Did you think it was over? You thought wrong my friend! Hello and welcome to the next chapter, chapter 13. I have nothing else to say so let's just dive right into the chapter!
Saturday, royal woods, the loud house, 9AM
Lincoln was sound asleep in his bed, after staying up until 3AM to finish off his drawing, Lincoln felt tired. Lincoln was dreaming about drawing again, before he could finish a replica drawing of the titanic, he felt someone shake him gently.
"Lincoln" Rita whispered, sitting on the side of her sons' bed.
Lincoln groaned, not wanting to get up.
Rita left the room with door open, allowing Lincolns sisters to walk in to wake him up their selves.
"GOOD MORNING" they all yelled causing their brother to jump in shock, at least he was awake.
"what the heck?!" he yelled back.
"Lincoln, its Saturday, you know what that means?" Lori said all happy.
Lincoln then remembered "the competition?" he said slowly starting to smile.
"yeah!" they all said with happiness.
Lincoln is the only family member who hasn't entered a competition, he been to all of his sister's competitions, Lynn's games, Lola's pageants, Luna's concerts etc. So, for Lincoln, all of his sisters want to show him as much support as he showed them.
"well come on let's get breakfast" Lynn said as everyone went downstairs to eat.
Everyone sat at the table, with Lincoln in between Luan and Leni, Rita made them all pancakes, Lincoln and his sisters were all talking about what will happen if Lincoln wins his first competition. Lincoln didn't seem to mind since he couldn't blame them, they all finished their breakfast and went to get showered and changed.
1 hour later
Everyone was now in the living room watching some random shows to kill time, Lincoln was sitting with them with his drawing in an envelope to hand in for the competition. Lincoln was however, kind of scared to hand it in, he didn't know if it would actually get him first place, or even second for that matter. But it was time for him to step out of his comfort zone and think more about the fun in it then the prizes or exposer to his art.
A few minutes later Lynn Sr sat up looking at the clock.
"alright everyone, time to go!" he said making all of his children jump up and run to the car, Lincoln walking instead with his parents.
Royal woods, city hall
The family arrived at the city hall where the competition was being held, Lincoln felt nervous from seeing the amount of people entering. The family exited the car and started walking through the crowds to the front of the hall, the family saw a table with a sign saying "hand your drawings here please" so the loud family walked up to the table to greet the few people who were taking the drawings in.
"hello there, do you have a drawing or painting to hand in?" an old lady asked the parents.
"yes, we do, Lincoln?" Rita said looking at her son who was holding the envelope.
Lincoln walked up to the lady and handed her the envelope "thank you dear" she said taking it.
"how will you decide on who wins?" Lynn asked her.
"we and a few of the city hall staff, will go through them and vote on who the winner and second and third winners will be.
"are there any prizes if he comes in second or third?" Lynn asked making everyone tell her to shush.
"sorry about that, have a good day" Rita said as she and Lynn Sr motioned their kids to walk away.
25 minutes later
The family were sitting in the car eating from burpin burger, they were all talking about something else other than Lincoln winning. After they finished their meal, a man standing at the top stairs leading into the city was getting everybody attention. The loud family walked in with the crowd to see what he had say.
"okay ladies and gentleman!" he said loudly "if you have a drawing or painting to hand in, we can't accept any more on a count of there being too much" he said double checking if anyone still had something to hand in "so now were going to be going over the drawings and paintings and vote on who the 3 winners are" he said as he and the people at the tables walked into the hall.
"well, let's go back to the van guys" Rita said as her and her family walked back to the van to wait.
"hey Link" Lori said getting her brothers attention.
"yeah?" he said.
"you excited?" she asked him since she was excited for him along with the rest of her sisters.
"yeah, kind of nervous" he said rubbing the back of his neck.
"how come?" she said.
"well-" before Lincoln could answer he was shoved by someone, he turned to the side to see Ronnie-Anne looking angry.
"uh, hi? -" Lincoln said before getting interrupted.
"hi? That's all you have to say lame-o?" she said with her fists clenched.
The rest of Lincolns family stopped to see what was going on.
"is this because of yesterday?" he said.
"duh! You moron" she said insulting Lincoln.
"well what do you want me to say?" he said shrugging.
"how about go to hell!" she yelled as she was about to punch Lincoln, but before Lincoln could do anything, Lori grabbed her arm and pulled her away from him. The rest of his sisters gathered around her and started to have a few words with her.
"Lincoln, you alright?" Lynn Sr asked coming up to him.
"yeah, I'm fine" he replied.
"who is she?" Rita asked her son.
"this girl my sisters wanted me to take to that dance last night" he said.
"well why did you?" Lynn Sr asked him.
"because I didn't want to go?" I said.
"yeah right!-" Ronnie-Anne shouted over his sisters.
"hey! We're talking to you" Luna said making Ronnie-Anne slouch.
After about ten seconds later, everyone came back over, this time Ronnie-Anne was walking away.
"what did you guys say to her?" Lincolns his sisters.
"let's just say, she got told" Lynn said with her arms crossed and a smile across her face.
The conversation
"hey what are you doing-" Ronnie-Anne tried to say before getting serious looks from everyone.
"did you try and punch out brother" Lori asked her.
"what do-" she tried to say something before getting put down again.
"answer the question before we ask it physically" Luna said raising her fist.
"I..might've" she muttered.
"never" Leni said.
"and we mean never!" Lola said.
"hurt our brother" Lynn finished.
Ronnie-Anne stood there scared.
"now get lost" Lana said moving out the way for her to leave.
End of it
The family were now sitting in the van talking as normal, Lincoln was sitting next to Leni whilst he was drawing, she peaked over his shoulder checking out what he was drawing, Lincoln didn't seem to mind, it was a nice feeling when they looked at his work.
10 minutes later
Later on, the same man came out with the same people who took the drawings in beside him holding the prizes, getting everyone's attention, the loud family got out the van and stood a good few feet away from the hall.
"okay everyone! We have now picked our 3 winners, as you see we have the 3 prizes" he said as he gestured to the people holding them.
One of the prizes was the thousand dollars in an envelope, second place had $500 which was a good amount and third place was $250, which again wasn't so bad of a prize.
"we have the names of the 3 winners, we will name them from third place to first place" he said as he took a look at the list of names.
Everyone was nervous to see who won.
"in third place, we have Sam Sharp!" he yelled out for everyone to hear "can Sam Sharp please make her way up her to collect her prize"
Sam came running up to collect the envelope, everyone gave her a round of applause and came down to Luna to hug her.
"and now, for the second-place winner, we have...Lincoln Loud!" the man yelled again.
Lincoln as well as the rest of his family were happy to hear this.
"well done bro!" Luna said.
"nice job!" Lori said too.
"omg Linky! That's amazing" said Leni.
"can Lincoln Loud come up to the stage to collect the prize" he said holding out the envelope.
Lincoln pushed through the crowd to get to the front.
"congratulations young man" he said shaking Lincolns hand and handing him the envelope, the crowd gave him a round of applause and he went to join his family.
"well done Lincoln" the loud parents said feeling proud of their son.
"thanks everyone" Lincoln said as their family gave each other a group hug.
"and now for first place winner is..." the man started as he was trying to read the first-place winner.
"want to go Link?" Lori asked her brother.
"yeah, sure" he said.
The family walked back to the van, before Lincoln could enter, he heard
"Ronnie-Anne Santiago!" the man yelled out.
The family were shocked to hear this, Lincoln turned around and saw Ronnie-Anne collect the envelope. The family looked at Lincoln to see his reaction to this, Ronnie-Anne spotted Lincoln looking at her, their eyes locked and Lincoln smiled, he gave her a thumbs up and mouthed to her "congrats" and he got into the van, the family were surprised to see his reaction. They all got into the car and drove off.
"sooo Lincoln" Lucy said getting her older brothers' attention.
"yeah?" he replied.
"did you know about Ronnie-Anne entering?" she asked him.
"no clue" he said back.
"well let's see the money Link" Lynn said as she sat next to her brother.
Lincoln opened the envelope to see the money and his drawing in it too.
"oh look, they gave me my drawing back" Lincoln said taking it out.
"let's see it bro" Luna said as she sat up from her seat to see it, as well as the rest of his sisters.
They were greeted with the drawing of him and his family, with it being signed at the bottom "art is what I love, but my family is my art" this made all of the sisters say "awee" in unison, apart from Lucy who went "wow"
"let's see it sport" Lynn Sr asked handing his arm out behind him for it. Lincoln passed it to him so he and his wife can take a look.
"oh wow, Lincoln that's amazing!" Rita said.
"that's brilliant son" Lynn Sr said as he handed it back.
Lincoln enjoyed the congratulations from his family, it really meant something to him along with the drawing.
The loud house
The family arrived home, as they walked inside Lincoln was stopped by Lori.
"hey Lincoln, can I take your drawing for something?" Lori said.
"uh sure, what for?" he asked as he handed her it.
"you'll see, alright everyone come on!" Lori said as she and her siblings ran upstairs.
Lincoln wandered what they were going to do, but he didn't mind. He went up to his room to stash his money along with the rest of it in the attic. He came back down and sat downstairs in the couch watching tv with his parents.
After a few minutes they came down with Leni holding something behind her back.
"Lincoln, we done something that we think will make you proud even more" Lola said smiling as well as the rest of his sisters.
"okay?" he said still confused.
"close your eyes and hold out your hands bro" Luna said.
"alright" he said as he closed his eyes and held his arms out.
He felt something rectangular get placed into his hands.
"open" said Luan.
Lincoln opened his eyes and was greeted with his drawing in a wooden frame, it had a plaque on the bottom of it that read "the greatest artist" Lincoln wasn't sure what to feel, this was an amazing surprise to see.
"we're proud of you bro" Lynn said.
"so much" Lucy said, even with a small smile.
"guys...thank you" Lincoln said as he felt like crying from this.
"group hug everyone!" Lori said holding her arms out.
Everyone joined in the hug, even the parents.
They broke out of the hug "what do you say about getting that put in the trophy cabinet son?" Lynn Sr said, making Lincoln even more happy.
"yeah" he said giving his dad the frame.
They all went to the cabinet and opening it to put It in the middle.
All Lincoln wanted was to express his talent, he did choose it in a wrong way by showing his anger towards others, Lincoln now realised that the only way to show how he feels isn't with art, but to actually say something instead of keeping It to himself personally. No matter how your family treats you, how they talk to you or anything, don't be scared to say something about it. Your family will always love you and even if you have a small fight with one of your siblings, or all of them, just know that you'll always talk it out with each other, or at least work it out, don't be scared to say what's on your mind to them.
And that, ladies and gentleman...is the end of the story, if you want a sequel to be written, let me know. I want to thank everyone for showing support for the story and showing how much, you liked it. However, it's come to an end, I hope you enjoyed it. I'd like to say that since each of these chapters were posted every day since the first and second, the next story (oooo) I will be taking my time on, I want to take time on writing an even better story, instead of quickly thinking of ideas in one day for each chapter written. I hope you all have been enjoying this story and for my first one, since I've started writing. If you want to ask questions, here is my discord tag (-_ππππ½πΎπΈπΆπ ππΎππ_-#8660) and for the first time of me saying this, I'll see you in the next story!
