Chapter 609.

"Warren's Info."

(Gus' Games n Grub.)

At the place where arcades are being played and fun is always everywhere. Lincoln, and Jordan along with Gretchen and Ryan are playing some games and they manage to win it and claim their tickets.

"Dang, got me tons of tickets." Ryan looks to the tickets in his hand and he shuffles them, and then he straightens them all. "Sounds like more than a thousand tickets, not enough for anything good."

Jordan smirks. "As smart as you always are, brother. But I do need to know one thing, what the heck are you planning to claim from the prize wall?"

They all look towards it and Lincoln point out each one. "With the moderate amount of more than a thousand tickets is worth the purchase of plush animals, or the action figures." They spot Lance, and he successfully got enough tickets for the new Transformers action figure.

"But with above a hundred thousand tickets, and you might get some cool small devices, or the NERF guns on sale, or that hot wheels racing track, and there are ten left." They see someone claim one. "Alright, nine left."

Ryan thinks about this/ "Sorry, but not for me. What's the most expensive prize on that wall?!"

Lincoln knows. "Yeah, well this is something Clyde already got and they still have more, the Rip Hardcore Waffle Iron that costs more than three thousand tickets, and then comes the rest of the small kitchen set. Chances Clyde is enjoying making waffles that…." He then checks his phone. "It's Clyde."

They go over and see the image of Clyde, and he's upset at the waffle iron that got burnt out and broke. "Okay, looks like the Waffle Iron might not be so good" said Gretchen. "You can still try and get something else."

"Well, until they got something worth the gamble, I am gonna save these bad boys for next time." Ryan then puts his tickets away. "So, where the heck is Hope? She gonna meet us here?"

Gretchen shakes her head in denial. "Nope, she said she's gonna hang out with Joy, Kat and Sadie. The girls are at the mall and checking on what new bathing suits are available for purchase and which are on sale, glad we got ours."

Jordan giggles. "At a good price too." She then sees the waitress arrive with their order, the spaghetti pizza.

"Dang that looks so good!" said Lincoln. He then notices something. "We're not the only ones who ordered this." They spot Liam, Zach, Tabby, Giggles, Flat Tire and Jenny in another booth and enjoying the same thing, and another booth with Lance, Trent, Artie, Darrel, Chad and Richie and they consume their large pizza.

"Well, well. Looks like the new pizza that good old Gus made is doing wonders" said Ryan. "I wouldn't be surprised if teenagers came in here to try this out." They all take a slice of their lunch and they enjoy the flavor of this new kind of pizza.

"This is so good, I have to take a pic of this and post it." Gretchen does so and she posts it and sends it to Hope and the others.

Ryan then notices some folks coming in. "Angel Carson and Mark Warren?"

They look to the main entrance of the arcade and see the duo walk in and go towards them. "Hey guys, mind if we sit here?" asked Angel.

"No problem" said Jordan. Angel and Mark sit next to Gretchen and Ryan. "So, what the heck are you guys doing here? I thought Mark was helping train the team for the big game soon."

"Yeah, we were. But then we took some breaks and thought we should continue when tomorrow comes." Mark and Angel then take a slice of the pizza. "Another reason is because they spotted three skunks making their home under the bleachers, and so animal control is handling that."

Angel then swallows her food. "Lisa's touchdown bot thought he could do it, and broke down. He may be water proof and immune to other liquids, but the robot is not skunk spray proof and it also blew up, poor thing."

Lincoln is surprised to hear this. "Dang, and Lisa worked so hard to make him. There goes another invention. Also, where are your parents staying at since they're now in town?"

Mark smiles. "That would be the mansion we rented out. I am moved out of the hotel Pertland and now sticking to the mansion, that kinda feels like my old home back in Tuscola. We're gonna be enjoying all the awesome summer together while in Royal Woods."

"This is gonna be so awesome!" Angel then kisses Marks' cheek. "My boyfriend and the rest of my awesome friends all together and enjoying an awesome summer vacation, and at a water park too!"

Jordan smirks. "Oh heck yeah, 8 days at the water park is gonna be awesome, and there's the hotel there too. You're parents are so rich and cool, but I do question how that came to be with the riches and stuff."

Mark then tells them. "Well, to be truthful, my family wasn't the rich kind of folks, well they thought they weren't. My mom didn't live the rich and fancy life and was as normal as any other folks, though she lost her grandpa at the time of that dumb Vietnam War. Worst thing America has ever done, oh and Russia too."

"So, anyway…. My mom along with her parents are the owners of a jewelry store, which was where she got her talent to looking to see if the gems and other stuff and legit, and through this she became the popular girl in school, and was the talk of her peers, but she doesn't see them as her friends her true friend was Clara, a poodle."

"A shame she lost her dog, and all because of some drunk driver who slammed his car onto their jewelry store and that dumb drunk driver was sued for his actions and fired from his job and sent far away from Tuscola, I think I recall my mom remembering the last name of the man, McCann or something and that he fled to Royal Woods."

Lincoln and Jordan are shocked, and Gretchen and Ryan look to them and they remain silent and let Mark continue. Then Jordan asks. "So, what about your dad?"

Mark chuckles. "Alright, so this is gonna be a total shocker alert…. He never knew he was part of the rich life!"

This surprises them, but not Angel Carson. "What? What do you mean?" asked Ryan.

Angel explains. "Mark told me about this. So, his dad and his parents and brother, they live the common life of being tenants inside of an apartment building, and enjoyed whatever they have and not want. Sure they made their own masks for Halloween, but they would be hard working to help the family."

"Mr. Warren's father, the man works as a conductor for a freight train, and he barely comes home because of the late night shifts he has to take, and yet he does so to help provide for the whole family, but he actually has a talent in leading and engineering."

"He was also a former construction worker, but he was let go because they needed to cut corners and costs and pay checks. So, being part of the rail yard was the one thing he could do, while they're mom helped tend to gardens and cleaning houses, so she's hired for house cleaning and she even got a big reward for stopping someone from robbing the house."

"Mr. Warrens and his brother Zander, they worked as newspaper boys, but Mark's dad was keen in doing business stuff and always hit the books, while his brother was the kind of kid who would wanna fight for the law, and he wanted to be a cop, or a secret agent."

Mark then explains what happened next. "What happens next, was something they did not see coming. Apparently, my dad's father didn't know that his grandfather passed away, and he has left him the riches of the family fortune. The Warrens' Family name is a former shipping company and manufacturer for tires."

"The company closed down when better ones popped up, but the riches remained and so my dad and his family lived it up a notch, and though they bought a nice looking house, it wasn't enough. They decided to help my Uncle Zander get his dream, and he went to law school and police academy."

"My dad went off to a private school and learned to be a business man, but both of them always had time for the family, and then my grandpa and grandma, they started a new business, and that business was owning a family friendly community pool, and greenhouse."

"They became iconic and well-known, and then my dad and uncle advanced in life and my dad began to make his company, and try to rebuild the old tire building industry and it worked, while my uncle went off to being the best cop, then he became a detective and then advanced as a lawman for the government. Then he chose to go to military school and became a soldier."

"Then came the unexpected moment, when my mom Vanessa met my dad, Michael and they talked and got to know each other, they met when my dad was off to work, and he ran into my mom who was gonna open up a new jewelry store with the riches she got from the success of the previous jewelry store."

"You guys know where that would lead" replied Mark. He then eats another slice of pizza.

Lincoln and the others are shocked by what they hear. "Dang, now that is an awesome back story of your parents, they really did whatever they could to reach the top and then find someone, each other" said Jordan.

Mark nods. "Dang right, a shame that both my grandparents are not with us, they retired and then passed away three years ago, but they're watching over us, always."

"You're family has a very interesting and unexpected life" said Lincoln. "Truly awesome." But deep down he's still shocked. 'Mark's family on the mother's side encountered McCann family?! What the heck?!'

Then Gretchen sees some teenagers. "What the heck? Leni Loud?"

They also look to the door and see them: Leni, Jackie, Mandee, Fiona and Miguel. "Leni, what the heck are you guys doing here?"

"The Dim Yum place is closed…." Then the light turns ominously spooky at Fiona's face. "Forever." then it goes back to normal. "So, we're gonna hang out here."

"Gus' is the one place where my friends and I can be able to hang out and have fun, and also have some lunch" replied Leni. "We tried going to other places."

Jackie. "We don't go to the Burnt Bean because I can't handle hot liquids, well really hot ones."

Miguel. "No to anywhere that has too much meat, I just became a vegetarian."

Mandee. "You're dad's restaurant was super packed, looks like everyone wants the dose of the Red tacos. Also, Lori is helping them with the service."

Fiona. "The Aloha Comrade is closed due to inspection of something wrong, and we really need something to eat."

"Okay, well they got the new pizza here and the games are still available for you guys to enjoy" said Ryan.

"Awesome!" said Leni. They go over and sit at the booth neighboring them. Then Leni recalls something. "Right, my friends are coming with us to the Water Park this Saturday."

This makes Lincoln spit out his soda onto Gretchen and Ryan. "Dude, seriously?!" The same thing is hit onto Mark and Angel. "Glad we brought wet wipes."

Lincoln looks to Leni, and so does Jordan. "What?"

Jackie nods. "We totes wanna see how fun it is, and don't worry. We're all gonna have fun, not like flirting is on the menu on someone who's quite haired and cute." Mandee also giggles.

Lincoln is bright red and goes back to his seat, and Jordan notices this and smirks. "Well, well. Looks like things are gonna be a real kicker. You nervous, Linc?" She kisses his cheek.

Lincoln is annoyed and he can see the smirk from Jordan. "This is gonna be Aloha Beach Resort and Hotel all over again for you, huh?"

Leni then recalls. "Oh right, Carol is also tagging along. We're all gonna have so much fun! Just like Aloha Beach, but without the shark."

Lincoln sighs in relief. "Thank goodness for…." He looks to Mark. "There is no shark right?"

Mark is wide eyed and realizes. "Oh boy."

To be continued…

A/N: We're gonna have to wait tomorrow to know more about the Warrens Water Zone Water Park and what else it has, and I hope "Avenger44" likes what I added for the origin of Marks' mother and father, also this small scenario is from the episode "Grub Snub." Leave a review and tell me what you all think.

The next chapter will be posted on July 2, for the 1st birthday of Lucas Henvers!
