And now an In Tents Debate.
Also, I edited several of the last chapters because I've thought it over and I decided to include Ronnie Anne and Bobby's dad Arturto Santiago in the story.
And to answer your questions, yes I am upset that DuckTales (2017) and Big Hero 6 The Series are ending, but I do hope they go out with a bang.
Enjoy!
Title card: In Tents Debate
"Are you guys going camping or something here?" asked Mollie.
"Guess we'll have to see." shrugged Girl Jordan.
Lincoln's eyes widened when he saw in the picture, Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily on one side of him and Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, and Lisa on the other.
"Oh boy…" he mumbled.
"Lincoln, you ok?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"I… I'm fine." he replied.
[The kids are having a sibling meeting in Lori and Leni's room.]
Luan: "And finally, the motion to ration shampoo due to chronic shortages passed. By a hair!" [laughs as her siblings groan at her joke.]
"Nice one!" laughed Benny, making Luan giggle.
"I thought you didn't allow your siblings into your room anymore aside from Leni." Carol said in confusion.
"Sibling meetings and some other stuff are exceptions." Lori said.
Lori: "So, the minutes from our last meeting are approved." [bangs shoe on Leni's sewing table like a gavel.] "Any new business?" [Lincoln raises his hand.] "Anyone? Anyone? No one?"
Lincoln: [agitated] "Lori!"
Lori: "I'm just messing with you. Lincoln has the floor."
Lincoln: "As you all know, our annual trip to Scratchy Bottom Campgrounds is quickly approaching."
[The girls groan]
"Is it that bad?" Sid asked.
"You have no idea." groaned Luan.
Lynn: "That place is the worst. Bears always steal our food."
[Lily roars like a bear]
"Aww!" everyone gushed.
"She's so cute!" Sam cooed with a smile.
Lily giggled in response.
Leni: "And we have to sleep on the hard ground!"
"Yeah that's never easy." nodded Albert.
"Did you have to sleep in the woods in the military Pop-Pop?" asked Lynn.
"No, whenever I went camping for fun." Albert rpleid. "But still, fond memories."
Lola: "And poop in the woods!"
Lana: "I like pooping in the woods."
"Eww!" several people exclaimed.
"Why would you even like that?" Ronnie Anne cringed.
"I just like it." Lana shrugged.
"She acts more like an animal than a human." Lola muttered.
"What can I say? I'm one with nature." Lana shrugged.
Lisa: "And the Dipterum Culicidae are the size of Mustelas Nivalis." [the others look at her confused with crickets chirping.] "The mosquitoes are the size of weasels."
Everyone cringed at the thought.
"Ugh, I hate mosquitos." muttered Carol.
"So annoying!" Carlotta said in agreement.
"The thought of them being the size of weasels is very disturbing." shuddered Howard.
"And scary." added Carlos.
Lincoln: [scared] "And don't forget the scary hill people hiding in the trees!" [imagines the hill people.]
Lori: "There's no such thing as hill people, Lincoln."
"Scary hill people?" CJ asked in confusion.
"What are they?" asked Becky.
"Legend has it that these creepy people live on the other side of the hills over at that camp." said Clyde.
"But no one's ever claimed to have really seen them." added Rusty.
Carl then noticed something. "Hey, what's up with Lincoln?" he asked.
Everyone looked towards the Loud boy. Lincoln was pale, horror plastered on his face.
"Lincoln?" Lynn asked, waving a hand in front of his face.
No response.
"Bro, are you ok?" Luna asked in concern.
Still no response.
"Lincoln?!" Leni called again.
"Gee, he's still as a cow on it's first milking day." said Liam.
Ronnie Anne shook Lincoln by the shoulders.
"Lincoln! Are you ok?!" she shouted.
Lincoln shook his head as he unfroze.
"Huh? Oh, uh, y-yeah, I-I'm fine…" he replied.
"Lincoln, what happened?" Lori asked in concern.
"Just… bad memories…" was all Lincoln said.
Everyone was concerned, but decided not to press further and turned back to the screen.
Lincoln: "My point is, why can't we go someplace different like..." [holds up two brochures] "...Aloha Beach or Dairyland Amusement Park?"
[The tagline for Dairyland is "So UDDER-ly fun, you'll spill your milk!]
"Now those are the best places to go!" said Frida.
"Yes, swimming at the beach can prove good exercise against the waves." said Carlos.
"And amusement parks always give you thrills." added Zach.
Lori: "Because Mom and Dad will never go for it."
Lincoln: "How do we know? We've never asked."
[The others seem to like the idea.]
Lori: "Fine. All in favor of Lincoln wasting his time and asking Mom and Dad?"
[Lincoln and the other girls raise their hands.]
Lori: [sighs] "Motion passes." [bangs her shoe]
[Lincoln has just asked his parents.]
Rita: "Fine with us, sweetie."
Lynn Sr.: "Sure, son. I don't see why not."
"That was easy." commented Carl.
"Nothing's ever easy little bro." said Carlotta.
"You can say that again Carlotta." Lincoln muttered.
[Lincoln has told them the news and all except Lori are cheering.]
Lori: "So? Which is it? Aloha Beach or Dairyland?"
Lincoln: "Oh. They didn't say. I guess it's up to us decide."
"Oh this will not end well." Ronnie Anne muttered.
"Whaddya mean?" asked Sid.
"From what I heard from Lincoln, well, you'll see." the Latina replied.
Lincoln: All in favor of Aloha Beach?" [Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily raise their hands.] "One, two, three, four, five..."
Luna: [surprised Lucy voted for Aloha Beach.] "You wanna go to the beach, Lucy?"
Lucy: "Two words: "Shark Attacks"."
Many people looked distrubed while the Morticians Club nodded in understanding.
"But I thought you hated the beach." Huggins said in confusion.
"The shark attacks were the only thing I enjoyed about it prior to that field trip." Lucy replied.
Everyone now looked more disturbed.
"Wonder if she'll ever change her mind if she actually sees a shark attack." Rusty whispered to Liam.
"Yeah, shark attacks are scarier than my Meemaw sunburned." Liam shuddered.
Lincoln: "All in favor of Dairyland?" [Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, and Lisa raise their hands.] "One, two, three, four, five."
"I thought you all loved Dairyland." Joey said in confusion.
"Well when the beach is given as an option, we'll immediately chose it." said Lori.
"Yeah, I totes love getting a tan." said Leni.
"And I like building sand castles." added Lola.
"Lily like to swim!" said Lily.
Leni: "It's five against five! We win!"
Lynn: [fold her arms and annoyed.] "It's a tie, Leni."
Lola: "Wait a minute. Lincoln didn't vote."
Lori: "Well, Lincoln, what's it gonna be?"
Lincoln: "It's so hard to choose. I really like the beach." [Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily cheer while Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana and Lisa complain.] "But I love Dairyland." [Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, and Lisa cheer while Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily complain.] "I don't know. I can't decide. I need more time. Can I have till the end of the day?"
[The girls are indifferent on this.]
Lori: "Fine. You have until the end of the day to decide." [bangs shoe and adjourns meeting.]
"Oh I see." said Sid, getting what Ronnie Anne meant.
"Oh boy…" mumbled Clyde.
"This is not good." muttered Stella.
"It's never easy when it comes down to you, aye mate?" asked Chunk.
"Never is Chunk." Lincoln grunted.
[In his room with both pamphlets.]
Lincoln: [sighs] "Now I've done it. If I choose Aloha Beach, five of my sisters are gonna be mad at me. And if I choose Dairyland, the other five will be mad. Making a decision is gonna be rough."
"Seriously rough." mused Stella.
"Yeah, he'll have five sisters furious with him no matter what he choses." nodded Girl Jordan.
"Couldn't you girls have compromised?" Rita asked.
The sisters all looked away.
[Enter Lola with a silver tray in her hands.]
Lola: "Hey, Linky. I brought you something!" [reveals pancakes] "A short stack from your favorite short stack! You should never make a big decision on an empty stomach."
Lincoln: "Wow! Thanks, Lola!" [starts eating]
"You're bribing him?" Sam asked in disapproval.
"Not cool Lola." said Sid.
Lola looked away, ashamed.
[Enter Lynn]
Lynn: "Hey, little bro. I was just thinking. With all the pressure you're under to decide..." [takes away pancakes] "...maybe a massage would help you relax. HIYA!" [flips Lincoln onto his back and starts patting his back repeatedly and rapidly.]
"And now you're bribing him too?" Margo asked in disapproval.
"I see where this is going." Carlotta frowned. "Both sides are gonna goad Lincoln into choosing."
"Girls…" Lynn Sr. and Rita said disapprovingly.
The sisters looked away shamefully.
Lincoln: [in a shaking tone] "Uh… this is awkward. Down a little… I carry most of my stress in my lower back… Aw..."
"Wow, you must be really good at massages Lynn." mused Harold.
"Thank you." Lynn smiled.
"Maybe you should work part-time at a spa when you're not playing in any big leagues." suggested Francisco.
"Yeah, you do a greta job." Lincoln commented.
Lynn smiled at the praise.
[Lincoln goes to the bathroom to take a shower but sees Lori, believing he barged in by accident.]
Lori: "Shower time."
Lincoln: "Huh?"
[Lori has set up the shower just for Lincoln.]
Lori: "Take a nice long one. I cleared the bathroom schedule." [helps him in while Leni, Lola, Lily, and Lucy arrive at the door.]
"You guys have a shower schedule?" Grant asked.
"In a big family, we have schedules for several stuff." Rita replied.
"Same thing down at the retirement home." added Albert.
Lincoln: "Wait. You guys aren't trying to get my vote for Aloha Beach, are you?"
Lori, Lola, and Lucy: [sweetly] "No."
Lily: "No, no, no."
"Really subtle." Morpheus deadpanned.
"Agreed." nodded Boris.
Leni: "Wait! I thought we were!"
[Lori, Lucy, and Lola sigh and Lily looks blankly at her stupidity.]
"My bad." Leni said sheepishly.
"We're past it Leni." Lori sighed.
[After his shower, Lincoln hears noise through his door, he finds Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, and Lisa cleaning his room.]
Lincoln: "Cleaning my room? You guys aren't trying to get my vote for Dairyland, are you?"
Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lana: [faking denial] "What? No no no."
Luan: "Now that's funny."
Lisa: [honestly] "Of course, we are."
"Really Lisa?" deadpanned Mollie.
"At the time, I wasn't one for lying unless it was for a surprise party for a family member." Lisa replied. "But after an experience with lies and truths, I decided that sometimes they are for the greater good."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
[They go back to cleaning Lincoln's room.]
Lincoln: "I amend my earlier statement. Deciding on where to go for our vacation might not be so rough after all."
"Lincoln, what are you up to?" Lynn Sr. asked sternly.
Lincoln just chuckled nervously.
"I see where this is going too." mused Carl.
"This will end well." Mr. Grouse deadpanned.
[Lincoln walks down the stairs to see Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily are dressed in tropical beach attire.]
Aloha Beach Girls: "Aloha, Lincoln!"
"Wow, you girls look beautiful!" Bobby complimented.
"Yeah, you're really working those outfits." nodded Chaz.
Lori, Leni, Lucy, and Lola blushed at the compliments while Lily giggled.
[Lori gives him a lei, Lucy gives him a tropical shirt, Lola gives him shades, Lily gives him a drink by delivering it on her head, and Leni gives him something extra.]
Lincoln: "What's that?"
Leni: "It's your homework. All done."
Lincoln: [nervous] "Uh...you did it?"
Lori: "I did."
Lincoln: "Phew...I mean, not that it matters."
"So your oldest sister did your homework?" Agnes asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lincoln and Lori looked away while Rita and Lynn Sr. gave them looks.
"Let's be honest Agnes, a lot of kids have other people do their homework for them." said Norm.
Principles Huggins, Ramierez, and Rivers nodded in agreement.
"It's true." nodded Carlos. "Even at the colleges I either teach or guest lecture at."
[Lincoln goes to the kitchen; a clown horn honks and Lincoln sees someone he admires; Luan has dressed herself up as the Dairyland mascot.]
Luan: "Hiya, Lincoln!" [honks nose]
Lincoln: "Tippy the Cow!"
"Whoa! You guys got Tippy the Cow?!" Bobby asked excitedly.
"No, just the costume." Luna replied.
"Oh." Bobby deflated.
Luan: "Well, that's right!" [puts an official Dairyland udder hat on Lincoln's head.] "And guess what I have for my favorite fan!" [holds Lincoln's laundry all done.]
Lincoln: "You did my laundry? Wow! Thanks, Tippy!"
Luan: "You're welcome!" [honks nose] "I'll see you soon at America's favorite dairy themed a-moo-sement park!" [dances off]
Lincoln: "Bye, Tippy! I love that cow."
"Despite the fact that I knew what you were up to, I do love that cow." said Lincoln as he faced Luan. "Thanks sis."
Luan smiled as she side-hugged Lincoln.
[Lola has seen what just went on and knows she and her team must try harder.]
"Oh I don't like the looks of this." muttered Skippy.
"Neither do I." said Winston.
[Lincoln enters his room where the Aloha Beach girls have made some renovations to it.]
Lori: "Welcome to your own private beach. Where we have sun, sand, and surf." [turns on a heat lamp for sun, puts Lincoln's feet in a bucket of sand, and puts a surfboard on his bed.]
"Now that is pretty cool." mused Clyde.
[They put Lincoln on the board and he pretends to surf with Leni moving his arms and Lucy spraying water in his face.]
Lucy: "Don't forget screams."
[A shark fin pops from under Lincoln's bed and it reveals to be Lily pretending to be one as the other girls scream in a fake tone.]
"Aww!" everyone gushed at Lily being a shark.
"First a squirrel, then a bear, and now a shark!" Girl Jordan cooed with a smile.
"Lily's so cute dressed like animals." giggled Dana.
"Wait until you see her as a baby kangaroo." said Lisa.
The girls squealed.
Lori: "And if you vote Team Beach, the fun will literally never stop."
Leni: "Yeah. If you need anything else, just give us a toot." [holds out a conch shell and blows into it.]
[Lana has been watching them and realizes that she and her team can do better than that.]
"Chihuahua..." grunted Hector.
[Lincoln is eating a bowl of cereal; his chair begins to move on its own.]
Lincoln: "What's happening?!"
'[The Dairyland girls are pushing it around.]
Lynn: "ALL ABOARD THE I SCREAMER!"
Lisa: "Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times."
[The girls start pushing him around the table as if he's on a roller coaster.]
Lincoln: "WOO-HOO! FASTER! FASTER!"
"Now that looks fun!" CJ beamed.
"While it is wrong, I do see why you took advantage of your sisters' efforts." said Clyde.
Lincoln gave a half-smile.
[The ride eventually comes to a complete stop.]
Luna: "Hope you enjoyed the ride, bro."
Luan: "If you vote for Dairyland, you'll have two percent more fun!" [laughs as she pours in 2% fat milk into his cereal.]
Lisa: "If you require our services… [holds out a cowbell and rings it] "...just call on Team Tippy."
[Lincoln realizes that with the bell and the conch, he can have his sisters do anything for him]
"Lincoln…" Rita and Lynn Sr. said scoldingly.
"This is just gonna lead to trouble." Maria sighed.
"The crazy kind." nodded Arturo.
Lincoln rings the bell and Lana brings him hot cocoa with marshmallows and blows on it to cool it; he blows into the conch and Lucy fluffs his pillow; he rings the bell and Luna turns the page on his comic book; he blows into the conch and Leni gives him a pedicure while he's playing video games.
"You actually asked Leni to give you a pedicure of all things?" Mandee asked in disbelief.
"No offence, but you don't seem like the kind of kid that would want one." said Jackie.
"Actually, I don't mind them." said Lincoln. "And you know, some men actually have pedicures."
"He is correct." said Miguel. "It's like he said about perfume, boys can be allowed to use those kinds of fragrances as well."
"Plus, a lot of rockstars have pedicures, both boys and girls." added Luna.
Those who didn't know that hummed in agreement.
Lincoln rings the bell and he shoots hoops with Lynn; he blows into the conch and Team Beach gives him the works where Lori peels and feeds him grapes, Leni fans him with a giant palm tree leaf, Lola blows bubbles and Lucy tosses flower pedals; he rings the bell and Team Tippy has him lounging in a hammock where Luna, Luan, and Lisa rub his muscles and Lana provides some relaxing music for him.
[The end of the day.]
"While we get that your sisters have you a nice experience Lincoln, it still wasn't right to take advantage of it." Lynn Sr. scolded.
Lynn: "Alright, Lincoln, your time's up. What's it gonna be?"
Lincoln: "I know I said I'd decide by the end of the day, but I'm still torn. Can I have just one more day?"
Lola: [starting to snap] "Why, you lousy little-"
Lori: [holds Lola back] "Uh...not a problem." [chuckles] "We understand."
[The girls agree and leave.]
Lincoln: [to the viewers] "Can you blame me? No matter what I decide, five of them are still gonna be mad at me. But this day has been amazing. So I figure, why not take advantage of it a little longer?"
"Bad idea Lincoln." said Ronnie Anne.
"I know." Lincoln sighed.
[Meanwhile, Team Beach is having a meeting.]
Lori: "Ugh. What are we going to do, you guys? We need to try harder to show him why the beach is better."
Lola: [gets a sinister idea] "Or...maybe we should show him why Dairyland is worse..."
[They all huddle in agreement.]
"Girls…" Rita and Lynn Sr. said warningly.
"What do you girls think you're doing?" Albert asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily looked away in guilt.
[The next morning, Lincoln rushes to the bathroom.]
Lincoln: "Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee! Note to self: no more cocoa before bed!" [stops] "What's going on?"
Lucy: "Waiting in line for the bathroom. Better get used to standing in lines if you're gonna vote for Dairyland."
[Lily comes out of the bathroom]
"I thought Lily was in diapers at the time." Rosa said in confusion.
"I think she wasn't really going to the bathroom and just did that as part of the plan." Sid said.
Lily giggled sheepishly.
[One by one, Team Beach takes their turn using the bathroom while Lincoln is struggling to hold it; finally he gets his turn, but there's a Dairyland style sign saying the toilet's out of order.]
Lincoln: "What? Sorry! This ride is temporarily closed? NOOOOOOOOO!"
"Girls!" Rita and Lynn Sr. exclaimed.
"You do realize that there were thirteen of us in that house who use only one bathroom?!" Rita scolded.
Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lori, and Lily looked down in shame.
[Lynn rushes over and sees what Team Beach did.]
Lynn: "Oh, so that's how they wanna play..."
"Now what do you think you're doing?" Rita asked.
Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, and Lisa look down in shame.
[Lincoln can't take it anymore and decides to go in the shower instead.]
Lincoln: Ah...sweet relief!"
"Eww, seriously?" Carlotta gagged.
"Let's be honest here, a bunch of us have peed in the shower before." said Lana.
Some murmurs of agreement went around.
[Lynn turns the hot water off.]
Lincoln: "AAAAAHHHH! FREEZING! What happened to all the hot water?"
Lynn: "You'd better get used to it if you vote for the Beach."
Lisa: "Because the average ocean temperature is 16.6 degrees Celsius."
"Girls!" Rita and Lynn Sr. said again.
"We need the hot water too!" Lynn Sr. exclaimed.
"Sorry Dad." Lynn said in shame.
[Lincoln goes to change into his clothes and, as soon as he puts on his underwear, finds that it's filled with sand and confronts Team Beach.]
Lincoln: "Uh, guys, FYI. Sand in my crack does not make me want to vote for the beach!"
[Team Beach is shocked and Lana and Luna snicker, knowing their plan is working.]
"Are you two crazy?!" Sam exclaimed. "That sand could've given him a rash!"
Luna and Lana winced in guilt.
[Lincoln is having breakfast, and Team Beach starts making some modifications to the I Screamer by pushing it too fast.]
Lincoln: "Guys! Guys! Too fast! Too fast, guys! Guys, too fast! I'M GONNA HURL!"
[Team Beach gets out of the way and Lincoln pukes under the table and sees Team Tippy.]
Lincoln: "Word of advice. Blowing chunks does not make me want to vote for Dairyland!"
"Making him sick, are you nuts?!" exclaimed Ronnie Anne.
Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lola, and Lily sighed in guilt.
[Lincoln finds a gift bag on his bed with a card on it.]
Everything you'll need for fun in the sun. Enjoy. Team Beach.
Lincoln: [finds a beach ball, a pair of sandals, and something he'll definitely need.] "SPF 800 sunscreen. Perfect for my fair skin." [rubs it all over the uncovered parts of his body.] "Hm. Tingly."
[However, this "sunscreen" causes Lincoln to get a severe sunburn and scream in pain.]
Lincoln: "News flash! Giving me a sunburn is not the way to win my vote!"
Lori: "Huh?" [checks the sunscreen bottle, peels the label and finds it's a fake.] "Sodium Hydrochlorite? Avoid contact with skin? This has Lisa written all over it!"
"You gave your brother a sunburn?!" snapped Rita.
"Are you insane?!" cried Bennya.
Lisa looked away in shame.
Leni: "So that's how you spell Lisa?"
Everyone facepalmed.
[Lincoln has cooled his burn down a little bit and sees Tippy again.]
Lincoln: "Tippy!"
[But this time, Tippy looks like a grotesque mad cow.]
Lincoln: "Mad cow! Mad cow!"
[Tippy chases Lincoln around the house until he escapes her.]
Lori: "Well?"
[It turns out Lucy was in this version of the Tippy costume.]
Lucy: "Worked like a charm. Aloha Beach is in our future."
"Were you trying to traumatize him?!" exclaimed Arturo.
"Did you all lose your minds that day?!" exclaimed Frida.
The ten sisters all sighed in guilt.
[Enter Team Tippy]
Luan: "We knew it! You've been sabotaging us!"
Lori: "We sabotaged you? You put sand in Lincoln's underpants!"
Lana: "But you started it with the line for the bathroom!"
"All you ten were to blame." said Haiku. "Every single one of you tortured your brother so he would chose the opposite destination."
[The girls start arguing over whose fault it is that Lincoln isn't voting for their side and Lincoln is in agony and calling for help on the conch and bell, but no one is coming for him because they're too busy arguing.]
Lincoln: "Can I get an ice pack? Some bandages? A hug? Where is everybody?"
"Jeez, they put you through a lot that morning." Clyde winced.
The girls all looked down in guilt.
[The girls are still arguing and Lincoln comes down to get their attention with the instruments.]
Lincoln: "I'm blowing the conch, I'm ringing the bell, and yet, nothing!"
Lynn: "YOU! This is all your fault!"
Lori: "Yeah! If you had just made up your mind, none of this would have happened!"
[The girls all start blaming Lincoln for their warfare on each other.]
"His fault? His fault?!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed as she shot an angry glare at the girls. "You ten were the ones being childish!"
"Well Lincoln was the one who made us into his slaves and got us into an argument!" Lola shot back.
"He made you his slaves?" Ronnie Anne asked with a glare. "That's not how we saw it."
"Ronnie Anne's right." said Clyde with a glare. "You girls could've just decided on your own."
"But instead you decided to serve Lincoln just so you could get him to go along with your choices." added Sid, glaring as well.
"It wasn't like that!" Lori protested.
"I think it was." Bobby said with a frown.
"From what I've heard, you guys have never treated Lincoln like that." said Rusty.
"But after he was tasked to make a decision did you start treating him like royalty." added Stella.
"Still, he took advantage of us!" said Laun.
"And that was selfish!" added Lana.
"You're right." Lincoln nodded. "That was selfish of me."
Lincoln then glared hard at his sisters.
"But you know what else is selfish? Sisters trying to persuade their brother into choosing where they want to go!" he snapped.
"And from what you girls were arguing about, you all tried to sabotage each other." Rita said with a frown.
"So that argument was on all ten of you." Lynn Sr. added with a frown.
"And once again, were you out of your minds that day?!" Frida exclaimed. "Putting sand in his underwear?!"
"Trying to make him sick?!" added Maria.
"Traumatizing him with the mascot of Dairyland?!" added Rosa.
"Burning his skin?!" Albert finished angrily. "What were you girls thinking?!"
"You were actually willing to cause your own brother pain just to get what you wanted?!" Liam exclaimed.
"That is just wrong." Zach muttered.
"Lincoln was already in a tight spot with it being a tie." said Sam with a frown.
"You girls should've just accepted the decision he made regardless of which five would be mad." said Hector.
"There are other times where you could go to the other place as well." Carlos added.
The girls were taken aback by what everyone had said.
Lincoln sighed. "Girls look, I'm sorry I took advantage of your generosity. It was wrong and selfish of me." he said before giving them a soft but stern look. "But none of you were any better that day. You could've just let me decide on my own like Mr. Casagrande said. And you knew how hard it would be choosing because 5 of you would be mad at me. Be honest, who would really have not been mad at more for going with the choice that wasn't on your sides?"
The girls stood in silence, processing everything Lincoln had said.
"We're talking about this when we get back." Rita said sternly.
The Loud kids nodded in shame.
Lincoln: "Great. I was afraid of making five of my sisters mad at me. But now all ten are! There's only one thing left to do."
[Lincoln has just asked his parents.]
Rita: "Fine with us, sweetie."
Lynn Sr.: "Sure, son. I don't see why not."
[The girls are still arguing]
Lincoln: [bangs his shoe on the counter] "Quiet down! I've made my decision! We're going to...Scratchy Bottom Campgrounds!"
Sisters: "WHAT?!"
Lynn: "But what about the bears?!"
Lisa: "And the Dipterum Culicidae bites?"
Lola: "And the pooping in the woods?"
Lana: "That's still the only reason I'd go."
Lori: "Ugh. This is literally going to be the worst vacation ever."
"But it turned out that it wasn't." said Lori.
"It's true, we had the best time." nodded Lucy.
"I can see why Lincoln chose that place now despite the cons." said Sid.
"Same here." said CJ.
Lori: "This is literally the best vacation ever!"
[The sisters agree; they're at Scratchy Bottom Campgrounds and having the time of their lives.]
Luna: "Why were we so against this place?" [rings cowbell]
[Lincoln reveals to be serving them during the vacation to make it up for taking advantage on his vote and is serving them up some pineapples; Leni blows the conch and Lincoln puffs up her air mattress; the bell rings Lincoln is distracting the mosquitoes and getting bitten by them while the girls are enjoying a nice nature hike; the conch is blown while the girls are trapped on the picnic table and Lincoln comes to fend off what seems like a harmless woodland creature but is really a bear eating their food and it chases Lincoln instead; the bell rings and Lincoln digs a hole in the woods and sets up a seat and toilet paper, having made a make-shift toilet for them to use.]
"You made Lincoln your servant?!" Albert exclaimed.
"GIRLS!" Lynn Sr. and Rita shouted.
"Why would you make him do that?!" demanded Rita.
Everyone began to shout at the girls until Lincokn yelled, "QUIET!"
Everyone stopped and looked at him.
"I only became their servant during that vacation was so I could make it up to them for taking advantage of their generosity and make them feel happy." Lincoln said calmly.
Everyone was taken aback.
"Well… that explains a lot." said Sam.
"It was still a great experience." said Leni.
"All thanks to Lincoln." nodded Lynn.
"Uh, did you guys miss the montage?" Giggles asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I doubt Lincoln even enjoyed himself there, mates." Tabby added. "Mattress blowing, I get."
"But chasing off a bear?" asked Polly. "That thing was twice his size!"
"And it's extremely different when it's ten people serving one conatly vs. one serving ten." added Haiku.
"They are right." Lincoln nodded before glaring. "And you know? Lisa was right about the mosquitos. From my experience during that particular vacation, they were enormous! The lack of indoor plumbing didn't help either in that matter. Those pesky bugs wouldn't leave me alone when I did my business! I was itching in places no man should itch!"
Everyone was shocked and uncomfortable by that response.
"Bro, why didn't you just-?" Luma began before Lincoln v cut her off.
"And that wasn't all!" Lincoln continued. "That pond smelled like pee, we were twenty feet from a hornets nest, and above all, I endured all the pain and itching while smelling like a gas station bathroom while doing basically everything for you all! I didn't say anything on the matter because I wanted you to be happy! I was running ragged that whole vacation while trending to you all; rubbing your backs, getting you drinks, setting up your mattresses, pitching your tents, carrying your bags. I was fine for the first few days. But you all ended up taking it way too far! And yet you have the gall right now to say I made you my slaves?! So much for eye for an eye!"
Everyone, especially the sisters, were shocked by Lincoln's words. He seemed more livid than after the recordings of overthrowing Lori and when they caused him so much stress.
"Girls, is all of this true?" Lynn Sr. finally asked.
Before any of them could respond, Lincoln spoke up.
"But aside from all of that, the worst thing that happened was… well… just watch." he said softly.
Everyone looked at each other in concern as they faced the screen again.
Lincoln: [to the viewers; gathering firewood] "It may not be much of a vacation for me, but it's worth it if all ten of my sisters are happy. I'd say everything turned out A-okay."
[At that moment, some voices are cackling and some eyes are watching him; it's none other than...]
Lincoln: [screams and runs for his life] "THE HILL PEOPLE HIDING IN THE TREES!"
Everyone screamed in alarm.
"The hill people!" cried Clyde.
"They're real!" cried Ronnie Anne.
"They've been real all this time!" shrieked Lynn Sr.
Frida and Howard fainted.
A still scared Luna looked over at Lincoln who was now huddled in a ball. Concern washed over the musician of the Loud sisters and she went over to her brother.
"Lincoln? Bro, are you ok?" Luna asked in worry.
Luna gasped when she saw her brother up close. Lincoln was pale in the face, terror plastered in his face… and he was shaking.
"LIncoln?!" Luna asked in alarm.
Everyone began to notice Lincoln
"Lincoln?!" cried Lori.
"Are you ok big brother?" Lana asked in worry as the girls, their parents, Albert, Clyde, and Ronnie Anne huddled around him.
"Hill… people… hiding… tress…" Lincoln stammered in fight. "Laughing… cackling… crazy eyes… so dark… so creepy… SO SCARY!" he suddenly shouted, making everyone jump.
"Oh Linky…" Leni whispered, sad for her scared little brother.
"Those people scared him straight." Luan said sadly.
"And I think seeing it brought back bad memories." Lisa added.
"I can see why." Clyde said. "Who knows what they could've done to him."
"It's best not to think about it." said Ronnie Anne.
Lori began to rub Lincoln's head.
"Shhh… it's ok Lincoln." Lori said softly.
"There's no crazy hill people here." Lucy soothed as she rubbed her brother's hand.
"Don't worry Linc, they're not gonna get ya." Lana said softy.
"They're far far away bro." Lynn soothed.
"You're with us little bro." Luna soothed, rubbing Lincoln's back.
"We're here son. We're all here." Lynn Sr. said softly.
"Deep breaths Lincoln." Rita instructed.
Lincoln took a few shaky breaths as he began to calm down.
"He's calming down folks." Albert told the group.
Everyone sighed in relief.
The sisters, parents, and grandparent soothed Lincoln with their words as Lincoln stopped shaking.
"Thanks guys." Lincoln finally said.
"Of course honey." soothed Rita as Luan and Lynn helped Lincoln up.
The sisters all looked at each other in guilt, realizing how they hurt Lincoln during that trip, which was heaven for them, but hell for Lincoln.
Luna then knelt down to Lincoln's level, placed her hands on his shoulders. "Bro, we're so sorry." she said in guilt. "What we did was really really wrong."
"Everyone was right." Lori said in guilt. "We shouldn't have influenced you the way we did."
"And we shouldn't have tortured you like that!" added Leni in shame. "We were horrible!"
"We promised you heaven and we put you through hell!" added Lynn sadly.
"Guys…" Lincoln said softly. "You know that I was the one who took advantage of your generosity-"
"But it's like you said Lincoln." Luan interrupted with a guilty look. "We took it too far."
"We messed up." sighed Lana.
"And looking back at it now, we feel awful." sighed Lucy.
"We didn't mean to get so carried away at the camp." said Lisa.
"We didn't know what it was doing to you Linky." Lola said sadly.
"Sowwy Winky." Lily said sadly.
Lincoln gave them a small smile. "Thanks girls. And I'm sorry for taking advantage of you all." he said softly.
"All's forgiven little bro." Lori said with a small smile.
"Same on my end." Lincoln smiled.
"So you all admit that you all were in the wrong that week?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"We sure do R.A." Luna nodded.
"That's good." smiled Clyde.
"But we're still talking about this when we get back." Rita said sternly.
"Yes Mom." the kids nodded.
"But for now, let's just hug it out." said Lori.
"Hug! Hug!" Lilly cheered.
The sisters all hugged Lincoln with smiles, both he gladly returned. Lynn Sr., Rita, and Albert joined in.
Everyone smiled at the scene, happy that they put this mess behind them.
"That never stops being sweet." smiled Sam.
"You said it." nodded Bobby.
The Louds, Albert, Clyde, and Ronnie Anne returned to the group as the next recording started up.
