Chapter 2
7:00 a.m. appeared on Lincoln's alarm, awaking him from a peaceful sleep. The young boy arose from his slumber and yawned. "Man, I needed that." He shut his alarm and rubbed his eyes. "Well, Lincoln. Today's the day that you finally – AHHHHHH!"
Lincoln fell over from shock to see all ten of his sisters standing by his bed looking at him.
"Good morning, Lincoln." They all said in union.
"….Morning?" Lincoln waved at his sisters who all just stood there, motionless. The boy sits there on his bed, just to see if they will move a single inch. But not even a muscle flex from them, even from Lynn. The only hint of movement he could have sworn he saw was a twitch in Luan's eye.
Just standing there with wide eyes and their huge grins that brought no joy to the boy, only an unsettling feeling.
Fiddling his fingers, Lincoln managed to speak to his sisters. "Is there something special today?" He knew it wasn't his birthday or any of theirs, not even Clyde's or Ronnie Anne's. At least he hopes it's not Ronnie Anne's birthday today. Boy would he get a huge black eye during their next visit if he forgot.
After recalling when her birthday actually is, he was lost, lost and slightly worried. He'd never seen his sisters like this before, but what else can he do now but await his answer.
"Something special?" Lori asked as she placed her fists on her arms. "Isn't checking on our favorite brother in the entire world special enough?"
Do they want something? What can he do for them? Usually they all do favors for Lori, but that's only because she can drive. There is nothing he can do for all of them that requires this much ….. stares. Unless he's being tutored by Hugh again, but there is no chance in heck he'll ever show his face around these parts again.
He slowly looked at each sister with all those grins, even Lucy out of all of them, but he tried to stay calm and slowly climb out of bed.
"Well ….. I'm going to-"
"We made breakfast for you!" Without the slightest warning, Lynn picked Lincoln up and ran straight down stairs.
"Ahhhh!" Lincoln cried out as he was forcefully placed at the kitchen table to see a wonderful looking breakfast. There were pancakes, muffins, orange juice, and sausage that were all made freshly. "Woah, this is …. Uhhh." He turned to his side to see his sisters again, giving them that same disturbing grin.
"So … are you taking a seat?"
"Why would we do that, sweet brother of ours?" Luan said as she grasped her hands. "It's all for you."
"All for me!?" If he was in a cartoon, which he's sure he's not, this would look like a heavenly buffet, but he has a normal sized human boy stomach, there is no way he'll fit all this. "But I can't-"
"Nonsense!" Lana literally grabbed a muffin and shoved it in Lincoln's face. "You're a growing boy, now eat and get muscles!"
How can he enjoy a wonderful meal when his five year old sister is forcing it down his throat like she's getting rid of a bomb? At the very least he hope she washed her hands first.
"Mrmm Mr!" Lincoln took a glass of juice and washed down the muffin. "Guys, This is …" He glanced at Lisa and gave a small smile. "This is great an all, but wouldn't this contain too much calories?"
"You are correct, perfect brother that natural selection had brought us." Lisa smiled. "Pancakes are in fact nutrient-less, thus making them one of these worst choices of-" But Luna quickly covered her mouth.
"You don't have to listen to her, bro. Just let those taste buds ride that open road."
Despite the unwelcoming entrance, the muffin was indeed yummy. So for the time being, he took Luna's advice and chow down, and the look of the food did not lie. Everything was just great, so much so that he would like to play rich and fancy to compliment the food, if it weren't for the remaining fact that they're still staring at him.
After eating his fill, he burped loudly and wiped his lips with a napkin. "That was really great, guys." Lincoln stood up. "I can't finish the rest of this though, so you can eat the, huh?" Lincoln looks down to see his baby sister latching onto his leg.
"I-con." Lily spoke his name in her baby voice as she looked up to her big brother with big sparkly eyes, and the grip of a bear.
Lincoln tried walking, but it felt like a ball and chain locked on his ankle.
"Awwwwww, Lily loves you." The sisters said to the struggling boy.
"So very very much." Leni said in awe. "I'm sure she wants you to stay forever and not run away."
"Leni…." They all angrily whispered to Leni to keep her quiet.
Lincoln didn't pay much attention as he tries to gently pry Lily off his leg. "Lily, I know how affectionate you are, but your big brother-"
"Have to see our play!" Lana and Lola dragged Lincoln upstairs as Lily still hold, filling the house with her giggles as Lincoln fills the house with 'ow'. They sat Lincoln on a pillow in the twins' room where the girls have set up a puppet stage.
With the other sisters assistance, they managed to make their pretend stage look real with spot lights and smoke.
"Introducing….." Lola spoke as the spot lights moved around their stage made from sheets and pillows.
"The Legend of Ronnie Anne!" The spot lights focused on the center as the curtains moved to show a sock puppet that sort of resembles Lincoln with a sword. "Take it away, Luna."
Luna played her guitar as she sang a song from a sheet.
"Lincoln has come to town, come to save the princess Ronnie Anne."
Lincoln blushed at the Ronnie Anne part, but he would love for the girls to tease him about it rather than those unsettling stares. They weren't even watching the play.
"The plot took her away now the children don't play but they will when Lincoln saves the day, Halleluiah." Luna slowly leaned to the stage to whisper to the twins. "This song's non-copyrighted, right?"
"We'll look up what 'copyrighted' means later." The two hiss as they get back to their play.
And so began the tale of Puppet Lincoln roaming the crayon-drawn fields as paper monsters were thrown at him.
"Ha-ya, take that!" Then they came across Paper Ronnie Anne trapped under a rock, and the evil containing her, the story board writers.
"Story Board Writers, give back my girlfriend!" Puppet Lincoln said, voiced by Lola.
"You saved me, Lincoln. Kiss me forever!" said the diabolical Story Board Writers.
"Hey, that was supposed to Ronnie Anne's line, and you spoiled the ending!"
"Well we only set this up last night! All you did was throw paper at me and tell me to memorize it."
"That's because I needed somebody to play as everyone else!"
"And how come you only have one role and I have a million of 'em?"
"Because I'm the star!"
"I want to be the star!"
"No, me!"
It took a night to create their play of illusion and tales, but only a few seconds of fighting to obliterate it. The two rolled towards Lincoln in their daily struggle as they shout at one another. The only thing that stopped them was that one glance at Lincoln. They quickly halted their fight and stood straight up.
"I mean I love you, sister." Lola said.
"I love you too, sister."
Lincoln always watches those two fight and every time it warms his heart to see them make up, but they just have to give him those, those creepy smiles.
"In fact, I'll wrap us up in ducktape!" Lala took out a roll of ducktape and wrap them together without the other's consent.
"What's going on?" Lincoln only wanted answers, but he was again dragged away with Lily holding him hostage as they go into the living room.
"Hey, Lincoln." Luan jumped next to him on the couch as the T.V. turned on. "How about we go on a nostalgia trip of our childhood, where we were soooooo happy together, and still are!"
The T.V. showed a time of when Lincoln was a toddler as Luan held his hand in the park. "See how adorable we were, I mean still are." Then the video showed young Lincoln's face being smothered in a pie from Luan. "OOPS!" Luan quickly fast forward as the other sisters glared at her.
"O.K., how about this?" the next video showed Luan and Lincoln a few years later, they were in the kitchen finger painting, but then Luan swapped one paint with glue which made Lincoln's finger stuck on his masterpiece.
"Next!" Luan started to sweat as the next video showed Lincoln during his 2nd grade Christmas concert, which Luan herself pranked the entire stage with a sheet ghost covered in ketchup.
"That's enough videos for today." Lynn shut the T.V. off and dragged Lincoln outside. "Now let's play bowling!"
"Bowling?" Lincoln lifted an eyebrow. "I thought you prefer more rough games?"
"Naaaaw." Lynn waved him off. "It's good to take it easy for a while."
"WHAT?!" Why does Lynn want to take it easy in sports?! Is he letting his imagination run wild again?
The kids set up the pins, with Lana and Lola struggling, as Lynn took the first try. "Now let's play some nice bowling while I cream, I mean see if I can possibly win; which I know I can't beat you." Lynn gave her creepiest grin yet in all this, if the fact the win-addict just stated she can't win was terrifying enough.
Lynn gave a competitive smile with her tongue sticking out as she gives a good aim towards the pins.
"Ahem." The other girls quietly cleared their throats to remind Lynn to not take it seriously. She took a deep breath and threw the ball 90 degrees away from the pins.
"Oops."
"OOPS!?" Lincoln yelled out. "You threw that ball over there on purpose!"
Lynn gasped as the other girls began to worry. "Oh, well."
Lincoln and the others noticed the plastic bowling ball bouncing off random objects in the back yard which eventually flew right into Lincoln's face; pushing him to the ground, head first.
.
.
.
"…Uhhhhhh." Lincoln slowly regained consciousness and found himself in the living room once more. "What happened?" He said in a dreary state.
"Good day, brother!"
"Ah!" Lincoln yelp as Lisa popped out of nowhere like Lucy.
"I see you have recovered from your recent head injury, blood brother who is indeed our relative by blood since you share other facial characteristics besides Pop Pops's white hair.
"Huh?" Lincoln asked as he sat up.
"No no, you must rest." Lisa laid Lincoln down. "Rest your head on this here pillow while I prepare a nutritious drink."
"Lisa, what's going on?" Lincoln asked, getting rather suspicious. "Usually you'll speak in that science language, how come-"
But suddenly loud sirens can be heard from upstairs. He looked up to see Lucy walking down, with red siren lights all on her body.
"Hello, wonderful cherished brother from the world of light." Lucy said those non-dark themed words with a smile. Lucy, saying non-dark themed words? What is this world coming to? And is that a Rose of Sharon in her hair? "I shed my mysterious appearance so I will no longer strike a single second of fear in the hearts of my loved ones." She has a huge disturbing grin and gave Lincoln a tight hug. "I love you, brother of mine."
"Yes, there is nothing more powerful than sibling love." Lisa said with a smile. "We all share sibling and family love. That is the only love we ever need and will only have here in this wonderful Loud House of ours."
"Because we are related by blood, which you are related to us by blood, brother." Lucy squeezed her cheek to Lincoln, nearly suffocating him.
"Guys, I-" Lincoln shook his leg as saw that Lily was still holding onto him, even when he was knocked out.
"Inc-Inc!" Lily leaned her head on Lincoln's leg, still giving him that smile.
Lincoln looked at both Lisa and Lucy, afraid to ask what they want.
"You're probably want to know what we want?" Lucy asked.
"Ah!" Lincoln yelled.
Lucy quickly covered her mouth as Lisa took Lincoln's attention. "Brother, we have a poem for you."
"A-A poem?" He'd received a couple of poems before from Lucy, but today he's not feeling up to it, especially now that Lisa is somehow involved. "I think I'll-"
"Love it." Lucy removed her mouth. "Love it just like a sibling, because we're siblings and we love each other like siblings."
"I get that already, why are you giving so many reminders?" Lincoln asked as Lisa and Lucy prepare for this poem.
"This one is called, 'Lincoln'." Spoke Lucy as Lisa plays the bongos, and now Lisa is playing an instrument. Why isn't Luna doing this one?
"Lincoln, you are a gift from above."
"Technically speaking, he was formed in the-" Then Lola and Lana randomly rolled in, stilled wrapped in ducktape, and Lana literally put a sock in Lisa's mouth.
"You are a brother that we all love."
"Again, I get that." Lincoln mildly asks as Lily hugs his leg tighter.
"Even though it is hard to see it, we will always hold on." Lucy took a deep breath. "Through walls and fire, you will always find the ….. dang it, I forgot to finish it."
Lisa's eyes bulged as he spit out the sock. "You did what?!"
"I was under a lot a stress, O.K.?" Lucy threw her arms out.
"Come here, elder sister." Lisa dragged Lucy into the kitchen, feeding Lincoln's curiosity. He quietly leaned close to the entrance and hushed the giggling baby to keep quiet.
As Lily happily covers her mouth, Lincoln eavesdrops to his two young sisters.
"Do you have any idea what consequence this will have if it all fails?" Lisa quietly barked at Lucy.
"I am unfamiliar with this form of torment, to make one mistake that will leave our plan broken." Lucy said in her dark tone. "My mind and soul have departure and now travel two dark paths of separation."
"Don't you think I'm aware of that, too?" Lisa took a deep breath to calm herself. "Things must go according to plan, you will know what will happen if this fail, especially if Lincoln learns of our mission."
"Plan?" Lincoln whispered to himself. "What are they talking about?"
"There you are!" Lori called out and grabbed Lincoln. "You have a date with Ronnie Anne!"
"What, now!?" Lincoln started to panic. "But we're not, sort of, I-"
"We'll take care of your looks." Lori clapped her hands. "Oh girls! Lincoln got a hot date with Ronnie Anne!"
The next thing he knew, he was being swarmed by his sisters preparing him for a good time, while the twins are still stuck together.
"At least this part is normal." Lincoln said to himself as they brought him to the kitchen, where there's a live chat with Ronnie Anne, and Bobby.
"It's a double date!" Lori sat down and smiled at Bobby. "How's my Boo-Boo Bear doing?"
Lincoln looked on the screen to see Bobby too is giving that disturbing grin, but not Ronnie Anne at least.
"Why it's great to see this loving family again." Unlike the other sisters, Bobby looked like he could break at any moment, with sweat racing down his face as he breath repeatedly through his teeth.
"Make that a triple date!" Luan grinned as she run to the back door. "Introducing the boy I have a crush on!" Luan opened the door and in came …. Someone of the opposite gender. "Huh? You're not Benny!?"
"And this isn't the Zombie Café." said a goth girl looking around.
"Didn't we entertain her birthday party as mimes once?" Lincoln asked.
"Yeah ….. once." The goth girl walked out and Luan shuts the door. "Huh, a Loud Sister dating a girl? Ha, that's pretty funny." Luan laughed as Luna mumbled something.
"Rrrrrrr, I have had it!" Everyone turned to Ronnie Anne who looked frustrated, and to Lincoln's eyes the only other sane person he saw all day. Hey, were did mom and dad go? "Lincoln Loud, are you really-"
Before she could finish, Lori shut the laptop off. "Well would you look at the time, it's time for Luna's-"
Lincoln's phone rang and the boy answered. "Hey, Ronnie Anne, so what's-" Lori grabbed the phone and threw it outside.
"Hey!"
"Luna, sing!" everyone shouted at the rock star.
"Yeah yeah, I'll play ya a nice, simple and st-st-straight forward song." Everyone sat down and forcefully hugged Lincoln still as Luna sang, for several hours. Well that what it felt like to Lincoln. Heck, he doesn't even know what she was singing anyway; something about not seeing the signs or whatever.
The yawn he gave indicates he did not care at the moment. He just wants to be free and ready himself for tonight.
He looked at the clock and noticed it was in the middle of the afternoon. He really needs to go back to his room and double check his belongings before he heads out to Comic Book Camp, at least normal things can happen there instead of here. But can it get worse?
"I say that's enough music for one day." Leni said as Luna takes a break. "Now that we double checked the security when you were distra-" Nearly all girls gestured her to cut it. "Distraaaaacting Ronnie Anne with your handsome face."
"Ronnie Anne? Is she-"
"Not here!" Leni nervously laughed. "But do you know what is here, my new clothes for you to try on!"
Suddenly the girls heard a quick zoom. They looked at where they had Lincoln and found that he has slipped passed them at an alarming speed, leaving only a spinning and laughing Lily behind.
"Nice going, Leni!" Lori shouted at her first sister. "You made Lincoln leave with your ugly clothes!"
Leni gasped. "Ugly!? Not nearly as ugly as your shirt!"
"What did you just say about my shirt?!" The two eldest sisters started to argue as Lana and Lola have their own predicament.
"I have to use the bathroom." Lana stated.
"Well get us out of here and go." Lola said in her bossy tone.
"But I feel like Catdog like this." Lana smiled. "And they never showed how they go to the bathroom."
"Ew, I don't want to know and I don't want to try!"
Luan and Luna stepped in and cut the tape; but as they do, Luan started to laugh to herself. "Ha, me dating that goth girl I only saw once, a girl! Ah ha ha! That's just so stupid! Even if we do know each other, why would I date someone who'll never laugh at my jokes, or at the very least another girl?" Luan fell to the ground and rolled around. "Why would any of us date a girl? Besides Lincoln, of course. I mean it doesn't make any sense. Boy am I laughing at this way too hard for some reason."
"Oh, for some reason, ay?" Luna glared at Luan who caught this instantly. "Well if you think it's soooooo funny, why not go right to Clyde's parents and laugh at them!"
Luan gasped and started shouting at Luna. "What's that supposed to mean, what did they ever do to you? You have a problem with their love?!"
"Wait, what are you …. Arh!"
Lisa shook her head at the six kids arguing. "Why must they fight like barbarians who only care about kicking rocks at things?"
"Hey, I like kicking rocks at things!" Lynn leaned down at Lisa. "I guess I'm not just girly enough, am I you nerd!"
Lisa gasped from hearing herself be called a nerd, and then a primal rage filled the young genius's mind. "Well you can at least start giving off an odor similar to a civilized girl! But that is nothing compared to your last action, which I remind you was knocking out Lincoln!"
"Sigh." Lucy said as she turned away from the brawl and looked directly into a mirror. "I guess I should fight my inner self, again."
Lily was the only sister to not have someone to yell at, and that showed the infant the errors of her siblings' ways that they were so desperately trying to avoid for one reason. Her eyes began to water cried out in distress.
They all stopped their arguing and asked Lily what was wrong.
"Linky." She spoke as she gives those big, watery, puppy dog eyes.
The sisters stepped back from each other, realizing what they're doing.
"Of darn it, not again!" Lori stomped her feet as Leni began to cry.
"I'm sorry, Lori!"
"I'm sorry, too!"
One by one, the sisters apologized to each other as they calm themselves in order to get their plan back in motion.
"Girls, this is why Lincoln is going to leave us." Lori said to them all as she checked her cellphone. "We probably only have until after dinner time, if we don't change his minds yet, then we'll just have to throw down all the cards."
"And alas, I foresee it will fail, like us." Lucy sighed.
"Even if we drop and beg to his knees, he'll just leave us as he please." Luna said, sitting on the floor. "I don't want to lose him."
"We don't either." Lola and Lana went to Luna for comfort.
Lynn picked up Lily as the girls looked at her. "I'm a rough girl, but maybe we should really take this slow and make a nice dinner for him."
"I like that." Luan smiled. "Plus I think we were kind of scaring him with those big grins." All girls agreed.
"Well then let's make Lincoln and all of us a nice meal with no fighting, just us loving each other."
"Love as in the tribal bonds, in other words, family love." Lisa said. "Since we are related by blood, thus we shall love each other like blood relatives."
"I'm sure everyone already got the message long ago." Lori said to the young scientist as she gave a soft smile. "So let's make Lincoln's favorite meal."
"Yeah." They said peacefully as they gathered around to prepare for dinner. But seriously, where're the folks?
"I just don't understand." Lincoln Loud was pacing in his small room, trying his best to figure out what in the world is happening to his sisters. "We were fighting over something ridiculous yesterday, and the first thing on the next day they're all so ….. cheerful?"
Lincoln was really conflicted if that was the right choice of words.
"Then they dragged me around to do some family bonding in a freakish way." Lincoln sat on his bed as he continues to contemplate. "Yet now Lucy's being less gloomy, Lynn's being less competitive, and the twins are really trying to not fight each other, and why was Bobby acting like that but not Ronnie Anne, what was she trying to say?"
Lincoln scratched his chin as he took his laptop out to try calling his not girlfriend, but no internet signal.
"Did they cut the connection?!" Lincoln sighed in frustration as he lay on his bed. "And they mentioned something about a mission ….. a mission that I can't find out about …. Sort of sounds like…"
Lincoln's heart skipped a beat.
"No…." He dug right through under his bed, threw out multiple items, and found an old comic book. He jumped back on bed and read through the pages. "After a fight … now they act happy … improve on annoying traits …. Prepare fatty foods … always involve family … oh no!" Lincoln gasped loudly. "My sisters have been replaced by aliens!"
Lincoln looked back at the comic which showed some aliens kidnapping a boy's family after a huge fight and started to act super happy around the boy the next day as they perform activities which they do not fully grasp.
"It all makes sense now!" He jumped up and waved his arms around. "They're not acting like themselves, try not to fight, keep reminding me that they're my real family, wanted to check my house security for weaknesses, and Bobby ... No!" Lincoln called out. "They got Bobby, and now they're going after Ronnie Anne!"
Lincoln angrily held his fist tightly. "I will not stand for this!" Lincoln checked the book again and flipped to the ending. "And there is only one way to save her, and my sisters!" He looked forward with determined eyes. "Prepare for your doom, aliens!"

Chapter 2
7:00 a.m. appeared on Lincoln's alarm, awaking him from a peaceful sleep. The young boy arose from his slumber and yawned. "Man, I needed that." He shut his alarm and rubbed his eyes. "Well, Lincoln. Today's the day that you finally – AHHHHHH!"
Lincoln fell over from shock to see all ten of his sisters standing by his bed looking at him.
"Good morning, Lincoln." They all said in union.
"….Morning?" Lincoln waved at his sisters who all just stood there, motionless. The boy sits there on his bed, just to see if they will move a single inch. But not even a muscle flex from them, even from Lynn. The only hint of movement he could have sworn he saw was a twitch in Luan's eye.
Just standing there with wide eyes and their huge grins that brought no joy to the boy, only an unsettling feeling.
Fiddling his fingers, Lincoln managed to speak to his sisters. "Is there something special today?" He knew it wasn't his birthday or any of theirs, not even Clyde's or Ronnie Anne's. At least he hopes it's not Ronnie Anne's birthday today. Boy would he get a huge black eye during their next visit if he forgot.
After recalling when her birthday actually is, he was lost, lost and slightly worried. He'd never seen his sisters like this before, but what else can he do now but await his answer.
"Something special?" Lori asked as she placed her fists on her arms. "Isn't checking on our favorite brother in the entire world special enough?"
Do they want something? What can he do for them? Usually they all do favors for Lori, but that's only because she can drive. There is nothing he can do for all of them that requires this much ….. stares. Unless he's being tutored by Hugh again, but there is no chance in heck he'll ever show his face around these parts again.
He slowly looked at each sister with all those grins, even Lucy out of all of them, but he tried to stay calm and slowly climb out of bed.
"Well ….. I'm going to-"
"We made breakfast for you!" Without the slightest warning, Lynn picked Lincoln up and ran straight down stairs.
"Ahhhh!" Lincoln cried out as he was forcefully placed at the kitchen table to see a wonderful looking breakfast. There were pancakes, muffins, orange juice, and sausage that were all made freshly. "Woah, this is …. Uhhh." He turned to his side to see his sisters again, giving them that same disturbing grin.
"So … are you taking a seat?"
"Why would we do that, sweet brother of ours?" Luan said as she grasped her hands. "It's all for you."
"All for me!?" If he was in a cartoon, which he's sure he's not, this would look like a heavenly buffet, but he has a normal sized human boy stomach, there is no way he'll fit all this. "But I can't-"
"Nonsense!" Lana literally grabbed a muffin and shoved it in Lincoln's face. "You're a growing boy, now eat and get muscles!"
How can he enjoy a wonderful meal when his five year old sister is forcing it down his throat like she's getting rid of a bomb? At the very least he hope she washed her hands first.
"Mrmm Mr!" Lincoln took a glass of juice and washed down the muffin. "Guys, This is …" He glanced at Lisa and gave a small smile. "This is great an all, but wouldn't this contain too much calories?"
"You are correct, perfect brother that natural selection had brought us." Lisa smiled. "Pancakes are in fact nutrient-less, thus making them one of these worst choices of-" But Luna quickly covered her mouth.
"You don't have to listen to her, bro. Just let those taste buds ride that open road."
Despite the unwelcoming entrance, the muffin was indeed yummy. So for the time being, he took Luna's advice and chow down, and the look of the food did not lie. Everything was just great, so much so that he would like to play rich and fancy to compliment the food, if it weren't for the remaining fact that they're still staring at him.
After eating his fill, he burped loudly and wiped his lips with a napkin. "That was really great, guys." Lincoln stood up. "I can't finish the rest of this though, so you can eat the, huh?" Lincoln looks down to see his baby sister latching onto his leg.
"I-con." Lily spoke his name in her baby voice as she looked up to her big brother with big sparkly eyes, and the grip of a bear.
Lincoln tried walking, but it felt like a ball and chain locked on his ankle.
"Awwwwww, Lily loves you." The sisters said to the struggling boy.
"So very very much." Leni said in awe. "I'm sure she wants you to stay forever and not run away."
"Leni…." They all angrily whispered to Leni to keep her quiet.
Lincoln didn't pay much attention as he tries to gently pry Lily off his leg. "Lily, I know how affectionate you are, but your big brother-"
"Have to see our play!" Lana and Lola dragged Lincoln upstairs as Lily still hold, filling the house with her giggles as Lincoln fills the house with 'ow'. They sat Lincoln on a pillow in the twins' room where the girls have set up a puppet stage.
With the other sisters assistance, they managed to make their pretend stage look real with spot lights and smoke.
"Introducing….." Lola spoke as the spot lights moved around their stage made from sheets and pillows.
"The Legend of Ronnie Anne!" The spot lights focused on the center as the curtains moved to show a sock puppet that sort of resembles Lincoln with a sword. "Take it away, Luna."
Luna played her guitar as she sang a song from a sheet.
"Lincoln has come to town, come to save the princess Ronnie Anne."
Lincoln blushed at the Ronnie Anne part, but he would love for the girls to tease him about it rather than those unsettling stares. They weren't even watching the play.
"The plot took her away now the children don't play but they will when Lincoln saves the day, Halleluiah." Luna slowly leaned to the stage to whisper to the twins. "This song's non-copyrighted, right?"
"We'll look up what 'copyrighted' means later." The two hiss as they get back to their play.
And so began the tale of Puppet Lincoln roaming the crayon-drawn fields as paper monsters were thrown at him.
"Ha-ya, take that!" Then they came across Paper Ronnie Anne trapped under a rock, and the evil containing her, the story board writers.
"Story Board Writers, give back my girlfriend!" Puppet Lincoln said, voiced by Lola.
"You saved me, Lincoln. Kiss me forever!" said the diabolical Story Board Writers.
"Hey, that was supposed to Ronnie Anne's line, and you spoiled the ending!"
"Well we only set this up last night! All you did was throw paper at me and tell me to memorize it."
"That's because I needed somebody to play as everyone else!"
"And how come you only have one role and I have a million of 'em?"
"Because I'm the star!"
"I want to be the star!"
"No, me!"
It took a night to create their play of illusion and tales, but only a few seconds of fighting to obliterate it. The two rolled towards Lincoln in their daily struggle as they shout at one another. The only thing that stopped them was that one glance at Lincoln. They quickly halted their fight and stood straight up.
"I mean I love you, sister." Lola said.
"I love you too, sister."
Lincoln always watches those two fight and every time it warms his heart to see them make up, but they just have to give him those, those creepy smiles.
"In fact, I'll wrap us up in ducktape!" Lala took out a roll of ducktape and wrap them together without the other's consent.
"What's going on?" Lincoln only wanted answers, but he was again dragged away with Lily holding him hostage as they go into the living room.
"Hey, Lincoln." Luan jumped next to him on the couch as the T.V. turned on. "How about we go on a nostalgia trip of our childhood, where we were soooooo happy together, and still are!"
The T.V. showed a time of when Lincoln was a toddler as Luan held his hand in the park. "See how adorable we were, I mean still are." Then the video showed young Lincoln's face being smothered in a pie from Luan. "OOPS!" Luan quickly fast forward as the other sisters glared at her.
"O.K., how about this?" the next video showed Luan and Lincoln a few years later, they were in the kitchen finger painting, but then Luan swapped one paint with glue which made Lincoln's finger stuck on his masterpiece.
"Next!" Luan started to sweat as the next video showed Lincoln during his 2nd grade Christmas concert, which Luan herself pranked the entire stage with a sheet ghost covered in ketchup.
"That's enough videos for today." Lynn shut the T.V. off and dragged Lincoln outside. "Now let's play bowling!"
"Bowling?" Lincoln lifted an eyebrow. "I thought you prefer more rough games?"
"Naaaaw." Lynn waved him off. "It's good to take it easy for a while."
"WHAT?!" Why does Lynn want to take it easy in sports?! Is he letting his imagination run wild again?
The kids set up the pins, with Lana and Lola struggling, as Lynn took the first try. "Now let's play some nice bowling while I cream, I mean see if I can possibly win; which I know I can't beat you." Lynn gave her creepiest grin yet in all this, if the fact the win-addict just stated she can't win was terrifying enough.
Lynn gave a competitive smile with her tongue sticking out as she gives a good aim towards the pins.
"Ahem." The other girls quietly cleared their throats to remind Lynn to not take it seriously. She took a deep breath and threw the ball 90 degrees away from the pins.
"Oops."
"OOPS!?" Lincoln yelled out. "You threw that ball over there on purpose!"
Lynn gasped as the other girls began to worry. "Oh, well."
Lincoln and the others noticed the plastic bowling ball bouncing off random objects in the back yard which eventually flew right into Lincoln's face; pushing him to the ground, head first.

"…Uhhhhhh." Lincoln slowly regained consciousness and found himself in the living room once more. "What happened?" He said in a dreary state.
"Good day, brother!"
"Ah!" Lincoln yelp as Lisa popped out of nowhere like Lucy.
"I see you have recovered from your recent head injury, blood brother who is indeed our relative by blood since you share other facial characteristics besides Pop Pops's white hair.
"Huh?" Lincoln asked as he sat up.
"No no, you must rest." Lisa laid Lincoln down. "Rest your head on this here pillow while I prepare a nutritious drink."
"Lisa, what's going on?" Lincoln asked, getting rather suspicious. "Usually you'll speak in that science language, how come-"
But suddenly loud sirens can be heard from upstairs. He looked up to see Lucy walking down, with red siren lights all on her body.
"Hello, wonderful cherished brother from the world of light." Lucy said those non-dark themed words with a smile. Lucy, saying non-dark themed words? What is this world coming to? And is that a Rose of Sharon in her hair? "I shed my mysterious appearance so I will no longer strike a single second of fear in the hearts of my loved ones." She has a huge disturbing grin and gave Lincoln a tight hug. "I love you, brother of mine."
"Yes, there is nothing more powerful than sibling love." Lisa said with a smile. "We all share sibling and family love. That is the only love we ever need and will only have here in this wonderful Loud House of ours."
"Because we are related by blood, which you are related to us by blood, brother." Lucy squeezed her cheek to Lincoln, nearly suffocating him.
"Guys, I-" Lincoln shook his leg as saw that Lily was still holding onto him, even when he was knocked out.
"Inc-Inc!" Lily leaned her head on Lincoln's leg, still giving him that smile.
Lincoln looked at both Lisa and Lucy, afraid to ask what they want.
"You're probably want to know what we want?" Lucy asked.
"Ah!" Lincoln yelled.
Lucy quickly covered her mouth as Lisa took Lincoln's attention. "Brother, we have a poem for you."
"A-A poem?" He'd received a couple of poems before from Lucy, but today he's not feeling up to it, especially now that Lisa is somehow involved. "I think I'll-"
"Love it." Lucy removed her mouth. "Love it just like a sibling, because we're siblings and we love each other like siblings."
"I get that already, why are you giving so many reminders?" Lincoln asked as Lisa and Lucy prepare for this poem.
"This one is called, 'Lincoln'." Spoke Lucy as Lisa plays the bongos, and now Lisa is playing an instrument. Why isn't Luna doing this one?
"Lincoln, you are a gift from above."
"Technically speaking, he was formed in the-" Then Lola and Lana randomly rolled in, stilled wrapped in ducktape, and Lana literally put a sock in Lisa's mouth.
"You are a brother that we all love."
"Again, I get that." Lincoln mildly asks as Lily hugs his leg tighter.
"Even though it is hard to see it, we will always hold on." Lucy took a deep breath. "Through walls and fire, you will always find the ….. dang it, I forgot to finish it."
Lisa's eyes bulged as he spit out the sock. "You did what?!"
"I was under a lot a stress, O.K.?" Lucy threw her arms out.
"Come here, elder sister." Lisa dragged Lucy into the kitchen, feeding Lincoln's curiosity. He quietly leaned close to the entrance and hushed the giggling baby to keep quiet.
As Lily happily covers her mouth, Lincoln eavesdrops to his two young sisters.
"Do you have any idea what consequence this will have if it all fails?" Lisa quietly barked at Lucy.
"I am unfamiliar with this form of torment, to make one mistake that will leave our plan broken." Lucy said in her dark tone. "My mind and soul have departure and now travel two dark paths of separation."
"Don't you think I'm aware of that, too?" Lisa took a deep breath to calm herself. "Things must go according to plan, you will know what will happen if this fail, especially if Lincoln learns of our mission."
"Plan?" Lincoln whispered to himself. "What are they talking about?"
"There you are!" Lori called out and grabbed Lincoln. "You have a date with Ronnie Anne!"
"What, now!?" Lincoln started to panic. "But we're not, sort of, I-"
"We'll take care of your looks." Lori clapped her hands. "Oh girls! Lincoln got a hot date with Ronnie Anne!"
The next thing he knew, he was being swarmed by his sisters preparing him for a good time, while the twins are still stuck together.
"At least this part is normal." Lincoln said to himself as they brought him to the kitchen, where there's a live chat with Ronnie Anne, and Bobby.
"It's a double date!" Lori sat down and smiled at Bobby. "How's my Boo-Boo Bear doing?"
Lincoln looked on the screen to see Bobby too is giving that disturbing grin, but not Ronnie Anne at least.
"Why it's great to see this loving family again." Unlike the other sisters, Bobby looked like he could break at any moment, with sweat racing down his face as he breath repeatedly through his teeth.
"Make that a triple date!" Luan grinned as she run to the back door. "Introducing the boy I have a crush on!" Luan opened the door and in came …. Someone of the opposite gender. "Huh? You're not Benny!?"
"And this isn't the Zombie Café." said a goth girl looking around.
"Didn't we entertain her birthday party as mimes once?" Lincoln asked.
"Yeah ….. once." The goth girl walked out and Luan shuts the door. "Huh, a Loud Sister dating a girl? Ha, that's pretty funny." Luan laughed as Luna mumbled something.
"Rrrrrrr, I have had it!" Everyone turned to Ronnie Anne who looked frustrated, and to Lincoln's eyes the only other sane person he saw all day. Hey, were did mom and dad go? "Lincoln Loud, are you really-"
Before she could finish, Lori shut the laptop off. "Well would you look at the time, it's time for Luna's-"
Lincoln's phone rang and the boy answered. "Hey, Ronnie Anne, so what's-" Lori grabbed the phone and threw it outside.
"Hey!"
"Luna, sing!" everyone shouted at the rock star.
"Yeah yeah, I'll play ya a nice, simple and st-st-straight forward song." Everyone sat down and forcefully hugged Lincoln still as Luna sang, for several hours. Well that what it felt like to Lincoln. Heck, he doesn't even know what she was singing anyway; something about not seeing the signs or whatever.
The yawn he gave indicates he did not care at the moment. He just wants to be free and ready himself for tonight.
He looked at the clock and noticed it was in the middle of the afternoon. He really needs to go back to his room and double check his belongings before he heads out to Comic Book Camp, at least normal things can happen there instead of here. But can it get worse?
"I say that's enough music for one day." Leni said as Luna takes a break. "Now that we double checked the security when you were distra-" Nearly all girls gestured her to cut it. "Distraaaaacting Ronnie Anne with your handsome face."
"Ronnie Anne? Is she-"
"Not here!" Leni nervously laughed. "But do you know what is here, my new clothes for you to try on!"
Suddenly the girls heard a quick zoom. They looked at where they had Lincoln and found that he has slipped passed them at an alarming speed, leaving only a spinning and laughing Lily behind.
"Nice going, Leni!" Lori shouted at her first sister. "You made Lincoln leave with your ugly clothes!"
Leni gasped. "Ugly!? Not nearly as ugly as your shirt!"
"What did you just say about my shirt?!" The two eldest sisters started to argue as Lana and Lola have their own predicament.
"I have to use the bathroom." Lana stated.
"Well get us out of here and go." Lola said in her bossy tone.
"But I feel like Catdog like this." Lana smiled. "And they never showed how they go to the bathroom."
"Ew, I don't want to know and I don't want to try!"
Luan and Luna stepped in and cut the tape; but as they do, Luan started to laugh to herself. "Ha, me dating that goth girl I only saw once, a girl! Ah ha ha! That's just so stupid! Even if we do know each other, why would I date someone who'll never laugh at my jokes, or at the very least another girl?" Luan fell to the ground and rolled around. "Why would any of us date a girl? Besides Lincoln, of course. I mean it doesn't make any sense. Boy am I laughing at this way too hard for some reason."
"Oh, for some reason, ay?" Luna glared at Luan who caught this instantly. "Well if you think it's soooooo funny, why not go right to Clyde's parents and laugh at them!"
Luan gasped and started shouting at Luna. "What's that supposed to mean, what did they ever do to you? You have a problem with their love?!"
"Wait, what are you …. Arh!"
Lisa shook her head at the six kids arguing. "Why must they fight like barbarians who only care about kicking rocks at things?"
"Hey, I like kicking rocks at things!" Lynn leaned down at Lisa. "I guess I'm not just girly enough, am I you nerd!"
Lisa gasped from hearing herself be called a nerd, and then a primal rage filled the young genius's mind. "Well you can at least start giving off an odor similar to a civilized girl! But that is nothing compared to your last action, which I remind you was knocking out Lincoln!"
"Sigh." Lucy said as she turned away from the brawl and looked directly into a mirror. "I guess I should fight my inner self, again."
Lily was the only sister to not have someone to yell at, and that showed the infant the errors of her siblings' ways that they were so desperately trying to avoid for one reason. Her eyes began to water cried out in distress.
They all stopped their arguing and asked Lily what was wrong.
"Linky." She spoke as she gives those big, watery, puppy dog eyes.
The sisters stepped back from each other, realizing what they're doing.
"Of darn it, not again!" Lori stomped her feet as Leni began to cry.
"I'm sorry, Lori!"
"I'm sorry, too!"
One by one, the sisters apologized to each other as they calm themselves in order to get their plan back in motion.
"Girls, this is why Lincoln is going to leave us." Lori said to them all as she checked her cellphone. "We probably only have until after dinner time, if we don't change his minds yet, then we'll just have to throw down all the cards."
"And alas, I foresee it will fail, like us." Lucy sighed.
"Even if we drop and beg to his knees, he'll just leave us as he please." Luna said, sitting on the floor. "I don't want to lose him."
"We don't either." Lola and Lana went to Luna for comfort.
Lynn picked up Lily as the girls looked at her. "I'm a rough girl, but maybe we should really take this slow and make a nice dinner for him."
"I like that." Luan smiled. "Plus I think we were kind of scaring him with those big grins." All girls agreed.
"Well then let's make Lincoln and all of us a nice meal with no fighting, just us loving each other."
"Love as in the tribal bonds, in other words, family love." Lisa said. "Since we are related by blood, thus we shall love each other like blood relatives."
"I'm sure everyone already got the message long ago." Lori said to the young scientist as she gave a soft smile. "So let's make Lincoln's favorite meal."
"Yeah." They said peacefully as they gathered around to prepare for dinner. But seriously, where're the folks?
"I just don't understand." Lincoln Loud was pacing in his small room, trying his best to figure out what in the world is happening to his sisters. "We were fighting over something ridiculous yesterday, and the first thing on the next day they're all so ….. cheerful?"
Lincoln was really conflicted if that was the right choice of words.
"Then they dragged me around to do some family bonding in a freakish way." Lincoln sat on his bed as he continues to contemplate. "Yet now Lucy's being less gloomy, Lynn's being less competitive, and the twins are really trying to not fight each other, and why was Bobby acting like that but not Ronnie Anne, what was she trying to say?"
Lincoln scratched his chin as he took his laptop out to try calling his not girlfriend, but no internet signal.
"Did they cut the connection?!" Lincoln sighed in frustration as he lay on his bed. "And they mentioned something about a mission ….. a mission that I can't find out about …. Sort of sounds like…"
Lincoln's heart skipped a beat.
"No…." He dug right through under his bed, threw out multiple items, and found an old comic book. He jumped back on bed and read through the pages. "After a fight … now they act happy … improve on annoying traits …. Prepare fatty foods … always involve family … oh no!" Lincoln gasped loudly. "My sisters have been replaced by aliens!"
Lincoln looked back at the comic which showed some aliens kidnapping a boy's family after a huge fight and started to act super happy around the boy the next day as they perform activities which they do not fully grasp.
"It all makes sense now!" He jumped up and waved his arms around. "They're not acting like themselves, try not to fight, keep reminding me that they're my real family, wanted to check my house security for weaknesses, and Bobby ... No!" Lincoln called out. "They got Bobby, and now they're going after Ronnie Anne!"
Lincoln angrily held his fist tightly. "I will not stand for this!" Lincoln checked the book again and flipped to the ending. "And there is only one way to save her, and my sisters!" He looked forward with determined eyes. "Prepare for your doom, aliens!"
