Chapter 602.
"Returning to normal-ish."

(Franklin Avenue.)

Luna's car comes back from the hospital and coming out are Lincoln, Luna, Jordan and Michelle. Michelle Lewis is now patched up and looking fine, but her gut hurts and she'll need to do les stuff that might do more damage while she's healing.

"Feels good to be back home" said Michelle. "And I could only guess that a lot of folks are waiting for me with a big surprise, right?"

Luna chuckles. "You know the loud family all too well dude."

Michelle smirks. "Guys, I've been dealing with the chaos and bedlam and other stuff for almost a year, so I know when the others have something planned." She then sees something come out from the tree and she smiles at who it is.

The Black Panther, Bernardo goes over and she kneels down and hugs the large feline. "Oh, I missed you too, and you did an amazing job saving Lincoln, Jordan and Luna from danger. You don't have to feel like you did no wrong, okay buddy?"

The panther nods and licks her cheek, and this makes her chuckle. Lincoln, Luna and Jordan record this whole thing, and smile at the sight. Michelle then looks to the others. "Alright, let's go see what the rest of the family has for me."

They all walk into the house, and they see the rest of their family and friends and they all cheer. "Welcome back, Michelle!"

Michelle smiles seeing this. "Wow. Well, this seems like the normal stuff, and you guys made a lot of food too. That is many, but recall that I can't be able to eat anything solid until my injuries are healed up, right?"

"No worries, Lori and I made smoothies, and we made sure Lynn didn't get involved" said Leni.

Lynn just looks away and scoffs. "Hey, raw eggs are good smoothies too you know."

"Lynn those do not count as smoothies" said Lori. She then goes over and hugs Michelle. "Also, I made sure that your house was doing okay, but Bernardo here didn't stay in the house and just stuck to being around Lincoln and Luna."

They depart from the hug and Michelle pets the head of the Black Panther. "Yeah, I think I get the idea. He knows that Linc and Lunes are the closest to family for me and the sole reason why I am here now."

She then looks to everyone. "This is all so amazing everyone thank you. Well, we should eat now." They all cheer and go over and enjoy the food that was made, and even thank Michelle for doing what she could to save Lincoln, Luna and Jordan.

Rita and Lynn Sr can see just how much the two children they have mean so much to Michelle, and why she sees them as family. They've been through a lot and through the troubles they've been through, Michelle has been doing her part to keep them safe and sound.

Even though Luna has her own task that she placed on herself to be there for Lincoln and Jordan, but Rita and Lynnard also see why Michelle intends to let Lincoln, Luna and Jordan be part of the Lewis Estate one day. They are a family, a well-bonded one too.

(Later.)

After the big party and celebration for the release of Michelle from the hospital, everyone is back to being the usual normal around the block, and Michelle is back at her place resting with her panther watching over her.

We now go to the backyard and see Lincoln, Jordan, Ryan, Gretchen, Hope, Angel and Mark Warrens, and they're all talking about what Angel and Mark did while they were gone. The eagles stay flying high and keeping sure that nothing comes to ruin this peace.

"So, we just spent the usual normal hang out with the rest of your friends here, and we had an awesome time getting to know each one" said Angel. "Though, Rusty said he wants to try something new, and that something is skateboarding and doing bike stunts."

"And the results didn't go so well, and which is why he's now on the cast" said Mark. "Seriously, it is nice to see him try something new for a change, but it's not the best option. It's not shameful to bail."

Jordan sighs. "Yeah, Rusty needs to be careful. So, where is he now?"

"At home, grounded" replied Hope. "His little stunt, broke the window of a cop car."

They stop eating their left over cake and are surprised. "Wow. How long is his grounding?" asked Lincoln.

"Two to three weeks" replied Mark. Also, that stunt almost got us into the line of fire. He has to be cautious, but that whole ordeal has made him learn an important lesson, and that lesson is not to endanger his friends."

"Dang" said Ryan. "Well, at least he's learning through his punishment. Also there's one thing that has been on my mind, Mark. Where the heck are you staying?"

"At the Pertland mansion" replied Mark. "Yeah, my mom and dad will be here in town soon, and when the time does come, then we could all have an awesome family outing, and Angel and I have it all figured out."

"Cool, what is it?" asked Lincoln.

Angel then tells them. "Alright so the Warrens have made this special announcement, they made an awesome water park resort not too far from Royal woods, it's called the Warren's Water Zone and it is so cool! We can spend the week or two at the place, and the grand opening is on July 3!"

Now this has their attention. "Well, hot dang guys! That does sound cool, we can celebrate the fourth of July there too!" said Gretchen with excitement.

"We're gonna need to tell this to the rest of the family" said Lincoln. "But, I know my family will love this idea and want to go, we are so gonna have an awesome good time there!"

"I'd like to try that too." they all get startled when Lucy appears. "Sorry, I was behind the tree the whole time." She then gets up and walks back into the house.

"Dang, she is so spooky" said Mark. "Anyway, I can tell my parents that you guys will be ready soon, and then when the dawn comes for us to open the place, then we'll have tons of fun and I'll see if I can squeeze in some fancy place for the rest of us to chill."

Ryan chuckles. "Dude, you are one cool rich kid. Also, another thing that has been on my mind. How the heck do you get from here to the Pertland Mansion?"

"He has a limo" replied Hope. "Saw it, blue colored and longer than our limo's."

Lincoln and the others are surprised to hear that. "Dang, looks like a lot of us are living it to the top of the rich and fancy, and yet aren't snobs in the whole gig" said Lincoln.

"At this point, you should get a limo too, Loud" replied Mark.

Lincoln chuckles nervously. "Yeah, that didn't turn out well long ago, and we're not planning to have one." Just then, he sees this message from Ronnie Anne and Sid. "Huh, look guys."

They come over and see the message from their friends at Great Lakes City.

Ronnie Anne: Dude, our new tenant here in the apartment is none other than the lady of Lucha wrestling herself. La Tormenta! She is so cool, and things almost turned from bad to worse.

Sid: We almost got her lost in her championship match, and all because we accidently got her real Lucha mask missing. We got it back, because the one we replaced it with was not gonna work out. We also had to tell her the truth and she's not angry with us. We made a wrestling friend!

The group are surprised by this. "At least they settled that ordeal, almost like they have their own adventures going on over there" said Lincoln.

Then Angel asks. "Hey, when can we go over and visit Great Lakes City?"

Lincoln and Jordan whisper to each other, and then look to the others. "We can do it tomorrow, but we're gonna need someone to take us there, and I know who" said Lincoln.

He then looks to the backyard of the Lewis house, and he sees Lori and Leni talking to each other, and then comes Jessica, Carol, Dana and Whitney. Lincoln knows one thing, Lori will wanna bring them there just for the reason to see Bobby, again.

Lincoln then recalls something. 'Wait, when do we go on tour with Luna and her band?'

To be continued in the next chapter.

A/N: Michelle Lewis is back home, and still healing, while the group have a new plan for July 3, and that would be the big one week stay on the Warren's Water Zone Theme Park, but they have to speak about this to the rest of the family, chances they'll say yes. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
