"Are you serious?!" Lola exclaimed.
"Yeah I'm serious, now keep your voice down." Lana answered from the vent in their room, she was speaking in a quieter tone then normal.
"You better not be joking Lana Loud!" Lola threatened.
"I'm not not. Now keep your voice down." Lana called back in a harsher tone than last time.
"Did you record it?" Lola asked, complying with Lana's request to keep her voice down.
"No." Lana said, pulling a face at her twin.
"Well why not?" Lola demanded.
"Because we all don't have mics on our tiaras." Lana shot back.
"I only bugged one of them." Lola mumbled. "What are you even doing up there?" Lola asked.
"Looking for Bitey." Lana casually responded.
"Maybe your snake ate them." Lola answered in a monotone voice.
Lana gasped. "El diablo would never do that!" Lana harshly answered back.
"Whatever." Lola answered, walking to her wardrobe, and replacing her current tiara with her bugged one. She then closed her wardrobe and looked in the mirror as she covered the mic with her hair.
"What are you doing?" Lana asked.
"We can't accuse Lucy without any proof. So I'm going to get some." Lola answered without looking away from the mirror.
"How and why?" Lana asked.
"How, Lincoln did something similar for me when he replaced my year book photo and risked himself and Clyde being forgotten, because they wasn't in any group photos, so I'm going to ask discreetly ask him how far he's willing to go for me. As for why. Lucy kept a secret from me, and no one keeps a secret from me." With that Lola left the room.
"Tell him to help me out the vents when you're done!" Lana shouted after her.
With Lincoln.
Lincoln was playing the campaign solo and finishing up the level. As he beat the level he smiled in victory. "Hey Linky." Lincoln looked down to the source of the noise and saw his little sister Lola looking up at him, smiling.
Lincoln smiled back at her. "Hey Lola. What's up?" He happily asked as the games cut-scene played.
"Can I talk to you?" Lola asked.
Lincoln's smile was immediately swapped for look of confusion and concern. "Urm sure." Lincoln said as he paused the next level without ever letting his eyes leave his sister. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing's wrong I've just been thinking about something." Lola said as she climbed on the couch, sitting next to her brother.
"Okay, lay it on me." Lincoln sounded more relaxed knowing that she wasn't having any troubles.
"It's just." Lola started then looking at Lincoln to she had his complete, undivided attention. "Well... why was you so quick to sacrifice yours and Clyde's reputation for the sake of mine? We're not exactly the closest of siblings." Getting evidence or not, a small part of her had always wondered why he did what he did.
"Because your social reputation matters so much more than mine and Clyde's. You said your self your career would be over. As for myself and Clyde we have never relay been popular. I've destroyed and salvaged my social reputation more times then I care to count." Lincoln let out a small chuckle at the memories. "Beside we'd find another way to be remembered, even if only by the most determined girl in the world." Lola couldn't help give Lincoln a large smile and give him a hug.
"Would do the same for the others?" Lola asked.
"Of course!" Lincoln happily exclaimed. returning the hug.
"How far would go for us?" Lola continued to prod.
"To save you from embarrassment, i'd try and take the humiliation, because it doesn't bother me. To keep you safe i'd do anything, because i'd never forgive myself." he said in a quite tone. with that he kissed her and began smiling again and broke the hug. "Anything else?"
"Ermm no." Lola said surprised at how deep the convocation got. "Oh wait! Lana wants you to help her out of the vents." Lola quickly remembered.
Lincoln took his phone out and looked at the time. "I should get Leni to help me make dinner now anyway." He said. with that he picked the controler up and went into power mode, and shut the conceal down. As he walked up stairs Lola followed close behind.
When he walked into Lana and Lola's room he was greeted with a loud and excited "Lincoln!" By Lana.
"What are you doing up there Lana?" Lincoln asked in a happy tone.
"I was looking for Bitey, but now i'm to afraid to come down." Lana admitted in a sad tone. Lola snickered a little but Lincoln paid her no mind.
"It's ok Lana, just go to the hallway vent and i'll meet you there." Lincoln reassured her.
"Okay."Lana answered, before disappearing back to the vents. Lincoln walked out into the hallway with Lola still following him.
When they reached the vent Lincoln calmly called for the oldest twin. "Are you there Lana?"
"Yeah." Lana said quietly.
"Okay, just kick the cover of, we can fix it after dinner." Lincoln casually ordered.
"Are you sure?" Lana asked fearing a month's grounding.
"Of course I am." Lincoln answered. "You're Lana Loud! You can fix it in a second!" Lincoln encouraged her.
"Yeah." Lana said as she began to find her courage. "I am Lana-LOUD!" With that she kicked the vent off and sent it flying into the wall on the other side of the hall, causing a large crack. Lana poked her head out and saw the damage. "That will take more then a second." Lana commented.
Lincoln looked at the crack. "Dang it." was all he said.
"That's one way to put it." Lola said, while also looking at the crack.
"Hey Lincoln." Lana called gaining his and Lola's attention, "You're not going to leave me here now, are you?" Lana asked, nervously.
"As long as you get straight to work on fixing the damage i'll get you down." Lincoln answered.
"Deal." Lana quickly agreed.
"Okay, turn round and begin to climb down." Lincoln called to Lana.
"What! No way!" Lana yelled back.
"Lana you've got to trust me. It's so I can grab you and lower you down." Lincoln said in a comforting tone. "It's going to be okay."
Lana had taken some time to process this. "um If you say so." Lana finally answered. She soon began lowering her bottom half.
Lincoln reached up and grab hold of her waist. "I've got you Lana. I'm going to pull out now alright?" he said still with a comforting tone.
"Let's just get this over with." Lana mumbled.
With that Lincoln began to slowly lower his sister and moved his hands so they was wrapped around her stomach, he then continued until her feet touched the ground until letting go. Lana then turned to face her brother who was crouching before her. "See." Lincoln began in a happy tone. "You're fine."
Lana just dived at him, causing him to fall onto his backside as she wrapped her arms around him. "Thanks Lincoln." Lana said smiling as she snuggled into his chest. Lincoln smiled and accepted the hug as rested his head on hers and wrapped her in his arms.
Lola soon got bored of watching them rest on each other and decided to interrupt. "Remember the deal Lana." Lola said slightly irritated.
Lana instantly pulled away. "Oh right." with that Lana ran down stairs to get her tools, with Lola close behind. With that done Lincoln went into Leni's room.
With Lana and Lola.
The twins were in the garage with Lana digging through the mess, looking for her plastering and wallpapering equipment as well as her toolbox. "Did you get your proof?" Lana asked.
"Getting Lincoln to admit he would take the blame is only half of it. We still need proof that Lucy likes Princess Pony." Lola leaning next to the door, leading into the house.
"Lincoln said something about a poster when he put Lucy's Princess Pony book in her poem book." Lana mentioned.
"Did he now?" Lola spoke in a sinister voice. "Until we have undeniable proof let's keep acting like don't know."
"Yeah sure."Lana spoke, still questioning if her eyes and ears had played a trick on her. Lucy Loud, the goth of all goths, reading a Princess Pony book it just didn't seem right.
Later.
The remaining members of the Loud house begin to get ready for bed. They have had dinner and Lana has fixed the damage caused earlier. Everyone was in the bathroom in their parjamas. Even with a good chunk of the sisters gone they still all sqaballed over the toothpaste.
BOOM!
Everyone stop what they was doing when they heard the thunder, it began to rain as lightning came crashing down. "Ooo, I enjoy the sound of a storm." Lucy said. The twins didn't know what to think of her reaction, but they knew they didn't like it.
"Yeah, but Lily doesn't." Lincoln mentioned and they looked at her to see her frightened. Lincoln picks up his baby sister and lets her rest herself against him. "It's ok Lily, it's only thunder." He comforted her.
Lincoln suddenly felt a tightness around his waist, when he looked down, he saw Lana was holding onto his left and Lola on his right. "Don't leave us Lincoln!" They both said simultaneously. Lily also snuggled deeper into Lincoln, indicating she felt the same way.
Lucy and Lisa paid little to no attention, as they brushed their teeth. Leni was watching the hole scene unfold, finding very it cute.
Lincoln couldn't help but smile as another rumble of thunder and flash of lightning caused his sisters to tighten their grip on him even more. "I don't have enough bed for all of us." Lincoln said, causing them to all almost crush him with how tight they was holding onto him now. "So how about I bring into your room and bring Lily with me." Lincoln struggles to say, the twins and baby loosen their grip on him, but don't let go. "Then we put your mattresses on each side of mine."
"Can I join too?" Leni asked beaming at the small group.
"I do't see why not." Lincoln casually said. He then looked of to Lisa and Lucy, who had now brushed their teeth and now silently watching. "Ether of you want to join us?" Lincoln asked, giving them a small smile.
"Pass." Lisa answered. "The kinetic movement of my mattress will cost me valuable time. In fact, the only reason i'm still present is that you have denied accesses to the door." With that Lincoln moved out the way, with the twins moving with him as another flash and loud grumble came form outside. Lisa walked out the bathroom, thanking them.
"Would't I just scare them more?" Lucy asked, looking at her frightened little sisters. "It would be best if I kept my distance."
"Maybe you could wear a cute little bell!" Leni thought up. "I have plenty of outfits and accessory!"
"I would rather die than wear a bell." Lucy bitterly announced.
"Well, if you ever change your mind, your welcome to join us." Lincoln offered.
"Thank you." Lucy said and with and clap of thunder and clap of thunder, she seemingly vanished.
"Is Lucy invisible!?" Leni exclaimed.
"The fact that isn't crazy just goes to show how strange things are around here." Lincoln commented. He had a few ideas where she was, but he didn't want to ruin the illusion. Lincoln looked down at the twins, who were still attached to him. "Are you going to let go and brush your teeth Lincoln asked, even though he was pretty sure what their answer would be. They both shock their heads. 'It was worth asking.' he thought to himself. "Okay then. Leni take Lily her's and your teeth while I do mine and the twins." Lincoln ordered.
Soon in Lana and Lola's room.
Lincoln had managed to persuade the twins to latch onto Leni while he moved about the mattresses. Lincoln placed his down, Lana's on the right, Lola's on the left and Leni was placed across the top of them all. It was decided Lily would sleep in Leni's arms. He had also placed everyone's pillows and covers "I'm going to cheek on the others then we can go to sleep." Lincoln stated. "So just get comfortable." With that he left the room. The first person he checked on was Lisa.
Lincoln slowly peeked his head through the door and Lisa fidget a little, but made no further sound or movement. deciding to leave it at that, Lincoln quietly closed the door behind him and checked on Lucy.
When Lincoln cheeked on her he couldn't if she was asleep or just lying there, but he decided not to disturb her. so when back to the twins room.
When Lincoln walked in Leni and Lily were already asleep while Lana and Lola were sat up on their mattresses, waiting for him. Lincoln took his place and lied down the twins imminently rested their heads on his chest, Lincoln warped a arm around both of them, wordlessly say goodnight. As Lincoln began to fall asleep he saw something moving in the vents. Well, now he knows Lucy's still awake.
