Lincoln woke up the next morning around noon. He expected the hallway to be filled with noise per usual, but to his surprise, no one was there. He knocked on each of his siblings bedroom doors and got no answer from any of them. He then decided to go downstairs to see if they were there.

He walked into the living room and saw 3 of his sisters: Lucy, Luna and Lisa, on the couch fighting over the remote.

"Give it up dude!" Luna said.

"No way. I'm not missing Princess Po- I mean, Edward Scissorhands." Lucy said.

"If you don't mind, I'd like tune back in to our local information channel, street name: The News." Lisa said.

"C'mon dude! I gotta see the rerun of School Of Rock!"

"That movie is terrible." Lucy replied.

All of them continued to bicker until they saw Lincoln standing in front of them.

"Guys! Cut it out!"

At that moment each of them turned their attention to Lincoln.

Lincoln then remembered that it was Sunday, and the rest of the Louds are attending church. Lisa being a scientist dosen't believe in religion, and Lucy didn't go because...well...she's Lucy. Luna was able to convice Mom and Dad to let her stay home and practice some 'rockin' tunes" on her guitar.

"Fighting over the remote again, huh?"

"Are you really surprised? In a household of this capacity, it makes logical sense that our differences in interest would clash with one another, resulting in arguments, and inevitable physical force." Lisa explained.

"Can't you guys find something we can all enjoy?"

"Uh..let's see.." Lincoln grabbed the remote, sat down and started channel surfing.

"Star Wars?"

"No." they all said in unison.

"Seinfield?'

"No."

"Adventure Time?"

"No."

"Oh..what about this new Nick show, Welcome To The Wayne?"

"Sounds stupid." said Lucy.

"Well I don't know what the fuck to tell you guys then!"

Lincoln realized what he had just said and immediately covered his mouth.

Lincoln didn't know what to say. "I...I didn't mean...it just slipped out...I...I..."

"Bro, relax." said Luna.

"Wait, what? You're not mad? You're not gonna tell on me?" He said with a surprised tone.

"It's ok dude. It's not like we don't get a little dirty from time to time."

"Believe me, I've seen, read, and experienced far worse than any swear word you can think of." Lucy said.

"I believe it." Lincoln replied.

"I personally have no room in my brain for such silly words, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't occasionaly let one slip out." said Lisa.

"I thought you guys would be shocked..or mad." Lincoln replied.

"Nah bro, it's cool. Like Luce said, we've heard alot of bad stuff. Have you heard the stuff Lori says when she can't find her phone charger?" Luna said jokingly.

"That does get her pretty heated." He responded.

"Or when Lynn misses Monday night football." Lucy said.

"I can hear you, ya know!"

All of sudden Lynn came walking down the steps with one hand on her stomach. She looked rather weak and dreary, which is unusual for her. All of the siblings turned towards her.

"Lynn? I didn't know you were here! Why didn't you answer the door when I knocked?"

"I was asleep dumbo." She said with an exhausted tone in her voice. "I feel awful. I ate WAY too much yesterday."

"Yeah...WAY too much. I'm honestly surprised you didn't have a heart attack or explode." Lincoln added.

"High metabolism. Food processes quickly." She said.

"It may now, but if you keep eating like that, It'll catch up to you.." Lincoln replied.

"I know. I guess I was just a little piggy. So what are you guys yammerin' on about down here?"

"Lincoln said fuck." said Lucy.

"Lucy!"

"What? Don't be ashamed. Lynn dosen't care. She actually swears the most."

"Hey! I do not! And I heard you mention me getting angry when I miss a game."

"Well, we share a room you know. I've seen it for myself."

"I don't get THAT mad!"

"When you missed last weeks game, you flung your head into your pillow and screamed "TITTYMUNCHING COCKSUCKING FUCKING SHIT" and then punched a hole in the wall.

"Geez, you swear that much?" Lincoln said.

"Ugh, yeah, I do sometimes. But I can't help it."

"And you punched a hole in the wall?"

"Ha...that was a good one Luce." Lynn said in an attempt to make it seem like a joke.

She then whispered in Lincoln's ear, "If you ever say a thing about that to Mom and Dad I will turn you into a human pretzel. With salt."

Lincoln gulped.

"Well, I'm just gonna sit down now." Lincoln walked over and sat on the couch. Lisa, Lucy and Luna followed along.

"Yeah, that seems like a good idea." Lynn said as she walked over and sat next to her siblings.

All of them were now sitting on the couch and Lisa picked up the remote and clicked the "Guide" button.

"Ooohhh. Guys! Dream Boat is on!"

They all immediately turned their attention to the screen.

"It's a rerun, but what the heck."

"Oh, this is a season 2 epsiode isn't it?" said Lynn.

Lisa checked the epsiode info box. "Yep, Season 2, episode...3."

"Oh god."

"What so bad about Season 2?"

"It's just..the first half of it is reallllly boring. Like, nothing happens."

"It picks up around episode 10 though." Luna chimed in.

"Yeah, but is it really worth sitting through 9 episodes of filler bullshit?"

"Yes it is. It's Dream Boat." Lincoln said assuringly.

"I guess. There's nothing else good on." Lynn responded.

The siblings precceeded to stay glued to the couch and watched a 3 straight hour marathon of the show. After it was over, Lynn spoke out.

"It's almost 3:30, don't you think the rest of the family should be home by now?" She said.

"Yeah, church service usually only lasts about an hour. I don't know why they haven't gotten back yet. Hold on, I'm gonna call Mom." said Lincoln. He preceeded to pull out his phone and call her.

"C'mon, pick up." It took a little longer than usual for her to answer, but then she finally picked up.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hey mom, how come you guys haven't got home yet?"

"Oh...well, honey, you see, on our way back we ran into a little..issue..and by that I mean we hit a streetlight. The van's trashed. We're on a pretty empty highway, and we've been waiting for someone to come by for over two hours now, we just called our agent and someone to pick us up but they won't be here for another 2 and a half hours. You think you guys can hold the fort down and make do until then?"

"Uh, yeah. No problem mom. We'll take care of everything."

"Ok sweetie, thank you so much. We'll be home soon. Stay safe. Love you."

"Yeah, Love you too mom. See you then." Lincoln then hung up.

"Apparently Vanzilla is trashed. It hit a streetpole."

"Oh my god, is everyone alright?" Lynn worringly said.

"Yeah, they're all fine. But it'll be a good two and a half hours before they get back."

"What the hell am I supposed to do until then?" Lynn said.

"Don't you have balls to play with?"

Lynn held back laughing.

"You know what kind of balls I'm talking about."

"I did, but not anymore. There either flat or in Mr. Grouse's yard."

"She said we'd just have to make do. I'm sure we'll find something t-"

Just before Lincoln was able to finish speaking, the lights in the entire house all went off and the TV went dark.

"Dang it."

And that's it for Chapter 2. How will the Louds manage to pass the time? Lynn is without sports, Lincoln without video games, Luna without her electric guitar, Lisa without electricity to fuel her inventions, and Lucy...well..I guess it's kind of a win for her.

Find out in Chapter 3, coming soon!
