Chapter 96
(Great Lake City)
The Casagrandes are feeling very festive.
Frida is hanging up so many beautiful Christmas decorations, though she could at least back it up a bit. She placed a freaking star on the roof of the builfing and it shines and spins as if ti were a light house, on the plus side it scares away cats.
Carl is getting ready for a big Christmas party at his work place and he is welcome to bring his wife, also he's going to be giving a speech and he is still working on it.
Rosa is making some nice hot chocolate for the rest of the familia, and the best part is that when she makes hot chocolate it gets tastier than any other. Which is why CJ and Carlos are hiding and waiting.
Carlotta went off to the thrift store with her friends, to look or anything cool or stylish for the holiday.
Bobby is in the Mercado placing sale tags on some of the products, mostly the meat, cheese and eggnog.
Hector is asleep, at the register. Are you kidding me?!
At least Sergei is awake and reading a magazine, and judging by his wide eyes, he wants to buy then. Are you kidding me?!
Lalo is playing with little Carlito.
Maria is at work, seems like someone got into an accident with thin ice. Isn't that just "chilling."
Ronnie Anne leaves her room wearing her winter clothing. Purple ear muffs and mittens, violet winter jacket and boots along with blue winter pants.
"Hey Abuela, I'm going outside now!" said Ronnie Anne as she passes by her family.
"Okay Mija, but hurry back. The hot cocoa will be ready soon" replied Rosa.
She then grabs Carlos' hand before he could try some of the hot cocoa.
"Not so fast mijo" said Rosa.
"Dang it" said Carlos. CJ quietly sneaks away.
Ronnie Anne is about to leave the apartment but then she almost gets jumped on by her BFF/GF Sid Chang.
"Hey there Santiago!" said Sid as she hugs her.
Ronnie Anne hugs her back. "And a good day to you too Bestie."
They're still starting it slowly with their relationship, no cute pet names yet. Just calling each other by their first or last names, or bestie.
"So, Lincoln and Jordan are coming?" asked Sid.
"Yup. They said they're close" replied Ronnie Anne.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Sid as she drags Ronnie Anne out of the apartment and past their neighbors.
All of the apartment has heard about the big reveal to Ronnie Anne and Sid's relationship and they are all okay with it.
Ronnie Anne and Sid are now standing at the apartments stairs, then they hear a squawking sound and look up to see Patriot.
"Hey! Patriot! Down here!" yelled Sid and Ronnie Anne.
The bird lands next to them and they see Vanzilla coming.
The van stops and coming out is Lincoln and Jordan along with Lori.
"Hey guys" said Ronnie Anne.
"Sup Ronnie Anne" said Jordan.
"We're so glad you guys could make it!" said Sid.
"Well, the fact that there is a giant star shining at the top of your apartment was easy to find. Also it had the initials Casagrande on it" replied Lori.
"What the heck is that thing anyway?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh that was from my Tia Frida, she went a bit overboard with the decorations this year" replied Ronnie Anne.
"Maybe she should tone it down a notch" said Jordan.
"Yeah, I don't see that happening. She still hasn't brought out the Santa Mariachi band out yet" replied Ronnie Anne.
They were all confused by what Ronnie Anne just said.
"I'm sorry, the what now?" asked Sid.
Ronnie Anne chuckles. "You guys will see later."
"Okay, well I'm gonna go and surprise Bobby and maybe we'll have a talk with the whole this is gonna be our first Christmas away from each other thing" replied Lori as she heads inside the Mercado.
Lincoln chuckles. "Tell him I said hi!"
"So, why did you want us to come here anyway Ronnie Anne and Sid?" asked Jordan.
"We'll explain everything at the park. Come on" said Sid.
Soon they make it to their destination, the Great Lake City Park.
"So, whats this all about guys?" asked Lincoln.
Ronnie Anne and Sid look at each other and blush. "WE went to our first date!"
"What?!" said Lincoln and Jordan.
Patriot was shocked by this that he did not see the tree and slams into it, he regains consciousness and sits on the branch.
The kids then take their seat by fountain, which is now frozen.
"You two went on a date?!" asked Jordan.
"We did!" replied Sid.
"So, how did it go?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, we're not going to be on a flashback or anything. But at first I asked Sid to a date while we were skate boarding" said Ronnie Anne.
"I was gonna do the same thing!" said Sid,
"We both said it at the same time by mistake. It was really awkward, but cute and funny" replied Ronnie Anne.
"So after we said "Do you wanna go on a date with me this Friday?" We both said where we wanna have it" said Sid.
"And as usual we said it at the same time" replied Ronnie Anne.
"Wow! Talk about in sync" said Jordan.
"So where did you guys have your date?" asked Lincoln.
Ronnie Anne and Sid looked at each other and smiled. "Amores Pizza place!"
"Oh yeah, I think we saw it when we headed here" replied Lincoln.
"I think the name of the restaurant looked romantic" said Jordan. "So, what happened next?!"
"Well, we didn't really know what to wear on our first date" said Sid.
"My cousin kept pestering me with cute clothes, but hey seem like something a boy might like. Also most of the clothes are something Carlotta would wear. Thank goodness Bobby got me out of there" said Ronnie Anne.
"Same with me. Adelaide wanted me to look like a princess or a knight. Then my mom wanted me to try and perform some kind of bird dance and finally my dad was asking if we needed a ride there, but it was only a few blocks away we could just walk!" said Sid.
"Wow! Talk about my sisters" said Lincoln.
"What did Bobby want with you anyway?" asked Jordan.
"Bobby told me that I should try to be myself. Be the girl that Sid knows and loves and try not to overdo it, we're both twelve and a same gender relationship is not what most people see every day for our age. So I went with his advice and was able to sneak away from my family. But not without a good luck charm from my abuela" said Ronnie Anne.
"What was the good luck charm?" asked Lincoln.
"A beaded bracelet. It did look nice on me, it was my color" said Ronnie Anne.
"And how did you get out of that mess Sid?" asked Jordan.
"Easy, I snuck away when they were all busy talking about how it would all go down and luckily I had some animal back up to keep them at bay" replied Sid.
"We both accidently bumped into each other when we were headed out, it was kinda awkward but we both decided to shrug it off and went to the restaurant" said Ronnie Anne.
"We just wore our normal clothes, along with some winter gear" replied Sid.
"So, you guys had your date during December?" asked Lincoln.
"The first Friday of December. We thought it would be a good start for us" said Ronnie Anne.
"So wait. You both came up with a plan for how your date would go?" asked Jordan.
"We did and it all went from smooth sailings from there" said Sid.
"We went in, ordered food and we got some Christmas special pizza!" said Ronnie Anne.
"Pepperoni, ham, bacon, stuffed cheese crust with mozzarella sticks and two large soda!" said Sid.
"We both paid for our dinner, we just didn't expect our friends Sameer, Taber and Nikki to be there" said Ronnie Anne.
"They were shocked to see us having pizza together and they never knew we were starting to become a thing" said Sid.
"What did they see that shocked them?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, me and Ronnie Anne were eating a large slice we both got some knives and cut it in the middle, it was really awkward to the fact both or hands were touching. It would be normal because we tend to touch each other when we were friends" said Sid.
"Then I gave my last mozzarella stick to Sid. She dipped it into my pizza sauce" said Ronnie Anne.
"We kinda stared lovingly into each other. Then we may have … touched hands on the table" said Sid.
"We both had some nice conversations and got to know each other even more. Then we decided to make our leave, but we were confronted by our friends" said Ronnie Anne.
"They asked us what was going on and we told them how we both have felt for each other. Nikki said she knew from the start" said Sid.
"I'm surprised she saw it first before we did" said Ronnie Anne.
"They didn't mind us becoming a thing, they respected our wishes" said Sid.
"Then we took a nice stroll at the park, which turned into a one-on-one snowball fight" said Ronnie Anne.
"I took revenge by tackling her to the ground which we both rolled down the hill and she was on top of me" Sid blushed,
Ronnie Anne also blushed.
Lincoln and Jordan smirked. They knew this is where it got intense.
"Then ... we just ... stared at each other" said Ronnie Anne.
"It was like … everything else didn't matter … like all we knew was that we were together" said Sid.
Jordan chuckles. "We get that feeling too."
"Almost all the time" replied Lincoln.
"Then I kissed Sid. Right there, on the snowy ground, me on top of her" replied Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln and Jordan's jaws dropped. They didn't expect for Ronnie Anne to make the first move.
Sid holds Ronnie Anne's hadn and blushes. "I was surprised that Ronnie Anne would kiss me first on our first date. It felt nice, though I think I made it too passionate when I kissed back."
"What do you mean made it too far?" asked Lincoln.
Then Ronnie Anne and Sid just looked into each other with a deep loving stare. Soon it was clear to both Lincoln and Jordan.
"Wow!" said Lincoln.
"That must've been feisty huh?" giggled Jordan.
Ronnie Anne staring at Sid. "Yeah, it kinda was."
Sid staring at Ronnie Anne. "At first I thought I went too far, then Ronnie Anne insisted to keep on making out."
Then Ronnie Anne and Sid inched closer and closer.
"You … wanna go for ... round two?" asked Ronnie Anne.
Sid then used both hands on Ronnie Anne's face. "You know me too well!"
Then they both made out passionately.
Lincoln and Jordan smiled. They were know smitten, purely smitten!
"And I thought Luna and Sam were like this to each other" said Lincoln.
Jordan then grabs Lincoln by his collar. "What about us?" she says with a loving look.
Lincoln also shares the same look and they also make out passionately.
Patriot just watches in awkward silence. Then he spots a squirrel and flies after it.
Soon after thirty minutes. That long?! Wow!
They all make it back to the Mercado with Patriot sitting on Lincoln's shoulder.
"How about the next time you guys come and visit Royal Woods, we can have a Triple date with Liam and Tabby?" asked Lincoln.
"Maybe we can have Lori and bobby in it as well" said Sid.
"I don't think so, Bobby and Lori would probably want to go somewhere for their age. But we should totally hang out with Liam and Tabby" said Ronnie Anne.
"Now that sounds like a plan" said Jordan.
"So, what happened after you got your memories back Lincoln?" asked Sid.
"Well, Luna kept watching over me and trying to keep me safe and it was only 24 hours after the incident. But I told her to mellow it down a notch, she accepted it. But it didn't stop he from trying to comfort me at night when she felt lonely" replied Lincoln.
"They now have a morning hug routine when they wake up" said Jordan.
"It's Luna's way of saying how much she cares for me and wants me to always be her little bro" replied Lincoln.
"Now that sounds so sweet! Like when Adelaide was very little and she needed a good morning kiss from me" said Sid.
Then they spot Lori and Bobby coming out of the Mercado.
"Hey Little Loud and Little Rosato. You guys must've had a fun time hanging out with each other" said Bobby.
"We did and they told us what happened on their date" said Lincoln.
"Wait, Date?" asked Lori.
Then she sees Lincoln looking towards Ronnie Anne and Sid.
"O-M-Gosh! They had their first date? When?" asked Lori.
The kids smiled. "Maybe we should talk about this inside" said Jordan.
"How about some of my Abuela's Hot Chocolate?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"Oooh! Sounds sweet Ronnie" said Sid.
Ronnie Anne blushes hearing Sid say that.
They all head into the Apartment and they tell Lori about what happened, Lincoln couldn't wait to tell his sisters, friends and Sam when they got back home to Royal Woods.
The idea of Ronnie Anne and Sid's date was from one of my readers "Hitagalic" his original idea was for me to make a spin-off, but I was not in the mood to make another story. I already have my hands full with two stories. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
