Chapter 934.
"A music store with Fidelity."

(September 1. Great Lakes City. Ziggy's Records and More.)

We arrive to the store, which is called Ziggy's Records and More, and the Blue Pickup truck of Sam Sharp stops in front, and then parks. Sam then comes out, followed by Lincoln Loud, Luna Loud and Jordan Rosato, and of course Valkyrie and Patriot are with them as well.

"Well, here we are, Ziggy's Records and More, the one place in Great Lakes City with the best of the best in vintage musical stuff, and at the moment the dude who owns the place named Ziggy is at Royal Woods, and going after the vintage Mick Swagger stuff." Sam then looks to Luna. "So, ready to see what Parr and bobby are doing?"

Luna nods. "Got it, and glad Ziggy called us to come and act as backup, because even though he is good pals with Bobby and Parr, he can tell that those two are gonna be like the newbie and hyped up kind of..." They then open the door and go inside and what they see surprises them, Bobby and Parr are trying to stop Becky from playing on the drums. "Oh boy."

Lincoln sighs. "We got this." Lincoln then goes over, and he takes away her drum sticks.

"Hey!" but then Becky sees Lincoln Loud, and Jordan Rosato. "Oh, ummm... I was just about to leave, yeah." She then takes her leave, and then out the door.

Jordan then looks towards Bobby and Parr. "So, hard time trying to stop costumers from handling this place?"

Bobby sighs. "Yeah..." But then he realizes what he said. "I mean, nope. We were fine, and in fact we were going to do the same thing that you did, and act all authoritarian and..."

"Cut the crud, Roberto" replied Sam sharp, and she doesn't seem pleased. "Dudes, we know that you guys are running this place, to make sure it doesn't turn loose or fall out of control, especially when it comes to customers who are a bit too much with the merchandise of this place. Vintage is old, but a classic and everyone loves the vintage stick, and how popular and big bucks it can be."

Parr is confused. "Wait, what the heck are you guys doing here? Come to buy something from the place?"

Luna Loud then explains. "Ziggy told us that he has something else to do, and it involves the vintage Mick Swagger album, and I don't think I got the mood for that stick anymore. I mean, Metallica and AC/DC is something I would gun for. He also sent us as backup."

"Back up? For what?" asked Bobby.

"You guys" replied Lincoln, and Patriot flies to the register, and he watches over the area. "Ziggy kinda figured that something would go wrong, and apparently it seems like the guy was right, and so we're here to help out when you guys cannot handle the customers."

Bobby chuckles. "Okay, okay. Very funny guys..." they then see that Luna has the backup keys to the place. "Oh, Nevermind. But still, Parr and I got this. We know how to run this business."

"That was in the Mercado and delivery, this is a music store filled with expensive vintage stuff from the musical history since the dawn of the early 1900's" replied Jordan. "And a business like this can be fun sure, but know that if something goes wrong in any way, then you need to be prepared to try and sort out the issue, and also we know you two re doing this for an employee discount to purchase something from the place, am I right?"

Parr and Bobby are surprised to hear this, and then Bobby speaks. "Look guys, thanks and all for coming, but we got this. You can go home and we can..."

"Alrighty then." Sam grabs her phone. "Let's see if we can ask what Ziggy thinks..."

"Wait, you have Ziggy's number?!" said Parr in panic.

"Yeah, and same here" replied Luna. "He's a good musically inclined dude. We met him several times at a lot of music conventions in Royal Woods. We've known him when Sam and I started our band together."

That they didn't know, and they question why Ziggy never mentioned this to them, then Parr speaks. "Alright, alright. You guys can stay." Sam then puts her phone away. "So you can see how awesome we are at what we do best!" He then high fives with bobby.

Lincoln, Luna, Jordan and Sam can see, that this is gonna be a very long day, and thankfully they don't have any plans.

(Later.)

More customers come into the place, and Bobby and Parr are at the cash register, and they see Lincoln and Jordan are on their cellphones, and going through some messages and notifications, but they notice Luna is organizing the albums, and putting them in alphabetical order and she goes through a list of things that have been sold days ago.

Sam is speaking to a customer and she informs her of the classical music's, and what sounds nice and what sounds a little bit better, and then Bobby looks to Parr. "Parr, I came to realize that Luna and sam might be better at this than we are."

Parr is confused. "Because they are musically talented and have a band?"

"No dude." Bobby then explains. "Luna Loud and Sam Sharp have been talented with music for a long, long time and they know their stuff. They have performed, rocked out and went on tour, and they have a lot more knowledge on musical, vintage and other stuff than we do, also Luna and Sam once took part-time jobs to run the three best music stores in Royal Woods, and were dubbed employees of the month."

Parr is surprised. "Dude, Bobby. What the heck? How the heck are they better than..." Luna then goes over with a keyboard in hand, and a customer following her, and she opens the register and she places in the cash, she then hands the keyboard to the customer.

"Here you go dude, and take her easy when jamming out. A keyboard like that could still need some work one day, and then she can sound smooth and crystal." the man nods and he takes his leave, and then Luna looks to Bobby and Parr and she asks. "So, when you guys started running the joint, did you sell anything?"

Bobby and Parr remain silent, and this makes sense to Luna, and so she walks away and this has both Bobby and Parr concerned. "We have to try and be the best employees here, well temporary employees, for Ziggy and the discount. We can keep an eye on things, and make a good sell."

Parr nods. "Got it dude!" They then see someone checking on the vinyl's, and it is Laird, and so Parr speaks to him. "Are you interested in something?"

"No, just here to see if you got something with soothing tunes, something classic. I am having some... I mean, my nana needs this because she has trouble sleeping." Laird then smiles nervously, hoping that Parr won't see through his lie.

Parr then has an idea. "Here, try this." He then hands him a vinyl, but Laird is confused.

"The mating sound of whales from the 90's?"

This makes Parr realize what he handed, but then Sam hands him a vinyl. "Here, this one is classical lullabies and soothing tunes, from the early 50's to late 60's." she then whispers. "You'll be sleeping peacefully and having sweet dreams, in no time, and FYI: Ronnie Anne told me that you have had this issue, stop drinking soda before bed."

Laird is surprised that Sam Sharp knows, and so he follows her to make the purchase, and this upsets Bobby and Parr, and then Bobby has an idea. "I got this!" He then sees Miranda, choosing from the many jackets. "Having a hard time to pick, try this vintage leather black jacket, and it will make you look so cool, that guys will love ya!"

Miranda is confused. "Bobby, I have a boyfriend."

This makes bobby realize, then Luna intervenes. "Dude, she is here to get something for her boyfriend, she told me earlier and I told her to go and check the vintage section since her boyfriend is a fan of Japanese Rockstars." bobby sees, that below the jackets are vintage songs, from Japanese rockstars, and so Miranda picks one, and she follows Luna to the register.

Bobby and Parr sigh, and then go back to their post, and they watch as Luna and Sam have managed to make some more sales. "Dude, this is just... What are we doing wrong?" asked Parr.

Bobby then has an idea. "Maybe we should just not do anything ad just watch over things, and then we could still get our employee discount. I mean, we don't stand a chance to the fact Luna and Sam are better at this, and apparently so are Lincoln and Jordan."

They see Lincoln helping someone pick out some rock n' roll music's that would go great for a kid who wants to start a love for rock music, and Jordan is helping with some information to someone about Gene Simmons, and the band known as the Carpenters. Parr sighs. "Dude, you're right..." Parr then leans onto this small bust of slash, but the bust moves aside, and they see the button. "Huh?"

Bobby then pushes it, and behind them the wall opens, and everyone else sees this, and they all see the vintage electric guitars, and they all go wide eyed and have stars, and so do Bobby and Parr. Luna, Lincoln, Jordan and Sam are wide eyed. "Oh boy."

Luna and Sam then intervene and keep everyone from touching them. "Everyone back off! We can't let ya try these, Ziggy's permission only!"

Lincoln then notices. "Why is one missing?"

Jordan reads the label. "Says here, Ziggy's first guitar." She then realizes. "Oh, yeah of course, an air guitar, which is not even... where are the other axes?" they see four guitars are missing, and then everyone sees Bobby and Parr on stage, and they are wearing some of the merchandise, and rocking on the four guitars, and everyone cheers seeing this, and this makes Lincoln, Luna, Sam and Jordan not like this. Then Luna gets a call.

"Yeah. Okay. Alright, hang on..." she then goes to the stage, and grabs the microphone. "Guys, behold the voice of the big dude." she places her phone near the microphone and everyone hears Ziggy's voice.

"Bobby, Parr. I can tell that you guys kinda went all out on the stuff, after seeing the guitars." This shocks Parr and Bobby. "I am coming back, and I got what I needed, guys we need to talk."

Parr and Bobby drop the guitars, and Lincoln and Jordan catch them before they hit, and they place them back, and everyone else disperses and goes back to what they were doing, while some leave to not get involved in this. Parr and Bobby then take off the merchandise they are wearing, and they try to put them back.

Sam pushes the button and the guitars gate is closed. "There, and..." She then sees something, and she goes wide eyed. "Bobby, what size are you?"

Bobby then sees the jacket he put away, and it has a tear in the back. "Oh, boy." the others see this, and they know one thing... Ziggy is not gonna like this.

To be continued in the next chapter.

A/N: Based on the Casagrandes episode called "Ay Fidelity" but with some major changes, and some personal and professional musical help, from the most musically inclined Loud, but the aftermath of this is next chapter. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter guys.
