A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter seventeen of this story. Here, the sisters try to help Lincoln.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
It was a new day in Royal Woods, Michigan. At 1216 Franklin Avenue, that meant the first day Lincoln would be without his son. After changing, Lincoln went to his room to get ready for school. A knock on the door caused Lincoln to turn around.
"Linky! This is my crayon!" cried Lola.
"No! It's mine!" cried Lana.
Both girls where holding onto a fire engine red crayon.
"never a boring day around here." sighed Lincoln.
Lincoln walked over and took the crayon.
"You two know you have to share." said Lincoln.
Both twins hung their heads.
"You're getting too old for this." added Lincoln.
"Sorry Lincoln." said Lola guilty.
"Yeah. Sorry." said Lana guilty.
"I hope you learn from this." replied Lincoln.
As Lincoln turned around, the twins nodded.
"It's so weird not having Lorenzo in here." stated Lana.
Lincoln was thrown off by this.
"It must be weird to be alone." added Lola.
"I've had my own room since Lucy was born." shrugged Lincoln.
Lincoln turned back around.
"Now, what are you up to?" asked Lincoln.
"Nothing." answered the twins in unison.
"You wouldn't bring that up if you weren't up to something. I've been around way too long to know that." said Lincoln.
The twins shared a worried glance.
"Just go and we'll forget about this." said Lincoln.
The twins where forced to accept defeat.
"Okay Lincoln." said the two.
Lincoln headed downstairs to wait for the others. As he reached the bottom of the stair, a loud buzzer caused him to jump.
"Luan!" cried Lincoln angrily.
"Sorry Lincoln. It's in my nature." said Luan.
"Like the frog and the scorpion?" asked Lincoln.
"Exactly." confirmed Luan.
Luan took a moment.
"Are you feeling okay?" asked Luan.
"Fine." answered Lincoln.
Luan put her hand on Lincoln's forehead.
"No fever." mused Luan.
"Because I'm fine." said Lincoln.
Luan rubbed her chin.
"Something is wrong." said Luan.
"Please skip the Patch Adams routine." requested Lincoln.
"Is something bothering you?" asked Luan.
Lincoln let out a dry laugh.
"I get it." said Lincoln.
Lincoln shot Luan an angry glare.
"The others got to you." said Lincoln.
Luan quickly composed herself.
"I don't know what you're talking about." said Luan.
"Stay away from me." demanded Lincoln sternly.
'I'm only trying to help." protested Luan.
"You finally admit it!" snapped Lincoln.
Lincoln turned and stormed off while Luna walked up to Luan.
"Talk about A Bridge Over Troubled Water." said Luna.
"I'm not in the mood." replied Luan sadly.
The kids soon left for school. Lincoln was notable quiet the entire trip not talking to anyone and refusing to interact with anyone. At school, things went smoother for Lincoln as he didn't have to worry about his sisters in class. Alas, the day ended and Lincoln had to go. Lincoln couldn't go to the motel either as it was being fumigated. As he let school, Lincoln wasn't looking forward to the rest of his day.
"Hey Lincoln." said Lucy.
Lincoln nearly jumped out of his skin.
"Sorry." said Lucy.
"I swear we need to put a bell on you." moaned Lincoln.
"I'd find a way out of it." noted Lucy.
Lincoln shook his head.
"Anyway, what's up?" asked Lincoln suspicious.
"I have a poetry reading tomorrow night and I was hoping you'd come for support." answered Lucy.
"I'll try to fit it in, but you're an amazing poet." replied Lincoln.
"But I love having you there. You've always supported me." said Lucy.
"Aw Lucy." said Lincoln blushing.
Lucy pulled out her tarot cards.
"Do you want me to tell you your future?" asked Lucy.
"No thanks." answered Lincoln firmly.
Lucy put her tarot cards away.
"I need another approach." thought Lucy.
Lucy quickly came up with one.
"I've been talking the spirits lately." said Lucy.
Lincoln rolled his eyes as he knew where this was going.
"Someone in our house is troubled." continued Lucy.
"Lucy, I'm..." began Lincoln.
"It's Lynn." stated Lucy.
Caught off guard, Lincoln didn't know how to react.
"Have you noticed how troubled Lynn has been?" asked Lucy.
"I've been so busy I didn't notice." answered Lincoln.
Lincoln felt a ping of guilt in his heart.
"Do you you know what's wrong?" asked Lincoln concerned.
Lucy took a moment to decide her answer.
"I have a hunch." answered Lucy.
The delay in response didn't slip passed Lincoln.
"Then, what is it?" asked Lincoln.
"I...can't say." answered Lucy.
Lincoln felt his anger rise as a scowl came to his face.
"Can't...or won't?" asked Lincoln angrily.
"I..." began Lucy.
"Was it Lori or Lily?" asked Lincoln.
"I don't understand." answered Lucy.
"I want to know which one got to you." explained Lincoln.
"What do you mean?" asked Lucy.
"Don't play dumb." said Lincoln angrily.
Lucy gulped worried.
"Look in my eyes and tell me you don't know what's going on." demanded Lincoln.
Lucy adverted her gaze.
"So, you are in on this." spat Lincoln bitterly.
Lucy squirmed.
"I didn't think you'd join them." said Lincoln.
Lincoln stopped for a moment.
"Actually, I can." said Lincoln.
Lucy remained silent.
"Since you don't want to say anything, I'll keep talking." continued Lincoln.
Lucy continued staying quiet.
"I'm fine. Tell the others and leave me alone." said Lincoln.
"Okay." said Lucy softly.
Lincoln departed and went to work. He and Rob continued their work with Leni who tried to instigate a talk with Lincoln. Luckily, he was easy to distract. Finally, Lincoln was forced to head home much to his chagrin. He slipped in as silently as he could and made a B - line for his room. However, he wouldn't get away.
"Hey Lincoln." said Luna.
"Oh no. Not you too." said Lincoln.
"I said hello." noted Luna confused.
"I'm sure you're in on it." stated Lincoln.
"I don't know what you're talking about little bro." said Luna.
"Don't play dumb!" snapped Lincoln.
"Whatever bro." shrugged Luna.
Lincoln began marching to his room.
"Hey Lincoln, I'm working on a new song." said Luna.
"Good." replied Lincoln.
"I wanted to know if you wanna hear it." said Luna.
Lincoln turned and looked Luna over for signs of deceit.
"Okay." said Lincoln weary.
Luna led Lincoln to her room.
"Where's Luan?" asked Lincoln.
"Stand up." answered Luna.
Lincoln sat in the beanbag chair while Luna grabbed her guitar.
"This is a love song." noted Luna.
Blonde hair with a streak of teal
All of my wounds, you heal
You loved to rock
Your beautiful voice, I love to hear talk
Your signing sounds like a dove
You're the girl that I love
"That's about Sam isn't it?" asked Lincoln grinning.
"Maybe." answered Luna blushing.
"She'll love it." said Lincoln.
"You think so?" asked Luna hopeful.
"Totally." answered Lincoln.
"Well, here goes nothing." thought Luna.
Luna took a deep breath.
"I have another song." said Luna.
"Let's here it." said Lincoln.
A nervous Luna began strumming her guitar.
Hair that is white as snow
I hope you, that we love you
We only want to help you out
Our sincerity, please don't doubt
We think you're the best
Don't push us aside like the rest
"I knew it!" cried Lincoln.
Luna stopped as Lincoln jumped to his feet.
"I knew this was a trick!" declared Lincoln.
Lincoln began to storm out, but Luna stopped him
"This isn't a trick! We're really worried about you!" declared Luna.
"I don't need your pity!" spat Lincoln.
"This isn't about pity." noted Luna.
"Save it!" exclaimed Lincoln.
Luna was taken aback my how angry Lincoln was.
"I want you to give the others a message: butt out!" snapped Lincoln.
Lincoln stormed off leaving a heartbroken Luna behind.
"Little bro." said Luna softly.
Lincoln marched off and Lori slipped in.
"Well, that literally sucked." sighed Lori.
"I really thought he'd listen." said Luna sadly.
"For the record, nobody else had luck either." shrugged Lori.
Luna let out a groan.
"I know. Let it out." said Lori softly.
Luna suddenly balled her fists.
"We can't quit love." said Luna, in her British accent.
"That's what I like to hear!" declared Lori.
"So, what do we do now?" asked Luna.
"I've got to go back to college so it'll be a few days before I'm back." noted Lori.
"We'll handle things." said Luna.
"I know you will." said Lori.
The two shared a hug.
"I hope he we get through." thought Luna.
A/N: That's where we'll end things. So, the initial attempts have failed. However, the sisters won't quit. Next time, Ronnie Anne takes care of Lorenzo and Lincoln talks with Clyde. Please review.
