Looks like I succeeded in uploading a new chapter soon! Sad to say this story has only one more chapter left before it ends. Anyways I hope you enjoy!

The ride back home was the exact opposite of the ride after they went to the hospital for Lincoln. Everyone was talking, joking around, and smiling. That atmosphere survived all the way back home. The house now lighter than it was. Lynn decided to go to her room, feeling a lot better after opening up to Lincoln.

"Hey Luc, you were right." She said plopping onto her bed.

Lucy was busy re-reading her poems. She turned her attention to Lynn for a brief moment, "I know I was."

"I finally feel like I can hang out with him again." Lynn added.

"I know it doesn't sound like it. But I'm happy for you, from the deepest part of my black heart." Lucy replied.

"Everything's back to the way it should be. Everything's solved and right as rain." Lynn said.

A knock could be heard from their closed door. "Come in!" Lynn said in a light tone.

The door opened slowly to show a fourteen year old girl standing on the other side. Lynn quickly sat up in her bed surprised to see Luan at their door.

"Hi Lynn." Luan silently greeted.

Lynn was in a small state of shock to reply instantly. "L-Luan?"

Luan stepped in and closed the door. "I can tell you're a bit shocked.

Lynn managed to snap out of her state in order to speak in a full sentence finally. "Well yeah. You told me I was dead to you.

Luan looked down, "Wow. When you say it, it sounds a lot more harsh than it was meant to be."

Lynn slightly threw her hands up. "That's because it was. What made you change your mind?"

Luan looked up at her. "Would you mind if I sat next to you?"

Lynn scooted over to make room. Luan walked over and sat next to her, almost like a parent talking to their child.

"Lincoln talked to me about what I said to you." Luan said.

"He did?" Lynn asked.

Luan nodded, "He practically begged me to talk to you about it. I put some serious thought into it before we went to the carnival, and to be honest I thought he was right."

Lynn remained silent waiting for her sister to go on.

"I know now that I shouldn't have said what I said. But I do think you should tell Mom and Dad." Luan continued.

"So you want to lecture me again?" Lynn asked.

"In a way." Luan replied. "I want you to know that I haven't given up on you. That all I want is for you to be responsible. How do you think they would react if they had to find out about it?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow. "But if I don't tell them they'll never know."

Luan shook her head. "You're wrong. It doesn't matter if you tell them or not. They'll find out one way or another."

"How do you know?" Lynn questioned.

"A few years ago while you were at practice I set up a prank for Lori. It was a pie that was supposed to fall onto the first person to open the door to her and Leni's room." Luan replied.

"How'd you get in trouble?" Lynn asked.

"Well, the first person to open their door was Dad. He was about to lecture Lori on a bad test grade. But the pie ended up staining one of his business clothes. I was scared so I didn't say anything, but without anyone saying anything he found out." Luan said.

"How?" Lynn asked.

Luan shrugged. "To this day it still remains a mystery. That or he remembered I'm the one person who plays pranks in the house."

Lynn looked at Luan in a skeptical manner. Luan noticed this and hurried to defend her statement. "But regardless of that parents will find out about something you did even if you don't tell them. It's like some type of parental intuition."

Lynn sighed. "So I'm basically stuck in a corner."

"It's better to be responsible and tell them before they have to find out themselves." Luan stated.

Lynn looked hopeless. There's nothing she could do to get out of this situation. Luan placed a hand on Lynn's shoulder, "I want you to know that I support you. Even if Mom and Dad are gonna separate you two, I wouldn't let them. As Louds, we need to stay together."

Lynn gave Luan a small smile. "Thanks, Luan. You're right, I should be responsible."
She stood up, opened the door, and walked out. She hoped Lincoln wouldn't stop her from finally telling their parents. She cautiously walked past his room. Then silently tiptoeing down the stairs. She checked the area and saw Lola and Lana watching tv on the couch, no Lincoln in sight. She slowly continued down the stairs thinking she was in the clear.

"Oh hey Lynn!" Lincoln greeted from the kitchen.

Lynn froze in place, "Darn it. I forgot to check the kitchen." She whispered to herself.

She pivoted around and greeted Lincoln with a warm smile. "Hey Linc."

"What're you doing down here?" Lincoln asked.

Lynn avoided his gaze to think of an excuse. "Ummmmm... Just to watch tv."

Lincoln looked at her quizzically, "From behind the couch?"

Lynn took notice to how she was closer to their parents room than to the tv. "Crap." She thought. "Ok. I was going to talk to Mom and Dad."

"Something about practice?" Lincoln asked.

Lynn looked down, "No. About the fight."

Lincoln's features dropped. "W-what?"

"Wait a minute. There was a fight?" Lola asked hearing what Lynn said.

"Oh cool! Was it a boxing match? School fight? Mud wrestling?" Lana asked excited.

"No." Lynn silently answered.

Lincoln looked at her worried. "Why not just not tell them? We moved on from the problem, why cause more?"

"I think it might be better for me to tell Mom and Dad." Lynn said looking down.

"But Lynn, what if they never let me see you again?" Lincoln asked worried.

Lynn shrugged, "I have to be responsible for my mistakes. I opened up to you, now I need to tell the truth."

Before Lincoln could stop her, she rushed to their parents door and opened it.
Her parents looked at her. "Hey hon, did you like the carnival?" Mrs. Loud asked.

Lynn timidly nodded, "Yeah it was fun. Um..I have to tell you guys something."

Her parents faced her with their full attention, sensing she was about to tell them something bad. "What is it?" Mr. Loud asked.

Lynn fiddled with her thumbs. "Lincoln didn't fall down the stairs."

Mrs. Loud put her hands on her hips, "Then what really happened?"

Seeing her mother and father scolding her made it harder for Lynn to continue. "I fought him."

Her parents looked appalled, they figured she did something like kicking a soccer ball at him which knocked him down the stairs or something like that. But an actual fight was beyond their expectations. "You fought him?!" Mr. Loud repeated.

"I got mad because he threw away my favorite soccer jersey." Lynn added with difficulty.

"Lynn do you understand that you forced your little brother to go to the hospital?" Mrs. Loud asked.

Lynn silently nodded.

"Lynn that's your little brother. You're supposed to protect, and love him like all of your other siblings." Mr. Loud stated.

"I know." Lynn replied in a small tone.

"You don't ever fight any of your siblings! Especially not like that!" Mr. Loud added.

Lynn looked small as she held her arms.

"As a big sister to him, you should know better. He got really hurt from what you did." Mrs. Loud said.
Lynn began crying, scolding from her parents was something she would cry about since she was a toddler.

"That was a selfish thing you did. You should've known your brother is worth more than any jersey." Mr. Loud said. "I can't even think about a punishment for this."

Lynn looked at her parents desperately, "Look I don't care about the punishments or if I'm gonna get grounded. Just please don't separate Lincoln and I. I don't want to live without seeing him ever again. I promise it won't ever happen again!"

Her parents looked at her confused. "What're you talking about, Lynn?" Mr. Loud asked.

"I know you two were gonna keep me away from him forever once you found out." Lynn replied.

Mr and Mrs. Loud exchanged looks. "Honey, we would never keep you away from your brother. We wouldn't keep you away from any of your siblings!" Mrs. Loud stated.

Lynn sniffed, "You wouldn't?"

"No! We are a family. Family sticks together." Mrs. Loud stated.

Lynn felt relief wash over her like a raging river. She was so happy to hear that she wouldn't be kept away from her brother.

"But that doesn't mean you aren't going to be punished, young lady!" Mrs. Loud continued.

"That's fine, as long as I can still see Lincoln." Lynn replied.

"I'm glad you're fine with it, because that means no more sports for two weeks." Mr. Loud said.

That felt like she was hit by a wrecking ball. No more sports? For two weeks? That sounded like torture. "How am I gonna stay in shape?" Lynn asked devastated.

Mr. Loud shrugged, "Home exercises?

Lynn sighed. "Can't say I don't deserve it."

Lincoln waited next to the couch with a million questions running through his mind. He was too fixated on what was going to happen that he couldn't hear the conversation even though it was loud enough for the rest of the sisters to hear in the house. He stopped his thinking once Lynn walked out of the room with her head down. Lincoln rushed to her with concern filling his every action. "Lynn! What happened?! Will I only get to see you on Fridays? Sunday's? Would they even allow visits?!" He was starting to hyperventilate from the panic.

Lynn placed a hand on his mouth. She laughed a little, "They aren't keeping us apart, Lincoln."

Lincoln took her hand off his mouth and stared at her confused. "But why did you leave the room looking sad?"

"Cause I can't play any sport for the next two weeks." Lynn replied.

"Ouch. Are you gonna be alright?" Lincoln asked.

"I think I'll manage." Lynn reassured.

Lincoln let out a breath of relief. "Well at least we don't need to worry anymore."

"Yeah. We can finally relax. I just gotta find a way to not go mad crazy without playing sports." Lynn joked.

"I'm sure you'll find a way. Even if you don't I'm here to help." Lincoln said.

"Thanks." Lynn replied. She walked back to her room, noticing Lola and Lana were in disbelief from what they heard.

Luan was sitting by her door wincing a little. "How'd it go?" She asked.

"It went pretty well. Aside from the fact that I'm prohibited from playing sports for two weeks." Lynn replied.

"I'm sorry you have to take a break from sports, Lynn. I know it's your thing and you love everything about them." Luan said.

Lynn waved her hand, "Ah it's fine. I can use the free time to stay around all of you guys."

Luan smiled. "I'll come up with plenty of jokes to keep you laughing so you won't be bored."

"Can't wait." Lynn replied smiling.
Luan walked back to her room to get started on her jokes. Lynn plopped into her bed and sighed in a relaxed way.

"No sports, huh?" Lucy asked.

"No sports." Lynn repeated.

"How are you gonna manage?" Lucy asked again.

Lynn rolled over on her back and looked up at the ceiling. "I dunno. Maybe I can do what you guys do. Keep myself occupied with all of your hobbies."

"I doubt mine would help you. But if you ever wanna turn to the dark side you can let me know." Lucy offered.
Lynn laughed, "I dunno about the black get up and what not, but maybe a little poetry could help."

"Maybe some music too?" Luna spoke up suddenly.

Lynn looked at the door and saw Leni, Lori, and Luna standing there. "We're all willing to make sure you don't go crazy. Even if it'll take the other girls a little longer to come around." Lori said.

"That's great. But how am I gonna do all of your hobbies at once?" Lynn asked.

"We can do separate days." Leni offered.

"Yeah, we can talk about boys for you on Monday." Lori said.

"I could help you with fashion Tuesday." Leni said.

"I can get the music flowing through your veins on Wednesday." Luna offered.

"We can write poems Thursday." Lucy added.

Luan popped out from the side of Lori. "I can make you laugh on Friday."

Lynn's heart melted from the kindness of her siblings. She might not like any of their hobbies but she was willing to try them as long as her sisters offered.

She hopped off of her bed and exchanged looks with her sisters. "I'm really happy that you guys are willing to help me out."

Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, and Lucy all swarmed her in an incomplete family hug. "We're happy to help, sis." Luna said.

"I love you guys." Lynn replied.

"We love you too." The rest of them said in unison.
