Chapter 236

Lincoln awakens from his sleep and he yawns, he removes his blanket and he sees the time is now past 11. 'I should get something to drink' He gets out of bed and fails to notice the brown haired girl who was sleeping next to him.

Lincoln still has his eyes sort of closed and he goes over to the fridge and he looks inside. 'I think mom and dad should bring me with them the next time we go grocery shopping, there is just way too much soda, pudding and other weird junk in here.' Lincoln grabs a can of cold milk and he drinks it.

'I need fresh air.' Lincoln walks towards the door and he fails to feel the ground getting a bit bumpy. 'Must be a large truck driving by the house.' He then opens the door and is about to take one step, but then someone grabs him by the collar.

Lincoln opens his eyes and he sees the open road, and they're moving! "Whoa!" Lincoln is the pulled back and he lands on top of Sam. "Sam?!"

"Way too close there dude!" Sam gets up and she helps Lincoln up. "You feeling okay Lincoln? You almost walked out there buddy."

Lincoln then hugs Sam. "Thank you so much Sam, that was kinda scary and way too close for comfort."

Sam hugs him back. "I think you completely forgot that we're on the road and on tour with Mick Swagger, at least your fine and not on the pavement little dude."

They then break from the hug. "Sorry, it's gonna be some time before I get used to this, all I recall is being cheered on by so many fans after performing the song 'Good Time' along with you, Luna and Jordan and Sully and Mazzy, with Mick as well."

"Yeah, that was hours ago and we're not even close to our next destination and it's going to be a long one kiddo" replied Sam as she ruffles his hair. "I just woke up to use the rest room, you should get some sleep Linc."

Lincoln nods and he follows Sam to the beds, he then sees Sam climb onto the bed above them which she shares with Luna. Lincoln sees across from them is Mazzy and above her is Sully who is passed out after reading a musical magazine.

Lincoln looks onto his bed and he sees Jordan fast asleep and her hair a mess. Lincoln chuckles seeing this. 'Even when she's asleep her hair is still cute, sorta.' Lincoln then notices something. 'Where the heck is Tabby?'

Lincoln then sees her asleep at a bed next to theirs, she's fast asleep with her headphones on and hugging a chicken plush she got from Liam. 'She must still miss him, and judging from the laptop she also must've spoken to him as well. Maybe we should also check on the fam to see how their doing without us at home'

Lincoln then gets back into bed and he feels Jordan wrap her arms around him and she mumbles in her sleep. "We're gonna be great parents my handsome white haired king of dodge balls."

This was making things a bit awkward, but Lincoln eventually gets some sleep and let's his girlfriend hug him.

(The next day.)

Lincoln wakes up from the feeling of the bus stopping and he gets up and he sees Luna and Sam are making breakfast, Sully still sleepy at the kitchen table, Mazzy and Tabby going through some last minute things on their instruments and Jordan braiding her hair.

Lincoln gets out of bed and walks towards them. "Morning everyone." Luna looks to Lincoln and rushes towards him and hugs him. "Umm, Luna?"

Then Jordan also joins in the hug. "Oh my god Lincoln! You almost got us all worried!"

"I'm so sorry you had to see the open road like that bro!" said Luna as she hugs him tightly.

Lincoln looks to Sam. "I had to tell them, you know how much Luna cares about you and same goes for Jordan. Sorry Lincoln, I can't hold keep that secret in."

Lincoln then hugs back Jordan and Luna. "I'm okay guys, it's a good thing Sam was there to stop me from almost turning into road kill." the others did not like hearing that part.

They then break the hug. "That was way beyond being to close Linc. Oh god! I don't know how I'd live with myself if you got hurt or worse!" Luna strokes his white hair and kisses his forehead and then hugs him once again.

Jordan kisses his cheek. "Oh Linc, I should've woken up or hugged you tightly when we were both asleep! Then maybe it wouldn't have happened."

"Guys, I'm fine, really I am. Let's not make this a big fuss anymore and just have fun in … Where are we?" asked Lincoln, he looks to Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Tabby who all replied. "Cleveland, Ohio."

Then someone comes into the bus. "Hey there you lot, ready for today?" asked Chunk. "We're properly parked near the First Energy Stadium and ready to rock and roll, all of the gear and stuff from the other bus is being hauled in as we speak." He then sees the situation in the bus. "What happened here now?"

Sam goes over to Chunk. "Lincoln woke up last night, went into the fridge, eyes still closed and almost opened the door into the open road."

Chunk goes wide eyed. "What the what?! Why on earth would he do that?!"

"Sleep walking mate" replied Tabby. "That and he forgot we were on tour and thought he was back in his house, I get that a lot at times when I go onto vacation with me rents."

Luna then opens her eyes, breaks from the hug and looks to Chunk. "Hang on! You were driving the bus all night Chunk, how come you didn't hear anything at the back?"

Chunk then recalls and realizes why. "Oh, I guess I tuned into some nice relaxing music. It helps me drive at night, sorry luv. I guess I forgot to check the rear side cameras to see what was going on in the back."

Luna feels a bit irritated by that, but she then calms down. "You know what, never mind that. Just as long as Lincoln isn't hurt again, just don't let this kind of thing happen again Chunk, I mean it."

Chunk nods. "I'll try not to let anything like this happen again Lunes, I promise. And I'm really sorry for what almost happened last night, and to you as well Lincoln, sorry kid. Wow I nearly blew it big time."

Lincoln sighs. "It's okay Chunk, I didn't get hurt and everything seems to be fine. I just have to try and get used to this." Jordan remains hugging him so he hugs her back.

Luna sighs and goes over to the stove with Sam. "Let's just get breakfast over with and go to the stadium and get to rehearsals. We got a big day ahead of us."

Lincoln, Jordan, Sam, Sully, Mazzy, Tabby and Chunk can tell this is just the start of something Luna was worried about, on tour stress and pressure and they know Luna has a lot on her plate. Both in music and family matters. Lincoln doesn't want her to feel this way and he wants to make sure things don't go bad so they don't have to turn back home, they just started on day 2.

They all get to their seats and eat the bacon, eggs and orange juice Luna and Sam setup for them, while Chunk leaves them be and he goes for the nearest breakfast food truck instead. He had a lot to think about, and try and make things right so it doesn't happen again.

(Later.)

Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam, and Tabby are waiting in line at the two large bathrooms, Sully and Mazzy are suing both bathrooms. "This seems kinda familiar" replied Lincoln.

"Line, bathroom, a couple of people sharing the place and we're still all together" chuckled Luna. "Yup, this road trip is sure feeling like we're back home."

Jordan then looks to Tabby. "We all went to sleep last night, how's Liam doing back home?"

"Liam said things are going well for him at the farm, when we left he just did his casual chores and he invited Lana to come over and help out, along with Linc and Luna's dad. He got a good reward for helping in the form of fresh vegetables" replied Tabby. "Liam also said Lana was a spot on help with all of the animals and she got a chance to see her pet pig again, I think she might be spending much time at Liam's' for the whole summer."

Lincoln chuckles. "Leave it to Lana to try and find a way to get dirty and still do some work." He then looks to Luna. "Should we do a video chat with the rest of the family later Lunes? Just to see how their doing."

Luna smiles. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea bro, and we could also have the same thing for Jordan's rents, I'm sure they wanna know how she's doing as well."

"Now that sounds like a plan" replied Jordan with a smile. "I wanna know how my parents are doing and how my baby Ajax is doing and if he caused any trouble back home, otherwise he's losing his doggy treat privileges and his TV privileges!"

Lincoln, Luna, Sam and Tabby were stunned at how fast Jordan went into parent mode for her dog. "Well, I should also check on Simon and my parents, I wanna know how they're having fun at Aloha Beach Resort, and to see what romantic plans Simon did with Stella."

Lincoln chuckles. "Knowing Simon and Stella, they must be having quite the blast being together on the beach and both in their bathing suits, there's bound to be some blushing and lovey dovey gazes from them."

Jordan then leans her head onto Lincoln's shoulder. "Just like you and me handsome!"

Then Sully and Mazzy come out in their towels. "Alright guys, who's next?"

(Skip, First Energy Stadium.)

Luna and the rest of the band are now on the open field of the stadium and they see the stage is being setup and some of the gear as well. "Whoa! This place is huge!" said Lincoln as they look at all the seats.

"Way bigger than the one we've seen in Indiana, looks like this place has hosted more games and concerts than anywhere" said Jordan. "Chances WWE was here too."

Tabby then asks. "Which wrestler lives in this state?"

"Seth Rollins and also the Miz" replied Lincoln and Jordan. "Though at times Miz brags he resides in Hollywood but he just lives there with his wife and kid, he truly was born in Cleveland" replied Lincoln.

Luna and the others get onto the stage and they get to their gear and check on them. "Looks like we got all of our stuff checked and set, nothing needs any repairs or restringing." Luna puts her axe into its case.

"So, what should we do now?" asked Mazzy as she finishes checking her drums. "We already went through the notes on the songs you and Sam made and everything here seems fine."

Sam and Luna think about it. "Well, we could do some last minute rehearsals" replied Sam. "Just to make sure we got that groove on."

"Or you could go out around town and enjoy yourselves." They all turn to see Mick Swagger get on stage. "It's only past ten and the concert doesn't start till four in the evening, you lot should be exploring this town you all have never been. Go and have some before performance fun, after the amazing performance from last night, you've all earned it."

Luna smiles. "Thanks Mick, we'll be back later before four for the concert!" Luna and her band get off stage and they go over to Lincoln, Jordan and Tabby.

"Have fun kids! Music is all about having fun!" yelled Mick Swagger. He watches Luna, Sam, Lincoln, Jordan, Sully, Mazzy and Tabby take their leave out of the stadium. "Heh, those kids should relax and have some fun." But he leans onto the microphone pole and slips and falls. "I'm alright."

Outside, Luna, Sam and Chunk see the truck deploy its crane, picks up and then slowly drops off their rides. Luna's purple Ferrari, Sam's electric blue Impala and Chunk's van.

The man controlling the truck crane comes out, and it was Mick's manager Kurt D. Fitzgerald. "Alright, your rides are down and here are some gas cans to make sure they are fueled up. Also, since you kids are going off to explore the city of Cleveland, I think you guys should try the donut shop Krispy Kreme, they have some very delicious donuts there, mostly the glaze donuts."

"Thanks for the info sir, but I think we decide whether we should stick together, or split up and have fun our own way" said Chunk, he then looks to Luna and so do the others. "What's the plan Lunes?"

Luna thinks about it and then she looks to Lincoln and Jordan and worries about this, then she makes her choice. "As much fun as it sounds, we're not ready to split up and explore the place. We should just stick as a group and have fun together, so that we don't get lost. Once we do feel like the vibe of having our own fun, then on the next state we go over we can split up."

They all smile hearing that. "Now that sounds like a rockin' plan Lunes" replied Sam.

"Yeah, I can agree with that one" said Sully. "This city is new to us and we might not be able to find the stadium or each other if we split up." The others also agree.

"Alright dudes, let's get to it then!" said Luna as she opens her door and gets in along with Lincoln and Jordan. Sully, Mazzy and Tabby riding with Sam and Chunk following behind. They then drive off out of the stadium parking lot and make for the city itself.

Kurt chuckles. "Those kids are going to enjoy the very sight of this place, not the first time Mick and I have been here." He tries to lean onto the truck, but he misses and falls. "I'm alright."

(Later, Krispy Kreme.)

They all enjoy the donuts they have there and he drinks.

"Oh man! These donuts are so delicious!" said Mazzy as she eats her double glaze. "I have never tried anything like this!"

"This sure beats the Royal Woods mall and their donuts!" said Sully and then he drinks his shake. "You think they should open up one at our home town?"

"They definitely should" said Tabby as she eats a chocolate filling. "I don't think I can ever get over these things."

Luna then sees some kids go over to Lincoln and Jordan. "Dudes, I think you guys got some fans." Lincoln and Jordan see the three nine year olds and they were wearing an eagle cap that looked like their silhouette on them.

"Mr. Lincoln, Ms. Jordan, can we have your autographs please?" asked one of the kids.

Lincoln and Jordan smile. "Sure thing kids" replied Jordan. They both grab their notebooks and they sign them.

"So, where are your eagles? Are they here?" asked the little girl.

"No, no their not. They're back home with their chicks" replied Jordan as she signs the next notebook.

"They have babies?" asked one of the kids.

"They do, and since their parents they have to put their chicks as the one thing that's important to them" replied Lincoln. "We understand that and sooner or later they will learn how to fly." Lincoln and Jordan then hand them the notebooks.

"Thank you Mr. Lincoln and Ms. Jordan" said the kids. "We hope you guys can be in the big eagle contest again." They then race off back to their parents.

Lincoln and Jordan wave goodbye to the three kids. "They were so sweet, it feels nice to make kids like them happy" replied Jordan as she goes back to her donut.

"Wherever we go there are bound to be some people and kids who knows who we are and what we did" replied Lincoln, he then eats his donut. "Let's hope we don't get mobbed."

Sam then looks out the window. "We should go, like now!" They all look out the window and see the three kids talking to some folks who also seem like fans of the eagle contest and also some of the people have some shirts about the Luna-Tics. "We got fans incoming!"

Luna and Chunk split the pay and out the cash onto the table. "We are out of here now!" said Chunk. They stagger out of their seats and run for it, though Chunk goes back and he grabs all of their unfinished donuts. "Can't let these little guys go to waste now."

The people in the donut shop also realize who they are and they also wanna ask them some stuff.

Chunk gets into his van with their food, Sam gets into her car and Sully grabs Tabby and Mazzy and toss them into Sam's car. "What the heck man?!"

Luna opens the doors and she lets Lincoln and Jordan get in first, then she slides over her hood and she gets into the driver's seat and they race off before the fans overcrowd them. They all sigh in relief.

"Way too close guys!" said Sam. They set their phones to speaker mode so they can hear each other from their rides.

"What the heck?! How on earth do they know?!" asked Tabby. "I mean they would recognize Lincoln and Jordan for sure, but how do they know about all of us and the songs?!"

"They may have heard about the whole gig from Indiana, a lot of people there must've been recording and posting all of them online for the other peeps to see and perhaps some bloke must have found out we were headed her to Cleveland" replied Chunk. "That was intense."

"Jeez! Out first gig on tour and we got fans coming in at us like as warm of hungry bees!" said Sully.

"I guess that makes us the flowers they wanna go to." Mazzy realizes what she just said. "Okay, that sounded wrong."

Luna looks to Lincoln and Jordan. "You dudes alright back there?"

"We're fine Luna, a bit of a rush, but alright" replied Jordan. "Wow! That was like one of those video games where you get chased!"

"Only those weren't zombies, they were fans who want our autographs" replied Lincoln. "We gotta be careful the next time we go out for a time at the town."

"Noted on that one baby bro, things just escalated way above 11" replied Luna. The others also agreed, they needed to tell this to Mick Swagger and Kurt.

"At least I got the food we didn't finish" replied Chunk. He then checks the time. "It's past 12 and we haven't even had fun all together, now I see why we have to stick together and not split up."

"You think we should use something else to go around and have at the town?" asked Sully.

"Right, you think Kurt and Mick would let us use a tank?" replied Mazzy sarcastically. "Because I don't think they even have one of would even let us use one."

Lincoln then has an idea, but he decides to wait until the next state they go to.

(Later First Energy Stadium.)

Mick and Kurt are a bit shocked. "So, you lot almost got ravaged by fans out there?" asked Mick, they all nod to him. "Wow! That is insane and they knew you were coming, chances they might know where we're headed off to next."

"I am going to have a talk with our staff and some of the roadies to see which one of them tipped off the fans" said Kurt. "Sorry you guys almost got caught in that, the last thing I do not wanna see is one of you ending up in the hospital. Still, glad you all made it back in one piece." He then sees what they were eating. "And it looks like you guys are enjoying the donuts, nice."

"Yeah, we had to grab our food and go before we became food for the fans" replied Mazzy, then she realized what she just said. "Okay, so that was not right to say."

"As long as you're all fine, then that's alright with me" said Mick. "You lot can spend some time looking around the place or going through some last minute stuff."

"Thanks Mick, we are so going to stick to being either here in the stadium or back in the tour bus" replied Sam. "I think I'm gonna go and call my family to see how they were doing." Sam then heads back to the tour bus.

"Still, would be nice if we could go out to the town and see the place" replied Tabby.

Mick Swagger has an idea and looks to Luna. "Luna, do you recall when you first met me? When I was wearing a disguise? During the whole incident at the Family Musical Fun Fare?"

Luna then understands. "You want us to out on some disguises so we don't get recognized and we can have some fun around the town! That does sound pretty rad!"

"That sounds like a smashing plan there guv, we could put on some outfits and wigs to match us so we don't get caught by the fans" said Chunk.

"Exactly mates" said Mick. "Our next tour is going to be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I got me some clothes and other stuff that could work for some of you."

"I got a feeling we're going to do a whole lot of hidden plans when we get to the rest of the tours" chuckled Jordan.

"Believe me, Mick wore the most ridiculous disguise that no one wanted to go anywhere near him" chuckled Kurt. "That's what you get for dressing up as a crazy person." Mick Swagger laughs nervously.

They all chuckle and start talking about what they might look like in disguises. But they are all unaware that someone is listening in on this and then sneaks away giggling.

(Skip, before the concert.)

Lincoln, Luna and Jordan turn on the laptop and they set it to split screen and they see both families.

"Lincoln! Luna! Jordan!"

"We missed you so much sweetie! We made sure your room was kept nice and tidy."

"Also, Ajax wants to say hello." Rick puts Ajax on screen and he barks.

"Oh! I missed you too baby! Mama misses you so much Ajax!" said Jordan as she looks to her dog.

"Things have been going pretty well over here for us guys, the Royal Woods Gazette is putting your advice article on hold and putting you on the front page."

"The whole town knows about you guys, from the intro of Lincoln and Jordan all the way to Luna and her band on stage. The restaurant has had so many guests who are all tourists who all wanna eat at the restaurant that the eagle champs go to."

"Bobby called earlier and told me that he saw you guys perform your songs from social media, and Ronnie Anne and Sid also wanted to say hi, you guys are literally becoming top celebrities"

"The gals also wanna say hi and the tourists also went to shop at Reiningers and we sold lots of eagle themed clothes, they were all requested by Mrs. Carmichael, it was a heck of a day for Me, Miguel and Fiona"

"I guess you guys become meme than you wanted and are now social beyond online than on stage! Hahahaha! Get it?"

"You guys are rocking it out there like champs! I hope you guys end up at a place where they had so much cool sports, also if you do then send me some pics!"

"We have been keeping things good around here, and I'm sure Liam told Tabby who told you guys what Lana is up to and I myself am doing my best to be the one to look after the little siblings, and it seems really nice to do this."

"You guys are becoming so famous! Sure wish I was there to show them how great I am. But they all would rather see you guys perform, to I'm proud of you, all of you."

"Many of the kids here in town all wanna know where you guys are, then they started asking if they can meet with you guys when you get home and many of them are kids me and Lola know from school."

"With all that is happening, it would appear you all should be cautious with the many fans who might wish to interact with you. But with the many fans following all of you, it could spiral into chaos and one of you might get hurt and require medical attention. Do not forget to call in backup from the Allied outpost and Peter Harris should something go wrong, they will not hesitate to send in whatever they have in their arsenal, or better yet get some heroic backup from Freezer Burn, I know you packed the emergency dimensional calling radio for them."

"Winky! Woona! Winky! Bun-Bun!" Lily waves Bun-Bun in front of her, which makes Lincoln smile. "I missed you too Lily, and make sure Bun-Bun is okay."

Luna smiles seeing this. "We missed you guys too and it looks like there's a lot of attention back home, sure wish we were there with you dudes, but we gotta keep the tour going and see how far we can go."

"Well, don't forget that plan of yours." said Rita. "If one of you is feeling stressed or something goes terribly wrong, then don't hesitate to come back home, okay?"

They decide not to tell them about the whole Lincoln almost getting out of the bus incident. "We know mom" replied Lincoln. Just then they hear some cheering and some intro words form Mick Swagger starting. "Looks like we're up for the intro!"

"We gotta go guys, we'll talk to you soon!" said Jordan.

"We understand darling, go out there and have fun!" said Jesse.

"And have each other's back, wherever you guys go might get too rough." said Rick.

"We'll keep posted onto any news from you guys and where you go, we literally are there to support you all the way." said Lori.

Lincoln, Luna and Jordan then say their goodbyes to them and then they turn off the laptop.

They head to the rest of the band and they see them all ready for this. "Looks like it's time for us to shine for the second time dudes!" said Luna, they all cheer with her. "Let's get out there and show them a heck of a good time!"

They then head out there with their instruments and get to making that sweet music.

Day 2, to the 7 day tour with Mick Swagger.

A/N: Looks like things are close into turning into stress and chaos, but thankfully it was under control, but soon things might not be so great. They have to be careful. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.

Date made: 6/5/20.
