Chapter 267
In collaboration with Vasmasdas1.
(Hailsbrew Apartment.)
All of the loud sisters are having breakfast in the apartment room of Lori and Leni, though Luna and Jordan aren't with them. "You guys think Linky is okay?" asked Lola.
"After what he encountered yesterday at the Great Lake City zoo. I do believe he is conflicted and trying to see if he can handle how the day goes for him, for that is all I know" replied Lisa.
"Sigh, Lisa's right. This happens with Lincoln. He gets a traumatic and unruly experience, but in the end he wants to see if he can overcome this and make things as it was as before" replied Lucy.
"It is admirable" said Lynn. "He's strong in his own way and does his best to show us he can be alright. Luna and Jordan are probably talking to him right now about all of this."
"I wonder what they're talking about" said Lana. They all look to the door that leads to the main hallway, all of them felt like they should be there for Lincoln. But right now, the ones who should be there are the ones who have encountered what he did, memories of the beach hotel and resort.
In the other apartment room. Lincoln is on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate and leaning to his left is Jordan who is holding onto his left arm and then Luna arrives and places bowls of cereal for them to eat. Luna then strokes her brother's hair. "You didn't have any more nightmares last night did you?"
Lincoln sighs. "After you comforted me, I didn't get anymore. I'm feeling fine now, I guess."
Jordan then looks to Lincoln and kisses his cheek. "We can just spend a whole day indoors, I don't mind and I know Luna will be here too." Jordan then eats her cereal.
"True to that, so how about it little brother? Wanna just spend one whole day in here at Casa Hailsbrew?" asked Luna. She then eats some cereal.
Lincoln thinks about this. "I wanna go and visit the Casagrandes home." Luna and Jordan spit out their food and look to Lincoln in shock. "What?!"
"I just wanna see how things are doing now, and I wanna know what they have to say to me after all of that. I know it wasn't their fault, we just didn't know they had a sh … Sh …. Ocean exhibit" said Lincoln. "I wanna see how their handling things now."
Luna and Jordan knew this might happen, Lincoln does this. He wants to show them that he can get over what happened from the day before, but it would take something else to make him break down once again sop they have to be ready.
"Okay Lincoln, if you think you can handle it then we're all in on the plan of yours bro" said Luna. She then hugs her brother.
Jordan also joins in the hug. "If you're not feeling well anymore, then we'll go back here and spend the rest of our time together." Lincoln sighs and he hugs them back, he wants to see this through and be the happy kid they all know and love.
(An hour later.)
All of the louds and Jordan make their way out of the apartment. Lincoln then whistles and Patriot, Valkyrie with their chicks come down and so do their pets who all get into Lori's car,
"Lincoln, you know something might happen right?" asked Luan. "Even though you said you wanna get through with this day and go see the Casagrandes. Something is bound to happen."
"I know, I know." Lincoln strokes Patriot and pets Harrier. "But I know that with the best sisters, my guardian and Jordan. We can face it and I'll try and be strong, even if it means showing some weakness."
They all smiled hearing that. "That's dang nice of you to say bro" said Lynn. "Strong in your own way, good job Lincoln. Now come on, let's go and see what the Casa-G's are up to."
"Hang on!" said Lincoln, "Lisa, do it!"
Lisa then pushes a button and they hear a panicked squawk and see some badly burnt pigeons fly off the building's roof and then Sergio lands in front of them, he too is badly burnt. "Well, well. Look who thought it was a good idea to take advantage of what the nice people have been giving to Patriot and Valkyrie" said Jordan.
Sergio chuckles nervously. "Rawrk, umm." He tries to fly off, but then Luna grabs him and ties him up with rope. "You're not going anywhere you maniacal bird!"
Lori then ties up his beak. "Wait till the Casagrandes see you now!" All of them look to the parrot sternly. "Let's go guys." They then head into the vehicles and drive off.
Sergio is being placed into a bag right next to Lucy with Lincoln, Jordan and the eagles in Luna's car. "When we get there, Sergio is in deep trouble and we got all the proof to show them" said Lucy. Sergio panics and tries to get free, but he can't.
(Casagrande Apartment.)
Hector is on the couch sleeping, Lalo is playing with Carlitos and so is CJ, Carlota looks through her laptop on anything from her recent fashion blog, Maria is there and reading, Frida and Carlos are both talking about what they did at work, Rosa is making them food, as usual and Carl is in his room playing with his toy train, and obviously Bobby is manning the Mercado.
Outside, Ronnie Anne and Sid are sitting by the steps eating hotdogs with their skate boards next to them. "You think Lincoln's okay?" asked Sid.
Ronnie Anne sighs. "No clue, Jordan hasn't responded to the texts and neither has Lincoln. I don't even know what we're gonna do for the rest of the week. He's pretty much scarred!"
Sid looks down with sadness. "My mom isn't faring well too. Having to close the zoo for the day after what happened is not going well for her and Adelaide. We should've told them about the new Ocean Exhibit instead of making it a surprise."
Ronnie Anne scooches closer to Sid, she gives her a small kiss on the cheek and puts her arm around her. "We'll see what happens next Sid, we don't know whose fault was this. This was all just some unexpected series of bad events."
"That part is true." Ronnie Anne and Sid look to see Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Lori, and Leni carrying Lily. Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, Patriot, Valkyrie and the other pets. "Hey guys."
"What the?! Lincoln, what the heck are you doing here?" asked Ronnie Anne in shock. "I thought you were staying all day at the apartment?" Sid gets nervous and she stays behind Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln goes towards them, and he holds Sid's hands and pulls her away from Ronnie Anne. "Lincoln, I am so, so, so sorry for what happened! We promise it won't happen again! My mom is going to have the ocean exhibit removed! We're so, so sorry!" Sid sheds tears and looks away.
Lincoln then let's go of her hands and makes her face him. "Sid, look at me." Sid opens her eyes and still sheds tears. "This wasn't anyone's fault and I'm not angry with you or your mom or to anyone. This was no one's fault, like Ronnie Anne said. A bunch of unexpected bad events took place and made thing's what they are now."
Sid calms down. "B-But, you're not m-mad? Or s-sad?"
"Slightly upset, but not angry" said Lincoln. "I came here with them to see what's been going on and to talk some things about what happened the day before. Let's go and see your family."
Sid nods and with Ronnie Anne and the others they head into the building. Sid whispers to Jordan. "Lincoln really is one thoughtful kinda guy, I respect his ability to … To see that no one is to blame for things. It's admirable."
Jordan sighs. "Yeah it is. Also, I can tell you have a slight liking for him."
Sid goes wide eyed. "What? No, no. I have Ronnie Anne, remember? Why would I like a guy with White hair, a warm smile, a cool attitude, a forgiving persona and … Oh, wow. When did I have these feelings?"
Ronnie Anne whispers to them. "Since I told you all about him, you said you thought he was a cool dude and would wanna meet him one day and here he is now after all that talk and he's much more than you expected. I think we should talk about the whole slight crush thing later."
"I agree with Santiago on that one" replied Jordan.
Luna chuckles. "And I thought a bunch of teen girls with slight crushes on Lincoln was awkward enough."
Ronnie Anne and Sid are shocked and look to Luna. "What?" the louds sisters know as well, Luna told them what happened the spa at the Aloha Beach Resort and Hotel.
It did make Lori's mind blow knowing that, Leni kinda knew from the way her friends admire his charisma and courage and the others just giggle seeing their middle brother as a ladiesman. They just didn't tell their parents, yet.
A knock is heard from the door of the Casagrandes and Rosa opens it. "Ay! Dios mio, Lincoln and girls and Jordan! What are you all doing here?!" The rest of the family sees this.
"We thought you were going to spend a whole day at home?" asked Carlota.
"This doesn't seem like a good time to be out of your comfort zone mijo" said Frida.
"Dude, you should be resting. You could break down at any moment!" said Carl.
Maria goes to Lincoln to check on his condition after what she heard. "Are you feeling alright Lincoln? You don't seem to be sick or something"
"A phobia has to be treated with some time away and in comfort and this certainly is not the answer" said Tio Carlos.
"Is there something wrong with the apartment?" asked CJ. "There aren't any bad sea beasts there, I made sure of it." He holds his toy pirate sword up.
Lincoln then chuckles. "Guys, guys I'm alright. I just came here to talk to Mrs. Chang about what happened, that's all." They were all a bit relieved and now they know that Ronnie Anne is right. Lincoln does try to get through things after something bad has happened.
Hector looks to Lori. "Bobby is in the bodega, just so you should know."
"Thanks Hector, I'll go see him now. I think the rest of you should get comfortable and spend some time here" said Lori. Then she hands Rosa the moving bag. "And I believe this feathery trash is yours."
Rosa opens it and sees Sergio tied up. "Sergio! What is this?" She then unties him. "Rawrk! They took me hostage!"
"Actually we got these to show you." Lucy hands them the many pictures of Sergio and his pigeons and their attempts to take the Eagle house even with the nest of three chicks in there. "We also have full video evidence and we were attempting to show this to Mr. Scully too."
They all look to Sergio. Sergio tries to fly off, but Rosa grabs his tail and Lalo blocks the window. "Not so fast Sergio! I always knew you might do something wrong, so as of your punishment you are going to be spending the rest of the week in your bird cage and this time I am securing it tightly!"
Sergio is concerned about this. "What? But why?"
"For trying to bring harm to the eagle chicks and ruining the eagle house!" said Jordan. "That place is not for you, you half feather painted retarded recording machine!" They all go "Oh!" at what she just said.
"Sick burn!" said Carl.
"But I …. I …. I don't like those eagles! There I said it! I never liked them, they're big mean and scary!" said Sergio in anger.
"Patriot and Valkyrie are big and intimidating, but only if they're threatened or if anyone they know is being threatened and Sergio, you just made a terrible mistake with their chicks and us!" said Lincoln.
"I am so over parrots now!" said Lana.
Rosa then takes Sergio. "I will handle with him, the rest of you can get comfortable and enjoy yourselves and then I will be back to make my tamales for all of you to eat!" Rosa then walks off with Sergio.
"No! No! Let me go!" Sergio tries to break free. But Rosa has a tight grip and he's being send to the one thing Rosa didn't think she would have to use, the bad bird's cage. Don't know what that looks like.
"Well, I should go and check on Bobby" said Lori. She then looks to Lincoln. "And you should go and talk to the Chang's now."
"I know, and Luna and Jordan are welcome to tag along" replied Lincoln. Lincoln, Luna, Jordan, Sid and Ronnie Anne then head to the next floor where the Chang's reside.
Lori then looks to the others. "Stay here and enjoy yourselves and steer clear of Carl, got it?" They all nod and look to Carl sternly.
"What? Not like I was planning for you guys to come here so I can ask the things you all like or something" said Carl. Then he covers his mouth and he drops a soccer ball with a fake signed name.
Lynn's eye twitches. "Swindling me over a fake signed soccer ball huh? Nice try twerp!"
"Carl, go to your room. Now" said Frida. Carl grumbles and he walks to his room.
The loud sisters then go inside and they enjoy their fun stay there. Rosa does come back and she start to cook for all of them. 'I should make something especial for Lincoln and Jordan, something to make them feel better after yesterday!' Rosa unlocks the locked cabinet and grabs a box with the name "Special Spices."
Hector sees this. "You don't use those special spices much, are you making something good for all of us?"
"No, this is for Lincoln and Jordan to eat to ease their thoughts and also for Ronnie Anne and Sid. Now leave the kitchen so I may do my work." Rosa then gets to cooking.
Leni with Lily on her lap is talking to Carlota and she gives her some fashion advice from Royal Woods and Leni has agreed to be part of Carlota's next fashion and makeup blog, Lola and Lana are playing with CJ, Lisa is having some talk with Tio Carlos, Lucy accepts being a model for Frida's art called "Symphony of a little dark girl" and Lucy likes this and wants a cop of the portrait so she can bring it back home and Luna talks with Maria about what's been going on in Royal Woods, especially with sophomore level coming for Luan in high school, which she is nervous about.
Charles, Cliff and Geo relax and sleep onto Lalo, while Walt's and Della sit on the perch that Sergio uses.
(Chang's Apartment room.)
Becca opens the door and she sees Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Ronnie Anne and Sid and of course the eagles and their chicks. Becca sighs. "I knew you were coming, Meat ball saw you coming down the hall and signaled me." they see the iguana on the wall and then it crawls onto Sid and sits on her head. "Come on in guys, I know you wanna talk."
They enter the apartment room and sit on the couch, and also there is Adelaide who's looking sad. "Hi Lincoln." She then hugs him. "I'm sorry you have Galeophobia, I don't wanna say the S word to you."
Lincoln hugs her back and wipes away her tears. "Don't be sad Adelaide, you're not to blame here and neither are you Mrs. Chang. What happened was just a bad situation and my fear took in and I should've stayed oblivious and maybe it wouldn't have happened."
Becca sighs. "That's nice and all, but I still think I should get rid of the Ocean Exhibit and let the sea life go. So that this won't happen again."
"No, don't do that" replied Lincoln as he breaks from the hug with Adelaide. "A lot of other people would want to see it still, people like to see ocean life and so do i. I just have trouble seeing sharks up close and personal. On TV, then I'm okay with that. Please Mrs. Chang, do not get rid of the ocean exhibit just because of my new phobia. I don't wanna make a lot of kids and people unhappy that they can't see the sea life."
They're all shocked that Lincoln just said "Shark" But they know now that his phobia is sharks up close, not sharks name or even on TV. Luna has to be cautious if Lincoln sees a film with sharks in it though.
Becca can see how determined Lincoln is. "Alright then, I won't get rid of the Ocean Exhibit. But the next time you come by the zoo, we'll give you a map of the place so you won't get lost and you can be able to find another restroom." they all chuckle at that one.
Just then they all hear some pitter patter outside. Sid looks out the window. "Huh, it's raining. Did not see that one coming."
"Looks like we'll be hanging around here till the weather lightens up" said Luna.
Ronnie Anne has an idea. "Well, now that all of this has been fixed. You guys wanna hang at the hideout? No one has placed down if anyone wants to use it now."
"Sounds good to us" replied Lincoln and Jordan.
"I'm gonna go and make the call to the staff at the zoo." Becca goes to make the call.
"And I'm gonna go and see Lola and Lana, they might wanna play Princesses and Dragons" said Adelaide.
"They are playing with CJ" said Sid.
"Then we can add pirates into the mix too!" said Adelaide. She then leaves the room and heads to where the twins are.
They all chuckle watching the little Chang girl run off all happy. "Well, we should get to the basement" said Sid. "You wanna tag along Luna?"
"No, no. You dudes have your own hang out. I'm gonna go and see what the others are up to" replied Luna.
"It's okay Luna, we don't mind the extra company" said Ronnie Anne. "We know Lincoln and Jordan need the legal guardian to be there and we wanna know some more about what you guys did during your vacation besides the shark attack we now know from yesterday."
Luna smiles and she sees the combined pleading eyes from Lincoln, Jordan, Ronnie Anne and Sid. Luna chuckles. "Alright, alright. Put those guns away, I give already. Let's go then."
They then make their way to the basement so they can have some nice alone time and talk about something about what else they did at the Aloha Beach Resort and Hotel, though they will tell the juicy parts later when they all have lunch with the rest of the Casagrandes.
(A few hours later.)
The rain pours and Bobby and Lori close the Mercado for the day and they have umbrellas to get back to the apartment, they do see the cat gang run past them and hiding in an alley. That was way too close!
Soon, all the Casagrandes (except Sergio), the Changs and the Louds and Jordan are enjoying the lunch Rosa made for them.
"Wow! This Tamales and beef with rice mix is amazing!" said Lincoln. "Thought, why did you give me one big plate for the both of us?"
"Same here Abuela, what gives and is this the special spice you use that I can taste?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"Who cares? This stuff tastes amazing!" Sid continues to eat and so does Jordan. They have never tasted this kind of flavor before.
"Well, you two are such a nice couple, along with Ronnie Anne and Sid and so I thought I should use my especial spices to make things a bit more interesting" said Rosa.
"And where did these spices come from I might ask?" asked Lisa as she eats her burrito.
"My family has had it for a long, long time and they have travelled the world long ago and when I was at the right age, Hector and I went around the world so I may do the same thing and here it is now, served to Lincoln and Jordan and to Ronnie Anne and Sid, you four young Amores deserve it so much!" said Rosa.
"Gee, thank you so much Mrs. Casagrande and might I say you are one heck of a cook, or better yet you should let Gordon Ramsey know about this" said Jordan.
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly have a legend try out my cooking. That man is beyond my league" said Rosa.
"Jordan is serious Mrs. Casagrande, her dad is friends with Gordon Ramsey" replied Lincoln.
"And he unleashed holy hell when pops opened up the restaurant and made sure the rest of the sisters stopped their craziness" said Luna.
"Ugh! Don't remind us" said Lola. "That guys is scary." The other loud sister's also agree. Gordon Ramsey is a great chef, but his reputation precedes him to show he is truly "Hell's Kitchen!"
"Well, I guess it would be nice to have a great chef try my cooking" said Rosa. "You have yourself a deal Jordan. You are such a nice and resourceful girl."
"Thank you very much" replied Jordan. Carl is shocked, this girl has more ties with people and resources than he ever could, he was thinking of a way to get some of that, but he knows he'll be in big trouble if he does this.
"So, mind telling us more about this whole teens in the spa with a crush on Lincoln thing?" asked Sid.
They all spit and choke on their food. "What?!" Carl looks wide eyed at Lincoln and feels like fainting.
Lincoln chuckles. "Alright, but it got very wild when it all happened and it was all Jordan's idea."
"What can I say, I like seeing you nervous and you're cute after getting a barrage of kisses and cuddles from Carol, Dana, Becky, Jackie and Mandee" replied Jordan.
Carlota and Bobby know them, from the many parties and high school. "Tell us everything!" The Louds then tell them about the many things they did at Aloha Beach Resort and Hotel, including the WWE Pro-Wresters there.
Ronnie Anne and her family are now blown out of they're minds. "What?!"
Day 4, to the 7 day stay at Great Lake City.
A/N: From bad, to good and all things set right and done and Sergio won't be a bother to them for the rest of the stay, sorry I just hate that parrot and his crazy and mean antics. I feel so bad for Bobby and that bird. Leave a review and tell me what you al think.
