Hello everybody. Can't believe we're a week away from Christmas already. But anyway, here's the next chapter of this story. And I know you're all going to enjoy this.
Chapter 12: Getting Even with Lori and Chandler
After school the next day, Lincoln started to head back to his temporary home. George and Harold were gonna meet up with him after school. Unfortunately, as he was walking down the sidewalk, Lynn Jr., Lori and even Chandler were hiding in the bushes, waiting for him. And they had a homemade squirrel suit that they were gonna to try to force him to wear. When Lincoln got near, the three jumped out of the bushes. Lynn Jr. and Chandler grabbed Lincoln by the arms. "Gotcha, Larry!" said Chandler.
"Lynn, Lori, Chandler?!" asked Lincoln.
"You're coming back with us, Stinkoln!" said Lynn Jr.
"And you're going into a squirrel suit and never coming out!" said Lori.
"No! I won't!" said Lincoln as he struggled to break free.
"Oh yes you are!" sneered Chandler.
"Why are you even helping my former sisters?!" asked Lincoln.
"Anybody who doesn't like you is a friend of mine," said Chandler.
"You better stop this foolishness or you'll be sorry!" said Lincoln.
"Who's gonna stop us? Your girlfriend, Ronnie Anne?" taunted Chandler.
"She's not girlfriend!" said Lincoln.
"But you kissed her," said Chandler.
"That's because Lori forced me!" said Lincoln.
"Stop struggling! Don't make this harder for yourself!" said Lori. She removed the mask of the suit and prepared to put it on Lincoln's head. However, George and Harold were hiding in the area.
"We got to do something!" said Harold.
"I just got the thing," said George. He got out a jar that contained moths. George removed the lid. "Chow time, boys," said George. The moths flew to where Lincoln, Lynn Jr., Lori and Chandler were at. The moths began to swarm around the squirrel suit, eating it.
"Moths!" cried Lori.
"They're eating the costume!" cried Lynn Jr. Suddenly, Lincoln stepped on Lynn Jr. and Chandler's feet. They yelped as they let go of Lincoln to clutch their feet. Lincoln ran for it. The moths then began to eat Lori, Lynn Jr. and Chandler's clothes til they were in their underwear. People laughed at them loudly. The three turned red in embarrassment before fleeing.
George and Harold got Lincoln to the safety of the treehouse. "You saved my skin again," said Lincoln.
"Friends look out for each other," said Harold.
"We overheard your argument with those three idiots. Is it true you were forced into a relationship?" asked George. Lincoln sighed.
"It's true. My sisters have been forcing me into a relationship with a girl named Ronnie Anne, the younger sister of Lori's boyfriend, Bobby. Here's the thing, when I first met her, she was bullying me. But when I finally stood up to her, she ran off crying. Because of what happened, Bobby wouldn't speak to Lori. And Lori stupidly thinks I should get together with Ronnie Anne in order to get Bobby back. And Bobby wouldn't even let me explain myself. And Lori wants me to continue a relationship with Ronnie Anne so that her relationship with Bobby can be maintained," said Lincoln.
"That is so messed up on so many levels," said George.
"Yes. If Lori and Bobby do get married, it means you snd Ronnie Anne can't get married cause marrying in-laws is illegal," said Harold.
"I know. But she's too stupid to see that. I hate being forced into this relationship. I wish I can give her a taste of her own medicine of being forced into a relationship so that she'll understand how I feel," said Lincoln. As soon as Lincoln said that, George and Harold got an idea.
"That's the idea!" said Harold.
"Really? How?" asked Lincoln.
"Okay. Here's what we'll do," said George. And he began to explain his plan.
The three began their plan the next day. Lincoln was walking down the street while George and Harold stuck to the shadows to ensure nothing really bad happens. As Lincoln was walking, suddenly he was tripped up by Chandler. But when Lincoln fell, he dropped something. It was an envelope that had a heart-shaped seal on it. "What have we here?" asked Chandler. He swiped the envelope.
"It looks like a love letter to Ronnie Anne. I'm gonna show this to Lori and she will read it in front of Ronnie Anne! And you can't stop me, Larry!" said Chandler. And he ran off laughing rudely. George and Harold helped Lincoln up. Lincoln for some reason smirked.
"He took the bait, just as we predicted," said Lincoln.
"Oh Lori will read it alright," said George.
"And when she does, the joke will be on both of them," said Harold. The three boys snickered.
Chandler arrived to where Lori was at. She was confronting by Ronnie Anne. "You want me to what?!" asked Ronnie Anne.
"You heard me. I want you to convince Lincoln to stop running from us and get into a new squirrel suit. It's the only thing that can contain his bad luck," said Lori.
"Absolutely not! He's a human being, not an object!" said Ronnie Anne.
"You have no idea the bad luck he caused for us! And he's refusing to get into another one after he destroyed original suit! If we don't get him into another suit, his bad luck will contaminate us forever!" said Lori.
"I don't believe in bad luck," said Ronnie Anne.
"That's suicide not to believe in it! He won't listen to us, but he'll listen to you since you're his girlfriend," said Lori.
"I'm not his girlfriend!" said Ronnie Anne.
"Yes you are," said Lori. A bunch of other kids were gathering to hear the argument.
"We were forced into this relationship cause you want to hold onto Bobbie's relationship. I want out!" said Ronnie Anne.
"I'm afraid that's not possible anymore," said Chandler smugly as he came into the area.
"Chandler, what are you doing here?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"I'm delivering this love note from Larry since he's a coward to do it himself," said Chandler.
"Don't just stand there, Ronnie Anne. Open it," said Lori.
"I won't!" said Ronnie Anne. This made Lori mad.
"Now you're being a coward too?! If you won't read it, I will!" said Lori. And she snatched the envelope and opened it. She began to read the front of the card. "You're one hot mama," said Lori.
"Eeeeeeeeew!" cried most of the other kids. Chandler smirked at Ronnie Anne.
"Looks like you two are a thing," said Chandler. But when Lori opened the card, she was in for a nasty shock.
"Will you marry me . . . Lori Loud?! Signed, Chandler McCain?!" cried Lori.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWW!" cried the other kids even louder. Everybody else gasped. The air grew silent. Lori glared over at Chandler, who had turned bright red and began sweating profusely. He tried to speak. He tried to tell her it was all a big mistake. He tried to say SOMETHING . . . but all that came out was
"B-B-Bubba bobba hob-hobba-hobba wah-wah."
"Er, uuum, congratulations," said one of Chandler's friends, as he patted Chandler's sweaty, shivering shoulder. Both Clyde and Ronnie Anne viewed this as a chance to get back at Lori for her treatment toward Lincoln.
"Yes! CONGRATULATIONS!" shouted Ronnie Anne.
"This will be the best wedding in the whole wide world!" said Clyde.
"I got it! Instead of waiting til they're at the eighteen, let's have the wedding at a chosen location . . . a week from Saturday!" said Ronnie Anne.
"I'll ask Chandler's family plan everything!" said Clyde.
"You lovebirds don't have to worry about a thing!" said Ronnie Anne.
"What?! But what about my boo boo bear?!" asked Lori.
"Lori, Bobby won't get back together with you since you and your family refuse to accept Lincoln back into your family. So you might as well tie the knot with somebody new," said one of Lori's friends.
"Well I'm not marrying Chandler and that's final!" said Lori.
"You two don't have a choice," said Clyde.
"What do you mean we don't have a choice?" asked Lori.
"I saw how you, Lynn Jr. and Chandler tried to force Lincoln into a squirrel suit and recorded it on my phone. Lincoln also told me about how he was badly treated at home and recorded his talking too. And seeing you are being uncooperative, I think I'll show the footage to the police," said Clyde.
"No don't! Our family will be ruined!" cried Lori.
"Then if you don't want that footage to become property of the police, marry Chandler and your parents must agree to it," said Clyde. Lori growled before she sighed in defeat.
"Fine," said Lori.
"That's more like it," said Clyde.
"You're doing this to get back at me for ignoring you," said Lori.
"Maybe, maybe not," said Clyde.
"B-B-Bubba bobba hob-hobba-hobba wah-wah," said Chandler.
Clyde told George, Harold and Lincoln about everything that happened after Lori read the card. The three boys were laughing like hyenas. "It worked! It actually worked!" said George.
"Now Lori will finally understand how I feel!" said Lincoln.
"Serves them both right," said Harold.
"You've been what?!" asked Rita, Lynn Sr. and the other sisters.
"You heard me. I've been forced into a marriage with Chandler! And we're not even eighteen, but the other kids don't care! And I can't back down and you must all agree to it because Clyde blackmail me with evidence to use against us!" said Lori.
"Darn it! It seems ever since Luan and Lisa swap places with George and Harold, nothing has gone right for us!" complained Lynn Jr.
"This is the worst day of my life!" said Lori. Leni turned to Lola.
"Guess you know what it's like to be blackmailed, Lola," said Leni smugly.
"Shut up," said Lola.
George and Harold have not just saved Lincoln from being forced into another squirrel suit, they decided to give Lori a taste of her own medicine of being forced into a relationship and get back at Chandler at the same time too. I always loved the wedding prank that George and Harold pulled on Mr. Krupp and Ms. Ribble in Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. So I decided to pay tribute to the prank in this story. Next chapter, Luan tries to find a loophole to avoid getting detention for pulling a prank on Mr. Krupp, but learns it won't really work and she learns that the people won't cower in fear like back at home . . .
