Big Words, Little Girls, a story by LoudFanWolf

A is for Antipenultimate

Lola was in her bedroom, having a tea party with her many stuffed animals, when Derek came in. Lola saw him, and smiled.

"Derky," Lola cried in jubilation as she ran up and hugged her 2nd big brother figure, "you're just in time for my tea party! Wanna join me and my stuffed animals?

"Of course, Lols." Derek replied. "I mean, who am I to refuse to refuse Antipenultimate Loud kid?"

"Antipenultimate?" Lola's brow furrowed. "Is that an insult?" Lola asked as cliches her fists, ready to defend her own honor.

"No, no, no, of course not, Lols." Derek said as he put both his hands into a "stop and calm down" position. "Antipenultimate is a big word that means 'third to last,' and since Lisa and Lily are the only 2 siblings that are younger than you, that makes you, Lola Loud, the Antipenultimate Loud kid."

"Oh, yeah, you're right. I am the third to last Loud kid. Well, unless Mommy and Daddy decide to have another kid."

There was a short pause, before both Derek and Lola began to laugh hysterically. The fact that they had 11 kids was crazy enough, so would they want a 12th one?

B is for Byzantine

Lana and Derek were in the Loud House bathroom doing some spring cleaning. Lana was scrubbing the toilet, while Derek was cleaning the bathtub, when a thought crossed Lanas mind. Lana stopped scrubbing the toilet for a moment, turned to Derek and asked "hey, Derk, have you ever wanted to try and become a mechanic or a plumber?"

Derek looked up from the tub floor, thought for a moment, and then replied "Nah, that line of work seems far too Byzantine for my taste."

"Byzantine, what does that mean?" Lana asked, curious about the new word she had just heard.

"Byzantine is a big word that basically means that something is complicated or hard to figure out, and for me, that something is plumbing and mechanics."

"Oh, okay." Lana replied. Suddenly, Lana had an idea. "Hey, maybe I could teach you about how plumbing and mechanics work, and show you that it's not as byzantine as you think it is!"

Hmmmm.." Derek thought for a moment before before saying "Alright, Lansy, I'll take you up on your offer!"

"Great!"

"Yeah, but let's get this bathroom cleaned up first, huh?"

Oh, yeah, right." Lana said as both she and Derek went back to cleaning the bathroom.

C is for Credulous

Derek was with Lisa in her laboratory/bedroom, helping her do an experiment, when Lana ran in crying, hugging Derek for comfort.

"Lansy, what's wrong, sweetheart?" Derek asked, trying to comfort Lana the best that he could.

"IT'S THE GIRAFFES!!!" Lana cried.

"What about the giraffes?"

"T-there... T-there...GOING EXTINCT!"

Lana began to cry into Dereks shirt as Lisa temporarily her experiment to correct what she knew to be a false fact in order to comfort her younger sibling

"Lana," Lisa started as she adjusted her glasses "the 'fact' that giraffes are going extinct cannot possibly be true."

"Yeah," Derek added "in fact, last I heard the giraffe population has actually doubled!"

"This is true," Lisa confirmed. (A/N: I actually have no idea if this is true but please bear with me, it's for the story)'

Lana looked up from Dereks shirt at both him and Lisa "But the news said-"

"Younger Sibling Unit, you shouldn't believe everything you see on TV, and shouldn't believe everything you read either. That's just being credulous."

"Credulous?" Lana asked, curious about another new word.

"Yeah, credulous, that means that you believe in everything people tell you, even if it's the factually or scientifically proven to be true." Derek added.

"Oh..." Lana said and paused for a second before saying "Well, sorry for interrupting your experiment. I'll be sure to not be as credulous anymore."

"It's alright," Lisa said. "Besides, it's not the Giraffe that's going extinct, it's the Rhinoceros."

"WHAT?!" Lana gasped as tears began to form in her eyes once more. Here we go again.
