Loud House: Humble Beginnings (Book 1)

Before the Brawl (Flashback)

Lincoln and Clyde were asleep at Clyde's house for the night. Lincoln and Clyde would try to resolve some of the Loud sisters' salty relationships the next day.

Lincoln had a long dream that night. It was about nostalgia, before the brawl, when everything was normal.

That's all poor Lincoln wanted; for everything to be normal once again.

Lincoln dreamed of almost a year ago, when he was 11 and was still in elementary school, 6th grade to be exact. Lori was also still in high school, too.

His dream was on a Friday back in May, when the weather was nice and school was almost done, unlike in present tense, where it is October.

It was a Friday morning, Lincoln had just woken up to Charles, the family dog licking his face. He got up and walked in the hallway, entering the long line for the bathroom.

"Morning, Linky!" Leni happily said.

"Good morning, Leni," Lincoln replied.

"Hey, little bro, you can go in front of me," Lori offered.

"Wow! Are you sure, Lori?" Lincoln confirmed.

"Yep. I'm getting a call from Bobby, anyway," Lori said.

After Lincoln used the bathroom, he walked downstairs and found Lynn and Lana talking by the couch.

Lincoln greeted them by saying "Hey, guys."

"Sup', Stinkin'," Lynn said

"Hi, Lincoln!" Lana excitedly yelled.

Lincoln walked to the kitchen, where Luan threw some eggs at his face.

"Looks like the yolk's on you! Hahahaha!" Luan joked.

"Luan, stop being such a neanderthal!" Lincoln requested.

"Okay, but first...have a nice trip!" Luan shoved Licnoln back, and Lynn Sr was behind him, making Lincoln fall back hard.

Luan and her dad laughed together. Even though Lincoln was tired of Luan's jokes, he preferred them instead of the current hatred stirring in the family.

Anyway, Lincoln then had to get to school, and Lori would always drive him and the other siblings there.

"Ready to go, guys?" Lori asked everyone.

Everybody said yes as they left for school.

Lincoln, Lucy, Lola, Lana, and Lisa were dropped off at the elementary school and they walked to their classrooms.

Lincoln greeted Clyde, and their other friends Rusty, Zach, and Liam. Then, he said hi to Ronnie Anne (keep in mind, this was before she moved out of state).

Things with him and Ronnie Anne are quite complex. Some people think they have feelings for each other, which they kind of do, they just won't admit the truth.

Throughout the day, Lincoln could hardly wait to get home, play video games, and forget about school for the weekend.

When school finally ended, he walked Clyde home and then went to his own house.

He got home and greeted his parents.

"Hi Mom! Hi Dad!" Lincoln happily stated.

"Hello, son! How was school?" Lynn Sr asked.

"Good, I can't wait to have some food! Real food. School lunch is nasty!" Lincoln remarked.

"There's some lynnsagna in the fridge, if ya want it!" Lynn Sr suggested.
