Flashback: Loud House, January 26th, 2020:

Lori Loud (The Original Lori, not a clone) was carrying a blood containment bag in her hand as she headed out of the Loud House, only to see a mid-60s man with light greyish blue hair and a unibrow, a turquoise turtleneck, brown pants, and black shoes. He was Rick.

"Alright, here's my blood sample." Lori said. "This better be important, Rick."

"Normally, in these cases, it isn't, but I wanted to see if anyone could create a citadel with their bare hands, then so be it." Rick said, condescendingly.

"Why do this with someone like Mom, or Dad?" Lori asks.

"Someone who's as pathetic as Jerry? Ha!" Rick said, skeptical. "Your parents couldn't be even better than Jerry, letting fights go on all the time without intervening? Even Jerry has a point where he has to step up as a parent."

"What about Summer? Morty? Or...Beth?"

"Morty? Ah, I hate to admit it, but he has his father's idiot DNA. Summer, I could, but why would I? One of her is enough! Beth? I've got 2 of her on my plate right now, that seems enough Beth for th-th-th-this scientist."

"But how many of..."Me"...is there going to be?" Lori asks, concerned. "Will they even remember what my life is?"

"No, most of them will not remember jack shit about Lori Loud, some of them will, but why would that be an issue?" Rick said, taking the blood away from Lori.

"I dunno, I just don't want them to go into a state of panic where I have to keep things from going too far."

"If that has to be the *burp* case, then just call me and I'll come running with a portal that will take you to the Citadel Of Loris."

Lori seemed unsure at the moment, and maybe it was for the right reasons...

End of Flashback

At one of the Domed District Lori bedrooms, Domed District Lori #36 just finished remembering something, something that the Real Lori remembered as the Citadel was getting set for Takeoff. How was that even possible?

"Lori?" Two Child Loris were heard getting her attention. The clone turned around as she asks, "What is it?"

"We can't find the shirts with the Banana or the Kitten." The two Domed District Child Loris said, sadly. "All we found was the stuff you're wearing, but smaller."

"Well, I can see what the Citadel will do about that." Domed District Lori #36 said, unsure what to do.

"Can we go see if there are more Child Loris in the Citadel?" One of the Child Loris said, curious.

"I don't see why not." Domed District Lori #36 replied. "Do you have Lori's memories, too?"

"Yes," The 2 Child Loris said, nodding. "Why?"

"I just remembered something that happened 2 months ago..." Domed District District Lori #36 said. "Do you know what happened months ago?"

"Not really..." One of the Child Loris said. "All we remember is Mrs. Johnson handing us an assignment before all this. What was the last thing YOU remember?"

"I remember texting Bobby and going to bed afterwards after having to deal with Online classes, thought I'd go insane!" Domed District Lori #36 said.

"I thought Online Classes could be cool in the future." Domed District Child Lori #9 said, walking by.

"At first, it is, but it's boring after a while." Domed District Lori #36 said, picking her up as she goes into her room. "So this is where we sleep?"
