Chapter 155
(Royal Woods Elementary)
Lincoln and his friends are all in the cafeteria, they had just finished home economics and once again they were baking.
Lincoln and Jordan enter the cafeteria with their lunches. Jordan was a bit disappointed that she couldn't use what she learned from middle school for dodge ball since it was cancelled for the day. Dang it!
But need not worry, she will wait and soon unleash what she had learned soon. Worry to the rest of Lincoln and Jordan's friends who have no idea what's in store for them!
Jordan was feeling happy with herself. "I am so glad we didn't have to make cupcakes anymore."
Lincoln chuckles. "And I'm sure those brownies you made are alright, and I am glad you shared them with the rest of the class and friends."
"Speaking of friends" Jordan points out to their friends all eating the brownies Jordan made.
Lincoln and Jordan join them. "So my friends, what's the verdict?" asked Lincoln.
"Are you kidding me? These taste amazing!" Zach takes his time with his brownie.
"I haven't tasted anything this good since my memaw made her famous apple cider" said Liam.
"How in the world did you manage to pull this off?" asked Tabby.
"Let's just say, I used to help mom when she was making brownies and cakes. But cupcakes was the one thing I never helped her with, I have no clue why I suck at making them" replied Jordan.
Mollie finishes her brownie. "Girl, you should open up a bakery. You are good at this."
Jordan chuckles. "As fun as the idea sounds, not gonna happen. A bakery needs lots of pastries and I do not work well with cupcakes making, and all bakeries have cupcakes. What's a bakery without cupcakes? Absolutely nothing!"
"Say it again!" replied her friends, and they all laugh a bit.
Lincoln kisses Jordan's cheek. "And you must've gotten that idea from Luna."
"She's the best musical mentor we have handsome" said Jordan as she kisses his cheek.
Rusty then looks to Zach. "You gonna finish that brownie man?"
Zach scooches away. "Dude, seriously?"
"What? They were really that good" said Rusty.
"By the way, has anyone seen Clyde as of lately?" asked Simon.
"Well, he was at the room when we were all baking, but the real question was what the heck Clyde and Penelope even doing?" asked Sadie.
"Yeah, they both seemed less romantic towards each other. Almost like they were just friends" said Kat.
"Something must be wrong. We have to find out, he's our friend" said Stella.
Lincoln also found this quite suspicious. Then they see the junior administrator himself come into the cafeteria.
He then sees his friends and goes to them, with one of Jordan's brownies in his lunch bag.
"Play it cool guys" said Rusty. They all stayed silent, but Clyde could tell something was off about all of them.
"So, anyone wanna trade something for my chocolate waffles?" asked Clyde.
Many of them were silent, Lincoln and Jordan however weren't. "I'll trade ya Clyde" Lincoln hands him a mac and cheese bite.
"Thanks Lincoln, also what wrong with the others?" asked Clyde.
"Nothing, they just wanna know what's going on between you and Penelope" replied Jordan.
The others almost chocked on their lunches.
"And the covers been blown" said Kat.
"I thought we were playing it cool?" said Liam.
"I guess we weren't cool enough to play the part! Get?" said Giggles.
Zach chuckles. "I got that one."
Clyde sighs, he knew they were going to ask eventually. "Penelope and I are just gonna be friends."
They all gasped. "What?!"
Clyde also knew they were gonna do that.
"When did this happen man?" asked Rusty.
"What in tarnations happened?" asked Liam.
"I thought you two were hitting it off" said Stella.
"This was not the response I was expecting" said Joy.
"And I thought you two were just having a small argument" said Cookie.
Lincoln and Jordan were shocked the most, they knew Clyde and Penelope were a thing, but they didn't know they would end it so soon, or end it for reals.
"Clyde, what made you and Penelope lose your thing for each other?" asked Lincoln.
Clyde took a deep breathe to explain. "First off, this all happened last night. Penelope and I talked about our relationship and to the fact Penelope won't be here for middle school."
"What?" asked Jordan.
"How come mate?" asked Tabby.
"Penelope said that her dad got a job somewhere in Florida, and the one thing we probably can't handle is a long distance relationship. We're not like the teenage love that Lori and Bobby have. So we settled it down and broke it off, my dads were worried about me having some romance issues. But then they saw that I was doing well, and I am. And no I am not undergoing the stages of break up, and neither is Penelope" replied Clyde.
They were shocked and also proud at how Clyde handled it. But one thing was on their thoughts as to the old Clyde might do.
"So, you're not planning on having a relationship?" asked Zach.
"Nope" replied Clyde.
"No girl on your mind?" asked Rusty.
"Na-da" replied Clyde.
"Not going to go and ask any gals here in school?" asked Liam.
"Wouldn't even think of it" replied Clyde.
"You're not gonna look for that one girl that could be your life long soul mate?" asked Simon.
"Well, not at the moment. I might find that Mrs. Right when the time comes, or when I reach middle school or high school" replied Clyde.
Then there was one question Lincoln had in mind. "And what about … Lori?"
Clyde was shocked that Lincoln would ask that. "Nope, I'm not going back to my silly crush on Loir Loud."
Lincoln was close to dropping his chocolate waffle, but Clyde put a plate under to catch it. "Careful there, it's a good waste of food."
"So, you're okay with being single?" asked Stella.
"I am. At the moment, I think I'm gonna be focusing on my grades and whatever my future holds. Romance can wait when the time is right. Penelope and I may have had this romantic thing for each other, but right now I think it's getting stale and we should just move on" said Clyde.
This was the Clyde they did not expect to see, but Lincoln and Jordan understood clearly. He was trying to change and it seemed like it was in his own way.
"Well, I'm glad you held on Clyde. Change is good, even if it means changing relationships" said Lincoln.
"And who knows, you might find that girl you were looking for, someday" replied Jordan.
"We've got you back man, all of us" said Simon.
"If you wanna talk about some stuff we'll be here" said Stella.
"Thanks guys. The support is kind, but I am focused on my other priorities" said Clyde.
"You know, I can give you some advice on how to get the ladies" said Rusty.
But then he gets some glares from Jordan's friends. "O-Or not!"
Clyde chuckles. "Thanks for the offer Rusty, but I'm gonna have to pass. Also, I don't wanna get in trouble by other girls who might think I'm a weirdo."
"Good choice McBride" said Mollie.
"You dodged a loose cannon Spokes bullet there" said Sadie.
"What's wrong with my methods anyway?" asked Rusty in annoyance.
"Umm, you follow the old fashioned ogling advice from your single dad" said Kat.
"You already have a girl in your life" said Joy.
"And if she finds out that you're going back to the old you, then she might either break every bone in your body or break your heart" said Cookie.
Rusty gulped at what Polly Pain would do if she found out that Rusty was giving his dumb advice to other guys.
Then Mollie looked to Jordan with excitement. "So, about the party?"
Jordan smiles and tells them of the amazing party they will throw on Friday night, and they were all invited.
Jordan told them that Lynn Sr will be catering the whole thing, which makes Clyde happy to know. She tells them that Luna and her band will be the ones in charge of the music, which makes Tabby excited. She told them of all the guests that will be there, which means all their friends that they know, Rusty had to make sure he wasn't tempted to do something dumb, Lori and Leni's gal pals are gonna be there.
And Jordan told them to bring some swim gear, the pool will be ready and is done with the renovations. She's got tons of surprised for them.
Then Tabby looks to Lincoln. "So, how is Luna gonna do with her driving test today?"
Lincoln spits out his juice and onto Rusty. "Seriously man?!"
Lincoln coughs from his drinks. "Are you okay Lincoln?" Jordan does her best to see if he was fine.
"Whoa! Easy there mate, I was just asking" said Tabby with concern.
"Yeah, there's no need to be choking on this driving day" said Giggles.
Lincoln then calms down. "I forgot that Luna's driving test is today after her school?!"
Jordan gasps and so does Sam and Stella.
"How did you forget dude?!" asked Simon.
"I don't know man!" said Lincoln.
Rusty looks to Liam. "You wanna trade my potato chips for your Honey apple slices?"
"Sure, this is getting good real fast" said Liam as he trades with Rusty.
Some of them wanted to ask how their tour around middle school went, but seeing Lincoln panic wasn't the best moment. They also wanted to tell them that they will be planning to go on the middle school tour soon, but like before, not the best moment.
(Later, after classes)
Lincoln and Jordan leave the school immediately and head to their bikes, they managed to say goodbye to their friends and Clyde good luck with his new change of heart. Get it?
Joining Lincoln and Jordan are Simon and Stella who are also on their bikes. Why are they joining them? Sam is probably there with the rest of her band mates, and Stella is coming for moral support.
Patriot and Valkyrie aren't there, Lincoln told them to fly ahead and see is she's doing alright.
(Royal Woods DMV)
Lincoln, Jordan, Simon and Stella make to their destination. Lincoln smiles when he sees Luna there. "Luna!"
Luna was looking nervous, but when she sees Lincoln she smiles and runs to him. "You made it bro!"
Lincoln gets off his bike and runs to Luna and hugs her. "I'm so sorry sis! I totally forgot about that today was your driving test day!"
Luna smiles as they break the hug. "Its cool bro, the good thing is that you're here. I was a bit nervous and I was wondering why you didn't show up, but I'm happy you're here now." Luna places a kiss on his forehead.
"Man you two have got to be the most devoted brother and sister we have ever seen" said Sully.
"They totes are" replied Leni.
"Okay Luna, it's time for you to learn how to drive" said Lori.
"We'll be outside waiting for you to come out" said Sam.
Lincoln then holds her hand. "And remember sis, even though I'm not there or any of us. Just believe you can do this and think of how laid back you can be, and just get to the rhythm of what you've learned."
They all look to Luna and smile, so do the two eagle who land on Lincoln's shoulders. "You got his Lunes" said Jordan.
"We'll all be here to support you on" said Sam.
"We got your back Luna" said Sully and Mazzy.
"All of us sis" said Lincoln.
Luna smiles. "Thanks bro." She then looks to the doors of the DMV. "Okay, this is it." She walks towards the place and enters.
"Gotta say mate, you sure can pull off some motivational words there" said Chunk.
Lincoln sighs. "I really hope she passes."
Jordan then looks to Patriot and Valkyrie. "Can you two take to the skies and keep an eye on Luna? I something goes wrong come down and tell us."
The two eagles nod and take off.
"Thanks guys!" said Lincoln.
"Okay, so now all we have to do is wait" said Simon.
"Let's hope everything I taught her will work" said Chunk.
"She'll pass, I know it" said Sam.
"By the way, how was your little trip to middle school yesterday?" asked Sully.
"Let's just say. We made some new friends, though I don't think we'll be seeing them soon, they might graduate and advance to high school" said Jordan. She decided not to mention the dodge ball things she learned.
Lori and Leni were fearful for Jordan Rosato now, she has more skill in her bone from learning.
Lincoln liked seeing her happy, even if it meant she was about to deliver some WWE style toss and dodge tactics to the dodge ball playing field.
"Also, where the heck are your parents?" asked Mazzy.
"Dad is busy at the restaurant and mom has an appointment with the fox quintuplets" said Lori. "She's literally gonna have to try and calm them down."
"They said they'll wait for the call of when Luna passed, the rest of our sisters couldn't come. They all have their own things to do" said Leni.
"Lola has to do some pageant practice with Lana's help, Lisa is busy with a project with Darcy from kindergarten, Lynn said something about hanging out with her roller derby crew, Luan is doing a gig at some kid's birthday and Lucy said she was going to have a big meeting with her friends, literally everyone is busy but us" said Lori.
"Also, Lily is with dad" said Leni.
They all looked to Lincoln, he was nervous of whether Luna would pass, or not.
(Later, like after a few minutes)
They are all drinking some soda. Chunk even brought with him some celebratory donuts and hotdogs.
Then Patriot and Valkyrie come down, they didn't look upset, which is what Lincoln was happy about. "This is it guys, she's coming!"
The doors open and they see Luna coming out with a sad look.
This made them all concerned, especially Lincoln. "L-Luna?"
"Oh dear" said Sam.
"Oh no! Luna!" said Leni as she is close to tears. Lori wasn't expecting this.
Luna goes to Lincoln and hugs him, he hugs her in return. "I-I'm so sorry sis."
"No worries bro, you don't have to be sorry." She then breaks the hug and smiles. "Because I passed!"
They were all shocked as they see her driver's license. Which means she was official to drive Vanzilla.
Lincoln wipes away his tears and hugs her, Sam also joins in. And so does Lori and Leni.
"Congarts dude!" said Sully.
"You did it!" said Mazzy.
"Way to go Luna!" said Sully.
"For a minute there we thought you didn't pass" said Stella.
"This is awesome!" said Jordan.
"You almost gave me a fright there luv, good job with it" said Chunk.
They then break the hug. "Sorry for acting like that, I wanted to see what you all felt if I did fail."
"Well, now you did" Sam then kisses Luna's cheek. "But please don't do that again, it broke our hearts seeing you sad."
"Literally good with the act" said Lori.
"That was so convincing of you to look so sad" said Leni. "I almost cried too."
"Sorry dudes" she then looks to Lincoln. "You okay bro?"
Lincoln just smiles. "Yeah, I am. You can drive now! Which is a good thing!"
Luna smiles and looks to all of them. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's celebrate and tell the others!"
"Yeah!"
They all hop into Vanzilla, and the others into Chunk's van.
Lori then gets an idea. "Luna, how about you take the wheel? You have a license which means you can drive her now."
Luna smiles and sits at the driver's seat with Lori sitting next to her. "Thanks sis."
She turns around and sees Lincoln, Jordan and Leni sitting behind them. "You dudes ready?"
"Heck yeah!" they replied.
Luna starts the engine and they drive off, with Chunk's van following. Ready to tell the others about her success.
A/N: It was only a matter of time for Luna to finally ace her driving test, and also this is a sort of after math to the events of the middle school tour. As well as a link with the episode "Brave the Last Dance" but in a different way, we might see Chloe soon, maybe. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
