I don't own Loud House If I did Lincoln would be getting more spot light again and not act so stupid and lazy of late of season three. Anyway this story takes place right after Raw Deal, but I might throw in some season 2 & 3 things, now on to the story.
The sun was setting in Grand Venture State Park, the Loud family was getting ready to go home after spending the day at a national park. Lincoln was holding Lily and had disappointment written all over his face, he spent the whole day living in fear because of Lucy just wanting to pass the time on the drive over here by playing with her fortune-telling cards. She predicts nothing, but good things for his sisters although Lisa didn't start believing until her prediction came turn. However when Lucy tells Lincoln that his day will end in "tragedy". Of course he didn't take the news well which led to him in his disappointed state.
Lynn Sr. put his hands together, "Okay, kids, you have five minutes to get in the car. And if you miss the cut-off, no guarantees."
Lincoln looks to the readers, still disappointed, "Well, I guess there's a lesson here. You can't live your life in fear, or you'll miss out on it. And that would be a tragedy."
Lily frowns and rubs Lincoln cheek, "Poo poo.."
Lincoln makes a fake smile and looks to his baby sister, "It's OK Lily I'll feel better in no time, let's get back to Vanzilla before dad leaves us." Before Lincoln heads to the car, the ground starts shaking and there's a rumbling sound. Lincoln rushes over and sees something amazing, "It's the geyser! Whoa!"
Lincoln looks on to see the geyser's majestic eruption in awe. All of a sudden, the car's horn honks and the rest is leaving without him and Lily, "He really is leaving us behind. Sheesh. I always thought that was an empty threat." Lincoln chases after them while holding Lily tight, "GUYS! WAIT!"
The others however don't hear him do to either being asleep or Lincoln cries being drowned by music. Vanzilla takes off leaving the middle Loud and youngest Loud behind.
Lincoln gulps, "OK relax, I just need to use my cell phone and call them." Lincoln pulled out his phone and tried dialing his mother, but the phone didn't work because the battery ran out, "Dang it! I must of butt dialed without noticing and wasted all of my battery power!" Lily started teared up do to her big brother's yelling which Lincoln took noticed of, "Don't cry Lily they don't call me "The man with a Plan" for nothing." Lincoln then though of asking for help by the park ranger, he had to still be around.
Lincoln then ran to the ranger office, but found out he had already left for home. Lincoln was starting to get scared, he was alone with his baby sister, in the woods, that was miles away from home and he had no way to get home. The while haired boy however had to stay strong for his baby sister If she noticed Lincoln fear she would get scared as well. Lincoln was getting desperate he decided he would walk to the gas station that his family stopped at earlier, "What was that gas station called?"
Lily looked around at her surrounding, she saw that the sun was going bye-bye and lots of cars were going rom-rom by them very fast. She then saw a truck with pig in the front and chickens in the back. Lily was then remembered of a cartoon Luan was watching once, there was a boy that liked chickens, "Ed Edd'n Eddy!" Lily then clapped happily.
Lincoln remembered the name, "Ed's Gas & Snack! Lily your amazing!" Lincoln then kissed his Little sister head repeatedly making her giggle. Lincoln then started running to Ed's Gas & Snack, he didn't noticed however that he dropped his guidebook of Grand Venture State Park.
After awhile a dog picked it up with it's mouth and brought it to it's master, "¿Qué tienes ahí amigo?" The master took the book and opened it to the first page, there in big orange ink read "Lincoln Loud age 11." The man then chuckled, "¿Esos dos siguen haciendo hijos? Hubo seis de ellos la última vez que nos vimos." The man then put the book to the dog, "¿Crees que puedes oler a la pequeña bola de nieve amigo?"
The dog then nodded a proceeded to put his nose to the test, after sniff for a bit he saw that there was a trail of foot prints leading to the muddy road. The dog barked then pointed to it's master where the prints lead too.
The man then pats the dog's head, "Gran compañero de trabajo, ahora tenemos una ventaja ¡vamos rápido!" The duo hopped into the man's car which was a pink and blue 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, the duo took off and driving where the dog's nose lead them.
After two hours of walk Lincoln was a mess, he was tired, hungry and cold. Lily was scared of the darkness around and the honking from the passing cars didn't help.
Lincoln looked to his baby sister and grew worried suddenly a idea came to his head, "Cheer up, baby, don't you cry / No more tears, it's cheer-up time / Laugh with me and we will be / Happy happy happy."
Lily remembered the song Lincoln sang and started to feel her fear vanish. Lincoln continues to humming the song while rubbing Lily's back to keep her calm after another two hours of walk the two made it to Ed's Gas & Snack, "Finally! Please have a phone and decent bathroom!" Lincoln ran to the door and looked for a payphone after finding one he dung into his pockets and found he only had a ten dollar bill. Lincoln ran to the cashier, "Hi um I need some change for a payphone please."
The cashier gave him a look, "Nice try kid."
Lincoln gave a confused look which Lily mimicked, "What do you mean?"
The cashier rolled his eyes, "You ask for some change, but expect me to give you some free stuff cause your a single father."
Lincoln nearly tripped on his two feet, "W-What?! I'm not a single father I just need 50 cents to call my family!"
The man rolls his eyes again and sighs, "Fine, pretend you weren't caught red handed, but you want some change you buy something."
Lincoln looked around for something he could break a ten with after searching he bought some of the usually things that a place like this sold, chips, microwavable food a couple of drinks and a cookie after paying Lincoln got the change he needed, "Finally! Time to call our family-no wait they might not pick who should I call? Bobby! He's perfect he'll tell Lori, who'll tell mom, who will pick us up!"
Lincoln put the coins in the payphone and dialed Bobby's number and waited til he a answer, but he didn't hear anything come out of the phone, " Weird?" Did he dial the wrong number?
"Oink oink!" Lily yelled. Lincoln smiled at his little sister, "It's not that kind of phone Lily."
The cashier tried to hid a laugh, "Oh you wanted to use that payphone? Sorry it's out of order."
Lincoln gave a glare to the cashier, but before he could saying thing a mugger came in store. The mugger pointed his gun at the cashier, "Alright hands where I can see them!"
Lincoln was frozen with fear after a bit he started to sling a bit into the bathroom, but the mugger saw him, "Not fast kid I still need to see what you got."
Lincoln yipped and dashed into the lady's room. The mugger smirked through his mask and slowly start to walk to the bathroom, "Look kid I'm gonna count to three and if your not out here by then I'm gonna come in after ya."
Lincoln looked around the window in the rest room was too small and like his Dad's CDs he couldn't flush them to safety.
The Mugger was steps away from the bathroom, "One." He took a hard stomp. "Two." He clicked his gun and took a long pause before getting ready to kick the door in and gun down the boy and baby. "Thre-the men's room door sudden opened and slammed into the man.
The one who open the door was the same man from early he was a young male black man with a brown paper bag with goggles covering his face, He looked around to be 6 feet and had lean muscle all around. Nothing that would make a bodybuilder jealous, but definitely something that showed a lot of hard work. He wore a orange and black checker shirt short sleeve shirt under a green jacket, with lots of pockets, black and gray cargo pants, black soap shoes, a sliver utility belt wrapped around his waist and was carrying over his right shoulder a big black traveling satchel.
The man scratch his butt and kicked away some toilet that was on his shoes, "Man I'm starting to miss my grandma's cooking after eating so many gas station sandwiches." The man looks around and sees the cashier looking bug eye, "What?" The man looks to the door and see a man dressed as a mugger slowly slide down the wall he was slammed into, "I guess that Sandwich save a life today?" The man says looking at the man hit the ground. Suddenly the lady's room opens and Lincoln peaks he's head out.
The two make eye contact and there's a long moment of silence after the man gasp, "Lincoln es tú?!" Lincoln jumped back a bit confusion filled his mind. This older man was yelling at him in Spanish, "Hombre mirarte! Quiero decir, realmente te extrañe crecer mientras eh, ¿cómo está la familia? Tu Pop sigue haciendo las mismas comidas antiguas?" The man continued to talk not knowing the boy couldn't understand him.
Lincoln finally tried to get a word in wise, "Hey! Um Mister I'm sorry, but I don't know what your saying."
The man blinked twice and face palmed, "Sorry I forget to speak English first some times, I'm Jonathan Velazquest, most call me Velazquest, others Johnny." Johnny others his hand for a shake and Lily grabs his finger, "Oh I guessing this is your baby sister." Johnny smile while Lily shook his finger.
Lincoln nodded, "Y-yeah she's the youngest one of my baby sisters."
Johnny raised a brow, "Youngest? How many sisters do you have Snowball?"
Lincoln smiled, "I have ten sisters."
Johnny was shocked. How on earth does a somebody live with ten sisters? Johnny then shook his head, "Ten sisters and you, how do you survive little man?"
Lincoln grinned, "I have my ways."
Johnny smiled at the kid. He remind him of himself when he was a kid.
Lincoln was wondering something about Johnny, "So your not a kidnapper right?"
Johnny almost fell to the floor, "No! I'm a old friend of your family Linc." Johnny pulls out a Ipad from his satchel and showed Lincoln a picture of him with his family around the time he was born, His parents were holding each other Luan was making a funny face, Luna was hiding behind Leni who was waving happily to the camera, Lynn was holding a baseball and Lori was holding Johnny's arm who was holding Lincoln with his free arm.
Lincoln and Lily look at the picture and were amazed, "So you were around when I was a baby?"
Johnny nodded, "Yeah I left after this picture was taken and where I ended up I couldn't really contact you guys, I'm sorry for not keeping in touch."
Lincoln was surprised that his family never mention Johnny before he wondered why that was, sudden he remembered why he was here in the first place, "Hey I know we just met, but could I borrow your phone I need to call my family and tell them where we are!"
Johnny took note of what Lincoln said, "What?! I thought you were just on a field trip or something! Linc please tell me they didn't just leave you two out here!"
Lincoln started to sweat, did his family just forget the two or did they plan to leave them in the woods. No! His family love him they would never ditch a 11 year old and a baby to fend for themselves, "No we just got left behind by our family our dad must of forgot us."
Johnny wanted to kick Lynn into a black hole after hearing that, but he grabbed that anger and moved it to the side for later, "OK here's what we could do I could call your folks and tell them your alright, then drive ya home or I can take you to my place then drop you off at home in the morning."
Johnny really didn't want to take the two back to a place that could have intentionally left them behind, hopefully Lincoln was right and their family really just forgot them problem. After all, he could easily get the parents jail time for leaving behind a minor and a infant. Tho claiming that he found the two abandoned and left wandering around in the middle of the night would also lead to the family being pulled apart from one another. That brought a chill to the man's spine.
Lincoln thought for a moment then answered, "I think you can just take us home, I don't want to bother you or anything..."
Johnny steps forward, "It's not a bother." He reaches into his pocket and holds his phone out to Lincoln. "Here, you can call your parents and tell them where you are. If the conversation goes well then I can give you a ride, or if they want to pick you up I can tell them the proper address to come to, alright?"
Lincoln nodded and Lily mimicked her big brother.
Lincoln takes a few steps forward and takes the phone out of his hand to dial his dad's phone number. It took a minute for his dad to pick up,"Hello? Who is this?" Lincoln sighs that he answered, "It's me, dad."
Lynn Sr. gasps, "Lincoln where are you, and who's phone are you calling me from." Lincoln looks at Lily who claps happily, "Someone let me borrow their phone, can you pick me up please?"
Lynn Sr. hiccups, "Where did you go? Especially without telling someone, mister."
Lincoln rubs his foot on the ground nervously, "I went to see the geyser and you drove off and forgot me and Lily."
Lynn Sr. sighs sadly, "Lincoln I'm sorry that I forgot you and Lily."
"What!" From 8 women was heard, what came next was yelling from 9 people all at once cutting each other off.
Johnny, Lincoln and Lily look at the phone until it under end gets quiet. Lynn Sr. gets back on, "Son I'm so sorry weeee- I left you two behind, but I can't pick you up, Vanzilla busted down the second we got home and your sister is to tried to fix it right now, but don't worry I'll call a some to pick you up."
Johnny notices the tears of happiest glimmering in the boy's eyes, his anger from before rises again, "Hand me the phone, Lincoln." Johnny says with a serious tone, the boy complies and before putting the phone to his ear Johnny speaks, "Cover your ears."
Lincoln does as Johnny asks and Lily mimicked her big brother. The man takes a deep breath, "Hello, Mr..."
"Loud. Lynn Loud Sr to be exact, now who is this?"
"My name is Jonathan Velazq—
"Our old free loader...Who is this really?"
Johnny snaps, "Look you stupid son of a bitch, I found your son and daughter wandering around inside Ed's Gas & Snack at 9 PM. Now I'd like a damn good explanation why I shouldn't report you to the police for child neglect within the next five seconds."
"Hey! Calm down, Jon! It's late so why don't you just bring Lincoln back here, our address is-"
Johnny wants to scream into the phone, higher than any note he's ever sung while in the shower just to make this idiot's ears bleed. The nerve of this guy is otherworldly, how could one man just think allowing this to happen is okay?
"Listen here I...will...call...the...police, if you don't tell me the whole story of why your children are wandering around out here."
Lynn Sr. got nervous the girls were looking at him like a cat at a mouse, "What do you mean? Lincoln said it himself he went to the geyser and I forgot about him and Lily now if you-"
"You what? How could you forget a baby and a kid with white hair who wears a orange shirt? I could see your son coming miles away!"
"I'm not the one to blame here he knew the rules and he didn't follow them! You have no idea how much of a troublemaker he can be."
"So fucking what? He's a kid! That's what they do."
Lynn Sr sighs on the other end,
"Just please bring my kids back home."
Johnny looks to Lincoln, "It's gonna be Lincoln's call, I can easily afford to take care of him and the little rugrat for one night, but in good conscious I can't give you children back that you let get left in the woods. If Lincoln chooses to come with home you won't cause him anymore issues for him, alright? You could've easily made a U-turn and picked your fucking kids up."
Lynn Sr. gulps, "Yes I won't cause anymore problems and I won't forget my kids."
Johnny takes a breath, "Good, but if you ever pull shit like that then I will report you to the police and then you will go straight to court, and I have good fucking lawyer and there won't be a bill to big for me to pay if it means one less father is put away for mentally and physically putting kids at risk."
Before Lynn Sr. could reply Johnny ends the call and turns to Lincoln before gesturing to him that it's okay for him and Lily to uncover their ears. "OK Snowball what is it? You want to go home now or tomorrow in the morning?
Lincoln thought through his options, "I want to go home now."
Johnny nodded, "OK let's get you two home and tomorrow I'll make sure shit gets fixed up."
Lincoln winces at the cursing, "Jonathan? Thanks for helping us...I mean usually my sisters are the ones needing the help most of the time."
Johnny smiled and ruffled Lincoln's hair, "No prob bro, even the most helpful person needs help once of awhile."
Lincoln smiled and followed Johnny out of the Ed's Gas & Snack, Johnny grabs Lincoln's snacks and once outside the two boys and baby make it to Johnny's car.
Lincoln looked amazed at the car, sure Lana was the car mechanic, fix it girl, plumber, animal lover, [Seriously Lana gonna have lots of options in the future.] but even Lincoln thought a car with a cool look was well cool.
Johnny opened the trunk of his car and looked for a car seat for Lily, while he was doing that Lincoln decide to sit in the back seat, but as soon he opened the door something pounced on him and Lily.
Lincoln was going to scream, but stopped when he felt something wet touching his face, he saw a dog on top of him switching between licking him and Lily, Lily was giggling cause of the attention and puppy kisses.
Johnny found the car seat and closed the trunk, "Come on Scoob we got a long drive ahead of us and I don't want to be half asleep at the wheel again."
Scooby Doo get off the two and hops back into the car. Lincoln gets up while watching Johnny putting in the car seat for Lily, after the seat was ready Johnny made sure Lily was strapped in safe before sitting in the drivers seat.
Lincoln grew nervous he never got to seat in the front that often especially after the whole "The Sweet Spot" event.
Johnny noticed this and patted the seat, "Hey it's either up front with me or the trunk?"
Lincoln shook his nervousness away am sat down and put his seat belt on and Johnny drove to Royal Woods.
