"You will really help me" Lincoln asked the twins as they nodded their head.

"Yeah, if you really need our help... Then we will help you Lincoln, because you seem like someone who wouldn't do something without reason" Nikki explain to him, making him smile happily at her.

Lincoln rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at the twins "when all is said and done, I will make it up to everyone" he told them honestly, making them smile before he had looked at tabby, who was smiling at the news "I will go get some stuff figure out" he told her making her nod but looked at the twins.

"Can I get one of your numbers so I can call you later" Lincoln asked either one of the twins, making Nikki nod.

"Sure, you can have mine" Nikki told him as Lincoln pulled out his phone and gave it to her so she could put in her number, once done she had gave it back to Lincoln who had put it back in his pocket.

"Thanks" Lincoln told them before he had walked to the door "tabby are you coming?" he asked as he looked back at her.

"Actually, we want to talk to her for a bit" Angela said making Lincoln nod, understanding before he had left the room, closing the door behind him, leaving the 3 of them alone with each other.

Lincoln had looked around the shop, not seeing his sister or Sam around, he had took this as an opening to leave the shop, going to another part of the mall to set some stuff up for the twins as he started to plan stuff out.

A few minutes had passed as Lincoln phone had went off making him look at it and saw a message from tabby asking him where was he at, he sent a message back to her telling her that he was just a few shops from the music store so he would be there in less then 2 minutes.

Lincoln walked to the store and saw tabby standing outside, leaning against one of the store windows, staring into space, this made Lincoln walk up to her and place a hand on her shoulder "tabby are you okay?" He asked worried.

Tabby had looked at him before she smiled and punched his shoulder "yeah mate, never better hehe I was just thinking is all" she told him making him nod.

"Hey tabby, we got a bit of free time before we go, let go get some ice cream. My treat" Lincoln told tabby with a gentle smile, tabby had looked at him and started to blush making her look away but smiled and nodded.

"A-alright Lincoln, I would like that" tabby said as she had started to walk to the ice cream shop with Lincoln beside her as they didn't talk but just simply enjoyed each other presence.

The 2 soon reach the ice cream bar and ordered their ice creams, Lincoln gotten a simple chocolate cone while tabby had gotten a Rocky road, Lincoln had paid for them before they both started to walk and eat their ice creams.

"Thank you, Lincoln. You didn't have to buy them you know" tabby told him making him smile and nod.

"But I wanted to, you did so much for me and I just want to show you how much I appreciate you" Lincoln said making her eyes widened a bit.

"Heh s-stop it mate, ya embarrassing me" tabby smile as she had distracted herself by eating her ice cream, lincoln smiled as well and ate his ice cream as the both of them had went and sat down near a fountain, watching people walk by, living their lives.

"Tabby... What are you afraid of" Lincoln had ask her suddenly, making tabby looked at him.

"Whoa mate, where did that come from all of a sudden" tabby said as she looked at him but he wasn't looking at her but instead he was looking at everyone who had passed them but she could see a certain look in his eye's, she took a deep breath and shook her head as she licked her ice cream.

"I'm afraid of... Never being good enough to reach my dreams, my family and friends forgetting or not caring about me anymore, and losing people who are important to me... What about you" tabby said quietly while Lincoln had licked his ice cream.

"I'm afraid of losing my family and friends, being hated by people who I care about, being rejected by the world and having no one to turn too" Lincoln said as tabby had looked at him.

"Lincoln... Wow.." Tabby said as she was lost for words, she didn't expect this from him.

"Everyone have fears..." Lincoln started but he had looked at her and smile happily "but it is a friend job to make sure they are there so they don't have to face their fears alone. I will always be there if you ever need me tabby, I promise" he told her making tabby smile happily and nodded.

"I promise too, Lincoln! We will face our fears together" tabby smile happily as well as the two had quickly finished their ice creams and made their way back to the music store.

Luna had saw them and walked up to them "guys, you really need to let someone know if you are going to leave the store because anything can happen to y'all and we wouldn't know" Luna said making them nod

"Alright, we are sorry Luna" Lincoln said and tabby nodded, Luna sighed and smiled a bit as she rub their head's.

"Well as long as y'all are not hurt" Luna said making them smile a bit as Sam had walked up to them, signaling that it was time to go.

The 4 had said their goodbye to the twins and left the mall, going to the parking lot and to Sam car before they got in and Sam had drove off, driving everyone home.

Sam had dropped Luna and Lincoln off first before she had drove off to drop tabby off, Lincoln and Luna had waved before they had went inside, and Lincoln had went to his room while Luna had went to the living room.

Lincoln had went to his room and laid down on his bed, letting out a yawn as he had pulled out his phone and sent a message to Nikki telling what song he wanted to do before he put his phone away, closing his eye's.

"Lincoln! Come here!" Lori yelled making Lincoln jump up for shock as he quickly left his room, going downstairs where he saw his sister's standing by the front door which was open but they had block the way so he couldn't see who was at the door.

"Yeah" Lincoln asked Lori, nervous he did something wrong.

"There someone here to see you" Lori said roughly as his sisters had stepped aside, showing Joseph standing in the doorway looking extremely annoyed, making his eyes widened.

"Joseph!?" Lincoln said shocked.

Tabby had poke her head from the side of the door "h-hi Lincoln" she said as she had stepped into view "I sorry about this my Ma and dad kinda force me to do this" she said before tabby parents had came into view.

Tabby dad was a slim good looking guy with messy black hair, a black shirt, and blue jeans with a belt. His arm's had made it clear he had worked out daily and took care of himself.

Tabby mom was a beautiful woman almost like a modal while she wore black jeans, with a black and red shirt on, and she had black hair which was pulled back into a ponytail

"Wow that is a lot of kid's" tabby dad said looking at everyone but stopped at Lincoln "Lincoln, we want to apologize for how our son had attack you, we are deeply sorry" he said sincerely.

"It is okay, I am just as much to blame as he is" Lincoln said as he walked up to him "and it is already behind us so it fine" he said making tabby dad smile and held out his hand which Lincoln had took and shook.

"You have a good head on your shoulders Lincoln" tabby dad smiled before he pulled back "Joseph..." He said as he looked at Joseph who had looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here

Joseph ran and haid though his hair as he tried to force the words out but couldn't, he growled and reached to the side of the door and grabbed something before he pulled it into sight, showing Lincoln and his sisters a big long box and forcefully pushed it to Lincoln, who had took it while looking up at him "take that and leave me alone" he said as he walked away going to the car.

Tabby mom and dad sighed as they shook their heads "I'm sorry about him Lincoln" tabby mom said "but please take this gift" she finished making Lincoln nod his head before she started to go back to the car, leaving tabby and her dad.

"Yeah, we sorry for my son, we always tell him that attitude will get him in trouble" tabby dad said as he held out his hand and Lincoln had took it, both of them shaking each other hand "I hope we can meet you and your family again on better terms" his said as he pulled his hand away and started to walk away.

"I will be there in a sec dad, just want to say bye" Tabby called out before looking at Lincoln and his sister "I'm sorry for all of this, they wouldn't let up until they had apologize" tabby said a bit nervous as she rub the back of her neck.

"Heh it okay, most people wouldn't do all of this just to say sorry" Lincoln smile making her smile as well while the twins had poked at the box "oh and what in the box" he asked making her chuckle.

"A gift mate and don't worry my brother didn't pick it out, I did so there nothing to worry about" tabby smile making Lincoln smile and nod "well it about I hurry up and got going. Bye, see ya tomorrow" she said as she rushed to the car and got in before they drove away.

"They was nice of them" Luna said and the others had nodded while Lincoln had closed the door, before looking at the box.

"What you waiting for Lincoln, open it up" Lola and Lana said together before the rest of his sisters had nodded, wanting to see what was in it.

Lincoln and his sisters had went to the kitchen so he could place the box on table and pulled off the tape that had kept the box together, once done he had slowly pulled the lid off until it came off completely and everyone had let out a gasp as their eyes widened in shock.

Lincoln had reached into the box and0 pulled out a new electric guitar, the body was a freshly polish black, the pickguard was white, and the neck was a nice light brown.

"whoa..." everyone says quietly, even though only Luna and secretly Lincoln really known about guitar, everyone still had a eye for something that was new and this, was definitely new.

"Why would they get you a guitar" Lori asked and everyone wanted to know as well.

"I don't know but it is awesome" Lincoln said half honestly as he honestly loved the guitar.

"No way!?" Luna said making everyone look at her as she kept looked at the guitar "Lincoln give it here" she said in a rush, making Lincoln give it to her as she had started to feel around the base.

"Luna, what is it?" Lincoln asked confused as she kept feel around.

"Found it!" Luna said as she had found a switch and a hole had opened up, making Lincoln eyes widened.

"What happened?" Lincoln asked confused.

"Dude these are basically rare guitars because they can change from electric to acoustic!" Luna said in awe

"Is that a big deal?" Lola asked confused.

"Yes! This is basically every rocker dream guitar" Luna explain excitedly in awe "how did they get this" she said shocked.

Lincoln had reached up and took the guitar from her and pluck a few cords, before he had put it back in the box and put the lid back on "heh I definitely have to thank her tomorrow" Lincoln smiled as he took the box upstairs as the sisters had went back to do whatever they was doing.

Lincoln sat on his bed and started to examine the guitar, finding the switch to make the hole open up before he played a small song, testing it out.

Lincoln smiled and put the guitar away, letting out a yawn as a lot had happened today, he gotten up to change and turned off the lights before he went to sleep.
