Chapter 122
(The Loud House)
Lincoln heads out of the bathroom and he goes to check on Pop-pop who is in Lisa and Lily's room.
But he sees Pop-pop leave the room. "Hey there kiddo, headed to bed?"
"I was gonna go and see how Lisa and you were doing, but it looks like everything seems fine" replied Lincoln.
"Yeah, I gave her a good bedtime story, if telling her about some science stuff is supposed to be a bedtime story" replied Pop-pop.
Lincoln chuckles. "Well, that's Lisa for ya, anything else happen in there?"
"She did tell me about her upcoming project that won't be ready until the next seventy years, and then we had our Lisa hug and that was it. She's probably asleep by now" replied Pop-pop.
"Okay then, see you next time Pop-pop" Lincoln hugs him.
"Same with you kiddo" Pop-pop returns the hug. "And I'll be there to see you and your lady preforming the big song at Bangers n' Mosh soon."
They depart from the hug. "Okay Pop-pop, well goodnight" Lincoln heads back to his room.
"Goodnight to you as well sport" replied Pop-pop.
And just as Lincoln heads to his room and closes the door, Pop-pop is hugged by Lola and Lana who both say goodbye and good night.
Lincoln enters the room and sees Luna thinking of a song for her to perform with Sam. "Hey there little bro, don't mind me. Just coming up with something for the big Bangers n' Mosh musical showdown."
"Okay Lunes, but don't stay up too late" Lincoln hugs Luna and heads for his lower bunk. "Goodnight Luna."
Luna smiles. "Goodnight little bro."
(The next day)
Lincoln comes out of his room, now in his day clothes. He then sees Lisa run past him and headed down stairs. "Where you off to Lisa?"
"Oh Lincoln, I am going to spend the whole day with Pop-pop" replied Lisa. "I asked mom if she could call him and he kindly accepted."
"Oh, well I hope you two have a great time" said Lincoln.
"Indeed we will and I will do whatever I can to make sure Pop-pop remains healthy for more years to come" Lisa then heads out of the house.
Lincoln is confused by what she says, but he shrugs it off and heads for the backyard.
He then gets tackled by Jordan. "Where the heck did you come from beautiful?"
Jordan chuckles and helps him up. "Sorry there handsome, I just couldn't resist. Also Luna let me come here."
Lincoln sees Luna underneath the tree finishing her song. "Sorry bro, she needed the moment."
Lincoln chuckles. "So, what are we planning today my love?"
"The park?" asked Jordan.
"Sure" replied Lincoln.
They both head to the front yard and get their bikes and head out, and with Patriot following them.
But while they're gone, Simon sneaks around and checks if Luna is there. "Where is she?"
"Simon?" Simon falls off the bush and sees a pair of green shoes, he looks up to see Stella. "What are you doing here?"
Simon gets up. "Oh, well I was just in the neighborhood and-"
"You were looking for Luna?" asked Stella with her arms crossed.
Simon gulps. "No?"
Stella sighs. "Come on!" She drags him away from the Loud House and they go for a nice stroll.
"Simon, you have to stop this. I know you haven't told Sam or Lincoln or Luna about this thing and I can tell it's becoming a problem now" said Stella.
Simon was getting nervous. "W-What do you m-mean?!"
Stella looks to him sternly. "Simon, you have Luna's picture in your locker and in your own bag and whenever you look at it you race to the bathroom, I can tell what's going on with you at that point. I know all about the human anatomy."
Simon is shocked at what she just said. "What?"
"Simon listen, I don't want you to become someone you don't wanna be. You're stalking Luna, you have these defiled dreams of her and you pretty much have too much with what's going on with your privacy. This has to stop and you know it."
Simon tries to look away from Stella.
"Simon, what would Sam think?" Simon's eyes grow wide from her saying that. "Sam is your sister, she loves Luna and Luna loves her, Lincoln is Luna's brother and they both share a special sibling bond. What would happen if you went too far?"
Simon then turns to Stella who was now looking concerned. "Simon, if this keeps up and your mind goes into your dark place. You'll do something you will regret and pretty much mess your self-esteem and possibly your future. I don't want you to go through it."
Simon was confused by this, Stella wanted to save him. "Why? Why are you helping me?"
Stella blushes at first but then she calms down. "Because, you're my friend and I want to see you as a person that people can trust and understand. Don't be someone who will make you into a monster, don't lose Sam's or Lincoln's trust."
Simon then thinks to himself, deep down there's a battle between himself and his dark desires. "I …. I …. I don't know what to do!" cried Simon.
Then Stella places her hand onto his shoulder. Simon looks to her and sees her comforting smile. "I'll be here if you need help, or someone to talk to. You have my trust, because in my home country, I've seen some bad stuff go on and I don't want my friend to go down that path and become the one person no one wants to trust."
Simon suddenly felt odd, as if all of his dark intentions were being shoved away. Simon smiles. "Thanks Stella, this means a lot and I'll do whatever I can to stop."
Stella smiles. "I know you will."
They both just look into each other, then they realize they were alone and staring into each other's eyes.
They both blush and look away.
Stella's thoughts 'Here we go again!'
Simon's thought's 'what the heck just happened?!'
They both remain silent and look away. "So, you wanna go someplace? You know to hang out?" asked Simon.
Stella looks at Simon and chuckles. "Yeah, I'd like that."
They both walk together straight towards Gus' Games n' Grub and spend the whole afternoon playing games, but for some reason they felt as if something else was conjuring inside of them.
(After multiple arcade games and lunch)
Later they both walk each other home. "You beat me at that game so many times! How are you that good?!" said Simon.
Stella chuckles. "Let's just say I am the master of Street Fighter!"
Simon laughs. "Then maybe next time we could play something else."
Stella looks to him determined. "You think you can beat me at arcade games, seriously? Then game on Sharp!"
Simon then chuckles. "Actually, I was thinking. Not at the arcade."
Stella gets confused.
"How about, my place? I have an Xbox 360. We can play Tekken, Mortal Kombat or maybe some Star Wars Battlefront Split Screen arcade mode" said Simon.
Stella was shocked that he was asking her this. "Are you … Inviting me over, to your place?"
Simon looks away. "Y-Yeah, it's okay if you don't want to."
Stella smiles. "Sure Simon, we can hang at your place. Also this is a good start for you."
"Wow! Umm, okay then" replied Simon.
They then see spot Vanzilla drive by.
"Was that Lincoln's little sister Lisa?" asked Simon.
"Sure was, I wonder where she went to" said Stella.
(Ten minutes later)
"Well, this is my house" said Stella.
"Wow, nice place" said Simon. Stella's house seemed almost similar to Clyde's but it has a light blue color to the walls and a larger roof with only three rooms. And he sees the mailbox with her last name, Gonzalez.
"Thanks Simon, and thanks for walking me home" replied Stella.
Simon blushes and looks down. "Well, what are friends for."
Stella giggles. "Yeah, friends."
They stay like this and just look at each other, then it gets awkward and they look away.
"Well, I should go now" said Simon.
"Yeah, see ya tomorrow. At your place" said Stella.
"Yeah, can't wait to hang out with you. Okay bye" said Simon.
"Bye" said Stella.
"Yeah, bye" replied Simon.
"Okay, so later then" said Stella.
"You to Stella" replied Simon.
They didn't even move from the spot and they're only like three feet from each other.
They then turn away and walk.
Stella heads to her house and Simon heads off home.
'What was that about?' Stella asks herself. 'Wait, why did I say goodbye to him so many times?!'
As for Simon. 'Why was I acting like that towards Stella? What is happening?'
It wasn't until Stella reached her room and Simon was halfway near his house, till reality hit them both.
'I have a crush on Stella!'
'I have a crush on Simon!'
(Night time, Sharp house)
Simon is looking at the pictures of Luna from his box and sighs.
He then puts them into a trash bag labeled. "To burn."
Simon goes to the bathroom and looks for the hidden picture of Luna he left there.
He finds it and look at it, one long look. He then realizes nothing was happening to him, he checks his pants and nothing.
Then a smile is on his face. 'I ….. I ….. I don't have a crush on Luna anymore!'
He then leaves the bathroom and puts the picture in the trash bag and smiles.
He then hears his dark voices in his head. 'What are you doing?! Get those out and put them back under your bed!'
"No! I am not doing that anymore! I'm done being this sick twisted Simon! Luna is Sam's girlfriend and I am not losing my sister's trust."
'But what about your love for Luna? Don't you wanna know what she feels like and how she would feel for you?!'
Simon shakes his head in frustration. "No! No! No! I am not thinking of that anymore! I have found the one person who sees me for someone who can change and not a future rapist or some sick twisted asylum guy!"
'You and that girl Stella, huh. Tell me, how do you feel about her?'
"Right now, I just wanna get to know her and maybe one day, ask her out. Like on a date."
He then hears a small chuckle in his head. 'So, I guess this is it. The end of all your dark desires, you did good kid. But to truly end all of this, you have to come clean to Sam, to Luna and to Lincoln. Only then can you let my existence go away, I have been with you since last year, the day Sam showed you Luna. And even though I'm supposed to be bringing in all of your darkest wants, I am also the part of you that wants to know what falling in love is and having this crush on Stella is just the star.'
Simon smiles. "Thanks, and I promise that I will tell them and end this shadowy crusade we both have."
'Good, and thank goodness you did not order that big doll online. Otherwise you're parents would've killed you!'
Simon chuckles. "Yeah, I'm glad. I think I should use my savings for when I'm ready to ask Stella to a date."
'That's the spirit, also once you've told Stella, Lincoln, Luna and Sam about all this. Invite them to burn the dark stuff you have, even that adult comic. Having friends and family watch your dark past burn away will help.'
"That's a great idea, though I'm sure Sam would want to keep some of the pictures of Luna."
'Heh, that is true. Now get some rest, you and Stella have a lot to talk about tomorrow and don't go easy on her with your games, you don't wanna look like a wuss at this.'
Simon snickers at this. "Believe me, she is not gonna win when I beat her in Mortal Kombat."
Simon then puts the trash bag under his bad and gets some sleep.
Sam was walking by his room and was hearing him talk to himself. "Okay, Simon is getting weird again, that or he's talking to his imaginary friend." Sam then heads to the bathroom and realizes something. 'Where's that picture of Luna I left here?'
Some of you have been dying to know when Simon will be caught for doing something wrong, but then it hit me! This is "A Sparking Relationship". So, Lincoln and Jordan may have this story for Jordacoln, but what about for Stella and Simon. Let me know what you guys think and if you guys like it, what would their shipping name be? Simlla? Or Stellon?
Leave a review and tell me what you all think. Also, try and figure out what Lisa is up to with Pop-pop.
