Chapter 40
(Sunday, Royal Woods, Loud House Residence)
It has been two weeks since the creation of the tree house, the sisters who were responsible for the almost horrible damage are no longer grounded and Lana's left leg is all healed up
Lincoln is in the tree house, just relaxing by himself wearing headphones and listening to some techno beat, he's not hanging out with his friends for multiple reasons, Jordan is at take your daughter to work day, Tabby and Liam are having a normal hang out session and Stella is with her family at Aloha beach resort and won't be back till next week
Also Lincoln heard that Clyde won't be back from his nanas until the end of two months, still unknown as to why, but at least all of Lincoln's friends are happy with their own thing and Jordan's friends are also busy, they still haven't had a chance to see the Tree House, but Jordan promises they will, soon
Lincoln looks to his watch and notices the time, he decides to climb down from the tree house, but first he had to lock the door and raise up the rope ladder
Lincoln enters the kitchen and drinks some water, he then walks past the dining room, not hearing Lori asking her sisters about her golf tournament
Lincoln walks upstairs to head to the room he shares with Luna, but then Lynn Jr gets in front of him
Okay, Lincoln can't really hear here because of his headphones, so she's just mouthing words that he can't understand
Lincoln realizes he was still wearing headphones, he then takes them off "So you in?" asked Lynn
"Sorry Lynn, I was listening to music" replied Lincoln, this kinda annoyed her "Are you kidding me?" said Lynn
"Calm down, I was just enjoying myself, now what is it you were asking me?" asked Lincoln
Lynn groans in annoyance "I said that my team is gonna be competing in the junior finals and you're the only family member who hasn't been to any of my games yet, and I was wondering if you could be there?" said Lynn
"Sorry Lynn, I had to attend the others with their activities, Lori's golf tournaments, Leni's summer fashion shows, coaching Lola for her pageants, Lucy's séance and helping her speak to ghosts, which I couldn't hear and helping Luan with funny business" said Lincoln
"Come on Lincoln! We're a family and we all support each other" replied Lynn in annoyance
Lincoln shakes his head "Sorry Lynn, but I need at least one day for myself and all of my friends and my girlfriend are busy with their thing" said Lincoln
Than Lynn shows him her baseball bat "Are you sure you won't reconsider?" asked Lynn
Lincoln just looks at her and her bat "What are you doing?" asked Lincoln, then he realizes "Wait a minute! Are you threatening me?!" asked Lincoln in shock
"What! No I was just ….. And I …. Gosh darn it! Lincoln you have to come to my game!" yelled Lynn "I am not going Lynn, I need a break!" yelled Lincoln
"I'm gonna break your face if you don't go!" said Lynn as she rears her bat "You're gonna hurt me! Are you for real?!" yelled Lincoln
"What is going on up there?!" they both turn to see Lori who was downstairs with the others, they notice Lynn was holding her baseball bat
"Lynn! Lincoln! What is going on?!" asked Lori "I ….. I … You know what! He doesn't wanna go to my baseball game!" yelled Lynn "And he has to come! This family supports each other!" yelled Lynn
They couldn't believe what they were hearing "Lynn, we do support each other, but we all have our limits" said Lori "And Lincoln has been doing a lot of helping with us last week" said Luan
"True, and since his friends and Jordan are occupied by their own social activities, I believe this is the right opportunity for our male sibling to partake into his own things" said Lisa
"Oh come on guys!" said Lynn in annoyance, Luna and Leni noticed her bat and gasp "W-Were you trying to hurt Linky?!" asked Leni in worry
The other sisters gasp, Lynn looks at her bat and drops it "W-What? No I wasn't I was … just …. Threatening him?" said Lynn nervously
Now they were as stunned as a deer in the headlights, they all walked up the stairs "What is wrong with you!" yelled Lori "Are you trying to send him to the hospital?!" yelled Lola "I've already been there and I don't want Lincoln to go there as well!" said Lana
Lynn tries to find an excuse out of this, but then she's grabbed by her ponytail by Luna "Ow! What the heck!"
She then sees an enraged Luna "Are you serious dude! You want our brother to be beaten to a bloody pulp, do you have any idea how wrong that sounds! Did you even think about what you were gonna say to him?!" yelled Luna
Hearing this made Lincoln's anger turn to slight fear, he backs up and hides behind Leni
"Girls!" yelled Lynn Sr "What is going on up there?!" yelled Rita
The sisters all looked at Lynn "Mom and Dad have to know" said Lucy "What! No please!" begged Lynn "There shall be no convincing us" said Lisa
Luna dropped Lynn, then Lori grabbed her by the arm, with Lincoln following them, looking a bit nervous
They made it to the bottom to face their parents, Lori proceeded to shove Lynn in front of them, the parents knew Lynn had something to do with whatever they were fighting about "Lynn Jr, what did you do?" asked Rita
Lynn looked at her sisters and Luna who was comforting her brother "Well?!" said Lynn Sr, Lynn didn't know what to say
So Lori said it "She confronted Lincoln as he was headed upstairs"
"She told Lincoln about her team in the junior finals" said Luan
"Linky didn't wanna go, he was busy all week with us and needs some time to himself" said Leni
"So our sports enthusiastic sister threatened him with a baseball bat if he would not partake" said Lisa
The parents gasp "Lynn!" they yelled "how could you do that to your own brother!" said Rita
"B-But this family supports each other" said Lynn Jr "You said so dad"
Lynn Sr sighs "Yes I did and I don't think I was perfectly specific at that time" said Lynn Sr "We are a family and we do support each other, but we can't always be there, we all have our limits and your brother too" said Lynn Sr
"When Lori was at her third golf tournament, I couldn't be there because I had to help Dr. Feinstein with ten children who had cavity issues" said Rita
"And I couldn't be there when Leni was making her first summer style fashion show, I was at a meeting" said Lynn Sr
All the girls also agreed, Lynn realized what she just did, she then looked at Lincoln "Bro, I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to try and hurt you" said Lynn who was now filled with guilt
Lincoln was still a little scared of her, but he couldn't be mad at her "I guess I can forgive you, but after what you nearly tried to do to me, I can't seem to trust you" said Lincoln "That's fair" replied Lynn Jr as she looks down in sadness
Then Lynn turned to her parents "So, am I grounded?" asked Lynn
The parents look at each other and then to Lynn "Yes you are, for one week" said Lynn Sr, Lynn Jr looks down in sadness once more
Lincoln then feels bad for Lynn "Mom, Dad, I think you should ground her after her big games" said Lincoln
All the sisters were shocked by this, but Lori, Luna and Leni understood that this was Lincoln trying to make this right
The parents also knew this as well "Okay son, she'll be grounded until the whole season is over" said Lynn Sr
Suddenly Lynn hugs Lincoln "Thank you little bro!" said Lynn Jr, Lincoln smiles and returns the hug "its okay sis, just never threaten me or anyone else here with a dangerous sports equipment again" said Lincoln
They break the hug "Okay Lincoln, I will" suddenly Lynn Sr looks at his watch "Okay LJ time for you to head to the game" they all head into vanzilla, but first they wave goodbye to Lincoln "Have fun with your privacy Linky" said Leni "And don't talk to strangers!"
"Leni, he's gonna be in the house" said Lori
"Oh, then don't let strangers in the house to talk to you!" said Leni, they all face palm at what she just said and drive off
Lincoln feels happier for some reason "Strange, I feel like, if that never happened, something else would have gone wrong" Lincoln then heads back inside to watch some TV
(! Hour later)
Lincoln is now in the kitchen making himself a sandwich, until he hears a window crash, Lincoln runs around the house, but he sees that not a single window was damaged "Oh come on!" coming from outside
Lincoln rushes outside to see Mr. Grouse coming out of his house "Loud! I told you to stop playing your dang baseballs!" yelled the cantankerous old man
"Umm, Lynn's not here, or the others I'm the only one" replied Lincoln, this kinda shocked the old man "Oh, well I know you didn't do this, but someone did! So where is your family?" asked Mr. Grouse
"They're at ….. Lynn's baseball ….. Game" said Lincoln, the two neighbors now realize where the baseball came from "And Lynn must've hit a home run" said Lincoln
"Glad we both know what happened" said Mr. Grouse
(Later)
Vanzilla comes back and parks at the driveway, Luna spots Lincoln sitting under the tree in the front yard reading a comic book
They all get out "My team is advancing to the finals!" said Lynn with excitement "Let me guess, you hit a homerun?" said Lincoln
They were all shocked at what he just said "Yeah, how did you know that?" asked Lana
Then Lincoln looks to their left, they also turn to see an angry Mr. Grouse "Mr. Grouse?" said Rita
"I believe this is yours" said Mr. Grouse as he shows them the baseball, Lynn was shocked at what it was, then they all turn to see the broken window to his house, the parents gulp
"Maybe we can figure out the payment differently?" asked Lynn Sr "Sure, instead of money, how about three pans of your Lynnsagna" said Mr. Grouse
Lynn Sr sighs "Fine" he then heads inside the house and towards the kitchen "I'll be waiting" said Mr. Grouse as he returns to his house
The others head inside as well "I can't believe my homerun went that far" said Lynn "At least it didn't hit any window from our house" said Lori
Lincoln heads to his room and then gets a call from Jordan "Hey there beautiful, how was the bring-you-daughter to work go out?" asked Lincoln
"It went pretty awesome! I helped my dad out with some of his business rivals" said Jordan "So how was your day?" asked Jordan
Lincoln smiled "You have no idea how mines went"
Turned a "No such Luck" into a better ending, well sort of, please review
