Chapter 170
(The Loud House)
Lincoln and Jordan have just left the tree house after making a list of things that they should prepare for the big boat trip on April 4.
"So, we just need these specific items and we'll be ready, set and a go for the big trip. We just gotta make sure the others don't know about it" replied Lincoln.
"Sweet, we're gonna have to make two copies of these and then we can show them to our parents" replied Jordan.
"They're gonna be impressed with what we both came up with" said Lincoln. "And with all of this stuff, there is no way our boat trip will end badly."
"Let's hope so handsome. I haven't had a boat trip at a lake before, usually my parents and I have our boat trips out at sea" replied Jordan.
Lincoln chuckles. "Well, maybe at summer we can do that."
Jordan smiles to the idea. "We're gonna need a bigger boat for that one, and a whole lot of stuff."
Lincoln and Jordan recall an allied base that could provide said items for a sea side trip, but they'll have to deal with that for another time. As of now, they are both focused on the lake boat trip.
Then Lincoln recalls something. "By the way, I think your roller skates are in my room. Lori must've accidently grabbed them and out them there while I was asleep."
"It's okay, let's go get them" replied Jordan. Patriot and Valkyrie fly out of the tree house and land onto Lincoln and Jordan's shoulder.
They then hear someone screaming. "SPIDER!" This startles them, but Lincoln knows who that was.
"And looks like dad found one of Luan's fake spiders" said Lincoln. Patriot shakes his head in disappointment.
"Seriously though, I may think spiders can be creepy when they're venomous creatures, but what is up with your dad and his fear of spiders. And Halloween as well?" asked Jordan.
"No clue, and I don't think he wants to tell anyone about it anytime soon" said Lincoln.
They both enter the kitchen and they spot Luan laughing next to the basement door. "Man that never gets old!" And she has a fishing rod with a fake spider on it.
"Early April Fools Luan?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, you can say that. But as I said last year o am not planning to go all out with my pranks, just some casual whoopee cushions and a few gags, no harm, no foul" replied Luan.
"Okay then" said Jordan.
Just then they all recognize the casual humming of their second eldest sister Leni coming down the stairs.
"Yes! Leni's coming! I am not here guys!" Luan hides underneath the kitchen table. Lincoln and Jordan remain silent as Leni enters the kitchen.
"Hey Linky, Hi Jordan" greeted Leni. She heads to the fridge and opens it to grab a smoothie she made the other day.
Patriot and Valkyrie look up to the fake spider above the fridge, they were confused as to how this fake thing is supposed to be scary.
When she turns around the fake spider appears in front of her, but for some reason Leni is just looking at it, she grabs the spider and pulls on the string that leads to Luan who was underneath the kitchen table.
"Nice try Luan, but you're not gonna get me again. I know the difference between fake and real spiders now" Leni hands Luan her spider and leaves the kitchen.
Luan comes out from underneath the kitchen table and is shocked at what just happened. Lincoln and Jordan were also puzzled at what just happened.
"How?!" asked Luan. "How the heck did that not work?! She's usually afraid of Spiders!"
Then Lincoln recalls something from yesterday. "Oh, I think Leni must've seen it from watching an animal documentary on TV while Jordan and I were at our date at Great Lake City."
Luan looks back to them. "I'm sorry. You said what now?"
"It's true, Leni told me last night before I went to bed. We saw a spider in the bathroom and Leni used a cup to pick it up and toss the little spider out the window" replied Lincoln.
"Wow! Talk about one heck of a change for Leni" replied Jordan.
"But, she is a bit freaked out by them, mostly the very dangerous ones" said Lincoln.
Luan sighs. "Dang it! I guess Leni sure is changing her eight-legged view on things! Hahahaha! Get it? But seriously, this sucks for me. I guess dad will just have to be my normal target with this little guy."
Luan then heads back to her room with her fake spider.
Lincoln and Jordan head for the living room, there they see Lola and Lana watching TV together. Though they weren't really watching TV, they were mostly surfing through channels. "Anything good on girls?" asked Lincoln.
"No" replied the twins.
"Just like yesterday, nothing on. Just some reruns, oh and Lucy's vampire show" said Lola.
"Then why don't you two go play with your Legos?" asked Jordan.
Lola and Lana look at each other and nod. "Okay."
"At least that's one thing we can still do" said Lana. She and her twin race upstairs and into their room.
Then they hear a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that might be" said Lincoln. He opens the door and sees it was his friends and Jordan's pals.
"Lincoln! Jordan!" they all yell.
"What's wrong guys?" asked Jordan.
They drag the two to the backyard with the two eagles following them. "What the heck is this about?" asked Lincoln.
"We wanna know everything!" said Mollie.
"How did it go at Great Lake City yesterday?" asked Rusty.
"Did you guys have fun?" asked Liam.
"You two didn't really answer our calls last night" said Stella.
Lincoln and Jordan both chuckle at the smiles from their friends. "Sorry guys, but we were kinda worn out after some hang out double date time at Great Lake City" said Lincoln.
"But we did have fun, and we'll tell you guys all about it when we get to the park, the best place for all of us to feel at peace and serenity" replied Jordan.
They all agree and head to the front yard to get onto their bikes. But they notice Lincoln and Jordan go in the house with Patriot and Valkyrie.
"Umm, where the heck are you two going?" asked Polly.
"Yeah, you're bikes are out here" replied Clyde.
"We just have to get something important from my room" replied Lincoln.
"No worries guys, we'll be back shortly" replied Jordan. They both head upstairs.
The others decide to wait for them. "So, anyone wanna hear some new jokes Giggles and I made?" asked Zach.
"They're really funny" replied Giggles.
They all looked at each other and back to Giggles and Zach. "Hard pass."
Meanwhile Lincoln and Jordan make it to the hallway, they see Lisa coming out of Lucy and Lynn's room with some notes. "I suggest you make sure he is well hydrated and keep him in a warm and comfortable area, just not among his friends."
Lucy sighs as she holds her sick bat, Fangs. "Thanks Lisa." she then sees Lincoln and Jordan. "Oh, hey Lincoln. Hey Jordan."
"Greetings Lincoln and Jordan" said Lisa.
"Hey girls, Fangs still not feeling well?" asked Lincoln.
"Sigh, he's still not feeling well. Ever since last night" replied Lucy.
"Need not worry sixth eldest sister unit, Fangs is just undergoing an age process that many animals have faced, that or perhaps it is mating season and he's just depressed" replied Lisa.
"Is that why he doesn't want to hang out with the other bats?" asked Lucy.
"Correct, he might be looking for the one female who he would call his soul mate, just like Patriot and Valkyrie" replied Lisa.
Lincoln gets concerned about what Lisa just said. "So, has Patriot and Valkyrie been through this, age thing?"
Patriot and Valkyrie have no clue if that's a thing that should be questioned.
"Male sibling unit, your eagle companions have already been through it, six months after they hatched they have undergone that state. And if you're wondering the age of both Patriot and Valkyrie is twenty two eagle years" replied Lisa.
"So, they're twenty two?" asked Jordan.
"Indeed" replied Lisa. She then puts on her gloves. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to finish." she then heads back to her room.
Lincoln and Jordan look to Lucy who was still depressed, okay more depressed than she normally is.
"You gonna be okay Luce?" asked Jordan.
"Sigh, I'll manage maybe when I go to visit the cemetery tomorrow I can find a bat that could be perfect for Fangs" replied Lucy. She then pets her bat and heads back to her room,
Lincoln and Jordan then see Lynn Jr leave the bathroom. "Whew, much better." she then yells. "Hey Lana! Toilet needs a checkup ASAP!"
"Rude to say that Lynn!" yelled Lola.
Lana comes out of her room with her plunger. "I'm on it!" And she looks happy, she then heads into the bathroom.
Lynn then notices the two loves. "Oh, hey guys. What's up?"
"Nothing much sis, just gonna get Jordan's roller skates that are in my room" replied Lincoln.
"Cool, you know if you two want I could teach you guys" said Lynn.
"Thanks but no thanks LJ. We'd rather stick with what we do and love than what you do and love" replied Jordan.
They all chuckle at that remark. "Okay then, also a little heads up. Coming next week Friday, my crew and I are headed to the finals in Roller Derby next month and we are planning to win it big!"
"I'm sure Polly Pain will be rooting for you guys, and Rusty I guess" replied Jordan.
"And that's the whole big surprise. Listen do not tell Polly, but we're planning to have her as our new and permanent member of the team. She's gonna be so shocked when she hears this next week Friday!" said Lynn.
"Wow! Also she's outside and we won't tell her" replied Lincoln.
"On one condition!" said Jordan. Lynn didn't like this. "Record everything that happens on that day, we wanna see the look on her face when she gets surprised!"
Lynn then chuckles. "Heh, you got it. But wait, why not go there yourselves?"
"Sorry Lynn, but Jordan and I are going on a small date at that night" replied Lincoln.
Lynn chuckles. "Okay bro, I'll make sure you two get to see the look on Polly's face when that happens." Lynn then heads downstairs to the living room.
Lincoln and Jordan then see the door to Lori and Leni's room open, Leni spots them and hides whatever she was working on. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"Hey Leni. Where's Lori at? I thought she was here" said Lincoln.
"Oh, she got called to help out at the restaurant. Some big health inspector is coming there and they need her managing skills" replied Leni. "Also, she got a call from Bobby today."
"Really? What about?" asked Jordan.
Leni sighs. "Lori said that Bobby didn't make employee of the month, he was beaten by Sergio."
Patriot and Valkyrie were shocked by this. "He was beaten by that parrot?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, and I don't think he's taking it pretty well. Though Lori is trying her best to support him" replied Leni. "Well, I should get back to work now."
"Okay, what are you working on anyway?" asked Jordan.
Leni was getting nervous. "Sorry guys, but that's a secret."
Lincoln and Jordan understands and heads out, but Lincoln does get a small glimpse at what it was. It looked like a tuxedo or something. 'Looks like Leni is trying something fancy.'
Lincoln and Jordan enter the room they were planning to head to and they see Luna putting on her purple shirt. For a split second they saw her bra on. "Hey little dude's, what's up?"
"Hey sis, we're just here for a few things then we're off to the park with our friends" replied Lincoln.
They notice Jordan was a bit speechless. "You okay dude?" asked Luna.
"A little bit. How come Lincoln wasn't shocked or stunned from you changing?" asked Jordan.
Lincoln and Luna chuckle. "First off my love, Luna and I are roommate which you already now" said Lincoln.
"Also, the sibling bond we have makes things less awkward for both of us, so we're sued to it" replied Luna.
Jordan sighs in relief. "Oh okay then." She then spots her roller skates. "Got em. Let's go handsome."
Lincoln also grabs his skates. "Got mine too."
Luna then asks. "So, you two headed to the park or something?"
"We are sis, our friends wanna know all about what happened to us at Great Lake City" replied Lincoln.
"Cool, cool. Hey, if it isn't a bother, could I tag along with you two dudes? Sam and the band have their own plans today and it could be a bit lonesome without my rocking musical bro here" asked Luna.
Lincoln and Jordan smile. Lincoln grabs his acoustic and he hands Luna her Acoustic. "Sure thing sis, though you're gonna need some transportation."
"No need bro!" Luna then grabs a purple box underneath the bed. Lincoln was confused at how he did not see that box there.
Luna opens it and it reveals a pair of purple roller skates with some electric and ice streaks on it. "See these dudes, this is what I used to ride on."
Lincoln and Jordan were shocked and they felt like they had stars in their eyes. "Wow!"
Patriot and Valkyrie were also confused. "How did we not see that in this room?"
Luna then puts the box away and carries her roller skates and her acoustic guitar. "Let's go dudes!"
Lincoln and Jordan smile and they head out of the room and down the stairs. Patriot and Valkyrie use the open window and fly to the front yard.
Lynn who is watching a rerun on her favorite play offs sees Lincoln, Jordan and Luna race past her and head outside. But something caught Lynn's eyes, she saw that Luna had some roller skates with her.
Outside, Patriot and Valkyrie are flying high.
"Where the heck are they?" asked Sadie.
"This had better not be a prank, because that's Luan's thing" replied Giggles.
"Wonder what's taking them so long" said Simon.
Then Lincoln and Jordan come out of the house, with Luna following.
"You guys finally made it" said Kat.
"Let's go then" said Stella. "Also, what's Luna doing here?"
"And are those roller skates?" asked Tabby.
"Sure is dudes, I used to ride on these babies long ago, and they still fit" Luna looks to her roller skates which did still fit her.
"Wow! Now this is something I did not see coming!" said Polly.
"Also, Luna is just tagging along for some company" replied Jordan.
"Oh, Sam did say she had something busy to do in her room. I don't know what it is, I just stayed out of her business" replied Simon.
"Well, it's not just h company I'm in for, I also wanna know what these two little lover dudes did at Great Lake City yesterday, you two didn't mention what you did yesterday due to being burned out" replied Luna.
"That is true" replied Lincoln.
"Then what the heck are we all waiting for? Let's go already!" said Rusty.
"Yeah!" they all cheered. They hopped onto their bikes and roller skates and made their way to Ketcham Park, with Patriot and Valkyrie flying high in the air.
Lincoln and Jordan notice Luna pass by them on backwards, she winks at them and hugs them both and with Luna's help they get ahead of their friends.
"Oh it is on!" said Polly as she uses her roller skates to catch up.
"Wait for me!" said Rusty on his bike.
"So, I guess we're racing then!" Mollie on her bike catches up.
The others also pick up their pace, with Clyde lagging behind on his dad's tandem bike. "I really need to ask my dad's for my own bike!"
Lynn watches from the window and smiles. "Huh, did not know that Luna had those. I should ask how long she had them and why she never told me."
"What are you doing?" asked Lucy. This starts Lynn. "Geez Luce!"
Lucy smiles at the jump scare she did. "Wicked."
They hear Luan chuckle. "Good one Lucy!"
Lynn also chuckles. "Okay, okay. You got me, you wanna watch some sports bloopers with me Luce?"
"Is it the one where they're sent to the hospitals and we see their injuries?" asked Lucy.
"You know it" replied Lynn.
Lucy smiles to this. "I'm in." Lynn sits onto the couch with Lucy and they watch the sports bloopers.
Luan smiles at this nice scene on how these two are bonding. "I guess they're bonding and blooping today, don't wanna sprain my leg for this one! Hahhaha! Get it?"
