Kanto Gets Loud
Chapter 47: Meeting Sam and the Royals
Back at the Vermillion City Pokemon Center,
"…And that's how we were allowed to take on a starter Pokemon of our own," Lincoln said, as he told about today's encounter with Team Rocket.
"My word, that's quite a productive day. Not only did two of your Pokemon evolve, but you accomplished this 'Mega Evolution' thing," Rita commented, sounding very impressed.
"Yeah, but it's going to take a while before we can fully master it. After Lapis returned to her normal form, she looked positively wiped out," Lincoln replied.
"Well, the best thing to do for something like that is practice, practice, and more practice," Luna said.
"By the way, what Pokemon did you two choose?" Lisa asked.
"I got a little cutie pie by the name, I think it's name was 'Cyndaquil'?" Leni asked.
"That sounds about right. As for me, I chose a Treecko, the Grass Type starter from the Hoenn Region. I'll send over the data I've collected over the past three days," Lincoln added, as he inserted his Pokedex into the Videophone.
"Data transferring… Data transfer complete," a computerized voice said, as Lincoln took out his Pokedex.
"Ok, that's all the new information I have for right now. Next time I call, I'll be sure to have some more," Lincoln replied.
"We look forward to it, Lincoln. By the way, now probably isn't a good time to ask, but is there any chance I can request that you send over some of your Pokemon?" Lisa asked.
"All you need to do is ask. Now, let me just pull up my storage boxes," Lincoln said, as he accessed his Pokemon Storage system, "How about this? I'm going to send over nine Pokemon this time around," he offered.
"That would be fantastic! May I ask which ones you'll be sending over?" Lisa asked.
"Lets see. Last time, I sent Riolu, Beedrill Fearow, Skyra, Mesmer, and Bruce, so those guys are out. How about I send Queeny, Lapis, Andrea, Aizami, Inferna, Raphael, Spirit, Goomy, and Astra?" Lincoln asked.
"Those will do very nicely," Lisa replied.
"Ok. But one thing about Lapis, make sure that you put her Gardevoirite somewhere safe until the week is over. No telling what Lori and Lola will do to get their hands on it," Lincoln requested.
"I have a special containment field in mind, so there's no need to worry there," Lisa replied.
"Alright then, I'll start sending them over now," Lincoln said, as he placed Queeny, Inferna and Lapis' Pokeballs in the transporter, teleporting them away. He then proceeded to transfer over the other six Pokemon.
"They've all arrived safe and sound, bro," Luna said, holding up the Pokeballs.
"Good. So, is there anything else you want to talk about?" Lincoln asked Leni and their family.
"Well, I would like to know what Leni plans to do," Rita commented.
"As much as I want to travel with Linky, I did promise to help chaperone his friends," Leni replied.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance?" both siblings turned to see Professor Cerise standing there.
"Professor Cerise? What's up?" Lincoln asked.
"A potential position that Leni and your friends can help me out with at my lab," Professor Cerise said, catching the attention of everyone there.
"What kind of position?" Zach asked.
"Well, how would you feel about becoming Research Fellows? It's a special type of research assistant that goes out into the field and conducts field research on the Pokemon inhabiting the different regions," Professor Cerise said.
"Sounds good, but what about our sponsorships? Won't they get voided if we don't go to the respective region we got our starters from?" Bobby asked.
"Not at all. The only time you'd have to worry about your trainer licenses getting revoked is if you do something that the Professor's that are sponsoring you don't approve of," Professor Cerise replied.
"You know, that may not be such a bad idea. If the battle we saw Lincoln in with Surge today taught us anything, is that Pokemon Training is hard work," Girl Jordan commented.
"It would be smart to build up our own individual teams before we set out on our own journeys," Tabby added.
"Plus, we'd be in one place for a long period of time in between expeditions," Zach added.
"Well, I guess if that's what we all think, then that's what we'll do," Bobby commented.
"Splendid! I'll have your rooms in the dormitory ready when you come back later," Professor Cerise said, as he left.
"Well, I guess that takes care of that," Rita commented.
"And this way, Leni can send information on the Pokemon SHE manages to catch as well," Lisa added.
"How do I do that?" Leni asked.
"Just do what I did when I transferred my data over; Just insert your Pokedex into the slot here, and the computer system will do the rest," Lincoln explained.
"That's easy," Leni replied, before she remembered something, "Oh yeah, are you going to tell them about the friends you made at Cerulean Cape?"
"You did mention making friends at the cape, but you never went into much detail," Rita commented, thinking back at the last time they spoke.
"Oh, right! Well, they came from the actual country of Japan, and the group consisted mostly of girls and only three boys," Lincoln replied.
"*Whistles* Man, that's some party!" Luna commented.
"Well, based on what I've seen from them, only two of the boys are genuinely liked among the group while the third is a bit of a perv," Lincoln replied.
"Ouch. Well, what else can you tell us about these friends of yours?" Lisa asked.
"Well, there are three sets of siblings among them. The first being Rito Yuuki and his little sister, Mikan. Then there's Lala Satalin Deviluke and her little twin sisters, Nana and Momo. Lastly, there Ren and Run Elise Jewelria," Lincoln explained.
"I'm sensing a theme with some of them," Lucy commented.
"You mean like how Lala, Nana, Momo, Ren and Run are aliens?" Leni asked.
"WAIT, WHAT?!" the Louds from Royal Woods yelled. Although they didn't hear it, in Luna and Luan's room, the jokey sister, the twins and Loud Patriarch were just as shocked to hear.
"When you say aliens, do you mean like UFO aliens?" Rita asked.
"In a nutshell, yes. Lala and her sisters are from the Planet Deviluke, where their father rule as the supreme ruler of the entire universe, while Ren and Run are from the Royal Family of the planet Memorze," Lincoln replied.
"Though apart from the fact that Lala and her sisters have those long black tails, you'd never think they were aliens," Leni commented.
"It's true. They physically look identical to humans," Lincoln added.
"The scientific community will be turned on its head when it hears of this!" Lisa commented, sounding a little overwhelmed by this information.
"I had a feeling you'd react this way," Lincoln chuckled slightly.
"So, where are you going next, Lincoln?" Luna asked.
"Haven't the foggiest idea. But Misty, Brock and I all got these free passes to the St. Anne Cruise Liner, so I think we'll be traveling by sea for a bit," Lincoln replied, showing the pass. His sisters on the other end dropped their jaws when they saw the pass.
"A free cruise… that takes a ridiculous amount of luck to pull off," Luna commented, mesmerized by the sight of the pass.
"Better put that ticket away, sweetie. Just so that we can continue talking," Rita advised. Lincoln did so, "When are you going to set sail?"
"According to Nurse Joy, the St. Anne is supposed to be docking tomorrow morning, so maybe sometime then," Lincoln replied.
"Well, after your win at Gym, I'd say you've more than earned it," Lucy commented.
"Yeah. Well, it's getting late over here, so I'll let you guys off now, unless you wanted to keep talking, Leni," Lincoln asked.
"Nah, I'm good. Besides, as you said, it is getting late, and we should be getting up to the lab," Leni replied.
"Well, as you wish. So, what all has been happening on your end?" Lincoln asked his family.
"Well, your father, along with Lori, Luan, Junior, and the twins were trying to reseal your room again. Junior now thinks that your room is the cause of the string of bad luck they've been experiencing now," Rita replied.
"Wait, really?" Lincoln asked.
"Afraid so, bro. She's convinced that if we reseal it, then whatever's been happening to us will stop," Luna replied.
"Lori even brought up the possibility of a test run, to see if your room is the source," Leni added. Lincoln tapped his chin in a thinking manner.
"One month," Lincoln finally said. His family looked confused.
"Excuse me?" Rita asked.
"I'll let you guys reseal my room for one month alone. But that's the total time limit I'm allowing," Lincoln replied.
"Ok, was not expecting you to go along with that, but if it'll kill of these wild accusations, then we'll take you up on the suggestion," Lisa replied.
"And this way, you'll all have a break from listening to Lynn's superstitious crap," Lincoln added.
"Too true. It would be nice not to hear her preach about it," Lucy replied.
"Right, well, I'll call you guys again when I get to the next town," Lincoln said to his family.
"Please do, Lincoln. We really like hearing from you," Rita said.
"The same goes for you, Leni. We'd like to hear how you fair as a trainer," Luna added.
"Sure thing. I'll totes call regularly," Leni replied.
"Ok, then take care, both of you," Rita said, as the phone call ended.
"Well, glad that call went smoothly," Lincoln commented.
"And all of our calls went by pretty smoothly too," Ronnie Anne said.
"Well, lets head back and check in with the professor. I definitely could do with some rest," Rusty commented.
"We'll come by the harbor and see you and your friends off," Carlota said to Lincoln.
"That would be nice," Lincoln commented.
"Hey, any chance I could bunk with you tonight, Linky? After all, it's been a long time since we've been together like this," Leni requested.
"I'd love that Leni. Thank you," Lincoln replied.
"Alright. We'll let the Professor know where you are, Leni," Bobby said, as he and all of the others exited the Pokemon Center.
"We should get to bed too. We want to be down at the harbor as early as we can," Misty suggested.
"Very well then," Lincoln replied, as they went back to the Pokemon Center bedrooms.
Back at the Loud House,
"It always does us good to hear from Lincoln," Lisa commented.
"Without question," Luna replied.
"So, what do you say we see what he sent over?" Rita asked, as they looked at the Pokeballs Lincoln had sent.
"Sounds like a plan," Luna replied, taking a random Pokeball from the selection, namely the Level Ball, "Got to say, the designs on some of these are pretty wicked," she commented.
"True. From what Lincoln told us, different Pokeballs have different effects on catching Pokemon," Lisa replied.
"Well, no more waiting! Let's see what he sent!" Luna said, as she opened the Level Ball, releasing Inferna.
"This looks like a Charmeleon. From the data he sent prior to this call, Charmeleon is the evolved form of Charmander," Lisa stated. And with that, the four of them continued to let out the Pokemon Lincoln had sent.
"Definitely a wide variety," Lucy commented.
"These two in particular are quite beautiful," Rita commented, looking at Queeny and Lapis.
"And just look at the jaws on this one," Lucy replied, looking at Spirit.
"Lincoln's collected all three Kanto Starters, but it would appear that only his Bulbasaur and Charmander have evolved," Lisa commented, noticing that Raphael was still a Squirtle, who simply huffed, "Hmm, Lincoln did mention that Raphael was a little difficult."
Meanwhile, in Luna and Luan's room,
"Aww cool! More Pokemon!" Lana exclaimed, seeing the Pokemon on the laptop screen.
"I don't really like the look of that lizard with the flaming tail," Lynn Sr. commented, seeing how fierce looking Inferna was.
"Never mind that. I'm more interested in those two!" Lola commented, seeing Queeny and Lapis.
"Maybe we can check them out later," Luan commented, as she ended the feed, "Though I have to say, Lincoln's pretty lucky to have gotten that free cruise pass."
"It's not fair! I should the one who gets to go on a cruise!" Lola whined.
"Well, not much we can do about it, Princess. Besides, those passes might've just been for trainers like your brother," Lynn Sr. theorized.
"Even more than the cruise he's going on, he actually got to meet aliens!" Lana added.
"I hope they came in peace," Lynn Sr. shuddered at the thought of an alien invasion.
"From the way it sounded, they must be friendly. Although, I don't think I'd like to meet the ruler of the universe," Luan commented, thinking about what kind of a person this ruler is.
"Well, I'm going to go watch some TV," Lola commented.
"Yeah, hopefully something good's on," Lana added, as she joined her twin in leaving.
"I should get going too. I have plans of my own," Lynn Sr. added, as he left as well, leaving Luan all alone.
'Lincoln's really doing well for himself out there. Makes me kind of want to tryout as a trainer myself,' Luan thought to herself with a giggle.
Meanwhile, in the Monster Realm,
Upon hearing the news that Lincoln would be the promised fiancé of each of them, the daughters of the royal families reacted in the way one would've expected, "N-N-Now, Loona, sweetie, let's not throw things!" the large wolf man said, trying to calm his daughter down, as he and Lucius got hit in the head with a potted plant, "Good throw," he slurred.
"This is bullshit!" the wolf girl, now known as Loona, barked, as she was trashing the conference room. Nearby, the mothers of the daughters were calmly watching the scene unfold.
"Loona, that's enough!" the red tuxedo wearing girl said, trying to deescalate the situation.
"'Enough'? 'ENOUGH'?! Charlie, didn't you hear what they just said?! We're being made to marry some random human kid we've never even met before!" Loona snarled, causing the clown girl, now known as Charlie, to flinch.
"Look, I'm not as thrilled about it myself, nor are the rest of us, but lashing out at our parents isn't going to help the case," Charlie said.
"So what, we just have to roll over and let them decide who we can marry?!" Loona snarled.
"I'm not saying that!" Charlie argued.
"This totally blows!" the owl teen complained.
"I honestly don't see the appeal to this. I mean, sure, the kid is cute and all, but how do we know he's even good enough for us?" the succubus teen questioned, taking a selfie.
"Well, you'll never know. This young man might prove to be everything you girls would want in a husband and more," the lavender skinned demon woman calmly commented, as she blocked an oncoming chair with ease.
"But Mom, I'm already dating Vaggie!" Charlie said, pulling the Mothman Girl in closer.
"Well, you never know; Maybe he'll appeal to Vaggie as well, and vice versa," Charlie's Mother replied.
"ENOUGH!" Lucius boomed, fire spewing out from behind him, causing Loona to stop her little rampage, "Look, we know you girls aren't too happy about it, but there's nothing we can do about it! This boy's great grandmother signed a contract with us, and as you know a deal with a demon…"
"'is unbreaking and unyielding by both sides of the deal, and must be carried out no matter what.' Yes Dad, we know. We've heard the same thing from you and everyone else in our lives more times than we would've liked," Charlie replied.
"I just want you to remember that when you eventually take over as ruler of the Monster Realm, pumpkin. So please, could you and the others at least TRY to give this Lincoln kid a chance?" Lucius asked in an encouraging tone, even whipping out the girls' greatest weakness: Puppy eyes.
"Oh, alright," Charlie huffed, still not happy about this.
"Whatever," the owl girl commented.
"He'd better not be a total pansy," Loona added.
"Well, as Verosika said, he is kind of cute," the Oni Girl added.
"I hope he'll be super nice to us!" the Minotaur girl added.
"I might as well see what this kid's about," Verosika commented.
"Like a fly caught in my webbing," the Arachne girl quietly said.
"Thank you, girls. Now, if you'll all go and make yourselves presentable, we must go and meet with his family," Lucius said. The girls all went into the next room with their mothers, leaving the fathers to look at the trashed conference room.
"Oh boy, Loona really did a number on the room," Stolas commented, as a portrait fell off the wall.
"She's going through a phase. I'm sure it'll pass before too long," Loona's father replied.
"So, where did you say you heard about this kid again, Stolas?" the Oni man asked.
"Infelicis informed me that one of the boy's sisters, a lookalike of Harriet from what he told me, cast the Karmic Misfortune Curse. And from what he told me, Lincoln's family was getting hammered pretty hard by the effects," Stolas explained.
"Hmm, sounds like this child might have the makings of a powerful witch, just like Harriet," Lucius commented.
"True. So, are we meeting this Lincoln kid when we arrive in his hometown?" Minister Taur asked.
"Unfortunately, according to Infelicis, Lincoln is supposedly in a remote region just off the coast of Japan. So, we'll have to wait," Stolas replied.
"Well, we can still at least introduce ourselves to his family," Lucius pointed out.
"Can we at least pinpoint where he's at?" the Oni Father asked.
"I shall try," Lucius replied, as he conjured a small viewing portal, "Ok, according to this, he's in a place called 'Kanto'. Sounds vaguely familiar."
"Well, we can always ask his family about it when we get there," Stolas stated.
"Fair point," Lucius replied, just as the girls came back from the other room. Charlie was still in her original outfit, while the other girls were wearing more presentable attire. Verosika and Loona were in more appropriate, regal attire, much to their annoyance, the Oni and Arachne girls were both wearing elegant dresses. The minotaur girl had on an outfit that at least covered up more skin, but did nothing to hide her colossal breasts, "Wonderful! Everyone is ready, so now we can go and meet with this Loud boy's family!" he said, as he summoned a portal.
"Yeah, and we're coming too!" the tallest imp said.
"You, Blitz? Last time I checked, you aren't part of any royal family, nor do you have any connection with this deal," the Succubus mother questioned.
"Maybe so, but Loona is still one of my faithful employees! Not to mention my daughter!" Blitz proclaimed.
"Only on paper, dipshit!" Loona snarked.
"Besides, I'm her actual father," the larger wolf man said, glaring down at the imp.
"Oh come on, Wolfgang, with how long she's been working as our receptionist, you can't deny the bond we've developed," Blitz said, holding Loona closer as she growled at her boss.
"It's true that I can't deny how well she's been socializing, but it doesn't change the fact that you can't officially adopt her as your own," Wolfgang replied.
"Dad, look, can we just let them come? Blitz is probably going to be a whiny bitch about it if we don't," Loona replied. Lucius and Wolfgang groaned in annoyance.
"Alright, fine! But he had better not cause any trouble, otherwise, I will personally send him back here," Lucius said in an all too serious tone that everyone in that room knew he meant business.
"If it helps, sire, Millie and I can help keep a tight leash on him," the shorter male imp said.
"Please do so, Moxxie. This could be our one chance to fulfil the deal we made with Harriet, and I'm not about to let this moron botch it up," Lucius replied, as they proceeded through the portal.
Meanwhile, in Royal Woods,
Luna and Sam were making their way towards the former's house with the intent to introducing Sam to her family, "Sam, I would just like to apologize in advance if Lori says anything like 'Luna, why did you bring this girl over instead of that Sam boy you've been going on about?'" Luna said.
"Thanks, Lunes, but haven't you told them I'm a girl?" Sam asked.
"I tried every time it brought up, but something always happened that kept me from doing so," Luna replied.
"Well, it'll all be on her when she finds out about me," Sam replied, as the approached the front porch of the Loud House.
"Right. Well, here goes nothing," Luna said, as she turned the knob to the house, and opened the door. Walking inside, both girls saw most of the sisters, save for Lori and Lynn, and Lynn Sr. sitting on the couch, watching TV alongside some of Lincoln's Pokemon, namely Raphael, Spirit, Goomy, and Andrea.
"Whoa, are those the Pokemon things your brother's been catching?" Sam asked in amazement.
"Yep. He sent this batch over earlier this morning. Of course, there are others," Luna replied, as she saw Inferna, Lapis, Astra and Queeny in the dining room with Rita, who was feeding Lily.
"This is so totally wicked," Sam commented.
"Oh, Luna. You're back already?" Rita asked.
"Yeah, we finished all of our plans for today, and are finishing up with bringing Sam here to meet all of you," Luna replied, motioning to her girlfriend.
"I see. So, you're the Sam Sharp Luna's been talking about," Rita said, greeting the blonde girl with a smile.
"Yes, ma'am. I'm one of Luna's bandmates," Sam replied. This caught the attention of the Loud Sisters who were watching TV.
"So, that's Sam?" Lana questioned.
"I thought Sam was a boy," Lola quipped.
"Well, 'Sam' could be short for 'Samantha'," Lisa replied.
"Well, either way, it's not our place to judge," Luan stated.
"I just wonder how Lori's going to react to this," Lola commented.
"No doubt she'll go postal," Lana replied.
"Who do you think this 'Lori' person is?" Inferna asked the others.
"We never actually saw her, but we do know that she's the oldest of Lincoln's sisters, and is really boss and rude. She's been trying to get Lincoln together with some girl he doesn't have romantic feelings for," Lapis replied.
"And that's only ONE of his problem sisters. There's another, ruder and crueler sister by the name of 'Lynn'. She finds it funny to make Lincoln upset, so we don't really like her either," Queeny added.
"That's awful! How could someone in his family be so cruel to their own brother?" Astra asked.
"If I had to take a guess, I'd say they were raised to believe themselves better than Lincoln," Spirit replied.
"What do you suppose these little guys are talking about?" Sam asked.
"Who knows? All they say is their own names. Although, Lincoln did mention that the Rainbow Wing he got before he started out gives him the ability to understand Pokemon," Luna replied, before noticing something, "Hey, where's Aizami?"
"I thought I saw it going out into the yard to soak in some sunlight," Rita replied.
"Anyhow, Sam, this is my dad, Lynn Loud Sr., and some of my little sisters, Luan, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily," Luna said, introducing her younger sisters, noticing Lucy wasn't there, "Hey, where's Lucy?"
"I believe she was up in the attic the last I checked," Lisa replied.
"Well, I can introduce you to her later. And as you probably heard, I have an older sister named 'Lori', as well as another younger sister, Lynn, but I think we can skip those two for now," Luna replied.
"Not so fast there, Luna!" the domineering tone of Lori said, as she descended the staircase, "I have every intent of seeing if this Sam boy is fit to…" it was then that Luna took note of the blonde girl Luna was with, "Luna, didn't you say you were bringing Sam over?"
"I did say that, and I did bring her over," Luna replied.
"Luna, I don't know who this is, but she can't be the Sam you've been talking about. I thought when you were talking about Sam, you meant that he was one of the guys in your band," Lori said, crossing her arms.
"What do you think 'Sam' is short for?" Sam asked, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Duh! Obviously it's short for 'Samuel' or 'Samson'," Lori said in a tone that made it clear she expected her to know that.
"And what about 'Samantha'?" Luna questioned.
"Luna, that's…"
"Completely and perfectly alright, Lori. Luna has full authority to date who SHE wants. If she wants to date a boy, then that's fine. If she wants to date a girl, then that's fine too," Rita said in an authoritarian tone.
"Mom, that's totally ridiculous! Same sex relationships only happen in fictional stories, like TV dramas or in story books!" Lori retorted.
"Lori, it's one thing to be sexist against your own brother and all men in the world, but to also be homophobic? Are you really that entitled?" Rita questioned.
"Mom, I'm not sexist or homophobic for two reasons!" Lori retorted.
"Oh, this ought to be good," Rita quipped, crossing her arms and looking at Lori with an expectant look on her face.
"One, women can't be sexist! Men, or in Lincoln's case, boys, always think of themselves as superior to women, thinking we're just frail, weak damsels who can't fight back," Lori said.
"Lori, I've looked at several security footages Lisa had shot with her security cameras, and I can safely say that you and the rest of your sisters are anything but 'weak and frail'," Rita said.
"Name one time that proves we weren't!" Lori dared.
"Well, there's the time you forced Lincoln into that double date with Ronnie Anne alongside you and Bobby, where you nearly flattened him with the corner table, then there are the times you threaten to turn him into a human pretzel for something ridiculous like going into your room without permission, and lets not forget about the whole incident with the Sister Fight Protocol," Rita effortlessly countered.
"I said 'name one time'," Lori said sheepishly.
"And what was that second point you mentioned?" Rita demanded.
"Right, my second point is that I'm all for same sex relations, and am willing to support them if they were existed in real life! If any of my sisters were to be seen dating another girl, they're bound to get harassed for it!" Lori said.
"And now for my counter to THAT point, Lori. I must refer you to the McBrides. Clyde has two fathers, both of whom are married to each other. Leni also mentioned that she helped one of her friends find a partner who was the same gender. I'm pretty sure that nullifies ALL of your objections," Rita pointed out, before remembering something, "Which reminds me, Lisa, were you able to get everyone to sign off on the new Protocol guidelines?"
"Unfortunately, not, Mother Unit, what with how everyone's been going in and out of the house so much lately. But I'll be right back down with them," Lisa said, getting up from her seat, "Let me know what happens, if you would," she said to her older sisters, before heading upstairs.
"What's this about new guidelines, and why weren't WE notified about them?" Lori questioned.
"I had Lisa add new guidelines to the protocol to include your brother, to make it more… oh, what's the word, acceptable?" Rita replied. Almost immediately, Lori shook her head.
"No, absolutely not, not happening! It's called the 'Sister Fight Protocol' for a reason! Lincoln isn't a sister, so he gets NO place in it at all!" Lori crossed her arms in a stubborn fashion.
"Lori, after the trial run last time, it became clear to me that the protocol needed a major overhaul," Rita replied.
"'Trial run'? What trial run? My fight with Leni over the dress was perfectly justified, and things went smoothly until Lincoln decided he just had to be involved," Lori replied, just as Lisa came back down with a folder.
"Alright, here are the new guidelines," Lisa said.
"Don't bother, Lisa. I've already vetoed them on behalf of everyone who DOES get a place in the protocol," Lori replied.
"Well, if you won't agree to the terms, then the protocol is now suspended until further notice," Rita declared.
"WHAT?! Mom, you can't be serious!" Lori exclaimed.
"She has a point, honey. What'll happen if the girls do have another fight again?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Then we'll resolve it as WE see fit, Lynn. Remember, WE are the parents of this house, so helping our kids resolve their disputes in an acceptable way is part of our duties. Besides, what would the girls do if Lincoln was in a fight with one of them?" Rita asked.
"Simple: We gang up on Lincoln, berating and belittling him for being a chauvinist twerp, while offering support to the sister he has the gall to be angry with," Lori explained. Rita could only pinch the bridge of her nose in irritation.
"Lori, that is NOT how a fight is supposed to be resolved! You have to find a way where BOTH parties can walk away happy and calm. Why do you even think that a 'plan' like that is even a good one?" Rita questioned.
"Because there are ten of us girls, and only one of that dorky twerp," Lori replied. Rita threw her hands up in irritation.
"That's it! The Sister Fight Protocol is hereby banned from this house! You girls are forbidden to use it under ANY circumstance!" she declared in a tone, indicating this declaration was final.
"But Mom…!"
"No 'buts'! If any of you so much as tries to implement it, then that sister is automatically grounded until Lincoln comes home!" Rita yelled, causing everyone there to flinch.
"But honey, Lincoln's room is…" Lynn Sr. got cut off.
"Only being blocked off for a month at our son's suggestion. Yes, I know that," Rita replied.
"Wait, what?!" the voice of Lynn said, as she ran into the room from downstairs, "You guys resealed the room because you got HIS permission?!" needless to say, Lynn was not happy.
"That's right Junior. And think of it this way; Now we'll see if your claims about your brother's room is true or not," Rita calmly replied.
"It won't work! We shouldn't have needed his permission to do it! For all we know, it could nullify the seal on the curse in his room!" Lynn yelled.
"Lynn, shut up! We resealed Lincoln's room like you wanted, so I don't see any issue," Luna replied.
"Except you didn't reseal it the way we should've done it! We should've resealed it without his permission! Now the whole point of the trial run is ruined!" Lynn yelled.
"Well, this is only time we're going to do it, Junior! So, you can either be happy with what you get or just suck it up!" Rita snapped. Lynn just stormed off in a huff. The sound of her slamming her door was heard from upstairs.
"Sorry you had to see that, Sam," Luna apologized.
"Hey, it's cool. I just didn't think a fight could get this heated," Sam replied.
"Because it's a Loud Family thing. An outsider like you wouldn't understand," Lori chided, as she went back upstairs.
"Maybe it's high time to take Maria's advice on disciplining those two," Rita murmured. Just then, a knock came from the door.
"I got it," Lynn Sr. said, as he got up from his seat, and walked over to the door. He turned the knob to open it, "Hell…" he stopped when he saw Lucius and company standing before him, "…o."
"Ah, Lynn, can't say it's a pleasure to see you again," Lucius said with a disgusted sneer. Lynn Sr. simply screamed like a little girl before passing out.
"Lynn, what are you…" Rita froze up, as did everyone else upon seeing the Monster Realm royals.
"Pardon our abrupt visit, but is this by chance the home of one Lincoln Loud?" Stolas asked.
