1. Chapter 1

It was a rather peaceful day in the town of Royal Woods, Michigan, US. One bright Saturday morning, the Loud house was just as it should be. Of course, the house can be a little chaotic at times, but that was just the way it can be once in while considering the fact that the house has eleven children live in it. In it, was the only male sibling, Lincoln.

"Ah, there's nothing like a nice Saturday morning in the Loud House. Remember, if you think it's easy being in a house with ten sisters like me, then you're wrong. It's actually a lot tougher than you think." Lincoln spoke to the audience. "But that's okay, because my sisters are always there for me, even if we all have our ups and downs."

The eleven year old hopped to his feet, and went to the bathroom. "Hi, Lincoln." said a gloomy, deadpan voice. Lincoln yelped and looked at where the voice came from. It was Lucy, the Gothic sibling of the family.

"Oh, hey, Lucy. What's going on?"

"Want to hear my new poem?"

Lincoln desperately needed to go, but decided to hold it since he didn't desperately need to go like before where he was stopped by many of his sisters and Lori teasing him by getting there first. "Sure. I suppose I can hear it." Of course, he began holding his crotch, jumping around a bit.

"Good." The adorable goth girl cleared her throat and began, "Everyone has their own inner darkness, so we can all sometimes be a little heartless. I feel it in my miserable life, for it makes me feel that my heart is being pierced by a Bloody knife. You can scream, but you realize that not all things are as bad as it will seem." Then she put the paper down.

"Wow. That was... Dark and evil." Lincoln said, a little uncomfortable, especially the bloody knife.

"Thank you." She flatly stated "I gotta work on more poems." Then Lucy went downstairs to think of any ideas.

"You do that." Lincoln called to her. The. He continued to the bathroom, and made it. Oh, he felt such sweet relief releasing all that urine from his small bladder

After he was done with his... Delicate business, he went downstairs and saw his sisters gathering around Luna, the heavy metal rockstar, for an unknown reason. Getting a little curious himself, he went to see what it was about.

"check it out, dudes!" Said Luna. She pulled out a rather large looking trophy. "Can you all believe I got this for the best performance at the talent show?"

They all talked to eachother in surprise. Lincoln was equally impressed, showing a big smile on his face, and feeling quite upbeat about it

"That's just like the trophy I got last week for the miss cute and spoiled pageant." Lola pointed."

"Or the one for the fastest texting on a smartphone." Lori added

Turning away once again, Lincoln said "you might have noticed, my sisters all have their own special, unique talent. And me, well... I really don't know what I am good at." Then he felt like he was kind of a nobody for that.

"Oh, Lincoln!" Luna noticed "What's up, little bro?"

"What? Oh hey, Luna." Lincoln replied. "I heard about the trophy, and I want to say congratulations."

"aww, thanks, buddy." Then she pulled Lincoln, playfully giving him a noogie. This made Lincoln a little better, considering the fact that he and Luna have the closest sibling bonding than any other in the Loud family.

"Hey, Linc, wanna practice judo with me in the backyard?" Asked Lynn, the sports fanatic sibling.

the boy had a look of fright, knowing that he could get hurt. "Well, I don't know, I-"

"Perfect!" Lynn interrupted "Come on, let's have fun!" Then she dragged him out the backyard. "Now, try and come at me."

Lincoln was a little afraid, but to make her happy, he tried to grab her, but she dodged and pinned him to the ground. "Ahh, no fair!" Lincoln said

"Come on, Lincoln, give it your best!" Lynn said playfully while laughing.

A little later in the day, Lincoln was still a little sore from all that wrestling with Lynn, but he actually had fun with it, and was lucky that she didn't actually hurt him so much, because normally, Lynn would always be the rough type of girl.

Then he heard a few voices, and looked through the upstairs hallway. He saw his mom and dad congratulating some of his sisters for their recent achievements.

"Luna, we are so proud of you." Said the dad. "Oh, you are a truly gifted musician." Then he gave her a hug.

"thanks, dad." Luna replied

Lincoln went up to them to say hi "uh, hey guys, how's it going?" He said a little awkwardly, and they all looked at him.

"Oh, hi, honey." Said Rita, the mom. "We just wanted to congratulate your sisters on their rewards they received.

Lincoln started to feel a little left out again. "Of course I didn't really get anything. Of course he did get a trophy before from his sisters, but it wasn't really that, he was starting to question on whether he is a bothersome to everyone or not.

"So, we would want to congratulate all of you for all your hard work and achievements." Mr. Loud continued.

"Oh, isn't there anything we could ever want than you girls?"

Lincoln started to feel more left out after his own mother just said that. "Hey, what about me?" He said

"Wh yes, of course, Lincoln." Said Lynn Sr, the dad. Then he looked at his daughters again "you are also one of the greatest things. But man! I am really impressed with your sisters at how gifted they are."

"Grr, just forget it!" At last, Lincoln could bear it no longer, for he was at the breaking point. He thought that maybe was just a little parasite to his own family, like he wasn't even important to his parents. He stormed into his room, and then shut the door so loud that it made a small rumble on the floor.

everyone was quite shocked, and became a little concerned about Lincoln. They all wondered what that little outburst was about.

"What just happened?" Lori asked

"I don't know, but hey, at least he didn't cause the house to blow a fuse!" Luan joked.

They all groaned in irritation at her bad jokes and puns. "Oh that was really good." Lana said sarcastically.

"Oh thanks." Luan replied

"Yeah, I never seen Lincoln do that before." Luna agreed

"Poo poo." Said Lily, the baby.

Both parents looked at each other in worriment and looked at Lincoln's door.

I Need Some Sleep by the Eels plays

Lincoln was in his underpants, and it was bedtime. However, he could not sleep, because he kept thinking if he was more like a joke than a brother, or a son to his family. "What is wrong with me?" He thought, staring at the ceiling. "Am I even wanted here?"

He did think of his best friend, Clyde. Who was best friends with him ever since he was younger.

Lincoln made a little, soft growl in frustration to himself. "Maybe I just need to watch a little TV for a little while, then it's back to bed. Then he got out and looked outside in case everyone in the house was asleep.

The coast was clear. Lincoln silently closed his door and quietly went downstairs, sitting on the couch.

He turned the TV on, and saw that a documentary on Madagascar was playing, and decided to unwind.

He wasn't really watching the screen most of the time, for he was too deep on his own thoughts from earlier, and laid his head on one couch cushion. Was he special? Does anyone even love him, or not? He made another sigh of sadness, and and felt like crying, but he didn't want to, because if he did that, it would wake up the whole house.

He made a sad sigh and laid his head on the pillow.

"Hey, bro." A voice greeted him. Lincoln gasped, and saw Luna, who was on the other side of the couch, looking at him

"Oh. Hey, Luna." Lincoln said in a mildly depressed voice. "What are you doing?

"I was about to ask you the same thing. Whatcha doing up, Lincoln? It's getting late, and you know the high yellow moon isn't out so it can play."

"I know. I know." Lincoln said "I... I can't sleep."

Then Luna sat right beside him. "What's wrong?"

The boy sighed, and replied "Luna, am I... Special?"

She made a confused look on her face "Of course, dude. What makes you think you're not?"

"Well, I see you guys keep winning more and more trophies, and it makes me feel a little, you know, like an outcast and all."

Luna gave him a sympathetic look "oh, Lincoln." She put a hand on his shoulder "Why would you even think that?"

"I don't know," Lincoln replied modestly. "It just... Came to me. And, not to mention that I am the only brother."

The rocker sister really hate seeing her little brother being like this.

"I mean, was this because of my being angry like that?"

"Of course. Everyone was worried." Luna answered, "especially the way you slammed the door like that."

Lincoln made a little breath "Sorry about that. I was just mad."

"It's fine. I couldn't sleep either, because I was worried about you."

"Do you mean that?"

"Heck yeah! Of course I mean that, dude. I am your big sis after all." She winked at him.

This made him feel slightly better. "I mean, what about the times Lori picked on me."

"Ah, don't let it get to your head." Luna scoffed. "She's like that to everyone in the family, since she is the oldest. She is the queen of bossiness after all."

"I know. Look, I just want to know if I am special or not. Because... I'm a little worried that if I am the mistake in the family.

Luna's heart felt like shattering hearing that. "Lincoln, you are special." She reassured him softly. "Let me tell you, you are one of the greatest things to ever happen to me in my life."

"Do you mean that?"

"Of course, bro." Luna smiled at him. "I swear, as your sister, I love you with every beat of my heart."

Lincoln felt more grateful, and was touched.

"You are one of my reasons to live in this world. Without you, Lincoln, well, I don't even know how horrible it would be like without you."

"I... I guess you're right."

"Yeah, and remember when I made your first concert unforgettable, and help you get out of jail? I did it all for you."

"I do remember." Lincoln remarked, "I'm... I'm sorry if I'm acting like this. I'm just a little worried that I am not really wanted hear."

"You are wanted her, Linc." Luna placed her hand back on his shoulder again. "I love you, dude."

"I love you too... Sis."

"Come here, buddy." The she opened her arms and he hugged her, with his hair being gently stroked. "I am always here for you, and so are the rest of our family.."

"I know. I know."

"Hey, would you like to come do something fun with me tomorrow?"

"Hmm, I guess I could." Lincoln replied. "And can Clyde come too?"

"Of course, if you want him too." Luna said

"Good."

"Well, you should get back to bed now."

"well, I still can't sleep." Lincoln argued lightly.

Luna didn't say a word for a few seconds until she finally replied "Well, can I at least watch TV with you?"

Lincoln smiled "sure." Then they both sat in the couch tower, watching the Madagascar documentary. "Ooh. Look at that lemur."

"I know." Luna agreed.

"The indri lemur then makes a mating call high in the trees." The narrator continued. The lemur on TV began to make some peculiar wailing.

"Wow, that lemur looks like it should form a band." Luna joked. They both had a good laugh and enjoyed more of the show.
