Spells and Louds
Chapter 280: Gwen's side of the family.
(Spellman Estate, Lincoln and Luna's room.)
Lincoln then looks to all of his siblings, and of course their Pokemon and Courage are there as well, and Duchess was also able to make it.
"Okay, okay. So you all know why we're here right?" said Lincoln.
"Mom's birthday is tomorrow and we all are having a sibling meeting on what we can come up with to give her" said Sunset.
"This so reminds me of when we used to have sibling meetings" said Leni.
"Dang right there sis" said Luna.
"So, does anyone have any gifts ready for mom tomorrow?" asked Linka.
"I got my gift for mom ready dudes" said Luna.
"Same here" replied Duchess.
"Also" said Timmy.
"Mom will so love what we got for her" said Leni.
"I got mines last week as an early start" said sunset.
Lily giggles being held by Duchess.
"So, what did you guys get her?" asked Timmy.
"Linka and I are both pitching in for a special someone to come to her birthday tomorrow" replied Lincoln.
"And she's gonna love it" said Linka.
Then something comes into Leni's mind. "Has mom ever told us about her mom and dad?"
They all remain silent.
"You gotta be kidding me!" said Sunset.
"How come we never heard of our grandparents from our mom's side before?" asked Duchess.
"Perhaps we can do some research on who they are" said Linka.
"That sounds like a good idea" replied Timmy.
Lincoln and Linka put up the holographic screens to see who Gwen's parents are.
"Says here that Gwen's dad passed away, and that her mom is single" said Linka.
"Oh, poor mom. She must've been devastated when she lost him" said Leni.
"What about our grandma on mom's side? What's she like?" asked Duchess.
Linka then puts up the image of who she is. Brown hair, a pink dress with a pink jacket over and pink heels, she seems close looking like Gwen but without the relaxed eyes and gothic dyed hair.
"Her name is Hailey Austin, her age is 59 and she loves her children very much, she works as a teacher in high school, the same high school where mom went to" said Lincoln.
"Wow! She looks nice and what her profile says is kinda nice too" said Sunset.
"I wonder how caring she truly was when mom was young" said Luna.
"Wait, the file said that she loves her children very much. Does mom have any siblings?" asked Duchess.
"Let's find out" Lincoln checks for any more information on who Gwen's siblings are, but they found only one.
"She …. She has a brother" said Linka.
"Whoa! Dudes!" said Luna. "Look at him!"
Brown hair, green t-shirt with a skull on it, jeans and sneakers. Backwards facing baseball cap, his profile picture shows him strumming on his Gibson guitar.
"His name is Steven Ray Austin, he seems to have a close relationship with mom. They both have done a lot of fun things together. His age is 21 years old and he … He has a bond with her sister!" said Lincoln.
"Whoa! How close are they?" asked Sunset.
They see the many things it says on his profile account, he and Gwen have done some small troubles together, some good things together and have had each other' backs since and she was the one to take care of him when he was a baby and helped him into school, Gwen was the Goth and Steven was the musical one, but both were there for each other, no matter what.
Lincoln and Luna smiled at this information they all found. "Wow, and is says that they still keep in touch, he's currently living in … Canada?" said Lincoln.
"Oh, so mom is half Canadian?" asked Leni.
"Says that they're family blood is distant French and also American with a hint of Canadian" replied Linka.
"This is going to be one heck of a time we're all gonna have tomorrow" replied Sunset.
Lincoln then gets an idea. "How about we help them come here, to celebrate mom's birthday with her and get to know our grandma and uncle?"
They all smiled and nodded to this idea. "I know we all have our gifts for mom, but let this be our special gift for her, from all of us together" said Linka.
"But, I think we should tell them too" Lincoln looks to the image of Hailey and Steven Ray Austin.
"Bro's got a point, so where do they both live?" asked Luna.
Lincoln and Linka look into some more information. "Says here that … They both live in the same location. Uncle Steven lives with grandma" said Lincoln.
They all remain silent. "Is there anything else we should know about Uncle Steven?" asked Timmy.
They look more into Steven Ray Austin. "Says here he's a musician for a restaurant and has two more part-time jobs, one as tech support in a cellphone store and another on the weekends as a cashier in a gas station. Looks like he …. Didn't quite have the career he wanted" said Lincoln.
"Poor Uncle, we have to talk to them" said Leni.
"Then let's make contact" said Linka. She pushes the button and they see a computer screen turning on and they see the woman who is they're grandma.
"Hello there, I didn't expect anyone to be active while I was online. My name is Hailey and it's nice to make some new …. Why are you all kids?"
Linka steps up. "H-Hi … Grandma. Gwen, your daughter is our mom, adopted mom."
Hailey gasps. "W-What? You're all …. My grandchildren?!"
They all nodded. "Hi grandma!" said Leni.
Hailey then calls out. "Steven! Get in here now!"
Then they see their uncle arrive. "What is it mom?" He then sees the screen. "Umm, who are you talking to?"
"Hi Uncle Steven" they replied.
Steven is confused by this. "What?"
"Do we have one heck of an explanation to tell you guys" said Sunset.
The proceed to tell them all about who they are and what their daughter/sister has been doing, and all the adventures they have been through.
"Wow! So Gwen wasn't kidding when she tells me this, I thought she was just making a book or something!" said Steven.
Hailey looks to her son. "You knew about this?"
"Sorry mom, but I thought she was trying to make our talking more interesting by telling me some stories she came up with, I didn't know she was serious about having some adopted kids!" said Steven. He then looks to the screen. "I am so sorry for not knowing about you guys, and for not believing Gwen about all of you."
They all smiled. "We understand Uncle Steven, our adventures can be hard to believe in and we know you two don't get much major news in your town" replied Leni.
"Oh, it's so nice to see you all. My grandkids! And you as well Lily!" said Hailey.
Lily giggles. "Gwamma! Gwamma!"
They all awe at this. "She called me Gwamma! Gwen must really love her so much!" said Hailey.
"Mom does her best to teach her and her teaching is working" replied Lincoln.
"And I find it awesome just how close you and Luna are, reminds me of Gwen and myself" replied Steven.
"We have been through so much, and we have had each other's back even when we have our disagreements. But those disagreements are from the past and we're both looking forward to whatever future we have, together" replied Lincoln.
"No matter what happens, I ain't letting my little bro go through his journey alone" replied Luna.
Steven smiles. "Yup, just like Gwen and me."
"But how come you and mom aren't closer as siblings now?" asked Duchess.
Steven sighs. He wondering when they were gonna ask. "Well, when Gwen was finally graduated from high school, I told her that she should go out there and explore the world on her own. She hesitated at first, because she recalls a lot of that stupid game show she joined. The game show I dared her on."
They all gasped. "You're the reason why Gwen was on Total Drama Island?" asked Sunset.
Steven looks down in guilt. "Give me a break kiddos, we were young and reckless and at times we dared each other, but I felt bad that Gwen had to go through all those contract binded season from that psycho Chris."
"So, what happened after you talked to Gwen?" asked Linka.
"Well, she said she wants to stay home so she can help me with my future. But I told her that she should go and make her own future first, and that I can handle things on my own. I look up to her, she's strong, brave, resilient, tough and always at the lead of things. So, we both made a promise to call each other when we have the time, and so she left. To the American state of DC" replied Steven.
"And that's when she met your dad. Neil Spellman" replied Hailey. "The last time we saw Gwen was … At her wedding, she was so beautiful and I had to let her go when we reached the altar."
"I was so proud of Gwen and I hoped maybe I could have the very same future" Steven then looks down. "Or so I thought."
They all felt bad that he's been having it hard. "It's okay Uncle Steven, we're all here for you. We may not be blood, but we're all family now and we have each other's backs" said Leni.
"And we're going to make sure you guys come here, to celebrate mom's birthday!" said Lincoln.
This shocked Hailey and Steven. "What?! Gwen's Birthday?!"
"You guys didn't know?" asked Linka. Courage was shocked by this.
"I was so busy with a parent teacher meetin last week!" said Hailey.
"I was busy with lots of customers in my tech job last week!" said Steven.
"How did we not see this coming?!" they both yelled in panic.
"Oh boy" replied the Spellman kids.
Lincoln then yells. "Hey!" they remain silent. "Sorry about yelling, and thank goodness mom is with dad in the mall. But we can handle this panicking situation later, right now we know that mom's birthday is coming up and we all have to be there for her, all of us her family and you guys."
They all smiled at that plan and speech Lincoln just said.
"Wow! You are the sweetest grandson I have ever had! Ever!" said Hailey.
"Grandma Hailey, we all have our sweet and serious sides, we treat each other as equals and when it comes to family we'll all be there for it. All of us, always" replied Lincoln.
They all were touched by his words. "Though, you're pretty much a leader when we're teaming up" replied Lincoln.
They all agreed to this.
"I guess you really do make up for the name, The Man-with-the-Plan" said Steven. "Well done dude."
"And that's what makes him the best bro I've got!" said Luna.
"Well I think that name you give yourself is adorable" said Hailey.
Lincoln blushes at this. "Thanks, now come tomorrow we'll send you guys some transportation so you two can make it here just in time for mom's birthday and we're all aware that she may have invited over some friends of hers from Total Drama."
"Which includes, Beth, Lindsay, Leshawna, Zoey, Mike, Cameron, Dawn, Sammy, Cody, probably Sierra, B, Sky, Noah, Izzy, Kitty, Emma, Owen, Bridgette, Geoff and TJ" said Linka.
"Gwen knows how to make some nice friends, she didn't make much friends in high school and most of them are Goth's with issues" said Hailey.
"But we had to support this choice. Even though she lost those pals of hers when she came back to school after Total Drama Island" replied Steven.
"Ouch, that must've been way harsh" said Luna.
"It was, but Gwen is tough and she knows she has tons of friends straight from the show and it turns out that the Total Drama Island pads she made, she met them when she was in Pre-school!" said Hailey.
"I'm sorry. What?!" they all said in confusion.
Hailey then tells them that Gwen did meet many of those friends from the show in pre-school long ago. Or in other words, Total Dramarama.
This was something none of them knew about Gwen A. Spellman, aka their mom.
"Wow, mom sure had one heck of a life, and I thought Lisa was gonna have it odd" said Leni.
"Well, now that that's settled we all have our gifts and our big surprised" said Lincoln.
Then something comes into Hailey's thoughts. "What about … Gwen's uncle, aka my brother-in-law?"
"You mean Uncle Austin?" said Steven.
Lincoln and Linka smile. "Taken care of!"
The other Spellman siblings were confused, Gwen has an uncle and for some reason Lincoln and Linka did not let them see his profile, But Sunset was getting a wild guess, but that'll have to wait for tomorrow.
(Hell.)
A raven lands onto the Hazbin hotel and turns into Gyro. He looks upon the chaotic city of hell, he then sighs. "You were waiting for me."
Coming out from behind the sign was the Radio Demon, Alastor. "Indeed I was, and you came,"
"So, what news about the witch I am after?" asked Gyro.
"Same as usual, she resides in the archipelago of the Boiling isle, the small town of Boneborough, though she lives outside of town within the forest to evade the law. Within a place known as the Owl house alongside this little demon-dog known as King, he calls himself that because he says he is the former ruler of the Demon lands and seeks to reclaim his throne and rightful spot as tyrant" replied Alastor.
"Is he a big demon or a small demon?" asked Gyro.
"Dog sized and I hate dogs, but King doesn't seem to be a threat, he's just small and very short tempered at times. Edalyn Clawthorne is currently still on the run, especially from her younger sister Lilith, a witch who is the member of the Emperor's Coven" replied Alastor.
"Is that why Edalyn Clawthorne is wanted by the law?" asked Gyro.
"Yes, and there's more. She's got a heck of a list of many laws she has broken, and because she hasn't joined a Coven, she has access to many forms of magic, making her the most powerful witch in the boiling isles and possibly, the whole of the realms!" replied Alastor.
"Making this all the harder for me to deal with, at least that King demon dog is the only thing she has" replied Gyro.
"Her house is also alive, but not mobile. Just alive and annoying" replied Alastor.
"Thank you Alastor, you are a true and loyal informant to me and I will pay you back" replied Gyro.
"No need my friend, just doing my part to ensure the balance of the realms is in order, but perhaps you may owe me once I attempt my rule over hell. My way" replied Alastor.
"Of course my friend" replied Gyro. They both look to the distance and watch the chaos unfold in this low life city of Hell.
"Alastor!" they look down to see Charlie, Vaggie and Angel Dust looking at them from the bottom level of the hotel.
"What are you doing?!" asked Vaggie.
"And who's the hooded prick?" asked Angel Dust. "He lookin' for a good time?"
Gyro sighs. "I hate your friends."
"Me too, but they mean well." said Alastor.
