After about an hour of misery, Lincoln had had enough. He couldn't endure another moment of that God-forsaken suit, and nobody was going to make him keep it on.

"That's it. I've had it. This thing is coming off."

He grabbed the head of the mascot suit, pulled it off, and threw it down onto the sandy floor, revealing a scowling, sweat-drenched face covered in blotches of red. Predictably, this provoked an indignant reaction from his family.

Lisa: That... is a sickening image...

Luna: [screech] I can't even imaging my bro looking like that.

"What are you doing?!" cried Lola. "Put that back on!"

Lana: [cringes] No... please don't.

Lincoln: I'm getting so many uncomfortable memories from this.

"No!" snapped Lincoln, as he forced himself out of the body and kicked it over. "I'm not wearing that stupid thing anymore! I refuse!"

"Lincoln, we've been over this," said Lynn Sr., using his most authoritative voice. "You need to keep that costume on or there's no telling what'll happen to us!"

"Yeah! What if we get stung by a jellyfish?" asked Lola.

Lincoln swung towards Lola, locking his furious, bloodshot eyes onto her. His vision was marred by the droplets of sweat seeping into his eyes, stinging them.

"We're at a lake, you idiot! Freshwater jellyfish don't sting!"

Everyone gasped, appalled that the normally forgiving Lincoln would address his little sister in such a way.

"And by the way, while all of you have been having a great time, I've been absolutely miserable!" he shouted, turning towards the rest of the family. "I'm broiling, I'm thirsty, I haven't been allowed to go in the water, and five minutes ago, three strangers pointed at me and called me a furry! I don't even know what that is, but I'm sure it's not a compliment!"

Lincoln: I don't know if I should laugh or... nope. I ain't laughing.
