The Really Loud House vs. Gremlins

Chapter 1: A Curious Critter

After looking over the mysterious rules imprinted on the box, the family talked amongst themselves over how they were going to care for Gizmo. The little creature himself was currently resting in a spare pet basket.

"Right then, just so we're clear." Lynn Sr began. "Whatever kind of animal Gizmo is we only know three important things about how to care for him. Number one; bright lights terrify him but he needs to be kept out of the sun or else it'll kill him." the others shivered at the thought of such an adorable creature meeting its end at the rays of the sun. "Number two; keep him away from water. That means he doesn't drink any and we can't bathe him either."

"Then how are we supposed to keep him clean? What if Lana gets him all muddy?" Lola asked.

"What's wrong with being muddy?!"

"Everything!"

"Stoppit both of you!" Lori snapped. "We'll figure something out on keeping him clean. Feeding him after midnight should be the easiest to avoid as long as he eats the same time as the rest of our pets do."

"Well said, Lori." Rita smiled at her daughter. "It remains to be seen how detailed the rules are but for now it's best we follow them and keep Gizmo out of danger. That means no putting him outside, don't take him for walks and no late night snacks for him beyond ten pm."

"Good schedule, honey." Lynn Sr agreed. "Well with all that said, we should all head up for the night."

"Um...where's Giz gonna sleep?" Lincoln asked eyeing the furball. "He can't stay in the living room, the sun'll fry him."

"Well I found him and I'm the animal expert so he should sleep with me and Lola." Lana nominated herself as she picked him up which stirred him awake.

"And let El Diablo devour him? Dream on." Luna countered taking Gizmo off Lana's hands. "The little dude should stay with me and Luan."

"So you can deafen him with your music?" Lucy asked startling Luna as she apparated behind her and swiped Gizmo. "With ears that big they're sure to be sensitive. Besides he's a creature of the night like me. He'd clearly be more at home in the dark with me and Lynn."

"If by at home you mean getting a concussion from one of Lynn's stray balls I agree." Lori argued.

"Hey!"

"I'm prefectly capable of taking care of him. It's be no different than babysitting Lily, if she were hairy."

"Normally, I would agree with you, eldest sibling." Lisa shifted her glasses. "But unfortuantely your abode is off limits due to the presence of our less intelligent sister." Leni blinked innocently. "The chances of her forgetting about your furry room mate and naturally opening the curtains in the morning resulting in his untimely demise is too great a risk."

"Who is she talking about?"

"I rest my case." Lisa concluded. "I believe I should offer Gizmo santuary. I can provide him with a suitable enclosure which will keep out any source of light and water and will set a feeding curfew for added measure."

"Yeah." Lynn narrowed her eyes. "The perfect cover to set him up for a nice grizzly dissection." Lola gasped in horror and snatched Gizmo from Lisa's arms

"You are not chopping up Gizzy for your grody research! Over my dead body!"

"I would never experiment on him!" Lisa argued back. "I mean nothing beyond hair, blood and stool samples."

"AHA!" the sisters quickly spiraled into one of their many squabbles. Usually Lincoln woudl just walk away and read until it was over but seeing how Gizmo was literally caught in the middle of it he had to step in.
