Chapter 242
(Outside of Michigan.)
The whole gang is making their way back to Royal Woods, but they have to pass by through lots of other towns before they can get there. They all look out the window and they have just entered the tenth town and they see some people with signs and cheering their names.
"Looks like everyone in Michigan is happy we're back" said Mazzy. "Though those signs seem to be for Lincoln only." She's not wrong, most of the signs say. "Welcome home Lincoln Loud, the kid who flies with the eagle." They do see some signs for the band Luna-Tics and some for Jordan.
"I guess someone is more popular than any of us." Jordan scooches closer to Lincoln. "Anything else to say Mr. Eagle champ?"
Lincoln doesn't respond and just looks to everyone who is happy to see him. "This isn't what I was expecting, I mean sure I did recover but this is about the band and I don't see much signs that stand for all of us, except that one." They see a large group of people carrying a large sign that has a screenshot image of them on stage with Mick Swagger in New York.
"It's cool mate, what matters is that we're back in Michigan and we can all get back home, relax and just spend the rest of the summer in piece" said Tabby.
"Yo Chunk!" yelled Sully. "When are we making the next stop? We could use something more roadside for breakfast."
"Just hang on there guv, we're inbound to a nearby truck stop a few miles out of town" replied Chunk. "Seems like the cops don't wanna stop us when we're speeding, so let's rock it." He floors it and the bus picks up some speed and they make their way to the next truck stop out of town.
"Sure is nice of Mick to let us keep the bus and the trailer too" replied Sam. Attached to the back of the bus is a trailer with Chunk's Van, Luna's Purple Ferrari and Sam's Blue Impala Low rider. "What should we do with this bus anyway? Not like we can use this to tour around town to our gigs. Can we?"
"Does sound kinda cool, makes us feel kinda famous or something" replied Mazzy. "What about you Chunk?"
"As cool as this bus is and all, I think we should use it for when we need the big thing for hauling stuff that can't fit me van" replied Chunk, he then looks to them through the rear view mirror. "What about it Lunes? Any thoughts?" they all see Luna not responding and just sitting close to her brother, even Lincoln notices this.
"Luna? You feeling okay sis?" Luna doesn't respond and just look to her brother and sees he might be sore from his injury. She uses her free arm to pull him close into a hug. They can all tell she's still troubled after all that has happened, Jordan also feels the same and snuggles with them.
Sam then asks. "Luna, any thoughts babe?"
Luna's eyes remain closed as she hugs Lincoln, and then hugs Jordan. "Yeah, let's go with Chunk's idea or something, whatever." Luna continues to hug both 12 year olds and not let them go. Legal Guardian mode is now active and set to sensitive emotional issues.
They all decide to remain silent and watch the people outside cheer for them for their return back to Michigan.
Lincoln then looks to his sister. "Luna, it's gonna be alright. We're safe now and that guy is no longer with us, so you can calm down now and just be yourself. I'm okay, I promise I am."
Luna breaks the hug with her brother and she looks to him. "Are you still kinda sore little brother?"
"Yeah, I guess so. But not that much, unless I move around to my left side or try and look to the left by moving my whole body" replied Lincoln. "Though as the doctor also said that I cannot sleep on my left side, otherwise it might get more than just sore."
Lincoln then looks to Luna and sees some tears on her. "Luna, you okay?"
Luna then hugs him once again and closes her eyes. "Lincoln, I'm so sorry you have to go through this pain for the next few days, I wish I could take the pain away and you could be your normal and happy self. I don't know what to do anymore my little baby bro!" Luna then kisses his forehead and continues to hug him close to her.
Lincoln could tell that even though Luna felt better yesterday, this is the next day Luna, the Luna who is feeling guilty and miserable for what happened to Lincoln yesterday or the day before yesterday. Lincoln has been seeing this pattern within Luna whenever something happens to either himself, to Jordan or to the other members in the family.
Jordan also sheds some tears and joins in on the hug again, she places a kiss onto Lincoln's cheek and closes her eyes and she hugs her boyfriend tightly. "Things have gotten worse for all of us Linc, Luna and I will do whatever we can to make you feel better again."
Lincoln also knows this is another side to his girlfriend, her caring nurse side. Seems normal. "I guess I'll be spending the next few days with the two of you constantly checking up on me for any further problems right? Like nurses? Nurse Jordan and Doctor Luna?" Lincoln chuckles slightly at that.
Luna and Jordan also chuckle hearing that, they then look onto Lincoln, all of them with smiles on their faces. Luna strokes aside his white hair and fixes it. "We're doing this because we love you Lincoln, Jordan's devotional love for her boyfriend and my siblings bonded love for you baby bro."
Lincoln smiles and he hugs Luna this time. "You always know what to say, your words and Jordan's know how to make me feel like I shouldn't feel too much pity onto myself and just go with the help I got, the help I got from the loveliest girl I have ever met and to the best rockin sister/guardian I have ever had." He then gives Jordan a quick kiss on the lips and he kisses Luna's cheek. "I love you guys so much."
Jordan and Luna are touched by this and they join in the hug. "We love you so much too Lincoln, always."
The others see how sweet this was that all three of them are sharing this moment and take some pics. Sam smiles at this bond all three of them share, she shares a bond with them as well, though her sibling bond will always be with her little brother Simon. 'Maybe I should spend some big sis and some little bro time when we get back, I kinda miss my little brother.'
Tabby takes some pics and he makes sure the louds and Rosato's get them.
(Chomp, Fuel and Sleep Truck Stop, not too far from Hazeltucky.)
The bus parks nearby and they all get off the vehicle and they head inside, they see the inside of this place seems closely similar to that of a diner back home, and not many people either. "Looks like business is slow today for these dudes" said Luna.
They all get to a booth and a waitress comes to them and she takes their orders from the menu they were given. They all decide to go with the breakfast special.
"So, what do we do when we get back home?" asked Jordan. "Do we give them a show like what Linc, Lunes and I did when we came back home from the Bald Eagle contest?"
They all think about it, so they all look to Lincoln. "What? What are you guys looking at me for?"
"We wanna know what you think Lincoln" replied Sam. "This is technically your big comeback and recovery from the hospital and a lot of people will be waiting for your return once we reach your house."
"Yeah, so what's the plan guv?" asked Chunk.
Lincoln thinks. "Well, making a big musical performance does sound kinda cool. What the heck? Let's go for it! But we're gonna need some kind of epic song to make it all happen, a song that can show everyone heck we're back in town!"
"What kind fo song would that be baby bro?" asked Luna. They all think of a song that could be good for a comeback song.
Lincoln then looks around the diner, but he sees nothing that could go well for their comeback song. But then he looks to his phone and he gets a message. He sees two text messages, one from Simon and another from Stella.
"We heard about what happened to you and Luna, we are so glad you're okay man. When are you coming back Linc?"
"Dude that must have been so terrifying to go through, you have fought through so much trouble but that was insane! We hope we can see you guys again soon when you get back home."
Lincoln then gets a text from Liam. "Lincoln! You feeling alright buddy? Tabby told me that you got shot, lost a lot of blood and your big sister donated some for ya, what's going on? And I hope you come back soon, see you at your place buddy."
Lincoln smiles and he looks back to the text messages from them. 'When – Can – I –see ..! ' And he figured it out. "Guys." they all look to Lincoln. "I just got an idea for the song."
Just then they're food arrives. "Let's talk about it while we're eating okay dudes" said Luna. "We're gonna need some energy if we're gonna go with little bro's song."
They all agree and start eating, and just as they continue with their breakfast specials. They hear some helicopter sounds. They all look outside and they spot some Cryocopters and Twinblade Gunships flying around the truck stop. Looks like they got some company.
Then they spot something that could work, A Harbinger Gunship and onboard is Peter Harris. This gives Lincoln an idea. "Oh yeah, this could work! This is going to ding dang work!" They all smile hearing that, Lincoln's got a plan that could make their comeback song bigger than they're concerts on tour.
(The Loud House, Royal Woods.)
A lot of people have arrived and are waiting for the Luna-Tics, with Lincoln, Jordan and Tabby to come back. They all got the message that they are inbound and a military escort is headed towards them as well.
Let's do a head count and see who are the people waiting for them, you ready?
Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn Junior, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, Lily, Lynn Sr, Rita, Rick, Jesse, Pop-pop, Gran-gran, Charles, Cliff, Geo, Walt's, Della, , Ajax, Patriot, Valkyrie and they're chicks Harrier, Artemis and Freya, Liam, Stella, Simon and his parents Reginald and Amy Sharp, Haiku, Jenny and Kathrine Mulligan with a camera man and news crew, Mayor Davis, Officer Schoffner, Miguel, Fiona, Dana, Becky, Carol, Whitney, Teri, Darcy, Spencer, Ruby, Principal Huggins, Principal Rivers, Oliver, Coach Keck, Adrien and Mr. Grouse. Talk about a big crowd, oh and some random people who happen to be fans of theirs.
"So, when are they coming back?! I wanna know!" said Lana.
"I hope Linc is doing okay, I don't want him to get hurt whenever he plays with us" said Lola.
"I must check on his conditions to ensure that there isn't any constant extra pains he may have received" said Lisa. "I don't know if the doctors at Delaware even made sure he is truly patched up."
"If not, then we'll patch him up" said Luan. "We'll patch up some things that need to be mended with some good old laughs and family hugs!"
"Sure wish I could've been there to beat the living stuffing's out of that creep!" said Lynn Jr.
"Be greatful that Sam defiled his body with more than a bat bludgeon, I doubt his ghost will ever find peace or even be free from his personal torment" said Lucy.
"Seeing big sis just do that to the guys corpse with the bat is the scariest thing I have ever seen" said Simon. Even Reginald and Amelia couldn't believe their daughter Sam could be so aggressive even to a dead body. She is brutal and dangerous, like a Mortal Kombat character.
"Sam should be part of a horror movie, or a slasher movie" said Stella. "Sure as heck I would wanna see how menacing she can be than Leatherface or Michael Myers."
"Whew Winky?" asked Lily, she hugs tightly onto Bun-Bun. Rita hugs her baby daughter close to her. "Let's be patient Lily, your big brother is coming, just you wait and see."
"I wanna see how Linky is doing, I wanna know if he's doing alright after what happened" said Leni with concern, she then checks her phone for any messages.
"Let's be patient guys, let them take their time." Lori also checks her phone. "Though, there really isn't any much traffic, they should've been here by now."
"She's not wrong" said Mayor Davis. "I told Officer Schoffner to clear a path for them to come back home, there isn't any traffic going around town. Everyone wants to know how Royal Woods finest are doing after their long tour."
"Then where the heck are they now?" asked Lynn Sr.
Liam spots something. "Look!" they all look up and spot the Harbinger Gunship flying around.
"Peter said he was going to be in one when he goes and looks for their tour bus" said Rick.
"Which means they're not too far!" said Jesse. "Their coming home now!"
They then stop and hear something. "This just in, does anyone hear that sound?" asked Kathrine Mulligan. The camera man looks to the large plane and so do the others.
"It's coming from the plane" said Jenny. They see that the Harbinger Gunship has a large megaphone attached to it. Which is causing the music their hearing, which sounds kinda tranquil.
Rick smiles. "Oh, I see what they're doing." He then looks to the road to the right. "They're coming in for a heck of an intro."
They then hear the sound of Lincoln's voice, along with Jordan and Luna in it.
When can we do this again?

Lincoln: Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you.

Lincoln: So let me know before I wave good bye.
(The tour bus arrives with the trailer of their cars and on top is Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam, Tabby, Sully and Mazzy with their instruments and signing.)
Lincoln, Luna and Jordan: When I see you again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
When we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
When I see you again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
When we do this again?

Lincoln: Tell me when.
Lincoln, Jordan and Luna: When can I see you again?
When can I see you again?
Lincoln: Tell me when.
All: When can I see you again?!
Everyone cheers at their performance/comeback to home. All of them cheer their names and they all take a bow at what they did. "We're back home people!" yelled Luna, and they all cheer loudly.
Tabby looks to Luna, Luna nods. "Go for it Tabs. This one is all on you." the others also agree.
Tabby smiles and looks to the crowd. "Stage dive!" she jumps off the bus and they all catch her, though she lands onto Liam who catches her and they share a passionate kiss. "I am so glad I came back home."
Lincoln and the others chuckle at this and they get down and get hugged by the whole family. All of them sharing their words of worry and congratulations on their great tour, even Jordan's parents are happy for her to be back home, same goes with Sam and her little brother and parents.
Patriot and Valkyrie fly to the two kids and they let them sit onto their shoulders. "It's good to see you guys too." Lincoln and Jordan pet their eagles and then look to the happy chicks, they missed them as well and so did the pets.
The rest of their friends (not much) also go to them and rejoice for the return of the band and Lincoln's recovery.
"Alright everyone! Party at the Restaurant!" said Lynn Sr. "All free for the day!" They all cheer and get to their rides and the tour bus and they make their way to the restaurant known as Lynn's Table.
In the tour bus all the louds look around the place and are amazed at the whole bus and what it can do, luckily the Rosato, Sharp and Loud parents make sure they don't do anything to damage the thing, it doesn't belong to them it belongs to Luna and her band.
Lincoln, Luna, Jordan and Sam are sitting next to each other watching this. They had a hell of a run with the tour and what they have been through and now they're just happy to be back with the family and friends they have.
(Skip, Nighttime.)
Lincoln lies in bed, well onto his right side and not to his left otherwise it's going to be a painful wake up. With him is his girlfriend Jordan Rosato, fast asleep and hugging him from behind and Lincoln sees Luna asleep in front of him.
He's pretty much sandwiched into a hug so that he doesn't move around and hurt himself, but he didn't mind. Lincoln kisses Luna's cheek and closes his eyes. 'Musical tour over, Day 1 of being nursed to health by Luna and Jordan has just begun.'
Tomorrow was a new day, to their comeback from tour and more adventures to come for them for the rest of the summer. So who knows what could happen next.
A/N: Welcome back Lincoln, Luna, Jordan, Sam, Tabby, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk. Royal Woods is glad their home and happy for Lincoln out of the hospital and back on his feet once again, but this is just the start of some fresh new adventures to come for all of them. Summer is here and they are ready to take it on! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
