Chapter 207
(The Loud House.)
All of the Loud are enjoying their nice and peaceful Saturday, doing their own thing. They try their best to keep an eye on both Lincoln and Luna, more on Lincoln.
Currently now, Lincoln is in the backyard, playing chess with Simon.
Lisa is using her drone to keep an eye on him, Patriot and Valkyrie are both watching over him from the tower and at the same time tending to their chicks.
But the one person who is keeping an eye on him the most was Luna, and she is doing it from the view of her window. Next to her is Sam, who came to checkup and hang out with her.
"How're you holding up Lunes?" asked Sam, as she restrings one of Luna's guitars.
Luna sighs as she watches over Lincoln. "I don't know Sam. I'm a bit sore from what I've been through, but a part of me is more hurt knowing my baby bro was nearly a bleeding wreck after what happened to Jordan and me."
"Well, where is the little Rosato anyway? I thought she was staying here with you guys for a while" said Sam.
"She said she wanted to spend the night here, she left for home after breakfast and right now I think she's with her parents spending some quality time" replied Luna. "And to think, the boat trip was bad, this is way worse. For me, for Lincoln and for Jordan."
Sam puts the guitar away and scooches closer to Luna. "What Lincoln did was horrible, true. But he did what he had to, and you know he was desperate to save you and Jordan, I was also desperate. Heck everyone else was a scrambling mess trying to figure out a plan."
Luna leans her head onto Sam's shoulder. "I know Sammy. It's just that, I'm afraid of what my baby bro will become. He was so eager along with Jordan to learn more on playing with music, but after all of what we went through, again. He might be ….. Going down a cruel road, I don't want that to happen to my so- baby bro."
Sam caught the attention of what Luna almost said 'She almost called him son, I can't blame her.' "Luna, let me ask you this. Do you think what Lincoln did was wrong?"
Luna sits up. "Yes …. And no."
"Do you think he'll become some bad kid when he grows up?"
"No, well I don't think he will be a bad kid, much."
"Well, how will he become a bad kid when all he did was try and protect those he loves?"
"Well, he still has the bat and all three of us agreed that it should be used for emergencies only."
"Do you think without you by his side he's gonna turn out into a bad kid?"
Luna then pauses and realizes. "No, no he won't and with Jordan also by his side he ain't gonna be a bad boy for life."
Sam smiles. "Exactly. So you know that your little brother won't be the wrong kind of guy, but he will be the protective kind of person should the situation needs it. Just be there for him when he feels like he has to do more, okay?"
Luna smiles, kisses Sam and they hug. "Thanks Sam, I needed that talk."
"No problem babe, and that's what I'm here for." They then break the hug. "Wanna keep restringing these guitars?"
Luna sees Lincoln's hand-me-down axe and grabs it. "Yeah, let's do it."
The two of them continue with what they were doing earlier. "By the way, it is Saturday. Where the heck are Lincoln's other pals?" asked Sam.
"Huh, no clue" replied Luna.
(With Lincoln and Simon.)
"So, you and Luna doing well or are things still on edge?" Simon moves his rook.
"A bit of both, she's worried about what I did to the Stankcos, but she's also proud for coming up with the plans to saving her and Jordan" Lincoln moves his bishop.
"Well her concern seems normal. She's been doing this since trouble started tailing you and Jordan" Simon then moves one of his pawns.
"True, she has been helping me and Jordan out with many of our scarred and uneasy situations. But I wanna do this as a way to pay back for all the nice things she's been doing" Lincoln moves his knight and takes two pawns.
"You and Luna have a strong sibling bond, while with Jordan it's a strong romantic bond. With the rest of the family, it's just a common family bonding thing" Simon moves his bishop and takes a pawn.
"Yeah, I share some good moments with my sisters and parents, but having the bond with Luna is nice and the romantic bond between Jordan and me, is pretty great. Something we all look forward to in the far future" Lincoln moves his knight.
"Sam told me about the big living plan you guys made. I am impressed, normally kids like us don't think about that yet. But you and Jordan are unique like that, and in a way just being cautious and protective. Also supportive with the bonds you share" Simon moves his bishop.
"It's the best plan we got, I know you and Stella will be having that talk someday" Lincoln moves his pawn and takes the knight.
Simon chuckles and takes Lincolns bishop using his rook. "Yeah, I don't know what we'll be doing when we get to that conversation. I haven't even thought of what we might be or do in that said future."
"Well, if you ever need someone to plan or talk to about that stuff. Then I'm here dude" Lincoln takes Simon's bishop using his queen.
"By the way, are you planning on hanging out with the other guys?" Simon then moves his knight.
"Probably tomorrow, I think. They all have something else to do today" Lincoln then shifts his queen to a better angle and "Checkmate."
Simon realizes this, he had no more moves to make otherwise the king is down. "Dang it! You are good at this."
"Thanks, I got that part from my Pop-pop" said Lincoln,
"Well, I didn't ask them. But what are they doing today? All I know is what Artie, Trent and Lance are doing" said Simon.
"Clyde is bringing his cats to the vet, Zach is hanging out with Giggles at her place, Rusty is helping his dad at his work and Liam said he was busy at the farm" replied Lincoln.
"Wow, Liam's your best friend and he has a lot of stuff to do" said Simon.
"Yeah, that's what makes us have so much in common. He has lots of work and so do I, well sometimes. Even though we're best buds, we hang out when we have the time" said Lincoln.
"Well, you chose the right guy to be your best pal. Still can't say much about McBride though" said Simon.
"Cut Clyde some slack. He's doing pretty well standing up to his dad's and trying to get over all of his medical problems. It's gonna be a long while before he can recover from all of them" said Lincoln. "Anyway, enough of that. What's Trent, Lance and Artie doing? We can hang out later."
"Well, we know Lance and Artie do some kick boxing, but one thing I found out is that when Trent is with them, all three of them are doing their small part time job" said Simon.
"And what's that?" asked Lincoln.
"YouTubers" replied Simon.
Lincoln is shocked hearing that. "I'm sorry, YouTubers? As in those people who play video games and then post it so others can see even on live stream?"
"Yup, the very ones. They said they started this gig on December during Christmas vacation, well after Christmas. They got together and played a game and it turned into chaos and they posted it" replied Simon.
"Cool, what was the game?" asked Lincoln.
Simon then realizes. "Huh, they never told me. In fact I didn't ask them that one, maybe we can ask them when they're done playing."
They both clean up the chess board. "So, what are you gonna do now?" asked Simon.
"Well, I don't have any other plans left. Jordan is spending some quality time with her folks, so maybe I could either go to Gus', hang out at the park or spend some time with Luna" replied Lincoln.
"Well, we can hang out with the others tomorrow. It won't be a Gus' hangout without em" said Simon.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's get something to eat" said Lincoln. They both get up and make their way back into the house, straight for the kitchen.
"So, how was the big Gaming Hub trivia contest?" asked Lincoln.
"I flunked it, big time!" replied Simon nervously.
Lincoln grabs some bread and some peanut butter. "Was it that hard?"
"Yeah, these were questions about games I have never played. Fortnite, Team Fortress, PUBG, Skyrim and for honor!" said Simon.
"I think those are new games, Adrien said he was updating all the PC's with new games" Lincoln places peanut butter on his two pieces of bread and then hands it to Simon.
"Be lucky you weren't there, I don't think you could've played them" Simon puts some peanut butter on his two pieces of bread.
"Yeah. So who won?" asked Lincoln as he eats his sandwich.
"Some kid outside of Hazeltucky, she seems to be a player. I forgot who she was, but she had brown hair and an Ace Savvy shirt" said Simon.
Lincoln almost chokes hearing that. "You okay man?" asked Simon.
"Yeah, I think I know that girl. My friends thought I needed some new girl in my life after Ronnie Anne left, so they hooked me up with some random girls they know and it turned into chaos real fast" said Lincoln.
"Wow, so this girl I saw win. What did she do?" asked Simon.
"Her name is Renee and we fought over the limited edition Ace Savvy Christmas Special, thanks a lot Zach" groaned Lincoln.
"Wow, brutal. At least you're no longer an Ace Savvy fan" replied Simon. He then eats his sandwich.
"And thank goodness for that. I'm more into Marvel and DC comics now, they're way more inspiring" replied Lincoln.
"Way more inspiring than two guys trying to be detectives with card based background" said Simon.
"Yeah, also where the heck is Stella?" asked Lincoln.
"She's back at her place. She said she's going to download some new horror movies from her country, chances she might be planning something for one of our dates" said Simon.
"Well then, I wish you good luck" said Lincoln. "After what we watched from Jordan's slumber party, I wish Lucy was there to watch with us."
"Really?" They get startled by Lucy's sudden appearance. "How scary was it?"
Lincoln and Simon soon calm down. "I think its best you look it up, I can never unsee what I watched" said Simon.
"Hmm, thanks for the info. Just give me the name of the movie and I'll look it up" said Lucy.
Lola and Lana overhear this. "And she's gonna have some new horror stuff to love" said Lana.
"As if she wasn't spooky enough, now it's spooky raised to eleven" said Lola.
(Skip, nighttime.)
The rest of the family had just finished dinner and they are all headed back to their rooms to get ready for bed.
Lincoln did tell them what Simon said about what happened at the Local Net trivia contest, they were still concerned and saddened that Lincoln and Jordan didn't compete, but like Lincoln told them. "That didn't matter at that time, what mattered was making sure my sister was alright." Which made Luna feel happy.
Lincoln told them who won, her name and why he knows her. Then he tells Lori about what his friends did weeks after Ronnie Anne moved, or what we fans have already watched. "Getting back out there."
Lori is shocked and so are the others. Lori even asked when he's planning to hang out with them, and Luna also wants in on this. Lincoln could tell his pals are gonna get an earful, though he doesn't know who Rusty tried to hook up Lincoln with.
And we are at the now.
Lincoln heads out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth, he then enters the twin's room and sees Lana brushing Lola's hair. Lincoln smiles seeing this 'It's nice to see them spend time together like this.'
Lincoln then heads to the youngest siblings room and he sees Luan reading a bedtime story to Lily, and of course Lisa was also hearing this and was getting sleepy.
Lincoln then heads to the Goth and Jock bedroom and he sees Lynn doing some pushups and Lucy sitting on her coffin going through her laptop on any other Philippine based horror movies. 'And now she's interested in those kinds of movies, this could spell disaster for us on Halloween, mostly on dad.'
Lincoln then checks the living room, he sees both of his parents in their pajamas and watching some old fashioned movie where they use cats.
He then heads back upstairs and sees through the eldest sister's room. Lori is writing something on a piece of paper while her phone was charging and Leni is putting away all of her fabrics, she seems to be making something. But what?
He then decides to make his way back to the bedroom he shares with Luna. When he gets in, he sees Luna turning off her amps and putting her axe away. She then notices him. "Hey bro, ready to get some sleep?"
"Yeah, it's been a long day for me" said Lincoln.
"Well, it's gonna be even longer when Lori and me head to Gus' with you to have a little chat with your pals and a certain incident they tried to fix" said Luna.
Lincoln chuckles. "Mom please, don't be too harsh on them. They didn't know what my real intentions were and they were just trying to be good friends."
Luna goes to his level and fixes his hair. "Okay, okay. But they are going to get some scolding from Lori and me, and they could've just asked you what you were doing."
"Yeah, that sounds like something they should've done. I guess Jordan was right about something" said Lincoln. "They are not good at planning unless I'm there."
Luna hugs Lincoln and kisses his forehead. "And that's why you're the man-with-the-plan."
Lincoln chuckles and hugs her back.
They then break the hug and sit on Lincoln's bed. "By the way, any calls from Jordan?"
"She sent me a text two hours ago before dinner. She said she spend a whole day with her parents, they went to the mall, they went to eat at Burpin' Burger, they went to the park and then they took a stroll back home. So, I guess she had a really nice quality time with her parents" replied Lincoln.
"They worry about her, and they wanna make sure she's A-Okay after … After what happened to her" Luna looks down with some sadness.
Lincoln puts a hand on her shoulder. "Luna, what happened was done and done and I just hope it doesn't happen again. I don't like seeing you sad, just as you hate seeing me the same way."
Luna looks to her brother and hugs him tightly. "As long as I live and breathe baby bro, I ain't letting anyone hurt you or Jordan ever again, ever!"
Lincoln hugs her back and kisses her cheek. "I know mom, I love you Luna."
"I love you too, son" replied Luna. They both stay like this until it was time for hem to get some sleep.
Unknown to them that two boys are meeting in the old hideout of Hank and Hawk.
One boy is overweight with dark blonde standing hair. He wears a yellow t-shirt with a light cyan circle, a green short sleeved shirt, brown shorts and brown sandals. Patrick Aldrich.
The other kid is shaved around the head, with a black faux hawk, a think black unibrow and has braces on his teeth. He wears a red hoodie, blue jeans and white sneakers with green stripes. Dennis Stellars.
"So, are we still on with the plan dude?" asked Dennis.
"Not gonna be sure anymore man. After what happened to those Stankcos, I don't wanna get beaten to a pulp and not walk" said Patrick.
"Then what do we do now? Operation kidnap his dearest sister is a no go" said Dennis.
Then Patrick has an even better idea. "How about, we go for the sisters who aren't the strongest and are less likely to be targeted."
"Who then?" asked Dennis.
Patrick shows him the pictures, all the images of the sisters aren't crossed out, Luna's was close to being crossed out, and now Patrick crosses out three pictures. Luan, Lucy and Lisa.
"But Chandler, Hank and Hawk already kidnapped that Goth freak and that Jeffrey kid already beat up the little dirt girl. You sure this will work?" asked Dennis.
"Positive, I know that these three will be at the park tomorrow. We'll have the upper hand then" said Patrick.
"Heh, I guess sending Cristina to secretly spy on the kids at Royal Woods worked like a charm! But what do we do with her?" Dennis points to the person tied in the hide out.
"Meh, we'll figure out something. We can't have her going around telling people what we're planning to do" the Patrick has another idea. "Or, we use her to send the ransom!"
They both point the light onto a badly gagged, beaten, bruised, chained and frightened Cristina Éclair. Her clothes a little worn out and a dog bowl next to her, and around the walls are missing posters with her image one it.
Cristina cries and looks around at the two boys who were grinning evilly. She's about to be used for their evil deeds, again.
This ….. This is bad.
A/N: And that ends this final aftermath of the Luna and Jordan kidnapping, but it seems like there will be another one, and Christina is in this situation. And again, I would like to thank Avenger44 for the ideas from the last chapters and for the upcoming chapter. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
