Chapter 129
(The Loud house)
Lincoln and Luna are both strumming on their acoustic guitars in the tree house.
"So, how does it feel to win bro?" asked Luna.
"It feels great still. I mean I have been in a contest last year and it was kinda cool. But what I'm concerned about is going to school tomorrow" replied Lincoln.
Luna chuckles. "Yup, first you have a great singing voice from your small stage grading at school, you were a great singer at Jordan's birthday party, we sang our hearts out during the big family Christmas party and now you and Jordan are awesome as a duet!"
"This is gonna make me even more popular when I go to school sis, and to think I wasn't looking for popularity" said Lincoln.
Luna ruffles his hair. "Well you did learn from yours truly, anything from your lady Jordan?"
"She's busy at her home right now, but she said she was gonna come by to see how everything is doing" replied Lincoln.
"And it was kinda sweet that you let her keep the trophy" said Luna.
"She was the one with the most harmonious voice during the duet, so I believe she earned it" replied Lincoln.
"Bro, both of you and Jordan were harmonious yesterday, and you guys can use the free meal coupons if you two ever go on a date there" replied Luna.
"So true" replied Lincoln. Then they heat someone calling his name from the bottom of the tree house.
"Hey Lincoln! We were gonna go and hang out at Gus'. You in?" asked Rusty.
And with Rusty is Zach, Liam, Tabby, Clyde, Penelope and Stella.
"Not today guys, I need a break after yesterday" replied Lincoln.
"Okay man" replied Zach.
"You were still pretty cool back there" said Rusty.
"I guess we'll see you around Lincoln" said Clyde.
"You earned the rest mate" said Tabby.
"Later buddy" said Liam.
Lincoln watched as his pals all leave to Gus'.
"Why didn't you go with them bro?" asked Luna.
"As much fun as it sounds, I'd rather be here at the tree house or with my big sis than just hang out at the arcade, plus I could use the break" said Lincoln.
"Aww, come here you" Luna pulls Lincoln in for a hug.
"Hey guys" they get startled by Lucy. "Is this a bad time?"
"No, not really. What is it Luce?" asked Lincoln.
"Sigh I need your help, anything that rhymes with Happiness" said Lucy.
"Stress, less or compress" replied Lincoln.
"Thanks Lincoln" Lucy then walks out of the tree house.
Soon Lincoln and Luna come down the tree house, but Lincoln gets tackled by Jordan.
Luna chuckles. "And that happened."
Jordan helps him back up. "Got you again handsome."
"Dang right you did, are you gonna keep on doing these tackle hug every time your coming over?" asked Lincoln.
"Sorry Linc, force of habit. So what are you two up to?" asked Jordan.
"We were just having a small guitar talk alone in the tree house, if you two want some alone time I can do that" said Luna.
"Actually, we wanna talk to you about something Luna" said Jordan.
Lincoln knew what she was talking about. "I wanted to wait for Jordan to come here so we can ask you together."
Luna was confused by this. "Okay, so what is it?"
Lincoln and Jordan looked at each other and then back to Luna. "Can you teach us on how to sue some other instruments?"
Luna was shocked by this. But then she smiled. "So, you guys want me to mentor you two, on being musical?"
"Yeah, as you know middle school will be coming after summer" said Jordan.
"And we heard from Margo last month that their putting up the Royal Woods Middle kids Singing contest" replied Lincoln.
"So, we decided that once we head to middle school, we're gonna sign up on it" said Jordan.
"The prize is a trophy" replied Lincoln.
Luna felt honored that they would pick her to teach them. "Wow dudes, this is unexpected. Sure I can teach you two lovebirds, but we're gonna have to start once summer Vacay begins, got it?"
"Sure thing Luna" replied Lincoln and Jordan.
Luna then hugs them both. "This is an honor to teach you two."
Lincoln and Jordan return the hug. "And we're glad that you could do this."
Then Luna's phone goes off. She breaks away from the hug and sees who it is. "Oh, it's Sam. I gotta take this call dude."
"Go ahead Luna, we're just gonna have some me and my lady time here" said Lincoln.
Jordan blushes and kisses his cheek.
Luna smiles at this and heads back inside.
Lincoln and Jordan both suit underneath the tree and watch as the clouds fly by.
"So, tell me handsome. Did you find out what your talent is?" asked Jordan.
Lincoln looks to her and moves a stray hair from her face. "Yeah, I think I did. And I know exactly who to thank for it."
What they don't know is that Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa are seeing this.
"So, Lincoln found his talent" said Lynn Jr. "Dang it. And I thought for sure he was gonna be into sports."
"Sure Lynn, because he's such an athlete" said Lola.
"I'm actually happy that he found his talent" said Lana.
"It does make perfect sense, both he and Jordan have performed remarkably well last night and I cannot stop thinking about the song still" said Lisa.
"Same, it's all tuned up in my brain, that I can't stop the feeling but to keep listening in! Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
They all groan. "Come on, it was funny" said Luan.
"Well, at least he won't doubt himself if he feels like he has no talent. I'm proud of him" said Lucy.
"Like, same! I still have their song in my phone and now it's my ringtone" said Leni.
"I'm also going to send this video to Bobby later, I'm sure he'll also show it to Ronnie Anne and Sid" said Lori.
Then they all hear Luna coming up the stairs and heads to her room.
"And all it took was some new roommate arrangements" said Lisa.
"And with a romantic push from Jordan" replied Lynn.
"Technically it was Luan who wanted to switch rooms with Lincoln" said Lola.
"That is true" said Lana.
"So, I guess you can say that I am one mind switching sister, if you ask me it's a-tuned for the better! Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
They all groan.
With Luna, she is in her room pacing back and forth while talking to Sam.
"Hey Sam, what's up?"
"Dude! I just heard from Chunk that the song we performed is a hit on social media! And what's better is that Lincoln and Jordan's song was also a big hit!"
"Wait what? Really?"
"Yes Really! I think it's only a matter of time before some big record company wants to sign us all up!"
"That's great! But I don't wanna go on with that gig yo, remember America's next Hitmaker?"
"Oh yeah, I guess you're right. What are the odds those two clowns of hosts will hear about this?"
"IF they do, then Doug and Michelle will have to go through me first! But they're still in jail, right?"
"Not really Lunes, I heard that they were given a light sentence and are doing community service for the next two years, plus they're not allowed to do any talent hunting until then."
"Dang, I wish they did go to jail. I do not want them to know about this Sam."
"Same here Lunes, so how is the little dude anyway?"
"He's worried about going back to school and getting crowded by the kids there" replied Luna. "His lady friend is here and they just asked me something."
"Really? What is it?"
"Okay, they want me to be their musical mentor!"
"Wait what? Why?"
"Well since they will be off to middle school after summer, they heard about a big musical talent show there and they wanna sign up once they're ready. So they want me to teach them before they get to middle school."
"Wow Luna. That is just awesome! Good for you."
"And I was thinking, maybe you'd like to be my co-mentor in it as well."
"That does sound nice, sure I'd love to help you teach the little dudes. You know, I'm starting to think Lincoln is more like you now."
"What do you mean babe?"
Well, let's do a background check. He hasn't figured out who he truly is, he found the love of his life and he wants to spend his whole life with her, he tries his best to be a good big sibling, he was lost when he had no clue who he was way before he met Jordan, he would always do many good things to see his siblings happy and he before all of this, he kept searching for his talent from comic books, games and other random stuff. Sound kinda familiar?"
Luna then understands what Sam meant.
"He's, just like me."
"Bingo, and what do you two have in common now?"
"I became musically talented when I went to my first Mick Swagger Concert, and I helped ignite his musical spark!"
"And now you see what his talent is now, he learned from you Luna and I think that's what he wants to be, as musical and possibly as Loud as you."
"I guess you're right Sam. But we can't be too certain, I'll ask him later."
"Okay then, talk to you soon Lunes and tell me when he tells you if it is his talent."
"Will do, bye Sam."
"Bye Luna."
Luna puts her phone on the desk and thinks about it. 'Does Lincoln have the same likings as me? Am I the reason he wants to be mentored?"
Luna then looks out the window and sees Lincoln and Jordan making out. Luna smiles at the cute romance session they were having.
(Night time)
Luna finishes at the bathroom and is about to head to her room, she's already in her PJ's, just then she hears a very familiar song.
Luna heads down the hallway and peeks into the room of Lily and Lisa.
Inside she sees Lincoln with his acoustic guitar, singing a small lullaby version of "Good Time" to Lily and Lisa who is now fast asleep.
Luna then recalls a memory.
(Flashback)
Luna heads into Lincoln's room and she sings him a lullaby.
The little white-haired baby claps at first, but soon he gets sleepy.
Luna continues to sing and then tucks him in, then she places a kiss on his forehead and sees that he is fast asleep.
"Good night my beautiful little baby brother, Luna loves you."
(End flashback)
Luna then snaps out of her imagination.
She then sees Lincoln still singing, puts his guitar down and tucks Lily in and kisses her forehead.
"Goodnight my sweet little baby sister, Lincoln will always be there for you."
Luna is now shocked, this was just like her. She then goes back to her room quickly, but quietly.
Lincoln soon comes out of the room with his guitar in hand and walks to the room he shares with Luna, and he's already in his PJ's.
When Lincoln steps in he sees Luna sitting by his lower bunk and looking at him. "Hey Luna, what are you still doing up? It's a school night." Lincoln puts his guitar away.
"Yeah, yeah I know bro. I was just waiting for you" replied Luna.
"Really? Why?" asked Lincoln.
"Come sit next to me little bro" said Luna.
Lincoln is confused, but he does so and sits next to her. "So, what is it Luna?"
"Lincoln, do you know what your talent is?" asked Luna.
Lincoln sighed. "I figured one of my sisters would ask me about that. Okay, so I guess I should be honest. At first I thought I would be good at sports since Jordan taught me during dodge ball, then I thought I was good in online gaming and typing since I play some MOBA games, next I thought it would be like a historian since I kina like the history of our great granddad, but then I found out what my true calling is, and that is being musical. Like you Luna."
Luna wasn't surprised, she hugs Lincoln. "Oh Lincoln, you really do remind me of myself."
Lincoln returns the hug. "You're the whole reason why I'm like this sis. I already know that you went through a lot when you were the middle child, you were my inspiration and I that's why I want you to be me and Jordan's mentor, because she also found her talent with music as well."
They soon break from the hug. "But what about all the other things you like to do? Don't they have any meaning for your future?"
"Well not that much, I mean sure I like dodge ball now, playing online team games and learning so much about war time history, but I like to see them as hobbies. Perhaps being a musician could be a god role for me, like you" replied Lincoln.
Luna didn't know what to say, she was proud to be Lincoln's reason for his talent. "Okay then little bro, but just so you know this whole gig with music ain't gonna be a walk in the park. There will be some mishaps when you can't figure out on a song."
"I know, and that's where my man-with-the-plan skills come in handy. I'll always have a backup talent to go back to should things turn bad for me" replied Lincoln.
Luna smiled because she was glad he had one thing that made him unique. He was the man-with-the-plan. "Okay baby bro, making the right choice there is a good thing for ya."
They then look at the clock and see the time. "Well, we should be catching some Z's little bro."
"Yeah, it is a school night" replied Lincoln, he then gets onto his bunk and tucks himself in.
Luna places a kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight Lincoln, sleep tight and let the good dreams rush in."
Lincoln smiles. "Goodnight Luna, have a good night's rest and let all your dreams take you to where you wanna be."
Luna smiles and heads to her top bunk, soon both Loud siblings are now asleep.
From the other side of the door, Lori overheard everything. She was happy that Luna was the inspiration to Lincoln, but then Lori started to think. 'I'm going to college soon, and I won't be here for all of them.'
It was then Lori decided she wants to spend as much time with her siblings, before her time with them is gone, she enters her room and sees her little sister Leni fast asleep and mumbling about fashion.
Lori then gets an idea. 'I guess I'll start with Leni, and I know just how to do it!'
