The Princess and the space cowboy Chapter 63: Lighthouse, a loud house fanfic

Author's Notes: Farewell, Casagrandes, here's to one last tribute to its main character: Ronnie Anne.

Mzk: Yeah, it's staggering how much people hated the show with a burning passion, specially here in Latin America, honestly i kind of grief the fact that the Loud House universe has been overall shrunk due to its cancellation, we'll see what the future of Ronnie and Bobby looks like in the next months. Thank you so much for providing a review for each chapter! "Kids" and "Dairyland" were specially difficult to write due to wanting to highlight the positive aspects of Lincoln and Lola's relationship while still showcasing the myriad of problems in it, some of which are necessary to understand this arc.

Now for the story: I'm just going to leave a Trigger Warning here and let you all figure out why.

Chapter 63: Lighthouse.

The repeated, excruciating sounds of snoring of the entire Loud family were resonating through the sturdy wooden walls of the barely presentable cottage that the planning couple had been able to afford for their family, thankfully, it was just good enough for most members to drift to sleep, woefully tired after a long and wild evening of varied activities, courtesy of the newlyweds, who had taken the privilege of renting a private suite just for them elsewhere.

Not for Lincoln though, as he continuously rolled over again and again in his arranged small bed, mostly separate from the cabins that his sisters, parents and grandparents were all sharing, unable to close his eyes and take a quick nap, not only was he not feeling as tired as the others from lack of meaningful engagement in the "dancing" part of the night, but the combining snoring of all of his family in a single place was successfully pilling up to produce a cacophonous symphony of deafening marvel, which for a teenager as used to silence as he had become in these last months, before Lori's intervention, meant chaos.

He had enough with pretending to sleep for that night, he slowly stood up from his "creative" sleeping arrangement and quickly turned on the wooden door of the small place, heading outside to the much calmer road leading to the concealed beach.

The road was not that long, as they had successfully managed to rent two small cottages for both families only a few feet away from the man-made passage to the well-kept shore, which was also conveniently located near an active lighthouse that provided enough illumination for everything to be visible at night.

Which is why he found himself at a shock, that walking only a few feet closer to the limit between the beach and the sea allowed him to visualize the silhouette of a girl sitting near the impact zone of the waves, but far enough to remain dry.

Curious, Lincoln approached the figure, the dimly illuminated area by the lighthouse allowing to register visual information a little more clearer, the figure had long, blonde hair, ending on the top with a characteristic cowlick, now he had a pretty good idea of who she was, the new question was, why?

He arrived to the place were Lola was sitting and sat besides her, taking in a deep breath of acceptably warm air, despite the season, and proceeded to watch the stars that were mildly visible through the visual contamination of the lighthouse.

- What are you doing here? - Lola decided to break the silence, still without any eye contact.

- Couldn't sleep, what about you? - Lincoln returned the question.

- … same, didn't remember our family could be that noisy! - Lola retorted with some energy.

- Heh, then you don't remember your own snoring? - Lincoln looked from the sky back to his girlfriend to tease her.

- You're going there now, whistler? - Lola retaliated back, also looking back at her boyfriend's eyes.

- hahahaha - Lincoln couldn't keep serious for long, after an overall busy day, with many obligations following his designated job as Lori's best man, he finally felt relaxed enough to enjoy the environment around him, the strong breeze of the sea hitting his face with comforting caresses at the same time that it worked to move Lola's pristine, golden hair, highlighting her perfect face, which showed her deep, pure blue eyes being illuminated by the tenuous light of the moon followed by the soft traces of artificial light from the lighthouse…

Right… now he was unable to detach his vision from the incredibly gorgeous girl besides him, giving him the indescribably strong need to get his face closer to hers and get a feeling of her lips.

Lola saw how his expression quickly turned from a teasing look straight to a face that denoted a deep longing, and she was more than willing to let him perform whatever advance he wanted, she too got ready to hungrily receive his lips, and closed her eyes expecting the glorious pay-off for today's patience.

- Lincoln? - As soon as the distance of their lips became none, a voice was heard approaching slowly, footsteps on the sand indicated that it was still far, but regardless, this made the couple enter quick panic mode as they quickly resumed their original positions, Lincoln then turned his head to watch for the interruptor in question.

It was Ronnie Anne.

The hispanic girl got closer to the previously unsuspecting pair sitting by the beach and decided to sit to the left of Lincoln, making him the guy in the middle, as he continued looking curiously at her actions, averting his face away from Lola's.

Then she spoke.

- Couldn't sleep either huh? - Ronnie referred to the two people sitting besides her as she too paid attention to the firmament above.

- Guilty as charged - Lincoln replied while looking directly at her.

- Let me guess, snoring and whistling from your gramps? - Ronnie raised her eyebrow and directed her view to the boy in orange pajamas.

- More like, everyone! - Lincoln answered before letting out a quick laugh alongside his friend.

- Haha, same, although I think it's slightly more tolerable without Lalo and Sergio, you're lucky you don't have pets that noisy! - Ronnie continued the conversation with mild hilarity. - That is to say, I had… other reasons to not be able to go to sleep - She returned to a more serious demeanor, to the surprise of the two people besides her.

- Really? What comes? - Lincoln raised his own eyebrow at the revelation.

- Meh, not that big of a deal - Ronnie quickly hand waved the question away - Now that I think about it, why are you here Lola? - Rather, she decided to direct her attention to the other person sitting by the beach, who had remained silent through their exchanges.

- I… guess I also needed a distraction - Lola answered mildly while producing a grin for the other girl to see.

The way she answered implied a different connotation than just to "escape noise", as Lincoln had interpreted before, leaving him slightly concerned.

- Well I guess it's clear then, we all need a distraction! - Ronnie got up from her spot and put her hand on her chin in thinking fashion - mmm… Got it! - She snapped her fingers before looking back at the pair - Let's go to the Lighthouse, Sid told me that some places here at Miami are… haunted! - She did her hardest interpretation of a ghost, earning a chuckle from Lincoln and a gasp from Lola -

- Cool! What do you say Lols? - Lincoln replied excitedly to Ronnie Anne's proposition, then looked back to his sister, hopeful for a positive answer.

- Uhhh… - Lola took a quick gulp before composing herself back - sure… no problem! - She then got up from her spot as grabbed Lincoln's hand for comfort while attempting to look at Ronnie Anne with a smile.

- Ok, then let's get going! - Ronnie said excitedly as she took a step forward and walked towards the eerie looking light house, which was only a few feet away from where they were sitting.

Upon reaching the rocky base where the lighthouse was standing proud, the trio headed to the supposed location of the degraded wooden door, Ronnie and Lincoln were feeling the adrenaline rushing through their blood, at last, an exciting activity for the two!

Lola was… less than elated at the prospect, not being one for scary experiences, she limited her actions to just keep herself within close proximity of her brother, trembling a little of the action that Lincoln's long lost friend was about to do.

- Let me check, this thing should open with a swift kick! - Ronnie got ready on her karate position, before striking the wooden door hard, allowing the rusty shackles keeping the building closed to break and allowing them access to the inside, Lincoln watched at the action with starry looking eyes in admiration, while Lola hid behind him with a quick yeep of surprise.

- There, come in! - Ronnie signaled the pair behind her with pride.

Little was their surprise at finding a large deposit full of all kinds of junk, barely distinguishable from each other in the dark, followed by a large, spiraling staircase leading to the top of the tower, the trio entered the building, armed with nothing but the lantern function of Ronnie Anne's phone, who was the only one actually prepared to explore anything in the intense darkness inside, they were now looking through the many diving and sailor equipment, livesaver tires, engines and replacement bulbs, hoping to find any sort of interesting "disturbance" while they profaned the place.

- Dang it! Should have brought my ARGGH! Equipment - Lincoln cursed to himself, his mind quickly centered on adventure.

- You still watch that junk? Crap is fake as hell! - Ronnie took her chance to tease him accordingly.

- Oh yeah? Well at least I didn't write a petition to the channel to re-run Adiós Ana, Adiós for the 4th time ~ - Lincoln teased back while earning a quick blush from his friend, who retracted back to grab him by his collarbone, making him drop Lola's hand in the process.

- How did you know that! - Ronnie shouted alarmingly.

- Let's just say your friends and my friends aren't that disconnected from each other - Lincoln retained his confident grin.

- Ugh, Sid promised to keep that secret - Ronnie let go of the albino as she turned around and covered her face in embarrassment, Lincoln, who was now watching from her back, couldn't help himself but to burst In laughter.

This earned him Ronnie's attention, who quickly turned back with a raised fist.

- Very funny dude - The hispanic girl glared at the boy, still unable to control his laughter, but then she had another idea - You've earned it Loser - She returned a rude smirk to her face as she made the intentional sound of knuckles cracking, which effectively ended the albino's laughing session.

- Oh come on Ronnie Anne, it's not that serious - Lincoln looked at her face directly with a nervous expression, while also instinctively rubbing his left arm in anticipation to her devastating punch.

- Too late lame-o, prepare for one! - Ronnie readied her fist, as she approached the boy further, making Lincoln close his eyes in dreaded anticipation.

… but no punch came.

Instead, what he felt was a warm embrace, he felt the weight of Ronnie's head as it became nestled in his left shoulder, the hug then became stronger, prompting himself to let go of his mental barriers, of his defensive stance, of everything.

He hugged her back, the warm feeling of a hug coming from a real friend was something that he sorely missed, more than anything, his loneliness and his guilt disappeared if only for that fleeting period of time, he longed for a genuine friendship again, the kind of comfort that he hadn't felt ever since he fucked over the bond that he had with Clyde.

The two teenagers finally let go, looking at each other directly in the eyes, both were surprised at the emotional intensity of the moment, as they could barely perceive the outline of their eyes become moister due to the dominating darkness, but alas, they had to find a way to talk again.

- I've missed you, friend - Ronnie spoke first, no ironical intent behind.

- Me too Ronnie Anne, I don't know why we stopped hanging around… - Lincoln melancholically replied back, unable to focus elsewhere.

- I… don't know either, life got in the way, I guess I just wanted to focus on my friends back in Great Lakes City, I foolishly though I didn't have time for people in Royal Woods anymore - Ronnie looked to the side in embarassment.

- Yeah… life can throw you many curveballs - Lincoln replied ironically, hiding a much darker intent through his words.

- No kidding… - The girl agreed - Let's not make that mistake again! - She increased the distance separating her from the albino, as she presented her pinky, telepathically signaling for Lincoln to seal the promise.

- I'm so glad we had Lori and Bobby marry, now we're technically connected by law haha - Lincoln commented funnily while connecting his pinky to hers, completing their promise.

- What, are you going to say that it's some kind of "destiny" shit? - Ronnie averted her gaze, looking to the floor.

- Hey, it's only if you want to see it like that! - Lincoln laughed at the notion, having gotten over the awkwardness of their first encounter earlier today - Anyways, maybe we should take a look at the top of the lighthouse now that we are here, what do you think Lols?… Lols? - Lincoln looked behind him to confirm the presence of his partner.

No sight of her.

He panicked.

- Wait Lincoln! - Ronnie barely managed to get those words out, but it was useless, he was already running out there, frantically searching for that clingy sister of his.

- … maybe destiny has to wait… - She thought to herself, before rushing back in to assist him in searching for the princess.

Threading in the heavy bushes leading to a small, but dense green section close to where the lighthouse was located, in an area that seemed miraculously unexplored by humans and was covered with tall vegetation, palms and some other small trees enveloping the location, was the sweaty figure of an agitated adventurer.

Lincoln was still on the search of his sister, who had probably ran away, never one to allow herself to show weakness to others, his feelings were confusing on the matter, for one, he wanted to slap some sense into her so that she would stop randomly running away, but another stronger side just wanted him to find her, envelop her in his arms, apologize for all the things that may have upset her and then continue cuddling until the morning hours.

As if signaled correctly by a biological magnet in his system, it didn't take long for his search to prove successful, he spotted the figure, hugging her legs with her face planted on her lap, while supporting her back on the trunk of a big palm tree, he now quietly approached the subject, afraid of scaring her away, or worse, hearing her desperate cries, the ones that were powerful enough to break his heart and turn him into a living bundle of guilt.

He reached her side, and was surprised to hear no reaction or any sound of sniffing, he sat by her side and put a supportive hand on her back, hoping to make her rise her head to look back at him.

She did.

- Lincoln, what are you doing here? - Lola looked neither sad or happy to see him by her side, rather, she was now looking questioningly at him.

- Lola, I should honestly be mad at you right now, don't you realize that something really bad can happen to you if you keep running away like that? - Lincoln frowned.

- … sorry - Lola looked down while whispering her apology.

- … Look, I'm sorry if it seemed that her and I were getting too close or something, I just wanted to reconnect with a friend ok? - The albino replied shamefully, looking to the side.

- No! On the contrary, I'm really happy for you, Linky - Lola lifted her head instantly to focus her eyes on her brother once again with an apparent smile, eliciting a weirded out look from him.

- Wha-

- In fact, I realize that this whole lighthouse thingy was more of a "you and Ronnie Anne" moment from the very beginning, I just wanted to respect that - Lola continued with her eerie mood, to her brother's astonishment.

- So that's why you left the place? - Lincoln raised an eyebrow, looking for concrete answers.

- Well… yeah, that and the fact that I'm not a big fan of spooky houses, y'know? - Lola retained her smile while speaking to him.

- …Right, sorry for forcing you to go Lols - Lincoln cringed slightly, but looked back in understanding.

- You did not force me to go Linky - Lola felt the need to clear that out - I… thought I could handle it, if only to do some of the things that you like to do, I wanted to share more of your hobbies! - Her smile began fading away - But I just have to accept that girls like Ronnie Anne can do that job better than me, hehe - She tried to entertain a smile again, but instead, a few tears began rolling down.

This made Lincoln's protectiveness flare up.

- Lols, what's wrong! - He shouted while bringing her closer to him with his arm.

- It's nothing, r-really! - Lola managed to bring a smile again - I'm just so happy for you, over there, there is a girl that you can talk literally anything with, a girl that can get along and play all the things you like to play, a girl that has a much closer personality to yours and can always make you laugh - Through her smile, however, the tears kept flowing - a girl that's almost your same a-age - the tears kept pouring, increasing in volume - that you can actually m-marry someday - by now, her eyes looked flooded - that won't get your family and friends to *sniff* h-hate you forever - she stopped her speech to run her small hands on her eyes, a desperate attempt to keep her image.

But Lincoln had had enough.

- Lola! What are you even talking about! - He shouted desperately at the apparent angst that his beautiful sister was trying to hide.

- Linky, i think it's time isn't it? - Lola laid her head on his chest, partly in an attempt to hide her sorrow, partly, to feel his forbidden warmth one last time - I love you with all of my heart, you give me a reason to try to become better everyday, to fulfill my dreams, and to continue living my life…normally - She sighed before continuing - I thank you deeply for returning my feelings, for letting me be your girlfriend, to relieve my wildest fantasies by your side and to daydream of us becoming a family someday - She began grasping for air at her words, pouring inhumane amount of effort to continue her speech - But I think that's enough, Lincoln, you have a chance with Ronnie Anne to go back to having a normal life, and I honestly think that you should *sniff* t-t-take it - Lola got her last words before finally giving in to her grief, as a last ditch effort, she got up from her spot and prepared to run again, she needed to face the rest of her selfishness alone, as she deserved.

It wouldn't happen though, as she was promptly immobilized by the strong grip of the boy that she had just ended things with.

- Lincoln, please, let me go, please, I'm doing this for your own *sniff* good… - Lola tried to no avail to release herself from his grasp, but rather than being successful, he only pulled harder, making her sit on his lap, then, she felt his arms enveloping her, making her unable to move.

- Do you think I will just fucking let you go like that!? - His accent was venomous, his grip was forceful, and his glare was murderous, she could feel it through her back, sending chills upon her very essence.

- Listen well, Lola, I wouldn't be doing this if I was just a fizzling coward that would run away the moment I could find a "normal" woman to be with! - He continued his assault, and Lola could only continue her cries of anguish - Do you really believe I hadn't thought about that before? Lola, you're my biological sister, you're right, we're freaks of nature, our family will look down on us the moment they know, we will never marry under official terms, we will never be able to form a family without being prosecuted, if we decide to have kids, they'll probably come with all sorts of problems, and yes, we'll probably have to keep our relationship low profile for the rest of our lives, for both the sake of your career and mine… - He added grimly, not easing his grip one bit.

- Still - He continued, a little more calm now - I chose you, over everyone else, knowing about the consequences, knowing about the limitations, knowing about the risks… why do you think that was! - His frown softened, now looking to get a glimpse of her face as she too, calmed down.

- … please don't s-say it - Lola put her arms on her ears in a desperate attempt to hide from the truth.

- Lola, I love you too, with all of my being, I am madly in love with you, you are the only girl that exists in my eyes, Ronnie Anne is a cool friend, but she'll never be you - Lincoln now looked warmly at the girl squirming below him - She has more hobbies to share with me, so what? Was she there when I was at my lowest? Was she cheering me up through my insecurity? Was she supporting me when I needed help? Does she share an awesome story with me about a princess and a space cowboy? - With new found kindness, Lincoln released her grip and allowed his girlfriend to turn around on her own, facing him with sparkly, wet eyes, but still, with a slight frown in her face.

- Linky please, stop, you're making a mistake - She tried to convince him one last time.

- The only mistake I made was to not take my chance and dance with you a little back then - He placed his eyes, full of warmth, directly on hers, extracting a very small, but noticeable smile.

- There is no happiness to be found here, Lincoln - Lola insisted.

- There is no happiness to be found without you either, my princess - Lincoln replied confidently.

And that was enough for the young girl to take, she aggressively pushed herself on the boy in front on her, pressing her lips on his and allowing herself to taste the forbidden nectar, the one that gives her life, the one that she cannot live without anymore, no matter how many mental barriers she tried to make for herself, no matter how "selfless" she tried to be for his sake.

She craved this, she needed this.

She needed him.

Current setting be disregarded, their make out session continued increasing in sheer intensity, tongues rolling over and overthrowing the other, Lola's moans were now becoming audible for the boy, who responded naturally, letting his hands roam free through her body, getting inside her pink tank top and getting a hold of her nipples, who were readily erect in anticipation to his soft touches, this in turn caused the girl to squirm in front of him, making progressively louder moaning sounds.

Their lips separated, an indication for the couple to gasp for air, then, Lola took her chance to lift his shirt, leaving his naked torso in plain sight for her, causing a carnal purr in her, as she quickly took her chance to assault his neck, licking and sucking every nook and cranny, but being aware enough to not leave a mark, still, she continued tracing wet kisses through his body, making sure to also play with his own nipples, allowing for a soft moan to also escape his lips.

Her trail of kisses had reached the end of his waist line, the rest of her path was blocked by his orange boxers, but considering the stretchy fabric, that would be a problem, in this case though, it was Lincoln who took the initiative, removing everything from his waist down and allowing his springy erection to pop out, to Lola's immediate satisfaction.

She eyed his throbbing stiffness with welcoming eyes and made the bold step to grab it with her left hand, redirecting the tip to the entrance of her watering mouth, then, she swallowed the tip, moving her arm slowly in quick up and down motions as she licked the tip continuously, earning her gasp and moans from her partner; she continued proudly on her job, following her action by swallowing his entire shaft directly, and proceeded to bob her head up and down, increasing her motions over time and earning her the continuous cute moans of her lover that her heart desired.

But of course, her own, aching area down below indicated that she too, needed release.

Soon after, she stopped her ministrations, leaving the boy below her in bliss, then stopped to remove her own clothing, allowing the boy to take a glimpse of her slightly more noticeable breasts and her round, firm ass; she then presented her wet, dripping pussy and aligned it to his throbbing dick, and at last, she lowered herself, no slow build up required, her walls adapted to his shape in no time, almost as if she had been programed to please him and only him.

Her rhythm was frantic, her moans almost uncontrollably loud, only matched by his own, but she remained on the lead, riding her (space) cowboy with no reserves, her walls clasping on his rod as they made wet popping sounds every time, Lola kept moving up and down, almost jumping on his reddened organ as the violence of her actions could only be rivaled by the passion of her stare, she took that opportunity to muffle both of their moans with another messy, sloppy kiss, the motion of their hips being put on auto-pilot, as Lincoln himself began grabbing her ass for support as he pounded her harder and harder.

Eventually, the strength of their release caught up to them, Lincoln broke the kiss with his girlfriend and proceeded to lift her away as his dick exploded in a hot, white, creamy mess, some of which even got into her face, which Lola happily accepted by licking it away.

- You made your choice, Lincoln Loud, now you cannot regret it ok? - Lola barely got over her own tiredness before reminding her boyfriend of the irreversibility of his actions and words today.

- Do I look like I regret it? - Lincoln answered without a trace of doubt in his voice, still recovering his breath.

- hehe, I know, but don't expect me to control my greed or my jealousy, at least when it comes to you ~ - Lola bumped his nose with bedroom eyes, teasing him further.

- So no hanging with Ronnie Anne, got it - Lincoln jumped to conclusions, apparently ready to follow through.

- No silly, you can have her friendship, I wouldn't object to that! - Lola got slightly serious at the implications of her brother, for as much as it flattered her, she wasn't about to go possessive again.

- Really? No problem? - Lincoln commented with slight surprise.

- Of course not, she's a close friend of yours from the past and now you have the chance to fix your friendship, I trust you Lincoln, today you showed me even further just how much you actually love me, and I can say that I'm the happiest girlfriend on earth right now! - Lola looked deep into his eyes while saying that, displaying her honesty - So, let's get dressed up and go back to the lighthouse, we kind of left her hanging y'know? - she said while getting up from his lap, signaling the albino to follow suit.

- Hi Ronnie Anne! - Lincoln made an appearance out of the dense bushy area, followed by his sister, who was back at firmly grabbing his hand.

- There you are you two, I was about to call the others to search for you! - Ronnie approached the pair with a frown.

- heh, Sorry it took me a little longer to find her, she was very deep into those woods, right Lola? - Lincoln urged his sister to do some talking.

- y-yeah, sorry Ronnie Anne, I don't really like creepy settings that much, I sort of heard a noise and ran away and then I lost track to where I was going, thankfully Linky here found me - Lola completed her story, hoping for the hispanic girl to believe her.

The hispanic girl simply nodded, releasing her frown.

- Ok then, sorry Lola, didn't know you weren't into these kind of plans! - Ronnie approached the girl and stretched her hand.

- No need to, I kind of forced myself to go through with this - Lola accepted the formal handshake.

- Yeah, so, anyways, I think i'm about to split here guys, it's almost dawn, wouldn't want my family to wake up without me - Ronnie quickly retracted back while scratching the back of her head, earning her weird looks from the pair of siblings, but then they too understood the indirect.

- Yeah, now that I think about it, I AM feeling tired - Lincoln let out a yawn as he gripped his girlfriend's hand, who also looked tired for the night.

- Bye Lincoln, bye Lola! - The skater girl gave her final farewell to the siblings before running back to her home.

She felt disgusted by being anywhere near them.
