30 October 1987

20:30

Lincoln, Lynn Sr, Lucy and Lynn Jr return home in their van Veronica after having a frustrating night earlier at the weigh in as they exit the van and enter the house they find Rita, Lori and Luan in the kitchen talking before they notice the 4

Rita: Wow you guys are back early
Lori: I thought you said you will be back at midnight guys?
Luan: Yeah what's up did something happen at the weigh in?
Lynn Jr: Nah, Linc did his weight measurement and he weighs 217 pounds he's in shape and ready for tomorrow Rita, Luan and Lori smile
Lori: That's great so why the long faces?
Lynn Sr: Bruno Martin is the problem
Rita: What did that bastard do this time?
Lincoln: He decided to no show the entire event and sent his two goons to inform us he had a family emergency or something and he'll do his weigh in tomorrow morning
Lynn Jr: Which is bullshit if you ask me something stinks about his story
Lisa comes down the stairs after hearing the conversation
Lisa: Affirmative Lynn, as the defending champion's story does smell like the excrement from a large male bovine as I saw him training in Pontiac earlier today
Lincoln: What does that have to do with anything?, As he's supposed to train in camp prior to the fight
Lisa: Yes he was practicing but he's also clearly looking past you brother as he was talking about fights in 1988 and beyond as well when he left he left with two beautiful women and with the way the trio were looking at each other it was clear they were going to do some "group work" in order to not traumatize our nieces, nephews and grandchildren
Lynn Jr: Now it makes sense why Clancy and Panama Lewis were annoyed when they were making the announcement he wasn't having a family emergency of any kind he was...
Lucy: Gasp he was clapping cheeks at the time
Lynn Sr: So this boy really is underestimating you Lincoln he's actually finding time to have sex with women when he should be preparing hard for a 15 round war with you he's an ignoramus
Lincoln: Dad don't talk like you are any better you thought I was a joke in the ring for how many years
Lynn Sr: Ummm yes I was a fool I'll admit that but I have changed since then as I want to be a positive role model to my estranged son
(Lincoln and Christina roll their eyes)
Luan: Don't worry yourself Linc, you'll kick his ass and make him regret looking past you
Lincoln: Thanks Luan, but I really need to make a big entrance at that fight as he got the band Tears For Fears to be his big entrance and now who can I honestly get who can top that in just half a day tomorrow as the fights at 10 O clock tomorrow night
Lucy: Don't worry Big Brother you'll find someone in time but me Lola, Leni have a surprise for you.
Luna overhears from the stairs: Oh wait till you find out whose singing you to the stage tomorrow Lincoln you will have a "Thriller" of a time, Luan your not the only one who can pull puns in this house
Back downstairs
Lincoln: You three have a surprise for me?, but you didn't have to your already forgiven.
Lucy: We know you forgave us and all but we didn't feel like it was earned as it was a freebie so we made you this

Lola goes upstairs and collects the gift before bringing it back down in a big orange present with a green bow before she offers it to Lincoln

Lola: Here you go big brother, I hope you love it
Lincoln: Thanks I guess

Lincoln opens up the present by untying the bow and then he removes the box lid which then took him by surprise

Lincoln: No way!!!, What the heck!!!??
He pulls out the gift
Inside was a dark green and neon boxers robe which had a white wolf howling as well as orange words in big letters saying The New Heavyweight Champion Of The World!!! and just under the letters it had a picture of Lincoln himself lifting up the WBC Heavyweight title ( The Green Belt) in the air with a screaming crowd in the background

Lincoln was lost for words and the girls were nervous does Lincoln like his new gift???

Leni: You like it right Linky???
