The Bad Future
Chapter 25 The Good Future
June 4 2014
Everyone gathered around the stage. Nickelodeon was there and he had a microphone. Danny, Jenny, Timmy, Jimmy, and Spongebob were all there.
"Wow, this is so exciting! Nickelodeon is about to introduce the brand new show that's gonna air on the network!" Spongebob said with an excited look.
"Well, it's not a show Spongebob, it's a short." Jimmy corrected.
"Yeah, but maybe if it's successful enough, maybe it'll become its own cartoon on the network." Jenny said.
"Well, I'm sure it'll be a while before something like that happens. The new short is going to air for the first time tomorrow." Timmy said.
"But still this is very exciting!" Wanda said as she and Cosmo poofed above them.
"Yeah, I can't wait to meet them all." Danny said.
"Ahem, may I have your attention please!" Nickelodeon said. Everyone stopped talking and stared up at him. "As you know, tomorrow there will be a brand new short that will air on the network. We are all very happy to see new cartoons join us. But I'm sure you've all waited long enough, so allow me to introduce Nickelodeon's brand new cartoon…" Nickelodeon said when the curtains behind him opened. "…The Loud House!" He introduced. Everyone clapped and cheered.
Danny looked at the people on the stage, something was strange about them. They looked so familiar. There was one boy and ten girls standing on the stage, smiling and waving. But then he looked at the person in the middle that made his heart stop. It was him. It was, what was his name again? It was at least nine years ago. It was Lincoln Loud.
"Guys, it's him!" Danny said in shock.
"Who?" Spongebob asked.
"That's him, Lincoln Loud!"
"You mean that person you met in the future all those years ago?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah, him."
"I thought you said he had an eyepatch." Timmy said.
"Yeah but I changed the future remember?" Danny said as he ran towards the stage.
"Danny wait!" Jimmy tried to call after him.
"These new cartoon characters may now walk off the stage and greet you all." Nickelodeon said. The Loud family walked off the side of the stage with Lincoln in front.
"Wow guys this is awesome! We're actually airing on the network!" Lincoln said.
"Yeah but it would be better if we were an actual show instead of just a short." Lori said.
"Wait, we're gonna be a pair of shorts?" Leni asked.
"No Leni, I mean, ugh nevermind." Lori said irritated.
They got off the stage when Danny ran up to Lincoln, stopping them from going any further.
"Lincoln! It's you!"
"Uh, yeah, it's me." Lincoln said, a little startled and confused.
"It's great to see you again!" Danny said.
"Wait, what do you mean 'again'? I've never seen you before."
"Yeah, but I've seen you before. You were the leader of a cartoon resistance against Nickelodeon because he was cancelling all of our shows and you and I fought in a war together but then I got sent back to the present and I changed the future and now you're here!" Danny said.
Lincoln looked at his sisters. They shrugged in confusion. Lana twirled her finger around her head telling him he was nuts. "Uh sorry, that's some story but you've got the wrong guy." Lincoln said as they all walked away. The family disbanded to meet other cartoon characters, so Lincoln was alone now.
"Lincoln wait!" Danny called after him. He stopped in front of him holding his hands out. "Maybe you don't remember, but I do. I went into the future and we were best friends and we fought in war for cartoons. You were called RebelToons." He tried to tell him.
"I told you, you've got the wrong guy." Lincoln said.
"Hey lame-o! What's going on?" Someone asked.
Danny looked up and saw someone else. He couldn't believe it, his jaw dropped in shock.
"Hey Linc, who's this?" She asked.
"I don't know, someone who says I'm a leader of a cartoon resistance."
"Hey, you're…..Ronnie Anne!" Danny stuttered.
"The one and only." Ronnie Anne said but then looked confused. "Wait, how do you know my name?" She asked him.
"I thought you were dead!" Danny yelled in shock. This caused everyone to stop what they were doing and stare at him.
"Excuse me?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Didn't you die in an explosion? Causing Lincoln to become serious and super depressed?" Now Danny had attracted a crowd, and everyone was staring at him like he was crazy. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne stared at each other awkwardly and confused.
"Do I look dead to you?" Ronnie Anne asked getting slightly annoyed. "Well no, it's just that I-"
"Danny!" Someone called.
Suddenly Jenny ran in and grabbed Danny pulling him along with her. "I'm really sorry, he's been through a lot. Whatever he just told you just ignore it, he doesn't know what he's talking about." Jenny said and pulled Danny away from the crowd. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne stared as they watched the two walk away.
"Danny what the heck? Are you trying to act like you're crazy?" Jenny asked.
"I'm not crazy Jenny, it really happened, she really did die."
"I know but focus Danny. You changed the future. There was never a cartoon war, she never died, and you…" She hesitated. "You never met Lincoln."
Danny looked down glumly when she said that. Though he didn't want to believe it, she was right. "I need a moment to myself." He said and walked away.
He walked to a nearby table and sat down. How was he supposed to move on knowing everything that happened in the original timeline? Lincoln didn't even know who Danny was. What was he supposed to do now.
"Hey, mind if I sit here?" A familiar voice asked.
"Yeah sure, go head." Danny said, not looking up.
"Hey, you okay?" The person asked.
"Not really, well it's kinda hard to explain." Danny said and then looked up, but then gasped again when he saw who he was talking to: Clyde Mcbride.
"Clyde?!" He asked jumping out of his seat.
"That's my name, don't wear it out." Clyde said. "But how DO you know my name?"
"It's great to see you again!"
"I've never seen you before in my life, but okay." Clyde said. "Aren't you that crazy person who was saying that Ronnie Anne died?" Clyde asked him.
"Look I'm sorry about all that but, well, like I said it's hard to explain." He told him.
"Hey." Someone else said. Danny turned and saw Lincoln standing near him. "Weren't you saying something about knowing me in the future and then changing the timeline?" He asked.
"Yeah." Danny said.
"What exactly did you mean by that?" He asked.
"Yeah, I wanna know to." Ronnie Anne said walking up next to Lincoln.
"Count me in." Clyde said.
"You all wanna know this story?" Danny asked. They all nodded.
"Yeah, it sounded pretty cool hearing that I was a leader of some cartoon resistance." Lincoln said.
"And I wanna know the story of me dying in an explosion." Ronnie Anne said.
"Well…" Danny began. "It all started on the new year's celebration of 2005. "
