Lincoln Bounces Back

## Plot

Lincoln is seen in a yard jumping high, talking about things that you just have to have. You bug your parents until they get those things for you, although they are not that big of a deal once you finally get them. He shows that when he got hockey gloves, they ended up buried in his closet; the telescope he got ended up under his bed; and his Ace Savvy walkie-talkies ended up on his dad's tool shelf in their basement. Lincoln then assures that the next thing he got would be different. Mrs. Fieldman from off-screen interrupts Lincoln, asking him if he's working, or just "lollygagging". With that, Lincoln leaves to get back to work.

Lincoln Bounces Back

Lincoln, Lana, and their mom go to Royal Woods Mall to buy new coats for the fall, although Lincoln prefers to wait in the car. But his Mom said They will let you in the mall you're not a dog. Lana walks over and touches his nose and says it's cold and she has fun trying on different coats; Lincoln stands bored and reluctantly tries one on. Lincoln leaves to go to a toy store, where he enjoys trying out different toys: a wind-up monkey playing cymbals; a small, bouncy red ball; and a truck that can transform. It even transformed into Mr Huggins too. He meets Luna, with whom he is amazed that her father is getting her all the toys she wants. Then, Lincoln notices a pair of shoes on the shelf called Moon Boots, and imagines himself jumping high enough to land on the moon.

At home, Lincoln tells his parents about the Moon Boots, which are only ten dollars. Through dinner, he tries to convince them to buy the boots for him, saying that they would be good for the whole family. His parents then tell Lincoln to buy them with his own money, and that if he does so, he will appreciate them even more. He starts to look for money for the Moon Boots: he finds a self-written note in his piggy bank that says he owes himself money; he finds a penny in the laundry; and he finds his misplaced lollipop in the living room sofa. Lincoln then decides to go to Grandma Scoots' house with flowers, but she tells him that his parents already called her and told her to not give him any money for Moon Boots. Back at his house, Lincoln starts to fret about not getting the money quickly enough. His mom suggests doing things around the house to earn it.

First, Lincoln opens a lemonade stand, but a brown dog grabs a bag of lemons and he chases after it. Next, he tries a kissing booth, only for a few girls to laugh as they passed by. Finally, he becomes a fortune teller, but then it starts to rain. Later, Lana offers to loan Lincoln some of her birthday money; however, Lincoln is in rejection at the idea after she tells him that in exchange, he has to be her servant for a year, calling her "Your Highness" and doing all her chores. After watching a Moon Boots commercial, Lincoln agrees to clean out the garage in exchange for two dollars from his mom. Mrs. Fieldman notices Lincoln and the garage, and mistakenly thinks Lincoln is having a garage sale. She finds a necklace among the boxes and offers to pay him ten dollars, to which Lincoln happily accepts. Lincoln finally buys his Moon Boots, and is eager to try them on. His mom gives him money for his Moon Boots after his good work on the garage, although Lincoln starts to feel regret for already buying them. His dad then asks Lincoln that he hopes Lincoln put everything back where he found it in the garage because he hid Lincoln’s mom's birthday present there, and it turns out that he got the necklace for Lincoln’s mom. Realizing that his dad will not forget about it, Lincoln tells him that he did not put the necklace back where he found it, and that he will go get it.

Lincoln explains the situation to Mrs. Fieldman at her house: she will give him back the necklace, and Lincoln will get back her ten dollars when he returns his Moon Boots. Mrs. Fieldman accepts, complimenting him for being "a very honest young man". Lincoln helps her rake up the leaves that fell in her yard, and comes up with an idea. Clyde notices Lincoln, and asks to try the Moon Boots out. Lincoln then says that he needs them to get all the leaves in exchange for the necklace from Mrs. Fieldman. Lincoln then starts jumping with the Moon Boots, knocking leaves off of her tree.
