Chapter 81
(Royal Woods Elementary, Monday)
Vanzilla arrives and drops off Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa.
Soon Lincoln is intercepted by Jordan, which is the usual thing between them, for the Loud sisters it was still cute.
The kids head into the squirrel, though Lincoln and Jordan could tell Lisa was not looking forward to this day.
"Everything okay Lis?" asked Lincoln. "You seem more depressed than me" said Lucy.
Lisa sighs in defeat and confesses. "Today we have to …. Make Turkey hand cutouts."
They all look at her confused. "Why is this a problem to you?" asked Lana.
"Well, to all of you it seems easy. But I for one am a woman of science not a little girl who would tolerate in this lower level of knowledge crafting" replied Lisa.
"Lisa, just because you're smart doesn't mean you can't be a part of artistic like things. Lucy has her poetry writings, Lana can be creative in the dirt and Lola is creative in her own pink way" said Jordan.
"And no one can challenge me in that" replied Lola.
"Yeah, what about the hand Turkey's we all made from Thanksgiving?" said Lincoln.
"We all made them and we always use them as decorations every Thanksgiving" replied Lana.
Lisa straightens her glasses. "True I may have gotten involved into that one, but that was before I was sent to school and I wanted to make mother proud at how creative I can be."
"See, you already have that creativity. Maybe you can share it with Darcy and you two can be creative together" replied Lincoln.
Lisa sighed. "Fine, but I'm doing this just because my class associate is there to calm me if I defy those odds."
"I really question why you and Darcy are friends" said Lucy.
Soon they all go their separate ways.
They see some of their friends already at their lockers and chatting.
"Hey guys" said Lincoln and Jordan.
"You two looking forward to Thanksgiving this week?" asked Stella.
"Sure am, we haven't told the rest of my family about the big surprise yet" replied Lincoln.
"You're not the only ones mates! My family agreed to have Thanksgiving over at Liam's!" said Tabby.
"We already have a turkey ready and no it's not the Turkey we have on the farm, her names Charlotte. She's family, this one is Charlotte's meaner sisters from my uncle. He hates that turkey and has been waiting all year to have her in the stove" replied Liam.
They all have no clue how to respond to that one.
"Umm, how many cousins does Charlotte have?" asked Sadie.
"Huh, I don't really know. My pa said that when he was in his teen years, he and his three other brothers were each given a Turkey chick to raise. Each Turkey chick was fifteen" replied Liam.
"So, your dad only has one out of fifteen?" asked Kat.
"He was the eldest, so he only got one. The first hatch and that was Charlotte" replied Liam.
"And the other fourteen?" asked Joy.
"Probably with my two uncles" then he realized something. "Oh, so that's why Charlotte's siblings are mean, she was chosen and the first hatch."
Then they spot Rusty looking down in sadness. "You okay dude?" asked Stella.
Rusty sighs. "Not really, even though I can't ride my bike till I get my grades back up. But it turns out I can't go and have fun until I do so, also my dad wants me to help him out more when I have free time."
"Ouch, that sounds harsh" replied Lincoln.
"To me that sounds like more good old hard work" said Liam with a smile.
"Easy for you to say. Plus we're going to have Thanksgiving over at my cousins, his dogs hate me" replied Rusty.
Then they all spot Zach, Clyde and Penelope.
"Looks like their back from space camp" said Tabby.
"Hey guys! Aw man! You should've been there Lincoln! We got to try out zero gravity!" said Zach.
"We had an amazing time with the flight simulator and what to do when the shuttle is damaged" replied Penelope.
"We got to try so many cool things and learn so much about space travels" said Clyde. "Lincoln, you missed out on so much fun!"
But Lincoln didn't feel left out at all. "Well, I'm glad you all had fun."
"We had an awesome time watching the Star Wars movies! And later at lunch we're all going to be watching the Star Wars final movie trailer on Jordan's tablet!" replied Cookie.
"Can't wait to watch it on the big screen for when it comes out!" said Stella.
Clyde didn't quite understand. Lincoln seemed pretty okay with his weekend.
"Hey Lincoln, did you get the pictures I sent you?" asked Clyde.
"Yeah, and you kept sending them over and over and over and over again" replied Lincoln with an annoyed look.
"Well, what did you think? Pretty cool right?" asked Penelope. But Zach could tell this was going to get out of hand. "I'm gonna go stand next to Rusty."
Lincoln sighs. "I'm happy you guys got to go and you got to stop this whole trying to get-me-to-go-back-to-being-my-old-self-stick. It' getting pretty annoying."
"Yeah, seriously he had to keep his phone on silent and turn off vibrate mode to watch the movie" replied Jordan.
"He needs to make sure his sisters are okay and you just kept sending him pictures of you in space camp" replied Liam.
"What are you talking about?" replied Clyde nervously.
Lincoln knew one thing that could help him. "Shouldn't you be doing the daily school announcements?"
Clyde then realizes. "Oh gosh! I gotta go!" he rushes to Huggins office all the while changing into his junior administrator's uniform and Penelope wasn't far behind.
"Wow! Nice save there man" replied Kat.
"He knows Clyde too well, but Clyde doesn't know him too well anymore" replied Tabby.
"I just hope he can one day learn to accept change" said Lincoln.
"He takes all those therapy sessions with Dr. Lopez like he's doing right or something" said Jordan.
"He needs a better person for that job" said Rusty.
"So, Zach how was some of Space camp?" asked Lincoln. The others looked at him with crossed arms.
It was time for Zach to come clean. "The food was way worse than cafeteria food. I had no idea what the heck was I eating! We had to sleep upside down! It felt like being in an alien abduction sack! The Space toilet was scary, I thought I was getting abducted for the wrong purposes."
"Wow, that must've been pretty intense for you man" said Rusty.
"I should've joined you guys in watching the Star Wars movies" said Zach.
"Maybe you can watch it at your own house" said Mollie.
"I wish, my parents might go paranoid and think I've been consumed by aliens to watching something of their creations" replied Liam.
Soon they all hear the school bell ring, it was time for first period and they all head to Mrs. Johnson's class room and this time they all see Haiku there, no jump scares necessary.
(Lunch Time, Cafeteria)
Lincoln and his friends are eating lunch, well Lincoln, Jordan, Stella, Liam, Tabby, Mollie, Kat, Sadie, Joy and Cookie had already finished eating and are now gathered near Jordan to see the Star Wars trailer, also Lisa was with them.
Clyde, Penelope, Rusty and Zach are still eating their lunch while watching their friends watching the tablet.
"Man, they must really wanna watch that movie when it comes out" said Rusty.
They hear some sounds from the tablet and some gasps from the Star Wars watchers. Then when the trailer ends they hear a maniacal laugh.
Lincoln and the others had shocked faces. "W-W-What?!" said Lincoln.
"H-How?!" said Jordan.
"I thought he died!" said Stella.
"We just saw him get thrown away by his own apprentice!" said Tabby.
"That gave me chills" said Liam.
"I think he's the real bad guy, again" replied Kat.
"Great, now we're gonna see emperor wrinkly ugly face again" said Cookie.
"Why is he back?!" said Mollie.
"There are going to be a lot of cheers in the theater when we watch this" replied Sadie.
Lisa then comes up with a theory. "Do any of you recall what Palpatine said to Anakin about his master?"
They all figured it out. "That sneaky old man" said Tabby.
"Guess he learned how to live forever" said Jordan.
"Well, that was just the teaser trailer, now let's see the second trailer" said Lincoln.
And soon they finish watching it. "Now that is intense and awesome!" said Lincoln.
"She threw that light sabre like she was a boss!" said Jordan.
"That army of ships was scary" said Liam.
"It doesn't matter since they have an army as well" said Tabby.
"Another battle between Rey and Kylo!" said Mollie.
"Seeing those old scenes from the old movies was so touching" said Joy.
"All of those generations" said Kat.
"Still sad to see the ones who became evil" said Cookie.
"It was kinda sad to see Carrie Fisher. She was the best butt kicking princess to have ever lived!" said Sadie.
"I have to agree, but at least we get to see Lando come back and fly his ship again" said Stella.
Lisa wipes a tear from her eye. "Let us not let what we saw come into play. Chances we will see the actual truth when we watch the movie."
"Okay guys. Final trailer time and they said that this one is awesome and mind blowing" said Jordan.
"Then let's see it" replied Lincoln. They all go back to the tablet and watch.
Soon when they finish they almost have some tears.
"That was beautiful!" said Lincoln.
"And what 3PO said. Just sad" said Jordan.
"One heck of a space battle it's gonna be" said Stella.
"To moving guys, just too moving" said Joy.
"I didn't know they even had horses there. That's something awesome!" said Liam.
"And the soundtrack! Truly brilliant! Just brilliant!" said Tabby.
"What was Rey and Kylo destroying?" asked Mollie.
"I loved hearing they're voices narrating" said Kat.
"The hug between Leia and Rey. So beautiful" said Cookie.
"I think Palpatine aka Lord Sidious is the one behind all of those dark conspiracies. He is truly a master mind in everything. As through all the movies, he said he foresaw the deaths of all of his apprentices and generals. Perhaps what Vader did was something her did not foresee" replied Lisa.
Jordan then puts her tablet away. "Well, that was fun. We still have time before the next class."
"We can go to the playground and just relax there" said Lincoln.
"Sounds like a plan, I could use some fresh air" said Liam.
"Same here mate" replied Tabby.
"Darcy is also there, I better go and see what she might be up to" said Lisa.
The others also agreed and left the cafeteria, leaving Clyde, Penelope, Rusty and Zach a little confused at what just happened.
Penelope saw the concern on Clyde's face. "Don't worry Clyde, I'm sure all of this Star Wars stuff will blow off soon."
"I hope so, I miss Ace" replied Clyde. Rusty and Zach decided to walk away slowly it was getting awkward.
Soon school was over and all the students we either headed home or off to have some fun. Luckily Lincoln and his friends and Jordan's gals have no homework or anything important to do.
Jordan decided to join her friends at the mall for some girl time, Lincoln said he had to take Lisa somewhere important.
Rusty was picked up by his piano teacher so he could get to his lessons and Zach was picked up by his parents as well. Liam and Tabby went off to the arcade with Stella.
Vanzilla comes into view. "Hey guys, so how was school?" asked Lori.
"No need to bring us home Lori. Lisa and I have somewhere else to go today, we'll see you guys at home later" replied Lincoln.
"Yes, what we're going to do is what happened yesterday" replied Lisa.
"Whatever" said Lola as she boards vanzilla.
"I have to get to Flips and see if he has anything good in his dumpster" said Lana.
"I need to go and check how my bats are doing, chances they'll be ready to hibernate. Sigh" said Lucy.
Luna then gets out. "Go ahead guys, I'll escort little bro and sis home later."
"Okay, then. See you three later" said Lori. Vanzilla soon drives away.
Luna follows Lincoln and Lisa. "So, where are we off to?"
"Well, Lisa and I made a call last night to one of the local toy stores" said Lincoln.
"Indeed and the owner of the Toy Chest zone said that he had what we wanted and had it well reserved, we just have to make sure we have the right pay for it" replied Lisa.
"Thankfully, Lisa and I have saved a lot of cash and we're both gonna split the bill" replied Lincoln.
Luna was impressed. "Wow! You two are bonding quite nicely, I'm proud of both of you. So what was it you two wanted there anyway?"
Lincoln and Lisa smiled. "You'll see" said Lincoln. "I for one cannot wait, I feel excited" said Lisa.
What they don't know is that they are being followed by Clyde and Penelope and they're using the junior administrator golf cart.
"Where do you think they're going?" asked Penelope.
"I don't know, I didn't even hear them right and this could be more complicated with Luna by his side" replied Clyde.
(Toy Chest Zone)
Luna is waiting by some video games that involved rock and roll (Guitar Hero) then she sees Lincoln and Lisa come out of the back with the store owner and with a very big box. Lincoln and Lisa split the payment and get the receipt.
They were told that the toy was in the back since last year and that it was never touched and he had other toys similar to it if they ever want one, one day. The two of them will think about it.
Soon it was time for them to go. "So, what's in this box?" asked Luna.
Lisa brought with her one of her inventions just in case for something like this. It was a small robot that had four spider like legs and a flat top and can carry anything between three hundred to five hundred pounds.
"It's just something Lisa and I can do later and probably tomorrow and the day after tomorrow" replied Lincoln.
"Cool" replied Luna.
Clyde and Penelope were still following them. "So, what do you think it is?" asked Penelope.
"Probably something from that Star Wars thing. And Lisa's part of it!" said Clyde.
"Well, what should we do?" asked Penelope.
"Well, either we confront them and ask them what's in the box or we continue following them" replied Clyde. "But both of those plans won't work."
"What do you mean Clyde?" asked Penelope. "How could they fail?"
"Well, first off Luna's there and secondly I don't want to be a jerk, especially if Lisa is around" said Clyde.
"You must have some kind of plan" said Penelope.
"I don't, Lincoln is usually the one with the plans and right now I've got nothing. I miss him" replied Clyde.
Penelope still didn't like seeing her love miserable. She wanted to do something, to make him happy again and currently antique auctions are closed until December.
So, she steps out of the golf cart. "Loud!"
Lincoln, Lisa and Luna turn around. "Yes?"
They see it was Clyde's girlfriend Penelope. "I want to know why you're not having some friendly moments with Clyde. You two used to be inseparable!"
Lincoln groaned in annoyance. "And now you're at it as well, I knew something like this was gonna happen."
"Come on little dude, lay off Lincoln" said Luna in annoyance. "The more you do this the more it won't end well" replied Lisa.
"You were the fun loving boy who loved Ace Savvy, AARGH!, Starship Groupers and Muscle Fish and all kinds of things with Clyde. What happened?" said Penelope.
"Penelope stop!" yelled Clyde.
Lincoln notices him. "I'm gonna guess you two followed us."
"Not cool dudes" replied Luna. "That is another term for stalking and it is obviously a violation to someone's personal space" said Lisa.
"Come on Lincoln. I wanna know what changed!" said Penelope.
Lincoln doesn't respond and instead looks to Clyde. "You have got to put your foot down when she goes too far."
They then walk away. But Penelope wasn't having it and she walks towards Lincoln and force him to turn around. "I am not done talking to you!"
Then Luna pushes her away from him and gets between them. "Leave my bro alone!"
Then Lisa also steps in but Lincoln keeps her behind him. "I'm not having my little sisters get tangled up in my conflicts Lisa."
Lisa understood and stayed close to the wagon with the box.
"Why can't you and Clyde be best friends again? You just gave the title to Liam and he never even knew you from the start. What does he have that Clyde doesn't?" said Penelope.
Lincoln steps in front of Luna. "After everything I've been through, I found the one girl who can truly like me for who I am and helped me get through tough times, if I had never met Jordan then bad things could've happened and my bond with Luna would've never been stronger than it is now. I wanna make more good memories with all my sisters if I can and Jordan will be there to back me up, because unlike some kids. She doesn't freak out at other confrontations, she also has a plan tactical mind, she made me toughen up, she showed me things I have never even knew and can survive whatever all of my sister's throw in the way, even the Casagrandes."
Luna and Lisa were shocked at this, Lincoln was standing up without the need of his sisters.
"As for Liam. I made him my best friend because we have some common ground that Clyde doesn't. Liam may be an only child but he has a big family and most of them are farm animals, he's hard working and persistent when it comes to chaos in the farm. That's why he's my best friend, sorry Clyde" said Lincoln.
Clyde fully understands, Penelope was shocked by this. "So, there's anything else Lincoln?" asked Clyde.
"After what's happened today, I need some space away from you Clyde" said Lincoln.
"I understand, sorry about her Lincoln" said Clyde. He then walks away with Penelope, she was about to say something but Clyde wanted her to not say a word. He needs some quiet time.
Lincoln then looks back to his sisters. "Let's go home guys." He says with a smile.
Luna and Lisa were amazed, though they should thank Jordan. She was the one who made him who he was now.
(Loud House)
Luna is in the living room telling the other sisters about what happened earlier and most of them are not pleased, mostly Lori and Lynn Jr.
Meanwhile Lincoln and Lisa are in Lincoln's room opening the box and marvel at it.
"Look at that sis" said Lincoln.
"We finally have it" said Lisa.
"And it only took us 424 bucks!" said Lincoln.
"The Lego Death Star!" they both say in unison.
"And it's only (looks at the number) 75,159 pieces!" said Lincoln.
"Well, looks like we have our work cut out to make this one" said Lisa.
"How about this, we can start on this tomorrow and if we have any plans like experiments, inventing or homework, then we put the build on hold and do it when we have free time. How's that?" said Lincoln.
"Now that is one smart plan Lincoln" replied Lisa. "We just need to make sure none of our sisters break it."
"No need to worry Lisa. It's safe here in my room" replied Lincoln.
"By the way, I have not seen Patriot in a while. Where is he?" asked Lisa.
"Didn't you remember from yesterday? The fishing season is almost over, so dad and his friends with Patriot went fishing. They should be back by now" said Lincoln.
They all head a car arrive and see it was Kotaro's van. Patriot flies into the house with a basket of fish and Lynn Sr comes out of the van with a bucket of fish and he looks like a mess.
"Looks like we're ordering take out tonight" said Lincoln.
Just a little something since the last chapter. Looks like Lincoln and Lisa have some fun bonding time assembling the second deadliest weapon in the galaxy. Hope you all liked it, please leave a review.
