Thanks everyone who took part in my growing directly or indirectly!
The ideas, problems and thoughts mentioned in this fanfic were taken from my head, which popped into it when I was reading different books, hearing various pieces of advice and having my life experience!

Almost all chapters are finished, I just need to edit a few details. After that, I'll be posting a chapter every few days, this will be fairly enough for me to finish the work completely.

*I would not recommend children under 14-16 years old to read this fanfic and not because of erotica or violence, but because of the vocabulary used and the topics raised here. You may understand neither of them.

Chapter 1: A Bait.

- No, Lisa, forget it, - said Lincoln after a relatively short conversation with his little sister. Lisa didn't change her face, but deep inside she still felt the same feeling that people have from time to time when "That almost worked out! What could possibly have gone wrong?". In a word, a disappointment. However, she would not give up.

And the reason for that behavior of hers was that for the past few days Lisa had been trying to convince Lincoln to join her newest Philosophy Club, which was open only for the Loud family and some friends of them. Lisa made various attempts to "recruit" Lincoln into her society, mostly "ideologically," which means this: she simply tried to explain to him in short words that her Club would be very useful for him and would develop his brain, and that if he visited it for a while, he would become the best of the best... Well, at least among his classmates!

Lincoln would refuse any her offer. No way for this to even happen! He wasn't interested in any gibberish like some childish «philosophy». By the way, this word combination would always cause a smile on Lincoln's face involuntarily, and no wonder: having seen different memes on the Internet, among which there were some about «intrauterine depression», some about «preschool fatigue from life», and so on, and so on. Having laughed heartily at them yourself, (and not once), you almost completely cease to take seriously this at first really just some childish nonsense, plucked by age. However, it may turn out sometimes that this is not a nonsense at all, and on the contrary the real problem, maybe pretty serious one, and such an approach in such cases can surely be classified as ignoring children's problems, as well as their thoughts on this matter, which is not good and will certainly give a bad parent away.

Lincoln had reached the stage where any mocked thing or situation could no longer be taken seriously, but, thank God, so far young Miss Lisa Loud had not had a single serious problem as such, except for another failed or thwarted experiment.

Lisa, among her other skills in the field of science, was truly a master of communication, which allowed her to have no difficulties talking to her peers or sometimes even to people much older than her. Communicating with different children of different ages, genders, minds and manners, she made psychological portraits of them (psychology was now her brand new hobby, to which she attached much importance, especially recently), and when one of such portraits was finished, she studied it in her free time from kindergarten and experiments.

Needless to say, that making such portraits of her own sisters and brother Lincoln was the easiest thing to do. Returning to the question of why Lisa chose and decided to invite Lincoln to her Club, the answer is quite simple. But the reader can familiarize with it personally during the today's story and at the end, most likely, will make own conclusions. I propose now to continue the narrative.

Lincoln was one of the first (and even the very first one) to visit Lisa's room. As part of the Club sessions, of course, for otherwise it had been examined hundreds of times by ten noisy kids of a rather loud house. As well as by their parents.

Lisa decided not to back down, instead attacking Linc with the last weapon in her arsenal and perhaps the costliest of all.

Namely, bribery. She did not want to resort to this option, which she had deliberately postponed for the last and most extreme case, but the others had already been tried and failed.

- Well, Lincoln, perhaps you've convinced me after all. There's no point in asking you to join my Club. Of course, there isn't. I mean, who would ever think of wasting time, their most precious resource in this life, on some childish gibberish...? - She paused a little dramatically and then continued, - Perhaps, these comic books will never find their use in this world either. I'm just gonna go throw them out.

- Comic books? - was everything Lincoln could manage to say and Lisa, shaking her head with a satisfied smile (realizing that her bait had worked perfectly this time), pulled out a comic book from her pocket, folded up like a morning newspaper, and showed it to him, flipping through each page.

Oh, yeah. Linc knew exactly what kind of comic book it was. His eyes lit up, and he got really excited. It was a rare Ace Savvy comic book, a 50th anniversary edition of the Ace Savvy comic book series with a limited 100 copies edition! He had heard a lot about this one, but he had never been able to get his hands on such a rarity among comic book fans. But how did Lisa manage to obtain it and where from? After all, this comic book is already 20 years old, and for such a long time, no doubt, all the copies were sold out long ago and the one who managed to buy it almost got rich on it later.

Lincoln was unaware of this, as well as of the fact that in those relatively distant times a scanner was already available and anyone who could find a way to scan any antique fiction in possession, whether it was the same limited edition of comic books, or rare but very valuable textbooks and also various ancient books, which exceeded 100, and sometimes even 500 years, for surely there was such kind of an old literature existing; anyone who could scan all this, found the same «unclear» way to put the whole thing on the Internet, someone asked for some money in order to give the access to it, someone - quite a huge sum, but most of them simply gave a public access to everyone and anyone.

Lisa, knowing Lincoln's weakness for Ace Savvy comics in general, and in particular for old comics about the same superhero, just searched the whole Internet for the potential "bait". Eventually she did find it, and then, visiting a local print shop, asked for one hard copy. To objections that this is a clear violation of copyrights and that such a thing is prosecuted by law, yet she didn't manage to respond so convincingly that they would print her a hard copy in color, and therefore left this place with nothing.

Lisa returned home much to her dismay at the failure and not knowing what to do now and just sat down on the sofa. The other sisters, Lori, Leni and Lynn, who were in the room at that very moment, saw her and asked her what was wrong. She complained that the Philosophy Club was still empty yet no one wanted to become its member and at that very moment an idea popped into Lori's head. She suggested Lisa to go to Lincoln, since she hadn't pestered him with her annoying invitations yet (of course, this was said in a different way under a different pretext). Lisa's face immediately changed, she became thoughtful, and then a plan was born in her mind.

She shared her plan with the girls, who agreed to help her with it. Right after discussing the plan and agreeing with them on it, Lisa went to another print shop and bought paper that is mainly used for printing comic books on it. After this she returned home with paper and, more importantly, with a clear idea of how to proceed next. She thought long and hard about how she could assure Lincoln that the comic book was an original and not a fake one.

In the end, she took advantage of the fact that modern teenagers do not even know how people used to live 20 years ago and it was possible that Lincoln would take her next idea at face value and wouldn't even blink an eye. After talking with Lori (after all, she was the oldest sister in the house and obviously knew her siblings better than any of the younger Louds), Lisa was sure that everything would work out just fine.

What Lisa did afterwards was that she started carrying out her plan using the old home laser black-and-white printer which Lynn had helped Lisa to bring into her room, (so to say, it was pretty old and therefore very heavy) and on which Lisa printed out a comic book. Then she asked Leni to staple the printed sheets to finish it.

Next, she headed to her room and waited for a convenient moment for Lincoln to come home, which he did a little while later.

Back to the present moment, Lisa handed the comic book to Lincoln so that he could see it himself and make sure it was «authentic». He examined it from both sides and under different angles, looked at the cover, and all the while his face was a mixture of immense joy and a little doubt.

- Cool! But why is it black and white? - he asked naively.

- Just look at the release date, - Lisa replied triumphantly. He looked at the back of the comic and read: «Signed for printing: 10.05.1997. Print run: 100 copies. Limited Edition».

- Ahh. - Lincoln stretched out, - The nineties. I see now, - then his eyes were lit up again, - That's great! Pretty hard to find the one like this though. Where'd you get it?

He fell for it! It is truly surprisingly easy to fool uninformed people, Lisa thought, having achieved her goal. He asked her where she got the comic book. And if that was the case, then he could be told anything to find out where it came from!

- Well, you know, we are philosophers, - began Lisa, - we've got a ton of waste paper of all kinds of unnecessary junk since we study everything, every idea, some different opinions and broaden the mind horizons at the same time. We don't care how old this may be as long as we get our portion of new knowledge about the world and culture.

- But where do you get such rarities?
- That's a trade secret, - Lisa replied with a wink, - but if you join us today, you can study all this junk too!

Lincoln was greatly surprised and even a little hurt by that word - junk? Any self-respecting art appreciator would pay a fortune for this «junk»! But Lisa, and Lincoln was sure of it, had gotten it for nothing, yet she didn't even need it! No way he is going to miss such an opportunity! To study old comics, which he, Lincoln, had never read, but which he had heard of plenty of times and would really like to get close to them? That's quite an idea! It would only bring him closer to his long-held dream...

Yes, why not, he thought and then said:

- Deal!

- Great. I'll be waiting for you today at 3 o'clock.

- Isn't that five minutes from now?

- Oh, right. Anyway, come on over.

After that, Lisa went to her room «for the last preparations». Before doing so, as soon as she entered the room, she laughed loudly, Lily heard it and looked at her questioningly.

- Soon you'll find this out for yourself, the youngest sibling, - Lisa answered her, - The hour is coming when there will be twice, three times, a hundred times more conscious thinking people than there are now! And it will start with me and our only big brother Lincoln!

Lily didn't understand what was being said, shrugged her little shoulders, and crept out of the room to explore the big house as usual.

- Who needs you here anyway! - Lisa snickered, - It's okay. When she grows up, I'll bring her here too. So, what do we got here...?

- I'm here! - said Lincoln, who appeared in the doorway.

- Ah! You're already here? - Lisa asked, surprised at how fast these five minutes had flown by. Lincoln shook his head positively in response.

- Just give me one more minute, okay? I'll call you later, - she said kindly and, after Lincoln left the room, closed the door. After a couple of minutes, having checked everything that needed and could be checked during that time, she finally finished what she had been working on for the last week – her plan of further actions.

Thanks for reading this till the end! Don't be afraid to point out any mistakes, agreement/disagreement with some of the ideas (or with the fanfic as a whole), I'd only be happy to receive your feedback!

The next chapter will probably come out in a few days.
