Chapter 10

The next day can't come soon enough.

*Groan* "Ugh, what happened last night? I feel like a freight train hit me." Lincoln whispers, grabbing his head as he does so, "Well at least I managed to get Lola's talent before this happened." Then, the young boy turns and gets on his own feet, "Well, at least things can't get worse, right?"

Then, he slowly opens the door, expecting the usual chaos of the Loud House in the morning, only to be greeted by an unsettling quiet.

"What the?" He whispers, before stepping into the hallway, "Where is everyone?" He carefully steps over and checks his sisters' rooms… only to find that they are nowhere to be found. 'This is strange…'

Then, he slowly walks over and heads down the Loud House stairs… only for the smells of breakfast to hit his nose. 'Who's cookin'?' Lincoln carefully steps into the kitchen with that.

"Hey Lincoln." Lori greets while flipping a pancake. "How are you feelin'?"

Lincoln puts on a pained smile as he answers, "I'm feelin' great lori, where is everyone?"

"They went out already," then she walks over and puts a plate in front of him, "We decided that it would be a good idea to just have a fun day with you. You know, to get your stress levels down."

"What are you talking about?" Lincoln tilts his head in confusion.

"Your stress levels have been increasing lately and we're starting to get worried about you." Then she looks at him with concerned eyes, "Do you know why this is happening Lincoln?"

"Nope!" The boy quickly responds, before taking a bite out of his food, 'Yeah, it's not like I'm just taking talents and stuff… maybe… nah.' Then he continues, "So what's planned for today?"

Lori answers, "Well, we…"

A few minutes after that, Lori and Lincoln head out of the house for the first part of the day.

"And what way to start than at the arcade?" Lori quips, before bringing Lincoln over to her job and handing him a jar-full of coins. "Enjoy Lincoln!"

'This is going to be fun!' Lincoln thinks, before he rushes inside, followed by Lori who simply walks in.

Lincoln doesn't waste time playing around, making sure to hit every game he possibly can until he runs out of coins.

"Heh, no surprise there." Lori quips as she watches him take his last coin and send it into a coin pusher… only for more coins to come out.

Lincoln puts on a smile as he grabs the coins and returns to his game… a small headache starting to form.

After the short time he had at the arcade, Lori takes Lincoln to the mall and drops him off with Leni, who greets, "Hey Linky!"

And with that, the duo enter and begin doing Leni's favorite pastime: shopping.

'Heh, I still haven't gotten Leni's talent yet, now that I think of it.' Lincoln thinks as he takes a pile of clothes in his arms, 'I don't know if it feels good or bad anymore… for some reason I just feel like I need to get their talents…'

"You ok Lincoln?" Leni asks, while Lincoln simply assures her, "Yeah, just a headache."

Then, after spending some time at the mall, he spends some time with Luan at a party, Lana in a mud spring and Lily at the day care… leading to his time with Lynn.

"Come at me bro!" Lynn challenges, an Lincoln easily obliges by running and tackling his sister, forcing her back.

Yet, Lynn doesn't relent and pushes back, forcing Lincoln into the park mud.

"Eww! Gross!" Lincoln declares before jumping out and dusting himself off.

"Heh, bro, since when have you hated mud?" Lynn jokingly asks.

Lincoln hesitates, 'What the… what's going on? Ugh… why does my head hurt so much?' Then, he puts on another smile, "It's nothing, let's get back to the game.

And after that, and yet another tie, Lori drives Lincoln to Lucy's poetry club.

"Hide and seek, stand together. Parts in a wall." Lucy goes, only for Lincoln to put on a bored expression, "Hey Lucy, how about we put on something with more energy?"

"Lincoln, remember, this is poetry, it's quiet… it's not rock music." Lucy calmly responds… only for Lincoln to hold his head in pain.

"You ok Lincoln?" Lucy nervously ask.

"Yeah Lucy, I'm fine." The boy responds, while he thinks 'Yeah, except my head is hurting and I have the sudden urge to play the guitar.' Then he says, "It's just a minor headache is all, it's no big deal."

"Ok then…" Lucy goes, before returning to her poetry reading.

After that, Lori drives Lincoln to watch Lola perform, and win, yet another pageant, though she wishes she could remember the one the day prior.

And then, she drives him to the last stop for the day, Luna's gig for the day.

"This is for my brother Lincoln!" Luna declares, before she strums away at her heavy metal guitar, filling the room with energy.

Of course the nearby crowd shouts in excitement as she goes on, and yet… Lincoln finds himself trying to cover his ears, 'What's going on with me? Why do I feel like screaming at her to stop playing? Ugh, why does my head hurt so much?!" Then, slowly the world around the boy begins to fade, before he falls back and hits the ground with a loud *thud*

A few hours later…

"So what's going on Lisa?" Lori nervously asks, while the other sisters remain silent.

The scientist goes through her records before dropping her arms in defeat, "That one stress-free day didn't help. Lincoln's Neural Load has increased to six…"

"And what happened at the club?!" Luna goes, "He just passed out during my guitar solo!"

Lisa adjusts her glasses, "He had a seizure, just as I had feared…"

Leni then speaks up, "Lincoln said he was having headaches when we were shopping…"

"Interesting." Lisa goes, "Anything else to report sisters?"

And girls simply shake their heads.

"Ok then." Lisa goes, "Go off to your rooms for the night, I'm going to try and figure out what's going on."

Begrudgingly, the sisters leave Lisa with that.

'What's going on Lincoln?' Lisa thinks, putting a defeated expression on as she does so, 'Why did you just have a seizure and why the headaches?' then she turns and faces the device that shorted out just a few days prior, 'I wonder…"

And with that, she steps toward it.
