"Forgiveness is the best form of love. It takes a strong person to say they're sorry and an even stronger person to forgive"
All of the sisters are on the couch, trying to think when the parents walk in.
Rita: (low voice) Hey kids....
Sister: Hey
Lynn Sr: Anything?
Lori: Well we got some good news and bad news. The good news is that Lincoln's back home....
Rita: HE IS?! OH, MY BABY'S OK!
Lori: But the bad news....
Lynn Sr: What is it?
Lynn: (low voice) We're not considered family by him anymore and he wants to stay away from us....
Lynn Sr: He's had it, and it's all our faults...
Lori: That's why we're trying to find out how we can win him back.
Rita: Well, don't put too much into it. He does need some space. He's been through a lot from us...
Leni: We gotta think though...
Lynn Sr: Just don't rip your heads off!
Everyone stayed silent except for Luan, who gave the faintest chuckle she could give.
Lynn Sr: (low voice) Thought I would lighten the mood.........We'll go now...
Lynn Sr and Rita entered their bedroom, leaving the sisters alone. Luna suddenly gets an idea. She then whispers them to the others and they are pretty fond on the idea
Lori: Good idea, but how will we convince him?
Luna: That's............something I need to figure out, but even if I did know, we wouldn't be able to do it now. It's getting late.
Lori: Alright, we're sticking with the idea. Everyone, try to figure out a plan to convince Lincoln.
Sisters: Yes ma'am!
Lori: Alright! Get to thinking!
They all leave the living room and enter their rooms. Meanwhile, Lincoln is in his room, sitting on the bed
Lincoln: (angry, talking to viewers) Well, it's been a while since I talked to you. You can see that I'm back in my very nightmare. I should've went to Ronnie Anne's instead! They wouldn't think to look there! Well, i'm not mad at Clyde. It was me who was at the wrong place at the wrong time! Well, time for things to get "normal" and recieve broken bones! They wont get me if I don't get close to them so I'll have to keep my distance. Well, wish me luck being back!
Lincoln then lies down on his bed and falls asleep
The next morning[]
All of the girls wake up and immediately take action. They go as fast, but as quietly as they can. They rush downstairs and enter the kitchen. A few minutes later, Lincoln wakes up
Lincoln: (yawn) Well, that was some sleep, escpecially since i'm back in the devil's manor. Well, I guess it's time to get breakfast.
Lincoln gets dressed and goes downstairs, but when he reaches to the kitchen, he sees nobody in there. He looks around and then finds a stack of pancakes on a plate. He assumes his sisters made it
Lincoln: (sarcastic) Oh how cute.....they made that for me.
As he inspects the pancakes, his sisters come up from behind
Lori: (nervous) Hey..........Lincoln...
Lincoln just glared at them
Luna: Uh.....we made you those pancakes..
Leni: Thought you might want some.....
Lincoln: (irritated) Nice try! All you're trying to do is to get me to become "family" again so you can act like nothing happened! Listen, it's not gonna work this time! I've been the victim too many times, and now it's your turn! You can keep trying, but you're just wasting your time!
Lincoln walked out of the kitchen and headed back upstairs to the bathroom. The sisters slowly followed him upstairs and stopped in the middle of the hall
Lynn: (whisper) Luna! It's not looking so good!
Luna: (whisper) Well, we can't just give up over some pancakes. We'll need more attempts. Maybe Mom and Dad can help with one of them.
Lori: (whisper) Let's hope it works. We only have all day.
Lisa: (whisper) And this day only has 18 hours, 52 minutes and 10 seconds left, so we better make it count.
Lincoln then comes out of the bathroom and sees them all in a circle
Lincoln: (sarcastic) I see that your planning something! Well, good luck because like I said, you're wasting your time!
Lincoln walks back down the stairs, leaving the sisters on top
Lori: Don't worry girls, we'll get him back. One way or another. Who's with me?
Sisters: We are!
Lori: Ok, lets not waste anymore time!
Lynn: So, what do we do next?
Luna: Oh! Lets see if we can get him comics! He likes thoses!
Lori: Not bad, but he won't instantly forgive us because of that, so we'll need to do more after that.
Lana: Alright, to the comic store!
They all rush downstairs and leave the house, leaving Lincoln with Rita and Lynn Sr, who are nervous to go up to him.
Lincoln: (relaxed, talking to viewers) Finally, some peace and quiet!
Rita: L-Lincoln?
Lincoln: (talking to viewers) Nevermind!
Lynn Sr: Y-You're home!
Lincoln: (sarcastic) I know, shocker! I wasn't expecting to be here either, but you know, life puts harsh decisions on you!
Rita: (nervous) W-What do you mean?
Lincoln: (irritated) I mean that I didn't want to be here! If I never got caught by the sisters, I still would've been gone!
Lynn Sr: (nervous) Why don't you wann-
Lincoln: (irritated) Shut it right there! You know why!
Rita: (nervous) W-What do you mean?
Lincoln: (angry) Oh my god! Is everyone stupid in this house?! You know why, but you're just denying it! I'm talking about the "bad luck" situation! You guys were involved as well! Kicking me out of the house! What kind of parents are you?! Kicking their own child out!
Lynn Sr: (nervous) That wasn't us that kicked you out, that was the sisters!
Lincoln: (angry) You're now blaming the sisters?! You kicked me out as well and even if it was just them, why didn't you do anything?! A normal parent would let their child back in and ground everyone that was involved, but NOPE! You go with this superstition because you respect the sisters more that me!
Rita: You know that we do-
Lincoln: (livid) You're wrong! Everytime something occurs, you go with the sister's side! Remember the clogged toliet a while ago? You didn't even let me explain anything! And how about what's happening right now?! Once again, you don't even let me explain why I don't have "bad luck"! There is no such thing as bad luck! But you wanna believe it!
The parents can't think of anything to think of and this proved Lincoln's point, but something popped into Lincoln's head
Lincoln: (livid) Hang on a minute! I just realized something! I think I know why you always go with the sisters and not me! It's because i'm different from them! I'm the only boy in the "family" and I have to deal with 10 "sisters" and you "parents" decides to go with the sisters because i'm not one of them! Even if I did have a "brother", you would still go with the sisters because they out number me! I bet if I was still missing, you wouldn't even care because never once did I see you guys searching for me! I only saw the girls, who were a complete mess! I can only say that they were the only ones who cared! You guys can't even tell the truth in front of your own child! Now that's telling the truth!
Lincoln storms up to his room, slamming the door. The sisters then walk into the house to hear the slam and to see the parent's devastated faces
Lola: I'm gonna guess something bad just happened.
Lynn Sr: Well, you win the award then...
Lori: What happened?
Rita: Well, Lincoln proved to us that we always lie in front of him and lways take your side instead of his.
Luna: Well, I guess this is a bad time to give these to him then
Rita: He's in his room if you want to give them to him. Maybe they'll calm him down.
The girls all think about it
Leni: I don't wanna. He'll not even let us close to him if he's mad, so it's best if we let him calm down on his own
Sisters: Agreed!
Lana: Well, I guess we can watch tv while we wait for him to calm down
Lynn: Nah, i'm just gonna go to my room.
Lola: Same
Luna: Same here
Lily: Poo poo!
Leni: I'm going up as well.
Lynn, Lola, Lily, Luna and Leni all go upstairs and enter their rooms while the remainding sisters sit down to watch some tv. For the rest of the day, each sister tries to get Lincoln to at least talk to him, but anything they tried to do, he's either ignored it or declined it. The comic books, he's declined. They asked for him to talk, he's declined. The give him new videogames, he's declined it. Later that night, the girls are in Lori's room, updating the status
Lori: So i'm gonna assume he hasn't talked to anyone yet?
Sisters: (low voice) Yeah....
Lucy: When will he talk?
Lana: I don't know. He not talking to anyone! Not even Mom or Dad!
Leni: Well, we just gotta give him time to calm down...
Lola: He had a bunch of time! He's still mad!
Lynn: (low voice) Maybe it's because we keep bothering him...
Everyone notices the change in Lynn's voice and face her. She is looking at the floor, not paying any attention to anyone
Lori: Lynn....?
She didn't answer, but she kinda looks up at them
Leni: I know Lincoln is all mad at us, but he'll eventually forgive us....
Lynn: (low voice) I know that.....But why is it me who always start...?
Luna: What do you mean?
Lynn: (low voice) I mean.....I always start things that has to do with Lincoln! I blamed him for his bad luck, I didn't hang out with him when he was bored and I used him as a kickball! If he isn't gonna forgive one person, that'll be me!
Lynn's lip started trembling and he started blinking rapidly. Before anything could happen, she left the room slowly.
Lori: Well...that's everything for tonight. Just keep thinking of something and hope that he'll listen to it.
Everyone left the room and entered their own. They all got ready to bed and gave one last look at Lincoln's door. They all then went to sleep
The next day[]
Lincoln wakes up and notices a slip of paper on his floor. He rolled his eyes and picked it up. It was a note and it read "Please let us talk -sisters".Lincoln was about to rip the note but then thought about it. He decided to finally hear about what they wanted. He wasn't expecting much so he got ready and headed downstairs. He founded all of his sisters on the couch, waiting for him. He gave them a glare
Lincoln: (annoyed) What is it?
Luan: Listen.....I know you're mad and we don't blame you. We did some horrible stuff to you.
Lori: And we're sorry for that.
Leni: And there were so many thing that we made you miss out
Lola: So we decided to
Lynn: Redo all of it.
Lana: We're gonna do all of the stuff that you missed
Lisa: But there's one difference
Lucy: You're in it
Luna: We wanna repay you for what we did to you
Lori: So what do you say?
Lincoln stood there thinking about his answer. He was never ask this stuff when he was "bad luck" so he was somewhat delighted when his sister invited him. It didn't make him forget about what they did however.
Lincoln: You know what? I'll give you girls a chance to redeem yourselves. I'll go, but it doesn't mean I forgive you.
The girls were happy that he finally listened and almost started cheering. They manage to stay calm and start talking again
Lori: Alright Lincoln! We'll make this the best day you've ever have in your life!
Lincoln: Let's hope so......
Luna: Ok, let's get ready, because first we're heading for the movies!
Lincoln: (sarcastically) Yaaaay....
Lola: Oh, c'mon Lincoln! It'll be fun!
Lincoln: I hope so....
They all goe upstairs to get ready to go to the movies and 10 minutes later, they all regroup downstairs
Leni: Alright, let's go!
Lynn Sr: Wait!
They all stop in their tracks, confused
Rita: You think you can go to the movies......without us?
Lynn Sr: We're coming along too because we believe that Lincoln deserves some attention from his parents.
For once since Lincoln returned home, he finally smiled, but not for long as he turns around and leaves the house
Lori: Alright, let's not waste anymore time. Let's go
The rest leaves the house for the movies. Ten minutes later, they arrive to the theater. They get themselves popcorn and go towards the posters for the movies
Luna: So bro, what do you wanna see?
Lincoln: Hmmmmm
Lynn Sr: This is all up to you son.
Lincoln: (low voice) I don't know, surprise me.
They all look at movies and they come onto an agreement for what they should see. They pick an animated movie for the classic Looney Tunes
Lincoln: (sarcastic) Not a bad choice
Lori: Thank you!
Lincoln rolls his eyes and they continue to get their tickets. They then enter the movie itself and take their seats. The trailers were still on, so this gave them a chance to talk to Lincoln
Rita: Listen honey....we're-
Lincoln: I know what you're about to say. You're sorry
Rita: Well....yeah. It was awful for us to do all of this to you.
Lincoln: (sigh) I'm gonna be honest too. I actually went with it because I wanted some freetime to myself, but that taught me two things. One, it gets boring when there's no one around and two, don't underestimate what your family will do to you.
Luan: Why didn't you tell us?
Lincoln: BecauseI didn't think that you would say yes to it
Lynn: What makes you think that?
Lincoln: Because since i'm your only brother, I thought you would want me to be with you, but because of my actions, this all happened!
Lincoln was upset of the whole ordeal, mostly mad and sad. His family noticed this and continued to talk to him
Lynn Sr: Listen son, it's not your fault. We should've understand that you wanted some freetime, but instead we just kicked you out of everything we did, even when you wanted to be back in it.
Lynn: And it's my fault for starting the whole superstition in the first place. It was stupid of me to blame my only brother who had nothing to do with our lost that day. I'm really sorry....
Lincoln was just about to say something but the lights in the room went out and the movie started
Lincoln: (whisper) We'll talk when this is done.
They watch the movie for an hour and a half. When the movie ended, they all regrouped at the lobby
Lincoln: I'm not gonna lie, that was funny!
Luna: You said it dude!
Lynn: Yeah.....
Lincoln notices that Lynn is very quiet
Lincoln: (sigh) Listen, i'm still upset that you made me do all of that, but I do appreciate that you guys are willing to make me happy.
Lucy: Is it working though?
Lincoln: I gotta say you guys are making progress.
Everyone's frown turned into a smile
Lynn: That's good to know..
Lincoln: Alright, where to next?
Lori: The amusment park!
Lincoln: Sounds interesting.
Luan: It is! Don't worry Lincoln, it'll get the "amusem*nt" out of you! Hahahaha
For once Lincoln slightly chuckles at her joke, making her happy
Luan: Hey, you like it! You didn't groan
Lincoln: You want me to?
Luan: I'm good.
Lincoln: Alright, let's go!
They all enter vanzilla and head off to the amusem*nt park. For the remainder of the day, the group went to place after place. After the amusem*nt park, they went to the camping grounds to check out the monuments. They then headed over to the park to hangout in. Lincoln had a fun time with the places he went to and his mood changed throughout it. He was finally happy. Back at the house later that night, Lincoln was in his room
Lincoln: (talking to viewers) Well, you know what they say, family is life's greatest blessings and today was that. I was stupid to say that they were not my family. Don't get me wrong, I was still mad, but I knew that they would always be my family, no matter how much I pretend they weren't. They always know what to do when i'm not happy. They'll do anything to either cheer me up or to make me forgive them. It took them a while and they succeeded. You wanna know what else they say? One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it's guilt, anger, love, loss or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go. This is everything that happened to me. I was betrayed and angry and I decided to hold onto my anger by running away. It backfired, however and I was brought back home but the betrayal and anger was still in me. I couldn't let go until they took me out. That's when I realized I can't be mad forever and I finally let go. Anyways, i'm gonna go confront them and tell them everything.
Lincoln went downstairs and saw his family on the couch, watching tv. They still thought he was mad so they decided to stop talking and let him speak
Lincoln: (to family) You guys really did it. You brought me back and I couldn't be any happier.
Lincoln then brought his arms back, suggesting a family hug. His family didn't hesitate and ran into his arms. They were all happy that he was back and he was happy to be back. They were lucky enough to get him back. After all, they had No Such Luck
