The next morning, Lincoln yawned and stretched his arms upward. He quickly noticed his baby sister sleeping soundly on his chest. Lincoln's heart melted at the sight, forgetting about yesterday but only for a moment. The disastrous convention aside, not as bad as the vision he had, Boy Jordan and his gang would want payback for yesterday. He did not know what they'll plan next or when they will plan it out but he will be ready. The more athletic members, Steak and Cathy, go to Lynn's middle school. So he wouldn't expect them until after school.
He checked the time and found that it was about time to get ready for school. "Okay, Lily, time to get up."
The infant yawned then gave Lincoln a smile. Lincoln carried his baby sister down the hall and suddenly froze. There was no line for the bathroom. Normally, this wouldn't alarm Lincoln as he's woken up early to go to the bathroom first before until Lucy caught him one day and she and the other sisters started showing up early for the bathroom as well which defeated the whole purpose. If his sisters did this, he would just go back to bed and wake up at his usual time to go to the bathroom which would have no line. So this didn't surprise him. What surprised him is what he noticed next.
He turned to the audience. "Do you guys here that?...Exactly, nothing."
There was no loud noises. No Lori gossiping with people on her phone, no Leni asking dumb questions, no music, no jokes being told followed by groans, no balls being tossed around, no poems being recited, no yelling, no fighting, no explosions, no nothing. He checked the time again, his sisters should be up by now.
After brushing both his and Lily's teeth he carried her sister back to her and Lisa's room to get his infant sister dressed. When entering he noticed Lisa wasn't in there. He ignored his genius sister's absence and took out a lavender colored t-shirt and blue pants from the drawer and presented them to Lily.
"Poo poo!" Lily complained, making an attempt to slap away the clothes. She hated wearing clothes and liked waddling around naked, the only clothing she would allow was a diaper. Mom and dad joked that Lily got this from him, which may have made his sisters jealous and accuse him of already changing Lily from the start.
"Lily," Lincoln started, "we talked about this. You need to wear clothes at daycare academy."
"Mm-mm!", Lily crossed her arms and turned her head away with her eyes closed, refusing to comply.
Lincoln smirked. "Fine, I guess I'll wear them instead."
"Goo?" This got Lily's attention. She looked up at her brother with a confused expression.
"Hm, I think lavender might be my new favorite color." Lincoln said staring at the smaller shirt with a smirk. "Why I think it brings out the color of my eyes."
"Poo-poo!" Lily protested before standing up and reaching for the clothes urgently. Lincoln just smiled and put them on his infant sister.
"Now that you're dressed lets go get breakfast."
He carried Lily downstairs, both him and his sister were shocked about the state of the kitchen which look like it had been attacked by several grenades. Both preteen and infant heard footsteps approaching and turned to see his dad coming.
"Morning sport, how is- OH MY GOSH, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KITCHEN!" Lynn Sr. screamed as he placed both hands on his cheeks and stared at the kitchen in horror.
"Wasn't me, dad. Lily and I just got here." Lincoln explained. Lily nodded, confirming he innocence as well. Lynn Sr. walked around the kitchen, getting more and more horrified as he scanned the damage.
"They made a whole in five of my pans, they broke seventeen plates, they bend five different spatulas, THEY USED ALL THE EGGS!" Lynn Sr. screamed the last part before he placed face in his hands and weep. Both Lincoln and Lily patted his shoulder sympathetically.
After helping his dad clean the kitchen, Lincoln checked the pantry. He couldn't cook Lily extra goo-goo gooey eggs because as-his-dad-said all the eggs have been used, so...
"Hey, Lily, how would you feel like having pancakes."
"GAH!" Lily replied happily and eagerly started pulling at Lincoln's leg. Lincoln just smiled and started cooking them. He made plates for for Lily, his dad, and his mom who eventually came down, and himself.
"Son, this is great!" Lynn Sr. said, as he stuffed his mouth with pancakes.
"Yeah, you really brought out the flavor." Rita said between bites.
"Mm-hmm" Lily agreed with her mouth stuffed.
After they finished eating, Lynn Sr. went outside to the garage and Lincoln slung his backpack on.
A beep was heard, Rita in response checked her phone and sighed. "Lincoln, would you mind taking Lily to daycare today? Dr. Feinstein, is having some trouble with several unruly kids."
"Sure," Lincoln replied. Taking Lily to daycare was nothing new to him and he rarely ran into any problems doing it. He slung his backpack on and picked up his baby sister. Both he and his sister were startled when Lynn Sr. swung the door open and ran to Lincoln with a panicked look.
"Lincoln, where's Vanzilla?!"
"The girls probably took it to go to school." Lincoln answered. His father's look changed from panic to confusion.
"Wait, they left you behind?" Lynn Sr. asked. None of the girls had complained about Lincoln, so he was surprised that they left without him. All except Lucy, were known to be very vocal about their anger. They did seem a little nervous about Lincoln last night. His son, on the other hand, hasn't shown any signs of anger toward the girls. This relieved Lynn as he learned a long time ago that Lincoln was the most dangerous person when angry. Luckily, it didn't happen too often.
He then remembered why he had asked for Vanzilla and groaned. "Great! Now it's gonna take hours for me to get Vanzilla to the auto repair shop!"
Lincoln was reminded that Vanzilla had been acting up on some days. It worked fine yesterday, when he and sisters were on their way to the convention. Lana tried fixing it the day before but couldn't solve the problem. Lincoln remembered how his mechanic little sister reacted when dad said that he would take the van to 'a professional'.
The matriarch of the Loud family heard that the girls left without Lincoln and frowned. "I need to have a serious talk with those girls about last night."
"Mom, I said that I was over it." Lincoln reminded. "They won, became the Kings of the Cons - or rather, Queens of the Cons - and there's nothing I can do about it."
"Honey, I'm glad you're being a great sport about this." Rita started. "But as the creator of the Full House Gang and as a significant member you should also have won a role in the movie as well."
Lily may have been a baby but she was a smart baby so she picked up what was being said but was confused. Didn't Lincoln win too?
"Your mother's right sport." Lynn Sr. agreed. He couldn't help but feel that his son got screwed over by those judges. It reminded him of his childhood with his own father and Louis. Like back when he was in fifth grade, he and his brother entered the contest with Lynn doing comedy with a ventriloquist dummy and Louis doing a karate brawl with a friend. Neither of them won but their dad constantly praised and cheered up Louis while ignoring Lynn. The memory made his blood boil.
"Not to mention, those girls neglected to tell us that those judges excluded you." Lynn Sr. said. "They lied to us."
"Guys, I'm still gonna get paid since since Stether is using my characters. So I have no problems not being in the movie." Lincoln said, hoping they would drop the subject.
"Fine, but those girls are still going to be punished as soon as they get home." Rita said firmly.
Lincoln just nodded and exited through the front door with Lily. He turned to the audience as he carried his baby sister down the sidewalk
"To tell the truth, I am pissed at those judges and at my sisters to some extent. But those directors aren't gonna change their mind regardless of what anyone tells them. But those three are going to pay me for copyright infringement!" Lincoln quickly took a deep breath, calming himself. He preferred keeping his anger in check. Lily looked up at him confused and placed a comforting hand om his chest. He smiled down at his baby sister before turning back to the audience.
"You guys might not now this but Bill Buck, bless his soul, helped me set up the rights to own the Full House Gang. Clyde didn't want to co-own because he couldn't handle the pressure, he gets pressure from a lot of things. But before I do any of that, I'm gonna find out why Mr. Buck wasn't there, several reports said that he would be attending before the movie was announced."
Lily suddenly babbled excitedly and grabbed Lincoln's cheeks in an attempt to pull herself up.
"What the...Lily, what are you...No Lily, you can't ride on my head!" Lincoln protested as Lily started climbing on his face.
Lori gripped the steering wheel in frustration as her sisters have done nothing but complain and complain this entire da. First they had to get up earlier than usual so everyone was cranky, then every sister demanded their own preferred versions of eggs for breakfast. Her sisters had vocally expected her to cook since she was the oldest despite the fact that she wasn't that much of a cook. Needless to say, her sisters got impatient and frustrated when she kept making the eggs 'wrong'. Eventually, Lori snapped at them and resulted in an all out brawl that made the kitchen a mess. When they finished and realized the kitchen's state, they rushed outside and into Vanzilla. But Vanzilla kept turning off. Lana had tried to fix the problem again but was unsuccessful in the end. This left her little tomboy sister dejected. The van was working fine now but Lori feared it would turn off again.
"THIS IS THE WORST MORNING I'VE EVER HAD!" Lola screamed in her vocal voice. "AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT, LORI!"
"Yeah, you can't cook to save a life!" Lynn yelled, as she kicked the back of the driving seat in anger. Lori had the mind to slap her athletic sister.
"Yeah, this morning hasn't been going EGGS-actly like we planned. Get it? Hahaha!" Luan joked.
"Shut up." Luna groaned.
"Guys?" Lucy asked.
"WHAT?!" Everyone in the van screamed at the goth.
"Remember, the goal here." Lucy reminded.
This calmed down the Loud sisters, though most of them were still irritated about what happened this morning. Lori silently prayed and twisted the key, Vanzilla started.
"Yes!" Lori cheered. The sooner she dropped off her younger sisters the better.
"Lucy, I agree with what you said yesterday." Luan said in a serious tone. "I really do. But how long do you think we can keep this up?"
She then held up Mr. Coconuts and talk through him. "Yeah, toots, Linc will Linc on to us."
"Mr. Sieg said he'll call us, when the set is ready." Luna reminded.
"But who knows how long that's gonna take. It could take week, months, or even over a year." Lori said, doubting this was going to end well.
"What?!" Everyone else screamed, except for Lucy.
"You're are nuts if you think I'm doing this for that long!" Lola screeched.
"We must." Lucy insisted.
"Okay lets calm down." Lori urged, not wanting another brawl to occur.
"We ain't making this a habit, sis!" Luna said directly to Lucy and ignoring her oldest sister.
"Lincoln would adapt to this in a day." Lucy argued.
"Adopt? Lincoln wants to adopt someone today." Leni asked. They all ignore her.
"Well the fact is we're not Stinkoln, Gothy!" Lynn said, irritated and ignoring Leni's stupidity.
They had arrived at Royal Woods Elementary. Lori sighed in relief that she could drop off half her sisters before another brawl broke out.
"Look, lets all just wait until after school and then think about how we're going to pull this off." Lori suggested. To her relief her sisters calmed down and Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa got out of the van.
At the Royal Woods Elementary School, Lincoln approached Clyde, Girl Jordan, Liam, Stella, Paige, Rusty, and Zach circling each other. They were a conversation about something that made all of them frustrated.
"Hey guys." Lincoln greeted. His friends faced him and their demeanor changed from irritation to delight at seeing their white-haired friend.
"Hey, Lincoln!" They all said, before their expressions turned to uncertainty.
"Everything alright?" Lincoln asked, concerned.
"Listen," Clyde said hesitantly. "I know your sisters are starring in the movie. But they're still going to bring you along, right?"
"A-at least as a c-consultant?" Liam asked, also nervously.
The white haired boy shook his head. "I'm afraid not."
"AAAAARGH!"
Lincoln jumped when the frustrated groans from not just his friends but the entire hallway, with kids ranging from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade.
"Ah'm telling ya'll them three are bad news for Ace Savvy!" Liam said in his Southern drawl.
"Yeah, plus I watched Pegster's Glass Roof." Girl Jordan informed, "I hated it so much!"
"Really, what was so bad about it?" Rusty asked. He remembered seeing commercial for it on TV, he never saw it though.
"IP!" Girl Jordan answered, with gritted teeth.
"Identity Protocol?" Zach asked confused.
"She means identity politics." Clyde answered, having seen the movie. A terrible decision he realized too late. "Maisie Pegster was shoving her political views in everyone's face."
"I heard those two pansies for judges shared her political views too." Paige added.
"Look, Ah'm gonna hold off opinions until Ah see a trailer. But mah opinions are low." Liam said.
"Every Ace Savvy fans' opinions are low after what those three hacks said at the convention." Stella stated.
"Guys, there is something else I'm worried about." Lincoln informed.
"What could possibly be me more important than Ace Savvy's name being dragged into the mud!" Paige demanded.
"The candidates for president?" Zach suggested.
"No one cares about the election!" Paige yelled in fury, startling Zach.
"I'm talking about why Bill Buck didn't show up for the convention." Lincoln answered.
Every other kid in the hallway froze. The fact that Bill Buck the creator of Ace Savvy had slipped their minds. They were too wrapped up in the displeasure of the convention to worry about the creator. Disrespecting Bill Buck was seen as taboo by every Ace Savvy fan.
"OH WE ARE SHAMS!" Liam cried as he fell to his knees and cried to the ceiling. "SHAAAMS!" The farm boy continued to weep, being offered a sympathetic pat by Stella.
"So what do you think, Lincoln?" Rusty asked. The white haired boy was often known as the one with the brains among their group and was known calculating ideas that got them out of trouble.
"We'll I'm not sure but I think Stether-"
Lincoln was interrupted by the school bell ringing.
"We'll talk about it later." Lincoln said as they all headed to class.
Colin entered his Kindergarten classroom to find most of them in a heated discussion about last night.
"They've been at this for almost an hour."
Colin turned to see Camille standing next to the door, making sure to stay out of the discussion as much as possible.
"Are they mad about the convention?" Colin asked the dark-skinned girl.
"Aren't you?" Camille asked.
"Yeah." Colin answered truthfully.
The two stood in silence before heading toward the discussion as it was only a matter of time before the lecture started.
"Will you guys relax." A female Kindergartener said.
"How could you be calm at a time like this!?"Stevie demanded.
"Because we haven't seen anything from the new Ace Savvy movie yet." Another kindergartener stated, this one male.
"True, but the fact that the Loud sisters are involved is a let down." Pam said.
"Yeah, hate most of them." Stewie said.
"One of them can't even show emotion to save a life." Stuart added.
Camille and Colin shared a look before Camille spoke up. "Come on, guys. I know last night was horrible, but lets give them a fair chance."
"NO!" Pam screeched "They will ruin Ace Savvy and turn him into lovey dovey!"
"Or turn him into a Disney princess!"
"Or make it more about an educational movie!"
"You guys are making a big deal out of nothing." Camille stated.
"WHAT?!"
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!"
"OF COURSE ITS A BIG DEAL!"
Camille was bombarded by several statements demanding to know how she was still calm about this. "Because, Lincoln wont allow Ace Savvy's name to be tarnished. He's created an Ace Savvy comic before which featured all ten of his sisters and it was really good. Stuart, remember how he plays Ace Savvy with you guys when he babysits?"
"Of course I do," Stuart answered. "Stevie always screams and runs into his room every time he comes over."
Stevie, though flinching at Lincoln's name, took offense to his green wearing brother's comment.
"My point is, Lincoln knows Ace Savvy and he's known as the 'Man With The Plan' he can convince people, especially grown ups. So as long as he's involved with the new Ace Savvy movie, everything should be just fine." Camille explained.
The kindergarteners processed what she said. Most of the students in the classroom have not met Lincoln but they were aware of his title as 'The Man With The Plan' among the crazy Loud family.
"You're right," Scotty said with a hopeful smile, "Lincoln wont let anything bad happen to Ace Savvy."
"And I was planning to invade and destroy the Loud sisters. Huh, Colin?" Stewie laughed as he turned toward the redhead who had an uneasy expression on his face.
"Um, guys?" Colin asked nervously. They all turned to the redhead, confused by his expression. "I...actually...talked to Lincoln yesterday at the convention."
"Oooh nooo." Stuart said, giving a look of horror. He hoped he was wrong about what Colin was about to say.
"Lincoln-"
Colin was interrupted by the door to their classroom slamming open, the startled class and teacher turned to see an irate Lola.
"Oh, joy!" Pam muttered.
"LINKY IS NOT GOING TO BE IN MY MOVIE!" The pageant girl marched toward the group in fury.
"Ugh, why are you here?" Stevie groaned.
"Wait, were you eavesdropping?" Colin asked. His question was ignored.
"THE MOVIE IS ABOUT ME! MEEEEE! I'M THE STAR, NOT LINKY! SO YOU ALL SHOULD JUST DEAL WITH-" Lola screamed in rage.
"Alright, back to your own classroom." Their female Kindergarten teacher grabbed Lola by her arm and started dragging the pageant champion out of the door and she loudly proclaimed. "I'm the star! I'm the star!"
The teacher finally managed to carry her out to the hallway but Lola stuck her head in one last time.
"I'M THE STAR!" Before the teacher pushed her out and closed the door, locking it. Everyone just stared at the door as the teacher went back to her desk. Slowly the new nervous Kindergarten class turned to Colin
"Um, C-C-Colin, w-what were y-y-you going to s-say?" Scotty hesitantly asked. The redhead wondered if he should lie to keep their hopes up. But his mom told him that he needed to be honest about things, otherwise people wouldn't trust again him again. A memory of Lincoln telling him that people could find the truth from others.
"Lincoln isn't going to be there, those judges didn't want him." Colin admitted. This made everyone's hope for the movie diminished.
Camille said, "Okay, now everyone can panic."
The whole class let out a series of groans of disappointment until the teacher decided to put a stop to it. "You can panic about how awful the movie- I MEAN, how the movie will turn out later." The teacher quickly corrected herself. That was the cue for everyone to take their seat as the lecture begin.
Lori was in the hallway, taking books out her locker. She had received an angry text messages from mom and dad and instantly deleted those texts. She knew she and her sisters were in hot water with their parents, heck Lincoln will probably-
"Those people picked her?"
"Yeah those judges must have low standards."
"Well you know SJW culture, award people of their gender and race instead of their talent. Why do you think they overlooked that snowball kid?" A brown haired senior student insulted.
Lori tried to ignore the comments as Angel and her two friends stared at her across the hallway and made harsh comments.
"Wouldn't be surprised, those people are frightened by even little boys' tiny masculinity."
"I feel so sorry for those Ace Savvy fans, their hero will probably be killed by the likes of Lori." Angel snickered.
The eldest daughter of the Louds clenched her teeth as they eventually passed her. Lori knew that Angel knew that she could hear them. She tried to lock her feelings in as the movie would improve her image and everyone at school would believe that she was talented like her siblings after all.
She saw Leni approaching but was shoved to the floor by a black haired teen with a red streak in her hair.
"Move it, bimbo!" That was the only acknowledgment the violent teen gave Leni.
"Oh hey, Claira!" The ditzy blond said happily as she got up and waved at Claira's back, not knowing the obvious disdain the other girl had for her.
Sometimes Lori worried for Leni, not everyone was patient with her lack of intelligence.
In the classroom, Sully and Mazzy slowly faced each other with a look of concern as Luna enthusiastically told them and Sam what happened at the convention.
"Wow, congratulations!" Sam cheered. If the blond and her girlfriend had paid attention they would have noticed that Sully and Mazzy did not share their friends ecstatic reaction to what they've been told.
Sully gave Mazzy a look who silently mouthed with her lips 'you do it'.
"Hey, Luna." Sully interrupted.
"Yeah?" Luna asked cheerfully.
"I was wondering, shouldn't Lincoln be brought on set as a consultant?" Sully asked.
Luna frowned. "Why would he need to become a consultant for the movie?"
"Well, its just that..." Sully looked nervous. "I think the creator of the Full House Gang should...point the director in the right direction. Since...you kno...the Full House Gang...are...still relatively...new characters."
"They didn't want him." Luna told him. Her three friends noticed the edge in her voice as she said it.
"Huh, that's kind of disappointing." Sam said with sadness in her voice. "Poor kid, must be devastated."
All three of them noticed Luna clenching her teeth a trait they knew all too well. Before any of them could address it another voice that they were all too familiar with spoke up.
"Oh not as much as those naïve directors chose you and sisters of hacks instead."
Luna groaned as she turned her head to see four teens, all in matching leather jackets with ripped jeans pants. Tessa, a girl with brown hair and a purple streak, Rick, a boy with a black hair with bangs that nearly covered his left eye, Ryker, a boy with shaved buzz cut, and Tilly, a girl with a green mohawk. The four were known as the Green Snakes.
"So the opportunist Luna is selected to be in the Ace Savvy movie." Tessa mocked.
"Aw, babe, you shouldn't tease her until the movie comes out...and flops!" Rick laughed.
Luna scowled and stood up. "Shut up! My movie is gonna be great!"
"Oh so you admit it then." Tilly smirked.
Luna eyes widen and bit her lip.
Sam had enough of the four mocking her girlfriend and stood up. "Why don't you get lost, those directors saw her and-"
"Directors like them don't see talent." scoffed Rick. "So sit your butt down, blondie!"
He roughly shoved Sam into her seat.
Luna was about to retaliate but Ryker, in his large form stood in front of her with his arms crossed and giving her a daring look
"Don't you snakes have some rodents to eat!" Mazzy fired back. She was really not in the mood to deal with the Green Snakes.
"I'd be surprised you could see rodents, considering that your ridiculous hair covers your eyes." Rick insulted.
"Hey, Luna, don't I recall you saying superheroes were dumb." Tilly said while putting on a thoughtful look.
"I wonder why that pacifist brother of yours isn't in the movie. Don't you want him to be in the movie?" Tessa asked with a sinister smirk.
"Probably just her being an attention seeker." Rick said, her grin growing larger. "You know how it is for people who aren't really talented ."
Luna has had enough. She stood up and left the classroom, not caring if shew would get in trouble or not. She heard the Green Snakes laughing after her but ignored it. She remembered how she had lost her temper and punched Tessa across the face, this lead to Tessa brutally beating her. Sam, Sully, and Mazzy tried to help, only to be beaten as well by Tessa's friends. The rocker regretted telling her siblings about it because they confronted Tessa and her band and it did not end well for her sisters. Even worst, they told everyone that Luna needed to be protected by her 'dumb sister'. Lincoln was told not to come by the others because he wanted to have a reasonable discussion with Tessa about why she shouldn't bully her.
She immediately pushed her thoughts about her only brother away.
Lynn wasted not time in bragging how the directors chose her for the movie. She was caught up in her excitement that she didn't seem to notice or care that the other kids weren't as stoked on her as she wished. Some, who were Ace Savvy fans, seemed concern when she told them what happened at the convention. She then saw Sapphire with her friends in a separate classroom, the one they liked to hang out before school starts.
Sapphire was committed to the a lot of different sports like Lynn and was the star player in each of them. Lynn could imagine the look of jealousy on the short blond haired teen's face and strode in, puffing her chest out.
The blond and her friends stopped talking and looked at the brunette who had a smug grin on her face with her eyes closed.
Sapphire groaned and said while rolling her eyes. "What, Nutjob?"
"You and your friends should know that several people are stoked on me right now." Lynn said proudly.
The group just stared at her then went back to their conversation.
"I'm telling you, Betsy Higgans is the best baseball player who ever lived."
"Nah, she doesn't hold a candle to Avers."
Lynn was dumbfounded by their actions and then got angry as she did not like being ignored. She marched up to blonde athlete and roughly grabbed her shoulder to force her to turn around and face her. Sapphire looked at where Lynn just told her with a dangerous look before turning to the brunette with a hostile look. Lynn ignored the blonde's look.
"Look here, Sappy!"
"Don't you fricking touch me!" Sapphire yelled as she brushed Lynn's arms off. The look they gave each other signaled they were going to trade blows.
The blond closed her eyes and inhaled, then opened her eyes to glare at Lynn with calmness.
"Guys, go ahead to class." Her friends did as they were told and left the two star-athletes alone, closing the door behind them. The athletic daughter of the Louds felt the tension in the room but brushed it off and smirked.
"Sapphy, guess what happened at that nerdy convention?" Lynn did not give Sapphire a chance to respond. "I impressed the judges so much and won a contest to be in Stether's movie where I'll become famous then you'll ever be in your mediocre life."
The brunette's smirk grew when Sapphire's eyes widen.
"Wow," the blond said in amazement. Lynn was about to brag some more until Sapphire burst out laughing.
"Stether must have inner core of low standards!"
The brunette was taken back by Sapphire's laughter and decided to knock a tooth out of her. No one laughs at Lynn Loud! Lynn was known for being reckless and not thinking things through and tended not to learn from some past errors. Her rash decisions were known for getting her and others victory and for ending terribly for her and others. But she didn't expect the blonde to grab her fist and let a little unease when Sapphire's smile was now gone and replaced with a hostile look again.
Before Lynn could react, pain exploded in her stomach as Sapphire raised her knee sharply. Then a series of blows were given to her and she was punched, kicked, and elbowed. Sapphire swung a kick, which made Lynn's head and body turn. She was then grabbed by the back of her shirt and was flung through the room. Lynn crashed through several desks like a bowling ball before she fell on her back.
Sapphire's attack were too much and Lynn was losing conscious. She saw movement as Sapphire walked up to her and stared her down.
"Same old Lynn, always believing in your own shallow hype."
Lynn tried to push herself up but was dealt with Sapphire slamming her foot on to her face.
Lucy and the Morticians Club were known for being monotone, but she still had a deep frown when only Rocky was the one who showed great enthusiasm when she announced she was the main character in the new Ace Savvy movie. All she got from the others were toneless, "Yay", "Hooray", "Good for you", "Nice".
"See, I told you there's plenty of magnificent things in you." Rocky praised, this allow a small smile to form on Lucy's face but it turned into her signature frown when Rocky's face turned to confusion. "Still, I wonder why Rusty said the convention stunk like cap poop yesterday. I thought he would be happy for Lincoln."
"Your normie brother could be jealous that another normie was selected instead." Boris suggested.
"I don't think so. Him being jealous is nothing new, he sounded more upset than the usual jealousy." Rocky said.
"Perhaps he had a bad run in with the K-." Silas stopped before hastily saying. "I-I mean...a certain hostile entity."
"Maybe those sad-lonely-souls who Lincoln fought with targeted him as well." Morpheus said, not looking up as he was paying more attention to the video on his phone which displayed Lincoln, in his Ace Savvy, suit fighting the Anti-Lincoln Group in silver suits.
"Lincoln is not in the movie." Lucy stated. This actually got a reaction out of both Haiku, Morpheus, and Silas.
"What?" Haiku's visible eye was widen, Silas' jaw dropped, and Morpheus dropped his phone with a stunned expression.
"The judges weren't impressed by him." Lucy said.
"Weren't impressed?! Why the heck...doesn't Lincoln...why did...are those..." Haiku calmed herself and put on her regular stoic expression "I see, well time for us to got to class."
Haiku headed to the door, yanking both Silas and Morpheus out with her. Lucy and the rest of the Morticians Club were confused by the co-leader's actions. They had never seen Haiku, Silas, or Morpheus react this way.
When the morning club meeting ended, Lucy and Rocky were on their way to class but found their path blocked by the Morticians Club's rival, the Grave Club. There was a time when the Morticians Club and the Grave Club use to be in a single club but then they split with one group called the Grave Club and the other the Morticians Club.
One thing members of the Morticians Club noticed when facing the Grave Club was that the Grave Club always outnumbered them. This made facing them a nightmare for any Morticians Club member.
The leader of the Grave Club walked forward. She was an 8 year old girl with a purple and black shirt with black pants. Her black hair reached over her left eye. She gave a cold look to Lucy and spoke in her monotone-voice similar to Lucy.
"Hey, Princess Pony Girl, I heard you're going to be in that new Ace Savvy movie. I don't think Ace Savvy fans will appreciate you turning Ace Savvy into a pink unicorn." Azra said in a monotone tone as her face split into a grin.
Her boyfriend, Sintho who also had black hair that spiked forward spoke up. "Yeah, maybe place a horn on Ace and have him perform a dance number."
Both Lucy and Rocky scowled at them.
"It seems the pony has gone rapid. Careful, she might an infect others with her disgraceful writing."
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha." The Grave Club devious smile did not match their monotone laughter.
Rocky has had enough and marched toward them.
"Why don't you, guys back off. She's way entuned with poems than you would ever-"
Sintho snapped his fingers. "Reaper, show the ginger Mortician his place."
The biggest and the bulkiest goth in school marched toward Rocky, each step he took made the floor shake. Reaper has black hair that covered his eyes and wore a purple shirt with black pants which had a white skull on the left.
Rocky looked fearful for a second but then dawned a determined expression as ran at Reaper. His punches were ineffective to big brute who grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and gave several punches to the redheaded goth. Rocky grunted with each punch before he was thrown to the floor. Reap continued his brutal assault on the third grader much to Lucy's horror.
She ran to intervene but Azra snapped her fingers. The Loud goth sister looked around as she was surrounded by members of the Grave Club. She tried to push past them to help Rocky but they didn't budge. One of the male goth member lunged at her, forcing her on to her knees before she was held up by him. She struggled and manage to kick one of the female goth members in the face but she couldn't get out of her attacker's grip. Azra smiled as she watched Lucy being dragged away while the barely conscious Rocky was thrown and locked in a locker.
Lincoln headed to the cafeteria late. His friends told him about the video that showed his fight with Boy Jordan and his gang. If they weren't angry with him now, they would be livid now. He would have avoided the cafeteria but he didn't pack a lunch and he had to get food somewhere. His stomach ignored the risks of the Anti-Lincoln Group's surprise attack. When Lincoln entered the cafeteria to get lunch, the cafeteria that was bolstering with loud noises seconds ago went quiet real fast. He became uncomfortable when they all stared at him.
"Becoming the Kitty's pooper scooper was only a dream! Just a dream!" Lincoln whispered to himself. The fact that no one was laughing at him made him feel a tiny bit better. He scanned the cafeteria and to his relief neither Boy Jordan nor his group were anywhere around. He saw Cristina stare at him for one second before abruptly leaving the cafeteria with her tray of food. Dejection fell on the only Loud son for a few seconds.
He got his tray of food and went to his friends' table and noticed them on their phones watching a video of his fight with the ALG. Lincoln remembered that he saw several people videotaping and groaned. Now the Anti-Lincoln Group would be even more angry. Papa Wheelie might not have class today but that just made Lincoln even more tense.
Paige without looking up from her phone said, "You can relax, Boy Jordan wasn't in class today."
"Come to think of it. Where'd ya reckon them looneys gone?" Liam asked.
"Hopefully, to different countries." Girl Jordan said smiling as the footage displayed Lincoln spraying sauce into Andrew's eyes and making him scream in pain.
"Nah, can't be that lucky." Lincoln said. He looked around for them, but only found everyone else still staring at him instead. When they saw him looking back, they went back to eating their food.
"You know Lincoln, we were all at the convention. You should have just asked for help we would have run there." Zach said.
"Yeah, convention was total crap anyway." Stella agreed.
"And I would love to beat them into the ground." Paige said smashing her fist with her palm.
Lincoln froze. The thought of asking for assistance did not cross his mind.
"Lincoln, you shouldn't be fending off those guys by yourself." Girl Jordan said. She sometimes feared that the Anti-Lincoln Group wanted to do more than just hurt him.
"Yeah, fighting them lunatics alone caint be good fer yer health." Liam said.
"Lincoln." Clyde said nervously. The African American boy wanted to ask this sooner but they were in class. "Did we make a mistake yesterday?"
"A mistake about what?" Lincoln asked. He knew Clyde couldn't be talking about kidnapping the Kitty since it didn't happen.
"You know about-"
Before Clyde continued, a tray had been slammed down on the seat opposite of Lincoln. He looked up and saw three kids, he knew all too well. One with shaved around the head with a black faux hawk. The second was an overweight boy with dark blond standing hair. The third was the redheaded, rich boy Lincoln
"Hey, Brad. Hey, Douglass." He said with a smile before frowning. "Chandler."
"Hi, everyone!" Brad said cheerfully before he was smacked on the back of his dead. "Ow! What was that for?!"
"Shut up!" Chandler shouted at the black haired preteen, making Brad flinch. "Listen Larry, we got a bone to pick with you!"
"Chandler, maybe I should-" Douglass tried to reason.
"Shut it, fatty!" Chandler snapped at him, before turning his heated gaze to Lincoln. "Why did you bail on the movie!?"
"I had no choice, the judges were more interested in my sisters. They only ignored me." Lincoln explained.
"Really?" Chandler asked, raising an eyebrow. "The Man with the Plan, notorious for outsmarting and convincing several people in Michigan, simply gave up after his sisters did only two things to impress the judges?"
Lincoln was reminded that several people recorded him convincing Clyde to not try to impress the judges any further. To him, he was simply trying to spare his and Clyde's reputations. To everyone else, it looked like he quickly got cold feet and let his sisters walk over to him to take the spotlight. His sisters, who have for several times mocked Ace Savvy.
Another voice spoke up. "Yes, Lincoln, tell us why your oh so gracious sisters are starring in the movie without you."
Lincoln growled as he immediately recognized that voice. A voice he had come to loathe since starting Kindergarten. The voice was someone he always competed with in every art contest, video game tournaments, Virtual Dimension challenges, fencing, paintball matches, martial arts (sport Lincoln bothered to willingly participate in), conventions, and go kart racing. He turned around to see a boy with blond hair and a white beanie on his head. The blond boy was giving him a devious smirk. Lincoln scowled at him.
His rival, the Master Planner.
Conner Pingrey.
"Well we're waiting, Linc." Conner said with a daring smirk.
He was accompanied by his two friends: one was a mulatto boy with short black and the other was a brown haired girl with a purple beret. They were known as Mark and Chloe. They're looks wasn't as devious compared to Conner's or irate like Chandler's but they stared at Lincoln, waiting for his answer. A sweat rolled down Lincoln's forehead as the entire cafeteria stared at him, all wanting to know why the Man with the Plan gave up too soon. He needed to think of something fast! He couldn't tell them the real reason.
"W-well, why didn't you try to impress the judges yourself?" Lincoln asked back. "Your whole family love Ace Savvy, why didn't any of them try."
"We tried!" Conner raised his voice with an annoyed scowled. "They said that we were all too 'Acey'."
The whole cafeteria murmured with several saying they had similar experiences.
"You know, I asked those stupid judges what they were looking for." Chloe said, scowling. "They said that they were only looking for people like your sisters, the perfect role models."
Most kids in the cafeteria scoffed. 'Perfect' was not a word that described anyone in the Loud family. They were known for causing destruction and mayhem in many areas.
Mark with an identical scowl took out his tablet and wrote, 'Why were they even at convention anyway?'
"Well, um," Lincoln nervously rubbed the back of his head.
All of Lincoln's group shared concerned look. Girl Jordan quickly stood up and answered.
"They probably caught wind of the cameo role and came in themselves."
She and the rest of Lincoln's friends knew there was a high chance that Lincoln might get blamed for how the movie might turn out. Clyde could take part of the blame too, as it was his idea to bring Lincoln's sister along too, but he could technically point the finger at Lincoln to take all the blame and most would believe it.
Chloe rolled her eyes, "Bet they're all cheering since their cameo roles turned out to be the star of the movie."
Conner nodded and said, "Probably would have tried screaming at the directors to make them the bigger stars if they were only getting cameos like they said."
Mark nodded.
Brad was confused by this, "Wouldn't they have to be up in the sky if they were to become stars?"
THWACK!
"Ow!" Brad whined as Chandler slapped the back of his head.
Conner ignored the black haired preteen's stupid question and glared at Lincoln who silently glared back. The blond was one of the few that voiced to Lincoln that including his sisters in Ace Savvy would lead to a disaster when he created the Full House Gang. He knew their reputation, he knew the destruction they were capable of, he knew how the Loud parents could be ignored by their children.
When Lucy regained consciousness, she found herself on the bathroom floor with her head still soaked and pain in her stomach. She coughed a bit before shakily standing up. She didn't want to go to her classroom, knowing Azra would be there but knew she would get in trouble if she skipped class again. The goth Loud knew her parents were already upset with her and her sisters.
She ultimately decided to skip class and hide in the Morticians Club room. She waited in there for hours, reading her Princess Pony book. Its true that this book had caused her a lot of trouble once her family found out about it. Her sisters mocked her relentlessly and her parents screamed at her for lying to them for throwing her brother under the bus, despite Lincoln volunteering. It got worst when the entire town found out. She had never been well-respected in school, but when everyone found out she read Princess Pony her reputation went down significantly. But despite all of the pain she went through, she couldn't drop Princess Pony.
She heard her stomach growl and decided to go to the cafeteria to get food. She of course, had to evade the hall monitors. She learned the hard way, not to let them spot her. Although, this meant she had to take the long way to the cafeteria. She knew her class had already passed lunch time but maybe the lunch lady wouldn't care.
When she got to the cafeteria, she quickly noticed that everyone was staring at Lincoln who was being interrogated about the convention. The goth Loud quickly closed the door to the cafeteria, running as fast as she could.
She saw Haiku, Morpheus, and Silas down the hall. They looked to be in some kind of argument which resulted in Haiku and Morpheus engaging in a rock, paper, scissors game. Haiku came up with paper and Morpheus came with rock. Haiku smirked as the disgruntled Morpheus walked. All three froze when they saw Lucy. Morpheus bit his lip and took a deep breath.
"Um Lucy, about the-"
They all heard footsteps coming from the cafeteria, signaling that lunch time for the fifth graders has ended. Lucy quickly ran passed her three friends. The three goths tried to follow her but soon got swept up by the crowd of fifth graders who pushed and shoved them. Fortunately, they didn't get trampled but it was difficult to move.
When the crowd of kids passed through, Lucy was gone.
The response Luan received when she told everyone she was starring in the new Ace Savvy movie was not what she was expecting or hoping for. Benny of course was impressed, but he was the only one to applaud her but some of her friends were confused on why she would want to be in an Ace Savvy movie if she didn't care about it and her other friends kept asking about her brother. Kyle of course had laughed at her and told her that something must have been wrong with the judges and that no sane person would ever hire anyone in her family.
She got a text from Lucy that read, 'We all need to talk, go to a vacant bathroom'
Luan raised her hand to be excused and entered the bathroom in the lower level, the one people rarely entered. She was soon joined by Luna and Lori, who lead Leni as she had terrible directions and tended to get lost.
After Lynn regained conscious, she had been screamed at by Mr. Bolhofner for missing class. Unfazed, Lynn told him about her starring in a movie. Of course, the stern teacher was unimpressed and that angered Lynn no she yelled at him. As punishment, the math teacher gave her and her friends extra, HARD homework. She managed to run out before the whole mob of angry students got to her.
The incident with Mr. Bolhofner made her aware how the kids in school had truly reacted to her. Students did not mock her but they did not congratulate her either. Margo and Paula were confused on why she was so happy because she always mocked Ace Savvy. During lunch time, the wimps at the table kept staring at her and their stares were not out of admiration. When Cici and Byron had alarmed looks on their faces as they talked. Lynn couldn't hear what they said exactly but she heard the words "Ace Savvy", "Stether", and "Lincoln". When she got near them the two stopped talking and gave her nervous grins, before continuing when she gave them distance. Francisco didn't even approach her. She was really hoping her role would convince him to reconsider her thoughts on her and her family. He could have still been friends with her if that pampered Lola didn't interfere!
She received a text from Lucy and did what she said.
"Girls, we cannot keep this a up." Lori said in a in a three way phone call through Lynn and Lucy's phone. They were all in agreement, they needed to come up with another plan.
"Mom and dad keep trying to contact us and leave us angry messages." Luna said.
"There was also a matter we neglected to think about. None of us know Lincoln's schedule when he's off from school." Lori informed.
They always thought that Lincoln was off from school he would hanged out with his friends, went to the arcade, read underwear in his comics, play video games, or draw. But sometimes he just says he's going 'out' and left before anyone could say anything.
They all use to pity Lincoln because they thought he didn't have his talent yet. But that was before they saw his drawings, before they thought Lincoln's couldn't defend himself, before they thought Lincoln only had one trophy -though it was gone now-, before they looked up his name online, before they realized his title of the 'Man with the Plan'.
"We don't know how much time he prepares for his events, or how long the event itself takes place."
"Everyone keeps talking about Lincoln! Lincoln! Lincoln! LINCOLN!" Lola butted in, she was clearly upset with the non-supportive reception, except for her prince, Winston.
Lana scowled as during lunch time when she was eating in the garbage dump this one girl in her class had asked her if she would like to switch out her movie role with her brother and tried to bribe her with a muffin full of worms. Granted, Lana was tempted to but the thought of someone trying to bribe her out did not sit well with her.
"By my calculations, the only way to achieve our goal is to avoid the house." Lisa said as she read through her notes.
"WHAT?!" Most of the sisters screamed.
"What are we suppose to do sleep outside?!" Luna asked.
"Oh, I know." Leni said happily. "How about we ask Lincoln for help?"
Everyone just stared at her.
"The most logical solution is to store ourselves away in a secluded area underground and go into hyper-sleep, until-."
"PASS!" the other sisters said. Lisa scowled as her sibling unit, yet again, refuse to acknowledge her genius ideas.
"Whatever we do, we need to make sure it doesn't anger Linc any further." Lynn stated.
"Yeah, no kidding." Luan agreed, "Lincoln is pretty vengeful. I mean we're all vengeful but Lincoln hits back 10 times hard. Remember the time when we all pranked him when Lincoln first used those Noise-B-Gone phones."
Lori was covering her head as her hair had been shaved off with little blond streaks remaining. Leni was unconscious due to the mirror Lincoln showed her. She found that she looked horrible with shrunken clothes on. Luna was pitch back with her hair pointing upward as she occasionally sparked with electricity. Lynn lost a tooth, had her nose broken with a black eye and has her left leg in a cast. Lucy's hair had been died blond and she was in nothing but pink. Lana was curled up in a fetal position as she shook back and forth as she was shiningly clean. A barely conscious Lola was covered in different colors of paint.
The memory made them all shiver except for Lisa who was spared because she wasn't in on the plan. However, she did remember other times where she faced Lincoln's wrath. One where she got the worst of it was after nearly ruining his social life when she skipped to 5th grade and went to Lincoln's class.
"We'll get grounded for a couple of weeks and invoke Lincoln's wrath but we'll still be famous." Lucy said.
Lynn rolled her eyes. "Guys, this is simple. Each of us should just need to ask a friend if we could all stay over for a few months."
"Lynn, that's a terrible idea." Lori deadpanned.
Luan got an idea. "How about we stay at a cheap motel with Lola's money."
"NO WAY!" Lola screamed in anger and making Lucy wince at the volume. "The closest motel is a 2-star motel, I refuse to stay in anything less than a 5-stars!"
"Sis, quit being a screeching ostrich and think about our chance to become movie stars!" Luna said, irritated with Lola's loud voice.
Lucy remembered how the people at Stether appeared to love them so much while ignoring the everyone else at the convention and got an idea.
"Guys, what if we just go there early. All we have to do is take Vanzilla, get Lily, go to that professional mechanic dad talked about, then once that's finished, we go home pack all our things and head to Stether. They were very fond of us, so they might make reservations for us. Our parents should still be at work and Lincoln should still be in school by the time we're done." The goth sister smiled as her sisters were immediately on board with the idea. Though she did notice Lana's dispirited look when she mention the professional mechanic.
"Alright, I'll get Vanzilla. Everyone get out in front of their school and wait for me to pick them up." Lori ordered. With that, she ended the call along with Lynn.
"Oh, I cant wait to see the look on Lindsey's face when she sees me in the movie." Lola said with a grin.
Lucy paid her no mind, as she put her phone away with a smile. It started out bumpy and she knew there will soon be repercussions but this may all work out for her.
They all exited the bathroom but unknown to any of them, the vent to the vacant girl's bathroom opened and a figure climbed out.
Lori was relieved the repair people did not ask questions and was pleasantly surprised on how good the mechanic did. Dad was not kidding when he said he was taking Vanzilla to a professional. She had to held Lana from interfering as she and the rest thought it was best to let the professional due his job without interference.
When they got home, they all started packing their things. But they ran into another problem, none of them had included Lily into their plan. At first, Lily was confused on why she was picked up early and then she got fussy when it became clear that she would be separate from her brother for a long time. She kept hurling diapers, throwing random objects, and even bit her sisters. But then she calmed down once Lucy had a very serious conversation with her in her room. The others didn't know what Lucy said but it got Lily on board.
"Lana, what are you doin!? Leave the animals here!" Lola screeched as she dragged a large amount of bags.
"No! They're my friends and I include them in everything!" Lana said stubbornly as she hugged Charles, Cliff, Geo, Walt, El Diablo, Bitey and all the animals that resided in the house.
"Yo, Luan! I don't think we should bring your props." Luna said as she carried her luggage, which included her guitar.
"These are necessary for the movie as comedies are what drives movies. Besides everyone loves my sense of humor." Luan said.
"Not really." Lynn muttered. Luan heard her and glared at her with a scowl.
Lori had noticed that all her sisters have loaded things she felt were unnecessary as Vanzilla was nearly filled with Luna's musical equipment, Luan's comedy props, Lynn's sports equipment, Lucy's coffin, Lana's pets, many of Lola's dresses and stuffed toys, and Lisa's science equipment. Lori wanted to tell her sisters that they should leave some stuff behind but knew they would all whine to her. She didn't feel like arguing with them right now and thought they needed to get go incase their brother or parents arrived early. With a loud groans she said. "Alright, everyone get in."
Lucy watched as her sister's went into Vanzilla one by one before saying, "I forgot something." She then went back into the house, up the stairs, and into Lisa's room. She checked the cabinets, the drawers, the closet, Lisa's stripped her room clean of all the science equipment.
Where was it? She then saw the safe under Lisa's desk. She bent down and plugged in Lisa's birthday. The safe opened to reveal exactly what Lisa was looking for.
Lisa's N-Feeding Bottles.
The loud noise of Vanzilla's honking made Lucy cringe, along with Lola's annoying yelling.
"LUCY, GET YOUR BUTT IN VANZILLA RIGHT NOW!"
You couldn't see it, but Lucy rolled her eyes from under her hair and placed each bottle in her bag. She then ran out of Lisa's room and into Vanzilla. She took the passenger seat.
"Alright girls, lets go and become movie stars!" Lori said happily. The rest of them, except except for the goth one screamed with joy. "EEEEEEEEEEE!"
But then Leni stopped squealing and asked, "Wait, wouldn't we be up in the sky if we were stars?" Everyone ignored her and continued to cheer.
Lucy just had a small smile as they drove, she couldn't wait to get to Stether. Once the movie came out, she would no longer be the Princess Pony Girl and people will finally start respecting her.
The bell rung which signaling the end of the day for elementary school. While some students left to school and went on the bus, got picked up by parents, or simply walked home, others like Lincoln's group stayed in to attend clubs. Clyde and Liam were in the Cooking Club, Rusty and Stella were in the Dancing Club, Zach is the president of the Conspiracy Club, Paige is in the Karate Club, Girl Jordan is in the Cheerleading Club, and Lincoln is in the Art Club.
"Alright, see you guys." Lincoln said as he departed with his friends. They all said there farewells as they went to their clubs.
When he entered the art room, he was the first one in besides Ms. Patterson.
"Hello, Lincoln." the art teacher greeted.
"Hey, Ms. Patterson."
Eventually the other members came in: Caleb, Colin, Kat, Simon, Brownie, Brad, Scotty, and Connerrr. Ms. Patterson informed the class that they were allowed to paint anything they want. Though she stressed, specifically to Conner, that the paintings must be school appropriate. The only sounds in the room were of paint being brushed and Brad happily humming as he painted. While Lincoln painted, his mind drifted off about the convention yesterday and about his sisters. He hasn't spoken to them, since departing from them at the convention. Just thinking about them made Lincoln tighten his grip on the brush, but he didn't dare ruin the painting. He would never damage artwork and his sisters were not a priority right now.
"Hey, Lincoln!"
Lincoln jumped and turned around to see Colin's excited grin.
"Simon's watching Kaiju Brawls on his phone, wanna go watch it? It's Gaira against Titanosaurus!" The redhead said excitedly.
Lincoln looked to see Sam's chubby little brother on his phone with Brownie, Scotty, and Caleb next to him watching and cheering the fight. Lincoln looked at the clock, he kept missing the 15 minute break for Art Club. He saw Conner's painting of older and sadistic-looking Full House Gang cruelly pushing a horrified, child-like Ace Savvy off a rooftop. He was reminded that they all presented their artwork at the end and felt a little uneasy.
"Sorry, Colin. But I got to finish this up." Lincoln told him,
"Okay!" Colin said unfazed. "I'll let you know how it ends!"
Lincoln waited for his back to turn before placing an empty board on top and painted. It was a simpler one so he was able to finish it before break ended.
When it was his turn to present his painting, he showed the painting to the club. It was a painting of the Shadow Man.
Shadow Man was a popular Ace Savvy villain. Skin was pitch black, eyes were golden yellow, with sharp fangs, he wore an equally pitch black tuxedo, and a top hat on his head. He had the ability to sink into the shadows and create sharp objects out of shadows. Lately, the Kitty was added and became his henchman which everyone found ridiculous because the Kitty was just a regular cat with no special abilities that would realistically give Ace Savvy a hard time. The members of the club immediately recognized the way Lincoln painted the Shadow Man was different: he instead wore a fedora that covered his eyes and his trademark grin was replaced by a cruel smirk. The painting depicted him impaling nine figures that surrounded him with his shadow blades. The figures had no faces but there body language showed that they were in pain.
"Very good, Lincoln." Ms. Patterson congratulated. The members of the Art Club were impressed as well by the Shadow Man's new design.
"Hey, Lincoln, if you make another Ace Savvy comic, could you use this design for the Shadow Man?" Simon asked, excitedly.
"Of course, Shadow Man is one of my favorite Ace Savvy villains." Lincoln said.
"Meh, I would have added more blood." Conner stated.
Colin frowned in a confusion. The painting was good and the Shadow Man looked cool, but he wondered why Lincoln lied to Ms. Patterson. The painting of the Shadow Man wasn't what Lincoln was working on earlier, the one Colin saw took place in a city.
When everyone packed their things and left, Colin stayed behind. He was overcome by the curiosity about the painting Lincoln didn't present. He lifted the sheet and saw the painting.
It was a painting of Ace Savvy, but it looked different. The city looked futuristic with flying cars, large glowing buildings, and floating neon signs. Ace Savvy looked just like Lincoln but his white hair spiked forward. The suit was black and red and was missing the blue cape Ace was known to have. The 'A' was black the Ace was red, the symbol was on the right side of Ace's upper body. The biggest highlight of the painting was that kid Ace Savvy was being chased by a rampaging Godzilla, who's dorsal plates were glowing blue and was reaching an arm out, palm opened wide to catch Ace Savvy.
Colin was in awe at the painting.
Criticism is appreciated but please no flames.
