Here's the next chapter, enjoy.

Lincoln was walking out to take the trash out, meanwhile, Luan and Lucy snuck past their brother with butterfly nets. "Okay, Operation; Catch Sparx is on!" Luan whispered.

"At least that wasn't as long as Lincoln's normal plan names," Lucy muttered.

Only to be hit with a thousand volts of electricity upon touching the doorknob. On the inside of the room, Sparx was sitting on the doorknob. "That was pretty shocking, wasn't it?" Sparx joked to no one.

Later Luan and Lucy were crawling through the vents while Lincoln was helping Lynn Sr. and Lana clean the new van. Sparx heard the two thumping in the vents and then phased through the walls. The lightning then floated up to the thermostat and proceeded to supercharge the AC.

Luan then asked, "So we turn left at that rotting turtle shell, and we'll be in Lincoln's room?"

"No, we go past that and turn right at a pile of Reptile skin sheddings," Lucy replied, then the two felt a cool breeze which quickly turned into a cold breeze than into a freezing breeze.

Then the two were consumed by a cloud of literal snow and ice. The two were then frozen in a solid block of ice and spat out of the vents in Luna's and Luan's room. "I have to say, that was pretty COLD of me to do!" Sparx joked before heading back to Lincoln's room.

An hour or two later, Luan and Lucy were now in the basement, waiting behind a turned-over folding table. Watching a can of soda around an elaborate trap, but the moment the two blinked, the soda can had been snatched away. Luan looked around for the Kwami, but only to get a can thrown into her face.

The next time, Luan was watching the soda can while Lucy would drop eyedrops into her sister's eyes so she didn't need to blink. Suddenly, Luan's phone got a text and it went into a Text-To-Speech mode.

"{Imagine if you walked into a bar and there was a long line of people waiting to take a swing at you. That's the punch line.}" Luan immediately let out a light snort from the obvious Dad joke. "{Why is it a bad idea to iron your four-leaf clover? Cause you shouldn't press your luck.}" Luan let out a few more snorts and Lucy scrambled to turn the phone off, but the power seemed to stay on no matter what.

"{I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.}" Luan was struggling to contain herself now, Lucy took the battery out but the phone continued to work. "{I can't take my dog to the pond anymore because the ducks keep attacking him. That's what I get for buying a pure bread dog.}"

Luan began to giggle but was just barely able to choke it down and Lucy noticed that the messages were coming from her phone, but she didn't have her phone on her. "{My wife said I was immature. So I told her to get out of my fort.}" Luan's giggles squeaked out one at a time while Lucy looked for her phone. "{I spent a lot of time, money, and effort childproofing my house... but the kids still get in.}"

Luan finally broke into a laughing fit and when Lucy tried to keep the soda can in view, the can was gone. Lucy was then hit by a now empty can of soda and her phone.

After another few hours, Luan and Lucy were giving the trap one last go, third times the charm. This time taking turns to blink. But this didn't last long as when the two had both their eyes closed for a Picosecond (One trillionth of a second), Sparx had taken the can. What followed was the two getting hit with a series of cans to the rhythm of the "Shave And A Haircut, Two Bits" knock. And the two gave up on the idea.

Luan and Lucy were now trying to chase Sparx, who was slipping just out of their view every time they turned a corner. Sparx lead them outside and flew into the treehouse, but when Luan and Lucy climbed up after him. They did not see Sparx but rather a figurative town's worth of Squirrels, all of which were sleeping.
