Chapter 152
A request by Vasmasdas1, and also from reviewer Newt.
(Royal Woods Elementary)
The bell of the school rings, well the last bell of the school, which meant that all the kids can go home and relax or get started on some homework.
Lincoln is currently putting his things away into his locker, but then he is greeted by three kids from Lola and Lana's' class.
"Excuse me, Mr. Lincoln. Can we have your autograph?" asked one of the little girls.
Lincoln chuckles. 'This is the third time today, but they are cute when these kids act shy.' "Sure, and maybe we can head outside and you can be able to get Patriot and Valkyrie's autograph as well."
The three kids were happy to hear that, but as he is about to hand the kid the signed hat, Jordan also grabs it and signs it. "You think you were gonna do this without your girlfriends signed name?"
Lincoln chuckles. "Sorry, but these guys were just being shy and adorable, reminds me of when Lana and Lola would try that technique on me back then."
Jordan then hands the hat back to the little girl. "Thank you Jordan, you and Lincoln were really brave during that competition."
Jordan chuckles. "We were, as a team and with our eagle partners."
"Come on, Patriot and Valkyrie are probably outside" said Lincoln.
The three kids follow Lincoln and Jordan out of the school. All the while Lincoln and Jordan talk to each other.
"So, any homework later?" asked Lincoln.
"OF course, and you should know as well, since we're in the same class" giggled Jordan.
"Sorry about that, just teasing. Have any of your friends been keeping you safe from fans?" asked Lincoln.
"Pretty much. I have never seen Mollie act all protective over me, reminds me of when my mom would try and keep me safe at the park when I was four" said Jordan. "What about you and your crew?"
"They're trying their best to stand up for me. Simon was the most defensive, he was acting like a body guard mostly" said Lincoln.
"What makes you say that?" asked Jordan.
"He always wore glasses when he was with me. I don't need anyone protecting me from something like this. I know we're getting popular but we are not Hollywood celebrities" said Lincoln.
"I hear that" replied Jordan.
But what they don't know, is that a certain boy is watching them from behind the boy's restroom door.
A twelve year old boy, not in the same class as Lincoln and Jordan. Curly red hair, fair skin and freckles. He wears a red t-shirt with a yellow sphere and a black zigzag line on it. Blue jeans and black shoes. It was the boy from the Girl Guru Incident and bot who was trying to get Jordan's attention, Andrew.
Ever since Lincoln and Jordan became a thing, he has been scornful at their relationship. In a way he thinks. "That should be me with her! That should be me living that awesome life! That should be me becoming all popular! Why did she have to go for a guy like Lincoln Loud?!"
He has been planning on some schemes to put an end to this relationship of theirs, but then came the many incidents with the kids who messed with them.
Chandler, Hank and Hawk going to juvie and possibly jail, Boy Jordan being sent away from Royal Woods and also hitting juvie and finally that bratty kid Tyler, who is also serving juvie in his sentence.
Every kid who has hated Lincoln and Jordan have been dealt with, and the whole town is now on their side believing in their just cause and whatever kind thing they have done, and fixing whatever trouble that has happened in their town.
Lincoln has his friends who are the most resilient (sort of) and determined thanks to his motivation, Jordan has an extended cast of friends from her family and as well as her gal pals, Lincoln has his sisters who are all there to help him should there be a situation and finally the support of the Royal Woods police and Mayor Davis.
Jordan was the whole reason why Lincoln is now the boy he is today, a boy with talent for music, love for dodge ball sports, supportive to others who need help and finally this new rank of popularity and yet he shows he just wants to be treated as he normally is. But all wish to give their aid to him, for all he and his girlfriend have done.
Andrew had to keep low and wait, he needed a plan to make Lincoln and Jordan look bad, or better yet. Have them break up and get Jordan to notice him, he wants total revenge on Lincoln for stealing the girl he has been admiring.
Andrew has been plotting different schemes, but he knew they could fail. "How the heck am I gonna get those two to break up?!" said Andrew.
Then an idea went into his head, and he was ready to execute it. On Lincoln and Jordan.
(Later)
Lincoln is now in the tree house and he says goodbye to his friends after they hang out. Lincoln also comes down.
"So, you two gonna go wing suit flying again?" asked Rusty.
"We are, once Jordan's godfather comes back with the Rosato jet" said Lincoln.
"You guys have got to be the luckiest kids to do this kinda thing" said Liam.
"I for one am truly proud that you and Jordan were able to pull off a stunt like that" said Simon.
"Also, why isn't Clyde with us right now?" asked Zach.
"Because, if we all hang out in the tree house. Clyde will start talking about the many dangers of why Jordan and I shouldn't sky dive again" said Lincoln.
"Hmm, good point" said Zach.
"By the way, where is he anyway? I haven't seen Clyde since class" said Rusty.
"I heard that he had to help with some kind of vermin infestation in the basement. Not the mice kind, more like the insect kind" said Liam.
"Chances we might not have school again, soon" said Simon.
They all head to the front yard, and Lincoln sees something odd on the front door. "What the heck is that?"
It was a package with a note on it. "Are you or any of your sisters expecting a package?" asked Rusty.
"No, none of us" replied Lincoln. He reads the note. "From your true love Jordan, I do hope you love these."
Lincoln found this very odd. 'Why would Jordan write something as cheesy punned as this, and what is up with her handwriting?'
"Well, I'm gonna take these inside. See you guys tomorrow" said Lincoln.
"Okay then man" said Rusty. The other boys hop onto their bikes and leave the loud house front yard and head back home.
Lincoln goes into the house and opens the package, he sees they were cupcakes. This made Lincoln suspicious, they looked like vanilla cupcakes with caramel frosting on top. 'Jordan, made cupcakes?'
Lincoln was about to take a bite out of it, but then Charles smells something and starts barking at the cupcake.
The other sisters who are in the dining room and living room see this. Charles urns towards Lincoln and barks. "Oh, you want one boy?"
Lincoln places a cupcake onto the ground for Charles. "Glad these aren't chocolate."
Then the rest of his sister approached him. "Are those cupcakes?!" asked Lola.
"Can we have some?" asked Lana.
"Where the heck did you get them anyway?" asked Luan.
"From this note, it said they were made by Jordan. I don't think I can finish these on my won, you guys are welcome to have some" replied Lincoln.
"That's so nice of you Lincy" said Leni as she grabs one, so do Lola, Lana and Luan.
But then Lincoln notices Charles pushing his cupcake aside, and then Patriot swoops past them and grabs all of their cupcakes, while Valkyrie grabs the package.
"Hey!" yelled the girls.
"What the heck is the big idea?!" yelled Lola.
"We were gonna eat those!" said Lana.
"If you guys wanted some cupcakes you should've just asked" said Leni.
"That was flockingly rude! Hahaha! Get it? But seriously, what the heck?" said Luan.
Lincoln then sees Patriot and Valkyrie squawking in rage at the cupcakes, he then looks back to Charles who is growling at his cupcake.
Lincoln then realizes that something was wrong, so he grabs the package and the cupcakes and takes them to Lisa's room.
The other sisters were confused by this and follow him. Charles, Patriot and Valkyrie also follow Lincoln.
Lincoln knocks onto the door of Lisa and Lily. "Lisa it's me Lincoln, can I come in?"
"You may enter Lincoln" replied Lisa.
Lincoln steps in and sees Lily playing with her toys and Lisa folding the parachute away into the bag. "I have finished modifying the parachutes from both yours and Jordan's. Now they can be able to sustain whatever condition you two may be in when sky diving and are not easy to rip up anymore."
"That great and all Lisa, but I need your help with these" Lincoln shows her the box of cupcakes.
"Lincoln, I cannot eat all of this" said Lisa.
"No, not that. Can you see what these things are made of?" asked Lincoln.
"Why? What seems to be the problem Lincoln?" asked Lisa.
"That's what we wanna know too" replied Lola and she looked upset.
"When I saw Charles and the two eagles acting up on the cupcakes, I knew something was wrong. I know that animals can sense when something is wrong and I think there might be something wrong with these cupcakes" said Lincoln.
Lisa then takes sample of one of the crushed cupcakes and puts it into her scanner machine. Soon the results are in. Lisa grabs the result sheet.
"So, what is it Lisa?" asked Luan.
"Are they expired?" asked Lola.
"Because if they are, I don't wanna eat them anymore" said Leni.
"I'll eat anything that's expired!" said Lana.
Lola scoffed. "Of course you would."
"It says here, that these cupcakes have the equal amount of sugar and the equal amount of all ingredients known" said Lisa.
"So, these are good to eat?" asked Lola.
"But!" said Lisa. "There are some ingredients that were not meant to be. The baking powder used for them is riddled with rotten fish oil and human sweat, and the water used for the creation seems to have come from the sewer. Should anyone consume these disease riddled cupcakes, then they would surely fall ill."
Lola drops the cupcake and backs away. "Evil!"
Leni was now scared. "Okay, I am not eating cupcake until the end of the month."
Luan turns green and barfs into Lily's diaper bin.
Lana grabs the cupcake and tries to eat it, but Lisa grabs it and the package and locks it into a safe. "What are you doing?! Are you trying to get yourself infected?!"
"Lisa's right Lana. I do not want you getting sick" said Lincoln.
"Fine" replied Lana.
"But, who would do this?! Who would send these evil cupcakes here?!" asked Lola.
"Wait, didn't the note say Jordan made them?" asked Leni.
They all gasped. Even Lisa. "I highly doubt that."
Lincoln then looks to the note. "She's right, Jordan didn't do this."
"Are you sure?" asked Luan who was now normal after vomiting.
"I know I'm sure because ….. Jordan's is terrible at making cupcakes" replied Lincoln.
They all remain silent and look to Lincoln. "I'm sorry, what?" asked Lola.
(Flashback one month ago in cooking class with Mrs.' Johnson)
A massive explosion is in the home economics classroom.
The fire alarm goes off and Mrs.' Johnson has a fire extinguisher and uses it. "Are you two okay?"
The smoke clears and we see Lincoln and Jordan covered in black smudges. "Jordan, are you okay?" asked Lincoln as he coughs out smoke.
Jordan's right eye twitches. "I suck making cupcakes, that's why I'm more of a brownie gal."
(End Flashback)
They all remain silent.
"It's true, she doesn't mind being called that she's bad at cupcake baking. That's why her mom is the only one who can do it, heck even her dad admitted he can't make cupcakes right, so I guess she got it from him" said Lincoln.
"Wow. Poor Jordan" said Leni.
"Sure wish I could give her some pointers for that. But all I do mostly is pie" said Luan.
"If Jordan is making brownies, I call dibs on the whole tray" said Lola.
"So, this wasn't hers. So who did it?" asked Lana.
Lincoln and Lisa look at the note. "One things for sure, this is not her handwriting" said Lincoln,
"True, I have seen how she writes and this does not match her penmanship" said Lisa.
"So, someone is trying to set you up with bad cupcakes, this isn't good Lincy" said Leni.
"Yeah, I'll talk to Jordan tomorrow. Right now we should thank you guys for saving us" Lincoln turns to Charles, Patriot and Valkyrie.
"You guys are true heroes. Thanks" said Leni.
"After all this, I think I'm gonna stop eating from dumpsters now" said Lana.
"It was about time too" said Lola.
"This truly does prove animals and their sixth sense on things, that and Charles does have a good sense of smell" said Lisa.
"For a minute there, I thought I was gonna be Sick of cupcakes forever. But seriously, that was way too close, thanks guys" said Luan.
While they all thank they're pets for saving them from the Cupcakes. Lincoln looks to the note and wonders. 'Someone out there is after me, and I think that person might also be out for Jordan as well.'
(The next day)
Lincoln is now walking down the hallways, looking for his girlfriend. 'Where the heck is Jordan?'
He then spots her at her locker next to his. Lincoln approaches her. "Jordan!"
She turns and smiles to see him. "Hey there handsome. What's up?"
Lincoln then tells her about what happened yesterday.
"So, someone left a package of cupcakes at your house?" asked Jordan. "And it was signed by me?"
Lincoln nods. "But I know your hand writing and it was definitely not yours."
"Darn right it ain't and I am terrible at making cupcakes. Brownies and cakes sure, but cupcake are way beyond me" said Jordan.
"And that's why we need to figure out who's responsible for this" said Lincoln.
"I'm with you Linc, I just need to put some of my books away" she opens her locker and looks down confused. "What is this?"
Lincoln also sees what it as. It looked like the very same package he received. "That looks like the same package as I got."
Jordan picks it up slowly. "I got a bad feeling something is in here."
Lincoln sees a note. "And it says it was from me, but I know it's not. Look at this."
Jordan looks closely. "Yeah, that is not your handwriting at all."
"So, what should we do with it?" asked Lincoln. Jordan then places it back into her locker. "In the meantime, this stays in here until we can sort this all out after school."
"Good idea" replied Lincoln. They then head to class, and they also inform their friend's about the situation.
(Later, after school)
Lincoln and Jordan, along with Lincoln's sisters, Patriot, Valkyrie and their friends are now at the loud house. The place the package onto a small glass dome that Lisa made.
"And now we see what is inside it" said Lisa as she pushes a button.
A mechanical arm inside of the dome pokes the package, it then starts to vibrate and explode with red and black paint.
They all gasped. Jordan was wide eyed. "Those colors do not clash with me!"
"Not unless you're a true vampire Goth with personal issues" said Lucy. They all look at her. "What? I learned about it from Luan's friend Maggie."
"So, someone tries to prank Jordan and put the blame on Lincoln!" said Mollie. She then looks to Luan.
"What? I didn't do this! I swear!" said Luan.
"She has a point, Luan said she's just going to tone down her pranks from now on. After the incident last year with Jordan and her pranks" said Lincoln.
"Which is still something I regret to this day" said Luan sadly.
"So, who the heck is trying to make you two look bad and/or get hurt?" asked Lori.
"It can't be any of the kids that were sent to juvie" said Simon.
"They're not getting out anytime soon" said Zach.
"So, who did this?" asked Luna.
Lincoln looks to the two notes. "No clue, but we'll sort this out. Soon."
(The next day)
At the Local Net gaming hub. Lincoln, Jordan, Stella and Simon are playing Left 4 Dead 2 after school, and luckily they have no homework.
But then they had to pause they're game when they saw Sam and Luna come through the doors. "Lincoln!"
Adrien, the man who runs the place had no clue what was going on. And they should be lucky ti was just these four kids here and it wasn't too busy.
They paused their game and stood up.
"Luna? Sam? What the heck are you guys doing here?" asked Lincoln.
"Dudes! You gotta see this!" said Luna as she shows them what was on her phone posted on instagram. Adrien also joins in.
They were all shocked to see, it was an image of Lincoln kissing some random twelve year old girl no one has ever seen before.
"This stuff is trending all over town!" said Sam.
"Everyone is seeing this!" said Luna.
"What the heck is this?" asked Stella.
"Why is Lincoln kissing another girl?" asked Simon.
"Because he isn't" replied Adrien. They all look at him.
"Look at that" he points to the images edges of Lincoln. "This image has been edited, someone must've found a picture of Lincoln kissing and then edited it with this one, and also that girl does not exist."
"What?" they all ask.
"It's true, I've seen her before in some old computer game where you have to survive the mysteries of a school. Her name is Grace Pixeria Holmes and she's a detective" replied Adrien. "I played the game before, it's actually kinda fun."
Jordan then goes through her phone and sees an image. "Yeah, it's fake. Look at this."
She shows them an image of Lincoln and Jordan kissing on their date wince January, Lincoln has the same posture as the fake image. "Someone must've took this from the instagram page and edited it. What a dork."
They then see the comments from everyone in Royal Woods and the other towns.
Carol: That is definitely a fake.
Whitney: We learned something in class about image editing, this is so a fake.
Ronnie Anne: This has got to be the worst editing ever.
Sid: I know that girl! She's from a video game I used to play!
Lori: Whoever the heck is making this fake image! I will literally turn them into a human garlic knot!
LJ: Not before I play whack bat with their head!
Lisa: This is truly the most pathetic way to make Lincoln and Jordan look bad.
Rita: This is wrong, my son would never do this and I know everyone else does too!
Rick Rosato: What the heck am I looking at? Amateur revenge planning? This looks dumb.
Mayor Davis: Why is a game made character kissing Lincoln? She doesn't even exist and I doubt he knows her.
Officer Shoffner: And we have a delinquent in town, again.
The rest of the comments keep going. Everyone knows that this was definitely a fake.
They know that Lincoln would never betray Jordan, they're smitten for each other and have been through so much to just betray their relationship.
"At least everyone knows it's a fake" said Lincoln.
"Everyone knows your relationship too well guys" said Simon.
"So, someone out there wants to ruin you two" said Sam.
"But who in the right mind would do that?" asked Luna.
Then Jordan gets an idea. "Or this person wanted us to be mad at each other."
They all look at her confused, but Lincoln also understands. "Of course! The cupcakes were to have me get angry with Jordan, vice versa with the paint trap in the package for Jordan. Someone wants us to break up!"
"Wow! That was quick thinking you too. And I could get that this person is going to keep doing it until both of you never wanna see each other again" said Stella.
Then Jordan gets an idea. "But, what if we do just that."
"You mean break up with each other?!" said Sam. Luna did not like hearing that.
Luckily Lincoln understood. "No guys, what she means is. We pretend that we have broken up with each other, so that we can lure in whoever is doing this and end their reign of misery upon us."
"Okay, so I guess that's the plan. But you two are gonna need a lot of people in on this and we have no clue who really did this stuff" said Simon.
"I think I can help get people on board with this, I am good with social media systems and private messaging" said Adrien. "But, in order for it to work. WE need to know who this culprit is so we that kid won't know what we're up to."
"Okay, so who has it bad for Lincoln or Jordan?" asked Luna.
Lincoln and Jordan go through their thoughts on who would have a thing for them and might have gotten jealous from their now expanding relationship and popularity.
Then he looks to the posted picture and to Adrien. "Okay guys, I know we can't go see Lisa. She said she has playdate with Darcy at the park." They all look out the window and they can see Lisa and Darcy nearby at Ketcham Park.
Lincoln then looks to Adrien. "You said you're good with social media and private messaging right?"
"I am" replied Adrien.
Lincoln hands him the phone of Luna. "Can you track down who sent this?" The image was posted by the account name anonymous red head.
"I think I can" said Adrien. He then goes to his computer and opens up his instagram account and sure enough he sees the picture that is posted and is getting no likes or dislikes. "Let me do my magic!" Adrien cracks his knuckles and starts typing.
And then he gets a hit. "Got it!"
They all gather to him. "So, who's the punk who tried to do all of this?" asked Sam.
"What's the blokes name?!" asked Luna.
"Is he from our school?" asked Stella.
Adrien shows them the image of their suspect. A boy who Lincoln and Jordan are very familiar with. Andrew Jacob Hopkins.
"You gotta be kidding me?!" said Jordan.
Lincoln sighs. "I knew he would one day come back. I just didn't think he would wait this long."
"You know that kid?" asked Sam.
"Yup, you recall the Girl Guru thing Clyde and I did?" said Lincoln. Luna remains silent as she does recall this.
"The what now?" asked Stella.
"It's a long story" replied Jordan.
"So, now we know who Andrew is, and that he is the reason for all of this. What's the plan and I'll be sure to send private messages to those you guys know" said Adrien.
Lincoln and Jordan both were thinking of the same idea.
(The next day)
Andrew closes his locker and walks away. 'Okay, now how do I make Lincoln and Jordan break up this time? They're way too strong when it comes to their little romance for each other.'
But then he bumps into the one person he was thinking about. "Oh, hey there Jordan. Sorry to run into ya."
"Oh, hey Andrew. Sorry for bumping into you" The boy then hears the sad tone in her voice.
"Are you okay? You don't sound too happy as usual" said Andrew.
Jordan sighs. "It's just ….. Lincoln and I have broken up!"
Andrew is shocked by this. His plan worked! "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe we could hang out later, you look like you could use a friend."
Jordan just looks down in sadness. "Yeah ….. Whatever. Bye" she then walks away from him.
Andrew waits until she was out of sight. And he sees no one else was in the hallway. So he could finally do this. "Yes! My plan worked! Jordacoln Rosloud is no more! I Andrew Jacob Hopkins won!"
He jumps around and cheers for joy, and also does a weird little victory dance. "I did great with those cupcakes and paint bomb packages! Now all I have to do is woo Jordan into dating me, and it'll be me who becomes Mr. Popular!"
"I knew it" he turns around to see Lincoln, standing a few feet from him with a smirk on his face.
"What the?! Loud?!" said Andrew in shock.
"Yeah, it's me. Lincoln Loud, and now I know it was all you" said Lincoln.
Andrew scoffs. "Ha! So what? You can't prove nothing! I won and you don't have a girlfriend anymore! Now you're gonna be all alone!"
"He's not alone" standing next to him now was Jordan who came back. "I heard everything as well, which mean the plan went accordingly."
"What the what?" said Andrew in shock.
"And we already have the proof we need, when Jordan bumped into you. My little sister's nano microphone stuck to your shirt, and everyone heard it" said Lincoln. "And it's trending."
Andrew pulls out his phone and his recorded confession, along with his picture. "No! This wasn't supposed to happen!"
"Well, it did. We planned this the whole time, and we knew it was you. We just needed more proof" said Jordan.
"And we also had another plan, just in case" Lincoln snaps his fingers.
Lucy and Haiku come out of the vents that were above the lockers, and they had with them cameras. "You just got overshadowed" said Haiku.
"No!" yelled Andrew. "This was supposed to be about me! I'm supposed to be with Jordan, not you! This was about revenge! How the heck did you beat me like this?!"
Lincoln chuckles. "Because Jordan and I, we can be very clever when we think alike."
"Also, we tracked down who posted the image that you made. Lisa isn't the only smart person in Royal Woods who can track down a fake account" said Jordan.
Andrew backs away slowly, realizing his plans are crashing down. But then he bumps into Principal Huggins. "And I want to see you in my office!"
"Same here" Andrew sees The Loud parents, the Rosato parents and his own parents who were disappointed with him.
"N-No! This wasn't supposed to happen! I'm supposed to be better than Chandler and Boy Jordan!" yelled Andrew.
Then Lynn Jr holds his arms behind him and pushes him into Huggins office. "I suggest you don't resist, unless you wanna have a dislocated arm."
Andrew admits defeat. But he looks back to Lincoln and Jordan with a scorn look. "This isn't over!" He is then sent into Principal Huggins office.
Lincoln and Jordan sigh in relief. "Glad that was done, now we don't have to worry about him" said Lincoln.
"And if he does come back, then we'll be ready for him" said Jordan. "Just like with some of the others."
Lincoln and Jordan share a small kiss, but they have no idea that Simon and Stella were also in the hallway recording this on live stream, and everyone thought this was one romantic victory.
Lincoln and Jordan break the kiss and both walk out of the school hand-in-hand. "So, what's the name of your family's new pet duck?" asked Jordan.
A/N: I would like to thank Newt, who came up with this request long ago. I didn't have time to make it, so sorry. But I am happy to have made it now. And to Vasmasdas1 who came up with the whole concept, you rock dude! If you all have any ideas for future chapter, Then PM me. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
The full name of Andrew, is also the name of his voice actor Jacob Hopkins, I do not have any resentment to him. I just needed a full name for the character and it seemed to fit in nicely. No offense.
