Monday morning, 6AM, the loud house
Lincoln opened his eyes to be greeted by a new day, Monday's aren't the best, but for Lincoln it was like waking up on Christmas morning. He got out of bed and opened his door to be greeted with no line to the bathroom.
"huh, what time is it?" Lincoln asked himself as he looked at the clock in his room "well how convenient" he chuckled as he made his way to the bathroom.
One washup later
After brushing his teeth and combing his hair finally, Lincoln finished up and walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist back to his room.
"you're sure up early twerp" Lori said as she walked in the bathroom.
"indeed, I am" Lincoln said as he walked by all his sisters looking like zombies after waking up.
Lincoln walked into his room and changed into his normal clothes and got his things ready for school.
"bag, check, homework done, check" Lincoln said as he was double checking, he had everything for school ready.
"pencils, check, pens check, art project, che- ohhh" Lincoln paused after realising he didn't have his art project done.
"s**t" he said to himself.
Lincoln shoved everything in his bag and walked out his room and downstairs. Lincoln sat by door, trying to think of an excuse on why he doesn't have his project done.
"maybe the teacher will let me do it in class?" he thought of.
That idea made him calm down a bit, but he still had to think of something that meant a lot to him. Lincoln had about an hour and a half to think of something.
An hour and a half later
"alright everyone! Time to go!" Lori said as she walked out to get the car started.
"wait? Was that an hour passed already?" Lincoln looked at his watch and saw it was.
"s**t" he said to himself.
He pulled himself to his feet and walked out to the car and sat behind Lori.
"alright, got everything you need twerp?" Lori asked Lincoln, but he didn't respond.
"Lincoln?" she tried getting his attention.
"huh? Oh yeah, I have everything" he answered her.
"ok then" she said while she paid her attention to her phone while waiting for everyone to get in the car.
A while later, everyone got in and drove off to school, meanwhile Lincoln was still trying to think of what to do for his art class. But after no such luck with coming up with an idea, he's just gonna have to take an F.
They arrive at school and Lincoln heads into the first class he had, which is sadly art. He sat at his table and was ready for what he was in for.
"alright class" the teacher got everyone's attention. "now, I know I said I wanted you all to hand in your art projects this Monday" she reminded everyone "however, due to the amount of work I already have to grade, I'm allowing you all to hand it in at the end of the week, so if you haven't finished or want to improve it more, I highly recommend taking this time to do that" she said sitting at her desk getting everyone the work for today.
Lincoln felt all the tension in his body leave him, it was a great feeling. Alright, so Lincoln had 4 days to get his project done, that's if he gets an idea for what to do.
20 minutes later
Lincoln was sitting in class drawing a self-portrait as part of his work, after finishing the details on the hair, the principal comes on the speaker.
"attention students and teachers" the principal said getting everyone to stop what they were doing. "I'm sorry to inform you this, but the school's football field has been vandalised"
This caused everyone to run to the window to see the football field, (forgot to mention, they have a good view of it) "so there will be no game this week until it is cleaned up" the principal finished.
"who would do this to the field too?" one of the students asked everyone.
"everyone! Please go back to your seats" the teacher said as she was doing something on her computer.
Lincoln went back to his seat and continued his drawing, with a small smile across his face.
A painful school day later
Lincoln was walking back home with Clyde, some kids poked fun of at his hair, but Lincoln brushed it off his shoulders.
"so, Lincoln, how's it been going with, uhm, your new umm, you know?" Clyde said.
"yeah Clyde" Lincoln chuckled "i know what you mean" he said.
"well? How's it been?" he asked him again.
"to be honest? I'm kind of liking it" he admitted.
"really?" Clyde said.
Lincoln wasn't ashamed of it as much as he was before, he's began to get used to it.
"yeah, I mean it's taken a while to get used to, it does make a cool part to a self-portrait" he said.
"well I'm glad that it doesn't bother you as much" Clyde said patting him on his back.
"ok Lincoln, I'll see you tomorrow" Clyde said as he walked down the path to his house.
"bye Clyde" Lincoln said as he walked home.
Lincoln walked back home, but once he got closer, he saw Lynn in the garage with her boxing gloves on and punching a punching bag that was hung up. She seemed mad, Lincoln walked up to her, might've been a big mistake but he wasn't that scared of her anymore for some reason.
"Lynn?" he asked her.
"what do you want" she said while she still punched the bag.
"are you ok?" he asked her.
"no!" she said then threw another punch at the punching bag, but when she punched it, it swung far.
"is that all you came her to ask me stincoln?" she said turning her attention to Lincoln.
"uh-" Lincoln paused after seeing the punching bag start to swing back to Lynn. He grinned to this sight.
"nope" he said as he stepped back from her.
"that's what I thou-" she was cut off by getting hit with the punching bag, sending her flying back into old boxes.
"next time, try saying my name properly and I'll let you know when you're going to get hit like that again" he said as he walked back and into the house.
Lynn growled and started punching even harder.
"I'm home" Lincoln said as he dropped his bag by the door.
"hi son" Lynn Sr said as he was in the kitchen cooking dinner.
Lincoln then sat on the couch and started flicking through channels trying to find something to watch. But Lincoln then remembered he had to buy some new paint, he turned the tv off and ran upstairs to his room. He opened his laptop and bought the paint.
"$60" he said as he noticed the price. "that means I still have over $400 left" he said smiling.
Then he suddenly remembered. He closed his laptop and pulled out a $10 bill from the shoe box and he went downstairs and sat back on the couch.
He shoved the bill down the couch, then acted like nothing ever happened. Lincoln then turned on a recorded episode of dream boat, the girls favourite show.
"hey guys, dream boat is on" Lincoln said after he went and sat on the armchair.
They all came rushing to the couch, even Lynn, then once they sat down, the $10 flew out of the couch and onto the floor. They all went silent.
"MONEY!" Lola screamed as everyone dove in for it.
Lynn Sr noticing this, came in wearing his apron and groaned.
"EVERYONE, ATTIC, NOW!" he yelled as he pointed upstairs.
"aww" they all said as he listened and went upstairs.
"was it about money again?" Lynn Sr asked Lincoln.
"oh yeah" he laughed.
"wish they already found the letter by now" Lynn Sr muttered.
"what was that dad?" Lincoln said, acting like he didn't hear him.
"oh! Nothing son" he said as he went back into the kitchen.
Lincoln let out a little laughter.
He then headed upstairs to be greeted with his sisters going up into the attic.
"hope you all have fun" Lincoln said as he started to walk to his room.
He was then stopped by Luna and Luan.
"oh no you don't, if we have to suffer, then so do you" Luna said as she pushed him to the ladder.
"really?" he said.
"YES!" they all said.
"alright, fine" he then started climbing.
A few minutes later
After everyone started cleaning the attic again, Lincoln headed to the loose floorboard, then stepped on it.
He went silent for a moment "hey guys! Look at this" Lincoln called for his sisters.
They all came to where he was and pulled out the envelope.
"let me see that" Lori said as she took the envelope and opened it.
Everyone looked over her shoulder and started reading. They all looked at each other and looked back at Lincoln.
"what does it say?" he asked them.
"uhhh" they all went.
"nothing" Lori hid it behind her back and smiled while everyone else did, they all backed up and rushed down the ladder.
"oh, this is just too easy" he thought to himself as he followed them, but before going down the ladder he noticed them all running back and forth.
"maybe I'll just hang here for a while" he said as he sat down on a stool.
10 minutes later
After everything seemed calm, Lincoln went down, he then saw Lisa walking around with a metal detector.
"Lisa?" he said "what are you doing?"
"uhh, just calibrating my dumb human detector" she said then she held the metal detector up to his face, then it beeped.
"calibrated" she said.
Lincoln gave her a deadpan look, she backed up slowly then ran off. He then saw Lynn looking to be holding something down the laundry shoot. He walked up to her.
"Lucy, see anything?" she whispered.
"Lynn!" he said, this caused Lynn to drop Lucy as she started to yell as she fell then hit the bottom causing a thud.
"what are you doing?" Lincoln asked her.
"who? Me? No, no, just putting laundry down the shoot" she said giving him an "innocent" smile.
Lincoln raised his eyebrow at her "laundry doesn't scream and go thud" he pointed out.
She then went mad "no but nosy brothers do!" she said clenching her fists.
"ok, whatever" he said walking off.
Lynn then opened the shoot. "sorry luce" she said to her.
"that's okay, I found a new secret dark place" Lucy said.
Lincoln then walked downstairs and saw Lola by the fireplace pacing back and forth.
"looking for something Lola?" he asked her.
"uh no!" she said. "just practicing for the...the uh" she then saw the brush for the fireplace and grabbed it "the little miss chimney sweep pageant" she then threw it over her head to the other, then gave Lincoln an innocent smile.
"good luck then" he walked off.
Lana then popped her head out with her face covered in charcoal. "there's nothing up there" she said.
"well there's gotta be!" Lola said angry "now keep looking!" she said pushing Lana back up with the brush.
Lincoln walked near the back door.
"hand me the flashlight" Luan said.
"is that coming from the basement?" Lincoln thought and went down.
Luna and Luan were searching the basement, Luan was looking inside the furnace with her body almost entirely inside.
Luna notices someone coming down the stairs.
"quick! Hide!" she said then pushed Luan in and the flashlight she had. She then stood beside it whistling.
"what are you up to?" Lincoln asked her, even though he knew.
"just, um" she then grabbed a hammer and spanner "practising my drums!" she then started banging on the furnace really loudly, this making Lincoln walk back upstairs.
Luna stopped and Luan opened the door.
"can someone answer the ringing in my head" she said then fell back.
Lincoln then went outside in the front garden, he looked at the patch that he buried the case back in.
"wonder how long this will take" he said as he sat on the porch.
He then heard Lori and Leni's voice coming from underneath him.
"gross! What is that!" Lori said.
"get off my pumps!" Leni said to her.
"I'm gonna pump your face if you don't move faster" Lori said back.
Leni was in front of Lori while holding a flashlight.
"let's just get this over with" Leni said as she crawled more.
"ugh, why didn't Mrs. DeMonet just tell us where the money is?" Lori said in frustration.
"I don't know, let's ask her" Leni said as she pointed the flashlight at a skeleton.
They both scream.
"wait, that's just a leftover Halloween decoration" Lori pointed out.
The skeleton did have a Halloween banner behind it.
Lincoln got up and went over to the side of the porch and opened the small door to underneath it.
"hey! What are you two doing?" he asked them.
"uh, were just dusting" Lori said as she grabbed Leni's arm and started dusting the skeleton.
"wait, I thought we were looking for the money?" Leni said.
"what money?" Lincoln asked her.
Lori then covered her mouth with her hand.
"nothing, go away" she said smiling.
"okay?" Lincoln said then shut the door.
Lori then took her hand away from Leni's mouth.
"so, we are just dusting?" Leni asked her.
Lori groaned.
Lincoln then went inside and up to the attic.
"this should help things go faster" he said after taking the envelope down and going down the ladder into the hall.
"hey guys, I found another envelope" he said then started to slowly open it.
Everyone suddenly came rushing up to him and snatching it from his hands. Lori tore it open and began to read with everyone looking too.
They all then ran out in different directions to find the money.
"still not figuring out the clues?" he thought to himself.
Lincoln then walked over to Lilly's crib; she was sound asleep. Lincoln picked her up with the envelope visible in the butt, he then walked out of the room and downstairs. Everyone was still looking for it, but then they noticed the envelope.
They all dashed at Lincoln then snatched the envelope and opened it, this time Luan reading it with everyone around her, apart from Lincoln who was sitting on the couch with Lilly.
"A MAP!" they all said.
"a map to what?" Lincoln asked.
They all turned around facing him "nothing" Lynn said, everyone then started backing up outside.
He then heard them all digging around the front yard.
10 minutes later
Lincoln then went upstairs and put Lilly in her crib and went back downstairs and outside, they all were digging in different spots and just in time, saw Lana dig with her bare hands in the spot he found the case in.
"annnd-" he timed it perfectly when lane pulled the case out.
"I FOUND IT!" she yelled and everyone came over to her.
"nice its unlocked" Luna said.
Lana then opened the case, but to only be greeted with nothing inside.
"what the dammit!?" they all yelled in anger.
Lincoln then walked up to them and looked over their shoulders.
"alright, what have you guys been doing?" he asked them.
"well we thought someone hid money for us, but that's clearly not the case!" Lisa said angry.
Lynn Sr then came out to see them with the case.
"what you got their kids?" he asked them trying not to smile.
"an empty case" they all said.
"well I hope you spend it- wait what?" he said confused.
Lana then turned the case to show him.
His jaw dropped from what he saw.
"something wrong dad?" Lincoln asked him.
"uhhh, no, nothing's wrong sport" he said while trying to figure out what happened to the money "just look at this backyard! It's a mess!" he said from looking around the yard.
"sorry daddy" all the girls said apart from Lincoln.
"just get inside please" he said to them while rubbing his temples.
Once everyone was inside, he double checked, and-
"F**K!"
Well that's it for this chapter, hope you all enjoyed it, before I end it here, I just want to answer a couple questions left by Engineer1869 on chapter 3. First off, Lincoln targeted the rest of his sisters for not the reason Lisa's experiment went wrong, they were targeted because of the way they laughed at him, and it's part of the change in Lincoln, can't say more because that will spoil the rest of future chapters and I left out Lincoln targeting his parents in that chapter because as you just read this chapter, you can see I haven't really left them out yet, stick with this story if you want to see what happens with Rita. But anyway, everyone that's it for this chapter, and as always, if you want to ask any questions, submit ideas or discuss future chapters then here's my discord tag (-_ππππ½πΎπΈπΆπ ππΎππ_-#8660) I'll see you all in the next chapter!
