I'd like to see his family caring for Lincoln in realistic way, so here it is.

Sorry for bad English.

I rewrited it so that the story can be more persuading.


"Don't you remember this costume?" Lincoln said, tying his blue cloak.

"That's right! It's another time for Ace Savvy comic book convention! Whoo!" He shouted in joy. He was wearing Ace Savvy costume again. And then he started packing things, and looked for some money in his pocket.

"Last time I missed it for some reason, but I won't miss it today." He said, remembering the last time, when he was grounded for taking the blame of Lucy. "And I aslo told Lucy."

Soon he finished packing his stuffs, and hung his blue bag around his shoulder. And he stepped to leave for the hallway. He opened the door to the hallway. There were 10 sisters, as it always did. But one thing they didn't used to do, was they were all looking at him.

"When I see this costume, it always makes me laugh." Lori laughed.

"Yeah. This never gets dull." Lynn also said. And everyone laughed at him.

"Whatever. I'll just go get some snacks to eat in the van." Then Lincoln left for kitchen. He grabbed a box of cookie in the kitchen drawer. And then he was going to the upstairs again.

But a voice interrupted him. "Lincoln, take out the trash!" His mother, Rita shouted. It was his job to take out the trash. But Lincoln expected that, as a man with the plan.

"Mom, I already did all my sister's room!" He spoke confidently.

"Well, you didn't do the living room." She said. The boy just noticed, the trash bin in the living room was full of garbage, almost over the limit. It was the only thing he haven't expected in his plan. He sighed, and went to get his bag.

He put his snack on the table, and collected the disgusting garbage in the bin. Then he went out to take out them. He put the bag into the large can, and everything was done.

"Ooh, look at that nerd!" Someone shouted, on the street. It was a black-haired boy. Lincoln just tried to ignore.

"Dude, I'm speaking to you! White hair!" He shouted again. Lincoln started to get annoyed.

"I know. So what?" Lincoln answered.

"I didn't know someone was still into that childish comics." The boy said.

"Hey, don't say Ace Savvy like that!"

"And just look at your costume. Old blue towel, red handkerchief, are you the 'environment protector' hero?" He laughed. Lincoln just realized, that he was still wearing the costume. "Or should I say, Ace Recycler?"

"It's just-"

"Oh, I get it now." The boy said sarcastically. "Cause no one's gonna want to waste money on such a lame thing." He spoke.

"Just get off!" Lincoln shouted. He growled out of anger, especially when he mentioned 'no one', because that implies his family. No one can talk about his best, caring family like that.

The boy laughed, and just walked away. Lincoln thought, great event always accompanies bad things. And this was one of them, making him feel not that good. He even thought of not going to the convention.

"Let's just go to the convention." He said to himself. "Forget about that, Linc." He couldn't be depressed, having the best convention around the corner. However, it still lingered in his brain. He just came inside to finish his things. He grabbed the snack once again, and stepped on the stair to go to the second floor.

Then he heard, the 10 sisters' talking without him. Soon, he could recognize a word 'Lincoln', said by Lisa. He decided to overhear them, as he wanted to know how his sisters would think of him, especially that day.

"I can't believe that he's actually still believing that kind of stuff. Ghost hunter? Video game tester? Hero? Unrealistic." Lisa said, rolling her eyes. It was her first sentence, for Lincoln. He was shocked, that he almost shouted out a word. He tried to hear them silently, as it was their real evaluation for him. But it was too bad.

Lincoln thought to comfort himself, sure she can evaluate him like that. Because she doesn't believe any non-science. Unfortunately, the conversation continued.

"Yeah. And that's not actually even 'job'. Does he think he can really make money with that?" Lori spoke, chatting on her phone.

"When will he move out of that kind of dumb stuff? Exercising is way better." Lynn said, tossing balls by herself.

"And it's not also scientifically correct." Lisa added.

"And yeah. Maybe, he's too sort of... Childish." Even Leni spoke.

"He's lame. Well but thanks to that, he always brings us joy." Lori spoke, and everyone laughed again.

Lincoln overheard all of these. The words pierced through his heart sharply, not like usual. Was it because of the happening before? He didn't know. The only thing he knew was that his sister was actually hating his useless, unrealistic activities. He had nothing to say, as he knew they were true. Even tears tried to get in his eyes. He worried if Bun-Bun would listen to them.

He just went into his room, without a word. The sisters all became silent when Lincoln came upstairs, as if nothing happened. He closed the door. Then he changed his clothes back to normal, and lied on the bed. Soon, Lori came in.

"Lincoln, Hurry! Everyone's ready." she said. "And if you don't come right now, you won't be able to go to that Ace Savvy or whatever like that."

"Nope. I changed my mind." He replied with depressed voice.

"Really? Won't you regret that?" Lori asked, as she knew it was one of Lincoln's favorite comics.

"No, nothing. Just feeling not good." He responded. Lori just closed the door and went out.

That night, everyone except Lincoln was playing in the living room. Lori on her phone, Lynn with her sports and everyone like that, as usual. Then Leni noticed something shiny in the trash bin.

"Guys, isn't that Lincoln's figure?" Leni asked.

"Yeah. Guess who did this?" Lynn said, looking at Leni suspiciously.

"This wasn't me this time. I promise! Lily, did you do that?"

"Poo-poo." Lily babbled.

"Guess she is innocent, but not with the smells." Luan chuckled, holding her nose.

"It's Lincoln's turn. Luan, bring her to Lincoln. He's maybe playing games." Lori said.

Luan walked to Lincoln's room with Lily. She knocked the door, and walked into his room.

"Lincoln, it's your turn to-" Luan was shocked at what she saw. Lincoln was throwing away his comic books into trash can, which was already filled with many costumes and figures. One comic was even ripped into pieces. And his desk was clean and empty, except his stuffed rabbit, Bun-Bun.

"Lincoln? What are you doing?" Luan concerned.

"Just doing some cleans. Oh, it's my turn to change her diaper." Lincoln said casually.

"But don't you think you put some wrong items in the can?"

"No. I'm just trying to be useful, and this is the first step." Lincoln replied, while changing Lily's daper. "Like everything's start is dumping old things."

"This one was your favorite!" Luan asked, looking at a figure from the trash can.

"Yup, it used to be, when I was dumb. But I know now. This has no use." Lincoln said, as he threw away another comic book into the trash can.

Luan went downstairs, and shouted.

"Lincoln's acting weird!"

"Yeah, he always does." Lori said.

"No, he's throwing away all his comic books and costumes!" Luan continued. Everyone gasped. They seemed to be little surprised.

"Did he just heard what we talked?" Lucy spoke.

"Nah. He's probably just exhausted." Lola just said, looking on her mirror.

"Yeah. I once suddenly became bored of sports, so I sold all of my balls." Lynn said on the sofa. "But one day later I couldn't bear it, so I returned to sports. And I had to buy them all again, expensively."

"He'll be fine. Let's just don't throw away them, just in case he looks for that lame things again." Lori said casually, and continued looking on her phone.

The next day, Lynn went out for her game with her baseball cap and bat. She waited for the bus to arrive. Then, she heard a hammering sound. Lincoln was putting a sign on the yard, spelling 'garage sale'.

"Garage sale? I thought we did that last month." She asked.

"No... I'm doing this personally to clean up. and I can also get money." Them he put out some DVDs, figures, and comics.

"Star Groopers? King of the Ring? These were your favorites! Are you sick?" Lynn shocked. But Lincoln kept silence.

"Hey, are you selling this?" One boy came by. he stared at many DVDs.

"Yeah. $2 for each." Lincoln replied.

"Oh. I'd like these two. Thanks. What a fortune!" He grabbed two DVDs and left 4 dollars. Then he left.

"Are you serious now? Won't you regret that?" Lynn asked anxiously.

"Serious or what? Do you think I still believe these non-scentific stuffs?" Lincoln answered seriously. "This is impossible. And thus it's useless. I won't waste anymore." He spoke, almost overwhelming Lynn. She haven't heard her brother saying that seriously. Lynn just had to leave.


Some days later, Lincoln came back home from school. He was carrying a shiny queen-shaped thing. He opened the door, and came inside.

"Mom, I won the chess tournament." He said soulessly.

"Really? Congratulations." Mom answered, while doing the dishes.

"And I also got certification for getting highest score in school." He said, as showing a blue marked paper from his bag.

"Great job. Now you're truely interested in study! I'm proud of you." Rita said, impressed at her only son.

"Definitely." He said, but his face didn't seem like a number one's face. He just went to trophy case, and opened the window.

"I see you've won your first official gold-plated symbol of winning." Someone appeared next to Lincoln. It was the smartest child in his family- Lisa.

"Yeah, I won a trophy." He answered casually.

"But your face looks lack of serotonin. it means-"

"I know. I don't look happy, but I should be useful in this way." He replied, and put the trophy and certification inside, along with home-made trophy that has been there.

"Kids, dinner!" Lynn Sr shouted. Everyone rushed to kitchen. There were pizzas there, oddly.

"Father, I think we were supposed to have Turkey loaf on Thesdays." Lori asked.

"Today is special. Lincoln just won the chess tournament! So I prepared his favorite food." Lynn Sr. shouted in joy.

"And he got the highest score in school! Everyone, cheers for Lincoln!" Rita said.

"Lincoln! Lincoln!" Everyone cheered. Lincoln just came, and was a little surprised to find out pizza. He smiled a bit.

"Well, thanks. This is the only way I can be useful." He said. Everyone got a little confused. but soon, they forgot about it and started to enjoy pizza.

That night, everyone was doing their own things. Lori was doing her math homework by herself, since the test was near. She walked along the hallway to her room.

"Lori, you forgot integral constant C."

"Thanks, Lisa- wait, Lincoln? How did you know?" Lori asked, surprised.

"That's just easy." He replied. Then he just walked away.

"Brother, I require assistance." Lisa opened door. Lincoln was playing games, but seemed bored.

"What is it?"

"I need someone to witness my experiment. I gurantee it won't be dangerous." She said

"...I say why not." Then he headed to Lisa's room with her. The room was filled with black boards full of formulas and lab things, as usual. But the new thing was a giant glass sphere in the center of the room.

"And let the experiment begin!" Lisa then pushed down the lever. The sparks were made in a glass, but nothing happened.

"Gah! Again? Why I can't do anything without mistakes..." She groaned.

"Wait, this is the formula you used?" Lincoln asked, looking on a board.

"Yeah. Is there a calculation mistake?"

"No. But don't you need to use theory of relativity when handling near-light velocity objects?"

"W- God. Silly me." She paused, and punched her head. Then she erased all the formulas and rewrited them within a minute.

"Now let's get into it." And She pushed down the lever again, and some plasmas were made in the glass. Blue rays filled the glass like lightning, making zapping sounds.

"Good! I appreciate you brother." She complimented. "By the way, how did you know it?"

"Well, it's a student's thing to study." He just answered.

"Now, off to finish my boring game." Then he left for his room.

"Lincoln!" The twins called him. He could never be free in this house. He sighed, and turned. "So, what's up?" He said.

"Will you join my tea party?" The one with pink dress said.

"And my animals are gonna join it too!" Lana said. Frogs were on her shoulder, and a mouse climbed up Lincoln.

"Tea party is not helpful. Lola, just practice your dance more." He said, as he catched the mouse on him and returned it to Lana. "And Lana, first tame them." They walked away with disappointed face.

"Hey Linc." Lucy popped up and scared Lincoln.

"Any words that rhyme with damp?" She asked.

"Um... I think the problem is, you are not talented in poem. Do something useful, other than playing with words." He answered, then walked away.

"What..." She tried to talk, but he disappeared.

"He wasn't like this..." She said to herself. "What made him like that?" Lincoln was one of the person who cared for her the most. He used to help Lucy with her personal problems. But how, could that caring Lincoln change like this? She wondered, staring at Lincoln.

Meanwhile, Lincoln finally got to the door of his room. He opened it, but a thought came into his mind. He turned around.

"Did you enjoy pizza?" He suddenly asked.

"Yeah, totally!" Leni said.

"I don't wanna agree this, but good job, Lincoln." said Lori. They weren't that nagative, fortunately.

"When I won beauty pageant, they bought me nothing. But why Lincoln?" Lola said agressively, probably for the revenge of rejecting her tea party. "Good, good."

"Okay." He went into his room with this single word. Them he closed the door, and started to think what they were meaning. Especially, Lola's. He would get over it normally, but he didn't. He couldn't ignore a single word.

"What does it mean why Lincoln?" He thought. "That means my winning was special. What makes they say that? Because they expected nothing, because..."

"Man." A drop of tear formed in his eyes. "This was not enough."
