(No POV)
"L-Lincoln?"
Lucy could believe what she was seeing, her brother looked completely different, he was taller and seem to have
put on muscle, his chipped bucktooth is gone now replaced with a set of straight healthy teeth and his face lost
any baby fat it had as it's now more defined and held a mature look.
Looking at his outfit made Lucy nervous, not that it looked bad or anything he looks great. she always knew a
little black would look good on Lincoln, but she had always like his orange polo and blue jeans look, even if she
had a small hope that he might become a goth too, she would never change the outfit and now her brother is
walking up to her looking like he's in a gang and the way he wore the outfit made it seem natural to him.
Lucy looks to her side to a still stunned Haiku who is gazing with a love struck expression, She then looks around
to see many of girls in the cafe with the same expression on their faces.
"What is happening? Haiku was wrong so wrong this is a big change and now I can't help but worry" thought
Lucy as Lincoln made it to their booth.
"Hey Lucy I'm not late am I?" Lincoln asked
"N-No, I actually thought that you'd be here a little later" Lucy stuttered
"Ya I made some new friends that are new in town and they gave me a lift" Lincoln said as he thought back on
the Hex girls.
(Flashback)
A ft er getting dragged back to the Van, Lincoln gave them the address to the cafe and they set o ff . On the way,
they got to know each other better. They told Lincoln all the places they've been on their tour and showed him
photos they've took.
Lincoln told them many of the crazy shenanigans he's gotten into in royal woods and about his family, a ft er
showing them a picture of his family they almost flipped.
" I can't believe you have 10 sisters" said Dusk shocked by the absurd number.
"I Just have one question-" Luna(H) started before being cut o ff .
"If it's what I think it is than yes they have heard of protection and birth control and no they clearly didn't use
any" Lincoln said guessing her question as a moment of silence fell.
"you get asked that a lot don't you?" Thorn asked eyeing him
"More than you could ever know" Lincoln answered silence fell once more before they all started to burst into
laughter. soon they reached the cafe and as Lincoln was getting out Thorn grabbed his hand.
"Wait Lincoln take these" Thorn said as he gave him a ticket to their concert and a backstage pass.
"The concerts in 3 days, w e hope to see you there. She told him
"Are you sure you just want to give me them?" Lincoln asked as the concert tickets are sold out and here he is
getting one and a backstage pass for free.
"Of course, that's why were giving them to you" Dusk assured him
"Well if your sure, thanks and if you girls ever want to hangout give me a call" Lincoln told them as he pulled out
his phone to give them his number.
"Well look at you, giving three beautiful girls your number" Luna(H) said in a teasing tone "you planning to ask
us for a date" Luna(H) most to tease but held a little hope the same with Thorn and Dusk
Lincoln blushed a little but said calmly "No thats not what this is"
Dusk playfully pouted "Aww so you don't think we're beautiful" She teased as the others got into it
Ok Lincoln is now growing nervous but then he began to calm down almost instantly as he looked them in
they're eyes and said "Of course your all beautiful, in my eyes each of you's are a rare beauty that I would be a
fool not to see. a1
That got them to blush hard as they didn't expect him to say that with a straight face and they could tell that he
meant every word.
"W-well we have got to go, but it was great meeting you" Thorn stuttered with her face
'ya but we can't wait to see you again" Luna(H) said as Dusk nodded, a ft er Lincoln closed the Van door they
started driving, Leaving Lincoln to go join up with his sister as he thought about his time with them.
"Man, I can't believe how much fun I had just getting clothes, though their faces were red for nearly the whole
time." Lincoln thought "I hope their not coming down with something" He thinks like a dense idiot.
(Flashback Over)
"I had fun"Lincoln said as Lucy is now freaking out on the inside "Lincoln never has fun shopping" Thinking
back to what he said he appeared to have made friends with some people out of town.
"So are these new friends the reason for your new outfit?" Haiku asked as she started to come to her senses
though their's still a tint of pink on her pale cheeks.
"No I just wanted to try something different and this seems to fit me better, though I did buy some of the outfits
they picked" As he gestured to the bags he has. " So what are you girls doing?" He asked
"Well we are having a discussion on the new book we are reading." Haiku told him "This cafe is a reading cafe,
it's a great place if you need a quiet place to read with some fresh baked goods though if you are using one of
the cafes books you have to be carful not to damage or stain them or you pay a large fine."
"Well it's a good thing I brought my own" Lincoln told them " Well since you girls had to wait for me let me buy
the snacks." After telling him what they want Lincoln went to go order their cakes, Lucy and Haiku started talking
in hush voices.
"What am I going to do Haiku?" asked Lucy worriedly "Their wasn't suppose to be a big change this is a BIG
change"
"I see what you mean, from the last time I same him he's like a completely different person" said Haiku " But we
just have to keep an eye on him and see what else he does."
"Ya you seem to got that covered so far" Lucy said as behind her bangs you can tell she is giving Haiku a side-eye
look with a tiny smirk.
Haiku turned away with a blush but not denying that she did like what she saw. Soon Lincoln came back with
three plates of cake, two red velvets for Lucy and Haiku and one lemon cake for himself, he also brought them
earl grey tea to enjoy as they read.
Two hour has past and even though the two goths try to focus on their book, Everything Lincoln does drives
their attention away for Lucy it was the book her brother had brought, it was a brown colored book with four
black markings on the cover symbols nothing else "When he said he brought a book to read I thought it would
be a comic not THAT "she thought.
Haiku meanwhile was to busy taking in the magnificent sight that was Lincoln Loud, from his posture to the way
he drank his tea, even the way his lips would close around his fork what he takes a bite of cake, it was hard for
her to concentrate on anything else but the white hair wonder before her.
Taking a deep breath and then a sigh Lucy said "Lincoln"
Lincoln looked up from his book when he heard his name " yes Lucy"
"I was wondering on what book your reading" Lucy asked as her curiosity was getting to her.
Lincoln was silent for a moment before asking " Well you know how different religions have different beliefs on
how the world came to be" as they nodded their heads he continued " Well this book i'm reading is a how their
all connected in a way."
The two goths looked at each other and with a nod of their heads looked back at Lincoln" would you tell us it."
asked Haiku
Thinking for a moment Lincoln nodded his head as he began to tell them.
Long ago when their was nothing but an endless void a power of unmeasurable forces was unleashed creating
four beings, brothers in fact each with their own name GOD, DEMON, WOLF, and DRAGON the first of their kinds.
In the void they trained and honed the great power they commanded at their fingertips and then one day they
created a world together, it was beautiful a place they called home, but it wasn't enough they try to split the
world as evenly as they could but they hated it, why must they get a piece of what they created when they did it
together.
Soon enough their argument grew into a fight and each time they traded blows that released great waves of
energy, The world that they created together broke and no matter what they did they couldn't recreate it for
they couldn't join their powers as one until they agreed to go their separate ways.
starting from their point of origin they each chose a direction and from their they created many worlds in which
they rule for many Eons, but as time goes by they slowly missed each other so to honor each other, each brother
created a lesser versions of them their species sharing their name.
More time has passed and the Brothers have each grown bored of existing as they thought back to when they
created their first world together and new what to do.
With all the power they could manage they each created a Goddess with powers that could nearly rival their own
and the task on watching their section of the multiverse before they le ft back to their point of origin.
Once arriving their they were shocked to find each other appear that that exact moment as they rushed into a
brotherly embrace, no words were spoken, no apology was said all their was is understanding and the need to
finally rest and as they did the energy released caused the multiverse to expand evermore.
Thus ends the tale of the four great brothers.
As Lincoln finished he realized that Lucy and Haiku were strangely quiet he looked up as their eyes were wide
but before they could question him for more detail Lincoln got a text from Rita that they should start heading
home.
"Well this was fun but we got to start going home" Lincoln told the two goths
"Thats ok my mom will be here soon anyway" Haiku said "would you like a ride home" she asked
Before Lincoln could answer Lucy said "We would love one thanks Haiku"
"well as long as it's ok with your mom I see turn it down" Lincoln said as he got up
"where are you going" Luck asked
"bathroom" was all that Lincoln said as be made his way there, a few minutes later as Lincoln made his way
back he notices that Lucy and Haiku are gone, Looking around he was able to see them through one of the cafes
windows out side and what he saw made his blood boil.
He saw two burly boys named Hank and Hawk standing over Lucy as she was pushed to the floor Haiku tried to
help her up but she to was thrown to the ground. As he headed to the door only one thought crossed his mind
"They will pay"
(Lucy POV)
A few minutes passed when Lincoln went to the bathroom when Haiku and I went to stand outside to wait for
her mom when we bumped into these two jerks we meet on halloween and they recognized me, from when I
scared them making them drop all the candy they stole from other kids.
I tried to go around them but was pushed to the ground as well as Haiku.
"Well well well what do we have hear" said Hawk with a smirk
"You and your siblings cost us a lot of candy last halloween" Hank said as he cracked his knuckles "now it's time
for payback and your all alone"
As I grew fearful waiting for the inevitable beatdown that was sure to come a random fist came out of nowhere
and socked Hank in the face knocking him on the ground.
"OW" Hank said in pain "who did that?!"
As I look to the person the fist is attached to I see that it's Lincoln, I was about to tell him to run "it doesn't
matter how much di ff erent you look Lincolns never been able to fight" I thought but the expression on his face
left me shaking.
His face was twisted in an expression of upmost fury as he charged at them, He jumps and knees Hawk in the
face, then turned around, grabbed Hank by the helm of his shirt and started to beat his face in.
Hawk slowly recovers as he sees his friend getting a brutal beating that's when he finds a thick tree branch like a
bat and got a look on his face that worried me as he picked it up and charged at Lincoln. I was about to shout
out to warn him, he suddenly turned around and caught it with one hand than he kicked Hawk in the stomach
followed by an uppercut with his other hand dropping Hank. than he took the branch like bat in both his hands
and broke it in two with little effort.
That got them scared as Lincoln started walking slowly to them, they look like they want to run and might have
actually done so, but before they could take a single step Lincoln spoke.
"Don't move" he said and the way he said it wasn't an order or even a warning, it was an unspoken promise that
it would lead to more pain if they disobeyed.
"So what makes you think you can hurt my little sister and friend" Lincoln asked in a tone that I have never
heard from him before.
"W-we're sorry w-we won't do it a-again" Hank said as he and Hawk started to wet themselves
Lincoln looked at them for a moment before he spoke " If I see you's bully or mess with anyone ever again" He
stated before looking them in the eyes and said with such cooled fury "I won't hold back do I make my self
clear." a1
They both nodded their heads as they were now to scared to speak and as soon as Lincoln started to walk over
to me did they run away in terror.
Once Lincoln reach me and Haiku did his anger got replaced with concern
"Are you both alright" He asked as he pulled us into a protective hug
I didn't answer as I hugged him back and when I did I felt the familiar feeling of being safe and comforted "Just
like his hugs always feel" as I now realize that even with these changes that he's going through he's still the big
brother that cares for me and that made a relax with a small smile on my face.
I turn my head to see Haiku who is also in the hug with a bright red face as the blush is slowly growing darker.
"Oh this is going to be fun to tease her with." I thought several ideas on how to get these two together.
