Lincoln was stunned silent, he's heard of the Hex girls before they were a famous band that was on tour. His
sisters Lori, Leni, Lune, and Lucy were fans as well as many of their friends.
"Haha ha" Luna(H) laugh "You look so shock I'm surprised that you didn't recognized us, usually we can't go out
without being in disguise or else we'll be surrounded by fans" Thorn and Dusk nodded
"Ya and we like the attention sure, but we also want to be able to go out without being swarmed by fans with no
way out" Dusk stated "That's why we almost always leave early to get some peace"
"I can see what you mean, It must be hard being famous" Lincoln said as he can see where their coming from.
"Like you wouldn't believe" said Thorn before looking at him with a smile "you know its nice to able to talk like
this with someone else it's nice." she said with a small blush for this is the first time they could talk to someone
like this and she liked that.
"Everyone needs someone to talk to, it lets you get a lot of your chest." Lincoln told them as he remembered all
the times his best friend Clyde was there for him to talk to.
Soon enough they reached the mall and after the girls put on their disguise they entered, Once they got in the
girls were so excited and started pulling him from one store to the next. For Lincoln he was use to it and thinks
this is how all girls act, For the Hex girls this is one of the few times they could go shopping without people
bugging them and with someone to hang out with so they got a bit to enthusiastic.
when they got to a clothes store it became like a mini fashion show were they became very passionate about
having him try different outfits as they took pictures.
"Man, they are really into this" Thought Lincoln as he is in his fifth outfit which is a black tuxedo with a orange
tie and black polished shoes as they have him pose. Unknown to him they just what him see him in multiple
different outfits.
After many different outfits and pictures, Lincoln went to the changing room to put on the outfit he picked. As
the Hex girls went through the photos.
"OMG look at him dressed in this one" Dusk said showing them a picture of Lincoln with white pants, an orange
shirt and orange shoes.
"Ohh send me that one and look at him in this one" Luna(H) told them as the picture she had showed Lincoln in
a blue suit with a black undershirt wearing a pair of thin rectangular reading glasses.
"Well he does look cute with the glasses on but I got you both beat." Thorn declared as she showed them a
picture of Lincoln in a pair of black swim trunks with a bright orange lining he was shirtless with a open grey
hoodie on though you can still see his well tone abs.
"WHEN WAS THIS?!?!" Dusk and Luna(H) demanded as they stared at the picture with blushing faces
"When you girls went to grab more clothes I notice that we grabbed these by accident" Thorn admitted with a
blush of her own "but he still tried them on with little to no embarrassment."
"Man for someone so young he's got a nice physique" Luna(H) pointed out noticing his well toned body.
Her band mates agreed as they continued to stare for a bit, but they then thought back to when he was fixing
their van. The way his arms flexed when he was changing the tire, the way he talked to them so casually even
after realizing that their famous, and just remembering the way he smiles made them blush even more as smiles
of their own grew on their faces.

Just then Thorn got a message from their manager Gus Boggs, reminding them what time is rehearsal .
"well girls looks like we got to wrap this up, we have rehearsals soon." said Thorn
"aww really, But I want to spend more time with Lincoln" Dusk said a little upset
"I do to but we still have to practice for the show coming up" Thorn told her
"Well I'm sure you girls will be great" Lincoln said as he approach them in his new outfit
"Well that's sweet of you to say Lin-" Luna(H) was saying as her voice trailed off when she turned to look at
Lincoln only for a blush to appear once more on her face.
"Ba ba ba" Luna(H) stammers
"Luna(H) you good" Dusk asks as she and Thorn looked concerned
Luna(H) just grabs their heads and pointed them in the direction of the approaching Lincoln and what they saw
made them behave the same way.
"Ba ba ba" they stammered in unison
Lincoln's new outfit consists of black leather jacket with a black fur collar with an orange v-neck underneath, he
has on a pair of dark blue jeans and a pair of black shoes, attached to his pants is a silver chain. a2
"Huh this outfit seems to fit me well, must be some of Red's characteristics rubbing o ff on me" thought Lincoln
for even though this is similar to Red's clothing style and not his old one, it feels natural to him.
What he doesn't realize is that he is getting stares from the people around, especially that of the female
population.
"W-wow you look amazing" Luna(H) was able to get out as she was not him to wear this type of outfit, but
couldn't help but think that it suits him well.
"you think so" Lincoln asked as he looked over his outfit
"yes and I just can't help but ask, are you some secret child model or something" Thorn had to ask as everyone
in the store seemed to lean a little in their direction most likely wondering the same thing.
"Ha ha hah haha" Lincoln laugh finding it funny that anyone would think of him as a model "No I'm not but
thats nice that you think so. The Hex girls's blush grew a little when they heard his laugh a1
a3
"Well sense you girls have to get going let me pay for all of this quickly so i don't hold up anymore of your time"
Lincoln said
"We could help, I mean we were the ones who went overboard with shopping" Dusk told him as they were the
ones that went shop crazy just to see him model for them.
"It's fine, I came hear today with the intent to buy new clothes you girls just made it easier." Lincoln stated
before he turned to the nearest employee and asked " how much is all of this"
The employee came over and took out a small device from her her hip and scans the tags" all of this totals to
$2,759.89 plus tax." she reviled.
The Hex girls flinched at the price " Look Lincoln we can help-" Thorn began to say only for Lincoln to takes out a
black and gold debit card and swipes, their was a beep as the employees eyes widen.
"Please let us help pack this up sir" she said as other employees already begun to pack them for him, Lincoln
thanked them as he turns to the Hex girls.
"Like I said it's fine" Lincoln told them
"But-" Luna(H) started
"It's fine" he assured them as he pulled out his new phone, a gift from Green, it's a solid black and according to
the note attached to it this phone has many new feature and way more advance then any phone that will ever be
made as it's self-upgrading.
"Hmm I have to get going to I have to meet my little sister at this cafe her friend recommended." Lincoln said
"Then let us at least give you a lift their" Thorn insisted
"No it's fine I don't want to have you girls go out your way" said Lincoln but then Dusk and Luna(H) hooked their
arms around each of his and as a blush appeared on his face they began to lead him out the store.
"Sorry but we insist, it's the least we can do for showing us a good time" Thorn told him as she grabbed his bags,
as they left the store Lincoln was getting looks of respect and envy from guys but he didn't notice any of them he
only had one thought.
"Man even with my new heighten intelligence I still can't understand girls." Lincoln thought
30 minutes later
(Pov Lucy)
As I sit with Haiku as they talked about the new book of "the vampires of melancholia" I couldn't help think
about this morning.
(Flashback)
As the my sisters and I fought over the last of the breakfast burritos mom entered the dinning room with a
worried expression.
"Honey what's the matter?" Lynn Sr asked noticing the expression on his wife's face
"I went to go wake up Lincoln but he's not in his room" Rita said as we stopped fighting now listening in.
"Oh you don't have to worry he just went to the mall" Lynn Sr revealed
"THE MALL!?!?" we shouted
"why did he go to the mall so early and by himself" Rita asked
"Well this morning when he came down I saw that he hit a major growth spurt and his clothes don't fit him"
Lynn Sr answered
"Called it" Lisa said looking smug
"How major are we talking" Rita asked with on of her eyebrows raised
"He's now taller then Jr and looks so di ff erent, if it wasn't for the white hair I wouldn't have recognized him."
"WHAT HE COULN'T HAVE GOTTEN TALLER THEN ME!" Lynn Jr yelled not believing that her nerdy brother two
years younger got taller then her overnight.
"What if Linky le ft to the mall for new clothes then why didn't he like take us with him? Leni asked "We could
have totes could've helped him.
"YA" the sisters shouted
"Don't you girls have plans already?" asked Rita
They all got quiet as it was true that they've made plans already
"Oh. ya that reminds me" Lynn Sr exclaims as he turned to Lucy "He said to text him the address and that he'll
meet you there."
I nodded as I pulled out my flip phone and sent him the address that Haiku gave me, as I looked at my sisters
and they looked back at me we seem to reach an unspoken agreement and thats for me to keep an eye on
Lincoln.
(Flashback over)
I sigh which caught Haiku's attention
"Is everything alright Lucy something seems to be on your mind" She said
"Do you remember my brother Lincoln" I asked her
she nods "He's your only brother and the one that helps you with your poems right, is their anything wrong with
him?" she asked
"He's been acting different, talking different and now according to my dad he looks different and I'm a little
worried on how different." I told her "This just seemed to happen overnight out of nowhere."
"Has he done anything big that should have you concerned?" Haiku questioned
"Well" I said with hesitation before continuing "Other then eating more and apparently writing songs no"
"Then it should be fine, as long as their are only small changes here and there" She assured me
I think about what Haiku said and realize that she is right we all change a little bit as we grow up and now I feel
silly for thinking that their was anything to really worry about.
"Thanks Haiku" I said with small smile which is a rare thing sense I hardly smile, But I notice that Haiku wasn't
listening anymore as she stares at the direction of the door to the cafe with a wide eye and a blush growing on
her face.
"Ba ba ba" Haiku stammers
"Haiku are you alright" I said with concern
"Sorry I'm late Lucy" I turned into the direction of my brothers voice and what I saw made all the worries return
as I stared in shock at what should have been my nerdy but reliable older brother.
"L-Lincoln?"
