"This world is but a canvas to our imagination."-Henry David Thoreau

Chapter Synopsis: Leif hangs out with Lola, but how will they deal with the chaos of 10 siblings?


"It has been a week ever since I hung out with Leif and trounced him in the competition 23-12. I had to admit, it was pretty fun, playing that game alongside him. No wonder he says it's a classic, everyone loves it. I even heard that this game is so awesome, that it even has gaming tournaments dedicated to it. But Leif said that "filthy casuals" aren't allowed in competitive play. Hearing that some diehard fans act like this when they're "in the zone", as he says, we decide to just keep playing for fun. Either way, I went to his house for a play date. Now it's time for him to visit mine."

Scene transition to Lola and Lana's room.

"So, it's time for Leif to hang out with you. Right, sis?" Lana asked me

"Yep. Everything's already set up. We both convinced our parents to have him hang out with me here. It should be amazing, since it's Saturday, so we don't have to worry about homework."

"You told our siblings about this, right Lols?"

"…"

"Oh boy, today is going to be interesting."


A knock is heard at the door.

"I'll get it!" I shout, as I head down to the first floor. Unfortunately for me, a certain other sister answered it before I could.

Leni opens the door and sees Leif and Lexx standing in the doorway.

"Hello, is Lo- "

Leni interrupts him to say something only Leni would say.

"Lola, Lana, did you two get a haircut?"

Both of them look dumbfounded at her statement. I get in between them and break their silence.

"No, Leni. This is Leif and Lexx, they're the new neighbor's kids. I invited Leif…

Lexx interrupts me.

"…And I invited myself. I can't let the princess hurt my little bro, can I?"

"Right, but you don't have to worry about that, Lexx. We're just going to have some fun in my room."

He scoffs at me.

"In YOUR room?"

"Well, where else would we hang out?"

"How about the living room, backyard, front yard or dining room?"

"Because the things I want to do only need 2 people, not 12."

"Lame excuse, but I really don't care anymore."

"Good, because I can handle myself." Leif interjected

Lexx hangs around the living room. Leni heads upstairs and heads left, while I escort Leif to the room Lana and I share. I lead him to the play table in my room. We both sit across from each other.


"Today, I invited you over for a tea party, isn't that great?"

"Is this it?" he replied unenthused.

"Just give it a try and maybe you'll like it." I reassured him

"Ok."

I pour some tea for him and myself.

"Sugar?"

"2"

I pour 2 sugar cubes into his teacup and slide it over to him. He drinks it.

"Hey, this is actually pretty good."

"Really? Thanks!"

Suddenly, a voice shouts out…!

"Lisa, I think your deoxyribonucleic-acid duplication device malfunctioned! There are 2 Lolas and 2 Lanas!"

"How come you can say "Deoxyribonucleic" and not understand simple English?"

"That's not the point! You're the only one who can merge Lola into one being!"

Lisa and Leni enter my room…

"Where is the double, bratty sibling?" Lisa postulated

I scoff at her.

"First, I'm not bratty, I'm sassy!"

"No, you aren't." Lisa countered

"And second, your machine didn't malfunction, none of us know how to use it!"

"True, so then, who is that?" Lisa said, pointing to Leif

"That's Leif, he's one of our new neighbor's kids. I invited him to hang out with me."

Lisa turns to Leni.

"You dim bulb! Why did you waste my time on a false alarm? Get out of my sight!"

Leni runs back to her room crying.

"Sorry you had to see that, carry on with your daytime merriment." Lisa advised as she headed back to her room

Another door is heard opening, I see Linky run by our room, no doubt to console Leni.

"Your siblings are an interesting bunch." Leif noted

"And you haven't even seen half of them yet." I reminded him "So, have you gotten bored yet?"

"Sorry to say, but yes, this is kind of boring."

"Fair enough, a tea party is not for everyone. How about this, we use our…

I make a gesture with my hands, going up, and spreading outward, like a rainbow.

"…imagination."

"Wow, you even did the SpongeBob hand gesture! Great, but what should our imaginary adventure be about?"


"I have an idea, wait here."

I managed to intercept Linky after he was done consoling Leni. He was heading back to his room before I stopped him.

"Linky, can you help me entertain my guest? I want you to draft some of the siblings to help out too." I begged him

"Sure Lola, I'll rally the siblings." He said as he went off to recruit some helpers.

I head back to our room and inform Leif what is going on.

"Ok, my brother is going to get some actors for our adventure."

Lincoln comes back with Lucy, Lynn, Luna and of course, himself.

"I got it."


I began narrating the adventure. The scene transitions to a fantasy setting.

"All was well in the kingdom of Lola-caster until darkness clouded the sky. A massive wave of death and destruction seemingly headed to the castle where the beautiful princess Lola and her loyal arch-mage Leif were. The castle was under siege by the evil lich queen, Lucy! With her undead servants and retainer. It seems a fated final battle is inevitable…

"And with that, the Lich Queen's reign of terror was put to an end. Her undead minions returned to the earth from whence they came, once she was vanquished. All of the heroes were able to recover from the battle afterwards. The knight left for parts unknown and the kingdom of Lola-caster, as well as the entire world was safe."

"Wow, that was incredibly fun, thanks Lola!"

"Don't thank me, thank Lincoln and the rest of our sisters."

"Well, thanks Lincoln and others. I thought this was just going to be a boring old tea party, but I'm glad I was wrong. Well, we had better go back home."

"And with that, Leif and Lexx went back to their house. We both enjoyed our time together. But now, I should spend some time with my family. I'll see you soon."

"The FITNESSGRAM/PACER test is a multi-stage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20-meter PACER test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal [blip sound]. A single lap should be completed every time you hear this sound [bell dinging sound]. Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word "start". On your mark…get ready… START!"


Author's Note: In the imagination land, every enemy Lola and Leif fight are undead. A particularly cruel aspect of the undead is that when Lola or Leif kills them, they're still alive! If Lola or Leif don't use a fire based attack within 1 turn of knocking the undead enemy down, they'll revive with ALL of their HP back!

Here's a list of the attacks used in the fight:

Purity Purge: Light based attack that deals massive damage to a single enemy.
Absolute Zero: The strongest ice based attack. It deals massive damage to a single enemy. It has a 20% chance to inflict freeze.
Necross Me: Summons undead. The name is a portmanteau of the words "never cross me" and "necromancy".
Burn Away: AOE fire based attack that has a 33% chance to inflict burn.
Sacred Light: The strongest light based attack. It deals massive damage to a single enemy. It has an 80% chance to inflict petrify on undead enemies.
Brown Note: Has a 66% chance to inflict fear on an enemy.
Brutalize: A multi-hit physical attack.
Roil: Poison based attack that has a 90% chance to inflict poison.
Sacred Light: AOE magic attack that gets stronger the less total HP the party has. If a party member is knocked out, the damage gets multiplied. The highest multiplier is 4.
Poisonlett: A poison based attack that deals more damage if the enemy is poisoned. Think Venoshock from Pokémon. The name is a portmanteau of the words "poison" and "bloodletting".
Tri-Slash: A 3 hit strike. Counts as a physical attack.
Searing Storm: AOE fire based attack. Burn Away is this attack's stronger version.
Healing Wave: Heals the party based on the healer's magic stat.
Soul Strip: Has a 61% chance to instantly kill an enemy. Very powerful ghost based magic attack.
Plasma Strike: Electric based attack that has a 42% chance to inflict paralysis.
Tit-for-Tat: Lets the user counterattack after an enemy. Does not counter instant kill moves or killing blows.
Penta-Slash: A 5 hit strike. Counts as a magic attack.
Infernal Tower: Fire based attack that deals massive damage to a single target.

Note that Lola's party is at level 99 during the fight, the maximum level they can be.

Here are the bios for all the imagination land characters.

Lola: The princess of Lola-caster. She is a bit of a brat but she has a kind heart (unlike her canon counterpart) and helps defend her kingdom alongside her retainers. She knows a bit of magic that can help the party out in a pinch.

Leif: Lola-caster's archmage. He taught princess Lola how to use magic. He knows the strongest magical spells ever cast and won't hesitate to use them on anyone who dares attack his princess' realm. Unfortunately, he can't take a punch...

Lana: The leader of Lola-caster's army. She is the strongest soldier that Lola-caster has. Despite being the second-in-line for the throne, she prefers to be on the front lines, much to the dismay of the royal court. The other knights used to look down on her for being a girl (as well as the princess' twin sister, most people can barely tolerate her) but Lana has defeated all the other knights easily and now, she trains them. Nowadays, getting praise from her is pretty much bragging rights for any knight.

Lich Queen (Lucy): A malevolent undead being that wants to turn the world into her own necropolis. Lola-caster is the only kingdom that stands between her and world domination! An adept necromancer, she can summon nearly infinite amounts of soldiers and wins battles solely through attrition.

Acrimancer (Luna): One of the Lich Queen's highest ranking soldiers. She inflicts status effects on her enemies to confound and confuse them. Her name is a portmanteau of the words "acrid" and "-mancer".

Desicctroyer (Lynn Jr): The strongest of the Lich Queen's soldiers, she prefers the "Hulk Smash" strategy and razing everything that opposes her! Her name is a portmanteau of "desiccate" and "destroyer".

Knight of Nocturne (Lincoln): The Lich Queen's retainer. He was once known as the "White Knight", a legendary hero from a far off land, until the Lich Queen tore his kingdom asunder. However, she fell in love with him and rather than smiting him, she cast a spell on him that makes him obey her every command. Now, he's known as the "Grim Reaper" with how easily he cuts through legions of soldiers with a single slice of his sword! Once the spell was broken, he wandered the Earth and faded into history as a great legend. No one knows what happened to him after the Lich Queen's demise.

And finally, here are the stats of the enemies:

Lich Queen
HP: 250,000
Type: Ghost/Poison
Known Attacks: Necross Me, Roil
Weakness: Fire, Light

Acrimancer
HP: 150,000
Type: Normal/Poison
Known Attacks: Brown Note, Poisonlett
Weakness: Fire, Light

Desicctroyer

HP: 150,000
Type: Fighting/Poison
Known Attacks: Brutalize
Weakness: Fire, Light

Night of Nocturne

HP: 500,000
Type: Steel/Dark
Known Attacks: Soul Strip, Penta-Slash
Weakness: Physical attacks, Electricity

Note that the Lich Queen can't re-summon Accrimancer or Desicctroyer once they've been burnt away However, she can summon normal undead to replace them. If by some slim chance you manage to defeat the Knight of Nocturne, the seal holding him breaks. If the Lich Queen is still alive, she'll just replace the broken seal. If she's dead, then congratulations, you freed the knight...but he has such an insanely high defense even when using his weakness. Your entire party might be wiped out before even dealing with 1/5th of his HP! Not to mention all of his attacks do insanely high damage, or are instant kills!

Luckily, this is all just in Lola's imagination.
