A big family gets even bigger
Chapter Ten: Body double with less than half the body
It was a normal enough day at Royal Woods Elementary School, which saw Lisa walking with her friend Darcy to the library during recess. "With the other kids outside," Lisa said, "There should be very few people in the library to get in the way of you finding that book you want."
"Wow, I never would of thought of skipping recess to find that book," Darcy said.
The two girls rounded a corner, but Lisa stopped when she saw the sight of Lana, one of her soon to be step-siblings. Lana was looking to be hiding behind something while looking off at something else. "It would appear that Lana is hiding while spying on someone," Lisa said.
"You know that girl?" Darcy asked.
"She is one of my soon to be step-siblings," Lisa said, "Although what she's doing with all of this cloak and dagger hiding is beyond me." Lisa led Darcy over to see what Lana was up to.
The plus sized tomboy nearly let out a yelp of surprise when Lisa and Darcy surprised her, but she managed to keep a lid on it. "Lisa, not now," Lana said.
"What are you even doing?" Lisa asked.
Lana looked back out at what she was originally looking at. Lisa and Darcy looked out as well, and they saw two boys in the same grade as Lana and Lola. "Ah, I recognize the well dressed looking boy as Lola's crush Winston," Lisa said, "But the boy who looks like a mechanic is a mystery."
"That's Skippy," Lana said, "And I got a..." Lana stopped short, looked a bit nervous. "I... got a crush on Skippy," Lana admitted.
"Want us to tell him for you?" Darcy half asked half offered.
"Darcy," Lisa began, "I know very little about matters of romance, but I do know that people typically don't like it when others blurt their crushes out for them. It's best to let Lana get things across to Skippy on her own."
"I'm not sure if I can, though," Lana said, "I mean sure, I play with Skippy and some of the other boys outside all the time, we usually get dirty and such. But how can I tell Skippy that I like him?"
Shrugging, Darcy asked, "Are you afraid he'll say no?"
Lana nodded once sadly in the affirmative. "A lot of girls in my grade keep telling me that me being fat will keep boys from thinking I'm cute. I'm worried that they might have a point, and that Skippy won't like me, as in like me like me, due to how I'm fat."
"I fail to see how you being fat will hinder you," Lisa stated, "After all, Lucy, Luna, and Leni are all very much very fat, and yet all of them got boyfriends. Lincoln himself is also rather obese, and yet he got a girlfriend."
Lana was still looking rather unsure of herself. "I still don't know..."
Lisa was about to speak up, but was cut off when Darcy walked up to Lana and hugged her. "I have every confidence that the boy you like will like you back," Darcy said, "You just gotta believe."
Touched, Lana said, "Thanks, nice girl who is apparently friends with Lisa."
"Her name is Darcy," Lisa explained.
"Well I didn't know that until now," Lana replied.
That evening at the Loud family residence, Lana was looking at herself in a mirror in her and Lola's room. She seemed a bit unsure of herself as she saw her round and wide self. She put a plump hand on her big belly, pushed in gently before releasing. The tomboyish girl was fearing that the girls at school who say she's too fat for boys to like may have a-
"Hey Lana, I need to use the mirror," Lola spoke up, cutting off Lana's trail of thought as Lola, not even aware of Lana's worries, more or less shoved Lana out of the way so she could check herself out in the mirror, "I wanna see how my new dress for pageants will look on me."
Lana rolled her eyes in an annoyed manner. "You aren't the only one needing to use the mirror, Lola," Lana scowled, "I was checking myself out too!"
"It was my mirror first!" Lola said, right before she and Lana had a shoving contest. During the shoving contest, Lola's tiara came flying off and landed on the floor, and Lana's hat came flying off and landed on Lola's head so that she wore it. "Eee!" Lola cried in surprise, "Lana's hat landed on me! Now I'll have to shampoo my hair!"
Lana was about to scowl at Lola, but she stopped short when she saw something in the mirror; Lola with Lana's hat on... looked like a skinny Lana. Granted Lola looked like a skinny Lana without her hair in pigtails and also skinny Lana here was dressed like a princess, but the real Lana had a bit of and idea brewing in her mind.
Lola was about to take off Lana's hat, but Lana stopped her short by saying, "Wait a minute, Lola!" Curious, Lola actually listened to Lana. "...I need you to bare with me on this one," Lana said, "I have an idea on a plan here, but it'll involve you having a bit of a makeover."
"...I do love the sound of makeovers," Lola began although her tone and expression made it clear that she was apprehensive, "But I'm not too sure about the makeover you say you have in mind..."
...
After a moment, Lola with her hair in twin pigtails was looking at herself in a mirror, wearing Lana's hat and a spare copy of Lana's usual outfit. The outfit was sized to fit the real Lana who stood next to Lola, so the clothing was very much oversized on the slender Lola. "...My hunch was right," Lana said, "You while dressed as me and with your hair styled like mine can pass as a thin me."
"...It does look rather uncanny," Lola agreed, surprised by how well she could pass for a version of Lana who is thin. It also made her wonder for a brief moment if Lana could pass as a fat version of Lola herself, but the princess of the Loud sisters was not exactly in the mood to see a version of herself that was tipping the scales. "Wait a minute, why are you so interested in having me dressing up as you?" Lola asked.
Sighing, Lana said, "It's part of a plan that, now that I see you can easily pass as a thin version of me, I really need your help with."
"What's the plan?" Lola asked.
Gesturing to Lola, Lana began, "Remember how I told you about Skippy, the boy I have a crush on? I need you to, while dressed up as me, get him to wanna date me. If Skippy agrees, then we'll slowly ease him into being okay with me being fat by making it look like skinny me is slowly gaining back the lost weight. Then at the end, the real me will take your place."
Letting out a sigh, Lola said, "Lana, you are or will be my sister, so of course I have no issue with helping you get with the boy you have a crush on. But I have a few questions about your plan, mainly how it'll be explained to Skippy that you got so thin so quickly while I'm disguised as you."
Shrugging, Lana said, "The story will be that I felt thirsty while I was looking for Hops who wandered off. I was looking for Hops in Lisa and Lily's room when I found a bottle of red stuff Lisa left at her science stuff table. I took the red stuff and drank it, thinking it was fruit punch, and the red stuff is what made me skinny."
"Lisa has done all sorts of science stuff, so a bottle of red stuff that makes fat girls skinny wouldn't actually surprise me if Lisa made it," Lola said, "Wait, how will we manage the illusion of your weight returning? Because no way am I going to gain weight like that."
"Pillows," Lana said, "We'll stuff your outfit with pillows, then after a while we'll switch you out for me. And if anyone asks how the weight came back, we'll say that Lisa's red stuff wore off."
Lola still wasn't entirely sure about this plan, but she could tell that Lana really wanted to win over Skippy. And it wouldn't be the first time that Lola took an interest in the love lives of the Alverson siblings. Lola along with Luan and Lynn had looked into Aggro, Sam, and Ronnie Anne who are respectively dating Leni, Luna, and Lincoln. There's also how Lola, again with Luan and Lynn, helped Lucy get with her crush Rocky.
Lola would again be helping the Alversons with a crush, but this time it'll be a solo job, or at least as solo as she can get. "Just to be safe, we ought to inform our siblings of this plan so that they don't accidentally spoil anything," Lola said, "Especially if we're able to get Skippy to come over."
"Ooh, Skippy said he wanted to see the robots that Lisa made for Lincoln, Leni, and Luna," Lana said, "We can invite him over with the premise of letting him see the robots!"
Clapping her hands together, Lola said, "Perfect! This'll be so easy, you'll get with your dream guy in next to flat!" Lola and Lana then jumped up and down together, excited for the plan to help one of the Alverson sisters get with their crush.
That Saturday morning over at the Loud family residence, there was a knock at the front door which was answered by Lola disguised as a skinny Lana. Opening the door, Lola came face to face with Skippy, the boy that the real Lana has a crush on. "Thanks again for inviting me over to see the robot that your older brother has, Lana," Skippy said.
"Oh, it's no big deal, Skippy," Lola replied in her best imitation of Lana's voice, "Oh, Leni and Luna also got robots as well, you wanna see those too?"
"Totally!" Skippy remarked, "Oh, I hope you don't mind that I invited my best friend along to come see the now multiple robots your family has!"
Looking surprised, Lola said in her Lana-voice, "You brought a friend along?"
Skippy walked into the Loud family residence, with Winston following along inside as well. "I do hope that my being here doesn't throw things too off kilter," Winston said, "But when Skippy told me that he was going to get to see some real robots and offered to bring me along, well, how can any sane boy say no to getting to see real robots?"
Lola immediately froze up, not expecting Winston to be here. But then again, Winston is the boy that Lola has a crush on. ...And she was dressed as Lana right in front of Winston. It took every last bit of willpower for Lola to not cry out in surprise. "...Uhh, you two boys wait down here," Lola said, still doing her Lana voice, "I need to go upstairs and get the robots ready for you boys to see."
Skippy and Winston both nodded in agreement, giving Lola the chance to run upstairs to where all of the other Loud sisters and the Alverson siblings were hanging out in Lori's and Leni's room for some odd reason.
...
"Big emergency!" Lola cried out as she ran into Lori's and Leni's room, "Skippy didn't come alone, he brought Winst-" Lola stopped short when she saw that some of the sisters were gathered around Lana who was dressed up in a copy of Lola's outfit sized to fit the plus sized tomboy. Lana even had the necessary earrings and a tiara, and her hair was styled appropriately.
"...How did Lana squeeze into one of my outfits?" Lola asked.
"She didn't," Luan said, "Leni made her a new outfit that's exactly the same as your usual dress, only the one Lana is wearing is sized to fit her."
"Since you're dressed as a skinny version of Lana, we're having Lana dress as a fat version of you," Lynn explained, "It's actually pretty amazing that the two of you can pull this off."
Looking at Lana dressed as a fat version of Lola, the real Lola who's currently dressed as a skinny version of Lana said, "I have to admit, it is pretty amazing." Briskly shaking her head to get back on track, Lola said, "But that's not the point! Skippy didn't come alone, he brought Winston along!"
Arching a wry eyebrow, Luan said, "Who?"
"Wait, isn't Winston the preppy boy that you have a crush on, Lola?" Lana asked.
"Yes, exactly!" Lola exclaimed, "How am I gonna keep my cool while helping you get with your crush when my crush is right next to him?!"
Sucking in a cringing breath, Lori said, "Ooh, this is literally a bad situation. We did not anticipate that Lana's crush not only would bring a guest, but said guest is Lola's crush." Clapping her hands together, Lori said, "Leni, Luna, Lincoln, you three are going to have to go down with Lola to help her keep her cool. It helps that the robots that the boys wanna see belong to you three."
"I'm sure that Lincoln and I can keep the illusion going," Luna said, "But Leni has a horrible history in trying to keep secrets. She may spill that it's Lola dressed as Lana and not the real Lana."
"I can, like, totes keep a secret!" Leni said, a pouty look on her round, plump face.
Clapping his hands together, Lincoln said, "Well, I say we do it. It helps that we're Lana's biological siblings, so we know her pretty well." Luna and Leni agreed, and so the three of them got up and left the room with Lola, although Luna advised Leni to keep quiet unless it was absolutely necessary for her to talk. The job of helping Lana to get her crush Skippy to like her back had just gotten a little bit bigger, but big jobs can best be handled by big people.
Later downstairs in the Loud residence living room, Lola still in her Lana disguise stood with Skippy and Winston as Luna led the introduction of the Servantbots. "Yeah, Lisa made these for me and Lincoln and Leni to help us," Luna said, "Apparently us being totally chill and doting on her made the cool little genius happy."
"Uhh, yeah, my siblings were all surprised by how fond of us Lisa was right off the bat," Lola said while doing her Lana voice. Lola and her older sisters still remember how Lisa got upset over how they brushed off her super science stuff, stuff that the little genius had put a lot of hard work and effort into. Lola as well as Luan and Lynn didn't just have to make things up to the Alverson siblings, they also had to make things up to Lisa. Even Lori had to make things up to Lisa.
Looking at the robots, Skippy asked, "What kind of robots are they?"
"According to Lisa, they are called Servantbots," Lincoln explained, "Me and Luna each have a butler model version while Leni's is the maid model version."
"Do they have names or do you just call them Servantbot?" Winston asked.
"Actually we did name them," Luna replied, "Mine is named Bender, Lincoln named his Jarvis, and Leni named hers Rosie."
"Lisa had also made a maid model Servantbot for Ronnie Anne, who Ronnie Anne named Rosetta," Lincoln added.
"Ronnie Anne is one of the girls in your friend group, right?" Skippy asked, "She's the tall girl with the black hair and she wears t-shirts and pairs of shorts, right?"
"No, I am certain that Ronnie Anne is the girl with long dark hair and she wears that blue sweater that exposes her shoulders," Winston remarked.
Chuckling a bit, Lincoln said, "No, the girl that Skippy described is Stella and the girl that Winston described is Sid. Ronnie Anne is the girl who wears the purple hoodie."
Both young boys went wide eyed with surprise. "That's Ronnie Anne Santiago?!" Skippy exclaimed, "Dude, that girl is the Purple Pain! She's bar none the scariest girl over at Royal Woods Elementary School!"
"I heard this one time," Winston said while sounding and looking similarly as scared as Skippy, "That the Purple Pain once picked up a boy and shoved him head first into a trash can because said boy had been bullying a boy that she has a crush on!"
Smiling in mild amusement, Lincoln pointed at himself while saying, "Yeah well you're looking at the boy that Ronnie Anne has a crush on. She and I are even dating."
Both Skippy and Winston looked stunned into silence, at least until Skippy turned to Lola and said, "Lana, whatever you do, do NOT mess with your older brother here. His scary girlfriend will flatten you in next to flat."
"I know," Lola said dryly in her Lana voice, still remembering the time that Ronnie Anne tackled her to the floor.
Later, Lola watched it as Skippy and Winston were paying attention to Lincoln, Leni, and Luna as they showed off their Servantbots. "Lori is planning on throwing a high school party, and she plans to use Bender and the other Servantbots here to help out," Luna said, "I'm not sure if Lincoln agreed to let Lori borrow Jarvis, though."
"I don't remember Lori asking me yet," Lincoln said, "But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
"What can these guys do?" Winston asked as he and Skippy looked at the Servantbots.
"Most whatever a human servant can do," Lincoln replied.
"Can they do math work like that one Android guy on that science fiction space exploring show?" Skippy asked, "My mom is a big fan of that series and the Android guy is her favorite character."
Nodding once, Leni said, "Oh, they can totes do all sorts of math work! It's been really helpful to me with some of my tougher math homework!"
"Totes?" Winston repeated questioningly, "That is not a word I'm familiar with."
"Yeah, I have no idea what totes means either," Skippy said.
"It's a shorthand term for the word 'totally', I believe," Lola said in her Lana voice, "Leni uses it all the time, almost as often as Lori says the word literally. Often incorrectly."
"Hey, can the robots tell us how often that Lori girl misuses the word literally?" Skippy asked.
Nodding once, Lincoln said, "Yes you can ask that. If you and or Winston want to try giving an order, the Servantbot in question will first need authorization from their owner before carrying out the order, but they can still answer simple inquiries without need of authorization. Wanna give it a try?"
The two boys nodded eagerly in agreement, then settled on asking the question to Jarvis. "Can you tell us how often that Lori girl misuses the word literally?" Skippy asked.
"I calculate a ninety-one point six percent rate of the individual named Lori Loud misusing the word literally," Jarvis replied, "At least from what all incidents that I am aware of."
The two boys were both impressed by the feat of scientific awesome-ness that was right before them. "Dude, this is awesome!" Skippy said. Turning to look at Lola, Skippy remarked, "Lana, your smart science sister is amazing!"
"Error," Rosie spoke up, "The individual that you are addressing is Lola Loud, not Lana Alverson."
The plus sized Alverson siblings, as well as Lola, all looked alarmed at Rosie revealing that it's Lola dressed as Lana and not the real Lana. Skippy and Winston, however, both looked confused. "What are you talking about?" Winston asked, "That's Lana Alverson after she drank a bottle of red stuff that Lisa made."
"Error," Bender spoke up, "There is no record of 'red stuff' made by our creator."
"Uhh, Bender," Luna said, "Now's not the time to say anything about that."
"My apologies, Luna," Bender replied.
Both Winston and Skippy had suspicious looks on their respective faces. "Something's fishy here," Skippy said, "And it's not the fresh fish that my dad cooked for dinner last night."
Looking to Lola and the Alverson siblings who were present, Winston asked, "What's really going on here? Is what the robots are saying true?"
Seeing that the cat was out of the bag, Lola let out a defeated sigh. "I guess that you boys ought to be told the truth."
...
Later, Lola and Lana who were both back to being dressed as they respectively normally dress were downstairs with their respective siblings as they explained things to Skippy and Winston. "So it was really Lola dressed up as Lana," Skippy said, "Because Lana likes me but was afraid her being fat would make me not like her, but figured using Lola dressed as her could help ease me into liking Lana despite her size."
"I have to admit," Winston said, "Lola pulled off an amazingly convincing act as Lana. That is some rather serious talent."
Lola, looking surprised, said, "Oh, umm, thanks."
Looking worried, Lana said, "I'm sorry about the trickery, Skippy. It's just that I really do think that you're cute and I wanted you to like me, but I was afraid that you wouldn't like me because I'm fat."
Shrugging, Skippy said to Lana, "I don't got a problem with it."
"You don't?" Lana replied.
Shrugging again, Skippy said, "Why would I? It doesn't make sense to not like a girl simply because said girl just so happens to be fat. Also, I remember the various times you joined the other boys and I in wrestling during recess, and I'm pretty sure that your weight gives you an advantage there."
Smirking in amusement, Lana said, "Well I do get practice wrestling from time to time. I think that there's a type of wrestling in Japan that requires those taking part in it to be fat, I wanna try to use some of that next time that the boys wrestle during recess."
"You're thinking of sumo wrestling," Lincoln said, "It's traditionally boys only, but there are some modern versions that see girls take part. Ronnie Anne has added some sumo moves to her arsenal of fighting moves she uses to deal with other kids at school who get on her nerves."
Both Skippy and Winston looked nervous. "...Yeah, neither of us wanna get on her nerves," Skippy said, "Neither of us have death wishes, we don't wanna irritate the Purple Pain."
"I'm liking the sound of Ronnie Anne more and more," Lynn remarked, "She sounds like she's one tough girl. Can't wait for her to come on over to Royal Woods Middle School, she might be good in the wrestling club."
"You actually WANT her to get training in fighting?!" Lola exclaimed, "I'm still scared of her from the time when she tackled me to the floor that one time!" Everyone shared a laugh, aside from Lola, Lana, Skippy, and Winston who all seem scared of Ronnie Anne.
As it turned out, Skippy was totally down with Lana having a crush on him. It helped that out of all of the kids in their grade who like getting dirty during recess, Lana was the best at wrestling, which led to her and Skippy becoming something of a tag team couple. Winston when he was asked if he wanted to join politely declined, his tone and expression strongly suggesting he wasn't exactly a fan of getting dirty.
However, Winston DID come to gain something of an admiration for Lola, given that she had wowed him with her apparently good skills in acting. Winston actually belonged to a club of amateur film makers, and he asked Lola if she was interested in helping them with their club's last project before school let out for the summer. Lola, ecstatic that her crush was wanting to spend time with him as well as how her ego was being appealed to to an extent, agreed.
Stretching her arms into the air one day after school, Luan said as she was walking her biological younger sisters home, "You see, Lola? There was nothing to worry about."
"I was still afraid when one of the robots Lisa made blew our cover," Lola remarked.
"In their defense, the Servantbots were not warned ahead of time about the ruse we were trying to maintain," Lisa said.
Looking at the rest of the group, Lynn said, "Why didn't Lincoln, Lucy, and Lana join us?"
"Lori's busy because Bobby and his folks just got back from checking things in Great Lakes City," Luan began, "Lincoln went along because Ronnie Anne is really upset and he wants to be there for her. Leni was able to get Aggro to give Lucy and Lana a lift home because it's not likely they can get home on their own."
Arching a wry eyebrow, Lynn asked, "Ronnie Anne is upset how? Did someone tick her off and Lincoln needs to calm her down before she drops a wrestling move on someone?"
Gently shaking her head in the negative, Luan said, "Lori said that Ronnie Anne was upset as in sad and crying. Bobby is the same according to Lori, it's part of why she's busy helping the Santiagos."
"Ronnie Anne was made sad and she's crying?" Lola asked, "But she's the meanest, scariest girl at school! What could make her upset in the sad and crying sense?"
"Bobby too, so it must be a family thing," Lynn pointed out.
"I believe that the most logical answer is that regrettably, someone in their family had passed away," Lisa stated, "If so, it's probably a grandparent due to their advance age."
The other present Loud sisters all looked concerned about that. "Yeah, Lincoln had said that Ronnie Anne is fond of her Grandma Rosa and Grandpa Hector," Luan remarked, "It makes sense if Ronnie Anne is sad and crying because one of them passed away. I mean, we would all be sad and crying if Grandpa Leonard passed away, wouldn't we?"
As the other present Loud sisters nodded in agreement with Luan, the lot of them eventually made their way to the Loud family residence. The four of them went inside, and saw that Aggro was sitting on the sofa as he supervised Lucy and Lana. Lily was laying on the sofa at the end opposite of where Aggro was sitting, which is Lincoln's usual spot.
"Ah, you're home, girls," Aggro said, "Listen, Lori and Lincoln are helping Bobby's family with some stuff after they got back from dealing with business in Great Lakes City. Leni-chan and Luna are also out, although I was asked by Leni-chan to keep an eye on you all until she or Lori got back, as your parents are both out."
"Aggro, do you know what's going on with the Santiagos?" Lynn asked.
The male Ace twin gently shook his head. "I do know, yes," Aggro began, "But it's best to allow Bobby and his family to explain things. Just know that it's bad business."
"Did one of Bobby and Ronnie Anne's grandparents pass away?" Lola asked.
"No, and thank goodness for that," Aggro replied, "I can confirm that both Hector and Rosa Casagrande are alive and well, although they too are upset. Bobby's Grandma Rosa is, according to Bobby, doing even more cooking than she usually does."
"Lincoln has had some of Ronnie Anne's grandma's cooking before and he says it's amazing," Lucy remarked, "Makes me kind of jealous."
As Aggro nodded in understanding, Lynn Sr. came into the house. "Hey kids," Lynn Sr. greeted, "I just came to grab my secret personal cookbook, got a- Aggro? What are you doing here?"
"I was asked to supervise the little ones while Leni-chan and Lori are busy," Aggro replied, "They as well as Luna and Lincoln are helping Bobby's family with a few things."
Nodding once in understanding, Lynn Sr. said, "Oh yeah. That's part of why I'm here right now to grab my secret personal cookbook, it's got a recipe that I'm gonna cook up at my restaurant and bring over to the Santiago house, as a show of support for my oldest daughter's boyfriend's family. I was told by Maria Santiago that her brother, his wife, and two of their kids were sadly all killed in that recent massive traffic accident in Great Lakes City and-"
"Bobby and Ronnie Anne lost their aunt, uncle, and two cousins?!" the present Loud sisters all exclaimed in surprise, looking shocked. Lucy and Lana were similarly as surprised, and the loud cries of the Loud sisters stirred Lily from her nap on the sofa.
Aggro as he tried to get Lily to settle back down gave Lynn Sr. a dry, even look. "We were hoping to let the Santiagos break that news to others, sir," Aggro said.
Lynn Sr., understanding he messed up, said, "Oops."
END, CHAPTER TEN
Author's notes;
This chapter sees Lola help Lana with winning over Skippy's affections by dressing up as a skinny Lana and doing a Lana voice to make Skippy think Lana is thin now, as Lana was worried he may not like her due to her being fat. Things get more complicated when Skippy brings Lola's crush Winston over, and the Servantbots end up revealing the ruse, forcing Lola and Lana to come clean on what they were doing.
However, Skippy and Winston aren't actually upset at all, instead they're impressed that Lola has such great acting skills. And Skippy isn't bothered at all by the fact Lana is fat, he actually thinks her weight helps her with wrestling when they and others in their grade wrestle during recess at school. This allows for things to blossom between Lana and Skippy, also things start to blossom between Lola and Winston, so it's a win win.
However, not everything is sunshine and daisies, as near the end it's revealed that the reason why Bobby and Ronnie Anne were busy over the last few chapters is because their aunt, uncle, and two of their cousins were killed in the massive traffic accident in Great Lakes City that was hinted at a few chapters ago. Things will continue from here in the next chapter, as another arc in this story is kicked off into starting.
Also, it wasn't until I finished this chapter that I learned that Rita's maiden name is actually Reynolds. Alverson is a last name I made up to fill in there because I didn't know that until literally when I was finishing this chapter. Oh well, Rita and her biological children here will switch to using Loud as a surname when Rita marries Lynn Sr. Anyway, we'll see who among the Casagrande kids are moving in with the Santiagos next time.
