Chapter 234
(Rosato Residence.)
Jordan looks to herself in the mirror and she takes a good look at herself and sighs. She is wearing her yellow shirt with some flower petals on the sleeves, light blue skirt, black knee length leggings, brown shoes and white socks and her signature bow, along with her necklace and her gold hooped earrings.
Jordan then looks at the time. "Well, I should get going and see if Lincoln is ready for this." She then sees her dog Ajax get off her bed and go towards her. She kneels down and pets his head. "Stay here boy, mama's gotta go and say goodbye to some pals and gals."
Jordan then exits her room with her dog following her, she then sees her mom enter the living room. "Hello sweetie, Lincoln and Luna are outside waiting for you."
Jordan smiles. "Thanks mom, I'll be back later in the day." She then opens the door and sees Lincoln and Luna leaning by the purple Ferrari already in their attire.
Lincoln is wearing an orange polo with the logo of League of Legends, red sleeveless hoodie jacket with the logo of an eagle on the back, blue jeans, brown belt, white and red sneakers and his necklace.
Luna is sporting a magenta shirt with a skull on it, purple jacket, black knee ripped jeans with a white belt, purple boots with white straps and her fingerless gloves, but she also has her signature paper clip earrings along with crescent earrings and a bunny shaped necklace.
"You two are looking kinda cool today? I thought we were just going to go and say goodbye to some of our friends" said Jordan. She goes over to Lincoln and they share a small kiss.
"Well, Luna thought it would be a good idea to show them some change to our pals and gals and perhaps this could motivate them to have an outfit change too, once they get back" replied Lincoln. "Besides, you're looking as fine as a rose yourself."
Jordan giggles. "Oh stop. You're just too much right now." She then gets hugged by Luna. "It's good to see you too Lunes." Jordan hugs her back.
"Just trying to lighten up the mood, you know that things aren't going to be the usual summer time hang out with less of your pals in town, but at least some of your pals and gals are still here" replied Luna. "I kinda forgot who else are staying home, I know Liam, Tabby, Stella and Simon are staying."
"Jenny is staying in town for the whole summer" replied Jordan. "And I kinda figured out why too, she said she was planning on some new name for the Royal Woods Middle School news blog since Principal Ramirez had decided to change it to the person who's going to become the chief of the whole thing, and of course it was Jenny who was chosen for that role."
Lincoln chuckles. "I could only guess Principal Ramirez must've seen her files and is impressed. Jenny is the first one in the group to score it big in Middle School this early."
"Actually that would be you two" replied Luna. "Recall after Lynn's grad day when Coach Keck went to the two of you and showed you guys the dodge ball competition?"
Lincoln and Jordan recall about that and they knew Luna was right. "Okay, okay. So Linc and I are first place making Jenny second to make a big impression" replied Jordan.
Lincoln then checks his watch. "We should get going to the airport, they're probably waiting for us to be there to bid them farewell." They all get into Luna's car and they head off to the airport.
(Royal Woods Airport.)
They soon arrive, though they had to find a suitable parking space since this is an airport and they finally did after five minutes. They all come out of the car. "Is it really this hard to find a good parking spot at these kinds of places" said Luna in annoyance. "Jeez, this is another reason why I hate airports, sort of."
"Let's be lucky we found one, otherwise we'd never had gotten out of there" replied Jordan. "Now, where are they?"
Lincoln then points to the group of kids with a clown kid amongst them. "Not so hard to find since Giggles is part of the group." They go over towards them. "Hey guys."
"Lincoln! Jordan!" they all go to them. "We thought you guys must've gotten stuck in traffic or something" said Jenny.
"Nope, just some hard time trying to find a good parking space and believe me it wasn't easy at all" replied Lincoln, they all see Luna waiting by the car and waving at them. They then go back to talking.
"So, you guys all looked set and ready to leave." Jordan looks to Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Trent, Cookie, Artie, Joy and Lance. They are the ones who are going someplace very far from Michigan. "I hope you guys can keep in touch with all of us and show us the amazing things you guys have done on your trips."
Mollie chuckles. "Girl, you know I'll always stay in touch with my bestie, I always got your back and I just hope you and Linc over there have a rockin' good time tomorrow."
"Let's just hope that wherever we are in Alaska we can get a good signal, otherwise we'll just be sticking to cold hard survival mode for the next three months" replied Sadie.
"Trust me Sadie, we are going to have internet and working phones" replied Mollie. "My uncle owns a large villa in Alaska that is near a large mass of land which he owns and he also has so many animals that always come by. Let's make sure we do not interact with any bears and wolves." Some part of Sadie is regretting this, but she wants to have some summer/winter fun.
"Paris is so going to be romantic for me and my Artie" replied Cookie. "We're going to go shopping, nice strolls, shopping, see the Eiffel tower, shopping, romantic sunsets, shopping and dinner."
Artie chuckles nervously. "It's not just going to be about shopping is it? I mean, we're just spending some quality time even with our families in the lovely city of love."
Cookie giggles. "I'm just messing with you my sweet boy, though I will do little shopping since Paris is going to be one expensive, moment for the both of us."
Lincoln chuckles. "Lori would definitely be jealous that you two are going to Paris, Leni would wanna see there, Lucy would love to know the dark history and Luan of course would wanna meet an actual French mime and learn the ways of miming." they all chuckle at that one.
Clyde looks to Joy and Lance. "What about you two?"
"Florida is going to be hot, hot and hotter when we get there. Plus it's the place where they made so many awesome movies and perhaps we might stumble onto a movie being made" chuckled Joy.
"And if that actually does happen to us and our families, then be prepared to see us both on the big screens" Lance puts on some shades and they all chuckle.
"Now that's what I call seeing stars in the bright future!" chuckled Giggles, Zach also laughs at her pun.
Kat leans her head onto Trent's shoulder. "Hawaii is going to be so beautiful!" she then kisses his cheek and both of them giggle and the others also find this cute.
"Well, the only thing that'll make Hawaii beautiful is the fact I got me a girl whose got going to be beauty in the water and an angel of the deep" replied Trent as he pulls Kat closer to him. "Or better yet she's oceans daughter and I'll be in love underneath." He kisses her cheek making Kat giggle.
Luna chuckles hearing this and then realizes. 'Beauty in the water, angel of the deep. Oceans daughter, I found love underneath …. Whoa! I just got me a song idea!'
Lincoln and Jordan both found the relationship between Kat and Trent to be as cute and similar to their relationship and the one to Stella and Simon. "Looks like you two will be smitten when the tides pull you into love in the shallows" replied Lincoln.
Jordan then goes over and she hugs her gals, Lincoln and the others fist bump and high five Lance, Trent and Artie.
"Try and stay out of trouble while we're not here" replied Lance.
"And when we do come back, League is going to be our mark. Five for the one win" said Trent.
"Or we could try another MOBA game" replied Artie.
Lincoln smiles. "See you boys when the school day closes in on all of us." They then see the families of the kids and they wave at them.
"Well looks like it's time for all of us to get a move on" said Mollie. They all gather their bags and walk to their families.
They then look back to Lincoln, Jordan, Simon, Stella, Clyde, Zach, Giggles, Jenny, Liam and Tabby and they wave goodbye to them. They also wave back.
Mollie and Sadie both go with their families and part ways with Kat and Trent, Lance and Joy and Cookie and Artie and they all head to their designated flights. Lincoln and the others look to the window and watch as each plane takes off.
Lincoln and Jordan smile. "Wait for it." As each plane takes off two Apollo fighters and one Harbinger Gunship follows them.
Simon looks to them. "You got them escorts so they're flights won't end badly didn't ya?" Lincoln and Jordan just snicker, that was all Simon and the others needed to know. "You sneaky little duo."
Clyde, Zach and Giggles then pick up their bags. "Well, we should head to our buses back into the town" replied Clyde. "We gotta make sure we meet up with our parents so they can watch us leave as well."
"We all came here from the rides with Mollie, Sadie and Trent" replied Zach. "And now it's about time we shoved off to our summer destinations."
"We're bound to spend less heat when we cool off at our fave things!" said Giggles.
"Come on, we'll give you guys a lift back home" replied Lincoln. Then they see Chunk's van and Luna and Chunk talking to each other. "Of course some of you came in his ride.
"I guess we forgot about telling you that one, we'll place all our stuff in Chunk's van and hitch a ride with you lot" replied Tabby.
They all bring their bags into Chunk's van and then went into Luna's Ferrari and they drove off back into town.
(Royal Woods Bus Stop near the Mayor's hall.)
Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Jenny, Liam, Tabby, Clyde, Simon, Stella and Luan watch as Giggles and Zach say their goodbyes to their parents. Though they see Zach talking to his parents about some things and they seemed to be happy for him, they then let the two kids go over to their friends. (Luan got there before they all did, I guess she's an early to be a bird! Ha!)
"Well, this is it" said Zach. "Next stop, Clowning summer camp and we'll be making some juggling good times as the entertainment keeps floating!"
Giggles snickers from that one. She then looks to Luan. "I'll do my best to be as a good as a clown as you have been and maybe one day when we get back we can make Funny Business into something as comical as comedy!"
Luan chuckles at that one. "Good one Giggles!" She then hugs Giggles. "No pressure and just let your heart soar into what you believe in." They then break the hug. "Chin up, shoes shined, joy buzzer ready, rubber chicken attached and show them how funny you can be out there!"
Giggles smiles. "I'll do my best Luan!"
Lincoln, Clyde and Liam high five with Zach. "You have fun out there Zach, it's going to be one big change for you entering the clowning/comedy business and I hope you can be as a great clown as your gal" replied Lincoln.
"We'll be rootin' for ya as the days go by and be sure to be cautious if there be some wild animals near them parts" said Liam. "I know the clowning camp is not too far from a forest, it's not a clowning camp if there ain't no nature."
Zach laughs at that one. "I'll try my best guys, and I think I'll also continue with my star gazing. My parents want me to keep an eye out for a long lost comet that hasn't been seen in 500 years." Zach then looks to Clyde. They both share a small hug.
"Have fun at Clowning camp buddy" replied Clyde, he then breaks the hug with his best pal.
"And you better make those goods at the baking camp as good as they can be, see you soon Clyde" replied Zach.
Zach and Giggles then sees the bus to clowning camp and they grab their bags. "You ready, set and going for a clowning?" asked Giggles.
Zach smiles. "I wouldn't have it any other way." They both board the bus and meet with some other kids who are trying clowning camp. Zach and Giggles find some seats and they look out the window and wave goodbye to their friends and family, until they meet them again at the end of summer.
They watch and wave as the bus was no longer in view. Then they watch as Giggles and Zach's parents get into their cars and drive off back home, feeling proud at their middle school kids growing up.
Then Clyde sees his dad's arrive in their van. "Clyde!" Harold and Howard run towards Clyde and hug him, so does Cleopawtra and Nepurrtiti. "We are so glad we came before you even left, and we're hoping you have all you need."
Jordan sighs. "Here we go again, the safety stuff."
Clyde then opens his two bags. "I got my cook book, extra clothes, my phone, all of my key ingredients, personal cooking tools, my chef outfit and a few of my allergy pills."
The others are a bit confused. Harold and Howard sigh in relief. "We thought you may have forgotten one key ingredient or a tool or some underwear" replied Harold.
"I guess we should put this back in the cabinet." Howard shows he brought a large bowl. "And now that I see your bags, it probably isn't really necessary."
Clyde chuckles. "Thanks for being so concerning dad's this is nice, not worrying about my medical issues, except for a few allergies and I'll do my best to be the best baker in camp." He then hugs his dads. "I'll miss you guys, but don't worry I will call and/or text."
Howard and Harold just hug Clyde and cry, so do their cats. "We're so proud of you Clyde."
Lincoln and the others were stunned. Clyde's dads didn't pack him too many medical junk, which means Clyde's words were able to get through to them and now they're letting him do things on his own, okay maybe him graduating grade school motivated them to do this instead.
Clyde then sees the bus from the distance headed towards them. He then goes over to his pals. "Well, I guess this is where I say goodbye. For now."
"Have fun out there dude, and make those other chefs see why you're baking is the best" said Stella.
"No pressure and no worries man. Just go with the flow and be who you are" replied Simon.
"Can't wait to see you come back and share some of them new pastries you might have" replied Liam.
"Let's see if you got the chops to make scones better than anything when you get there" said Tabby.
"When you do get back and you did something awesome, then I'll make sure your words are heard McBride" replied Jenny.
"You are so going to put the pan in the oven on them" chuckled Luan.
"Rock on and bake on little dude" replied Luna.
Clyde then looks to Lincoln and Jordan. "Things will be really different by the time I get back, that part I know and I hope you guys have a fun time with the Mick Swagger tour, all of you."
Lincoln and Jordan go over and hug Clyde. "See you when you get back Clyde and try and find someone who can care and help you along the way too" replied Jordan. They soon break the hug.
Clyde chuckles. "I will and keep an eye on Lincoln, he needs all the company as this summer roles on." Jordan nods, then Clyde looks to Lincoln.
Lincoln smiles and shakes his hand. "See you when you get back, buddy."
Clyde was pleased to heat that again. "We might not the best of friends or even Clincoln McLoud anymore, but I am so glad that things changed and made us all who we are. Take care Lincold Loud and I'll see you when classes start."
Clyde then sees the bus has arrived and it's named for Michigan Summer Camp, delta-22. There must be a lot of other camps out there.
Clyde then looks to his friends and his dad's and he waves goodbye to them, he then gets onboard the bus and he looks out the window and he waves goodbye to them, he sees them all shed some tears and wave good luck to him. Okay, so Howard and Harold are the ones crying.
Lincoln sighs. "Well, I guess that's all of them. Now all we gotta do is wait for them to come back home." The others also agreed, summer isn't going to be the same much, now that half of their friends are no longer there.
On the bus, Clyde is going through his personal recipe book, then the bus stops and someone comes onboard and is standing next to his seat. "Excuse me, is this seat taken?" Clyde looks to the girl and is in an awes struck look.
A thin girl with light skin, long brunette hair and two pairs of eye lashes. She's wearing a light purple beret, a t-shirt in horizontal black and white stripes, a pink overall dress, black and white striped sock and purple shoes. "Hi, my name is Chloe. Chloe Curda."
"Clyde, Clyde McBride and this seat is available." Clyde moves his bag down and Chloe sits next to him. "Are you new in town Chloe?"
"I am, my parents and my little sister have just moved from Great Lake City and even though I should be hanging out in town and learning all about the other kids, I still wanna go forward with baking camp" replied Chloe. She then notices his book of personal recipes.
"Wow, you got one too!" She shows Clyde her personal book of recipes. "I've been baking since I was ten and one day I wanna be on Operation Dessert Storm."
"That's my favorite show!" said Clyde. Chloe giggles. "Mine too!" Clyde smiles, he could tell this was the start of something new, his Sparking Relationship.
(Night Time, the Loud House.)
Luna had finished her new song. "Mermaid, now this is going to be a one hit wonder for the tour and a lot of people are sure dang gonna love this one."
"Whatever works I guess sis." Lincoln starts to pack up some of his stuff for the big trip tomorrow and he wasn't alone.
"We got all of our personal gear, while the heavier ones are with Chunk in his van outside." Jordan places her keytar into its case. Also, she's not wrong, Chester "Chunk" Monk's van is at the Loud's driveway and he's asleep in there. Wow!
"I'm glad your parents said it was okay for you to stay over, now we can be organized and get ourselves prepped and ready for when tomorrow comes" replied Lincoln, he puts his acoustic into its case. "This is gonna be big."
Luna goes over and grabs her axe and puts it into its case. "Dang right it is. The big time, the lime light and the first ever tour for the Luna-Tics! This tour is going to be rad!" Luna then looks to the clock. "Oh, we should all get to bed now, we gotta get up bright and early before Mick's tour bus gets here and the rest of the band!"
Luckily, they are all in their pajamas and ready for some sleep. Luna goes over and she hugs Lincoln and Jordan and she kisses them both on the forehead. "Remember, tomorrow once we go on tour there might not be any going back. But should anyone, from Sam, Tabby, Sully, Mazzy, Myself and you guys go under some bad vibes and pressure, then we're headed back home. Alright?"
Lincoln and Jordan nod. "We know the plan sis, and we understand if things go awry real fast" replied Lincoln. "The one thing we know about rock and roll tours, they can get wild and crazy real fast and that's one thing we all have to avoid."
Jordan also agrees. "We're not gonna have Patriot and Valkyrie with us, so we have to keep an eye on each other and make sure none of us fall victim to anything bad or worse, we're just 12 along with Tabby and we're with 16 year olds and a few adults."
Luna then hugs them tightly. "No one is going to hurt you two little dudes, I promise that."
They then get into bed, Luna on her top bunk and Lincoln and Jordan sharing the lower bunk. "Goodnight Luna."
"Goodnight Lincoln and Jordan, let's dream on and see what tomorrow has for all of us." they then close their eyes and fall asleep. Tomorrow was a big day, one they will never forget and they hope that all their friends are having as much as a blast with their summer time vacation trips as they will soon.
A/N: So long to Clyde, Zach, Giggles, Mollie, Sadie, Trent, Kat, Joy, Lance, Cookie and Artie, but we will see them make a comeback soon at the end of August and right before school begins and it looks like Clyde McBride has met Chloe, the girl from the episode "Brave the Last Dance." Next chapter, Mick Swagger Tour: Day 1. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 6/3/20.
