Chapter 12: All Bonds Matter.

Quick Note: PLEASE READ THE AUTHOR"S NOTE AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER. Hope you enjoy!


"How long do you think it will take for Luna to get discharged?" Leni asked.

"They said she just needs to stay in the hospital for this last night." Lori responded.

A slight pause was given.

"I think you should go home tonight.." Lori began.

"I'm not leaving her side." Leni tried to argue.

"We need to have Luan and Luna make up at some point, So it would be better to have me around just in case they fight. I am the strongest after all." Lori flashed a grin.

Leni looked up to the ceiling. "Buuuuut didn't me and Luan beat you in a fight?" She stated.

The grin turned into an embarrassed look on Lori's face. "It was an unfair fight.."

"But I'll go anyways.. Lucy probably has her hands full." Leni said.

Lori nodded. Leni went over to the elevator and waved goodbye to her oldest sister. After her sister was gone, Lori walked over to the room Luna was in. On the outside of the room was Luan, who was hesistant to go in.

"What if she yells at me again?" Luan looked towards Lori.

"It was in the heat of the moment.. Luna knows that she shouldn't have done that. She's just misses Linky like the rest of us."

Luan slowly nodded. The two sisters entered the room and sat down in the chairs next to the bed. Luna was fast asleep.

"You know what's crazy?" Luan asked.

"What is it?" Lori replied.

"Luna walks around with extreme confidence, But inside there's similarities she shares with Lincoln. Maybe that's why their bond is so strong.."

Lori agreed. Luna was as strong willed as anyone was. With all the time that Lincoln spent with her, He must have had some of it rub of on him. Otherwise he would have never taken that chance with Lynn. It was pretty impressive. If anyone was going to find Lincoln, Luna was the best chance for that to happen.

"I'm kind of jealous really.. I wish I could be like them, to be able to trust in someone as much as they trust each other." Luan held her head down.

"You know, Leni feels that way with you right now." Lori admitted.

"Oh come on, you're just saying that." Luan giggled.

"No I mean it. When me and Leni fought, She went directly to you for help. Then in the fight, She relied heavily on you to take me down. As much as I hate to say that."

Luan nodded. She knew what Lori said was correct. Maybe this house has an antidote after all.

Meanwhile, Luna found herself back inside of the purple room. Same piano and the same stool next to it.

"What do you want now? She asked looking for herself.

No answer.

"Hey, you can come out now!" Luna yelled out.

Once again, she was met with no answer.

Luna groaned. This was aggravating..What was the point of her mind taking her here, If her younger self wasn't going to show up.

After three more futile attempts, Luna walked over to the piano and sat on the stool. She looked at the keys. For some weird reason, The keys were a complete different color than the piano. This time instead of purple, they were blue.

"Why did they change color." She thought.

Suddenly the keys started to play themselves. The tempo was very familiar to Luna, Who had played something very similar to this before...


"Rock-star by night, I keep it so simple"
"Finding the key, move it so nimble?"

"Ugh! That's no good at all!" Luna scribble out the verse.

It was two pm on a rainy Monday. Everyone except Luna and Lincoln went out to get groceries with Rita and Lynn Sr. Lincoln didn't go because he didn't feel up to it, while Luna wanted to finish up new song she had been writing. For the most part it was finished, But the ending didn't sound to well.

"I'll rock it, so rock it...No..umm.." "Lifestyle so fast...No that's not me."

Soon, Her room began building up with papers crumbled up. It was drivng her crazy. How could something that came so easy to her stall up? Luna dropped to the floor and stared at the ceiling.

"Maybe I should just relax for a bit." She mumbled to herself.

Lincoln knocked on the door and walked in. "Hey Luna? What's going on."

"I'm just struggling to finish up the song here." Luna sighed.

"I could tell." Lincoln laughed. He has already seen the papers that were flooding her room.

"It's not funny Lincoln. What am I gonna do? My band needs a new song for our band to pratice." Luna sighed.

Lincoln took a second to think.

"Maybe you should free throw some lyrics." He decided.

Luna looked at her brother with confusion.

"Lincoln I don't know if that's gonna finish the song."

"It may not. But at least it could be fun." Lincoln smiled.

Luna sighed. What other choice did she have?

"Ok I'll start and you finish We'll do a short verse." She said.

Lincoln nodded. Luna took a deep breath.

"Rock-star by night, I keep it so simple" She started.

"Finding my path, I Move fast and so nimble." Lincoln added.

"The haters we pass, fall down and will tremble."

"Whatever bad thoughts, We'll pop them like pimples."

The two of them looked at each other and began to laugh.

"Pop them like pimples?" Luna smiled.

"Yeah, Seemed like it fits perfectly." Lincoln replied.

"I'll for sure write that down." The young rocker grinned even harder. The lyrics weren't good, but it had help her cheer up a bit.

"Hey Lincoln, Come help me write down a melody for these." She stated, moving back to her piano.

"Really? Alright!" Lincoln pumped his fists.

The blue keys slowly began to die down in volume and in seconds, completely stopped playing. Luna looked away from the keys and just smiled.

"Small moments like that define the type of person he really is." She said, feeling a tear run down her cheek.


"WHAT ARE YOU TRULY THINKING LINCOLN?!"

"AHHHHHH!" Lincoln shot up.

He was surrounded by Rina and Lynn. They were in a hotel room that was a good size for three people. There were two beds, But He wouldn't have doubted that there's a pull out bed next to one of the couches. He was drenched in a pool of sweat dripping all over him, but didn't have a clue as to why. What did it all mean? Worry about it latter was the answer he thought of. The boy took a look at Lynn. She looked better compared to the last night. Although she was wearing a shirt of Rina's and her hair was straight down.

"What is it Lincoln?" Lynn looked concerned.

"It's um...nothing." Lincoln faced away from her.

Lynn slowly nodded and walked into the bathroom.

Rina moved over to the edge of Lincoln's bed and just sat down.

"Is something's on your mind Lincoln?"

"How'd you figure that?"

"Well, You were just staring at Lynn, So I'm assuming you had something to do with her."

Lincoln paused. Rina already knew about the freak out he had back at the police station. He didn't understand what caused it, or why it happened, But he did know that Lynn would probably be extra cautious about what occurred.

"I had a dream..But I can't remember what it was about anyways."

Rina grew an upset look on her face.

"It's not anything to worry about. It's probably just a small nightmare." Lincoln tried to convince her. It came off as a huge lie, but she bought it.

The blonde crusader looked at the ceiling for just a couple of moments. She knew what she wanted to tell Lincoln, but the wording of it never really clicked with her.
It wouldn't have mattered anyways, Lincoln surely would have got the gist of what she said anyways.

"Do you ever feel... as if you're taking a lot on for Lynn?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" Lincoln replied.

"Well, All the danger and all of the pain you've gone through so far. Lynn has helped quite a bit, But I feel like you're always the one putting your life on the line." Rina said.

She wasn't wrong. From the moment those two step out of the Loud house, Lincoln has had to deal with so much things, he would have never even expected to deal with:
The bus chase with Luna, the robbers, the gun shot, the police breakout. Each new situation, Lincoln has had to be stronger and mature faster than he ever could have imagined.

"We've all have had a rough go lately Rina. I knew it would have never been easy to leave my home like this, but if there's one thing I wanted to make sure of, It's Lynn's happiness. I couldn't let her leave on her own, not because I don't believe she could handle herself, but because I would have never been able to live with myself knowing the house was so toxic, it drove away one of my sisters. If I have to keep grinding it out for her, I will." The white haired boy said.

Rina looked so shocked. Lincoln was no longer the young orange-shirted kid she happened to see on a bus. He practically shed that label when he fired a round into one of the strongest men she's ever seen. No, this Lincoln was much tougher. In fact, she admired the quick change in him.

"Alright no need to get heroic." Rina joked.

Lincoln smiled. "So what's our next move?"

Little did both of them know, The walls were so thin, Lynn was able to hear everything.

No words from the athlete, just a extremely red face and a huge grin on her face.
