Everyone listened actively to Rosa's tale. Bobby and Lori held each other while everyone digested the new information.

Luna let out a long sigh. "This is heavy, man. What can we do to help her?"

Lincoln felt a jolt of guilt for his part in adding extra stress to Ronnie Ann. It was imperative that they find her before anything bad happened to her, lest any more zoos got raided.

Turning to face Lisa,"Do you have anything that would help us get Ronnie Ann back under control"?

The prodigy shook her head. "Not without examining her, this is outside my field of expertise. However, if we were able to confine her, I might be able to synthesize something."

Lucy spoke up, "I think I have an idea."...

Lincoln grabbed Lucy by the shoulders with a manic look in his eyes, "What were you thinking, Luce?"

The goth let out a sigh, and Lincoln winced, taking a step back.

Rosa smiled. "You love Ronalda. She'll need all the love she can get to bring her back to us." The older woman looked exhausted and her eyes were filled with a sorrow that aged a person by years.

The girls erupted into excited shouts and squeals, and Lincoln's face reddened as he desperately tried to deny his feelings.

Lori and Luna giggled amongst themselves while, Lucy offered to give him a love tarot reading, Lola and Lana were arguing over who would plan Lincoln's wedding. Lilly sat watching her older sisters, not exactly knowing why everyone was so excited but wanting to be in on the fun.

"Just gotta be careful, bro. You two can't go off making babies just yet.", Luna teased.

Lincoln could have died of embarrassment while the room erupted into chaos.

Lucy cleared her throat and, everyone's attention was immediately redirected to the goth.

Lisa rolled her eyes and quipped, "I do believe there is a much more pressing issue now, Lucy. What is your suggestion?"

" What if we disguise Lincoln as another...Nahuala", Lucy suggested.

Lisa's eyes widened and a look of understanding crossed her face, " That's not a bad idea...however, how can we be sure that Lincoln dressing as the Nahuala, will attract Ronnie Ann"?

That's when Luna threw in her two cents. "She came to find Lincoln the first time."

Rosa nodded along with what Luna said. "The power of love can subdue the curse...we just have to find Ronnie Ann before anything happens. She's in a volatile state right now."

Lincoln puffed his chest out, his mind was made up. "I'll do it."

Several hours later

Lincoln's face burned with embarrassment, and the slight laughter that kept spilling from Lola and Lana wasn't helping.

They were in Lisa's lab, and Lola, Lana, Lucy, and Lori were in the process of gluing Chunks of white fur to his arms and other exposed skin.

Lincoln was wearing a leftover furry white vest, probably from a previous Halloween. He wore matching furry pants and a pair of slippers that looked like cartoonish wolf feet.

"Are...we sure this is necessary?" Lincoln groaned.

Lana stuck a patch of white fur to Lincoln's forearm. "Sorry, Linc, this is the best we can do."

Lisa walked over with a perfume bottle that contained an ominously green liquid. Lincoln's eyes practically popped out of his skull while Lisa just sighed.

" This is a wolf pheromone, that I sliced with some fox and coyote pheromones. It should attract Ronnie Ann to you, whenever she gets close I want you to lead her back to the house so she can be tranquilized.

Lucy held up a familiar, fox mask that sent shivers down Lincoln's spine. However the bottom half of the mask had been cut off leaving the mouth and the jaw exposed.

Fully dressed Lincoln gagged as Lisa doused him in the pheromone perfume, a terribly musky smell invaded his senses. Hopefully Lucy and Lisa's plan would work.

After placing a carefully hidden communicator along the lining of the mask, Lisa hid the device.

The plan involved Lisa and Rosa monitoring Lincoln's interactions with Ronnie Ann as he led her back to the Loud house. Lori and Bobby would be following him in Bobby's truck while back at the house Luna, Maria, Rita, and Lynn Sr would be waiting with dart guns filled with a strong tranquilizer.

When everyone was in place, Lincoln followed by Bobby and Lori started off in the direction that Ronnie Ann had run off in.

Cool air rustled Lincoln's fur, and he could hear the slightest murmur from his communicator. His heart was pounding, and Lincoln's body was tense.

He scanned the surrounding area, desperately hoping to catch sight of Ronnie Ann. Moving out of the residential area, Lincoln followed broken branches and the obvious signs Ronnie had been there.

Large scratches scarred the surrounding trees, and a slew of small animal corpses lay scattered. Blood and entrails painted the forest floor, and Lincoln's stomach tightened.

"Is everything okay, Lincoln? Lori says you went into the woods and they lost sight of you.", Lisa's voice echoed from the communicator.

Lincoln jumped back, stifling a yelp. Lisa's voice caught him completely off guard. "Please warm me before you do that...I followed Ronnie Ann's tracks into the woods. There are dead animals everywhere, but I haven't seen Ronnie Ann yet."

"Please keep looking, Lincoln. I want my niece home and safe.", Rosa whispered into the communicator.

Pushing onward, Lincoln found more scarred trees and mutilated animals. Stopping at a tree, with four claw marks, Lincoln held his hand up to the scratches. She had to be close...

The sound of a branch snapping was the only warning Lincoln got before he was knocked to the ground. Dazed, Lincoln ignored Lisa and Rosa's shouts as he tried to get his bearings.

A snarling, snout positioned itself right before Lincoln's face. Looking up, Lincoln was frozen as Ronnie Ann's yellow eyes glared at him.

The creature's ears lay flat on her head, and fur stood up on her body in aggression. She dipped her head toward Lincoln's face, and his heart pitter-pattered.

Lincoln half expected Ronnie Ann to attack him, but a low humming reverberated from her chest and the creature moved to nuzzle Lincoln.

Ronnie Ann caged his body with hers and, Lincoln flinched when her tounge rasped the sensitive skin of his jaw.

Lincoln attempted to move, but Ronnie Ann blocked him, particularly by sitting in his lap as the humming sound got louder.

The communicator sounded, and Lisa's frantic voice boomed in Lincoln's mask, " Lincoln! What's going on? "

Hesitantly Lincoln moved to whisper into the communicator while Ronnie Ann rubbed her body against his. "I...found Ronnie Ann, but she's acting really strange."

"Lincoln, it's imperative that you listen to me. It's possible that the pheromones might trigger a mating response in Ronnie Ann."

Yelping, Lincoln jumped up, knocking Ronnie Ann off. Instead of acting aggressively, the Nahuala moved to follow after Lincoln.

Backing away slowly, Lincoln was soon running back in the direction he came In screaming for Bobby and Lori while Ronnie Ann chased after him on fours paws hopping along.
