It was Tuesday morning, and Haiku had done a lot of thinking since her chat with Lucy. She managed to accept that she still has feelings for Lincoln, and that was what tied her to this place. She was tied to him.
Haiku also thought back to her family. How they said that anyone who wasn't like them would just break her hart, and just leave her for someone else. She didn't believe that when she started dating Lincoln, and even after what happened she felt conflicted about the belief. She felt she was missing something, something that would give her closer. The other side of the story, Lincoln's side of the story.
She was now watching Lincoln from a distance. He was sat on a bench while he waited for school to start. Haiku noticed he had her locket in his hand, as he looked at it, and rubbed his thumb across it.
Haiku took a deep breath, before she walked up to him. "Lincoln." She called.
Lincoln's head shot straight up. "Haiku?" He responded.
"We need to talk. Mind if I sit down?" She asked.
"Not at all, but what if your parents find out?" Lincoln questioned, as he made space for her on the bench.
"I'm not bothered. Right now I need to ask you something. And I need a honest answer." Haiku responded, while sitting down.
"Erm, sure. Fire away." Lincoln replied, confused at what she wanted to know.
Haiku looked Lincoln straight in the eyes, and asked. "How do you honestly feel about Ronnie Ann?"
"When she started picking on me, I just saw as another jerk. When my sisters told me she liked me I felt conflicted. In house with 10 other siblings, I know about pinning for attention, but I also wondered if she'd act like that in a relationship. I don't want that. So I decided i'd try getting to know her, to see if it would help me reach a decision. It didn't. Yeah it was great that I could play video games with her, and she had her nice moments. But the pranks, the dead arms, and being called Lame-O all the time." Lincoln shook his head. "Not my thing." Lincoln looked into Haiku's eyes as she listened to him. Lincoln smiled softly. "When you agreed to help me look out for Lucy, despite the fact she reads Princess Pony, and when you stuck to that agreement when you saw her eyes. I knew you was a kind person, and I'd be happy to call you a friend. When went to Dairy Land, and I got to see how you was adventures to, that's when I really began to fall for you, so when I found out you felt the same way, I looked back at our history, and in that moment I decided. That you was the one for me, that with you, and only you, I'd truly be happy." Lincoln answered, without breaking eye contact.
They both failed to notice the blush on their faces of the small crowed that had gathered. The crowd included: Lucy, Lola, Lana, and others.
Lincoln then sighed and broke eye contact, as he looked at the ground. "It's a shame about everything that happened during the weekend."
Haiku looked away and saw the crowed. 'This could be my last day withe Lincoln.' She thought to herself. 'So I best make the most of it.' Haiku reached out and gently held Lincoln's hand, which got his attention. "This could be my last day with you. I don't want to waste it by avoiding you."
Lincoln began to smile again, as did Haiku. "Then let's make the most of it." He said as he squeezed her hand a little. They slowly began to close the gap between them, before they shared a deep kiss.
Though out rest off the school day, they spent every second they could with each other. During his final lesson of the day, Lincoln sent a text to all his sisters. "This could be my last day with Haiku. I need all of you to help me make it special." All of them agreed to help.
Later.
Lincoln and Haiku walked up to the front door of the Loud house. When Lincoln opened the door: Lori, Leni, and Lola were waiting for them with large smiles. They grabbed Haiku, and began pulling her upstairs. Haiku looked behind her, and saw that Lincoln was following them.
"Don't worry Haiku, they're not going to hurt you." He said calmly. Lincoln smiled warmly at her. Haiku gave a quick smile back. The sisters escorted Haiku to Lori and Leni's room where Lucy was waiting, while Lincoln went into his room.
"What's going on?" Haiku asked Lucy.
"We're getting you ready for Lincoln's surprise." Lucy said.
"Surprise, what surprise?" Haiku asked.
"He didn't tell me, all I know is that it's fancy." Lola answered.
"And that's why he didn't tell you." Lori commented.
Soon.
Haiku was wearing Rita's wedding dress, but it was more suited to Haiku's height instead of Lucy's, but kept Lucy's colour scheme. Haiku was escorted down the basement, Where Lincoln stood waiting for her in his white suit, holding Lily. Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, and Lisa were around the basement, checking: speakers, lights, and a laptop.
Haiku walked up to Lincoln who just smiled at her. "What's going on?" She asked.
"Well, back at the dance we never really danced. So with this possibly being our last day together..." Lincoln stretched it a hand to her, while Lynn took Lily off him. "...what do you say?"
Haiku placed her hand in Lincoln's. "Yes." She said softly. They began to dance as the music began, and a light followed them around the basement, as everything else faded, and there was only them.
Lincoln's sisters watched from the basement stairs. "We can't let Haiku's parents take her away." Lori whispered to the others.
"I know, but what can we do?" Luna whispered back.
"Couldn't she live with us?" Lola quietly suggested.
"Even if Haiku agreed to it, it still counts as kidnapping." Luan answered.
"I've got a idea." Lucy said. "Lori, take a photo of them."
Lori did as asked and took a photo on her phone of the couple, with the flash turned off. "Now what?" She asked.
"Everyone follow me. This poem has to be perfect." Lucy answered. They all quietly left, unnoticed by Lincoln and Haiku.
Later at Haiku's house.
Lucy walked up to the door with a sealed envelop. She placed it on the step with rock on top to stop it blowing away. Lucy knocked on the door then ran and hid behind a bush. The door opened and the women saw the envelope and opened it. There was photo of Lincoln and Haiku dancing paper clipped to the top left corner of a piece of paper. She began to read the what the paper said.
Black and white, darkness and light.
You fear it will end in tragedy, but that is only imaginary. And only causes agony.
Lincoln is her bright light, you try to them separate with all your might.
Not concerned of the cost, Haiku will be forever lost.
He brings her joy, he will never see her as just a toy.
They give each other support, for every battle that has and will be fought.
Haiku has so much more to discover, it will be easier with another.
Lincoln will be there for her, in every endeavour.
She will never find a better lover, than our dear brother.
The Loud sisters.
She took the latter inside the house and closed the door. With that Lucy left.
Soon at the Loud House.
Lucy walked into the house and saw Haiku and Lincoln where now in there normal clothes, and was watching videos on Lincoln's phone. They was leaning into each other, and smiling.
Lucy was approached by her sisters. "Well, did it work?" Lola asked.
"I don't know, we'll have to wait and see." Lucy answered.
Soon.
Haiku's phone vibrated, she took it out of her pocket. "Sigh, it looks like my time has come." She stood up, and walked to the door, with Lincoln close behind.
"Haiku, wait." Lincoln called to her, as she opened the door. "Why don't I come with you? They already know about us." Lincoln offered.
Haiku smiled at the offer. "I would like that."
As they walked to her house, they held hands and tried to ready themselves to say goodbye to eachother forever. Unaware that Lucy was following them. When they was just outside her house the turned and faced eachother. Lincoln took Haiku's locket out of his pocket, and offered it to her with a open palm. "I suppose you'll want your locket back." He said.
Haiku gentaly closed his hand around the locket. "I want you to keep it as something to remember me by." Haiku responded.
"I could never forget you." Lincoln responded, as tears began to well up in his eyes. He pulled Haiku in for a tight hug. Haiku had to soon hold back tears to, while she returned the hug.
They finally broke the hug and shared one final kiss.
"Goodbye Haiku, I love you." Lincoln managed to say as he kept oldish back his tears.
"Goodbye Lincoln, I love you too." Haiku said as struggled to hold herself togher as well, before she left him to walk into her house.
Lincoln watched the door slowly close, before letting out a sigh, and began the walk home, with his head down, trying as hard as he can to not break down where he stands.
Soon.
Lincoln had arrived back home, and went straight to his room. Lucy wasn't to far behind, and walked into the living room where the other sisters were waiting. They all looked at her in anticipation. Lucy shook her head, and all the sisters looked down in sympathy for their brother.
"Well, we tried girls." Lori spoke up.
All of a sudden their trains of thought cut off by knock at the door.
Meanwhile in Lincoln's room.
Lincoln was laid on his bed, as he let himself cry freely. He had placed the locket on his desk. All of a sudden he heard a knock on his door. "Huh?" Lincoln said, as he sat up, and rubbed away his tears. "It's open." He called out.
The door opened to reveal Haiku, and stood behind her was all of his sisters, they all smiled at him.
"Haiku?" Lincoln asked as he jumped off of his bed and walked up to her. "What are doing here? Is everything okay?" He asked, concerned.
"My parents agreed to let me see you." Haiku answered.
"What, how did you manage to persuade them?" Lincoln asked, excited that Haiku was going to stay.
"It wasn't me. It was your sisters." Haiku answered.
"We all made them a poem that persuading them against breaking you up." Lucy continued.
Lincoln rushed to his sisters and brought them into a group hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He thanked them joyfully. They all just smiled at him as they returned the hug.
Haiku stood and watched, until Lincoln pulled her into the hug as well. Haiku accepted the group hug, and smiled.
The End.
