Chapter 536.
"The whole ordeal about Ruth."
(Royal Woods Middle School.)
School is now done for the day and everyone is ready to get home, and now we see Lincoln Loud walking with Jordan Rosato walking with their friends and telling them all about what had happened the other day.
"Buddy, you're great aunt Ruth is one walking nightmare for anyone" said Liam. "Those food she kept, could kill even my farm animals."
"We all saw the news and she is delusional and crazy" said Trent. "I mean, does she even care about the well-being of her own family? You guys could've died."
"The food may have been poisonous due to age, but the real issue is from the living conditions of her home" said Delilah. "We also got word that she's been a hassle to deal with when the nurse came in to help."
Lincoln sighs. "Yeah, she doesn't seem fond of folks she doesn't know about and also folks who would make her change the stuff going around her home."
"Glad I came in and put an end to it and it looked like she hated me to my bones" said Jordan. "I mean, I know she blames me for being with Lincoln, because they haven't been visiting her often."
"You're not the issue here, girl" said Joy. "You pretty much saved their butts from getting killed, and also getting bored at what she's capable of doing. I mean, I like cats, but to just have that too many and diseased filled? That's where I draw the line."
"This so reminds me of that show I saw long ago called, Confessions: Animal Hoarding and the other show called Hoarders" said Darrel. "Be lucky she didn't end up on the show otherwise it'd be super awkward and a bad thing for her if folks saw what she has become."
"Thank goodness Lisa did her part and saved you guys all those years ago" said Clyde. "Even though she has made some mistakes with her science experiments and stuff, at least she cared for everyone's safety and made sure the rest of you didn't get hurt or worse."
"I can see that the other reason to cure them was to not have some new disease spread all over town" said Tabby. "That one is a fact that is darn right true, mates."
They all make it to their lockers and put their things away. "So, what's the scoop on Ruthie and the whole aftermath of her doing?" asked Mollie.
Lincoln closes his locker. "As of now, she'll be spending the remainder of her time under house arrest, and a nurse from Sunset Canyon will come and assist, and from what Peter Harris said, if she doesn't cooperate and make her home better and less of a disaster, then they're bringing in a professional."
Jordan then continues for her boyfriend. "She will be in her home for the next five months, the Louds decided to go easy on her, and this professional is straight from Germany and has dealt with folks such as her, and even knows how to make sure they don't go overboard in doing something dastardly."
"She won't be able to get much visits from us. That is if we can even trust her again. But I doubt she can even be nice when we do get the chance to visit her" said Lincoln. "Chances she might not be keen on the whole thing that happened because of Jordan, well sucks to be here and it's her own fault too."
"Also, she won't be getting anything from Pop-pop from his will, he's removing her from it for when…. Well, when my grandfather kicks the bucket one day, and he's still kicking and grooving, and it also means she won't get credit in the new neighborhood that's gonna open this summer."
"Right, Royal Dawn" said Laurence. "The one place that seems like a good neighborhood, bur kinda far from the school. My parents are thinking of moving there, but the distance it takes might be an issue. Where's it based at again?"
They all begin to walk down the halls once more. "Somewhere on the Eastern side of town, near the border that leads out of Royal Woods" replied Lincoln. "But you do have a point there, Laurence."
"There has to be some way for some kids with their families going there to get between their line of work and school and the home they live in" said Jordan. "Maybe Mayor Davis will come up with something."
Zach then has an idea. "How about waiting for your hero counterparts to come here and ask if they found a solution to their Royal Dawn?"
They think about this. "Zachary Gurdle that is not a bad idea" said Lincoln. "We'd have to wait for them to come here though, and we haven't gotten a visit from them since February."
Zach smiles. "No problem, also what about the big sleepover you guys are having this Friday night?"
They all make it out of the school. "Right, Laird's turn to be the one for the sleepover, which is what we heard from Ronnie Anne" said Jordan. "Well, we don't even know where he lives, but chances it's gonna be a mansion. I mean, he said he's been homeschooled and he seems rich by looks."
"That does sound like a good theory" said Flat Tire. "But you guys won't know till you get there." He then gets onto his bike and rides off. "Well, see you guys tomorrow." Jenny does the same and she follows him, they both are gonna hang out for the day.
Lincoln and Jordan wave to their pals and then walk together back to The Loud House. "So, what the heck is your mom doing now?" asked Jordan.
"Well, she feels bad for what had happened, and last night, the sisters didn't seem happy about what had happened" replied Lincoln. "Heck, even Lori got super miffed when Leni called her, and said that soon she'll be here to discuss about what transpired."
"Then dad was a bit shocked and he kinda knew, and felt bad for not doing anything, and we can't blame him. Mom fell for the tricks from Ruth and the sole reason as to why most of the times our budget is shot, because she always donates some cash to her. Turns out, Ruth is loaded."
Jordan is surprised. "What?! How? When?!"
"Some say it's because of her ex-husbands, wherever they are" said Lincoln. "She may have left them with the cash she got from them, and then never saw them again, and now she's doing a trick to take the cash from the family. Glad Pop-pop didn't end up giving her all of his funds, or he'd be bankrupt."
"She also owes us a lot of cash, the number of cash has been calculated by Lisa and it's approximately more than 10,000 dollars, the cash that mom gave her from being tricked, and I know for a fact that Ruth is not happy about this, well she did this to herself and didn't even bother to just use the cash she had. She's like some kind of greedy crab hoarding cash."
Jordan scoffs. "Sure sounds like it, but what about Luna and Leni? I mean, after the whole deal with last year and those checkups, they probably don't seem to…."
"They're having it hard trying to trust and forgive mom" replied Lincoln. "They are the current eldest in the house, and they don't want any of us to get hurt from actions that might be harmful, especially if that said harm is within the family itself and it seems to be centered from either mom and dad."
"The whole conflict from when Leni had those tumors in her head and then removed, that was the start and after what we witnessed from Ruth and her home, that was the fire that's gonna be made from more to come, and we need to be sure that either mom or dad doesn't do anything drastic to regain the trust from us and this morning, Luna has been glaring at mom like a bald eagle and same with the eagles."
"Even Patriot and Valkyrie are miffed at what transpired the other day, and I know the other eagles are feeling the same way too. But, we are gonna have a meeting on giving them the chance they need to be redeemed, because I haven't forgotten the words from our hero-counterparts."
"I don't want our family to be torn apart, from dark mistakes. Sure, the sisters and I had made some mistakes, but if the mistakes are from the parents, then that is one totally different picture and something we need to be careful about."
Jordan can tell that the whole thing has made The Louds worrisome, and she knows that this could be bad. 'Gotta try and see how to make this less of an issue, can't have the Louds go through a separation event, we can't let the same fate from the hero counterparts befall onto this family.'
Jordan then has an idea. 'I need to speak to Rita Loud, soon.'
(Ketcham Park.)
Right now we see Lisa playing with Darcy and Darcy is happy for what Lisa did for her family all those years ago. "What you did Lisa that was really nice" said Darcy. "You helping your family from that icky food they ate was the nicest thing ever."
Lisa nods. "Thank you Darcy, and I did so to ensure they wouldn't fall and turn our town into ground zero to a new strain of virus that could bring harm to our town, nation and possibly the world."
"Well, it was all still nice of you to do, and I'm sure you family is happy for what you did" said Darcy.
Lisa then finishes making her sand castle. "Indeed they were, and they even said that they shall let me pick out where we can have our weekends out, but not this Saturday. I need to attend my brother's competition event."
"That's good for you Lisa, also how're thins with your mom?" asked Darcy. They spot Lola and Lana, and Lily being watched over by Michelle, and she's speaking with Jillian and her infant son is with them and playing with his plush panda and Cascoon.
Lisa sighs. "It appears that she's trying to find some way to make amends for her long past mistakes of being tricked by Ruth, and for not seeing us suffering and nearly getting killed by that rancid food she kept feeding us, while mother has been tea-drinking with that old fool we call family."
"We only hope she can find some way to make it up to us after her doings from being fooled by Ruth, but most of us barely want anything to do with her. I fear that this is the start of something very bad, and could most likely tear the family apart."
Darcy didn't like the sound of that. "Well, try and find some point to where you guys can forgive her, and give her the chance she needs to make it up to ya. I know it was rough with Leni and the rest of you with the whole bad checkups all those years."
"But they're your parents, and I know you wouldn't want them to try and go through some depression problems into trying to get the trust and forgiveness from you guys."
Lisa nods. "That's a good point, there Darcy. Thank you, and excellent work with the long vocabulary and wise words."
Darcy nods. "After hanging around you and hearing all the big words you say, I have been learning and doing my best to be your best friend and voice of reason. Because you may be smart, Lisa Loud but you need someone to help you see through the times when you might make a mistake."
Lisa smirks. "And I thank you for being my one good and best friend, thank you Darcy."
"No problem Lisa." Darcy then sees Butterfree fluttering around the twins and Lily. "So, anything new about the resident Pokémon of the park?"
Lisa then looks to the bushes. "I feel as if I am being watched, and chances it could be a Pokémon species, and I am doing my best to leave it be and wait for it to show up."
Darcy didn't know where this was going, but even she felt something watching them and something is from the bushes and it speaks one word to itself. "Elgyem."
To be continued…
A/N: Well, that's the aftermath of Ruth and soon they will have to face odds that involve their mother trying to earn back what she had been made a fool of, and it might be through the help of Jordan Rosato. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
