Spells and Louds
Chapter 134: More than one date
(Spellman Estate)
Lincoln sets his Vulture Bike ready for a drive in front of the house, then he hears galloping and spots Luna and her ride Glace had just returned from a small stroll in the nearby woods.
"Hey there little bro, you ready to go on your date tonight?" asked Luna.
"Sure am, I know exactly where to take Jordan and she's going to love it" replied Lincoln. "Do you have a date tonight sis?"
"Not really. Sam is having a night out with Ember, they want to get to know each other. Sam did say that maybe next time I can join in and it can be a ladies night out" replied Luna.
"Cool" Lincoln then activates his helmet. "Well I'm off sis."
Luna wave's goodbye as her brother drives off, then she sees her mom and dad leave the house and head into Neil's car. "You guys going somewhere?"
"Your father and I are going on a night out" replied Gwen.
"There's food on the table for dinner, a pot of fried chicken and some gravy. Luna, you and Sunset are in charge since Leni is at a sleepover" replied Neil. They then hop into Neil's car and drive off into Royal Woods.
"Hmm, how many people are having a date night tonight?" Luna asked herself, she then heads back into the house where she is greeted by her Pokemon Loudred and Sunset is on the couch checking on her phone.
(Rosato Residence)
Lincoln arrives and sees Jordan waiting.
Jordan is wearing a yellow short-sleeved blouse with some floral patterns, light blue skirt that reaches her knees, white knee high socks and brown short heeled shoes, along with the necklace he gave her.
Lincoln is wearing a grey suit with pants, an orange bow tie and black shoes.
"You're looking handsome tonight Lincoln" replied Jordan.
"You're not so bad yourself beautiful" replied Lincoln.
The two kids share a chuckle and then Jordan hops behind Lincoln and they drive off.
"So, where are we going for tonight handsome?" asked Jordan. "Somewhere interdimensional or somewhere local?"
"No spoilers my love" replied Lincoln.
(Outskirts of Royal Woods, near an abandoned log cabin)
The Vulture Bike stops and the door appears. "Oh, Western Restaurant Nekoya. Now that does sound romantic" replied Jordan.
"Let's hope it's not closing time" replied Lincoln.
They both enter the door and see a few customers were there. They see old man Pork Loin Cutlet and his elf friend who orders Croquettes, The man of Curry Rice, The grandfather and grandson who eat spaghetti with meat sauce and the fairy queen and her subjects eating Crepes.
"Looks packed, sort of" replied Lincoln.
They are soon greeted by Aletta. "Hello and welcome, oh it's you again Lincoln and Jordan. Please take a seat anywhere and I'll bring you two some menus."
Lincoln and Jordan take their seat and look around the place, no matter how many times they go to the restaurant it feels like a new world every time.
Then the door opens again and they see it was Hollow and Musa. "Lincoln and Jordan?" said Hollow.
"You two here on a date?" asked Musa. The two kids nod. "You two?" asked Jordan.
"Pretty much" replied Hollow. The two then head to a table that is neighboring Lincoln's and Jordan's.
"So, how things are back in your world?" asked Musa.
"Doing well, though with a lot of the Pokemon in the area it's becoming less stressful" replied Lincoln.
"The citizens really like the company of the Pokemon, they are quite helpful. Kinda like Rime stone City" replied Jordan.
"But they have been given warnings about some Pokemon that could be dangerous" said Lincoln.
"What about the rumors about this Grass-Type monkey looking Pokemon? Any word about it?" asked Hollow.
"Nothing, Lisa hasn't had any footage of the new Pokemon. But she said it was not a Pansage or Simisage" replied Lincoln.
"You think there's another Pokemon region out there we all don't know about?" asked Jordan.
"With all that's been happening, I'm pretty sure" replied Musa.
"By the way, have you two ever thought about what kind of Pokemon you're looking for?" asked Lincoln.
"Not really, not quite feeling responsible to care for a Pokemon, yet" replied Hollow.
"Same here, got some stuff to do back in Magix" replied Musa.
Then the door opens again and coming was a shocker for them. Leon and Dana?" said Jordan.
"You gotta be kidding me?" said Leon. "So this is where you and Jordan are planning for your date night?"
"We didn't know you two would be here" replied Lincoln. "Same" replied Hollow.
"Wait a minute, I thought you were both going to the movies" said Jordan.
"Yeah, all the movies were sold out" replied Leon.
"Dang man, that must be harsh" said Hollow.
"Well, this just turned into a triple date" replied Dana. "At least we all know each other, it's nice to have some friends here" replied Leon.
Leon and Dan find they're seat neighboring the other side of Lincoln and Jordan's table.
"So, Leon. How is it in the squared ring with Sergei?" asked Hollow.
"Going well. We're thinking of going for tag team gold, someday" replied Leon.
"I'm sure you two will win. You guys have been demolishing undisputed era even with some extra tag team back up" replied Dana.
"I can't believe Matt Riddle and Keith Lee came to aid you two" said Lincoln.
"Same" replied Leon.
Soon Aletta returns with some menus.
They all take the menus and look through all the meals.
Aletta soon comes back. "So, have you all decided yet?"
They all put their menus down and respond the same thing. "Surprise us."
Aletta was shocked, she didn't really know what that meant. "No worries Aletta, I think I know what to do" replied the chef from the kitchen.
Soon they all hear the sounds of pots boiling and food being diced and chopped up. Some new smells are now flying around the restaurant and some of the customers are aroused by the smell.
Soon the food was served to them being carried by Aletta, Kuro and the chef master.
Lincoln and Jordan got two plates of Macaroni and cheese in meat sauce with some shell peeled shrimp along with some iced tea.
Hollow and Musa got two plates of sliced lobster all packed onto a lobster tail with tartar sauce and wine.
Leon and Dana got two plates of Fillet Mignon in lemon sauce dressing and iced tea as well.
The customers were amazed, they've never seen the master cook this kind of stuff nor have they seen this kind of food. Aletta was shocked the most.
"Wow! Taking it to a fancy level I see" said Hollow.
"This looks like a master chef worthy dish" said Leon.
"How in the world?" said Lincoln.
The master smiles. "I actually knew that one day some of you might come here for a romantic dinner, so I planned a little early."
"You really know how to make your customers happy" replied Dana.
"Well, enjoy your meals" the chef then returns to the kitchen. Leaving the couples to enjoy their dinner.
(Royal Woods, Greenwich)
"I can't believe all the restaurants are booked" said Neil.
"And when you mean booked, you mean borrowed for a private party" said Gwen.
"Looks like we'll have to stick to these kinds of restaurants" said Neil.
"Don't hit yourself too hard on this, we can still make it work" replied Gwen.
They also notice that they weren't the only ones there. They do see Lynn Sr and Rita, the Yates couple, Coach Pokawski and Nurse Patty and Mrs. Johnson and Norm the Janitor?
"Looks like we're not the only ones who couldn't get into a fancy restaurant" said Neil.
Then outside they see a Limo drive by and two girls cheering from the Limo's roof with electric guitars.
"Was that Sam and Ember?" asked Gwen.
"Sure look liked it" replied the next table. It was Peter and his Pokemon Ponyta.
"Whoa! What the heck are you doing here?" asked Neil.
"I thought you'd be back home enjoying a night to yourself" said Gwen.
"Well, it felt nice to have some alone time. Then it got boring so I left my home to just have a night for myself in the town. Also some of the restaurants have been booked" replied Peter.
"Damn, talk about karma for us huh?" said Neil. "Damn right, so did Leon tell you where he was takin' his date Dana?" said Peter.
"No he didn't" replied Gwen.
Soon they all have they're dinners in the form of Pizza with some soda, Ponyta got some vegan pizza. Though Neil and Gwen had Chicken with rice and gravy and some spaghetti.
(Western Restaurant Nekoya)
The trio on a dinner date are all chatting amongst themselves and enjoying their food, but soon Hollow and Musa finish their food. Hollow decided to pay for the dinner.
"Well, it's been a blast meeting with you guys here" said Hollow.
"We should get going now, Hollow and I are going for a stroll on the beaches of my home" replied Musa.
"Wait, have you told your dad about each other?" asked Lincoln.
"We did and he's happy I found someone who is kinda my opposite, he was disappointed when Riven left though" replied Musa.
"He also wants to spend some time with me and show me all of the things their home has to offer, but I already was there before. During the whole Tritanus incident" said Hollow.
"Well, see you guys when the next battle begins" replied Leon. "Or during the holidays" said Dana.
"Have a romantic evening to the rest of you" replied Musa. With that Hollow and Musa leave the restaurant.
"So, Lincoln. You ready for Thanksgiving?" asked Leon.
"Sure am, Jordan said her parents are coming along as well" replied Lincoln.
"My parents thought it would be a good idea to bring both our families together" replied Jordan.
"We were also thinking of having the louds be part of it as well, they are sort of family" replied Lincoln.
Then Leon looks to Dana. "You got plans for Thanksgiving?"
"I'd love to join, but my family and I are headed to our grandparents for thanksgiving" replied Dana. "Sorry Leon."
"No, no. it's okay, go be with them for Thanksgiving, family is important. Besides I'm pretty sure we'll be busy with a lot of cooking" said Leon.
"I'm pretty sure grandma Diana will be there" replied Lincoln. "But what about your little sister Sabrina and her aunts?" asked Jordan.
"Hmm, that's one thing I have to discuss with Neil and Sergei. Plus we have our cousin Ambrose from the witch school as well" said Leon.
"Also, I heard from Lori that Luan had a date earlier, was it with Benny?" asked Dana.
"It was, she had an issue with a pimple, but it was all sorted out" replied Lincoln.
"That's growing up for ya" said Jordan.
"What about with Luna and Sam? What are they doing now?" asked Leon.
"Actually Luna is back home, Sam is spending a night out with her dad's girlfriend Ember" replied Lincoln.
"Oooh! Getting to know her new mom, sweet" replied Jordan.
"I'm sure they're both having a blast. Concerts, dance clubs, concerts, banger n' mosh, concerts and star gazing" replied Dana.
They were amazed at how she guessed it. "Wow! You know them that well huh?" said Leon.
"It was just a guess, I didn't really mean it could happen" replied Dana.
"It might though" said Jordan.
Soon they all finish their dinners and pay for the meals. At the same time they see the Red Dragon come in with an empty pot ready to order beef stew.
"So, you are the other heroes the guardian talked about, it is an honor to meet you all" said Red.
"Yeah and you're the dragon who marks this place as her turf" replied Leon.
She then looks to Leon and Lincoln. "I have heard of the one called Deathwing and that he is now in the body of the man that you share blood with."
"Yup, that's my brother for ya" replied Leon. "I don't really share his family blood, I'm adopted" replied Lincoln.
"So I've heard, so what are you all doing here at this hour?" asked Red.
"Romantic date" they all replied. Red smiled. "Humans are always in their ways when it comes to love and passion."
Soon they say they're farewells to the chef and his staff and Red and take their leave.
"Well, I'm gonna take Jordan home" replied Lincoln. "You guys drive safe now" said Jordan. The two kids drive off back to Royal Woods.
"So, you wanna go for a stroll on the way to your place maybe? I mean it is a long walk, from here to Royal Woods" asked Leon.
Dana placed a kiss on his cheek and held onto his left arm. "Nothing would make me happier."
Leon smiled and they both went for the long stroll. "If you get tired we can race each other, Aswang vs ice."
Dana giggles. "Please don't ruin the moment Leo."
"So, we're giving each other nicknames now?" asked Leon teasingly.
Dana blushes. "Forget I said that."
The two of them chuckle a bit as they walk underneath the beautiful full moon, unknown to them that the last autumn leaf has fallen.
(FutureTech HQ)
Victor and Jack Cyber are looking at the screen. "So, she's trying to change for the better?" asked Victor.
On the screen are the multiple replied from their new associate Sombra. "I'm afraid so, seems she was never interested in being an agent of Talon" replied Martin.
"So, what is she after?" asked Jack Cyber.
"She wants to know who hacked her and what this person is. She wants our aid and wishes to aid us, she's been giving me reports about what's been happening in her world, including some identities of people who have remained in the dark and tons of secrets" replied Martin.
"She seems desperate to make friends with us. How on earth does she know who we are?" said Victor.
"That is something I can't even figure out, but we will have to discuss this some other time. XJ-9 will be here tomorrow for her upgrades, I suggest we prepare" replied Martin.
"We have all of the schematics from Nora Wakeman and all the things we need to make Jenny into the teenage robot she wants to be" replied Victor.
"I can't believe she liked me. Thank goodness she understands my complex standards and future intentions" replied Jack Cyber.
Then they hear the doors open and see Penny come out. "Okay, Penny is here so let's-" Martin is shocked at what he sees. Penny changed herself.
Her hair is now significantly longer and more rounded at the tips and she now wears a black bow with pink accents. The ahoge remains and is more prominent.
She is wearing a Victorian-era dress. The abdominal region is black with four golden buttons, the upper blouse remains silver, but the vertical lining now extends well down the collar. Her collar piece does away with the green accents and is instead finished with a black ribbon and a power button at its center.
She is now wearing black fleece gloves with circular golden accents at the knuckles. Her footwear are now jet powered boots, with green lines on her stockings now illuminating when she uses her flight capabilities.
"Greetings everyone!" said Penny.
They all look at her with shocked expressions, Victor drops his coffee which hits Jack's foot making him flinch from the pain.
"What did you do to yourself?" asked Martin.
"Well, I thought I could use an upgrade. This seemed right since I am growing up" replied Penny. "You're not mad are you?"
Martin smiled and approaches her. "Why would I be mad? You just upgraded yourself! I couldn't be any more proud of you! This is a major look and I knew I should've added flight to your systems."
Penny smiles and hugs Martin. "I wish my real creator was here, he would be proud of me."
Martin returns the hug. "Penny, I'm sure he will be. We just have to wait for when it is time to return to your world."
They soon break the hug. "I know, we just need to be patient. Then I can help my friends, though I don't know what they will think with Pyrrha being alive and all."
Martin smiles. "That's my girl."
"So, let's get this place ready for Jenny when she arrives. I was also thinking of adding some energy swords to her" said Penny as she heads to the main screen and puts up all of her ideas.
Martin, Victor and Jack Cyber were amazed, she has gone from a teenage Huntress android, a hero of the realms and now she's acting as if she is a genius within their ranks.
Some part of Martin think to himself. 'I may not have found love or have someone to pass this empire to, but maybe one day. Penny will become next to the FutureTech's throne. Kelly Weaver would be proud of that.'
To be continued …..
I would like to thank Czar Joseph for the idea of Penny being upgraded and some of the words for it from our daily PM's. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
