Yes! I finally got this done! I can't tell you how much I have been looking forward to writing and releasing this chapter. It might be my favorite chapter I have written so far, honestly. I'm not gonna say more so you guys can just get right to reading, but fair worning, things get a litte emotional near the end so, get ready for that.


Lincoln slowly started to stir from his sleep as the sunlight coming from outside leaked out the window. Letting out a loud yawn, he sat up and wiped the sleep from his eyes. As we woke up, he felt something moving on his lap.

His eyes widen when he saw some sort of black thing on his lap. Letting out a scream, he feel off his bed and landed on his butt. Rubbing his sore rear end, he heard squeaking and saw that flying up from his bed was none other than Lucy's pet bat Fangs.

Let out a sigh of relief, Lincoln smiled and stood up and patted Fang's head. "Look, I get that you like sleeping in my bed, but you gotta stop scaring me in the morning, alright?" Lincoln told the flying mammal. Oddly enough, Fangs rather approved of Lincoln's moving in and actually warmed up to the white haired Loud, sometimes preferring to go into his bed then to go with its owner.

Fangs smiled and let out a little squeaking noise before flying into the vent, most likely to go to where his owner was.

Just then, Lincoln heard the door to the room to bust open. He looked to see the surprising sight of Lori running into the room with a worried look on her face.

Before Lincoln even had time to react his oldest sister ran over to him and started looking over him, seemingly checking him for injuries. "Are you ok?!" She asked frantically. "I heard screaming!"

"A-ack! L-lori! What are you doing?" Lincoln asked as he tried moving away from his sisters repeated checkup over his body.

"I'm literally trying to make sure you're not hurt! Now hold still!" She answered as she only seemed to speed up her checkup.

"I-I'm fine!" Lincoln answered as he grabbed Lori's arms and pushed them away. "Fang's just scared me is all."

"You sure you're ok?" Lori asked in a genuine tone. This surprised Lincoln quite a bit. Lori never seemed so…caring before. Granted all of his family cared for each other but the way Lori was acting right now, he'd expect it more from sisters like Leni.

"Yeah I'm fine. Really." He said gently trying to calm down Lori. "Is everything alright?"

After this Lori's eyes widen as she stood back up and looked at Lincoln with a rather nervous smile. "Uh yeah! Everything fine. Just…wanted to make sure you'll alright. I mean you literally don't know whats going to happen with you. Especially with that on your wrist." She answered while pointing to the Omnitrix, making Lincoln raise an eye brow.

But right now, he didn't wanna dwell on what was happening. He just woke up and he still needs to get ready. "Well alright then. Thanks. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get my clothes on."

"Oh ok." Lori response with an unchanged expression.

Lincoln just gave a blank look at his sister as she stood in place. Did she seriously not take the hint? "Which means you have to leave. So I can take my PJ's off, so I can put my day cloths on." He explained in a tone that matched his expression.

Lori's eyes widen as her nervous smile widened. "O-oh right. Yeah, I, uh, guess I'll get going now." Lori said as she started to walk out of the room, rather slowly for Lincoln's taste. And right as she went out, she looked back at Lincoln and said one more thing before closing the door. "I'll be here if you need me Linky."

Lincoln dawned a confused expression after she left before going to his drawer to get one of shirts to go with his jacket. "Well that was weird." He said to the audience. But then he stopped when he quickly realized something. "Wait a second…did she just call me Linky?"


About 15 minutes later, Lincoln was down the stairs all ready for the day. All he was missing was a good breakfast in his stomach. He was just about to head into the kitchen to make some when…

"Ah Lincoln! There you are." Suddenly, for the second time today already, Lincoln was meet with Lori just speeding up in front of him. "What took you so long?"

"I-I just had to get my clothes on and brush my teeth." He explained while backing up a little. "Are you sure everything's alright you're acting really weird."

"Is it literally weird for an older sister to be worried about her younger brother?" Lori said innocently with a smile that was just too plain overly sweet.

Before Lincoln could retort, Lori grabbed him by the shoulders and moved him to a seat at the table. "Here sit down while I go make you breakfast." She said before going into the kitchen.

"Wait. Lori? Cooking? Oh no." Lincoln groaned as he already felt sick to the stomach. It was common knowledge in the Loud House that Lori's cooking…could use some improving to say the absolute least.

All Lincoln could do was watch as Lori came out of the kitchen holding a plate of bacon and eggs as well as some orange juice. "Here you go." Lori said as she set the plate and cup of juice in front of him.

Lincoln swallowed a lump in his throat and picked up the silver ware. No way out of it, maybe if he ate it fast enough he wouldn't notice.

Scooping up some eggs, he put it in his mouth…and it tasted good. Eating some more, he realized his taste buds weren't tricking him, Lori actually cooked a pretty good breakfast. "Wow, this is really good Lori."

"Thanks, I opened one of dads cook books." She said while ruffling his hair. "Only the best for you."

"Well thanks Lori I really…wait a minute." Lincoln's eyes widened as he realized something. The nervous smiles, the over sweetness, the breakfast, this only meant one thing.

"Alright what do you want?" Lincoln said in an accusing tone with his eyes narrowed at his oldest sister.

"What do you mean?" She said genuinely confused with a raised eyebrow.

"I know what's going on Lori, the smiling, the breakfast. You want something don't you?" He said while crossing his arms.

Lori let out a small gasp and held her hands to her heart, acting hurt. "Can't an older sister just be nice to her younger brother just because?" She said. Lincoln wasn't buying it and just raised an eyebrow. "I really don't want anything, honest."

Lincoln dropped his suspicious look and gained a confused one. "So…you don't want anything?" He asked with Lori shaking her head. "You're just being nice?"

"Yes."

"Well…thanks Lori." He said with a smile gaining another smile from his eldest sibling. "It means a lot."

"Anytime little bro." Lori said as she hugged her brother, which he returned. "Remember, if you need anything, you know where to find me." And with that, she left the room.

Lincoln just smiled and went back to his breakfast. "Still a little strange, but hey, still nice."


Later, Lincoln was now sitting on his bed playing his handheld video game console. So far nothing's popped up today so he's been able to relax so far. But knowing his life that probably wasn't going to last long.

Just then he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Taking it out, he saw he got a text from Wendy.

Wendy. Y: Hi Lincoln! Do you want to come over today?

Giving a smile, Lincoln texted back.

Loud 10: Sure, just be prepared if anything comes out. Knowing me something is bound to pop up lol.

Wendy. Y: That's fine. I like the excitement anyway , see you soon.

Nodding, Lincoln put his phone back in his pocket and closed up his game system. Getting up, he was about to leave when…

"Going somewhere?" Lincoln jumped up and screamed and looked to see Lucy sitting on her bed with her poetry.

"When'd you even get in here?" He asked frantically as he slowed his heartrate down.

"The vents." Lucy simply responded.

"Oh, right." Lincoln breathed out as his heartrate returned to normal. "And yeah, I'm going to Wendy's house."

"Ok." Lucy responded as she closed up her book and looked at Lincoln. "By the way, how has Lori been acting today?"

Lincoln raised a brow at the strange question but still answered it. "A bit weird honestly. She's been a little bit sweet and a little bit protective from what I've seen today." He explained with Lucy nodding. "Why? Wait a minute did you but a hex on her?"

"No, I only save those for special occasions." She said with a small smile which made Lincoln shiver a bit. Lucy then put her natural expression back on and looked Lincoln in the eye. "I'm asking because she came in here last night."

"She did?" Lincoln asked, slightly confused and curious. "What did she do?"

"She just came in and stared at you while you were sleeping." She explained.

Lincoln felt slightly creeped out at hearing this. Lori just watched him sleep? "So…is that all she did?" He asked making sure Lori wasn't taking after Luan suddenly and did something like put his hand in a bowl of warm water.

"No, all she did was stare at you." She further explained. "I was connecting with the spirits rather than sleeping at this time so I could sense her presence. And I could also tell that she was…disturbed and…scarred."

"Disturbed and scarred?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "At what?"

"I'm not sure." Lucy answered. All she could sense from Lori were those feelings, nothing else. "But I think you should talk to her. Something might be up."

"Yeah, especially if it makes her stare at me while I sleep." Lincoln said, still creeped out that Lori just watched him last night, regardless of what she was feeling. "Thanks for the info Luce."

"Anytime." She said as Lincoln left the room.

Right as Lincoln was down stairs, he looked to the dining room and saw Lori was in there reading some sort of fashion magazine. Tapping his chin in thought, he remembered what Lucy said. 'I think you should talk to her. Something might be up.'

He really should talk to her. But was now a really a good time? He already promised Wendy he'd be there a soon as he could and getting Lori to open up…might not be the easiest thing to do. She didn't really have a reputation of being the most sensitive Loud sibling…unless it was an issue dealing with Bobby but this wasn't.

Maybe for now, just asking for now and dealing with it later when he had some more time. Stepping to the doorway and knocking on the wall, he got her attention. "Hey Lori."

Smiling, Lori quickly put her magazine on the table and stepped up to Lincoln. "Hi Lincoln, do you need something?" She said rather…anxiously, which is something Lincoln noticed.

Deciding not to pry on it, Lincoln just spoke as he planned. "Uh, not really. I just wanted to, well…" He said while scratching his head trying to think of the proper words to use.

"Yeah?" Lori said with full attention on her little brothers words.

"Well, I just wanted to see if everything was alright with you." Lincoln said with a small smile and gentle tone.

Lori's smile turned from anxious to nervous when he asked this. "O-of course everything's alright."

"Ok, well it's just Lucy said, uh...well…" Lincoln struggled to find words again despite knowing full well what Lucy told him.

"Lucy said what?" Lori said in a confused tone.

"…You know what, nevermind. Just…remember near the beginning of summer, the whole incident with my gaming goggles?" He asked with Lori nodding. She remembered when she accidently broke his headset and got him a new one. "Well, we both promised that if we ever had any problems, we'd tell each other. So if there is anything going one, you can talk to me."

Lori smiled gently and went down to her brother level and pulled him into a soft hug. Lincoln didn't waste a second a returned it. "Thanks Lincoln. That means more then you know."

"Anytime." He said as they pulled out of the hug. "Well, I'm gonna head off to Wendy's place. She invited me."

"Oh I'll drive you!" She said rather excitedly as she went to go get the van keys.

"That's fine Lori, it's only a 20 minute-" However Lincoln stopped talking as he saw that Lori was giving him puppy dog eyes. Letting out a sigh of defeat, he nodded but still smiled. Despite being probably the most powerful 11-year-old in the universe…he still has weaknessess. "Alright, why not."

"Awesome! Just wait for me in the van!" She said happily as Lincoln left the house to go the family van.


WENDY'S HOUSE

Later Lincoln was now in Wendy's room with him and said girl watching TV in her room while snacking on something that Lincoln had never tried before. And he appeared to be enjoying it a lot. "Wendy this is great! What was it called again?" He asked after swallowing.

"Mochi!" Wendy replied while snacking on her own plate of the said dish. "It's my favorite dessert!"

"I can see why, this is amazing!" He said while eating another one.

Wendy smiled sweetly before her eyes popped open upon remembering something. "Oh! I wanna show you something!" She said as she went to her closet.

"What is it?" Lincoln asked as he turned away, just in case.

"Well while you were gonna for the weekend, I ran into Lori and Leni at the mall and they help me pick out some cloths. I wanna show you and see what you think." She said from inside the closest.

"Wait what?" Lincoln said as his cheeks turned red. Wendy wanted to essentially model cloths for his opinion. Oh boy…

"Ok…give me on for second…aaaaaand done!" She said as Lincoln heard the closest doors open. "You can turned around now!"

"So what do you think?" She asked as Lincoln looked at her with a red face. Wendy was now wearing a white short-sleeved dress, violent pants that went to knee level, and she kept the same shoes she originally had one. She also had a purple beaded bracelet on her left wrist and she put her hair into two twin tails.

"Pretty cute huh?" She asked with a sweet smile while Lincoln, who had managed to get rid of some of his blush, smiled a nodded.

"Yeah, I think you look nice." Lincoln said sincerely. As if he didn't already have a problem with controlling his face lighting up around her, this wasn't making it easier.

"Thanks." She said as she went back to sit down on the bed. But when looking to Lincoln, he saw that the boy had suddenly become lost in thought. Nudging his shoulder, she snapped him out of it and looked at the white haired boy in concern. "Are you alright? Is something wrong?"

"Uh yeah, it's just, you mentioning Lori has got me thinking about how she's been acting today." Lincoln answered while lying on his back and staring at the ceiling.

Wendy mimicked this and lied down next to Lincoln and looked at the ceiling. "Is it anything bad?" She asked in both curiosity and worry.

"Well no…at least, I don't think so." He answered still not sure himself on the entire thing. "It's just been weird. She's been getting a bit over protective, sweet, and she called me Linky."

"What's wrong with that last one? I've heard a lot of your sisters call you that, and I've been doing that to." Wendy reminded him, making him blush.

"Uh yeah." Lincoln said embarrassingly. He was still getting used to Wendy using that nickname for him, especially since she's been using it more than his actual name lately. "And for the most part you're right. Leni, Luna, Lucy, and the twins. I'm used to them and sometimes the others calling me that, but Lori, I can't even remember the last time she called me that, not since I was a toddler at least."

"Have you tried talking to her?" Wendy asked as she sat up a bit. She remembered how good Lincoln was at getting people to open up about their problems. He told her about when he helped Leni at the very start of the summer and more recently with Carlota in the city.

"Well, sorta." Lincoln answered as he sat up completely along with Wendy. "I tried asking her what was up and she said everything was fine, but I could tell that she wasn't telling the truth. So later I think I'm gonna try and get her to open up a little more. I'm not gonna pry on it, at least not yet, but if something is up, I gotta find some way to help her."

Wendy just smiled sweetly as she put a hand on Lincoln's shoulder. The Loud boy blushed a bit rom her sudden touch and looked to see her smiling at him. "You're a really nice person, you know that right?"

Lincoln simply chuckled and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Yeah I've been told." He said as he and Wendy shared a good laugh.

Just then the two heard the door open as saw Karen coming in and looking at Lincoln. "Lincoln, some of your sisters are here to pick you up, they say it's important. And they also wanted to see if Wendy could come, which I'll allow." She said making Wendy brighten up.

Ever since coming to Royal Woods, Karen has gotten quite fond of the Loud family as her and Rita often meet for a 'Mom's night out' every once and a while. Plus it gave Wendy a whole group of friends so she was mostly ok with Wendy going out with them. But she still has her eye on Lincoln.

"Awesome! Thanks mom, come on Lincoln!" Wendy said excitedly as she grabbed Lincolns hand and rushed out him hanging on for dear life as Wendy was actually picking him off the ground.

The white haired duo zoomed past Karen and went out to the driveway in the front. Once there Lincoln was allowed back on the ground and regained himself after letting go of Wendy's hand.

"Lincoln, we got trouble." Lincoln and Wendy looked up to see Leni looking at them through her car window.

"City hall is being hijacked dude!" Luna said from the back seat of the car as the rock star had tagged along.

"Alright! Come on Wendy! It's-"

"HERO TIME!" Suddenly Lincoln was interrupted by a third voice coming from the car. Specifically the front.

Looking behind Leni, Lincoln's eyes widened when he saw none other than Lori sitting on the passenger seat of the car next to Leni with a wide smile on her face.

"Lori?!" Lincoln and Wendy said in unison. Why the heck was Lori there?! She's never tagged along for something like this.

"Uh yeah, I, like, forgot to tell you but Lori's with us." Leni said with a nervous smile as she gestured toward Lori who had waved at the two 11-year-olds.

"And I'm ready for action!" The eldest Loud sibling said as she pumped her fist.

"Uh ok, but, why are you here exactly?" Lincoln asked in a curious tone, trying not to sound offense. It just seemed strange that after everything she's done today, Lori wants to come along for some hero stuff. She never seemed interested in it in the first place so why now.

"Well, we told her we were heading out to get you and she said she wanted to come." Luna explained with a nonchalant tone. "So we figured 'why not."

"Alright then." Wendy shrugged with a smile as she skipped towards the car.

"Uh, well…alright then." Lincoln said a little uneasily as she also stepped into the car and sat down next to Wendy with Luna on the opposite side of him.

"So why did you want you to come Lori?" Lincoln asked as Leni started driving to said destination.

"I just wanted to help is all." Lori said as she looked into his eyes. "Can't have you getting hurt or anything can we."

"Uh, yeah." Lincoln said as he leaned into his seat. Lori's behavior has just been getting stranger and stranger. "Lori, this is serious stuff. Are you sure you're up for it."

"Don't worry little bro, I was born ready!" She said rather dramatically which didn't help ease Lincoln all too much.

"Well…if you think you can handle it." Lincoln said which gained an excited smile and nodded rapidly.

Meanwhile Lincoln just sighed and tried to relax in the car seat while turning towards the audience. "Why do I get a bad feeling about this?"


At City Hall, almost the whole police force was there surrounding the building along with a crowd of people being held back by both police tape and police all around.

"EVERYONE JUST STAY CALM!" A police women said through a megaphone. "WE ARE TRYING TO ASSESS THE SITUATION AT HAND! SO FAR THE MAJOR NOR ANY OF THE STAFF IN THE BUILDING HAS BEEN HARMED! WE WILL ATTEMPT TO NOGATIAT WITH THE CAPTORS INSIDE!"

"Alright so whats the plane Linc?" Lori said as Leni parked her car a fair distance.

"Well first we got to get inside." Lincoln said as the group moved between alleyways trying to get into close proximity of the city hall without the police seeing them.

"You know, those bogus activities mom and dad had us do actually might come in handy here." Luna said making everyone looked at her confused. The rocker then took out her phone and showed everyone what appeared to be a blue print of the very build they were trying to get into. "Since Luan interned here she got the layout of the place."

"Wow, talk about lucky!" Leni cheered as everyone took a look at the schematics.

"It looks like there's a vent in the back corner of the building." Wendy pointed out as she zoomed in the picture to what she was talking about. Sure enough, there was a rather big vent opening in the back left corner of the building.

Lincoln peeked through the alley they were in and looked around the place to see if he could see it from here. While he couldn't see the vent, he did see that one particular area of the building was unguarded. "And that's also a blind spot." He said with a smirk.

Lincoln then turned to the rest of the group and cleared his throat. "Alright every-"

"Ok everyone! Here's the plan." Suddenly, Lori of all the girls, interrupted him. "We get into the building, take down the villains in there, and save the day!" She said making everyone look at her confused as she suddenly put her hands to her hips and marched forward like she was leading the charge.

"Ok, like, what just happened?" Leni said with a confused tone and look.

"I think she just took charge dude." Luna said with Wendy nodding in agreement.

Lincoln growled a bit in annoyance before turning to everyone. "Well, she's got a good of what to do at least, so let's just go along and hope this goes well." He said as he started to follow his oldest sister with the rest following shortly behind.

The group now found themselves at the back of the building where there was thankfully no police. Most likely due to the fact that there was surprising no entrances or exits here. "Alright the vents up there, so how are we going to get to it?" Lori said as she put her hand on her chin.

Lincoln simply smirked and cracked his knuckles. "Well Big Chill should have no problem getting us all up there." He said confidently as went for the Omnitrix. Once he activated it and slammed the core down however…

"Echo Echo…ah good grief." The now transformed boy groaned at the usual wrong transformation.

'You should just stop trying to pick at this point.'

"Quiet you." Echo Echo said in frustration at the Amperi in his head.

"So how we getting up now bro?" Luna asked while scratching the top of his head. They couldn't just wait around for the Omnitrix to give him the right alien for the job, who knows how long that would take.

"Why don't we just stand up on each other's shoulders?" Lori suggested. If they all got up on each other they might be tall enough to reach the top."

Leni didn't really think to highly of this idea and shook her head. "Lori, I don't think that's gonna-"

"Wait, that's it!" Echo Echo said interrupting Leni. "Lori, that's perfect."

"Really?" Lori said genuinely surprised but quickly shook her head and crossed her arms confidently. "I mean yeah. It literally is."

"But, like, how?" Leni asked in confusions. It just didn't seem like a good plan.

"Simple. Wendy, get on," Echo Echo said as he pointed to his shoulders.

Wendy nodded and sat down on the transformed boys shoulders. He blushed at first but quickly regained himself and walked himself and Wendy to where they were almost right below the edge of the building.

Everyone watched as Echo Echo cloned himself right under them making another Echo Echo that was carrying the original on its shoulders with Wendy on the original. And then another clone, and another, and another, and it just kept cloning until it was tall enough to reach the top.

As soon as the Echo Echo tower was there, Wendy quickly hopped up and waved to everyone below. "It worked! I'll get the vent open while you guys get up!" She called out with Luna making an 'ok' gesture with her fingers.

All the Echo Echo clones disappeared leaving only the original back on the ground. "Going up?" he joked making the others deadpan at him.

'Luan's been rubbing off on you hasn't she?'

'Probably.'

Once Echo Echo got everyone, including himself, up on the building the group was now crawling through the vents. "So what now?" Lori asked making everyone shush her.

"Queit." Echo Echo said. "We don't want anyone to hear us."

Lori nodded her head and repeated her question with a quieter voice. "So what do we do now?"

"We crawl around till we find where the bad guys are at." Leni answered as the group continued to move forward.

"Yeah, so you dudes keep your eyes and ears peeled." Luna said with everyone nodded.

For a while everyone just kept crawling through the vents in the building. Checking every grate they came across to see if anyone was there. Certainly they were fruitless as every opening they looked to lead to an empty room. They were about to turn around to go another direction until…

"Yo, Gruff! What about the Blue Goo Dolls?"

"NO! Red Zeppelin!"

"You all hear that?" Wendy said quietly with everyone nodding.

"Yeah, I think it's coming from there." Echo Echo pointed to a nearby grate that they hadn't checked yet. Crawling up to it, Echo Echo looked through it only to groan. "Oh good grief."

'Not these idiots again.'

Sure enough, looking through the vent, Echo Echo saw none other than some of the members of the red and blue gang. Specifically, Gruff and Bucker. Only the head gear on there uniforms seemed to be different as now they were wearing ski mask of their respective color along with yellow ski goggles covering their eyes.

"The Blue Fighter!" Bucker told Gruff who shook his head in response.

"Uh, The Grateful Red!"

"Oh, God no! Screw you!" Bucker yelled back.

"Seriously, these idiots again." Luna said with a blank expression. She seriously couldn't believe they got out of jail…AGAIN!

"How many times have we run into these guys again?" Leni asked with a bored tone.

"Wait again? As in multiple times?" Lori asked with worry in her voice.

"Yep, well, might as well get it over with." Echo Echo said as he got ready to kick the vent open.

As Bucker and Gruff continued to argue, Chapel walked over to them. "Oh my gosh, are you two idiots still fighting?!" He yelled in frustration. These two have been at each other's throats since this morning.

"Yeah we have! This guy just can't get over the fact that his gang names are lame!" Bucker said as he and Gruff faced Chappel. "Blue-Tang Clan!"

"The Red Kennedy!" Gruff said back. "Besides, there's already a blue man group! Let's at least try to be original."

"Are you two ladies still arguing over team names?!" Commander said as he walked in on them. "I thought we already agreed on Commander and the Mutts."

"Uh, I think you mean The Chapel Experience." Chapel said in a matter of fact tone as they were suddenly interrupted by a bunch of muffled voice a group of people who were tied up and had duct tape over their mouths.

"Hey, would you all quiet down over there!" Simon said as he stood next the group of hostages, which just so happened to include the mayor.

"Oh! Maybe we should hand out some snacks to everyone. Everyone likes snacks!" Bagel suggested while standing next to Engine.

"Oh, I love snacks!" He said in his usual idiotic tone. "Especially those tine juice boxes that make me feel big."

Crash!

Just then everyone heard the sound of the vent in the wall being busted opened and watched as Echo Echo, Wendy, Leni, Luna and Lori jumped out of them.

"Ah shit." Chapel said as they all saw yet again that kid that could transform into those alien heroes with some of his sisters and that Wendy girl in front of them again. And it never ended well for them.

"Alright, let's just get this over with." Echo Echo said casually as he dusted his hands off.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Gruff said, irritated at the boys words.

"Ok look, after all the times I fought you morons I haven't bothered to remember half of your names, but I think I got your themes figured. Gruff stubborn leader, lazy slob, ass kissing nerd, flamboyant weirdo, egotistical jerk, perverted pig, and the hopeless moron." Echo Echo said extremely blunting and gesturing his head to each gang member he was referring to respectively.

"HEY! Who do you think you are?!" Commander said very offended. "I am be NO means flamboyant!"

"And while I appreciate the compliment, I'm not gruff." Chapel pointing out.

"I don't kiss butts, that's gross." Engine said.

"I work twice as hard as these guy. Why would you say I'M lazy?" Bagel asked in an offended tone.

'…Wow.'

"…Ok on second thought, you're ALL equally stupid." Echo Echo decided. How on earth did they not know which person he was referring to which each insult he said?

"Ok so how does this normally go?" Lori asked not quite used to the situation.

Right before Echo Echo could say anything, Engine beat him to it. "Oh well usually we start by doing something illegal, the alien then finds us and we fight and then he beats us up, we go to jail and then we dig with spoons."

Everyone was silent for a minute until Bucker spoke up. "Yeah that….basically sums it up."

"And that's how it's gonna stay!" Echo Echo said confidently as he stepped up. "Girl's you all take care of the hostages, I got this."

Leni, Luna, and Wendy saluted in response and ran off to go untie everyone. Lori was a bit indecisive and followed the others at a slower pace and kept her head turn to keep looking at Lincoln.

"Oh yeah!?" Simon challenged as he stepped up with surprising confidence. "You and what army?"

Echo Echo then smirked and all the Red and Blue gang could do was watch as Echo Echo started cloning himself until there was 14 Echo Echo's. "How about this army?" All the Echo Echo's said in unison.

Simon made an 'eep' sound and slowly started backing up as Gruff faced him. "You just had to open your mouth didn't you?"

"I'll shut up now." Simon squeaked as the Echo Echo's reared their head back ready to start doing what that alien does best.


"Don't worry, we got you dudes." Luna said as she and Wendy started untying the ropes holding the people that were captured.

"Hey Lori you help me get the tape of their mouths." Leni requested but was unanswered. "Lori?" once again no answer. Leni then looked behind her and saw Lori was standing a few feet away and was looking in the room where Echo Echo was fighting.

"Lori, what are you doing?" Leni asked a little worried about what was going on in her older sister's head.

Lori then turned around to face the group with a confident smile. "You guy's stay here, I'm gonna go help Lincoln."

The rest of the group went wide eyed with this statement. "But Lincoln told us to help the hostages." Wendy pointed out.

Lori then frowned and looked at Wendy in the eye while gesturing to the doorway. "I can't just leave him alone to fight a gang of criminals."

"Does it really count as alone if you can clone yourself?" Leni asked while putting a hand to her chin and thinking about her own question.

Luna nodded before voicing her own reasoning. "Plus those dude aren't exactly competent." The rock star pointed out as she knew those guys were probably the biggest group of idiots in the world. "Besides, Lincolns done just fine without your help."

"Yeah, and imagine how literally better it would be with my help." Lori pointed out in a matter of fact tone.

"Uh I'm not sure-" Before Wendy could voice her reasoning, Lori interrupted her.

"Relax girls, it'll be fine. Trust me." And with that, Lori went off to go help Lincoln.

Everything was silent for a minute before turning to each other with worried expressions. "This isn't gonna go well is it?" Leni asked with Wendy and Luna shaking their heads.


"Alright, you guys have enough yet?" Echo Echo smirked as he stood in front of the red and blue gang who were looking like they've seen better days.

"Listen you, I may be hurting all over, partially deaf, and have been punched in a man sacred jewels, BUT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP MY PRIDE!" Commander shouted in prideful stupidity.

"WHAT?!" Bucker shouted as he had slight hearing lose as well. "YOU REFUSE TO LET GO OF YOUR BRIDE?!"

"WHAT?!" Gruff shouted in a similar manner. "YOU'RE REFUSING TO GO TO THE TIDE?!"

"WHAT?!" Engine shouted as well. "THERE'S MUFFINS IN THE BREAKROOM?! WHERE?!"

That didn't even sound like what the others said but…whatever.

"Well, I tried." Echo Echo said to the audience before getting into a fighting stance. If these idiots wanted to get beat up even more, then so be it. At least it was kinda fun to have a bunch of living targets. "Now get ready for-"

"Hi-yah!" Suddenly Echo Echo was interrupted by the sounds of a female voice and before he knew it Lori was next to him in her own fighting stance surprising everyone. "Ready to literally get your butt kicked."

"Lori! What are you doing?!" Echo Echo demanded with a growl. What the heck did Lori think she was doing! She could get herself hurt, except against Chapple, good thing he couldn't aim.

"I'm helping you. Duh." She answered as if it were obvious.

"But I'm-"

"Woah, woah, woah, hold up." Bucker said as he stood forward. "Now hold on! We are the Motley Blues!"

"Bull shit! The Talking Red!" Gruff argued but Bucker didn't even acknowledge him.

"Who are you…no seriously who is she?" Bucker asked as neither him nor any of his comrades have seen this particular girl before.

Echo Echo simply sighed and smacked his forehead in frustration. "Everyone, this is my sister Lori."

"Hi Lori." All the gang members greeted in unison.

"Enough talk. Let's get down to business." She said in a dramatic super hero voice making her younger brother groan.

"Well we kinda already were before you interrupted." Simon point out with everyone else nodding.

"Yeah, you kind of ruined the moment." Chapple added.

"Lori!" Echo Echo groaned. "I thought I told you and the others to go help the hostages."

"And last I check, I'm the oldest so I get to make the decisions." The decisions she said while crossing her arms.

Echo Echo growled at this. Was now seriously the time for sibling superiority!? He already had enough of this at home. "Lori! This isn't the house! This is serious!" Echo Echo yelled at her making her glare at him.

"Which is why I came to help!" She said in her defense.

Meanwhile the red and blue group just sweat dropped at watched as they argued right in front of them. "So…" Simon spoke up with a cough. "Should we…interrupt them?"

"Nah, I'm enjoying this." Gruff said as he watched the two siblings argue while eating popcorn.

"Hey where'd you get that popcorn?" Bucker asked as everyone noticed the snack in Gruff's hand.

"From the popcorn machine." He answered while pointing to the side.

Sure enough, everyone looked to just see a popcorn machine in the corner of the room. "What the- how did none of us notice that?" Chapple asked with everyone else shrugging.

"I don't need your help!" Echo Echo retorted as he and Lori were glaring into each other's eyes.

"Well what if something happened?!" She retorted.

"I've been fine so far! What has been with you lately? Before you wanted nothing to do with all this alien and hero stuff and then suddenly you start acting like you're in charge of the whole thing!" Echo Echo yelled back.

"Um, excuse me." Before Lori could retort, they were interrupted by Bagel clearing his throat. "Maybe you two should sit down and discuss your problems in a turn based discussion." He suggested.

"Bagel what the heck are you doin?" Commander demanded.

"Helping them with their issue's." Bagel answered making his team members, expect for Engine, shake their heads. "Now, the first step is healthy communica-OW"

Before he could finish, Chapple smacked him in the back of the head. "Don't help them you idiot! They'll the enemy. Shoot them."

"…so can we start fighting now?" Bucker asked.

"Oh my goodness, YES!" Echo Echo said as he charged at them and split into 5 clones and charged.

Lori then looked around the room for anything she could use and smirked when seeing a loose pipe in the wall. "I'll show Lincoln how helpful I can be."

"Ah, stop cloning yourself!" Simon yelled as he tried to shoot Echo Echo only for a clone to appear and the one he was trying to hit disappear.

"Hey Lincoln!" Lori called as she ripped the pipe out of the wall. "Catch!" She then threw the pipe at Echo Echo who only just now heard Lori.

"Watch wha-AAH!" Before he could react the pipe hit Echo Echo right in the head knocking him down.

"Oh geez, the back of your head." Simon said as he backed away. Granted it didn't hit him, but it looked like it hurt.

"Lori!" An Echo Echo who was fighting Chapple yelled in frustration.

Lori smiled nervously in response. "Sorry."

Just then Bucker appeared in front of Lori and unsheathed his plasma sword. "Ok, I don't want a hit an incredibly hot girl like yourself, but I gotta do what I gotta do."

Right before Lori could both retort and get ready to defend herself, an Echo Echo came in and unleashed a sonic scream at Bucker causing him to drop his sword and get launched into the wall.

"Lori, please leave!" Echo Echo told his oldest sister. "Even if I can clone myself, its hard to keep track of both you and fight these guys at the same time!"

'Plus cloning feel weird.'

"Not now Ra'ad!" Echo Echo retorted as he ran off to the fight.

"Lori lightly growled at the interruption. She could've handled that pervert. SO what if he had that sword, everyone kept saying they were incompetent so how bad could it be.

Just then Lori's eyes feel upon the dumbest member of the group. Engine. Just starring at the fight and holding his gun like the idiot he was and trying to count the amount of Echo Echo clones. "1, 2, 4, 7, 3…wait, that's not right."

That's how she could show him. She could take him down and show how useful she could be. Then he'd want her to come along on all missions and then she could keep a proper eye on him from now on. But as she was sneaking up on him, she failed to see that Engine's finger was on the trigger of his gun.

"I hope you brought your wallet, because the rent in he-" But as Commander was talking an Echo Echo clone came and round house kicked him in the face. "Damn it you little runt, you messed up my one liner!"

"Yeah, this is how much I care." Echo Echo then delivered a sonic scream to the gruff leader and sent him flying.

"Hi commander." Engine greeted as he saw the bright red themed gang member fly through the air.

Just then the door to the other room opened up revealing all the hostages they took all untied and ungagged. "Hey, the hostages are free!" Engine pointed out before looking up. "Now what was I supposed to do when that happened?" Engine thought for a moment before it clicked. "Oh yeeeah! I was supposed to sh-"

"Gotcha!" Suddenly Lori came from behind the idiot criminal and tackled him.

"Ah! I am being violated!" Engine shouted as he was brought to the ground.

But…as we was…

BANG!

"AAAAAAAAAHHH!"

Suddenly all the Echo Echo's and the red and blue gang stopped fighting at the sound of the loud gunshot followed by someone screaming.

Everyone looked to see, with Lori and all the Echo Echo's jaw dropping, to see that the bullet had hit one of the freed hostages in the shoulders making everyone else that was in the room to gather around him.

"He's hit!" someone in the crowd screamed.

"Quick! Someone stop the bleeding!" They heard Wendy say from within.

Lori, the Echo Echo's and reds and blues were silent until Engine spoke up from under Lori. "Hooray! I did it! I am the best!"

Just then, Echo Echo growl viciously and spawned as many clones as he could and unleashed a sonic scream at each gang member. It was powerful enough to shatter all the windows in the area and it resulted in knocking all of Echo Echo's targets out cold.


Later, an ambulance was called at the scene, the police had already taken care of the red and blue gang just leaving the injured man to be rolled into the ambulance on a gurney. It was then that Lincoln decided to walk up to a man wearing a nurse's uniform. "Is he gonna be alright?" Lincoln asked with concern.

The nurse smiled softly and patted Lincoln on the head. "Don't worry son, he'll be just fine." He reassured the Loud boy. "It was just a shot to the shoulder and the gun appeared to be a low caliber gun so it's just a matter of removing the bullet and treating the wound, he'll be good as new in no time."

Lincoln gave a small smile and nodded in thanks before turning away to his group. He then saw Lori and coldly glared at her as he walked up to them.

Lori saw this and rubbed her arm sheepishly. "Look, Lincoln, I am so-"

"Don't. Say. Anything!" Lincoln quietly snapped as he walked to the car.

Lori looked to her two sisters and Wendy and saw that, while they weren't glaring at her, they adverted there gaze and just followed Lincoln to the car. Lori simply looked down and sighed before walking to the car himself.


The car ride home was…awkward to say the least. The only thing that was said the whole time was Wendy saying that they could just go home and she'd walk home, to which Leni just nodded.

For the rest of the time, everyone just didn't talk to each other. Lincoln looked out the window at the sun which was slowly starting to disappear into the sky giving way to night time.

Lori wanted to turn around and talk to her brother but stayed quiet and just looked out the window herself.

When they arrived at the house, Lincoln quickly stepped out of the car and started to speed walk inside, just wanted to get today over with after what happened back at City Hall. But before he could even reach the walkway leading into the door, he was interrupted by the sound of none other than Lori's voice.

"Lincoln wait." Lori quickly said as she ran behind him.

Lori stopped and took a sharp intake of air though his nose. "What?" He said in an irritated tone without turning around.

"L-look, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry." She said quietly while looking down and holding her hands together.

This didn't mean anything to Lincoln however. The Omnitrix wielder tight his fist and clenched his teeth and turned to glare at his sister right in the eye. "Do you really think sorry is gonna fix what happened back there?"

"It, it was an accident." Lori stuttered as she back up a bit and adverted her gaze. "Look, next time will be different."

"Next time?" Lincoln said with a brow raised. "No, no, no, no! There's not gonna be a next time. Not after today."

"Wh-what do you mean?" Lori asked with a nervous smile trying to ease the tension Lincoln was making.

"What do I mean?! Lori! Someone got shot! And guess what?" He said in a very angry tone making not just Lori, but the other 3 girls flinch. "It could have all been avoid if you had either A. did what I asked you to do or B. not come at all!"

Lori flinched again and practically shrunk down and looked down at the ground and poked her fingers together. "I just…wanted to help."

"I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!" Lincoln completely snapped making Lori back up. "I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP! I JUST WANT YOU TO GO AWAY!"

Lori silently gasp. As did the others. Everything was completely silent. All that could be heard was Lincoln rough breathing. His face red from anger with some sweat coming off it.

Lowering her head to where her eyes were shadowed by her hair, Lori did her best to hold back her tears. "Alright." She said quietly. "If that's what you want."

Before anyone could say anything else, Lori ran into the house as fast as she could, slamming the door in the process.

All Lincoln did was watch while still breathing heavily. Finally, he got her off his back. Now all he wanted to do was crash into bed, and forget today ever happened. However, he felt some eyes watching him from behind and looked to see Leni, Luna and Wendy looking at him with nervous looks.

Lincoln could tell they had something to say to him and groan. "What?"

The girls all looked at each other before Leni decided to step up. "Don't you think you were a little…rough?" She said while holding her arm.

"What do you mean?" Lincoln groaned with an exhausted look on his face.

"Dude, I know she messed up, but it was just an accident and it could've been worse." Luna pointed out in support. Yeah someone got shot, but the nurse said it wasn't anything serious. It could have been much worse and everyone makes mistakes.

"Yeah but-" Before Lincoln could say anything, Wendy stepped up in front of him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Lincoln, you told me today that Lori looked like something was wrong with her. What if this whole thing has something more behind it?" She told him making Lincoln gain a thoughtful expression. "She probably feels hurt now, you said you wanted to help her."

Hearing all this, Lincoln felt a huge feeling of guilt build up inside him. It was true, he figured that her coming along and doing what she did was part of what was going on with her. But all he did was well and her and told her to just…go away.

"Now I feel like a huge jerk." Lincoln admitted with his head down.

Wendy then put her hand under his chin and lifted his head up so he could see herself and his two sisters smiling softly at him. "Go talk to her." Wendy told him.

"Yeah, I will." Lincoln nodded as he went to the house to confront his eldest sister on the situation.


Once inside the house, Lincoln slowly went up the stairs. The guilty feeling in his stomach just got worse and halted his speed to go confront Lori. Would she even want to talk to him? Honestly, he wouldn't be surprised is Lori didn't want anything to do with him ever again.

And really, he would understand if that was the case.

After what felt like hours, Lincoln finally made it up the stairs to the hallway where everyones room was. Taking a deep breath, Lincoln moved towards Lori and Leni's room.

He was about to open the door but as he reached his hand out, a breeze coming from inside creaked the door open a crack. It was already open.

Lincoln then grabbed the door and entered the room and closed the door to where it was only open a tiny crack so he wouldn't make any noise.

Inside, he saw Lori on the end of the bed curled up into a ball and facing the wall. Tiptoeing to the edge of her bed, Lincoln stood in front of the mattress of his eldest sister. "Lori." He said gently trying to get her attention.

"…What is it Lincoln." She said in a quiet, almost emotionless voice.

Sighing sadly, Lincoln looked down with an expression of guilt. "Lori, I…I wanted to…apologize for what happened outside, I was out of line and a huge jerk, I shouldn't of-"

"You don't have to apologize alright." She said with a slightly raised voice. "You were right. I just wanted to help but all I did was mess things up. I tried to deny it but you were right…you don't need me."

Lincoln's guilty feeling grew worse as he climbed up onto her bed and sat himself in front of her. "Lori, what's going on?" He asked. He was determined on understanding why Lori's just been like this lately.

Silence.

Lincoln scooched a bit closer to her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Lori, we promised each other we'd tell each other any problems we are having. I wanna know why you've been acting like this lately, the need to help, the overprotectiveness. Please…tell me why."

Lori didn't response for a moment, but the 17-year-old took a very deep breath and shook a bit when she told him.

"I had a nightmare."

Lincoln's eyes widened a bit. A nightmare? That's what caused all this? He was going to need to know a little more than that. "And what was this nightmare about?"

It was then Lori started to shake and hug herself tightly. Lincoln instantly noticed this and squeezed her shoulder reassuringly. Lori noticed the gesture and opened her eyes and her expression looked…traumatized.

"I was…in college." Lori managed to breathe out as Lincoln kept his hand on her shoulder. "Everything seemed so real. The classes, the room, I thought it was actually happening."

"But then, when the day was over…I got a call, from mom." It was then that Lori started to hyperventilate. Lincoln started rubbing her shoulder trying to calm her down. It didn't work completely but Lori managed to slow it down enough to where she could talk.

"The way she talked…she sounded horrified. It was about you and your hero work. You fighting some villains, and usually, you succeed, you save the day and everything turns out well. But mom said that…you failed, and you…and you…you were…"

Lori couldn't even finish as she started hyperventilating worse than she ever had before. But Lincoln didn't need her to finish. His eyes widened and his pupils dilated. She dream…that he was killed.

"But Lori…I'm still here." Lincoln said in a shaky voice. "I'm fine."

"I…know." She managed to breathe out. "But…it felt so real. I thought you actually…died. And I wasn't even there to try and stop it. To try and help you. To try and keep you safe."

"But the worst part is that could be a reality." She continued make Lincoln back up a bit. "I'm going to college when summer ends…and I won't be there for you."

"But…Lori…nothing is going to-"

"BUT IT COULD!" She yelled, scarring Lincoln. It was then that she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes as they started to flow down her face slowly. "I've never told you this before…but whenever you go out to go hero, I'm scared to death."

"I'm so scarred that eventually, you'll run into something out of your league and…you won't make it." She reveled in a breaking voice as Lincoln could only watch. He couldn't think of anything he could say about this.

"But…the worst part about it is…I'm afraid you won't need me anymore."

Lincoln's face turned slightly confused. "What do you mean?" He asked quietly.

"You wanna know why I tried sabotaging Leni's driving test at the beginning of summer?" She asked with Lincoln nodding. "Because, I knew that if she passed everyone would want a ride from her instead of me and that no one would need me for anything."

"And ever since I learned about that stupid watch on your wrist…I was afraid you would just completely forget about me."

"Wh-what do you mean?" The white haired boy gently pushed more.

"You can do literally anything with that watch. You don't need me or anyone for that matter anymore." She stated as tear continued to go down her cheek.

It all made sense now. The over protectiveness, the helping. She was afraid. Afraid of him not coming back, of him just getting hurt. But most of all…she was afraid of being forgotten

Right as he was about to try and say something, Lori spoke again. "Just look at me." She said quietly as she wiped her face with her arm and looked at all the tears that it wiped up. "I'm supposed to be the big tough oldest sibling that bosses around everyone…what would they say if they saw me now?"

Lori just clenched her eyes shut and tried to keep anymore tears from escaping her eyes.

But…

Her eyes then widen as she felt two arms wrapped around her and hold her tightly.

Lincoln was holding hugging Lori as tears started to build up in his own eyes. And then…he spoke…

"Well…I think you're pretty great."

Hearing this come from her baby brother as he held onto her tightly, she could hold back her tears as they started flowing down her face completely unrestrained. Breathing heavily, she quickly turned around to her hug brother close.

It was then that tears started to flow down Lincoln's face as he buried his head in Lori's chest and she buried her head in his hair. The two just sat there in each other's embrace just crying into each other and release their emotions.

"Lori…" Lincoln spoke up as he lifted his head up a bit. "I'm so sorry. But know that no matter what, no matter what happens, I'll always need you for everything. To talk to when I need advice, to hug when I'm sad, to pick me up when I fall. I promise I'll always need you, and I promise I will never in my life forget you."

Lori managed to give a small smile in her brother's hair while still letting all her tears out. "I'm sorry to. I'm sorry for when I've been unbearably bossy, or just a plain jerk to you. But just know that no matter what, all I wanna do I look out for and protect you. I love you Lincoln, I love you so, so much."

"I love you to Lori." Lincoln responded as the two tightened their hold on each other and continued to cry into each other.

And that was all they did for who knows how long. But they didn't care. All they did was hold onto each other and let all there tears out and enjoying each other's embrace.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the two lifted their head while still holding onto each other and saw that both of their faces were both red and puffy from crying for so long.

This got a small laugh out of the two as they looked at each other's eyes. "Look at us." Lori giggled. "Our faces look like tomatoes."

"At least I'm not wearing mascara." Lincoln quietly laugh as Lori ruffled his hair in response and laughed a little.

The two then went back to holding onto each other tightly, but no longer crying, just smiling and be with one another. It was then that Lori opened her eyes as an old memory came back to her. "You know, this reminds me when you were a baby." She revealed making Lincoln look up at her in wonder.

"Really?" He asked in curiosity.

"Yeah, you would cry a lot and I would hold you and calm you down. Usually with a song, I still remember the song I sang to you every day to get you to go to sleep." She told him making him smile.

"You do?" He asked again.

Lori nodded and took a deep breath…and sang.

Lori:

Let's go in the garden

You'll find something waiting

Right there where you left it

Lying upside down

When you finally find it

You'll see how it's faded

The underside is lighter

When you turn it around

Everything stays

Right where you left it

Everything stays

But it still changes

Ever so slightly

Daily and nightly

In little ways

When everything stays.

When Lori finished her song, she heard the sound of faint breathing and looked down to see that Lincoln had fallen asleep with his head snuggling into her chest. She smiled and patted his head as she laid herself and him down. "Still works." She whispered.

She then reached for her blanket and pulled it both over them and gave a sisterly kiss to his forehead. "Good night Linky. Thank you." And then, Lori laid her head down on the pillow and drifted off to sleep herself.


A little later into the night, the door to Lori and Leni's room slowly opened and Leni slowly went into the room. "Hello, anyone in here?" She asked in a whispered voice.

She then looked around and when she spotted Lori's bed. "Aaaaaaw!" She gushed silently as she tiptoed over to get a better view.

She watched as a sleeping Lori held onto a sleeping Lincoln like a stuffed animal, both still in their day clothes, just smiling and resting peacefully with each other. "I think I'll sleep on the couch tonight." She whispered to herself. She figured the two should just have this totally sweet moment together.

But first…

Leni quickly took out her phone and snapped a pic of the two and smiled at the resulting photo. "Totes posting this online." She said as she grabbed a blanket and heading out.


And there it is. I don't do emotional stuff too often, but I think I did a good job with this one.

Now, I said in my anniversary Q&A that I'd talk about why I like Lori so much here, and for that, I'm going to have to tell a little story about my life.

I used to have a dog named Cyrus. And he was my best friend. We've been together our whole lives, my parents got him a few months before I was born. And I have so many memories with him, I would play with him out in the yard, we'd watch TV together, he'd always be there for me when I was sad, I couldn't imagine my life without him. And then, a few months after I turned 15...he died. But before he died, I hardly spent any time with because of that. I could hardly live with the fact that my best friend that been with me through everything, would be gone. So I started to avoid him, so that way, when he did die, I wouldn't feel as hard. And I feel so awful for that. A week before he died, I never left his side, I petted him at all times, help him eat and move. And when he died, it was so hard for me. My parents buried him in the window next to my room so when I wake up, I could look outside to his grave and say hi.

And that's what I feel like Lori is going through. That she's leaving for college soon and will have to leave her family so who pushed them away by being aggressive and spending time on her phone so she can avoid. I know there's nothing saying this, but its how I feel. And the fact that she wants to feel needed, and always be able to be there for her siblings is like how I felt with Cyrus, how he would always go to me when I was sad and make me feel better and how I would always play with him and make him feel loved.

It really pisses me off that most fans of the show just write her off and bossy and a jerk without even looking into things. There can be so much more to a character or even a real person if you just think about things a bit from there perspective.

And I just wanna say, if you have any family, pet or human, do whatever you can to spend time with them. They'll always be the people that will love you, and help you, and be with you no matter what. And never them for granted because, before you know it, they'll be gone, and there's you can do to get them back.

And I just wanna say how much I appreciate you guys. I read all your reviews and PM's and its cause of you that I can write this amazing story for you guys and even though I don't know most of you personally, I like to think of you all as great friends that I can rely on and talk to if I'm having problems or anything at all.

You all mean so much to me, and I can't express my thanks.

Now, stay tuned for the next part of disagreements

"Lisa's Pesky Malfunction"

Goodbye, and I hope you all have an amazing day.
