The Loud House: Inflat-a-Leni

One day, Leni Loud was looking around to see what she could wear.
"No. Not that one. That's totes out of season," she said. She picked out another one. "It's too soon to go to the beach. And I'm not going to a farm or anything."
She just didn't know what to wear.
"I wore all these outfits and I just can't decide on what to wear? I guess what I have on now will have to do," she figured.

Meanwhile, in Lisa's room, she had just put the finishing touches on a new invention.
"There we go. My latest invention is now complete. With that, anyone will be able to fly across with ease and feel as light as a feather," she said as she placed it right to the side of her bed.
Her little sister Lily was looking at it.
"Don't think it's a new blanket, Lily. It is not even your size," said Lisa.
As soon as Lisa left, Leni walked right by and saw the new invention that Lisa had worked on.
"Hey, what's this?" she asked.
She looked at it and saw it was some kind of suit.
"Ooh! This looks chic! And it brings out my eyes," she commented. "I'm sure Lisa won't mind if I borrow it."
She looked around to see if Lisa was listening in on her. Thankfully for her, she wasn't. She zipped over to her room and tried on the outfit.
"It's a little loose," she figured.
She tried adjusting to it, but she tripped on the loose sagging of the suit and tripped over.
"I don't think I like this outfit. I gotta talk to Lisa," she said.
She then went downstairs and slipped on the sagging and fell down the stairs.
"Owie..." she moaned.

Lisa was eating a crustless PB&J with her daily vitamin.
"Lisa, this outfit you made is so wrong," said Leni.
"What outfit?" Lisa asked. She turned and saw what Leni was wearing and spat out parts of her sandwich.
"Leni! What are you doing with my Air-1 Delta Zephyr Suit?" Lisa asked.
"Is that what it's called? I don't know if that fits the name, but I think you might have hit a few snags on the design," said Leni.
"Leni...take it off before you notice the dial on the neck area and-"
"There's a dial?"
"I shouldn't have said that."
Leni turned the dial and it was starting to make the suit less saggy.
"Hey! It worked!" she cheered.
But then, it started to round out and make her blow up like a giant ball and lift her off the floor.
"Hey! What's happening?" she gasped.
"Now you've gone and done it," said Lisa.

Leni was rounding out and only her hands, feet, and head were sticking out.
"Lisa! Help! I look like a giant beach ball!" Leni panicked.
"Relax, Leni. You'll be perfectly safe as long as you don't go outside and float off into the ionosphere. I still haven't worked out the control bugs on this one, so you're gonna be drifting around until I figure out a way to get you down," Lisa explained.
"Well, think of something! I don't wanna float away!" said Leni.
"I'm afraid you have no options. At least you won't float out of the house," said Lisa.

Leni was bouncing across the living room where she knocked over a couple of things.
"LYNN JR.! ARE YOU BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS AGAIN?!" their dad shouted.
"And they thought I was clumsy. Dad can't even get my name right," said Leni.
She then floated about and nearly crashed into Lori.
"What the what?" Lori asked.
"Hi, Lori," said Leni.
"Leni? What happened to you? You literally look fat," said Lori.
"I'M NOT FAT!" Leni responded. "I'm just stuck in Lisa's new outfit," said Leni.
"Technically, it's not an outfit. It's more of a scientific uniform meant for aerial travel," said Lisa.
"I should have known you had some mad minded experiment in mind," said Lori.
"Allow me to explain," said Lisa.

She explained everything to the rest of her siblings.
"So, you see, dear sisters and brother, we must ground Leni before she levitates out one of the windows," said Lisa.
"How are we gonna do that?" Luna asked.
"Think of something, anything, to get her down before we lose her to the zephyr forces," said Lisa.
"Oh, I know just how to get her down," said Lynn.

Lynn was running around with her parkour, really bouncing off the walls like her dad thought earlier and lunged at Leni.
"I gotcha, Leni!" she said.
She came down with a body slam move she would use in wrestling only for the rounded suit to squeeze a bit and launch her out like a pinball.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" Leni cried.
She then bounced right into and crushed Lincoln.
"Ow," said Lincoln.
"Sorry, Lincoln," Leni apologized.
"Well, so much for my plan," said Lynn.

Now it was Luna's turn. She had her drums set up like a stairway.
"I'll just climb up my drums and bring her down with a grab of her foot," said Luna.
"I could use some help here," said Leni.
"Help is on the way, Len," said Luna.
She grabbed a hold of Leni's foot, but couldn't quite pull hard enough. Instead, Luna was lifted off the floor and floating around with Leni. They were right over the first floor and Luna lost her grip.
"Now I'm free falling," said Luna.
She fell right onto the floor.
"Worst stage dive ever," she groaned.

Lana had an idea.
"I'll just get her down with the use of this," said Lana.
She busted out her lasso and wrapped it around Leni.
"Yee-haw! Now to reel her in!" said Lana.
She pulled as hard as she could, but all that did was pick her up off the floor and make her flail about the house as Leni floated away. The rope came loose and she lost her grip and fell right into the sofa.
"Hey! I found some perfectly good gum in here!" she said.

Luan was next.
"Okay, Leni, I'm ready to go out to launch!" Luan punned and laughed as she got a spring ready to launch her up to Leni. She sprung up there and grabbed a hold of Leni and landed her on the ground while making some kind of whoopee cushion sound. But Luan just bounced off the buoyant beauty suit and flung into the ceiling.
"I really hit the ceiling there," Luan commented.

Lola had her car and a ramp ready.
"I'll just ride right into her and run her over," said Lola.
"You sure you won't damage the outfit or her face in the process?" Lisa asked.
"Can't promise," said Lola.
She put on her helmet, got in, and launched off the ramp right at Leni. Of course, like the other plans, it backfired, because she just bumped Leni around again. She also bounced right into Lincoln again.
"This is gonna be a running gag, isn't it?" Lincoln figured.
"I knew I should have gotten the turbo," Lola sighed.

Next was Lucy.
"I summon the demons of the underworld to come and ground our sister from the skies of peril," said Lucy.
However, not a single demon was merging.
"They must be on break," she sighed.
"You didn't even try with this one," said Lincoln.
"What do you expect me to do?" Lucy asked.
"Never mind. I'll handle this," said Lincoln.

He got the ladder and climbed up to get Leni.
"Okay, Leni, your brother's here. I'll get you down," said Lincoln.
"Thanks, Linky. Get me down please," said Leni.
"That's just what I'm gonna do," said Lincoln.
He grabbed a hold of her and tried to carry her down, but he slipped on a broken ladder step and fell with Leni squishing him with an inflated belly flop.
"Running gag, indeed," said Lincoln.
"Nice try, Lincoln!" Leni called out.

Lori went with the most obvious solution they could have thought of.
"I don't know why we didn't go with this in the first place. It's literally obvious we just call the fire department to get her down," she said.
She dialed up the fire department.
"What's the emergency?" the fire chief asked.
"One of my sisters is wearing another sister's inflatable suit and bouncing around the house. We need you to get her down," said Lori.
"Inflatable suit? You're kidding right?" the fire chief asked.
"No, I'm not," Lori answered.
"Hey, Clancy! This kid wants us to save someone in an inflatable suit!" the chief called out to one of his men.
Clancy laughed and said,
"Where'd they get that emergency? Some kind of fetish thing?"
He and the chief laughed.
"Look, kid, we handle actual emergencies, not fantasy ones. Bye," said the chief.
The chief hung up.
"Jerk," said Lori.

Lisa had to think of something to get Leni down.
"We're running out of ideas. Let's see. Which of these could work?" Lisa asked.
She looked at the ideas she had. Most of them seemed to be chemicals that would explode and inventions that were not up to snuff or complete. There was also the matter of some tentacled thing she locked up.
"Definitely not that one," she said.
But then, she figured,
"But maybe it's strong enough."

She got the cage down and the tentacled creature from inside launched its arm around Leni's suit.
"Ew! Gross! Slimy! Monster!" Leni panicked.
"It's okay, Leni. It's just gonna get you down," said Lisa.
The monster was pulling in hard.
"I think we've got her now," said Lisa.
Just then, Rita came walking by getting ready to go power walking and stepped right on the monster's tentacle, making it yelp in pain and let Leni go. More pinballing came about, but Lincoln got out of Leni's way.
"Not this time," he said.
But she ended up landing on top of him instead before floating off again.
"Never mind," Lincoln groaned.

Leni had started to get used to it at that point.
"I wasn't even hurt once. Dizzied, but not hurt," she said. "This suit is totes safe. It makes me look fat, but hey, safety and fashion rolled into one," she said.
She saw the bird Walt float right by.
"Hey, Walt! I can fly just like you now!" she said.
Walt looked confused at that. He remembered when he puffed up instead of Leni when he saw her in her rounded state.

The others had run out of ideas to get Leni down.
"Well, we tried everything and nothing seemed to work," said Lori.
"Not all of us tried," Lola said referring to Lucy.
"They were on break, okay?" Lucy reminded her.
They noticed that they were one sib short.
"Has anyone seen Lily?" Luna asked.

Lily was toddling about and saw Leni's suit low to the ground.
"Hi, Lily," said Leni.
Lily then turned the dial the wrong way to the max inflation setting.
"What are you doing?" Leni asked.
This caused Leni to start inflating out of control while Lily crawled back upstairs.
"There you are, Lil Lil," said Luan.
"HELP!" Leni cried.
The others ran to Leni and saw the suit inflating out of control.
"Lily, did you set it to the overdrive setting?" Lisa asked.
Lily giggled. The suit was filling up most of the living room and then made a big BOOM! sound. Leni landed right on the couch and the suit was in shreds.
"So much for my Air-1 Delta Zephyr Suit. Back to the drawing board," said Lisa.
"I'm sorry I took your suit and blew up into a balloon without asking, Lisa," Leni apologized. "Now it's broken and it's all because of me."
"Well, it was just a prototype, so it did make me figure out how to iron out the bugs," said Lisa.
"So, you're not mad?" Leni asked.
"I'm upset, but not mad."
"That'll do."
Leni was at least happy to be back on the ground.
"At least that's over," said Lincoln.

They were all going back to their rooms when Leni noticed something in Lisa's room. There was a pair of nice looking boots.
"Ooh! Look at this boots! They really go with my hair," she said.
She put them on and it started to make her get attracted to the ceiling. Now she was upside-down.
"Lisa! Your new shoes have turned the whole house upside down!" said Leni.
"Leni! Are those my polarity reversal boots?" Lisa asked.
"Here we go again," said Lori.
Inside Lucy and Lynn's room, a demon came out.
"Sorry I'm late. I was out at lunch. Did I miss anything?" he asked.
"Better late than never," said Lucy.
Leni got out of one fashion fiasco and was now ready for another.
"Can someone get me down from here? My head is getting so much blood in it now," she said.
"Note to self: never make inventions out fashion designs ever again," said Lisa.
