Chapter 67
Happy Halloween my readers and Loudsters! Enjoy!
Halloween has arrived to Royal Woods Michigan!
Kids are preparing for the night they've been waiting for. Spooky decorations cover the streets and a womanly moan is heard across town.
(Cue girlish scream)
Never mind!
In the Loud House, the girlish scream is coming from none other than the man, for some reason is afraid of Halloween, Lynn Loud Sr.
"I hate Halloween!" said Lynn Sr. as he runs away from the severed Leni head in the fridge.
Lucy passes by him and picks up the head. "I love Halloween."
She then heads to the dining room where she checks on all of the pumpkins the others are carving.
As she analyzes each one, she notices Lincoln's pumpkin had the face markings of the Lich King.
"Whoa! Nice job Lincoln, now all we need to do is make it glow blue. Do we have a small blue lamp in here?" said Lucy.
"You can use one of my almost worn out cold fusion rod, I just need to make sure it won't go unstable" said Lisa.
Lucy then gets second thoughts. "Umm, no thanks. I think I can find a way to make a candle glow blue."
"Halloween is kinda spooky with a creepy little girl like you!" said Luna.
"I'm so happy that mom let you do you're Halloween maze this year" said Leni.
"I know, I'm so happy to let this come true" said Lucy. You might not see it, but she is smiling, sort of.
"Well, I'm gonna go and check on my costume" said Lincoln.
Lisa, Lana and Lola also head upstairs to check on their costumes.
Lincoln enters the room and spots his bag under the bed and pulls out his attire. "This is gonna be awesome!"
Then Luna comes in and opens the closet. "You ready for some trick or treatin' tonight bro?"
"You know it. Jordan said she knows a place where we can score a lot of candy" replied Lincoln. "She didn't tell me where it is, but she said it was a surprise."
"Well, I hope you and the other lil' sisters get a lot this year" said Luna. She then finds her skeleton suit.
"So, is Sam gonna be part of this?" asked Lincoln.
"She said she is. I don't know what she has planned, but I bet it's gonna be wicked!" said Luna.
Later Lincoln comes out of the room and heads for the kitchen, but when he sees the living room, he spots his dad cowering behind the couch.
"This happens every time, I wonder what he's so afraid of? It's just fake scares" Lincoln says to himself.
Lincoln heads into the kitchen and feels like something was watching him. He then grabs some juice and drinks it.
He then turns around to see a flying head with its spine attached.
"Hey Patriot" said Lincoln with a smile. "I'm gonna guess Lucy has something planned for you as well."
The eagle caws in response and flies to the living room and they all hear they're dad screaming. "I hate Halloween!"
"Wicked!" said Lucy out of nowhere, causing Lincoln to get startled.
"Hey Luce, you seem ready for tonight" said Lincoln.
"I am, I already went through another check on the corn maze and it's all set and ready, also what are you gonna be tonight? I know you and Clyde are both no longer in the best friend's thing" said Lucy.
"Well, Clyde is going with Penelope tonight, I don't know what they're gonna be. Rusty is going to a party with Zach. Liam, Stella and Tabby are coming with us, I just don't know where this place Jordan said it was" replied Lincoln.
"Well, I hope you guys score something more than just a few jaw breakers, also I asked Haiku if she wanted to join. But she had to decline, something about a person who just died and she's going to write a poem to him/her in the cemetery" said Lucy.
"Guess we both got big plans huh?" asked Lincoln. Lucy smiles. "That we do."
"Still what are you gonna be for Halloween?" asked Lucy.
"That you'll have to wait on, speaking of which I should change now" said Lincoln.
He then heads upstairs and sees Luna exiting the bathroom wearing her skeleton suit and holding some makeup.
"Wow Luna. You look like a skeleton, just with a fleshy head" said Lincoln.
"Thanks bro, but I'll be full dead when I put my make up on" said Luna. She then heads for the bathroom.
Lincoln heads into the room and gets ready to change into his costume. "Let's do this!"
(Thirty minutes later)
Luna exits the bathroom now with skeleton looking makeup. "Now I look like I came from the grave!"
She heads to her room, but then she remembers that Lincoln is in there, changing into his costume. So she waits outside.
Lori comes out of her room dressed as a vampire and Leni is dressed in some old timey dress.
"Wow Luna! You literally look like a living skeleton" said Lori. "Totes!" said Leni.
"Thanks dudes, you two look cool yourselves" said Luna. "I'm just waiting for little bro to come out with his costume."
"I just can't believe Sam is coming here to be part of the maze!" said Leni.
"I'm as stoked as you gals are" said Luna.
"Me too" said Lucy who is dressed like the grim reaper, which startles everyone. "So, where's Lincoln?"
"Still getting dressed up little dude" replied Luna.
Then Lola and Lana come out and show them they're strategy in getting candy.
But then Lisa, wearing a kangaroo suit, shows them her adorable tactic, which they all think is cute. Baby Roo Lily!
Soon Luan arrives as Dr. Frankenstein and her monster Coconuts and Lynn Jr. as Jason Vorhees, with a chainsaw.
"So, where's Lincoln?" asked Luna.
Then the door to Luna and Lincoln's room opens and some greenish smoke appears and within a shadowy figure with glowing green eyes. The girls look nervous at the figure as it walks towards them.
It was Lincoln wearing some undead like armor (light weight) along with a dark cape with some tears and with him is a sword and scabbard strapped to his belt and under his right arm he's holding the Lich King's crown. He has some fake scares on him as well.
"Whoa! Lincoln cool costume!" said Luna.
Lucy approaches her brother with shock. "A-Are you the Lich King?!"
Lincoln puts on the crown and it changes his voice. "Yes my dearest sister and I shall bring forth an undead plague to the world!"
The sisters gasp at his voice change.
"So that's why you asked me to build a mask built in voice modifier two days ago. Very smart brother" said Lisa.
"You're definitely gonna scare someone tonight" said Lana.
"You seem more like a kid going to a convention" said Lori.
Lincoln takes off the crown. "I just wanted to try this on for tonight, I wanna look scary cool!"
"The only thing you're missing is an undead horse" said Lucy. They all look at her confused.
"Well, we should be heading downstairs now" said Lynn Jr.
Lynn Sr is in the living room trying to calm down. But then his bedroom door opens and he sees his wife as a zombie and screams. Then his kid come down stairs dressed up and he screams again.
Lincoln appears in the group wearing his lich king crown. "Hey dad."
Lynn Sr screams and runs into the kitchen and straight to the basement.
"Well, at least he's safe. But don't we need him for trick or treating?!" said Lana.
"I really want some candy" said Lola.
Then Lincoln takes off the crown and goes to his mom. "Mom, is it okay if I escort the younger sisters tonight? I am meeting up with my friends and Jordan said she has a special place for us for trick or treating."
Rita thinks about it. She knows that Jordan is a girl they can trust and with Lincoln already taking responsibility. "Oh what the heck. Alright son" replied Rita.
He then hugs her. "Thanks mom."
Then they hear the doorbell ring. "I'll get it" said Leni.
When she opens it she sees a figure about Luna's age, wearing a black trench coat with a black sleeveless shirt inside, a large black hat, fingerless gloves, a shovel, combat boots and fake black hair. "I seek the souls of those who dared challenge me!"
Leni gets confused, but then Luna looks closely. "Sam?!"
She then reveals her face to be Sam but her eyes were white, which they all gasp. Then her pupils return.
"Gotcha!" said Sam with a laugh. "Sorry about that, I can actually make my eyes go all white if I move my pupils all the way up."
"That is so cool" said Lucy. "That I didn't know about" said Luna. "So, who are you supposed to be?" asked Luan.
"Call me the phenom, the prince or princess of darkness, the digger of lost souls and the unbreakable streak ever" said Sam.
Lynn Jr's mask falls and she looks at her with shock. "The Undertaker! Oh man! That guy's a legend! And still is the greatest!"
"Bingo! I just thought, since I have this thing with my eyes, I should go as him. Plus I could make this maze look spookier than it was before" replied Sam.
Lucy goes to her and looks at her outfits features. "Hmm, seems spooky enough, okay you're in."
Lincoln then gets an idea. He goes back upstairs and hands Sam his eagle glove.
"You want me to handle your bird?" asked Sam.
"Yup. He's in the Halloween spirit too" replied Lincoln.
Then Sam sees a severed head with a spine sitting on the glove. She gets startled at first, then she hears the head caw. "Oh, it's just patriot, wow! He really looks scary."
"I know, he already made dad spooked out" replied Lincoln. "You two could be a team for the maze."
Sam then has an idea. "Do you guys have a large coffin and some lightning and fire special effects?"
Lucy smiles hearing that.
(Meanwhile)
Lincoln and his four sisters make their way to the street sign where they spot Liam as a Weasel, Tabby as Gene Simmons and Stella as some kind of lady in white with long black hair.
Lincoln puts on his crown and goes to them with the other sisters. "Hey guys!"
They get startled by his voice. "Lincoln?" said Tabby.
Lincoln chuckles and removes his crown. "Is there any other?"
"Dang! You got the drop on us buddy" said Liam.
"Dude! You look exactly like that Lich King Guy!" said Stella.
"Truly spooky mate" said Tabby.
"Thanks, so has anyone seen Jordan yet?" asked Lincoln.
"Sorry dude. We just got here" replied Stella.
They then hear a strange noise coming from somewhere, it sounded party music.
It almost sounded like happy birthday music. Then they hear some stomping sounds.
Then they suddenly hear a female voice. "Did you know who I am?"
Then they all turn around to see a figure underneath a glitching street lamp. Then it disappears.
They all get nervous. Then Lincoln grabs the assailant who was sneaking behind him.
And it was a smaller version of Circus baby. "Hello" said the little animatronic.
Lincoln smiles. "Hey beautiful."
The figure removes the helmet to reveal Jordan. "Wow! You figured me out."
"Well, you wanted to meet us here, so I thought this was your new way to surprise me" replied Lincoln.
They turn around and see the almost frightened looks from Liam, Stella, Tabby, Lola, Lana and Lisa. Lily's head pops out of the pouch to see what was happening.
"Well, looks like they got a startling moment" said Jordan.
"J-Jordan?!" they all said in shock.
"What are you?" asked Lana.
"Why do you look like a big doll?" asked Lola.
"Better yet, what's with the voice modifier?" asked Lisa.
"First off, I am not a giant doll, I am an animatronic from the game Sister's location. My character is Circus baby. Also this voice modifier was given to me by my dad from a friend" replied Jordan.
"I can't believe your costume is from a video game" said Lincoln.
"Same as yours Death knight" replied Lincoln.
Lincoln smirks and puts on his crown. "Excuse me, I am a lich king!"
Jordan giggles. "Then it would be weird to have me as your queen."
The two of them share a few laughs. The others just remain silent in awkwardness.
"So, where's this place you said about a good trick or treating?" asked Lola.
"Follow me" replied Jordan. They all follow her and soon make it to their destination.
A large gate with the sign Huntington manor.
"Whoa mates!" said Tabby.
"Wait a minute! This is the place?" asked Stella.
"Dang right it is" replied Jordan.
"But, we don't live in these rich parts" said Liam.
"And I don't think they would appreciate our kind of social life style here" replied Lisa.
"And that's where you're all wrong. Follow me" replied Jordan.
They walk up to the guard who immediately recognizes the girl.
"Well, well. If it isn't little miss Rosato. You planning on trick or treating here this year?" asked the guard Wyatt.
"Yes, yes I am. And this time I brought with me some friends" replied Jordan.
"Well of course, go on ahead" replied Guard Wyatt. The gates open for them, making the others shocked.
Then he notices Lincoln. "And this must be the young man who stole your heart."
"This handsome fella is the one" replied Jordan.
"Well, this will be one the whole neighborhood will look forward to" replied Guard Wyatt.
"Cheers Wyatt" replied Jordan as she and the others head inside.
"Have a happy Halloween you lot" replied Guard Wyatt.
They enter through the gate and see a lot of big and fancy houses.
"Darling, what just happened?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh, well me and my family used to be residents here. Then we decided to move to the other neighborhood, but we're still welcome to this place" replied Jordan.
"You are truly the best dude!" said Stella.
"This is gonna be dang awesome!" said Liam.
"I always wanted to come to this place!" said Tabby.
"This place looks clean" said Lana.
"And fancy!" said Lola.
"No time for sightseeing people! We have candy at stake!" said Lisa.
"Goo Goo!" said Lily.
"Yeah!" they all cheered and headed off into the first house.
Though when Lola and Lana do their strategy it doesn't seem to work. Turns out some of the residence are smarter than they look and they know when they see two familiar girls wearing the same outfit.
But they couldn't resist the power of a baby dressed like a Roo! Bonus! Triple candy!
When Jordan and Lincoln head for their turn they get some handshakes after they are handed the candy bars.
Liam, Tabby and Stella fair better as normal trick or treaters.
"So, what the heck was that about?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh, everyone hear must've heard about you and me dating and all of the things that have been happening around Royal Woods because of you and me, also dad has a lot of friends here who also know" replied Jordan.
"Well, that's a lot to take in" said Liam.
"At least we got what we all came for! Full sized candy bars!" said Tabby.
"I can't believe this place has this kind of candy!" said Stella.
"I don't understand why our strategy didn't work" complained Lana.
"Is everyone here smart enough to defy our cute tricks!" said Lola in anger. "We could've gotten more candy!"
"At least none of them had the will power to defy my secret weapon" said Lisa. Lily pops out and makes giggle noise, which causes all of them to just 'awe' at the baby,
"She's just too adorable!" said Jordan.
"Alright, last house and then we're done" said Lincoln.
When they all go to the house they ring the door and who answers it shocks them. "Oh, hello there mates" replied Hugh.
"Hugh?!" said Lola and Lana.
"Wait a minute, you live here?" asked Lincoln and Jordan.
"So this is the guy who made all of the girls in school go gaga?!" said Stella.
"He sure is somethin'" said Liam. Tabby is at a lost for words and just looks at him.
Though something was off about him. He looked like he was dressed as Steam punk Brittania style.
"Well, it is such an honor to meet the two lovers that me and my lady call friends" said Hugh. "And yes, I do live here. I moved here last year."
Jordan recognized the house. "This is where my family and I used to live before we moved some other neighborhood."
"Well, I have to say. This is some nice shindig you had here" replied Hugh. "And it looks like you're all prepped for some trick or treating."
"We are" replied Lincoln.
"Hang in there mates. I'll be right back" said Hugh. He heads back inside to get something.
"So, Hugh lives in Huntington manor. Why didn't we know about this?!" said Lola.
"Because he doesn't want any of you or the other sisters to know, because he already has a love life" replied Lincoln.
"Yeah, let's leave him and Sirena be guys" said Jordan.
Lisa straightens her glasses. "Believe me I am over him. I found a new male to be interested in."
"You mean David?" asked Lincoln with a smirk. Lisa blushes and looks away.
"Well, at least I still have Skippy" said Lana. "Yeah, I guess Winston is my guy too" replied Lola.
"Well, me and my gal are still a thing. But that Hugh fella has some looks to kill" said Liam.
Tabby snaps out of the trance. "Wha? I have no clue what just happened."
"And she's struck by him" said Jordan.
"You two have some very awesome and unexpected friends" said Stella.
Then Hugh comes back with eight red bags of candy all tied and wrapped up. "Here you go chaps. I always hand these bags of candy to any trick or treaters."
"Whoa! These things feel heavy" said Lana. "What are in these things? Gold covered candy?" said Lola.
"Seems a lot for just normal small trinkets or full sized candy bars" said Lisa.
"Feels like apples to me" said Liam.
"You all have to open them when you all head back home, and I have to be off now" said Hugh.
He then locks the door and puts on his steam punk top hat and a monocle.
"Where are you going Hugh?" asked Lincoln.
"I am meeting up with Sirena at a big Halloween costume party and I do hope she's wearing something that could be more alluring than her looks" replied Hugh.
This causes Lincoln, Jordan, Liam and Tabby to turn red, it sounded a bit awkward.
"Too much information dude" said Stella.
"You know what, since you're all here. How about I give you all a ride home?" asked Hugh.
"Well, this was the last house and we are done for the night. Sure why not" replied Jordan.
They all follow Hugh to his garage where he reveals his silver Porsche.
"Now that's a car!" said Lana. "Fascinating selection for a vehicle" said Lisa.
"It's like a horse carriage, but without the horses" replied Lola.
"Well, hop in everyone. Lincoln and Jordan ride shot gun with me" said Hugh.
They all hop into the car and head off, they say they're goodbyes to gate guard Wyatt.
On their way home, they all spot Jordan's uncle Peter with some police arresting two big kids with some toilet paper.
Peter is dressed like Van Helsing. But what happened?
(Flashback)
Peter is in his car dressed as Van Helsing and has a police siren at the top of the truck roof. He volunteered as an undercover cop to watch out for trouble on Halloween night.
He then spots two big kids in baby face masks with toilet paper, they were about to head to Franklin Avenue, the street of the Louds.
He drives there and stops them before anything was done and calls for backup when they try to run.
(End Flashback)
"Wonder what happened there" said Stella.
"It appears Jordan's uncle has apprehended two delinquents from causing any more damage to Halloween night" replied Lisa.
"Well, at least no harm was done to anyone" said Liam.
"Those two blokes are going to get what's coming to them soon" said Tabby.
They then make it to the loud house, where they see some kids run out of the maze screaming and laughing.
"Looks like Lucy's haunted maze is turning out great" said Lincoln.
They all get out of the car and see Luna on her organs and then she spots Lincoln and the others.
"Well, thanks for the ride Hugh" said Jordan.
"Anytime kids. See you around and I'll tell Sirena you said hi" replied Hugh and he drives off.
"Whoa dudes! You all hitched a ride with Hugh? Awesome" said Luna.
"Well, we just ran into him when my lovely girlfriend brought us to a place with tons of candy" said Lincoln.
Jordan giggles and kisses his cheek. "You are just being too nice to me."
"So, should we inspection our find?" asked Lisa.
Then Lincoln looks to the maze and smiles. "How about we have some fun in the maze first?"
"Wicked" said Lucy out of nowhere, startling them.
(Later)
As a group of kids head into the maze they get creeped out by the song of Luna. Tricked!
They spot a small coffin with a dead little girl, and her ghost arises from behind.
A Vampire feeding on a woman who turns into a zombie.
A headless living body with the head rolling around.
Jason Vorhees with a chainsaw.
Doctor Frankenstein bring her dummy monster to life.
A rabid kangaroo with a rabid joey.
They see a mirror with a ghostly woman in white and long black hair and she steps out of the mirror.
Demonic fire engulfs an area and a demon Rockstar emerges.
A haunted scarecrow rips open with a zombie weasel.
A stage light turns on and they see a bloodied animatronic circus baby and she does the signature jump scare sound.
Cold mist is in the area and they bump into a skeleton horse with the Lich King raising his sword as if he were the headless horseman.
Then they spot a tall shadowy figure digging up a grave with a bloody shovel and a head with its spine lands on her shoulder. "Rest in peace children" said the figure.
They all run out screaming and encounter a little Grim reaper.
Yup, the loud family maze is turning out great, or better yet in the words of Lucy Loud. Wicked!
After an hour of scares and laughs. The maze was now closed.
"That was literally a success" said Lori.
"We rocked it out there dudes!" said Luna.
"I guess they were all too stitched to stick around" said Luan with a joke.
"Gotta admit, if our cuteness didn't do well, than we at least got some scares" said Lana.
"Well, it was pretty fun" said Lola.
"I think I looked good, even without a head" said Leni as she enters the house with her fake severed head.
"Did you see how they all just reacted?! Priceless!" said Lynn Jr.
"Rabid animals makes a good scare tool" said Lisa. "Goo-goo" said Lily.
"Or zombified animals" said Liam.
"Gotta love this whole maze thing you all got here" said Tabby.
"At least they got a glimpse of my country's ghost" said Stella.
"We sure scared them good, I did well as Circus baby" said Jordan.
"They truly feared the lich king. I liked riding that fake skeleton horse" said Lincoln.
"I kinda make this whole undertaker look, look good" said Sam. Then patriot squawks.
"I have to say, this was a heck of a night Lucy" said Rita. "We could do this again next year."
"That would be awesome and you all did so well. This truly is the best Halloween for me" said Lucy.
Then Liam has an idea. "Maybe we can have a big Halloween event next year and host it at my family's farm, we could make a big haunted maze there!"
They all smiled at the idea. Bigger is better.
"Now that sounds wicked!" said Lucy.
"I can ask my parents tomorrow and if they give it a go on the idea, I can call you guys" said Liam.
"So, what happened with you little dudes?" asked Luna.
"Well, that's gonna be one heck of a story" said Lincoln.
They told them about the place they went to, the candy they got and who they ran into.
"Hugh lives there?!" they all said in shock.
"Yes he does, but we have to leave him alone" said Lincoln.
Many of them wanted to protest, but Lori and Luna had to tell them off. They were still shocked that Jordan used to live in Huntington Manor.
"Well, now that that's done. Let's see what we got!" said Lola.
They all emptied they're bags and saw the full sized candy bars. Next were the bags they got from Hugh.
They open them and gasp. An assortment of multiple chocolates! Kisses, Kit Kat, Cadbury dairy mil and Mars bars!
"What the what?!" said the twins. "Now this is a score!" said Lisa.
Lincoln, Jordan, Stella, Liam and Tabby decided to split their candy and store some of them in the tree house.
The other sisters ate some of the candy but not all of them. Lola and Lana had to store theirs somewhere safe. Lisa has a secret hiding spot where no one can get her share. (The bunker)
Soon they all head back home. Jordan was getting picked up by her uncle.
"This was one Halloween I'll never forget" said Lincoln. "You really made this one heck of a night beautiful."
Jordan hugs Lincoln and they both share a passionate kiss. They soon depart. "You taste like chocolate" said Jordan with loving eyes.
Lincoln chuckles. "Is this Valentine's day or Halloween?"
"I'd like to say both" replied Jordan as they share one final kiss. Then they say they're goodbyes and Jordan heads off home with her uncle.
Lincoln heads back inside and sees the twin's already asleep form an instant sugar crash, being carried by Lori and Lana.
Lynn heads out of the bathroom and into her room, where Lucy puts her new book of maze plans for next year back into her closet.
Lisa heads in from the back door, she probably already stashed her candy. Lily is already asleep.
Rita heads to the basement to look for her cowering husband.
Luan already in her pajamas heads into her room with Mr. Coconuts, who still looks like a monster.
"I guess I'll have to change your hideous look tomorrow" said Luan.
"Look who's talkin'" replied Mr. Coconuts. Luan gasps and starts to scold him.
Lincoln heads into the room he shares with Luna and changes out of his costume.
But he realizes someone else was in there. He turns around and sees Luna in her underwear and bra and Lincoln is in his underwear.
They both remain silent and laugh a bit. Then they both change into their sleep wear.
"Well, tonight was one heck of a night little bro" said Luna.
"You said it sis" said Lincoln.
Luna heads to her top bunk and Lincoln goes to the lower bunk.
"Goodnight little brother, sleep tight and have sweet dreams" said Luna.
"Sleep on and rock on sis" replied Lincoln.
'Next stop my lovely princess and her birthday' Lincoln says to himself, before drifting to sleep.
