Hello all and welcome back to my very first fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it and feel compelled to continue reading as the story continues.

Sorry this chapter took so long. I decided to rather do one long one instead of three short ones.

Chapter 7: A Sinful Gathering

To most people Lincoln Loud was just your average twenty-one year old. Well as average as any twenty-one year old stepping into the lion's den could be

"What do you mean we're late?" Luna shouted storming into the house.

"What don't you get? You're late. It's an easy enough concept, even for someone like you." A woman answered haughtily.

Only once inside did Lincoln get a good look at the owner of the voice. She was younger than Luna, and her looks showed it. Her face had no signs of aging and her body was what you'd call tight. Like Sam she had long blonde hair, but hers was more golden and kept in a loose ponytail. She reminded Lincoln of one of those hot yoga moms you'd see at the gym.

"So this is him?" She asked giving Lincoln a once over. "Hmm, he isn't that bad looking. Maybe just a haircut…" She said lifting a lock of his shaggy white hair. "Ugh, and some conditioner."

Luna quickly worked herself in-between the two. "Knock it off, Lola. You're gonna scare the poor guy away." She said shoving her younger sister back.

Lola sneered. "Oh? I thought that was your thing."

The ex-rock star's face started turning red. "I swear to the gods of rock, Lola. I'm gonna kick your ass!" She yelled so loud her voice started to crack.

"Uh-huh. Yeah, let's see how well that goes for you this time." The younger woman said eyeing her manicure.

"Babe, this is neither the time nor the place." Sam said reaching over and grabbing hold of Luna's shoulders. "You know she's only doing it to try and get you riled up."

Luna grit her teeth. She so wanted to let loose and punch Lola in her perfect face, but she knew Sam would disapprove. She loathed violence.

Pleased with herself Lola gave Lincoln a little wink. "Well come on cutie, we don't have all day." She said hair whipping Luna in the face as she walked into the living room.

'So that's an adult Lola.' He could see how someone like her might class with Luna.

Watching Sam and Luna walk into the living room Lincoln turned to the still open front door. This was his last chance to escape. It would be so easy. They'd never find him in the dark...

"So, are you going to run away again?"

Lincoln felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. "W-what the hell?" He quickly turned around. Standing behind him was a pale woman with painted black lips and a simple black bob and bangs that covered her eyes. He instinctively knew who she was. "Lucy." She looked so... different. Lincoln had always imagined her growing up to be tall and thin like the mother from "The Monsters Family".

She still wore dark colours, though they were far more subdued. She had on a dark grey sweater, black pants and some very casual looking black flats. It reminded him of those shoes mothers wore around the house. The biggest difference was her size. This Lucy was tubby, yet not unattractively so. She just had, as Clyde would put it, more to love. Her large waist and soft smile gave her a caring motherly appearance. The type everyone loved to hug.

"We'll be hurt, but I won't stop you." She said.

He could. He really could. He could leave right now and be done with all of this. "I think…" But instead Lincoln slowly closed the door. "…I'll stay."

"I'm glad." She smiled at him.

Lincoln grew tense as the shouting started back up. This time it was joined by a voice he now knew belonged to the other Lynn. "I don't want to go in there."

"Neither do I." Lucy said looking in the direction of the noisy living room. "Let's sit a bit." She gestured to staircase.

"Good idea." He said taking a seat. When they were younger they used to sit and talk on those steps for hours on end. "You look so..."

"I know, Lincoln." Her voice held no anger or irritation. "You tell me how beautiful I am every day." Lucy said sitting down next to him.

He knew she knew that wasn't what he meant, and he hated himself for thinking it in the first place." Yeah. I've got good taste." He tried his best not to sound like a complete asshole.

She gave his knee a pat. "You're a good person, Lincoln."

He closed his eyes tight. "How do you know that? How do you know I'm good? I could just be using all of you to get home."

She gave his knee another pat. "The same could be said of us, could it not? How do you know we aren't just using you to get him back?"

"…" Lincoln hadn't thought of that. He might just be some kind of expendable tool. One they could toss away once they were done with.

"I can see it in your eyes. They look just like his." Lucy said turning his face towards her.

"You mean the other me?" He asked.

She gave him a nod. "Yes."

"Could you maybe tell me about him?" He still didn't know much about this other him.

"We should go. It's gotten quiet." She said choosing not to answer his question.

"I guess you're right…" Taking a deep breath Lincoln pushed himself up off of the stairs. "Ugh, my body is killing me." He groaned. He felt like he'd run a triathlon. "Oh here, let me help you up." He offered her a hand.

"Thank you, Lincoln." Lucy said as she stood up and gave him an unexpected hug. "Don't worry."

Stepping up to the living room entrance Lincoln wondered the reason behind walling it off the way they did. The bottom floor of the "Loud House" in his universe had always been more open planned.

'One last big breath.' He told himself. 'You're a big boy now. You don't need your mother to write your name in the back of your underwear anymore.' His face grew stern as he stepped into the living room. 'You can do that all by yourself now. Damn, I should have been a motivational speaker.' He thought stepping into the room.

And just like that his brave face faltered…

The group of women in the living room was made up of those he'd met earlier as well as a few he'd yet to meet. The shortest of them was Lynn, who now wore a red hoodie and sweatpants. She'd taken up a spot on the armrest of one of the couches on the far left side of the room. To her left stood Lori. She'd obviously positioned herself in the center of the couches directly across from where he had entered. To his immediate left were Luna and Sam. Luna had taken up a spot on the floor with Sam sitting directly behind her on a chair.

To Lincoln's right stood Lisa. The young genius, now dressed in a white lab coat, didn't bother looking at him. She had far more pressing matters than acknowledging him. Hopefully one of those involved getting him home.

To her right Lola sat with one leg crossed over the other. The young blonde giving Lincoln a flirtatious finger waggle as one of her pink stilettos carelessly hung from her toes. The look in her eyes reminded him of a predator stalking its prey. On the couch next to her was a someone Lincoln had yet to be introduced to, but judging by how similar the two looked, he felt it safe to assume she was Lola's older twin sister, Lana. She, like her younger twin, had kept in shape. She looked lean and her choice in clothing was casual. What stood out most to Lincoln was the lack of her signature red baseball cap. Instead her long blonde hair had been braided and now casually hung over her left shoulder.

On a chair between Lana and Lori sat a mousy looking woman with straw-like brown hair that hung just past her jaw line. If Lincoln had any skill reading body language he'd have realized just how uncomfortable she was with the whole situation. More so than anyone else in the room. She wore a plain-looking yellow and orange checkered shirt and khakis. Was what, Luan? What happened to her? What happened to the boisterous girl he knew growing up? Lincoln couldn't believe his eyes. She was so different. He'd make sure to find out what happened to her later.

On the couch next to Lynn was Lucy, who somehow had managed to get past everyone and silently taken up seat. Joining her on the couch was a woman with shoulder length blonde hair and a smile so bright it could part the clouds. Leni. He really missed her. No matter how upset Lincoln got, Leni could always calm him down. This version of her was older and had some laugh lines around her mouth, but she still looked good. Her body had grown into a pear shape, with hips even wider than Luna's. Something her green knee length dress helped accentuate.

"Hi Linky." She said giving him a friendly wave. "Have a seat."

"H-hi." Lincoln said returning the gesture. The only seat available to him was an old wooden stool. One directly in front of everyone. He hated being the center of attention. Back when he was a child he loved it, but as he grew older he'd gotten a lot more insecure. Most people do.

"Is everyone here?" Lori asked looking about the room.

"We're still missing Lily." Said the woman he was pretty sure was Lana.

The older blonde ran a hand over her face in frustration. "Where is she? I literally said everyone needs to be here."

Lana shrugged. "She said she'd be here once she finished her shift and got something from her apartment."

Lori's left eye twitched wildly. "Fine, we'll just do this without her. Lisa, you may begin."

Lisa nodded. "Very well, eldest sibling unit. Let me start by officially introducing you to Lincoln Loud. Or should I say a Lincoln Loud. One from an entirely different universe set more than a decade in the past."

A hand shot up. "Wait, so this isn't just Linky turned young again?" Leni asked. The poor woman was as confused as ever.

"I'm afraid not. Now if I may continue, I ran some tests on the DNA samples I gathered while he was… incapacitated. My findings show a 98% genetic match between him and the Lincoln from our universe."

"What does any of this have to do with getting my husband back?" Lynn asked only to be met with a room full of groans.

"Lisa, just go on." Lori said as everyone chose to ignore Lynn's question.

"The obvious outcome would have been an exact match. It is possible that…" Lisa started to drone on regarding her findings and possible theories. Most of them had stopped listening.

"Enough science, dweeb. Where is he?" Lynn asked pushing herself off of the couch's armrest.

"The simplest possibly answer would be that he's currently stuck in this other Lincoln's universe." Lisa answered.

"Easy. We use one of your machines to go get him." Lana said sitting up straight.

"I-I'm afraid it's not that easy, n-now is it, Lincoln?" She asked turning her gaze on him. It was the first time Lincoln had ever heard any version of Lisa sound so unsure. Oh, he'd heard her nervous a few times, but never this unsure of herself.

"What do you mean?" Lincoln asked. Why did she have to go and ask him?

"I noticed something odd today during my presentation. The blue coloured energy field surrounding. It contained a large amount of foreign particles. Particles I'd wager got stuck on you when you were sucked into the black hole. I came across something very similar years ago. Back at the lab we were working on a new type of laser guidance system. Our calculations were off and we somehow ended up burning through space-time. The ramifications were quiet dire."

"Dude, not that I don't believe you, but this is starting to sound a bit out there." Luna said.

"Believe me when I tell you this is all very real. In an effort to seal the "wound" the universe cauterizing itself. It literally burned itself close."

Lynn's brow furrowed as she tried to make sense of what her little sister was saying.

"The hole we made was about the size of a grain of salt, and the damage it caused was enough for the lab to decide to permanently seal off two of our lowest levels. If the anomaly that sucked Lincoln in was manmade and something went wrong… the damage would be immeasurable. Something so powerful it's capable of affecting both our universes? It's quite possible the universe decided that the safest way to deal with such a problem was to destroy it and the universe it was located in. So if our Lincoln was indeed sent to his universe…"

"Wait." Lucy stood up. "You mean to say he was sent to a dying universe?" Her voice was far louder than usual and filled with emotion.

"Correct. He might have been thrown into a figurative house on fire." Lisa replied emotionlessly.

"L-Lisa. You're kidding, right?" A very shaken Lori asked reaching out to her.

"…"

Slowly but surely realization had began sinking in.

Surprisingly it was Lucy who started bawling first. "H-he can't be gone." She cried into her hands as Lynn slid over to comfort her childhood roommate. Her own tears would soon follow...

Luan was the next one to break down. "No-no-no-no-no-no-" She said over and over again as she began to rock back and forth.

Reaching down Sam slid her arms around a weeping Luna. She had been part of the family long enough to know that Lincoln was the linchpin keeping them all together. They all loved him. He had been the one to seek Sam out. He had driven all the way to Las Vegas to find her in the hopes that she might still love Luna. He was the reason they got married.

Leni let out a couple of hiccups. "W-what about the kids?" She asked but nobody answered.

Suddenly Lola jumped up and rushed towards a very shocked Lisa. "What did you do, you little bitch!?" She screeched only to be intercepted and roughly tossed towards her twin.

"Not. Now." Lori warned.

Lana stared up at Lori in anger and confusion. Anger at how forcefully she had tossed her younger twin aside, and confusion at her choice in words.

"Let me go!" Lola shrieked at the top of her lungs as Lana tried her best to hold her down. "Damn it, Lola." She groaned clasping a hand over Lola's mouth. "Think of the kids. You're gonna scare them." Lana said through tears and gritted teeth.

Lincoln did his best to not draw any attention. He knew that sooner or later the sadness they felt was going to turn into anger. And once the sisters were done yelling at each other they were going to take aim at the nearest stranger. That just so happened to be him.

"Lori, what about the kids?" Leni asked once more after everyone had finally settled down.

"It's late. We aren't waking them up. We'll tell them tomorrow." The oldest Loud sibling said looking at one of the walls. She knew she'd break down if she were to look at any of their faces.

"Monday morning we'll call the schools and let them know Lincoln's missing. We'll be able to keep the kids home for a couple of days. That should give us enough time to figure something out."

"Do we call the cops?" Lynn asked.

"I'd advice against that course of action. We do not want people sniffing around our private business, especially considering our unique lifestyle." Lisa answered.

Lana rolled her eyes. "Just say it. We fucked."

"More problematically, we reproduced, which is a far more serious offense." Lisa replied.

Lori shook her head. "We've pressed for that law to be abolished." She needed to pull herself together. Lincoln wasn't here to keep everyone on track. She was in charge now.

"Yes, with pushback." The young genius countered once more.

"..."

Nobody seemed to know what to say.

Turning around Lori stood with her back to the group of mostly siblings. "OK, then. We'll do what we did last time." She said running her fingertips over one of the many photo frames that hung on the wall. Her high school graduation. Back when things were still relatively normal.

"Like, what do you mean we'll do what we did last time?" A distraught Leni asked.

Lori closed her eyes and let out a tired sigh. "The Proud Protocol."

"Uh, what now?" A very confused Lincoln asked. He felt more lost than Leni. And that was saying something.

Lynn gave Lori a bewildered look. "You're kidding me, right? We've done that already."

"Our eldest sibling unit might be on to something. We just need to set up some more fake documents." Lisa said stroking her chin in contemplation.

"Sorry, what's going on?" Lincoln asked. This time he actually got a response.

"I'll explain." Lori said looking over her shoulder at him." Back when "this" got too out of hand, we came up with a contingency plan. A plan to save our asses, and our children, if things were to ever go south."

"But like, why would we ever go south?" Leni asked.

"Leni, please, just sit there quietly." Lori told her. The usually upbeat woman suddenly felt as if she wanted the earth to swallow her whole.

"We faked Lincoln's birth certificate." A still teary eyed Lucy told him.

'Really?' Lincoln thought as he gave them a bored stare. A stare they all chose to ignore.

"We changed his "original" last name to Proud. That way Lincoln was simply the adopted son of two loving individuals who thought it best if he believed they were his biological parents. It was quite a shock when the "truth" came out. The only ones who knew it was all made-up was the immediate family." Lisa added. "It took a bit of work but I was able to set up an elaborate pseudo family tree that if followed would lead to a dead-end."

"But dude, how's that gonna work? He's too young to be Lincoln." Luna said motioning to... Lincoln. "Uh, I meant our Lincoln."

Lisa let out a little chuckle. "Oh no, he's the perfect age for what I have planned. Who we have here is not Lincoln, but his younger brother, Lincoln."

"..."

"It's not my fault his make-believe parents weren't more original with their choice in names." Everyone except Leni and Lincoln facepalmed at Lisa.

"So what do we tell people? Hey, have you met Lincoln's long lost younger brother, Lincoln, who just happened to show up on the same day Lincoln disappeared?" An enraged Lynn started hyperventilating.

"Yes." Lisa replied. "The last time any of us heard from Lincoln was right before he went to go pick up his newly discovered younger sibling at the bus stop across town. Alas, he never arrived and his brother was forced to walk all the way here."

"Aw, the poor little guy. He must be tired." Leni said having lost the plot entirely.

"Leni, it's not real." Luna informed her.

"Like, he's not? Did Lisa make him in her lab?" The confused blonde asked.

Lori facepalmed again. She hoped that if she did it enough times she'd wake up and realize this was nothing but a bad dream. "For the time being this Lincoln, now Lincoln Proud, will have to pretend to be the long lost younger brother of our adopted brother, Lincoln Loud, birth name, also Lincoln Proud." Did this plan sound as ludicrous to any of them as it did her? The Proud Protocol might have been a bad call.

"Luna, I want you and Sam to continue working at the music store like usual. You two are pretty well known around Royal Woods. Seeing you going about your business as usual will lead people to believe things aren't all that serious. Luan, you'll have to make sure the rumours that spread around school don't get too out of hand. Kids have a way of spreading rumours like head lice."

Luan gave a little nod. "OK, Lori."

"Leni and Lola, I need you two to stay at home and keep an eye on the kids. You never know what they might try and do once they find out the truth." As much as she loved both Leni and Lola, they were the two sisters most likely to spill the beans. At least here they could make sure they didn't tell anyone.

"Lana, do you have someone that can handle the shop for you?" She asked as she turned to look at the twins.

"Skip should be able to hold down the fort, but I'm gonna have to go in on Monday to sort out a few things." The woman in question replied scratching her head.

"That will have to do. Lucy-"

"I have some vacation days saved up. I'll call it in on Monday." Lucy cut her off.

Lori nodded approvingly. Lucy always seemed to know what was expected of her. "Lynn, you'll have to cancel your sessions for the week. We're going to have a full ship and we need as many hands on deck as possible." Lori said before turning to the youngest of the Loud women in the room. "And Lisa, I need you to get to work undoing this mess."

"As mentioned before, I might not be able to-"

"Just do it!" Lori yelled tossing her hands up in the air.

"Lori. Keep your voice down." A scowling Leni said pointing at the staircase.

"You're right. I'm sorry. We all just need to stay call." She said more to herself than any of them. "I'll go into work on Monday and get all the documents we need from the courthouse."

"Wow Lori, you're a lawyer?" Lincoln asked in awe.

"No, Lincoln. I'm a file clerk." She stared at the young man as if he were an idiot. Why would he just assume anyone working at a courthouse was a lawyer?

"Oh, uh… so what do you do?" Lincoln, like a surprisingly large amount of people, had no clue what file clerks did.

Lori rolled her eyes. "I literally work with files."

Lincoln was about to ask a follow-up question when…

Crash!

The front door was flung open.

They really need to start locking that thing.

"Lincoln Loud!" A voice bellowed as out of the darkness stepped a woman with smooth shoulder length blonde hair and a... giant belly and stroller! "You did this to me!"

Lincoln had planned on running and hiding as soon as he'd heard the loud crashing of the door being thrown open, but now under the rage filled gaze of this newcomer he was paralyzed with fear.

"Like, that's not funny." Leni scolded taking the stroller from the woman. "Did you miss your Auntie Leni? Oh yes you did. Oh yes you did." Leni cooed as she pushed it into the living room. "Nice entrance, squirt." Lynn said walking up and reaching underneath the woman's shirt. "Is this the reason you had to go home first?" She asked tugging out a pillow.

The woman just shrugged. "Whoops. Cat's out of the bag. Guess you don't have to worry about child support anymore, Lincoln. It's not yours." She joked as Lynn gave her a quick pillow whack over the back of the head. "Hey!" She chuckled. "Sorry, I needed to pick up Lani. My neighbours were busy and couldn't watch him." She told them.

"So that's him, huh?" She asked peering over the top of Lynn's head. "Hi there, little Linky!" The woman said waving happily. With the initial shock having worn off, Lincoln finally had time to look her over. She was younger than the rest of the women, most likely still in her early to mid twenties. Her outfit consisted of a neat button up lilac shirt, loose fitting white pants and a pair of sandals.

"I don't think he knows who you are, dude!" Luna piped up from where she sat on the living room floor.

"What? Really? I guess that makes sense." She mused. "You guys did say he was only twenty."

"Twenty-one." Lisa corrected walking past them.

"Yay. So he can legally drink." She said with glee. "Oh yeah, he still doesn't know who I am." The blonde put a finger to her pouting lips. "Poo poo." Her cheeks puffed up in anger. Why was she always the one that got forgotten?

"Little L-Lily?" Lincoln asked slowly rising from his stool. "Is that really you?" He walked over and cupped her left cheek. "You're all grown up." He couldn't believe it. His little baby sister was all grown up, and while part of him knew this wasn't really his Lily, the emotions he felt were real.

"Hi, Linky. Yeah, it's me." She said reaching up and placing a hand over his. "It's nice to meet you." The two stood there looking at each for a moment before tightly embracing one another.

"That's pretty sweet, don't you think?" Luna asked her wife. The two had stood up to see what was going on since nobody had returned to the living room.

Sam gave her wife a loving hug from behind. It seemed no matter which universe they were from; Lincoln would always be Lily's big brother. It was an unbreakable bond.

The siblings eventually parted and headed for the living room. "So, how do you fit into all of this? Or is that...?" Lincoln asked turning to look at the baby on Leni's lap. For a moment he'd completely forgotten the situation they were in.

"Lani? No. He's not yours. Or should I say his." I'm not really into the whole "love" thy brother thing. At least not like that."

Lincoln's shoulders loosened as a wave of relief swept over him. "So, who's the dad?"

"A drunken one night stand." Lori answered disapprovingly.

"Really, Lori?" Lily asked looking at the older blonde. "Pot. Kettle. Black." She'd gotten somewhat used to Lori's remarks by now.

"Hah. She's got you there, dude." Luna chuckled.

"You're one to talk, "Mrs. Came Back for Seconds"!" Lori said slamming her foot down in anger.

"Hey! Only one of my kids was because I got drunk!" Luna shouted stomping her way over to her sister.

"I think we should get somewhere safe." Lily said gesturing dawn the hall. Lincoln gave a nod in agreement and followed close by, now joined by Lucy, Leni and the baby, they retreated to the kitchen.

"It's been almost twenty minutes. Shouldn't we go try and stop them?" Lincoln asked the others sitting around the kitchen countertop.

Leni let out a sigh of defeat. "Like, why even bother."

"As long as Lola doesn't start shrieking we should be fine." Lucy said taking a sip of coffee. "Needs more milk."

"You drink milk? Isn't that a little too... well, not black?"

Lucy gave a little chuckle. "It's only coffee, Lincoln. It's not going to kill me. That's unless… you poisoned it." She stopped and all three of them stared at him.

"I-I promise I didn't! Honest!" Lincoln started waving his arms in panic.

The three women simply broke out in laughter.

"Sorry Lincoln. I couldn't resist." Lucy said reaching over the kitchen countertop to pat him on the shoulder.

He gave her a little sideways glance. "I wasn't really worried or anything." He lied his ass off. "I just wasn't expecting it. Especially not from you."

"A lot has changed, dear brother." Lucy said lifting her skull themed coffee mug to her lips.

Another ten minutes passed as they sat listening to their sisters argue in the other room. It reminded him of the old days. The Sister Fight Protocol…

'I guess now is as good a time as any to ask them.' Lincoln thought. "Hope you don't mind me asking, but are you guys like, together? With other me?"

Lily was the first answer. "Like I said, I'm not hot for brother."

Next was Lucy. "Yes. We are." She said taking another sip. "If what I've heard is correct, you've already met our daughter."

Lincoln scrunched up his face. "Lupa..."

"Indeed. She is our precious little bee."

His eye twitched much like Lori's did earlier. 'Yeah, let's go with that.' Staying away from that little white haired monster was near the top of his to-do list while there.

"Me?" Leni asked smiling brightly. "Me and Linky have totes been together since he was like seventeen." She happily informed him. "Our first was born a couple weeks before thanksgiving. We put her in a little turkey outfit. She was so cute." Leni practically squealed.

"That's sweet... wait, you said first. Just how many kids do we have!?" He asked looking at her in disbelief.

"Of course! We have three perfect little angels." She was so proud of her little brood.

'First there was Lynn, then Luna, and now Lucy and Leni?' "What is this, some sort of crazy sex cult or incestual harem?" Lincoln might have felt a bit more ashamed at his choice in question if he had bothered to give it a second thought. It wasn't really the sort of thing you went around asking people.

The three women gave him a dumbfounded look before breaking out into laughter once more. Lily had laughed so hard she almost fell of her stool.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"Sorry Lincoln, but the idea of you having a harem is..." Lily rubbed the tears from her eyes.

"It's silly." Leni finished her sentence with a giggle.

"Except for Luna and Sam, none of us are married. Our choice in relationship is far more open. You are allowed to date whoever you want to. Lincoln simply chooses not to sleep around with other women." Lucy informed him.

"Not that he could even if he wanted to." The youngest snickered into her wine glass.

"Lily. Your brother is totes still a very attractive man." Leni said waving a finger in disapproval at her little sister.

"Maybe he was, like ten years ago." Lily snorted. "He's thirty-seven, Leni."

"Well I'm older than Lincoln. Like, does that make me an old lady?" She asked putting her hands on her hips.

Lucy and Lily turned to look at each other. "Yes." They answered in unison before laughing. Lincoln couldn't stop himself from letting out a couple a small chuckles as Leni's puffed up her cheeks, but no matter how hard she tried, Leni just couldn't keep from joining in on the laughter.

"But seriously, Lincoln just doesn't have it in him to go around sleeping with random women. When he's not working he's here taking care of everyone. Also, he's kinda whipped." Lily said making a whipping motion with her right hand.

Leni looked down at her empty mug in sadness. "Linky almost never gets any time to relax."

"What about poker-" She was cut off as a sudden stench filled the room. "Uh... poo poo?" She asked looking over at the other blonde. "Poo poo." Leni said keeping Lani at arm's length "OK you little monster, come to mommy." Lily said taking Lani from her.

The other three gave them a little wave as they left to take care of business. "You think they're done yet?" Lincoln asked looking in the direction of the living room.

"It might still be a while. I think you should turn in for the night. From what I've heard it's been a long day." Leni said standing up and gathering their empty cups and glasses. "Lucy can totes show you where you can sleep tonight. I'm just going to wash these up while I wait for Lily. Someone should probably tell her everything."

Lincoln stood up and gave her a hug. "Thanks, Leni."

"For what, Linky?" She asked.

"For being you."

"Like, who else would I be?" She said winking. "Now shoo, shoo. It's late." Leni gestured for them to leave as she started filling up the sink.

Once she was sure they were gone she leaned over the sink and stared down at her reflection in the water. "Oh Linky, where are you?"


It's time for some review feedback, feedback?

JohnMonty: In regards to your statement regarding Lupa hitting Lincoln over the head with a baseball bat. I can totally see where you're coming from. In future chapters it might make more sense. I don't really want to spoil too much, but what I can say is that my take on Lupa will be a bit different from most. She's not going to be the type of child to cuss at her parents. Her humour will be far more deadpan. Think of it as a mixture of Lincoln's quick wit combined with Lucy's monotone.

Yes: Was it Lucy? That would be telling. You'll just have to wait and see.

JohnMonty: I hope this chapter was a little more dramatic. I might revisit that earlier chapter and put in a chase scene. It's really a good suggestion.

Mr ChubbySnorlax619: I can't say whether it's gone or not. Since that would be spoiling the ending of book one.

Radolf: I'd like to think Luna would be a supportive sister. She, along with Leni, Lucy, Lana and Lily has officially been stated to be the sisters he is closest to. That and a ton of stories have her being a bit of a garbage person.

Please note Trashcan Bobby is not Bobby Santiago. He is a completely original character. He's a mix between two of my favourite characters. Crazy Dave from Plants vs. Zombies and Rosie from F is for Family.

P.S. Bobby Santiago is not dead. I dislike that idea. Also he, along with other members of his family, might make an appearance later in the story.

Mr. Haziq: Maybe. It will become clearer what happened later on.

Well I hope that helped answer a couple questions you might have had.

Take care and stay safe.
