After realizing that Bobby and Ronnie Anne are in town, the sisters are going to have to step their game up. Meanwhile, Lincoln is getting suspicious of what they're up to.
Chapter 7: Next phase
After a while, Lincoln finished eating his food.
He puts up his plate and goes back to class with Alex and Clyde. He goes in and takes a seat and then Mrs. Johnson comes in.
Mrs. Johnson: "Ok class, now it's time for the fun activity. Today we are going to draw pictures with the theme of the Royal Woods fair."
Class: "Yay!"
Mrs. Johnson: "Everyone (pulls out a box full of crayons) grab your crayons start coloring."
One by one each student took a box of crayons and sat back to their seats. Lincoln finally got his crayons and sat back down.
Lincoln: "Hmm, what to draw...what to draw."
Alex: "Lincoln, what are you doing."
Lincoln: "Oh, well we have to draw something that's related to the fair coming up."
Alex: " Ohh, so why aren't drawing?"
Lincoln: "I need to think before I start drawing."
Lincoln resumes back thinking while Alex looks up at the teacher's desk. He sees some magazines on her desk so he goes over and sees them. On the magazines there were texts about the fair.
"Royal Woods fair coming this Tuesday, don't miss out on all the fun that's coming to town."
"Come on down to Royal Woods fair. We got great cook offs happening this Tuesday."
"Show your talent at the Royal Woods fair, happening at Tuesday night."
On the magazines were also pictures of food, people, and other stuffs. One of the magazines even had a picture of a mechanical bull ride. Alex then return back to Lincoln who still thinking.
Lincoln: "Maybe I can...no. How about...nah."
Alex: "Hey Lincoln..."
Lincoln: "Not now Alex I'm thinking"
Alex: "Why don't you draw one those weird animal things with pointy things on their head?"
Lincoln: "Ah wha?"
Alex: "You know (puts his hands next to his head and points)"
Lincoln gives a confuse look at Alex. Alex gets frustrated and then hovers to his desk. He then puts his finger on the desk and moves it. But when he moved his finger, a line would appear behind his finger. He continued moving his finger until he finished drawing.
Alex pointing on his picture: "That, you can draw that"
Lincoln didn't say anything but instead was surprised on how he could be able to draw.
He goes over to get Clyde.
Lincoln: "Clyde look at my desk, there's a bull."
Clyde goes over to his desk to look at it.
Clyde: "Uhhh, I don't see a bull."
Lincoln: "What?"
Lincoln look down and sees the bull but apparently Clyde could not. Realizing the situation again, Lincoln told Clyde to go back.
Lincoln: "Ok, so you can draw but I'm still the only one to see it?"
Alex shrugged
Lincoln: "Nevermind, at least you gave me an idea of what to draw. Thanks Alex."
Alex didn't respond
Lincoln: "Alex? Where did you go?"
He looked around and sees him drawing random things on the class' board. Alex finally found something to do. Lincoln smiled and started drawing.
After a couple of minutes, Lincoln finally drew the bull. He walked up to Mrs. Johnson happy with his eyes closed and his paper to turn it in.
Lincoln handing in the paper: "Here you go Mrs. Johnson"
Mrs. Johnson taking his paper : "Very good Lincoln, I like what you drew. You know I also like to ride mechanical bulls."
Lincoln opening his eyes: "Oh, I just thought tha-"
Lincoln then sees Mrs. Johnson face covered with goofy hair and a round ball on her nose.
Mrs. Johnson: "Thought of what Lincoln?"
Lincoln holding back his laughter: "I-I got to back to my seat."
He walks back to his desk and then starts laughing to himself. Then sees Alex there.
Lincoln: "Alex, you drew all that on hair?"
Alex also giggling: "Yea."
Lincoln: "Why?"
Alex: "I thought it would be funny, is it?"
Lincoln: "It sure is"
Both of them burst out laughing but Lincoln then stop and sees the hold class staring at him.
Lincoln: "Uhhh, I was thinking of a funny joke yesterday, heheh"
The class shrugged it off and continued drawing. Alex and Lincoln continued to giggle.
After the class finished, they continued on with their day on math then classes where over. Everyone walk out of school with smiles to see the outside sky again. Lincoln walked home with Clyde and Alex following them.
Lincoln: "So what did you draw for the fair?"
Clyde: "I drew me and Lori dancing to the romantic music in the air."
Lincoln: "Ok? Got any plans today?"
Clyde: "Yea, me and my dads are going to the mall to shop for some clothes to wear at the fair. In fact I better hurry so I can get the best suits. See ya Lincoln."
Lincoln: "Later Clyde."
Clyde ran ahead of Lincoln and Lincoln's face from smiling to a concerned look. Alex notice this so he catches up to him.
Alex: "Something going through your mind?"
Lincoln: "Huh, oh it's just that my sisters..."
Alex: "What about them?"
Lincoln: "They've been acting weird ever since Lori got the call from Bobby. They've never been this nice to me before."
Alex: "Well maybe they realize what a great brother you are?"
Lincoln: "Nah, if anything they're trying to get something from me."
Alex: "What could that be?"
Lincoln: "That's were I got to figure out."
Alex and Lincoln continued on until they reach his house. Lincoln and Alex went up the door and opened it. There was only Lynn Sr. and Rita sitting on the couch with Lily.
Lynn Sr.: "Hey Lincoln, how was school today?"
Lincoln: "School was great, I got to draw in class and it turned out great."
Rita: "That's lovely dear."
Lily: "Poo Poo"
Rita: "Oh, someone made an accident."
Rita takes Lily to her room.
Lincoln: "Hey dad, shouldn't the other sisters be here by now?"
Lynn Sr.: "Oh, Leni called and said that they were going to the mall. Apparently they need to get new clothes for the fair."
Lincoln: "When will they bee back?"
Lynn Sr. "About an hour. Why?"
Lincoln: "Just wondering"
Lincoln and Alex went up stairs and to his room. Lincoln threw his backpack and went to Lori's and Leni's room. He started searching around the room. Alex went and waited outside the room.
Alex: "What are you doing?"
Lincoln: "Seeing what my sisters are up to."
Lincoln gets out and heads to Luna' and Leni's.
Alex: "Oh, can I help?"
Lincoln: "Yea, could you go outside and tell me when you see my sisters coming."
Alex: "Ay ay"
Alex went and phase through the front door and waited on the porch. Lincoln got out, and went to Lynn' and Lucy's room.
Lincoln: "Man, there's nothing here."
He then moves on to Lola's and Lana's room.
Lincoln: "Maybe in Lola's diary?"
He opens it but there's nothing in the pages that he hasn't already seen. Lincoln moves into Lisa's and Lily's room. Suddenly Alex is there.
Alex: "They're here Lincoln."
Lincoln hurried to his room and grabbed his comic and acted natural. He can hear the footsteps from his sisters come rushing through the stairs. Then, the door bust open making Lincoln jump. It was Lori holding bags of clothes.
Lincoln: "Lori?"
Lori: "Lincoln, I need you to try out these clothes I bought for you"
Lincoln as he is getting clothes: "Why did you get clothes for me?"
Lori: "Well since you hate the mall, I took the privilege of getting new ones for you. You're welcome by the way"
Lincoln was balancing bags of clothes but when Lori shut the door, all the bags fell down. Lincoln pops his head out of the bags.
Lincoln: "I don't need clothes"
Alex: "Look on the bright side, at least you have new clothes for later occasions"
Lincoln as he gets up: "Yea I guess you're right."
Rita: "Kids! Dinner!"
Once again, many footsteps go running down stairs.
Lincoln: "Wait here Alex, I got to eat."
Alex: "Okay"
Lincoln goes out of his room then downstairs. When he reached the kitchen, the sisters have already started eating. Lincoln grabs a chair and plate and begins eating.
Rita: "So, how was everyone's day?"
Lynn jr.: "Today was great"
Luna: "It was rocking"
Luan: "Great mom"
Lana: "Good"
Lola: "Okay"
Lisa: "Like always, average."
Lucy: *sigh* "All right"
Leni: "Great!"
Lori: "It's was literally the best day ever!"
Rita: "And Lincoln?"
Lincoln looks up and sees everyone staring at him.
Lincoln: "Oh, it was okay I guess."
He return eating. Everyone but Lori and their parents got a suspicious look on him then resume eating.
Rita: "So Lori, I heard Bobby is back in town."
Lori: "Yea only for two days. Can you believe he returned after all this time."
Luna: "It's only been two weeks"
Lori: "But it seemed like ages."
Luan: "You could say its been, 'centuries', get it?"
Everyone but Lori let out a groan.
Lori: "How about you Lincoln, did you got to meet Ronnie Anne?"
Lincoln: "W-well yeah."
Lynn: "What did she say?"
Luna: "Did y'all do anything?"
Luan: "Did you guys argue?"
Leni: "Where you nice?"
They were all in Lincoln's face.
Lincoln: "Why do you guys care?"
They backed away from him.
Leni, Luna, Luan, and Lynn: "No reason"
Lincoln gave a suspicious look at them.
Lincoln: "Usually Lori is the only one to care about me and Ronnie Anne. What are you guys u-"
Lola: "So! What are we going to dress up for the fair."
Rita: "Oh, your father and I picked some cute outfits to wear together."
Lynn Sr.: "We're going old fashion. Like, 1980's theme."
Everyone got embarrassed from the idea.
Lori: "Well, me and Bobby are going to wear cute dresses."
All the girls squeal in excitement.
Lincoln: "I'm done eating mom"
He gets up, takes his plate to the kitchen's sink, Lori gets a call from Bobby.
Lori: "Heyyy Bobby, we were just talking about us."
Lola: "What about you Lincoln? What are you and Ronnie Anne going to wear?"
Other sisters: "Yea?"
Lori: "Oh, you want to talk to Lincoln?"
Lincoln rushing through the dinning room.
Lincoln: "Oh you know, some clothes that Lori bought me."
Luna: "Did Ronnie Anne know?"
Lana: "Did she agreed with your choice?"
Lucy: "Is she happy with it?"
Lily: "Poopoo?"
Lori: "Lincoln, Ronnie Anne wa-"
Lincoln snaps and turns around.
Lincoln: "So that's what this is about! You guys are bugging in between me and her!"
All the sisters knew they were caught
Lincoln: "We are just friends!"
Lynn: "But it needs to be perfect"
Lisa: "It can't go wrong"
Lincoln: "NO! If anything I'm not going to the fair especially if it was with her. I'd rather take a moldy rug then seeing her again."
All the sisters gasp
Lincoln: "That's right, now if you ca-"
Lori: "LINCOLN!!!"
Lincoln: :"Wha-"
Lori showed her phone to Lincoln, Ronnie Anne was FaceTiming the whole time.
Lincoln: "Oh Ronni-"
Ronnie Anne: "NO! You know what I don't want to see you ever again Lincoln Loud!"
Ronnie Anne threw the phone on the couch and then Bobby's face showed.
Bobby: "What happen?"
Lori: "Uh, I call you back"
She hanged up and stood up from the table.
Lori: "Lincoln, how could you say that!"
Lincoln: "It was y'all fault for making me fall for her."
Lori: "What are you talking about?"
She looked at the other sisters, they all had faces of guilt.
Leni: "We were only trying to help"
Lola: "Yea, we didn't want this to happen."
Lori: "Guys look, just leave this between me and him. Lincoln you need to apolo-"
Lincoln: "No, this is the third time I made her cry. There's no way she is going to forgive me"
Lori: "Lincoln, she'll listen. You jus-"
Lincoln: "Stop talking."
Rita: "Lincoln, listen to he-"
Lincoln: "No!"
Lynn Sr.: "Lincoln, don't you interrupt your mothe-"
Lincoln: "SHUT UP!"
Everyone stood in silence.
Lincoln holding back tears: "Just stop okay, you guys go to the fair and have fun without me."
Lincoln hurried to his room and locks the door.
Lori: "What did you guys do?!"
Lynn: "We were trying to help."
Luan: "Yea, if they got together more then you could see Bobby more."
Lori: "What?"
Leni: "We saw how sad you were."
Lisa: "And knowing you would never see him again afterwards"
Lola: "We wanted to help you by helping Lincoln"
Lana: "We're sorry"
They all were ashamed of themselves but Lori came and hugged them all.
Lori: "Thanks for caring for me but sometimes you got to let things take their turns."
They looked up to her with tears in their eyes.
Rita: "She's right, just look at me and your father. We're happy for what we are."
Lynn Sr.: "Sure there were times were we thought it wasn't going to work but at the end we have a big and happy family."
They all then run to them and hug.
Lori: "Now let's go apologize to Lincoln."
The sisters nodded and went to Lincoln's room. Lori, knocked on the door.
Lori: "Lincoln, can you open the door. We all have something to say."
There were no sound
Lori: "Lincoln, come on. Don't give us the silent treatment."
Still no sound
Lori: "Lincoln?"
She tried opening the door but it was lock.
Lynn: "Let me tried."
She tried opening but nothing.
Lynn: "Dang, these new door knobs are tough."
Lana: "The hinges aren't. Try kicking it."
They all gave Lynn room and she kick it. The door broke off and alerted the parents. They ran up the stairs and looked around.
Lynn Sr.: "What's going on here?!"
Rita: "Girls, Lincoln?!"
They turn and see them all huddled in Lincoln's room.
Half of them turned: "Lincoln is not here."
The parents went through them and saw the room. He wasn't to be found.
Lynn Sr.: "How is he not here."
Lisa: "I believe he went out through the window."
They looked up and saw the window open.
Rita: "Wait wouldn't he gotten hurt."
Lynn looked out the window and came back down.
Lynn: "There's a trampoline on the driveway"
They all rushed outside and saw that there was indeed a trampoline there.
Lori: "But where's Lincoln?"
They looked around and still couldn't find him.
"Lincoln!" They all screamed hoping he could return.
