30After losing a trivia match, Lincoln also lost a bet based on the trivia match with Lori. He now had to do what ever she wanted him to do for her. Unfortunately for him, that meant being her personal foot stool while she paints her toes a hot shade of pink. He gets down on his hands and knees, Lori sits down and takes off her shoes, grabs a tiny bottle of hot pink nail polish, puts both of her rather large feet on Lincoln's back, and starts painting the toes of her left foot.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Thanks for being such a good little brother by being my personal foot stool.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) What ever.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Since you're being such an obedient little brother, i'll reward you by educating you about what nail polish is and a little of its' history.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) Kill me.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Nope!
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Nail polish is a lacquer that can be applied to the finger nails and/or the toe nails to decorate and protect the nail plates.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) The formulation has been revised repeatedly to improve its decorative effects and to suppress cracking or flaking.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Nail polish consists of a mix of an organic polymer and several other components, depending on the brand.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) What have i done to deserve this?
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) You lost our trivia match and the bet we made on it.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) That's the last time i gamble with out knowing the risks.
Lori finishes painting her left foot's toe nails and starts painting her right foot's toe nails.
Lori: (painting her right foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) By the turn of 19th century, nail polish and coloring became more common among general population in France, England, Italy, and America, but it was in the early 20th century when nail polish became truly popular with manicure establishments appearing in France at great numbers, especially in 1920s and 1930s.
Lori: (painting her right foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) The french manicure was popular in the 1920's and 1930's and still today is considered as the most popular for finger nails and even toe nails.
Lori: (painting her right foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) The tips of the nail are painted white while the rest of the nail is polished in pink or pale shade.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) Have mercy on me!
Lori: (painting her right foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Nope!
Lori: (painting her right foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Any way, black nail polish which is today popular in the Goth, Punk, Emo, and Heavy Metal sub-cultures were not first introduced with them, but in the 1930s during the post art-deco era.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) Now that sounds interesting.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Today, nail materials have evolved to state of the art products.
Lori: (painting her left foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Polish comes in every color of the rainbow.
Lori: (painting her right foot's toe nails while using Lincoln as a foot stool) Aside from the confidence of having a well manicured or well pedicured look, caring for the nails is an important part of health and hygiene.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) Well the part about how black nail polish which today is still popular in the Goth, Punk, Emo, and Heavy Metal sub-cultures was interesting to listen too.
Lori finishes painting her right foot's toe nails and places her pedicured feet on the floor. She wiggles her hot pink toes in delight of the job she did on them. She then closes her tiny nail polish bottle, puts it on the floor, and stands up to look down on her younger brother. She starts grinning at the sight of him.
Lori: (grinning) You may rise.
Lincoln: (staying on his hands and knees) Thank GOD.
Lincoln gets off his hands and knees and prepares to leave, but before he starts to even walk out, Lori's voice stops him.
Lori: (grinning) Oh Lincoln.
Lincoln: Uh oh.
Lori reaches into her pocket and pulls out a 20 dollar bill. She holds it out to Lincoln.
Lori: (holding out a 20 dollar bill for Lincoln) This is my way of saying thank you for being my personal foot stool.
Lincoln: (grabbing the 20 dollar bill and putting it in his pocket) This is my way of saying you're welcome.
Lori: Lincoln, even though we have a love/resentment relationship, i still feel a slight bond with you.
Lincoln: The slight bond is mutual Lori.
Lincoln walks out of the room and Lori goes to lay on her bed and starts to read the latest fashion magazine for teens.
The End!
The slight bond between Lori and Lincoln is the bond of love/resentment. There's no surprise there. Please type up a review of what you all thought of this awkward for Lincoln, but satisfying for Lori, chapter! Peace!
