Chapter 197
In collaboration with CartoonNetwrok90sFan.
(May 1. The Loud House.)
All of the loud siblings are checking if they all have what they need for school.
"Looks like we got everything, are we missing anyone?" asked Lori.
"Not really looking forward to some big test in class today" said Lola.
"Let's hope we do pass, we've been studying for most of the days" said Lana.
"At least you'll get it easy, at high school we're gonna have a big exam. Let's just hope we're set and tested for it!" said Luan.
"Same here in the middle school, but if I can ace the exam then I can be able to play Football! Well, once my arm is all healed up" said Lynn.
"It appears we are all present" said Lisa.
"You forgot me" said Lucy. They get startled, which makes Lucy smile. 'I missed this, sorta.'
Then Leni notices something. "Guys, where the heck are Lincoln and Luna?"
They then see Lincoln and Luna come down the stairs. "Sorry guys, had to make sure my report was still here" said Lincoln.
"Had to make sure Lincoln had his report, can't be passing without it" said Luna.
"Good we're all here. Let's get going, we got an exam to pass!" said Lori.
They all board into Vanzilla, while Luna takes in Lincoln, Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa and they drive off.
(Vanzilla.)
"Did you actually study for the whole thing Leni?" asked Luan.
Leni crosses her arms. "I did, Lori was there to see it. It's still hard for me, but at least I'm not the same old ditzy sister you all know. But I am nervous."
"Don't worry Leni, just as long as you can keep your cool then you can be able to pass it. I wonder how Bobby is doing" said Lori.
"What about you Lynn? We haven't heard any news about your friends asking you about you're injured arm" said Luan.
Lynn sighs. "Yeah, I didn't wanna tell you guys because they know how I got this. I decided to tell them the truth, and it didn't quite go so well."
"What happened?" asked Leni.
"Well, they were really cheesed off at first, but they understood how I felt. So, they all decided to keep me benched once our game starts on Sunday, which is when my arm is getting this cast off" said Lynn.
"And I'm gonna guess you gonna take this punishment in stride?" asked Lori.
"Yeah, Lincoln's a nice guy and he knows how to bring some Royal Woods spirit, also I think they want Lincoln and Jordan to be the ones to perform the American national anthem, alongside Patriot and Valkyrie" replied Lynn.
"Well you're gonna have to tell Principal Ramirez to tone down on the eagle arrival. They ain't coming down from the tower anytime soon" said Luan.
"Yeah, I gotta tell Principal Ramirez that once I get there" said Lynn.
Then Leni remembers something, but she had to hold it till it was time for them to get back home.
(Purple Ferrari.)
"So, you little dudes think you can ace the test today at school?" asked Luna.
"Hope so, I'd rather be homeschooled by now" said Lola.
"Lols, you don't have any pageants until the third week of May, and it's not even a good prize win" said Lana.
"Yeah, but still, I gotta keep up my pageants reputation" said Lola.
"What about you Lis, stoked to pass today?" asked Luna.
"No" replied Lisa.
"You're just upset that your test is just making some paper cut out and mending them with glue" replied Lucy.
Lisa sighs. "Oh universe, why must I be casted out into this unruly form and not in college" said Lisa.'
"At least you got your best friend to help you out, and also keep your sanity" said Lana.
"Sigh, I just wished our final test was something a bit more of my style" said Lucy.
"Sure, because having a Gothic history lesson is far more superior for your grade" said Lisa, sarcastically.
"You don't have to speak like that Lisa, I understand all of it" said Lucy.
Lola looks to Lincoln and realizes. "Wait a minute, how come Lincoln and his class are just doing a report and not a test?"
"The report is the test, it makes up for our total grade" replied Lincoln.
"Oh, never mind" said Lola.
"Let's hope the rest of your pals can pass as well" said Luna.
"I'm sure they'll ace it" said Lincoln.
Then the little sisters look to him. "So, what's Jordan report on?" asked Lola.
Lincoln chuckles. "Ain't it obvious?"
They all snickered. "And I'm gonna guess you're gonna record everything she said about her report, aka about you" asked Lana.
"Well, yeah. Stella said she's gonna be recording me and my report and Jordan with her report" said Lincoln. "She also wants to record Simon and his report about her."
"Well ain't that sweet of the gal, I sure would like to see how you would speak about me little bro" said Luna.
"Wait, why didn't you just read it before he was gonna show it today?" asked Lola.
"Sorry sis, but I ain't gonna get into his privacy, plus this is a surprise thing for me" replied Luna.
They then look to Lucy who sighed, but this one wasn't the normal sad sigh.
"And I know Lynn read my report, and she had to say it so Lucy can help rewrite it" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, it was really beautiful and I can't believe Lynn was capable all of it" said Lucy.
"She did good owning up to what she did, stepping out of her hard, tough and stubborn attitude to show a soft spot for the fam. I'm really proud of LJ" said Luna.
(Royal Woods Elementary.)
Vanzilla drives by, but the Ferrari stops to drop off the little Louds.
"Thanks for the ride sis, even though it's also part of your punishment I guess" said Lincoln as he hugs Luna.
"No prob bro, and have a good time with that report bro" said Luna as she hugs him back.
They then leave the Ferrari and Lincoln gets tackled by Jordan, but he stays standing. "Nice tackle, but not enough to knock me down."
Jordan giggles. "Either I'm lighter than I was before, or my handsome white-haired lover is getting stronger."
Lincoln and Jordan share a small kiss and they head into the school.
Luna sighs and smiles as she watches her little brother and his lady friend walk into the school, she then drives off to High School.
(In the school.)
Lincoln and Jordan chat to themselves while they walk down the halls, they then spot their friends. "Hey guys!"
"Hey man, you ready for today?" asked Rusty.
"Sure as heck we are" said Zach.
"And there will be no clowning around, or any misfit joking's!" said Giggles.
"So, how you doing since Lynn, you know" said Liam.
Lincoln chuckles. "Guys, I'm fine. Everything is cool between me and Lynn." He then sees Polly looking at her report. "You okay?"
Polly snaps out of it. "Huh? What? Oh, yeah I'm okay."
"You sure?" asked Jordan.
Polly sighs. "Well, ever since what I heard about what Lynn did, not quite like myself. But I'll hold my own. At least I decided to write down the other person who is important in my life, though Lynn taught me about being strong and taking winning seriously, it was Polly who showed me on how to be fair and be a good sport."
"And that's your report I guess, good for you mate" said Tabby.
"Sure wish I could give Lynn a thing or to!" said Stella.
"Easy there Stella, let's not provoke any more trouble" said Simon.
"Yeah, Lynn learned her lesson when Lincoln went Roma Reigns on her and then he went Alberto Del Rio on her" said Jordan.
"I can't believe you pulled off some of those wrestling moves on Lynn, and you even overpowered her" said Zach.
"Well, you mess with the one sister I am closest to, then you wake up the brother within me" said Lincoln.
"Yikes! Remind me not to talk about your sister too much, I might speak the wrong things" said Mollie.
"We all have a lot to share about our reports, but Lincoln's report might make the whole classroom spark some water works" said Sadie.
They all agreed on that one.
"No joke Lincoln, but Luna sure knows how to be inspiring and musically protective to ya" said Giggles.
"Normally kids like us would be embarrassed about having our older sib like that, but to you it's natural" replied Rusty.
"Yeah, you seem to take it with stride all the time, and aren't afraid on telling how great she is" said Clyde.
The man-with-the-plan with the thick skin and tough and leading attitude, all my respect buddy" said Liam.
Jordan could see Lincoln sigh and blush. 'Luna really knows how to make this once troublesome and awkward kid show some emotions, I don't know what would've happened if Linc and I never made this relationship. And if what Freezer burn said is true, then I feel sad to the other Lincoln's who never had a relationship with their Jordan's.'
They then hear the school bell ring. "Looks like it's time guys, let's do this thing!" said Lincoln.
"Yeah!"
(Skip.)
They all head to Mrs. Johnson's classroom and being with each of their reports.
Rusty was first and described just how amazing and how inspiring Polly was, he also mentioned on how tough and very motivating Polly was into not making mistakes that would get him into trouble, which made Mrs. Johnson relieved, she did not want to see Rusty make mistakes when he reaches middle school and high school.
Polly gave her report about Margo Roberts, the girl who showed her how to be a good sport.
Tabby with her report on her dad and how he showed her that 'God gave Rock n' Roll!'
Liam's is more of a tale than a report, and it was all about how his Memaw was the rough and tough tumble of the Lumpkin family.
Then came Zach's granddad and his, involvement with the legendary Roswell Crash, a lot of the students doubt this, then Zach told them that his granddad was once the body guard of the President Kennedy. Now that was a shocker.
Giggles described all she knew about Lincoln's sister, Luan Loud. From her many tactical (yet terrifying) pranks to all of her puns (that some don't find funny at all) and how much Luan inspired her to take up comedy, she even told them about who she was before Luan changed her. A shy little girl.
This made Lincoln think about Lola's friend, Meli Ramos.
Thankfully for Clyde, it was okay for him to make a report about two people. Though many of them found it less interesting and almost a snooze fest, all of the rules his dads have sounded way too overboard, and it also feared Mrs. Johnson. 'I think the McBride's need to see a therapist and I don't mean that Lopez person.'
Next was Mollie and her grandma who was the best baker she knew in Canada.
Sadie with her grandma who was a great hairstylist in the eighties.
Cookie with her report on her auntie who was great at knitting and sewing, and she made the wedding dress for the Mayor of Royal Woods.
Joy about her mom who showed her about the one sport Joy loves, Tennis. This was something they all didn't know about.
Kat and her report on her uncle who was a great doctor in Royal Woods Hospital and he had an assistant who he taught about how to tend to those who are sick, Maria Santiago. This made them all silent. Lincoln and Jordan were at a loss for words. 'I have to talk to Ronnie Anne about this' Lincoln thought to himself.
Then came Stella and her report on her granny. Her granny who lived in the Philippines in Metro Manila, lived in a house that turned out to be haunted by Spaniard ghosts, had a hard life of work, lived through the Japanese invasion of World War 2 as a little girl, performed the Philippine National anthem on the anniversary of the Philippine's freedom, was a doctor then quitted, became a tailor then quitted, became a historian then quitted, became a mechanic then quitted, became a rice field farmer then quitted and finally settled with a permanent job as the owner of a local sweet shop, which she then retired and gave it to her closest friend. But she made a heck of a fortune.
Everyone remains silent and shocked. Simon had no clue Stella's granny was like this, no wonder why she makes good sweets and can fix a music box. Though he questions why the heck does she have all these part time jobs that she quitted.
"Okay, well thank you for that report Stella. Simon, you're next" said Mrs. Johnson. 'Wow! I should visit Stella's country for summer vacation.'
Simon gets up and gets kissed on the cheek by Stella passing by, Simon blushes and smiles.
He then stands in front of the class. "My report is about the one person who stopped me from becoming a bad kid, the one person who made me who I am now. Stella Gonzales. Ever since I met Lincoln, I was just a sad sap and probably the darkest friend amongst his crew, but then I met Stella, at first I just saw her as some normal girl who I could call a friend, but then she showed me how much my actions were making mistakes, how much my actions would hurt others and how much my actions would hurt those who I care and love. Afterwards she kept guiding me out of the dark path I was taking, and helped me out of the sick and twisted world my mind was making."
"Which then eventually, she showed me some true, honest and loyal friendship. And then, it became love, and through that love I was able to purge the dark desires I had in my mind and fess up everything to Lincoln and so that we could have an understanding, and it took me a long while to gain full trust from Lincoln, and help mend the bond I almost broke with my sister Sam. I don't know who I would be now if it wasn't for the Asian girl who has the cutest smile and laugh."
Stella blushes and giggles, all while recording everything she's saying.
All the others thought it was sweet of him, Mrs. Johnson wipes away some tears. "Okay, okay. I think we've heard enough, you may take your seat now Simon."
Simon takes a bow and walks back to his seat.
As he sits next to Stella, she whispers to him. "You and me, later on a date Simon Sharp."
Simon blushes and chuckles. 'I love that girl, so much!'
Mrs. Johnson was touched by his report. 'Is this a report on their special person, or is this a book club of romance!'
"Alright, next we have Jordan Rosato" said Mrs. Johnson.
Jordan takes a deep breath and stands up. 'This is it!'
She then sees her friends giving her a thumbs up, and the other pals smiling at her. And then she sees the signature smile from her boyfriend, this was enough to give her all the confidence she needs to do this thing.
Jordan then takes her stand in front of the whole class, while Stella records this under Jordan and Lincoln's request.
The lights turn off and a spotlight is on her, a spotlight that is changing between circle shape to heart shape.
"Well, this isn't gonna be new to all of you, but you all have figured out by now what my report is about" sai Jordan.
"Lincoln Loud" they all replied. Which made them all chuckle a bit.
Jordan giggles. "True, so this is my report. The one boy, the one boy in my whole life. The very same boy who showed me not to be scared or even be shy, Lincoln. I met him long ago, when we were both five years old, well he was five and I was four. He helped me make friends, not be scared and be myself, so I guess you can say he motivated me into trying many things, and that includes dodge ball and also not to let anyone push me around."
Everyone is shocked. Lincoln is the reason why Jordan is a powerhouse dodge ball machine?!
"Lincoln, was the first kid I met who I called friend, and afterwards we remained under the friend zone for some time. We hung out some times, but then …. Then it changed, I had my gal pals and he had his, friends. But I just watched, I watched from a distance at how his small adventures led him to some troublesome times, and I even felt hurt watching as he showed he had a crush on Christina, wherever she is and then to Ronnie Anne. But I knew that Lincoln wouldn't find that perfect someone unless his heart knew, and for some reason my heart knew that as well."
Lincoln was shocked by this.
"And then, then it all began. The day we met, the day we talked and took a nice stroll in Ketcham Park, on May 9. At first it was just a friendly kind of thing, but then we both felt as if, it was more than just that and so that's where our relationship blossomed. And from that day, the rest of our crazy adventures went on, until it helped us improve our love for each other and mending bonds that were almost lost. I was able to fully understand all of his sisters, and they showed all of the lost loving nature towards their only brother."
They all awed at this.
"I felt as if I was part of a family, and also my parents felt the same as well. I mean, my dad likes Lincoln so much, I think he might be planning way ahead for our wedding."
Everyone chuckles and so does Lincoln. "You're not wrong."
"But, the one thing that made Lincoln important in my life, is love. We both have had that feeling since we first met, and like I said earlier it kept growing, and growing and growing and here we are now. We met new friends, put down some crazy enemies, did things we never did and …. Helped Lincoln find out what he is truly capable of, alone we can do some things, but when our love brings us together and unites us, it feels like … Like we can do anything, and that love will be us for as long as we live and I don't know what would've happened if we never met that day. But one thing I know for sure, we're both glad we met and made this Sparking Relationship happen, our Jordacoln."
The spotlight is gone and the lights turn back on. They all clapped at her report and many shed some tears.
She then goes to Lincoln and they share a small kiss. "I love you." This was so sweet to them, they kept shedding some tears, especially Mrs. Johnson. 'I guess this is a book club, well a book club of romance!'
Jordan then takes her seat next to Lincoln. "And I mean every word I said, all for us."
Mrs. Johnson then wipes away her tears and blows her nose. "Alright, Lincoln you're the last one."
Lincoln grabs his report and heads to the stand. Some of the students were whispering that his report would be about Jordan.
But only his friends know what his report is truly about.
'Time for another romantic report, Lincoln Loud style.' Mrs. Johnson thinks to herself, while holding onto the romance novel she's reading.
"Well, I should start now. This report is about the one person, the one person who was my first friend, before Liam, and before Clyde. She's …. She held me back when I first came to the house, she was there for me when I wanted company, mom and dad made her the one person who would be entrusted as my legal Guardian and she's the one who always knew how to make me feel happy, and special" said Lincoln.
That's when they all realized that this report is not about Jordan, but about the one person in Royal Woods who is well known for her gigs and her band.
"This report is about my rockin' roommate, Luna Loud!"
"She …. She's just like all my other sisters, talented, her own personality and pretty much successful. But that was when …. Well before I met Jordan, but even before I found my one true love, Luna was still there for me, even if she never knew. And I think it started when she made me and Clyde's first concert memorable and she bailed us out of mall jail. That's also when I learned all about her, before she was the Loudest one in the house, she was the middle child An eleven year old girl who had no clue who she was or what she was meant for, she was like me and that's why she found comfort hanging out with me, I look up to her and try to be the best middle child and older sibling."
"Then, things changed. I met Jordan and she saw how much love I showed to this girl, and then she realized her role to being my guardian was casted out, I guess the love Jordan and I showed woke it up and now she's …. She's the sister I know now, the sister who made a promise to keep me safe, and not just me she even made a special promise to also watch over Jordan and act as a big sister to her as well."
"She watched over us, she showed us our talent in music, helped us through some tough times, helped us when we were scarred out of our minds, but mostly to me. I showed so much weakness and showed how vulnerable I was, even when I thought I could hold my own and stand up against the odds, but then I realized that this spark of confidence and bravery was not just from Jordan, she woke it up but Luna was the one who sparked the Lincoln Loud we all see now, she's my inspiration. She's my teacher, sister, roommate, guardian, protector but mostly ….. She ….. She's like …. My second mom figure, my mom."
Some of them are shocked to hear this.
"She's been tending to my needs and wants since I was just a baby, and I'm not embarrassed to say that. We've had our ups and downs ever since she found out who she truly is, but when it comes to family, she was there to help out, but when things changed for the better, she became more caring than she was before. She became the Luna I knew and loved when I was so young, she was the middle child who showed me how to be a caring and responsible sibling, she was truly someone within the family that I would also call, mom and that's why I made this report all about her, the one person who made my life what it is now, Luna Loud the best sister I could ever have, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The same goes for my family of course, we may not pick favorites, but we do have someone there to share our bond with, a special sibling bond."
They all remain silent at first, but then some of them start to shed some tears. "Thank you Lincoln … Y-You may take you're s-seat now" said Mrs. Johnson as she blows her nose.
"Thanks you for letting me do this Mrs. Johnson." Lincoln smiles and walks back to his seat.
When he gets there he could see the thumbs up and smiles with tears coming from his friends, and Jordan. 'Wow, I really made one heck of an impression.'
Unknown to them, that Principal Huggins was hearing this and then he walks away with tears coming down his face.
(After school.)
All the kids walk out of the school, they even greet Lincoln on the way out.
"Looks like your report is making headlines, and I think everyone thinks it was nice of you to say that" said Jordan.
"Never thought it'd be noticed this fast, I was just expressing how I feel about Luna" said Lincoln.
They then say their goodbyes to their friends, but then they see Stella and Simon coming to them.
"That report on your sister was awesome Lincoln, all my respect and I'm gonna go home and tell my sister how I feel about her. And possibly cry as well" said Simon.
"Once the video is done, come over to my place and I'll give you guys the CD's" said Stella.
"Sure thing Stella" replied Lincoln and Jordan. They then say their goodbyes to their two friends and they spot Luna's car arrive.
"Hey dudes, ready to go home?" asked Luna.
"We sure are" replied Lincoln and Jordan.
"Also, what's with everyone waving at me when I was headed here?" asked Luna.
Lincoln chuckles. "Let's just say, my report got everyone's attention."
"A lot of attention" replied Jordan.
"Then I can't wait to see it for myself dude" replied Luna.
They had to wait for Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa. They too heard about Lincoln's report from other kids, and are looking forward to seeing the recording, soon.
(Skip, nighttime.)
Lincoln did get the CD of his report, and he made sure Luna was the first one to see it, and then he showed the report to his other family members, and they got word from Clyde that Lincoln and a lot of the others got A's from their reports, though Clyde got an A-, which he questions why.
Patriot and Valkyrie were also let in on Lincoln's report and they loved hearing it and hope they can finally show the family what they have been hiding, soon.
Lincoln is now in his room, he finishes his nighttime chat with Jordan and he puts the phone away.
Lincoln then cleans up his desk and puts all the trashed up paper away. "Well, looks like I got some trash collecting to do tomorrow."
Then he gets hugged from behind from Luna. "Hey sis."
Lincoln turns around and hugs her as well. "What you did … I'm sorry bro, but that report was beautiful! I still don't know how to thank you for that!" said Luna with some tears.
Lincoln was surprised, they were all still heart warmed by his report, they all understood perfectly about this sibling bond they have, and Lisa is now questioning the full extent on human emotions and theoretical bonding traits, let's just hope she doesn't do distant observations on them.
"I mean every word on it sis, you'll always be the one sister I can trust and truly share moments with, mom" said Lincoln as he hugs his sister tighter.
Luna sheds some more tears and smiles as she hugs him. "You're too much Lincoln, way too good of a brother my wayward son!"
Outside, all the family members were touched from hearing this.
"We made the right call giving Luna the whole guardianship role honey" said Lynn Sr.
Rita wipes away a lone tear. "I am so proud of Lincoln, and Luna."
"Literally the best sibling bond this family has" said Lori. 'Maybe I should come up with something so I can spend some time with both of them. Before I have to go to college.'
"Linky is so compassionate about his feelings!" cried Leni.
"No joke, well I don't think I have any jokes from those heart pulling words" said Luan.
"I'll be remembering this whole thing for a long, long time, and I won't be making the same mistake again" said Lynn Jr.
"It sounds a whole lot better with Lincoln's words, I truly do look up to him" said Lucy. 'He should be a poet next to music.'
"I never thought Lincoln was so good with words, he is amazing with music but this ….. This one is so beautiful!" said Lola.
"I don't know how many times we've seen his recorded report, but it still puts a smile on all our faces" said Lana.
"We've seen his recorded report approximately twenty one times, and I for one ….. Oh forget it!" Lisa sheds some tears as she hugs Lucy and Lucy hugs her. "I got you, sis."
Lily crawls to Rita and hugs her leg. "Oh, I love you too Lily" Rita picks up Lily and hugs her.
They all then head to their bedrooms, to get some sleep.
Lincoln and Luna continue their touching sibling hug, then Luna hears a yawn. "You sleepy bro?"
"Yeah, I guess I am" replied Lincoln. They both break the hug, and Lincoln gets into bed.
Luna tucks him in and strokes his white hair as she hums a soothing tune. "Everything stays."
Soon, she sees Lincoln fast asleep, holding his sister's hand. She then places a kiss onto his forehead and lays next to him and embraces her little brother. "I love you little brother, momma's got ya."
Lincoln smiles and snuggles closer to her, and they both enter dreamland, dreaming of a future with their families, loved ones and each other.
A/N: I'm still a sucker for the Lincoln and Luna bonding thing, next to Jordacoln. Thank you once again CartoonNetwrok90sFan, for helping me in coming up with this idea. Leave a review and tell me what you all think. Also, can anyone guess what's gonna happen on May 9?
