A/N: I'm back baby, yeah! Hello all, I'm sure you were all waiting for this one. Personally, speaking, I love all the Loud sisters, but I'm partial to Luna and Lynn myself. Now to the Reviews!

Rider Fang: Glad it was worth the wait, and you are right when it comes to Lincoln, he would rather fight to protect his sisters than the other way around. However, will he get powers, or won't he? You'll just have to wait and see.

Dogspirit1: Also, glad you've liked this story! And while you're right about the fact that the nine of them could create a utopia, what fun and drama is there in going big right out the gate? However, there's nothing saying that that might be the end result. Still deciding on whether or not to give Lincoln powers, I have been beating around some ideas. Do I keep him as the unpowered middle child or do I turn him into a cosmic powered super? Decisions, decisions…

Mark the Mark: Good to be back! Yeah, like I said, when it comes to Slice-of-Life, I'm not big on it. I can read it, but writing it is, ugh! Sometimes I don't know if I'm not putting in too little or putting in too much? Well, hopefully this is better, I tried to keep it more concise.

Guest 1/EliteSlayer103: Oh, you have no idea…

Cookie Warlord: To answer your Lana and Lucy questions. I struggled with them. Some of the Loud sisters have dual traits, especially these two. Lana is animal lover and a great mechanic. But since Lisa already has techno powers, it seemed redundant to have someone else get powers of that nature, so I went with the other, animal. As far as Lucy is concerned. Eh, she could go full vamp if she wanted to, she's practically the sorceress supreme of their dimension, so there's nothing saying she could turn herself into one. In the end, I'm comfortable with my power choices.

Okay, 'nough of that, time for the Luna date people! Be warned, this chapter does contain a song that I cobbled together. I wrote with Luna in mind, so…yeah, if it sucks, it sucks. Onward!

Luna paced about the inside of her Asgardian bedroom. She was nervous and stoked at the exact same time, she must've called Sam at least ten times now. Before, she was confident as hell about her date with Lincoln, now that the actual day was here, all that confidence just evaporated like an ice cube on a sidewalk in the middle of summer. Luna took out her cellphone again and called Sam. The phone rang twice before it was picked up.

{Luna, you called me at 5:00, 5:10, 5:15, 5:30, and 5:45. Then another round at 6:01, 6:16, 6:28, 6:37, and now 6:50. And as I've told you almost a dozen times…You'll. Be. Fine.}

Luna rubbed the back of her head, feeling bad that she had interrupted her girlfriend's sleep so many times. "I-I know, and I'm sorry, really, Luv, I am! But…this is the thing I've been dreamin' about – aside from rock 'n roll fame. I-I just want this to be perfect, y'know?"

Sam chuckled on the other end. {Luna Loud, there is no such thing as the perfect date. There's always something off about every date, no matter how much planning you do, no matter much of a control freak someone can be, there are just things that cannot be controlled. And sometimes those things end up making a date that much more memorable. Remember our first date?}

How could she forget? In retrospect, making a contest your first date probably wasn't the smartest thing in the world. Luna and Sam found how little they had in common during the Astonishing Race that they almost broke up because they thought they were incompatible. However, thankfully, they realized that that was alright, they could like different things, but part of a relationship – as Lori told her – is embracing each other's likes, and also finding things that they both liked together.

"Heh…yeah, that was kinda messed up," said Luna.

{Yep, and honestly, I wouldn't have changed a thing. Because I know more about you, and you know more about me. You've already got a leg up on this date, I mean, you and Lincoln have lived under the same roof for years. You've watched him grow up and he's watched you grow up. You both know each other's likes and dislikes, so really, the only thing you need to do is convince him that you're the perfect girl for him. And, I meant what I said before, out of all the girls in that house, I think you and him would make the best match.}

Luna's heart swelled with love, not just for Lincoln, but for Sam as well. Sam Sharp really was the best girlfriend in the world, she was willing to accept her crazy family, and her taboo love for her little brother. "Sam, Luv, you're the best, I love you."

{I love you too. Now go and sweep Lincoln off his feet. I'm getting kind of excited about this three way relationship thing.}

"Awesome, I'll talk to you later when it's over."

{Oh, and Luna.}

"Yeah, Luv?"

{I'm going to be very honest right now. I love you, but if you call me one more time before nine – cosmic powers or not – I'm going to come over there, ask Lisa to make me something that even you can't defend against! Hit you with it, and take Lincoln for my damn self!}

Luna gulped at the threat, and then chuckled nervously.

Lincoln would be lying if he said that he wasn't looking forward to this date. Out of his ten sisters, if there was one that he had to absolutely name as being closer to than the others, it would be Luna, with Lucy coming in at second. He loved her rock and roll, free spirited style, sure her music could bust your eardrums, but it was still good. Plus, she taught him how to knit lanyards that also doubled as ropes, something of which came in handy when he and Clyde tried to "prove their manliness".

The eleven-year-old opened his door and saw Luna leaning against the wall closest to the stairs. She was wearing a pair of torn up purple shorts that rode high on her thighs, almost to the point of being called short-shorts. She was also sporting a black Metallica shirt with the sleeves cut off. Her paper clip earring was still there, part of her signature look. Lincoln was actually taken by the rocker look she had going on, with her new aged up appearance and long brown hair with purple, lightning bolt highlights, she looked the picturesque rock and roll fan.

"S'up lil' bro," said Luna.

"Morning," Lincoln replied happily.

Luna leaned forward and turned to face her brother. "What do you think? I didn't want to get overdressed, but wanted to stay comfortable."

Lincoln gulped, his eyes couldn't help but wander up Luna's creamy legs, spotted with freckles, and then the shirt, which seemed to hug her newly acquired C-cup breasts. "You look good, Luna."

Luna gave her little brother a half-lidded. "Good? Or really good?"

Lincoln gulped, again. "Uh…r-really good."

Luna strode over to Lincoln and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "You know you don't have to be embarrassed about checkin' me out, Linc. I want you to look at me, because it's you and me for the rest of this day."

Lincoln blushed, but understood, if he was to be successful in this endeavor, and fully see his sisters as the girls they are, he needed to not feel ashamed about staring at them. "Alright, so, what's on the agenda for today?"

Luna remembered the talk the girls had last night about power usage, but for this date, she was going to need to travel. The goddess of rock 'n roll pulled out her cellphone and showed Lincoln website that was announcing a music festival. "It's goin' down a few miles from here, definitely passed that little military thing they got on the outskirts."

"That sounds cool, how are we – oh, wait, you're flying me there aren't you?" Lincoln asked.

"Heh! Dude, I'll turn us into lightning! We'll there before you can say–!"

A crash of thunder broke through the house as Luna and Lincoln turned into lightning, zipping around until they pierced through the roof and headed straight for the festival. Upon doing this, the house repaired itself, still under the influence of Lisa's Omni Code hack. The twin bolts of lightning zipped through the air, crossing miles in a matter of seconds as Royal Woods rushed passed them, and then the National Guard base that was set up, and finally they made it to their destination, a little out of the way place close by the forest. The two lightning bolts aimed for the trees, weaving around branches until they landed side by side in a small clearing.

" –rock n' roll!"

Lincoln blinked and then realized that he was no longer in the hallway of their house. Large pine trees were everywhere, and not too far away he could hear the sounds of music. "Whoa…"

Luna took Lincoln's hand into her own and said, "C'mon!" She led the two of them through the woods and towards the music. After a minute of walking, the two Louds exited the forest and were now at the opening of the "Gods of Rock Music Festival". "Stay close to me while we're in here."

"Oh…do bad things happen? I've never been to one of these," said Lincoln.

"I mean stuff happens anywhere, but people tend to get a little freaky at music fests. Especially when they camp out here, lightin' up a duby, drinkin', and of course the occasional hook up," said Luna. "But don't worry, there's still a lot of stuff to do 'round here."

Lincoln wasn't too worried with Luna around, he knew she had been to these kinds of things more than once, either with the knowing knowledge of their parents and sometimes without because of how late they would go into the night. But then again, Luna usually had Chunk there to take her and bring her back, the older British man was a great guy so no one worried about him hurting Luna.

The two Louds went along the venues, grabbing a program to see who was playing where and at what times. In between those shows, other would-be rockers held their own concerts to try and drum up a fan base for themselves. Luna and Lincoln moved to a concert headed up by a punk rock band, which was Luna's jam. Lincoln didn't have an ear for music like Luna did, but he could appreciate it, he liked SMOOCH, and these guys were in the same genre, and he found himself head banging along with Luna.

After that band finished they went to one of the numerous food trucks and bought some Mexican food. They sat at an open picnic table and chowed down, Lincoln hadn't realized how hungry he had gotten until after it was over, you'd think he was up there playing with a band.

"Havin' fun so far, Linc?" Luna asked.

"Totally!" Lincoln answered.

"Just wait, I'm goin' to show you all kinds of different music around here, it's a great place to immerse yourself in the art and soul of it all…" Luna's happy expression faltered a bit, and Lincoln picked up on it.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, sorry, don't worry about it," said Luna.

Lincoln crossed his arms and gave his big sister a scrutinizing look. "Luna, tell me what's wrong. I can tell something's on your mind."

Luna sighed, she really didn't want to sour their date with what happened a few days ago, but she could tell that Lincoln wasn't going to let her drop it. When it came to his sisters and their troubles, he was like a dog with a bone, won't let it go no matter what. "You know how I was auditioning for a music contest a few days ago? On that day when we all got BVed?"

"Yeah…"

Luna told Lincoln the story of what happened, how the two hosts/producers of America's Next Hitmaker were also the ones running the contest that Luna had entered. She overheard both Doug and Michelle talking with the judges about why they weren't going to pick her, and of course she barged in. When she was done, Lincoln was practically red in the face, anger boiling in his veins like molten slag at how poorly those two treated Luna.

"Those…Those…Assholes! They can't do that to you!" Lincoln declared.

"Well, they did, and it's done," said Luna.

"We should tell someone! Especially about that part about you being a lesbian, first off: your bisexual, second: that's just discrimination on top of everything else!" Lincoln ranted.

Luna smiled at how worked up her little brother was getting on her behalf. "Dude, chill out, it's fine. My priorities kind of changed when I turned into this," she gestured to herself with her hands, "now, the only thing I care about is you and Sam. I mean, I'm a rock 'n roll goddess now! What do I care about being on TV or whatever?"

"Oh Christ, of course she'd be here."

Luna's left eye twitched when she heard that voice. She slowly turned her head and nearly called down a lightning bolt upon seeing Doug and Michelle. "What, in the ever lovin' hell are you two douchebags doing here?!"

Both TV hosts were wearing the same outfits the last time she saw them in person. And both of them were just as angry to see Luna here as she was them.

"One of our talents is playing here, and we've brought a crew to film the entire thing," said Doug.

"And what are you doing here?" Michelle looked at Lincoln and smiled wickedly. "Oh, I see, you got dumped by that lesbo and now you're moving up to pedophilia, real nice hun."

Lincoln slammed his palm onto the table and said, "I'm her brother!"

"Oh, pardon me," Michelle feigned contriteness. "But that's even sadder, you can't get a grown man so you're getting it from your little brother?"

"Wow, that is just saaaaaaad," said Doug.

The low rumble of thunder echoed in the sky as storm clouds were slowly gathering overhead. The wind was picking up, slowly, as if nature was deliberately trying to hide that a storm was brewing. But Lincoln knew better, this wasn't natural, no, Luna was causing this. He looked up and sure enough some dark patches were forming here and there, it wouldn't be long before the sky was covered by dark gray clouds and the fury of the heavens would be called down upon Michelle and Doug. Personally, Lincoln was very much willing to let things play out and watch Luna smite the two dumbasses before him. On the other hand…he really didn't want his sister to murder them. Hurt them? Kinda-sorta-yeah, but not kill them.

Lincoln got out of his seat and grabbed Luna by the wrist, "Luna, let's go."

"Bruh…let go of me," Luna warned.

"Look, these guys are on the highway to hell anyway, let's just let them get there on their own." Luna looked like she wanted to leave, but her anger was telling her to just get rid of them. "Luna, c'mon!"

Luna didn't want to leave, but Lincoln was squeezing on her wrist and staring at her intensely, it was enough to snap her to her senses as she got up and let Lincoln lead her away.

"Ah, guess the little brother's the man of the house," said Michelle.

"That's a sad house if that kid is what passes for a man," Doug added.

Thunder roared through the sky as Luna turned on her heel and waltzed up to Doug. "You don't know what a real man is! Of course, I wouldn't expect that from you or this walking bitch with a mouth! My bro's twice the man you could ever hope to become, sadly there's no hope for you, Doug!"

Before Doug could get his two cents in, Luna returned to Lincoln's side and let him lead her away again. They passed by several booths until they were out of sight from Doug and Michelle, they then broke off and went into the woods where Luna could cool down. Lincoln watched the sky as the clouds finally scattered and the rumble of thunder faded away.

"You okay?" Lincoln asked.

Luna was leaning against a tree as she ran her hands down her face. "Honestly, bro…no. I wanted this date to be perfect, and those two just riled me up. I almost killed them just now in front you, if you hadn't gotten me out there that is…"

Lincoln walked up and patted Luna on her left arm. "It's alright, the day isn't over yet."

"Yeah…but I don't know if I can stay here knowing that those two are here. They'll just rag on us any chance they get," said Luna.

Lincoln narrowed his eyes as a devious smirk appeared on his face. "Oh, we're staying, and we're getting some payback while we are. The nonlethal kind, but at the same time, one that will hit them right where it hurts the most!"

Luna cocked her eyebrow as she listened to her little brother. "I like what layin' down so far, Linc. You goin' to do your 'Man with the Plan' thing?"

"Damn right." Lincoln took out his cellphone. "Lisa, I'm pretty sure you bugged my phone and are listening to me right now. If you did, I'm not mad because I need to talk to you."

Luna and Lincoln waited a few seconds, but then the screen changed to a green color and a symbol appeared on it, that of a fairy with pixelated wings. {Elder brother, I'm sorry, I know I can see you all through the satellites, but I felt extra security was warranted. Yesterday's incident made me a little paranoid.}

"Like I said, not even mad, but I need your help with something, it's regarding Luna."

{…Lincoln, per the agreed upon rules that you yourself established, we are not permitted to interfere with the dates of our fellow siblings.}

"Look, I know, but this is different, I'm making an exception! Listen…" Lincoln explained what happened, the competition that Luna went to on the Saturday of the Black Vortex's arrival, and to the exchange that happened a couple of minutes ago. "And that's what happened."

{I see…I assume you have a plan dear brother, or have you called to request I take them out with a precisely fired beam attack? Or, if you wish, I can financially bankrupt them to the point that they'll be living on the streets until the day they die.}

The first option was a no go, the second…it was a good backup plan, but he wasn't too keen on making a lot of people who work under Doug and Michelle lose their jobs. "We'll circle around to that second option in case mine doesn't pan out. But, yes, I do have a plan!"

"By the way, Lise, how the hell are you talking to us right now? I thought those military guys confiscated your phone when you got in?" Luna asked.

Actually, Lincoln was curious about that.

{Oh, simple really. I am currently speaking to you through a form of technopathic thought transference. In layman's terms, I'm talking to you via my brain. Right now I'm still working and talking to my colleague as I am talking to you, my thought processing abilities allow me to multitask at an unprecedented level. Allowing me to have a conversation with you and my colleague with neither being the wiser.}

Luna and Lincoln blinked, that was crazy. Lisa was talking to them, but at the same time, she was talking to one of her scientist friends at the same time and even doing other things.

"Wow, okay, well here's what I'll need your help with…"

"Excuse me, why am I going to some music festival three counties over?!"

"Katherine, we got a request from the studio to show something upbeat and fun, music is one of those things that everyone can enjoy."

"Our town has become a hotbed for supernatural happenings! For god's sake, we practically have Smallville going on here! I need to be out there, trying to find out what's going on! If you're going to send me anywhere, send me to that Forward Operating Base the National Guard setup on the outskirts!"

"Katherine, we don't have any kind of credentials or pull to make that happen. And the military has enforced a serious blackout order regarding their activities, no news copters, or reporters unless they authorize it. Just run the fluff piece for now, tomorrow, you can start you hunt or whatever, with my blessing."

Katherine Mulligan was a reporter for Channel 3 News, she was a local girl, wanting to make it big into network news, but of course, the only way to do that is by reporting on big, hard hitting stories. Royal Woods lacked such action, but it had its interesting moments, definitely never dull. Still, it wasn't anything that would catapult her career. Now though, the town had been invaded by super powered women. No one knew if they were still around until yesterday when one of them appeared in Dairyland and saved a rollercoaster full of people, and apparently that white haired boy whom Katherine mistook for being rich and important a long time ago.

Although, she wondered if she would even be able to get any kind of video footage of the incidents. Almost immediately after any kind of footage was obtained of the super teens it was erased, as if some unseen force was purposefully erasing their tracks, they even managed to get into the cellphones and wipe away the footage, or alter it so that faces weren't seen. It honestly scared her a little, if this unseen force was working with the super teens, it was able to hack countless mobile devices at once and erase the footage in less than a second after it was taken.

If I do try and get anything regarding them it'll have to be written, but then again, who's to say that they can't erase anything I write on paper?! Ugh, these guys make comic book characters seem tame with their powers. Are we sure they aren't some long forgotten mythological gods that just decided to pop in on us mortals?

It was an interesting thought, considering all the property damage that was done from the earthquakes was just fixed as if nothing had happened, Katherine was suspecting that they might just be gods. After a few minutes Katherine and her cameraman Drew arrived at the "Gods of Rock Music Festival".

Katherine couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of what she was thinking about earlier and what she was seeing now. "Heh, maybe we'll see 'em here?"

"What's that Kat?" Drew asked.

"Nothing, just wondering if we'll get a visit from those super teens here," said Katherine.

Drew shuddered, "I hope not, they could destroy the whole town if they wanted to."

Katherine smirked. "And that's exactly why I want to find them! Why haven't they destroyed the town? Why are they still here? What is so special about Royal Woods that they're willing to stay? Or, a more provocative thought, who are they staying for?"

Drew cocked an eyebrow. "You think they're staying here because they're looking for someone?"

"Either that, or it's because that someone lives here and they don't want to leave. Wonder if this someone's a person they love?" Katherine mused.

"Or someone they hate, not trying to be sexist or anything, but you know the old saying. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'. And here we have the equivalent of goddesses walking around…"

Katherine tapped her chin. "Yeah, that's another possibility. But I don't think so, if there was someone in Royal Woods they hated so much, then they'd just wipe the town off the face of the Earth and be done with it. Get this person in one shot. Although…what if they all live here? Eh, food for thought, c'mon, let's go and shoot some fluff."

Katherine and Drew exited the car and began their rounds around the festival grounds.

Luna had forgone her nervousness, with Lincoln's payback plan, she was totally stoked. His plan was simple enough, Lisa would use her techno powers to create a stage for Luna to perform on. Lisa was remotely using her powers to create a perception deflection field, making it so that no one saw or paid attention to the creation of the stage, or Lincoln and Luna's presence. When the field goes down, as Lisa told them, it will be as if the stage had always been there.

When the stage was complete, the second phase would start. Lisa would send out a mass update to the program of the festival that would include a solo act by Luna at around the same time as Doug and Michelle's latest prospect was about to go on. It was going to be a battle of the bands, and if Lisa's calculations were correct, Royal Woods media should be there by now to offer their own coverage of the rock event.

Luna and Lincoln spotted Katherine Mulligan immediately. While they wouldn't be killing them in the biblical sense, they were going to kill their pride. They were going to steal their client's spotlight and show them, and everyone else, why Luna Loud was the best rocker around. It would also go down that Doug and Michelle passed on such talent, and make them out to be the two most idiotic people for doing that.

"Nervous?" Lincoln asked.

"Not one bit, lil' bro. The stage is where I belong, the one place where nerves don't exist, only music," said Luna.

"Well, good, 'cause I got a secondary surprise that will put the nail in their coffins," said Lincoln deviously

Luna smirked. "What would that be?"

"Oh trust me, it'll be better if you don't know. Just go out there and be you, Luna Loud," said Lincoln confidently.

Luna took a knee and brought herself level with Lincoln. Without a word spoken, she placed her hands on his face and brought his lips to hers. At this point, Lincoln had resigned himself to the fact that his dates were going to end up with him Frenching his sisters one way or another, so the shock factor had lessened since Lori. Although, Lincoln could tell a distinct difference in the way his sisters kissed. Lori, while tame, had a sense of authority, as if she was taking the lead. Leni was gentle and caring.

Luna, Luna was passionate, she'd taken her right hand away and wrapped it around Lincoln, bringing him closer to her as she titled his head back, invading his mouth with her tongue, and Lincoln reciprocated.

When they broke the kiss Lincoln had a dreamy look in his eyes to match Luna's.

"Wish me luck," she said.

"You don't need it, just rock on," said Lincoln.

Stood up and held out her left hand. Purple lightning crackled around it, gathering and solidifying until it snapped with a crack of thunder and transformed into a pure guitar construct. Lincoln looked at the instrument, noticing that it looked almost like a normal guitar, but upon closer inspection, you could see sparks of electricity coming off of it. Luckily nobody would be able to notice from a distance, and if they do, they could write it off as a special effect due to the Glamour charm.

The stage was finally completed and Luna hopped up onto it, noticing that there were a lot of machines that were set up to provide special effects, but they were just for show, as Luna was going to be doing the effects herself. Lincoln walked backstage and pulled out his cellphone. "Okay, Lisa, drop the field."

As he requested, the field was dropped, and no one seemed the wiser to the newly formed stage. Almost a minute later, several people checked their cellphones and saw a notification about a new act.

Lincoln gave the thumbs up to Luna, and the goddess of rock began to her song.

"Little girl without direction~
Don't be afraid, for you're on a course correction~
Wanderin' 'round, aimlessly
You can't just act thoughtlessly
Don't despair
Don't feel shame
Valhalla is callin' out your name
You're gonna see,
Baby stand up and be proud
Take up the axe and shred it – LOUD!"

Luna struck a chord on her guitar, and immediately, purple lightning shot out from around the stage and into the air. Hundreds of people saw it, along with the boom of thunder that carried her chord like a loudspeaker.

Across from her, Doug and Michelle's latest project's concert was starting to lose steam, it was a young girl, as old as Luna was, and Doug and Michelle were watching from backstage as she was faltering from the opposing music across the way. Unfortunately for the two TV hosts, they recognized the voice behind that music, and it only irritated them further.

"Look at me, tell me what you see~
Imma Rock 'N Roll Goddess obviously!
Look at me, c'mon can't you see~
Imma Rock 'N Roll Goddess, it's my destiny!"

Luna riffed on her guitar, at the same time, lightning began to shoot out from around her, crackling in the air as it swirled about and made shapes. Crowds of people started to gather around the stage, Lincoln smiled as he watched the crowd growing. This wasn't the cosmic power Luna had obtained drawing them in, no, this was just Luna Loud, her music, her passion, that's what was drawing them in.

"Haters gonna hate
There's no debate
But what do they know,
It's all bluster and blow
Findin' love, findin' my way
I'll get through it A-okay~
Music luv is my passion!
Spreadin' it far and wide is my mission~"

Luna looked into the wide eyes of the people before her, every one of them captivated by her music, but to Luna, there was only one person she wanted to impress right now, and he was standing just a few feet from her right, watching her and rocking out to her song. Luna struck another chord and made her voice boom with another thunderclap.

"Look at me, tell me what you see~
Imma Rock 'N Roll Goddess obviously!
Look at me, c'mon can't you see~
Imma Rock 'N Roll Goddess, it's my destiny!"

Luna strummed her guitar wildly and made even more lightning erupt around her.

"Look at me, tell me what you see~
Imma Rock 'N Roll Goddess obviously!
Look at me, c'mon can't you see~
Imma Rock 'N Roll Goddess, it's my… DESTINY~!"

Luna ended her song by raising her guitar and smashing it on stage, the result of which shattered the instrument like glass, but the fragments exploded like fireworks around her as Luna raised both arms and produced the "goats". Luna took a moment to glance over to the stage where Doug and Michelle's latest prospect was holding her concert, but it seemed there was no one there, in the crowd or on stage. Her attention was brought back to her own stage where people were cheering for an encore, and who was Luna Loud to deny her fans what they wanted?

Of course she (pretended) to go backstage and grab another guitar, but actually just made another one, and headed back out to do it all over again. It was at this time that Luna began taking notice of the crowd, and among them was Katherine Mulligan, who looked genuinely enthralled with Luna's music. She took one more glance to her right and saw Lincoln with his arms crossed and a smile on his face as he winked at Luna.

Three encores later, Luna finally decided to call it. "THANK YOU, GODS OF ROCK MUSIC FESTIVAL!" she yelled to the crowd.

Luna left the stage with a hundred or more people cheering, she loved hearing them, but not as much as she loved the happy look on her little brother's face as she practically rushed into his arms.

"Lil' bro, your plan was perfect!" Luan exclaimed.

"Maybe, but you were amazing!" Lincoln replied.

Luna broke the hug and then asked, "Hey, I saw Katherine Mulligan out there, how'd she get out here?"

"I may've had Lisa fake an email to their station from their higher ups requesting a fluff piece to 'take away from the stress' the town's been feeling, and that Katherine was the perfect choice for this," said Lincoln deviously.

Luna smirked. "You sly little devil."

"YOU!" Lincoln and Luna turned to see Michelle, Doug, and their latest project walking towards them.

The girl who was performing on the stage yards away from Luna's stage had fair skin, she was dolled up in much of the same crap they had Luna in when she was "Lulu". The girl looked like she wanted to be anywhere else but here, but when she looked to Luna, she smiled a little.

Luna stood up and crossed her arms, a smug grin was plastered on her face as she stared down the two TV executives. "'Ello gov'ner what seems to be the issue, mate?"

"The ISSUE is your little guerilla concert cutting into Cici's debut concert!" Doug griped.

Luna cocked an eyebrow upon hearing the girl's name. "Uh-huh, 'Cici', right. Hey, what's your real name?"

"Uh…I…"

Michelle stomped her heeled shoe on the stage floor and made Cici snap her mouth shut. "That's not important right now! I want to know how you–!"

"I was askin' her a question ya bleedin' twat!" Luna glared at Michelle, making the older woman back off. It was easy to act high and mighty from a TV screen, but she was live and in person. "Go on, mate, what's your name?"

The young girl fidgeted but finally said, "Cynthia…Cynthia Armstrong."

Luna smiled at her and then turned her ire back to Michelle and Doug. "Let me guess, you liked the way she sounded, but not the way she looked and acted, right?"

Both of them crossed their arms indignantly.

"At least she is willing to tow the line, unlike a certain someone we know," said Michelle with venom. "I mean, seriously, rock and roll? Nobody wants to hear that loud ass crap!"

"The people cheering Luna's name would beg to differ," said Lincoln in a smug tone as he pointed his thumb towards the stage.

Doug scoffed. "A small fan base! You can't reach a worldwide audience like that!"

"Plus, no one's going to be cheering for some Elton John, dyke wannabe," Michelle added.

"Oi, that's Sir Elton John to you yanks."

Luna felt like the world just froze up, because there was no way she just heard that voice, that oh so familiar voice. The voice that awakened the love of music in Luna's heart, the voice that brought about her identity as Luna Loud, the voice who's career she followed like a religious fanatic. The third eldest Loud child turned slowly and gasped, and amazingly enough, so did Cynthia.

Walking towards their group was none other than famous rock and roll musician, Mick Swagger.

"I don't rightly like hearin' blokes trash talkin' young artists, but neither can I stand watchin' wankers like you change their very rock 'n roll soul!" Mick spoke.

Luna had checked out, pretty much swooning over the fact that Mick Swagger was here, she was able to catch his words, etching them down in her mind like holy writ.

"Mr. Swagger, sir, with all due respect…" Doug began.

"Zip it!" Mick ordered. "I heard about what went on with our Luna Loud, I happened to catch her and her family during a music competition not too long ago, she sounded great then." Mick turned to Luna and smiled. "But today, luv, you sounded like a true rock 'n roller. I could feel your passion and your love of music. Very well soon, you will be the goddess of rock 'n roll."

"Lincoln…catch me…"

Luna swooned as her legs turned to jelly, making Lincoln have to get behind her and catch her before she hit the ground. Granted, before, he could manage this with some ease, but that's when Luna was fifteen and smaller, now she was older, and more stacked, somehow he managed to keep her from smacking against the floor.

"I do have that effect on people," Mick commented. "I'm also goin' to have a word with my record company and see about gettin' you and in with us." The old rocker then looked at Cynthia. "Oi, girly, you really want to be with these wankers?"

Cynthia looked like she was about to say something, but Doug and Michelle cut her off.

"Pfft, don't even think about it Swagger! She's locked into a contract with our label! She won't be up for grabs for a very long time," said Doug as he puffed up his chest in triumph.

Lincoln smirked. I wouldn't be so sure.

Just then, Michelle's cellphone went off. She quickly took it out and answered, "Yes, what is it? Uh-huh…Wait…it's what?! What do you mean the contract's been deleted?! We have physical copies, so that's…Son of a bitch, how do you lose a PHYSICAL FUCKING COPY?!"

Cynthia perked up, Mick and Lincoln smirked, and Luna fist pumped.

"Sounds like she's up for grabs after all." Mick pushed Doug and Michelle aside and said, "Now, Luv, what do ya say we get you into some proper threads and let the real you shine?"

Cynthia glanced at Luna who nodded, she then turned to Mick and said, "Yes, please!"

Doug and Michelle walked off fuming, spouting obscenities as they did so. Mick walked up to Lincoln and held out his fist for a fist bump, to which Lincoln bumped back.

After the concert, Cynthia, Mick, Luna, and Lincoln hung out at the Festival. Mick donned a disguise for obvious reasons, but it made their hanging no less enjoyable. Mick said he would give Cynthia a lift back to her home in Hazeltucky, and then wished the two Loud kids farewell.

Lincoln and Luna decided to find a hill where they could be alone. They looked down upon the people milling about the festival, but Luna managed to keep her eyes on Lincoln.

"You gotta tell me, Linc, how in the hell did you get Mick Swagger here?" Luna asked.

"Well, while Lisa was constructing the stage, I asked her to put me in touch with him," said Lincoln.

"You did it when you 'went to the bathroom'."

"Guilty. I figured someone with Mick's fame might be able to stick it to those a-holes, he was the icing on the cake. I'm just glad he's going to help out Cynthia, she didn't deserve to be with those jerks."

Luna chuckled and rested her head on his shoulder, making Lincoln blush a little. "Man with the Plan, that's you Linc…as far back as I can remember. This ain't the first time you did something like this for me, you remember?"

"Oh…" Lincoln chuckled. "I think I remember that one, but, I'd like to hear what you were thinking."

"I bet you do, 'cause that's the moment I realized my feelings for you."

X******************************X

I'd always loved you, you were the best thing to happen to this family Lincoln. The day that Mom and Dad brought you home, I was really happy, I practically showed you off any chance I got. Mom would let me sing to you when she put you down for a nap, and sometimes I just watched you sleep.

"Not creepin' me out at all, Lunes."

"Oh shut up, I was a little kid, it's not creepy it's cute!"

"Uh-huh, the term 'Cradle Robber' comes to mind.'

"You can be a cheeky little blighter sometimes, but you're my cheeky blighter. So I'll let it slide."

Anyway, I guess I started to realize my love for you reached above the sibling line when I was thirteen. It was during my concert, my first one in fact…

Luna Loud had entered a lot of different musical talent shows at her school, and rocked out of her garage with her dad. But this was the first time she was going to be performing solo. She didn't want any help from her siblings, or parents, stating that a true rock and roller needed to get things done on their own.

So when the day came, she was stressing. She was haphazardly getting the amps hooked up, getting what small amount of effects she was able to gather together, but still, it was a chaos in her head.

It was then that a seven-year-old Lincoln appeared to her awkwardly glancing about at the mess Luna was making. "Luna, are you alright?"

Luna groaned, she loved Lincoln, but right now she was stressing too much to remember that. "Lincoln, seriously, I need to get all this setup before the show! It's my first one and I can't mess it up, bro!"

"Well…maybe I could help?"

Luna rolled her eyes. "No offense, dude, but I don't need your help. You'll just get in the way."

Lincoln stamped his foot and crossed his arms as he said, "No I won't!"

Luna glanced over her shoulder while her hands were messing with some wires. "Lincoln, I said leave me alone right–YAAAH!"

The young rocker had crossed a wire and accidentally shocked herself. Luna shot to her feet and shook her right hand, trying to make the stinging sensation stop.

Lincoln's eyes widened with fear as he rushed to Luna's side and asked, "Luna, are you okay?!"

She knew she shouldn't blame him, shouldn't yell at him, but the stress of her first show, and the stinging from her guitar hand got to her. "I WILL BE WHEN YOU LEAVE ME THE BLOODY HELL ALONE!"

Lincoln backed away slowly, his lower lip trembling.

"I told you I need to get all this done, and you just keep pestering me, Lincoln! I freakin' shocked my hand because you made me not pay attention!" Luna ranted.

"I…I…I'm sorry," Lincoln whispered.

"The hell with – you know what, just go!" Luna stated. "NOW Lincoln!"

Luna didn't turn away and went back to work, she heard sniffling from behind her but didn't turn to see. She heard the retreating footsteps of Lincoln until they were gone, and when they were gone, and Luna was alone, she realized just how harsh she was to her little brother. The little brother whom she loved dearly, the little brother who only wanted to help his big sister.

"I'm sorry…" Luna softly spoke to no one.

"Well, I wasn't as stressed about the show anymore, because right then I felt like a complete and total bitch…you didn't deserve that, Linc. Not when the only thing you were doing was trying to help me…and all I did was bite your head off."

"It's okay–"

"No it's not! God…I've loved you since the day you were born. I was proud to have a little brother, and what did I do to said little brother who wanted to help me? I treated him like crap! Then again…I guess you're used to it from us…anyway…"

Luna still hadn't gotten everything ready, mostly because now she was sulking due to what she said to Lincoln earlier.

"'Ello, 'ello, what's this then?"

Luna turned her head and saw a large man walk up, he had a black leather vest, denim jeans, a white shirt, a purple beret, and he had a nose ring. "Who're you, dude?"

The large man took off his hat and nodded to Luna. "The name's Chester Monk, but you can call me 'Chunk'."

Luna raised an eyebrow. "Chunk?"

"Yep."

"Okay…what can I do ya for dude?" Luna asked.

"I couldn't help but notice you're havin' a spot of bother there, luv, mind if I give ya a hand?" Chunk asked, well, he asked, but already started to work.

"Whoa, wait, dude I–!" Luna stopped when she watched Chunk make quick work out of the mess she had strewn on the stage. "Whoa…"

Chunk continued his work, getting the amps aligned, getting the wires together and plugged them in properly to their sockets. "Where's your instrument, luv?"

Luna shook her head, went to her guitar case and opened it up. She produced her guitar to Chunk, he took a look at it, inspecting it, and softly plucking the strings. He smiled and nodded as he hooked it up to the amp, and then went over to the soundboard to hook up the microphone.

"Let's do a sound check, ya?" Chunk asked.

Luna wasn't sure what this guy was getting at, but he was helping her out a lot, and Luna wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. She took up her guitar and strummed a few chords, nodding with satisfaction at the decibel level of the amps. She then sung a few bars and Chunk managed to get the volume just right after a few tweaks.

"Thanks dude," said Luna as she walked over to the British man. "But…I gotta ask, why did you help me?"

"Heh, funny story, this kid wit white hair saw me workin' and he comes up and asks me to help out some girl. He showed me some video of ya rockin' out. Gotta say, ya got some real talent, luv." Chunk took out a card and handed it to Luna. "Imma professional roadie, call me if ya ever need help with another gig."

Luna stared at the card, but she wasn't reading it, she was thinking. A boy with white hair showed a video of her playing, there was only one white haired boy she knew of. Lincoln…

"Oh, wow, well that's quite the crowd out there," Chunk commented.

"What?" Luna rushed to the curtain and peeked through it to see at least a dozen or more people waiting for her to perform. "I…I didn't think I'd get that big a crowd!"

"Probably that same lad, 'cause when I left, I saw him walkin' around and talkin' ya up." Chunk cracked his knuckles and said, "Well, I certainly can't leave ya with that big a crowd. What's say we work together here?"

Luna nodded her head vigorously, smiling wide as she did. When it came time to play, Luna stood before the stage and looked out into the crowd, among them she saw her family, and sticking out like a sore thumb was her little brother, shooting her a sheepish smile.

Luna smiled as well and said into the mic, "This one goes out to my lil' bro!"

Sometime later, after the concert and everyone got back home, and it was time for bed, Luna visited Lincoln while everyone was sleeping. The young boy rose from his bed and sat at the edge as Luna took the spot next to him. The thirteen-year-old rocker gave a heavy sigh as she looked at her little brother.

"Listen, Linc, I'm really sorry for what I said and how I acted back there. I know I said I was stressed and all…but that's no excuse for how I yelled at you when you were trying to help."

"It's okay, I know you were really nervous," said Lincoln.

Luna placed her right hand on his shoulder. "That's still no excuse, bro, but still you helped me out."

Lincoln blushed a little embarrassed as he looked at his legs. "I…I know you said you didn't want help, but I just…I just didn't want you not to play your music. You're really great, and everyone should know it! So, I got that Chunk guy to help, and I was able to get the rest of our family to help get more people to come and watch."

Luna's heart fluttered, but the flutter felt different, because it was him. Lincoln did all that, after she was a total bitch to him, and yet, despite that, he went out to find someone who was a professional to help her, and got their family to rustle up a crowd for her. All for her.

Luna threw her arms around Lincoln, and brought him into a hug. She felt her love for him grow with each second, knowing that he went through all that just for her. The rational part of her mind told Luna that that's just how Lincoln was, he'd do anything to help his sisters, but her heart felt differently.

Luna knew she was an unconventional kind of girl, certain things that others found were slightly off she'd view as just being what they are. In that sense, it was probably how she was able to rationalize her feelings at this moment. She loved Lincoln, she adored him, what could only be the next evolution of that love than something deeper and stronger than just familial love?

They separated for a moment and Luna stared into his beautiful blue eyes, he smiled up at her, feeling pride that he was able to make his big sister happy. When she smiled at him, it was the smile of a girl who had just found the perfect guy to spend her life with. Luna gently stroked his hair and flicked his stubborn cowlick, an urge to kiss the young boy before her was growing.

You can't do it Lunes…A said smile formed on her lips. He won't understand…not right now…and if he does, and Mom and Dad find out…I'll never see him again.

"Luna, are you okay?" Lincoln asked innocently.

Luna slowly nodded. "Just fine lil' bro. Although…do ya mind if I sleep beside you tonight?"

Lincoln shook his head, he then lied down on his bed and padded the empty spot beside him. At their current ages, Lincoln and Luna were able to rest comfortably in the bed without taking up much space. Lincoln let Luna wrap her arm around him, spooning him.

She began to hum a soft tune, the memories of Luna singing to him helped Lincoln to drift to sleep quickly as she nestled closer to Luna. The young rocker knew that her love for her little brother would never be accepted by others, she knew that she was probably doomed to pine for him even after she found someone else who made her heart flutter, but for now, being with him, being his big sister, that would have to be enough for her.

"I love you, Lincoln…"

X****************************X

Lincoln looked at his big sister with sympathetic eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were living with that for so long."

"Dude, you couldn't have known, I mean, I wasn't the only one hiding how they felt about you," said Luna.

"Still…I feel like I've made you guys suffer without knowing it…" Lincoln hugged his legs closer to his chest.

Luna managed to grab him and pull Lincoln close so that the back of his head was resting on Luna's chest as she hugged him from behind. "Lincoln, you're not responsible for that. Had the Black Vortex not come into our lives, I don't think any of us would've had the courage to say how we really feel. Same for you. If this hadn't happened, I doubt you'd give dating us any real consideration."

Lincoln had no response to that, as he really couldn't deny it.

"I just want you to know somethin'," Luna held him tighter. "I love you, Lincoln. That'll never change, no matter who you end up choosing in the end. I'm just grateful that I could finally tell you how I feel, and how you made me feel that day, so I can really say it with all that love I couldn't tell you about before. Thank you, Lincoln, for everything you did for me, and all you do for me now."

Lincoln wrapped his arms around her arms as he rested against Luna, the sky was about to turn orange, and the music was still going. But right now, the only music Lincoln could hear, was the beautiful melody that his big sister hummed.

A/N 2: Whelp, there we go. I see Luna as being more in touch with her feelings, similar to Leni, except she was on the edge of it, not quite there, but needed a gentle nudge to get her over that hump. I also see her as more laid back about her feelings than the others, as she did know why her feelings weren't acceptable by everyone's standards, she still saw her love for Lincoln, her romantic love, as the next step in its "evolution", you might say.

Hope that was a satisfying chapter, Doug and Michelle were douches and I enjoyed humiliating them. Now it'll be Luan's turn!…I do not do puns well so that might take a minute…oh boy…
