"Bobby, you're doing great at the bodega! Your Grandpa couldn't be prouder of you!"
Lori was having one of her many cell phone conversations with her out of state boyfriend. While seeing one another could only happen every so often, their phones always kept them connected. Lori had dropped everything to chat with her Bobby-boo-boo-bear, well everything except grabbing a glass of juice from the kitchen.
Making her way down the stairs, Lori had to dodge the twins chasing one another. Unlike her sister, Leni, she could easily multitask and didn't miss a step. Sliding up the wall she continued down.
"I know. I know. Wait! I literally didn't know that!" Lori was about to enter the kitchen when the sight of her brother caught her attention.
The little twerp was right in front of the fridge getting a snack. As he fumbled with some tupperware that contained some leftover mac n' cheese, his phone was secure wedged between his ear and shoulder. Lori stopped to listen to his conversation out of pure curiosity.
"Yeah, I got the entire weekend free so we could have our date!" Lincoln managed to open the lid to his left overs, "I can't wait to see you all too."
Wait a second, did the twerp say he had a date?
Our little Linky?
"OM-Gosh!" Lori shouted into her receiver. "I gotta go boo-boo-bear! Lincoln just literally revealed some juicy gossip! Bye-bye!" The blonde teen ended the call just in time for her brother to finish zapping his leftovers.
The white haired boy was blissfully unaware of his sneaky sister as he left with his hot plate. He hummed as he walked which acted as the perfect distraction for the teen. After finishing his own call, Lincoln had inserted his phone into his back pants pocket. It hung loose and open for the quick handed girl. With a bit of sleight of hand, Lori had 'borrowed' her little brother's phone. Lincoln was none the wiser as he took his food upstairs.
"Let's see…" Lori quickly inputted the boy's code. For being the second most tech savvy kid in the family he sure did like leaving sticky notes with passwords around. The last call was to a QT, she chuckled. "Geez, Linc, you really got to work on those pet names." Her fingers quickly tapped.
Lincoln: Hey, QT, you free tonight?
After a brief moment, a response shook the phone.
QT: Meeting with the girls actually, sweetie. Why?
Aww, she called Lincoln sweetie. This girl is so cute. But if she's busy.
Lincoln: Too bad, I wanted to introduce you to my family.
A very long pause occurred as QT typing appeared on screen.
QT: WAIT REALLY?! Are you really going to introduce us?! No more hiding, finally out in the open? Three months of secrecy over like that?
Whoa, three months? Lincoln must have been super serious about this girl. Lori considered her words carefully.
Lincoln: Yes, babe. We can be together at last. I know my family will love you just as much as I do. 3
Oh crap, that heart was probably too much.
QT: 3 3 3
Never mind.
QT: I'll tell the girls and be over in a jiffy.
Jiffy?
QT: Do they have anything they like? I really, really, really want to make a good impression!
Lincoln: Chocolate.
Her response had been a bit too fast on that one, luckily Lincoln's girlfriend didn't notice.
QT: Will do! Love you, sweetie! 3 XOXOXO!
Lincoln: XOXOXO
Whoo, and there we go. Lori confidently harrumphed in the middle of the dining room. Oh, they'd need an extra chair tonight. She laughed to herself.
"Hey, Lori," Her snow haired little brother came back down. "Have you seen my phone?"
"Sure have!" Her subtlety was that of a steel toed tip toer. "Can't wait to meet your little QT." The phone was tossed his direction and he scrambled to catch it.
"Wait, what?!"
"I invited her over for a meet and greet!"
"No, you didn't!"
"I literally just did!" Lori went passed the boy. "Hey girls, Lincoln has a girlfriend and she's coming over to play~!"
A cacophony of scandalous noises echoed from the second floor. The sound would have made the boy blush out embarrassment but his eyes were open wide in complete terror. He could hear his sisters rushing down but maybe there was enough time to tell her not to. He looked at the string of texts… she was so happy… he couldn't just tear it away. Two more equally happy texts hit his phone.
Lincoln knew trouble was coming but he had to let it happen.
Some time later...
"Ooo~ I bet she's a blonde!" Leni shouted out to her fellow sisters. All the Loud girls had gathered like a pack of lioness in the front room just waiting to pounce the innocent gazelle. "Lincy totes loved my golden locks when he was younger."
"No way," the mighty athlete of the family stood up. "It's got to be a brunette! He knows whose number one!"
"I always seen him going with pepper to match his salt! Hahaha! Get it?" Luan vote went to a girl with black hair, her family simply wished she'd done it normally. Lucy nodded in her dark corner.
"Nah, dudes, it's probably that red head from the arcades." Luna suggested. "He's got a taste for the fire woman now."
"Ronnie Anne's going to be so disappointed." Lori shook her head. A large clank could be heard as the white haired lover boy brought a chair from the attic. "Lincoln, what are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?" The sole son let out a heavy breath as he made it to the first floor.
"Bringing down another chair."
"Ding ding!" Lincoln whirled an exacerbated bell. "Lana wins!"
"Aw, yeah!"
"Don't be stupid, Lincoln!" The more bratty of the twins shouted. "We obviously mean, why are you bringing down another one?!" It was true, this was not the first chair the young lad had lugged down as they lazed around. To be exact, this was the second.
"For my girlfriend…" he looked away from them. His embarrassment over taking him.
"Aww, one chair wasn't up to snuff huh." Lori cooed. "Just had to make it literally perfect!"
"Or maybe it's because she's fat!" Lynn shouted out, not holding back.
"Lynn!" Leni covered her mouth in shock. "The term is thicc now!"
"Like Lincoln could land a thicc QT!" A large kerfuffle left the athlete. Lincoln ignored her, he knew she'd be eating her words. Depositing the second chair, he once again began his going up to the attic.
"Lincoln come sit with us while we wait for your girlfriend." Lori tried to wave him down.
"Can't, I need to get another chair." Lincoln was already far away upstairs to care. Leaving the grumpy whatzit alone, the girls continued their gossip.
A black 73' Impala rolled to a stop outside the Loud abode. As the driver engaged the parking brake, a girl jumped out of the backseat. A well manicured finger rapidly pressed the doorbell multiple times. Inside the home, the girls in the front room squealed with excitement.
"I got it!" Lori ran to the door, as the one who arranged everything, she would be the first the see the girl. Without even looking through the peephole, the teen opened the door. "Welcome, Linc-"
"Hey, Lori," A slender redhead about her height walked right passed her. A single chocolate candy bar was thrown into her hands. "Alright, what we doing?" The party teen rubbed her hands expectantly.
"Becky!" Leni Loud jumped to her feet to greet her classmate. Grabbing her friend's hands she jumped around happily. "Like what are you doing here?!"
"What are you talking about?" Becky rolled her eyes with a cheeky smile. "I was invited."
"Oh shoots," Lori walked up and joined her sister. "Did we forget a study group night?"
"Excuse me," another blonde teen with a purple headband peeked through the front door. Several eyes went to her. "May I enter?"
"Carol?" The oldest Loud daughter asked bewildered. Sure they were on better terms but had she invited her to study? "Uhh, sure come in."
"Great," the Pingrey came with a warm smile and a large box of chocolates. "It isn't much I hope your family enjoys."A passing of gourmet chocolates occurred.
"Way to show me up, Care." Leaving Leni's side she walked over to the purple cardiganed teen. Her arms were up and hands clamped behind her head in a chill fashion. A smug grin laughed at how serious Carol's glare back was.
"We are trying to make a good impression, Becky." The Pingrey girl sternly told her. "But if you're talking about showing up..."
A pleather boot suddenly kicked the front door open. The Loud girls all jumped from the impact. In from the porch was an enormous, gaudy arrangement of chocolate hearts and deadly, sugary sweets. All their mouths watered at the sight of the delectables. It almost seemed to have walked in by itself but a pair of muscular thighs showed there was a very curvy girl just behind it. With confidence, the candy bouquet strode towards Lori and shoved the chocolate into her arms.
Free from the sugary burden everyone was treated to a brown eyed girls the likes they had never seen. Her brunette hair was curly and hung shoulder length. She wore a yellow tube dress that revealed her ample cleavage framed by a leather jacket. Whoever this person was, she was a ten out of ten babe.
"Uhh…" Lori's head poked through the arrangement. "Who are you?" Another large clang came from the second floor as Lincoln began dragging down a third chair. All three teens looked at the descending boy.
"Oh, hey girls." Lincoln greeted them as he got to first floor. "See you had no problem finding the house."
"Yup," While Lincoln knowing Carol was coming over confused Lori enough, her ex rival's next words worsened train of thought. "We're just excited to finally introduce ourselves to your parents."
"Carol, what do y-" Lori was cut off by her friend, Becky.
"I don't know," the redhead had a grin. "Having a secret relationship was kind of hot."
"Becky!" Carol scolded. "You'll give them the wrong idea."
"Nah, QT'll do that when she forces White Russian to motorboat her." The redhead countered.
"QT?!" Lori shouted out before turning to the hourglass brunette with more cleavage than a lingerie catalogue. "You're Lincoln's QT?!"
The bombshell nodded.
"Hey, hey," Becky looped around and gave the sole son a hug. "I'm Linc's cutie."
The busty brunette apparently found issue with this and took the white haired lad from the redhead's grip. She immediately shoved his face into her ample bosom and pulled his body into a protective hug. The QT held a stern glare on the chuckling girl.
"Told you she'd motorboat."
"Quinlan!" Carol tried to pull Lincoln out of QT's hands. "I expected better of you!" The newly named girl did not give so easily. A tug of war battle for the middle Loud began.
Lori watches in shock at her two friends and the thicc newcomer. She looked and saw how unamused her brother's face was, revealing how mundane this occurrence was to him. Her eyes darted to the mountain of chocolate that was in her hands. A thousand thoughts collated into a single one.
A sudden slip up caused Lincoln to launch from QT's grasp. He flew forward into Carol causing both of them to crash to the ground. When the dust settled, Lincoln happened to be crotch to crotch with the blonde teen whose heels were to the heavens.
"For not wanting to leave a bad impression..." Carol could see her two partners in crime hovering over her, Quinlan was not pleased while Becky was obviously about to make matters worse. "Reenacting our Valentine's day was not your best plan."
"Oh. My. God!" Lori shouted out.
Lincoln sighed, "here we go…"
