"In conclusion, in my family, every day is a challenge. But you can be sure that when I need them, my sisters will always be there for me. All of them." -Lincoln Loud, May 5, 2016

Chapter Synopsis: Lola spends the day at her sister Lana's place


Lola tags along with her sister and they head to her place together. After passing by several houses, they arrive at hers.

"Well, here we are. 4264 Tenderheart Avenue." Lana chipperly stated "I insist that you go ahead of me and scout out the place."

Lola does so. It looks like a modest home.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, it's very beautiful."

"Well, if you want, you can sleep with me. Um…Lexx, you don't mind sleeping on the couch, do you?"

"…not at all…"

The two sisters go to bed and go to sleep.

The next day…


"So, since you're rooming with me. You need to help out, somehow."

"I think I'm too emotionally distraught to go back to work."

"You don't need to do that, just…do some chores around the house. We both have seen that SpongeBob episode where Squidward freeloads off of SpongeBob after he got fired. We don't want a similar situation to happen. Huh, there are quite a few parallels between us and them, don't you think?

Lana continues her explanation.

"You're like Squidward. The sardonic, cynical type with an unstable temper. Whereas I'm like Spongebob. Happy, carefree and a little bit naïve."

"Ok, I'll help out around here."

"Thanks sis. Oh, by the way…you've been wearing that dress since last night, maybe you should borrow one of my outfits."

"NO. WAY."

"Alright, if you really want to wear your dresses, you can go back to your house and go get them. I really don't care."

Lola tenses up as soon as her sister said "your house". Just like order 66, she can still hear her family's pained cries as they were systematically executed. She snaps out of her trauma.

"Uh, maybe I'll just use one of yours."

"Great."

Lana shows Lola her closet, which has a few assorted outfits. Mostly, it's copies of her iconic outfit. 20 of them to be exact.

"I'll let you choose one."

Lola picks one of the 20 copies and goes to the bathroom to change. A few moments later, she comes out, looking exactly like Lana.

"Wow, you look amazing in my outfit! You should wear it more often."

"Thanks sis."

Lana's watch beeps.

"Oh, sorry Lols. I have to go to work. Can you help Lexx watch Landon?"

"Sure."

"Ok, I trust you sis."

Lana leaves.


"WOOHOO!"

Lola tries to find the source of elation. It was from Lexx. He appears to be cheering about a message he got on his computer.

"What's going on, Lexx?"

"I finally got an acting role that doesn't suck! It's a minor character in "Stellar Odyssey: The Last Try"!"

"So?"

"You don't understand. This role pays out 1/64th of what Harrison Ford got when he played Han Solo in "The Force Awakens"! That's $390,625 dollars just for playing a minor character! Although, said character is popular with the fans, so that's probably why the payout is so high."

"That sounds amazing!"

"Yeah, I can finally help Lana out. I had to act in a bunch of Japanese commercials and shoddy B-movies, but this role made all of that suffering worth it. I'm sorry to force this on you, but can you watch Landon by yourself? I have to practice for this!"

"Sure."

"Thanks, I owe you one."

Lexx leaves to practice his craft while Lola does some chores Lana wanted her to do.


8 hours later…

"Hey, I'm back from the vet's. Is everyone alright?"

"Yes, everyone's all right."

"I got a decent role for my acting career."

"Great job, Lexie."

"Lexie?!"

"Yeah, Lols. It's a nickname I gave him. He doesn't seem to mind that much when I call him that."

A spry 12-year-old boy approaches Lana.

"Oh, Landon. Did you have a great time with aunt Lola?"

"Yeah, she was great!"

"So, I have a question for you, Lans."

"What is it?"

"Why did you marry Lexx? Didn't you have a crush on Skippy?"

"Yeah, about that…well, we hung out a lot, but we found it better to remain friends. We came to a mutual conclusion, but we still talk to each other occasionally."

"Oh, I see."

"I had the opportunity to ask Lana out several times, but two things held me back. One, you already married my brother, so it would have been awkward if we both married our opposite counterparts. Second, Lana intimidates me. After all, she's better than me at nearly everything. But SHE asked ME out, and of course I said "yes"".

"I remember, you found my certificate."

Lana goes to a closet and shows it off.

"Oh, that's your finishing school diploma. I thought you'd be ashamed of that thing. Especially since it says "Cum Quod Summa Honoris"."

"With the highest honor."

"So, you mean to tell me that you were the best in that class? I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either, and I'm the one who took the class."

"I guess I picked up a few tips off of you."

"But you're right, I am still ashamed of it. I prefer to get down and dirty, rather than being prim and proper."


Lana leaves and picks up a crossword.

"Ah, sometimes I fill out these crosswords for fun. It keeps my brain active."

1 across: The Crossword King (2 words)

"Easy. "Matt Gaffney"."

1 down: Italian for "sea"

"Mare."

1 crossword later…

"Ah, that one was actually kind of hard."

"You know, I never said this to you, but I really enjoy your company."

"Really?"

"Yeah, remember when we became Bluebells together?"

"That was one of the best days of my life."

"Mine too."

The pair goes to sleep and prepares for the next day…

"Hey Lola, are you ok?"

"I am a hideous monster."

"Lols?"

"This all happened because of me. This is my fault…"


Author's Note: The film that Lexx got an acting role in, "Stellar Odyssey: The Last Try" is supposed to be a sequel, and a reference to the Amazing World of Gumball, where the film the Wattersons were trying to watch was called "Stellar Odyssey: The Force Rehashed". And both films are a reference to Star Wars. Specifically, "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi", respectively.

Lexx originally worked as a librarian's assistant before Lana got her veterinary license. People who went there referred to him while he was working there by the affectionate (or derogatory) nickname, "Lexicon". This job was only temporary until Lana became a veterinarian. Lexx actually wanted to continue this job to help her out, but Lana assured him she can take care of them, thus giving him the time to hone his craft for his dream job, becoming an actor!
