Lincoln and Luan are doing their birthday gig for a grandpa's birthday. Lincoln is doing Charlie Chaplin in his Little Tramp suit, while Luan is playing as a grandma. The scene, done in silent movie style with accompanying piano music, is that Lincoln's Tramp character is trying to retrieve his lunch from Luan's grandma. Of course, the stint is done with slapstick, pratfalls and miming. One part is noteworthy; it is when Lincoln and Luan as their characters hitting each other's heads simultaneously. Of course, their gig is successful with the general audience.

Later that night, the clown duo gets home in success.

"That was awesome!" Lincoln gives praise, "Never thought I would nail Charlie Chaplin from head to toe. Of course, there was that part where I accidentally smacked your face. But it was all good."

"It's all part of the act Lincoln," Luan adds, "Just a word of advice to entertain your audience, never mind your audience."

"But I thought a clown needs to worry about the audience," he inquires.

"That's a clown's job," Luan clarifies, "A clown's motivation is to never mind your audience. Just keep on doing your best, and make something of it."

"Well, that is good advice.""Glad you had fun."

"Thanks Luan." Lincoln's expression of gratitude touches his sister. She hugs him in return.

But in sudden turn of events, Lynn and Clyde arrive home from Clyde's lengthy interview, making Clyde's mission successful. And, of course, this shocks Lincoln.

"…And that's why raw eggs is the ideal diet to maintain this physical posture," Lynn continues her story to Clyde as they both enter the house.

"Wow, this is so comprehensive, Lynn. From aloe vera tea to brisk-walking, all perfect article material. You really blew my mind," Clyde reacts. However, the duo is able to notice Lincoln and Luan together. Or, Lynn takes a huge notice.

"Lincoln! Why are you with her?!" Lynn scolds at him.

"I…uhh…uhmm…I…" Lincoln stutters in response.

"Wait, I thought you were supposed to see Ronnie Annie!" she coaxes more.

"Let me explain…" he tries to pacify her, but Lynn keeps throwing truth bombs at him.

"Oh no…so you think this is a way for us not to train all day?! You promised that we train! We even shook hands to agree! I thought you were my buddy!"

Then Luan enters the tirade. "Wait Lincoln, you promised to her that you'll be her buddy?!"

Lincoln can only respond in stammers, realizing that he is in the point of no return.

"I thought you are my buddy?!" Luan throws her concern.

But Lynn defends her case for him, "Ughh! I approached Lincoln first! He's my sparring partner since day one!"

Of course, Luan throws in a counter-argument, "Well, Lincoln is the most trusted clown assistant I could ever have!"

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

The two Loud sisters' argument is overheard by Lisa, Luna, Lucy, Lana and Lola from upstairs. They sneak by the staircase to check the commotion.

"Well, I could argue that Lincoln and I have been most productive."

"Ughh, yeah right? It's not like I and Lincoln devoted five straight afternoons on birthday parties!"

"Errggghhh, that's like the equivalent of jingling keys to a baby!"

"It's not like your jingling keys to Lincoln so he can speed up!"

"Uggghhh...smooth burn from you! Lincoln has been buffing up since we last trained. See?!" Lynn says this while raising Lincoln's arm, proving that the Loud brother has indeed buffed up.

"What have you done to Lincoln?"

"I placed him under the discipline of comedy. He did Charlie Chaplin. And he is good in slapstick."

"So, you broke every funny bone in his body? Hahaha. Get it?! Hahaha!"

Lynn's Luan-like joke causes Luan to burst in outrage, thus making the latter poke Lynn with a cane, in the same manner as Lynn. This also causes for Lynn to get enraged.

"So you want to put it this way, huh sis?!" Lynn shouts.

"Bring it on, sis!" Luan argues back.

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

"Bozzo!"

"Bum-so!"

"Jerky!"

"Jockey!"

"Cretin!"

"Vermin!"

"Juggling Pants!"

"Sucker Ball!"

"Corny Relief!"

"Adrenaline Junkyard!"

"You snore when you sleep!"

"You also snore when you sleep. I think yours is the loudest!"

"Ughh, well you think that Minions movie is funny!"

"You think rolling on the floor is a sport!"

"You posted our embarrassing baby pictures online!"

"I did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"I did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"I did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"Guys, will you stop this now?" Lincoln tries to appease them. However, their attention shifts to him.

"Who are you siding with Lincoln: me or her?!" Lynn interrogates him into siding.

"Ughh, get a grip. Lincoln sides with me!" Luan professes, but needs Lincoln's affirmation, "Right?"

However, what they get is Lincoln stammering and trying to spout his thoughts, to no avail, thanks to pressure.

In response, Lynn gets enraged more, "Lincoln sides with you?! We'll see about that!" She then marches to her room.

"Oh yeah?! We'll see who Lincoln's true buddy is!" Luan says in a scheming manner, as she ragingly carries her stuff to her room, leaving Lincoln by the side.

His sisters who were there to witness the tirade confront him about this.

"What you gonna do now bro?" Luna asks.

"I…uhhh…uhhh…don't know," Lincoln answers in stutters."It must be hard for you, dear brother, to be lodged in this inescapable situation," Lucy adds.

"Great. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Lucy," Lincoln sardonically replies.

"I should have presaged you about the manifold adhesion to two insuperable circuits. Multitasking must be of avoidance," Lisa elaborates, "Elementary, my dear Lincoln."

"Probably it's best you avoid them for a while," Luna suggests, "Or calm them down!"

"But I can't," Lincoln points out, "Lynn has her marathon next week, and so does Luan with her performance."

"Well better make up your mind now, Lincoln," Lola persuades, "Or you'll end up in something bad."

As his sisters leave him standing, Lincoln sighs on what could be the outcome of this impending feud.

The next morning, Lynn wakes up after a bushed day. As she steps out of bed, a spring propels the athletic sister to the ceiling and crashes her down to her pile of balls, also causing for the curtains to rip off to send a bright glare of sunshine, which stuns Lynn's eyes. It is obviously a trap set by Luan.

The comedienne sister springs from the door and says, "Rise and shine, sis! Hahaha! I guess that might have sprung you out to consciousness. Hahaha! Get it!"

In retaliation, Lynn throws a basketball to her face, knocking her out. "At least I have my consciousness. Where's yours?" she snaps back as Luan faints, but still utters, "That's a good one."

Later that day, Luan is riding on her unicycle, preparing for her afternoon gig. Suddenly, Lynn emerges with a baseball-throwing machine and aims at her sister.

"Hey Luan! You better run back home or I'll knock you out in the ballpark!" Lynn sneeringly spouts. "Hehehe. Get it?"

"Ugh, baseball puns? Really?" Luan responds out of annoyance, "That's a cheap attempt to compete against me."

Suddenly, Lynn shoots one ball, making Luan duck it as she releases more baseballs. Luan alertly somersaults from her unicycle and pulls out her baton (from "April Fools Rules") to bat the charging balls in bullet time. Finally, she is able to bat one ball that knocks Lynn from the abdomen.

Luan realizes this victorious moment and utters to her sister as she proceeds back at the house, "Strike three and you're knocked out. Hehehe!"

Lynn gets up from being knocked out and realizes something, "Man, she's good at batting. Does that mean something?"

Later that night, Lynn is doing jump rope routines, with Lucy monitoring her time and number of times she jumped rope. However, Luan slips a banana peel below Lynn, causing her to have the rope tied around her.

"Aww Lynn, you should have not brought too much rope for this tirade. Hehehe," Luan jokingly utters as she pops.

Angered, Lynn pulls the entire rope from her body and lassos Luan to tie her body around, knocking Lucy in the process from the swings of the rope.

"Who's full of rope now? Hehehe. Get it?!" Lynn snaps back with a burn, enraging Luan further and scaring Lola and Lana, who are passing by.

That evening as well, Luan is making pies for her next gig tomorrow and her next rehearsals with Lincoln. She tries one pie to hit on her face. However, as she slams the delicacy to her face, her skin reacts badly from the pie. The 14-year-old discovers that her pie was spiked with pepper powder and hot sauce

Luan tries to run to sink but the spicy pie also affected her eyes, making her unable to see. In the process as she runs to the sink, she knocks out Luna, Lisa and Leni, who are passing by.

Lynn pops in front of her and utters to her, "Well, I guess you're in a hot pursuit. Hahaha." However, Luan accidentally head butts Lynn, trying to find the sink.

"Nope, that's not the sink," Luan says as she finally gets to the sink. "There we go."

Lynn is just there, laid from being head butted by her sister.

Seeing this as a concern, Luna, Leni, Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa confront Lincoln about this. As they approach his room, the sisters see him extremely exhausted.

"Lincoln, you better take care of Lynn and Luan, right now!" Lola insists.

"Haven't we told you to take care of this?" Luna addresses.

"Guys, can I take a rest for a moment, please?" Lincoln convinces to no effect.

"But bro, they're fighting like mad!" Lana adds.

"I get it! You're still committing to both of them, aren't you?" Lucy deduces

"It sounds like having two girlfriends at the same time," Lucy adds.

"No I'm not!" Lincoln denies Lucy and Leni's claim.

However, they hear footsteps approaching towards Lincoln's room. Lana checks it out and alerts them, "Guys, it's Lynn! We better run!"

In that protocol, the sisters escape via Lincoln's round window with a rope to climb down to the yard.

"You better handle this conflict now, or the unpredictable stances may occur," Lisa warns him.

Lincoln gets stunned by Lisa's warning. Untimely, Lynn pops in front of him. "Hey Linc! Glad you're resting, buddy!

"Yeah…" Lincoln replies with a nervous smile.

"Excited for Saturday?" Lynn asks, making Lincoln nod, "I know right! Hope I can count on you, buddy, not that ingrate Luan will burst in and ruin everything."

"Yeah…I agree…" he replies.

"Well, get some rest. We got a lot to train buddy." Lynn then hugs Lincoln tightly and fists him by the shoulder before leaving his room.

But just as Lynn leaves, Luan enters in a jolt. "Hey Linc!" Luan greets, "How's rest from all those rehearsals we had?"

"Resting," Lincoln exhaustingly replies.

"Well, just want to say can't wait for our great performance this Saturday. Hope Lynn does not ruin this! What'd you say buddy?"

"Just good. Let me rest first Luan."

"Oh sure. Thanks Lincoln for everything." Luan then hugs him before she leaves.

Just as Luan leaves his room, Lincoln expresses to the readers, "I guess Leni is right. It's like having two girlfriends at the same time. Note to self: Never serve two masters. Now, I'm dead."

The next days before Thursday are pretty much the same routine. Lynn has her training with Lincoln, while Luan finishes her gigs and practices with him as well. On hindsight, Luan sets up a prank for Lynn but it backfires when Lynn throws in a burning quip that is better than Luan's, and Lynn aims to target Luan with her sports equipment but Luan dodges strenuously a lot more than Lynn. However, they are still unaware that Lincoln is constantly committing to both of them. The brother, in the other hand, tries his best to commit to both, despite his sister's warnings.

But it all comes down to Thursday night when Luan and Lynn confront each other in the living room.

"You're going way too far, Luan!" Lynn argues.

"What you talking about? We're near at each other. Hahaha." Luan snaps back.

"So I can hit you closer. Hahaha. Take that!

"Urghhh…you've gone under my nerves, Lynn!"

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!

Suddenly, the two stop as Lincoln happens to walk by. They are stunned to discover Lincoln in his jogging uniform (a blue track suit and sweat band), eating cake.

"Lincoln, why are you eating cake again?!" Lynn scolds him, making him drop the cake and get shocked at encountering his two feuding sisters.

"Linc, why are you in a jogging suit?" Luan loudly points out, but Lincoln stammers in his response.

"Lincoln, tell me who are you really siding: me or Luan?" Lynn interrogates him.

"Lincoln?!" Luan points the obvious as well, which prompts for the two to quarrel, producing a fight cloud that Lincoln is absorbed in, despite fleeing away.

The sisters are in fear of this feud as the three destroy stuff in their surroundings. Because of this, Luna alerts Lori from work in Gus' Games N' Grub to manage the feud.

Though the quarrel consists of punches and hits, the worst part is where the two sisters strangle each other's hair, with Lincoln being pushes by their feet, Lynn ripping off Luan's ponytail and Luan ripping off Lynn's as well.

At the nick of time, the oldest Loud sister arrives and blows her whistle to stop them.

"Okay you three, get in the room!" Lori rebukes her three fighting siblings.

On her signal, they march to Lincoln's room to force them to talk this out. Lincoln is the last one to enter. He can only be extremely nervous at what needs to be addressed. Lori then shuts the door, with the other siblings waiting outside. Luan and Lynn sit on the bed on opposing sides, with Lincoln between them.

"I'm really dead," Lincoln spouts, learning of his doom.


Watch out for the last chapter on Friday, as the next part is really going to be heavy.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
