Loud House: Humble Beginnings (Book 1)

The Loud House Antics

It was a rainy Friday afternoon in Royal Woods. School was done for the weekend, Lori was home for the weekend from college, and everybody was happy. Rita and Lynn Sr. were not home, as they were grocery shopping.

The twins were watching cartoons in the living room, Lincoln was reading comics in his underwear in his room, Luan was baking pies in the kitchen, Luna was jamming on her guitar axe in her room, Lisa was doing experiments in her room, Lily was repeatedly saying "poo-poo", Lori was chatting with Bobby on the phone in her room, Leni was looking for the sun, not knowing it was hidden behind clouds. Lynn was playing with a mini basketball hoop in her room, and Lucy was reading a book in her room, as well.

"You guys?! The sun disappeared!" Leni cried out as she ran downstairs.

"Have you ever heard of a cloud, Leni?" Lola asked.

"The digital one?" Leni replied.

Lola face palmed and went back to watching Blarney the Dinosaur with Lana. Leni returned upstairs to her room, where she saw Lori glaring at her with an angry look.

"YOU. STRETCHED. MY FAVORITE SWEATER!!!" Lori yelled.

"Well, it's not that bad, it already looked terrible on you," Leni answered. Lori just stood there for a few seconds, mixed with mad and stunned faces.

"You'll pay for this!" Lori finished as she stormed out of the room.

"How much? I have $13," Leni replied.

Lori loudly moaned as she went downstairs. Lincoln's door opened around the same time, and he walked over to Leni.

"Hey, Leni, what's up?" Lincoln asked.

"Last I checked, it was the ceiling," Leni guessed as she looked up.

"I mean how are you doing?" Lincoln responded.

"Ohhh. I'm doing good, Linky, except Lori yelled at me because I accidentally stretched her favorite sweater," Leni updated.

"Doesn't that sweater look bad on her, anyway?" Lincoln asked Leni. They both laughed it off. Lincoln and Leni were always close siblings their whole lives. Lincoln was also really close with Lana, Luna, Lily, and Lucy, too.

They heard Lori coming down the hallway, and Lori would twist Lincoln into a human pretzel if she saw him, so he quickly hopped in the closet and Leni shut the doors.

Lori came in and gave Leni a dirty look and then she slapped her across the face.

"Ouch! What the heck, Lori?!" Leni angrily yelled. Lincoln came out of the closet and tried to break it up.

"Hey, hey, hey! Cut it out, Lori, it's not her fault that your favorite sweater looks terrible on you!" Lincoln blurted, but he immediately regretted it.

Lori twisted around and let go of Leni, and she yelled "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

Some of the other siblings overheard what was going on and dashed to the room.

"Oooh, a fight!" Lola excitedly said.

Lori hit Lincoln in the head with one of her shoes, sending Lincoln to the ground. A few sisters gasped but Lynn and Lola just laughed.

"Should we break this up, dudes?!" Luna eagerly asked hoping for a "yes" answer.

"Hold on, I wanna see what Lincoln will do!" Lisa replied.

"Me too!" Lola agreed.

Lori grabbed Lincoln and she tried to push him, but Lincoln overpowered her and tried to leave, but Lori tripped him. She grabbed him by the front of the shirt and pushed him, slamming his back into the window.
