Spells and Louds
Chapter 526: Just another jolly X-Mas Dinner.
(December 25. The Loud House.)
As the snow falls once again, the home of those remaining with the last name, Louds are busy with te preparations for this one night they are going to have, that they have never had since last year. A Christmas for the former siblings of their family.
Lynn Sr had finished making food. "There, not much since we know the others would come with a truck load of food."
Rita then checks all the decorations one last time. "Alright, so the tree is looking nice. We also have the presents ready for gift exchange and of course we also have food and everyone dressed and ready for tonight's Christmas dinner. This is gonna be the first time ever for us."
Lori walks into the living room and is talking to her boyfriend Bobby. "I do hope you and you're family have a nice Christmas this year, without me being around."
Bobby: It's alright babe, besides, this year I get to celebrate it with my dad since he left and I should say that because it brings back some unwelcoming memories. Well, I should practice my song for tonight and also see what the heck Carl is doing to the piñata.
Luan and Lynn help bring down the gifts they have ready for tonight's exchange. "Dang. We sure got some heavy duty gifts, and way too much to even ask what's inside" said Lynn.
"I guess this Christmas gift exchange is gonna be one heavy weighted one!" said Luan. Lynn Sr laughs at that one. "Normally I'd do the 12 puns of Christmas, but I think not this year. This year, I'd stick to random puns and being all merry and such."
Lisa then goes to her gift. "Good not damaged, the one I plan to give this to will be overjoyed when they open it."
"They're all gonna love it and I know my special person is gonna love what I have for him" said Lola.
The rest of their Pokémon come down and all look forward to this merry moment once more. Then they see Tyrogue come back in with Lynn Jr. "Hey guys, no sign of them yet. But the Guardian guy is up on the roof for some reason, or it could be some random raven up there."
They all continue to work on the things to make the house look nice. Lucy looks to the clock. "Sigh, we're closing in for five-thirty guys. We should hurry up and…." They hear a knock on the door. "And they're here now."
Lana goes over and she opens the door. "Hey guys, glad you could all make it. Their guests have arrived. Roll call!
Lincoln, Luna, Leni, Linka, Lily, Sunset, Duchess, Timmy, Neil, Gwen, Michelle Lewis, Sabrina, Leon, Dana and her parents, Sergei, Loona, Felicia, Fenrir, Jordan, Coop and her parents, Peter, Ember, Adagio, Aria, Sonata, Sam, Simon, Aggie, Kick and of course, Courage and the pets, Ajax, Washington, Victoria and they're kids George, Eugenie, Sam, Suzie and Meadows are with them, as well as their Pokémon.
Where is Poof? Celebrating with his parents, Cosmo and Wanda for this night, they're all cool with it.
What about the parents of Neil and Gwen. Having a fun Christmas dinner at the retirement home, alongside, Albert and Myrtle.
Lana looks to the group. "Wow! That's a lot of folks, come in guys!"
They all come in and Leon, Sergei, Michelle, Dana's mom and dad and Peter have trays of food. "So, where's the kitchen?" asked Michelle.
Lynn Sr goes towards them. "Follow me guys, this way." They then go to the dining room to set up the food. "Wow! That is one big chicken."
"No kidding, we had to travel to San Antonio for this big guy!" said Leon.
"All worth it, though we thought Peter would make one" said Sergei.
Everyone else goes over and greets each other, the kids have all brought some gifts with them to exchange with those they have chosen from the hat days ago. (Which was never written, but whatever's.)
Lori then stands next to Sabrina and both of them watch as all of them enjoy interacting with each other. "So, you're not getting involved with this?"
Sabrina chuckles. "No thanks Lori, I'm good with what I got and the one thing I'll always have or get is the family I see now and that's all that matters tonight. You looking forward for whoever gets the gift you have for them?"
"Sure am" replied Lori. Leni and the rest of the teens go over and enjoy some teen gossip, while Lincoln sees Lynn and sits next to her.
"You okay there LJ?"
Lynn nods. "Yeah, I mean. I thought we wouldn't be spending much of the holidays this year, but now we are and it kinda feels like, old times. You know?"
Lincoln smirks. "Yeah, sure has changed for so long as our family is apart. But even if we are feeling not so close, even with me and Luna being a family of our own." Lincoln pulls Lynn close to him. "We'll always be family, always. Even if we're not related by blood anymore, we'll always be there together. Like old times."
Lynn smiles. "To be honest, I thought you'd still be upset over what happened with the life we all have now."
Lincoln chuckles. "Lynn, that's the past ad right now I wanna look forward to whatever future we have, and we're all gonna have ties that bind us together, always. No matter how far we stray away in the future, we'll always have each other. Always."
"Kiddo's right dudes." Luna sits next to them and they talk about the things they have done lately.
After some common chatter, they exchange gifts, but they don't open their gifts until the following day which will be Christmas. Linka is impressed with the special cookies they left for Santa.
Lana and Lola thought, why give Santa some milk and cookies, when he can just have a gingerbread house with gingerbread cookies within.
Neil sees this and smiles and so does Rita and Gwen. "So, how're the others doing?" asked Rita.
"The guys at FutureTech are enjoying what they got with the Pingrey's and Millers" said Neil. "And everyone else is just enjoying what they all have in store for this year of merry dinner."
"Jack Cyber might not be back in a while, last I heard he's gonna be staying at where Bobbie and her family is for the next three days" said Gwen.
Rita smirks. "Things really have gotten into the better and not for worse for this merry moment, but what about the demon family from Loona?"
"Don't worry about Rita." Loona stands next to them. "Blitzo, Moxx and Mills are gonna be celebrating this Krampus Day at the Hotel, so we're not gonna have some oddball stuff with them here."
"Well, I hope they have a nice….. Wait, what the heck is a Krampus Day?" asked Rita.
Then Lucy appears and startles some of them. "Did you say Krampus?"
Luan chuckles. "Looks like you guys got the Christmas jitters, we don't wanna be tinseling all over when Lucy comes a stalking and not a sleighing."
Sergei arrives. "I don't know what I should say about that pun." He looks to the others. "Everyone, dinner is ready. Also, we have wine which is for the adults only."
They all go into the dining room and see that the table has been expanded and they look to Leon who has a FutureTech dimensional rift bag. "Thank you FutureTech and this bag of way too much tech. Now, let's eat everybody!"
They take their seats and begin to get ready, but then Lynn Sr speaks. "Everyone, I just wanna say how happy we are to be hosting this year's Christmas dinner, and the second time we're having it with such a big family. Things have changed and many of us have seen some very unsettling and hard times, but we all seem to know how to get by them and find a way to celebrate together, as a family."
Neil claps. "Amen to that man, amen!"
Sergei then starts the prayer, which they are all grateful that this moment together has been made and is making them feel like a big family, but to the louds it was like old times with Leni, Luna, Lincoln and Lily there.
Soon, they all begin to eat and talk about some stuff, like how the Casagrandes are doing with their Christmas. Then Neil recalls something. "Guys, isn't it gonna be Wander and Lord Dominator's wedding on the 26th?"
This makes them stop eating and realize. "Oh, oh dear."
Leon then recalls. "Who the heck is in charge of marrying the two?"
"Hollow is" said Linka. "Which means he might be involved with whoever else is gonna tag along for Wander's bachelor party."
"And be glad none of us are involved in it. Who knows what he has in store when he wants a bachelor party" said Sergei. The very thought and idea makes Neil, Leon and Peter cringe and flinch at the thought.
"I don't know what you guys are worried about, Wander and Lord Dominator are gonna get married soon" said Leni.
Then Coop recalls. "Isn't her real name Deandra?"
"And if they are getting married, where is it gonna be?" asked Timmy.
"Chances the whole thing will be in the dimension where they came from and the galaxy where they met and started their romantic adventure" said Simon.
"A lot of folks in that world are gonna be mind blown when it does come" said Aggie.
"Who the heck is the bridesmaid?" asked Lola.
Neil chuckles. "And the adventure continues once more."
(Nighttime.)
the midnight hour is closing in and everyone in town is fast asleep, and someone gets out of the chimney to the loud house and he walks towards his sleigh, who is it? The Guardian of Wonder, North.
He slowly walks to his sled and he checks his list. "And this place is done and the last on my list too." He then chuckles. "I know you're there old friend."
The raven morphs into Gyro. "Things went well I see, and the other realms?"
"The one with the only two loud names are done with, and the same goes for the Royal Woods who have less of an adventurous and more trouble related issue world" said North. "I have managed to finish all three dimensions from across their earths and done with the one in mine. Best record time too."
Gyro smirks. "After tonight and what you have been through, I think you need one heck of a rest my good man."
North chuckles. "Indeed I do, farewell old friend and may we meet again, next year." He hops onto his sled and chuckles and laughs as it takes off at full speed and with a dimensional snowball he throws it and goes back to his world, and to his home in the North Pole.
Gyro smirks and looks to the moon and the snow slowly falling on the ground. 'This is just the second Christmas for this world and what it has been through, but more are to come and we must be ready.'
He then jumps off the roof and he morphs into his raven form and flies back to his world, in Azeroth.
While everyone sleeps peacefully, and are soon to wake up when the morning comes for one heck of a presenting surprise.
