Chapter 102
(The Loud House)
Lincoln is in his room tuning his hand-me-down guitar and Luna tuning her own axe.
"This is gonna be sweet for when New Year's Eve hits huh bro?" said Luna.
"You got that right sis" replied Lincoln.
What is happening in the Loud House, Lincoln and Luna are both in their room, Luan is changing Lily's diaper, Lori is watching TV alongside Lola, Lisa has just left the bathroom and is headed downstairs, Lynn Jr is in her room doing some push-ups, Lucy is in the vents as usual and Leni is opens the fridge to rehear the Goulash their parents left for them.
Lynn Sr and Rita are both at aunt Shirley's for the weekend she needs some help since she's moving elsewhere.
But just as Leni is about to reheat the food their dad left for them, Lana opens the front door.
"Guys! Guys! Guys! Come here now!" yelled Lana.
And as usual the whole house heard it.
They all come down the stairs and into the living room.
They all spot Leni carrying the pot with the left over goulash.
"Umm Leni, what are you doing with that?" asked Lucy.
"I was about to reheat dinner, Dad did leave us his left over goulash" said Leni.
"Forget the goulash! My favorite racecar driver Bobbie Fletcher is holding a contest tonight at the Burpin' Burger!" replied Lana. "Whoever gets the burger with the tire marked wrapper gets to be an honorary member of her pit crew!"
And she daydreams about being part of Bobbie Fletcher's pit crew.
Then she goes back into reality. "I know what you're gonna say. Mom and Dad left us plenty of food while their away for the weekend but-"
Then she hears a car horn and looks outside to see all of her siblings inside of Vanzilla.
"You had us at Burpin' Burger!" yelled Lincoln.
"Plus, I could use a quarter pound of meat right about now" said Lynn Jr.
Lucy hears this and knows how it ends with Lynn and lots of food. "Dang it!"
Lana then grabs her coat and her pet frog hops.
Then she races out of the house with cheer and into Vanzilla.
Then Lisa comes out in distress. "Siblings, I'd like to call your attention to the rapidly descending ice crystals. Street name "Snow".
"Fine Lis, you could stay here and eat the goulash" replied Lana.
Lana then gets pushed aside by Lisa who gets in quickly. "I call shotgun!"
Lincoln whistles for Patriot who was on the roof watching at the distance again.
The eagle gets out of his trance and flies into Vanzilla with them.
"What the heck are you doing up there buddy?" asked Lincoln.
The eagle doesn't respond, but instead looks out the window.
Lisa does notice this. "This could be a sign from our large avian predator companion that something is bound to happen."
"Come on Lisa, don't be too much into your whole science with animals things" said Lola.
"It's called Biology and it is very important" replied Lisa.
They all then drive off to the Burpin' Burger.
(Burpin' Burger)
They all make it to the restaurant and see a large stage and hear the announcer introduce in Racecar driver Bobbie Fletcher.
Lana is so excited to see her.
Then Lincoln and Luna look at the large crowd.
"Wow! Looks like a lot of people showed up here" said Lincoln.
"Probably because they want a shot at the whole burger winning thing too dude" said Luna.
Then they spot a familiar kid.
"Hey Stella! Over here!" yelled Lincoln.
The girl goes to them. "Hey guys, it's actually good to see you all."
"What are you doing here anyway?" asked Luna.
"Oh, well I just finished a small trip to the mall and then I realized I forgot to eat something so I decided to come her for dinner and to bring some home. My dad isn't feeling well" replied Stella.
"Oh, sorry to hear that" said Lori.
"What are his symptoms I might ask?" asked Lisa.
"No need for that Lisa. He just has a small cold, it started on Thursday, but I'm sure it'll be gone soon" replied Stella.
"So, are you here for the contest as well as take out?" asked Lynn Jr.
"I have no clue who the racecar lady is, I'm just here for the food and they won't open until this whole thing starts" replied Stella.
"Well, I hope everyone else will have to get in line. Because we're winning that thing!" said Lana.
Then they heard Bobbie Fletcher give the go signal and everyone heads into the Burpin' Burger at full speed.
Stella was shocked to see this and lucky to not be caught in that ravenous stampede.
So she just walks in there without even running. "Wow! These guys really want burgers!"
Inside they all get in line and order and the employee was none other than one of Lori and Leni's guy friends Tad. Since Grant now works for Lynn Sr at Lynn's Table.
The Louds are about to get in front, but they get cut off by Flip who orders a dozen burgers and demands one of them to be the winner, but not for the whole pit crew thing. He just wants the winning wrapper to sell, what a jerk!
Flip then gets his order and starts tearing through all of the burgers.
Lana is worried and starts whispering. "No wrapper! No wrapper! No wrapper!"
"Dang it! All Losers! Keep those burgers cooking slim, because I'll be back for more once I scratch up some more moolah!" said Flip. He then leaves the restaurant.
Then the Louds get in line.
"We'd like eleven big belchers and one baby belcher please!" said Lana.
"Alright loud, that'll be 26.50" said Tad.
Lincoln was about to get some of his extra cash from his coat, but then Lana interrupts. "Don't worry guys, I got this."
She reaches into her pocket and pulls out some things in there. "Let's see, my gum collection, banana peel, owl's foot. Oh! Here it is!"
She then hands Tad the coupon. "Oh, one of kids eat free coupons, great." Then Tad stops. "Wait! Did you just say owl's foot?!"
"Yeah, isn't she a hoot? Hahahaha!" said Luan.
Tad groans in annoyance. "Next!"
Stella comes next in line and orders four large belchers and four fries.
Soon the Louds are now seated and Stella passes by them. "Well, I gotta get going. Good luck with the contest guys."
"Bye Stella" they all replied as she leaves the restaurant.
Lana then realized. "Did she order some belcher burgers?"
"Not sure Lana, we didn't see much when she left. Also they were in a bag" said Lincoln.
Lana was a bit worried. 'I hope so.' She says in her thoughts.
Then Lana hears their order call and heads to the counter and grabs the tray of burgers, she then returns and places it all onto the table.
"Alright guys, dig in" said Lana.
They each grab a burger and start unwrapping and eating.
Soon they all finish eating they're burgers and so does Patriot who burps loudly.
"Whoa! Nice one!" said Lynn Jr.
Lana searches through all of the wrappers and sadly she finds nothing.
"Sorry we didn't find the winning wrapper Lana" said Leni as she tries to comfort her.
Hops also tries to comfort Lana and wipes away her lone tear with his tongue.
"The Frozen Precipitation is approaching rapidly" said Lisa as she looks out the window. "I suggest we skedaddle."
"Lisa's right guys, we should all get home now" said Lincoln.
Lana then interrupts. "Wait! Don't you guys want another round?"
Lynn then realizes what she just said. "We can have seconds?"
"But how are we gonna pay for it?" asked Lucy.
Lincoln is about to reach into his jacket, but once again he's interrupted by Lana.
"I got this guys!"
Soon she hides behind a garbage can and with the help of hops, create a diversion and snags the free coupon from the register.
She then goes to the register and hands Tad the coupon.
Soon she returns with another round of burgers.
"Round two! Yeah baby!" yelled Lynn Jr.
Patriot smells his burger and goes predator on it.
"He sure likes the food" said Lori.
Soon they all finish eating and are just too full, so is the eagle. Turns out the Belchers are enough to make him full, probably for the next two days. But he's happy.
"Still nothing! We have to order more burgers!" said Lana in anger.
"I would like to remind all of you of the enlightened worsening in meteorological conditions (burps) perhaps we should follow the other patrons and take our leave now" said Lisa.
They all see the other people start to leave, Lincoln even sees Mollie, Sadie and Artie leaving the restaurant.
"Ah, let them leave! Gives us more chances at winning! Come on guys one more round!" said Lana.
They all groan in pain.
"I can't eat anything else" groaned Lincoln. Luna rubs his back to keep him comfortable.
"I don't think I can joke about burgers right now" complained Luan.
"You don't need to eat 'em. Hops and I will take them home for breakfast" said Lana. Hops comes out of Lana's jacket and burps, he still felt hungry.
This confused Patriot. 'How is something as small as a frog be hungrier than an Eagle?!'
The others just groan in pain.
"Great! Be right back, don't move!" said Lana as she and her frog friend go to do the same plan again.
Only this time they're plan fails and they have to pay for more burgers.
Lincoln notices this and sighs. "I'll be back."
Lana is about to hand in the cash she got from everywhere else, but then she sees Lincoln paying for the burgers.
"What the? Lincoln?" said Lana.
"Let's just get this over with Lana" replied Lincoln in annoyance.
They all open their burgers to still find nothing.
"Sorry Lana, I don't have it" said Lori.
"Me neither dude" said Luna.
"Same here, I guess that's a wrap!" said Luan. "Get it?"
She then realizes that Lana was upset. "Oh, sorry."
Lana opens the last burger and gets nothing. "Dang it, I guess I'm not gonna be on Bobbie Fletcher's pit crew."
Lincoln sighs. "Maybe we can order another batch and perhaps hand it to some other kids who might want to eat it."
They were all shocked at what he just said. "Wow Lincoln that sounds like a good idea" said Lori.
"Totes nice of you to say" said Leni.
Then Lana hugs Lincoln. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"No problem, now come on. Let's finish this so we can all go home" said Lincoln.
But then they see Tad about to close up shop. "Wait! Tad don't close just yet! We need twelve more burgers!" said Luna.
"Sorry guys, but the backs out of burger patties and wrappers" replied Tad.
"What?!" said Lana and someone else who just came in.
They all turn around to see Flip enter the restaurant with a shovel.
"So I shoveled my way to clear this path for nothing! Are you serious right now?!" said Flip in anger.
"Not my problem man, I gotta get going" said Tad.
"Hold on there chief! I cleared it and I gots to get paid pronto. I've already made some extra cash on people who got snowed in too" replied Flip.
Tad groans in annoyance. "Ugh, I don't have any cash on me yet. I'll give you a sack of jumbo curly fries, hoe about that?"
"Deal!" replied Flip.
Tad then leaves the restaurant. "Sorry you guys couldn't win." He then heads to his car and he drives off.
Flip was still blocking the way. "What about you guys?"
Lincoln checks his coat, but he realizes that was all the money he had. "Dang it!"
Then Flip walks away. "I'm out."
"At least Flip cleared us a path. Now we can make it to Vanzilla" said Lana.
But then Flip's hummer backs up and hits the restaurant and they get snowed in. "Woops! Said Flip then he drives off.
"Are you kidding me dude?!" yelled Luna.
"Dang it!" said Lincoln.
The others also groan.
"You guys, I got this. Trust me! I'll get us out!" said Lana.
Lana then heads to the counter and uses the large serving spoons they use for the ice and use them as shovels. "And I know just how to do it!"
She then soon digs her way through the snow and then she's joined by Lincoln and Lucy.
"We found some spare ones in the back of the inventory" said Lincoln.
"This will get us out faster" said Lucy.
They all start digging they're way through.
Then Lana stops and sniffs the air. "Leahy gas and old string cheese. We're close to Vanzilla."
They look at her confused.
"Charles gave me bloodhound lessons" replied Lana.
"Okay" replied Lincoln and Lucy. They continue digging through the snow but faster.
And pretty soon they run into Vanzilla herself.
"There you are old girl! We'll have you out in a jiffy!" said Lana.
"Finally!" said Lincoln.
All three of them start digging around Vanzilla freeing her from her snowy prison.
"Hey guys! We're going home!" yelled Lana.
Soon they're all inside of Vanzilla.
"You literally did it guys!" said Lori.
"Thanks guys" replied Lana. The others also cheered for their freedom.
"Now we can get home so I can let her rip in privacy" said Lynn.
Lucy is disgusted and looks to Luan. "Ugh! Can I bunk with you in your room tonight Luan?"
"Sure thing, there won't be any gastric proportions there! Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
"Not really" replied Lucy.
Though Luna could see that Lincoln looked a bit freezing.
She decides to stay close to him. "Stay warm bro, you've been digging through a lot of snow."
"O-O-Okay, L-L-Luna" replied Lincoln. Patriot also tries to keep him warm.
"It seems that Lucy and Lana are the only ones who can manage digging through the snow" said Lisa.
"Let's hurry back home dudes and get warm" said Luna.
"On it!" said Lori. She then starts Vanzilla, but she dies out.
They all groan and look towards Lana.
"Better check the engine block" replied Lana.
They then see that the engine is frozen in ice. "Of ice" said Lana.
They all groan.
"All because you didn't want to quit on the burger thing! We could be home by now!" said Lola in annoyance.
Lori then uses her phone. "Ugh! There's no signal here!"
Lincoln and the others also check their phones. "Same with us" said Lincoln.
"I'm gonna go and warm up inside and use the landline!" said Lori.
They all head inside of the restaurant leaving Lana and Hops outside.
"Don't worry Hops, we'll figure this out" said Lana. She looks into the engine and then gets an idea.
"I know just the thing!"
She heads back inside the restaurant and grabs something.
"The Burger warming lamp!" but it malfunctions and dies and soon the whole restaurant loses power.
The others groan in annoyance. "Dang it!"
Soon they all huddle up and try to stay warm.
"No signal! No landline! And nobody knows where we are!" said Lori.
"I'm so cold I can't feel my tushie!" yelled Lola.
"C-C-C-Come on g-g-guys! Let's t-try and s-stay po-positive! We c-c-could be here a-a-all night" said Lincoln. But he was shivering faster than them.
Luna then hugs him. "Come here buddy."
But then she can feel how cold he was. "Lincoln! You're freezing!"
Leni also tries to keep him warm.
So they all gather into a group hug to stay warm, they try to help Lincoln.
"It seems Lincoln helping dig through the snow may have exposed him too much" said Lisa.
"Sigh, I wish I could let him have my traits in dealing with some of the cold" said Lucy.
Lincoln grabs Lily and makes sure she was the one kept warm in the middle.
Luna did not like where this was going.
Then Patriot sees this and gets worried, he also sees Hops looking at them with sadness.
They both leave the restaurant and head outside to see Lana who was trying to get all of the ice out of the engine.
Hops gets Lana's attention and Patriot flies off into the blizzard.
"Hops! Not now! We'll play later" said Lana.
Hops then drags her inside and shows her what was happening to her siblings and mostly to Lincoln.
"W-We got you L-Linc" said Lynn Jr.
"This s-should help keep h-him warm" said Leni.
"He is still s-shivering, perhaps w-we can finds something to k-keep all of us a-and Lincoln warm" said Lisa.
"Like w-what? B-Burger wrappings?!" said Lola.
"M-Maybe I c-could make s-something out o-of these n-napkins" said Leni.
Lincoln smiles. "T-Th-Thanks y-y-you guys. B-B-But you gu-guy need t-to keep warm t-t-too."
Luna continues to hug him and Lincoln holds on tightly to the necklace of himself and Jordan.
"Oh man! We gotta do something. But what?" said Lana.
All of a sudden she hears the sound of a car honking. "What the?"
Then she gets knocked over by snow and shoved inside of the restaurant.
They then hear someone yelling outside.
"What the heck?! Why didn't you stop on time?!"
"You said we're in a hurry and I couldn't see squats through this blizzard!"
"Forget it! Let's get the shovels!"
Lincoln could tell he knows that voice. "J-J-J-Jo-Jordan?!"
"Lincoln?!" yelled Jordan from outside. "I'm coming handsome! Hang on!"
They then hear what sounded like a machine digging fast.
Breaking through the snow and into the restaurant was Jordan armed with two snow shovels and breathing heavily like she just ran a marathon, and yet she still had a lot of energy.
Behind her was her god father Peter shocked. "Wow! Love can really make a person do crazy things."
Jordan then rushes to Lincoln and could see that the others were also cold. "Come on! We're taking you guys home!"
They all follow them outside where they see Peter attaching Vanzilla to the back of his Peterbilt Truck.
"Wow!" said Lana.
They all hop inside and could feel all of the warm air inside of the truck.
Then Peter hands them some cups of hot chocolate. "Stay warm you guys."
Jordan grabs a heating blanket from the truck and let's Lincoln wrap in it, Peter does the same for the others.
"Mind telling me, WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?! YOU COULDVE BEEN KILLED LINCOLN!" yelled Jordan, but she then calmed down.
The others were startled by this and so was Lana.
Luna, Lori and Lisa were about to explain, but Lana decided to tell he what happened.
After the whole story, Jordan's left eye was twitching and she could see how much regret Lana has on her face.
Peter then heads into the Burpin' Burger and sees that the surveillance camera was still on and decides to do something while the others were still in his truck, so he grabs his phone and its cord.
"So, all of this. Was for a contest. To be part of Bobbie Fletcher's Pit crew?" said Jordan with a normal tone.
Lana could tell she was very, very angry and backs away in fear. "Y-Yeah."
Lincoln then places a hadn on Jordan's shoulder. "Please Jordan, don't be too hard on her."
Jordan sighs. "Fine."
She then looks to Lana. "And I thought you at least learned something after the whole snake incident."
Lana didn't like to hear that being mentioned again, but Jordan was right. Once again Lincoln could've been hurt or worse and he did pay for the third round of burgers.
Then Peter comes out with his phone. "Alright, we're leaving now. Everyone in the truck and I called the cops too."
"What?!" they all yelled in panic.
"Don't worry, it's for another reason" replied Peter.
They all hop aboard and drive off.
On their way they spot someone. "Is that Bobbie Fletcher?" asked Peter.
Lana sees this. "Stop!"
It didn't take long for Lana to finally get the racecar back and running again.
Then Bobbie gives Lana her card and to give her a call, once she's eighteen.
Lincoln then realizes something. "Where's Patriot?"
But before anyone could say anything Peter spots a large Humvee coming. He gets out and grabs a shotgun and shoots the vehicle.
Bobbie Fletcher is shocked by this, so are the Louds and Jordan.
The Humvee then slams itself onto some snow on it's side.
"What the heck dude?!" said Luna.
"Everyone stay in the truck now!" said Peter.
Then the cops arrive with their guns pointed at Flip.
Flip gets out and he is angry. "What the heck are you doing?!"
"Flip! You're under arrest for child endangerment and abandonment!" said Peter.
"What?!" said Flip.
The cops look at Peter. "He is?"
Peter then shows him what he got from the surveillance at the restaurant.
They then point they're guns at Flip. "Hands where we can see em Flip!"
Flip puts his arms up and tries to run, but Patriot flies out of the back of the truck seats and scratches his leg and the cops tackle him. "Dang it!"
Patriot then flies back to the truck and collapses on the seat in front of Lincoln.
"Patriot?!" said Lincoln with worry.
"He was the one who sent us here. He flew all the way through the blizzard to get help" replied Jordan.
"Luckily, his species is able to brave heavy cold conditions. But only for a short while. Perhaps that is why he kept seeing the distance on our roof. He knew a blizzard was coming" said Lisa.
Lincoln hugs his unconscious eagle friend and feels sad, but happy that he was still okay.
Lana then feels some regret since she started all of this, Bobbie Fletcher also sees the recorded video and gasps. She didn't think it started this way.
Soon the police walk away with Flip and put him into the squad car.
"Good job boys and don't worry, I'll talk to the parents on what happened and make sure that they're daughter gets talked to" said Peter.
The cops soon leave.
Bobbie then goes to Lana. "Kid, I still want you on my crew. But once you're eighteen and at least learned something from this. Also I'm gonna stop giving out promos like this. So sorry for all of this guys."
Lana looks to her siblings. "I-I'm so sorry that all of this happened. I didn't know it would turn out this bad."
They all accept her apology. But Lincoln remains silent and hugs Patriot.
Luna and Jordan see this and also hug Lincoln.
Peter sighs and looks to Bobbie Fletcher. "I think you should go now."
Bobbie nods and drives off.
Peter then gets into the driver's seat and they too head back home.
All of the louds could do was just watch as Lincoln wraps Patriot in two layers of blankets to keep warm, it broke their heart just looking at this situation.
But Lana knew, she was in big trouble when she got home and their parents were coming home as well.
(Meanwhile at Stella's house)
Stella wakes up and sees that there was a burger wrapper left in her room.
She did eat her burger in her room because her dad was still sick and is taking refuge in the living room, her grandma has kept herself in her own room as well.
Stella picks up the wrapper and is about to throw it in the garbage can, but then she sees that the wrapper had some tire marks on it.
She then remembered the whole competition thing. So she folds it up and puts it in her pocket. "I'm sure Lana will be happy to see this."
My take on Snow Way Out. Added some situations that would end really badly, but will be part of the next chapter. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
