Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: The Concert

(Lincoln's POV)

It's the next day as I'm on the couch reading a book that tells about one of my alternates lives, But I could hardly

focus. Tonights the concert and I was originally excited for it, but the idea that Thorn had makes me nervous and

makes me question why did I agreed, But I did and I never go back on a promise.

I did leave with them to help prepare but it was last minute so I'm worried that it be a disaster.

Suddenly the front door was kicked open by Lori as she, Leni, Luna, and Lucy all sat down in the living room

looking upset.

"I can't believe this" Lori shouted

"I know, this is bogus" Luna agreed sounding equally frustrated

"This is totes not fair" Leni said looking sad and Lucy just sighs looking equally as sad.

"What's the matter?" I asked looking at my sisters wondering what could have happened to get them this upset.

"You won't believe it, the Hex girls are having a concert in Royal Woods tonight and all of our friends are going."

Lori said as she gestured to herself and Leni.

"Sam and Mazzy are going too" Luna said

"same with Haiku, she's going with her cousin" Lucy sighs

"If only I could have gotten a ticket" They sighed in unison.

"At least the concert will be played on air so you can still watch it" I told them

"Ya but the best part of a concert is to be their and we have never been to one of the Hex girls shows before."

Luna said as the others agreed

Just then Lynn Sr walked the front door with a bag of groceries as he notices the expressions on the girls had

"Hey kids what seems to be the matter" Lynn Sr asked

"Theirs a concert that their friends are going to and they don't have a ticket to go with them." I told him

"Hey it's fine girls their are plenty of future concerts to go to." Lynn Sr said trying to cheer them up

"Ya but whens the next time the Hex girls are going to play in Royal Woods" Lori told him with her arms crosseda1

"The Hex girls?" Lynn Sr question before turning to face me "Isn't that the same concert your going to tonight

sport" he asked me as my sisters eyes widened as they turned to face me

"WHAT!?!" they shouted

I sighed as I was planning on keeping it a secret so I wouldn't have to deal with this,"Yes Dad it is." I confirmed as

I pulled out the ticket as my sisters eyes widened further in shock.

"OMG Lincoln thank you" Lori said as she snatched the ticket thinking I got it for her.

"Hey why did you grabbed it when I'm sure it was meant for me" Luna said as she made a grab for it only for Lori

to move it away.

"Duh, I'm the oldest so of course it's for me." Lori remarked

"Hey it could be for me" Leni said as she grabbed it out of Lori's hand

"Or it could be for me" Lucy said making all of them except me jumps in fright, after that they started to argue

over who would get the ticket as I see Lynn Sr backs away slowly for safety.

"ENOUGH!" I shouted as they all stop, I walked over and snatched my ticket back, as I put it in my pocket I

activated my to make sure they don't try and steal it back.

"This is MY ticket that I got from some friends" I told them "I wasn't planning on giving this ticket to anyone

including yous.

"you can't be serious, this is completely selfish of you" Lori said with a glare with Luna and Leni by her side, Lucy

stepped back to watch what happens, I just raised an eyebrow. "You didn't even pay for the ticket, you got it

from a friend so you don't deserve it."

"YA!" Shouted Leni and Luna as Lucy as Lucy stays quiet.

"What's going on" Lynn Jr asked as she and the rest of my sisters came downstairs.

"Lincoln is being a selfish little twerp, he was given a ticket to the Hex girls concert tonight and he won't give it

to us so we could hangout with our friends. Lori told them

"Well if he didn't pay for it it doesn't really belong to him" Lola said agreeing with her sisters as Lana nodded her

head

"Ya Stincoln just give up the ticket, it's not like you really need it" Lynn Jr said

As they continued Lynn Sr decided to retreat to the kitchen, I looked bored as I knew this would happen if they

found out but I am disappointed that my father would just run and hide rather then defuse the situation.

I looked to the side as I see Lucy looking disturbed by what is happening, "This must be the first time she's seen

their 'hive mind' in full view." I thought surprise but pleased to see that Lucy didn't join in.

After they finished their rant looking at me expectingly as if I owe them.

"Are you done?" I asked in a bored tone "Good Because I will say this once and only once, I am not giving any of

yous this ticket."

They were about to start their rant all over again but then Lisa got an idea. After telling the others her plan, they

agreed and face me with smirks.

"Ha if you can give us one good reason why then we'll drop it, but if you can't then you must relinquish it to us."

Lisa stated

"Only one?" I asked as I started to laugh "I can name several"

"first-off there is only one ticket so how are they all going to the concert" I told them

"Well that is correct but-" Lisa started but I cut her off

"second just because I didn't pay for it doesn't mean it's not mine. Like if you got a birthday gift, it was given to

you but you didn't buy it, so are you saying it's not really your's" I continued

"As similar as they are thats-" I cut over her once more

"Thirdly, The friends that gave me the ticket are expecting me their so just like them" I pointed to Lori, Leni,

Luna and Lucy " I also have friends to be with at the concert" I finished as they remained silent.

"I only said one" Lisa said under her breath as they tried to come up with an excuse to salvage this argument.

"Well how are you going to get their because Dad is cooking dinner, Mom busy writing her book and I know I

won't drive you." Lori told him with a smirk

"I have my own way so you don't need to worry" I told her with a smile as her smirk fell and one by one they all

went up stairs with angry expressions, all except for Lucy who walked over to me.

"I'm sorry that we acted like that" Lucy told me looking ashamed at what happened, but I just ruffled her hair

and gave her a smile.

"Well even if you did try to claim the tickets with them at first, you also didn't join in with what they were doing."

I told her

"where we always like that?" Lucy asked worried about the answer

"I wish I could say otherwise but yes you girls tend to always stick with each other when it's one of you verse me

in an argument." I answered truthfully as she looked down saddened

"Even if I didn't do it this time, I didn't help you either" She told me sounding sad

I brought her into a hug and said "That may be true, but you also apologized as well and that makes me happy."

Lucy smiles as she tells me "Well I hope you have fun."

"I will and I'll try to bring you something and I'll see if I can meet Haiku there." I told her to make her feel better,

but then Lucy smile grew into a smirk as it looks like she got an idea.

"Thats a great idea" Lucy told me with that smirk still on her face sounding surprisingly enthusiastic before she

corrects herself " I mean, It would be great for you to keep her company."

"Ha ha ha well I better get going, see you when I get home" as I made my way to the door I took a deep breath,

knowing that their going to watch the concert and see what will happen. but I'm going through with it" I thought

determined as I left the house.

(No POV)

As Lucy watched Lincoln leave her other sisters came back down the stairs as they were eavesdropping the

whole time.

"I can't believe you Lucy, Why would you apologize?" Lori asked the little goth in anger

"Because we were in the wrong" Lucy told them not liking where this is going.

"Do I have to remind you that he is a boy and is their for in the wrong whenever it's against us" Lori told like it's

the most obvious this in the world. a4

As the others nodded their heads Lucy was having second thoughts, the way she and her sisters have always

believed that to be the case but now she wasn't to sure. shaking off those thoughts for now Lucy decided to

focus on the positive.

"Well on the bright side, Lincoln might meet Haiku there so this could be a good unofficial first date." Lucy said

with a grin

Lori starts gritting her teeth as she glares at the goth

"I thought we agreed that Lincoln will date Ronnie Ann" Lori said with her arms crossed

"Well let me remind you that we didn't" Lucy replied as her and Lori started going back and forth on who Lincoln

would date.

"Well their they go again" Luna sighs

"This will be awhile" Lana said as she and the others then heard crunching sounds and sees Lola with some

cookies watching with great interest.

"Really?" Lynn asked the pageant queen.

"What this is pure entertainment and I'm not the only one" Lola said as she points to Luan who was recording

this for her channel and Lisa who was taking notes on their behavior. a3

"This is going on my channel even if it's not that so-fist -icated Ha ha get it" Luan laughs as the others groan."

"Well this is a fascinating way to observe the two different opinions they have of are male sibling units possible

love partner." Lisa informs them.

"Geez it's a good thing that Lincoln le ft so he doesn't have to see this" Lana thought as she helped herself to a

cookie. "Hope he has a good time"

(Lincoln POV)

After I left the house I walked a few blocks to make sure I wasn't followed, I ducked behind a bush and activated

my skill, felt the now familiar sensation of sinking into them, it's not cold like most people

would think it's more cool like a late summer night. As the shadows welcome me into their domain I can feel

them wrap around me protectively, to make sure I get to where I need to go safely.

Soon I can feel the shadow recede as I appeared in a bush close to the concert entrance.

"hmm I still got half an hour till the concert starts so I better find Haiku." I said thought as I pass through security

with my ticket. but as I looked around I see that their are a lot of people here so finding her would be difficult

I decided to use a skill that I've been practicing called which let me locates anything or anyone that I

have seen or gotten a detailed description of in a 500 meter radius the equivalent to 5 city blocks. I tested it with

some old stuff I lost in the house but never a person yet. a1

I took a deep breath and focus on a mental image of Haiku as I called forth the skill "" as I whispered

releasing a slight pulse around me and soon enough I see Haiku in my mind in the third row so I opened my eyes

I made my way over.

As I approached I could see Haiku trying to get to the front row so I walk behind her as I heard her trying to get

people to move.

"Need a hand" I said as I startled Haiku who turned around and started to blush.

"L-Lincoln" Haiku said out loud and as she started to fiddle with her hair someone in close by heard them.

"W-what are you doing here?" asked Haiku trying to keep calm

Just as I was about to answer, someone said "Lincoln is that you?

I turned around and saw some Sam and Mazzy as well as three others familiar faces.

The first is Becky a tall, slim teenage girl, with medium-length red hair, and green eyeshadow. She wears white

earrings, black bracelets, a sleeveless shirt with light green and aqua colored stripes, dark gray skinny jeans, and

brown sandals.

The second is Dana a tall and slim fair skinned girl, with long brunette hair styled into a small ponytail. She

wears red earrings, a long-sleeved off-shoulder shirt, with white and lavender stripes, a black shirt and skirt

underneath, long lavender socks worn high, and brown leather boots with high heels.

The last one is Carol who has a striking resemblance to Lori, except she has longer blonde hair that points to her

right side; she wears a blue headband, light blue eyeshadow, a blue shirt with a white collar, a brown skirt with a

checker pattern, and brown shoes with purplish-blue socks worn high. she was Lori's rival but they made up and

are now friends

"Oh hey guys" I said with a small wave

"L-Lincoln is that you?" Dana asked in disbelief

"ya why wouldn't it be?" I asked

"Oh I don't know maybe it's because YOU LOOK LIKE THAT!" Becky said pointing to all of me, and that's when I

remembered and so I told them about my growth spurt but I left out the part about the pain so they don't worry.

"Bullshit" Sam said

"It's true" I told her

"I'm calling Luna then because that's unfair" Sam said as she pulled out her phone

"Are you still hung up on how much I ate" I asked

"Yes" was all she said as she called Luna

"Hey Luna it's Sam so I have a question is it true about how your brother went through his growth

spurt...really?...ok I just had to make sure because it's unfair...sure we can keep an eye on him but what do you

mean pass out" as Sam was talking to Luna I heard the last part and panicked.

"Luna hang up now!" I shouted as Sam and the others gave me confused looks before Sam's eyes widened as

she promised Luna that she would watch me before hanging up, As soon as she did Sam came over to me

making sure I was alright.

"Sam why are you looking really worried right now?" Asked Mazzy as the others listened in.

"Because Lincoln left out a VERY important piece of information" Sam replied before turning to me "Right

Lincoln?" She asked me with a small glare as I was forced to tell them about the pain part.

"Why would you leave that out!" Carol asked/scolded me

"I'm fine so it's not a big deal" I tried to tell them but they started to fuss over me thinking I might pass out.

After reassuring them I'm fine and promising them that I would tell them if I ever start feeling sick or any pain,

did they finally relent but Becky started to feel my arm.

"Well look at this, my little white russian's been working out huh" she said before letting go of my arm

"Well I have been working out it helps me clear me thoughts" I said as it's half true, I work out to get me stronger

so I can hopefully handle some of the stronger skills and in the books it says that by increasing by own strength

and meditating can slowly increase your body's magic pool for a weak body can't handle it.

But over time I've come to see it as a way to relax and let my body do all the thinking.

As we continued to talk the lights got dime as they Hex girls appeared on stage in a cloud of yellow smoke.

They got a peck of he in the stands as I smiled at them and they seemed even more determined.

As they finished the song the crowed exploded with cheer as I joined in, they have amazing voices, but as they

cheered Thorn grabbed the microphone and waited for everyone to calm down.

"Well I'm glad everyone here is enjoying the show" Thorn told the audience "And for this next song we will be

inviting a very special person to come preform with us" She announced as every one started to get excited

wondering who it would be.

(No POV)

~At the loud house~

As the Loud sisters watched the Hex girls concert from the LIVE feed they were wondering who the special

person was even if the others aren't big fans they still like their music.

"OMG can you believe someone gets to sing with the Hex girls" Leni exclaimed excitedly

"I wonder who it could be" Luna said

"Maybe it's one of their boyfriends" Lola guessed

"Sorry to disappointed you Lola but they aren't dating or else it would blowup" Lori said

"I wonder how Lincoln's doing at the concert" Lana wondered

"Ugh don't even mention that twerp right now lets just enjoy the show without thinking of him" Lori said

causing a frown to appear on Lucy a face and a small one on Lana's

"Shhh their about to announce the who's going to sing with them." Lynn Jr said

"The person to be joining us on stage is ... LINCOLN LOUD!" they watched Thorn announced from the TV

silence was all their was until it finally registered in their heads

"WHAT!?!?" They shouted

~At the concert~

(Lincoln's POV)

"WHAT!?!"

Huh I guess my sisters heard the news, but as I looked around at my sister's friends they are all looking at me

with shocked expressions, all I could do was shrugged my shoulders as I was slightly nervous from all the stares

everyone was giving me as I made my way to the stage.

Once I got there I pulled my guitar from the inside of my jacket with my skill and since everyone

thought it was a cool magic trick they started clapping looking slightly impressed.

As I looked out from the stage my nerves started to get the better of me until Thorn put a hand on my shoulder,

giving me an encouraging smile and as I looked behind me so was Dusk and Luna(H).

I smiled and mouthed a quick thank you as I face the crowd once more with determination in my eyes as we

begin to play.

I'm at war with the world and they

Try to pull me into the dark

I struggle to find my faith

As I'm slippin' from your arms a8

It's getting harder to stay awake

And my strength is fading fast

You breathe into me at last

I'm awake I'm alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it's my time

I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

Here, right here

Right now, right now

Stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I'm awake and I'm alive

I'm at war with the world cause I

Ain't never gonna sell my soul

I've already made up my mind

No matter what I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak

And I feel like giving in

You breathe into me again

I'm awake I'm alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it's my time

I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

Here, right here

Right now, right now

Stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I'm awake and I'm alive

Waking up waking up

Waking up waking up

Waking up waking up

Waking up waking up

In the dark

I can feel you in my sleep

In your arms I feel you breathe into me

Forever hold this heart that I will give to you

Forever I will live for you

I'm awake I'm alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it's my time

I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

Here, right here

Right now, right now

Stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I'm awake and I'm alive

Waking up waking up

Waking up waking up

Waking up waking up

Waking up waking up

As we finished I started to rub my neck as that had hurt my throat a little since I didn't warm up.

I hope they like it Thorn asked me to join them for a song back at the restaurant and we only had one day to

practice so I hope the audience loves it as Thorn and the others said they would.

And that's when I heard the cheering, as I looked out at the crowed every single one of them was cheering and it

made me smile.

"WOOO THAT'S MY WHITE RUSSIAN" Becky called out from the stands

(No POV)

~At the loud house~

"WOO go Lincoln" Luna shouted proud that her brother can rock out like that.

"Luna why are you cheering for him?" Lori asked causing Luna to face her

"Did you not just see that" asked Luna "Our brother just went legendary mode out their and with three hot girls"

then a smirk just spread on her face " you don't think that they have a thing for Lincoln right."

"There's no way that's happening" Lori declared as their was no way three super hot and famous teen girls

would find anything remotely interesting about her brother.

"I agree with Lori" Lynn. Jr said "This has to be some type of pity prize right."

~At the concert~

As the crowd continue to cheer Lincoln didn't notice Thorn coming closer to him.

"Well that was a wonderful performance so I think he deserves a reward" Thought Thorn as she closes in to give

him a kiss on the cheek.

Lincoln felt something get close to him and at first he didn't mined but when it got too close he turned his head

only to feel a pair of soft warm lips meet his own. The crowd went silent once more in shock.

Thorn quickly realized what had happen and before she could try to explain two voices express their

displeasure.

"Hey that's not fair Thorn" Shouted Dusk as she grabbed Lincoln

"Ya now it's our turn" Luna(H) said from behind Dusk

"Wait-" But before Thorn could explain Dusk lips soon met Lincoln's as well and soon enough Luna(H) grabbed

him and gave him one as well before letting him go.

now thanks to the confusion, and getting kissed without a moment to breath Lincoln is very light headed with

the Hex girls lipstick smeared on his face as his brain is trying to comprehend what just happening.

~At the loud house~

The Loud sisters are stunned as they just saw their only brother make-out with three super hot and famous girls

on tv.

"GO FOR IT BRO!" Luna shouted in full support.

"This can't be real right" Lynn asked trying to deny reality

"I must admit I never thought that our brother would be such a beacon from many female admirers especially

one that have the attention of many others who would love to date them." said Lisa

"OMG It's like all over the internet." Leni said as she showed them.

"Sigh looks like Haiku's got some real competition" Lucy sighed

"Inky Inky" Lily babbled clapping her hands.

"It doesn't matter Lincoln will be with Ronnie Ann my relationship depends on it" Lori thought, grinding her

teeth.
