When they arrived to their destination, which was white haired Luan's reality, they all showed up back in Lincoln's room, the place he and Luan had left from. And by the looks of it, Lincoln was angry, Luan was serious, and Luna was terrified. Or that's what one could assume after seeing her quickly glancing through the bedroom.
"What the heck did you do?" Lincoln asked Luan, and Luna didn't even noticed. "You kidnapped her! Just like you did to me."
"Can you stop complaining so much? I did what I have to. I told you, this is for the best."
"Well, I don't know, why don't we ask the one who doesn't even understand what's going on if this is the best?" He pointed at Luna.
"Oh, I almost forgot." She went towards the door. "I'll go check to see if my Luna is around. If she's not, we can mover to my bedroom. More space, that's for sure."
"Wait, Luan-" He was interrupted by the door closing. "Why did I agree with this?" Lincoln thought. Yes, he remembered all Luan keeps repeating to him, and it's still truth, even if Luan wasn't doing the best job. He just sighed, looking at his device. He could just take Luna back, but he felt Luan would find a way to bring her back, plus, he didn't know the code of Luna's universe. All the last trips were done with Luan's device, so he didn't had the exact code needed
He faced Luna, who was still looking at the room like she was visiting a museum. He tapped her shoulder, which gathered her attention, and she backed up a bit, raising her hands in defense. He also noticed Luna's violin came with them, which was lying on the floor.
"Hey, uh…" Lincoln began. "This was not exactly how it was supposed to be."
Luna took a few seconds before looking at him with an angry glare. "Look, I'm sorry, if I knew how to take you back...all you have to know, even if it doesn't look like it, but the two of us are looking for the best to all of us."
Luna looked at a piece of paper and pencil lying around that room. And soon she began writing, and handed the paper to Lincoln. "Couldn't you at least explain that before?"
"That was my idea. Luan...she had other plans, apparently." He then remembered something. "Wait, you only have four siblings, without counting you, right?" He asked, earning a nod in response.
"Well, me and the other white haired girl are both one of a eleven kids family. There are six of them you probably don't know about."
Luna just looked at him with confusion. He then thought of something. "Alright, wait right here, don't move, I'll be back in one second."
He left the room, and carefully sneaked his way downstairs. Nobody noticed him, as there was only Lori and Leni on the living room to notice him, and the TV was doing the job of being noticed. He soon found what he was looking for. A family picture, it was almost identical to the one he had on his reality, the main difference being his and Luan's hair color. He picked it up and dashed his way back into the room.
"Alright, I'm back." He said, lending him the picture. "You might recognize some people in that picture. The others are...let's say, sisters you don't have."
Luna didn't 'heard' the last part, as she focused on the picture instead of Lincoln's mouth. She spent some good minutes analyzing it without taking her eyes out of it. After a long examination, he handed back the picture, seconds before Luan coming back to the room.
"Alright, I took care of my Luna, we won't be seeing her around soon. My bedroom is available now."
"Well, I guess we should go there, then." Lincoln said, handling the portrait to Luan. "You mind putting this where it belongs? I'll take Luna to your bedroom."
Luan nodded, and the three of them made their way to the hallway. While Luan headed downstairs, Lincoln and Luna made their way to the former's bedroom. When they entered, once again, Luna went through the room with the most curious of eyes, like a Sherlock searching for clues. It didn't took long before Luan returned to join the group of now 3 white haired people.
"Okay, are you ready for the next travel?" Luan asked.
"Wait, are you serious?" Lincoln asked. "We have a deaf girl who probably doesn't understand nothing of what's going on, and you want to go after another one of us?"
"We don't have a reason to lose time here, Linc. she'll eventually understand."
"No, I refuse to go until we make her understand."
"Luan, come here!" The two of them heard a scream, apparently from both twins at the same time. Luan sighed.
"I gotta go. In the meantime, try to explain things to her, I'll be back when I can."
"Luan, wait-" He said, but once again the door interrupted him. "You gotta be kidding me." He thought, as Luna still examined the room. Lincoln was trying to think of some way to explain what was happening, when he remembered something. It was a risky plan, but maybe, just maybe, it could work. He sneaked his way outside of the bedroom, and knocked on Lisa's bedroom door. It took only a few seconds before it was open by the genius of the house herself, who faced him with a curious expression.
"Brother unit, is this a repeat of your 'joke' towards our fourth oldest sibling?" She asked.
"No, Lisa, it's me, the Lincoln from the other reality." He explained, making the girl wide her eyes. "Listen, I need your help. Could you come with me?"
Before Lisa could answer, Lincoln dragged her back to Luna and Luan's bedroom, and they both had a view of white haired Luna from behind. Lisa was quick to realize that she was not from their reality.
"Listen, this is my version of Luna, and she's deaf and mute." Lincoln explained. "You think you could do something to fix that?"
"Well, I certainly could provide medical assistance, but don't you have a counterpart of myself that would be just as capable of doing so?"
Lincoln actually didn't think of that. "Well, uh, you see… my Lisa never liked Luna that much, and even if she says she can't solve it, I think it's because she doesn't want to."
"Ignorant behavior, if you allow me to to point out. Well, I'm certain I can provide assistance, after you provided me the basis for multi dimensional travel. Please bring her into my resting chamber and lab."
Lincoln nodded as Lisa returned to her bedroom, while Lincoln called for Luna but touching her shoulder. "Hey, come with me, I want to show you something." He said. She seemed confused, but followed him inside the lab which was Lisa's bedroom, and once again, the curious look went all over the place, only this time there was a lot more to look at other than posters and clothes. Lisa was sorting some equipment back in the table.
"You think she'll be able to hear and speak?"
"I'm not certain, there are certain factors that influence that." She said, examining one piece of equipment. "For instance, if her hearing deficiency comes from birth, she'll not be able to speak properly even if I can solve the issues regarding her vocal folds, due to the lack of, obviously, hearing and practicing the use of sound." She turned around. "Please, sit her down on my mattress."
Lincoln had to pull Luna away from her distractions, so she would sit down on the bed. Lisa then approached her by the side, so she could begin the examination. Lincoln was in front of her the whole time. "Don't worry, you can trust her, everything will be fine." he repeated.
Luna seemed a bit frightened, but she allowed Lisa to do everything,from X-rays to internal scans of her throat, even if some things couldn't even be noticed, the ones that could were quite disturbing. But she was brave enough to hold still. Soon enough, Lisa was examining the data collected.
"So, what you got?" Lincoln asked.
"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do regarding her vocal folds." She approached her table, grabbing what seemed to be a small metal rod. "However, the same does not apply to her hearing system. I may have just what's is needed. Brother unit, cover your eyes"
Lincoln did as told, as Lisa approached Luna with the rod, pointing in at her face, and a light began glinking in different colors in its end. In a matter of seconds, Luna simply fell on the bed, apparently unconscious, her eyes closed, even if her mouth didn't.
"Wow, what was that?" Lincoln said.
"Sleep inducer." Lisa simply said, returning to the table. "In its core, iit sets the subject in a quick state of almost unconsciousness. It doesn't last long, although during this period of time, it's almost impossible to awake them. It's the second version, as I'm still searching for the first one, which somehow got lost." She put it on the table, and grabbed two small and soft blue spheres. "Now, this will addenter her ears, adapting its shape to substitute the damaged areas. That's the reason I put her in this state. It's a quite disturbing process, even with no true harms."
"So, this will fix her hearing?" Lincoln asked.
"Precisely. She'll probably be awaken in a matter of minutes, more than enough time for the devices to act." She explain. "I suggest avoid noises with high decibel value, as the system is quite fragile on it's first moments of adaptation to the human body."
"Nice." Lincoln said, with a smile. Even if it wasn't truely his sister, he was glad that he somehow could help someone, and apparently this once deaf girl would be hearing again, if she ever did hear in the first place. "Thanks a lot, Lisa. You surely did a better job that my version of you."
"I assure you it was my pleasure." Lisa said. "Now, if you excuse me, I must resume to my other experiments, and I assume you must return to your reality."
"Yes, of course. Just have to wait for the device to recharge." Lincoln said. He grabbed Luna and dragged her back again to Luna and Luan's bedroom before Lisa asked any other questions. There was no sign of Luan there, so he just laid Luna on the lower bunk bed, even if it was Luan's, and seated on besides her, honestly just waiting for time to go by. After a few minutes, he remembered that Luna had somehow brought her violin with her. He looked at her and she was still sleeping.
"I'll just go grab it." Lincoln said to himself. "She'll like to have that with her, I suppose."
With that, he left the room, and sneaked his way into 'his' bedroom. The trip was no big issues, even if Leni had popped out of nowhere and began heading downstairs, apparently not even noticing Lincoln's presence. So, he went inside the bedroom, placing the violin on the corner of the bed. Not a few seconds later, he began noticing that Luna began to open her eyes. He waited there patiently, Luna placed a hand on her head, as she slowly sit up in the bed. She then took a glance over him.
"So, how are you doing?" Lincoln asked.
Luna made a very confused expression at Lincoln, before placing her hands over her ears. Lincoln had to admit that the house, while not completely silent, it was not as loud as it usually is, so it made sense to him that, if he didn't speak, Luna wouldn't hear nothing regardless.
"Can you hear me?" He tried again. Luna slowly took her hands out of her ears, and faced them with a surprised face, before facing Lincoln back again. "I told you we're trying to make things better."
Luna then went around her clothes until she managed to find the pocket that had her cell phone inside. It seemed a bit different from what Lincoln was used to. Probably specific for people with deficiency, or phones in general were different. She took it and began typing something, before, turning it sideways. A classic song Lincoln didn't know the name began playing from it, and the surprised and confused expression slowly gave place to a huge smile staring at the screen. Soon, she paused the song, and faced Lincoln with the same smile a child would have when going to Disney World.
"So, I guess now you can listen, heh?" Lincoln said. "Sorry we couldn't do anything about your voice, but-"
Lincoln was interrupted when the white haired girl put her phone away and pulled the boy for a hug, not losing her smile. It wasn't stronger than one Lynn could give, but it made a good job not allowing Lincoln to thing lasted a few seconds, before Luna went to grab her paper and pencil.
She only wrote a couple of words, and it might not seem much, but the honest thank you followed by a smile from the version of his older sister managed to put one on the boy as well. Who would say Luan was right after all? He managed to help this version of his sister, who knows what he can do to the others they meet? Soon enough, the door opened, and this time both of the turned into it to see Luan coming inside the room, her clothes and hair a bit dirty and messed up. She laid her back on the closed door and began breathing heavily.
"Someone put too much sugar on the twins' breakfast." Luan said. "So, what did I missed?" She looked at the other two people in the room. SHe noticed a particularly goofy smile coming from the girl.
"Well, I talked to Lisa, and turns out she managed to fix her hearing." Lincoln said.
"Wait, how? I mean, I don't doubt she can, but didn't she suspect anything?"
"No, or at least I hope not." He explained. "Just told her it was a Luna from my version. She still can't speak, thought."
"Can't say it's not an improvement." Luan said. "Now, should we get ready to go find another one?"
"Well, I guess we can." He turned to Luna. "Are you okay with coming with us? We have to make a small trip, so we can find the other versions of our sisters that are just like us."
Luna gave a slow but confident nod, while Luan was already typing on her device. Suddenly, a portal appeared. They both held hands to each other, to not risk leaving anyone behind, and jumped through the portal. When they arrived, they landed on a field of grass, but this time it didn't looked like an actual park. It looked more like a garden.
"Uh, where are we?" Lincoln asked.
"I don't know, but I think we may be trespassing some rich guy's backyard." Luan pointed behind Lincoln, and he turned around to see a big mansion with white walls and light blue windows. The 3 of them noticed there was a long path leading towards the main building, with the most diverse colors of flowers spread, with the slight scent of pollen in the spring.
"You think is there where we're supposed to be?" Lincoln asked, as they both stared at the big house. They had to admit, the building was very impressive.
Lincoln then felt someone pulling his shirt. Turning around, he saw Luna pointing at two tall man in suits and sunglasses making their way towards them.
"Uh, Luan, we might have a problem here."
Luan turned around to see the security that looked like MIB agents going towards their direction. "Oh my God, who puts security in a frickin garden?"
"The three of you!" One of them shouted. "Stay away from Mr. Loud's awarded garden! It's entry is allowed to family and invited members only."
"Well, at least we know we're at the right place. Wait, shouldn't they know we're his family?"
"Judging by the amount of money needed to build this, I wouldn't be surprised if we changed our appearances with makeup or even plastic surgery. Plus, our clothes and hair are probably different. Or we simply don't exist, like in Luna's reality."
Lincoln and Luan felt someone pulling their shoulders. They unconsciously turned around to see Luna dashing towards the giant building. The two of them didn't have to think twice before entering a chase between them and the security in their way towards the giant mansion that was apparently the Loud House in this reality.
A few moments earlier
Luan left Lincoln's room to go to her own. Going inside, she noticed Luna was on her top bunk bed, with her headphones on. Good, that way she wouldn't suspect anything. She began searching under her bed until she found the metal rod she was searching. After having it, she climbed the bunk bed, with Luna noticing her, and removing her headphones.
"Oh, hey there, sis. How ya doin?"
"Oh, everything is fine. I wanted to show you something." She pointed the rod at Luna. "Sweet dreams."
Luna seemed confused at first, but it quickly gave place to extreme tiredness, and in a matter of seconds she fell flat on her bed. Luan put the rod on the top bed and carefully dragged Luna with her to the ground. She then used her device and opened a portal.
"Hope those versions of us don't mind someone like you, Luna." She said to the sleeping girl being carried over her shoulder, legs on the front and head on the back. "Now you'll understand why you can't just take us for granted, because there will be consequences." She laughed a bit, before stepping inside the portal, only to return back, a couple minutes later, but this time, alone.
