(No POV)
It has been a week since Lincoln's returned home and it taken a while, but things have settled down.
Though some of Loud sisters still blame him for not being their to help with Lucy and Lisa as well as going
against the protocol, but the rest had to admit(Though not out loud) that Lincoln had made several points when
he told them off.
As for Lucy and Lisa they had slept with Lincoln in his room for the whole week and are now ready to go back to
sleeping in their own room, where still nervous and would occasionally just hold onto him.
As for Lincoln himself he's been mostly fine but has been having that same dream two more times this week and
still can't get his head around it, Lincoln is in his room reading through his books to see if their is any
information about his dream in their.
He also used
It was a very rare moment that the house is quiet as Lincoln's sisters are watching 'The Dream Bout' so he was
using this time to do something productive.
"Ah, with my sisters distracted I can actual relax" Lincoln thought as he turned the page before looking at the
time "six and a half minutes that's a new record, maybe I can get to ten."
"LINCOLN!" Lola yelled kicking his door open
"Why do I even bother" Lincoln thought with a sigh as it seemed like an impossible achievement in life to be
alone for ten minutes.
"What Lola?" Lincoln asked wanting to get back to reading.
"Tomorrow is the little miss wonderland pageant and I need my pageant coach." Lola said "So get off your lazy
butt and help me."
Lincoln pinched the bridge of his nose "Lola I'm busy so why don't you ask someone else to help you."
"Your not doing anything but reading a book" Lola said getting angry "And I just said your going to help me so
get up or ELSE!"
"Or else what?" Lincoln asked as he is slowly losing his patience
The question seemed to stop Lola as Lincoln nor anyone else has ever tried to call her on her threat before.
"I-I'll uh" As Lola tries to think of something, Lincoln picks her up by the back of her dress.
"Hey, put me down this instant!" Lola shouted as she flails her arms and legs, but Lincoln didn't care as he
carries her out the door and sets her down on the ground.
"I'm going to say this one more time, I'm busy and even if I wasn't you just barged in my room to demanded me
to help you so it would have been a 'no' either way." Lincoln said as he closed the door.
Lola has a shocked look on her face at what just happened, Lincoln just told her no and kicked her out of his
room, Then The shock turned to anger because Lincoln did those thing to her.
"LINCOLN I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!" Lola shouted out in rage as she stomps away from Lincoln's room.
As she passes Lisa and Lily's room, Lola sees a stuffed rabbit wearing a mini purple polo on Lily's side. she
recognized it as Lincoln's stuffed toy he named Bun-Bun. A sinister grin grew on Lola's face as she grabs the toy
and races back to her room.
Unknown to her, someone saw her take the toy and followed her.
Lola grabs a pair of scissors that she 'borrowed' from Leni as she looks at Bun-Bun in her hands.
"This is what happens when you make Lola mad" Lola said as she cut Bun-Bun's neck, The person that followed
Lola saw what happened an tears filled their eyes.
The final straw was when Lola dropped the body and raised the head in the air laughing slightly, That did it as
the unknown person let out and heart wrenching cry.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
(Lincoln's POV)
After Kicking out Lola I let out a small sigh as I can finally return to my book.
I sat down on my bed going back to the page I left off of.
"Their now nothing can distract me now" I thought
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I instantly throw the book as I shot out of bed and opened the door so hard I almost ripped it off the hinges.
But that didn't matter as I ran down the hallway, even noticing that my sisters are running up the stairs too.
When I opened the door to Lana and Lola's room I froze taking in what I'm seeing as the rest of my sisters are
behind me.
Their was Lola holding the head of Bun-Bun, his body at her feet as she tries to calm down the source of the
crying.
Lily
"What's going on in here?" Lori asked with her hand on her hips as Leni picked up the crying Lily.
"I don't know" Lola said honestly "All I did was cut Bun-Bun and then Lily started crying"
"And why would you do that" Lucy asked making everyone -besides Lincoln jump in shock
"I will put a bell around your neck Lucy mark my words" Lynn said as she tries to calm her fast beating heart. "You wish" Lucy said before looking back at Lola "now why did you cut of Bun-Bun's head, you know that
Lincoln cares about it."
"Well I asked him nicely if he could help me prepare for my pageant tomorrow but he throw me out of his room."
Lola said putting on fake innocent eyes before she glared at me "So I had to teach him a lesson, Never make me
mad!"
"Well theirs a problem with that my ninth oldest sibling" Lisa said as she knowns why Lily is crying.
"Oh?" Lola said in false interest "And what's that, besides Lily crying?"
"It's because you believed that you can hurt our brother by damaging Bun-Bun as you believed that it's his" Lisa
replied as the others wondered that she's getting at. "But you hurt Lily instead because-"
"Because I gave Lily Bun-Bun" I said after being silent the whole time as I try to remain calm, but seeing Lily cry
is pushing he to the edge.
"W-what?" Lola asked half confused half nervous as she sees how calm I appear to be, Too calm as I grabbed Lily
out of Leni's arms and softly move my arms back and forth as I hummed.
Lily slowly calms down but she still has some tears in her eyes, she loved Bun-Bun after I gave him to her and
she must have watched it happened.
I turned my attention to Lola who is looking more and more scared, now I would never harm my sisters, even
after everything I still love them.
But Lola needs to be taught a lesson.
"What's going on in here?" Just then mom and dad walked looking around the room from one face to the next
then to Lola who was still holding the scissors and Bun-Bun's head.
"I'll explain" I said evenly as I started to explain everything from Lola barging in my room to just know.
"Wait but why did you give up Bun-Bun?" Luan asked "You were always so attached to it"
a1
"I grew out of it" I said with a shrug "Yes Bun-Bun has been with me for my whole life but I just don't need him
anymore"
I then looked at Lily who was nuzzled in my chest with a smile on my face "Besides he's helped me growing up
so I wanted to give him to someone who would have needed him just as much."
The others thought that was sweet and Lola looks down wishing she'd have know that Bub-Bun was given to
Lily so she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
"Well Lola what do you have to say" Dad said looking at Lola
"I'm sorry for cutting Bun-Bun" Lola said looking down
"Now as punishment, After the pageant tomorrow you'll be grounded for the rest of the weekend" Mom said as I
grew a look of anger and disbelief
"Your still letting her go to the pageant" I said making my disapproval known
"Well your sister has her career that she's been working up her whole life-" I didn't even let her finish as this is
sounding stupid.
"I don't know if you've notice this but SHE'S SIX!" I shouted as the all flinched as I suddenly raised my voice " I
don't know what career she's been making her whole life but it can't be a long one."
"Don't you dare take that tone with us" Dad said but shrinks back as I throw a glare at him that made a chill go
up his spine, Mom decided to take over as she sees that Dad's having trouble.
"Look, Your made I get it," Mom says trying to be the peace keeper " You feel that the punishment isn't enough
and that were letting Lola get away with to much"
"Huh finally some sense from their side of the conversation" I though as my anger is subsiding "They're finally,
properly put their foot down when dealing with the girls"
"So after the pageant we'll discuss more on her punishment" Mom said as my anger rises once more with new
force "So can you please train her for tomorrow as it's very important."
"She says she understands but makes a backwashed o ff er to still try and have my sisters get their way" I thought
as I gave Lily to Luna and started to leave.
"Were are you going?" Mom asked as she didn't expect this reaction
"Out" I said simply "Leni can you fix Bun-Bun for Lily?"
Leni not understanding what's really going on but knew that I was upset was happy to help.
"It'll be done by tonight" Leni said before noticing the scissors in Lola's hand "Oh I've been looking for those
every where"
(No POV)
"I can't believe them" Thought Lincoln as he ran down the side walk, making sure to not bump into anyone.
"Lola does all of that because she can't accept 'no' and then Mom and Dad don't even properly punish her."
Sadly this was the same for his other sisters, since their never properly punished they never really learned a
lesson so they keep making the same mistakes over and over again as they never had to face actual
consequences.
"But not this time" Lincoln though as he stops in front of his destination, Miss Liza's pageant training center.
As he entered Lincoln looked around until he found how who he was looking for
Lindsay Sweetwater
she's young girl who is the same age as Lola, and has long orange hair that curls up at the bottom. She wears
light pink lipstick, a teal bow on her head, white pearl earrings, long cyan evening gloves, a long teal dress with
frills at the bottom, and a belt to hold it up.
Lola's rival, who was talking to her own group of friends, clearly talking about the pageant that's happening
tomorrow.
Lincoln was about to walk over to her when a sudden thought came to his mind
"Am I really going to do this because of what happened" Lincoln thought in a moment of hesitation "Do I really
need to do this?"
Just then all of the times his sisters have gotten away scot free appeared in his mind, all of the times where his
parents should have stepped up and acted like real parents and set them straight, all of the times where he was
made a scape goat for them to avoid punishment.
"Yes" Lincoln thought as this choice became so much easier as he started to walk to Lindsay "Yes I do"
As Lincoln made his way over, The pageant girls took notice that a tall, handsome white haired boy was their
and began to whisper amongst themselves.
"OMG who is he?
"Idk but he's so ~dreamy~"
"Ba ba ba"
Soon enough Lindsay and her group, hearing all of the commotion turned around only to see a handsome boy
standing right in front of them.
"I would like to talk to Lindsay Sweetwater please" Lincoln said as all the girls in the center turned to Lindsay,
who's face was shocked.
"I-I'm Lindsay Sweetwater" Lindsay said nervously "And who are you?"
"I can't believe I stuttered like that" Lindsay mentally scolded herself "But some hunk just walked in here and
asked for me, I wasn't prepared for this"
"Well we've meet before" Lincoln said as Lindsay raised an eyebrow as she would have remembered some eye
candy like him "I'm Lincoln Loud, Lola's older brother"
The center became quiet before it was filled with excited gossip as the girls who have never seen Lincoln
wondered why Lola never mentioned her brother was hot and the one who have meet him before wondered
how did he become so hot.
Lindsay's mouth was wide opened as she remembers the scrawny white haired boy he helped get dirt on Lola,
he was about to ask how did he become like this, but he beat her to it.
"Before you ask, I had a growth spurt" Lincoln said simple as he didn't want to go fully explain.
"Well then" Lindsay crossed her arms "What do you want" She asked rudely but this was her rivals brother, even
if she helped him once it was for her benefit so she had to be cautious.
"What I want" Lincoln said as he bends a knee to look her in the eyes "Is for you too beat Lola"
~The next day~
"Come on kids" Rita shouted from the passenger seat of Vanzilla "The pageants about to start soon"
"Coming Mom" They shouted as they ran out the door and loaded up in the Van
"You ready for the pageant Lola" Lynn Sr asked his daughter looking through the rear view mirror for a moment.
"Of course" Lola replies as she checks her make-up "I can't wait to add another tiara and trophy to my
collection."
"I wouldn't hold my breath" Lincoln thought as he's prepared for what will happened.
"Oh and Pop-Pop will be there as well" Rita said "We'll be in different rows but we can meet up with him after to
celebrate."
"That sounds great" Lola said with a wide smile "I can't wait, It's been a while since Pop-Pop saw me win a
pageant in person."
"Your really confident that you'll win huh sis" Lana said as she looked at her sister
"Of course I'll win" Lola said before she throw a glare at Lincoln "Even if someone refused to help, I now that I
can still win as I have always done."
"Now that it was mentioned, We'll be having a talk once we get back home Lincoln" Lynn Sr said as addressing
his son "In this family we support each other so you owe Lola an apology"
"We'll see" Lincoln said as everyone got quiet as they process what he just said
"What do you mean 'We'll see', you are now putting yourself in bigger trouble young man" Rita stated as she
turned slightly to look at Lincoln who had a window seat with Lucy next to him, he rested his head on his arm as
he gazes out the window.
"What I mean is what it sounds like" Lincoln replies not even looking at her direction "We'll see"
The rest of the car ride was quiet after that as no one can believe that Lincoln is acting like this.
Once they got to the pageant, Rita went with Lola to the backstage to help her get ready as the rest find their
seats, They could see Pop-Pop three rows behind them and they all waved.
Pop-Pop sees them and waves back with a chuckle.
Soon the pageant began as each girl walked on stage as preformed their routine, some were good, some were
great and when it was Lola's turn she got the loudest cheer so far, but for Lincoln something was off.
"I know that routine" Lincoln though "Or better yet routines, she didn't have one prepared so she combined
di ff erent aspects of her previous pageants as well as one of the incomplete routines from the practice chart that
I use too plan for her pageants."
When Lola walked off stage Lincoln could see a glimmer of a smug smirk on her face as she thinks that she's
already won.
But she hasn't and she won't be
When Lindsay's name was called the lights dimmed a little as she stepped out on stage wearing less make-up
then she usually does, The other contestants are confused but Lincoln just grins which only grew wider as
Lindsay began to preform her routine flawlessly.
The theme was wonderland and many of the other contestants routines even if different all seems to similar to
each others, but Lindsay's was different as it had so much feeling and emotion that it captivated the audience as
it tells a story in such detail.
Once she was done the crowd erupted with thunderous applause as Lindsay took a bow with a happy
expression on her face as she scans the audience before her eyes landed Lincoln as he had a proud smile as he
gave her a small nod.
Lindsay smile grew bigger then it had ever had in her life.
"Well, Well that was an impressive display now wasn't it" Said the announcer as she took the stage as the other
girls came on stage "Now before we announce the winner lets all give a warm round of applause to all of our
contestants"
At that the whole crowd cheers as the other girls took a bow but Lincoln notices Lola shot Lindsay a quick glare
before she up back on her innocent face.
"Now there are many great contestants but there's only one winner and I shall announce are top three pageant
princesses"
"In third place is Claudette Cassidy" The announce said handing a girl a copper trophy as the audience
applause.
"In second place is" The announcer pause as Lola smirks at Lindsay waiting of her disappointed and rage filled
expression. "Lola Loud"
The Applause came Loud as Lola as well as her family(Minus Lincoln) were shocked, Lola couldn't move, she was
too busy trying to understand what just happened that she didn't realize when the announcer placed the
second place silver trophy in her hands.
"And the winner of the little Miss Wonderland pageant is...Lindsay Sweetwater!" The announcer declared as the
applause became the Loudest it's ever been as Lindsay accepted the first place trophy as well as the new tiara,
The announcer then placed a sash around of her as Lindsay's face was that of pure joy with little happy tears in
her eyes.
Lola couldn't believe it, she lost and to Lindsay Sweetwater of all people. No This couldn't be happening.
Lindsay asked the announcer if she can make an announcement to which he agreed too.
"May I have your attention please" The announcer said as the applause died down "young Lindsay would like to
say something to you folks and I couldn't deny such a request"
After the announcer gave the mic to Lindsay, she took a step forward as she faces the crowd.
"First I would like to thank each and everyone here for showing up to support us" Lindsay says as the crowd
focuses on her "But I would like to thank the person who decided to train me" Lola instantly paid attention to
Lindsay when she heard that as she wants to learn who trained her.
"He came to me the other day and even though the training was tough it was worth all of it as I was able win, but
it's not just my win it's also his" Lindsay said as everyone is now on the edge of their seats wanting to know who
he was "So Please come up and share this moment with me... Lincoln Loud"
The audience was quiet, The Loud's were quiet and most of all Lola was quiet as all eyes followed the white
haired boy that walked to the stage.
"I told you you would win" Lincoln said as he faced Lindsay, who gave him a big smile as she remembered
yesterday.
~Flashback~
"What I want" Lincoln said as he bends a knee to look her in the eyes "Is for you too beat Lola"
Lindsay looked at his with a confused expression "Say what now?"
"I said that I want you to beat Lola" Lincoln repeated
"Look I appreciate the confidence but I have been trying to beat Lola for some time now" Lindsay said "I'm not
giving up, not by a long shot but what makes you think that I'll be able to beat Lola tomorrow?"
"Because you'll have me help you beat her" Lincoln said as Lindsay raised an eyebrow but before she could ask
Lincoln held up a hand to stop her " I'm Lola's pageant coach" Lincoln revealed as Lindsay's eyes widened
"I trained her as well as make her routines, did her make up, nails, as well as steam clean and dry her dresses"
Lincoln listed "I won't help you sabotage her" Lincoln said before she could ask.
"But I am willing to train you into beating her as I won't be helping her with this one." Lincoln said
"And how do you expect to train me in one day to beat Lola" Lindsay asked skeptical of Lincoln's skills.
"Do you know Lana?" Lincoln asked
"You mean Lola's twin" Lindsay replied "The one always covered in mud and eats bugs"
"I was able to train Lana into pageant material in just one day" Lincoln revealed as her eyes widened
"Remember the pageant that Lola was covered in mud, that was-
"-Lana" Lindsay said in realization.
"If he can turn Lana into pageant winning material in a day and not help Lola" Lindsay though "I might actually
win this thing"
"But why help me?" Lindsay had to ask "She's your sister, so why are you going against her?"
"Because she needs to learn that not everything can go her way" Lincoln said with a straight face "And she
needs to know that there are consequences.
"So you help me take down Lola and that's a win for both of us?" Lindsay asked wanting to make sure.
"That's the plan" Lincoln then extended his hand out to her to shake "So, Do we have a deal?" a5
Lindsay had to think about it but if he could help her beat Lola then so be it"
"Deal" Lindsay then grabbed the hand and shook it"
~Flashback end~
That deal was the best thing to ever happened to her the training was tough but she actually had fun too, she
was still skeptical at first especially when he said that less make-up would work better saying that "less can do
more".
But she did it, she won, she didn't know what else to say.
but Lola did
"WHAT!?!" Lola shouted as the crowed looked at the pink covered girl who had a look of rage on her face, but
before she could do anything the Loud sisters all came and dragged her off stage.
Their was a moment of silence before the announcer took back the mic from Lindsay "Well that was a thing...,
have a great day everyone and thank you all for showing up."
Lincoln and Lindsay both made their way back stage as Lindsay sees her family "Oh I can't wait to show my
family my new trophy" Lindsay said as she looks at Lincoln who nodded
"Go on" Lincoln said with a smile on her face "They want to celebrate your big win you should let them"
Lindsay then hugged Lincoln as she said "Thank you" before she runs off to her family
Lincoln smiles before he looks to where his family is, as they try to comfort Lola "Looks like I got to deal with
mine"
As Lincoln made his way to his family Lola was the first to see him.
"YOU!!!" Lola shouted as her mascara was running
"How could you, How could you go behind my back and help Lindsay Sweetwater" Lola accused as the rest of
his family(besides Lisa, Lucy, and Lana as the sick feeling returns)
"How could you go against your sister"
"I can't believe this"
"what were you thinking"
"enough all of you" Rita said as she and Lynn Sr looked at Lincoln with looking disapproving and angry.
"How could you do this to your sister" Lynn Sr yelled as other family's around them were paying attention and
were shock to see almost an entire family going against him "In this family we support each other and you go
behind are backs and do this"
"I did what was necessary" Lincoln said simply
"And how was this necessary?" Rita asked with her arms crossed
"I believe that I would like to know too" Said a voice as they all turned to see Pop-Pop "As well as why are all of
you are ganging up on my grandson"
"But Pop-Pop he-" Lola started to say but Pop-Pop cut her off.
"I know what he did" Pop-Pop said as he looks at Lincoln "And I know he would have a reason in doing it" a2
"So Lincoln please explain how all of this happened and no one will interrupt you, is that clear?" Pop-Pop said
with so much authority that as everyone nodded almost instantly, even the people who were listening nodded
before realizing that the Loud family doesn't even realize that they have an audience.
So Lincoln explained everything from Lola's barging in demanding for help, how he was busy, her tantrum that
made Lily cry, how their parents didn't give her a proper punishment this time or any other time as they have
always gotten away with things and how they still tried to have Lincoln help her.
Lincoln also admitted to have called Albert when things go south.
Not if, when
Albert looked at his family after hearing everything "Is that true?" He asked with a hint of disappointment in his
voice.
At that they all started to deny all of Lincoln's claims as well as the try to down play what really happened except
for Lucy, Lisa and even Lana who just looks down in shame.
Lucy however balls up her fist, she has often stayed on the sideline when this happens.
Not this time.
"It's true Pop-Pop"Lucy said out loud as everyone looked at the little goth, Lucy was nervous with everyone
looking at her but she saw Lincoln's surprise face as it turned into a small smile. That gave her enough strength
to continue.
"Everything that Lincoln said is true" Lucy said as Lisa stood next to her.
"That is indeed what happened Pop-Pop" Lisa said as surprisingly Lana also stood by them, she didn't say
anything but she nodded and when she looked at Lincoln, she saw a smile on his face as he mouthed "Thank
you". The sick feeling in Lana's gut slowly went away.
"Well it looks like I'll be having a talk with all of use as your all in trouble" Albert said as the surrounding people
nodded "Except Lucy, Lisa, Lana, and Lily as the first three told the truth on what happened and Lily is just a
baby."
The Loud's looked down at that as they know Pop-Pop is disappointed in them.
"Uh excuse me" Said a familiar voice as the Loud's turned and saw Becky
"Becky what are you doing here" Lori asked wondering why one of her friends are at a pageant competition.
"Well I'm just here cheering on my sister and to celebrate her win" Becky said as she pointed behind her to were
her family is with Lindsay Sweetwater.
"Lindsay's your sister" Lola asked as she has meet the red head before but didn't know she was related to her
rival.
"You bet and my family and I would Like to invite Lincoln out to our victory dinner" Becky said as she hoped they
would say yes.
"Well were kind of-" Lynn Sr started to say but was cut off by Albert
"That sound lovely" Albert said "If Lincoln is up for it then it's fine by me."
"I'm up for it, Thanks for the invite" Lincoln agreed as Becky beamed as she grabbed Lincoln by the arm and
pulled him to her family. a1
"Be home before it gets late!" Albert shouted as he waved his grandson off with a small chuckle "Eleven years
old and already getting dragged by pretty girls, he get's it from me." He said with a hint of pride, before he
turned to face his family. a5
"And now I think we need to have a talk." He said in a serious voice as they all gulped.
