User blog:TheMaximumMatt/Shortfiction - Making the Argument

''[Short begins with the sisters fighting with their respective roommates simultaneously in the living room. Each are fighting about different things.]''

Lori: You are literally the absolute worst! How could you do this to me! Leni: Oh! I'm the worst here?! Well excuse me for just asking about it! Lori: You dirty little-

Luan: You'd do the same thing if you were living with someone like yourself! Luna: (sarcastically) Oh, look! The clown is gonna tell me what's good and what's bad! Clearly you have the taste of that of a god! You know, you really know how to not make people laugh! Luan: Oh, I'm sorry! I think I've gone deaf from your ear-piercingly awful "music", if you can even call it that! Luna: You better take that back! Luan: Make me, "bra"! Luna: Don't you use "bra" against me!

Lynn: You never care about anyone but yourselfr! Lucy: Says the one with the ego the size of an abyss! A dark, bottomless, soulless abyss! Lynn: Oh oh oh! You think you're tough all of the sudden!?  Lucy: Tougher than you, flatulence freak.

Lola: I hate you! Lana: Well, I hate you more! Lola: I hated you more first!

Lisa: I specifically told you not to touch it, and what do you do?! Like the brainless simpleton you are, you completely disobey my one simple order! How do I put up with you?! Lily: (blows raspberry) Poo poo! Poo poo!

''[The sisters gradaully get angrier and louder. Flames start to form in their eyes. They lift their arms up and are about to jump at each other, but just when htye are about to, the sisters freeze and glance at something near the front door. Lincoln and Clyde are angrily yelling at each other almost as loud as the sisters are.]''

Lincoln: (angrily) Do you not even care about what just happened?

Clyde: (angrily) Oh, I do care! Care that you completely ditched me!

Lincoln: I didn't ditch you! You ditched me!

[The sisters glance at each other with worry, concerned for the two's friendship]

Clyde: Oh, how typical of you! Too afraid to take the blame so you throw it on someone else!

Lincoln: Oh! So now you think you're some kind of genius?! Hey, who guess who I am! (Obnoxiously mimicking Clyde to spite him by doing a robot dance) Abort! Abort! System shutting dooooowwwn! (blows raspberry at his body sinks)

Clyde: Ha ha ha! You really know how to bring the party down, like you always do with your "plans"!

Lincoln: You think you can do better than me? If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead right now!

Clyde: Pfft. I'd be better off without you!

Lincoln: Well, gee! What a coincidence! I was thinking of the same thing! In fact, I think we're done for!

[The sisters gasp, horrified]

Clyde: That makes two of us! I'm out of here!

Lincoln: Good riddance I say!

[Just as Clyde puts his hand on the door, Lori stops him, grabbng both Lincoln and Clyde's shoulders]

Lori: Wait! Stop! What are you doing?!

Clyde: Leave me alone, woman! I'm leaving this jerk!

Lincoln: Oh?! I'm the jerk here?!

Leni: Stop! Please! I don't want to see you two like this!

Luna: Yeah! What's gotten in to you two all of the sudden?

Clyde: Oh, I'll explain to you!

Lincoln: No, I will!

''[The two angrily yell out inaudbile explanations. The two slowly get angrier and turn to each other as they are yelling. They soon turn to and yell at each other, pushing each others chests.]''

Lori: Stop! Stop! Stop! Both of you! Whatever the reason is for all of this, it's no reason to start going at each others' throats.

Lana: Yeah! You guys are like the best friends ever!

Lola: And best friends don't argue with each other over petty things.

Lori: And you certainly can't let it end your friendship like that. You guys have always had such a strong bond.

Luan: Exactly! I mean, look at us for instance! You don't see us fighting with each other all the ti- !

[The sisters glance at each other, realizing their actions from before.]

Sisters: Oh...

Leni: We were acting like that before... weren't we?

Sisters: Yeah... we were.

Lori: (to Leni) Leni. I'm sorry about overreacting about that dress. Leni: No, Lori. It was my fault. I'm the one who took your dress without asking and I know how much it meant to you. Lori: It's alright, Leni.

Luna: (to Luan) Hey. I'm sorry about what I said about your jokes. I didn't mean it. Luan: I'm sorry about what I said about your music. I really like listening to it.  Luna: No, I was the one who started it. I know how it feels to have someone insult your dreams, and I shouldn't have insulted yours.

Lynn: (to Lucy) And I guess I shouldn't have gotten so crazy about your bats, Lucy. Sorry, sis. Lucy: It's nothing. I know my bats can be a bit rough to deal with sometimes.

Lola: (sadly) I'm sorry about ruining your animals' places. Lana:  (sadly) And I'm sorry about ruining your tea party, and I don't really hate you. I'm sorry I said that. Lola: (voice breaks) I'm sorry I said I hated you too! I love you!

Lily: Sowwy...  Lisa: All's forgiven dear sibling. That experiment really didn't have any significance anyway.

[The sisters smile at their respective roomates and hug them.]

Lola: Can we just try to not fight with each other so often? I don't want any of us to lose each other.

Lori: You know what. I think you're right, Lola.

Leni: Yay! We're all friends again!

[The sisters laugh when they glance at Lincoln and Clyde, this time holding a smug smile on their faces with their hands behind their backs.]

Lincoln: Well, Clyde, you think they learned their lesson?

Clyde: I think they did more than just learn, buddy. (winks at Lincoln)

Lori: Were you two only pretending to argue just so you could get us to make up with each other?

Lincoln: Mmm... maybe.

Clyde: You could say that.

[Beat]

Lori: Huh... I have to admit, it kind of worked.

Lincoln: Oh, it definitely worked.

''[The thirteen kids laugh. The laughter soon ends when they hear Lynn Sr. and Rita arguing in their room.]''

Rita: This is all your fault! How can you be so careless?! Lynn Sr.: Well, I didn't see you doing your part, so what right do you have criticizing me?!

Lincoln: (rolls his eyes) Here we go again...

THE END
