Lana gets shot, a story by LoudFanWolf

It was Saturday evening at the Loud House, and everyone was eating dinner, including Derek Gabriel, who was used to staying for dinner at this point. While everyone was eating, Rita Loud made an announcement.

"Just a reminder to all of my kids who are 11 years old and under, tomorrow, all of you are getting your immunization shots, so be ready for that." Rita announced pointing to each of her younger children in particular. before sitting back down and continuing to eat.

This announcement made Lincoln, Lola, and Lisa groan. They, like everyone else in the world, hated getting shot with needles, but that wasn't the worst part for them, they also hated having to go out on what  was usually their lazy day, which was Sunday. Lucy didn't mind getting shot with a needle, as long as it made her bleed. The only person in the Loud family who was dreadfully afraid of needles, was the animal loving 6 year old, Lana Loud. Lana shuddered the moment the phrase "Immunization shots" left her mothers mouth. Lana remembered the time when she was 4 and had to come in for an immunization shot. The moment that 4 year old Lana had caught sight of the sharp needle, she screeched and tried to wrestle herself out of her mothers arms while the doctor treid to stab his sharp needle into Lanas arm, and when the doctor did finally manage to poke Lana in the arm with the needle, it hurt so much to her that she cried all the way home.

After dinner was over, Lana trudged up to her room anxiously, breathing heavily, incredibly nervous about tomorrows events, and once she was in her room, she laid on her bed and stared at her ceiling, internally worrying. Derek followed Lana up the stairs, having seen her reaction to her mothers announcement, and wanted to help the poor girl not be scared.

Derek entered Lana and Lolas bedroom quietly, and Lana, who was too busy staring at the ceiling did not hear anyone come in, so she became startled when Derek said "afraid to go to the doctor tomorrrow, Lansy?"

Lana gasped, and quickly sat up in bed before crying "Derk, you scared me!"

"Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know that you were so scared of needles, Lansy." Derek said as we walked over to Lanas bed and sat next to her.

"Derk, I'm not just afraid of needles, I'm terrified of them! They're so pointy, a-and s-sharp." Lana shuddered as she began to think about how the needle might hurt her.

"Awww, come here, Lansy." Derek said as he wrapped his arms around the 6 year old tomboy, who immediately did the same thing to her 2nd big brother figure as she shook from fear. Soon, Lana began to cry. Derek then went to work, rubbing the tomboys small back, shh-ing her, and telling her that everything was going to be alirght..

"I don;t wanna get hurt, Derk." Lana cried as she snuggled deeper into Dereks shirt.

"It's gonna be okay, Lansy, I promise. And you know what? The needle won't even hurt that much, it'll just be a little poke."

"But what if it's more than just a little poke?!" Lana asked anxiously.

"I swear to you, angel, it's going to be nothing more than that." Derek replied with a reassuring smile.

"But I just know the minute I see that needle, I'm gonna freak out. What am I gonna do, Derk?" Lana asked, looking into the blue eyes of her 'brother.'

"Well, y'know, Lansy, I used to be afraid of needles as well.  I, like you, HATED getting shots when I was younger. But you know what I did to get through them?" Derek said.

"What did you do?" Lana asked, curious as to how her 2nd big brother figure got over his fear of needles.

"Once the needle came out, I just kept chanting 'I'm tough, I'm tough,' and chanting that made me feel like I could actually take the pain of that needle, and it gave me more confidence. And wouldn't you know it? The needle didn't even hurt that much to me. So, Lansy, I suggest that you try that tomorrow, and I swear that if you do, everything will be okay."

"Are you sure?" Lana asked.

"I'm very sure." Derek replied with another reassuring smile.

"Okay, thanks, Derk." Lana said, starting to cheer up.

"You're very welcome, Lana." Derek replied, kissing Lanas forehead. "I love you, my little tomboy."

"I love you too, Derk. Thanks a lot." Lana as they broke her and Dereks hug.session apart.

Lana then finally smiled. "I think I'm starting to feel a little better about tomorrow." Lana told Derek.

"That's great, Lansy." Derek replied with another smile. "Now, if you ever need me again, I'll be in Luan and Lunas room, okay?"

Lana nodded, and with that, Derek went off to go do some cuddling and joking with his girlfriend, Luan.

The next day, at the doctors office, the moment that Lana saw the doctor pull out the needle, she began to chant 'I'm tough, I'm tough, I'm Lana Loud, I can handle this."

As Lana found out, Derek was right, as soon as the needle went into her arm, the pain went as fast as it came, and Lana thought that the needle didn't even hurt that much. Thanks to Derek, Lana made it through her immunization shot without even shedding a tear.
