Hey guys. I know it's been forever since I updated this. (Almost a year) I've been busy with three other stories now but I think most of you know that. I thought since its so close to the anniversary I would post the second chapter of this. I honestly don't know why I didn't do it sooner since it was already written out. Don't expect it to see it updated anytime soon after this. I will try to do more on though.
Lincoln:Finally! Lincoln Universe returns! I thought I would never get to be in the spotlight again.
Calm down dude! Hey how about you do the disclaimer so we can get this started.
Lincoln:TheauthordoesnotowntheLoudHouseorStevenUniversebothbelondtotheirrespectiveowners.
Wow wow slow down.
Lincoln:Sorry I'm just really excited.
Fair enough. Enjoy the chapter.
Lincoln and Luan are at the boardwalk of Beach City going to the restaurant that sells specifically one food. Fries! They are celebrating there victory against Centipedal and Lincoln knew just what to do.
"Hey Flip, give me the bits!" He said to the owner. He his a tall chubby man with gray hair sticking up like fries. He has a mustache of the same color. He his wearing a red shirt with a white shirt.
"Sorry Lincoln. But if you didn't noticed were closed."
"Awwww! What?!"
"Come on man give him the bits. The bits, the bits, the bits!" Luan said banging her head against the counter. Soon Lincoln joined her.
"The bits! The Bits! The Bits!" They chanted in unison. "The bi-"
"Okay okay! Geez. Take it easy on the counter would you? Those aren't very cheap." Flip said in defeat. While getting it ready he looked back at the two. "You know, not that I actually care but I could give you actually fries." He said annoyed that he couldn't charge them for the fry bits.
"Naw, just the bits." Replied Lincoln knowing what Flip was trying to do. While waiting for the bits the two went back to their conversation.
"So, Luan. There was something that I was wondering about during the battle against Centipedal earlier."
"What's that?" She asked.
"How come you guys didn't summon your weapons sooner? I mean it took me about a minute or two to get all those cords but from what I can tell you didn't get your weapons until I electrocuted it."
"Here you go." Flip said handing Lincoln the fry bits. Luan thought about Lincoln's question as they started walking back.
"Well...you see Linc, we didn't get our weapons because...umm...because..er...I don't know." She said with embarrassment.
"Hey I was just curious. You don't have to take it personally. Lets just eat our snack and enjoy the sunset."
"Seems like a 'setting' for me." Luan said. Lincoln just groaned.
"I'm really starting to regret teaching you about comedy." Lincoln chuckled. He didn't actually mean it but wished Luan would tone it down.
"Well to be far there were other things I learned comedy from but you did teach me."
Lincoln then noticed something as they were walking. "Hey Luan,' he said worryingly, 'why does it look like there's two suns in the sky?" Lincoln was confused. Sure he had never gone to school but his dad taught him enough to know that there's only supposed to be one sun.
"I don't know Linc, why?" She asked thinking it was a joke.
"This isn't a joke Luan look!" He said pointing at the sky. Luan looked at where he was pointing and gasped.
"Oh no." She whispered so quiet that Lincoln barley heard her. "What is that doing here?!" She exclaimed.
"What is it?" Lincoln asked. Without saying a word Luan picked Lincoln up by the waist and carried him over her head all the way to the temple/house. This also caused Lincoln to drop his fry bits.
"Hey! My bits!" He exclaimed.
Meanwhile Lynn and Lori are on the beach, Lori is looking at the 'second sun' with a telescope. Walt and Geo are next to them wandering what's going on.
"This is bad." Lynn said.
"Look at the size of it. I didn't think they could literally be so big."
"Lynn, Lori!" Luan yelled finally finding them, she is still carrying them.
"We saw!" Lori said. "Some of us are literally trying to protect the Earth." She sounded annoyed at Luan. "Where were you anyways?"
"Getting fry bits." She answered casually. "Why its none of your bitness! Hahaha Get it?"
"Now is not the time for jokes Luan." Lynn said.
"Hey guys, not to interrupt but a couple of things." Lincoln said. First, Luan put me down." He commanded. It was then that she realized she was still holding Lincoln.
"Sorry bro." She said.
"Bro?" Lincoln asked confused. Sure he always sees the gems, Luan and Lynn the most as siblings but he didn't think they felt the same.
"You know metaphorically speaking."
"Okay. Back to what I was saying. Second you owe me another thing of fry bits, sis."
"Fair enough." She said.
"And third..." He said pausing before screaming..."WHAT IS THAT THING?!" both scared but curious at the same time. He looked through the telescope to get a better look at it and is shocked at what he sees. "It's a giant eyeball?" He asked. "Cool!" And he was right. Up in the sky was a machine that has outer red armor with red ball inside. The middle looks like a giant eye.
"Lincoln this is literally not cool! It's a redeye!"
"Oh no! A redeye! It's going to infect us all!" Lincoln said.
"That's pinkeye." Lynn said.
"If we literally don't stop now it will destroy us and all of beach city."
"How do we stop it?"
"The only thing powerful enough to destroy it was a light cannon Rose Quarts owned." Lynn explained.
"My mom?" Lincoln asked looking at his gem.
"If Rose was here this would be so easy." Luan said.
"I know but shes not." Lori said holding back tears. "And the cannon has been missing for years now. We have to find another solution."
"Hey, if my mom had the cannon then I bet Dad knows where it is."
"Lynn Sr?" Lori asked in disbelief. "No offense to your father Lincoln but I doubt Rose would give him such a powerful weapon." The gems sometimes refer to Lincoln's dad as Senior so they don't get him and Crystal Gem Lynn confused.
"Also your dad is a mess."
"Luan!"
"What its true. Even if he did have it he either lost it, broke it, or somehow dropped it in the bottom of the ocean by now."
"True." Lynn agreed slowly.
"Oh come on guys I can at least ask."
"We can handle this Lincoln." Said Lynn. "Ready?" She asked Luan who nodded. Lynn then picked up Luan and jumps high in the air doing a few front flips before throwing Luan at the redeye.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" She screamed before hitting it with a loud thump and then landing in the ocean. The others just stare with worried looks. Lori looks like she is about to shutdown.
"I'm just going to go." Lincoln backing away. The pets followed him as well thinking they should leave.
"Okay good luck." Lori replied not really paying attention.
Lincoln ran back to the boardwalk and kept running to the other side. Walt flew right behind him and Geo rolled in is ball right behind him. They went all the way to Lincoln's Dad's store, which is car wash. When he got there he started banging on the back of a van. It is a dark green with red and orange streaks and the name Universe written on both sides. At one point it was a big family van but his dad took out most of the seats so he could use the van has storage/home. Walt flew around to the front while Geo stood behind Lincoln.
"Dad, dad! Dad wake up its me Lincoln your only son, and kid for that matter." 'Why does that sound so ironic?' He asked himself. 'Oh well.' He then gets to the top of the van and starts jumping on it. "Dad!" He yelled again. He used enough force to cause the car horn to go off. A man then jumps out of the van with a waffle iron.
"Who's there? I have a waffle iron and I'm not afraid to use it.
"Hey dad."
"Oh it's just you Lincoln. Said Lynn Sr. relieved. What are you doing here so late? I almost waffled your face!
"Late? The sun started going down an hour ago."
"Oh. It was a slow day at the wash." He said embarrassed. He had brown hair that went to his legs and some around the side of his head but the top was bold. He wears a sweater vest and jean shorts. He has a long nose as well.
"So, what do you need? Some father-son bonding time? Learn a life lesson?"
"No.' Lincoln said quickly. 'I was wandering if you know where a light cannon mom had is so we can destroy a giant eyeball before it destroys us." He said as if this was an everyday thing.
"Oh is that all?" He asked thinking it was..."Wait what giant eyeball?" He asked.
"That one." Lincoln said pointing to it. Lynn Sr. turned around to see Luan being thrown at it again only to here a loud thump and then a splash.
"...I don't know Lincoln. I was told to stay out of gem related things. Plus I would like to keep the rest of my hair.
"Come on dad. All you have to do is help me find it." Lincoln said with begging eyes which he knew his dad couldn't resist.
"Fine." He said in defeat. "I will help you. I can never say no to those eyes.
"It usually works on the gems too." Lincoln in a matter of fact tone. "So where is it. A cloud fortress, cave dungeon, oh or how about inside a clam in the bottom of the sea!" Lincoln knows these could be possibilities since the gems have been to crazy places that he as heard from stories they told him.
"Well I don't know about that, but I do know where it might be." They then got into the van and went to a storage unit place called 'U-Srore'.
"A magical storage unit?!" Lincoln said running over to it.
"Well I wouldn't say it's magical. But it does have magic in it." His dad said with a Lincoln confused. "It's just a shed I use to keep stuff that won't fit in the van. He opens it and Lincoln is shocked at what he sees. Or rather what he can see. Walt and Geo go to the front only for one of the boxes to almost fall on them causing them to run back to Lincoln. The whole front entrance is blocked by boxes of things and who knows what else is in there.
Lincoln tried to find an opening but only made more boxes fall. On the bright side he found an opening but it was too dark to see.
"I'm going in. But first I need some gear." He found a flashlight and used a sock to tie it around his head. Lynn Sr. found some rope from either the van or garage. (Like Luan with the camera we don't know where it came from)
"Hey,' Lincoln said to the author/narrator. 'We are on a times schedule so lets get this going."
I thought I told you to to stop breaking the fourth wall?
"No you said not to do it to often. And this is only the second time."
Fine. Just finish the story. I said in a menacing tone.
"Okay okay." He said spooked. His dad then came and tied the rope around him.
"Who were you talking to Linc?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Oh...just talking to myself." (Only Lincoln can break the fourth wall) He started to crawl through the spaces, being as skinny as a noodle has its perks. Walt and Geo followed him as well. He saw many things like fishing equipment, masks, an old tv and many other random things.
"I think I found it!" He yelled. He grabbed what he thought was the cannon but turned out to be a golf bag with clubs. "Did you golf?" he asked his dad.
"Yep. Usually in my free time. I was a champion." He replied from the outside.
Lincoln kept looking around until he found another object. "Yes." he said. He ran up to it only to find out it's... "A drum." He said disappointed. He turned around to look more before running back and hitting it once. He then looked some more until he found a cannon...only to find out it's a t-shirt cannon with a shirt that says but t-shirt cannons.
He didn't give up though and kept looking. Walt and Geo looking around as well. Walt found a necklace that wrapped around his head causing him to crash into anther box. Lincoln went to get him out and untangled him. He then saw what was in the box Walt landed on. "Hey dad. I found some of your Cd's."
"Aw man. I could never give those up. You know before I opened the car wash, when I was a one man band travailing the country."
"I know dad." Lincoln said grabbing on of the Cd's and putting it in his pocket. He then continued the search.
"When I came to play at Beach City only on person showed up."
"A bear!" Lincoln said jokingly.
"No it was your mother."
"I know." Lincoln said laughing.
"After that we were always together. Well that is until she gave up her physical form to bring you into the world. Honestly I don't know what a woman like her saw in a dope like me." While he was talking Lincoln had accidentally stepped on something cracking it. He looked down and saw that it was a picture. He started to panic when he saw that the picture was of his dad and mom, Rose Quartz. She was in a white dress and had long pink hair, which made him wonder even more about the white hair on his head. Her eyes were closed as well.
"Um dad. I just stepped on a photo."
"Its fine son. Besides if every lasagna was perfect, we wouldn't have pizza." Right after he said that Lincoln saw a pink glow coming a few feet away from him. He turned around and saw what it was. "It's the light cannon!" He yelled. If he wasn't so excited he might of noticed the connection to the glow and what his dad said.
"Oh boy, that thing is creeping me out." Lynn said looking at the redeye which you could see without a telescope now.
Lincoln tied the rope to the cannon and told his dad to use the van to pull it out. Despite the name the cannon was not light at all and pulled everything out with it.
"We have to get it to the beach!" Lincoln said crawling out.
"How? Its to big for the van!" Lynn Sr. exclaimed. Just then a red wagon rolled over next to them giving them both an idea. They picked up the cannon and were just barley able to put in the wagon which is now tied to the van. The cannon crushed the wagon but it still had the wheels so it would have to do. They got in the van started going to the beach.
"Do you think it will be okay?" Lincoln asked seeing that it was dragging across the pavement.
"I don't know. If every lasagna was perfect-" He started.
"We wouldn't have pizza." Lincoln finished. Lynn Sr. then looked at the redeye again now much closer.
"That thing is huge. It's creeping me out even more."
"Can't we go any faster?" Lincoln asked. His dad pushed on the gas only for it to go to fifty but because of the cannon it wasn't going that fast.
"This is faster!" He exclaimed.
"Hey I know. Let's Listen to your cd." Lincoln said pulling out the one he geabbed. The title is 'Let me Drive My Van (Into Your Heart)
"Really? Come on you've heard that on before."
"You come on!" Lincoln chuckled as he out the disk in the player. Lynn Sr. seems nervous or embarrassed but doesn't object. He just keeps driving to the beach as an electrical guitar starts playing followed by a young voice of Lynn.
(A/N This will be the whole song and what happens in between and during the lyrics. Lyrics will be in bold)
(Singing starts)
'I know I'm not that tall, I know I'm not that smart. But let me drive my van into your heart, let me drive my van into my heart. I know I'm not that rich, I'm trying to get my start. So let me dive my van into mu heart, let me drive my van into my heart.
While this was playing Lincoln was singing along as they drove through the city passing by Penelope, Clyde, and Howard (A.K.A one of Clyde's dads who is Mister Smilley.) They finally reach the beach where they see Lynn Jr. and Lori./'and if we look out of place, well baby that's okay, I'll drive up to outerspace,/ "Throw me again." Luan said swimming back. "I think I'm starting to crack it." She said desperately. She then sees the van and what is behind it. "Is that-" She said not finishing her sentence.
*gasp* Lori gasped. Even Lynn Jr looked shocked.
"He had it." Lori mumbled.
"Were saved." Luan said. Right after that the redeye was so close now that is started to affect the gravity and things like bricks and even Flips sign started flying in the air. The tide also started coming in as well.
"My sign!" Flip said crying.
'Let me drive my van into your heart., let me drive my van into your heart, let me drive my van into your heart, let me drive my van into your heart.'
(End of song)
"We have to use it know!" Lynn Jr. said. They went over to activate but there was a problem...
"I don't know how to start it, it was Rose's!" Lori told them.
"Dad how do we use it?!" Lincoln asked.
"How the heck should I know? Lori doesn't even know!" Lori then grabbed Lincoln going into full panic mode.
"Lincoln this is literally serious. Wait...your gem, you have Rose's gem. You can activate it!
"Of course." Luan said throwing Lincoln onto the cannon. They wait for something to happen but nothing did.
"Stop it. That wont work." Lynn Jr said.
"Then throw me again!" Luan said.
"That's literally not going to work Luan!" Suddenly the van started moving from the waves picking it up. It started to be dragged in the ocean along with the cannon.
"I got it!" Lynn Sr. said. He grabbed the rope only for it to break and now himself being pulled by the gravity. "Nope. Apparently I don't got it!"
"Come on please work. Turn on, activate, go! Please! Come on were all counting on you, you can't be useless. Especially right now!" Lincoln was talking about himself more than the cannon and was starting to cry.
'I wanted to prove myself to the gems. But I can't even get this stupid cannon to start.' He thought to himself.
"It's okay Lincoln we can think of something else. Something even better!" His dad said as if he knew what his son was thinking.
"R-R-right." Was he could say. He was stuttering partially from all the shaking and from being on the verge of crying because he thought he failed. "I-If every lasagna was p-perfect, we wouldn't have pizza."
Suddenly the cannon started to glow again and also started moving on its own. The top started opening until it looked like the top of a rose. Lincoln had lost his balance and fell on his but.
"It's working! It's literally working!" Lori exclaimed.
The cannon then opened a little more before falling to the ground. Lincoln ran up to grab it but it was to heavy for is noodle arms. It suddenly felt a lot lighter. He looked up to see Lynn Jr, Lori and Luan were now holding the cannon pointing it at the redeye as it started to charge.
"Steven!"
"This is it!"
"Brace yourselves!" As soon as Lynn Jr. said that the cannon fired a burst of light taking the shape of Rose and multiple arrows at once. It was a direct hit and caused a giant explosion similar to the destruction of the Death Star. When it was over the sky was at its normal color but there were also giant chunks still heading towards the City. They destroyed the boardwalk but no one was hurt.
"Sorry!" Lincoln yelled to Flip the only person to be seen.
"What!" He yelled back.
"Lincoln! You just saved most of Beach City!" Luan said.
"But how did you get it to work?" Lori asked.
"I just said that thing dad always says."
"About tocos?"
"Pizza." Lynn jr. Said.
"Rose." Lynn Sr said touched that Rose choose that saying as the password for the cannon. Suddenly the waves picked up scooping up the van and dragging it in the ocean.
"My van!" Lynn Sr said.
"It's okay dad. If every-
"I live in there!" He said running to the car/house. Which was hard since he was in water.
"I guess it's a boathouse now!" Luan said.
It's here! Sorry I never posted this sooner. I will try to do more but it is not my biggest priority. And to clear any confusion Rita is Rose. Not a whole lot else to say so on to the reviews.
