Hello everyone! It's Erik from EAP715 back with an addition to "The Loud Crush." Thanks for the continued support thus far and for the honest feedback you've given me. It is helping me become a better writer little-by-little. I would like to quickly point out that some of you didn't like the way I had Lincoln's adoption play out (i.e. some of you described Lincoln as a puppy). That was not my intention at all; the idea was that Lincoln would be a surprise to the Loud sisters because I wanted to integrate some hype in the story and have the Loud sisters be in a highly anxious state since I felt that Lincoln's addition to the Loud family would be an extremely valuable moment for the girls. I'm sorry some of you disliked the adoption scene, but I still appreciate that you let me know. It'll help me avoid writing content that upsets you in the future.
With that out of the way, I now present to you chapter 4 of "The Loud Crush." Just as a heads up, this will be kind of a long chapter as it will take some time for each Loud sister to introduce themselves to Lincoln. And because I want to tackle more than the introductions, I will add some more story to hopefully make this chapter enjoyable. Enjoy!
Now that the Loud parents had left the house, the Loud sisters began introducing themselves to Lincoln, from oldest to youngest.
"Hello Lincoln," the sister with the light blue tank top and brown cargo shorts said. "I'm Lori. I'm the oldest sister of the family. I'm currently in twelfth grade at Royal Woods High School and once I graduate, I hope to attend Fairway University. In my free time I enjoy playing golf for fun or hanging out with my boyfriend Bobby."
"Nice to meet you Lori! I'm glad you're planning to go to college and it's great to know you enjoy playing golf," Lincoln smiled.
"Nice to meet you too Lincoln. I absolutely look forward to college. And if you want, I'll take you to my next golfing trip so you and me can play some golf together. It would be great to have a partner to play with."
"I'd love to play golf with you! Sign me up!" Lincoln said excitedly.
The fashionista then introduced herself. "Hi Linky! I'm Leni, and I love everything to do with fashion. I enjoy shopping at the mall for the latest trendy clothes and I often design my own clothes for fun. I also love blogging on social media."
"Nice meeting you Leni. That's awesome! Maybe you can design me some clothes later on. I'd love to see your work!" Lincoln said.
"I'd love to show you my collection! And I totes would love to design you some cool stuff!" Leni smiled.
Next up, the rocker of the family spoke up. "What's up bro? I'm Luna and I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE music!" She then grabbed her purple electric guitar and played a loud chord, instantly regretting doing so as she startled Lincoln with the loud strum. "Oh dang it. I forgot I had my guitar hooked up to my amplifier. Sorry about that little dude."
Lincoln was not at all bothered by Luna's sudden guitar strum, only startled. "It's okay Luna, I know you didn't mean to do it. And that is so cool that you love music!"
"It sure is little bro! And not only that, but I also write my own songs when I have free time. I'm also part of a rock band and we go on gigs usually once a week."
"Wow, now you're talking!" Lincoln said. "I look forward to listening to the songs you make. I'm sure they get town rockin' and rollin'!"
Hearing Lincoln's compliment made Luna grab and pull him into a hug. "Aww, thanks for the sweet words dude. I've got some recordings on my laptop of my singing if you want to check them out later."
"You're welcome Luna," Lincoln said hugging her back. "And I definitely will check out your songs!"
After the rocker and the white-haired boy released from the embrace, Luan chimed in. "Hiya Lincoln! How do you do?" she said, offering him a handshake. However, as Lincoln grasped her hand, his hand was shocked mildly, causing him to let out a yell. "Hahahaha! I'm Luan, and I'm the joker and comedian of the family. I love comedy very much and I currently run a business named Funny Business Inc., where your fun is our business! As part of my job I attend many birthday parties dressed up as a clown to bring to people fun and laughter. And as you just saw, I like to pull pranks on my siblings. Hahahaha!" Luan chortled.
Lincoln laughed along with Luan. "That was a neat prank you just pulled on me there. But I'm glad to see you enjoy having fun. I bet you brighten the day of every audience you visit!"
"Thanks Linc!" Luan laughed happily. Just then the athlete of the Loud family jumped forward.
"Hello Lincoln! The name's Lynn Jr., or LJ, for short. I'm the star of the family, having in my possession 54 soccer trophies, with 15 of them won in state tournaments; 46 basketball trophies, 3 from state tournaments; and 25 football awards, ten being trophies, another ten being medals, and the other five being gold plaques awarded by the governor of Michigan. And these are just some of my biggest accomplishments. I've got many more awards in my closet that I can ramble about all day."
"Wow LJ, you're quite the sports fan, aren't you?" Lincoln said astonished by Lynn Jr.'s achievements.
"Sure am Lincoln." She then suddenly tackled Lincoln onto the ground, leaving him surprised and in a bit of pain. The girl did pack quite the strength in her muscles!
"Wow, you definitely got some power in them muscles," Lincoln complimented, groaning a bit from the tackle, but still smiling. "I'd like to go see you play someday. I'm sure you always get the crowd roaring and cheering you on whenever they see your spectacular moves."
"Thanks Lincoln," the athlete said giving Lincoln a tight bear hug. "I'll let you know when my next game comes."
"I look forward to going to it!" Lincoln said, returning LJ's tight embrace. As Lincoln and LJ separated from their hug, the family goth and poet suddenly popped up behind Lincoln, startling him.
"Hey Lincoln, I'm Lucy," the goth and poet spoke in monotone. "I love everything having to do with darkness and profundity and I enjoy writing poems. I'm part of a poetry club at school where I create work that occasionally gets published in local newspapers. I also enjoy visiting cemeteries in my free time."
"Cool!" Lincoln said. "I'd like to read some of your poems if you don't mind. I'm sure you've got a lot of good and deep stuff in your work!"
"Thanks Lincoln," Lucy responded with a wry smile. "I'll read you some poems later. I think you'll really like them."
The Loud house mechanic and mud-lover's turn then came up. "Hi Lincoln! I'm Lana, and I love mud!" Lincoln could tell this was true as he noticed Lana's overalls and cap had mud stains on them. "I'm also a fan of automobiles and anything involving mechanics. I often fix the family van whenever it breaks down and leave it in a better condition than what it was before. I also have plumbing experience and can fix any toilet, sink, or tub in a jiffy," she said smiling.
"Nice!" Lincoln said impressed by Lana's expertise. He never thought a young girl could foster such skills. "It's great to see you know how to repair stuff. You've got to show me your skills!"
"Thanks! The next time something breaks in this house, I'll make sure to bring you along with me. Maybe you can be my assistant!"
"I'd love to be your assistant," Lincoln said, winning another hug on Lana's behalf.
The Loud house princess then stepped up. "Hi Linky! I'm Lola, and I enjoy competing in beauty pageants. I have won 16 titles so far; 10 from my school, 5 from regional pageants, and 1 state pageant. I also love hosting tea parties and I'd be honored if you could attend my next one!" Lola said giving Lincoln a cute smile.
"Awesome! I'm glad to see you enjoy showing off your beauty and talent to people. You are indeed a very beautiful young lady and I can see why you've won so many pageants. And I would love to attend your next tea party. Sounds very fun!"
Lola was touched by Lincoln complimenting her beauty, leading her to jump into Lincoln's arms and give him a hug and princess kiss on his left cheek.
"Why thank you! You're quite a gentleman," Lola said as Lincoln hugged her back. "By the way, Lana forgot to mention this, but me and Lana are twin sisters. That's why we look alike."
"Aww, that's cute! You two are very adorable," Lincoln said, making the twins blush.
Just then, a loud explosion boomed in the living room. And it was none other than the nerd scientist of the household. "Hello male sibling unit. My name is Lisa Loud," the young prodigy introduced herself, speaking with a lateral lisp and a formal tone. "I am quite knowledgeable in the sciences and mathematics, possessing twenty Nobel prizes due to the advanced research and discoveries I've made."
"Nice to meet you Lisa," Lincoln said, imitating the scientist's formal tone. "You're a very distinguished young lady, and I look forward to seeing what more discoveries you'll make."
"Thank you brother. Right now I am conducting research on unidentified flying objects, street name UFOs. Would you like to take part in the research?"
"Absolutely! I would like to see what you can come up with to explain the strange objects and lights people sometimes see in the sky. It's a very mysterious and fun topic!"
"Agreed Lincoln. And you already met our youngest sister earlier. Her name is Lily. She went with our parents earlier to the adoption center to bring you to the family."
"Yes, I did meet Lily earlier today. Right you little cutie pie?" Lincoln said turning to Lily who sat in front of him and giggled at Lincoln's words.
"Alright Lincoln, this is who we are," Lori said. "Welcome to the Loud family!"
"Welcome to Loud family Lincoln!" everyone then said.
"Thanks guys! I'm so pleased to meet all of you. It's awesome to hear about your amazing talents and your interests," Lincoln replied. "Oh and before I forget, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Lincoln Loud. I'm 11 years old and I love reading Ace Savvy comic books. I also enjoy watching action TV shows and movies and anything related to camping and survival skills. But most importantly, I love families. And now that I'm one myself, and after seeing how well you've all welcomed me to this home, I can safely say that I love this family."
With that, the Loud sisters took Lincoln into a group hug. Lori then said, "I'm glad you love us Lincoln. We love you too bro and we hope you'll enjoy living with us here. Now how about we show you your room?"
"Please," said Lincoln.
"Okay, follow us." Lori and the Loud sisters led Lincoln up the stairs and to his new room.
"Alright Lincoln," Lori said. "Here's your room. Mom and Dad got you a comfortable bed, a bookshelf for you to place your favorite Ace Savvy comics, and this desktop so that you can put your personal stuff on, such as your backpack or a glass of water."
"Wow, this place looks great! Thanks Lori!" Lincoln said, entering his room and looking at everything in it with appreciation. The Loud sisters smiled as they saw Lincoln make himself comfortable in his new room.
"I'm just going to rest in here for a few minutes, this bed feels very nice and soft," Lincoln said sighing happily.
"No problem Linc. The bathroom is at the end of the hall over there and if you need anything just let any of us know, okay?" Lori said sweetly.
"Okay, thanks again Lori!" Lincoln said. The Loud sisters proceeded to their respective rooms to relax a bit, leaving Lincoln to enjoy the softness of his bed.
After about 20 minutes, Lincoln felt the urge to use the bathroom. He got off his bed and began walking towards the end of the hall. Present in the hallway was Leni who had decided to vacuum up the second floor to keep it tidy and clean.
Leni noticed Lincoln approaching her and gave him a warm smile. "Hi Linky!"
"Hi Leneeeeee—" Lincoln suddenly felt a strong sucking motion overtake him. He felt himself being dragged; his clothes were stretching out extremely. And then, rip! Lincoln gasped in shock when he found out what caused the ripping noise. Leni had accidentally pointed the vacuum's suction tube in Lincoln's direction when she saw him coming. She had intended to wave hello but by mistake she used the hand that held onto the suction tube she was using to clean the hall. Because the vacuum possessed a strong motor, it held a suction power so great that it caused Lincoln's clothes to tear off his body and get sucked into the vacuum.
Lincoln now stood in the hallway in his white undies, blushing blood red, frozen in place, and unable to react. To make matters worse for him, the other Loud sisters had come out of their rooms since they had heard the tearing noise and wanted to find out what had caused it. Expecting to find a discarded piece of paper or a torn dress on the ground, they gasped in shock when they found out the embarrassing truth.
Leni herself didn't know what to say. Fortunately, she had immediately reacted at the occurrence by turning off the vacuum, preventing Lincoln's underwear from being torn off as well. But still, she felt embarrassed for her mistake. Not finding any other way to respond, Leni softly said to Lincoln, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do it." Lincoln continued to stand in the hallway, unable to react. He had never before had this happen to him, and the fact that not one, not two, but all the Loud sisters were looking at his nearly fully exposed body made him ever more uncomfortable.
After a long, silent two minutes, with Lincoln still frozen, the Loud sisters decided to approach Lincoln and console him.
"We're so sorry Lincoln. We didn't mean to see you in your underwear. We just wanted to find out what the ripping noise we heard was, but it unfortunately led us to see your undies," the Loud sisters said in unison.
"If it helps you feel better Lincoln, you actually look pretty cute in your underwear!" Lola said.
"Yeah, totally bro. You actually look cute in them white undies," Luna agreed.
"And it's not like you're the only one who's had this happen," Lori chimed in. "Some of us have also been caught in our undies before. For instance, Dad once walked into my room while I was changing. He hadn't meant to see my underwear, he only wanted to ask me a question and just happened to come into my room at the wrong time."
"And my boyfriend Benny once saw me in my underwear while I was changing backstage at my school's auditorium. He also had wanted to ask me a question about a play we were going to perform that day and he just so happened to find me changing into my stage costume," Luan added.
"The point is that you're not alone. We too have been discovered in our underwear," Lori said. "I just want to let you know that everything is okay. We're not here to try to embarrass you or make you feel bad. We want you to feel good and to feel comfortable with us. What Leni did was an accident. She never meant to have this happen." At this point, Lincoln finally began reacting, with his face starting to return to its normal color. His sisters' words were comforting him and were starting to make him feel better.
After several more seconds, Lincoln finally managed to open his mouth and said, "It's okay you guys. I'm sorry for not saying anything earlier, I was just too shocked by this sudden event that I couldn't figure out how to respond. But I knew none of you meant for this to happen and please know that from the bottom of my heart I am not at all mad. And Leni," he turned, facing her, "I forgive you. I know you didn't mean to rip my clothes off. Don't worry about it; everything's okay." Leni teared up a bit from hearing his brother's soothing words. They had helped her calm down. She then gave him a comforting hug.
"Thanks Linky. You're such a kind guy. To make up for what I did, I'll make you a new pair of clothes, and also, there's something else I'd like to do for you so you can feel better. Just come into my room."
"No problem Leni. Don't worry about making it up to me. I'll just grab a new pair of clothes that I bought earlier today at the mall and problem solved!"
"I appreciate your kindness Lincoln, but really, please come into my room, I want to show you something important!" Leni insisted.
"Alright Leni," Lincoln said not wanting to disappoint his fashionista sister. "Please do show me what you'd like to share with me."
"Yay! Right this way," Leni exclaimed excitedly, leading Lincoln into her room whom she shared with Lori. "Have a seat on my bed," she said as she closed the bedroom door.
"Alright!"
"Okay Lincoln, don't freak out about what I'm going to do next, okay? This is just to make you feel better."
"No worries Leni. I promise you I won't freak out," Lincoln said smiling.
"Great!" Leni then proceeded to take off her green dress and white frills, exposing her bra and panties to Lincoln, who was still in his undies. "See Linky? Now you're looking at my underwear. I'm doing this because I want you to feel better after what I did to you. I saw your underwear and now you're seeing mine. Do you feel better now?" she asked hopefully.
Lincoln wasn't expecting Leni to do this, but he understood that she really meant to make him feel better and he didn't want to see her upset. Moved by what she did, Lincoln got up and gave Leni a tight hug.
"Leni, although you didn't need to do this, I do appreciate how you're trying to make me feel good again. Thank you so much, really, thank you."
"You're very welcome Linky," Leni said, hugging Lincoln tightly and stroking his soft white hair with her fingers. The two stood there in their undies, hugging for a long time, allowing themselves to feel each other's love and care until suddenly, they heard a voice from downstairs that yelled…
"Dinner's ready!"
Alright everybody. This is going to be a wrap for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it! I hope you like how Leni showed her display of extreme kindness towards Lincoln. It's why she is one of my favorite sisters from The Loud House. I know I had originally said that I would have Lincoln visit each of the sister's rooms in this chapter but I decided to change that because I didn't want to bring out too much detail on the sisters' rooms (yet). It would have made this chapter substantially longer if I had done it that way. I will eventually have Lincoln visit each sister's room though so please don't dismay! Anyways, chapter 5 will see some family time, starting with Lincoln having dinner with the Louds. I may introduce one or two sisters' rooms as part of Lincoln getting to bond with his sisters. That's it for now! This is Erik from EAP715, signing off. God bless. :)
