''[For the fourth time, we open to Lincoln and all ten his sisters in the living room as most of them sit on the couch. Lincoln sits in the middle while Leni, Luan, Lucy, and Lynn sit on one side while Lori, Luna, and Lily sit on the other side of him. The only ones who aren't on the couch are Lola, Lana, and Lisa, who sit front of their siblings with their legs crossed in Indian style.]''

Lincoln: Hey, guys! We're all back to bring you another special episode of "Peeking Through the Fourth Wall"! [turns to his sisters] You all excited or what?!

[The sisters cheer loudly]

Lincoln: That's what I thought. [turns back to the viewers as the thunderous applause dies down] Guys, it's been quite the journey hasn't it? We've finally reached episode number twenty of this series. Thanks to all the contributions you guys have brought in, we've really gotten to experience quite a lot of interesting stories about the Loud family. And we really appreciate all of them.

Lisa:' Even if quite a few of them were bogged down by a litany of embarrassing grammatical flubs.

Lori: [squints darkly while folding her arms] And some of them could've portrayed me in a better light. Y'know, just saying.

Luan: And was it too much to ask for just one of them to have the umbrella bui-

Luna: Ugh, enough about the dumb umbrella building, dude! It wasn't funny sixteen episodes ago, and it's not funny now!

[Luan laughs while Luna rolls her eyes.]

Leni: [to Luna] Wait, how can it only be sixteen episodes? That can't be right. What about all those episodes of "Peeking Through the Fourth Wall: After D-"

Lori: [quickly slaps a hand over Leni's mouth] Sssssssssh!

Lynn: Wait, what is she talking about?

Lori: Nothing! Let's just get on with the fic! [turns to Lincoln after drawing her hand away from Leni's mouth] How about it, Lincoln?!

'Lincoln: Well, I was going to before some of you decided to interrupt me.

[Lisa, Lori, Luan, Luna, Leni, and Lynn cringe and chuckle sheepishly.]

Lincoln: So then, let's all dive into our twentieth episode. Today's fanfiction is called "Fury of Lincoln Loud" by WildKirbyAtrox.

Lucy: Ah, this story sounds like it promises the look into the inner depths of a tormented soul that's finally expelling years of mental anguish out in the open. [smiles] I like it.

Lincoln: [frowns] You sound almost too excited for that, considering that this story appears to be about me.

Lucy: [shrugs] Hey, it had to be about one of us, right? Might as well get whatever good we can get from it.

Lincoln: [sighs] I guess you have a point. Anyway, let's get started, shall we?

(Okay, before ANYONE starts narking at me or argues with me about how this is too much like Regular Show, I kindly suggest that you READ the description AND read the comments as well. If there are any further comments doing any of the above, I will not hesitate to block you.)

Lynn: Dang! This guy's not messing around about his story.

Lincoln: "Regular Show"? Is that anything like "Humdrum Program"?

''Just a day after the sisters had gone through a DEFCON situation in the Loud House, Lincoln slowly opens the door of his parent's room. He looks around to see if his sisters are around, but to his surprise they're not present. Slowly and quietly, Lincoln exits the master bedroom and attempts to make his way towards the stairs... Only to be confronted by an angry group of Loud Sisters as they loom over him.''

''"Oh, hey guys... So I took your advice, and stayed out of your fighting like you said," Said Lincoln. "So I take it that you were able to solve your problems without me involved... Right?" Unfortunately for Lincoln, the sisters still look upset. And then Lori spoke.''

"Yes... We DID solve our problems again. But then we realized that the real reason why things go wrong is because of YOU!"

Lucy: You heard it here, folks. Lincoln is confirmed to be literally Satan.

Leni: So LINCOLN is who you pray to every night! Ahh, I understand now.

Lola: Lincoln apparently creates all of the other problems across the globe, too.

Lisa: Stockmarket crashes!

Luan: Electing Donald Trump as president!

Luna: Chik Fil A's anti-LGBT views!

Lana: 7 Eleven!

Lori: I think you meant 9/11, Lana.

Lana: No, I mean 7 Eleven. Their overpriced Slurpees blow monkey chunks.

Lola adds, "YEAH! Every time you ALWAYS RUIN EVERYTHING!"

''"No wonder we were always fighting each other, Bro!" Lynn Jr. says in response to what Lori and Lola shouted.''

Lincoln: I know I screwed up a lot, and sometimes still do, but isn't that a little... much to say?

Lori: Yeah, and I can say for sure that we have caused some of those screw-ups too, or at least played a part in it.

Leni: Even now, I still can't believe that that entire fight was over a dress. Although... I never did get to wear that dress.

Lori: I already told you, Leni. I get it on the days that end in -y, and you get it on the rest.

[Lisa opens her mouth to say something, but Lincoln puts his hand over it.]

Lincoln: That's enough, we don't want to start fighting again. Let's just continue, alright?

[Lisa shoots Lincoln a death glare but says nothing]

''Lincoln was at a loss for words. Sure, there have been moments when he made huge mistakes, such as filming a large portion of his sisters doing embarassing things and then uploading the edited video on the internet in an attempt to win a trophy, when he stole Lynn's bike and...''

Lucy: Alright, I'll do the audience a favor by giving this part a fast forward.

[Lucy clicks the fast forward button on a remote that speeds the story up.]

Lucy: Blah, blah, blah, a bunch of other incidents that Lincoln messed up on. It just forms a tedious, hard to read wall of text.

"But, don't I always make up for my actions? I mean I DID stay out of your next big argument-," but Lincoln gets interrupted by Lori.

''"That's not the point, twerp! It's ALWAYS your fault!" The majority of the sisters (while some didn't really say much and Lincoln couldn't exactly tell who held their tongue for some reason) shouted, "YEAH!" Some, even yelling, "You tell him, Lori!" The oldest sisters continues, "We HATE dealing with you EVERY DAY like this! When will you learn not to constantly mess things up!?"''

Lori: [winces] Uh, Lincoln, you do know that I'd neve-

Lincoln: Yes, Lori, I know.

Lori: [smiles] Good. I was just making sure.

''It was at that moment when Lincoln's fear suddenly, yet gradually, changed into a rebellious form of anger. The white-haired boy did what he could to hide this but he's obviously starting to lose it himself. So he quickly raises his hand as a sign to stop his sisters from ranting at him.''

''"You know what? I think I need to be alone... Not because I have to, but because I WANT TO," Lincoln said. He turns around and continues his way towards the stairs as the sisters watched in silence and disbelief. Then, Lynn Jr. emerged from the crowd and grabbed Lincoln's shoulder.''

''"HOLD IT, Linc! You think you can just give us the 'talk-to-the-hand' thing and walk away like it's nothing?!" Lynn Jr. asked in hostility.''

Lynn: Uh... he just did...

''The last thing Lincoln wanted to do was shout back, since he knew that would further escalate the current situation. His mind was telling him to ignore his sisters and keep going until he enters his room, but his gut has been getting him to shout back and start a fight... And Lincoln did just that.''

"Yes, Lynn... YES I CAN! Now get your hands OFF ME ALREADY!"

''The volume of Lincoln's yelling caught the sisters off guard. They knew Lincoln would get rather annoyed by what they were currently doing to him, but to think he'd react in that kind of a snappy manner. But it doesn't stop there, as it turns out Rita(Mom) and Lynn Sr.(Dad) heard this as well.''

Lisa: I love how they felt the need to specify that Rita was our mother and Lynn Sr. was our father. As though that wasn't already implied.

''"Lincoln? Could you come down here please?" Rita called from downstairs. Lincoln did not want to head back, but knowing that disobeying them would get him into more trouble than he already is (with his sisters at least), he obliges and makes his way to the parents' room. The sisters watch out of levity and disregard for their only brother.''

''"Ha! Looks like Lincoln's finally getting what he deserved after so long!" Lola says triumphantly.''

Lincoln: What, you mean getting in trouble with my parents? That's happened plenty of times before.

''The sisters laughter can be heard, but Lincoln ignores this as he reenters his parents' room. He closes the door and turns to look at them.''

''"Look, son," Lynn Sr. said. "We know how frustrated you are about this whole ordeal and how things can get around the Loud House."''

Some shred of hope seems to have awakened inside of Lincoln, as he proceeds to say something but he gets cut off.

''"Though, at the same time," Rita added. "The way you shouted at your sisters wasn't any better either."''

Lola: Okay, it's official—Mom and Dad are singling out Lincoln on purpose. I mean, not that I mind not getting in trouble or anything, but my point still stands.

Lisa: Either that or they've both been infected with selective deafness that conveniently blocks out the abominable malice of any individual with two X chromosomes. An interesting topic for future research, indeed.

''That had to be it. That was the thing that caused that shred of hope to just wither away into nothingness on the inside. Lincoln then looked down steadily as the parents continued talking.''

''"Just because they get on your bad side from time to time, doesn't mean you should either," Rita said. "And by the looks of it, you look like you're about to lose control of your anger."''

''It's true. It's because of that confrontation with the sisters that's causing Lincoln's stress levels to rise and erupt like a volcano spewing out lava. It's bad enough he was having to deal with his sisters pushing him around, teasing him, and doing all sorts of awful things to their only brother. But now Lincoln is getting close to his boiling point, and the parents were able to see this.''

Lynn: Y'know, if this guy's just gonna waste our time pointing out the obvious, he might as well go all the way and point out everything else that we already know.

Luan: Like how he likes to read comic books in his underwear.

Lana: Or that he has buck teeth.

Lily: Gah bah yanna naba ooyu pa. [Or that he makes a really funny face whenever he changes my diaper.]

Leni: [reaches over and gives Lincoln's hair a light ruffle as Lincoln squirms] Or that he's such a wittle cutie pie that I just wanna eat up!

Lola: [perks up] Oh, oh, are we doing this again?!

Lincoln: [frowns] No. We are most definitely not doing this again.

''[Lola's eyes begin to water as she gives Lincoln her biggest puppy dog eyes. Lincoln groans in defeat as he rubs the bridge of his nose with his fingers.]''

Lincoln: Okay, okay, fiiiiiiine. But later, okay? After the story.

Lola: Yaaaaaay!

"So, your Mother and I decided that you shouldn't say anything to your sisters for the time being," Lynn Sr. said, as he continues, "And we'll make sure that they don't get in your way either."

''The white-haired boy is unsure of what to make of this. Is this supposed to be punishment? Or safety precautions? It also didn't make sense to Lincoln as to why they're deciding on this NOW of all times, especially since this could have been done DURING the DEFCON situation. Either way, Lincoln figured he should accept the parents' decision while he still can.''

"Alright Mom, Dad," Lincoln answered.

"However," Rita says, "make sure you don't lose control of your anger, or you'll be in more trouble than your sisters are about to be."

Lori: [as Rita] "You see, son, it's important to realize that being a boy inherently makes you inferior to girls. Therefore, while you have to walk on eggshells and keep your nose clean by any means necessary to avoid our misandrous prejudice, your sisters get to run roughshod to the extreme and only get a slap on the wrist, at best. It's not your fault you didn't come out the right way. We still love you. Just not as much as your sisters."

[Everyone else gives Lori bewildered looks]

Lori: What? Don't tell me you all can't read between the lines and see that attitude for yourselves. It's literally right in front of our faces.

Lana: Hold on. What's "misandrous" mean?

Lisa: It's an adjectival form of the word "misandry", which is the hatred of men.

Lana: What? Why would anyone wanna hate men? That's so stupid.

Lisa: I'm sure plenty of "well-informed" Tumblrinas would be more than happy to impart their "wisdom" upon you.

Lana: What's a "Tumblrina"?

Lori: Trust me, Lana, you're better off not knowing.

Leni: Seriously.

''Lincoln begrudgingly accepts their decision and exits the door. As with his earlier attempt to go upstairs into his room, he slowly drags his feet across the floor in frustration. The sisters (who are still present) continue to taunt Lincoln, but he makes sure not to respond to them.''

''"Ignore them Lincoln," he thinks to himself. "They're not worth the trouble. Just keep going and you'll be fine."''

The sisters continued on as they chanted in a mocking way, "Lincoln's in trouble!"

''Suddenly, one of the sisters, Luna, stops in her tracks and comes to a realization... A realization that's long over due.''

"Wait, dudes," Luna says, as she continues, "don't you think we're going a bit too far with this?"

Lori: And this again. Luna is the good sister and we all are the evil...

Luna: Don't judge me! Judge the author, sis!

''"What are you talking about?" asked Lola. "He's the one who ALWAYS ruins everything."''

Luna responds, "Actually, Lincoln doesn't always ruin everything..."

''This definitely caught Lincoln's attention as he stops walking. Luna is supposedly one of the sisters Lincoln is closest to, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be entirely true. There have been times when Luna herself became and/or acted just as badly as the rest of the sisters whenever scenarios like this came up. What's a tad more concerning is that Luna, just like the others, somehow (and almost always) usually get off scot-free. He slowly turns around and glares at Luna and then speaks.''

"So Luna... You're only realizing this JUST NOW!? And I thought LENI was supposed to be the dumb one!"

Leni: HEY!

''"HEY!" Leni yells back, offended by Lincoln's words.''

Leni: ...is there an echo in here?

''Luna was also just as offended, but she didn't dare talk back at him. Rita and Lynn Sr. heard this from downstairs, but this time they decide to go up the stairs towards Lincoln and the sisters.''

''"Lincoln Loud, what did we just discuss?" Rita asked her son. "Looks like we're going to have to make it so that you DON'T yell at your sisters."''

"Yeah, but come on Mom! They were-" Lincoln says in protest, but once again he's interrupted.

''"Lincoln, we're very serious about this issue," Lynn Sr. added. "Consider this as Strike One. Two more Strikes, and you will REALLY be in big trouble."''

Luan: [As Lynn Sr.] "No bowling for a month, now! Ya hear, boy?"

[Everyone else except Luan groans.]

Luan: I wonder, if Lincoln gets punished during this month, does he have to eat a TURKEY dinner? Will Lincoln have leftovers to SPARE for us?

Lincoln: Ugh. Luan, honey, why don't you SPARE us from these crummy jokes?

''Lincoln could not believe what he was being told. It's bad enough he's being forced to take the blame for his sisters' actions, but now they're making it that he can't yell at them? This is definitely confusing: first they tell him he can't talk to them and now he's being told not to yell? As these thoughts rage on in his mind, Lincoln's face turns red but he makes sure not to argue with his parents.''

''"Okay, fine," Lincoln answered. "I'll try to get some anger management... But can I at least talk to SOMEONE about this to let off some steam? Please?"''

After a brief moment of silence, Rita answers, "alright, Lincoln. Just be sure to stay calm."

''Lincoln decides to go in the opposite direction. Instead of going to his room, he goes outside to pay a visit to his best friend, Clyde McBride. Rita and Lynn Sr. then turn their attention to the girls with a stern look on their faces.''

''"Girls," Lynn Sr. said. "We need to talk..."''

Lincoln: You know, I think now would be a good time to bring up something that I've been expecting to happen for a while now. [looks down at Lisa] Hey, Lisa?

Lisa: Yes?

Lincoln: How come you haven't pointed out any of the grammar errors? There's been plenty of them.

Lisa: Ah, an excellent question. Allow me to elaborate. [clears throat] You see, it's been brought to my attention, by the viewers of this series, that I've been rather...nettlesome with my commentary, specifically pertaining to pointing out improper grammar. So, in order to rectify the problem, I've been making a conscious effort to avoid calling out the numerous grammar errors that this story has been plagued with thus far. [right eye twitches]

Leni: Awwwww, how sweet of you, Lisa! I'm so proud of you!

Lisa: [smiles] Why, thank you. It does require some mental discipline, but it's nothing that I'm unable to-

Leni: I mean, all those tense changes must, like, really bother you.

Lisa: [left eye twitches] Well, I-

Leni: And, boy, I lost track of how many punctuation mistakes I saw.

''[Lisa's teeth clench together as her hands ball up into fists. The eye twitching continues.]''

Lana: [notices Lisa] Uh, Leni, don't you think you shoul-

Leni: And don't even get me started on those-

Lisa: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[Lisa dashes away, running up the stairs in the blink of an eye.]

Leni: What? Was it something I said?

Lynn: Ya think?

Lincoln: Well, I guess I should go up there and check on he- ''[A loud, house-shaking explosion cuts him off. Seconds later, Lisa comes back down, her clothes, glasses, and hair slightly disheveled and sooty from smoke]''

Lori: So... care to tell us what that was that all about, Lisa?

Lisa: [sits back down in her spot and sighs happily] That, eldest sibling, was the therapeutic effects of explosive chemicals. I think I should be okay to proceed from this point forward.

Elsewhere, we see Lincoln laying on the same trundle bed he was on during his last visit at Clyde's. The white-haired boy was visibly red at first, but as the conversation goes on the anger dies down a little.

"... And next thing I know, I'M the one who's getting the warnings! Me! Not my sisters! Just me!"

''Clyde, (who's sitting on a chair across from Lincoln's right) took his time to think about Lincoln's current predicament before giving his thoughts. Since he's had several visits to his therapist, Dr. Lopez, Clyde has picked up on various skills that should be helpful in personal (or situational) conflicts. Therefore, he does what he can to help his best friend.''

''"Wow, Lincoln. I'm sorry things are getting as bad as they seem," Clyde said. "Maybe you should try counting to ten? Or going out for long walks to clear your mind. Didn't you tell me that your parents are going to sort this out with your sisters?"''

Leni: Or how about naming all forty states? That always works for me.

Lisa: Leni, we're going to have a lengthy discussion about America's actual number of states after this episode is finished.

''"Yeah, they did," Lincoln answered. "But I dunno. I highly doubt it'll get anywhere to be honest. I mean, just when I thought I've gotten used to it all, everything will go downhill again!" As he says this his face once again turns red, but this immediately stops when Clyde replies to him.''

"Lincoln, maybe letting your parents handling your sisters might actually work. And try giving them some space while you're at it. Who knows? Maybe things will go back to normal after a while."

''Although Clyde isn't an actual mediator or a professional therapist himself, he did have a valid point. Perhaps Lincoln taking some time to calm down and keeping to himself for a long time could prove to be useful. Lincoln relaxes on the trundle bed and then gets up to face Clyde.''

"Alright, Clyde. I think I'm gonna head out and just go home for now. Thanks for the talk I guess," Lincoln said.

"No problem, buddy," Clyde answered.

''A little after the discussion, Lincoln walks back to his house... Only to find that the exterior of the Family Van (which is affectionately called "Vanzilla") has been excessively scratched. He stands there speechless with some form of slight anger reappearing on his face.''

Lisa: Again, why did they feel the need to specify that the van is called Vanzilla? We already know that, and it isn't relevant to the story.

Then Lola walks out of the house to go drive around in her princess car and sees both Lincoln and the scratched van.

''"You scratched the van!?" Lola asked out of shock at Lincoln. He doesn't want to answer, but he replied, "I didn't- I just got back from-."''

Before Lincoln can finish, Lola shouts at the top of her lungs, "MOM! DAD! Lincoln scratched the family van!"

Even though Lola called out for the parents, instead (and much to Lincoln's dismay) the rest of the sisters exit the house to look at the damages on the car.

''"Typical!" Lori says in protest. "You couldn't stop at messing up our arguments, could you?!"''

Luan adds, "talk about van-dalism! Hahahahahahaha! But seriously, what the heck Lincoln!?"

Luan: [laughs] Okay, the Luan in this story may be a jerk, but at least she knows a good pun.

Lori: [smirks] I agree. It'd be nice to hear one from you for a change.

''"Wow, you really do mess things up ALL the time!" Lana said.''

As the sisters continue to chastise and accuse Lincoln, the white-haired boy tries to remain calm as he counts to ten in his mind.

"One... Two... Three... Four..."

''During all this, Lincoln slowly opens his eyes and notices at least one or two sisters were not saying anything as they looked at Lincoln out of concern. They were visibly upset at what they saw, but they're not as hostile or angered about it.''

"Lincoln... Did you really do this to the car?"

Lincoln couldn't tell if it was Luna, or Lucy who asked this question, but he didn't seem to care.

Lincoln: Uh...no. I'm pretty sure I can tell my own sisters apart with their voices.

[Beat]

Lincoln:Well, except for that one time when Lola tricked me into telling Dad to save Lana's piece of his cherry pie for her. But then again, she does a pretty wicked Lana impression.

Lola: [as Lana] Thanks, Linc!

His eyes soon opened to reveal that his eyes are turning red as well as the veins (or arteries) become visible.

''"RRRRRGGGGGGHHHH GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Lincoln screamed at the top of his lungs. The sisters immediately stop talking at once and take several quick steps back. Shocked at their brother's sudden outburst, the sisters have made no further attempts to say anything.''

"LINCOLN LOUD!"

''Lincoln turned around to face his parents, who are not pleased with what he did. At the same time, however, they are taken aback at Lincoln's red blood-shot eyes. Then Lynn Sr. clears his throat and begins talking.''

"Son, we warned you. That's Strike Two now. Not only that, but you did all THIS to our van?"

Lincoln scoffed as he replies, "But I didn't do anything! I was just on my way back from Clyde's and the van was already like this!"

"I'm sorry, Lincoln, but you know what happens when it's three strikes," Rita replied.

''"I know I know, I'm gonna get grounded for a week? Two weeks? Or more?," Lincoln said. "But really, I didn't scratch the van!"''

"That's enough Lincoln. We don't want to hear anymore."

Luan: Oh, well in that case…

[She picks up a megaphone, turns it on, and screams into it.]

Luan: I THINK I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOU!

Lori: Turn that dang thing off, Luan. It's hurting MY ears.

Luan: WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU-

[Lori grabs the megaphone out of Luan's hand, throws it on the ground, and smashes it into pieces with her ballet flats.]

Luan: Aww, man! That cost me a week's worth of allowance!

"If you cause any more damages OR if you yell at your sisters again, you will be grounded for a month," Lynn Sr. told him.

''Lincoln was left flabbergasted at what he was told, as the parents go back inside the house. The sisters decide to leave as well, only for Lori to notice her boyfriend Bobby and Ronnie Anne (Bobby's little sister) not only got here but they witnessed the scene.''

''"Uh-oh," Lori finally said. "I forgot Bobby-Boo-Boo-Bear was going to have Ronnie Anne stay out our house for some time while he and his parents went off to work...!"''

''"Babe?" Bobby was about to ask as he walked towards Lori.''

''"Hey, listen, I'll explain everything that happened after you're done working..." Lori said as she glared at Lincoln, who happened to be standing there with his face slowly turning red once more (and his eyes are getting like that as well).''

Lori adds, "We'll keep Ronnie Anne away from Lincoln."

Lincoln: Why? She knows more bad words than me.

"No... It's fine," Ronnie Anne replied.

''Bobby decided not to pressure the subject as he left for work, while the sisters head back inside the house. Thus, leaving Lincoln and Ronnie Anne outside. Even though she's still outside with him, that didn't stop Lincoln from jumping several times while grunting. He didn't care as to whether he should be embarassed about the Santiago kids witnessing a bit of a dilema or not, because he's seething with frustration and anger.''

''For once, Ronnie Anne was getting slightly intimidated by Lincoln's current demeanor. Usually this wouldn't phase her as much as it did now. She has seen moments where Lincoln was upset with his sisters or bothered by something else entirely different. This time, however, it's as clear as day. Ronnie Anne has never seen her sort-of-boyfriend this agitated to such an extreme before.''

Luan: Awwwwwwww. You hear that, Linky? [reaches over and pinches Lincoln's cheek] Your girlfriend's all concerned about you. I knew she was a keeper.

[The other sisters giggle.]

Lincoln: [swats Luan's hands away] Well, I'm concerned about how deaf all of you seem to be every time I keep telling you guys that Ronnie Anne's not my girlfriend. Besides, she's concerned because of me, not about me.

Luan: Semantics.

Lucy: Sigh. A lover in denial never fails to be one of life's biggest tragedies.

''"Um, Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne says as she tries to get his attention. Lincoln turns around and sees her with his blood-shot eyes and red face.''

''"Have you tried counting? More than ten, at least?" she asked. The white-haired boy recalls from earlier his conversation with Clyde and how he recommended similar activities. He fumes in response by breathing out through his nostrils like an angry bull. Obviously, this wasn't directed at Ronnie Anne, but she could tell her question didn't seem to help.''

''"Maybe you should count to fifty. Or a hundred even." Lincoln briefly turns away as she asks, "Want me to go with you while walking around in the park?" Lincoln decides to continue counting from earlier with Ronnie Anne accompanying him to Ketchum Park.''

"... Five, six, seven, eight, nine..."

Lori: [quirks her eyebrow and smirks] Oh yeah? If she's not your girlfriend, then how come you're going on a date with her in the park?

Leni: He's even counting down the seconds that he's with her! [sighs dreamily] So romantic!

Lincoln: [facepalms] At this rate, I might need to start counting soon.

''Later, the young couple returns from Ketchum Park as Lincoln's still counting. Taking Ronnie Anne's suggestion, he chose to count to a hundred (which he's not done with). With his face no longer red, and his eyes showing less veins (or arteries), Lincoln as seemingly calmed down at last.''

"Seventy-Seven, Seventy-Eight, Seventy-Nine, Eighty, Eighty-One, Eighty-Two..."

"Glad to see this is working out for you," Ronnie Anne said as she makes a small smile.

Luna: Hold on a sec. How can they be out of the park that quickly?

Luan: What'd you mean?

Luna: Well, it looks like Lincoln's taking about a second to count between each number, right? He left the house at "five", and he was out of the park by at least "seventy-seven". That's, at most, just a little over a minute to leave the house, enter the park, and then come back. On foot. Plus, since the story said that Lincoln wasn't done counting to one hundred yet, that means that he wasn't doing it over and over again since he left the house.

Lola: Hey, yeah! That doesn't make any sense at all!

As the two reenter the Loud House, Ronnie Anne notices Lincoln's face turning red once again as they see Lola, Lana, and Lynn Jr. The three sisters are not only dressing themselves up as Lincoln (wearing orange polo shirts, blue jeans, white sports shoes with three red stripes, and to top it off, a white wig), but they're also mocking his behavior by acting like him in some way.

Lola: Ok, hold the phone, absolutely not! I would never, EVER stoop so low as to wear icky boy's clothes! Who knows where they've been?! [Notices Lincoln looking deadpan at her] …sorry, Big Brother, but even I can't make orange look good.

Lincoln: [Smirks] well, not everyone's as gifted as I am.

Lynn: Oh yeah, it's a real gift to be the geek in the polo.

Lincoln: …it is when I'M doing it.

''"How'd I do?" Lana asks.''

''"That's not Lincoln, Lana," Lola answered. "This is!" The young pageant queen gets into position as Lana sits back down on the couch.  "DURR I'm Lincoln Loud! I have no class and no dignity! I pick my nose WAY MOAR than Lana, and I like to mess everything up and pretend to be the precious little angel when I'm NAWT! I'm just a stupid typical boy who reads comics in his undies! Even though I'm eleven-years-old, I still sleep with dollies, like dumb 'ol Bun-Bun," Lola acted out. ''

Lincoln: Okay, first of all, that's not me. I do not pick my nose.

Lana: Whatcha talkin' about? Yeah, you do.

Lincoln: I absolutely do not.

Luna: I've seen you do it, bro.

Lynn: I can pick my nose with my big toe.

[Lana's eyes light up as she turns to her]

Lana: Yea? Cool!

Lynn:I could teach you how, if you want.

''[Lola looks on at them, very clearly grossed out. Lincoln simply rolls his eyes.]''

Lincoln: And second of all, Ronnie Anne is not my girlfriend!

Lori: Oh please, we all know she literally is. Besides, you two are adorable together!

Lincoln: [crosses arms] Well, then, that's just too bad, because we're just friends!

Lola: [snickers] Whatever you say.

Lana and Lynn Jr. end up laughing at Lola's 'performance,' only to finally realize Lincoln and Ronnie Anne saw what they were doing.

"... Eighty-Three, Eighty-Four, Eighty Five, Eighty-Six..."

''The three sisters notice Lincoln's attempt at counting, but they seem to misinterpret why he's counting. Whether they realize it or not, they're about to make it worse.''

''"Um, what are you doing?" Lynn Jr. asked in confusion. Lincoln doesn't answer as he closes his eyes in an attempt to not look at his sisters.''

''"Let's see what happens if he gets to a hundred," Lola suggests. Lana and Lynn Jr. agree to this as they start counting too.''

"Eighty-Seven, Eighty-Eight, Eighty-Nine, Ninety, Ninety-One..."

''Lincoln immediately stops as his eyes immediately open (and once again, they turned red too). He storms his way past Lucy, who was on her way to check on her fake blood that's in the kitchen. The sound of Lincoln's bedroom door slamming can be heard, shocking the young goth. If that wasn't enough, Lucy then notices what the twins and the sports girl were doing in Lincoln's clothes.''

Lynn: Apparently, my name is "The Sports Girl" now! It's just "The Sports Girl"!

Disturbed and upset, she tries to talk, but Ronnie Anne speaks first.

"Really, you guys? REALLY?"

''"How long have you been doing that?" Lucy finally asked.''

''Upstairs in his room, Lincoln can be seen angrily pacing in circles in his bedroom. He then digs through his belongings in his desk drawers. He rapidly gets his stuff together and stuffs them into suit-case. Just then gets interrupted by Ronnie Anne, who walks in and attempts to get him to calm down.''

''"Whoa, you're not serious about running away, are you?" She asks out of shock and confusion. Lincoln takes some time to think about her question. Would it really be okay for him to just run away and never return?''

Lori: No; that would definitely not be okay. Running away wouldn't solve your problem.

''Running away from home could lead to some bad possibilities, but Lincoln is too angered to think about the details. Fortunately, he complies to his sort-of-girlfriend's words and unpacks his suitcase. The young couple then walk in the halls and when they reach the bathroom, Ronnie Anne allows Lincoln to go in alone. Then, Luan pops her head out of her and Luna's room.''

''"He better not clog the toilet again!" Luan calls out. Before Ronnie Anne can say anything in response, a very muffled, yet audible scream can be heard from within the bathroom. The girl then gives Luan a very stern look of disapproval.''

''"What? What did I say?" Luan asked.''

Luna: He's probably mad because you said it to the wrong person. [looks at Lynn] Lincoln's toilet clogging days may be over, but Lynn's certainly aren't.

Lynn: You act like I do it on purpose. It's not my fault that the toilet can't handle my-

Lori: That sentence does not need to be finished.

''Inside the bathroom, Lincoln looks at himself in the mirror as he continuously splashes himself with the water from the sink. He's still red in both his face and his eyes, showing that his stress has gone to newer and higher levels he thought would have never existed.''

''"Get ahold of yourself, Lincoln," he thinks to himself. "The good thing about all this is that you've got Ronnie Anne on your side..."''

''The bathroom door bursts open, surprising both Ronnie Anne and Luan. Lincoln storms out of the bathroom and towards his room, seething with the adrenaline that has begun to clash with his stress.''

''"Lincoln? Are you doing okay?" Ronnie Anne asks out of concern. She slowly follows him.''

"I'm fine! FINE!"

Clearly, he's not fine at ALL.

Lincoln: Clearly, this writer thinks we can't figure that out for ourselves.

As the two walk closer to the stairs, they hear something from downstairs.

"Lincoln? Come down here, this instant!"

''It was Rita calling out to her son. Lincoln begrudgingly obliges as he heads down to the living room. Ronnie Anne reluctantly follows from behind. They finally make it downstairs, only to find that the flat-screen T.V. had a very large crack on it.''

''"Lincoln, why did you break our T.V.!? I get you're having a bad day, but that's no excuse to go breaking our household items!" Rita said to Lincoln.''

Lincoln: I don't get it... why should it be me every time, when something is broken here?! Lynn could do it too.

Lisa: Oh, what will our parental units blame him for next? The rabid political divide that only serves to sow discord in our nation? The ongoing tension between Israel and Palestine? Or perhaps the controversy surrounding the #MeToo movement, namely from those who wish to overblow their victimhood at the cost of other people's careers? Only time will tell.

Luna: [tugs on shirt collar] Uhhhhhh, dude? I don't think you should've brought those issues up. This isn't the time to be hashing stuff like that out.

Lisa: [rolls eyes] I fail to see what's so wrong about mentioning the relevant, hot button topics that affect our world today.

Lori: I'm with Luna. You could seriously offend someone by bringing stuff like that up, especially in a place where it doesn't belong. I think it'd be best if you apologized.

Lisa: Aw, phooey to your trepidation. I, for one, refuse to concede to your appeal to needless censorship. Besides, it's not like anything's going to happe-

''On behalf of all of us here at "Peeking Through the Fourth Wall", we would like to issue a public apology for the offensive comments made by Lisa Marie Loud. We promise that Ms. Loud's statements do no reflect the integrity of our program nor the individuals who work behind the scenes to ensure steady, quality content. As a result of her brazen refusal to apologize, we have punished Ms. Loud with the appropriate retribution.''

...

The time-out corner.

...

For five minutes.

...

With no potty breaks.

''Thank you for patience and understanding. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the episode.''

Then, she got a good look at his face and became surprised.

"Lincoln?"

''At this point, Lincoln was not seeing just your average everyday type of red. He's not even seeing the type of red that any bull would see. No. He's seeing bloody-red. Bloody-Red that represents Pure Rage Incarnate. The white-haired boy can only assume that his sisters have wrongly accused him for breaking something again. Without ANY SOLID PROOF.''

Lincoln: Either that or Mom and Dad just assumed it was me without needing my sisters doing anything. It's honestly just as believable either way.

Luan: What about liquid proof? Would that've been better? [laughs]

''Ronnie Anne tries to reach out for Lincoln, but the boy steps away from her. He clenches his fists onto his hair out of frustration as he falls to his knees and holds back his tears. These tears are not out of sadness, but obviously from anger.''

"RRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH...!"

''He crouches down to where his elbows touch the carpet floor, all while his face turning even more red than ever. Rita also reaches out for her son, but ends up having second thoughts about doing so. Now she herself doesn't know whether to be just as upset or to be greatly intimidated and worried for her son.''

Lincoln thinks to himself, "WHY!? WHY IS IT THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS IN TROUBLE! WHY AM I THE PUNCHING BAG OF THIS FAMILY!? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS!?"

Luan: Ugh, can I get some cheese to go with all the whine we're getting?

Lori: Tell me about it.

Luna: I mean, he's not really wrong, though. All we've been doing is working him up while Mom and Dad never point the finger in any direction but his. I'd be pretty mad, too.

Lori: [sighs] True. I guess I've just grown a little numb to these stories always making it seem like we have it out for our brother.

Lincoln: That goes double for me.

Lynn Sr. and the rest of the sisters arrive and witness Lincoln suffering from the excessive stress and adrenaline.

''"What's going on with Linky?" Leni asked.''

''"Keep... It... Together... Lincoln..." he says to himself.''

''Finally, Rita regains a bit of her composure, steps forward, and touches Lincoln's forehead. The heat, the stress, the adrenaline circulating in his body is enough for the Mother to pull her hand back. She was not expecting Lincoln to be suffering THIS BADLY.''

''There have been stories where incredibly angry kids have suffered due to stress and abuse. Heck, even Lola has her moments of screaming at the top of her lungs and throwing some tantrums due to her temper. But never before, has ANYONE witnessed such sheer force of fury all compiled into a kid who was once caring, fun-loving, and charismatic. Strangely, Lincoln still holds it all in despite the current circumstances.''

Lincoln: Oh, again with the "abuse" talk… how miserable do these writers think I am? …I don't usually get THAT mad, do I?

Luna: Nah, bro. Yeah you get stressed in the head, but you keep it under control – a little high, a little low.

Lola: If you ever DID lose it like that, it wouldn't be pretty… [Curls into a ball] I still remember one of the LAST fics where you got this scary.

"Okay, Not even Lola gets that mad," Lori finally said.

Lola then adds, "It's true...!"

Lana: [to the camera] Oh, please. You think Linc's been mad in this story? You haven't seen mad until you've caught Lola on a bad day. One time, Izzy accidentally knocked over her bottle of nail polish, and she got so mad that she ran outside and threw a tantrum in the front lawn for nearly half an hour.

Lola: Whatever. Just be glad I took it out on the grass and not on your dumb lizard.

''The sisters are becoming disturbed, afraid, and worried. Seeing their only brother like this was completely new to them.''

''"Can someone tell us why he's doing that?!" Leni asked out of concern and fear.''

''"I-I don't know!" Lynn Sr. answered. "I've never seen any kid hold in that much anger before!"''

''"W-Why would h-he do that?!" Lana also asked.''

Lincoln: What kind of question is that? The story told us earlier that they were trying to annoy me on purpose. You'd think that at least one of them would expect me to act like this at some point.

''The sisters begin to talk amongst themselves due to the confusion and the current circumstances. Ronnie Anne couldn't take it anymore and she finally shouts, "QUIET!"''

The sisters and the parents look at Ronnie Anne.

"Can't you see? He's doing this because of you! He's done everything he can to stay calm and out of trouble, but you guys can't stop messing him up, can you?!"

After a moment of silence (okay it's not really silence, considering Lincoln's still on his knees and elbows breathing heavily while going red with anger), Luna finally steps forward and speaks.

"Dudes, Ronnie's right! We've done some really nasty things to him! Luan's Pranksgiving, Lisa's dangerous experiments, the super-market incident, the fighting, the humiliations, the blaming, ALL OF THEM! That last one too, since that's what we were doing to him all day!"

Lola asks, "So what?"

Lincoln: Sounds just like Lola to me.

[Lola glares at Lincoln]

Lincoln: [shrugs] Don't think I forgot about how you dissed my fashion sense. You're not the only one who likes getting even.

Luna, flabbergasted at what Lola just said, slowly looks down at her and says, "'So what?' DO YOU NOT SEE THE WAY WE'VE BEEN TREATING HIM!? All that we've done to our only bro... It's eating him alive from the inside!"

''"But that literally doesn't answer Lola's question," Lori stated. "Why is Lincoln bottling up so much of his emotions if we're the cause of all his stress and anger?"''

Lisa finally spoke up.

"I think I may have a theory. It's very likely that due to our reckless actions towards our male sibling unit, our parental units believed that Lincoln should keep his emotions in check for a specific amount of time. Unfortunately that method proved to be futile as it had the opposite effect."

Lisa: [from upstairs] That is not what a theory is! That was a hypothesis!

Lana: Wait, how's she able to see the story from all the way upstairs?

Luna: And even if she was using her phone or computer in the time-out corner to read the story, how would she even know what part we're on?

Lincoln: If this show has taught us anything, it's that Lisa can do the impossible if it means there's something for her to correct.

Lisa then turns to face Rita and Lynn Sr. and says, "forcing Lincoln against his will to keep his emotions confined to himself, ESPECIALLY when our aforementioned actions finally caught up to him, was not a wise decision."

''"But Lisa!" Lynn Sr. said. "We just wanted to stop you kids from fighting each other so much!"''

Lynn: You've got eleven kids, and at least two of them have the temper of a tasmanian devil! How can you not expect fighting every now and then?!

Leni: Hey, tasmanian devils aren't all bad. Some of them just wanna spin around and slobber without a care in the world.

Lana: [looks up at Leni] After Lisa's done teaching you about the states, we're gonna have to have some one-on-one time with some nature documentaries.

''Ronnie Anne could not just standby and watch as this familly feud went on. Yes, she's not really in any position to speak her mind here, but something needed to be said right here, and right now.''

''"Mr. and Mrs. Loud? Lisa has a point. He HAS to let that anger go somehow. Everything else he did failed, and we all know why..." she said as she gives a small glare at the majority of the Loud Sisters.''

"Loud Sisters, I think you know what needs to be done. He's gonna have to yell at you guys..."

Rita shouts, "Ronnie Anne, you can't be serious!"

''"What else is there to accomplish? It's just like what she said, Lincoln needs to expell all of his negative emotions by yelling at us!" Lisa confirmed.''

''The parents are now torn by the choices that need to be made. Either they keep Lincoln from yelling at his sisters and witness him suffer huge amounts of health issues due to stress, or allow him to do so which would most likely lead to very similar results.''

''Lincoln: So, the only options are to either do the one thing that's proven to be a problem for me or bank on the opposite thing that has no real reason to not be considered worth a shot? Gee, talk about a conflict.''

They then look at their only son, Lincoln, who's now struggling to hold his tongue while he's still on his knees and elbows.

''"Honey...?" Lynn Sr. asked.''

''"We have no other choice..." Rita answered.''

They both turn their attention to Lincoln, but not without looking at their daughters.

''"Make sure he let's us have it," Lori said. "It's for the good of the family. We deserve it after all that we've done to him... Right girls?"''

''"Yeah..." the Loud Sisters speak in unision.''

''"Anything to get our Linky back!" Leni said.''

"Even if it means Lincoln will hurt us more than he'll be hurting himself," Lynn Jr. confirmed.

"Either way will have to do," Lana added.

''Indeed, this is quite a rare ocassion. Of course the parents would never allow their kids to yell at one another.''

Everyone but Lily: Yeah, right!

[Lily blows a raspberry]

''Especially since they tend to get into fights almost every once in a while. Yet it has to be done. With no other options left (considering they turned out to be failures), the sisters were ready to face the music. As much as they were afraid for their brother to unleash his fury upon them, they knew they had to take it in for their own horrible wrong-doings. It was now, or never. The parents have made their final decision, despite the consequences. If Lincoln does not vent out his anger, frustrations, and stress, his health will most definitely be affected in the worst ways imagineable.''

(Of course they're going to get Lily out of the way. She's only a baby, after all. That doesn't mean the youngest sibling won't be a witness to what is about to unfold.)

''"Lincoln?" Rita finally spoke to her son with a strong sign of reluctance. "I can't believe we're about to let this happen but..."''

Lincoln: You know, you characters are such idiots that I CAN believe that this would happen here.

"...Yell at your sisters Lincoln! You've done everything you could to keep your temper under control, but to no avail!"

''"We would never condone this in any other circumstance," Lynn Sr. added. "But please! Let it all out, son! We'd rather keep all of our kids together and healthy, than forcing your stress to ruin your health!"''

Lincoln finally managed to utter an actual sentence after listening to his parents.

"B-But if I yell at my sisters... You'll get me grounded...!"

''"Forget about what Mom and Dad said, Bro!" Luna yelled out.''

''"We're prepared to receive what is quite possibly our largest form of comeuppance Royal Woods has ever witnessed!" Lisa says in response.''

Luna: You sure about that? I mean, I know Royal Woods has a pretty low crime rate, but I'm pretty sure there are a few petty crooks out there that haven't been caught by the police yet. I think bringing them to justice would be way better comeuppance than this.

''[Just then, everyone hears the sound of footsteps scrambling down the stairs. As it turns out, it's none other than Lisa.]''

Lincoln: Has it been five minutes already?

[Lisa says nothing, going back to her spot in front of the couch without another word.]

Luan: Hey, is she gonna be okay?

Lisa: I'd rather we move past the indignity I had to suffer and continue with the episode, please.

Lori: Um, sure. We can do that.

Lynn Sr. proceeds with saying, "Listen to us, son! If you don't yell at your sisters..."

Rita then speaks in unision with her husband, "You will be grounded for the rest of your life!"

''That was it. That had to be it. Right then and there. Every single horrible memory of his sisters flooded his head. Along with those actions/events Luna stated earlier, there were also memories that included the following:''

-Every Thanksgiving, Lincoln is always skipped over as only the sisters get to carve the turkey. -When Hugh came over for tutoring sessions with Lincoln, his sisters continuously got in the way while fawning over the former. ''-Those times when Lincoln suggested what he and his sisters should do for fun, they all gave him a thumbsdown and yelled "EEEEHHHHHH!" Even though some of them liked Dairyland, which confused him.'' -That time when Lincoln was (in a sense) kicked out of his own home because everyone believed he was nothing but bad luck, even though it was kind of his own fault for lying to an extent. -Having to take the blame for all of his sisters actions for something he clearly didn't do, and get punished for them.

Lori: Man, talk about beating a dead horse. It's not like we've been told about this literally eight hundred times before.

Lucy: You know, I think I know why WildKirbyAtrox keeps doing this.

[Everyone turns to Lucy.]

Lana: Really?

Lucy: Yeah. Clearly, it's Lincoln's fault.

[Beat]

[Everyone but Lucy bursts out laughing.]

Lucy: [clenches her fist and smiles] Yes.

-Convincing Rita and Lynn Sr. into not allowing Lincoln to go to THE UMBRELLA BUILDING.

Luan: [inhales as if to speak]

Everyone else: ZIP IT!

Lincoln remembered all the pain, suffering, abuse he received from his sisters (including the ones who are normally nicer to him!).

''He quickly rises off of his elbows and jumps on his feet. With his face being red with rage, and his eyes blood-shot as well, he finally unleashes his fury... But not before ripping a few strands of hair off his own head...''

[Everyone's looking at the screen intently, watching with apprehensive, uneasy looks.]

...and then screaming at the top of his lungs due to the pain from ripping his hair.

Lynn: Yikes, that sounds painful! And I've been injured worse than that.

''Tears not only began to stream off Lincoln's face, but blood is also visible in his tears. Rita, Lynn Sr., Lily, and Ronnie Anne watch with horror and despair.''

Here it is: The Fury of Lincoln Loud.

Lola: [sniffles] I-I don't like where this is g-going.

Leni: Me neither.

[The only one not to look anxious or on the verge of tears is Lincoln, who has a miffed look on his face.]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! YOU SELFISH NO-GOOD SORRY EXCUSE FOR A SACK OF SISTERS! YOU CRETINS DRIVE ME INSANE, CAN'T YOU JUST LET ME HAVE WHAT I WANT FOR ONCE OR LET ME HELP YOU OUT?! I CAN'T SEEM TO DO ANY OF THAT WITHOUT YOU GUYS BEING WAY TOO INCONSIDERATE, BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO BUSY CARING ONLY ABOUT YOUR PATHETIC SELVES! LETTING ME HELP OUT OR GETTING WHAT I WANT WOULD HAVE LEAD TO LITTLE TO NO PROBLEMS, BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT AWAY WITH UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE GOT THROUGH TO YOU! IF YOU DID KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REAL DIGNITY OR SOME FORM OF CLASS, THEN YOU'D REALIZE THAT WE'RE NOT SO DIFFERENT, BUT NOOOOOOOO! JUST BECAUSE BIG BAD TWERPY PHILISTINE BAD-LUCK LINCOLN IS THE ONLY BOY IN THIS FAMILY, YOU ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME! I DO WHAT I CAN TO MAKE UP FOR MY OWN MISTAKES, BUT EVEN AFTER OUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED AND LESSONS ARE LEARNED YOU'D SCREW IT ALL UP AGAIN AND GO BACK TO BEING DEPLORABLE JERKS, CARING MORE ABOUT YOUR PETTY NEEDS THAN YOUR OWN BROTHER!"

[Lincoln looks over at his sisters, and a vein pops in his forehead as he looks at their cowed, aghast expressions.]

Lincoln: I need a moment, you guys.

[Lincoln gets out of his seat.]

Luan: [looks at Lincoln] Lincoln?

Lincoln: Like I said, I need a moment. I just need to calm down before things get ugly.

Lynn: Why?

Lincoln: Because I've had it, Lynn. This is getting on my last nerve. I hate having to look at stupid scenes like this because people think they have a clue about how our family works. I hate how it makes us feel bad about ourselves and question whether we're actually good to each other.

[Lincoln turns to the camera.]

Lincoln: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get some fresh air before I lose my cool, and you all have to see what the real fury of Lincoln Loud looks like.

[Lincoln steps out of the scene, walking out of the house and loudly slamming the door shut.]

Lola: Is Linky gonna be okay?

Lucy: I hope so.

Lori: Listen, if any of you guys need to take a break before we continue, you can go ahead and do it.

[Everyone else shakes their heads]

Lori: Okay. The good news is that I think the worst of it is over, but feel free to tap out if you've had enough.

''At last, the enormous ranting has ended. The parents, Lily, and Ronnie Anne are speechless. Even though they knew this had to happen, they were still horrified by what they both saw and heard. The sisters were more scared and frightened. They silently stared at Lincoln while trembling out of guilt and fear. Finally, after Lincoln finished panting heavily, he finally spoke up.''

"I'm sorry..."

''"Huh?" Everyone said in unison. That remark has taken then completely off guard. They were expecting something not-as-bad, but bad enough to leave some more mental scars.''

''"I'm sorry for going too far with my speech," Lincoln said as his tears streamed down off of his face. Small traces of blood in his tears are still visible as well.''

"I was just so angry at what I've been having to put up with over and over again... Not everything that I said is completely true-... No... None of it's true. It shouldn't be. Either that, or I refuse to believe in them..."

Before anyone could respond, Lincoln continues on.

"But that doesn't matter! Out of all the mistakes I've made... This is definitely my worst one ever! I never want to feel or act like a heartless demon ever again! Go ahead and hate me, because I-... I'M SORRY!"

Leni: If Lincoln was here right now, we'd all tell him that we could never hate him, no matter what. Right?

Lynn: Yeah.

Lisa: Obviously.

Luna: Right on.

Lana: Of course, we would.

[Lily nods.]

''With that, Lincoln himself falls to his knees again, but this time out of sheer regret as he burst into tears. Never before has he felt such heavy regret about hurting his sisters before. Then the rest of the sisters got up as they exploded in sobs as well, making their way to their brother and smothering him into what is quite possibly, the strongest hug they have ever felt. Even Lily wriggled herself out of Ronnie Anne's arms and waddled to her siblings, joining the big hug.''

''The Loud Siblings spent the next several minutes crying together. The parents and Ronnie Anne watch in sadness too. It's rare for a friend (or girlfriend in Lincoln's case somewhat) to witness that big of a personal family issue that she herself is not part of. To think she'd spend the day with the Louds like this.''

''After crying together, the siblings finally separated from one another. Wiping tears, snot, and blood (which came from Lincoln due to the heavy amount of stress he recently had to deal with) using all the tissues they could get, Lincoln was about to speak but Lori interrupts him.''

"Lincoln, stop... No need to beat yourself up over all this... We're not going to hate you, either. If anything, we're to blame. Us girls..."

Lincoln replies, "B-But I exploded way too hardcore... It's my fault too... I'm so sorry for blowing this way out of proportion."

''"We're sorry too, Bro," Luna apologized as well. "We put you through way too many harsh things... It's like you said, we wouldn't know what we got away with, unless someone got through to us."''

''"I stink more than you, big brother!" Lana adds in regret.''

Lana: Nuh-uh!

Lola: Double nuh-uh. Do you know how long it took me not to gag in my sleep after she started bringing moldy cheese with her to bed?

Lana: Hey, you can knock my lucky charms all you want, but you can't deny their results.

''"I-I guess we're the ones who have far less dignity than you!" confessed Lola.  "We are horrible sisters!" Lynn Jr. confirms. "We're sorry for messing you up so badly, AND for putting the blame on you about that broken T.V. AND the family van getting scratched up... I was the one who did those things...!" ''

Lori: That's our Lynnie!

''[Lynn grins at the camera with a fake, toothy grin, as 80's sitcom music plays and the "That's Our Lynnie!" title card logo wraps around her smug face.]''

''"Wait, what?" Lincoln asked in confusion and curiosity.''

"I'll tell you, later, Linc," Lynn Jr. answered.

''"I never want to be so hurtful to you too, Linky!" Leni said.''

''"Lincoln... I don't want to push you too far beyond your limits again...!" Lisa says while trying to keep her composure.''

''"Yeah, Linc," Luan says. "Looks like we're all to blame, and I don't even want to make any jokes right now."''

''"I always feel misery and emptiness, but I don't want to make YOU the one to feel those emotions, big brother," Lucy said in her usual monotone voice... Which as of now, seems to carry a large portion of sadness and regret.''

''[The front door opens, and Lincoln walks through. He shuts the door and locks it before he returns to his seat.]''

Lori: You feeling better?

Lincoln: [sighs] A little. I've got more to say about this once this is all over. What'd I miss while I was gone?

Lynn: Story Lincoln apologized for yelling at us like that, but then the story sisters said that it was fine because they deserved it.

Lincoln: Well, at least the first part sounds reasonable. Let's just get the rest of this out of the way and hope that there's nothing that can set me off.

''Lincoln could not believe what he was hearing. He initially expected his sisters to go back to hating on him or something, just like that time when he humiliated them on the internet for some dumb trophy. All because of the yelling, the rage, the fury, the pain. Was this more than enough to shake their hearts?''

''What Lincoln really wanted was not absolute vengeance or anything like that at all. What he really wanted was for peace, maybe SOME form of chaos, and for him and his whole family to get along. Sure there would be a few conflicts every once in a while, but at least he'd want it so that they do resolve their conflicts without leaving anything on a sour note. Even though it might not be an exact guarantee, Lincoln wouldn't want it any other way. He was just glad to see how much they loved him, so he needed to return that love to them.''

"You're wrong," Lincoln confirmed.

''"Wh-What do you mean?" Lori asked out of fear, convinced Lincoln might blow up again.''

"You guys are NOT horrible sisters."

Lincoln: And here I thought that I was gonna have to be the one to say that.

Leni: But you did.

Lincoln: [chuckles] No, no, Leni. I mean the real me, not the one in the story.

''"I said it before, and I'll say it again. I never want to feel or act like a heartless demon ever again. That's a promise I'm going to keep!" Lincoln confirmed.''

"Just one question," Lori said as she asks, "Will you ever forgive us?"

Lincoln takes a deep breath and then replies, "... I already have. It's fine if you don't want to forgive me..."

''"You forgive us, and so do we...!" Luna replied. "We promise we'll never push you too far again, Linc."''

''"Really?" Lincoln asked. "I mean, all that yelling, and screaming, and the rage... I was so hardcore about it all."''

''"Don't worry about it," Lynn Jr. added. "We ALL got our comeuppance, right?"''

''"Right, sure... But-." Lincoln gets cut off by Lynn Jr. as she says, "As long as you keep your promise, and we keep ours, we should be fine."''

''Lily waddled to Lincoln, as he lifted her and gave her a warm hug. He pokes her nose and a kiss on the forehead, both of which made the youngest loud sister giggle.''

Everyone: Aaaawwww...

''He turns his attention to the sisters and says, "Come here, you guys," which is an invitation for another hug. The sisters happily comply to this and join in.''

Rita and Lynn Sr. end up joining the hug as well, as the former says to Lincoln, "We're sorry for making you bottle up your emotions like that. We also should have kept a watchful eye on the girls too."

''"From now on, we'll make sure everything goes smoother in our family son," Lynn Sr added. "Still, we wish you kids wouldn't fight each other."''

Lori: Based on the stupid parenting in this story, they really could've fooled me. It's almost like they wanted conflict.

"Alright, Mom... Dad," Lincoln replied.

''Ronnie Anne stays back looking on with a warm smile. Yet at the same time, she felt a little bad. Lincoln immediately takes notice of this and asks, "Guys, there's something I gotta do..."''

''The Loud Family looks at Lincoln for a moment, before realizing what he needed to do. They separate from the hug, allowing Lincoln to go to his sort-of-girlfriend.''

"Hey, Ronnie Anne..."

''"Listen, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this big family issue..." Ronnie Anne said.''

"What are you talking about? Had it not been for you, this whole mess would've gotten worse," Lincoln confirmed.

''"Worse?" Ronnie Ann asked in response. "You just exploded a little while ago."''

"True, but that doesn't mean you weren't any help," he says while turning to face his sisters, asking, "what do you guys think? Do you think Ronnie Anne being there for me helped?"

The sisters shout in unision, "Yeah!"

The parents also agreed with Lincoln and the sisters on this.

''"Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sticking up for our son and helping him!" Lynn Sr. said with gratitude, shaking Ronnie Anne's hand.''

''"Lincoln is so lucky to have you as his caring girlfriend!" Rita added.''

All: [With the sisters saying it in a mocking tone] Ronnie Anne is not my girlfriend!

Lincoln: ...very funny.

"Bobby would literally be proud of you," Lori said.

''Ronnie Anne just stood there, awestruck at the praising she was getting. Who would've thought that a tough girl like herself (who originally pulled pranks on Lincoln in school) would eventually become not just a sort-of-girlfriend, but also one who actually cares for Lincoln?''

(Don't answer that, that's rhetorical.)

"Thank you, Ronnie Anne," Lincoln says to her.

"You're welcome, Lincoln," she replied, and they both hug, causing the sisters to go "Aaaawwwwww!"

''[Before the sisters can "awww" at the scene, Leni gestures for them to be quiet and points at Lincoln. Sure enough, their brother has a goofy grin on his face as he rests his head against his hand. The sisters giggle to each other while Lori takes a quick picture of Lincoln with her phone.]''

Lori: [in a hushed voice] Yep. That's gonna be my new screensaver for sure.

''A few days later after this incident, everything slowly went back to being normal, chaotic (in terms of how the Loud House tends to be on a regular basis), and peaceful. Much to the surprise of the Loud Siblings, Rita and Lynn Sr. decided that the kids have been punished enough for once. Though, that didn't stop them from giving up their allowances for about two months.''

As for Lynn Jr.'s confessions about the excessively scratched van, and the broken T.V., she told Lincoln, the other sisters, and the parents about it all.

-Flashback-

''While Lincoln left to visit Clyde, Lynn Jr. was playing football (that seemingly had some dirt on it) in the front yard. Doing so, however, lead to the sports girl leaving a smudge on the van. She tried to scrub it off with some sponges, but used the wrong side and left a lot of scratches on it.''

Lynn: Are you kidding me? I'm the one who gets dish washing duty the most around here. I think I know which side of the sponge I'm supposed to use.

''Then there's the T.V. in the living room. During Lynn Jr.'s mockery of Lincoln with Lola and Lana, she accidentally stumbled backwards and fell on the T.V. Of course, this wouldn't be enough to crack the screen but she continuously fell back on it during said actions with the twins.''

Lola: Oh, heck no. There's no way I'd let Lynn fall on the TV enough times to ruin it. Nothing's getting in the way of my HBO soap dramas.

[Everyone looks at Lola with questioning looks.]

Lola: [laughs nervously] I-I mean all those Blarney the Dinosaur episodes. That's what I meant.

Luna: It better be what you meant.

-Flashback Over-

''Back in the present, Lincoln has been going to see Dr. Lopez to learn how to keep himself together without hurting himself. The white-haired boy ended up telling Clyde about what happened after their talk, so his friend (and his Dads) strongly recommended that he goes to their therapist for extra help.''

''As for Ronnie Anne, she (and Lori) told Bobby about the whole ordeal as well. While Bobby was glad to hear that Ronnie Anne was there for Lincoln, he also wasn't pleased to know about how Lori behaved towards her brother. Fortunately, this did not lead to another break-up, so Lori and Bobby are still in good terms.''

Leni: Good thing, too. We wouldn't have enough chocolate ice cream and tissues for her if that happened.

Lori: [turns to Leni] I...can't tell if you're being genuine or if you're trying to be a wise guy.

Leni: [shrugs] Can't I be both?

(Seriously, if you think about it, Lori dodged a bit of a bullet there. Bobby would've been disapproving too if he saw Lincoln being treated horribly by his sisters.)

''After another appointment with Dr. Lopez, Lincoln returns home with more control of his emotions than before. His ten sisters stopped with their usual activities and went to him.''

''"Hey Bro," Luna greeted her brother. "You feeling any better?"''

''"Yeah, I guess," Lincoln replied. "I'm not feeling angry, or too stressed out anymore."''

''"Glad to hear it, Lincoln," Lori said as she allows Lincoln to hug her. "It's good to have you back to your old self."''

''The rest of the sisters joined in the hug as well. In a family as big as this, things could always turn out for the best, or for the worst. The Loud Family have their good days, and bad days. However, the important thing is that no matter what happens or how bad some situations can get, Lincoln and his sisters will always love each other. Best of all, he wouldn't give them up for the world.''

Never again, will Lincoln Loud burst into pure rage and vengeance.

(One more thing: Mr. Grouse had also witnessed Lynn Jr. accidentally scratching the van, and saw Lincoln losing himself in his anger. After this, he noticed Lynn's football in his yard so as usual, he yells, "My yard, my property!")

END.

Lynn: Heh. That's Mr. Grouse for you, I guess.

[Afterwards, there's a bit of dead silence.]

Lincoln: So, guys?

[Everyone turns to Lincoln.]

Lincoln: I just wanna say that I'm sorry for losing my cool back there.

Lucy: Why're you apologizing?

Luna: Yeah, dude. There's nothin' wrong with trying to cut loose when you're under pressure that brings a building down.

Lincoln: I guess.

Lori: Lincoln, it's fine. I get it. It really stinks that some people can't seem to stop thinking that we're some mixed-up family that can't get along.

Lynn: Yeah, but what'd they know? We might not be the perfect family, but I'll take all the occasional teasing and fighting if it means I get to keep you guys the way you are.

Lola and Lana: That's right!

Lincoln: [smiles] I feel the same way, but apologizing wasn't the only thing I wanted to say. [stands up, walks a few steps in front of the couch, and faces the sisters] I also wanted you guys to know that from now on, whenever we get a story like this, let's promise that we remember who we are and not question ourselves just because of a few strangers. We've been able to see our problems on our own and fixing them together. We don't need stories to do it for us by labeling us the wrong way.

[The sisters smile back at him.]

Lincoln: Agreed?

The sisters: Yeah!

Lincoln: So, besides all that, what'd you all think about the story?

Lana: Not...bad? I dunno. It was okay, I guess.

Luan: Yeah, I'm with Lana. It did a lot of things bad—like making everyone but Lincoln unbelievably mean and stupid—and some of the moments that took place didn't make a whole lot of sense...

Luna: Like that thing with the park.

Luan: Yeah, the park.

Lynn: And the sponges.

Luan: And the sponges.

Lily: Hah rah baga nee no!

Luan: [chuckles] And the poopy parents. But still, at least this author had the decency to have a pretty heartwarming ending. Oh, and we can't forget all those good Luan puns.

Leni: Not to mention that all those moments with Ronnie Anne and Lincoln were totes adorbs!

''[Lincoln shakes his head and groans while his sisters squeal excitedly. Just then, Lola perks up, and she grins.]''

Lola: Speaking of adorbs...[looks at Lincoln]...I've got a brother to fawn over!

Lincoln: Lola, what are yo-

Lola: You promised, remember?

Lincoln: Oh. Right. I did promise, didn't I? [sighs and smiles] Oh, okay. Let me have it, Lola.

Lola: Yippee!

''[Lola bolts over to Lincoln, and knocks him down with a tacking hug. She starts poking his cheeks with his fingers, all while Lincoln has an embarrassed smile on his blushing face.]''

Lola: Eeeeeeeee! You're just the cutest, sweetest big brother ever! Yes, you are! Yes, you are!

[Meanwhile, the other sisters exchange looks with each other.]

Lori: What'd you say, girls?

Lisa: Weeeeeeell...eh, why not? I suppose some light-hearted tomfoolery isn't out of the question.

Lucy: It...actually looks like fun.

Lynn: It's not how I usually horseplay, but I suppose it can't hurt to try something new every now and then.

''[Then, one by one, they all get up from the couch and join in on the fun. Soon, Lincoln is surrounded his sisters, who smother him with their affection—whether they're hugging him, kissing him on the cheek or forehead, or playing with his hair.]''
