After sometime passed the sisters went to do they're normal activities until Lori called them to start the operation, but despite they're best efforts to resume they're activities they were not very focused on them, they were eagerly waiting for the moment to spend time with they're brother and hopefully help him regain some of his most pleasant memories, except for Lisa who was still working on her experiment.
Lori reached for a walkie talkie that she hand on her bend and talked into it.
"Dark Specter, this is Alpha Loud, do you copy?" Lori said into the walkie talkie.
"Loud and clear Alpha Loud, over." Wispered Lucy from the other walkie talkie.
Lucy was currently in Lincoln's room, hiding under his bed, she was asked to sneak in there by Lori to keep an eye on Lincoln and what he was doing.
"Do you have any new developments to report in the target's room? Over." Lori asked.
"The target has just finished his conversation with Ronnie Anne from his computer, he is currently listening to SMOOCH tracks on said computer." Lucy continued to wisper."Should we proceed with the next stage of Operation: Restore Lincoln's Memories, over?"
"Yes Dark Specter, I will enter the target's room and converse with the target, until I'm finished with the conversation you must remain unseen until further notice as to not disturb the target, we wouldn't want him to think we are spying on him, over." Lori instructed Lucy from the walkie talkie.
"Roger that Alpha Loud, I will remain out of sight until further orders or instructions are given, over and out." Lucy finished her conversation and turned of her walkie talkie.
Lincoln was busy listening to the music from SMOOCH that was on his computer, hoping to find anything that would help him remember his family or maybe something about his kidnapping, but his attention was suddenly draw to a knocking comming from his room's door, he opened it to find a smilling Lori.
"Hello Lincoln, did you sleep well last night?" Lori asked sweetly.
"More of less, I had a nightmare, but I woke up to find Lola, Lana and Lucy sleeping in my bed, we cuddled for a bit and I slept pretty well after that." Lincoln explained.
"Glad to hear it." Lori said. "Listen, we were going to the mall and hopefully stop for some lunch at Burping Burgers, if you come along we could problably help you recover some of your memories, are you up for it."
"Sure I will come along!" Lincoln answered, but Lori's question confused him, why would he want to hang out with his sisters?
"Great! I will call the other's, go downstairs and wait in the living room." Lori instructed Lincoln.
Lincoln nodded and went downstairs to wait for his sisters, after he left his room Lori walked inside and stomped on the ground three times, Lucy, who was still hiding under the bed, witnessed this happened and recognized it as the signal for Lucy to come out of hinding, Lucy came out from under the bed.
"Great work Lucy, now help me inform the rest of our sisters the next stage of the operation has already started." Lori asked Lucy and she nodded in agreement.
Lori and Lucy went from door to door to inform the sisters that the second stage of the plan was in motion, they all walked downstairs and greated Lincoln before going to Vanzilla, they also made sure to save the sweet spot for Lincoln, none of them liked the idea of handing the sweet stop to someone else, but it was a small price to pay for Lincoln's sake.
The drive to the mall was very relaxing with the siblings have pleasant coversations, but not much happened outside of that.
Once they arrived at the mall Lori decided to take Lincoln over to the comic book store, they spend some time there browsing some comics.
"These are Ace Savvy comics." Luan said holding up an Ace Savvy comic."You like to read these all the time."
"Yeah, I figure, there were a hole bunch of them in my room, they are kinda familiar, but I still can't remember anything." Lincoln answered.
When the Loud sisters heard this they were a bit disapointed Lincoln didn't remember anything, but he seemed to find the comics familiar, it wasn't much but it seemed like progress.
After that Lincoln went with his sisters to visit the other places that they wanted to go to, after a while of walking around the mall they all started to feel hungry, so they went into the food court, place they're orders and went to sit together to enjoy they're meals.
"Wow, even been in the mall for two hours!" Lori said looking at her clock.
"Wow, I didn't even realize how much time passed." Lincoln exclaimed.
After hearing that Luan stopped eating fries and looked at the one she was holding on her hand, when she looked at the fry on her hand after hearing that conversation she felt something she didn't feel in a long time, she started to slime before looking at Lincoln.
"Well you know what they say Lincoln..." She says holding up the frech fry in her hand. "Time FRIES when we're with you!"
After she said that, they all looked at Luan, they couldn't remember the last time they heard Luan make a pun, let alone a good one, hear that pun brought them back to the time they were a happy family with Lincoln before he ran away, everyone started to laugh, even Lucy was letting out some of her signature monotone laughs, Lincoln too was laughing a lot.
But none were happier than Luan herself, she really missed hearing Lincoln's laugh, even a groan would have made her smile, but than she started to feel super energetic.
"Oh lord, I feel great, it feels awesome to make a pun after so long, it's like how you feel when you vomit and all the stuff that was making you feel bad was expelled from your body!" She started to scream."YEAH! LUAN LOUD THE COMEDIANT IS BACK BABY! HAHAHAHAHA!"
After that everyone else on the food court started to look at Luan like she was insane, and the other Loud sisters started to panic, Lincoln was mostly just confused, she started to make pun after pun after pun.
"Oh no!" Lisa said in horror."Seems our sister has re-descovered her addiction her addiction to bad puns!"
"We need to stop her before she starts annoying Lincoln!" Lola exclaimed.
"I got this!" Luna said before standing up and walking to Luan and placing a hand on her shoulder, Luan looked at Luna with confusion.
"Luan and I need to go to the bathroom!" Luna said."Go ahead and wait for us outside the food court!"
"I don't-" Luan started saying before Luna elbowed her hard in the stomach."-know where this sudden need to go to the bathroom come from, let's go Luna!"
After that Luan followed Luna to the bathroom, before she could ask her sister what that elbow to her stomach was all about Luna walked close to the bathroom stalls and peeked under the doors to see if there alone, after Luna made sure she and her sister were alone she walked up to her and started talking.
"Luan, I tought we agree that we weren't gonna take any risks!" Luna said.
"What? I was just making puns, what's so wrong about that?" Luan asked her sister.
"You do remember your pun and pranks were part of the reason Lincoln left right?" Luna asked her sister.
"I know, but you remember that the sister fight protocol and the bad luck incident were the two nails in the coffin that caused Lincoln to leave us right?" Luan asked her sister."As long as we don't do anything as bad as that I think we are safe, and I promise I will take it easy with my pranks on Lincoln from now on!"
"Fine, but if I find out you've been going overboard with your pranks on Lincoln again, I will tell Lincoln the truth!" Luna threatened.
"You wouldn't dare!" Luan claimed.
"You wanna bet!?" Luna responded.
Luan didn't like the idea of limiting her prankster abilities, she would often put cameras around the house to film Lincoln's emberassing moments, but she didn't want to lose her brother again, she figure it would be a small price to pay for having Lincoln back.
"Alright alright!" Luan said.
"Good." Luna responded."Now let's go, the others are waiting for us."
After Luna and Luan reunited with the other Loud siblings they left the mall to go visit some other places Lincoln might reconize, the park, Lincoln's school, they stopped by Burping Burgers to see if Lincoln recognized the place, they even stopped by the house Ronnie Anne and Bobby use to live before they moved away, but no such luck, Lincoln seemed find some of the places familiar, but no place the went to seemed to cause Lincoln to recover any of his lost memories.
They went over to Clyde's house, when they walked inside they saw that not only Clyde, but Zach, Rusty and Liam were there too, once again, Lincoln's memories didn't seem to return, but the Loud sisters decided to let Lincoln spend some time with his friends.
The sisters left Clyde's house made went back to Vanzilla, Lori decided to have a final chat with Clyde's parents before joining her sister in Vanzilla.
"We well drop by later to pick up Lincoln, be sure to tell us if Lincoln remembers anything, or if anything else happens we would like to know." Lori instructed.
"Don't worry Lori, we have you phone number and your house's phone number as well, we will keep in touch." Howard said.
"And make sure Lincoln has a good time, I feel like he needs it after being gone for a while..." Lori asked, looking down in shame.
"You have nothing to worry about Lori, I'm sure Lincoln will be fine, and you will have nothing to worry about." Harold said before putting a comforting hand on Lori's shoulder, which seemed to ease her worries.
"Thank you." Was all she said with a smile before leaving to Vanzilla.
The ride back home was very quite and awkward, no one would say or do anything, it continued this way until they reach the living room and all took a seat, they stay quite for a moment until Lynn decided to break the silence.
"Looks like this was all for nothing, Lincoln seems to find a few places familiar, but he still doesn't seem to remember anything." Lynn said with frustration clear in her voice.
"Getting angry won't solve anything." Luna told her younger sister.
"Yeah, It's too soon to give up, we might not have been able to help Lincoln recover any of his memories, but we can still wait for his memories return in time, and even if that doesn't happened we can start from scratch with Lincoln, we have a second chance to be better sisters, if that means we have to build our relationships with Lincoln from scratch, then so be it!" Lori spoke, trying to cheer up her sisters."Are you with me!"
"Yeah!" All the sisters cheered.
"That won't be necessary eldest sibling." A voice suddenly said, all the loud sisters turn to were the voice came from and they found Lisa Loud coming down the stairs from th second floor to the living room.
"Hey Lisa, while we were out trying to help our brother remember who he is you were working on your things, thanks for nothing!" Lola complained.
"No need to complain sibling, I was working on something that will help Lincoln recover his memory..." Lisa explained.
"Really? What is it?" Leni asked with curiosity.
"Follow me to my room siblings." Lisa said walking back up the stairs.
The other Loud sisters followed her up to her room, they saw her standing next to something hidden under a white cloth, when everyone was present Lisa removed the white cloth to reveal a chair that looked like a dentist chair, it had a strange metal bowl handing from above with a bunch of small lamps attached to it and a strap that made it look like a helmet, there was a small screen next to it and the arms of the chair had shackles and there were also shackles where the legs were meant to be.
"Wow Lisa, I knew you were smart, but I didn't know you were also a dentist, did mom teach you?" Leni asked with amazement.
"I am not a dentist Leni, and this isn't a dentist chair, at least not anymore, siblings allow me to introduce to you the memory implanter 2000!" Lisa said point a hand at the machine.
"How about you start explaining what this is about Lisa!?" Lynn said getting impatient.
"Precisely one month before Lincoln ran away I decided to make a machine to read minds, I asked Lincoln to test it and it worked, I managed to get a recording of all of Lincoln's memories." Lisa explained.
"How will this help Lincoln?" Lana asked.
"After finding out Lincoln got amnesia I spent as much time as possible working on this machine, changing it from a mind reading machine to a memory implanting one, if Lincoln sits in this chair and we activate this machine, he will regain most of his lost memories." Lisa continued to explain.
"But if Lincoln remembers what happened won't he hate us and run away again?" Lola said with dread in her tone.
"As you know, the main two things that caused Lincoln to leave were the sister fight protocol and the bad luck incident." Lisa told her."Does events didn't happen until after the month this machine read Lincoln's mind, meaning he won't remember any of the events after that, he won't remember the sister fight protocol and the bad luck incident."
After Lisa was done explaining this the sisters were very happy to hear it, Luna however had one concern.
"Will the machine actually work?" Luna asked.
"I am not sure, I haven't had the oportunity to test it yet, but I worked out all the possible problems, the worst thing that can happened is that Lincoln won't remember any of the memories in the machine."
After Luna asked that question the sisters were very happy they found a possible way for Lincoln to regain his memories.
After a few hours the sun was starting to set, Lori went to fetch Lincoln from Clyde's house, she even dropped Liam, Zach and Rusty back in they're respective houses before returning Lincoln back to they're home, once inside Lori asked Lincoln to follow her to Lisa's room, where all of his sister were waiting for him, after they came in, Lisa explained Lincoln what the machine in front of them did.
"What do you say Lincoln?" Lori asked."We won't for you to do something you don't want to do..."
Lincoln took some time to think about it, every second Lincoln spent thinking about the offer was a minute to the Loud sisters, which made the wait very hard to handle.
"I'll do it." He said.
"Are you sure?" Luan asked with concern.
"Yeah, I've been feeling very guilty about not remembering anything about this wonderful family I have, for my sake and the sake of all of you I'll try." Lincoln said, not realizing he was making his sisters feel guilty.
"Then let's get to it, shall we?" Lisa said.
After that Lincoln took a sit on the chair and strapped on the metal bowl with lights, Lisa went around the chair putting on the shackles round Lincoln's wrists and ankles, honestly Lincoln and even some of the Loud sisters were really scared of this, it felt like something out of a horror movie or like Lincoln was sentenced to an eletric chair.
"Ready?" Lisa asked and Lincoln replied with an affirming nod.
Lisa activated the machine, suddenly the light on Lincoln's helmet start blinking and Lincoln stated moving around like his body was being eletrocuted, the screen by the chair started flashing a who bunch of Lincoln's memories the light's in the entire who started blinking until they stopped working, the electricity in the house and even the surrounding houses started to go out, it was night time, and the lack of electricity emerged the entire neighborhood in darkness.
The sister were starting to get scared, the night's on Lincoln's helmet stopped blinking and instead started become brighter and brighter with every second, the sisters were afraid the lights were gonna burst at any second, the machine also started letting out some high pitch sounds that became louder with ever second, the louds started becoming so bright it started blinding the sisters, and the sisters covered their ears trying to drown out the high pitch sounds becoming louder and louder to little effect.
The lights from the helmet were the only source of light in the house, but as the light started to become brighter, soon enough the lights became so bright they became the only source of light in the entire neighborhood.
The lights started diming until they were turned off and the sounds started to fade, suddenly the nights in the neighborhood started returning and they saw that Lincoln was unconscious, they got him out of the chair and brought Lincoln to the living room room couch.
Lisa assured them that the worst thing that could happened was that Lincoln wouldn't recover his memories, but after that whole experience did nothing those words did nothing to calm they're nerves.
But soon enough Lincoln woke up.
"Lincoln, are you ok dude? Luna asked her brother with concern.
"I'm fine I guess..." Lincoln answered.
"Can you remember anything?" Lola asked.
"I don't know, ask something and tell me if I can answer correctly." Lincoln asked.
"What's your favorite TV show?" Lori asked him.
"I think it was...ARGGH!?" Lincoln asked.
"That's right!" Lori answered in glee.
"Who's my idol?" Luna asked her brother.
"It was...Mick Swagger right?"
"Right on the money little bro!" Luna answered with tears of joy.
"Who wrote this comic?" Lucy appeard out of nowhere with a comic on her hand, this was the comic she made for Lincoln after he took the fall for her when she clogged the toilet with her princess pony book.
Lincoln looked through of the comic book and the sisters leaded closer in anticipation after Lincoln finished looking through the book he looked at Lucy with a smile.
"It was you wasn't it?" Lincoln asked his 8 year old sister.
"You got it!" Lucy said after jumping into Lincoln's lap and giving him a strong hug.
After that all the sisters joined in on the hug and they started cheering that Lincoln recovered his memories, soon after Rita and Lynn Sr. walking into the house and were crying tears of joy when they found out he gained his memories back, they decided to orders as many pizzas as they could to celebrate, and the sisters and Lincoln were of course really happy.
But that happiness could not beat the joy of Lincoln recovering his memories.
They're only brother was back.
