Chapter 47
(Loud House Residence)
The sound of silence is what makes Royal Woods feel so peaceful and now the sound of silence is broken by the sound of really loud music. (Get it?)
In the garage of the loud house. We see Luna on her axe, Tabby on the bass, Lincoln with his hand-me-down guitar, Jordan on the keyboard and Liam on drums.
Pretty much they started off much uncoordinated, but thanks to Luna they were able to get back on track.
After one hour of rock music they decide to take a break. "Now that was intense!" said Jordan as she drinks a bottle of water.
"I'll say, I never knew I could play these drums so well!" said Liam. "With a little bit of practice and you'll be a natural!" replied Tabby.
"Thanks so much for helping us Luna" said Lincoln. "No problemo bro!" said Luna.
"I am curious, whats all this for anyway?" asked Luna. "Well, we were thinking of starting a small band, but we decided to wait until Stella gets back" replied Jordan.
"Cool guys, if you need any more music tips, you know where I am" said Luna. "I'm heading back inside to take a breather, we all deserve a break right now" said Luna as she leaves the garage.
They all drinks their bottled water. "So, what do you guys wanna do now?" asked Lincoln. "Well we could head up to the tree house and read or play some video games" suggested Jordan.
"I could use a breather too" said Tabby. "Same here, my arms are feeling like stiff branches after drumming so hard" said Liam.
"You guys go on ahead, I need to go use the bathroom" said Lincoln. They all nodded and headed up to the tree house.
After using the restroom, Lincoln suddenly hears an argument coming from the twin's room. "Oh no, whats going on this time?" Lincoln said to his thoughts.
Lincoln opens the door of Lana and Lola's room and sees the two of them having a tug-of-war with the jump rope.
"It's my jump rope!" said Lola. "No it's mine!" countered Lana. This goes on for like 3 minutes until Lincoln grabs the jump rope from both of them. "HEY!" they both yell at him.
"What are you two arguing about this time?" asked Lincoln in a serious tone.
"Lana said that this is her jump rope!" said Lola angrily. "It is my jump rope! You took it from me!" replied Lana with anger.
Lincoln looks at the two arguing twin's with annoyance. "Okay that's it! Enough!" yelled Lincoln. The two of them stay silent. "Okay Lana, how do you know this is your jump rope?" asked Lincoln.
"Just look at the color! It's white just like mine!" said Lana. "Mine is white too!" yelled Lola.
"Stop it both of you!" countered Lincoln. He then kneels in front of Lana. "Listen you and Lola both have the same white jump ropes, maybe yours got lost somewhere" said Lincoln.
Lana looks away from him in annoyance. "Pfft! Like I ever lose my stuff" said Lana. When she looks at Lincoln all she can see was his annoyed face.
"Lana there is nothing in here that has ever been found, maybe your animals can tell you where it is" said Lincoln. "I tried and all they said was it was on Lola's side!" replied Lana.
"For the last time it is my jump rope not yours!" yelled Lola. "Stop it!" Lincoln countered.
He then looks at Lana. "How about we go look for it together?" said Lincoln. Lana looks down and sighs. "Fine" said Lana.
"Good, now come on" said Lincoln as he holds Lana's hand and they leave the room, also leaving the jump rope. "Finally" said Lola. She then picks up her jump rope and then continues her tea party.
Lincoln and Lana look through the hallway. "Now, where should we start first?" asked Lincoln.
"Let's try the bathroom, I was fixing the toilet after Lynn bombed it" replied Lana.
Some part of Lincoln wanted to hurl so badly from hearing that, but he sucked it up. "Okay, that's gross, but let's go" said Lincoln.
The two of them enter the bathroom and start searching around the place. Lana searched into the toilet, then she went to search in the garbage can. Lincoln checked the sink and then looked in the bath tub.
"I've got nothing" said Lana. "Same here" replied Lincoln. "Though I did find some gum in the trash bin" said Lana as she chews it making a bubble.
Lincoln's left eye twitches. "Maybe Lynn has seen it, a jump rope is pretty much an exercising tool" said Lincoln.
"They continued to the room of the Jock and the Goth. They open the door to see Lynn tossing her foot ball into the air while lying down on her bed.
"Hey guys" said Lynn. "Hey Lynn, we were wondering if you've seen Lana's jump rope?" asked Lincoln.
Lynn gets up and looks at them. "Hang on, maybe it's with my other jump rope" said Lynn.
She gets off and looks into her drawers. "What's the color?" asked Lynn. "White with red handlings" said Lana.
Lynn then comes out and looks. "Sorry, it turns out, I left the jump ropes back at my school so me and my team can practice some more, and I don't think yours was in the group" replied Lynn.
"Are you sure?" asked Lana. "I remember I have a green one, red one, blue one and a couple of others, but I don't have a white jump rope" said Lynn.
Lana looks down and sighs. "Let's try the living room" said Lincoln. They both leave the room. "Good luck finding it guys" said Lynn.
They both head down stairs only to see Lori and Leni watching TV. "Hey girls, don't mind us, we're just looking for Lana's jump rope" said Lincoln.
"She lost her jump rope?" asked Leni. Lana nodded in response. "Have you two tried the bathroom?" asked Lori. "Tried, wasn't there" replied Lincoln.
Lori just continues watching TV, until she sees Leni putting her hand inside of the couch. "Leni, what are you doing?" asked Lori.
"I'm helping them look for the jump rope" said Leni, she pulls her hadn out after feeling something. "I think I got something" said Leni.
But what she pulled out was not the jump rope. "Never mind it's just Lola's Tiara" said Leni. She throws it away and starts searching again.
Lori watches as Lincoln searches behind and under the TV's area, Lana is in the chimney and Leni is still couch searching.
Her big sister has to help instincts soon kick in. Lori sighs, she turns off the TV and also helps with the search. "I'll check the desk lamp area" said Lori.
After ten minutes of looking. "Anybody found anything?" asked Lincoln.
"I found two quarters, a pink ribbon and this tiny wooden hat" said Leni.
"Besides Cliff's hair balls, nothing, but we have to deal with Cliff and his habit of hiding what he barfs out" said Lori.
"All I found was Lucy's missing vampire fangs back when she was 6, I should show these to her later" said Lincoln. "What about you Lana?" asked Lincoln as Lana emerges from the chimney.
"I found out where Izzy has been shedding her skin whenever I let her out" said Lana as she's holding the left over skin.
They all look at her with disgust. "Okay that is literally gross!" said Lori. "Totes!" said Leni.
"Let's try the kitchen, that's the last place I was before I went into the bathroom" said Lana. They all nodded and went into the kitchen.
"I'll check the cupboards" said Lori. "I'll check under the table" said Lincoln. "I got under the sink!" said Lana. "I'll check the fridge" said Leni.
They all look at Leni confused. "Maybe you accidently left it there" said Leni. They just sigh at her words and continue to look around.
After another ten minutes of searching. "Still nothing" said Lincoln.
"Same here, but I think I found an expired can of corned beef, I should toss this one out" said Lori.
"Same with this carton of milk, it says it's been there for two thousand years" said Leni. Lincoln looks at her confused and takes the milk carton.
"Leni, this says it expired in the year 2000, but it still has to be thrown out" said Lincoln. 'I've been cleaning that fridge for some time, how could I miss this one' Lincoln says to his thoughts.
Lana then comes out of the trash bin just as Lincoln was about to toss the can and the carton away.
"Anything in there Lana?" asked Lincoln. "Nope, I did find more gum" said Lana. She then blows a bubble that is covered in orange juice.
They look at her with some disgust. "Well, there's one place I barely go too" said Lana. "Where?" asked Lori. "The basement" replied Lana. "It's the perfect place to hide all of the fishing bait, Lola would freak if I hide it in our room" said Lana.
"What about outside?" asked Leni. "I don't think so, all I've been doing out there was rolling in mud and catching grasshoppers for my pets" said Lana.
"Basement it is then" said Lori. They all proceed to follow her and head into the basement.
"Where do you think the jump rope could be Lana?" asked Lincoln. Lana looks around. "I'll check by the boiler, you guys can go check everywhere else, but be careful! Lucy tends to hide here sometimes and when she comes out of nowhere, the basement gets spooky with her presence" said Lana.
They all nodded and proceeded to search. But after what was nearly ten minutes, nothing.
Lincoln didn't want to see Lana upset or start another argument with Lola. Just then Lincoln sees a brown rope used for tying knots and next to it were two wooden clips used for hanging out clothes.
Suddenly Lincoln gets an idea. While they're all busy searching Lincoln grabs the rope and clippers and also spots some glue.
"I've got nothing in the dryer" said Lori. "But I did find a twenty dollar bill" said Lori as she puts the money in her pocket.
"I only found a pen, pencil and some crumpled up paper" said Leni. "I think those belonged to Lucy, which means she was down here" said Lori.
"I couldn't find anything either" said Lana as she looks down in sadness. Leni puts her hadn on her head. "It's okay, we'll find your jump rope Lana" said Leni.
"Thanks guys" replied Lana. Lori turns to see Lincoln tinkering with something. "What are you doing?" asked Lori. This also got the attention of Lana and Leni.
Lincoln then gets up and puts his hands behind his back and walks towards Lana.
"I know we haven't found your jump rope yet, so I decided to make you one" said Lincoln as he shows Lana the jump rope he made.
Lana looks in awe at the jump rope and takes it. "Whoa! This looks cool" said Lana.
"But it looks like a rope glues with two laundry clippers" said Leni. "That's what makes it so cool!" said Lana.
"Wow, a homemade jump rope, good thinking Lincoln" said Lori.
"It's worth to make this little grease monkey happy and to stop her from arguing with Lola" replied Lincoln.
Lana then hugs Lincoln tightly. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you big brother!" said Lana with joy.
Lincoln smiles and proceeds to return the hug. Lori and Leni decide to take a picture of the moment. "Tots cute!" said Leni.
"Sorry we couldn't find your jump rope Lana" said Lincoln. "Are you kidding?! This is way cooler and it helps me figure out which one is mine" said Lana.
"Thanks you guys for trying to help me" said Lana. "Couldn't just let you down" replied Lori.
The four of them leave the basement and head back upstairs.
Lori and Leni return to watching TV, Lana heads back to her room with Lola, Lincoln heads into Lynn and Lucy's room and places the missing vampire teeth on Lucy's coffin, afterwards he heads to the backyard and into the tree house.
"Sorry I'm late you guys, Lana needed help with something" said Lincoln. "We're just glad you made it Lincoln" said Liam.
"Come on handsome! Let's see you beat me at racing" said Jordan. "It's on beautiful!" replied Lincoln as he grabs a controller.
But you're all wondering "Where is Lana's jump rope?" Well let's take a look at Lisa's surveillance camera from yesterday.
Lana has just finished capturing a couple of grasshoppers, she then heads back inside with the jar of grasshoppers, while her jump rope is sitting on the ground.
All of a sudden, Lola enters the backyard on her pink car. She continues driving around with her shades on. Her car then drives over the jump rope, it gets tangled in the wheel.
Lola then gets angry and hits the gas so hard that the jump rope flies right off and into Mr. Grouse's yard. Lola then races way too fast and drives straight into the front yard and slams into the tree. "Are you kidding me!" yelled Lola.
Mr. Grouse comes out of his house and looks around. He spots the jump rope and picks it up. He looks to the loud back yard. "My Yard my property!" Grouse yell, then he heads back inside.
Back to the present. Mr. Grouse is in his living room. "Now to see if I still got it" said Mr. Grouse.
As he tries to jump from the jump rope, he gets tangled up and falls. "And I don't still got it" said Mr. Grouse in annoyance.
This whole thing came to me in a dream. But the idea of a band was inspired by RawToonage Press. Please leave a review and tell me what you all think.
