The sudden noise of multiple thumps woke Lincoln from his sleep. He shrugged it off at first, thinking maybe someone probably dropped something or maybe someone fell off their bed. After a few short minutes the noise came back this time with someone counting as each noise grows louder. Lynn, he forgot that she likes to do some early morning exercise and since Lucy wasn't here she took this chance to do the workout in her room. So far no one went over to tell Lynn to cut it out. "Seriously? no one is bothered by that?" He said to himself. He groaned in annoyance and got up walking like a corpse awoken from his eternal sleep all the way out into the hall and towards Lynn's door.

He knocked and said out loud "Lynn! Kick it down a notch!"

A few doors opened and the first one to pop out was Lana. "Lincoln! We're sleeping! Keep it down!"

Lily came out as well "Linky! I was Sleeping!"

Downstairs he heard his mother yell "Lincoln! It's still too early! Quiet down!"

He gave a look of annoyance "Are you kidding me? No one else was bothered by Lynn's racket? But as soon as i tell her to quiet down i'm the one disturbing everyone?"

"Lincoln! Listen to your mother!"

"UUUGGGHH!" he groaned.

Lynn opened her door as soon as Lincoln was heading back to his room. "Sorry you got yelled at Linc, I'm still used to having energetic roommates back at the dorm. Hey you still up to do something today?"

He turned around rubbing the back of his head "I kinda forgot to ask you last night, but yeah i'm down to hang out. Anything you want to do?"

"Honestly Linc, i don't care what it is. I just want to hang with my little bro." She flashed a smile.

He smiled back "Well i'm still a bit drowsy, maybe i'll let you know later today?"

"Sure Linc."

Lynn closed her door and chose to do exercises that didn't shake the house like an earthquake. Lincoln entered his room and plopped down on his bed, closing his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

10:05 am

A few hours later Lincoln had awaken from his sleep. He checked his phone and saw that he had a new text message from Ron.

"Billy appreciated your help yesterday, he said he can use you again soon. Pay attention for any calls."

To Lincoln this was good news, he had more opportunities now which was good. But he still feared for the worst. But that doesn't matter, his main priority was to help straighten out the debt his family was in. He got up and got dressed for the day.

Today he made breakfast for everyone. He did the usual eggs and bacon and gave everyone just the right amount. Rita had rushed through breakfast, today she was called in to work which relieved her. The more days she worked the better the pay. She ate her breakfast and kissed Lincoln goodbye and headed out to work. Lynn Sr. took his breakfast to go and went on to drop off his wife. The only ones left at home were Lincoln, Lynn, Lily and Lana.

After breakfast Lynn and Lincoln washed the dishes together all while talking about what to do for today. "So Linc, any idea on what to do today?"

"Well, how about we go out and maybe do some catch? I know sports isn't my thing but i'm already used to doing some sports with you so, why not? Maybe afterwards we can go to the Burpin Burger, haven't gone there in forever."

Lynn was about to jump with excitement. Not only did her brother want to do something she liked but lunch at the Burpin Burger seemed to excite her. She hasn't set foot in one since the year she left for college. There hasn't been one near school. She agreed to this idea. "Sweet Linc! Let's go to the park for catch, it's not far from the Burpin Burger."

Lincoln agreed. While the two would be gone, Lana offered to stay with Lily and spend the day with her little sister. The auto shop was closed on Sundays, she took her day off to spend time at home. Usually on her day off she would hang around with her twin sister but with her absence in the house she's unable to do the regular. Since she left Lana had resorted to simply watching TV or maybe even tuning up the old family van known as Vanzilla. Today she simply didn't know what to do. With Lily home she figured maybe she would have a fun idea or some sort. However today wasn't the case, not even she knew what to do today. Lincoln and Lynn had now recently left the house off to do what they've planned for the day, leaving Lana and Lily home.

Lana stayed put in the living room with Lily watching TV. She offered to put on a movie but the two had no idea what to watch. The frustration of not knowing what to do continued until a knock had been heard on the front door.

Ronnie Anne decided maybe today she could reunite with Lincoln after their long waiting period of not seeing each other for years. She too had the day off and decided maybe today was a great day to see Lincoln. Today was a beautiful day compared to the depressing blue day yesterday had been, so it also brought on a good opportunity.

She had arrived to her location and in front of her was the house that used to house a whole bunch of kids that gave the name "The Loud House" into play. Seeing the house so quiet was a bit weird but she brushed it off as nothing. She realized that there weren't any toys hanging around the house like it used to be. Instead the entire house was cleaned off from the toys and other items a kid would often have fun with. She walked up the doorstep and gave herself a few seconds to compose herself. Will Lincoln really want to see her again? Will Lincoln even recognize her now? Considering that her twin brother had recently met up with Lincoln she hoped that wasn't the case. Ron had to have mentioned her name to him at some point. She simply knocked on the door and hoped for the best.

Lily went up to the door and opened it and was greeted by the sight of a beautiful Hispanic woman wearing a simple purple sweater and black jeans. She remembered seeing this from somewhere. She couldn't quite figure it out. "Hi there, may i help you?" she kindly greeted.

" Oh Hi there" Ronnie Anne didn't recognize the girl from what she can remember. She looked past her hoping to see the white haired man somewhere in the house. Lily was simply confused on why this woman was looking through into her living room as if she was desperately looking for someone. "Is Lincoln Loud here?"

"Oh well my brother just left the house with my older sister Lynn, the two went off to hang out somewhere. Why? Is there something wrong?" asked an intrigued Lily.

Ronnie Anne simply replied "Oh no nothing at all, i just haven't seen him in so long i was hoping to catch him here and maybe talk with him."

Lily looked at Ronnie Anne with an interested gaze "I've seen you before, but i can't remember where."

"Oh um well i uh...OH! I'm sorry i didn't properly introduce myself." She took her hand out "The name's Ronnie Anne Santiago"

Now she remembered her, she remembered Lincoln talking about a Ronnie Anne a few years back. She also seemed to remember her from when she was a simple infant. Rather that shake the girl's hand she simply jumped with joy and hugged her tightly. "EEEEEEEE! Ronnie Anne! I knew i saw you from somewhere! I'm Lily, Lincoln's youngest sister!"

Ronnie Anne shared the same joy as Lily did. She now remembered Lily being the infant sister she used to know from the times she's visited the home as a kid. Seeing Lily as a grown teenager really made her feel old. She hugged the girl back "Lily! Oh my goodness! I haven't seen you since you were just a little baby!"

Lily let her go and let her step inside. Lana heard the whole thing and was surprised to see Ronnie Anne here after so long of not hearing from her. She wasn't sure how to feel, happy? Confused? She did her best to keep a smile on her face. "Hey there Ronnie Anne! Long time no see." said Lana

She waved at Lana "Hey there Lana, i see you haven't changed to much since i last saw you." She stood standing up by the recliner. "So Lincoln left?"

Lily nodded her head "Yeah he and Lynn left not too long ago. You probably just missed them."

"Oh alright well thanks for letting me know. Do you know when he would be back? Maybe i can come back later."

"Hard to tell, can't say exactly how long but he shouldn't be out for too long. Hey i know you came to see Lincoln but me and Lily here are just trying to hang out here while they're gone, think maybe you'd want to join us? You can wait for Lincoln to come back as well."

Ronnie Anne thought about it for a bit. While she didn't know the two sisters too well she thought maybe this could be a time to get to know them better. All while waiting for Lincoln to come back. "Sure, i mean I've got nothing to do for today and it's my day off of work."

She proceeded to sit down on the recliner and joined Lana and Lily in time to await Lincoln's return.

Ketchum Park

May 7th, 2019

12:34 pm

For nearly two hours both brother and sister had been at the park playing some catch over by the open fields of the park. While Lincoln isn't really into sports he's used to it by now and doesn't bother him to play, especially with Lynn. By this point he wouldn't play sports unless his older sister was involved. He was so used to sports that he began to impress Lynn with unremarkable skill that not even he knew about. His throwing was almost matched of a bullet speed which at one point made Lynn wince in pain from one of his throws. She felt proud, believing that this skill is all due to her wanting to play sports with him.

The two soon sat down under the shade of a tree. The two adults watched kids play in a mix of soccer, baseball and football out in the park. The two soon began to reminisce in memories of their childhood. They shared laughter in a few memories that involved Lincoln getting slightly embarrassed over at a few moments that would've ruined his reputation at school.

For a short moment the two sat in silence until Lynn broke the silence. "So Linc...Do you think Luna is doing alright out on her own?" she awkwardly asked. She knew that this certain topic was a mood killer in the family but she was interested in knowing Lincoln's current opinion on the matter.

"Honestly Lynn i just don't know. I don't even know if i should even care. She ran away and never came back...not even to say goodbye."

"Lincoln she's our sister! You should care because in our family there's only one Luna and she's out there somewhere doing god knows what! What if something had happened to her out there? Would you care then?"

He sat in silence for a bit. She had a point, while he still hated her for her actions he still in fact loved his older sister. Deep in his feelings he truly missed her and wished that one day she would knock on the door waiting to come home once again after thirteen years. While they may not be children again, all he would ever want from Luna is for her to come home. "Lynn, i guess i do miss her. I do care for her. It's just that when she disappeared she took a part of me with her, one that hurt me badly to which made me hate her for what she did. I don't really hate Luna, i just hated what she did. I still want her to come back and make our family whole again. I miss her Lynn, i really do."

Lynn reacted with a hug that came from her heart and not by sympathy. In a way she felt the same as he did. As much as she hardly liked to show affection she deeply missed her older sister. She remembered how depressing home was for the first few months with Luna gone. Hearing how Lincoln truly felt made her feel heart broken. She hugged him tightly and received the hug in return. "I miss her too Linc, i just hope she's alright. I don't know what i'd do if something happened to her. Let's hope that she's alright." Lynn didn't break away from the hug, she held on to Lincoln as if she was seeing him on his last day on Earth. In all honesty she was afraid of losing another sibling.

May 7th 2019

1:12 pm

Silent footsteps walked across the pavement of the sidewalk down Franklin Avenue. They walked so quietly that no one would even notice them coming. A young woman wearing a black knee-length dress with a black Bolero jacket, black leggings and black shoes approached the house stopping in her tracks to get a good view of the house itself. She hasn't been here since she left and she figured why not come to visit? She had previously told her mother that she would be visiting home soon. Although she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Lucy Loud, now age 21, had walked up the steps and stopped in front of the main entrance. She was a bit nervous coming home, she hasn't seen her family in a while and she didn't know how three years of being away from home would do to them. She decided to take in all her stress and let it all out, her family would still be the same as always. She rang the doorbell and awaited for the door to be opened.

Inside the house Lily was showing Ronnie Anne around the house thinking maybe she needed a recap of what life in the Loud House was like. She heard the doorbell ring downstairs. She wanted to keep showing Ronnie Anne the home so she yelled for Lana to get the door. "Lana! Door!"

"On it."

When she opened the door she was greeted by a dark figure with her jet black hair covering her two eyes. Her skin as pale as the dead and her attire ready for a funeral. She knew exactly who she was looking at. "LUCY! You're here!" she yelled as she went in for a hug that surprised Lucy but ended up returning the hug. She let go to get a good view of her sister.

"Lana, it's been so long since I've last you." She said in a half happy and half monotone voice.

"Same Lucy as always, c'mon sis come inside!"

She entered Lucy home to which relaxed Lucy a bit more. WHen she had entered she saw two figures descending down the stairs. She recognized both Lily and Ronnie Anne. While she may not have seen the girl in a long time she still managed to recognize the Hispanic girl from afar.

Lily jumped to Lucy's arms "LUCY!"

Chuckling a bit she held on to Lily and set her down. "I missed you too Lily, i'm glad to be back home." She turned to Ronnie Anne "It's nice to see you two Ronnie Anne."

The girl was a bit surprised that someone from the Loud family had managed to at least recognize who she was. Still she didn't want to be rude to Lucy "Hey Lucy, still see that you haven't left your phase yet." She said jokingly.

"It was never a phase to start with" Lucy said with a slight smile.

"I find that hard to believe" Ronnie Anne smirked.

Lucy simply smiled a bit and had entered the home. She looked around and felt that she really needed this after the struggle of college. Not long after she entered she was tackled by Lana. "LUCY! IT'S SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME!"

While Lucy didn't appreciate hugs as much she returned it with gratitude. "It's good to be home." The two let go and both sat on the couch. "Hey, Where's Lynn and Lincoln? Mom said Lynn would be back home and that she had just came yesterday. Her car is outside too."

"Oh she and Linky went out. They should be back soon, Ronnie Anne is waiting for Lincoln too." said Lily not noticing Ronnie Anne blushing at her response.

Lucy however saw the expression on her face. She remembered that the two broke up many years ago and stayed very distant from each other. She wondered if the two couldn't work out anything to stay friends but from what she can see it is very clear that maybe there are different options. She replied 'Okay' and relaxed herself on the couch she dearly missed sitting on with her nine siblings.

The two stayed under the shade still in their hug for a long time. They didn't speak, they let the silence over take their somber. It had been maybe an hour since they last spoke about Luna. They didn't think that they'd stay like this for quite awhile. As for Lincoln he didn't think he'd see this side of Lynn again. A stomach grumble interrupted their moment, making Lynn chuckle. "Hungry Linc? I think someone is sending the message loud and clear."

Lincoln looked at his stomach and laughed a bit too " Well i guess i am feeling malnourished, hey how about we get a bite from The Burpin Burger? Now may seem like a good time to do so."

She lightly punched his arm "Good idea bro"

The two got up, collected their things and walked out of the park. The entire time Lynn held very close to Lincoln. Today she seemed to be acting very odd with Lincoln, she didn't bother telling him about her reasons either. But Lincoln didn't mind, since Lynn's presence is limited for a few months he wanted to get any opportunity to be close with one another before she left again.

When the two arrived they were lucky enough to have a short line to get food. Usually on weekends they get very crowded and busy , but today seemed like it wouldn't be the case. The two ordered their food and got an empty table for themselves.

"So Linc, have you found a lucky girl? Have any luck yet?" Lynn asked as she stuffed a few fries in her mouth.

Lincoln set down his drink "Well... I haven't been looking. What about you? You mentioned about a guy from campus."

"Oh yeah! Well he was a nice guy but we never kept contact with each other. So that leaves me wide open for a lucky receiver to catch me."

Lincoln chuckled at the football reference, Luan would be proud. The two talked for a good while until Lincoln felt his pocket vibrate. He took a lok at the caller ID and realized who it was. "Hey Lynn i think i have to go for now, someone might be taking me in for work. I really hate to leave you here on your own but i promise we can continue some other time."

Lynn smiled "No problem bro, if it's for work then it's all good." She got up and raised her fist which made him flinch. She chuckled at the sight and sank in for a hug. "It's been good hanging with you bro, see you at home!"

Lincoln left the burger joint and answered the call "Hello?"

"Alright kid you did pretty good last time, so now i got a new job for ya. I want someone dead."

A/N: Hey guys welcome to chapter 6! I'm sorry for the weekly delay on this one, we had construction going on at work and i helped out with it. Got pretty weak after that (I'm not used to working for construction) so i took a little break from writing and used my freetime to just simply relax. But now i'm back! For those who followed the fanfic "Shattered Innocence" You may know that the author decided to quit the story. I posted a review saying that i can take over that story and finish it with my interpretation of it. If he hands me the story i will upload the basic chapters and then work on my own for that story. That story will not be a part of the LoudVerse series as i plan on creating a NSL fic of my own that is similar to Shattered Innocence. Expect a preview chapter for it sometime soon. Anyways i'm dragging this, so stay tuned for a new chapter and i'll see you all soon. FrostbiteFear out
