The school bell rang and Lincoln Loud burst out the doors with his arms in the air while cheering. It was finally summer vacation. The first one of Lincoln's teenage years. He met up with Clyde and began walking home then said, "This will be the best summer ever, Clyde! I can feel it!" "Yeah! And what's even better is that I'm over my crush on Lori!" Clyde said. Lincoln all too relieved about that. His eldest sister was living with Bobby in Great Lake City now and neither of them figured Clyde's dads would agree to move anyway.
Lincoln said goodbye to Clyde then walked the rest of the way home by himself. He saw Vanzilla in the garage and had a flashback to when his sisters were helping push it because it had broken down for the third time that week and he asked Rita if she thought it was time for a new car, but she told him Vanzilla has been in the family for generations. "Someday, he hopes to pass it onto you, Lincoln." she had said, causing the sisters to laugh at him. "Yeah. Keep laughing. It'll belong to all of you over the years too." Lincoln said to the mental image of his sisters.
He walked into the house and went upstairs. His room was now the one that used to be Luna's, making Luan and Leni roommates because not only had Lori moved out, but so had Luna. She was living with Sam in Fisher, Illinois and working on her music career while still in the honeymoon stage of marriage with the teal streaked blonde. Lincoln quite liked having a big room all to himself, but it was a constant reminder that his favorite sister was no longer in the house. There was the vent he fell down from once, right on Luna's bean bag chair as she was playing her guitar. The window that her roadie, Chunk tried pulling a piano through once only to realize it was too big. The closet where Luan had kept all the blackmail she had given the title of 'Comedy Fort Knox'. "Ahh. Memories." Lincoln said to himself as he chuckled.
The teen sat down and go to work on his new hobby, which was trying to be a professional comic book artist. He sometimes had Lily come in and offer to help with ideas, but she was in day care until right before dinner time. On his desk was a picture of him and Ronnie Anne from when they were kids. The girl had just put ice down his pants and was laughing, but it was Lincoln's favorite photo. Suddenly, his ears caught the sound of his name and he turned his head to see Lucy right next to him. He jumped while screaming as he feel out his chair and swore he saw a tiny small on the goth's face. "I really wish you would stop doing that." Lincoln said, his voice cracking as he spoke. "I'm going to hang out in the cemetery with Silas tonight. Can you make sure Lynn doesn't kill Fangs?" Lucy said.
"Uhh, yeah. Sure." Lincoln said. "Thanks, Lincoln." Lucy said, leaving her brother to moan in pain on the floor. Once was able to get up, Lincoln went to get some juice from the fridge and sat down at the kitchen table while Luan entered.
"Hey, Lincoln. Wanna come with me and Benny to a comedy show tomorrow?" Luan said. "Only if I survive protecting Lucy's bat when she goes to the cemetery with Silas tonight." Lincoln said.
"That sounds batty. Get it?" Luan said, laughing as Lincoln groaned.
The next day, Lincoln had bandages from the night before while he walked back from the comedy show with his sister and future brother in-law. "I gotta go. Bye, Luan." Benny said, kissing his fiance. "Bye." Luan said, kissing him back.
Lincoln looked at Luan with disgust and she told him that he'd understand when he's older. "I am older!" Lincoln said, causing Luan to roll her eyes. The brother and sister duo returned home then Lincoln went to the backyard, making the decision to watch the clouds while laying on Charles' doghouse while the family canary, Walt sat down on his stomach. "What's wrong, Lincoln?" Leni asked. "Nothing really. It's just that everyone in this family's in love. Lori has Bobby, you have Chaz, Luna's got Sam, Luan has Benny, Lynn is trying to get Francisco's attention when she's not focused on being competitive. It's a lot to handle." Lincoln said. "I thought you were dating Page." Leni said, confused.
"No. That didn't work out. She didn't even notice me when I tried giving her compliments on her moves at the arcade. Pretty sure I still have a scar from when she kicked me into the concession stand." Lincoln said. "Don't be so dramatic, Stinkin'. That girl was never the right one from you anyway." Lynn said, coming outside to practice her soccer goals.
"Oh yeah? And who is?" Lincoln said asked. "Ronnie Anne." the remaining sisters replied in unison.
"Come on, Lincoln. You know that you like her." Lana said. "Yeah. That picture of her sticking ice down your pants is still on your desk!" Lola said. The white haired boy thought about it and his sisters were right. At least the ones who didn't live far away. Lincoln instantly went to his room and video called Lori.
"I literally knew this day was coming! I'd call a sibling meeting, but…" Lori said before the others made their presence known. "Guess we're all here now except for Luna." Lincoln said.
Just then, his phone rang and he got it out then looked at it. "Speak of the devil." he said, putting his phone on video call and setting it next to his computer. "Hey, dudes!" Luna said.
"Wow. That was literally impeccable timing. Lincoln was just telling me about how our sisters made him realize he's in love with Ronnie Anne." Lori said. "Dude! I was just discussing with Sam about that last week!" Luna said.
"Speaking of, how's married life treating you?" Lori asked. "It's pretty radical. Sam and I still have tiny little arguments once in awhile, but it's totally cool." Luna said, blushing slightly at her sister mentioning that she married her dream girl. "Can we focus on me, please? You know, your one and only brother?" Lincoln said.
