10 October 1987
Lori was getting ready to go out with her brother as she was determined to get back on his good side but time was running out for her and the rest of the family as in just 21 days on October 31st, Halloween night Lincoln will fight Bruno Martin for his undisputed IBF WBA and WBC Heavyweight Championship of the world
And more than likely he'll be leaving the morning after the Martin fight never to return so the Louds window of opportunity to be forgiven was shrinking fast.
The pressure was on for The Loud Family
Lori got in her car and drove to the park where Lincoln told her they'll meet up so she packed lunches, 2 bottles of Orange juice and 2 bottles of Water into a picnic basket as well as some paper cups, spoons, forks and plates
The lunch variety was fish and chips, pork chops, sandwiches and gumbo with some money for a pizza if they needed one
Lori parked as soon as she arrived and began to set up the picnic starting with making the blanket
Meanwhile Lola was also figuring out what to do for her big brother as she also wouldn't want to be still on his bad books
She was talking with Lana and Lily on what to do ( We tune in)
Lola: I just can't let Linky leave us for good again you know
Lana: Linc might not go as long as we prove that we have changed Lols
Lola: But I haven't had my turn with him yet how am I supposed to prove that I have changed if he just keeps avoiding me?
Lana: Look if I can get back into his good books then you certainly can
Lana comforts her twin
Lily: I have to agree with Lana big sister, Big brother might be busy but he'll give you a chance to prove yourself
Lola: You...Mean it???
Lily: Yeah just don't give up you have 3 weeks left that's plenty of time
Lola: Ok little sis I won't give up Little sis I'll make every day of these few weeks count
Lily and Lana: That's the spirit keep it up!!!
Meanwhile with Ashley

The twins and her numerous cousins at the mall
Ashley: So Brandon what do you want to be when you grow up?
Brandon: Well I want to be either a court judge or a businessman
Liberty: He once said he wanted to be a fight promoter
Brandon: Shhh can you can it!!
Liberty: What it's the truth ( Laughing)
Ashley: Do you want to be that as those Don King types are thieves they steal fighters hard earned money and pay them peanuts

Jackson: Wow those are great ideas I just want to be a fighter like dad is
Dionysus: Are you sure about I thought your dad said he fights so that you guys don't have to fight?
Jackson: I just want to fight my way up to the title after I beat the champ and take his title I retire same time
Diana: That's shrewd I don't know what I want to be right now to be honest
Logan: Ok cousin Diana so what are you interested in?
Diana: Well I'm 9 but I do like building things and I love maths
Ashley: Well Diana...I think you might be interested in engineering
Diana: Wow I'll look into that later on after I finish school
