Big Chill was currently flying through Royal Woods invisible and hold a plastic shopping bag labeled "Comic-relief." Big Chill then reached the Loud house and landed behind the trash cans on the side of the house. The watch symbol started to beep red as Big Chill turned back to normal.

Lincoln entered the house and took a comic book out of the bag and turned to the audience "Man this watch is the best! I was just able to fly to the comic book store on the other side of the town and get the new Ace Savvy comic and I didn't need to ask Lori for a ride. See Lori is the only Loud child with a driver's license, so in this house there's no such thing as a free ride. She always made us do her chores or homework for a ride. But for me, not anymore."

However before Lincoln could enter his room Lori stepped in behind him. "Hey bro, I heard the comic book store just got the new Ace Savvy comic in stock. So I'm going to cut you a deal, do my laundry and I'll give you a ride."

Lincoln then gave a sly smile and showed Lori the comic. "Actually I already got the new issue so no need."

Lori's eyes widened as she dropped the van keys. "Wha-wha-what, how?!"

"Oh I have my ways." Lori then gave a quiet growl as she picked up the keys and went into her room "See what I mean?"

Lincoln then saw Leni walking up the stairs holding a laundry basket full of bed sheets and pillow cases. As Leni got to the top she tripped and dropped the basket spilling all the sheets and cases. Lincoln threw the comic into and his room and started to help Leni pick up the sheets. "Thanks Lincoln." The two then finished putting the sheet back into the basket

"So what are you doing Leni?"

Leni then looked down and sighed. "I need a ride to the mall, so Lori told me to make her bed so I grabbed some clean sheets and pillow cases from downstairs."

As Leni was explaining Lori came out of her room and saw Lincoln helping Leni with some sheets and pillow cases. "Leni, what are you doing?"

Leni then gained a confused expression "You told me to make your bed so I got some clean sheets and cases form downstairs."

Lori's eyes then widen "O-Oh, ok."

Leni for even more confused "Why, it was you who told me to do it."

Lori suddenly started to chuckle lightly "Its just that, I kinda expected you to literally make my bed. I kinda forgot to be specific."

Leni gave a hard glare to Lori and lightly growled "Well maybe I actually know what I'm doing ever think of that!"

Lori flinched at Leni's sudden outburst "Ok, sheesh sorry, no need to snap." Lori then went back into her and Leni's room.

Leni then let out a deep sigh and fell to the floor. Lincoln sat down next to Leni and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder "Sorry Leni."

Leni then looked at Lincoln and gave a light smile "It's fine, sorry you had to see that."

"Don't worry about it. But wait, why are you doing chores for Lori? Aren't you old enough to drive yourself to mall?"

Leni sighed and looked down "Yeah, but I failed the driving test 12 times. Everyone's given up on teaching me. Dad' still mad about the Fire Hydrant Paperboy Nun Incident."

Lincoln shivered as he remembered Leni's last driving lesson with dad. "But Leni, you've grown so much since then. You, me and dad helped in taking down alien robots, mad scientist and poachers. I'm sure if you just put a little more effort into it I'm sure you can get you license like that." Lincoln snapped his fingers as Leni giggled.

"Thanks, but how can you teach me, you can't drive"

Lincoln simply chuckled and held up his wrist "I sorta do, but we should ask dad first."


"You wanna what?!" Lynn Sr asked as he was shocked by his kid's request.

"I want to help Leni learn to drive. Please dad you've seen how much she's grown since the last driving incident, I promise you she can do this."

Lynn Sr sighed and scratched the back of his head "I'm just not sure son, you can't even drive a car, how can you help?" Lincoln then gestured at Leni and his father to follow him.

The two followed Lincoln into the garage with all the doors and windows shut and covered. "So what are you going to do sport?"

Lincoln then activated the watch and slammed it down. Orange tattoos then started to cover Lincoln. "Upgrade!"

After the transformation was complete Upgrade merged with the van turning it black with orange circuitry. "Get in!"

Leni proceeded to get in the driver's seat with Lynn Sr in the passenger seat. "So how's this going to work Lincoln?" Leni asked as Upgrade's head appeared in front of the wheel.

"Easy, Leni learns and gets used to the controls while I keep the van on the road. As Leni learns the controls I'll give her more control over the van." Upgraded explained as Leni gained a giant smile on her face

"Lincoln that's genius!"

"It could work, you sure you know what you're doing Lincoln?"

Upgrade then moved his head over in front of his dad "Yep. Besides if the Van does break I can just fix it."

Lynn Sr then sighed and looked at Leni "Alright sweet heart I'll give you another chance but if this fails I just can't take anymore, understood?" Leni then gained a serious expression and nodded her head "Alright Lincoln, where do we start?"

Upgrade shifted his face resemble a smiley emoticon "Alright first of all, start the van." Leni then put the keys into the ignition and started the Upgraded Vanvilla "Hehe that tickles."

Lynn Sr opened up the glove compartment and took a remote out, Lynn Sr pressed the button on it with opened the garage door. "Alright sweetie, now, put the van in drive." Leni put her hand on the gear shift and turned it to the D. Lynn Sr's eyes widen as he saw his daughter successfully preform the action without any problems 'wow, it usually takes her a few minutes to understand that. Maybe she was improved.' Lynn Sr thought as he smiled proudly. "Alright sweetie, now pull out."


Lori was currently collecting the favors her siblings did for her and looked and her bed and noticed something "What's taking Leni so long to make my bed." Lori left her room and saw the laundry basket Leni was holding sitting in the hallway. "Where did Leni go?" Lori then heard vanzilla's engine and headed outside. When she got onto the porch she saw Vanzilla driving down the street and rolled her eyes "Is dad seriously teaching Leni how to drive again. When is he gonna realize that Leni's completely hop…wait, what's up with the vans paint job?"


Leni was currently driving down Royal Woods Avenue at a steady pace "Wow Leni you're doing great." Leni smiled at her father's praise

"Thanks dad. I guess ever since all this...crazy stuff started, I've begun to focus more on the task at hand you know. I mean look at everything we did ever since you got that watch Lincoln. Robot attacks from space, Poachers and lake monsters it's all just so…intense and if I can't focus then…" Lynn Sr and Upgrade looked at each other with worried looks (as much of a worried look as Upgrade could give that is) and looked at Leni "I guess I've just learned to…focus is all."

Leni drove some more as her father gave her instructions on what to do. Although he struggled at certain parts she managed to keep the van steady and one the road. "Leni I'm so proud of you. And Lincoln I'm sorry I doubted you." Upgrade then morphed his hand in front of Lynn Sr and gave him a thumbs up.

"Thanks dad. You know this is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I just need to focus."

Upgrade then made a smiley face again "See, I told you, you could do it Leni."

"Alright Leni I think it's time we headed back." Leni nodded as she turned the van around.

Upgrade suddenly unmerged from the van and sat down in the back seat. The watch symbol started to beep red as Upgrade turned to normal. "Alright let's head back."

Leni and Lynn Sr gasped as they saw Lincoln return to normal "Lincoln! What are you doing, I thought you were supposed to help me drive?!"

Lincoln started to lightly chuckle "Leni, you did so much better then you thought…I didn't do a thing!" Leni's mouth gaped as Lincoln made his announcement.

"What do you mean son?" Lynn Sr said as he scratched his head in confusion. "Leni did all that herself, I was really just there for moral support I didn't control the van at all."

"So…you lied to me?"

"Well, yes and no. I didn't control the van at any point during your lesson but if things got out of control I was gonna take control. Leni I had total faith in you, that's why I didn't do anything."

Leni then gave a small smile at Lincoln. "Thanks, Lincoln. Alright, let's go home."


THE LOUD HOUSE

Leni parked Vanzilla into the garage as the three got out "Wow that felt…amazing! I can't wait for my test tomorrow." Leni said as she skipped back into the house.

"Wow, she really has come a far way." Lynn Sr then noticed Lincoln was thought in thought as he looked at the ground "Hey sport what's wrong?" Lincoln was brought back into reality as he heard his father's voice.

"Oh, um, nothing. I was just think about that stuff Leni told us in the van is all, you know all that stuff about needing to learn to stay focused and all."

"Yeah she seemed pretty...serious when she said that huh."

Lincoln rubbed his arm and looked down "Should we see if she's ok?"

Lynn Sr shook his head lightly in response "No, I'm sure she's ok. Things have been pretty intense lately so she probably needs some time to process everything is all."


THAT NIGHT

Lincoln was currently sleeping in his bed soundly. However he soon started to stir and sat up on his bed and yawn. He lightly coughed a few times "Need some water." Lincoln then got up and headed downstairs.

However as he got down he saw Leni in her PJ's curled up into a ball on the couch "Leni?"

Leni shot up as she heard Lincoln's voice "Oh, hey Lincoln. Why are you up so late?"

"I could ask you the same thing, what's wrong?"

Leni sat back down on the couch and sighed "Nothing just…stressed about my driver's test tomorrow is all."

Lincoln gained a confused expression at Leni's claim "How come, you did so well today."

"I know it's just…I guess I'm just scarred is all."

Lincoln grew a little worried "How come?" Lincoln asked as he sat down next to her.

"Well, I guess it's not so much the driving test I'm scarred but what's going to happen afterwards." Lincoln grew more confused. "Well if I pass this time that means I'm taking another stage in life, that I'm, moving forward, I'm just scarred of what, not really myself but what we will move into."

"Like what?"

"Like what we're going to get ourselves involved in. Think about ever since you got that watch everything's been…crazy. Killer robots, Lake Monsters, armed robberies. And you're always getting yourself involved. I'm proud that you're doing such a great job and helping people just to help them but…I'm scarred that you'll get involved in something that…you won't come back from."

Lincoln immediately wrapped Leni up into a tight hug "I'm sorry Leni. I didn't realize that I was making you worry so much."

Leni returned the hug Lincoln was giving her and gave a small smile "its fine. I just promise me you won't get into more than you can handle."

Lincoln pulled away from the hug and nodded his head "I promise Leni. Now you should probably get back to sleep you got a test to ace in the morning."

Leni t chuckled as she got up "Yeah, you're right. Hey would it be ok if I slept in your room tonight?"

Lincoln looked back at Leni confused "How come?"

"While I was trying to fall asleep Lori tried to sabotage me by messing with my alarm clock and playing a recording of her giving bad advice." Lincoln silently growled as he looked upstairs

"Wow that's really low. Sure just get your stuff."


THE NEXT MORNING

Lincoln was currently pacing back and forth in front of the door. "What are you doing Lincoln?" Lincoln looked behind him and saw Lori looking at him with a confused expression.

"Just waiting for Leni to come back from her test with her new License."

Lori then looked at Lincoln suspiciously "Why do you care if she passes or not, I thought you 'had your ways."

Lincoln rolled his eyes in response "I do. But that doesn't mean I don't wanna help or support her."

Lori crossed her arms and smirked confidently "Well I wouldn't waste your time. Leni is doomed to fail like always."

Lincoln then glared angrily at his older sister "Oh really, what makes you so sure?!"

"Oh you know just a feeling."

Lincoln then gave a sly grin "Oh right, because you sabotaged her right?"

Lori's eyes widen "I-I have literally no idea what you're taking about." Lori said nervously as Lincoln crossed his arms.

"Oh Stuff it Lori, Leni told me all about how you tried to sabotage her!"

"Wha, h-how?!"

Lincoln then smiled confidently "You thought Leni wouldn't notice but she did. She slept in my room last night after you fell asleep. By the way dad would like to talk to you." Lincoln then pointed his thumb towards their parent's room. Lori looked down and growled as she headed towards her parents room.

After 30 minutes of waiting Lincoln was sitting on the couch as the door opened. Lincoln got up and saw that Leni had finally came home. Lincoln then ran in front of Leni and looked up for her "How did it go?"

Leni gave a sadden expression and looked down. Lincoln then did the same. However Leni pulled her head up and gave a giant smile "SURPRISE!"

Leni held up a driver's license with her photo and name. Lincoln's eyes widen as he looked at the license "Leni you did it! I knew you could!"

Leni then pulled Lincoln into a tight hug "I have you to thank for it." As Leni was hugging Lincoln the rest of their siblings came down stairs.

"Woah dudes, where's the fire?!" Luna asked as she came down.

"Leni show them."

"Girls check this out!" Leni put Lincoln down and held up her license. Her sister's eyes widen as they all gasped.

"Leni is that a driver's license?!" Lynn asked as she pointed towards it.

"Yep I can now legally drive."

The Loud sisters then cheered "Does that mean you can take us places now?!" Lola asked as he jumped up and down.

"You bet. And don't worry I won't make you do stuff like Lori. Just now I won't always be able to take you places ok?" Leni told everyone as they nodded.

"Thank goodness I couldn't write another poem about Bobby." Lucy stated while putting on a small smile.

"And now I don't have to waste my time doing Lori's homework, it was so easy I think it was actually making me dumber." Lisa added.

"Ok guys calm down give her, her space she just got home." Lincoln told everyone as he got in between Leni and the rest of his sisters.

"Yeah I'm sure Leni's tired right now, hahaha get it?" Everyone then groaned and rolled their eyes at Luans joke.

"So Leni have you thought about getting your own car one day?" Lana asked.

"Yeah actually, I saw this really cool car at the lot last week, its dark green with black stripes and it would be awesome to have that. But I could never afford it, maybe I could get a job and save up."

Lincoln's eyes widen as an idea came into his head. "Hey Leni me and dad are gonna go hang out, I'll see you later."

"Ok Linky have fun and thank you so much again."

Lincoln made his way to his parent's room and saw his dad doing something on his laptop "Hey dad, Leni did it!"

Lynn Sr stopped typing and faced his son "That's amazing, I should go congratulate her." Lynn Sr then got up and was about to head out to the living room but was stopped by Lincoln.

"I think you should to, but, can you give me a ride to a few places I wanna surprise Leni with something."


SHINING STARS JEWLERY

A skinny old man in a suit was currently polishing gems in a case right next to the counter. He put the gem down as he heard the door's bell ring "Hello what can I do fo…" The man froze when he saw who entered the shop.

Standing in the door was a 6 foot tall man made entirely of crystal wearing an orange and black skin tight suit. In the Crystal man hands was a giant piece of crystal similar to the crystal he was made, if not the exact same. The crystal man walked up to the counter and put the giant crystal down onto it.

"How much is this worth?"


THE LOUD HOUSE

Leni was currently on her phone telling all her friends how she passed her driving lesson. As she was talking she heard someone knocking on her door "COME IN!"

Lincoln then stepped into the room with a bright smile "Hey Leni what's up?" Lincoln asked as Leni hung up her phone.

"Just telling my friends that I can drive now. So how did your day with dad go?"

"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. While we were out we got you a little something." Leni then got off her bed a walked towards Lincoln "Really? What is it?" Lincoln then chuckled light "I'll show you but first, close your eyes."

Leni proceeded to close her eyes as Lincoln took her hand and led her through the house "So where are we going Lincoln?" Lincoln then led Leni downstairs "You'll see."

Lincoln proceeded to lead Leni outside to the driveway and stopped. "Ok open your eyes."

Leni then opened her eyes and gasp. In front of her was a sleek dark green car with two black stripes going over it. "L-L-Lincoln is that what I think it is." Lincoln then looked up at her sister and nodded "H-How." Lincoln reached into his pocket and pulled out a small blue crystal and handed it to Leni.

"I just dialed in a friend you could."

Leni then looked back at the car and shrieked with excitement and picked up Lincoln and hugged him "You're the best brother ever! How can I ever repay you?!"

Lincoln started grasp for breath as Leni loosened her grip "Don't sweat it sis. This is a gift no repayment required." Lincoln reached into his pocket once more and took out the keys to the car and handed them to "So wanna take it for a test drive?" Leni quickly took and keys and nodded as they headed into the car.
