Ok, an early new chapter, I thought if I should post it but then I said why not? I hope you like it and enjoy the Art too. Please comment. Peace!
All the Loud Gang was having fun as never before in the recreational park lake, either sunbathing or having a pleasant time in the water, while the little ones were playing, Lori and Leni were watching, the oldest was texting with her boyfriend Bobby and the younger one was watching her only brother, she couldn't stop thinking about what she saw in that corner back in the Town.
- Girls! I'm serious! that this boy looked exactly like Lincoln!
-Oh Leni, sometimes you really surpass yourself, it is literally impossible that someone look exactly like our brother- Lori replied.
-Yes! In addition, the world already has enough with one Lincoln !- Lynn continued
-Wow! Thank you Lynn!- Lincoln shouted to her sister who only winked to let him know she was just kidding.
-If you will allow me to say- Lisa said coming out of the water, according to various studies, people very similar to others can be found all over the World, sometimes to the point of even thinking they are identical, it is possible that Leni has seen a boy very similar to Lincoln, not identical but very similar, although there is also the possibility that she only made up everything, after all; we are talking about of Leni.
-No! I tell I didn't! I am sure they look the same!- said Leni with an angry tone.
Knowing that they would not be able to convince her otherwise, all the sisters only decided to play along.
-Ok, Leni, we believe you- Luna assured her.
-Really?
-Of course, now let us continue with our vacation!- Lori said and immediately all the sisters and brother returned to the lake, leaving Leni alone, it took a couple of minutes but she finally realized.
-They don't believe me! very well! In that case I will have to find him and show them I'm telling the truth!- She said to herself very determined.
….
Back in Royal Woods, Brandon walked through your neighborhood, carrying a list in his hands, he smiled satisfactorily when he saw her.
-This is sweet! I already have 7 houses where I'll cut off the lawn next week, 4 houses with pets whom I will take out for a walk throughout the month and there may be a chance for me to get that flyers's distribution post in that clothing store at the mall! Wow! It will be a busy summer but I have to take advantage of it!
Without realizing it, the boy was on the other side of the town, he couldn't believe all that way he had walked.
Hmmm! I hadn't been in this part of Royal Woods, hmmmm I should return already, I promised the Director that I wouldn't go too far from the orphanage but since I am here, why not take look to the place, after all I will need more houses to mark to visit later.
Brandon started his walk through the neighborhood, this place was quieter than the other side of the town, being the farthest part of the city, it was to be expected.
"Hmmmmm, I have to admit this is a quiet place, after the city's noisy life of Hazeltuki, I could get used to this.
The boy arrived at the park and sat down on a bench to check his list, he smiled at it.
-Ok! It seems that in this part of the town there are also good oportuinities, I will mark them as "Pending" Ok! now to relax a little and then go back to the orphanage.
Brandon rested on that bench for a long period of time, sleeping without concerns. Even for a brief moment, he allowed himself to forget all the bad things that had happened, for a moment he felt at peace, the truth is that he had thought that things would be much worse in Royal Woods but this was not the case, the new Director could be very strict but she was not an ogre, It didn't was that hard to be able to get part-time Jobs quickly and the boys of the new orphanage were friendly enough, of course, there were a couple of bullies but it was nothing that a little angry menacing look could not fix, it was always the same. Like dogs, they bark but don't bite.
After a few more minutes, Brandon opened his eyes and decided to return to his home, he gave no more than five steps when he heard someone speaking to him.
-Look at this guys! It's Lincoln!
Brandon kept walking as if he didn't hear anything, even though the voice seemed to be talking to him, it was obvious that wasn't the case, that wasn't his name.
-Hey idiot! Don't you hear me?!- The voice sounded stronger and annoying but Brandon didn't turn while still walking until he felt a hand take his shoulder in a not very friendly way, Brandon turned around to see who it was and found a boy quite chubby, slightly higher than him and with blond hair combed straight.
-Hey, do you really plan to ignore Chandler and not receive a punishment for it?- The boy said with a serious angry look. Brandon only watched him for a few seconds, before being able to give an answer, two other guys approached, one of them was a boy with black punk hair cut, red sweater and blue pants, to his side another boy slightly higher, red hair, green t-shirt on another white shirt and blue pants, like him, he had freckles, his eyes practically screamed narcissism, it didn't take long for this boy to be in Brandon's dislike list. The red haired boy who seemed to be the leader spoke:
-What are you doing here? Don't tell me your family couldn't afford a place to go for vacations?- the boy said earning a laughter from his two henchmen. Brandon clearly knew that they were confusing him with someone else but he really didn't like the tone of this fool. Before he knew it, they were already surrounded by some boys and girls in the park, interested in watching what was happening, their whispers were loud and clear for the white haired boy.
-Poor Lincoln, they are going to smash him like a potato
-What was he thinking in coming here without his sister Lynn? At least she would protect him.
-You will be missed friend
-What's with the change of look? I thought he loved to wear orange
Brandon paid little attention to all those guys, only one word remained in his mind.
Lincoln. . .
Before he could ask, Chandler spoke again:
-I must admit it, you have guts to return here even when I told you not to, after not coming to my Birthday party and make me look like a fool by telling everyone that you had more fun cleaning the Arcade mess than going there, nobody believed my party had been the best of the year anymore, then I promised that you and Clyde would pay for that! and now I find you here, and even better! you are not with your boy-girl sister Lynn to save you like last time, I think it's a good time for my vengance!- Chandler turned to his friend who was still holding Brandon's shoulder.
"You know what to do
The boy nodded his head and immediately turned to see Brandon, he said:
"Sorry, I hope you understand this is not personal
-(Sigh) I say the same-
"Eh?" Was all the chuby kid managed to say before receiving a powerful forehand directly to his stomach, deliveredy by no other than the white-haired boy, the boy immediately let go of the kid's shoulder and fell to the floor writhing in pain. All the spectators, including the red haired boy and his henchman were left with the mouth open, his eyes couldn't believe what they had just seen, Lincoln Loud, one of the most weak boys in the school, the boy that made his own foot-ball school team lose by scoring in the wrong side, the one who even entered a beauty contest for young girls. . . Had just literally left without breath one of the most intimidating boys of the school? With a single blow? It couldn't be! It surely had been a good luck hit, that had to be the reason!- Chandler thought.
- Well, I suppose even the weaklings like you can be lucky once in a while, but now is over, C'mon Ben! Let's him him lesson!- The red haired boy said to his second henchman who only nodded. As they aproached the white-haired boy, he spoke:
-(Sigh) before you try to do whatever they want to do, let me tell you that I'm not that Lincoln you are looking for, seeing you confusing me with him, makes me think that we may look similar but I assure you that I'm the wrong guy, so for this being a mistake, I'm willing to take this no further and give you the opportunity to go without a scratch. What do you say?
Chandler, his partner and all the other boys present observed Brandon for some seconds, then all started to laugh loudly.
-Hahahahahaha! As if Lincoln! Do you really think that stupid excuse will save you? Even if you are dressed differently and your hairstyle is changed to help you to hide. Did you really think you could fool any person with that stupid costume? Just accept your punishment as a man, and we all go our homes in peace!
-. . . . Well I guess it was worth trying- He though and prepared himself to have a good time, after all, he never rejected a fight- Bradon immediately made his knuckles crack and opted for an attack position and waited for his two future victims to attack him. Both boys pounced on the white-haired boy, unaware of the great mistake they had just commit. a macabre smile adorned the white haired boy's mouth for a second before the confrontation.
…
Clyde was taking a walk together with his parents in the park, they thought it was a beautiful day to spend with family, and with Lincoln away, he had no one to spend time with, shortly after beginning their walk, he and his parents saw in the distance a large number of people, watching something. The McBride family approached out of curiosity. When Clyde focused his eyes on the show, for one second, he didn't believe what he was watching. Right there, writhing in pain, with scrapes, bruises and blood in the nose and mouth, there were Chandler and his two companions he alwasy was with, all three being attended by classmates, he saw his friend Rusty watching the scene too, Clyde immediately approached him and asked:
-Rusty! What happened here?
Rusty turned to see Clyde and immediately took him by the shoulders and asked:
-Clyde! You have to tell me! Since when Lincoln became so strong?!
-What? What are you talking about?
-. . . You should had seen it! Lincoln kicked the rear of those three as if they were nothing, he was moving and jumping with much precision, his punches and kicks were fast too, he almost seemed like those characters from "Street Combat"
-But that's impossible! First. . .Even so I apreciate Lincoln very much, it's impossible for him to do something like that! And second, he is on vacations right now with his family, It can't be him the one who did this.
-Clyde! I saw him! Without a doubt it was Lincoln, sure, he was dressed differently and his hair was also changed but I think any guy here wouldn recognize his face, white hair and teeth anywhere!
-I tell it was not him! I just talked to him no more than an hour ago, he's still vacationing in the recreational park, whoever this boy is, he is definitely not Lincoln.
-Well. . . Now that you mention it, he did say he was not Lincoln but nobody believed him, we all thought he was kidding.
-Did he tell his name?
-No, just after leaving Chandler and his band beaten, he just said he had a lot of fun and ran toward the other side of the town
-That's strange. . .- Clyde thought.
…
Brandon was running at full speed toward the Orphanage, his clothes were a little dirty and battered by the fight but it was nothing he could not excuse by saying he had fallen in the park, he wasn't concerned, none of those guys know where he lived and he never told them his name, there was no way to get in trouble with the Director and even so, the truth is that it was worth it, to put in place that type of guys always brought a smile to his face.
-I had a lot of fun! I hope they come back for revenge! So I have an excuse to beat them again!- He said to himself as he continued running.
-Hey Lincoln!- a voice said from behind him, thinking that perhaps he was confusing him again, Brandon stopped and turned to see who shouted. It was of a boy with tanned skin and black hair, possibly about 17 years of age, he was driving a Pizza's delievery motocycle, it stopped right at his side.
-Hello little bro! What are you doing here? I thought you were on vacations with your family in the Recreational Park of Royal Woods.
-(Sigh) Listen, I'm not. . .
-Well that's a good thing! That means Lori is also at home! I will go to visit her later, very well, I have to deliver my remaining orders, I'll see you around. Oh I almost forgot! Keep this! I couldn't finish it myself.
The young man of gave Brandon a Pizza box, when he opened it, the white-haired boy saw that there was half of a large pepperoni pizza inside, only the view was enough to make his mouth start to drool.
-I'm going to take the drool as proof you like my gift, enjoy it! By the way, I like your new look!- the Young man started his motorcycle and quickly got lost in the view.
Brandon was still perplexed by what had happened, but he did not complain, It had been long time since he didn't enjoy a good slice of pizza, he rarely himself such treats. He immediately sat on the side of the stret and enjoyed the food, not try to hard to think about what happened, even though he was someone who believed in coincidences, it was already very clear what was going on, first the boys in the park, also the three bullies and now this young pizza delivery teenager.
-It seems I look like Lincoln, just like that book. . . What was his name? To yes! The Prince and the Pauper, ¿is there really a boy with my face around here?, No matter, Lucky him I guess, although it would be best that for now to keep a low profile and to stay away from this part of the village for a while, I probably already got him in some troubles for what I did to those guys.
Brandon kept eating his pizza, not minding very much about this guy Lincoln.
…
The boys Loud were preparing to sleep in the cabin, the older sister Lori was ready too but just before falling asleep, she received a message from his boo boo bear, she immediately took his pone to check it:
-Lori Where are you? Your house is empty
That message seemed very strange to the young girl, she immediately answered:
-Bobby boo boo bear, I told you the whole family would go on vacatiosn for 3 days
The answer took a while to arrive but after a few minutes. . .
-Then why I saw Lincoln here today? Don't tell me you left Him alone at home!
Lori expression immediately changed to a confused one, not thinking twice, she walked toward the room where Lincoln, Luan, Luna and Lynn were sleeping, there he was, her younger brother, sleeping peacefully and hugging his stuffed rabbit BunBun, sighed in relief, she answered her boyfriend's message:
"You silly, Lincoln is here, I'm seeing him now
But Lori. . . I saw him, I am sure it was him
-Probably it was a mistake, you work a lot, perhaps it is the tiredness
-Lori, I am sure he was Lincoln, at first I almost didn't recognize him for his clothes but I'm sure it was your brother!
After hearing that, Lori recalled what Leni said the previous day, could it be?
-Bobby, I don't know who that child was but I can guarantee you that is not Lincoln, it seems that Leni also saw him when we came here, don't worry, even if it is a little out of the ordinary, it is not unusual to find people similar to the ones we know
"I guess you're right. . .But that boy, if I did not know that it is impossible, I would say without a doubt that it could be Lincoln Twin brother
-Hahahaha, as you said boo boo bear, that is impossible
"Right, well. Rest Lori, I'll see you in two days
I say the same Bobby, see you later, I love you.
-I love you more.
Lori turned off her phone and finally decided to go to sleep. Thinking how strange would be to have two lincolns around.
