4. Luna's gift for Lincoln

In the car, Lincoln and Luna were sitting happily together. Luna was ever so grateful for her little brother winning the Zakk Wylde toy for her. "So, how was it, guys?" Lori asked them curiously

"it was awesome!" Lincoln and Luna replied in unison.

That shout was a little loud, but not exactly like purely loud. It was not like an airhorn was honking in Lori's ear to make it bleed her eardrum out. And besides, All of the Loud family would be pretty much used to it since the family can be very noisy.

"That's good to hear." Lori replied happily. "I did wish I could have come with you there. Especially bring Bobby boo-boo-bear with me."

the two on the back made looks of slight disgust, and stuck their tongues out, as if they were going to vomit on the car floor

"oh shut up, you two!" The eldest sister said with irritation, nodding her head sideways. "Anywho, what did you guys do?"

"oh we went to many rides, and played those carnival games. The flying pigs, and those sort of things.

"yep, I am definitely a little jealous of you guys." Lori admitted with a smirk. "But still, I understand if this was just meant for you guys"

Luna, in agreement, said to the oldest sibling "yeah. We just did it to some time together. Besides, Lincoln loves me the best." Then she hugged him again.

"pfft. Yeah right. He doesn't have any favorites. We all love him. Right, Lincoln?"

"right. I don't really like to pick favorites, since I might make you guys mad at me for the rest of my life, even when I am in college someday."

Lori gave a "pfft" sound and replied "don't be silly. We know you love all of us equally, Lincoln." With her ego getting the best of her, she added "and besides, I am the oldest, that obviously makes me the favorite if mom and dad."

"don't start." Luna reminded. "Remember what mom and dad said about being too full of yourself, sis."

"I know, I know. Sorry. So, what was your favorite part of your trip?"

the ones on the back looked at the Zakk Wylde plush at the same time. "I think it was me getting this." Said Luna. "And it's all thanks to my brother, Lincoln for getting this for me."

Lincoln smiled with gratitude. "You know what, I think I loved that part too, although the rides were pretty cool, too."

"oh. That's nice." Said Lori. "I have no idea who Zakk Wylde is, but he sounded like someone that means a lot to you guys."

"Oh, of course, you don't know who he is." Luna rolled her eyes in slight irritation. "He was one of Ozzy Osbourne's greatest guitarists."

"oh. Now that you mentioned not, he was so familiar."

"riiiight." Said Lincoln unamused. "So Luna, what of Charles gets on the toy? Should you place it somewhere for safe keeping just on case?"

"don't worry, Lincy." Luna replied. "Charles never chews any stuff from me in my room. And besides, he would only chew one of Lola's toys."

her closest sibling made a small chuckle. "Right. I mean, you remember the time was chewing mr. Sprinkles? Lola was freaking out."

the rocker girl laughed after. "I know, I thought her head was gonna explode with organs splattered all over the ways. It would be like raining blood."

Lincoln made another laugh. "Totally. Well, at least Mr. Sprinkles is okay, now."

"yeah. Hey, Lori, do you think we can grab some grub at the Burpin' Burger before we get home? I'm getting a little hungry after all those rides walking around the fair."

her younger brother heard his stomach making a growl, like growling werewolf would sound like. "Yeah, me too. I'm starving to death, right now."

"do my homework for a year and I will drive you anywhere you want." Lori made a deal with the two.

"what?" They both said with disbelief. "You cannot be serious!" Said Lincoln.

lori made a small laugh "just kidding." She sang. "Of course I'll drive you guys there." Then her own stomach made a growl like a female werewolf would make. "Oh, I desperately need to fill up my stomach too."

then Lincoln and Luna's demeanor changed from irritated to happy, smiling faces. It wasn't a really long drive from Dairyland, but it was like ten miles from the amusement park.

"would you like to eat it here? Or to go?" Lori asked the two.

"for here." They both answered her.

"the others might get jealous if we brought the food home without anything for them." Said Lincoln.

"right." Lori remembered.

"and it would be a lion feeding frenzy if we did that."

"tell me about it. The twins especially can be crazy when it comes to treats. Especially when they get high on sugar."

"oh yeah." Said Luna. "They can get pretty crazy when on sugar."

"totally."

then they both went inside the fast-food joint. For being the oldest, Lori payed for the food and drinks.

while they were eating the juicy burgers, Luna said to her brother, "say, bro?"

"yes?"

"I have something I want to give you when we get back to our crib." She finished. "It's something I wanna give you for giving me one of the greatest gifts ever had. And to show you how much I love you, of course."

Lincoln was rather curious about what it was in particular. "What's that?" He asked after gulping a bite down his throat.

"It's a surprise, little buddy." She gave him a gentle elbow jab on his arm before continuing to eat her lunch.

then, Lori's smile turned even bigger, showing her teeth when Bobby, who was working as an employee in the joint, came up to check on them, and say hello.

"hello, Bobby boo-boo bear." Lori said while giving her boyfriend a big hug.

"Hey, Babe. Happy thirteenth week-aversary."

Lincoln and Luna groaned mildly on disgust and irritation from this cheesy romance. "Oh here we go." Said Lincoln in his head.

then they both kissed. "Hey, Lincoln, Luna." Said Bobby, noticing the other two siblings.

"sup, Bobby?" Lincoln said, then they both did a cool handshake.

"nothing much."

"so, were you coming to check on us, sweetie?"

"Yep, and say hello to you." Bobby replied. "I would love to sit and chat with you, Babe, but I gotta get back to work. A working man's gotta do what a working man's gotta do." Then he flexed his muscles, or at least, his actual muscles, making Lori more aroused by him.

"see you soon, Bobby." Lori said. Then her boyfriend went back to his working. "Isn't he quite a sweet-talker?"

"oh yeah. Totally." Said Luna sarcastically. "Especially baby-talking with one another"

"oh you guys. You don't understand, a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is... Complicated."

"oh yeah, if you are the girlfriend." Lincoln said

"you'll understand when you're older," then they all went back to eating the remainder of their lunch.

the three happily made it back home with their drinks in their hands. "Hey, I'm gonna see if I can help Leni with a gown she is working on. You guys just enjoy yourselves, okay?"

"of course. If Luna is with me, I don't think this day can ever go wrong." Lincoln remarked.

Luma smiled with a large amount of gratitude. "Aww, thanks, Lincoln." Then she hugged him again, with the Zakk toy in her right hand.

then Lori went up to her and Leni's bedroom to fix up some clothing material like she said before.

"so, are you ready for your present, bro?" Luna asked

"yeah!"

his sister chuckled "good man. Come up to my room, and I'll show you. It first, close your eyes."

then Lincoln did what she tasked him to do, and shut his eyes like a a scallop would clamp it's mouth shut. Then he followed her up to her room

"watch your step, buddy." Luna sang.

"right."

"okay, you can stop now." Then, her little brother stopped dead in his tracks.

"Now keep the, close for a little longer." Luna added. "It will only be a little shot in the dark." Then the next thing he heard was a small cluttering, and a guitar string accidentally strung. "Okay, open up, now."

at last, Lincoln finally opened and his eyes and was in awe when Luna was holding a Les Paul for him to have with a strap. "You're... You're giving me one of your guitars?"

"yeah, dude. You deserve it. Maybe I can teach you how to play it if you would like that."

"I would love it!" Lincoln exclaimed. "But... Are you sure you're giving me your green Les Paul to me?"

"Of course." Luna replied with a wink. "Besides, I got many more axes where that came from, remember?"

then he remembered correctly that she has a large collection of guitars, even some from famous guitarists like Steve Vai, or Joe Perry for example. "Right."

then he promptly took the guitar, and held the neck that had lightning streaks on the fret board. "Thank you so much, Luna." He said. "I love you."

"I love you too, bro." Then they both gave eachother a big hug again.

"hey, Luna?"

"hmm?"

"since I love rock and some metal, do you think you can show me some bands I have not heard of, and teach me how to play this when you get the chance."

"sure thing! Anything for you, Lincoln." The. She made another wink. "In the meantime, why don't you chill out for a while. You must be a little tired from all that fun we were having.

"oh I am. I need to just watch a little "Arggh!" On TV.

as he exited out of the room, Luna was more than proud of himself to make his brother happy again.
