Chapter 181
(The Loud House.)
Arriving to the Loud House, are a group of kids on their bikes, okay some of them aren't on their bikes most of them have either roller skates or scooters.
Coming in and placing down their rides are, Simon, Stella, Clyde, Liam, Tabby, Zach, Giggles, Rusty, Polly, Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Joy and Cookie.
"Looks like we're all here" said Stella.
"I can't believe that all this time you of all people have a scooter" said Joy.
Sadie chuckles. "It may not be like one of those motorized stuff, but I like to keep myself well-exercised with this."
"It actually feels good to bring out my old bike, I can't believe she still works" Mollie places her blue and pink mountain bike onto the side of the house.
"It's always good to stretch out your limbs and make sure you're prepped for the day, right Rusty?" said Polly.
"Heck yeah! And I learned how to break without crashing this time" replied rusty.
"Yeah, not breaking when you crash that is" teased Giggles. They all chuckle at that pun, for once.
Rusty just scoffed and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"So, you guys ready to check on Lincoln and Jordan?" asked Zach.
"Heck yeah we are, time for us to know what the rules of the sleepover are before we hit it on Friday" replied Liam.
"And I know they're gonna be strict and sorta fun, but mostly to do no damage or trouble" said Kat.
"Good, you guys came" said Lucy. They all get startled by her sudden appearance.
"Oh, hi there Lucy. Are Lincoln and Jordan here?" asked Stella.
"They're in the tree house waiting for you guys, Luna is also there" replied Lucy.
"Thanks Luce" said Simon. "Well, let's get going."
They all head to the backyard, when they get there they spot Patriot flying into the watch tower and he's carrying with him a trout.
"Whoa. Lincoln and Jordan weren't kidding, they did isolate themselves in the watch tower" said Clyde.
"Still, we gotta respect them privacy, don't want no talons on our skin" said Liam.
"Mates got a point, whatever it is they're planning might not be ready, but I do have a theory on what it is. I'm just not so sure" replied Tabby.
They all make it to the tree house and one by one they all climb the ladder and enter the structure.
When they enter they see Lincoln and Jordan looking at a note book that has their written rules, and Luna is sitting next to them strumming on her axe.
Luna notices them first. "Sup dudes, glad you guys made it."
Lincoln and Jordan also notice them. "Good, you guys are here. Now we can get this whole thing started."
They all make their way to the nearby bean bag chairs that were setup. "So, what are the big rules of the sleep over?" asked Joy.
"Hold that thought everyone" said Jordan. "We're not complete yet!" She grabs her tablet and she sets it onto a rotating tripod.
She then sets it to video chat and it shows Ronnie Anne, Sid and Adelaide.
"And now we're complete" replied Jordan. "Can you guys see us?"
"We can Jordan" replied Ronnie Anne.
"And the Tree house looks so different from this point of view. It's like watching those 360 videos" replied Sid.
"We're ready for your rules guys, and Froggy is with me as well" said Adelaide. Her pet frog croaks with joy. "Okay, so he's Froggy number two, but I call him Froggy anyway."
"Let's get to it then, Lincoln, Jordan tell us what are the rules of the sleep over. Also I think my familia is eavesdropping on us" said Ronnie Anne.
"No we're not" replied Hector from the other side of Ronnie Anne's door.
"Hector! Quiet!" yelled Rosa.
"See what I mean?" chuckled Ronnie Anne.
"Okay, so Rule no. 1: Rusty you gotta try and not to act as if you're some kind of ladies' man at the sleep over, because you're not" said Lincoln.
"And you can't just boast all of your girl advice at the sleep over either, it's gonna get on our nerves eventually" replied Jordan.
They all look to Rusty. Rusty sighs. "Fine, I won't."
"Don't worry guys, as long as I'm there I'll make sure Rusty doesn't do anything bad" said Polly as she playfully nudges Rusty.
"And thank goodness for that rule" said Sadie.
"Good" said Lincoln. "And now to Rule no. 2: Clyde, I know your dad's will bring some sort of humidifier thing and some other odd medical stuff, but we assure you that the whole thing is not gonna be that dangerous. We're just gonna have some snacks, watch some movies and probably chat before we get some sleep."
"So, if your dads do bring you to my place and they start talking about the safety things for my sleep over, then I will not hesitate to send you back to your home. Got it?" said Jordan.
Clyde sighs. "Got it, I have to tell this to my dad's and don't worry I am going to put my foot down and tell them that they have to stop helicoptering me."
"Didn't you say that last time?" asked Zach.
"I did, but no matter how many times I tell them they still keep an eye on me anyway. They might bring with them some dumb old medical junk that I really don't need!" said Clyde.
"Then try and tell them of harder, put some backbone in your words and confidence man, or you might be helicoptered by them for a long, long, long time" said Simon.
And this makes Clyde worried, he did not want to see a future where he would be living with his dad's still and never get a chance to be his own person. 'I gotta fix this with my dad's, and fast!'
"Okay, and then there's Rule no. 3 dudes" said Luna. "Jordan's home has a lot of stuff that can be cool and all, and we know some of you have never fully seen the insides of her place. So don't do any damage to whatever gets into your curious little minds guys."
"Oh we know, we've been in there a lot" replied Cookie.
"That's not what I mean dude" said Luna. "I'm talkin' about the ones who have never seen all of the house and can be rough at times. We only saw most of her place when we had that Star Wars movie get together."
"She has a point there guys. Only some of us have seen everything in her home" said Stella.
"I never saw the full lay out, I've only seen the pool" said Simon.
"I never been in the house, just pooling at the party!" joked Giggles.
"And now we go to rule no. 4: You guys can bring some snack, but we gotta make sure they're not gonna be inedible for the others, and we all know the foods we all eat. Plus Lincoln and I are gonna do some snack shopping tomorrow for the whole shindig, feel free to bring any kind of snacks with you, but remember the rule" said Jordan.
"Sure as heck I am so not bringing any snacks. You guys know how my mom packs my lunch" said Zach.
"Same here guys, my dad might make me bring some fish stew" said Rusty.
"Are any of you guys cool with energy drinks?" asked Polly.
"That's something we shouldn't have Polly, try and bring something else" said Lincoln.
Polly thinks about this. "Okay then man."
"My memaw is planning to make her famous caramel covered apple slices. Ya'll gonna be enjoyin' that for sure" said Liam.
"Is it cool if I bring some cake?" asked Giggles.
"That depends, was it from a birthday party?" asked Lincoln.
"Nope, I had this eye on a cake at the bakery and I got enough cash to get it and I know all of you will love it!" said Giggles. "I can have the bakery reserve it for me till Friday night, in which I will pick it up."
"I guess a cake can be okay" replied Jordan.
"I think I can get us some sodas, if not maybe some chocolate milk" said Simon.
"My granny is planning to make some sweets this week, and I am gonna help her" said Stella.
"My Abuela is bound to have us bring her Tamales and other snacks" said Ronnie Anne.
"It's gonna look more like a Spanish siesta than a sleep over at that point" said Sid. They all chuckled and they can hear the Casagrandes also chuckling at that joke.
"We are so gonna enjoy the snacks at the sleep over" said Mollie.
"Next up, Rule no. 5: Adelaide" Lincoln looks to Adelaide on the tablet.
Adelaide is confused about this. "What? What about me?"
"Nothing wrong Adelaide, it's just that …. We know you like your pet frog, but if you're gonna be part of this sleep over you have to keep an eye on him. Some of us girls aren't fond of frogs" Jordan looks to Joy.
Joy sighs. "Do not remind me Jordan."
Lincoln also felt uneasy by this, it did happen during the Girl Guru incident.
Adelaide smiles. "Okay, you can count on me that I won't let Froggy out of my sights."
Lincoln then looks to Ronnie Anne and Sid. "We got that covered too dude" said Ronnie Anne.
"We'll also keep an eye on Froggy, technically we did get her the frog" replied Sid.
"And now onto the next and probably the last rule of the sleepover little dudes" said Luna. "Supervision, I know that Lincoln and Jordan can pretty much be responsible when it comes to being left in charge. But there have been some recently uneasy events that have left some of us a bit shaken, even if we do seem to get over it."
They all recall those events and trouble incidents. They all look to Lincoln and Jordan.
"That part Luna is right on" said Lincoln.
"The one thing we do not need at a sleep over this big is something bad to go wrong, and that's what those other rules are for" said Jordan.
"So, with that being said, should something ever go wrong, Lincoln and Jordan will not hesitate to either call me, Lori, Leni, the cops or the guys at the allied outpost" replied Luna. "We know that our eagle friends might not be there to look after all of ya, but we can also count on Jordan's Australian shepherd Ajax."
"So, you or anyone else will come to the Rosato house if something bad happens via call?" asked Tabby.
Luna nods. "I got my license and I can pretty much pickup speed when it comes to urgent emergencies about my little bro and his sweet heart."
"Wow! I'm sure you can drive faster than the normal ambulance" said Clyde.
"And why my sister Sam? And why are you even mentioning her?" asked Simon.
"Sam has agreed to spend the night at the loud house with me, we'll be bunk mates for the night and do some small jams sessions. But we'll both be on alert for any call or text message from your sleep over" replied Luna.
"Oh, so that explains why Sam was so excited from you calling this morning" said Simon.
"So, are those all the rules?" asked Zach.
"Well, we have some minor rules. No bringing other friends along, no bringing any inappropriate stuff, no fighting, and no prank calls, and if you're sick, then you can't be a part of it and if you wanna bring some music, make sure it's not too loud" replied Jordan.
"I guess we can deal with some of that. But why no prank calls?" asked Mollie.
"Guys, this is a friendly get together sleep over. It is not a slumber party, there's a big difference" replied Jordan. "Which also means we can't bring any makeup kits or magazines, we can enjoy reading some books and/or watching a movie or any late night show."
"And she makes a good point" replied Sadie.
"I can bring my stereo so we can listen to some fine tunes, and I won't turn it up to eleven" said Tabby.
"Good choice little dude" replied Luna.
"So, I guess that's all settled then. Now all we have to do is get ourselves ready for the big sleep over on Friday" said Stella.
"I should tell my memaw to get ready, because we're goin to be makin' lots of caramel apple slices!" said Liam. "Which means I can't bring any of em to recess, but I don't mind."
"Let's get going guys, we got some things to do right now" said Simon.
"You guys got plans today?" asked Jordan.
"Simon and i are gonna hang out at the bike park" replied Stella.
"Let's hope those two bike dorks aren't there" said Simon.
"My dad's and I are going to be watching the all antiques show" said Clyde.
"I'm gonna help my pa with his new prize melon, we are so gonna win it at the fair!" said Liam.
"I gotta get back home so me and my parents can meet up with my uncle at the airport" said Tabby.
"My parents are taking me to the dentist to have my teeth checked out" replied Zach.
"I'm gonna meet up with Luan later at the park, we're gonna be doing a small show for some kids" replied Giggles.
"Rusty and I are going to advance in his work out, kicking soccer balls and crossing tires" said Polly.
"Wish me luck guys" chuckled Rusty.
"We're going to the mall" said Joy.
"You want in Jordan?" asked Cookie.
"No thanks guys, I think I'm gonna hang out here with this handsome face" Jordan kisses Lincoln's cheek.
Lincoln kisses her cheek in return. "And you are beautiful every time we see each other." Jordan giggles at this.
The others thought this was sweet and they all say how those two are still smitten, or just passionate with each other.
"Okay then girl, we'll see you later then" Mollie and the girls all head down from the tree house.
"Later there bud" Liam and Lincoln fist bump.
"See you around loud" said Simon.
They watch as their friends all head back to their bikes, roller skates and scooter and head off to do their own thing.
"So, what are you dudes planning for today?" asked Luna.
"We're just gonna hang out in my room" said Lincoln.
"Just some one-on-one time. Feel free to be there if you want" said Jordan.
"It'd be my pleasure dudes, I wouldn't let you two down if something as an offer like this comes up" replied Luna.
They all leave the tree house, Lincoln makes sure it's locked and they climb down the ladder.
They do turn around and spot Patriot watching over everything. "Seriously dudes, how long are we gonna have to wait?" asked Luna.
"Until they finally show us what the surprise is" replied Lincoln.
They all head into the house. Luna heads to the room first, Lincoln and Jordan run into Lana and Lola.
"Hey Lincoln" said the twins.
"Hey you two, anything you need?" asked Lincoln.
"We were wondering about Adelaide Chang" replied Lana.
"What about her?" asked Jordan.
"Well, we know that she likes to play Tea parties, princesses and stuff, like me" said Lola.
"And she also likes animals and has a pet frog, like me!" said Lana.
Lincoln chuckles. "You guys want to have a play date with her don't ya?"
"Yes" replied the twins.
"Well, how about this. Her birthday is coming up on May, maybe you can hang out with her before her birthday begins. How about a week after the sleep over?" said Lincoln.
The twins think about it. "Deal!"
Lola and Lana then head to their room, they then hear a scream coming from Lori and Leni's room.
They look inside and see Leni hiding something. "Leni! What's wrong?!" asked Lincoln.
Even Luna arrives. "What happened?"
"Umm, nothing, nothing. Everything is fine, I just made a small mistake with some clothes I was making, no harm done" replied Leni with a nervous smile.
They didn't quite fall for whatever it was Leni was doing. "Are you sure Leni?" asked Jordan. "You look nervous."
"No. I'm not nervous guys, you guys can go back to what you were doing. I'll deal with this myself. Don't worry about me" replied Leni with a nervous smile.
They wanted to help, but Leni was being persistent about letting them leave her be. "Okay Leni, if you say so" said Luna.
"But if there is something wrong, just ask us. We'll help you out sis" replied Lincoln.
Lincoln, Luna and Jordan all head towards the other room and close the door of Lori and Leni's room.
Leni sighs and looks back to the dress she was making. "Okay, okay. I can fix this. I just need to fix the hemline and fix up that tear with some steady stitching, you got this Leni! For their anniversary date!"
She then goes back to fixing what she accidently ripped, and that was the dress she made for Jordan, and next to it is the suit Lincoln would soon wear.
A/N: And the rules have been set, the plans are made and the Sleep over is inbound. I will post it on Friday so please be patient. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date Made: 3/23/20.
