Lincoln woke up to a splitting stomach ache. Why did his stomach hurt so bad? That wasn't normal. He blurrily put a hand on his aching gut and rubbed his hand across his face, trying to remove the sleep from his eyes. When he felt he had done so, he looked out his window, sunlight filtered through the glass. A quick glance at his clock showed the time to be 11:30. Hmmm, a little later then he usually woke up on the weekend, but nothing too serious. Lincoln winced in pain at a fresh wave of assaulted his gut. It was the kind of pain that made, you want to just curl up in pain on your bed, under the covers and not be bothered.

The sole fifteen year old Loud son went to the calendar on the back of his door, to see if any of his sister's had any activities planned that day. They'd understand if he missed it if he was under the weather. He found the date, January 3rd , and saw no sports, comedy, or golf tournaments were planned for this day. But on the date, written and circled in purple was the words Spend day with Luna.

Lincoln: (devastated) No.

Of all the days to get sick on, this was definitely number one, on his hate list. As far back as he could remember, once every month, Luna and him would find one day to spend the whole day together. It was kind of a tradition. Of all his sister's, he felt just a tad bit closer to Luna. No big surprise, according to Lori, Luna had been the first one to hold him when he had brought home after being born. According to Luna herself, she used to sing to him whenever he got scared, was the first one to see him take his first steps. Heck even his first words had been Wuna. And know because of a stupid stomach ache, it looked like he might miss their tradition.

There was a knock at the door. Lincoln was startled by it, but recovered and mumbled a "come in" trying to keep the pain out of his voice. Who should open the door but the sister he was gonna have to break it to that he might not make it but Luna herself.

Despite the four years that passed, Luna had changed much , both in personality and attire, her hair was still in it's usual Pixie cut style, she still wore the purple rocker shirt and boots, but due to the cold weather out side, she was currently dressed in pants, with her purple coat and hat. The nineteen year old rocker smiled at her baby bro.

Luna: Oh, good your up, Linc. Was just on my way to wake you. You ready for our rockin' tradition of spending the day together? Just the two of us?

Luna's expression fell when she saw Linc's face. Having known him his whole life, she like the other older sisters could tell when something was bothering him. Lincoln jokingly had often referred to this as their Big Sister powers. And right now her big sister powers were, as he would put it, activated. Luna stepped in his room a little closer. Shutting the door behind her.

Luna: (concerned) Linc? You ok?

Lincoln inwardly panicked when Luna had been the one at the door, he had been hoping for a few minutes at least to think of a way to break it to her gently that he might have to cancel on their special sibling day. But when he saw how excited Luna was, to spend the day with her only bro, and how fast it had dissolved upon thinking something was up. Lincoln blurted out.

Lincoln: No, nothing's wrong Luna…just… have to go to the bathroom is all and I wasn't expecting you at the door.

Luna: (relieved) Oh, ok. Sorry about that bro, I'll be downstairs. Can't wait!

Lincoln couldn't help but smile at Luna's enthusiasm. Most people around the neighborhood got annoyed by the Loud family, because they only saw the Loud part, they didn't get to see the family part. The gentle, understanding and touching sibling moments. He felt bad for lying to Luna , but the sight of her face lighting up at he was ok, just made his heart warm. He watched as Luna exited his room, followed by the thudding of her heading downstairs. Heavy tred ran in most of the family, himself and Luna included. Now she was gone, however brought him back to the fact he was gonna have to cancel. Least he had bought a few minutes to think of a plan to break it to her.

Speaking of bathroom, he felt a pressure through the pain in his stomach. Turns out he did have to go. Lincoln looked out his room to make sure the cost was clear so he could afford to avoid another big sister mode being activated. He hurried to the bathroom and did his business and was heading back to his room when someone spoke up from his right.

Voice: Greetings, male sibling.

Lincoln started at the suddenness, silently wondering if Lucy was giving sneak up on people lessons. He turned and saw Lisa standing in her door way.

Lisa: Judging from the forced movement in your step , I can conclude you have…

Lisa went on for a second in her fast paced science talk. Needless to say, when she was done, Lincoln looked more than confused.

Lincoln: My who has a what now? English please.

Lisa: You've got a stomach ache.

Lincoln: Oh,…yeah.

Lisa: I can also see that from your pained expression, it is much more painful then your typical everyday stomach ache…I'm also aware that this is the day that you and Luna have planned your monthly sibling outting.

Lincoln: (sad) Yeah. Don't know how I'm going to tell her I'm gonna have to take a rain check.

Lisa: What if I told you, you could honor this tradition of yours and hers?

Lincoln perked up slightly at this. He was wary of course…but he and Luna hadn't missed one of their special sibling days ever since they started. A fact they took pride in…if Lisa was offering a way for him to participate…he could at least hear her out.

Lincoln: I'm listening.

Lisa: Step inside then.

Lisa headed inside her room, Lincoln followed. Lily wasn't inside, Lori must have already dropped her off at the day care already. The Loud house parents had taken the rest of younger sisters to a week long pageant of Lola's, but due to tests, games, and other complications. Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln , Lisa and Lily had opted to staying at home. Fortunately for the parents, Lori's week off from University happened to coincide with the pageant, so Lori could make sure everything ran ok until they returned. Lincoln followed Lisa to her lab table, blinking at all the colorful, liquids bubbling, boiling and being transferred by tubes.

Lincoln watched Lisa rummage around on her desk, shortly pulling out a test tube of purplish green liquid.

Lisa: (to Lincoln) This I believe will cure your stomach pain, elder genetically similar male sibling.

Lincoln: (cautious) What is it?

Lisa: a simple stomach ache cure, I assure you. (notices Lincoln's caution) I can promise you that I've tested this fully, made sure there wasn't any adverse and untoward side effects. It should relieve your aliment and allow you to spend the day with our third eldest sibling.

Lincoln took the liquid from Lisa and stared at it…it wasn't like him to throw caution to the wind when it came to Lisa. Who was known to use her siblings as test subjects in their younger days…but the possibility that it could allow him to spend the day with Luna like they had planned kept pushing itself to the front of his conciseness. Just then, Luna's voice sounded from the kitchen.

Luna: Hey, Linc, you almost ready bro?

That was the final push he needed. Lincoln tipped the liquid into his mouth, he swallowed quickly when the taste wasn't to his liking.

Lincoln: Now what?

Lisa: Just give it a second.

Lincoln gave it a second, then ten, then thirty…when a full minute rolled by and he still felt nothing. Wait, he felt nothing, no pain…it worked

Lincoln: Lisa. It worked.

Lisa: (pleased) Of course it did. I told you I…

Lisa was cut off by Lincoln lifting her up in a hug.

Lincoln: (grateful) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Lisa: (no big deal) Oh well, it was nothing. I know how important these days with Luna mean to you.

Lincoln: That reminds me, I better hurry up and get ready. Can't keep her waiting.

Lincoln hurried out of Lisa's room to get ready.

Later, Lincoln and Luna emerged from the theatre. It had taken a minute for Lincoln to slip into his normal clothes of an orange shirt and jeans , along with his winter clothes, before he had headed down stairs to join Luna, who accepted his excuse that he had just been helping Lisa with something. After that the two had headed out for the day they had planned. Per Lincoln's request they had gone to the theatre to see part one of the planned trilogy of the "The Halfling. Being the prelude to the King of the Rings". Luna still found it a little childish, but she was usually more willing then the others to humor Lincoln. In truth she just loved spending time with her baby bro. The movie itself hadn't been terrible, in fact it was actually enjoyable, the acting was spot on, the story itself was interesting, one Halfling roped in on a quest to help thirteen dwarves get their ridicules horde of gold from a dragon with a massive superiority complex. And a Wizard that for some reason kept disappearing, but always managed to arrive in the nick of time to save them. All in all, she gave it a nine out of ten.

Lincoln: Well, Luna did you like the movie? Any part you really enjoyed.

Luna: (smiles) I actually really enjoyed it, baby bro. And I'd have say the three trolls were the funniest part. Those cockney accents really sold it.

Lincoln: Right you are, Sis.

Right now, she was walking alongside her bro as they strolled through the park, admiring the frost and Ice glisten of the trees which really complimented the light snow on the ground. She listened as Lincoln went on and on about how the Halfling and King of the Rings tied together from the magic ring, and characters, like how the wizard and that freaky cave hermit creature was the only characters to appear in all six of the film's. Luna chuckled at Linc's enthusiasm, he was just so adorable when he got worked up about something he found so exciting.

Lincoln: Now don't get me wrong. I loved the movie, I just wish it didn't use so much CGI, King of the Rings mostly used people in special effects make up and because of that, it just felt more…real….and…

Luna: Linc…you feeling ok..bro.

Luna didn't like how her brother had just puttered off like that. Taking a good look, she saw he looked slightly ill.

Lincoln: (nods) Yeah…I'm…feel…fine.

Now he was talking weird…and was that sweat on his forehead? Luna immediately shifted in Big Sister mode.

Luna: (concerned) Linc….your not getting sick are you?

Lincoln: (waves her off) No…Lunes..I fine , just dizzy for a second.

Luna: Well, let's sit you down.

Luna led Lincoln over to the nearest bench. After sitting him down, she immediately placed the back of her hand to his forehead…He definitely should not be that hot…something was definitely up.

Luna was getting ready to ask something else, when Lincoln suddenly collapsed face first into the ground and went absolutely still.

Luna: (worried) Lincoln!

He was still breathing, that had to be a good sign. Luna dropped to a kneel, and shook her brother, trying to wake him. When that yielded no results, she looked around the park. They wasn't another soul in sight, they were completely alone. Luna gaze returned to her brother and what she saw almost gave her a minor heart attack. At fifteen and a boy, Lincoln was roughly the same height as her, 5'9 to 5'10. But now he looked smaller? At first it happened slowly, but as Luna watched his size began decreasing rapidly… first four feet, then three, then two…in less then five minutes. He was so small, Luna was afraid he'd shrink into nothing…then as suddenly as it had began it stopped. Lincoln was now at least three and a half inches tall and at most four inches tall. Her little bro put a definite little in little. While Luna was trying to process what she had just witnessed…she heard Linc groan as he started to come to.

Lincoln awoke again for the second time today to find something odd. Only instead of pain, it was biting cold, he felt it even though his winter clothes. And what was brushing against his face, it was soft, cold and wet…and why did he feel the hard ground underneath him when he had been on the bench? If he was on the ground, then that wetness must be the grass? Had he blacked out or something? Lincoln sat up in a crouch… then a kneel, finally he tried his legs. A little shaky but he could stand…that had to mean something good.

Lincoln started in fright as he felt something grip him and lift him up, it was warm, soft, and scratchy. Lincoln squirmed trying to get loose, before a second…what ever it was came up and wrapped around him, sealing him in frightening darkness? Lincoln thrashed in desperation, fighting for freedom, wanting nothing more then to know what was happening,..and where was Luna?

Suddenly there was light, blinding painful light. Lincoln shielded his eyes and kept hitting at the things holding him. A familiar, though somewhat odd sounding voice broke through his fright.

Voice: Linc?...calm down, bro!… it's me.

Lincoln: (surprised) Luna? What happened? Where are you?!

Luna: Open your eyes…just don't freak out. Ok, I don't want to drop you, little dude.

Wait…what? drop him? Why and how could she drop…..Lincoln opened his eyes, and his question died halfway in his throat. He saw that the strange, scratchy warmth, was actually a pair of gloves hands , and Luna was right in front of him. Only massive, a literal giant, or as Luan would joke, a literal big sister. Lincoln was sitting in palm of Luna's right hand. But…how? How could this be happening? How could Luna have grown?...A quick glance around, showed everything around him and Luna, was normal size ..Luna hadn't grown…he had shrunk!

Luna watched her bro look around, scared and disoriented, confused. She could understand… she'd feel the same way if she was suddenly downsized. Sitting in her suddenly giant siblings hand. She noticed he was trembling, aforementioned he was obviously terrified…but…not of her, right? Surely he knew, she may be way bigger then him at the moment…but never in a million years would she purposely harm him.

Luna: (trembling) Linc…I'm not scaring you..am I?

Lincoln paused his frantic looking around at the obvious hurt in her voice. Lincoln, looked up into Luna's face and though he saw the beginning glistening of a tear start to leak out of her eye. True, he was a little intimidated by the sudden size difference, it was natural for humans to be wary at things larger then themselves. But , he reminded himself, this was Luna. Sure, she had taken part in some of the teasing him about his hobbies, and had ganged up on him with the others during instances like the money hunt, that whole bad luck fiasco, friend card. But throughout his life, whenever he had needed someone to talk to. To understand, a shoulder to cry on..she had been his rock. The very thought that he might be scared of her almost broke her heart, and him realizing this almost broke his.

Lincoln scooted around on her hand, until he was by her thumb, it was nearly as big as him. He hugged the appendage fiercely.

Lincoln: No Luna, your not scaring me. I know it's still you, just way bigger. I'm just …cold.

As soon as he said it , he realized that was an understatement…he wasn't cold…. He was FREEZING! He hadn't realized it as he panicked, but consoling Luna had made him suddenly realize, it felt like the cold was seeping into his very bones. His clothes felt useless. Lincoln hugged his knees to his chest. He didn't think it was possible to feel this cold.

Luna was relieved to hear her bro wasn't scared of her, but the confession of being cold, immediately put her back in big sister mode. She looked around , the whole park was still deserted. No one to see what had happened, but she was actually grateful. If anyone did see, Lincoln might be taken away, to be experimented on and studied. She couldn't allow that. Come to think of it…how had Linc shrunk in the first place? First things first however, Little Linc was cold.

Luna: Linc, I'm going to get up and go sit on the bench, don't move, I don't want you to fall. Then I'll see if I can warm you up, ok.

Lincoln: (shivering) Ok…Lu…Luna.

Lincoln laid down on his side, hugging his knees to his chest, trying to warm himself up, even just a little. He felt the whole world rock and shift violently as Luna got to her feet and walked over to sit down. Lincoln smiled softly at how careful and gentle she was with him sitting in her hands. At his regular height, he might have found the coddling embarrassing. But being, this small, and having a giant Colossus that wanted nothing more than him to be safe…felt nice.

Lincoln felt Luna sit down, and again her left hand came over and covered him completely in darkness, but now that he was aware it was Luna he didn't fight. Just lay there in the dark, waiting for the warmth to return to his being. The hands opened briefly, and a rush of hot, damp air blew over him. Air that had the faint, sweet underlying scent of soda. Air, he realized that had come from Luna's mouth, she was breathing on him, trying to heat him up faster. Just for a second, that freezing feeling lessened. After a few more minutes of being covered and blown on, Lincoln felt the hands open to show a concerned Luna looking down at him.

Luna: Feeling any warmer, bro?

Lincoln: a..bit.

Luna: Good. (about what happened) Now, what the heck, bro!? Why are you shrunk?

Lincoln: I don't know, I woke up this morning with a pain in my stomach and Lisa said…

Lincoln groaned as the pieces fell into place. Lisa must have tricked him into testing out one of her experimental formulas. Lincoln looked up as he felt Luna gently patting his head with her finger.

Luna: Hold up, Linc. What was that about stomach pains and Lisa.

Lincoln: (sheepish) Well, I woke up this morning with a terrible stomach ache , and I thought I might have to cancel our special sibling day, but Lisa said she could get rid of it, and she did…only…

Luna growled in her throat at this not waiting to believe it was so, but she wouldn't put it past Lisa. Then her gaze returned to Linc and her angry expression softened.

Luna: (gently scolds) Linc, if you weren't feeling up for today, you could've just said so. I would've understood.

Lincoln: (guilty) I know, but you looked so excited, and we've never missed a special sibling and… Lincoln falters and holds his head down, looking ashamed.

Luna sighed, she hadn't meant to upset him, she was just worried…it didn't help that he just looked so darn adorable in her hand. Before she fully realized it, she had plucked up Lincoln and pressed him against her cheek in a gentle hug.

Luna: (comforting) Hey, it's okay, bro. I'm not mad, just worried about you is all.

Lincoln returned the affection gladly, holding his arms across his big sis's warm cheek. One of his legs was close to her lips, he could feel more of the hot, damp air from her mouth, breezing against his leg.

Lincoln didn't want to say it, but Luna's attempt at warming him hadn't been very successful. He still felt more freezing cold then he had ever been. But for some reason, the mouth air, cut through the cold where the other attempt had failed. What was happening.

The two separated and Luna's expression became one of irritation, as she pulled out her phone and pulled up her contacts.

Luna: (to Lincoln) Lisa, on the other hand. She better have some way to fix this or…

Lincoln inwardly shudders at Luna's tone. Luna was usually one of the calmer sisters, but when she got riled up…everyone knew it.

Luna found Lisa's number and clicked it, putting it on speaker phone so Lincoln could hear.

Lisa: (on phone) Greetings, Third eldest sibling.

Luna: Don't you greetings, third eldest sibling me…you got some explaining to do!

Lisa: What ever do you mean?

Luna: (annoyed) I mean that I got a three and a half inch tall Linc, in my palm!

Lisa: (bored) Oh, that explaining.

Luna: (angry) Lisa, did you do this?!

Lisa: Of course. I need someone to test out my lasted formula.

Lincoln: (cutting in) But why? Why'd you trick me?

Lisa: (like it was obvious) Cause you wouldn't let me try it out on you if I'd asked. I even added some painkiller to it to fix your stomach ache.

Luna brings the phone closer to her and set Lincoln on her shoulder. She felt sorry for him as the tiny form snuggled closer to her neck. Shivering with cold.

Luna: (to Lisa) Lisa , just what did you give him?

Lisa: Simple, a shrinking solution designed to aid the medical professionals.

Luna: With what?

Lisa: Surgery and diagnosis. Tell me how long has Lincoln been shrunk? Is he experiencing extreme cold

Luna: (confused) Uhhh, maybe thirty minutes? And yeah, little bro feels like an ice cube.

Lisa: I see, well that's not good.

Luna: Can you fix this?

Lisa: Of course, I got an antidote in the works , but Lincoln doesn't have the time to wait…unless ..

Luna and Lincoln: Wait, What did you mean don't have the time.

Lisa: Like I said , I designed the formula to shrink people. The reason is for them to go inside a patient's body to get a clear diagnoses to whatever ailed them and help with surgical procedures, unfortunately it's still a work in progress. There are some kinks to work out still…

Luna: Linc's not in any danger is he?

Luna had meant to sound commanding, but a large hint of worry edged her voice.

Lisa: Not if we work fast.

Lincoln: I'm not gonna die, am I?

Lisa: Again, not if we work fast. Now the kinks are that Lincoln's the first human subject for this…I've tested it on inanimate objects, according to my calculations. The formula works with it's primary function, protection against the interior of the body…acids and heat and the likes, breathing as well. Unfortunately this makes the subjects defense against outside elements, like cold almost non existent. And now that Lincoln's been in this stare for almost forty five minutes he's running out of time

Luna: (worried) Your saying Linc's gonna freeze to death!?

Lisa: Yes…but I have a solution.

Luna and Lincoln: Well, what is it!?

Lisa: Like I said, the effects of protecting the subjects from the body works…

For some reason, Luna began to feel a tinge of foreboding in her chest.

Lisa:…so if you swallow him, he will survive.

Luna and Lincoln: (aghast) What!?

Luna: (shocked) You want me to eat him!?

Lisa: (annoyed) Not eat, that would imply you are ingesting him for actual nutritional value…but since the formula protects him from this, he'd be perfectly safe, while I work on the antidote.

Luna: How long will making the antidote take?

Lisa: About until time for our parental units and other siblings return.

Lincoln: (uneasy) You mean I'd have to be inside Luna for a week?!

Lisa: Correct, male sibling…but I assure you that you'll be…

Luna: (interrupting) Can't I just keep him in my pocket until, we get home and look after him there?

Lisa: Unfortunately , not. The temperature inside the house could shift , or he could be damaged by other means, we all know how Lynn can get, the constant heat of your stomach is the safest place for him, Luna. He won't be digested I assure you.

Luna: (looks at Lincoln) We'll talk about it.

Lisa: I suggest you hurry, clock is ticking.

Lisa hung up ,Luna put her phone back in her pocket. Then took Lincoln off her shoulder, and held him in her palm.

Luna: So, any thoughts bro?

Lincoln: (shaking) Well, Lisa did say, I'm running outta time, and that this was the only way. But I don't like it?

Luna: I agree, it's even worse than tricking you this morning, not to mention something else could happen to you. I'd be devastated if anything happens to you…but please, Linc. If me doing this keeps you safe, I'll do it. But I don't want you to be unwilling.

Every part of Lincoln's brain was screaming NO! YOU CAN'T SURVIVE THAT! NO MATTER WHAT LISA SAYS! Save for a small part, the survival part it said, "Stupid, it's either this or freeze to death, besides it's Luna. You can trust her". That he could agree with. He knew Luna would never in a million years purposely harm him. He also saw Luna was just as frightened about this as he was…perhaps even more, she was literally holding his life in her hand right now…Lincoln took a deep breath as he reached his decision.

Lincoln: (trembling) Ok. I trust you Luna.

Luna felt her heart melt at this. Luna knew survival into account an all, this was still asking a lot. The fact Lincoln was willing to go through with this, that he trusted her enough to go through with this….it meant the world.

Luna: (weak smile) Linc…I can't tell you how much that means to me. I'll try to do it fast.

Lincoln: (weak smile as well) Not too fast. I don't want you to choke. Is there any way I can help?

Luna: (in her head) Good old Linc. (out loud) Uh, not kicking would be a big help (looks at his attire) and I know, your cold, but maybe take off your ,shoes, socks and coat and hat. I don't want you to over heat.

Lincoln: (removes what she asked) I'll try to not kick.

Luna picked up the discarded attire and put it in her pocket. Then gently picked Lincoln up around the waist, feeling sad at how much he was shivering now that the winter clothes were gone, and raised him up to her face.

Lincoln couldn't resist the urge to shudder inwardly, at the sight as Luna's mouth opened, but he forced himself to remain calm as he was brought closer. Just before he was placed inside however, he squirmed. Luna instantly pulled him away.

Luna: What's the matter bro? Your not having second thoughts are you?

Lincoln: (shakes his head) No, it's just….can you please do it feet first…please.

Lincoln couldn't explain it. He trusted Luna, but for some reason, the idea of going down head first was just too terrifying. Luna smiled softly.

Luna: Sure thing , baby bro.

Luna lifted Lincoln up a little higher then she was going to originally, and slid her baby brother into her mouth, closing it quickly. Linc lay surprisingly heavy on her tongue, and she couldn't believe how cold he felt, he was like a living ice cube. Luna grimaced as she began shifting the little form around on her tongue, not liking how it felt like she was tasting him… but she knew she was going to have to slick him up for the trip down, if she didn't, he'd hurt. To her surprise, Lincoln remained almost perfectly still. He just lay there and waited.

Lincoln gasped in surprise at how fast and good the change of temperature felt. As soon as Luna closed her mouth, sealing him in darkness, squashed between her tongue and the roof of her mouth, the warmth seeped in. He was still freezing at the moment, but the heat cutting in felt wonderful. Luna's tongue began to shift him around, he was momentarily shocked and frightened at this. But he quickly calmed down, realizing that she had to this, other wise he'd hurt her going down, and that was the last thing he wanted. He felt a pang of disgust at the saliva soaking into his clothes and sticking to his skin, but oh…the warmth out weighted all other feelings. He felt Luna tilt her head slightly, realizing she was preparing to swallow, and again felt a twinge of fear, but steeled himself. He trusted Luna and was determined to show it. He heard an echoing gulp and his legs were suddenly pressed together in the slick, tight confines of his sister's gullet up to his waist. Even if he wanted to back out he couldn't. Another swallow and he felt himself slide in deeper.

Luna was again taken by surprise at how still Lincoln was…admittedly, he more then likely was simply enjoying the warmth. But she still expected a wiggle or two at the swallowing. Even now she could feel him, sunk up to his chest in her throat. Even then, nothing. She could even feel his little chest go up and down with shallow breath Luna could feel her own breath start to get short, as her brother stretched her gullet. She suddenly felt a questioning little squirm, Lincoln was wondering what was taking so long. With one last breath through her nose, Luna tilted her head slightly and gave a third swallow, feeling this one do the trick as Linc slipped completely into her throat, stretching her gullet further and feeling her other organs shift aside slightly as he slid down deeper into her core. It felt so surreal, half of her kept expecting to wake up and find this was just a dream. But the weight and bulge in her throat felt too real. True to his word, she didn't register a single kick or struggle from the small form heading down. He really did trust her, that made her smile. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt Lincoln squeeze past her collar bone and into her chest. Before Luna could fully register it, Lincoln tumbled into her belly.

Lincoln groaned as he was pulled down Luna's throat by the velvety soft walls. Partly out of mild disgust at the thick slime covering him head to toe and partly in relief at the glorious warmth. He just felt cold now, instead of full freezing. He could only imagine the warmth was even more intense inside her belly. He felt pressure as he slipped past what he vaguely recalled must be her collar bone. Luna's heart was going a hundred and nine miles an hour, and he could feel his own racing , and nearly beating out of his chest. His whole body reverberated with each beat. Just to see, Lincoln tried to squirm, but couldn't do more then shift barely, even if he really tried he doubt he could make more than a slight wiggle. There was a sudden rush as the pressure around him vanished and he fell a short way before landing on the soft , rippled floor at the bottom. The bottom of his Big Sister's stomach.

Lincoln didn't move much after he landed, just curled up hugging his knees to his chest, enjoying the wonderful heat, trying to soak up every ounce of warm he could, and warmth was plentiful in here but it was surprisingly not uncomfortably hot, and he didn't feel the burning of any acid…seemed Lisa was telling the truth, he was safe. He couldn't tell how long he lay in the heated, wet darkness. But as soon as he felt warm enough to move he set about exploring the environment he was gonna have to spend a week inside. In all honesty it wasn't too bad, besides the slime . It was soft, and warm. The knowing he was safe was almost exhilarating The constant thudding of Luna's heart coming from above was actually kind of soothing. As he thought of his sister, it suddenly dawned on him that he hadn't heard or felt anything from her since she had swallowed. No movement , no nothing. Immediately guilt filled him. He had been so busy getting warm, he forgot how she must feel, how was she holding up?

He figured if he went in a straight line he'd eventually hit a wall. He stood up and tried to move on the squashy floor. That didn't work, all he accomplished was a face plant. He tried again, moving on his hands and knees, that worked, and he shifted about a few feet in front of him until his hands brushed against the curve from the floor joining the wall. Lincoln rubbed hard against the wall, trying to get something. After a few seconds of vigorously rubbing, he felt something press inwards against the wall, almost cautious. Lincoln flinched at the sudden pressure, then rubbed again, realizing it must have been Luna pressing a hand against her stomach. Feeling it vanish quickly, almost like it was frightened. A second later it was back, Lincoln kept on rubbing.

Luna had spent…she couldn't tell how long, minutes, hours? Just sitting on the bench, the slight weight of Lincoln in her stomach reminding her it wasn't a dream. For a while, nothing happened. Luna didn't know what to expect, she figured he was busy getting warm and accustomed to his new surroundings. Then Luna gasped as she felt what could only be her little bro moving inside. She hadn't expected to feel anything, but she was acutely aware of every single movement. To her relief T least, the movements weren't kicks and struggling, more like… he was exploring. There was a sudden intense feeling, but it vanished quickly , then a tingling warmth. Luna was briefly confused and cautiously pressed her hand to her gut, only to jerk it away when she felt a rubbing against it. Luna smirked as she realized what had happened. Lincoln must have been worried when she hadn't done anything for a while. Typical of him, he was the one that nearly froze, yet here he was concerned for her. Gently, Luna pressed against her belly again, letting him know she was ok, feeling the rubbing pushing up against her hand. For a few minutes that's how they passed the time, Lincoln rubbing at her from the inside, and Luna gently stroking back. Luna couldn't lie to herself, Linc's rubbing felt…good. Tingly and rather nice.

A sudden vibration from her phone ruined the moment, Luna looked down in mild annoyance as she took it out to see it was a text from Lori.

I'm on my way to get you two. I know what has happened, where are you?

Surprised, Luna typed back a reply.

Park.

Ok.

With that, Luna's phone went silent. Luna put it back into her pocket, a rubbing from Linc, got her attention, pushing against the wall of her stomach. Probably wondering why her stroking had stopped. Chuckling , Luna started up again, feeling the little form relax.

Luna: Lori's on her way, baby bro. She knows what happened.

Luna was just talking, but to her surprise, Linc's rubbing increased at her words.

Luna: (surprised) Can you hear me in there, bro?

More rubbing. Luna smiled at this, realizing it was a strange way to communicate, but still. She only wished she could actually have a actual conversation with him, see how he was holding up, this WAS a unusual day, survival aside.

Lori pulled up a short wait later, Luna heard vanzilla before she saw it. But as soon as it came to a stop, Luna hurried over to climb into the passenger seat, and they were off…there was silence. Then.

Luna: Did Lisa tell you what she did?

Lori: No, but it just so happened I was heading upstairs when I heard you shouting at her through her phone. So I listened in. Luan and Lynn showed up during it also.

Luna: So..they..know what I did.

Lori: Yep.

Luna swallowed nervously, while she wasn't guilty at how she shouted at Lisa and what she had to do…she would've preferred if as few people knew as possible. She felt Lori stare at her, but didn't say anything. Then they came to a red light.

Lori: (turning to her) Did you do it?

Luna: It was either that or he froze to death!

She hadn't meant to sound so cross, but she felt she had to show she didn't like the extreme measures it took.

Lori: I'm not judging, or accusing you…it's just hard to wrap my head around that (indicates Luna's stomach) Linc's really in there?

Luna noticed her staring, and instinctively placed her hands over her belly. Lori looked to make sure the light hadn't changed before returning her gaze to Luna, and held out a hand.

Lori: (hesitantly) Do..do..you mind?

Luna almost said no, but remembered Lori was capable of big sister mode as well. She just wanted to prove to herself Lincoln was safe and sound. Luna lifted her hands.

Luna: Go ahead, dude. I'll watch the light.

Luna felt the oldest Loud child gently place her hand against her stomach, only to jerk it back with a yelp of surprise.

Luna: (worried) What!?

Lori: (shocked) He literally just moved!?

Luna: Lights green. (amused smirk) And of course he's gonna move, brah, you think he's just gonna sit there in my stomach for a week, doing nothing? I imagine that'd get boring after a while.

Lori: I just wasn't expecting to feel it, so easily.

Lori put the car in gear and started again.

Luna: What did he do?

Lori: I just put my hand down and he started rubbing.

Luna: He probably thought you were me checking up on him.

Lori: Can you feel him when he moves or something?

Luna: Very much.

Lori: What does that feel like?

Luna: (sheepish) Well, when he first did it, it was a lot weird, but after a while it started feeling, good weird. Tingly and what not. And just so you know, he can hear us talking or me…in any case. I told him you were on your way and he started rubbing, then when I asked if he could hear me, he started rubbing harder.

Luna put her hand against her stomach and stroked it gently, feeling him cautiously rub back, obviously put off by the event of what just happened.

Luna: (amused) That was Lori, bro. You freaked her out.

She felt him give a amused wriggle. Lori frowned.

Lori: (defensive) I wasn't freaked out…just caught off guard..that's all.

Lincoln smirked from his spot beside the stomach wall, he had opted to stay there, for two reasons, him and Luna's strange way to communicate…and in all honesty, just as his rubbing felt good to her, the stroking felt good him. Calming and letting him know there was people on the outside looking out for him.

He had gotten a kick when Luna told him it was Lori that jerked her hand away, and her just saying it was just from being caught off guard. He could hear them talking, outside. Luna was easier, the voice was louder, and the floor under him vibrated. The other was harder, he had to listen really hard to distinguish it was Lori's , even then he could only catch a word or two. He wished there was an easier way to communicate. He rubbed at the wall, and almost instantly felt the now familiar and welcome feeling of Luna stroking gently back. Still might as well enjoy one of the few benefits. He snuggled closer.

Lori: Before I forget, Lisa told me to tell you to come see her when we got back.

Luna scowled at the mention of the prodigy's name. She gently kept up the stroking of her gut. If it wasn't for Lisa, Lincoln wouldn't be where he was.

Luna: (cross) I don't want to talk to her, much less even see her.

Lori: (nods) I can literally understand that, but she says it's important. Think she said it's something both You and Linky would find useful. I'll go too, I still have to chew her out for using her siblings as lab tests.

Luna: (huff) Fine.

The rest of the drive passed by in silence. When they arrived, Luna exited and headed for the door and up the stairs. Lori got out and followed. There wasn't a sign of Luan or Lynn, or Leni. She was expecting Luna to be toppled over as soon as she entered, with the three other older sisters of Lincoln yelling at her gut, asking if he was ok…Did Leni even know? Probably not, probably at the mall.

Luna didn't waste time, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible. She practically stomped holes into the stairs as she headed up. Inside her room, Lisa was mixing chemicals.

Lisa: (not looking) Judging from the sounds of your heavy tread, you are not to pleased to see me, third oldest sibling.

Luna: (voice low with uncontained rage) That's an understatement, brah! I'm pissed. Just get whatever you want over with so I can go.

Lisa: Very well.

Lisa headed over to a drawer and took two objects out of it. She strolled over to Luna and handed them to her. Luna looked them over. They looked like ordinary blue tooth earpieces.

Luna: (angry but curious) What are these?

Lisa: (back at the table) They'll let you and Lincoln communicate with each other while he's in your stomach…you really thought I'd do something like this and not have a way to speak with them?

Luna: (angry) Nice to know you planned for everything, brah! Can I go now!?

Lisa: As you wish.

Luna turned to leave, she saw Lori waiting at the door.

Luna: (as she passed) Let her have it, Lor.

Lori: (glares at Lisa) I will.

Luna turned and headed back into her room, while Lori closed Lisa's door behind her. Both were unaware of two pairs of eyes following the rocker.

In her and Lucy's room Lynn and Luan watched as Luna headed into her and Luan's room, while from Lisa's room the intimidating sound of Lori's yelling at the scientist, grated on their eardrums.

Luan: Dang, Lori's really letting her have it.

Lynn: Lisa's just lucky, I'm not in there, I'd let her have it, too.

Lynn may be one the more rocky relationships with the Lincoln, but she truly and deeply loved her little bro. When she found out what Lisa had done, she had stormed inside and would've probably tore her head off, before Lori intervened. After Lori had left to go pick up Linc and Luna, she and Luan had met and after a while a idea had surfaced in her mind.

Luan: Are you your sure you wanna go through with this, I mean I love Linc too, and I know Luna's to be trusted, but that's still a lot to ask.

Lynn: If you wanna back out, I don't hold it against it you. But I need more than words I need solid proof Linc's ok.

Luan thought of the idea Lynn had suggested, after Luna and Lori had finished with Lisa. Again it was a lot to ask, but being roommates as well as Sisters, Luan trusted Luna will her life. And not to mention Linc was her baby bro, as well. If anything happened to him, she'd never forgive herself.

Luan: Nah, I'm still in…

Lynn: (smiles at the eighteen year old) Good, now we just wait for Lori to finish biting Lisa's head off.

The two winced at the yelling behind the door, increased

Luan: Man, it's a good thing the younger sisters aren't here.

In Luna and Luan's room, Luna sat on top of her bunk, staring at the earpieces, one was so tiny it was like a very tiny piece of thread. Luna sighed, hating to use anything that Lisa made after the stunt she pulled. But still, the thought of actually speaking to Lincoln besides the rubbing, no matter how good it felt, was to tempting.

Lincoln knew they were home now, he heard the sounds of conversation, and caught Lisa a few times. Feeling anger at the mention of her name. A feeling Luna shared, he heard the anger in her voice, and the way the floor underneath him vibrated. But now Luna was just sitting, doing nothing. Concerned Lincoln felt his way to the wall, he had been a tossed around a little bit as Luna had made her way up the stairs, not to mention when she had just flopped down, where ever she was. He was gonna have to let her know that was a no go.

Lincoln rubbed at the wall, expecting to feel the strokes he had come to expect from this, only this time nothing happened, Linc tried again harder this time. Still nothing, then from above, he heard a faint noise, so soft it was practically none existent. Confused, Linc just sat down and leaned against the soft, pliable wall.

Luna: Linc?

Lincoln shot to his feet and promptly flopped face first in to the floor in shock at hearing Luna's voice perfectly and sounding close.

Lincoln: Luna? What's going on ?

Lincoln kneaded the floor and in answer heard a rumbling chuckle, coming as if from inside.

Luna: Linc, as nice as that feels, gonna have to ask you to stop, bro. I sent something down, help us have actually conversations.

Startled Lincoln felt around the floor hearing Luna giggle at the movements from…where ever it was…soon his hand brushed against something made of… he couldn't identify it Why was Luna swallowing this.

Lincoln felt around the item curiously, and suddenly saw a blue light activate.

Lincoln: (uncertain) Lu…Luna?

Luna: Good to hear your voice, bro.

Lincoln: (startled) Ho..How?

Luna: Something Lisa made, wasn't too happy to see how far ahead she thought of this. But it was a way to for us to actually communicate with each other.

Lincoln felt the item more carefully, and figured out it was a ear piece of some kind, like the ones that fit around your ear. Lincoln cleaned off the slime as best he could and fitted it around his ear.

Lincoln: As much as I'm still peeved at Lisa, I kinda appreciate this. Now we can speak besides just rubbing.

Luna: I hear ya, little bro. Though I hope you'll still rub ever now and again.

Lincoln smirked even though he knew Luna couldn't see.

Lincoln: (playful) Awww, did you enjoy that.

Luna: (sounding guilty) Well, after swallowing you, I felt I deserve something, and it feels…nice.

Lincoln smiled, Luna definitely deserved to indulge in the few nice feelings him being in here could provide.

Lincoln: (teasing) Fine, if you're a good big sis , I'll rub every now and then.

He heard a light thudding , not her heart beat he could tell that. No, this made the whole area shake. Lincoln couldn't help but chuckle softly as he realized Luna was patting her stomach.

Luna: Come on, bro. Don't make me beg, I'm providing you five star accommodations in there.

Lincoln: Meh, four and a half. I'd ask for light, but I'll probably regret if I got it.

Lincoln heard Luna chuckled at this. He joined her.

Luna: So…what's it like in there, bro?

Lincoln: Besides all the slime, and not being able to see , not bad actually…It's warm, soft…safe.

Lincoln gently kneaded the floor again. He heard Luna give a loving laugh.

Luna: Aww, glad you feel that way. You feel kinda good in there, if I'm being honest.

Lincoln: Don't get to use to it . I'm only in here for a week. Oh, and before I forget.

Lincoln kicked at the floor. He felt Luna grunt in surprise, and a questioning pat.

Luna: Oi! What'd my belly do to deserve that?

Lincoln: That's for plopping down earlier, felt like I was going over Niagara falls in here. That's why your belly deserves that.

Luna: (guilty) Oh…sorry.

Lincoln: Do it again, and I'll forgo on the rubbing.

Luna: Dang bro, you cold as ice.

Lincoln: (warmly) No, not any more…thanks to you.

Lincoln couldn't help but smile at the complete irony of the situation…He was alive and well, all because Luna had swallowed him. If he wasn't confined in her stomach at the moment, he'd be frozen to death. He snuggled into the hot, damp flesh, suddenly feeling tired. He gave the floor a fond, apologetic rub.

Lincoln: (yawns) Think I'm gonna take a nap, Luna. Sorry about the kick, and…thanks for looking out for me.

Luna felt her cheeks go warm at the grateful words from her belly's tiny occupant. She felt a great sense of responsibility for her "little " bro tucked away inside her gut. He was counting on her to look after him, and she was definitely gonna do just that. She felt Lincoln get comfy and gently stroked her stomach until she felt the breathing grow slow and regular with sleep.

Luna: (warm) Sweet dreams, baby bro.

Luna felt herself slowly drifting off to sleep as well, after all her and Linc been through today, she felt they definitely earned a few hours rest.

Unfortunately Luna felt herself jerked awake about an hour later, by a knock at the door. Luna grumbled with more than mild annoyance. Looking outside she saw the sky was beginning to darken. Gently she got up and climbed down slowly so as not to wake her little occupant. She smiled as she felt him shift slightly and sleepily before snuggling deeper into the bottom of her stomach, only wishing she could see him curled up , looking all cute and sleepy.

Luna opened the door, to see Lynn and Luan standing there smiling uneasy.

Lynn: Hey, Lunes, you up to anything?

Luna: (tired) I was asleep. (raised eyebrow at Luan) and it's your room too dude, why you knocking?

Luan: (nervous) well…

Luna felt Lincoln shift again and subconsciously scratched at the spot, noticing the other two staring at this, Luna again instinctively placed both hands over her belly .

Lynn: (hesitantly) So….

Luna: (defensive) Yes…I swallowed Linc..if I didn't he would've froze…now if you don't mind.. I'd like to go back to sleep!

Luna felt a pang of guilt at the hurt expressions that crossed both the funny and sporty Louds faces, but she was tired, well actually all the Louds hated being woke up suddenly.

Lincoln: My feelings exactly.

All three Loud Sisters jumped at the sudden voice coming from Luna's ear piece. Luna shook off her surprise faster than the other two and immediately placed her hand to her gut, glaring at Luan and Lynn.

Luna: You happy dudes!? You woke him up.

Luna felt a light thump in her belly from Linc.

Lincoln: Actually it was you, Luna.

Luna: Me?

Lincoln: I told you , you move , get up, plop down, anything, I'm gonna have to deal with it. FYI, I appreciate you trying to do it without waking me, but landing face first in a puddle of slime, is NOT in my top ten ways to wake up.

Luna: (guilty) Sorry, bro.

Lincoln: It's alright, Luna. Just see what Luan and Lynn want so we can get back to sleep.

Luna: Sure thing. (to Luan and Lynn) Well, dudes you heard him. What do you want?

Lynn: (before she could lose her nerve) We…wanna check on Lincoln?

Luna: You just heard him, he's fine. He wants to go back to sleep and so do I. So if you don't mind.

Luna tried to close the door, Lynn blocked it with her foot.

Lynn: No, like check , check on him.

Luna opened the door as she realized what Lynn was suggesting . Luna looked shocked.

Luna: (uncertain) You mean…

Luna pointed to her stomach. Both Lynn and Luan nodded.

Luna: You sure dudes?

Luan: Yeah.

Lynn: We already took the formula

Luna: What!?

Luna must have disturbed Lincoln from him trying to get back to sleep, she felt him give a confused wiggle.

Luna: How'd you even get more.

Luan: Lisa made a whole drawer of the stuff.

Lynn: And I told her if she didn't want me to drop her off the roof, she'd be wise to hand some over.

Under normal circumstances, Luna wouldn't have approved of the threat. But since Lisa was responsible for where Linc was now, she'd let it slide.

Luna: You guys know, you'll have to stay in there once your in? No coming out for a week. That is if I agree.

Lynn: (serious) Yeah, Lisa explained the whole thing, about how we're going to be unprotected to the outside elements and what have you .

Luna: Your willing, to go through with this. Even if you're stuck in me for a week?

Luan: It's for Linc.

Luna: Well how long ago did you take it?

Lynn: (mischievous grin) About an hour and forty five minutes ago, didn't want to leave you much of a choice.According to Lisa, takes about two hours for the shrinking to take effect.

Luna crossed her arms, but inwardly smiled at this. Upset they had backed her into a corner, with it though. If she didn't do it, they'd die. She couldn't live with herself if that happened. But it was a rare thing to see these two in big sister mode. Lynn was more sports and competition, and Luan was a jokester. But they could clearly buckle down when the situation called for it. They'd obviously thought this plan of theirs through.

Luna: (admitting defeat) Ok, i'll check with Linc. See if he won't mind sharing. (in her head) Though even if he does, he'll have too.

In truth Lincoln had been trying to get her attention for the whole conversation. He must have been confused by the tone in her voice. She felt him kneading her stomach floor, for the past minute. When that didn't work, he tried a different tactic, Luna felt a hard little kick.

Lincoln had finally resorted to kicking after the kneading hadn't yielded any results. He heard Luna's conversation with Lynn and Luan, halfway, in truth he was still half asleep. But he could tell whatever Lynn and Luan were talking about clearly surprised Luna, so he had tried to get her attention to see what was going on.

The kick had done it. He heard a indigent grunt. Then the wall in front of him move inwards as Luna pressed her hand against her stomach.

Luna: (indigent) Oi! Bro, no kicking! My belly don't appreciate it none to much.

Lincoln: Well I had to get your attention, somehow, you weren't responding to the kneading. What do Lynn and Luan want?

Luna: Well, Linc..how'd you like some visitors?

Lincoln: What?

Luna: I mean Luan and Lynn wanna come in there with you.

Lincoln: Sorry, can you repeat that. I think I miss hearing you.

Lynn walked up to Luna and took the ear piece out of her ear.

Lynn: Nope, you heard her right, Linc. Me and Luan want to come in and check on you.

Luna took the ear piece back.

Luna: They thought this through, bro. They already took the stuff. Think I got room for two more siblings in there?

Lincoln thought about it, he did a fair bit of exploring when he was awake, and getting tossed and tumbled around. Couldn't see much, but sure felt like there was plenty of space to share. Truth be told, if they were willing , he be okay with it. And Luna didn't have much of a choice if they already took the stuff.

Lincoln: (to Luna) Well if their certain about it… from what I felt you got room, though it might be kinda snug. Tell them I'm cool with it.

Luna: I'll let them know. (to Lynn and Luan) Linc says I got room, and he doesn't mind sharing.

Luna climbed back up to her bunk.

Luna: (to Lynn and Luan) Oh, and take your shoes off dudes, I'm doing this, I don't want any cleat prints on my insides.

Lynn and Luan bent over and took of their shoes and socks and climbed up after Luna.

Luan: Luna can we talk to Lincoln?

Luna: If he's still awake. Little bro is pretty tired. (pokes her stomach) Yo Linc, you still up?

Lincoln: Kinda have to be right now. Didn't you hear, I'm you tummy's welcoming committee, gotta greet the new occupants when they get here.

Luna: Funny bro. Luan and Lynn wanna talk to you.

Lincoln: I'm listening.

Lynn leaned over and prodded Luna's gut.

Lynn: So, Linc..what's it like in there. Give Luan and me a heads up what to expect.

Lincoln: Well you can't see much, and it's like slime canyon , but beyond that…kinda nice…it's soft, warm. Luna's a great person to spend a week inside of, when she doesn't just plop down, then this place is like being tossed around on a leaky water bed.

Luna: (indigent) Hey!

Lynn and Luan: (laughs)

Luan: Linc…burn…Luna…

Lynn: Yep…he…did…

Luna smiled as she saw that the shrinking process was beginning to take effect. Soon both Lynn and Luan flopped and plopped respectively. Luna sat back and watched the two start to get smaller. Luna patted her belly, just to make sure Linc was still up.

Luna: Well, Linc get ready to…

Lincoln: (interrupting) Do not say roll out the red carpet.

Lincoln was silent as he waited for Luna to do anything. After a second he felt a vibration in his pocket.

Lincoln face palmed himself, how had he not felt his phone in his pocket after all this time!? He fished it out and upon activation, saw Luna sent a photo. Opening it he saw Luna with her tongue out in her classic rocker face. Underneath it was a text.

Nah, bro that's my job.

Luna: I was gonna say get ready to do your job. Or have you already forgot your my Belly's welcoming committee?

Lincoln: How'd you know I had my phone.

Luna: Felt it when you were on my tongue, dude. Kinda surprised it didn't fall out.

Lincoln: So you didn't try to text me because...

Luna: Didn't wanna waste your battery bro. besides It would be good for temporary conversation, but call me a sentimentalist but I want to have a more personal way to hold a conversation with you.

Feeling more than a little touched, Lincoln wormed along the floor over to the wall and rubbed. His smile grew as he felt the wall press in and the familiar pressure of Luna stroking him affectionately through her stomach.

Luna: (teasing) Aww, is someone touched?

Lincoln: (pressing the wall) How are Lynn and Luan coming along.

Luna: Why, you feeling lonely?

Lincoln: Not particularly, I don't mind some company, but the sooner they're in your tummy, the soon we can get back to sleep.

Luna: (yawns) I hear ya. Their the right size, just waiting for them to wake up.

Lynn groaned as she rubbed her face, Lisa could've warned them about the passing out part. And good gravy! She wasn't kidding about the freezing part. It felt like she was in the tundra. Lynn slowly got to her feet, hugging herself, trying to get warm. Where was she, why was everything purple?

Voice: Lynn?

Lynn: Luan?

Luan poked her head up over a incline of purple.

Luan: (shaky grin) Sheesh, Chill Lynn.

Lynn: (sarcastic) Ha. Ha. Shrunk everything except your joking.

Louder voice: Cold, little dudette's

Startled both the shrunken Loud sisters looked up to see the now giant Luna looking at them.

Lynn: Now I know how Linc felt.

Luna: Yeah, but your handling better then he first did. I was afraid I was gonna drop him, little bro was struggling so hard. So you little dudes ready? (pats her gut) Bros waiting for ya.

Luan: Ready as we'll ever be. Dang, it's cold.

Lincoln: Try spending almost an hour like that.

Lynn: What'd he say?

Luna: He said try spending almost an hour freezing like that. (to Lynn and Luan) So who's going first.

Lynn stepped forward.

Lynn: (shivers) I will it was my idea…to….d…do this, after all.

Luna: All right, little sis, don't kick, if you don't mind.

Luna picked up Lynn around her shoulders.

Luna: You prefer I do it feet first? That's how Linc wanted it done.

Lynn: Just get…get it..over..with. it's freezing o..out here.

Luna simply nodded and gently placed the tiny form in her mouth, before closing. Lynn wasn't an ice cube like Linc had been. Cold but not almost frozen solid. Then again, they hadn't been this way very long. Luna began shifting Lynn around on her tongue, just like Lincoln, she was slicking the sporty girl for the trip down. She felt vibrations inside her head as Lynn made disgusted little groans and a wriggle now and again. Feeling she had got her ideal, Luna tilted her head back, feeling Lynn slide up to her shoulders, with her head dangling down her throat. Luna swallowed, Lynn slide up to her waist. Luna felt the tiny legs kick slightly, and couldn't help but grin. Linc handled the process better, that would irritate Lynn. Luna gave a second swallow feeling Lynn go completely into her throat. Like Lincoln Luna felt her gullet stretch with her other organs shifting aside to make way for the second sibling she swallowed today.

Luan just stood looking up in fascination, at the smooth bulge traveling down Luna throat, ideally wondering if Linc made a bulge like that…and if she would do the same. Luan saw the bulge vanish as it slipped past Luna's collar bone. Luna saw Luan's curious expression and grinned.

Luna: (points to her stomach) Fancy a listen, see if you can hear them?

Luan nodded, Luna plucked up Luan by the back of her shirt and lifted up her own shirt before dropping Luan onto her warm belly.

Luan snuggled up against the skin, pressing her ear into a spot and listened hard.

Linc hadn't been lying when he said this place was a slime fest, and she wasn't even in Luna's gut yet, Lynn thought. After being placed in Luna's mouth, she had been shifted around on the rockers tongue, feeling disgusted at the saliva soaking into her clothes and sticking to her skin. Her hair was full of it. Then her whole world suddenly tipped and she found herself sliding down to the darker path at the back of her throat. Before she knew it , she was encased up to her waist, head first in soft, velvety and tight, slick esophageal walls. Lynn kicked her legs, trying to tell Luna to hurry up, and it seemed Luna understood, their was a second swallow and Lynn felt the walls close over her feet as she slid completely inside, her heartbeat quickened as she felt her adrenaline surge as her sisters throat muscles dragged her into the darkness, and downward. Slime coated her face as the walls smothered her, and tightened as she squeezed past the collar bone. Luna's heartbeat drummed loudly in her eardrums. Lynn felt like her own heart was gonna beat out of her chest. Suddenly and with a cry of surprise Lynn fell a short way through open air and land on a soft, pliable and rippled floor that conformed to her hands and knees as she raised up.

Lynn: (calling) Linc? Lincoln!?

Lincoln: Over here.

Lynn: Over where?

Lincoln: Can't say, direction doesn't really mean much in here. Just feel round and eventually you'll find me.

Lynn: Fine. Don't move, I'm coming.

Lynn shakily rose to her feet, only to lose her balance and flop face first in a puddle of slime. In the darkness, she heard Linc chuckle.

Lincoln: Sorry, should've warned you about that. Luna's tummy ain't the best place to walk.

Lynn muttered under her breath as she started feeling around on the squashy floor, "just like a water bed" she mused only slimy. But besides that, he was right about it being soft, and hot, but not uncomfortably so. All and all it actually was kind of cozy. Lynn started as she brushed against something odd feeling. Cautiously she rubbed at it and feel it jerk away.

Lincoln: That's my leg, Lynn.

Lynn plopped down beside him, drawing him into a one armed hug while giving him a playful noogie.

Lynn: Nice to see you again, bro. Metaphorically speaking.

Even in the darkness, Lynn could almost still see him, frown as he tried to worm away from the noogie .

Lincoln: (sleepy whine) Come on, Lynn cut it out!

Lynn grinned, he was trying to sound firm, but all she could think was he was probably looking adorable, all tired and annoyed.

Lynn: Get used to it bro.. I'm stuck in here with ya for a week.

Lincoln: Yeah, and as welcoming committee…welcome to Luna's stomach.

The seventeen year old jock smiled at the words.

Lynn: Thanks.

Lincoln: So what do you think?

Lynn: Well I could deal with less of the saliva, and the darks so thick, you could cut it with a sword. But it's soft, like you said. Warm too, (jokingly) though remind me to tell Luna the entrance need work, little tight.

Lynn thumped the floor underneath her, only to shout as she felt a thudding that made the whole area shake, she grabbed Linc and held him close. Lincoln grinned.

Lynn: What was that!?

Lincoln: Luna CAN feel us in here, you know? She's patting her stomach.

Lynn: Oh.

Luna: (Lincoln's earpiece) Hey, anyone in there?

Lincoln: (amused)No, who is this?

Luna: (amused) I'm who your living in, brah.

Lynn smiled at the playful teasing in the conversation.

Luna: Take it you found Linc, , dudette?

Lynn drew Lincoln closer to her, both in affection and so Luna could hear her better.

Lynn: Yep, I found him. Took me a minute or two.

Luna: I know, I felt ya, sis. Luan almost fell off my stomach, I was holding my chuckles in.

Lincoln: Why is Luan ON your stomach? Thought she's supposed to be IN your stomach.

Both Lincoln and Lynn chuckled at the rumbles that must have been from Luna laughing.

Luna: She wanted to see if she could hear you. Can you?

From the ear piece and almost directly above them, they faintly heard Luan.

Luan: Sorta, it's muffled.

Luna: (playful) Don't worry, dude you'll hear them very good, real soon.

Luan smiled as she heard her younger siblings muffled laughter coming from somewhere in the darkness inside Luna, at Luna's words. Then she smiled even more as she felt Luna rubbing the top of her head

Luna: Well, you ready to join em?

Luan: Yeah. (to Lynn and Lincoln) Hear that guy's, hope you remembered your umbrella, cause the forecast calls for dark skies and a chance of Luan's.

Luna smiled at her younger siblings banter.

Luna: (to Lynn and Linc) You heard her, dudes. Get ready for sibling number three.

The two inside her wriggled in an amused manner, electing a chuckle, Luan crouched low on her stomach to keep from being shook off.

Luna: (to Luan) All right, dude.

Luan shakily stood up and held up her arms, clearly eager, now that she heard her siblings on the other side. Luna smiled and gripped the jokester and lifted her up.

Luna: Head or feet first?

Luan:Uhhh, feet.

Luna: Sure thing, that's how Linc wanted it as well.

Luna gently lowered the little form inside, letting go and feeling her drop onto her tongue. Feeling Luan shake, probably from both anticipation and cold. Like Lynn, she wasn't as cold as Linc, though she was colder than Lynn. Luna closed her mouth, and set to work, shifting Luan around on her tongue, like Lynn there was little groans of disgust, Luna even fancied one of the vibrations sounded like "gross". Once she felt she was slick enough, Luna tipped her head back and swallowed, feeling Luan slide in up to her waist. One more swallow and the third Loud sibling slipped completely inside and down, little wriggles and squirms stretched her gullet further. Luna sighed, as she felt Luan slide past her collar bone and tumble into her belly. Luna exhaled and pressed her hand against her stomach as she felt Luan start moving

Luna: (to herself) Better not be any more joining. Thought I was good with just one, but three's definitely my limit.

Still it felt nice, feeling Luan wiggle around searching for the other two, and settling down when she did, feeling the weight of three of her little siblings tucked away inside her. With Lincoln, it wasn't noticeable, but with Lynn and Luan added, she felt the weight tugging at her belly, not painfully though, it actually felt kinda nice. She just sat up for a minute or two, listening to Luan hugging her little bro and their conversation, until Lynn invited her to join.

Lynn: Well Luna, we're all settled, by the way which one of us was hardest to get down?

Luna: (chuckles) None of you were particularly hard, but Linc went down the smoothest. Didn't struggle or kick , but it DID take me three gulps to get him down. You and Luan only took two.

Luna thought she heard a playful annoyed huff from the jock, and patted her gut.

Luna: Ahhh, don't take it personal, he was probably too cold, little dude was practically a ice cube.

Luan: (piping up) How do we feel in here?

Luna: Well when you guys do pretty much anything, it tickles. And you guys are tugging at my stomach, with all three of you guys.

Lincoln: (slightly worried) We aren't hurting you are we?

Luna rolled her eyes, and felt Luan and Lynn chuckled as they shared her sentiment, typical Linc. Luna stroked at her stomach, feeling that the three had worked their way to the wall so they could feel her.

Luna: (comforting) Nah, bro don't worry your" little" head. If I'm being honest…you all feel kinda nice.

Luan: Ha! Little , I "see" what you did there.

Luna felt one of them, shift closer to another one.

Lynn: (amused) Our "little " bro.

Lincoln: (huffy) Hey, when we're normal sized, I'm taller then you two.

Luan: (equally amused) Yeah, but we're older, so you'll always be our, adorable little bro.

Luna again felt her heart melt , she could practically see the two sisters snuggled close to Lincoln, hugging him, while Lincoln would look fake annoyed. She only wished she could actually see this touching scene.

Luna yawned , suddenly remembering how tired she was.

Luna: (yawns) Alright my little occupants, I'm gonna hit the hay.

Lincoln: (yawns) Yeah, sounds good..just don't…

Lincoln got cut off as Luna fell backwards on to her pillow, only to realize what she did after. She felt the three little siblings tumble around in her gut. She stroked her belly apologetically

Luna: (sheepish) Opps, sorry dudes.

Luna felt a series of very annoyed squirms, Luna bit her lip trying to keep from laughing at the tingle feeling sent throughout her body.

Lincoln: (irate) Luna! I told you , you can't just plop down!

Lynn: (annoyed) Felt like I was in a dryer.

Luna: I know bro I'm sorry I forgot?

Suddenly, Luan piped up, sounding devious.

Luan: Oh really? Maybe we can teach you, not too? Lynn, Linc come here.

Luna felt the three huddle together, Linc must have removed the ear piece, so she couldn't hear them concocting. Luna didn't like it, not one bit.

Luna prodded at her stomach.

Luna: (suspicious) Oi! What are you dudes up to in there?!

Lincoln then must have placed the ear piece back. Luan's voice sounded.

Luan: (taunting) Well, you did say if we did any one of us did something in here, it….. TICKLED.

Luna's eyes went wide, realizing what they might be planning. It was a well known fact that her, Linc, Luan and Leni were the most ticklish ones in the family.

Luna: (warning) Don't do it, dudes. Don't even think about it. I'm warning you… if you even..

Too late, Luna felt three sets of hands start kneading and rubbing the walls all around them. Luna bit her lip again at the tingling sensation shot through her body…

Luna: (in her head) Hold it in Lunes! Don't …

But at that moment Luna lost the battle, a fit of uncontrollable laughter erupted from her lips. The feeling of rubbing vigorously increased at this, egged on by the success. What was worse was that Luna couldn't do anything, besides kick her legs helplessly with tears leaking from her eyes , as the three kept up their assault on her sensitive innards. This went on for several minutes. Luna held her tortured belly with one hand and beat her bed with the other.

Luna: (gasping) Du…Dudes.. please….stop…I can't breath!

Lincoln: (amused) Nah, don't think we will.

Luna: (gasping) I…I'm warning..you…if you…don't…stop…I'm go..gonna.

Lynn: (teasing) Awww, what's big sister Lunes, gonna do? Huh, you can't stop us.

The three smiled in the darkness of their big sis's belly, their fingers kneading and rubbing at the walls and floor, giving her no chance, alternating spots… while the whole area was trembling with an earthquake of tortured laughter. Hearing the thudding of her kicking and pounding on the bed.

Their world suddenly shifted violently, throwing them around and in to each other. Luna must have rolled over in her spasming fit. Before they could recover, they felt Luna roll over again.

Luna: (panting) My…turn.

Luna gasped in relief when she had rolled over in desperation, trying to halt the abuse on her poor stomach. It worked, the three tumbled around. It was time to teach them she could play hard ball too, quick before they recovered and started again. Rolling on to her back again, Luna gasped for air, held in the last one, then pressed both hands against her belly and lifted up, squashing the three, who started squirming as they felt their space become enclosed as the already limited area become smaller. All three were pressed together. Luna held in her laughter at the aforementioned squirming, but it wasn't as intense as the tickle torture. After a minute, she felt the movements slow. Luna let out her breath before taking in one more so she could speak.

Luna: (firm) All right, dudes. I think I made my point. Your guests, and I want you to enjoy your stay in your big sis hotel, but do something like that again, though, I'll do something worse. Now…if I stop squashing you, you promise to behave yourselves?

In answer, Luna felt three submissive wriggles letting her know that they admitted defeat. Slowly, Luna let them have their space restored, and gently leaned back onto her pillow, laying on her side. Luna felt three sets of hands rubbing at her again, but this was the gentle, relaxing rubs she had enjoyed from Lincoln. Feeling somewhat guilty at the drastic measures she took, Luna responded with her own gentle strokes. Luna yawned as she kept it up. Her sense of responsibility had grown, now that Luan and Lynn were stuck in her gut for a weak as well. Three younger sibs that were depending on her to look after them, keep them safe and happy. It made her feel good they trusted her this much to be willing confined inside her, even if it was they only way for them to survive at the moment. With another yawn Luna slowly drifted off to sleep.

Outside her door, Lori smiled softly at the sounds of the rocker slowed, she had seen everything that happened. She was worried about the family when she left for college, not any more…they'd look after each other. Softly, Lori closed the door and headed to her room.

Luna awoke a few hours later, it was dark, both outside and in her room. In her Belly her little sisters and brother must have drifted off as well. Their breathing was slow and relaxed. She felt one shift and snuggle deeper into the pliable flesh of her stomach. Smiling as she imagined how adorable they all must look, Luna slowly brought her hand up and stroked her belly. Then, to her slight surprise, she felt one of the forms crawl over to where her fingers were resting and gently rubbed back.

Softly so as to not wake the two sleeping, but still loud enough to be heard, Luna kept stroking as she whispered into her ear piece.

Luna: Ok, whose up past their bed time?

Lincoln: Me.

Luna: (slightly worried) What's wrong, bro? Can't sleep?

Luna felt a light, reassuring rub.

Lincoln: Nah, just woke up is all. But I think Lynn and Luan are out cold. Tickling you, really seemed to wear them out.

Luna: Wore me out too, bro.

Luna stroked her stomach again, Lincoln shifted so as to right up to the rubbing. Luna frowned, she could feel he was thinking hard about something. Big Sister mode was instantly on alert. Luna pressed gently at him a few times.

Luna: Everything ok, Linc?

Luna felt him rub at her fingers, seeming nervous. Luna gently rubbed at him, trying to see if that would relax him enough to speak. After a few minutes he seemed to relax somewhat.

Luna: (warmly) Linc, if you wanna get something off your chest, I'm all ears. Tell big sis Lunes what's troubling you.

Lincoln: (slowly) It's just….I kind of don't want to leave here...

Luna felt her eyes go wide in surprise. Ok, getting used to being in her stomach is one thing, but wanting to stay is something else entirely. Luna rubbed at him confused.

Luna: (confused) Can you repeat that Linc? You wanna stay in my gut?

Lincoln: (soft and trembling) Ye…yeah… I mean this place , may seem off to some people…but I feel safe, warm, secure, not to mention I got a rockin' big sis to look after me.

Luna felt him rub at her fingers again, and then she felt her heart shatter as he sounded like he was seconds away from tearing up. Luna instantly stroked at him comfortingly.

Luna: (imploring) Come on, baby bro, don't cry. You know I can't stand to see, hear, or feel that.

She heard him sniffle.

Luna thought about it. She knew Linc had a big heart, and that made him sensitive to a lot of things . But she couldn't keep him in here forever, she wanted him to live his life. But she also hated to see, hear or feel him in any degree of sadness. Then just like that, an idea began to form in her brain. She smiled as she set to stroking at him again.

Luna: (soothing) Look bro, you can't stay in my Belly forever, I want you to live your life to the fullest, and I'd miss seeing your adorable face . Can't really see you in there, now can I?

Lincoln: (pleading) But, you'll have me with you always..and…

Luna: (presses him gently) Not finished bro, your gonna have to come out. But how about a compromise. You come out, but if you ever feel the need to feel like you are now, guess I can let you use my tummy as your special safe place. Sound good?

Luna waited, keeping up the gentle, comforting rubs as Linc thought of her offer. After a few minutes, though she got concerned by his lack of response. She prodded him lightly.

Luna: (softy) Sound good, bro? We gotta deal. You come out, when the antidote is ready…but my belly is open whenever you need it?

Lincoln: But…if…we tell our parents..what Lisa did….

Luna: (thinking quickly) Well, we'll make her an offer. We don't tell them, and she lets us use this shrinking thing whenever you want. (smiles warmly) And if I'm being honest bro, kind of like having you in there myself… guess I can live with being your safe place.

Luna waited a minute longer, then felt him give her an affectionate rub.

Luna: So…we got a deal?

Lincoln: Yeah, we got a deal I guess it's the best. Guess I'd get tired of not seeing anything, and your inconsiderate plopping.

Luna gave him a slightly rougher prod.

Luna: Careful bro, I can forgo the offer, leave you in the harsh, unforgiving world.

Luna felt a little guilty for playing that card, but grinned as she felt him rub desperately.

Lincoln: (hasty) Ok, ok. I'm sorry, please Luna!

Luna felt Lynn and Luan start to shift uneasy, like Linc was disturbing their slumber. Luna rubbed at him, and felt him go quiet.

Luna: (chuckling lightly) Keep it down, don't wake your belly mates. Just kidding, bro. The offer is still open. Gonna have to do some serious rubbing to make up for that comment, though.(Prods him, firm)Now I want you to go to sleep, baby bro. Enjoy your stay in Casa de Luna while you can.

Luna smiled as she felt him snuggle against the wall and press on it, grateful.

Lincoln: Thanks, Luna. You're the best. (begging) But…can you keep rubbing?... just until I fall asleep?

Luna: Think I can manage that.

Lincoln: Thanks.

Luna cheeks went warm again as she started to stroke him again, feeling him get calm and cozy, and soon he was breathing slow and relaxed too.

Luna: (yawns) What are big sister's for?

Luna closed her eyes and drifted off again, gently stroking the sleeping form of her awesome baby bro.

It was well after dawn, when she woke up again. Feeling the weight of the three siblings currently calling her home, brought a smile to her face. Slowly, so as to not disturb them, Luna carefully climbed out of bed and stood up and stretched. Instantly she felt a series of squirms. Luna sighed as her hand went down to her stomach.

Luna: I didn't wake anyone again, did I?

Luan, Lynn and Lincoln: Nah, truth be told we've been waiting for you, we were just about to try waking you.

Luna: Well no need. Just gonna head downstairs. You guys need anything?

Lynn: Food would be nice.

Luna inwardly swore, and face palmed. How could she forget something so obvious. She felt rubbing from three pairs of hands, as if they felt her reaction.

Luan: Now, don't beat yourself up for forgetting, Luna. You had a lot on your plate yesterday.

Lynn: Yeah, us.

Luna smiled at the jab.

Lincoln: How's eating gonna work?

It seems they had all realized that the only way they could eat was for Luna to eat.

Luna: Well, I guess I'll just eat, and you let me know when things get cramped in there.

Luna prodded her stomach, only to feel her finger connect with someone's head.

Luan: Ow.

Luna: Sorry.

Lynn: (rubs intensely) Come on, if we're hungry, you gotta be too. I know the three of us aren't filling you up.

As if on cue, Luna felt her stomach rumble and three amused wriggles.

Lynn:…Your Belly agrees Lunes, To the kitchen!

Chuckling in an entertained manner, as she rolled her eyes, Luna headed downstairs to the kitchen. There was a note from Lori, saying she was spending the day with Bobby, and that Luna was in charge.

Luna: (to her occupants) Note from Lori, dudes. I'm in charge for the day.

Lincoln: (mock annoyance) And here I was planning on rebelling.

Luan: And how you gonna do that , not snuggling up to Luna when she rubs at us? Don't think I don't see you, get to experience the most. Ya little hog.

Lincoln: Don't blame me, if she rubs at me the most. I'm her favorite sib.

Lynn: (shoves Luna's stomach impatient) Helloooo. All four of us are hungry. Argue about whose rubbed at the most, after Lunes got a full Belly and a reason to rub.

Luna smirked, why couldn't they all be this adorable together on the outside? Lynn's comment elected another noisy gurgle from her stomach. Almost like it was talking. " Hurry up and eat food, whatever's inside me now is useless."

Luna: Gotta agree with Lynn, dudes. Don't reckon you fancy spend the day in a noisy stomach. (to herself) Linc's right though, he's my favorite.

Luna pulled open the refrigerator door and took stock of the food to pick from.

Luna: (to her occupants) Ok, dudes. We got peanut butter, soda, some leftover pizza…

As the words passed her lips, a series of excited squirms writhed inside her.

Luna: (rolls eyes) Take it you want the pizza.

More excited squirming. Luna patted at her stomach.

Luna: (chuckling) Ok. Ok. Pizza it is.

Luna decided to take it slow, one small bite, a series of squirming as each occupant fought to have it. Luna patted her gut firmly, feeling the wiggles slow.

Luna: Oi! No fighting! Plenty more on the way.

The slow approach didn't last . Her hungry little siblings not withstanding, Luna was far from stuffed herself. One piece disappeared, then a second, followed by a third. Halfway through the fourth, she started to feel some kneading, but ignored it in her hunger. Five slices and the kneading was more intense, then the kicking started. Finally feeling what might be up, Luna poked her gut, letting them know it was safe to lay off. feeling the kneading and kicking subsided.

Luna: Sorry, dudes, was more hungry then I thought. Take it I'm as full as you can take.

Luan: Yep. Any more and it'll be over our heads. Tell you one thing, this pizza looks more appealing in the box.

Luna chuckled sheepishly that she almost buried her siblings in pizza, and not in the way they would prefer. She returned the rest of what was left in the box to the fridge. A note on the coffee pot caught her eye. This too was from Lori.

Figured Luan and Lynn might like this, try not to drown them, or Linc.

Luna could hardly say she was surprised, Lori knew Linc had company, probably all that laughing, or she might have been watching the whole time, if something was troubling her siblings, or she was worried Lori would be on it like a hawk. But coffee definitely sounded nice, though Lincoln probably wouldn't be excited. Little dude never developed a taste for the stuff.

Luna: Won't tell them, Lori knows, or the coffee, see how it surprises them.

Luna pulled a mug from the cupboard, and poured a cup of the steaming liquid, Lori must not have been gone long. Grinning to herself how caught off guard they three were gonna be. Luna tilted a good amount down her throat, her smile grew as the warm liquid felt great going down. The coffee pooled into her belly and Luna grinned at the fury of wriggles it caused, judging by the sudden franticness, it seemed one of her little sibs had been doused in the coffee waterfall.

Luna couldn't tell, but it was Lynn that got the coffee shower. The sporty Loud had unknowingly been sitting under the esophagus, eating her way through the pizza that now covered the floor, the little Louds were up to their chests in the pizza mush. All three felt a little weirded out that they were eating food that Luna had already eaten, but it was either that or go hungry. Lincoln and Luan had already eaten their fill, but Lynn as they knew had the biggest appetite of the family. Lynn suddenly felt a rush of warm liquid douse her from above and scrambled wildly , startling the other two. The little Louds waded through the food, in a panic, until Lynn thought she smelled something familiar about the liquid, and licked a small amount off her arm, while shaking a bit out of her hair

Lynn: It's coffee.

The other two stopped and sniffed, the strong smell of the liquid now reached their noses. Then the familiar thudding and shaking of Luna patting her Belly, accompanied by a amused, rumbling chuckle.

Luna: Sorry, dudes. Couldn't resist freaking you out a bit. Like the surprise. Which one of you got the coffee shower?

Lynn: Me! Not sure, send some more down though, I need a second taste to figure it out.

Luan: (excited) I second that.

Luna: (chuckles) Sure thing.

Lynn and Luan crowded where the scent was strongest. Lincoln heard now the tell tell noise of Luna swallowing, then sound of another torrent of coffee joining the food and Loud siblings occupying the Rockers stomach. Lincoln rolled his eyes at Luan and Lynn, drinking the steaming liquid as best they could, he never got the big deal with it.

He just waded over to the wall and sat against it. He felt the wall press into his back, as Luna rubbed at him.

Luna: (soft) Hey, how you doing, bro? You seemed a little upset last night.

Lincoln was a little surprised, didn't think Luna could be that quiet. He felt a little embarrassed at how he had almost broke down last night, as well.

Lincoln: mm fine.

Lincoln instantly felt the rubbing adopt a slightly teasing feel.

Luna: Come on, bro. Don't be embarrassed. What happens in the belly, stays in the belly.

Lincoln: Yeah, yeah.

Luna kept on rubbing, finding his embarrassment adorable.

Luna: (soft) But the offer is still on , baby bro. I'm more then willing to be your safe place when you feel down. Just say the word.

Lincoln felt his cheeks grow warm…Luna really was a rockin' big sis.

Lincoln: Thanks Lu…

Luna: Hold that thought, bro. Lynn and Luan are doing a give me more coffee thing.

Lincoln heard the swallow and the rush of more of the over rated liquid splashing down behind him.

Luna: Ok, bro. Sorry about that, you were saying?

Lincoln: (shakes his head) Just…thanks for being here for me.

Luna: of course, bro.

That's how the rest of the morning went. Luna just sitting in the kitchen enjoying her coffee, and occasionally rubbing at the little dudes tucked away inside her. Luna had to confess…she'd miss them in there. Especially Linc.

Epilogue.

The rest of the week passed by faster than anyone could have imagined. Now Luna woke up needing the bathroom, how long has it been…a month since the three younger sibs were in there? Luna cast an eye down to the bottom bunk, seeing Luan sleeping soundly. Luna sighed, remembering how good it felt having them in her. The great protectiveness she had felt for them in there…She couldn't shake it, she missed them…and she wasn't the only one.

Luna headed to the bathroom, thinking about the one sibling she caught staring at her belly when no one else was looking. Her little bro… Lincoln…They had really bonded during his week in there…gotten even close then they already where. Every now and again, she'd just stroke her stomach, half expecting….ok hoping she'd wake up and find that they were still back at that time, and she'd feel him rubbing back at her.

Luna finished her business and as she exited, she gazed at her brothers room, noticing his door was ajar, she walked over to check on him, she'd been doing that a lot. Ever since he asked to stay as a permanent resident in her gut. She was worried. To her surprise, he wasn't there. Big sister mode was blaring it's alarm. Luna headed down stairs, and instantly breathed in relief, seeing him piled on the couch. Tv, on and muted. Luna walked over and leaned in.

Luna: Linc? Can't sleep bro?

Lincoln: (shakes his head)

Luna: Have a bad day?

Lincoln: (shrugs)

Luna: Ok, if I sit with you?

Lincoln: (nods)

Luna walked around and sat on the couch, beside him.

Luna: wanna tell me about it?

Lincoln: (shakes his head)

Luna frowned, how was she supposed to fulfill her big sister duties if he wouldn't let her?...Wait, she had something in mind that would definitely help.

Luna: (teasing) LLLLIiiiinnccc….

Lincoln's day hadn't actually been bad, he just woke up feeling down. He had waited for everyone to go to bed, before sneaking down to lay on the couch. It had been an hour since he did this, the TV was on, but he wasn't really watching, just thinking about his day. He'd felt off all day…empty and just that empty.

Voice: Linc…can't sleep, bro?

Lincoln looked up to see the form of his third oldest sister looking down on him. Lincoln shook his head.

Luna: Had a bad day?

Lincoln shrugged.

Luna: Ok, if I sit with you?

Lincoln nodded, maybe some alone time with his closet sister would break his slump. Luna walked over and sat with him.

Luna: Wanna tell me about it?

Lincoln shook his head, seeing a frown cross her face. He couldn't tell her what was wrong, cause he didn't know himself. He just felt…empty, no anger, sadness or nothing. He saw Luna turn back, with a teasing smile and felt curiosity flare up. What was she planning?

Luna: LLLLIIIIINNCCC…

Ok, teasing voice? now he was really curious, but his face, stayed the same.

Luna: (leans closer) It's ok if you don't want to tell me what's got you down right now…but as your big sis it's my duty to help you out of it…

Lincoln rolled his eyes, even he didn't know what would make him feel better.

Lincoln: Don't know how your gonna do that?

Luna: (smile widens) Would spending the night in your special safe place do the trick.

Suddenly as if nothing had ever bothered him, Lincoln shot up.

Lincoln: Really?

Luna: (grins) I made that offer , and just said it, didn't I? Head upstairs to my room, I'll get the stuff. Oh, and don't wake Luan.

Luna chuckled at how fast he hurried upstairs, though quietly. Luna turned off the tv and went up to Lisa's room. True to her word, Luna hadn't told their parents about the week Lisa caused, course Lisa had to pay up. Which she did, even perfected it so it didn't take two hours to shrink. Luna found it in the usually drawer, and tiptoed back to her room, seeing Linc already on her bunk.

Luna: Take it your ready , bro.

Lincoln excitedly nodded his head, as Luna handed him the stuff. Luna went back and shut the door, when she got back up she saw Linc had already drank it and was flopped over, and halfway done with the shrinking.

Luna: Hate to say it, but I gotta hand it to Lisa, she really perfected it.

Lincoln slowly awoke, feeling his surroundings had changed from the couch. Lincoln blurrily rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

Voice: (soft teasing) Sleepy, bro?

Lincoln looked up and felt a intense warm feeling at how Luna was now towering it him. Luna reached out and rubbed the top of the his tiny head gently, Lincoln smiled.

Luna: You wanna tell me what's bothering you now?

Lincoln stubbornly smiled and shook his head.

Luna rolled her eyes in an exaggerated manner of false exasperation.

Luna: You want me to hurry up so you can go to your safe place?

Lincoln eagerly nodded, unable to contain his excitement, and held up his arms. Luna chuckled.

Luna: Alright. Alright.

Luna reached out and carefully picked up her bro around his chest, feeling him shivering, but only with excitement. Good gravy, he was adorable.

Luna: (holding him to her eyes) Feet first or head?

Lincoln: Feet.

Luna: Still scared of going down head first, eh?

Luna opened her mouth and gently slide her baby bro inside. She couldn't help but feel her own heart start to race at the heavy little form on her tongue. Her tongue started to shift, slicking him up for the trip down. Lincoln squirmed even more, so much had changed in the space of a few minutes. Going from melancholy to happy and excited. Feeling he was ready, Luna tilted her head and swallowed, feeling him slide in up to his waist. Once more and the remembered feeling of her gullet stretching in order to accommodate him, and her other organs shifting to make way as he went down the hatch. Luna rubbed her throat, swallowing the excess saliva in her mouth, feeling the smooth lump in her throat, squirm as best he could in the tight tunnel of flesh. The squeezing as he slipped past her collar bone, and him finally plopping into her belly. Luna fooled with her pillow so she could sit up and talk to her bro. She found the ear piece was still what she left it under said pillow and knowing Lincoln definitely had probably already put his on. She fitted it around her ear and leaned back, stroking her belly. She grinned as she instantly felt Linc push and rub back. The tingling sensation. She really did miss that.

Luna: (softly) Feel better?

Lincoln: (excited) That's an understatement!

Luna: (chuckles) Now, you wanna tell me what got you down? I ain't gonna stop asking until you give in, bro?

Lincoln: Figured you say that? I don't know what's got me in a slump…My day wasn't terrible, I just felt empty all day, just that…empty.

Ok Luna thought, so he felt empty, but why? As she thought it over, she remembered how quick the offer of being in his special, safe place had brought him out, and how excited he was. Remembering how he confessed how much warm, secure, protected, he had felt. And just like that everything made sense.

Luna: Think I know, bro. (teasing prod) Linc…did you miss being in here?

Lincoln: (shifts guilty) Maybe.

Luna: (presses at him) Well, then why didn't you just ask? I told you Casa de Luna is open to her favorite sib whenever he needed?

Lincoln: Didn't want you to worry, more than likely.

Lincoln felt the familiar thudding of her patting her stomach.

Luna: (warm) Linc, you look like you did and hide your feelings, I'm gonna worry even more.

Lincoln snuggled up against the wall, pawing for more rubbing. Luna set to stroking him once more.

Luna: (in her head) Luan was right, he is a little rubbing hog.

Lincoln: I'm sorry I made you worry. I know you offered to be my safe place, but in truth I felt you didn't want me to need it so soon.

Luna prodded him.

Luna: Linc, I would've understood, and I'll tell you a secret…I missed having you in here too.

Lincoln: (surprised) Really?

Luna: (chuckles) Really, I felt a great reasonability when you little dudes were occupying my gut. You guys were counting on me to look after you, keep you safe and happy. Not bury you in food and all that.

Lincoln rubbed at her stomach wall.

Lincoln: And you did a great job, sis. Considering our room was your stomach..it really was five star accommodations and service.

Luna cheeks went warm at the compliments.

Luna: Thanks, bro. (prods him firmly) But don't you try to convince me to keep you in here permanently again, I told you I'd miss seeing your adorable face. And everyone would get suspicious.

Lincoln: Ok.

Luna: (smiles) But if you ever want to spend the night in your Big sis hotel, just say the word. I'll even roll out the red carpet for you.

Lincoln: (grateful) I was right, you really are a rockin' big sis.

Luna smiled and started rubbing at him again. Feeling him start to feel more relaxed, she even fancied she heard him yawn.

Luna: Aww, little bro getting sleepy , now that he's back.

Lincoln: Ok. Yeah, I guess I can sleep now I got back in.

Luna: Well then go to sleep, dude. And remember, your coming back out in the morning.

Lincoln: Ok, and Luna .. thanks again for looking out for me… both tonight and back then.

Luna felt her heart melt at his grateful words. After giving her stomach wall one more rub, she felt him snuggle into the soft pliable flesh and slowly drift off…

Luna leaned back and kept stroking at his sleeping form.

Luna: I always be here to look after you, baby bro…whenever you need me.

Fin.
