Welcome to the Loud House

chapter 114: Secrets in the Loud House

Once morning came, it was then time for Clyde to go back home. His parents did miss him a lot, but luckily, they weren't as smothering as they used to be.

"Thanks for letting us have him, Mr. McBride and Mr. McBride, it was great." Hercules smiled to the adults.

"Yeah, it actually was." Zoe said.

The McBride family then drove off back home.

"Great sleepover." Hercules smiled.

"Yeah, it really was, even if the others kinda got in the way." Zoe smiled nervously.

"They were just being themselves." Hercules said.

"I'm just glad you're not mad." Zoe replied.

"Well, you know one of the only things that makes me mad is a broken promise..." Hercules replied. "Isn't that right, Luan?!"

"Yes..." Luan replied with nervous wide eyes.

"Remind me never to get you angry." Lincoln said to Hercules.

"You shouldn't, but no problem." Hercules replied before he and Zoe cleaned up from the sleepover last night.

Zoe even seemed to sing Spoonful of Sugar on the way, making her even more like Mary Poppins, as Lily had seen her anyway. The song seemed to really help.

"A robin feathering his nest, Has very little time to rest, While gathering his bits of twine and twig~," Zoe sang as she opened the window to let a bird perch on her pointer finger. "Though quite intent in his pursuit, He has a merry tune to toot, He knows a song will move the job along~"

The bird chirped to her before tweeting to her song which made Lily giggle and clap.

"I spoon full of sugar helps make the medicine go down~" Zoe sang. "Medicine go down, medicine go down, just a spoonful of sugar helps make the medicine go down in the most delightful way~"

Lily giggled as she crawled after Zoe while she cleaned up.

"They're so good together," Rita said about Zoe. "Does Zoe always like babies?"

"Usually," Nicole replied. "She says that they don't judge her, and plus, it gives her someone to talk to other than Houdini while Hercules bonds with Samson."

"So, did they have any human friends in your old town?" Rita asked.

"Eh, full mortals aren't often allowed back home," Atlas replied. "They were mostly friends with any fellow supernatural beings or animals."

"Well, that's good as any," Lynn Sr said. "Was there anyone that Hercules became best friends with?"

"Hmm..." Nicole and Atlas paused in thought until they suddenly remembered a young Minotaur.

"Well, there was this one... Kind of boy..." Nicole replied.

"Uh, kind of boy?" Lynn Sr asked. "What does that mean exactly?"

"He was a Minotaur," Atlas explained. "Half boy half bull."

"Let me guess, they bonded through strength?" Rita smiled.

"Oh, yes, those two were always at it with sports." Atlas smiled back.

"Zoe was also friends with a ghost girl named Spectra," Nicole added. "Though, one time Spectra asked Zoe to use her body so she could experience eating food again, and it got a little out of hand, but luckily, they made up and that won't happen again. There seems to be so much in this one house. How long have you had it?"

"Would you believe us if we told you we've had this house since Lori was a baby?" Rita asked.

"Whoa, that long?" Nicole asked.
