Chapter 52
(Royal Woods, Ketchum Park. Midday)
Lincoln, Jordan and Lucy are sitting by the picnic tables while listening to Lynn at what she did with the others during their stay on the cruise ship. Also while Lynn is telling them she's bouncing a soccer ball with her feet and knees.
"And I could've won the shuffle board game if Scoots didn't drive by me full speed yelling 'Yolo!' Lola got lucky that time!" said Lynn.
"Wow! At least you guys had fun" said Lincoln. Lynn then kicks the soccer ball away. "After my lost shuffle board game to Lola and I had to pay up since we were betting. I decided to go hit the pool" said Lynn Jr.
But little did she know. When she kicked the soccer ball, she kicked it hard.
The ball bounced off of the fountain. Off a pick-up truck. On a tree. Pass Flip and his little Flippie vending business and the Louds and Jordan didn't notice it flying over their heads.
The ball makes a beeline pass a squirrel and hits the swing set. Making it spin up like a high speed Ferris wheel. All the kids there can only watch it spin quickly. "Wow!" they all say, even Darcy was there.
The ball then flies off of the swing set and bounces off the restroom door. "Occupied!" yelled Mr. Grouse who was inside.
The ball then bounces off a criminal's car that was speeding and heads back to the park at full speed.
A good thing it hit the man's car. He crashes after seeing the ball bounce off of the hood and the cops surround him. "Dang it!" said the crook.
Lynn readies to grab the ball on her left while still telling them of the guy who landed face first into the pool.
What she doesn't know. The ball was coming to her right side and the speed of it would be very painful. And direct hit!
Lynn stumbles onto the ground approximately five feet from the others and she hits a tree causing a few acorns and a squirrel to fall down onto her.
Lincoln and the others immediately rush to her. "Lynn! Are you okay?" asked Lincoln. "That looked painful" said Lucy. "Reminds me of dodge ball" said Jordan.
Lynn opens her eyes and looks around them. "I'm fine. That was one heck of a hit, though I thought I kicked it to my left side" said Lynn.
As Lynn gets up she suddenly feels an agonizing pain coming from her right leg. "AAAAH!" Lynn buckles back down on her knees. Lincoln and Jordan help her up and she sits on one of the picnic benches.
"I'm fine you guys. Just need to give my leg a little breather" said Lynn as she tries to get back up. But it fails and she feels tremendous pain again.
Lincoln and Jordan notice her right leg. "Lynn. I think your leg is broken" said Lincoln. "It is not!" said Lynn in anger. "Trust us Lynn. We know what a broken leg looks like" said Jordan.
"I'll show you all it's not broken!" said Lynn. She stands back up, but only for a brief two minutes. Then she yells in pain and sits back down holding her right leg.
(Royal Woods Hospital)
"Dang it!" said Lynn as she looks at her casted leg, oh and she's on a wheel chair. "I advise that she doesn't use that leg for three days. Then she can use crutches" said the Doctor.
"Thank you doctor, we'll take her home now" said Rita. The two adults approach their daughter and wheel her out of the room.
"Well LJ, I'm surprised that you didn't see the ball coming" said Lynn Sr.
"I didn't even know it was coming from the other direction!" said Lynn Jr.
"Well. Like the doctor said, you can't use your right leg for three days" said Rita.
"But mom! School's coming up soon and I need to train myself for the next soccer ball game. The next baseball game and the one sport I haven't played. Basketball!" said Lynn Jr.
"Sorry sweetie. But until your leg is healed up. You can't play any of those sports" said Rita.
They arrive at the check-out where they meet up with Lincoln, Lucy and Jordan.
"Well, you look like you've seen better days" said Lucy. "Laugh it up sis" said Lynn Jr. "I wasn't trying to be funny" replied Lucy.
"Sorry about your leg sis" said Lincoln. "It's fine. I guess this one's on me" said Lynn Jr.
(The Loud House)
The family along with Jordan enter the house and are greeted by all of the other daughters with questions on what happened to Lynn.
"What the heck happened to you LJ?" asked Luna. "You literally look like a girl who got hit by a car" said Lori. "I guess you'll be wheeling around the block now. Hahaha! Get it!" said Luan. They all groan at her bad pun.
"Guys, guys. Please, this was an accident made by me. Guess I didn't see the ball coming" said Lynn Jr.
This made them gasp. "You didn't see the ball coming? How?" said Lola with shock.
"I wish I had the answer too. I was too busy telling these three of the amazing stuff we did at the cruise ship" said Lynn Jr. "Well that explains how you didn't see it coming" said Lisa.
Luckily for Lynn. Lincoln contacted the others what happened on their way to the hospital earlier. So Lisa already built a chair that could help Lynn get up the stairs and to her room. Along with her wheel chair.
"Great! Now I'm gonna be like an old person" said Lynn annoyingly. "Pishaw! This marvel of mechanical ingenuity is not just built for the elderly. But it is also made for those who are either born disabled or have their limbs missing" said Lisa. "Wicked" said Lucy.
Later that evening. Jordan went home on her bike and told the others of what happened to Lincoln's sister. Lynn had to call her friends Margo and Polly of what happened to her. But Lincoln had another idea.
Lincoln got off of bed and went to Lily and Lisa's room. "Hey Lis, you got a moment?" asked Lincoln.
Lisa gets off of her chair and closes her book. "What may I be of assistance to you male sibling?" asked Lisa.
"Well, I was thinking. Could you hack into the Park's surveillance cameras?" asked Lincoln nervously. Lisa wasn't an idiot. She knew what he was implying.
"I assume this is to help find out what was the cause of Lynn's injury and to why she did not predict the exact moment of her near impact to her soccer ball" said Lisa.
Lincoln was kinda confused with her smart talk. "Uhh. Yeah pretty much. I think" said Lincoln.
"Come with me Lincoln" said Lisa. The two of them approach her surveillance monitors and she starts typing. "We only have thirty minutes before Lily will be sent here so she may enter stasis" said Lily.
"What?" asked Lincoln. "We have only thirty minutes before mom let's Lily sleep. If she finds out what we're doing. Then we're both in trouble" said Lisa.
"Oh right. Carry on and please be quick" said Lincoln with some worry. "Fear not male sibling. The security codes of the City's surveillance camera system are nothing more than just simple math to me" said Lisa. "And done!" she says as she hits enter.
The multiple screens show different things that have happened at the park in different angles.
They spot Lincoln and Jordan chatting under a tree. "I remember that one" said Lincoln.
Flip taking a used Flippie cup out of the trash can and cleaning it to reuse. "That is just disturbing" said Lisa.
Lincoln and Jordan having a picnic. "Good memories" said Lincoln.
Lucy and Haiku. And the entire Morticians club hanging upside down. "I really question that" said Lisa. But something caught Lincoln's eye on that scene.
"Wait a minute! I know that girl!" said Lincoln. He then points out to a very depressed looking teenager who was hanging upside down with them. "She was at the birthday party me and Luan did together as mimes" said Lincoln.
They see footage of Lincoln and Jordan laying on the ground watching clouds. "There's another good memory" said Lincoln.
Lincoln and Jordan playing with Lily. "I love that one" said Lincoln.
Liam playing the banjo and singing while Tabby listens to his melody. "This is almost like you and Jordan" said Lisa.
Lincoln and Jordan making flower crowns. Lincoln just looks at the screen dreamily.
Rusty Spokes and Polly Pain roller skating. Though he was getting tossed and knocked over every time he catches up. "I'm surprised he can take all of those hits" said Lisa. "Well, that's Rusty for ya. He loves a girl who's tough on him" said Lincoln.
Lincoln and Jordan tossing a Frisbee with Lana. "Good bonding times" said Lincoln.
Mr. Grouse scolding a statue (he thinks it's one of those people pretending). "That seems typical" said Lisa.
Lincoln and Jordan making out under a tree. Lisa looks at Lincoln with a confused and yet amused look.
"What?" said Lincoln. "You two really are that smitten to one another" said Lisa with a grin.
"Oh shut up Lisa" said Lincoln teasingly. Then they found the footage they were looking for. "This is the one!" said Lincoln.
The footage showed Lincoln, Lucy and Jordan listening to Lynn's tale as she kicks her soccer ball. "Let's keep track of the outcome. Or I could just record this one" said Lisa.
Minutes later. The two of them just stared in shock at how it all happened. "We should probably show this to Lynn" said Lincoln.
"Perhaps tomorrow would be good. We wouldn't want Lynn to yell in the middle of the night because of this" said Lisa. "Yeah, you're right" said Lincoln.
The two of them retreat to sleep for the night.
(The next day)
Lynn is now in the living room watching a soccer game rerun on TV. Until Lincoln and Lisa get in front of the screen. "Umm. Do you two mind?" said Lynn in annoyance.
But then she's joined by the other louds on the couch, even though Lana is grounded, they wanted her to come sa well. "What's going on?" asked Lynn Jr. "That's what we wanna know too" said Lori.
They all then turn to Lisa and Lincoln. "Okay. So as to yesterday, we did not know how Lynn didn't see the ball coming" said Lincoln. They all nodded, though Lynn was a little upset at what happened.
"So. Lincoln asked me to track down surveillance footage of what happened and we have the results" said Lisa. Lincoln then places the CD into the video player and they all witness the unfortunate events of a single soccer ball in the park. Even the parents winced at seeing their daughter get hit and smack onto the tree.
As the video ends some of them start talking. "That was unexpected dudes" said Luna. "Did you guys see how fast it went?" said Lana. "I'm just greatful it stopped that mean criminal" said Leni. "It flew right over us" said Lucy. "Well that was one heck of a rebound! Hahaha! Get it!" said Luan. They all groaned at her bad pun.
They all turned to look at Lynn Jr. who just remained looking at the blank screen. "You okay there sis?" asked Lori.
Lynn blinked twice and then looked at everyone else. "Huh. Usually I would get upset seeing this. But I'm not" said Lynn. "In fact. I'm actually impressed at how many times I hit the ball on different things!"
"So. You're not mad or upset? Or anything?" asked Lola. Lynn just shook her head.
Then she looks at Lincoln and Lisa. "Thanks for showing me this. Now I'll remember not to get too distracted the next time I play ball" said Lynn. "And I don't feel bad about not being able to do sports until my leg is healed up."
"You're welcome Lynn. But all credit belongs to Lincoln. He was the one who asked me" said Lisa.
"Well, I didn't wanna see you all upset for not being able to play. So I thought this would give you closure" said Lincoln sheepishly.
Lynn wheeled herself towards Lincoln and hugged him. "Thanks bro" said Lynn. Lincoln returns the hug. "You're welcome" said Lincoln.
Lincoln then hears the doorbell. "That must be Jordan, Liam, Tabby and Stella. I'm gonna be at the Tree House. You okay being here Lynn?" said Lincoln.
"Go hang out with your pal's bro" said Lynn. Lincoln smiles and heads outside.
"That was really nice of your brother to do that for you" said Rita. "Yeah. it is" said Lynn Jr.
Then Lisa pulls out another CD. "Who wants to watch all of the moments Lincoln had with Jordan in the park?" asked Lisa.
"WE DO!" they all replied.
Once again. This idea came to me in my sleep. My dreams are both odd and fascinating, hope you guys like this chapter. Review and tell me what you think.
