Luan took a seat at his brothers desk, and turned towards him, but still kept her head down in shame. As Luan sat down, Lincoln was trying to get as comfortable as possible, seeing how this conversation could take a while. There were a few moments as silence as both were trying to figure out what they wanted to say to the other. Luan was the first one to break the silence, and began to start what she hoped to be a more fitting apology, seeing as just saying sorry didn't feel like enough.

"Lincoln" she started, "I didn't mean for this to happen, and I definitely didn't want you to get so hurt. Maybe a bruise or two from the other pranks, but I would never want you to break a bone." She started tearing up as she continued. "Not to mention that if it hit you in the head" at that Luan shook her head to try and get rid of that thought, as she refused to think what would happen."Not to mention that if Ronnie Anne opened the door and got hit the-" she was cut off by Lincoln before she could finish.

Lincoln spoke "Please don't finish that sentence, I set off all of those traps, because I couldn't imagine her getting hit by them. I don't want to think about if she got hit by the worst one." At that, Lincoln decided to question Luan, as he wanted to continue. "Luan, what were you thinking when you set that trap up? Why did you think that trap would any other way?"

Luan responded "I didn't expect the cement to harden in the bucket, but rather encase you in a single spot." Lincoln responded quick to that saying "of course it doesn't work like that, this isn't some old age cartoon." Luan shook her head as she continued. "I know, I don't know what I was thinking when I set that trap up, other than that it would hit it's mark."

Lincoln sighed, and looked at Luan. "Look, I'm gonna be stuck like this for some time, so I'm going to have to count on you, at least till I'm well enough to use crutches. I have already forgiven you to an extent, seeing how sorry you feel for causing this, but I don't think you share the same thought. If you don't accept my forgiveness, then help me get through this when I need you, okay?" Luan had trouble believing what she had heard. She was the reason that Lincoln is stuck for so long, and yet he still forgave her. She however decided that she didn't want to be forgiven just because she felt bad.

"If you need me, please don't hesitate to call me. You're too good of a brother, so I at least have to try being a better sister." She said in a partially broken voice, trying to keep from breaking down. Lincoln smiled, "good, thank you. Oh, and one more thing." Luan looked up as to hear what her brother was about to say. "Please at least try to cut down on April fools in the future?" He said with an exasperated sigh, to which Luan nodded her head.

Authors Note:

I have very little idea where this is gonna go, but lets hope it's decent. Sorry for waiting 6 days to update, but I couldn't think of how this chapter should go, and I think that's evident by how it played out. Not my proudest chapter, but it progressed the story. I also have a habit of writing new chapters at 4 in the morning, so I feel that my sleep deprivation results in dis-satisfactory chapters.

Basically, sorry for making you wait for a chapter like this.
