Welcome to the Loud House

chapter 110: The Crying Dame

Later on, the week passed as Zoe filled out her application to become a helper for the daycare center and she soon sent it out to Dr. Shuttleworth to schedule an interview, even though she and Lily were close, this would mean that she had to be away on her own for a little while, though someone would drive her there and pick her up since she didn't know how to drive yet like her twin brother.

"Hmm... How am I going to get there?" Zoe wondered.

"Need a ride?" Nicole offered. "I can take you out for lunch after and we could have a girls day."

"Oh, thanks, Mom," Zoe replied. "But, um, will Lily be okay?"

"I'm sure Lily can survive one day without you." Nicole smiled reassuringly.

"Hmm... Maybe." Zoe said.

Nicole soon brought out a green dress with a white sweater. "You should wear this to the interview." She then suggested.

Zoe took the outfit and tried it on.

"Aw, you look just like me~" Nicole cooed.

"Hmm... Something seems not right." Zoe said.

"What do you mean, Zozo?" Nicole asked her daughter.

"I mean the color." Zoe said.

"Hmm..." Nicole hummed before she went in her closet and took out two same outfits, though they were midnight blue and majestic purple which were Zoe's favorite colors.

"Much better..." Zoe approved before taking the blue one since it made her feel calm. "I just hope Lily will be okay without me, I mean, what if she cries the whole time I'm gone and drives everyone bonkers?"

"Oh, come on," Nicole said. "I doubt that would happen."

"Hmm..." Zoe hummed in thought.

Soon enough, Nicole and Zoe went in the car and drove off for the interview. Lily watched as Zoe left before she sniffled and her eyes became wet and she soon cried really loudly since her best friend was gone, and where this startled everyone. Everyone came to see Lily as she cried her eyes out and it had only been an hour since Nicole and Zoe were gone for the day. Maybe this was a bad idea.

Hercules picked up Lily and stretched out her diaper. "She's clean." he then told the others.

"Hmm... Maybe she needs her blankie." Lincoln said.

"I'll get her giraffe." Lisa added.

The two then got the things for Lily, but she kept crying as not even those could work.

"You hungry, Lily?" Lori held out her baby sister's bottle.

Lily didn't seem to stop crying even for her bottle.

"Is she gassy?" Luan wondered as she gently patted Lily on the back.

Lily kept on crying as she was not gassy and just looked miserable.

"Are you restless, youngest sibling?!" Lisa cried out. "What do you want from us?!"

"Wait." Hercules said before starting to count them all.

Rita and Lynn Sr soon came home only to find out that Lily had been crying for a whole hour.

"Well, sometimes babies just cry and you don't know the reason," Rita told her kids as she picked up Lily and gently patted her on the back. "Oh, it's okay, sweetie~"

"Anyone notice someone missing here?" Hercules rhetorically asked.

Everyone began to think until they realized that three people weren't there. Atlas soon came back which narrowed it down to two.
