Before the story, though Thanksgiving already passed, I just want to express my gratitude to all of the followers and readers of my stories. It has been a productive three months in Fanfiction. So, I want to thank you all.
For that, I accept also questions, aside from comments and suggestions. And I shall try to follow up on story requests. I have one slated for this week. I will also start new stories and do followups for other stories. I am so jampacked with ideas right now. However, currently, I will try to cope up with balance of this, work and my personal life.
With that, I bring to you one of the most requested stories. Hope you enjoy!
Another Saturday approaches. Lincoln gets up from an effervescent rest he had for the Friday night. Saturdays excite him, since he has lesser worries for an almost carefree day. He yawns, and then shares to the readers, "Ahhh…nothing like a worry-free Saturday morning."
Then suddenly, Lynn bursts from the door and sounds out to Lincoln, "Lincoln, wake up!"
Lynn's sudden burst makes Lincoln jump out of his bed in surprise. "Lynn, will you stop it?" Lincoln reminds his sister.
"Sorry! Have you ever seen Lana, Lola, Lisa or Lily?! They're missing since this morning?" Lynn asks frantically.
"Well, I never seen them," Lincoln answer ingenuously, "As you see, I was sleeping!"
"You better help us bro! They're nowhere in the house."
"What?!"
Lucy then pops into their conversation, also in search of the four younger sisters. "They're not in their rooms," she utters.
"They're not in the rooms downstairs!" Lori frenetically announces from there.
"They're not in the basement!" Luna anxiously updates from downstairs.
"They're not in the oven," Leni hurriedly broadcasts from the kitchen.
"They're not even in the yard!" Luan tells them worriedly. The sisters then gather to Lincoln's room to lay down the matters with their brother in company.
"They're not everywhere?!" Lincoln inquires in a panicky manner, "Oh no! Mom's gonna kill us!"
"Don't worry. Mom's at her morning shopping," Lynn assures, "We just need to find them before she does!"
"Okay, have we searched everywhere?" Lincoln asks.
"We literally turned the house upside down, just to search them, Lincoln," Lori implies.
"Garage, chimney, coach interiors, the air vents, Charles' dog house, you name it," Luna adds to their case.
"Well, there's one place we haven't checked yet," Lincoln says, then directs them to Clyde's house.
Lincoln knocks on the door, and Clyde responds. "Linc and Looooorriii?" Clyde answers, catching his attention to Lincoln's older sister and making him faint at her presence.
"Clyde, it's important!" Lincoln alarmingly relays the matter to his best friend, "Have you seen Lana, Lola or Lisa or Lily?"
"I don't know baby…" Clyde answers woozily, as if he is talking to Lori, then dozes off.
"Ughh, this is not helping," Lori reacts.
"Well, we just have to jump to plan B," Lincoln suggests.
As the Loud brother implies, his suggest plan of action is something not new but practical: to shout their names, and ask their neighbors or any passersby. It is no-brainer task but a poor one done by the Louds.
Lincoln goes house to house to no avail; and in one house, he gets confused from a wanted criminal (a short old man) by a couple of kids who throw him inside and capture him. Lincoln is able to escape since the ropes he was held captive of are made of liquorices. However, he gets cornered by the kids who beat him up.
Lynn hollers their names, but accidentally calls a group of mean girls with coincidentally the same names; she mocks, making the mean girls chase after Lynn, out of disgust.
Lucy asks from delivery men (postman, milkman, newspaper boy) on where the kids are; however, they get scared off her sudden appearance. Lori somehow locates them in a birthday party, but ends up with the wrong set of kids with similar resemblance in outfits; this causes to go uproar and pile on top of Lori.
Luna pulls out her megaphone and calls out for them in normal tone, then in sing-song; however, she gets booed by people who hear her.
Leni searches from peculiar locations like bushes, sewer drains, garbage cans and even under cars; but, along the way, she is immune from oncoming disasters like a passing car that hits to a lamppost, a pair of joggers who trip over to a puddle of mud and a boy in a bicycle hitting to a group of boy scouts.
And Luan climbs to a tree's canopy and looks through her binoculars to possibly spot them; however, the tree gets surrounded by a pack of toy dogs, which may look friendly but are actually savage; the jokester is then chased by the pack.
Lincoln heeds after the stopping by at the previous house he got captured from, and rests at a park bench to recover. "I wonder where they could be," Lincoln asks pitifully, "Is there any miracle that we can find them?"
Suddenly, a kid with orange hair and an orange-striped shirt approaches Lincoln and tells him, "Mister, mister, there's trouble. There are three girls trying to rescue their baby sister!"
Lincoln then deduces it might be the four. "Oh no!" he utters in worry. In immediacy, he comes to their aid.
Meanwhile, in a hazardous mountain ledge, Lana the ever confident mountaineer, the best of her troop, trudges through the steep parts to rescue a helpless Lily, who is hanging from a rock on a slope near a crevice. Lola, a member of Lana's troop, tries reaching her hand to Lily, to no avail. However, slowly, Lily's hands are slipping.
Lana approaches Lola and inquires from her, "How she doing Lola?"
"She's doing fine. The air is getting crisp. We need to rescue her now!" Lola reports worriedly.
"Okay, we're to the rescue!" Lana proclaims. She then pulls out a rope and ties it around her body. "Here's the deal, Lola. You hang on this rope, while I rescue Lily."
"How come you always get to rescue?" Lola complains, "I get to rescue this time."
"But you always get a good grip!" Lana asserts.
"But you got the guts to pull us up," Lola defends, and then pulls the rope from Lana, "Just watch."
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Lana protests. The twin mountain rescuers then fight with a game of tug-of-war with the rope.
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
Lisa witnesses their feud and shares this to them, with them ignoring her highfalutin remarks, "Will you halt of your individual begrudges to each kin's and consider the subject at stake of plummeting to the ground? Fighting on a mountain peak is illogical!"
However, as she approaches them, Lisa trips over a rock and plummets to the slope, tangling herself to the rope and heading towards Lily's position. This causes for Lana to be dragged down with her, but Lola catches her on time.
"I…can't…get…a grip," Lola utters.
"You can do it Lola. Just move backwards to pull us up, and we'll all be fine," Lana says assuredly. However, their combined weight makes it impossible for the 6-year-old to pull the three out of the crevice. It would be like pushing against a wall.
"It may be against my cognitive motor functions to convey such excretions by the temporal lobe," Lisa remarks, but frankly cries, "…but I don't want to die!"
Lisa then hears Lily's soft, innocent mumbles as she hangs on by the rock. "Lily…" Lisa utters, as she reaches her arm to Lily's hand. And at an effortless attempt, Lisa grabs on to Lily's hand.
"I did it! I got Lily!" Lisa shouts to them.
"Great job Lise! Now Lola, pull us up!" Lana says.
"I'm trying!" Lola spouts, as she tries to lift up Lana to pull the others to her. Their grips are tight, thankfully. However, the strong gravitational pull slowly slips Lily out of Lisa's hand. Unfortunately, Lily is wearing mittens. Thus, slipping can be a natural tendency. And thus, that happens.
Lily is crying as she feels herself slipping, despite Lisa trying to grab her. "Lily, hold on!"
"I can't…" Lola frustratingly articulates, knowing she is unable to grasp Lana's hand fully.
Lisa then calls out to them, "Are you two okay up there?" However, as she calls them, Lily slips her hand from Lisa and falls down. "Lily!" the 4-year-old screams and goes after her baby sister, dragging Lana and in the process.
"Lana!" Lola screams for her falling sibling. However, Lily stops at the near end of the slope. As it turns out, the four are just playing in the slide and are just imagining. And the three compile near its edge.
"This is just embarrassing," Lisa speaks out.
"Yeah, but you were kind of clumsy as a climber," Lana reacts.
"Well, if that's the case, at least I'm not a mud lover," Lisa replies with throwing mud at her sister. She laughs at this, but gets another mud from Lana in exchange. Lily then throws mud to the two, initiating a mud fight.
"Will you two stop?" Lola complains, "This isn't mud territory!"
"Aww, you just need to get into the fun," Lana says as she throws mud to her sister. This makes Lola infuriated, making her dive to the ground but fall to a puddle of mud, causing the three to laugh. Striking back, Lola picks up a mound and joins in the mud fight. Lisa grabs Lily, making the latter shoot more mud.
The other Loud siblings are able to catch up to them in the playground and witness this in sheer curiosity.
"Uhmm what's going on here?" Lincoln asks them.
"Ohh, Linc, guys! You're here! We're just playing," Lana answers.
"Just playing? Some kid told me that you were rescuing your baby sister?" he inquires with concern.
"Oh, that was just us playing. Lily got up on the slide and almost fell down to it. So, we tried to rescue her," Lana answers with a nervous laugh.
Suddenly, Mrs. Loud shows up with four ice cream cones on her hand. "Kids, what are you doing here?"
"We're just looking for Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily," Luna answers.
"And we thought they were literally missing in the house," Lori adds to their case.
"Oh, sorry about that. The kids got up early but find there was no breakfast cereal left," Mrs. Loud explains, "They got cranky, so I bring them with me to the market, then here. I told this to you, Lori. Remember?"
Lori, however, cannot recall that morning. What really happened is that while she was sleeping, Mrs. Loud gives her instructions for the morning and Lori responds with a "yes".
"I can't seem to remember," Lori says.
"Well, if there's one thing to know. It's that you should have not slept that off your mind. Hehehe. Get it?" Luan jokingly implies, making Lori annoyed.
"Okay, have to go to the mall to pay the bills," the Loud family matriarch says, "Can you do me a favor kids, give them these ice cream and take them home please?"
The older Loud siblings agree, and take Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily back home. The formers are seated on the couch while doing their normal stuff, expect for Lincoln, who is witness his four younger siblings playing a game of Marco Polo (with Lola as the one blindfolded).
"Man, it's a delight to see them play like that, especially with how they play with Lily. I thought we lost them," Lincoln shares.
"Yeah," Lori agrees, "But we could've lost you as well that age." This catches the attention of the other older sisters, along with Lucy.
"Huh?" Lincoln wonders.
"Oh yeah, remember that time when we lost him on his 1st birthday?" Lynn shares her side.
"Or when we dress him like a cute girly doll?" Leni relates.
"Or when we take him to the ice cream parlor, and he messes himself with chocolate?" Luna recounts, making her laugh remembering that moment.
"Or when we take him to the beach, but slips on his birthday suit? Hehehe," Luan tells while laughing.
"Or when we have him dance in our family reunion, and he hurls on my dress?" Lori discloses.
"Wait, what are you all talking about?" Lincoln asks.
"Awww bro, it was those times when you were a baby," Lynn answers with a sneer and a rub to Lincoln's head, making him widen his eyes. The sisters get along with reminiscing those younger times.
"Ohhh, this oughta be a good one," Lucy reacts, "Go ahead Lynn. Expose the truth."
"Well, let me start when he was just born…" Lori then narrates the whole story.
