Oh, wow another chapter! When will it ever end?! Haha, hello and welcome to chapter 9, before you start reading, I want you to read this first. I decided to miss out Rita, I know that I said I won't be forgetting her, but it's sort of hard for me to think of something for Lincoln to use against her, on a count of me already focusing on other parts for this story, so apart from that being said, lets jump right into the chapter!
Friday, royal woods, Sam Sharps house, 5AM
Lincoln fell asleep in sams house after working on the guitar longer than he thought, Sam walked into the living room brushing her hair, she just got done in the shower. She saw Lincoln laying on the couch sleeping, she went into the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee and made Lincoln one too, even though she didn't know if he liked coffee, it's still nice to at least offer him something. Sam then walked over to the couch and put Lincolns coffee down on the coffee table and sat on one of the armchairs.
Lincoln was having a dream about using the pen he did last time, he was drawing not only creatures this time, but an entire city filled with them! Lincoln was about to draw in a skyscraper, but he was then wakened up by Sam, he opened his eyes and saw her standing over him.
"you good dude?" she asked him.
"uh, yeah" he said as he stretched and yawned.
"well you were mumbling something in your sleep" she said as she went and sat back down.
"oh, yeah I tend to do that" he said then sat up.
"made you some coffee, that is if you drink it" she said as she took a sip of hers.
"thanks" he said as he turned and took the cup.
"never got to say this when I arrived, but are your parents here?" he asked her as he took a sip.
"nah, my mom and dad are on some business trip together or something" she said.
"good to know your parents trust you to be here by yourself, letting an 11-year-old you don't know into your house" Lincoln chuckled.
"hey I wanted someone else's help on the guitar, couldn't tell my friends, they can't keep secrets that very well" she said.
She then grabbed the remote for the tv and turned the news on. Lincoln pulled his phone out (forgot to say, I gave him a phone in this story, i cant remember if he has one or not) Lincoln saw he got a missed phone call from his mom, he phoned her back and she picked up very quickly.
"Lincoln Loud! Where are you young man!" she yelled at him.
Sam started the laugh a bit since it was loud enough for her to hear her.
"sorry mom, I went over to Clyde's to work on a project, fell asleep, I'm sorry" he said sounding tired.
"well, you should've told me, when you get home from school, your grounded!" she yelled at him again.
"mom, its April 1st today, we can't come home until tomorrow so Luan doesn't prank us" he said.
Rita went silent on the other end.
"well tomorrow your grounded" she said.
"alright, love you" he said to her.
"love you too, stay safe" she said then hung up.
"I'm guessing your grounded when you get back" she said letting out her laughter.
"tomorrow, can't go home because my sisters is the prankster of the family, April fool's day is like Christmas for her" he said taking another sip of his coffee.
"oh yeah, my girlfriend has a sister who's the same, she's actually coming over today so she doesn't have to go home to get pranked" she said.
"lucky for her, I have to find a place to hang for tonight till the day is over" he said as he put his mug down on the table.
"why don't you just hang here with me and my bandmates" she offered.
"that cool?" he said.
"yeah, you helped me with my gift to my girlfriend, so think of it as a payment" she said.
"you never were going to pay me, were you?" he laughed.
"shut up" she laughed along "well I'm going to get dressed" she said standing up and going into her room.
Lincoln grabbed his bag and took out his journal and pen, he began to draw the city he saw in his dream. It started to look like New York city, but more futuristic. Lincoln then drew in the creatures he saw in his dreams around the city. A little while later, Sam walked in with the same clothes she wore when he saw her, minus the hoodie.
"what ya drawing?" she said as she sat down next to him.
"it's just something I saw in my dream" he said while drawing a dragon flying over the city.
Sam looked over and was amazed.
"bro, I was gone for like 5 minutes, how did you draw all that fast?" she said.
"really? 5 minutes?" he said as he looked at his watch.
"that's amazing" she said as she was looking at the detail and the creatures he drew.
"guess you have more talent than just spray painting" she said.
"i guess" he said before finishing the tail for the dragon.
"and...that's...that...done!" he said as he finished the final part for the dragon.
Lincoln looked at everything he drew within 5 minutes, even though he didn't notice or intended on it.
"alright, want to go check on the guitar outside?" Sam asked him.
"oh yea, the guitar" he said putting his journal and pen in his bag.
Lincoln followed same outside into the backyard, he saw the guitar on the floor, he could see the floor now ruined with the paint.
"don't worry about that, ill wash that away later" she said after picking up the now dried guitar.
The guitars main colour was purple, it had the skull Lincoln showed Sam on the bottom right with blue flames coming out of its eyes.
"man, she's gonna love this" Sam said as she was admiring the guitar.
"you know how to add the strings, tuners and all that shit right?" he asked her.
"yeah, I do, it's not my first time making one of these you know" she said as she walked back inside with Lincoln following her.
2 hours later
Sam put the guitar in a case she had in her room, right after adding all the other stuff to it. Lincoln was sitting in the living room watching random shows to kill time, he looked at his watch and saw it was nearly 8 o'clock. He turned the tv off and got up with his bag.
"hey Sam, I got to go now" he said to her while he opened the door.
"alright little dude! See you tonight" she called out to him before he left.
Royal woods elementary
Lincoln turned up at school more early this time, before he walked inside, he saw his art teacher's car spot. Lincoln stood around outside waiting for his teacher to turn up.
20 minutes later
After waiting about 20 minutes for her to show up, everyone else arrived and saw what Lincoln did, his teacher finally turned up but before she parked, he was able to see her face in disbelief. She had to turn around and park in a different spot. Once she came back, she was now looking angry; she saw everyone taking pictures and everyone laughing when they saw her face look almost the same as the art. She marched into the school looking like she was about to blow it up. The bell then rang so everyone started heading to first class, all while Lincoln had a smile.
After school
Lincoln was now walking back to Sams house, so far, he hasn't been pranked yet, so that was good. He arrived at Sams house, when he opened the door, he was greeted by Sam and a couple others sitting on the couch with the guitar they made.
"oh, hey Link" she said.
"hey" he said sitting down in the armchair.
"he helped me with this" she said to her friends as they were checking out the guitar.
"broooo this is so sick!" one of her friends said.
"eh you know, it's alright" he chuckled.
"it's totally rockin!" her other friend said.
"thanks" Lincoln accepted the compliment.
"this is Jake" Sam said pointing to him holding the guitar.
"hey" Lincoln said.
"sup" he said back.
"and this is Shelby" she said elbowing the girl sitting beside her.
"hey little dude" she said giving him a fist bump.
"hey" he said to her.
"so, when's your lover getting here?" Shelby said teasing Sam.
"she'll be here soon" Sam said.
"well how you gonna give it to her?" Lincoln asked.
"I'm gonna leave it in the case, then when she brings her guitar, I'm gonna ask her to grab "mine" out of the case" she said to everyone.
"rockin plan!" her friends said.
"sounds promising" Lincoln said.
Just then someone knocked on the door.
"that's probably her" Sam said getting up.
"so, what's this girls name?" Lincoln asked Shelby.
"oh, its Luna" she said.
"oh, funny because I have a sister named- oh shit" he said.
Before Lincoln could say anything else, Sam opened the door to see Luna on the other side. They hugged and Luna planted a kiss on Sams cheek.
"always the cheek" Sam said to her "you tease" she said.
Luna then saw Lincoln sitting down.
"wait, Lincoln?" Luna said as she saw her younger brother.
"Luna?" he said confused.
"say what?" Jake said.
"that's my sister" Lincoln said.
"that's my bro" Luna said.
There was an awkward silence.
"well how about that, what are the odds" Shelby said breaking the silence.
"Lincoln, dude what are you doing here?" she asked her brother who was still confused about her having a girlfriend.
"I uh-" he was cut off by Sam.
"he helped me with this" she said holding out the guitar case for her.
"what's this?" she said taking it.
"open it" she said sitting back down.
Luna set the case on the coffee table and opened it in front of everyone. Her eyes went wide to what she saw, she pulled it out of the case.
"oh my god bro" was the only words she was able to say.
"think she likes it?" Lincoln said to Sam.
"maybe" she laughed.
After looking and admiring the guitar, she looked at Lincoln.
"bro, how did you do this?" she asked him.
Lincoln didn't think he'd actually tell Luna or any of his siblings about his love for art, but seeing as there was no way out of this.
"I've been sort of, having a thing for art" he admitted rubbing the back of his neck.
"since when?" she asked him.
"nearly a week now" he said.
"why haven't you said anything?" she said confused.
"well I was going to, I had an art project, but when it got an F, I couldn't tell you guys" he said.
"what was it?" she said.
"we had to draw something that meant a lot to us" he said.
"so, what was-" before she could finish, Lincoln grabbed his bag and took out his journal.
"I have it in here somewhere" he said while looking through his book.
He turned to the end part of his journal and found the folded-up piece of paper; he took it out and handed it to Luna.
"is this it?" she said.
Lincoln nodded.
Luna unfolded the paper and after looking at it, she looked back up at Lincoln.
"dude, how come this got an F?" she asked wondering why.
"wrong paper, not coloured, that kind of shit" he said.
"Lincoln, don't swear your only 11" she said.
"whatever" he said sitting back with his arms crossed.
"wish he was older" Shelby muttered.
"what?" Jake asked.
"nothing" she said quickly.
Luna put the guitar aside "Lincoln, this is amazing, hell it's probably better than the guitar!" she said.
"you think?" he said slowly.
"yeah! Bro, forget what the teacher said about all that shit, its perfect!" she said.
This made Lincoln smile, he thought none of his sisters would actually care about it, since all they seem to care is his love life or if he's being bullied.
"thanks" he said.
"come here dude" she said standing up and holding her arms out. Lincoln got up and hugged her, she gave him a warm hug before Sam joined in.
"group hug!" she said.
They laughed and Jake and Shelby got up and joined them.
"want to tell everyone else when we get back?" she said running her fingers through Lincolns hair.
"I don't know" he muttered.
"come on bro, if this drawing doesn't show them how much you love art, then I don't know what will" she said.
"...okay" he said.
Everyone broke out the hug.
"alright, let's get rocking!" Luna said as she threw up the devil horns.
"rockin!" her friends said doing the same.
"want to jam with us Link?" Sam said.
"I would, but I don't have a guitar" he said.
"oh, dude just use mine" Luna said going over to her guitar and opening the case.
"what the hell?!" she yelled out loud.
"what?" he said.
Luna's friends came over and looked in the case.
"uhhh" they all said together.
"what's in it?" Lincoln asked.
"there's a note" Jake pointed out.
Luna picked up a note that was in the case, she opened it and they all read it. Luna looked at Sam and blushed in embarrassment.
"guys, what's in the case?" Lincoln asked again.
"let's just say" Shelby said taking the note from Luna "Sam and Luna are gonna be having a good time with this thing" she said laughing after reading the note again.
"Shelby!" Luna said blushing even more.
From what was going on, Lincoln figured Luan pranked her, but what did she put in the case?
"you recon that's like 8 inches?" Jake said out loud to Shelby.
"Jake!" all the girls said to him.
"what?" he said confused, he then looked at Lincoln and looked back at the case "how old did you say you were?" he asked him.
"11?" he replied.
"oh damn, yeah you shouldn't look at this" he said as he took out Luna's guitar and closed it.
"okay?" Lincoln said still confused.
"I'm gonna kill Luan when I get back home" she said sitting back down with Sam.
Just then, both Lincoln and Luna got a text at the same time, the opened their phones and saw Lori started a WhatsApp group chat, with Lynn and Leni too.
"guys! My hair is Literally ruined!" Lori texted along with a picture of her hair.
Her hair was dyed red.
"what happened?" Lincoln texted.
A few seconds later Lori texted back "i took my bottle of shampoo with me to bobby's house and Luan swapped my shampoo with hair dye!"
"if you think that's bad" Lynn texted "I went back to the house to grab my basketball before Luan "showed up" and all my balls have been deflated (haha, good joke) and when I left the house, I swear to god Luan was hiding in the bushes like a prank ninja"
"Luna, did Luan get you?" Lori texted.
"well I can't say because Lincoln is here, I'll tell you tomorrow" she texted.
"Lincoln? What about you" Lynn texted.
"I'm all good" he said.
"what?" Lori and Lynn texted at the same time.
"yeah, I haven't been pranked yet for some reason" he texted.
"ugh, Leni?" Lori texted.
"I haven't been like pranked yet" she texted.
"are you kidding me?!" Lori texted.
"although I did get a letter from work saying I should put on this clown costume they sent me" she texted.
There was a small pause.
"Leni, was anyone laughing at you?" Lincoln texted.
"yeah, tons of people, I think they liked it" she texted.
"Leni, I think that was a fake letter sent by Luan" Lynn texted.
"really?" Leni texted.
"yeah!" everyone texted.
"oh" she texted.
The group chat ended and everyone started laughing.
"oh god! Your sister's hair looks so ridiculous" Sam laughed.
Even though Lincoln or Luna would defend her, but they couldn't lie and say it wasn't funny.
"alright guys, lets rock out!" Luna said standing up and picking up her new guitar with the rest of her friends.
"want to join Link?" Jake asked him.
"nah, think I might do some drawing" he said.
"alright dude" Luna said.
They all started to think of a new song, writing down notes, lyrics and thinking of chords that go well with each other (I don't know anything about music writing).
Later
After a while of Luna and her friends writing a new song, it was nearly done. Lincoln was sitting in the armchair drawing them while they done their thing. Lincoln finished the drawing.
"hey guys" he said getting their attention "check this out" she showed them his drawing.
"whoa little dude" Jake said.
"that's awesome!" Shelby said.
"you got some talent" Sam said.
"that's amazing Lincoln" Luna said last.
Lincoln tore the paper out of the journal and handed it to Luna.
"thanks bro" she said taking the paper.
"finished writing the song?" he asked them.
"almost" Sam said.
Lincoln went back to his city drawing, he started to add in more creatures and other little detail to the buildings.
And that is the end of this chapter people! Tell me what you think about option B, for those of you who don't know which one option B was, it was one of Lincolns sisters finding out about Lincoln loving art, I don't know if I'll write about Lincolns entire family knowing about the whole "vandalising" stuff, but we'll see how that goes in the future. But anyways that's everything said, as always if you want to ask questions, submit ideas or discuss future chapters here is my discord tag (-_ππππ½πΎπΈπΆπ ππΎππ_-#8660) again I hope you all enjoyed the chapters, and I'll of course, see you in the next one!
