Chapter 45
(Loud House Residence, Friday Night)
Lincoln is in the tree house checking on everything in their snacks inventory. "Let's see Potato chips in ten different flavors, Soda's also in ten different flavors, chocolate bars, dad's brownies and a lot of Mac and Cheese bites that I saved since last week" said Lincoln.
Lincoln then looks towards the fourth wall. "You're all probably wondering, why are there many snacks in the Tree House? Well, tonight I'm having a sleep over and my friends are coming over, well some of my friends, Zach, Clyde and Rusty are still not back until school starts, so the ones coming for the sleepover are Jordan, Liam, Tabby, Haiku and my sister Luna" said Lincoln. "Stella is still at the Aloha Beach Resort, it doesn't feel the same without all of the aces" said Lincoln.
Suddenly Lincoln checks his watch. "Time for me to get changed and get my sleeping bag" said Lincoln. He then descends from the Tree House and then heads inside.
As Lincoln heads to the room he shares with Luna. He sees Lori and Leni also getting ready with some stuff that teenagers like. "Oh Yeah, Lori and Leni are also having a sleep over with their friends Carol, Dana, Becky, Whitney, Teri, Mandee, Jackie and the new teen in Royal Woods, Beatrix" said Lincoln.
The bathroom opens and he sees Lori already dressed for the sleep over. "You're looking prepped for tonight" said Lincoln. "You know it bro, you ready for your sleepover?" asked Lori.
"Sure am sis, can't wait for my friends to get here" replied Lincoln. "And having Luna part of it sounds a bit odd" said Lori. "Just gonna need some supervision and company" said Lincoln. "And I have a special person who's gonna be part of it as well" said Lincoln.
"Well, have fun then Lincoln" said Lori. She then heads inside her shared room with Leni. Lincoln heads to his shared room with Luna. Inside he sees Luna with her sleeping bag and she's already changed into her purple shirt, but she is also wearing purple pajama pants.
"Hey little bro, you feeling stoked with your first sleep over at the tree house?" asked Luna. "You know it and thanks for joining in" said Lincoln.
"I just thought you could use some company is all" said Luna. "You sure it's not because you might get lonely without a rockin' roommate?" asked Lincoln teasingly.
Luna laughs a little bit "Okay, you might be right on that one" said Luna. "I'll be placing my sleeping bag into the tree house, is it cool if I bring my headset?" said Luna. "Sure, I know you can't sleep without em" replied Lincoln.
Lincoln then gets his sleeping bag and changes into his pajamas. Suddenly he hears multiple car horns blaring. Lincoln runs to the living room and looks outside. "Awesome! They're here!" said Lincoln.
The doorbell rings and Lincoln opens it to see.
Jordan, wearing yellow pajamas with some blue flowers on them, they look similar to Lincoln's sleeping attire.
Liam wearing a white sleeveless shirt and his signature shorts.
Tabby wearing a pink sleeveless top with a sign that says "Rock and Roll" on it and purple shorts.
Haiku is wearing a violet sleeping gown with some black linings on them, she's still wearing her fingerless gloves though.
"Hey Lincoln, we're all set for this here sleep over!" said Liam. "This is gonna be awesome mates!" said Tabby.
"This isn't the first time I spent one night next to my handsome white haired knight" said Jordan. "Be warned I sleep like a corpse" said Haiku.
They all stop and look at her confused. "It means I'm not that easy to wake up" said Haiku.
"So, is Luna already at the Tree House?" asked Tabby. "She's already there, but before we go, we're missing one more person" said Lincoln.
"Who? Stella?" asked Liam. "She's still at the Aloha Beach resort" said Jordan. "Oh right" said Liam.
"Just head to the tree house, I'll be right back" said Lincoln. They all look at each other then head to the backyard.
Lincoln heads upstairs and knocks onto the door of Lucy and Lynn's room. "Come in" said Lynn from the other side.
Lincoln opens the door and he sees LJ, on her bed tossing a football into the air. "Sup bro" said Lynn. "Hey Lynn, have you seen Lucy?" asked Lincoln.
"Have you tried the vents, the attic, the vents, the basement, the vents, the chimney, the vents of under the porch, or the vents" replied Lynn.
"Guess I'll check the vents first" said Lincoln. He then sees the open vent in the bathroom and crawls inside.
"Lucy? Lucy? You in here?" Lincoln called out. Suddenly he hears some light sighing sounds. He follows the sound and sees her writing a poem.
"Hey Luce" said Lincoln. Lucy gets startled by his sudden presence. "And I thought my first meeting with Rocky was startling" said Lucy. "Is there anything you need Lincoln?" asked Lucy.
"Yes there is, do you wanna be part of our sleep over?" asked Lincoln. Lucy drops her pencil and stares at him with shock.
"You mean with your friends?" said Lucy. Lincoln nods.
"Outside?" said Lucy. Lincoln nods.
"In the ….. Tree House?" said Lucy. "Pretty much" replied Lincoln.
Lucy then smiles (sort of) "This is …. Wow …. Okay then!" said Lucy. "Just let me get changed, also can I bring my coffin?" asked Lucy.
Lincoln looks at her confused a bit. "Sorry Luce, but I don't think your sleeping place will fit through the door" said Lincoln. "But you can bring some of your pillows if you want" said Lincoln.
"Sight, okay then" replied Lucy as she crawls out through the other vent. Lincoln then crawls out of the vent he was coming from, but what he doesn't know he was about to head to the bathroom and someone was already there.
Luan is flossing her teeth with Mr. Coconuts next to the mirror. All of a sudden she hears a sound from the vents. Luan turns around and gets a bit curious. "Hey toots I'm pretty sure it's just Cliff" said Mr. Coconuts.
They both walk towards the open vent. 'Please be Lucy, Please be Lucy' Luan said to her thoughts.
Then Lincoln's head pops out. "Finally out!" said Lincoln. This causes her to stumble backwards and fall onto the floor.
Lincoln gets out of the vent and helps her up. "Sorry, didn't know you were here" said Lincoln.
"I expected more from only just Lucy" said Luan. "But you were more heart stopping!" said Mr. Coconuts. "Hahahaha! Get it?" said Luan and Mr. Coconuts.
"Not really, I gotta go know" said Lincoln. "Oh come on, I'm not being all jumpy now, am i!" said Mr. Coconuts.
Lincoln then grabs his sleeping bag and heads downstairs, until he hears a knock on the door.
Lincoln opens it to see Lori's guests, still in their normal attire and among them was Beatrix. "Hey Lincoln" said Carol.
"Hey girls, Lori and Leni are upstairs" said Lincoln. They all head upstairs towards Lori and Leni's room. "Good to see some new company in Lori and Leni's friends group" said Lincoln to Beatrix.
"It actually feels good to be just normal and not with the all rounded thing" said Beatrix. They both laugh a little bit.
"Well, I better head to my sleep over" said Lincoln. "Same here" said Beatrix.
Lincoln finally arrives at the Tree House. "Hey guys, man-with-the-plan is here" said Lincoln. "Goof to have you here bro" said Lincoln.
"We were worried you weren't gonna come" said Tabby. "You're here now buddy" said Liam. "I was gonna send a search party if you never came back" said Jordan.
Haiku then looks at Lincoln confused. "You have company with you" said Haiku.
"Yes I do and I think she deserves to be part of this Tree house as well, guys Lucy" said Lincoln.
But they don't see her. Haiku then waves "Hi Lucy" said Haiku.
"Hello everyone" said Lucy out of nowhere. The others get startled by this. "We're not telling scary stories and we're already getting spooked" said Tabby.
"It's good to be here guys' aid Lucy. "So, she's gonna be joining us then" said Liam. "It's nice to have some more company" said Jordan. "The more the merrier mates" said Tabby.
"Glad to have you here spooky sis" said Luna. "Good evening Lucy" said Haiku.
Lucy then hugs Lincoln. Lincoln smiles and hugs her back. "Thanks for letting me be part of this" said Lucy. "No problem and thank you for not bringing your coffin here" replied Lincoln.
"I did bring my tombstone shaped pillows, they help me sleep when my coffin is damaged" said Lucy.
They all look at her tombstone shaped pillows and each one had memorial words on them. "Now that is dark" said Tabby. "Wicked" said Haiku.
"Alright guys, let's get this slumber party started" said Lincoln. They all nodded and cheered with him. (Well some of them)
Lori and the others were doing well with their sleep over. They tell each other secrets, paint their nails, mud masks and prank call some of the boys (mostly Joey and Chaz), even Beatrix goes with it.
But with Lincoln and his friends they start it off by dancing to some music (well some of them) and Luna brought with her, her axe.
After their night of music, they were all feeling a bit exhausted. "I don't know about you fellas, but I am feeling a bit hungry" said Liam. "Same here" said Tabby.
Lincoln then opens the snack storage and hands them each a plastic box and inside them were six mac and cheese bites.
"Whoa! Your left overs! Are you sure bro?" asked Luna. "I'm sure, I've been saving them for this kind of occasion" said Lincoln.
Then he hands Lucy and Haiku a ketchup bottle. "To make your mac and cheese bites more bloody" said Lincoln. "You know how Goths work" said Lucy. "Indeed" said Haiku.
They all enjoy their snack time and even eat some chocolate as well. "This chocolate is nice, but I can't get the taste of them mac and cheese bites off of my tongue" said Liam with joy.
"Your dad knows how to make them taste so good" said Jordan. "Thanks guys" said Lincoln.
"So, now that our bellies are full, how about we tell some scary stories" said Tabby as she points the flashlight towards her face.
"Guess that sounds like a rad idea" said Luna. "Let me begin! I saw this one on a website called creepy pasta" said Jordan. She then tells them the tale of Jeff the Killer.
Afterwards Liam tells them a dark tale about the scare crow that haunted his uncle's fields! "But it turns out it was just my grandpa whenever he came back from a cider drinking contest" said Liam.
They all look at him and sigh in relief. "That was almost too scary" said Jordan. "Alright mates, my turn" said Tabby.
Tabby told them about the haunted train station in England called the Cemetery station. To Lucy and Haiku it sounded more like a fairy tale dream come true.
Luna proceeded to tell them the scary tale of a headless musician which she heard from chunk and finally Lincoln tells them the scary tale of a story he found online. The story of Lo Llorona!
To many of them, it was scary. Even Lucy felt a bit frightened from hearing it. Luna then sees that the time was now past ten. "Well little dudes, guess it's time for all of us to catch some Z's" said Luna.
"I am feeling mighty bushed" said Liam. "Let's not get any nightmares from what we all just said" said Tabby.
"Where did you learn of that story?" asked Jordan. "Oh, Ronnie Anne told me about this website with spooky tales, though the idea came her new friend, I can't remember the girls name though" said Lincoln.
They all proceeded to get some sleep as Luna turns off the lights and they all head to the second floor of the tree house. Liam was snoozing close to Tabby and they were both sleeping in a sprawled out lazy position.
Luna put on her headphones and fell asleep immediately.
Jordan cuddled close to Lincoln and he proceeded to cuddle next to her as well.
Haiku is sleeping with her arms crossed on her chest. (Talk about a burial, but why is there a rose in her hand?)
Lucy is the spookiest of them all, but she wasn't getting any sleep. Lucy kept turning in her pile of grave stone pillows.
Lucy then sits right up, then she hears a noise and looks out the window to see a large female figure wearing a blanket.
Lucy then whispers in fear "L-La Llorona!" Lucy then backs up and sits next to Lincoln.
This startles him awake. Lincoln looks up to see a shaken Lucy. "Luce, you okay?" asked Lincoln quietly.
Lucy then hugs Lincoln in fear. "S-She's outside!" said Lucy. Lincoln gets curious as to what she means.
"Whos outside?" asked Lincoln. "La Llorona!" said Lucy as she continues to hug her big brother.
Lincoln then gets up and looks out the window with Lucy and they see nothing. "I saw her right there!" said Lucy.
Lincoln sighs. "You're scared I get it, you're mind must've been playing tricks with you" said Lincoln.
"Are you sure?" asked Lucy. "Luce, let me ask you, do you sense any strange dark ghostly presence here?" asked Lincoln.
Lucy then looks around. "N-No, I don't" said Lucy.
"Well, that rests my case, the story must've made you a bit scared" said Lincoln. "You wanna lay down next to me and Jordan so you won't get sacred and image the ghost here?" asked Lincoln.
Lucy blushes then nods. "Yes please" said Lucy.
Lincoln then lays down and proceeds to hug his sleeping girlfriend, while Lucy sleeps on the other side and hugs Lincoln from behind. Lincoln smiles at this. "Good night little sis" said Lincoln. And soon they were all fast asleep.
Now you all are probably wondering was that really the ghost of La Llorona outside in the loud family backyard.
Well in truth, it was not her. Rewind!
Lori and Leni are busy chatting with their friends. "And then Bobby said that there was a large rat in the bodega's basement, but it turns out it was just a Chinchilla" said Lori.
"That's a kind of rat right?" asked Leni. "A Chinchilla is a part of the rodent family, but their mostly pets" replied Beatrix.
"Oh! You mean like our pet hamster Geo" said Leni. All of a sudden they all hear scratching sounds form the door.
Lori opens it to see Charles looking at her upset. Lori knows what this meant. "Alright boy, let's get going" said Lori. But she grabs a blanket first since it will be cold out.
"I'll be back girls, just have to help Charles outside" said Lori as she heads out to the backyard.
Lori stands in the backyard with a blanket covering her while watching Charles looking for a place to poop.
Suddenly Lori sees Lucy looking out of the Tree House Window 'So she's the special guest Lincoln was talking about' Lori said to her thoughts.
Lori was about to wave to her until Lucy immediately retreats back inside. 'That was weird' Lori says to herself.
Suddenly she sees Charles standing in front of her. "Oh I guess you're done, come on Charles let's head back inside" said Lori as she returns back to her slumber party.
