In the auditorium of Royal Woods Junior High, the Masquerade Ball boomed with life. The ball looked as if it took place in the 19th century, judging not only from the setting of the ball but also from the attire everyone wore. Many teenage boys and girls brought their dates with them to the lovely ball, and every one of them wore masks to hide their true faces. Many others chose to show up single, hoping to find their true love at the ball. The less they know of their friends' true identities, the more fun the ball would turn out to be. A lot of them came for the music, savoring the sounds of many songs from different eras, ranging from the disco era of the 1970's to the rock and pop of the 1980's all the way to the electronica and dance music of today. Others came to feast on the wonderful buffet of food laid out on the elegant tables. No one could resist chowing down on some of the best pizzas and burgers in town, but this year the teens were in for a treat when for the very first time they could sink their teeth into new delicacies, from braided broccoli and cheddar danish rings to chili-dog empanadas. Some of the tables even had wonderful ice sculptures, ranging from a beautiful swan to a knight in shining armor holding a lovely princess in his arms. As for everyone else, they just wanted to attend the masquerade ball to meet up with friends and have a nice chat with one another.
Lynn Loud, Jr. was in the mood for none of the above. The young girl knew that she was in the middle of one of the most fantastic Royal Woods Junior High events in the entire year, but she just wasn't feeling any of it. Music from The Weekend and Daft Punk couldn't charm the lovely girl with their hypnotically amazing songs. The smell of bacon cheeseburgers with glazed donuts as the buns couldn't catch her nose. As for all her masked friends having awesome conversations, all of it was nothing but white noise to her. Despite wearing a mask, they all knew her identity because the entire school knew that she was Cody's date.
In the crowd of over 150 young teens having a blast, Lynn was all alone. As she sat at her table, Lynn let out a silent sigh as she lifelessly twirled her drink in her glass. Lynn spotted her date bringing her a plate with a slice of pizza and a side order of fries. Like all the other boys, Cody wore a nice suit and black mask to show off his 19th century look. The sight of Cody Markus and the food didn't liven up her spirit in any way, but she did wear a fake smile just to try to go with the flow.
"Hey, Lynn. I brought you some good grub. The meat-lovers pizza seriously rocks!"
"Thanks, Cody. That's very nice of you. Aren't you going to eat anything?"
"Nah, I'm good. I ate a little before leaving the house to pick you up. Maybe I'll eat later." Cody noticed that not once did Lynn smile ever since they left her house for the Masquerade Ball. Genuinely smile, at least.
"Uh, Lynn?"
"Yeah, Cody?"
"Are you feeling all right?
"Of course, I'm all right. Why do you ask?"
"Well… you look kinda sad. You've been looking that way ever since I picked you up. Is something bothering you?"
"N-no, there's nothing wrong. Really! I'm having a great time!" Lynn immediately took a huge bite out of her pizza, chewed it up really good and swallowed it down. Then she really gulped down her glass of Coca-cola.
"Hey, Cody! Do you wanna dance?"
"Uh, sure! Why not-" Without letting Cody even finish his sentence, Lynn took his hand and nearly dragged him to the dance floor. Many yards away and sitting on the bleachers, a beautiful young blonde woman wearing a dark-blue dress watched Lynn dance with Cody. The young woman eyed Lynn suspiciously using her trusty binoculars, watching through her blue mask.
"All right, Lynn. This is the age where your hormones would rage out of control, and we're gonna make sure there'll be no funny business between you and your date. I pray to God that nothing insane is gonna happen tonight" Lori said to herself. The eldest of the Loud siblings whipped out her walky talky.
"Sleeping Beauty to White Swan. White Swan, do you read me, over?"
"/This is White Swan to Sleeping Beauty. From where I'm standing, so far, so good. Lynn and Cody don't look as if they're up to any risqué business, if you know what I mean. They're really behaving themselves out there./"
"Glad to hear, White Swan. Uh, Luan? Why do I hear so many guys on your side of the walky-talky?" After a few seconds of silence, Luan finally cleared her throat.
"/Oh, about that. I… kinda drew quite a lot of attention ever since we arrived at the ball. At this rate, I'd need to beat them away with a stick! Okay, easy now, boys! There's plenty of me to go around here!/" Lori's eyes widen from Luan's very words on the other end of the walky-talky. When Lori looked to her right, she saw a huge crowd of boys surrounding Luan and begging for her attention. In the center of all the salivating boys was Luan Loud, wearing a very kinky ballerina outfit and a white mask. Luan was dressed in white tights with a small white tutu, which revealed her nice juicy butt covered by tight pink panties. What was also very revealing was her cleavage. Her ballerina outfit was so tight that her slightly larger-than-average breasts looked like they could burst out of her dress at any minute. Luan's body wasn't curvy, but she did have a slightly athletic build. Her slim muscles and her v-shaped body was seriously catching many of the boys' attention.
Luan was enjoying every single minute of it all. Even some guys with their dates nearly walked away from their girlfriends just to check out Luan, pissing some of the other girls off and actually dragging their boyfriends away from the sexy 14-year-old girl. When Luan watched one boy get dragged away from her by his own girlfriend, she let out her trademark laugh, making many of the boys blush from such an alluring laugh. Lori couldn't help but shake her head in disbelief.
"… Oh brother. Maybe bringing Luan here was a big mistake," Lori said to herself. Lori then shifted her binoculars towards Lynn and Cody, hoping there was no fooling around between the two. Lynn showed off some cool dance-moves out there, which made some people form a small ring around her and Cody.
"GO, LYNN! GO, CODY! GO, LYNN! GO, CODY!" many of the teens were shouting. This made Lori wear a smirk on her face.
"Awright. Smooth sailing so far. What could possibly go wrong?" Lori asked herself.
While Lynn and Cody were dancing, eight big guys rushed through the ring of people surrounding Lynn and Cody and gathered around their star-quarterback.
"Yo, Cody! You gotta come with us! Jack and Mikey are having a contest to see who can eat the most hot dogs! YOU GOTTA CHECK IT OUT!"
"Awesome, Nate! So what's the score?"
"Mikey at 20 while Jack wolfed down 18!"
"AWRIGHT! LET'S GO, BOYS!" Cody and his eight football pals rushed off to the hot dog eating contest.
"I'll be right back, honey! This won't take long!" Cody exclaimed before disappearing from Lynn's sight. Lynn was left all alone on the dancefloor, but Lynn didn't mind that one bit.
"One: I don't care where the hell you go. Two: NEVER call me 'honey.'" Lynn looked down and felt her face blush a little as she rubbed her arm a little.
"… Only Lincoln gets to call me that name…" Lynn whispered to herself.
Suddenly, all the lights went out in the Masquerade Ball and the music came to a screeching halt. A huge commotion erupted throughout the ball as the teens and chaperones asked one another what the hell happened to the lights and the music.
Seconds later one spotlight flashed over the center of the dancefloor of the ball, and underneath that spotlight was a young man wearing a black and red suit and a black hat. Wearing a lovely black mask over his face, the young man struck a pose, tilted his head and lowered his hat to cover his face. As many boys and girls, especially girls, surrounded the mysterious young man, the deejay of the ball began to play the song "Billie Jean" from Michael Jackson. Going with the rhythm of the song, the youth in black and red thrusted his hips and held his crotch while doing so. This made many of the girls woo at the mystery-man. Lynn Lound, Jr. was clearly no exception. The beautiful girl in the light-blue dress stared at the mystery-man, almost looking as if his very charm hypnotized her.
"Who is that boy? He looks so damn slick and smooth… and really SEXY…" Lynn said to herself. The young man started to dance to "Billie Jean", starting with the moonwalk and later on spinning on his heels. More and more teens started gathering around the young man in black and red as they watched him pay homage to the King Of Pop. What really caught their attention was the young man's dance-move called ticking. He danced as if he was a machine, "ticking" at every tune of the song. After he was done ticking away, the mysterious dancer started shaking his butt everywhere, making a helluva lot of girls experience a serious rise in heat. Especially Lynn. The brown-haired girl tried to resist the urge to grab the young man's behind.
Lynn's eyes widen in shock.
"Wait a minute. I recognize that butt-shake anywhere. No. No way. It can't be him," Lynn said to herself. When the young man finally finished dancing his ass off and the song ended, the lights flashed back on. Over 100 people surrounding him gave him a thunderous applause from his dance-performance, many of which believed would make the King Of Pop proud. When the crowd finally scattered throughout the auditorium to do their own thing, the masked teen approached Lynn. The young man smiled, took her hand and gave it a light kiss. The very touch of his lips made Lynn blush deeply, giggle like a little girl and turned her face away from him, embarrassed by what he was doing. The mystery man then bowed to Lynn like a gentleman when the deejay of the ball started playing a slow-dance song.
"… May I have this dance, my lady?" the teenage boy asked. Lynn lifted up her dress a little and bowed down to him like a lady.
"… Yes you may, my lord…" Giving her a wonderful smile, the young man gently wrapped one arm around her waist and gently held her hand with his other. Lynn let out a gasp when she felt how nicely built the teenager truly was. Despite appearing slim, the mysterious teenage boy was ripping with granite-hard muscles, just like the legendary Bruce Lee.
"… Are you enjoying the Masquerade Ball?" the teen whispered in her ear. Lynn felt her jaw drop.
"LINCOLN?!" Lynn gently lifted up his hat to see if it really was him. When she saw strands of white hair sticking out of his hat underneath, she placed his hat back down and gave him a huge hug.
"Holy shit! It IS you!" Filled with so much joy, Lincoln gave Lynn a big hug lifted Lynn right off her feet.
"Lincoln, what the hell are you doing here?" Lynn asked.
"Well, you didn't seem happy when you were on your way to the Masquerade Ball, so I had to come to help you find your smile again," Lincoln said. Lynn smiled to her little brother and gently placed her soft hand on Lincoln's face. Lincoln blushed lightly from his beloved's very touch.
"Well, you sure did a great job in doing that, little bro. But what are we going to do about Cody? He's not gonna like seeing the two of us being together."
"I don't care about Cody. All I care about is being with you," Lincoln said. Lincoln quickly gave Lynn a deep, passionate kiss. Turning as red as a fire hydrant, Lynn reluctantly pushed Lincoln away from her.
"Lincoln, don't. The others could see us…" Lynn whispered. Grinning in a naughty way, Lincoln slowly slid his hand down Lynn's body and then gave Lynn's butt a nice squeeze. That made Lynn let out quite a yelp.
"Who cares if they watch us, Lynn? They may know who you are, but they don't know who I am. Lynn, this is the first time we can have some real fun together without worrying about whether or not anyone will notice brother and sister having a lot of fun each other! We can finally let loose without a care in the world!" Letting Lincoln's words sink in, Lynn gave Lincoln a naughty grin and grabbed onto his butt as well.
"… I like it when you take serious risks, Lincoln. Let's have some fun…" Lynn opened her mouth wide and slipped her tongue right into Lincoln's mouth. Lincoln closed his eyes and sucked on Lynn's tongue and then slipped his tongue all around hers. When they heard some teenagers giggle from their French kiss, they immediately slipped their tongues away from each other and regained their composure. Lynn embraced Lincoln and rested her chin on Lincoln's shoulder, dancing to their slow song. Lincoln felt streams of joy flowing through his veins when he continued to lead in the dance with his beloved sister. When he opened his eyes, he spotted a very beautiful young woman in a white ballerina outfit with kinky pink panties. His eyes grew quite large when he checked out her sexy body, especially her nice tits that looked like they were about to pop out of her outfit. He also admired her elegant dancing skills, which was a combination of ballet and urban dance. The ballerina in a white mask slowly danced her way towards Lincoln when she noticed him checking her out. Lincoln had to admit that she had quite a lot of guts to approach him despite seeing him dance with another girl.
"Hey there, handsome. What's your name?" the light-brown haired girl asked.
"I… I can't really say…" Lincoln said nervously. Giggling lightly, the brown-haired ballerina caressed Lincoln's face with her silky-smooth fingers.
"Ooooh, playing hard to get. I like that. You look so damn good I just wanna eat you up! When you're done dancing with her, come have some fun with me…" The girl gave Lincoln a nice kiss on the cheek. When she turned around and left, she let off a wonderful fragrance Lincoln took in. Her irresistible scent and her smooch made Lincoln's eyes transform into a pair of big hearts. Seeing how Lincoln was reacting, Lynn quickly turned Lincoln and herself around so he couldn't see her anymore.
"Hey hey HEY. Remember me?" Lynn asked. Lincoln regained his composure and blushed very deeply.
"Oh. Sorry, Lynn…" Lynn couldn't help but laugh a little bit. Boys will be boys, Lynn thought to herself.
Meanwhile, far away at the bleachers, Lori continued to keep a watchful eye on Lynn and the mysterious boy in black and red. Judging from the way the newcomer was interacting with Lynn, there could be a good chance that she had to step in and keep things under control.
"I don't know who you are, but you better not hurt Lynn in any way. However, you are kinda cute, and you do know how to shake that nice ass of yours. Maybe you could be a better choice for Lynn instead of that Cody…" Lori said to herself.
"Hey, Lori! I don't know that boy, but holy damn is he hot! When Lynn lets him go and gets back with Cody, I'm so gonna hook up with him!" Luan exclaimed.
"Whoa, calm down, Luan. Remember our top priority: protect Lynn from any pervs out there," Lori said, remembering the attempted rape back at the park a few months ago. Luan cooled her jets and lowered her eyes in shame.
"Yeah, you're right, Lori. I'll just get his number later!" Luan said. When Luan looked over her shoulder to check on Lynn and her dancing partner, she spotted Cody approaching them, and he did not look like a happy camper. Lori spotted Cody as well through her binoculars, and that made a bead of sweat stream down from her forehead.
"Oh SHIT…" Lori rasped.
In a blink of an eye, Cody grabbed Lincoln by the neck and threw him right into a table full of fruits and veggies, crushing the table and reducing it to a heap of wooden pieces. Lincoln rubbed his head and weakly tried to get up as he heard someone calling out to him. Could it be Lynn? That, he wasn't sure. Just when he was about to stand up, Cody grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him right off of his feet.
"Okay, you little twerp. I don't know who you are, but you have a lot of nerve to dance with my girl!" Cody asked. Without waiting for a response, Cody tossed Lincoln right into another table full of good gourmet food, smashing it into pieces. Surprisingly, Lincoln still maintained consciousness and actually got up from Cody's onslaught. Everyone, even Cody himself, was surprised from his toughness. When Cody was about to grab Lincoln again, Lynn jumped onto Cody's back and gave him a good rear-naked choke.
"Leave him alone, ya damn meathead!" Lynn screamed.
"Lynn, what the hell are you doing?" Cody asked. Not bothering to answer back, Lynn started tightening her squeeze on Cody's neck. Eight of Cody's football buddies were heading towards the tussle between Lincoln, Lynn and Cody. Just when they were about 10 yards away from them, Lori and Luan tripped them all with their broomsticks, making them fall on top of each other like dominos. The eight football players playing for the Royal Woods Roosters stood up and faced Lori and Luan, towering over them easily.
"You just made a huge mistake, little girls. Nobody does that to the Royal Woods Roosters…" the halfback of the Roosters stated, cracking his knuckles. Lori and Luan got into their fighting positions.
"You're not gonna hurt Lynn and that guy in black! We won't let you! Besides… WE KNOW KARATE!" Luan said. Lori stared at Luan strangely.
"… Do you actually know karate?" Lori asked.
"Actually, no," Luan responded quietly. Suddenly, the eight football players began to back away from Lori and Luan as fear shot right through their brains like a sniper-bullet.
"Oh shit. OH SHIT. Ain't no way I'm gonna mess with that! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" The eight football meatheads ran away from Lori and Luan with their tails between their legs. Lori couldn't believe that the big guys got so easily intimidated by a couple of girls.
"Oh yeah! When you got it, you got it!" Lori said.
"Acutally, Lori, they ran away because of… him." When Lori turned around, she saw a 7'2" tall giant in a nice suit.
"Don't worry, girls. Those boys won't be causing you any more trouble," the giant stated.
"Oh… thank you so much, mister, uh…" Lori wished he had a name-tag on.
"Jake. Jake Castle. I'm the gym teacher of this school."
"Thank you, Mr. Castle. Can you please help Lynn and that kid in black? They really need your help!" Luan said.
"Actually, girls, those two are doing quite all right." When Lori and Luan turned their attention to Lynn and the mystery-boy, they were surprised to see what was happening. While Lynn was choking Cody out, Lincoln was giving Cody a number of good punches to the ribs and the head. Cody was a really big guy, and many people watching the fight were amazed as to how strong the young man turned out to be despite being nearly 12 years old. When Lynn let Cody go, Lincoln gave Cody a really good straight punch to the solar plexus and made him buckle over in pain. Wearing a very serious face behind his mask, Lincoln grabbed Cody by the face and made him look straight into his eyes.
"You want to know who I am? I'm Lynn's boyfriend. Her REAL boyfriend!" Letting out a battle-cry, Lincoln gave Cody a monstrous uppercut so powerful that it launched Cody into the air and then land him into a huge chocolate cake, destroying both the cake and the table it was on. Cody was completely out-cold.
The entire capacity-crowd cheered for Lincoln's victory over the big quarterback of the Royal Woods Roosters. They were all amazed that not only was he a great dancer but he was also a really tough fighter! Lynn cheered and gave Lincoln a big hug. Glad the fight was over, the deejay blasted the song "One More Time" by Daft Punk.
"Oh, thank God you're okay! Did he hurt you?"
"N-no, he didn't really hurt me too bad. The only thing hurt is my pride… and my back. Ouch." Lynn giggled and kissed him lightly on the lips. Glad that Lynn decided to end her charade with Cody, Lincoln kissed Lynn back and relished her taste. Lori and Luan let out a sigh of relief when the conflict finally ended.
"I'm so glad you're all right, my love…" Lynn said.
"Me too, honey…" Lincoln responded.
"Wow. I'm sure glad that's all over. I'm surprised that hot stud is still wearing his hat after getting tossed all over the place," Luan said.
"Speaking of hat, Luan, who the hell is that boy? Seriously, it's time we end this mystery!" While Lincoln and Lynn were busy giving each other nice wet kiss, Lori approached them and whipped off the boy's hat and mask.
"Okay, settle down, you two. Now let's take a good look as to who you are why you look so HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHITLOAD MOTHER OF ALL FUCKING SHIT." Lori stared in shock when she finally realized that Lynn was in the arms of her little brother: Lincoln. Lincoln and Lynn immediately took their lips away from each other and felt a serious dose of worry wash all over them.
"… Lincoln… your mask… your hat…" Lynn whispered, removing her mask.
"…. Oh no…" Lincoln exclaimed quietly. The entire auditorium came to a screeching halt when they saw Lynn in the arms of her younger brother, Lincoln. Even the music from the deejay came to a total halt with a record-scratch. All eyes were on Lynn and Lincoln, and the auditorium was so silent you could actually hear a pin drop. Lori was shocked as hell, but Luan was in even more shock. Luan lowered her head in shame and blushed very deeply when she realized that she flirted with her own little brother.
"Is that Lynn's little brother?" One girl asked.
"Holy shit, Lynn made out with her own little brother!" One boy exclaimed.
Not knowing what to do, only three words rang in Lincoln's and Lynn's heads:
We. Are. FUCKED.
