User blog:TMNT1987Dude/Fanfiction - Big Top Lincoln

Well here it is everybody Big Top Lincoln. It took me quite a while to finish it, and I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had thinking up this story which originated from a thought I had about the possibility of there being an episode where Lincoln runs away. Here it is enjoy.

It was just another evening at the Loud House, but this particular evening was even more chaotic than usual. As we enter the house the family is all sitting in the dining room with Lincoln not happy with his surroundings.



Lincoln looks to the audience “just once can't we have a normal evening” he said as Lynn threw a tennis ball at him.



-”Bullseye” shouted Lynn.



-”Stop that Lynn”



-”Or what?”



-”Dad will you tell Lynn to leave me alone.”



-”Lynn stop with the roughhousing”



-”Always have to cry to mommy and daddy huh Linc”, said Lynn as Lola and Lana laughed at him.



<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Quit being a baby, and handle things yourself weakling” said Lola.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lily began crying, and Lincoln picked her up, and made her stop crying.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”At least you never give me any lip” said Lincoln as he cradled Lily in his arms.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Just then Lana threw some mashed potatoes at Lynn, and then it turned into a food fight while Mr. and Mrs. Loud attempted to end it. Lincoln, Lisa, and Leni were the only ones not partaking in it, but once Lori noticed Lincoln was ducking down she informed the rest of them, and they all turned towards Lincoln, and pelted him with food. As they laughed Lincoln's face turned red, and he finally erupted.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“THATS IT” Lincoln screamed as his sisters and parents all stopped, and were stunned to hear Lincoln sound so angry.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”May I please be excused?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“Sure son” said Mr. Loud as Lincoln got up, and brought Lily with him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln turned towards his family, and angrily stated “I don't want to see or talk to any of you”, and with that he turned around, and headed upstairs as his entire family sat there completely speechless.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“You've always been good to me Lily” said Lincoln as he lay Lily down into her crib. Afterwards he angrily went into his room, and again spook to the audience.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Wouldn't trade it for the world, who am I kidding I'd trade this away in a heartbeat. Always yelling, and fighting, Lori, Lynn, and Lola are always teasing me, and they never appreciate anything I do.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln just sat on his bed thinking about his situation. “I wish there's some way to get away from all of this, and to just live a nice peaceful life”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln continued to to sit there angrily, and trying to think of a way out of his predicament. Once again he turned to the audience.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Are you pondering what I'm pondering?”, said Lincoln as he spoke to the audience. “Now I know what you're thinking, Lincoln that's big aren't you going to regret that? It's the only way out, and I can't stand to be in this insane asylum any longer”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln began to pack everything he would want to bring with him, and also went into his secret storage spot where he had money hidden away. “I always knew this would come in handy as he grabbed the money, and shoved it into one of his bags.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">After he was done packing he remembered how he would have to back downstairs threw the front door to leave the house, and this upset him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Now what am I gonna do?” he asked to himself as he hit far corner of his room, and the slide Lisa had installed as a secret escape was still there.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Wow I didn't know Lisa still had this installed here”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Before he left he walked into Lisa and Lily's room to say goodbye to Lily.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodbye Lily” said Lincoln as he picked her up to hug her. “I'll miss you baby sister, and please stay the sweet person you are and never change”. With that he kissed Lily on her forehead, and put her back down onto her crib, and left the room.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln took the slide down, and as he walked off he took one last look at the house, and seemed to really be thinking about what he's doing, but he finally turned around, and walked off.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile his sisters minus Lily were sitting in the living room still feeling flabbergasted by Lincoln's outburst.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Whoa have you guys ever sen Lincoln so angry before?” asked Lynn.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”To be honest he did have a reason to be angry” said Lisa.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Maybe one of us should go talk to him” suggested Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”He said he didn't want to see or talk to any of us Leni” said Lynn.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Let me handle this girls” said Mr. Loud. “What this needs is a little father-son time”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards Mr. Loud headed upstairs to Lincoln's room, and knocked on the door.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Son may I please come in?” he asked, but there was no answer. “Lincoln?” he uttered as he opened the door. “Lincoln where are you?” he asked as he noticed a lot of Lincoln's belongings were missing, and he saw on the note on his bed. He picked up the note, and let out a huge scream.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of the family heard Mr. Loud's scream, and watched as he frantically ran down the stairs.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What happened?” asked all of the sisters in unison.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln's gone” said Mr Loud as he held up the piece of paper that read “Goodbye and Good Riddance!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">All of his sisters gasped, and ran up the stairs to see if he had really gone. They all looked upstairs meanwhile Mrs Loud called 911.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lynn went into Lincoln's room, and noticed the walkie talkie was still there, and used it to call Clyde.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Clyde, Clyde are you there?” Just then Clyde answered.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lynn is that you?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln ran away he isn't at your place is he?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln ran away, what did you do to the man?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's not helping”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards the Loud family took to the streets, and went out to search for Lincoln. Meanwhile the police showed up at the Loud residence, and Mr. Loud went to speak with them.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”He's about that high with white hair” he said as he handed the cops a picture of Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Don't worry Mr. Loud”, said one of the two cops, “We already have as many officers as possible on the search”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“We've sent men all over town, and of he's still here we'll have him found in no time” said the second cop.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">However it was far too late as Lincoln was already on a Gray Hound bus leaving Royal Woods. He sat there on the bus as some other passengers looked, and wondered why he had so many bags with him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lori and Leni were still walking around town looking for Lincoln when Leni said, “Have you tried calling him?”. “Leni you're brilliant” said Lori as she called Lincoln's smart phone.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln felt his phone vibrate, but when he saw it was Lori calling him he ignored it, and didn't respond.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”He didn't answer” said Lori as she turned to Leni and said “It's getting late we better head back home”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”But we have to find Lincoln”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Leni we have to get home there's nothing more we can do at this time.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The sisters all arrived back home with no luck.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well girls the police are on the search, but it seems like Lincoln isn't even in town anymore.”, said Mr. Loud as he walked out of the room crying.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“This is all your fault” shouted Lola towards Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What do you mean my fault?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in"> -”You're the one who's always so mean to him”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Look who's talking little miss prima donna”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”How dare you” shouted Lola as she, and Lori argued.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”And you Lynn” said Lana, “always hitting him here see how you like it”, and she shoved Lynn.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It is on” said Lynn as she and Lana began to fight.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Maybe your stupid pranks are what drove him away” said Luna to Luan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Or maybe your ear shattering noise is what left him on a sour note”, but Luan didn't laugh at her own joke as she and Luna also began to argue.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Guys this isn't helping” said Lisa.“GUYS”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”QUIET” screamed Lucy.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">All of the sisters were speechless in heaving heard Lucy scream.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Guys we're all to blame for this” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What are you talking about?” asked Luan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well we've all inconvenienced him at some point just look at what happened tonight, and look at us now bickering over who's fault it is; no wonder Lincoln ran away”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">All of the sisters were flabbergasted by Leni's speech.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Leni that was really profound” said Lisa.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you, uhh what did I find?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We gotta find Lincoln, and make things right” said Lori as the other sisters all nodded in agreement.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The following morning Lincoln got off after a whole night of traveling on the bus. He was already a few towns over, and didn't know where he was.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln looked towards the audience, “Well here's the start of my new life, I'm just going to move on, and not dwell on the past”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln then spent the rest of the day exploring around the town trying to familiarize himself with his surroundings. He wondered how long he would stay here, and where exactly he would find his new life.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Back in royal Woods later that evening the police showed up at the Loud House.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well we've searched high and low, and no sign of your son” said the first cop.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We spoke with someone at the local bus station, and they had sold Lincoln a ticket out of Royal Woods just before you placed the report. There's no telling where he could be” said the second cop. “But not to worry we're spreading the word threw out the county, and all the neighboring towns should be alerted as soon as possible.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you so much for your help” said Mrs. Loud to the two police officers as they left to continue the search.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile Lincoln was at a diner having dinner, and he continued to ignore calls from his family.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The waitress came to give him a refill on his soda, and noticed all of the bags he had with him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Visiting relatives?” she asked.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards Lincoln left a tip for the waitress, went to pay the check, and walked out of the diner.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">He was wondering where he would spend the night, and began to look around town for a motel. He came across one, and went into the office.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Room for one please”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sorry no vacancy said the manager”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”But the sign says you have vacancy”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Oh it does?”, and he switched it so the sign would say no vacancy. “Sorry about that”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">He found a another motel, and went in. “Room for one please”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You got a parent, or legal guardian to sign for this kid?” asked the manger.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”No”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodnight”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln continued to search, and all the other motels he came across had no vacancy.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well I suppose I could just set my tent, and sleep in my sleeping bag under a tree in the park” said Lincoln as he spoke to the audience.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Just then Lincoln heard music in the distance, and went over to see what it was. Turns out there was a circus in town, and Lincoln decided to go check it out.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Maybe some entertainment will help”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As he walked up to the line he waited until he reached the ticket booth.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“Hurry, hurry ladies and gentlemen step right up” said the ticket guy as Lincoln approached to purchase a ticket.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Awful lot of bags there kid”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”So I've been told”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln purchased some popcorn, soda, and cotton candy, and went to take his seat as the ringmaster stepped out to introduce the show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages welcome to the Rolan Circus” shouted the ringmaster to the crowd. 'We've got a spectacular lineup for you tonight so lets get started.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As Lincoln watched the show he was amazed by the many acts this circus provided such as a horse show, clowns, acrobats, a strong man, a contortionist, a magician, a big cat tamer, elephants, and a family who did a primate show. After the show Lincoln was so fascinated by it that he stuck around the place afterwards. Lincoln was just walking around the circus tents, and wondering what life in the circus would be like. Just then he heard a loud voice.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What are you doing here?” shouted a circus barker as Lincoln ran to get away from him. “Stop” he shouted as he chased after Lincoln. Lincoln continued to run until he accidentally crashed into the dining tent, and all of the circus performers took notice.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Gotcha” said the barker as he approached Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey I've seen him before he was at the show tonight” said the ticket guy.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'm sorry, please don't hurt me I meant to harm”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Put him down” said the ringmaster, and the barker put Lincoln down. “Now kid you want to tell us why you're snooping around here?”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Allow me to introduce myself my name is Lincoln, Lincoln Loud. I saw your show tonight and it was SUPER AMAZING. I didn't know what to do so I just stayed around since I have nowhere else to go.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Don't you have a home, and a family?” asked the man from the primate act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”No I'm an orphan, and I don't have a home”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“Oh my gosh” said a female clown.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Crikey what should we do Mr. Rolan?” asked the cat tamer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well Lincoln you can stay with us tonight, but tomorrow once we travel to the next town, and set up we better contact someone to see where you can go”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Cool Lincoln can stay with us” said the kid from the primate act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Great idea” said the strong man. “There's no one else Skip's age here in the circus so staying with the Palmers would be a great idea.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Fine with me” said Mr. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hello Lincoln I'm Winston Palmer, and this is my wife Lara, and our son Skip”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Nice to meet you” said Lara.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Man this is cool, finally someone my age in the circus” said Skip.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's wonderful to meet all of you” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards Skip introduce Lincoln to the remainder of the circus family.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is the strong man Bruno”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Great to meet you Lincoln” said Bruno as he lifted up Lincoln, and put him back down.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Cool you're very strong”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks Lincoln”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Tobias” as Skip introduced him to the cat tamer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”My pleasure young mate” said Tobias as he shook Lincoln's hand.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's great to meet you to” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Sebastian”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Pleased to make your acquaintance Lincoln” said Sebastian, “You like cotton candy?”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Of course”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Presto” as Sebastian produced some cotton candy, and handed it over to Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Ezra”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Ezra is in a strange position, and extends his foot rather than his hand to shake Lincoln's hand. “It's great to meet you Lincoln”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Nice to meet you to sir” said Lincoln somewhat weirded out.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”These are the clowns”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey there little buddy” said a male clown.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's wonderful to meet you Lincoln” said the female clown”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's great to meet all of you as well.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”And these are the acrobats”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Nice to meet you Lincoln” said one of them.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's a pleasure” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well I believe that's everybody, now Lincoln if you would kindly follow the Palmers they'll lead you to where you'll be staying tonight” said Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodnight everybody it was great to meet all of you”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodnight Lincoln” said the circus folk in unison.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Now then follow us Lincoln” said Mr. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln followed the Palmers into their tent where he also got to meet the monkeys and gorilla that they use in their act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This are our group of monkeys, and our gorilla Daisy” said Mr. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”They're really cool” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The monkeys and Daisy were all flattered by Lincoln's words and walked over to meet him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Daisy is very friendly” said Mrs Palmer as Lincoln approached to meet her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Bongo” said Skip as he brought over one of the monkeys on his shoulder. “Bongo and Daisy are kinda like my siblings” said Skip, “the three of us are always hanging out, and they're my best friends”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's really cool” said Lincoln, “being friends with a monkey and a gorilla.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes it's non-traditional' said Mr. Palmer, “but living in the circus is a great way of life”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Unlike other kids I'm surrounded by animals, and eccentric people everyday, and get applauded by cheering crowds” said Skip. 'It really is the coolest life in the world”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Wow you make circus life sound better and better” said Lincoln. “Well anyway I've had a long day, and would like to hit the sack”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Very well Lincoln we have an extra bed right here you can sleep in”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Palmer this is very kind of you”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's not a problem at all Lincoln” said Mr. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We're always happy to help out someone in need” said Mrs. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodnight” said Lincoln as he went to bed.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodnight Lincoln' said the Palmers in unison.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The next day the circus performers had set up the big top in the next town, and were all practicing their acts for the next show. Lincoln continued to hang with the Palmers, and their primates, and even started to partake in their practice. Daisy in particular really liked Lincoln, and Lincoln began to do some tricks with her, Skip, and Bongo which really impressed Mr. and Mrs. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Would you look at that” said Mr. Palmer “she doesn't usually take to strangers so quickly”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln has been hanging out with me, Bongo, and Daisy, and they seem to really like him” said Skip.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln continued to partake with Skip in their primate act, and even joined in with Bongo during his, and Skip's act where Bongo balances on a beach ball while Skip, and Lincoln toss him spheres for Bongo to juggle. The rest of the circus performers all took notice, and were impressed by how Lincoln seemed to adapt well to the primate act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Would you look at that” said the female clown.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Blimey he's a natural that one” said Tobias.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”The kid's impressive” said Bruno.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Let me get Mr. Rolan” said Ezra as he walked out of the big top to inform Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Mr. Rolan was sitting in his office when Ezra came in.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Mr Rolan you got to come see what Lincoln can do”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Very well” said Mr. Rolan as he walked over to the big top.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Mr. Rolan walked into the big top and saw how Lincoln was partaking in The Palmers Primate Palooza act, and just like the rest of the circus folk he was quite impressed with Lincoln's skill.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Lincoln may I please speak with you for a moment?” asked Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Of course Mr. Rolan what's up?” asked Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I've never seen anyone adapt so well to a circus act in all my life” said Mr. Rolan. “I've got a proposition for you how would you Lincoln Loud like to become part of this circus family?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of the circus folk were all delighted to hear this, and looked towards Lincoln hoping he will accept the offer to become part of their show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes, yes, yes” answered Lincoln. “Being in this circus will be a dream come true; I fully accept.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of the circus applauded at receiving a new member to their circus family.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-That's great Lincoln” replied Mr. Rolan, “you will now be part of The Palmer's Primate Palooza.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is awesome finally another kid in the circus” cried Skip.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well then we've got to prepare you for your first show with us Lincoln” said Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”The show starts tonight at eight so we have less than twelve hours” replied Mr. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As the day progressed Lincoln got his own circus outfit, and perfected his act with the Palmers for the show. Later that night there was a crowd of people all entering the big top, and there was a poster placed outside with Lincoln on it to inform the crowd of the circus' new member. The people all sat down as Mr. Rolan came out to announce the show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages welcome to the Rolan Circus. We've got a spectacular lineup for you tonight folks so let's get started.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As the show proceeded the various acts of the circus all performed with thunderous applause from the crowd. Lincoln was behind the curtain as he and the Palmers were about to go on to do their primate act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Oh man this is it Lincoln”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Are you nervous?” asked Skip.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”No I'm ecstatic, this is gonna be so AWESOME”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Glad to see you so enthusiastic there Lincoln” said Mr. Palmer. “Well come on everybody we're on next”, and the the Palmers along with Lincoln, and the primates all walked out to be introduced.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”And now ladies and gentlemen get ready for our very own Palmers Primate Palooza with the newest member of our circus family LINCOLN LOUD” shouted Mr. Rolan as they all cam out to start their show to a receptive crowd.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well Lincoln this is it” said Skip as they all got ready to do their act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The Palmers and Lincoln along with the monkeys and Daisy all went out to perform their act which began with the group of monkeys doing their first trick with all of them doing flips to construct a monkey pyramid with all six monkeys, and Bongo being at the very top. After which Mr. and Mrs Palmer began the next trick with them setting up hoops, and the monkeys all leaping threw the hoops; followed by the monkeys trowing spheres through the hoops with the Palmers, and Lincoln catching them, and then throwing them to Daisy who caught them all in a bucket. After that Bongo went into his solo act with Skip and Lincoln with Bongo balancing on a beach ball, and Skip and Lincoln throwing spheres for him to juggle. Bongo continued to do is juggling while Skip and Lincoln than got ready with buckets for Bongo to drop the spheres into, and leap off the beach ball to be caught by Skip and Lincoln with the two of them holding him up. The Crowd applauded the act so far, and Lincoln was pleased with how his first show was going very successfully.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Okay Lincoln now it's time for your new trick with Daisy” uttered Skip as Mr. Palmer brought out a big hoop.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well Lincoln this is it” said Lincoln as he went over to Daisy as she picked him up and was aiming to throw Lincoln right through the hoop. Daisy threw Lincoln, and he successfully made it through.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The crowd all cheered as the primate act came to a close, and Lincoln stood there very proud to be a successful circus performer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”They love me” thought Lincoln to himself, “I'm finally home”. Lincoln was happy as the receptive crowd applauded them.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Later after the show was over the circus folk were all very impressed with Lincoln as his first show with them was a complete success.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You've got a lot of talent there Lincoln” said Bruno congratulating him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks, but I'm just a newbie here all of you guys are the real talent of this show”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”No need to be so modest Lincoln” said Sebastian.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I've never seen someone so young become accustomed so fast in all my years as a performer” said Ezra.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah it's going to be great having another kid in this show” said the female clown.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We're really glad to have you on board Lincoln” said Mr. Palmer, “and we couldn't have added someone more spirited than you”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks everybody this is really flattering, and it's so great to have someone appreciate me”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Not to worry Lincoln as long as you're a part of this show you're a part of the greatest family show in the world” said Mr. Rolan. “Now come on everyone lets go celebrate with a great meal”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of the circus folk all headed to the dining tent while Lincoln looked to the audience. “I'm home”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of that week was an amazing time for Lincoln with the Rolan Circus having one well received show after another, and the circus loving their new family member.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Another great show” said Mr. Rolan as all of them were in the dining tent.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes, and ever since Lincoln showed up I believe we've been getting the biggest reception we've ever gotten for our act” said Mr. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You really have given our act more appeal, and it's great for Daisy to have such a nice new friend” said Mrs. Palmer.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah Daisy is really cool” said Lincoln “I love working with her”. Just then Daisy came by and picked up Lincoln. “Okay Daisy put me down please I just ate”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of the circus folk laughed as Daisy put Lincoln down.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Can someone please give me a hand?” asked Ezra who was stuck in a tangled position.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I got this” said Bruno as he went to untangle Ezra.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well everyone I think I'm just going to hit the hay, I could use some sleep after tonight's show”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Goodnight Lincoln” said all of them in unison as Lincoln walked off to his tent.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln gets into bed, and looks at the audience, “Man this is such a great life; I'm going to love me new life in the circus” said Lincoln as he fell asleep.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile back in Royal Woods the Loud sisters sat in the living room completely depressed after a week of their brother missing.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Dinner's on the table” called out Mrs. Loud.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We're not hungry” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Girls you have to eat something”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”How can we eat when Lincoln is out there somewhere, and we don't know where” said Lynn.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Just then the phone rang and Mr. Loud went to pick it up. “Oh I see well thanks for all your help” said Mr. Loud as he hung up the phone. “Still no luck”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well girls your dinner is in the dining room if you want it” said Mrs. Loud as both their parents walked out of the room.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The girls just sat there gazing at the family picture Lincoln gave his parents for their anniversary with all of them focusing on Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is all our fault” said Lori about to break into tears.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We don't know where he is or if we'll ever see him again” said Lisa.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I miss him so much” said Lana as she began to cry.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”If only we could see him again so we could tell him we're sorry” said Luna.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Don't lose hope girls Lincoln is out there somewhere I'm sure of it, and I know we'll find him, and when that time comes we will make up, and everything will be alright again” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The rest of the girls all nodded, and Leni's words gave them all hope as they got up to go have their dinner.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Back at the circus they had completed another show, and were all getting ready to have dinner. Lincoln having loved being a part of the circus family was now starting to get a strange feeling, but he didn't know exactly why. He had seen how the circus folk are all one big functioning family unit, and he was happy to be a part of it, but he felt like something was missing, and he was beginning to wonder if he was feeling homesick. He looked throw some of his belongs, and while searching throw his backpack he noticed something was in there he hadn't before. Apparently when he was packing his things in a huff he didn't notice the family picture he took for his parents anniversary had also slipped into his backpack. With all of the family love he had seen by the circus folk, and how family is very important to them he began to miss his own family, and he finally listened to all of the voicemails they had left on his phone. He heard one sad voicemail after another of his sisters all pleading for him to come home, and how they 're sorry for what happened, and how much they miss him. Lincoln began to cry as he hugged the picture.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Could you pass the ketchup please?” asked Skip to Tobias who passed him the bottle of ketchup for his fries.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Everybody I have something I need to tell you” said Lincoln as he walked into the dining tent.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What's wrong buddy?” asked Skip.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's been so great being with you guys, and I've learned so much about how family is important. You always have to be honest with family, and I'm sorry to say I haven't been very honest with you”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What do you mean Lincoln?” asked Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'm not an orphan, I'm a runaway' said Lincoln as they all gasped. “This is my family” said Lincoln as he showed them his family picture.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln why would you runaway from?” asked Mr. Palmer. “family is the most important you will ever have.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”If only you guys knew what it's like back home with ten sisters, everyday it's loudness, and chaos. Your family is even bigger than mine, and you all get along great. Why can't my family be more like yours”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Let me tell you something Lincoln” said Mr. Rolan as he approached him. “We may be a family, but at the same time we are also a business”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes Lincoln it's not always smiles for us” said Mr. Palmer, “we still have our moments of friction from time to time”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”But when all is said and done we're always there for each other, and always remember the most important thing in life is family” said Ezra.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”And besides Lincoln you have to learn to get along it doesn't just happen automatically” said Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Everybody” shouted the ticket guy as he entered the tent, “Lincoln isn't an orphan he...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We know' said the circus folk in unison.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Mr. Rolan took the flier, and looked at it. “Hey it's says here your from Royal Woods, and that's the next stop on our tour. We can go a head and inform the authorities there that we found you, and your family can come pick you when we set up there.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That would be great, nothing would make me happier to be in my hometown again”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Not to worry Lincoln you'll be back in Royal Woods tomorrow night”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The following day the two police officers came to the Loud House to inform them of Lincoln's whereabouts.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hello officers” said Mr. Loud.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We have great news” said the first cop, “your son has been found.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”WHERE” said all of the sisters as they all came up to the door.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hold on” said the second cop “we don't have him he's with the people who found. They're heading into town tonight”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Who is he with?” asked the Loud sisters.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”The circus” replied the second cop.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”THE CIRCUS?” cried out the entire Loud Family.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”They're on their way to Royal Woods now, and they will be here late tonight. So you can stop by, and pick him tomorrow morning”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The Loud Family were all happy to hear Lincoln was okay, and that they would be seeing him soon.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile the Rolan Circus was on the road heading into Royal Woods.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Good news Lincoln' said Mr. Palmer, “your family has been informed, and they will come to pick you up tomorrow morning”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln was happy to know he would be back home very soon.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The following morning the circus was all set, and Lincoln was in the big top having his final moments with Bongo and Daisy. “Well guys this is going to be our last day together” said Lincoln as Bongo and Daisy looked on feeling sad.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln your family's here” announced Sebastian.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well guys that's my cue” said Lincoln to Bongo and Daisy as he walked out of the big top only to find his family standing right outside waiting for him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Guys” said Lincoln as he gazed upon them for the first time for over a week.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lincoln” they all shouted as they rushed over to him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Oh Lincoln we missed you so much; we were afraid we'd never see you again” said all of his sisters as they all crowded around Lincoln hugging him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Don't you ever scar us like again EVER” shouted Lori as she picked him up. Afterwards she hugged him tight, “I really missed you Lincoln”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I missed all of you to”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We're sorry about what happened that night bro” said Luna.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Please forgive us Lincoln?” pleaded all of his sisters.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Of course guys” said Lincoln as they all embraced.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you so much for taking care of our son” said Mr. and Mrs. Loud to Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It was our pleasure Mr. and Mrs. Loud; your son is a very special boy. Before he goes home I have one thing to ask of you”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What's that?” asked Mrs Loud.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Would it it be alright if Lincoln did one last show with us?” asked Mr. Rolan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah it would be awesome to see Lincoln in the circus” said the sisters in unison.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That would be just fine” said Mr. Loud.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's splendid” said Mr. Rolan. “We'll supply all of you with passes to attend the show; you'll have the best seats in the house”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Well sisters we have ten hours till the show tonight; during that time I can introduce you guys to all my new friends”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards his family followed him into the big top to meet all of the circus folk.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”These are the Palmers; they were the ones I primarily stayed with” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's a pleasure to meet all of you I'm Winston Palmer, this is my wife Lara, and our son Skip”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's wonderful to meet you” said Lincoln's family as they shook hands.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”So you guys do a monkey show?” asked Lana.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes” answered Mr. Palmer, “we work with a group of six monkeys, and a gorilla”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln's family observed the Palmer's primates, and were amazed by the tricks they saw them perform.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Bongo” said Lincoln “he and Daisy are kinda like Skip's siblings”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's right I always hang out with them, and they're like a brother, and sister to me” said Skip. “Because there are no other kids in this circus it was cool when Lincoln came along, and the four of us were one big posse”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Quite fascinating” said Lisa. “These primates are quite intelligent, and well trained.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It must be awesome to spend so much time with monkeys” said Lana.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah it is really cool” said Skip.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Let's continue” said Lincoln as he brought them over to meet the rest of the circus folk. “This is Sebastian the Stunning”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's very nice to meet all of you” said Sebastian. “Hocus Pocus” chanted Sebastian as he produced a bouquet of roses for each of the Loud sisters, and one for Mrs. Loud.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you very much” said all of them in unison.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Bruno the Behemoth”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hello there; why what lovely young ladies you all are” said Bruno.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks” said the sisters as they blushed.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Elastic Ezra”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's a big honor to meet Lincoln's family” said Ezra who was in a stretched position, and extended his foot rather than his hand.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's great to meet you to sir” said Lori as all of his sisters were somewhat weirded out by him.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is Cat Tamer Tobias”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's an honor to make the acquaintance of such dashing young women” remarked Tobias.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's also an honor to meet you to good sir' said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”These are the clowns”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey do you girls like balloon animals?” asked the female clown.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Of course” remarked Luan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Any requests?” asked the male clown.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'd like a lion” said Luan.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”An elephant for me please” said Lana.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The clowns quickly produced balloon animals for the Loud sisters.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks” said the sisters.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”And these are the acrobats”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey there ladies” said one of the acrobats as they were practicing for the show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Wow Lincoln your circus friends are all very nice people” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah they are really cool” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile out in town there were fliers being placed about the circus, and Clyde came across one of them.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Come to The Rolan Circus with our special guest for tonight only LINCOLN LOUD” said Clyde. “Lincoln was in the circus; this I gotta see”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As the show approached a number of people showed up to attend the circus especially once word got out Lincoln was in the show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hurry, hurry, hurry ladies and gentlemen” announced the ticket guy as everyone approached to purchase tickets for the show. “Wow tonight's going to be a packed show”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The show was about to commence, and everyone was getting seated. Quite a number of Lincoln's friends, and acquaintances were all there including Clyde, Harold McBride, Howard McBride, Bobby, Ronnie Ann, Mrs. Johnson, and all of Lincoln's classmates. The Louds were all seated, and Mr. Rolan came out to announce the show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hello Royal Woods Michigan. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages welcome to The Rolan Circus. We've got a spectacular line up for you tonight folks so let's get things started with our very own powerhouse the amazing Bruno the Behemoth”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">All of the crown applauded as Bruno came out,

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Bruno growled as he introduced his act. “Good evening boys and girls are you ready to see me bench press this bench with some of my circus co-stars sitting on it?”. Lincoln sat in the middle of the bench while an acrobat, and the female clown were sitting on the two ends. Bruno lifted the bench with ease, and the crowd applauded.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">“Whoa” said Lynn completely amazed, but when her sisters saw her her expression of amazement turned into disinterest. “Pfft I can do that” said Lynn as her sisters rolled there eyes.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards the clown went out to perform, and they were doing a routine involving working at a diner. Two of them was sitting there as customers, while the female clown was the waitress, and the short clown was the cook. The female clown came, and slipped while bringing out a cake, and it hit one of the clowns in the face, and the crown laughed. Meanwhile the short clown was cooking calamari, but the squid wasn't quite dead yet, and the tentacles began to come out of the pot while he tried to use a wooden spoon to whack them back into the pot. Eventually the tentacles got a hold of the short clown, and the female clown had to come help him with the tentacles being out of control. The antics of the clown act really went well with the crowd as the whole big top erupted with laughter.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“Ha ha ha ha” laughed Luan “aren't they great” she said to her family.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“Yeah they're actually funny” said Lola.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“HEY” complained Luan. Her sisters just laughed while Luan sat there with her arms crossed.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Afterwards came the horse which also went well with the crows especially Lana who was impressed with all the horse, and rope tricks.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Sebastian the Stunning came out next with his magic act.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Next came Cat Tamer Tobias along with his two tigers, and his black panthers.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“I can't watch” cried Leni as she covered her eyes.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Tobias' act started off with Leni not having watched his opening.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“How much of him is left?” asked Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-“He's still in one piece Leni” said Lucy.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Mr. Rolan walked off while the Palmers, Lincoln, and the primates came out. “Good evening Royal Woods” said Mr. Palmer “give it up for our fabulous trained monkeys”.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

The crowd were all impressed by Bongo's trick, and they received a big applause. He continued to juggle while also leaping on the beach ball, and then tossed the spheres back to Skip and Lincoln as they caught them in buckets. Then Bongo did a back flip of the beach ball, and was caught by Skip and Lincoln who both held him high as the three of them received a big applause from the crowd; especially the Loud Family who were greatly impressed with their brother's skill in the circus.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Okay buddy now it's time to show them your trick with Daisy” said Skip as Lincoln went up to Daisy so they could start. Mr. Palmer brought the big hoop, and Daisy lifted up Lincoln as she prepared to aim him at the hoop.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Does Lincoln know what he's doing?” asked Lori nervously.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey if he's done this before it should be fine” said Luna who was also worried.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">As Daisy was about ready to toss the Lincoln through the hoop his family and friends were all worried how the trick would turn out. Lincoln got tossed, and he went through the hoop successfully, and the crowd was amazed and applauded.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln walked with his family, and got into Vanzilla as they prepared to go home. Lincoln rolled down the window, and waved to his circus friends with all of them waving back as Vanzilla drove off.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”An eccentric bunch, but very kind people” said Lisa with the rest of the sisters all agreeing with her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The family pulled up in front of The Loud House, and Lincoln was happy to see his home again. He rushed upstairs to put all of his things back into his room, and then went back downstairs to be with his family.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This house felt empty without you Lincoln” said Mr. Loud as the whole family got close to Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We love you Lincoln, and we promise to never treat you like that ever again” said Luna.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I love all of you to” said Lincoln as he, and his family all engaged in one last group hug.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln looked to the audience to deliver his final monologue. “I'll never do something like that again, but thanks to this whole experience I feel like I'm closer to my family than ever before.
