Well, here it is. The long awaited kinda sequel to Lincolns Origin.

Autumn. That time of year where the leaves fell from the trees, people drank pumpkin flavored beverages, and everyone decorated their houses with gourds for some reason. Autumn brought with it the magical time of thanksgiving. And nowhere was that holiday celebrated more reverently then the Loud house. Where the inhabitants almost seemed at peace, contemplating what they were all thankful for.

"Move out the way!"

"Commin through!"

"Watch out!"

Well, mostly at peace.

Inside the Loud family was rushing around, doing last minute cleaning in order to prepare their home for their guests. Everyone was doing their part, getting up last minute crumbs and scraps, quadruple checking their rooms and making sure their youngest hadn't thrown around any dirty diapers.

One Loud in particular seemed nervous as he plucked half-finished comic books off the coffee table, lest they get thrown away in the madness.

Clutching his creations to his chest, he noticed the readers looking at him and talked back to them as he walked back to his room.

"Yeah, things are pretty crazy this time of year. Thanksgiving in the Loud house is always a big event but this year is special. See, on top of our usual guests of the McBrides, me and Lori managed to talk my parents into inviting Ronnie Anne and the Casagrandes to spend the holiday with us. We also decided to invite Mr. Grouse since we didn't want him to be alone like he was on Christmas and Luna's girlfriend Sam even said she'd be here too. With over 22 people coming to our house this year the place is going to be so packed we can't even eat inside."

After depositing the fruits of his labor in his room, Lincoln ran back downstairs where his father ran past him with a raw turkey in a pan.

"Turkey #3 coming through!"

Lincoln ducked out the way to avoid being plowed into by his dinner, then turned back to the audience. "My dad has been cooking for the past two days and he's still not close to being done. Something tells me we won't be able to get that turkey smell out of the house for a while this year."

He walked through the kitchen, where his dad was cooking at an intense pace, and into the backyard where Luna, Leni, and Lori were all helping set up the table and tent they were using for dinner.

"I finished lighting the Jack-o-Lantern!" Leni said proudly.

Lori face palmed. "Leni, for the millionth time, this is a thanksgiving dinner!"

Leni frowned. "But then, what do I do with these chocolate eater eggs?" She asked, holding out a basket of colorful candy eggs.

"I'll take one of those." Said Luna. She grabbed an egg and took a bite before returning to setting up her amp. "And Lor, Why are you wound up so tight?"

"Because, this'll be the first thanksgiving I've spent with my boo-boo-bear. I want everything to be perfect." Lori said, grabbing an egg from Leni's basket.

"Just chillax sis. My lady is gonna be chowing with us too, but you don't see me freaking out."

"Luna your chill about everything. You never freak out." She noticed Lincoln by the door. "Lincoln, your girlfriends coming to dinner, aren't you the slightest bit worried?"

Lincoln rolled his eyes. "Ronnie Anne's not my girlfriend." He repeated for about the millionth time. "And what would I have to be worried about?"

"Uh, how about how you're dressed? Don't you think maybe it might be better to dress up for her?"

Lincoln looked down. He didn't see anything wrong with how he was dressed. It was just his usual attire of a button up orange shirt with black stripes opened over an Ace Savvy T-shirt, Khakis, and red sneakers. Hanging from his side was his black satchel.

Lincoln shrugged. "I don't see anything wrong with my look."

"I don't know Linky. You might wanna lose the purse. If Ronnie Anne has one, it'll look tacky if you both wear one." Leni said. Lori and Luna snickered.

Lincolns face burned bright. "Ronnie Anne won't have a purse Leni. And this isn't a purse!" Ever since he'd gotten his satchel, he'd found himself on the end of far too many jokes by his sisters.

Lori smirked. "What, she hasn't given you any grief about it?"

Lincoln suddenly looked nervous. "Well actually…..I haven't really talked to her in a while."

He felt his sisters eyes narrow on him. "And just how long is a while?" Lori asked.

Lincoln loudly gulped, knowing they wouldn't like the answer. "…..Since before I started making comics." He admitted.

Their response was almost instant.

"What!?"

"Dude!"

"Lincoln! Why would you wait this long to contact her!?" Lori asked angrily.

Lincoln raised his hands in defense. "I've been busy! What with making comics for the shop at the mall, making comics for you guys, and doing tons of research and stuff, My schedule's been booked. Whatever downtime I do have, I spend it relaxing or with you guys. I was gonna call her after we heard the results of the contest but…..well…."

That took the anger out of them. They still remembered how just two months ago, their brother had found he had a talent for creating comics and entered a comic book competition. Fearful he wouldn't be able to spend as much time with them, the girls had worked to sabotage his efforts. But upon seeing he had made the comics to be closer to them, they had helped get his comic book published as a way of trying to make amends. That had been months ago and there were still moments where Lincoln was a bit frosty to them.

"So you seriously haven't talked to her in all this time? She hasn't tried to call or text or anything?" Lori asked.

"Now that you mention it, no she hasn't." He said worriedly. "I hope everything's okay with her."

"Well, we'll see soon." Suddenly Lori's phone beeped. She checked it and panicked. "Bobby says they just passed they're old house. I have to go get ready!" She rushed back into the house.

Luna walked over and placed her hand on Lincoln's shoulder. "Don't worry bro. I'm sure things will be alright with you and your lady. Now if you'll exscuse me, I'm going to get prepared to see mine." She walked back inside too.

Finally Leni came up to him with an encouraging smile. "Good luck with Ronnie Anne Lincoln. I hope things go alright with you guys."

That made him give a small smile. "Thanks Leni."

She grew excited. "I'm gonna go and get our shamrocks and our heart shaped cards."

"Leni wait! That's not-!" But she had already ran off.

Lincoln sighed. He would just have to deal with whatever happened with him and Ronnie Anne. After all, things couldn't go that badly right?

I'm always amazed how every year, on the day after halloween people consider it christmas time (I say that knowing I still have an unfinished halloween story laying around like extra candy). So, I decided to craft a Loud House Thanksgiving tale to enchant and remind us all the joys of the Thanksgiving season. This story isn't just about Ronnie Anne and Lincoln. They're whole families plus the the McBrides will be there so there will be many interesting tales to tell, specifically 5 tales. Spoiler alert: By the end of this story, there will be two new couples and another major revelation in the Loud House. And for the Lincoln and Ronnie Anne thing, I felt like this is something that might happen. Being a comic book maker is probably a super busy job that takes up a lot of time. Plus it gives me a reason for why she wasn't in the first story. Please review and let me know what you think
