Chapter 126
(The Loud House)
Lincoln and Jordan are both lying down in the backyard underneath the tree.
"So, how're the rest of the family doing?" asked Jordan.
"Well Lisa, Lola and Lana are at the park with mom and Lily, along with Pop-pop and Myrtle they were told about the whole thing" replied Lincoln.
"I can't blame them, yesterday was not the day we were all expecting" replied Jordan.
"Lori is at Great Lake City, she wants to spend some time with Bobby, Leni is helping with Luan's birthday gig at the moment and this time Leni said she was gonna try and do it right, Lynn is practicing with her friends, also I think she's trying to vent out her anger after what happened yesterday and Lucy is in the bat sanctum, writing a poem in the company of her flying friends" said Lincoln.
Jordan then sits up. "And what about Luna?"
Lincoln also sits up. "At the moment, she's with Sam in the room. Sam is trying to spend some time to make her feel okay again, as if trying to cope with what Simon said wasn't troubling enough for her, now all of this happened!"
Lincoln crosses his arms and looks down in anger.
Jordan scooches closer and hugs him. "You're all healing after what Chandler and those two dorks did, it's gonna take some time. But soon everything will be alright again, I just know it."
Lincoln smiles at his girlfriend's kind words and decides to hug her, but he takes her face and they kiss.
From the window of Lincoln and Luna's room, the Rockstar Loud is looking out and is happy to see her little brother having his little romantic moment with his lady friend.
Sam then comes in after using the bathroom, she sees Luna looking out the window so she joins her and also smiles at the small romantic sight.
"You okay there Lunes?" asked Sam.
Luna sighs. "I don't know Sammy, after what happened yesterday, I don't even know what else to do."
Sam sits next to Luna on the bed. "How's your back?"
"It's not aching anymore, plus the doctor's said they were surprised I managed not to have any broken bones" said Luna.
"I could only guess you got endurance from all the stage diving you kept doing" replied Sam.
Luna chuckles. "Yeah, that. How did Simon take the news about what happened?"
"He's doing well, he has this whole plan for today. I didn't know what it was, but I think he sent Stella a text" replied Sam.
"Maybe he wants the others to cheer up Lincoln" replied Luna.
Then they both look out the window and spot Stella, Liam, Tabby, Zach, Giggles, Rusty, Polly, Clyde, Penelope, Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Cookie, joy, Rocky and Haiku.
"Whoa! What the heck is all this?" asked Luna.
"I could only guess, Simon's plan" replied Sam.
In the backyard. "What are you guys doing here?" asked Lincoln.
"Simon told me about what happened with you guys yesterday, then I told everyone else and they all wanted to come here and see how you guys are doing" said Stella.
"That bloke Chandler has got a lot of nerves to do that to you and your sister's mate
said Tabby.
"Why if I was there, I would give him one heck of a kick, my pa taught me how to do a bronco kick" said Liam.
"I just can't believe Chandler came back to Royal Woods" said Clyde.
"at least he won't be coming back after again, after what he did he'll be seeing juvie for a long time" replied Penelope.
"I did get this news from Social Media, his mom and dad are now moving out of their new home at Detroit, they have no choice ever since what Chandler did" said Sadie.
"Which means Chandler has no idea where they're living now" said Mollie.
"Maybe they're gonna disown him" said Joy.
"Also, it says here that the Loud and Rosato parents are placing charges on the McCann family for this horrible incident" said Kat.
"What was the result Lincoln? Did you guys hear anything from your parents?" asked Rusty.
"We did, my mom and dad along with Jordan's godfather Peter Harris caught up with them later that night" said Lincoln.
"They paid up front in cash with approximately fifty thousand bucks for all of the troubles, also my godfather issued a warning to them that they're to never set foot in royal Woods ever again" replied Jordan.
"Wow! Now that's what I call dropping the hammer onto their poor wretched souls" said Haiku.
"They also said they failed to make Chandler a better person, they also needed to deal with their babysitter who Chandler drugged" said Lincoln.
"Are you kidding me? He actually did that?" asked Zach.
"He did, that's how he left Detroit and found his way back to Royal Woods, his parents were invited to their friend's party at my dad's restaurant. When the whole news about their son was heard, I think they just lost a lot of friends" said Lincoln.
"What about those two dorks who sided with him?" asked Rocky.
"Hank and Hawk won't be making any more trouble. I heard from my Godfather that they're being sent separately to a state penitentiary. One in Oregon and the other in Nevada" said Jordan.
"Now that's what I call some long distance jail time" said Giggles.
"Anything about Chandler?" asked Tabby.
"No, we haven't heard any news about him" said Lincoln.
Cookie scrolls through her phone. "Oh! I got the news right here!"
"Really?" asked Polly.
"What does it say?" asked Stella.
"It says that Chandler is going to be sent to juvenile hall somewhere in Philadelphia for two years, after that he'll be sent to the newly rebuilt prison and juvenile hall on …. Alcatraz Island in San Francisco!" replied Cookie.
"Whoa! What?" yelled Polly.
"That place?!" said Lincoln and Jordan.
"That is so not going to go well for him" said Penelope.
"Chandler he might not even make it" said Clyde.
"Guys, I'm lost here, what is this Alcatraz place?" asked Liam.
"Same here man" said Rusty and Rocky.
Then Lucy come out of nowhere scaring some of them. "Alcatraz Island was once used as a prison for the most notorious people years ago, only few have ever tried to escape. Some have even dies in there, it also says that their ghosts haunt the grounds."
"She's right, I saw it on an episode of Ghost Labs" said Lincoln.
"Now that is spooky" said Mollie.
"Let's hope he gets chills when he gets there two years from now" said Giggles.
They all chuckle.
"So, is that all you guys are going to do here, or are we all hanging out in the tree house?" said Lincoln.
"I don't think we can all fit in it" replied Jordan.
"Actually we came here to show you guys this!" Stella showed them a large coupon.
Lincoln and Jordan are shocked. "Is that a coupon for three family sized Pizza's at Spunky Pigeons?!"
"It is, Simon won three of these years ago when he had his birthday there. He wanted you two to have this one" said Stella. "Use it for when your families are getting together."
Lincoln takes the coupon. "Wow! This is awesome guys, thank you."
"Or better yet, we should thank Simon, this was awfully nice of him" said Jordan.
"He just wants to help you guys heal up after what happened, it's also a thanks for helping him get through his crush bovver Luna" said Stella.
"Which was one thing the rest of us did not see coming" said Tabby.
"Stella told us everything about that one" said Rusty.
"And I thought I had issues with my crush" said Clyde.
"At least you don't have that anymore" said Penelope.
"So, what's say we all hang out at Gus'? They got themselves a new arcade game and dance game too" said Liam.
"Sounds like a plan" said Lincoln.
"Then let's go" said Jordan.
"Can I tag along too? Even though I'm no fan in arcade games I just don't wanna be alone at the moment" said Lucy.
Lincoln understands, Lucy is also a bit startled after what happened. "Sure thing Luce, maybe afterwards we can go to the Local Net computer shop, you could play some horror games they have."
"Wicked!" replied Lucy, Haiku and Rocky.
They all head to their bikes, but since some of them didn't have any bikes, they had to hitch a ride on the other ones bike or hop into Lulu.
Luna and Sam just watch as they all head off, but Sam could see the concerned look on Luna's face. "Do you wanna go and follow them?"
Luna looks to Sam and nods. "Yeah, I just wanna make sure they're safe."
"Okay then, let's grab some of our stuff and head out. Maybe we can call Chunk for a lift through the whole thing" replied Sam.
"Yeah, okay Sam" replied Luna. But she still had her sad tone in her voice.
Sam goes to Luna and hugs her. "Hey now, it's going to be okay Luna. Come on, no need to be like this all day, put on that signature smile that Lincoln knows and loves."
Luna chuckles and smiles a bit. "Okay, okay. I'm gonna text Chunk now."
"Cool, let me grab some of our instruments since we still have that song to come up with. I really can't stop this feeling we both have when things get either exciting or intense" said Sam.
"Yeah, yeah" Then Luna thinks to herself. 'Can't stop the feeling? Can't stop the feeling!'
She then looks to Sam and hugs her. "Whoa! Whoa! What the heck is this all about?!"
"You! You just gave me an idea for what are song will be Sam!" said Luna.
Sam is shocked by this. "I did?"
"Yup! Now come on! Let's get our things ready and follow the others!" said Luna.
"Okay then" Sam helps gather their guitars and keyboards.
She then looks to Luna who is calling Chunk and sporting the Rock Star Luna smile she remembers. 'There's the Luna I know!'
(Gus' Games n' Grub)
Lincoln and his pals are all busy either chatting amongst themselves or just playing some of the games.
Lucy and Haiku are writing some poems about the chaotic lifestyle within the Arcade.
Rocky just beat Rusty at racing, for the fifth time. "How are you beating me?!"
Jordan's pals are taking turns on the new Dance, Dance machine.
Lincoln and Jordan are beating each other at some fighting games.
Clyde and Penelope are playing this new game, Pack Rat.
Liam and Tabby are both playing this new cowboy's and aliens shooting game.
Eevryone else is just having some fun and eating food.
Stella is sitting by herself and watching everyone doing their own thing. She then sees Lincoln and Jordan having fun on their own and they soon join Zach and Giggles.
'Looks like Simon's plan is working, the best way to get over something horrible is to have friends and family to help heal.'
She then looks outside and sees Chunk's van and on top are Luna and Sam writing down the lyrics to their song.
Stella smiles. 'Looks like Luna is still not letting Lincoln out of her sight, I can't blame her for that one.'
Later they all head home, while Lincoln and Jordan escort Lucy to come with them to the Local Net Computer shop, riding on Lulu. Turns out Lisa added some space in the back for an extra passenger, like herself..
"So, when do you think Rocky will ask you on a date?" asked Jordan.
"Jordan, as much fun as that sounds. We're still too young for that, we can tag along when one of our sisters is headed somewhere. But us going on a date alone is not quite a good idea" said Lucy.
"She has a point here my love" said Lincoln.
"So true, also has anyone seen Patriot lately?" asked Jordan.
"You guys didn't know he was following us?" said Lucy.
"He is?!" they both asked.
Lucy points towards a nearby tree, Lincoln and Jordan look closely and see the eagle watching over them, he then takes flight and flies ahead to keep an eye out for trouble.
"Huh, how the heck was he silent through the whole thing?" asked Lincoln.
"He must be taking lessons from all of my silent pop-ups" said Lucy.
Jordan chuckles. "That's one way to put it."
Then they spot Jesse Rosato's van headed towards them, and inside is Rita, Lily, Lisa, Lola, Lana and of course Jordan's mom.
"Where are you guys off to?" asked Rita.
"We just finished our time hanging out with our friends, we were planning on heading to Gaming Hub" said Lincoln.
"Okay then, just be careful okay guys" said Rita and Jesse.
"We will" replied Lincoln, Lucy and Jordan. And they drive off on Lulu.
"Do you wanna follow them Rita?" asked Jesse.
Then Lisa spots Chunk's van following them and inside was Luna and Sam.
Lisa gets her attention. "That won't be a problem mother" Rita also sees this and smiles "Let's just head back home guys, Luna's got this one covered."
"I wonder how Luan and Leni are doing?" asked Lola.
"Maybe we should go and check up on them" said Lana.
"Good thinking sweetie" said Rita.
"Okay then, where is she having this birthday gig anyway?" asked Jesse.
"Over at Mayor Davis" replied Rita.
"Wait what?" asked Jesse.
(Local Net Gaming Hub computer shop)
Lulu parks herself nearby. 'I will make sure the perimeter is secured of any trouble.'
"Thanks Lulu" they all replied.
They look towards the computer shop. "Your first time Lucy, you ready?" asked Lincoln.
"You did say it can be dark in there sometimes, so I'm not getting any jitters at the moment" replied Lucy.
"Then let's go!" said Jordan.
They all head inside.
Chunk's van parks nearby and they all get out. "You all chill here for a while, there's a nearby hardware store and I gots to get me some new bolts for me van."
"It's cool Chunk, we'll be fine here" replied Luna and Sam.
Chunk heads off while Luna and Sam finish off their song.
(One hour later)
Luna and Sam finish making their song.
"And that's done it!" said Sam.
"We did it! We actually have a song to perform for the big Banger's n' Mosh Duet contest!" said Luna.
"We are so going to rock it out Lunes" said Sam.
"But what matters is that we have fun" said Luna.
"Hey guys" they both see Lincoln, Jordan and Lucy looking at them.
"Oh, hey dudes" said Luna.
"Have you guys been following us this whole time?" asked Jordan.
"We have, sorry but we were just being cautious. Mostly Luna" said Sam.
Lincoln sighs. "It's alright, I understand."
"Same here" said Lucy.
Soon Chunk returns and they all get a ride from him back home.
They did put Lulu in the back and Patriot flies with them back to the Loud House.
(Night time)
Lincoln wakes up to use the bathroom, but then he sees Lori and Leni's room slightly open. He looks inside and sees Lana and Lola sleeping with Lori and Leni.
Lincoln sighs. 'They're still scared after what happened I guess, it'll be a while before everyone is back to their normal selves.'
He looks into Lucy and Lynn's room and he's shocked to see them sharing the same bed.
Then he sees Luan asleep with Lisa and Lily in her room. 'Yup, a long while till we're all back to our normal selves.'
Lincoln then heads off to use the bathroom.
He soon comes back to the room he shares with Luna and he sees her sitting on his bunk and looking out the window.
Lincoln sits next to her, and she notices him. "Can't sleep sis?"
"Yeah dude" replied Luna.
Lincoln then embraces his sister. "Luna, I don't know what else is gonna happen. But I can't truly promise that things are going to be okay."
Luna sheds a lone tear and hugs him back. "Oh Lincoln. First boy Jordan makes his return and then Chandler and those two stinkers came back! There's so much I can't do to keep you safe from trouble!"
Lincoln didn't like seeing Luna like this. "Luna, I know I'll be facing some old enemies that hate me to my guts, but I know we're all gonna try and get through this. Because if there's one thing I know is that if you mess with one Loud ….."
"You mess with all of us, but if they mess with you little bro, then they pick a fight with me!" said Luna.
They stay like that for a while, but then Luna sees Lincoln has already fallen asleep.
So she places him onto his bed and joins him. "Goodnight baby bro, I promise that this guardian ain't gonna let now trouble get to you or anyone else, and that's a promise I'm willing to keep!" Luna places a kiss on his forehead and closes her eyes.
She soon falls asleep and both siblings share a smile as they drift off to dreamland while embracing each other.
On the desk, is Luna's notebook and Lincoln's notebook. Both of them have the lyrics to the song they're going to perform with they're partners at Bangers n' Mosh Duet contest.
Lincoln: Good time.
Luna: Can't stop the feeling.
Next stop, the big musical contest. Who's gonna win? You decide!
