The Louds are now faced with a difficult dilemma. Most of the sisters fear for Logan's safety, and wanted to leave as possible. But Lincoln wanted to at the very least give him a chance to see Ellen before they leave, and maybe even the sisters as well.
Lori: Alright, guys. We need to go, right now!
The other sisters agreed, while Lincoln looked back at Logan. He had a conflicted look on his face, and Lincoln could tell what he was thinking; he really wanted to meet Ellen, but he wasn't sure about meeting the sisters.
Lincoln: What's the matter, Logan?
Logan turned around to see Lincoln.
Logan: I…I really want to see Ellen again…but my other sisters…
Lincoln looked at him with a sympathetic look and gently placed his hands on his cheeks.
Lincoln: Do you really want to?
Logan nodded.
Logan: I want to thank Ellen for bringing me here to you guys. But…
Then, Lori spoke up once she heard what was going on, and she turned towards the two boys.
Lori: Lincoln, let's just get out of here. You remember what Logan said about the other two sisters?
Lincoln nodded.
Lincoln: I know that. It's just that…well, look at him!
He pointed to Logan, who was looking at Ellen and the other two sisters, who were talking to each other. Lincoln then leaned closer to Lori.
Lincoln: Yes, he's scared to meet the other sisters, but don't you think it'l lbe worth it to meet Ellen? Right now, he's anxiously waiting to meet her, just like some people are anxiously waiting for an author to continue a story even though he was having difficulties at school, writer's block and temporary loss of motivation of said story!
Lori looked at him, confused as to what he was talking about.
Lori: W-What?
Lincoln shook his head.
Lincoln: Forget I said that. The point is; don't you think it'll be worth it if he could meet Ellen? I'm pretty sure with her around, the other two won't do anything.
Lori and the other sisters looked at Logan, who was still looking out at Ellen, who was closing the door, preparing to take her older sisters inside the restraunt. Logan stared on, with a worried look on his face. Lincoln placed a hand on his shoulder, and Logan looked back at him.
Lincoln: Logan? What do you think?
Logan looked down a bit, finding his shoes interesting for a moment, before he looked back.
Logan: I'm…I'm not ready…I really want to meet Ellen…but the other two sisters are there…
The Louds looked at him, and while the sisters were relieved, Lincoln himself was rather disappointed that the little boy would not go and meet his hero. But, to be fair, Ellen is being accompanied by two people that harassed him hi whole time being there. So, with a final look to the girls, he gave a sigh beflre looking at Logan.
Lincoln: Alright. Maybe not today, alright?
He then placed a hand on Logan's back, making him give a small smile and nodded.
Logan: Okay.
The two boys gave each other a smile as Lori started the car. They then heard Lynn mumble,
Lynn: Good riddance. If I were to see those two idiots, I would've just simply-
As Lynn rambled on, Logan looked at Lincoln. He just shrugged.
Lincoln: She's pretty protective…perhaps too overprotective at times.
Logan nodded in understanding as the car drove away, leaving Ellen, Fiona and Jessie behind.
Later, the other louds returned home, having finished their meals for the moment. Logan was slightly lagging behind Lincoln. He was still feeling a bit down since he never got to meet Ellen, but Lincoln was there to support him.
Lincoln: Don't worry, Logan. Anyways, I doubt things would go smoothly. You know, with the other two sisters, and my sisters together. You could just imagine how awkward the tension would be.
Logan looked at him, and after thinking about the supposed scene, now understood what he meant.
Logan: Yeah. You're right.
Lincoln gave a smile as he ruffled his hair gently. Logan then asked,
Logan: So, what can I do now?
Lincoln shrugged, but just before he could answer, Logan felt his left land grabbed-rather roughly-by Lana, who overheard what Logan said, and was excited to try out playing with him.
Lana: Hey there, Logan! I heard you're bored! Come on, I'll take us to the backyard!
Logan widened his eyes in shock, taken aback, before he felt his right hand yanked by a surprising force. It was Lola.
Lola: No! He wants to be with me and my tea party! No way in heck would he be want to be covered in mud!
Logan looked at Lola in confusion.
Logan: What?!
But Lana didn't give Lola a chance to explain, for she tugged his arm in her direction.
Lana: No! He'll be with me!
Lola tugged back.
Lola: No! He's with me!
Lana: Me!
Lola: Me!
The twins continued to argue over one another before Lincoln was able to separate them.
Lincoln: Girls! Easy, there.
But the twins were too busy arguing over who'll be the one to go first.
Lola: I want to be the first one to play with him!
Lana shook her head.
Lana: No! I want him first!
Then, Lincoln had enough, and shouted.
Lincoln: THAT'S ENOUGH!
The twins, and Logan flinched a bit at his shouting. Lincoln looked at the young children briefly, before sighing and pinching.
Lincoln: Alright *sigh*. As much as I want you two to have fun with him, you two have to learn to share, alright?
The twins looked at one another, and grumbled a bit, before nodding. Lincoln then nodded,
Lincoln: Now, Logan gets to pick who he'll be with? Is that okay, Logan?
Logan gave a nod.
Lincoln: Good. Now, choose who you'll be with for today.
The twins took a few steps back, before Logan looked at both of them. Lana and Lola gave them their best pouty faces, and Logan kind of thought of them as kind of adorable. Then the twins gave their reasoning for his supposed choice.
Lola: Please choose me. I promise I'll take great care of you, my little prince.
Lana made an explanation of her own.
Lana: I can make your day a muddy, but exciting day.
Logan listened to their explanations. She liked Lana's reasoning, and he'd like some excitement in his life. But there does appear to be mud involved. And while something inside of him wants him to pick Lana out of excitement, he himself really didn't want to get himself dirty. So, before he could have his nerves talk him out of it, he quickly sidestepped over to Lola. Lola was excited that Logan chose him, while Lana…oh, Lana. If I were to say she's upset, that would be the understatement of the century.
Lola: HAH! I told you he'd rather choose me, Lana!
Lana looked on, eyes growing a bit watery.
Lana: L-L-L…Logan, w-wait…please thi-
But Lola stood between then.
Lola: The choice was made, Lana. Now 'bug' off.
Logan looked at Lola, briefly appalled by her rudeness, before he looked at Lana.
Logan: Sorry, Lana. Maybe sometime later today? Would that work?
Lana looked at Logan, and while still looking betrayed, she gave a light nod. Logan gave a small smile, before he felt himself dragged away by Lola.
Lola: Come, Logan. We mustn't keep waiting.
Lola and Logan walked to the house, leaving Lincoln and Lana behind. Lincoln looked down at an upset Lana.
Lincoln: It's okay, Lana. Logan will come back and see you later on today.
He placed a hand on her hair, but she shook her head. Lincoln heard the poor chap's broken voice.
Lana: N-No. That's not it…it's just that…I was right. Logan likes Lola more than me…
Lincoln was upset at seeing his little sister upset, so he hugged her, and Lana just let herself lean towards him. Lincoln rubbed her back as he explained.
Lincoln: Don't worry, Lana. Remember, Logan doesn't remember us. Once he'll get his memories back, he'll be sure to love you more than he does now again.
Lana looked at him, and with tears streaming down, she gave a slight nod.
Lana: *sniffle* O-O…Okay…I hope you're right…
Lincoln grew a smile, and tightened his hug. Lana smiled some more as she felt his warmth. Then she thought to herself, "Oh, I hope Logan treats Lola well. She's got a history of anger management issues and manipulation tricks. Poor little boy…"
