Well I have to admit, my last chapter has actually been my most successful first chapter of all time. I'm talking hits, follows, and faves wise. Kinda light on reviews, but oh well.

Not much to add here, but I'm going to try my hardest to make the girls seem a little bit more naive due to them being a bit younger in the story.

Lori glared at the two girls on the couch and at Lincoln who was still clutching Luna's arm as if it was his prized bunny toy, Bun Bun. Tears were already beginning to slide down from his eyes and was beginning to take heaving breaths, indicating he was about to cry.

Lori growled at the two guilty looking girls and said, "Well I hope the two of you are proud of yourselves. Now our little brother is going to have nightmares because of your curiosity. Didn't you think there were reasons why I told you not to watch them?"

Luna tried to stand up from her seat and said, "Okay okay I get it, we screwed up. We disobeyed your orders and now we're paying for it."

Luan looked at Luna like she was offended and said, "What we? I told you to change channels and you didn't. You're the one paying for it now."

Luna could feel Lincoln tugging at her arm and knew that Luan had a point. She could feel her sleeve start to get a little wet as she feel Lincoln was starting to rub his eyes against her arm.

"Hey Linc, it's okay bud. You can calm down, the video is over," Luna said while rubbing the top of his head.

But her words did nothing as he didn't seem to react to what she had said. She doubted that he could even hear her, he was just scared that bad.

Luan glared at Luna and said rather sarcastically, "Well that sure worked. Got any other bright ideas? Cause I don't see any lightbulbs going off."

Lori groaned and rolled her eyes as the girls began to banter back and forth. What was going on between them was not her problem as all she really cared about was making sure that Lincoln wouldn't keep her up half the night with his bad dreams. But at the same time she didn't want her parents to know that she had neglected her duty to look after her siblings as she had been instructed to not let any of them see any videos of those movies. As much as she'd rather let the two duke it out, she still wanted to get the matter resolved before their parents got home.

She put herself between the two shouting girls and said, "Okay that's enough fighting you two. Just look at Lincoln, you're scaring him even more."

It was true, Lincoln had begun to shiver again as he now looked between the third and fourth eldest children in the family. Whenever the girls would begin to argue, he'd try to distance himself away from them as he didn't like the arguments. It was especially bad now with his fears reaching a tipping point and the two of them squabbling like two year olds didn't help matters at all. At the very least though, they had his attention now.

Both Luna and Luan cast looks of guilt at the young boy and frowned at their own behavior.

"Look let's just try to fix this before mom and dad get home. If they find out about this, I'll never be left in charge again," Lori said as she began to shed tears of her own.

Luna was not amused and said, "I don't see the problem there."

Lori growled back at her in response.

"Let's just fix this okay. Otherwise Lincoln will keep us all awake all night. That includes the two of you," Lori reminded them.

That was enough to convince them to at least try. First thing was first, they had to get Lincoln to let go of Luna. The first thing that they tried was to do was calm him down enough to get him to at least loosen his grip on her.

"Okay Lincoln, I know you're scared right now, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Hey maybe a joke would help. Want to hear it?" Luan asked while patting his back.

Lincoln looked up at her and even though he still had tears in his eyes, he nodded his head gently.

Luan sighed in relief and said, "Okay here we go. What did one hat say to another?"

Lincoln didn't know and shrugged.

"He said, you stay here and I'll go on a head. Hahaha! Get it?" she responded with the punchline.

Lori and Luna groaned at Luan's attempt at humor. But it seemed to work a little as Lincoln giggled a little. Luna could feel his grip on her loosening on her arm a bit. She was just about to pry him off, when another horror commercial started started.

The first thing that they heard was a woman's scream and they saw it was a commercial about special deals on horror movie collections. It was no movie trailer, but the sudden scream and the frightening images on screen were enough to make Lincoln resume his iron tight grip on Luna's arm. Lori stared back at the TV with her mouth agape and her astonishment quickly turned to anger.

"YOU GUYS KEPT IT ON THE CHANNEL?! WHY DIDN'T YOU CHANGE OR TURN THE TV OFF?!" she screamed out loud.

Lynn raised her hand from the floor and said, "To be fair, I was watching it."

Luan saw the commercial and said, "Well I guess that scream is one way to get your attention. I should try that in my act some time."

This time Lori wasn't taking any chances and turned the TV off.

"Hey I was watching that," Lynn complained.

She was about to argue more, but then she saw the glare that Lori was giving her with steam rising off the top of her head.

"I'll watch it another time," Lynn said nervously and back down.

Lori scoffed at Lynn's response and looked back at Luna who was starting to look uncomfortable with Lincoln's clinging. Luan's idea had worked once so she tried another one of her lame jokes. Sadly this time it didn't work out as he didn't even look up at her this time.

Luan shrugged and said, "Well I gave it my best shot."

Lori groaned and said, "Anyone have any other bright ideas?"

Lynn raised her hand and Lori responded by saying, "Anything that doesn't involve anything physical?"

And with that, Lynn lowered her hand. As she did however, Luna suddenly got an idea herself.

"Oh I have an idea. We can try coaxing him to let go," Luna suggested.

"Coaxing? What do you mean?" Lori questioned.

"Well remember when you were seven and refused to go to the doctor? Remember what mom and dad did to get you to go?" Luna asked.

Lori did remember. They had coaxed her out from under her bed with some sweets. In her mind it was a long shot, but if it could calm their brother down before their parents returned, she was up for it.

"Alright. So what do we use?" she asked everyone.

That'll do for this chapter. Next chapter they'll try Luna's idea and we'll see what happens.

I know some of the chapter seems a little rushed, but remember I'm basing this off of a memory that's nearly twenty years old so there's bound to be a few holes somewhere.

Until next time, please watch what you let your siblings watch on TV.
