I don't own the loud house, the imagination institute or its characters, they belong to their respective owners. This'll be the final part of this trilogy I've planned for Lisa's dimension traveling device. Read escape from the Nazi world and journey into television if you're not familiar with said device yet.
It was just an ordinary day at the loud house, same as any other day. Lincoln loud was collecting the mail while his sisters hung out around the tv in the living room.
"Mails here" said Lincoln
The sisters turned to Lincoln to see who got mail.
"Lynn you get a sports magazine, Lola and Lana a message from the scouts, bunch of random coupons, and what's this? It's only addressed to L. loud." Said Lincoln
Lincoln was holding a big purple envelope. On it was a picture of a glowing lightbulb with red wings and the words Imagination Institute were written around the lightbulb. The sisters looked with interest as Lincoln pulled out a letter, and upon seeing a name, he handed it to Lisa.
"It's for you Lisa." Said Lincoln
Lisa took the envelope and read it.
"I've been awarded the Inventor of the year award and we've all been invited to a ceremony at the imagination institute to claim the award and discuss our experiences using my invention during its annual open house next Saturday." Said Lisa "Strange I don't remember applying for this, I've never even heard of this Imagination institute"
"Inventor of the year? Congrats sis, what invention are you being honored for?" Asked Luna
"My dimension hopping device" said Lisa
"Didn't Leni destroy that?" Asked Lori
"She did, and I put it back together, but it's been modified for accidental uses, it can't hurt us." Said Lisa
"You just can't let that thing go can you?" Asked Lincoln
"It's one of my best achievements, I won't just give up on it. Look we've all been invited to see this place and it says there will be unique one of a kind stuff to see on this invitation and-
Lisa rubbed her eyes.
"I'm not going blind am I? I swear this invitation says something about a dragon." Said Lisa
Lincoln took the invitation from Lisa and read it aloud.
"If you see a purple dragon while touring our facilities, do not approach under any circumstances. Things will get weird." Said Lincoln
"What?" All the sisters Asked
"Maybe it'll make sense when we're there" Said Luan
"We're not seriously doing this right?" Asked Lana "You all remember what that device did to us"
"We should at least be supportive. And this time we won't be anywhere near it when it goes off." Said Lincoln
"I will monitor the machine very carefully when we arrive at the institute." Said Lisa
"Guys I have a question. What's an institute?" Asked Lola
(Next Saturday)
After learning more information about the imagination institute and what a prestigious place it was, the family traveled to the institute which was located in the state of Florida. How'd they get there? They were flown out the day before, all expenses paid by the chairman of the institute for the occasion. The institute was a big building with 3 big glass pyramids on its room, it's logo was all over the carpets inside. The family arrived early in the morning with 2 men carrying Lisa's invention in a crate marked Fragile. They arrived in their normal clothes, with nice dress clothes packed in a suitcase for the award ceremony which would occur later that night.
"Dr Channing will be with you momentarily, he's just finishing his breakfast. Feel free to wait in our reception area" said an assistant
The family either sat or stood around chairs by a reception desk. Scientists were rushing all over the place, hanging up banners announcing the open house and welcoming guests to the institute.
"Nice place" said Lynn
"It's very colorful I will say" Said Lynn sr.
"It was very nice of these people to fly us down here and pay for our hotel." Said Rita
"Dragon" Said Lily
Lily pointed to a picture near a hallway leading to different labs. On it was a british looking man in a suit and tie looking up. Above him was a small purple dragon with orange horns, yellow eyes, and 2 tiny wings. A plaque under the sign read 'Dr Nigel Channing and Figment'. The family looked at the picture.
"Maybe that's the dragon the invitation talked about" said Lincoln
"Impossible, how could anyone make a dragon come to life?" Asked Lisa
"With Imagination" said someone behind the family
They all turned around to find a small purple dragon flying in front of them. It was the exact one from the picture. Lily held her arms out. The dragon flew up to her and gave her a hug.
"I love babies, such bundles of joy. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm-
"Figment, there you are" said someone with a British accent
A man with a cup of coffee exited out an office door and approached the dragon and family.
"I told you I didn't want you out of my sight" said the man
"Out of sight? Ok"
The dragon disappeared, frustrating the man. When he saw the family he straightened his tie and sipped his coffee.
"Good morning Loud family. I am Dr Nigel Channing, chairman of the imagination institute, principal scientist, director of operations, head of laboratories, and manager of everything else."
"That's quite a mouthful." Said Rita
"Yes I know. Welcome, welcome, welcome, to our annual open house. It is my pleasure to have you here just as it is your pleasure to be here." Said Nigel
Rita shook his hand and introduced the family while he shook everyone's hands.
"Good morning Dr Channing, I'm Rita Loud, this is my husband Lynn, and these are our 11 kids, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily"
"Pleasure to meet you all. Especially you Lisa, only 4 years old and winning Inventor of the Year." Said Nigel
"Just out of curiosity how exactly did you find out about me? I didn't know about you or this place til the other day" said Lisa
"We have scouts all over the world looking for the next bright idea. If I'm not mistaken you and your siblings antics in tv shows didn't go unnoticed where you're from, we have footage archived of many of you. How was that?" Asked Nigel
"That machine has had its ups and downs, mostly downs" said Lincoln
"I can see why, having to spend time in a Nazi controlled Michigan must've been terrifying." Said Nigel
"Hey how'd You know that?" Asked Lola
"Me and Lisa have exchanged emails, she explained some things regarding the machine and your adventures but we'll hear more tonight at the ceremony. Now as I'm sure you've already met-
The dragon reappeared.
"Him. This is why I won inventor of the year award, this is the figment of imagination, you may call him Figment." Said Nigel
"How'd you create him?" Asked Lynn
"That's a complicated story. But here at the institute, we don't know anything that can't be imagined. Anything can be created here, especially your imaginations, but you'll have plenty of time to explore once we open. Now if you please follow me-
"Come on everybody, here we go" said Figment before flying away
"Figment you are not to interfere with the tour" said Nigel
He groaned in frustration. The family went down the hall following the dragon.
"I really hope he doesn't mess things up today, especially with that machine of the little girls."'said Nigel to himself before following the family
