11:27 Am

The loud crack of thunder has roared its way into the town of Royal Woods, Michigan to introduce a gloomy and depressing rainy day. As the rain begins to fall, the once sunny skies of a once beautiful Saturday morning quickly morphs into a blue gloomy morning for the towns residents. The rain drops begin to fall soaking anyone unlucky enough to be caught outside without a raincoat or umbrella. Luckily enough the remaining residents of 1216 Franklin Avenue had decided to spend the gloomy morning indoors rather than outside.

Inside a small linen closet on the second floor of the home awakens a young man with a unique set of white hair. The alarm clock sends a loud message to awaken the sleeping occupant. He raises his arm and shuts off the alarm completely before going back to sleep for a good 15 minutes. A set of rough knocks on the door is soon heard.

*Knock*

*Knock*

*Knock*

A voice spoke up "Lincoln? Sweetie your father has breakfast ready."

Lincoln opens his eyes revealing two pairs of brown eyes. He heard his mother wake him up for breakfast.

"Alright mom... i'll uh...be downstairs...in a bit" he said with a hint of drowsiness.

"Don't make me come up here again Lincoln, this is the third time you keep sleeping in late. Be downstairs in five minutes young man or else i will come up and splash you with cold water." his mother said with slight irritation in her voice.

"I get it mom.. I'm going to take... a shower first...i'll be down afterwards."

With that his mother takes her leave making sure to check in on Lincoln again in case he falls asleep once again.

Lincoln finally wakes up completely. His sits up and stretches his arms out while letting out a loud yawn. He licks his lips for a second before finally getting up to grab a set of fresh clothes. He grabs a pair of socks, boxers, an orange plain tee and a pair of blue jeans. He makes his way out of his room and into the second floor corridor.

The entire hallway was quiet which had been the case lately since most of the family had either moved on out of the house, gone to college or were somewhere else in the morning. As he walks down towards the bathroom door he begins to look around the hall remembering how chaotic it used to be. Seeing and knowing that the "Loud" house wasn't so loud anymore kind of made him sad in a way because his family really lived up to the name. Giving a brief sigh he enters the bathroom and closes the door behind him.

Upon entering he sets his clothes down and begins to strip off his current clothes before turning on the shower. When he turns the knob the water began to run down and set itself up like it usually does. He soon steps in and gives himself in to the warm shower. He begins his shower by washing his hair and soon afterwards he washes his body before finally finishing. He steps off the shower, grabs his towel and begins to dry himself off. He steps up to the mirror and takes a look at himself.

Lincoln Loud, no longer the 11 year old kid he used to be. He is now 24 years old. Time had really done a number of changes to him, like for instance his face is much slimmer than it used to be. His body was more average and fit than he used to be 13 years ago. His voice is a lot deeper and more masculine, he's also grown taller over the years. He's reached his father's height, beating his by a few centimeters. He's also grown facial hair for the past couple of years. He takes a quick look at how much it's grown before deciding to shave it off to let it grow again.

He takes the bottle of shaving cream and grabs a razor from the cabinet and soon proceeded to shave. This takes him about 6 minutes to complete, giving him enough time to go downstairs before his breakfast gets cold. With his hair and body washed and face shaved. He puts on his set of chosen clothes and leaves the bathroom.

Opening the door he soon spots his youngest sister waiting outside the bathroom to use it. He smiles upon seeing her cheery face. "Morning Lily."

"Morning Lincy!" she says with excitement before jumping on her brother giving him a cheerful hug. When she lets go she looks at him in the eye "You slept in again huh?"

"Heh yeah, for like the third time in a row. I'm just having trouble sleeping as of lately."

"Nightmares?"

"In a way you can say that, but I've just been thinking a lot lately."

"Is it because you're not working anymore?"

"...Well not exactly. That's not what's on my mind lately...just don't worry about it Lily, i'll figure something out."

"Just like always right?"

"Just like always" He says with a reassuring smiling. He gently brushes her long blonde hair which had past her shoulder length.

Lily Loud was now 14 years old. With Long blonde hair kept straight and reaching a few inches below Lincoln's height, she isn't the infant she used to be before. Now she is a creative beautiful young girl with a passion for art. She is capable of molding a replica of the Eiffel Tower with just a few blocks of clay. She can draw a scenery of nature just by thinking of it. Throughout her childhood she looked up to Lincoln as her hero. She always saw him as a symbol of hope whenever things get bad. She knew he would be there to save the day and make things great again. Ever since then she always saw her older brother as the only hero she needs.

"Well i'm gonna have breakfast now, don't want to keep it any colder than it already is."

"I had breakfast almost 2 hours ago you lazy sleeper! That's how you know you're lazy Linky!" She said while laughing.

"Well excuse me miss I-Wake-Up-Early-In-The-Morning, I prefer to sleep more so that i sleep less during the day." Chuckled Lincoln.

"Meanie hehe well enjoy breakfast Linky." she gave him a comforting hug before going off to her room. Lincoln smiled at the sight of seeing her growing up. He really missed seeing her as a growing toddler. He soon brings back his focus to breakfast downstairs knowing that it has been almost 15 minutes since it was served.

Upon arriving downstairs he notices his mother on the phone with someone while his father was in the dining room sitting down at the table overlooking a few sheets of paper. He immediately recognizes them to be bills that he's been seeing a lot lately. He can see his father looking at the bills with depression in his eyes. Lincoln felt bad because so far it's been a week since he's been out of a job. He worked over at Gus' Games and Grub as a manager after the many years of working there, but a year after he got the position his boss had sold the property due to the lease being too high. That's a problem that most of Royal Woods have been experiencing. He was now out of a job and has no way of making an income thus he isn't able to help his parents with the bills. As of now they're a few months late on the rent, the power bill is reaching it's end and the rest of the bills are reaching their "final Notice". His father looks at all the bills and tries to drown out his sorrows with a bottle of whiskey whenever he stresses too much.

Lincoln reaches the kitchen and sees his breakfast is surprisingly still warm. His dad had made eggs with bacon on the side. The bacon was still chewy rather than crunchy. He still gives his dad credit for being a great cook. He sits down and eats his breakfast while having the bills on his current mindset. He soon finds it harder to finish breakfast with the knowledge of exceeding bills and final notices haunting his parents.

He overhears his mother talk on the phone and soon starts to notice that she's talking to one of his sisters.

"Yes sweetie... oh of course!...No everything's fine sweetheart...Yes Lynn said she's coming by for her break...Well take your time sweetie no need to rush over here...We'll be here when you come by...Well that's fine, we'll be waiting sweetie. You take care now...I love you too sweetheart...goodbye." She hangs up and makes her way to the kitchen to mark down a date on the calendar.

Lincoln soon speaks up "Who was that mom?"

She turned to Lincoln with a smile on her face "It was Luan Sweetie, she's coming back to live with us until she can make it on her own. She's coming by Monday morning. Lynn is also coming by to visit us for her break off of her semester. I'm just happy that my babies are coming back. First Lucy, then Lynn and now Luan."

Lincoln was surprised by the news. Although he was happy knowing his sisters were coming back he still felt very distant from them. He felt distant to Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn and Lucy. As for his sister Luna, he hasn't heard from her in 13 years. Luna had run away from home after a huge fight with her parents. She simply got up in the middle of the night and left without even saying goodbye. Ever since then she hasn't returned home. His parents filed a police report after finding out she had run away but to no avail. She was no longer seen in Royal Woods.

Lincoln felt very heartbroken when Luna left, he felt like a big piece of his heart was ripped straight out. In one side he felt extreme sadness over knowing his sister may still be out there alone while the other side is filled with complete rage. He felt very angry at Luna for doing what she did. She left behind a family who have cared for her entire life. She left behind two older sisters who cared for her when she was young as well as 7 younger sisters and her only brother whom she really loved a lot. No one knows till this day where she had run off too. Her friends from high school were no longer seen in Royal Woods either.

"I'm just glad they're coming back, i really missed them a lot." said Lincoln with a tint of sadness in his voice.

His mother realized the tone he left off and soon gave him a comforting hug from behind. "We all did Sweetie. We missed them a whole lot, just like how we miss your sister Luna."

"Mom...please don't...I don't want to hear any mention of Her. She's gone and she's never coming back..."

"We can only hope Lincoln...I just want my baby to be alright."

After what seemed like forever his mother released away from her hug and went off to her and Lynn's bedroom. His father remained at the dining room overlooking the bills. He looked at one bill after another before finally getting up and heading into the bedroom as well. Lincoln finished his breakfast and brought the plate over to wash it. After washing the rest of the plates he took a curious glance over at the dining room table. He knew that by looking at them he would grow more anxious and depressed. His family's current state was terrible and just by looking at the source he would fall back into stress. He decided to walk over to the table and proceeded to view the bills.

Rent for the month of April - $2,500

Accumulated Rent bills over the course of 4 months - $10,000

Total amount due - $12,500

- Mr. Loud, you have received your final notice of this letter. If you do not pay the amount due by the end of this month we will evict you from your home. Please acquire the total amount due to avoid eviction.

Con Edison Bill for the month of April- $780

Accumulated bills over the course of 4 months - $3,120

Total amount due - $3,900

- Mr. Loud, you have received your final turn off notice. If you do not pay the total amount due by the end of the month we will shut off your power within your home. Please acquire the total amount due by the end of the month.

Water Bill for the month of April - $350

Accumulated bills over the course of 4 months - $1,400

Total amount due - $1,750

- Mr. Loud, this is your final notice of your water bill. Avoiding the payment above will result your home in losing your water source. To avoid such action taken we recommend you pay the total amount due by the end of the month.,

Lincoln flinched at the sight of the total amount due for each bill. He did the math and summed up a total of $18,150. He knew that was a lot of money. Money they didn't even have. How were they supposed to get that kind of money? His parents barely make enough to make ends meet at this rate. Ever since rents and utility bills have been raised, people all over Royal Woods have been suffering a dilemma all around. His parents haven't taking it easy, his dad now tries to forget all the stress by spending most of his pay on Whiskey. His mother on the other hand is trying to save enough to at least pay some of the bills in time. Since he is currently out of a job he hasn't been able to help pay the bills. The only ones in the family who still have a job are his parents and his sister Lana.

Lana has managed to find a job as a car mechanic in Downtown Royal Woods. She makes a good decent amount weekly, she's been able to pay a quarter of what was due. As of now she hasn't been making enough due to her boss closing down shop a lot often because of "business". Lucky for her, today she was called in so at the least of that she'll make something. Over a course of 13 years she's grown into a beautiful young woman, although she doesn't like it when she's called cute. She keeps her long blonde hair down but still keeps her baseball cap on top. As for her twin, she got a job as a model for a new fashion company over in Liberty City. She moved out last week giving her final farewell to her family while giving her twin an emotional goodbye.

Lincoln sets down the bills and decides that he needs to take his mind off of things. "Maybe a walk through Ketchum Park will help me clear things off" He thought.

Grabbing his coat he leaves a note on a post it sticky;

Went to take a walk at the park, i'll be home soon - Lincoln

He placed the sticky down and proceeded to walk out into the drizzly afternoon.
