Chapter 25: Little Loud Blue

It was Friday. The Loud sisters were in the living room, trying to figure out what movie they were going to watch this evening.

"Guys, we should literally watch Lawfully Blonde!" Lori suggested, showing the DVD.

"Oh, I love that movie!" Leni said.

"No way! We should watch something with action!" Lynn suggested, showing her DVD. "Like Wacky Chan."

"I say we watch Cutie and the Creature" Lola suggested, holding her DVD.

"I prefer something sci-fi, like "Travel to the Past"." Lisa said, holding her DVD.

"No. Something horrifying, like The Slashing." Lucy said, holding her DVD.

"Forget that. Let's watch the Vehicles movie." Lana said, showing her DVD.

"I always get a laugh out of Home By Myself." Luan said, showing her DVD.

"Dudes, you can't go wrong with a musical movie like Cream." Luna said, showing her DVD.

The sisters all started fighting over what to watch. Then someone came downstairs. It was Lincoln, and he had a bitter look on his face. The sisters stopped fighting and noticed him.

"Lincoln, is something wrong?" Leni asked.

"Well, look who finally decided to join us." Lori said rudely.

Then Lincoln pushed all his sisters away from the living room as they complained.

"Hey! What's the matter with you?!" Lori said. "Stop pushing us!"

"You guys are being too loud and I want to watch TV in peace!" Lincoln said angrily.

"You can't tell us to leave!" Lola yelled, getting in his face. "We live here too!"

"SO MOVE!" Lincoln yelled back. Lola was surprised at Lincoln's outburst, and so were the other sisters.

"Uh...ok." Lola said nervously and backed away.

"You know what, I'll leave instead." Lincoln walked out the front door and left, leaving his sisters confused.

"Well, that was awkward." Luan commented.

"Yeah, what's Lincoln's deal?" Lana wondered.

"It appears a dark cloud is hanging over Lincoln's head, guys." Lisa explained. "Our brother is a mere shell of the awkward, reliable white haired geek we know and love."

"We should go cheer him up." Leni suggested.

"Ah, the guy's a big baby." Lynn said.

"Yeah, he's probably just got gas." Lori said.

"I know someone else who has gas." Luan muttered to Luna.

"What was that?" Lori narrowed her eyes at Luan.

"Nothing." Luan said sheepishly.

"Dudes, let's just go find Lincoln and ask what's up." Luna said.

The sisters go out after their brother.

Lincoln is seen sitting on a stump at the park and his sisters arrive there.

"Lincoln, is there anything we can do to make you feel better?" Leni asked.

"Hey guys, is that a white haired beaver on a log?" Lynn teases.

"Yeah, I bet his buck teeth are big enough to chew through it." Lori teased.

"Shut up!" Lincoln yelled.

"You shut up!" Lori yelled back.

"Dudes, quit it! Our bro's having a bad day!" Luna scolded.

"Lincoln's a wuss." Lynn commented. She went up to him. "Hey Stinkoln, I'm gonna give you to the count of three to get over yourself!"

She tugged on his shirt and held up a fist. "One! Smile you miserable-Two! Snap out of it ya-"

Lincoln grabbed her arm and flipped her onto her back.

"Ow…" Lynn groaned.

Leni went over to Lincoln and sat next to him. "Hey Linky."

Lincoln doesn't respond.

"Do you know what I like when I'm feeling crabby?" She hugs him. "A big hug to squeeze those cares away."

Lincoln looks uneased. He pushes Leni away. "Touch me again and I'll turn you into a human pretzel!"

Leni looked upset.

"Wow, that's literally my reaction when people use my phone without permission." Lori said, stunned.

"Lincoln, if you care to share your feelings with me, I'll be right here for you dear brother."

Luna goes next to Lincoln too.

Leni notices Lincoln scraping the bark off the stump with his bare fingers. He gives Leni a doomy glare. Leni walks off, a bit scared. "Well, let's leave Lincoln to gather his thoughts, guys."

"Yes, a little self-introspection may do him a world of good." Lisa agreed.

The sisters start to leave the park.

"So what are you gonna do now, Leni? Knit him a sweater?" Lori said sarcastically.

"Oh, that's a great idea Lori." Leni said, not catching her sister's sarcasm. With the sisters gone, a grumpy Lincoln was left alone at the park.

The sisters were back at home, looking for stuff to cheer up their brother. Lana, Lola, Lucy, and Luan gathered belongings from Lincoln's room.

"Ok, I think we've got enough things." Lana said.

"Even his dirty Ace Savvy undie." Lola mentioned.

They walked out with Lana and Luan carrying the box. The rest of the sisters were in the hallway.

"I've got my guitar." Luna said.

"Me and Lori made a sweater for Lincoln." Leni said.

Lynn was eating a meatball sub.

"Lynn, this is no time for meatball subs." Lucy said.

"I was hungry." Lynn said. "And I'll save a meatball for Lincoln or whatever."

"Well, in case none of this stuff works, I concocted this potion that might calm Lincoln's nerves." Lisa said as she showed her potion.

"Sounds promising." Lori said.

"Guys, check this out!" Luan held up one of Lincoln's comics. "Lincoln has a comic called "Picking Up Chicks".

"Oooooooh!" The girls gathered around Luan as she looked inside the book. Instead, they saw a page filled with actual baby chicks. The girl's excitement turned to confusion.

"I didn't even know they had those kinds of comics." Lisa said.

The sisters return to the park. They see one of the kids from Lincoln's school, Chandler, shooting spitballs at Lincoln. Lincoln just looks irritated.

"Hey, stop picking on our brother!" Lana yelled.

"But he's so fun to pick on." Chandler said, then laughed. Then Lincoln walked up to Chandler and punched him right in the eye. Chandler was scared by Lincoln's act of violence and ran away. Lincoln went back to sit on the stump.

"He's still not happy yet?" Lynn questioned.

"Not even a smirk." Luna said.

The twins went up to Lincoln.

"Hey Linky, I got you an Ace Savvy comic." Lola said.

"And you can read it in your Ace Savvy underwear." Lana said. They handed the stuff over to Lincoln. Lincoln hesitated, but then he put the underwear over Lola's face. Lola freaked out and ran away. Lana laughed at this. "Now that's what I call "overwear"!"

But then Lincoln hit Lana with the comic book. Lana walked back to her sisters. "Ok, your turn, Luan."

Luan brought Lincoln a pie with a candle on it. Luan put on a party hat and put one on Lincoln's head. Then she began to sing.

"Oh, for he's a jolly good brother, for he's a jolly good brother, for he's a jolly-"

Lincoln tossed the pie right in Luan's face. Luan came back to her sisters, and whipped the pie off her face.

"Your turn, Luna."

And so the other sisters tried to cheer up their brother. Luna sang a song on her acoustic guitar, which made Lincoln break the guitar. Leni and Lori presented their sweater to him, but he found it uncomfortable so he threw it in the mud. Lynn offered Lincoln a meatball, but he didn't accept it. She shrugged and ate it. Lucy brings a ghost hunter's vacuum from the tv show A.R.R.G.H and shows it to Lincoln, but bats fly out of it, spooking him out. Lucy smiles sheepishly as she had just remembered her bats were napping in there. Now Luan and Lynn were putting on a puppet show for Lincoln, with the others sisters watching too. Lynn was holding a monster toy and Luan had a robot.

"Hey Mr. Monster, our moody friend here sure could use a good chuckle." Luan said as she acted as the robot. She told a joke. "Say, why was the robot mad? Because people kept pushing his buttons!" She laughed. "Get it?"

"I hate puppet shows." Lynn said and dropped the toy monster.

"You're not even trying. You pick that up!"

Lincoln pressed a button on the robot Luan was holding and a laser beam shot out of it, burning the puppet show and the top of Lynn and Luan's hairs. The sisters were shocked.

"Nice toy." Lynn commented.

"Uh Lisa, how about you use that potion now?" Luan said uneasily, after she dropped Lincoln's robot.

"Now would be the appropriate time." Lisa agreed. Lisa used an eye dropper and poured some potion drops onto Lincoln, who growled at her. "This is for your own good, male sibling."

Lisa backed away and the sisters waited for the effect to happen, but Lincoln still remained grumpy.

"Hmm...this might not be the right potion." Lisa said.

"What?! Now what do we do?" Lola yelled.

Leni searches through the box and finds something. "Guys, I found Lincoln's Bun Bun costume. It looks almost like the right size for Lynn. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

The sisters looked at Lynn and smiled in a hopeful manner. Lynn immediately knew what they wanted.

"No! No way! Forget it! I ain't doing it!"

"But Lynn, look at him!" Leni begged, pointing at Lincoln.

"If Lincoln doesn't cheer up soon he could become a perpetual mope." Lisa said.

"Do you realize how miserable our lives would be?" Lori said.

Lynn hesitated. She reluctantly decided to put on the Bun Bun suit but was still frowning. She started doing a bunny hop.

"Hop hop hop. Look at me, I'm a bunny." Lynn said in a grumpy tone. "Hop hop hop. You love bunnies, bunnies make you happy. Hop hop hop. How about a nice juicy carrot?"

Lincoln went up to Lynn, stepped on her foot, shoved the bunny ears in her mouth, and pushed her down.

"You like, forget to shake your cottontail, Lynn." Leni said.

Lynn lost her patience with Lincoln. "That's it!" She tore off the costume and marched over to Lincoln. "I've had it up to here with your bad mood! Crack a smile! Bust a gut! Be happy!" She slapped him in the back of the head. "Get over it!"

This made Lincoln reach his breaking point. He growled in anger as his skin turned green. Then he started to become muscular.

"Uh, what's happening?" Luna questioned.

"Uh oh! I gave Lincoln the wrong potion!" Lisa explained. "This is my rage inducing potion!"

"Why would you even have a potion like that?" Lori asked.

"It was a failed experiment!"

Lincoln grew into a Hulk like creature. He yelled very loudly. "BIG TROUBLE!"

He yelled so loud that he made Leni faint and the other sisters looked frightened. He then went on a rampage through the park. Smashing things and throwing them in the air. Some kids ran away in fear. The sisters panicked and hid. Lynn dragged Leni with her.

"I want to be alone!" Lincoln demanded.

As the sisters were hiding, Lucy got an idea. "I think I know what to do. It's weird, but I'll do it."

Lucy ran over to Lincoln.

"Oh, this oughta be good." Lynn said sarcastically.

"Be careful, Lucy!" Luna warned.

Lucy pulled on his shoe as Lincoln was struggling against her. She managed to pull it off and a pebble fell out. Lincoln wiggled his toes and noticed that the soreness in his foot was gone. He smiled and shrunk back to his normal size, then his skin turned back to its normal color.

"Ah, I feel better now." Lincoln said happily.

"You're welcome." Lucy said.

Then the sisters came over and Lori picked up the pebble. "A pebble? Your bad mood was all because you had a pebble in your shoe?"

The sisters stared in disbelief.

"Well, I didn't know." Lincoln admitted.

Then Lynn fell to the ground and began to crazily laugh.

"Looks like someone had a good day, huh guys?" Lincoln said and Lynn laughed harder.
