Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It was the Summer of 1993 bill Clinton was in office, 'got milk' was the famous slogan, Leonardo DiCaprio was the hot hunk of the day, the x-files was the most popular show, and this summer for Lincoln loud was gonna be the bomb! Jurassic Park was coming out within the month of June, and school had been out just a few days ago of may! he was excited as hell,
for he begged and begged til he was bitched slapped by Lori to shut the fuck up. over all the family did agree that yes, Jurassic park was the go-to movie. and Lincoln had his eyes on the toys just a few days ago. it was Friday, and that meant he got a new action figure. so long as his grades were good, and they were. naturally! he marked his calendar, June 11th 1993.
the bus ride home was agonizing! he was looking forward to catch the x-men, and batman the animated series, before the family could go on their usual outing. he turned his head to the screen and spoke to the readers:
"hi, i'm Lincoln loud, and In a family big as mine, we usually go out to eat. we're lucky enough to have this every Friday since mom works over time. now the big question is, do we go to golden coral? or pizza hut?"
the boy sighed and scratched his head.
"pizza is seen as a special treat. but what i'm most anxious is what toy i get to have. i'm thinking aliens from the movie of the same name...funny...as much as i play with the toys, my parents never let me see the movie"
he turned his head and sighed, looking at the houses passing by, waiting for the bus to drop him at the corner near his home.
"another thing we love to do is go to rent some movies, now, block buster is too expensive for us, so we usually go to the 'old man' as we call him, though the place is called action video. he rents out the new releases much cheaper than blockbuster, as i said, as a family as big as mine, we got a budget."
indeed the boy and his family were big and so budgets were made, even if their mother, a nurse working hours made up most of the money in the house hold, their father of course was the stay at home dad, fixing cars, shoes, clocks as a way to make some money.
the bus finally stopped and Lincoln hop out then ran. ran because, damn, he was hungry! and so the vote would begin to see which place they would eat! after that, a trip to target, or wal-mart. then the video rentals. the best any boy loved about Fridays!
"Lincoln!"
he turned and saw Luna, dressed in a white shirt, showing off her belly, blue jeans with the typical torn cuts at the knees, a flannel shirt tied around her waist her all star's shoes hit the side walk. she carried a skate board, which had a skull with a purple Mohawk.
sling over her shoulder was her guitar case. he smiled at his sister as they met up.
"hey."
he said, Luna set her skate board down and reached into her pocket.
"i got something for ya."
this peaked Lincoln's curiosity and when she pulled out a 20 dollar bill, his eyes light up!
"i found it on the side walk. what did i tell ya about always looking down while walking?"
she smiled and handed it to him.
"..f-for me?"
luna rolled her shoulder and rubbed it.
"yeah, sure little man. i figured you could use the extra cash to buy your toys."
Lincoln held it with eyes large as dinner plates, he lean forward and hugged her waist and pressed his face on her breasts.
"thanks luna!"
luna chuckled and ruffled his hair.
"yeah, yeah, it's all good bro"
the two parted and begin walking side by side.
"so. think mom will take us to pizza hut?"
Lincoln gave a shrug as he put the 20 in his pocket.
"maybe not, golden coral has more food, and it does have pizza."
Luna rubbed her neck.
"yeah, but i crave the pizza hut dude."
they nodded in agreement as they near their home.
they could hear jump the jam and could see Lynn jr. in her Chicago bulls jersey throwing hoops in the basket. moving fast. whilst lucky in black shades, white shirt, with a checkerboard-grey color dress. she was just watching Lynn play by herself. when she saw them coming she drop the ball.
"it's about time, queers. mom and dad's waiting!"
Luna frown and steped up fast and grab her by the collar of her shirt.
"i dont you not to call me that!"
Lynn kicked her shins and bolted, she turn as she ran backwards.
"hey, not my fault you like a girl."
luna chased her and she ran inside. luna yelled out.
"that's just a rumor started just cause i hung out with sam!"
lincoln sighed and looked at the readers.
"yeah, it happen about a month ago. now, i know Sam, and she's a good chick, but i know something Luna doesn't"
he looked back and forth and lean in close to whisper.
"Sam likes girls, just not Luna."
he sighed rubbed his neck his head dropped, his eyes shift upward to look at the readers.
"to be honest i'm uncomfortable with my sister dating another girl."
he paused and looked away and sighed heavily.
"or boys for that matter."
there was a long pause. he ran his hand over his bangs and looks down.
"i'm selfish. it's just, whenever she hangs out with sam, chunk, george, i feel left out. when i tag along i feel like a third wheel. we're close. like, tight. ya know what i'm sayin?"
he walked into the house, and up the stairs. he hand gestured to the readers.
"i'm a jealous guy, i admit it. heck, i wasn't soo keen on bobby being with lori, and she and i, we was always hanging out, having a bombastic time, but since she started dating him three years ago, she became kinda mean..."
he open his door, he entered, and drop his back pack. a poster of the teenage mutant ninja turtles on the wall, another with D.A.R.E. and another with transformers. the desk had action figures, tmnt, transformers, battle trolls (they're out of control!) and his nintendo, a TV. bed with sheets decorated in ninja turtle-he was a fan, who wasn't?
"and his sister, Ronnie Anne? i know her from school, she could be a real drag sometimes man."
he moved his finger in a circular moton.
"we dated, but she broke up with me two weeks ago. lucky for me, Luna and Sam had a nasty fight. which caused her to hang out with me more often."
he fished out his 20 and went to his piggie bang to take out some cash he started to count what he had.
"it's good to be with luna. she's like the only sis that understands me. sometimes i wish i wasn't related just so i could date her. it's screwed up, i know. but when you know someone for so long you have this tight connection."
he waved the wad of cash, with a grin on his lips.
"and thanks to my sis, i got 60 dollars! i can buy a nice haul of jurassic park toys, maybe alien verous predator. or even x-men. or if i can wait, i can get a stack of comics!"
he grab his wallet and fold the cash and stuffed it. before putting it in his jeans. he heard his mother calling for every one to come down the stairs.
everyone came down like a herd of animals. their mother wore a pink v neck shirt, pants and white shoes, their father wore a button up shirt and tie the parents of the louds stood before them.
"alright kiddos, you know the drill. voting time."
luna spoke out quick.
"i vote pizza hut!"
Lana and Lola jumped up and down Lana woe a base ball shirt with a 24 number on the right and a base ball cap, Lola wore a pink polka-dot dress. her pony tail swaying up and down. both chanting
"pizza hutt! pizza hutt!"
rita sighed and drumb her fingers on her chin in thought.
"i don't know, pizza hut's pretty pricey. i much rather go to a all you can eat place."
lincoln gestured. as he tried to convinced her.
"but mom, that's twenty bucks. that's basically the same thing with two pizzas!"
lynn sir waved a finger. as he pointed out to his only son.
"ah, ah, ah! it adds up with drinks. besides, wouldn't mc donalds be a better option?"
lori gagged and tossed her frizzy hair aside. "like, that is soooo gnarly and gross! burger king has a much better taste dad!"
"awh common popstar! i gots the munchies for that pan pizza!"
Rita gestured with a hand.
"well, if you have some money to pitch in, maybe we can afford it."
lincoln's eyes shift. he had sixty. ...if he gave out fourty...
"i got two 20's would that be enough?"
her parents looked shocked. unsure at first, lynn sir asked
"are you sure you wanna do that sport? that's your saved up allowence."
lincoln gave a nod and smiled.
"yeah!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
sacrifices were made. sure, he had enough to buy a good haul of whatever toys he had. he only had 25 bucks now. but all around him his siblings enjoyed the meat lovers, and pepperoni pizza. Lincoln was happy he could make this Friday a pizza hut night. Luna slam a hand on his back, making him jump. he looked at her as she winked.
"dude, you are the best bro a sis could ask."
lincoln blushed and lifted his slice and took a bite. the gooy-cheesyness of it, the sausce, the crisp of the peporino. yeah, this was the life. he chewed and looked at luna and spoke.
"i figured we deserve this."
school life was hell. and yeah, pizza night was the best of all nights. more so when you could afford it. the music box was playing groove is in the house. and luna turned her head and bobbed her head to side to side.
"that's my jam man!"
she begin dancing in her seat and taking a bite out of her slice. all the while the girls in their serpete seats chattered ate, laughed and enjoyed themselves. lincoln blushed at luna's seat dancing and looked across from him. luan looked ...sadden.
"is everything okay?"
luan blinked and looked at her younger brother and gave him a weak smile. "i'm fine" she said. but lincoln knew better. after a moment, luna tilt her head.
"uh-oh i know that look...somethin's up."
Luna slide off the bed, and grab luan's hand.
"common sis! let's groove!"
luan stuttered.
"n-no- it's okay! besides we don't wanna get kicked out!"
but Luna wasn't one to listen as she moved her hips, it was like water, the way it moved hypnotizing she bump her hip against luan. "we're gonna dance and have some fun!"
luan wasn't sure but followed along and begin dancing in the middle of the restaurant.
"that's it lulu! dance the blues away!"
luan smile widen as she got into it the two close sister dance to the music. the girls laughed and cheered. lynn sir spoke for them to keep it down.
~The chills that you spill
Up my back keep me filled
With satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's come
I couldn't ask for another (I-I-I-I)
No, I couldn't ask for another (that's right)
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls only the
My supper dish
My succotash wish (sing it baby)
I couldn't ask for another (uh-huh, uh-huh)
(I-I-I-I) No, I couldn't ask for another~
once the music was done the two slide into the booth and luna wrap an arm around her neck.
"you feel better?"
luan sighed.
"a little bit."
she admitted but there was still bugging her. but she wasn't gonna talk. it concern lincoln. but he knew not to press forward for answers. so whatever it was, she looked at luna and lean on her and spoke. luna's eyes widen and looked at her, luan looked away.
"no way, that's great!"
she grab her shoulders
"who is it?"
luan blushed and mummbled. luna lean forward.
"come again?"
luan whispered in her ear. Luna jerked back. and stared at her, luan looked away and looked she was about to cry. Luna's expression soften and rubbed her back.
"it's okay lulu. im just happy you got an eye on someone."
Lincoln was confused, as he took a sipped his Pepsi. after dinner they went to the rentals. the twins picked the brave little toaster, Lincoln stared at the copy of Alien 3. god he wanted to see it.
but then he wanted to see the other two, and wouldn't you know it? they had all three! but there was a limit. only four can be picked. lucy was beside him looking at the selection. she reached and grab a vhs.
"..lucy, i don't think mom and dad will let you watch pumpkin head..."
Lucy held it. as if was touched by god. but her attention turn to Friday the 12th part 3. the puppet master, so many wonderful horrors...unf. but pumpkin head...she hugged the tape.
"lori will cover for me."
Lincoln stared at her then looked at alien. he snatched the tape. and looked at the dark sister. "then i'm taking this." Lucy looked and lift her shades up, her white-blue eyes stared at it.
"...ah. good choice."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"No, fuckin' way."
Lori said with her hands at her hips.
"your too much dad, you'll be pissing yourself like you did when we watched child's play."
lincoln grab her beastie boys t shirt and tugged as he begged his elder sister.
"common lori! please! i promise i can take it!"
lori barked out a laugh
"and have mom and dad ride my ass when they find out you can't sleep? get real lame-ass"
he pointed at lucy.
"but you letting her watch pumkin head! she's only eight!"
lori raised her head and sighed shaking her head.
"that's because she's more mature than you, she can handle a priest being burnt alive in a church."
"spoilers."
lucy sighed heavily. lori muttered-
"sorry..."
lori looked at her albino bitch boy of a brother.
"point is, she doesn't scream like a girl and hides under my shirt. what makes you think you won't do that crap with me with this movie?"
lincoln frown and lower his head and muttered.
"...i fed you pizza..."
lori sneered. so he tried to play that card. she rolled her eyes and gave a heavy huff.
"Fine! but your not going to sleep in my bed if you can't sleep tonight!"
she snatched the tape and tuened around.
"princess bitch boy..."
lincoln was used to the insults. but he was happy. he did a fist pump and followed his sister, following, by her side. all smiles, excited as heck!
"thanks lori you're the best sister ever!"
he said with graditude. lori stopped and glared at him. but her eyes soften and smiled and ruffled his hair.
"it's the least i can do. just promise me you'll handle this."
he nodded and hugged her, lori shoved him off.
"ew, gay."
she rolled her eyes and walked off to meet their parents. Lucy held the pumpkinhead tape. and sighed dreamily. Lincoln shuddered at the image on the tape. pumpkinhead scared the hell out of him. they checked out, and went to the store.
Lincoln got the alien warrior vs predator figure 2-pack and one ripely figure. he had enough for them. he was happy as a clam! now he was gonna watch the original movie!
when the family was done browsing and shopping. they came home the twins went up to their room rushing to see the brave little toaster. while Luna and luan went to their own room to talk of the situation luan had.
lincoln sat with lori and leni and lucy to view his movie. he open his toys and set them on the table. lynn rolled her eyes and walked off.
"i'm going to bed, i got to meet fransico tomorrow morning."
they mumbled words of night.
once the tape was popped in. and the opening begin. he lean close, smiling wide. this was it. this was finally happen this was going to be so awesome!
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
THIS WAS HORRIBLE!
Lincoln was pressed against lori. clinging to her arm. he watched one of the chracter's die in such a horrible way, his groin being stabbed by the alien tail.
the first half scared him.
the scene where the guy was leaning on the table shaking violently as the alien had popped out of his stomach...! Lincoln wasn't prepared, and he willed himself not to urinate himself. but he was shaking and continued to watch. he can do this...he can do this...
he couldn't do this! it wasn't even the end and he ran up the stairs. lori rolled her eyes and sighed she knew her brother was too much of a pussy. lucy turned her head and held up her tape. lori nodded and gestured.
"pop it in."
Lucy hop off and rushed to put the vhs in and rushed back and sat on leni's lap. the three begin to watch the demon of vengeance, murder the living shit out of teenagers. and lucy slowly but surely begin to fall in love with pumpkin head. oh, yeah. she'd love to marry that and have it's abominations for sure.
Lincoln couldn't sleep. lori was right, but he couldn't! but ..maybe... he pulled the covers, holding bun-bun and walking out of his room. he walked the darken hallway scared out of his mind. he entered luan and luna's room. luan was asleep on the bottom bunk, while Luna was on the top. Lincoln climb the latter and crawled towards his sister. Luna awoke and looked at Lincoln in the darkness.
"dude? you a'ight?"
lincoln looked shameful as he hugged bun-bun to his chest.
"i tried watching alien..."
Luna didn't need anymore info. she pulled the sheets and he crawled towards her fast and got comfy curling against her. she smiled and covered him up. and laid her head back on the pillow. eyes closed, her arm drape over him.
"thank you..."
lincoln whispered, feeling warm and safe already. the familiar smell of her scent relaxed him. his eyes fell shut. luna yawned widely and nuzzled his bangs.
"no problamo lil' dude."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
12am. luan was wide awake. she got up, and got dressed quickly, she slowly and sneakily got out of her room. and slowly walked the halls, down the stairs.
the first thing she saw was the blow of the grey tv illuminating the living room. Lucy was curled in leni's lap, who held her, lori and leni's head pressed against each other snoring their mouth open, drooling. lori twitched and mumbled bobby. leni snorted and muttered Lincoln...
luan shook her head. leni was always been the weird one. she knew that dumb blond stared at her brother too long... luan snuck past and open the door quietly, and got out of the house, closing it it just as silent before huffing in a run. her sneakers hot the side walk. the air was damp.
but she knew where to go, she knew because she was waiting for her. and the thought of that girl brought such excitement, such a thrill. it was such a big secret to which Luna knew now. but luan can trust her.
after all, Luna was open minded. and she was glad that she was. five miles out and she was there, in the old skate park, she saw the glow of a cigarette. she knew it was Maggie. her heart pounded, as she slowly walked towards her girlfriend...
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
