There she was. Big sister. There, with her sharp clutches that can clutch the dreams with her mean attitude. I knew I was in trouble.
"Leni, I know you are literally busy doing your mission and stuff, but I think Lincoln should be with me in my tea party," Lori insists to her younger sister.
"No, why should I bring Lincoln to your tea party?" Leni replies.
"Because I know what's best for Linky here," Lori points out. "I mean look at him."
"What you talking about? I don't need to look at him because he's a nice-looking knight prince. Right Linky?" When Leni looks at baby Lincoln, the infant is pointing directly at Lori's teapot.
"See? He likes having tea with me. So give him to me!" With that, Lori grabs Lincoln's arm, but Leni grabs him back to her.
"No! Give me him!" Leni growls.
"Give him to me!"
"Give me him!"
Suddenly, Luna busts the party and insists to her older sisters. "No dudes! He's rocking with me!"
If that wasn't enough, there's also the shredder. I don't know. She says she keeps shredding. Oh well…
"Oh, why so? Is he fiddling with your xylophone?" Lori berates her.
"Exactly yes, dude. Who knows? He might be my drummer in my own band."
"How can he be a drummer when he's talking to a xylophone?" Leni asks, though she has no idea what she's pertaining to.
"Uhmm Leni, a xylophone is not literally a phone," Lori points out.
"Oh, then why is it called a 'xylophone?'" Leni squeals, making the two sisters palm their faces.
"Whatever dude. Lincoln enjoys jamming with me. So give him to me!" With Luna's grip on Lincoln's diaper waistband joining the scuffle, the three sisters fight over their poor baby Lincoln.
Out of nowhere, Luan pops up and intrudes the fight. "Hey, I see three big babies fighting over another baby."
But too late. Here's the unfunny joker. I can almost hear her evil laugh, haunting in my eyes.
"Oh, quit it Luan!" Lori shouts at her.
"Why Lori? Have you gone child? Hahahaha." Luan's jokes just increase Lori's anger. "Hey Luna! Seemed to have a tight grip on Linky's diaper. Baby got back? Hehehe. Get it?"
"Oh, you just did not?!" Luna scowls at her sister, right before quarreling to her, producing a fight cloud, where Lori and Leni also join in. Baby Lincoln tries to crawl away, but Lori grabs him in the last minute. The fight extends from the living room to the dining room to the kitchen to the yard, until they stop near the staircase.
And just as they did, each sister has their grasp on Lincoln: Leni on Lincoln's right arm, Lori on his left, Luna on the back part of his diaper and Luan on the front. But Leni is determined to have Lincoln on her hands.
And there I was, fighting for Lincoln against the three sisters of evil. The Dragon Lori. The Loch Ness Moonster. And the Killing Yoke, or maybe the Tilling Joke. But whoever they are, they are monsters that I must protect from Lincoln. Or monsters that I need to protect from Lincoln. But whoever they are, they are bad, and I must protect Lincoln.
Never do they notice as they fight over their baby brother, he is slowly feeling the hurt of being fought over. Eventually, he cries, prompting the sisters to stop. Just hearing him cry hurts their feeling.
Leni easily picks him and tries to comforts him. "It's okay Linky. Mommy's here. It's fine. Sorry that mommy has to fight over from my monster sisters." When they hear to how Leni refers to them, the other three become angry at her. "It's okay. I'm here, little prince. Shh…" Leni keeps on pacifying him until baby Lincoln calms down from crying. Subsequently, he still pouts, though his whining dies down.
After successfully calming her brother, Leni brags this to her sisters, "See guys, prince Lincoln feels fine if he is with me. So, better leave us alone and go back to your busyness."
"Uhmm, it's business Leni," Luna corrects her.
"So, if that's what it is, does it mean we are businessmen?" Leni humbly asks, though her sisters take a groan at her interpretation.
Just as I thought everything is alright, the worst happened.
Suddenly, the young Loud siblings hear commotion, a sound of porcelain crashing and objects dropping to the floor, from upstairs, prompting them to head to where the tremors came from. Lori and Luna reach at the foot of the final step after they see the folding steps leading to the attic opened and trembling.
"Someone must be at the attic," Luna deduces.
"Oh no! Not the attic! No! No! No!" Leni is troubled by this observation, and she hurries towards the attic. The rest of the sisters and baby Lincoln follow suit.
As the five reach to attic, they find the area in shambles and torn. Leni's made up dollhouse was wrecked. Toys were trashed around. Pieces of cloth were scattered. And mess was all over the place. Needless to say that the devastation will mark a devastation for Leni. At the middle of the wreckage is toddler Lynn, who has found her ball and is keeping on throwing at around for play.
"Lynn!" the siblings utter in unison.
Clueless, Lynn innocently waves back at them. "Hey everyone!"
"Lynn, what did you do?!" Leni frantically shrieks.
"Me find ball, so I find ball in treasure chest," Lynn innocuously replies through her developing speech. She is referring to the treasure chest that their dad used to hide their stuff. And it becomes clear that Lynn rummaged the place to find the chest itself, and kept wrecking the place to play.
"Lynn, you're literally in big trouble," Lori teasingly warns her.
"Why?" she utters.
But just like that, Leni becomes devastated that her hard work that she placed on creating her playhouse for Lincoln was all tarnished. She takes pity on herself, digging in that her quest has failed. "Why?! I only wanted is to see my own castle, my own kingdom, my own adventures. But it's all gone. Gone!"
The siblings can only witness the devastation on their sister's face.
"Leni…?" Luna calls out to her.
Leni literally throws a fit to them, but it misses. "Get out! This is what you want, right? For me to go away? Your dumb sister! Who just wants to have fun with her baby brother!" After venting, she breaks down in tears.
"Leni, we're sorry…" Luan apologizes.
But Leni tearfully rebuffs them. "Just go away!" Devastated is she as she falls to the wooden floor, weeping.
Leni's emotions truly affects the rest of the siblings. Toddler Lynn also feels the guilt of wrecking the place that she thought is fine to wreck. "Did I do wrong?" she asks Lori. Lori only gives a sigh as an answer.
Nevertheless, the siblings leave their sister alone and retreat downstairs to shrug off the guilt they have.
"Man, I feel like a real heel," Luna utters.
"Yeah, we really shoed her away," Luan follows, "No pun intended."
"Me sorry," Lynn moans.
"But yeah, we are literally sponsible," Lori admits. "Wish there's something we could do."
While the sisters drown in self-pity, Lincoln takes a stand for himself and convinces his sisters to take the next step. In his baby language, he tells them to "work together, for it will be a long day for them". Just what came from his infantile attitude, it looks too ridiculous on paper.
"Okay Lincoln, you may literally stop the goo-goo-ga-ga," Lori insists.
But Luna is won over for his conviction. "Little bro's right. We must might make it up to Leni, even if it's not our fault. We're Louds! What you say guys?"
With that, Lynn cheers for her and counts herself in.
Luan also follows suit. "I'm in! To Len-i hand. Hehehe. Get it?"
"Lori?" Luna asks her sister.
With a deep breath, she utters, "Well, she's literally my roommate. For Leni!"
Altogether, the siblings shout, "For Leni!"
