All right, it's been a while, but it's time I finally wrap this short story up, what I should have done a couple years ago! I'll post my final thoughts on this story after I'm done! Anyway, enjoy!

In the main area, Lola had just thrown Lana up in the air as the latter gave a spinning kick towards a pouncing Monster Goldfish, before landing right back down, shuffling her hands. Lola and Lana managed a fist bump as they managed to give a smirk.

"Hey Lucy! Bowl one over to me!" Lynn said as she started to jump up and down, waving towards a surrounded Lucy. "I'm open, I'm open!"

Lucy heard her and gave a soft smirk as she started to dive down, limbo style between the Monster Goldfish's legs before the monstrous fish turned to see Lucy standing perfectly still, rubbing off the dirt from her shirt. The fish gave a loud roar as they started to charge towards the goth Loud sister... before she stepped aside, letting the Goldfish charge straight at Lynn, who gave a confident smirk. She then stepped aside and held out her leg as four fish tripped over the legs and fell into the sewer river, being swept away.

Lynn and Lucy could only watch as the Monster Goldfish were going straight down as the two gave a high-five.

"Oh yeah, that was pure teamwork right there!" Lynn grinned. "Great job out there, Lucy!"

"As much as I would have enjoyed being fish food, I think your lives are a little more important at the moment." Lucy said with a small smile on her face.

The sports-loving Loud girl could only give a small chuckle as she stared at the girl nervously, making her wonder.

Lincoln and Lisa, on the other hand, were doing their best to save Lily from the Monster Goldfish that was holding her. "Okay, Lisa, any idea how we can get Lily out of the flippers of those goldfish!"

"I can think of one solution..." Lisa said with a small smile on her face. "Lincoln, how good are you at physics?"

"Not having your brain? I'm still working on fifth grade MATH!" The white haired boy pointed out with a glare.

"Never mind. Just follow along." Lisa said as she ran around and pushed Lincoln from behind.

The boy screamed a bit as he felt his shoes sliding with his body as he was knocked into the Monster Goldfish's legs, Lincoln's head bashing against its knee. The Monster Goldfish gave a roar as he let Lily fall, only to be caught just in time by a confident Lisa as the baby girl giggled.

"Once again, physics saves all." Lisa said as Lincoln recovered.

Around that time, the four eldest Loud siblings came out and joined the other Loud sisters and Lincoln as they noticed only a few Monster Goldfish remaining as they were looking ready to fight.

"Sheesh, there's, like, too many of them!" Leni said in worry. "What do we do?"

Lisa frowned as she crossed her arms. "It appears we are in quite the conundrum... but I think I have a solution."

A loud roar was heard as the Loud siblings looked over towards the entrance in worry, just as something more monstrous was rounding the corner, oozing with the dirty, radioactive water as the Monster Goldfish had a glowing effect surrounding it. The fish once again spoke in its native language, pointing to the humans. They did not need Lisa's translator to know what the King Fish was saying.

"We better go fast! According to my watch, we only have approximately five minutes!" Lisa said as she motioned over to the sisters.

"Five minutes for what?" Lincoln asked.

"No time to explain!" Lisa said as the siblings proceeded to follow Lisa, whilst being chased by the Monster Goldfish.

Pretty soon, all eleven siblings were running down the sewers, turning every corner, trying to retrace their footsteps towards the sewer grate they entered from as Lisa seemed determined about something. The other siblings were still confused as Lincoln said, "Are you going to tell us now?"

"No, no, no, no time!" Lisa shook her head as the siblings rounded another corner.

"Like, when are you going to tell us?" Leni asked in curiosity.

"No time!" Lisa shook her head.

"I think we have plenty of ti-" Lori started.

"No. Time!" Lisa glared as most of the siblings kept silent, and just in time too as they needed the second wind to get away from the chasing monster goldfish.

And so, they continually ran, rounding every corner they could before they spotted the familiar open grate they entered from the sewers... and from the looks of it, the morning light had started to pierce through.

"Have we really been down here for five hours?" Luna asked, in disbelief. "Somehow, I feel like it's been a bit shorter than that."

"Shush!" Lisa said as the siblings stopped. "Okay, one at a time, climb up the ladder and hurry!"

"What's your plan?" Lincoln asked as the youngest, starting with Lana, started going up first.

"This is the plan." Lisa said.

"THIS is the plan?" Lincoln asked as Lucy started climbing up next.

"Don't worry, all will be clear when you all get up there. Come on, already!" Lisa said as she pushed Lincoln towards the ladder.

Lincoln paused before climbing up fast, still looking wary at the approaching Monster Goldfish as the five eldest sisters followed right after, before getting to the surface area, sighing in relief.

"Lisa!" Lori called down from below the sewers to see the little genius girl climbing up the ladder and stopping midway to see the Monster Goldfish approaching her. "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Lisa said nothing as she held up her hand, counting down from three, much to the siblings' confusion. All of a sudden, just as Lisa's fist closed and the Monster Goldfish were about to get to the ladder, a very loud trinkling sound was heard. Everybody save for Lisa looked confused as Lincoln looked to the left. All of a sudden, as if something had happened, the Monster Goldfish looked over and yelped as they tried to run away, but it was already too late. The rush of flooding water was heard as the Monster Goldfish let out a loud scream, causing them to run.

However, they weren't able to beat out the flushing water was they got swept into the abyss and into uncharted territory with Lisa giving a small smirk, before climbing up.

The girls and Lincoln cheered as Lisa gave a small bow. "Please, don't thank me, thank my brilliant mind."

"But how did you know that rush of water would come right down."

"Quite simple, my less-than-intelligent brother." Lisa said as she closed the sewer grate. "Every early morning, ten minutes after five, approximately eight people in our neighborhood always goes to the restroom and flushes. Only common courtesy, after all."

The sisters looked at the girl in awe as Lori said, "And those flushes are enough to make a large flood every often?"

"You'd be quite surprised. I knew that if I timed it just right, the chasing goldfish would be swept away." Lisa explained.

"So... that's it, then? Those Monster Goldfish are no more?" Leni asked, biting her lip.

"I can assure you, my second eldest sibling, that we will never see those goldfish ever again." Lisa nodded as the girls gave a sigh of relief.

As the girls and Lincoln started to head back to their home, Lincoln paused as he scratched his head. "What I don't understand is how these goldfish managed to be real in the first place... and monstrous?"

"That... may be because of me." Lisa sighed. "Any failed experiments that don't work tend to be flushed down the toilet and... may have revived a few dead fish unintentionally."

"How do you figure?" Lincoln asked in surprise.

"I don't, but I have been flushing some failed experiments down the drain and... it's only my theory. All I know is, I'm not flushing down failed experiments ever again. Not after what we saw tonight." Lisa noted.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Lola frowned as she gave a yawn. "You know, we had a lot of excitement for one night, don't you think?"

"Yeah..." Lana yawned. "Maybe we can sleep in tomorrow and forget this adventure ever happened."

"I agree." Lynn nodded. "I don't even care if I miss tomorrow's practice, right now, I'm open to competing for the world's best sleeper."

All the other sisters save for Lisa and Leni agreed as they went inside the house and started to march upstairs, ready to turn in for the night. The only three who didn't immediately run upstairs were Leni, Lisa and Lincoln themselves as Leni scratched her head.

"Where do you think those Monster Goldfish will end up?" Leni asked.

"I'm sure that they'll be miles away from Royal Woods. Either way, I don't think we'll ever see or mention them ever again." Lisa said.

"Yeah, just as well..." Lincoln said as he turned towards a wall. "I guess there is a lesson to be learned. A story can be true, even when you think it's false. And never be scared of... of..."

Lincoln yawned as the second oldest Loud sibling noticed Lincoln's eyes blinking. Leni then held Lincoln close as she whispered, "Don't worry, I'll tuck you in, Lincoln."

"Thanks..." Lincoln yawned a bit as Leni led the boy upstairs. "I need sleep, big time..."

As soon as Leni and Lincoln were upstairs, Lisa paused as she looked back outside near the sewer grate. Before tonight, she didn't believe Lincoln's story about Monster Goldfish... but now that she knew there were such things... she started to worry. Those fish may have been out of Royal Woods... but who knows where they would be flushed off to...

Meanwhile, in another city somewhere far away, near a nice little lake in the daytime, four kids were seen skipping stones as it seemed to be more of a competitive sport for them.

"Okay, football head, this one is for all the marbles! Loser gets to buy dinner for everybody!" A familiar pink bow wearing girl laughed as she turned towards the two boys.

"Whatever you say, Helga." The football headed kid laughed.

"Please, Pataki, you got lucky with just one throw. Let's see you top this!" An African-American kid with a red shirt and tall hair smirked as he spun around and threw the stone he was holding as it skipped a good distance.

The petite glasses-wearing girl wearing blue giggled as she gave a clap. "Oh this is going to be the biggest record yet!"

"That's nothing..." Helga laughed. "Watch what I can do. Phoebe, be ready to record this."

"Recording!" Phoebe chirped adorably as Helga looked ready to throw her stone...

Little did any of them realize was that at this very moment, some monstrous creatures had just arrived in this very lake, swimming around as they seemed ready to take revenge on the kids that were throwing rocks at them...

TO BE CONTINUED... MAYBE?

Orange Ratchet Story

"That's All, Folks!"

An Orange-Ratchet Fanfiction

Well, it wasn't easy, but this story is in the Complete section! How did you guys like it? Let's get to my final thoughts!

When I first conceived this Loud House story back in 2016, it was supposed to be a short Loud House story for Halloween, non-canon, but still having fun with the characters. However, I kind of delayed this for a while and eventually put it in the 'get to it when I get to it' pile. Fortunately, though, when looking for a short story to complete when I noticed that 'Loud House' was rising in the polls for stories people wanted to see me do, I decided to finish up the ones I started on, and this one was on the top of my list! As for the story itself, it wasn't much, just a simple story with a small twist that I'm probably not going to mention in other fics... in fact, I'm probably not going to continue it with the Hey Arnold! thing, that was just something I added in for a fun cameo! But if you guys want to continue that story, by all means, go ahead. I won't stop you! I had fun writing this small story, and I hope you had fun reading it!

Anyway, thank you all for reading, and have a very wonderful day!
