Lincoln Loud was mostly your average 13-year-old boy. He wore an orange hoodie, blue pants, sneakers, and a black shirt. And with puberty hitting him like a truck, he found himself with a much more mature voice. That wasn't the only thing that was different from his younger self. If you were to squint your eyes you could manage to see his toned muscles which he got from all the training he did with Lynn.
And today was a special day for him since it would be his first day back in school since the summer break started. While most kids wouldn't be exited, Lincoln Loud was not like the others. He wanted to go back to school ever since he started going thru with the changes over the whole summer.
He couldn't wait until he saw the reactions of his friends. But a part of him worried that his friends would be different after the summer break.
His day started with him rising from his bed and releasing a loud yawn. He got dressed and quickly headed to the bathroom where he brushed his teeth and fixed his hair into something cooler than the cowlick he had when he was 11. Looking back Lincoln was actually surprised that he managed to get Ronnie Anne's attention back in the day with his stupid clothes. Probably why she started bullying him from the start.
And no, he and she weren't a couple like many assumed back in the day. They were best friends and remained that way even when she moved to another city. He remembered both of the families' faces when Ronnie told everyone that she was dating her best friends Sid. It was then when they all finally realized that they both weren't a thing and thank god.
Speaking of girlfriends, he didn't have one. It didn't bother him too much, maybe when he would find people bragging about their relationships but else, he didn't really care. And come on, who would want to date him. He was a comic book geek with a passion for drawing.
The boy continued down the stairs and into the kitchen where he made a bowl of cereal. After consuming the cereal, he began walking to his best friend's house, where he would meet up and walk to school. Ever since Lori and Leni moved out the van was used less and less due to Luna struggling with the driver's test. So as a result, he had to walk to school, but luckily he had his trusty companion to walk with.
"Hey, Bud. Ready for our first day back?" Said an excited Clyde. His appearance hasn't changed that much these past few years. The only notable difference being his glasses which were replaced by contacts. And his hair which he grew out a bit more into a larger afro.
"Sure am, how do you think everyone would be?" Lincoln asked. It had been one of his worries about coming back to school. It was the changes that everyone went thru. This summer was probably the hardest for his entire class with puberty kicking in. And from personal experience, he knew that puberty often led to people changing personalities.
"I don't know. Let's just hope that we won't be the laughingstock of the school when out friends stop hanging with us an-" But before Clyde could continue his panicked speech, a paper bag was thrown at his face by Lincoln.
"Breathe Clyde. Don't worry about how everyone has changed, just calm down and try to act cool." Lincoln stated to his best friend. Clyde began to breathe in and out in the paper bag and calmed down after a couple of breaths.
"Thanks bud." And with that, they both made their way towards the school where their day would officially start. After a lengthy walk and talk about the new Ace savvy convention happening next week both of them arrived at their school. Clyde smelt the air and felt the back to school smell, or maybe it was his allergies messing with his nose.
"Linc you smell that?" Clyde the proceeded to take a huge breath but doesn't notice the fly that he breathed in. Clyde begins to couch heavily before being smacked on the back by Lincoln which allowed Clyde to spit the poor fly out.
"Don't worry I got your back," Lincoln said as Clyde gasped for breaths.
The two enter the school and walk in the crowded halls which reeked from sweat. Both of them kept their noses pinched until they reached their lockers. After throwing their backpacks in they both realize something.
"Clyde where are we supposed to go? The teachers said that we should meet somewhere but I can't remember where." Said a slightly panicked Lincoln.
"Same here. What if we miss out on important information and we fail school be-" But Clyde stopped again when a familiar voice called them out.
"Clyde don't worry I know where we are supposed to go." The two boys turn around and saw their best friend Stella. Her appearance both stunned Clyde and Lincoln. Her wardrobe seemed to change since she was wearing a white shirt with a red star in the middle, she also wore a light blue short skirt and along with some white and blue sneakers. Her hair was practically the same but a bit longer and more well-groomed.
"Hey, Stella!" Greeted Lincoln who recovered from the stun along with Clyde. Stella turned to Lincoln and froze when she saw him, an audible gulp could be heard coming from her and she blushed almost instantly. She couldn't help but to examine his appearance, his white hair looked much more cooler than it did before, his jawline was much more visible making Lincoln look much more mature and handsome.
Wait, what was she thinking? Lincoln was her best friend and they already had the debacle which ended with her saying that she just wanted to stay as friends. A part of her mind wanted it all that was standing in front of her but another part… actually, it agreed with the other part. But her thought was stopped when she felt herself being shaken.
"Where to Stellaaa!?" Shouted a panicked Clyde while Lincoln was trying to pull him off, Stella. Lincoln then managed to pull Clyde of her and got him to calm down.
"Sorry about that Stella. You know how Clyde gets on the first day back." Lincoln explained.
"D-don't worry Linc." At that moment Stella realized that she was still blushing and that Lincoln was looking at her wondering what that was about.
"This way!" She said as she grabbed Lincoln's hand and dragged him through the crowd. Meanwhile, Clyde saw them both leave and panicked at the thought of being left alone, so he ran after them. After Lincoln was dragged through the thick crowds, he felt Stella letting go off his hand. But because she suddenly did it and Lincoln had the reaction time of a turtle, he ended up walking and into a wall.
When Lincoln came back to his senses, he saw that he stood at the entrance of the auditorium. But another thing he saw was Stella's face examining him for any damages from walking into that hard-concrete wall. He appreciated her kind gesture of looking out for him.
But Stella knew that there was no damage, instead, she only wanted to see his face which could make her blush anytime… oh, wait she was blushing. With that realization, Stella felt embarrassed and walked to the bathroom to calm down and let her blush die down.
While she left Clyde managed to catch up to them and began interacting with Lincoln. There was something on the back of his mind that bugged him ever since he met Stella today.
"Clyde do you know what's up with Stella today? She doesn't seem herself." Lincoln explained. Clyde gave it some thought but couldn't find an explanation for Stella's weird behavior today. Before any of them could reach an answer, a smell filled both of their nostrils. The sweet smell of cookies made both of the boy's stomach growl and from out of nowhere a girl approached them scaring Clyde.
"HEY GUYYS, Want some cookiessss?" Said an energetic long-haired brunet. She was a bit shorter than Lincoln's current height and wore a dark blue hoodie that was unzipped revealing a blue shirt, she also wore a blue skirt to match her shirt.
Her name was Cookie and ironically enough she was waving a cookie right in front of the two boy's faces but stopped when she saw Lincoln. Lincoln proceeded to wave his hand in front of her but to no avail as the girl was watching the white-haired boy with glistering eyes. Then a large blush spread itself across her face and she panicked.
"Ehhh, HERE TAKE COOKIES!" She shouted before handing Lincoln a dozen of cookies. Lincoln stood there confused as cookies were handed to him and he thanked her.
"Can I have some?" Asked Clyde who put his hand out asking for a cookie. But Cookie slaps his hand away and gives him a sour look.
"NO, ONLY COOKIES FOR PEOPLE WHO DESERVE COOKIES." Said Cookie while handing Lincoln more batches. Meanwhile, Lincoln was confused as to where the cookies were coming from since the girl just kept handing him more and more.
After having a handful of cookies Lincoln finally managed to take a bit out of one of them and was shocked at the great taste. Meanwhile, Cookie waited for Lincoln's response.
"Cookie these are amazing!" He said with starry eyes before taking a bite of another. When she heard this Cookie turned as red as a tomato and turned away as to not be seen. She couldn't help but to smile at the boy who tasted her cookies.
While Cookie continued to feed Lincoln like a Grandma, Stella had come back from the bathroom and saw Cookie playfully putting a cookie into his mouth. A certain feeling began growing inside of her which she recognized as jealousy. Stella growled to herself before going towards the trio to break up the cookie feeding.
"Ohh hey Cookie, how's it going?" Stella asked as she got in the middle of Lincoln and Cookie. Stella saw how Cookie gave her a mean stare, seeing this as a competition Stella turned around and faced Lincoln before beginning to wipe cookie crumbs off his face with her hand. She could practically hear Cookie fume up with annoyance before Stella felt a tap on her shoulder.
Turning around she saw Cookie handing her a cookie. She got confused at first but took a bite of it thinking that it was a peace offering. But she was proven wrong when Stella felt dizzy and started stumbling around feeling weird in her entire body, the stumbling made Stella move away from Cookie and Lincoln. Cookie then casually approached Lincoln.
"WANNA HEAR HOW I MADE THEM?" Cookie asked energetically with Lincoln nodding confusingly. Then Cookie started to tell Lincoln about how her grand-grand-grand-great uncle created cookies back in the day and how the recipe was passed down thru generations.
"In my family, we only give cookies to people we find special." Said Cookie hinting at something which Lincoln wasn't picking up on. But before cookie could clarify Clyde decided to speak up.
"Wait, haven't you given cookies to the entire sch-?" But before Clyde could finish a cookie was stuffed into his mouth shutting him up. Cookie then looked back to Lincoln and smiled innocently.
Before Lincoln could say anything more the doors to the auditorium bust open revealing one of the teachers who yawned when she saw the teachers. She was holding a coffee mug and as she began counting the students, she began drinking it more frequently until her pupils were dilated largely.
"Welcome back students, I know that none of us want to be here, so I'll be quick." Said the teacher before letting out another yawn. "Go grab a seat and keep quiet, make sure you listen carefully since none of us teachers have the energy to tell you again." And with that, the teacher took another sip of her coffee before allowing the students in.
Everyone began rushing in and both he, Cookie, and Clyde were overwhelmed. Lincoln felt like he was drowning in people but to his surprise, a hand reached out and pulled him out. That hand belonged to Stella who was dragging him into the auditorium. After a run for their life, they managed to find empty seats which they both sat down on. He suddenly felt a hair strand fall in front of his eyes blinding him.
"Here let me fix your hair." Said Stella before reaching over to Lincoln's hair. Even without gel, she thought that she did a great job, and in the end, his hair looked as good as ever. While Stella was fixing Lincoln's hair both Cookie and Clyde managed to come in and find where they were sitting. Cookie quickly took a seat beside Lincoln leaving Clyde to sit next to Stella far off from Lincoln.
"Thanks, Stella you did a great job." Said a glad Lincoln while looking at his own reflection through his phone. Stella let out a beaming smile at him while Cookie let out a death stare at Stella. Stella smiled smugly at her before she felt a cookie being thrown at her. The cookie let out crumbs that landed on Lincoln and before Lincoln could respond both of the girls got the same idea.
"Here let me help!" They both said in unison. Lincoln then became like a car at a carwash when the girls proceeded to brush off every small piece of crumb that was on Lincoln. And after 10 minutes of the two girls constantly competing at who could brush off more both of the conceded that they were the winner.
"Alright, students listen up!" Said the principle of the school. All of their gazes were thrown toward the man standing on the stage. "This information will only be conveyed once and no more!"
And the principle of the school began talking about something which Lincoln didn't care for since he accidentally started to fall asleep. Both of the girls noticed this and looked at him waiting for him to fall asleep and lean on one of them. But seeing Lincoln starting to lean towards Cookie, Stella nudged Lincoln towards her direction, but Cookie responded by doing the same thing on her side. It quickly turned into a tug of war where Lincoln was the rope in all of this.
And the constant movement of the two girls stopped Lincoln from falling asleep and both girls got disappointed. Stella was convinced that it was Cookie's fault that Lincoln didn't lean on her while Cookie thought vice versa.
After the principle was finished talking and left Lincoln was left confused because he didn't listen and wouldn't know where to go… again.
"Stella?" Lincoln said catching her attention.
"Where do we go from here?" Lincoln asked. A large blush crept up on her and Lincoln got confused.
"Well, where do you want to go?" Stella asked sweetly. This left Lincoln more confused which made Stella realize that he was talking about something else.
"w-well I-I " Stella stuttered while Cookie was holding in her laughter at Stella. Now blushing and being embarrassed at the same time Stella tried to save herself by asking Clyde.
"Clyde, do you know where should go?" Stella asked Clyde who was sitting beside her. While Stella was asking Clyde, Cookie got an idea.
"HEY LINCOLN! I KNOW WHERE TO GO." Cookie said catching Lincoln's attention. When he turned to her, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the crowd which was leaving the auditorium. Meanwhile, Stella saw this and gave Cookie a look of war which Cookie responded by waving smugly at her.
"Where are we going?" Asked Lincoln. Cookie turned to him and smiled brightly.
"I HAVE NO IDEA!" Cookie said leaving Lincoln confused again. Who knew that his first day of school would turn out this way? Certainly not him. Today was probably one of the weirdest days in his entire life. And if his day wasn't already weird enough, he heard another familiar voice. Both he and Cookie stopped and turned around to see Girl Jordan waving at them.
"Hey Cookie! haven't seen you all day. Where have you been?" Asked Jordan as she approached them both. She wore torn black pants along with a yellow shirt that matched her braided light brown hair amazingly.
When Cookie saw Jordan, she clasped her arm around Lincoln's almost as if she was defending him. Then Cookie released a smile and started to talk.
"Hey Jordan, yeah sorry I was busy with Lincoln." Jordan eyed Cookie weirdly before glancing at Lincoln and guess what? She froze. Cookie noticed this and began walking away dragging Lincoln along with her. She tried to hurry but was stopped when Jordan magically appeared in front of them.
"Hey, Lincoln! Have you started to work out or what?" Jordan asked with sparkling eyes as she began feeling his muscles on his arms. Jordan blushed at the closeness of both of them.
"Oh yeah, me and Lynn worked out during summer. Guess it's finally paying off." Lincoln said while looking at Jordan who was examining his muscle. It felt great, almost as a massage. Meanwhile, Cookie knew where this was going and remembered something.
"JORDAN MY BESTEST FRIEND. DON'T YOU HAVE A DODGEBALL PRACTICE SOMEWHERE FAR FROM US." Said a smiling Cookie both innocently and energetically. Cookie didn't want anyone intervening in between her and him.
'Wonder if should give her my sleep cookie' Cookie wondered. Cookie had in fact made a cookie for every single situation there was. And the sleep cookie was filled with sleeping pills which she wasn't sure was legal, but she didn't care. But she didn't want to use it on her best friend, maybe just as a last resort.
"Well, I was heading towards it but got distracted by you guys. But now that you mention it, I could really use a partner to train. Someone really really strong." Said Jordan with a seductive smirk meant for the white-haired boy.
"I mean if you don't mind," Lincoln answered with Cookie's face showing visible disappointment and rage. In response, Jordan smiled at him and grabbed hold of Lincoln dragging him away from a fully enraged Cookie.
Not even jealousy could explain what Cookie was feeling. But if she managed to get rid of Stella then she could do it with Jordan, even if she was her friend.
Lincoln was dragged by Jordan to dodgeball practice and he didn't mind it. Meanwhile, Cookie was angrily following behind them and would make sure that nothing that she wouldn't like could happen.
The trio made their way to a large open room and Jordan prepared by taking out some dodgeballs from god knows where. Lincoln let out an audible gulp as he knows how brutal the girl could be at dodgeball. Just last week she managed to break someone's ribcage by accident during a normal match.
Cookie also kept her eyes on Jordan in a competitive manner looking for the chance to grab Lincoln and run. And without warning, a dodgeball flew past Cookie and headed towards Lincoln who barely dodged it with his life. Jordan began throwing more and more balls at Lincoln while he dodged somehow by a miracle.
The dodging made Jordan appreciate the boy's athletic ability and which made her even more in love with him. Meanwhile, Cookie was gazing at Lincoln also as sweat ran down his forehead from all of the movements he was doing. Both girls were blushing rose-red while Lincoln was dodging to save his own life as more balls kept flying at him by Jordan.
Of course, he wasn't the most athletic kid out of them all and a ball managed to land a solid hit on him. He fell down and felt a sharp pain in his arm as he landed which alerted the two lovestruck girls. Cookie and Jordan both had the same idea but before Cookie could even move a dodgeball hit her right in the gut making her hunch over before falling on the ground gasping for air.
"Sorry Cookie!" Jordan apologized before running to Lincoln.
"Hey, how are you?" Jordan asked sweetly with a blush spreading on her face as she comes closer to the boy. Jordan reached her arm out which Lincoln grabbed and found himself being pulled up by her. Jordan then noticed how Lincoln held his hand in pain and got an idea.
She checked on Cookie who was still on the ground trying to recover and turned to Lincoln before picking him up bridal style much to his surprise.
"I'm taking you to the nurse Linc." Before Lincoln could even ask why he needed to be carried Jordan began running full speed out of the room leaving Cookie alone. But if Jordan had stayed, she could have heard Cookie beginning to laugh as she states.
"THEN IT'S WARRRR!" Cookie shouts before gasping for more air.
But Jordan nor Lincoln didn't hear it since she is carrying him away from Cookie in light speed. Jordan probably never ran as fast as she did now because what was supposed to take 5 minutes to arrive took only 2. Moments later they stood in front of the nurse's office and Jordan put the boy down.
"Thanks, Jordan. You really didn't need to do that." Explained a thankful Lincoln.
"Don't worry Linc, everything for you," Jordan responded with a wink. Lincoln didn't think much of it and entered the nurse's office while Jordan stayed behind and waited for him. 'How didn't we notice how good-looking he was?' Said an inner voice in her head.
"I know right! Guess that growing up did a total on him." Said a surprised Jordan to herself.
'We have to act now on him. We can't lose him to that energetic cookie psyco.' Said Jordan's other voice in her head.
"You right, I'm the one who should have him. Cookie would probably choke him out with more cookies." Jordan told herself.
It was Jordan's little secret that she had another voice in her head that acted on its own, and normally they disagreed on a lot of stuff but now they had the same goal. To get that Loud boy.
While Jordan was inner monologuing, another girl approached her to ask her something. Jordan turned to her and greeted her before the other girl could say anything.
"Hey, Stella! How's it going?"
"Great, do you know where Lincoln is by any chance, I really want to talk to him," Stella explained. But by the way, she was talking Jordan recognized instantly her real intents and wasn't going to let that happen.
"No, I haven't seen him. Probably out with Clyde somewhere." Jordan responded with the fakest smile Stella had ever seen. Stella's face soon turned to unamused one before she spoke out.
"So, you like him to?" Stella asked shocking Jordan who panicked.
"So, it is true. First Cookie and now you." Stella said to herself. Meanwhile, Jordan's inner voice returned 'If we kill her now, she won't pose a threat later on.' Jordan shook those thoughts away before smiling at Stella and deciding on something, Jordan decided to play aggressively to keep Jordan away from what's hers.
"Well, then I recommend you back off. You already rejected him once back in 5th grade." Jordan said aggressively to Stella whose face changed into a sour expression.
"What, are you afraid that he would choose me over you. Hell no, I'm not backing off." Said Stella igniting a competition between the two. Both with fiery eyes and determination to get what they want. But their duel was ended when Lincoln left the nurse's office with a small cast on his arm looking disappointed before seeing the two girls.
"Hey Lincoln, I'm really sorry for breaking the whole arm thing. I didn't mean to be so hard on you when I fully knew you couldn't handle it." Cried Jordan apologetically. Stella gave Jordan an 'I can't believe you' look while Lincoln came over to the crying girl to comfort her. He pulled her into a hug which made Stella even more jealous while Jordan let out a smile.
"It wasn't your fault. I should have said that I couldn't handle it. Don't worry about it." He calmed Jordan. Lincoln brushed her hair with his hand calming Jordan. She felt so blissful and could fall asleep in his arms if she wanted to. But the moment was ruined sadly for Jordan and happily for Stella when Lincoln felt his phone vibrate.
The hug ended and Lincoln pulled up his phone and read the message and quickly became panicked.
"Alright girls, gotta go. Dad was preparing an octopus, but it turned out to be alive and now dad wants us all to help him capture it since it escaped when it realized what dad tried to do." Lincoln quickly explained before running away leaving both girls in love and confused.
And with that three girls realized their love for a white-haired boy, of course, they weren't going to share him so that left only one option which Cookie had announced… WAR!
Meanwhile in a super-secret location outside time and space:
It was a room with a large couch where people sat on. The tv displayed everything Lincoln had gone through today.
"Wow, Lincoln is really blind." Said Rusty who was eating popcorn.
"Wait, but Lincy can see perfectly fine." Said a dumbfounded Leni.
"Does anyone even know where we are?" Asked Lisa while looking at a handheld device.
"We are in the room of characters that either won't appear in this story or will only appear later on." Explained Lori who turned away from Bobby to tell Lisa.
"I miss being on the show." Ranted Lola.
And that ends this one-shot… maybe. I got the idea to write this when I noticed that most of my stories and future stories were a bit dark. So, I decided to write something stupid and silly to show that I wasn't stuck to the dark themes. If you couldn't tell this story was inspired by Aces Wild by 'The Siege Perilous'.
The idea of girls fighting over Lincoln sounded funny to me, so I decided to write something small about it, but then I got a bit more invested and now we're here with 4703 words. Now as for if this is a one-shot… I don't know.
This story requires a lot of creativity and therefore would take a long time to produce another chapter. But I did really enjoy writing this so maybe there will be more chapters. Also, as a final note, there won't be any rated M scenes here. So, if I continue to write this don't expect any M rated stuff.
Oh yeah actually, one last thing, all of this is just for the purpose of fun and not to make fun of a character or different Linc ships. And if you want me to continue writing then feel free to Follow, Favorite or even Review as that really helps my motivation in making any kind of story/chapter.
