Chapter 115

(The Loud House, night time)

The Saturday daytime is over and now it was time for the big night for Lincoln and his pals.

Lincoln comes out of the bathroom dressed in his normal attire, he then sees Luna come out of her room in her normal clothes.

"We may be wearing what we normally wear, but it still doesn't matter" said Lincoln.

"You know it bro, what really matters is that we make this date gathering special for all of us" said Luna.

"Now that's the spirit sis" said Lincoln.

"By the way, is Patriot coming with us?" asked Luna.

"Nope, even thought it would be nice to have some eyes in the skies in case of any trouble. I decided to give him a break" replied Lincoln.

"Well that's nice of you Lincoln" said Lucy out of nowhere. Lincoln and Luna get startled.

"Oh, hey Lucy" replied Lincoln and Luna.

"You look happy for tonight" said Luna.

"I know. I can hardly wait to spend some more time with Rocky" replied Lucy. She just hs the same expression as she normally looks.

"And I know your smiling, somewhere in there" replied Lincoln.

Lucy then asked Lincoln. "Whos' taking us there?"

The door of their two eldest sisters open. "Obviously me" replied Lori.

Lincoln, Luna and Lucy are confused by this.

"Why?" asked Lucy.

"I just wanna make sure you guys get to your big date night get together on time, that and I know that all of you can't literally fit into Lulu" replied Lori.

"She has a point there" replied Lisa as she enters her room.

"I'm shocked that the others are okay with it being just us going" said Lincoln.

Then Lana comes up the stairs. "Lola's tired from practicing all day, except for me. It was fun coaching her!"

Lincoln ruffles Lana's hat "And I'm proud of you for helping your twin Lana."

"No biggie big brother" replied Lana.

Lana then heads into her room that she shares with Lola, but quietly.

All four of them head downstairs and they see Patriot, Leni and Luan watching TV while Lily is playing with her teddy bear.

"Hey guys, we're headed out now" said Lori.

"Okay, have fun guys" replied Leni. "Oh and don't forget to wear something to keep you warm, I know that it stopped snowing, but it's still cold out."

"We know Leni" replied Lincoln.

"Try not to get the cold shoulder, or your date kisses will be frostbite! Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan.

Then Lynn Jr heads out of the kitchen. "Step aside, gotta us the bathroom!" she pushes her way through her siblings and heads straight for the bathroom.

Lynn Sr looks through the kitchen. "And there she goes again. Well at least she'll still have room for dinner."

Rita comes out of her room with her laptop and sees her kids. "Looks like you're all set for tonight."

"We are mom and we are all excited" said Lucy.

Rita smiles. "Good, be careful out there and enjoy yourselves."

"We will" they reply as they grab some coats and head out the door and into Vanzilla.

Lori starts up Vanzilla. "Okay guys, next stop the Royal Woods Winter End Carnival!"

"Yeah!" and they drive off.

(Royal Woods Winter End Carnival)

The entire event is at a large open field near the Royal Woods sign.

Vanzilla makes it and they park amongst the other cars.

Lincoln, Luna and Lucy were confused. "Umm Lori, why didn't you just drop us off?" asked Lincoln.

Lori looks out the window and smiles. "Guys, look."

They all look to their left and see Bobby, Ronnie Anne and Sid.

"Wait what?" said Luna.

"So that's why you applied your cologne" said Lucy.

Lincoln smirks. "Should have known."

They all get out and greet them.

"Bobby-Boo-Boo-Bear!" said Lori as she hugs Bobby.

"Babe!" replied Bobby.

"Sup man!" said Ronnie Anne.

"It feels so good to be back here! And in a Carnival I have never been to!" replied Sid.

Luna chuckles. "Looks like you two gals are also here for a date time huh?"

Ronnie Anne chuckles. "We are."

Then Lincoln notices Sid holding her giggling. "What?" asked Lincoln.

And out of nowhere someone tackles him and they both land in the snow and laugh.

It was Jordan. "Gotcha!"

Lincoln chuckles as he gets up. "And I thought you were coming here with your parents."

Jordan helps him up to his feet. "They actually dropped me off, when they saw Bobby, Ronnie Anne and Sid I just waited with them for the rest of you guys."

"Sorry man, I couldn't help myself but to just hold it in about her ambush" replied Sid with a chuckle.

"They made sure you didn't know that I was right behind the sign!" said Jordan.

Lincoln approaches Jordan and gives her a quick kiss on the lips. "You're just full of surprises for me my love."

Jordan blushes and giggles. "Oh stop! You know you're the one with the surprises!"

Lori, Bobby, Luna, Ronnie Anne, Sid and Lucy couldn't help but think that this was a very cute moment.

Then they hear another car horn honking, they spot a farm truck and coming out was none other than Liam and Tabby.

"And a good afternoon to the rest of ya!" replied Tabby.

"Howdy fellas!" said Liam.

"It's good to see you too bud" replied Lincoln.

Another van arrives and coming out was Rusty, Polly and Rocky.

"What up players?" greeted Rusty and Polly.

"Hey guys" said Rocky, then he sees Lucy. "Hi Luce."

Lucy approaches him and hugs him which shocks the boy. "Hello to you as well Rocky."

They break the hug and blush.

Lincoln, Luna and Lori thought it was adorable to see their little sister blush like that.

Though Rocky did look different. He was wearing a grey shirt with the symbol of the Empire, a red short sleeved winter jacket and grey jeans.

"Looks like you're trying on a new look" said Luna.

"Sure am, ever since the whole initiation. I kinda am trying to find my Gothic style" replied Rocky.

"Our dad was the one who got him those" replied Rusty.

Then another van arrives and coming out was Zach and Giggles.

They overhear Zach's parents telling him to be careful about aliens, Giggles did find it a bit silly.

Another van come and this one is the McBride's and coming out is Clyde and Penelope.

"Do you have everything you need Clyde?" asked Howard.

"I do dad. Stop worrying about me" replied Clyde.

"Sorry, but we're just trying to be cautious about you. Ever since the whole Aloha Comrade incident" replied Harold.

"No need to worry Mr. and Mr. McBride, I have a backup pack in case Clyde needs more of his treatments and allergy shots" replied Penelope.

"You are so thoughtful Penelope" said Howard.

"I know right? And that's why I love her" said Clyde with a loving gaze.

Penelope blushes. "Oh Clyde."

Then another van arrives again.

"Why don't some of these families in this town just own trucks or other cars?" asked Sid.

"That is one thing I have been asking since I first lived here" replied Ronnie Anne.

Coming out is Stella. "Hey dudes! Looks like the whole gang is here."

They were shocked to see Ronnie Anne and Sid there, but then they figured it out when they saw Lori and Bobby.

"Well, we're almost complete" replied Lincoln.

Then they spot a large Pickup truck and coming out of the back is none other than Sam and Simon.

"Finally! Something that isn't a van" said Sid.

"For once, I agree" replied Ronnie Anne.

Luna and Sam hug each other, Simon feels nervous and completely uncomfortable. He then sees Lincoln. "Lincoln, you didn't tell me that ….. You're sister ….. Sisters were gonna be here."

Lincoln looked at him confused. "Well, they wanted to come to."

Simon sighed. He knew this was gonna be one hard time for him.

"But hey, you can hang out with Stella" replied Lincoln.

"Who?" asked Simon.

Then someone taps his shoulder, he turns around and sees the Asian girl. "Seriously dude, we met many times at school!"

"Oh, sorry. I have a hard time trying to remember some of Lincoln's friends" said Simon.

"You don't seem to have a hard time remembering my name" said Clyde.

"Clyde, you're the junior administrator of the school" replied Zach.

Clyde realizes. "Oh."

Simon decided that maybe hanging with …. Stella? Could help him feel less nervous. "Alright, alright. I'll hang out with Stella."

But Stella could tell that something was up with him. She then looks to Lincoln. "Dude, you're not trying to hook me up, are you?"

Jordan and the others look at Lincoln.

"What?! No! I just thought it would be awkward with you tagging along since we all have someone with us to hang out with. I just wanted you to at least have someone to have fun with, but just as friends" replied Lincoln.

Stella then thinks. "I guess you're right. I mean this is a date gathering and I'm just gonna be like the awkward third wheel."

"Actually you'd be the Nineteenth awkward wheel" replied Sid.

They all look at her confused. "What?" asked Sid.

"Okay guys, let's go and have some Winter end fun!" said Lincoln.

"Yeah!"

They all head into the carnival, though Simon and Stella were lagging behind.

"This isn't gonna be awkward to you is it?" asked Stella.

Simon just looks away, seemingly depressed. "No, no it's not."

Stella could hear the tone in his voice. 'Something's not right about him.'

They eventually meet up with the others and they are all amazed by all of the winter themed rides and kiosks.

"Wow!" said Jordan.

"This place looks awesome!" said Sid.

"Sid's right. This place is awesome" replied Ronnie Anne.

"So cool" said Sam.

"It sure is chili since it is the Winter end carnival!" said Giggles.

Zach chuckles. "Not wrong there."

"Alright guys, should we all join in on one ride or split up?" asked Tabby.

"The best suggestion is to stick together so we may all be in range and not lose our sights from each other" replied Penelope.

Clyde face palms himself. Penelope sees their dumbfounded looks at her.

"What? Safety first" replied Penelope.

"Yeah, maybe for you and McBride over there" replied Polly.

"She's right, let's not waste our time just going to places we all can't agree on" said Rusty.

"There is a snowflake ring toss here and I wanna see if snowflake shaped horseshoes are just as aerial as normal horseshoes" said Liam.

"Count me in my farm boy!" said Tabby.

"I don't know about that. But I saw this dunk-the-snowman thing" said Zach.

"And I am all in about it, a shame that the snowman will be in the water!" said Giggles.

Rocky gets an idea. "There is this icy haunted labyrinth, wanna join me Lucy?"

Lucy smiles. "That is something I look forward to."

"Well, try to be careful Rocky. Polly and I are hitting the icy bumper cars" said Rusty.

"We may not be able to skate, but at least we can knock some bozos down for that count!" replied Polly.

Rocky did not like what she was saying. "Okay, just try not to get banned from it."

"Sid and I are gonna go and see what kind of treats they have here" said Ronnie Anne.

"I'm sure there are tons of winter themed food. Like snow colored hotdogs! Or snowflake shaped funnel cakes!" said Sid.

"So, we're not gonna stick together?" asked Penelope.

"No" they all replied.

Clyde sighs. "We can all meet up at the Ferris wheel to finish the night off."

"That actually sounds fair" replied Bobby.

"What are you gonna be doing Clyde?" asked Lincoln.

Clyde looks at Penelope and smiles. "The one thing we will try and do. Win some prizes!"

"I like that determination, let's not try to push it too hard Clyde" replied Penelope.

Luna looks to Lincoln. "What about you little bro?"

"Well, Jordan and I did see the winter tunnel of love" replied Lincoln as he kisses Jordan's cheek.

Jordan blushes and kisses his cheek. "Why need that, when we kiss almost every day?"

Lincoln smirks. "True, but I wanna at least try and get some romantic privacy."

Lori and Bobby also liked the idea. "I think we're in as well" replied Lori.

"A good way to make this date with my babe all the more worth it" replied Bobby as he kisses Lori's cheek.

"Oh Bobby!" replied Lori as she blushes.

Luna smirks at the romance between these lovers. "Well, you guys enjoy yourselves."

"I think Luna and I are gonna look for anything music themed here" said Sam.

"Now you're talking Sammy" said Luna. "There has got to be some cool snowy tunes around the place."

Sam smiles and kisses Luna's cheek in which she replies back.

Simon on the other hand wasn't feeling sure about letting Luna go with Sam.

Then Sam notices Simon. "So, what's your plan bro?"

Simon then realizes he has nothing to do. "Umm, I don't really know."

"Well, there has to be something here you wanna do" said Zach.

"You can't just go to the carnival and do nothing" said Sid.

"Not gonna be the draft in the area otherwise we'll all be down and icy blue!" said Giggles.

They all look at her annoyed.

Zach then drags Giggles away. "Maybe, we should go to the games now."

"There are tons of rides and games. Didn't you see one you might be interested in?" asked Jordan.

Simon sighs. "Maybe this was a bad idea. I don't wanna be the downer here."

Stella then has an idea. "No worries guys, we'll find something to do."

Simon looks at Stella. "What?"

"That's settled then. Let's all meet back at the Ferris wheel after …. One hour" said Lori.

"Yeah!" they all cheered.

They all head off to different directions, Stella then looks to Simon. Who apparently is missing. "Oh boy."

She goes around the place looking for the Sharp boy, instead she sees Giggles and Zach trying to knock the snowman into the dunk tank, Zach misses multiple times, but Giggles scores it hard!

"Whoa! How did you do that?" asked Zach.

"I had a lot of practice when it comes to pie throwing and cake throwing and mud throwing and also cupcake throwing" replied Giggles.

Zach chuckles. "You should definitely join in dodge ball."

"Now that's one sport where a lot of kids aren't gonna dodge and pie from!" said Giggles.

The two continue with their puns. Stella smiles. 'Looks like they're making jokes.'

Stella then spots Rusty and Polly at the bumper cars, knocking and shoving a lot of other people and thank god no one is hurt.

Polly is doing the hit and runs, Rusty however wasn't faring well, he knows how to skate but this was a whole new level and he gets knocked over by Polly.

"Now that is one heck of a hit" said Rusty.

Polly passes by him. "Thanks man!"

Stella chuckles. 'I swear she's gonna be the only one who's gonna make Rusty man up or learn injuries.'

Stella encounters Liam and Tabby tossing snowflake shaped horseshoe rings and Liam successfully lands ten.

Tabby lands in fifteen horseshoes.

The other people gasp in shock, except for Liam. "Now that's what I call skill."

Tabby giggles. "Only because you're mum showed me how it's done."

"Wanna go for another round?" asked Liam.

"Oh, it is on! Let's do this!" replied Tabby.

Stella walks away with a smile. 'Nothing like a farm kid and a rocker girl to have fun their way.'

The next ones she sees ate Ronnie Anne and Sid and they are both looking at the sparkly white cotton candy and buy one large cotton candy on one stick to share.

"Wow! It looks like Mount Everest on a stick!" said Sid.

"Or Abuela when he gets into Carlotta's makeup by accident" replied Ronnie Anne.

They both chuckle.

"Well, let's dig in!" said Sid.

"Last one to finish buys the next food!" said Ronnie Anne.

"Oh it is on Santiago!" replied Sid.

The two girls go on to eating their large cotton candy. Both of them trying to get to the middle, which ends as a kiss.

Stella smirks. 'Turning a challenge into something both could be romantic about, of course.'

Next she sees Lucy and Rocky coming out of the icy haunter maze.

"That. Was ….. Not the scary I was expecting" replied Lucy.

"I thought this was supposed to be scary! All we saw were just some cardboard cut outs" replied Rocky.

"You wanna go and see how many people Polly may have hurt?" asked Lucy.

"Sure" replied Rocky. He then holds Lucy's hand which causes her to blush.

Rocky also blushes, he had no idea what triggered him to do that.

They both walk to wherever Rusty and Polly are.

'Aww, it's so cute!' said Stella in her thoughts, then she goes back to finding Simon.

Her next encounter was Clyde and Penelope.

Clyde was having a hard time with the claw machine.

"Clyde, maybe you should stop" said Penelope.

"Not till I get you that fake diamond ring with rubies! You deserve that ring Penelope, that and because the other games are just too physical for me" replied Clyde as he goes back to his claw game.

Penelope felt touched that he would do this for her. "Okay Clyde. I know you can win this."

Stella has no clue what to think of this and decides to walk away slowly

She wasn't able to find the winter tunnel of love, but she does see Luna and Sam doing some karaoke and they were both in sync.

The people around them cheered and didn't seem to mind their small romance on some of the songs.

'Wow, they are both tied together when they sing.' Then Stella sees someone in the crowd watching them.

She could see the weird nervous gaze he had and looked at Luna and Sam. 'What the heck is Simon doing?' then Stella figured it out. 'Oh boy.'

Simon then gets pulled away by someone. "Hey!"

Simon then sees it was Stella who dragged him away and they both sit on a bench underneath a tree by the Ferris wheel. "Okay dude, spill!"

Simon starts to get nervous. "What …. D-Do you ….. M-Mean?"

Stella crosses her arms. "You looking at Luna, I know what's going on?"

"What?!" said Simon in shock.

"You have a crush on Lincoln's sister Luna, but you're also jealous that you're sister Sam is dating her. Simon, you're pulling a Clyde" replied Stella.

Simon had nothing else to say. 'She just … how did? … what?!'

Stella then sits on the bench as well. "So that's why you didn't feel like coming here. I'm gonna guess that you haven't told Luna how you feel about her."

Simon just nods and looks down in sadness.

Stella sighs. "Yup, but unlike Clyde he has told Lori how he feels, you're just a starter up and I know your way to shy and nervous to even tell Luna. Which is why you wanted to be friends with Lincoln, so you can get to know Luna more. I'm right aren't i?"

Simon's mouth drops. "Yeah, it's true and how do you know this?"

"Dude, it's obvious and I don't think Lincoln would appreciate you trying to hit it off with his roommate/sister" replied Stella.

Simon looks down with sadness. But Stella can tell he was miserable with his emotions just eating away at him.

"This isn't gonna be an easy thing for you Simon. Perhaps soon, maybe one day. You will have to tell Luna and Lincoln and of course Sam, about all of this" replied Stella.

"Yeah, you're right. But I don't know what's gonna happen if I do tell them" replied Simon. He knew she was right.

Stella then places a hand on his shoulder. "Dude, I won't tell them about this. This will be between you and me, friend to friend and I you won't know what's gonna happen if you don't act."

Simon looks at her and smiles. "Thanks, I needed that. You really are good at this whole friend understanding thing, like Lincoln."

Stella chuckles. "Well, Lincoln is not the only one who understands how friends feel, also I've been seeing this nervousness from you since day one."

Simon chuckles nervously. "Wow! Didn't think anyone else would notice my actions."

"Just remember, there's nothing wrong with coming out with the truth. It might be a painful ride, but sooner or later it will simmer down" replied Stella.

"Okay Stella. I'll keep that in mind, I'll tell them, one day" said Simon.

Stella smiles at the good deed she did for a friend. "That's the spirit."

What they don't know, is that the rest of their friends had just arrived and see Simon and Stella talking. Some of them started to smirk. They all remain hidden and watch.

"Well I'll be dang!" said Liam.

"And to think, all she wanted was just to be friends" said Tabby.

"Sure doesn't look like it" said Zach.

"Sure beats just gaming and benching!" said Giggles.

"One carnival day and they're already having their own fun" said Clyde.

"Looks as if they were just talking the whole time" said Penelope.

"All this time, we never knew Stella was like this" said Rusty.

"And I guess this completes the gang with the romance in the minds" said Polly.

"Not quite was I was expecting" said Lucy.

"Same" replied Rocky.

"Not bad for her first try I guess" said Ronnie Anne.

"Aww, this is so sweet!" said Sid and Lori.

"Way to go little dude" said Bobby.

"Aww, my little bro has a lady friend!" said Sam.

"Nice call with getting Simon to be here bro" said Luna.

"Oh Lincoln! You are just playing Cupid right now!" said Jordan.

Lincoln was a bit shocked. "I thought Stella said all she wanted was a friend, but this is a whole new level. I wonder what they're talking about."

"Well, whatever it is, let's leave them be" said Lori.

"I agree, I wanna let my little bro keep talking and probably wooing" said Sam.

They all chuckle and head off to do some more fun stuff.

Sam remembered that Simon told Lincoln about the secret they had against Simon's old friends. Simon trusted Lincoln with the secret, so I guess she can tell Luna.

"Luna" said Sam.

"What is it babe?" asked Luna.

Sam then brings her to a bench where no one can hear them. "Sam, what's wrong?" asked Luna.

Sam sighs. "There's something I need to tell you, a secret that Simon and I have kept. a secret that Simon entrusted Lincoln with."

Luna was confused. "Okay, what is it?"

(Later)

They all return to the Ferris wheel for one more ride.

Each couple are in a cart and enjoying this moment, and it seems Lincoln and Jordan are kissing again, same with Lori and Bobby.

The others see this and it kinda forms a chain of romance.

Rocky just kisses Lucy on the cheek and both nine year olds blush, they both know they were not ready for a mouth-to-mouth kiss just yet.

Simon and Stella ignore all of them and just focus on the amazing view of the town, it was way taller than the Tree House Watchtower.

Then Simon's hand accidently touches Stella's hand and both of them look at their hands, then at each other, look away and blush.

'What the what?!' from Simon.

Stella holds her hand. 'What …. Just ….. Happened?'

Soon they all head home, well some of them called for their parents for a ride home.

The Louds were kind enough to give Jordan a ride home.

(Loud House, 9:00 pm)

Luna enters her room already in her sleep wear and sees Lincoln on his computer going through some updates.

"You going to bed soon bro?" asked Luna who is already on her top bunk.

"Soon sis, I just need to check on something" replied Lincoln.

"Okay, just don't stay up too late. Don't want that brain of yours to go off the rails on a crazy train" replied Luna.

Lincoln chuckles. "Sure sis. Goodnight Luna."

Luna smiles. "Goodnight baby bro." But her smile fades and she places her head onto her pillow. 'Maybe, maybe I'll talk to Lincoln about the whole Sam and Simon incident with friend thing. Tomorrow.' she then gets some sleep.

Meanwhile Lincoln goes through some searches and then sees something that shocks him.

Lincoln feels likes screaming for joy, but he doesn't wanna wake up Luna.

Lincoln then checks on the amount of money he has left in his savings and smiles. 'Enough for the rest of the gang!'

Lincoln then clicks on the mouse and onto the button. "Pre-order Tickets"

He smiles and then sees that it was sent and then he gets a message with a code image that he has to show to the Royal Woods Theater. 'Soon, the force will be with us. Always!'

(Sharp Residence)

Simon finishes using the bathroom and then feels weird again, he looks around to see if anyone was still awake.

He seems Sam is already fast asleep and so are his parents. 'Thank goodness our rooms are soundproof!'

He goes back to his room, locks the door and pulls out an image of Luna. A full body image of Luna and sits on his bed and smiles.

Yeah, shit's going down real fast for him.

Have any of you guys figured out what is happening here? Anyone? What about the tickets? Because I finally saw it! The Final piece that would truly End the Saga! If you haven't seen the movie yet, then don't read the next chapter. Chances there will be spoilers! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
