Chapter 603. "Casagrande Ordeals."

(Great Lakes City.)

Summer time in Great Lakes City, and the group from Royal Woods have arrived to check on their friends here. We have Lori, Lincoln, Jordan, Angel, Mark, Ryan, Gretchen, Hope, and along with some of the eagles. Lori's friends are also there, including Jessica Carson and she is looking forward to what they can have fun in, Great Lakes City.

"Okay, so you guys are gonna go have some fun and I'll check on Bobby" said Lori. She already heads to the Mercado and looks for her Boo-Boo Bear.

"We're gonna check out Margarita's hair salon and see how we can style our hair for the summer." Jessica goes over and hugs her little sister. "Stay safe, sis and have fun too."

Angel returns the hug. "We will, sis." They depart from the hug and they watch the older girls go to where the salon is. Lincoln and the gang head to the Casagrande apartment and they walk in.

They see the door of the Casagrande apartment and knock on the door, but it's opened by Lalo and he barks and tackles Jordan and licks her. "Alright, alright. We missed you too bud."

Then the large dog tackles Lincoln and licks him and this makes Lincoln chuckle. "Good to see ya too, Lalo. Please get off." The dog does so and he sees Yamper and Rockruff and so he plays with them in the apartment room.

"Hey guys." Ronnie Anne appears and with her is, Sid. "Glad you all made it, come on in."

The group walks in and they see Rosa is cleaning. "Oh, good to see that you have all arrived, and on time too. Because I finished making this." They all look to the many food she made on the table, and this makes them have stars in their eyes.

"Whoa! So cool!" Mark goes over and tries some. "This tastes awesome."

Rosa smiles at the compliment she gets from her good cooking, then she gets a call from her phone and she sees who it is, she then puts her phone away and has her tool kit. "Mija, stay here with your friends and keep an eye on Carlitos, I have to get Nelson out of the toilet, again."

They watch Rosa race off to Mr. Nakamura's room. "Does this happen a lot?" asked Angel.

Ronnie Anne nods. "From time to time, we really question how Nelson keeps getting clogged into the toilet, when he shouldn't be allowed to go into the bedroom. It's kinda confusing, and how does he keep flushing himself?"

"There is so much to know on what the heck is going on with Nelson" said Jordan. They all come over to the table and enjoy some food. "So, where the heck are CJ, Carl and Carlota?"

"Carlota is busy with her friends, CJ is hanging out at the arcade with Tia Frida and Tio Carlos, and Carl is at the park, with his new Pizza powered Go-Kart, along with Sergio" replied Ronnie Anne.

They all stop eating and look towards her. "What?!"

Ronnie Anne then tells them what happened when they came back to Great Lakes City, and what Carl did to get his hands on the prize he didn't win at the Pizza place. This is something they did not see coming.

"Wow. Though, Lana has a Go-Kart too, and she still uses her to go around town, and it's not pizza powered" said Lincoln. He then swallows his churro. "But still, a pizza powered Go-Kart?!"

Sid nods. "Yeah, I know and even I couldn't believe it, and it almost sounds impossible to make."

"Carl tried to be nice? Not possible, at least he spoke the truth on what he did" said Jordan. "He's still troublesome, and I doubt that Kart he has is gonna be around longer, it's made of Pizza from what you said."

Then Hope notices something from Carlitos. "Where the heck did he get that new plush penguin from? It's kinda cute?"

Ronnie Anne looks to Carlitos playing with his plush penguin. "Well, from what Tio Carlos said, he got that from Alexis after he said he found the little guy at the park, and that penguin plush was supposed to be from the arcade, and now belongs to Carlitos."

"Alexis said that he felt bad that Carlitos wanted something and didn't get it, and so he did what he could to win him something, still weird for the one plush he was trying to get, to end up in the park, and from what CJ noticed, it's the very same plush Carlitos had his eye on at the arcade."

Ryan thinks about this. "Unusual, you guys think he may have gotten into an adventure of the unexpected sorts and then got the chance to claim the plush and still have to make it out of the trouble he was gonna get into?"

Ronnie Anne chuckles. "Dude, there is no way that would've happened. Because Carlitos was asleep the whole time when Alexis found the plush."

"Meh, fair enough" said Ryan and they continue to eat their food.

Then Lincoln asks. "So, mind telling us what you guys did with the mask of La Tormenta?"

Ronnie Anne and Sid chuckle nervously, and then tell them what they did. From the tenant who was the Lucahdora herself, and to the whole ordeal when they lost the mask, made a new one and then had to find the real one because the fake one was not going to make her win.

"Dude, that is so messed up!" said Mark.

"Yeah, from the honor of the Lucha wrestling, it is the common thing for them to feel the power of the mask they wore from when they started" said Jordan. "Also, if the mask is removed, then that is disgraceful and shameful for the person who was doing such act, and would disappoint the wrestler who wore the mask."

"Yet the kind of ordeal happened on some occasions on WWE" said Lincoln. "Let it be from Rey Mysterio, to Kalisto. At least you guys fessed up on what you did, that was wrong."

"Yeah we know" said Sid. "At least we made friends with her, kinda like you guys making friends with WWE Wrestlers. Are you guys still in touch with them?"

"Sorta" said Jordan. "But we don't wanna make a big thing of having them come over, because we know that they're super busy with their own thing, and we are so stoked for the next paper-view event such as the Money in the Bank."

"Now that one we are so gonna watch!" said Mark. "I am a super fan of the sports, and I have a collection of the whole thing too, and my first action figure, The Rated-R superstar, Edge. He's so awesome and cool! Shame he couldn't win a title after his second Royal Rumble Win."

"We're already starting to watch the whole thing" said Sid. "It all looks super cool, and awesome."

Gretchen then notices someone coming. "Guys, Carl's back." They all see Carl and Sergio wearing the helmet from the Kart, and they're both eating pizza.

"Carl? Sergio? What happened to the Go-Kart?" asked Ronnie Anne.

Carl sighs. "We don't wanna talk about it." The kid and the parrot go to his room to ignore them.

Sid then looks towards Jordan. "Dude, you just predicted the whole thing! Awesome! Also, how's Bernardo the panther, and how is Michelle?! We heard about what happened when her family showed up! Also, we heard you got hurt!"

Ronnie Anne then calms her down. "Whoa there, Sid. Ease it up."

Jordan then swallows the taco. "Michelle is fine and she's recovering, and those cousins of hers are gonna be locked up for what they did, and Bernardo the Black Panther is a hero for what he did, and I'm doing fine after I got stabbed in the leg."

"We never thought folks like them would end up trying something that dangerous to sneak into something that is not in theirs anymore" said Lincoln. He then drinks some of the soda. "At least they're not coming back, and the rest of the Lewis family are gonna be questioned for what happened."

"But the whole thing is obviously something they had all been planning since Michelle claimed the rights to the mansion and riches" said Hope.

"At least that trouble is over" said Gretchen. She then looks towards Ronnie Anne. "So, how was the one week stay at your Great Grandmother's home?"

"We should all go to the couch" said Ronnie Anne. They all go to the couch with some of the food, and so Ronnie Anne tells them.

"The one week stay at Great Grandma Lupe's home was something we didn't see coming, though it seemed far because it wasn't in America, we thought it'd be something we might not like, but it's not. The whole thing was so cool!"

She then shows them the home of Mama Lupe, and it looks like a traditional fancy Mexican home, and it had a large farm not too far from the place, and lots of trees and a very friendly community.

"Whoa! Fancy, and pretty peaceful too" said Lincoln. "Was there anything fun to do there?"

"A lot, and I thought it would bore me out and it's also the first time I was enjoying some hard work too" said Ronnie Anne. "I even showed Mama Lupe a new and fast way to harvest the fruit, she seemed okay with it, and turns out, she's also a fan of Lucha Wrestling and she also watches LA Tormenta! But just wait when I tell her that we met her for reals!"

"What about the neighborhood?" asked Jordan. "It has got to be something friendly, right?"

Ronnie Anne chuckles nervously. "Well, the boys there haven't seen anyone like me before. Carlota was pretty much a show-off to the guys there, and they all tried to flirt with her, and she showed them that they're not worthy for her, and…. It broke their hearts."

"Dang, wait, what about Bobby?!" asked Ryan. Then they hear Lori's angry voice.

"What?!"

Ronnie Anne sighs. "The girls wanted his attention, and he did what he could to avoid them and thank goodness Paco knew how to fend them off, with his own charms. Mama Lupe's parrot knows how to talk to the girls of the neighborhood and swoon them over to stop."

"Bobby only saw the house of Mama Lupe as the one place where he was safe, and avoid being targeted by all the girls in the community, Carl was jealous, and ended up getting grounded for doing some trouble, but CJ was pretty alright having fun with some kids there."

"Tia Frida showed everyone she was a fantastic artists, and Tio Carlos was…. Well, a good teacher. He helped the local teachers with some information that would be good for the community to at least understand some stuff. Then there's… Well, me."

Sid was now concerned. "Ronnie Anne Santiago, what the heck happened?"

Ronnie Anne then tells them. "Some guys, wanted to flirt with me and even tried to sing to me at my window. They seemed to like a tough girl like me and were impressed of me being a city kind of girl, and this annoyed my Abuela and Bobby. Thankfully, I evaded the boys and made sure they stayed away."

They all look to Sid, and she crushes the can of soda, and then the taco she's holding. "What?!" Ronnie Anne knew she would get upset, but Sid is beyond upset. She's furious!

Then they hear an upset commotion from the Mercado. "Next time you go there, I am coming along to teach those girls a lesson not to claim you!"

Lincoln could tell, that this meeting with their friends just turned from enjoyable, to super awkward real fast. 'Maybe when they calm down, then we can tell them about the Warren Water Zone theme park.'

To be continued…

A/N: The many stuff they're talking about are from the three new episodes I watched: "Saving Face", "Fluff Love" and "Matters of the Kart." Along with whatever it was that The Casagrandes did at their great grandmother's home for one week. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
