This Cute Preppy Blonde wants to Learn how to Dance from her Gothic Older Brother
Disclaimers I don't own the Loud House, you should all know who owns them, so please support official releases and your local fandoms, now onto the story.
It was another day for Lincoln, as he was walking out of the kitchen, peanut butter and sauerkraut sandwich in hand while listening to Washinton Park's newest songs 'Heavy' and 'One More Light' which just happens to be the name of their upcoming album.
Reaching for his door knob, Lincoln's vision went black as a set of familiar pale hands covered his vision.
"What's up Lucy" asked Lincoln as Lucy removed her hands as Lincoln turned to greet her, who was smiling at him, "Aw, how'd you knew it was me" Lucy asked sweetly.
"Besides knowing your hand size or the fact you use strawberry scented lotion on your hands" said Lincoln as he took a bite out of his sammy, "Anyways, I need a favor from you" said Lucy as Lincoln shut his eyes and nodded since this was already anticipated.
"Shoot" said Lincoln as he began to remove his earbuds and began to scarf down the rest of his sandwich, "I was wondering if you can teach me how to dance" asked Lucy as Lincoln raised a brow.
"Sure, I got no problem, but why me and why so suddenly" asked Lincoln, "Well me and my friends are going to an upcoming school dance, and well…" trailed off Lucy as Lincoln was waiting for her reason.
"Ok I'm going to level with you and say that I don't know how to dance by myself in a cool manner, that isn't the chicken dance or the robot" admitted Lucy in a serious tone.
"Alright, show me what you got" said Lincoln as he really wanted to see what Lucy can do.
As Lucy stated, all she can do was the chicken dance and the very simplistic moves of doing the robot that you'd see on a cheap 2-D flash animation, and even though it was embarrassing for Lucy, Lincoln could say that she met his expectations.
"Alright Lucy, I'll help you out" said Lincoln with a smile as he knocked on Luna and Luan's room, before Luna opened it.
"Sup bro" greeted Luna, "Luna can I borrow one of your blue tooth wireless speaker" asked Lincoln as Luna only needed to walk a few feet to hand Lincoln a speaker that was no bigger than a brick.
"Thank you" said Lincoln as the next place to go was Lori and Leni's room as he knocked on the door, where Leni answered it.
"Hey Linky, hey Lucy what can I do for you" smiled Leni, "Hey Leni, think you can pull Vanzilla out of the garage, I repeat just move Vanzilla out of the garage" Lincoln said as the last thing they want is for Leni to trash Vanzilla and cause their parents to pay yet another ticket.
"I can like totes do that for you" said Leni happily as she went to grabbed the keys to the power box, followed by Lily's toy keys, before getting the keys to Vanzilla and surprised everyone when she paralleled parked in front of the house.
Once everything was cleared up, Lincoln and Lucy began to move stuff off the garage floor as before warming up.
"So what are we gonna do first, waltz? Ballroom style? Ballet?" asked Lucy as Lincoln turned to give her a bemused look.
"Before I teach you how to dance, you're not going out there to dance with a boy now" asked Lincoln as his big brother mode was activated, "No, there's no boys what are you talking about" Lucy said nervously as Lincoln didn't buy it, but he wouldn't want to press on knowing that he'd wound up giving his little sister a hard time.
"Anyways, before I teach you how to dance, I'm gonna give you an idea what you're getting into now" said Lincoln as he connected his smartphone to the speaker, before selecting the song.
It was one Washinton Park's songs, but it definitely was more of a remix since it was more on the hip hop vibe as Lincoln began to pace back in forth.
Instantly Lincoln had stepped forward and while his legs were shuffling, he used his right arm to guide his torso and above as he guided his chest back in forth before dropping to his sides, where he weighed his whole body on his right arm.
What followed next was Lincoln hopping and spinning his body 3 times around, before leaning his shoulder into ground and used the momentum to spin himself around using his shoulders before getting back to his feet.
For the remainder of the song, Lucy was in awe seeing her brother being able to jerk, shuffle, and move his body in a manner that would make most kids his age jelly.
"So now that you know what you're getting yourself into, I hope you're prepared to get serious" said Lincoln as he began to catch his breath.
"I don't think I can do that" Lucy responded honestly, "I'm not expecting you too, just wanted to let you know what I'm serious about dancing, and so should you" said Lincoln as he began to play season 1 opening song to SPYR.
Days Later
Even though Lincoln had zero to no intentions to attending this school dance, mainly because he didn't want to leave an impression on his sisters entertaining the idea of him going out with anyone, especially ever since what Ronnie Ann did to his previous dates since last year.
No if anything, he was interested in the well being of his sister Lucy and the boy she was pining for, and if the little punk thought he could so much as steal a kiss from her, well it's a good thing Flip doesn't question anyone when selling them lighters.
The issue was that by the time he got to the dance, he didn't see Lucy, just her friends Iris and Adel.
Adel while known for being catered and pampered like a princess, she was by no means self entitled like Lola, and was actually really nice on any given situations.
Dressed in green plad skirt and algae green sweater over a white long sleeved buttoned up shirt, with the sleeved rolled to her forearms, as her green eyes and brunette short hair help her stand out.
Iris was a girl in Lincoln's grade who happen to know him, before befriending Lucy and Adel, and was willing to acknowledge Lincoln, though only when Lucy was around.
Black hair let down past her shoulders, as she wore a white striped on blue sweater, and aqua blue shorts, blue slip ons decorated with dark blue ribbons, she was the first to notice Lincoln as he approached them.
"Hey Lincoln" greeted Iris with a wave, "Greetings. So wears Lucy" asked Lincoln in his perfect poker faced tone as his face remained neutral of emotions, while Iris and Adel's pained a little, which didn't go unnoticed.
"Lucy ran out of the dance room and back into the school halls" said Irisas Lincolns demeanor turned from emotionless stare to murderous glare.
"Alright, whose the S.O.B. who hurt my sister" Lincoln said as Iris puts her hands up in a calming manner, "No one hurt her directly, just go see you sister" said Adel as Lincoln didn't need to be told twice when leaving the school's gym.
Searching up and down the halls, Lincoln didn't see no hide nor hair of Lucy as he began to panic and proceeded to run down the halls.
Eventually he heard some light sobbing coming from the girls bathroom, and never one to care about his reputation made his way inside, determined to comfort his sister first and foremost.
Approaching the stall where he heard the crying from Lincoln began to knock on the door, "Lucy are you in there" asked Lincoln, "Go away" cried a heart broken Lucy.
"Lucy, open up right now I want to talk to you" said Lincoln as he was more determined than ever to talk to Lucy, "I said to go away" cried Lucy as her cries were sounding more and more frustrated.
"Lucy Harriet Loud, I could give a rats ass if a group of girls were to walk in right now, or rumor spreads as far as to our sisters that I was determined to get inside the same stall as you right now, and I'll be out here waiting for you because I'm both worried about you and as your big brother it's my job to comfort you. Now come on out and open the door" said Lincoln as he switched off his monotone voice to endearing big brother.
After another minute of soft sobbing, the bathroom door stall unlocked with Lucy who was trying to hold in her tears, while her previous crying session ruined her mascara as it was clearly smeared across her face.
No words exchange as both siblings ran into each other and embraced with Lincoln soothing Lucy who was already crying a bit more.
Time Skip
After shooting a text for her friends to let them as guards so Lincoln could help clean Lucy up, they departed with both siblings alone walking the school halls.
"So… you want to talk about it" Lincoln asked to break the ice in his same monotone voice, "The boy that I've been like for a while was at the dance, but he was dancing with another girl" Lucy said as she felt butt hurt after the experience.
Unconsciously, Lincoln went and rubbed his head over Lucy's head while giving her a look of sympathy, "I'm sorry Luce, truly I am" said Lincoln as he has had a few moments of one sided affections that were shot down, and rejections.
"Honestly, I feel… stupid, and bad that we wasted all this time in teaching me how to dance, for nothing" said Lucy as she was feeling more and more down.
Knowing how much this dance meant a huge deal to Lucy, Lincoln knew exactly what to do as he linked his hands with Lucy's for a change, which got her attention.
"Come with me, the night is still young" said Lincoln with a smile as he lead her across the halls and out into the school parking lot, where it was vacant except for 2 cars and a minivan.
"What are we doing out here" asked Lucy as Lincoln took out a small whistle from his pocket that made a high pitched bat sound when blown into it.
Within minutes, they were surrounded by the members of the schools 'Young Morticians Club', as they all began to murmur amongst themselves, before one of them decided to talk.
"Lincoln, I never expected a none member to blow our whistle, I don't suppose you're interested in joining us" asked Bertram, president of the club.
"Don't hold your breath, you know I'm not a joiner" said Lincoln as there was more talked amongst the club members, "Then may I pray tell know as to why you have called us, more so how were you given one of our whistles" asked Bertram.
"Because I gave it to him" came a soft spoken monotone voice as everyone turned their head to see it was Haiku, who since her first and only dance with Lincoln, as left her with a rather unpleasant disfigurement courtesy of Ronnie Ann.
Bound to wear only long sleeved midnight crimson dressed, her hands barely visible to show the bandages she has, while her face was half wrapped in gauze before lifting her head to greet Lincoln.
"Lincoln darling, to what do I owe you the pleasure" Haiku asked with a smile as Lincoln began to feel some shred of guilt, but was none the less committed to help his sister to have a better night.
"I'm just redeeming a free favor, if that's alright with you and your friends" said Lincoln as Bertram turned his head to Haiku, who only nodded to what he was asking in mind.
"Sigh, very well. Tell me Lincoln, what can we do for you" asked Bertram, "By any chance you wouldn't happen to have a speaker to play some music? My sister had a rather crappy dance and well I figured I have an obligation to at least let her dance to one song tonight" explained Lincoln.
"A very noble deed. Very well, we shall provide both" said Bertram as everyone began to produce some wireless Bluetooth speakers, and began to play one of Her Endearing Rebels, aka HER the band and their song Dhampire Heart for the 2.
Instantly Lucy was taken aback ready to question her brother, who already began to take lead as they danced to the song.
About half way through the song, Haiku decided to cut in and steal a dance from Lincoln, before the song ended, along with their night.
"We did our share of the favor, and we'll leave you be" said Bertram as he and his club members disappeared into the shadows.
"So how did you like the dance" asked Lincoln with a smile, "I'll admit you not only surprised but embarrassed me a little like that, but I'm glad you did that for me" said Lucy with a smile as Lincoln did the same thing before they hugged.
"Sorry for cutting in by the way, in spite of what and how things may appear at school, your brother is not only a lady killer, but a proud soul with a heart of gold" praised Haiku.
Turning his head to Haiku, Lincoln for the longest regrets not greeting her or the other girls his sisters set him up with that night at the dance, especially since Ronnie Ann destroyed these poor girls lives.
"Haiku Listen, I'm sorry for not so much as visiting you at the hospital after…" trailed off Lincoln before Haiku gripped his hand, "Darling, me and those girls don't blame you for what happened to us, nor do we regret the night we had. If anything, it makes me happy knowing that you were worried for our well beings, and were even to risk your own when you saved us" said Haiku with a smile.
"But if you feel inclined to clean the guilt on you conscious, starting next year when we're in middle school, we plan to join the Katawa Club, and it would mean a lot if you came to visit us" said Haiku before she too left into the shadows.
Knowing that he had been forgiven for the most part, Lincoln felt an ominous feeling when he turned to Lucy who was giving that signature little sister smug smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that" asked Lincoln knowing full well why Lucy was looking at him funny, "What, can't I be happy to know that my brother is in fact a stud with the girls and they find him rather attractive" said Lucy with a smile.
"Lucy, I love you and I don't want to be the one who ruins your night, but I swear to god you tell our sisters about this" said Lincoln before Lucy linked her arms to her brother.
"Relax big brother, I would never gossip about this, since I know you'd do the same thing in return, though if you want to guarantee that I'll keep my lips sealed, all you have to do is get me a Flipee" said Lucy sweetly.
Lincoln by all means should be angry for the sudden blackmail treatment, but he didn't and merely complied as he and Lucy went to Flip's to get not only their drinks, but chocolate covered gummy worms for Lucy and a bag of salt and vinegar chips for himself.
With their night coming to an end, Lincoln and Lucy finally returned home ready to call it a night themselves, and in spite of what transpired tonight, they both can say they had the best night together with the intents of doing this again soon.
And another chapter done and delivered, I hope you guys enjoy it as always, just as always you guys leave me any reviews or PM's on not only the chapter but the stories main progression so far to this date.
Speaking of which, I know a lot of you guys are wondering more by now in what I have in store for Ronnie Ann, since she was the last character I changed in terms of personality, especially since I've been hinting it throughout these last chapters.
Unfortunately we won't be getting that chapter any time soon, but I will say starting next chapter we'll be introduced to Clyde at long last to see how they get along now, given how much different Lincoln is now.
Until then expect more hijinks and references, be it direct or indirect references like I did in this chapter, in this brother and sister tales of adventures.
