After going over his plan with the orphans and his friends yesterday, Lincoln woke up early once more and headed down to the basement of his house. There, he saw his temporary house guests sleeping around the basement floor and knew he had to wake them up if they were to go through what they talked about. Walking close by to a sleeping Rufus, Lincoln knocked onto a pipe that was right his head in an attempt to wake him up, but not startle them as much. Unfortunately, Rufus got up a bit too quickly and wound up hitting his head over the same pipe.

Rufus:"Ow!"

Lincoln:"Oop! Sorry, Rufus!"

The others soon woke up themselves after hearing Rufus cry of pain, and Debby was there to check up on him.

Debby:"Rufus? You okay?"

Rufus:"(sarcastically) Oh yeah. Just peachy."

Lincoln gave an awkward smile and rubbed the back of his head as the rest of the orphans gathered around him as he went over the plan.

Lincoln:"I'm gonna give my friends a head's up call so that they'll come and pick you guys up. But we're gonna have to head for the backyard, like, now."

Matthew:"Isn't it a bit too early for this?"

Lincoln:"Sorry, Matthew. But we don't have much time."

He quickly led them all back up the stairs and through the kitchen where they made their way to the backyard. Rushing them out, he was about to follow suite, when Leni of all his sister just so happened to wake up early and show up in the kitchen, wearing an aqua-green robe, a mud mask and her hair in curlers.

Leni:"(yawns) Linky?"

He quickly pushes them out and shuts the door while trying his best not to look conspicuous.

Lincoln:"(nervously) Hey, Leni? What are you doing up so early?"

Leni:"I was heading to the bathroom to find something to go with my mask when I heard some weird noises coming down here. Was that you?"

Lincoln:"Uh, yeah. I was just...uh... reorganizing! For a, uh...fashion thing...you know, suburban home kitchens are now the latest setting for the perfect fashion trends. Just something I looked up."

Leni never heard something like that before. In fact, it left her confused. But she trusted her brother and went along with it.

Leni:"Well, that sounds great. I'll have to look it up. Thanks, Lincoln."

And with that, Lincoln's fashionable sister headed back upstairs and the white-haired boy took a breather before heading back outside to meet the others. Fortunately, both the orphans and his friends were already there, giving him to go over the plan as soon as possible. While everyone stood a few feet away from him, orphans in front while Lincoln's friends were behind him, Lincoln paced the ground as he went over what he had in mind.

Lincoln:"Okay. Once we have everyone assigned to accommodations, I'm gonna go check out the Orphanage where you guys are from. My friends will look after you all while I'm away."

Debby:"You have to be careful, Lincoln. It's a long way from here."

Lincoln:"I will, thanks. Matthew, you're gonna go with Liam."

Matthew:"Alright.

Liam:"Sounds good."

Lincoln:"Kelsey, Archie, you're with Zach."

Zach:"Welcome to my house then."

Archie:"Thanks, man."

Kelsey:"Appreciate it."

Lincoln:"Rusty, you're taking Gina and Aaron."

Rusty:"No problem."

Aaron:"Hope you have a nice place."

Gina:"We really do appreciate it."

Lincoln:"And Stella, you and Clyde are gonna be looking Rufus and Debby."

Rufus:"Hey, we're the older ones here. We don't need to be looked after."

Debby:"Just let it go, Rufus."

Stella:"I can take care of them."

Clyde:"I'll try my best to help."

And with all that settled, the Orphans stand by the friends of Lincoln that he's picked for them. After that, Debby gave Lincoln a map, showing off directions to where he needed to go.

Lincoln:"Alright, guys. Make sure that the orphans are taken good care of."

Stella:"We'll make sure. Don't worry."

Soon enough, they all departed, with Lincoln making his way to the orphanage. The map he was given had directions that lead him to around the area where he first rescued the kids, Apparently, the Orphanage was in a secluded area, as he lowers the map to see the big building itself that was painted dark blue, and was, putting it mildly, a little damaged with the front entrance having been broken down. The sight of it left Lincoln unnerved.

Lincoln:"I wonder if there's anyone still inside.

Walking inside himself, he could see that even the interior was partly damaged with cuts on the walls, looking to be from some kind of weapon and paint peeling off. As he was reaching the end of the hall he was walking through, a door was slightly opened to reveal a bit of a bedroom on the other side. He was about to peak inside... someone came out and swung a baseball bat at the kid, making him fall back and crawl away from who was trying to attack. It was a girl about Lori's age, who had large, poofy, amber-colored hair held by a black spiky headband and ponytail. She wore a white leather jacket over a yellow t-shirt, dark purple yoga pants with black slip on shoes. Her name was Erica, and the way she was attacking was like a cornered animal protecting herself as she pointed her bat at Lincoln.

Lincoln:"Woah! Woah! Wait! Calm down!"

Erica:"Who are you?! What are doing here?!"

Lincoln:"My name is Lincoln! I came here because I heard this orphanage was attacked, and I came to check up on it."

Erica:"Why should that matter to you?"

Lincoln:"Because I found some of the orphans that had been kidnapped from here! Debby, Rufus, Matthew and a few others!"

After hearing those names, Erica softened as she recognized the names of some of her friends. Putting down the bat, she then offered a hand to Lincoln, which he hesitantly accepted.

Erica:"I'm Erica. I'm glad to hear my friends are alright...Let me show you around."

Lincoln:"O-Okay, thanks."

She then takes him around the orphanage, showing him hallway after hallway. Lincoln looked to see that the place was in okay shape, but was yet to find anybody around.

Lincoln:"Is...everyone else okay? Is anyone around?"

Erica:"There are a few others and most of them are okay. A lot has happened since that attack."

Lincoln:"So, you saw what happened then?"

Erica:"Yes. And I know quite well."

Heading upstairs, Erica takes Lincoln to an office with green-painted walls, a big desk with a bookshelf behind it, a few paintings of random people and things, a few extra drawers against the side walls, and a pair of chairs in front of the desk. Someone behind the desk, an adult wearing black slacks, a navy blue jacket over a white button shirt, slicked back black hair with some grey around the sides, and glasses with an orange frame. And he had a bit of a scowl on his face. His name was Mitchell and he was one of the few in charge of the place. When he saw the two enter his room, he looked a little impatient.

Mitchell:"What is it that you want?"

Erica:"Watch your tone, Mitchell. We have a guest."

Mitchell:"(turns to Lincoln) Who are you?"

Lincoln:"My name is Lincoln. I heard what happened here."

Mitchell:"That should not be your concern."

Erica:"Mitchell!"

Lincoln:"It's okay, Erica. (to Mitchell) Look, I know about this because I was there to save some of the orphans from this place."

Mitchell:"I see..."

That is when another person came from another door; a woman with golden brown hair in a french braid, she was wearing a dark green vest over a seafoam green sweater, and dark brown leggings with yellow high heels. She also had a golden necklace around her neck. She name was Susan and she came in to hear the commotion.

Susan:"What is going, Mitchell? (turns to Lincoln and Erica) And...who's he?"

Erica:"His name is Lincoln and he's here to help."

Susan:"Can he be trusted?"

Lincoln:"Yes. I've already helped a few people from here."

Susan:"I see. (Comes out from behind desk) Would you like to look around?"

Lincoln:"Of course. We were about to get on with that anyway."

Susan:"Alright then."

Erica:"I'll be coming too. I want to make sure no one tries anything with him."

That earned Erica a suspicious look, which didn't get by her.

Erica:"I'll explain later. Let's just go."

Lincoln:"...Alright."

And with that, they began to show Lincoln more of the orphanage, which he say many rooms that were configured for many purposes, such as education, living quarters and so on.

Susan:"You know, for most of us, this place is, like, the greatest place to be on earth."

Lincoln:"Really? How long have you girls been here?"

Erica:"Nearly a decade for me."

Susan:"I myself have worked here for seven years. I could tell that this place has everything a homeless child wants and needs growing up."

Lincoln still wondered what all that meant. But he would then see for himself as they peaked inside a classroom, having at least 24 children, much to his surprise, inside, and with a teacher who wore a formal blue business suit, had a pair of black framed glasses at her eyes, her dull brown hair in a high bun on her head. She was known as Ms. Audren, and the topic she was talking about was History, specifically in the 1600s, and she asked some of her students some questions as they followed along.

Ms. Audren:"And what we have been covered, can anyone answer what was the greatest incident to happen during this time?"

One of the students raised her hand. She was a girl about Lucy's age, having glasses, fair skin, red hair tied in 2 ponytails. a white button shirt under a pink sweater vest and a plaid skirt. Her name was Amanda.

Amanda:"The Black Plague. It killed thousands of people during that time."

Ms. Audren:"Very good. And as we know, the 1600s were an era of Piracy. What was the biggest Heist pulled off at the time?"

Another student raised his hand to answer the question. A boy with short black hair, and semi-tan skin, wearing a coral shirt with horizontal stripes, light brown pants. He looked to have been about Lynn's age and had a chipped tooth like Lincoln's. His name was Stephen.

Stephen:"The Gunsway Heist, held by Henry Avery while it was en-route to India."

Ms. Audren:"Excellent. Now, who was a famous poet to have lived during this time?"

A third student was one to answer. A teenager that was Lori's age, having fair skin with short light brown hair that conceals his eyes. He wore a blue jacket over a white button shirt and plain blue jeans with brown shoes. His name was Travis.

Travis:"That would be Shakespear. And we all know of him already."

Some of the students looked a little surprised to hear of this, and the Teacher herself was impressed. All the while, Lincoln, Erica, and Susan were peaking into the class, seeing how well it was going.

Lincoln:"Wow. They each got their answers right. Class is more effective here."

Susan:"We do our best to make sure each of the kids have a good education."

Erica:"Yep. I had to a bit of that myself. It worked well for me."

Lincoln thought about that they went on to see some other rooms. One of which, much to Lincoln's surprise, was a kitchen, along with a whole Cafeteria, which only had 4 kids sitting at a table, but the group paid no mind to them as they went through the kitchen, meeting the chefs who were preparing lunch and dinner. They all had matching uniforms, white jackets, aprons and hats, and classic stuff. Two of them were men with grey and black hair, one was a blonde woman who has her hair down in a bun.

Erica:"This is only one of several cafeterias that we have around the place."

That information made Lincoln feel dumbfounded, thinking that this was Matthew's favorite part of the orphanage. The next place for them to visit was a gymnasium, make-shift in design, having white-painted walls with glossy wooden flooring and bleachers, long, tall windows, and a stage for other things at the opposite side of the gym, across from the entrance. There were various types of workout equipment with at least 15 teens exercising on them.

Lincoln:"There sure are a lot of orphans around here."

Erica:"Well, it is important for us to remain healthy. (points to two girls) And that one over there is considered the most athletic person here."

The first was a girl who looked to be the same age as Lori, with fair skin and was wearing, Red short shorts, white knee-length socks, a white t-shirt, and black workout shoes. She also had red sweatbands at her wrists, and her red hair was in a high ponytail with a green scrunchie. Her name was Avis, and she was working out on a cable pull machine.

She stopped for a second, seeing Erica and Susan with the newcomer of the Orphanage. From the look of it, Erica glared and Lincoln could tell that she was a smug bully.

Avis:"Showing around another castaway, Erica? At least this one's a little cute."

Lincoln:"C-Cute?!"

Erica:"Shut it, Avis. Lincoln's not an orphan. He's here helping out with a problem."

Avis:"Ah. Well, I at least hope to see more of him sometime later. (gives Lincoln a wink)"

Lincoln blushed at her, and how she was working out, until Erica and Susan pulled him out of the gym to move somewhere else, all while Avis kept thinking about the boy.

Avis:"He does like quite the charmer, right Madonna?"

Her friend, Madonna, was working out another machine, next to her. She was around the same as her, had honey-blonde hair tied in a swirly ponytail, and wore a marigold tank top that revealed her waist, and dark grey yoga pants. She said nothing, but silently agreed with her dear friend, in the hopes of appeasing her.

Moving on, one of the most surprising rooms that Lincoln was shown was a nursery that had children who could've been no less than but a year old, or even a newborn. It was a room full of cribs, and changing tables, and the babies were cared for by nurses, regular and wet nurses, with their only being three he could see at the moment who wore maid-like uniforms and were rather on the pudgy side. It scared him, seeing that so many newborn children were being cared for here, and he wondered how long has this been happening, around his own town, no less.

Lincoln:"How long has this place been here?"

Susan:"As far as I know, decades."

Erica:"The original owners had this place moved from their homeland, piece by piece. And we've stuck to their traditions, picking up kids from off the streets around the country."

Lincoln:"Sounds like they were very generous people."

Erica:"Oh, they were. In fact, let us show you something."

That is when they walked to the end of the hall they were at, and Lincoln was introduced to a portrait of a couple with a farmhouse in the background, the woman in the portrait had thick red-brown hair that reached her back, red lipstick, and was wearing a red full-body dress. The man beside her had short brown hair and a pyramidal mustache, was wearing a dark green suit with a turquoise necktie, as well as a monocle. They both had melancholy expressions in the portrait.

Susan:"This is Eliot and Selene Smithworth. The original owners of the manor house."

Lincoln:"They must be very nice people to convert their house into the orphanage. What happened to them?"

Erica:"They've moved on."

Lincoln:"...Oh."

Susan:"Now, with that in mind, how about we should some other parts of the orphanage?"

But as they were about to continue with the tour, another orphan came running by to meet up with the two ladies, and Lincoln. She was a plus-sized girl who was 14 years of age, but actually looked 16 due to a growth spurt and looked to have rather thick skin. She had white skin and plum hair tied in a bulky plait. She also had a Victorian-styled white ruffled shirt, a blue bandana with a white diamond pattern tied around her head, and a dark maroon shirt that stopped just at her knees, as well as long white socks and black dress shoes. Her name was Siara. She came running before stopping ahead of the three, catching her breath before turning to face them.

Susan:"Siara? What's wrong?"

Siara:"Susan! Erica! Pardon my interruption, but there's a fight going on in one of the bedrooms."

Erica:"(Sighs) Again? (turns to Lincoln) This kind of thing only happens on rare occasion."

Lincoln:"Oh, I know about that. I've got 10 sisters back home, so fighting tends to happen a lot at home."

Erica:"I guess we have that in common then."

Siara:"Who is this, by the way?"

Erica:"His name is Lincoln. He's here to help out with a little problem we've been having."

Siara:"I see. For a second, I thought we had a new orphan come in."

Lincoln:"I've heard that one before already. From Avis."

Siara:"Ugh. Avis. Girl's been around for 5 years and has a real bad habit of thinking herself superior to others."

Erica:"She is a bit of a sore winner."

Lincoln:"That, I can definitely relate to."

The four of them were making it down the hall and went into one of the rooms where a bunch of kids were gathered around 2 girls that were on the floor, rolling around, hands at each other's throats, one of them had a black eye and the other has a missing tooth. The one with the missing tooth was 10 years old with light brown hair tied in 2 low ponytails, was wearing a green sweater with turquoise shorts, brown shoes with white socks; her name was Cathy. The one she gave a black eye was a girl around the same age, was wearing a navy blue skirt, and pink polo shirt, was a redhead with a bow tied in her free wavy hair that reached her shoulders, and also had long white socks with black Mary Jane shoes; her name was Hilda. The kids around them were acting like spectators, cheering on the fight as it when on, but Erica and Susan would not have it. The two young ladies pried the girls apart.

Erica:"Alright, that's enough. Knock it off, you two!"

Susan:"What is going on here?"

Hilda:"Cathy here says that the bedroom here didn't look good enough for her."

Cathy:"Well, you better learn how to suck it up!"

The other girl tried to attack Cathy again, but both Erica and Susan kept them apart; Erica holding onto Hilda and Susan holding onto Cathy. But they both stop struggling when they saw the boy who came in with the ladies. They both thought Lincoln was cute, if the blush on their faces was anything to go by. They soon managed to get out of the women's grasps and rushed over to the white-haired boy with sultry expressions.

Cathy:"Who's this little cutie? You new around here?"

Lincoln:"(blushes) Uh...what?"

Hilda:"You new around here? I could help show you around."

Lincoln:"Uh, I'm just visiting."

Hilda:"Really? Where are you from?"

Lincoln:"Franklin Avenue in Royal Woods."

Cathy:"And why have you come to visit?"

Lincoln:"Well, I heard that this orphanage was attacked, and I wanted to come and help out with the situation."

Cathy:"That is very brave of you...are you single?"

Hilda:"I would also like to know that."

Lincoln:"(blushes heavily) Uhh..."

Erica:"(butts in) Okay. We're in the middle of a tour right now. So you girls, just calm down."

Siara:"(Takes Cathy and Hilda) You guys can go on ahead. I think I can take of these two from here?"

Susan:"See you around, Siara."

They later head on outside to the backyard of the orphanage, where there was a wide-open field that had all sorts of things for the orphans to do, such as an archery range, a pond, and a jungle gym. There already seemed to be 20 girls there, and one teenage girl, in particular, was at the archery field, 18 years of age with violet hair tied in a long braid, and a dark purple bare-knuckle glove that almost reached her elbow, dark maroon leather jacket without leaves over a white shirt that shows her stomach and a bit of her chest, and green cargo pants with brown shoes; her name was Grace.

Lincoln, Erica, and Susan walk over to see her making a direct bullseye on her target. Then, she turns to see them.'

Grace:"Oh, hey girls. What's this? We got another newcomer."

Susan:"No. This is Lincoln. He's just visiting."

Grace:"Oh. Well, I'm Grace, and I'm a fitness trainer here at the orphanage."

Lincoln:"Yeah. I saw how you did that. That was a pretty impressive shot."

Grace:"Appreciate it. Took years of practice to master."

That is when she took off her jacket and stretched out her arms.

Grace:"So, what brings you here?"

Lincoln:"I'm here helping out with a problem you guys got."

Grace:"I see...Well, let's hold a meeting with the rest of the staff members and we'll talk about that later."

Erica:"That sounds like a good idea. But for now, we'll just keep showing Lincoln around."

And with that, Grace gave them a nod and departed herself before the three headed over to the jungle gym. There, they saw a 16-year-old boy with dark brown hair in a bowl-cut, a grey shirt with the logo for the Detroit Lions on it, and apple green athletic shorts. He's also got white shoes with orange highlights. His name was Glenn. He was just finishing up on the monkey bars when he saw Lincoln, Erica, and Susan coming to him.

Glenn:"(scottish accent) Susan, erica. Whit kin ah dae fur ye?"

Erica:"Just showing this boy, Lincoln, around the place."

Susan:"Lincoln, this is Glenn. He's an orphan who originated from Scotland."

Lincoln:"You're scottish? My family has a home over there."

Glenn:"Pure? Whaur exactly is that?"

Lincoln:"Well, it's at a place that shares my family's name. Loch Loud."

Glenn:"Ah hae heard aboot it. Ah think tis a bawherr o' a tourist trap."

That made Lincoln give an odd look.

Lincoln:"So, uh...why did you come here from Scotland?"

Glenn:"It juist seemed mair peaceful. Bit it hasn't bin th' identical sin mah maw 'n' da died."

Lincoln:"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. How long have you been an orphan?"

Glenn:"Twa years. We cam aroond 'ere twa years ago. Bit nobody saw it comin'."

Now both boys felt bad, looking away from each other in silence while the girls felt extremely awkward about all this.

Erica:"(awkwardly) Maybe we should move on. Glenn, just so you know, the staff members are gonna be having a meeting later on. You'll be in charge when that happens."

Glenn:"Okay. Guid tae ken."

And with that, they leave Glenn alone and show Lincoln more of the backyard, which even has a soccer field in the distance. Someone was sitting out, writing the satistics of the game on a clipboard. She was a girl, 14 years of age, wore glasses, and long wavy dark blue hair that reaches her waist. She also had on black shorts and a blue-grey shirt, as well as white knee socks with purple shoes. Her name was Regina. Her nose was in the small clipboard she held while sitting on the sidelines of the field until she saw Lincoln, Susan and Erica come by.

Regina:"Oh, hello there. Erica, Susan, did you come to see the game?"

Erica:"Actually, we would like to introduce you to Lincoln here."

Regina stopped what she was doing for a second and eyed Lincoln up and down. Her gazing made the boy a little nervous.

Regina:"Well, he does have an interesting look. Especially the white hair."

Lincoln:"(blushes) Heh heh, thanks."

Susan:"He's hear because he heard the orphanage was attacked and came to help out."

Regina:"Really? How exactly?"

Lincoln:"We're gonna be holding a meeting and I'm letting everyone know about it."

Regina:"Ah. I see. Is there anything I can do about it?"

Lincoln:"Sure. But, I need to finish my tour first. But, I have to ask, did you happen to see anything during the attack?"

Regina:"Well, I was in hiding when it happened, but I happened to see the attackers when they were leaving. They had burlap sacks over their shoulders."

Lincoln:"How many did you see?"

Regina:"I counted three."

Lincoln:"(interally) Hmm...maybe, they had stolen more than I thought."

Regina:"I'll be sure to let others know about this meeting you're holding."

Erica:"Thanks, Regina. We should get going."

Leaving the field, they headed back inside and reached the lower level of the Orphanage's building, to Lincoln's surprise, they came across a choir room with 15 members singing while one was the lead singer and another was playing the piano as a backup. The pianist was a girl in a purple dress shirt, had free-styled blonde hair that reached her back, brown pants that had baggy ends, and a circular necklace around her neck. She was also around 15 years old and her name was Mary. The lead singer of the group was in a Victorian-styled dress that was in a seafoam green with a filigree design, as well a pearl-colored corset and a full skirt that nearly reached the ground. Her brown hair was short enough to reach her shoulders, but she had a single bang covering her left eye while the rest of her hair was in a short ponytail. Her name was Hilary and she was 16.

While the choir was singing a choral symphony, Lincoln was in awe by Hilary's voice while Susan and Erica were merely smiling.

Erica:"A lot of our kids have such hidden talents we help bring out. Hilary's the best singer we got."

Lincoln:"I believe that. She's really reaching the high note."

When the song wrapped up, the choir members were a tad bit surprised by a round of applause they got from the three who recently just entered. Mary seemed to be the most startled when she turned around and accidentally jabbed her hand on the piano keys.

Mary:"Goodness! We weren't expecting anyone to show up during rehearsal."

Erica:"Sorry, Mary. We were just showing our guest around."

Lincoln gave a wave.

Mary:"It's fine. We're just working on our next performance. But we'll take 5 for now."

Clapping her hands, the rest of the members leave while Mary and Hillary stay. They step up and catch sight of Lincoln.

Mary:"He seems like a nice looking boy."

Lincoln:"Thanks...but, what's with the dress?"

Susan:"Oh. We have some people who design costumes and outfits for things like theatre and charity work. It's how we fund this Orphanage."

Hilary:"I believe you may do something similar. Lincoln, was it? You do magic sometimes."

Lincoln:"How do you know that?"

Hilary:"I've seen one of your performances before. You do well in entertaining others."

Lincoln:"Heh. I don't know about that. My sisters are better entertainers than me."

Mary and Hillary started feeling bad after hearing that.

Hilary:"That does seem fair. Each family member should be equally as talented."

Lincoln:"I'm...used to it. But sometimes, I wish I could prove that I'm as just as good as them. My sister has a lot of trophies...I hardly have any."

Hilary:"Well...just wait until you see the trophy case that we have."

That is when another worker of the orphanage came in, and she looked...richly. A red dress under brown and white faux fur, light brown stiletto shoes, her brown hair in a french braid that reached her waist. Her name was Antoinette.

Antoinette:"Ah, Hilary, Mary. A splendid performance, better than the last."

Mary:"Thank you, Ms. Antoinette. We have some guests."

Hilary:"Susan and Erica brought a newcomer."

Antoinette:"(looks at Lincoln)...So they have. And what a handsome young boy he is."

Lincoln was a bit shocked by that. He was getting compliments from all sides today.

Antoinette:"Now, Hilary. About the dress. I think we can go bigger. Much bigger."

Hilary:"Bigger?"

Antoinette:"BIGGER. You did say they make you feel like you practice better. And I tend to agree. The bigger the dress, the better you look. (to Lincoln) I tend to be the one to work on clothing and costumes for the performances of the Orphanage."

Susan:"She does have a taste for fashion. It keeps her mind off the thought of...her parents."

Antoinette:"Yes. Thank you for bringing that up again."

Lincoln:"Well, I think its great that you are able to do something you're passionate about."

Antoinette:"And my dream is to open up a clothing store of my design."

Lincoln:"I have a sister who has the same dream."

Antoinette:"Very nice. Now, dare I ask what this young man is doing here?"

Erica:"We're holding a meeting soon, and we need to tell everyone about it. Think you can help spread the worse."

Antoinette:"Of course. I'll see to getting everyone ready. Be seeing you soon."

As she leaves, the three continued with the tour and come across another bedroom, this one being for a single person. Lincoln peered inside to see someone sitting up on a bed, writing in a journal...with some papers scattered here and there across the floor and dresser. This girl was 15 years of age, had large, bushy, auburn hair, was wearing a navy blue shirt with a "war of the world" cover on it, a dark grey hoodie over it, a pink skirt, blue socks with white velcro shoes. Her name was Melanie. Whatever she was writing was paused when she saw Lincoln peering into her room, followed by Erica and Susan coming in.

Melanie:"Another newcomer you're bringing in? Is he trustworthy?"

Lincoln:"Uh...actually, I'm just a guest. I came to help out the situation you guys are having."

Melanie:"Situation? You mean the aliens?"

Lincoln:"Huh?"

That is when Melanie got in his face all of a sudden.

Melanie:"Aliens, man. They come here every night, mess with the grounds, terrorize the orphanage. I've been training to fight them off. Do you believe in them?"

Lincoln:"Uh...what?"

He then looks around the room and sees that she has a bow and arrow by the corner of her dresser.

Lincoln:"Are you...an archer?"

Susan:"Sometimes, we wish she wasn't. She practices more than anyone. But sometimes, we have to stop her from doing it for real."

Erica:"She's obsessed with aliens to the point where she comes outside at night and tries to shoot at innocent people. We think she's a bit insane."

Lincoln:"I see...well, Melanie, we just want to let you know that we're gonna be holding a meeting soon. And would want you to join us."

Melanie:"Is the meeting about a plan for defense against an alien attack?"

Lincoln:"...Yeah, sure. Let's go with that."

Melanie:"Then I'll be there."

And with that, she hightails it out of her room, with Lincoln, Susan, and Erica staring at each other.

Lincoln:"She's a bit of a fast thinker."

Erica:"Yeah, that's a bit problem from time to time. We have to spike so me drinks for her to get her to slow down."

Lincoln:"...What do you mean by that?"

Susan:"Don't worry about it."

The next thing for Lincoln to see, at the near completion of their tour, was the orphanage's trophy case. It took up an entire wall, and there were many trophies in it.

Lincoln:"(:0) The orphans you have here must be really talented."

Susan:"As they should, they've worked hard to become so."

Lincoln:"Hmm...I have an idea. If the orphans are as talented as I think they are, then maybe we'll be able to use that against the people who attacked this orphanage. To defend this place"

Erica:"Hmm...reminds me of an old movie I watched before. Home Alone. Strangely enough, Melanie, Regina, Glenn and Grace were with me when I watched it."

Lincoln:"Well, I already have some ideas on how to defend this place."

Susan:"And we can't wait to hear them at the meeting."

Lincoln nods at that as they finally head to where they're having it.

Lincoln:"Where will be having it, by the way?"

Erica:"The Great Hall."
