The family reunion continued for a few more hours; Although with the discomfort of Lisa and her baby being present, it was not possible to be very cheerful, although it was not difficult for the little ones to have fun; They also liked to play with their little sister Lulu, specifically Lacy who treated her as if she were a mini, she even talked to her about how Lulu was going to be a great athlete.
At that moment the night had already fallen on Royal Wood, the Loud family was preparing to have dinner in addition to having a small friendly chat with Lisa, who did not seem to feel nervous or feel uncomfortable by the looks of her sisters, as well as the strange attitude. On Lincoln's side, she knew well the History of that Lincoln; After all, when he detected that someone entered his laboratory in the basement, he turned on the surveillance cameras for family study, since then he was observing his little White Laboratory Mouse and observed how the number of people in the house grew, at first It was just the study of a Space Traveler from another world; Then it became curiosity and ended up becoming envy, since while she observed everything from a cold laboratory, they had fun without her; That's why she herself decided to ruin their little reunion with her visit, although they took it better than she expected.

Lisa: Did your dad give you that Violin? Edie –Lisa threw a question at her niece; one of her creations, the first Daughter of two Women, although through the cameras she could notice a funny lie, where she was Lincoln's Daughter–

Lisa was sitting on the couch playing a little with her Baby Lulu, while Edie was in a simple chair in the corner of the room near the television and the window behind said television, since the annoying person was sitting on the couch. Lyna, with her mother Luna and her Brothers; Lyra and Lemy, it wasn't something that worried or caught Lisa's attention, after all she only needed to get one person's attention.
Edie: Yes, he also gave me a guitar... But I like this Violin better – Edie said that while with a clean cloth, she removed the dirt and grime from today, she had played it for a while so that her father He listened to him, which he did and I congratulated him; That's why now Edie was with great joy that could be seen in her smile -
Lyra: It was mine; I didn't want it and he gave it to her –Lyra was saying that while she was sitting on her couch next to her aunt Lisa, although there was an empty space between them; She didn't like that Lisa was also on that guy's side and that's why she was sulking watching television, with the controller in her right hand -
Edie couldn't help but feel upset at what he said, she knew that this gift was for Lyra; but she did not accept it so it ended up in her hands, even so that did not mean that she loved that instrument and treasured when her father listened to her play the violin, Lisa would observe the dispute between older sisters, making Lisa only show a small smile. and take Edie's side
Lisa: Apparently this house will have another genie; You can play all kinds of music, you have a better ear than Mozart... –Lisa felt that her baby wanted to leave again, so she did not give him much concern; accustomed to her disappearing, she only let him go so he could go have fun around the house and maybe scare someone–... Your ears should only listen to the music, not the critical comments of a girl
Upon hearing that, Lyra was going to raise her voice to respond to her Aunt, but then Lisa would stand up, interrupting her words, then with a smile full of mockery she would look at her niece Lyra and then with a more normal smile at her other nephews, It wasn't that he disliked Lyra, it was just that he loved to play pranks on her and bother his nephews, plus they saw themselves as his brothers; so they looked even more cute and upset.
Lisa: good; If you allow me, I will go to my laboratory... Lacy; Please take care of my Lulu –Lisa said that to Lulu when she looked everywhere and didn't find Lulu, apparently she is stalking some prey again; She expected her to be a rat or large insect–
Lacy: Yes! I'll find the specimen and put it in containment! Alive or dead! –Lacy said that like a soldier, while she was joined by her sister Lynn the 3rd, Bobby Jr, Lyle and Lemy last–

Lynn 3rd: I think it would be better; Viva –Lynn 3rd said that to her sister, making Lacy show a confused expression, seriously her sister was superior in physique; but she had a very innocent mind–
Bobby Jr: Remember, he has infrared vision and can see in the dark; He can also spit paralyzing saliva, shoot the legs and use the nets
Bobby Jr said that to Lyle and Lemy, as well as Lynn 3rd and Lacy, giving them all NERF weapons that they asked for from Lincoln, which he did not reject since he also missed those weapons and playing as if it were a war, now Everyone was armed and ready for the hunt.
But suddenly a young woman settled between them, taking a NERF Gun only to then fit the cartridge into the Gun.
Lyna: I'm going too –Lyna said that, showing a slight friendly smile, although it was more directed at Lemy, who also smiled at her in a friendly but somewhat nervous way–
Everyone remained silent at Lyna's request, she was not one of those who played things like that, so she did not have a good relationship with her cousins and it made no one like her, which Lemy knew, he thought that maybe She wouldn't join these days either.
At that Lynn the 3rd was whispering something to her sister Lacy, who was not as nervous as the others; but just like them, they didn't like Lyna.
Lacy: ... –She would listen to what her sister would tell her, only to then look at her out of the corner of her eye as she separated from her ear, and say out loud– ...So there is no way to make her not come, but she is boring and it's going to ruin everything...
Lynn 3rd: Lacy! –Lynn 3rd covered her sister's mouth, observing Lyna who looked at both sisters, somewhat upset and angry at what she said–
Lyle: We can go now; I'm sure she already knows we're coming, it's better to move before she sets traps –Lyle said that as he began to walk towards the stairs, being followed by Bobby Jr and then by Lynn's daughters–
Bobby Jr: You're right; Lemy and Lyna will go together, let's separate into groups of two
Bobby Jr said that to end the awkward talk about why Lyna was not welcome, Lynn 3rd covered her sister's mouth as they went up the stairs behind her brothers/cousins, while Lyna felt happy to go with her brother Lemy ; But when walking next to her and looking at her out of the corner of her eye, she could see that she had a somewhat sad expression.
Lyna: everything okay? –Lyna asked him that, hitting his shoulder with her right elbow–
Lemy: ah... Yes, I'm fine... Everything's fine... –Lemy was surprised by his question, only to then speak hurriedly and nervously; showing a big smile–...I'm just nervous hahaha
Lyna didn't say anything else; She would only show him a small smile and begin to walk with Lemy up the stairs, observing the backs of her relatives, noticing how the four of them spoke with great enthusiasm and sometimes joined Lemy in the conversation, but they did not do it with her; They always excluded her, while her sister Lina, who had the same name and was only a few years younger than her, was treated in a special way and everyone loved her, it was as if there was only one Lina and she was just a stranger who had the same name as one of his sisters
Lyna: ...That's why I hate meeting with the family –Lyna said that in a low voice, squeezing her NERF Gun and looking down, she looked for that relationship; but now they didn't even give her the opportunity to join them, they had taken her out of her circle and wouldn't let her in -

Lyna would look askance at Lemy without him noticing; What she would see would be her always animated smile and how she had a good time with them, but more specifically how she looked at a person in a unique way; She wasn't stupid and knew what those bright eyes meant, after all; She looks at Lemy like that, but he never looks back at her and she never notices, after all her gaze focuses only on one person.
Lyna: ...I envy you
Lyna would say that looking forward; She observed those in front of the group, feeling a pang in her heart.
She wanted to cry; but she would put up with it like she always did, so she could have a good time with Lemy, at least him if she treated her like a sister or friend.
Lincoln was in the basement at that time of night; The light in the basement was on as it moved slowly over Lincoln's heads, who at that moment was busy moving the boxes that were in that place, he was making space while choosing which boxes had things that were useful and which only had garbage, although it was bad at choosing; For him everything was garbage
Lincoln: I don't understand why people keep trash, they say it's because they are memories... But surely it's just their accumulating impulse -Lincoln said that, opening a box, he had cut the tape with a cutter that he held with his right hand; only to then retract the blade of the cutter, leave it in one of his pockets to use it again later–…Dolls? or are they stuffed animals?
Lincoln said that after opening the box to both sides; The box was full of stuffed animals for babies or small children. He didn't know it but they belonged to all of Lincoln's children. They were the stuffed animals that Lincoln had given them in their childhood. You could say it was a bribe.
Lisa: Peluches, or from the old Gaulish "Peluchier" word that was formed from the Latin "pilus"... Although it is also believed that it is derived from the Italian word "Peluccio" which translates as "Short Hair"... Although I prefer The first one sounds more exotic than "Short Hair" hehe
Lisa spoke to him from the stairs, then having Lincoln's attention she began to speak like a teacher and wise man of the forest, it had become normal over the years, but time was not going to take away all the wisdom that she had obtained, On the other hand, she became smarter with time; Lincoln's Lisa of the World was different from This Lisa, too much, his Lisa never leaves her laboratory and Lincoln didn't even know if she was still alive, she was the only one he couldn't find information about and it seemed that the governments of the world wanted to keep him that way, On the other hand, Lisa standing on the stairs; She seemed more normal and approachable, but it also gave him chills how she smiled at him.
Lincoln: you say a strange old word and I say "Peluche" –Lincoln told her that in a mocking tone of how she spoke when she was a child, although he didn't know if that Lisa did the same thing as her sister; He told her that while she picked up a stuffed animal, only to then let it go and let it fall into the box.
Then he would continue with what he was doing, he would close the box again and then he would tape the lid, he would take the box from both sides and carry it next to the others, while he did that, Lisa began to go down the stairs slowly only to later Upon reaching the basement floor, start walking, observing how the whole place was somewhat cleaner.
Lisa: I take it you're cleaning, I'm sure it's to take the boxes down from the attic and make room for the new rooms you're going to build. Do you know carpentry and how to build houses? –Lisa asked him that while she walked through the basement, making a turn around the place, to end up after a few steps in the same place next to the stairs–
Lincoln: The basics, if I don't manage to build it... I'll just hire someone –Lincoln told him that without much detour or embarrassment of perhaps not knowing, usually he always hired an expert; which was not shameful, because it helps the world economy of his world –
Lisa: you are very different from my brother, he just let everything stay as it was... I never fix anything in this house or another house
Lisa said that while remembering how Lincoln for a while began to decline as a person, going from a lively boy who had dreams, goals and desires to help everyone; to being a lazy idiot who didn't feel like doing anything but what he wanted, that's why she liked this Lincoln; It was the Vestige of a world where Lincoln was still a good person, although he apparently hated them; But that can be changed, he had many inventions that can alter a person's memories or make someone fall in love.

Lincoln: oh how sad; My Sister Lisa made the Air Force cancel a purchase of Surface-to-Air Missiles... After we armed them, on top of everything; It was my first high-level deal, I almost went bankrupt –Lincoln said that with an annoyed tone while he continued arranging everything, remembering how his life was almost ruined by a "Bad Joke" or Lisa's desire for destruction, he could understand that they spoke badly of the; But she sure knew that if that deal didn't go through it would end in a bad relationship with her partners, but she went even further by letting the deal go through and having them cancel it halfway through the process.
Lisa: ... –Lisa was surprised by what her "I" from another world did, it seemed that that person had a worse attitude than hers; She at least understood that she couldn't ruin a person's life just because of normal anger, someone smart would understand that– ...And how did you manage to handle it?
Lincoln: he sold them to the Russians; Surface-to-Air Missiles with secret American technology are highly desired in other countries... –Lincoln said that as if it were no big deal; although from Lisa's surprised but smiling expression, he knew that she thought he was a guy with no loyalty to the country - ... Don't look at me like that; That day I learned that Loyalty to a government does not exist and should not exist, organizations and companies are empires; I was the king of mine and I don't forget when someone hurts me
Lincoln said that in a serious and real way, in his world he helped the United States slightly by selling them some of his inventions, but the arsenal went all towards Russia and China; who had given him their support in the beginning, the United States could go against his company and try to take over his inventions, but the result would be that Lincoln would only have to go to another country, so the United States did not make any movement in his against
Lisa: apparently you are not very patriotic, at least you are not a loyal Russian supporter... –Lisa said that as a joke, as she approached the furniture with a slight smile; she observing the free shelves of the furniture–...What will you do?
Lisa asked Lincoln that while she began to look at the dusty books on the shelf, they were all covered in dust except for a book of poems that said "amor meus, dilectissime apud intelligentes" in Latin, that was because it was the Book they arranged for He had to put pressure on a plate and keep the furniture hiding the entrance to his laboratory, the book was the only one that did not have dust; because it was the only one they had moved
Lincoln: I can't move that bookcase, I'll just leave it there and maybe change the books; none of those catch my attention
Lincoln finished arranging the last box on top of the others, only to then turn around while slapping his palms removing the dust from it, when he turned completely, with his hands together his eyes met Lisa who was reading the Book of Poems with a small warm smile, at that moment a sharp pang in his eyes and his brain
Lincoln: aaah!
The scream he released could be heard from the kitchen and the living room; while he covered his eyes with his hands, beginning to have a vision of the past, painfully absorbing the memories of Lincoln
"Here, I wrote it thinking of you"
From Lincoln's perspective he would observe how he gave Lisa a book, the same book of Poems written in Latin just so that Lisa could read them; While his beloved 23-year-old Lisa read the book, Lincoln observed Lisa's expression of excitement and joy; also feeling the feelings of nerves, joy and love that Lincoln felt at that moment, as well as his heart beating hard and fast.
"I love it... I love it! It's beautiful!"
Lisa shouted that excitedly; She only then, taking the Book with her right hand, approached the Lincoln of the vision, throwing herself on top of him, revealing that they were on the couch in an apartment in some city; Lisa would settle on top of her legs and hugging his neck, she approached to give him a kiss.
"Honey, I'm going to Lily's new house, do you want to go?"
Lincoln heard Lisa's less excited voice, although his vision was focused on a book of a novel that his Editor ordered him to convert to Comic or Graphic Novel; Her right hand moved over the blade while he rested her face on his left hand.

"I'm busy, don't you see?"
"...But, Lily moved into an apartment... We should go talk to her and congratulate her..."
Her tone of voice was less authoritative or animated, she seemed downcast as she spoke; Even so, Lincoln did not seem to care, his vision continued in the book he was reading to imagine how he should do it; He only felt tiredness, discomfort and some repudiation of Lisa, he seemed to be an adult tired of his life. How many years had passed?
"Yes, I should go see my little sister Lily who did achieve her dreams... While I'm still stuck in the same job, busy with more than 6 children and with a mediocre salary, thank you Lisa, you reminded me how pathetic it is am"
"Lincoln, that's not what I meant."
Lisa seemed to want to regret saying something she didn't say; Lincoln didn't feel empathy or sadness for making his partner feel bad, while whoever saw that wanted to hit that idiot, how long had he been doing that so that even Lisa wouldn't see how stupid her Lincoln became, in that he would feel like something It moved along his back; He didn't know what it was, but Lincoln just let out a tired sigh as he ignored Lisa.
"Also take Lulu, maybe seeing normal babies along the way will make her normal."
"..."
Lisa said nothing; She didn't even respond angrily to how she insulted her baby, then she would feel the thing that was climbing up her back like a spider being taken off her back near her right shoulder. Why did she think of "One Thing"? As the conscience grew even angrier, he could hear Lisa walking towards the entrance of the house, she was still living in the apartment, although it seemed less organized or maintained than in her previous memory, she would hear the door open due to the creak only to then hear how it closed and also hear something else
"I love you"
Lisa, even in the face of this retard, could say those words with painful love. She probably felt very bad for everything she said. Even so, Lincoln only clicked his mouth a little without responding; only to later hear the door close, upon hearing the silence of the apartment he would only focus on reading the Novel, until after a few minutes a message would arrive on his cell phone, consciousness would observe how Lincoln stopped reading and then move back, he felt as he leaned his back on the back of the chair and took out his cell phone from a pocket, which he unlocked; she pressing on Whatsapp to be able to read the message
'Hi love'
'I want to see you'
'Don't make me wait too long, see you at my house'
The 3 messages said that; Lincoln could feel some desire, lust and animosity, only to then see how Lincoln responded to the message without waiting another second.
'I'm on my way, prepare everything'
After that message I would turn it off and save it; Forgetting the Novel and his job, besides the fact that he rejected Lisa for that job, he would stand up and walk to his room, he would enter the place revealing a double bed for two people, then a door to the bathroom, finally a coffee table. light with a large mirror that was used to get ready; Lincoln would approach the light table, looking at the photos of her wedding with Lisa and her other sisters, as well as the photos of his baby; Even so, he alone would feel some anger, and then look in the mirror, fixing his hair and clothes.
Conscience did not understand why Lincoln felt great power, smiled as if he were the king of the world, or seemed happy to know that even if he does this, he can get any girl.
It was arrogance, the Consciousness felt Lincoln's pure arrogance in always getting everything in his life and always attracting girls like a beauty magnet.
His vision was cloudy again; everything went black until she could slowly begin to open her eyes, also hearing some noises; When his eyes opened he could notice that he was no longer in the basement, but that he was lying on the sofa in the living room, covered with a white blanket while he felt his vision somewhat cloudy.
Lincoln: How long did I sleep? –Lincoln asked that with a low tone of voice, the headache continued, it was like the kind of headache you get after a night of partying–
Lynn: Lincoln! Thank God! ... –Lynn, who was next to him, was excited to see him wake up, only to then approach him; She was going to hug him, but she stopped herself from doing so because of Lincoln's serious situation - ... You've been sleeping all night, it's already morning ...
Lynn would tell him that by showing him how some light came in from the window behind the television, apparently he fainted and had fallen asleep all night, which wasn't so bad; He only missed one dinner, it wasn't time he wasted; Although this had not happened before, it meant that his situation was becoming serious.
Lincoln: ...Damn...did I miss the leftovers? ... –Lincoln asked that as a joke to Lynn, while he showed her a warm smile and caressed her left cheek with his right hand, he could notice the red color under Lynn's eyes– ...I'm sorry, I made that you will worry
Lynn: What are you saying, idiot... –Lynn looked at him with some annoyance and a lot of relief, only to then approach him, unable to contain herself anymore, she gave him a hug–...I'm glad you're back, please... . Do not go
Lincoln was surprised by the hug and what Lynn said, he couldn't see her face; but he could hear Lynn's trembling voice, so feeling a little bad for Lynn, he hugged her tightly only to then say something to her in a low voice.
Lincoln: I would never leave, not yet...
2
Lincoln told her that to make her feel better, he had no plans to let himself die because of the memories of an unfortunate man, he was going to return to his world and avoid death, he still had several plans to avoid his end, even if it meant sacrificing himself, they They deserved someone they could love.
