Story Summary/Prompt: Lincoln stays in dimension 63.

Epilogue Two: My New Home

"Come on guys!" A young, white-haired girl cheerfully skips along, with her three friends following closely behind. "At the rate you're goin' we're never gonna get to the game shop before it closes, ya slowpokes!"

"Haha! Linka, wait up!" Ron Andy chases after the girl, though given his slow pace, it's obvious he's just letting the girl have some fun. "Plus, that's offensive to Pokémon!"

"Hurry up then!" The young girl's voice echoes cheerfully in the mid-day air, as she devolves her step, allowing her friends to finally catch up. "If you don't hurry, the Games and Dance Club is gonna close!"

Ron Andy, of course, is the first to catch up. Given his heavy breathing, it's obvious he's out of breath, not that he'd let Linka see him like that, "Heh, you're really excited huh?"

Linka flares her arms at the boy, "Of course I am! It's the first time in weeks where I haven't had to worry about some crazy inter-dimensional beings trying to end the world or something like that!"

*Pant* Claudia is the next to catch up, "Hey, heh, guys, heh, please stop for a sec!" She stops and holds her knees for a moment, desperate to catch her breath. "You're, going too fast. *Pant* this is the most running I've done all year!"

"What about the time you had to run from my crazed brothers?" Linka chuckles, "You had to run way more that day then at all today.

Quickly, Claudia counters, "That was different! And last year!"

"Yeah!" Cristopher finally joins the group… only to let his upper body go limp as well, "You, *pant* haven't even told us why you're so excited!"

The girl shrugs, "What? Can't a girl just try to have a good time hanging out with her best friends in the world?" eh then turns and motions for them to follow, "Now come on, we're burnin' daylight!"

"Girl, I know you well enough, even better than the real Linka, to know that you're trying to hide something." Claudia shakes her head, before staring at the girl, "So what's botherin' ya Link?"

"Nothing's borthin' me Clauds." Linka waves her off, "I'm just excited about enjoying a completely normal-"

"Normal is overrated Linka." Ron Andy shoves his hands in his hoodie and looks at the girl with a soft smile, "But she does have a point, what's going on with ya? You're usually more… talkative about what's going on with your life."

Cristopher then cuts in, "Plus, you really haven't told us what happened when you reset the world and stuff! How'd it feel to have infinite, world-changing power in the palm of your hands?!"

Linka can't help but stare at Cristopher for a moment, "It wasn't like what you think it's like really." Though, she simply shakes her head and holds her hands in front of her, I'm all right guys! I'm all right." She gives an awkward chuckle and motions away from herself, "It's not like I'm still very conflicted about what's happened in the past few days and I just wanna stay calm!"

Ron Andy chuckles, "Heh, well if that's the case, I guess we should just ask Loni!" He glances at the other two, "What do you guys think? Ask the one brother that'll spill the beans on everything?!"

Linka's stops in her tracks, "Dangit. I really gotta teach Loni how to keep secrets better!" Before she stares at her three friends, "You wouldn't."

Claudia shakes her head, "If you're not gonna tell us what's wrong then we'll have no choice."

Cristopher comes up on her opposite side, "Now come on, it'll only help if you tell us what's goin' on. You haven't been too open since the reset… heck!" He flares his arms up, "This is the first time you're hangin' out with us!"

"I dunno…" Linka's voice trails off. "They wouldn't understand… would they? I mean, none of them had the ability to control space-time itself…"

Yet, Ron Andy simply walks up to her and places a hand on the young woman's shoulder, "Come on Linka, I'm your boyfriend and these are our best friends. You can tell us anything." The young man looks the young woman in the eyes, "Please Linka. For me."

"I could never deny those eyes…" Linka takes a deep breath and sighs. "All right, I'll spill." She looks at her friends with hope-filled eyes, "I'm just confused and conflicted, ya know." She then turns around, "Come on, I'll tell ya on the way."

"All right Linka." Claudia then steps forward, with Ron Andy and Cristopher following soon after.

"Should I even bother telling them everything?" Linka holds her arms limply at her sides, before looking up, allowing the soft summer heat to engulf her body.

For a moment, the four friends simply walk along. It is as if the events of the past few months hold no weight upon them, while at the same time, everything can't help but feel… different.

"So what do you mean Linka?" Ron Andy speaks with a soft, caring voice, "I'm sure there's nothing you could've done to get you… you know, super confused and stuff."

The girl can't help but respond, "I'm Lincoln from dimension C-137." Her voice fills with an uncertain fear, "And I've decided to live here rather than go home."

Claudia shrugs, "We know that, I mean, actually bearable and willing to spend time with us?!" She motions at the white-haired girl with both hands, "The real Linka wouldn't even bother to talk to us! Let along invite us out for a day at Gos' Games and Dance Club!"

Cristopher smiles and motions just as Claudia had done, "Yeah! We don't need you telling us what we already know!"

Link remains silent; mentally kicking herself for thinking her friends wouldn't have already realized what had happened when she didn't start acting like a raving arse towards them. "Right… I'm not thinking…"

Ron Andy glances at the girl and shakes his head, before stepping in front of his partner and motioning for her to stop, "Linka, would it help if we just stopped to talk about it for a sec?" He places a comforting hand on her shoulder, "I mean, you do live in a Loud House with ten Loud Brothers."

"Well… I haven't really talked about it much… I mean…" She looks up at the boy, "But will they understand? I mean I've been dating him for months now… and he's shown that he's the best boyfriend a girl could have…" She then glances at her other two friends, "And they've stuck with me even though they knew I wasn't the real Linka…"

He Speaks with a soft, reassuring voice, "I know it'll be hard to talk about, but I'm sure we'll understand. Now come on, what's goin' on with ya?"

And so, with a soft sigh, Linka looks around for a quick moment, allowing her to spot a medium-sized oak tree. Its leaves providing a small amount of shade for any who would choose to rest underneath "How about I tell ya over there?"

"Sure." Ron Andy smiles, followed by Claudia and Cristopher nodding in agreement. And with that, the trio takes their seats within the tree's shade.

With her three friends watching her every move, the young, white-haired girl takes a deep breath, "Well… I guess I'll just dive straight into it huh?"

Ron Andy nods, "Yeah, tell us everything."

"How about, what happened after you chose to live here!" Cristopher cuts in, "I'm sure that's gonna be the best part!"

Claudia nudges the boy, "Heh, yeah, I think that'd work too."

"All right then." Linka takes a deep breath, "Well… After I reset the world…"

"Ok… it's been a day since you talked to Ethioth and reset everything. The Shadowman is now living with his sister and Linka's living with the family she deserves." The young, white-haired woman, takes a deep breath, "You can do this. You can do this… why does this hurt so much?"

Yet, rather than continue to ponder the question, she simply takes one more deep breath and pushes her way into the room.

"Levi!" Loki shouts, "How are your calculations goin'? From the looks of it, the computer's managed to find the exact location of dimension C-137." The young man turns towards the scientist, "But I'm not sure if this is real thing!"

"My calculations are complete!" Levi responds, causing the boys to cheer in excitement.

"All right Levi, what should the display numbers be?" Loki's voice trembles as if both excitement and fear are filling his body.

Carefully, Levi reads the results, "The numbers there should be… One Zero Seven."

Loki quickly scans the results and smiles, "All right, this is it!"

"Hey guys." Linka greets, prompting the boys to turn to her in surprise.

"Hey Linka!" Luke walks up to the young woman, "How are you doin'?"

"I'm all right Luke." She looks passed the musician and at her scientist brother, "Is everything ready, Levi?"

The four-year-old nods, "Yeah, it's completely set up." He turns towards the young woman, "All you need to do is hit this red button and the portal will stabilize, allowing you to step through for a few moments.

Linka takes a deep breath, "All right then guys, I'll take it from here."

"You want us to stay?" Luke takes a knee in front of the girl, "You are… well… you know."

For a moment, the white-haired girl thinks about the idea the idea, "They'd definitely help out… but…" She glances at her brothers, each other them looking on with an excited anticipation, "I don't want them to think that they're forcing me to stay with them…" And so she sighs and shakes her head, "No, this is something I gotta do alone." She looks the young man in the eyes, "Please, let me be alone."

"What?!" Lexx steps forward, "But we barely know them!"

Leif comes to his side, "Yeah! What if they go crazy like… the real you did!"

"I have to agree." Lars suddenly appears at Linka's side, "After seeing how they acted when they first got you back, I think it'd be a good idea if we went with you." He holds up his writing journal, "I've seen scenarios like-"

"Enough!" Loki commands, "If Linka believes that this is something she has to do alone, then let her do it alone! Boys, out, now!" Immediately, the Loud Boys rush out of the room, desperate as to not incur the wrath of their eldest brother.

"This is all you." Loki looks at the girl with a knowing gaze, "Good luck Linka."

"Thanks Loki…" The girl's voice trails off.

Loki nods with that, before walking out of the room, leaving Linka alone to face the portal home.

"Well… here I go." She takes a deep breath and stretches out her arm to meet the gate. Soft late emanates from the portal for a moment, before she quickly passes through, allowing her to appear in a room similar to the one she was just in… only with a certain ten girls waiting for her.

"It worked…" Lisa whispers, as her gaze falls upon their inter-dimensional visitor.

An uncharacteristic silence quickly overtakes the room, with no one sure just how to react.

And so, it is their visitor that has to break the ice with, "Hey guys…" she awkwardly waves her hand. "What'd I miss?"

Then, before anyone else can react, the ten girls shout, "Lincoln!" before jumping at the girl, with a random, garbled mess of greetings following.

"I can't believe you're back!" Lisa shouts, breaking her typical demaeanor.

"I missed ya so much bro!" Lana goes, while her twin adds, "Yeah! Lana's been trying to get me to help feed her pets for the past two days!"

"Mr. Coconuts has been saving up white hair jokes for you!" Luan goes, before she talks through her puppet, "They're a-hair-zing!"

"This is literally the best moment ever!" Lori shouts.

Lynn joins in by punching the young girl's arm, "Just cause you're a girl right now bro, doesn't mean I can't still punch ya!"

"Yo, chill out guys, just cause…" Luna starts, only to cut herself off with, "Ahh to 'ell with it!" She joins in, "Welcome home!"

"Like, I made the cutest thing for you to wear!" Leni then tries to pull out her newest creation… only to realize that a massive mess of sisters isn't the best place to do so.

"Ok girls, ok! I missed you too!" The young girl shouts, as she desperately tries to break free of the girls keeping her down. "Help! I can't breathe!"

"Haha! Ok, ok! Give her some space girls!" Lori voice fills with a joyful command, before she easily pushes her sisters aside.

"Heh, it's only been a day and you're super jumpy huh?" Linka dusts herself off, "What's goin' on?"

"Well, you haven been gone for six months, so everyone's just excited to see you finally come home." Lori explains with a soft smile, "And since everything's doin' just fine over here, we really wanna know, how are you doin'?"

"Ooh, I'm fine. The boys are treatin' me real well" She awkwardly rubs the back of her head, "Even though they now know I'm not their real sister." She can't help but chuckle at the idea, "Heh, I guess I'm just one of the boys to them now."

"That's great Lincoln!" Leni cuts in, "Like, maybe I'll be able to make you and those boys matching outfits!" Her face goes red, "Maybe I'll even be able to make some clothes for that hunk I made a dress with!"

"Haha." Linka laughs, "Don't worry Leni, I'm sure Loni wouldn't mind making another dress with you sometime soon."

"I sure hope so!" She then pulls out a small, red dress with several colored orbs decorating its belt, as well as golden trim around its edges and a red cape. "Plus, would you try this on later? I call this the Double Iris Dress!"

"Heh, sure Leni." She turns to the rest of the girls, "So what have the rest of you been up to? I've been gone for a while after all."

"I've started to get into welding!" Lana immediately shoves her hands in her overall pocket and pulls out a completed section of piping I think it ooks good if I do say so myself!"

"Hmm, let me see." Lincoln steps over and takes the device in his hands, "Hmm, it looks great so far Lana! You even remembered that the joints needed to be sealed too!"

"Well, you taught me yourself bro!" The young plumber takes the device back, before walking away, allowing her twin sister to step forward.

"I, on the other hand, have decided to enlist your help in pageants more often." She motions towards herself, "I found out that there are several brother-sister pageants coming up soon, and since you mentioned participating and almost winning your first pageant, I'm sure you'd be a great partner!"

Linka places a hand on the young girl's shoulder, "Should I? No… I'll tell them after… let them enjoy this moment…." Then, looking into the pageant queen's eyes, she responds, "I'd love to do that Lola, let's beat everyone together!"

"Eeeee!" Lola squeals, before throwing her arms around the girl, "Thanks Lincoln! I just know we're gonna win!"

"First, he's going to help me with my poetry." Lucy suddenly appears next to the duo, causing Lola to jump back in surprise, "Gahh!" Though Linka doesn't flinch at the sight. "I heard being trapped in a body you don't belong in makes for good emotional tension.

Linka stands up and runs her hand through Lucy's long, black hair, "Yeah, it does Lucy…" She smiles, "I'd love to tell you about my time like this."

"First he'd have to survive the comedy routine I've set up for him!" Luan cuts in, with Mr. Coconuts resting on her hand. Quickly, she starts speaking through the puppet, "You should know by now, that Mrs. Coconuts and I are in no way related! So what if we got divorced and set my pants on fire!"

The white-haired girl stares at the puppet for a moment, prompting him to reply, "What? I'm not a liar!"

"Haha!" Luan throws her head back in amusement, "Thanks for that Lincoln." She rubs the girl's hair with that, "And there'll be plenty more comin' after that!"

"Heh, yeah, plenty." Linka pushes into the girl's hand, allowing her heat to overtake her head for a short moment… only for Lisa to walk in and cut the moment off, "I believe you are the perfect test subject for a new study I am planning a beginning."

Linka moves away from Luan and turns to the four-year-old, "What do you mean?"

"I mean what I said." Lisa pulls out a small notebook and begins flipping through the pages, "You are the first being in our dimension to not only travel between realities, but to also replace the version of yourself that exists there… as well as experience life as both a true male and a true female." She looks up at the young woman, "You experiences will serve to benefit mankind!"

"Look, Lisa, while I'd like to-"Linka starts, only for Lynn to cut in with, "Whatever! I saw the boy version of me was great on his feet, and while I was talkin' to him, he told me that he taught you all his tricks!" She smiles and grabs the girl's shoulders, "I need you to teach me everything you know!"

"Ok, ok!" Linka holds her arms up defensively, "I'll teach you when I can!" Though she can't help but think, "Yeah… but will the time ever come is the question…"

"Hey! You're forgettin' me!" Luna shouts, before raising her guitar, "Lincoln, you gotta listen to the rad song I worked on while you were gone!"

"Heh, all right Luna!" He points at the young musician, "Rock it!"

Then, with soft, yet quick strums, she begins to sing, "Come and fly away with me! Come and fly away with me. Come and fly away with me! Co-co-come and fly away with me." Her rhythm speeds up, while her voice fills with hope, "Don't you be afraid, everything will change, you and I." She looks up at the white-haired girl. "Jumping off the edge, they say dreamers never die. So, come and fly, come and fly, come and fly away with me!" Her beat slows down once more, "We're rising, we're falling, we'll make it through. We're climbing, we're soaring, something's gonna bring a change. Journeys we are meant to take. Something at the edge of space. Calling us to fly away ." And with that, she strums one last time.

"Wow." Linka smiles, "That was amazing Luna!"

Luna rubs the back of her head, "Well, I wanted to make something nice for you to hear before you came home."

"Heh well you did a great job with that." Linka can't help but chuckle.

"Speaking of coming home." Lori walks over to the young girl, "When're you comin' back?" She holds her hands up at her sides, "Everyone's wonderin' ya know."

"Well I guess there's no hiding it now huh?" Linka sighs in defeat, "Girls… I need you all to stay calm for a bit… please."

Lori tilts her head, "Why's that Linc? You're coming home right?"

Lily crawls over and tugs at the girl's leg, "Poo-poo!"

"Please don't make this harder than it needs to be Lily…" Linka takes another deep breath, "Guys… I've decided to stay with the boys as their sister."

Immediately, the room's tense order breaks down, causing a flurry of confusion to overtake them all.

"What?! Why?!" The twins shout in unison, given their tone, they sound like they're at the verdge of tears.

Lucy and Lisa remain silent, though it's obvious that they're trying to remain calm, while Luan and Leni remaining silent, most likely due to shock.

As for Lynn, Luna and Lori simply stare at the white-haired girl, each sporting an expression of anger.

"This isn't going as well as I thought…" Linka puts on a sheepish smile, "You guys all right?"

"No!" Lynn shouts before grabbing the girl's shirt, "We had to deal with an annoying arse of girl as our brother for six months! And now you're tellin' us that you're not comin' home! What gives?!"

"We literally cut a portal in space-time just to bring you back!" Lori adds, flaring her arms as she does so, before she relaxes them and raises her fists, "I am gonna turn you into a human pretzel!"

"Yeah! We worked so hard trying to help ya out that Lori actually used 'literally' properly!" Luna then raises her base, as if prepared to use it like an actual axe, "Love, why aren't you coming home?!"

Linka grabs her arm awkwardly, "Because girls… you don't really need me."

"What?!" Lynn leans closer to the girl, "Ever since you left, I've been having a terrible time trying to practice for my games!"

"Yeah! Like, no one's around to help me put on my make-up!" Leni cuts in. "I always end up getting it on the wrong side!"

"And no one's around to laugh at my jokes!" Luan speaks through Mr. Coconuts.

"And I haven't been able to properly fix anything without you!" Lana rushes closer to the girl, while Lola steps next to her, "And Lindsey Sweetwater has been getting closer and closer to me without you around!"

This is immediately followed by yet another cloud of confusion.

Linka motions for the girls to calm down however, "Girls, stop it!" Her voice echoes in the small room, causing her sisters to quiet down for a short moment.

"Let me explain." She takes a deep breath. "Please."

"Please do." Lola crosses her arms, "Because from the sound of it, you're leaving us for a better family!" The girls follow her lead and cross their arms as well.

"Just stay calm Linka, everything's gonna be all right." The young woman looks at the annoyed expressions of her siblings for a moment, before taking a deep breath, "Girls, I'm staying with these boys because they need me."

"We need you too!" Lisa desperately breaks her stoic demeanor, "Ever since you disappeared, I have been unable to limit the destruction my experiments cause! I almost destroyed the house several times!"

"You don't need me for that Lisa." Linka turns to the young girl and takes a knee, "You just gotta remember that you don't live alone."

"Please don't leave Lincoln!" Lola falls on her knees and holds her arms up to her. "We need you!"

"Yeah!" Lana adds, "Who gonna help me feed my pets?!"

"Girls, I know this is hard…." The young girl starts to tear up, "But this is for the best, it really is."

"How?!" Luan break in, "I know we haven't always treated you as well as we should've, but that doesn't mean you can just up and go whatever you want!" She then speaks through her puppet, "Now that's not cool!"

Lucy can't help but begin to break through her stoic demeanor, "Didn't you just go through an entire adventure trying to call someone out for abandoning their family because it was convenient for them?"

Linka wipes the tears forming under her eyes, "Girls, stop it, please." She glances at her sisters for a moment, "This isn't easy for me either."

"Then why are you going?!" Lori shouts, "You're our brother! We need you!"

With a soft, knowing smiles, she looks up at the elder girl and shakes her head, "You guys don't need me. If anything, I needed you." She looks passed the girl and takes a moment to glance at her friends standing in the doorway, with all three remaining silent, "The fact that you were able to get to me proves it." She then turns and picks the baby off the floor, "You guys always made me feel special. And I was a fool for thinking that I wasn't." She then turns and hands Lily to Luan, "But now's time for me to help the people that need me the most."

With determination and hope filling her voice, she looks into her sister's eyes, "I needed you girls in the same way the boys need their sister. You guys helped me to grow, learn and get passed everything. And they need me to help them get passed what they've been through.

"But Lincoln!" Luna tries to start, yet, Lincoln motions for her to stop.

"Please girls, don't make this harder than it needs to be." Soft tears begin to stream down her cheeks, "Please…"

And so, wordlessly, the girls come together and hung the young girl once more.

"Take care of yourself Lincoln." Lori whispers, followed by similar sentiments from the other girls.

"And you take care of yourselves too girls." Linka whispers, "And don't worry, I've sent someone to live with you. He'll benefit from living with you girls. Please, treat him well."

"We promise, we will." Leni takes a deep breathe and gives a knowing smile, "Like, what does he look like?"

Linka knowingly smiles, "You'll know when you see him. I promise I'll visit." And with that, the hug breaks, allowing the girl to turn and step back through the portal that had brought her there. And with that, she disappears from view.

"So what'll we do now, Lori?" Luna walks over to the eldest sister.

Lori takes a deep breath, "Let's go meet the boy he was talking about."

"G'ahh!" A voice shouts, filled by the bang of someone falling.

"And I guess that's our cue." Luna takes a deep breath and readjusts her guitar, "Come on girls."

Lori nods, and with that, the girls walk out of the room.

A Few Minutes Later…

"And it is done." Linka sighs as she turns and walks out of the room. For a moment, she expects to be overrun by ten familiar boys all prepared to give her some form of sympathy or another, though thankfully that isn't the case.

And so, she walks out of the room and walks down the stairs over to the living room, "Mind if I join ya guys?"

The boys look at each other for a moment, and shrug, before Loni passes her the remote with, "You pick."

The white-haired girl rubs her chin, well… anyone wanna watch a Hero Movie Marathon?"

Loki shrugs, "Sure, I'm fine with it…bro?

"Sis. I'm your sister now." Linka corrects, "Now scooch, the sweet spot's callin' my name." And some of the boys comply.

"So… what's goin' on with your family now?" Leif nervously asks, "Are ya gonna be leavin' soon?"

Linka shakes her head, "Nope, you guys are my family too and I promised I wouldn't abandon you."

Luke tilts his head, "But don't they need you?"

Linka shrugs, "Yeah, but you guys need me more. I think you'd go mad if you didn't have a sister to balance everything out and keep you in check."

The young men immediately shout in unison, "Hey!"

Linka shrugs, "What can I say?"

Lynn raises an eyebrow in curiosity, "So you're just leaving them hanging."

Linka shakes her head, "No, some guy needed them more than me." Before she thinks of how she grabbed a bruised Lincoln from dimension 11B, healed his injures

and sent him to C-137. "And I'm sure he's doin' way better than he was back where he came from."

"Ugh." A young, white-haired boy groans, "Morning already?" He glances out the window, "I wonder what those guys have in store for me today…"

Tiredly, he gets out of his bed, "Wait? Where are they? They're usually around when I wake up…" His eyes go wide in shock. "No…" He shakes his head and slowly makes his way over to the door. "Did they leave me behind again?" Quietly, he opens up the door and steps into the quiet hallway.

"This is suspicious… it's not April First…" For a moment, he slowly steps through the Loud House hallway, expecting some assault of some kind to come upon him, and yet… none comes, "This is weird…" He looks around once more, before continuing to walk… only to trip upon a small crease in the rug, causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Lincoln!" Lori shouts, as she runs over and takes the young boy in her arms, "Are you ok?!"

"What the?!" The boy shouts, "Who are you people?!"

"Oh, poor Lincy!" Leni adds, "Like, do you want Lily to kiss it to make it better?" She holds the baby up to the boy.

"We'll get the gauze!" Lola and Lana declare, before turning and running off, no doubt to get the supplies.

"What the…." The boy looks on in confusion, "What's going on?! Who are you people?!"

Lori smiles, and carries the child as if he were a baby, "We're your sisters silly, and we're trying to take care of our only brother."

"I… I have sisters?!" Lincoln stammers, eliciting a nod from Luna.

"Yeah bro!" She strums, "It's not like you've got brothers!"

For a moment, the boy remains silent, unsure of just how to take the news. And yet, without another word he begins to tear up, "Thank… thank you!" And with that, his heart races, "I don't have brothers… I'm not getting mocked for being in pain?! Is this… is this what love feels like?!"

"So how are you feelin' Lincoln?" Lucy suddenly appears by their side, "I'm sure it would make a great subject for my latest poem."

The boy smiles, tears welling up in his eyes, "Thanks you guys, I feel better already." And with that he leans in.

"May I ask what's troubling you elder brother?" Lisa walks over to them.

"I just had the weirdest dream… I had ten brothers and they all didn't really care about me…" He looks at his new sisters, "Thanks for being here… for me."

"Anytime bro, anytime." Luna throws her arms around the young boy, with the rest of the sisters following suit, bringing them all into one claustrophobic hug.

Linka smiles at the thought, though her new family has other ideas.

"So, what do you wanna watch?" Lexx speaks up.

"Let's find the marathon shall we?" Linka declares, before holding out the remote and clicking through.

The first TV show involved four people trying to return home to their earth prime, "Dangit!" Linka quips, "I just lived that!"

"Heh, yeah." Lynn chuckles, "Sliders huh? Sounds strange."

Linka changes the channel, "A man traveling the multiverse in a police box? To be honest, I've heard stranger."

"Wibbly Wobbly Timey Whimey!" Lars quips. "Sounds like a fun show with a dark backstory."

Linka changes the channel again, allowing a man in a bright red suit with a lightning bolt on it to appear on screen. "Huh, The Flash."

Luke can't help but pull out his guitar and sing, "Runnin' around at the speed of sound-"

"No!" Loki shouts, "Don't remind us of that song! And stop singing it before I make you sit in the corner!"

"Heh all right." Linka chuckles, before changing the channel, allowing a boy with bright red hair to appear, with the line "Penn Zero, Part-Time Hero" written under him.

"Nope." Linka goes, "Nope, nope, nope." She changes the channel again.

"Burrp, Morty!" A man with blue hair stumbles on screen, "I need your help getting to another dimension!"

Linka grits her teeth, "Ok, what's going on?! Why have Rick and Morty come along all of a sudden?!"

Levi can't help but quip, "The effect of this 'situationally appropriate' series of broadcasts is mitigated by the fact that we are comfortable with the turn of events rather than emotional."

"It's probably Ethioth being an arse again…" Linka shakes her head, "Hey invisible force! Quit it or give us something decent to watch at least! We've seen most of this stuff already!"

A moment of silence passes, before Linka changes the channel once more allowing a certain show to pop on screen, this one involves a young woman with blonde hair rushing along with her arm raised, "For Mewni!"

"Star Vs. huh?" Loki quips, before turning to his sister, "I'm ok with this, what do you guys think?"

The boys talk amongst themselves for a moment, before turning to their brother and nodding.

"Heh, all right then." He turns to Lynn, "Make some popcorn for us."

Lynn nods, jumps to his feet and rushes into to kitchen to make the bowl.

And with that, Linka and her brothers watch the season premiere.

"And that's what happened." Linka sighs, "So what do you guys think?"

For a moment, the three friends remain silent, just unsure of how to respond to Linka's words.

She sighs again, "Yeah… I guess I messed up huh?"

Ron Andy breaks the silence, "Not really. What are you stressin' out about Linka?"

"I just felt that I abandoned the people I was supposed to spend the most time with is all…" She looks at her three friends, "What do you guys think?"

Claudia immediately answers, "I think you did the right thing."

"Really?!" The girl perks up.

The dark-skinned girl nods, "Yeah. Those boys need you more than you think." She awkwardly rubs the back of her head, "Before you came around, Loki was more quiet and controlling than you think. If you're worried that you're being selfish, just think about it like this." He gives her a soft smile, "You'd be selfish if you let the boys deal with their own problems without you, especially since I doubt they'd get far without their sister."

"Plus, I'm sure you did something crazy to the real Linka." Ron Andy adds, a soft smile on his face.

Linka smiles, "Yeah, let me tell you about it."

"Guys! I fixed the dimensional goggles!" Levi rushes down the stairs, the device waiting in his arms.

Linka immediately jumps to her feet and grabs the device from her brother. "Awesome!" Immediately, she boots it up, and after the usual commands goes, "All right, here we go!"

Destination required.

"Dimension 11B." Linka responds, excitement filling ehr voice, "Let's see how Linka's enjoying her new home."

Input accepted. And with that, the scene shifts, allowing Linka to see the result of her work, and smile. The Lincoln is bruised, with Leif poking him, and a regretful expression on the boy's face.

"Why the heck am I here?" The Lincoln quips.

"Because mom and dad decided to have as many kids as they could so they could have a daughter!" Leif answers, no doubt joy filling his voice.

Suddenly, a ball flies through the open doorway, and before Lincoln can react, ricochets off the wall and nails him in the head.

*Ugh* He groans.

Leif points at the injured boy and laughs, "Haha! You gotta man up Lincoln!"

Lincoln then looks up, only to find the rest of the boys pointing and laughing at him as well, "This was the worst choice I ever made…"

"So you sent her to dimension 11B?" Cristopher tilts his head in curiosity. "Isn't that cruel?"

Linka nods, "Yeah, I hated it there, and I'm sure she's gonna hate it there too." She chuckles, "It's not that cruel. Besides, it beats roasting to death in the desert."

"Heh true." Ron Andy chuckles, before standing up, "Anyways, let's get home." He takes Linka's hand, "You feelin' better Link?"

The girl smiles, "Yeah, thanks for your help guys."

Claudia waves her off, "We didn't do anything, except get you to open up of course."

"Yeah, but it helped." The girl stands up, "Now come on, we're still burnin' daylight!" And with that, the friends follow and all rush towards the arcade and dance club.

Later…

With the day all but finished, Linka lays in her bed, "So… New permanent home." Linka can't help but chuckle, "To think… six months ago, I was determined to leave this place as soon as possible. Now I doubt I'll ever leave."

She pulls out her phone and begins to scroll through, allowing it to stop on an image of the girls, "Still… did I really make the right choice? Why do I feel so… empty?" Yet, instead of trying to answer that question, she simply sighs, and nods off for the night.

Also, I have realized that updating 3 stories of roughly the same length is rather difficult. I apologize for not updating UB this week, its update will be pushed back till next Saturday.
