Delilah Velazquest was so cool. She was the middle child of the Velazquest family. She was tomboyish and a well-meaning person, who is always looking for fun, and thinking about the well-being of others. As the family artist of the Velazquest family and loves to do art of any kind from take pictures, Painting, sewing she sew her own cosplay outfits. She was the author and artist of four published comic books. Played Roller hockey, comic book collecting, she was even trying to get into animation.
Unlike her boyfriend who likes to call himself "the man with a plan," even tho his usual elaborate plans fail. Delilah on the other hand realized living with so many crazy brothers was a challenge. It took planning, skill, and execution. If you weren't on your game, you'd get a game over, It sucked that she had to approach every day life like a freaking battle plan, but unlike Lincoln she would rather plan so everyone was happy in the end. Sure she can be selfish and do things for her own benefit she was human after all. Delilah however wasn't gonna screw over her brothers just to get the best seat in the family wagon.
Anyway Delilah was one of eleven children. She had ten brothers, half of whom were older, half of whom were younger. With so many siblings hanging around, getting out the door in the morning was a freaking nightmare. Every day, Delilah and Leo wound up helping their brothers get ready. It didn't help that there was always at least one guy dragging his feet. Every single day it was something. Monday, Milton couldn't find his math book and everyone had to tear down the house to help him dig it up; Tuesday, David overslept and waking him up took a whole act of God; Wednesday, Sammy stripped naked and lost his diaper, and Leo and the others had to stop what they were doing to get him ready; Thursday, Johnny didn't have a paper bag to wear and refused to leave the house. "I can't go out there like this, I'm practically naked." Then finally, on Friday, the boys all got into a Nerf gun fight after breakfast and lost track of time, even though Leo and her was right there to remind them they had to leave. "We got plenty of time." Tommy would say…even though they were already five minutes late. Friday was one of those days where no one seemed to take anything seriously. It was the end of the week and everyone was ready for the weekend. There was a sort of holiday atmosphere and they thought they could get away with more than they could on any other week day.
Not true.
Delilah's family had a reputation in the school system and the principal cut them absolutely zero slack. By this point, principal Huggins at Delilah's school had already had Leo, David, Tommy, Milton and Johnny as students and therefore knew the brothers well. It's not that they were bad kids, but they could be very energetic and rambunctious, like most boys their age. And of course any misdeeds they committed, no matter how slight or singular, was unfairly reflected on the rest. Leo had gotten into a few fights, mainly against bullies, and the principal acted like he was some kind of madman out to randomly attack people. Tommy and a few of his friends - gearhead types into cars and mechanics - pulled a prank once where they disassembled their math teacher's Ford Focus and put it back together backwards. Now he had the reputation as a prankster even though he really wasn't.
Four of Delilah's brothers had already passed through the middle school and the principal - and all the teachers - had it in their heads that they knew Delilah. They thought that she was late every day because she was playing along with his brother's antics. What donut holes! She didn't want to be late. She didn't want to get in trouble, get ISS, and get yelled at. She wanted to just get to school on time like everybody else, darn it.
It was morning, two days before her mom's birthday, Delilah woke to the bleating of the alarm on her bedside table. The room was dark save for a sliver of early light falling through the window. She rolled over, slapped the off button, she started to fall back asleep, but forced herself to sit up. Her eyelids fought to close and her head felt light and swimmy, but she didn't have a single second to waste. She sat up, shook the sleep from his head like a wet dog. Blinking her tired and puffy eyes. She waited for the mist of sleep to slowly clear from her mind, then got up and stretched.
"Okay, let's get up." She said. She looks down at her night wear, orange flannel plaid pajamas. Her mother told her at a younger age she needed to cover up since she was a lady living among so many boys. Delilah understood that, she was pretty sure brothers and sisters didn't want to see each other half naked let alone naked.
She went out into the hall and skidded to a halt. Delilah shuddered. There was a line for the bathroom. Like always.
Tommy, Milton, Larry, Charlie and Frankie stood single file in front of the bathroom. Delilah's bladder twinged and she suddenly realized she had to pee. She however noticed Leo, David, Johnny and Luis were missing.
Delilah tapped Frankie's shoulder, "Frank we're missing bros got any ideas where they are?"
Frankie pressed button on his chair and study a screen that popped up, "Based off my DNA tracers Johnny and Luis are in their sleeping quarters, Leo is in the garage and David is in the shower."
Delilah smiled and kissed Frankie's forehead, "Thanks boy genius." Delilah walked up to the bathroom, ignored the twins out cry for cutting and knocked. A crack of line shone beneath the door and she could hear the muffled hiss of the shower beyond. He considered waiting, but she had to get 11 kids out the door and she made up her mind. She knocked and waited a second, no reply. "Yo!" She called. "Can we use the sink and toilet?"
"Yeah." David replied.
Opening the door to a burst of steam, Delilah went inside, walking carefully because the floor was wet from the massive number of showers that had already been taken yesterday. The mirror over the sink was heavily with condensation and the counter was littered with toothbrushes the trashcan next to it was overflowing with used tissues, empty toilet paper tubes, and other assorted garbage. Though Mom hounded them nonstop, the bathroom and many of their bedrooms were a complete and utter mess.
Behind the curtain, Delilah could just make out a shadowy form. "Sup sis? How you doing? Good thing you not Johnny. He keeps throwing ice water over the curtain and getting me." David said.
Johnny. He could be thoughtful and inventive at times, but other times, he could be a big dumb loudmouth who thought it was literally impossible for him to be wrong about literally anything. He liked to pull pranks - it wasn't necessarily "his thing", but occasionally, the spirit would take him and he'd do something.
"Oh, I'm fine look we gotta move so hope you don't mind company. Alright guys brush, pee, quick showers go!" Delilah yelled.
Tommy, Milton, Larry, Charlie and Frankie charged the bathroom while David let out a scream. Delilah dodged her brothers and went to Johnny and Luis's room. She knocked on the door, "Guys get up." When she got no reply she sighed, "Look I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my privilege as your only sister by coming in anyway."
Delilah entered the room Johnny was sleeping in a bunk bed her shares with Luis, but Luis wasn't in his bed. He was sharing a vampire coffin with Lucy at the moment.
Delilah jumped, 'What was Lucy doing here?!'
Luis's eyelids fluttered open and his mind switched on like his and Johnny's ancient PC warming up for the day. (A hand me down from grandpa) He smacked his lips, stirred, and blinked his grainy orbs. The mist in his head slowly filtered away and his vision swam into focus.
Why was the ceiling so high?
Even as the thought formed, the dawn of understanding spread across his brain. He was in the vampire coffin Lucy gave him as a present.
He rubbed his eyes and the world swam into focus.
A terrible tomboyish face stared down at him from above.
Luis let out a terrified screamed in a cold, robotic manner and sat bolt upright. Lucy screamed too, in a cold, robotic manner as well and Luis screamed again.
Luis looked towards Lucy, "Lucy." He panted, heart racing, "You scared me half to death. What are you doing?"
"Good morning, Luis." Lucy said.
"Good morning, Lucy. Again, what are you doing?" Luis asked.
"I was looking for you so I can watch him sleep, but I got tired so I slept by your side." Lucy said with a blush.
Luis blushed too, "Oh."
"Now that we are awake could you help me with my new poem, I need a word that rhymes with "choose"." Lucy asked.
Luis looked over her book, "Uh...how about "lose"?"
Lucy nodded, "That works." She writes it down.
Delilah grows confused, "Uh...creepy. Touching, but creepy. Look Lucy you can't stay here Lincoln is probably trying to get you and the others out the door. I know cause me and Leo have to do the same right now."
Hanging her head in defeat, Lucy sighed. "I'll come back after school."
She disappeared and Delilah and Luis waited a few minutes to make sure she was actually gone before jumping down. Johnny moaned, "Little Sis, it's too early!" Johnny said. He lay on his side in the pool of shadows that was his bunk.
"I know," Delilah said as she looked at Johnny while offering a hand towards Luis, "But we gotta get going, we don't wanna be late."
"Late is unacceptable." Luis said and sprang out of bed.
"Atta boy," Delilah said. Luis was a man after his own heart. He didn't take being late to school quite as seriously as Delilah herself did but he was certainly an ally.
"Personally, I like being late," Johnny said and folded his arms grandly under his head. "Less time at school."
Delilah climbed onto the bunk bed and looked at Johnny, "Too bad, let's move it."
Johnny's face darkened and he pushed Delilah away. "Get outta my face, Sis. It's too early to smell your rank butt breath." Johnny sat up and stretched. "I hope there's Froot Loops. I'm starving."
Like every morning, Delilah's brothers all tried to force their way through the bedroom doors at once and got stuck. Much slapping, cursing, and wiggling ensued. Having anticipated this, Delilah reeled her foot back and kicked them through, "Thanks, Sis." Johnny and Luis said in unison.
"Don't mention it, guys." Delilah said and touched her index finger to her forehead in a salute. She had been living with brothers since she could remember and was, therefore, understood them and was the best (After Leo) equipped to deal with them. With them, you had to anticipate the unanticipatable. They were all so different from each other but yet fundamentally the same: You had to give them a kick in the butt sometimes to get them on their way.
When you got right down to it, all of her brothers were like that, hence her little dilemma. If they didn't need a good kick in the rear, she wouldn't be flippin' floppin' late every single goshdarn day.
Delilah took her whiz, washed her hands, took a shower and brushed her teeth while she was at it. She left the bathroom then got dressed to hunt down Leo.
-Earlier in the morning at the Loud House-
Lincoln is putting the finishing touches on something.
Lincoln lets out a breath, "Ok I did It took 3 weeks, 4 boxes of pasta, 2 tubes of glue, and 27 popsicle sticks, but the centerpiece of my project is finally finished." It's reveals a diorama of Lincoln's daily chaos in a replica of the show's first promotional poster.
"Pretty accurate representation of the Loud Family, I'd say. But making this thing was the easy part. The real challenge is getting it to school on time and in one piece to give my report. If I want to get all ten of my sisters out the door on time, I have to get up pretty early, and have to have a plan." Lincoln said.
Thudding sounds are heard. A commotion starts to take place and the water from Lincoln's glass starts to shake, indicating only one thing, "The ten-headed beast has awoken. Ah!" He takes the diorama and steps out the door, but quickly busts out an umbrella to avoid a pail of water pouring onto him and his diorama, "Not today, Luan."
Luan glares, "Oh, we'll see about that. Pailure is not an option!" She laughs, "Get it?"
Lincoln look annoyed, "I'll just take this to the car later. But first. Luna. A little "Man with the plan" music?"
Luna slides out of her room holding her guitar and tossing her pick, "You got it, man!" She starts playing while Luan prepares to strike again.
The twins are fighting over a dollar.
"It's my dollar!" Lola yelled.
"No, it's mine!" Lana yelled back.
"Let go!" Lola yelled tugging.
"No, you let go!" Lana yelled tugging as well.
Lincoln looks at his little sisters, "Big brother time."
"You let go!" Lola yelled not letting go of the dollar.
"Stop it!" Lana yelled not giving up.
Lincoln takes their dollar.
The Twins glare at Lincoln, "Hey!"
Lincoln gives them exact change, "Half for Lola, half for Lana."
The twins grinned, "Thanks, Lincoln!"
Lucy shows right behind her brother, "Good morning, Lincoln."
Lincoln gets startled, "Yah! Good morning, Lucy."
Lucy pulled out her book, "I need a word that rhymes with "fan"."
Lily starts walking around the room.
Lincoln thinks about it, "Uh...how about "man"?"
Lucy writes it down, "That works."
Lincoln grabs Lily's baby clothes, "Time to get dressed, Lily!"
Lynn with a football pops up, "Hey, Lincoln! Think fast!" She tosses it.
Lincoln tosses Lily in the air and catches the football.
Lynn chuckles, "Nice catch, Lincoln."
Lincoln smiles, "Nice throw, Lynn." He gives it back to Lynn and then he catches Lily and starts to dress her.
Lori walks out of her room while on her phone texting with Leo, "OMG, Leo. I literally had to text you right away. I am just so excited about the homecoming dance."
Lincoln notices that Luan has placed another bucket right above Lori and Leni's door and quickly opens his umbrella to save Lori before she gets drenched by a pail of water.
Lori doesn't notices the pail, "I know, right? You're so sweet!" She giggles.
Lincoln makes the "I'm watching you" gesture to Luan.
Luan gives determined face, "I'll get the drop on you yet." She laughs, "Get it?"
Lori looks at Lincoln, "What do you want twerp?"
Lincoln points a thumb to Luan, "Lori, Luan it on the loose watch out. Also could you maybe hang up text and get ready for school?"
Lori was about to chew him out about being quite capable of doing two things at once, "Cool it, twe-Lincoln. I can do both, infact I'm working on improving myself to be more mature."
Leni comes by with a bubble from her gum and trips.
"Leni?" Lincoln/Lori said.
Leni got back up, "Note to self: never walk and chew gum at the same time."
Lori sighs with annoyed look.
Lincoln panics, "Time's running out!" He rushes back to his room.
Lynn runs in kicking a Soccer ball, "Lincoln! Think fast!" She kicks it.
Lincoln dives and catches the ball into another room offscreen; Lola and Lana walk out of their room; Lincoln tosses the ball back, heads into his room and picks up his project, "Okay, let's get you downstairs."
Lisa comes out of her room with a steaming flask, "Scatter! She's gonna blow!"
Lincoln makes a U-turns, "Or not." He puts his project back in his room and runs back to aid Lisa, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" He adds an extra chemical to the flask and stops it from exploding, "Phew. Lisa, you're always forgetting the dinitrotoluene."
Lisa begins walking back to her room, "Silly me. Much appreciated." After entering it flask it explodes anyway, "I'M STILL ALIVE!"
Lynn pops up again dressed as Lunatic Lynn, "AYYYEEE! LUCHA LIBRE!" She lunges and screams as she falls down the stairs, "Todo bien..."
Lincoln sees Lily walking along the hallway behind him, "Lily! Pants!" He slips baby pants on Lily.
Lola and Lana are arguing over who gets to use the bathroom first.
"I was here first!" Lola yelled.
"No, I was!" Lana yelled.
"Nuh-uh, I was!" Lola yelled.
"No way! I was!" Lana yelled.
"You always say that!" Lola yelled.
"You do!" Lana yelled.
Lincoln puts on a pair of roller skates and goes into the bathroom.
Lola and Lana both stop fighting noticed, "Hey! No cutting!"
Lincoln gives them their toothbrushes and liberally applies toothpaste to them.
Lola and Lana then feel better for Lincoln helping them, "Thanks, Lincoln!"
Lincoln tosses the toothpaste tube back where it belongs and skates down the hall.
Leni looks around, "Has anyone seen my zit cream?"
Lincoln hands it to her.
Lori got distracted again, "I literally found the cutest dress to wear!"
Lincoln looks annoyed at her lack of punctuality.
Lucy pops up, "A word that rhymes with "stuck"."
Lincoln skates by, ""Luck"."
"How do you stop a rhino from charging?" Luan asked.
Lincoln skates by, "You take away his credit card!"
Luan laughs as Lincoln skates by.
Lincoln leaping over Lisa who's writing a mathematical formula on the wall, "Mom said no solving for X on the walls!" He passes by Lucy who's about to ask him for another rhyme for another word in her poem, "Same! Blame! Game! Fame!"
Lynn puts her hands on her hips with a glare, "Where the heck are my roller skates? I've got field hockey today!"
Lincoln takes them off and returns them, "Wait. There's no roller skates in field hockey."
Lynn smiles, "The way I play, there is!" She grabs them and goes to put them on.
Lily comes toddling by.
Lincoln grabs her, "Gotcha! Phase one of Operation Get Ready For School and Into the Car on Time is complete. Now comes phase two: breakfast." He carries Lily down the stairs.
Luna finishes her number, "THANK YOU!"
-Meanwhile at the Velazquest house-
Leo was in the garage, he was doing morning warming up. He did some stretches before doing a few dozen push ups and sit ups. During the sit ups, with each time he rised, he would quickly thrust his elbows one at a time over his knees while his hands held onto his head. Afterwards, he did a couple minutes of squats to finish the warm up off.
"All right.." Leo took a deep breath to ease his heavy breathing as he stepped in front of the punching bag. He reached down to grab at the bottom of his shirt before pulling it off and tossing it aside. You know, for comfort! Definitely not to show off the muscular form that had him feeling so confident and proud everyday. Oh no siree!
Anyway, Leo now stared at the punching bag with a harsh glare, his fists clenching strongly near his sides and his right foot moved a step back, his left foot remaining where it was. Then with the raise of his fists and a firm posture, Leo got into a combat stance.
Boof! Boof!
Suddenly, with swift speed, he threw two jabs at the bag!
Boof! Boof! Boof!
He then threw two more jabs followed by a gut punch!
Boof! Boof! Boof! Boof! Boof! Boof! Boof! Boof!
Eager to get straight to the fun part, Leo started to throw a flurry of punches and elbows at the bag without stopping for the next couple of minutes, grunting loudly with each attack and the sounds of his powerful strikes filled the garage.
After those two minutes..
"AAAH!" Boof!
With a cry, Leo's workout concluded after he delivered a final punch to the poor bag, striking hard enough to make it dangle violently for a moment.
Despite his clear exhaustion, Lincoln remained standing as he reached up to run a hand back through his wet hair. He stretched out his fingers after lowering his hands down by his hips. Then after closing his eyes, he tilted his head upwards and indulged in the afterglow of the intense exercise, allowing the sweat that had accumulated on his form to slide down and go in between the cracks of his tight, well-toned muscles.
For a good minute, he was allowed to remain alone and in silence, if one can ignore his heavy breathing, before he heard the side door of the garage open and he quickly steered his sights over to whomever was entering.
"Of course you'd be in here." Said a voice that was familiar to the Velazquest boy.
Leo smirked upon seeing one of his younger siblings, Delilah, she enter the garage already dressed for the day.
After taking a breath, he responded humorously. "You make it sound as if it doesn't happen everyday." He chuckled as he once again cleaned himself of his sweat.
Delilah smiled tiredly at his comment after yawning, rubbing at her eyes gently. "Good point." She replied.
"Guess It's time to get everyone for school huh?" Leo asked as he became curious. He walked up to his and stopped in front of her.
Delilah smiled and put her on hips, "Yeah, but I did 80% of our job while you were busy destroying your bag so all you gotta do is drive us to school muscles." She cocked her head towards the punching bag while flashing a small smirk.
"Heheh.. I see. S-Sorry about that. I'll own you one baby sis." He assured her as he rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Yes you do own me." Delilah chuckled as she grabbed Leo's hand so they could leave the garage, "Anyway, you better take a shower you smell like Lynn and David after a marathon."
So, after getting his top up off the floor, Leo turned off the garage light and followed Delilah's into the house himself to take a quick shower so he can be ready to do his responsibilities as a determined and loving big brother.
Delilah walks into the living room with Leo on her tail. Leo went upstairs to shower so he could get ready for breakfast. Before Delilah could check on her brothers she heard something else that caught her attention. Quickly and being a bit surprised, the middle child turned her head to the right to see her mother and father rushing out of their bedroom.
Then it clicked for Delilah as she smiled, "Morning, Mom and Dad!" She greeted chipperly, "You guys ready work?" She inquired as she glanced at the front door.
Pacing over to the front door, Elizabeth replied hurriedly. "Oh, good morning, Sweetie! Yup, we sure are." She answered as she flashed her a warm smile while she was heading the door.
"Good! Be safe I love you!" Delilah said waving good bye.
Jason and Elizabeth was well aware that they were busy and in a hurry, but they both quickly ran back to their daughter and leaned in to give her cheek a gentle kiss, "We love you too!"
Jason grabbed his wife's hand, "We'll see you guys later this evening! Love you, and tell the boys I love them too!" He said as he dragged his wife out the door and stepped out.
Delilah gave a wave as she was closing the door.
When Delilah was left alone in the living room Larry ran up to get her attention holding a piece of paper in hand, "I need help!" He finally huffed.
"What is it?" Delilah asked.
"Math." Larry said.
Delilah helped him, and then after Tommy and David ran up towards her for help. David couldn't find his basketball jersey. Turns out, it was in the dryer, washed and cleaned by Mom unbeknownst to him. Tommy couldn't find his homework he was tearing the house apart looking for it, Delilah ended up finding it in his backpack, where he had put it the night before.
He didn't even do it.
"Whoops." he said, "I better get this real quick."
Delilah facepalmed.
Jumping to Leo he smiled as he checked his phone for any texts from Lori. After getting dressed into his usual clothes, having just finished with his quick shower a couple of minutes ago. After checking his phone he was exiting his bedroom he heard Sammy cry out.
Leo walked into Frankie and Sammy's room and saw Sammy moving around in his crib clearly upset.
Leo picked him up and saw his youngest sibling crying, "Aw don't worry Sammy big bro is here." Leo felt for Sammy's dipper, it felt full. Leo changed Sammy's diaper and got him dressed. After that Sammy calmed down now however Sammy looked barely conscious, he must have woke up by soiling himself.
"Leo.." Sammy said.
Leo gave a smile knowing exactly what he wanted him to do.
Sammy yawned as he lifted his arms slightly when Leo picked him up with ease and held him close to him. Sammy smiled as he rested his head on Leo's left shoulder. Leo walked out of the room that Sammy shared with the brainy brother of the bunch. When turning the second corner, he slowly descended down to the first floor and went to the kitchen to see if Johnny was in there.
Leo saw in the kitchen, Johnny bustled around making breakfast and lunches. Johnny helped by making the meals for the family for breakfast today - scrambled eggs, frozen sausage patties, and toast - so it would get done quicker.
Since he was already there, Leo decided to do Johnny a solid and helped him pack everyone's lunch.
"Sleep well, Johnny?" Leo softly questioned after giving Sammy's forehead a good morning kiss. He then moved back over to the lunches and started packing them. When getting there, he was careful to ensure that Sammy didn't fall and get hurt. He also texted Lori as not to ignore her.
Johnny shrugged at his question as he worked on breakfast, "I slept okay, I guess.. tho I wish I didn't have to go to kid prison."
Leo chuckled, "Hey it's not so bad at least you get to see your girlfriend at school."
Sammy nuzzled into Leo's neck. "Lily.." He said in his sleep as he Immediately started emitting soft, adorable snores.
In the midst of cooking some eggs, Johnny smiled, "Ha seeing Lynn there is the only good thing."
After Johnny was done making breakfast and lunch Leo called out forever one to come soon the other siblings all stampeded in.
They sat at the table and scarfed their food down.
It took nearly three quarters of an hour, but eventually the siblings were all washed up, dressed up into their usual clothes and at the table eating their breakfast. Still having a little over half an hour before they needed to head to school. The siblings weren't in a massive rush to finish their meals, but they couldn't be slow to eat either.
"So babe do you have a pic of this "perfect tux" you want me to wear?" Leo texted to Lori usually as he eats he texts away at his phone to chat endlessly with Lori.
Delilah had concern a look on her face.
Charlie noticed his sister's face, "What's wrong big sis?"
Delilah looked towards her baby bro, "I'm just worried about Snow Bunny we have a project today and he's probably trying to keep it in one piece over there. I hope he's ok?"
-Back at the Loud House-
Breakfast is being made; An egg falls onto the skillet and it's shown that Lincoln is in charge of cooking today.
Lincoln smiled as he work on the eggs, "Cooking is usually Dad's territory, but I gave him the day off 'cause I have to kick things into high gear." He begins serving certain eggs to certain sisters., "Egg whites for Leni, sunny-side up for Luna, funny-side up for Luan..."
"Great yolk!" Luan said then laughs.
Lincoln servers the rest, "Scrambled for Lynn, fried for Lisa, deviled eggs for the twins, and..."
Lori still on the phone with Bobby, "Oh, and I picked out the perfect tux for you to wear, Bobby."
Lincoln growing more irritated, "...hard boiled for Lori." He serves some runny eggs on Lily's high chair, "Extra goo goo gooey for Lily." He serving some rather burned eggs to Lucy, "And for Lucy, extra well done."
Lucy gave a small smile, "If I had a heart, it would be swelling right now."
After everyone has finished breakfast they start heading for the door.
Lincoln guided them to the door, "All righty, then, we are dressed and fed, and now we have our backpacks and lunches prepared to dietary needs. We're just waiting on Lori."
Lori enters with the keys to the van, "Ha ha, I said puce not puke, funny guy. It's- like a reddish brownish."
Lincoln groans, "Everyone, wait here while I grab my project!" He runs up the stairs. Cliff and Charles run out of his room before he picks it up, "Time for phase three: getting you out the door and in one piece."
Geo rolls his hamster ball right under Lincoln's foot, causing him to step on it and slip.
Lincoln panics, "Whoa, whoa!" He rolls down the stairs and stops right in front of the door before impact, "Phew. Okay then, we're all ready to go? Time for phase four, out the door!"
Right before they can get out the door...
Lori got angry at Leo, "Fine! If you don't wanna wear the tux, then I don't wanna go to the dance! In fact...I DON'T EVEN WANNA GO TO SCHOOL!" She screams in frustration.
Lincoln panics, "So close..." He puts his project down, "Wait!" The other sisters chat over each other and are about to walk back to their rooms, but he cuts in front of them and stops them, "No no no no no. Everyone, head to Vanzilla Leni please drive everyone to school." Lincoln picks up his project and places it on the table. He heads across the street to the Velazquest's house.
Lincoln sees as he begins crossing the street Leo, Johnny and Delilah standing by the door with Leo holding the door, Johnny handing his siblings their lunches and Delilah kept an eye on Sammy as she tapped a foot on the floor.
"As always! Line up, get your bag and head to the Kong Van!" Leo instructed as Johnny grabbed the first lunch for the first sib in line.
"Frankie, Charlie, Larry, Luis, Milton, Tommy, David." Johnny said as he held out each lunch.
"Much appreciated, brother." Frankie adjusted his goggles as he took his bag, nodding gratefully before wheeling by.
"Thank you very much, big bro." Charlie bowed elegantly to the boy before leaving.
"Thanks Snack Pack!" Larry said grabbing his bag, the two gladly fist bumped before Larry stepped out.
"Thanks J." Lucy faintly smiled at Johnny be he took his bag and walked out.
"T-Thanks g-gotta say, Johnny. I'm very surprised that you still got being a chef in the bag." Milton joked as he grabbed his lunch. Luan and Johnny must be rubbing off him.
"Much thanks, little dude!" Tommy chipperly said grabbing his lunch and placing one strap over his left shoulder before throwing the pouch around to his back. He gave Johnny a two fingered salute as he was walking out.
"Aye, thanks bro." David chuckled. Instead of the usual fist bump they did, he opted to bump his free fist against the boy's clothed abs, grinning down at him as he did. As always, the motion hurt Johnny slightly.
Johnny showed a bit of pain, but he then grinned back at David. "Careful. Don't go trying to hurt me to much now." Johnny joked in a cocky manner, the two sharing a laugh at that as David walked out.
"Thanks, baby bro." Leo said as he rubbed Johnny's head as he took his lunch.
Delilah grabbed her and Sammy's lunch before kissing Johnny on the cheek, "Thanks Rat Boy!"
"Hey don't insult the guy who can spit in your food!" Johnny yelled before getting to the Kong Van.
With the line having ended Leo made sure that he had his phone, keys and wallet in his pockets. "Got everything..? Great! Time to go then!"
And with that, Leo locked the door upon shutting it.
Lincoln made it across the street as the Velazquest siblings loading and buckling up into Kong Van with Delilah being in the front passenger seat. David, Tommy and Milton were in the first row of the back seat. Johnny, Luis and Frankie were in the second row. Then lastly, Charlie, Larry and Sammy were in the third row.
Lincoln yelled, "Guys, wait! I need your help!"
Delilah noticed her boyfriend, "Linc? You ok?"
Lincoln took a breath, "I-I need (gasp gasp) Leo to drive Lori to school she shut herself in her room!"
Leo gave a deadpan look, "Really?! She's throwing a temper tantrum over wearing the tux. Wait then that mean she's serious about just not driving you!" Leo realized.
Johnny pops his head out, "Sounds like Linc needs help guys."
Lincoln put his hands together, "Leo can you drive Lori to school please?"
Leo nodded, "No prob Linc! David you drive us to the others to school. Lincoln you're with me."
David moves to the driver's seat, "So, we all good to go?" David asked as he put on his seatbelt and started the vehicle, gazing up at the rear view mirror to look at the ones in the backseats.
They all immediately assured him that they were.
"Okay, let's go." With that, David puts the van into reverse and carefully pulled out of the driveway before taking off.
Lincoln and Leo made their way across the street back to the Loud House. Lincoln smiles knowing everything's back on track, however, he sees Luna is getting some help putting her amps into the van, "What's all this?"
Luna smiled sitting on a amp, "It's my gear, dude. I have rehearsal."
Lincoln pointed at the guy, "And who's that?"
"This is my roadie, Chunk." Luna answered.
Chunk tips his hat to Lincoln.
Lincoln looked between Luna and Leo, "Ok. When you're done promise to go to school ok?"
Luna nodded, "No prob, bro!"
Lincoln opens the door for Leo and they walk inside.
Lincoln picks up his project while Leo heads upstairs, "Ok we should find a way to-"
Leo knocks on Lori and Leni's door, "LORI GIRL! YOU BETTER OPEN THIS DOOR BEFORE I KNOCK IT DOWN ON TOP OF YOU! IT'S THAT WHAT YOU WANT!"
Lori angrily refuses to come out, "GO... AWAY!"
Leo groans before stepping back and kicking Lori and Leni's door down.
Lori screams, "LEO?! HAVE YOU LITTERILY LOST YOUR MIND?!"
Lincoln hears scream as Leo carries Lori firemen style over his shoulder, and comes out of her room as Lincoln watches in shook.
Leo smiles, "Come on Lincoln we gotta hurry up and get you to school."
Lori screams, "LEO PUT ME DOWN! I'LL LITTEILY MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE DEAD!"
Leo rolled his eyes, "It's always such a hassle getting you out of the door in the morning." Leo said and heads to his car.
Lincoln locks the house and notices Vanzilla is gone and smiles, "Operation complete! Let's roll!"
Leo stuffs Lori in the front passenger seat and Lincoln sits in the back. As Leo starts up the car, Lori can be heard complaining in the front. Leo changes the setting to Reverse mode, and starts rolling out and once they hit the street the head to school.
As they get closer to Emelmentry school Leo decides to talk to Lori, "Hey, babe. I'm...I'm sorry and If you want me to wear the ugly tux I will."
Lori gasps and squeals with delight, "Oh, Leo!" She laughs with joy, "You do that for me?"
Leo nodded, "Yes, but you can't take control of everything I'm your boyfriend not your slave. You understand?"
Lori nodded, "I do. I'm sorry Leo."
"Good. Don't forget to apologize to your sibs later too." Leo added.
When Leo pulled up to the school and Lincoln jumped out, he checked his watch and his jaw dropped. He made it to school on time with time to spare! A Loud House first. He did it. He actually did it. The Hallelujah chorus struck up and Lincoln basked in the warm glow of his accomplishment.
-Jump to Mrs. Johnson's Class; Lincoln is giving his report-
"In conclusion, in my family, every day is a challenge. But you can be sure that when I need them, my sisters will always be there for me. All of them and sure, life in the Loud House can be summed up in one word: chaos. But I love that chaos. And I wouldn't trade it for the world."
Mrs. Johnson applauding Lincoln's performance, "That was a fantastic report, Lincoln. I'm giving you an A." She looked over at her list, "Next up is Delilah Velazquest. Ok Delilah your next! Delilah?"
Delilah was…promptly fast asleep.
When Lincoln walked up to her and shook her she woke her up, class was in full swing and Mrs. Johnson was sitting at over her desk. The rest of class was laughing.
Delilah nervously chuckled, "Sorry Mrs. Johnson had to round up my brothers."
"...Understanable." Mrs. Johnson said giving the middle child of the Velazquest family a pass.
The End.
