Hi guys! 65 is back with another story for you guys! While I'm working on getting the first chapter of the Super Louds series done, I figured I might as well put the first chapter of this story up, and see what you guys think. So, this story was a request from one of my biggest supporters, TheLynnster! It's about the Loud kids' minds getting switched. Like they'll still look like each other, but their mind will be that of another Loud sibling. I think this will be an interesting premise, but let me know what you guys think of this chapter. This story is bound to be hilarious, and I'll do my best to make it so. With that being said, let's get into it! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!

Chapter 1: Ball and Switched
It was a typical Thursday evening at the Loud House. The Loud kids were keeping themselves occupied with their favorite things, while their dad was making dinner. Amidst all the usual chaos and noise of the upstairs hall, Lisa Loud could be found cooped up in her lab, working on her latest experiment.
"*finishes putting the finishing touches on the invention with her blowtorch**lifts up her blowtorch mask* Ah! Finally done!" said Lisa, as she paused to look at her completed experiment. She had created what she called the Probaball. It was a decent sized red sphere that had the capability of randomly switching the order of things selected. Lisa created it to help her randomize lists more accurately. Just as she was about to test it, she heard the sound of the doorbell ring. Then she heard her mother's voice.
"Lisa! The package you ordered is here!" exclaimed Rita.
"My uranium rods?! Uh, I'll be right there! I have to put on my hazmat suit.." said Lisa, as she left the Probaball on her desk, quickly put on her hazmat suit, and rushed out the room, leaving the door slightly ajar.
As Lisa rushed down the stairs, Lincoln casually strolled out his room, drinking some soda.
"Hey Lincoln! Think fast!" exclaimed Lynn, as she threw a red dodgeball at her brother, which he failed to dodge. The ball hit his stomach, which caused him to drop his soda can, and spit out the soda that was in his mouth.
"Oww..." groaned Lincoln in pain.
"Come on Linc! You were supposed to dodge!" said Lynn, in a slight tease.
"I know that Lynn, and I would have if I knew it was coming!" said Lincoln, clearly upset.
"I did give you a heads up." said Lynn.
"Whatever." said Lincoln, in a 'I don't care' tone.
"Come on! Let's play a round!" said Lynn.
"In the house?!" asked Lincoln concerned.
"Sure. Why not? It adds to the danger!" said Lynn.
"I don't know Lynn. That's kinda dangerous. We might break something!" said Lincoln.
"Pfft! No way! You're looking at a dodgeball pro." said Lynn smugly, as she threw the ball against the wall next to her. It bounced off of it, and many other walls and objects. Lincoln was pretty sure it cracked a picture frame. Finally, the ball came back at Lynn and Lincoln, and they both dodged it. The ball crash landed in Lisa and Lily's room. The sound woke up a sleeping Lily.
"Waaaaahh!" cried Lily, in distress from being woken up.
"Oh, I'm sorry Lily. Did your obnoxious sister wake you?" said Lincoln, obviously throwing shade at his sister Lynn. Lynn ignored his statement as she was searching for her ball.
"Oh! There it is!" exclaimed Lynn as she grabbed Lisa's Probaball. It was a fairly simple mistake as the Probaball looked almost identical to a dodgeball. It was about the same size, and it was even red.
"Uh..are you sure that's your dodgeball Lynn?" asked Lincoln skeptical.
Before she could respond, Lisa came back in the room, in understandable shock.
"LYNN! Put that down! That's not your dodgeball!" exclaimed Lisa panicked.
"Yeah, you're right. It's all made of metal. What is this thing?" asked Lynn curious.
"It's my newest invention, the Probaball. It's very sensitive, so please put it back gently on my desk." pleaded Lisa.
"Probaball huh? Sounds pretty weird to me." said Lynn, tossing the metal ball around.
"Oh, I don't have time for this!" said Lisa, as she carefully placed the package containing the uranium rods down. "Give me the ball Lynn." demanded Lisa. However, Lynn wanted to have a little fun with her sister.
"You're gonna have to catch it first!" said Lynn, as she chucked the ball out the door, over Lisa's head. It bounced off the hall walls and rolled into Lola and Lana's room. Lana was putting a jigsaw puzzle together when she saw the shiny red ball staring up at her. She smiled with glee.
"Ooh! A new ball! Alright! I'm gonna go outside and play with it!" said Lana, as she picked up the ball.
"What have you got there Lana?" asked Lola curious.
"This new ball I found! I'm gonna go test it out!" exclaimed Lana, clearly excited.
"*scoffs* No, no, no. This room is both of ours. So, since this ball rolled in here, it belongs to me too." said Lola.
"No way! I don't have to share this ball with you! You don't even like to play catch!" exclaimed Lana.
"That's not true! I told you I wasn't ready! Now, give me the ball!" exclaimed Lola, now trying to take the ball away from Lana.
"No! It's mine!" yelled Lana.
"NO! IT'S MINE!" yelled Lola.
"*clears throat* Correction. It's neither of yours. It's mine. Now hand it over." said Lisa, fed up with the bickering.
"No way! Four eyes!" shouted Lola.
"Why you!" said Lisa steamed as she tackled Lola and started fighting with her. The said fight dragged Lana in and the three started to fight over the ball. In the midst of their fighting, the ball slipped from their clutches, and rolled out of the room, resting beside the staircase. Luan Loud was ascending up the stairs, practicing her comedy routine with Mr. Coconuts.
"Okay, okay! What did the duck say to the bartender?" asked Luan.
"Uh...I don't know." "said" Mr. Coconuts.
"Put it on my...ball?" said Luan, as she reached the top of the stairs, and noticed a red, metal ball on the floor next to her.
"Um...I'm not sure that's how the joke goes tuts." "said" Mr. Coconuts.
"I know that! It's just this ball looks weird." said Luan, inspecting the ball, when suddenly she heard Lana's voice.
"There it is!" exclaimed Lana.
"It's mine!" exclaimed Lola, as she dove at the ball, knocking Luan out the way, and bouncing the ball even further down the hall. The ball knocked onto Luna and Luan's room door. Luna emerged with her headphones in.
"What? I'm trying to listen to some jams." said Luna generally, before she looked down and saw the Probaball. "Oh! Is this the new radio sphere?" asked Luna excitedly, as she picked up the red ball. Leni then came out of her room holding a poster of the radio sphere. It was red also, but obviously looked like a radio.
"The one from the mall?" asked Leni, comparing the Probaball to the picture on the poster.
"It looks like it." said Luna observing.
"It's gotta be it!" exclaimed Leni.
"No it's not! That's my-"
"What's going on out here? I'm trying to talk to Bobby!" said Lori, coming out of her room, and cutting Lisa off.
"As I was saying before, that's my Probaball. My latest invention. I haven't tested it yet, so it could still be potentially dangerous. That's why I've been trying all evening to get it back." said Lisa, explaining the situation.
"Well I'm confiscating it! That way, no one gets hurt, and you guys can stop fighting over this thing." said Lori, as she took the Probaball out of Luna's hands.
"Now Lori, there's no need to-" Once again, Lisa was cut off by the yelling of her siblings. The Loud kids then suddenly broke into another fight over the ball, and Lisa was really wishing that she had locked her door before she left to pick up the package. During the struggle, the ball once again broke away from the group and rolled right in front of the typically most forgotten sibling, Lucy Loud. She was just reading a book, when the ball rolled right into her feet.
"What's this?" Lucy asked, as she picked up the ball. As soon as she did however, she was met with 9 eyes of envy.
(Side Note: I know there are 10 other siblings, but Lily is just there to be there. She doesn't really know or care what's going on.)
The object they were envying: the Probaball. Suddenly, Lucy was overtaken by her siblings and the battle for the ball was unleashed once more. Finally, all the Loud kids got their hands on the ball at the same time, and Lily pressed the blue button at the top accidentally. The next thing the Loud siblings knew, they were blasted by a blue ray, seemingly piercing through their bodies. It didn't hurt, it just felt weird. When the light show was over, all the Loud kids laid flat out in the hallway, exhausted from both the fight, and the ray blast. Their antics upstairs finally earned a shout from their dad downstairs.
"Kids?! What's with the racket up there?!" asked Lynn Sr.
"Uh..nothing Dad! Just a little disagreement." said Lori.
"Well I hope it's settled then. Now come on everybody! Time for dinner!" exclaimed Lynn Sr.
"We're coming!" said Lori, in response.
The conversation that just took place was seemingly normal, at least to Lynn Sr., as it was his daughter's voice he heard, but it didn't come from his daughter. The other Loud siblings all sat around in confusion about what just happened.
"Th-That wasn't Lori!" said Lynn, slightly panicked.
"What are you talking about? Of course it was me!" said Lori.
"No. It was your voice, but it came out of Lucy!" said Lynn.
"Huh?" said Lori, as she looked at her attire, and realized that she was in the body of Lucy. "Oh my gosh. This is literally a disaster!" said Lori/Lucy.
"You're telling me. I feel like my soul has been separated from itself." said Lucy, but her voice came from Lincoln's body.
"Aah! No! You're in my body?" asked Lincoln, possibly hoping for a negation.
"And you're in mine!" exclaimed Lynn, but she was in Lola's body.
"Eww! Lynn's in my body gross!" exclaimed Lola/Luan.
"And you think having a princess in a comedienne is any better?" asked Luan/Luna.
"Aww no! You're in my body dude?" asked Luna/Leni.
"I'm afraid so. We're all INSIDE OUT!" said Luan, in what was either a joke or an actual summary of their surreal situation.
"Okay. How did this happen?" asked Lori/Lucy.
"I told you all already that the Probaball was potentially dangerous! It was NOT a toy!" said Lisa/Lori.
"Well it certainly looked like one." said Lana/Lisa.
"I can't believe the Probaball randomly selected your mind to go in mine. I feel insulted right now." said Lisa/Lori.
"Don't get comfortable up there either. I don't want a brainiac controlling me." said Lori/Lucy.
"Trust me, the feeling is mutual. I don't want to be in your body, as much as you don't want to be in yours." said Lisa/Lori.
"Oh come on you guys! It won't be that bad! It could actually be fun!" said Leni/Lily.
It was honestly kind of jarring for the Loud siblings to see Lily talking, even if it was Leni. Which begged the question, what body was Lily in? The Loud kids got their answer when they saw Lana crawling along the floor, like a baby.
"Well we found Lily. Man, she weighs a lot more now!" said Lincoln/Lynn.
"Hey! I'm not that heavy!" said Lana/Lisa, in defense.
"How would you know? You're not in your own body anymore!" said Lola/Luan.
"Yeah but I-" Lana was suddenly cut off by another call for the Loud kids to come to dinner.
"Coming dad!" said Lori/Lucy.
"How are we gonna go down there like this?! We're all mixed up!" said Lincoln/Lynn.
"We're just gonna have to wing it! It's game time! Woo!" said Lynn/Lola, as she raced down the stairs.
"Ugh...I have a bad feeling about this..." said Lincoln/Lynn, as he (she?) facepalmed.
"You and me both." said Lola/Luan.
Okay, so I know it probably got a little confusing at the end, with the switcheroos. How to tell who's in which body goes like this: The first name (before the slash) is the mind of the person, and the second name (after the slash) is the person's body. If it's still confusing, let me know and I'll put a list of who's who in the beginning of the next chapter. Also, let me know what you thought of the first chapter of this story! I'm really interested to know! Thank you guys so much for reading, and I'll see you all again when I release Super Louds: The Series! Till then, I've been 65, and I'm out! Peace! (Oh, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter TheLynnster. :D)
