User blog:MrTyeDye/Fanfiction: An Unexplored Bond (Room with a Feud Sequel)

Got another alternate ending for y'all. Enjoy!

''[We open in the hallway. Lana clomps up the stairs with both her sneakers caked in mud, and as she's approaching her room, Lisa calls to her from next door.]''

Lisa: Lana? Could you see me for a moment, please?

Lana: Um... sure, Lis'.

[Lana enters Lisa's room and sees that Lisa has a chalkboard set up in the center, covered with indecipherable scribblings and a crude sketch of the Loud house hallway.]

Lisa: It occurred to me that there may have been a flaw in my methodology when I attempted to design an optimal roommate arrangement.

[Lana just gives her a blank stare.]

Lisa: In other words, I tried to pair as many siblings as possible with their closest matches. What I should have done is aim for a layout that would make each sibling at least marginally happier than they are with the status quo.

[Lisa points to the chalkboard.]

Lisa: Fortunately, I've conceived a way to do exactly that. We'll revert back to my proposed layout, with just a few minor adjustments. Firstly, Lincoln will be paired with Luna.

Lana: How come?

Lisa: Eh, I think she's supposed to be his "guardian" or something. I'm sure they'll get along famously.

Lana: Oooookay... but then who will I be paired with?

Lisa: [Smirks] With me.

Lana: You?! Lisa, no offense, but we've got nothing in common. You're a nerd. An egghead. I'm nothing like that!

Lisa: Oh, well. I suppose you're right.

[Lisa picks up a chalkboard eraser and begins to erase her notes.]

Lisa: By the way, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about. The other day, I observed a plume of white smoke emanating from Vanzilla's tailpipe. Should we be concerned?

Lana: Depends. Was the engine running at the time?

Lisa: It was.

Lana: Then probably, yeah. Could be a sign of a breach in the head gasket. If it is, and we let it go unchecked, the coolant leaking through could end up warping the engine block, and that won't be cheap to fix. I'd check for other signs of a leak, like bubbles in the radiator or milky residue on the dipsti-

[Lana suddenly notices that a grin has spread across Lisa's face.]

Lana: What?

Lisa: You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were talking like an egghead just now.

Lana: [Furrows her brow] Touché. But still, I don't think you'd like living with me. I need someone who doesn't mind getting dirty!

''[Lisa walks over to her closet, pulls out her laundry basket and empties it out onto the floor. Lana sees several articles of clothing covered with chemical stains and soot.]''

Lisa: You were saying?

[Lana's eyes widen with intrigue.]

Lana: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. This could actually work!

Lisa: Splendid. I'll bring up my new plan at the next sibling meeting.

Lana: See you then! [Gives Lisa a chuck on the shoulder, nearly knocking her over.]

''[We fast forward to the sibling meeting. Lisa, standing atop Lori's bed, has just finished giving her proposal.]''

Lisa: So what do you think?

Everyone But Lisa and Lana: Nah. [Thumbs down]

Lana: What?! Why not?!

Lori: Too much effort.

Lynn: Yeah, I'm sick of moving my stuff from room to room. I'd rather just stay where I am for now.

Lincoln: And what was with that part about Luna being my "guardian"? I've never really seen her that way. No offense, Luna.

Luna: None taken, bro.

Lori: Sorry, Lisa, but we're gonna have to pass.

''[The siblings disperse and start walking back to their respective rooms. Lisa walks with Lana.]''

Lisa: Well, Lana, at least I tried.

Lana: I know, Lisa. But hey, this doesn't mean we can't hang out!

Lisa: [Smiles] I suppose it doesn't.

[The two of them join hands.]

Lana: Hey, maybe later today you can show me one of your science experiments. And try to make a real big explosion this time!

Lisa: Lana, I don't generally try to make my experiments explode. Although I could give you a demonstration of how sodium reacts with water, if you wish...

THE END
