I don't own the Loud House.

Well guys here's another chapter for Too Many Dates. I kind of rushed to get this chapter out but I feel like I got the point across that I was trying to make. Within the next few chapters we will see Sam speak with Lincoln while Lori also begins Lisa's plan. There will be drama, dates, fluff, and sex coming up real soon. I have some really cute dates set up for Lincoln and his many girls and I also have some really interesting things that will come into play later. Though I do regret to inform you that these updates will be coming out slowly. I'm still rather busy and I don't have much time to write at the moment. Hopefully that will change soon.

Enjoy.

Too Many Dates

Chapter 12: The Recruitment

Wednesday morning had come and Lynn couldn't believe what she was hearing. And neither could Lucy if her stillness was anything to go by. Standing before them was their older sister, Luna, and she was telling them something that neither could believe.

"Can you say that again? I think I must have something in my ears." Lynn said as she stuck her pinkie into her left ear. "It sounded like you said that Carol slept with Lincoln last night."

"I did say that, Bruh." Luna confirmed. She had come into her sisters' room in order to break the news to them first before they found out from someone else. After all, she was on a mission and it wouldn't do to have Lynn fly off of the handle when it mattered most.

Lynn's expression changed from disbelief to anger. "Carol? As in Carol Pingrey?" When Luna nodded, Lynn jumped off of her bed. "That fucking whore! I knew that goody good girl routine was just an act! She's just as loose as that other bitch!"

"Lynn, you need to calm down!" Luna said, glaring at her younger sister and planting her fists on her hips. "Those are my friends you're talking about, bruh!"

"Well your friends need to stop spreading their legs to every dick that walks their way!" Lynn shot back. And to Luna's surprise, she saw Lucy nod in agreement.

"Lynn is right, Luna, it seems that all of your friend have a habit of fucking on the first date." Lucy said, her tone surprisingly venomous. Even Lynn was shocked by hearing Lucy curse with such ferocity. But Lucy wasn't done. "Sam, Becky, Carol, they've all slept with our brother on the first date. They claim to love him but how do we know that for sure? What if they're just using him?" Lucy stood on her bed in order to look down on Luna, clenching her tiny fists at her sides. "How long till they grow tired of their toy and toss him aside, breaking his heart in the process? How can you be sure that your friends aren't going to hurt him?"

Both Lynn and Luna looked up at Lucy, whose body was trembling with emotion which in and of itself was a first for them, seeing tears roll down her cheeks. They couldn't see her eyes because of her hair but they knew that she was glaring at Luna, her eyes teary and her cheeks red.

"Listen, dudes, I think that we got off on the wrong foot here." Luna said, trying to calm her sisters down. "I wanted to be the first to tell you because there's something else that I needed to say. But right now might not be the perfect time to say it."

"Say it." Lucy spat, her voice sharp with silent fury. The dark haired girl had yet to raise her voice which gave her such an ominous aura around her because she still spoke in her normal monotone.

Lynn crossed her arms across her chest. "Spill it, Luna, and depending on what it is, maybe I won't go and beat Sam within an inch of her life."

Luna wanted to respond to Lynn's threat but even she knew that Lynn could kick her ass. She wasn't like Lori who practiced self defense when she was younger. Sure, Lori had taught her enough that she could defend herself and hold her own. But Lynn trained even beyond what Lori knew and Luna had seen Lynn take down grown men at her tournaments that were three times her size. When Lynn said that she could kick your ass, she meant it.

"Okay, but first, I just have one question..." Luna glanced over her shoulder, checking to see if she could hear anyone outside in the hall. When she didn't hear anyone, she moved in closer to her sisters and raised her right hand up to her mouth in order to form half a cup. "Are you two also in love with Linc?"

Both Lynn and Lucy reacted but in different ways. Lynn flinched and took a step back, her eyes widening like a deer in the headlight. Lucy on the other hand remained still except for a slight change in her posture that went unnoticed by the other two.

"W-W-What are you talking about? W-Who said anything about being i-in love with Stinkoln?" Lynn stammered, trying her best not to look guilty of being in love with her brother.

"Also? Does that mean that you harbor feelings for our brother as well?" Lucy asked, her tone no longer venomous but still guarded.

Luna whistled. "Damn, she was right. You two totally have the hots for Linc!" Luna then laughed. She smiled widely at her sisters. "Yea, I dig the little dude too. And you know what else? We're not the only ones! Leni does too!"

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Lynn asked. She was confused.

"Luna, what are you saying?" Lucy asked, almost knowing what her sister was intending to say but fearful at the same time.

Luna placed a hand on both of their shoulders. "Lynn, Lucy, I want to invite you two to Operation: Too Many Dates."

Lisa watched on her security cameras what had transpired in the twins room. Of course, she already knew of their feelings for their brother. How could she not? She had predicted this event almost two years ago. She had been three when she first noticed how her brother affected her sisters when he came around. And being the scientist that she was, she observed her siblings in the hopes of discovering just what it was that made them behave differently around him.

And within months she found the answer. In simple terms, it was simply because he was male. In a close knit group such as theirs, their base instincts made them look towards their brother simply because he was, in a way, the alpha. How else would you explain why even Lori would look to Lincoln for help when things didn't go her way? It was because her animal instinct told her that Lincoln could help because he was the alpha and she was the beta.

But Lisa didn't like to think about it like that. It was too simplistic and it didn't capture the scope of the dynamics of their relationship with their brother. Lincoln, despite his faults, had many desirable qualities that one would want in a partner. The first that popped into Lisa's head was his gentle and caring nature. He loved all of his sisters equally and never picked favorites. He was also intelligent and could adapt to almost any situation. It never ceased to amaze her just how well her brother could change his approach from one situation to the next without having to prepare. She had seen first hand how he was able to maneuver throughout the house, interacting with each of their siblings, and still keep his mind focused on his objective.

Simply put, her brother was perfect in her eyes. And she was glad that he was finally starting to see that he had hidden feelings for his sisters that were hidden in the depths of his love for them.

Looking into Lynn and Lucy's room, she saw that Luna had started her pitch to Lynn and Lucy in order to get them to join Sam's plan. While Lisa had traveled through time before, this was the first time that Sam had actually made the first move. In the past, Sam and Luna had dated and together they tried to seduce Lincoln. She wondered what could have happened in order to change that outcome when it had happened several times before?

Oh well, she would figure it out in due time. Hehe. Time.

"So you're telling me that your best friend has come up with a plan to basically build Lincoln, our brother, a harem. Am I getting that right?" Lynn asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you, bruh." Luna nodded.

Lynn turned towards her sister Lucy, who had calmed down somewhat during Luna's explanation. "What do you think, Luce? You're the brains of our operation."

Lucy was quiet for a moment as she tried to process everything that Luna had told them. A part of her wanted to refuse Luna's offer because she still didn't like Sam for taking her brother from her. She knew that it wasn't like that but it was how she felt. But the rational part of her knew that they would have a higher chance of success if they worked together.

"I'm willing to hear her out..." Lucy began. "But let me be clear on one thing. I. Do. Not. Like. Her. This will not make us friends and it definitely won't make us family. At most it will make us allies if we so choose to join you."

"I'm sure that Sam would be okay with that." Luna nodded. "After all, we're doing this for Lincoln as much as we're doing it for ourselves."

"Also, we're not the only ones who want in on this." Lucy said. When Luna looked confused, she continued. "Lola and Lana are also a part of our group. If we join then they join too."

"Now way! They're into him too!?" Luna was shocked to say the least. "Aren't they a little young to be-" But she stopped when Lucy crossed her arms across her chest. She pulled at her shirt collar and chuckled nervously. "I mean, cool, the more the merrier. Hehe."

While Lincoln and Lori were busy with the twins and Carol, Luna, Lucy, and Lynn got dressed and made their way towards Sam's garage which had become the unofficial HQ. According to Luna, Sam decided to come up with her crazy plan because of something that Lisa had said to Lincoln. Lucy and Lynn didn't know what it was but if Lisa was the one who said it then it helped ease their minds that perhaps this was the right way to go.

On the way there, Lynn kept glancing over at her sister Lucy. It had been surprising to see her get so emotional. Being roommates with her, Lynn knew how to read Lucy pretty good. Not as good as Lincoln but damn near close. And among their siblings, Lucy was also her best friend. When Lucy asked her if she had feelings for Lincoln, Lucy didn't react negatively to her answer. She seemed happy, well, as happy as Lucy could get. And now that she thought about it, Lucy didn't seem bothered that Lola and Lana also had feelings for him. The only time that Lucy had shown any negative reaction to another girl loving Linc was when they all found out about Sam from Leni. But she hadn't really thought about it much since they all reacted like that.

Lucy, despite their bond, was still a mystery to her. She would play things close to her chest making her hard to read. Lynn hated to admit it but if they hadn't been roommates then she probably wouldn't have made that much of an effort to learn to read Lucy's moods. Only Lincoln ever bothered and that made her feel ashamed of herself and her family, especially her parents. But those were thoughts for another time. Right now she needed to figure out what Sam's angle was and also see what Lucy would decide to do. Because Lynn promised that she would have her sister's back no matter what and she never broke a promise.

As they entered the garage, Lynn saw that only Sam was present. Neither Becky nor Carol was there and Leni was nowhere to be seen either. Sam greeted them with a smile and asked them to sit down on the chairs she had set up.

"Welcome, Lynn, Lucy, it's good to see you two." Sam greeted.

"Cut the crap, Sharp, what is it that you want with us?" Lynn said, crossing her arms and choosing to stand. Lucy stood beside her and mimicked her actions.

"Dudes, you two need to chill out. We're all friends here." Luna said, standing in between her sisters and best friends.

"No, it's okay, Luna, I get why they're mad." Sam said. She looked at the both of them and smiled sadly. "I know that you two hate me because you feel like I'm taking your brother away. And I totally get it, he's amazing."

Sam took a step towards them and tentatively placed a hand on their shoulders. "But I don't want to take him away from you. Just the opposite. I want to help you be with him. Not just as sisters but as his lovers as well."

Lucy was the first to speak. "Why would you do this? What's in it for you?"

"Honestly? Nothing. I know that having more lovers will ultimately take away from his time with me but I also know that he wouldn't love me any less than he already does right now. But I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing it for him." Sam said.

"So you don't have some super weird incest fetish where you just wanted to see him bang one of his sisters?" Lynn asked.

Luna couldn't help but chuckle at that. "You do watch that one anime..." She teased her best friend, making her blush.

"My anime preferences have nothing to do with it!" Sam said, her face red. "Besides, you watched it with me!"

"Can you tell us what it was that Lisa said to Lincoln?" Lucy asked, bringing them back on topic.

"Oh right. Well, like I was saying, I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing it to help Ace and the reason why I decided to do this is because of what Lisa said, at least partly." Sam sat down on the end of her bed and motioned for them all to sit. "You might want to sit down for this, trust me."

With a shared look, the Loud sisters all took their seats and turned towards the sole blonde.

"Lisa told Ace that he inherited his parents combined sex drive." Sam told them. She watched as Lynn made a face while Luna grimaced.

"I already knew that but I still don't like picturing the rents going at it." Luna said.

"That explains a lot..." Lucy said more to herself than to them.

"What do you mean?" Lynn asked.

"Haven't you ever noticed that no matter how much time he spends with us that Lincoln never gets tired?" Lucy asked her sisters.

Both of them stopped to think for a moment and neither could recall a moment where Lincoln wasn't up to spending time with them.

"Sure, he gets tired eventually but he always keeps going and going. It's one of the things that I've always admired about him. His resilience and constant presence is both comforting and a mystery to me. I often wondered how it was possible that he could do so many things and not get tired. I've been watching him for years...I've always looked up to him and I could never figure out how he had the energy to deal with all of us. I get exhausted just thinking about doing what he does." Lucy then turned towards Sam. "Am I correct to assume that his sex drive is the reason you wish to have multiple partners?"

"Partly." Sam nodded. "When Ace told me about Lisa's theory, I helped him test it out. And boy let me tell you that Lisa was right on the money."

Both Lynn and Lucy blushed at the implications of what Sam was saying.

"I love Ace with all my heart. And I don't ever want him to feel like he has to hold back because I can't handle him and his lust. I don't want him to suffer because he can't find a way to relieve himself. But that's only partly why I wanted to build him a harem. The real reason I started this is because I realized that Ace isn't like other guys...he's special and he has so much love to give."

"I'll say." Luna grinned.

"Not like that, you perv. I meant that he has a big heart. And I don't hold that against him. He grew up with a big family, it's all he's known. So when he fell in love with me, I could tell that I wasn't the only one he loved. But he was willing to only love me and that made me happier than you could possibly imagine. But I didn't want to do that to him. He accepted me for me and I can't say that I truly love him if I don't do the same."

Lynn was confused. She didn't understand what Sam was saying. "You lost me. Why are you doing this? I just don't get it."

"What I'm trying to say is that I'm willing to let others love Ace so long as they truly do love him." Sam said. "And I know that the two of you truly love him and not just as a brother."

"What do you think, Lucy?" Lynn turned towards her sister.

Lucy had been quietly thinking about what she had just heard. She didn't think that Sam was lying and that helped a lot in easing her ill feeling towards the blonde. The truth was that she did feel as though Sam was taking her brother from her. By surrounding Lincoln with all those girls, Lucy felt like his attention would be diverted from them, his sisters, to his new girlfriends. And that thought terrified her. That's why she wanted to help Lynn because if Lynn could confess to their brother then maybe she would also have a chance. But now she had a new path to take, one where it almost guaranteed that she would get to be with her brother. And she said almost because there was one snag with the plan.

"What makes you think that Lincoln would ever consent to being romantically involved with his sisters?" Lucy asked.

"That is a good point." Luna admitted. Sam had never told her why her plan would work just that it would. "I mean, I don't think I've ever seen Linc show any interest in us. Hell, I don't think he even knew how to jerk it before he did it with you, Sam."

"Lincoln did 'jerk it', as you put it."

Everyone turned to look at Lucy as she blushed and looked away.

"What now?" Luna wasn't sure she heard correctly.

"Lucy, what are you saying?" Lynn asked, her eyes widening and her cheeks reddening at the implications.

"Did you watch Ace through the vents?" Sam asked. She knew of the vents in Lincoln's room and she also remembered him telling her that Lucy liked to travel throughout the house through the vents.

Lucy nodded slowly, embarrassed at having to admit that she did such a thing. "I saw him one night...I didn't know what he was doing but curiosity got the best of me. When I saw him pull out his penis...I couldn't look away, I was caught in a trance as I was him stroke himself until fruition. It was the first time I ever experienced arousal."
"Dude..." Luna could not believe what she was hearing. "D-Did you...?" but the rest of the question didn't need to be said. They all knew what Luna was asking.

"Yes..." Lucy admitted. That had been the first time she ever touched herself, the first time she ever felt the need to. And it hadn't been the only time, whenever Lincoln would masturbate, she would join him from her hiding space, biting into her journal in order to not make a sound. And dreaming to one day experience making love to such a wonderful man.

"Well...since we're admitting things...I've seen Linc jerk off too." Lynn admitted, scratching the back of her head. "It happened after one of our wrestling matches a year ago or so. I felt something prodding me in the back and I told him that he couldn't use weapons. I didn't know it at the time but he had gotten hard while fighting me. He got all flustered and made up some lame excuse and ran up to his room. I got curious about what was up and I spied on him through the vents as well." Her face turned crimson. "I-It was also the first time I touched myself..."

Hearing the Loud sisters's confession, Sam turned to her best friend. "Did you touch yourself while watching your brother also?" She joked.

Luna looked offended. "I'll have you know that I first touched myself to Mick Swagger!" She declared. Then she blushed having admitted her secret. She glared at her friend. "Who did you touch yourself to first?" She demanded.

Seeing as how they were all sharing, Sam blushed a bit before answering. "Ms. Dimartino."

Luna snapped her fingers. "Man, she's hot. Can I change my answer?"

"We're getting off topic." Lucy interjected. She turned towards Sam. "You said you have a plan. Let's hear it and depending on what it is we shall join you." She then crossed her arms over her chest and despite no one being able to see her eyes, she glared at the blonde making her shiver. "But be warned, if I find any deception or trickery in your plan that will hurt my brother, nothing in this realm will save you from my wrath."

The room suddenly felt colder and each of the girls felt a chill run down their spine. Despite being the youngest, Lucy could be downright terrifying when angry.

"I see..."

Sam had just finished explaining her plan and now she was waiting for Lucy and Lynn to process what they had been told. In her mind, it was a plan worthy of Ace's caliber. But even she knew that no plan was foolproof and there were many ways that it could go wrong. Especially since part of her plan would still depend on her talking to Ace about their relationship going forward. She planned on speaking with him on thursday and maybe going out on a date with him. She hadn't gone out on a date in almost a week and she was missing her partner in crime.

"Sam...if you can pull this off then Lynn and I would be willing to join you..." Lucy began.

"But...?" Sam asked because there was always a but.

"But I do have two requirements. The first is that Lola and Lana are also part of the deal. They love Lincoln as much as we do and they deserve a chance with him same as we do." Lucy said.

Sam nodded. That was doable. "And the second?"

"You have to tell Lincoln the truth and I mean the whole truth." Lucy said. "While listening to your plan, you never explicitly said that you would inform Lincoln of your plan, only that you would talk to him. If you don't reveal to him the whole truth then I fear we would only end up hurting him."

"You guys, Sam is totally going to tell Linc the truth. You can trust her." Luna chimed in, wrapping an arm around her friend.

"I'm with Lucy on this one. Do you promise to reveal the whole truth to him?" Lynn asked.

"Of course I promise." Sam said easily. She had every intention of being honest with Ace. She was just gonna be careful with her word choice, after all, she wanted him to believe that it was his idea and not hers. That way he wouldn't feel as guilty when she would 'suggest' the same idea. That way it would look like they were on the same page.

"Okay then, so long as you promise then we'll join." Lucy said. She reached out to shake Sam's hand and the blonde gasped as Lucy pulled her in close with surprising strength. "Don't make me regret this, Sharp."

End of chapter.
