Loop 2

Lincoln woke up with a gasp.

Leni then come to Lincoln and tell him: "Lincoln! Are you coming to my charity fashion show? It's for a great cause: oysters without pearls."

But then, a paranoid Lynn come in and warm Leni: "Leni! No! He'll ruin your fashion show just like he ruined my winning streak! HE'S BAD LUCK!"

Lincoln then said: "Oh, come on on Lynn! That is absolutely false." He look at the readers. "Let's roll. Maybe you are bad luck, Lynn. No one woudn't want Leni to trip, or jam a zipper, or break a heel..."

This statement caused Leni to gasp. "The horror! Maybe you should sit this one out, Lynn."

"What, but he just-" Lynn was about to reply but Leni was leaving. So is Lincoln, who was doing a mischievious smirk.

Now in the living room, Lincoln is turning the TV on. He later get pounced by Lana

"Hey, Linc, you coming to my alligator-wrestling match?" Lana said

Lincoln pulls Lana away from him "I will, but don't invite Lynn, though! She could make your alligator trip, or jam its zipper, or break a heel!"

"What?"

"She's bad luck. She cost the victory to her own team."

"Uh...noted. Lynn won't come. I'm wrestlin' my first 200-pounder, and I can't take any chances."

Lincoln then convice the rest of the family about Lynn's bad luck. However, once he come across Lisa, it take a different turn.

"Pshaw. There's no such thing as bad luck. There's only science. All else is hooey." Lisa scoff

Lori then come with her golf clubs. "Lisa literally has a point. Lynn's coming to my tournament, Lincoln. This family supports each other."

The aformentioned sister then come toward Lincoln, who was approaching Lori, with a deathly glare and said "You were trying to convice everyone I'm bad luck? Well, you gonna get some bad luck, twerp."

Lynn pushed Lincoln and was about to attack him. But before he hit the ground, he took Lori's clubs and trip over in the bathroom with a lot of clanging going on, he comes out with a dented club. "Whoops!"

"My sand wedge!" Lori said, then she glare at Lynn "You are bad luck! You are literally uninvited to my tournament."

Lisa also glare at Lynn and said : "I retract my earlier statement. BACK, YE CURSED WRETCH! And don't even think about attending my lecture series on thermodynamics!"

Lincoln come toward her and said: "Too bad for 'ya". He then smirk at the readers. At that same time,Lynn glare at him.

Later, the family, sans Lynn, are leaving the house to attend the big outings.

"Come on, guys. It's time for my gator-wrestling match." Lana said excited.

"You're making a big mistake, family. A big one." Lynn shouted to them. However, by then, they were already in the van, making her warning gone in deaf ears. She decided to go to her room, she though about finding some dirt on Lincoln by going to his room. Only to find out it was somehow locked this time.

"Dang it!" She punched the wall in anger and left.

"They had it all wrong, I can't be bad luck!" Lynn said while going to her room, only trip on a ball and fall into the ground. "Maybe I am."

The next day, Lincoln found Lynn eating her breakfast in the living room. Though, he prefers to not look at her. At night, the family planned to watch a movie, when Lynn wanted to come, she's been halted.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast, Jr. I wish you could come, but with your bad luck, who knows what could go wrong?" Lynn Sr. said

"The movie could sell out!" Lola said

"I could get stuck behind some lady with a beehive!" Luna said

"They might run out of popcorn!" Lincoln said

"Someone could get scalded with molten butter!" Lisa said

"I didn't even think of that one!" Sr. said in shock "Sorry, kiddo."

"Oh...no problem. You guys have fun." Jr. said sadly

"Don't worry. I'll tell you how the movie ends." Leni said

Everyone leaves Lynn home alone. Though, Lincoln got a bit suprised by her change of mood. Later, when they were about to go to sleep, Lincoln found a note on Lynn's room.

Sorry, Lynn, but you can't sleep here tonight. We can't just risk it. It read. Then, Lincoln hear the back door being closed. Knowing where Lynn end up, he start to feel some guilt.

The next day, Lynn, who slept in the backyard outside was trying enter through the back door, only for it being locked.

"Guys? I think you accidentally locked me out!" Lynn said

Her breakfast is shoved through the doggy door and she peeks through the window on the door. Where she found the famly on a meeting. When she heard about a trip to the beach, her head through the door.

"We're going to the beach tomorrow?" Lynn said

"Ooh, gosh. Sorry, Jr. Not you. Someone could get attacked by a shark." Sr. said

"Or stung by a jellyfish." Luna said

"If that happens, I call peeing on the wound!" Lana said

Lincoln made no comment on this.

Jr. was then shoved outside by Lola. Lincoln's guilt was rising by then.

"It can't be worst than what I had, right?" Lincoln said to the viewers.

"Actually, it is." Lucy said, suddendly appearing near Lincoln, frightening him.

Two were then at Lynn and Lucy's room, though, the former' stuffs are missing, leaving the latter as the sole preoccupent.

"What happen there?" Lincoln asked

"Since yesterday, she gave away her things, even her sport equipments." Lucy answers

"Is that why she didn't invite us to her matches"

"That because she retired from them, in fact she gave up on all sports."

This statement shocked Lincoln and know that this has gone too far.

"You did save us from cursing our family, though." Lucy said with a smile "And we're grateful for that, Lincoln".

Lincoln was less than pleased, however, as the point of this payback was to give Lynn a glimpse of how it feel to be on the receiving end of the superstition, not giving up on her passion.

"What have I done I never wanted this to happen." Lincoln said in horror, then left the room in panic to go to his own. "I don't want Lynn to lose her personality, I just want her to stop blaming me for being bad luck. I want someway to not make us bad luck."

Fortunately, it seem his wish got granted as the light come back.
