A brother's courage
Lincoln couldn't open the door to the lobby no matter how hard he tried. The stormy weather in the sky above was no consolation as he gave up and sat on the steps nearby. He had just failed his sisters, and Sally and the ghosts as well. Poor Lincoln was so sad he began to cry.
He pulled out an old photo he had of him and all his sisters and looked at it before crumbling it up in his clenched fist. He finally snapped. He then began to pound his fist on the ground.
Lincoln: Dang it. I'm such a fool. It's all my fault. How could I let this happen? How am I going to explain this to mom and dad? Now Sally and the others are sure to be stuck there forever.
He heard a strange noise in the bushes as the leaves rustled back and forth. It sounded like running.
Lincoln: Stay away from me, whatever you are! I am not in the mood to deal with anymore crud right now!
A small familiar figure finally popped out.
Lisa: Lincoln, it's me. I assume you needed help.
Lincoln: Oh, Lisa. Thank goodness, you're safe.
He ran up to his young 4 year old genius sister and hugged her tightly.
Lisa (straining): Lincoln, you're suffocating me!
Lincoln: Oh, sorry.
He let her go and began to sit back down in defeat. Having lost all courage and hope after his harsh failure against Billy not long ago.
Lisa: Lincoln, we need to go back. Billy has the girls. He sent them all into the twilight zone, even Lily.
Lincoln: No! Not Lily!
Lisa: I know how we can get into that dimension. I found it in the book.
Lincoln: Forget it, Lisa. It's over! We failed. I failed!
Lisa: Lincoln, are you just going to sit there feeling sorry for yourself?
Lincoln: Lisa, this is all my fault. I should have made sure Lori had gotten us a better hotel. We should have never been here in the first place. I helped Lola train for this pageant because she and I really wanted this for all of us. But we should have found a nicer place. I should have asked mom and dad to help us. But I trusted Lori and she let us come here. I promised Sally and the others I'd help them. But now, it's too late. I can't get back in there.
Lisa: No. It's not too late, Lincoln. It's never too late. We can still back in. I can help you. The only true failure is when you stop trying.
Lincoln: So what do I do, Lisa?
Lisa: You try again. So, do you want our sisters to possibly die and be trapped in between worlds forever?
Lincoln: No.
Lisa: Then stand up off your skinny posterior and figure something out!
(Sunset Blvd)
As lightning flashed above, the taxi carrying Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Bobby, and Mr and Mrs Loud arrived just off the edge of Sunset Blvd with the hotel in plain view.
Driver: This is as far as I go, folks. Hotel's just right there. You should be able to find your way.
Lynn Sr: Thank you, sir!
Rita: We're in a hurry, Sir. No time to pay for the fare.
Driver: That's not how it works, lady! Come back here!
Bobby: Here, take this.
Bobby handed the driver money as compensation for the ride.
Bobby: Keep the change.
