Divided Attention

>Lincoln had been spending more time with Lana than usual ever since they got back from camping
>Lincoln was teaching Lana about starting fires, Lana was teaching Lincoln about the various uses of mud
>Lola sat by the window watching Lincoln and Lana play in the mud, it had been a month since they had practiced for a pageant, and 2 months since Lincoln helped do her hair
>Rather than waiting for Lincoln to remember, Lola decided it was time to speak up a bit
>"Lincyyyy!" Called Lola from the front door "Could you help me with my hair?"
>"Huh?" said Lincoln as he formed a brick from the mud "Sure I'll be right there!"
>"Sorry Lana, We're gonna have to continue this later" Said Lincoln, getting up and grabbing his crutches
>"oh...ok" Responded Lana "I'll go play with the dogs"
>As Lincoln hobbled towards the house, Lana couldn't help but look at the cast covering his Leg
>She could Remember the nights they spent huddled by the fire in their mud hut, hoping someone would find them
>With a quick shake of the head she snapped out of it, and wiped the tears from her eyes
>"It'll be okay" Mumbled Lana to herself "W-We'll play again tomorrow..."

>As Lincoln helped Lola brush her hair, he felt as if something was wrong
>"It must have been Horrible out there Lincy" Said Lana as Lincoln brushed her hair
>"Hmm? oh yeah, it sucked." Mumbled Lincoln absentmindedly
>"It must feel nice getting away from all that mud, Isn't it?"
>"Yeah, sure..."Muttered Lincoln, looking out the window
>As Lincoln's attention began to drift he caught a snag in Lola's hair
>"OW" yelped Lola
>"OH MY GOD, IM SORRY!" Shouted Lincoln as grabbed Lola and hugged her tight
>"Geez it's fine Lincoln "exclaimed Lola, trying to get Lincoln off of her "Now get offa me before you mess up my hair
>Lincoln released the hug he had Lola in
>"Sorry, sorry it's just......*sigh*, nevermind. Let me get the hairspray"
>As Lincoln went to get the hairspray he heard a shout come from downstairs
>"Lincoln!" Shouted Lana "That show you were telling me about is on!"
>"It's on already?" Exclaimed Lincoln "I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!"
>"Can we finish this later Lola, I can't miss this episode of guy vs nature"
>"It's fine, it's fine" Grumbled Lola as she picked up the spray can "I can do it myself...."
>As Lincoln hobbled towards the stairs, Lola began to get annoyed
>"stupid survival show..*grumble, mumble* Not even in the woods anymore...*Grumble,Mumble*"
>"*in a mocking tone* Oh look Lincoln, you can make toilet paper out of maggots and roots"
>Lola dropped the spraycan and sat down, not even bothering to fix her hair

>Fast forward a few days
>Lincoln and Lana were on the couch watching guy vs nature again
>"What's he doing with those shells Lincoln" Asked Lana, her eyes glued to the screen
>"I dunno....wait, Why is he pulling down his pants?" Said Lincoln Nervously
>"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"Shouted the two of them simultaneously
>"And That's how you use seashells if you don't have any toiletries" Said the man on the TV
>"THAT'S NASTY!" Shouted Lincoln, looking ready to vomit
>"I know right!" Responded Lana "Why would you use seashells of all things? I think I would rather Hold it in."
>As the two were shouting and laughing on the couch, Lola walked in
>"Hey Lincy, Wanna watch the pageant?" Asked Lola, holding up a TV guide
>"Aww, But he was just getting ready to show us how to cook a lobster in a leather boot" Exclaimed Lana
>"A lobster...In a boot?" Said Lola, a mixture of disgust and confusion forming on her face
>"Why would you want to cook a lobster in a boot?"
>"well... you might not have any pots in the wild" Explained Lincoln "and this may be your best chance at cooking a meal"
>"You should watch with us!" Shouted Lana excitedly "You might learn something cool!"
>"uhh.... no thanks" Replied Lola "I think I'll just go watch it with Leni"
>"Ok then, Suit yourself" Said Lincoln as Lana scooched Closer
>The two continued watching TV till they both fell asleep on the couch

>Fast forward a week
>Lola was starting to get desperate
>Every attempt to get Lincoln away from Lana had failed, and Lola was starting to feel more and more alone
>"why does Lincy want to spend so much time with Lana?" Lola asked herself frustrated with the whole situation
>"I'm cuter, I'm cleaner, I'm more fun to be around" She continued, pacing about the room
>"Did Lincoln forget all the fun we had? Doing my hair, Practicing walking, organizing dresses..."
>Lola looked outside to see Lincoln and Lana making bricks in the mud again
>"so, he likes to get dirty huh...." Said Lola, an idea forming in her head "I'll show him just how dirty I can be"
>Lola threw open her closet and started making preparations

>Lincoln was in his room reading his comics in his underwear, as he had done so many times before
>His cast was resting on a few pillows as the doctor had instructed
>As he read his the latest "Ace savvy" heard a noise
>*Knock Knock*
>"Come in" Said Lincoln, his eyes glued to the comic
>Lola opened the door and walked in
>"oh hey Lola what's uuuuhhhh........." Lincoln's jaw dropped as he saw Lola
>Lola was wearing a sheer pink nightdress, One that she had accidentally bought when looking for a "light weight" pageant gown, and no underwear
>"Like it?" asked Lola as she spun around "It's been sitting in the closet for so long, and I thought I should give it some Use"
>Lola jumped up onto the bed and sat next to Lincoln
>"So I was thinking" Said Lola putting a hand on Lincoln's leg "We haven't really gotten to spend that much time together recently"
>Lincoln was starting to get nervous
>"so why don't we spend some Quality Time together tonight"
>Lola began scooching closer to Lincoln
>"uh Lola" Started Lincoln  "I don't think this i-aah"
>Lola bumped Lincoln's cast
>"ohh, my poor sweet Lincy" Said Lola in a sickeningly sweet tone "That must be so painful"
>She turned around, on her knees facing the cast
>"Let me kiss it and make it better"

>Lola kissed Lincoln's cast
>"Hmm, That won't work" Commented Lola "Maybe I should move up a bit"
>Lola started to move up Lincoln's leg, Kissing his knee, then his thigh, moving ever upwards
>"L-Lola, What are you NNNGGGH!"
>Lola's cheek was against Lincoln's underwear, Her face was starting to go red
>"Oh my" Said Lola eyeing the bulge in Lincoln's undies "Looks like you have another Leg in need of attention"
>Lola began to pull down Lincoln's pants
>"Wait!" Exclaimed Lincoln "Lola, What's gotten into you"
>"Nothing...yet" Replied Lola as she climbed on top of Lincoln
>"Now, Let's enjoy ourselves"
>As Lola was getting Lincoln into position he grabbed her by the arms
>"Lola, STOP!" Shouted Lincoln
>W-What's the matter Lincoln?" Asked Lola looking down "Don't you still love me?"
>"What? Of course I still love you!" Replied Lincoln
>"Then" Lola looked Lincoln in the eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks "Then why won't you spend time with me anymore?"
>Lola was sobbing and shaking
>"Is that what this was all about?" Asked Lincoln, A look of guilt on his face
>"Y-You've been spending all your time with Lana, and it's like I don't even exist" Explained Lola through sobs and tears
>Lincoln sat up and hugged Lola
>"*sigh* Look, I'm sorry if I've been ignoring you lately" Lincoln started "I've been spending so much time with Lana because it didn't want her to be alone after what happened"
>Lincoln put a hand on his cast
>"Lana has been through some scary stuff, We both have..."

>"She's been so scared of going through all that again" Said Lincoln, holding back tears of his own
>"I thought that if I spent enough time with her and helped her learn more survival stuff, Maybe she wouldn't feel so scared about leaving the house alone..."
>"W-Wha?" muttered Lola "What do you mean?"
>"*Sigh* Look" Started Lincoln, putting his underwear back on "I never told you or the others about this but... we almost died out there"
>Lola felt her heart sink
>"I put on a brave face and told everyone that that we had things under control but.... there were many times when we thought that we would never be found"
>"I-I'm sorry Lincy" Apologized Lola "I didn't know"
>"I didn't want to tell you because I knew you all would worry" Replied Lincoln, Looking at the floor
>"Once Lana is a bit more comfortable in her own skin and is able to go outside on her own without panicking, things will go back to normal" Explained Lincoln
>"But until then, She's going to need the majority of my attention and care. alright?"
>"I understand." Replied Lola as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
>"W-Would it be ok if I still slept in here tonight?" Asked Lola
>"Yeah" Replied Lincoln "You can sleep with me tonight"
>"But uh Lola" Said Lincoln
>"Yes?"
>"Put on some underwear first"
