Chapter Synopsis: Lana assures Lola that someone cares about her


The next day arrives. The twins wake up and go about their usual routine, but as Lola passes by a mirror, she glances at it and sees herself. But now, her hair is brown, her eyes turn from bright blue to rage-filled red. The eyes are also beady instead of cartoonish. Her dress turns from pink to light green with a yellow sash. The mirror gives an evil grimace at Lola as it holds up a bloodstained knife, coated with ashen grey dust.

"Hey Lola, are you ok?"

"I am a hideous monster."

"Lols?"

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

"Don't beat yourself up about it. There's nothing you could have done."


The phone rings. Lola answers it.

"Hello?"

"Yeah, this is the morgue. We have 3 bodies for you, what do you want to do with them?"

"Bury the man and girl, donate the boy to science."

"Are you sure, lady?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Alright, we'll let you take care of the other 2."

"Ok."

"Bye."

The phone disconnects.

"Who was that?"

"The morgue, they want me to bury my family."

"Well, if you need help with the arrangements, you could call her."

"No, I can handle it myself."

"Alright, if you need any help you can just tell me."

"I will, thanks."


"I miss them so much…"

"Maybe there's a way I can be with them…"

"There's a second gun in that case. MY gun…all it will take is one shot. It will feel…so…liberating, won't it?"

"Are you suggesting what I think you are?"

"I won't be able to hurt anyone ever again."

"Look, this isn't the way, sis."

"Isn't it?! I've already tried to be nice, but the same thing happened! All I do is cause sorrow to everyone around me! Both my family and friends, I hurt everyone around me!"

"But you'll just cause even more pain if you go through with it!"

"Look, I have so many things to share with you, Lols! I even made this song to try and lift your spirits!"

Lana tries to sing a song to make Lola happy once more.


Don't let the sun set, t'would cause upset

You make us happy, despite our frays

Discard your fear, and form bonds anew

Please don't let the sun set today

As you see here, our lives are teeming

Be free, as your old self died

You're not broke, and not faking

No more pain and lies

Don't let the sun set, t'would cause upset

You make us happy, despite our frays

Discard your fear, and form bonds anew

Please don't let the sun set today

We all love you, can't you see

You've had your penance, and came clean

Happiness from your sisters and brother

Time to make up, so you deem

Don't let the sun set, t'would cause upset

You make us happy, despite our frays

Discard your fear, and form bonds anew

Please don't let the sun set today

We'll always love you, you know it's true

Don't let this be a false claim

You still have us, all the others

Continue to live and stay

Don't let the sun set, t'would cause upset

You make us happy, despite our frays

Discard your fear, and form bonds anew

Please don't let the sun set today


Lana finishes singing that beautiful song. Lola is on the verge of crying. She can't hold back anymore. She rushes into her sisters' arms and sobs profusely on her chest as Lana strokes her twin sister's hair affectionately.

"I've been such a fool!"

"Shh, it's alright, let it all out, sis."

Lola finishes crying.

"You're right, Lana. I need to move past this. I need to get my determination back.

"That's my sis."

"Lola…I just…don't want to lose you."

She hugs her sister tighter.

"Don't worry."

"I'll always be there to protect you."

"It's time."


Author's Note: The song that Lana sings is a parody cover of "You Are My Sunshine".

Originally, a traveling artist would have stopped by Lana's house asking for Lola, claiming he wants her to be his muse for his next artwork. Lola would have responded to him and, to prove he isn't lying, would draw a logo. Unfortunately for Lola, it would have been the insignia for L.O.L.A! Yes, she would have to face the second-in-command of the group, AnimeDrawer8, also known as the Mad Artist! He would have brought a group of Lola Loud haters watching in the background. He has both E. Gadd's brush from Super Mario Sunshine and Maxwell's notebook from Scribblenauts! He can create ANYTHING to kill her with! He does toy with her by summoning mud on top of her, which she dodged. Despite having been ordered by his boss to kill ONLY Lola and to minimize civilian casualties, he ignores this and tries to summon a nuclear bomb to eradicate Lola! He only stopped because the haters didn't want to get blown up and the fact that the bomb would efface the entire state of Michigan off the face of the Earth.

He settles for summoning Walter. Walter stands for "Weaponized Armament Looking To Eradicate Readily". This model was built off the original Walter, known by their leader as the Righteous Hater! and since the original Walter is an "animeologist" (we call those people "otakus"), he has DBZ levels of power that defies all laws of physics! Lola would have to defend herself using her imagination. Eventually, their leader would come and chastise his second-in-command for ignoring the civilian protocol and would tell the haters to disperse, as well as dropping a logic bomb that causes the W.A.L.T.E.R. to self destruct. The command is that the real Walter wouldn't have killed Lola, he would only have wanted to teach her a lesson, since the Mad Artist programed the W.A.L.T.E.R. to kill, it would go against his original purpose, thus causing him to self destruct. Lana would then come out and report the group to chief Rosato after making sure her twin sister is okay.

Safe to say, this was cut out for the absolute destruction of the suspension of disbelief. This is also what caused the entire L.O.L.A mini-plot to be aborted entirely.
