->''See? Fashion'' can ''be fun!''
-->-- '''Leni Loud'''

'''''[[https://www.deviantart.com/mrtyedye/art/Fanfic-Mall-Rats-Chapter-1-713513198 Mall Rats]]''''' (also available [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12320880/1/Mall-Rats here]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13989876/chapters/32212041 here]]) is a fanfiction of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' by the author of ''Fanfic/PeekingThroughTheFourthWall'' and ''Fanfic/IrrationalFear''.

It is about Lincoln having to spend a few hours at the mall with Leni. At first he is reluctant because he finds the mall boring, but then he learns to enjoy the mall and actually learns a few things from Leni despite her low intelligence.

The fanfic also has a subplot of Lincoln trying to avoid his bullies and Leni eventually giving them their comeuppance.
