"It's your typical day here in the Loud House." A white haired boy at the age of eleven said to the wall, wearing an orange polo with blue jeans and sneakers. This is Lincoln Loud, a problem solving and improvising kid who knows how and get out of most situations … "Most" that is. For this eleven year old boy is currently located in a walk in closet, which is his own personal room, talking to the readers for he is fully aware of the fourth wall. But what seemed off was Lincoln's right yes is swollen, however it is not severe and healing. "If by "Typical" I mean this." Lincoln opens the door to reveal TEN girls roaming the upstairs hall, everything is in chaos.
From oldest to youngest is Lori Loud. A short blond haired girl with blue earrings while wearing a blue top and brown shorts and blue slip on shoes. Being the oldest means she sees herself to be the boss of everyone when she is left in charge, she is sometimes selfish and rude, but she does have a soft side, extremely soft when her boyfriend Bobby calls on her phone...everyday. Next is Leni, a blonde haired girl with wearing sunglasses over her head while dressed in a sea foam green dress and sandals. She may not be the most intelligent, however Leni is a genious when it comes to fashion and clothing, Ironic I know. The third oldest is Luna Loud, a pixie brown haired with paper clip earring rockstar dreamer wearing a cut up purple top with a skull insignia along with purple boots. The fourth eldest is Luan Loud, a brown haired girl with a ponytail held by a scrunchy, along with wearing a white blouse with some flower decoration and a plaid skirt. She is a genius of a prankster and the best comedian. Fifth eldest is Lynn Loud, a brown haired girl with a ponytail to keep her hair up and out of the way, in such wearing a white jersey with an insignia of number 1 along with sports shorts and sneakers, the athlete of the family, and mostly a very sore loser. Now the younger sisters, Lucy Loud, a black dyed hair girl with pale skin with a black dress. A goth at most but very enthusiastic with dark and vampires, and very poetic. Next are the twins, Lola and Lana Loud, both blondes and complete opposite to one another. Lola is a literal princess and mostly wants her way, wearing a crown and pink dress at most, while Lana is a tomboy dirt loving and animal caring handy girl. Lisa Loud is tenth child, a brown haired girl with round glasses, wearing a green sweater and brown short and black shoes. The prodigy of the family for being the smartest, however she tends to do many experiments which mostly explodes more often. Lastly is Lily Loud, the baby of the family with dippers which could clear a room.
"You see, Loud isn't just our sire name, it's always loud here." Lincoln continues to monologue. "But that's how I like it, never trade it for the world." he said and closes the doors. "However, today, it was a bad yet good day for me." he said and pulls up a remote, pressing the reverse button.

As Lincoln walks down the halls of his school, he opens his locker, only to meet with a spring trap boxing glove, sending him flying across the hall and to wall. The world was spinning as he might be seeing planets orbiting and was soon sucked into a black hole of eternal slumber. Lincoln soon woke up to be in the nurse's office with his head pounding, apparently he could see a girl with black spiked hair which had highlight running the front top of her head. She also wears purple jacket with a black and white striped shirt underneath, he notices she wears pink checkered skirt and white performance skirt. She is sitting on a stool while Lincoln himself is laying on one of the beds.
"Ugh...what happened?" Lincoln groans as he tries to get up.
The girl puts her hand on his shoulder, not wanting him to get up. "Easy there mate, you took a big hit to the noggin,'" she spoke in a fluent british accent. "Some bloke rigged ya locker with a boxing glove and sent you to the wall."
"That explains the pounding in my head." Lincoln said while blinking to get his vision a little more straightened out, with his senses coming back. "Wait… I've seen you in the halls… and the cafeteria playing an air guitar with headphones on?"
The girl smiles, showing a little gap in her front teeth. "That's me," she said with gentle energy, knowing she is in the quiet zone of the nurse's office. "We've never introduced ourselves, the name's Tabby McGee, musician enthusiastic." she then lifts her hand to his.
"Lincoln Loud," He let out a smile and shook her hand.
Tabby's eyes widened. "You by any chance related to Luna Loud?"
"Yeah she's my big rocking sister," The white haired boy said scratching his chin while pondering. "You know her?"
"She's a mate I hang out time to time after school." Tabby said and takes a bottled water with a straw and lifts it to the injured boy. "Thirsty?"
Lincoln nods as he have his lips on the straw, releasing it as he is well hydrated. "How long have I been out?" he asked looking for a clock.
"About an hour," Tabby said. "I was expecting you to zonk out all day...you're a lot sturdier than I thought?"
"When you have ten sisters, and one of them is an athlete," Lincoln chuckles with prideful brag of his family. "It's a blessing and a curse to be a jack of all trades."
"Blimey, that's what I call full house?"
"I know, and I wouldn't trade it for the world."
"Good to hear from a strong boy like you." Tabby said shyly, earning a blush from Lincoln. "I… I better get going, see ya later Lincoln." she got up from her stool and leaves, however, Lincoln maybe have some dulled senses for the moment, but he could see a faint blush on her cheeks before she made it out the door.
"Wow… what a girl." Lincoln said in awe. His eyes widened with a large blush in his face. "Wait… has she been sitting next to me the entire time?"

Lincoln presses play to have everything back in motion. "So yeah, some idiot decided to use a spring loaded boxing glove and nearly killed me, I would never forgive someone like." he said as he rubs his arm. "But I met an amazing girl who stood by me the entire time… wow…" his face immediately reddened just by thinking of Tabby.
Suddenly he heard knocking on the door, he opens it to see Luna with her guitar case on her back. "Hey little Bro, how's the eye?"
"Doing alright," Lincoln said quickly with his blush fading away.
However, the rockstar sister notices, letting out a smile. "Oooh, does Linky have a crush on someone?"
"Nah ah ah!" Lincoln pulls up a paper that said "NOT TO LOUD" in front of his big sister. "Remember article six."
Luna let out a sigh. "No meddling with Lincoln's life unless it is of dire emergency, bullying, and etc." she remembered as the sisters tried to meddle with Lincoln facing off a bully, did not turn out so well when he got a black eye. "Come on, it's just a little tease."
Lincoln puts away the paper. "Yeah sorry," he said. "This girl is just… amazing," he looks down to his hands. "My heart just pounds harder than a bass, making my hands and fingers so… wild… it makes me want t- Luna...are you ok?"
The rockstar sister let out a big smile with her eyes sparkling and gushing over her brother. Luna grabs her little brother, and gives him a big hug. "Oh Lincoln is…" she quickly leads Lincoln back into his room and closes the door so no one could hear. "... in love!"
Lincoln blushes more as he is redder than a cherry. "No I'm… not… denying." he sighs in defeat.
"Little bro, how about we grab you a real guitar?" she said and let out an assuring smile, "I'll help out pitching in."
Lincoln thought for a moment, he went to his stash while Luna looks away and kept her brothers secret safe. "Alright, let's do this."

As Luna and Lincoln got dropped off to the mall by Lori, they soon walked past by the many shops Lincoln had seen many times.
"Alright," Lori looks at her little siblings and her watch, "Mom and Dad want us home in one hour, we'll meet back here next to the water found in fortyfive minutes." she said with both obedience and care of her siblings.
Everyone agreed as they split up to do their own agenda, Luna and Lincoln walked to the other entrance of the Mall where it has more variety in fine arts. "So this is where you've been hanging out most of the time?"
"That's right bro," Luna said with a smile waving at the workers they pass by. "I window shop here and there to gain inspiration, plus it's pretty chilled and they don't mind the mix of loud music."
"Loud music?" Lincoln raises his eyebrow.
"Here we are." Luna stops as Lincoln looked at the shop, making his eyes widened with surprise and excitement.
The shopping center is huge which took up both two levels of the mall, as music is bustling left and with with Country, Hip Hop, Rock, and Heavy Metal. The safe neon sign calls the huge music shop "Age of Music!"
Lincoln was in awe until his sister whistled him over where she is at the entrance. "Come on bro, we're wasting time!"
The white haired little brother hustles to Luna's side and looks around, seeing the Country and Rap singers talking together in peace, while much to his surprise to see a heavy rocker punk trying out a trumpet sitting next to to tuxedo jazz player strumming an axe guitar to test out the feels of the strings. Both seem to fail and have a good laugh at one another.
"What is this crazy place?"
"This is where Music of all ages band together here in this oasis," Luna said. "This is a hotspot for everyone with different taste to let loose and have fun and chill with no worries, this is where I got my first guitar." she said and leads Lincoln around the set of records and CDs. "The bottom floor is the shop itself, while the upstairs is the performance, practice and chill zone to just hang out, it even has it's own smoothy place with really good food."
"That explains why you never eat at the food court."
Luna walks up to the front counter, just to see a tall man with long black rocking tamed hair while wearing a gray shirt and a blunt studded leather vest and light cut jeans and performance boots. "Hey Mr. Mcgee, how's it rocking?"
"Smashing future Lunar rockstar." he spoke in fluent british accent, raising Lincolns eyebrow as if he heard that accent somewhere before. "So what can I do for my favorite customer?"
Luna laces her arm around Lincoln for a playful hug. "My little bro is in love and needs to get his hands on a guitar." earning and embarrassing blush from Lincoln but has a hearty smile.
Mr. Mcgee chuckles and pats the boy in the head. "Don't worry mate, I've met my wife that day, when I got my hands on that guitar, my fingers felt fire and sounds blaze across Big Ben." he said, but with a mournful look, quickly looks at Lincoln with a smile. "So, take ya pick and have a strum shall we?" he gestures his hand to the guitar section.
Lincoln looks at the entire selection of guitars… but none seem to have caught his eye, for it is too big and too small… too colorful… yikes too spiky… but something had drawn and locks his eyes on a special guitar encased in a bullet proof seal in display.
A black colored accustic guitar with silver metal works as if shaped into wings while the center hole has decorative colors of silver fire, and the top string head has an eagle shape wood carving with an emerald jewel for an eye. Lincoln could not look away as he had stared at it for more than five minutes, admiring the decorative instrument, until a voice of an angel had snapped him out to reality.
"Lincoln?" his attention made him blink twice, shaking his head to grab his sense back and turns to see… "What are you doing here mate?"
"Tabby?" Lincoln gasped a little for he could not control his blush, neither did Tabby for she blushes shyly, fidgeting her boot and her arm wrapped back to hold her other arm. "I-I uh was… um…guitar loo- I mean…" he sputters trying to find words and failing. "I was looking for a guitar. What are you doing here?"
"My dad here owns the place." Tabby said walking around the counter and got herself up and a stool and next to Mr. Mcgee. "I help out my dad here and there while enjoying my freedom with music."
"And the best helper she is," he said gently ruffling his daughter's hair, not to mess it up, and looks back at the white haired boy. "I see old Black King had caught your eye." he said with a smile.
Lincoln looks at it once more with amazement. "Is this your guitar?"
"That's right, used to play it in my younger days, draws my first and only lover." Mr. Mcgee said and exits out of the counter with Tabby behind him. "This old friend here is moved many hearts and souls, here and beyond the dead itself…" than an idea popped into the old rocker's mind. "How about you have a go mate?" The store owner said without hesitation, earning a shock from everyone...and I mean everyone as the entire store fell silent and the customers looked at Mr. Mcgee.
"Wait...me?" Lincoln said with shocked. "I can't… I-"
"You've been staring at old King for a while," Mr. Mcgee said as he opens the case and levels it to Lincoln. "He's calling out to you, for he's getting bored of collecting dust."
Lincoln looked hesitant as he looked at his sister, seeing Luna motioning her hands to say "go on" and his attention to Tabby is a longing stare with an awe expression. He took a deep breath and gently takes the guitar.
Mr. Mcgee lead Lincoln to a performance stage where everyone is waiting for him to play. While the store owner is adjusting the strap around Lincoln's body, the chosen player looks to see Tabby and Luna, waiting to hear him play.
"Alright mate, have a go." Mr. Mcgee said as he finishes and steps off the stage and sits next to his daughter.
Lincoln gulps as he taps the mic to see it is working, getting his fingers adjusted and strum to have a feel. He felt nervous… everyone is looking at him… waiting him to rise or fail miserable...but he sees Tabby. Everyone disappeared and only Tabby is seated with her smile widened. He took a deep breath and… and sings.

I thought that I've been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Lincoln began to strum the guitar, the sounds become graceful as it is vibrates throughout the store.
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking falling onto my knees
His strum became harder as the sound have gracefully move across the mall. Lori was about to text Bobby while shopping for a new top… only to feel the sound of the Black King guitar catching her full attention, making her drop the things she was shopping for and head towards the "Age of Music" store.
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
I'm tripping over myself
I'm aching begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sew
I'm left seeing red on my own
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
I'm tripping over myself
I'm aching begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
Lincoln stop singing to take silent breaths, looking down with closed eyes while his fingers strum the needed notes for the audience.
I'll be needing stitches
Tabby however, is now caught in a trance where the only audience is her… alone with Lincoln.
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Ba-bump.
Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead
Ba-bump. Ba-bump.
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump.
Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead
Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump.

Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead
Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump.
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head
Lincoln sings aloud for having an explosion of pure sounds awing the entire store, earning satisfying cheers and heart warming claps
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
I'm tripping over myself
I'm aching begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

As Lincoln stops strumming, he could hear the large encore of the many thousands of people in the entire mall. He could see Luna raising her arms with devil horns in her hands, screaming out her little brother's name, he even saw Mr. Mcgee clapping with tears in his eyes, but lastly, he saw Tabby, crying with joy as her hands are on her mouth to try to control herself, her face red and her eyes locked onto Lincolns. A huge spark is made between them and sealed the chain of fate.

As everything is settling down, Mr. Mcgee took Black King and put it into a carrying case and hands it to Lincoln. "There you have it mate, Black King is all yours."
"Really?" Lincoln said in shocked. "I can't afford this."
"Keep him. Black King would sounds horribly for anyone who tries to play him," Mr. Mcgee said. "Besides, he's in good hands now." He leans to Lincoln's ear. "Besides mate, you made a good impression for my little girl, take good care of her." he leans back and walks back to the Counter.
Tabby shyly walks up to Lincoln, fidgeting a little with blush dressing her cheeks. "Well Lincoln, you play that guitar with those impressive chops." she said looking up to him.
Lincoln could not help but blush as he let out a smile. "I can't take all the credit." he said and gestures to his big sister. "After all, I have the best teacher and sister in the world."
Luna blushes, "Awe you're making me blush," she said and walks away, "I'll be looking at some rock records, I'll leave you two alone." she said and pretends to browse.
Tabby and Lincoln looked a back at one another, she then takes out a piece of paper and hands it to Lincoln. "Here, it's my number," she said shyly, as Lincoln accepts it with his own face flushing. "If you ever wanna da...er I mean jam at anytime?"
Lincoln smiles and tears out a blank piece, writing his number and hands it to Tabby. "Same… if you wanna hang."
The two blush at one another, but the moment was ruined as Lori coughs, waiting at the entrance. "Come on guys, we got five minutes to head to Vanzilla before we're late." she said and turns, hiding a smile in her face and walks to the parking lot.
As Lincoln walks away, Tabby quickly kisses Lincoln's cheek, earning a gasp as he turns to see her run off with her hands covering her mouth. He rubs his cheek where he was kissed, letting out a smile with his eyes in a dreaming trance. He turns around and heads to the parking lot with Luna by him.
"Well, I guess this bad day had just turned into the best day ever," Lincoln monologues to the viewers/readers. "I played a legendary guitar, meet a cute and amazing girl, and I think I got myself a date, but first I got to call ahead." he said and got into Vanzilla in the back. "Hm, I can see myself as a musicianist in the future, well, can't wait for tomorrow to meet Tabby again at school… speaking of which, where is Clyde, I haven't seen him before I got knocked out this afternoon?"

In a closet in who knows where, an African-American boy with glasses and a blue and yellow stripped shirt is seen kissing a very paled girl with black hair. Both of them have their arms linked around their necks as their kissing intensifies, they pulled away with Clyde having hearts forming his pupils.
"Hubba Hubba."
The pale girl Haiku let out a smile and pulls him into another hungry kiss, not letting him go.

What, you think I let Clyde get paired with Lori, no way. Besides, I forgot about the little guy as I can see him paired with Haiku… Or Lynn… depending on my mood.
