Chapter 112

(Royal Woods Elementary, after school)

Simon is walking down the hallways looking at his phone, then he runs into the two kids he really doesn't ever want to see again, Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire.

"Hey man" said Flat Tire.

"What up dude?" said Poppa Wheelie.

"Ugh, what do you two dorks want?" said Simon in annoyance.

"Well, we were wondering if you made friends with Lincoln yet" said Poppa Wheelie.

Simon sighs. "No I did not and why does this matter to you guys? Is this because of Loud's ride?"

"No" said Poppa Wheelie.

"Maybe" said Flat Tire.

Then he gets elbowed by Poppa Wheelie. "Dude! Seriously!"

Simon looks at them irritated. "There is no way in heck Lincoln would even let you guys near his ride. l even if I was one of his pals. Now will you excuse me, I gotta get home."

Poppa Wheelie smirks. "Okay man, I guess you won't mind if we tell Loud about your secret."

Simon stops, but he doesn't face them. "What secret?"

Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire has devious smiles, they had him.

"Oh nothing. Just to the fact that you have a crush on his sister, the musical one. What's her name again?" said Flat Tire.

Then both boys remembered. "Oh yeah, Luna Loud!"

Hearing her name only made Simon feel tense. Tense as in happy and angry.

Simon turn around. "What else do you two dorks know?!"

Poppa Wheelie smiles. "Only that you don't have the guts to tell her how you feel."

Flat Tire laughs. "I bet she would be disgusted at how pathetic you are, like McBride when he had a crush on Lincoln's oldest sister!"

Simon had no idea how they knew about his crush on Luna.

"Let me guess, you have a small piece of her hair in a glass case!" mocked Poppa Wheelie.

"You got a picture of Luna in your pocket?" teased Flat Tire.

"Or do you constantly daydream of her?" said both boys who then start to chuckle.

Simon turns ted in both embarrassment and anger. "Stop it!"

"Or what? You gonna tell on us?" said Poppa Wheelie.

"You got nothing to make us in trouble, we got you're secret that will make you an even bigger loser than Clyde was back then" said Flat Tire.

Simon had no choice but to listen to these two morons otherwise he'd never hear the end of it. "What …. Do you guys ….. Want?!"

Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire look at each other and smirk, then they look back to Simon. "Oh, you know what we want man!"

Simon realizes what they want, the one thing that they have had their eyes on, Lincoln's robotic little car Lulu.

"But …. How am I supposed to get it?!" said Simon in panic.

"That is not our problem dude!" said Flat Tire.

"Yeah, you gotta go and get that ride and we don't care what you do, just make sure it doesn't get too banged up" said Poppa Wheelie.

Simon was at a crossroads here. He was planning to try and gain Lincoln's friendship so he can get to know his sister better. But now he has to steal something from the Loud House which will make him hated for it.

Simon had no choice, being blackmailed by his former peers he only had one option. "Fine! I'll do it!"

Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire smile. "Oh yeah, now that is what we're talking about."

"Now listen up Sharp. Once you get the ride we want you to meet us at the Royal Woods Bike Park later" said Poppa Wheelie.

"If one hour has passed and we don't see the car, then the deal is off. Got it?!" said Flat Tire.

Simon looks down with sadness. "S-Sure … Fine."

Poppa Wheelie then messes with Simon's hair. "Good! Now go and get us that ride man!"

Flat Tire pushes Simon which almost makes him fall. Simon was able to regain his posture and walk out of the school.

This was not gonna be easy, he knew he was gonna get in trouble. But he also didn't want anyone else to know about his secret crush on Lincoln's third oldest sister.

Simon thinks to himself. 'How in the world did they know about my crush?! Dang it! What am I gonna do now?!'

(The Loud House)

Simon comes out of the bushes and spots the Loud House, he hears some noise coming from it. "Dang it! They all must be home, this won't be easy for me."

Simon then picks up the bush and walks towards the house, but he stops when he almost runs into Lola and her pink car. 'Jeez, that kid should be careful. She could hurt someone.'

Simon then comes out of the bushes and climbs up a tree and he spots Lori doing her book report and Leni coming out of her closet with a mannequin. 'Well, their distracted. That means only a few of the eldest are downstairs.'

Simon then climbs down from the tree and looks into the living room window and sees Lana watching TV and Lisa reading a book. 'Whos watching over these guys?'

Then he spots Luan coming from the kitchen with Lily and she sits on the couch. 'Oh, the clown is watching over them.'

But he doesn't notice someone wasn't there. 'But where is that spooky girl?'

Then Luan gets a call from her phone, Simon is able to hear her.

"Oh, hey Lucy. How's your small initiation for Rocky?"

Simon sighs. 'Good, she's not here. The last thing I want is some little scary kid watching over me.'

"Okay Lucy. I hope you have one dead raising fun! Hahaha! Get it?"

Lana and Lisa groan from her bad pun, except Lily, she just giggles.

Simon then goes to the garage and tries to open it, but to no avail. 'Great! Just great! Now what do I do?!'

Then he gets an idea. He sneaks around the house and checks if Lola was driving her pink car.

He spots Lola getting out of her car and headed inside the house, but first she applies the car alarm.

Simon then silently heads to the backyard, but then he sees Lynn Jr playing with a soccer ball on her head. 'And there's the sporty one.'

Simon then spots a large bird shadow flying above. So he takes cover behind some bushes and peeks out.

He spots Patriot flying high watching over everything. 'Great! Just great! Now what do I do?!'

Lincoln then spots a white mouse coming out of the ground and a squirrel fast asleep. Simon then smiles. 'I got me an idea.'

Patriot continues using his eyes to watch over the slightest movements around the house, he does spot Lynn Jr playing with her soccer ball and Mr. Grouse getting ready to counter if the ball hits his yard, more importantly his vegetables.

Then he sees Lynn Jr panicking and screaming, almost like something was in her jersey. "Get it off me! Get it off me!" she runs around the back yard and trips over her soccer ball.

The ball then bounces off and hits a tree and then hits Lola's car which triggers the alarm and making Lola come out and yell at her.

The ball then bounces towards Mr. Grouse and it misses his garden. "That was a close one." But then he hears a crash sound. It hit the window of his shed. "Dang it Loud!"

Patriot flies down to see what was going on.

Simon sees this and sneaks out of the bush and runs past all of them and hides behind a nother bush.

Patriot turns around to see what the noise was, but sees nothing. So he goes back to trying to get whatever it was inside of Lynn's clothing.

Simon sighs. 'I can't believe that worked!'

He then tries to open the back door of the garage, but he can't open it. 'Dang it! It's locked! How do I get in there?!'

He then spots the shed and sneakily goes to it, he also tries to open it but he can't. 'Oh come on!'

Simon hides again, just in time for Patriot to look around and see nothing. He then goes back to getting the mouse off of Lynn. And thank goodness it was just Lynn Jr, because if it was Lynn Sr things would be difficult.

Simon then peeks out of the bushes and looks around. He does notice something, a squirrel coming out from the roof of the garage and then going back in. 'The garage has a skylight!'

Then Simon realized he can't get to the roof with a ladder, since the garage is locked. 'I gotta get up there. But how?'

He then sees the Tree House, but it wasn't in range of the garage. Then he spots the rain gutter at the opposite of the house next to a window. 'Bingo!'

He sneaks out of the bush and sees that Patriot is still busy. He climbs up the gutter.

As he gets to the top he then uses the ledge of a nearby window to hold on to, but he has no clue whose room was it.

Simon then looks to the room and sees, Luna. She looked upset because she had a stain on her shirt, how?

While she was listening to music she was drinking a soda, then when she put her iPhone away she gets startled by Lola's car alarm, which causes her to spill her drink onto her shirt. "Dang it!"

Luna is about to remove her shirt and all Simon could see was Luna's back facing him and she was wearing her purple bra.

Simon was now blushing madly and a small trickle of blood comes out of his left nostril, he immediately wipes away the blood and climbs the roof quickly.

Luna turns around, believing she heard something. Luna looks out the window and sees the chaos unfolding.

Luna covers the curtains and puts on a new shirt. Then Lincoln comes in. "Hey sis."

"Hey little bro" replied Luna. "How was your day with Jordan?"

"Everything is cool. Also I had a talk with some of my friends and this Saturday we're all going to the Winter end carnival" replied Lincoln.

Luna gasps. "Whoa dude! You sure you got the cash for that place?"

"I do sis. No need to worry, I just question how did the rest of my friends get cash for it" said Lincoln.

Back on the roof. Simon does his best to balance while trying to get the image of Luna out of his head.

He is able to make it to the other side of the roof without getting caught by the others in the backyard.

Simon then sees the distance it was from the house roof to the garage roof. 'Okay Simon. Just take a leap of faith!' And he does!

He jumps off the roof and lands safely on to the other roof. 'Yes! Made it!'

Then he looks down and he was standing on the skylight and it's about to slide open. 'Dang it!'

Simon falls into the garage and lands safely onto the Kiddie Pool that is filled with squirrels. 'Thank goodness I'm not hurt.'

Meanwhile Lincoln checks his phone and sees it was time to check on Lulu's diagnostics. "I'm headed to the garage sis."

"Sure thing bro" replied Luna as she also heads out to use the bathroom.

Back in the garage. Simon looks around for the small car, Lulu.

He spots a skeleton and almost screams, but then he sees the Happy Halloween sign. 'Jeez! This place is scary.'

He then sees multiple tool boxes, some speakers, a worn down sowing machine, an old camera and ….. Whatever machine he's looking at. It looks like a car engine with some tentacles, light bulb eyes and a small shovel arm. 'What am I looking at?'

He then gets back to what he was doing. 'Focus Simon, focus. Find the car and get outta here!'

He also sees some tires, air pumps, some sneakers, black paint, an old crib with rocket logos on it and Lynn's bike. 'Jeez! Is this place a garage or an attic?'

Then he spots what he was looking for. Lincoln's AI car, Lulu. 'Finally!'

Simon is about to touch the car but then the light turns on and right in front of him was Lincoln at the back door. "Simon? What are you doing?"

Simon was now in panic mode.

Lulu then turns on. "Who are you? Wait. You're the strange kid who always looks at the house every afternoon."

Simon had no idea what else to do and Lincoln does not look pleased by this. "Simon Sharp. What the heck are you doing in my family's garage?"

Simon need an excuse, but the problem was. This is Lincoln Loud, the new Lincoln Loud. Not the same Lincoln Loud as everyone knew before he met Jordan. So coming up with an excuse was not gonna fool him.

Simon then had no choice. "I was told to come here and get your car so Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire doesn't blurt out my secret!"

Lincoln and Lulu just look at him in shock. Lincoln's anger then settles down to concern. "Blackmail?"

Simon nods slowly.

Lincoln sighs. "I've been there. Mostly from Lola, why didn't you just tell me?"

Simon was shocked to see Lincoln not angry at all. "I ….. I ….. They were gonna tell you, if I didn't bring the car to them. Now I only have fifteen minutes."

Simon looked like he was gonna shed some tears. Lincoln has heard that this kid was lazy and not easy to understand, but right now all Lincoln sees is another kid who is in deep trouble and has no way how to get out of this mess.

"How about I help you?" asked Lincoln. Lincoln did read the many things Lulu can do and some of them are very cool.

Simon looks at Lincoln with shock. "W-What? Why?"

Lincoln smiles. "Because I don't let my friends get picked on, if they pick on one of my pals. Then they pick on me as well."

Simon was shocked. Lincoln said friend, which meant they were now ….. Friends!

"Thank you Lincoln" said Simon.

"Don't thank me yet Simon, now let's go and give Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire a car they won't forget!" said Lincoln with a smirk.

Simon knew this was gonna be good and also smiles.

(Later, Royal Woods Bike Park)

Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire are waiting a hill for Simon.

"Where the heck is he?!" said Poppa Wheelie.

"You think he got caught?" asked Flat Tire.

"Who cares?! At least we can tell the whole school about his secret and then we can have something to laugh about" replied Poppa Wheelie.

Then they spot the small car approach them.

"There's the car!" said Poppa Wheelie.

Flat Tire looks around. "Yeah, but where the heck is Simon?"

"Forget him, come on. Let's see if this thing can do some sick tricks!" said Poppa Wheelie.

Poppa Wheelie is about to hop in, but it then gets really hot on the handles and he cries in pain. "Ow! What the heck?!"

Flat Tire then gets sprayed by water from its hood. "Hey!"

Poppa Wheelie tries to hop in again. But instead he gets picked up by two mechanical arms and spun around and thrown to the ground.

Flat Tire tries to grab the arms, but then Patriot comes out of the back and scares him.

Poppa Wheelie gets up and gets confused. "What is this?! What's happening?!"

Then Lulu's eyes glow. "You want to know where Simon is." A starnge sound comes from Lulu and her parts start to convert.

The two boy's just watch as the small car was now two feet taller than them. Arms were coming out of the front wheels, the back tires turn into boots with the back being the legs, the hood of the car converts into a metal pink shirt with skirt and the rest of the extra metal become a ponytail and a robotic face of Luna appears. It was Lulu.

Now imagine Lulu (Really Loud Music) but a robot, transformer style.

Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire didn't know whether to be scared, amazed or both.

Then Lulu pulls something out of her chest plate and it is the head of Simon. "Heeeeere's Simon!"

The two boys scream and they run off on their bikes.

But then they get scared when Patriot flies in front of them, then when they turn around Lulu was right in front of them.

They both fall off their bikes and whimper in fear.

"P-P-Please! Don't h-hurt us!" cried Poppa Wheelie.

"Y-Yeah! I-It was all h-his idea!" said Flat Tire.

Poppa Wheelie realizes what his friend just said. "Hey!"

Lulu then picks them up by their shirts. "If you two even think about blackmailing Simon or any other kid again, I will find you and come out of your closets! And no one will hear you two scream!"

The two boys nod in fear and shed some tears. "O-Okay! We won't d-do it a-again!"

Lulu then drops them and smiles. "Good. Now get lost!"

The two boys grab their bikes and race away back home to cry.

"They are gone now, it is safe to come out" said Lulu.

Coming out of a nearby bush is Lincoln and Simon and both have no clue what they just saw.

"What. Was. That?" said Simon.

"No clue, I thought you were just gonna scare them" said Lincoln.

"I did scare them and I do not think they will be back to threaten you again" said Lulu.

Simon had no idea what just happened still. "Umm, thanks."

"You are welcome Simon" replied Lulu.

Then he looks to Lincoln. "Thanks man, you really did save me from humiliation."

Lincoln smiles and shakes Simon's hand. "No problem."

Simon also shakes his hand. "So, does this mean … we're friends?"

Lincoln chuckles. "Sure dude. You're not so bad. How about we hang out tomorrow? Tree House?"

Simon smiles. "Tree House it is man."

This was the start of a whole new friendship and now Simon now has his chance to get close to Luna and maybe one day, confess to her his feelings.

And there you have it folks. I know that some of you wanted Simon to be Lincoln's friend and so I delivered. It will be unknown if I will add some of the other ideas you all reviewed to me about, I can't promise most stuff will come true but I will try. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
