User blog:IronRaphRa/Lincoln's Day Out

“There’s nothing like a nice sunny day,” Lincoln said to himself as he was sitting on a lawn chair reading one of his favourite Ace Savvy comics.

“Hey Lincoln!” A familiar voice called out.

He put down his comic book to see his friends Mollie and Girl Jordan standing in front of the driveway.

“Hey guys,” A smiling Lincoln replied as he put his comic down.

“Is anything going on?” Mollie asked.

“Nothing really,” He told them, “just your average Saturday afternoon.”

“Would you like to hang out?” Jordan asked.

“Sure, I’d like to,” Lincoln replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Just as he finished saying that, he heard loud footsteps coming from the house. Lincoln turned around to see all ten of his sisters looking out the window.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“As long as we do it someplace else,” Lincoln groaned as his face fell.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Mollie and I were thinking of going to the mall,” Girl Jordan said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“That sounds okay,” Lincoln stated.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">The three walked off while the Loud sisters turned to each other.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yay! Lincoln’s going to the mall!” Leni cheered.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Let’s follow them now!” Lola added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“He’ll need our help,” Lana mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah, our bro’s kind of clueless when it comes to girls,” Luna said. <p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;mso-border-bottom-alt:solid windowtext 1.5pt; padding:0in;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language: EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“No,” Lori told them, “we need to give them a ten-minute head start so Lincoln won’t get suspicious.” <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“So where should we go first?” Lincoln asked when he and the others arrived at the mall.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“How about the Fro-Yo store?” Mollie suggested, “we can’t go shopping on an empty stomach.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah,” Girl Jordan added, “you don’t mind, do you Lincoln?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I don’t mind,” Lincoln replied, “I love that place.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">The trio strolled through the mall and it didn’t take them long to arrive at the Fro-Yo store. It wasn’t a long wait before they ordered three fro-yos. As they searched for a table, Lincoln noticed a familiar face.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Stella,” Lincoln said as he and the others approached her.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hi Lincoln,” Stella replied as she smiled, “I take it these are your friends?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yes,” Lincoln mentioned, “this is Girl Jordan, and this is Mollie.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hi,” Girl Jordan said, “you’re the new girl, right?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah,” Stella stated, “I’ve been trying to meet some new people.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Jordan and I have been meaning to talk to you ourselves,” Mollie said as they sat down at Stella’s table.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“So, are you here with anyone?” Lincoln asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“No,” Stella mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Would you like to hang out with us?” Lincoln continued.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah,” Mollie agreed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“We’d be happy to have you come along?” Girl Jordan added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Sure. Where are you guys planning to go?” Stella asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“We’re heading to the arcade first and then going to Reiningers,” Girl Jordan said, “Mollie and I plan to try on some outfits.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“That sounds good,” Stella replied, “you don’t seem to mind Reiningers Lincoln?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Not really,” Lincoln told her, “I usually end up going clothes shopping with my sisters.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Meanwhile, the Loud sisters arrived at the mall to begin their search for their brother.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Remember, we don’t want to draw attention to ourselves,” Lori ordered.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Excuse me,” Leni said to the people passing by, “we’re looking for our brother who’s on a date. This is his picture.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Leni took out a photo of Lincoln while the rest of the sisters facepalmed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“This mall is so big,” Lola complained, “it will take forever to find him.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It looks like we’ll need to take more serious actions,” Lucy said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Then the other sisters turned to Lisa.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Why are you staring at me as if I have microchipped our male sibling?” She asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Well did you?” Lori said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Naturally,” Lisa replied as she took out a tracking device.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Back with Lincoln’s group, they walked to the mall’s arcade and quickly searched through the various games. As Lincoln approached the Alien Hunter game, he noticed another familiar face.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hey Paige!” He called out.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hi Lincoln,” Paige replied, “are you ready to blast some aliens.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I sure am,” Lincoln said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I see you have another friend here,” Stella mentioned as she and the others approached him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yes, this is Paige,” Lincoln explained, “and these are my friends Stella, Mollie, and Girl Jordan.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hi,” The other girls said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hi, I’m getting ready to set a new high score in Dance Battle,” Paige told them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Don’t get so ahead of yourself, I’m a pretty good dancer myself,” Jordan stated as she smirked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“But not as good as me,” Mollie bragged.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You guys haven’t seen me yet,” Stella added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I’m always up for a challenge,” Paige said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">The four girls stepped onto a dance pad and started their game while Lincoln anxiously cheered them on. Meanwhile, his sisters managed to track him to the arcade. The group hid through the various games as they spied on their brother.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It seems our brother has been joined by two other specimens of the female persuasion,” Lisa observed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Ooh Linky you sly dog,” Lola said as she grinned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“But this isn’t a good place for a date!” Leni stated.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“At least everyone’s laughing,” Lori mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Could it be a problem?” Leni asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“If the girls get vicious,” Lori replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You mean like a fight?” Lynn said as she smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yes,” Lori told her.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“That would be under the assumption that that said girls are drama queens like our eldest sibling,” Lisa mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I am literally not a drama queen!” Lori angrily replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Then Lisa looked up something on a smartphone and showed it to Lori.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“What?! Dylan cheated on Kayley!” Lori stated as her eyes started to water, “but they were the perfect couple! How could he?!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Then Lori started to cry while Lisa grinned and Lynn cheered for a fight.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“But it still looks like it will be fun to watch,” Lana said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Back with the others, the Dance Battle round ended with Paige coming out the winner.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah!” She cheered, “don’t mess with the master.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Great job Paige!” Lincoln added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“There are still some other games here,” Mollie said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I can’t wait to show you my skills with the Claw machine,” Stella mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Paige continued to try and beat her score in Dance Battle while Stella tried her luck on the claw machine, Lincoln began playing Alien Hunter to try and beat his high score, and Jordan and Mollie started tossing balls into the skee-ball machine. Then the five of them took turns playing air hockey as they smiled and exchanged playful banter. They finished off by playing other games and winning tickets which they exchanged for prizes. By the time the kids were finished, they had a bag full of various prizes and stuffed toys.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Wow Stella, you got a lot of prizes in that claw game!” Lincoln said with amazement.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“What about us?” Paige asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah, we got some good stuff too,” Girl Jordan stated as the others stared at him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You all did great too,” Lincoln nervously replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Relax,” Jordan said as she and the others started to smile, “we’re just messing with you.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You guys got me good,” Lincoln replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“We’re going to Reiningers, would you like to come?” Mollie asked Paige.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Sounds good to me,” Paige said, “I don’t mind trying on clothes.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“That’s great,” Mollie told her, “I really like hanging out with you.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I like hanging out with all of you too,” Paige mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I’m having a good time too,” Stella added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Lincoln’s sisters couldn’t help but smile as they overheard the girls say that. Then the group walked down to Reiningers while the Loud sisters secretly followed them. It didn’t take long for the five of them to arrive at Reiningers and they were greeted by Miguel.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Lincoln!” He said, “it’s so nice to see you!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hi Miguel,” Lincoln replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I didn’t know you were a regular here,” Stella mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I’m not, but my sister Leni works here and she’s good friends with the other workers,” Lincoln explained.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Why don’t I show you some of our finest clothes,” Miguel said, “and I have some that will look great on you Lincoln.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I think I’ll just watch,” Lincoln groaned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">But what they didn’t know was that the Loud sisters had just arrived at the store.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“O-M-Gosh!” Leni cheered, “they went to Reiningers!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Too bad we can’t go in there,” Lori sadly said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Why not?” Leni asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You work there, and all the employees know you,” Lori explained, “it will be impossible to hide from Lincoln.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“But don’t lose hope eldest sibling,” Lisa said as she took out a robot that looked like an ant, “I have invented this micro-spy; all we have to do is release this little guy into the store and we can watch our male sibling from any other place without getting suspicious.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Why didn’t you mention that before?” Lola angrily asked, “it would have made our jobs a lot easier.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Because the range on this robot is limited and can only pick up signals from twenty feet away,” Lisa explained.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Whatever just use your robot Lisa,” Lori stated.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Lisa released her spybot and it walked into the store, where it quickly spotted Lincoln. The sisters made their way to the food court where they sat down at the nearest table. Lisa took out a remote with a video screen on it and she turned it on to see Lincoln and the others walking through the store.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Miguel led Lincoln and the girls over to the kid’s sections and the girls looked at the various tops, jeans, skirts, and accessories.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I hope they have some game related clothes,” Paige said, “I like those ones.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Me too,” Stella added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Look at all those hairbows!” A fascinated Girl Jordan stated.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“And these jackets look perfect,” Mollie mentioned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It’s just like shopping with Lori and Leni,” Lincoln thought. “but a lot quieter.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Lincoln smiled as he watched the girls gather various clothes. Back with the sisters, some of them didn’t seem too pleased with what was going on.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Well this is boring,” Lynn complained, “watching the girls try on clothes is no different than watching Lori and Leni try on clothes.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Well that was a creative analogy,” Lisa sarcastically replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Whatever, I’m checking out the sporting goods,” Lynn said as she walked off.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“And I’m heading to the music store,” Luna added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“And I’m going to the pet store,” Lana stated, “maybe they’ll have some free samples of dog biscuits.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I think I’ll go to Jane’s Joke Shop, Lincoln’s latest activity is making me antsy,” Luan laughed, “get it?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Wait you guys!” Lori called out, “what if Lincoln leaves for another place?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">But the other sisters didn’t hear as they walked away. At that time, Lincoln stood by the dressing room as the girls tried on different outfits they picked. Then the girls came out and Mollie was wearing a dark red jacket, Paige was wearing a sky-blue tank top with a Muscle Fish logo on it, Stella was wearing an orange shirt with blue stars on it, and Girl Jordan was wearing a sparkling blue hairbow.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You all look great,” Lincoln said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Thank you,” The girls replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“But why didn’t you get anything Girl Jordan?” Lincoln asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Didn’t you see my hairbow?” She said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Oh yeah,” Lincoln mentioned, “sorry.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“That’s fine, I know boys can be a little clueless when it comes to fashion,” Girl Jordan teased.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah, my sisters say the same thing,” Lincoln replied as he unwittingly stepped on Lisa’s robot. Said robot was completely smashed and the camera started fritzing out. Lisa pushed the buttons on her remote with no luck.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I guess I didn’t consider the concept of a strong force coming on top of my spybot when I made it,” Lisa said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“So, what do we do now?” Lola asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Luckily, I have a helicopter drone that can spy on our male sibling,” Lisa said as she took out a yellow robot as big as a basketball.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Lincoln will literally see that,” Lori stated with an annoyed tone in her voice.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“And what do you suggest we do?” Lisa replied with a similar tone in her voice.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Gather everyone and find our brother,” Lori commanded.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Gao!” Lilly cheered.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Back with Lincoln’s group, the girls purchased their clothes and they all walked out of the store with Lincoln carrying the bags. Luckily for him, the bags were a lot lighter than the ones he tended to carry when Lori and Leni go shopping.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“So, what should we do now?” Mollie asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Let’s go to my place for a snack?” Girl Jordan suggested.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Sure,” Everyone replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">The five friends got on the next bus that headed down to Girl Jordan’s house. Once the group arrived, they sat down for a snack of milk and cookies.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“You have a nice place,” Stella said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Thanks,” Girl Jordan replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Would it be okay if I checked out your back yard?” Lincoln asked once he finished his snack.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Go ahead,” Jordan told him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Lincoln walked outside, and his attention was drawn to the pool. He stood close by it and looked at the diving board.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It sure is a nice pool,” He thought, “sooner or later I’ll win the cannonball record back from Mollie.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">The girls looked outside and large grins grew on their faces. They slowly walked outside while Lincoln was lost in thought.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Hey Lincoln, isn’t that the Ace Savvy blimp?!” Mollie called out.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Where? I don’t see …”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Then Girl Jordan and Mollie shoved him, and he fell face first into the pool. Lincoln quickly recovered and swam to the surface, which was filled with the sounds of the girls laughing.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Nice belly flop Lincoln,” Mollie teased.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It’s still a better splash than you’ll ever make!” Lincoln replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Wanna bet,” Mollie stated.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Then she kicked off her shoes, jumped up, and performed a cannonball that landed right next to Lincoln. The splash soaked Lincoln’s white hair even more than it had already been.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Still the best,” Mollie bragged once she swam to the surface.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">Lincoln smiled and responded by splashing his friend. Mollie laughed and started to splash him back. Jordan, Paige, and Stella took their socks and shoes off and jumped in the pool with their friends. Soon the game turned into a free-for-all splash fight with each kid splashing everyone in their path while laughter filled the air.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">During that time, Lori gathered up all her sisters and they tracked Lincoln down. Lisa released her helicopter drone and used it to spy over the wall.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“So, what do you see?” Lori anxiously asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It appears the girls have shoved our male sibling into the pool,” Lisa observed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Are they upset?!” Leni gasped.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Actually, they appear to be having fun,” Luan said as she looked at them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Then why did they push him in?” A confused Leni asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“It’s just a way to have fun with somebody you like,” Luan explained.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Okay,” Leni replied as she smiled, “I’ll be sure to push Chaz into a pool the next time we’re at a house with one.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“I guess Lincoln didn’t need our help after all,” Lucy said.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“He’s becoming a real gentleman,” Lola added.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“Yeah, we don’t need to worry about him anymore,” Lori stated, “from now on, we’ll just spy on him just to see how he’s doing.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">The girls agreed and headed back to the Loud House. Luna turned around and took one last glance at her brother and his friends.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:107%;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA" lang="EN-CA">“What a mighty good man,” She said to herself.
