"Today's the day, buddy!"

Clyde and Lincoln were leaving school together like they usually do. Accept this time was different. Not only was school out for summer, but Clyde was going to Florida for a month of summer vacation.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do without you, bro. I get bored really easily." Lincoln said.

"Don't worry, man. You'll find something. But hey, I'll only be gone a month. Besides, maybe you find a date with Ronnie Anne." Clyde said, making sure to add a weird tone when he said her name.

"Oh come one man, I've told you a million times. We're just friends, and nothing more." Lincoln said, a little annoyed.

"Oh, come on Lincoln. You can't fool me anymore. Remember that time you kissed Ronnie Anne at the fusion restaurant?" Clyde asked him.

Lincoln couldn't come up with a solid reply to that one, so he kept his mouth shut.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Clyde said.

There was about a five minutes gap in their walk where neither of them said anything. Just walking along the sidewalk in awkward silence. Neither of them wanted to leave each other, but they both knew that it was going to happen.

They walked up to Clyde's house to say their goodbyes.

"Well, I guess this is farewell, or actually, no, I forgot you're meeting us at the airport so we can say our real goodbyes." Clyde brought up.

"Yeah, but this is the last time we'll be saying bye here. For a month at least." Lincoln said.

"Yeah, I guess it is..." Clyde responded.

They both stood there in silence for about ten seconds.

"Well, I'll get out of your hair. You probably need to get ready anyway." Lincoln told him.

"Yeah. My dads forgot to pack up all their tropical themed clothing, so yeah, I gotta help them with that. See you at the airport, buddy." Clyde's said to him.

"Okay, see ya." Lincoln responded.

Lincoln looked back at the house one more time before he set off to his abode.

20 minutes later, the Loud house.

Lincoln walked in, and as usual, everyone was sitting on the couch watching TV or looking at their phones. It was weird. They were done with school for two months and they were all acting like they do if they have school the next day.

"Oh hey honey. How was your last day of school?" Rita asked him.

Lincoln didn't know how to respond to that. He hadn't paid attention all day, all he thought about was Clyde and what he would do without him. With no other alternative, Lincoln let out the answer, "Good."

"That's great. Oh hey, your father made some chocolate cake to celebrate you guys getting off school. It's on the table." Rita said to him.

Lincoln's mood got a little better, "Oh sweet. Thanks you guys " He said as he walked to the table to get some cake.

When he walked into the dining room, he met his father, Lynn Loud Sr.

"Oh hey, sport. How was the final day of school for the summer?" Lynn Sr. asked him.

"Good. I was just walking in to get some of your cake." Lincoln replied.

"Well, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy it, like I know you always do." Lynn Sr. said as he flashed a spirited smile.

Lincoln let out a chuckle, "Thanks Dad." He said.

After he was finished eating his slice of cake, he walked into the living room with the rest of his family.

"Hey bro, I wrote a song about summer vacation, you wanna hear it?" Lincoln's sister Luna asked him.

"Maybe later, Luna. I gotta get ready to meet Clyde at the airport." Lincoln told her.

Rita walked in the room as soon as he said that, "Oh yeah, I forgot all about that. When do you wanna go?" She asked him.

"In about 20 minutes." Lincoln told her.

"No problem. I know it's gonna be a little hard for you two to say goodbye to each other, but it's only gonna be for a month." Rita told him.

"I'll be fine Mom." Lincoln said.

17 minutes later.

"Okay Lincoln, ready to go?" Rita asked him.

"Yeah, ready as I'll ever be." Lincoln said, even though he knew it wasn't true. This was gonna be hard, and he got nervous as soon as they left the drive way.

"I can do this. I can do this. I can do this."

Aaaaaaand... that's a wrap for this chapter. What do you think so far? Please let me know. I'm working on chapter two as you're reading this, unless you're reading this in the future. It could be up tonight, Tommorrow, or it could have been out a month ago by the time youre reading this. Keep an eye out for it. I'm gonna try to make it longer. I write on my phone, so it takes longer to write. Hell, it took me an hour to write this short chapter. So sorry if this chapter was short. Oh, and by the way, I know his sister's didn't say anything this chapter, but don't worry, they will. Peace, guys.
