Special Sibling Bond Chapter 13: Foggy Adventure

Boy oh boy, this fog was definitely looking dangerous, for it was getting thicker and thicker in every minute of it. Through the eerie-looking mist that was covering much of the city of Royal Woods, Lincoln and Luna carefully wondered through it, and it was a good thing because they had the fishing wire strapped to their waists so they wouldn't get lost trying to get Ronnie Anne from her house to theirs. This fog absolutely looked eerie alright. Something out of a book by HP Lovecraft, or something like that. More like a Stephen King novel to be precise. Of course, the monsters he created in his books were only literature, and not real at all.

While being careful of his surroundings, Lincoln moved his eyes around to and fro and saw a number of lights from their posts. A small amount of butterflies were fluttering around in his stomach. That probably wasn't enough to describe it, more like a small group of swallows were flying in it instead.

His big sister kept him close to her, and made sure he didn't get too far ahead, or too far behind. She knew they were both bounded with the fishing wire, but she was still worried that he might get lost in this accursed mist. Luna was worried that Lincoln might accidentally trip on something while he wasn't looking and land on his fade as he would fall. Luna didn't worry about that too much, Lincoln was smarter than that, but she was his big sister, and just wants him to be alright.

"you okay, bro?" She asked, slightly worried

"just fine. Thank you." Lincoln replied. "It's just that this mist looks so creepy and such."

"I know, I see lights on the light posts, but they're like a bunch of swarming fireflies. Or like beacons glowing in a distance.

"Well at least there aren't any tentacles or scary looking monsters, or any of that stuff."

"True that, Lincoln." Luna agreed

Lincoln made a small chuckle, and said. "I'm getting a sense of deja vu all of a sudden. Something from the Mist by Stephen King."

"dude, I love that movie! Although the ending was really messed up, dude. At least the mist in the movie cleared up, unlike the book. And not to mention how sad the ending was. I don't even know what else to say about it."

"Exactly!" Said Lincoln in agreement. "anyway, this reminds me of the people who didn't believe there were monsters, went out here to seek rescue with a rope strapped to their wastes, then they all got eaten by an unseen monster."

Luna chortled in agreement."I know! Thank god there are no monsters like that in reality."

"right, I wouldn't want to encounter something like that around here. So anyway, we both seem to be doing good so far. I just hope this wire will be long enough to reach Ronnie Anne."

"don't worry, bro." Luna reassured. "I'll help you make sure we reach Ronnie Anne."

"Thanks Luna, you're the best."

"anytime, Lincoln." Luna was just as cautious as her brother was, and tried her best to not let him out of his sight in any way. Miraculously, they were both doing just fine with the fishing wire, and Lincoln turned out to be a genius to come up with such a plan like this one.

"I wonder if we can find Rudolph the red nosed reindeer pulling Santa on his sleigh." Both he and Luna had a good laugh.

"Oh silly Linky." Said Luna. "You know it's not Christmas yet." And she made a small chuckle. Perhaps while joking like this, it makes them both realize they don't have so much to worry about after all. It was the same city of Royal Woods, just incased with fog, and they both knew the streets very well anyway.

But just then, like it happened by surprise, a car tire screeching was heard, then a pair of headlights were flashing yellow not far from the duo. Lincoln made a spurt and ran up to another sideway before the vechile could hit him.

"Lincoln! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. That was close. Must have crossed a street." Lincoln suggested.

"you're right. We have to be more careful then."

"you don't have to tell me twice."

after a couple more blocks upward, they finally made it to Ronnie Anne's residence, looking as nice as it should be. The light of the front porch was lit like a lighthouse in cape cod.

"Well here we are." Lincoln said in triumph. He rang the doorbell and he and his sister waited for someone to answer.

After about twenty seconds, the door opened, and it was Ronnie Anne who answered it. "Lincoln! You made it!" She said, really happy to see her boyfriend, then hugged him tightly, almost suffocating Lincoln. When Ronnie Anne let go of him, he made a small cough to br wth properly.

Lincoln couldn't really blame her for giving him a hug like that. She is the toughest girl in his school after all. He warmly hugged her back afterwards.

"and Luna, you can too?" Ronnie Anne noticed the rocker sistr

"of course I did, little dudette. I wanted to make sure Lincoln would be okay coming here so he wouldn't get run over by a car or even a pickup truck. I don't know what I would do without him, heck, I would be devastated without my brother.

"ah cool. Can't blame you guys. It's like Royal Woods has been taken to the sky by a giant cloud."

"That wouldn't be good." Said Lincoln.

"heck no." Luna agreed with him.

"So how did you guys come here and find me?" Asked Ronnie Anne curiously.

Luna and Lincoln showed him the wire they were attached to. "A ninety pound, deep sea fishing wire." Luna answered boldly. "It's virtuall invisible."

"Clever."

"Oh and I forgot to ask. How's Bobby?"

"he's... had better days, Lincoln. Mom is taking care of him at the moment, pampering him with blankets, a thermometer and all that, like she's babying him."

"oh good. So are you're folks okay with us bringing you here from the house?" Lincoln asked

"oh yeah, they're cool with it. They just told me to make sure you can he,lp me find the way to your house."

"Perfect! Now you might want to tie this around your waist so you don't get lost. It really helps out like we're knocking on heavens door."

"sounds a little uncomfortable for me, but okay." Then Ronnie Anne tied a portion of the fishing wire around her own waist, and said she was ready to go. "Mom! Dad! Lincoln's here and he's going to take me to his house!"

"okay sweetie. Just be careful and watch out for cars."

"good luck, Ronnie-Wonnie."

"Dad!" Ronnie Anne groaned in embarrassment. Lincoln and Luna laughed at what his father just called her.

"Ronnie-Wonnie, that's hilarious." Luna chuckled.

"Don't push it!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed while blushing a tomato red on her cheeks. "Okay let's go."

"perfect!" Then Ronnie Anne was behind Lincoln on the expedition back home. "Hey Luna, thanks so much for coming with me, I really appreciate it. At first I didn't know what to think, but I realize this was an excellent idea."

"I told you you needed me for this, dude." Luna playfully rubbed his white hair. "Now we can just get ourselves back home, and live happily ever after."

"right. I just hope the others are keeping an eye on the wire."

"they are dude. Don't worry."

"So Lincoln, I wonder, why are you grounded?" Ronnie Anne asked curiously. Lincoln was slightly blushing a crimson red on his face, and didn't really like to talk about it to her.

"well, I played a scary video game, even though mom and dad told me not to play it." Was all he answered

"ooh." Ronnie Anne sounded a little impressed. "What game?"

then Lincoln told her about Agony, and what the plot and monsters were on the game.

"Whoa! Whoa! That's so cool! Yet a little disturbing." Ronnie Anne admitted. "I couldn't believe your parents grounded you for that."

"well, it's only for three days and that's it."

"three days? What makes you so special? Ah, I'm just kidding. Being grounded is not such a bad thing, you'll get used to it."

"that's easy for you to say, Ronnie." Lincoln remarked. "You get detention a lot of times before. Not to mention that little prank you pulled on Mrs. Johnson."

Ronnie Anne made a snicker, covering her mouth. "Oh come on, you got to admit, making a machine that makes funny and goofy sound effects was hilarious, especially the Laugh Master ten thousand machine."

"yeah, I know. Sound effects make everything funny. Especially the part where the Laugh Master made a fart sound and everyone was laughing Mrs. Johnson, because they thought it was her?" They both laughed. "Okay I admit, it's hilarious."

"that's one of the many things I am, hilarious." Ronnie Anne remarked. "So anyway, is the game fun?"

"yeah but... I couldn't handle it so well."

"hmm, figured much that a lame-o like you wouldn't be able to handle stuff like that."

"what?"

"I'm just kidding with you, Lincoln." Ronnie Anne playfully pressed her first finger on his face.

"you lovebirds doing okay back there?" Luna checked

"done fine, Luna. Thank you."

"good, just checking on you dudes." Luna remarked.

Atter a semi-long walk back to where they were, all three of the small group made it to Lincoln's house. Now Ronnie Anne can hang out with Lincoln, and all his sisters there. Honestly, Lincoln didn't really think this would one hundred percent work, but he, Luna. And Ronnie Anne made it back home safely, and in one piece.

Luna wrapped her arm around Lincoln's shoulders and her brother promptly opened the front door. When the other sisters noticed, they all cheered for both of them for returning back home.

"You guys literally just made it back." Lori acknowledged.

"yep, nothing like Lincoln to create useful ideas." Luna gave him a gentle fist bump on his arm.

"Thanks, Luna. Wait, where's mom and dad?"

"they had to go to work. Don't worry, we'll call them and let them know you guys are okay." Leni remarked.

"Good."

"well... since mom and dad are gone, how would you like to watch a movie with us?" Luna suggested. The other sisters agreed with her one at a time.

"but I'm grounded for three days, remember?" Lincoln reminded all of them.

"well mom and dad don't have to know. We are always there for you to keep secrets, remember?" Said Lynn.

Lincoln thought about it, and replied "ah, why not, but please don't make me watch it right before mom and dad get home, I don't want to get on more trouble than ever."

Luna reassured him by saying "don't worry, Lincoln. Our lips will be sealed." Then she winked at him, making him smile in gratitude.

Then the three joined the rest of the sisters on the couch and pulled up Netflix to look at a movie they would all want to watch together as a family. Ronnie Anne, who was a hardcore tomboy, suggested no cheesy romances since it makes her puke a vomit pie.

"and at least have the movie be apprriate for all of us." Said Lincoln. "I wouldn't want alike to hear any cursing or see some... not kid-friendly stuff."

"oh don't worry, Lincoln." Lori said. "I know very well how to pick a movie. And besides, it would be alright for Lily to watch some R rated movies, as long as he's with us."

"yeah, Lily's a good kid." Lana added.

"true, that's very true." Lincoln agreed with all of them. Then Lori kept on scrolling down the movie list and then Lincoln stopped her on one peculiar movie that caught his attention in an instant. "Wait!" He exclaimed. "I know what we should watch."

"which is it?" Asked Luan.

"The Mummy with Brendan Fraser." Lincoln answered.

"ooh, that's a timeless classic." Said Lola.

"indeed, very interesting." Sid Lisa. Then she unexpectedly made a blush on her cheeks. "And I... used to have a crush on Brendan Fraser."

"I know, he used to have abs, and that soft, brown hair."

"oh and Ardeth Bay." Said Lynn. "He was so hot too." All the sisters sighed as they were thinking of the actor who played the Infamous Ardeth Bay in the Mummy.

"I just wish I can touch his long black hair, and touch his chest." Lori daydreamed.

"no offense guys, but can we please watch the movie?" Lincoln said, growing a little impatient with his sisters girlish behavior.

"sorry, sorry."

"I just hope Lily will be okay with this."

"Lily's used to these kind of movies. She's a pretty brave baby." Said Lucy. "I showed her some stuff like this, and she was perfectly alright with it."

the youngest sister clapped her hands happily, telling Lincoln that Lucy was right about her being brave, after all.

"okay." Then they turned on the movie for all of them to watch."
