Lana Loves Melanie

Lana's Nightmare!

 A few hours later, the twins and Melanie head to the cafeteria, with Lola carrying a pink lunchbox.

"Don't forget about your meeting," Lana reminds her.

"I know that," Lola scoffs as she cautiously enters Principal Huggins' office.

"See you after lunch," Melanie says as the door closes in her face.

"Come with me," Lana instructed.

She grabs Melanie by the wrist and leads her into the cafeteria towards towards a table that's the farthest away from everybody else as possible. According to Kristen, this was the most isolated table in the whole school and is only beaten out by the sticky table in terms of places that nobody would want to sit.

Speaking of Kristen, she's sitting at the isolated table right now. Lana had asked her to meet her and Melanie there so that Kristen could also hear Lana's dream.

After Lana and Melanie reach the isolated table, Kris smiles and greets them, "Hi you must be Melanie. Pleased to meet ya. I'm Kristen, but you can call me Kris," Kris greets in a friendly tone.

"I've seen you in class, it's nice to meet you," Melanie greets.

"You're right Lans, she's just as cute as you said she is," Kris comments.

"Uh Kris, this is no time for friendly little chit-chat.My nightmare was very serious and I need your guys' help," Lana says sternly.

She then turns to Melanie, "Why don't you sit next to Kris," Lana whispers.

Melanie does what she's told and sits right next to Kris. Lana sits across from her two friends.

"Ok, so this is what happened in my dream..." Lana began.

Lana's nightmare began with her standing in front of the door to her house. The sky is unusually cloudy, which really only happened during thunderstorms. The little six year old took a few deep breaths before she finally pushes the door open.

All her siblings are sitting on the couch, all squeezed tightly together. Her mom and dad stood behind the couch. Much to Lana's surprise, they weren't watching TV, instead they were just kinda sitting there.

Gathering her courage, Lana stood in front of everybody, "Ahem, um guys, there's something I have to tell you."

Everybody looks at each other and then back at Lana.

"Tell us what, sweetie?" Rita questions.

Here it is, the moment of truth. Lana nervously rubbed her left hand on top of her right hand.

"I...I...(deep breath) I like girls. I'm...attracted to girls," Lana tells her family.

Suddenly, as if eerily on cue, a flash of lightning and a monsterous thunder crash echoed outside. 12 pairs of eyes widen in shock as they stare back at Lana. There's a deafening silence in the room for about 5 seconds until...

"You WHAT?!" Rita gasps as she throws herself in Lynn Sr's arms and bursts into tears.

While holding his crying wife in his arms, Lynn Sr. shakes his right fist in the air and with an angry expression, hollers, "LANA LOUD!"

Even though Lana is pretty shaken up by her parents' reaction, nothing could have prepared her for how her siblings would react.

First, Lori grabbed the TV remote from Lynn's hand and aimed it at Lana, "You unholy CREATURE!" Lori hollered as she hurled the remote right at Lana's head. Bam!
