VI. LAST ACTIVITY

The previous day, Lincoln actually requested to Dr. Renzetti for the siblings to redo the spider web activity. Thus, they do it as their last activity. Currently, Lori, Lynn, Lola and Lincoln are attempting to lift a scared Leni out of the web, as Luna, Luan, Lucy and Lana are delivering her to them, while Lisa is throwing out precision measures to avoid hitting the rope. And unsurprisingly, they argue with each other, much to Mr. and Mrs. Loud's dismay.

"Ignore what I just assured yesterday," Mrs. Loud comments.

"Maybe it's not that bad," Mr. Loud defends.

She then points out to Dr. Renzetti about the growing matter, "Can you explain this doc?""

Well, Lincoln insists on doing it," Dr. Renzetti cowardly answers, making Rita give a sharp glare at him.

Back at the Loud children, their situation revolve mostly on arguing tangents of how must they execute the spider-web activity. They resemble more as scoffs than arguments. But this is how they roll.

So, Lincoln defends this case to the readers, "Oh, we're not fighting. We're just arguing with how to bring Leni to the other side. If you think our shouting is confusing enough."

But Lori, who is carrying Leni, interrupts him, "Lincoln, we need a hand here. Not literally speaking."

"Oh sorry," Lincoln says as he returns to carrying Leni to their side. But he accidentally steps on Lynn's foot.

"Hey! Lincoln!" Lynn spouts.

"Sorry!" Lincoln quickly replies, but steps on his sister's foot again."Hey! Why'd you do that?!"

"Sorry! I had to maintain balance."

"Beat it! Or I'll beat you!"

"Will you two stop squealing? I'm taking the muscle here!" Lola says while struggling to hold on to Leni."What do you mean you're taking the muscle? I'm the muscles here," Lynn argues.

"Oh yeah?! Then explain why am I carrying the heavy part?!"

"Will all of you literally shut it?!" Lori insists.

"Not unless Linc here admits stepping on my foot on purpose and Lola stops being the muscle for once," Lynn argues.

"Hey! Do you want us to repeat or not?!" Lola berates.

"I don't want to repeat this! I hate going through a spider-web again!" Leni utters in panic.

"Just literally shut your pie-hole, Leni!" Lori scolds her, "Just keep still!"

"Ohh yeah, keep still while you guys keep something from me!" Leni retorts in misunderstanding.

"What's going on there, dudes?" Luna inquires as she, Luan, Lucy and Lana struggle on getting through the web, "Help us with Leni getting to the other side!"

Meanwhile, Lisa is determining their actions through her precise instructions, but Lana finds them distracting. "Will you cut to the chase, Lisa?" she coaxes.

"Will you quit that, Lana? Do you want all of us to repeat?" Lisa reasons out, "You need to discern these instructions.""If that's the case, why don't you join us carry Leni?" Lana rebukes.

"Guys, do we need to use our voices for this?" Luan argues, "We are carrying a ton-e, you know. Hehe. Get it?" The siblings groan at Luan's dumb pun. "But seriously, we are carrying a ton here."

"Well, why don't you start it by not penetrating our focus and letting us finish this?" Lucy points out.

"We need to have pun for once," Luan defends.

"Ohh come on. Will you stop it?!" Luna scolds them.

Then the whole course of the activity turns into another shouting match between each Loud sibling, except for Lily. Even after such an endearing evening, Mr. and Mrs. Loud are confounded that their children revert back to their scolding selves. Dr. Renzetti even has the same reaction, only mildly.

"Well, you know what they say, there's no…" Mr. Loud admits, but Mrs. Loud stops him.

"Just hold it right there dear," Mrs. Loud insists begrudgingly, "I'm going inside for more Arabica coffee."

"Oh sure, me too," Mr. Loud proposes as he catches up with his wife. "Want some coffee, doc?"

"Oh sure," Dr. Renzetti answers.

Hours passed for the siblings to finish the spider-web activity, and finally during sunset that they let through Leni, who is the second to the last person to go to the other side. The last sibling remaining is Lisa.

"Okay, Lisa, just stay foot. We'll think of a way to get you through," Lincoln affirms.

"Not to worry, my kind brethren," Lisa assures, "I will attempt a precise physical lower limb calisthenics to get through the infamous spider web."

"Ohh I see. You're up to your no-brainer science thingamajigs," Lynn assumes.

"It is really a no-brainer, Lynn," Lisa points out. "Now, stand back, kinsfolk."

As they do what Lisa requests, the Loud sisters collectively throw in their concerns for Lisa. But the 4-year-old genius just simply goes through a hole and crosses the web simply without touching its ropes. The siblings are shock in this feat.

"I told you it is a no-brainer," Lisa sarcastically implies, which prompts for the Loud children to celebrate in victory.

"Good job guys!" Lincoln commends his sisters, leading them to praise each other, despite the setbacks earlier.

"Finally! After years, victory's ours!" Lynn applauds.

"Yeah, not much victory for our own," Lucy points out, but not burn the fun, "We are all covered in odor."

Lola then smells her dress, which is covered in sweat from the whole day activity. "Lucy's got a point."

"Well, not for me 'cause the smell never bothered me anyway," Lana shares.

"Is that meant to be a joke Lana?" Lola asks.

"Not for me it ain't," Lana snaps back.

"Well, race you all to the bathroom!" Luan boasts before she dashes to the bathroom, right before her sisters race to compete who gets the bathroom slot for shower. But Lincoln and Lori leave behind.

The older Loud sibling then pats his shoulder and embraces him again. "Thanks for being a wonderful bro," she praises him.

"You don't need to say that, Lori," Lincoln assures, "I know your heart." Then they both return to hugging.

After that, Lori lets go off him and rubs his hair before entering the house. But Lincoln stays behind.

"Aren't you literally coming back in?" Lori asks.

"Go ahead. I'll watch the sunset for a little while," Lincoln tells his sister, as she enters the house, exchanging smiles with him before she does so.

On the occurrence of such a golden sunset – a sign that Lincoln sees as hope – Lincoln addresses the readers for one last time: "Well, that's a brawl solved. And more to go in the future. But it's okay. We are family. We have to argue sometimes, but not because we want to be the correct person, but because we need to settle for the correct reason. That is what families must do: compromise. Indeed, we realized that each of us are really different. But that should not stop us from compromising. Because we are family. And families love each other. That is treasure for me. For where my treasure is, there my heart will be also. Nothing beats the love within a family. And to those out there who hasn't seen this in their families, or who has no families at all, it is best to show love. Sooner or later, it will pay off. That's a promise. And that's all I need. Really, it is something I need to treasure in the future."

The End

Eventually…

"…And yes I was right," Lincoln utters, alone in his cabin. Lincoln is currently in summer camp against his wishes. Initially, it was intended for the Loud children to participate in the Scratchy Bottoms fun camp jamboree. But it was discovered that the camp was officiated by the Girl Scouts; thus only girls were allowed. With that said, the girls went to the camp without Lincoln. And as for the only brother, he was brought instead to another camp called MCP Camp, a worldwide jamboree that packs 200 aspiring campers in an exclusive stay in Yellowstone Park. Thankfully, he was joined by Clyde but he was segregated to another group, much to Lincoln's dismay.

Lincoln is about to unload his stuff as a way to pass the time. Eventually, he stumbles upon the white shirt that his sisters and his parents wrote messages on. He shakes the shirt to unveil a drawing of a heart at the center of the shirt and the wonderful messages that were imprinted:

Lori: "Hey Linc, from your meanest sister here. It literally took me a lifetime to say this. I cannot leave without a brother like you. Stay faithful. Stay loyal. Stay happy. Stay being Lincoln. I love you. (And don't you dare break Ronnie Anne's heart.). You're a good man, Lincoln Loud."

Leni: "Ohhh Lincy, my fashion buddy. It is like so thrilling that you are my brother. No other boy in this world ever know me like you do. I have a lot of outfits for you that I am sure girls would just fall over. But don't let go off Ronnie Anne. Thanks bro for everything." (Ended with a heart smiley)

Luna: "Rock on, dude! It's so awesome to have you as my bro. With all the jams we had and the more jams to come, you were awesome. Sorry that I haven't got much time with you. Too busy to fulfillin' dreams. Well, you know what Steven Tyler says: 'Dream on!' You too bro. Dream on! Thanks as well for making me fulfill your first concert. Peace out!"

Luan: "Spreading the laugh, Linc. Get it? Thanks Linc for being the best clown assistant and joke adviser ever. Never thought I would get this far as a comedienne without your help, and so are the rest of our sisters. Promise, I'll try to make April Fools special for you. *laughs* Love you!"

Lynn: "Not good in words, bro. But I'll say this. You such a great sparring partner. It's great to have you, Lincoln. I am such a proud sister to have a lazy bone of a brother. Such a hurdle to sprint to. Just whatever trouble you are in, we'll be there for you. From Lynn with a nudge to your arm."

Lucy: "My stagnant heart would never beat without my art

And you were there to lend a hand from the very start

My fears and sorrows, faded away to oblivion I see

From the angels you brought with prosperity

You were the light when in my dampest dark

When no touch I feel and no sight to leave a mark

Thank you Lincoln for being a caring brother

Behalf of us sisters, you compared like no other."

Lana: "My only brother. Glad I can count on someone who loves me for loving mud, my exotic pets and my handyman skills. Thanks by the way for an awesome Halloween. I really wanna spend time with you, dear brother. Me and Lola. – Lana."

Lola: "Linky, thank for being there in my beauty pageants. It's weird that my brother is the one who supports me in my pageants. Still, cool. And love it. It's hard, yes, that I'm a meanie to you and every one of you. But I will try to be nice because you have been nice to me. Thanks Linky!"

Lisa: "Dear Lincoln, this activity is truly against my design as a living and breathing component of the human society. But nevertheless, I want to express my gratitude for being a commendable sibling figure and a reliable role model. I genuinely praise you. – Lisa Marie Loud."

Lynn Sr.: "Sonny boy, words aren't enough to express how proud I am to you. Indeed, I see some trouble from you. But you're still young. And you have a lot to turn. And a lot of time for me to show you life and the ways of being a real man. I and your mother love you Lincoln!"

Rita: "Dear my sweet Lincoln, it is amazing how you turn out from the day of your birth. You're such a sweet angel, and your presence (along with your sisters) gives me inspiration. There's a lot for you in life. I and your father cannot wait for what will come for you. We are looking forward for you. We're sorry for the hard stuff you've been through. And we know we are strict sometimes. But I hope you see it as for your own good. Let this be a reminder to you: let all that you do be done in love. Show love. We love you Lincoln. – From your dearest mother."

Lincoln flips the shirt behind to see an illustrated portrait of his family in a picture frame, drawn by Lola and Lana. The 11-year-old finds every mark on his shirt very touching. With that, he slowly weeps in joy for the abundant love that his family gave to him, something he need for the day.

Just as he clutches the shirt to his arms, somebody suddenly calls him when the cabin door opens, "Lincoln, you're up now!"

It turns out to be Dipper Pines (from Gravity Falls), who enters the cabin with fellow squad members Connie Maheswaran (from Steven Universe) and Chloe Park (from We Bare Bears).

"You okay?" Dipper asks him.

"Yeah, just need a walk in memory lane," Lincoln says while sobbing.

"You sure you're gonna be okay dear?" Connie asks in concern.

"Yeah," Lincoln assures.

"Here," Connie then lends a handkerchief for Lincoln to blow his nose on. But suddenly, he hugs Lincoln as he sobs. Even though this is much of an awkward moment, Connie pats his head in comfort. Dipper and Chloe follow along in sympathy. With that, the squad take a moment to comfort Lincoln, while the rest of Squad 19, which consists of Baljeet Tjinder (from Phineas and Ferb), Tulip (from Infinity Train), Jeff Randell (from Clarence), Janna (from Star vs. The Forces of Evil), Howard Weinerman (from Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja) and Gretchen (from Camp Lakebottom), are waiting in the assembly as other squads converge.
