Chapter 211
(May 20. The Loud House, morning.)
Lincoln finishes putting on his shirt and his jacket and then he grabs his phone and sees a message. 'Hey handsome! If you're done with breakfast my rents and I got one heck of a surprise for ya! See you when you get to my place! I'm so excited for you to know this!'
Lincoln chuckles and puts his phone in his jacket. "Whatever she's planning is something I wanna see as well."
Luna then opens the room already dressed. "Hey bro, you ready for some morning grub?"
"Sure am" replied Lincoln.
"Well you seem happy today bro. Any plans?" asked Luna.
"Jordan said she has a surprise for me at her place. I don't know what it is, but she sounded excited, I'm headed there after breakfast" replied Lincoln.
"Cool bro, I hope you and Jordan have fun with whatever sh has planned to show ya" said Luna.
"What about you sis, anything you got planned today?" asked Lincoln.
"I'll be in the room jamming and checking on what's the new online" replied Luna. She actually has something else planned.
"Cool, maybe Sam might visit and you two could hang" replied Lincoln.
Lincoln and Luna both walk down the stairs after getting dressed, she then sees Rita on the couch typing on her laptop.
"Hey mom, doing the article now?" asked Lincoln.
"I am, and goof timing on coming down Luna. I wanna know if you got any advice of your own for the gazette" replied Rita.
"Sure, I guess I could share what I know. Right after breakfast" replied Luna.
"Take your time sweetie, I already ate so I'm gonna start on my part of the column" said Rita.
Lincoln and Luna then head into the kitchen and they see Lori and Leni making breakfast and Lola and Lana waiting.
"Umm, where's pops at?" asked Luna.
"He went to the restaurant early, so we're the ones cooking breakfast. He said he had to check up on some fish deliveries" replied Leni.
"We already gave Patriot some bacon for their chicke to feed on, and I think they literally like em" replied Lori.
Lisa then comes back into the house. "And Lori is right, the eagle chicks seem to be getting healthy after eating the bacon. I know this kind of food helps humans and it seems it helps eagles get healthy for the day as well. They should balance feeding their young with their natural raw foods for hunting and protein and cooked foods for that said added boost for their energy."
"I guess breakfast is the most important meal of the day they say! (Laughs.) Get it?" said Luan as she enters the kitchen.
They then continue to eat breakfast.
(After breakfast.)
Luna heads out of the kitchen with Lincoln behind her. "Well, I gotta get going now, see you later sis."
Luna hugs Lincoln. "Have fun with your lady bro and tell me what you guys did, and what she was planning."
"Will do Lunes" Lincoln heads out of the house and puts on his helmet and gets onto his bike and rides off.
Luna then sees her mom. "Hey mom, I'm ready for my advice for the parenting column stuff." She sits on the couch.
"Okay then sweetie, go ahead and type what you wanna add" Rita hands Luna the laptop. "Because I need to use the bathroom and pronto!" She then heads upstairs.
"Sorry mom, back of the line" said Lana. In front of her is Lola and in front of her is Lucy and in front of her is Luan and in the bathroom is Lynn.
Rita realizes this is gonna be a while. "Dang it."
Luna then types her advice: For some time, I've learned over on how my little kid has been all his life since he was born. We've had good and bad times and what I would tell you is that whatever happens I gotta be there to back him up. He's been in a heck of a pickle since he found the girl of his dreams and he's changed into someone I never knew would spark some new life in him and tighten the bond I got with him. So for some advice from me Luna Loud, mother figure to Lincoln Loud. Be there for your kid, when they feel down in the dumps, comfort them. If they don't want you to know or get involved, support them and wait till the time comes for them to tell ya what's on their little minds. Trust me, all those problems they have will be gone if you talk and comfort them, they'll feel safe when you're there for them.
Luna then puts the laptop onto the coffee table and sighs. "Man that felt pretty good. Mom was right about this writing thing I feel great!" She then notices her mom hasn't come down yet. "I guess she's in line to the bathroom." Luna then closes the laptop and heads upstairs.
She then sees her siblings and mother in line for the bathroom. "Hey mom, I finished my part on the article."
"Good job sweetie, I'll check on it later once I'm done here" said Rita.
Lynn Jr then comes out of the bathroom. "Who's next?!" she then heads back to her room.
Leni then comes up from behind Luna. "Hi Luna, by the way, why did you ask me last night if we had any babysitting gigs for the rest of the week?"
Luna puts on a fake smile. "Oh, just being cautious and wanna be sure just in case I need to go and help out some kids who need to be watched over."
"Oh, okay then" Leni heads back to her room and Luna does the same and goes to her own room.
Luna then closes the door behind her and sighs. "Okay, now to get to searching, again." She grabs her laptop and checks online, she still sees the price was still the same for the tickets. "Okay, so all I gotta do is find a gig to get some cash for the ticket's still!" She then gets a call from Sam.
"Hey Sam, what's up?"
"Hey Lunes, how's the search for the gig to get the cash for the tickets?" Any luck?"
"Nah man, I tried searching for something last night, but nothing. I asked Leni if we had any babysitting gigs this week, but still nothing! I'm kinda stumped here babe."
"Don't give up Lunes, I know you'll find a way to get the cash. I was also thinking that we should surprise the little dudes with the tickets at the same time."
"Heh, that sounds like a pretty rad idea. I'm down with it, but I gotta get the tickets for me, Linc and Jordan first."
"Say no more Lunes, I also wanna let you know I got the tickets for me, Simon and Stella. I'll keep them safe with me until you get your hands on your own tickets, and remember Lunes I'm still here if you need some help and there's no shame in asking for some cash from your parents. You guys are loaded."
"Yeah, that's my backup plan and I'm happy you got the tickets Sammy, well I gotta get back to gig searching. Talk to you later babe."
"Call you later Lunes, and good luck. You got this!"
Luna then puts her phone away and gets to searching. "Alight, this is for Lincoln and Jordan!" She then starts typing on any available gigs out there in Royal Woods.
(Rosato Residence.)
Lincoln finally arrives to the Rosato house. "So what's … Goin … On?" He stops his bike and looks at the house with the large group of construction vehicles. "What the heck?!"
Lincoln notices these construction vehicles seem different, like really, really different. They seem like the kind of tech used for the Allied outpost stuff. "What is happening here?"
Then he sees Rick, Jesse and Jordan wearing hard hats and looking at some blueprints with someone very familiar, Martin McKenzie the man who runs the other world company FutureTech.
They then see Lincoln. "Lincoln!" Jordan rushes to him and hugs him, but he's still shocked. "Glad you came, so what do you think?"
"What do I think?! I don't even know what the heck is even happening here?!" said Lincoln in panic.
Martin walks to him. "The Rosato's are planning on renovating their home to improve their security system and make it nicer to look at, also making their pool bigger."
"Wow, but ….. I don't know why you guys would do this" said Lincoln.
"We're just doing this to make things better, also we heard that our other worldly selves are doing the same thing" replied Jesse.
"Which makes it all worth the while for us to do the same" replied Jesse.
"Isn't this great! We're gonna have lots of new rooms and a bigger pool for us to throw some parties!" said Jordan.
Lincoln then passes out. "Huh, I guess it was a little too much for the Loud kid, well I should get to work" said Martin. He activates his Tech Sector Suit and flies towards the house. "Let's get that Vibranium alloy cement ready, but first let's break this place down!"
"Yeah!" cheered the rest of the troops, though they all look the same.
"I'm so glad we got all of our stuff out of the house, even the secret belongings we have" said Rick.
"Well, we should join them" said Jesse. Rick and Jesse then grab some sledgehammers and get to the wrecking down the house.
"Hey Martin! Why do some of these workers you brought in look the same? And why do they look kinda familiar?" asked Jordan.
Martin comes back down. "You remember that walking nuke blooded dork in an airship?"
"You mean Boomer? Why?" asked Jordan.
"These are clones of himself, we cloned him under his permission and there's no need to worry about them blowing up. These guys have the same element of any common human, so they'll die without going boom" replied Martin.
A portion of the house collapses. "Hey boss! Boomer Clone number 122 just got crushed!"
Martin sighs. "Oh for goodness sakes! I'll be there soon! Get rid of his corpse or burn it!"
Jordan and her parents are shocked to hear this. "He's a clone! I can open up a new one!" He then looks to Jordan. "Keep an eye on your unconscious boyfriend, I don't want him getting hurt around here while we're doing this."
"Okay then" Jordan goes to Lincoln who is still out and she puts a hard hat on him and watches the demolition of the old Rosato home with her dog Ajax. "Just you wait Linc, this house will look awesome! And it's only gonna take till the end of the day to finish."
Then Rick and Jesse take cover behind one of the tanks and so does Martin and a couple of the clones. "Hit the deck!"
"What's going on?!" asked Jordan.
"Taking too long to demolish, so we're gonna blow it to kingdom come!" said Martin.
"I'm sorry. You said what now?" asked Jordan. Rick and Jesse grab Jordan, Ajax and an unconscious Lincoln and they take cover.
The house then explodes and then implodes onto itself leaving no debris left behind.
They all look and see there was nothing left but flat land and no pool. "I thought it was going to explode?" asked Rick.
"What just happened?" asked Jesse.
"And why wasn't there a boom?" asked Jordan.
Martin then checks one of his bombs. "Oh, I must've grabbed vacuum imploder bombs, well at least we don't have to do any clean up."
"Convenient" said the Rosato's. They all get out of cover.
"Alright boys! Let's get to constructing! Deploy the nano tech and Vibranium cement and let's do this thing!" said Martin.
Lincoln then wakes up and sees what has happened. "What the? Why am I wearing a hard hat?" Then he sees the empty lot where the Rosato house was. "Oh, that's what happened." Then he faints.
Martin snickers. "Why doesn't the Linc in my world pass out like that?"
Jordan goes over to his sleeping body and helps him onto one of the bed they brought out. She then kisses his cheek. "Just take it easy Linc, I think this whole thing was too much for ya and I think it might be again when this house is done." She then heads back to the others and helps with construction.
(The Loud house, midday.)
Luna closes her laptop and sighs. "Dang it! Nothing! What the heck am I supposed to do now?!" She then looks to the picture of herself and Lincoln with Jordan and Sam to their first KISS concert last year.
"Well, I guess I should ask mom if I can have some cash for the tickets. So much for warning my keep through work" Luna gets off her bed and heads out of the room and goes downstairs, but then she notices her mom wasn't there. "Huh, where the heck is she?"
Just then the doorbell rings. "Who the heck could that be?" Luna opens the door and see Clyde and his two dad's. Though Howard looks like he's breathing to a paper bag, like what Clyde would do, long ago.
"Hi Mr. McB's, how goes it?" greeted Luna.
"It's like a waking nightmare!" yelled Howard. He then calms down.
"Deep breathes Howie" said Harold as he reassures his husband.
Luna looks to Clyde. "Dudes, what's going on?"
Clyde was happy to answer that question. "We were about to pick up Nana Gale for the annual McBride family reunion, Nana and I are the reigning sack champions four years running! This one time, Nana started hopping and ... "
Harold interrupts them. "Clyde honey short version, I've got twenty pounds of Amish potato salad out in the trunk it's threatening to turn on me!"
Clyde realizes this. "Oh right, so in a nutshell our cat sitter had to cancel at the last minute!"
"Luna. Is there anyone here who can watch over Cleopawtra and Nepurrtiti for the rest of the day?" asked Harold.
"We pay 40 bucks by the hour" replied Howard.
Luna then recalls what her other sisters were up to. "I don't know dudes. Lori's gone, she hit the golf course early. Leni's at work so she can't help. Luan is on a date with Benny-"
Howard then panics, yells and faints in the arms of Harold. Clyde tries to calm his unconscious dad.
Then Luna had an idea. The gig she needed to earn the cash for the tickets! "Hey McB's! I can cat sit for you!"
This puts a smile on Harold. "Oh Luna you're a life saver." He then tosses her something. "Here's our house keys, we left all the kitty care instructions on the kitchen table …. Oh! And just one rule, we ask that you don't have anyone else over. Our babies get anxious when they see more than one stranger at a time."
Luna is confused by this and looks to Clyde. "Even though I don't really need her, our cats do so Dr. Lopez is working with them on their trust issues."
"No prob dudes, I got this" replied Luna.
"Okay Clyde, you know the drill." Harold and Clyde slowly pick up Howard and take him into the car and they then get in.
He then looks to Luna. "Thanks again Luna, we'll be home six sharp!"
"Sounds good! And don't worry, your fur babies are in good hands!" said Luna. She then waves to them as they drive off to their family reunion.
Luna then gets to her car. "Alright, time to earn that 40 bucks an hour and get those tickets!" she then drives away from the house.
(Let's fast forward this, because all hell broke loose on this one which we all know.)
(Nighttime.)
Lincoln is in the room and turning off the laptop, he then sees Luna come into the room and a little tired. "Hey bro." She then sits onto the bean bag chair.
"Luna! Are you okay?!" asked Lincoln with concern.
"Yeah, just sleepy is all. From taking care of the McBride kitties, how was your day?" asked Luna.
Lincoln recalls about the Rosato house getting demolished and then being rebuilt right before six sharp. "Well, that's something I gotta tell or show you on Friday."
"Oh cool, cool. Now if you don't mind little bro, I need to some …" And Luna passes out into slumber land.
Lincoln smiles and places a blanket onto his sister, he then lays next to her on another beanbag chair and also gets some sleep. But he didn't notice the three tickets in her pocket, tickets to the live concert of Kid Rock!
A/N: And there goes the Purrfect gig and do not worry, this version of how it all went will be for Luna and Sam to tell in the next chapter, once they gathered Lincoln, Jordan, Simon and Stella. And on Friday will be the big Rosato house reveal/party! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
