Hey, here I am again. I hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year's Eve and Day in spite of these troubled times.

So last time, after a few more setbacks, Bobby and Lori are finally going to graduate high school...with some help from one of the school faculty.

I just can't believe that it's been four years since I started this project. I hope you like this new addition to the story, and hopefully this year won't be such a shit show.

As per usual, I would like to thank DukeyDukeyDoo and Mike The Red Engine for helping me proofread.

Chapter 33: The Prom of Thrones

It had only been a couple of days since Lori and Bobby passed the BAT exam, and now the big day of romance had arrived. February 14th, St. Valentine's Day, which was Bobby and Lori's favorite time of the year for obvious reasons.

Lori had also been a part of Carol's prom committee, planning everything for the Prom of Thrones. Bobby and his group had also been busy getting everything ready for the big night. After about a couple of days of preparations, it seems that everything was going according to plan.

9:00 A.M., Bobby and Lori's apartment...

[The alarm went off on the end table. Lori groggily put her hand on the alarm to shut it off. The pregnant woman then sat up and yawned before rubbing her eyes. She looked over to her right only to find that Bobby wasn't lying right next to her. Lori gave off a frown, but at that moment, she had to get herself ready for the day.]

[Lori got out of bed, wobbled into the bathroom, and shut the door. She then took off her nightwear and stepped into the shower before turning the left handle. The water felt a little cold at first, but after about a minute, it started to warm up, steam coming out of the shower as this went on.]

[Lori hummed to herself as she rubbed her legs with the soap while the warm water rinsed off the suds and trickled down her body. The tune she was humming was "Ooh, Girl" by "Boyz Will Be Boyz", which was one of her favorite songs of all time.]

[As Lori danced around in the shower, she felt a familiar kick inside of her stomach. With a warm smile, she put her hands on her baby bump and rubbed it lovingly.]

Lori: "That's right, little bumblebee. You're literally just a little ways away from coming out of your hive. Daddy and I can't wait to finally meet you."

[About ten minutes later, Lori's shower was over and the young adult got out. Lori then put on her baby blue robe to dry her body and cover herself before heading over to the mirror to dry her hair and brush her teeth. Once everything was finished, Lori headed back to her room to get dressed.]

[As soon as Lori was fully dressed, she wobbled into the kitchen to find Bobby standing next to the table with breakfast already made. There was French toast with a couple of sausage links along with some fresh blueberries and raspberries on the side of each plate. Accompanying the dishes were two cups of maple syrup and two glasses of orange juice. Lori covered her mouth in awe while her boyfriend looked at her with a grin on his face.]

Bobby: "Good morning, mon amour."

Jill: Good morning...buenos dias...and bonjour...Lori.

Lori: "You literally made all of this for me?"

Bobby: "Well, mostly the French Toast. Jill helped out with the sausage links. But, hey, it's the thought that counts...don't you agree?"

Jill: This sausage is...plant-based. You're...welcome.

[Lori smiled warmly as she took her seat at the table.]

Lori: "You really know what I want, don't you, Boo-Boo Bear?"

Bobby: "Only the best for mama."

[With that, Bobby stood next to Lori and gave her a kiss on the ear, causing her skin to tingle with excitement. Bobby then took his seat right across from Lori's as the young woman used her fork to cut herself a piece of French toast. As she started munching on the first piece, she could taste a hint of crème fraîche in the egg.]

Bobby: "So...are you excited for the prom tonight, fair maiden?"

Lori: "Now that is literally a stupid question to ask. But the real question is...are you?"

[Bobby chuckled in response.]

Bobby: "If it means spending the whole night with you, then I have no reason not to go."

[Lori smiled lovingly at her boyfriend as he cut himself a piece of French toast and took the first bite.]

Bobby: "By the way, I have something very special to give you, but you'll just have to wait until after the prom."

Lori: "Hmmm... I wonder what that could be?"

Bobby: "It's a surprise. That's all I can say."

[Lori just smiled at her boyfriend again as he raised a brow. She began to wonder what Bobby was planning, but decided to change gears and took one of her sausage links.]

Lori: "Oh, you are literally going to love what I have planned for you after the prom."

[Bobby suddenly found himself becoming hot when he heard his girlfriend speak in that seductive tone. Lori also began sucking on her sausage link in a suggestive manner, making Bobby feel even hotter.]

Bobby: "I can hardly wait, Babe."

Jill: My sensors indicate that Bobby's temperature is rising. Is he going to explode?

[Bobby rubbed the back of his head and chuckled in embarrassment when he heard what the robot just said.]

Bobby: "I think I'm going to be just fine... No problema."

Meanwhile, at the Loud House...

[Lincoln was in his room getting ready for school. He then sat on his bed and started looking over a long sheet of paper.]

[Just then, he heard a knock on his door.]

Lincoln: "Who is it?"

Ronnie Anne: "It's me, Lame-O. Can I come in?"

Lincoln: "Go right ahead."

[With that, Ronnie Anne opened the door and walked right in.]

Ronnie Anne: "What's taking you, Lame-O? Breakfast is almost ready."

Lincoln: "Sorry about that, Ronnie Anne. I was just preparing a to-do list for Valentine's Day... Patent pending."

Ronnie Anne: "Oh really? Now I'm curious."

Lincoln: "Well... How about after school, we have a little fun of our own?"

Ronnie Anne: "Okay? So what do you have in mind?"

Lincoln: "Here's the whole list right here."

[Lincoln showed his good friend the list. There was an overwhelming number of options to choose from and Ronnie Anne was quite impressed with most of them.]

Ronnie Anne: "That sounds awesome!"

[Ronnie Anne then rubbed her arm.]

Ronnie Anne: "Though, I'm not sure if we can do all of them in one day. It says your list is only good until midnight."

Lincoln: "It's okay, Ronnie Anne. We don't have to do every single one of them. Just enough to last us until nightfall."

Ronnie Anne: "Alright, then we'll decide what to do once school ends for the day, okay?"

Lincoln: "You got it, Ronnie Anne."

[With that, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne ran down the stairs and raced the girls into the dining room where breakfast was waiting.]

[Lincoln ate with his parents, older sisters, and Ronnie Anne, while his younger sisters ate at their table in the kitchen as per usual.]

Lynn Sr.: "So, kids... What are your plans for Valentine's Day this year?"

[Lynn Sr. wrapped his arm around his wife.]

Lynn Sr.: "I know what mine are gonna be."

[Rita let out a small giggle before speaking to her kids.]

Rita: "Bangers & Mosh this evening."

Leni: "Well, Chaz asked to take me out to the Prom of Thrones yesterday. I'm almost done with the outfits, and Ronnie Anne has been, like, a HUGE help with them."

Luna: "I'm going to the prom with Sam and the band. We're gonna play music for the crowd while they're dancing in the moonlight."

Luan: "Benny and I are going to be jesters for the prom. I just hope we have a faire chance!"

[Lynn Sr. laughed at that joke while the other Loud kids and Ronnie Anne groaned in response.]

Lynn Sr.: "Well, good for you, honey. What about you, Lynn Junior?"

Lynn: "Nothing for me, thank you. I think I'll just stand guard at the prom."

Lynn Sr.: "Ah, I see."

Rita: "What about you, Lincoln?"

Lincoln: "Well...I don't really have anything planned for tonight."

Luna: "You mean you don't have anyone, little dude?"

Lincoln: "No, not really."

Luan: "What about Ronnie Anne? I mean, you two are dating...right?"

Lincoln: "Well..."

[Ronnie Anne scoffed.]

Ronnie Anne: "Puh-leeze, Luaney Tunes! The day that Lincoln and I start dating is the day that my dumbass dad gets out of the slammer. And I doubt that will EVER happen."

Rita: "Now, girls, there's no need to pester your brother about his...relationship status with Ronnie Anne. Whatever they have planned is completely up to them."

Lincoln: "Thanks, mom."

[Lincoln looked over at Ronnie Anne, who blushed and looked away.]

[Shortly after breakfast, the whole family hurried through the front door and piled into Vanzilla. Once everyone was in, Lynn Sr. pulled out of the driveway and drove his kids to their respective schools.]

Later, outside of Royal Woods Middle School...

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne had just finished school and were making their way to the parking lot. Middle school is definitely a different experience for Lincoln compared to what he went through in elementary. He had to walk all the way to a classroom set up in a little shack feet away from the main building and most of his friends. The shack was hot and the teacher was a total slob. However, one positive aspect was that Ronnie Anne was in that very same class and she had made Lincoln's trips to class all the more easier. As hard as it was in that shack, at least Lincoln didn't have to suffer alone.]

[Finally, they arrived at the parking lot where Rita and Lynn Sr. were waiting in Vanzilla with the rest of the Loud sisters. The two twelve-year-olds approached the van, but Lincoln went up to the driver's seat.]

Lincoln: "Is it okay if Ronnie Anne and I hang out a bit more?"

[Rita thought for a moment before she gave her answer.]

Rita: "Alright, sweetie! Just be home before six!"

Lynn Sr.: "And don't talk to anyone you don't know!"

Lincoln: "Thanks for the reminder, Mom and Dad! See ya!"

[With that, Rita started the engine before she drove back towards the Loud house with her husband and daughters. Once the van was out of sight, Lincoln looked at Ronnie Anne as they walked down the sidewalk.]

Lincoln: "So what do you think we should do first?"

Ronnie Anne: "I'm thinking that maybe we should do a few skate tricks."

Lincoln: "That's a good start. I'll race you to skate park."

[Lincoln started to run when Ronnie Anne stopped him by pulling on the back collar of his shirt.]

Ronnie Anne: "Woah! Wait a minute, Lame-O! Don't you remember what happened the last time we were there?"

[Lincoln thought back to that moment when he was taken by Las Hermanas and the whole situation that followed afterward.]

Lincoln: "You're right... So where do we go now?"

Ronnie Anne: "We could race on our skateboards to the ice cream shop."

Lincoln: "Sure! I think a good skate can raise a sweat."

[Ronnie Anne reached into her bag and pulled out her SMOOCH skateboard. She then pulled out another skateboard and gave it to Lincoln. This was one of the methods that the two kids did to get to Mr. Bolhofner's class faster.]

Ronnie Anne: "I'll race you to Auntie Pam's!"

Lincoln: "You're on, miss Santiago!"

[With that, the kids got on their boards and raced to Auntie Pam's Parlor.]

Later...

[Lincoln had arrived first at Auntie Pam's with Ronnie Anne just a few seconds behind. The white-haired boy jumped off his board and raised his arms in the air in victory.]

Lincoln: "Woo-hoo! I win!"

Ronnie Anne: "Hey! I let you win! Just don't get too excited about it!"

Lincoln: "You're right, I'm sorry."

[Ronnie Anne gave Lincoln a light punch on his arm and chuckled.]

Ronnie Anne: "Apology accepted, Lame-O."

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne walked up to the shop and got their ice creams before sitting together at one of the benches.]

[Ronnie Anne got an orange sherbet ice cream on a waffle cone with whipped topping while Lincoln got a mint chocolate chip sundae. This brought back memories for Lincoln since this flavor was the first one he had when he was a baby, and Lori was the one who fed it to him on that day.]

Lincoln: "So...why did you pick orange sherbet?"

Ronnie Anne: "Because...the color has somewhat of a...texturizing resemblance to something...or someone in particular."

[Ronnie Anne raised her eyebrow at Lincoln.]

Lincoln: "Gee...I wonder who?"

[Ronnie Anne playfully hit Lincoln on the nose with the ice cream, getting some whipped cream on his nose. Ronnie Anne laughed at the sight while Lincoln chuckled in response.]

Lincoln: "I was just kidding, Ronnie Anne. I know who you're referring to."

[Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes in a playful manner just as Lincoln wiped the cream off of his nose and licked it like a kitten, making Ronnie Anne giggle at the sight.]

Ronnie Anne: "You know, as much as I like this flavor, I would kill to have some of that mint."

Lincoln: "Not a bad idea. I don't think I can finish this all in one go anyway."

[A little later, they finished their ice creams.]

Ronnie Anne: "Wow! That was delish!"

[Ronnie Anne let out a burp before covering her mouth.]

Lincoln: "Yeah... So, what do you think we should do next?"

[Ronnie Anne looked over the list and pointed to the next location.]

Ronnie Anne: "What do you say we do some singing at the karaoke place?"

Lincoln: "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne got off the bench and left on their boards.]

Later...

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne arrived outside of Karaoke-Dokie. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne got off their skateboards and went inside the building.]

Lincoln: "So who's first?"

Ronnie Anne: "That would be me."

[Ronnie Anne went up onstage and took the microphone. A song by SMOOCH started playing on the machine. Ronnie Anne started to sing as the words on the screen started changing color.]

[As Ronnie Anne sang the lyrics on the screen, Lincoln raised his hands and stuck his tongue out while bobbing his head up and down.]

[The audience cheered as Ronnie Anne kept singing.]

[As soon as her performance was finished, she dropped the mic and did a stage dive...right on top of Lincoln. The two kids looked at each other and blushed like mad.]

Ronnie Anne: "Sorry, Linc. Got a little carried away."

Lincoln: "Are you kidding, Ronnie Anne? That was awesome!"

Ronnie Anne: "I'm glad you think so."

[The two got up off the floor.]

Ronnie Anne: "By the way, I think it's your turn to sing, Lame-O!"

Lincoln: "I don't know if that's necessary."

Ronnie Anne: "Come on, Lincoln! Everyone wants to see it."

[Lincoln shrugged. He went up onstage and took the mike. A familiar tune by The Cars began to play on the machine. As soon as the words started changing color, Lincoln sang the lyrics.]

You might think I'm crazy, to hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky to have something to do
But I think that you're wild
Inside me is some child

You might think I'm foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you

[The crowd started to cheer as Lincoln finished the first verse.]

You might think it's hysterical but I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies, and everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

And it was hard, so hard to take
There's no mistake without a scrape
But you kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

[Ronnie Anne raised her hands in the air and stuck her tongue out in a similar fashion to the members of SMOOCH. Lincoln began to sing the third verse.]

You might think I'm delirious the way I run you down
But somewhere sometimes when you're curious, I'll be back around
But I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled

You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendezvous
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

[Just as Lincoln's performance was finished, the crowd cheered him on along with Ronnie Anne. The albino-haired boy also took a few bows as the crowd kept on applauding him.]

Ronnie Anne: "Bravo, Lame-O!"

[Later, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne exited the building.]

Lincoln: "That was really amazing, Ronnie Anne."

Ronnie Anne: "I know! Who knew you could sing like that?"

Lincoln: "Well, this is what you get when you have a sister named Luna Loud."

Ronnie Anne: "Yeah, that'll do it alright. Of course, I would know. I mean, look how my performance ended."

Lincoln: "You got a point there. So, what do you think we should do next?"

[Ronnie Anne looked over the list again. But as she did, she formed a sneaky smirk on her face as an idea formed in her head.]

Ronnie Anne: "I think we should pay a little visit to a certain old rich fool and teach him some manners."

[Lincoln started to feel a little uneasy as he put two and two together.]

Lincoln: "You mean Lord Tetherby?"

Ronnie Anne: "Bingo!"

[Lincoln looked at the list again to be sure of something.]

Lincoln: "I don't know, Ronnie Anne. That doesn't seem to be anywhere on the list."

Ronnie Anne: "Oh, come on! Don't tell me you're going chicken on me!"

Lincoln: "No! No no no no! It's just-"

[Lincoln sighed in defeat.]

Ronnie Anne: "I didn't think so. Now come on! I think we're gonna have some fun with this."

[With that, the two twelve-year-olds got on their skateboards and went off.]

Later, outside of Tetherby's mansion...

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne arrived outside of Tetherby's mansion. Ronnie Anne had also had a small bag with her.]

Lincoln: "I'm still not so sure about this, Ronnie Anne. Who knows what he'll do if he catches us."

Ronnie Anne: "Come on, Lincoln. That old turnip won't even know what hit him."

[Ronnie Anne reached into her bag and pulled out a few packages of bologna.]

Ronnie Anne: "Besides, from what he's getting, he's a total...load of baloney."

[She then opened the package and took out one piece of bologna before throwing it at one of the mansion windows like a frisbee before proceeding to do the same with the other pieces in the package.]

[After about a minute, the front doors suddenly opened and Lord Tetherby walked out onto the porch.]

Tetherby: "I say! What are you lower-class hoodlums doing to my mansion?!"

[In response, the two kids got on their boards and proceeded to skate away. But not before Ronnie Anne flashed her middle finger while shouting an insult at the pompous millionaire.]

Ronnie Anne: "That's for leaving Lincoln on the streets you fat ass miser!"

[Ronnie Anne laughed as she and Lincoln skated away, leaving behind a very angry Tetherby.]

Tetherby: "Why you vulgar little rapscallion! Maren, release the hounds!"

[With that, a couple of Dobermans raced out of the mansion, barking furiously and giving chase for Lincoln and Ronnie Anne. The two kids looked behind them and yelled, prompting them to panically skate as fast as their legs would let them.]

Lincoln: "This isn't the first time I was chased by dogs, you know!"

Ronnie Anne: "I kinda figured as such! Let's just keep going!"

[As the kids kept skating, one of the front wheels on Lincoln's board suddenly came undone. Lincoln balanced on the board as it started wobbling, hoping to avoid a crash. However, Ronnie Anne grabbed Lincoln's hand and dragged him onto her board, just as the other one swerved onto the road where it was smashed to pieces by a passing car. Lincoln wrapped his arms around Ronnie Anne's waist to keep himself from falling off.]

Lincoln: "Thanks, Ronnie Anne!"

Ronnie Anne: "No problem, Lame-O!"

Lincoln: "Can your board take the weight?!"

Ronnie Anne: "Don't worry about it, Lincoln! I've tuned this baby up to eleven!"

[Finally, the dogs ran out of breath and stopped running. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne laughed and gave each other a high-five as they went further away from the tired dogs. The Dobermans simply gave the kids one more bark before turning around and heading back to their master's home.]

That evening, outside of Liam's farm...

[After skating through town for hours, the two kids had arrived outside of Liam's farm to catch their breath.]

Lincoln: "Hey...thanks again, Ronnie Anne."

Ronnie Anne: "Don't mention... I wasn't gonna let you turn into dogmeat, was I?"

Lincoln: "Of course not. To be honest, that was kind of fun. Glad you decided to add that one on the list."

[The two kids then got off the board and made their way up to the farmhouse.]

Lincoln: "Sorry about your other board, though."

Ronnie Anne: "Don't sweat it, Lame-O. I can always get you another one."

Lincoln: "Me?"

Ronnie Anne: "Consider it my Valentine's gift to you."

[Ronnie Anne booped her index finger on Lincoln's nose and he blushed.]

[As they made it to the house, Lincoln walked up to the front door and knocked on it. After about twenty seconds, the door opened and there was Liam's Mee-maw.]

Mee-Maw: "Well, howdy there, youngins. What can I do fer ya?"

Lincoln: "We just stopped by to take a load off. Is Liam home?"

Mee-Maw: "Naw, ah reckon he's off spendin' some quality time with Tabby. But yer welcome to hang 'round the barn fer a lil' bit if ya like. Besides, ah could use some extra hands while Liam's away."

Ronnie Anne: "Thanks, Ma'am."

[With that, Mee-Maw led the two kids to the barn.]

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne worked in the barn for about an hour, collecting chicken eggs, filling the troughs, cleaning up after the animals, the usual.]

[It was almost evening and the two twelve-year-olds were taking a break outside of the barn.]

Lincoln: "Whew! This is hard work."

Ronnie Anne: "Yeah, but you'll get used to it after a while."

Lincoln: "I know, but it gets pretty boring when you have nothing to do but stand here."

[Lincoln began to pace around just to pass the time, but then he slipped and fell face first in the mud. Ronnie Anne laughed at the sight as Lincoln got his face free.]

[As soon as she had finished laughing, the young Latina walked over to Lincoln and extended her hand to him.]

Ronnie Anne: "Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud, Lame-O."

[Lincoln let out a playful smirk and grabbed Ronnie Anne's hand, only to suddenly pull her down into the mud with him.]

Lincoln: "Who's a stick-in-the-mud now?"

[Lincoln laughed.]

Lincoln: "Oh, it's on now!"

[The two kids spent the rest of their break playing mud ball fights. They both either chased each other or took cover behind the various areas of the farm.]

[Finally, after about five minutes of playing, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne laid on the grass laughing.]

Ronnie Anne: "Holy shit, that was awesome!"

[As soon as they were finished, they stared up at the evening sky.]

Lincoln: "Wow...the sky's beautiful tonight, isn't it?"

Ronnie Anne: "Lincoln, are you getting all mushy again?"

Lincoln: "No! I just think it looks nice."

Ronnie Anne: "You know...I really had fun today."

Lincoln: "Yeah...me too..."

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne looked into each other's eyes.]

[Just then, the alarm on Lincoln's watch went off.]

Lincoln: "We better get back home or Mom will have a fit."

Ronnie Anne: "Good idea."

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne got up and ran to find their skateboard. Once they got it, the two kids skated back to the Loud House.]

Meanwhile, at the Loud House...

[Bobby and Chaz were sitting on the couch dressed in tuxedos waiting for Lori and Leni, who were upstairs getting ready. The two guys were also wearing bow ties on their necks that were in the colors of their respective dates. Luna, Luan, and Lynn had already left for their positions at the prom. Lucy was also downstairs holding her father's old camera as she wanted to get a picture of the two couples when the girls arrived.]

Chaz: "How much longer, Bobby?"

Bobby: "Hopefully not too long now. You can thank Leni for delivering your suit."

Chaz: "Yeah. I just don't know what I'd do without her."

[Chaz then leaned over to Bobby and whispered into his ear.]

Chaz: "By the way... Do you have the gift, Bob?"

Bobby: "Of course I do, Chaz. No way am I ending this special night without a little special something for Lori."

[Chaz smirked at his friend.]

Chaz: "Always the supportive bae, aren't ya?"

[Chaz playfully nudged Bobby's ribs with his elbow before the Hispanic semi-adult let out a small chuckle in response.]

Bobby: "And why not? It's the day of amour, isn't it?"

Chaz: "Yeah."

"Hello, boys."

[The two boys turned their attention towards the stairs. There were Lori and Leni, walking down the stairs wearing dresses that you'd see from an animated musical-fantasy movie. Bobby and Chaz were quite astonished by their girlfriends' attire. Lori was wearing a baby blue dress with a corsage on her wrist, while Leni was in a turquoise dress and her own corsage as well. Lori's hair was wrapped up in a ponytail while Leni's remained the same. Lori's dress was also modified to fit her stomach. Both girls were also wearing lipstick. As soon as they reached the bottom of the steps, Lori and Leni walked over to their boyfriends and twirled around.]

Leni: "Well?"

Lori: "How do we look?"

[Bobby and Chaz kept staring at the girls before giving each other a brief look and back at the girls.]

Bobby: "Like a princess, babe."

Chaz: "Two words...Chaz...like! And I mean Chaz REALLY like!"

[Lori and Leni giggled at one another in response to their boyfriends' compliments before taking their seats next to them. Lucy stood in front of the couple and aimed her camera right at them.]

Lucy: "Alright, lovers. Get ready."

[With that, the four teens posed for the shot and Lucy took it.]

[As soon as enough pictures were taken, Lori, Leni, Bobby, and Chaz went outside and waited on the porch for their ride to arrive before Lucy followed suit. Just then, Vanzilla had arrived from Bangers & Mosh before pulling into the driveway. Almost immediately, Lynn Sr. got out along with his wife, both dressed in their formal wear.]

Lynn Sr.: "Oh, thank God we made it!"

[It was quite clear that Mr. and Mrs. Loud didn't want to miss their two eldest children going to prom for anything.]

[Just then, they heard the neigh of a horse. However, to their surprise, what pulled up in front of the Loud House wasn't a limousine, but a beautiful carriage that was about as long as a limo being pulled by four horses and guided by a familiar face. It was Kirby, the driver of a limo that Lincoln once had for a day, dressed as a royal coachman. Everyone was either surprised or astonished at this.]

Rita: "Well, I'll be ding-danged."

Kirby: "Woah now, boys!"

[As soon as the carriage stopped, Kirby got off onto the driveway and tipped his cap at the girls.]

Kirby: "Greetings, fair maidens. I will be your driver for this special night."

Leni: "Kirby the limo driver?"

Lori: "When did you learn with horses?"

Kirby: "My dad used to be a horse trainer, and he taught me the ropes when I was a kid...no pun intended."

[Kirby then walked over to the carriage door before opening it. As if on cue, Carol stepped out in a fancy purple dress and lipstick followed by her boyfriend, Errol, clad in a prince's uniform.]

Carol: "Hey, you guys!"

Lori: "Carol, what is this?"

Carol: "I bet you were expecting a limo, weren't you? Well, since this prom is going medieval, I figured what would be more appropriate transportation than a fancy horse-drawn carriage?"

Lori: "But, how are you able to-?"

Carol: "I used some of my inheritance to rent it."

Lori: "Right."

[Lori then looked at her goth sister.]

Lori: "You got the camera ready, Luce?"

Lucy: "It's been ready, Lori."

[Lori said no more as she and Bobby walked hand in hand towards the carriage before standing in front of it. Chaz then walked over to Leni and extended his hand to her.]

Chaz: "Shall we, m'lady?"

[Leni blushed, giggled and happily accepted the stout teen's hand.]

Leni: "Such a gentleman."

[Chaz and Leni joined Lori and Bobby in front of the carriage. Lynn Sr. began weeping his eyes out at the scene before Rita comforted her husband and guided him over to the porch before both of them sat on the steps.]

[Lucy then got her camera ready and aimed it at Lori and Bobby before snapping the first photo. Lucy then took the photo and looked over it.]

Lori: "So, how do we look?"

Lucy: "Like a picture of complete eternity."

[Lori smiled with delight while she held Bobby's hand.]

[Just then, Leni and Chaz came into the shot and put on their best pose before Lucy took the picture.]

"Don't forget about us!"

[Then, emerging from the carriage were Becky and Tad. The redhead was wearing a blue dress and lipstick while Tad was in a tux.]

Leni: "Becky!"

[With that, the two girls gave each other a hug. Becky then broke from the hug before she and her boyfriend stood in front of Lucy, and the goth girl gladly took their picture.]

[Carol and Errol were last in the line of couple pictures and Lucy took the shot. Lucy then took a few more shots, some with just the girls, some with just the boys, and the last ones with the entire group.]

Carol: "Alright, Cinderellas and Prince Charmings! We better get going!"

Lucy: "You all enjoy yourselves. I have my own rendezvous with Rocky at the cemetery tonight."

[With that, the whole group got back into the carriage. Lori, Bobby, Carol, and Errol sat on one end of the carriage while Leni, Chaz, Becky, and Tad sat on the other. Kirby got back onto the carriage and urged for the horses to go.]

Kirby: "Giddyup, boys!"

[With that, the carriage trotted away towards Royal Woods High. Lucy then made her way towards the Royal Woods Cemetery. At that moment, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne had arrived back home.]

Rita: "Where have you two been? You're just a few minutes late. Also, you both look like you've been mud wrestling."

Lincoln: "Sorry, mom. We took the scenic route."

[Lynn Sr. wiped his eyes as he was fresh out of tears.]

Lynn Sr.: "It's okay, son. Just promise that you'll call us next time you come home late... Understood?"

Lincoln: "We will, dad."

Rita: "Now, come on inside. You two are getting a bath this very minute!"

[Without hesitation, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne followed Rita and Lynn Sr. back into the house. As soon as they walked through the front door, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne noticed a small black box on the couch. Ronnie Anne picked it up and was tempted to open it when Lincoln stopped her.]

Lincoln: "Wait a minute, Ronnie Anne!"

[Lincoln then leaned forward and whispered into Ronnie Anne's ear.]

Lincoln: "That could be Bobby's. I think it's best if we return it to him."

[Ronnie Anne looked back at the box for a brief moment before she nodded in agreement.]

Ronnie Anne: "Well, Lame-O, it looks like we'll be staying out much later than we planned...if you know what I mean?"

[Ronnie Anne raised her eyebrow at Lincoln as soon as she finished.]

Rita: "Kids! The bath is ready!"

Lincoln: "Maybe we should take our bath first."

[Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes.]

Ronnie Anne: "Fine... Let's just hope it's a quick one."

Meanwhile...

[As the carriage made its way down the road, the girls gossiped with each other.]

Carol: "So, did you guys hear about Denis?"

[Denis was another one of Whitney's friends along with Moniqua. However, ever since Moniqua was sent to jail, Denis decided to just leave Bobby and Lori alone as it wouldn't be worth trying to do what Whitney and Moniqua did to them. Denis even offered to join Carol's social group...but only if she could prove that she really has changed for the better. As a result, she had been making some progress as part of Carol's prom committee.]

Lori: "Yeah... Though, to be honest, the last thing I'd expect her to do is break all ties with Whitney."

Leni: "I think she's making a really smart choice here."

Lori: "I hope so. I literally can't have anyone else going after me at school just because I'm eating for two at this age."

Becky: "She's right. After everything that happened with Whitney and Moniqua these past few months, I don't think Denis would even dare to try and do anything stupid. I don't care what anyone else thinks, you're going to be a great mom."

Lori: "Thanks, you guys. I'm glad I still got friends on my side. Just try not to end up like me."

Carol: "Hey, now! Errol and I prefer to wait until we graduate at least."

[Lori smirked.]

Lori: "Of course."

[The girls kept on gossiping for the whole trip. Mostly about the changes done to the school and the possibility of Oliver becoming the permanent principal of Royal Woods High.]

[Finally, the carriage had arrived in front of Royal Woods High School.]

Kirby: "Here we are, kids! The Prom of Thrones!"

[Kirby then got off the carriage and opened the door for the group.]

Carol: "Well guys, we're here! So who's ready to have some fun?"

[The rest of the group nodded, and two by two, they got out of the carriage. First was Carol and Errol, followed by Becky and Tad, then Leni and Chaz, and finally Lori and Bobby. Kirby got back on the carriage and went to find somewhere to park it. The group of eight then walked up to the front doors of the school before going right through them.]

[The prom was being held in the school's football field outside, so the group headed there. On the way to the back doors, they passed by a few posters and signs in the hallways. On them was a picture of Lori along with the saying Vote Lori Loud for prom queen, or Bobby x Lori 4 king and queen complete with a picture of the two smiling. Lori was quite surprised that there are those who want to vote for her, aside from her friends and family, of course.]

Carol: "Seems you and Bobby have grown quite a reputation since Moniqua's expulsion, Lori."

Lori: "I've noticed."

[As the group walked towards the back doors, Chunk and Lynn, dressed as royal castle guards, blocked the way using wooden spears.]

Chunk: "Halt in the name of the Principal!"

Tad: "What's all this?"

Lynn: "Standard school procedures, Tadpole. We have to make sure no one tries anything to ruin this prom."

Chunk: "That means we're not allowing anyone out there who's not on the list. Now state your business."

Carol: "We're on the list, Chunk. Just check it for a moment and see."

[Chunk checked the list and saw the names on it. First Carol, then Errol, Becky, Tad, Leni, Chaz, Lori, and finally Bobby.]

Chunk: "Alright, you're all in."

Carol: "Thank you."

[The group were ready to head in when Lynn stopped them.]

Lynn: "Woah! Wait a minute, guys! I'm gonna have to search you all for contraband before you go dancing."

Chaz: "Uh... Contraband?"

[Lynn proceeded to search the eight teens, starting with Carol. As she got to Leni, she spoke to her.]

Leni: "Like, is this necessary?"

Lori: "Uh, duh? Don't you guys remember what happened at Carol's Halloween party?"

Leni: "Oh right."

[Carol bit her lower lip when she heard that conversation. Errol held his girlfriend's hand for comfort.]

[When Lynn checked over Chaz, she felt something in his right pocket like some kind of small package. The stout kid nervously rolled his eyes left and right as Lynn started glaring at him suspiciously, unsure of what his intentions were. But the athlete simply walked over to Bobby and Lori to finish up her check before turning her attention to her eldest sister's baby bump before giving it a light nudge with her elbow.]

Lynn: "Hey there, little slugger. Betcha can't wait to come out of there, can ya?"

[Lori gave a small smile as Lynn gave her stomach a light nudge with her elbow so as to not hurt the baby. Lynn then cleared her throat and spoke up.]

Lynn: "Alright, looks like you're all clean. By the way, we double checked the food and drinks, so there's no need to worry about drugs or anything."

Becky: "That's good to hear."

Chunk: "Right this way, mates and maidens."

[Lynn and Chunk moved aside and allowed the group to go through the back doors. The whole area was decorated in a way that looked like the town square of a medieval village, complete with a stage styled like a castle, and it was packed with teens dressed in medieval-style formal wear, courtesy of Leni of course. Luna and Sam, who were dressed up as minstrels, were up on the stage playing lutes while most of the patrons danced. There were even a few stalls and tents near the ends of the field as the full moon shined over the area. The setup was almost something of a mix between a renaissance faire and a royal ball...with a few modern liberties, of course.]

Lori: "Oh my God, this place is literally amazing!"

Bobby: "Couldn't agree more."

Chaz: "Yeah! Chaz like!"

Carol: "What do you guys say we have some fun?"

[Everyone agreed and joined the others on the field. At that moment, the music stopped and everyone clapped and cheered as Luan and Benny walked onto the stage dressed as jesters. The brace-toothed teen walked up to the microphone and spoke into it.]

Luan: "Hey, everybody! Nice to be back here. How are you all doing on this fine day?"

[The crowd spoke amongst each other before Luan spoke again.]

Luan: "That's good, because I hope all you girls out there have a wonderful knight at the Prom of Thrones!"

[Luan laughed as the sound of a drum cue went off behind the curtain.]

[The audience clapped for Luan's statement, but then she started to tell a joke.]

Luan: "Say, Benny, did you hear the story about that dragon?"

Benny: "I don't know, Luan. Why not tell them the story about the dragon?"

Luan: "I'd rather not, actually. 'Cause I have a feeling it might DRAG ON all night!"

[Luan and Benny struck a pose with jazz hands while the drum cue played again. However, instead of laughter, all that filled the room was silence along with a few coughs and unimpressed looks on the audience's faces. Not that it was of any surprise to Luan since she was pretty much used to that in school.]

Benny: "Sheesh... Tough crowd."

Luan: "Yeah, no kidding... And now, here's my sister Luna Loud and her band, the Moon Goats!"

[With that, the curtain opened and there was Luna and her bandmates performing again. This time, with their usual rock and roll instruments. Luna and Sam were on their guitars while George and Ruth were on keyboard and drums, respectively.]

Luna: "HELLO ROYAL WOODS HIGH! Sorry about my sister's bogus dragon joke, but I hope you're all having a rockin' time here at the Prom of Thrones!"

[Cheers, hoots and hollers could be heard in the crowd.]

Luna: "We've had our fill of merry minstrel music, but let's see if we can turn it up a notch! NOW ARE YOU ALL READY TO ROCK THIS PROM INSIDE OUT?!"

[The patrons cheered for Luna.]

Luna: "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

[The crowd cheered louder in response.]

Luna: "ALRIGHT! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!"

[As Luna and the band began to rock out, everyone was having a good time for about an hour, enjoying some good food, some dancing, even chatting about trivial stuff. Of course, Lori gorged herself a little on the food due to her hormones, especially the chocolate cake. Bobby was told by Lincoln about how Lori and the rest of his sisters were chocoholics.]

Bobby: "Please be careful, babe. You could leave the others with none."

[Lori paid her boyfriend no mind as she happily munched on her piece of cake. She felt like she was in heaven before she felt another kick in her stomach. It was clear to both Bobby and Lori that their baby was enjoying the cake as well.]

[She opened her eyes and saw a tent nearby with a sign above the entrance that read: FORTUNATE FUTURES.]

Lori: "They have a fortune teller at the prom? Bobby, we literally have to check it out!"

[Bobby shrugged and accompanied his girlfriend into the tent. When they sat down, the fortune teller turned to look at them, revealing a familiar face.]

Lori: "Principal Rivers?"

Rivers: "Surprised? And by the way, it's Madame Rivers now."

Bobby: "Aren't you banned from the school?"

Rivers: "Yeah...but Oliver convinced the school board to let me take this role. Besides, I think I've found my new calling in life."

[Lori and Bobby looked at each other for a moment, not sure what to think.]

Lori: "Okay...? So what can you tell us about our future?"

[Rivers put her middle and index fingers on her temple and rubbed it as she started to think.]

Rivers: "I see... I think I see...a boy...and a girl...and another boy... A baby boy, to be exact."

[Bobby and Lori looked at each other and smiled, knowing full well what their former principal meant: They were just about close to having their baby. However, while Rivers was checking her ball, another vision came into her mind.]

Rivers: "Wait a minute... I'm getting something else... It looks like... Oh my God!"

[The couple looked at their former principal with concern.]

Bobby: "What is it?"

Rivers: "I'm getting another vision. A couple of them, in fact. And it seems like they're going to happen very soon..."

Lori: "What are you talking about?"

[Rivers' eyes remained shut as she thought.]

Rivers: "Well, I can't quite make it out, but... I see two people...a man and a woman...and it looks like they have a large army following them... They're all being led by someone else... It looks like another man, but he's...HUGE!"

Bobby: A huge man? With another man and woman? Leading an army? Could it...? No! It can't be.

Lori: "Who is this man?"

Rivers: "I can't tell, unfortunately. It's so dark that I can't even picture his face. I'm not sure if he even has a face. But now I'm getting something else."

[Bobby and Lori didn't want to believe any of it, but they kept watching Rivers.]

Rivers: "The two men, the women, and their army are holding a group of people as hostages, Lori! A whole family of them, in fact! They even have you and Bobby as well!"

Lori: "Oh my God! What would they want with us?"

Rivers: "I don't know, but whatever they're planning, it must be something big, and it must involve you and your family! And not in a good way."

[Bobby held Lori's hand.]

Rivers: "But what's this? Bobby, I see you... You're breaking free from your bindings and going through hell and high water to protect the ones you love."

[Bobby started to think to himself.]

Bobby: Protect the ones I love? Mr. Dupree told me something about this before. Could all this be visions of things to come? Maybe not.

Rivers: "Hold on a minute! I see something else! It looks like a child...a little girl in fact...and...she's got a weapon!"

[Bobby and Lori gasped in shock.]

Rivers: "Yes! She's aiming it directly at that huge man from before!"

Bobby: "What?! I-Is she going to kill him?"

Rivers: "She's gonna... I think she's gonna..."

[And just like that, Rivers' vision went blank.]

Rivers: "I... I'm sorry. The ball shows nothing from this point. I don't know what's going to happen, but...you and your whole family might be in terrible danger, Lori. Something is coming for you. Something big and something REALLY bad."

[Lori suddenly stood up and took her boyfriend's hand.]

Lori: "Okay, I think we've literally heard enough."

Rivers: "You both watch yourselves out there!"

[The couple emerged from the tent and walked back to their table.]

Lori: "Wow! That was literally freaky."

Bobby: "I know! Who knew she could see into our future?"

Lori: "You don't believe this, do you? I mean, this group coming after us in the future? A little girl with a weapon? That's probably just medium talk."

Bobby: "Well, what if she's right?"

Lori: "Well, whether it's true or not, Rivers has clearly lost her mind."

[Just then, Chaz walked up to the table.]

Chaz: "Bobby, can I steal you for a second?"

[Bobby looked at his girlfriend, who simply rolled her eyes.]

Bobby: "Sure! It's alright."

[Lori then wobbled over to the punch bowl while Chaz sat next to Bobby.]

Bobby: "Go right ahead, amigo."

[Chaz looked around, making sure that no one else was nearby. He then leaned towards Bobby's ear and whispered into it.]

Chaz: "I'm officially thinking about taking the next step with Leni tonight."

[Bobby thought for a moment on what Chaz meant until it hit him.]

Bobby: "Ohohohoho! You big boy!"

[Bobby laughed as he wrapped one arm around Chaz's head and then knuckled rubbed it with the other.]

Chaz: "Thanks, but how do you think she'll react?"

Bobby: "I'm not quite sure, to be honest."

Chaz: "Well, if she says no, I'll be okay with it."

[Bobby then leaned towards Chaz's ear and whispered into it.]

Bobby: "But if she says yes, remember what I told you about condoms, okay?"

Chaz: "Got it, man. I'm surprised that Lynn didn't blow the whistle about them."

Lori: "Boo-Boo Bear?"

Bobby: "I better go, Chaz. My princess needs me."

[With that, Bobby walked over to Lori, who was waiting by the punch bowl.]

Lori: "I'm a little afraid of trying this punch. What if someone managed to sneak something in it?"

Bobby: "Babe, you heard Lynn. She and Chunk have checked it over."

Lori: "I know, but..."

Bobby: "Tell you what. I'll taste it for you."

Lori: "You will? But what if you start acting tipsy?"

Bobby: "Then that's why you're going to be with me this time."

[Bobby poured himself a cup and took a few sips while Lori watched anxiously.]

Lori: "Well? How are you feeling? Any strange aftertaste."

Bobby: "I'm...feeling fine. No weird side effects or anything."

Lori: "Oh good. I guess Lynn and Chunk did do a good job."

[With that, Lori took a cup while her boyfriend poured her some punch. The two then walked back to their table with the cups.]

[As they were almost at the table, someone bumped into Lori, causing the girl to spill the punch on her chest.]

Lori: "Ah! What the hell?!"

"Oh my God! I am SO so sorry, Lori! I wasn't looking where I was going. You're not mad at me, are you?"

[Lori looked over at the person responsible for spilling her drink as she did her best to dry her dress. Lori was about ready to yell at her, but Bobby rubbed her shoulders to pacify her. Lori took a deep breath and calmly responded to the blonde girl.]

Lori: "It's fine, Denis. I know you didn't mean it."

Denis: "Oh, thank God. It's just...I'm really trying my hardest to be friendly with you. I mean, I know I haven't been very nice earlier but-"

Lori: "Don't beat yourself over this, please. Anyway, where's the washroom?"

Denis: "It's right by the stands."

Lori: "Thanks."

[With Bobby by her side, Lori headed for the restrooms to clean her dress.]

[Luan, who had noticed the incident happen, decided to make a joke with Mr. Coconuts, who was also dressed as a jester.]

Mr. Coconuts: "Yeesh! For a minute, I thought your sister was going to share a little PUNCH with Denis!"

[Luan laughed while being met with the same silence from earlier.]

Luan: "That's a good PUNCH line, Mr. Coconuts!"

[No response.]

[Mr. Dupree, who was standing somewhere in the crowd, simply planted his hand over his eyes and sighed.]

Benny: "Anyway, here's another song from the Moon Goats!"

[With that, the curtains closed, and then opened again to reveal Luna and the band, who started performing again. The tune was upbeat and whimsical, and the patrons were dancing around to the music. Nobody knew why Principal Rivers thought of this theme and why Oliver decided to continue on with it after his former superior's firing.]

[As this was going on, Chaz was sitting at another table having a chat with Leni and Becky.]

Chaz: "Did you read the latest Ace Savvy issue?"

Leni: "Can't say that I have, Chaz. But maybe Lincoln has?"

Chaz: "Oh, you should've seen it! They introduce this new villain who has a huge vendetta against Ace Savvy and the Full House, especially the High Card!"

Leni: "Oh, really? I wonder why?"

Chaz: "That I'd rather not say. You just have to see for yourself."

Tad: "Does it have aliens in it?"

Chaz: "Like I said, you'll have to see it to find out."

Becky: "Maybe I'll show it to Tad sometime."

Leni: "Like, I didn't know you were into that sort of thing, Beck."

[Meanwhile, Bobby was waiting for Lori outside of the bathroom, but he was feeling a little impatient.]

Bobby: "Jeez, what's taking so long? Does she need to relieve herself all of a sudden?"

[Just then, he heard retching coming from the bathroom. Bobby recognized the voice of the person making those noises.]

[Bobby felt like he needed to go in there and see if she was okay, but he knew that he shouldn't.]

"You're not actually thinking about going in there, are you?"

[Bobby turned his head to the source of the voice to see Mr. Dupree.]

Bobby: "Oh hey, Mr. Dupree. Lori's just going through another one of her bathroom runs."

Mr. Dupree: "Yeah, I remember when my wife used to have these trips while she was expecting."

[Mr. Dupree sighed as he leaned his back against the wall by the door.]

Mr. Dupree: "Those were happier times back then."

Bobby: "I can imagine."

Mr. Dupree: "Now...I heard Rivers rambling about in that little tent of hers, and personally, I don't really buy it at all. Well, I mean psychics think they can look into the future just to make a quick buck."

Bobby: "But, Rivers never really charged us anything."

Mr. Dupree: "Just hear me out for a moment, okay? Rivers was never really meant to be a principal in the first place, from what I've heard. I mean doesn't her attire say that?"

Bobby: "Well yeah."

Mr. Dupree: "What I'm trying to say is you'll only know when something is coming based on facts and not fiction. That's how I was taught in my CIA days."

Bobby: "I can see that."

Mr. Dupree: "Well, I think I better get back to the field, you just stay where you are. I think Lori will be out soon."

Bobby: "Okay then."

[Mr. Dupree started to walk back to the field. But then he stopped to say something else.]

Mr. Dupree: "Don't forget...the future is only predicted by the facts."

[With that, Mr. Dupree headed back to the field while Bobby remained where he was.]

[Back on the field, Denis sat at her table playing with her food. Just then, she was approached by someone.]

"How are you doing, Denis?"

[Denis looked up and saw Carol.]

Denis: "I'm fine."

[The class president then sat across from Denis.]

Carol: "I saw what happened between you and Lori. Honestly, I'm quite surprised that she took it well."

Denis: "Yeah, well I guess it's because she had Bobby with her. I just know she would've socked me if he hadn't stepped in. Not that I don't deserve it."

Carol: "Let's not think too hard about this, okay? You remember what you did when Whitney and Moniqua acted out, didn't you?"

Denis: "Yeah."

[Denis thought back to that day.]

Four weeks ago, on the high school grounds...

[It was during recess at Royal Woods High and Denis decided to spend it by hanging around the school grounds. Just then, she came across Whitney and Moniqua who were standing by the basketball court.]

Denis: "Oh! Hey you guys! What's going on?"

Whitney: "Come with us, Denis."

[Denis was confused, but decided to follow her two friends to a private location by the school.]

Denis: "What is this about, Whitney?"

Whitney: "This can't keep going on!"

Denis: "What are you talking about?"

Whitney: "It's Carol! I swear to God, she's been a real pain in my ass ever since she told everyone about what happened at that Halloween party!"

Denis: "Whitney, it's been four months. Why don't you just move on?"

Whitney: "No way, Denis! We're getting back at her right this second! And you're going to help us!"

[Whitney pointed her finger at Denis as she said that last sentence.]

Denis: "Me?"

Moniqua: "That's right, girl."

[Denis was feeling quite perplexed at what the other blonde said. She stared at her two friends for a few seconds before giving them her reply.]

Denis: "No! Why should I trust you guys?"

[Whitney moved her eyes left to right before leaning over to Denis' ear and whispering into it.]

Whitney: "I'll tell you what... You help me and Moniqua with this, and I will give you fifty dollars for a new pair of earrings... How does that sound?"

[Denis bit her lip and rubbed her arm. She was still considering denying this little proposition.]

[Whitney then walked over to Denis and put her hands on her shoulders.]

Whitney: "Listen to me, Denis. It's just going to be a harmless little prank, nothing too extreme... You trust me and Moniqua on this...right?"

[Denis knew that she shouldn't...she knew that she should just turn around and walk away...but out of curiosity, she just had to see where this goes. The blonde teen took a deep breath and gave Whitney her answer.]

Denis: "I...okay...I guess?"

[Whitney and Moniqua both patted Denis on her shoulders in satisfaction.]

Moniqua: "Good choice, girl."

Whitney: "We'll do it tomorrow. Pretty soon, the most popular girl in high school is going to look like nothing but a total slut."

[With that, the three teens went their separate ways. Denis looked down at the ground in shame, wondering if she made the right call.]

The next day...

[The group were hiding behind a wall outside of the school. Whitney looked from behind the wall and saw Carol walking down the path with a few books held to her chest. As soon as the blonde girl was in their sight, Whitney called out.]

Whitney: "NOW!"

[With that, Whitney and Moniqua came out of their hiding spot and tackled Carol to the ground. The books fell to the ground as Carol dropped them. Whitney stood up while Moniqua kept Carol pinned down.]

Carol: "What the hell is this?!"

Whitney: "You spoiled cunt! Everything was all fine and dandy until you decided to open your big fat mouth! I should've given this to you months ago!"

[With that, Whitney lifted Carol's skirt, exposing her white panties with little hearts on them.]

Whitney: "Well, isn't that just cute? Trying to show off for that emo Errol? I'm sure the whole school would want to see that. You have your camera ready, Denis?"

[Denis slowly shook her head while her face showed a look of uncertainty as she aimed her phone at Carol. Whitney then raised her hand and started spanking Carol's rear end with the back of said hand. The class president yelled as she felt the stinging pain in both of her cheeks increase with each slap. Denis was horrified at the sight and finally had enough.]

Denis: "What the fuck, you guys?! This wasn't what I was told!"

Whitney: "Come on, Denis! Where's your nerve all of a sudden?"

Moniqua: "Yeah! Pingrey here needs to face the consequences of her actions!"

[Feeling an overwhelming feeling of shock and disgust, Denis ran from the scene. Whitney noticed this and yelled out at her.]

Whitney: "Where the hell do you think you're going?!"

[Denis didn't answer as she ran until she was out of sight.]

Whitney: "Oh sure, Denis! Go ahead and run like a scared little girl!"

Moniqua: "Yeah! You fraidy cat!"

[Whitney turned back at Carol, who was still pinned down to the floor with her butt in the air as she tearfully pleaded.]

Carol: "Stop it! Let me go!"

Whitney: "Fuck that, Pingrey! You have been a thorn on my side for far too long! And now you're going to get what you deserve!"

[Whitney then took out her cell phone and aimed it at Carol's hand-slapped rear end before snapping a picture.]

Whitney: "Oh, I think this will be a juicy piece to show to everyone. Unless you're willing to admit you're not so tough?"

[Whitney then gave Carol a few more slaps to her behind.]

Whitney: "You still feel high and mighty, bitch?! Huh?!"

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"

[Whitney froze for a few seconds before slowly turning her head to the source of the voice. Standing there was Mrs. Bernardo, accompanied by Denis. Whitney quickly stood up right in front of Carol as if she were pathetically trying to hide her.]

Whitney: "Oh, Mrs. Bernardo! What's going on?"

Mrs. Bernardo: "Do my eyes deceive me?! Or are you two assaulting the class president with such wholesale SAVAGERY?!"

Whitney: "Uhhh..."

Moniqua: "It was all her idea!"

[Moniqua pointed at her friend as she said that, much to Whitney's shock.]

Whitney: "What?"

Moniqua: "Yeah! She forced me to do it! She blackmailed me! This wasn't what I wanted!"

[Moniqua covered her eyes as she cried crocodile tears.]

Whitney: "Oh, you cowardly bitch!"

[Mrs. Bernardo raised her hand at the two girls to quiet them down.]

Mrs. Bernardo: "Enough! I shall report this to principal Rivers at once!"

Moniqua: "But, Mrs. Bernardo-"

Mrs. Bernardo: "No buts, girls! And definitely no SPANKING of butts either! I have seen a LOT of horrors in my life, but NEVER have I seen such a PERVERSE display of MADNESS as YOURS!"

[Mrs. Bernardo pointed her finger furiously at Whitney and Moniqua, who looked at each other with uncertainty.]

Mrs. Bernardo: "Mark my words, Whitney Whetta! You and Palmer WILL be expelled for this! I SWEAR IT!"

[And with that, the drama teacher turned around and started to leave. Whitney and Moniqua stood up and followed Mrs. Bernardo. The blonde girl flashed one more glare at Denis before she and Moniqua were out of sight.]

[Denis simply stood there and rubbed her arm as she looked away from her former friends.]

Denis: I'm sorry.

[Once Principal Rivers was informed of the incident, Whitney was expelled from Royal Woods High School and was forced to go to another school in Huntington Oaks. Moniqua was also questioned for her role in the incident, but because of her position as hall monitor, as well as her father being in the Royal Woods Police Department, Rivers and Oliver decided to let her off with a warning for now...much to the dismay of Carol and Mrs. Bernardo.]

[Carol watched Whitney being driven away by her parents as Errol stood by her side with a look of anger.]

[Denis rubbed her arm as she watched the car drive away. She was then snapped out of her thoughts when she felt something hit her arm.]

Moniqua: "See what you've done, Denis? You just made the biggest mistake of your life."

[Denis simply turned her head away in response.]

Denis: "I don't care, Moniqua. What Whitney did was just horrible. And I'm proud to be speaking against you both!"

Moniqua: "Enjoy it while you can, fink! Because you're gonna regret the day you ever opened your mouth."

Denis: "Not if someone puts a stop to you first. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday...you're going to be eating those words!"

[Moniqua walked away in disgust. Carol looked over at Denis with a look of sympathy.]

Present day...

[Denis sighed as she finished reminiscing.]

Denis: "I never saw Whitney again after that. But last I heard, she ended up having to work at the Burpin' Burger in Huntington Oaks just to make ends meet."

Carol: "Well, that's what she gets for not taking her defeat seriously."

Denis: "But all the same, I've been wondering since then. Did I really make the right choice, Carol?"

Carol: "I'm sure that you did."

Denis: "But what about Moniqua? Lori wouldn't have failed her exam if I hadn't finked on Whitney."

Carol: "Now, wait a minute, Denis. Let's talk about this for a bit."

[Denis looked back at Carol as she took her hand.]

Carol: "None of this was your fault entirely. All that matters is that you saved me from a very humiliating situation. Besides, would things really turn out differently if you hadn't gotten Mrs. Bernardo?"

Denis: "Well...I'm not sure."

Carol: "Exactly. My point is that things might've turned out the same if you hadn't spoken up. Hell, they probably would've turned out WORSE if you didn't tell on Whitney."

[Denis thought for a moment. What if Whitney had been a part of Moniqua's plan to ruin Lori's future? Maybe it would've been the other way around? But that didn't matter anymore since both of them were out of the picture.]

Denis: "You know what? I think you're right. Thank you, Carol."

Carol: "It's my pleasure, Denis. Now how about you go and have some fun?"

[Denis nodded before getting back on the field.]

[Just then, Luan and Benny came onstage making an announcement.]

Luan: "Hear ye, hear ye! May we now present to you, his principal-ness, Hubert Oliver!"

[As if on cue, Principal Oliver came up onstage, dressed as a king, before taking a few bows at his students.]

Oliver: "Thank you, subjects! Now before I announce the prom king and queen for this year, I would like four couples to come up on stage."

[Oliver was then handed a ballot filled with cards. As soon as he took them out, he read them before pointing to the first couple.]

Oliver: "Our first contestants, Carol Pingrey and Errol Jimms."

[Carol and Errol looked at each other and went up on the stage.]

Oliver: "Up next, Becky Barker and Tad Tennyson."

[Becky and Tad went up the stage and joined Carol and Errol.]

Oliver: "Next, Leni Loud and Chaz Richard."

[Leni and Chaz went onto the stage.]

Oliver: "And finally, Lori Loud and Bobby Santiago."

[However, they all noticed that Bobby and Lori had not returned from the restrooms.]

Oliver: "Where are they?"

Carol: "I think I better go look for them. You wait here for me, sweetie."

[Carol gave her boyfriend a quick kiss on the cheek.]

Errol: "Alright, Care Bear."

[Carol blushed as she walked through the crowd towards the bathrooms.]

Meanwhile, outside the bathrooms...

[Carol had arrived outside the bathrooms where Bobby was still waiting.]

Carol: "Bobby, what's going on?"

Bobby: "It's probably her bladder acting up again. You know how it is."

[Carol sighed.]

Carol: "Not to say I've experienced that sort of thing, but you've got a point there. Just hang on a minute, I'll be back."

[She walked up to the door leading into the girls' bathroom and knocked on it.]

Carol: "Lori? Are you still in there?"

[There was no reply. Carol opened the door and went in. She heard some moaning coming from one of the stalls. Carol then walked over to the stall and stopped right beside the door. She hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door.]

Carol: "Lori? Is that you in there?"

[The moaning stopped.]

Lori: "Carol! What are you doing here?"

Carol: "I'm not even gonna ask what you were doing, nor do I want to see, but they're going to announce the king and queen of the prom! You and Bobby are attending."

Lori: "Oh, we are? Well, if I could guess, the names of the winners probably start with a C and E."

[Carol playfully rolled her eyes.]

Carol: "Can't you just come on stage anyway?"

Lori: "Okay! I'm coming! Just give me a minute, okay?"

[As soon as Lori got dressed, she rejoined Bobby and followed Carol back to the field. The couple then went onstage where Errol, Becky, Tad, Leni, and Chaz were. On two stands were the crowns that were going to go to the prom king and queen. Oliver then walked up to the microphone and made an announcement.]

Oliver: "Alright, it looks like everyone is here. Now, before I announce the king and queen of the Prom of Thrones, I would like to thank you all for being a part of this event. Most, if not all of you, had your chances to vote for this year's prom king and queen, and they've all been accounted for."

[The patrons clapped in response.]

Oliver: "And now for the moment you've all been waiting for. Luan...the envelope, if you please."

[Luan walked over to the de-facto principal and handed him the envelope, which he carefully opened before taking out the poll results.]

Oliver: "After careful consideration from the total amount of votes, the king and queen of the Prom of Thrones are..."

[Oliver looked over the total number of votes on the paper.]

Oliver: "Oh my goodness! It looks like we have a unanimous landslide vote!"

[Oliver cleared his throat before finishing his speech.]

Oliver: "For the first and only time at Royal Woods High, our King and Queen of the Prom of Thrones are... Bobby Santiago and Lori Loud!"

[Lori's eyes went wide with disbelief when she heard what the principal just said. She and Bobby are now queen and king of the prom? That was something that she could hardly believe.]

Lori: "W-we...we won?"

[Bobby put his hands on Lori's shoulders and looked into her eyes.]

Bobby: "We won, Babe! We actually won!"

[Lori felt like she was ready to cry her eyes out upon hearing those words.]

[Principal Oliver then picked up one of the crowns and called Bobby's name. The Latino walked over to Oliver, and the temporary principal placed the crown on top of Bobby's head. Oliver then took the tiara and presented it to Bobby.]

Oliver: "Might you have the honor of crowning your queen, your highness?"

[Bobby nodded as he took the crown from the de-facto principal before walking over to Lori, who couldn't contain the tears any longer.]

[Lori felt tears and mascara running down her eyes as Bobby placed the tiara on her head. Lori responded by wrapping her arms around Bobby's neck and kissing his lips. A lot of the patrons cheered for the newly elected prom king and queen. Once the couple's lips parted, Lori rested her head on Bobby's shoulder.]

Lori: "Best...night...of our...lives...literally..."

[Bobby and Lori looked each other in the eyes.]

Bobby: "Trust me, Babe. It's going to get even better from here."

[And with that, the two lovers kissed again in front of the cheering crowd. Just then, Lori felt a finger poking her back. She turned around and saw Carol smiling at her.]

Carol: "Congratulations, Lori."

[Carol opened her arms to her best friend, who was feeling a little confused. But the pregnant blonde returned the hug anyway. Leni and Becky then joined in on the hug as well.]

Leni: "I say this calls for one more photo!"

Luan: "Calls! Good one Leni!"

[The group of eight huddled together for one more photo before Leni snapped the picture. Luna and her band were also a part of the photo as well along with Luan and Benny.]

Luna: "Well, I'm glad with how this all turned out. Now, what do you say we end this night with a slow romantic song?"

[With that, the four couples got back on the dance floor with the others before Luna and Sam started to perform one more song to end the night. George started off by playing his keyboard.]

[Bobby looked at Lori and bowed her in a gentleman-like fashion.]

Bobby: "May I have this dance, my queen?"

[Lori happily took her boyfriend's hand without hesitation.]

Lori: "I would literally be honored, my king."

[As Bobby, Lori and the other patrons danced, Luna spoke into the microphone.]

Luna: "I'd like to personally dedicate this last song to our Prom King and Queen. Bobby-o and Lori-et, this one's for you."

[Luna winked at the couple and began to sing into the microphone.]

Sometimes, lonely nights turn into sunny days
I never thought I'd feel this way, I'd never knew
That you and I were meant to be in love

[Sam then took the mike and started to sing the next verse.]

Oh darling, you've always been around to see me through
How was I to know
You make my dreams come true?
Time and time again we fall, always on our own

[Both girls sang the next verse.]

But now we're friends in love
Hoping that we always will be friends in love
Stronger when together
Darling now we've got forever and a day
Don't you go away

[Lori felt like time was standing still as she and Bobby waltzed on the dance floor.]

[Sam then sang the next verse.]

Remember,
Every time I cried, you came to me
Oh much to my surprise
I found someone who could see me
Through the nights of loneliness
You were always there for me

We're friends in love
Hoping that we always will be friends in love
Stronger when together
Darling now we've got forever and a day
Don't you go away

[Lori and Bobby embraced as they continued to dance. Bobby then took a whiff of his girlfriend's hair, which had that same scent of coconut guava that he had grown accustomed to. Luna then began to sing the next verse.]

You turn around, looked my way
I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind
I'd loved you all along

And now we're leaving yesterday behind
We'll never be alone, oh

We're friends in love
Hoping that we always will be friends in love
Stronger when together
Darling now we've got forever and a day
Don't you go away

We're friends in love
Hoping that we always will be friends in love
Stronger when together
Darling now we've got forever and a day
Don't you go away

[With that, the performance ended and the patrons stopped dancing to applaud the band. It seems the Prom of Thrones had gone by with hardly any problems.]

[Just then, Luna yelled out one last thing to end the event.]

Luna: "ON BEHALF OF THE MOON GOATS, WE WANNA THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT! WE HOPE YOU HAD A ROCKIN' TIME AT THE PROM OF THRONES, 'CUZ THIS IS LUNA LOUD SAYIN' HAPPY V-TINES DAY TO YOU ALL AND GOOD NIGHT!"

[Luna and the rest of the band gave the crowd their usual peace signs as the curtain closed before them.]

After the prom...

[Everyone had left the school and headed back to their homes. The group of eight started heading back to the carriage to head home as well.]

Bobby: "Just wait for me, babe. I just have to check something real quick."

[Lori nodded before she entered the carriage. Bobby then put his hands in his pockets to check his gift to Lori. But as he felt around, he noticed something missing.]

Bobby: No! Don't tell me I lost it! Ay dios mio! This can't be happening right now! After such a wonderful night!

[Just before Bobby could have a panic attack, he heard a familiar voice call his name.]

"Bobby!"

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne ran up to him, feeling exhausted.]

Bobby: "Lincoln! Ronnie Anne! What are you guys doing here?"

Ronnie Anne: "Hey...*pant*...big bro..."

[Lincoln then reached into his pocket and pulled out the box.]

Lincoln: "You left this...*pant*...back at our house."

[Almost immediately, Bobby quickly took the box from his honorary brother.]

Bobby: "Thanks, lil' Loud! Oh! You've just saved my whole night!"

[With that, Bobby crouched down and pulled the two kids in for a hug before they could collapse from exhaustion.]

Bobby: "You two are really special, you know that? I think I oughta repay you somehow."

Ronnie Anne: "It's fine, hermano. Just don't lose it again, please?"

[From the carriage, Lori cleared her throat to get her boyfriend's attention.]

Lori: "Boo-Boo Bear, shouldn't we get back to my house? Our car's still there."

[Bobby nodded and joined his girlfriend and the others in the carriage.]

Lincoln: "Wait!"

[The teens turned to look at Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.]

Ronnie Anne: "What about us?"

[Bobby and Lori looked at each other and smiled then they looked back at their younger siblings. The Latino thought this was a good chance to repay his sister and honorary brother for retrieving his gift to Lori.]

Bobby: "Sure thing, you two. Wouldn't want you guys to walk all the way back home, would we?"

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne held hands and walked up to the carriage. Lincoln then stopped and gestured his hand towards the door in a gentleman-like manner.]

Lincoln: "Ladies first, Ronnie Anne."

[Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes before walking to the carriage. But upon seeing Lori and Leni's friends, she turned around to look at Lincoln with clenched teeth.]

Ronnie Anne: "On second thought, how about you sit with the driver? I'll ride with the others."

Lincoln: "Okay, I guess? You're going to keep your cool on the ride back...right?"

Ronnie Anne: "Don't worry about me, Linc! I'm always cool."

[Lincoln gave Ronnie Anne a look of concern, but said nothing as he went to sit with Kirby while his Latina friend went to ride in the carriage. Almost immediately, the limo driver guided the horses and carriage back towards the Loud House.]

[After dropping off Becky, Tad, Carol and Errol at their houses, Lincoln thought he'd make some small talk with Kirby to pass the time.]

Lincoln: "You know, Kirby. My family and I hardly see you these days."

Kirby: "Yeah, well things have been looking up for me ever since the last time we met. Carol's family is paying me a large sum of money once this gig is over."

[Kirby then leaned over to Lincoln's ear and whispered into it.]

Kirby: "By the way, you don't meet a girl like this too often."

Lincoln: "You mean Ronnie Anne?"

Kirby: "If you're referring to the girl who was running with you, then that's the one."

[Lincoln blushed at his adult acquaintance's implication.]

Kirby: "Though, I'd watch out for her if I were you. From what I saw, she sounded kind of...defensive."

Lincoln: "It's fine, Kirby. She's just been through a lot in her life."

Kirby: "What do you mean?"

[As the ride continued, Lincoln told Kirby some bits of Ronnie Anne's old life and of her father. Kirby was quite interested yet concerned at the same time.]

Kirby: "Wow... No wonder she treats you rough."

Lincoln: "Well, she's not so bad, once you get to know her."

Kirby: "Still, I'd keep a sharp eye on that girl. Anyone coming from an abusive family member can tend to be, uh...unhinged."

Lincoln: "Don't worry about her, Kirby. Her dad's locked away now, so he's not gonna be a problem for her anymore."

[Lincoln then turned to look at the readers with uncertainty.]

Lincoln: "I hope."

[After a while, the carriage arrived back at the Loud House to drop off Lori, Bobby, Leni, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.]

Leni: "I had, like, a wonderful time tonight, Chaz Bear."

Chaz: "So did I, babe."

[Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes at Lincoln. Hearing Leni and Chaz being all lovey-dovey reminded her too much of Bobby and Lori.]

Ronnie Anne: "Let's get inside before I start puking my guts out."

Lincoln: "Good idea."

[With that, the two kids got down from the carriage and made their way to the front door of the house. Lori and Bobby then got out themselves and walked over to their SUV, which was still parked on the driveway. Lincoln then waved goodbye to Kirby, who tipped his hat in response before guiding the horses to pull the carriage.]

[As soon as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were on the porch, the albino-haired boy looked behind him to see that Leni was still in the carriage with Chaz.]

Lincoln: "What about Leni?"

Ronnie Anne: "I'm sure she'll be fine."

[As soon as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne went into the house, they were greeted by Rita.]

Rita: "Where have you kids been?"

Lincoln: "Sorry, Mom. We were just trying to give Bobby his present to Lori."

Rita: "Well, you kids better get ready for bed and fast. It's still a school night, you know?"

[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne complied and went up the stairs to their rooms. Rita simply shook her head and gave off a smirk.]

Rita: "Those two are always up to something, aren't they?"

[However, as soon as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne reached the top of the staircase, the Hispanic tomboy turned right to Lincoln's room instead of her own room. Just as soon as she opened the door, she caught Lincoln with his pants down...quite literally. The young Hispanic girl stared at Lincoln while blushing like a red hot chili pepper. Lincoln also blushed as he stared back at Ronnie Anne but stayed silent for a few seconds before his friend spoke up.]

Ronnie Anne: "I'll just...go back to my room now..."

[Ronnie Anne slowly began to shut the door when Lincoln finally replied.]

Lincoln: "No! No, Ronnie Anne. It's okay..."

[Ronnie Anne stopped before she could fully close the door.]

Lincoln: "You can come in. Not sure if you should sleep in Leni's room all alone."

[Ronnie Anne opened the door and looked at Lincoln, who had just got into bed.]

Ronnie Anne: "You sure?"

Lincoln: "Sure, I won't bite."

[Ronnie Anne walked back into the room and shut the door before taking off her jacket and joining Lincoln on the bed.]

Lincoln: "Boy... We sure had a trying day today, didn't we?"

Ronnie Anne: "Yeah, but I think it was worth it. Especially when running from Tetherby's dogs."

Lincoln: "Yeah. That was pretty intense. I'm just glad to spend the whole day with you."

Ronnie Anne: "Why don't we just get some sleep now? I'm really exhausted."

Lincoln: "Good call...Ronnie Anne."

[Lincoln began to close his eyes and fall asleep. Ronnie Anne then whispered something into Lincoln's ear as he was snoring.]

Ronnie Anne: "Happy Valentine's Day, Lame-O."

[Lincoln snorted before mumbling something in his sleep.]

Lincoln: "You too, Ronnie Anne."

[Ronnie Anne wasn't sure if Lincoln got what she told him, but she drifted off to slumberland with him.]

Later, at Bobby and Lori's apartment...

[Lori sat at her bedroom dresser getting ready for bed when Bobby walked up behind her holding something behind his back.]

Bobby: "Happy Valentine's Day, Babe. I have something for you."

[Lori looked at her boyfriend through the mirror reflection and smiled in wonderment.]

[Bobby then got on one knee and revealed the case to Lori, who was quite curious about what was inside.]

[Bobby then opened the case to reveal a gold heart shaped locket with a chain connected to it. Lori slowly took the locket out of the case and looked over it in awe. She then looked at the back of the locket and read what was engraved on it.]

To Lori Loud, my babe

Here is something to cherish for the rest of our lives after this Valentine's Day.

I hope you'll love it as much as you love me.

Yours forever, Bobby Boo-Boo Bear

Lori: "Oh, Bobby! It looks amazing!"

Bobby: "Open it. There's more."

[Even more curious, Lori pushed the switch on the top of the locket and it opened, revealing one of the photos from the Maternity shoot on the right space. Lori covered her mouth when she saw the picture.]

Bobby: "See that, babe? That's us."

[Bobby then pointed to the empty space.]

Bobby: "And there? That's where our little bumblebee will be...and any more kids that we might have in the future."

[Lori's eyes started to fill up with tears when that thought struck her. She sighed dreamily as she held the locket to her chest. She then stood up and turned around before taking her boyfriend's hand and looking him in the eyes.]

Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear... I literally couldn't have asked for a better gift than this."

[Lori then wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck and hugged him tightly.]

Lori: "Thank you, Bobby! Thank you so much!"

Bobby: "Don't thank me, babe. I nearly forgot this gift when I left it at your family's house. Good thing Lincoln and Ronnie Anne arrived in time to bring it to me. I tell you, after everything they've done for us tonight, we should really do something nice for them in return."

[Lori then put her index finger on her boyfriend's lips.]

Lori: "Maybe we should. But in the meantime..."

[With that Lori wrapped her arms around the back of her boyfriend's neck and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. Bobby wrapped his hands around Lori's waist as he happily returned that kiss, using his own tongue to battle with Lori's. He even caught his girlfriend's lower lip with his teeth. They didn't stop until Bobby sat on the bed. Lori took off Bobby's coat and the Hispanic boy helped. Bobby then took off his undershirt, revealing that same muscular physique that Lori had grown accustomed to for nearly two years.]

[Lori licked her lips and leaned forward before giving her boyfriend's chest a few passionate kisses before moving up to his neck. Bobby then felt a familiar sensation in his pants as his body shivered.]

Bobby: "Ohhh...maldito..."

[Lori then noticed the bulge in her boyfriend's pants and gave off a sly smirk.]

Lori: "What's this then?"

[Lori then got on her knees and proceeded to unfasten the belt keeping Bobby's pants secure. Lori then lowered her boyfriend's pants and boxers to reveal the Hispanic man's erect manhood pointing towards the ceiling. Lori then grasped the thing in her hand and started jerking it a few times. Bobby looked at his girlfriend and smirked at her.]

Bobby: "Feeling a little amorous tonight, babe?"

Lori: "I told you, Roberto...I've literally been planning this for after the prom."

[With that, Lori wedged Bobby's hard member between both of her breasts. She then opened her mouth and began sucking on the tip of her boyfriend's member. Bobby bit his lower lip as he felt his penis starting to fill up. Lori went faster and faster until finally...]

Bobby: "Lori, I think I'm about to-"

[Bobby moaned as he squirted his load all over Lori's face before lying down on his back in exhaustion. The blonde wiped her face before looking up at Bobby in a loving way. She then stood up and joined her exhausted boyfriend on the bed.]

Lori: "So, how was it?"

[Bobby looked over at his girlfriend with a loving smile before taking her hand.]

Bobby: "Totally amazing, babe."

Lori: "I knew you'd like it."

[Lori turned her head to look at Bobby.]

Lori: "Again, that locket was the most beautiful thing you ever got for me. I literally feel like I'm dreaming."

Bobby: "Aw gracias, babe."

[With that, Bobby brought Lori's hand to his lips and kissed it.]

Lori: "Happy Valentine's Day, Bobby Boo-Boo Bear... My king."

[Lori pulled her boyfriend towards her face and kissed his lips. The two young adults snuggled next to each other before Lori drifted off to sleep. Bobby felt his heart melt as he looked at his adorable girlfriend.]

Bobby: "You too, my queen...and sweet dreams."

[With that, Bobby closed his eyes and fell asleep with Lori, putting his hand on her baby bump as he did.]

Meanwhile...

[Mr. Dupree sat in his chair watching an old 1940's cartoon while sipping on a glass of soda. The nearly retired history teacher thought he'd do something to help him get tired faster.]

[Just then, the program was interrupted by a news report. There was a bus that was on it's side along with a few police cars at the scene, and Katherine Mulligan was reporting the whole incident.]

Katherine: "I am standing on the outskirts of Royal Woods where a prison bus that was on its way to Death Row in Detroit has crashed, killing two guards and three inmates in what officials are calling 'The St. Valentine's Day Breakout'. We were able to learn the identities of two convicts that have escaped the bus after the crash. They are believed to be 25-year old Lamont Miles and 63-year old Alex Santiago, who was recently found guilty during his... Wait a minute... It can't be him! Am I reading this right? Alex Santiago?"

[While Katherine was shocked and confused by what she read, two police mugshots appeared on the screen. One was a young African-American male while the other was a rugged Hispanic male, which was none other than Alex Santiago himself.]

[Mr. Dupree remained in a shocked silence as he dropped his soda. The glass cup landed on the hard floor and shattered into pieces as the liquid stained the floor, but Mr. Dupree didn't care about that right now, for all his thoughts were on the TV screen and what was showing on it...]

Mr. Dupree: "Oh...shit..."

Well, it's impossible to deny it, but the unthinkable has happened: Alex Santiago has escaped. How's everyone going to react upon hearing the news? Well, only time will tell.

Mike The Red Engine: Thanks, mate.

Gamelover41592: Thank you.

DarthWill3: If I wanted to do a sequel, it wouldn't be "Baby Daddy Linky", because that would basically be rehashing the same plot. I mean a sequel usually needs to take things in a different direction, right?

Tristen: Yeah, it looks like they're almost there.

MoreABoutThomas: After what happened to Whitney and Moniqua, I don't think that lackey number two would dare to try anything. Secondly, there is going to be a side chapter soon, but it isn't going to be about Whitney. Finally, there might be an epilogue chapter later on.

wollyworld: Thanks.

nycolesbutera: Thanks.

Jacksonangelo105: Yeah, she was definitely asking for it.

batdude365: I haven't forgotten about Koch or Yuri. In fact, they're going to play a big part in the climax.

Ellis97: I've heard. But, I'm starting to lose interest in the series. This doesn't mean I'll cancel my story, though. I've come too far to quit now.

Guest: We'll see.
