A/N: It seems the sisters are gearing up for plans to help their brother and fix their situation. Remember, they only have today to do this, unless they want to test Lisa's new concoction for curing the hiccups. While getting their friends to understand may be easy, Ronalda will be a challenge, along with bringing Lincoln's social status back on track. Should be pretty humorous.

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING from the Loud House.

Saturdays are usually the day people would spend it relaxing, staying at home, doing some home improvement stuff they didn't have the time to do during the week, and more importantly, forgetting about your troubles for the next day and a half (unless you work weekends). On these days, Tabby would usually spend them at home either jamming out on her guitar or sunbathe on the lawn, taking in the warm, spring sun. Today though, she was full of anticipation and irritation. Sitting in front of a large fountain at the front of Royal Woods Mall, she tapped her foot impatiently as if she was waiting for something, or someone to be specific. Luna called her this morning and told her to meet her at the mall around 11. The little rocker got there just minutes before, and now it was almost 11:30.

"Sure know how to keep a shelia waitin' Luna..." Tabby muttered, glancing around for the 15 year old for the umpteenth time.

"I would've been here sooner, but things got a little...complicated..." A voice spoke out to her right.

Tabby turned her head and gave a small glare. " 'Bout time you showed up mate..."

"I know I know I'm late. Come on, let's go to the food court." Luna suggested.

"Not 'til you tell me why you asked me to come all the way out here. I doubt it was just to have lunch..." The child huffed.

"I'll tell you when we get there-" The older musician started.

"Luna, I'm still rightly mad at you for what you did last night. So you either fess up now, or I'm walkin' towards that door..." Tabby threatened.

"Ok ok, you got me dude. Myself and my sisters came up with an idea to set the record straight, but we needed everyone to be here together since it's better to do it face to face. You already know the score, but not the others."

"And are you certain this idea of yours will work? Not that I don't hate those other shelias but they sure got bigger temps than I do, especially that one with the skates."

"It's the best one we could come up with. If it doesn't play right, then nothing short of humiliating ourselves would get Lincoln to forgive us." Luna told her. The 15 year old felt her phone vibrate as a few texts came rolling in. Taking her phone out, the musician took a moment to skim them. "Great, the others are making their way to the food court now. So you comin' or you just gonna sit here?"

Tabby sighed inwardly before getting up. "Not like I have anything else to do."

With the other sisters, it wasn't too difficult to find their friends. Each girl knew their pals well enough to know where they were likely to be in the event they were either upset or angry. However, getting them to join them at the mall wasn't as simple as Luna's and Tabby's exchange.

30 Minutes Earlier

Lynn knew that whenever Polly was upset or pissed at something, she'd work off the stress at the local gym.

The athlete walked into the establishment where she was greeted by a man at the desk. "Welcome to Planet Fitness ma'am. Are you on membership or is this your first time here?"

"Actually I'm looking for someone. She's a girl, 'bout my age, kinda tall with brown hair in pigtails...has a large chin-" Lynn stopped when she heard what sounded like a gun being fired close to the back of the gym. "Nevermind." She stated before making her way towards the source of the sound.

Lynn found her derby partner dressed in a white T-shirt and black shorts, white bandages covering her palms. She was knocking a chained sand bag senseless, each blow making a deafening sound that resembled a shotgun being discharged. It was very clear why everyone referred to her by nickname and respected it with the upmost caution. The jock winced as another bare first impacted the sand bag, the chain rattling as it struggled to keep the large weight suspended. Lynn had seen Polly knock around a sand bag without the use of boxing gloves before, but back then the hits sounded more like the typical act of flesh meeting leather. Clearly, the whole ordeal had upset Polly more than she let on.

"Hey Polly!" Lynn yelled over the noise.

The taller brunette stopped her assault, twisting her head in surprise. A glare formed on her face almost immediately. "What do you want?..."

"Just wanted to see how you were doing."

"How do you think I'm doing?" Polly said before turning and launching another fierce punch at the sand bag. It swung out 6 feet from the hit.

"Pissed off..." Lynn answered. "I know you're probably imagining that's my brother's face you're hitting right now, and I know you probably won't listen to a thing I say, but I want to try and make it up to you."

Polly put a hand up to stop the bag from swinging. "Let me ask you something Lynn: why should I trust you?"

"What?"

"Why should trust someone who set me up on a date with a cheater?" Polly hit the bag subconsciously on the last word.

Lynn held her hands up in defense. "Ok Polina. You're right. You don't have to trust me. But not counting yesterday, have I ever lied to you?"

Polly took a moment to think, trying to come up with some excuse as to why she shouldn't trust the smaller girl. While she was stuck in her train of thought, the bag rebounded and smacked her in the side, making her stumble.

Lynn smirked at this. "I'll take that as a 'no'. I know you pretty well Polly. We've been together since elementary school. Remember the time I stood up for you when those girls made fun of you because of your chin?"

Polly grumbled. "Yeah..." She folded her arms and looked at the floor. "I didn't need help though."

"Says the one who was close to crying."

Polina focused her glare at the jock. "Don't make me hurt you Lynn..."

"Oh please. I wouldn't dream of taking you on in the rink. I've seen what you do with those hands and butt."

The derby girl put her hands on her hips. "So? What's your point?"

"I know you're still hurting inside Polina. You thought Lincoln was a nice guy, it turned out wrong, or so you think. Like I said before, I've never lied to you, so let me make it up to you."

Polly shifted on the spot for a moment. "...Fine. What do you want?"

"Clean off your sweat, cause we're heading to the mall."

The pigtailed female looked inquisitively at Lynn. Normally, Polly wouldn't visit the mall unless she was looking to buy some gear, more or less a new set of blades since she has an odd habit of being too rough with them. However, given what was said, she wouldn't turn down her friend's opportunity to make nice.

21 Minutes Earlier

Lucy tried for Haiku on her phone before she left the house. Given how similar the two friends are, she figured Haiku would be sitting in the darkest and creepiest corner she could find: her room in her house. The 8 year old emo knocked on the door, being greeted by a 13 year old who also had a personality similar to hers.

"Oh, it's you..." The teen said in a churlish tone.

"Hi...it's Haiku home?"

"She is, but I doubt she wants to see anyone right now. Even I can't get her to come out of her sanctuary..."

Lucy could understand that part. Whenever she was feeling moodier than normal, she'd usually disappear and no one would find her, but when they did, not even someone like Lincoln could pry her out of her hidey hole.

"I see...still, I need to speak with her on important business."

The teen leaned on the door siding. "Don't you think you've done enough lying to her about her so-called 'date'? If I remember correctly, it was with that same boy who almost ruined my birthday party..." The girl stated, acid dripping in her tone.

"That's what I'm here to speak with her about. I know she's in the pit of despair that I accidentally put her in, and while I'm all for being dark and depressing, it pains me knowing I'm the one responsible for causing her suffering. The burden she carries is no greater than the one I'm shouldering right now, so Magdalene, can you please give the chance to pull her out of the eternal blackness?"

Maggie gave a sigh. "Fine. You have 5 minutes..." She walked away from the door.

Lucy let herself in and immediately sought out her distressed friend. Being that she's been over to her house numerous times, she knew exactly where the emo's room was located.

The dark haired girl knocked on Haiku's door. "Haiku? Are you there?" Not getting a response, Lucy put an ear to the door. She could faint sounds of breathing on the opposite side. The vampire lover opened the door and stepped in. Haiku's room was about as much as you'd expect it to be: dark, curtains and blinds closed, dark purple colored walls, a canopy bed covered with black sheets, memorabilia of mystical creatures, and of course, a small shrine dedicated to a vampire boy (who just turned 200). Lucy felt a little envious, especially since she shared her room with the second loudest sibling in the house.

Lucy looked around the dark room, not seeing her friend anywhere. She looked up at the vent grate in the ceiling, thinking she might be up there. However, Haiku's house was no where near as loud as the Loud house.

"If you think I'm in the vents, you aren't even close." A voice spoke, making Lucy jump.

Turning, the 8 year old found Haiku standing by the door. "Guess I somewhat know what my siblings feel like when I do that."

"If you've come to make peace, don't bother. I know you probably came here to prove me wrong, but I doubt anything you say will change the fact."

"Actually, that's where you're wrong Haiku. You may think my brother is the most untrustworthy and unfaithful scum to walk in this plain of existence, but your ire shouldn't be with him...it should be directed at me..."

"It already is since you lied about his qualities..." The 11 year old stated.

"I didn't lie...what happened last night was due to myself and my sisters..."

Haiku gave a questioning glare at the 8 year old. "How do I know this isn't a trick?..."

Lucy sighed, knowing she'd ask of this. The girl brought out a black hairband before pulling it on. The band took several locks of the emo's hair and held them in place above her forehead, making her eyes completely visible. "Remember when I told you if I needed to tell you something serious, I would do something I would never do before?"

"Yes...I do..."

"And this is a serious gesture...it wasn't Lincoln's fault. If anything, he tried to make sure you and his other dates were happy, but it shouldn't have come to that because myself and 3 of my sisters had put him up to it..."

Haiku's face went from an emotionless state, to that of shock. "Wait...so you're saying..."

Lucy looked to the floor in guilt. "Yes...we caused our brother to fall into a state of despair due to our actions..."

"How?...How could you do something like that to him?" The 11 year old asked, her voice carrying emotion unintentionally.

"...We were angry at him for lying to us about not seeing Ronnie Anne all day, and he seemed so upset that I wanted to help him out...it was the least I could do after he saved me from total embarrassment at one point...however, after finding out that he lied, we set him on a fate with soul-crushing heartbreak...and we didn't do anything to help..." The 8 year old didn't want to look at her friend, already feeling the critical look she was being given.

Haiku was shocked at the fact someone like Lucy was even capable of doing such an act. The girl clenched her hands into fists, not out of spite, but out of self-hate. If what Lucy said was true, the older emo effectively added on to the suffering by beating on Lincoln when the whole ordeal wasn't his fault. Like Lucy, Haiku does like witnessing the pain of others, as it makes good writing material, but she wouldn't want to be the one to cause it.

"Is he alright?..." The 11 year old's voice was a whisper.

Lucy shook her head. "No...he harbors an intense hatred towards me and my sisters responsible for it. He effectively acted as if we...were dead to him...but we have an idea on how to make this right. In order for it to work, the two of us need to head out to the mall."

"The mall?...Lucy, you know I hate crowded places like the mall, especially those that don't ever seem to frown..."

"I know Haiku...but I really want to make things right with my brother...and I'm sure you want to apologize for the way you acted."

The older emo nodded. "I do..." Haiku looked towards her desk where a book of poems she'd written sat. Last night, she made some rather...unsavory work revolving around Lincoln. She thought about telling Lucy this, but she felt she didn't need to add onto her already high stack of guilt.

Lucy took the hairband off, letting her hair cover her eyes again. "Please don't speak word that I showed emotion..."

"Only if this plan you girls have works..."

15 Minutes Earlier

With Luan, her situation was similar to Lucy's, albeit more lighthearted. The aspiring comedian figured Giggles would still be at home today since she wasn't scheduled to perform for any birthday parties. While the clown girl always showed her more humorous side, like Luan, she also had a dark spot when it came to her pranks. After being let into the house by the girl's mother, Luan walked up to her room.

"Hey Giggles, you in here?" Luan asked, poking her head in. A split second later, a cream pie nailed her right in the face, having been thrown hard enough that Luan's face made an imprint on the tin. "Ow..." She muffled.

"There's more where that came from." The 11 year old huffed. Not dressed in her clown attire, the chubby child was wearing a pink shirt with khaki jeans. Since her hair wasn't tied up with scruchies, it frazzled down to her mid-back.

Luan pulled the pie pan off her face and wiped her eyes clean. "Ok, I deserved that." She saw Giggles ready to launch another pie at her. "Wait, I can explain-" The pie nailed her in the forehead.

"Explain the fact that you lied about my date? Yeah, that'll really help break the ice." The child's sarcasm spoke volumes.

Wiping her face clean again, "Ok, let's just forget about Lincoln for a sec. I'm sorry your date didn't turn out like you hoped..."

"No thanks to your loser of a brother..." Giggles muttered.

Luan felt a bit irritated about her friend using her brother's name in vain. But Giggles didn't know the full story, so the comedian really had no one to blame but herself. She didn't want to give her the full details just yet, and more importantly, Luan was on a strict schedule. "Look, Giggles, just forget about last night ok? I know you're still upset about it, so how about I take you out for some relaxation? I heard that there's a new Prank Emporium opening up at the mall today~."

Giggles didn't look too satisfied. "Aw come on. Where's your cheerful spirit? Don't make me have to turn that frown upside down." Luan stated.

The 11 year old still refused, but Luan could see she was beginning to crack. All she needed to do was tip her over the edge.

"Alright, you asked for it. What do you call sleeping bull?"

"...What?"

"A BULLDOZER." Luan chuckled. Giggles twisted in her seat a little. She no longer had a frown, but she held a blank stare.

"What does a nosy pepper do? Get Jalapeno business!" Luan laughed again. Giggles started to crack a smile, even making a small noise that sounded like a laugh.

Luan spotted another cream pie sitting by the window. Getting an idea, she grabbed it. "You know why us clowns are never bored? Cause we're good at being occupied!" She slammed the pie into her face.

Giggles had to stifle her laughs at this point. "Need some water to wash that off?"

"No thanks, I already ate!"

"Oh, but I insist!" Giggles brought out a plastic container of spring water and blasted the nozzle at Luan, washing her face clean.

"Now that's what I call some real water works!"

By now, both girls were laughing hard. "Ah, I haven't laughed like that in a while. Guess I really let myself go." Giggles spoke out.

"Ah, I don't think so. You're still holding your size." Luan laughed, causing another chuckle fit. After a minute to catch their breaths, the comedian spoke again. "So, still up for that trip to the mall?"

"Why not. Your a bigger clown than I am."

Present

Luna and Tabby took 5 minutes to reach the food court. They got distracted at the music store to check out some sick axes. Luna spotted her sisters with their respective friends approaching in various directions, a knot forming in the 15 year old's stomach. This was it...there was no doubt in her mind that there would be some swift confrontation between all four of the girls. As such, they'd have to shut them down fast so they'd have time to explain. Not only that, there was a fifth party that was to join them very soon, and she would be the hardest to deal with. Taking her phone out again, Luna texted her sisters.

"Here goes nothing..." Luna thought nervously.

The 15 year old led her friend to a series of tables in the middle of the food court, away from other people. Tabby was aware of what was to come next, and rightly prepped herself to respond in kind if any of the girls tried to insult her. Tense seconds passed as each group came within view of each other, and once they maintained facial recognition, the air grew thick with conflict.

"What are they doing here?!" Polly asked.

"Didn't expect to see your face here either mate..." Tabby lied.

"Luan, this better be a bad joke..." Giggles started.

Lucy and Haiku just looked at each other for a moment before turning to the growing fight between the 3 girls.

"Very funny. The only joke I see here would be you 3." Polly countered.

"Says the one with the shovel chin!" Giggles retorted.

"Why you little sad clown..." The derby girl started cracking her knuckles.

Lynn put a hand on her shoulder. "Polly, stop. Just sit down."

"What for?" The taller girl glared.

"Just SIT. DOWN..." Lynn ordered, the glare she gave telling that she'd tie Polly to her seat if she didn't. Polina groaned before taking a seat, steam coming out of her nostrils like a mad bull. Everyone else either took a seat or continued standing.

Luna took a moment to collect herself before speaking. "Now, we all know you guys are upset, but there's a reason why we brought you here...we know you guys are still mad at Lincoln for what he did last night, but we can assure you that what happened was NOT his fault..."

"What do you mean 'it wasn't his fault'?" Giggles asked.

"Remember when we hooked you guys up with dates last night?..." Luan asked sheepishly. "We ended up doing it at the same time..."

"And we didn't know we hooked him up with four dates until we told him at the same time..." Lucy added.

"...So you're telling me that you guys hooked him up with all of us and you told him at the last minute?" Polly questioned.

"He was about to leave the house to go to the arcade with a friend of his, and that's when we told him..." Lynn clarified.

The derby girl was trying to process this information. It felt like something was missing. "Just...why?"

"He lied about not seeing Ronnie Anne all day so he wasn't asked to the dance. He seemed pretty bummed about it so we wanted to make his night special...turns out he lied about not seeing her and was ducking her all day since he didn't plan on going to the dance in the first place..." Luna explained.

"And then you all sent him on a fate with heartbreak because you were consumed by your anger." Haiku monotonously pointed out.

"Yeah..." Lynn stated, rubbing her arm.

"If he wasn't gonna go to the dance, why did he lie in the first place?" Tabby asked.

"Probably because we put him on the spot and he panicked." Lucy replied.

"So that's the scoop...like our older sister told us already, we were being real 'geniuses' for forcing our brother into a lose-lose situation...he already hates us for it, and if you guys do as well, we don't blame you. We made this train, and it's crashing into the station..." Luan explained, somehow still finding the courage to make a joke.

The group sat in silence for a few moments. Since Tabby and Haiku already knew what happened due to being notified long beforehand, it was mostly Giggles and Polly that needed to make their decision.

"Well, like I told Luna, I'm not too angry, just disappointed...I appreciate you girls lookin' out for your friends, but that doesn't excuse puttin' a bloke through the wringer like that. Even I wouldn't do that to someone who rubbed me the wrong way." Tabby stated.

"I'd just plan a harsh prank in return." Giggles voiced.

"Agreed. Fooling with the heart is one of the heinous forms of conflict. Much drama, and the outcome can be very...dark..." Haiku quipped

"I'll just say that I'm mad at you girls for doing that, but this also means we got 2 days worth of in-school detention for no reason..." Polly stated.

"Right...but we're just getting started, and you guys weren't the worst part." Lynn told them.

"Who else would you need to tell?" Tabby asked.

Luna simply pointed her thumb to the left. The girls looked/turned around and saw Bobby and Lori standing there with expectant looks. Next to them, was a rather annoyed Ronalda. The Hispanic girl gave a harsh glare at the four girls her age before turning her sights to the four sisters. Hands in her pockets, she walked up to the table.

"So...how long were you standing there?" Luan asked.

"Enough to hear most of it...is it true?" The tomboy asked.

"Yeah...all of it..." Luna replied.

"Then give me a good reason why I should believe what any of you just said...it still doesn't explain why Lincoln could've said no." Ronnie Anne folded her arms.

The Louds looked at each other, unsure of how to answer that question. They weren't sure what they were going to do to Lincoln if he refused, but it wouldn't have been pretty, especially when you consider how often the Louds get into their usual sibling fights. Just as Ronnie Anne's patience was about to wear out, someone finally spoke up.

"I think it's obvious...Ronnie Anne was it?" Polly started. "You have a sports jock whose got a lot of fight in her, a little girl who creeps everyone out, a comedian who might be kinda crazy, and a musician who probably breaks her guitar more times than she could count. Now, when I danced with Lincoln, he sure is tough, but even I wouldn't want to stack my odds against four people who could probably kick my butt. Not that they could, but I'm just saying."

"Lincoln is a soft spoken soul. He seemed more of a lover, not a fighter. Now that I think about it, it was rather impressive of him to try and keep all of us happy." Haiku stated.

"Normally, I think any other guy would've backed out the second he had the chance. Not that Lincoln had a choice, but he was committed to try and keep our nights lively. Even though it blew up in his face...still feel bad about tryin' to beat his head in like a drum." Tabby added.

Ronalda studied their faces carefully, looking for any sign that would hold false intent. However, their eyes told her they were being sincere to their heart. Ronnie Anne knew Lincoln wasn't a fighter. He was a nerd and a geek who put up with everything that was thrown at him and took it in stride. When she bullied him, he was just flat out annoyed until he finally decided to call her over to his house to settle it. Granted, it was just a plot to get him to notice her (still didn't expect to be kissed which was why she panicked and struck him), but he seemed to have some sort of backbone. As such, she assumed he could've just said no. It wasn't like there was anything his sisters could've did to him that would be that bad. However, since it's clear now that said sisters strong-armed him into walking into a pit of fire, she started to wonder who the real bully is in this case.

Ronalda stared at the floor as she reflected on what she told Lincoln last night. No doubt he was afraid of her as her threats were vividly clear. "I should've given Lame-O more credit than I thought..." She looked at the four sisters. "I don't know what got into your heads to think it was a good idea to put him through that, but all I see right now is a group more stupid than the Three Stooges...I told Lincoln I was going to make his life a nightmare, how am I supposed to take that back?..."

"Ronnie Anne, you could just apologize to him." Bobby suggested.

"Roberto, you know I'm not good with expressing myself. I'll probably wind up saying the wrong thing or doing something stupid in front of him..."

"Love makes you do that." Lori muttered.

Lucy gazed at everyone silently. While she often reveled in hearing about nightmares, she came to see that there was a major difference between having a nightmare and actually living in one. But, nightmares were only fiction, just a bad dream. With Lincoln's life still in the nightmarish aspect, there had to be a way to turn things around. Lucy's eyes widened behind her hair, a thought coming to her. While she was disgusted at sappy stuff, it was probably just the thing that was needed.

"I have an idea. Is Lincoln still at home?" The young emo asked.

Lori shook her head. "No. He's in the arcade. I brought him over so he could try to forget about the fact he's the school's laughing stock." The eldest Loud glared at her sisters.

"You don't have to remind us repeatedly Lori..." Luna retorted.

"Kinda do since you messed up big time." Lori countered.

"So what's the idea Queen of Darkness?" Lynn asked.

Inside the mall's arcade, Lincoln was occupied with playing a shooter-based game. Aptly named 'Hero's Duty', it involved racing through a ravaged landscape shooting your way through a gauntlet of cybernetic bugs that were about the size of a bus. Worst thing? The bugs adapt to whatever they eat. So far, it was touch and go, but he was approaching the hardest part of the level: the hive of those deranged insects.

"Almost there...almost there!" Lincoln said in anticipation. The second the door opened on screen, hundreds of enemies started pouring out, which the boy responded by lighting them up with his plasma rifle. "Eat this you freaks!"

Not too far from him, Ronalda, Tabby, Polly, Giggles, and Haiku eyed him from a few game consoles. "So...whose gonna go first?" Tabby asked.

"I think it should be me. I did run over his face with my skates." Polly replied.

"No, I'm going first." Ronalda ordered.

"For what reason? I don't think it matters who apologizes first." Haiku added.

"Because he's..." The Hispanic girl started to blush. "He's my...he's my best friend ok?!"

"Seems more than that if you're redder than a tomato, hint hint?" Giggles smirked.

"Oh, whatever!..." Ronalda huffed before making her way over to him. Since Lincoln was so enthralled in the game, he wasn't aware of his immediate surroundings. "Lincoln?" The tomboy spoke. He didn't notice her. "Lincoln!..." Getting irritated, she grabbed a small megaphone from another boy and put it to his ear. "LAME-O!"

Startled, Lincoln rubbed his sore ear and turned to the person who shouted at him in irritation. His face went pale and whatever anger he had was replaced with fear upon recognizing the person before him. "R-Ronnie A-Anne?!" Lincoln squeaked out, holding his hands close to his face in a defensive position. While he was distracted, Lincoln's character had its face eaten by a large insect, flashing 'GAME OVER' on the screen.

"Lame-I mean Lincoln, I know you're scared right now, but I'm not going to hurt you..."

"Y-You're not?..." He asked. For all he knew, it could've been a ploy to lower his guard so she'd be able to strike.

"No...I had some time to think, and-"

"Oh come on! You're moving too slow." Polly said, walking up to them.

"Polly?! What are you doing here?!" Lincoln asked, even more fear creeping into his frame. He felt even worse when he saw his other 3 'dates' come up behind her.

"What Ms. Shy here was going to say is, your sisters told us everything. We know it wasn't your fault Lincoln...and I'm sorry for scratching up your face..." The derby girl replied, rubbing her arm.

"Sorry for thinking you were cheatin' on us love..." Tabby added.

"And for not giving you a chance to explain yourself..." Giggles remarked.

"And for embarrassing you in front of everyone. It was a misunderstanding that we took out of control." Haiku stated.

"T-To be honest, I could see why...it's my fault for thinking I could try to juggle four dates at once..." The white-haired boy replied in guilt.

"Don't sell yourself short mate. You managed to do it well until it started to unravel. I had a decent time last night. Even so, you knew what could've happened, but you didn't have a say in the matter."

"Agreed. You didn't even hurl at all no matter how many times I tossed you around." The tall girl added.

"I still think you would do well in clown school, if you decide to go into it." Giggles replied.

"You would make a great poet someday." The emo stated.

"T-Thanks, I guess." Lincoln started to blush a little from receiving all the compliments. He noticed Ronnie Anne looked a little miffed at this, her gaze focused elsewhere. Another stroke of guilt flooded him. While the events of the dance weren't entirely his fault, he felt he should've came clean when asked about Ronnie Anne the first time. "Ronnie Anne, I'm sorry I had been avoiding you on the days leading up to the dance. I was just too nervous about being asked to the dance that I had been ducking you to avoid it. Though, in hindsight, it would've been better if I just let you find me since we both had the same idea in mind, especially since what happened was a much worse outcome...I know I hurt your feelings pretty bad, and I'm really sorry for that too..."

Ronalda looked at Lincoln with a soft glare, before punching him in the arm.

"Ow!..." The boy rubbed his sore limb.

"That was for ducking me, but to be honest...if I thought you were gonna ask me to the dance, I would've avoided you too."

"Really?"

"Yeah...I'm not one for dances like that." Ronalda looked at the floor, a small blush forming on her face once again. Lincoln started to wonder what was she thinking about, before the tomboy quickly brought him close and pecked him on the lips. It only lasted a few seconds and felt a little forced, but it was enough to leave Lincoln in a daze.

"W-What was that f-for?"

"That, was my apology for threatening to pulverize you...a-and I still l-like you..." Ronalda replied, her cheeks even redder than before as she glared at the floor.

"Hmm..." Polly tapped her chin. "Mind if we get in on that action?" She smirked.

"Just not on the mouth..." Ronalda grumbled.

Lincoln went wide-eyed and was about to question what else the girls had planned, before he was quickly bombarded with kisses to his cheeks by his 'dates'. It lasted for 10 seconds before Ronalda decided to break it up as she got uncomfortable watching it. The Hispanic girl made a mental remark to give Lucy another shiner for the embarrassing idea. By the end of it, Lincoln was in a daze on the floor with stars in his eyes, trying to process the fact he had been smothered by four girls. Polly, Tabby, and Giggles laughed a little at this while Haiku gave a small smile.

Outside the arcade, the teens watched with grins on their faces. For four of the sisters, they smiled at the fact their plan worked without any issues, and it was very cute to see Lincoln getting kissed repeatedly.

"Gotta admit Luce. I didn't think you could come up with an idea like that." Lynn complimented her.

"Thanks. I don't want to do it again..." The emo stated.

"Well, I hope Lincoln forgives us after all of this." Luna added.

"After seeing him fall like that, and that face, I'm pretty sure he'll be thanking you real soon." Lori replied. "And congrats, you managed to fix your mess. But seriously, don't do it again..."

"I think this shiner on my face will remind me of that." The musician replied, rubbing her sore left eye. Herself, Luan, Lynn, and Lucy all sported a black eye, courtesy of Ronalda and Polly.

"I was hoping to avoid getting nailed by Polly today. I think she hit my good eye on purpose." Lynn groaned. "And do we have to wear these shirts?"

In addition to the black eyes, the four girls also wore black colored shirts that said 'Guess I'm Stupid' on the front. So far, several people in the mall already laughed at them, though some thought they were doing a meme.

"You can take the shirts back AFTER you wear them all day out in public." Lori smirked.

"Awesome." Came Lynn's sarcastic remark.

"If public embarrassment will help everyone else forget about the dance, I'm down with it." Luna smiled. "Especially if it means avoiding being Lisa's guinea pig..."

"Ditto..." Lucy added.

"We sure are good grave diggers aren't we?" Luan laughed.

A/N: That about wraps that up. I could do a little epilogue showing how much the 5 girls became friends after this whole ordeal, but I doubt I will since it could be a bit obvious they all made up wonderfully. With this done, I don't have to worry about this story anymore, but it will be marked as the first Loud House story I've completed. Told you guys I could write something lighthearted.
