Nah, I'm Good 11
Disclaimers, I don't own the Loud House, please support any to all official release.
While Lincoln had came to terms with all of his sisters, at least to his knowledge, there's still of burying the hatchet with his friends, and this was suggested by Clyde since he felt that now that they're all adults with a much more perspective towards life, they can all properly look back and reflect what they did wrong.
So on a whim, Lincoln decided to wing it, henceforth why he was waiting at Gus n Games and Grub as this was they're old hangout, and the best part he rented out the whole place for himself and his friends for this specific reunion.
"…So yeah, I got off the phone with the last of your sisters, and it seems they're all on board for this movie" said Clyde, "Does that include Lynn, Luna, and Luan" asked Lincoln as he took a sip out of his milkshake.
"Yeah buddy" said Clyde sheepishly, "Sigh, guess I was expecting a little too much for at least those 3 not to sign on" said Lincoln.
"Might I make a suggestion, without you getting upset" asked Clyde, "Shoot" asked Lincoln.
"Maybe before we actually get together and start shooting, maybe you can have one of your sibling dates with the last remaining sisters before we get this project on the road, and I'm just saying this as a means to avoid stirring up and causing conflict on the set" said Clyde.
"I hear you man, it's just I really don't want to allow these 3 back into my life again, much less my home" said Lincoln, "Just, please think about and consider it, cause I say this out of love and respect to not only you, but towards every ace savvy fan out there, I won't allow anyone, including you to sabotage this movie so do what you gotta do, but please do not fuck this up" said Clyde.
"Wow, you dropping an ef bomb right now means your dead serious" said Lincoln in amazement, "Of course I am, I'm trying to make a movie here" said Clyde.
"Clyde, Lincoln, that you guys" came the voice of an adult man walking into the establishment wearing a green and teal green plaid button up shirt, with the upper three buttons being undone to reveal his muscular pecks and top half of his six pack as he wore black work pants and ranch hand boots, his red hair was cut in a faux hawk with his sides shaved down as he spoke with that same farm boy accent.
"Liam, is that you buddy" asked Lincoln, "In the flesh, it's good to see you buddy, can't believe it's been ages since we last seen or talked to each other" said Liam as the 2 shook hands.
"Yeah man, I'm sorry about that" said Lincoln, "If you mean it, come by the farm, I've been meaning to introduce you and Clyde here to meet the wife and kids" said Liam.
"Oh crap man, you're married" exclaimed Lincoln as he now felt like kicking his own ass for blowing an important event from his friend, "6 years happily married pushing 7 in 2 months from now" said Liam with a proud smile.
"Hey congrats man, we'll definitely try to plan something out before we start filming" said Clyde, "Which I should say, I'm a little butt hurt you never considered to sign me on and this handsome mug on the big screen" came the voice of a smarmy adult, who was trying too hard pulling off the gold chain and green turtleneck sweater, black business pants as the trio could arguably guess that underneath he was wearing contour briefs giving how oddly disproportionate his ass is, and finally his curly red hair remained ever so the same how it was since they were kids.
"Hey now, I promised to keep you in mind in the David Steele Movie" said Clyde, "And that's only if your first movie goes without a hitch" said Rusty as he stopped to turn and pose towards Lincoln and Liam.
"Lincoln, Liam how are 2 of the coolest cats doing today" asked Rusty, "I'm doing fine" replied Liam, "It's good to see you too Rusty" said Lincoln a scrunched his nose a little as he could smell the cheap cologne coming off him.
"Same here buddy. Hey maybe when you got some free time during filming or whatever, we should definitely take a trip down to Florida, my old man and I invested in a timeshare together, and if we go there during spring break, college girls are all lose and ripe for the taking man" said Rusty.
"I'll… think about it, I've already got years of catching up with my family to do" said Lincoln, "Cool, cool, but hey hurry up man, cause we won't be handsome single studs forever" said Rusty as he took a seat next to him.
"So I guess all that's remaining is for Stella to get here and we can finally start this reunion" said Liam, "Actually we do have one more person joining us" said Clyde.
"Who man, cause last time I remembered Zach's not with us anymore" said Liam, "Wait what happened to Zach" asked Lincoln as he feared to hear that he's kicked the bucket long ago.
"To be honest man, we don't entirely know" said Rusty, "What do you mean" asked Lincoln, "We mean that about 5 years ago, Zach left us all a message saying that he and about thousand people were dead set in attempting to invade and break through Area 51 to finally expose the existence of aliens" explained Liam.
"Ok, but what happened to him" asked Lincoln, "We tried asking his parents, but they shut themselves from everyone and to that extent fell off the grid forever" said Clyde as this did not ease Lincoln's mind.
"Cheer up Lincoln, I mean for all we know, Zach is out there, just trying to remain off the grid" said Clyde reassuringly, "I mean at worst he could be a prisoner inside Area 51, which if you think about it is probably not all that bad to him, given the situation" said Liam.
"At worst he's dead and buried there" said Rusty as Liam and Clyde stared at him with a raised brow and frown.
"Or he's probably living the dream right now and managed to escape into outer space and is living the life of a king with his own alien harem" came the voice of a woman wearing a white t-shirt and some random large red oval in the center of her chest as she wore jeans, converse, and had her hair short and dyed in a dark magenta from the tips of her hair.
"Stella so glad you could make it" said Clyde in a cheerful tone" said Clyde, "Good to see you Clyde, Liam… tsk, Rusty" said Stella as she looked at Rusty in disdain.
"Stella come on, it was years ago, can you please let it go" said Rusty as Lincoln can sense there's obviously some tension between these 2, "Only cause I came here to have a good time with Lincoln, which speaking of it's good to see you Lincoln" said Stella with a smile.
"Good to see you too Stella, how's life" asked Lincoln, "Oh, you know just mundane as the life of a fisherman can go" said Stella.
"Huh, funny I figured it be exciting, what with how my grandpa used to tell me" said Lincoln, "Enough of the chit chat, let's play some games and enjoy some pizza" said Rusty as everyone cheered.
"Now hold on, I did say we had one more guest joining us" said Clyde, "But Zach's not with us anymore" said Stella.
"He's talking about me" boasted a voice with so much tude you thought we were in the 90's again.
Turning their head the group saw a young woman wearing a purple leather jacket over a black wife beater as she wore navy blue skinny jeans and black vans as she skated her way towards the group before hopping off her board, as she cracked her neck and flexed the most smug smile she could pull as her hair was long and wild, but was died in her favorite color.
"Sup nerds, long time no see" said Ronnie Ann, "Ronnie Ann, so glad you could make it out here" said Clyde.
"It's no biggie, after all I've been meaning to meet Lincoln after hearing so much about him from our sisters and nephew now" said Ronnie Ann.
"Ronnie Ann, it's good to see you again after all these years" said Lincoln with a warm smile, "I would hope so, after all the last time I saw you was at my brother and your sister's wedding on the dance floor, before you chose to bail on me mid dance" said Ronnie Ann as Lincoln could tell the passive aggressive grudge, which was further emphasized by his friends hissing in pain over hearing the revelation.
"I'm… truly sorry about that and I would really like to make it up to you" said Lincoln, "You want to make amends, give me your best and get your game on noob in DDR" said Ronnie Ann.
"Oh you're on sister. Wait that came out both wrong and accurate" said Lincoln as he and Ronnie Ann stared to 1v1 each other.
"Well I say this has been a mission success, wouldn't you think" said Stella, "Was there any doubt, now let's get some game time in before they get our pizza and other fast food snacks at the ready" said Clyde.
Taking turns between arcade machines, the group lived their lives almost exactly the same as they did as young tweens turning into teens as they bested their high scores, cheered for one another and overall making new memories and rekindling old friendships.
"So Liam, I know you're pretty much enjoying the farm life with your family, but what else is new" asked Lincoln as they were shooting basketballs in hoops.
"Well I'd say nothing special, but Clyde informed me that you've kinda locked yourself from society, so I'll tell you the highlights, some guy in California invented a motor for cars to run on ethanol and while there's not entirely a large market of city folk wanting to drive cars on corn oil, he was kind enough to sell it to us farm folk for at a more than fair discount" said Liam.
"Other than that I became the coach to my kids baseball team, and actually took them all to nationals for a few years now" said Liam with a proud smile.
"Other than that, nothing to fancy, well I guess me and my wife have thought about wanting to finally invest in taking our kids to go somewhere out of state for the summer, but that's mainly irrelevant" said Liam.
"So how about you, what have you been up to" asked Liam, "Honestly nothing, less you count me being able to buy my own apartment complex in town where there's only me and like 2 other residents whom I never talk to, then I say nothing much really" said Lincoln.
"Surely you had to do something fun and adventurous in your new playboy life" said Liam, "Nope, sorry to disappoint you, but I've been living my whole life as a NEET" said Lincoln.
"Sorry to hear that buddy" said Liam, "Don't be, it's something I consciously chose to do with my life, and while I can look back and say it probably wasn't the best thing I could have done with my life, honestly there wasn't really much to be offered to me then putting my own trust to the test" said Lincoln.
"Heh, look at me, being a downer at my own party, ain't that just rich" said Lincoln, "Hey if you want to talk about it, then please do, I mean it's not like we all came here expecting there wouldn't be a need for all of us to apologize, so let me start by saying I'm sorry for teaming up with your sister Lynn and trying to force you in investing us a brand new fancy baseball field that they normally have at MBL stadiums, it was stupid, it was wrong, and she honestly only got me to side with her for less than… promiscuous reasons" said Liam.
"Sorry I ruined your chance to make a home run with my sister" Lincoln said jokingly, "Don't be, otherwise I wouldn't have been kicked off and find my soul mate" said Liam as the 2 continued to shoot hoops, before Lincoln tagged out and chatted up with Rusty.
"Lincoln, how's it going pussycat, you ready to tag team together and kill some zombies" asked Rusty as he held a blue plastic gun, "You're on" said Lincoln with a smile as he and Rusty played a few rounds before chatting each other up.
"So, I kinda overheard your conversation with Liam, and honestly man if anyone has any reason to earn your forgiveness and apologize to you, it's me man" said Rusty.
"I honestly realize now, after doing a lot of growing up that I was truly a horrible friend to you, next to Zach, after we heard you got rich so I want to apologize for convincing you in all of those protein powder investments, those nights where I convinced you to buy some ruffies and have them dropped in those drinks when hitting on girls at the club, and more importantly I apologize for wanting you to pay for my surgery to give my Johnson a larger length and girth, and there's so much more I need to apologize and make amends with not only you, but also with all of our other friends, so can you please forgive me" asked Rusty.
"Only if you fill me in what you did to upset Stella" said Lincoln as Rusty let out a defeated sigh, "So she introduced me to this cousin of hers who dressed like your typical E-Girl, who liked to party, do recreational drugs and such, but in spite of all that she wanted to keep her virginity intact so after a night of drinking, I finally pounced her and the morning after she was under the impression that I wanted to commit the rest of my life with her, cause honestly I was fucking drunk AF that night, and well after I told her how I had no real intentions, she kinda shut herself from the world and became a NEET, and according to Stella if I even try to talk to her or her family ever again, I'm gonna find myself in a shallow grave somewhere along the Canadian border, so yeah" said Rusty as he was really ashamed of recounting this tale.
"Dude, I don't it needs to be said how messed up it is, so let that be said, but honestly man you've got to find a way to make things kosher between you and Stella, but that's between you 2, and this is between us, so… friendship restored" said Lincoln hesitantly.
"No need to force yourself, like I said I've got to make a lot of amends and I'm going to rightfully earn your guys' trust back" said Rusty as the 2 continued to play till Stella tagged in and played some air hockey.
"So Stella, what's new with you" asked Lincoln amidst the clattering sounds of the air puck, "Oh you know, living life as a fisherwoman, trying to find me a nice guys to settle down with, making sure that Rusty isn't trying to approach my family ever again if he knows what's good for him" said Stella.
"Yeah, he filled me in on the details about that, really sorry that had to happen to you guys, and even though a part of me regrets trying to vouch for him, he's trying to mend things between us" said Lincoln.
"He can start by deleting his OnlyFans account and take responsibility by making an honest woman out of my cousin" said Stella as the mention of him having an OnlyFans account was distracting enough for Lincoln that Stella earned a point.
"He has an OnlyFans account" asked Lincoln, "Yeah, personally I don't follow it, but my cousin does and cries about him choosing to bone every old biddy within Michigan" said Stella.
"And that's my cue to cringe" said Lincoln with his face all scrunched up, "Hey so long as he's not doing it with young barely legal girls anymore, I don't care who he sticks his pickle in" said Stella.
"Can we please change the subject, dear god I'm gonna need some mind soap" said Lincoln, "Gladly, have you invested your money in any illegal activity" asked Stella.
"Come again" asked Lincoln with raised brows, "Just trying to make conversation while changing the subject" said Stella innocently.
"And that was the first thing to come to mind" asked Lincoln, "Just answer the question already" said Stella.
"No, no, I pay my taxes on time, I never visit any sights on the dark web, I make sure my apartment complex is up to date and run a thorough background check on my tenants" said Lincoln.
"Really, no over indulgence of drugs or hookers even" asked Stella, "Of course not, also what's with all the questions, I feel like I'm being interrogated by the Spanish Inquisition here" said Lincoln.
Truth of the matter is that while Liam and Rusty were honest about their day of either being a farmer or running his fathers thrift shop, Stella wasn't as honest as she was about her profession.
Truth be told she was actually an agent working for the United States Quasi Government faction who's main duties are to perform espionage, assassination, saboteur, and anything else for that matter.
As such, her bosses wanted to use this advantage to finally spy on Lincoln since he's using the most expensive VPN on the market and this has literally allowed him to fall from the governments eye without the need to reside in the woods.
"No reason, just glad to know that our fearless leader isn't doing anything he shouldn't be doing" said Stella with a smile, "Really, I'm still regarded as your guys' fearless leader" asked Lincoln.
"Hey things haven't been right as rain since you left our circle of friends, for good reasons mind you, and well it's good to have you back in our lives" said Stella.
"Thanks Stella, I needed to hear that" said Lincoln as she was the only person besides Clyde who really didn't try to abuse his new found wealth, and even then holding a grudge for spending a 100 bucks on arcade tokens really sends super petty.
Eventually the group had wind down a little and enjoyed a nice hot meal of pizza, garlic knots, and cheese fries as they circled around.
"I propose we make a toast, to Lincoln. Welcome back buddy" said Clyde as he lifted his soft drink cup, "To Lincoln" cheered everyone else.
"And to our friend Zach, wherever you are guy, I hope you're living a happy life" said Lincoln as the group made another hearty cheer for their missing member.
In a Galaxy far, far away
While it is true that Zach does miss his friends and family now and again, they were only after thoughts in his moments of solace when he's alone, and even then that's rare for him and his new life.
As for what his new life is, it's quite simple really, he's literally a king on an alien planet and is living the life to the fullest, meaning he spends his days in his underwear, getting fat like an ape, and the best part being he has his own personal harem surrounding him.
"Does your massage feel good King Zach" asked a green skinned, chrome outfit wearing alien woman, "It feels great babe" said Zach as he turned his head around and open his mouth as another alien fed him grapes.
"So what's on todays agenda" asked Zach as each girls suggested anything and everything to fulfill his fantasy, ranging from whip cream bath, spanking, horsey rides, and tentacle play.
"Well girls, it is your fantasy" said Zach in a very giddy tone before his train of though was interrupted by a blue skinned alien girl wearing a chrome bikini.
"Sorry I'm late dear, I had to deal with those boorish big wigs in the council today" said the blue skinned woman, "That's alright my dear, why not come here and snuggle up with daddy while hailing to your king baby" said Zach as his queen and wife didn't need to be told twice as the group would frolic about I joy like they did for many years now and many more decades to come.
Back on Earth
One by one everyone was bidding farewell and saying their goodbyes as they all promised to do this again sometime soon.
"Take care Lincoln, and don't be a stranger now, come down by the farm" said Liam as the 2 hugged it out, "I won't see you soon buddy" said Lincoln.
"Well my guy it was pretty fly to see and hang with you again, we should definitely do this again" said Rusty, "We should, also Stella mentions that if you want to start by making things right as rain, she mentions you have to delete your OnlyFans account and make an honest woman with her cousin again" said Lincoln.
"Wait she knows of my OnlyFans account and the ladies I sleep with" asked Rusty, "Yeah and we wish we could forget about it, but for what it's worth, she only knows because her cousin still follows and yearns for your affection" said Lincoln as this new found knowledge sunk in pretty hard with Rusty.
"Thanks I've… got some things to think about" said Rusty as he finally walked on ahead.
"For the record, him doing the right thing, doesn't mean it'll be right for us, but it's a start" said Stella as she went and hugged Lincoln.
"It's good to see you Stella" said Lincoln, "You too, and please keep that nose of yours clean" said Stella before she too finally left the establishment.
Feeling the lips of someone pecking him on the cheek, Lincoln turned to face Ronnie Ann as she had a smile on her face.
"It's good to see you again and in person Lincoln" said Ronnie Ann, "It's good to see you too, although you're more than welcome to come by my place so we can hang out" said Lincoln.
"Not saying I wouldn't want to, it's just I have a boyfriend, and were only siblings based on our siblings tying the knot, not by blood so you know" said Ronnie Ann, "I get you, but hey we do got an awesome nephew together who'd probably love to hang out with his cool uncle and the coolest aunt he's got" said Lincoln.
"It's date then lover boy, take care" Ronnie Ann as she skated away from Lincoln as it was just he and Clyde now.
"Thanks for arranging this, I really appreciate it" said Lincoln, "My pleasure, and please think about what I said earlier" said Clyde.
"I will, I'll see you later man" said Lincoln as he and Clyde walked opposite directions with Lincoln feeling his whole life was whole once more, and even though he felt some pressure from Clyde, he was still the one in control as to who he has relationships with for whatever kind.
And yet he still has but a handful of confrontations he needs to do, whether he likes it or not.
And we're done guys, another chapter up and running a lot faster than the last one as promised as we edge closer towards the end of this fic.
Also before I say anything else, don't expect anything to happen between Ronnie Ann or Lincoln anytime soon in regard for them having a more intimate relationship as that was a one time kiss.
Otherwise as always leave me your guys thoughts on what you thought of this chapter in the review section cause I would really like to hear your thoughts since this has been requested a few times, so I only ask for your thoughts in regards of my execution and if you liked it please be sure to fave and follow.
Until next time, be safe, be good people, and please support your local fandom communities.
