This Cute Preppy Blonde has her Gothic Older Brother be out with their Eldest Sister and her Best Friend tonight
Disclaimers I don't own the Loud House, please support any to all official releases.
It was that time of year again in the Loud house where everyone who had a date, would be going out tonight or while everyone stayed home and fill their stomachs with sweets.
As for Lucy and Lincoln, they already had their romantic date set, they'd go home with Lincoln ordering them both a pizza to share, watch Scott Cleric: Vs the World, and probably end the night with some quality snuggling.
At least that was the initial plan, since Lincoln would learn that there's to be a change of plans for tonight.
Ever since Lori broke up with Bobby, she's felt the feeling of post break up blues for a while now as she's been strong up until this time of year, which didn't go unnoticed.
So naturally after asking her directly, Lucy thought it would be a much better idea if Lincoln were to treat her to a good time.
So coming home after picking up the last bouquet of roses, Lincoln entered the front door to see Lucy sitting on the couch waiting for him patiently.
"Hey Lucy, I got you something" said Lincoln as he approached his sister and handed her the roses.
"Aw Lincoln, you're so sweet" said Lucy as she leaned in and planted a peck on her brothers cheek, "Anything for you Luce, so ready to eat some pizza and chill" said Lincoln as he had the number on speed dial.
"About that" said Lucy as Lincoln felt he wasn't going to like what she was about to say.
"So listen as you know, Lori had broke up with Bobby for some time now" said Lucy, "Yeah thank god she finally dumped that jackass to that little psycho sister of his" said Lincoln as the memory was still fresh in his mind.
"I know how you feel, but can you just listen to me first" said Lucy as Lincoln obliged.
"So with that being said, Lori has been feeling down recently especially since this just so happens to be Valentine's Day" said Lucy as Lincoln began to sigh.
"And let me guess, you want me to take her out on a romantic time tonight" said Lincoln, "I sure hope not, you're suppose to save anything romantic with yours truly" said Lucy as Lincoln could only roll his eyes and smirk.
"But yes, I think it would be nice of you to take her out and do something nice for her, make her feel special for just one evening" said Lucy.
"Sigh, do I have to, I mean we've been planning this night for a while now" said Lincoln, "I know it sucks, believe me I was more than tempted to just ignore the situation and let Lori it my share of the sibling chocolates you gave us all this year, but I know it's the right thing to do and much as you do" said Lucy.
After sighing once more and taking a good minute to let out a groan, Lincoln began to relax and accepted that there was no way of him winning this argument.
"I swear only you can convince me to do stuff like this" said Lincoln, "No, I think you're nice already, just need to be nudged in the right direction" said Lucy with a sweet smile.
"Now enough talk, it's time for you to be best brother right now" said Lucy as she lead Lori into the kitchen who was just finish eating the last bit of cookie dough flavored ice cream in the house.
"Lori, I got some good news, you're not going to be dateless tonight" said Lucy as Lori had her spoon still in her mouth.
"Ugh, Lori do you want to go somewhere, I don't know or care, with me tonight, just the 2 of us" said Lincoln.
"You couldn't try and be a little more sympathetic twerp" said Lori, "And you couldn't try to look more presentable" said Lincoln before Lucy bumped her elbow in him.
"I mean, you look beautiful" said Lincoln, "Liar, I look like a mess" said Lori, "Not for long, Lincoln why not you wait here and eat an apple, me and Lori will be right back" said Lucy as she began to pull Lori out of her chair and up the stairs for who knows what.
Making a spot for himself back in the living room, Lincoln took a moment to browse through his phone and photo collection and selected the one that contained a file of nothing but photos of Sapphire Scilla, his waifu.
"You wouldn't make me spend tonight with my sister, would you Sapphire" Lincoln said to one of the many photos.
Nor would you allow me to date Lucy, much less share me with her, thought Lincoln as he continued to browse.
After waiting for 10 minutes, Lucy and Lori finally came down stairs at long last.
"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting… Lori Loud" said Lucy as she introduced Lori after going through a necessary makeover.
Out of her everyday attire, Lori was now dressed in a khaki colored business skirt, black knee stockings with garter belts attached, and a sky blue button up shirt, as a tuft of her hair was held in a ribbon as light make up was applied onto her face.
"Well Lincoln, don't you have something to say" said Lucy, "Ok now you look beautiful Lori" said Lincoln as Lori began to smirk, "I know right" said Lori as both began to head out the house and into her car that she bought off of Mr. Grouse.
"Have fun you 2, just not too much fun without me" said Lucy as she waved them off.
Once they got in the car, Lori began to just drive the road as Lincoln rested his face on the back of his hand.
"So where to Lincoln" asked Lori to Lincoln's surprise, "I figured you'd had something In mind, and I'd just roll with it" said Lincoln.
"And here I thought you could recommend a nice restaurant out of the Royal Woods area that you had planned to take Lucy out to someday" said Lori, "Reminder, all of our dates are here at home behind locked doors and closed windows" said Lincoln.
"Well I must say that is pretty disappointing to hear, so here's some free advice, look into a nice restaurant out of town alright" said Lori as Lincoln rolled his eyes, "Noted" said Lincoln.
"Fine, since we're going on a date as siblings, we'll go somewhere local, but I expect you to pay for the full bill" said Lori, "Well aren't you just thoughtful" Lincoln said sarcastically.
"Oh come on, I'm sure you'd never go Dutch with Lucy" said Lori as Lincoln was ready to argue, but couldn't cause she was right.
Driving into town, Lori took Lincoln to Pan's surprisingly enough as they both began to exit out of the car.
"Pan's huh" said Lincoln as he found the after thought of having to smell Lori's farts on the way home to be unappealing beyond words.
"Lynn said that she had a great night here when you took her and Lucy here one night, so it's time for you to recreate that magic with me" said Lori as Lincoln decided to roll with it at this point.
"Welcome to Pan's, how many will be in your party today" asked the waiter, "2 people today" said Lincoln, "Hai, wait here while I find you a table, por favor".
As they continued to wait, someone caught Lori's attention.
It was her former rival turned friend, Carol as she was eating alone with a sad look on her face, which she could suspect why.
"Gomenasai, we've got your guys table ready" said the waiter, leading them to their table.
As they got to their table, Lincoln would keep his eyes on the menu, giving Lori the opportunity to talk to Carol.
"Hey Carol" said Lori getting her fellow blondes attention, "Lori, what are you doing here" asked Carol as she snapped from her stupor.
"My kid brother wanted to treat me out tonight, cause you know I'm single now, but enough of me, how about you" asked Lori as Carol let out a sigh.
"Well unlike you, my date decided to flake on me" said Carol as she put down her phone and began to drink her ice tea.
"Sorry to hear that" said Lori sympathetically as she was well aware that her friends love life was anything but worth bragging about, which Lori found to be a little weird.
In every way since they had their rivalry before their friendship, these 2 were heavily alike in every way from academics, sports, looks, popularity, and just about every other skill, with the sole difference was that Carol was a single child and Lori had grew up as the eldest of 10 younger siblings.
Not sure if that has anything to do with what was the major issue, but Lori can fix this one that's in front of her.
"Well I hate to leave you here all alone, why not join us" said Lori with a smile, "Oh um, I don't know, I mean I don't know if your brother would be alright with it" said Carol as Lori began to pull her to their table.
"It's fine, besides my little brother has had a crush on you for the longest" said Lori as this surprised Carol since while she did find Lincoln nice, the whole Goth thing was definitely off putting.
"Oh Lincoln, guess who's joining us for dinner" said Lori as Lincoln looked up from his menu and widened his eyes a little.
"Carol" said Lincoln, "Hey Lincoln, how are you" greeted Carol nervously, "Oh well you know, I've just started middle school".
"That's nice" said Carol as they all sat down together, "And you" asked Lincoln, "I'm in the second trimester of college like Lori here".
After they had their pleasant, if not awkward introduction, Lori and Carol decided to spend the time together and chat as Lincoln looked down on his phone and began to text Lucy
'Hey Lucy, what have you been up too' texted Lincoln as he waited for a second before his phone buzzed.
'Just watching a movie with our sisters here, how about you and Lori' texted back Lucy.
'So apparently her friend Carol just so happened to be here and Lori decided to drag her along to sit with us' texted Lincoln as he would wait for a solid minute before Lucy texted him back.
'The same Carol you had a crush on before we started dating' texted Lucy as Lincoln sighed before answering back 'Yeah, that one' he texted before his phone almost buzzed instantly.
'I know that you wouldn't dare cheat on me, and knowing you, you'd be the gentlemen and make sure she has a fun time, but promise me that no matter what, don't think it excuses you to give her a kiss, even if it's on the cheek' texted Lucy.
Admittingly there was a part of Lincoln who did had a crush on Carol, but he knew better than to ruin what he had.
'I promise nothing will happen, and if you have to interrogate Lori once we get home to take my word, so be it' texted Lincoln as Lucy sent him a smiley face emote.
Once he had finished texting Lucy, the trio began to order as Lori and Carol continued to chat, but as they ate, Carol would occasionally steal glances of Lincoln.
Not sure how to think of it, Lincoln just shrugged it off as they continued to eat, before he went and payed the bill.
As they were all heading out the restaurant, it was time they said farewell.
"Thank you, both of you for saving my night" said Carol, "Anytime Carol" said Lori as the 2 friends hugged it out.
"And you, you were an absolute gentlemen" said Carol as she leaned forward and kissed Lincoln on the cheek causing him to blush.
"Also if you get older and still find me attractive, by all means look me up" said Carol as she left Lincoln speechless as Lori placed her hand over her mouth, while mouthing the word 'wow'.
Once they got in the car, Lincoln was finally able to think again before turning to see Lori.
"Well aren't you just a little lady killer, you philanderer" said Lori teasingly as Lincoln began to grimace, "Promise not to mention this to Lucy" said Lincoln.
"Your secrets safe with me, though I must admit I never knew Carol liked them young, but then again you are mature for your age" said Lori as Lincoln was surprised that Carol, at least for the time being, was a shotacon.
Once they got home, they all saw their siblings just hanging about and causing chaos around the house due to their sugar high.
"Lincoln, you came back" said Lucy as she ran up to him and planted him kisses all over his face.
"Good to see you too Lucy" said Lincoln as he tried to kiss her back, but Lucy was pecking on his face like a wood pecker.
"We had a good time by the way, speaking of, I totally owe you both big time" said Lori as she went and kissed Lincoln on the cheek.
While it became accepted that it's fine for Lincoln and Lucy to kiss without having to bombard him with kisses, but should any other sister do it, and Lincoln's gonna be marked, and you can guarantee that on a day like Valentine's Day that he should be grateful that he wasn't either dating all of his sisters or was the MC to a harem anime.
So after everyone saw what Lori did everyone went and dog piled on Lincoln and began to cover him with endless kisses, leaving him felt spent, but smiling.
Weeks Later
Lori had made good in her promise, and while she couldn't have set them up to say a romantic trip like New York or California, Canada definitely had its charms and beauty.
Right now Lincoln and Lucy were enjoying their stay that Lori had hooked them up via Sky BNB, where they 2 were enjoying the Canadian version of the American nachos, poutine.
"Wow, Canadians have really pushed fry snacking to a whole new level" said Lincoln, "Of course you risk getting more fatter and increase your chance of heart failure a lot quicker by eating this stuff" said Lucy.
"Anyways we got to hurry up if we want to get on set and witness them filming the Kid Turbo 2" said Lincoln as they devoured their grub, before slipping on their thickest winter ware.
Granted it didn't kept them entirely warm, but it did give them and excuse to walk close and being affectionate in public without having to worry about anyone who knew them to judge them.
Well there you guys go, thank you all for waiting for this chapter to be posted, fun fact originally when I started writing this I actually wanted to do a bit of a Scott Pilgrim parody where Lucy would have had to fight Lincoln's 7 evil exes, but I chose not to and save the idea for another day, maybe.
Foot note to that, I regret never having got into the Scott Pilgrim fandom until 10 years later, but hey, I own the movie, I'm still waiting to purchase a physical hard copy of the game, not caring for what system or console, and damn it do I wished that Scott had decided to chose Knives at the end of the movie as shown in the alternative ending, while also wishing that Chris Evans character Lucas Lee was real cause damn it he's honestly your Humble Narrators newest husbando, right next to Robert Joseph Macready from Fallout 4 and Naked Snake from MGS3.
Until next time guys, most likely next chapter will be focused on Lincoln going into middle school, trying, but not really, fitting in with everyone, but otherwise be safe, be good people, and please support your local fandoms.
