14. chapter 13

I'm still alive! heh so so sorry for the long update, a lot been going on at my place plus, I been reading a lot of other fanfic which had filled me up with so many new ideas but I not going to work on them yet, I going to finish this fanfic before I start anything new, also shout out to the 3 or 4 one piece fans out there cause they was able to guess the song name in the last chapter which was one piece: bink sake. also thanks to people who had comments names for the store and I had picked one lucky name, I will explain at the end but that is enough of me talking, time to start reading.

Lincoln had looked zeno and xeno "umm is... Zeno and xeno your real name's?" He asked, never hearing of a name that had started with a Z or X before.

They smiled and shook their heads "no, it one of our many nicknames that people give us" one said making Lincoln nod his head in understanding

"What are your real name's?" Lincoln asked making them laugh as if he just said a joke

"Heh sorry cutie but we don't tell people our name not even Sam, tabby, or Luna. Know our real names" one said as the other one started to talk "that just the way it is" she said making Lincoln nod "but you can call us whatever you want"

Lincoln had nodded and rub the back of his head "so why are y'all here" zeno or xeno asked them

"We are just hanging out, also my bro here might become a rocker!" Luna said excited, making them smile at the news.

"Awesome, what do you play!?" One of the twins asked

"Oh um... Just a bit of guitar" lincoln lied as he actually knew how to play piano, electric guitars, and even a bit of violin.

Tabby had looked at Lincoln since she had knew he was lying but didn't say anything because it wasn't her place to tell them he was lying, also she was sure he would tell them the truth in time.

"Heh awesome, we will have to see what you can do when we have the time" they said making Lincoln look at them confused.

"Heh we have a business to run kid" one said making Lincoln nod

"You work here, I take it" Lincoln asked making them nod.

"Zeno is in charge of making sure everything is in order while, I run the cash register" the twin with the shaved head said meaning that she was xeno and the one with the full head of hair was zeno.

Lincoln had looked around "where is the owner of the place" he asked making zeno and xeno laughed as if he had just told another joke

"You are looking at them, we are the owners" zeno said making Lincoln eyes widened.

"What!?" Lincoln said shocked as they looked like they was still in school.

"Heh yup, our old man, own the place then he had passed it down to us" zeno said as her and xeno had sighed and smiled "he could of had made it as a rock star but he didn't care about that, he had a dream that he had passed down to us" she said making Lincoln smile and nod

"Now if you excuse us, we have work to do, Lincoln as a welcome gift to our shop and hopefully a life as a rocker, like Luna. We will give you a 5% off discount on any accessories we have" zeno said making Lincoln smile

"Thanks" he smiled, the twins smiled and ruffled up his hair before they had went to work.

Tabby grinned and wrapped her arm around his shoulder, smiling at him which he had returned "come on, let keep looking around" she said making him nod and they had left to walk around the store, leaving Sam and Luna alone.

Luna had turned to Sam happily as neither of them had to say anything, since Sam had knew how happy Luna was.

Tabby and Lincoln was at the guitar section, both was playing with a certain guitar that had caught there attention, "so Lincoln, when will you tell everyone you know how to play and sing" tabby said as she had looked at him.

"I... Umm... I don't really know... Soon maybe" Lincoln said as he haven't really thought about it.

"Hopefully, mate. You got a amazing voice, you shouldn't be trying to hide it, I know I like hear it, so would the other's" tabby said as she had praised him.

They had both blushed a little bit as tabby realized she basically told him she liked the sound of his voice.

"T-thanks" Lincoln said trying to hide his blush, tabby was trying to hide her as well the didn't know what to say as things became awkward.

While the two was having their awkward moment, Luna and Sam was sitting near the stage, talking to each other about earlier, "so you really think she have feeling for him?" Luna asked Sam.

Sam laughed under her breath "yeah, mate. Can't you see it!? The hugging, the laughing, the blushing. How can you not see it" she said as she noticed Luna was looking down with a unsure look on her face "unless... You do see it but don't want to accept it" she said, Luna stayed quiet

"Luna, what is it?... Do you think tabby is not good enough to be with Lincoln?" She said making Luna head snap up to look at her

"No, that not it!" Luna yelled, making a few look at them, Luna had clear her throat as she had looked at Sam "I... I just don't want him to be hurt again..." She said making Sam looked at her confused

"Again? What are you talking about, he had a girlfriend before" Sam asked making Luna nod her head

"Yeah.. And she was being... Unfaithful..." Luna sighed making Sam eyes widened.

"Aww man... I sorry" Sam sighed and shook her head "when did all of this happen... If you don't mind me asking"

Luna sighed and shook her head "he found out last week but... I sure he knew something was up before then... She had put him though so much hell..." She said

"The whole time we been out he had seem happy and I sure it is mostly because of tabby... You trust her don't you" Sam asked making Luna nod her head "then just let's them go with the flow of things, besides maybe she is the person he need in his life at the moment" she said.

Luna had sighed and nod "yeah... Yeah you are right, maybe she is" she said making Sam smiled causing her to smile as well.

Luna had pulled out her phone and looked at the time "oh it is almost dinner time, we have to go" she said making Sam nod and stood up

"Alright, let's get going but first let's find tabby and Lincoln" Sam said as Luna had gotten up as well and they had went to go looking for the two.

Lincoln and tabby was looking through the CD's, both was talking about bands they had liked and had wanted to go to a concert on day, while they was talking Luna and Sam had found them "yo, it is time to go" Sam said making them look up at them and nod.

"Alright, let's go" tabby said as they nodded and the group had started to leave but Lincoln had stopped as he had remembered something.

"Wait, I will be right back. I need to see something real quick" he said as he quickly went to the check out, leaving tabby, Sam, and Luna behind wondering what he was doing.

Lincoln had went to the check out and saw xeno was done with a customer, Lincoln had quickly went up to her and she had looked at him and smile "hey cutie, find anything" she said making Lincoln shake his head.

"N-no but I want to know if you had anything I could hold this in" Lincoln said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out tabby guitar pick that she had let him have and shown it to her.

Xeno had looked surprised as she had looked at the pick "that is tabby special pick, how come you have it?" She asked

"Tabby had gave it to me as a special gift" Lincoln said to her, xeno had looked at Lincoln as she knew he wasn't lying but it didn't make sense why tabby would give up the one thing that had ment the world to her, she would need to ask her later on but for now she had to deal with Lincoln.

Xeno had looked back at Lincoln "so do you want a key chain or a necklace" she asked as she took the guitar pick and looked at 'this is definitely tabby's' she thought

"Can I get a necklace" Lincoln said and she nodded and pulled out a hole puncher, Lincoln eyes widened as he looked at her "s-stop, what are you doing!?" He asked

"I have to put a hole in it so I can put it on the necklace, what up" she told him as she stopped what she was doing

"I-is there way for you to not have to put a hole in it... I don't want to damage it in anyway... " he told her as she had looked at him, seeing he was really worried about it

A small smile made it way to her face as she had put the hole puncher down "let me see what I can do" she told him as she knew exactly what he wanted, she walked from behind the counter and over to the guitar section, looking around before she had grabbed 2 small packages and went back behind the counter and placed the 2 packages down in front of him.

Lincoln had looked and saw they was guitar pick pendant with a small hole at the top with a plain black necklace already attached, each a different color "so which one you want, epic black or timberwolf gray, we got more colors but these colors would look good with the pick" xeno explain as Lincoln had looked at them then at the pick

"Can I get the black one" Lincoln said as the pendant was the same color black as the pick, which Lincoln had really liked.

Xeno had nodded and took the pendant out, tossing the box it was in, in the trash before she had grab Lincoln's pick and place it in the pendent without any problems, since it had stretched a bit to fit.

Xeno had looked at the pick that was now perfectly in the pendant before she showed it to Lincoln, watching his eyes light up like a kid on Christmas morning causing her to smile "I take it you like it?" She asked and Lincoln had nodded his head.

Xeno had grabbed the necklace and placed it on Lincoln for him, smiling as he had looked so happy "heh tell you what, it is on the house" she said making him nod, they both looking at the pendent was now hanging on the black necklace from around his shoulder

"Xeno... Thank you" Lincoln said looking at her smiling, she smiled and pet his head "I will come back next time, bye" he said as he left, waving at her and she had returned the wave, watching him leave.

Lincoln had regrouped with Luna, tabby, and Sam and they had all looked at him, noticing the necklace and the pendent at the end of it, and a very familiar black and purple pick in the middle of it.

Sam and Luna smiled then turned and started to leave while tabby had looked at Lincoln, her cheek started to heat up as she looked at his smile, she turned her head and clear her throat "c-come on, linc we need to go before they leave us" she said as she tried to joke but her voice failed her

"Alright, let's go" Lincoln said as they had started to leave, while walking Lincoln had looked back at the store name since he didn't last time

"Empire of music" a blue neon sign had read and under it was a small sign "home of rock n roll"

"Empire of music... Awesome" Lincoln smiled as he went back to walking.

Sam, Luna, tabby, and Lincoln had gotten into Sam's car and she had drove everyone back home, first dropping Luna and Lincoln home "I will message you later, tabby" Lincoln told Sam and she nodded, watching as Lincoln and Luna walked back inside.

All of his sister was in the living room and they had looked at luna and Lincoln entering the house "where have you two been" luan asked as they other had nodded, asking the same question.

"Me and bro had just went to the mall" Luna said and they had looked shocked, looking at Lincoln.

"YOU wanted to go to the mall!? What the big ideal" lola asked walking up to Lincoln but noticed the necklace "what that? Where did you get it" she said as she tried to touch it but Lincoln had quickly grabbed it, stopping her.

"It was a gift and I don't want anyone to touch it cause it mean a lot to me" Lincoln had told her which had caught his sisters by surprise "I sorry... but I don't want anything to happen to it" he told and she nodded.

"I understand, it the same as Lori and her phone" she said making the other laugh, Lincoln had went to the living room and took the necklace from around his neck and shown everyone the necklace and the guitar pick, unknowingly that Lori had looked at Luna seriously and Luna had nodded just as serious.

After everyone had looked at the necklace, Lincoln had put the necklace back on around his necklace, Lori had spoke up "Lincoln, we need to talk. Lynn you too so come on" she said making them gulp and the 3 had went upstairs and into Lori and Leni shared room.

Lori had closed the door behind her and looked at the two "so you two... Was there a fight a school today" she said looking at them.

"W-what are you talking about" Lynn laugh nervously.

"Well today Bobby told me his... His sister came back in pretty bad shape, so was there a fight" she said and Lynn shook her head and she looked at Lincoln.

"Lynn had punched her after school but I had stopped it, so nothing really happen" Lincoln said nonchalantly which had surprised the two "I had explain what she do was wrong so she won't do something like that again" he explained and Lori was at a lost for word.

"U-umm... O-ok" she said as she didn't really know what else to do or say, she had shook her head and sighed, opening the door "you two, out" she said and they had nodded and quickly left.

After that the rest of the night went by pretty fast, everyone had ate dinner, took their baths, and Lincoln had went to his room so he could message tabby, meanwhile there was another sister meeting.

"So Luna, what the deal with that necklace, and him wanting to go to the mall" Luna asked and the others nodded.

"It seem my friend had took a interest into Lincoln and she had gave him her special pick that meant the world to her, but that all I know" she explain and the girls had let out a small 'Awww'

"So that must of been the person he been talking to for the pass few days" leni said making the other nod.

"We mustn't interfere" Lucy said getting everyone attention.

"Why shouldn't we" lola asked.

"We had pushed Lincoln to Ronnie Ann and look at what happened" Lucy said making everyone look down sadly, even she didn't like using that against them but it had to be done "that is why we need to just let Lincoln handle this and help when he ask for it, but other than that... There nothing we can do" she explain making the other sigh and nod.

"Well I guess this mean this meeting is over than" luan said and Lori had nodded.

"Yeah, it time to go to sleep anyway, so this meeting is official over" she said and everyone nodded and left, going to their shared room, thinking about tomorrow.
