1 Shattered Smiles

Royal Woods Michigan, an ordinary, peaceful and kinda boring suburban place, this only for the people who passed by. The people who lived here known Royal Woods is not normal and the main culprits are a family of 13 people. Yeah you heard a family of 13 people 2 parents and 10 GIRLS and 1 boy... Well kinda.

«Sorry ma'am we still didn't find your boy»

*Thud*

The phone from where this cursed sentence was heard fall on the floor together with the person who held it.

This woman have blond hair short till right above her shaking shouders and blue eyes who tears fall down without sign of stopping.

«Ma'am? Ma'am! Your there? Can you hear me?»

Her trembling hands take the phone off the floor and bring it to her ear.

"Ye-yes mister policeman I can hear you perfectly, thank you for your help"

The woman close the call before the policeman could say something else and broke down crying her eyes out.

This poor woman was Rita Loud the mother of 11 beautiful children and unfortunately one of them is missing.

Lincoln Loud her only son was been missing for one year already. Nobody knows where he is and if is still alive but his family never stop to search for him.

His 10 sisters...

Lori Loud 18 years the oldest and the one who keep an eye on her siblings when her parents are out, and when I said "keep an eye on" it means going full military mode and dominate everyone (even the pets) with a fist of steel. Even if most of the time she can be bossy, she can be also be very fragile and understanding. When she hear about Lincoln she was the one who cried the most even now when she hear his name you can clearly see some tears in her blue eyes. She never cried in front of her family but they could heard her every night over their own cries for their dear brother.

Leni Loud 17 years old she is the most purest in the Loud family... Ok scratch that, she's definitely in top 10 the purest in the whole world. She is very naive most of the time and if you ask her about Albert Einstein she would think she is a person who just moved out in the Royal Woods, but if you ask her about mode and how you made a dress this girl can let you with your mouth open her knowledge about mode surpass even some people who did this all their life and her clothes can be confused with real pieces of art. She is the most caring person in the family always ready to give her best so everybody to be happy. When she heard about her little brother disappear, she taught it was a joke when she realized the cold truth she cried without stopping till she pass out. She was the one who took his disappearing the hardest. Now, Leni never spoke again, nobody could make her speak, even so her smile never leave her face, 24/7 she will smile even she know she can't fool nobody, her smile is still on her face but her eyes empty from any emotion.

Luna Loud 16 years old she is the musician of the family with a strong love for rock. She's the loudest of the Loud family who can literally blow you off the floor with her rock guitar. Even if she is the rocker of the family she also the most understanding making her the perfect person to confess to. After her little brother went missing her jam sessions became more frequently but she would never smile or even look happy also her happy and energetic tones change to loud and simply rock some of her fans miss her energy but her new ones love her powerful and mysterious tones that can make you jump on your feet. Unfortunately it doesn't matter if her popularity rise or even been invited to play her music in bars and even open concerts. She would never smile, her family and friends didn't even remember the day when they last saw her smile. She is still that carefree sister but now all her energy and enthusiasm were long gone.

Luan Loud, 15 years old. She is the comedian and also the prankster of the family her bad puns always annoying her family and her prank can bring shivers down their spine (especially on April Fool Day) even if she's the clown of the family she can be very mature she run her own online bussiness, where she brings entertainment at parties for children (and sometimes even teens) in the Royal Woods, she encourage her family members in their goals and she always give her hardest to make her dream come true. After Lincoln disparition, like all her sister she broke down crying, she took a break from her bussisnes but after some weeks she came back. Some of her friends became worried about her but at school her smile and puns always brings a smile on their faces and her comedies act at parties and events her puns became even funnier. However when she come back in the loud house her happy act is out. When she is at home she never smile or make puns or even jokes and the April fool a day she loved and waited every year it became a simple day for her. Her clients, her teachers, friends, boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend) think she accepted the tough of her brother disappearing and she came back long time ago at her old self, but the truth is the old Loan Loud died long ago, her family knows this perfectly, like Leni her smile look genuinely but if you look closely in their eyes you'll see how empty they look.

Lynn Jr, 14 year old. She is the athletic of the family and she is in almost every sport team in the school. She is very competitive, loving to win in every game her family play also her passion for game can be a bit annoying for the rest of the family but when member of her family is in danger or bullied she is the first to give advice how can they protect themself and to beat the crap of the who dare to mess with her family. She is very loyal even if she in a middle of a something important she will surely let everything down for her family and her friends. After Lincoln disappearing she was devastated she is blaming herself again and again even is not her fault. Her brash personality rise at a dangerous level even the teachers are afraid of her. She never got in any real trouble because all her fights were for self-defense from jerks she usually ignore before. Last time when a fool dare to make fun of her he was carried by an ambulance to hospital, even now he can't sit down. Without Lincoln Lynn became a real demon outside but when she is in the Loud House all that powerful and dangerous personality disappear immediately leaving just a 14 years girl who miss her little brother. She always cry in her room when she is alone.

Lucy 9 years old, she is the goth of the family always writing her poems and trying to contact the after life. She prefer night and her eyes been always hide by her bangs nobody saw her eyes. She always wear a expressionless face and a soft and neutral voice. Even if her family always stick their noses in her bussisnes and even ruin her work, she loves her family with all her heart so when they need help she will definitely sacrifice everything to help them. Lucy always ask for Lincoon advice when she is stuck with ones of her poems, and when she have an interesting dream she always tell Lincoln first (even if is the middle of night or he don't listening) Lucy like dark places when she simply pop out of nowhere she can scare her family pretty bad. After Lincoln disappeared, she tried every single night to contact the spirits from the after life to help her.... and after months she tried to contact Lincoln himself fortunately he didn't respond. If somebody outside of family would saw her, they would definitely said that she didn't change at all, but her family knows. Like Lenny she didn't speak or made a sound. She didn't even hide in her dark places or go in the vents. She would every night always contact the spirits begging them to tell her where is Lincoln, and the rest of the day she would just sit in the couch, without moving or sometimes turn on the TV.

Lana 7 year old. Lana is the identical twin sister of her roommate Lola and was born two minutes before her she's a tomboy who loves to play in the mud and get her hands dirty. Lana is a skilled handy worker, plumber, and mechanic who loves animals (mostly frogs and reptiles) that she will defend from any possible harm. She also has a close bond with her sister Lola, who she hangs out and works together with. Nobody can't deny if is wasn't for her the house would collapse long ago. After her only brother disappear she didn't play in the mud anymore or even do something that will make her dirty her hand or clothes. She don't speak with her family or friend too much and prefer the company of her animals her family tried to speak with her or at least make her open up but it only end with failure when she would shake her head slowly with a expressionless face holding tight the dog of the family, Charles.

Lola 7 years old only 2 minutes younger than her twin Lana. Lola is a "Princess" who plots and schemes to get her way, and becomes maniacal if her siblings or anyone else angers her in any way. Lola is constantly entered in child beauty pageants. Lola is shown to constantly tattletale out loud on her siblings (mostly Lincoln) when they confess quietly to what they did. Underneath her selfish and mean-spirited demeanor, she is shown to be forgiving and affectionate to others and self-admits to being a "crazy pants" sometimes. Like her sisters after the Lincoln disappeared her life changed. She made a break from pageants so she can cry in her room till she run out off tears. When she came back in the pageant world. In the first pageant the one of the judges asked her "What is her biggest wish?". Originally she would said something about the helping poor people, helping the planet to heal, more education for children in the world and other sweet and caring shits the pageants girls would say but something happen. She wanted to say about improvement of the education for children and act sad but she didn't realized she was crying for real, she tried to put a smile and to stop her tears but in that moment it was impossible for the little girl. "My brother disappear, I miss him more than anything, my biggest wish is to see my big brother again" she said this sad sentence between sobs and tears on tv. When realized what she said she ran off the scene and she didn't come back for the rest of the show but her confession bring the judges in tears and make her automat the winner of the competition. Lola continue to go to competitions but when somebody ask about her brother she said nothing she pretend that person ask her something different and continue with her act of little princess.

Lisa 5 years old, Lisa is a child prodigy and gifted child who has a Ph.D. but is currently in first grade by her own choice (formerly in kindergarten). Lisa enjoys solving complex equations, math problems, and performing elaborate experiments where she often uses her unaware siblings and Clyde as test subjects. Lisa often uses formal and detailed terms to refer to basic things before saying it in layman's terms. She often tends to be quite reckless and unethical with her experiments but she is a good-hearted girl down to her core. After her big brother disappearing she stopped her experiments that she loves so much to search for her brother. She made deals with NASA, FBI,CIA and even with the president of the unite states. He decline at first but after some strong "convince" from Lisa he was more than happy to collaborate with the young genius. All her time was fill with the finding of her brother and nothing else some of her family put their hopes in her and some of them tell her to stop but Lisa never give up if her brother was somewhere she will give her all to find it, even if it kills her.

Lily 2 years old. She is just a baby so when their family told them about Lincoln disappearing she didn't understand but she saw the sad faces of her parents and sisters and wanted to conform them. When she cried or had a really bad day her brother would always put the Fenton the Feel-Better Fox costume (with Leny help the full body costume became an adorable pair of red fluffy ears, a red t-shirt, pink jacket, red jeans with a fluffy red tail and black sneakers.) and sing her favorite song that almost bring their family to madness and make her fell better but he never come. One day Lily go to her brother room but he was not there she searched for him everywhere in the house and when she tried to go outside to look for her dear brother she was found by her parents and put back in her bed. She waited for her brother but he never came. That make her cry more frequently nobody couldn't stop her till one day her ever smiling Leni came with a orange t-shirt Lily didn't want a t-shirt she wanted her brother but when she took the t-shirt to throw it she felt her brother smell and calm down immediately. Her crying stopped but if someone try to take her t-shirt she would cry till she will got it back.

The parents tried to act tough for their family but they failed miserable, especially Rita who alwsy had a special bond with only son.

The family Loud was broken and remain broken till their brother and son came back. Who knows, they wish will come true someday but I sure hope to they can handle it.
