While the Louds were enjoying their second night, the others were all getting ready to rest up for another day at paradise. For Lincoln...it was a nice change compared to the Loud House mainly because he didn't have his sisters constantly asking him for favors or forcing him to do some of their activities. He didn't exactly mind, but he always wondered why his parents never grew a backbone against his sisters. 

"So Lincoln....How was your date with Ronnie Anne?" Clyde asked.

"It was a nice change of pace since we didn't have Bobby and Lori with us." Lincoln said.

"We're not that bad are we?" Bobby asked.

"To be honest...Ronnie Anne and I both know that you guys are deeply in love with each other. But do you guys really need to keep saying those sappy lines around us?" Lincoln said.

"We don't say sappy lines." Bobby said before he noticed the deadpan stare that Lincoln gave him which made him slightly nervous.

"All of the time." Bobby added.

"Right. Speaking of which...Lincoln, Do you think that Lori bosses around Bobby?" Clyde asked.

"Sigh....my sister does boss people around a lot. But that makes me think...Why my parents let her do this without any complaint." Lincoln said.

"That is a good question. Your parents are push overs and don't seem to take charge of any situation that pops up like any good parent should." Clyde said before he tried to apologize. 

"Don't apologize for that Clyde. My parents like to think that we can solve our problems on our own. But...they tend to act like cowards more than anything." Lincoln said.

"That's no way to talk about your parents little dude." Bobby said.

"Don't get me wrong..I love them, but they have a tendency to not take charge of any problems that come between us and only listen to one side of a story." Lincoln said.

"Have you tried talking to them about it? Surely they'll change if they know that their parenting style or lack their of is flawed." Clyde asked.

"I've wanted to. But my nerves always get the better of me before I can actually go through with it." Lincoln said.

"It's alright to be scared Lincoln. But you have to do something before they make a mistake which could land them in jail." Bobby said.

"It may be a little too late for that." Lincoln said. 

"What do you mean?" Clyde asked before Lincoln told them of the incident involving luck. When Bobby and Clyde heard it.. they thought that he was making it up, but after seeing the serious expression on Lincoln's face..they knew that it was real.

"What were your parents thinking?" Clyde asked.

"I really don't know. But they did go too far after hearing my sister's complaining about it." Lincoln said.

"I can't believe that Lori followed along with that entire thing." Bobby said with his head in his hands.

"I can't either. We all know how Lynn is like yet my sisters and parents foolishly followed along with her words. I'm sure if the police were called...there was no way that we all wouldn't be separated from each other." Lincoln said.

"None of us can argue with your words. By the way...Why does Lynn pray to those softball gods anyway? She knows that they're made up right..." Clyde said.

"Nope. She thinks that they're real and does good luck rituals before every game. Even if one is a risk to her health and her teammates." Lincoln said.

"Which ritual is that?" Bobby said.

"The no going number two rule." Lincoln said.

"Ugh. Why do your parents allow her to get away with that? They've been to the doctor yet they still allowed her to keep doing it." Clyde asked.

"No clue. But I seriously need to talk to them about what they've been doing. My parents shouldn't be so easy on my sisters and allow them to run amok. And it's time that someone tells them that to their faces." Lincoln said. 

"That's a good idea Lincoln." Bobby said. After that...the boys continued to talk about other things unaware that their conversation was overheard by one of Lincoln's sisters who quickly returned to the others.

She vowed to have her sisters and brother sit down and talk about this issue...Unaware that this will prave the way for change.
