Lincoln was at that moment arriving at his current house, just to his right was sitting fascinated Edie with a guitar in front of her, leaning it against the instrument panel just above the glove compartment, she was tuning it very carefully and seemed very happy, almost In the euphoria, they had bought the electric guitar at a garage sale when they were returning; Bed saw her and couldn't help but ask her father to stop by to see if there was anything they liked that he could buy.
1
It wasn't a very busy or long-lasting sale, the four of them got off and went to see what they could find; Incidentally, Lincoln was going to buy something for everyone as a gift, since if he bought something for Liena, Bed and Edie, the others would surely be upset at not receiving anything from him.
The house seemed to belong to a very wealthy person, he was probably going through a relapse in his actions or he was fired, although thanks to that they found a very good garage sale with many items on sale.
Bed falls in love with a pink fanny pack that belonged to the wife of the owner of the house, it was bigger than his fanny pack and seemed to be able to hold more things, including a pocket just for his cell phone.
Liena, on the other hand, chose a recipe book or rather a collection of recipe books, there were a total of 10 that already came in their original box or purchase package, Lincoln wanted to recommend something more interesting like a very pretty dress; but Liena refused and said that she alone wanted these books, that she would show him why she wanted them.
Then Edie, she didn't seem to want anything and kept standing next to the vehicle, it was as if she was saying that she had no right to receive a gift, but Lincoln was not going to be like his idiot father who never gave him anything except photos of How much fun they had on vacation without him.
So choosing for her, she began to search through the tables and things until she found what she thought she would like. She heard from Liena that Edie was a music lover, that like Luna and Sam she loved Rock, so she thought that you would like that guitar; The owner of the house said that that guitar was going to be for his son, but he ended up becoming a Gamer, then he would start telling him all about his misadventures with his rebellious son who was not going to look for a job.
1
Lincoln wasn't going to admit that it was strange to hear a stranger complain about his son, but at least he was also able to talk about his misfortunes with his family, since the man asked him about the cut on his cheek, which Lincoln admitted was an Ex Psychotic with alcohol and drug problems.
3
Now returning to the present, Edie was in love with that guitar that her father gave her, it didn't even look used; In simple words she was a virgin who longed to be touched in front of a huge audience.
Lincoln thought that she was that happy about her new guitar, but that was only part of it. What made her happier was that when Lincoln gave it to her and told her that it was for her, he also said "... I hope to hear you play it, I'm sure you do great."
Right now Edie was excited to show her musical skills to her father, to see what he thought of her, although she was also nervous about doing it wrong, so first she had to practice a little and then she would show him her talent.
When they arrived at the house, everyone got out of the van very happy, everyone except Lincoln who had to get everything down alone since his daughters forgot to help him out of the joy of the gifts, but luckily and bad luck for Lincoln when he opened the door. back to take things out one by one, since he was alone, suddenly the youngest members of the family began to run out of the house and then walking behind them were the older ones, among whom walking ahead was Rochelle, somewhat annoyed or rather jealous, then Lyra and Lyna were standing at the door of the house, along with Luna and Sam who looked out just to see what was happening.
Rochelle: I hope you brought me something too –Rochelle said it standing next to her father, pointing at him with the index finger of her right hand, which was pointed directly at his face–
Lacy: Me too! –Lacy ran past Rochelle only to then stop in front of the back door of the vanzilla, trying to find her gift –
Loan: Yes, I don't think you only bought nice things for them and not for us –Loan approached a little shy and nervous, although just as jealous as Rochelle only to stand next to her sister Rochelle with her arms crossed, trembling a little because of the nerves
Lari: calm down, guys... Surely dad brought us gifts, right? Daddy –Lari told him that with a flirtatious tone, while she caressed his left cheek with her right hand–
2
That was until Reina jumped on his back from behind him, making him suddenly lower his hands in case he fell forward and lower his head to let Reina stay on top of his back, that was to prevent both of them from falling and her ruin your clothes.
Queen: I want to see my gift! –Queen said that, shouting out of her excitement, making everyone already impatient to know what gifts she would bring them–
After shouting that, Reina would be pushed to the side when Lari stood up, fixing her hair and clothes that were somewhat wrinkled because of her.
Lincoln would take a simple step away from all his children who were gathered like a crowd in front of him, then he would sigh and taking Lacy's shoulders he would take her away from Vanzilla so he could give them all their respective gifts.
Lincoln: well, I'll give you your gifts so don't make any more noise, calm down, everyone calm down.
Lincoln said that by raising his hands, showing his palms to his children and pushing in the air as a sign that they should take at least a few steps back. Then, seeing that everyone was calm, but very excited, he prepared to start handing out the gifts; one by one, since he first had to get him out from behind the Vanzilla.
The first gift he took out was Rochelle's, since she seemed to be looking at him in a threatening manner, it was that classic situation in which if you don't give it to her first; You could get yourself into big trouble.
Her gift was an orange sweatshirt, although inside some pockets she left him a small box with a necklace made of a stone that shone when the sun's rays touched it, she thought she might like it.
Lincoln: What do you think? –He asks her that while she looked at him with her usual smile, all eyes were directed at Rochelle; waiting for her response –
Rochelle would observe the orange sweatshirt that she was holding with both hands, then she would adjust it over the short shirt that she was wearing on top, with the sweatshirt on she would begin to spin with her arms extended to her sides, only to later put her hands inside her pockets. , suddenly feeling like his hand was hitting something in his right pocket
Rochelle: ... –She would remain silent, taking the little blue box out of her pocket a little, her brothers/cousins would not notice, so she would look at her father somewhat confused without understanding what that meant; until she saw how her father made a sign for her to be quiet – ... I love it, thank you
Everyone looked somewhat annoyed at Rochelle because of her smile of pure joy, a smile that seemed like that of a loved one; which made them upset because she was taking so long to give them her gifts.
Lacy: I'm next! I follow! I follow! –Lacy went ahead of Rochelle standing in front of her father, she being very excited and agitated by her desire to have her gift –
Lincoln would laugh a little at Lacy's excitement only to then take out two objects from the back of the Vanzilla; One was a pair of sneakers that Lacy would use to exercise and then the other was a graphics tablet that she would give to Lynn 3rd so she could draw or just do whatever she wanted.
Lacy: Yes, sneakers! Sneakers! Slipper! –Lacy moved spinning and jumping, lifting the box with the sneakers in the air, he had many sneakers to play sports, but it was the first pair that her father gave him –
Lynn 3rd: thank you, I will treasure it –Lynn 3rd hugged the white box with the graphics tablet inside, she seemed happy and excited, although she looked somewhat normal standing next to Lacy who kept shouting "Sneakers" out of excitement as she He moved as if he had won a trophy, showing it to his brothers in a way that said "Lero Lero"–
Lincoln laughed again because Lacy, out of emotion, did a victory dance for her brothers, until Rochelle took him by the right ear and pulled it, making him now hear an "ow, ouch, ouch" because of the pain. What Lacy felt about the sudden pull.
1
Lincoln: well, the next ones are Lari and Loan... –Lincoln said that again, putting his body a little inside the back of the vanzilla–
Both young women prepared to receive their gifts by taking a few steps forward, letting Lacy and Lynn 3rd go to the back of the crowd made up of their siblings/cousins, only to later notice them with some excitement as they waited for their gifts; Loan was shaking as if she was in an earthquake.
Lincoln finally got out of the vanzilla trunk, taking out two white boxes that seemed to contain some Sansung Galaxy cell phones inside. They came on a 2-for-1 sale so he thought he could buy one for each of them, although he didn't know if Lari would enjoy it. of such a small gift or if Loan was a fan of cell phones.
Lincoln: They came on sale, so I thought you would like it... You know, having two cell phones is fashionable among young people today - Lincoln didn't know much about modern tastes in technology, he used his cell phone mostly for see social media posts, although he was always amazed by "things you didn't know a minute ago"–
5
Loan: ...I love it... –Loan said it from the bottom of his heart, looking up to show him a smile as beautiful as his mother's–
Lari: well, I would have preferred another brand; like an iPhone... Ouch! ... –Lari looked at the cell phone inside her box, appearing somewhat demanding, until Loan from her side hit her on the shoulder with some force that pushed her to the left – ... Okay, sorry, I like dad ...But, later I want a pair of dresses-
3
Before Rochelle could continue speaking, Loan and with the help of Reina took her into the crowd so that she could stop being demanding. After what happened, Lincoln still maintained his oservarian smile, as the next ones were Lyle and Bobby Jr, who seemed Already having an idea of what they wanted, Lincoln only hoped he had brought the right thing for both of them.
Lincoln: well, for you I have this...
Lincoln again went a little into the back trunk of the van, taking out from inside a bow made of a type of wood that he had bought at the garage sale, already with his Quiver and a total of 5 arrows that still maintained their edge. , with his right hand he took the quiver from his belt and with his left he held the compound bow, bending down a little to give them to Lyle.
Lincoln: For you, I have this... I heard from Leni that you were always fascinated by archery tournaments, so I thought you would like to practice... Although first wait for your mother to approve it, if I survive her screams, I will put something together for you. to practice your aim
Lyle: Wow! Thanks Dad! –Lyle, out of emotion, threw himself on his father hugging his neck, maybe he didn't realize it but at that moment he looked like a girl hugging his father –
2
After that, Lyle would adjust the quiver on his back by hanging the belt that surrounded his entire abdomen from his shoulder, then he would take the compound bow and start shooting it, noticing that it was difficult for him, but he just had to practice a little more.
After that Lincoln proposed to deliver Bobby Jr's gift, for him who seemed to have a particular taste for video games and comics, he gave him a PSP that he hoped he would like, it cost more than he expected; Just like Gas, everything in this World costs more than in yours.
5
Bobby Jr: thanks, always wanted one! –Bobby Jr said that, lifting the box that contained his PSP, looking at it right in front of his face, with a sincere smile–
Lincoln: thank god you liked it, they don't accept returns so if you didn't like it you would have to keep it hahaha
Lincoln was laughing because of what he said himself, it was something that he thought could happen if he didn't accept the PSP, he would make him keep it the same or he would just give it to someone else, the store in the mall where he bought it does not accept returns for some stupid rule, I hope the Shopping burns down.
2
After the two young people already had their gifts, the last of the group in front of Lincoln were Reina who had been telling them to hurry up for a while and then there was Lina who remained silent, for fear that he would say that he also wanted a gift and that She wanted it now, tell her that they didn't bring her anything.
Lincoln, in response to Reina's cries of haste, simply showed her a smile that hid his anger at Reina's words "Hurry up old man and give me my gift now."
Lincoln: ...Well, the next ones are Lina and Reina, but if Reina keeps rushing me, I'll set her gift on fire or something better... I'll give it to someone else, understand? Daughter –Lincoln told him that, looking with the same smile that he had when listening to how he hurried him, although now with a more threatening and intimidating tone–
Reina: yes, daddy... –Reina hid behind Lina who was even more panicked and scared than Reina, so out of fear of not being able to hide with anyone she just covered her eyes as if to say "I become invisible." "Meanwhile, Reina peeked a little over his right shoulder–...I just...I don't want to wait
Lincoln: and you won't, just don't rush me...
Lincoln said that, returning to normal, saying that with a somewhat annoyed tone but nothing serious, it would go away soon.
She would get inside the back of the vanzilla to take out two gifts from inside, one for each one; The first was a somewhat white wooden ukulele, an object that he also got from the garage sale where he got the electric guitar for Edie and an old, but well maintained, Violin.
Lincoln couldn't help but feel sorry for the man at the garage sale, apparently he didn't want to sell anything, he believed or knew that he could pilot this unfortunate wave; But his wife forced him to sell his precious objects out of jealousy that he loves them more than her or envy that he has fond memories of his youth.
Although clearly the truth was that she seemed to be the one who maintained the accounting and stability of the house, while that man was just someone with a relaxed mind.
Lincoln: a ukulele, what do you think? –He bent down to hand the ukulele to her little daughter Lina, hoping that she likes the music as much as her sister Edie likes her –
Lina: ...I...I... -The 12-year-old girl with white hair would look at the ukulele that she was now holding with both hands, she did not know what to say and what she felt was so much emotion that words could not express what What he felt, without being able to say anything he stammered until he started crying from happiness – ... I'm sorry... I just... I love him!
2
She would suddenly start crying harder because of all the happiness she felt, causing Luna and Sam, who couldn't see her because of her nephews who were covering her, to run over, afraid that Lincoln had done something like denying her a gift.
The others would also be running behind them except for the other sisters who were talking to her parents. Edie went after them for fear that her mother would do something bad to her father, she would not forgive her for that.
Lincoln: great, it's yours... If you don't like it, I can still change it, the lady who sold it to me said that if I wanted I could even take her husband's collection of Ace Savvy figures for free –Lincoln told him that, hugging him a little. Lina letting them cry into her chest, feeling how the ukulele was between them and how Lina slowly calmed down–
Luna and Sam stopped before this scene, although Luna and Lyra were still somewhat reluctant to believe that Lincoln was someone good, so they continued looking at him with suspicion and distrust.
Queen: ...Cough cough... I'm sorry for bothering your bad copy of La Rosa de Guadalupe or cheap telenovela, but; this is mine
Reina entered without any hint of understanding of the situation and took from his possession a large box similar to that of a Play 5, only to later realize that it was a Play 5
Queen: God, yes! I adore you dad, you were always my favorite dad! I forgive you for all the times you missed my birthdays, Christmas and New Year's! –Queen said that very excitedly while she left the box on the floor so she could open it and take out the Play 5 from inside her–
6
Lincoln: haaa... Well, thank you, I hope you like them...
Lincoln gave a sigh, separating himself from his daughter Lina to be able to observe, still crouching, his daughter Reina who did not seem to be the type to think about others, then when he said "I hope you like them..." when Reina opened the box and saw in Inside, Lincoln showed him a cheerful smile and finished the sentence with "...those socks."
3
When Reina saw that there were only a pair of long black stockings inside, she almost started crying. Out of rage at being deceived, she even threw the box at her sisters who were laughing for having fallen for that.
Queen: I hate them! This must be a stupid joke!
Lingoln, faced with his daughter's annoying reaction, only laughed a little, only to then receive the withering look of annoyance from his daughter Reina and Luna who surely thought he was a cruel idiot. Reina, on the other hand, only felt belittled by her father who He didn't give her anything.
Lincoln: It is; Don't be angry, here... -Lincoln got up, approaching the vanity again, where he went to get a skateboard out of it. The first thing he thought about buying for him was a paintball marker, but then he imagined the consequences, so he I thought the best thing would be to give him a skateboard; in her world Ronnie Anne loved the skateboard, maybe she inherited that from her–… A skateboard from the best brand, cost me a lot of money that I had to throw in her face and a very good cardio to run towards the vanzilla
Sam: ...did you steal the skateboard? –Sam asked that, somewhat shocked with what Lincoln said about how he got the skateboard–
Lincoln: na, it's a joke... I could never –Lincoln said that, but no one knew if he was lying or telling the truth, they knew the Lincoln of this world, but this Lincoln's past still had gaps, I correct, oceans of space empty –
Reina meanwhile looked at her skateboard, she could never forget the appearance of a professional skateboard like that and also how much it cost, it even had Heymana Raynolds' signature which even increased its value, the fact that her father gave it to her means that she spent a lot money to get it or seriously steal it, either of the two did not matter to him, his father gave him what he wanted most in this world; She was going to treasure that skateboard for the rest of her life.
But, she was also still upset by the joke, so she pretended that she didn't love that Skate, which was very difficult for her; I observe her father still feigning discomfort
Queen: I like it, but it's not enough... I want something more
At Reina's request, her brothers/cousins were upset with her for asking for a second thing when they all received only one gift from her.
Lincoln: well, what do you want? But it has to be something simple, I don't have much budget left... At least I make some calls
Lincoln scratched the back of his neck and the back of his head, closing his eyes and sighing. If he asked for a loan he would be obliged to pay them back; He never worked like that because they always say "you owe me one" or "you owe me money"
Reina: no no no, no... Don't worry, I just want a "voucher"... A "voucher for a wish" –Queen said that, hugging the skateboard as if it were her most precious treasure, to what her sisters said/ cousins looked at him surprised, they understood how much power a "voucher for a wish" had -
Lincoln didn't understand why he wanted that; Although it was the first time he heard of something like that, in his world no one ever talked to him about it or he never asked his parents for something like that, although one night he said to death "please, I will give you my soul and my flesh, "But I just want you to set my house on fire."
1
His psychiatrist once told him that he had a little problem with wanting to see everything he hates burn, he said that it was a way of wanting to start from scratch without what affects him; He said that he saw fire as the power that would purify everything bad and return it to a pure state from which to start, then his family told the press that he was a potential arsonist.
Either of the two; Lincoln still wanted to see his house burn in flames, although not this world's, for some reason he did not want to see it in flames; It wasn't because of sentimentality, it was more because he renovated it and returned it to its greatest state, which was like if you built a sand castle, you hate when it is destroyed.
1
Lincoln: sure, you have your "voucher for a wish"
2
Lincoln said that without thinking about it without being nervous or uneasy, after all it was just fulfilling a wish that was at its limits, he was not a genius to bring him the stars or give him the world at his feet.
At his response, many seemed upset, trying to tell him not to do it; But Lincoln, ignoring all the shouting, signed a small piece of paper and said "worth a wish."
While Lincoln was doing that, Rochelle among her siblings looked at Reina jealous and very upset, she knew how her little sister could use that wish and she knew that her father, wanting to make everyone happy, would comply with the wish.
Rochelle: If you ask him for something perverted, I swear I will kill you 5 times before you hit the ground.
4
Reina looked at the paper with a mischievous smile of victory, until she felt a sudden chill and when she looked towards her brothers she noticed that the older ones were looking at her with murderous eyes, the desire to kill could be felt.
Reina had hidden herself from her sisters' gaze by placing herself behind Edie, who was the only one who still did not understand the power that Reina had with a simple piece of paper. Edie, on the other hand, only watched them, laughing a little because of how scared Reina was, she thought. that everything was already over so he would help his father bring groceries into the house and then he would teach him a tune that he already knew from before, but that he never showed him, he had many tunes and rhythms, and he also knew how to sing for what he wanted. show everything he could do to his father.
Edie: Dad, let me help you... –Edie approached her "father" standing right next to him to help him carry the paper bags, Reina, using her as a shield, had to go after her saying that she would also help–.. Mmh and this?
Luna couldn't help but look with some annoyance at what Edie was doing with Lincoln. She couldn't understand why her daughter, her own blood, was so attached to a piece of shit like Lincoln.
Lincoln: ah... They are gifts for your brothers
When Lincoln said that, he received a surprised expression from everyone; The ones who were most surprised were Luna and Sam, like; Lemy, Lyna and Lyra who couldn't believe that he thought of them and brought them a gift.
Lincoln put his hands inside the back of the Vanzilla again, even he was surprised how that old and disastrous vehicle had perfect space for many things in its rear trunk.
After a few seconds, he took out what seemed to be a leather and wood briefcase from inside, but when he opened it, showing it to Lemy, you could see that it was a mobile record player with a briefcase-shaped case that could be carried without much problem.
Lemy: a record player, is it for me? –Lemy said that looking at how beautiful he looked and since he had small speakers on the sides, he liked it, but he didn't know whether to accept it or refuse–
Lincoln: If you don't want it, I can keep it... It would go well in the living room -Lincoln laughed a little when thinking about where he would put it and how he would keep it from breaking, he was serious about keeping it, he didn't want to force Lemy to accept the gift from a stranger
After all, Lincoln only knew him by name and sight, besides the things that Edie told them about when they were returning to the house, more than anything else they were events or things that happened to Lemy that would cause laughter, as well as be memorable.
Like the time at a recital he kissed a girl and her boyfriend appeared at her, causing her to get hit a few times until his mother's bodyguards helped him.
Lemy: no no, yes I want it... Thank you –Lemy took it with both hands, only to then close it and put the locks on it so that it doesn't suddenly open–
Lincoln: oh and don't forget this –Lincoln would take out from inside the vanzilla trunk a medium-sized box with about 25 collector's records from the 70s and some from the 80s–
Lincoln would give him the box so that Lemy would have something to start his collection with, Lemy didn't know what to say or whether to act affectionate like Bobby Jr. and Lyle, so he just said "thank you" with a somewhat nervous smile.
This would not bother Lincoln, who understood that it would still be difficult for him to accept the gift of a man who lives inside his father, a father who abandoned them and seems to have a great history with Luna's family.
The next and second to last person to receive a gift was Lyna, the young woman with blonde hair the same age as Lemy, with two piercings just above her left eye and the appearance of a tough girl or one that was on par with Lemy, they probably spent a lot time and they got into a lot of mischief, thank God that was the problem of the Lincoln of this world.
Lincoln did not envy that Lincoln.
Lyna: what do you have for me? –She asked him that with a tone that she said she did it reluctantly, plus she looked at him with a hint that she didn't want anything from Lincoln, the same look that Lyra had–
Lincoln: well, for you; I have this...
Lincoln took out a second electric guitar from the back trunk of the vanity, but this time it was light blue or bondi blue, with a more rocker touch than Edie's; Although Lyna bought it at the last minute so he didn't know if he would like such a gift.
Lyna: a guitar? ... I do not want it
Her sudden response made Lincoln surprised and so did her brothers/cousins, although they then started shouting in annoyance because she did not accept their gift, even though they were not the ones to force her to accept such a gift.
Lyna: shut up, I don't want it because I have a lot of these and I also don't like how they look... Agh Edie, you also have several that you bought, that look better than that ugly guitar
Lyna said that to Edie, looking at him with a touch of annoyance, it seemed that she really didn't want to accept anything from Lincoln and that she didn't like his father at all, although Lincoln still thought that they didn't want to accept that he is not their father, but that he is a different Lincoln.
Edie: that doesn't matter, I still like that guitar – I currently didn't have the guitar with me because I left it inside, but it was true that I loved that guitar, not because of its appearance but because of who gave it to me –
Lyna: That's complete nonsense! ...
Sam: lyna, stop it... Don't make a scene please
The one who stopped Lyna was none other than Sam, Luna seemed to want to let her daughter do whatever she wanted and say whatever she wanted to Lincoln as well as to her relatives who blindly believed that even if Lincoln wasn't the same as the one in this world, he wasn't bad. .
Sam couldn't understand why Luna still had so much hatred in her soul, even she went through that; but he understood that the best thing was to leave everything behind; Or that anger and pain could cause much more pain as chaos.
Lyna bowed her head at the sudden reprimand from her mother, even so she clenched her fists showing that she still had a lot of anger inside her.
Her siblings, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel that Lyna just wanted to vent all her anger on someone who didn't deserve it and Edie only thought that Luna infected her with her blind fury, that she put ideas in her head that all Lincolns were bad. and that his father deserved nothing but the worst.
But; Lincoln, on the other hand, just sighed and placed the guitar on her back, letting it hang from the belt that surrounded his abdomen. He understood what it was like to hate a person to the point of not even wanting to see him; so he knew that if he kept trying to force some kind of bond it would only be worse, plus it wasn't like he wanted to form bonds either.
I still had to accomplish something at all costs.
Lincoln: well, I understand... So, Lyra, do you want your gift?
Lyra: no, thanks anyway
Lyra's response was more polite than Lyna's, but it was clear that she had the same feelings as the youngest, so she just let everything take its course, she took out a violin case from the back trunk with its respective violin inside, At that Edie would approach him and take the violin case asking him to let her help, Lincoln would nod with a smile in approval.
Lincoln: thank you, if anyone else wants to help me... I would appreciate it, although if you don't... They won't eat dessert at night
When Lincoln said about the dessert with a smile that showed that he was serious about the punishment, all the young people prepared to help take the bags down; everyone except Lyra, Lemy and Lyna who left with their mothers, Lina on the other hand stayed so she could help with something.
She was like a small baby ant trying to pass between the bigger ants, she had a hard time until she felt someone grab her waist and forcefully place her on her father's shoulders.
Lina: ah! –She screamed from the fright of almost falling backwards, so she quickly clung to her father's head without pulling her hair –
Lincoln: thank you, Lari –Lincoln had asked Lari to put Lina on her shoulders or she could be hurt by getting between her older brothers, who were already wanting to grab something in a hurry to say that they helped–
Lari: you're welcome, daddy –She told him that with a mischievous and flirtatious smile, while she stood next to him and caressed his left cheek with her right hand, revealing her pink lips and her beautiful appearance–
Rochelle: "Say nidi pipi" come here - Rochelle took Lari's left arm and took her away from her father, feeling jealous of what he was doing, forcing the oldest of them all to help -
3
Lincoln was just laughing at the scene while Lina had already lost her shyness and let her father take her, showing in her smile that she was having a great time and was having a lot of fun with her whole family.
Lyna saw from the entrance how her younger sister was being spoiled by her father and she could only feel a little more angry, only to later look to her right to notice how Lemy was also looking at his brothers/cousins.
Lemy was watching how Bobby Jr and Lyle were having a good time together, playing with the food they took out of the paper bags, how Reina and Lacy joined them, in addition to the older girls challenging him for just being annoying.
After an hour they managed to put all the groceries inside the kitchen and arrange them perfectly. After his great help, all the young people left, dispersing throughout the house; In the end the light blue or bondi blue guitar ended up in the hands of 12 year old Lina who wanted to practice for the first time and the Violin was left to Edie who told her that one of these nights she wanted to make him listen to a song, she didn't have much these days so I agree; Unless something breaks in this house and she has to repair it, or if she discovers a way to speed up his plans to return to her world.
Luna and Sam were in the backyard drinking some fruit juice with Leni and Lori, it was a typical meeting of sisters and friends, who talked about everything that happened, besides the fact that two of the girls at the meeting hated him, didn't they? He participated because he hated talks that were not to his taste, those that talked about things from the past, unless they were funny or anecdotes of great importance for his plans.
That's why at that time he was in the kitchen drinking some cold water to take off the heat of shopping, while he sat on a stool next to the small kitchen table; He would watch as Lynn entered the kitchen, hanging up a call.
Lynn: I have great news –Lynn said that with a happy smile as she approached the refrigerator, opening it with her right hand and looking inside to see if she could find something to drink–
Lincoln: Is Luna going to leave this house? –Lincoln asked that after taking a sip from his bottle of cold water–
Lynn: no... Is something wrong with Luna? –Lynn asked her that while she was closing the refrigerator door after drinking a bottle of Gaterote that she liked–
Lincoln: no nothing, he's only been here a day and he already cut my cheek when he hit me, he openly shows that he hates me and please love, don't be angry... But your sister... She's a bitch -Lincoln He said that sincerely, apparently in this world the only one who was identical to one of his real sisters was Luna–
Lynn: oh come on, you know everything we had to go through... She was the worst; She was equally or even more in love with Lincoln than I was, whenever he went with her, Luna was excited and forgave him... He even almost got her into drugs one time.
Lincoln: sometimes I wonder if love makes you stupid, if I had met the Lincoln of this world; First, I would have run away and second, I would have punched him in the face.
2
Lynn: love doesn't make you stupid, I love you and you love me, are we stupid?
Lincoln: well... Am... In the face of that logic there is no argument
Lynn laughed when she saw that Lincoln thought the same as her about how love is sometimes good, you just have to find that special person who will take care of you, protect you and heal you from the wounds of the past. While she was thinking about that, she sat right next to him. Lincoln to be able to move the chair a little and be able to sit in front of Lincoln
Lincoln: So what's that great news?
Lynn: oh yeah, I was talking to my parents, they said they're coming to town in 3 days... So I thought maybe we could have a little party or get-together, you know...
