Chapter 277
(Royal Woods General Hospital.)
Everyone is outside and standing by and ready for the release of Michelle Lewis. The louds, Rosato's, Luna-Tics and friends are all waiting, along with some cops and Allied troops.
Luna, Sam, Lincoln and Jordan walk past their friends and family and with them are Patriot and Valkyrie, but not their chicks. Leni and Lori are holding onto them and they are worried.
Luna looks to Sam, Lincoln and Jordan. "You dudes ready for this?"
"Sorta, we have to see how she's doing and make sure she's ready for this" replied Lincoln.
"And some of us wanna know how she feels after all that she's done" replied Jordan. Sam doesn't say anything, like Jordan she would like to know as well.
Luna looks to the hospital and she sighs. "Then let's rock and roll peeps."
"Take care in there guys, and see if she's doing fine too" said Rita while carrying Lily.
"Keep safe guys, and don't make her feel uncomfortable" said Lynn Sr. "Also, make sure she's not actually fooling with you kids."
"We will." The four kids and eagles then head through the doors of the hospital.
"You think this is a good idea?" asked Jesse Rosato to Peter Harris.
"Michelle Lewis testified her confession and the court has made it clear that she will now serve in community service for the Luna and Lincoln, she owes it to them and as for Doug. Well, he's going to be locked away for a long, long time" replied Peter Harris.
"That dirt bag deserves to be left for dead!" said Simon. That one they can all agree on.
(Inside the Hospital)
Luna, Sam, Lincoln and Jordan and the eagles enter the hospital and they pass by the staff and some patients and they go through the halls and they see the room where Michelle Lewis is based in.
They then enter the room and they see her, wearing her red hoodie, black jeans, red sneakers, and she's fixing her hair. Michelle Lewis, the former co-host of America's Next Hitmaker, the woman who tried to ruin Luna's dream, former enemy to them and former associate of Doug Rockwell.
They all greet her. "Hey Michelle." The brunette turns around and smiles. "Hey guys." Though she seemed nervous seeing the Eagles, Sam and Jordan. "Oh, hey there Ms. Sharp and Ms. Rosato, how have you guys been doing?"
"We came here to pick you up so you can come and attend to your community service" replied Lincoln. "Also a little heads up there are a lot of people out there waiting for you to come out and I mean a lot."
Michelle sighs and looks out the window. "Yeah, I kinda figured." She sees a lot of aircraft and patrol vehicles go around the place. "It's like the whole freaking country is after me and that there's no place to run and/or hide." She then looks to them. "Let's go then, I wanna see what my service is."
They all nod and exit the hospital room, they make their way down the halls and Michelle notices no one is even bothering to look at her. But she is in a hospital and a lot of people are busy.
"Does your family hate me?" asked Michelle nervously.
"Hate is not the word I would look for" replied Jordan. "I mean they are angry at what you and Doug did when Luna became part of America's Next Hit Maker."
Michelle sighs. "Ugh! Don't remind me about that one. I was undergoing some stupid mean and greedy phase, I am so thankful that is over and I don't want anything to do with that show ever again."
"Let's also not forget when you tried to ruin our big gig at Bangers n' Mosh" replied Sam.
Michelle looks down with shame. "Like the first one, I was going through a phase that wasn't truly me. That phase was made by Doug when he influenced me to be as greedy as he was, and he also convinced me into taking revenge after we were bailed out. Sorry guys."
Luna sighs. "There is a lot of apologies to go by dude and to us is not enough."
Michelle just looks miserable. 'Yeah, I know. God I feel like a total and literal monster for all that I did. What the hell was I even thinking?' They then leave the hospital and she sees the many troops, families and friends waiting for her, as well as the cops.
"Okay, so this is a whole lot of people. Wow" said Michelle in shock.
"Come on" said Lincoln. She follows the kids to the crowd. "Guys, we're ready to take her to her community service trial."
They all look to the brown haired woman waiving at them. Leni then speaks up. "To be honest, you kinda look like me with Luna's hair color." they all look between Leni, Luna and Michelle.
"Huh, Leni's not wrong" said Lola. "She seems to have the body of one of Lori's friends, the hair style of Leni and the color is brown like Luna's and some part of her hair has a slight pixie-cut similarity to Luna's too."
They kinda agree with her, Michelle turns red after hearing that awkward compliment. "Okay, so … I just wanna say thank you, all of you for giving me this chance to show you all that I didn't really wanted to bring any harm and also thanks for letting me try and earn everyone's forgiveness and trust."
They all smiled knowing she was greatful for all of their agreements to let her earn a shot at a new life. "It was literally not a problem. Also this wasn't our idea, this was all Lincoln and Luna's."
"Well, mostly Luna's" replied Lincoln. "I was just there to back it up and see how the whole thing would work."
Michelle looks to them. "Thanks guys, I …. I don't know where I'd be if you two wouldn't let me take this chance. Thanks, Lincoln and Luna."
Luna smiles. "You got that shot when you understood what the wrong was and saw how insane your old pal was getting into, you were cleared to have been misunderstood and also blackmailed. But most of all."
Luna pulls Lincoln close to her. "You took the hit for my bro, you risked your own life to keep him safe and not let him die, got that I was willing to see if you can be given a second chance to freedom and everyone's trust and forgiveness."
Michelle feels like tears are welling up and she goes over and hugs Luna. "Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you for this!"
Luna smiles and hugs her back. "No problem dude." Luna sees the others smiling at her, she shows kindness in her own way when she sees someone who deserves it. Kinda like how Lincoln gave Simon a shot at earning trust and friendship.
Luna is then shocked to see her girlfriend and her band mates taking pics of this and all of them saying. "For some awkward memories to recall." They all chuckle.
They soon depart from the hug. "Okay Michelle, time to show you your new place to stay" said Luna. They all head to their respective cars and the cops and allied troops depart from the location.
"We tried to find your car but I am afraid it is no longer here" replied Lisa.
"What do you mean?" asked Michelle. "What happened to my Ferrari?"
They all didn't wanna tell her. So, Peter Harris did as he comes out of the Guardian Tank. "Someone stole it, turned into a high speed chase and fell off a cliff and landed in the middle of an abandoned coaling plant and blew up." He then drives off.
They all look to Michelle who goes wide eyed. She sighs. "Okay, I guess I definitely deserve that one." She hops into the back of Luna's purple Ferrari next to Lincoln and Jordan and the eagle's with their chicks, while Sam sits in front with Luna.
Michelle looks to the cute eagle chicks, but she knows she can't tough them. Patriot and Valkyrie still do not trust her, but she will do her best to earn every one's trust.
They then drive off back home, back to Franklin Avenue.
(Franklin Avenue.)
Vanzilla, being followed by Lori, Leni and Luna's car as well as Chunk's van arrive and they look to the Loud House and the house to the left of it. "Huh, so I live next door to you folks?" asked Michelle.
"We made some calls with Mayor Davis and she was able to arrange into making this happen" replied Jordan. "She made sure it was as comfy and safe for you, it also has some security to keep things away and keep an eye on you."
They all get out of their vehicles. Michelle sighs. "Yeah, I think I get that one. Still, this is nice."
"Why not take a look inside?" said Lynn Sr. They all go into the house and the loud parents of course tell their kids not to ruin anything in there. This is the home of their new sort of friend and she has to live through with her sentence of community service.
The exterior of the house is not the same as the louds, two floors yellow painted walls and blue tiled roof. Two windows at the top and bottom levels and a red painted door, there is a garage and a shed.
"Wow. Nice place" replied Michelle as she looks to the large living room with one couch two arm chairs a TV similar to the louds, fireplace and coffee table.
They see that there is an open entrance that leads to the kitchen and dining room and the stairs make a gap between the three rooms below. The kitchen looks like a common kitchen just like any other house, only it has a double door fridge, a new stove/oven, dish washer, two sinks, lots of cupboards and a kitchen counter for breakfast and the dining room table isn't really that big, it's more like for 4 people and there are shelves with books on them.
"Okay, so how come our house isn't this fancy?" asked Lynn Sr as he looks to the nice clean and has better appliances.
"Dudes, did Mayor Davis take it a little over and under with this place?" asked Sully.
"Seems like she went way beyond the top with this place" replied Mazzy as she looks to the portrait of fruit on the living room wall.
Michelle looks around the place and it seems way too nice for her. They see that the kitchen/dining room door is a sliding glass that leads to the backyard, but there is a nice stone tile platform and a white table and chairs with an umbrella for some outdoor breakfast. They can see two trees in the back, no flower garden of any sort or even a shed and the large bushes have been trimmed into a hedge fence along with the normal fence that divides it from the Loud House.
"This kinda looks like the same size as our backyard, only cleaner" said Lana.
"You can do a lot of things back here, like start a garden" replied Rita.
Michelle chuckles. "Yeah, that part will never happen. I don't think I would have the time and I'm not much of a gardener."
"I see the cellar that probably leads to the basement" said Jordan.
"I'll check it out myself when I have the time" replied Michelle. She just checks out the place and sees that it is a really nice house, in a common suburban area.
"Let's check upstairs then" replied Sam. They make their way back inside and they go up the fine carven stairs and they see the large hallways and only three doors.
One room is a guest room, the main bedroom and the bathroom and the walls are painted light green.
The guest rooms walls are painted ocean blue has one large bed for two, a table, chairs, windows and some pictures on the walls, the window shows the front yard and neighboring it is the bathroom. The only bathroom there has fine tiled light blue walls and white tiled floors and is has a large bathtub that seems more like a Jacuzzi, shower with glass sliding doors, toilet and a large mirror and two sinks with a nice white marble slab counter, it also has a window that shows the front yard.
"Wow! This is literally as fancy as Fairway and it's bathroom" said Lori as she sees the two shower heads.
"This bathtub seems to have a bubble trigger mechanism for soothing stress and a few emotional conflicts, making this a hot tub in retrospect" replied Lisa.
"The plumbing here seems okay, sure would like to see how well the toilet works" said Lana.
"Oh, I think I can do that one" said Lynn Jr.
"Lynn, please don't. This isn't our house, so let's not ruin it guys" said Leni. She then drags her two little sisters out of the bathroom.
Michelle looks around and doesn't feel pleased by this. 'Okay, so why the hell did they make this place look so nice for me? Why is this my home?'
And finally the main bedroom (Michelle's quarters.) They see the queen sized bed with red sheets and blankets and the bed curtains for some privacy, a large mirror and make up table along with the large walk-in closet and two windows that shows the backyard, the walls of this room are painted in cerulean.
"Dudes! This is like a hotel all of a sudden, well sorta" replied Luna as she sees the nice soft and red chair and then she sees the night stands next to the bed and the lamps.
"I totes love this!" Leni looks in the mirror and she straightens her hair.
The twins were about to jump onto the bed, but Luan stops them. "Not so fast guys, we don't want any monkey's jumping into some nonsense! (Laughs.) Get it?"
"I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore" said Jesse. "What did you do?"
Rick then looks around. "I was in charge of exterior, not interior. I think this was the full woman's touch from Mayor Davis and I think she went way overboard with this. Also, those sheets were from a cargo crate that was never picked up in three years, so I guess it is being put to good use."
Michelle looks into the closet and only sees a few clothes she can wear. She then closes it and sits onto the bed and shed some tears.
They all felt a bit worried about her, Luna and Lincoln sit next to her. "Michelle? Are you ….. Are you okay?" asked Lincoln.
"Dude, this house is nice what the heck are you upset about?" asked Luna.
Michelle then wipes away her tears. "What the hell is all of this?" They were shocked at her outburst. "Why am I even in this house? This house is too nice for me. I don't deserve this place, I did wrong things and I need to own up to them and make things right and the town gives me this over the top house to stay in? I thought I'd be living in a common home for one person but no, this looks more like a home for someone who's fancy and has a boyfriend!" She then cries into her hands.
They now feel bad for her, and she is kinda right. This house is way too nice for someone who did some wrong to them and wants to pay her dues.
They really need to talk to Mayor Davis about this. Luna then places her hand on Michelle's shoulder. "Listen dude, we know this seems a bit too much, but at least go with the flow. We want you to stay here so you can be comfortable and rest after a long day of work. You got a long, long way to finish your community service and we all wanna make sure you get some fun as well."
Michelle looks to the rocker with tears in her eyes. "What? But …. But I did ….. I wronged you guys, I almost got you … Some of you killed."
Lincoln speaks next. "And you saw the error to your mistakes and we can see just how much in pain you were trying to get over the past you were wronged, which comes to one thing we wanna know. Do you wanna commit to this community service to regain trust, respect and forgiveness?"
Michelle wipes away her tears. "O-Of course I do, more than anything. I wanna show everyone that I am not the same Michelle Lewis everyone knew about and I wanna earn my freedom and trust through this community service. Which I wanna do now."
This made them shocked even more, though Lincoln and Luna saw this one coming.
"You sure you wanna do it now?" asked Rita. "You can do it tomorrow and take a break, you just got out of the hospital."
Michelle shakes her head in denial. "No, I wanna own up for the wrong I did and start with my working punishment." She then looks to Lincoln and Luna who get up and smile at her. "So, what's my community service? Because you guys never told me."
Lincoln and Luna look to the others who barely know what it is, they then looks to Michelle. "Services to help us with some of our daily needs."
Michelle is confused. "What?"
"You heard us dude, you are going to be working around with us with some things we may need some backup with" said Luna. "Helping me and the band get ready for a gig, cleaning when some of us are on break and helping with some work around the house."
"We still have our own chores to do, but with some help from you we can easily get it all done" replied Lincoln. "And the same applies for the Rosato's and Sharp's."
Michelle is stunned by this. "So, like a house maid thing?"
They look to each other and then to Michelle. "Yes, like a housemaid thing" replied Lincoln and Luna.
The others are shocked, well not Jordan and Sam because they knew. Lola then smiles hearing this but then he mom speaks up. "Lola you are not using her for your pretend tea parties, but you can ask Michelle to clean your tiaras and also trophies, and maybe your pageants and fashion shows."
Lola scoffs, but the polishing part sounds nice to her and getting some help to carry the things she needs for her pageants and to the others they can use this to help clean things they cannot in their own rooms. They just need to keep an eye on her.
"Wow. Okay, so I guess I can work with that. What can I do first?" asked Michelle. "I am so ready!"
Lincoln hands her a device. "The Allied outpost got this from FutureTech, just push the button and it will randomly setup a name from any of us and that's the person you can help. But tonight Luna and her band have a gig to go to, so I don't think there's any need to help them. They got it all covered."
"Also, you have to wear this." Lisa goes to her right leg and she attaches a metal beeping bracelet to it.
"This some kind of house arrest bracelet?" asked Michelle.
"In a way, it is. But this will keep track and record everything you are doing in your community service, but it will not record the moments when you are in your private times. But will keep track on your location" replied Lisa.
Lynn Jr sighs. "Lisa, we know you're going to ask, so do not ask her for her DNA sample." They all look to the 5 year old genius. Michelle is shocked at what she just said. "W-What? My DNA sample?"
Lisa sighs. "Fine, I won't get a DNA sample from her." She then goes over next to her mom and hands her the tweezers and empty test tube. This makes Michelle uncomfortable for when she has to help Lisa.
Jordan goes to Michelle. "Don't worry about Lisa, we made sure you don't have to do much for her. Also, this device has been reprogrammed to barely let out Lisa's name, since we know she might do something very … Unexpected to you." they all look to Lisa who scoffs at the suggestion.
Deep down Michelle is relieved and also feeling a bit nervous about the little loud genius. "Oh, okay then." Michelle pushes the button and the names randomly cycle and then it hits a name.
"Which one of you is Luan?" asked Michelle.
"That would be me and a good timing too! Because I got a birthday gig that needs some assistance, if you know what I mean!" said Luan jokingly.
"Umm, not really. I think I can do with carrying things and setting up your clowning thing" said Michelle nervously. "I am good at double checking parts of a stage setup."
"She means getting pied in the face and taking some gags for the kids" said Lucy.
Michelle is shocked. "Oh, okay. I guess I'll do it then."
Luan chuckles. "Great! Come on!" Luan grabs her arm and they head out of the house with the others following.
They all smile seeing Michelle follow Luan into the loud house. "Looks like things are going to turn out great for her" said Simon.
"She is so going to have a heck of a time with all of us" said Stella.
"You think she needs a car to drive?" asked Chunk as he looks to the empty garage.
"We'll get to that when the time comes" replied Lincoln. Then they hear Michelle scream and Luan laugh. "And she got pranked, the first time she got pranked by Luan." they all laugh at this.
Luna chuckles. 'Welcome to Royal Woods Michelle Lewis. Welcome to the loud house.'
A/N: I know some of ya'll don't like this kinda of thing, but this is how Lincoln and Luna and some of the others wanna see how this goes and see if they can fully trust and forgive the former enemy of Luna and her band. She is going to have a hell of a time with them. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
