Here is a requested story, in response to make up from the mistakes of the secretly aggravated "No Such Luck". I found the resolution really underwhelming and the characters unlikable (except for Lincoln). So, in tradition of "Real Boys" and "Brawl for One, None for Brawl", here is another catch-basin story.


At his Royal Woods Beaver mascot suit and Ray-Ban shades, Lincoln rests by the sandy beachside under the heat of the sun, while his family enjoys the shore waters. It is just an envious sight for Lincoln since he has to stay stuck in the beaver suit to keep the family away from bad luck. Nevertheless, he accepts his sentence, as long as his family accepts him.

Even still, he still faces several misfortunes. While watching his family, Lincoln gets splashed with hot sand by a passing pickup truck with frat boys onboard.

"Hey dudes, check out the dork in our old school mascot!" one fat guy named Seth (who is on the wheels) points at Lincoln and makes fun of him.

A fatter guy named Jonah bursts out from the skyroof and loudly mocks at the poor eleven year-old, "Hey beaver breath! What's wrong? Your herd con-dam-ned you? Haha!"

A geek named Michael joins along, "Oh, don't listen to Jonah here. You just need stop looking chucked up."

"I don't think that's a funny joke," the last guy, another awkward geek named Jay, backs Lincoln up. "And please spare the kid who tries to cosplay Johnny Depp in that weird movie."

"Chill Jay man, we're just appreciating the presence of a victim of another failed Chuck E. Cheese mascot audition," Seth mockingly justifies, which does not help the situation by making the four holler at Lincoln even more. "You got unlucky, huh kid? Just relax, the Lucky Charms leprechaun might call his agent to tell there's another cereal mascot wannabe."

And after that, the truck speeds away, causing another wave of sand to splash onto Lincoln. That is enough for Lincoln to burst out from the sand and explode in rage. "That's it! I am not taking this anymore! I am going to have to stand up to my family and show I'm not unlucky, if that is the last thing I'll do!" The rage-filled Lincoln then dumps the beaver costume and marches to his family by the shoreline.


Back to the Louds, they are pretty much enjoying the beach in their own fashionable way; Lori is sunbathing; Leni and Luan are playing Marco Polo where Leni keeps being confused on the mechanics; Luna is strumming her ukelele; Lynn keeps the beach ball on air by kicking it maniacally; Lucy stays under the umbrella and presumably tries to summon "beach spirits"; Lana keeps herself buried in the sand while Lola stomps her away; Lisa examines the salinity level of the beach water; Rita guides Lily walking on the beach sand; and Lynn Sr. watches over his family having fun as he prepares to dive.

It is at then when they all come to a stop when Lincoln marches towards them. "Okay, this luck no-sense has to stop right now!" he loudly insists.

The family are at shock when they see Lincoln out of the damp beaver costume. "Dude, what are you doing?" Luna asks.

Lynn then leaps from behind and towards to Lincoln to stop her brother. "Lincoln! Where's your costume?! Put it on now!"

"No, I'm not going to pass my time under that stupid beaver costume! It's hot! It's sweaty! And it stinks!"

But Lola pulls him by the collar and warns him, "Put it the costume now! Or I'll let you feel what true sunburn feels like!"

"Yeah brother, you really don't want a sunburned body," Lana follows.

"Lincoln, literally put it on. You have to accept that you still hold bad luck like a badge," Lori coldly reiterates.

"Come on guys, you're being unfair!"

"Life is unfair, my self-esteemed brother," Lucy straightly admits.

"But that does not mean I'm the one who caused it!"

"Face it, calamitous regiment of unpredictable proportions, you are a source of jinx," Lisa defends.

"Yeah, jinx!" Leni dumbfoundedly utters, "Jinx? I jinxed! I jinxed again! Jinx!"

Abrupt dumb sibling moment aside, the family tries to justify their claims of Lincoln being unlucky, starting surprisingly with Mrs. Rita Loud, "Lincoln, you better watch what you are doing."

"Mom, aren't you seeing the hole in this silly luck thing?"

But Lynn Sr. comes to her defense, "Lincoln, you better listen to your mother. Haven't you already see the bad luck we had when you suddenly show up and have to ruin everything? Isn't it enough?"

However, Lincoln remains confident of his judgment. "Mom and dad, please try to accept. I am not bad luck. I am never bad luck. How will I ever shake your belief that I am not bad luck?"

And coincidentally enough, the ground starts to shake. It was a little tremor but it was enough for the family to glare eyes at Lincoln.

"Well, you definitely shake our beliefs, like it comes as an (after)shock to us. Pun intended," Luan states with a mocking tone.

But Lincoln remains a chill tone, "Relax, we're in the beach. It's just natural to have earthquakes around here." And just as he says that, the ground continues to shake loudly and the skies turn ominously to gray. The Louds try to stand but they fall to the sand. "Well, at least there is no..."

Before he can finish, the family spots a tidal wave hurtling towards their direction. Just as the ground calms from the sudden intensity, they run towards the van in total panic.

"You have to say that, Bucko!" Lynn berates at her younger brother as she follows her family fleeing away from the wave.

Lincoln tries to catch but he ends up being tripped over by a coconut crab who grabs him by his left foot with its claws. He ends up swinging his foot to get the crab off, to no avail. Nevertheless, he races to his family.

Once everyone but Lincoln get aboard on the van, they shut door completely closed and prepare to flee.

"Kids hold on! It's best if we fasten our seatbelts!" Lynn Sr. reminds them.

"Wait, where's Lincoln?" Luna wonders worryingly.

"Oh forget about him! He's the one who caused this in the first place!" Lola complains, "Let's just go!"

However, the wave hits the van, and the family gets submerged within the surge of water. Thankfully, the van is partially waterproof; thus, they can expect water is get in by any minute.

Lincoln, being pulled the currents, suddenly hits by the wind shield - to the family's utmost shock - and tries to take hold of the side mirror. Fortunately (or unfortunately in this case), the beaver mascot clings by the mirror, making him pulls to its direction and forcing him to wear the costume.

This instantly makes the wave return to the ocean and for the tidal surge to stop. The wave then leaves all of its floating to the shoreline, making the beach messy. The skies then clear to give an instant hot summer climate The family gets out of the van and confronts a soaked Lincoln, bearing the wet beaver suit on him. Obviously, with the family's hard-pressed beliefs at Irish-based superstition, the Louds get angry at Lincoln.

"What do you have to say to yourself, mister?" Lori accosts him.

But Lincoln can only laugh nervously at the sight of defeat.


To make up for the unfortunate day, the Louds retreat to the nearby mall to chill under the airconditioned-filled vicinity. As for Lincoln, he is left grounded back at the van as punishment for his "bad luck". This leaves the unfortunate eleven year-old devastated.

Though no one in the family sees this way. Well, except Luna who has an afterthought during a brief chill at a smoothie cafe with Lori. "Haven't we been too...cruel to Lincoln?" she wonders.

"What do you literally mean?" Lori replies, "He was cruel to us."

"I mean sure the bad luck stuff. Sure, if that exists," Luna points out, "But I am sure he didn't ask for this."

"Well, he wore it proudly like a badge. He should be aware of that," Lori defends.

"I know Lori but it is kind of nasty to treat him that way."

"Oh get used to it. The more that jinx is away from us, the happier we all are. Now finish your smoothie."

But Luna mumbles, "But I am not." And from there, she finds the guilt from mistreating the innocent Lincoln Loud.
