Welcome to the Loud House

chapter 15: Pool for the Louds

"Um, Lincoln, you should probably read this label." Hercules said as he noticed one of the labels.

"CANNONBALL!--" Lincoln ran over, then came to the label. "'Warning: No cannonballs. May cause tears'. How did I not notice this before? Eh, I'll just rip this off."

Zoe pointed to the other label.

"'No removing the warning label?' Sheesh! What can I do?" Lincoln complained.

"Just get in the pool and try to have fun?" Hercules shrugged.

"That's all right," Lincon shrugged as he got into the pool with the Weather twins. "This is still gonna be paradise for us."

"Yeah, but what can we do?" Zoe asked.

Lincoln tried to get comfortable, but soon found himself bored and even tried to do what his sisters did in the pool to have some fun.

"I'm starting to miss the others..." Hercules sighed.

"Well, you two were kind of harsh." Zoe said.

"US?!" Lincoln and Hercules gaped at her.

"They were just having fun." Zoe defended the Loud sisters.

Hercules soon showed her the list of things that weren't exactly fun.

"Still kinda brutal of you to throw them out like that." Zoe replied.

"Yeah, I guess so." Hercules said.

"What's going on?" Lincoln wondered as he heard the others having a lot more fun than they were.

"Let's go and see what's going on." Hercules said.

It turns out that the girls and Bobby were hanging out in the Deluxe Swimming Pool. Lola was even joining in on the fun and had a plastic covering over her 'swim gown'.

"I did not see that coming." Hercules said.

"Okay, this time, instead of Marco Polo, why don't we just use our real names?" Luan suggested to her dumb sister.

"Okay... So I'm..." Leni was about to say before she saw her brother and the Weather twins. "Lincoln?"

"Boy, you really don't get this game at all, do you?" Luan frowned, but then saw the three. "Oh... Hey, guys!"

"Hey, girls." Zoe greeted.

"Hey, guys," Lincoln also greeted. "What is all this?"

"Well, little bro, you had such a good idea in buying your pool, we decided to--" Lori started.

"'Pool' our money to get this one!" Luan then finished with a laugh which made everyone else groan.

"Oh, the puns." Zoe groaned.

Lynn then hit Luan on the head with a pool noodle.

"So, is there enough room in your pool for us?" Hercules asked.

"Well... Even if you guys were kinda meanies." Lola started.

"Not to mention selfish." Lucy added.

"And bossy." Lori added.

"And one of them stole my whistle!" Bobby added.

"But that doesn't mean that they can't use our pool." Luan then finished with a smile.

"So forgiven?" Hercules asked.

"Forgiven." the Loud sisters agreed.

The three smiled and then joined the sisters in the Deluxe Swimming Pool.

"CANNONBALL!" Lincoln ran over to finally cannonball into the water.

"No, wait!" Hercules stopped Lincoln as he saw a label with the same warning as the first pool.

SPLASH!

Hercules and Zoe groaned.

"Whoa, dude, looks like pool's out for summer." Luna commented.

"We could use our backyard pool." Hercules suggested.

"That should do better than the frozen succotash." Lisa agreed.

"So, it turns out that a pool, and basically everything awesome in life, is more fun when everyone gets to be a part of it." Lincoln smiled as they shared the tiny pool, it was small, but it was better than nothing, as he had learned yet another very important lesson.

"Why are you in that small pool and not in this one?" Zoe asked as there was a bigger pool next to them.

"Let me get that." Hercules modified the pool to make it bigger for all of them to share without getting cramped.

"Cool." Lincoln smiled.

"Nothing could ruin this." Hercules smiled back.

Bobby blew his whistle. "Fecal incident!"

"LOUD FAMILY AND WEATHER TWINS OUT!" the others cried out as they ran out while Lily splashed happily in the water.

"You just jinxed it." Zoe sighed.

"Well, at least Lily's having fun..." Hercules also sighed.

"Yeah, but she's splashing in disgusting water." Zoe said.

Hercules and Lincoln shuddered.
