Author Note: Sorry I was sick yesterday so I couldnt upload this on Chrismas day like promised.

I do not own The Loud House.

Enjoy!

"LUCY LOUD!" yelled the man.

Nobody.

"LUCY LOUD!" he yelled again.

While he was calling her name, nobody noticed Bobby was choosing to sit further away from Lori.

Lori looked crushed but held strong.

And than when the third shout appeared.

She appeared.

"I'm here" said Lucy and almost everyone jumped out of their skin from shock.

However what happened next put the fear into her.

A woman who had a weak heart in the Jury section bent over and collapsed onto the solid wooden floor down below her.

"Somebody call an ambulance!" Yelled Mr Jutzi while his opponent lawyer was already on the phone with 911 while the medics who wer already on standby since a brawl could happen in Court, rushed in and made sure the woman was still breathing while the ambulance were on their way.

30 minutes later, the woman was carted away in an ambulance, while Lucy had her mouth open the whole time.

She had been warned never to scare people like that by her family and the people at the orphanage and yet still a year later she hadn't listened.

When everybody calmed down, the attention went to Lucy, who they couldn't tell what expression was on her face because of her hair.

She was by far the worst first impression out of all the witness's.

"The time is 11:15" said their judge. "We will now resume the case. Please confirm you are who you say you are and swear on this Bible"

Lucy did so, a bit shaken.

And now it was his turn. "Miss Loud. You like to pop out of places don't you? Has your parents ever told you to stop doing that or anybody around you?"

Lucy was silent.

"Miss Loud, you are under oath. This is a simple yes or no question" he said.

And Lucy said. "Yes. My parents told me to stop doing it. My siblings told me to stop doing it. My fellow orphaned kids and the adults told me to stop doing it. Everybody around me has told me to stop doing it"

"So let me get this straight" said the man. "Everybody is telling you not to do something, even your own siblings and yet, you do it anyway. Do you know what's that called in the legal world? Willfull endangerment and this is a crime." Before he said. "It isn't a laughing matter, Miss Loud. The phrase 'scared me to death' isnt just a phrase. People die if they are given a big enough shock or smaller shocks with no time to recover. The heart can't take it. You could have killed that woman, you could have killed anybody around you over the years. But it's okay, if one or two people die around you because you like death right? Isn't that why you hang out in a cemetery for your club?"

The moment the word 'Cemetery' came out there were gasps in the room.

Lisa opened and closed, but no words came out.

"Now let's move onto that shall we" he said. "Was it your idea to allow other kids to hang around the cemetery? Are you aware that some bacteria survive beyond death or develope because of the conditions? These bacteria are fetal to living beings and cause illness and these illness's can kill you very easily. Have you ever told your parents this is what your doing? Did they smile and tell you to have fun? Please tell me, you did not bring something from the graveyard home. You could have killed the whole family and the town."

Lucy continued to be silent.

"Miss Loud, you are under oath" said their judge.

"Yes, I took some things. But they were harmless" she said.

There were shocked gasps.

She did what!?

"I'm sorry, but where did you get your expert bacteria degree, Miss Loud?" Said Mr Jitzu. "Which professor did you go to, to test if the items you took were indeed safe? Which school did you study in?"

Once again Lucy was silent.

"People don't mess with the dead, Miss Loud because what killed them, can survive to kill us and evolve to become a lot worse. This is literally the original of the 'Black Death'. It shocks me and this court that at the age of 9 youve never read about this." he said, before he said. "Next question, let's talk about your home life shall we?"

Silence.

"Can you explain to all of us, why you are the only one in you family who has her hair over her eyes? Some places won't let you enter unless they see your face" he said, stunning her. "Even all your friends who are goth, show at least one eye"

And at the question, there was a long silence as everybody waited for her answer.

"Miss Loud" said the Judge.

And Lucy said, knowing this was going to bad for her parents. "Its because my parents don't like the look of my eyes so they tell me to cover them up".

And the moment they heard that, there was a loud gasp in the room.

And it wasn't until now, that what the Loud Parents deemed reasonable was now exposed to them as abnormal hearing those around them talk.

"How could they. She could have beautiful eyes!"

"Even if her eyes were ugly, she could wear shades"

"They actually let their child risk having hair in her eyes because they didn't like the look of them. How shallow can you be?"

"That poor child. She probably can barely see a thing"

These where some of the mumbles around the room.

The couple looked like they were being slapped.

"And your not even fully goth are you?" Said the man, before pulling out a book she all too fondly remember.

Her siblings remembered this book as well.

Lincoln remembered the lie he told to get his family off his sister back for this book.

It was Princess Party.

"I have never seen that book before in my life." said Lucy.

"Miss Loud, you just told a lie" he said, stunning her and the crowd. "This isn't just a copy, this book is signed by the author. It reads 'Keep smiling, Lucy'. There is even a spooky bookmark that can only come from you, marking a page and the pages look torn and worn out. You love this book."

Silence.

Cold hard silence.

All of her siblings faces changed.

"Miss Loud, you swore an oath to tell the truth" he said, "If a mere book can make you toss aside an oath and lie not just in court, in front of god and this whole town. Than that must be one heck of a mould, you're trapped into. This is 2019, its rare that you would find somebody who fits the exact stereotypes portrayed on TV. I my self like to rollerskate in my free time. People are literally making millions off of what they enjoy doing on the internet all the time, no matter how embrassing it is for them."

Before he said to the Judge. "Your honour, this witness is unreliable. I want her to leave the witness box now.."

"Accepted" said their judge. "Due to a break in oath, Lucy Loud is a unreliable witness so there would be no more questions aimed at her"

Meaning, she was nothing to this court, his opponent could come and try to make the Loud parents look good.

"Wait, just give me another chance" said Lucy.

"You had you chance" said their judge. "you either step down or the head guard will force you out"

And in a rare moment in her life Lucy made an exit like a normal person.

Only for the medics to come in after they had been paged and carry Lucy kicking and screaming, away with gloves and hazmat suit.

Everybody turned to the Loud Parents, and suddenly both of them got the sinking feeling they were about to hated by the whole town.

Mrs Xiuying, could not believe what she just heard.

Are you kidding me?

"I have just being informed that there is a risk of disease breaking out. We will continue this case when the whole town is disinfected." said the judge fearful for her safety. "I advise that you all take a shower and check yourself into a hospital immediantly because that's what I'm doing right now"

And never had their been such a rush to the door.

"Are you kidding me?" Said Mrs Xiuying to her clients. "Being near a dead pet is one thing, their corpses are cleaner than those who lived on the streets. But what possessed you to say yes to letting your child near a graveyard often? It's a miracle you didn't just kill your daughter and everybody in this whole town by now. And now my opponent is probably thinking about how to charge you both with attempted murder. There is only so much ignorance you can get away with"

And both of them could not say anything, what could they say when Chaos was going on before their eyes?

Meanwhile Lincoln was escorted out just in time to see people in white suits come in and tape everything in yellow warning tape and a van going down the street yelling.

"I am the mayor of this town from this point onward this town is on lock down. Please go to the nearest checkpoint or medical center" said the voice of Mayor Davis through a horn having already got her okay. "This is a mendatory check up. Those who come back clean while recieve a Pin. Please do not delay"

And all the louds were shocked.

Did Lucy just shut down the whole town?

Did their sister quirk really shut down the whole town!?

How could Lucy potentially carry a virus when she had survived this long?

No, the actually probably expanded far beyond the town, those who came in contact with Lucy had gone on trips out the town over the years or moved away.

Fear was a powerful thing.

At this point the Mayor could only pray Lucy hadnt killed some innocent person who was just trying to live their life in another country.

Lincoln was taken by Mrs Smile to a children's hospital.

Adults could be checked in too if the adults couldn't risk leaving their kids alone.

Lincoln noticed that Mrs Smile was holding his hand like she was afraid that he would bend over and die any minute.

He wanted to say that he was perfectly healthy, that everybody who ever come in contact with Lucy didn't get infected by some terrible disease, that there was no reason for this fear but looking into her eyes...

Those words died on his lips, he couldn't brush it off like he was trained to do.

Looking into her eyes, it sank in for him that somebody who spent time near dead things scared the world.

Both of them were separated when his name was called and the moment they split, Lincoln felt panic hit him.

He was worried about Mrs Smile.

What if she just bent over and died?

The detoxing took only a few minutes but it felt like an eternity for Lincoln.

He was given bland new clothes but when he saw Mrs Smile, both of them practically ran to each other.

Both of them had been worried about the other and as Lincoln hugged her, he finally understood that he loved Mrs Smile like they were related by blood.

And unknown to him, the woman realised this too but both of them pushed this feeling dow and walked out in ugly bland clothes.

"This is really bad" said Mrs Smile. "We can't take the car, it has to be disinfected of scrapped and the whole orphanage has to be disinfected, they could destroy the furniture and people's possessions."

"What? They can't do that!" said Lincoln.

"Lincoln, I know your stuff holds memories but there is a chance something could kill you in there. There maybe no virus in the end but the potential is scary. Your sister should not have been allowed to be around dead things regularly or take something from there even if it was a stick." She said, leaving him stunned. "Even the stuff in my house may get the destroyed. But I have to move on. I'll still have those memories even if I no longer have proof with me"

And Lincoln could not believe this, because of his parents decision countless precious items that not just his family owned, will be destroyed.

He could not imagine how hard it is to think about the proof of your accomplishments going up in smoke because of fear.

It was a tough pill to swallow and Lincoln didn't think he could swallow his own.

Who would have thought one case would shut a whole town down?

In the blink of any eye, his parents who people viewed as naive but loving had become the worst people to grace the neighbourhood in the eyes of the public.

In the coming days there could only be tears.

And scene!
