In the evening, Lincoln was still keeping himself warm and the snowfall was still coming from the clouded sky, and the weather news even said that; most of Royal Woods would be snowed in from this blizzard. For Luna, it wouldn't be a very big problem, thanks to her new powers, but for the rest of the family: They might suffer a little from the cold and the decreasing temperatures, and Lisa even thought there might be a new ice age that will plague the earth.
probably very unlikely that would happen, but, Lisa was eager because of her love of science, except, that she was grounded for accidentally freezing Luna and couldn't do her experiments again for a while.
Meanwhile, Luna herself was practicing on her guitar once more, and she was totally enjoying the new sound of it now that it transformed under her powers. While shredding, she got a call on the phone, and she recognized the name of it. Smiling, the rocker girl promptly answered it, and she addreased: "Hey Sam, what's happenin'?"
"Hi Luna." Sam said on the other line. "Just surviving the cold weather in my house. Probavot the coldest winter here since years ago. My flat-coated retriever, Hendrix, is doing okay, I gave him an extra blanket just in case he gets too cold."
"Good on ya. Hendrix is a good boy."
"I just love that dog, Luna."
"What about your Pomeranian, uh... Danzig?"
"Yeah, he's doing just fine, thanks to his coat of fur. Still, he taps whenever visitors come or mom and dad come home."
Deep down, Luna wanted to tell her about what just happened, or maybe Sam might have heard the news or seen the videos about Luna fighting crime. "Sam, I wanna tell ya something. I... I have- superpowers now."
She waited for a reply, but there was no answer after that. "What's that?" Sam asked. "You're breaking up."
"Ah, must be this blizzard." Luna realized. She walked around the house to get a better signal to talk to her close friend. She went up to the attic to see if that would help her out with a better signal, and it worked, then Luna asked: "can ya hear me now?"
"Yep. Now I can hear you." Sam replied. "So what were you going to say?"
"Well, I was going to ask... how you were doing and if you are doing okay in this stone cold blizzard." Luna replied. Turns out, she was a little unsure of revealing her powers to her. Could he trust her to keep it a secret from everyone else? Could she trust her own close friend to not blab away to strangers that she meets?
"Oh. Just keeping warm with my doggies and my parents, and my little brother."
"How is Tommy?"
"He's asleep. Tommy can be normally a hyper kid, but now he's completely worn out."
"Cool. Listen Sam, I gotta tell you something,"
"Sure, What's that?"
Clearing her throat, and thinking of the best way to explain this to her own friend. At last, Luna said to her: "Sam... I got superpowers now. Ice powers if you haven't seen the news about me." Sje hoped that on the other line.
"Oh wow. I've heard about that on the news and I think I saw the video taking out those three burglars." Sam remembered. "I... wasn't so sure at first."
"Nah, it's cool. I hope that I get to battle a villain with super powers."
"I think you would have to make a lot of enemies for that to happen."
Both she and Luna had a laugh about that comment. "Yeah, so true." Luna agreed. "When the time is right, I know I will fight a bad guy with superpowers. It would be so cool"
"No argument, Luns." Said Sam.
"Well, I'll talk to you soon, olay? I gotta see if my whole fam is okay in the blizzard. Talk to ya soon, Sam."
"Gotcha. Bye Luna!" Then they hung up together and she went back downstairs from the attic to take a look at how her whole family is pulling through. Every one of her siblings had blankets around them, and so did the parents and pets.
Of course, there was not a member of this household that didn't have hot chocolate with them for good measure. The only exception was Lily, who was fast asleep in her crib and with extra blankets.
The only downside for this was; the family was on a little bit of a tight budget right now, and they couldn't always use the heating machine within the whole house.
Lori and Leni were keeping themselves warm by sitting together on Lori's bed for support. "Leni, can you literally try and not sneeze on me?" Asked Lori
"Sure. Besides, I can't help it when I sneeze." Leni admitted. "At least we got our hot chocolate here." She accidentally took one big sip of it, and her mouth was slowly burning. Poor Leni spat in Lori's face in a state of panic.
The eldest sister just sighed with her eyes narrowed in irritation. "Oh Leni." She muttered. "Now, I gotta take a shower before I go to bed." Luna made a small chuckle and thought of how kind of funny that little stunt was.
"Hey bro, what are you up to?" She noticed Lincoln sitting on the couch while watching some TV on his favorite channel.
"Just a little tired and..." he let out a yawn before he continued. "Just keeping warm and watching a little TV." He took a small sip of his beverage.
"Haven't burnt your tongue again, have ya?" Luna asked with a smirk.
"Nope. I'm being way more careful than before."
"Cool, and are you sure you'll be warm enough tonight?"
"I'm positive. Besides, there is more hot chocolate than we bargained for in this cold weather." Shd he emitted a sneeze on the opposite side from where Luna was. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He repeated himself.
"Okay, but like I said, you can come sleep with me tonight if you want."
"Alright." The boy smiled gratefully at his older sister. "And, I'm sorry you can't fight crime right now."
"Nah, it's cool. And, I doubt there is anyone outside right now. That storm looks like it would make them completely snow blind." She had a small realization. "Literally, heh heh."
"True. Who would want to go out in a bad storm like this?"
"Yeah, well, besides me, I don't think anyone would go out there in that blizzard any time soon. We'ed be like polar bears."
"Or penguins, except no tuxedos!" Lincoln joked. They both had a laugh and sat next to one another, joking about the blizzard and how this will pass eventually through the coming days over the course of the weekend.
"Ya know, Lisa said there might be a new ice age comin' to the planet to freeze everything like the earth was turning into a freezer."
"Nah. I'm sure if that would happen again, it would take... thousands of years, or millions of years." Lincoln speculated. "The times of the dinosaurs lasted for millions of years and look at what happened now."
"Totally. Those days were long before we came to be walkin' on the earth."
"But, I'm sure you would be fine." Said Lincoln. "You can withstand cold temperatures and never have to worry about getting frostbite or hypothermia. But, what about me?"
"Don't worry, dude. It's like you said: that time won't be around for a long time. And hey, check out the riffs I've been playing on my guitar." She ran upstairs and brought her ax with her as she came back downstairs. Luna was playing some more sweet riffs and solos on her guitar and she played for about two and a half minutes.
Young Lincoln was impressed by what Luna was playing, and to his ears, the guitar sounded a little better than how it would normally sound before it magically transformed. He applauded his big sister for playing so awesomely and profoundly on her ax, and Luna was touched to hear that, even though he has heard her play guitar millions if times before now.
"Whoo! That was so awesome Luna." Lincoln cheered on.
"Cheers, mate!" Luna replied with her devil horn gesture with her two hands. "Glad you loved it, little bro."
"You kidding? I always love it when you play guitar."
"Aw, come here, you." She put her guitar down and hugged him to show some more appreciation. Even though she had ice powers bow, and that she can survive in deathly cold temperatures now, her body still felt very warm, like Lincoln's own personal blanket if he wants her to be.
A warm, fuzzy feeling was erupting inside of Lincoln, and he liked the feeling so much. Sure, he blankets, but, Luna was someone special to him, along with the rest of his sisters in the family. He felt her let go if him, and he flustered
"So, when this blizzard passes, you ready to help more people and take out more bad guys?"
"Totally! But, you guys need me here, and I'm always here to support my own fam." Luna remarked. "Do ya need some more cocoa?"
"Nah. I'm good."
"Cool."
"It's a shame that mom and dad can't use the heating bill all the time." And he sneezed.
"You're not getting sick as a dog, are ya?"
"No, no. Of course not. You know how cold places are making you sneeze and all."
"You might wanna drink some more cocoa, dude."
"Of course." Lincoln did just that and took yet another sip of his drink, and ate about six little marshmallows in the process. He was thinking things over while sipping some more hot cocoa, and he thought that; maybe he should sleep with Luna tonight to keep him extra warm through the cold, dark, winter's night.
Still, he was a little... unsure about that. Of course it's nothing romantic, but he was still thinking about it in his head. Besides, it was only around seven in the evening, and it wasn't exactly lights out just yet. He watched a little TV, and Luna was getting a little bored, so she decided to watch a little TV with him since she was down here with him.
The time was going by a little fast, especially since the two were having a little bit of a blast together. "So, do you still plan on making that comic about me, Linc?" Luna Frost asked curiously.
"I plan to, Luna. You'll see, but... I'm a little too... cold to go further into the story."
"It's okay." his big sister gently ruffed his hair. "Books take time, I know Mick Swagger's first auto took five years to be made public to the press." she crossed her arms behind her head in relaxation and crossed her right leg over her left one. "I'll wait as long as it takes for it, and you can take your time on it. Besides, I'm living a new dream with these powers."
Lincoln smiled in gratitude. "Thanks.
Lori and Leni came down the stairs with a bundle of blue clothes in their arms, Immediately, the white-haired boy, and the rocker girl recognized what this meant. "Hey Luna, we made you some new suits for you. They're the same as the one you're wearing right now, but... they are different."
"Ooh, so they're like how I wear the same polo shirts every day." Lincoln speculated before taking another sip of his cocoa
"Yeah, exactly." Lori pointed. "Still, wouldn't kill ya to literally try on new shirts on you."
"Don't start with me, Lori. I can't wear the same shirts every day, but it's okay for you guys?"
"Toussh!" Leni said in agreement
"It's 'touche' dude." Luna pointed.
"Right."
"Point well-made, Lincoln." Lori agreed. "Anyway, Luna, here you go."
"Thanks, sis." Luna replied with gratitude. she felt her arms holding the clothes, and Leni gave her the second stack. "And you too, Leni."
Little did Lincoln know that he wasn't paying attention and he felt some slight stinging pain hit his crotch. His eyes widened and yelled in agony while covering his crotch. "Hot! Hot! Hot!" he shouted while doing the butternut trot (the dance where it looks like someone had to go the bathroom.)
gasping, Luna said: "Bro, what's wrong?"
"Ah! Just spilled some hot coffee on me in... the most uncomfortable part of me." was what Lincoln replied. He was grunting at how painful it was to have a small bit of hot chocolate spilled in between his legs, and he crouched on the floor, on his knees. Luna, Lori, and Leni came to his aid and looked at his pajama pants. The stain wasn't so big, but they could tell that; it hurt Lincoln so bad.
"Poor Lincoln." said Leni.
Luna suddenly had an idea in her head. she gently placed her left hand on Lincoln's thigh and absorbed the heat of the liquid. Immediately, Lincoln felt the pain slowly go away, but the liquid was still present. "Better?" she asked
"Yeah, but... I think I need a shower to help out. Like at my pants."
"You sure you're okay?" asked Lori
"Yeah. Not the worst pain I ever suffered, Lori." Then Lincoln went upstairs to take the shower to clean himself off. While bathing, he heard the door knocking. "Yeah?" he called
"Honey, are you Ok?" asked Rita on the other side. "I heard you yell."
"Yeah mom, just accidentally burnt myself with hot chocolate."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, well, it's almost lights out in the house and be quick on there."
"Don't worry mom. I will."
The warm to hot water was very soothing against his skin and especially where he was burnt, but as soon as he was done ten minutes later, he was shaking and feeling like a Popsicle because of the water dripping from his body. Shaking and cold, Lincoln got himself a towel to cover himself up and he went to his room to get himself some new pair of pajamas from his little hanger, and he still felt colt.
"Whoa, Lincoln, you look freezing." said Lynn.
"Here's a blanket to keep you warm," said Luan, passing him a yellow blanket.
"Thanks."
At last, it was bedtime and everyone was tucking themselves in bed, and while the lights went out, Lincoln still felt a little cold and ultimately, he took Luna's suggestion from earlier, and he quietly went upstairs to see Luna in bed, not having any covers over her body, probably because she didn't need any covers through the night.
He gently tapped her foot, and she awoken from her slumber. Looking at him with her eyes half-asleep, she smiled at recognizing her little brother. "Hey, Linc." she whispered. "Decided to take my offer?"
"Yep. You don't mind, do you?"
"Nah. Not at all. I love it. Now come on, buddy." She patted her right arm and Lincoln slowly came up to the top bunk bed with her. He felt her arms gently entwine him like he was her own teddy bear. "Comfy?"
"Yeah. Goodnight, Luna."
"G'night, little bro."
"Not long after, they both fell asleep, and sure, they were under the covers together (Luna did it to help him keep warm through this blizzard,) but deep down, Luna was the main factor in keeping him warm through this cold night that will pass. Morning will certainly appear faster now that these two were together (Not as a romance couple, but like brother and sister)
Luna was definitely feeling great about herself keeping her one and only brother warm with her arms and her warm body, and they were sleeping so soundly, and not even the sound of a breaking power line would wake them up
