Hello everybody and welcome to my first Loud House FanFiction. I have to say, I was bit reluctant to watch series since it's on Nickelodeon and that channel has gone down hill like Cartoon Network, but I'm glad that I was wrong and I love the Loud House series. The show's great, pretty original.

For those who know me, I am currently on break from my other works, but don't worry I'm still planning to do some revising on my big fanfic that I'm definitely not giving up on.

Anyway, after falling in love with the show by just watching one random episode, I decided to read some fics about the show and ended up finding Mr ChubbySnorlax619's "Loud House: A Family Together." I suggest you all read his work first before reading this one.

With Mr ChubbySnorlax619's permission, I am able to write oneshots about his work. Now, what I'll be writing will not necessarily mean it is canon with his work unless they want to, of course. Also, I'll be doing what-if's regarding Mr ChubbySnorlax619's Loud House fic, like "what if Lincoln never ran away." (I'll probably be doing this what-if the most)

Well, let's start. Enjoy~

[Around 7 years since Lincoln ran away from home.]

For a family with the last name Loud, the house of said family is pretty quiet. Anyone who are associated with Loud family would definitely find this most odd, especially at this date of time.

December 23, the day before Christmas Eve. Due to the Louds being a pretty big family, Christmas is a pretty big deal for them and they would be still decorating the whole house to prepare for the big day of the month. Just like how he remembered spending the holiday with his family.

Lincoln Loud, the child run away of the Loud family, rubbed off some snow on his motorcycle helmet before taking it off. He took in a deep breath of cold air and then exhaling, letting his warm breath freeze instantly in front of him. When he first considered running away, he thought up everything that he will miss spending with his family. Spending Christmas was one of them.

Currently he has missed 6 Christmas Eves with his family, but this year will be different. He is not ready yet to return, but the least he could do right now is leave some presents behind before leaving his home town again. A secret Santa, if you will.

The 18 year old dismounted from his Honda CD200 before grabbing his bag full of gifts. He looked inside the bag to make sure he had everyone's gifts. Five wrapped gifts and a small festive envelope.

The gifts were sort of last minute due to some inconveniences, but Lincoln was lucky at least to get presents for each of his family.

For his first sister, Lori, Lincoln got her a ticket to a Boyz will be Boyz concert. Hard to believe those boys went from internet stars to famous celebrities. Their music were not that appealing to Lincoln during their first year as internet stars, but they were to Luna and Lori, especially to the latter. A small smirk appeared as Lincoln remembered the first time Lori listened to their music online; she would not stop talking about them for weeks.

For his fashionista of a sister, Leni, Lincoln bought her a top of the line sewing machine. His second oldest younger sister always wanted to create and design her own line of clothes; he was not sure if she has started yet, but at least this will provide her with great help. He only hopes she does not end up hurting herself when operating the machine.

For his music-loving sister, Luna, Lincoln bought her some CDs. He was not sure what Luna's current taste in music are right now, but the CDs are popular songs made and composed by Mick Swagger, a longtime popular singer in a rock band. Along with Mick Swagger, Lincoln bought her CDs of his favorite band, SMOOCH.

For Luan, his comedian sister, Lincoln got her a ventriloquist dummy. He does not know why, but this Mr. Coconuts dummy just screams "Luan" when he first laid his eyes on it. This should prove great help for her acts and Luan has always wanted to have a dummy of her own after seeing that famous comedian and his skeleton dummy on TV.

Lincoln then frowned as he looked over the box that contains Lynn's Christmas present. He had hardly any money left after getting Lori and Luna's presents and he wanted to enough for their parents. Inside the box was a luchador mask that is red, blue, and black in color with sharp teeth that were designed mainly for intimidation. He can still can not believe he's earning money by competing in luchador competitions and this mask was for training before getting a different that fitted him more. Lynn was already in love with many sports before he left, perhaps she already gain a like to Mexican wrestling.

As he looked over his mother's gift wrapped present, he remembered the first time his mother brought him to her job when he felt left out during Take-Your-Daughter-to-Work day at his father's IT job. That day, he learned that his mother always wanted to publish her own novel. Through a rather strange, exciting, and almost boring day, he ended up destroying his mother's copy. At first he expected his mother to be mad at him, but instead she wanted him to tell her about his day so she could write a new novel based on it.

Part of his mother's ambition to publish a novel was because of a long time running novel series, that has been around since his mother was a young girl, which is also the source of her inspiration to write a novel. Inside the gift wrapped box was the latest book of that series; first edition too.

Lincoln frowned deeply as he looked over the festive envelope, which contains his father's present. He and his father never spent any quality time together since the latter works a lot of hours at his IT job. Inside the envelope is also the reason why he ran away, money.

The Loud family always had problem with money, especially in growing family with many mouths to feed. So, Lincoln ran away to buy his parents more time to earn more money for the bills that they could hardly pay off with five kids.

Lincoln looks back at his old house, wondering if his family still lives here. The mail box still has the Loud name written on it, so where are his sisters and parents if they still here?

His train of thoughts were interrupted by a familiar and grouchy voice.

"Never thought I'd see you again, Loud."

Startled, Lincoln turned to the source of the voice and saw the face of frowning old man in warm clothing. It seems the neighborhood has hardly changed since he left. Standing before him is elderly neighbor Mr. Grouse and he seems to be grouchy as ever. He looks the same since he last saw him, only he has more wrinkles and less hair.

Before he could speak his mind, the elderly male continued.

"And here I thought I'd be free of you Louds for Christmas." Mr. Grouse grumbled mostly to himself.

That caught Lincoln's interest.

"My family aren't in Royal Woods? Do you know where they are?"

His old neighbor gave him a glare, "Do I look like I keep track of your so-called family?"

Lincoln's hand tightened, which Mr. Grouse noticed, but he did not fear for his well being.

"His sisters gave up on him too quickly. Especially that Lori-girl or whatever her name is." The old man thought wisely. He then noticed there are seven worth of gift wrapped presents inside the bag that Lincoln is holding. "Hmmmm...I'll let him find out himself."

Mr. Grouse cleared his throat to continue talking. "If you must know, they said something about visiting some Pop-Pop or something along the line. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to fix myself some hot cocoa and enjoy myself a Loud-free Christmas, but since you're here, I'm just going to ignore you." He said rudely before going inside his own house.

Lincoln sighed deeply. His family are out of town to see his maternal grandfather. Good, that means the chances of accidentally being seen by them went to absolutely none. He also thanks his luck that Mr. Grouse could not care any more less about him or his family.

The white haired young adult walked up the stairs before depositing the bag full of gifts in front of the door. Royal Woods has a very low crime rate, so he did not have to worry about his gifts to his family getting stolen.

Lincoln then left the scene on his motorcycle. Leaving the Loud house and the neighborhood a second time.

I know Christmas was just more than one month ago, but I first started watching the Loud House in December, so I thought this would be appropriate.

Note: When I was thinking of the gifts, I was not completely sure what to write up for Lori. I first went for jewelry, but then Mr ChubbySnorlax619 suggested tickets to a concert.

I hope this live up to Mr ChubbySnorlax619's great fanfic.
