Chapter 131
(Royal Woods Elementary)
Lincoln and Jordan are walking side by side towards their lockers.
"So, you looking forward to the Sadie Hawkins dance this Friday handsome?" asked Jordan.
"You know it beautiful, this is gonna be our first Sadie Hawkins dance as a couple" replied Lincoln.
"If I can recall from what Tabby told me, you went there last time with Tabby, Haiku, Polly and Giggles. Which was caused by all four of your sisters meddling, sort of. And that's how you hooked up your pals with those girls" replied Jordan.
Lincoln blushes. "Yeah, it is true. But I actually wanted to go to the arcade, so I had to lie."
"Well, that's the past now and we're both on the same page on going to this dance and making it our most memorable" said Jordan.
"True, we are inbound for middle school soon and I wanna share every last elementary moment we have here" said Lincoln as he takes Jordan's hand and kisses it.
Jordan blushes. "Oh you! Also are you going to have that boys chat with the others?"
"I am, me, Simon, Rusty, Zach and Liam, and if he's not busy Clyde as well" replied Lincoln.
"Well, whatever it is I know you boys will figure it out" replied Jordan.
"Hey guys" they both turn around to see Rusty, Polly, Liam, Tabby, Zach and Giggles.
"Hey guys, you all stoked for this Friday?" asked Lincoln.
"We are, and I am so gonna test how long Rusty can take a whirl" said Polly.
Rusty blushes. "She knows how to spin my heart away."
"Giggles and I have one heck of a surprise for all of you at the Sadie Hawkins Dance" said Zach.
"And I can assure that it'll be one to remember us by" replied Giggles as she boops Zach's nose, in which they both chuckle.
"Me and this handsome ruffian are going to be doing what we did last time at the Sadie Hawkins Dance" said Tabby.
"We're gonna turn it up to eleven!" replied Liam.
Tabby kisses his cheek. "You know me so well my farm boy!"
"And let's not forget that Luna will be there to jam some tunes and Lincoln's dad is catering the whole event" replied Jordan.
"Which makes this week's Sadie Hawkins dance very special to me" replied Lincoln.
"By the way, where the heck is Stella?" asked Polly.
"I didn't even see her this morning" said Giggles.
"Same with Simon" replied Rusty.
"Where in the tarnations are those two anyway?" asked Liam.
Lincoln turns around and smiles. "Guys, I think I know where they are.
They all look at Lincoln's direction and spot Simon and Stella walking side by side and talking to each other.
But what caught their eye was that they were holding hands.
"What in the heck?" asked Polly.
"Whoa man" said Rusty.
"Wow, now that's what I call quick love" said Zach.
"They look as smitten as Jordacoln" said Giggles.
"She has a point" replied Tabby.
"When did all of this here happened?" asked Liam.
Jordan looks to Lincoln and smiles. "So, this is the results from yesterday?"
"Yup, Simon's no longer grounded, two of them hanging out for the whole day and then me and the rest of my family see them kissing right in front of Stella's house" replied Lincoln.
"What?" they all asked.
Then Simon and Stella approach them.
"Hey guys, what's up?" asked Stella.
"Well, we're all hyped for the Sadie Hawkins Dance and we're all looking forward to this month of love" replied Tabby.
"What else are we missing?" asked Rusty sarcastically.
Simon and Stella chuckle. They know what they're all trying to say.
"We'll tell you guys what we did yesterday later, deal?" said Stella.
They all nodded in agreement.
"My friends are so going to wanna hear what you and Simon did" said Jordan.
"Speaking of friends, do they have anyone to go with to the Sadie Hawkins dance?" asked Lincoln.
Jordan also realized this. "Now that you mention it, they never did tell me about that. I'll ask them later at lunch."
Then they all hear the bell ring. "And that's first period, we should all get going" said Simon.
They all Finnish putting whatever stuff they had and head for Mrs. Johnson's classroom, and she is in a good mood. Why? Norm the Janitor is asking her on a date on Saturday night, right after the Sadie Hawkins dance.
(Time skip, lunch)
"Man, gym was rough" said Rusty.
"Tell me about it, but at least we managed to survive. Even Clyde" replied Zach.
"Where is he anyway?" asked Liam.
"I think Clyde and Penelope are having lunch with Principal Huggins, they're still making some more plans for the Sadie Hawkins Dance" replied Simon.
"I guess he has his own thing handled, which means we'll have to discuss something by ourselves" replied Lincoln.
His pals were confused by what he said. "What are you talking about man?" asked Rusty.
"Listen, your lady friends mean a lot to you right?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah" replied Rusty.
"Pretty much" said Zach.
"Of course buddy" said Liam.
"Stella and me are smitten with each other" replied Simon.
"And we have to talk about that later, but as of now I have an idea on how you guys can have some great gal time with your soul mates" said Lincoln.
"I wouldn't call Polly my soul mate just yet" said Rusty.
"Same, me and giggles are just seeing where our relationship is going from here" said Zach.
"But you two like hanging out with them right?" asked Lincoln.
"We do" replied Rusty and Zach.
"Then how about this, we have a big date get together on Saturday, make it one big date get together" said Lincoln.
"Wow, that does sound kinda fun and romantic" said Liam.
"You bet I'm in on that" said Rusty.
"Same here Lincoln" replied Zach.
"I already asked Stella for a date on Saturday, I asked her yesterday" replied Simon.
"Good for you Simon, I intend to ask Jordan soon" replied Lincoln.
Then Rusty realizes something. "As great as it is for us to come together for a date with our ladies, some of us aren't that big on cash."
"He's got a point, even if I do my chores on time I won't get much from my rents" said Zach.
"I already earned a few bucks, but I doubt it could fit anything fancy for Tabby" replied Liam.
"I have my reserve cash, but I could use some extra" said Simon.
Lincoln smirks. "I knew you guys would say that, let's all do some odd jobs around our neighborhood. That way we can earn some extra bucks and gain some respect from our neighbors and make this big date all worthwhile."
They all smiled hearing that.
"I did hear they need a new paper boy. I'm good on my bike, my throw is the problem" said Rusty.
"Maybe we can tag team, I can do a good throw thanks to pie throwing practice with Giggles" said Zach.
"Sounds great man" said Rusty.
"I can do some gardening for the neighbors, I am good at pulling weeds, oh and taking down pests while doing no harm to any garden. Just ask my ma, I took down ten gophers and her garden is still intact" said Liam.
"I already do some yard work for my neighbors and they still ask for some assistance, I could use some back up Simon" said Lincoln.
"Sounds cool, plus if they need someone to take out the trash, I can do it" replied Simon.
"Okay, so we have our plan and we have our roles. Let's start tomorrow and make it count all the way before the Sadie Hawkins dance" said Lincoln.
"Totally man!" said Rusty.
"We are so going to nail it" said Zach.
"Hot dang Linc" said Liam.
"Some work for some cash and some happy time with our ladies" said Simon.
"The other person who might not get involved is Clyde, he's still focused on the dance and he might have his own plans for Saturday night" said Lincoln.
"He actually does, when I visited his place yesterday, I hear that Clyde and his dad's along with Penelope's parents are gonna go antique shopping in another town. They could be back on next Monday" replied Zach.
"Yup, Clyde has his own thing" said Lincoln.
"What is up with Clyde and Antiques anyway?" asked Simon.
"It's just what his dad's taught him, though I think they treat him more like them fine china" replied Liam.
"By the way, should my little bro rocky get in on this? Him and Lucy do have this small thing for each other" said Rusty.
"As much fun as it could sound, I don't want your little bro getting hurt through some work. Plus, Rocky and Lucy are nine, and I don't think they're both ready for a mature date just yet. Also Lucy has her own plans for Saturday night" said Lincoln.
"Okay man, but I have to tell Rocky on what I'm doing, I don't want him to worry" said Rusty.
"It's cool Rusty" Lincoln and the guys then look to Simon. "What?"
"Tell us, what did happen yesterday" said Zach.
Simon chuckles and tells his friends about his sort of date with Stella.
Meanwhile on the other table, Stella tells Jordan and her friends about her time with Simon as well.
Jordan also gets some chatter about her gal pals and who they're bringing to the Sadie Hawkins dance.
(Time skip, after school)
Simon walks away from his locker and he runs into Poppa Wheelie and Flat tire, they both look kinda regretful.
But Simon is not happy to see them. "What do you two want?!"
"Listen, Simon we're really sorry for what we tried to make you do with Lincoln's car and we're sorry for all the wrong doings we did to your sister too" said Poppa Wheelie.
"Yeah, we were really dumb and we should've been better friends" said Flat Tire.
But then they see Simon was gone, they turn around and see him walk away and meet up with Stella.
"Dang it" said Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire.
"You think mentioning what we did to his sister is still making him upset?" asked Flat tire.
"Yup" replied Poppa Wheelie.
With Simon and Stella, both of them are talking to themselves while leaving the school.
They then see Lincoln and Jordan meeting up with Luna.
Luna notices Simon and waves at him, this was shocking, but he sees Lincoln smiling and giving him a thumbs up.
To Simon it only means, that Luna was no longer fearful of him, but he wants to know why, and how did she overcome this stress ever since he confessed.
Then Stella holds his hand. "Come on Simon, we don't have any school work or big projects, wanna hit the arcade?"
Simon smiles to the idea. "Okay, but after one hour I gotta go and do something important at home."
Stella nods. "Sure, is it something involving that guy talk you had with Lincoln?"
Simon chuckles. "You can say that."
They then spot Zach and Giggles, Giggles was helping him get used to the unicycle.
Rusty and Polly race past them, Rusty is actually improving on roller skating, now if he could only work on stopping.
Liam and Tabby walk out the school with their banjo and axe in hand.
Lucy and Rocky are walking with the rest of the young morticians club members, looks like they're gonna have some kind of meeting.
Penelope and Clyde hop into his golf cart and take their leave, they were both chatting about decorations and the right colors.
They see Lincoln and Jordan wave goodbye to them and then leave with Luna inside of Chunks van.
Simon and Stella hop onto their bikes and they take their leave, to Simon. 'Soon, it'll be time to get to work!'
And this is the second part of the incoming Valentine's Day/Sadie Hawkins Dance. Leave a review and tell me what you all think
