Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru (updated)
Authors note: I've realized that Mrs. Johnson and Coach Pakowski should have behaved like responsible adults and shouldn't have approved of anyone buying the pies and throwing them at Lincoln
As Lincoln was being pelted by the vinegar and salt pies, he bore the hits in silence. After about the tenth pie struck him, he began yelling for his classmates and coach to stop, but they wouldn't listen.
Ten seconds later the Principal, Mr. Wilbur Huggins appeared at the scene.
"What's going on? Stop this right now," he commanded.
Everyone dropped the pies they held. Lincoln dropped to the ground in relief.
"Mrs. Johnson, Coach Pakowski, please explain what's going on?" he continued.
"Well, this is the business idea Lincoln and Clyde came up with, Principal Huggins," Mrs. Johnson began.
"And why would you approve of them starting such a business, Agnes?" Mr. Huggins asked with a frown.
Then Lincoln approached them and everyone including Clyde began turning up their noses.
"You smell man," Rusty Spokes blurted out and he and the other children departed rather quickly.
"Agnes, Lincoln, Clyde come with me into my office," the Principal demanded.
Once they arrived inside the Principals office, Lincoln was told to speak.
"Well you see Clyde and myself were going to make chocolate pies but we found out my chocoholic sisters ate all the chocolate. So we chose vinegar and soda to make the pies but were unable to sell any. Then we decided to make balloon animals, but that failed," he explained.
Clyde then spoke, "Then Lincoln decided to give romantic advice to our male classmates about girls since we believed that since he has ten sisters he should automatically be an expert on what girls want."
"Let me guess," Principal Huggins asked, "The advice you gave out backfired and the girls became angry at the boys because of it."
The two boys replied, "Yes."
"Then the guys and Coach Pakowski became furious at us and we had to hide from them. We managed to escape to Lincoln's house," Clyde said.
"Then we decided that our business idea would be to sell the salt and vinegar pies to the guys and Coach Pakowski and ask them to throw them at me as payback," Lincoln said.
"Hmm very unusual," Principal Higgins mused, "You can go now boys," he told them.
"Really," Lincoln said surprised, "We aren't in trouble."
The Principal chuckled, "No." As the two friends turned to leave, the Principal said,
"Wait, Lincoln I'll allow you to use my own bathroom in my office to wash off that smell then I'll ask your teacher to lend you clothes from the Lost and Found department for you to wear," he offered.
I'm giving you another chance to start another business project but first you have to return all the money by this afternoon."
"Thanks Principal Huggins," Lincoln responded.
Agnes and Tom, both of you are responsible for the well-being of your students while they're in school, Mr. Huggins continued.
Epilogue…
Lincoln and Clyde had to redo the business project, they decided to remake the chocolate pies but this time they kept the chocolate at Clyde's home and made the pies from there. Clyde's dads bought all the chocolate and pie shells. The boys received an A from Mrs. Johnson and surprisingly the other kids didn't make fun of Lincoln for getting pelted with the salt and vinegar pies.
