Chapter 154

(The Loud House)

Lincoln finishes changing into his normal clothes. He then leaves the bedroom and sees Luna leaving the bathroom. "Hey bro, you ready for your visit to the middle school?"

"I am, though I still don't understand why Jordan and I were given a chance to go there early. The others at school won't be touring until Thursday or Friday" said Lincoln.

"Huh, that does sound kinda weird" said Luna. "When did you get this kind of word?"

"Last night, I got a test from Jordan who got a text from the Royal Woods middle school principal that the schedule has been changed for Royal Woods Elementary to go to the middle school on either Thursday or Friday, but we were getting an early tour today" said Lincoln.

Then the door of Lori and Leni's room opens. "I believe I can answer that one" said Lori.

"Lori?" said Lincoln and Luna.

"You see, Principal Rivers is close friends with Principal Ramirez. So she told Ramirez all about the things you two have done and not just the eagle contest, but also about how the two of you made the High school prom thing a big success. Make sense" said Lori.

Lincoln and Luna were shocked. "Wow, did not see that one coming" said Luna.

"Yeah. So, Jordan and I are getting special access, for today?" asked Lincoln.

"You both are, and here's the other kicker, since Lynn is known for her misleads and lesser knowledge of being a caring or good sports kind of person. Margo Roberts will be your orientation buddy" said Lori.

"Wow! That's awfully nice of her, and Jordan and I know her" said Lincoln.

"Just as long as LJ doesn't get involved then I'm okay with it" said Luna.

Then they see Lynn Jr come out of her room, looking at them confused. She then understood why they were there. "Let me guess. Is this about the whole thing with Lincoln and Jordan going to the middle school today?"

They all nodded. Luna placed her hand on Lincoln's shoulder, to keep him safe for if things escalate.

"No need to get all defensive guys, I am disappointed that I won't be your orientation buddy. But I understand" said Lynn. "But I am happy that Margo is gonna take up that role, she's a nice and very supportive person, also I have Lacrosse practice today."

Lynn then leaves to the stairs and heads for Vanzilla.

Lincoln sighs in relief. "We're gonna need to pick up Jordan." Patriot and Valkyrie fly out of the room and head outside.

"You got it bro" said Lori.

They all head for Vanzilla and drive off.

(Rosato Residence)

Jordan is waiting outside of her house with her school bag and lunch bag. "Where the heck are they?"

Jordan then sees Patriot and Valkyrie flying high. "Guess that means they're almost here."

She then sees Vanzilla and it stops right in front of her. Lincoln opens the door. "You ready to go beautiful?"

Jordan giggles. "You know it handsome." The other sisters still thought it was adorable on how they would call each other those names.

"Literally like Bobby and me" said Lori. She then starts the engine and they drive off.

"So, is there anything I should know before we make landing at Royal Woods middle school" asked Jordan.

Lincoln then tells her about the friendship between Principal Rivers and Principal Ramirez and their Orientation buddy is none other than Margo Roberts, which was a relief for Jordan, she did not want Lynn to be there for that.

Luckily, Lynn didn't hear any of that stuff.

(Royal Woods Elementary)

They had to drop off the younger sisters first.

Lincoln stops Lucy. "Luce wait, I want you to please keep an eye on your little sisters. You think you can do that?"

Lucy nods. "Lincoln, I got this. I'll be sure to watch over our little sisters, especially Lisa."

Lisa scoffs at this. "What could I possibly do that could be wrong?"

They all look at her sternly. "Never mind" replied Lisa.

"Have fun at middle school Lincoln" said Lana.

"Can you see if they have any classes or subjects involving beauty?" asked Lola.

Lincoln chuckles. "Lola I doubt they have any."

"I find that touring a college is far more resilient than middle school" said Lisa.

"Take it easy with those words Lis. I go to school there" said Lynn.

"Take care you guys" said Lincoln.

Lola, Lana, Lucy and Lisa wave goodbye to them as Vanzilla drives off.

"What was that all about?" asked Haiku out of nowhere, this causes Lisa, Lola and Lana to get startled.

Lucy smiles seeing her friend. "I have a lot to tell you, but I'm gonna have to tell it to the others as well."

"You mean Lincoln and Jordan's friends?" asked Lana.

"Yeah them" said Lucy. What they didn't know, is that Lincoln left Patriot and Valkyrie to help watch over them.

(Royal Woods Middle School)

They soon arrive to their destination. Lynn, Lincoln and Jordan hop off.

But then Luna also comes out to hug Lincoln and Jordan. "You two sure you're gonna be okay dudes?"

"We are sis, we're gonna have Margo with us as our orientation buddy. We're in good hands, so there's no need to worry" said Lincoln.

"She's the one person we know in the school, well next to Lynn" said Jordan.

"I'm still here you know" said Lynn.

Luna breaks the hug. "Okay, but if something does happen. Please do not hesitate to contact me, okay little bro?"

Lincoln knows how much Luna is worried about Lincoln, they have been through so much even with his enemies suddenly resurfacing. "Don't worry Luna. We'll be just fine."

Luna smiles and walks back to Vanzilla, then they all see Lynn's best friend and sports buddy Margo Roberts.

With her signature long brown hair, yellow short sleeved shirt, blue jeans and shoes. "Hey guys, Lincoln and Jordan. You guys ready for today?"

"We sue are" replied Lincoln and Jordan.

Then they hear a car horn, they all turn to see it was Luna who honking the horn. "Margo! Please keep an eye on them and help them when they need it, oaky dude?"

Margo was a bit confused by this. "Umm, sure. I can handle this, don't worry about it."

"Okay, just please make sure they stay out of trouble" said Luna.

"Okay Luna, I think she gets it" Lori then starts vanzilla and they drive off to High School.

They all watch as Vanzilla was off. "So, what the heck was that all about?" asked Margo.

"Well, whatever it is. I think it'll simmer down soon" said Lynn.

"She's just being caring and concerned" said Lincoln.

"Though, she seems more concerned than she usually is" said Jordan.

"Yeah, she is" replied Lincoln. But he knows why, it all started last night and he doesn't know if he should tell them.

"So, let's get inside then" said Margo. They all follow her. "By the way, where the heck are you eagles?"

"I gave them an important job back at Grade school" said Lincoln.

They all entered and saw the hallways had some kids who were either chatting or checking their lockers. Then someone notices them. "Hey look! It's Lincoln and Jordan!"

"Oh boy" said Lynn and Margo.

"Oh no" said Lincoln and Jordan.

All the kids start to gather and ask them questions, autographs and selfies.

But then Lynn uses an air horn on them. "Could you guys just back off?!"

"Yeah, just leave them be. They're only here for the middle school orientation" said Margo.

"They're right, we don't wanna be treated as celebrities. Just normal students" said Lincoln.

"No crowding and no more other stuff, we just wanna be treated like all of you" said Jordan.

All the students understand and they go back to what they were doing.

"Whew, that ended well" said Jordan.

"For a minute there, I thought we were gonna get ravaged or something" said Lincoln.

"Hey, at least you guys handled it like champs. Nice one" said Margo.

"Thanks Margo" replied Lincoln and Jordan.

Lynn chuckles. "They both know how to be champs when it comes to competitions or being their normal selves."

Then they go through the halls, but first Margo had to do something first. "Lynn, can you please just leave us be. I know you wanna keep an eye on them, but Luna did want me to take that role, so you can go and do your thing elsewhere."

Margo knows just how defensive Lynn is when her siblings are in her school, and Margo can tell that Lynn had some advice that might get them into trouble.

Lynn sighs. "Fine, just keep an eye on them and help them with whatever they need." Lynn the heads off to another direction.

"Well, that went better than I hoped" said Margo. "Are all your sisters like this?"

"Sometimes. Though Luna tends to be more cautious about me since we're roommates and after all the trouble that's been happening" said Lincoln.

"The others are cautious in their own way" said Jordan. "This could be one of Lynn's first times to be this cautious with us being here. Since we have already been to the high school."

"Oh yea, I saw that one. You guys were pretty awesome" said Margo.

They walk through the halls, and that's when Margo gives them some advice. "If you two ever get lost and don't know where you're classrooms are, just ask. None of the kids here are like the ones from last year, so they won't be any trouble when you ask them for directions."

"Cool, but what did happen last year?" asked Lincoln.

Margo sighed. "Well, last year some sixth grader who just came to this school asked some eight graders directions, she was sent on a wild goose chase all over the school, and never made it out until the whole day was finally over."

"Whoa! That must've been brutal for her" said Lincoln.

"Is she okay though?" asked Jordan.

"She is, thankfully those eight graders are no longer here. They were reported by someone who saw the whole ordeal and they were expelled for bad behavior" replied Margo.

"Well that's a relief" said Lincoln.

Then they hear the bell ring. "Well, that's first period. We should get going." She then hands them class schedules. "You guys have the same schedules as I do, so I can help you guys out."

"Thanks" replied Lincoln and Jordan.

"Though, I think if we keep passing by places through the school, we might be able to know the full lay out and not get lost" said Jordan.

Margo chuckles. "Okay then, let's get moving."

They soon make it to their classroom, Homeroom.

"Okay, so you guys can sit anywhere since there are no assigned seats. Also, be respectful if someone has dibs on it" said Margo.

"Okay" replied Lincoln.

"Though I'm sure a lot of kids here know who you guys are" said Margo. They then see all of the classmates there waving at them.

"Huh, I see" replied Jordan.

Lincoln and Jordan were able to sit on some nice desks and thankfully they were near each other and in front row with Margo behind Jordan.

"Be lucky they cleaned all the seats during Christmas break. These seats used to be all messy, but now they're not" said Margo.

"Did something happen to the new kid from last year when this happened?" asked Lincoln.

Margo sighed. "Yeah, the sixth grader thought she had the perfect desk, but she ended up getting stuck in it so tight. They had to call the school cook. She had to sue peanut butter to grease her out, luckily she had no peanut butter allergies."

"Wow, she must've been in so much turmoil" said Jordan.

"I feel so bad for her" said Lincoln.

"You should've seen me when I had my hair stuck to my desk after some eight graders pinned me to it, thank goodness those kids are gone, my name is Cici Laura May" said Cici.

Cici is an eighth grader with black hair, pink eye shadow and white pearl earrings. She wears a green sweater with a star design on it and a plaid blue skirt with brown boots.

"Well it's nice to meet you two, and you know who we are" said Lincoln.

"I like your earrings, they kinda look like mine" said Jordan.

"Thanks, and welcome to Royal Woods Middle School" said Cici.

Margo chuckles. "Told ya the students here aren't like the ones from last year."

(Later)

They were now in their next class, Biology and their teacher is Ms. Pham.

Margo hands them some lab coats. "Here you go guys, get ready for some advanced in science, though I know it's not as advanced as Lisa's."

Lincoln and Jordan put on the lab coats.

"So, does this look good on me?" asked Jordan as she poses.

Lincoln looks at her from top to bottom. "Yeah ….. Definitely."

Jordan giggles and boops his nose. "You are such a card Linc." They then hear the teacher.

"Welcome you two, I heard from Principal Ramirez that you two are given an early orientation here. So let's get started, today we'll be continuing our work with Live Mealworms. So everyone grab a case from the back of the class."

Lincoln and Jordan grab the cases and find their seats, in which they are both seated next to each other and Margo is seated next to one of Lynn's other teammates, the girl who still has a cast on her leg, Paula.

"So, you two doing well on this orientation of yours?" asked Paula.

"We are and it's kinda nice, a whole new horizon an meaning for Jordan and me to get our grades prepped" said Lincoln.

"That sounds like the can do spirit from the same Louds who came here" said Margo.

"Did anything happen to the sixth grader who came here?" asked Jordan.

Margo and Paula sighed. "Yeah."

"The sixth grader who came here accidently farted during a test, after wards she confessed she did it and she became target for insults from the eighth graders" said Margo.

"Wow. Talk about mean and kinda odd for someone to confess about it" said Jordan.

Lincoln was a bit confused, he has never heard of anyone who would just let it out, during class.

But he felt as if he knows this sixth grader, but he can't put his mind to it.

They eventually proceed with their class and learn the basic things from within the mealworms, and even though these creatures were gross, they seemed very fascinating to dissect on.

"This sure beats frogs" said Jordan.

"Yeah, and I'm sure Lana would eat these guys. I hope she can change her ways before she hits this kind of grade" said Lincoln.

"One thing I know. My friends aren't gonna be happy about this" said Jordan.

(Skip, Recess)

Lincoln and Jordan are now eating lunch, with the snacks they packed. They do trade their lunches.

They then see Margo headed to them with her meatball sub.

"Wow, I guess eating like Lynn is one thing" said Lincoln.

"What this? I have some soccer practice later and I need the energy" said Margo. "Also, I won't be joining you guys for the rest of the day, it's time for you two to try and deal with this all on your own."

"Sounds cool to us" said Lincoln.

"I think we get the ropes now, and if we need help then we can just ask someone for directions. None of the kids here seem to be up to the mean standards" said Jordan.

"Good for you two" said Margo.

What they don't know is that Lynn Jr was watching them from her table, she seemed really nervous about letting them go on their own. But she knows she has to let them do this, Margo gave them some advice and they know what they're doing. 'Ugh! Where are those two eagles when you need them?!'

(Later)

Lincoln and Jordan are walking down the halls and looking for their next class.

"Okay, so next we have to go to the art department" said Lincoln.

"Time to put some creativity to work!" said Jordan.

They both walk around and look for the classroom. "Huh, where the heck is it?" said Lincoln.

They soon see a boy with a pink shirt, multicolored jacket, dark grey jeans and white shoes. Byron Flanagan. "You two lost or something?" he asks kindly.

"We are, we're trying to find the art class room" said Lincoln.

"Follow me, I was just headed there myself" said Byron. "Also, you two are those eagle contest kids right?"

"We are" replied Lincoln and Jordan.

"Wow. What you guys did was so amazing, lots of the kids here are still not over with what you guys did, heck they even added some special effects to the video of the contest" said Byron.

He shows them the video on his phone of the contest they were in, but with some awesome special effects like explosions and jets flying by.

"Wow! At this point we might end up into memes" said Lincoln.

"How the heck did you know that?" asked Byron.

They soon make it to their classroom. "Here it is guys, Art class. We're gonna be doing some advanced origami, you two up for the challenge?" said Byron.

Lincoln and Jordan were looking determined. "Heck yeah we are."

(Skip, to next class)

Lincoln and Jordan make it to their next class room, and luckily they knew where it was. They passed by it when they first came to the school. Math class and their teacher Mr. Bolhofner.

They were happy to see Cici and Byron again.

Thankfully, this class wasn't hard for them, why? Lisa has been tutoring them about this kind of stuff, so they know the numbers.

(Skip, next is Gym)

This was their last class of the day, and both Lincoln and Jordan are wearing the school gym clothes.

"These are so different from what we normally wear" said Lincoln.

"Feels kinda lighter than the ones we wore at grade school" said Jordan.

They then see their teacher, Coach Keck. "Okay people, I spent the whole day buffing the dumb floor for the PTA meeting, so no dodge ball today."

"Dang it!" said Jordan.

"So we're watching a movie instead" said Coach Keck. All the other kids cheer for this.

"Also, to whoever said Dang it, I feel your pain" said Coach Keck. "But I know you're gonna love this." She then turns on the TV and they watch a motivational video on the wonders of Dodge ball?

This made Jordan smile so much.

Lincoln could see the glimmer in his girlfriend's eyes, she has never seen this kind of thing before. And now he's afraid of what happens when they return to grade school, with a newly motivated Jordan Rosato, the Queen of Dodge ball!

(Later, after school)

The last bell rings and all the students are ready to head home, Lincoln and Jordan are greeted by so many of the students there. They even had a lovely conversation with Cici and Byron.

It seems they may have made two new friends, and Jordan wishes to invite them to her party this Friday.

Lincoln and Jordan then see Lynn sitting by herself at the basketball court drinking some of her sports drink.

"Hey Lynn" said Lincoln.

"Oh hey guys, I could only guess you two did well today" said Lynn as she puts her things away.

"We did! And now I have more reasons to love dodge ball even more! This school is great!" said Jordan.

Coach Keck walks by them with her soccer balls. "Then I look forward to seeing you here again Rosato!"

Lynn was shocked by this. "You already made friends with Coach Keck? How did this happen?!"

"Four words sis. Dodge. Ball. Motivational. Video" replied Lincoln.

Lynn could only imagine what new lessons Jordan will bring back to Royal Woods Elementary. "Well, I'm glad you guys are happy."

Then Lincoln hugs Lynn. "What the heck is this about bro?"

Even Jordan understood. "Lynn, we know."

Lincoln breaks the hug from Lynn. "Okay …. Know what?"

"Lynn, you were the sixth grader who had it rough when you first came here" said Lincoln.

Lynn was shocked by this. "W-What are you t-talkin' about bro?" she says nervously.

"Lynn. Drop the act, we know that's why you're always so brash and aggressive. You were treated like a total noob from those mean eight graders, and we know that the person who reported all that has happened to you on that day, was Margo Roberts" said Lincoln.

They hear someone drop their soccer ball, they turn around to see Margo was behind them. "H-How did you two know?!"

"Margo, we put the pieces of everything you said all together, and you always seemed so upset mentioning this kid who got lost, stuck in the chair and mocked for farting in class" said Jordan.

"Also, you're the only person (next to Lori) known to have constant farts whenever you're in public. That was the kicker I needed to figure out" said Lincoln.

Lynn looked down in embarrassment. "Yeah, I was the total noob who got turned into a punching bag. I thought that maybe one day I could teach you to be like that when you came to middle school, so you two won't end up like me. But now I know you two can handle all of it."

"Thanks sis, and we're greatful for what Margo did for you all those years ago. She really is your best friend" said Lincoln.

"And who knows what could've happened if you were our orientation buddy" said Jordan.

"She has a point Lynn" said Margo.

Lynn smiled and understood. "Okay, well we should be heading home now. And Margo." Margo smiles to Lynn. "Thanks for helping my little bro and his GF, you're the best."

Margo fist bumps with Lynn. "No prob LJ."

They then hear Vanzilla honking. "And that's our ride. Let's go guys" said Lincoln.

"You guys go on ahead. Margo and I have some hang out time to do" said Lynn.

"Okay, see at home sis" said Lincoln.

"And thanks for the help Margo" said Jordan.

They wave goodbye to Lynn and Margo and enter Vanzilla.

Luna hugs Lincoln and Jordan. "I know you two did well on your first day, since I didn't receive any calls from anyone at the middle school."

"So, how did it go?" asked Luan.

Lincoln and Jordan were ready to tell them all that they learned, especially all they now know about Lynn Loud Junior!

And let's hope Jordan doesn't use what she learned when she returns to Royal Woods Elementary, the Dodge Ball queen might just turn into a freaking Goddess.

A/N: My take on the episode "Middle Men" Which seems more like the "Middle Couple" Get it? Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
