Thursday, royal woods, the loud house, 8AM
The loud house family woke up feeling ready for the day! Lincoln woke up, but once he sat up, he felt like his head was being stabbed multiple times, he swung his legs out the side of his bed before feeling like he was about to throw his guts up. He held his stomach tightly trying not to let it out, just then his sister Lori opened the door.
"Lincoln, get up already-" she stopped after realising Lincoln looked like he was about to die.
"you feeling alright?" she asked him as she walked up to him and felt his forehead.
"yeah?" he said slowly.
"Lincoln, you're literally burning up" she said then took her phone out and started to call someone.
"who you cal- *cough cough*" he said with a scratchy voice.
"mom" she said.
Rita then picked up the phone.
"hi Lori, everything okay?" she asked her.
"not really, Lincoln looks like he's about to die of the flu" she said with her hand still on Lincolns head.
"Luan, get me the thermometer" she called out to her 3rd youngest sibling.
"is he burning up?" she asked her.
"yes" she replied.
"does he look pale?" she asked her again.
"yes" she replied.
Rita then sighed on the other end "okay, I'll phone him in sick" she then hung up the phone.
"alright bro, get some rest, you're not leaving that bed for the entire day" she said after walking out to get herself ready for school.
Luan then came into Lincolns room with the thermometer.
"open Lincoln" she said.
Lincoln opened his mouth allowing Luan to put it in (Get it?)
Luan left it in there for a minute then took it out and looked at it. Lori then came in to check on Lincoln.
"38.0 C" Luan said to Lori.
"well Lincoln, you have a fever" she said to him, but he didn't seem to be mind.
"stay in bed" she said to him "I'll try and see if mom or dad can get home from work early"
"okay" he said trying to clear his throat as he got himself back into bed.
Lori then walked out but before Luan left, he quickly said "you didn't give me a rectal thermometer, did you?" he chuckled but coughed again.
"no" she laughed "but that's a good idea, I might use thay for tomorrow" she said after leaving with a grin.
"tomorrow?" he thought "what's on Friday?"
Lincoln looked at his calendar, Friday is April 1st
"aw fuck" he said.
Lincoln then felt sleepy, his eyes were becoming heavy and he felt very comfy, he then fell asleep.
1 hour of sleeping
Lincoln was dreaming about himself holding a special fountain pen, it had a silver like cage around the pen and blue on the inside of, (just to let you all know, this pen is not something I came up with, if you want to see it, type in "ZCH most expensive pen" onto YouTube and have a look) he started drawing mythical creatures, he drew a dragon, pegasus and a werewolf. After drawing them, they suddenly came to life. He was in the middle of drawing a phoenix until waking up. He clenched his hand to see if he still had the pen, but he didn't. Lincoln sat up with his head still sore, he got up and went out of his room and downstairs to get a glass of water. He came up to the counter and saw that a note was left for him, along with a glass of water and a couple of pills. Lincoln picked up the letter and read it.
"hey bro, heard you weren't feeling well so I left you out water and pills to help, see ya when we get in dude" signed by Luna.
Lincoln put the paper down and took the pills and water, he threw them in his mouth and took a gulp of water. He took the glass back upstairs with him and back into his room, he sat on his bed with his journal and continued to draw the creatures he saw in his dream.
30 minutes later
Lincoln finished drawing the dragon and werewolf, he was about to move on to the pegasus, before stopping and thinking about the pen he used. Lincoln closed his journal and grabbed his laptop; he went on to search for fountain pens. After searching for a while, he came across a pen that resembled the one he saw. It wasn't exactly the same, but it did have some differences other than the colours. Lincolns eyes went wide when he saw the price, it cost up to $100! He still wanted it; he placed the order for today, and went up to the attic to grab the money, the then went to his room to finish his drawing.
25 minutes later
After finishing his drawing, he heard the doorbell ring. Lincoln got off his bed and ran downstairs and opened the door to see a drone in front of him, it had his package inside it so he took it and put the ten fifties inside it. Lincoln shut the door and went up to his room, he closed the door and opened his package. Lincoln took out a very shiny pen that's worth up to $100, no doubt he'd tell his family about it. Lincoln grabbed his journal and started to draw more creatures and animals into it, he found it easy to draw with a pen rather than a pencil, normally with a pencil if you make a mistake you can easily rub it out, but with a pen it's not as easy as that, but for Lincoln he didn't make a single mistake while using it. Lincoln was drawing a sea serpent, he used his new pen to draw the outlines of it and some skin patters for it, he later used his pencil as well to shade the serpent and the background for it. Before Lincoln finished drawing, he remembered the drawing he drew last night, in regards to his art teacher. Lincoln flipped back a few pages to the drawing and was looking at the drawing, he then got an idea for the weekend. In the meantime, Lincoln went back to his drawing, Lincoln was however, starting to feel better, his head wasn't as sore anymore and his throat was less scratchy too.
A few hours later
Lincoln was downstairs in the living room with a blanket and writing in his journal again, he was drawing his family, even though after what's been happening lately with him getting mad at them, he still loved them all very much. Lincoln was drawing himself in the middle with all of his sisters around him, he drew Lynn kicking a soccer ball, Lucy reading a book about vampires, Lola and Lana fighting, Luna playing her guitar, Luan wearing a Groucho Marx nose and glasses. He drew in Lori texting on her phone alongside with Leni combing her hair, he added Lisa holding a beaker that's about to explode and he finally added Lilly at the side with no diaper on, of course not adding too much detail to that part. Lincoln finished it off by writing at the bottom of the paper "Art is what makes me happy, but my family is my art"
Lincoln felt happy about his drawing, he wondered if he should show his family it. But that would be a risk depending if they like it or not. Lincoln couldn't help but have mix emotions for how he felt about his family, he hated them for how they laughed at him, but deep down he still loved them. What was it that made him feel this way? Lincoln closed his journal and decided to take a break and watch some tv.
2 hours later
Lincoln was in the middle of watching a random show he came across, that's when the door opened and he was greeted by his sisters coming back from school.
"hey Lincoln" they all said.
"hey guys" he replied.
"how you feeling bro?" Luna asked him as she sat down beside him.
"pretty good actually, those pills you gave me really helped" he said.
"actually bro, Lisa gave me them and told me to give you them" she said.
Lincoln looked at Lisa who was smiling.
"those pills were something I prepared before leaving for school" she said.
"but I felt better in like a few minutes, I could've gone to school because of those pills" he said as he sat up.
"yeah, but I wasn't sure how long they would take to work, so you know" she said as she walked upstairs to her room.
"Sibling meeting later by the way" Lori said as she sat down in the armchair texting on her phone.
Lincoln saw that only 9 of his sisters were home, he noticed that Luan wasn't here.
"where's Luan?" he asked her.
"oh, she went to a friend's house, she asked Lori to drop her off" Luna said while she was flicking through some channels.
"you do know its April fool's day tomorrow? Right?" he asked them.
"we know, that's what the meeting is about" Lori said without looking up from her phone.
"oh" he said.
Lincoln sat watching tv with his siblings, he kept his pen and journal under his blanket, maybe one day he might draw around them when he feels comfortable.
4 hours later
Everyone has had dinner and were now in Lori and Leni's room for the sibling meeting.
"alright everyone" Lori said getting everyone's attention.
"now, as most of you know, tomorrow Is April fool's day" she said.
Everyone groaned.
"silence!" she said as she banged her heel on the dresser.
"I know, I hate it as much as you all do, tomorrow we all can come home, so everyone will have to go into hiding until midnight, I've talked to mom and dad and they said that's okay, as long as we tell them where so they know" she said.
Everyone was now talking to each other about how that's a good idea.
"so! everyone now has to think about where you'll be, starting with myself" she said "I will be at bobby's, since were having our anniversary" she giggled.
"8 weeks isn't really an anniversary to mark" Lincoln spoke up.
"zip it twerp" she said to him.
"Leni, where will you be?" Lori said to her.
"well I like picked up a late shift since it's the weekday tomorrow" she said.
"weekend" Lori corrected her.
"oh! Yeah weekend!" she said back.
"whatever, Luna?" Lori turned to Luna who was sitting on Leni's bed with her guitar.
"I'm going to a friend's house so we can work on a new song" she said.
"good, Lynn?" Lori turned to Lynn who was bouncing a basketball.
"just gonna go to the basketball court, hang there" she said.
"alright, Lincoln?" she turned to Lincoln.
"I don't know, might just go to one of my friend's house" he said.
"good, Lucy?" she said.
"I'm going to the graveyard with a friend for a burial" she said darkly then turned her attention to her poem book.
"o-kay?" she said "Lola? Lana?" she asked the twins.
"well I have to attend a beauty pageant, then I'm going to sleepover at one of the girl's houses" she said.
"I'm going dumpster diving" lana said.
"eww!" everyone said.
"what? Free food and free stuff, what's so bad about that?" she said.
"eh, Lisa?" she asked her.
"I have my bunker, and mother, father and youngest sibling are going to be in there with me too" she said as she was writing something on a clipboard.
"wait! How come we can't get in too?" Lori asked her.
"none of you asked" she said.
"fair point" everyone said.
"okay, I hereby call this sibling meeting over" she as she banged her shoe on the dresser, allowing everyone to leave to their own rooms.
Lincoln was in his room, but he wasn't getting ready for bed, instead he waited for everyone to be asleep.
1 hour later
Lincoln got up from his bed and opened his door to check if everyone was sleeping, and judging by the sounds of them snoring, including Lynn's loud elephant snore, that would be a yes. He grabbed a hoodie and put it, and walked out his room and downstairs, he walked outside and into the garage with his backpack, he loaded his bag with the cans he had stashed and was now on his way to his school.
Royal woods elementary
Lincoln arrived at his school, he walked over to the car park, there were some car park spots that were reserved for some teachers, his art teacher being one of them. He walked over to it with his hood up just in case there were any cameras nearby, he took out a can and his journal, turned it over to a specific page and started to spray.
1 hour later
Lincoln sprayed the entire spot for his teacher, he painted his teacher as a zombie, he sprayed red paint on certain parts of her face to resemble blood, Lincoln was now finished, he put the can back in his bag, but before he could zip it up, he saw a shadow beside him.
"so, you're the one who's been doing all this?"
Lincoln his head to the side and saw a girl in a light blue hoodie with a light blue jacket over it, she wore what seemed to be purple jeans and dark purple boots, her hair seemed to be blonde but with a thick part of her hair dyed a cyan colour.
"and you are?" he asked her as he stood up.
She was taller than Lincoln.
She pulled the hood back to show her face.
"the names Sam" she said holding her hand out.
Lincoln shook her hand.
"Lincoln" he said.
"cool name, Abraham" she said laughing.
"very funny" he said "can I ask what you're doing here?" he asked her.
"well, I don't know if you realised, but this isn't really the best place to do this sort of thing" she said to him.
"no one's around, and I'm doing no harm" he said.
"how long you been doing this for?" she asked him.
"about a week now" he said.
"got to say, your pretty good for a first timer" she said as she was impressed at his recent work.
"how would you know?" he asked her.
"well, I love music, but I also love art, and I actually this sort of thing, but not in areas where people can see them" she said.
"you do this kind of thing in like alleys?" he said.
"yeah, I haven't been able work on something else lately, my recent one is in an alley in town" she said.
"what did you do?" he asked her wondering what she painted.
"it was just a 3D thing, I painted "family sucks" because my mom took away my guitar" she said laughing.
"huh, I think I saw someone do the same thing in the- ohhh" he said now realising it was her he saw in the alley.
"what?" she said confused.
"I saw you paint that" he said.
"when?" she said.
"Friday" he replied.
"oh damn" she said.
"yeah" he said.
"hey uh, want to help me work on something?" she said to him.
"like?" he asked.
"come with me" she said.
"okay?" he said in confusion.
Lincoln followed her, they walked through a calm neighbourhood and walked by a few houses until stopping at one, she walked up to it and pulled out a key and unlocked it.
"why are we at your house?" he asked her.
"because this is where were gonna work on it" she said.
Lincoln followed her inside, the house was really nice, it was kind of layed out like Lincolns, except it just had a ground floor, Lincoln followed her out into the backyard.
"alright, I'll be back" she said after going back inside.
Lincoln saw a couple of chairs and sat on one of them, he waited a few minutes before Sam came out with the body of an axe guitar.
"so, what are we doing?" he asked her.
She set the guitar down on the concrete floor.
"well, it's a present for someone" she said.
"boyfriend?" he asked.
"no" she said "girlfriend"
"oh, that's nice of you" he said to her.
"thanks" she said "she has one of her own, but I want to give her one that I made"
"so, you need my help?" he said.
"it's not like I need it, it's more like I could use some help on improving my original idea" she said after going back inside.
Lincoln stood up and took his bag off and pulled out his journal, he started flipping a few pages, he found a drawing he made, it was a skull with blue flames in the eyes, he also drew it wearing headphones.
"alright, got my cans" she said after coming out and setting them down next to the guitar.
"maybe you can use this" he said holding his journal out to her.
She took it and looked, her eyes went wide "whoa little dude, this is amazing!" she said.
"thanks" he said.
"I bet she'll love this" she said smiling.
"alright, well let's get to work" he said standing up and picking up a can.
"hell yeah" she said while she picked up one too.
"by the way, here" she said giving him a surgical mask.
"just so you don't breathe in the fumes" she said after putting it on.
"thanks again" he said, he then put his on too.
They then went to work on the body of the guitar, for some reason the axe looks kind of similar to Luna's.
