Stay Chill

Birth Of A New Hero

Over the hours, Luna's skin had not change, and neither did her hair, which remained blue most of the time, and maybe Luna might be very, very sick with this. "You okay, Linc?" Luna asked her one and only brother. "You looked zoned out in space."

"Just thinking if you cannot feel anything cold at all." Lincoln replied. "Most people who stay outside a blizzard wearing normal clothes for a long time would make you die from hypothermia."

Luna made a small chuckle. "Ah come on, dude. I'm still standing tall." Sue put her fists on her waists. "I have seen a million faces, and I will always rock them all." Lincoln out in a smile hearing Luna talk like that. Yes, she was being strong with this, and it was as if that she wasn't suffering any disease, or sickness, or hypothermia at all.

"And I thought I... would lose you forever."

"Aw, baby bro." She pulled him in for a hug. Despite her changing physically, she still felt rather warm on her skin like a cozy blanket. "Don't worry. I'll be okay."

"I'm only concerned because I love you."

"I know. I love you too, Lincoln." Then she broke away from the hug. "And yeah, I can't feel anything cold anymore. And... it beats me why I didn't freeze out there."

Lincoln shrugged by lifting his shoulders. "Beats me, too."

"Lincoln!" Rita called. "Can you come down here please?"

"Coming, mom!" The boy rushed down the stairs and went to see the family and see what they wanted from him. "What's up, guys?"

Lynn Sr then addressed him: "we're going to get some more hot chocolate from the store. Would you like to come with us?"

"Luna's not coming?" Lincoln asked his parents.

"You've seen how bad she looks." Said Lori. "We literally don't want her any more cold than she already is right now."

Lincoln couldn't help but get a confused look on his face. "Did you guys not see how Luna was olay with the cold out there?" He asked his family. "She said she didn't feel cold at all."

Lynn went "pfft!" And said: "I'm sure she was just trying to make us feel better by acting tough. I'm sure she was really cold before we came in the house."

"Lynn's probably right." Said Rita. "Besides, we're just as worried about her as you, honey."

"And maybe someone should keep an eye on her." Leni suggested. "And the pizza place is only ten blocks away from here."

"We know you can take good care of her." Said Lana. "You've saved her from freezing to death in that sleeping pod." The to parents looked sternly at Lisa for creating a machine like that, and the child prodigy knows that she is in trouble now.

"As for you, little lady." Said Lynn Sr. "You are not to set foot outside of this house for a whole five days. And that means you're staying here too. Understood?"

"Yes, father." The smart girl sighed in defeat. "I'll accept the consequences."

"Good." Rita said flatly. "Now, why don't you clean up your room?"

"Yes mother."

"Wait. Lisa didn't know that Luna was trapped in there, or Luna would even go in there." Lincoln stood up for her. "Doesn't it seem a little harsh to punish her for creating a machine like that?'

"Well, clearly it's a safety hazard, Lincoln. And we almost lost Luna in that chamber." Lynn sr pointed. "Besides, Lids should have put it somewhere safe where no one bylut herself would find it."

"Or get hurt." Rita added.

"It's perfectly alright, Lincoln." Lisa said. "I almost got Luna deceased and she almost lost her life force because of myself, and now, I have to pay the piper for this." Then she walked up the stairs. "Maybe in should destroy that pod before someone else gets hurt."
