"And with that, I beat you again." Said a 15 year old Lincoln to a 15 year old Ronnie Anne.
"Ugh, yeah I know, no need to rub it to my face." Said Ronnie, annoyed.
"Hey, you always shove your victories at my face when you win, I feel it's only fair" Lincoln Said cockily.
Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes, then she smiled.
Lincoln was now taller, his snow white hair was also longer, it even covered one of his eyes, it was also spikier. He was now wearing a white T-shirt, an orange sleeveless hoodie, blue sweatpants, and red sneakers. He was also wearing a multi colored bandana around his neck, and two cloths tied into each of his wrist (one red and the other green).
Ronnie Anne was also taller though she was a little smaller than Lincoln, she no longer wears her hair in a ponytail, letting down her back. She now wears her hoodie unzipped and with the hood on, a white T-shirt underneath, she still wears her short but now wears boots.
Lincoln took out his cellphone and looked at the time, it was getting kind of late. "Maybe we should go back now."
"We still have time, you know." Said Ronnie Anne with annoyance.
Lincoln just gave her a deadpan stare. "Do you want to get an earful from Rosa like that other time?".
Ronnie got a shudder before answering. "Fine, you have a point, let's go."
"So you guys are already leaving?" Said a female voice.
Lincoln and Ronnie anne turned around to see Nikki, who in the following years has grown even taller, now she even towered over Lincoln. Her attire remained mostly the same.
"Yeah, we don't wanna get in trouble so we are leaving now." Said Ronnie Anne with an annoyed tone.
"Come on, don't tell your family is afraid of you arriving a little late." Nikki said while rolling her eyes.
"You clearly haven't heard about what happened the last time with my Grandma, trust me it's better for us if we go back".
Nikki figured she couldn't argue with that logic. "Okay, I'm gonna tell Casey and Sameer that you're leaving." And with that, she went to talk to her other friends.
"Well lame-o, are gonna leave or…" Ronnie stopped talking when she noticed Lincoln was staring Nikki in a thoughtful expression.
"Hey, what are you doing staring at her!" She asked, feeling a little jealous.
"Wha-?!" He snapped from his trance and looked at his girlfriend. "OH!, It's not like that!" He quickly defended himself.
"Then why are you staring at her?".
"She...remind me of them."
Ronnie Anne now understood.
It wasn't the first time this happened, this happened quite often when he first meet Nikki, while this died out as time went on, it still popped out from time to time. Then Ronnie remembered that in a few days it's gonna be 4 years since...that happened, so he that also has something to do with that.
"Are you okay?" She asked with worry.
Lincoln stood still for a few seconds before nodding. "Let's just go." was all he said.
Ronnie nodded and the two got out of the arcade. While they were walking, Ronnie grabbed a hold of Lincoln's arm and stays close to him. Lincoln blushed at this gesture. Eventually they reached the casagrande residence.
Carefully dodging the vicious cats, the two entered their home, there they were greeted by their pet dog Lalo, they both smiled and pat him.
"Hey there Lalo, how you been?" Ronnie said to her pet, who licked her in the face, she laughed at that. Then Lalo went to lick Lincoln's face, he just simply smiled through it.
"Hey there, you came back." Said a voice, revealed to be Hector Casagrande, Ronnie Anne's grandfather.
"You know how Grandma gets when she gets angry, so we didn't want to make a repeat of last time." Said Ronnie.
"Smart choice." He said amused. He then turned to Lincoln, who looked troubled.
"Are you okay Lincoln? You look like something's bothering you." Said Hector.
"Eh? I'm okay Hector, I just need some alone time" And with that he marched to his room, but was stopped by Ronnie Anne.
She looked like she was looking the words to say. "We're here for you." She immediately berated herself for that. 'Your friend is feeling bad and you just say the most generic words ever, good going Ronalda' She thought.
But Lincoln appreciated the gesture anyways, he grasped her hand and said. "Thanks." And with that he went to his room.
Ronnie stood there before being approached by her grandfather.
"He just needs his space, he'll be fine." He tried to reassure her.
Ronnie looked unsure, but then she sighed. "Okay." She said and proceeded to go watch tv in order to distract herself.
Meanwhile, Lincoln arrived at his room, which used to be Bobby's room before he moved out to college. Now the room was decorated with Lincoln's stuff (posters, action figures, comics, etc) it also had numerous drawings, which Lincoln made once he found out that his talent was art.
But what Lincoln was really focused was a photo sitting in his desk, he picked it up. In the photo there was a younger version of himself and numerous people, mostly young girls, upon seeing them he started to look at his multi colored bandana. Then he saw two adults, upon seeing them he inspected the two cloths that he tied around his wrists.
They were all smiling.
Those were smiles that will never see the light of the day again.
Sighing to himself, Lincoln simply plopped to his bed.
"It's gonna be four years at this point and I still haven't got over it." He said.
Even despite having lived with the Casagrandes for four years at this point, having made a new life for himself, Lincoln could never forget the accident that brought him here in the first place.
Sighing to himself once again. Lincoln began to reminisce how he arrived here in the first place.
I can't help but feel this went to fast and/or was poorly paced.
Anyways, this is another one of my ideas that i presented: Lincoln casagrande. Basically in this fanfic the loud family minus Lincoln dies, which causes Lincoln to move out with the santiagos and eventually they move out with the casagrandes like in canon (this time with Lincoln tagging along).
Sometime before i started this i decided to make a prologue that takes place some years after the tragedy, Also i wanted to show of my older designs for Lincoln and Ronnie anne (the others didn't change much because laziness). The multicolored bandanna and cloths are a last minute inclusion because i liked the idea (the bandanna has the colors that represent each sibling like teal, black, lilac, light green , red etc. While the two cloths represent his parents).
Next we jump back a few years into the past to see where this all started. BTW though the fic is named Lincoln casagrande, it takes some time for them to go there.

Catch ya later.
