chapter 3

Once upon a time in the quiet town of Royal Woods, Lillie, the younger sister of Lincoln Loud, found herself waking up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat after a terrible nightmare. Feeling scared and in need of comfort, she immediately thought of her dependable and caring big brother.

Wasting no time, Lillie decided to track down Lincoln in their bustling home. However, after searching the house from top to bottom, it seemed that Lincoln was nowhere to be found. Worried, Lillie reached for her phone and dialed Lincoln's number, hoping to hear his voice and find solace.

"Hey, Lillie! What's up?" Lincoln answered cheerfully, unaware of his sister's frightful night.

Lillie sighed in relief upon hearing her brother's voice. "Hey, Lincoln. Are you done with work?"

"Yeah, just finished up. Why? Is everything okay?" Lincoln asked, concern creeping into his voice.

Lillie explained, "I had a nightmare, and I was wondering if you would let me sleep with you tonight."

Understanding his sister's need for comfort, Lincoln replied soothingly, "Of course, Lillie. Don't worry. Come over to my house; it's right next door. You can make yourself comfortable, watch TV, or do anything you want. I'll be there in an hour. Also, leave a note for Mom and Dad, letting them know where you are, and grab your school stuff. I'll take you to school in the morning."

Relieved, Lillie agreed, saying, "Okay, I'll do that. Thanks, Lincoln."

Lincoln chuckled gently. "No problem, sis. Remember, the key is under the welcome mat."

The next morning, as Lillie settled into the car for their drive to school, Lincoln couldn't help but wonder about her nightmare. "So, Lillie, what happened in your nightmare?"

Lillie hesitated for a moment, then opened up, sharing the haunting images. As Lincoln listened attentively, he comforted his sister, assuring her that everything would be okay.

After safely dropping Lillie off at school, Lincoln decided to spend the day with her, as it was Career Day and he didn't have any other commitments. He wanted to ensure her day was filled with happiness and support. They attended various career presentations together, with Lincoln encouraging Lillie to explore her interests and dreams.

When the school day ended, Lillie's friends approached her, eager to spend time together. Lillie, grateful for her brother's kindness, asked if her friends could accompany them to Lincoln's house. Lincoln, always the accommodating brother, welcomed them with open arms.

At Lincoln's house, the girls found him diligently working on his computer, creating breathtaking artwork. Intrigued, they asked Lincoln to teach them how to make art of their own, and he gladly obliged. Hours turned into a fun-filled afternoon as Lincoln patiently taught them the basics of digital art.

As the day came to an end, Lincoln chauffeured each friend back to their respective homes, introducing himself to their parents and taking the time to assure them that they were always welcome at his house. He promised to be there for the girls whenever they needed someone to watch over them or teach them more about digital art.

The following day, Lillie approached Lincoln, excitement shining in her eyes. "Hey, Lincoln! My friends and I were wondering if we could have a sleepover at your place."

Lincoln smiled, realizing that his little sister cherished their time together. "Sure thing, Lillie. Call their parents and ask if it's okay. Let them know that I'll bring them home to gather the stuff they need for one to two nights."

Lillie made the calls, and luckily, her friends' parents agreed. Lincoln drove them all to their houses, ensuring they had their necessities. Once back at his place, Lincoln continued to teach them more about digital art while also providing each of them with his spare, refurbished laptops as gifts.

Two days later, as the parents of Lillie's new friend got ready for an out-of-town work trip, they approached Lincoln with a special request. "Lincoln, we were wondering if our daughter could stay with you for a few months. We couldn't find a babysitter, and we trust you to take care of her."

Lincoln, without hesitation, nodded. "No problem at all. She's more than welcome to stay with us. I'll make sure she feels right at home."

And so, months passed, filled with laughter, fun, and countless art sessions. Lincoln effortlessly managed to create a loving and supportive environment for Lillie, her friends, and their new housemate.

With a small frown, she dialed his number. With a sigh of relief at hearing his familiar tone, she voiced her fears and asked if she could stay with him for the night. Lincoln, ever the loving brother, agreed readily.

He directed her to his house next door, promising to return within an hour from work. Lillie scurried about, packing her things, and left a note for their parents. She found the key Lincoln mentioned under the welcome mat, and let herself in.

The next morning, Lincoln inquired about her nightmare, all while driving her to school in his firetruck.

Months passed, and Lillie made a new friend, Sunny, who soon found comfort in the warm-welcoming house of Lincoln, just as she did. Sunny stayed with them during her parents' out-of-town work commitments. When Sunny was hit with a nightmare, Lincoln was there, singing songs and allowing her to call for her sister, Stella.

A few minutes later, another call rang out: another house fire. Lincoln jumped into his gear, but Stella's gasp halted everyone: it was her house on fire. Unable to salvage much, Lincoln ordered a controlled burn down.

Months later, when Sunny's parents returned, they found Stella, their oldest, amidst the small family that Lincoln, Lillie and Sunny had formed. Despite the tragedy, there was a glimmer of joy – the revelation of Lincoln's request to become Sunny's guardian and his proposal to Stella.

The room fell into a hush as Stella said yes, color rushing to her cheeks. A moment later, Lincoln's radio buzzed, indicating yet another house fire call. "On my way," he responded, leaving the house in Stella's care, the new guardian of their small but much-loved family.

You are welcome to spend the night and till I return from work."

Before leaving, she jotted down a note for their parents and collected her school gear, as he promised to drop her off to school in the morning. Lincoln left her a spare key under his welcome mat, which she found easily.

The following morning, on the drive to school in his firetruck, Lillie shared the details of her terrifying dream. Lincoln listened quietly, ensuring that she knew he was there for her. Upon arriving at the school, her friends flocked around the firetruck and Lincoln, fascinated by his profession as a part-time firefighter captain and a musician.

That day was Career Day, so Lincoln agreed to spend the day at Lillie's school, entrancing everyone with his dual career - part-time firefighter and full-time musician. It went perfectly until he received an emergency call over his radio. Promising Lillie he'll return soon and swiftly, he sped off.

Upon his return, he had a chat with the parents and Lillie, ensuring that they'd know where to find her or any of the younger kids.

The following day, Lillie's friends expressed an interest in hanging out again. With Lincoln's advice, they decided to invite her friends over to his place, where he would show them how to produce music lyrics. Lincoln welcomed them warmly and indeed, devoted time teaching the girls music and lyric creation. He even surprised them with some old laptops to keep.

Unfortunately, the day rounded off on a tragic note as they responded to a fire at the address of Lillie's friends. Lincoln was too late, the fire had already claimed Lillie's friends' parents. Even though Lincoln tried his best, he couldn't do much but offer his condolence and support.

Weeks later, Lillie got along with a new friend. Her parents requested if she could stay with Lincoln for a few months due to their work commitments. Lincoln welcomed her friend, caring for her as if she was his own. One night, Lillie's friend had a nightmare just like Lillie had once experienced. But with the comfort of Lincoln's music and a heartwarming conversation with her sister Stella on the phone, she felt better.

Everything seemed to be settling down until an alarm rang out indicating another house fire. Too shaken to face the fact, Stella confirmed her worst fear; it was her house on fire. Too late for any rescue, Lincoln ordered a controlled burn to prevent the fire from spreading.

When Lillie's friend's parents returned, they learnt about Stella's house. Photographs, memories, everything was gone. All they had left was Stella standing there. She decided to stay with Lincoln along with her little sister, Sunny.

A beautiful bond blossomed between Lincoln and Stella during this time. Warm glances turned into lingering stares, and unspoken feelings into vocal expressions. Lincoln finally gathered the courage to ask Stella out. This act of bravery not only swirled love in the atmosphere but also acted as a ray of hope in these tough times.

One day, Lincoln got a call on his radio again, a house fire. Determined, he said, "On my way" and left, handing over the responsibility of Lillie to Stella. Despite everything that happened, Lincoln's spirit of serving the community never wavered, inspiring everyone around him.

Once upon a time, in the peaceful town of Royal Woods, Lillie Loud, the youngest sister of the famous Loud family, found herself in the middle of a terrifying nightmare. Sweating and trembling, she realized she needed someone to comfort her and make the fear go away.

In her groggy state, Lillie quickly reached for her phone and dialed her older brother Lincoln's number. She anxiously asked if he had finished work, hoping for some solace from her distressing dream. Thankfully, Lincoln reassured her that he was indeed done with work and willing to help his little sister.

Lillie hesitantly asked, "Lincoln, I had a nightmare, and I was wondering if you would let me sleep with you tonight?"

Understanding her fear, Lincoln empathetically replied, "Of course, Lillie. Just come over to my house. It's right next door. You'll feel safe there. Plus, you can make yourself comfortable and watch some TV while you wait for me. I'll be there in an hour."

Relieved, Lillie agreed and quickly started preparing for her short stay with Lincoln. She left a note for their parents, informing them of her whereabouts, and gathered her school stuff for the next day.

True to his word, Lincoln arrived at his house promptly and welcomed Lillie inside. He hugged her tight, ensuring her that everything would be fine. As they settled in for the night, Lillie could feel her worries gradually fading away.

The next morning, Lincoln awoke early and kindly offered to take Lillie to school in his trusty firetruck as it was Career Day. Lillie excitedly agreed, feeling proud to have her big brother as the musician and part-time firefighter captain in the spotlight.

Upon arriving at school, Lillie's friends were amazed to see her accompanied by Lincoln. They bombarded her with questions, eager to know more about his interesting career.

Lillie proudly explained, "He's not just my brother; he's also a firefighter captain and a talented musician! He's here for Career Day!"

As Lincoln proudly spoke about his career, he received an urgent call on his radio, requesting his presence at a house fire. He hugged Lillie tightly, assuring her that he would return as soon as he could, and then rushed off to fulfill his duty.

Meanwhile, Lillie's friends, intrigued by Lincoln's coolness, expressed their desire to spend time with him too. Lillie happily responded, "You know what? He won't mind if we all hang out at his house later. Let's ask him!"

After school, Lillie's friends accompanied her to Lincoln's house. They found him passionately engrossed in his work on his computer, crafting beautiful music lyrics. Intrigued, the girls mustered up the courage to ask him if he could teach them how to create music as well.

Being the generous and patient big brother he was, Lincoln agreed to teach them the art of music lyrics. Time flew by as the girls absorbed every piece of knowledge he shared. Impressed by their enthusiasm, Lincoln even gifted each of them his old laptops to further their creative journeys.

However, in the midst of their newfound joy, Lincoln's radio buzzed with an urgent call. It was a house fire at the apartment where Lillie's friends lived.

Determined to help, Lincoln rushed to the scene, but unfortunately, he arrived too late. Lillie's little friends' parents had tragically lost their lives in the fire.

Devastated, Lincoln returned home, his eyes filled with sadness. Sitting the girls down gently, he broke the heart-wrenching news. Tears streamed down their faces as they clung to each other for support.

Time passed, and Lillie found solace in a new friend she had made at school. The young girl's situation at home was not ideal, and her parents asked Lincoln and his family if she could stay with them while they were out of town for work.

Reaching out with open arms, Lincoln gladly agreed to be Sunny's guardian during her parents' absence. He assured her parents that she would be well taken care of and asked them to keep in touch in case of emergencies.

One night, Sunny had a terrifying nightmare, just like Lillie had before. Sensing her fear, Lincoln allowed Sunny to use his phone to call her older sister, Stella, and share her distress.

On the other end of the line, Stella patiently listened to Sunny's words, assuring her that she understood her fears. Inquiring if there was an adult present, Stella requested to speak to Lincoln to discuss the situation.

With no hesitation, Lincoln agreed, handing his phone to Sunny so she could speak with her sister. Understanding the importance of sibling support, Lincoln offered all the assistance Sunny needed.

Soon enough, Stella arrived, her concern evident on her face. Before Lincoln left to deal with another house fire call, he urged Stella to stay and look after Lillie and the other children residing with him.

Moved by Lincoln's compassion and care, Stella agreed to stand by his side as his girlfriend. They shared a tender moment, sealing their new bond with a kiss.

In the coming days, Lillie's parents returned, relieved and grateful for everything Lincoln had done for their family during their absence. They appreciated him teaching their daughters about music and even gifting them laptops.

However, their happiness was short-lived as they learned about the fire that had destroyed their house. With nowhere to go, they turned to Lincoln, who assured them they were welcome to stay until they figured things out.

Weeks passed, and the Loud family and their new extended family went through hardships together, but their love and support for one another never wavered. Through it all, they learned the true meaning of family and the strength found in unity.

And so, in the town of Royal Woods, the bond between Lincoln, Lillie, Stella, and their extended family grew stronger with each passing day, reminding them all that no matter what challenges they faced, they were never alone.Lillie, awoken by the chilling grips of a nightmare, found her comfort sought in the presence of her brother, Lincoln. To her dismay, he wasn't home. The next best thing—a phone call—proved to be a respite for the terrified girl's nightmares.

"Hey, Lillie... Yeah, I just wrapped up at work. What's up?"

"I had a nightmare, Lincoln. I was wondering if... if I could stay with you?"

"Of course, Lil. You're always welcome. My house is free, there're snacks in the kitchen, TV's yours, and I'll be home in an hour. Just leave a note for mom and dad telling them you're with me, okay? Grab your school stuff too, I can drop you tomorrow on my way to work."

Eagerly following his advice, Lillie rooted through their home, leaving a note for their parents before making the short journey to Lincoln's house. The morning brought with it serene comfort as Lincoln, curious about her nightmare, listened intently to her terrified retelling, carrying her to school in his captivating firetruck - a sight that left her friends utterly awed.

BTW, it was career day. Lincoln's presence was a blend of charisma and inspiration as he split his day teaching students about his extraordinary life as a musician and a part-time firefighter captain. An urgent call over his radio swiftly wrapped his day at the school as his duty beckoned him back, leaving Lillie with a promise to return before long and a spare key for future needs.

It was a thrill for Lillie's friends to hang out with Lincoln as they learned real-time from him, making lyrics, and talking about life in general. Lincoln found unexpected joy in chairing the girls' little study group, dropping them back home while offering his house for a hangout spot any time they needed, thus becoming the cool and responsible figure the kids adored.

A sleepover officially sealed Lincoln's house as the children's favorite spot. Lincoln used it as an opportunity to teach them about music lyrics while handing them each his old laptops. A hero of the town and of their hearts, Lincoln's world came crashing when a distress call marked the address of Lillie's friends. His worst fears realized when he was too late to save their parents.

Months that passed were filled with shared grief and comfort. A new addition to their circle, Sunny, added a little more warmth to Lincoln's house. When Sunny's parents had to leave the town temporarily, Lincoln readily agreed to look after her. It became a routine, the nightmares bringing the children closer to Lincoln, who stood tall as their pillar of support.

However, a distress call about Stella's house caught Lincoln off guard, leading to the painful reality when the fire damaged it beyond repair.

When Sunny's parents returned, it was a sweet homecoming as they found their daughters happy, learning new skills, and, most importantly, safe under Lincoln's care. A proposition later, Lincoln stood as Sunny's guardian, his relationship with Stella turned a new leaf. The bond that seemed to form naturally over distress, care, and shared experiences was officially given a name when Stella said yes to being Lincoln's girlfriend.

But, his duty was never done, and soon, another call demanded his presence for a fire outbreak. Before he left, he made sure Stella would look after Lillie, reinforcing his reliability and immense care for his little sister and friends.

A cold shiver ran down Lillie's back as the remnants of her nightmare faded. It was late, the house eerily silent apart from her own timid footsteps as she sought out her older brother, Lincoln, only to find he wasn't there. Shivering, she reached into her pocket to pull out her phone, dialing Lincoln's number.

A familiar voice answered, "Hey, Lillie, just wrapping up at the station, what's up?"

"I had a nightmare, Linc," Lillie confided, her voice held a tremor that Lincoln knew all too well.

"That's rough, sis. Listen, you can stay at my place tonight. It's right next door, watch TV, grab whatever you want from the kitchen. I'll be there in an hour," Lincoln gently offered, before he added, "Just write mom and dad a note."

Reassured, Lillie did as she was instructed, picked her school stuff, and headed to Lincoln's house. The next morning, Lincoln, eager to know and potentially ward off her fears, asked about her nightmare over breakfast. With the ordeal behind her, Lincoln hopped into his firetruck with Lillie, ready to drop her off at school.

If a firetruck dropping her wasn't enough to make Lillie the highlight of the day, Lincoln decided to stay owing to career day at Lillie's school. Not many could boast about having a musician/firefighter for a big brother. The day however was cut short when Lincoln's radio crackled, "Captain 118, you are needed for a house fire."

Responsible as always, Lincoln reassured Lillie once more, "I'll be back as soon as I can." Before rushing in response to the call. As time passed, Lincoln's home and warmth became a comfort zone for Lillie and her friends.

Lincoln, part musical genius and part brave firefighter, soon became a beloved figure among Lillie's friends, who found his house a great hangout spot. On their request, Lincoln amusedly started teaching them how to craft music lyrics. He even allowed them to conduct a sleepover at his house, proving himself to be a responsible guardian.

However, life took a tragic turn when a call Lincoln attended turned out to be Lillie's friends' apartment address. The harrowing event ended in their parents' lives being lost to the fire. Lincoln, survivor's guilt gnawing at him, did his best to console the grieving girls.

Time healed the deep wounds, introducing new joys in the form of Lillie's new friend, Sunny. Her presence in their lives brought a semblance of normalcy back. Sunny's parents, having to leave town for work for a few months, gratefully accepted Lincoln's offer to look after her. Like a beacon of warmth and wisdom, Lincoln comforted Sunny during her nightmares, even allowing her to vent out her fears to her older sister, Stella, over a call.

Life threw another curveball their way when a fire broke out in Stella's house. Like always, Lincoln went, but the house couldn't be saved.

When Sunny's parents came back, they were grateful that both their daughters seemed to be in such high spirits under Lincoln's care. Indeed, Lincoln had not only kept them safe but enriched their lives in many ways that they found intriguing. They rather readily accepted Lincoln's proposition of becoming Sunny's guardian.

In a sweet turn of events, Lincoln asked Stella to be his girlfriend, to which she agreed, adding a small bit of happiness to their complicated lives. Yet, even in the midst of happiness, the ever-vigilant Lincoln was called away for another fire. His last action before rushing off was to ensure Stella would look after Lillie, marking Lincoln not just as an extraordinary brother, but as a reliable guardian and an unparalleled local hero.

The eerie pitch-black of the night was interrupted by a frightened whimper from the youngest of the Loud family. Lillie had awoken from a horrible nightmare. She sought solace from her older brother, Lincoln, but her search throughout the house was in vain. As the only option, Lillie quickly dialed Lincoln's number.

"Hey there, Lily!" Lincoln cheerily answered, "Just wrapping up at the studio. What's up?"

Lillie explained her predicament, her soft voice choked with fear, and she asked, "Can I sleep at your place?" Lincoln welcomed her, "Of course, sweetheart. You know where the key is. Make yourself at home, I'll be there in an hour."

Grateful, Lillie complied and wrote a note for her parents, packed her school stuff, and hustled over to Lincoln's house next door.

The following morning, over a bowl of cereal, Lincoln asked Lillie gently, "What was that nightmare, Lills?" After listening to her, he dressed up in his vibrant firefighter's uniform, lifted her into his firetruck and drove her off to school, under the admiring gaze of Lily's friends.

It was career day; Lincoln stayed back, capturing the attention of the wide-eyed students with his double life as a musician and a part-time firefighter captain. However, his day was cut short when the static radio on his belt blared, "Captain 118, you are needed for a house fire call."

He pulled Lillie into a comforting hug, promising her swiftly, "I'll be back soon, kiddo," before rushing off amid her friends' awestruck faces. Lincoln had always been more than an ordinary brother to Lillie. Surprisingly, he handed her a spare key to his house, expressing that she was welcome anytime, and even if she wanted to invite her friends over.

Soon enough, Lincoln's house buzzed with the joyous chatter of Lillie and her friends, curious about this fascinating older brother who was equally skilled at creating music and extinguishing fires. When asked, Lincoln readily agreed to teach them about music, making lyrics, and even gifted them all his old laptops.

One day, a dreadful accident happened. A fire erupted at the address of Lillie's friends' apartment, taking away the lives of their parents despite Lincoln's desperate attempts to save them. Shattered, Lincoln helped the children cope with their grief over the course of the following month.

Lillie invited a new friend home, Sunny, whose parents needed to leave town for work. Meeting her parents, Lincoln agreed readily to look after Sunny, but not without ensuring they could be contacted for emergencies.

Sunny's proximity to Lincoln made her privy to his soothing, comforting musical sessions. When she had a nightmare, she found herself comforted by Lincoln's music. He also allowed her to call her older sister, Stella, to share her frightful experience. As Stella arrived to comfort her sister, another distress call broke out on Lincoln's radio - Stella's house was on fire.

In the following months, when Sunny's parents returned, they found their daughters happy and content in Lincoln's care. Lincoln generously offered to be Sunny's guardian, and in a sweet turn of events, Stella agreed to be his girlfriend.

However, the happiness was marred by Lincoln's news about the unfortunate destruction of their house. As he left again to answer another urgent call, Lincoln asked Stella to take care of Lillie. Amid the fluctuating circumstances, Lincoln remained a solid rock in Lillie's life - a beloved brother and an unsung hero.Many nights had passed since Lillie had the nightmare, but its vivid images still haunted her. It was another restless night, so she decided to reach out to her older brother, Lincoln. Grabbing her small pink phone, she dialed his number, relief washing over her as he answered.

"Linc?" she murmured, her voice trembling slightly.

"Hey, kiddo. Done with the studio session. What's up?" Lincoln, always a comforting presence, responded.

"I had a nightmare… Can I sleep at your place tonight?" Her words were bordering on a whisper, trying with all her might not to fall into tears.

"Of course, Lills. My house is right next door, help yourself to anything there. I'll be home in an hour, okay? Write mom and dad a note about where you are, get your school stuff, I'll take you to school tomorrow."

Lillie did as instructed, finding solace in his calming energy. The reassurance radiating from his voice was the beacon of safety she desperately needed.

In the morning, over breakfast, Lincoln inquired, "So, what happened in the nightmare?"

After she shared the details, Lincoln squeezed her hand for comfort, changed from his musician attire into his part-time firefighter's uniform, and drove Lillie to her school in his firetruck. Her friends, always pleased to see him, expressed their admiration and excitement.

Career day was unforgettable. Lincoln inspired Lillie's friends with his music and stories about his job as a firefighter captain. However, the day took a sudden turn when his radio crackled: "Captain 118, you are needed for a house fire."

Lincoln hugged Lillie tightly before speeding away, reassuring her that he'd be back as soon as he could. He trusted Lillie, leaving her a spare house key for any such situations.

During the next few days, Lillie's friends grew more interested in her big brother's life and his world of music. They spent hours at Lincoln's house, curious to learn about music and lyric creation. Lincoln, every bit a big brother, warmly welcomed them, met their parents, and even handed over his old laptops for the young girls to learn music whenever they wanted.

Tragedy struck when Lillie's friends lost their parents in a house fire. Lincoln consoled the heartbroken girls, showing them the support and warmth they needed amidst such unimaginable grief.

Lillie introduced Lincoln to her new friend, whose parents were going out of town for months. Lincoln, ever responsible and welcoming, agreed to look after the young girl too. When Sunny had a nightmare, just as Lillie once had, she found comfort in Lincoln's care and his music.

Months passed and eventually, Sunny's parents returned, and they were surprised to discover Stella, Sunny's older sister, living with Lincoln. Overjoyed to hear of the fantastic experience their kids had, they were also grateful for Lincoln's offers to act as Sunny's guardian and for Stella to be his girlfriend.

However, melancholy hovered in the air as Lincoln shared the unfortunate news of Stella's house's destruction. Yet again, Lincoln's selflessness shone through as he offered his help until they found a new place to start afresh. As his radio buzzed again, issuing another call to action, Lincoln reassured Stella and left, prepared to battle another blaze.

Feeling a bit anxious, Lillie decided to give Lincoln a call to see if he was done with work. When Lincoln answered, Lillie's voice quivered as she shared her distressing dream. She asked him if she could sleep with him for the night, seeking the familiar warmth and protection he provided.

Without hesitation, Lincoln agreed and advised Lillie to go to his house since it was right next door.
