A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter eighteen of this story. Here, Lori briefly meets with Sam which has huge consequences.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
Vanzilla pulled up to its destination and stopped. Lori parked the van, exited it and locked it. Lori walked to the Sharp residence and Simon answered. He called Sam who brought Lori to her room.
"What happened exactly?" asked Sam.
"I pretty much told you the whole story." answered Lori.
"I'm worried." replied Sam concerned.
"So am I." agreed Lori.
"Sam, you said you have proof." noted Lori.
Sam shook her head.
"Oh yeah." said Sam.
Sam quickly got ready.
"This is it." said Sam.
Sam showed Lori the evidence.
"That's it." said Sam.
"Whoa!" exclaimed Lori.
"Yup. This might help." said Sam.
"It definitely will." agreed Lori.
"Cool." sighed Sam.
"You've been a big help." said Lori.
"Thanks." replied Sam.
"Is there anything else I can do?" asked Sam.
"You've been a huge help." answered Lori.
The two shared a hug.
"Please do me one favor." requested Sam.
"What?" asked Lori.
"Save her." answered Sam.
Lori left and hopped into Vanzilla. She drove home as fast as she could without risking being pulled over. She arrived and found her parents weren't home. Neither was Luna. Lori rounded up all of her siblings (minus the twins and Lily) bringing them to her room. Shen then presented the evidence Sam gave her.
"Well, that'll prove it all right." said Lynn Jr.
"How do you think Luna will react?" asked Lincoln worried.
"Bad." answered Leni.
"She's likely to fly off the deep end." stated Lucy.
"What do we do?" asked Lynn.
"Keep her calm." answered Lincoln.
"I fear that is easier said than done." noted Lisa.
"We have to." said Luan.
"Well, we'll find a way." stated Lori.
"How will we do it?" asked Luan.
"When Mom and Dad return, I'll show them." answered Lori.
"What about Luna?" asked Leni worried.
"Mom and dad will believe us so that should help." answered Lori.
Lori dug her fingernails into skin.
"No, you have to be strong for your siblings." thought Lori.
Lori shook her head.
"Okay, Lincoln you need to be a butler for Lola's tea party." began Lori.
"Gotcha." replied Lincoln.
"Lynn, can you and Lana do something?" asked Lori.
"I'll help her with her wrestling moves." answered Lynn.
"Leni, I want you to play with Lily." concluded Lori.
"Gotcha!" cried Leni.
"What do we do?" asked Lucy.
"Luan, Lisa, Lucy and I will be downstairs dealing with Luna." answered Lori.
"This has to work." thought Luan worried.
The wait was killer for the Loud children. Finally, their parents returned and Lori told them she needed to talk once Luna got home. Rita and Lynn Sr. agreed. Luna finally came back from hanging out with Brandon. She was twitching a bit, but doing her best to hide it. Lincoln told Lola he would be a butler for her and the princess accepted. Lana agreed to learn wrestling moves from Lynn Jr. Leni went to play with Lily. Lisa, Lucy and Luan went downstairs. Lori was right behind them.
"Oh hell no" declared Luna.
"Luna, if you want us to believe you then you need to stay here." stated Rita.
Luna crossed arm arms and grumbled.
"Please come her." requested Lori.
Her parents and Luna followed Lori to the computer.
"Give me a second." requested Lori.
Lori went online and typed in the search bar.
"What is she doing?" asked Luna to herself.
Lori hit enter and moved her mouse to the first result.
"Oh shit." gasped Luna softly.
Lori clicked play and video of Luna and her former band mates playing at the college frat party began playing.
"Remember the gig she had a while ago?" asked Lori.
"After her long gap without any." added Lucy.
Lynn Sr. faced Luna.
"Luna, you told us you went to a birthday party." noted Lynn Sr. hurt.
"She was supposed to, but convinced me to take it so she could go there." explained Luan.
Luna gave Luan an angry glare.
"Luna, you can't intimidate me into staying silent." stated Luna.
Luna bit her lower lip.
"Luan, you knew she went to a frat party?!" asked Rita outraged.
"She convinced me to stay quiet. I never should have." answered Luan regretfully.
Rita sighed knowing her daughter she made a mistake.
The video finally ended.
"Oh My God." gasped Lynn Sr. horrified.
The parents turned to face Luna.
"Luna, what do you have to say?" asked Rita firmly.
"Okay, I went to a frat party." answered Luna.
"Luna Loud..." began Rita.
"I only did because I had no choice!" declared Luna.
"You had a birthday gig." noted Lynn Sr.
"That was small peanuts!" declared Luna.
Luna twitched.
"Interesting." thought Lisa.
"Besides, this gig had The Michigan Dogmen showing up!" cried Luna.
"I thought that Brandon boy was a bad influence." mused Rita.
"What the hell mom?!" asked Luna.
"Watch you tone." warned Rita.
Luna sputtered momentarily.
"Dad!" cried Luna hopefully.
"This tears it Luna! You should know better than lying to us!" snapped Luna.
"Fuck this!" cried Luna.
"Watch your language!" demanded Rita.
"Make me." spat Luna.
Lynn Sr. nearly passed out.
"Luna Loud. You are treading on think ice." said Rita sternly.
Lisa waddled to the kitchen and grabbed a napkin.
"Luna, please calm down." requested Luan.
"This is your fault!" cried Luna.
Luna began a nosebleed when Lisa returned.
"Luna, please bend over." requested Lisa.
Luna bent over.
"What do you want?" asked Luna coldly.
Lisa used the napkin to get the blood coming form her nose.
"I will return." said Lisa.
"You little!" cried Luna.
Lori desperately struggled to restrain Luna.
"We're worried about you!" cried Lori.
"I don't need you butting into my life!" cried Luna.
Luna broke free.
"Honey, we're worried about your well being." said Rita.
"You've been acting weird lately." added Lynn Sr.
"I have returned!" declared Lisa.
Lisa walked down the stairs with a sheet of paper.
"As you can see, Luna's blood has a .9 blood alcohol content and tested positive for cocaine." revealed Lisa.
Her parents looked at the paper which confirmed this.
"That's it! Luna, you are grounded indefinitely!" declared Rita.
"No music. No friends. No phones. No games. No phone. No Brandon." agreed Lynn Sr.
Rita held her hand out.
"Hand your phone over." ordered Rita.
Luna reluctantly handed her phone over.
"You can't keep me from Brandon!" declared Luna.
"Yes we can." said Lynn Sr. firmly.
Luna began shaking violently.
"Luna, Brandon is not a good person." said Luan.
Luna turned to her sister.
"This is your fault! When mom was pregnant with you she should have had a miscarriage!" screamed Luna.
Luna stormed off while Lori comforted Luan.
"It's okay Luan." whispered Lori.
Luna stormed upstairs. She went to her room and began to rid it of all of Luan's things. Her jester chair, tapes props where flung into the hallway. Finally, Mr. Coconuts was throw against the wall. Luckily, the ventriloquist dummy was okay. Luan grabbed her things and would move into Lori and Leni's room for the time being. Luna crawled up the bunk bed and threw herself in her bed. She laid down until she remembered her gift. Luna pulled the smartphone Brandon gave her from her under pillow and called him.
("Hello Luna.") said Brandon.
"It's nice to hear your voice." said Luna softly.
("Why are you talking so softly?") asked Brandon.
"My siblings got to my parents." answered Luna.
("That sucks.") replied Brandon.
"They took my phone and are treating me like a fucking prisoner." said Luna angrily.
("I'm sorry to hear that.") said Brandon.
"Worse part is they won't let me see you." revealed Luna.
("Shit!") cried Brandon.
"You're telling me." sighed Luna.
("Is there any way to change their minds?") asked Brandon.
"My sister Lisa gave them some rigged crap saying I had booze and blow in my blood." answered Luna.
("I could talk to them.") offered Brandon.
"My folks think you're a "bad influence" on me." said Luna.
("Your siblings suck.") said Brandon.
"Especially my shit sister Luan." agreed Luna.
("Why am I not surprised.") muttered Brandon.
"I told her mom should have had a miscarriage with her." said Luna.
Luna bit her lip feeling guilty.
"Maybe I shouldn't have said that." mumbled Luna.
Luna suddenly noticed Brandon was laughing.
("Nice one!") laughed Brandon.
"Thanks." said Luna.
Luna felt her guilt disappear.
("I can't be without you.") said Brandon.
"Neither can I." said Luna.
("Can you sneak out?") asked Brandon.
Luna thought for a moment.
"Hell yes." answered Luna.
("Great to hear.") replied Brandon.
"I'd kill to get out of her." stated Luna.
("Sounds like it.") agreed Brandon.
"Brandon..." began Luna.
("What is it?") asked Brandon.
"I'd do anything for you." answered Luna.
Brandon began to grin like a Cheshire Cat.
("I'm happy to hear that.") said Brandon.
A/N: That is where we'll end this chapter. So, Luna wasn't able to hid all the evidence and now she's been busted. However, she seems determined to be with Brandon come hell or high water. Next time, the Loud parents talk about what to do and Luna sneaks out to see Brandon. Please review.
