As the sun rises to illuminate the humble homes in the quiet neighborhood, the usually rambunctious and noisy hallways of the Loud House's remained quiet. For now. The sisters slept soundly in their own rooms and bed, ignorant to one of the room's occupant who was up early.

"Toothpaste,"

"Soap,"

"Towel,"

"Toothbrush,"

Lincoln placed the aforementioned items inside his green backpack that he always uses for school. But instead of the usual stack of books and school supplies, they were instead replaced by hygienic equipment better suited for an outing instead of attending classes.

Why is he packing up?

The clothing and unmentionables and socks were all placed separately inside his brown briefcase, each consisting of a pair just in-case an accident happens. Everything was set. He shut his briefcase closed and zipped up his bag as he was ready to go. He shot a look at the two luggage for a couple of seconds, then his eyes darted to his room, scanning the walls and to his bed, taking in every detail of the place. Lincoln smiled momentarily and sighed.

"I'm going to miss this place," he said to himself.

With zero time to waste, Lincoln slipped his arms one by one into the straps of his green bag and carried the other baggage by hand. He walks out of the room and closed the door behind him quietly, careful not to make a single noise. He made his way downstairs. He felt relieved seeing that his sisters are still nowhere to be seen.

He continued towards his parent's door and stopped just a few inches away from the entrance. As he knocked, a lump formed inside his throat. There was a moment of silence before the door to his parent's bedroom creaked open. His mother stared at him and motioned for Lincoln to enter. They talked for a while until it was time for him to go. His mother handed him a hefty fifty dollars cash as pocket money for his trip.

"Hey Linc," a voice said as Lincoln exits his parent's room. Lincoln raised his head only to see nine sets of eyes staring directly at him. Lincoln yelped, almost jumping back in surprise.

"Guys!? What are you all doing here?" he said as he closed the door behind him.

"Are you really gonna leave us this Saturday!?" Lori complained.

"Wait. Did you guys eavesdropped on us?"

"Duh, doofus. You're really going to leave us here for two days?" Lola whined.

"Well, what could go wrong on a two-day-Lincoln-free environment? Don't you all remember that all of you resolved your disputes while I was gone?" Lincoln said, making them recall that one infamous moment. They all looked at each other knowingly as they recalled that particular day where they fought because of many different things. They were all ashamed except for Lynn who decided to shove the boy up against the wall. She stared right at Lincoln who wasn't exactly expecting this kind of response as an answer. Lincoln closed his eyes and instinctively shielded his face from her.

"Lincoln! That was a long time ago. We did feel guilty about that. The past should stay in the past." Lynn said, her anger slowly turning into an uncharacteristic calm, "Why are you leaving us for two days? I was hoping you could be my partner for our soccer practice."

"I need him to come with me to buy new clothes with Leni," Lori interjected.

"Totes!" Leni nods.

"So we need him more than ever!" Lynn said.

"Hey! Back off, dudes!," Luna interrupted, "I'm going to need my little bro so much! I need Lincoln to review the new songs I wrote so I can pass them at Chunk, ASAP!"

"Well I need Lincoln's chunk of time," Luan laughed. "But seriously. I really need him, too. I need a trusted assistant for an upcoming birthday party! It would be a bummer without him." she followed.

"No… I need his time to make poems for my poetry contest soon! I need his beautiful rhyming skills!" Lucy said.

"Hey, back off to my Lincy!" Lola glared at Lucy before glaring at the others. "I also need Lincy to attend to my tea party and help me on my next pageant," she said as her eyes fell on Lincoln. "If you can't attend to my tea party today..."

Lola's eyes turned into flames. "...You will receive something special." She smirked and laughed like an evil person.

"Hold it right there, beauty freak! But I need Lincoln's help to assist me with taking out Charles and my pets!" Lana said.

"I require our brother's presence to assist me with innovating new hybrid vegetables." Lisa calmly said.

"I'm supposed to be the one who gets Lincoln!" Lynn snapped at her sisters.

"No! I should be the one. I'm the oldest!" Lori reasoned.

"Back off, Lori! Beauty before age!" Lola shot back.

"So, I should be with Lincoln!" Lana jumped in.

They talked and bickered and argued until things got crazy. They all fought in a cloud of dust as their endless ramblings went on to see who gets poor Lincoln. As for Lincoln, who remained in front of his parent's doorway- he watched helplessly at the event unfolding before him. It was a rare thing for them to need Lincoln all at the same time. Even rarer for them to fight because of him.

"Kids! Stop fighting!" The royal rumble came to a halt the moment their mother, Rita, their mother, poked her head out the door to see what the commotion right outside her bedroom is all about. She became annoyed at the noise her daughters were responsible for this early in the morning.

The girls froze in place as their mother sneered at them.

"Girls, you all know that Lincoln has a trip today and you do not want to mess up his opportunity to go on this trip. Let him be in peace and quiet for just a few days. All he wants is to enjoy and have fun with his classmates and friends. Cooperate with each other, please." She paused as she glanced at her only male child. "Anything else to add, Lincoln?" Mrs. Rita asked.

They looked at Lincoln who listened quietly to one of his mother's parental talks. Realizing he needed to say something fast, he prepared to clear his throat. "Umm. Guys, I know you need me a lot, but I really need myself a me time. A me time that I could use to spend with my friends. I really do appreciate you guys missing me, but give me a chance to help myself- to get a little relief away from you guys."

They were all shocked by his last statement, but Lincoln quickly elaborated.

"No, no! Don't get me wrong." He flailing both hands. " But please, understand that I get stressed too. This is my only opportunity to do this and I apologize if I have to reject your calls for help. I'll be back as soon as I feel better. Or at least as soon as I'm back to being the happy and louder Lincoln Loud that you have ever met!"

Surprisingly, what Lincoln said made sense and this dawned on all of their sisters. Instead of continuing their aimless fighting to see who gets Lincoln, they instead moved in to give the biggest and best hug they could offer him.

"Lincoln," Lori sighed, "We're sorry that we made you feel like this. We didn't know you helping us was taking a toll on your health."

"Thanks for being open with us, Lincoln. I think I understand your struggles." Luna added.

It was all well and good until Lincoln realized it was time for him to leave. The short and sweet moment that would have been nice to see on a family album that had to wait.

"Guys!" Lincoln breaks away from the hug, looking frantic. "I'm going to be late for the assembly line!"

Lori made an O shape with her mouth. "Right. Sorry." She scratched her hair.

"Thanks, guys, really. I'm going to miss you all," he said.

"That's only temporary. You'll be back soon before you know it." Lynn shrugged.

Rita couldn't be any happier seeing Lincoln smile at the niceties her daughters are showing. It is, perhaps, one of her most favorite moments she's ever had the pleasure of witnessing. But then, a loud honking sound came from outside.

"Lincoln! It's time to go and you don't wanna miss your trip!" their father, Lynn Sr., called out.

"Right," Lincoln chuckled to himself. "Well, I guess this is it. I'll be back on Monday. I love you all!" he quickly turned around to leave. Outside their family wagon, Vanzilla, and his dad who was on the driver's sit waited for him.

Rita and the girls watched on their porch to see Lincoln enter the family wagon. Lincoln grinned at them from the window. "See you, guys. Bye!" he waved his hands at them as they took off.

"Bye, Lincoln!" Mrs. Rita and her daughters said in unison.

Afterwards, a strange feeling of peace washed over them. Rita sighed as she felt glad at the turn of events. Her daughters, on the other hand, felt fear.

"Bro! Please come back as soon as possible! We really need you so much!" Luna internally hoped.

"Oh, dear brother, I don't know what will happen in your absence. I don't want it to happen again," Lisa thought.

"I wish you'll stick to your promise because you're up for a big test once you're back," Luan thought and sighed.

"I think I might need a spell book to fast-forward those two days. I don't wanna see this happen again. Lincoln, please take care of yourself." Lucy said in her thoughts.

"I really want Lincoln to come back early, but I think I could live with this. What if something bad happens?" Lynn bit her lip as she thought of this. "Oh, Linc. We need your help really, really bad."

"I'm going to miss your adult-like attitude already, Lincoln. Please come home early or you'll face the worst." Lola felt sad in her thoughts.

Leni struggled to think of something. "Wait. What was I going to say?" she rubbed her chin, trying to remember the words. "I got it! Please, Lincoln, take care of yourself. And take care of us when you're back."

The uncertainty of the situation began eating at them. They couldn't help but think on what will happen now that Lincoln Loud is away for a couple of days.
