Heard about how in another in a long case of Nickelodeon not taking care of their kid actors Wolfgang Schaeffer in A Loud House Christmas and Really Loud House had gone at least a bit balding from the dye and had the kid wearing a diaper for an episode. Definitely more picky if I check out the show after paying for at least a month of Paramount Plus when the Knuckles spin off show from the movies comes out. Already used my free trial and watched Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Lori had a big smile on her face as she reached the halls at Royal Woods High School early in the day; "Woah Lori; did something before you got to school?" Bobby asked as he was surprised along with Lori's friend/friendly one-sided rival Carol Pingrey. They knew that Lori hadn't been in the best of moods first thing arriving in the school ever since moving in with her future stepfather and his daughters.
"I found Lincoln trying to sneak out without being noticed dressed like he was cosplaying as the Fonz or that guy from Grease. Turns out he was wanting to talk to and make a good first impression to this new girl in his class on the bus and I completely understood because who knows what would have happened if the other girls found out. I got him to change back, told him to just be himself and managed to get him to the bus without the others noticing. I got the text from him saying that it went great!" Lori said with glee with them smiling.
"What? Lincoln wanted to impress a girl and you kept this from us? We could have totes helped him Lori!" Leni said in shock as she heard nearby with her friends and there was Luna and Luan also nearby with their own friends. "Come on Lori; we are all girls and we could have worked together to show Linky the best way to impress a girl! The poor boy probably doesn't know what to do..." Leni said as Lori scoffed.
"You think that if I didn't trust you to mess with his friendship with Ronnie Anne that I would trust you not to mess this up? You two get involved and the girl would probably never want to speak to him again for the rest of their time in school!" Lori retorted as as she started walking off to her class in a huff.
It was the end of the school day and Lori squealed to Bobby that Lincoln was invited by the girl Stella to go laser tag together. Carol asked her if she was going to pick him up afterwards so that she could pester him for the details; "Perhaps a little; I could afford to tease him a little considering all the work I have done in making sure that house with the girls doesn't eat us both alive!" Lori had responded as Leni, Luan and Luna were together watching from the distance.
"I think I just noticed; Lori has never like called us 'sisters'... Has she?" Leni said as Luan scoffed.
"Yeah I think we noticed; she sees us strangers that she has to share the house with. Didn't occur to me before just how hard she and Lincoln would have in fitting in with everything that we consider normal..." Luna muttered as Luan then handwaved it.
"We will show her; let's go to that laser tag place and help Lincoln out in the best way! She is going to see that she misjudged us as we help our new brother out!" Luan said grinning and Luna thought that this could go wrong.
Later Lori was driving to the laser tag place excited to hear how it went but saw the door to the place with the manager angrily tossing Lori, Luan and Luan out with him shouting that they were banned until further notice. "They didn't..." Lori thinking with a glare and then saying that she doesn't think that she can be held accountable or responsible for her future actions.
Lincoln looking apologetic stepped out along with Stella; he kept apologising but Stella said "it's okay Lincoln; your stepsisters are certainly... I hope we can hang out again soon..."
Seeing that this was fixable Lori stepped in saying "You must be Stella; I'm Lori and I'm Lincoln's sister. I hope these 3 didn't cause too much trouble!"
"Sorry Lori; Leni wanted to show Lincoln the best fashion to impress, Luan wanted Lincoln to impress Stella with some gags and I wanted to keep watch but I thought some music would help... Things kind of spiralled..." Luna explained as Lori glared and noticed a piece of paper that Luna was handed by the manager before being thrown out.
Lori took it and her mouth was wide open seeing that it was a bill for damaged equipment; "You broke how many blasters... A monkey? Broken soda machine with the drinks all spilt... I am so looking forward to hearing you explain this to Mum after I give this to her!" Lori said and then went to Lincoln and Stella. "How about I drive you home Stella? It can give you two a chance to patch over any unpleasantries that happened tonight?" Lori asked.
"Oh that's okay; I had a great time before..." Stella tried to say but decided to go along with it.
"Going to be awkward when we are both in our rooms when we get home..." Leni muttered watching Lori drive off with Luna sighing sadly and Luan grunting about how Lori having it in for their family and has been a grouch since she and Lincoln moved in.
Luna noticed a blonde shocked man in a business suit holding a suitcase; "Sorry pal; just some issues with our stepsiblings!" Luna told the guy as she left with her sisters trying to think of how they can smooth things over with Lincoln and Lori now; plus deal with whatever Rita says when she gets that bill and told the story because no way is Lori going to be quiet about this incident.
The man raised an eyebrow as he watched them leave and took out his phone; "Hey Larry; I served those papers to that coffee shop and I was going to my car when I spotted Lori and Lincoln... You are sitting down and not drinking anything yet?" Leon Lyman spoke to his triplet brother as well as partner in their law firm.
