Hey everyone, I'm back with another story. Now, this one I've been writing for about a year now and I've been wanting to finish it for a long time, but I would either get busy with other things, or I would just lack motivation. Hell, there were times where I have gotten sick. Anyway, just recently, I got close to finishing this, but after some careful thinking, I decided to divide this story into multiple chapters. This way, I can finally share with you guys what I have been working on, while at the same time, I could finally finish this story. Now without any further delay, let's get right into it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing from The Loud House

This story begins on a peaceful summer afternoon. Everyone seems to be minding their own business, including the only boy in the house, Lincoln Loud, who's in his room right now reading a comic book. For those who might not know, Lincoln gets a new comic book in the mail every Wednesday, and this Wednesday is no exception. For a while, he seems to be enjoying the comic book. Everything's going fine until he hears an unpleasant sound. He hears what sounds like Lori and Leni arguing with each other. His door was closed so even though he could make out the voices, he can't quite hear what they are saying. Lori and Leni's arguing begins to distract Lincoln from his comic book, and before he knew it, he heard Lynn scream, "Sister Fight Protocol, man your stations".

"Oh no." Lincoln thought to himself. "(to the viewers) In case you guys don't remember, the last time we had this "Sister Fight Protocol", my sisters kept kicking me out of my own room and refused to let me do my own thing. They even said that me leaving the house that day was the reason why they stopped fighting." Lincoln thinks to himself for a moment, "You know what, I'm gonna play their game and stay out of it this time. Maybe things will turn out differently."

Lincoln goes back to reading his comic. Sometime after the noise of his sisters died down, things started to feel normal. "Maybe I won't get treated like the black sheep this time" Lincoln thought to himself. A few more minutes past as things still seem quiet, when Lincoln suddenly hears his stomach growl. "I'm hungry." Lincoln then walks out of his room and makes his way downstairs, only to find Luna blocking the kitchen,

"Sorry dude, the kitchen's off limits. Lori's in there cooling off." Luna said. "But I'm hungry, Luna." Lincoln complained. "Sorry dude, SIster Fight Protocol. If you want something to eat, go look somewhere else." Luna said. Lincoln groans in annoyance. Just then, Lana shows up from behind.

"Don't worry, big brother. If you want something to eat, you can have this lollipop I found under the couch." Lana says as she holds up a lollipop with mold and hair stuck to it, as well as a foul odor accompanying. This causes Lincoln to cringe at the sight of how gross it looked, "No thanks." Lincoln said in disgust.

Since Lincoln couldn't get something to eat, he decided to just go back into his room. As soon as he makes it up the stairs, he notices Lynn guarding the bathroom door. "Uh Lynn, what are you doing?" Lincoln asked.

"Sister Fight Protocol, Leni's in the bathroom cooling off, so no one's allowed in there." Lynn replied.

"But what if I need to use it?" Lincoln asked.

"If you need to use the bathroom, then use this," Lynn says as she gives Lincoln a dirty bucket. Lincoln looks at the bucket in disgust. "Ew," he says.

"By the way, try not to screw anything up like last time, Stincoln." Lynn said

"What's that supposed to mean"? Lincoln asked. Just then, the rest of the sisters (minus Luna, Leni, and Lori) peered their heads out of their rooms, "Don't you remember, Lincoln?" Lucy said, "Last time we used this Sister Fight Protocol, it backfired because you kept getting yourself involved instead of staying out of it."

"Because you guys kept kicking me out of my own room and stealing my stuff, what else was I supposed to do?" Lincoln responded.

"Well maybe you need to learn to make sacrifices, Lincoln." Lola said to Lincoln in a harsh tone. The girls all nodded their heads and went back to their rooms (except for Lynn), leaving Lincoln confused. Lincoln then walks back to his room. "Learn to make sacrifices?" Lincoln said to himself, "I always make sacrifices to help my sisters, now they're saying I don't? Who do they think they are?"

Lincoln then hears Clyde's voice coming from his walkie, "Lincoln, come in," Clyde says. Lincoln picks up his walkie, "Hey Clyde, what's up?" said Lincoln. "Nothing much. How are you doing?" Clyde asked.

"Not so great," Lincoln says, "My sisters are having another Sister Fight Protocol." "Oh boy, is there any way I can help?" Clyde said.

"That won't be necessary," Lincoln said, "Not much has happened yet."

"Okay," Clyde said, "Ooh, I just remembered what I wanted to ask you, did you see that new episode of ARGGH yet? I remember you said you were a little busy last night so you couldn't."

"Oh I forgot. I'll do that right now. Thanks, buddy." Lincoln said.

"No problem," Clyde said, "Uh oh. I better get going. My dads and I are going to Brazil for a week."

"Oh, for vacation?" Lincoln asked

"Kinda. Remember that Brazilian kid I told you about, Tiago? My dads and I are going to visit him and his family to learn about their Brazilian lifestyle."

"That sounds nice. I hope you guys have fun. I'll see you later." Lincoln said. He hangs up the walkie talkie and goes downstairs to watch ARGGH. He makes his way to the stairs before carefully walking down, making sure that none of his sisters were present. When it seemed like the coast was clear, Lincoln made his way to the living room. But before he could grab the remote, Lola comes in out of nowhere and tackles Lincoln on the couch and shoves his arm against his back as an attempt to break it.

"Ahhh, Lola what are you doing?" Lincoln yelled in agony.

"I should be asking you the same question. What are YOU doing?" Lola said.

"I was gonna watch some TV." Lincoln said.

"No. Not while Lori and Leni are still fighting."

"What does me watching TV have to do with Lori and Leni? They're not even in here." said Lincoln.

"Don't play dumb with me Lincoln," Lola said as she injured his arm even further, "Now unless you want your arm to be broken, I suggest you go back to your room and stay there."

"Okay okay, just please let me go." He said. Lola then releases her grip and Lincoln runs back upstairs while moving his arm around, trying to ease the pain a bit.

"Well, I guess watching TV's no longer an option," said Lincoln, "Guess I might as well finish that comic book."

He sits back down on his bed and picks up where he left off in his comic.

A few minutes later, Lincoln was still reading when suddenly, Luna and Luan, along with Lori, burst into his room.

"Beat it, Linc. We need this room." Luan said.

"But this is my ro-" Before Lincoln could finish, both Luna and Luan dragged Lincoln by his arms off his bed and shoved him out of his room. He then watches Lynn and Lucy guide Leni out of her room and downstairs. After the two girls in Lincoln's room got the "all clear", both Luna and Luan guided Lori out of the room.

"See, that wasn't so hard, was it Linc?" Luan mocked. Lincoln then walks back in his room. "I can't believe this." he said to himself, "Even if I do stay out of it, I still get treated like the black sheep." He then lays down on his bed, "I don't think I'm in the mood to read anymore." Lincoln inserts a bookmark into the comic book and sets it on his desk. Soon after, he lied back down and got lost in his thoughts. What was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing day became anything but.

Some time later, everyone was gathered at the dinner table. Well, everyone except for Leni, who didn't want to be near Lori for a while. After Lynn Sr. brought out a huge pot of spaghetti, he scooped some onto everyone's plate and gave them each a piece of garlic bread. Everyone began to eat their food, though no one would say a single word because of the situation that was taking place. Even though Rita and Lynn Sr. were eventually told about the situation that was happening and they understood why everyone was silent (and Lynn Sr made sure to make enough food for the second dinner), they knew they couldn't let dinner time go on with an awkward silence, so one of them decided to break the ice.

"So… how was everyone's day?" Rita asked not knowing what to say. No one answered her. They just looked at her before going back to their food with some letting out a small groan.

"Okay… honey, how was your day?" Rita asked her husband.

"It was fine." Lynn Sr. said, "Just a normal day at the restaurant. How was your day?"

"It wasn't too bad." Rita responded, "Though I had to treat Flip's infected tooth and inflamed gums..."

"Ew, mom, we're trying to eat here!" Lori said in disgust. "Sorry, honey," Rita said.

Since no one else had anything to say, the family just resumed eating. After finishing his dinner, Lincoln let out a sigh in satisfaction.

"That was some good grub, dad." He said.

"Yeah, it was delicious," Lori said as she left the dining room.

"Thanks, guys." Lynn Sr. said. Lincoln was about to leave the dining room as well when his father stopped him. "Whoa, where are you going, son? You still have to eat dinner." He said.

"Wait, again?" Lincoln asked.

"Of course. LJ, can you please go get Leni?" Lynn Sr. said to Lynn. Lynn nods her head and leaves the room for a moment.

"Why do we have to-" Lincoln said, unable to finish his question. "Sister Fight Protocol" the girls interrupted. Lincoln let out a groan in annoyance. After another awkward dinner, Lincoln was now feeling full, almost to the point where his stomach was aching. So Lincoln decided to lie down on the couch for a while until the food set.

Later that night, after waiting in line to use the bathroom, Lincoln finished brushing his teeth before stepping out. Lincoln makes it back to his room and opens the door only to find his blanket and bed sheets missing from his bed. He then sees Lynn walking out of her room.

"Hey Lynn, what happened to my blanket and bed sheets?" Lincoln asked.

"Sister Fight Protocol, bro." Lynn said, "We used them to make a divider for Lori and Leni."

"But why do they have to use mine?" Lincoln said.

"Sorry Linc, that's part of living in a big family. We all have to make sacrifices, especially you." Lynn answered.

"Especially?" Lincoln said. Lynn gave him a small nod. "But wait, we have spares in the basement." He said.

"Well there you go. You can go use the spares from the basement." Lynn smugly said.

"But the blanket and sheets were mine first." Lincoln shot back at her.

"Listen Stincoln," Lynn said as she grabbed the collar of Lincoln's shirt, "This is a very serious crisis this family is going through and the last thing I need right now is you raising your voice at me. So unless you wanna stand here and argue with me which trust me, you don't wanna do that, I suggest you either go downstairs and get the spares, or you go to bed with nothing."

"(gulps) Okay, okay." He said. Lynn then shoves Lincoln on the floor. "That's what I thought." She then slams Lincoln's door shut. Lincoln was a bit shaken by that outburst. After standing back up, Lincoln decided to not even bother going downstairs to get the spare blanket and bed sheets. He just wanted the day to be over. So after changing into his PJ's, he crawled into bed and went to sleep.

—

The next morning started out okay. Lincoln got up and went downstairs and ate breakfast. Then after that, he went into his room and gathered some clothes so he could take a shower. After entering the bathroom, Lincoln brushed his teeth first. After doing that, as well as rinse his mouth, Lincoln was about to take off his PJ's so he could shower. But before he could, he heard knocking on the door.

"Someone's in here." He said loudly. Not even a second later, the knocking grew louder. Lincoln opened the door to find Lynn, Lucy, and Leni outside. Both Lynn and Lucy were wearing security vests.

"Beat it, Stincoln. We need this bathroom." Lynn said. Before Lincoln could say a single word, he was dragged out of the bathroom by Lynn and Lucy, who then guided Leni into the bathroom.

"Hey, I still need my clothes." Lincoln said. Immediately after, Lincoln was hit in the face by his clothes being thrown at him. Lincoln let out a groan in annoyance and headed back into his room.

"I can't even take a shower in this house because of this dumb protocol?" Lincoln said to himself. Since taking a shower was no longer an option, Lincoln decided to just get dressed. After doing so, he sat on his bed and tried to think about what to do since the protocol didn't allow him to do much. After some thinking, Lincoln decided to finish reading his comic book that he didn't get to finish the previous day. A half an hour passes and Lincoln is still reading his comic book when he suddenly hears his two sisters screaming at each other again. This once again distracts Lincoln from his book.

"(sigh) I can't take this anymore." He said to himself. After a few minutes, the sound of his angry sisters dies down. This allows Lincoln to carry on in his book.

Nearly an hour passes and Lincoln is still reading his comic book. Though at the same time, he kept glancing at his door, waiting for two (or should I say three) of his sisters to barge into his room and kick him out.

"You know what? I'm not gonna take it anymore." He said to himself. After another few minutes, Lincoln was about to finish his comic when suddenly, Luna and Luan, this time with Leni, barged into his room once again.

"Scram dude, we need your room." Said Luna. Lincoln decided not to do anything. He just ignored his sisters and continued reading his comic book.

"Uhh, Lincoln, I said scram." Luna demanded. Lincoln started to get angry. He was not gonna let his sisters treat him terribly anymore.

"Lincoln, make like a tree and leave." Luan said. Lincoln finally had enough. He lowered his comic book away from his face and looked at his sisters.

"Fine, I'll leave." he said. As soon as Lincoln got off his bed, he crouched down on the floor and pulled something out from under his bed. What he pulled out was a duffle bag. The three Loud sisters got confused.

"Uhh, Lincoln, what are you doing?" asked Luna.

"I'm leaving," Lincoln said as he began packing clothes into his duffle bag.

"Woah woah wait, we're not telling you to leave the house, Lincoln. Just leave the room." Luan said.

"Yeah well, I'm leaving the house." Lincoln said as he continued packing his stuff.

"What do you mean you're leaving the house?" Leni asked as the three girls got worried.

"I mean I'm tired of this dumb Sister Fight Protocol and I'm tired of being treated like the black sheep just because Lori and Leni are fighting. I'm sick of being kicked out of my own room constantly, I'm sick of my stuff being stolen, and I'm sick of getting beat up just for wanting to watch TV," Lincoln angrily said as he zipped up his duffle bag and put it around his shoulder, "I'm not gonna put up with it anymore."

"We're not letting you leave bro," Luna said as the three girls block Lincoln's exit

"Yeah, let's just sit down and talk about this." Luan said.

"No." Lincoln said. He then opens up his poster which reveals a lever behind. Lincoln pulls the lever, which opens up the inflatable slide from outside of his window. Lincoln quickly climbs out the window and slides down to the driveway before any of his sisters could stop him. After making it to the bottom of the slide, Lincoln gets on his bike and looks up at his window to see his three sisters. Lincoln gives them one final glare before pedaling down the sidewalk as fast as he could, leaving behind his three sisters, who watch painfully as their brother disappears from sight.

A/N: That's it. The first chapter is finally done. Like I said at the top, I've been working on this story for about a year and came close to finishing this before starting from scratch, so pretty much most of this story has already finished, and the parts that aren't written yet, l already know what I want to do, so hopefully I'll be able to finish this sooner rather than later. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter, I hope you stick around for the next, and I'll see you guys next time.
