Lincoln is your typical 12 year old boy. Loves Comics and video games, has 10 sisters, and a love of Christmas. Okay he's not that typical, but if you put him in a line up with other boys, there's almost no way you could tell anything was different. It was Christmas time in Royal woods, and no one was more excited than Lincoln Loud. He hadn't been a perfect angel the whole year but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who would say he was out right naughty.
He loved Christmas so much, he loved getting presents, but coming from such a big family some Financial instability was to be expected. Still he tried to do his best at getting everyone something nice. He was thinking back to the year he and his family pulled money together to get their grumpy neighbor a ticket to see his family that year. That put a smile on his face, seeing 's face light up with joy.
He had his family's gifts all bought and it wasn't easy but he thought he bought his sisters the perfect gifts. Which he was already in the middle of wrapping, until there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Lincoln called. "Lincoln sweetie, Clyde is on the phone for you." Lincoln's mother called out from the other side of the door.
Lincoln climbed out of his bed and headed downstairs to see what Clyde wanted. He left his room but forgot to close the door. This didn't go unnoticed by a certain little girl in a princess dress. Lola knew it was a bad idea to peek at the present Lincoln got her but she thought if she was quick and quiet no one would mind. She crept into Lincoln's room and saw all the unopened presents.
Lola looked shocked and then got really angry. She heard someone coming up the stairs and ran back into her room. Lincoln grabbed his coat and ran back downstairs. "Mom, Dad, I'm going to the mall with Clyde to help him get some presents for his dads." Lincoln called out as he ran out the door. "Alright son, just be back before dinner." Lynn Sr. called back. Lola knew this was the time. She ran into Lori and Leni's room.
"What do you want Lola? I'm about to call BooBoo Bear and wish him an early Merry Christmas." Lori said annoyed that one of her siblings, yet again, barged into her room. "We need to have a sister meeting right now." Lola said in a demanding tone. Lori rolled her eyes and got the girls for a sister meeting.
Luan looked around and noticed that Lincoln wasn't anywhere. "Hey Where's Lincoln?" She asked, confused about them meeting up without him. "I heard him say he was gonna help Clyde get presents for his dads." Lynn said wiping the sweat off as she had recently come back from a run around the neighborhood. "Alright Lola, why are we calling this meeting?" Lori asked ticked that her time was being wasted. "Okay, I know what I did was wrong but just hear me out before you all jump on me. I saw Lincoln's room was open and I got curious, so I went in to see what he got me for Christmas." Before she could continue all the girls started telling her off for doing something like that.
"WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!" Lola screamed, annoyed that nobody was letting her finish. "Look, I know it was wrong but I just couldn't help it. When I saw what he got us through, I got really mad. You guys should look for yourselves." Lola said, trying to get them on her side. "'Not cool Bra, you don't go and look at gifts before Christmas, that's like, the number one rule." Luna said, shaking her head in disappointment. "Yeah Lols, even if you don't like the present Lincoln got you that doesn't mean we won't like the presents he got us." Lana said, rolling her eyes at Lola's entitlement. "You know what, fine but don't cry to me when you all open your gifts and see how bad he messed up."
Lola slammed the door and went back to her room. "And a Ba-humbug to you too Lola." Luan said as she left. The girls all started laughing at Luan's comeback. "Okay, well now that that's over. Anyone else have any talking points?" Lori asked before she was going to call the meeting over, Lynn raised her hand. "Did mom and dad say what we were having for dinner on Christmas? He usually tells us beforehand but I haven't heard anything about it." "Dad said he got a good deal on a prime rib for us, he said it should be here by Christmas eve." Lori said as she hit her shoe on the desk calling the meeting over.
Some time had passed after the meeting and Lisa was in her room working on a Santa tracker when her thoughts raced to what Lola said about the present Lincoln bought for them. "Oh Einstein, forgive me for doing this but I need to know just what my brother got me." Lisa made her way to Lincoln's room to see what she got from him. She saw the gift that said "To Lisa, From Lincoln" she ripped open the wrapping paper and what she saw made her mad. He got her a jr scientists kit. This seemed like an insult to Lisa as these were nothing more than cheap toys for people to make believe they were scientists.
And like that all the dominos began to fall. The girls all let their curiosity get the best of them. Some girls were disappointed with what Lincoln got them, like Leni, who Lincoln got what looked to be a dollar store sewing kit and Luna who got a guitar that she already had. While some were pissed, like Lori who got a phone case and that's it, and Lynn who, like Luna, got something from him she already had, MMA gloves.
Hours passed by and Lincoln finally returned home. "I'm home, Sorry for being out past sundown, Clyde had a really hard time picking out stuff." Lincoln saw all the girls watching Love Boat on the TV. "Oh cool Love Boat Just started, let me go put my coat away and I'll join you guys." The girls said nothing as he went up to his room. He opened the door and saw all the presents he had wrapped had been torn open. Lincoln let out a scream and ran down stairs. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?!" He shouted at all his sisters. "OH PLEASE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH US? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" Lola shouted back.
Before anything could go further Rita and Lynn Sr. entered the room. "Kids, kids, what is going on here?" Lynn Sr asked. "Why are you shouting when you're right next to each other?" Rita asked. "Mom, Dad, you aren't gonna believe this, the girls opened up all the presents I got them. My room is full of ripped up wrapping paper." Lincoln said. Some of the girls retaliated. "So what? You were the one who got us stupid presents anyway." Lola said. "You literally made this the worst Christmas ever twerp." Lori added. "Alright enough, Rita can you take Lincoln out to have him cool off." Lynn sr said. Rita nodded her head and grabbed hers and Lincoln's coat. The door closed as Lynn sr looked at his girls with disappointment on his face.
"Dad listen-" Lynn began before being interrupted by her father. "I don't wanna hear it young lady. What you girls did was completely disrespectful to your brother. You all know how hard this year has been for all of us. We told you girls time and time again, it isn't about how expensive a present is, but how much thought was put into it. You're all grounded until New Years, and you can forget getting any of the presents from me and your mother this year. I'm very Disappointed in all of you, now go upstairs, I'll call you down when dinner is ready." Lynn sr said in a stern tone as he pointed up the stairs.
At the same time Rita and Lincoln were at Burpin Burger with milkshakes. Lincoln was tearing up, he spent a good amount of time wrapping all those presents and to see them opened up. "I'm sorry Lincoln, what the girls did was inexcusable. And you can be sure me and your father are gonna lay down the hammer when we get back." Rita said, trying to comfort her son. "Why? I just, I can't believe," Lincoln was choking up, not at the fact that the girls opened their presents but the fact that they told him he ruined Christmas. "Sweetie, I don't know what came over your sister's. But you have nothing to be sad about."
After some time at Burpin Burger Lincoln and Rita returned home for dinner. The atmosphere was so tense you could hear a pin drop from the silence. Some of the girls still looked mad at Lincoln, but others couldn't face him because of the guilt that had built up in their stomachs. "I'm sorry dad, but I'm not really feeling well. Can I go back to my room?" Luna asked. Her dad looked at her with a neutral face. "Alright Luna, but no music Luna, understand? You're still grounded after all." Lynn Sr. said. Luna nodded and solemnly walked up to her room, followed soon by Luan, Lana, and Lucy. Lincoln soon got up from the table and headed to his room. Bedtime fell on the Loud House, Lincoln thinking about his gifts and seeing if they were actually good enough. Soon a glow covered Lincoln's room. He sat up and looked at his computer, seeing that it was on. "Did, did I forget to turn it off?" Lincoln got up to turn the computer off and soon found himself in a swirling vortex. Lincoln soon found himself on the floor. "Is he okay?" A raspy female voice said. "That looked like a pretty bad fall." A young man said. "Hey, give the kid some room alright." a gruff older man said. Lincoln soon came too and looked up. He saw 3 people he recognized. Chie from persona 4, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, and Chuck Greene from DeadRising 2.
