Nightmares a story by LoudFanWolf.

It was 3:00 AM, and Derek Gabriel was snoozing on the Loud family couch. Derek had, once again, decided to sleep over for the night after Noise Complaints usual Friday band practice. Derek was calmly snoozing away, dreaming about this or that, and since he was dreaming he was unable to hear the sound of little 6 year old feet running down the stairs, and toward the living room.

Lana Loud woke up with a start. She had just had what was quite possibly the worst dream of her life! In her dream, Lana had found all of her animal friends/pets dead, but not just dead, dead and mutilated in various fashions. The dream had traumatized Lana, and she knew that she needed immediate comfort, and someone to talk to. However, unlike the many other times that she had nightmares, Lana didn't want to crawl into Loris bed for this particular nightmare. This nightmare had been personal, and Lori wouldn't understand how sad Lana would feel at the thought of all of her animal friends/pets being dead. Lana couldn't go to Lincoln either, for he was sleeping over at Clydes house that particular night.

That left only one person: Derek Gabriel. The 16 year old boy loved animals almost as much as Lana did; he had helped her out when Hopps got sick, he had taught her all the different types of nicknames for ducks, and Derek was almost as sad as Lana was when news broke out that the rhinoceros was going extinct. That, and Lana was Dereks favorite twin, so she knew he would help feel better.

With that, Lana ran down the stairs toward the living room, not caring if she made any noise along the way; she had just had a horrible nightmare, she wanted comfort and she wanted comfort now, darn it!

After surprisingly not making that much noise in her travels, Lana reached the Loud family couch, where she found Derek snoozing away peacefully.

Lana tried nudged Derek awake. "Derk?"

In response, Derek mumbled "No, Ma, I don't wanna shave it now."

Lana gave the sleeping boy a confused look before nudging him again, this time a little harder. "Derk?!"

Derek Gabriel never really liked being awoken by something that wasn't an alarm clock or himself naturally waking up, so when Derek was finally woken up, he sat straight up and went "What?! What the f-"

Derek cut himself off once he realized that the person who woke him up was Lana, who most likely didn't want to hear him curse.

"Flying saucers. Oh, it's just you, Lansy."

Derek immediately noticed the sad/scared look on Lanas face and asked "What's wrong, sweetheart?"

"Derk, I had a nightmare; a really really bad, scary nightmare. Can I sleep with you for the rest of the night?" Lana asked, looking like a lost puppy.

Derek smiled reassuringly. "Sure, Lansy."

Lana grinned and sat on the couch with Derek who asked "So, before we hit the hay, do you wanna talk about this nightmare you had?"

Lanas sad face returned. "I-I-I don't know. It was really scary, Derk. Well, not just scary, but sad, too." Lana said, looking down at the floor.

Derek put a hand on Lanas shoulder. "Well, Y'know, usually talking about these scary and sad nightmares will make them go away, and not only that, but it helps us feel a whole lot better as well."

After a few seconds, Lana turned to look at her 2nd big brother figure, her eyes were rimmed with sad, traumatized tears. These tears made Derek immediately wrap Laba into a comforting, warm embrace, and Lana hugged Derek back as she told him all about her terrible nightmare.
