You & I

PART 8: "Operation: L.O.U.D."

Hey everyone, I think you will all like this part. It's touching in more than one way. Sorry for the big gaps between parts. I feel like spacing them out since this is a relatively short fanfiction is a better way of releasing parts. I haven't really got much else to say other than enjoy!

I would like to quickly recommend an original story I'm writing which is LGBTQ related as well. It's called 'Echoes'. Link to it will be in the comments. It would mean a lot if you check it out as it's a fully original story which I haven't done in a long time. 

--------------------

The siblings looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Luna had never walked out before. "I didn't expect her to run out" Lana pointed out. "That's because she's upset" Lincoln stated. "What do we do now?" Leni asked. Lori thought for a few moments as the siblings stared at Lori for an answer. "We help fix this, and I have a plan" Lori replied, looking at her siblings.After explaining to the siblings her plan of action, she got the siblings to work while she went to look for Luna. It took a good fifteen minutes but Lori managed to find Luna in the park, sitting on a bench by herself. Lori thought for a few moments before going over and sitting down beside her. "Hey Luna" Lori said softly. She didn't reply. "Do you wanna talk about it?" Lori asked. Luna shrugged in reply. Silence fell on the pair for a few moments.

"You know, it's funny... I knew exactly how they would react if I brought a friend to the house. But for some reason, it just got to me anyway. I'm not blaming them or anything and I'm not completely mad at them, it's just... I don't want Sam to get scared off because of our sisters" Luna revealed. "Is it really that Luna?" Lori replied with her eyebrow raised. "I dunno" Luna mumbled. "I think in all honesty, it's not that or because you were jealous. I know what it was. You had something to ask and tell Sam. But our sisters doing what they usually do and being our sisters, hogged Sam all day. They prevented you from talking to her and it upset you. And it frustrated you" Lori stated. "You wanted to tell her how you feel. How you really feel. And you wanted to ask if she wanted to be with you" Lori added softly.

Luna looked down sheepishly and nodded. "Just understand that they are our sisters and what happened today is only natural. They are sorry" Lori told Luna. "I know" Luna replied. "Come on Luna, I have a plan in motion" Lori revealed. Luna looked at Lori weirdly. "I have gotten our siblings working on Operation L.O.U.D." Lori smiled. "Operation L.O.U.D?" Luna repeated with her eye brow raised. "It stands for Luna's Outstanding Unbroken Date!" Lori explained. "What?" Luna replied. "Basically, I've planned to have you two to have a super romantic evening with no interruptions tomorrow. That's what it stands for" Lori told Luna. "Oh, but we already had a date though?" Luna pointed out. "You call that a date? I mean I guess it could be classed as one but it wasn't fully official. You both were just hanging out. This is going to be the proper date" Lori argued. Luna thought for a few moments. Before; she felt extremely nervous about asking Sam the big question. Then with what happened with her siblings, it went away. And now that it was seemingly back on but as a bigger scale, Luna was even more nervous.

She looked at Lori. "You're doing this for me?" Luna asked softly. "Of course Luna, everyone deserves love in their lives. And Sam is really special and important to you" Lori smiled. "Thanks dude" Luna replied. "It's okay, but one more thing" Lori said sternly. "Yeah?" Luna asked. "I think... You should tell them the truth. It'll make things easier" Lori told her. Luna gulped. She has been terrified to admit to her siblings the truth. Not only them, but her whole family in general. But she knew Lori was right. They needed to know. It made sense. Luna had to put any fears she has to one side and tell her sisters everything. "Okay brah" Luna agreed, making Lori smile.
