Spells and Louds.

Chapter 543: Hello, Hope.

( Spellman Estate.)

The Great Gate opens and walking out is Neil, his day at Ever After is done and he's now home. He then sees Gyro at the Great Gate waiting. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Just needed to wait for you to come here so I can use this thing, I don't wanna have to accidently run into you and we both end up in the wrong places" said Gyro. He then walks through the portal and the Great Gate closes.

Neil is confused by this. "What the hell was that all about?" He then walks back to the house at the other side of the road, but he does see something headed to the house as well. "Huh, they're back."

Arriving to the front of the house are Lincoln, Linka and Jordan, and with them is Hope Pertland. "Hi dad, we brought a friend over" said Linka.

Neil smirks. "I can see that, and I recall what Lincoln and Linka told me. Welcome to Spellman Estate, Hope."

They get off their rides and Hope looks around. "Wow. This place rarely gets seen on TV, and this is just dang amazing. Nice gate too. That where you guys take all the business of world warping and stuff?"

"Pretty much" replied Jordan. "Now come on, we got a lot to do when hanging out here."

"Wait, where are the others?" asked Hope.

"Currently, not here yet" said Neil. They then see some cars driving towards them. "Or, they're already here."

The three vehicles arrive and stop and coming out are Luna, Leni and Sunset. "Hey guys."

Lincoln goes over and hugs Luna and she hugs him back. "Glad to see you too, Lincoln." She then sees the new girl. "And this must be the new girl."

"Yup, this is Hope Pertland, the new girl in town" said Linka. "Well, she's the new rich girl in town."

"And it's such an honor to meet you all, and dang you guys are so awesome up close." Hope then looks to Leni and has stars in her eyes. "Oh gosh! Leni, I have heard about you and seen you on your social media page and I am a fan of the fashion skills you have."

Leni chuckles. "Thanks, I do have fans, but I never thought one of them would come here. Nice to meet you Hope." She pets the girls head and this makes Hope smile, which is the mind of smile Lincoln has seen from Clyde when he sees Lori.

Neil then looks around. "Where the heck is Timmy?"

"Timmy said he'll be home soon, he's hanging out with Coop, Kick and Gunther" replied Linka. "And don't worry, Flat Tire is with them to make sure they don't do anything troublesome or something that gets them hurt."

Neil sighs in relief. "Thanks goodness, I just hope they don't do the same fireworks stunt off the ramp again."

Sunset then has a message. "I need to go inside and do a chat with my friends from Canterlot High, later guys." She walks into the house with Sylveon and the others also follow.

Hope looks inside the house and is amazed. "Wow. This place is as big as my mansion in town, and the pictures on the wall!" She sees pictures of all the Spellman's, let them be from the past to the adopted ones now. "This place is so cool!"

Sunset heads up the stairs and towards her room. Neil then looks around. "Huh, where the heck are Gwen, Lily and Michelle, along with Courage and Gothitelle."

HARV then replies to them. " Sir, Gwen, Michelle, Lily, Courage and Gothitelle have went into town to let Lily spend some time at the park, and also discuss with Katherine Mulligan about something, Lily is already done for the day with daycare."

"Thanks for the intel Harv." Neil looks to the kids. "Well, I will go and make cookies." He then walks into the kitchen.

They all go to the living room and take a seat. Hope then sees the little ones from Washington and Victoria go towards her. "Hi there little guys, I heard about these little buddies from last year when they were born."

Leni chuckles. "Yup, they're the little ones of the family's pet crew, and we're happy they've grownup so far from when they came to our lives, and ever since Washington and Victoria became part of the family."

Washington and Victoria are seen asleep on the pet bed near the couch.

"So, Hope, what's the deal with your 'rents being in town?" asked Luna.

Hope then takes a moment to speak. "Oh well, where do I even begin?" She then begins to tell them all she is and what has been happening in her life, and surely the rest of us know from chapter 537.

( Later.)

All of them are now in the backyard, but Leni and Luna are back in their rooms to deal with some stuff from school.

"Still kind upset with not having Gretchen in town?" asked Jordan as she pets Dominic.

Hope sighs and she scratches the chin of Absol and Arcanine. "A little bit, but I know I can manage and be able to enjoy this awesome life with you guys, as my friends and I am so happy to be part of the group. I also can't wait for my first ever Middle School prom, it is gonna be so awesome!"

Linka smiles. "Yeah, same here. We're all gonna be part of it, and sooner or later, one of us is gonna be crowned middle school prom king and queen."

Hope smirks. "Chances it's gonna be the Jordacoln thing here, huh?"

Lincoln chuckles. "Whoa! Whoa! Slow down there Pertland, I honestly don't care about that title. Since Jordan and I have our own titles that we hold dear and make us who we are."

"Right, right. The dodge ball king and queen thing, which I have yet to see" replied Hope. "I mean, we did not have any dodge ball last week."

"That's because the gym was undergoing some renovations, but fear not because you will get to see it this week for sure" said Jordan. She then high fives with Lincoln.

Linka then whispers to Hope. " Yeah, best not wanna be on the opposing side. Be part of the team they're on and you might just live."

Hope was a bit unsure about that one, then Lincoln asks. "Hope, the way you looked to Leni, was something going on there?"

Hope then nearly chokes on her soda and she calms down. "What? What do you m-mean?"

Linka also sees this and so does Jordan. "Hope, what the heck is going on?" asked Linka.

Jordan looks at the nervousness from Hope. "This kinda looks like a Clyde thing." It then hit all of them. "Hope, are you crushing over Leni?"

Hope turns brought red. "I…. I'm sorry. I just….. And I didn't…… I'm so sorry guys, let me explain."

"Explain then" said Linka. They all wanna know what her deal is.

Hope sighs. "Okay, so the thing is, I kinda heard about Leni before she was a Spellman. I saw her online blogs about fashion design and saw how awesome she was and also, how pretty she was and that was the time when I was 11 and still in the 6th grade. She was so skilled and so awesome and pretty and the way she spoke was elegant and…… She's so thoughtful, but it did get awkward when she would have the whole blog interrupted."

Lincoln recalls that one, because there is never any privacy in the loud house.

"But then I heard about the whole bad luck thing, and what happened to the whole family and Leni as well and it got me so worried, I was so close to asking my mom and dad to come to town and fix this. But then I decided not to get involved and wait for the news, and then I heard about it. The whole ordeal of the Spellman family, and I was so relieved when Leni became part of a new family and wanted to change for the better."

"Leni is such an awesome role model and knows how to say words that can comfort and change the thoughts and perspectives of those who have done wrong, sure with that rich mean girl Leslie saw that one, but Gretchen was also amazed when she heard everything and we started the fan club of Leni Ivy."

"Then I saw the news about Leni having powers and being a superhero alongside you guys and….. She was so gorgeous, skilled, wicked cool, awesome and so amazing and…." Hope sees them all looking to her with smug grins. "Sorry, she's so hot and awesome, and she still had the kind heart to help others and see her family safe and alive."

Linka chuckles. "Take it easy there Hope, do you recall that Leni is not single anymore?"

Hope nods. "Yeah, I know. Her gender bent version from where Linka came from and how Leni is the legal guardian towards Linka, because you two have an eye for fashion and I respect that, and I'm happy for Leni to find love. Someone who understands her and has changed from his ways."

Hope then recalls. "Leni is just…… She so awesome and amazing and I just……. She's such an awesome role model, and even though I do tech stuff, I also try to have an eye for fashion and it's working, sorta."

"That's sweet of you to say." They all see Leni walk out of the mansion and then sit next to Hope. The girl is blushing red. "I heard everything, and it's really nice of you to say. Thank you, Hope."

Hope blushes. "Umm, hi. I…. I just."

"Hope." Leni then places her hand onto the girls' shoulder. "You're a nice girl too, and I appreciate that, I really do and I am honored you see me that way, and I am so happy you respect the relationship I have with Loni. You're a good person, and I am happy to be the one to be the role model to give you some clarity to whatever future you want, let it be with tech stuff or fashion."

Leni then kisses the girls' forehead. "We can good friends, and if you wanna be a good eye in fashion, the either come and see me at work, or hang around with Linka."

Linka nods. "Yeah, she taught me some of her ways, and Loni helped out and maybe you can hang out with Loni too and learn from him as well."

Hope smiles hearing this. "Wow. Thanks. I…. I don't know what else to say." Hope then hugs Leni and she hugs her back. They can see the red blush of nervousness is gone, which means her crush is faded and she's found some clarity to have friends, even if they are older than her.

Linka smiles to know one thing. ' Looks like Hope has a big sister role model, good for her.'

They then depart from the hug. "Okay, now we should begin to talk about other stuff, like what's the Pokèmon choice for you, Hope?"

Hope chuckles. "Wow, that one is kinda tough. I mean, I haven't even thought of one and there are so many cute puppy-looking Pokèmon and getting to know them is gonna be tough for me."

"Then we'll help you" replied Lincoln. "We can help you find one that is the right partner and companion for you. We have found ours, and a lot of Leni's friends from High School too, we know that you can find an awesome and true bond with a Pokèmon soon enough, you're part of Royal Woods now and we all look out for each other."

Hope smiles hearing this. "Well, I don't think I have any plans on Friday, how about then?"

They all smile and nod. "Sure, Hope. We can help you find a Pokèmon partner after school on Friday" said Linka.

Jordan then has an idea. "And I know just the large camping grounds to help us with that." This makes Lincoln and Linka smile, they know what she means and sure as heck Simon, and Stella would wanna go back there too, and the rest of their friends.

Hope is confused. "What's going on? What are you guys talking about?"

But as they continue to talk, they are unaware of a mysterious thing watching them, what is this thing? Well, it looks like a rag doll, and it looks like Linka, but the side effect to this is…… It has buttons for eyes and smiles at the sight of the white-haired gender bent twin of Lincoln.

But through the eyes, a being from another world looks at them and smiles. The being has one hand, since she lost the other one to the girl she tried to take. She snickers at the girl and thinks.

' She's still deeply saddened with the old life of her long gone family, and could use some company and a friend. I think I may have found my new daughter.'

Another thing about this being, she's tall, spider-like and has buttons for eyes!

To be continued…..

A/N: Hope revealed a secret she has had for a long time and has made good friends with Leni, and soon to have her Pokèmon. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.

Anyone know what this being is? I mean, we have seen the stop-motion film, based off of a book and was downright creepy.
