AN: It seems like things are finally going my way for a change. I'm finally out of this petty drama that I was in just a week or 2 ago, Justice is being served for XXXTENTANCION, I got my dream gaming center set up and I called it the C.G.C, the Central Gaming Center. And more importantly, I'm getting my rhythm back in both drawing and fanfiction writing. Now I know I took a little bit of a break so I can get back to business, but now I'm back to put out a banger. Enjoy.
And for those complaining about a typo I made in chapter 1 regarding Luan saying dude, I changed it to Luna after investigating. Your welcome.

DISCLAIMER- I do not own any of the loud house! (duh)
That was a pretty strong talk that Luna had with Luan in the middle of the night. But there wasn't any other way to talk to Luan. She knows she messed up big time and she is realizing her mistake. And it's the one thing about big sisters, sometimes they just can't explain how to talk and comfort their younger siblings, they just know how. Maybe it's because they are older and have more experience than the younger one, maybe it's because they love them. And it's most likely both of those reasons.
And it is always helpful to have someone supportive and try to help you instead of trying to run you into the ground based off what you've done like some people. You see, berating someone and pestering someone based on a mistake you made, no matter if it's small, or big, is not going to help anything. In fact it's only going to make it worse the more and more you do it. So Luna was right for going up to comfort Luan and tell her about Lincoln's condition even though she really wasn't up for listening to advice at the moment.
Now considering everything that has happened so far, life still goes on, and you have to push through it. The morning finally rolls around for the new day that everyone has to start. And that fact that her day started off crappy as it is getting up for school without Lincoln, but on top of that, it seemed like her sisters didn't want anything to do with her when looking at her from the bathroom line. And even a couple of her younger ones purposely cut her in the bathroom line, quoting that they had a "saved spot in line". She really didn't pay it know mind though considering she didn't want to cause anymore trouble as it is.
Needless to say, breakfast wasn't any better since no one except Luna sat next to her. All she knew was that it's going to be one of those days. After the Loud children finished their breakfast, they grabbed their bags and they all got in the van and was on their way off. Needless to say nearly all of her younger siblings were eyeballing her, almost as if they were planning to jump her in the van and dish out everything that she inadvertently gave to their brother. But they weren't going to do that. Considering they didn't want Lori to crash the van and put all of them in the same hospital with Lincoln. But they were still upset over Lincoln being hurt.
"I hope you're proud of yourself Ms.I-can't-help-but-prank-my-family-every-april-fools." Lola said directing her eyes out of the van window.
This caught Luan's attention and she already knew where this is going…
"Yeah I mean how many times did we have to argue with you?" Lana started "How many times did we had to ask you, to tone down on the pranks before someone gets hurt? But noooo you wouldn't listen."
Luan was really feeling the hot water right now. And they were right, they did tell her to calm down when it comes down to pranks on April Fool's, but she wouldn't listen to good advice.
"I didn't mean for Lincoln to go to the hospital, honest! I really didn't…" Luan didn't even want to finish her sentence because she knew if she did, she would possibly cry on the car.
"I don't mean to throw this in your face older sibling, but the probability of one of your foolish going south is about 70% percent without the proper consideration for possible outcomes."
Luan could only whimper like a injured dog at her statement. Luna could only stay silent at the first couple of comments, but Luna obviously knew where this was going. It's going to turn into a "torture Luan because of an unintended mistake fest". And the last thing she wanted was to let them make Luan cry before she went to school.
"Come on dudes, that's enough, she feels sorry for what she did, and it's time to stop." Luna stood up for her sister.
Everyone in the van turned their attention to Luna now. Would they take her advice and back off? If you're thinking yes you're sadly mistaken.
"You're seriously defending her?!" Lynn said coming from the row behind them. "She put Lincoln in the hospital! Don't you think we should let her know how bad she messed up?"
Luna turned around to look at her athlete of a sister. "First of all I'm not defending her. I don't agree with what she did putting our bro in the hospital. I'm just not on her case about it like you all have." She stopped, and before Lynn could say another word, Luna opened her mouth to speak again. "And second of all, she feels guilty for what she did, and getting all over her is not going to help anything!" She finished.
"So what are we supposed to do to get our point across to Luan if we're not supposed to say she messed up?" The princess asked the rocker.
"How about instead of bashing her, try to talk to her. She already got the point across last night and this morning! Enough is enough!"
"As much as the truth hurts, Luna's got a point. Yelling at her is not going to help her." The 17 year old that was driving the van. "We all miss Lincoln, but yelling and insulting her is not going to make Lincoln recover faster."
The other Loud sisters felt conflicted. Lori and Luna does have a point. Yes Luan did make a mistake about not thinking of the possible outcomes that could have happened when she goes on her pranking sprees, but she has already learned her lesson. And on top of it, her parents had already chewed her out for it, AND punished her. This was just too much to take in right now. Lori just continued to drop everyone off at school. No else said another word.
While the louds have to figure out what they have to do with Luan, not too far away at the hospital, a injured Lincoln was awakening. The boy woke up like he remembered like he was going to school that day. But when he woke up he remembered that he was still confined to the bed with major injuries. The boy pouted as he remembered what happened to cause said injuries. He didn't want to think about it right now considering he needed something on his stomach before he got more irate.
Thanks to the little clicker that was provided for all patients incase they needed something. In this case it was beginning to be breakfast time for all patients. He requested for a nurse to bring him some cereal and some orange juice. The nurse came back minutes later providing his nutritious breakfast.
At least the good thing is about being in the hospital by yourself (especially in Lincoln's case) you get the remote all to yourself and don't have to share with ANYBODY. Now being only a little past 7 am, there really wasn't much on for the following reasons. One,Hospitals don't have cable TV like most households in the 21st century, and two, being 7 in the morning, the channel that shows cartoons is only showing "Blarney", and it will be a 3 maybe 4 hours at the most before they show the shows he likes. So for now the 11 year old was left watching the news, and watching reruns of "ARGGH!".
The more and more he was in that bed watching boring tv, the more irritated he got. Then it dawned upon Lincoln that made his heart skip a beat. He doesn't have his cell phone to watch EyeTube videos. Besides that, no comic books, video games, or his laptop, he has no other means of entertainment other than the boring TV that was in front of him. And let's not discuss the fact that he also has to make up the work that he was going to miss over the next couple weeks for school. The preteen could only grunt while sitting up looking at the screen a couple feet away from him.
Meanwhile, back towards Royal Woods Elementary, Clyde was walking by himself to school. The glasses kid normally walks with Lincoln on Tuesdays. He waited outside his house for a little bit longer just in case Lincoln was running a little late. But he never really came. He tried texting him to see if he was going to school. Texting the words "Hey Linc, r u otw?". No response. And as the more time tick away, he realized he needs to get to school and just figured that Lincoln got a ride and just forgot to tell him.
When he arrived to school, The African American child went straight to 's class. He met up with the guys, and he asked the group if they seen Lincoln at all on the way to school.
"No I haven't seen him. You think he overslept or something?" Zach speculated.
"That could be a possibility…" Clyde said as he tapped his chin.
"Well I didn't see Lincoln, but I did see a few rabbits running 'round not too far from the school." Liam pointed out.
"That is something out of the ordinary...but still doesn't help." Clyde said
"I mean he can't be sick considering we saw him and hung out with him yesterday and he was perfectly fine." Rusty pointed.
"Yeah that is true...Let's just see if he'll come in late. We're probably overthinking this." Clyde said turning back in his seat waiting for class to start.
As the bell rang to indicate to those who have no sense in what time it is, or just can't read a clock to save their lives, still no signs of Lincoln. More and more time goes by with no Lincoln walking through the door late to school. At this point, Clyde gre a little bit more than mildly concerned. It wasn't like Lincoln to show up to school late, considering since this was the week where they learn new material for this week's test.
Most of the day went by, and the guys overall vibe almost completely changed because their main man was there with them. Gym class and lunch definitely was not the greatest without Lincoln either. As their gym teacher made everyone play dodgeball again. And to say the least, it did not go well in their favor, at all. Lunch really wasn't any better considering they were serving salisbury steak and mashed potatoes for lunch, which tasted like someone kept the steaks in a old, smelly boot and cooked it with old sauce they found lying around somewhere. And the mashed potatoes tasted just as bad as the steak.
"Yeah...I'm not eating this." Rusty pushed his food back after staring at it for sometime.
"Same here, I've eaten better things back on the farm that doesn't smell this bad." Liam said in his country accent.
"We need to do something about the lunches at this school. This is just disgusting." Clyde said opening up his carton of milk.
And before they could see it, Ronnie Anne came walking over to their table with her trey of food. "The lunch here seems to get worse and worse." Ronnie Anne complained as she sat down in one of the empty seats between Liam and Rusty, across from Clyde. "Have any of you guys seen Lincoln today? We had plans to hang out after school but he never returned my texts."
"Nope, we haven't seen Lincoln at all this morning." Clyde responded and Ronnie Anne was about to ask another question before Clyde cut her off. "And before you ask, yes I did contact him but didn't return MY texts either." Making Ronnie Anne only to shut her mouth.
Liam just got an idea to know about Lincoln's whereabouts. "Didn't you say you tried to get in contact with Lincoln this morning?" Liam asked.
"Yeah I texted him, this morning before getting to school, but he never texted me back." Clyde said looking at his phone.
"Well if we can't contact Lincoln, why don't we just ask one of Lincoln's sisters to ask where what's the deal with him." Liam suggested.
"That's a good idea. Maybe if we catch one of them before they leave after school." Ronnie Anne said accidently taking a sniff of the food that was in front of her, making her face turn a little green. "Oh no...excuse me for sec." Everyone at the turned to see her get up and run towards the cafeteria doors to go to the bathroom, to obviously vomit.
"Can the school counselor help change up the school lunch?" Zach asked the group.
As the 3:00 bell rang indicating it was the end of another day, Clyde, the guys, decided to hang out at the front of the school to hopefully find at least one of the five Loud sisters that go to their school. As the longer they waited, all hope seemed to be lost.
"You see at least ONE of them?" Ronnie Anne asked them looking around.
"Nothing." Clyde said looking around.
"Ugh you think that they would be eager to get out of scho-" Ronnie Anne stopped to see a certain athlete that's related to Lincoln. "Wait a minute, isn't that Lynn over there?" Making everyone turn to there right and look down the street from the school entrance.
"Yeah that it is Lynn!" Clyde said squinting his eyes to be sure.
"Then let's catch up to her before we lose her!" Ronnie Anne picked up her bag before she jogged down the street. The rest of the boys following her a couple seconds later.
Lynn LOOKED like she had a bad day. For starters, she got a D+ on her math test because she lacked the sleep she got from the previous night due to Lincoln's hospital visit. Then in gym class, some boys thought it was a good idea to mock her skills while playing dodgeball, causing her to hit all of them in the face with the rubber balls provided, putting a major bruise on one of the three. And of course the lunch was just terrible. And it doesn't help that her brother is in the hospital.
"Thank god school is over. Now I can go blow off steam with Polly at the gym." She muttered as she carried her gym bag with her school bag.
As she kept walking down the street, she heard a voice calling her name repeatedly from a distance. She stopped her tracks to turn around to see Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Liam, Rusty, and Zach trying to catch up with her. Which they finally do considering it was quite some distance between them and her.
"Thank goodness we caught up to you…" Clyde said with his hands on his knees trying, to catch his breath.
"Hey Clyde…" Lynn said in a more unusual tone.
"We came to ask where's Lincoln at. We didn't see him at school today. Is he doing okay?" Clyde asked her.
Lynn knew this question was going to come sooner or later. "Lincoln's not doing so good." She replied back.
Everyone started to get a little worried. The words "not so good" can mean a lot of things. And they just didn't know the whole story on why he's not doing so good.
"What do you mean he's not doing okay?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"...He's in the hospital…" She simply replied back to Ronnie Anne's question.
Everyone's eyes widened at what she just said. "What do you mean he's in the hospital?! What happened to him?!" Clyde eagerly asked her.
"It's a long story, let me explain."
Okay not so much of a long story, Lynn told all of them that one of Luan's pranks backfired on April Fool's late last night, and Lincoln got several major and minor injuries that caused him to get sent to the hospital. She also added in the fact that he won't be coming to school for at least 2 weeks if he makes a successful recovery. And all the people that was in front of her that could say as they processed this information was…
"WHAT!?"
AN: Okay finally got this chapter done. I know it's been a while, I just been working on other projects, and I've been straight lazy to finish the chapter when I wanted to. But thankfully I sat at my desk for 3 hours to finish the rest of the chapter since I wasn't doing anything.
Also quick story time: The nasty lunch scene was inspired off my past experiences at my old elementary/middle school that I went to that had some of the nastiest salisbury steaks I ever tasted and smelled in my life. First of all, that school didn't even actually cook the food in the kitchen, they get shipments of lunches, and they heat them up in the oven they had. Now some of the lunches like their mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and french fries were good. Everything else tasted like it's been up somebody's boot pipe and then reheated.
But back to the story, Luna actually had the guts to stand up for her sister even though she messed up big time. And it looks like Ronnie Anne and the guys actually found out what happened to their friend, and they did not like what they heard. The truth hurts, and not a lot of people can handle the truth. We'll pick back up with them and their conversation in the next chapter. See you guys relatively soon.
