Lincoln and Bobby had left the Santiagos household a short time ago, they still had some time to possibly meet and reconnect with other people that lincoln knew from his childhood in royal woods, they decided to visit a man named flip.

Flip is someone that lincoln and many other people know about him, he runs a gas station and convenience store know as Flip's Food & Fuel.

Lincoln and all of his friends and sisters used to go and spend time together there, they used to talk and sometimes help flip, the owner of the gas station and convenience store inside of the station, flip is friends with both rita and lynn sr.

He went to school with both of them, he is also lynn sr. Childhood friend, they used to go to camp mastodon together, flip also went to high school together with rita as well, because of his long time friendships with rita and lynn sr.

He is usually nice and helpful with all of the louds and Madison family, lincoln has many good memories of flip, about some time later on the road, lincoln and Bobby had arrived to their destination.

The gas station and convenience store that lincoln used to visit from time to time, looks just like he remembered it.

It's fairly large with a red gas dispenser on the right side and a blue pay phone on the left side, a white plastic trash disposal, a dumpster in the back and many stickers sighs on the front main glass window, a bathroom in the right side and more.

Lincoln Park his car right outside of flip's Food and Fuel gas station, both lincoln and Bobby had exit the vehicle and went inside of the gas station.

Like the outside, the inside of flip's food and fuel is also like lincoln remembered the inside of it, there was a mini market of many different foods and drinks, such as snacks, ice cream, sodas and more.

Both lincoln and Bobby had heard a man's voice from a back of the store manager office room.

Flip: I'm coming.

Flip exit the room he was in, and was about to greet the Customers that entered his mini market store, then he seen someone someone that he had not seen in a very long time, a person that was one of his best customers and helpers in the past, he had just witness lincoln loud, a person that he was good friends with both him and all of his whole family members.

Flip is a middle age man with a large gray Mustache and dark gray eyebrows, he has green eyes and is bold on top of his head with only the sides still remain some hair, he is wearing a red t-shirt, brown pants and black shoes.

Flip could not believe if it was truly lincoln in front of him, or someone else that happens to have white hair as a young age man with dark blue eyes, both lincoln and Bobby knew very well of the reaction of flip's expression and even thought of mind, lincoln simply spoke and tried his best to have flip believe that what he is seeing right now, is not a illusion of his mind.

Lincoln: before you ask flip, yes, it's really me, I'm the real lincoln Loud, and no, you're not going crazy, you're really are looking at the real me right now.

Flip simply approached lincoln and poke him with one of his fingers, to be certain that it wasn't a illusion of his mind, when he was certain that it really was lincoln, he simply hug and spoke to lincoln.

Flip: holy cheese and crackers, it's really you lincoln, I can't believe you show up after all these years, and you gotten big too, and where you been all this time anyway, you just vanished completely out of nowhere where and now you're back completely out of nowhere again, this time back home and all grown up, what the heck happened to you anyway, on that danm day anyway?

Flip still held Lincoln tightly, he responded back to Flip, soon after he finished his sentence to lincoln.

Lincoln: to start, you're crushing me flip, I need some space right now.

Flip: oops, sorry about that lincoln, gauss I overdid the hug on you, I'll let you go now.

Flip release lincoln and rub the back of his head, lincoln began his long story to flip, many things he did not told flip however, after a long explanation of everything lincoln had told flip, the middle age man had spoke.

Flip: that's quite a story you got there, you meet up with your family, Mr.grouse, the McBrides and Santiagos, including the casagrandes, right?

Lincoln: that's right, and now you flip, then me and Bobby were hoping to visit Mrs.johnson and many other people as soon as possible, the rest of my family will come over later and I need to be there when they all do, so I don't have much time to talk with you flip, unfortunately.

Flip: It's alright kido, I know you need to do a lot of stuff, and I get It's pretty important for you, so I won't hold you up for so long, maybe next time we could see each other again soon, when you're a bit free.

Lincoln: I hope so too, I'm sorry i couldn't talk or spend a little bit more time with you, I'm racing against the clock and a few other places to be, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't mind staying a bit longer here?

Flip: It's alright lincoln, I understand how you feel right now, and don't worry, we'll see each other around again anyway, heck, I might come over later and see how everyone are doing, you know, i giving some of your little sisters, some part time jobs here, they're pretty helpful and good workers here, your whole family are always good to me, and I'm good to them too, I even given them free flippees when they come over here too.

Lincoln remember well about the flippees he was talking about, it is a very sweet and good fruit milkshake, it is one of lincoln's favorite food choices, lincoln, ronnie anne and clyde always loves to have them when they visit flip's Food and Fuel.

They even used to do some part time works there too, flip has always been nice and fair to them all, lincoln had a flash back of when all of them used to work at flip's Food and Fuel together.

(FLASH BACK AT FLIP'S FOOD AND FUEL, MANY YEARS AGO.)

Lincoln was placing all of the food snacks and drinks to their Proper places on a large shelf he was Restocking at, about a minute later, lincoln was finished with all of the Restocking on every shelves of the mini market inside the gas station, he picked up the empty boxes and went to flip.

Flip was placing all of the cheese inside a nachos machine, after he was finished and closed the top of it, as well the front storage cover door, lincoln arrived and spoke to flip.

Lincoln: I just finished Restocking the food and drinks, what I need to do now, flip?

Flip: besides that, nothing much, I already refilled the cheese on this nachos machine and placed the ice creams on the freezer, I suppose we can check on clyde and ronnie anne, and see how they're doing with their jobs too, ronnie anne should be in the storage area and clyde might still be cleaning the bathroom?

Lincoln: I'll check on them real quick.

Flip: I'll come along too, ronnie anne might need some help with the heavy lifting and if clyde isn't finished cleaning the bathroom room, I'll finish that myself for him, you kids should rest up, you, clyde and ronnie anne had worked hard enough for today, i can handle everything else myself.

Lincoln: you sure flip, we can still help out around here?

Flip: It's fine kido, you kids did plenty of work already, and I'm more used to working pretty hard too, but enough of chit-chat, we need to check on both your friends, real quick, you ready kido.

Lincoln: I'm ready, flip.

Flip: then let's go, we'll chat again later when we finish all of the jobs here, let's get a move on, kid.

Flip and lincoln went to the storage room first, it was a fairly large room with many boxes and metal stand shelves with black and sand colors, with a large ceiling light, ronnie anne was checking and placing everything in order, when both flip and lincoln arrived to the storage room, they greeted ronnie anne.

Flip: hey there ronnie anne, how's it going in here?

Ronnie anne: pretty good flip, I was just about done in here, everything is put in order and placed, I tried to pick the heavier boxes to their places, but my arms are pretty tired from lifting all of those heavy boxes earlier.

Flip: don't worry kido, I'll get them up for you.

Flip pick the last set if boxes and place to their places, after he was finished with the heavy lifting, Flip spoke.

Flip: all done, you did pretty good ronnie anne, I'm amazed you managed to do some heavy lifting in here, you could have asked if you needed some help with them, it wasn't a problem for me to pick them up and place them for you?

Ronnie anne: I thought I could have handled them, I did with some, but the last ones were to heavy for me, I didn't wanted to bother you, in case you were pretty busy?

Flip: you kids will never bother me, I even told ya before, if the jobs you kidos have is to much to handle by yourselves, just ask me and I'll help you all, it's really not a problem with me, you two work enough for today, get some rest, you two earn it.

Ronnie anne: thanks flip, I'll ask you for help next time if I need help, you too, lincoln.

Flip: that's the spirit kido, now I need to check on clyde and see how he's doing, you what to come along with us too?

Ronnie anne: sure, I'm curious how clyde is handling in the bathroom, bet he doesn't like cleaning in there, because of a Stinky smell?

Flip: don't make fun of him, i won't let him clean that bathroom, if it really smells bad in there, I usually clean that room, so you kids don't have to, same with the heavy boxes too.

Ronnie anne: I wasn't making fun of clyde, I was just saying it probably suck if it smells bad in there, while he's cleaning the bathroom, that's all.

Flip: only one why to find out, let's go and save our clyde, then all three of you can rest up and chill out for the rest of the day.

After leaving the storage room area, they all went to the bathroom area, that was found on the right side of the gas station, they entered inside the bathroom room, and it was very clean and bright inside of the bathroom, clyde saw and greeted both his friends and flip.

Clyde: hey guys, i just finished cleaning the whole bathroom, what you guys think of this bathroom now?

Flip: pretty impressive work, you did great kido, hope it wasn't to much of a hassle for you?

Clyde: it was nothing, I got this bathroom looking good as new, it took a little while, but I got this whole place cleaned up and Shiny, like something on a tv-show.

Ronnie anne: no kidding, this is something a movie star would have in their home.

Lincoln: I think it's pretty cool, clyde did a great job in here.

Flip: lincoln's right, clyde did pretty well, alright kidos, it's time to take a break and relax, you three earn it, and for all of your hard works, you guys earn some free Flippees too.

Lincoln: you don't have to do that, just for us flip, we can pay for all of them.

Flip: nonsense, you guys worked a lot and did some fine jobs for the Food and Fuel station, you three more then earn them, it's not a problem with me at kids.

Ronnie anne: thank you flip, but are you sure, we have enough money to pay for the flippees, you don't have to give us the flippees for free?

Flip: I'm sure, don't worry about it you guys, it's on the house.

Flip and all three of the children, went back inside the mini market area and flip was filling three cups of his home made slushies, that he calls them Flippees, it is a very popular sweet drink, that many people loves to drink it, flip passed the flippees to lincoln, ronnie anne and clyde, they took the first sip of the flippees with their straws, and enjoyed the flippees sweet taste very much.

Lincoln: your slushies are always really good flip, I'm curious how you make so good and sweet?

Flip: It's nothing special kid, I use fresh milk and mix some strawberry together, keep it cold and add some vanilla, same with the other flavours too.

Clyde: but flip, it's really good and sweet, it is pretty special, you got a lot of people Drinking them too, and often get a lot of compliments for your flippees too.

Flip: thanks clyde, but it's just a regular slushies, they don't have any special Ingredients, just regular fruits and milk mix, I'm happy you kids and everyone else likes them, that's what really matters in the end, I'm more then happy to see a lot of people just relaxing and taking care of themselves, even you three.

All three of the children had smiled and were happy of flip's kind words, after they finished with their flippees, they were about to continue with their work tasks, but flip spoke to all three of them.

Flip: that's enough work for today kids, you three need to chill out and enjoy your day, i can handle the rest here.

Lincoln: you sure Flip, we can still do some work, it's not a problem with us?

Flip: It's alright kido, you guys for a good couple and half hours, this place is doing pretty good with Customers and business, but also have a lot of good people enjoy their shop and Refueling here, you guys earn a good day off from work, so run along now, go chill out and enjoy the rest of the day, I can handle everything else here.

Clyde: but are you sure flip, you work a lot here, we don't what to leave you overwhelmed or over do things here alone?

Flip: I know you guys are worried about me, but I'm used to it, besides, you guys are pretty tired, I can tell just by looking at you three.

Lincoln, clyde and ronnie anne were in fact fairly tired from the work tasks they all had, they wouldn't admit it, but flip was very right of his words, after a minute of silence, ronnie anne spoke first.

Ronnie anne: well, we are pretty tired, and I could use some rest, but are you sure, you got everything under control by yourself here, if you need us to finish something first, it's really not a problem with any of us?

Flip: I know kids, but really, I got this place taken care of, and you guys need to rest right now, so off with you three, enjoy the day like good kids you three are.

They smiled and hug flip, lincoln, clyde and ronnie anne went out and spend the rest of the day together, they wave at flip, he had also wave at them back, the children left the food and fuel station, and enjoy the rest if the day together.

(FLASH BACK END.)

Lincoln's flash back had ended, flip and Bobby had noticed that lincoln was somewhat in deep thought, flip simply spoke in concern for lincoln.

Flip: you ok there lincoln, you look like you seen one of those Christmas spirit guys, just now?

Lincoln: I'm fine, I was just thinking about this place and all the times I use to work here with clyde and ronnie anne, that's all.

Flip: brings back some good old memories, huh, i remember you guys were always working hard and helping me out a lot here, you, clyde and ronnie anne always love my flippees, in fact, I'll make you one now.

Lincoln: you don't have to flip, it's really not necessary.

Flip: I'm going to make one for you anyway, it's a welcome back gift for you.

Flip grabbed a plastic cup and fill it with the Pink strawberry flavor Slushy, he close the top part and place a straw in the middle hole area of the cup.

Flip: here you go lincoln, enjoy it.

Lincoln grabbed the cup that flip made for him, lincoln was at first hesitant to drink the Slushy that he use to drink as a child, it brought back many memories of flip's home made slushies, after a moment of staring at the cup, lincoln took s sip of the flippees, and enjoy the strawberry flavor of it.

Flip: pretty good, huh.

Lincoln smiled and responded back to Flip.

Lincoln: always, your flippees always has a why to cheer people up, thank you so much.

Flip: anytime lincoln, glad you feel all better now.

Bobby took a picture of lincoln with the flippee and smile on his face, lincoln was reaching for his wallet, but flip spoke before lincoln could grab his wallet.

Flip: that's not necessary, kido, it's on the house.

Lincoln: but flip, i insist, you don't have to give this flippees for free, just for me?

Flip: i just did, and you won't Spend any money on it either, it's on the house and it stays that way, you're a good and nice guy lincoln, but this is on me, so keep your wallet on your pocket mr. You deserve it for free, so enjoy it kido.

Lincoln: thank you flip, I wish I could do something to repay you back, for all of your kindness?

Flip: don't worry about it lincoln, you don't own me anything, you and everyone else are always welcome here, if you ever need me, just ask good old flip.

Lincoln: thank you flip.

Flip: any time kido.

Bobby: hey lincoln, I sent a text earlier to Lori, that we visited my family and are here at food and fuel with flip, she texted me back and said that the rest of your family members, will come over late in the afternoon, lori also said that they have everything ready for a big family reunion, and she said that she'll call one of us to head back home, so we have a little bit more time left, if you have to visit Mrs.johnson, maybe even spend time at the bar together.

Lincoln: then we should go now and visit my old school teacher, everyone one else, I'll visit next time, sorry I have to run like this flip.

Flip: don't worry about it kid, just don't what you have to do, and take care lincoln, it's great to see you again.

Lincoln hug flip and spoke.

Lincoln: you too.

Both lincoln and Bobby had returned to the land rover suv vehicle, both lincoln and Bobby had wave at flip.

Flip: before you two go, you what me to fill you car up with gas?

Lincoln: It's fine flip, I have plenty.

Flip: ok lincoln, stop by anytime you like, if you what to work, shop or need some gas on your ride, take care kido, till next time.

Lincoln: I will, and thanks again flip.

Lincoln started the engine and went to visit his old Elementary teacher, along the way, lincoln and Bobby were talking about how school life was to his sisters and friends.

Bobby: have i told you about when lori and carol were harassed by those jecks?

Lincoln: you have, and I'm proud of you standing up against them and protecting both lori and carol.

Bobby: thanks lincoln, I'm happy to have a good friend like you, and even a brother.

Lincoln: same here, Bobby.

Bobby: besides that, me and Lori have a fairly good school life, we made friends and have good grades, lori was thinking to go the fairway university, she's very passionate to do there and being a professional golfer someday.

Lincoln: that's great, I'm happy lori is following her dream and trying to go to a very good College, I hope lori gets accepted there?

Bobby: me too, I'm thinking to go to the great lake university, and study about wild life or being a manager for a good business store, I what to do something that will help people, I just still thinking what to do in life and help people too?

Lincoln: you don't have to over think it right now, you and lori still have plenty of time for all of that, just take it easy and enjoy your time here before going to college, everything takes time, and you two will be more then ready for college and everything in life, just don't worry about everything at once right now.

Bobby: you're right lincoln, I just hope I'll find the right calling for me, and with lori.

Lincoln: you will Bobby, you will.

Bobby smiled and was full spirit again, lincoln spoke about many other things.

Lincoln: what about everyone else, like my other sisters, clyde, Ronnie anne, everyone?

Bobby: well, clyde and ronnie anne did very well in school, heck they were amazing in college too, they Graduated in a fairly young age and have pretty good degrees already.

Lincoln: I know, my parents told me, I'm happy for them.

Bobby: hey linc, how you got a degree too, I don't know if you ever finished elementary or even went to high school, so how you got a university degree anyway?

Lincoln was silent for a moment, Bobby noticed the change expression on lincoln's face, after a minute of silence, lincoln responded back.

Lincoln: It's a very complicated and story i don't what to talk about, i know you, my family, my friends, everyone what's to know, but I just don't what to talk about my past right now, just, not now.

Bobby wanted to know more about lincoln's past and how he managed to gain a university, but did not press on the subject, Bobby simply changed subject and told lincoln something else that did not bother him.

Bobby: well, after elementary, clyde and ronnie anne did pretty well in middle school, they made some new friends on pretty much all the schools they went to, you remember the boys that you and clyde use to see together with?

Lincoln: I do, I haven't seen them in a long time, why you ask?

Bobby: they are doing pretty well with their lives and working hard with their jobs too, i think clyde was going to tell you about that too?

Lincoln: I'm not sure, he might had forgot or didn't had time to tell me about them, clyde and ronnie anne might explain everything to me, when they come over to my family's house later.

Bobby: and if I'm not mistaken, there is a couple of girls you, ronnie anne and clyde use to be friends with?

Lincoln: you mean girl Jordan and Cristina, they are nice people and I use to have a crush on Cristina, but we stayed as just friends, girl Jordan was always pretty cool, how are they?

Bobby: pretty good, I don't know them that well, but last I check, girl Jordan is a champion of dodge ball, while Cristina is a medical doctor here at royal woods.

Lincoln: I remember girl Jordan was always really good at dodge ball, and Cristina was always nice with people, even me, clyde and ronnie anne.

Bobby: for leni, she gets pretty good grades at school, and has a job close to the mall, as a manager and store assistant, it's called Reininger's, it's a women Clothing shop that also do makeup there too.

Lincoln: that's great, glad leni is doing pretty good at school and has a job she really likes to do.

Bobby: she also made some pretty good friends there too, a girl named Fiona and a guy named Miguel, he usually does the makeover job, but also help both leni and Fiona, they're nice people, same with Jackie and Mandee.

Lincoln: I remember them, they are leni's best friends when she was little, I remember leni loves to play and spend time together with them, they were always nice and supportive of leni.

Bobby: yup, Jackie and Mandee are pretty nice people, they always help and talk with leni, but there was this one time however, that all four of them didn't get along very well.

Lincoln: what you mean?

Bobby: you see, leni was on break and spending some time with Fiona and Miguel, then Jackie and Mandee came and greeted her, leni introduce all four of them together, but they didn't like or seem to what to know each other, Fiona was seeing a guy that was working at the mall and asked both leni and Miguel if they could help her out with everything, like picking a outfit and offering some dating advice.

Lincoln: happened next, after that?

Bobby: Jackie and Mandee wanted to spend time with leni on Friday, which was of course, the day that Fiona was seeing that guy i told you about, leni didn't what to play favorites with either one of her friends, so leni told both Jackie and Mandee that if she was free, she would come and spend time together.

Lincoln: something bad happened, didn't it?

Bobby: not exactly, you see, leni and Miguel help Fiona out a lot, the date with them went well, the other guy that Fiona use to date with, both of them became friends and the date went well.

Leni had a text message from Jackie at that time, Leni had to write to both Jackie and Mandee that she couldn't come over, because Fiona needed her and Miguel, you see, Fiona was calling both leni and Miguel with their phones and they had to tell and Encourage Fiona of what to do on the date, leni felt bad of not spending time with Jackie and Mandee.

Lincoln: I see, I hope Jackie and Mandee didn't took it personal of it?

Bobby: i don't think so, for what I know any, so after the date was over, leni ask both Fiona and Miguel if they could come over and spend some time together with Jackie and Mandee at her house.

Lincoln was becoming curious of the events that happened on the day that leni had invited her close friends, lincoln responded back to Bobby.

Lincoln: happened next on that day?

Bobby: this part is pretty interesting, Fiona, Miguel, Jackie and Mandee came over and spend some time together with leni, at first, they were quiet and didn't do a lot of stuff together, leni really wanted to have both her school and work friends, to get along and be friends together, but of course, it was easier said then done.

Lincoln: were you there?

Bobby: yeah, I was, ronnie anne and lori were there too, we helped leni out with her four friends, they at first, didn't want much to do with each other, leni tried her best to have her work and school friends get along, but they just didn't wanted to try, leni tried to play games, talk about things they all liked, and even tried to get them to watch something together on the tv together, but they just didn't what nothing to do with each other.

Lincoln: that's Awful.

Bobby: it is, but it gets worse unfortunately.

Lincoln: how?

Bobby: there was a argument between them, Jackie and Mandee were accusing Fiona and Miguel that they were stealing leni's friendship from them.

Lincoln: why would they say that?

Bobby: when you disappeared from everyone's lives, leni, like all of your sisters, was heart broken and very depressed, Jackie and Mandee was there for leni and even your whole family.

Lincoln: I understand now, they just didn't what to lose leni, they were there for leni, in the hardest times she was in.

Bobby: yeah, Jackie and Mandee are close to leni, they are like sisters to each other, both of them were there for leni, they talk a lot and help leni with everything she needed, like going out together to clear her mind and help out at her house, Jackie and Mandee are pretty protective of leni, they really care about her and always what to help leni out.

Lincoln: that's why both Jackie and Mandee were acting that way to both Fiona and Miguel, because they were both jealous of them, and were only trying to protect leni.

Bobby: that's right, they argued pretty badly about it, accusing one of the other for trying to have leni more, it went on for about a minute, then leni snap and raise her voice to them.

Lincoln: leni wasn't happy seeing them argued that way, I can't begin to imagine how upset she was back then?

Bobby: she was very upset about them, leni's tougher then she looks, after she yelled at all four of them to stop, she turned their heads towards her, leni basically told them that they were all acting like children and she wasn't going to pick a side of either one of them, she told Fiona, Miguel, Jackie and Mandee to either grow up and act like Civil human beings, or they all were going to lose their friendships with leni.

Lincoln: happened after that?

Bobby: before leni left the basement, she told them to either learn to share and try to be friends towards each other, or she was done with both of her school and work friends, me, lori and Ronnie anne went down to the basement to check on everyone and see what was going on, leni had tears and run passed though all of us in a hurry, lori went and check on leni, to see and understand why she was upset and crying, while me and Ronnie anne went and spoke with her friends.

Lincoln: I hope everything changed and went well with everyone?

Bobby: it did, all four of them explain everything to me and Ronnie anne, my sister was lecturing them about how they hurt leni's feelings and trying to fight over who deserved to be her friends more, they felt bad about what happened and how they acted towards each other and to leni, ronnie anne told them to go back to their homes and to think about how they acted and treated leni.

Lincoln: glad you and ronnie anne were there too, what about my parents and other sisters, did they heard what happened to the basement too?

Bobby: your parents were with my mom and uncle Carlos, they decided to spend time together and leave leni to spend time with her four friends, your other sisters were at their rooms at that time, but went to Lori and leni's room, when they heard her crying, me and Ronnie anne went to check on her too, leni, then me and Ronnie anne explain everything to all of your sisters, we all hug and cheer up leni that night, after a long talk and helping cheering leni up, both me and Ronnie anne went back home, while Lori was still taking a little bit more with leni.

Lincoln: I'm happy everyone, even you two were there for her, what did you guys talk about with leni?

Bobby: we all told leni that it wasn't her fault, and they needed to learn to get along and be good friends to her and to each other, Fiona, Miguel, Jackie and Mandee really are nice people and they care about leni a lot, but you know, teenager stuff and over protective of leni.

Lincoln: did they all got along after that night?

Bobby: they did, the next day, all four of them went and spoke with leni, they apologized for everything, like how they acted and fought over which side should leni choose to be friends with, leni was still upset with them, but she let it go and hug them, they did not hesitate to hug her back, they decided to skip their favorite clothes shop sales at that time, and watch their favorite tv show together, since then, Fiona, Miguel, Jackie and Mandee got along very well and hang out a lot together.

Lincoln: that's great, I'm glad and happy everything went well in the end.

Bobby: me too, leni went though a lot as a kid, she didn't or deserve that kind of drama, at least her work and school friends became best friends and go out together a lot, they all care about leni a lot, like a sister, they will always be there for her, they even helped leni go though her fear of going back to gus games and Grub again.

Lincoln: what you mean?

Bobby: leni stop going there, when you disappeared, lori, clyde, me, ronnie anne, her friends, everyone tried to help her go back there and face her fears, especially the games you and leni used to play together with.

Lincoln: oh my, i, I can't believe how much leni went through, because of me.

Bobby: don't say that, it's not your fault, it never was, but that doesn't matter now, what matters is you're back and you have all of us again, and reconnect with everybody again too, you have a chance to get everything back and start over again too.

Lincoln smiled and responded back.

Lincoln: thank you Bobby, I appreciate you being supportive, we should be at Mrs.johnson's house now, we can continue talking about leni and everything else later, when we're done here too.

Bobby: you're welcome Lincoln, and no problem buddy.

Lincoln and Bobby had arrived to Mrs.johnson's house, lincoln park his car and took a look at his old Elementary teacher's house.

The house has a dark blue roof with a light red Chimney, white Exterior walls with four windows on the front and a large red main door, several plants outside of the front of the house and a mailbox on the right side of the front exterior wall.

Lincoln remembered the house of Mrs.johnson very well, lincoln, clyde and ronnie anne had visited their school teacher's house in the past, such as visits with their family members, helping taking care of Mrs.johnson when she was sick and even to learn more things from her, such as history and some wise words from their school teacher.

Lincoln and Bobby approached the main front door, lincoln ring the bell and awaited for Mrs.johnson to arrive and open the main front door.

When Mrs.johnson opened the front door to answer who it was, she was completely token by surprise, she could not believe that the person in front of her, was her student from elementary school, the boy that Disappeared many years ago, was now in front of her, not as a child, but as a grown man.

Lincoln understood how his teacher would react, he simply spoke and confirm that he was not a illusion to Mrs.johnson.

Lincoln: hi Mrs.johnson, it's me, lincoln, and before you ask, no, your mind is not playing tricks or going crazy, I'm really here in person.

Mrs.johnson laid her left hand on lincoln's face and was starting at his white hair and dark blue eyes, she quickly recognized that it really was lincoln, Mrs.Johnson hug lincoln and spoke to him.

Agnes Johnson: It's really you lincoln, I just can't believe that it's really you, what happened to you, all these years on that horrible day, your mother called me and said that you were missing and so much had happened since that day?

Lincoln: I know Mrs.johnson, and it's a very long story, can we come inside, it might take awhile to explain everything.

Agnes Johnson: of course, please come inside, I'll make you and Bobby some tea.
