"Oh man that big guy almost had me for sure!" Lynn said as her, Clyde, and Lincoln played a sci fi video game about saving the world from aliens. "Glad you had my back Clyde."

"Clincoln Mcloud leaves no man, or in your case no woman behind," Clyde replied.

"Man, I never realized how awesome you two are." Lynn said, grinning ear to ear, "We have got to do this more often."

Just then Leni came in the front door.

"Hey Leni, you find that sweater you were lookin for?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah, I uh... I also found Mandee." Leni replied.

"So, her and Jackie still trying to kill each other?" Lynn asked.

"They're not murderers." Leni replied. "They're just arguing a lot."

"It was a figure of speech, Leni." Lynn said.

"Oh," Leni replied, "Well I think I know a way to get them back together, but I'm gonna need your guys' help."

"Yeah sure, anything." Lincoln replied, pausing the game.

...

The next day Leni met up with Jackie at the mall.

"Jackie, I need to tell you something." Leni said. "About my Christmas party."

"Oh my gosh, your party is going to be so awesome." Jackie said. "Especially since Mandee's not there to ruin it, like your Halloween party."

"Actually, I uh... I invited Mandee." Leni said.

"You WHAT?" Jackie said.

"Don't be mad, you're still invited." Leni begged. "Besides, I have a gift. For both of you. Something I think will solve everything."

"Yeah right." Stacy joined the two of them. "You saw what Mandee has become. She's already fallen down the rabbit hole of freakdom. She's gone Leni, just let it go, move on."

"Mandee may look different now, but she's still Mandee, she's still our friend." Leni replied.

"Psh, she's not my friend." Stacy replied.

"Mine neither." Jackie added.

...

That night Lincoln, Lynn, and Clyde had finished their game.

"Wow that was awesome!" Lynn said as the credits rolled.

"The part at the end, when the main bad guy's head exploded, and all the aliens were sucked into a black hole!" Lincoln said with excitement. "How awesome was that?"

"Hey guys, look outside." Clyde said. "A meteor shower."

The three kids looked outside in awe at the streaks of light shooting across the sky. Lynn took a look at her brother and his friend and smiled.

...

Christmas eve and Christmas Leni and her friends had spent the day with their own families. So, it was the day after Christmas that Leni had her party.

Leni had put on her new light green Christmas sweater, with a red skirt and red and white striped stockings. She finished off her look with a Santa hat.

"Totes adorable." She said looking at herself in the mirror.

She ran into Lori as she left the room. Lori had a blue sweater with grey sweat pants.

"Oh, were we supposed to dress up for this?" Lori said, looking at Leni's outfit.

"Not if you don't want to." Leni said. "I just wanted to look cute. One of the best things about winter is the cute sweaters. But trust me Lori, you look perfect."

"So is this kind of like one of those ugly Christmas sweater things or..." Lori said. "Not that you look ugly or anything. Just the opposite actually, you look super adorable."

"Yeah I never understood the whole Ugly Christmas Sweaters contest thing. Most Christmas sweaters I see are super cute." Leni looked down at Lori's belly. It was hard to notice but she was starting to form a bulge.

"You should really talk to Mom and Dad." Leni said. "I don't want to sound rude, but your starting to show."

"I... plan to talk to them tonight." Lori said.

"Well if you need any support, I'm here for you." Leni said.

...

The siblings gathered in the living room.

Luna had on a purple sweater with an image of a music note on it, with her purple skirt and boots.

Luan had soft pink sweater with her yellow skirt.

Lynn had a red turtleneck sweater with a red skirt. Probably one of the only times they would ever see Lynn in a skirt. The skirt had a football pattern along the bottom. She also had a red Santa hat on.

Lincoln had on a red sweater with a black "Ace Savvy" logo on the front. And he was wearing jeans.

Lucy had on a black sweater with a picture of a Christmas tree with a skull on top instead of a star. She also had a black skirt.

Lana had a green hoodie and blue jeans.

Lola wore a pink sparkly sweater over her pink dress.

Lisa had her usual green sweater and pink sweatpants.

Lily just had her diaper. And that's the way she liked it.

The doorbell rang. Leni answered it.

It was Stacy in a pink cashmere sweater, and white skirt. She had some scuff marks on her face and was brushing dirt off her clothing. She looked as though she had been in a small tussle.

"Stacy, what happened? Are you ok?" Leni asked.

"Nothing! I just fell off my bike in the woods on the way here." Stacy said defensively. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Ok well, merry Christmas." Leni smiled. "Come on in."

Gee I hope she's not having troubles at home. Leni thought, Maybe that's why she's so judgmental.

Soon more guests came.

Jackie had a white sweater with a pink skirt.

Mandee had a black sweater with a red skirt.

Maggie had on her usual outfit, she had on a purple sweater, which she took off upon entering the Loud house and wrapped it around her waist. She had a blue t-shirt over a white long sleeve shirt, and a black skirt.

After them came Miguel and Fiona. Then Luna's girlfriend Sam. She had her usual denim jacket, but under her jacket she had a red t-shirt with a Christmas tree.

Then the younger kids showed up. Luan's boyfriend Benny, followed by Lincoln's friends, Clyde, Liam, Rusty, Zach, and Stella.

Lynn's friend Margo was next to show up.

The last ones to show where Bobby and Ronnie Anne.

...

"'Sup Lame-o" Ronnie Anne greeted Lincoln.

"Oh, hey Ronnie Anne, Nice to see you again." Lincoln replied.

"Hey Clyde! You made it!" Lynn smiled.

"Oh, hey Lynn. You're looking quite lovely today." Clyde replied.

"Oh, thanks," Lynn blushed. "I figured I'd try to look nice for today, you know... hehe."

"Lovin' the Santa hat." Clyde added.

"Hay babe." Bobby said to Lori. "How you feeling?"

"Fine." Lori said. "Aside from the morning sickness and cravings. I haven't told my folks yet, I was hoping we could tell them tonight, together."

...

"What the heck are you doing here?!?!" Mandee said when she noticed Jackie. "Leni, you told me she wasn't invited!"

"Sorry!" Leni said. "But I had to get you both to come! I... I have something for both of you."

...

"YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!" Rita yelled.

Lori and Bobby had brought Mr. and Mrs. Loud into the kitchen to talk with them privately.

"We made a mistake," Lori pleaded. "I know that now. But I'm willing to take responsibility for my actions and raise this child."

"Me too." Bobby added.

"look, we don't like that you got pregnant when your still so young." Rita explained. "But your still our daughter, and we'll help however we can."

"No matter what, you'll always be our little girl." Lynn Sr. added. "We'll be here for you, whenever you need us."

"Wow, that was a lot easier than I thought." Bobby said.

...

"Looks like another fight's gonna break out." Ronnie Anne whispered to Lincoln as the tension rose between Leni and her friends.

"Yeah, this should be good." Maggie added.

"This isn't fair." Lincoln said. "Someone needs to do something."

"Look whatever it is you got us, take it back, we don't want it." Jackie said.

"Yeah, I don't think some new sweater, or dress or something is going to fix what's going on here." Mandee added. "Not even a gift card to Reininger's. I'm leaving."

"WAIT!" Lincoln cut Mandee off before she reached the door.

"Lincoln you're a nice kid," Mandee said. "But this doesn't concern you, it's best if you stay out of it."

"NO!" Lincoln put his foot down. "Leni put a lot of hard work into this party and it really means a lot to her. The whole reason she even did this is so you and Jackie would get back together. And that gift, isn't something she got at some store. All of my siblings and I worked on it, and it's really special."

"Ok fine," Mandee sighed. "I'll see what she's got. But I'm not doing this for Leni, and I'm certainly not doing this for Jackie. I'm doing this for you Lincoln, because you're such a sweet kid."

Mandee gave Lincoln a pat on the head and turned back to Leni. "Ok Leni, let's see what you got." Leni handed Mandee the gift. She opened it.

It was a scrap book with pictures of the three of them together, Jackie, Mandee, and Leni.

"We've been friends since grade school." Leni said. "Do you really want to throw all that away because of some dumb Halloween costumes?"

Tears formed in the eyes of Jackie and Mandee and gave each other a big hug.

"I'm sorry." Jackie said.

"I'm sorry too." Mandee replied.

"Oh Maggie, I got something for you too." Leni handed Maggie a gift.

Maggie opened it to see a book that she had been eying for some time now.

"I see you looking at that book every time I pass the book store." Leni said. "I also gave you a notebook, I figured you'd be the kind of person to keep a diary."

Maggie found the notebook that was under the book Leni gave her.

"Wow Leni..." Maggie said. "Thanks, I... I guess I was wrong about you, you really are a good person after all."

"And I got something for you too Stacy." Leni handed Stacy a gift.

She opened it.

"Wow, a gift card to Reininger's. That's, that's actually really nice of you." Stacy said.

"I see you shopping there all the time when I'm at work." Leni said.

Stacy held her chest and made a face.

"You ok Stacy?" Leni asked.

"Yeah, just had a weird feeling in my chest, but I'm fine." Stacy replied.

"Maybe your heart's growing to the correct size." Maggie joked.

Lynn turned to Clyde. "Hey Clyde, can I talk to you about something?"

"Uh sure..." Clyde said.

"Well..." Lynn said. "After we started hanging out a while ago, I realized you're a pretty cool guy. And kind of cute too. I... I think I kind of, I think I kind of like you."

"You like me?" Clyde said.

"Like, like-like you." Lynn blushed. "I hope I'm not being to forward but, would you like to go on a date with me?"

"Sure." Clyde smiled.

"THAN YOU! THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Lynn said squeezing Clyde tightly. Then she planted a kiss on his lips.

"Woah." Clyde said.

"Well buddy." Lincoln said. "You may not have ended up with Lori, but at least you get to date one my sisters."

Stacy started to cough violently.

"Stacy! Are you ok?" Leni said

Stacy tightly clutched her chest. "MY CHEST!"

"Oh no!" Lori said. "I think she's literally having a heart attack."

"Someone call an ambulance!" Miguel shouted.

Stacy fell to her knees and started to cough up blood. Stacy arched her back and started to scream.

A cracking sound could be heard. Some blood shot from the middle of her chest, then...

SLSHHHGGHHHH!!!!!

Stacy's chest EXPLODED. A small creature pushed it's way out of her chest. The creature looked like some sort of worm and had a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. It was about the size of a human arm.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" the crowd screamed.

Stacy fell to the ground dead. Maggie stood just in front of Stacy's corps with her jaw dropped open.

"What?" Maggie said, "This can't be real, this has got to be some sort of prank. What is that thing? Some kind of puppet? Come on Stay, you're not really dead are you?"

Then the creature lunged from Stacy's body at Maggie. The creature hit her in the face and started to climb into her mouth. Maggie screamed a muffled scream and tried to get a grip on the creature to pull it out.

The monster was slippery, covered in slime and blood. It was also really strong. Within moments the entire creature slithered down Maggie's throat.

Maggie stood there for a few moments. Her whole body was shaking from the adrenaline and fear, her eyes wide open.

The crowd was speechless, they couldn't even comprehend what had just happened.

Maggie looked down. She could feel the thing moving inside her stomach. She lifted her shirt up to see the creature moving around just under her skin. Then she felt a sharp pain as the creature started to bite and eat her flesh from the inside.

"GGGAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" She fell to her knees and started to scream. The bulge in her stomach was moving around more and more rapidly.

Blood oozed from Maggie's mouth as she wailed in pain. Then her stomach burst open as the creature pushed its way out of her.

Maggie fell to the ground in a heap. The creature scurried off into a nearby vent.

Maggie took a few more panicked breaths then stopped breathing all together. She was dead.

Leni fell to her knees, a look of shock on her face which now had splatters of blood on it. She let out a horrified scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Yeah the thing I said about this being a cute little short story. A cute little Christmas story that would only be 3 chapters long. I lied. And yes that was the Alien from Alien just before.

Now here is a visual representation of anyone who has read up to this point.
