"I was the first one," Lincoln showed the remote in his hand. "So we'll watch my show."

"Sigh. I'm not goinig to watch the TV" his little goth sister answered.

"Um... what do you want then?" Lincoln's brotherly instinct told him forget about the show and the boy did.

"We had a test in the school today. I liked one question. May I ask you something?"

"Well, yes, I think. I mean, finding the answer can't be too hard for me. Can it?"

"It's really easy, to tell the truth. Well, suppose me and the sisters are gonna die and you can save one of us. Just one. Who would it be?"

"Oh my... you meant that test. Well, Leni."

"Sigh. Thank you, big brother."

Lincoln saw that Lucy became very sad and he was really surprised.

"Hey, what's wrong, Luce?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, please. Don't play games with me, Lucy. I do see that something's wrong. Just tell me, Luce. Please. Please with a cherry pie."

"Sigh," the Loud poet answered. "I told you it's nothing. It's just... Well, I've already tested all other sisters. All but Lily, of course. None of them said my name. Et tu."

"What!"

"Et tu is Latin. Means 'and you too'. A figure of speech."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Now the tv show didn't exist for the Loud boy. "Lucy, that's just a stupid test. It doesn't mean anything. We love you."

"Yes, you do, I know. It's just that you don't prefer me."

"Ha!"

"What is so funny, Lincoln?"

"First of all, Luce, when I was same age as you I tested sister like that."

"I remember. I said 'Lisa' then. She was the youngest."

"Yes. Leni was the one who said 'Lincoln'. And I was just paying my debt. Qui pro quo. Latin, as well. But that's not the funny thing. So, you said that nobody prefered you. How wrong you are. Because I do. Forever and always."

"Nice try, Lincoln."

"It's not a try, Luce! I can prove it. You are the very unique of all of my sisters."

"Am I? What do you mean?"

"Yes. Think of it, Luce. When I was born I had five girls who were my big sisters. When the twins, Lisa and Lily were born I had four more little sisters. Nothing special for me. But when you were born I stopped being a little brother and became an older one. See? Lucy, Being my the very first little sister you turned my world upside down. And nothing can change it. You came on the planet and gave me something I've never had before. Now tell me it does not make you special, unique and... and... and priceless for me."

Of course Lincoln couldn't see through the black bang but he felt that his goth sister was staring at him with wide open eyes.

"Wow. I mean, sigh. I've never thought this way I must say." Lucy came to her big brother.

The siblings hugged each other.

"Stupid test," they said simaltaneously.
