Full Disclosure; this story is going to be extremely graphic. If you do not like the topics of rape, torture, cannibalism and numerous acts of child-murder, this story is not for you.

It was a frigid Thursday night, as we open on Luna Loud. "But my heart, my heart says there are things we can have, but just can't keep..." she sung to herself, as she looked out the window. She knew out there, those returning from second-shift would begin their slumber, while the third-shift are simply beginning their day.

"Yo' Luey-ann, what's keeping you company?" asked Luna, curious as to her troublesome, mischievous little sister's antics. Luan calmly called out to Luna "Right now, I'm reading a book on anti-gravity for my report in the morning, but boyyy is it hard to put down!" Luan chirped, which was met with Luna groaning and crawling back up to bed.

"So what takes you into Smileville, toots?" I looked up at her, using her hand to compensate Mr. Coconuts, yet I was taken by her processing that I'm actually doing fine, for a change. "Eh well, I've got some big plans tomorrow after school. I'm just, you know. Making a case that I'll have something to look forward to." I responded to her question, looking up at Luan who gazed over me at the top bunk.

She smiled, her braces shinier than ever. "Oh man, I guess you'll be having pun tomorrow! Haha, get it?" she said, with an edgy, completely unthought 'pun'. I groaned, and placed the palm of my hand on my forehead, before I continued.

"Do you ever think that, people make mistakes, thinking what they're doing is for the good of the world? Only to, you know, look back and say 'man that was trippy of me', or something like that?" I asked her, not expecting much of a guided, mature answer from her.

"I- wellll, I've never put much thought into that..." I looked at her, now fully observing her conversation. ".. I've always thought, if it's something I can just have a good ol' hardee-har after, and everyone else does, it's really no harm done." She said, with the 'no harm done' having a gentle emphasis.

Her words did comfort me, and it motivated me to feel less guilty over my mistakes of the past, especially having Luan locked away every April 1st, yet wondering to myself, why my parents refuse to parent at times, but it's whatever to me now, I'm just taken back by the words, and now I feel a great deal of comfort.

"Yeah, you're right dude. I'm so foolish sometimes, I don't mean to be a bitch, you know." I say, apologetic, yet with a big weight off my chest, realizing that mistakes of the past, can be atoned by the future, and if no true harm has been done, the mistake is something we can grow from, without severe consequences.

With that being said, I had little anxiety, and was now ready to drift to sleep. I then, however, asked myself "then again, how can I be so stupid, to have not already known this, man? My sister had to tell me this, not myself. Do I like, depend on everyone, do I depend too much? Or am I just asking for help, because I can't always think on my own, even if it's common sense?"

Although some of this was not immediately something that came to mind, I realized I can fix things, but if nobody is hurt, it's a breeze.

As I wake up, at 5:48 AM, I'm introduced to the sound of Leni screaming, followed by Luan's laughter. I get up asking "what happened?" in a voice barely above a whisper.

I crawl out of the bed, and before interrogating Luan and Leni, I search for my clothes preparing myself for the long-day ahead of me. Before I make my steps towards the dresser, my back aches, and I lean back with it. "Ahhh... I'm getting out of shape..." I grumble to myself, as I am now stripping to get dressed.

I'm soon met with a vile stench penetrating the room, and I clench my nose as I exit. "What the heck, dudes?! Did you- *gag* did you change Lily?!" I demand, puzzled by the conditions prior to school starting. "Hello." a familiar voice creeps behind me.

"YAGH". I jump, turning to face Lucy. "Oh dude, Luce... Hey where's Lori, shouldn't she be taking care of the, you know, stink-bomb?" I ask, puzzled. Lucy continues to stare at me, or at this point, through me.

"Lincoln was told to settle business with Lily this morning. I've not seen him, but I'm sure he's of the shadows, somewhere, waiting to bid his part to the kin." She explained.

~Meanwhile, with Lincoln~

Lincoln laid in his bed, consumed by the pressures of living. He took a hit from his Vuse, and dangled his arm off the side of his bed. Blowing a puff of smoke, he gently mumbled to himself. "Life's not fair, is it. They took Ronnie Anne, away from me. Just like I take, the Loud from the House." I bitterly told myself, frustrated with my lack of success and/or name for myself.

"One day, I'll make a name for myself. I'll be, that one person, all of those ungrateful brats will admire. We're a family, but there's always me throwing third base. *hit* I prom-se..." I choked out at the last word, as I coughed it out along with smoke.

"I promise, I'll be better. Yeah. You will, Lincoln. You better, they're all counting on you, or they'll leave you behind, like cold jerky." I mumbled out. I heard the door to my bedroom knock, and immediately threw the Vuse underneath my pillow.

"Come in." I called out. The door then opened, showing Luna walk into the room. "Hey br- phew, what's that smell?" she demanded. "My hopes and dreams, burning away." I explained, but she didn't take it as an answer.

"Well, you'd better hope your 'hopes and dreams' *uses finger quotations* are put away where mom, dad, Lori won't look dude." She said.

"Anyways, I came here to ask, why haven't you changed Lily yet? You know how strict her daycare is." added Luna, who was now becoming stern with the situation.

"Don't lecture me, Luna. I'm not in the market to buy lectures, though a noose I wield out of my own intestines would be, rather fancy." I bit back.

I wasn't in the mood to be scolded, or have any social interactions, least not with my talented, visionary sisters who are always putting me down.

Luna took this into her own hands; rather than scold her little brother, she walked up and sat down on the foot of the bed, and picked up Bun-Bun, before 'walking up' to Lincoln.

"Hewwo Winkin'! I am Bun-Bun, would you like to smile?" Luna said, in a cute, childish voice. I, however, was far from amused, and continued to lay in a catatonic state of depression.

Luna took this as a sign to proceed, and began 'dancing' Bun-Bun, to which I finally loudy sighed. "UGHHH, you're so annoying." and I began to pull my hair. "Come on bro, don't make me sing to you!"

This made me click; Luna wasn't going anywhere until she was satisfied with my answer. "I'll overlook your condescending tones, if you do me a solid, and fetch me a bowl of Zombie Bran." I grumbled.

"Oh-uh, Mr. Grumpy wants food?" She continued to patronize me, using Bun-Bun, who was now being gently slapped in Lincoln's face. "Yes, I would." I told her, hoping to buy myself a moments peace, and a free pass from going downstairs.

Luna instead, looking more serious, crawled over to me, and gave me a hug. "What are you doing?" I demand, asserting I don't like physical affection from anyone. "Bro, listen." She said.

"I know this stuff, it's hard man. But we've all been through it before, Ronnie Anne leaving? It's tough. But you keep letting it eat at you, there's so much to life you're gonna be missing out." she explained.

"You don't understand what it's like, having- having this shit thrown into my face, then being told to go on with myself. Every goddamn day, it's the same." I snapped.

"Dealing with my little sisters like I'm some kind of dad, then going to school to get D's and F's, then being jammed into a locker, given swirlies, and taking most of the beatings, so my friends can live peaceful lives." I continued.

At this point, Luna was sad, but I continued. "...and having no purpose in the end, except to eat, sleep, shit, repeat, and one day end up dead. And what'll I have to show for that? I'm just an average nobody." Luna said nothing, but instead hugged me again.

"Come on dude. You're my little brother, and I'll never let anyone, or anything, keep you from being a somebody. Remember, you saved all of us, back in Scotland? And, all the times, we've got home late, but you helped sneak us in?" Luna soon began a two minute conversation, about my 'good deeds'. Pfft.

I got up. "Gee Luna, you're right. I should now prance around town, a hero, because I'm not a talented singer, a tumultuous athlete, a freaking Hawking - Einstein hybrid. Noooo, I'm a good brother, I'm gonna put that on my resume to FUCKING DUKE UNIVERSITY." I slapped her hands away, as I walked off, storming out the room.

Luna felt a sharp pain in her heart, hearing her little brother snap at him. She began to get tears forming in her eyes, but forced herself to find Lori, and help prepare everyone for the day. She told herself, she will not let her day of joy be crushed by drama, as much as she wanted to help Lincoln.

"Okay, I'm literally about to freak." Lori called out, which lead Luna to see, Luan had poured a mixture of clown-hair dye into Leni's hair, causing her to look like Marty the Zebra, but with the afro.

"AND WHERE IS THAT TWERP LINCOLN, LILY SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOURTY-FIVE MINUTES AGO." Lori shouted out, as she gently scooped up Lily. "Lynn, I need you to change her, I have to clean up the dishes from breakfast, and I have to make the beds." Lori ordered.

"Ooh, I can get the beds made! But... Don't we already have some?" Leni asked, wanting to be helpful. While Lori facepalmed, Lynn challenged Lori. "Oh, ahem. I thought Lily was Lincoln's responsibility, TODAY." Lynn griped. "I literally do not have time for this." Lori shouted, as she stormed away.

Luna caught Lincoln, sitting on the couch, with Lola putting makeup on him. "Ugh- hold still Lincoln! I need to know if this will look good before my pageanttttt." Lola whined. Lana ran up, and slapped a pile of mud on Lincoln.

"Haha! There! Mud always looks beautiful, on anyone!" Lana chirped. Oh great, now I have to wash my face again, I thought to myself, as I got up.

"Well I'll go with that makeup I had on him, before Lana ruined it." Lola grumbled, marching away. Lincoln was heading to the bathroom, before Luna caught him.

"Hey dude, save you a trip! So what cereal was it, you wanted?" she asked. "Zombie Bran." I told her, as she made fingerguns, before making the double-click noise, followed with a "gotcha covered, dude!"

Leni and Lisa soon walked out of the latter's room. "Therefore, the hypothetical explosion of chemicals, could revert even the worst cases towards trichology." Lisa explained, probably for nothing, as she reminded herself, Leni was the audience, but was proud to have reverted her hairstyle with the recent experiment, before school.

"Swear, it's like someone is controlling my lifestyle, it's like some moron thought it'd be cute to remove Ronnie from my lifestyle, to add a mediocre spoof focusing on her own. Psht. It's whatever, at this point." I grumbled, as all of the mud was removed.

Towel wiping my face, I threw it back on the wall, as Luna approached me with the bowl of cereal. I bumped into her as I was distracted removing the towel, and the bowl fell out of her hands, shattering on both of our feet.

Ceramic shards slightly gashed our ankles, while the milk and cereal all spilled over our pants (or in Luna's case, her skirt) and littered the floor. Noise, that clearly sent everyone running to check in on.

"Are you kidding me?! I literally just cleaned this house! And bought that bowl, for our parents anniversary!" Lori yelled at both of us. "It- it wasn't Lincoln's fault, it was-" Lori interrupted. "Shut it! Since you all have done nothing but cause trouble, you're all going to find your own ways to school." Lori ordered. Everyone gasped.

Lily blew a raspberry, as she approached Lori, who picked her up. "Not you, Lil's. I'm driving you to daycare, sweetie. But the rest of you, find your own ways." Lori instructed.

"But Lori! I just, like- totes cleaned myself, I'll stink!" Leni cried out. "I like sweat!" Lana cheered. "Ewww, Lana what the heck?!" Lola pouted. Everyone was cross, except Lana, while Lynn jogged in place. "Bunch of babies." she mumbled, not minding the exercise.

"Way to go, Lincoln, Luna. You jerks!" Lola spat out, stomping and grabbing her backpack. "Oh screw you, Lola." Luna grumbled, and she began walking out the door. I was the last one to leave, but before I did, Lori stuck her hand out, to stop me.

"Hold it twerp. What's gotten into you lately?" Lori asked, wanting to atleast check in with the mental-state of her little brother. "Nothing that would concern you." I grumbled.

Does Lori really think, I'll tell her what's wrong with me, after she just sent me down a second flight of stairs, in the stairwell to hell? Ha!

"I know what this is about." She told me, in a firm, authority-like tone. "Oh?" was all I managed to say, before she nudged me. "We'll discuss it after school." She replied.

I made my way out the door. No time for me and Luna to change, so now I made my way to school in my milk-soaked pants, in 49° weather, with alot of wind, and a 13 minute walk.

As I made my way, hands in pockets, Luna ran up to me, from behind me. "*catches breath* Hey, Lincoln. I don't wanna bother you dude, but like... Do you wanna talk about, ahem, the situation with Ronnie Anne?" She asked.

Feeling obligated, I responded with a simple "it's whatever. Nobody will love me anyways, not the way she did." I sharply put my thought process. She looked at the ground, before back at me.

"I- um... You know, I've never had a boyfriend. And I'm 15. You're 11, you had some better scores than I did." Luna chuckled, which obligated me to turn to face her. "So that's an accomplishment? You could pull any boy you set focus on, anyways. You got looks, talent, humor. Noble qualities I don't possess." I defended my stance.

"Lincoln. I don't know how to tell you this but... Well I'm not exactly into women. I get it if you totally hate my guts, but that's who I am. It's not who I chose to be, but... I'm happy with it." She told me. I stopped in my tracks, and she looked frightened.

"You think, I won't accept you? Luna. I have no problem with that stuff, now. If you're happy, well. I support you, unconditionally. Well, on the homosexuality that is, there's alot of other shit I don't like, but not being...gay, go for what makes you happy. Just, define who you are. Be someone, I can't be, happy." I explained.

We began to walk again, and she spoke up again. "Yeah, you're right. Still, I've never had a kiss before. I'm still *quietly whispers* a virgin..." she said, which something inside of me smiled, and then like a normal brother for a change, I just start to chuckle.

She started blushing. "Yeah, laugh it up duuude." she responded, but with a little bit of joy to her tune, knowing atleast she accomplished in making her brother, going through some shit, smile.

"Uh-oh, dearest girlfriend, I'm a virgin so please forgive me, and *stops and cups his cheeks* what's thisss? Scissors? Guess this is our token that we hate penises?" Lincoln smirked.

Luna playfully slapped the back of Lincoln's head. "Shut upppp dude." she chuckled, laughing along and enjoying the brother/sister bond she hasn't seen in weeks, which she felt like she was slowly bringing back, and helping Lincoln recover.

The two siblings continued to talk, until I reached the elementary school. "Alright bro, stay cool today!" Luna told me. I gave her a thumbs up, and walked to class.

~ It's Luna Time ~

I finally reached the high-school, sweating bullets. "Yaaawww!" I shrieked. My clothes stunk, and I could smell the old milk all over. Knowing how badly I stunk, I figured nobody would want to talk to me, so I just casually marched over to my classroom. Instead, I was met by a special someone.

"Hey Lunes!" a warm, fuzzy voice emerged. This particular person, walked in front of me, likely wanting to be seen, as I've been quite distant since I stepped into class. "Oh, it's... Hey!" I said, as I was greeted by the teal-streaked, blonde rocker chick, Sam.

"You haven't forgotten me, have ya?" She chuckled, as I start to blush. "Hehe. Noooo, I just thought I'd get to the classroom and get to work a little earlier!" I shrugged, trying to play it cool infront of the cutie Sam Sharp.

It's no stranger, me and Sam's journey. We've been best-friends for 9 years, and in recent days, we've had a nice journey, from me anonymously writing her a love letter, to us babysitting the McBride's cats, to that scavenger hunt quest, and yet, I've never confessed I was behind the letters, and thus I remain a simp.

I look at my bestfriend, shocked by her beauty. "So likeee.. Do you-" I stopped, no I wasn't gonna just ask her out, then and there.

See, my parents have an event planned, where all of us get to bring our better-halves, and we go out to eat, acquaint them with our family. Me and Lori scheduled to have Bobby bring Ronnie Ann over, in hopes of ultimately fixing Lincoln, and I've been working up the courage to make it official to Sam, that I like her.

I've kissed her cheek, and held her hand, but you know, she thinks nothing of it, other than we're besties, though I prefer the term "best-dudes". I dropped the term "best-dudies" as it sounded a little suggesting.

She tilts her head. "Uh, Lunes?" Oh crap! I've done zoned out, ugh. "Oh uh, I was gonna ask, do you wanna... Hang out after school today?" Nice one, Luna. You are a complete dork.

Sam however, smiled by my request. "Yes Lunes! I'd love to! But, I'll have to ask my mom if we have anything to do, later first. Simon has to get back from his gamer's club meeting, and my parents have to work, and I don't have my license." Sam initially seemed thrilled, but began to lose her confidence.

"Sam, that's like the perfect solution! I could get my si-" I then I realized, Lori wouldn't wanna help after this morning. "You know what? We'll walk him home together!" I smiled. She was now happy by this statement.

"I'd so love to! Just like when we watched Mick, aka you for the first half, of that concert!" She chuckled, before playfully punching my shoulder. "Now, now Sam. Don't make me find an organic drink, to spit all over you!" I said, she playfully screamed, and pretended to run from me, as I chased her to class, in a frolic.

That was like, so feminine, but what can I say? I get the sweets for this cutie. We made our way to our first-block classroom, bumping into Mazz and Sully along the way.

"Phew, someone spill their breakfast milk over them, this morning?" Sully asked, as he walked with us to class. "Uhh..." I said. At that point, I was more than glad I put deodorant on this morning, so the sweat wasn't as revolting.

"Yeah, Lunar Eclipse, was everything okay at breakfast, bro?" Mazzy asked. "I ehm- I don't wanna talk about it." I said. Sam didn't comment on my odor, which was good. I was not about to let this day get ruined, I was planning to pop the question with Sam later.

We walked into class together, and I almost held her hand, but backed out. "It's okay Luna, you're a strong, badass dudette, and today you make your way out of the simp-zone." I told myself in my head. My biggest focus, was making sure Sam was my babygirl, by the end of the day.

Thanks for reading part-one! Now, I know nothing suggestive has happened yet, but bare with me. We're just warming up, also I need to clarify; every episode Sam has been in, is canon to this novel, however an inconsistency is the ages. I wanted Lori in this novel, and I know there may be other inconsistencies, for one I've dropped the confirmed relationship between Luna X Sam, in order to rewrite it to my standards, and all of their lovey/dovey actions is just two besties being themselves. Anyways, if you enjoyed, please leave a review and follow/favorite, and I'll be back with another chapter soon. :)
