Spells and Louds.
Chapter 430: Unexpected school trouble.
(Royal Woods Middle School.)
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan arrive to the school, Lincoln parks his Vulture Bike and Jordan hops off of Dominic and he goes over to sit underneath the tree with their Pokemon.
"Okay, so we made the cut for the Middle School Talent show and all we need to do now is pick which song we should perform for the whole event" said Lincoln. "So, which is it? Terran up the Night or Put me back together?"
Linka and Jordan think about this. "We're gonna have to need to think about this further. Pick the song where it's about our friends from the Terran Dominion or a song based off from Sunset and her Five Night's at Freddy's requests?"
Jordan then hands them a paper. "I did come up with a song last night, I thought it was best to show it to you guys."
Lincoln and Linka look to the note and the song she made last night. "Ender Wish?" Lincoln looks to his girlfriend. "Does this have something to do with Minecraft?"
"Yeah, kinda does. I just thought it would be cool to perform this song and I know the beat and how each of us sing it and the instruments for the song, and I have some other songs I kinda made too" replied Jordan nervously.
Lincoln chuckles and looks to her in a love daze. 'She's hot when she goes aggro, but she's cute when she's nervous.' He then hands her the note. "Let's go inside and see how well we can perform this and let's hope we can have the place to ourselves or ask Darrel to give us some privacy."
"I think we can make that happen." They see they're club leader Darrel Sikes. "I know you guys need to perform for the songs for the big shindig for this month, also Richie and Rusty will be busy again with the bike club and our other club members will be busy as well, so you guys can have the music club room all to yourselves."
This makes Lincoln, Linka and Jordan smile. "Thanks Darrel." Darrel nods and he goes into the middle school, but he does get hugged by a Faunus girl who has cat ears. Looks like he has a girlfriend who is also a member of the music club from last year.
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan then head into the school. "So, what are the other songs you had in mind?" asked Linka.
Jordan then has her notebook. "Okay so here they are: Ender Wish, Begin Again, Wings of Salvation, Level Up, Fallen Kingdom, Take back the Night, Find the Pieces and Dragon Hearted."
They are shocked at how many songs Rosato made in one night. "Okay, let's see how well they sound and then we can figure out which song we should perform for the big event" said Lincoln.
Then Linka has an idea. "Hey. Maybe when we do pick the song of our performance, we can make the other ones for when we go to the music studio back home and see how other people like it."
This makes Jordan happy. "Wow. That does sound kinda awesome, sure we can make that happen!" They then continue to walk into the school and down the hall and they meet up with their friends.
But they have no clue a very familiar boy who made it to Middle School looks to them in anger. 'Stupid Spellman, stupid romance with Jordan. Why can't it be me with Rosato?! Why did he have to be the one with her? Just because he was in that stupid suit and now she's with him?! This should be me, not him!' His name? Andrew Hopkins, the boy from the "Girl Guru" incident.
He then walks down the halls, avoiding the Faunus kids who wanna talk to him and avoiding everyone else as he comes up with a plan to confront Lincoln Spellman.
Meanwhile Lincoln and the others are busy talking to each other, then he sees Sam's little brother Simon signal him from around the corner and so he goes to him. "What's up Simon?"
Simon sighs. "Can you help me try to come up with some way to talk to Stella?"
Lincoln is not shocked by this. "Okay, this sounds like something Clyde and I dealt with when he was trying to find a way to talk to Chloe Curda. Did you ask Stella to hang out with you?"
Simon nods. "We hang out this Friday after school at Gus' and then we take a nice stroll and we talk about some things and I tell her how I feel."
Lincoln smiles. "I see you have that covered, but you don't need to be nervous or worried Simon. That'll make things worse and become an enemy that won't leave. Just be brave, be yourself and tell Stella how you feel, things won't be so hard and from what Luna and Leni told me from Sam, Stella might like you too."
Sam sighs. "Yeah, might like me. I don't know how Stella would feel about me and who I was before. I'm not even supposed to be 12 right now. I'm supposed to be older than her and be in High School by now and it could get awkward." Simon looks down with fear.
Lincoln can see what Sam meant about Simon dealing with change around him and to himself. Lincoln places a hand on his shoulder. "Simon, things aren't as it should be for you, that part is true. But accept things around you and adapt, I know you can do that man."
"Also, for the time you have been here, does Stella look uncomfortable with you around and that story of how you got here?"
Simon recalls that all of Lincoln's friends and everyone else were okay with him. "No, they were fine with it. From what I heard, they said it was like when Aggie came into this world when she's also supposed to be long gone."
"See? That's your answer right there Simon. Stella is okay with who you are now and what should be if things were different, so things will be okay when you hang out with you this Friday" said Lincoln. "Show her a nice one-on-one hang out time and then see if you two wanna start dating and see this relationship through, this is her choice as well."
Simon feels confident and smiles. "Yeah, yeah you're right. Thanks man, this really helps. You're a good friend Linc."
"Anytime Simon." Both boys fist bump each other and they go back to the group.
As they all talk, Simon waves to Stella and blushes, Stella blushes and waves back to him. Jordan notices this and she looks to Lincoln who stands next to her.
They then hear the bell ring and all of them head to their classes. "So, Simon knows what to do with Stella?" asked Jordan to Lincoln.
Lincoln smirks. "He's got this. All he needed was a pep talk and some confidence, I can see something sparking between him and Stella. Something our other friends told us about, and I hope we can hang out with them soon."
Jordan then has an idea. "You know, your uncle Sergei did say he was going to help the other Lincoln with his tactical wrestling training and I think it's a good idea to hang out with them and also help them out. What do you say?"
Lincoln smiles. "I think that's an awesome idea." He then kisses her cheek, which makes Jordan giggle.
Then Linka catches up to them. "Hey guys, what did I miss? I was helping Sadie with a spider in her locker, Mollie was close to going aggro on it. What are you two talking about?"
(Later in the day.)
At the cafeteria, everyone is talking about the Middle School Talent show and how it could go down for them, Lincoln, Jordan and Linka are with their friends and chatting about how it'll work for them, but they won't tell them about the songs they're gonna perform.
All while they talk, Andrew sits by himself and watches them from his table as he eats his burger. 'Just you wait Spellman, I will get Jordan from you and prove I am way better than you'll ever be. So what if you have cool friends and go on awesome adventures? I can do that too, if I wanted to.'
Andrew then sees everything around him, all the change that has happened. 'They should be at least seeing Linc as the one who made this possible, and if they did then they should look up and respect me if it was me doing all that awesome stuff! This cannot go on and I am getting what I want, the love of Jordan Rosato!'
At the table with Lincoln and the others. "So, we're all stoked about next week and what we're gonna do right?" asked Tabby as she eats her muffin.
"We so are!" said Kat. "Trent and I are going to do some romantic performances to show how much our love goes not just to our kisses, but forever." She leans onto his shoulder.
Trent chuckles. "Yeah, I love this gal so much at how much we've had been through to get to this level of love. We already got the song we need, and from Ed Sheeran too."
"Richie and I are so going to be showing how fun and a bit competitive it is when it comes to pianos" said Rusty as he eats his potato chips and hotdog.
"We made sure that what we do is positioned and the piano tunes we perform are that of an old fashioned comedy routine from long ago, like Charlie Chaplin" said Richie.
"Ah yes, the good old man of the silent comedy and also beats the performance of Mimes" said Giggles.
"Giggles and I are gonna do an awesome performance with clowning, comedy and other funny hijinks!" said Zach. "So it's might get wet, sticky, slippery and gassy as it goes!" Zach and Giggles then chuckle, the others didn't quite see that this could be good for any of them, or it could be funny.
"Same with me, Chloe and Emma, though we got a lineup of K-Pop songs to try and see how we can groove to them" said Sadie.
"We even took the advice from Linka and we listened to the song from the band KDA and they are so awesome!" said Chloe. "And we totes dig their attire!"
"We might even make our own and perform some of their dance moves on stage as well" said Emma.
"Whatever happens we know you girls can make it so awesome that everyone might join in" said Clyde. "Also, I should remind all of you that we still have our history test inbound for tomorrow and then we might have a big test on math by Monday too."
"Ugh! Don't remind us man" said Flat Tire. "Classes here seem harder than grade school."
"But we can manage, we just need to listen closely and study hard" replied Liam. "We can make it through two years of Middle School, and then it's off to High School and then our choice of growing into adulthood."
They all look to Liam in shock that he just said that. "What? I'm taking this growing up thing seriously, and sure as heck I wanna see my future though, with my gal here." He pulls Tabby close to him and she kisses his cheek.
"Well, with that being said. We also might get some changes in subjects and also learn some new history" said Aggie.
"She's right, the whole Protoss thing in Royal Woods" replied Artie. "We rarely know about them, and the ones who actually know are them." They all look to Laurence and Allison who are with them in the group table.
"It is true, but the ones who truly know the real deal are the ones who have experienced it" said Allison. They look to Lincoln, Linka and Jordan.
"She's right, you guys have fought through the stars and helped take down Hybrid all around their world in the Koprulu Sector" said Laurence. "You three truly know the truest of history from the valiant and honorable Protoss race and they're culture."
"Well, we do have a plan should the new subject arrive here" said Linka. "We can help tutor you guys, and through that we can truly learn more about our new allies."
"We all know about the history of our Faunus friends, and now knowing about the Protoss is essential. From their beginnings, the eon of Strife, the discovery of the Khala, their conflicts with the conclave and Dark Templar and all the way through the invasion of the Zerg on Aiur and their alliance to unite and reclaim their homeworld and defeating Amon" replied Jordan as she drinks her soda.
They're all shocked at how much she knows it, well Jordan's friends are shocked she knows more about it. "Okay, my mind is so blown right now" said Joy.
"Well, looks like we got ourselves tutors to the new subject" replied Darrel. "Can't wait for this to happen."
"And let's not forget the Purifiers are coming to reside in town as well" said Lincoln. "They may be robots in nature, but they're living beings and have retained who they were back when they were alive and we should treat them with respect and equality."
"I heard and read about them, I hate those Conclave guys and how they treated the robot Protoss like slaves" said Simon. "Sounds like the whole slavery issue back when America had that dang Confederacy dorks."
"Don't remind us, I hate those guys too" replied Clyde in annoyance. "Which is why we should truly treat the incoming robot Protoss with all the respect and equality as we do for each other."
They all nod and agree on that one. "So, what are we planning for tomorrow?" asked Johnny Test.
(Later in the day, Music Club Room.)
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan then setup everything they need for practice and of course Darrel helps them setup. "Okay, so the piano is set and all the amps are tuned and loaded. I guess I'll let you guys be now."
"Thanks for the help man." Lincoln fist bumps with him.
"No prob Linc" replied Darrel. "I know how much music means now to you guys, ever since Luna was the one who showed you how to fully appreciate it and show passion. A shame she won't be going through with her dream."
"She has her reasons and she just sees music as her hobby now, so she hasn't given up on it yet" replied Linka. "Also, are you sure no one else is gonna wanna use this place?"
"Positive, Rusty and Richie have to go and have a meeting with the Cycler's club, Emma is helping with the practice she will have with her friends for their dance and the rest of our members have plans for today with other things, and Frida Suarez said that she's going to practice at Miracle city with the band she's bringing here for the talent show."
Jordan sighs, "Let's hope she doesn't dedicate her performance to someone, otherwise it's gonna be very personal."
Darrel understands. "I know Frida doesn't understand the true situation between Luna and her rock and roll dream, but give it time and she'll see how much her words from before was hurtful. She has her own thing going on, and I know you guys will give her a chance to be a friend."
Lincoln smirks. "You know us that well huh Sikes?"
Darrel chuckles. "You three are not the kind of group to hold onto a grudge, and I know things will go well when things go forth as we all grow up." He then checks his watch. "Well, I should leave you guys be, I'm gonna go and meet up with my gal Charlene." He then walks out of the music club room.
Lincoln looks to Linka and Jordan. "Okay, so let's see how well these songs Jordan made can work." They get to their instruments and they begin to make some music.
(After School.)
Everyone is now in the hallways and they get ready to head on home, Lincoln, Linka and Jordan head out of the music room with their instruments and are talking about which song they chose. "So, we know what to do and we know how it works and we are ready for next week" said Linka.
"We got the song and we got the tunes, now all we need is to rehearse and keep it up till the day comes" replied Jordan.
"Let's hope we don't have any trouble to deal with, otherwise it'll be a delay" said Lincoln.
"You mean like me!" They all turn around and spot Andrew Hopkins looking to them from the halls. "Lincoln Spellman, I have been waiting all day for this moment!"
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan are confused by this. "Andrew? Are you okay? Also, what the heck is with the angry face?" asked Lincoln.
"You did this to me Spellman!" yelled Andrew. Everyone looks to him and are confused by what he said and they look to Lincoln.
"What the heck are you talking abou…" Lincoln then recalls. "Oh, I think this has something to do with the Girl Guru incident from last year, well that was before and I said I was sorry and I paid the price in pies that wreak of salt and vinegar."
"That wasn't enough!" yelled Andrew. "I want the love of Jordan Rosato!"
Everyone gasps at this. They all look to Lincoln and Jordan who are now annoyed. Lincoln is about to speak, but then Jordan speaks for him. "Andrew, even if it didn't happen with the Girl Guru thing, I still don't like you! I've had a crush on Lincoln since kindergarten and we're the first friends to have met long ago. Also, this is getting out of hand and I don't like you."
"Give me a chance Jordan! I can be better than that white-haired idiot! We can be a couple! This could be mine too! Give me a chance and we can make things better!" Andrew goes to his knees and begs.
This shocks and freaks everyone out. "Wow! Someone's obsessed" said Christina. Jenny is recording all of this.
Jordan looks to Andrew in anger. "No. What you're doing, it's just freaky and also kinda perverted. I don't like you that way and I am loyal to the love I have for the boy I know and truly understand, he understands me and we both have much in common when it comes to hard work and dealing with issues and it seems your one of them now. So, stop being like this and back off. You're as worse as Boy Jordan, and I am so glad he no longer lives here in town."
Andrew gets up. "No! Not till you see how good I am and bail on Lincoln and his stupid family!"
Lincoln sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "This is getting ridiculous. Andrew! Stop being like this and just get over it, things are changing and we all have to deal with it. Why can't you?"
"Because I want my love life back and I want you out of the picture! And I hate this new stupid change! We were better off living in our own world!" yelled Andrew. This makes them all gasp, and truly offends the Faunus and angers all the students.
"Mr. Hopkins that is enough!" they all see Principal Ramirez right there and looking stern. "My office, now!"
"What?! No!" Andrew tries to run, but he's pulled from a stasis beam from the new guards of the school, a Protoss Adept. "No! Let me go!"
Principal Ramirez sighs. "Take him to my office." The Adept nods and follows her with the boy in custody. "His parents will wanna hear abou this, and his dad owns a hardware store with a Faunus and Protoss working there."
Andrew struggles, but he can't break free. "This isn't over Spellman! You hear me?! You and I are not done! We will settle this and Jordan will be mine!" He's then taken into the Principal's office.
They all look to the boy with anger for what he said and some of the teens reassure and keep their Faunus friends calm and less angered. But they all now hate that kid.
"So, when he said Spellman, which one of us?" asked Linka.
Lincoln sighs. "Dad is not gonna like this and neither will sienna Khan and the Guardian, or Mayor Davis."
"And what about Artanis?" asked Jordan. They knew this was bad, someone hates this equality between humans and new allied races.
To be continued…..
A/N: This seems closely similar to the one from "A Sparking Relationship" and let's hope there won't be any more trouble for them as time goes on and we are also making our way to the Royal Woods Middle School Talent Show, which is similar and in par with my other story. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
