Lincoln found himself entering Luna's room. Looking around the room Lincoln could see various instruments all around the room.
"Luna which instrument are we going to play?" Asked Lincoln.
"Well, I was thinking that we'll rock with some guitar." Luna said to him. Luna glanced around the room before walking to her bed and reaching for something under it. After a couple of seconds, she grabbed hold of something and pulled out a guitar before handing it to Lincoln.
"Here bro, you can use my backup guitar." Said Luna.
"Thanks, Luna. What do you want to play?" Asked Lincoln once more. Luna thought about it before reaching under her bed again and pulling out a small box. She opened it and inside were a bunch of papers with notes on them. Luna grabbed one of the papers before handing it to Lincoln.
"How about this one?" Lincoln glanced at the paper. He didn't really care what song it was, he just wanted to relax and play some music with his sisters.
"Sure." He answered simply. Luna gave him a smile before going to grab her own guitar. She motioned to him to sit down beside her on her bed, which Lincoln did and sat down beside her.
Soon enough Luna began to play the guitar flawlessly. With Lincoln trying to follow suit he attempted to play the guitar. Thanks to his sister he did have some experience playing but that wouldn't help him since when he attempted to play the strings, he needed to use his right hand. Lincoln breathed in and out before attempting to play, it sounded horrible.
Sometimes he pulled the strings too hard due to the twitching and sometimes he missed them completely, the bad noise coming from the guitar was enough to snap Luna away from her focus on playing the song. She looked over to see her brother struggling.
"Everything all right?" Luna asked. Lincoln turned to her with his guitar and showed her what the problem was.
'How could I have forgotten about that?!' Thought Luna while mentally scolding herself. Luna saw how Lincoln's turned into a sad one all because of her. Quickly thinking of another instrument, she reached under her bed and began looking for something.
Lincoln looked on as his sister was quickly looking thru all her instrument's searching for something that Lincoln won't have trouble playing. She suddenly stopped before pulling out a piano keyboard that she blew the dust off before handing it to Lincoln.
"Here Linc. I'm sorry about the whole guitar thing." Said Luna apologetically.
"Don't worry about it, Luna. Even I forgot for a second there." Said Lincoln as he let out a small chuckle. Luna gave a smile and proceeded to show Lincoln how to play.
He had to admit it was difficult to play the piano without bending any of his fingers, knowing that it would cause twitches. But eventually Lincoln managed to play a simple tune, then Luna showed him some more complex stuff that didn't require much finger movement.
The next hour consisted of Luna and Lincoln playing their instruments together with their own parody lyrics, laughing at how silly they managed to make the song. All the while Lincoln was smiling with Luna feeling proud of herself that she managed to cheer her brother up.
Soon things began to settle down and Lincoln looked at the time before realizing that he was needed somewhere else.
"Got to go now, Luna. Thanks for the cheer up!" He said while smiling before putting the keyboard back underneath the bed.
"And it was rockin' to play with you bro." Luna smiled as Lincoln exited the room and waving goodbye to her.
As soon as he exited the room his mind began to wonder why all of the sudden his sisters were involving him to their activities until the thought struck him. 'They don't want me to feel bad about it.' Realized Lincoln as he looked at his arm.
"Hey, Lincy!" Said someone behind him. Lincoln jumped up and turned quickly around.
"Lucy what did mom te…" Lincoln stopped as he realized that it wasn't Lucy behind him. It was his happy and blond sister Leni, Lincolns face turned to confusion as he wondered how she could sneak up on him like Lucy normally does.
"Ohh sorry Lincy, did I scare you?" She asked in a voice full of sorrow. Seeing that his sister was getting sad he cheered her up.
"No no no, Leni don't worry, I'm just used to Lucy sneaking up on me like that." Lincoln answered. He saw as in a matter of seconds his sister's face turned into happiness again.
"Okay Lincy, anyway I totes need your help on this dress I'm making." Leni then gave Lincoln puppy eyes, he smiled before following her into Leni's room.
When he entered Leni motioned for Lincoln to sit down on a chair behind a table. The table had a sewing machine on top of it, and from the looks of it, Leni was sewing a small pink dress.
"Let me guess, it's for Lola." Said Lincoln.
"How did you guess? Are you some sort of fortune teller I see at the mall?" Leni wondered. She handed Lincoln a roll of string, Lincoln gave her some confused looks before she answered.
"Could you please put it inside the machine while I get something?" She walked to her closet leaving Lincoln alone beside the sewing machine. The problem wasn't that Lincoln couldn't attach the roll to the machine but instead, he knew that his right hand would be too inaccurate to put it in. But not being one to back down from a challenge before trying it he would try to attach it with his left hand.
Meanwhile, Leni was digging through her stuff looking for her book inspiration book which held all the pictures for reference on how to sew that dress.
Having no luck with finding the book she glances over to her brother to see how it was going for him. Lincoln was currently trying to put the small string through the needle on the machine.
With him not begin a lefty and with his right arm decently unavailable it was really difficult for him. He was about to ask his sister for help but did not when he finally fit the string through the needle.
"Yes!" Lincoln said exited and throwing up his arms in the air. Leni who was looking at her brother's success from a distance clapped her hands while smiling at him. She continued to look for the book for about five minutes meanwhile Lincoln was waiting for her and reading a book with a green cover that he found on the table.
"Do you need help Leni? And what are you even searching for?" Lincoln asked. Leni stopped digging around her closet and began to wonder.
"It's a green book. I don't know maybe I just put it under the bed." Said Leni as Lincoln looked up from the book he was reading and gave her a dumbfounded look.
"You mean this one?" He asked as he held the book above him. Leni looked at the book and her face turned into happiness.
"Omg thanks Lincy!" She grabbed the book out of his hand with Lincoln still having the same look on his face.
Soon enough the brother and sister were preparing to sew the dress. He let Leni take his place since she was going to use the machine and she asked him to hold the dress in place so that it wouldn't move around when she sewed.
"Leni, I don't think I can hold that in place." Lincoln stated. Leni looked at him confused, Lincoln pulled out his right arm and made a fist showing once again that his arm still twitches. But that wasn't the only thing he was starting to fell.
Pain began to fade in much to Lincoln's surprise. Slowly the pain regained the same strength as it had before, Lincoln didn't want to abandon his sister like this and decided to endure it for the time being until he helped Leni.
"Are you okay Lincy?" Asked Leni worried. Lincoln looked at her face of concern with a battle going on in his mind.
'You should tell her. You excuse yourself then and get Lisa's test over with.'
'But Leni doesn't deserve to see you in pain. And telling her would alert your other sisters and make them worried.'
Not wanting to make her or his sisters more worried Lincoln saw no other choice than to lie.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Putting on his best smile. Leni looked at him making sure that he was really okay and meanwhile Lincoln tried not to make a pained look.
"Okay if you say so Lincy. And don't worry you can hold the dress with one hand if that is more comfortable." She smiled at him. Lincoln smiled back giving her a thumbs up with his left hand.
The pain was surging thru his mind, he clutched his right hand out of pain making it twitch, he hid the twitching hand behind his back before pressing down his left hand on the dress.
Leni turned the machine on and began to sew all while Lincoln was trying to keep his cool. But weirdly Lincoln wasn't annoyed by the constant pain but instead, it was the twitching that really filled his mind.
Knowing that it would take him years to learn all of the skills that he used to have. And that was what hurt inside him the most, it was not the pain but instead losing something important to him.
Realizing that he was going down a dark path in his mind he remembered what Lynn had spoken to him about. The thought of her words made Lincoln's pain feel just a bit more bearable.
Lucky Lincoln wouldn't need to wait that long because Lincoln heard the sewing machine turn off. He looked over to see Leni inspecting her work, he moved his hand away letting Leni pick up the dress and examine it.
"Omg, this looks amazing. Lola will totes win the next pageant." Leni smiled at him and he responded back with a quick smile before heading for the door.
"Alright, Leni thanks for letting me help! Have to go now." He said hastily before running out the door, not letting Leni thank him.
As he walked the halls, he attempted to hold a steady breath, but instead, only small inconsistent breaths came out. And the young boy found himself outside of the young prodigy's door.
