Chapter 184
(Gus' Games n' Grub.)
As usual this place is still in service despite the fact of some new computer shop in the town.
Within the arcade are Lincoln and his friends.
Lincoln is playing the new racing game alongside Simon.
Liam and Tabby are both going at it with Dance, Dance Revolution.
Rusty and Polly are both trying to see who can score the best bank shots, but Stella passes by and tosses the basketball in without even looking.
Zach and Clyde are both playing Muscle Fish vs Ace Savvy, and Zach loses a lot.
"Dude, how are you good at this?" asked Zach.
"Lincoln and I did a lot of this back then and he always beat me. But for once I'm using what I learned from defeat to win, for once" replied Clyde.
"Do you still miss having fun with Lincoln?" asked Zach as he inserts another token.
"Not at all, I mean sure I am still bummed that he's no longer interested in Ace Savvy or any of the stuff we used to do together. But I have to accept change and for once, I enjoy it" replied Clyde. He inserts another token. "Now come on, another round?"
"Maybe I can learn this time" said Zach. The two of them go all out once more trying to beat each other, and once again Zach loses. "Dang it!"
With Lincoln and Simon. "So, we're only a few days before the big night huh?" asked Simon.
"Sure is, and we have everything set and ready" said Lincoln.
"To be honest with ya. I'm kinda nervous, I'm used to being alone with Stella when we're on our dates, but this is a night time thing" said Simon as he maneuvers his car.
"Really? Well, I guess you're right. But you just have to remain calm and try not to panic, tone down the romantic side of yours and keep it low key" replied Lincoln. He dodges Simon's car and drives past him.
"True, but we're all gonna be in the same place in our night wear and you of all of us are used to having your girlfriend next to you when your asleep" replied Simon. He tries to pass by some other racecars.
"Like I said Simon, just keep calm and let the good times roll with it. That's also something Luna told me once" replied Lincoln. And he claims the win at first place.
Simon gets off the seat. "That's also what Sam once said when she was nervous about hanging out with Luna for the first time."
"Really? Wow, I guess both our sisters are into musical references and the same advice" replied Lincoln as he gets up.
"Anyways, I guess I could try and be less nervous for the big sleepover. You want something to eat? I am starving" said Simon.
"Sure, let's see if the others want to eat something as well" said Lincoln.
Stella then hugs Simon from behind. "You know I'm up for some grub."
Simon blushes, turns around and gives Stella a quick kiss. "Let's go and get the others."
(A few minutes later.)
They are all gathered into one seating area, while waiting for their pizza.
"So, my memaw and me will start with making them caramel apple slices on Friday after school, better that way so I can bring them at night" said Liam.
"I already got the soda ready, bought it with my own cash, Sam said Chunk will help me bring it all to Jordan's place on Friday" replied Simon.
"My granny and me made some nice sweets for all of you to try, they're kept safe in my room via food storage box. Sealed off from being spoiled" replied Stella.
"Giggles told me the cake she was planning to bring was sold, but she saw a different one she seemed way more interested in and she had it reserved before anyone get it. She didn't give me any details on what flavor it was, but she said we'll all enjoy it" replied Zach.
"Man, we sure are gonna be eating like royalty when we hit the sleep over" said Rusty.
Lincoln looks to Clyde. "What about you Clyde? You had a talk with your dad's?"
"My dad's and I had a serious talk about the whole thing, and they were a bit worried about me going to a big sleepover in Jordan's home, and they were this close to calling their parents. But I stopped them before they made things worse" replied Clyde.
"Whoa man, that must've been tough for you to do" said Polly.
Then Becky arrives with their pizza and sodas, and they all enjoy their lunch.
"And what are they gonna do once the sleepover night begins mate?" asked Tabby.
"Nothing, I told them they should just drop me off, and all I'm bringing are some sandwiches and my sleeping bag and if necessary my eye drops and a few of my allergy shots" replied Clyde.
"As long as it's only a few medical stuff" said Lincoln. "And why do you need eye drops anyway?"
"Dr. Lopez says that it could help improve my vision so that I won't need my glasses anymore" replied Clyde.
"Dude, is there anything Dr. Lopez has successfully told you that actually works?" asked Zach as he eats his slice.
"Because the way some of us sees it, not much has been useful" replied Rusty as he sips his soda.
Clyde thinks about it. "That is something to be concerning about, but I'm sure some of her advice helped me at some cases."
"But if they don't go well anymore, what next Clyde?" asked Stella.
Clyde then looks to Lincoln. "Did hero Linc tell you how his Clyde got over things including his medical problems?"
"No, not really. But when I have the time to meet up with him, maybe I'll ask him" said Lincoln.
"Thanks, I don't even know how my other self is even going through changes like that. But I know he must've gotten over that stuff" replied Clyde.
"You think he can tell us about his versions of us, I wanna know about me in his world" said Rusty.
"Easy there guys, there are some things he can tell us and some things he can't. Let's not push it" replied Tabby as she grabs another slice.
"Like that Boomer fella. He seemed very much into tellin' stuff, but not much into knowin' all of it" replied Liam as he swallows his pizza.
"I doubt Boomer knows Hero Linc's school life, or even asks. He seems less of a friend and more like a colleague" replied Stella as she eats her slice.
Lincoln looks to Simon. "How's Sam doing?"
Simon sighs. "She's not doing quite well. She has been very watchful over me, last night she went into my room and hugged me in my sleep and fell asleep on the same bed as me, she also cried herself to sleep. I think she got a nightmare of losing me just as her other version lost her Simon."
Lincoln sighs. "I can't blame ya Simon. Luna has nightmares of losing me after we get into some serious trouble, but it fades away eventually and it could happen to Sam. Right now she's just being protective over ya, so I guess she's pulling a Luna and you might end up pulling a Lincoln."
Simon and the others chuckle at that. "So, you gonna get some patents for that word of yours?" asked Simon.
"No, just trying to tell you the facts. Let time pass on and be there for Sam, she'll be fine once the sleepover begins but once the next day comes spend some time with her and I'm sure she'll be okay if Stella is a part of it as well" replied Lincoln.
"Oh, so I'm gonna be pulling a Jordan now?" teased Stella.
They all laugh at that one. "Probably dude, Lincoln and Simon have sisters who are very protective, and Jordan and Stella are smitten with their lovers, just as Tabby is smitten to Liam" said Polly.
"Okay guys, let's take it easy with the similarities here. We're making it sound like their clones or something" said Zach.
They all chuckle and giggle at their small jokes.
"By the way, how come Jordan isn't here?" asked Clyde. "Does she have any plans today?"
"She's with her gal pals relaxing at the spa with their moms. They wanna feel rejuvenated for the big sleep over, or she's just trying to woo me into her beautiful nature once again" said Lincoln.
"Typical Jordan" replied Stella. "She always tries to look as charming to you as possible doesn't she?"
"Yeah, and with her small rivalry against Carol now gone, I'm now fully focused on summer vacation" said Lincoln.
"How did she get over her grudge against Pingrey anyway? She never told us of her friends" asked Polly.
"That is a secret only Jordan, myself and Carol knows. I'm not telling anyone else, and neither is Carol and Jordan" replied Lincoln.
"Come on man, not even a little spoiler on what it was?" asked Rusty.
"Nope, not gonna tell" replied Lincoln. They all decided not to push it.
Liam decides to change the subject as he drinks his soda. "Does anyone have any plans for Summer Vacation before Middle school begins? My parents and I are gonna be spendin' one whole week at the Texas farm fair!"
"That sounds nice bud, I hope you and your parents have fun" said Lincoln.
"And don't forget to call or video chat with me okay farm boy?" said Tabby.
Liam chuckles. "Will do ma'am. But what will you be doing while I'm gone darlin'?"
"Well not much, just gonna be here in Royal Woods. Get some summer relaxation and maybe reason with my parents to go to the beach, just the usual stuff" replied Tabby.
"Well, like we said months ago. Rusty and I are gonna be busy getting this Spokes into shape!" said Polly.
"It's not gonna be an easy task, but heck I am going for it!" said Rusty. Polly then punches his shoulder knocking him off the seat. "That's the spirit Rusty!"
"Man I love this girl" groaned Rusty.
"We know Clyde will be going to cooking summer camp" said Simon.
"Darn right I am, time for me to get my chef on and maybe one day I could be on Operation Dessert Storm!" said Clyde.
"You do you dude, Simon and I will be doing some summer romance, maybe some beach fun, nighttime strolls, early morning get together and late night sleep overs" replied Stella. This makes Simon blush.
"Giggles and I will be spending all of our summer at summer clowning school, and my parents were okay with it. I had a talk with them and they're alien paranoia thing, and they said that I can do it as a small hobby" replied Zach. "They think me being a clown and being there with Giggles is something their proud of, I don't know why they're okay with it."
"Are your parents still trying to ask you to ask me about the Allied outpost or the sighting of the Airship yesterday?" asked Lincoln.
Zach sighs. Yeah, they still are. You know how they are with their alien thing."
"That outpost isn't even alien related, just advanced tech stuff. The airship though is just something built for war" replied Simon.
"I just hope my parents don't do anything stupid that could get them in trouble" said Zach.
"Like they might spy on Lincoln and his sisters or end up trying to get into the Allied outpost?" asked Stella.
"All of the above" replied Zach as he sips his soda.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that okay guys?" said Lincoln.
"So, what about Patriot and Valkyrie? Nothing on their surprise?" asked Polly.
"No, it's been more than a week and they haven't shown us nothing yet, they've been spending lots of time in the watchtower and haven't been interacting with me much, but I'm not gonna push it" replied Lincoln, he grabs another slice.
"I'm feelin' kinda restless with their surprise. I really wanna know what it is" said Liam.
"Patience guys, they'll let us know when we're ready. But what we wanna know is are Sid, Ronnie Anne and Adelaide ready?" asked Clyde.
"They are, Ronnie Anne is positive that her Abuela is gonna be making a lot of Tamales for us to eat, maybe we can save some of them for lunch or recess" said Lincoln. "Sid said she's not bringing any animals with her, but chances she might bring some music from her favorite boy band."
Some of them didn't quite find that amusing. "Yeah, you should talk with her about that again" said Simon.
Lincoln also understands. "Noted, Adelaide will be bringing her pet frog Froggy the 2nd, and she'll be sure he's kept out of trouble. Though, I doubt both of them can even cause any trouble."
"Hold it! Before we go any further into whatever Ronnie Anne, Sid and Adelaide do. How are they gonna come to Royal Woods?" said Stella.
That was one thing they all were now concerned and shocked. "Whoa! Nice call there Stella, but it should've been told when we were all having those rules" said Polly.
"I don't think her brother could drive them here at night" said Tabby.
"Depends if Bobby has a date with Lori" replied Zach.
Becky passes by them with some empty plates. "Lori and Bobby don't have any dating plans this Friday night guys." she then heads back to the kitchen.
"Well, that was some information" said Rusty.
"So, Ronnie Anne's mom is gonna bring her here, or her Abuela?" asked Zach.
"Things just got bad real fast" said Simon. They all continued to talk on how Santiago and the Chang's can come to Royal Woods before the Sleep over night.
Liam notices Lincoln's smile and how silent he is. "Linc, you have a plan don't ya?"
They all look to Liam, and then to Lincoln. "Yes, yes I do. Stella wasn't the only one who realized it."
"So, what is the plan to get Ronnie Anne and the others here to Royal Woods?" asked Clyde.
Lincoln swallows his pizza. "Jordan and I talked about it last night, and we got Luna to be part of it. Then we called Ronnie Anne, Sid and Adelaide and we told them that we're gonna send some transport from our allied outpost to pick them up and bring them here to Royal Woods and straight to the Rosato house."
They all remain silent and clapped. "Once again, the man-with-the-plan is at his work" said Zach.
"One step ahead of things as always" said Tabby.
"Good thinkin' there Lincoln" said Liam.
"So what's the ride their taking? Tank? Fast car? Plane? Helicopter?" asked Clyde.
"That my friends is a surprise and a request I'll be asking Hero Linc soon" replied Lincoln.
Simon whispers to Stella. "You wanna bet its Star Wars related?"
"Loser pays for date night dinner" whispered Stella.
(Hours later, The Loud house.)
Lincoln places his bike near the garage and sees Lori helping Lana with fixing Vanzilla. "You girls look like you're having fun."
Lori's outfit looks like that of a repair man from the garage. "Ugh, literally not having fun, but this is the best I can do to bond with this little grease monkey" Lori pats the head of Lana.
"She doesn't have in common with me when it comes to feeding my pets, but we both do our part with Vanzilla though" replied Lana.
"Cool, so what's the damage?" asked Lincoln.
"She has an oil leak, and she might need some spare parts for that one, and I don't think we have any more" replied Lana.
Lincoln then has an idea and uses his phone and call someone. The two girls are confused by this.
"Lincoln, what are you doing?" asked Lori.
Lincoln raises his hand for some silence. "Hello? Yeah this is Lincoln, Lincoln Loud. Can you bring some extra car or any car parts to our place? Okay. Okay, they'll be waiting outside of the house. Okay bye then" Lincoln then hangs up.
Lana was now happy. "Did you call someone for some parts?!"
"Even better, I called Peter from the allied outpost to bring in some better parts to help fix up Vanzilla, they'll also be bringing some instruction manuals on how to attach theses said parts. Hop Vanzilla is okay with the oil pipes from a Multi-Gunner IFV?" said Lincoln.
Lana runs to Lincoln and hugs him. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Lincoln!"
Lori smiles. "Literally brilliant plan little bro."
"Thanks, though we're gonna have to explain this to dad soon" replied Lincoln. "How are the others going around the house while I was hanging out at Gus'?"
"Lola is playing with her friend Meli Ramos in her room, Lisa is in the living room watching her daily show, Luan is prepping for a birthday gig this Saturday, Lynn got back earlier from hanging out with Margo, Lucy is who knows where in the house, Lily is fast asleep and you already know Luna and Leni are at the mall" replied Lori.
"Cool, only a matter of time before Luna comes home" replied Lincoln. Just then they all hear a car horn honk and they all look in shock at what they see.
"What the what?!" said Lana.
"Literally no way!" said Lori.
"L-Luna?!" said Lincoln.
"Sup dudes? Dig the ride?" asked Luna in her car. That's right! She has a freakin' Car!
But it ain't no ordinary car, Luna is riding a Chrome Purple Ferrari 488 DTB. Now that is awesome!
Lisa looks out the window and is amazed. "By the name of Copernicus!"
Lucy comes out from underneath the porch. "Whoa! Now that is sick!"
Luan comes out with her rabbit Gary. "I heard a honk, and I know it ain't a goose (sees the car.) Wow! Talk about striking it purple!"
Lola comes out of the house mad. "Can you keep it … (sees the car.) What?!"
Lynn also comes out. "What's going on?" she spits her energy drink onto Lola. "What the heck?!" Lola doesn't even notice she's drenched in energy drink and Lynn's spit.
The doors open and Luna comes out and so does Leni. "Isn't it awesome guys? All Luna did was answer a trivia question by the music store!" said Leni with excitement.
"When it comes to Mick Swagger, I know all dudes" replied Luna. She then puts her shades away and goes to Lincoln. "So, what do you think bro?"
Lincoln faints. "Bro?" Luna tries to wake him up. "Lincoln?" unknown to them that Lincoln's phone is ringing and it was Jordan.
"Looks like he fell for that surprise! Get it?" said Luan. They all didn't groan, all of them are too focused on the ride.
And then Lori faints, and then a Guardian Tank carrying a trailer with parts arrives. "Did you fellas needed this?" asked the tank driver. He then sees the Purple Ferrari. "Nice ride."
Luna has to explain about this to their parents, she just got herself one hell of a ride!
A/N: Something I came up with after an afternoon nap, and I thought Luna deserves a car, she did get her license last month. I had to look up for a purple Ferrari on Google and sure enough I found one. And do not worry, I will make a chapter when Leni gets a car, soon and possibly Lori. Unless you guys got an idea, then PM me. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
