(We continue with the double date at the Jean Juan's French Mex restaurant. Things are going OK at first, but suddenly, Lincoln gets heavily depressed, and decides to give in to Ronnie Anne's torture just so Lori and Bobby will keep going as the "greatest pair of all times". His classmate isn't there, just so he'll surrender with peace.)





Lincoln: (sighs) You win, Ronnie Anne.





Ronnie Anne: What do you mean, "I win"?





Lincoln: I give up, I can't handle anymore of this torment that always sees me as its favorite target.





Ronnie Anne: Come on, Lincoln, don't be like that.





Lincoln: Why should I? But I guess that after those times when you shoved food down my pants or punched me in the eye, I guess sometimes I have to decide to live with it all just not to escalate things further. And that's why, Ronnie Anne, you win this one.





(Unknown to him, Lori and Bobby are overhearing Lincoln's sudden confession, with concern and worry written and all over their respective faces.)





Ronnie Anne: You are...admitting your own defeat?







Lincoln: Yes, I am, and as a matter of fact, I decided that I'll remain your personal punching bag for the rest of my life. And so...





(Digs in his pockets until he finds one 10-dollar bill, pulls it out and gives it to Ronnie Anne.)





Lincoln: ...here. I wish things could've gone differently, but as they say, the chances of that happening is 1 out of 10.







(The elder pair, meanwhile, are discussing Lincoln's "defeat".)





Bobby: Babe, is all of what he said true? Did Ronnie Anne really punched him in the eye?





Lori: ...Yes, Bobby, she did it.





Bobby: (feels sad and guilty for breaking up with her in the first place) I'm so sorry about all this, Babe. I should've known earlier, then I wouldn't had to...(gulps)





Lori: Yeah...but what happened, happened.





Bobby: True, true...





(Back to the young two...)







Lincoln: (gets up) That's all I wanted to say. Enjoy your pleasure while it lasts, Ronnie Anne. I'll see you in Monday. (walks away and leaves the restaurant, completely sad)





Ronnie Anne: (takes his 10 bucks, then relaxes with evil grin) Wise choice, Lame-O. Wise choice.





(Lori now feels sorry for Lincoln and guilty when she threatened him to come to this date in the first place.)





Lori: Sorry Bobby, but I gotta go and console Lincoln. I'll text you after all of this is settled.





Bobby: Sure thing, Babe. Again, I'm sorry for breaking up with you, because I didn't know Ronnie Anne would actually harm your little bro.





Lori: Yeah. Anyway, see you soon, Boo-Boo Bear.





Bobby: Later, babe.







(Lori leaves the restaurant as well, gets into Vanzilla and drives to search around area for her brother. We cut to Lincoln walking to his home on foot, and addresses the readers.)





Lincoln: (to readers) I'm sorry you guys had to see that, but really, I just can't take it anymore and have to live like this for the rest of my life, when Ronnie Anne keeps tormenting me at school and Lori endlessly threatens me into God-knows-what. I surrender to all of these things. Guess that's what happens when you try to stand your ground at the wrong time, at the wrong place.







(He keeps walking around until Lori spots him and asks to get into the car with her.)





Lori: Lincoln, get in here, we're going home together.





Lincoln: ......OK, Lori.





(The white-haired male gets into the Vanzilla and seats next to his eldest sister. But before Lori proceeds, the blonde teenager hugs Lincoln to console him.)





Lori: I'm sorry about all this, little bro. If only I told Bobby about how Ronnie Anne punched you in the eye, then all of this wouldn't have happened. And I'm also sorry for flipping out at you, because you didn't know that Bobby and Ronnie Anne were literally siblings. Can you forgive me, Lincy?





Lincoln: (relieved somewhat and returns the hug) Yes, I forgive you, big sis.





Lori: (smiles) Thanks, Lincoln. (kisses him on cheek, now they proceed to go home in the car)





(Meanwhile, Bobby and Ronnie Anne are riding home in former's car. He glares at his sister.)





Bobby: Ronnie Anne, is all of what Lincoln said true? Did you really punched my girlfriend's little bro in the eye?





Ronnie Anne: (gulity) Yeah...





Bobby: You know what? I think he was right to say those hurtful things to you after everything you've put him through. I'd did the same if I was him, you know.







Ronnie Anne: I know...





Bobby: And you better prepare yourself, because once we're home, you're in a long talk with me and Mom.





Ronnie Anne: Fair enough...





(We cut to Lori and Lincoln, who reached their house, parked Vanzilla, get out of there and enter their residence. They sit on the couch in the living room, then Lori proceeds with her full-on consolation.)





Lori: I'm so sorry, Lincoln. I just wish I could've done something, but my anger and stupidity prevented me to.





Lincoln: I'm sorry too, Lori. If only I was told that she'd be Bobby's sister, then I could've avoided it all.





Lori: Yeah, but what happened...happened. I'm sorry for hurting you physically earlier. We could've only talked it out, yet I kept acting like an immature baby.





Lincoln: Yeah...





Lori: Would you like to eat at that place with me tomorrow?





Lincoln: Sure thing, big sis.





Lori: Anything to cheer you up, little bro.





(They smile at each other, and hug it out.)





Lori: Wanna watch some TV with me for now?





Lincoln: Why not? Not like we have things to do now anyways.





Lori: Got that right, Linc.







(Lori turns on TV and they proceed to watch it together while holding each other close.)





THE END
