The family sat in silence for a while before heading upstairs. Sighing..Leni and Luna looked at the shocked faces of their sisters who heard the news.

"T..This can't be happening." Lori Said. She was clearly in denial which unnerved some of her younger siblings considering the fact that she was usually bossy and sometimes angry.

"This is just great...Our family is seen as the Royal Woods pariah." Lisa Said. For once no one asked her what those words meant or to simplify it down. They knew that Royal Woods May never let them live this down and that their social lives were down in the dumps. Sadly..Most of the girls didn't accept it and were silently cursing Lincoln for this mess.

"Great. What else could go wrong?" Lola huffed. Some of the girls thought that she managed to jinx them, but didn't want to say it out loud. I mean why would they when they were already in trouble for the bad luck incident.

"I know that it looks bad girls, but we'll get through this. So how about we go to the park to get some fresh air." Rita Said. The girls slowly nodded and started to head towards Vanzilla. When they looked around..most of the neighbors were giving them dirty looks. Most of them ignored it while others shuddered. They weren't used to being looked at like bad guys and the looks were slowly creeping them out.

When they went to the park, the Louds noticed the McBrides who immediately went to another direction. Meanwhile...the other park goers slowly started to glare while holding their scared children close to them.

"You have a lot of nerve coming to this park!!" An unknown woman shouted.

"Last time..I checked child neglectors should stay away from children." Another person shouted.

"Mommy..I'm scared that the Louds would hurt me like they did with their own child." A child uttered.

Slowly the Louds exited the park with hurt expressions on their faces. They expected this reaction, but hearing it up close hurt. People were either scared or angry at them for what they did which made the Louds feel worse for the incident. Sadly some of the Louds still felt that Lincoln caused this and wanted to pound him for getting them in trouble. 

"Okay...How we go home?" Lynn Sr. Said. He drove home slowly and secretly observed the expressions on the girls faces which went from sadness to outrage. Which made him want to address this before the girls did something that made them look worse then they already were.

"Girls go inside and sit in the living room." Lynn Sr. Said.

The girls reluctantly sat down in the living room while Lynn and Rita stood in front.

"I know some of you want to beat up Lincoln, but if you do then you'll face more severe consequences added on to your punishments." Rita Said.

"But Mom..." Lola started, but stopped once Rita glared at her.

"Don't start young lady..things are already bad for us and beating up Lincoln will only make it worse. It goes double for you Lynn since you're still blaming Lincoln for all of this." Rita Said.

"He deserves it Mom." Lynn argued.

"No he doesn't. We haven't been treating him right and look at what's happening to us. We are seen as the town pariah and don't want us around. Look Lynn if you don't beat him up then people would start to slowly see us in a good light so don't mess with Lincoln." Rita Said.

The girls started to head upstairs with no expressions shown on their faces. Rita and Lynn Sr. hoped that the girls listened to them, but only time will tell.
