"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Lincoln asked his voluptuous girlfriend.
"And what?" Quinlan asked gazing into the eyes of the young boy staring up at her. "Cuddle up on your bed and fall asleep to the sound of your light snoring? Of course I'd love to stay...just not right now."
"I'll figure this out." He wanted to look away but her hand on his cheek didn't let him. The warm touch and her bright smile made his heart flutter.
"Of course will. You're my man with the plan." She knelt down to be at eye level and gave him a gentle kiss. "Till tomorrow."
She got in her car rolled down the window and started blowing exaggerated kisses to him. She began to cruise down the road. Lincoln stood there on the moon lit sidewalk till he saw the Impala's tail lights turn.
From the upstairs window, Lori watched on.
The sisters sat in a circle on the floor in Lori's and Leni's room. While everyone was in the circle Lana, Lisa, and Lucy found themselves feeling slightly isolated from everyone else. Lily crawled around racing to different sisters who greeted her with a high five before she scurried off. Leni finally wrangled her in for Lori to speak.
"I call this sister's meeting to order. Let's figure out what is happening."
"What's happening is that your stupid plan got us all in trouble. Well except those three." Lynn said accusingly to Lori while pointing to the non-punished younglings.
"Had you too waited to see what the situation truly was you also would have been spared from Aunt Ruth's." Lisa argued back earning a glare from Lynn but she did not even bother to attempt to notice it.
"Lisa is right." Lucy spoke up, "Had you waited to see what kind of person Quinlan was, you wouldn't be in the situation you are now."
"So you're saying we should of gone 'tits for tat' with Lincoln's girlfriend? Hahaha! Get it?" Luan told her family. Groans radiated from the circle.
"Focus people!" Lori interrupted Luna's fistbump to Luan. "Listen we have to figure out how to deal with Lincoln's date tomorrow."
"Wait this meeting isn't to figure out how to apologize to Lincoln's girlfriend?" Leni asked.
"Of course not!" Lori began running her fingernails through her scalp. "Somethings still not right here. Why would a 16 year old babe be dating Lincoln?!"
"I don't know, I'd date Lincy if he wasn't my baby brother." Everyone looked at Leni, "Was it like the whole he's my brother or the age thingy that made that weird?"
"..."
"I think I might have, as well," Lucy spoke up. The girls in the room began chatting away on the would they or wouldn't they date their only brother. All except Lori.
"That's enough!"
"Maybe just a quicky in the dugout…"
"..."
A maddening red covered Lynn's face as she tried to cover her shame under her bangs. The sisters decided not to comment.
"Look," Lori made a chopping motion with her hand and palm, "we have the van tomorrow which means we can show up Aunt Ruth's say we were just dropping by and leave." There was silence as they glanced at one another trying to figure out each other's opinions.
"We follow them figure out why she's going out with him then show the evidence to Mom and Dad, boom unpunished and we save our brother from Miss Thunder Thighs."
The remaining girls, who were going to Aunt Ruth's, were weighing their options. Perhaps they were too quick to judge but maybe they could be helping their brother. Had she seemed that bad, not really. Was it weird she was dating someone almost 5 years younger than her, yeah it was. Simple chatting turned to grumbling as they came to a decision.
"I'm not risking another weekend on your stupid plan!" Lola yelled while shaking a fist at Lori as she stormed out grabbing Lana by the arm dragging her out.
"What?" Lori was taken back.
"Yeah, Lori, I think I'm out too." Lynn stated, "Let's see what happens in the next quarter at least. No need to go for a hail mary if we don't need to." Lynn began standing putting her hands in her short pockets.
"Yeah dude, I don't think it's worth it. No jamming? No thank you." Luna stood, Luan rose with her and began to leave.
"Wait!" Lori pleaded.
"Looks like no one wants to go with your witch hunt, sister." Lisa moved to receive Lily from Leni. "How about I do a background check on her and you can finally be snapped out of your angry rampage. Come here Lily." Lisa left the room.
"Everyone left…" Lori looked dumbfounded.
"I'm still here." Lori and Leni jumped. "Not for long though." Lucy began walking to the door. She stopped in the doorway.
"If I may add, I caught them kissing in Lincoln's room earlier...they seemed happy. Just think about it." Lucy closed the door for them as she left.
Lori and Leni were left to their own devices in their rooms. Leni moved to the mirror to begin brushing her hair before bed. Lori was still upset. She couldn't come to grips to how the rest of them were okay with this. Not only was Lincoln not dating Bobby's sister, Ronnie Anne, he was dating a girl the same age as Leni!
Maybe he just had a thing for older woman. Maybe he had a thing for Leni. She subconsciously looked over to Leni. Nevermind, sorry Leni. You are a petite angel while Quinlan was a thicc succubus trying to suck her little brother dry… eww! Bad thoughts! Stop stop stop…
Get some rest Lori you have a long day tomorrow.
The McBride's car pulled up to the Loud house. The McBrides had won a free trip to a local spa in a promotional deal and had invited Mr. and Mrs. Loud to partake in their winnings. Oil massages and relaxation awaited them. They were all excited. Honking twice to summon the Loud couple they looked ready and raring.
"Alright I want you girls on your best behavior at Aunt Ruth's today." Mrs. Loud began the usual spiel when they left their kids alone. "You three staying behind there is leftovers in the fridge, help yourself but smell it to make sure it hasn't gone bad. Even you Lana." She turned to Lincoln.
"And I hope you have a...nice date."
"I'm sure I will, Mom." He hugged her around her leg. The mother looked down to the boy. He must have been excited because he didn't wear his usual orange polo today. Instead he went with what QT had chosen for him. He wore grandfather's hand me downs of a denim, button up shirt opened to show a less gaudy orange decaled shirt competed with a pair of tan khakis.
"Ohhhh~" she cooed. "My baby boy."
"Rita! Ready when you are!" Her husband announced as he exited the bathroom.
"Let's go then."
As they began to pack into the McBride's car. The McBride husbands and Louds shared a small greeting before buckling up.
"Oh who's that?" Harold asked from his driver's seat. The Louds looked back to see a black 73 Impala pulling up and parking right behind them.
"Oh that must be Lincoln's girlfriend." Lynn Sr. told the couple.
"Oh I bet Lincoln is dating such a cutie!" Howard told the couple.
"I guess you could say that...hehe." Rita laughed nervously.
The bodacious brunette that was Quinlan Timber stepped out of the car. She flung her hair back and slide her driving sunglasses back atop her head. She had decided to dress more modestly today with a yellow, belted sundress and a black long sleeve shirt that opened gave her usual look without as much cleavage. What could she say she was in a hurry yesterday and had been in a more sexy mood. She looked good in this sundress but her tube dress was a manslayer...or maybe a boy slayer. Her usual boots clacked on the asphalt as she made her way around the car.
"Wow! That's the kind of girl you'd ask out so your friends didn't think you were gay back in high school!" Harold told the couple who began sweating nervously.
"You have much experience asking girls out?" His husband asked.
"Oh it was just a joke honey." He chide back, "but if that's what her older sister looks like I can't wait to see what Lincoln's date looks like!"
QT had made it to the other side of the car. She opened the passenger side door...and pulled out her shoulder purse. She then made her way to the house.
"Isn't she going to let her sister out?" Howard asked.
"Uhh...no...that was Lincoln's date." Lynn nervously said.
"Oh my…"
QT entered through the front door to be greeted by Lincoln who saw her and gave her a hug. She gladly accepted her boyfriend's embrace. The rest of the household was chaotic as girls grabbed their stuff to maintain some fun at their punishment location. Lana, Lucy, and Lisa were sitting on the couch caring for Lily watching some animal planet show. They looked from the screen to see QT and Lincoln preparing for their date, Lucy made eye contact with QT. The teen had finally seen them and with a closed mouth grin gave them a joyous double wave. The four, even Lily, returned the wave before return to their program.
"Alright Lincy we are heading out. Have fun on your date!" Leni said as she trotted outside carrying a fashion magazine and make-up supplies.
The rest of the family groaned carrying what they could as they made their way out of the door. QT had taken to standing behind Lincoln her forearms crossing over his chest in a protective manner. Her nose was turned up from most of them. She lowered her gaze when Luna decided to stop though. The rocker got on one knee and tried to talk to Lincoln.
"Hey dude, sorry about yesterday. We kind of blew your girlfriend's big reveal." Her mind flashed to QT's other big reveal, she snapped herself out of it. "Look it's not much but I think you might enjoy them." Luna reached into her bag that contained sheets of music, she pulled out three squares attached to each other via a tearable side.
"Sam and I don't really need to use these. Mom gives us these to use when we first start becoming interested in this kind of stuff." She puts them into Lincoln's palm. "Stay safe little bro."
Lincoln examined the gift.
"How is gum supposed to keep me safe?"
Luna's eyes showed regret. She looked up to QT who had turned away from Luna's gaze not out of anger but embarrassment.
"Please for the love Mick Swagger, teach him." QTs face turned bright red, "I-i mean, if stuff happens...This was a bad idea." Luna got up and raced out of the awkward situation.
Lori was the last to descend from above. She store daggers at QT which allowed for Lincoln's condoms to go unnoticed. Sparks flew between their eyes as Quinlan had upped her angry eye game just for Lori. Lori continued to the door and raised her fingers to her eyes. She pointed at her eyes then back to QT, oh yeah she'd be watch.
Vanzilla was filled with the depressed siblings getting ready for the day at Aunt Ruth's. The engine sputtered to life as Lori turned the key and they were off.
Inside the house Lincoln was still wrapped in QT's arms. He enjoyed the warmth and comfort but his stomach was calling for food.
"Ready to get some food?" Lincoln looked up, unfortunately his girlfriends 'two best friends' were in the way to see her face fully. He could still make out a scowl though. "What?"
She reached into her purse and pulled out her phone. Tapping the screen a couple times she pushed it into Lincoln's field of view.
"Hey, that's the restaurant's menu. What about it?" She took her phone back and pushed a few more buttons. She turned it to face Lincoln. His face filled with dread. It was his diet plan.
"Okay, okay...there isn't much there that fits on my diet. But you know, it's close by and I thou-" Another screen was pushed into his face...it was a salad bar. "You don't mean…"
QT grabbed around his waist and threw him into a fireman's carry. Lowering her driver's sunglasses she approached the door with a protesting Lincoln on his shoulder.
"Lucy we'll be back in a couple of hours!" He shouted, "Put Lily down for a nap in about thirty minutes and call my cell if you need anything!" They were out of the door. Lucy sighed returning back to the television.
"Hey, Lucy?" Lucy turned to the feminine voice. Quinlan had poked her head back in. "You too, Lana, Lisa...thanks for everything you know."
The three of them looked at her in surprise but nodded. She smiled at them before actually leaving. Lisa spoke up.
"It seems we were right to wait and see."
Vanzilla came to a screeching halt three blocks from the family home. Those who had loose objects lost them as they rocketed forward.
"What the heck Lori!" Shouted an angry princess.
"Leni, you take these brats to Aunt Ruth's I'm going back to save Lincoln!"
"What?! You can't do that!" Lynn shouted at her.
"I can and I will. He needs one of us to deal with this cradle snatching bimbo." Lori fired back grabbing some stuff before closing the door.
"I'm telling on you!" Lola shouted from the back seat. An 'I don't care' was somewhat heard as Lori walked back to the house.
"She's going to be in so much trouble." Luan spoke to no one in particular.
"I don't even have my driving outfit." Everyone was reminded who was left to drive. They prayed for their own safety.
Lori watched from a nearby bush as witnessed QT carrying Lincoln like an unkempt cave women with her kill. She growled in anger scaring the dog of a texting walker that had came to investigate her. The car started and they began driving away. With them finally gone she crossed the lawn and entered her house.
"You forget something Lincoln?" Lana rough voice asked as she check her brother. She was wrong. Lana hiked up her overalls standing on the couch she crossed her arms. "What are you doing here?!"
The girls on the couch turned away from the tv to the first born. While not as obviously as Lana they were also a bit miffed at her appearance, even baby Lily. They got off the couch and stood strong in their defiance of their sister's actions, except Lily who had to be held by Lisa. Lucy took a step forward being the oldest of the youngsters.
"You are here to sabotage Lincoln's date with QT aren't you?" Lucy asked her elder with a calm yet firm voice.
"Nooo." Lori said defensively, "I'm just going to spy on them and show what a farce she's putting up. Now, where are they going?!"
"We do-" Lucy started but Lana cut her off.
"We will never tell you! Ayayayaya!" With a viking shout of glee Lana lept into battle.
"Gah! Why you little! Ouch!" A swift kick came from Lucy to her shin.
"Lily, would you mind?" With a goo Lisa sat Lily on the ground, patting her on the head twice. "Now let's see I can get some hair follicles for my collection." With her sleeves rolled up the scientist joined the fray.
From outside the house, a storm of chaos was heard. Sounds of crashing objects, an occasional ouch, and a grunt of pain eventually came to a halt as Lori escaped out the front door. She had to suffer in order to retrieve her phone from her parent's bedroom but now she had it she could make a call. She scrolled through her contact list and clicked on a her friend's name. The dial tone rang in her ear.
"Hey Carol! Yeah...really? Oh my god that's so her!" Lori shook her head and started again. "Wait Carol, I called to ask you something."
"So if a person was really into eating healthy what are like the top five places you'd go to eat?" Lori paused to listen, "uh huh, uh huh. Got it. That one's pretty close right?"
"Wait no! Sorry girl I'm not really planning on going to lunch. I'm trying to figure out where my little brother is taking his date." There was a long pause. "What do you mean you 'want to see Lincy on a his little date'?!"
"No don't invite the oth-... Right...right. I'll see you in ten."
Lori hung up the phone and looked to the sky. This is going to be bad. The only upside was that she now had a ride. Ugh...hopefully the girls weren't too bothersome.
