Chapter 8: A Typical Time
One night in Lori and Leni's bedroom, the Loud siblings were sharing their secrets with each other while doing something with other from pillow fight to braiding hairs. "So then, bam!" Lincoln punched his palm, "My remote control plane smashed right into dad's disco ball, and it broke into a million pieces!"
"Oh, no!" Lynn gasped as she ducked under Lana's pillow, "The one he got from winning the Royal Woods' 'Dance Your Pants Off' contest?! He's so proud of that thing!"
"I know!" Lincoln nodded, "If he ever finds out, I'll be as dead as disco!"
"Don't worry, you're not the only one hiding something from dad." Lori said and almost everyone ooh at her. "I accidentally scratched the van with my rhinestone purse!
"Wait until you know what I did." Naruto braided Leni's hair as the said girl played with Lily, "You remember this creepy clown statue that dad bought from a market? The one that he fall in love with?"
"Oh, this thing…" Luan shuddered with several girls, "This thing gives clowns a bad name. I swear its eyes were following me."
"Yeah, this one." He nodded, "As you all know that, I accidentally broke it while cleaning the living room…Well, it wasn't." Everyone gasped at him at first before they cheer for him, they all don't like this statue very much.
"Nice!" Lynn bumped his fist with a grin before she raise her eyebrow at him, "But wait, don't you promise dad that you'll repair it?"
"…I throw the pieces out." Naruto admitted with a wicked grin.
"You think that's bad?" Luna spoke up, "Remember the blackout last week? It was because I set my speakers to super max."
"I rather enjoy the darkness." Lucy said, "Speaking of which, does anyone know how to get black paint out of lace? I painted mom's wedding dress for my dark betrothal to Edwin."
"Oh, Lucy…" Naruto laughed lightly with headshake, "I'm gonna look it up online for you." The goth girl nod slightly as sign of gratitude.
"What can I say?" Lincoln suddenly spoke to wall again, "We're not angels. Sometimes, we mess up. But the great thing is, if you need to get something off your chest, you can always trust your siblings." They heard a knock at door, "Well, not all of them." He answered the door to reveal their young sister, Lola.
"Whatcha guys talkin' about?" Lola walked in with a sly smile.
"Quantum physics!" Lisa lied.
"Monster trucks!" Lynn replied.
"Bobby!" Lori picked her phone up with a whistle.
"Politics!" Leni cried out.
"Baseball!" Once again, the older tomboy said.
"Jokes!" Luan glanced around.
"Global warming!" Lana raised her hands up in air.
"Existential crisis and what will happen if we disappear without a bang but with a whisper." Naruto said quickly and everyone stare at him for a moment until Lola cross her arms with a angry huff.
"You're telling secrets again, aren't you?" Lola stomped her foot with a growl, "It's not fair! I never get included!"
"That's because you're a tattle-tale, Lola." Lincoln said.
"I am NOT!" The princess wannabe scoffed as everyone stare at her with deadpan expressions, "Okay, I'll admit I used to be a tattle-tale, but I changed!" No one believe her before she suddenly throw her tiara down with a roar as she stormed out, "MOM! THEY WON'T LET ME IN THEIR SECRET CLUB!"
"So where were we?" Lisa pulled a secret chart out.
"I broke dad's disco, Luna caused the blackout, Lori scratched the car, Lucy ruined mom's wedding dress and Naruto broke creepy clown statue." Lincoln rubbed his chin, "Who's next?"
"Ooh! Ooh!" Lana waved her hand up with a giggle, "So you know how dad was yelling at Charles for chewing up his boots? That was me!" The siblings start laughing until one come to a realization.
"Wait a second…" Luan looked at her young sister, "Weren't those steel toe?" They all end up staring at Lana in amaze.
The next day, Naruto walk inside the house with a humming tune and Lola strut up to him with a charming smirk as their mom cleaning the dining table. "Oh, dear big brother, would you kindly drive me to mall right now and purchase me some makeup?" Lola asked him.
"Sorry, I have some homework that I need to get done before it's due." Naruto ruffed her hair up, "Maybe this Saturday if I have a day off."
"Oh, is that so?" She glanced at their mother from the corner of her eyes, "I'm surprised that you don't use those free times to fix dad's clown statue."
"It always slip from my mind." He shrugged his shoulders.
"…Well, at least you don't throw them out." Lola smirked wickedly.
"…Wait…" Naruto looked down at her, "How did you know?"
"Oh, mom." The princess wannabe turned to their mother, "Remember this clown statue that dad bought and Naruto broke it by accident?" She waited to give Naruto some time to change his mind before it's too late but…
"Oh, yes." Rita shivered, "I hate this thing and I'm glad that Naruto broke it on purpose and throw them out." She looked at her, "Don't tell your father that or you're grounded for two weeks."
"Wha…" Lola dropped her jaw at her before her head sharply turn to him.
"Hey, sometime I share some secrets with mom." He shrugged his shoulders at her, "So who told you about this?"
"…Ugh, I'm not gonna tell you." She grumbled before she walk away as she shrug with her hands, "Oh, well, I have plenty servants." Naruto simply corked his eyebrow at her puzzlingly before he brushes it off.
In Lori and Leni's room, the siblings were having an emergency meeting on a certain subject… "Well, I think we all know why we're here." Lori glanced at her siblings with crossed arms, "Lola knows our secrets, and she's literally torturing us!"
"Clearly, we've got a rat!" Lynn looked around suspiciously.
"EW!" Leni hopped up onto Naruto's arms, "WHERE?!"
"No, Leni." Lisa deadpanned at her sister, "A 'rat' is an informal term for a 'snitch'." Her narrowed eyes turned to the rest, "So which one of you lowlife is it?" The siblings were about to accuse each other until Naruto speak up.
"Do you think it's possible that she must overhear us through walls?" Naruto put his ditzy sister down, "If so, it's not this surprising because of thin walls."
"That's p…" The genius rubbed her chin before they hear Lincoln's gasp.
"What the?" Lincoln picked a tiara up with widened eyes before he quickly turn to them, "I know who the rat is, and her name rhymes with granola."
"Lisa?" Leni picked the said girl up confusingly.
"No, it's Lola." The young boy facepalmed as he show them a microphone in tiara, "She put a microphone in her tiara and eavesdropped on our meeting!"
"Well, now we know who the rat is." Lori placed fists on her hip, "But what do we do about it?"
"Yeah, she still has all our secrets!" Lana pointed out.
"But what if we had one of hers?" Lincoln tapped his chin.
"Fat chance." Lynn scoffed, "Lola's a pro. She covers her tracks."
"Everyone make mistakes, even Lola!" The young boy said determined.
"So how are you gonna do it?" Naruto asked him.
"Leave it to me." Lincoln said, "Tomorrow, you guys distract her while I snoop around in her room. If not, then I'll go to this pageant place and ask around."
"Wish I can help you out but I have a shift tomorrow." The blonde teenager rubbed his neck with a wince and his little brother just waves it off.
Naruto walk in with a wide yawn after his work shift and he climb up the stair before he hears a exclamation. "Holy shamoley!" Lola grabbed Lincoln's shirt as the siblings surround her, "Who told you about that?!"
"What's going on?" Naruto approached them curiously and for some reasons, they jump up in air at his voice.
"Nothing!" Lola cried out.
"If you tell mom and dad our secrets, we'll tell them yours!" Lincoln pried her hands off his shirt, "Now if you'll excuse us, those of us who can trust each other are going to hang out." The group leave as several sisters pushed their confusing old brother into Leni and Lori's room as the little girl grumble.
"So what was the secret?" Naruto asked them.
"Nothing." Luna replied quickly. The secret is that Lola told Naruto several lies that some girls were bullying her and he pull corncob pranks at them but what he don't know is that the girls were all from same pageant contest so she can have a upper hand. There are no way they're going to tell him that one!
Later, Lana was sharing her secret with the group. "So then, kaboom!" She makes a explosive gesture, "Mom and dad's bedspread was burnt to crisp!"
"Guys!" The rocker barged into the room with bowl of popcorn, "I just saw Lola marching into mom and dad's room! I think she's ratting us out!"
"She wouldn't dare!" Lincoln leaped up to his feet as the siblings chatter nervously.
"If she's taking us down, we're taking her down with us!" Lori ran out of the room with her siblings in tow and they reach their parent's bedroom as Lola stepped out with dejected expression.
"Thank you for telling the truth, sweetie." Rita looked at her daughter sternly, "But you know I have to punish you. You're grounded for two months." She pat Lola's head then close door as Lola walk past her dumbfounded siblings glumly.
"You're grounded?" Lincoln shook the cobwebs out of his head, "Wait, what's going on?"
"You guys are off the hook." Lola sighed, "I took the blame for all the stuff you did."
The siblings gasp in shock as the white-haired boy gape at her, "What? Why would you do that?!"
"'Cause all I really wanted was to be included in your group." The princess twin muttered.
"Then why'd you threaten to tell on us and make us do all that stuff?" Lincoln asked.
"It was the only way I could get you to hang out with me, beside Naruto because he always hangs out with me most of time!" Lola muttered, "But then I realized I went about it the wrong way. Instead of using your secrets against you, I should have tried to earn your trust." She slowly trudge upstairs, "So from now on, that's what I'm going to work on…If anyone needs me, I'll be up in my room for the next sixty days. Care packages welcome…" The siblings watch her heading up to room and they exchange guilty looks.
Naruto open Lola's door with a light rapping to draw Lola's attention as Lincoln step into her view, "Hey, Lola, you know, we talked it over, and decided…" Lincoln grinned, "You're in! You've earned our trust!" Lola let out a loud gasp in joy.
"OH, YES YES YES YES!" Lola danced around out of joy as the group enter the twin's room and they start sharing their secrets.
"Aw, so you guys won't believe how bad I messed up the other day!" Lynn let a groan out, "I was in the living room, practicing my pile diver with mom's ironing board…" They listen to her as Lola sit on Naruto's lap with wide grin while he comb her hair at her request, she's too exciting to be finally involved with everyone for once.
Three weeks later, the sisters and Naruto sit on the couch in living room as they do their usual things from watching television to rocking out until Lori race in excitingly. "Guys! Guys! Guys!" She pulled out a new dress, "Check out this dress I found at the mall! It's literally one of a kind!"
"Oooh!" The girls whistled impressed at the dress as their oldest sister squeal happily before Leni run in with exactly same dress.
"O-M-Gosh, you guys!" Leni held her dress up to them, "Look at this dress I found at the mall!" Almost everyone gasped at the sight as she notice Lori's dress, "Oooh…When did we put a mirror in the living room?"
That's not a mirror, that's me!" Lori snarled, "Now go take your dress back!"
"What?" Leni narrowed her eyes at her, "No! You take yours back!" They ram their heads together with growls and the sisters slowly back away with Naruto as he picked Lily up.
"Time for your little naptime…" Naruto whispered to his baby sister before they quickly race upstairs.
Several hours later, Naruto slide down the ladder and he notice his little brother walk toward a certain door. "Yeah?" Lincoln talk to himself, "Well, I have a protocol, too!" He knocked on his oldest sisters' door then enter it, "Hey guys. Now I know you've been having a little problem."
"Oh, boy." Naruto quickly head to their sisters' room.
"But I think I can settle this." The young boy held his hands up as the angry sisters utter his name, "Leni, why don't you just return the dress? Lori once said…"
"Hey, lil bro." The blonde teenager called out to him as Lincoln turned to him confusingly, "I'm taking you to comic book store, let's go."
"…Comic book, really?!" Lincoln's eyes lit up before he grab Naruto's hand, dragging him downstairs. "Let's go!"
"I'm taking Lincoln to comic book store!" Naruto hollered out as he picked car key up, "I'm taking mom's car!" They leave the house and get in car as he pull out then drive away before Lincoln realize something.
"Hey, wait!" Lincoln looked up to him, "We gotta stop Lori and Leni from fighting. I don't like the whole sister protocol and…"
"I know you want to do it out of good intention." The blonde teenager spoke up as he kept his eyes on road, "But that isn't one of these times where we have to step in and try to resolve everything."
"Why not?" The young boy threw his hands up, "They are fighting over a stupid dress! I can fix that like I did with Lynn and Lucy! I'm the peacekeeper like you!"
"You are, but that is different." Naruto replied, "They are not fighting over space or room…They are fighting over a dress." Lincoln give him an debrief expression with shaking head out of the corner of his eyes, "Lincoln, there is one very important thing you need to know…" He bring a poker face up, "Girls do not fudge around when it come to clothing and you better get your bottom the hell out. You have to learn that sometime you can't meddle in and expect everything to work out the way you want it to be."
"But still…" Lincoln exhausted out, "Forget it. I'm gonna do something about it when we get back." He crossed his arms and they drove for a while until he looks up to his big brother. "Why do you say fudge instead of fuck?" Naruto nearly stomp down on brake with widened eyes.
"…Where did you learn this word from?!" The blonde teenager uttered in shock.
"From South Park, why?" The young boy asked innocently.
"…Please do not say this word again…Ever, not when you're around mom, dad or any of our young sisters." Naruto warned him, "…And do not watch this show! You're not old enough for it!"
"Why can't I say this word? And this show too? You, Luna and Luan watched this show at night so why can't I?!" Lincoln asked him again and his older brother buried his face in his hands as soon as they stop at stoplight, it look like he's going to have a long talk with his little brother and he's not looking forward to it.
About twenty minutes went by as the brothers look through some comic and Naruto feel the vibrating in his pocket before he check it, it was an phone call from home. "Hey, what's up?" Naruto spoke into his phone.
"Lisa here." The genius' voice spoke, "I want you to know that I put two sleeping bags out front on pouch, along with some change of clothes. We are now at Erupting Volcano."
"ENOUGH WITH YOUR DUMB CHART!" Lana's voice shouted and he can hear some crash on other side.
"How would you like to eat that hat?!" Lisa's voice growled before the line went dead on him and he calmly look at his phone blankly, what just happen while they were gone? He text his best friend to see if he can stay over at her house and make a call to Clyde's daddies.
"Hello, Harold." Naruto smiled, "It's Naruto. How are you and Howard? I'm doing good…Yeah…Well, I'm just calling you to see if Lincoln can sleep over for a night…Well, my sisters are fighting and it's pretty intense…Erupting Volcano."
"Did he say Erupting Volcano?!" Howard's voice gasped as he hears some swatting sounds as if he was hitting his husband's shoulder, "That's it, Lincoln has to stay with us for a night!" There was a hasty whispers before he hear their voice again.
"Great, thank!" The blonde teenager nodded, "I'll drop him off…Oh, that's okay, I'm staying at my friend's house. Thank for offer…Bye!" He hanged up as he looked at his little brother coming up to him with some books, "Hey, lil bro, guess what? You're gonna have sleepover at Clyde's tonight."
"Oh, sweet!" Lincoln grinned widely, he can't wait to spend a night with his best friend and his parent is pretty cool and funny.
"Yeah, sweet." Naruto grinned back as he take the books from Lincoln, "Is that all you want?" His respond was an nod, "Okay, let me buy them then we can go home so I can pick something up and drop you off at Clyde."
"Thank, you rock!" The white-haired boy gave him a thumb-up and Naruto just chuckle.
"Thank again for letting me stay over." Naruto unrolled his sleeping bag on a sofa in Jackie's house after he dropped Lincoln off at his best friend's house.
"No problem." Jackie waved her hand, "You would do the same thing for me if I have many siblings and they're fighting."
"Right." He nodded before he glance at her, "You sure your parents are okay with having me over while they're out of town?"
"Yup, they trust you." She replied, "…Except for dad, he told me to tell you, 'No funny business with my little girl'."
"…I think you leave the part about bat out." Naruto deadpanned and she snort at him, her father tend to threaten any boys with baseball bat if they were here for his daughter and Naruto was only one who don't get a threat from him until now. His eyes gaze at her sleeping bag on couch across the sofa, "So you're gonna sleep here instead in your room?"
"Yeah, like old time." Jackie picked remote off the table as she turned television on, "Watching some movies, eat junk foods and try to stay up late." She think to herself, "When was the last time we have sleepover?"
"About one or two years ago, I think?" He shrugged his shoulders and she nod in agreement.
"So who are fighting over what this time?" The laidback best friend selected a recently movie.
"Lori and Leni over same 'one-of-a-kind' dress." Naruto answered and they chat a bit while watching a movie.
The next day, Naruto picked Lincoln up and drove back to their home. "I can't believe you distracted me from the important thing." Lincoln hopped out of the car then he march straight to the door, "I'm gonna end this stupid fight and…" He enters the house with his big brother, only to blink at the sight of his sisters socialize with each other as if they didn't have a big fight. "What's going on? What happened to the fighting?"
"We're over that." Lori blew air out, "We made up."
"All of you?" Lincoln blinked.
"Correct." Lisa nodded, "Threat level is back to Field of Daisies."
"Oh, thank goodness!" The voice of their father can be heard from his bedroom.
"I don't understand." The young boy shook his head confusingly, "How did you fix everything? The dress?"
"I came up with the perfect solution." Leni grinned beamingly, "Lori gets to wear it on the days that end in 'Y', and I get to war it the rest of the time." Slowly, the brothers look at Lori confusingly and she gives them equal-confusing shrug.
"And once they made up, the rest of us made up." Lynn said.
"See, Lincoln?" Naruto messed his little brother's hair up, "Sometime it's better to leave them alone and let them work it out on their own."
"T-That's weird…" Lincoln muttered, loss at word. "So sometime I gotta butt out and respect the sister fight protocol?" His big brother nodded.
"Glad you finally get it." Lana smirked.
"So next time when Lynn says she needs a windshield wiper when Lisa talks, or Lana says Lola snores like Pop-Pop, I have to staying out of it." The young boy said as he dish out about what the girls talk behind their back and the gaping sisters slowly turn to each other before they start to growling at each other.
"Dang it, Lincoln." The blonde teenager quickly picked the said boy up and he make a break for it outside as he make a call again to several certain people.
"Phew." Lynn Sr. exited his room with toilet paper roll, "Can't wait to use the real toilet." He halt in his trail as soon as his daughters start fighting again, "…RETREAT! RETREAT!" He ran back in to avoid his daughters' violent fight.
Several days later, the Loud family were having dinner and Lori was asking their parent for permission to have a party in basement. It takes her a while to persuade her parent with few points and promises. "Well, I guess it won't hurt to host a party." Lynn Sr. scratched his chin, glancing at his wife.
"As long as it stays in basement." Rita nodded, "And keep it small."
"Yes!" Lori pumped her fist, "Thank, mom, dad!"
"Wow, first party." Leni clapped her hands, "What kind of theme are we doing?"
"Just normal stuff." The oldest teenager shrugged her shoulders, she would go for mature party but her first one will be a test-run and at same time, she has to earn more of her parent's trust. "Socializing, dancing and other stuffs."
"When do you think you will have party?" Luna asked, "That way I can set up some sweet music for gig."
"Friday?" Lori glanced at her parents, receiving an approval nod from them since it's not on school night.
"Three days, huh?" Naruto hummed, "Want me to buy soda boxes and few things for you?"
"You sure?" The oldest sister turned to him.
"Yeah, I got my paycheck yesterday." He waved it off with a wide grin.
"Thank, I'll text you the list." Lori smiled, texting him a short list and he check his message.
"I think I can get everything from a store near here." Naruto get up, "Mom, I'm taking your car. Is that okay?"
"Yes, please come home before eight." Rita glanced at clock, the store was about thirty minute drive away and knowing her son, it will be a quick in-and-out. Her son give her a wave as he grab the key and he went outside after telling his family that he'll be right back.
After purchased refreshments, Naruto load them in the back of car and he get in as the car start up. He pull out of the store's parking lot and drive for a bit before he stop at the red light. Naruto switch radio channels until he find a good song and he wait until the light turn green. The teenager step on gas as he checked both way and Naruto hum along with song. Before he know it, there was a bright light from his right side then he hear a metallic crash, following by pain and everything just black out.
The cars behind him suddenly brake and someone quickly get out to check on Naruto as the other passenger hurriedly dials 911. They just witness some car running past red light, hitting this car and speed away without stop.
CLIFFHANGER! YEAH! I'M ONE EVIL BASTARD!
And that end the eighth chapter of NL! Love it? Hate it?
So far we just saw a couple of episodes. Nothing but normal stuff until…(Hold on for one minute, I'm going inside my anti-riot bunker.)…BAM! Cliffhanger!
