Chapter 78
(Loud House Residence)
"Lincoln! It's almost six, it's time to go" said Rita alongside her is her husband Lynn Sr.
Lincoln comes down. "Here I am, alright let's go."
"We should hurry, we don't wanna be the last ones on the sign-up sheet" said Lynn Sr.
Now normally kids would be nervous about the parent teacher conference meeting, but Lincoln is feeling confident that whatever it is Mrs. Johnson wants to talk about is nothing of a problem.
They all board Vanzilla leaving Lori and Luna in charge, it seems that Leni is at a slumber party over at Jackie's house.
"Alright, now let's get there before we're last" said Lincoln.
"Let's just hope vanzilla doesn't break down on us" said Lynn Sr. and she did. "Dang it!" they all groan.
(An hour later)
Lincoln and his parents finally made it, but there are a lot of other parents there now.
"Dang it! We got the last slot!" complained Lynn Sr. "This is gonna be a while" said Rita.
Then Lincoln sees Jordan and her parents. "Hey there my love."
Jordan giggles. "Lincoln, not in public."
"Umm, you two do it on most times in public" said Liam who was there. Same with Tabby, Stella, Rusty, Zach, Clyde, Penelope and Jordan's gals.
Then Sheryl arrives and instructs the parents to wait while she brings the kids to come to the cafeteria.
"Hey Rusty, why did your dad bring a bunch of clothes?" asked Stella.
"Oh he wants to know if Mrs. Johnson is interested in any kind of style from my dad's business, just in case the conversation isn't quite well" replied Rusty.
"Way to bring that as back up man" said Mollie.
"I'm sure my dad's won't overstress about everything in class" said Clyde.
"They will" replied everyone but Penelope.
"What about you Farm boy. Are your parents here?" asked Tabby.
"Not really, my Memaw had to come instead, she did bring Carol Anne with her. Gotta keep an eye on the pregnant goat" replied Liam.
"What?!" said Lincoln.
"I've got a bad feeling about this" said Stella nervously.
"Hey, I think that's what they always say in Star Wars" said Tabby.
They all arrive in the cafeteria and take their seats and chat among themselves. "Can't wait for tomorrow!" said Stella.
"Our first movie marathon as a group" said Tabby.
"Well, sorta. Some of us have plans" said Rusty.
Clyde still didn't feel quite comfortable with Lincoln not joining him at space camp, but at least Zach is joining.
"So Zach your parents are okay with you going with Clyde to space camp?" asked Lincoln.
"Uh huh. They said it could be a good experience for me when I actually get abducted" replied Zach.
They look at him confused. "Right!" said Stella.
"So, what are we going to do about snacks tomorrow? Should we all bring some?" asked Stella.
"No need. I have that one covered" replied Jordan. "Luv, you don't have to do that. We want to help as well" said Tabby.
"Guys, your all gonna be my guests for the movie marathon, so I insist that I should be the one making plans" said Jordan.
"Wow, pulling a page of off Lincoln's book I see" said Joy.
"What can I say, he knows plans just as well as I do" said Jordan. She then looks to Lincoln. "So, is Luan nervous about her date with Benny tomorrow?"
"She was at first, but she calmed down after she pied Lana in the face, Lori told her not to stress out, it could cause pimples" replied Lincoln.
Jordan's friends felt grossed out. "Eeew!"
"So, while our parent's are doing the whole meeting thing. What do you guys wanna do?" asked Liam.
Some of them either talk, go on with their phones or play some board games that some of them brought with them.
Just then they all hear what sounded like a goat yelling. "Oh no! Carol Anne found my chili sandwich!" said Liam. He then races out of the cafeteria and heads for the classroom.
Lincoln, Jordan and Tabby smile. "Looks like there's gonna be some goat babies" said Tabby.
"I don't get it, what's going on?" asked Zach.
"Well you see, Liam said that when Carol Anne eats anything spicy then she gives birth" said Tabby.
"We learned it when we made our third visit to his farm and met his Memaw" said Jordan.
"I didn't really think that spicy food would help goats give birth faster, usually it makes Lynn go number two" said Lincoln.
"Okay, that was too much information" said Sadie. Then they see Liam enter with the two newborn goats or kids for goat word.
"Aww!" they all said with cute trance eyes. "They're so cute!" said Jordan.
"Thanks guys, well me and my Memaw are headed back to the farm now, gotta show them to the folks and the rest of the farm crew" replied Liam.
"See you tomorrow Liam" said Lincoln. "Take care dude" said Jordan. "Make sure those little guys get lots of sleep and nourishment! And no sweets before they sleep!" said Tabby.
They all look at her confused. "What? I'm being honest" replied Tabby.
"You almost sound like a mom" said Cookie.
Then Rusty's dad arrives and looks a bit disappointed. "Alright Rusty let's get going."
"Dad? What's wrong?" asked Rusty.
"She wasn't interested in anything I had to offer. Not even Polyester" said Mr. Spokes.
"Why wouldn't she want a timeless material that doesn't shrink or wrinkles?" asked Rusty with some worry as he holds the Polyester clothing.
"Well, we should get going. Also you're not allowed to be on your bike for the next three weeks until you start making your grades better" replied Mr. Spokes.
Rusty sighs. "Aww, man!"
Soon he leaves with his dad. Then someone passes them and heads inside the cafeteria. "Stella!"
"Mom? What are you doing here?" asked Stella.
"Mrs. Johnson said it was okay to move our meeting with her" replied Stella's mom.
"What? Why?" asked Stella. "You're father got kicked by an angry mama goat" replied her mom.
"Oh no!" said Stella. She then heads out of the school with her parents.
"Well, that was unexpected" said Mollie.
"Hello" said Haiku. They all get startled by her sudden appearance.
"Wait a minute! Where did you come from?!" said Kat.
"I was here the whole time. You all just didn't notice me" replied Haiku.
"Oh, just like Lucy of course" said Jordan.
"So, are your parents here?" asked Lincoln.
"Yes, but I am not worried about anything. I've done all I could to make sure that I did not fail" said Haiku.
"Wait a minute! We've never seen you in class" said Zach.
"I am in your class, you all have never noticed me. Mrs. Johnson was the only one who knows, so surprise I guess" replied Haiku.
They're minds were now blown. They never knew Haiku was in their class room the whole time since the end of summer. They should keep an eye out for her more often.
Hours later and many of their friend shave left the cafeteria, leaving only Lincoln, Jordan and Clyde. Penelope had already left and was excited to go to space camp with Clyde.
Lincoln, Jordan and Clyde come out of the cafeteria to go and check on their parents.
They spot Mr. and Mrs. Loud still waiting and talking to Jordan's parents. "Oh hey there kids" said Lynn Sr.
"Well, you mom and I had just finished our meeting with Mrs. Johnson" said Rick.
"We are proud at how great you are at all of your grades and social skills Jordan, as usual" replied Jesse.
"Clyde, I think your dad's are in there right now" said Rita. Then the doors open and they see Harold calming down a nervous Howard.
"Dad what happened in there?" asked Clyde.
"Well we are glad that you are becoming a great student in class Clyde" said Howard.
"Then we talked to Mrs. Johnson about the many things the classroom might be lacking" said Harold.
Rita rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Here we go again." Lynn Sr also groans.
"We started asking her questions about classroom safety" said Howard.
"We have a list for it as well and read it to her" said Harold.
"Life jackets under the desk"
"The UV rays on the windows"
"Chalk dust levels"
This goes on and on and Clyde can see just how annoyed Lincoln, Jordan and they're parents were.
"Umm, dad's maybe we should get going now" said Clyde.
His dads can see they are clearly not interested in whatever nonsense they were blabbing about. "Okay then" said Howard.
"Oh by the way. Lincoln are you sure you don't want to go to space camp with Clyde, Penelope and Zach?" asked Harold.
"Yes I'm sure" replied Lincoln sternly.
The McBride's soon take their leave and make a call to Doctor Lopez.
It was now the Louds turn, Jordan and her parents decided to stay so they can hear all about Lincoln after the meeting.
And soon it was over. "So, what did she say?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, she said that you are the second smartest kid in class in par with Jordan" said Rita.
"The smartest is also tied for Clyde and Penelope" said Lynn Sr.
"She also said she got some reports from the coach that you are doing well in you physical classes" said Rita.
"Why didn't you tell us you can climb the rope son?" asked Lynn Sr.
"Because if I do, Lynn is going to want to train me even more and I do not intend to get hurt" said Lincoln.
"If she does then she'll have to answer to me" replied Jordan sternly.
"She also said that all of these new improvements were after you run in with Jordan. Word of how you two met spreads fast here" replied Rita.
Jordan remembers that she told her friends and they must've blurted it out and many of the kids heard about it, but they did not expect some of the faculty to hear it as well.
Rita was impressed. She tried so many times to get Lincoln into physical shape and she still feels bad that Lincoln got beaten up after the football game she made him go to. And it took this girl with braided ponytail to make Lincoln into something even more than what they were expecting.
"Well, we should all head home now, you two have a big day tomorrow with your friends" said Rick.
"Hey, how about we all go out together for dinner?" said Lynn Sr.
They all nodded in agreement and went to dine at Jean Juan's.
