Chapter 3

The Loud Sisters: "Awww!"

Much to Lincoln's discomfort and confusion, he finds himself in the living room, in the palms of his older sister Luna. While the rest of his sisters are surrounding them, giving him adoring smiles and sparkly eyes.

Lincoln: "Umm...Guys?"

Luna: "He's so adorable dudes!"

Lynn: "Look at that face!"

Lori: "I literally just want to put him in my pocket and carry him around."

Lana (Opens up her front pocket): "That's a great idea."

Luan: "Hey guys, I always knew I had a little brother. But look, we all have a tiny brother now! Hahahaha! Get it?"

Rita (Standing in front of the group along with Lynn Sr.): "Kids!" (After getting the full attention of her children): "Okay…As you all know. Thanks to your sister's invention, we almost lost our house."

Lisa (Whistling, while looking away): "Tweet! Tweet!"

Lynn Sr.: "And your brother has been shrunk down to the size of an action figure."

Lola: "We know Daddy, we were eavesdropping."

Rita (Rolls her eyes): "Anyway…Your father and I discussed it. And we agreed it would be best if we keep what happen here today a secret."

Lynn Sr.: "And we'll keep Lincoln inside the house until Lisa can grow him back to normal. You know…" (Getting a bit nervous): "So we don't cause a scene in public…if they see a little talking boy…heh…"

Lucy: "But wouldn't people notice our brother isn't around?"

Lynn Sr. (Takes a deep breath): "That's a simple sweetie. We'll just say Lincoln is down with something."

Lori: "But what about school?"

Rita: "We already emailed Principal Huggins and Mrs. Johnson. And they replied that they hope Lincoln feels better soon and that he'll need a doctor's note when he returns. That shouldn't be hard to get."

Leni (With a frown): "But we can't leave Linky here all alone while the rest of us are at school."

Lincoln (Turns to Leni with a raised brow): "Who said I can't?"

Rita (With a smile): "Don't worry Leni. We arranged with Lisa to use her security cameras to keep an eye on Lincoln while we're at work. And he'll have plenty of food, water, and things to entrain him as close to him as possible. And if there's a problem, he can just call us on his cell phone."

Leni (Her smile returning): "That's good."

Lynn Sr.: "But when we're home…doesn't matter, if it's all or some of us. We'll have to take turns looking after your brother. You kids got that?"

Luan: "That shouldn't be a problem, Dad." (Start to pinch her brother's cheek): "Who wouldn't want to take care of this little tyke."

Lincoln (Blushing hard): "Luan…" (Slaps her hand away): "Stop it. And I don't know what you guys are talking about…" (Rolls his eyes in annoyance): I may be small. But not cute."

Lucy: "But you're not cute." (Starts to use her index figure to ruffle Lincoln's hair with a smile): "Your adorable big brother!"

Lynn Sr.: "They do have a point Linc!"

Rita: "You are adorable like this!"

Lincoln (Turns to his parents in shock): "Wait…what?!"

Lynn Sr.: "Oh...shoot!" (Looks down at his watch): "I have to get to the restaurant, before opening hours!"

Rita: "And my swift at the dental office starts soon!" (Running out the door with her husband): "We'll see you kids later!"

Luna: "Umm…Dudes…" (Sees that her brother is gone): "Where's Lincoln?!"

The Loud Sisters (All shocked): "Huh?!"

It didn't take long of a search though, as the sisters found their brother climbing up the staircase…even though he only made it up two steps.

Lori (With a raised brow): "And just where do you think you're going Lincoln?"

Oh boy…here we go.
