Chapter 159
(Royal Woods Elementary)
Many of the students are all chatting about the recent events that involved Lincoln Loud.
Stella, Simon, Zach, Giggles, Rusty, Polly, Liam, Tabby, Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Joy, Cookie, Rocky, Haiku and Clyde are all chatting amongst themselves while waiting for someone to finally arrive.
"So, we all know what to do right?" asked Simon.
"We do our best to keep Lincoln safe and feel less scared" said Stella.
"The poor dude is still scarred after what happened" said Tabby.
"I sure now how it feels to be left scarred" said Clyde. "And I thought Lincoln watching the Harvester left him scarred."
"We already know that Jordan is spending the next three days at the louds" said Cookie.
"And her parents are busy getting all they need to take whatever that rich old man has, this is one heck of a revenge they got planned" said Zach.
"Can you blame them? Lincoln got kidnapped and he almost could've gotten to the rest of the louds, I say they should find a way to take every last cent. If it would all make sense" said Giggles.
"I hope Lucy is doing alright, she really doesn't want her big brother to be hurt like that" said Rocky.
"Lucy is dark and gloomy with little to know care for others, but when Family is at a dreary them passion will soon somber" replied Haiku.
"Nice one there Haiku, still we gotta be there for Lincoln, and not just to help Jordan" said Joy.
"We just have to help him get through the day" said Sadie.
"And if it all goes well, without Lincoln breaking down, then it means he can be able to manage the following school days" said Mollie.
"I feel bad for my best bud, he must still be a mess" said Liam.
"Guys look up" said Rusty. They all look up and spot two very familiar eagles.
"If Patriot and Valkyrie are here, it means the Louds can't be too far either" said Polly.
"Guys! Here they come!" said Kat. They all spot Vanzilla headed for the school, and it wasn't alone. With Vanzilla are two police cars and a Tank? (Guardian Tank)
"Looks like they're taking security to a whole new level" said Zach.
Vanzilla finally arrives and coming out is Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa. They wait for someone else to come out, Jordan appears out of Vanzilla with two crutches, she then sees Luna helping Lincoln out of Vanzilla.
Luna helps Lincoln down and Jordan hands him his crutches. "Thanks Jordan."
Jordan kisses his cheek. "No problem." They then look to everyone at the school.
Luna then turns Lincoln around so she could hug and kiss his forehead. "Be safe okay bro?"
"I will sis" replied Lincoln. Luna then heads back into Vanzilla, followed by the two squad cars and leaving the tank and two riot police looking soldiers. (Peacekeepers)
Lincoln, Jordan, Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa go to their friends.
"Hey guys" said Lincoln.
"Good to see you back up Lincoln" said Rusty.
"How are you doing?" asked Clyde.
Lincoln sighs. "Could be better, now come on we got to get to classes." Patriot and Valkyrie also follow them into the school.
They all head inside, all the while keeping an eye on Lincoln. They could tell that he still wasn't feeling like himself.
They walk through the hallways and this time Huggins was watching from his office and he was okay with Lincoln letting Patriot and Valkyrie come into the school, after what happened with Tetherby, the school could use some heavy security.
Lincoln and Jordan both go to their lockers and put their things away, the rest of their friends were keeping an eye on Lincoln.
Lucy and the other little loud sisters head on to their respective classrooms, they only asked Lincoln's friends to keep an eye on him. The teachers were already informed of the plan they have, and they understand.
After they all get what they need from their lockers, they all head to Mrs. Johnson's class. Mrs. Johnson is already inside and is looking at Lincoln with pity, she just hopes he doesn't have a mental breakdown.
While all of them head into the classroom, but they do not know that Coach Pokawski and Nurse Patty were watching them.
Nurse Patty was ready in case Lincoln might break down, and Coach has agreed to not let Lincoln take part in gym class today, or until the end of the week.
(Royal Woods High School)
The Older Louds sisters have dropped off Lynn Jr, luckily her whole team was there to escort her into the school.
Lori parks Vanzilla, and the two cop cars leave and coming in to act as watch guard was something they all did not expect. It was one of those stealth tanks from the whole rescue.
They then head into the school and they could see some of the students talking amongst themselves, obviously talking about what had happened to Lincoln.
Ever since the prom, Lincoln and Jordan were like the best kids they have ever met. But the ones who wanted to know if they were doing fine were the prom king and queen, Ruby and Spencer.
They part ways with Luan, who meets up with Benny and the rest of her club members.
Luna however was not feeling like her usual happy and paid back self. But when she sees Sam headed towards her, Luna smiles.
The two girls hug, Sam sees Lori and Leni and their' hurt expressions. Sam understands, she and the rest of the band have to keep an eye on Luna, chances she could break down in class.
Principal Rivers peeks out from her office and she could see just how emotionally hurt Luna is, she has already informed the whole staff about this, they have to excuse Luna if she has a mental breakdown.
One thing they now know, is how close Lincoln and Luna are as siblings, and Lincoln getting hurt and almost killed is putting both siblings on edge.
(Royal Woods Elementary, after classes)
All of the students are now enjoying their lunch.
Lisa, Lola, Lana and Lucy decide to sit with Lincoln and Jordan at their table. But to make it even better, Simon and the others combine another table with theirs, so Lincoln could at least have his friends nearby.
They look to Lincoln who pulls out some cooked beef for Patriot and Valkyrie to eat.
"So, should we talk about that big futuristic group that now resides here?" asked Clyde.
Lincoln chuckles. "I know some of you are confused, well as am I. We have never had this kind of visit before, especially not from other worldly beings."
"Yeah, my parents are getting even more paranoid and think this new tech stuff is alien related" said Zach.
"Here we go again" complained Kat.
"Guys, half their tech is alien related. The other half is from their genius CEO" said Lincoln.
"Whom which I still would like to talk to. Perhaps we may be able to share our definitive knowledge" said Lisa.
"As what I heard from hero Linc, he won't let anyone else know about the rest of his allies unless he can trust them" said Jordan.
"Also guys, I'm okay with all of you talking about the whole rescue me thing." said Lincoln.
They all did not know how to respond to that, in fact they did not expect Lincoln to mention that.
"How did it feel to lead an army like that and open fire?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, if we're being honest, it was awesome! I rode a tank and led them to blast those blokes!" said Tabby.
"It was kinda intense and pretty cool" said Rusty.
"Probably the best dang thing that has ever happened to me" said Liam.
"Well, you guys should've seen Lori when she was riding that big tank thing" said Lola.
"You mean the Juggernaut. I can't believe they have a Star Wars tank with them!" said Simon.
"You think they got those big walkers with them as well?" asked Stella.
"I'm sure they do. They got tons of tech and all of it is based outside of Royal Woods" said Jordan.
Lincoln smiles, he was happy to see his pals all enjoying their great experience, and seeing them smile and be normal was one thing Lincoln needed.
Then he gets a text, he checks and sees it was from Luna. "How you holding up there bro?"
Lincoln texts back. "Doing well, you?"
Luna: Trying my best, still wish I could be there to keep an eye on you Lincoln.
Lincoln: We both have our own school life to go through sis, hang in there.
Luna: I'll try, and let's try not to break down and get sent home.
Lincoln: Some part of me thinks it's a good idea. But the other part of me wants to be here with my pals.
Luna: Same, well I gotta get to lunch. Talk to you soon bro, I love you Lincoln.
Lincoln: Okay Luna, talk to you soon. And I love you as well sis.
Lincoln then goes back to hearing his friends and sisters talk, this was nice.
(Royal Woods High school, Cafeteria)
Luna and her band are all busy talking to themselves, all the while. Lori and Leni are talking with their friends, Dana, Becky, Carol, Whitney, Teri, Chaz, Tad, Jackie and Mandee.
Leni lets her friends see the footage from the battle at the park last month. They do spot this white haired girl shooting out ice next to Leon, and her hairstyle was similar to Dana's.
"Whoa! A Super powered Dana! Now Chaz has seen it all" said Chaz.
"So, Leon is from another world just like that hero Linc and he has a Dana he's in love with?" asked Dana.
"From what Lincoln knows, yes. So sorry Dana" said Leni.
Dana sighs. "It's okay, I'm sure he and his Dana are happy together, I could only imagine how cute of a couple they are."
"I just can't even imagine how she has ice powers" said Jackie.
"We haven't gotten any clue as to how she got powers" said Lori.
"Gotta say, she makes that hero look just look good" said Mandee.
"Thank you Mandee" joked Dana. They all laugh at this.
Luna notice this and smiles, seeing the rest of their teen friends was all she needs to try and get through to this.
She then goes back to chatting with her band mates. They too were stoked from helping save Lincoln with that futuristic mechanized army.
"So, are we all at an agreement?" asked Lori.
"We keep the secret identity of Freezer Burn to us only" said Leni.
"You got our word Leni" said Tad.
"We won't tell anyone else, we promise" said Teri.
"Just as long as we can do one thing" said Becky.
"And what's that?" asked Lori.
They all look to each other and agree. "Becky, Dana, Jackie, Mandee and me will get to spend some time with Lincoln, he already has his friends and sisters to support him. I think he needs some teenage friends support" said Carol.
"Why not Tad and me?" asked Chaz.
"Bro, the last thing we need is the two of you bringing him to watch a movie that involves someone getting killed or worse" said Dana.
Tad and Chaz think about it. "Huh, she's got a point" said Tad.
"Plus, Lincoln's been around Jordan and his sisters a lot, so he probably seems more keen into emotional and almost girlish stuff, I think" said Becky.
"Okay then girls, but we'll have to do that one tomorrow. I think right now he needs some rest after school" said Lori.
They all agree.
(Royal Woods Elementary, after classes)
All of the students were now headed back home for the day. Though each one also says goodbye and good luck to Lincoln as he walks down the halls with his friends.
They all leave the school with Patriot and Valkyrie. They notice Vanzilla hasn't arrived yet, so they decide to wait all together.
Lincoln did have something to say, to someone who he calls friend. "Simon?"
The Sharp kid looks to Lincoln. "Can I speak alone with you, it will be quick."
They others understand. "Okay then" said Simon.
"We'll, keep an eye out for your sister's bud" said Liam.
"Thanks guys" said Lincoln. He and Simon head to the back of the school.
Lincoln and Simon were now alone at the back of the school.
"So, what's this about Linc?" asked Simon.
Lincoln sits down onto the bench and Simon joins him. "Simon, how long have we been friends?"
This was not the kind of thing he expected from Lincoln to ask. "Umm, since we first met, and the day I told you and Luna and Sam about my disturbing crush."
Lincoln sighs. "Simon, I was doing some thinking. And I think we both seem to have some things in common, so what I'm trying to say is-"
"No" replied Simon.
Lincoln was confused. "You didn't even let me finish."
"Because I know what you're gonna say Lincoln, you want me to take the best friend title. But I don't think it's such a good idea Lincoln" said Simon.
"We may have had some common ground and some liking, but we're both not that ready to be best of buds, Liam is your best friend and though you two have barely hung out. You're both at the same level as equals. So, I'd rather be one of your normal friends than be your best friend, that's a title that has to be earned and Liam earned it way before me" said Simon.
Lincoln smiled. "Okay Simon, I understand. And thanks for telling me this."
"No problem Lincoln" replied Simon.
They then get off the bench and head back to the others, and right on cue Vanzilla appears.
Luna comes out and goes to hug Lincoln. "Hey bro."
Lincoln hugs her back. "Hey sis."
The others thought this was sweet and just sad. They're both on edge still, and don't ever wanna think about letting each other drift off.
They soon break the hug. "You ready to head back home Lincoln?" asked Luna.
"Yeah, I am" replied Lincoln. Lincoln and Jordan both say goodbye to their friends and they head into Vanzilla.
Lincoln goes to Simon and they shake hands. "Thanks for the talk man" said Lincoln.
"What are friends for?" said Simon.
He then goes into Vanzilla and they drive off home to the Loud House, with the Guardian Tank following them and Patriot and Valkyrie in the sky.
Stella looks to Simon. "What was all that about?"
Simon pulls Stella closer to him and they walk home. "Let's just say Linc and I came to a friendly understanding."
Stella leans closer to Simon. "Okay then, now about that date you said we're gonna have on Friday."
A/N: And this is the next chapter of the aftermath, there will be one where Lincoln is gonna have some time with Lori and Leni's pals. And soon I will also put back Ronnie Anne and Sid to be there to support him as well. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
And another thing, to all those who have been criticizing about the friendship idea between Lincoln and Simon. OKAY I GET IT! JEEZ! You guys bombard me like an angry mob in Taliban, I'm the lone soldier, and you are all the angry mob, but at least there are those who have the balls to actually PM me about this idea, unlike the rest of you retards! So do me a favor and grow some balls and PM me if ya'll have some issues, otherwise I won't hesitate to find a way to shut down those who have commented, if there is one. I don't know. Seriously guys, this is like the worst case of Doctor Phil.
And as always, if you guys have any ideas for future chapters, PM ME! Ideas, concepts and we'll talk.
