Chapter 1: What Went Wrong
-----------------------------------------
Ugh. Lincoln pressed the back of his head with a disgruntled grunt. Who knew girls could be so strong?
Coming home from a family outing is what we'd call a resolution of some sorts. The adrenaline dies down, the excitement is gone- and there's hardly anything to look forward to at home- unless you're visiting Aunt Ruth's; because then, even prison is much more preferable.
But in the Loud house, coming home simply opens up to more ridiculous shenanigans the family has to offer. The moment dad parked Vanzilla on the driveway, it was mayday. Lynn declared an all-or-nothing race with a battle cry before advancing, and when you live in a family as big as his, fun is a rapidly strewn virus.
Even a gown-wearing Lola Loud in heels with a cute little pink stroller ran into the race, elegantly of course.
It was anticipated. It happens every single time they come home from a road trip. Lincoln expected the unexpected, and before Lynn could even take a step out of the car, he was at a head start to the front porch. He skipped right through the front door and ran all the way to the stairs advancing with a fit of giggles spewing out of his mouth.
But as it turns out, Lynn's always a step ahead- literally. His foot was right about to step onto the step, until he was mercilessly shoved to the wall. "Sorry! It was an accident, Stinkin!"
Yeah, an accident. A little push harder than that, and his head could've drilled a hole to the wall.
...And there goes nothing. All the girls made it upstairs too and piled up on the staircase when Lynn blocked the way for around five minutes, doing victory dances that would put Tik Tok artists to shame.
It was a small five-hour drive to Great Lakes city and back with the whole family. Right around a mile away was Fairway University, so Leni organized a special surprise for Lori before they arrived. Lori had never had her jaw drop so much a whole swarm of animals could fit right in, yet squeal so much people assumed the Banshee behind the boy's dorm was reincarnated into a person. Contrasting her reaction was Bobby, who remained delighted yet upright and dignified to find the entire Loud family- and even offered them to stay around their apartment, with free rooms for everyone.
Not to mention Ronnie Anne, whom missed him that much, she gave him a sucker punch to the shoulder for not calling.
Of course, dad rejected the offer and paid them rent in the end. It's still the best weekend vacation ever. An adventure with seventeen kids of all different ages around a big city can make Chandler's family trip to Italy look dull!
In the small converted linen closet of the Loud house, Lincoln unloaded his baggage slowly with a yawn. His tripping bags were scattered across the ground and some of it on his bed. A whole late afternoon- wasted on this. And it doesn't even include the ones from all the girls that he's obliged to help with.
"Gah!" The door slammed open, forcefully snapping him out of his little daydream.
"Hey Lincoln!" Oh, no biggie. It's just Lana.
"Can you help me unload my things? Sid gave me some fish at the zoo and I shoved it all in my bag!"
Oh well, there goes alone time.
