We open on the couch, but this time it's in the "One of the Boys" dimension. The characters reading are Linka, Luke, Lane, Boy Lynn, and Lexx, and they will be reading "Linka and Chocolate", a chapter of Linka And Her Brothers.
The story starts with Lane sneaking to the fridge, causing the real Luke to wonder if he's booby-trapping it, with Lynn snickering at the word "booby". Story Lane is approached by Lars and Luke, who both ask if he's lost his mind upon seeing that he is carrying chocolate bars. This puzzles the real alternate Louds, until fanfic Lars reveals that Linka is a "chocolate monster". This satisfies the real Luke, but Linka is still puzzled, since while she does love chocolate, she isn't insane about it, and Lexx loves chocolate even more than her.
Seeing as fanfic Lane wanted the chocolate to make pies for a party, Lars suggests buying the pies instead, but Lars hates buying pies, likening it to stealing jokes. He then tasks Luke and Lars to keep Linka out of the kitchen, and when she comes in and notices the pie crusts, he lies that they're coconut cream pies (which the real Lexx hates).
In the story, Luke and Lars enter the kitchen, asking her to jam and help him with a poem respectively, and the real Linka reveals that she's learning the flute. Story Linka goes to help Lars, while Lane starts making the pies, but reveals that he plans to throw them, confusing the real Lane, since he feels that if the pies are for throwing and not eating, he should just buy them. Unfortunately, fanfic Linka has already seen the chocolate and attempts to steal some.
They start arguing, which ends in Linka telling Lane to name one time she went "crazy" over chocolate. The real Lynn points out a time Ron Andy gave her Valentine's Day chocolate, but she points out that that wasn't about the chocolate, but rather because it was the first nice thing he did to her. In the story, Lane remembers a time Linka ate a lot of Lief and Lexx's chocolate bars they were meant to sell.
Story Linka then walks off and explains to the readers that she's a "chocoholic". Then, Loni asks if the suit he's making should be grey or brown. She suggests brown, then disappears (causing the real Lane to reveal that Linka only does that when Lynn wants a sparring partner, and that's because he won a tug-of-war against the rest of his gym class, including the teacher).
Later, fanfic Linka sits down to dinner with her older brothers and parents, and Lane's brothers mock him since they see baking as effeminate, while the parents are proud of Linka for not stealing the chocolate. Linka, meanwhile, is twitchy and keeps hallucinating random words said by her family as "chocolate", causing her to angrily leave. She contacts Claire and asks for help, but he can't help as he's busy trying to get Clawuster (one of his cats) to take his medicine. She looks in a box she has for such situations, but it's empty.
Fanfic Loki enters and Linka tearfully admits that she's hallucinating the word "chocolate", revealing that she's also started to see brown, chocolate-smelling spots on her skin. Loki comes up with a plan, which involves him and his brothers tying Linka up (and apparently it also involves a bucket). She starts dreaming of a Land of Chocolate and when she wakes up, she's escaped and is eating one of the chocolate pies, having eaten all the rest. Lane, however, is not mad because the gig was cancelled. Fanfic Linka goes to eat another pie, but there was laxative in it. Unfortunately, Lynn eats it, and then the story ends.
The siblings, while finding the story imperfect, had fun, and Grammy (who has the same name due to being a genderless AI) complains about the inconsistent tenses. Then, Lane teases Linka by saying he can't wait for the next "chocolate".
