Chapter 77
(Royal Woods Elementary, Monday)
The bell has rung and all of the students are in the hallways putting their books away into their locker.
Lincoln and Jordan had just finished a quiz in Mrs. Johnson's, they seem very confident. The other however don't.
And not because of the quiz, because earlier when all of the students have made it to school, Clyde McBride made an announcement that shocks himself.
Coach Pokawski has moved dodge ball to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. To all of the kids this was a total shocker, also Clyde fainted after making all of the morning announcements.
The only ones who were feeling pumped up for this was none other than the dodge ball queen Jordan and her king Lincoln.
Ever since they started dating, Lincoln has also become a fear to beware in gym. Thanks to Jordan he was more confident to get physically fit in the one class he used to hate.
Now back to the present.
"So, Dodge ball my queen?" asked Lincoln teasingly.
Jordan giggles. "Oh you know it my king!"
They then spot their friends headed for the gym, they soon catch up to them.
"Hey guys, you ready for this?" asked Lincoln.
Many of them aren't quite sure. Except for Liam, Tabby and Stella.
"To be honest I was a little shocked that coach moved Dodge ball" said Stella.
"At least some of us can throw like aces" said Tabby.
"This is gonna be my ….. Third time to make a good throw?" asked Liam.
"I think it is. Just pretend you're doing ring toss or throwing a ball at the summer fair" said Jordan.
"I always do" replied Liam.
"I'm pretty sure some of us aren't going to make it" said Kat.
"With Lincoln and Jordan on the same side, which is happening a lot there is no stopping them" said Mollie.
"I'm on their side" said Cookie.
"Same" said Joy.
"How are you two so synced?" asked Sadie.
"Maybe it's because their dating?" said Tabby.
"She makes a good point" said Mollie,
They then turn to Lincoln's friends. They don't reply, instead they just look to the ground in misery. Penelope is trying to keep Clyde calm.
Lincoln sighs. "Hey, at least you guys can use the snake formation."
"Yeah, because the rest of the scorpion formation is history" said Rusty.
"This isn't gonna be easy, as usual" said Zach.
"Principal huggins said that making this big change to dodge ball seems necessary, like what the Writing club was going through" replied Clyde.
"Perhaps we can make an excuse for you?" asked Penelope.
"No, no. I am the junior administrator, so being honest is my number one degree for now" replied Clyde.
"Okay man. Whatever you say" said Zach.
They then enter the gym and go their separate ways and into their changing rooms.
"See you in the battlefield" said Jordan. Lincoln chuckles. "You too beautiful."
After an hour of changing they all walk out of the changing rooms and are now in their gym clothes.
Coach then blows his whistle. "Alright kids! Line up!"
They all do as they are told. "Alright listen up, today we'll be doing dodge ball, but you all now from the announcement. By the way thank you McBride."
"Just doing what I have to do as junior administrator" replied Clyde happily.
"Any who, let's do this. So everyone get to whichever team you wanna be on starting … now!" said Coach.
Clyde didn't even feel like being on the same team as Lincoln, same with Zach and Rusty. So they sided with the team of Poppa Wheelie. "Hey guys, glad to be on the same side."
"Yeah" replied Flat tire. "Umm, you guys know we're gonna get creamed right?" asked Zach.
"Yeah, we know" replied Poppa wheelie miserably.
They all get into teams and get ready for coach to blow the whistle. "Okay, teams are set so … (Whistle sound.)
They all start grabbing balls and throwing.
"Snake formation!" yelled Rusty. Behind him is Zach, Clyde and Penelope. But then Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire get in front of them.
"Mind if we join?" asked Poppa Wheelie. "this sure is no different from the bike ride lines we do!" said Flat Tire.
They al coordinate with ease as they dodge all incoming projectiles.
"Hey, this is actually working!" said Rusty. "We haven't even been hit!" said Zach.
"Thanks to combined effort" said Penelope. "We might actually win this" said Clyde.
"See told ya so" said Poppa Wheelie. But then he gets hit in the gut.
"Oh no" said Flat Tire. He then gets hit in the face.
"I spoke too soon!" said Clyde. He takes a hit for Penelope. She rushes over to him. "Are you okay?"
"I took one for you Penelope" said Clyde with a weak smile. "Aww" replied Penelope. But then she gets hit.
"Looks like McBride and Penelope are out!" said Coach. "Also, see you later at the meeting Clyde."
"Wouldn't wanna miss it" replied Clyde, then he goes back to groaning.
"This is bad man!" said Rusty. Then he gets hit.
"And we're done" said Zach. Then he gets hit.
"Nailed it!" yelled Mollie.
"That was for last week's gum blowing on me Spokes!" yelled Sadie.
"Nice one girl!" said Joy.
Meanwhile Lincoln and Jordan are dodging and throwing in style.
"On your left!"
"Heads up!"
"Watch it now"
"Incoming!"
"Too close!"
"Got your back!"
They Dodge, Roll, catch, intercept, jump over the other, grab each other, pass the ball, side step and make a throw. It almost looked like they were freestyle dancing.
"Watch out farm boy!" said Tabby as she grabs Liam to the side.
"Thanks darling" said Liam. He grabs a ball and throws it and makes a score.
Stella garbs a ball and throws, she dodges, grabs another one and throws.
This goes on and on, till Lincoln and Jordan have made so many hits and nope they did not hit Rusty, Zach, Clyde and Penelope.
But they do land more strikes on other kids.
After an hour of annihilation, all are exhausted and groaning in pain.
Coach blows his whistle. "Team wheelie is down and team Rosloud wins."
They all looked at the coach in confusion. "What? I like to name the teams depending on who's been leading and who took the first hit" replied Coach.
Lincoln and Jordan cheer with their team. Then they look towards Rusty and the others who were down.
"You guys okay?" yelled Lincoln. They all groaned in response. "I guess that's a yes" replied Stella.
(Cafeteria)
After having a run in with the nurse in her office all of them enjoy lunch.
Penelope thinks it was time to show Lincoln something.
"Excuse me Lincoln, but Clyde and I were wondering if you'd like to be part of space camp this weekend?" asked Penelope.
"It's gonna be awesome! Just like Starship Grouper!" said Clyde.
Lincoln swallows his food. "Sorry Clyde, but I have plans on Saturday and Sunday and it doesn't have anything to do with my sisters."
"What? But what could be more important than that?" asked Clyde.
"Lincoln and I are going on a movie marathon at my place" replied Jordan.
"We're gonna be watching a lot of Star Wars movies" replied Lincoln.
"Is that like Starship grouper?" asked Zach.
"I've heard of it, it's got a lot of awesome fans around the world! I've seen episode one and two, but I never got to see the rest" replied Stella.
"She's not wrong" replied Tabby. "My parents told me they saw it a long time ago, which was their first date. They said the music is very nice."
"Hmm, I would love to watch it too" said Liam.
"I guess we're all settled. We can watch at my place, like a friends movie marathon" said Jordan.
"I guess we can join too" said Mollie.
"It could be fun" said Joy.
"I hope there's romance in it" said Cookie.
"Trust me luv's. There is going to be some romance" replied Tabby. My parents did tell me, but didn't spoil all of it."
"Would love to see some reruns" said Stella.
"I think I read online that the final one is coming this December" said Sadie.
"It is and that's why we're doing this movie marathon thing" said Lincoln.
Clyde looked a bit disappointed at what was happening. Penelope didn't like seeing him like this, but trying to reason against Lincoln wouldn't be such a good idea. One thing Clyde is, is not starting up an argument.
"Wish I could come, but my parents are planning on a family trip" said Rusty.
"Maybe I can go to space camp with you Clyde" said Zach.
At least that made him happy.
"Well, I hope you two have fun" said Lincoln.
Hearing that didn't quite help.
(After school)
Lincoln and Jordan share a final kiss before going to their rides.
"Excuse me Lincoln" said Lisa who was sitting next to him in vanzilla.
"Oh, hey Lisa. How was class?" asked Lincoln.
"Less tolerable, at least having Darcy there was worth the while" said Lisa. "Anyway, I overheard you and your associates planning on a theatrical involvement this Saturday."
Lincoln looks at her confused.
"I wish to join you in your movie marathon" said Lisa. "I heard what you said about the title, perhaps there can be some physics to this that could help me learn more about advancements in space exploration."
"Sure thing sis" replied Lincoln.
Then Lola, Lana and Lucy hop into vanzilla.
Lincoln noticed all of his sisters are here, but Lynn wasn't. "Umm, Lori. Where's Lynn?"
Lori sighs. "Okay, listen up. When we get back, Lincoln, Leni and Luna are in charge. I have to head back to the middle school to pick up mom and LJ."
"What happened?" asked Lucy.
"Let's just say Lynn got into a fight with a student who mocked that she can't be able to win for the team" replied Lori.
"I wonder how she took him down" said Lana.
"You mean her" said Lisa.
"How do you know that?" asked Luna.
"I had my reason to believe it was a female student who taunted Lynn" replied Lisa.
They all drive back to the Loud House.
