Chapter 1: New home

It was a sunny day in Royal Woods. The birds chirped and the children played in the park. So everyone felt good. However we can't tell this about the Loud family who wasn't very happy because it was the 15th anniversary of the time when Lincoln run away.

Before he did that he pretended that he was bad luck that caused his family locked him out from the house. He realized his mistake and tried to fix it but nobody believed him. His last resort was when he borrowed a mascot suit and went to his sister baseball match. His idea worked for the first 2 minutes but after he heard his parents sold his bed and dresser. It was oil to the fire when nobody let him out the suit because now everybody thought he was good luck, but only if he wears the suit. It was humiliating to go to school in that suit. Everybody laughed at him, made photos which they uploaded on the internet and of course bullied him sometimes even he was beaten by an enemy baseball team. It was even worse when they took him to their events, like concerts, pageants, open nights etc. 2 weeks later Lincoln had enough. He told them since he wore the suit only bad luck happened to him. The others didn't believe him that's why he took off the suit and they saw his wounds. Everybody was shocked and tried to say sorry but Lincoln didn't listen to them he went to his room, closed the door and broke every camera there because he didn't want Lisa or Luan to spy on him. They tried say sorry in the next 2 days but Lincoln only said leave him alone. The next day they tried again but for some reason Lincoln didn't answer. They thought he was still sleeping so they waited a few hours. When they tried again he didn't answer again. Everybody started to worry so they went into Lincoln's room.

When they were inside they saw it was empty. Lincoln was nowhere. They started to look for any trace that could tell where he could go. Then they found a letter with his mobile phone and a little thing that looked like a chip. When Lisa saw it she knew it was the tracker that she put into everybody. Later they found a tweezers and some bandage too in his bin. The letter was about that Lincoln had enough about that he was blamed for everything and they pointed at him everytime when something wrong happened. Lincoln confessed in his letter that it was Lucy who clogged the toilet with that Princess Pony book or it was the girls's fault that they were banned from the supermarket etc. And this bad luck incident were the last drop. He run away and hoped they would never meet eachother ever again. When they finished the letter everybody have already cried. They knew they had to do something so they called the police then made posters and put them out in the town but nothing happened. Fortunately they could concealed every facts that could send anybody to the prison, but the remorse was a worse punishment than any prison.

The hours became days, the days became weeks then one month later still nothing. They tried everything but Lincoln could be the other end of the World by now. 6 months later everybody started to give up hope. Everybody blamed themself but they knew it wouldn't bring back Lincoln if they started to sorry themself. So they continued the searching but after a year they were out of options. Because they couldn't do anything, they hoped for a miracle. But nothing happened.

15 years have passed since Lincoln run away and everybody lived her life. Lori became a secretary in a computer corporation. She was single because Bobby broke up with her when he heard what happened to Lincoln. After that Lori couldn't find anybody who was as perfect as Bobby like she described it. Leni learned fashion design in Paris and when she came home she worked for some famous fashion corporation as designer. She was single too but we could say the same thing about the others too. After the bad luck incident everybody broke up with the girls and after that they didn't really tried to find somebody. They thought it was the best punishment for them, the solitude. Luna became a rock star but after 10 years she finished it because she had enough the tours. After this she opened a music shop where she sold music instruments, cds and accessories. Luan tried to continue her Funny Business but after some years she finished it because she couldn't really laugh after Lincoln left them. She tried a lot of things but after she find her profession. She created movie tricks. She had the craftmanship and creativity for it so it was perfect for her. That's why she lived in LA. Lynn couldn't play any sports for a time but after she realized it was the only thing which she could do so she continued. She played in the national girl soccer team and the State girl baseball team too. But after she broke her leg in 2 places in a soccer match she had to finish her career. After she recovered she returned to Royal Woods and became a gym teacher in the elementary school moreover she trained the town's baseball team too. Lucy became more darker and more sadder than before. She had to go to therapy for some years she recovered enough to live her life. It was good because with this nobody had to worry about she kill herself or something similar. She became a professional writer. She wrote poems and books which she published. Most of them were bestsellers. Lana started her own car mechanic venture, where she not just repaired the cars but made personal changes on the cars, like new painting, better engine etc. Lola continued her life with pageants. She was even was Miss America once. But 14 years later she thought she won every competition she wanted to win that's why she opened a dance studio where she teached the girls moreover she was an assistant organizer when a pageant was in the town. Lisa became a scientist but everyone knew it would happen. She worked for the government and when she had free time she gave lectures in the university. And finally Lily. Because she was only 16 years old she still lived with her parents but she wanted to move away as soon as she could. The fact is when she heard what they did with Lincoln she was very angry. For a little time she haven't spoken to anyone. She planned when she is 18 years old she would go to an art university where she would become a professional painter. Rita and Lynn Sr. were happy because all of their children had their own life except Lily of course but hoped they would find real happiness. However what they really hoped for was that Lincoln was alright and was happy somewhere.

From the Loud family only Luan doesn't live in Royal Woods. The others stayed here or returned here and they didn't live too far from eachother too. So they often met eachother, when it happened they talked about what happened themself while they drunk a cup of coffee. They lived without any real problem but deep down they wanted to see Lincoln again and say sorry for every bad thing they did.

On a Saturday morning a woman rang at Lori's house. She opened it and saw a middle-aged woman with long brown hair. Sho wore grey skirt with white shirt and grey jacket. With her was a little girl. She wore an orange shirt, dark blue skirt and dark blue vest. On the back of th evest was a white flower embroidered. When Lori saw her she could tell she was 6 or 7 years old. But what was very weird she had white hair moreover she was sad, very sad like she have just lost her favourite cat.

''Good morning Ms. Loud. My name is Samantha Freeman, I came from the Child Services. Can we come in?" Asked Samantha and when Lori heard the word child services her blood have just frozen because she started to realize who this girl was. ''Sure, please." Said Lori and both of them came in. ''Ms. Loud I want to speak to you between 4 eyes, can she sit down in the living room?" Asked Samantha and Lori only nodded. ''Sure there is the TV if she wants to watch some cartoons." Said Lori then Samantha said. ''Sweetie go watch some TV while I speak with Ms Lori alright?" Said Samantha and the girl only nodded then left. Lori and Samantha went to the kitchen and sat down. ''I am sorry I had to disturb you this early but it is a very serious case. By now I think you realized who she is." Said Samantha and Lori answered with some sadness. ''She is my niece isn't she?" Asked Lori and Samantha only nodded. ''Yes she is. Her name is Lala Loud and your brother Lincoln Loud's and his wife Mary Loud's daughter. Now she is 6 years old and needs a new home." Said Samantha and it confused Lori. ''What do you mean she needs a new home?" Asked Lori. ''By our file your brother run away 15 years ago, correct?" Asked Samantha. ''Yes, why?"Asked Lori with sadness. ''Didn't he try to make a contact anyone from your family?" Asked Samantha and now Lori was sadder. ''No after he run away we didn't heard anything from him. He just disappeared." Said Lori and Samantha looked down, then looked up with eyes which was full of sadness. ''What happened to my brother?" Asked Lori who was almost crying. ''I am very sorry you have to hear it from me but your brother and his wife died in a car accident." Said Samantha and when Lori heard the word ,die, something have just broken in Lori and started to cry. ''How did it happen?" Asked Lori. ''A drunken man drived into them when they went home. Lincoln died immediatly while his wife died on the way to the hospital. Fortunately Lala had minor wounds and some sprains in her leg and arm. The drunken driver survived too but he would be in prison for a long time, I promise that. His trial will be held the two weeks from now if you want to come." Said Samantha but Lori knew it wasn't enough to send that crimminal to the prison. Because he was alive and Lincoln wasn't.

Lori didn't say anything for a few minutes. However it wasn't suprising, she has just learned she had a niece moreover his brother and sister-in-law died. Before she could ask anything Samantha continued. ''I know it is much to take in but I have to ask you can you take care of Lala?" Asked Samantha then Lori looked at her with some confusion. ''I don't know, I work a lot and, and,…..she doesn't even know me. What about his mother's family?" Asked Lori then Samantha looked at her with sad eyes again. ''Her mother was raised by only her grandmother and she can't take care of her because she is in hospital. She has cancer and as far as I know she doesn't have much time, a year, at best 2. And when she heard what happened her condition became worse. That's why only you and your family can take care of her. If nobody wants her then she will get into the system and that's the last thing I want to do with this little girl. I know your family's story and you blame yourself because Lincoln run away. However here is the chance to forgive yourself and fix that mistake. That's why I beg you adopt her and help her move on." Said Samantha with some tears in her eyes. The truth is she liked Lala, she was a nice and sweet little girl who liked laugh, but now her smile disappeared and Samantha wanted to make her smile again. ''Before I make my decision can I ask you some thing?" Asked Lori with a quiet tone. ''Sure ask away." Said Samantha then waited for the questions. ''What was their work before the accident?" Asked Lori then Samantha smiled and said. ''Lincoln was comic illustrator and writer, he publicated a new comic book series ,The new adventures of Ace Savvy,. It is very famous even my son can't put it down. Mary have just started to work as a nurse in a hospital. She loved her job because she liked helping others." Said Samantha then Lori asked another question. ''Were they happy?" Asked Lori with pure sadness. ''Yes they were really happy. They married when they 20 years and by that time Lala has already born. They lived in a lovely house with a nice garden. I heard when Mary had to learn or work then Lincoln did every house work and played with Lala." Said Samantha then Lori asked the last question. ''What should I know about her, I mean what doesshe like and the other things?" Asked Lori. ''She likes playing video games, reading comics, cooking, playing ball games etc. The truth is I couldn't talk to her much because when she heard about her parent's death she just closed into herself and didn't speak much." Said Samantha then waited for her answer but deep down she knew the answer. ''Alright I will adopt her but I have to tell you when I am working I can't take her with me so I have to take her to my parents or one of my sister. It isn't a problem?" Asked Lori. ''As long as she stays with your family I think it's not a problem." Said Samantha and Lori nodded.

''Thank you for doing this, I am sure she will recover and you and your family will be able to forgive yourself." Said Samantha and Lori only gave a sad smile because it was hard to believe for her family that they could forgive themself. ''Now come I will introduce you to Lala." Said Samantha and they went to the living room. ''Lala sweetie I want you introduce to your aunt." Said Samantha but Lala only looked at her with confusion. ''Hi Lala, you have a nice name, my name is Lori Loud." Said Lori with a smile. ''Daddy said that he doesn't have any sister." Said Lala and now Lori was shocked and sad. Lala didn't even know she had 10 aunts and grandparents from her father's side. Lori knew she had to say something before the situation became more awkward. ''You know I and my sisters made a mistake and we hurted your father. Since that we haven't really talked to eachother. And I think he lied to you about us because he was still mad at us." Said Lori with some lie. She knew if she told her the whole truth she would have never trusted her. ''How many aunts I have?" Asked Lala. ''You have 10 aunts including me and your grandparents too." Said Lori with a nervous smile. ''Wow that's a lot of aunts. Can I meet them?" Asked Lala. ''Sure, the next weekend we visit everybody ok?" Asked Lori and Lala nodded. ''Ms Loud most of Lala's clothes still in her old house and I don't know if you have a room for her so….." Said Samantha but Lori interrupted her. ''I have a spare room and tomorrow we will take everything she needs. If she wants it we will take her whole bedroom." Said Lori and Samantha chuckled and for her surprise Lala giggled a little. ''Alright then tomorrow I will come again and I take you to the house. Can you find somebody who can help us?" Asked Samantha and Lori nodded. ''Yes one of my sisters is very good at this so she can help." Said Lori then Samantha said bye to Lala and left.

''Come Lala I will show you your new room." Said Lori and Lala only nodded and followed Lori. When they reached the room Lori opened the door and went in. It was a very simple room, there was a bed, a dresser, a desk with a chair and a nightstand with a lamp. ''I know it isn't much now but when you have your things it will be better. If you want it we will paint it too ok sweetie?" Asked Lori and Lala only nodded. ''Alright I have to call some people and after we will go to eat some lunch." Said Lori and Lala only nodded again. ''Alright I will leave you alone or you can go back watching the TV." Said Lori but this time Lala anwsered. ''I would like to stay here and rest a bit if it is alright?" Asked Lala and Lori smiled and said. ''Sure. I will call you when we leave." After she said that she left the room and left the poor girl alone. She returned to the kitchen and she called her parents right away. ''Hi Lori what's the matter honey?" Asked her mother who received the call. ''Mom I have to tell you something important." Said Lori who was near to cry again. ''What happened dear?" Asked Rita. ''A woman came to me with a little girl a half an hour ago. The little girl's name is Lala Loud." Said Lori and when Rita heard the name her heart just skipped a beat. But then Lori continued. ''She is Lincoln's daughter. And…." Said Lori but Rita interrupted here. ''Lincoln's daughter? Then you know where he is?" Asked Rita and Lori answered, but she was about crying. ''Mom, Lincoln and his wife died." Said Lori and started to cry. When Rita heard that her son died she started to cry too. They cried a few minutes then Lori continued. ''Now I take care of Lala but I would like you to help me with her because of my work. And next weekend I will take her to you to introduce her to everybody." Said Lori then Rita answered. ''Ok honey now I have to go I have to tell your father what happened." Said Rita then both of them said bye and hung up the phone. Lori cryed a few more minutes then called her sisters except Lily because she was sure her mother would tell her the news. When she called her sisters and told them the news everybody cryed. However everyone wanted to meet their niece and promised they would come next weekend, even Luan promised to travel back from LA. Lori asked Lana to come over tomorrow because she needed her with Lala's things and to paint her room.

When Lori finished the time was 12 o'clock and she thought it was time to go out eating somthing. ''Lala honey come we will go out eating something." Said Lori and after a few minutes Lala came out of her room. However her eyes were red and puffy. Lori was sure she was crying. Without any warning Lori hugged the girl and said. ''You don't have hide your feelings, you can cry whenever you want. I can't even imagine what you are going through but I am here if you want to talk about it." Said Lori then she and Lala started to cry again. ''I miss them so much. It's not fair I lost them." Said Lala while she cryed. ''I didn't know your mom, but your father was my little brother and there wasn't a day in the last 15 years when I didn't thought about him. But now you have 10 awsome aunts and we will help you ok?" Asked Lori and Lala nodded. ''Now what would you say if we go to the Burpin' Burger to have lunch?" Asked Lori and then Lala smiled. ''Yay Burbin' Burger, Daddy took me there sometimes, it's a cool place." Said Lala then they left to eat.

After they ate they went to a comic book store and Lori bought some new ones for Lala, after that they went home. At home Lala asked about Lori and her sisters. Lori smiled and told her some good stories about them, especially Lincoln and his adventures. After that Lori asked about her. Lori knew she liked playing video games, reading and cooking but she wanted to know more. Lala said she liked watching The Dream Boat, helping her mother cleaning, shopping new clothes and learning new thinks. After she finished it Lori realized she really was Lincoln's daughter but a lot of thinks came from her mother too. At night Lori read a bed time story for Lala from one of her old books she kept for some reason. While Lala slept Lori called her boss to tell him the situation and to took out some days. He gave her a whole week but after that she had to come back. Lori said alright and goodnight then hung up the phone.

The next day Lana came to meet Lori and Lala and help them with the moving. She knocked and a few minutes later Lori opened the door. ''Hi Lana come in" Said Lori then Lana said hi and came in. ''So where is the princess?" Asked Lana then she heard the door and Lala came out of it. ''Good morning Aunt Lori." Said Lala then she saw Lana. ''Good morning." Said Lala then Lana went a little closer but Lala didn't know her that's why she stepped back a little. ''Hey don't be scared my name is Lana, one of your aunts. I came to help you to move in and paint your room. Say what's your name?" Said Lana then Lala answered. ''My name is Lala Loud." Said Lala then Lana answered. ''Cool name it's similar to mine." Said Lana then she examined her a little then said. ''You look just like Lincoln. You have his hair for sure." Said Lana and Lala blushed a little. ''Because of my hair I got the Lala name. It means tulip. Mommy and Daddy liked to call me white tulip. My Mommy embroidered that white tulip on my vest too." Said Lala with a little smile. When Lana and Lori heard this story they thought it was beautiful.

After ten miutes Samantha arrived too, then they went to Lala's old home. Everything was there where Lala and her family left. Lala said she wanted to take home her old furnitures because she liked them. Lana said it's not a problem, after an hour she disassembled them and put them into her van. While she did that Lori and Lala put everything else into boxes and suitcases. 4 hours later they were ready and went home but before that they went to the DIY shop to buy some white and yellow paint. When they were home they brought out every furniture and took them to garage. After that Lana started the painting. She was fast and skilled so she finished it in 3 hours. But it needed a whole day to dry so Lori gave her room for Lala. While Lana did the painting Lori signed every paper and adopted Lala officially.

At night Lala tried to sleep in Lori's room but she couldn't do it. She left the room and went to the living room where Lori watched the TV. ''Aunt Lori." Said Lala then Lori got up and walked to her. ''What are you doing here Lala, you should be in bed." Said Lori with some worry. ''I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you?" Asked Lala and Lori smiled then said. ''Sure honey, I turn off the TV then I go." Said Lori then turned off the TV. She thought she was just like Lincoln when he was little, because everytime he couldn't sleep he would come to her to sleep. When both of them were in the bed Lala cuddled to Lori just Lincoln did then some minutes later she slept. Lori smiled and hugged her then kissed her forehead. ''Good night Lala. I promise everything will be alright." Whispered Lori then she closed her eyes.

The next day Lana furnished Lala's new bedroom and when everything was ready they went out having lunch. After the next few days Lori spent almost every minute with Lala. They played video games, watched The Dream Boat, cooked, went to the park etc. And when the weekend came they went to Rita and Lynn Sr.'s house. ''Aunt Lori, do you think the others will like me?" Asked Lala from the back seat. ''Of course they will. Who wouldn't love such sweet girl like you." Said Lori then Lala nodded. 10 minutes later they arrived. They came out from the car then Lori said. ''Well here we are. The Loud house.
