A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter seventeen of this story. Here, Brandon meets Rita and Lynn Sr. plus Lori gets a phone call.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House

A gathering was underway at 1216 Franklin Avenue. Luan, Lori, Leni, Lynn Jr., Lincoln, Lucy and Lisa where in the bedroom the child prodigy shared with the youngest Loud resident. Luan was seated sniveling and sobbing as Lisa exclaimed her. The others where speechless by the fact Luna got this violent with her sister. In her crib, even Lily knew something was amiss.

"I can't believe Luna did this." said Lincoln amazed.

"Neither can I." admitted Luan sadly.

"Luan, please remain still so I may perform my tests." requested Lisa.

"Luna was totes crazy." said Leni.

"I can beat some sense into her." offered Lynn.

"That would literally make things worse." noted Lori.

"Fine." sighed Lynn.

Lynn folded her arms.

"Can we at least tell mom and dad?" asked Lynn.

"It would be our word against hers." answers Lucy.

"This sucks!" declared Lynn.

The others all agreed with this.

"Lynn, watch your language with Lily here." warned Lori.

"Sorry." replied Lynn.

"So...what do we do?" asked Lincoln.

Lori sadly shook her head.

"I'm afraid there's not much we can do." answered Lori.

"Dang it." sighed Lincoln.

"Siblings, I have concluded my tests." announced Lisa.

"How is she?" asked Lincoln worried.

"She has soreness, but luckily that is the extent of her injuries." answered Lisa.

The group let out a sigh of relief.

"Luan, you are indeed quite lucky." said Lisa.

"I wish it never came to this." said Luan sadly.

"I am afraid that I cannot help you with." replied Lisa.

Suddenly, a knock on came on the door.

"How could that be?" asked Leni.

The door opened revealing the twins.

"What do you want?" asked Lucy.

The twins yelped at this.

"Don't do that!" demanded Lola.

"Sorry." replied Lucy.

"What are you doing?" asked Lana suspicious.

"I tripped and Lisa was making sure my teeth where okay." answered Luan.

"And we wanted make sure she's okay." added Lynn.

The two scanned the room.

"I thought we where here..." began Leni.

"Hey Leni, what do you think of these shorts?" asked Lori.

"They're totes cute on you." answered Leni.

"Whatever." shrugged Lana.

"That was close." thought Lori relieved.

"We wanted to tell you Luna's boyfriend is gonna have dinner with us tomorrow." revealed Lana.

The Loud siblings in the know felt their hearts collectively skip a beat.

"I thought Luna was dating Sam." noted Lola confused.

"She left Sam for Brandon." said Lori.

"So you knew and didn't tell us!" exclaimed Lana.

"Sorry. I was literally busy." said Lori.

"I can't believe he's coming here." said Lynn angrily.

"Is something wrong with him?" asked Lola.

"He's...not a nice person." answered Lincoln.

"The why is Luna dating him?" asked Lana confused.

"Luna loves him and this has blinded her." answered Lori.

The twins seemed to understand and accepted this. The rest of the day passed and there was some relief Luan was not hurt. The next day came and the siblings where dreading. Finally, a knock on the door came. Rita answered and there was Brandon. The siblings did their best not to punch him right there.

"Ah, you must be one of Luna's sisters" said Brandon.

"Oh I'm her mom Rita." said Rita.

Introductions where carried out and everyone sat down for Lynn-sagna.

"This is delicious." said Brandon.

"Thanks." replied Lynn Sr.

"So Brandon, tell us about yourself." requested Rita.

"I came from a big family and loved music just like Luna." said Brandon.

"And drinking beer." muttered Luan.

"Luan..." said Rita warning.

"Luna warned me about this." admitted Brandon.

"But, it won't be a problem." added Luna threatening.

"We do need to talk about that." noted Lynn Sr.

"Fair." replied Brandon.

"Have you forced Luna to drink alcohol?" asked Rita.

"No." answered Brandon.

"have you forced Luna to do drugs?" asked Lynn Sr.

"No." answered Brandon.

The siblings muttered among themselves angrily.

"I promise I have never forced Luna to do anything against her will." said Brandon.

"It's true!" declared Luna.

Lynn Sr. and Rita shared a glance.

"We have no way to disprove this." noted Rita.

"Exactly!" declared Luna.

"Well, I can understand wanting to protect your daughter." said Brandon.

"Good to hear." said Lynn Sr.

"Luna, you have great parents." said Brandon.

"Well, I don't know. Brandon seems like a good guy to me." shrugged Lynn Sr.

"Dad you like anyone who sucked up to him about his food." whispered Lynn Jr.

Lynn Jr. chuckled at this.

"Junior..." said Lynn Sr. sternly.

Lynn Jr. stopped her chuckling.

"Sorry dad." muttered Lynn Jr.

In the other room; Lincoln, Lucy and Lisa where worried.

"That Brandon seems nice." said Lola.

"Based on the facts, I assume it is a facade." replied Lisa.

"What?" asked Lana.

"He's pretending to be nice." answered Lisa.

"Will Luna be okay?" asked Lucy.

"I hope so." answered Lincoln.

Back in the dinning room, the conversation was continuing.

"Brandon, you do seem like a good person..." began Rita.

Luna was pleased by this.

"But, I want to make absolutely certain our daughter is safe." added Rita.

"Oh yes. Me too." agreed Lynn Sr.

"Perfectly understandable." replied Brandon.

"Brandon is great." said Luna.

Aside form her one sentence earlier, Luan had been silent. However, her rage was boiling over.

"Brandon..." began Rita.

"I only have Luna's best intention at heart." stated Brandon.

"Bullshit!" cried Luan.

"Watch your language!" ordered Lynn Sr.

"I've have enough of him lying!" declared Luan.

"About time somebody said it." sighed Lynn Jr.

"Don't badmouth Brandon!" snapped Luna.

"Luna, he's not a good person." said Lori.

"You don't know him!" cried Luna.

"I'm a nice guy once you get to know me." added Brandon.

"I've heard enough lies coming from your mouth!" snapped Luan.

Brandon quietly shrugged his head.

"Luna, Brandon is totes not good. He's got you drinking beer and doing drugs." said Leni.

"You're brain is too small to understand anything." replied Luna coldly.

Leni visibly winced at this.

"Luna Loud! Apologize to your sister right now!" ordered Rita.

"Sorry." said Luna flatly.

Lori put her hand on Luna's shoulder.

"You know she doesn't mean that." whispered Lori.

"Look, I don't need your garbage!" exclaimed Luna.

Luna got up and marched to the front door.

Brandon and I love each other!" continued Luna outraged.

Luna flung the door open and marched out.

"Like it or not!" cried Luna.

Luna slammed the door shut.

"I'll go check on her." said Brandon.

Brandon got up and went after Luna.

"What do you think?" asked Rita.

"If he's manipulative, then he's really good." answered Lynn Sr.

Brandon went outside. He found Luna pacing back and forth on the front lawn. She was angrily grumbling to herself. Brandon took a moment then walked over to her. Luna was walking from the fence on their right to the fence separating their house from Mr. Grouse. As he did, said neighbor popped his head out the window.

"Loud! You're gonna wear a trench in your yard!" cried Mr. Grouse.

Luna flipped the elderly man off.

"Fuck off old man!" snapped Luna.

"Fine. Doesn't matter to me." replied Mr. Grouse surprised.

Mr. Grouse shut the window.

"Old piece of shit." spat Luna.

Brandon reached her.

"How are you?" asked Brandon.

"Pissed off." answered Luna.

"Yeah. I notice." replied Brandon.

"I can snort my blow because my stupid sister Luan stole it." said Luna angrily.

"I can give you booze." suggested Brandon.

"Too many witnesses." said Luna.

"Smart girl." whispered Brandon.

Luna's cheeks became rosy at this compliment.

"I know what'll make you feel better." said Brandon.

Brandon went to his car and returned with something in his hand.

"This is for you." said Brandon.

Brandon gave Luna a smartphone.

"But, I already have a phone." noted Luna.

"This is a newer model. Plus, it's a gift from me." countered Brandon

Luna took the phone and held it close to her heart.

"Thanks." said Luna.

The two shared a passionate kiss.

"I've got her right where I want her." thought Brandon confidently.

Back inside, dinner had ended in a disaster. Lola and Lana inquired about what was going. Their parents and other siblings tried to placate them which worked eventually. Lily also knew something was wrong, but couldn't verbalize it. Lori helped and went to her room. After a while, her phone rang and Lori answered it.

"Hello." said Lori.

("Hey Lori.") said Sam.

"Let me guess, you're trying to find out what happened." said Lori.

("Pretty much.") confirmed Sam.

"Brandon was lying and when we called him out Luna stormed off." said Lori.

("I should have figured.") sighed Sam.

"Mom doesn't trust him." revealed Lori.

("What about your dad?") asked Sam.

"He's more unsure." answered Lori.

("Damn.") replied Sam.

"Yeah. It sucks." agreed Lori.

("I thought you found her...vial.") noted Sam.

"She denied it and we could pin it on her." said Lori.

("Of course. I should have expected.") said Sam.

Sam thought for a moment.

("Lori, came to my house tomorrow.") requested Sam.

"Why?" asked Lori.

("I've got your proof.") answered Sam.

A/N: That is where we'll end things for now. So the dinner was a bust, but Luna got a new gift. Next time, Lori visits Sam and the results are huge. Please review.
