Chapter 235
(The Loud House, early morning.)
Jordan comes out of the bathroom and is all dressed in her normal clothes along with a yellow hoodie, she then goes to the bedroom and she sees Lincoln and Luna getting their bags. "Looks like we're all set and ready for today."
"Dang right we are, we got all of our gear packed up and we are ready to make like rockstars and pave our way to the open road" replied Lincoln. Luna and Jordan chuckle at what he just said.
"Nice words there bro." Luna goes over and ruffles his hair. "Learning from the big sis teacher."
"Well, we should get going now." Jordan goes over and picks up her bag. "They might be waiting outside." Lincoln and Luna nod and they all get out of the house and head downstairs.
Upon reaching the last few steps, they see the rest of the louds waiting for them and all in their normal clothes and some jackets since it is cold outside. "There's our road tripping musicians!" Rita goes to Lincoln and Luna and hugs them. "Look at you guys, going on tour with a big time rock star!"
"Thanks mom" replied Lincoln and Luna, they then break the hug and get hugged by the rest of the family.
"We are so happy for you guys!" said Leni as she hugs them.
"We'll do what we can to support you from the house" said Lori. "But don't forget to text or video chat with us."
"Going to the road to do more than just crossing" said Luan. "I guess these two birds are going to do more than just cluck around on stage! (Laughs) Get it?" They all groan from that pun.
"Pop-pop said he can't be here this early, but he is proud at what you two are doing and he's hoping you guys stay safe and rock out there like champs!" said Lynn Jr.
"We're gonna miss you Linky!" reply the twins as they hug Lincoln's legs.
"They will only be gone for a week, though I myself feel distressed with how you two won't be here. But nevertheless we will do what we can to hold down the house even with you two not round and also clean your room" replied Lisa. Lily also joins in the hug.
Lincoln then hands Lily his stuffed rabbit. "To think about me while I'm gone baby sis." Lily takes the stuffed rabbit and hugs it and then hugs Lincoln.
"Bye, bye Winky." They all awe at this.
Lincoln hugs his baby sister. "See you when I get back little sister, I will come back."
They then break the hug and Lincoln sees Lucy. "Lincoln, I'm going to take advantage of this and learn how to tend to the others. In case one day you …. You leave for college." They all look to Lucy and they know she's right. "And for when you have to go to middle school, I'll be the one to make sure things around here are okay."
Lincoln smiles and hugs Lucy. "I can always count on you to make things right, you're changing and that's a good thing." Lucy then hugs Lincoln back. "See you soon Luce."
Lynn Sr takes a picture of this. "My two kids, the ones who are closest to are going on the road, without us." He then starts to cry and drop the camera, but it doesn't and he notices it's taped to his hands.
What the heck?" Lynn Jr secretly has tape in her pocket, nice call there LJ.
Rita goes over to Jordan. "Your mom and dad are outside waiting and so are the others." They all get outside and they see Chunk eating a breakfast sandwich that Lynn Sr made. They then hear a car horn and then they see Sully, Mazzy, Tabby, Simon and Sam arriving in a blue Impala Low rider?! What?!
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What?!" they all say in shock. "Dang! Now that is a car" said Lynn Jr.
The car stops and they all get out. Sam goes over to Luna, gives her a quick kiss. "You like my ride?"
They all look to Sam. "You're ride?!" Lincoln and Jordan are blown away. "What?! How? When?"
Simon chuckles. "That's right, mom and dad have been saving this car for Sam when this would happen. She earned her driver's license months ago and now she has her own set of wheels and she looks awesome!"
"Dudes! Does anyone else know about this?!" asked Luna as she looks to the electric blue car.
"Well, only us" replied Sully. "But pretty soon teens from Royal Woods High School will see this beauty when classes begin."
"The whole of Royal Woods doesn't know" replied Tabby. "Okay, so I guess Liam knows since I waited at his place and Sam picked me up from there."
"Sam will be the talk of the school and soon be joined with you" said Mazzy. "I mean, Sam has a blue impala low rider and Luna has her purple Ferrari, so it's like a couple thing."
Chunk swallows his breakfast. "That would make the color indigo." Chunk then helps get Simon's bike out of the Sam's car. "I could only guess Simon is here to say goodbye to his sister and use the bike to go home."
"You knew right Chunk my man." Simon high fives with Chunk. Then he goes over to Lincoln and Jordan. "You guys have fun on the road and don't do anything crazy out there besides just rocking and rolling."
Lincoln and Jordan chuckle. "We'll try our best and we hope you have fun with Stella for the next 7 days at Aloha Beach Resort."
"And if the life guard is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, tell him we said hi and they we're doing our own thing" replied Jordan.
Simon smiles. "Sure thing guys." He then fist bumps and shakes hands with Lincoln and Jordan.
Sully and Mazzy go over to Chunks and they check on all the gear. "Looks like we got everything here and everything in tip top shape" said Sully. "No damaged and no need for any repairs."
"I slept in the driveway in me van and made sure all the gear was ready before we shove off" replied Chunk. "They also let me sue their shower." He then takes another bite from his breakfast sandwich.
Mazzy chuckles. "Classic Chunk, always ready to be on time, on the clock and ready for whatever happens."
Lincoln and Jordan go over to Tabby. "How did Liam feel that you're going today?" asked Jordan.
"Well, the farm boy felt a little bit bummed out, but I made sure that nothing bad will happen and that I won't be doing anything that might hurt our relationship. He trusts me and I trust him to making sure that our love is as strong as the city of rock and roll" replied Tabby.
Luna, Sam, Sully, Mazzy, Lincoln, Jordan and Chunk clap at her words. "Nice speech girl" replied Jordan.
"One thing I know about Liam, he's going to be rooting for you in his dreams and also think about you for the next seven days too" replied Lincoln and they all chuckle.
Jordan sees her parents and her dog Ajax, and she goes over to them and hugs them. "Take care out there sweetie, have fun and stay safe too" replied Jesse.
"Try and stay close to Luna, Lincoln, and Sam or to anyone in the band" replied Rick. "We don't want you to get into any ruckus with some other kids around the country."
"I will mom and dad and I won't be a part of anything stupid or crazy and sure as heck Lincoln and I will have each other's backs and so will Luna." Jordan then goes to her dog and he licks her. "Easy boy, I'm gonna miss you too." She hugs Ajax. "Be good while I'm gone and don't do anything stupid or reckless or I will remove all your doggy treat privileges." Ajax has no clue how to even respond to that one.
Lincoln and Luna look to their family and hug them all again. "Stay safe out there and keep an eye on your brother Luna" said Rita. "Be a mom for him while you're doing your songs on stage."
"I will mom, I'll always be the emergency mom figure for my little bro and also be one for Jordan too" replied Luna as she hugs Rita.
"Try not to get into trouble Linky, we all know there could be a lot of people who know who you are" replied Leni as she strokes his white hair and kisses his forehead.
Lincoln chuckles. "I got it Leni, nothing bad is going to happen." the others also wish them to have fun and be safe. Then Lincoln and Jordan see Patriot and Valkyrie arrive with their chicks on their baby carrier bags, like what most normal parents wear these days. This seems weird for the others to see.
Lincoln and Jordan let them sit on their shoulders. "We really wish you guys could come with us, but you're both parents and right now your obligations are on your chicks" said Jordan.
"Keep Artemis, Freya and Harrier safe" replied Lincoln. "Perhaps when we get back they might learn how to fly and then we can spend some time all together."
The two eagles nuzzle onto Lincoln and Jordan and they pet their heads and scratch their necks, they were going to miss, Lincoln and Jordan and they were going to miss, Patriot and Valkyrie. The two eagles let them hold their chicks.
"Stay strong little guys, and wait for us to come back so we can see how much you have grown" said Lincoln as he holds Harrier.
"We are so going to miss those cute chirps you guys make." Jordan brings Freya and Artemis to her face and they try to hug her with their tiny wings. "Oh, you guys are so cute!"
They then put the little eagle babies back to their parents and then they hug Patriot and Valkyrie. "We'll be back and we'll be safe. We got this" said Lincoln and Jordan in unison. They then break the hug and have one big group hug from their family.
Then they all hear some truck and a bus horn sound. They break the hug and they see 2 Mick Swagger tour buses and a large Prime Mover truck with a large trailer in the back. "Whoa!"
The bus stops and coming out is none other than Mick Swagger. "Well, well there. Hello and top of the morning to all of ya!" He then goes towards Luna and her band. "Are you kids ready for this one week summer tour across the country?"
Luna and her band smile. "Heck yeah we are!" Luna goes towards Mick. "We still have to recall the deal we made."
"Understood luv, all in good time and my manager made sure of it as well" replied Mick Swagger. "Well he isn't here right now, he's at our next venue over at Indiana."
He then looks to Lincoln, Jordan and Tabby. "Whatever happens kids, I will make sure nothing else bad happens. That's a Mick Swagger promise."
The three kids were confused by this, but they understand. "Okay, I guess."
Mick Swagger then sees their rides. "You can all park your rides on the truck, and the van as well and." He sees the blue car. "Whose sweet ride is this?"
"That would be mine Mick" replied Sam. "My parents gave it to me before I go on the tour, I already got my driver's license from months ago and they have been saving this beauty for me for something like this."
"Now that is what I call impressive. Go ahead and park your rides in, but first we have to see your gear" said Mick Swagger.
"That won't be necessary guv" said Chunk. All the gear is in tip top shape, also I know you bus might have all the gear so the stuff we got is staying in the van."
"None sense my good man, the second bus is for the good purpose for you guys to keep your stuff" replied Mick.
They are all shocked at what he said. "What?!" They look to the second bus. "That's right mates, the second bus is for the Luna-Tics and their roadies!" the roadie driving the bus goes to Mick and hands him the keys and he hands them to Chunk. "And as the roadie of the Luna-Tics, you are driving the bus."
Chunk takes the keys and goes over to the bus and hugs it. "My bucket list is almost done!" They are all confused at what he just said. The large truck pulls out a crane and it places Luna's Ferrari, Sam's Low Rider and Chunk's van onto the trailer. "Whoa!"
Mick Swagger then looks to Luna, Sam, Sully, Mazzy, Tabby Lincoln and Luna. "Well, you all ready to rock and roll on the road?"
Luna and the others have determined looks, smile and do a rock and roll pose. "Road trip Rock tour!"
"Love that spirit mates, I'll let you guys have some last minute talks with your fam and loved ones" said Mick Swagger. He heads into his tour bus and waits for them to get into their bus.
Lincoln, Luna and Jordan go over to their family and hug them one last time. Sam goes over to Simon. "Keep everything in smooth line okay bro, mom and dad are counting on you and so am I."
Simon hugs Sam. "Come back soon sis and don't worry, we're going to Aloha beach resort so we'll be fine while you're on your tour." Sam hugs Simon and kisses his forehead. Things are starting to look similar to that from Lincoln and Luna.
They all break the hugs from each other and they head to the bus, they look at the size of it and the doors open thanks to Chunk who is already in there. "You lot are going to love what's in here."
They look into the bus and they see how big and awesome it was. There are two doors for showers and toilets, food pantry and a refrigerator, eight beds, a TV, couches, kitchen, places for their luggage and they see their gear in a secret compartment underneath the floor.
"Wow! Now this is one heck of a tour bus!" said Sully he then puts his bag away.
"Tour bus?! This is more like a mobile house!" said Mazzy, she then looks up and sees a disco ball. "Huh, that's odd."
"This is just ….. Wow! I have no words for this!" said Jordan, she turns on the TV and it shows some channels they have never seen. "Wicked!"
"Blimey! I could live in here for the rest of my bloody life!" said Tabby, she looks into the fridge. "Now this thing is loaded!"
"Dudes! This is so rad!" said Sam as she sits on the couch. "Cozy too!"
Luna sees her brother placing his bag onto one of the beds. Luna sits next to him, "You cool bro?"
Lincoln smiles. "Yeah, this is the best thing I have ever seen and I know this is the most awesome thing to have ever happen to you sis." Lincoln places down his laptop onto one of the tables.
Luna pulls him close to her. "It's way awesome with my baby bro by my side and with those who I care and love." Lincoln hugs Luna.
"Wow! This is a ride!" They see the louds and Rosato's and Simon come in and see the place. But then Luna intervenes and stops Lola and Lana from pushing any buttons.
"Guys, come on. We don't wanna do any damage to the big thing."
"Luna's right" said Chunk. "This here is a newly improved state of the art tour bus for all top gun singers to ride and they are not easy to make or buy, and very advanced for anyone to figure out."
Rita, Lynn Sr, Rick and Jesse understand. "Come on guys, let's go now. They got a road to see." the parents bring them all out of the bus, even though some of them wanted to see more of the bus.
Luna and the others look out the windows and they wave at them and they wave back. The bus starts to drive off with the large truck and trailer following them.
Lynn Sr and Rita smile. 'There they go, off to their dream.'
On the road still in Royal Woods, they explore around the bus and check out the whole thing. But they also try and be careful not to damage anything.
Chunk then sees the red light blinking. "Looks like we got a call from the other bus, I'm patching them through." Chunk pushes the button and the side phone reveals and has a screen and shows Mick Swagger.
"Hey there rockstars, how are you all doing in the tour bus?"
"We're doing great sir this is awesome!" said Lincoln.
"Thanks for letting us use this! This has got to be the best moving house I have ever seen!" said Sam.
"Way better than an RV" replied Jordan. "Or a boat house."
"Let's just say these aren't just buses and same goes with the big truck carrying your rides."
They were confused by what he said. "Umm, you said what now?" asked Mazzy.
"Let's save that one for next time mates, for when big emergencies are really needed."
Chunk sees some buttons on the controls and he sees each one has a symbol. Boat, submarine, helicopter and heavily armored. "This stuff looks wicked and cool, can't wait to give them a go soon!"
"This is still such a cool ride, is it the same as yours?" asked Tabby as she drinks a soda.
"Not really much the same as mine. That bus you got there is what I used two months ago. Right now I'm using my new tour bus." Mick Swagger's Tour bus has one large bed, a large kitchen large bathroom, lots of space for his gear, large flat screen TV, more than two couches and a personal arm chair, massaging table and right now he's in his Jacuzzi, oh and his band are also in the bus with him doing their own thing. "I'm relaxing in style and I hope you lot got some wicked songs ready for your big stage performance."
Luna nods. "We do Mick, I even made one last night and I am so ready to let the people hear it. Though, this song might be better used for when we get to a beach area."
"Then I suggest you don't use that when we get to Indiana. I suggest you use that song for when we get to Miami."
Hearing Mick say that triggers something inside of Lincoln and Jordan. 'Joy and Lance are in Miami!' Looks like they'll be seeing one of their friends again, soon.
Just then they are now leaving the town passing by the sign, an escort of Guardian and Hammer Tanks soon follows them and some IFV's and Sickle Walkers, while Apollo Fighters patrol the skies. They open their windows and they see Peter Harris saluting to them on his tank. "Have fun guys and should you run into trouble, do not hesitate to contact me. I'll make sure you guys get some backup wherever you all are."
They salute back to him and continue their drive, they soon leave the borders of Saginaw and the Allied patrol departs from them. They all look back and see them drive off. This was it, they were now far from home and on the road.
Lincoln looks around and sees Luna passing the lyric sheets to her band mates and Tabby sitting at the passenger's seat next to Chunk, they all seemed happy going through with this.
Lincoln then sees Jordan sitting on one of the beds and is looking through her tablet, he then sits next to her. "You feeling alright my love?"
Jordan leans onto his shoulder. "I am, though this whole thing is just …. Wow! I still have no words or ever imagined this is what we would be doing on our second summer together. Like last year when we went to the Aloha Beach Resort, now we're on a Road trip tour to rock and roll across America."
Lincoln pulls her close to him. "Everyone seems to know us from the whole eagle contest, so it's not going to be a surprise when people recognize us and start asking for some autographs."
Jordan kisses his cheek. "Then we better be prepared for whatever happens on the road, together." They both stay in this position, all the while Luna looks to them and smiles.
(Major City, Indiana.)
The tour buses and truck arrives to the Gamblestone Stadium, a lot of people are by the gates and are cheering for the arrival of Mick Swagger.
The two buses park themselves nearby the stadium and the man himself steps out of his bus and waves at his fans and so does the rest of his band.
Luna and her band come out and some people cheer for them because they know who they are, mostly they know Luna from her skydiving rock performance from March.
But when Lincoln and Jordan come out it turns into a roar of cheers and clapping. Lincoln and Jordan are shocked by this. "Whoa! A lot of people really do know us" said Jordan.
Lincoln chuckles. "Told ya."
"Dudes, we haven't even performed yet and the people already have a cheering empire for the two of you" chuckled Tabby.
Luna smiles seeing this. "That's my bro!" Chunk also smiles to this while moving the gear into the building with the help from the stage crew and Mick's roadies.
Mick Swagger smiles seeing this. "Well I'll be butter on morning toast. Looks like bringing them is making things a whole lot better, reminds me of my first days on tour."
"Mick!" They then see his manager. Wearing a grey suit with a red shirt inside, black shoes and has hair on the sides of his head. "Glad you could make it, and I see these are the kids you talked about who won the Banger's n' Mosh contest."
"That they are mate. My mates, this man here is Kurt D. Fitzgerald, he helped me with my tours for the last two years of my career. Unlike the last manager who was a greedy fool."
"Glad he's out of the picture" replied Kurt. He then goes to the kids. "You kids ready for tonight?"
"We are so stoked for tonight sir!" said Sam.
"It's gonna be rocking!" said Sully.
"As jazzy as the groove in our steps!" said Mazzy.
"We are ready to rock out into the City of Rock and Roll!" said Luna.
Kurt chuckles. "Reminds me of when Mick said he was as stoked as he was when he was young and hungry for greatness and look at him now, great and rocking for the fans and the people."
Mick chuckles. "I'm still the youngster everyone knows and loves guv."
Kurt looks to Lincoln and Jordan and Tabby. "And we'll make sure you kids stay safe and sound while everything goes on stage. Also it is an honor to meet the two kids who made the eagles of America look like true symbols of greatness.
Lincoln and Jordan chuckle. "Thank you sir."
Luna then goes to the manager. "Kurt, listen I was planning to let my little bro and his lady perform their song on stage, the one they performed when they won the contest. Is that okay? My band and I can go afterwards."
Mick Swagger smiles to the idea. "That could be like an opening, a lot of the fans seem to know them very well and sure as heck they'll want to see then perform on stage front line and center."
Kurt smiles to this. "Yeah, yeah that sounds like a great idea. Let's do it then." They all smile and get ready for rehearsals, this was going to be epic!
(Night time, Gamblestone Stadium.)
Lincoln checks his guitar and Jordan checks on her keytar. "Looks like everything thins is in order" said Lincoln, he then looks to Jordan. "You ready beautiful?"
Jordan takes a deep breath. "To a stage bigger than Bangers n' Mosh and has way more people? Heck yeah I am!"
Luna then goes over to them with her axe and the rest of the band are standing by onto some platforms underneath the stage. "You guys look stoked for tonight, ready to rock and roll to some good times?"
Lincoln and Jordan hug Luna. "As ready as we'll ever be!"
Luna smiles and hugs them back. "As long as we got each other's back when we can make it through this whole tour and come back home with stories to tell."
They then hear the voice of Mick Swagger from above. "Ladies and Gentleman and all my fans of Indiana! Are you ready to have a good time?"
"Looks like we're all going to be up soon." Luna then breaks the hug and looks to Sam on bass, Sully on keyboard, Mazzy on drums and Tabby on her electric guitar. "You dudes ready for this?"
"Yeah!" they all reply and so does Lincoln and Jordan. Luna then stands next to Lincoln and they all smile.
Luna looks to Kurt and nods. Kurt then gives the signal and they push the button and the platform underneath Luna and the others moves up and they are now on stage with Mick.
They hear and see all the fans of this large stadium cheer for them, they know who they are and they know what they have done.
Jordan starts the beat with her keyboard and they all perform the song "Good time." and the fans cheer at Royal Woods very familiar and trending fun time song.
This was it. This was the big time. This is where it all comes down. This is where they will see how far being recognized will go and this is just the beginning of the long road ahead of them.
Day 1, to the 7 day tour with Mick Swagger.
A/N: Here we go folks and coming next is the second day and let's hope things will remain for the better and not for the worse. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
I didn't have time to check out the locations of Indiana and so I just improvised on the city and the stadium.
Date made: 6/4/20.
