Lisa seemed to be getting ready for something.

"Hey, Lisa," Hercules smiled. "What are you getting ready for?"

"Presentation." Lisa replied.

"Oh, is this about your time travel method?" Hercules asked.

"Correct." Lisa replied.

"Can I be included in your presentation?" Hercules smiled.

"I don't mind." Lisa smiled back.

Hercules beamed to that.

"I'm just getting ready, be right back." Lisa said as she made her preparations.


Hercules was happy about the presentation. The video chat soon began and Lisa opened it up to present herself with Hercules who stood beside her like a loyal assistant, and where there was soon shown a diagram about Lisa's time travel presentation.

"It was Einstein who first proposed the idea of time travel via wormholes, but now I, Lisa Loud, have come very close to actually creating one," Lisa informed. "All I need to figure out is how to harness the necessary energy to-"

Lucy then popped up which startled Lisa before rolling up her sleeve. "I need one of you to take my pulse. I'm working on a breathing technique that lowers my heart rate to the point of barely being alive."

Hercules checked Lucy's pulse and where it was still there. "Sorry, you still got a pulse." Hercules said.

"Dang it." Lucy complained before leaving.

"Pardon the interruption, as I was saying-" Lisa told her colleagues on the chat.

"Hey, Lees! We need your or Herc's help." Lincoln spoke up as he and Lana jumped in.

"What is it?" Hercules sighed.

"We found this cupcake behind the radiator," Lincoln explained as Lana held up a moldy cupcake. "It's got a little mold on it, but can we still eat it?"

Lisa took a look at the cupcake. "Well, only if you want to ingest gangrenous ergotism, allometry toxic allucci, or stachybotrys chartarum."

"Ugh, no thanks." Lincoln shuddered.

"You had me at 'gangrenous'." Lana said before eating.

"Oh, Lana..." Hercules sighed to that, shaking his head.

Lincoln and Lana soon left out of the room.

"Sorry again." Hercules told Lisa's colleagues.

"Now to contin-" Lisa tried.

Right at that point, Luna jumps in with a power chord. "Yo, brain box, I'm playing a gig at Sunset Canyon tonight, and I need to make sure the oldies can hear me, can you measure my decibel level?"

"Luna, now is really not a good time for-" Hercules tried.

Luna plays a chord so powerful it propels Lisa onto her desk.

"Lisa! Are you okay?!" Hercules gasped as that looked like it hurt, after all, Lisa was only four.

"I think you should be fine, which is more than I can say for my beaker collection," Lisa said with a sigh before she jumped off her, now damaged, but still functioning, computer. "I'm so sorry, it's not easy being a research scientist in a household populated by uncouth, disorderly siblings. I look forward to the day when I'll have somewhere quiet to work."

"Totally." Hercules nodded.

"Well, why not today?" The female doctor offered. "You're welcome to come spend this afternoon here at the institute. We have top notch facilities where you could continue your research, free of distractions."

"What do you say, Lees?" Hercules smiled.

"Really? That sounds phenomenal!" Lisa gushed. "I'd say 'I have butterflies' but, we both know that is just the reduction of blood flow to my stomach."

Lynn walks past the door, grunting, and then lets one rip, much to Lisa's annoyance.

"LYNN!" Hercules scolded.

"Boom!" Lynn laughed as she then left the room.

"How soon can I come?" Lisa then asked her colleagues.

"Count me in," Hercules said. "I could use a break from the noise."

"May he come along?" Lisa asked. "He's my most trusted assistant."

"Well... By all means." The doctors allowed.

"Great." Hercules smiled.

"Shall we get ready then?" Lisa smiled back to him.

"Agreed." Hercules nodded.

They soon went to get ready to visit the institute.

"I'm not annoying, am I?" Zoe asked.

"It's not you, I promise, we just need a break." Hercules told her.

"Who's gonna protect me from that jerk Terry?!" Zoe complained.

"Your boyfriend." Hercules reminded.

"James is my boyfriend, Terry's that guy who beats up anyone just for breathing too much!" Zoe replied.

"Oh, right," Hercules then said. "Hmm... Then how about you tell Dad?"

"Fine..." Zoe pouted.

"See ya." Hercules said before leaving with Lisa.


Hercules and Lisa soon arrived at the institute. They were soon given a tour after the female doctor greeted them.

"Lisa, so glad you and your associate could join us for the day," Dr. J greeted as she began to lead them around. "Let me give you the tour, over there is our biosphere, through that door is our nuclear fission facility, and those are the restrooms."

"When does the line start?" Hercules asked.

"Yes, I'd like to arrive early so I don't waste valuable research time." Lisa added in agreement.

"There's never a line." Dr. J clarified.

"Ooh. Perfect." Hercules smiled.

"Shut, the anterior entry way." Lisa gasped in amazement.

"In here is the crown jewel of the institute, our research laboratory," Dr. J informed as she opened the door to a special room. "It's at your disposal, enjoy the quiet afternoon."

"Whoa." Hercules smiled.

"Erlameyer flasks, two-thousand milliliter beakers," Lisa gasped in astonishment. "This place is every four year old's dream."

"You're gonna sing aren't you?" Hercules smiled.

"Oh, uh, you don't mind, do you?" Lisa asked.

"Go ahead." Hercules allowed.

Lisa smiled to that and began to sing happily. "The only gases I smell are the noble kind, There's no better place for my scientific mind~"

Hercules smiled as he was happy to see Lisa enjoying herself. Lisa explored the many sights and sounds. She came to a monkey cage and let it out. She then wrote complex equations on a blackboard. She then danced around with an arm load of test tubes and threw them in the air like autumn leaves. Hercules smiled as he had never seen Lisa this happy before. Lisa seemed to enjoy having no sisters around. Hercules smiled as he helped out Lisa with whatever she would need and there wouldn't be any distractions for them, and where after sometime, they got their answer to Lisa's time travel equation.

"Eureka!" Lisa smiled. "I shall share this with our colleagues."

"Yes, let's." Hercules smiled back.

And so, they did.


"Esteemed colleagues, I believe I have cracked it, by combining super magnets, nuclear fission, and banana peals, one can produce the necessary energy to open a wormhole large enough for a human being to pass through, boom, time travel." Lisa informed.

"Brilliant!" Dr. J smiled as she and the others began to stand up and applaud Lisa and Hercules. "An epic achievement."

"Thanks, anyways, we better get back home." Hercules said.

"Wait! You don't have to go," Dr. J told them. "Look at all you've accomplished in half a day. Imagine if you were here full time."

"We're honored!" Lisa smiled to that. "I'd say I have a lump in my throat, but we both know it's merely the tightening of my esophageal stricture."

"I'd love to stay full time, but I'm not ready to leave the family yet." Hercules said.

"Well, I am." Lisa decided.

"Lisa, you're only four." Hercules frowned.

Lisa began to make out a pie diagram.

"Lisa, I know you think you might be ready, but you're just a kid." Hercules told her.

"I'm fine, I'll demonstrate to the family later." Lisa replied.

"Well, if you're sure." Hercules frowned.

"Positive." Lisa nodded.

Hercules felt concerned as he knew Lisa would regret this later. It was then time for a video chat.


"You wanna stay there?" Lynn Sr asked.

"What's wrong with home?" Atlas frowned in a calm and soft tone, acting like an uncle, which he pretty much was at this point since they all lived together now.

His answer soon came as the Loud siblings made plenty of noise that would be very distracting for anyone trying to focus.

"It has its distractions." Lisa muttered.

"Okay, true, but that doesn't mean you have to leave your family and move to some institute." Rita told her daughter.

The rest of the siblings soon hurried after hearing those words.

"What?" Lori asked.

"Wait, Lisa and Hercules are leaving us?" Luan added.

"What's an institute?" Lola asked.

"Lisa, you've never been away from home. Plus, you're 4." Nicole told the young girl.

"They're right." Zoe said.

"I anticipated this reaction," Lisa said before taking out a pie chart. "And so I constructed this pie chart, detailing my psychological make-up. The green area represents scientific pursuit. Which, as you can see, makes up 97%. The orange slice at 2%, represents my affinity for West Coast Rap. And finally the blue sliver, at 1%, represents my emotional attachments."

"Dang. You're as cold as ice, brah." Luna commented.

"All I'm saying is that research is my life, and this is a huge opportunity." Lisa defended.

"Mom? Dad?" Hercules frowned.

Atlas and Nicole looked to each other before deciding to talk this over with Lynn Sr and Rita, and where it took some time.

"Well sweetie, you've always been... Independent, I guess we can give it a try." Rita said to Lisa.

"Hercules, keep a close eye on Lisa." Nicole added to her son.

"Oh, I'm actually going to be the only one staying here." Lisa told them.

"What?! Lisa, I can't leave you here all alone!" Hercules frowned.

"But didn't you want to return home?" Lisa asked him.

"Well... Yeah... But..." Hercules frowned.

"You may return if you would like, but I wish to remain here." Lisa told him.

"If you ever feel scared, you can always call us." Hercules told her.

"I call dibs on her room!" Lynn called out before remembering something. "Oh, wait, Lily's in that room. Never mind!"

Lynn Sr. began to get emotional. Atlas gently patted Lynn Sr on the back to help comfort him.

"Now, now, paterfamilias, what you're experiencing is merely the release of an endorphin called leucine enkephalin, which helps to improve mood, and rid the body of toxins, you'll be over it shortly," Lisa said before her father sobbed even louder. "Some people take longer than others."


Hercules was soon back home.

"So, uh, how was it?" Zoe asked.

"It was okay, but I was so happy for Lisa to be happy, but she's just a kid, she's gonna get homesick fast, I just know it." Hercules replied.

"Let's keep our laptops with us tonight." Zoe said.

"Oh, like you don't have your laptop with you?" Hercules teased.

"Oh, ha, ha." Zoe smirked.

They soon went to let Hercules settle back in around home and they kept their laptops with them and spent some time, practicing their magic for school.

Zoe began to shoot her magic wand at Hercules while he posed and she gave him a cape and a cane, looking like a young gentleman and began to give him a top hat.

"Impressive." Hercules said.

Zoe stuck her tongue out and soon began to transform the boulder on his head to be a top hat.

"Perfect." Hercules smiled.

"Okay, my turn." Zoe said as she soon brought out a blanket, a candy cane, and a crown that was a childhood toy of hers and not Lola's.

Hercules nodded and soon used his magic to turn them into a royal cape, a princess crown, and a royal scepter.

"Amazing." Zoe smiled.

"Quite majestic if I do say so myself." Hercules said in a posh voice like a dapper gentleman.

"Very much indeed." Zoe added, trying to sound like the Queen of England.

The Weather twins then chuckled to each other as they had fun.

"I wonder how long the spells will last?" Hercules smiled.

"Hmm..." Zoe said as she took out her spell book. "My book says about 15 minutes unless you have advanced magic, then it expires at... Midnight... Typical."

"So then we better not have these on for that long." Hercules said.

Nicole and Atlas smiled proudly from the window about their children practicing their magic.

"Yeah, I guess." Zoe told Hercules.


It was soon night time. Zoe found herself unable to sleep in her room as she began to worry about Lisa being away from home this late at night, almost like a maternal instinct even though she was a teenager and not Lisa's mother. Hercules didn't sleep either as he knew Lisa would call soon.

The twins soon ran into each other in the hallway so not to wake up the Loud siblings. "Herc?/Zozo?" They then said to each other before nervously chuckling.

"Erm... I can't sleep..." Zoe smiled nervously. "Uh... I must've had a nightmare about a baby bat left all alone in a cave without her parents or brothers and sisters."

"I had a nightmare of a wolf pup with the same situation." Hercules said before they heard their laptop's Facetime ringers going off, telling them one thing.

"I'LL GET IT!" Hercules and Zoe said before bolting off together, but they fell on top of each other, and tried to get to their laptops to answer the call. "Hello?!"

Lisa looked a little shaken up once they both answered their laptops, sharing a three way split-screen since they both signed in to talk to her. Hercules and Zoe could already tell why Lisa was shaken up.

"What happened, sweetie?" Zoe cooed.

"I... I had a nightmare..." Lisa frowned to them.

"We'll stay on as long as you need us." Hercules soothed.

"Not that I'm terrified or anything, but... That would be most helpful." Lisa said to them.

"Would you like a song?" Zoe offered, taking out a CD of little kid songs that she bought to listen to with Lily that she ended up enjoying herself due to the beats and rhythms.

"That would be most helpful as well." Lisa replied.

Zoe soon went out of shot for a moment and then brought out her CD player and put in the CD to put on a sweet and kiddy song known as At the Codfish Ball and she soon sang along to it. "Next Friday night, You're all invited to dance from 8:00 to 3:00, All the fishes in the sea are having a ball,~" she soon began, bobbing along with the song. "It's some affair, they'll all be there, From the herring to the whale, They'll turn out to shake a scale, In Neptune's Hall~"

Lisa began to calm down as the song seemed to help.

"Come along and follow me, To the bottom of the sea, We'll join in the jamboree, At the Codfish Ball~" Zoe smiled to Lisa. "Lobsters dancing in a row, Shuffle off to Buffalo, Jellyfish sway to and fro, At the Codfish Ball~"

"Though... It's biologically and scientifically illogical..." Lisa said, getting sleepy now with a small, amused smile on her face.

Zoe smiled back, feeling happy that Lisa was getting sleepy. Eventually the song ended and Lisa decided to sign off and said good night to the Weather siblings, now able to fall asleep much easier, thanks to the song.

"I knew that would work." Zoe smiled.

"Man, Zo, you're such a nanny." Hercules commented.

"Yeah, I guess I'd be a pretty good nanny." Zoe replied.

"You really could." Hercules smiled.

"Hm... Maybe someday..." Zoe pondered about becoming a nanny when she would grow up.


The next day soon came.

Lisa had contacted everyone via video chat. "Family, I've called to correct my earlier findings, I now have a more accurate understanding of my psychological make-up," she said as she brought out a new pie chart. "As you can see from this revised pie chart, West Coast Rap still stands at 2%, but scientific pursuit is now 48%, and emotional attachment has expanded to a whopping 50%. What I'm trying to say is, you guys mean a lot to me, I'm sorry I didn't see that until now, I really miss you."

"We miss you too." Nicole said.

"Why don't you come home?" Atlas suggested.

The kids seemed to agree about begging for Lisa to come back home.

"I'd love to, but I'm afraid that's not possible," Lisa replied. "Leaving now would cause irreparable damage to my reputation and future career prospects."

"Hmm... How about using your time travel theory and travel back in time to yesterday?" Hercules asked.

Lisa paused a moment and then thought about it. "Well.. I suppose I could try, it can't hurt, right?" she then smiled to him for his assistance, even if they were away from each other. The child prodigy soon went off to do just that.

"I know you can do it, Lisa Loud, I believe in you!" Hercules called out.

And where in success, she was able to do it.


Eventually...

"I made it!" Lisa smiled before wondering about something, and takes her shoes off. "Yep, all eleven toes, still there."

"Goo?" Lily asked out of confusion.

"Shh, someday I'll explain it to you." Lisa told her younger sister.

"You're welcome to come spend this afternoon here at the institute," Dr. J smiled on the video chat with her colleagues and it was just like it was before Lisa had left. "We have top notch facilities where you could continue your research, free of distractions."

"What do you say, Lees?" Hercules asked.

Lisa looked at him and soon looked back to her computer screen. "A very generous offer Dr. J but, I'm good right here, where I belong."

"What a grown-up decision." Hercules smiled.

"Thank you, Herc." Lisa smiled back.

"I'm a little hungry." Hercules said.

"Me too..." Lisa said. "Hey, Lincoln! Think I could get one of your famous PB&Js?

"Lisa style, coming right up!" Lincoln called back from downstairs.

"How does he do that anyway?" Hercules asked. "I mean I know how to make a PB&J sandwich, but not the way he's able to make it."

"I guess it's just his style." Lisa replied with a small smile.

"Yeah, I guess so." Hercules smiled back before covering Lisa's nose as he saw Lynn passing by.

Lynn soon came in the room and let one rip like she had done in the original timeline. "Boom!"

"LYNN!" Hercules scolded.

"Home sweet home..." Lisa sighed with a smile.

Hercules began to think up an idea, and where he knew which spell could make Lisa her own laboratory so she wouldn't have to endure any noise or Lynn's farts distract her from her studies and experiments at times. Eventually, Lisa came for her peanut butter and jelly sandwich and Lincoln cut it for her since she wasn't old enough to use a knife even if she was very intelligent for her age.

"See you later, Lisa..." Hercules said as he decided to make this a surprise.

It would have taken some time, but with magic, it took a matter of seconds. Lisa stayed downstairs to enjoy her sandwich. Hercules kept looking out just in case while doing what he did so he could make Lisa feel even happier about being back home, and after some time, it was complete. Lisa soon came back upstairs only to be blindfolded.


"I have a surprise for you, Lisa." Hercules smiled.

"Hercules, it is not my birthday, what are you doing?!" Lisa complained.

"I have a surprise for you and it's in your room." Hercules smiled.

"A surprise? For me?" Lisa asked.

"I've seen this in cartoons, but trust me, it'll work." Hercules reassured as he led her.

"Ooh, I can not wait to see it." Lisa smiled.

Hercules smiled back because she was excited and they soon stopped before he made his voice creepy like a stereotypical mad scientist and removed the blindfold. "Enter at your own peril, past the vaulted door where impossible things may happen that the world's never seen before!" he then told her as he removed the blindfold.

Lisa gasped to see that she was given her very own laboratory.

"Lisa, I present to you your very own Laboratory!" Hercules sang.

"Whoa..." Lisa whispered in amazement. "I... I don't know what to say... This is like a dream come true!"

"This way, you won't get any distractions or have to endure any foul smells." Hercules said.

Lisa suddenly hugged him. "You are a miracle worker!"

Hercules was happy to make Lisa happy.

"Thank you times infinity..." Lisa smiled. "I shall never forget this moment."

Lily smiled as she was happy for her roommate.

"Would you mind if I had some alone time to get adjusted?" Lisa asked.

"By all means, take your time, I'll be around." Hercules told her.

Lisa smiled to him as she felt excited about having her very own laboratory.

"In Lisa's laboratory, lives the smartest girl you've ever seen~" Zoe smirked playfully. "But some of her siblings blow her experiments to smithereens!~"

"There is gloom, and doom while things go boom,~" Hercules and Zoe soon concluded the song together. "In Lisa's LAB~"

"But seriously, that was a nice thing you did for Lisa, Bro." Zoe smiled.

"Well, I thought she could use it with the chaos that happens here sometimes." Hercules smiled back.

"And that was smart." Zoe smiled back.

"Well, I'm a smart guy." Hercules smirked.

"Yeah, yeah." Zoe smirked back playfully.

Hercules ruffled up her hair and walked off. Zoe pouted and used her magic to take out a hairbrush and straighten her hair out. This would be able to make Lisa's life more easier. Lisa smiled as she was able to work in peace with her very own laboratory, and where she wouldn't have to have anymore distractions or have to smell Lynn's farts anymore.
