Chapter 58
(Loud House Residence)
The louds are all back from school and trying to relax. Lincoln is on the couch with Patriot sitting next to him.
But then they both hear a loud explosion coming from Lisa's room. Patriot gets alarmed by this, but Lincoln calms down his Eagle companion.
"That's just Lisa doing her normal thing" said Lincoln. Then they hear Lisa screaming. The two of them head upstairs and meet up with Lori and Luna.
"You guys heard that right?" asked Lincoln. "Pretty much" said Lori. "Way louder than my music" said Luna.
All of them enter the room and see Lisa grabbed by a giant purple tentacle which is coming out of a small beaker.
"Lisa! What is literally happening here?!" said Lori in shock. "And what is that thing?" said Luna. "And how did it fit in the beaker?" asked Lincoln.
"It's science. You wouldn't understand" replied Lisa. Lincoln and Lori look through all of Lisa's chemicals and find what their looking for.
While Luna uses a chair to stop the beast and Patriot uses his claws to free Lisa. Lincoln gets a dropper and the beaker with the element of Chloride.
He puts one drop on the tentacle and it dissipates and screeches. Lori catches Lisa in time.
"Much appreciated. Also how did you know that would neutralize it?" asked Lisa. "Saw you're open notes on the desk" said Lincoln.
Afterwards they all go back to what they're all doing. Vanzilla returns with Rita, Lily and Luan. "We could use some help out here!" yelled Rita.
Lincoln, Lori and patriot exit the house and help bring the grocery bags inside. "We had some issues in the supermarket" said Rita as they all enter the kitchen.
They all look at Lily giggling. "You can say that today's diaper sale was a blowout! Hahaha! Get it?!" said Luan.
They all just groan in response. "At least we were given a warning the next time we go there" said Rita. "Also where are the others?" asked Rita.
"Leni is at work, Lynn is jogging home as usual and the twins are upstairs" said Lori. "Lucy is at a meeting with the young morticians club and Luna is upstairs doing her biology homework" said Lincoln.
"We are the ones who don't have homework" said Lori. "Oh, well that's good" said Rita.
They all finish unloading all of the groceries and go their separate ways. Then Lincoln gets a call from Jordan.
He sits on the couch and sets up the video chat. "Hey there beautiful" said Lincoln. "Good to see you Handsome" replied Jordan. "How's your head?" she asks.
"Still a bit sore. But I'm doing fine" said Lincoln. Patriot caws in response. "And Patriot says hi too" said Lincoln.
"Well a hello to you too Patriot" said Jordan. They all share a small chuckle. "So, how's it going with you in the mall?" asked Lincoln.
"Not so great! There's a very long line here and it reaches all the way to the discount flip flop store" said Jordan.
"A line to Reiningers?" asked Lincoln with confusion. "Actually we finished our shopping. Mollie said she was gonna treat us to some lunch here, we're gonna have some Chinese dim sum. But the line is a nightmare!" replied Jordan.
"Sorry that you have to wait" said Lincoln. Then they get interrupted by Kat. "Jordan, we're going to the food court instead!" said Kat.
"Well, guess we're having fries instead" said Jordan. "Guess you guys aren't having Chinese" said Lincoln.
"I'm pretty sure Mollie is not happy about this" said Jordan. "Dang right I am!" said Mollie off-screen. "Well, I'll call you later Linc" said Jordan.
"See you soon my love" replied Lincoln. The two of them soon hang up. Lincoln sighs and goes back to just chillin' on the couch.
But he didn't notice Lori who just saw their conversation. "You two are really into video chat" said Lori. "Butt out Lori" replied Lincoln with his eyes closed. Lori just chuckles and heads out.
Later Lincoln heads to the kitchen with Patriot for something to eat. But then he hears another argument upstairs.
Lincoln then sees Luan had just stopped the twins from fighting. 'Nice' Lincoln says to his thoughts. Then he hears the doorbell ring.
Lincoln heads downstairs immediately with Patriot following him. "Please be the package! Please be the package!" Lincoln says to himself.
He opens the door and sees the delivery man handing him a package. "Package for Lincoln Loud" Lincoln signs it and then closes the door.
Luna heads down stairs feeling relieved. "Finally got my homework done!" she then spots her brother with a package in the living room.
"Watcha got there bro?" asked Luna as she sits next to Patriot on the couch. "This is what I ordered two nights ago" said Lincoln as he searches through all of the packing peanuts.
And he finds it. "Here it is" said Lincoln and he is now holding a genuine eagle perch glove. "Whoa man!" said Luna. The eagle just looks in awe.
Lincoln then puts his left arm inside and straps it in. "Alright Patriot. Let's see what you think of this" said Lincoln. Patriot flies to Lincoln and lands onto the glove.
"How does it feel bro?" asked Luna. "This feels pretty comfortable, much better than the home made perch glove" said Lincoln. Patriot caws in response.
"Me and patriot are gonna go for a walk in the park" said Lincoln. Luna gets up. "I think I'll join you. I finally got my Homework done, could use some outdoors stuff" said Luna.
"The more the merrier I guess" said Lincoln. "Cool, I'm gonna go get my acoustic" said Luna as she heads back upstairs and into her shared room.
Lincoln and patriot head out of the house and wait for Luna. They then see an RV stop in front of Mr. Grouse's house. With the cantankerous man coming out with some fishing gear.
"I'll see you all next fishing season boys. Hope we catch a big one next time" said Mr. Grouse to one of his old friends.
The RV drives off and Mr. Grouse notices Lincoln. "Hey there Loud. Just got back from-". He stops when he notices the bird on his leathered glove.
"Nice Eagle?" said Mr. Grouse. "Thanks Mr. Grouse, his name's patriot" said Lincoln. the eagle caws in response.
"Did I miss something while I was away?" asked Mr. Grouse. "To be honest, we didn't know you were gone" said Lincoln.
Mr. Grouse then sees the sign he put on his door had fallen into the bushes. "Dang it" said Mr. Grouse. "Maybe if you have some time, you can tell me how you got that there bird of prey" said Mr. Grouse as he heads back into his house.
"It's good to see you again Neighbor" replied Lincoln. Then Luna comes out of the house with her guitar. "Alright bro, and bird. Let's get to the park" said Luna.
(Ketchum Park)
During their walk to the park, Lincoln tells Luna of where Grouse was for the past five days. "Who dude! No wonder why I haven't heard any complaints" said Luna.
They arrive in the park and take a break by the picnic benches. "This feels nice" said Lincoln. He then gets an idea and stands up. Lincoln walks towards a field and let's patriot fly around.
Lincoln stays standing in the field and watches his avian predator fly around the place.
Some of the people notice the majestic bird. Then Lincoln hears someone calling him. "Hey Linc!" he turns around to see Liam and Tabby.
"Hey guys. Here to relax or is this like a date?" asked Lincoln with a smirk. "I guess you can say it's a bit of both" replied Liam. "What are you up to mate? And nice glove" said Tabby.
"Just here with patriot. I ordered this thing a few nights ago" said Lincoln. Then patriot dives from the skies and lands gracefully on Lincoln's perch glove.
"Luna's over there strumming her tunes" said Lincoln as he points to the picnic tables. "Cool. We should all get something to eat" said Tabby.
They all return to Luna and look for a nearby food vendor. They spot Flip, but after remembering the surveillance from Lisa, they just ignore him.
"Why are we walking away from Flip?' asked Liam. Luna and Tabby are also confused. "Trust me, it's not worth it" said Lincoln.
It's a good thing they found a food vendor who is selling loaded fries in the nearby parking lot. "This stuff tastes awesome" said Tabby.
"It's like nachos and chips in one" said Liam. "Couldn't agree with you guys more" said Luna. "Seems patriot likes it too" said Lincoln as he eats his loaded fries. Patriot is on the ground eating his own loaded fries, but Lincoln made sure there was more bacon in it.
After eating lunch they all share some conversations. "So, when are you gonna spend some date-to-date time with your Sammy?" asked Tabby.
"Well, I was planning on taking her to the Royal Wood's astonishing quest soon, so we can get to know each other before we go on an actual date" replied Luna with a blush on her face.
"That sounds like a good start for the two of you" said Lincoln. "But just so you should know. Me and Stella are gonna be part of it" said Tabby.
"Same with me and Jordan" said Lincoln. He then notices Liam. "What about you Liam? Aren't you gonna be part of it?" asked Lincoln.
"Actually I'm gonna be part of making a quest" said Liam. "Whoa!" said Luna. "Awesome!" said Lincoln. "So that's the surprise talk you wanted to tell me" said Tabby.
"Sorry I couldn't team with you darling, but the farm is perfect for a quest" said Liam. "It's cool mate" said Tabby.
But they don't notice the nervous look on Luna's face. "So. Mind telling us what the quest is on your farm?" asked Lincoln. Tabby also gets curious. But Liam knows what they were up to.
"Nice try guys. But ya'll have to wait for the Royal Woods Astonishing quest to find out" replied Liam. "Aww man!" said Lincoln and Tabby. Even Luna felt a bit disappointed not knowing. But they understand.
After all of them spend time in the park. They all head back home.
(Loud House Residence, afternoon)
"Well, that was heck of a day" said Lincoln. "I'll say" replied Luna. They spot Mr. Grouse cleaning his front yard with his rake. "Afternoon kids" said Mr. Grouse.
"You seem rather happy today neighbor" said Luna. "That's because during the fishing season I caught me a big one and I hope I get it soon. I sent it for taxidermy" replied Mr. Grouse.
Patriot spots a pigeon flying above Vanzilla, he knows what the pigeon was up to. Patriot takes off and captures the pigeon, Talons first and flies to the tree house. "Nice one patriot" said Lincoln.
"Looks like Pigeons will think twice before pooping on vanzilla" said Luna. "That explains why no pigeon has pooped in my chimney" said Mr. Grouse.
