Alright, I am completely speechless, after posting the first chapter, the first few hours my phone was filled with people following and favouring the story. I'm honestly surprised that you people actually like the idea and I'm gonna honest, I wasn't expecting the immediate response straight away. Thanks for immediate support on the idea, let's get on with the chapter and I'll see you at the end.
The next day rolls around, with what happened last night and, in his room, Lincoln doesn't know what to even do today. All he can do his hope that the girls are done with the teasing and he can find a logical explanation for the whole card thing last night.
Sunday was chore day, and everyone was starting off the day (or more like being made to) with their chores. Although, everyone has it easy with their chores.
Lori does laundry.
Leni...removes hair from the drain the bathroom?
Luan, Lynn and Lucy do the dishes together.
Luna vacuums the house.
Lana takes care of the pet's...business.
And Lisa takes care of the bills...although it seems like that's a parent's chore.
Lola on the other hand does...something to do with a bed? I looked back on the Chore and Peace episode and I only saw Lola hold a sign with a bed.
Lincoln's chore is to take out the trash, which is always a pain for him to do. He could talk to his family about it and try and switch chore...but we all know what happened the last time he tried that.
The morning was typically normal for a Sunday. Lincoln got up and found he was the last one up, he got in line and just stood waiting for the line to move up and he can use the bathroom. So far, so good, no teasing or anything. With waiting for the bathroom for 30 minutes or so, Lincoln was now in the shower. He was in the middle of cleaning himself with the body wash, then after rising himself off, he was about to grab the shampoo for his hair. But after grabbing and picking it up, Lincoln felt that the bottle was empty.
"No, come on"
Lincoln tried to get some out of the bottle so he can at least wash his hair a bit. But after squeezing the bottle, air only came out.
"Why" He mumbled.
He set the bottle down and just kept his hair under the water just to at least have the water help a bit. Lincoln just stood under the shower head, enjoying the peaceful Sunday morning, Lincoln was still looking at the supposedly empty shampoo bottle. After staring for what felt like 5 minutes, Lincoln felt like he should try it again. He grabbed the bottle and it had weight to it.
All Lincoln could do is stand there in shock, he opened it and squeezed the bottle into his hand, and out came the shampoo. Lincoln didn't know what to do...or feel, he was surprised of course, but he didn't feel scared or weirded out by it. All he could do is wash his hair and continue with his shower.
5 more minutes later
Lincoln was now out the shower and, in his room, changing into his normal clothes. After changing, Lincoln went downstairs to get breakfast, he went into the kitchen and hot himself a bowl and cereal from the cupboard. As Lincoln sat at the table with a few of the girls, them being Lucy, Luan, Leni and Luna, who were all having cereal too, but different kinds. When Lincoln sat down, they didn't really mention about last night, which was good since Lincoln would be very annoyed if they even brought it up the slightest, but maybe that's' because they're actually nice to him at times.
As Lincoln was eating his cereal, the rest of the girls came downstairs all dressed and ready for the day. They all sat at the table, waiting for their breakfast from their dad, guess they were wanting a cooked breakfast. Lincoln didn't want to talk to anyone, since he was hoping they wouldn't try and turn the conversation around.
Lynn Sr then walked into the dining area wearing his robe, seeing half of his kids eating cereal, and the other half sitting there without anything to eat.
"Well, how about I get breakfast started for you five" He clapped his hands together and walked into the kitchen.
"Finally!" Lori said leaning back into her chair.
Luna gave them a weird look "Why didn't you guys get cereal?"
"Because having cooked breakfast on the weekend makes it feel more like a relaxing weekend" Lynn said shrugging.
Lynn Sr popped his head into the dining area "Don't think it's gonna be, because you all have chores to do today" He then went back to cooking his daughters' breakfast.
Hearing that made everyone groan, normally they would do their chores on Saturday's, but they begged their parents to do them tomorrow, unfortunately they forgot about that.
Their dad then came in with 5 plates of bacon and eggs, and he obviously had to make different kinds of eggs for the ones who wanted a cooked breakfast.
He set the first plate down for Lynn "For Lj, scrambled eggs"
Then Lisa "Fried for Einstein"
Then for the twins "Deviled for the two devils"
"And-" He had to use his hand for this one "Hard boiled for chatter box"
The girls laughed at their father's jokes for them, he then walked back into the kitchen to make him and Rita's breakfast as well.
They started to eat their served breakfast and talk together about what they all have planned for today. Lori, Leni, Luna and Lucy all planed on going to the mall together because they needed some new clothes since they found some clothes they never wore. Obviously, they planned on doing that after doing their chores, on the other hand.
Lynn planned on going to play baseball with her friends at the park.
Lola was going to practice for an upcoming pageant and Lana was gonna go train some of the pets to...use the bathroom. She managed to train geo, but the rest is gonna be a challenge.
"What about you guys?" Lori asked her other siblings.
Lisa spoke up "I need to work on another test for an experimental skin pigmentation ointment"
"You mean the skin thing you experimented on Leni?" Lincoln asked.
Leni was reminded of that moment "That thing that turned me into a smurf?"
"I believe it was a swallow shade of cerulean" Lisa corrected her.
"Lisa! If you try any more experiments on your brother or sisters, your grounded!" Lynn Sr said from the kitchen.
Lisa sighed after hearing that "Fine" She replied.
Lynn then looked across the table at her brother who was still munching on his cereal.
"Hey stincoln, you gonna go with them to the mall? Buy yourself cosplay outfit by a professional this time"
After she said that, everyone started to chuckle. Lincoln felt his anger start to rise, he looked at Lori who was still laughing, he saw that she was about to take a bite of her hardboiled egg.
Lincoln didn't realise what he was doing, but he had his eyes locked onto the egg, before feeling something like a light breeze against his eyes. He snapped out of whatever trance he was in; he shook his head and saw Lori then take a bite of her hardboiled egg.
"What the-" Lori didn't just take a bite of an egg...she took a bite of a raw egg.
She spat out the egg shells and raw egg, and then immediately got up from her chair and ran over to the sink to rinse her mouth out.
This made everyone laugh more, seeing their older sister take a bite of a raw egg.
"I was sure I boiled it right!" Lynn Sr said in complete confusion.
Lincoln was laughing too with his sisters, even though it felt weird about how he did it, he wasn't even 100% if that was HIM who did it.
Everyone finished their breakfast and cleared their dishes from the table and moving onto the chores. Lincoln got a trash bag and began collecting the houses trash. He started off with trash can in the bathroom, and for some reason it was so full it was taller than Lincoln. He started to fill the bag with the trash, Leni then walked in and then started picking out a couple strands of hair from the drain. Lincoln didn't care since Leni doesn't like getting her hands that filthy.
After loading up his trash bag with the bathrooms trash, Lincoln now had to clean out everyone's trash can in each of their rooms.
How fun.
Lincoln first went into Lori and Leni's room, he would normally need to ask for permission to enter, but since he had to go in to collect their trash, he had to. He took the trash can and was about to tip it over into the bag, until he thought of something.
"If I really can make things disappear and re-appear, what if I..." Lincoln then dumped the trash into the bag and held the bag in front of him. He stared at the bag and started to imagine the trash just vanishing.
Lincoln didn't feel the bag any lighter...he opened it, hoping to see it was empty and he wasn't just thinking he was incredibly weak from holding a half full bag. He saw that the trash was still in the bag, Lincoln started to think he was just losing it at this point.
This resulted in Lincoln to sigh of relief, knowing he might've not got enough sleep and he didn't really have some kind of powers. Lincoln started to drag the almost full trash bag to the next room, being Luna and Luan's room. He opened the door and saw the room obviously empty, he walked over to their trash can and saw it was a quarter full of trash.
He picked it up and dumped the trash out into the trash bag, Lincoln then moved onto the next room which was Lynn and Lucy's. Lincoln was about to open the door, before getting a feeling that someone might've been in the room. He pressed his head up to the door to try and listen for any movement, he heard nothing though. Instead of just walking in, he knocked on the door.
"Trash pickup!" He then opened the door.
Surprisingly, Lincoln wasn't wrong about anyone being in there. Lucy was in the middle of one of her "rituals" with the pets.
Lincoln was kind of surprised, he didn't trust himself that much about the feeling.
"How come you aren't doing the dishes?" He asked her.
"We already finished" Lucy said without moving from her position on the floor.
Lincoln then realised that since having three people do the dishes, it must've not taken more than 10 minutes.
"Well, I'll just get the trash and leave you alone" Lincoln then walked over to their trash can and emptied it.
Lincoln then felt that someone was walking up to him, he turned around and saw Lucy was sneaking up behind him.
"What are you doing?" Lucy was asked by Lincoln.
"I wanted to ask you something" She said. "Hang on? How come you knew I was coming up to you?" Lucy asked her brother confusedly, since no one can tell when she's gonna pop up out of nowhere.
Lincoln didn't even know how to answer that.
"I um, I don't know, I just knew" Lincoln replied normally. "So, what did you want to ask?"
Lucy then remembered "Oh, yeah, I was gonna ask if you're okay from how everyone teased you yesterday... and today"
"Uh, yeah I'm fine, I'm still a bit mad at them, but good to know you actually care" Lincoln was about to leave before Lucy stepped in front of him.
"What do you mean"
"What do I mean by what?" He was confused by his sisters' question.
"What do you mean by "good to know you actually care"?" She said.
This made Lincoln realise how she got confused. "I'm glad you care about how I'm feeling"
"Lincoln, of course I do, you're my big brother" Lucy said, smiling just a little...I'm not sure if it counts as a smile but its good enough. "I know that you liked the outfit at the time, and I also know that you don't like it when they tease you"
"Thanks Luce" Lincoln said smiling...much more than she did.
"No problem Lincoln, just hope the rest know that you don't like it" She said before sitting back down with the pets and the...circle in the middle with candles?
Lincoln left the room in a good feeling, the rest might not know how much he doesn't like it when they tease him, but at least 1 out of 10 knowing is better than 0 out of 10 knowing. Lincoln now moved to the Lola and Lana's room for trash pickup. He figured since the pets were with Lucy and Lola doesn't really do any chore's, they might've been in their room.
Lincoln knocked on the door a couple times, after hearing what sounded like Lola "Enter!" he rolled his eyes and walked in.
"Uh, ahem!" Lola was sitting at her little table, having a tea party with her stuffed animals.
Lincoln was confused from what she said "What?" He asked.
"Don't bring filthy trash in here! Its gonna stink up the room!" She demanded for Lincoln to take the trash out the room.
"Well, I either empty yours and Lana's trash can, or I leave it, your call" Lincoln pointed out to her.
Lola scoffed "Fine" Allowing Lincoln to collect the trash.
As Lincoln emptied the trash can into the now full bag, Lola was serving her stuffed animal's "pretend tea" and a small plate of looked like chocolate chip cookies.
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you guys" She started to whisper to them...very badly. "I found out that Lincoln found his old ace sa- thingy, I can't believe he found that stuff interesting" She then laughed, thinking Lincoln didn't hear her.
Lincoln started to get filled with anger again, this time he turned around and looked Lola straight in the eyes.
Lola saw this and was confused by it "What?" She asked, not curious way but more of a "ugh, what do you want" way.
That was all Lincoln needed to get more angrier, he started at Lola, not in a mad way but like a normal stare way. Lola was still confused by Lincolns staring as he didn't even answer her. He then eyed at the cookies on her plate, Lola then saw Lincoln wasn't staring at her anymore, but she wasn't gonna question why he was staring at her cookies.
Lola took a sip of her pretend tea and then took a bite of one of the cookies. But instead of tasting the chocolate chips, she had what tasted like cabbage.
Lola's look on her face looked like she took a bite of something raw. She spat out the cookie onto the plate and looked at the inside of the cookie, Lola had taken a bite of a cookie...that was filled with sauerkraut!
Lola then screamed "EWWWWW" then ran out the room and downstairs. "Luan!"
Lincoln started to laugh from what just happened. But then his laughter faded away as his mind started to go haywire.
He felt his heart race at this point "Wait, if I did that, then what if I am-" Lincoln cut himself off, he realised what he was about to say, and it sounded ridiculous the more he thought about it "Magic?"
The whole time, Lincoln thought that it was just weird coincidences from what was happening. This made Lincoln feel uncomfortable at this point,
Then he thought a bit more "What if that was Luan?" This made Lincoln relax a bit now "Yeah, maybe Luan pranked Lola with the sauerkraut cookies" Thinking that made Lincoln chill out more, he still wasn't sure but at least thinking that is makes more sense than "magic".
"I'll just...get through today and figure that out later" Lincoln said to himself to try and calm himself down.
He started continuing his chore, putting the whole "magic" stuff behind in his mind, and he'll try and sort this out later.
15 minutes later
Lincoln now took care of his chore, and so did everyone else. Lincoln now had the rest of the day to himself, if his sisters don't need his help with anything.
He was now chilling in his room, reading a comic in his underwear...I have no idea why he finds that comfortable but I'm not gonna judge. As Lincoln was in the middle of reading, he heard a knock at his door.
Instead of him saying "come in" the door opened before he opened his mouth. It was Rita and Lynn Sr.
"Lincoln?"
"Yeah?" He closed his comic and sat up right.
"Do you know anything about the cookies filled with the cabbage, stuff?" Rita wasn't sure what it was again.
Both Lincoln and his dad replied "Sauerkraut"
"Yeah, that" She said "Anyway, do you know anything about Lola's cookies filled with that stuff?" Rita asked her son.
"Uhm, I saw Lola taking a bite of the cookie, but I'm not sure about the sauerkraut inside" Lincoln answered as he wasn't entirely sure about it.
"Well we asked Luan if she had anything to do it" Rita said.
"Unfortunately, she said she didn't but it would be a good idea one day" Lynn Sr warned his son.
"So, guess we have to check our food from now on" Rita let her son and husband know.
The comment made the father and son laugh "So, you sure you don't know anything son?" Lynn Sr asked his son again to make sure.
"No, sorry, I just saw Lola take a bite and spit it out" Lincoln said.
"Okay, enjoy your comic Lincoln" The two parents then left Lincolns room.
As Lincoln was left alone in his room, he started to process what the heck has been going on lately? Yesterday with the cards, today with the shampoo, Lori's hard boiled egg AND the thing with the cookies. But what made Lincoln really confused about it...was how he was able to do it when he was only angry.
"Maybe it happens when my anger is triggered?" Lincoln thought.
This made Lincoln want to try and trigger his power, by not getting angry to trigger it. "Might take a while" He said to himself.
Alright my fellow readers, that's the end of chapter 2! I'd like to point out that I didn't realise how much I made the story relate to Matilda. I basically made Lincoln use his new found powers against his family whenever he was angered by them. Needless to say, for the first 2 chapters, its going well so far! Other than that, if you are wanting to submit chapter ideas or one-shot idea's, please message me on here on through my discord tag *-𝕊𝕟𝕠𝕨-*#9422 But with that being said, I hope you all are staying safe and doing well, please stay tuned for more chapters like this and I will see you in the next one, peace.
