duke's eyes began to widen as cold dread washed over him. His eye twitched as he began to sweat.
"B-B-B-blackberries? Did you say blackberries?" Duke squeaked like a whimpering dog.
"Yeah, is it great? My mom bought the best ones in the store," Leni smiled, clueless of Duke's predicament.
Duke shot out of the chair and raced to the door, "I have to go!"
"Duke, wait! You didn't even finished your smoothie!" Leni called out with a small frown. T.K. grabbed Duke's discarded smoothie and took a sip of it.
"Oh, heh heh, I kinda should have had a section on there to warn about allergies," T.K. grinned sheepishly, catching Lincoln's unamused glare towards him.
Thirty minutes later…
Lori walked through the door with a bag of clothes for Leni, "Ok, Leni, you are literally about take a step in the wonderful world ooof…" She held up the bag with a grin and opened her eyes towards the bushelling activity, "Relationshiiiiiiii…Wait, what's going on here?"
Lincoln and T.K. walked up to her with big grins, "Speed dating!" They both answered.
"Oh, great, I suppose that you two had something to do with this?" Lori pried, placing her hand on her hips.
"The plan was my idea. T.K. only lend a hand towards setting everything up," Lincoln answered with a shrug.
"Oh, please, what could you two know about relationships apart from having girlfriends?" Lori scoffed with her arms crossed.
"We know that this could potentially get Leni hooked up," T.K. argued with a glare.
Lori raised her eyebrow, "Oh, really?" She pointed towards the table. "You call THAT 'hooked up'?" The two boys followed her finger to find Leni giving the third contestant, Joey, a makeover. She gave him a mirror to inspect it. Joey jumped out of his chair and ran out screaming due to Leni's horrid skills of applying makeup. Lori gave T.K. a skeptical glare.
"She's a work in progress," T.K. reassured quickly.
Three hours later…
"Twenty guys…Leni went through twenty…guys," Lincoln said in utter shock. Leni sat with a heartbreaking frown. It killed the three to see her like this. Lori sighed before walking up to Leni.
T.K. shook his head, refusing to believe everything, "No, there's still a chance for Leni."
"Look, boys, you did your best and that's ok. Now, let me take a crack at this. Come on, Leni," Lori asked, taking Leni's hand. There's a knock at the door; Lincoln answered it. A teen with a black beret, black, slicked back hair, and black sunglasses looked down at the young boy. He wore a black sport jacket with a white v-neck t-shirt.
"Yeah, is this the speed datin' gig?" The male asked coolly, taking the toothpick out.
Lincoln nodded, "Yes, but it ov-"
The male walked in, making Lincoln step aside, "That's all I need to hear. Excuse me." He walked up to Leni, who gave him a blank look. "My, you look even beautiful in person. The picture on the flyer doesn't do your blinding beauty justice."
"Oh, hehe, thank you. Say, I haven't got, like, your name?" Leni giggled, covering her growing smile.
"Drew and that's the only name you need to remember for now on," Drew winked, receiving more giggles from Leni. He took a look towards Leni's dress, "Say, that's a nice dress. Is that made out of…silk?"
Leni gasped, putting her hands up to her cheek, "O-M-gosh, it is! How did you know?"
"Weell…I watch a few fashion shows every now and then," Drew admitted, rubbing the back of his head." Leni gasped even harder as her eyes sparked.
"TELL…ME…EVERYTHING!" Leni squealed, taking his hand and dashed towards the couch. As the two converged, Lincoln, Lori, and T.K. looked on.
"Even though he was kinda rude at the beginning, I think Leni has found a new boyfriend," Lincoln declared with a smirk.
Lori nodded, "Yeah, I had my doubts in the beginning but you two proved me wrong. Good job, boys!"
"Thanks, Lori," Lincoln responded happily. T.K. squinted his eyes as he looked on towards Drew. Lincoln took notice, "Is there something wrong, T.K.?"
"I know I remember that cat somewhere but…where, though?" T.K. pondered, raising a eyebrow.
Lincoln patted him on the back, "Don't sweat it, man. Besides, we did a great thing today." He motioned towards Leni and Drew, who were still talking. T.K. gave a small nod.
Later that evening…
T.K. stood in front of Lori's and Leni's room with a bored expression. After the speed dating event, Drew asked Leni on a real date around sunset. She and Lori spent all day preparing Leni for it. She asked for T.K.'s opinion because she knew that he would only tell the truth about her overall look; lying would lead to an angry Leni and no one wants an angry Leni. T.K. let out a groan as he struggled to try and remember Drew. "Ugh, there's somethin' familiar about Leni's date but I can't put my finger on it," T.K. explained to the reader.
CREAK!
"Oh, Tee Keeee!" Leni called, hiding her growing grin behind the cracked door. T.K. squinted his eyes as he tried to get a better look. Giggling, Leni slowly opened more and more of the door, revealing herself to T.K. The young dreadhead's jaw dropped at the breathtaking sight of Leni: she finished her new sea-foam green dress, which had see through sleeves and a small slit, white high heeled sandals, a fashionable pair of sunglasses, and her hair was curled, giving it a wavy look.
Smiling warmly, Leni gave a adorable, flamboyant pose on the door to show off her dress, "So, like, what do you think?"
"Buh, buh, b-buh, beautiful!" T.K. sputtered, blushing wildly. Gushing happily, Leni walked over, crouched down, and held him by the cheeks.
"Aww, thank you, Terri! Do you want anything while I'm gone?" Leni asked.
T.K. shook his head as best as he could, "No, thanks. Your happiness is enough for me."
"He he he, such a sweetheart! Are you sure?" Leni pried, pulling T.K. into a tight hug.
T.K. patted her back, taking in her mint perfume, "Yeah, I'm sure. Good luck on your date, doll."
"Thanks!" Leni praised.
DING DONG!
"Eee, he's here!" Leni squeaked with a wide grin. She ran downstairs as T.K. followed her. Leni opened the door to Drew, who had a dark grey suit on and was holding a bouquet of flowers. "Drew, you came!" Leni hugged him before taking a look towards the flowers. "Are those for me?"
"Yep, hand picked them myself from the flower shop," Drew answered with a smug smile.
Leni clapped with joy, "Great, I kno-"
"Hahahaaa, I'm sure you do, Keni. I know a better place. One of those fusion restaurants called Arigato Amico. Ha, nice, right?" Drew cackled, abruptly catching T.K.'s attention.
"Um, yeah, I guess; my name's Leni by the way. Now, shall we, like, go?" Leni asked, holding her hand out.
Drew grabbed it, "Yeah, yeah." He looked towards T.K., "I have her back before midnight, little guy." They head out the door as T.K. closed the door behind them. Lincoln and Lori walked to him with Lincoln eating a sandwich.
"Hey, T.K., was that Leni? She looked beautiful," Lincoln pointed out, chomping down on his sandwich.
"Yeah, probably your best plan yet, twerp," Lori complimented, rubbing Lincoln's hair.
T.K. gave no response as Lincoln waved his hand in front of him. "Hellooo, T?"
"I…think I remember who's Leni's date is. That cackle of his is the same one that Keith's older brother lets out. Lincoln, I think we just set up Leni with him!" T.K. revealed fearfully.
Lincoln and Lori dropped their sandwich and phone respectively, jaw dropping, "WHAT!?"
"I've heard from Keith that Drew liked to corral multiple girls and also that he scored at least seven girls in one summer," T.K. recalled.
"Dastardly Drew…I literally thought he was an urban legend until my golf coach reported him to the principal after he tried to flirt with the varsity girl's team" Lori said before glaring at Lincoln, "I take back what I said about the plan, Lincoln."
"I didn't hear you come up with any ideas," Lincoln argued, glaring back.
Lori cracked her knuckles, "Say that again, twerp!"
"'EY, focus on the matter at hand. Now, what are we gonna do?" T.K. insisted, pushing the two apart.
"WE?! YOU two are gonna tail Leni and make sure that she's literally ok! Now, TRY not to get caught!" Lori instructed fiercely.
Lincoln and T.K. gave her a salute, "Ma'am, yes, ma'am." They raced out of the door.
Thirty minutes later…
Leni found more about Drew during the date. Needless to say, Drew was kinda crude, rude, and he kept forgetting her name. She kinda wanted to end the date then and there but the night is still young and she believed that Drew could change. Leni took in the scenery as they ate their food, "Wow, this place is, like, so couth!"
"Heh, it is the bee's knees, Deni," Drew cackled. At a nearby table, Lincoln and T.K. sat down and listened to the conversation as best they can. They had to keep their distance so that they wouldn't be caught.
"Ugh, I thought that greeter would never budge," T.K. groaned, picking up a menu brochure.
"Yeah, I can't believe how snooty someone can be," Lincoln nodded, picking up a menu brochure as well. He stifled through the items and gagged, "Eww, sushi and maggot infested cheese? Who would eat that?"
T.K. raised an eyebrow towards his uncultured brother, "Look around you, Linc. This restaurant sells Japanese and Italian cuisine exclusively." Lincoln gave a glare towards T.K. "Now order somethin' or they'll kick us out," T.K. instructed before a particular item caught his eye. "Spicy tuna lasagna? Oh, I gotta try this."
Lincoln rolled his eyes, "Only you can think of food at a time like this." He looked towards Leni and Drew. "Shh, they're talking."
"Hey, Jeni, try some of that wasabi," Drew ordered, pointing towards the container full of it.
"Ohh, will it make my skin shiny?" Leni piped, looking at the container in interest.
Drew shrugged with a grin, "Something like that."
Leni took the small container and picked up a medium amount of wasabi. She placed in her mouth and began to chew it happily. Lincoln's and T.K.'s jaws dropped in horror.
"Oh, god, tell me that she did NOT just do that?!" T.K. face palmed in disbelief.
Lincoln nodded fearfully, "She did."
Drew still kept that grin, "So, how does it taste like?"
Leni stopped chewing and looked towards Drew. "Hmm, it's harsh and not really, like, fresh tas-ACK!" Leni grimaced, feeling the full heat of the wasabi. Drew finally lost it and began to laugh out at Leni's unfortunate situation. The fashionista spitted out the wasabi and screeched as she searched for something to take the pain away.
Lincoln and T.K. were appalled at Drew's behavior. Gritting his teeth, T.K. hopped out of his chair, grabbed a fork, and began to make his way towards Drew. Lincoln saw this and grabbed T.K. by the arm, "T.K., no! You'll blow our cover and go to Juvie," Lincoln whispered harshly, pulling him back.
"Well, what do you want me to do, huh!? He made her eat wasabi! That was completely foul!" T.K. shot back.
Lincoln sighed, "I know, bro. I promise we'll get him back for that. Just be patient." Growling, T.K. stabbed the fork onto the table and sat back down. Drew grabbed a fish and held it over Leni's mouth.
"Here, here, the fish will take the heat off," Drew informed, dropping into her mouth. Leni chomped down on the fish eagerly until the spice went away, The waiter came by with the bill. Drew checked his pockets before giving Leni a sheepish look, "Say, Weni, I left my wallet at home. Could ya.."
Glaring, Leni sighed before taking her own wallet out.
Thirty minutes later…
Drew decided to take the date to Dairyland. That made Leni nervous as she detest roller coasters with a VENGEANCE. To be honest, Leni want the date to be over but her instinct told to stick it out in hopes that Drew would redeem himself. Lincoln and T.K. slowly followed them behind with a newspaper as they walked to the line for the Milk Churner.
"That guy is the definition of SCUM!" T.K. whispered harshly, wrinkling the newspaper.
Lincoln nodded, "I agree." He looked up at the Milk Churner sign, "Wait, I thought Leni hated roller coasters?"
"Maybe she got over them, Linc. Now, move it! We're loosin' them!" T.K. barked, picking up speed.
Meanwhile…
"Aw, man, I got the both of us all day tickets. We'll be riding everything by the end of the night! Isn't that great, Yeni?!" Drew squealed happily.
Leni gave a sheepish nod, "Y-Yeah, I can't w-wait to ride it!" She gave a small whimper. Drew showed the booth attendant the passes and the attendant escorted them to the first cart.
"Here you go, lovebirds. Please wait as the other get situated," The attendant told as he walked away. Drew hopped up and down excitedly while Leni shook like a leaf. More people, along with Lincoln and T.K., sat in their directed seats.
"T-minus five…four," The attendant counted down. Leni's pupils shrunk down to pinpricks. "Three…two," The attendant continued. Leni sweated profusely as she stood up. Lincoln and T.K. hid just in time.
"STOP, LIKE, GET ME OFF OF THIS THING!" Leni screeched, waving her arms wildly.
"Whoa, whoa, Peni, calm down," Drew demanded, attempting to place his hand on her shoulder. Leni slapped his hand off of her.
"Don't touch me! Did you even care about asking me how I feel about roller coasters!?" Leni asked angrily, crossing her arms.
Drew was flabbergasted, "Oh…so you don't like roller coasters, then?"
Leni facepalmed, "And people, like, say that I'm an idiot. I stayed with you because I thought we could have something, like, special from your first impression but I was wrong. You got my name wrong, you nearly made me rode on a roller coaster, and you made me eat something that I knew nothing about and LAUGHED at me! H-how dare you, Drew!?" Tears began to flow freely from her eyes.
Drew attempted to touch her again. "Heni, come on, you not think-"
SLAP!
Drew recoiled from the hard slap. The crowd cheered for Leni as she glared at him fiercely. "*sniff* DON'T…TOUCH…ME! AND MY NAME IS LENI!" Leni yelled. She turned towards the attendant, "GET ME OFF OF THIS NOW!"
The attendant nodded quickly as he lifted the safety bar off of her. Leni stood up and powerwalked out of the line. Lincoln and T.K. exchanged worried looks.
Three minutes later…
The brotherly duo traced Leni's shrieks of sadness to her sitting on a lone bench near the exit. She was utterly devastated from what happened. They gave her look of pity as they slowed their pace to a walk and sat by her. "Hey, cinnamon roll, you alright?" T.K. asked, rubbing her back soothingly.
Leni sniffed before wiping her tears, "No, I'm not. Everything's not, like, alright, Tee Kee. That was one of the worst dates I've had in my life! I'm so stupid!"
Lincoln raised an eyebrow, "Wait, hold on a second. Did he even ask you if you liked sushi and rollercoasters?"
"N-no," Leni answered curiously, stopping the waterworks to listen.
"On top of that, he tricked you into eating wasabi and laughed at you! He deserved to have the crap slapped outta him! Leni, you could do so much better," T.K. said, giving a loving grasp on her shoulder.
Leni gave a small smile, "Thanks, boys." She raised her eyebrow in confusion, "Wait, why are you two, like, here, though?"
"We won all day passes," T.K. lied.
"There was a new ride," Lincoln lied.
Leni giggled and grinned, "Sooo, you two weren't checking up on me, huh?"
"…Yes," They answered sheepishly. Leni gushed happily and hugged them both tightly.
"Awwwww, boys, you didn't have to do that for me," Leni said lovingly, snuggling them.
"I couldn't help it, I can't STAND those Conways!" T.K. growled.
Lincoln nodded, "Ditto, but he makes Keith look like a angel compared to him."
"Me also. Although, I totes LOVED this cute dress I made! You boys want to go home and play video games?" Leni asked, standing up.
"Yeah!" The boys responded with gusto.
The next day…
"I'm sorry that things didn't work out between you and Drew, Leni," Lori apologized, saddened that Leni couldn't find Mr. Perfect.
"It's ok, Lori. Maybe, I'm not ready for a serious relationship juust yet but when I am, I'll like, asked you, Linky, and Tee Kee to help every step of the way," Leni smiled warmly.
Lori gave her a hug, "Aww, Leni!" She then gave a look of confusion, "Wait, where is T.K.?"
Meanwhile…
Luan rang the doorbell to the Conway's residence and ran off the porch. She hopped back into the bush and lifted her gas mask up, "The package has been lit. I repeat, the PACKAGE has been lit. You have Big Poppa, T.K.?"
"Yep, the big fool gonna be sorry that he treated Leni like that," T.K. smirked eviliy, holding a yoga ball. They heard the door opened and a scream.
"Oh my god, who put this bag on the porch and set it on fire?!" Drew shouted. The two heard him stomping the bag out. They held there laughs as Drew gagged and coughed. "Oh…my…god, is this DOG POOP!?"
"Now, T.K.!" Luan ordered with a confident grin. Nodding, T.K. stood up and heaved the ball with all his might. Drew was still gagging as he saw a grey large ball coming towards him.
