Lincoln clinches his eyes closed from the sudden bright light, a strong wind flying by him but Lincoln still hung on. Then he felt his feet touch the ground.
"Welcome to the Ultra-Dimension, Lincoln! Ink stated
Lincoln slowly opened his eyes only to close them again.
"Oops...Take a minute buddy, your eyes will set shortly." Ink explained
"Incoln!" a small noise squealed with glee.
"Hehe, someone's here to see you!" Ink smiled
Lincoln knelt down as he was about to grab the source of the voice.
"Hello, Lily!" Lincoln greeted as he opened his eyes only to be confused by what he thought was his little sister.
"Wait...Lily?" Lincoln asked
Lincoln noticed that the baby he was holding looked far different from his baby sister. The infant wore a light blue shirt and a full head of blonde hair, and the infants ears were pierced.
"Lily?" Lincoln asked again
Ink Linc gave off a chuckle.
"Lincoln, This is the first alternate version of your family. This is Lori from the Age-Swap universe!" Ink explained
Lincoln's eyes widened.
"Lori? Age-Swap?" Lincoln fumbled his words.
Ink Linc placed his hands behind his back as he started to talk.
"Age-Swap is one of the big 3 of the multiverse. It's where you and your sisters ages have been swapped. Lily was born first, then Lisa, then the twins but Lola was born before Lana this time, Lucy, and so on, While you're 13 instead of Lynn." Ink clarified
Lincoln just looked dumbfounded.
"I know, It's a lot to take in. Follow me so we can bring Lori back to her Lily. And...There is someone who I want you to meet..." said Ink, his voice lowering at the last part.
Ink led Lincoln down the hallway. It took Lincoln a minute to realize that the location he was in seemed odd. It looked like the hallway in his house but much more longer and wider.
Without warning, baby Lori snugged her head on Lincoln's shoulder and fell asleep. Memories of a time before he was accused of bad luck started to flow into his mind, Where his sisters and parents still gave a dang about him.
Lincoln continued to follow Ink until they reached the stairs. The trio began to walk down. The closer Lincoln got, The more voices he heard downstairs.
"Is there a party going on here?" asked Lincoln
"Nah, We usually do parties on holidays or during the summer. You should come sometime, the christmas parties are always the lit!" Ink beamed as they made it to the final step.
"But now Lincoln, I want to introduce you to the alternate visitors." he continued
Lincoln peered into what he assumed to be his old living room that looked like a far more bigger version of it.. He saw countless people that he recognized and some he didn't. Lincoln saw a version of him who looked like he was fresh out of the 90's, A Lori who looked like an old time casino owner from old James Bond films him and his father watched sometimes, a Luan who wore a white robe and had a katana blade, and countless more that he couldn't begin to explain.
"You can go talk to them if you want to, Now if you excuse me I have to go find a few friends of mine." said Ink Linc as he walked into the crowd.
The Guardian disappeared around the corner leading to the dining room. Lincoln trekked into the crowd of alternates.
Lincoln was then bumped by a figure making him stumble but he kept has balance, A single whimper came out of Lori's mouth before she went back to sleep.
"Oops, sorry partner!" the figure apologized
Lincoln looked at the source of the voice and saw that he was facing a stereotypical looking Cowboy with a sheriff badge and a orange bandana around his mouth area.
"Who are you?" asked Lincoln
The cowboy tipped his hat, partly revealing his white hair.
"The name's Lincoln Jeremiah Loud, Sheriff of Royal Cacti!" the cowboy boasted proudly.
Lincoln's gasped.
"You're sheriff?!" he asked
"Yep, I got the title after me and Deputy McBride took down Big Bad Chandler and his crew. Now you seem to be wearing different clothing than in my time. Let me guess...you're from the 20th century?"
Lincoln nodded
"Well in my dimension, It's the year you kids might think that the past was boring but it really isn't. Me and my 10 sisters, which was counted normal at the time, all live in Royal Cacti along with my mother. My pa passed a long time ago. Shame, He never got to see me and ronalda's wedding." Cowboy Lincoln explained
"Ronalda? as in Ronnie Anne?" Lincoln scowled
Cowboy Lincoln nodded.
"Yes sir. We've been married for 3 years and we are expecting a second rugrat very soon. Let me tell you, She is as feisty as she is beautiful! And there are only a few times where I saw her shed tears. But enough about this old gunslinger, Which dimension did you travel from, youngster?" asked Cowboy Lincoln
Lincoln looked down with sadness in his eyes.
"Well, My family thinks that I'm bad.."
"Bad Luck, correct?" Cowboy Lincoln interrupted
Lincoln looked up.
"How did you know?"
"You're not the first Lincoln or Linka to come here because their family thinks they are bad luck. It's pathetic, If my Lynn did something like that then my pa would've placed her over his knee, If I lied about it to make it worse then I would've got placed over his knee as well and me and Lynn would have to go to the creek and pick up rocks! I should travel to your dimension right now with my family and give yours a good talkin' too!" Cowboy Lincoln hollered, spooking baby Lori.
Lori started to cry on Lincoln's shoulder.
Cowboy Lincoln sighed as he knelt down and gently patted Lori's head.
"I apologize, little tater. It's just makes me angry at the families who kick their own kids out for something so childish. My pa would've beat himself up if he found that he had a shed belief in something like that! Families aren't supposed to abandon each other..." said Cowboy Lincoln
Lincoln began to speak.
"Don't worry about it, cowboy me." said Lincoln
Cowboy Lincoln nodded.
"Welp, It's high time I head on home! Ronalda gets furious if I'm not home on time for dinner." he explained.
Cowboy Lincoln walked towards the front door and opened it, On the other side was a blue portal. Cowboy Lincoln entered and traveled home.
Lincoln just stood their for a moment.
"Okay Lori, Let's find your Lily." he said before searching around for someone who looked like a Lily.
It didn't take long for Lori to start hopping in Lincoln's arms.
"Ily! Ily!" Shouted Lori
Lincoln turned to the direction where Lori was facing. Lincoln saw a blonde haired girl about his Lori's age, She was wearing a white shirt with purple stripes, A dark blue skirt with one purple line, two purple ankle warmers, and shoes with the mixture of pink and black.
"Lily?" asked Lincoln
