AN: Yeah Yeah I know it's been more than a month about to be two months since the last update on this story. But I'm pretty sure if you're close to age 17, you're going back to school very soon, if not already in school. Now add that in with the fact that it's senior year and we're ALREADY bombarded with work. Not to mention me trying to juggle my art work on Fur Affinity and Deviantart as well as making youtube videos.

With school going back up and running at my new school, I can already tell that this is going to be a looooong year. Plus knowing TWO locker combos, walking in between classes a humongous school in a five minute window, catching the bus to and from school, on top of being new, I can probably use another break as soon as possible. And now the fact that the grading system is now easier than my other school, I shouldn't have any issues.

Now with that out of the way, let's get back to the conversation that Lynn was having with Lincoln's friends.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Loud House.

The last time we left off, we saw Ronnie Anne, Clyde and the gang in utter confusion as to why their favorite snow haired boy is wasn't at school that day. They figured that Lincoln was late to school or something, but in reality, he was sent to the hospital after a horrifying April Fool's prank went totally south. And since it happened in the middle of the night, doubts would have it that anyone but the Louds were asleep during that time.

Since they all didn't know about his whereabouts, they had to find someone who did. And who else better to ask than his sisters? (Considering that half of them go to the same school as him). After school was finished and everything, they went to go find at least one of them before they had left to try and find out where in tarnation is Lincoln. Thankfully they did. Lucky for them, they found Lynn walking to the gym not too far away from the school they all went too to go meet up with Polly Pain. Once they caught up to her, they asked her where Lincoln was, and she simply told them that Lincoln was hospitalized in the middle of the night because of Luan's backfire pranks. To them, all they could say was…

"WHAT!?"

The rest his history.

Lynn flinched a little bit at all of their sudden responses. She expected them to be surprised, but surprised was the biggest understatement.

"Is he going to live?!"

"Well-" Lynn started

"He better live!" Ronnie Anne growled.

"You guys, let me ex-"

"What kind of sick person does that to their brother just for a laugh?! Someone like that needs to be put in a mental hospital!" Rusty came out and said.

Lynn was now getting frustrated with the constant annoying questions and responses. She didn't quite tell them exactly about his condition. But because they are to wrapped up in their emotions, she can't properly tell them.

"Will you guys shut up and let me speak!?" She yelled feeling her temper rise up. After a few seconds of satisfied silence, she can continue with explaining the situation more thoroughly. "Like I was saying before...Lincoln is in the hospital, ALIVE. But his injuries are pretty severe. That's why he won't be in school for a little bit." Lynn explained more.

"How bad are Lincoln's injuries?" Clyde asked.

Lynn sighed. "He has a broken arm, major concussion, a fractured shoulder, and I think a couple broken ribs. There was so much injuries I can't even name them all." She finished noticing all of their facial expressions after hearing the list of injuries their friend had received. "Yeah...it's that bad."

"Do you think we can go see him?" Ronnie Anne asked the sports athlete.

"With all the punishment he took last night...he would love that. He's at Royal Woods Hospital. His room number is 356."

"Thanks Lynn. We'll tell him that you sent us." Clyde replied to Lynn.

"You're welcome." She said starting to walk away but stopped and turned at them one more time. "Also, can you tell him I said to get well soon? I don't even think he has his phone with him for me to tell him myself."

"We got you covered." Ronnie Anne said.

Lynn slightly smiled before finally heading off down the street to go to the gym. No doubt people would notice Lincoln's absence, but not this fast. Lynn was just lucky that his whole 5th grade class didn't know about his absence and was coming to ask questions. But thankfully it didn't get to that point. All Lynn thought about, was the pain that Lincoln and her family had been through from Luan's fucking pranks.

Who cares if it was April Fool's? That doesn't mean you go straight psycho on your family just for a simple laugh. It's supposed to be a fun holiday for everyone, not just Luan. And that infuriated her more. Sooner or later someone was going to get hurt because of her and because of herself, her sisters', and their parent's piss poor judgement, one of their loved one's is in the hospital. Hell he could have died in their own house. To Lynn, this can't just go unanswered. She will avenge her brother if it's the last thing she'll ever do.

Luan's time was coming, but for now, it was just her and her thoughts as she walked the gym.


Meanwhile across town at the dental office, Lynn Sr. was on his way to pick up his wife from work. Shoot you would think by now they would invest in a second vehicle, but there would already be a couple flaws with that. One being the fact that they have bills to pay, and 11 mouths to feed. And two, it would lead to more fights and arguments about seating, and not to mention who gets to drive the car when and where. So for now they are stuck with vanzilla.

Lynn Sr pulled up to the front of the building to see Rita waiting for her ride. He honked the horn to signal her that he has arrived. Rita saw him and hopped in the front seat to go pick up their other children.

"Hey Lynn." Rita said as she got in the passenger seat. Her husband only giving a simple "hey" when she got in the vehicle. Obviously she could tell something's wrong when she got a response. "So how was your day?" She then asked as he was pulling out of the building's parking lot.

"...do you really want to know?" He said with some depression in his voice.

"Is it about Lincoln?" She asked.

"Of course it's about Lincoln. I've been thinking about it all day today." He said while concentrating on the road.

Rita could understand his frustration. His only son is in the hospital for the few weeks if not month because they didn't check their daughter when they had the chance like NORMAL parents. Ever since Luan took up being a prankster, they never checked her, much less punish her for her actions. Luan's lucky that she wasn't in a household where she would meet a nice, thick, leather, belt if she was to ever act like that in her lifetime.

"Listen Lynn, I know you're sad about what happened to Lincoln. I know we should've put a stop to this pranking stuff with Luan YEARS ago. But it took up until now to realize it." Rita stopped as she was getting a tear in her eye herself, but wiped it away. "But getting sad is not going to bring him back sooner...all we can do is wait." She finished.

Lynn didn't respond. He knew that all of what she just said was true. And whether he likes it or not, Lynn had a role to play in all this. Good and bad habits start young. Now it's not entirely their fault for what happened to Lincoln, but at the same time, if they would've taken any type of authoritative power while Luan was at a younger age, maybe, just maybe, Lincoln wouldn't have been sent to the hospital.

"Yes, I know. But I just can't help but think that some of this is our fault. If only we had stopped Luan sooner...but no we just let her get away with it. And in turn, she got brainwashed into thinking it was okay to do what she ended up doing over the years." He said while still driving.

"That's true, I mean we did encourage that behavior a little bit, and even in school she wa- Oh my god." She just remembered something.

"What?"

"Um...did you happen to contact Lincoln's teachers to let them know he's going to be out of school for the next few weeks?" She asked him.

"I thought you contacted them!"

Rita put her hands on her face. "Oh my god we are such horrible parents."

Lynn sighed. "Shoot you got that right." He said agreeing with her. "Look let's just pick up the girls and take them to go see how Lincoln's doing because the younger ones are worried sick about him. And I know Lincoln is getting bored sitting in that hospital, so maybe we can swing by the house and pick him up some of his things to take to him."

"Alright honey. Let's just pray that things don't get worse."


Meanwhile, the gang and Ronnie Anne made their way towards the hospital to see their friend. Since they had no other way of getting some transportation, they had to take the city bus to the hospital. Adding in the fact that it was a 10 minute drive, and it would've been doubled if they we were walking. So after they all payed the bus fare, they made their way to see their buddy.

After they got off the bus, they entered the hospital to head p to the room Lincoln was staying in. Like Lynn said, his room is 356. So after signing into the visitor's list, they traveled up the three flights of stairs. Upon reaching the third floor, they traveled down the hallways until they found the right room. Meanwhile, the boy they were looking for was in his room dying of boredom. Not literally of course.

Lincoln was lying in his hospital bed all day completely bored out of his mind. He was lucky enough that his favorite cartoons came on past the kiddie shows that premiere early in the morning. But then when the shows came on that he liked, he seen the same episode multiple times. So now his attention span went all the way back to zero really quickly.

"Ugh...why me? Why? All because I wanted to get a snack last night." He muttered in his bed. "I should ask my parents if they can bring me some stuff from my room the next time I see them." He finished.

"346, 348, 350, 352, 354...Here it is. 356." Clyde said as the rest following him. The glasses wearing child then knocked on the door waited for a response.

"It's open!" Said the voice of the 11 year old they were looking for.

Without hesitation, Clyde opened the door to find his best friend confined to the hospital room. Clyde knew it was going to be bad, but his eyes told him that "bad" was not a good enough word to describe his condition. The other then shuffled past him to see what he was looking at, only to have the same shocked facial expression as Clyde.

Lincoln looked away from the TV to look at his friends that came to see him. He noticed their facial expression as they looked him up and down as he was covered with noticeable injurious. The broken arm, fractured shoulder, and bandages around his head made it clear that this time it was something serious.

"Lynn wasn't lying, It IS bad." Ronnie Anne finally spoke to break the ice a little bit.

Lincoln slightly sat up in a more upright position to have the conversation. "I'm guessing Lynn told you guys what happened?" He said to them as they closed the door behind them so no one else could hear their conversation.

"Yeah she told us everything." Clyde said. But the question is, why did this happen? I thought Luan said she wasn't going to prank anyone this year."

"That's what I thought! But no she had to go and lay down some traps, in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep, hoping to get someone!" He winced a little as he forgot he is still injured and can't get excited as much as he wanted too.

"So wait a minute...she said up traps in the middle of night? I assumed that this happened right after school!" Liam said. "Who does that?"

Lincoln snorted "Well that's my sister Luan for you. God the lengths she'll go just for prank."

Ronnie Anne just stood there not saying a word. The more she looked at the injurious Lincoln received the more heated she gotten. Now she's not the person to go and admit that Lincoln and herself are are couple, but they still have a pretty close connection. And seeing her precious Lame-O in a hospital bed just lit a fuse inside her heart and was about to spread like wildfire.

"That fucking bitch! What is wrong with that girl?!" She started cursing while her fists were trembling with what was about to be pure rage from the Latina. "I knew that girl was trouble the very first time I met her!"

Lincoln is noticing the rage starting to boil over, so he has to try and put a lid on it before it turns into an erupting volcano in the hospital room. "Ronnie Anne, it's okay. I'm fine-"

"Fine?! FINE?! You having a broken arm, fractured shoulder, and a injured rib cage is FINE?!"

Rusty lifted up a finger. "Don't forget a major concussion." He added in but immediately regretted doing so when he felt the wrath of Ronnie Anne's almighty death stare. Making the orange headed boy look at shut his mouth and look anywhere besides directly in her eyes.

"Ronnie Anne, trust me, I'm lucky to even be alive right now. Went I went unconscious I really thought I was on my way to see the big man in the sky. If you get what I mean…" He said with a serious tone in his voice.

"Don't say that Lincoln! I don't even want to think about you being gone." She said looking like she was growing a tear in her eye as she went closer to Lincoln and came to up to hug him. Not too hard of course.

"There, there it's okay." Lincoln wrapped his good arm around Ronnie Anne. Letting her cry into his hospital shirt.

Lincoln's guy friends started to feel sympathy for both Ronnie Anne and Lincoln. They instantly regretted about the times they teased Lincoln for having a female admirer. They never knew how Ronnie Anne truly felt in their relationship, but now knowing how much emotion she was showing right there at the moment, they know that they have true love for each other.

"So they are boyfriend and girlfriend huh?" Liam whispered to Clyde.

"Yeah, I've been telling you guys this for months now." He whispered back.

Lincoln was holding Ronnie Anne in his good arm for a couple minutes now. He started rub her hair up and down to try and calm her down more. Once he felt like she fully calmed down, he looked the Santiago girl in her eyes. "You're okay now?"

Ronnie Anne took a little bit of time to respond. "...Yeah I think so…"

"Look if it'll make you feel better, the doctor told me I should be out of here and released in a couple weeks depending on how fast my injurious heal." Lincoln said with a half smile.

"Okay. I guess it won't take too long."

"Trust me, these two weeks are going to blow by in no time." Lincoln assured her.

Ronnie Anne smiled a little bit "Alright." She then looked at her phone and saw her text from her mother and her brother Bobby. Both asking 'WHERE R U?'. "Okay well I have to go now. My mom and big brother are getting worried about me."

"You'll come back and visit right?"

"I promise I'll come and visit you again."

"Alright, thanks Ronnie Anne." He then looked at his male friends. ""And thank you guys for coming to see me."

"Oh shucks, it's no problem buddy, you would do the same for us." Liam said.

Ronnie Anne wiped her eyes as she gathered herself. "Well guys um…" She said kind of embarrassed. "I'll see you guys tomorrow I guess." She said leaving hospital room.

"Bye Ronnie Anne!" they waved at her as she closed the door and set out to head home. The guys turned their attention back to Lincoln.

"So, boyfriend and girlfriend huh?" Zach asked.

"Yeah you can say that." Lincoln said. "What you're gonna make fun of me for having a girlfriend? Let's not forget you guys have someone thanks to yours truly."

"No no no no!" Zach quickly said. "I was just going to apologize for teasing you about hooking up with Ronnie Anne."

"Yeah same here. Sorry Lincoln." Liam added in.

"I'm sorry too buddy." Rusty said as well.

Lincoln smiled at the apologies rolling in. "It's cool guys, you don't need to apologize."

All of them smiled as they thought the white haired boy will be mad at him for still teasing him for the longest time. But it turned out to be all good.

"So you're gonna be alright?" Clyde asked.

"Yeah, I think I'll be up and walking in no time." Lincoln replied to his best friend.

"Okay. Well we all have to get home, I'll see if I can come see you again tomorrow to bring you any homework that would assign us."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye Lincoln." They all said as they waved their good friend goodbye.

Before Clyde closed the door, he remembered something. "Also I forgot to say this, your sister Lynn said to get well soon. Bye Lincoln." He smiled as he closed the door shut and began his journey home.

Lincoln smiled in his bed. "I have such loyal friends." He said to himself, as he turned the channel to watch some TV.


Meanwhile at the Royal Woods Kickboxing Gym…

Lynn was angrily working up a sweat with her friend Polly on a heavy bag. She was wearing one of her sports t-shirts and her red shorts, and barefoot of course. She had on tape underneath her gloves that she had on so she wouldn't hurt her own knuckles from all the punching she would do. As she was focusing on the heavy bag, she was throwing lots of punches and a lots of kicks at the heavy bag. She even mixed it up and started chaining together combos. Hitting the bag harder and harder as she became for furious of how her brother is sitting in the hospital because of her sister and her terrorism on her family.

As sweat poured down her face as she was about to put a hole in the heavy bag, she finished off her rage fueled assault on the bag with a roundhouse kick, sending the heavy bag back and forth. As the chains rattled and after the bag slowed down after a while, she then stopped it with her gloves and put he for head on it.

"I'm sorry Lincoln. I'm sorry…" She said to herself.

As Lynn was sulking on a punching bag, her friend polly just got done sparring with one of their other friends that goes to the same gym as them. And needless to say that girl should probably put a couple of bags of frozen peas on her face...and not go to school tomorrow. Polly Pain then walked over to her friend as clearly seeing something's up with her.

"Lynn? What's wrong?" The roller derby specialist asked concerned.

Lynn slightly turned her head to see her friend. But then turned her head back only a couple seconds later. "I don't wanna talk about it Polly…" She said in almost a mutter.

"Lynn you're voice is telling me something's up." Polly said still not getting a response out of her. "You can tell me, I'm not going to judge or tell anyone, I swear." She said enticing the athlete to tell her.

Lynn felt a slight sting in her stomach as she debated on whether or not she should tell her concerned friend. But after a couple moments, she gave in and looked at the derby girl.

"You promise not to tell anyone?" Lynn stared at her.

"I promise I won't tell."

Lynn then raised her right glove and glared at her. "I'm serious Polly! If you tell ANYONE, I'll…"

"Lynn." She said sternly. "I said I promised not to tell. When did I ever break any of my promises?" Lynn was about to open her mouth and say something, but the words died right in her mouth as Polly did bring up a good point. "Yeah that's what I thought. Now what's bugging you, c'mon let's sit down." she said grabbed Lynn's wrist with her leather covered hand, and guided her to a nearby bench, away from some of the other occupants in the gym. They both then took a seat next to each other to discuss what's troubling her.

"So what's going on with you?" Polly asked look at her sports friend.

Lynn sighed. "Okay...You know my brother Lincoln right?"

"Yeah I remember him, the nice white haired boy that you hooked me up to the dance, only to find out you and a couple of your sisters loaded him with three more on top of hours, but still was nice enough to make it up to me by hooking me up with his friend Rusty. Yeah what about him? Is he okay?" She asked slightly concerned since she brought up her brother.

Lynn sat uneasy for a few seconds as she finally came out and said it. "He's in the hospital."

Polly's heart dropped and was utterly shocked at the news "What a minute, WHAT?!"

AN: Yes I know ANOTHER cliffhanger. And yes here comes the comments now. "What took you so long?" "Another cliffhanger you asshole!" blah blah blah. I'm sorry about that, but I had to get this chapter out as quickly as I could while still writing a good amount to keep you guys interested. So the question is, why were you not updating for two months? Well I'm going to put it as quickly as possible.

New school, Youtube, schoolwork, drawing, homework, good lunch at my school now, more drawing, lazy time, more drawing, making new friends IRL and on Deviantart and Furaffinity, more drawing. That's pretty much the gist of it. Again I apologize for not updating this story a lot fast, but I still have a life to manage and take care of business.

Now a couple things about the story, now I went on a mini rant on both Lynn Sr and Rita, and I'm pretty sure you guys can agree with me when I say...THEY ARE SOME OF THE DUMBEST PARENTS I'VE SEEN SINCE MR AND FROM FAIRLY ODD PARENTS! I'm sorry, but if I did have the stuff the loud kids did growing up, I probably won't even be here right now. And how you children act deflects on how well the parents raise their kids. And they have a long track record of being bad parents, I don't have to name any situations Rita and Lynn Sr.

But anyways, I hope you guys found this chapter satisfactory. The next chapter will leave off on where Polly and Lynn left off, as well as his parents and other sisters visiting him in the hospital, as well as how Luan's doing...which is not all that great in all honesty. I promise I won't take too long this time.
