Memories Of A Loud
After Logan's departure, he traveled the world for his sole purpose and to find himself, He wandered far and wide, As he did he befriended many people some of them dangerous but still saw them as his friend, He joined multiple groups and gangs but never participated in any criminal activity nor harming the innocent, He saw all the wonders of the world and mysteries within, He learned from many masters whether it was how to fight or how to manage a self-sufficient business.
He was renowned as a genius among his peers and is now classified as an expert fighter. Through his travels, he performed violent acts but only for the good of the people and became a hero to several important people and nations but remained anonymous. But as the years go by he now misses his family even more so than ever, As he drifted further apart from them he began to wonder if they're okay back there and soon he decided to check up how his childhood town he grew up in online and to see how his family is doing but what he'll see just might make him finally come back.
______________________________________________
Logan is in a 5-Star hotel room somewhere in Japan and is sitting on the couch while watching the T.V. listening to the news reporter "report" the latest news.
News Reporter: (In Japanese) And in other news local gang members are also known as the "Dragon's Eye" lead by their leader named "Silver Fang" have managed to subdue a criminal organization and save several bystanders by themselves they also apprehended the criminals involved and turned them into the police, Although the authorities state that they are hooligans and act above the law they also admit they are heroes to the public.
Logan: (Bandaging his Cuts and Bruises up) Hope the other guys are doing better than me I'm in worse shape than I thought. Maybe I shouldn't have rushed in there by myself that was a terrible idea (Yawns) better hurry up and go to bed.
After fixing himself he stood up and decided to head to bed, He turned off the T.V. and placed down the remote but then something catches his attention in the corner of his eye inside his bag, Logan went ahead and grabbed the picture of his family he brought with him when he first left his home Royal Woods and then remembered the times he last spent together with them and he began to think what's his family is up to.
Logan's Mind: Wonder how my sisters are doing (Sigh) I hope they're alright and doing well.
Logan did send money over to them every month anonymously of course and as he looks at the picture he skimmed through it looking at his sisters individually while also having flashbacks on the time he spent with every one of them.
He looks at Lynn and remembered when she was a baby and he would hang out with her.
-------------------------Flashback------------------------
Logan and a 1-Year Old Lynn were in the former's room with him trying to see if he can help his little sister with her first words. But so far she hasn't even come close but Logan never gave up and tried again and again until.
Lynn: bWi-IgG BuU-Tet-H-HeR.
Logan: Yes! come on Lynn you can do it I believe in you!
Lynn: Bi-IG bWo-tH-Ther.
Logan: Yes! yes! that's it come on say it.
Lynn: Big Bwother!
Logan: YES! YES, YOU DID IT! Your first words and you did it fantastically, well close enough.
Logan picks up Baby Lynn and spins her around while laughing spontaneously being happy after Lynn finally said her first words and it was none other than "Big Brother" well more or less.
Logan: I'm proud of you Lynn ( Hug's His Baby Sister).
Lynn: *Giggles* Big Bwother!
______________________________________________
Logan smiles remembering that time he helped Lynn with her first words, Next Logan looked at his second youngest sister Luan when he helped her with her jokes when she first started as a comedian although it wasn't that funny it made her happy nonetheless.
______________________________________________
Logan was just sitting on the couch reading a comic and eating chips until his sister a 3-Year Old Luan came and tried to tell him a joke but failed miserably.
Logan: *Crunch* Hm, Somehow this comic isn't what it used to be.
Luan: Brother can you help me with something?
Logan looked to his left and saw his sister Luan asking him a question, He swallowed his chips and placed down his comic book before responding to Luan.
Logan: (Swallows) Sure what's up?
Luan: I want your opinion on these jokes I made can you help me, please.
Logan: I don't see why not, Lay it on me, sis.
Luan: Okay what did the cow say to a cheating chicken?
Logan: I don't know what did it say?
Luan: Now that's just foul! *Laughs* Get it!
Logan: *Laughs* Very funny sis how'd you make that one up.
Luan: I don't know, I just like making jokes and whatnot cause I liked seeing the audience's reactions when I do, I'm thinking of being a comedian when I grow up!
Logan: Oh well, I support your choices sis.
Luan: *Giggles* Thanks Big Brother that means a lot.
Logan: Hey! Wanna make some more puns and jokes together, I think we will have a 'Pun' time.
Luan: *Chuckles* Sure and hey maybe we will 'Pun-derstand' each other better.
Logan: *Snickers* Nice one.
Logan and Luan spent hours together thinking of new jokes for Luna to use after a while of laughing and having fun they now had many jokes at their disposal but they continued making more until.
Logan: Hey Luan I gotta go somewhere I'll be right back in a bit okay!
Luan: (Upset) Okay but promise you'll be back right.
Logan: I promise, See ya' later!
After Logan left Luan seemed sad because she wanted to hang out with her Big brother more but she had to wait until he comes back, After an hour pass by Luan decided to clean up after their mess since she assumed her brother won't be back anytime soon she started to cry a bit but continued cleaning and after she finished tidying up she heard a knock on the door she opened it up and saw her brother standing right at the other side of the door she was mad that he took so long to come back but she was also glad that he came back at all, Luan suddenly started to cry and rushed over to hug her brother was shocked at first but then Logan also returned the hug after a while of comforting Luan she finally composed herself and wiped away her tears and Logan said to her...
Logan: Sorry I took so long but I got you this.
Logan took out a present for Luan and gave it to her as excited as she was but before she started ripping out the gift wrapper Logan stopped her.
Logan; NO wait Luan! don't rip it apart it's just made to look like I spent a long time wrapping it just remove the top.
Luan did as she was told and when she removed the cover she looked at the gift in awe, Inside was a ventriloquist dummy wearing a blue suit and a top hat, she picked it up and observe the puppet in front of her.
She immediately loved it not because of the dummy itself but also because it was a gift from Logan.
Logan; Seeing as how you might plan on making a Comedian your hobby when you grow up I figured you might need this, in the long run, So do you like it?
Luan: (Crying) No, I LOVE IT! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Big Brother!
Logan: Heh anytime Luan, So what do you wanna name him?
Luan: How about we name him together!
Logan: Sure whatever makes you happy Luan, Hm But what? Hmm.
Luan: Hmm.
Logan: How-
Luan: About-
Logan/Luan: Mr. Coconuts!
After they named the dummy Mr. Coconuts, Logan asked Luan to stand up on the stage they built together while coming up with jokes and took a picture of her to commemorate this day.
______________________________________________
Logan chuckled and smiled a bit remember those good times and how happy Luan was he then noticed a tear falling down his cheeks so he wiped it off. Logan then skimmed through the picture again and looked at Luna remembering the first time he taught her how to play the guitar in the past and going into another flashback again.
______________________________________________
Logan was in the garage tuning his guitar that his parents got him as a Christmas present, After he was finished tuning it he started strumming to a song he recently heard and while doing so caught the attention of his spying 5-Year Old Sister.
Luna watched him as he busy strumming the instrument. As Logan soon started to get the hang of it and started humming the song too he then noticed his sister staring at him while he was playing and decided to ask her if she wanted to join him.
Logan: Hey Luna wanna join me?
Luna: Really Big Bro!?
Logan: Yeah sure! Want me to also teach you how to play the guitar?
Luna: (Nods enthusiastically)
Luna walked towards her Big brother and stood beside him while he taught her the basics of how to play the guitar. After a few hours of singing, laughing, and playing other instruments Luna finally started to learn how to play the guitar.
Logan was surprised that his sister was a natural when it comes to music soon after he was just watching her singing songs and playing his guitar, After a while later Logan Had the urge to do the comforting of his 'business' and told Luna...
Logan: Hey, Luna, I gotta go to the bathroom real quick I'll be back when I'm done okay.
Luna: Sure Big bro but hurry up Okay.
Logan: No problem.
After Logan finished his 'business' he washed himself up and started heading back to the garage but just before he entered he heard someone singing a particular song and he took a peek to see who the voice belonged although he already obviously knew who it would logically belong to he saw Luna slowly strumming the guitar and began to sing.
(Ed Sheeran - Perfect, begins to play)
I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
While Luna was singing Logan joined in by playing the keyboard and Luna was surprised at first but Logan motioned her to keep going and soon they were enjoying making music together while having fun all the same.
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all
I own And in your eyes, you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday
I'll share her home I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fightin' against all odds I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful I don't deserve this, darling,
You look perfect tonight
Oh, no, no Mm
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
No, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
After the song ends they celebrated by High-Fiving each other.
Logan: Wow! That was awesome, Luna, I knew you were good but not this good you truly are a natural when it comes to music.
Luna: Thank Big Brother Logan! Someday I want my very own guitar so we can play music together. (Gives Logan back his guitar)
Logan: (Smiles) Hey Luna How bout' you keep my guitar instead, It's yours now take it.
Luna: Really!?! But I can't this is your gift from Mom and Dad and I know you also wanted a guitar for a long time too and now you finally got it so I can't just take yours from you.
Logan: (Smirks) Luna, I may have wanted it but you need it more, so please don't worry cause I feel happier knowing that my guitar is in your hands.
Luna started crying and swiftly went to hug her brother and Logan no longer seemed surprised by these sudden hugs from his sisters and he happily complied by hugging her back, After they broke apart and Luna finally stopped crying she wiped away the remaining tears and said...
Luna: Thanks Big Bro I promise I'll take care of it.
Logan: I know you will, Now how's about one more song!
Luna: Yeah!
______________________________________________
Logan laughed again at how many songs they sang in the garage and it took them until night time till they finally decided to call it a day. Logan once again scanned the picture in his hands and looked at his second oldest sister the kind-hearted but also not a very bright member of the family Leni as we again reminisced that one Christmas where they spent some good quality sibling time.
______________________________________________
On one Christmas morning, Logan woke up and immediately went downstairs to see a beautiful Christmas tree which He and His Sisters built and decorated together and he decided to wake up his parents and sisters.
After everyone came downstairs they sat together near the fireplace and began preparing for their Christmas party they're hosting tonight,
Time Skip
After they were done preparing for the party it was already beginning to get dark and they began changing into more festive outfits, After they finished changing they all decided to sit on the couch together and watch T.V. while waiting for their friends and family.
They were watching random channels until they scrolled to the news giving out an emergency announcement, The reporter stated.
News Reporter: This is an Emergency Announcement people of Royal Woods there will be a snow storm tonight and it's coming in fast authorities are stating that everyone should stay indoors and stay with their families until further updates on the condition of the storm, Again please stay indoors at all cost tonight do not leave your houses I repeat do not leave yo-(Static)-ou-u-our ho-h-hou-ss-se-es.
The T.V. shut down and Logan's family gasped at the sudden news with the storm coming in their friends and families won't make it for their party and they had to cancel.
Logan and his family were feeling down cause after their long hard preparations they had to cancel and wasted their efforts of decorating but Logan noticed that his 5-Year Old sister Leni was sadder than anyone else, he decided to talk to her to cheer her up.
Logan: Leni I'm sorry about the Christmas party being canceled I know you worked the hardest, especially on the decorations, and if there anything I can do for you just tell me, okay, So please don't be sad anymore I hate seeing you like this.
Leni: (Crying) Thanks Big Brother I needed that (Hugs Logan) I just wanted us to celebrate our Christmas party like we always do.
Logan: (Hugs Back) Anytime and don't worry, Leni, I'll always be there for you, You can count on that.
Logan and Leni spent a few seconds as they are before breaking up and continued taking down the decorations. After they were done they had their dinner and then freshened up before going to bed. Hours into the night Logan began stirring and turning in his bed as he can't sleep he decided to head down and grab a glass of milk.
As he reached the bottom of the stairs he noticed the front door opened a bit and he began panicking and ran upstairs to check in one of his sisters' room as he opened the door he noticed Leni wasn't in her bed Logan started to sweat and wanted to search for Leni.
He was about to wake up his parents and other sisters but decided not to, seeing as he can search for Leni himself he grabbed his winter coat, scarf, hat, and his bag as he went outside and into the storm to look for Leni.
After heading outside to look for his sister Leni he grabbed his phone from his bag and checked the time He then noticed he'd been searching for Leni for about 15 minutes already, As the storm grew stronger Logan then became weaker and colder the longer he was searching but he said to himself that he won't give up until he finds his sister.
An hour finally and Logan was starting to lose hope until in the distance, though his vision was blurry, he managed to vaguely see a girl under a tree shivering from the harsh weather, Logan then ran towards her without stopping until he can finally see who the girl was, it was his sister Leni sitting there shivering and out cold.
Logan carried Leni on his back looking for shelter from the storm and he stopped at a laundromat with the powers out though it was closed it wasn't locked so he went inside and dropped Leni on one of the benches carefully he took out a blanket and an extra scarf from his bag before covering his sister in it. He did everything he can to spare her from the cold but she was still shivering so Logan took off his coat and covered Leni with it too in doing so Leni was finally warm enough that she stopped shivering but instead, Logan was now freezing in the cold he shivered nonstop but was glad that Leni no longer wasn't.
After a few minutes, Leni began waking up and noticed she was in a building with a bunch of laundry machines and that she was also covered with a blanket and extra clothing she seemed confused at first then she looked around and saw her brother in the corner freezing and shivering nonstop.
Leni began to tear up and tried to call out to him but she was too weak to do so and her heart began to shatter looking at her brother freezing himself to death she then mustered all her strength and began walking towards him as she finally made it close to her brother she sat beside him and covered them both with the blanket and coats Logan then started to slowly stop his shivering and Leni began crying seeing her brother go through so much for her.
Leni: (Tearing up) I'm so sorry dear brother, I'm sorry I made you suffer please forgive me (Crying Harder).
Logan began to wake up and noticed his sister right beside her crying her eyes out with the blanket and coats covering them both)
Logan: Leni? *coughing*.
Leni: *Gasp* Big brother! (Hugs Logan tightly) I thought I lost you I'm sorry you had to suffer because of me, Please I'm sorry (Cry Me A River!).
Logan: *Coughs and Sniffs* Hey it's okay Leni, Shh (Pats Leni's Back), I'm fine so please stop crying it hurts me seeing you like this, Whatever happened to the cute and easygoing klutzy sister I knew.
Leni slowly stopped crying for the sake of her brother but she still blames herself for all the trouble she caused him, Logan saw this and hugged Leni back harder as he comforted her, they stayed in that position until Leni cried herself to sleep as Logan was stroking her head he noticed the storm already stopped he checked his phone from his bag and checked the time it was already 3:00 in the morning so he decided he would carry Leni on his back to their home before their parents and other sisters notice. When Logan arrived back to their house he dropped off Leni in her room and placed her in her bed but just before he was about to leave Leni was still clinging onto his shirt in her sleep saying.
Leni: (Asleep) Please don't leave me alone Brother.
Logan: (Smiles) Don't worry Leni I won't (Kisses her forehead and slept on the edge of her bed)
Leni opened her eyes noticing she was back home and saw her brother sleeping next to her she smiled and shifted closer to her brother clinging onto him and never letting go while she whispered saying...
Leni: (Whispers) Logan you are the best Big brother I could ever ask for, I love you Big Bro (Hugs Logan) (Fell Asleep).
Logan: (Opens his eyes) I love you too Leni, and I promise I'll never leave your side.
