(No POV)
A few minutes after the fight Haiku's mom showed up and after learning about what had happen mere moments
ago started to fuss over the young goth as well as thank Lincoln for looking out for her.
"You don't need to thank me." Lincoln told her "I'm just glad that their not hurt"
In that moment he showed a such a gentle smile that made Haiku turn away as she started to play with her hair,
her face with a slight tint of pink. Looking at her friend Lucy couldn't help but giggle, but Haiku's mom looks
with slight concern.
"Are you sure your alright dear?" Her mother ask with worry
"Y-yes mom I'm fine" Haiku stutters
"Are you sure?" Lincoln asked as he gentle placed the palm of his hand on her forehead causing Haiku's blush to
worsen "hmm you do feel a little hot and your face is turning red"
"I-uh-wha" Haiku spluttered out
By this point Lucy is finding it hard to contain her laughter as she records this on her phone, "Lori may think that
Lincoln should be with Ronnie Anne, but this has convinced me otherwise" thought Lucy as she thinks Haiku
might be the perfect match for her brother.
Haiku's mom seemed to figure out what has going on as she looks at the nice young man that protected her
daughter "I like this one, I do hope that they get together as they would make such a cute couple." a2
~An hour Later~
Soon enough Haiku's mom dropped them off at their home and as Lincoln when to the trunk to get his bags was
when she decided to tease her daughter.
"So when are you planning to ask out your white haired hero dear" She said in a teasing voice causing Haiku's
eyes to widen.
"MOM!" Haiku shouted before turning to Lucy worriedly, hoping to convince Lucy that it was a lie.
"It's fine if you want to date him" Lucy said as Haiku's words died in her throat "I'm rooting for you, it would be
cool if you two hit it off and who knows you might become my sister-in-law if things work out."
"See you got one of his sisters approval already" said Haiku's mom encouragingly
At this point Haiku is reduced to a blushing stuttering mess as she tries and fails to think of something to say to
the madness that was going on, but was once more saved by the very being they tease her with who had his
bags on each of his arm.
"His well toned arms" she thought as she remembered being held in a protective hug in said arms.
"Thank you for the ride ma'am" Lincoln said
"ohh please call me Lilith, ma'am makes me feel old" Haiku's mom now know as Lilith told him "and it was no
trouble at all, After all you took such good care of my daughter it's the least I could do."
" Very well then Lilith I hope to see you both again soon" Lincoln told her "I had fun and I hope that I could join
you girls at the cafe again when I have time." He said to Lucy and Haiku as the former answered " That would be
nice to have you come with us again right Haiku" Lucy said and even though she hides her emotions well Haiku
could tell that Lucy is finding it hilarious on how she is acting around Lucy's older brother.
"Just keep calm, don't stutter and talk like you usually do" she thought to herself
"Y-ya and w-who knowns maybe you c-could read us one of your other books" She said as she thought "I blew
it" mentally face-palming herself, though Lincoln didn't notice.
"Of course I have a ton that might interest you girls" Lincoln replied
"T-that would be great" Haiku stated as she tries to pull herself together.
"Well see you Haiku and remember what I said, I'm rooting for you." Lucy told her friend teasingly
Haiku becomes even redder as she watches her best friend as well as the boy that she has fallen for walk into
their home.
"Such a fine young man, I hope you snatch him up while you have the chance or else he might be taken." Lilith
told her daughter as Haiku sighs knowing that her mother would continue to be like this.
(Lucy's POV)
"I'm going to put my thing away Lucy" Lincoln told her "But I had fun today, It was a nice change of pace from
what I usually do.
I gave him a small smile " I had fun too, I'm glad that you came with us it was great having you their." I said and
meant it, despite all the worrying, and the those two jerks it was nice having him there. It felt like I was
witnessing a side to him that I never got a chance to see before, But their is still one more thing I have to make
sure.
"Lincoln" I called out as I see him turn to face me. "If their was anything that was bothering you, you know that
you can always come to us right."
I thought he would get a little defensive or maybe ask me why I'm asking, but then he reaches out and starts
petting my head, I look up realizing that I now have to lean my head back a little to see his face, he just has on a
small knowing smile.
"Lucy I will be honest, this is the best I've ever felt in my entire life" He said to her, his voice filled with
understanding "People change maybe not as fast I did, but I promise that you girls have nothing to worry about
even if you girls still continue to watch me.
"What makes you think we're watching you" I ask surprised
He just raises an eyebrow and said "Really Lucy I lived with you girls for years do you really think I didn't notice
the type of looks you girls have been making. I blush "Are we really that easy to read" I thought
"Well I'll see you at dinner after your little meeting" Lincoln said as he walk upstairs but just before he was half
way up he turned around and looked me with with a small smirk on his face.
"Oh and yes, you and our sisters are that easy to read."he said chuckling as he made his way to his room. My jaw
drops, half shocked that he knew what I was thinking, half embarrassed that he said it out loud. but that's when
I realize that he knows that we planned to have a meeting after we got home.
"Sigh looks like he was right once again" I sighed as I sent a text to my sisters to meet in Lori and Leni's room.
(No POV)
"Alright I hereby call this sister meeting to order" Lori said as she banged on her nightstand with a shoe " now
Lucy please tell us what happened while you guys where at the cafe.
"Before that I have something that I should say first" Lucy said as she took a deep breath "I feel like we should
stop being concerned about this.
As the others started up their protest Lori banged her shoe on the nightstand and yelled "Order, Order" taking a
deep breath herself she then asked with her arms crossed "Now Lucy why do you think that we should"
"because of what happened today" Lucy stated as she started to tell them everything from her talk with Haiku to
Lincoln saving them from the two bullies.
"Are you like ok?" Leni asked concerned
"I'm fine Leni Lincoln made sure of that" Lucy assured her
"Man who knew little bro could fight" Luna said
"Ya it does seem out of character for Lincoln" Lana agrees
"Oh come on, I'm sure Lucy's exaggerating a bit right" Lynn declared "I mean it's Lincoln"
"Didn't you say something similar yesterday about our male sibling unit singing"
"Look I might have been wrong about that but it's Lincoln in a fight with those two gorillas from last halloween
by himself." Lynn stated
"I mean she does have a point" Luan agreed slightly " it could have just looked like that from Lucy's
perspective." as the others start to slowly agree
Lucy frowns not liking how they don't believe her or how they're trying to down play what their brother did
"were they always like this when talking about Lincoln, was I like this too." Taking out her phone Lucy quickly
looked at anything related to a fight today hoping that someone had recorded it and after a quick search she
found it "Thank you Internet"
"Then you tell me if I was exaggerating" Lucy said as she showed them the video titled "White haired
kid delivers a beat down" after watching the video the Loud Sisters were stunned silent.
"Well looks like you were wrong once again Lynn" Lana said as Lynn snaps out of it and just crosses her arms
angry that she was once again proven wrong in under a minute.
"Jezz can that even called a fight" Luan said to stunned by the fight to even make a pun
"Man I've never seen Lincoln be this brutal before" Luna said wincing slightly as she saw him beating one of
their faces in.
"Ya and do you guy like see the outfit he has on" Leni pointed out
"Yes Leni and although it's surprising I don't think it matters right now" Lori told her rolling her eyes
"Ok I just thought it was weird because like from the video his outfit from his shoes to the leather jacket, it's all
looks like top quality material that would be expensive" Leni stated as the eyes of her sisters widen "I didn't see
any sales on any of those clothes either at the mall yesterday so I was wondering where he got the money he use
to buy them.
"surprisingly, Leni has a point" Lisa said " If those clothes are as expensive as she claims them to be and if we
look at Lucy's earlier statement of him having multiple bags as well, he must have acquired a large sum of
finances.
"Huh" The others said
"Oh for the love of science, if his clothes are expensive and he has more bags filled with them he must have a lot
of money." Lisa said in annoyance
"Ohh" they said
"What I don't get is why are you saying we should leave him be with all this weird stuff happening" Lola said
pointing at Lucy
"Because after the fight, when he held me it was the same way as every other time" Lucy told them "it made me
realize that even with these changes he still the same caring older brother that i've always know.
" That's sweet Lucy but people don't change like that overnight." Luna stated
"why not, you did and around Lincoln's age as well" Lucy pointed out
Luna starts rubbing the back of her head embarrassed that she forgot that she herself did the same thing.
"Look lets just vote, raise your hand if you think we should leave Lincoln be." Lori asks as only Lucy, Leni, and
Luna raised their hands.
"Really Luna?" Lori asked
"well Lucy did bring up some good points." Luna admitted
"Raise your hand to continue with investigating Lincoln" Lori, Luan, Lynn, Lana, Lola and Lisa raised their hands.
"Well there you have it we will continue to spy on Lincoln until we know what he's up to" Lori declared
"Sigh, fine but I have two things left to say" Lucy sighed
"And what would that be" Lori asked wondering what Lucy would have to say now.
"The first is that Lincoln already knows that we're watching him and he doesn't care" Lucy revealed as their eyes
widen
"YOU TOLD HIM!!" Lola yelled
"No he just already knew when he talked on the stairs he knew me so hell it was Like he was reading my mind,
which I plan to ask him to teach me one day. Lucy replied
"And what's the second thing" Lana asked as the other sisters were leaning wondering what it could be.
Lucy just gives them a wide smile that surprises and scares them at the same time, but what she said next will
forever shock them.
"I believe Haiku would be the perfect girl for him to date." Lucy said with upmost confidence.
...
Silence that was all that was their until
"WHAT!?!?" They all shouted Lori the loudest
"you can't be serious right?" Lynn asked, she has shared a room with Lucy for years and she has never seen her
act like this, Not once.
"Of course she can't be serious, Lincoln is date Ronnie Ann after all." Lori said with a glare to the little goth.
"well he did say that they weren't a couple so." Luna said
"Well their going to be!" Lori shouted not liking how this conversation is going " What makes you think that they
would be a good couple anyway." Lori questioned defensively
Lucy just pulls up the video she took of the two of them with a confident smirk on her face.
Looking at the video the other sisters could see what she means but their more focus on Lincoln himself.
"Is that really Lincoln?" Lola asked
"Man, We couldn't tell from the fight video but little bro's growth spurt hit him hard, like puberty." Luna said
before remembering something
"Oh man Sam said his growth spurt had better be major or she would be jealous on how much he eats Hahaha"
Luna started to laugh "when she sees this her and my other band mates are going to flip out.
"Huh I think I agree with Lucy" Lana said as Lori whipped her head around to face her with an expression of
disbelief.
"What!?!" Lori shouted
"Well you only said they'll be a good match, Lucy actually brought evidence so it's only natural for us to think
so." Lisa explained to her
"Well Ronnie Anne is the only girl that meets my approval" Lori declared
"Well then Haiku is a girl that has my approval" Lucy countered
"I'm the oldest so what I say goes" Lori said thinking it will finish the argument, but Lucy wasn't having it, not on
this.
"Not this time" Lucy said shocking Lori
"Should we intervene?" Lana asked her twin
"Are you kidding, this is getting good" Lola said with a smile on her face "Kids dinners ready" Lynn Sr shouted up the stairs
"This isn't over" Lori warned
"Far from it" Lucy replied.
