Chapter 239
(New Jersey, MetLife Stadium.)
The band arrives and looks around the venue they're going to perform. "MetLife Stadium, this place has some good memories of mine" said Mick. "I've had a few run-ins with some other rock star legends here, I even paired up with Elton John too."
"Oh yeah, you guys teamed up for that Tarzan song and it was pretty wicked" replied Luna.
They looks to Lincoln and Jordan who seem familiar with this place. "I could only guess WWE has had some matches here as well" said Sam.
"They had, let it be Raw, Smackdown or a pay-per-view event" replied Lincoln. "Either way this place is going to be the next mark on the tour."
Tabby then pulls out her phone. "Alright mates, selfie with the next tour." They all gather together, even Chunk and Kurt and they all take a selfie in front of the MetLife stadium.
"Alright, well the gear will be brought inside and will all be set up, I think you all should check out the rest of New Jersey and see what it has to offer" said Kurt. "But be careful out there, we still got that creep stalker on the loose and who knows what he's going to do next."
"We know Kurt" said Jordan. "With Lincoln's plan we're bound to get that guy and take him down."
"I wish I could tag along with ya mates, but I need to go and check on some things with my band" said Mick. "Someone has to come with you two to make sure you're safe."
"I'll handle it, seems like you're roadies are now getting the hang of setting up the Luna-Tics gear, so I'll go with the lot and keep an eye on them" replied Chunk.
"Spot on mate" said Mick. "Also, you kids might wanna check out a certain bakery that's world famous here. Carlos Bakery, there are a couple around this place and one is not too far."
"We'll keep that in mind Mick and we'll get you guys something while we're there" said Luna. They all get into the cars and van and they drive off.
Kurt and Mick look around the place. "That man could be anywhere and I hope Loud's plan will work. Otherwise we could be facing one hell of a disaster on this tour and for other's who might go on their own musical tours" said Kurt.
"Trust Lincoln, he knows what he's doing" said Mick. "His words woke up all the people who love my band, Luna's band and the spirit of the great American bald eagle contest, sure enough they'll be on our side and start their search for this monster who dares do this bloody treachery."
They spot some fans waving at them from a nearby pickup truck and they have binoculars and they drive off to follow Luna and the others. "Huh, I guess you're right" said Kurt. "What are the odds the fans are carrying weapons to hunt this guy down?"
"Then Luna and the gang sure have a massive body guard division by their side" replied Mick. "And that creeper should start running or better yet surrender, before he goes six feet under."
But they have no idea that someone is overhearing them and is now angry. 'I'm going to make sure I get that kid's attention, by going after the one thing he loves the most.' He then disappears from view.
(Carlos Bakery, the very first one.)
They look to the bakeshop and see how nice it looked. "Wow, looks like one of those old fashioned bakeries from the past, really fancy looking too" said Jordan.
"Alright then, let's see how great this place is" said Luna. "This time it's on me dudes."
"No need to do that one luv" said Chunk. "We can pay for our own orders, I still got some cash in me." Chunk checks his pockets. "Oh, I think I left my wallet back in the tour bus. Dang it."
"I got my wallet guys, we can just split the bill for whatever we buy from the place" said Lincoln. "I don't want you to constantly be the one paying for our food Luna, we're all in this together."
Luna smiles. "Okay, okay. Now let's get in there and see what baked goods are we looking at."
"You might wanna reconsider that option though" said Tabby. They all look to what she's pointing at they see the large group of people outside and inside of the bakery.
"Whoa! Does everyone in this town want a pastry so bad?" asked Sully. He then looks at how long the line is. "Dudes, this line is all the way across the street, well the other street not too far from here."
"Well, we came this far and there is no way we're turning this around!" said Mazzy. "Let's get it line! Also, the other businesses around here seem packed with people too and it would be ridiculous if we keep goin around town to look for another bakery like this one."
Jordan uses her phone. "Mazzy is not wrong, there are two more Carlos Bakery's and judging from these posts, they have the same long line as well. But there is one place where they do normal orders and that's the Carlos Bakery factory itself."
Lincoln thinks about it. "As fun as it would be to head there, let's not. I don't wanna be treated like a celebrity in this town, I'd rather be treated like any other normal guy and gal. Let's get in line before it gets bigger."
They all walk to where the line begins. "Weird bro, usually you're not one to be okay with long lines" said Luna. "Looks like growing up has made you kinda patient."
"Learn to embrace the things around you and just go with the flow, if you try and cut in then you're a no good person who doesn't respect others" replied Lincoln. "I have no clue where I got that idea from." They all chuckle at what he just said and they make it to the beginning of the line.
"Well, might as well pass the time then." Jordan pulls out her mp3 player and headphones and she shares them with Lincoln and they both enjoy listening to some music. Luna and Sam are also doing the same thing and so does Sully and Mazzy. Chunk goes through his phone and plays some Soda Crush.
But they have no clue that someone is watching them from atop a nearby building and he has binoculars and a camera and takes some pics of them enjoying themselves. He then looks to the pictures he got and grins. "Just need to wait for the right moment and then I'll take either Lincoln's lover Jordan Rosato or his smoking sister Luna Loud, then he'll have no choice but to come to me!" He then sees how long the line it. "This is gonna be a long while."
But then he takes cover when he sees a pickup truck stop and some fans from the Bald Eagle contest and the fans of the Luna-Tics arrive and they wait around and keep an eye out. "Dang it! I'll have to try when they're fans aren't around!" He then sneaks away and right before someone spots him.
(One long line later, which was 1 hour and 30 minutes.)
They finally made it into the bakery and they look upon the baked goods on display and they all looked delicious. "Alright guys, what are we craving for today?" asked Luna.
"I think I'm going for the lobster tail rolls" said Tabby. "They look good to eat."
"I'm going for some cookies, butter scotch and chocolate chip and also peanut butter" said Lincoln.
"Same, they look delicious" said Jordan. "And those brownies too."
"I am so jonesin' for some good old sweet American Apple pie, maybe instead of one slice I could just get the whole pie, to share with you guys" said Sam. They all liked that idea.
"Mazzy and I are going for some of those egg rolls" said Sully. Mazzy also points out to some of the cupcakes they have. "And maybe some cupcakes as well."
"I think I'll have me a slice of chocolate cake, or two" said Chunk. "My game didn't make things better in the line and now I am hungry."
"You got it dudes, I think I'll get all of us some cannoli's for takeout" said Luna. She then looks out the window and she sees the two pickup trucks with the fans who have been guarding them and Luna has an idea. 'Those guys have been nice keeping an eye on us while in line, I think they deserve something.'
Lincoln, Jordan, Sam, Tabby, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk wait by some seats for Luna to come back. Luna is ordering and talking to a woman named Maddie who is related to the man in charge of the place.
Lincoln looks to the poster on the wall and see the portrait of the family in front of the bakery and the name on it. "Huh, don't know what Cake Boss is, but I think when Clyde gets back from baking camp, I'll tell him."
"Must be some kind of new show about baking and they all look like one big happy family" said Jordan.
They do see the 3 women around the man who runs the joint. "What are the odds those are his sisters?" asked Tabby.
"Then chances he might know how I feel, they all seem so happy" said Lincoln. Lincoln then thinks about this Cake Boss. 'I think I'll look it up later.'
Chunk then asks. "Hey Linc and Rosato. Anything from last night after the concert? I know you two and Lunes have been video chatting with the fam in Royal Woods. So how are they feeling about this?"
"Well at first they didn't want us to go on with the tour and come home, but then we told them why we're gonna keep going and they're okay with it. They know that if we come back then we're endangering everyone again, so they wish us good luck and be safe while we take that stalker down" replied Lincoln.
"My godfather said he's going to send some troops to our next venue after New Jersey. So we might be good when we get to Delaware" replied Jordan. "A dang shame we can't make it to Florida, I thought we might run into Joy and Lance there, but I guess Luna will have to perform her new song on the next venue instead."
"Let's hope that creep can be caught soon, otherwise we're not going to be able to shove off on home" said Sully.
"We'll get him guys, he can't stay hidden forever" said Mazzy. That one they all agree on.
Soon, Luna heads back to them with their boxed baked goods. "Here you go dudes, we should eat this when we all get back to the MetLife stadium but first we gotta drop off some baked goods to some good friends out there." They all look outside and see the fans on the pickup truck. Then they see the four large boxes with Luna.
"Now that sounds like a smashin' idea Lunes" said Tabby. They all head out of the bakery and go to the 2 pickup trucks and towards their fans.
"Hey guys!" the fans all look to Luna and the band coming towards them and she hands them the two boxes. "Her you go guys, on us."
"Consider it as a thanks for watching over us and supporting what we're doing with that stalker on the loose" replied Lincoln. They open the two boxes and they see inside is some chocolate and vanilla cake and the other two boxes had a lot of cannoli's. They were all thankful for this and wave good bye to them as they head back to their cars.
Then Lincoln recalls what Mick Swagger gave him last night and he goes back and see there are 10 people amongst the fans and he hands them something. "See you guys tonight at the show."
They are shocked to see that got backstage VIP passes for the show tonight, this made them cheer and scream with joy and Lincoln chuckles as he goes back to Luna's car with the others in the other rides.
Luna and Jordan smile at Lincoln for what he did. "That was mighty nice of you little brother."
"Well, I thought they deserved a little something more and this is what I could give those guys, ten backstage passes" replied Lincoln. "Also, they might be there to keep an eye on things in case that creep ever shows up, that's how this plan is going in motion and it is looking good."
Jordan leans onto Lincoln. "The man with the plan at his works, good job handsome." She kisses his cheek and they drive off back to the stadium with their fans not too far behind.
The stalker from above the building sees this and is enraged. 'What?! They get backstage passes?! Are you kidding me? Why do they get one?! They don't know about Lincoln and Jordan! They don't know what they have fought and been through! This is crazy!' He then calms down and uses the nearby ladder to get down from the building's roof. 'Tonight, I make my move!'
He then walks away from the alley but he trips and falls onto some dog poop. "Gross!"
(MetLife stadium.)
The band arrives and they head off to greet Mick Swagger and his manager. "Hey, you guys are back and with no news about that creep" said Kurt. He then sees the fans get out of the trucks and go to them. "And who are these guys?"
Lincoln was about to say something but then he forgot and looks to the fans. "Who are you guys again? Sorry, it's just we haven't been acquainted yet."
The ten fans introduce themselves.

Lincoln and the others were impressed with this group of friends. "Well, it's good to have you guys here at the MetLife stadium."
"Oh my gosh! We actually here with the band and the eagle winners and Mick Swagger!" said Zoey in excitement.
"Calm down Zoey, remember the last time you got this excited?" said Christopher. "The big beach party last week? With the many, many tequila shots? "
"Oh yeah, that big party we all had" said Elizabeth. "That was the one party none of us will ever forget."
"The one party we were actually allowed to bring our bikes" said Harry. "And also the only time I got to use the fireworks cannon. Good times." He high fives with his sister.
Kurt then checks his watch. "Well, you all got two hours before the concert begins, so I suggest you guys get enjoy what you guys got and double check on the songs. Also, to you fans you can chill with the band just don't do anything stupid."
"No need to worry sir, we will not be doing any form of stupidity" said Joel.
"We'll also keep an eye out for that creep of a stalker if he shows himself" replied James.
Mick chuckles. "Looks like we got ourselves some hardcore devoted fans, nice to see you lot helping track down that maniac whose been doing nothing but cause trouble."
Thomas then checks his watch. "Well, as much fun as it is hanging out with you guys, I gotta get back to my taco truck and see how things are going."
"What? Are you sure you can't stay and hang out man?" asked Douglas.
"Sorry, but I need to see how my crew are handling it, chances we might have a long line waiting" Thomas then heads for the parking lot. But then he goes back for his slice of cake and two cannoli's. "I'll be back later for the concert." And he's gone.
"Well, we should get back to the tour bus and rehearse our songs" said Luna. "You guys can tag along and watch us rehearse, we're all friends here."
"Awesome! I've never been in a tour bus before! This is so going checked off my bucket list!" said Roderick.
"I heard they might be advanced and I wanna know how advanced they are!" said Angelina.
Sully chuckles. "Well, you guys are in for one heck of a surprise!" They all head towards the tour bus.
Then Sam looks to James and Joel who are looking around. "You two are twins, so who's the eldest?"
"He is" The Scott's twins both reply in unison and point to each other. The others are confused by what they just said.
"Believe me Sam, we have no clue whose born first either" replied Christopher. "Ya'll should've seen their Halloween pictures, they are creepy."
"Hey man, we are not creepy" replied the Scott's twins.
Lincoln chuckles. 'These guys are way different than Lola and Lana.' He then looks to Zoey. "So, you dyed your hair? Is it to be similar to me?"
"No, not really" replied Zoey. "I dyed this hair long ago, I'm actually a blonde and I did this because I am a total anime fan. People with white hair are cool and awesome."
"Ain't that the dang truth" Jordan kisses Lincoln on his cheek and this makes them both chuckle and head to the bus. They all enjoy some food, music and some good talks.
Unknown to them the stalker is sneaking into the backstage and is hiding in the shadows.
(15 minutes till concert time.)
Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Tabby are all standing by and ready to rock and roll. Mick Swagger is still in his dressing room and will be out in a few minutes, Chunk stands by and makes sure the sounds are doing good, the sound guy is given a break and Kurt goes through the number of people who have arrived and checks on security and waiting with the band are the ten fans and they're all on stand by watching over them.
"Alright, this is it guys. We're ready to show New Jersey just how awesome we can be!" said Tabby.
Luna is listening to some music to pass the time, but then feels something. "Hang tight guys, I gotta go and use the restroom, be right back." She races off to the ladies room.
"She still has ten minutes" said Lincoln. But he can't shake the feeling something is wrong.
(Rest rooms.)
Luna is in one of the stalls and is humming to a song on her headphones. But someone enters the ladies restroom and slowly goes to the stall. 'Time for me to strike!' But he gets hit face first when Luna opens the door. She doesn't even see him.
Luna has her eyes closed and is grooving to the beats of the song, the stalker tries to get her, but Luna kicks him in the gut and he goes down to his knees.
Luna then dances her way to the sink and she washes her hands. "Please don't stop the music."
She doesn't see the stalker behind her and she raises her fists behind her and she punches him and he's down. Luna still has her eyes closed and dries her hands.
The man gets up again only to be kicked in the groin from Luna's dancing and he holds onto his tenders and goes down. Luna then leaps over him and exits the rest room.
The man then slowly gets up. 'Maybe, maybe I'll just …. Just do it, next time. I think I need …. An ice pack, like a lot!' He then slowly crawls out of the women's restroom and leaves the stadium, but when he leaves the stadium he gets hit by a truck delivering some pastries. A Carlos Bakery Truck.
Two employees come out and they send in some cannolis and other baked goods into the stadium, courtesy of Luna Loud.
The Stalker gets up. "What else can go wrong?" He just had to say it. He slips on a puddle and he hits the side of a taco food truck and some of the meat sauce gets onto him. "Oh what?"
Then he hears some growling and he spots some dogs. "Nice dogs! Don't hurt me!" He runs off as the dogs take chase. The employee of the food truck turns around and sees no one, but he does see the meat sauce has been spilled.
Luna then returns back to the others. "Alright dudes! Let's do this!"
"Yeah!" They all get on stage and they rock it they're all alongside Mick and with their fans watching them from the backstage and cheering them on, they're hoping that one day they'll meet. They know the band won't stay in Jersey for long.
Day 5, to the 7 day tour with Mick Swagger
A/N: I hope you all liked this, and I did my best to make the OC fans of the band and Lincoln and Luna, and I hope you all liked the silly beat downs the stalker got, but things might not be so good when he comes back and tries it again. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
