Welcome to the Loud House

chapter 69: Average Lisa

The next day in school...

"YOU MORON!" Zoe yelled as she sat on top of Mike and bounced a hacky sack on his head. "How dare you ignore me! You're just a jerky jerk face!"

"Well, until Lisa changes to being a normal kid; that's what I'm going to do." Mike said.

"You're dead!" Zoe grabbed onto his neck.

Mike coughed and gagged.

"Greetings, classmates!" Lisa appeared, but she seemed different somehow. "It's me, Lisa!"

"Lisa? I hardly recognized you." Zoe said.

"Thank you," Lisa replied. "I created an algorithm based on the traits of typical high school students and reinvented myself accordingly."

"And as for your glasses?" Zoe asked as Hercules entered.

"Pshaw, I took care of that." Lisa scoffed.

"You gave yourself laser eye surgery?" Zoe asked.

"Physical appearance was the easy part," Lisa said as she put a collar around her neck. "Acting average is a far greater challenge, so I invented this baby to keep me honest."

"What's it called?" Hercules asked.

"Just a simple shock collar, but if I say something intelligent, it'll electrocute me." Lisa replied.

"What?!" Zoe yelped.

"I did it for you, Zoe." Lisa shrugged innocently.

"Mind if Herc does a little tweak into it so it doesn't shock you?" Zoe asked.

"I'm doing this for you, Zoe, so I don't mind my sacrifice." Lisa replied.

Hercules soon began to tinker with the collar.

"Hey!" Lisa pouted.

"I don't want you to get hurt." Hercules told her.

After doing some tinkering, Hercules was finished.

"That shouldn't hurt as bad." Hercules smiled to Lisa.

"Try saying something scientific?" Zoe suggested to Lisa.

Lisa winced at first before giving it a try. "E=MC2." She was soon sprayed in the face like a cat/dog.

"That should do better than a shock." Zoe said then.

"Time for a pop quiz, everyone." The teacher decided.

"POP QUIZZES STINK!" Lisa yelled out.

"Totally!" Zoe agreed.

Lisa then summoned her robot who then destroyed the pop quizzes. "I reprogrammed Todd to be average, too."

This made all of the students then cheer for her. This seemed to make Zoe smile.

It was then time for lunch and nearly everybody wanted to sit with Lisa.

"Looks like everyone likes the new Lisa now." Hercules said.

"There's no way this could backfire." Zoe added.

After school, Lisa appeared to be getting rid of her stuff as she wasn't a child genius anymore.

"You were saying?" Hercules asked Zoe.

"It's probably just a phase..." Zoe shrugged.

"Lisa, what's going on?" Hercules asked.

"Meh, just getting rid of all this stupid old science stuff." Lisa replied.

"What?!" Hercules asked out of shock.

"You don't have to go that far." Zoe smiled nervously.

"Oh, I do, guys, you have opened my surgically-corrected eyes," Lisa replied. "Being part of the gang is way more fun than being smart. Say hello to the new Lisa Loud! Street name: L-Dawg!" She then put posters of a certain boy band all over her walls. "Have you heard of Boyz Will Be Boyz? They're not quite Stravinsky, but-" she then got squirted again which made her flinch. "Gah! I mean, they're so cute!"

"This is backfiring." Hercules said.

"Dude, you gotta help me cram for my test tomorrow." Luna rushed over to Lisa.

"Sorry, I'm out of the tutoring game." Lisa replied.

"Bogus! Since when?" Luna pouted.

"Since Hercules and Zoe showed me the joys of being average." Lisa told her.

"We should run." Zoe gulped.

Luna growled at the Weather twins like she was going to kill them.

Later that night, it was time for dinner, but it was rather disgusting which made nearly everyone gag and spit it out.

"It's not my fault!" Lynn Sr told his family. "The recipe is in metric, and Lisa usually helps me with the conversions."

Hercules soon hid under the table.

"Thanks to Hercules and Zoe, I'm out of the conversion game, except for converting beans to methane." Lisa said before she farted loudly which made the table bounce.

"Oh, sick!" Hercules groaned as he ran out from under the table in extreme disgust.

The Loud siblings glared at Zoe.

The next day, the kids are riding in Vanzilla when they hear a radio contest.

'I've got free passes to the Royal Woods Day Spa for the first caller who can name all three classifications of rocks!' The radio announced.

"EEK!" Lola squealed as she called the radio station and held out the phone to her genius sister. "LISA, TELL HIM THE ANSWER!"

"Hard rock, soft rock, and indie." Lisa smirked.

This caused the Weather twins to go face-palm.

"What? Thanks to Hercules and Zoe, I'm out of the geology game." Lisa defended.

Hercules and Zoe were then kicked out of the van and it drove off without them.

"That does it!" Hercules glared. "I am going to change her back!"

The next day at school, Lisa began to act like the Fonz from the series Happy Days.

"Oh, Lisa!" Ms. Shrinvas told her bright ex-student. "Thank goodness you're here! We need the antidote you were working on."

"Sorry, Ms. S, I'm out of the disease control game," Lisa replied before walking off. "My older friends here showed me how lame and annoying it is to be an egghead. And I am outta here!"

"Don't worry, ma'am, I can fix this." Hercules told the Kindergarten teacher.

"Oh, thank you." Ms. Shrinvas sighed.

Hercules nodded and then went after Lisa to get her back to normal as the little kids suffered from strep throat and where he soon stopped Lisa from going anywhere. "Lisa, you are going back to your normal, genius self." he then said assertively and looked ready for anything.

"What? Why?" Lisa asked.

"I'm glad you're making friends, but your family needs your genius!" Hercules told her. "You can cut loose once in a while, but don't let your intelligence be a crutch to your social skills."

"You really think so?" Lisa asked.

"Trust me," Hercules soothed like a surrogate big brother. "Dad always told us 'If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything'."

"Thanks, Herc." Lisa smiled.

"Sure thing, Lees." Hercules smiled back.

The two then shared a hug together.
