Chapter 51
3 Days have passed and the Louds are now back at their house, and boy have they had it good for their 3 day getaway.
As we know from the last chapter. Termites have infested their home and they had to stay someplace while the exterminator fumigates their house.
Some of them stayed with Pop-pop at Sunset Canyon and the rest were given a chance to stay at Rosato residence. But not without Lincoln laying down the rules to them.
And now we see Vanzilla making a stop into the driveway. All of the loud family members make their way inside and notice how, the same their house was.
"Wow. Well this place is still the same" said Lynn Jr. "What were you expecting? That they would clean it up?" said Lisa. "The exterminator is only supposed to fumigate the house of any unwanted parasitic insects" said Lisa.
"Well, at least we don't have to worry about any damages to the place" said Lynn Sr. "Okay guys. Let's get our things unpacked into our rooms" said Rita.
They all headed upstairs with their luggage. While the parents went back to their own room to put their things away.
Inside Lincoln and Luna's room. Luna places her axe and its stand back onto the floor. She then opens a large bag that reveals their mini-fridge.
"I can't believe you brought that with us" said Lincoln. "Well, I didn't want the exterminator to raid what we already own" said Luna.
Lincoln then looks to the fourth wall. "While we were away to the places that would allow us. Our parents had the fridge locked up tight, we brought our cash and other valuables with us and we made sure that our most precious valuables, the ones we can't bring. Are locked up safely inside Lisa's bunker. Which reminds me, I should go and tell Lisa to bring them back out of her bunker" said Lincoln.
Lincoln then gets interrupted by his phone ringing. He checks and notices it was Ronnie Anne. 'Huh. It's been a while since she's contacted me' Lincoln said to himself.
Lincoln turns to his roommate. "Luna, I'm gonna be in the backyard. Gotta take this call" said Lincoln. Luna smiled at him. "Go ahead bro. I'll still be busy putting my stuff away and don't worry I'll remind Lisa to bring our valuables out" said Luna.
Lincoln nods and heads out of the room. On his way downstairs he sees his parents talking to Lana in the living room and Lana didn't look a bit happy.
Lincoln knew what that meant and decided to deal with it later. He then arrives to the backyard nad takes the video chat.
Lincoln: Hey there Ronnie Anne.
Ronnie Anne: Sup Lame-o.
Lincoln: How's it going there in the city?
Ronnie Anne: It's going pretty good. Also me, my mom and bobby already talked to the rest of our family into not meddle with you and Jordan. Ever since the last incident they were there.
Lincoln: Yeah. I still remember that. So, what's new with you?
Ronnie Anne: Well, I'm having a heck of a swell time here in the city. I've made some new friends, I get to skate board in places I didn't even know were skateboard legal and I get to eat a hot dog for breakfast.
Lincoln: Wow! Now that's what I call living.
Ronnie Anne: But enough about me. What about you guys?
Lincoln: Well. Let's see, me and my family went to Aloha beach resort for a week and the Rosato's were with us as well. Me and Luna are now roommates. My friendship with Clyde is now at the normal friend level. Liam has a girlfriend now and he's my new Best friend. I won at a computer shop and now I have a new computer …. What else am I missing? Oh yeah! our house got infested by termites so we had to stay away for three days to let it fumigate.
Ronnie Anne: (shocked) Wow! No wonder why Bobby was talking worriedly three days ago. Is everything okay there?
Lincoln: It's okay now. We're back home and the house is pest free.
Ronnie Anne: (confused) So wait, where did you guys stay?
Lincoln: Well, some of us had to stay with our grandfather at Sunset Canyon, but they got onto a cruise ship instead and the rest of us, including myself. We got to stay at the house of my soul mate.
Ronnie Anne: (amazed) Wow! Now that had to be the best three days for you!
Lincoln: Actually being with Jordan for one week at Aloha resort was the best. But I guess being with her for three days was okay too.
Bobby (off-screen) Nini! You're friends are here!
Ronnie Anne: Oops. Gotta go Lame-o, me and my pals are going skateboarding near an abandoned marshmallow warehouse. It's gonna be awesome!
Lincoln: (chuckles) Lucky. Have fun Ronnie Anne.
Ronnie Anne: Later Dude!
Lincoln then ends the call. He decides to call Jordan. Until a swarm of bats fly past him. Lincoln screams and takes cover and all of the bats fly into Lynn and Lucy's room. And then he hears Lynn scream. "Oh come one! Dang it Lucy!" yelled Lynn.
"Wow! That was too close" said Lincoln. all of a sudden he sees El Diablo wrap around his leg. "Well, it's good to see you too little guy" said Lincoln.
The snake climbs up on his body and sits on his hair. "I'll take you to Lana" said Lincoln. he puts his phone back into his pocket and heads back inside with the snake on his head.
Lincoln checks the living room and sees that Lana wasn't there. "Guess her little punishment talk is over" said Lincoln.
He then heads upstairs and sees Lucy and Lynn arguing in their room. 'I'll deal with that later' Lincoln says to himself.
He knocks on the door of the twin's room. "Who is it?" asked Lola on the other side. "Definitely not the pizza delivery man" replied Lincoln with a chuckle.
"Ha, ha. Very funny Lincoln. You can come in" said Lola. Lincoln opens the door and sees Lola place her clothes into her closet with a calm and peaceful demeanor. "You look happy" said Lincoln.
Lola turns to her brother. "Three days on a cruise ship! I got a massage, swim in the pool and enjoy tons of desserts. Mom says I'm not allowed to have a tan, so that's one thing I couldn't enjoy" said Lola.
Lincoln chuckles at her happiness. But then he sees Lana placing her stuff away and looking upset. Lincoln approaches her. He gets El Diablo off his head and places him down next to Lana.
Lana notices her snake and hugs him, then she sees Lincoln. Lana looks down and sighs. "Let me guess. Mom and dad grounded you?" asked Lincoln.
"Until school begins and no dessert for me as well" said Lana. Lincoln sits next to her and rubs her back. "This is the price you have to pay for almost bringing those termites to Jordan's house" said Lincoln.
"I know. I deserve it, what would Lucy say? I dug my own grave and now I have to lie in it" said Lana. "Don't be too hard on yourself Lana" said Lincoln with a smile.
That was all that Lana wanted to see. Lana hugs Lincoln, in which he returns the embrace.
Later Lincoln leaves the twins room and then checks up on the Goth and the Sports Jock. Who are still arguing.
Lincoln then sees Lynn's whistle and blows on it. Getting his two sisters attention. "Does this have something to do with Lucy's bats?" asked Lincoln.
"Finally! Someone who actually noticed!" said Lynn Jr. "I didn't even expect your flying min-vampires to just come swarming in here!" yelled Lynn Jr.
"Well, they need to come back into our home. They live here too" said Lucy. "The only place they need to go back to is either a cave or a grave!" yelled Lynn.
"GASP! You take that back!" said Lucy. "Make me!" yelled Lynn.
Lincoln sighs, then he thinks of something. And finally he gets an idea and heads out of the room to make some calls.
(The next day)
Lincoln sets up some wooden planks onto the lawn and helping him was Lana. "Thanks for bailing me out of my grounding big brother" said Lana.
"No problem. I needed you for this plan anyway. Also once this is all done you still have to take you're grounding again" said Lincoln.
Lana sighs. "I know, but it feels good to do this!" said Lana with some excitement.
"We just have to wait on the others" said Lincoln.
It didn't take long, soon enough Jordan, Liam, Tabby and Stella all arrived with some tools and supplies.
"Okay we're here now handsome" said Jordan. Lincoln approached her and hugged her. Jordan also returns the embrace and they share a small kiss.
"Thanks for coming you guys" said Lincoln. "Well, we didn't want to leave you just hanging mate" said Tabby.
"Yeah. And all my chores back at the farm are done. I could use some more hard work" said Liam.
Liam then notices Lana and approaches her. "You're pig, chickens and ducks are doing fine at the farm. And you might be the godmother to some little yellow bundles of feathery joy" said Liam.
Lana just smiled hearing that. 'My chickens have babies now' she says to her thoughts.
Lincoln then stands in front of all of them. "Alright guys. I asked Haiku to distract Lucy with a graveyard poem time and Polly is helping Lynn get into shape for returning to school sports" said Lincoln.
They all nod in agreement. Lincoln then shows them the blueprint he made last night. "Alright guys, let's make this happen" said Lincoln. "YEAH!" they cheered in response.
The young group start sawing, hammering and pretty much get to work on constructing …. Whatever it is.
Rita and Lynn Sr are making sandwiches for them. But she takes one glimpse outside and is proud to see her son completely over the whole wood thing. Luna also looks out the window and sees her little brother with his friends.
Luna then decides. "What the heck. I'm helping out" said Luna. When she leaves her room she spots Leni coming out of her room as well. "Where are you going Luna?"
"Headed out back. I was thinking about helping out our little bro and his friends" said Luna. "Oh, well I was thinking of doing the same thing too" said Leni. "And because their using wood. I could help out as well."
They both nodded and headed downstairs and into the backyard.
(Hours later)
Lucy and Haiku return from their graveyard poem writing and reading. "That funeral was completely unexpected" said Lucy.
Haiku nodded. "Indeed. I never expected someone to be buried at that time" said Haiku.
"And the name of the person who's dead. Lucy Lining, whoever that person was must've been great" said Lucy.
"I sensed the spirit of the person. Seems more like a liar to me" said Haiku with a less amused tone. Lucy then thought about it. "Maybe your right"
As they both near the Loud House. They spot two girls on roller skates. Lynn Jr and Polly Pain.
"Oh hey guys. Didn't expect you to be home so soon" said Polly. This made Lucy and Lynn confused.
"Wait a minute. You were expecting my spooky sister and her shadowy friend to be here?" asked Lynn to her friend.
"First of all. I take that as a compliment" said Haiku. "Also, it was your brother's idea"
"What?!" said Lynn and Lucy. "Just head to the backyard" said Polly. The two girls head to the backyard with the Goth and the Jock following them.
Upon arriving there they spot Lincoln, Lana, Jordan, Liam, Tabby, Luna and Leni cleaning up all of the tools and left over wood.
"Maybe we can use them for some other big project" said Liam. "I have to admit this was kinda fun. Like building the tree house" said Tabby.
"Gotta agree with you on that one" said Jordan. They then see Lucy and Lynn along with Haiku and Polly.
"Glad you guys could make it. We have a surprise for you two" said Lincoln. Both Loud sisters were still confused as to what Lincoln meant.
They were now standing in front of a large cloth covering a large square structure. "Now if you two remember. Yesterday you both had an argument about Lucy's bats" said Lincoln.
The two girls blushed red with embarrassment. After their little dispute yesterday, Lynn retreated into the living room while Lucy stayed in her coffin.
"And if I can recall from past experience. Neither of you two can sleep without the other" said Lincoln. "So me and my friends and three of our sisters built this for you Lucy." Lincoln removes the cloth and it reveals to be a large shed like structure with some small square openings on the sides.
It was square in shape from top to bottom and there was a teenager seized door. The outside is painted gray. But Lucy looks inside and sees it is completely dark. Only four small holes were on the corner of the ceiling making some light.
Lincoln uses a flashlight and Lucy sees wooden poles at the top of the celling and they were many. The floor was also made of lumber and next to the door was an old rebuilt vacuum cleaner (thank you Lana and Liam) and at the corner is a black pillow with a black wooden roof on top.
"Lincoln. What is this?" asked Lucy. "I'm glad you asked Sis" said Lincoln. He then pulls out a bat whistle that Lisa had made for him.
All of the bats from Lucy and Lynn's room swarm out of the house and into the square openings of the shed. They all fly around inside and then hang upside-down onto the wooden poles.
It was then Lucy realized what this was. "This is …. A Bat sanctuary!" said Lucy with shock. Lincoln placed his hand on her shoulder. "You're bat sanctuary" said Lincoln.
Amongst the bats was fangs who flies down and sits on Lucy's shoulder. "Also that little pillow and roofing in the corner is where you can write your poems in the dark with your bat company" said Lincoln.
Lana then stood next to them. "This place is exactly perfect for bat living conditions. I even installed insulation in the walls so they can stay warm when it snows and cool when it gets too hot" said Lana.
"And even though I'm grounded. Mom and dad decided to let me also clean up the bat poop in here with the vacuum I fixed up" said Lana. "That vacuum was an old broken beat down from my farm" said Liam.
"And the awesome part of Lana's job. Once she cleans up the place she can dump it in the flower garden" said Luna.
"Because thanks to Lisa. She explained that Bat guano or bat poop is great fertilizer." Said Lincoln. "We also decided to let Liam have some as well. Once this place gets cleaned up" said Jordan.
"And I can't wait to see what it can do to my family's fields!" said Liam.
Lucy didn't know what to say. Even Lynn was shocked and relieved. 'Yes! No more early morning bites!' she says to her thoughts.
Lucy looks to her brother with tears flowing from her bangs. She then hugs Lincoln tightly. "Thanks you so much Lincoln!" said Lucy.
They all smiled at the moment as Lincoln hugs her. "It was a team effort Luce" said Lincoln.
"You were the one who planned it all Linky" said Leni. "The blueprints, the calls and the diversions! All you mate" said Tabby.
After the hug Lincoln gets hugged by Lynn. "This was real thoughtful of you bro" said Lynn. Lincoln just smiled. "At least I saved you from losing blood" said Lincoln.
Lynn breaks the hug and chuckles at his remark. Then Lynn Sr comes out with his chef hat on. "Who wants some pie?" said Lynn Sr. "We do!" they all responded and headed inside for some celebratory pie.
I hope this was a good chapter. The idea came to me after watching a documentary about bats and then I realized, where Lucy's bats poop. Also try and figure out who's the lying scumbag in the cemetery who died. And I apologize for not making a chapter on the louds stay at the Rosato's. I wasn't in the mood to make that chapter and I knew it might take too long for me to make. But you might see some small mentioning's about what they did in future chapters. Please leave a review.
