User blog:AndrewBrauer/Loud Days of Summer

This is my fourth fanfiction as a followup to the polarizing "Twisted Night" as for this time I make a Lori and Lincoln story heavy in both dialogue, character development, and heart. Make sure to provide some feedback and enjoy!

Special thanks to YoshiRocker13 for co-writing the script with me.

Loud Days of Summer

Lincoln wins a radio contest for a weekend getaway to the Royal Woods Luxury Resort with a friend. He decides to bring Lori and the two spend the next two days discussing certain topics and hope to strengthen their complex relationship

The following story contains some underage drinking.

Script

(Opens with Lincoln listening to the radio hearing the radio announcer)

Radio Announcer: Alright listeners! Make sure you're the first caller once the song is over, so you can answer today's random question to win a random prize!!

Lincoln: (excited) Oh boy! I can't keep myself still! This prize better be worth it!

(Lori knocks on the door and walks in)

Lori: Lincoln, have you seen my... (notices him with the radio) Uh, what are you doing with my radio?

Lincoln: (nervously) Lori! Uhh, I'm using this so I can get today's question correct, so I can win a prize!

Lori: Well can you hurry up, I literally borrowed that from a friend and I need to return to him!

Lincoln: Okay okay! Just give me a second!

(The song ends as Lincoln quickly calls the number of the radio station)

Radio Announcer: Alright, now it's time to take a call to see who will win the prize... and it looks like we got someone on the line from Royal Woods, hello?

Lincoln: Hello! My name's Lincoln! Lincoln Loud! And I'm ready to take your question!

Radio Announcer: Alright Lincoln Loud, here is the random question of the day for your random prize! What is pie?

Lincoln: What is pie? (thinks) Umm... (nervously) It's uhh... (freaks out) It's a, uhh....

Lori: (snickers) Seriously Lincoln, this is way too easy.

Lincoln: (covers the phone) Not for me!

Lori: (sighs) Give me the phone. (pushes Lincoln over and holds the phone) Pie is three point one four. (gives the phone back to Lincoln)

Radio Announcer: Is that your final answer?

Lincoln: Y-Yes! Yes it is!

Radio Announcer: Congrats! You've won the random prize of the day!! We'll be sending the prize to your address in about one week!

Lincoln: YES! (cheers) I won!

Lori: Yeah great, now can I get my radio back twerp?

(Lincoln was too distracted from his victory. Lori rolled her eyes, and took the radio away)

Lori: Whatever. (walks out of Lincoln's room) I don't see why Lincoln is so happy, his prize will probably just end up being some stupid toy or cheap coupon.

7 DAYS LATER

(Lincoln checks the mail and notices an envelope with the radio station's name on it)

Lincoln: (excited) Oooh! This is my prize!

(Lincoln opens up the envelope and jumps up in excitement as he reads the letter saying that he has won a free weekend trip with a friend to the Royal Woods Luxury Resort)

Lincoln: Yes! I get to go to a resort! This is going to be so much fun!

(Later it shows Lincoln packing in his room as Lori walks in)

Lori: Lincoln dinner is almost ready... (notices him packing) Uh, where are you going?

Lincoln: I'm going on a weekend trip to the Royal Woods Luxury Resort!

Lori: All by yourself?

Lincoln: No, I get to take someone with me, it says here on the letter that I have to bring someone older than me, because I'll need supervision.

Lori: Well good luck finding someone, now come eat before your dinner gets eaten by someone.

(Lincoln rubs his arm, still thinking about who he should take. Then, he gets an idea. Early in the morning, while everyone was asleep, Lincoln went into Lori and Leni's bedroom)

Lincoln: (whispers) Psst! Lori! Lori! Wake up!

Lori: (wakes up and yawns) L-lincoln, what time is it?

Lincoln: It's 4am. Listen, I want to ask you something.

Lori: (slightly annoyed) At 4 in the morning? (sighs) Okay, spill it.

Lincoln: Do you want to come to the Royal Woods Luxury Resort with me?

Lori: (confused) Wait, are you serious, you're asking me to come with you?

Lincoln: Of course. After all, you were the one who helped me answer the question.

Lori: (smiles) Well that is true, a little surprised you picked me over your other sisters, when do we leave?

Lincoln: We leave this morning at 9:30am. I wanted to let you know this early so you could have enough time to get ready.

Lori: Alright, I'll be ready then, thanks Lincoln.

Lincoln: No problem. (leaves the room and closes the door)

(It cuts to five and a half hours later as Lori brings her suitcase to the van to meet up with Lincoln, who puts his suitcase in the van. They get in the van as both Lincoln and Lori sit in the back and Rita drives them to the resort)

Rita: Alright you two, it's gonna take us some time to get to the resort, so try to keep your excitement under control until then.

Lincoln: Don't worry Mom, I'll stay as calm as I can be.

Lori: We will Mom.

(Lori and Lincoln grow bored on the ride)

Lori: So what do you know about this Resort Lincoln?

Lincoln: Oh, all kinds of things! You can go to the beach, eat lots of food, relax in a spa, or just relax in your deck.

Lori: Sounds like paradise, I'm surprised the radio station gave away free passes like that.

Lincoln: Well they say it's the random question to win a daily random prize.

Lori: I guess that does make sense, if I had known about it this would've literally been the perfect getaway trip for me and Bobby.

Lincoln: Hey Lori, I always wondered. How did you and Bobby actually meet for the first time?

Lori: I assume your asking because you wanna know more about not only my boo-boo bear but also your bro?

Lincoln: Yeah, but... (puts his hand on her lap) also about you. (smiles)

Lori: (smiles) I'm glad you asked, so me and Bobby first met each other freshman year. We were originally classmates in algebra and nothing more, aside from working on some class assignments together we didn't bond much. A year later he was dating this girl I really hated named Celeste, she had this big puffy black hair and dangling earrings, and she had this nasty attitude with everyone, sorta of like me only worse.

Lincoln: Wow...

Lori: But Bobby dated her because she acted like he was the best at everything, which he still is but the difference is that she secretly talked behind his back and made all these false accusations about him.

Lincoln: Oh my gosh, that's awful!

Lori: She told everyone that Bobby secretly enjoyed trashing people's cars and spray canning the phrase "Royal Wood Has No Wood" when in reality she actually did all that. I decided to intervene even though me and Bobby were still just classmates and hardly friends, but I hated how she was treating him.

Lincoln: And I'm guessing that's when you and Bobby started dating?

Lori: Not quite, and here's why. Bobby still believed what Celeste was doing was to help him and she liked it, everything she did was to give him this bad boy reputation, something she only wanted out of the guys she dated. She wasn't into him because of who he was, but because she was obsessed with changing who he was to fit what she thought was better. So when I tried to talk some sense into Bobby, he broke down upset from the whole ordeal, he told me he was almost expelled out of school for setting the Principals car on fire, remember when that happened a few years ago and our whole school was called in for questioning?

Lincoln: Oh yeah.

Lori: And Celeste ratted out Bobby for doing it, luckily for me I was suspicious of Celeste that day sneaking out to the teacher parking lot after school, and when I saw that she poured gasoline onto the Principal's car, I knew I had to do the right thing and capture the footage. I showed Bobby the video, he broke up with Celeste and she got expelled after I told the Principal about everything she had been doing.

Lincoln: So then what happened?

Lori: I decided to become friends with Bobby, I comforted him all throughout Sophomore year and helped him get over Celeste. Then on the last day of school, he had something big planned for us.

Lincoln: Is THAT when you started dating?

Lori: Pretty much, after our final class of the day me and Bobby decide to go out on the town only I thought it was just friends getting together I didn't think it was a date. We went to go get milkshakes, played Skee-ball at the arcade, went to dinner at the Burpin' Burger and spent the rest of the night walking on the beach. The best part of it all was the talking, Bobby opened up about himself, whether it would be for helping his family with money or making sure his younger sister stays out of trouble, so of course I talked about myself as well. I told him about my family life, my siblings, and just all the little things in life that I enjoy so much, which did include Bobby. We finally got to open up and actually have a heart to heart conversation. So at the end of the night when he brings me back home, he kisses me underneath the stars for the first time.

Lincoln: Wow... That was actually an interesting story!

Lori: (smirks) What you just think all I do is tell boring stories?

Lincoln: Of course not! (smirks) Well okay, maybe sometimes.

(The two laugh)

Lori: You'd be surprised at how interesting people think I am, when Bobby and I first met he found me to be "a diamond in the rough" when he described me on our night out. He likes how I manage to know everyone and make decisions that would help everyone in the long run. And after that night out, we started officially dating and I realized how much Celeste was using him, I wanted to make sure I appreciate all of the awesome things he's done, from the jobs he has to the gifts he gives me, that's what young love is about.

Lincoln: (blushes) Yeah, I should know.

Lori: Something on your mind?

Lincoln: (blushes) Oh, I was just thinking about Ronnie Anne.

Lori: It's kinda of surprising how your former enemy as turned into your girlfriend now. Lincoln: Yeah, but I wouldn't have gotten together with her if it wasn't for you. Even though you tried to beat me up before that.

Lori: I would've been sad and alone for a long time, you want to see me when I'm sad and alone over how I am now?

Lincoln: No.

Lori: But how was it with you two before you got together?

Lincoln: Well just like you and Bobby, we were classmates a few years and things were fine, only...

Lori: Only what?

Lincoln: I did something that really embarrassed her, in front of the whole class.

Lori: Well now everything makes sense. (laughs) Lincoln: It wasn't my fault, I brought a large cake in for a year end party the class was having. I put the cake down and hand ended up tipping the cake over and splattered all over Ronnie, who was sitting right next to it. Everyone laughed at her and all I remember was the fury in her eyes when she wanted to exact revenge on me.

Lori: So I assume she got bored of messing with you and started to view you differently?

Lincoln: I guess so, she must've gotten bored from it all.

Lori: That story is pretty embarrassing, but in a weird way you should be thankful.

Lincoln: Thankful?

Lori: This will make a great story to tell when you two get married.

Lincoln: (concerned) Married? That's a bit too much Lori.

Lori: I'm kidding Lincoln, mostly cause I'll beat you first when I marry Bobby.

Lincoln: We'll see.

(The two laugh as they arrive at the resort and pull up to the front. Lincoln and Lori get out of the van)

Rita: Alright kids be careful, call me if you need any help.

Lincoln: We will! Bye Mom!

(Rita drives off, as the two walk up to the front desk where a lady is there)

Front Desk Lady: Welcome to the Royal Woods Luxury Resort, how can we help you?

Lincoln: I have a reservation under Lincoln Loud, I was given this in the mail.

(Lincoln hands the front desk lady the paper from the radio prize with all the information, as she looks at it for a couple seconds and looks back at Lincoln)

Front Desk Lady: Ah, so you're the winner of the Random Question win a Random Prize contest?

Lincoln: Yep, that's me.

Front Desk Lady: Do you have a chaperone who's at least three years older than you?

Lori: That would be me.

Front Desk Lady: Alright, I'm just going to need you to sign these papers verifying that your eligible.

(The lady hands Lori a sheet of paper as she signs it in less than a minute and hands it back to her)

Front Desk Lady: Alright, let me just make sure the room is all set and ready for you two.

Lincoln: (to Lori) Man, I'm really excited!

Lori: Me too! (looks around the lobby) Wow! This resort is literally classy!

Lincoln: (looks around the lobby) Nice digs! I could get used to this!

Lori: Kinda of like that time you had a limo for the day?

Lincoln: Yeah, that.

Lori: Well don't get to caught up in in, remember what happened that day as well?

Lincoln: I know, I know. I was acting like a jerk. I promise I won't do that ever again.

(The Front Desk lady returns)

Front Desk Lady: Your room is all set, here is the keycard. (hands Lori the keycard to the room) The elevators are on your right hope you enjoy your stay.

Lincoln: Thank you!

(Lincoln and Lori carry their suitcases with them as they enter the elevator, press the button for their floor, and walk down the hallway to their hotel toom. Lori pushes the keycard in and enters the room with Lincoln as they see their room includes a living room with a flat screen TV, a kitchen with a fulll size fridge and counters, a large bathroom with a big bathtub the size of a hottub, and a large room with two king sized beds)

Lincoln: (stunned) Whoa! This is huge!

Lori: (stunned) It literally is huge! (opens the curtains to see a large view of the entire city, along with a big swimming pool down below, a tennis court, and more) This view is incredible!

Lincoln: (notices the view) Whoa! This is gonna be the best weekend ever!

Lori: Totally, (to Lincoln) so this is your vacation, what do you feel like doing first?

Lincoln: Let's go swimming!

Lori: Alright cool, let me get ready!

(Cuts to Lori and Lincoln leaving their hotel room and walking down the hallway in their swimsuits)

Lori: Earlier on the ride here you seemed a little freaked out when I mentioned you, Ronnie and marriage.

Lincoln: That's only because I'm so young! I'm not ready to know about marriage!

Lori: I was only kidding bro, besides you'll have more things to worry about in life before popping the big question.

Lincoln: Like puberty?

Lori: Well, I was going to say what career you want, but yeah puberty sounds like something to go through first. It's something you'll be going through since you start Middle school soon, looking forward to it?

Lincoln: (nervously) A little bit.

Lori: Why is that exactly?

Lincoln: I feel like I'm growing up too fast. I'm eleven years old now, and I feel like Middle School is coming a lot sooner than I thought.

Lori: You should be lucky Lincoln. (pushes the elevator button)

Lincoln: Lucky?

Lori: I'm close to graduating high school, by next year I'll be on my own.

Lincoln: (jealous) Yeah, you get to leave and do whatever the heck you want to do! You'll finally be able to escape all the chaos at home!

Lori: To be honest, I'm more worried then I am excited. (elevator opens as she and Lincoln enter and they press the first floor button)

Lincoln: Why?

Lori: (sighs) Here's something you might now know, I literally don't know what I want to do with my life.

Lincoln: Really?

(They arrive on the first floor and walk towards the pool)

Lori: Yes, I might be good at knowing people and doing the right thing, but I literally don't know what I'm truly good at. It's like I'm Luna who wants to make music, or Luan who wants to perform comedy, or even Leni who literally wants to design fashion, what does that leave me? (looks down) I don't even know if I ever will find out what my purpose in life is.

Lincoln: Well I honestly feel the same way, I don't even know what I want to do with myself when I get older.

Lori: Oh Lincoln, you're only eleven you'll find out what career you want through time, meanwhile I spent most of high school trying to win over Bobby instead of discovering new hobbies or looking into my own interests.

Lincoln: I'm sure you'll soon find out what you want to do when you leave the house.

(The two walk out to the deck and notices the pool with only a few people in it)

Lincoln: Wow, this pool is barely crowded!

Lori: That's rare. (Lori sits down and lays on the deck in the sun) I'll meet you in the water later.

Lincoln: Okay, whatever you say, Lori. (jumps into the water)

(Lincoln swims around in the pool for a bit, he notices Lori looking bored. Lincoln gets an idea and goes to the Water Toys shack on the deck. Lincoln walks up to Lori laying down shoots water from a water gun onto her alerting her)

Lori: (surprised) Lincoln! What was that for?

Lincoln: Just trying to have some fun, sis!

(Lincoln hands her a water gun as she grins)

Lori: Oh so that's how you wanna play!?

(Lori stands up and shoots water from the gun at Lincoln)

Lincoln: (laughs) Now we're talking!

(Lori chases Lincoln as they both jump into the pool and continue shooting each other with water guns)

Lori: (laughing) You're right, this is fun!

Lincoln: (laughing) Exactly!

Lori: You know what else I haven't done in a while?

(Grabs Lincoln and gives him a head noogie)

Lincoln: (laughing) Lori!

(Lincoln splashes her in the face causing her to release him)

Lori: I also haven't done this in a while! (splashes Lincoln in the face)

Lincoln: It's on, sis! (splashes more water at Lori's face)

(The two continue splashing each other with water for a bit, after some time the two laugh after having some fun in the pool)

Lincoln: (laughing) Oh man, that was fun!

Lori: (smiles) It was, wanna go get something to eat?

Lincoln: (smiles) Sure, all that splashing made me hungry.

(The two get out of the pool and walk over to a snack shop next to the pool. Lincoln sits at a table when Lori comes back holding a basket of pizza bites as she places them on the table)

Lori: Got us something to eat.

Lincoln: Thanks Lori! (eats his food) This is really good.

Lori: The guy up front said it was the most popular item on their menu.

(The two continue eating the pizza bites)

Lori: So I got a question to ask that has been on my mind since this morning.

Lincoln: What is it?

Lori: If I didn't help you win that contest, who would you pick instead to come with you to the resort?

Lincoln: (nervously) Uhh, why are you asking?

Lori: (sighs) Because I feel like if I didn't help you answer the question, you would've easily picked Leni or Luna, I bet even Luan would've been an option before me.

Lincoln: Well, your not wrong.

Lori: (faceplams) I knew it, I knew I was right about this.

Lincoln: Well can you blame me?

Lori: Is it something I did wrong, what is it that your other older sisters have them makes them better then me?

Lincoln: It's because they're nicer to me! Leni's always nice to me no matter what I do wrong, and Luna's the same thing! And Luan may prank me too much, but at least she still cares about me.

Lori: Well what is it that makes me not like them?

Lincoln: Lori, I can't believe you've never noticed this before. Most of the time, you're treating me like garbage. Remember the time I stumbled into your room with my goggles? Yeah, you kicked me out, and it hurt! Not to mention, when you apologized to me, you didn't even sound like you cared. Also, you're always making fun of me when I like something that you don't, like my Ace Savvy costume! Not to mention everyday you're placing dibs on EVERYTHING, just because you're the oldest! Just because you're the oldest, does NOT mean you're entitled to everything!

Lori: (gets upset) I can't believe it... am I like this with everyone?

Lincoln: Yes! You're like this to everyone! And sometimes, you even team up with the other sisters against me! Like the toilet clogging incident, the money issue, the torture your brother when he ignores you, and the getting the best seat in the car incident!

Lori: Well we still worked things out in the end!

Lincoln: Only on a rare occasion! I don't know why you act so mean to everyone, especially to me! What have I ever done to you?!

Lori: (begins to get angry) Oh funny you asked that; you posted an embarrassing video of me farting, you tied me up and made the house go insane while I was suppose to be watching you all, you ignored me all day with your stupid ear buds, you didn't want me to be myself during that dumb family picture, you kicked me out of the pool we were all using, you made me and everyone else in the house stop doing our usual activities all for some STUPID polar bears, you made me and Bobby break up that one time, you ditched us with that limo, you almost got me fired from my part time job at the pizza arcade, you hogged Bobby from me during that day at the fair, you broke my watch, and to top it all off you went into MY room!

Lincoln: (angry) Yeah, I did that! But there's one thing that I did! I apologized to you, all of you, and made it up to you guys for doing those horrible things! That is something that YOU have never done for ANY of us! You always think you can get off scot-free for all the stupid things you do, and I always make up for the stupid things I did!

Lori: (sighs frustrated) You know, enjoy your time at the resort I'm going back to the room.

(Lori angrily walks out of the snack shop as Lincoln continues to eat not caring about Lori)

5 HOURS LATER

(Lincoln returns up to the Hotel room and doesn't see Lori)

Lincoln: Lori? Lori! Where'd you go?! (realizes) Wait, I have the keycard to the room. That means Lori couldn't have been able to get in.

(Lincoln changes back into his normal clothes and watches TV as he stumbles onto a show)

Woman: Honey, is something wrong?

Man: (frustrated) It's my older sister, she told my parents I stole money from them when really she was the one who stole it. She also made fun of my costume I made for the convention today.

Lincoln: (crosses his arms) Reminds me of some certain sister I know.

Woman: Is it always like this with your sister?

Man: Most of the time, but even despite all that I still love her, back in high school she gave me free food at the restaurant she was working at and she got me to really enjoy hanging out with her boyfriend Danny.

Woman: So she can be nice?

Man: Well yeah of course, we may fight sometimes but I always remember that she is family and that at the end of the day the positives always outweigh the negatives, no matter how much the person makes you mad.

Woman: (smiles) Awww, that's so sweet honey. (kisses the man)

Lincoln: (begins to feel bad) Aw man... Maybe I've been to hard on Lori. I mean, she may fight with me a lot, but I know she does love me. It almost feels like I don't love her.

(Lincoln turns off the TV and walks back down to the pool deck looking for Lori)

Lincoln: Lori! Lori! Where are you?!

(Lincoln goes to the snack shop and approaches the man at the cashier)

Lincoln: Excuse me? Have you seen a tall girl wearing a swimsuit? She has blonde hair.

Cashier Man: Yeah I think I know who your talking about, last I saw her she went inside somewhere in the bar.

Lincoln: Bar? (looks up) Oh no.

(Lincoln rushes inside and goes into the bar, as he approaches one of the waiters)

Lincoln: Excuse me! Have you seen a tall girl with blonde hair?!

Waiter: I think I know who your talking about, I think she went over to the other side of the hotel holding a large bottle of wine.

Lincoln: (gasps) No! She's 17! She's not old enough to be drinking! (runs off)

(Lincoln checks the map to see where Lori could be, after looking she finds Lori laying around the indoor Hot Tub with the bottle of wine next to her)

Lori: (slurred) Lincoln buddy! What's goooooing on with you?

Lincoln: Lori! You can't drink wine! You're not old enough yet!

Lori: (burps) Oh come on bro, let's have some fuuuuuuun forget about today, try to guess who I am. (clears her throat) STAGE DIVE!! (giggles) Come on that's Luna!

Lincoln: (shakes her by her shoulders) Lori! Snap out of it! This wine's made you crazy!

Lori: (slurred) Yeeeeah well so what! I've literally been a bad person all day and now I want to do is be alone, sit in a hot tub, and try something different in life that isn't texting boo-boo bear or worrying about my family. So I figure I'd try, alcohol! (grabs the bottle of wine and chugs some more out of it)

Lincoln: (tries to pull the bottle away) Lori! You gotta stop! This isn't good for you at this age!

Lori: (accidentally hits Lincoln with the bottle as he falls into the indoor pool) Lincoln, brother? (looks around) I guess he left. (yawns) I need some sleeeeeeep! (closes her eyes as she slowly slides down into the water of the Hot Tub)

(Lincoln climbs out of the pool in some pain)

Lincoln: (coughs) Dang it Lori! Why did-?! (notices) Lori?! Where'd she go now?!

(Lincoln walks over to the Hot Tub to find Lori, he soon notices something in the hot tub that looks like Lori's hair)

Lincoln: Wait, that looks like- (gasps) LORI!!

(Lincoln turns off the Hot Tub and tries with all his strength to pull an unconscious Lori out)

Lincoln: (puts Lori on the ground) Lori! LORI!! Wake up!

(Lincoln tries performing CPR on Lori, after putting his lips on her to help her breathe, she spits out water all over Lincoln as she coughs and rolls around)

Lori: (covering her face) Ugh! I feel... bad!

Lincoln: (wipes his face) Ew!

(Lori goes back asleep as Lincoln looks at her and runs off to get some help)

3 HOURS LATER

(Lori wakes up still in her bathing suit but in one of the beds of the hotel room as she holds her forehead in some pain from the headache)

Lori: Wha... am I at the hotel?

Lincoln: (relieved) Oh thank goodness you're okay!

Lori: (turns to Lincoln) Do you know what happened to me? Why does my head hurt and why do I feel all wet and gross?

Lincoln: (sighs) After we had our arguement, you went to the bar to get some alcohol, and then you went back to the Hot Tub! Then, you got drunk, and nearly drowned!

Lori: (gasps) Are you serious? No wonder I'm in my bathing suit and my head hurts!

Lincoln: Yeah, and I had to try and wake you up. I even had to do it mouth to mouth! (disgusted) Eugh!

Lori: (slightly shocked) You actually tried to wake me up?

Lincoln: Of course, I even went to get you help.

(Lori looks down and then sits down next to Lincoln and hugs him)

Lori: (voice breaking) T-thank you so m-much.

Lincoln: (smiles) I'm just glad you were relieved that I saved your life.

Lori: (covers her mouth) Excuse me, I need to find a toilet literally right now.

(Lori rushes into the bathroom and begins puking into the toilet, with Lincoln hearing this from outside the bathroom)

Lincoln: (sighs) I knew this would happen to her.

Lori: (from inside the bathroom) Hey Lincoln, maybe in about an hour we head downstairs for dinner at the nice restaurant on the first floor, you know do something fancy.

Lincoln: Sure, that would be nice.

Lori: Great, just make sure you don't let me drink. (slightly laughs)

Lincoln: (deadpanned) Oh I won't.

(It cuts to an hour later where Lincoln and Lori walk into the fancy restaurant on the first floor wearing nice clothes, the waiter shows them to a table they finish taking their orders and wait for their food)

Lori: So, after what happened today, am I still the worst sister to you?

Lincoln: Lori, I know I said some things about you back at the snack shop, but I think I was being too harsh on you. We may always have fights, or get into arguements, but I always remember that you're my family and that at the end of the day the positives always outweigh the negatives, no matter how mean you are to me.

Lori: Oh wow, thank you. Can't believe you would actually say that after I got drunk and nearly drowned in a hot tub. (sighs) I felt defeated after our fight and all I wanted to do was try something new in life, something that would help me think more, after failing to try things out around the hotel one of the lifeguards took me to the bar to get a drink. I literally thought trying my first drink would do something to help motivate me, and it turns out I was dead wrong.

Lincoln: Lori, you may not always figure out what to do so quickly, but I know you will figure out what your dream job is and what defines you. Drinking can't solve your problems, and I should know, because a similar thing happened with Luna. She was so excited to perform with her friends, that she got carried away and drank alcohol. Drinking can never solve problems you have. But don't worry Lori, even though you haven't figured it out yet, you will figure out what kind of dream job can define how you are. (smiles) I know you will, because I have faith in you.

Lori: (smiles) Thanks again Lincoln, sorry I nearly ruined our weekend at the hotel. Lincoln: It doesn't matter, this was still the best weekend I've ever had. Especially with you. (Lori hugs Lincoln as the two enjoy the rest of their dinner, afterwards the two return to their hotel room. Lincoln and Lori are shown in the PJ's and just finished watching a movie in the living room, Lincoln is asleep on Lori's lap, She notices and smiles)

Lori: (to herself) Thanks for everything little brother.

(Lori turns off the TV and carries Lincoln to his bed, she gets into bed as well and the two go to sleep)

THE NEXT DAY

(Lincoln and Lori walk out to the tennis court wearing all white, as each hold a tennis racket and Lori holds the ball)

Lori: So Lincoln, have you ever played tennis before?

Lincoln: (thinks) Uhh, not really.

Lori: Well me neither, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt that we both try this out.

(Lincoln grabs a tennis ball, and he serves the tennis ball, he hits the ball across the court as Lori hits it and the two continue to hit the ball with their rackets)

Lori: Didn't Lynn ever teach you any sports, you know besides football?

Lincoln: Well...

(Flashback to Lynn and Lincoln playing tennis)

Lynn: Hey Linc! Incoming!

(Lynn hits the ball with all her strength, but the ball hits Lincoln in the head, knocking him out)

Lynn: (nervously) Uhh, little bro?

(Flashback ends)

Lincoln: It didn't end well.

Lori: Well maybe this time it will be different.

(Lincoln hits the tennis ball with all his strength, but the ball hits Lori in the head, knocking her out. It cuts to Lincoln and Lori in their hotel room in their normal clothes with Lori heading an ice pack against her head)

Lincoln: (laughs nervously) I guess it wasn't as different as I thought.

Lori: (slightly laughs) I guess so, but maybe sports shouldn't be our thing we do today.

(The two arrive back on the deck, as they notice a Slurpee drinking contest is being held)

Announcer: Alright folks, we have two slots open for anyone who wants to drink an ice cold Slurpee all the way to the bottom!

Lori: (to Lincoln) Wanna try that out?

Lincoln: (to Lori) You know it!

(The two go to the stand where the Slurpee contest is held, as each of them are given a large Slurpee. Lincoln's is orange Lori's is blue)

Lincoln: Wow, these colors match our shirts.

Lori: Oh yeah they do!

Announcer: Alright contestants! Whoever can drink the most of their Slurpees without passing out or quitting wins this fifty dollar coupon to Gus' Game and Grub! (to Lincoln and Lori) You two ready?

Lincoln and Lori: We're ready!

Announcer: On your mark, get set, GO!!

(Lincoln and Lori begin drinking their Slurpee's, Lori is in the lead as she reaches the halfway mark, Lincoln manages to catch up to Lori as the two are head to head and have only a quarter of their Slurpee's left. Lori stops and falls over getting a brain freeze. Lincoln manages to finish but he holds his head in some pain receiving a brain freeze. Later the two are at the snack bar as Lincoln is glad you won the coupon)

Lincoln: Yes! I won the coupon!

Lori: Good for you. (holds her head) Ugh! I think I'm still feeling that brain freeze.

(Suddenly, Lori gets a phone call as she answers it)

Lori: (on her phone) Boo-Boo Bear! I'm so glad called sorry I've been busy I'm at this amazing resort that is literally the best.

(Lincoln see's Lori is busy so he walks off)

1 HOUR LATER

(Lori finishes on the phone and notices Lincoln swimming in the pool looking bored)

Lori: Oh Lincoln, was I on the phone for a while?

Lincoln: Yeah, you were.

Lori: I'm sure, I literally haven't talked to Bobby in a whole day.

Lincoln: (looks down) I just can't believe you'd spend more time on your phone than you would with your family.

Lori: What right now?

Lincoln: You do it all the time at home. Everyday, you're on your phone for almost the entire day talking to Bobby, and you do that instead of doing all the fun stuff you do with your family. (sighs) Now it feels like the same here too.

Lori: (sighs) You're right, I'm on vacation. (turns her phone off) I guess I'm on my phone a lot of the time cause it's one of the few things I'm really skilled at.

Lincoln: Oh come on Lori, you're skilled at many things, remember what we did here in the pool yesterday? (splashes water on her)

Lori: (gets annoyed) Gah! Lincoln! I'm not dressed to swim!

Lincoln: Sorry, I was just trying to have some fun.

Lori: Wait, you know what, you're right. I need to let loose of all my problems and have some fun!

(Lori jumps in the pool and begins splashing Lincoln)

Lincoln: (laughs) That's more like it!

Lori: And while I'm at it! (makes a huge wave in the water using her arm as she splashes Lincoln and sends him almost to the other side of the pool)

Lincoln: Whoa! That was awesome!

Lori: Really, thanks!

(The two continue to play in the pool as it cuts to them sitting at the snack bar each of them drinking juice out of a coconut, as the sun sets behind them)

Lori: I can't believe we literally had a chicken fight with those two boys at the pool!

Lincoln: I know! I had a lot of fun today, Lori!

Lori: Me too!

(The two notice groups of people by the deck as tropical music plays and they start to dance)

Lincoln: (dancing) Wow, what a catchy beat!

Lori: Oh, you wanna dance?

Lincoln: (nervously) Uhh, I AM dancing!

Lori: Yeah, but with yourself. (grabs Lincoln's hand) Come on.

(The two meet up with the groups of people on the deck)

Lori: NOW we can dance.

Lincoln: (nervously) B-But I've never danced like this bef-

Lori: Lincoln, you literally need to quit being nervous and just enjoy the moment.

(Lori grabs Lincoln's hand to does the tango dance with him as he smiles enjoying the dancing and everyone notices enjoying it)

Lincoln: (smiles) This is nice.

Lori: I learned how to dance with Bobby as part of a date, hopefully you can show theses moves off to Ronnie Anne someday.

Lincoln: Hopefully I can too.

(The two continue to dance as it cuts to them returning back to their hotel room smiling from having such a fun day)

Lori: (Smiling) I can't believe how good I am at dancing with you!

Lincoln: I know! I didn't think I would dance so well.

Lori: Sometimes you just have to leave everything up to chance.

(Lori hugs Lincoln as she sits down on the couch, takes her flats off, and stretches her body)

Lori: I'm pretty tired after all we did today, it's too bad Mom is picking us up tomorrow morning.

Lincoln: Yeah, that is a bummer, but at least we made the most of it.

Lori: We did, (smiles) can you guess who I am? (picks up one of her flats and pretends it's a brush on her hair) I brush my hair exactly 50 times a night to keep it beautiful.

Lincoln: (laughs) You're Leni, aren't you?

Lori: (laughs) Yes, here try impersonating one of your sisters.

Lincoln: (pretends to look depressed) The days that it rain, are my favorite kind of days. The sun makes my friends go away. Sigh. (laughs)

Lori: (laughs) It's pretty obvious that's Lucy.

Lincoln: (does another impersonation) You got it sis! Now let's go downstairs so we can jam to the rockin' beat! (laughs)

Lori: (laughs) That's Luna alright. Now watch this! (uses one of her flats and pretends it's a wooden dummy) Gee Mr. Coconuts I liked the joke, but your delivery seemed a little wooden! (laughs)

Lincoln: (laughs) That's Luan!

Lori: (laughs) Yup! (the two laugh from doing impersonations of their sisters) Remember when we had fun like this when we were younger?

Lincoln: I remember, we used to do it all the time!

Lori: (sighs) I guess when you get older you lose focus on spending time with those you love and instead focus on yourself.

Lincoln: (looks down) Yeah...

Lori: (to Lincoln) Do you ever worry you'll turn out like me and treat your younger sisters badly?

Lincoln: (sighs) Sometimes. Because the truth is, I sometimes get attached to what I like to do too.

Lori: I think for me that first happened when I got my first cellphone and developed feelings for boys.

Lincoln: (worries) Oh gosh, what if I turn out the same?

Lori: I hope it doesn't, after this weekend I think you'll turn out better then me when I was around your age.

Lincoln: Why?

Lori: Because, even when you were born I was still reluctant to play with you. It wasn't until Luna and Leni helped me play with you that I grew attached. Even though you're almost a teenager you still enjoy hanging out and helping not only your older sisters but your younger ones. Even Luna, Luan, Leni, and Lynn would still play with you and everyone else in the house, and their literally teenagers. I lost focus on being with my family and they didn't, and I think you'll turn out like them instead of... (looks down) me.

(Lincoln began to feel sorry for Lori. He walked up to her, and sat next to her)

Lincoln: Lori, look. Everything you say is true, but there's one thing you can do. You can change. Look at this weekend we had, I don't think I've ever had this much fun with you in a long time. And you know what? I thought it was totally worth it. And even though sisters like Luna and Leni still play with me, they never played with me as much as they did when I was younger. The point is Lori, people change over time, including myself. I'll never know how I'll behave when I become the same age as you, but I will always love everyone, including you. After this weekend we have, I only hope that we can have a closer relationship, because... (sighs) It's something I sure missed doing.

Lori: It's something I missed as well.

(Lori hugs Lincoln tightly, as it cuts to the two getting ready for bed as each of them are in their PJ's)

Lori: Hey Lincoln, can I ask you for a favor?

Lincoln: Sure Lori, what is it?

Lori: Can I sleep in your bed tonight, you know how we were when you little?

Lincoln: (smiles) Yes. I would like that very much.

Lori: Thank you. (Lori gets into Lincoln's bed and kisses Lincoln on the forehead) I love you.

(Lincoln smiles, then he snuggles with Lori)

Lincoln: I love you too.

(The two sleep in bed silently, as it cuts to the next morning as Lincoln and Lori walk into the hotel lobby with their suitcases. They approach the same lady at the front desk and Lori gives her the keycard to their room)

Lori: Here's the keycard.

Front Desk Lady: Excellent, did you two enjoy your stay?

Lincoln: We sure did! But, (looks up at Lori) it wouldn't have been as fun if Lori wasn't with me. (smiles)

Lori: (blushes) Awwww.

Front Desk Lady: Well you two seem quite close, hope you make it home safe and your always welcome to return anytime.

Lori: Thank you.

(The two walk out of the hotel and wait up front for Rita to arrive with Vanzilla)

Lori: After this weekend, I think I may know what I want to do after I graduate.

Lincoln: What is it?

Lori: I think I'm going to try and become a therapist, become someone who literally helps those having problems in their life, after all not only did you try to help me this weekend, but I also helped you out as well, just in my own unique way.

Lincoln: That's actually a really good idea Lori.

Lori: Thanks, and I hope you figure out what your dream job is over the next seven years.

Lincoln: I hope so too.

Lori: Also one more thing, when mom asks us about our time at the hotel, can you please not mention how I got drunk and nearly drowned, (slightly nervous) please?

Lincoln: Don't worry Lori, I won't.

Lori: (smiles) Thanks.

(Rita arrives with vanzilla, as Lincoln and Lori put their suitcases inside and hop in the back)

Rita: So kids, how was your time at the resort?

Lincoln: It was great Mom! We got to do all kinds of fun stuff!

Lori: We went swimming, danced, played tennis and Lincoln won a Slurpee contest against me!

Lincoln: Yep!

Rita: Wow, it sounds you two really enjoyed spending time together.

Lincoln: We did Mom. (puts his hand on Lori's lap) We really did.

(Lori smiles at Lincoln reminding her of the fun time they had at the resort. They spend the rest of the trip talking as they make their way back home from their weekend away at the resort)
