Chapter 56
(Loud House)
Lynn Loud Jr finally arrived home from school. Instead of taking Vanzilla back home, she decided to jog her way home. Also because Lori and the others are headed to the mall, and there's a big basketball try outs championship coming and it's the one thing Lynn has never done. For her FLIBBER.
"Woo! That felt good!" said Lynn. Then she spots Lincoln's bike, as well as Jordan's, Clyde's, Rusty's, Zach's, Liam's, Tabby's and Stella's.
"Guess they're here to chill in the tree house" Lynn says to herself. Lynn heads into the house and straight to the kitchen while ignoring Lola and Lana watching TV.
She opens the fridge and grabs a bottle of water and drinks the whole thing. "Woo! Rehydrated!" said Lynn in victory.
Lynn then decided to check on Lincoln and his friends. She heads to the backyard only to see Lincoln and al of his friends just standing there looking at the tree house. This was odd.
Lynn walks towards them and stands next to Lincoln. "Lincoln? You okay?" asked Lynn. But he does not respond.
"Is this some kind of game you guys invented?" asked Lynn. "Because if it is, does it involve scaring you guys?" said Lynn.
But then Lincoln sighs. He uses his hand to make Lynn face the tree house. And that's when she realized what the cause of them looking a little concerned was.
Sitting in the Tree House watch tower. Is a Bald Eagle. Lynn is completely speechless by this. "So, that's whats up" said Lynn in shock.
"Pretty much" replied Clyde. "How long has that been up there?" asked Lynn. "No idea mate, we just got here three minutes before you showed up" said Tabby.
"Okay. Has anyone tried to get it to leave?" asked Lynn. "We have no idea what to do" said Jordan. "That is one big bird" said Zach. "To be clear that's an Eagle" said Stella.
"There's no way either one of us is going up there" said Rusty. "I've seen big chickens but never have I ever seen an eagle up close" said Liam.
Lynn then looks at Lincoln. "Well Mr. Man-with-the-plan, anything?" asked Lynn. But judging by his deadpan look, Lincoln was thinking of what to do.
They all continue to look at the large bird. "Well, we can't just stay here and watch over the thing. You guys should take your Tree House back!" said Lynn.
The others looked at Lynn in confusion. "Seriously! You want us, eleven year old kids to go toe-to-toe with an eagle?" said Stella.
"Come on! We can do this!" said Lynn. "What do you mean we?" asked Jordan. "Me of course! I'm gonna help you guys, plus this would make a great story for my team" said Lynn. "Of course she'd say that" said Rusty.
"Alright, all I have to do is get up there and show that oversized turkey whose boss!" said Lynn.
Jordan then handed Lynn the key to the tree house. Lynn heads to the structure and opens the door. She then tosses the key back to Jordan.
"Alright bird brain! Let's do this!" yelled Lynn as she heads to the tower. "She was finally at the watch tower, but the scary part was that the eagle was looking at her. Almost like it knew she was coming.
Lynn was startled a bit by this, but she sucked it up. "Ha! You don't scare me! Lucy is way scarier than you!" said Lynn.
She then charges at the bird.
At the bottom, they just watch as Lynn is being beaten up by America's Eagle.
After a few minutes, Lynn comes down from the tree house and crawls her way back to the others. "D-Did I win?" said Lynn.
She was now a mess. She has a few scratches on her body and face, her hair is a mess, her clothes were almost torn apart and her right sneaker is missing.
"Well, you survived" said Jordan. Then the backdoor opens and Lola and Lana come out. "Time for a little drive" said Lola. "Mud pit here I …. Come?" Lana just looks up at the tree house.
Lola turns around to see them look at an injured Lynn, then she redirects her eyes to the tree house and spots the eagle.
Lola walks towards them and stands next to Lana. "Umm. What the heck is that?" asked Lola. "And what happened to her?" asked Lana as she's pointing at an injured Lynn.
"I'm gonna go get the first aid kit" said Lincoln as he heads to the kitchen. "Long story short. Came here to hang out. Eagle on the tree house. Lynn tries to get rid of it and now here we are" said Jordan.
"So she got beaten up by a bird?" said Lola and Lana. They all nodded in response.
Lincoln comes back with the first aid kit. With Jordan's help they drag Lynn and make her lean on the wall of the house and patch up her injuries.
"This ain't nothing! I once dislocated my leg during soccer!" said Lynn in a daze. "Yeah and you screamed in agonizing pain after that" said Lincoln as he bandages her arms.
"Maybe Lana's pets can attack it" said Lola. "Umm I only have El Diablo, Izzy and Hops. And I'm pretty sure that eagle is gonna see them as lunch" said Lana.
"Would that be so wrong?" asked Lola. Lana becomes enraged at what she just said "Why you little!" and the twins start fighting again.
Liam and Tabby soon break up the fight and separate the twins. Just then Lisa comes out looking annoyed.
"Could all of you please keep your volume to a minimum?! I'm trying to get my work done and-". Lisa stops talking and sees the large bird.
"Might I ask why a Haliaeetus Leucocephalus is perching on your tree house?" said Lisa as she straightens her glasses.
The others just look at Lisa confused. "Bald Eagle!" said Lisa. "We don't know either. But Lynn got beat by it and the twins are arguing again" said Stella. Lisa was a bit confused by all of this.
"Strange for a sea bird to be here in Royal Woods" said Lisa. Then Lincoln has an idea "Hey Lisa. do you have a device that could scare away an eagle?" asked Lincoln.
"Though that would sound like a very good idea. But sadly I do not possess nor have I invented such a device, but I will think of making one soon" said Lisa. "Maybe we can have the pets scare it off" said Lola.
"To be precise, our animal companions would not fair enough to go face to face with an Eagle. And because of their small size, they would most likely become its next meal" said Lisa.
"Not for him!" said Clyde as he points to Waltz who flies to the eagle. Waltz sits next to the eagle and tries to communicate. But gets no response. Instead the eagle knocks Waltz off the tree house tower.
Feeling upset and ticked off. Waltz circles the eagles head. But then Waltz stops and sees the Shotgun glare the eagle was giving him. So in true bird fashion, Waltz retreats into his bird house.
"Well. That went well" said Rusty. "We gotta do something or we're never getting our tree house back" said Stella.
"Whats going on?" said Lucy out of nowhere. Everyone backs away after she appears. Lucy looks up and sees the bald eagle. "Sigh, if only it were a vulture. Then it would be wicked" said Lucy.
But then she realized something. Lucy made her way to the bat shed. Inside she starts counting each bat (how is she counting them in the dark?). She then comes out "None of my bats are missing" said Lucy.
Just then they all hear Vanzilla arrive. At the front yard. Leni and Lori exit vanzilla. "You guys are gonna love what Lincoln and his friends just made" said Leni.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a Tree House" said Miguel. "My cousin made one when I was very little, but he never let me inside it" said Fiona. With them were Jackie and Mandee.
"It has been a while since we hang out with your little brother" said Carol. "The last time we did was at the Aloha beach resort" said Dana. "Wonder what he's up to now" said Becky.
They then see the bikes in the front yard. "Looks like he's got some friends with him" said Lori. They all make their way to the backyard and are shocked at the sight in front of them.
Lori and Leni rush towards Lynn who was now bandaged up but still unconscious. "Oh my gosh! What happened to her?" asked Leni. "She literally looks like what happened after her soft ball game last year" said Lori.
But they don't notice their teenage friends looking up in shock. Lori and Leni turn around to see their stunned faces. Then they look and spot the large eagle sitting in the tree house watch tower.
"That's a pretty big bird" said Leni. "Correction second eldest sibling. That is a Bald Eagle" said Lisa.
"Oh the poor thing! Must be hard not having hair" said Leni with worry. Everyone looks at her with disbelief. "What?" said Leni.
"Leni. That's the bird's species name. It's not really bald" said Jackie. "Actually it's named because its head is the only one that isn't brown" said Miguel. They all at him confused.
"What? I saw it on an animal documentary, once" replied Miguel.
"I'm gonna guess. Lynn tried to get rid of the eagle and got beaten up" said Lori. "Pretty much" said Lincoln.
"So. What are we gonna do?" asked Leni. "Wait, you guys wanna help us?" asked Jordan. "Well of course! This is the tree house you and you're friends built. And we don't want it getting stolen" said Leni.
"Actually some of us weren't here to make this" said Zach. "You also have our help too" said Carol.
Lincoln felt touched at how they wanna help them. "I think I have an idea" said Miguel.
"You know how to deal with a big eagle?" asked Mandee. "Of course, I saw it on the animal documentary" said Miguel.
"Okay, first I need a rubber glove, some leather, shoe laces and some body armor" said Miguel. They all nodded and went back inside.
A few minutes later they return with the following stuff. "I got the old Football outfit I once wore" said Lincoln. "It will do" said Miguel.
"Now. Do you guys have any mice or warm meat" said Miguel. Lori went back inside and grabbed some ribs and warmed them up in the microwave.
She then went back to hand it to Miguel. "Okay. It's time to shine!" said Miguel as he comes closer to the house.
"Hey there big guy! Look what I got!" said Miguel as he shows the meat. The bald eagle looks down and stares at the warmed up ribs.
The eagle then opens its wings. And to Miguel's shock, those are some big wing span. Also the eagle looked like it was ready to attack.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea!" said Miguel to himself. The Eagle then drops off from the watch tower and dive bombs towards Miguel.
Miguel immediately screams and runs off while still holding the meat. Everyone else gets down for cover as the eagle low flies past them.
Lynn was still a bit in a daze and sees the eagle. She tries to get up and go after the bird. "Get back here you!" said Lynn. But she falls back down when Miguel runs over her.
Miguel just runs around the house screaming with the eagle in hot pursuit. The others come out of hiding and just watch as Miguel just runs around.
"And he said he knew what to do" said Dana. "Doesn't seem much" said Becky. "Oh he's doing something" said Fiona.
Meanwhile Luna returns home from band practice. "Wonder what everyone else is-". She's cut off when she hears someone screaming at their place.
Luna runs to the house and spots one of Leni's work friends wearing Lincoln's old football gear, holding some ribs and getting chased by an eagle. All while running around the house.
Luna then runs towards him and grabs the meat. "This what you want dude?!" said Luna menacingly to the eagle. The eagle takes to the skies and then dives in.
Luna quickly heads to the backyard and tosses the meat into the air. The eagle intercepts it and lands back onto the watchtower while eating the meat.
"Thanks" said Miguel. But because of all the running he did, he passes out from exhaustion. "Umm, you're welcome" replied Luna.
Luna then heads to the others. "This bird won't leave?" asked Luna. They all nodded in response. Then Becky gets an idea. "What if one of us dresses up like a lady eagle?" said Becky.
"There is no way I'm doing that!" said Lola. "Maybe we can scare it with some loud noise?" said Dana. "I'm not sure that will work. A bald eagle is not intimidated by such loud volume. Unless you possess an armed ranged weapon" said Lisa.
They all knew what she meant, well except for Leni. "You mean a gun?!" said Lori. "A Shotgun to be precise, but any will do" replied Lisa.
"There is no way we are firing that kind of weapon here brah" said Luna. "Someone might think there's a robbery if they heard that" said Carol.
"Have you guys noticed that Mr. Grouse hasn't come out here to yell at all the noise we're making" said Lucy.
They all turned to Mr. Grouses house and sees he hasn't even come out yet. "Maybe he went fishing" said Stella.
They all started talking about what to do with the eagle. Jordan notices Lincoln was missing. "Guys?" said Jordan. But they all don't listen.
"Guys?!" said Jordan with a raised tone. Again they're all still talking to each other.
"HEY!" yelled Jordan. They all stop and look at her. "I'm here" said Lynn, then she falls unconscious again.
"What wrong dude?" said Luna. "Where Lincoln?" replied Jordan. They all looked around and noticed he was gone.
Luna looks up and sees her brother already in the tree house at the second floor. "Lincoln!" yelled Luna.
The others also look up and are shocked to see where he was and where he's going to next.
Lori: What is he literally doing?!
Leni: Lincoln's gonna get hurt!
Tabby: What the bloody hell mate?!
Lisa: This cannot end well
Lucy: Lincoln stop!
Lola and Lana: Is he crazy!
Carol, Dana and Becky: Lincoln No!
Rusty: I can't watch! (Covers his eyes)
Stella: Don't do it dude!
Clyde just faints from seeing this and Zach tries to revive him.
But Jordan knows he has a plan. "Guys! Let him be, I think he knows what he's doing" said Jordan. They all wanted to protest, but Lori silenced them.
All they could do was watch this kid just go towards the large bird. 'Be careful bro!' Luna says in her thoughts.
Lincoln climbs up the ladder that leads to the watchtower and like Lynn he was shocked to see the eagle was looking at him.
Lincoln was now standing in front of it. He then slowly walks towards it, the eagle shows no signs of aggression to him and just looks at Lincoln.
Lincoln then leans onto the railing while looking at the rest of the neighborhood. "Beautiful isn't it?" said Lincoln.
Lincoln then looks at the Eagle. "You're here because you have nowhere to go huh?" said Lincoln. The eagle doesn't respond and just watches the distance with him.
The eagle then drops the left overs of the ribs onto the ground and with good timing Charles comes out of his dog house and grabs it. Lana spots this and has a tug of war fight with Charles.
Lincoln and the bald eagle just look down and watch the two fight over the left over ribs. "You came from a nest of many huh?" said Lincoln.
The eagle just caws next to him. "I have ten sisters" said Lincoln. The eagle looks at him with disbelief. "Yeah, I know. But it's true and you already beat one them to a pulp" said Lincoln. The two of them redirect their gaze to the still unconscious Lynn.
They then look back to the distance. "You know if you wanna stay here. You have to be sure not to harm anyone, I know you attacked Lynn because she was threatening you" said Lincoln.
"So. I'll see if my parents can allow you to be part of our tree house, I just hope they don't call a professional to get rid of you. To be honest when I first saw you sitting here. I thought you were kinda cool" said Lincoln.
All the eagle could do was squawk at him. Lincoln smiles and slowly inches his hand closer to the bird. The eagle moves his head back a bit, but then let's Lincoln pet him.
At the bottom they are all shocked to see what Lincoln was doing.
Miguel: H-How?
Fiona: Is he petting it?
Rusty: Whoa Man!
Stella: This is insane!
Tabby: I have no idea what the heck is going on!
Lori: He is literally touching that thing.
Leni: Is he getting hurt? Or is he hurting the eagle?
Lola and Lana: Please don't get hurt Lincoln. (Lana's other hand has the ribs)
Lucy: I think I have a poem for it. I just need something that rhymes with vicious.
Carol: Atrocious, Suspicious, Venomous and Virtuous.
Lisa: This seems very odd for a wild creature like that to easily respond so kindly.
Clyde wakes up and sees Lincoln petting the eagle, then he passes out again.
Jordan and Luna don't say anything at all. But instead they smile at the scene. "Nice job bro" said Luna. "That's my BF" said Jordan.
Lincoln then heads down. But he sees the eagle approaching him. "You wanna come down with me?" asked Lincoln. The eagle nods.
Lincoln then looks to Miguel. "Throw the glove to me!" said Lincoln. Luna pulls the make shift eagle perch glove from Miguel and tosses it to Lincoln.
But the eagle grabs it instead and hands it to Lincoln. "Thanks" said Lincoln. He puts on the glove and tightens it with the shoe laces and rope.
The eagle stands on his gloved arm as he descends from the tree house.
Lincoln then makes it tog round level, where everyone else is asking him what the heck just happened. "We'd like to know too" they all turn around to see Rita with Lily in her arms, Lynn Sr and Luan.
"We just got back from the doctor after Luan accidently tripped on her own banana peel at her gig and landed on the hard concrete floor.
They all noticed the cast on Luan's left arm. "Guess you can say I left behind what I slipped! Hahaha! Get it!" said Luan. They all groan in response, so does the eagle.
The parents then spot Lynn on the ground unconscious. "Oh my god! LJ" said Lynn Sr and Rita as they approach her. They handed Lily over to Leni.
"No need to worry parental units, she's in no harm anymore. She will recover soon. That and I realized the water she may have drunk from the fridge was one of my experimental exhaustion liquids" said Lisa.
"Why would you make that?" asked Jordan. "It's an invention authorities could use to subdue criminal without fully harming them" replied Lisa.
The parents looked at the eagle on Lincoln's gloved right arm and were a little worried. "Mom, dad. The eagle attacked because Lynn was being the aggressor" said Lincoln. "You know how she is" said Luna.
The parents understood correctly. But they're gonna have to talk to Lynn about this and Lisa about the water she made.
"So. Mind telling all of us why that eagle was up there" said Rita. "And why is it calm down now" said Lynn Sr.
"I think this guy is just looking for a place to stay and also I noticed this under its belly" said Lincoln. He then slowly reveals under it's under feathers were a few scratch marks.
Lisa looks closely and realizes what it was. "It seems that the Bald Eagle must've gotten into a fight with another. And judging by its presence here the competing eagle exiled him to Royal Woods and out of the Forest" said Lisa.
"Exactly what is was thinking earlier" said Lincoln. "I did not see this kind of behavior from the animal documentary" said Miguel.
Jordan also approaches the eagle and pets his head. The eagle allows her. "Well. We can't just let him fly off elsewhere. He could get seriously hurt" said Luna.
The parents didn't know what to think of. But then they saw Luna, Lana and Lucy approaching the eagle and also petting it.
"He's so cool" said Lana. "The size of his claws are wicked" said Lucy. "Gotta admit, you're not so bad for a bird of prey" said Luna.
The parents also saw the other kids getting used the eagle. Clyde is till unconscious though and Miguel is still a little freaked out by it.
The parents approached Lincoln. The others backed away so they can speak to him. "We'll let you keep the eagle, just try to keep an eye on him and make sure he's well fed" said Rita.
Lincoln smiled at this news. "Thank mom and dad. I really didn't want him to leave, I feel like we're both bonded or something" said Lincoln.
The other pets were a bit nervous about this. But then they remembered when another dog almost came into their lives. Charles, Cliff, Geo, Waltz, Hops, Izzy, El Diablo, and Fangs nodded in agreement. They will have to adapt to the new member of the family.
"And on the plus side. He can act as a tough watch dog, er bird" said Lynn Sr. "Unlike some guards here" said Lana crossing her arms and looking at Charles.
"But first we must tend to his injury" said Lisa. Lincoln followed his little sister into her room for medical supplies, with Lana following as well.
The parents realized that their family was expanding. So they were gonna have to stock up on some extra meat.
Meanwhile upstairs. Lincoln calms down the eagle while Lisa stitches up the scratch marks. "Whatever eagle he fought had a strong force of attack to make such deep cuts" said Lisa.
Lana was also helping in passing the tools Lisa needs. Lisa also takes a bit of the eagle's blood sample to check for any diseases.
"So, what are you gonna name him?" asked Lana. Lincoln looks at the Eagle who is looking back at him. Then Lincoln thinks of a name for the bird, then he remembers of a video game that is an RTS. A video game with the Allied forces and their logo is an eagle.
"Patriot. That's his name, Patriot" said Lincoln. The eagle just caws in response. "I'm gonna say you like it" said Lincoln with a smile.
'A little cheesy to be naming him after the countries nationality to the bird' Lisa says in her thoughts.
Minutes later. Lincoln, Lisa and Lana with Patriot come down stairs and see their parents talking to Lynn.
Lori, Leni and their friends were in their bedroom. Lola was outside in her little car, everyone else was downstairs also talking to Lynn.
They all spot the bandaged up bird. Lynn gets up from the couch and looks at the eagle. Both sporting intimidating looks. 'Oh boy' Lincoln says to his thoughts.
But Lynn just smiles. "You put up a great fight big guy" said Lynn. "I'm impressed. But I would've been better if I didn't drink that science water Lisa made" said Lynn.
"Which is something we have to discuss with you later young lady" said Rita. "Understood" replied Lisa.
"So, you came up with a name yet sport?" said Lynn Sr. "Yeah, his name is patriot" replied Lincoln.
"Cool name man" said Luna. "He was pretty brave out there" said Liam. The others also agreed to this.
"And who knows, if we run into the bird who kicked you out of the forest. I say we should go another round with that guy!" said Lynn. "And here's the recklessness coming back" said Jordan.
Later they head back into the Tree House to hang out. While they're hanging out, Lincoln is already coming up with a plan to make Patriot his own perch inside his room with Luna.
Clyde on the other hand was still afraid of heights and tried to look away from the edge of the tree house and at the same time keep his distance from the eagle, even though he's not gonna hurt him.
Lincoln also told patriot that if he wants to leave his droppings, he has to do it outside. Just not on vanzilla, they already have pigeons to deal with that.
Lynn Sr. is hoping that patriot would target the pigeons.
Nighttime has fallen on Royal Woods. All of their friends are back at home. The loud family were now eating dinner.
With the large bald eagle sitting on the back rest of Lincoln's chair while their all eating meatloaf and lasagna.
As they all get ready for bed. Patriot leaves the house and settles back into the Tree House. Lincoln smiles at the fact patriot already has a place to stay, but he will have to adjust to living in a house with a lot of chaos.
Which is something Lincoln is looking forward to.
"Where are the ribs?" yelled Lynn Sr from the kitchen. All of the loud kids smiled nervously, they had to explain something to him later.
Again, this idea came to me in a dream. I have no idea why I wanted an eagle in their family. But id o hope this was a good chapter. Leave a review and tell me what you think.
