This choice: Vanzilla drives off the shelf and lands in her lemonade. • Go Back...Chapter #12Lemonade with a Touch of Louds. by: G-Breaker   Once Stella returned to her room with a glass of lemonade in hand, the six ant-sized Louds on her hanging shelves watched as the towering brunette approached her desk with a sullen look on her face. Standing in front of her desk with her large shadow eclipsing the shrunken Loud siblings, Stella looked so much taller and more imposing to them, they couldn't even see her whole face from the shelf.
Stella let out a sigh before sitting at her desk and setting her gaze toward the shelf in front of her. Seeing her looking in their general direction signaled to Lincoln that now was their best chance to get her attention.
"Girls, now's our chance!" Lincoln exclaimed. "HEY STELLA! STELLA, WE'RE RIGHT HERE!" He shouted while waving his arms in hopes of getting his potential girlfriend's attention, his sisters quickly following his lead.
"STELLA!" Lana shouted.
"LOOK OVER HERE, STELLA! HELP US!" Lola shouted.
"HELP, STELLA! WE ARE LOCATED ON YOUR SHELF!" Lisa cried.
"STELLA! STELLA!" Lucy wasn't the loudest one of them, but she did the best she could, as did Lily, who was screaming sitting on top of Lincoln's shoulders.
The shrunken Louds kept screaming as much as they could, but unfortunately, their voices were just too small to reach the gigantic teen's ears. Their fruitless cries for help eventually stopped once they ran out of breath, completely unsuccessful in getting Stella to notice them.
"Ugh, it's no use, you guys." Lana said between pants. "She can't hear us. Our voices are too small."
They were just about ready to give up until Lincoln noticed Stella moving her hand. "Hold on. I think it's working!" Lincoln said.
They all looked at Stella as she lifted her left hand up, thinking she caught sight of them. "I... don't think so, Lincoln." Lisa said anxiously.
As it turned out, Stella didn't notice them at all. Their hope vanished as they gasped upon seeing her raise her hand toward them.
"Everyone back in the car!" Lincoln ordered, prompting him and all of his sisters to retreat back into Vanzilla. They were all inside the van when Stella's hand grabbed hold of a book right behind them.
"It's hopeless!" Lola panicked. "How are we going to get her attention if she can't even spot us right in front of her?!"
"At least we're still in a good position to be seen. She'll find us eventually." Lisa countered.
"Um, guys..." Lana gestured nervously. "I think we've got bigger problems."
They all looked at the book Stella grabbed, gasping as she pulled it off of her shelf and dragged it right toward them. "I hate this day." Lola muttered bitterly.
Stella pulled the book out so fast that Lincoln couldn't drive out of the way in time. The book pushed the minuscule van towards the edge of the shelf, prompting everyone to hold each other tightly as Vanzilla was pushed off of the shelf and fell from a dizzying height.
Lincoln and his sisters screamed and cried for their lives as their van fell from its perch. "HANG ON, GUYS!" Lincoln screamed, holding Lily tightly in his arms while the other four huddled together at once.
Stella then opened the book and started reading it, completely unaware that she just knocked the Louds off of a proverbial cliff. The tiny Louds thought they were going to fall to their doom until the van splashed into a pool of yellow liquid. Luckily, the van suffered no serious damage from the landing.
The van was submerged in a vast yellow ocean before floating to the surface. That was when Lincoln saw the glass ring surrounding them and gulped nervously realizing where they landed.
"Whew. That was too close." Lana sighed as everyone released each other from the hug.
"At least we're finally out of hot water now." Lana said.
"Hot water?" Lincoln said before screaming in a panic. "More like cold lemonade!"
Looking past the glass wall, the girls all gasped once they realized they were floating in Stella's lemonade. Seeing Stella's massive form looming beyond the cup, the Loud siblings grew even more scared once they saw her reach for it.
"OH NO!" All five sisters cried simultaneously as Stella's hand grabbed the cup and gently lifted it off her desk.
The six shrunken Louds erupted into a panic as the lemonade rippled in the glass from Stella's hand motion, hitting them with a microscopic tidal wave as she slowly brought the cup right below her head. Lily held Lincoln even tighter as everyone screamed and cried from seeing Stella's massive face looming over the cup.
"It's okay, guys! Odds are maybe she's going to save us!" Lana sputtered in a vain coping attempt.
"No she's not, Lana!" Lola yelled! "She's going to drink us!"
"Well, maybe I can see Lincoln some other time. I'm sure wherever he is, he and his sisters are out having fun." Stella said, adding insult to injury for the Louds as her booming voice cut through their hearts.
Stella closed her eyes and lifted the cup closer to her mouth. Lincoln and his sisters couldn't bring themselves to look away as she tilted the cup and put them face-to-face with her smiling lips.
"STELLAAAAA! NOOOOO!" Lincoln screamed at the top of his lungs.
"DOOOOOON'T DRINK US!" Lana yelled as Stella brought the cup closer and closer to her cavernous maw.
Everyone in Vanzilla screamed even louder once Stella's lips parted, revealing the enormous cave behind them that was waiting to swallow them. Stella's mouth opened even wider the closer they came, giving them a close-up view of her gigantic white teeth, along with the giant red snake that was her tongue. But the worst part of it was the uvula dangling from the back of her mouth, pointing straight down to the deep, dark abyss that led to Stella's throat.
"EVERYONE BUCKLE UP AND HANG ON TIGHT!" Lincoln shouted. His sisters complied as they all strapped themselves tightly into their seats and held each other like their lives depended on it, which in this case, they did. "BRACE YOURSELVES, GIRLS! THIS IS GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE!"
At that moment, the rim of the glass reached Stella's lips. She then tilted it higher and allowed the lemonade to flow into her mouth like a raging waterfall.
"HERE WE GO!" Lisa yelled.
In no time at all, the six shrunken Loud siblings were sent on their way as the current of the rushing lemonade pulled Vanzilla straight toward Stella's gigantic orifice. They all screamed at the top of their lungs as the van was poured past her lips and over her colossal teeth. It was practically the biggest and most terrifying waterslide they've ever been on, except, they didn't enjoy it one bit. They were dragged across Stella's massive tongue until they neared their final exit.
"Here it comes, girls! Get ready for the big drop!" Lincoln shouted.
Just ahead of them was the entrance into the dark abyss at the back of Stella's mouth. Just one look at that big hole, and all five sisters had reached their breaking point with tears of terror leaking from their eyes. Lily held Lincoln even tighter as they prepared for the big drop. And before they knew it...
*GULP!*
That horrible liquidy sound was the last thing Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily heard before they fell into a deep vertical drop down the long, fleshy tunnel that was Stella's esophagus. Stella continued drinking from the cup, not even feeling the tiny van forming a lump in her neck as it ran down her throat. Vanzilla fell through the fleshy tube for what felt like forever amidst the rushing tide of lemonade. Soon enough, the exit appeared below them as a large sphincter opened at the bottom of the tunnel to welcome its new arrivals.
The Louds' journey came to an unpleasant end once the van landed with a splash in the middle of another ocean of bubbling green acid. It only took a few seconds for everyone to recover from the fall as they opened their eyes and found out where they were.
"Oh. My. GOSH!" Lola screamed. "Please tell me we're not where I think we are!"
"I'm afraid so, Lola." Lisa said, much to everyone's dismay.
"We're inside Stella's stomach!" Lincoln exclaimed. "I can't believe it. She really did it. She drank us!"
"I'm scared, Linky!" Lily shrieked as she cried into Lincoln's chest. "I want to go home!"
Lincoln tried desperately to comfort his youngest sister by patting her back like there was no tomorrow. "Don't worry, Lily. We'll make it through this, I promise."
"What do we do, Lincoln?! I don't want to be digested!" Lana cried.
"Me neither!" Lucy added. "And look! Those stomach acids are eating through the van!"
"We're doomed! We're going digested alive by Lincoln's girlfriend!" Lola panicked, as did the other sisters, except surprisingly, for Lisa.
"Fear not, siblings!" Lisa announced, raising her finger. "I anticipated that something like this might happen if one of us ends up reduced to a minuscule stature. I have prepared just the thing!"
That being said, the Loud family genius opened a secret hatch on the floor and stepped on a red button that seemed to make something happen to the van.
"What's going on?!" Lola yelled.
To their surprise, the Loud family minivan underwent a mechanical transformation. It instantly changed from a van into a fully-equiped submarine that was completely impervious to the boiling stomach bile.
"Wow. What did you do, Lisa?" Lincoln asked.
"I figured we might get eaten as a result of shrinkage, so I outfitted Vanzilla with a little upgrade." She answered. "Now we should be safe from here on out as long as we stay in 'Subzilla'!"
"Thank goodness." Lola sighed in relief.
"We're gonna make it after all." Lana said. "What now, Lincoln?"
"We need to find a way out of here. Everyone, get ready because it looks like Stella is about to give us one heck of a tour."
With Lincoln at the wheel of their new ship, the Louds began their journey through the body of Stella Zhau. All they had to do now was find a way out that might lead to them getting Stella's attention.
