At the Hill's household, Ed and Sarah were watching their parents packing their things into a couple of suitcases.

"Mom, where are you and Daddy going?" Sarah asked.

"Well, sweetie, your father and I are going on a business trip with your Aunt Rita and Uncle Lynn Sr for a couple of days, so your cousin Lori along with your other cousins will be coming over to watch over you two." Angelia told her daughter.

"Hm..." Sarah crossed her arms a bit.

"Lori's the oldest so she's in charge." Angelia said.

"At least she's not a drill sergeant babysitter anymore." Matt commented about their eldest niece.

"Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Cousins are coming over!" Ed beamed. "We're gonna have a good time!"

"And with that being said, Sarah, you'll be sharing your room with Lola and Lana." Angelia then said.

"Why?!" Sarah asked.

"Because I said so, that's why." Angelia gave her daughter a firm look.

"Oh, and son?" Matt soon added to Ed. "Your cousins Lincoln, Lynn, and Luna will share your room."

"Okay, Dad!" Ed smiled. "Can we watch Dinosaur King?"

"Uh... Sure, Ed... Whatever that is..." Angelia muttered as she went to go out the door with Matt.

"And remember, kids, listen to Lori and do what she says." Matt reminded.

"I better go and defend myself for when Lynn gets here," Sarah told herself. "She always gives me a wedgie whenever she comes over."

Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!" Ed smiled and waved as their parents went to leave.

Sarah soon ran inside to protect herself and her toys of their cousins coming to visit.

"Be good, kids," Angelia told them. "Your cousins will be over here any minute."

"Okey dokey!" Ed smiled.

Matt and Angelia waved, then drove off. Sarah went into her bedroom, making a fort in her room to protect herself from her cousin Lynn.

"I better get ready for them!" Ed smiled.

The doorbell then rang which made Ed smile.

"Oh, boy, cousins are here!" Ed beamed.

Sarah ducked down and put a helmet on her head. Ed soon came to the door and opened it, and one by one came in Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily. Lori patted Ed on the head on the way inside as she texted on her phone to her boyfriend, Bobby.

"Home is where the 'Ed' is!" Luan laughed to her cousin and he soon laughed with her.

"Sup, dude? Keep on rockin'!" Luna beamed.

"Ed, my favorite cousin," Lynn smiled. "How are you doing?"

"Cousin Lynn!" Ed beamed as he pulled her into a hug.

"Ed...?" Lori called. "Phone."

"Okay, Lori!" Ed smiled as he took her phone and went to charge it for her since it was on low battery due to her texting the whole drive over.

"You're literally sweet sometimes." Lori smiled back to him.

"Like buttered toast?" Ed asked.

"Wait, buttered toast is a candy?" Leni asked out of confusion. "How come I didn't know about this?"

"Sisters..." Lincoln said. "Uh, Ed, where am I sleeping?"

"In my room, Lincoln!" Ed smiled. "We can read Evil Tim and Ace Savvy!"

"Sweet!" Lincoln smiled back.

"And so are cousin Lynn and cousin Luna," Ed then said. "We'll have the best time!"

"Mm... Your room does have pretty good acoustics, cous." Luna said to him as she held onto her guitar.

"I trust we have decent living facilities during our venture away from to seeing your home, Cousin Edward?" Lisa asked Ed.

"Hm... Speaking of which, where's Sarah?" Lynn soon asked.

"In her bedroom where Lola and Lana will be staying in." Ed told her.

Lana was gagging already.

"Are you still carsick?" Lola asked her twin.

"No! I gotta share a room in that princess promenade!" Lana complained, holding her stomach.

"So, Sarah's up in her room?" Lynn grinned as she cracked her knuckles.

Ed simply smiled and nodded.

"Good boy, Ed, here, have a cookie that Dad made." Lynn said, giving him a cookie.

"Yay! A cookie!" Ed cheered before eating it.

Lynn laughed as she soon went upstairs to her cousin's bedroom.

Sarah was hiding behind her fort with a helmet on her head and holding a hockey stick, shaking in fear.

"Gee, I had such a long ride coming all the way down here, I better go to the bathroom first." Lynn said out loud as she pretended to go into the bathroom.

Sarah peaked out from her fort.

"And after that, I'm gonna take a nap!" Lynn continued.

Sarah came out of her room. Lynn soon hid away after kicking the bathroom door shut to make it look like she went in there.

Sarah looked around before she sighed in relief. "Phew! The coast is clear."

Lynn soon chuckled, coming right behind Sarah and soon gave her a wedgie. Sarah yelled out as her cousin attacked her.

"Did you really think you could hide from me?" Lynn smirked to Sarah.

"Back, I say! Back! Back!" Sarah demanded as she held her hockey stick in front of her like she was taming a wild animal. "Why don't you do it to Ed too?"

"'Cuz I like Ed better than you and you're brattier than Lola." Lynn rolled her eyes.

"Stay back, I said!" Sarah demanded. "Back!"

Lynn grabbed the hockey stick and broke it in half and grinned. "Let's wrestle!"

"NO!" Sarah cried out.

"Me first!" Lynn grinned as she soon tackled Sarah.

The Rookies were walking by The Hill's house, and laughed about something, but Cindy stopped for a minute, looked in Sarah's window and looked excited.

"What's wrong, Cin?" Kaitlin asked.

"Sarah's getting beat up." Cindy replied.

"I worry about you sometimes, Cindy." Robin said.

"I'm on medication!" Cindy said before letting them look too.

"Hey, she's right!" Kaitlin said before she then grinned and pulled out her phone. "This is definitely going on ToonFace."

Soon enough, Eddy and Double D walked by to see what was going on.

"Hey, guys, what's going on?" Eddy asked.

"Sarah is getting beat up." Cindy said.

"Lynn must be visiting." Eddy said to Double D knowingly.

"Yes, and if she's here, then that must mean that the rest of the Loud family is here too." Double D replied.

"Come on, Lynn, not the arm stretch!" Sarah's voice cried out. "Yeowch!"

Mike, June, and Dee Dee then came over to see what all of the commotion was about.

"What's with all the screaming?" June asked.

"Lynn is beating up Sarah." Eddy replied.

"Figures." Mike replied.

Lola soon opened up a window and looked down. "Hey! You're trespassing! You can't do that!" she then glared.

"Lola, it's us!" June called out. "Ed's friends!"

"Huh? Oh, well why didn't you just say so?" Lola smiled innocently. "Do you guys wanna have some donuts? I brought some on the way over, but I can't have too much. Ya know, gotta watch my girlish figure for the next pageant."

"Is there chocolate with sprinkles?" Dee Dee smiled.

"Yes." Lola nodded.

"We're in!" Dee Dee beamed.

"Do you want to play 'Tea Party' with me?" Lola asked Dee Dee.

"Okay!" Dee Dee smiled.

Mike, June, Eddy, Double D, and the Cartoon Rookies looked to each other, but Ashley texted on her cell phone as she acted like a young teenager most of the time.

"So, uh, Ed's cousins?" Julie asked.

"That's right, you haven't met the Louds," Cindy said. "Ed and Sarah's cousins on his mom's side of the family. They're a house of eleven kids, one boy and ten girls."

"Yeah," Ed added. "Cousin Lori, Cousin Leni, Cousin Luna, Cousin Luan, Cousin Lynn, Cousin Lincoln, Cousin Lucy, Cousin Lana, Cousin Lola, Cousin Lisa, and Cousin Lily."

"Poo-Poo!" Lily smiled.

"That's a lot to keep track of." Julie commented.

"Hi, there!" Robin cooed and smiled to Lily.

They heard a screaming sound as Sarah ran down the stairs, looking beaten up.

"No running down the stairs!" Lori scolded.

"Well, you tell your sister to stop beating me up for no reason!" Sarah glared at her older cousin.

"Aw, come on, Sarah, you know the old routine of whenever I come over for a visit." Lynn reminded.

"I think I have some bruises on me." Sarah pouted.

"Lynn, you shouldn't roughhouse with Sarah." Lori said.

"Ha!" Sarah smirked.

"And Sarah, you will not bother Lynn so she doesn't hurt you." Lori then scolded Sarah.

"She seems a bit nicer from the last time we saw her." Double D said about Lori.

"Maybe her folks yelled at her and sent her over to a boarding school." Eddy snickered.

"Cynthia..." Lisa greeted.

"Lisa Marie..." Cindy replied.

"How charming to see you again..." Lisa said.

"Yes, likewise..." Cindy replied to the four-year-old girl. "How's your college classes going?"

"I have to tone it down a bit and retract to Kindergarten, but I can continue my advanced studies when necessary." Lisa told her.

"So I see..." Cindy said.

"How about you?" Lisa asked.

"Oh, I'm fine," Cindy replied. "I've signed up for some special educational programs for the summer so I can get into an Ivy League college."

"Hmm... Interesting..." Lisa remarked.

"Yeah, I may graduate early." Cindy told her.

"Fascinating..." Lisa said.

Julie glanced over, a bit confused.

"Cindy and Lisa have a bit of a rivalry like Dexter and Mandark." Kaitlin told her.

"Ah." Julie said, now understanding.

"I think I may need to go to the hospital." Sarah groaned.

"Ah, walk it off." Lynn said before shoving her slightly.

"So, are you guys staying for dinner or what?" Lori asked. "I was thinking of us ordering some pizza for later. We live so far away from this big city."

"Well, if you don't mind." Mike shrugged.

"Course not," Lori replied. "Aunt Angelia and Uncle Matt gave us plenty of money to use while they're gone."

"Hm... I like this new Lori." Mike smiled.

"Well, let's just say I've learned a few lessons since the last time we visited." Lori smiled back.

"Guys?! I can't find any buttered toast candy!" Leni cried out.

Everyone minus Ed groaned and face-palmed.

"I guess Leni's feeling a bit sour on the candy deal!" Luan laughed. "Get it?"

Everyone then groaned at the bad pun, but Ed and Dee Dee just laughed.

"So, you guys all staying or what?" Lori asked.

"Well, the Rookies and I were about to have a meeting, but maybe we could come over tomorrow." Cindy said.

"Okay, we'll be right here." Lori replied.

"Come on, Cin, better hurry," Kaitlin suggested. "We don't wanna miss your mom's famous cheese fries."

"See you guys later!" Cindy told the others.

The Rookies soon went off to Cindy's house while the other Eds, Mike, June, and Dee Dee would stay over at the Hill house.

"It's really good to come in this place sometimes," Mike said to June and Dee Dee. "I felt more comfortable at Eddy or Double D's house when we were younger."

"Come on, Dee Dee!" Lola said to the tall girl. "You promised to play Tea Party with me, remember?"

"Of course!" Dee Dee smiled to Lola. "Do you guys wanna come too?"

The others declined, though politely so they wouldn't hurt Dee Dee's feelings.

"No way." Eddy scoffed however.

"Okay! Let's play!" Dee Dee then beamed.

"Great!" Lola squealed out of excitement. "I'll go get my dolls!"

Lana just scoffed at her twin and rolled her eyes.

"We'll play in Sarah's room." Lola told Dee Dee.

"WHAT?!" Sarah glared.

"I said we'll play in your room, is that gonna be a problem?!" Lola glared to Sarah, grinding her teeth aggressively. "'Cuz you wouldn't wanna make me MAD!"

"Trust me, you don't!" Lincoln shuddered in memory. "Or horrible things will happen."

Lola soon went to get her suitcase to get her stuff as she went up to Sarah's room.

"We should let you guys settle in first." June said to the Loud siblings.

"In the meantime, Ed, why don't you show Luna, Lynn, and Lincoln your room where they'll be staying in?" Lori suggested.

"Okey dokey, Lori!" Ed smiled.

"Ed's room is perfect for my practicing." Luna smiled.

"I'm sure it is." June smiled back.

"That means I'll have enough room to practice my Judo," Lynn commented. "I'll need a sparring partner."

"Eddy would love to." Sarah smirked.

"Say what?!" Eddy complained.

"Nah... I don't wanna use him." Lynn said, rolling her eyes a bit.

"Phew." Eddy then said quietly.

"Hmm... How strong are you?" Lynn asked Mike.

"Mike is really strong like you, cousin Lynn." Ed smiled.

"Mind if I spar with ya?" Lynn asked Mike.

"I guess not," Mike said. "Want a challenge, huh?"

"Yeah, I was gonna use Sarah, but it'd be way too easy." Lynn smirked.

"Thank God." Sarah whispered to herself.

"Well, if you guys wanna spar, then please, take it outside." Lori said.

"Fair enough," Lynn shrugged. "Come on, Mike."

"Coming." Mike smiled to Lynn as they went outside to the backyard.

Sarah went to get a glass of water, but saw that a pipe in the sink was leaking.

"I got it! I got it!" Lana said as she ran over there and took out her toolbox, making Sarah carry it. "Thanks for volunteering."

"No problem." Sarah grunted.

"So, do you play guitar?" Luna asked the young Te Xuan Ze.

"Sometimes," June replied. "I once played it in the talent show with my brothers."

"Ah, I could never get enough of my ax," Luna smiled. "I discovered my calling in the summer of 7th grade when I went to my very first Mick Swagger concert."

"I listen to Mick Swagger sometimes," June smiled back. "He's pretty cool."

"Tell me about it, dude." Luna smiled.

June smiled back.

"So, what're you gonna do, Lisa?" Dee Dee smiled to the child prodigy of the Loud house.

"I'm going to hold a video conference with my latest colleague: Professor Finola Svankmajer," Lisa replied. "We have some matters to discuss which was lost in time due to having a road trip down here while Mother and Father vacation with Aunt Angelia and Uncle Matt."

"And she kisses her mother with that mouth." Eddy said in the background.

Lisa gave Eddy a glance as she soon went in the other room to take out her laptop and Webcam since she could now get online.

"Ed, there you are," Leni smiled as she soon came by Eddy, picking him up. "You got to help me try on these new outfits I picked up from The Mall."

"But I'm not Ed, I'm Eddy." Eddy told her.

"Oh, come on, I think I know my own cousin," Leni smiled as she walked off. "Let's go, Ed!"

"Someone stop her!" Eddy cried out.

"Bye, Eddy, have fun." Ed laughed.

"ED!" Eddy cried out.

"Families..." Lisa rolled her eyes with a sigh as she went back to work.

Lily soon crawled around, looking for something to find to do.

"Hmm... What should I do for my free time?" Lucy asked herself as she blended in with the shadows. "Seems like everyone else has their own thing, but I don't."

"Well, Lucy, why don't you go out and play?" Lori suggested, walking by her goth sister. "Maybe go to the park? Who knows? Maybe you will make some new friends."

"Hmm... I suppose I could..." Lucy said as she took out her notebook for poetry as she wandered out of her cousins' house. She then looked over to see Mike and Lynn having a sparring match.

"Say, you're not too bad." Mike said to Lynn.

"Sports are a big deal to me in case you don't know." Lynn smirked.

"Baseball was always my favorite sport growing up, though I play a bit of football these days." Mike smiled.

"You play football?" Lynn asked.

"Yeah, at school, I mean." Mike said.

"Maybe you and I could go for a couple of rounds?" Lynn said.

"Sure, sometime," Mike smiled. "I play better though once I get something to eat."

"I can't go playing sports without eating." Lynn said.

"I think you and me will get along just fine." Mike smirked.

"Yeah, I think so too, Mike," Lynn smirked back. "By the way, thank you."

"For what?" Mike asked.

"For taking good care of Ed." Lynn smiled.

"Oh, no problem," Mike said. "He's one of my best friends."

"Especially with people like Kevin and Sarah being jerks to him," Lynn continued. "If only I could be there, then they would know not to mess with me."

"Is that why you mess with Sarah whenever you guys come to visit?" Mike smirked.

"You know it!" Lynn grinned.

"I knew there was a reason I felt close with ya, Lynn Loud." Mike chuckled.

"Hmm... I wish I could have a friend like that..." Lucy said to herself as she wandered down the street. The young goth girl looked around the city and found people hanging out with their friends. "Sigh..."

"We like your sense of style." A voice commented.

Lucy looked over to see Crimson, Ennui, and Loki come out of the shadows.

"Hm... Thanks..." Lucy said.

"I'm Crimson." The goth girl said.

"And I'm Ennui," The goth boy added, showing the rabbit. "And this is Loki, our pet rabbit."

"Glad to have people who understand me." Lucy said to them.

Loki came up to Lucy and looked up at her.

"Greetings," Lucy said to him. "I don't think I've seen a rabbit with a dark aura among him. You must've trained him well."

"Yes, we do what we can for him." Ennui replied.

Loki jumped into Lucy's arms as he nuzzled against her.

"He likes you." Ennui remarked.

"He's almost as affectionate and supportive as Edwin." Lucy said as she held Loki.

"The only Edwin we know is from Vampires of Melancholia." Crimson said.

"The very same," Lucy said before taking out her Edwin bust to show them. "Behold, my most prized possession."

"I think we will get along just fine." Crimson said to her.

"I also like to go to the cemetery and write depressing poetry." Lucy replied.

"We normally go there when we're depressed more than usual," Crimson said. "Most of the time we go to the coffee shop to just hang out."

"I often enjoy talking to the spirits on the other side," Lucy said. "I usually talk with my great-grandmother Harriet and Abraham Lincoln."

"I like your style," Ennui said. "It's refreshing to hear from someone who understands us."

"Thanks." Lucy replied.

It seemed like the start of a nice friendship.

"So, whilst my siblings and cousins socialize with their friends from this city, I thought we could talk," Lisa said as she had a video chat with an intelligent blonde woman. "Thankfully, I have more free time, so we can meet up whenever you should with, Professor."

"That's fine, Lisa," The blonde woman replied. "I was hoping that you could come down; I've made an amazing discovery."

"Ooh, what is it?" Lisa gushed out of excitement. "Is it a new endangered species?"

"Something like that." The blonde woman replied.

"Ooh! Tell me! Tell me!" Lisa begged.

"I'm sorry, but I don't wanna spoil the surprise," Professor Svankmajer replied. "Maybe you'd like to come over to my dig."

"Sounds nice," Lisa said. "Where are you now?"

"A special place called La Serena." Professor Svankmajer informed.

"Your dig is at a spa?" Lisa asked, raising an eyebrow. "Interesting choice..."

"Here, I'll fax you a map if you'd like to come and meet me in person." Professor Svankmajer said, printing something out for Lisa on her own printer.

"Thank you," Lisa smiled. "I will let my family unit know."

"I look forward to it." Professor Svankmajer replied.

And with that, Lisa shut off the webcam with a smile.

"Guys! Pizza is here!" Lori's voice announced.

"I'd prefer something a little more nutritious for my brain, but PIZZA!" Lisa said before cheering and running off.
