Chapter 72
(Loud House)
Lincoln is on his bed, with the blankets over him and a trash can filled with tissues.
"Well, this bites it. Hard!" said Lincoln.
The door opens and coming in was his roomie/sister Luna with a medical mask on her mouth, following behind her is Leni with a bowl of chicken noodle soup and some orange juice.
"Hey bro, you look like you've seen better days" said Luna.
"Yeah, like better days in the mall, like a sale!" said Leni.
"Hey guys. I guess this is what I get for getting sick again" replied Lincoln as he coughs.
Luna and Leni sit on the nearby bean bag chairs and hands him the bowl of soup and place the orange juice on the table.
"Don't worry bro, you've got your big sisters here to help you" said Luna.
"We talked to mom and dad and they said that the younger sisters aren't allowed to see you until you're cured" said Leni.
Lori then came in with a large overnight bag. "And Lisa is already in her bubble, same with Lola and Lana. Lucy said she was gonna avoid the vents near this room."
"As long as their safe and this doesn't become another zombie apocalypse again. By the way, whats with the overnight bag?" asked Lincoln.
"It's for the special guest" replied Lori.
Then coming into the room was none other than his girlfriend Jordan. But Lincoln blushes at what she's wearing. A nurse outfit, underneath she is wearing a yellow shirt and white shorts and she is also wearing a medical mask. "Hello handsome patient."
"Buh ….. Buh … Buh" Lincoln then faints.
They all gasp at this. "Wow! And I thought he had it bad for Dimartino" said Luna.
Lincoln soon regains consciousness and sees Jordan sitting next to his bed with the bowl of chicken soup.
"I was wondering when you'd wake up" said Jordan.
"Wait a minute! You're really here?!" said Lincoln. He then grabs a tissue and blows on it.
"Sure am, like I said when you took care of me. I would return the favor, so rest up Doctor Lincoln and let Nurse Jordan take care of you" replied Jordan.
Lincoln had no clue what else to say. Either this was s dream or he died and went to beautiful heaven.
Jordan then hands him the bowl of chicken noodle soup and the orange juice.
"By the way, what about our friends? And school?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh, I already informed all of them and soon they will bring our school work here" replied Jordan. "Liam was kinda shocked that you were the one who was sick after me. Same goes with Tabby."
Lincoln soon finishes his noodle soup and orange juice, Jordan takes the dishes away and places them into the kitchen sink to wash for later.
She returns upstairs and sees Lincoln headed to the bathroom, but he's still a bit exhausted so she helps him there. But she does not go in, just stands outside.
Later she helps him back to the room and onto his bed. Lincoln did notice something odd when he left the room earlier.
"Hey Jordan. Where are the others?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh, well your dad finally had enough money saved up to open his own restaurant and he already found a place for it. They're all doing renovations as we speak" replied Jordan.
Lincoln felt sad to hear this. "Sure wish I could help out."
Jordan then rubs his forehead. "Hey, they have it covered. Luna said that you should rest up, maybe once you're cured you can be able to see the place."
Jordan then grabs a glass of water and a pill and hands it to him. "Take your medicine and get some sleep. Can't have that handsome face get all sick."
Lincoln smiles and does what he's told, Jordan uses his acoustic guitar and starts strumming a soothing tune that helps him fall asleep. 'Huh, Luna was right about this tune making him sleepy.'
(Hours later)
Lincoln opens his eyes to look at the time. It was past seven o'clock and night has already fallen. He then sees the bedroom door open with Jordan with some chicken soup.
"Oh good, you're awake. You're parents called and said that they will be home late, they just need to do some finishing touches on the restaurant. Their almost done, just need to paint tomorrow" said Jordan.
"Well, that's how fast it can get when we all work together, sure wish I could've joined them" said Lincoln with a saddened tone.
"Hey now, no need for that. They don't want you hurting yourself handsome. Now eat your dinner and take your medicine then get some sleep" replied Jordan.
"As you wish Nurse Jordan" replied Lincoln teasingly.
After dinner and his medicine, Lincoln then sees Jordan come back in wearing her yellow pajamas and has a sleeping bag.
"Wait, so you're going to sleep in here?" asked Lincoln with a yawn.
"Of course silly. I am the nurse and you are my patient and I am not leaving your side till you are well again" said Jordan.
Lincoln smiles, then his eyes feel heavy and he falls asleep immediately onto his pillow. Jordan smiles at the way he just fell asleep instantly. "Sleep tight my handsome knight."
She turns off all the lights in the house, locks the doors and gets into her sleeping bag and falls asleep.
Later Vanzilla arrives, all of the loud kids head upstairs exhausted and ready for some sleep.
"I wonder how Lincoln and Jordan are doing" said Lori.
The older sisters look into Luna's room and see Lincoln asleep on the bed and Jordan also asleep in her sleeping bag.
"Aww, Looks like she really did try to nurse him back to health" said Leni.
"Well, we should all catch some Z's now, gotta finish up with dad's restaurant tomorrow" said Luna.
"Shame that Lincoln can't help out. He would've wanted to be part of the whole renovation" said Lynn Jr.
"Yeah, but we can't risk him getting hurt or having all of us sick as well" said Lori.
"Yeah, otherwise it's snot going to be a gland opening for all of us. Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan. All of them groaned in response.
Luna heads into her room and changes into her sleep wear. She then heads to the bathroom then comes back into the room.
Luna goes to Jordan and places a kiss on her forehead. "Sleep tight little J, you really are the one girl for my baby bro."
Luna then heads to her top bunk and falls asleep.
(The following day)
Lincoln's flu is dying down a bit. The boy is now sitting upright on the bed reading a comic book of Iron Man.
Jordan comes in with two sandwiches, orange juice and a soda for them to enjoy. "You're looking a bit better."
"Yeah, I guess being treated by the most beautiful nurse is helping" replied Lincoln.
Jordan blushes. "Oh stop it, but seriously what else do you have to say about me?"
Lincoln smirks and eats his sandwich, then the door is opened by Luna who looked upset.
"Hey sis. What's going on?" asked Lincoln.
"Sorry bro, it's just none of us agree with each other's plans on how to advertise pops restaurant to the people" said Luna.
"But I thought dad made some fliers" said Lincoln.
"He did, but there was a typo. Instead of "Grand" it was "Gland". All of us are trying to find a way to make his restaurant dream realized, if only we all agreed" said Luna.
"Well, what are the others ideas?" asked Jordan.
"Well, Lori said that we should add a photo booth, Leni suggested Bingo and the winner gets free appetizers, Luan said that we should perform a birthday song for whoever birthday it is and they get a free dessert, Lynn's is a promotional chicken wing eating contest, I have no clue what Lucy is up to, Lana wants to make it a place for animals to feel welcome, Lola said tea parties, Lisa's is bottomless fries and Lily just made a cute drawing. Oh and Patriot is on the restaurant roof making sure there aren't any pests coming."
Lincoln and Jordan were shocked at all of the crazy ideas they all had.
"And yours?" asked Lincoln.
"Well my idea was that I perform some music to each table to lighten the mood" said Luna.
Lincoln and Jordan had no idea what the heck was happening.
"Hey Luna, how about instead of scaring people with whatever song you have in mind. You set up a small stage near the kitchen doors and sing a nice tune that everyone will love, to lighten the mood" said Jordan.
"That actually sounds like a good idea, though what was dad's original motto?" asked Lincoln.
"Great food at a great price. Why?" said Luna.
Then Lincoln put all of the pieces of the puzzle together.
"Luna, as much as I think your idea is great and all. But the others will probably do their own thing and go all at once, the restaurant will be in chaos and chances a lot of people will leave" replied Lincoln.
Luna then realizes he was right, plus she can't just go to the restaurant every day to sing, she still had school.
"I guess your right baby bro, still I should do some good tunes to help out if the peeps get restless" said Luna. "But I don't know how to deal with the others if things go out of hand."
Then Jordan remembered something, she knows her dad has a very powerful and intense friend who just arrived to America for a visit and he might go to a restaurant for lunch with her dad, she then gets an idea.
"Let me take care of that, just get to the restaurant and tell us what's happening" said Jordan.
Luna was confused at first, but she had to trust Jordan. The girl had a plan.
"Okay little J" replied Luna. She grabs her acoustic instead of her Axe and heads out of the room and house.
"So, what's the big plan beautiful?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh you'll see" replied Jordan. She then pulls out her phone and makes a call to her dad. "Hey dad, Lynn Sr has this new restaurant he opened and I know you're meeting with one of your old friends, I was wondering if you two could head there for lunch."
"Hmm, this sounds like the louds are gonna mess up again, okay sweetie. I wanna see what my friend thinks of the place. Worst case scenario, Lynn Sr is probably gonna cry in the end" replied Rick.
Jordan then turns off her phone and heads out of the room. "Umm Jordan?" said Lincoln.
Jordan heads into the room of Lisa and Lily and spots one of Lisa's camera drones and a tablet. She brings both of them to Lincoln's room.
"Umm, what are you doing?" asked Lincoln.
Jordan turns on the drone and it flies out the window. Jordan sits next to Lincoln with the tablet in hand, both kids watch what the drone is seeing.
They soon spot the restaurant and Luna going inside. The drone follows her and which she notices.
"Huh, so this what you and Lincoln are doing. Okay just make sure Lisa doesn't see her own stuff in here" Luna says to the drone.
"So, we're going to watch what happens?" asked Lincoln. "Yup" replied Jordan.
Soon they see the whole thing turn into chaos.
Teens are there but there but they're not even ordering anything their just there for the photo booth, Leni is doing the bingo thing, Luan with two of Lynn's employees are doing a birthday song, They spot some animals roaming around and some from Liam's, Lynn Jr brought all of her friends from baseball and are waiting on the chicken wings contest, Lisa has a wheelbarrow of fries, Lola is making demands about the tea party and Lily is just asleep in a nearby crib in the kitchen.
Rita is outside helping park people's cars and a bus. But what was sadder to look at was Lynn Sr, he had no idea why there were so many Promos!
"Oh jeez, dad looks stressed out" said Lincoln. "I hope my dad shows up, it's turning into world war Loud in there!" said Jordan.
They spot Luna with her small stage looking around the place, she tries her best to calm everyone down with some music.
But then two people step into the restaurant. One was Jordan's dad. "What. Is. Happening?"
The other one is wearing a dark blue suit with a light blue shirt inside and he's speaking in British, he looks around and sees all the chaos in the restaurant. And this man looks pissed!
Lincoln looks in shock at who the friend was. "I-I-Is that."
"Gordon Ramsey" replied Jordan with a smile.
"Hey!" yelled Gordon. They all stop and Lynn Sr looks out the door and gasps. So does everyone else.
"What the Bloody Hell is going on in here?!" yelled Ramsey.
The Loud kids had no idea what to do or say.
"What the hell is all of this huh?!" yelled Gordon. Luna stands up and approaches the Chef from Hell's kitchen.
"Sir let me explain" said Luna. "Talk!" said Gordon. Soon after one long Promo chaos explanation.
Gordon looks at everyone in anger. "So, the rumors I heard from the Rosato's are true. The louds once again make things from worse to shit fucking crazy!"
Many of the adults had to cover their kid's ears. The loud sisters were shocked, Leni felt scared.
"No one can make bottomless fries! It's not possible! It's too much work!" Lisa looks away with some tears.
"Why are there Tea Parties here?! Is this bloody England?! Is the queen coming?!" Lola hid behind one of the chairs.
"Bingo in a restaurant?! What is this a retirement home?!" Leni looks down with sadness and guilt.
The elderly had no idea what to say, this man was as powerful as a god.
"Why is there a photo booth here?! This isn't a fucking mall! This isn't a fucking teenage hang out! This isn't a fucking college dorm room drug party!" Lori gasps at what he just said about her idea.
"Birthday songs?! Free Dessert?! Are you running a restaurant or Fazbear Pizzeria?! Is there an animatronic going to kill us or is your daughter's puns going to do that?!" Luan drops the plate of the dessert with a shocked look.
Then a pig sniffs Ramsey leg. Gordon moves it away. "Animals?! Really?! Go and open a restaurant in a farm and serve a plate of horse shit!" Lana also hid next to Lola.
Seeing how this was not going well, Liam decides to make his leave with his animals.
Gordon then looks to the farm boy. "If I ever see any of those animals here again, I'll be ready to serve all of them on the next master chef!"
They all gasp including Lana. One of those animals was her pig. Liam is speechless and runs for it with his animals.
"And why is there a stupid chicken wing eating contest here?! Go do it in a bloody bar! Or a stupid food contest!" Lynn Jr felt as if her ego was being stomped on by this bigger and more superior man.
Then he looks around. "Where is the Chef?!"
Lynn Sr comes out shaking scared. "Umm, here sir."
Gordon looks to see only Lynn Sr, Kotaro and Grant. "Is this all the staff you can get?! You didn't think about looking for any other people looking for a job online?!"
"Well, there were these two people. One was this crazy acting lady and the other was just a lazy teenager" replied Lynn Sr.
"And yet you let lazy teenagers go into this restaurant and make it look like the next dorm room" said Gordon.
Lynn Sr had no idea what else to say.
"You're the man who runs this place! Put your foot down god damn it! Stand up against your own daughters! Why isn't there any discipline here?!" yelled Gordon.
He then turns to Rita. "And why aren't you stopping this madness?!"
Rita had no idea what else to say. He was way more British than her husband's accent.
Gordon then looks to Lynn Sr. "You need more cooks, you need more staff and you need a person who can plan everything needed for the promotions! Instead you let your daughters run this place like it was their own home! The only one sane here is Luna!"
Luna feels a bit awkward that he mentions her to be not chaotic.
"And where is your little gloomy youngling?!" said Gordon.
They turn around to see Lucy with a camera man and Katherine Mulligan.
"Is that thing on?!" asked Gordon. "Y-Yes" replied Katherine.
"Good! Because this restaurant sucks to hell! In fact I wouldn't even send it to hell or heaven! This place is unworthy to be eaten by the like of me or anyone!" yelled Gordon.
"Whos the numbskull who helped make this place happen?!" asked Gordon.
"Umm, Timothy McCole?" replied Lynn Sr.
Gordon then pinches the bridge of his nose. "I am going to have a word with him and I will make sure every taste bud on his tongue never tastes food again!"
"That or maybe he's seen you talk right now through the news camera" said Rick.
"This restaurant is closed for the day! I want everyone out now!" yelled Gordon.
All of the customers make they're leave immediately.
Gordon then looks at the Loud family. "I will be staying here for the next three days, because the Rosato's are friends of mine."
They all gasp hearing that. Then Gordon sees the drone. "And it looks like Jordan and Lincoln is seeing us right now. You made a good call contacting your father."
The louds spot the drone. "That's my drone" said Lisa.
"That is not the issue right now. Come tomorrow I expect this restaurant to be in tip top shape and ready to serve food the way it was supposed to! No Promos and no Loud daughters running around like demons!" yelled Gordon.
Then the doors open, it was Carol Pingrey. "Hey Mr. Loud, I know this is the grand opening, but I was wondering if your still hiring?" she then sees what was happening. "Umm, am I interrupting something? And is that Gordon Ramsey?"
"You! What can you do?" asked Gordon.
"Well, I worked in three diners before. They had to let me go to cover up some costs. I'm great with waiting tables and I can cook" replied Carol.
"Good, you're hired. Lynn you have a sue chef" replied Gordon. "She'll keep in line all of the ingredients and cooking."
Lynn Sr didn't know what to say. He never thought about having another chef in the kitchen. Lori was speechless, her friend was now an employee at Lynn's Table.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ramsey" they all look at the drone that had the voice of Lincoln.
"The motto of the restaurant is "Great Food at a Great Price" the reason why it wasn't added was because all of my sisters wanted to do their own thing" replied Lincoln.
Gordon then look to Lynn Sr. "Why didn't you send out fliers?"
"Because there was a typo on it. Instead of Grand Opening it was Gland Opening" replied Luna.
Gordon Ramsey had no idea what else to say. "Good god! What the hell man?!"
"Alright I will make sure word goes out to town about the real slogan of this bloody place. But tomorrow I expect none of your children ruining this place, I know you want your kids to help out, but how can they when they can't even handle the slightest pressure of good quality restaurant manners" said Gordon.
"If your son was here with Jordan then maybe this whole thing would not have to go sinking down the drain" said Gordon. "Do I make myself clear?!"
"Good, now clean this place up and get it ready for its Grand Reopening tomorrow! And I will help supervise!" replied Gordon.
All of them get to work cleaning up the restaurant, some of the loud girls have a few tears cleaning up the place, but Gordon doesn't even care, they made all of this happen so they have to fix it.
"Well, my appetite has been quenched, but I still want seconds. How about the pizza restaurant a few blocks from here?" said Gordon.
"Well, I guess that sounds great. Then we can talk about the new Master Chef seasons you were planning" replied Rick. The two men leave the restaurant and so does the drone.
Back with Lincoln and Jordan.
"Well, that was very interesting" said Lincoln.
"Let's hope they'll figure things out when they come back" replied Jordan.
"Still, I can't believe your family is friends with Gordon Ramsey!" said Lincoln.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me and my family, something's that you will have to wait on" replied Jordan.
(Hours Later)
The Louds soon return back home, none of them wants to speak to each other. They know that Lincoln and Jordan were trying to fix the whole mess they made and they can't blame them.
They had to order take out since their dad spent the whole time crying in bed, he has never met a Chef legend before or get yelled by one. So he has no clue if this was a disgrace to his chef name or a true honor to be yelled at.
Jordan heads down stairs to get Lincoln some pizza. But Luna stops her and brings with her a large box with three slices for Luna, Lincoln and Jordan.
The rest of the sisters were a bit uneasy to the fact that Jordan had so many incredible people in their family friends. First was Peter the former roadie of KISS, next were the people of Huntington Manor and now a Chef from Hell's Kitchen.
Lynn Jr feels intimidated by Jordan, but at the same time afraid of her. As if dodge ball wasn't enough.
Later they all head for bed, they had a big day tomorrow, sort of.
Lori decides to have a sister meeting, but without Luna.
(The next day)
A lot of people showed up for the Grand Reopening of Lynn's Table and Gordon Ramsey is there to cut the red ribbon alongside Lynn Sr. though he doesn't want the loud husband near him.
With them was Lincoln (no longer sick), Jordan and Luna, as well as Rick and Jesse.
The rest of the sisters are back home, they all agreed to just watch the whole thing using Lisa's drone. Rita stayed home to watch over all of them, they were all grounded for three weeks.
They watched as the restaurant was progressing well, many customers were patient with the orders, Kotaro and Luna waited tables, Lincoln watched over to see if anyone had any trouble, Grant and Rick helped park everyone's vehicles, Jordan was checking on how many people have entered the place and keeping track on how much money was made and in the kitchen Lynn Sr is impressed at Carol and her cooking skills and with Jesse Rosato helping and Gordon Ramsey checking on the orders being sent in and supervising the place.
Many customers came and luckily some of them were the ones who were well mannered.
Stella and her family along with Chunk and Sam.
Clyde and his dads along with Penelope and her parents and Principal Huggins and Sheryl.
Tabby came along with Liam to apologize for what happened yesterday.
Lola felt upset to see Lindsey Sweetwater and some of her competition.
Francisco also was there which made Lynn Jr feel uneasy.
Some of Lori and Leni's friends were there, they ordered food and were glad the place was fixed, though they didn't wanna speak to Lori and Leni for the next two days.
Luan even sees her crush Benny and her friend Maggie.
Lisa was shocked to see her best friend Darcy.
Pop-pop and Myrtle made a return and were impressed on how things were going.
The problem was that Scoots was there and she is known to be a hard customer, but they were able to manage her demands. Especially Luna.
At the end of the day, the restaurant was a success and Lynn Sr was impressed. "This day turned out better than yesterday."
"Well, I hope you learned something from all of this, I don't want to come back here and deal with all of this chaos" replied Gordon.
"Don't you worry Mr. Ramsey, I will make sure this restaurant stays in the motto it already has" replied Lynn Sr. "Also can you sign my chef's hat?"
Gordon Ramsey looks at him with annoyance and walks back to his car. But first he speaks to Lincoln and Jordan.
"You two are a good team, make sure this relationship stays strong you two" said Gordon.
"We will sir" replied Lincoln and Jordan.
Then Gordon turns to Luna. "I respect your love for the British accent, but can you at least tone it down when you're at a concert, it sounds kinda like an insult for most of the people in town."
"I will sir and thanks for saving my dad's restaurant" said Luna.
"I did it as a favor from the Rosato's not for Lynn Sr" replied Gordon Ramsey. He then says his goodbye to them and drives off.
Lincoln and Jordan share one kiss and they soon part ways back to their homes. Looks like the restaurant is making good progress, they just hope it continues that way.
Lincoln's turn to be sick, while at the same time the Restaurant opens up. The Episode Cooked had a pretty stupid and chaotic way to make it, so I wanted to fix it with a bit of Master Chef's scariest. I do not own Gordon Ramsey, Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
