Heheheheh~

I bet a lot of you were expecting Loud Action~

But nope~!

I don't think anyone could have seen this coming!

Glitch Techs...if you have Netflix and you haven't seen it, go see it right now! It is hands down one of Nicks best shows in years and possibly one of their best shows overall. I instantly fell in love with it and it's the show that got me out of my funk after my sister was hit by that car. There is so much to love about it and right now its fate is up in the air right now so by watching it your helping out its future. It has 2 seasons with 10 episodes each so it won't take long to binge I guarantee you won't regret it.

As for this, the idea came into my head, I started talking about it with my friends, and now here we are. I'm also doing something with it I've never done before that I'm quite proud of.

So without further ado, I hope you enjoy the premier of Loud Techs!

Also make sure you read the A/N at the end.

The sounds of kids laughing, and screaming were widespread across the large arcade. Kids were running around playing every game they could, the sounds of game over screens, 8-bit music, and even a few high score fanfares could be heard along with the smell of pizza being all over. Pretty typical for an arcade along with the kids in said arcade…except for one. "…Stupid bear…stupid pity invite…" Currently hiding in between two arcade machines that no one was playing was a little 6-year-old girl. She looked to be a Japanese American with bluish-violent hair with a magenta sheen that went down to her shoulders. She wore a yellow long-sleeved shirt with a dark pink jacket as well as purple pants and pink and white shoes.

The girl was currently curled up into a ball as right now she just wanted to disappear from the world. Today was easily the worst day of her life as she had just destroyed the main attraction of Joystick Jr's, the arcade she was at. Ralphie Bear. The girl had only moved to Royal Woods a month ago and she was really struggling to make friends and she had just gotten a pity invite for a birthday party here. She was even invited to go on stage to witness the animatronic show this arcade was known for.

But when she saw the main star of the show Ralphie Bear for herself, the girl freaked out. The bear was just so incredibly terrifying and the way it looked at her with its cold dead eyes caused the girl's fight for flight reflexes to kick in. So with a leap and a kick…she knocked Ralphie's head right off of his body. It caused quite the scene that caused all of the kids to start crying as the girl quickly ran away from the party, crying herself. Now there was no way she was gonna make any friends, all she would be known as is the girl who killed Ralphie Bear. "I wanna go home….." The girl lightly cried into her legs.

"Hey, are you ok?"

The girl squeaked a bit in surprise as she quickly wiped away her tears before anyone could see her like this. Looking to the source of the voice, the girl saw a boy about her age looking at her with concern. He had snow-white hair and wore a simple orange shirt, blue pants, and black and white shoes. The girl looked over him for a moment before burying her head between her legs. "Leave me alone…" She muttered quietly.

"Why are you here by yourself?" He asked as he sat down next to her between the arcade machines, refusing to leave this girl crying all by herself.

"You didn't see it?" Miko asked as she was fully expecting this kid to hate her too for what she did. Granted she didn't see him at the birthday party, but she figured pretty much every kid in the arcade knew at this point. "I'm only the girl who knocked Ralphie Bear's head off….."

"Wait? That was you?" The boy asked with slightly widened eyes. The girl sighed sadly a little bit and was expecting him to yell at her for killing his childhood icon or something like that. At least then he would probably just leave her alone after that and just spend the rest of her time hiding here until her parents came to get her. Maybe they could let her be homeschooled or something so she wouldn't have to face the repercussions of this at school or something. "That's awesome!"

…Ok she wasn't expecting that.

"H-Huh?" The girl must have been hearing things. She just admitted to killing Ralphie Bear and this boy just admitted that it was awesome? That had to be a mistake. "W-What did you just say?"

"I said that's really cool!" Looking at his face, the girl saw his smile and eyes were genuine. Not only was this boy not mad at her for what she did to Ralphie, but he also seemed to be both happy and impressed by it. "My sisters really like Ralphie but I always found him really creepy. It's like he's always watching me…"

"Yeah…kinda felt that way for me too," The girl and boy couldn't help but chuckle together as she said that. After sharing a laugh, the girl circles her finger around the ground for a moment before shyly asking. "So…what's your name?"

"I'm Lincoln, Lincoln Loud." The boy properly introduced himself as Lincoln. "What about you?"

"I'm Miko, Miko Kubota." The girl introduced herself to Lincoln as Miko. "So you really don't hate me for what I did?"

"Not at all!" Lincoln reassured her with the shake of his head, making a small smile come to Miko's face. "Hey, do you wanna play some games together? I saved up a bunch of quarters for today!" Lincoln reached into his pocket and pulled out a rather large bag of quarters that causes sparkles to appear in Lincoln's eyes.

"Wooooooah…so many Washingtons…" Miko let out in fascination as Lincoln giggled a bit. Miko then looked at the ground and was still unsure a little bit…but the offer to spend the day playing arcade games with someone was too good to pass up. "Are you sure it's ok to share with me?"

"Totally! Come on!" Lincoln excitedly took Miko's hand and dragged her out of the space between the arcade machines. Miko couldn't help but giggle as Lincoln dragged her away to go play games together.

But before they could go to one of the machines and start playing, there was someone that called out to Lincoln. "There ya are kiddo! Thought I lost ya!" Causing Lincoln, as well as Miko, to stop was a friendly-looking elderly man that had white hair almost exactly like Lincolns. He was a rather burly man with a gray mustache and thick gray eyebrows along with a tattoo of an anchor on his right forearm. He wore a white button-up shirt, blue jeans with a black belt, and orange suspenders. The man smiled down at Lincoln before looking to Miko and asking. "Hey who might you be?"

"Hi Pop-Pop!" Lincoln told the old man with a smile, revealing him to be his grandfather or Pop-Pop as Lincoln called him. "This is Miko, I just met her and we were gonna go play games together! That's ok right?"

Albert simply smiled as he patted Miko's head and lightly ruffled her hair, making the young girl giggle. "Well of course it's ok!" Albert told his grandson as he was glad to see that Lincoln made himself a new friend. "It's nice to meet ya Miko!" Albert then smirked a bit as he put a hand on Lincoln's shoulder and decided to mess with him a bit. "Already wanting to hang out with girls huh? You sly dog~"

"Pop-Pop gross!" Lincoln yelled as Miko giggled widely and Albert let out a hearty laugh. Lincoln just met Miko, he wasn't interested in her like that at all! He just saw a girl that needed someone to talk to and thought she might be fun to hang out with. "We're just gonna play video games together!"

"Hehehe, well that's fine by me kiddo," Albert reassured his grandson as he pointed his thumb towards an area where a few tables were set up. "You two go have fun together, I'll be over there if you two need me."

"Ok!" The two kids said as they quickly ran off to go play as many games as they could, Albert simply chuckling as he watched the two ran off.

THREE HOURS LATER

And so the new duo and Lincoln and Miko went around the arcade playing every single game they could with Lincoln's massive bag of the quarters. The two showed each other what good gaming skills the other had as they both racked up big points and scores in whatever game they played. When it came to facing each other, Miko utterly wiped the floor with Lincoln in fighting games like Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom as well as a game that Miko quickly came to love called Sock em Rockers. But then Lincoln was able to beat Miko when it came to racing games as well as strategy games, plus Lincoln showed how much of a master he was at the Ace Savvy beat em up game.

All the while Lincoln and Miko got to learn more about each other as they played and talked. Lincoln learned that Miko has just moved to Royal Woods a month ago and it turns out they go to the same school, they just never noticed each other before. Both have a passion for gaming with Lincoln also being into comics and Miko being a manga and anime fan. The two just seemed to instantly click together and had so much to talk about.

Lincoln also mentioned to Miko about the rather large amount of sisters he had. Lincoln had five older sisters in Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, and Lynn as well as three younger sisters in Lucy and a pair of twins named Lana and Lola. Miko was quite surprised by this but also revealed she had a few siblings herself. An older sister named Nica, a younger brother named Geoffrey, and a baby sister named Lexi who had just recently turned a year old.

But eventually, the two ran out of quarters and it was time for them to leave. But before Lincoln and Albert left, they decided to wait until Miko's parents came to pick her up. "Wow, you really kicked that bear's head off?" Albert asked with a long whistle with Miko nodding in conformation. "Well good on you kiddo! You ask me that bear always gave me the heebie-jeebies, and I was in the army!"

As the three shared a laugh, Miko noticed a familiar white van pull up in front of the arcade. "Oh, they're here." Miko pointed out to the two whiteheads as she pointed at the car that had her parents in it. While she was glad to see her parents…she didn't want this to end. Hours ago she couldn't wait for her parents to show up so that way she couldn't get this day over with. But after meeting, playing, and getting to know Lincoln she didn't want the party to stop.

The three stood up as Miko's parents came out of the card. Miko's mom was a Japanese woman with short, black, straight hair that was parted on one side. She wore white, high-waisted pants that ended beneath her knees and a pink short-sleeved sweater. Meanwhile, Miko's dad was American and was a bit on the taller side with fair skin and a big nose. We wore a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up underneath a green sweater, tucked into his brown pants.

The two smiled as they saw their daughter waiting for them outside but rose their brows at the two unfamiliar faces. "Mommy! Daddy!" Miko yelled as she ran towards her parents and jumped onto her mom for a hug with the Japanese woman happily doing so with her dad patted her head.

"Hi sweetie," Miko's mother told her daughter kindly before looking at Lincoln and Albert. "Who are these two? Did you make some friends at the party?"

"Not…exactly…" Miko nervously stated, making her parents tilt their heads at her. She had a feeling her parents wouldn't be as supportive of her kicking Ralphie's head off as Lincoln and Albert but that would be a hurdle to jump when she got there. "But I did make a friend, that's Lincoln and his Pop-Pop Albert."

"Hi Mr and Mrs. Kubota," Lincoln kindly waved to the two parents of Miko.

"It's great to meet ya, names Albert." Albert greeted with a big smile as he walked up to Miko's parents and shook their hands. "Let me tell ya these two had a lot of fun together, used up the whole bag of quarters Lincoln brought."

"Well, it's good to know you had fun," Miko's dad said as he shook Albert's hand, returning the elderly man's smile. "My names Hugh and this is my wife Mayumi,"

"It's great to meet you Lincoln," Mayumi told Lincoln with a warm smile as she knelt down to the Loud boy's level. "I'm glad you and my daughter were able to become friends, but I don't remember seeing you at the party when we dropped Miko off."

"Oh I wasn't at the party," Lincoln answered as he explained why he and Albert were here. "My family are on vacation but I wanted to stay behind and hang out with Pop-Pop since our hang out time had to be cut last month,"

"Hehe, and I couldn't say no to this little champion," Albert stated as he gave Lincoln a light noogie. "We were planning on going to Gus' Games and Grub but there was a gas leak there, so we had to come here to get some arcade time."

"But I'm glad I came!" Lincoln smiled brightly as he looked at Miko. "Otherwise I wouldn't have met Miko!"

Miko couldn't help but blush and smile a little bit. She essentially made Lincoln's time here worth it. Looking down in thought a bit, Miko then turned to her parents and asked something. "Hey mom, dad, could I please go over to Lincoln's house today?" This request surprised everyone there, all except Albert who smiled as he seemed to have expected the request to come from her. "I really had fun hanging out with Lincoln today and I don't want it to end yet. So please…"

Hugh and Mayumi looked at each other in thought but soon smiled as they came to a quick decision. Miko's had so much trouble making friends since they came here, and even back at her old home Miko had some trouble with that as well as many kids found her hyperactive personality hard to handle. So if Miko was able to make this sort of connection with someone after just one day, then who were they to try and keep her from bonding with him more. "Well if it's ok with them it's ok with us," Hugh told his daughter with Mayumi nodding.

Miko gasped happily before looking to Lincoln and Albert with stars in her eyes, hoping they would say yes. Albert put his hand on Lincoln's shoulder and told him, "She's your friend kiddo," Albert told him, silently telling Lincoln he was ok with it. "I'll let you make the call on this."

Lincoln smiled at his Pop-Pop before he walked up to Miko. "I just got Pokemon White," Lincoln revealing making Miko smile widely. "I have both versions now, maybe we can play together?"

"YES!" Miko yelled as she tackled Lincoln into a hug, sending them both onto the ground laughing.

Miko's parents and Albert laughed a bit at the scene as Albert turned to the couple and asked, "When should I have her home? Eight? Nine?"

"Nine should work," Mayumi said as she reached into her purse and pulled out a pen and a sticky note and wrote something down on it before handing it back to Albert. "Here's our address and thank you so much for this. It really is great to see Miko making friends like this,"

"I can tell my grandson's been loving it too, you should have seen them in there. You'd think they've known each other forever," Albert heartedly chuckled as he took the sticky note from Mayumi. "Oh hey! You guys are just a few blocks away from where my daughter's family lives!"

"Oh well that's good to hear." Hugh smiled at the news, if they were that close to Lincoln's house then it meant Lincoln and Miko could probably see each other often. "Maybe we can meet up together sometimes,"

"I'm sure those two would like that," Albert nodded as he looked to Lincoln and Miko and saw the two laughing as they were chasing each other around. "Hey kiddos! Come on! Don't wanna keep the house waiting do we!"

"Come on Miko let's go!" Lincoln said as he ran back to Albert with Miko following him.

Before Albert and the kids could leave, Miko's parent's knelt down to her and smiled. "Alright Miko, you behave yourself and do whatever Albert tells you ok?" Hugh told her daughter before he and his wife hugged Miko. "We'll see you later tonight, we love you."

"Love you too!" Miko hugged them tightly before going back to Lincoln and Albert's side as the three headed over to the elderly man's car to head over to Lincoln's house for some more fun.

SIX MONTHS LATER – HALLOWEEN

After they met at Joystick Jr's that day, Lincoln and Miko only continued to hang out together. The two were often seen together whether they were at each other's houses, at one of the two arcades in town, at school where they had lunch together with Miko even transferring to the class Lincoln was in so the two could be together more. Over time the two got to know each other's family more with the Louds instantly taking a liking to her and not minding her endless amount of energy, all except the oldest Loud sibling Lori who found Miko to be both weird and way too wild. And Lincoln fit in with Miko's family as well with Hugh and Mayumi always enjoying seeing the boy, Nica finding Lincoln fun and pleasant to be around, and Geoffrey was glad to have another boy in the house besides his father. Even baby Lexi always giggles whenever Lincoln was around her.

And the summer just gave the two more time to spend together, especially when it came to going to their favorite activity. Playing video games. The two were almost always playing co-op or vs, either against themselves or other people, and would always push each other's skills to the limit. Lincoln rarely won against Miko when it came to the fighting games but at the same time the number of times Miko has beaten Lincoln in pokemon could be count on one hand.

And now when the two were seven and the spookiest time of the year came by. The two decided to do a themed costume together and it was Lincoln who ultimately decided on what they would wear. Lincoln chose to dress up as his favorite superhero of all time, Ace Savvy complete with a blue cape, red shirt with the Ace Savvy logo on it, black underwear over a pair of red pants, and black boots. Meanwhile, Miko dressed up as the beautiful yes mysterious love interest of Ace Savvy, the Card Dealer. Miko's costume consisted of a dress that was black on one half and red on the other, a necklace with a poker chip on it, and a masquerade mask with half of it being a red heart and the other half being a black diamond.

The two were super excited to collect candy together and Lynn was in charge of taking them around the neighborhood…but Lincoln's athletic older sister was going at a slightly faster pace than the two could keep up with. "Lynn wait up!" Lincoln yelled as Lynn ran ahead of them as fast as she could, even jumping over some other kid.

"Come on!" Miko yelled as she ran alongside Lincoln. "Where's a speed shoe when you need it!"

CRASH!

Unfortunately Lincoln wasn't paying the best attention as he ran forward and he ended up crashing right into the kid that Lynn jumped over. "Ooooooo!" Miko winced as both Lincoln and the kid fell to the ground. That wincing soon turned to a face of disgust as the kid's nose started bleeding when he sat up. "Eeeeeewww…"

The kid with a bleeding nose had dark skin and a black afro of hair, and coincidentally he was also dressed as an Ace Savvy character. Wearing an eye patch over a pair of glasses, a fake thin curly mustache, a white shirt that had all the card symbols in red on it with blue sleeves and red gloves as well as black pants and shoes, this kid was dressed as Ace's loyal sidekick One-Eyed Jack. "Oh geez I'm sorry," Lincoln apologized as he helped the kid up. Noticing his bloody nose, Lincoln happily offered his cape to the kid. "Here, use my cape. Ace Savvy is always ready to lend a hand."

"Haha!" Miko let out a little chortle. "Card puns."

"Thanks," The kid said gratefully as he plugged up his bloody nose with Lincoln's cape and extended his hand out to the white head. "My names Clyde. What are your names?"

"I'm Lincoln!" Lincoln happily introduced himself.

"And I'm Miko!" Miko yelled out dramatically. "Eater of butterfingers!"

Clyde chuckled a bit before looking at their costumes. "Wow! Cool Ace Savvy and Card Dealer costumes." Clyde complimented, making the two in front of him smile. "It's nice to meet more Ace Savvy fans."

"Thanks! Your One-Eyed Jack Costume is also spot on," Lincoln told Clyde with Miko nodding in agreement, Clyde blushing a bit in response. "Hey, wanna come trick or treating with us?"

"Sure!" Clyde instantly agreed and joined the two in the hunt for candy.

TWO YEARS LATER

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKO!" Lincoln shouted as he presented a gift box to Miko that had red wrapping paper decorated with Mario power-ups over it. Since meeting Clyde that Halloween, both Lincoln and Miko have been spending a lot of time with him as well. While Clyde wasn't as big of a gamer as Lincoln and Miko, they still loved being around the McBride boy.

But Lincoln and Miko still spent a majority of time together, their gaming skills and bond have only gotten stronger as time went on. And right now an eight-year-old Lincoln was presenting a now nine-year-old Miko with a birthday present he knew she would just love.

"Thanks Lincoln!" Miko said as she excitedly tore off the wrapping paper and revealing the box. Opening up the box itself, Miko gasped loudly as she took the present out. It was a plushie that's she's been wanting to get for so long but couldn't find it anywhere. "A Super Silver plush?! How'd you get this!"

"I found someone in the next town over willing to sell it," Lincoln explain to Miko, who was bouncing up and down in excitement as she hugged the plushie tightly. "I had to save up for a while to buy it but I really wanted to get it for you."

"….LINCOLN!" Suddenly Miko found himself being pulled into a bone-crushing hug as Miko clung onto both him and the plushie and refused to let go. "YOU'RE THE BEST!"

"Any…time…" Lincoln let out as his face slowly started to turn blue. Unknown to him, as Miko hugged him her cheeks heated up and turned a light red color, she didn't even notice as her heart started to beat louder and faster.

"As much as I hate to break up this cute moment, it's time for cake!" Much to Lincoln's relief, Miko let go of him as soon as her mother made the announcement for them to finally enjoy the dessert everyone looks forward to at a birthday party. All of Lincoln and Miko's siblings quickly rushed over the table as Miko held her new plushie in one hand and took Lincoln's hand in her other. "Hehe, those two."

"Come on Lincoln! Let's go get some cake!" Miko said excitedly as she skipped over to the table with Lincoln in tow.

"U-U-Uh, y-yeah…" Lincoln stuttered a bit as he found himself holding onto Miko's hand tighter as his own cheeks heated up and his heart started beating harder and faster as well.

Little did these two know that this was the start of something that would change their lives forever…

TWO YEARS LATER

A lot can happen in two years. A now 11-year-old Lincoln, Miko, and Clyde got their friend group to expand and include some more boys, the self-proclaimed ladies man Rusty who once tried to put the moves on Miko…and ended up in the emergency room a few minutes later, the farm boy Liam, and the alien believer and conspiracy theorist Zach.

The five of them all attended Royal Woods elementary together in Mrs. Johnson's class, though Lincoln and Miko still spent the most time together and both only continued to improve their gaming skills. Neither one was slowing down in that field.

However, there was something putting a damper on things lately. Currently, a bully was picking on Lincoln and was being relentless about it. They were tying his shoes together, stuffing sloppy joes down his pants, filling his locker full of garbage, and today they stuck gum in his hair.

"Man I sure hope Lincoln's been doing ok after all that crap she's been putting him through." Miko said to herself as she walked towards Lincoln's house, revealing that whoever was bullying him was a girl. Needless to say, Miko was incredibly furious at this bully and it was only due to Clyde and their other friends holding her back that she hasn't flat out attacked this girl. But Miko swore the first chance she got, this girl was gonna pay. "When I get my hands on her I swear I'm gonna…waaaaait…"

It seemed like Miko would be getting her chance sooner rather than later. Currently leaning against Lincoln's mailbox was someone that Miko recognized and quickly became mad at the sight of. She was a Latino girl her age with black hair done up in a ponytail, she had buck teeth and wore a magenta hoodie and blue jeans. This girl was Ronnie Anne Santiago, the one that has been bullying Lincoln for the last few weeks.

"Her….." Miko growled through her teeth. It looks like Ronnie Anne was gonna try and take her bullying straight to Lincoln's house. Not on her watch! Looking around, Miko made sure there was nothing or no one around to stop her. Once the cost was clear…she charged. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"Huh?" Ronnie Anne looked and couldn't react in time to see Miko charge at her and tackle her to the ground, Miko quickly pinning Ronnie Anne. "H-Hey! What's the big deal?!"

"You are! You ain't landing another finger on my white mage!" Miko yelled as she quickly grabbed Ronnie Anne's arms and pin them behind her back, twisting them and making Ronnie Anne yell in pain. "This is what bully's like you get! You're going down faster than a Hibiki main!"

"What does that even mean?!" Ronnie Anne yelled as she managed to throw Miko off her back and tackled the Japanese-American, pinning her arms to the ground. "Wait I know you. You're the nerd that's always clinging to Lame-O!"

"His name…is Lincoln!" Miko yelled before she brought her head up hard and head-butted Ronnie Anne making her yell out and back away. Before she could recover Miko jumped at her again and landed in the yard of the Loud House. The two wrestled around on the grass for a bit, getting dirt and grass stains on them. Ronnie Anne tried to put Miko in a chokehold but-

CHOMP!

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Ronnie Anne yelled as Miko down on her arm as hard as the second oldest Kubota could. And Miko didn't let go once Ronnie Anne released her from the chokehold to, instead Miko bit down on it more and refused to let go. "GET OFF ME YOU FREAK!"

"Grrrrrrr!" Miko growled in a similar fashion to a dog before spitting out Ronnie Anne's arm. Ronnie Anne winced as she looked at her arm and saw the deep bite marks Miko left on them, one of them lightly drawing blood. "Limit breaker!"

"Wha-OMF!" Ronnie Anne was powerless as Miko tackled her to the ground again, Miko jumping on and sitting on Ronnie Anne's back as she started to slam her fist down on the Latino's head over and over again. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Finish…her!" Miko grunted as she got off Ronnie Anne and picked the bully up, Miko lifting Ronnie Anne above her head. "Power throw!" Miko then chucked Ronnie Anne off of Lincoln's yard and back on the sidewalk, taking some heavy breaths and Ronnie Anne got up while holding her arm as well as sporting a massive headache. "That wasn't even my full power! But you mess with Lincoln again and you'll see it!"

"Grrrrrr…" Ronnie Anne yelled as she walked away, the defeat at the nerds hand hitting her pride hard.

"Hmph, that'll show her." Miko said with a smirk as she put her hands to her hips before she headed to Lincoln's door. Unaware that she just put a damper on something he had planned…and later glad she did put a damper on it.

CHRISTMAS EVE

The holiday season, otherwise known as the most wonderful time of the year.

And it was certainly happy for the Louds neighbor, Mr. Grouse. After a series of events, Lincoln found the reason why Mr. Grouse was usually so grumpy, well grumpier, around the holidays. Because he couldn't afford to see his family. So after gathering up his family, Clyde and his dads, and Miko and her family, they all pitched together to sing a carol to Mr. Grouse written by Luna, buy him a bus ticket to allow him to see his family, and throw a grand Christmas Eve party for the old man.

So now everyone was around Mr. Grouse's house having a great time. Lincoln's parents were talking with Miko's parents, the four of them all becoming great friends in the time Lincoln and Miko have known each other with the Rita and Lynn Sr helping Hugh and Mayumi manage all their kids activities, Nica was currently chatting it up with Lola and Leni, Geoffrey was hanging around Clyde, and Lincoln and Miko were sitting on Grouse's couch together having hot cocoa together. "Ya know it was really nice of you to do this for Mr. Grouse," Miko told Lincoln after wiping off a milk mustache. "Who knew he had a soft side."

"Well everyone deserves to be happy on Christmas," Lincoln answered with a genuine smile. That was one of the things Miko liked best about Lincoln. He was always putting others first and did his best to try and make everyone happy. "And look, I don't think I've ever seen Mr. Grouse smile so much." Looking, Lincoln and Miko saw one of Clyde's dads finish telling Grouse a joke with the old man laughing out loud.

Meanwhile back with Lola, Nica, and Leni, the former was currently telling the latter two about one of her pageants. "And so then I said-"

"Guys."

"AH!" Lola, Nica, and Leni all yelled in fright and jumped up as suddenly Lucy, the gothic 8-year-old of the Loud family, suddenly appeared behind them out of nowhere. Before either of the three could yell at Lucy for her antics, the black-haired Loud pointed at Lincoln and Miko. "Look."

The three went from scared to smirking as they looked at each other and nodded. "Time to work some magic ladies," Nica said as she and the others quickly went to work.

They quickly got to work and told the rest of the Loud siblings as well as Geoffrey and Lexi, deciding to keep it a surprise for all the adults in the room. "Hey Mr. Grouse," Lynn walked up to the man they threw this whole party for and pointed at one of his canes hanging by the door. "Ya mind if I borrow one of those?"

"My cane?" Grouse questioned as he scratched his head. "Uh, sure. But why?"

"Trust me, you'll see." Lynn grinned as she took the cane and ran off, Grouse just shrugging.

"Hey Clyde," Geoffrey asked after Nica came up and whispered something to him. "Mind if I have this?"

Geoffrey then reached into Clyde's hair and pulled out a mistletoe. "Aw man I thought I got all of those out," Clyde complained as he spent a lot of today pulling mistletoes out of his hair after he put on a whole hat of them to get a kiss from Lori…only to get attacked by birds. "Well go ahead."

"Thanks," Geoffrey said before walking off.

"Sup Mr. Kubota," Luna greeted casually as she walked up to Miko's mother. "Thanks for singing along earlier."

"It was no problem Luna," Mayumi told Luna with a smile, more then happy to help out the Loud family and the best friend of her daughter with his plan to give the usually grouchy Grouse a merry Christmas. "You wrote a really great song."

"Thanks dude!" Luna chirped before pointing towards a box of decoration by Mayumi's feet. "Hey think you can check that box for any leftover strings of tinsel."

"I don't see why not," Mayumi was glad to look for Luna and reached into the box. After a few moments, the Japanese woman took out a long string of silver tinsel. "Will this do?"

"It's perfect!" Luna smiled as she took the tinsel from Mayumi and started walking off. "Oh, and keep your eyes on Lincoln and Miko, fireworks are about to happen!" Mayumi rose her brow at that but decided to do as Luna said.

"We got all the stuff Leni." Lynn told her 2nd oldest sister as she, Geoffrey, and Luna presented the cane, mistletoe, and tinsel to the fashionista, who was near the top of the stairs. "We're all ready!"

"Eeeeeh! this is gonna be totes great!" Leni squealed excitedly as she first took the mistletoe and one end of the tinsel and tied the two together. Once they were tied together Leni took the other end of the tinsel and tied it to the end of the cane. "Ok everyone, this is about to happen!"

"What's about to happen?" Lori asked with a raised brow as she walked up the stairs to see what they were all doing. "What's with all the stuff."

"Nothing that concerns you," Geoffrey told Lori with narrowed eyes. She knew the oldest Loud sibling wasn't the biggest fan of his older sister. Over the years Lori's opinion of Miko more or less stayed the same, but it only got worse after Miko beat up Ronnie Anne as the oldest sibling was sure that the bullying meant that Ronnie Anne liked Lincoln, and Miko chased Ronnie Anne away before Lincoln could try and kiss Ronnie Anne. It got even worse when Lori found out that Ronnie Anne was the little sister of her boyfriend Bobby, causing Lori to become dead set on the idea of Ronnie Anne becoming a couple.

"Hmph, I literally have the right to know," Lori told the Kubota son with crossed arms as she glared at him.

"Hey Lori, what's that?" Lynn asked as she pointed behind Lori.

"What's wha-AH!" Lynn then proceeded to push Lori down the stairs.

"Now dude!" Luna yelled to Leni who quickly nodded as she held the cane out…holding the mistletoe over Lincoln and Miko's heads.

As Lincoln and Miko were talking, the latter was the first to notice the special plant that was above her and Lincoln's heads. Knowing full well what two people were supposed to do under that plant Miko brightly blushed…but smiled a bit as she moved a strand of hair that was in her face away. "Hey Lincoln…" Miko spoke up in a bit of a shy tone that made Lincoln a bit confused. "We've known each other for a long time right?"

"Well yeah, I still remember the day we met," Lincoln smiled fondly as remembered seeing a 6-year-old Miko hiding between two arcade machines at Joystick Jr's. "It's hard to believe how long it's been."

"Hehehe, I know right," Miko smiled as she scooted closer to Lincoln. "You know…you've been really nice to me. Even when I get a little crazy and overboard you've always been right at my side."

"Well yeah, that's what friends are for after all," Lincoln told Miko as he started to blush from the conversation they were having. "I'll always have your back."

"I'm…really glad to hear that," Miko said before looking up again. "But…what if we were…more than just friends?"

Lincoln's eyes widened as his face quickly went a deep shade of red. Was Miko implying…what he thought she was implying. "W-W-What do y-you me-mean by that?"

"…Look up." Miko told him while looking right into his eyes.

"Huh?" Lincoln did as Miko said and looked up…spotting the mistletoe. "Wait…is that-"

"COME HERE!" Before Lincoln could say anything, Miko grabbed Lincoln by his head and mashed her lips against his, bringing them into a deep kiss together. Mika's face was red but she closed her eyes as she kissed the white-haired boy with nothing but love. Lincoln's eyes widened like dinner plates as his heart went into overdrive and his face became lava red…but soon he relaxed and closed his eyes and leaned further into her lips. This just felt so right to him. Really…Lincoln's had a crush on Miko for a few years now but never did anything to act on it. He didn't want anything to act on it as he didn't wanna risk ruining their friendship over it…but now he had no reason to fear.

Miko felt the same.

"Oh my gosh!" Rita gasped excitedly as she and everyone watched as the two 11-year-olds kissed under the mistletoe. She's been waiting for this to happen for so long and now it's finally happened!

"That's my boy!" Lynn Sr cheered and clapped.

"Hehe, good for them." Grouse smiled and clapped at the sight.

"Oh Hare-bear get the camera!" Howard told his husband as there was no way they couldn't catch this moment on film. Meanwhile as Harold got the camera Clyde cheered and gave his best friend two thumbs up.

"Aaaaawww," Mayumi let out, glad she did was Luna said and kept her eyes on the two. Honestly she expected this to happen as it was obvious her daughter and Lincoln had feelings for each other.

"This ones going in the family album." Hugh smiled as he took Harold's example and snapped a photo of the moment.

"H-Huh…" Lori let out as she was dazed after being pushed down the stairs. But when everything became clear the first thing she saw was Lincoln and Miko kissing under the mistletoe. "What?!" Lori yelled as she looked to see Leni being the one holding the mistletoe over them. They set this all up! Even when they all knew about how she felt about Miko and the idea of Miko and Lincoln together?! How could they?!

After a good minute of kissing, Lincoln and Miko were forced to separate for air. They both panted lightly as they looked into each other's eyes lovingly. "So…" Lincoln struggled to begin. "Does that mean we're-"

"Does a salamander eat seaweed~?" Miko asked as she twirled a bit of Lincoln's hair in her finger. "Feels nice to have a boyfriend~"

"Heheh, guess I can say the same about my girlfriend," Lincoln said as Miko squealed a bit excitedly before mashing her lips together with Lincoln again.

On that Christmas Eve night, Lincoln and Miko officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.

THREE YEARS LATER

"Come on Lincoln…you're so close…" Miko crossed her fingers and struggled to stay still in her seat. Currently she, Mayumi, Lexi, Lynn Sr, Luna, and Lana were all together in the front row of crowd of spectators. All of them also had either hats, banners, or foam fingers with Lincoln's name on them to support him.

Currently all of them were Ohio for a gaming competition Lincoln has been preparing for, for months. The Pokemon Regional Championships.

Currently Lincoln was on stage at a table with his 3DS with his opponent right across from him. Both wearing headsets so they could only hear the game and each of them having a plushie on their side for good luck. For Lincoln he had a shiny sylveon plushie Miko got him for his last birthday while is opponent had a mega Charizard X plush. "Come on bro, you can do it!" Lana quietly cheered as she rose her orange foam finger up.

"Hey Miko," Lexi whispered to her sister, girl wearing an orange cap with Lincoln's name on it. "Do you think Lincoln can win?"

"Of course!" Miko reassured her younger sister as she kept her eyes on her boyfriend, the two having been together since that Christmas Eve. "He's got this, I know we can."

"Don't worry dudes, Linc has got this," Luna told everyone as she leaned forward.

"Alright folks, we're nearing the end of this competition." One of the commentators announced to everyone as they all looked at the screen above the two competitors where it was showing the footage of the battle Lincoln was engaged in. "It's one to one and both are down to their last Pokemon, whoever gets the KO will become the new 2019 regional champion."

"I tell you, competitor Lincoln Loud is gonna need a miracle to win this," The 2nd commentator stated as Lincoln was down to his Perfect Zygarde while his opponent was down to his Mega Mawhile. "His opponent still has that tailwind up so that Mawhile is gonna outspeed the Zygarde, not to mention its has less then half of its HP left. It's gonna take one hit to take it down."

"Come on son…" Lynn Sr breathed heavily, from what the commentators said this wasn't looking for his son. "You can do it…"

"It'll be ok Lynn," Mayumi reassured the Loud father, but she also felt anxious for Lincoln right now. "He can do this,"

"And here comes the Play Rough." One of the commentators said as Lincoln's opponent made his move and-

Mawhile's attack missed.

Cheers and yells were heard from all over the room of the convention center as they watched this take place. "I don't believe this ladies and gentlemen! Lincoln Loud got his miracle!" The other commentator shouted as Lincoln and Miko's family stood up and cheered as loud as they could with massive smiles on their faces. They watched as Lincoln's Zygarde used its own move and one-shot the Mega Mawhile. "And here comes the Thousand Arrows! And down goes the Mawhile! There you have it folks!"

Lincoln grinned widely as he graciously shook hands with his opponent before he stood up and couldn't help but raise his hands in victory. "You've seen it here folks! Lincoln Loud is our new Pokemon Regional Champion!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Miko loudly cheered as she jumped up and down, getting the attention of a few of the other spectators. "THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND EVERYONE! HE'S A CHAMPION!"

Lincoln noticed and heard Miko's cheered and just looked at her and smiled more. His life just kept getting better.

ONE YEAR LATER

Lincoln wasn't the only one getting into big gaming competitions either. Miko's also been competition, and winning, her fair share and right now she was engaged in her own championship match that was taking place in her very own state of Michigan.

"I can hardly keep track of anything that's happening folks! I've never seen a player play as fast as Miko before!" The commentator said as he was currently commentating the finals of a Super Smash Brothers Ultimate tournament with the final two players consisting of Miko and another girl her age. Miko was smiling confidently while her opponent was gritting her teeth in frustration. "It's like she knows everything her opponent is gonna do before they do it!"

"That's my Pixel Pixie!" Lincoln clapped as he and Nica were together in the front row cheering for Miko. Sadly everyone else in both of their families was busy but Nica was able to drive the two to the tournament where Miko was absolutely crushing it. "Show her what you're made of!"

"Teach her a lesson sis!" Nica cheered, while Miko's older sister wasn't into gaming as much as she used to be, Nica still supported her sister and was there to cheer her on.

"That's the plan guys!" Miko shouted back as she back her eyes on the screen. Her opponent was a pretty solid Pikachu player she had to admit, but Miko and her R.O.B were not backing down or showing any mercy. "Time to take this home!"

"No! No! No! No!" Her opponent said through her teeth as Miko knocked her character off the stage, jump above her and-

KO!

Spiked her off the stage.

"YEEEEAHH!" Lincoln cheered as he rose his hands in the air with Nica clapping loudly.

"And that's it folks," The commentator said as the crowd watching all clapped and cheered. "I certainly won't be forgetting this match any time soon. So you all better say hello to our new champion Miko Kubota!"

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about! I'm the queen of the world baby!" Miko cheered as she jumped up and down. Her gaming skills were paying off in big ways and both she and Lincoln were on the path of becoming big-time ranked gamers. Just then Miko looked down and grinned as she saw Lincoln in the front row. "Ooooooh Lincoln~"

"Huh? Wait! Miko wait-" But Lincoln was cut off by Miko jumping off the stage and landing right on him, pinning him to the floor as everyone watched as she collided her lips with Lincoln and started shamelessly making out with him, not caring if everyone watched them.

"Well…don't see that every day folks." The commentator said as everyone just decided to not bring it up, Nica putting a hand to her head and slowly shaking it.

ONE YEAR LATER

"Alright…wonder what Miko's second gift is gonna be," Lincoln told himself as he opened the door that led to the basement of Miko's house. Today was a rather big day for Lincoln, it was his 16th birthday! Lincoln, Clydes, and Miko's family all came together to put on a massive celebration for the Loud boy, and needless to say, he loved it.

Not only did he love seeing everyone all together, but they got him great gifts ranging from comics to gaming stuff, to some pretty sweet clothes. But after opening up Miko's gift, a Nendoroid of 2B, he found a note that read 'come to my basement at eleven o'clock for your second gift.' So now Lincoln was heading down the stairs to see what this gift was.

When he got down there, the only light was a few electric candles that gave the room a bit of atmosphere. The couch that was usually in the middle of the room that he and Miko played games together on was gone and replaced with a mattress. And on the mattress was Miko…in a sexy pose and wearing clothes that really showed off her body.

"Took you long enough to get here~" Miko said in a flirty tone as Lincoln froze and went red at the side. Miko was currently wearing a black bra that squeezed tightly over her C-Cup breasts, thin black panties that had the triforce symbol on the front of them as well as black stockings that really showed off her plump and heavenly thighs. "Don't you know it's rude to keep your girlfriend waiting~?

"S-S-S-Sorry…." Lincoln struggled to get words out as his eyes were glued to the sight of his girlfriend putting on a rather enticing show. "S-S-So I…I got your note..."

"I see~" She said as she lightly kicked her feet in the air. "Enjoying the little show~?

"W-Well um..." Lincoln gulped as he struggled to form any sort of response.

"So tell me, birthday boy, up for a little fun~?" Miko asked as she batted her eyelashes at him and rolled to her side to show off more of her body.

"I'm scared to ask..." Lincoln had an idea of what Miko was offering…and that just made him more nervous. "What kind of fun? A-A video game?"

"Nope~" Miko surprisingly denied, if it wasn't a video game…there really was only one kind of fun she had on her mind. "The kind that ends up with you and me on this bed together~ All alone~"

"Oh…." Lincoln looked Miko right in the eye…she wasn't kidding. "Oh wow you're serious aren't you?"

"Dead serious my little white mage~" Miko nodded as she licked her lips.

"A-Aren't we a little young for that?" Lincoln asked as he couldn't stop himself from taking a step closer to Miko. He…didn't dislike the idea. By any means. "I-I mean I d-don't mind it's just well…"

"I took a pill," Miko reassured him, despite her usual impulsive attitude she actually took all the precautions to get ready for his and make it as safe as possible. "And I looked it up, now that we're both 16 it's fair game~!"

"…Do your parents know?" Lincoln was getting even more tempted by this but wanted to make sure they weren't doing this without her parents' permission.

"Yep!" Miko confirmed with a big grin, she really did think of everything for this. "I asked them about it and as long as we're careful, we can do it."

"Huh, you actually thought this through." Lincoln smiled at Miko and nodded at her. "I'm impressed."

"Oh hardy har," Miko playfully rolled her eyes in response. "I can be the responsible one sometimes ya know."

"Hehe, I know." With all the precautions taken…he decided to accept Miko's second gift. "Well, I can't really refuse a gift like that from my Pixel Pixie~"

"I knew you wouldn't~" Miko raised her rump up and shook it a little, getting revved up for the night she and her boyfriend were about to have. "Now come here and give me some loving~"

"Yes ma'am~" And with that, Lincoln joined Miko on the bed. Soon enough the basement was flooded with sounds of kissing, moaning, and clothes being removed.

Lucky for everyone else in the house, the basement was soundproof.

THE NEXT MORNING

Once morning came, Lincoln and Miko could be seen sleeping together on the bed in the basement. All of their clothes were scattered around the floor and a blanket was covering everything but the couple's heads. But had loving smiles on their faces as Miko buried her head into Lincoln's neck, the two holding each other tightly.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

"Please be here, please be here, please be here…" Lincoln chanted as he walked up to the mailbox of his house and opened it up. Looking through the letters, Lincoln eventually came across the one he was looking for. A letter with a blue H on it. The logo of Hinobi.

"Yes! Ok, ok, ok, gotta call Miko." Lincoln quickly took out his phone and quickly called up his girlfriend who was labeled as 'Pixel Pixie' in his contact list. The phone answered almost instantly as Lincoln put it to his ear. "Miko! Did you get the letter?"

"You mean a letter from Hinobi saying whether or not we'll be in the Hinobi Smash tournament~?" Miko asked in a sly tone causing Lincoln to grin. "Then you better believe I did!"

"Ok! We open then together!" Lincoln said as he held his phone between his head and his shoulder and got ready to use his hands and open up the letter. "On three! One…two…three!"

At the same time, Lincoln and Miko opened up the letter. On both ends, they looked inside to see an orange wrist band with their gamer tags on it, LOUD_10 and ME_KO respectively. Seeing this wristband meant only one thing. "I GOT IN!" Both shouted at the same time. When the other realized they said it together, they both started cheering and jumping around in excitement.

"THIS IS HUGE!" Lincoln loudly cheered, unable to stop smiling.

"WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE IN IT!" Miko yelled in a high-pitched tone, letting all of her excitement out as they shouted in unison…

"HINOBI SMASH HERE WE COME!"

What a start huh folks?

Like I said I decided to do something different here and make Lincoln and Miko an established couple. So from the very start, they are together, have known each other for a decade, and have been a couple for five years. I honestly think they work SO well together as a cute and healthy couple and since they've already been together for a while, they've already worked over all the crazy relationship drama.

Also a few things to note, since Lincoln and his family have known Miko and her family for over a decade, some things are gonna be different that I wanna point out so there's no confusion.

1. Lincoln has known Miko longer than even Clyde.

2. Miko's family is a lot more organized than we see them in episode one of the show. Being around the Louds has taught them a thing or two about keeping a proper schedule of events and they have a lot fewer kids so it would be a lot easier to keep track of things.

3. Similar to my Bakugan fic, No Such Luck NEVER happened in this universe. It's not gonna affect anything so don't ask about it.

4. Thanks to Lincoln's influence, Miko's family is a lot more supportive of her gaming career.

5. ...Before anyone says anything about it the legal age of consent in Michigan, where I'm from btw, is 16. So that one scene near the end, totally fine.

And lastly, this is less about the chapter and more about my update schedule. For those who don't know I'm rotating between 2 stories at a time. Here's the current order of things...

Fairy Tail Z & Loud Techs

Loud 10 & RWBY Academia

Tornado Siblings & She-Ra and the War of Stupidity

Louds vs the Forces of Evil & Bakugan Loud Brawlers

So how it works is that I upload three chapters of the fics I'm on at the moment before moving on. So you got two more chapters of this and three of FTZ before I move onto the next two stories.

So I believe that's everything. I hope you all fav, follow, and leave a review and stay tuned for...

"Age of Hinobi Part 1"
