Chapter 269
In collaboration with Vasmasdas1.
(Hailsbrew Apartment Building.)
The day is feeling crisp, okay so it is still freaking hot outside and right now the louds and Jordan are going to be spending the rest of this day indoors with the air-conditioning helping them.
"Alright, you guys ready?" asked Lori. She places down the laptop and then brings in the cord.
"We're ready as we'll ever be Lori! Plug it in we wanna see them!" said Lynn Jr.
Lily giggles and claps. "Mama! Dada! Mama! Dada!" They all "Awe" at this, she wants to see her mom and dad, just like the others.
Patriot and Valkyrie also fly in with their chicks as well. "You guys made it, awesome" said Lincoln. The rest of the pets also get in position with them on the couch. "Okay Lori, looks like we're all here."
"Okay guys, here we go." Lori turns on the laptop, sets up the video chat and then plugs the laptop into the TV. "And now!" She clicks on the video chat inbox and sees the message from Rita's laptop and they see on the TV screen Lynn Sr, Rita, Rick and Jesse.
"Hey there kids!"
"Hi guys!" They all greet with smiles, then Lily walks towards the TV and hugs the screen and she giggles and squeals. "Mama! Dada! Mama! Dada!" They all "Awe" seeing this again.
"We missed you so much Lily, mommy misses you so much!" said Rita as she looks to her baby daughter.
"Has she been eating the food I told you guys to bring?" asked Lynn Sr.
"She has dad, and she literally still loves it and whenever we feed her she looks around for you" replied Lori. "We did our best to make sure Lily was safe and had some fun."
"Aww! I miss you so much my little Lily! I miss all of you, so, so much!" Lynn Sr starts to cry.
"Lynn, calm down please. At least we're in the same room so no one else can see this. So, how have things been going sweetie?" asked Rick.
"Things have been great mom and dad. We had some fun singing to help the Casagrandes raise some money so they can have an AC unit and it totally worked" replied Jordan. Ajax barks. "Oh, and Ajax also misses you guys."
Jesse chuckles. "We miss you too Jordan and you as well Ajax, has there been any incidents with you guys? Any trouble at all?"
They all look to each other, which was not a good sign for the parents. "Luna, what happened to Lincoln? Was it bad?" asked Rita with concern, her husband stops crying and also wants to know.
They then tell them about what happened between Lincoln and the Great Lake City zoo and its ocean exhibit and this was a major concern about this, but they did tell them that Lincoln stood his ground and forgave them that it wasn't their fault, the typical Lincoln Loud, seeing things through.
"We're so sorry you had to go through with that Lincoln" said Jesse with worry.
"Well, at least you didn't blame anyone and showed them it wasn't their fault. We're proud of you kiddo" replied Lynn Sr. "And I'll make sure we bring back some souvenirs that aren't shark related."
"Thanks, and things could be different for me when we get home. Now that I have a phobia of sharks up close and personal and not the ones on TV" replied Lincoln.
"We also have to limit the movies for ya bro, I do not wanna see you break down when we see a shark on the big screen" replied Luna.
"You're sister is right Lincoln. We'll make sure you get comfortable when we get back and make sure anything shark related isn't involved" said Rita.
"Guys, guys. It's alright. I only fear an actual shark, but sharks that are toys, or the big screen and stuff. Then I'm cool with it, just make sure it doesn't have that life like vibe" replied Lincoln.
"Okay then, and we can't wait to hear the song you guys sand. I'm sure you guys got a lot of attention from the folks" said Rick.
They then tell them all about what they have been doing. From enjoying their days in the park and throughout the city, all the way to the zoo, and the street fair. Then they told them about the parrot of the Casagrandes Sergio, and his rude antics on the eagles and their chicks.
"Okay. So the next time its thanksgiving and we're all gathered. We do not let that bird ruin everything" said Rita. That one they all agree on.
"Well, we should let you guys know what we've been doing here at beautiful Hawaii" said Jesse.
They all listen in to the amazing things that have happened to them. From Lynn Sr learning to cook with the locals, Rita and Jesse hula dancing and Rick riding some sick waves, and they tell them of all the amazing places they went and saw the reenactment of some old Hawaiian battles. But what made their vacations worthwhile was always the romantic sunset's over the horizon, and some nice dinner.
Now the loud kids and Jordan were feeling happy for their parents to enjoy this. "Well, we should let you guys enjoy the remainder of your day. We should also get back to ours we're planning to explore some reefs with a few pros" said Rick.
"And don't worry, we made sure from the pros that the only sharks there are Nurse Sharks. So we're safe, I think" replied Lynn Sr.
Then the loud kids look to each other and smile and they cheer out. ""Happy Birthday dad!" The loud and Rosato parents are shocked by this and Lynn Sr sheds a lone tear as they sing happy birthday for him. No matter how far away they are, they still have time to celebrate their birthdays. All of them.
Lynn Sr wipes away one of his tears. "Aww, thanks kids. I can't wait to celebrate it with you guys when we get back!"
"We got a surprise for you too. Before we left for this place, we packed it with us so we can make it while we have some free time after some fun time" replied Lynn Jr.
"And you are totes going to love it dad!" said Leni.
"And I look forward to seeing it too guys. Thank you, all of you." said Lynn Sr as he sheds more tears.
"This is really thoughtful of you kids. We can't wait to get back home around Sunday and celebrate, but right now I think your dad and I with the Rosato's re going to be having some birthday fun here as well" replied Rita.
"See you guys when you get back and enjoy yourselves" said Lincoln and Jordan.
"We will, see you kids." said the loud and Rosato parents, then the screen turns black. Lily then looks to her siblings. "Mama? Dada?"
Lori goes over and picks up her baby sister. "Mama and Dada will be home soon, on Sunday Lily. We just gotta hang in there and be patient and have some fun while we're still here."
"Yeah, though it is still hit out there and sure enough we can't have some fun" said Lynn. "And I was looking forward to some soccer, or basketball with CJ."
"Jordan and I were planning to have some roller skating fun with Ronnie Anne, Sid, Nikki, Sameer and Casey" replied Lincoln.
"So much for some wheels and deals of a fun time" said Jordan.
"Looks like this day is a boiling turn! Don't wanna burn some rubber and heat the asphalt when out there. Otherwise there could be some hot gas in the air!" said Luan. They all look to her unamused.
"Come on guys, we can all just have some normal hang out time while we're all here" said Luna as she has her acoustic guitar. "Like what we normally do back home. But let's try not do any form of damage while we're at it."
"Luna is totally right. We can play some boards games, or watch some TV" said Leni. "Mr. Santiago is at work and he might not be back soon, I overheard him say on the phone he could be working overtime."
They all look to Leni confused. "What? He was in the hallway and I had to listen in to know." Just then they hear a knock on the door.
"Who the heck could that be?" asked Lucy. She goes over and she opens the door. "Oh, did not expect you guys to be here."
"Hey guys!" said Sid. She's with Ronnie Anne, Adelaide and CJ. "We thought you guys could use some company since this heat wave is still cooking everyone."
"Carlota couldn't come because she's busy with one of her makeup blogs and Bobby is watching over the bodega with the secondary AC unit we got" replied Ronnie Anne. "Carl is playing with his train and Carlitos is fast asleep."
Adelaide with Froggy go over to Lola and Lana. "You two ready for another round of Princess's, Dragons and Reptile beasts? This time I brought Kami with me!" They see the Chameleon Snake she brought.
"Heck yeah!" Lola and Lana guide her to the other apartment room where they stay in and they have fun, even with Lana's Reptiles and Hops. They also grab Charles and Cliff, and now this is like the loud house. Poor Charles and Cliff, they don't wanna play dragon, or fairy.
"Awesome, though I'm just gonna go to the other apartment and watch some sports. You in CJ?" asked Lynn. "Chances we might see the pirates on the game, or it could be a rerun."
"Heck yeah I am!" said CJ. "I didn't know there was a team called the pirates, what game are they in?" CJ and Lynn go to the other apartment room and they watch the game.
"Leni and I are gonna go and keep an eye on them. Stay cool in here guys and do not go outside" said Lori.
"We know, it is so hot out there some of the folks are seeing the asphalt on the road starting to sizzle" said Ronnie Anne. "Parr's fruit delivery truck's tires melted right off!"
"I saw some folks cooking eggs on the hoods of their cars and don't worry they're clean" said Sid.
Lori and Leni head back to the other apartment room along with Lily. Luan and Lisa watch some TV, while Lucy goes into the vents and makes a poem about this heat wave. Luna then heads back to her room, along with Lincoln, Jordan, Ronnie Anne and Sid.
"So, anything new on your hero counterpart dude?" asked Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln and Jordan then show them the picture they got from them and tell them what Pokemon are. This fascinates Sid, though she knows they're not real in their world and are just fiction, but seeing the pic of Lincoln's hero self only means they are real. Just elsewhere.
"Wow. Sure which I'd knew what each one are, but from what you guys said that is a lot to count" said Sid. "When do you guys hang out with them?"
"No clue, we haven't gotten a call yet, but last night this is what I got." Lincoln shows them a selfie of Hero Lincoln with his sister Luna, but something was wrong.
"Dudes, why is she in her demon form and why is she cradling him like that? And they both look kinda sad" replied Luna. "What the heck happened to them?"
"I think so, but I don't wanna talk any further about this to him" replied Lincoln. "I'll wait till he says we can hang out" replied Lincoln. "Though, I feel like a bad thing happened and they're in the middle of it."
"Kinda looks like they're both bonding or comforting each other" replied Jordan.
"I guess you guys can only know unless he comes and hangs out" said Ronnie Anne. "Now, I think we should surprise the others about this. Sid and I found out that the pool here in the city will be open tomorrow! We can show both our families about it and we can all hang out."
"Whoa! Now that is what I call a plan, though we gotta keep an eye out for Carl. He could do some bad things while we're there, especially when there are two senior teens" replied Luna. "Okay, one who is gonna be a senior and one headed for college."
"We can deal with that one when we get to swimming. We should also be cautious about when we bring cash along, and be wary if Rosa brings Sergio" replied Jordan.
"Yeah, my abuela decided to let him out of the time out cage because it's getting too hot" replied Ronnie Anne. "And don't freak out guys, it's so hot he can't even fly outside and I heard that half his pigeon friends got fried, like crispy fried."
"Poor little guys" said Sid. "Looks like the pigeon population here in the city is going down."
"Well, at least we can spend our last day at Great Lake City tomorrow with an awesome pool time" said Luna. "To relax, rest and chill to the cool soothing waters."
Just then they hear some yelling. "Hops! Froggy! Come back!"
"That sounded like Lana and Adelaide" said Lincoln. They get out of the room and leave the apartment room to see Lana and Adelaide run through the halls and then make their way down stairs chasing their frogs. Hops and Froggy are chasing some flies they found.
"Lana! Adelaide!" they go after them and so do the others.
The two girls exit the apartment when Froggy and Hops squeeze through the mail slot and go after the flies. They then continue hopping and then they stop and grab the insects.
Then Lana and Adelaide catch them. "Gotcha! Don't do that guys! We were so scared of you two hopping off like that" said Lana.
"Froggy, what did I say about straying away from me. You got me so worried about you mister" said Adelaide. "No bacon bits for you tonight."
They then hear a loud honk. "What?" They see a white Mack truck headed for them! The two girls go wide eyed and are too stunned to move.
The others see this. "Lana! Adelaide! No!" Lynn tries to go to the, but her shoes making contact with the hot ground cause her laces to unravel and she trips, and then Lincoln rushes past her. "Lincoln, stop! No!" Patriot and Valkyrie see this and also fly in.
"Lincoln!" Luna rushes after him. Lincoln then grabs the two girls holding the frogs and the truck drives by, Luna makes a halt as the truck drives past her at full speed. "Lana! Adelaide! Lincoln!" The eagles then fly above and sigh in relief.
The truck and its trailer drive by and Luna sighs in relief to see them okay. Lincoln then pants as he's laying onto the ground with the two girls in his arms. The frogs are pale white from what they saw.
Lincoln then sits up and looks to the two eight year olds. "Lana! Adelaide! What the heck were you two thinking?! You could've been killed out there! Seriously! I cannot lose you again Lana!" Lincoln sheds some tears as he scolds his little sister.
Adelaide and Lana shed some tears from Lincoln's words. "W-Were sorry …. We-We were just and we." Lana then hugs Lincoln and cries.
Sid goes over. "Adelaide!" The little girl also hugs her older sibling and cries onto her shirt. "There, there. Oh, don't ever do that again!" Sid sheds some tear and hugs her little sister. "At least you're okay!"
Lincoln hugs Lana. "Lana, I'm sorry. But what you did was reckless and also stupid and I don't wanna go through that again, understand?" Lana slowly nods as she cries into her brother's shirt.
Luna then goes over and she hugs Lincoln, Lana and then she pulls in Sid and Adelaide into a hug. Jordan also joins in and so does Ronnie Anne. Then the rest of the louds come in and hug them.
Sid can see this was getting kinda awkward, but it felt nice. 'Wow. So this is what the comforting hug of a good sister feels like, this is nice. I like it.'
They then break from the hug. Sid looks to Lincoln. "Lincoln, thank you. Thank you so much for saving my little sister, I n don't know how to repay you."
Lincoln chuckles. "It was no problem, I had to save them. Someone had to do it." Then he gets shocked when Sid kisses his cheek. Lincoln turns red and looks to her. "W-What the heck was that about?"
Sid looks away. "Sorry, I thought that was the best way I could say thanks. Also, I recall what you guys told us when the gals at the spa did the same thing." This makes them giggle.
"You goof ball" said Ronnie Anne ad she hugs Sid.
Lincoln looks to Jordan who is chuckling. "I'll let this slide, besides it is still cute when you get nervous from the kiss of another cute girl and yes I know you think Sid is cute."
All the loud sisters giggle at this. Lynn then goes over. "Stupid shoe laces. Sorry you had to do that Lincoln, I don't know what could've happened if …" Lynn then hugs Lincoln and he hugs her back.
"It's okay Lynn, we all didn't know what was gonna happen. What matters is that we're all safe" said Lincoln.
"We should head back inside and when mom comes to pick us up, she'll need to hear about this" said Sid to her little sister.
Adelaide wipes away her tears. "I know, I'm so sorry Sid." She then looks to her frog who is trying to comfort her and apologize for hopping off, Hops does the same for Lana. They all know who started this, and why.
"Look, just keep a close eye on your pets guys" said Lucy. "We don't wanna go through this again and what about the truck?"
"Ah, leave it be" said Lincoln. "That truck is the least of our problems." As they all head back into the apartment they don't know someone took footage of this and is going to post it, and the person got the license plate on that truck and where it came from. The side of the trailer said: High n' Buy!
They head to the apartment, but then Lincoln stops and feels this slight pain to his right side. "Ah! What the heck?"
They all go to him, Luna lifts his shirt and sees it. "You got a slight bruise little bro, not too bad and we can patch it up."
This makes Lana and Adelaide concerned. "We're so sorry Lincoln!"
"No, no. It's just a bruise, I'll be fine" replied Lincoln. But then Luna picks him up and all of them head into the apartment to get the first aid kit. Lincoln chuckles. 'Looks like Luna is back to protective mode, again.'
(Skip, night time.)
"Adelaide, I am really disappointed in you. Running off like that? That was very reckless, when your dad gets back home he'll wanna hear about this young lady" said Becca to her daughter.
Adelaide looks down with sadness and she wipes away some tears. "I know. I'm s-sorry m-mom."
Becca's face then softens and she hugs her daughter. "Oh. I'm so happy you're still okay. But I don't want you to have Froggy out of his cage until next week, understood?"
Adelaide just hugs her mom. "Okay mom, okay." Sid sheds some tears and she too joins in on this. They then break the hug and see the louds.
"Thank you Lincoln, thank you so much for saving my little girl. You're a real hero Lincoln" said Becca.
"I did what I had to, she was just like Lana. Someone who wants to have fun and someone you don't wanna lose" replied Lincoln. "And take it easy on her, she's still kinda riled up after what happened."
Becca nods. "Alright, and get well soon Lincoln. "You're one tough kid."
"See you around Lincoln." Ronnie Anne goes over and hugs him.
Then CJ joins in. "Tomorrow, you and me are pirating all day at the pool."
Lincoln chuckles and hugs them both. "You got it CJ." They then break the hug. "I just hope they'll let me go to the pool tomorrow."
"You only got a bruise, so you'll be fine for tomorrow" replied Lori. They then watch as Becca, Sid, Adelaide, Ronnie Anne and CJ leave the apartment building, they then close the door and all the louds and Jordan hug Lincoln. Lincoln sheds some tears and hugs them back. That was a close call for him and Lana and Adelaide and possibly Luna as well.
Meanwhile Hops sighs as he's in his cage, he then sees Charles, Cliff, Geo, Walt's, Della, Fangs, Izzy, El Diablo and the eagles looking at him sternly. He's gonna be punished for a long while. He knows he deserves it.
Day 6, to the 7 day stay at Great Lake City.
A/N: What turned into a common chat time with the rents and some fun time with friends, almost turns into another troubling sentence for Lincoln, the idea for Lana and Adelaide chasing they're frogs was an early concept idea from Vasmasdas1. Next, pool time! Leave a review and tell me what you al think.
