19. Lincoln Meets Sam

while resting his head on Luna's lap, both she and Lincoln were listening to a really nice band from Montreal called Priestess, the band who was known for their song "Lay Down" and they were both enjoying this intriguing yet underrated group.

"This is really nice, Luna." Lincoln said. "I'm so glad I decided to hook my iPod to the stereo so we can listen to these guys together.

Luna gently patted his head and replied "you said it, buddy. And I really glad that I showed you these cool bands that you never heard of." And she made a smirk. "If only bands like these would have more recognition, you know?"

"here here." Lincoln agreed. "These kind of bands deserve more attention and have their music be heard all over the world."

"ah, well they do have a single that is considered a one hit wonder. Who knows, maybe these kind of amazing bands will have more recognition someday. All bands started out small, you know?"

Lincoln made a small chuckle and he said "yeah, that's true."

the parents came out of the bathroom, and Rita asked "Do you guys have to play that loudly? We are happy that you are broadening your music horizons, Lincoln, but that is quite loud."

"Sorry mom." Both siblings replied in unison.

"it's okay, kids." Said Lynn Sr. "we're not telling you to turn it fr, just turn it down a little."

"okay, but I thought you guys would be use to this noise level, considering the fact that this is a big family."

Rita nodded her head in agreement and said "We know, sweetie, but it's best if you turn it down a not he alright?"

"sure thing." Then Lincoln lowered the noise level of his music a little bit at ten appropriate noise level.

"Thanks, kids!" Rita said gratefully, then she and hwe husband went back inside their bedroom.

After a litter while, Luna then asked her brother "so, wanna go to Sam's house and meet her?"

"Sure!" Then Lincoln got up and took his iPod put of the stereo plug-in cable for his device and he prepared himself to get ready to meet this Sam girl Luna told him about, and now he was waiting for his sister to be ready so they can both go to her house together.

Je looked at the clock and it was already noon. "Alright, Lincoln!" Luna called out from upstairs. "I'm ready."

"Gotcha!" Then Luna went downstairs and she looked the same as before. "I'm ready when you are, Luna."

"Awesome!" Luna said while doing the devil horn gesture with her hands again. "Come on. Mom, dad, we're going over to see Sam! We'll be back in a little while!"

"Okay, Luna!" Lynn Sr called out. "Be sure to be back before curfew!"

"Right!" Then both siblings went off to see Sam, and Lincoln could hardly wait to meet her for the first time.

Clearing his throat, he asked "I hope she doesn't live so far away from here."

"Nah, just many blocks down the street, remember?"

Lincoln smiled confidentially. "Perfect." both of them looked around at their surroundings, and it was a beautiful summer day, and they were both feeling the summer breeze blowing against them, but it was still a little hot, like Summer always is. It wasn't that far a walk, nor so close to their own house either.

Finally, there was a nice, brown house that looked identical to many other ones in the suburban parts royal woods "Well, here we are, Sam's crib." Luna said proudly. "Oh she will love you."

"I can hardly wait for it." Then they approached the front door, and Luna was the one who rung the bell. The chime sounded exactly like the guitar rift from "Take me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.

"Ooh, catchy." Her brother remarked with a smirk.

It too a few seconds but the door flew open, and it revealed a girl at Luna's age, and she was more than happy to see her. "Luna!" She said with joy.

"Sam!" Luna cheered enthusiastically, then both of them embraced in a hug, and kissed eachother on the lips affectionately, and they both let go.

Lincoln was rather touched by this adorable sight, even if they are the same sex. Then again, he thought of Clyde's dad's who were homosexual, and this was absolutely no different than those two.

As they broke away, the girl noticed Lincoln "oh, hello. You must be Lincoln." As she approached him promptly in a warm and friendly manner. She was about as tall as Luna was, and looked exactly like a girl who was born to rock like Luna did, too. "You know, Luna told me about ya."

"really?"

"totally! She says they are the greatest little brother a girl can ask for."

Lincoln himself was really happy to hear that, and couldn't be any more flattered. "Well, you know. I am just a good brother."

Sam made a cute chuckle. "You are so funny. Luna was right, you are a cool kid. And she even told me that you are playing guitar now."

"yep, and I am getting good at it."

"Cool." Then Lincoln's heart jumped when he heard a barking sound, and there came too large dogs, one was a golden retriever, and another was a Great Pyrenees, and they were acting all happy and excited around the visitors. "Hey hey!" Sam intervened "easy there Ozzy, you too, Axl. Now sit."

then both pooches immediately and obediently sat on their butts, and stopped their panting, looking at their master.

"sorry about that. They are always so happy to have visitors here."

"nah, it's okay." Luna said "I am so used to these kinds of dogs."

"she's not lying about that. We have a lot of let's back home too. Hey, you should take a look at Lana's room, she has quite some pets in their, even exotic ones that might or might not be legal to own."

Sam made another laugh and wiped a tear off her eye. "You are so funny Lincoln." She remarked.

"I told ya she would like you, bro." Luna said

"I know."

"yeah, I absolutely like you alright. To be honest, you're kinda... cute." The last word she said made Lincoln flush a tomato red a little. "I mean really."

"Well, I wouldn't say that." Lincoln admitted. "I'm just a kid doing everything i can to survive in a big family." and he rubbed the back of his head in a sheepish way

Sam only laughed more. "Cute and funny. You are too much, Lincoln." and she gently rubbed his white hair. "Why don't ya guys come on in, I made some brownies for you guys."

"Awesome!" Luna cheered while doing the rock gesture once again. Then both of them went inside, and there was a small plate of three brownies, two for the siblings and one for the maker herself, all with m&m's inside of them. "Aw nice, M&M's!" said Luna. "How did you know I love this candy?"

"because I know you too well." Sam said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, and both of them had a laugh. The next thing they did was sit on the couch, and enjoyed their little snack. "So, what's up, Luna?" she asked her love with her mouth slightly full.

"I'd thought that Lincoln should meet you, and maybe we can all hangout someplace fun together.

"That's nice." Sam said, and then she looked at Lincoln. "Any one who is a close family member of Lincoln is a friend of mine."

Just then when Lincoln was done with his brownie, Ozzy the Pyrenees went up to him, and sniffed at where his crotch was, making the boy feel a little uncomfortable.

"Ozzy!" Sam reprimanded. "Don't sniff other people's crotches! that's bad manners." then the fluffy white dog stopped, and made a small whine. "I'm very sorry, Linc. Ozzy just really loves company."

"It's fine. We kinda have a lot of pets at home, and you should see Lana's room, she has many pets that might or might not be legal to own."

"Figures." Sam said with a chuckle.

Then the Pyraneese hopped on the couch, and sat next to Lincoln, and began licking his face woth his gigantic tongue. Lincoln began laughing and giggling just feeling the wet tongue pressing against his face, and then he returned the favor by petting Ozzy across his furry body. "You are so fluffy." Lincoln said playfully. Ozzy made a small playfully howl in reply.

Just then the golden retriever went up on the other side of Lincoln and placed his paw on his lap, and made a small bark, demanding attention, and Axl was starting to lick his face, too.

"Aww look, they like you already Linc." Luna said, giggling at this adorable sight of Lincoln being woth the dogs.

"Ozzy and Axl like everybody. That's why I got them from the humane society many years ago.

"So anyway, what do yoy want to do for fun?"

"Well, I was thinking like we can go to the mall or go have a little walk in the park, or even take Ozzy and Axl to the dog park so they can have some fresh air."

"That all sounds fun, except for the mall part."

"Why do you hate malls, Lincoln?"

"No no, I don't hate them." He clarified. "It's... a guy thing, you know."

"Ah, I understand, dude. Oh and we can go to Burpin Burger and have a decent lunch as a gang together, and even perform a short band together"

"I don't even know where to start, man!" Luna said.

"Why don't we go to the park, and then Burpin Burger, and maybe do a little jamming together?" Lincoln suggested

"Awesome idea."

"See Lincoln, I told Sam would like you."

"Yeah, up are quite a cool kid, Lincoln." Sam said with a wink in a friendly gesture.

"Thanks Sam."

"No problem, buddy. "Oh we'll have such an awesome time together."

"I couldn't agree more." Said Lincoln.
