Chapter 132
(The Loud House)
Lincoln comes out of his room and is on his phone. "Uh huh, okay, I'll be there soon and yes I know how to work an old fashioned mower."
Lincoln hangs up and is about to head downstairs.
"Hey Lincoln" Lucy comes out of nowhere and Lincoln jumps back. "Whoa!"
Lincoln then calms down. "Oh, hey there Lucy. You know even if we're now growing up, I still can't get over you just popping out of nowhere."
"Sigh, at least that's one thing I can still be happy about" replied Lucy.
"So, anything you need sis?" asked Lincoln.
"Yes, and no it is not about a poem" she then shows him her poetry book. "I already have it all done."
"Okay, so what do you need Luce?" asked Lincoln.
"I know you're going to do some yard work for some big date for you and your friends and all your dates" said Lucy.
Lincoln was shocked at what she just said. "How did you know all that?"
"Great Grandma Harriet told me" replied Lucy.
Lincoln had no clue how to respond to any of what she just said. "Okay, so what is ti you want from me?"
"Can I please take Lulu for today?" asked Lucy.
This was not what Lincoln was expecting from the darkest and gloomiest sister in the family.
"Umm, why?" asked Lincoln.
"Lori is with Leni at the mall and Mom and Dad already left for work, and I need a ride to the cemetery" replied Lucy.
Lincoln wasn't sure how to deal with this, usually Lucy would rather walk but this was a first.
"Okay, I guess you can borrow her, come on" They both head out of the house and into the garage.
They open the garage doors and see Lulu appear and activate. "Greetings Lincoln and Lucy, what is it that you require from me, dude?"
Lincoln chuckled. 'She still has that Luna voice.' "Lulu, Lucy needs you for a ride for today, you think you can do that?"
Lulu looks to Lucy and scans her. "It will be a pleasure to escort your sister to wherever she needs to be."
Lucy smiles. "Wicked, well we should get going."
Lincoln then remembers what Lisa told him, some of the updates to Lulu. "Lulu, change color to suit Lucy's style."
"Affirmative Lincoln, color change initiated." Lulu changes from her normal light blue and orange, to black and crimson red.
Lucy was amazed and impressed. "Wicked!" Then Lulu deploys a black umbrella to keep her from the sun. "Nice."
Lincoln hops onto his bike and Patriot flies up. "See you soon Luce and keep an eye on her Lulu." Lincoln then takes off with Patriot to do some yard work, they do pass by Rusty and Zach who were delivering some packages.
Lucy riding Lulu also takes their leave.
Lola and Lana saw everything from the living room.
"That car can change color?!" said Lola.
"That was so cool!" said Lana.
Luan comes in and overhears them. "Guys, just because Lulu can do that doesn't mean you guys have the rights to take her whenever you want, if you wanna use her just ask Lincoln."
Lola sighs. "Fine."
"I'm just so stoked at all of those upgrades Lisa gave her!" said Lana.
"Well I guess Lisa sure is an update to the new things for Lulu, she's sure to not glitch out!" said Luan.
Lola looks at her irritated. "Is this gonna keep going on through this chapter?"
(Royal Woods Cemetery)
Lucy and Lulu soon arrive at their destination. "Stay here Lulu, keep watch."
"Affirmative Lucy" Lulu remains in place and stays on sentry mode.
Lucy walks through the graveyard and then spots the person she was looking for and she smiles.
There leaning onto a tomb stone and writing on his notebook was Rusty's little brother, Rocky Spokes.
Rocky looks up and smiles when he sees Lucy. "Hi Lucy, you made it."
"Sigh, I would never miss our daily hang out times through poetry" replied Lucy.
"Well, about that. I haven't figured out any new poems since yesterday, you could say I have writers block or better yet poet's block. Is that a thing?" said Rocky.
"Not sure, but don't worry I can help you" replied Lucy.
"Cool, so you ready to begin?" asked Rocky.
Lucy smiles and pulls out her poetry journal. "Let's."
(One hour later)
Lucy and Rocky are both sitting on top of a Mausoleum.
"So, you done?" asked Lucy.
"I am, you wanna hear it?" asked Rocky.
"Sure" replied Lucy.
Rocky clears his throat.
Oh darkness within.
We speak to our sin.
But from what I see.
Nothing but you, oh my Lucy.
We met as lost souls.
Seeking no love nor goals.
But when we talked and made friends.
I know we'll be more than that, all the way to the end.
Rocky then sees Lucy blush. "Wow! That was very beautiful Rocky."
Rocky blushes. "T-Thanks, this was the poem I've been having trouble with, and I wanted to get to tell you all about it too."
Lucy scooches closer and holds his hand.
"That poem is so true and I have one for you as well Rocky" replied Lucy.
Rocky smiles and gets ready to listen.
Red as ketchup, or is it blood.
No other boy, I rather could.
But to you I was nervous and therefore blinded.
By my meddling sisters who thought was right.
But thanks through my courage and my brother.
I found the strength to tell you now, not the other.
Then our souls were bind, as if fate may be.
And so it is to you, my dark heart felt so free.
Lucy could see the stunned and blushing look on Rocky's face. "That was kinda beautiful, was that how you felt about me?"
Lucy looks away and blushes. "Y-Yeah, but we both know that."
Rocky and Lucy then sit close to each other and holds hands.
Then Lucy has an idea and decides to kick it up a notch and lean onto his shoulder.
Rocky feels tense and looks to Lucy, even though he can't see her eyes, he knows that she's looking at him.
Some part of Rocky wants to see what she really looks like, he's not complaining that she's not pretty. But he would love to see the Lucy behind the dark bangs.
But another part of his thoughts told him. 'No, respect her privacy. She'll show me when she's ready, and I'll be patient.'
Lucy then intertwines her fingers with Rocky's and he uses his arm to bring her closer.
They stay like this for another ten minutes, then Lucy asks him. "Rocky?"
Rocky turns to Lucy.
"Do you think we'll be like, together, even as we grow up?" asked Lucy.
That was something Rocky was flustered about. "I'm not sure Lucy, I mean we both enjoy each other's company, we both like to write poems and we're both members of the Young Morticians club. Maybe we will be together, whether be in life or in death."
Lucy felt touched by his words. "Have we been on an actual date before?"
"I don't really know, we're both nine and we're not ready for an alone time date. We've been hanging out with our older siblings on dates and that's all I know" replied Rocky.
"Yeah, so I guess when we're ready we can go on an actual date" said Lucy.
"But, even though we haven't been on an alone time date, we have been doing one thing that the others haven't when they were young" said Rocky.
"And what's that?" asked Lucy.
Rocky then kisses her cheek. "Telling each other how much we feel for each other, or in shorter words."
"How we love each other, but not in an advanced way" said Lucy.
Then as if they were in sync, they both came up with a poem together as they look onto each other's gaze.
Rocky: To my dearest shadowed vampire.
Lucy: To my cool lover in deep ire.
Rocky: My heart feels as if life is worth nothing.
Lucy: My heart skips as if there is living.
Rocky: Ignored by many, and yet loved by few.
Lucy: True to others and laid back as your new.
Rocky: We both found each other, from our own lost cause.
Lucy: We both discovered each other, from which times pause.
Rocky: I never knew, the girl for me was dark and gloom.
Lucy: and for me is be the boy, no less than a summer's bloom.
Rocky: together we find solace in our company.
Lucy: From beyond those who dare not see.
Both: For you are the one, I was truly meant for eternity.
Lucy and Rocky share a quick kiss, and then look at each other.
Lucy blushes and looks away and Rocky chuckles.
"Well …. That happened" said Rocky.
"Yeah ….. Jordan was onto something with this romance stuff and I guess my sisters as well" said Lucy.
"So, you wanna get going?" asked Rocky.
Lucy leans onto his shoulder. "No, let's stay like this. For a while."
Rocky smiles and he rests his head onto hers and they sit there and listen in to the sounds of the silent cemetery.
Lulu is watching this and is confused. "I thought she was still too young for this, I should tell Lincoln about this later, and show him this image." Lulu snaps a picture of the young couple.
"Though, he will be happy to see his little sister happy." said Lulu.
Then a figure walks towards them. "What are you kids doing here?"
Lucy and Rocky see the shadowy figure in the fog.
"You two shouldn't be here at this hour, I will be doing a eulogy later."
Lucy and Rocky get off the Mausoleum. "Sorry sir, we were just hanging out" said Rocky.
The figure steps out and they see who it was.
Wearing a black trench coat, black combat boots, black pants and shirt with fingerless gloves, and a large black hat.
"Why do you look so familiar?" said Lucy.
"Yeah, it's like I've seen you before" said Rocky.
The large man looks down to them, he then looks to Lucy. "You bare a dark heart, a dark heart that craves the excitement of those who have passed and communed with those who have been deceased."
Lucy was shocked by what this man said. "What?"
"From beyond the grave you shall seek those you have spoken to and from those you have spoken to will lead you down the path that has been dug by souls of neither innocent nor guilty, and I have dug many holes, for many souls" replied the man.
Rocky was kinda shocked at this man's words, but he sounded so familiar.
The man looks to them with his pale white eyes. "You two should leave now, the funeral will start in" He checks his pocket watch. "Ten minutes."
Rocky grabs Lucy's hand and they leave, but then Lucy stops and looks to him. "Excuse me sir, but who are you?"
The man turns around and looks to them with his menacing white eyes as thunder is heard from the distance. "I have had many names, the Phenom, the prince of darkness and the most undisputed streak of all time, now go forth or thou shall Rest. In. Peace."
The man turns around as fire ignites to the trees and thunder is heard with a clash of lightning.
Lucy and Rocky back away and hop into Lulu and they drive off.
The man then looks normal. "Kids, they always wanna do things they're way and not listen." He then heads to the nearby funeral and grabs his book from his jacket that has a keychain with a "W" logo on it.
With Lucy and Rocky.
"That was exhilarating" said Lucy with a smile.
"Yeah, whoever he was seemed so intense and so awesome" said Rocky.
"You think we should tell the others about that man?" asked Lucy.
"I don't know if they even know him, and I have no clue who he is, but I swear I've heard that voice before on TV" said Rocky.
"Perhaps Lincoln would know, he has been watching some old WWE videos as of lately" said Lulu.
Lucy and Rocky look at Lulu. "What?"
And here we are with the third part. Has anyone figured out who the mysterious man in the Cemetery is? Also, I made this chapter because you guys have been asking for some Lucy and Rocky time, so I delivered. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
