Chapter 186
(Rosato Residence.)
Jordan is busy setting up the rest of the house for the big night, she is still in her normal day clothes, but she can't wait for this big sleep over to get started.
She heads to the living room with the list of rules in hand. Then she spots her mom coming out of the kitchen with a large plate covered by a large metal cover. "Hi sweetie, you ready for tonight?" Her mom is wearing an elegant blue dress.
"Sure am mom. I got all the rules, all of my friends will be coming with food and I have all the movie and other stuff we can all do for tonight, I just need to go through some last minute checkups to see if everything will go as planned" replied Jordan.
Jesse giggles. "You're starting to sound like your father now."
Then Rick comes down wearing a suit and tie. "She takes up that part from me, I'm proud to see you take charge sweetie. Like a boss!"
Jordan chuckle. "Thanks mom, thanks dad. And I hope you guys will have fun on your date night. I heard from Lincoln that his parents are also doing date night tonight as well."
"We're probably gonna run into them, well depending on which restaurant they chose to go to" replied Jesse.
"I got this one" Rick heads to the door and he opens it. Revealing Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Joy and Cookie. "Hi Mr. Rosato."
"Good evening girls, and you brought some stuff" said Rick.
"We did, we know that we're all gonna be having some fun, but some of us still wanna enjoy some girl-to-girl time" replied Sadie.
"So we brought some makeup kits for us to enjoy with" replied Cookie.
Jordan sees this. "I didn't really tell you guys to bring that, but it wasn't in the rules that you guys can't bring that. We'll have to run this down with Lincoln once he gets here."
"Very well then, also I brought us some Hershey's kisses!" said Mollie.
"That sounds nice, my mom did make us something for dinner. If you guys are feeling like it" said Jordan.
The girls enter the house. "Cool, what is it?" asked Kat.
"That's for when all of your little guests have arrived. Then we can show you guys what I made, and Jordan did help as well" replied Jesse.
"True, so get your things set and ready and prepare for the others arrival" said Jordan.
Mollie sees the movies she got, some of them good some of them they are unfamiliar with.
"You got some horror movies in here Jordan?" asked Joy.
"No, that's something Stella said she'll bring. As what I heard from Simon who also saw the movies, her country has some top notch pure scary movies" said Jordan.
Some of them had chills hearing that. "Yikes! Can't wait for her to bring em" said Sadie.
"And just in case you and the others do feel uncomfortable with the horror movies, remember that there are some other movies to ease the fear, works on me. Sometimes" said Rick.
"He's known to be scared by some movies, like child's play" said Jesse.
"That doll is evil and should never come to life! I resent that little freak, though Seed of Chucky wasn't quite scary, mostly weird" replied Rick.
"I have no idea what your dad is even saying" said Kat.
Then they hear the doorbell ring, Rick answers it and it was Rusty, Polly, Liam and Tabby.
"Glad you guys could make it, though Lincoln hasn't arrived yet" replied Rick.
"Well, we brought what we could bring. I got us some chocolate bars" said Polly.
"My dad let me bring some buffalo cheese chips! Three large packs, or what I call them party packs" said Rusty.
"And I got what ya'll have been waitin' for! My memaw's home made caramel apple slices!" said Liam.
"I went to his place and helped him, and boy was it tough!" said Tabby. Liam and Tabby open the small cooler they brought with him.
They all look in awe at the legendary apple slices covered in caramel and on sticks. "Wow! Those look so good!" said Cookie.
"Cool if we get some?" asked Sadie.
Liam closes the small cooler. "Not so fast there gals, we gotta wait for the others to get here."
"Aww!" they all say.
Meanwhile a purple Ferrari parks itself. "You gonna be okay little bro?" asked Luna, she looks to the passenger seat where Lincoln is sitting.
"I am, I may not be bringing much to this sleep over. But I know they'll like what it is, plus I heard that Jordan and her mom made something for dinner" replied Lincoln.
"Be lucky you didn't eat dinner yet, otherwise you'd spoil your night time snacking" chuckled Luna. She then gives Lincoln a hug and kisses his forehead. "Be safe bro, Patriot and Valkyrie are still not with you and I'm getting more and more worried for your safety."
Lincoln hugs her back. "I know, and don't worry. I'll be fine, this isn't gonna end bad."
They break the hug and Luna hands Lincoln his phone. "Be sure to call should there be any problems okay bro?"
"Okay sis, I know what to do. And I'll be sure to send you a goodnight message later" said Lincoln.
Luna chuckles. "Have fun bro and make sure it all doesn't go down south."
Lincoln gets out of the car and closes the door. "See ya tomorrow sis, and have fun having Sam over too."
"I'll tell her you said hi" Luna then drives off, she does look to her mirror and sees Lincoln waving back, she smiles and continues to drive. 'He's fine, he's got this and I know he'll be safe.'
Lincoln is about to head into the house, but then he spots an Allied Medivac dropship arrive. "And here comes company."
The Dropship lands and coming out is Ronnie Anne Santiago and Sid and Adelaide Chang.
"Hey there Lame-o" said Ronnie Anne.
"Lincoln!" Adelaide hugs him. Lincoln chuckles and hugs the little girl back. "Hey there froggy kid."
"So, where are the two eagles of virtue?" asked Sid.
"Not here I'm afraid" replied Lincoln. "Still secluded in the tree house tower."
"Oh dang it! What are they up to?" asked Adelaide.
"Whatever it is, will probably have all our minds blown" replied Sid.
"Anyways, thanks for the lift with that thing. It felt awesome flying around" said Ronnie Anne.
"We had so much fun in that transport! I never felt so alive!" said Sid.
"It was like we were birds!" said Adelaide. Froggy sits on her head and croaks.
Lincoln chuckles. "Not a problem. We know this was the one thing you need to get here and I know Bobby can't bring you all the way here, and come tomorrow you three will be taking the same thing back home."
"Sweet!" said Ronnie Anne and Sid. They watch as the Dropship takes it's leave back to the Royal Woods Allied Outpost, Lincoln then notices the large case both Ronnie Anne and Sid are carrying. "And I'm gonna guess those are the Tamales."
"Sure are, you wouldn't believe how many mom abuela wanted to bring!" said Ronnie Anne. "She wanted me to bring three coolers of it, but I chose just one. She can give some to everyone else in the apartment."
Lincoln chuckles. "Classic Rosa Casagrande."
"Well, we should get these inside now" said Sid.
Adelaide knocks on the door and it opens, revealing Jordan Rosato. She smiles and hugs Lincoln. "Glad you finally made it handsome! And you got company!"
"Hey there Jordan, we got the Tamales" said Ronnie Anne.
"And I got 12 is Midnight songs with me!" said Sid in excitement.
"And I got Froggy!" said Adelaide. Froggy croaks.
"Cool, but be sure to keep him away from Kat, Sadie, Joy and Cookie okay little lady?" said Jordan as she ruffles Adelaide's hair.
Adelaide chuckles. "Okay, I got it."
Jordan then looks to Lincoln. "So, bring anything?"
"Sure did, enough Mac n' Cheese bites for everyone to try" said Lincoln as he shows them the box.
"Mmmm, sounds tasty!" said Sid.
"I never tried your dad's cooking before, or even went to the restaurant he runs" said Adelaide.
"Same" replied Ronnie Anne.
Just then they spot another van arriving. "Looks like Zach is here, and I think Giggles is with him as well" said Lincoln.
They see Giggle coming out with a box, and then Zach talking to his mom. He then sighs and gets out of the van, Zach's mom sees Lincoln.
Lincoln waves and Mrs. Gurdle nervously waves and drives off. Zach approaches them. "What was that all about?" asked Sid.
"You know why she's like this Lincoln" said Zach.
Lincoln sighs. "Still paranoid about the outpost outside of the town still. Not gonna be easy to tell them about it, or even reason with them that not all aliens are bad I guess. But it's still good to see you two here."
"Yup, and I suggest we cake walk in there now!" said Giggles.
They all head into the house, and are greeted by everyone else, they all wanted to know what the cake is. "You all ready for this?" asked Giggles.
They all nodded in excitement. Giggles chuckles. "Here we go!" She reveals it to be a chocolate and vanilla ice-cream cake with some of cherries around it.
"Wow!" they all say in awe and with stars in their eyes.
"Now normally we should be waiting for the others, but I thought an early reveal would be nice" said Giggles.
"This looks so awesome!" said Tabby.
"Now that is one heck of a cake!" said Rusty.
"Look at that thing!" said Sadie.
"So taking a pic of this!" said Kat. "And posting it!"
"That is so cool and delicious to look at!" said Sid.
Adelaide just drools looking at this cake and so does Froggy, making some of them giggle.
"Is it cool if I add my caramel apple slices on it? Could tie the cake in together" said Liam.
"Sure, why not. Ain't no one gonna slice away some innovation here!" said Giggles.
Liam and Tabby removes the caramel apple slices of the sticks and place them on top of the ice-cream cake.
"So, can I have a slice?" asked Rusty.
"Hold it there Spokes! We gotta wait for the others" said Polly.
Rusty sighs. "Okay, fine. It's just so good to look at, and probably eat."
"You brought one heck of a cake Giggles. If one of my sisters were here, they'd ravage that cake in seconds" said Lincoln.
"Speaking of which, Lincoln Sadie brought with her, her make=up kit. Is it actually okay with you if she allow this to stay?" asked Jordan.
Lincoln looks to see Sadie holding her makeup kit box and looking nervous.
Lincoln smiles. "Sure, why not. Just as long as none of the others aren't dragged into it and it's only to those girls who want to be given a facial change."
"Yay!" Sadie goes to hug Lincoln, but Jordan stops her. "Hold it there happiness. He's with me, remember?"
Sadie chuckles nervously. "Sorry, sorry. It's just …. Thanks, not many others would be willing to let me bring my makeup kit with me. I never got a chance to us it since last year, when I got it on my birthday."
"Wait a minute! You haven't used it since you got it? How come?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"Well, I was nervous on how some of you guys would react. Also, this thing is a vintage makeup kit. Not like those new ones on TV" replied Sadie.
"Hey, it's okay. And plus, it would be a shame not to use it" said Lincoln.
Then Jordan gets an idea. "You could share it with Lincoln's sister Lola, she likes makeup no matter how old or new it is."
"Gee, thanks" replied Sadie.
They then hear another knock on the door. "I'll get it" said Jesse. She opens the door to see Simon and Stella.
"I got the Sodas!" said Simon.
"And I got some homemade sweets and horror movies!" said Stella.
"Now we're making this into a party!" said Tabby.
Simon places the sodas onto the table and sees the cake, so does Stella.
"Wow! Now that is a cake!" said Simon.
"Cool if I add some of my homemade sweets on it?" asked Stella.
"Sure, we're all as sweet as cake and slices here!" said Giggles.
Stella opens the box and brings out the macaroons and places them onto the cake with Simon's help
"Wow! Those look good" said Jesse.
"Thanks, my granny and me made them. She knows the recipe by heart from our home country" replied Stella.
Rick then picks up the horror movies she brought. "I don't know if this is English."
"Stella said that they might not be in English, but they have some English subtitles in order for us to watch" said Simon.
"Are they really that scary?" asked Adelaide.
"From what my granny and parents told me, yes they are. But it's not about the scares they watch, they mostly watch it for the history and the reason why the creatures and ghosts are attacking" replied Stella.
"Cool" Lincoln and the others check out the two horror movies from the Philippines. "The White House" and "Sukob."
"Umm, I'm afraid to ask, but are these really scary or just drama?" asked Mollie.
"You guys will have to see it to understand" replied Stella.
Then they hear another knock on the door, Jordan opens it and sees it was Clyde. "Hey guys, I came."
"Hey Clyde" Jordan then sees Clyde's dad behind him smiling. This didn't make Jordan happy. "And they're here."
"Hello there Jordan, we're just here to make sure Clyde is okay for this big sleep over" said Harold.
"We also brought some of Clyde's medications just to be sure he won't get any bad reactions in his allergies" said Howard.
"And here are some number just in case, for Dr. Lopez and his personal doctor. They both know how to treat his problems" said Harold.
Rick and Jesse take the numbers. "Sure" Rick tosses them into the trash can.
Howard then notices they're outfits, they looked fancy. "Umm, why are you two dressed like that?"
"We're going on our date night, as our once a month thing" replied Jesse.
The two McBride's gasped. Clyde sighs. "Oh no."
"This is terrible. They won't have any adult supervision to keep an eye on them!" said Harold.
"Mr. McBride, they can take care of themselves. They have been through some rough times as of lately, but through it all they toughened up" said Rick.
"Plus, they still have the numbers and communication lines to their allies outside of town" said Jesse.
"But they'll be here alone and with no one else to keep an eye on them!" said Howard.
Harold looks to Lincoln. "What about your sister Luna? Clearly she's worried about you!"
"Luna's fine with this. She knows I can handle things with my friends and Jordan with me, also I don't need therapy or some quack to solve my issues, I adapt and change with them, Like how Clyde got over Lori" said Lincoln.
"Without the help of you're so called, Dr. Lopez" said Simon.
The two McBride's gasp.
"And just for the record, you two are way too overprotective over Clyde, and sure as heck he doesn't need any of this junk either" said Stella.
"He may have some small medical issues, but he can handle things if he just gets used to it" said Zach.
"It is known that the human body can adapt to change around it. If it involves a medical problem then the body will work hard to deal with it" said Kat. They look to her confused. "What? I saw it on a channel once when I was bored."
"Word of advice, leave him be to some of his problems, aid and support him for when he asks or needs help" said Lincoln.
"You guys are acting as cautiously weird as my abuela. Though she does her trinkets and charms when she sees trouble, and I do find it annoying" said Ronnie Anne.
"I'm so glad my parents don't act like this. They're fun in thee own way" said Sid.
"Heck yeah they are" said Adelaide.
"Just stop being such worrisome weirdo's for god's sake!" said Jordan. This was one thing Clyde had to agree on.
Harold and Howard couldn't believe it they were all against them on what they're doing to Clyde.
Clyde then looks to his dad's. "Dads, we've been through this so many times and I'm gonna say it again." Clyde picks up all of the medical junk and gives it back. "I don't need these! I have to learn how to change on my own terms, I'll keep only a few allergy pills, because none of the food looks terrible to me, also I'm growing up. I'm not gonna be the fine china on the shelf anymore. It's time for me to change for the better and not for your watchful eyes."
Howard sheds a tear, he didn't know if he should be proud or heartbroken. "Umm, okay then. I guess we'll pick you up tomorrow."
"If that's what you think is best, then we won't stop you son" said Harold. They both take their leave and drive off.
Clyde sighs and they all cheer for him.
"Nice one man!" said Rusty.
"Not bad McBride" said Sadie.
"Way to go dude" said Zach.
"You owned it like a champ!" said Simon.
"Now that's what I call standing up to the man!" said Tabby.
Lincoln fist bumped him. "Way to go Clyde, embracing the change and showing you're growing up."
Clyde chuckles. "Thanks, I guess hanging out with this new Lincoln is making things a whole lot better for me." Then Clyde remembers something. "Oh yeah! I brought with me some fried chicken dumplings. My dad's think I brought sandwiches, but they don't know."
"Wow, very sneaky indeed" clapped Polly.
"A bit over the top rebel if you ask me" said Tabby.
"We're bringing a Star Wars pun into this now?" asked Simon.
"Now this just turned into an all you can eat buffet restaurant" said Zach.
"I don't know what that is, but it sure sounds fun!" said Liam.
Rick then looks to his watch. "Well, we should get going now."
"But first!" Jesse shows them the food they will all be eating for dinner, a large and I mean large Pepperoni pizza! "Enjoy this one kids."
"Whoa What?!"
Rick and Jesse chuckle. Jesse then hugs her daughter and places a kiss on her forehead. "Have fun Jordan, and don't stay up past eleven."
"We will mom" replied Jordan. She watches as he parents head to their van and drive off to their date.
Jordan then looks to everyone else. "You guys have your eyes glued to the pizza, I guess helping out my mom with this is working."
They all clap at this dinner they're all having.
"Well, amongst all the things we're all bringing to this sleepover, I guess Jordan won" said Clyde.
"Come on guys, this isn't a competition. Though, Jordan did win it if it were a competition" said Polly.
"Oh come on guys, I didn't win all of it" chuckled Jordan. Then she gets an idea. "Hey Lincoln I got an idea. Come with me!"
Lincoln follows Jordan into the kitchen, then all hear some chopping sounds and they both return with the Mac n' Cheese bites all sliced up. Lincoln and Jordan place the sliced up Mac n' Cheese Bites onto the pizza.
"Wow! Improvising" said Mollie.
"Classic Jordacoln tag team minds" said Cookie.
"You guys done made this pizza taste even better" said Liam.
"Your dad would be proud of this" said Clyde.
They then set all their sleeping bags in place. Jordan sees the time is now past five. "Alright, so let's get ourselves changed up and ready to have some of this pizza!"
"Yeah!" They all head upstairs. All the girls change in Jordan room, while the boys take the guest room, the very same one where Lincoln stayed when he took care of a sick Jordan.
They all return to the living room, and even though they're all in their sleepwear, none of this was even awkward at all.
"I got an idea! How about we watch a horror movie while eating the pizza!" said Sid.
"Now that's a plan!" said Ronnie Anne.
They all help with bringing the large plate with the pizza, Stella grabs the two CD boxes with the movies. "Okay guys which one? The house of a ghost or the cursed wedding?"
"Let's go for the wedding thing. Could be romantic" said Tabby. "Anyone want to put it to a vote?"
They all agreed to the movie. "Sukob it is then" Stella places the cd into the player and the movie starts.
Adelaide hugs Froggy, and Sid pulls her sister closer to her. "I got ya sis."
"Thanks Sid!" said Adelaide.
Lincoln found this kinda sweet, like how close he is with Luna.
They all try their best to enjoy the movie, and Stella was right, it wasn't about the scare (sort of) but mostly to see the drama and the history to why it all happened.
They soon enjoyed the rest of their night with the other thing they can enjoy.
Sid, Kat, Sadie Joy, Cookie, Giggles and Mollie had their fun with the makeup kit, Sid wanted to know if she can look like one of the guys from 12 is midnight. That was something Sadie had a hard time with.
Lincoln and the others enjoyed some video games and some TV shows, and eventually they all enjoyed the rest of the food. Mostly the Tamales.
For the rest of the night it was all smooth sailings for their sleepover, and none of the girls have had any trouble with Adelaide's frog. Until Sid notices someone yawning.
"Uh oh, looks like someone's in need of some sleep" said Sid as she rubs Adelaide's back.
"N-No …. I'm (yawn) still up" Adelaide then leans onto Sid's shoulder and dozes off.
Sid smiles and picks up her little sister and puts her into the sleeping bag. "I think we should all get some sleep now."
"Sid's right, it's already ten thirty" replied Ronnie Anne.
"Then I am glad I brought me some goat's milk" Liam takes one drink from the container and he passes out onto his sleeping bag.
Tabby chuckles and lays next to him. "Goodnight farm boy."
They all do their part to clean up some of the stuff they have. Ronnie Anne was able to put some of the Tamales into the fridge with Jordan's permission, some of them could reheat them for breakfast.
Soon the others join in to get some sleep, Clyde takes a sleeping pill. He said he has small troubles sleeping, he has no clue why though.
All of Jordan's friends have their sleeping bags at another part of the living room, far from Lincoln's friends and to avoid Polly should she start sleep shunning. How in the heck is Rusty not annoyed by her shunning?!
Simon lays down into his sleeping bag, but then he feels warm when Stella inches closer and hugs him. Simon then has a goofy grin from this.
"Your grin can still be seen by me you know" said Stella with her eyes closed. "Get some sleep Simon, dream of me while you're at it."
Simon blushes and hugs Stella in return.
Lincoln and Jordan chuckle at this, and they both check if there was any leftover messes around, and luckily there weren't any.
"Okay, looks like all is clear" said Lincoln. He turns off the living room lights.
Jordan goes upstairs with her dog and turn off the lights up stairs, and they return back to the living room.
Lincoln and Jordan both get into the large sleeping bag Jordan setup for the two of them. With Ajax sleeping at their feet.
Lincoln then pulls out his phone.
Lincoln: Hey sis, you in bed yet?
Luna: Am now bro, and Sam is here with me checking one our texting.
Lincoln: Well, Simon is having a fun time and as of now enjoying his sleep snuggle with Stella.
Luna: Be sure to take a pic and show it to Sam tomorrow. She'll love it.
Lincoln: I'm sure she will. You two having fun there?
Luna: We jammed, we saw some movies, and we showed some love. But not too much lovin' bro.
Lincoln: It's okay sis, you and Sam are both two of a kind who deserve each other, and I'm proud of it.
Luna: You're too much baby bro. How about you? How was your fun?
Lincoln: Two scary movies, some games and tons of food. You'd love this sleepover if you were here.
Luna: Well, I wouldn't want to be the older wheel in the group, but I'm sure it must've been fun. You got scared or something?
Lincoln: No, it was kinda suspenseful. But kinda nice to see how it all went down. This isn't gonna be like the Harvester incident you know.
Luna: I know, I just worry about you bro. I don't want my fave roomie to break down in fear. You know I care about you.
Lincoln: Yeah. We should get some sleep now, it's already past ten thirty.
Luna: Same here bro. I guess I'll see ya tomorrow then.
Lincoln: Okay, good night sis. I love you Luna.
Luna: Goodnight baby bro, love you too Linc.
Lincoln then puts his phone away and turns to see Jordan smiling at him. "You are really sweet when it comes to sibling love with Luna."
Lincoln scooches closer to Jordan and hugs her. "We're both two of a kind sibs who know more about each other since we first met, and out sibling bond can never be broken so easily."
Jordan kisses Lincoln and snuggles into his hug. "And I can't wait to one day call her my sister, if you know what I mean." Jordan then closes her eyes.
Lincoln blushes as to what she said and smiles. "Goodnight my love, see you tomorrow."
"And to you as well Handsome" replied Jordan. Both of them sleep peacefully in each other's arms.
A/N: And the big Sleep over night is done and done. Come next chapter will be the following day. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
