Dimension B:

Royal Woods Hospital

1:36 pm

"Remember boys, you must behave." said Rita Loud

The Loud Family walked down the hallway and made it to Lincoln's room.

Seeing her son laying on a hospital bed with tubes everywhere just tore Rita up.

"Lincoln?" asked Lexx

Lincoln-A remained motionless save for breathing on the bed.

The entire family sat around their ill brother.

"Hey, little bro. How are you feeling?" Luke asked

Lincoln still remained silent.

While the family was distracted, Levi got out a syringe he brought with him and carefully injected the needle in Lincoln's leg.

Lincoln slightly jerked which surprised the family.

"Son?" Lynn Sr called

After getting the desired amount of blood into the syringe, levi loud quickly places the medical tool back into his lab coat.

"Boys...it's time we tell you the truth about Lincoln." said Lynn Sr

Rita looked at her husband.

"They need to know, dear." Lynn Sr stated

Rita slowly nodded in agreement.

Lynn Sr began to explain to his 4 younger sons about his condition, the tumors, and that he has a week left.

The boys where shocked the news except Levi who already knew what was going on.

"D-die?" whimpered Lief

"It's a possibility. Just pray for the best." said Rita

"But if he does pass away then you boys need to spend as much time as you can with Lincoln and remember the good times you had with him." said Lynn Sr

The boys went with their fathers idea only to realize that in their thoughts, they barely have any good memories about Lincoln!

Sometime later, Lynn Sr and Rita Loud walked out to grab a cup of coffee, leaving the boys alone with Lincoln.

"Guys, do any of you have any good memories with Lincoln?" asked Lars

"Yeah! There was this one time where I flushed his stuffed rabbit down the toilet!" smiled Luke

The brothers glared at Luke.

"What?"

"I think what our goth brother was meaning is if we have any good memories of Lincoln that we treasure." explained Levi

"Oh..." said Luke

"Well, I have one when Lincoln was two and he put a woopie cushion in my chair." Lane answered

"Okay, Lane can't be the only one with good memories! right?" asked Lynn jr

The room was silent.

All that most of the boys could remember is when they wronged Lincoln or each other.

"That's impossible! Loki, do you remember being happy when Mom was pregnant with Lincoln?" asked Lexx

"No, I was six years old at the time. I can't remember that!" said Loki

The room was silent once more.

"We're terrible brothers. Aren't we?" asked Loni

"I'm surprised that any of you don't remember any happy moments with Lincoln. Like Loki, isn't Lincoln the reason you met Bebe in the first place?" asked Levi

Loki thought back until a smile crept on his face.

"Oh yeah. I remember!"

6 years ago

Ketchum Park Playground

"I was 11 and Lincoln was 5. It was spring break of 2010, the year the twins were born. Mom took us to the park and of course, I had to watch you guys."

"G-Guys! Slow down." Loki whined

But only a few of the brothers bothered to listen to their older brother. The only ones who didn't was Lane, Lynn jr, and Lincoln.

The three boys ran towards the playground that was currently occupied with kids that are in Loki's age group.

Loki managed to catch Lane right before he almost tripped on one of the playgrounds balance beams.

"Be careful, little bro." said Loki

Lane nodded.

Loki then found Lynn with a baseball he brought along, Lynn looked towards the big kids playing baseball as well and he really wanted to play.

"Ask them if you can play with them." said Loki

Lynn went up to one of the preteens and asked one of them if he could join.

The boys were unsure about letting a little kid play baseball with them but they decided to give Lynn the old college try.

"Alright, kid. Thanks this bat and be ready to swing." said one of the big kids

Tge pitcher threw a baseball at Lynn only for a loud crack noise to erupt. The ball flew high in the sky making the big kids drop their jaws.

"That kid's on my team!" shouted one boy

Loki smiled at the sight of his younger brother making some friends. Now he just has to find one last brother.

"Lincoln!" Loki called

The eldest Loud brother heard his little brothers laugh.

He heard the noise come from the big play equipment where most older kids hang out.

"Oh, no. I better find Lincoln before he learns a bad word in there!" said Loki as he walked into a crowd.

"Lincoln?"

"Lincoln!"

Loki kept calling his brothers name only to be answered with more giggles coming from all sides.

"Excuse Me?"

Loki turned towards the voice. He saw a girl his age with Latino skin and black hair. She was wearing a green tank top with a white T-shirt underneath and blue shorts with brown flip flops.

"Is this your brother?" she asked

Loki looked to see that she was in fact holding Lincoln in his arms. Lincoln smiled and waved at his older brother.

Loki struggled to speak.

"Y..Yes he is." said Loki as he grabbed his brother from her arms.

"He's so adorable!" The girl shined

Loki felt his heart beat faster.

"T-thanks." he choked

The girl held out her hand.

"My name's Bebe Santiago. What's yours?" asked Bebe

"SHE'S ASKING FOR MY NAME!" Loki shouted in his voice

Loki then cleared his throat.

"My name is Loki Loud and this is my little brother, Lincoln." announced Loki

"I've seen you around school. Do you want to hang out one day?" asked Bebe

"OMG! SHE'S ASKING ME OUT!...is it supposed to be the other way around?" thought Loki before finally speaking.

"Sure." he answered

Bebe smiled

"Cool. I have a little sister running around here. Maybe one day she and Lincoln can have a play date?" Bebe suggested

"That's fine." Loki answered

Bebe then walked away leaving Loki holding Lincoln.

"She's nice." said Lincoln

Loki hugged his brother tighter towards him.

"Yeah...she is."


Present Day:

"And that's how it happened. That's how I met my girlfriend all thanks to Lincoln." said Loki

The eldest Loud brother turned to his younger brother laying on the hospital bed.

"I haven't been fair to Lincoln lately. I've thrown more insults than I do compliments at him." said Loki

Silence filled the room until Lars finally spoke up.

"Do you guys remember that day when Lincoln clogged the toilet with that Prince Pegasus book?" asked the goth

"Yeah, we got totes grounded because he didn't fess up to the crime." said Loni

"Ha! And when Lincoln finally admitted it. We roasted him for a full week!" Luke laughed

Lars remembered the insults thrown at Lincoln during that time.

"Well all of those insults you all threw at him we're all in vain. Truth is that I really clogged the toilet with that book." Lars revealed

A collection of gasps came from the rest of the brothers.

"You read Prince Pegasus?" asked Lynn jr

Lars nodded in embarrassment.

"Why?" asked Luke

"Because I need a break from the darkness sometimes." he answered

"No. Luke wasn't asking why you read it but why you weren't honest." explained Lane

A small tear fall out from behind Lars bangs.

"I was afraid that you all would pick on me." Lara answered

"Well...of course we will pick on you but we would also respect you for admitting that you're not afraid of criticism." said Loki

Lars looked up to Loki.

"We admire honesty more than we do dog piles." said Loni

Everyone was amazed at what Loni said.

The room was silent once more as all the brothers looked towards Lincoln.

"We really don't appreciate Lincoln that much, do we?" asked Luke

"We don't appreciate each other." Loki answered
