Chapter 6: It's The Only Way

The sun arose, peaking behind the grassy hills that complemented the orange tint that filled the sky. The brightness the sun produced glistened through the windows into the Casagrande household. Inside lied Ronnie Anne, who was still fast asleep and seemed that she's been asleep for quite some time now, while Lincoln was adjacent to her sleeping peacefully as well.

They had both been playing the new Galactic Space Wars all night until they both fell asleep, due to exhaustion. And once they fell asleep, Ronnie Anne's brother, Bobby Santiago, took them both to Ronnie Anne's bed to sleep for the night. And there they both were, still sleeping on the bed from the previous night.

Lincoln was the first to wake up.

"Ughhh" Lincoln groaned, still fairly tried from last night trying to get all the sleep from his eyes. He turned to see Ronnie Anne, who was still sleeping and thought to himself.

Y'know Ronnie is kinda cute when she sleeps.

Lincoln then realized what he was thinking to himself and quickly tried to change the subject.

I mean-she's not thatcute. Just, nice.

Lincoln couldn't deal with himself anymore, and decided to just get ready for the day.

He walked into the bathroom and proceeded to grab his toothbrush and throughly brush his teeth, to make sure that he still had his pearly whites. He smiled in the mirror and saw his big toothy grin that he's all too familiar with. He then grabbed his casual clothes and made his way down the hall to grab a bite to eat.

He saw a box of Zombie-Bran and thought to himself:

Huh, didn't know Ronnie Anne was into Zombie-Bran...

He grabbed a bowl and poured out all the cereal to eat. While he was eating, he noticed a figure walking in the hallways. He turned to see what it was, only to be greeted by Ronnie Anne.

"Hey Lame-o." Ronnie Anne said in a tired tone.

"Hey." Lincoln responded in a similar manner.

Just like Lincoln, Ronnie Anne felt tired. She wasn't as tired as Lincoln was, but was still tired nonetheless. She saw Lincoln walk out of her room, but decided to sleep in for a few more minutes just to get extra sleep before walking in the kitchen herself.

"I didn't know you liked Zombie-Bran" Lincoln said.

"Neither did I, until I tried it. And I had to admit, it was really good." Ronnie Anne replied.

"How much have you bought this past month?" Lincoln asked.

"Probably a good few or so, I can't get enough of them. Especially my mom." Ronnie Anne muttered on that last sentence.

As Lincoln finished his bowl, he put it in the sink to wash it later.

"Sooo what do you wanna do?" Lincoln asked.

"Well, we could skateboard if you want to." Ronnie Anne suggested

Gulp

"What?" Lincoln asked.

"Y'know, we could go skateboarding at the park-wait. Do you not know how to skateboard?" Ronnie Anne asked.

Lincoln feared for this question. Really and truly, he never liked skateboarding. He wasn't a big fan of fast moving objects, and to ride on one really wasn't his cup of tea. Now being presented with the opportunity, it's making his head spin like a tornado.

"Well, you see...the thing is...in hindsight-"

"Lincoln you don't know how to skateboard do you?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"I-I-well...no" Lincoln admitted.

"Well hey, it's fine. Besides, I can teach you." Ronnie Anne said. "Don't you want one of your bestest friends to teach you how to skateboard?"

"Well, I mean...It could be fun" Lincoln pondered. "But what if I fall? Or crash? Or get or hurt? Or even worse, die??" Lincoln started freaking out.

"Lincoln, Lincoln!" Ronnie Anne said. "Listen, it's gonna be okay. I'll will help you in any way I can. What do you say?"

Lincoln thought on it for a second.

Just seeing Ronnie Anne giving him a kind, sweet, and genuine smile, gave Lincoln a feeling that he really couldn't describe. It just felt, nice. But nonetheless, he took his hand in hers and they proceeded to head out the door.


Once every sister was compiled into the room, they all started chattering amongst themselves for a good few minutes or so, until Lori hit the podium with her shoe.

BAM BAM

Everyone went silent.

"Alright girls, I think we all know why we're all cramped up in my room, right?" Lori asked.

Every sister nodded their head yes.

"Ok then. Now, we need to find some way to get Lincoln back. Any ideas?"

Every single sister had their hands raised.

Lori picked on Leni.

"Okay Leni, give us your idea."

Leni proceeded to head into her closet to pull out a semi-large piece of paper, and a sharpie. She then grabbed some tape to explain her idea.

Leni began talking. "Okay, so I have an amazing idea on how we can bring Linky back! And it's like, very simple. All we need to do is make a totes cute outfit and give it to Linky as a surprise gift. Maybe then, he'll come back home!"

Leni was met with a lot of confused faces starring right back at her.

"Leni, you do know that since Lincoln might still hate us, he might tear that outfit?" Luna suggested.

"Or, he might even outright refuse the offer?" Lynn added.

Leni then realized that her idea wasn't good enough.

"Aw, who am I kidding? I'm dumb. Of course Lincoln wouldn't like it." Leni started to tear up a little.

"No Leni, you're not dumb. It's just that, maybe Lincoln won't appreciate the gift as much as we would." Luan said.

"Really!?" Leni surprisingly asked.

"Yes, Really" Luan confirmed.

This made Leni more happy. "Aww, thanks Luan. You're the best!

"Hahaha, I try." Luan joked.

"Alright, any other ideas?" Lori wondered.

Lola perked up. "Oh, me me me! I have one! Please pick me Lori! I promise it'll be good!"

Lori rolled her eyes in amusement. "Alright Lola, you're up next.

"Yesss!!" Lola squealed with excitement. "Okay, here's my idea! What if...we put on a spec-tac-ular show. Just for Lincoln? We can have lights, runways, an audience, judges, fame, beauty-"

"Okay, okay Lola. I think we get the point." Lori said.

"Yeah, I think I've heard from Miss Pretty-Princess for long enough" Lana stated. "I think I need to go take a leak first."

"Hold on now Lana, you can't leave yet!" Lori said. "We haven't closed the meeting yet."

"Fine, I guess I'll just piss my pants then." Lana mocked.

"Lana! Language!" Lori yelled.

"Sorry..." Lana apologized.

"Anyways Lola, while that sounds...interesting, it would be way too expensive for us, so let's just stick with something more simple, okay?"

"okay..." Lola murmured

"C'mon guys, there's gotta be something that can work. Does anyone have any more ideas?" Lori asked.

"How about me?" Lisa suggested.

"Sure, Lisa" Lori said.

"Thank you eldest sibling. Now, clearly the correct answer was in front of everyone's noses. Why don't we just find Lincoln ourselves and see if he'll come back home with us?" Lisa suggested.

Everyone started chatting rather loudly this time. And everyone seemed to agree that Lisa's idea was great. Even Lola and Leni thought so. And Lori seemed to also be on board too.

"Well, it looks like my decision is final. I'm going with Lisa's idea. How about everyone else?" Lori asked.

Every sister raised their hand.

"Alright, Lisa idea it is then." Lori said.

"It pays to be the smartest in the family" Lisa slightly smirked to herself after saying that.

After everyone was on board, they decided that they were all gonna go find Lincoln.

Today.

Once every sister left Lori and Leni's room they failed to notice that there was one person that was left behind.

Lynn Sr was listening on the conversation the entire time.
