Sudden Realization

If there was one thing Lincoln Loud was tired of it was his sister's always meddling in whatever he did. No matter how much he tried to make sure they didn't find out, they always did and always made things worse: his thumb cramping after playing video games, getting a paper-cut, and anything and everything in between. This time though, they went too far.

"I can't believe them! They always ruin everything and this time I got black eye because of their advice!" said Lincoln as he vented to himself in his room.

You see Lincoln was having some problems with someone picking on him at school, but this wasn't just any ordinary someone; it was a girl. He tried to hide from everyone one of his sisters what was going because the last thing he wanted was to have them get involved. He loved every one of his sisters, but they always had a habit of overreacting or blowing things out of proportion, and he knew that this would be no different, or so he thought.

"Every time they get involved it only ever goes horrible for me and I'm sick of it! Well no more I'm never going to take their advice aga-."

Before Lincoln could finish his rant, he heard a crash and looked over to find a rock that had been thrown through his window. As with every kid his curiosity got the best of him and went over and picked up the rock.

"Well, whom ever threw this really wanted me to have it." Lincoln said as he picked up the rock.

Lincoln decided to humor the person who vandalized his home and read what was so important that it was necessary to cause property damage for him to get this note. And to his surprise it wasn't what he was expecting.

"Okay what does this thing say, huh well that was unexpected: 'Sorry about the eye, here's my number text me later.' Wow this is amaz-."

Before he could finish his statement, Lincoln was hit in the face by a steak with another note attached.

"Okay there has got to be a better way to communicate, what does this one says: 'For the eye signed Ronnie Anne.' Her number and concern, this has turned out to be one of the best days ever! I can't wait to tell my sis…. oh right."

Lincoln was so caught up in the excitement of finding out this girl liked him and wanted to get to know him that he forgot about his anger from earlier and what he had said to his sisters before he stormed off.

"My sisters were right, and I just blew up on all of them for getting involved, I need to fix this they were right after all and what I said was pretty harsh."

Every ounce of excitement that Lincoln once possessed had now dissipated into regret and guilt knowing that everything his sisters had told him was right and they did know what they were talking about. He knew he had to fix the mess he had created, and he had to do it fast, but he didn't know where to start or even if his sisters would even listen to him after what he said. He had to try though.

"Well I may have impressed one girl, but there are ten others that I've probably really hurt. Looks like I need to fix this and fast." said Lincoln.

Lincoln sat for about twenty minutes thinking of what he could do to make it up to his sisters, or at least make them feel better, but nothing came to mind and he was starting to get frustrated. He kept thinking and finally let out a frustrated sigh after not being able to come up with any full proof plan to apologize to his sisters and let them know that everything had worked out.

"AHHHH! Why is this so hard?! I wish I could just find a way for all of them to know how sorry I am! Wait that's it!" said Lincoln.

Without realizing it Lincoln had gotten his wish and came up with the best way to apologize to all of sisters and let them know that he didn't mean to react the way he did and that it was all in the heat of the moment.

"All I need to do is get all of my sisters into one room and let them know how everything went, but I don't know if they'll even speak to me. I guess there's only one way to find out." said Lincoln.

Lincoln reach for his door knob and opened his door and, to no one's surprise, everyone was in their bedrooms and no where to be seen. Until he heard the door to the bathroom open and heard a familiar humming from down the hall. When Lincoln took a closer look, he saw that is was his sister Luna making her way back to her room, that's when Lincoln got a new idea that might help his plan out. Let's just hope Luna is up for it.

"I hope she isn't too mad at me that she won't even talk to me." thought Lincoln

Lincoln walked down the hall, nervous about what was going to happen when he finally saw Luna or when she saw him, but he put all his negative thoughts in the back of his mind and continued. He walked up to Luna and Luan's door and knocked on it gently not to make a lot of noise and alert everyone else, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't scared of what was going to happen next. At this point Lincoln was sweating bullets waiting for a response from either one of the inhabitants of the room of the rocker and the comedian, he was put at a little bit of ease when he heard footsteps and saw the door begin to open revealing the rocker herself with a less than ecstatic face after seeing who it was.

"Hey Luna." Lincoln said nervously.

"Oh, hey bro I'm actually really glad you're here. I was just about to come and ask you if I could talk to you about earlier." said Luna.

"I was hoping to do the same." Lincoln said while rubbing the back of his head.

Luna could tell there was something bothering her brother and that he really wanted to talk about it and it saved her a trip, so she let him in so their conversation could commence.

"Alright bro com on in." Luna said while waving him in.

"Thanks." Lincoln said a little excitedly.

When Lincoln walked in he saw Luna take a seat on the bottom bunk and gave him a slightly confused look when she saw that his back was turned to her. Whatever he wanted to talk about must've really been bothering him if he wasn't willing to look up.

"You doing okay bro? It's a little hard to have a conversation when you don't look at the other person." Luna said.

"Yeah I'm okay I just wanted to apologize to you." Lincoln said as he raised his head.

"Wait, dude why are you apologizing?" Luna asked.

"I shouldn't have went off like that on you and the others, I know you guys were only trying to help and I may have overreacted a little when I said what I said."

Luna got up from her seat and walked over to her only brother and gave him a hug, confusing Lincoln.

"No need to apologize bro, if anything all of us owe you and apology for what happened." Luna said as she released her hug on Lincoln.

"What do you mean?" asked Lincoln.

"We gave you some pretty bad advice and you ended up getting really hurt because of it. We shouldn't have told you to kiss her right out the gate dude. After you went up to your room we all had a talk and agreed that we were totally wrong and if it weren't for us you wouldn't have a black eye right now." Luna said guiltily.

Now everything made sense; Lincoln was so worried that he made his sisters mad by yelling at them, but that wasn't the case. They all felt guilty for giving him advice, that in hind sight, wasn't very good advice at all and is the reason he got a nice black eye for his troubles, but there was a bright side that Luna was unaware of.

"Well, thank you for apologizing Luna it means a lot and I will admit that you guys did go overboard, like always, but it wasn't all bad." Lincoln said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Luna.

"DUDE! Is this what I think it is?!" Luna shouted in excitement.

"Yeah." Lincoln said coyly.

"Bro this is awesome! You still got her digits even after everything that happened! I'm proud of you baby bro." Luna said as she hugged Lincoln again at his new accomplishment.

"Thanks Luna. I want to tell the others, and you, that your advice wasn't all bad." Lincoln said as he returned his rocker sisters tight squeeze.

Luna was brought back to reality when she heard Lincoln say that; she knew all of her sisters would love to here that Lincoln got this girl's number and that she was interested in him, they'd probably want to apologize to him as well for what happened.

"I'm sure they'd love to hear it and I think they'd all like to apologize as well." Luna said.

"I do have a plan, which serves a different purpose now, I was wondering if you could call a sibling meeting and get everyone there, so I can show them what I showed you and tell them that you guys weren't completely wrong. Will ya help me sis?" Lincoln asked in a very pleading tone.

"No problem dude I'll get everyone in my room and you wait in your room until I come and get you." Luna said with a smile that made Lincoln feel better about everything.

"Okay, thanks Luna you really are the most rockin sister in the world." Lincoln said as he left Luna's room.

Phase on of Lincoln's plan was done, now all he had to do was make sure phase two would go off without a hitch. He could only hope that Luna could convince everyone to go to the meeting and wait for her to bring Lincoln, so he can apologize for hurting his sister's feelings and overacting to the situation.

"Let's hope this works." Lincoln said nervously as he entered his room and waited for Luna to come and get him.
