User blog:This Spy/The Wacky House - Don't Get the Message

Author's Note: The following story is continuation of Get the Message episode.

(We continue with Lori promising painful vengeance on Lincoln after he left her an outrageous note and escaped the house. James and Normand enter the house, hear Lori's filthy rant with Luna censoring it, and they decide to intervene.)

James and Normand: (in unison) ENOUGH!

(Lori stops doing so with Luna following the suit.)

Luna: Huh? What are you guys doing here?

James: OK, can someone tell me what's going on?

Lisa: Lori launched a foul rant when Lincoln left her provocative letter, which says that "why is she the worst sister ever", it really infuriated her, and that's what happened. All because she violently kicked him out of her room with threat to turn him into human pretzel, and smashed his video game goggles.

Normand: (facepalms in disbelief) You have got to be kidding me, Lori...

James: (glares at her) Are you bloody serious, dammit?!

Lori: (gradually regains her composure, then sighs) Look, I'm sorry, OK? I didn't mean to kick him out in the first place, it's just that when you chat with your boyfriend for so long, you do tend to get bossy and mean at your siblings. I'm sorry, you guys. I should've known better than to act like a immature baby.

Normand: It's OK, Lori. Besides, you could've just politely told him to leave your room, and that's it. And just because he entered your room, regardless of it being accidental or not, he wasn't going to do anything stupid. But if he was going to, then it would've make sense.

Lori: I'm afraid you got a point there, Normand. I've should been more observing than jumping to conclusions. But even after all that, I still deeply care about him, I really do.

Luna: That's the spirit, sis.

Lori: Now I have to really apologize to Lincoln, with politeness this time. Only now do I realize that being this horrible to him will probably end up with him hating me for the rest of my life.

Lisa: Optimal solution, eldest sister unit.

James: Wise choice, Lori.

Lori: But wait, didn't he ran off the second I yelled like heck at him?

Luna: He did, sis.

Lori: Oh...hope he'll back soon enough.

James: Yeah.

(Lori takes that controversial letter, crumples it in a ball and throws it in a trash can.)

So'metime later...'

(We cut to McBride residence that evening, Lincoln decided to lay low at Clyde's to avoid Lori's brutality, with his VR goggles in his pockets, in still working condition.)

Lincoln: Hey, buddy, thanks for allowing me to stay in your house just to avoid my eldest sister's wrath.

Clyde: No problem, dude. That's what are friends for.

Lincoln: Wanna play some video games?

Clyde: Sure thing, Linc.

40 minutes later...

(It's already late, but Lincoln, thankfully, already ate some dinner with Clyde and his dads. He bids them farewell, leaves the house and goes to his. He reaches the porch, but stops in his tracks, remembering about Lori, and looks at the camera.)

Lincoln: (to readers) Oh, boy. I bet Lori's still peeved at me for that letter. I just wish I could've thought twice before leaving it intact, but what happened...happened. Well...(sighs)...time to commit myself into hospital.

(He enters the house, only to find the living room completely empty.)

Lincoln: Huh. (to readers) Usually, the living room isn't that empty. (notices something on the table) Hm, what's this?

(He finds a sticky note on the table, and it reads: "Lincoln, please come to my room. We need to talk. -Lori")

Lincoln: (gulps, and to readers) Knowing her attitude...it's a trap. But what's the difference? I'm still going to the hospital, either way.

(Lincoln does exactly as what the note on the table said. He enters her eldest sister's and Leni's room, and to his surprised, he finds Lori there, sitting on her bed, with a sad look on her face, and she's calm.)

Lincoln: Lori?

Lori: Hey, Lincoln. Take a seat.

(Lincoln walks over to her bed and seats next to her.)

Lori: Lincoln...(begins to cry and hugs him with sobbing)...I'm so sorry for kicking you out of my room and threatening you to turn into human pretzel. I'm so sorry, little bro. It's just that when you chat with your boyfriend for so long, you do indeed tend to get mean and bossy. Only today did I realize that I shouldn't have meant to do such horrible stuff to you... I'm literally sorry, Linky, I'm so sorry...

Lincoln: Shhh...(returns the embrace and caresses her back)...it's OK, Lori. I forgive you. And I'm sorry too for that letter. I was just afraid to talking to you, was afraid that you'd follow your threat.

Lori: (slowly stops crying, and smiles) It's alright, I forgive you, Linky. (kisses him on his forehead) Just don't do it again, OK? And if you want to talk about something to me or others, just please do so face-to-face, without any hestitation. Also, from now on, you're welcome in my room. Because I still love you, Linky, I really, really do, and just because you enter this room doesn't mean you're going to literally vandalize it right away.

Lincoln: (smiles as well) Thanks, Lori. You are the best sister a brother could ever ask.

(Lori is touched by this, finally hearing the kinds words she wanted all this time. She hugs her little brother a little more tightly.)

Lori: Thanks, Lincoln. That literally meant a lot to me.

Lincoln: You're welcome, sis.

Lori: How 'bout I take you out tomorrow for some ice cream?

Lincoln: Of course, Lori. Anything to keep us both happy.

Lori: Alrighty. (hugs him for the last time) Thanks again, Linky.

Lincoln: You're welcome again, Lori. (smiles at her)

Lori: I promise to not be harsh on you anymore, and that's how I should've been from the beginning.

Lincoln: And I promise not to leave such outrageous messages for you or other girls, sis.

Lori: OK Lincoln, you can go now. And remember - never be afraid to talk to me about something, understood?

Lincoln: Yeah. Thanks, sis, for helping to make this right.

Lori: You are always welcome, Linky. (winks at him, and after that, Lincoln leaves the room, and to herself) Gotta make one small change. (she texts Bobby that she needs to talk less in order to prevent such moments again)

Lori: Listen, Boo-Boo Bear, we need to talk less, because I was so focused on you, I took Lincoln like a complete stranger and yelled at him like heck.

Bobby: It's OK, I understand.

Lori: Thanks, Boo-Boo Bear, because I literally can't afford to harm my own brother.

Bobby: ''Yeah. See you soon, babe.''

Lori: See ya, Boo-Boo Bear.

(Lori then puts down her phone and addresses the readers.)

Lori: And that's why you guys should do the same - always focus on your family more than your friends, because trust me, you don't want to end up inadvertently harming your own siblings while chatting with your friends for so long.

The next day...

(Lincoln wakes up after heartwarming moment yesterday, he goes into the bathroom, changes into his everyday clothes, and goes downstairs, to find Lori there, waiting for him.)

Lori: Hey, Linky. Wanna go outside and do something together with me?

Lincoln: Why not? Not like I have stuff to do anyway.

Lori: Alright. Come on, then.

(They enter Vanzilla and drive off together for the day, then we cut to James and Normand in their mansion, they are planning something.)

James: So Normand, wanna go outside and play sports?

Normand: Sure, then how 'bout we see Lynn after that?

James: I'm down. Come on.

(They leave the mansion, and with that, we close our continuation.)

THE END
