Welcome to the Loud House

chapter 119: Party Down

The next event came quickly, and it was going to be a lot of fun, or at least, everybody hoped so. Lori and Bobby soon video messaged each other, though Bobby was still a little woozy from his dentist appointment, he was glad to hear from her again.

"How's Bobby?" Zoe asked.

"He's much better, he fell asleep, but he was happy to see me," Lori smiled. "He says he should come to town sometime and we should throw a party."

"Sounds good." Zoe said.

"Thanks for your help, Zoe, you're pretty good at helping us out." Lori replied.

"I try." Zoe smirked innocently.

"And I know just the kind of party to go with." Lori said.

"Sweet, party at the Loud House," Zoe smiled. "That sounds like fun."

Although Lori's idea of her party wasn't what Zoe had in mind. Lori did a lot of planning and soon got an okay from Bobby about coming over for the evening while her parents would go out to the movies, and where everyone else she knew were going to be at the party.

"Lynn and Rita are going to the movies, anything you'd like to do while the kids have their party?" Atlas asked his wife as they were in their bedroom together.

"Hmm..." Nicole smiled.

"Whatever you'd like." Atlas said.

"Well... We haven't gone dancing in quite some time." Nicole replied.

"Uh... Dancing...?" Atlas smiled nervously as he imagined dancing with his wife nervously, but remembered on their wedding that he was so nervous that he kept accidentally stepping on her feet and they spent their honeymoon with her soaking her feet. "Are you sure about that?"

"Is something wrong?" Nicole asked. "You never want to go dancing, I don't think we've danced since our wedding."

Atlas shook, unable to hold it in. "I'm sorry, Nicole, but I don't wanna step on your feet in public again and embarrass you!"

"Ohh." Nicole said, now understanding.

"I'm sorry, Nicole, I just don't want you to get hurt..." Atlas frowned.

"That settles it..." Nicole replied before beaming. "Dance Lessons!"

"DANCE LESSONS?!" Atlas's eyes widened.

"Yep." Nicole nodded.

"Uh... On second thought--" Atlas smiled nervously.

Nicole booked dancing lessons which would be the same night as Lori's party. "Oh, look, they can take us without reservation." she then smirked innocently.

"Oh, great." Atlas said with a groan.

Soon, the night of the party came, and everyone was in the basement.

"We're off to the movies, honey," Rita smiled to Lori. "Have fun at your party tonight!"

"Lynn-sanity Sr. brought you some props! Nothing brightens up a party like a lampshade on the head!" Lynn Sr added before putting a lampshade on his head. "Huh?"

"I don't think she'll need any of those." Zoe said.

"Yeah, no offense, Dad, but I'm 17," Lori added. "I'm not throwing that kind of party."

Zoe then handed a magazine to Lori.

Lori flips through a magazine and shows a page to her parents.

"'50 ways to throw a sophisticated party'." Rita read aloud.

"Yeah, I can tell this will get boring." Zoe said.
