The three finally reached the house, and it was nighttime already. Rita jas partially stopped crying, as mascara was scattered on her face. They had just got out of Vanzilla.
"Be ready for tommorow, Lincoln, and remember to get a good night's sleep. You have a big day ahead of you" Rita told Lincoln.
"Okay..." he said. Lincoln had a few small but noticable tears coming down his face.
When Lincoln got to his bed, he couldn't get rest. He was thinking about his parents and sisters, and how they would survive without him. These led to a whole stream of tears coming down his cheeks, as he cried himself to sleep, with his plush rabbit in his hand. Meanwhile, Lynn Sr. called the girls down.
"Girls!" Lynn Sr. yelled.
The girls looked very nervous and in a bad mood, as if a promotinal event at the Royal Woods mall had just ended.
"So girls, we have some very, very saddening news to tell you all." Rits started.
"Is it about Lincoln?" Lana said.
"Yes." Rita said.
"It turns out that family on the phone, that was Lincoln's actual family." Lynn Sr. told them all.
All the sisters gasped in shock, some even started crying and sobbing at the news.
"What is going to happen, then?" wondered Lucy.
"Sadly, Lincoln is going to be taken away by his true parents, and we are going to host a ceremony to tell him goodbye." Lynn Sr. explained.
"That's like, so terrible!" Leni shouted.
"Get some rest. You don't wanna let him go lonely." Rita said.
The sisters went upstairs and in their respective rooms. That night they couldn't sleep either because they wanted Lincoln to stay. But they eventually fell asleep.
