Here you go! A new chapter, I hope you enjoy it. please comment.
The family Loud returned home after a relaxing trip, even though they all had enjoyed it, none of them could hide their joy of being back at home and start doing their own plans for the summer. Everyone came out from Vanzilla and went into the house to unpack, Once in his room, Lincoln took his woki toki and spoke to his best friend.
-Clyde? Are you there buddy?
-. . . . . . . . . . . . . .-
-Clyde! Please answer! Are you there?
-. . . . . . . . . . . . . .-
Lincoln for a moment was close store his Woki Toki in his wardrobe when. . .
-Lincoln! It's good to hear from you!
-I say the same Clyde, What did you do while I was gone?
-Great! My parents and I did all kinds of activities, board games, we went swimming, walking through the park. . . Oh! That reminds me of something. Lincoln, Can you come over to my house?
-Uh? It's not that I can't but why?
-There is something I think you might be interested to know but I would prefer to tell you in person
-Hmmmmmm, I understand. I'm on my way- The white haired boy said and then came out of the house to meet his best friend
….
While Lincoln ran toward Clyde's house; Lori and Leni were inside the van, driving on the other side of town.
-Very well, Leni, here is where you saw him right?
-I think so. . .
-You think so?
-Yes, I'm sorry but all the streets look the same, they should paint them in different colors!- Leni said a bit anoyed.
Lori just rolled her eyes and ignored the very intelligent comment from her younger sister, she didn't know why she helped Leni, then she remembered it was because Leni promised her to do her chores for full one day if she did, even though that was her main reason, she had to admit she was kinda curious to see that boy that her sister and her Bobby saw, They searched for 3 hour but it was useless but there was no trace of any kid even remotely similar to Lincoln.
-Agh! This is silly! What are we really doing here?
-Looking For Linki No. 2! Duh!- Leni answered.
-Linki No. 2?-
-Yes!, the boy looks like Lincoln right? So he would be Linki No. 2
-Leni. . . Even that kid out there looks like Lincoln, I doubt very much he would like to be called like that, not even if his name is also Lincoln.
-How do you know?- Maybe he would like it!- Leni said rolling her eyes.
Lori rolled he reyes too and decided not to continue that absurd conversation, the sisters continued their search, but after another 30 minutes without results, Lori finally broke out:
-Dang it! Where is that boy!
-I don't know, but surely must be doing something very important- said Leni trying to calm his sister.
….
In the orphanage on the other side of town, Brandon was sleeping peacefully in his bed, one of the boys approached him and said:
-Brandon, What is wrong with you? You haven't raised throughout the day!
The boy covered himself with his blankets and replied:
-Leave me alone! I already complete my tasks here and it's my day off from work! I'm not getting up for nothing today, I want to sleep!
-Ok! I'm sorry! Don't get angre at me!- replied the boy and stormed out of the room.
…..
Lincoln finally arrived at his friend's house, Clyde answered the door.
-Lincoln! It's good to see you! I hope you had a good time buddy!
-I assure you I did but tell me, what did you want to talk about?
-Come inside, while we eat something, we can talk about it.
Both friends entered the house for that Clyde could tell Lincoln what happened two days ago. When he finished, his white haired friend was speechless.
-There you have it my friend, it's seems you have a double walking out there.
-Wow! Seriously! I can't believe it, and even more; I can't believe he kicked the rear of Chandler and his friends
-Yes, who would while trying to get revenge on you, he would find a boy who would send him to the hostital
-Yeah, well. I suppose we owe him one. Besides, I wouldn't like to have in my concience the fact that an inocent kid was hurt in my behalf-
-That's why I told you we should had to apologize to Chandler before!
-Hey! We tried! and he tried to ambush us with his two friends, we were lucky Lynn was close that day to save our butts
-I guess you're right, even so, I really doubth Chandler wants to fight anyone again after what happened, I also say we owe that boy one
-But that is not the most important thing now! Just imagine it, a guy that looks like me! Not even our colleages were able to tell the diference, that is pretty great.
-You're right
-We must find him!
-But Lincoln, how do we find him? we do not even know if he lives around here, maybe he was just passing by the town and already left.
-It's posible but I remember Leni said he saw someone like him the day prior to the event with Chandler, he still may be around here.
-I see your point. Let's do it!
-Excellent, the operation find my twin to make a deal with him to joke my friends and sisters and also think a shorter name for this plan, begins now!
Both boys were very excited about the plan and excited the residence McBride find Lincoln's double. After a couple of hours of searching without results all over the neighborhood, the two friends decided to rest in the park, sitting on a bench-
-To be honest Clyde, I thought this would be a lot easier
-I say the same buddy, at least we can say that the is not in this part of the town, perhaps we should try on the part closest to the city
-That will be a problem, our parents would never let us go to that place without supervision and I doubt Lori would be willing to offer to take us there in the Van.
-I understand, In that case, I think the only thing we can do for now is wait for him to show again.
-I suppose there is no other option, pity. I would have liked to meet him today
-Me too.
…
It was already getting dark when Lincoln as Leni and Lori returned home, exhausted and annoyed for neither of them were able to find the second white haired boy.
-I can't believe I literally lost three hours of my life in a dumb search!- Lori said while entering the house.
-Hey! It's not my fault! Neither of us thought it would be too hard to find that . . Oh! There he is!- Leni shouted while pointing to the door. Lori immediately turned around to see but her excitement didn't last long when she saw who was her sister pointing.
-Leni. . . That's Lincoln- Lori said and facepalmed
"Oh! Dang it!
The 11-year-old boy looked at her sisters, although he was disappointed for not founding his double, he asked:
-And what are you two doing?
-Nothing really Lincoln, just trying to find the boy that Leni saw, which according to her, it looks a lot like you
-Really? I did the same but I could not find him, what about you?
-No, he was no where to be found, perhaps Leni really just imagined him
-I did not!- Leni said confident
-Oh! I understand, it's a pity- Lincoln said disappointed.
-But wait a minute! Why you were looking for him? I thought you didn't believe Leni saw a kid like you.
-Yes well I . .-
-Lincoln! Don't you dare lie to me
-Ok! Clyde told me he and some of my other friends had an encounter with this kid and it seems all of them mistook him with me
-Hmm, I understand, I still can't believe we have not been able to find him today.
-Maybe the kid works part-time and today is his day off, so he decided to rest and not leave his house!- Leni said very thoughtful, both brother and sister observed her and rolled their eyes.
-Yes. . . . I'm literally sure that's not the reason we didn't find him Leni, anyway; I think it's time to prepare dinner, it would be better not to mention anything of this to the others, at least not until we are absolutely sure that there is really a boy equal to Lincoln out there, Understood?
Both Leni as Lincoln nodded and followed Lori to prepare dinner.
….
(The next day)
Brandon was in the shopping center handing out flyers to promote a clothing store, he was running happily doing parkur all over the place, that helped him to draw the people's attention, that and also the fact that a great part of his face was covered with a cap and hood covering his white hair, not to mention his dark glasses, it was a simple but effective disguise, recalling the previous day with Ronnie Anne, Brandon had decided to keep a low profile in order not to be confused again. Truth to be told, it was becoming annoying to be confused with Lincoln, that same morning, a really pretty red haired girl ran away from him, as if he was some kind of stalker, so he had decided that until not personally meet Lincoln and clarify the matter of not being the same person, he would continue hiding his face, he even decided to look for him in his next day off. It didn't take long for him to finish his work, he returned to his employer to report:
-Very well, Miss Bridget, I just finished with the flyers
-Good job Brandon, I congratulate you, here's your pay, don't waste it in one place ok?
-Ok!- the young kid said and began to walk out the local but his employer spoke once more.
By the way, you should take that cap and black glasses, no one would be able to see your face.
-That's the idea lady!- Brandon said without turning to look at her.
-I understand, I don't know your reasons but I wont question you! I'll see you tomorrow
-Very well, until then- the boy said -Ok. . . let's go for that burger!
…
All the Loud sisters and brother were very excited inside Vanzilla, they were going to their favorite place of all, The burping burger. They were n't sure why but whenever they went to that place, they could not help to sing the place's theme.
-Well girls, now all together!- Lincoln said while opening the restaurant's order.
Hungry y'all? Look no further!
Come on down to Burpin' Burger!
Grade B beef and special spice!
When it comes back up, it's twice as nice (belch)
They all sat down at a family table, the older sisters went to the counter to order, a couple of minutes later, all the Loud gang started to eat, they were all so busy eating that they didn't notice a certain boy entering the restaurant, he was so busy smeling the food he didn't notice that family either.
-Very well! Time for a delicious burger!- Brandon said to himself. He wasn't someone who enjoyed spending money on unecesary things but there were times he saved some of his tips to enjoy a good meal or treat, he immediately went to the counter to place his order.
All the Loud gang were having a good time, out of nothing, Lincoln received a call from Ronnie Anne and left the restaurant to be able to talk to her in private, he didn't want his sisters to listen and meddle.
-Hey Ronnie Anne! How are you?
-Very well, you did well in your trip?
-Great, we a lot of fun
-I'm glad for you, now listen, you can't imagine who I met a couple of days ago
-Ohhhhh! Tell me about it!
Ronnie Anne told Lincoln her encounter with Brandon, Lincoln could not believe what his not oficial girlfriend said, if Clyde wouldn't had told him before, he could had thought she was trying to play a joke on him.
-So, now that you know this, what will you do?
-Well, I am going to try to find him, if even you thought he was me! Imagine all the jokes we could pull together!
-I understand your point Lincoln but. . . remember from what I saw, the does not share your excitement, not to mention that we know nothing of him
-That doesn't matter, For what he did to Chandler, I think he deserves a chance to be my pal.
I won't deny that, by the way. Next time some someone is threating you, tell me! Chandler was lucky your double got him before me
Lincoln blushed upon hearing that, but to be honest, he would never do that, it was enough that his sisters were always overprotecting him, he didn't need his almost girlfriend doing it, as a man, he had his pride, or at least, he was trying to have it.
-I will Ronnie Anne- Replied the white-haired boy.
Lincoln said goodbye to her and went to meet with her sisters inside the restaurant again, when everyone had finished eating, all the gang came out of the restaurant, but before entering the van, Lola said:
-Lori! Just give me a moment! I forgot to refill my glass of soda, can I go please?
-Two minutes! No more Lola!" Lori said while texting Bobby.
Brandon finally received his tray with his food and proceeded to search for a place to sit, smelling his burger and couldn't stop drooling a little, he always enjoyed these little pieces of heaven, inmersed in his fantasy, he didn't notice a little girl running towards the soda machine, she was so hasty and so distracted that the collision was unavoidable, Brandon didn't fall but his soda poured out on the little girl's dress on the floor. This was very annoying but he calmed down when he saw a little girl no older than 6 years old.
-Damn it girl! Watch out where you are going!- The young kid said and extended a hand to help Lola to get up, the little diva, after recovering, noticed her sticky and pink dress, an internal fury began to grow in her, he observed the boy with dark glasses and hood in front of her for some seconds, she slaped his hand and shouted:
-Look what you did to my dress you idiot!
-What? You were the one that hit me at full speed stupid girl!- the white-haired boy answered quickly.
-Yeah right! It was your fault and now my dress is ruined!
-Relax! It's nothing that a good washing with soap and water can't fix!- The boy said who immediately retreive his hand, since he had no desire to help or continue dealing with her, he simply took his empty glass and got up to go back to refill it. Lola watched him, feeling offended by his indifference, she also got up and stood in front of him.
-You won't escape so easy!
-Hey girl! You're starting to annoy me
-Oh yeah? Then let me annoy you completely!
Being quite fast, The boy never saw her comming, Lola used his hand to hit the boy's tray and droped it, Brandon's burger and fries fell, and scattered all over the floor, the burger seemed not to have received great damage because it was packed, even in his surprise, Brandon gave a sigh of relief but it didn't last long when he saw the little girl's shoes trampling on it.
-This will teach you how to treat a lady! –Lola said with a small smile of satisfaction. Out of nowhere, she started to jump on it and the fries again and again, when she was finished, there was only a disgusting mass of smashed potatoes and hamburger. While Lola smiled, Brandon just watched what was left of his food. The food he had paid with his hard work, slowly and without control, anger began to grow inside of him, he watched the girl, she was still smiling. He looked at her closely, he noticed some things, without counting the stains on the dress, the girl was well-groomed and clean, bright and well combed hair, she was wearing long gloves and a toy tiara, he couldn't deny she was very pretty, the ribon arond her chest made him think that possibly she liked to compete in beauty pageants, maybe she even came from a family of high-resources, it made him even angrier, he had nothing against that type of people, what he hated was that smile of "I can do what I want without being punished" a gesture the boy really hated in the whole world. it was clear she thought she would get away with what she had one, he smiled; obviously she didn't know him well enough. Lola saw that the boy did not move for several seconds, not wanting to extend the issue anymore. She extended her finger to point to the white haired young boy:
-Well, I think you've learned your lesson commoner, recalls that AHH!
Lola could not finish speaking because Brandon pulled her arm, she lost her balance and fell but instead of her body touching the ground, she had fallen face down on the boy's lap, with a quick movement, he placed one of his arms on the back of the girl's neck, not very strong to avoid hurting her but enough to be able to subdue her. He just needed to inmovilize her, Lola turned around as much as she could to see her aggressor:
-Hey! What do you think you're doing?!- Said the diva while watching him, she was worried, her fears only increased when she realized what he had planned to do, the position in which she was at that moment, the boy's hand raised on high.
-No. . .You wouldn't!
-I would, personally I don't like to hit girls but a lesson must be learned today! Be thanfull that I will use my hand instead of a tablet like those the Sisters use in the Orphanages where I live.
-Wait, we can discuss AHHH!
Once again, Lola was interrupted but this time it was the pain in her butt, the boy literally had given her a spank in front of everyone, many of those who were present that had seen what happened before said nothing, they all agreed the girl had it comming.
-(Spank) This is for you to learn to not behave little brat!
"Wait! It HURTS!
-(Spank) as it should be!
-IT HURTS!
-(Spank) And remember! You should respect your elders!
-No more! Please!
-(Spank) And never waste food! you have no idea how many homeless children suffer from hunger in the streets! No! Of course you don't have idea!
-GUAHHHHHHHHH!- Finally the litle Diva cried loud
After a couple of more spankings, Brandon let go of Lola who stood there, sobbing uncontrollably as he stroked her butt that surely was already as red as a tomato.
-Well, I hope you have learned a thing or two, if I were you, I would sit for a while, goodbye.
With a little bit of embarrassment, Brandon picked up what was left of his crushed burger and walked out of the restaurant while eating it.
-Hmmmm, is not that bad- he said to himself.
….
Just as the boy came out, a girl with brown hair came to the restaurant to see why her little sister was taking too long to come out.
-Lola! What is. . . LOLA! What happened to you?- Lynn ran to her sister who was crying on the floor. The diva immediately stood up and hugged her sister.
-Lynn. . .The. . .The. . . GUAHHHHHHHH!
-The what? What happened to you?
-You . You see, what happened was. . .
….
All the Loud Gang waited in the truck, Lori was already impatient, she about to enter the restaurant but stopped when she noticed Lynn came out at full speed, she looked furious.
-Lynn, what is going on?- Lori asked.
-There is no time to explain! Someone hit Lola!
- What?!"- All the sister and brother exclaimed.
-Yeah! Someone spanked Lola, you all go to her, I need to chase the culprit.
Without saying anything else and ignoring the gang screams, Lynn began her persecution to find the guy, according to Lola, he was wearing blue sweater with hood, a cap and black sunglasses
…..
Hmm, maybe I overreacted a bit. . . Nah! That girl needed to learn respect, I did the right thing! Brandon said and finished his meal.
-But. . . Why this girl gave me this strange feeling? As if he knew her, Don't be ridiculous, there is no way you could know a girl so spoiled
Brandon laughed a little and continued to walk, but a scream behind him interrupted him.
-Hey you! Stop!
Brandon turned around only to see the same girl with brown hair with sports clothes he saw back at the restaurant coming to him at full speed.
-Who the hell are you and what you want?- He asked, suddenly the girl jumped and tried to hit him with a flying kick, at the last second, Brandon dodged the kick, even having failed, the small athlete made a perfect landing, they looked each other for a moment, suddenly the boy spoke:
-Hey! What is wrong with you? If I do not have dodged that, I'd hurt seriously!
-Ha! That is the least you deserve for hurting my sister!
-What? You are that spoiled brat' sister?
-That "spoiled brat" has a name! Is Lola! And you're going to pay for what you did!
-I imagine she told you her side of the story.
-There was no time, but I know what I need to know: You, my sister, she getting hurt, any last wish punk? Said Lynn furious.
-Only for you to listen to me, your sister deserved what I did, she trampled my food I bought and didn't apologize, I just gave her a spanking for her to learn some respect and from what I could see, she really needed one!
-That isn't your decision to make! It's mine, my brother and sisters' work to see how to discipline her!
-In that case, you all suck at it – Brandon said and smiled.
Lynn was about to launch herself to fight against the boy when she heard a voice behind her.
-Lynn! There you are!" His brother shouted, he was running toward her with Luan, Luna and Leni to his side. Both Brandon and Lynn watching aproaching at them, at that moment, the white-haired boy knew that it was time for a strategic decision.
-Guys! I found the guy! now I will give him a lesson!- Lynn turned to see the bully but noticed that he was running away.
-Oh no! You won't- Lynn and started to chase him
…
Brandon ran with all his strength, he didn't considered himself a coward but he wasn't foolish enough to try to fight with 4 older people at the same time, in the distance, he couldn't see to those people very well but it seemed that two of them were older than him. he knew he had to escape, he didn't turned to see but he knew the athlete girl was following him and yelling at him to stop
-Seriously! Do you really believe I will stop only because you say so?- he thought as he continued running.
Thanking God for his experience in his younger years at the Hatzeltuki city streets, Brandon pulled out a good advantage to the girl with his speed and parkur, he felt relieved but it didn't last long when the girl demonstrated a high proficiency in the technique too, the boy couldn't help but feel respect for the sport girl, in different circumstances, would be interested to know this girl. Lynn began to reach out to Brandon, the young man was started to get nervous, the girl was close to get him, she was less than 3 meters away from him, for his luck. He noticed a very worn street ahead and the green light was close to change to red, something the athlete didn't seem to notice, the white-haired boy crossed the street jumping over the cracks without problems and when he saw back, he noticed that the girl had tripped and fallen on the street.
-Yes! In your face!. . . What the hell?!
Brandon joy was interrupted when he saw a truck in the distance that didn't seem to realized the girl in front of him. he had no time to think, he acted by impulse, Brandon ran toward Lynn who was sore for the fall and had not yet seen the truck coming toward her.
-Watch out!- The boy shouted and tackled Lynn with all his forces the last second before the truck would overrun the young girl, both landed on the sidewalk. Still in the air, Lynn caught a glimpse of the truck that could had taken her life, a very deep fear surrounded her, the bully had saved her life, Brandon immediately let go to Lynn to saw if she was hurt.
-Hey! Are you okay?" the white haired boy asked, Lynn did not answer right away, she was still in shock by what could have happened a few seconds ago. Without looking at him, she said:
-Why you saved me?
-Hey. . . Is not that I want you to get hurt
Lynn lifted his head to look at her savior, immediately her eyes' pupils became small, her world froze at that moment.
-Thank . . What the. . . Lincoln?
-What? Not again! I even am covered. . . Oh God- Brandon said, noticing too late that his hood was low and his cap and sunglasses had fallen when he saved the girl.
Both kids looked each other for some seconds, Lynn was speechless, Brandon by his part was also a bit intrigued, he couldn't explain why, but like the other snob girl, this little athlete one also gave him a strange feeling and he didn't like it, his common sense told him to stay away from her, When Lynn noticed Brandon going away, she shouted:
-Wait! Don't go!
-I'm sorry girl but you should not forget that technically I'm still escaping away from you. Goodbye!
The boy walked away as fast as she could, Lynn wanted to follow him again but the pain in her knees didn't let her, they were bleeding, it seemed that her earlier fall was worse than she had thought. Shortly, his older sisters and brother immediately embraced her.
-Lynn! Are you okay? We saw you in the distance, and then that that truck. . .driving towards you . . .
-I'm fine Leni, that boy saved me
-Really? I see, by the way; where is he? Asked the fashionista.
-I don't know. . . After saving me, he got away.
-Dang it! no matter. Now we need to take you to treat these wounds and then we will see what to do- Said the Lincoln and immediately carried his sister on his back.
-Lincoln! . Please, I can walk!- The athlete tried to complain but the pain proved her wrong.
-Lynn, please. Look at your wounds. I know you are strong but you need help, please.
Lynn only blushed and nodded her head, all proceeded to go home, as they went, Lynn noted the path to which Lincoln's double had run. Wondering if she had really seen him or of she just imagine everything. One thing was for sure, she had to tell the rest of her sisters and brother.
