May 17th, 2016

Vanzilla disappeared down the street. Leni had her arms around each twin, as they stared at the street.

"Leni, when will they come back?" Lola looked up at Leni.

"They'll fix Luan, and they'll be here soon."

Both twins heard her mumble something they couldn't make out. Lana turned back to the fire. "My pets... I have to know if they made it out..." Lana broke free from Leni's arm and ran around the house.

"Lana, be, like, careful!" Leni cried.

Lola sprinted after the young tomboy. "I'll keep an eye on her."

Leni stood in her place, not replying back.

Lana searched around the yard, then inside Charles' doghouse. None of the pets were here. Lana grew shifty. "Hops isn't here! HOPS IS STILL INSIDE!"

Lola stopped Lana from going inside, pulling on her overalls. "Lana, heal!"

The tomboy fought to break free.

"Maybe they all escaped! And are far from here!" Lola countered.

Lana quit moving, considering that possibility. "You're right! They could be in the woods!" The second Lola let go of her, Lana used up all of her energy and ran back to the front of the house. She ran past, and took an immediate left. Lola gave chase.

Why did I say that?!

"Guys, where are you going? We're supposed to, like, stay here!"

"She's looking for her pets!"

"Wait for me! I'm supposed to watch you!"

"Keep up!"

Lola lost Leni upon reaching the lively, busy streets of town. Leni was lost within the crowd.

"Dang it, Lana!" Lola broke through the sea of people, and Lana was barely in view. Lola was led to the road that led outside of town.

"Cliff! Charles!" Lana ran alongside the border of the woods upon reaching it. Lola finally tired, wanting some water. "Lana!"

The tomboy slowed down, beginning to scan around the environment. "Lana!" Lola was relieved for the long run to stop.

"They're-" Lola looked back behind her. Leni was nowhere to be seen. "Lana... We need to go back! Lori might have returned."

Lana did not pay attention to her.

"They're not here. They could be anywhere. I'm sure they're fine. They have to be. They-" Lola was shaking all over. Her hands could not keep still. The huge fire that nearly claimed her life was-

"Lana, let's go. We'll find them. Leni probably lost her way around." The teary tomboy then bolted deeper into the woods, with her conserved energy. "Hey, stop! Leni lost us! We gotta go back, or we'll get in trouble!"

"I don't care! My pets are here, I know it!"

Lola did not enter the woods. "LANA!"

"HOPS! GEO! CLIFF!"

She crunched over leaves and twigs, peeking around trees. "HOPS! WALT!"

Lola looked behind her again, this time seeing a brief glimpse of gray smoke appearing far in the distance. "Lana..."

The tomboy took her hat off, and stopped walking behind trees. "...Hops?"

Maybe none of them made it. None of the pets escaped, therefore-

Lola waited around for her to come back. She too, was scared for the pets, and hoped that Lana would emerge from the woods with them all. But that wasn't the case

Lana came out, looking glum to the max. Lola saw the glimmering sadness in her eyes. Lana slowly walked towards her, and proceeded to hug the diva, still holding her red hat in her left hand.

"Lana, they're fine. We're gonna find them."

"Hops is out there, all alone... Could they really be okay?"

Lola shook the twin. "Enough of that talk! They're alive, and we'll find them!" She grabbed Lana's hand. "We have to go back, though. Leni might've gotten lost on her way here."

"O-Oh, right. Where did I-?" Lana felt around herself.

"You forgot your phone, too?"

"Dang it. Well, our safety is number one concern. Just like we've been taught with those emergency exercises."

The two took their time returning back to the house. Time wasn't known at the minute, but it was a long walk, longer due to the often breaks the two took in between. No sign of Leni along the way.

"Maybe she returned back?"

"Oh, please. This is Leni we're talking about."

"...Well, that's true."

One block away, and the two made out a couple of police cars, a firetruck and an ambulance already on the scene. The twins slowled their walking. A crowd of onlookers were behind the yellow tape, most of them middle aged men and women. Finally, one of them noticed the twins coming.

"Hey, those two live here!"

An officer turned his attention to them, and crossed to the other side of the tape from underneath.

Lana and Lola would have run again, in fear of the unknown, an unrealistic fear for kids their age, but at this second, wasn't impossible to believe. And also, the two couldn't really run a second time, out of being worn out.

"You two live here?"

Lola nodded, while Lana remained silent.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"My..." Lola looked to the charcoal of the house, which was somehow still standing. "Fire, my parents..." She placed a hand over her mouth.

"Castle, get them out of here! Take them to the station, not here!"

The cop stuttered. "Yes, sir, Deputy Rogers!"

Lana and Lola were escorted to one of the cop cars.

"Don't worry, girls, we'll do what we can for you."

Lana held Lola's hand, distracting her from the house. They missed Lori driving Vanzilla by four seconds. The officer drove off steadily.

Later

The two were sitting in what they assumed was his office.

"What are your names?"

"I'm Lola. And this is Lana."

"Hi, Lola. I'm Officer Castle. Now, if you don't mind me asking, why is Lana here quiet?"

Lana and Lola exchanged looks for a second.

"Well, when the fire had..." She pulled at her pink dress. "T-The-..."

"Take your time, sweetie."

"It spread. We were all screaming. My sisters, they-"

"I'm sorry, there's more? How many sisters?"

"There's... Ten of them. And one brother."

"Ah a big- Did you all make it out?"

"Only one didn't make it out. Her, and my parents. Oh god, they're-"

Her dress soaked up, as well as the sleeves. Officer Castle fiddled with the computer in front of him. "You're the Loud family, correct?"

"Yes, sir." Lana finally talked.

"Then, where are the others? And also, where have you two run off to? It seemed like you were coming back from somewhere."

"We had pets... I mean, have... I don't know anymore..."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

He picked up a phone, and dialed a number.

"Yes? Hello, I have a case here, about possible homeless kids."

Lana stood up.

"Oh, okay. Not a problem. Royal Woods, Michigan. Yes, thank you. Thank you. Goodbye."

He placed the phone back on its place.

"What was that about?"

"Look, you kids, you're all alone. And these other sisters, we might have to find whoever we can. You're all going to be in the care of child services. They will decide the best course of action for you."

"What do you mean?" The twins grew visibly nervous.

"Someone will come in a few days. In the meanwhile..." Officer Castle looked around. "I never signed up for this, but how would you like to-"

May 26th, 2016

"Lieberman, you idiot. One job, you had one job!"

"Sorry about that, the girl up and left with the baby yesterday. What are the chances? The day I didn't check, and she-"

Officer Castle dropped the walkie talkie.

"Uhh, sir? What was all that about?" Lana had wandered into his private room.

"Nothing, Lana. Its-"

The phone rang. He held a finger up to her. "Hello?"

"Hello there! You called up Child Services earlier today? We've send one of our own down to come for the kids you've mentioned about in your files."

"Yes, of course. Okay, thank you."

Lana stared at him. "What was that about?"

"Look, why don't you go back to bed? There's a special guest comimg tomorrow to see you."

"Guest?"

July 20th, 2016

Processing, paperwork, information. It took a lot, but this worked out for everyone. Except the twins.

They had themselves a single room, living with these people, their new parents. Foster parents, the pther grown ups called it. They were somewhere far away, in the state of "Arkaysis" or something. The house was more like around a suburban area. Lana didn't know if she liked it, as of yet. The two had each a bed in the room; one blue, the other pink.

It was amazing, but there were only two kids, not eleven. Not even a baby. Worst of all, there were no pets. Lana took her hat off, laying over the bed. Lola sat in her own, and watched Lana in her misery.

"Well?"

"Well, what? I don't like it here. I mean, its nice, but its not home."

"You don't think I know that? Lana, at least wet have a home."

"Its... It'll never be the same. What's the point?"

"Try to play along here." Lola laid down next to her. "You have me, Lans."

"I don't like that nickname."

"Get over it, twinnie." She snuggled with her, stroking her hair gently. "Tell me you love me. I wanna know if I still have that power over you."

Lana sighed. "I love you, Lola."

The diva touched her nose. "Boop!"

Lana smiled briefly.

"There it is!"

December 3rd, 2021

The twelve year old twins ran around in the park playground. Lola had begun to dress less like a diva, but remained girly. Lana had take a liking to dark colored clothing, mainly sweaters. The two were having fun without the others, which was unnoticed by them. Had been for a long time.

Lana slid down the tall slide. "Catch me if you can!"

Lola circled around, thinking smart. Lana howled laughingly, trying to evade her sister.

Lola was not really a runner, slower than Lana. The second place, despite usually coming in first in many beauty pageants.

She did not really share an interest in that anymore, but still loved to dress fashionable every so often.

Lana's past years could have had better days, but this was fine enough. Here, Lana knew much already coming here. So much that she actually was hired to do work, and sometimes be a bike mechanic to a couple of growing kids.

It wasn't much, but she did make enough and saved up for a bike. Forty dollars spared, which were given to Lola for her clothing desires.

And Lola loved her pink sweater and black jean shorts. The two were starting to forget about them. If not, have.

Lola took a time out. "Aw, I lost."

Lana raised her arms in the sky, clenching them into fists. "I win again!"

Lana had gotten stronger from her worktime of lifting, dragging and constant walking.

"No fair!"

"Life isn't fair..."

Lana retracted her words. "I mean..." She sighed.

"Do you... miss them?"

"Do you, Lola?"

The ex-diva looked to the sand, and Lana instantly knew.

"You know I do, too. I always do."

"Is it wrong to be happy here? Happy without them? I... Feel so dirty. So guilty."

"Look, Lola." Lana sat beside her. "They'd want us to be happy. Not what you're feeling. And vice versa. Mom and dad would..."

Lola wiped something of a tear away. "Its been years, I know, but... I want to see them again. All of them. This isn't fair."

Lana looked at two adults helping two kids down the slide.

"Oh, I see... Lola, don't keep hurting yourself. Don't think." She pulled her hand. "I think its time we go now."

The two silenty walked back home.

July 8th, 2023

The girls were only sleeping when the sounds of the door being smashed in woke them with fear. The two heard footsteps running around outside the halls. The door of their room burst open. There were men in black armor, holding up guns like they've never seen before.

"What is going on?! Who are you?" The twins were pulled from the bed forcibly. "Mr. Turner! Ms. Turner!"

The two were taken into a black van just outside the house. "Let me go! Let me go!" Lola was thrown into the back, and Lana, who wasn't resisting, calmly entered the van, and two of the men koined with them.

Lana was frightened, but Lola was done yet. She grabbed the driver's throat, trying to do something that would get them out of the situation.

"Lola!"

The girl was knocked out by the barrel of the gun by the front passenger. The driver wheezed and coughed.

"Come on, let's go." Said the front passenger.

The van pulled away. Lana held Lola away from the hands of these mad men. "Why are you doing this?'

"Someone wants to see you."

March 16th, 2024

"Again!" The voice on the speaker came.

Lola, in her plain white jumpsuit, raced around in a circle. Lana was on standby, leaning against the wall.

"Halt!"

Lola stopped. "Was I faster that time?!" She looked at the camera in the room.

"Negatory. You're still 284mph. You can be faster. Both of you. Now its Lana's turn."

Lola took her twin's place. Lana, in the same attire, ran at full speed. To everyone else, it looked like a cleaner, smaller tornado. Only Lola was able to see Lana running normally.

"Cease running!"

Lana cracked her knuckles upon stopping. "How'd I do?"

"Lana, you're 290mph... Interesting. Okay, testing over."

Later

The two returned to their own cell. Unlike the others here, the twins shared the same cell here. They didn't know why, until today.

Lisa Loud knocked on the glass. The twins rose from the beds, staring at this stranger, unrecognized.

"Huh? Lana, who's that?"

Lisa, surrounded by guards, opened the cell and slowly made her way in.

"Its funny how things work out. Anyways, I'm really glad you've survived my human trials."

The lisp was gone, but Lola was able to figure it out.

"Lisa?!"

Lana looked closely at the younger sister. Lisa looked pretty much the same, only taller. Her hair had grown longer, but not too much. A green shirt was visible over the lab coat she wore at the moment.

"This is your doing?!"

"Indubitably. Its nice to see you again, by the way."

"You-"

Lisa zapped Lola with a taser as she moved onto her.

"Don't try that again. Guys, I realize that you both feel trapped and helpless here, but I can go out of my way to properly accommodate you. After all, you're still my sisters. I'm looking for the others, to put them in like you."

"Why are you doing this?" Lana lifted Lola up, hair being completely messed up.

"Merely helping you. Don't even think about phasing through the glass. We've upgraded specifically for you. I'm not the bad guy here, or otherwise, you'd be in separate cells."

Lisa took steps backwards. "Remember, you're safe here. Don't try anything."

The genius and the guards circling her disappeared from view.

"Lola, are you okay?'

"I'm fine." Lola managed her way to the end of the cell. "She says the glass is vibrate-proof. How about-"

Lola disappeared through the wall, after phasing.

"Lola!" Lana touched all around the wall. "Duhh..." Lana vibrated her hand through the wall. Then, she completely went through- Only to fall on the dark grounds of the outside.

"Lana, we're free! We're free!"

"I don't- This feels too easy..."

"Let's go before they-"

The blaring alarm went off. "Too late, let's go!"

They turned in white streaks of light, instantly booking it from there.

September 3rd, 2024

"Hey, someone help me! That man stole my purse!" An elderly lady was knocked to the ground by a heavily bearded, strong arms type thief.

"Heh." He laughed, holding the magenta purse under his shoulder. He immediately turned the corner, as Lana swung her fist into his face. Lola attended to the elder.

"Are you hurt ma'am? Do you need me to take you to a hospital?" The elder brushed her away.

"Its not even Halloween, girlie."

Lana returned with the woman's purse. "Here you are, ma'am. Hey, let's go, twin."

A small crowd of bystanders gathered around them.

"I'll take this one." Lana sped off with the thief, as Lola found herself in the middle of the circle.

"Its them! Its the speedsters from the news!"

Applause broke out.

"You guys are heroes!"

"Excuse me, but they're girls! You blind, idiot?"

Lola let out a giggle of appreciation. "Why, thank you all. If you'll excuse me-"

"Why are we applauding them? For all we know, this could a be a ploy. Teenage heroes?" Vince Ventura broke through the crowd. "I don't think you understand the severity of this. Sure, we'll praise these girls now, but they're freaks. Are you even human?"

Lola stuttered.

"Come on, they just stopped a-"

"A mugging? A small crime, when there's so much worse to be solved. What next, little girl? You gonna pick the trash from the highways? This girl's no hero. Just a freak, playing with godly power. You don't deserve this. A dead soldier has more value than you."

"Yeah, he's right!"

"This guy has a point. She ain't doing big. What good are you?"

"Boo!"

"Just a girl, just a girl!"

Lola sped off, hurt.

Later

"Geez, Lola. Please stop crying."

"It hurts so much because its true. We really are nothing."

"Not true. We've gone around doing a lot of good, public deeds." Lana held a Hot Pocket in her hands, sitting under a tree.

"Are we really heroes, or just underserving of what Lisa gave us?"

"We didn't ask for this, but what can we do? We're us, no matter what others say. Its us versus them if it comes to it. I don't think everyone thinks the same way."

Lana flung the Hot Pocket into the air, and zoomed to and from somewhere, holding a newspaper. She set it on Lola's feet and caught her lunch before it fell on the grass.

Momentum and Velocity Prevail Again! Mysterious Speed Twins Foil Bank Robbery!

The undeniable picture of five men whom they stopped were detained for the pic.

"Doesn't sound like they're calling out for our blood. They gave us names, too! Condenames. Don't tell us we're not the good guys."

"Momentum and Velocity, huh? Tacky as shit. What are we really doing? I want more than this, Lana..."

"We both do, Lola. We both do."

"We didn't do anything... Am I a good person?"

"You are, Lola. Don't go there. I love you, you know."

"I love you too..."

May 13th, 2026- One Hour Before The Clone War

"I win this time!" Lola cheered.

Lana had actually allowed her to, slowing down right before the sand, which was the finish mark of their race.

"You got lucky!"

"Just like the pageants, I'm number one!"

"I'd do a rematch, but I'm tired."

Lola laughed. "Alright, what now?"

"Race you to Grand Venture State Park? I've not been there in over a decade."

And the race was on.

AN: HNNNNNG, the block of a writer has nearly gotten me. Fortunately, the last three have bigger things to reveal. And that won't be hard at all. With that said, Decade One is nearing its end.
