Chapter 287
(The Loud House.)
Sam's car arrives and coming out is Sam Sharp and Jordan Rosato. "So, what are we here for again?" asked Jordan.
"Luna and Lincoln have something big planned for all of us, and later when the whole family gets ready to bring him to the hospital to have the casts removed, then they'll tell them all" replied Sam. "Now come on, let's go and see what's up."
The two girls go to the house and knock, the door is opened by Michelle. "Oh, hey girls. Glad you came, Lincoln and Luna are in the backyard waiting for you both. Also, can you please give them these sodas?"
Jordan and Sam take the four sodas. "Thanks, and also what are you doing today?" asked Jordan.
"Nothing much, just going around and helping as best I can, also later we're bringing Lincoln to the hospital to have his cast removed" replied Michelle. "Well, I need to go and get the laundry folded, also Lynn Sr and Rita aren't working today since all the family is gonna be there to see Lincoln take his walking steps back in place."
"Thanks for the info Michelle and we'll be tagging along as well" said Sam. They then head to the backyard and then they see them. Lincoln and Luna Loud, both of them talking about something.
"Hey guys, we're here also Michelle wanted us to hand you guys these sodas" said Jordan. She hands the sodas to Lincoln and Luna and they sit in front of them as they are all underneath the tree.
"Thanks dude" said Luna. "Also, we're kinda glad you both are here. There's something Linc and I talked about and we think you two should be included and then the family after we get the casts off of little bro."
"So, what the heck is it?" asked Sam.
Lincoln looks to Jordan. "Do you recall the day on the boat trip we all had? And the whole situation where we were both castaways onto the island in the middle of Lake Eddie?"
Jordan sighs. "Yeah, that was the worst day of our lives and we thought we were both going to be there for a long, long time. I mean I have been dreaming of spending my whole life with you, but not like that. Not without our friends and family with us. Also, why are you bringing this up?"
Lincoln then asks. "Do you recall my nightmare about the place and what I wanted us to do when we had the time?"
"Yeah, why? What the heck is going on and why are we talking about the whole boat trip incident anyway?" asked Jordan.
Lun is the one who explains. "Alright, so the day after the nightmare was told by Lincoln. I made a call to the allied outpost back when Peter Harris was the man in charge and I told him about my plan. And the plan was to build a nice little summer retreat onto island Castaway, which is what we called it. And so they did it, they built a nice summer retreat there."
Jordan and Sam are at a loss for words.
Lincoln continues the rest. "The island has an Allied Naval Shipyard and Sea Port not too far, so there are patrols in the area who are also keeping an eye on Plessy the lake monster, she's kept safe from people who wanna see her. Anyway, the retreat is a special kind of vacation home meant for those who have been there and wish to get away from the stress and conflicts they have had from home."
Luna then continues. "And that kind of people are Lincoln and me and Jordan as well. We were hoping we'd spend a week there just to calm our nerves and also find some peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of the life here in town. It's also a good way to get some bad memories out of the place, and from what I heard they found some cool landmarks on the island that we should check out."
Sam and Jordan are now lost for words, stunned and confused all at the same time.
Lincoln looks to his big sister, Luna nods which signals him to tell them. "Luna and I are going to tell the family what we're planning, but we also want to know if you two wanna tag along as well."
Jordan and Sam drop their empty cans of sodas. "What?"
"All four of us have had a lot of hard times to go through and a lot of close calls and we don't wanna be the only ones spending a week at some little island in Lake Eddie" said Luna. "So we thought maybe a week with the lovers of our lives could be a great idea."
Then Patriot and Valkyrie with their chicks land onto Lincoln's shoulders. "And these two also wanna be part of it, an island in the middle of the lake could be a good place to teach their chicks on survival. So, what do you girls say?"
Sam and Jordan look to each other. Jordan had no clue this was going to happen, Sam on the other hand knew something was up, but she did not expect this. They smile and hug Lincoln and Luna. "Yes, yes we are so in on this!"
Lincoln and Luna smile and they hug Sam and Jordan. They were now onboard and are planning to go with them to this one week trip.
They then break the hug. "Wow, a whole week on an island in the middle of Lake Eddie and it's just the 4 of us! And I get to see Plessy!" said Sam.
"I should be upset about going back to the island that almost got Linc and I into so much turmoil, but for this once I wanna go back and see it all through and this nice retreat you guys got built" said Jordan.
"We're glad to have you guys onboard, but the real question is the rest of the family" said Luna.
"I'm sure they'll understand" said Sam. "They know you guys have been through so much and need the time to be stress free and out of the bad vibes of all the things that have happened."
"The only way to know is to tell them, and that is when we tell them after I get this ding dang cast off my left leg!" said Lincoln. "I can finally walk again! Now I don't need to feel bad that everyone has to wheel me around or carry me upstairs."
Luna chuckles and she hugs her little brother. "I don't mind doing it, brings back good little memories."
Lincoln chuckles and he hugs her back. "Yeah, yeah it kinda does." Sam and Jordan then join in on this.
Just then the backdoor opens and shows Leni. "Guys, time to get to the hospital." She then sees them break the hug and look to her with smiles. "Was I interrupting something? Are you guys okay?"
"Never better sis" said Luna. "In fact, we got something big to tell the rest of the fam once Linc gets his casts off. Go ahead and tell them to wait, we'll be there soon."
Leni knows something is up, she too has noticed this from Luna since yesterday. Sam wasn't the only who saw it coming. "Okay then." Leni heads back into the house to tell the others, while Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam and the eagles all head to the front yard and into the Luna's car.
When they reach the front yard, Michelle helps Lincoln out of his wheel chair and puts him into Luna's car. She then places the wheel chair into the trunk and hops in. They all get into their respective vehicles and they drive off to the hospital.
As they drive, they see a convoy of vehicles behind them. The cars were from Chunk, Carol, Jackie, Mandee, Whitney, Teri, The Rosato parents and the Sharp parents and with them are Simon, Stella, Liam, Tabby, Jenny, Christina, Sully, Mazzy, Dana, Becky and Jessica, and of course the parents of the Sharps and Rosato's.
Lincoln and Luna see this, and so does Jordan and Sam. Looks like they have a lot to tell then, but they don't know how they will react.
(Royal Woods Hospital.)
They all watch as Lincoln gets his left leg cast removed. As soon as the doctor and nurse get the cast off, Lincoln looks to his bare left leg that looks the same as it were before, just not damaged. "Wow. Sure feels good to have nice air pass on my left leg. Almost felt like an eternity stuck in that cast."
They all chuckle at that, even Lucy found it humorous at the fact it's what she dreams, an eternity of life.
Lincoln then gets off the bed and he takes his first steps and walks again. "Any problems bro?" asked Luna.
"Nope, all good. I can walk once more and it sure feels great to stretch out the good leg too" said Lincoln.
They were all greatful for Lincoln back on his feet, literally. Lynn Sr and Rita sign the papers and they spot Lincoln talking to his sister. "So, all you gotta do is get your legs back in running order to get the blood flowing back" said Lynn Jr.
Lincoln chuckles. "I got it LJ and don't worry, once Sergei is available then I can train with him to see if I still can move fast as I usually do."
"We're so glad you can walk again sweetie" said Rita. "And as a reward, we're all going to your father's restaurant to celebrate. Just a small and private lunch for all of us."
"I got something new straight out of Hawaii you guys should try and all of you get to be the first ones to taste it!" said Lynn Sr. They all cheer and they get out of the hospital and back into their rides.
Lincoln, Luna, Sam and Jordan recall they have to tell them about the whole one week plan they have.
(Lynn's Table.)
All of them are sitting down and waiting for the new dish Lynn Sr has in store for them and soon enough he comes out and with Carol and Lori also helping with carrying the food. "And lunch is served!" said Lynn Sr.
They place the plates of the food for each of them and a bowl for if they want seconds. "Behold, my crab and fried rice stew special! I got this idea after I tried the crab stew from one restaurant and the delicious fried rice from another! Enjoy gang"
They all get a spoonful of the food and they all liked it. "Wow. Now this is what I call a bit of paradise for home, nice cooking dad" said Luan.
"This does taste like Aloha beach, in a way and it feels like I'm already back in Aloha Beach hotel and Resort. I totally like this dish already" said Jessica as she continues to eat.
"This is almost like my home country" said Stella. "Seafood and rice into one dish and they clash to make it all taste so good!" Stella then goes for seconds, she does love her rice.
"The combination of this dish makes up for a good combination of healthy elements and a good combination of savory and salty, very impressive and I also seek seconds" said Lisa.
"Not bad honey, this kinda does remind me of our lunch at Hawaii" said Rita. Jesse and Rick also agreed. Tasted like the vacation had never left them.
Lynn and Lana finish their plates. "More please!" Yup, they ate it fast, which means they loved it.
They all continue to eat the new dish for the restaurant and all of them agreed that this had to be on the menu for the other customers to try.
"Thanks for being such nice critics guys" said Lynn Sr. "Also, once this dish gets onto the menu I am so going to have the price stay normal, with a dash of free rice refills."
"Now that sounds like a cool promo" said Simon as he gets seconds on the crab stew and the fried rice.
Lincoln and Luna looked to Jordan and Sam and they nod, they knew it was time to tell them all. Leni sees this and she taps her glass.
"Guys, Lincoln, Luna, Jordan and Sam have something to tell us." They all look to the four kids.
Lincoln looks to Leni. "Thanks sis." With Luna they look to the others. "Okay, so Luna and I had this big talk last night about some old memories that kinda remained within Luna, Jordan and myself and Luna did make the promise possible after the nightmare I had all those months ago."
They were all confused. "What promise? And what nightmare?" asked Lori.
"You guys recall the whole Boat Trip incident at Lake Eddie?" asked Jordan with a worried tone, and this made the Louds and Rosato's' cringe at that old and bad memory.
The twins look to them. "What about the whole thing?"
Luna sees Lincoln giving her a nod. "They'll understand sis, it's what family's do."
The others are confused by this. "Luna, what's going on?" asked Rita.
Luna then tells them about the whole idea of the island retreat home at the Castaway Island in the middle of Lake Eddie. Luna then tells them she has a plan for a one week stay for herself and Lincoln for the island and then they added Sam and Jordan also tagging along for the ride, in which Jordan and Sam tell them they are onboard with it as well.
"So, that's the whole pan and we were wondering if you guys are all cool with it" said Luna.
They see the stunned looks from the others, and Luna thinks that this was a bad idea and that they wouldn't let them. The parents look to each other with smiles. "We think it's a good idea Lunes" said Lynn Sr.
Luna is shocked to hear this. "Wait what?"
"We understand you wanna spend one week alongside Lincoln, Jordan and Sam on this island to calm your nerves after all you guys have been through and we know it'll help you guys" said Rita.
Lincoln chuckles and looks to Luna. "Told ya they would understand."
"When do you guys plan to go there anyway?" asked Lucy.
"We plan to go somewhere around August 9, which is next week and then we'll be back around the August 16" said Luna.
"We know this is a good idea and we all think you guys deserve it, since the last two times we all had a one week awesome vacation trip which nearly ended with some bad things happening" said Luan.
"A week stay on an island that you two know sounds like a great idea" said Jesse. "Jordan has her own skills at camping and so does Lincoln, and with the eagles with you guys then it'll all be safe." they decide not to say anything about the lake monster to the others.
"So, we can have a one week stay on the island at Lake Eddie?" asked Sam. Her parents nod and so does Simon.
"I'll make sure the house is okay sis, I have learned how to be responsible from you" replied Simon. "I'm 12, so responsibility is running through my mind. Also, I want you to have some calm moments from the many bad things you had to endure."
Luna smiles. "Thanks guys, this is …. Wow. I guess we can setup what we need to pack when it's Saturday."
"We just wanna know one thing" said Rita. "We need to know if you can be there to keep Lincoln and Jordan safe, we know you and Sam will wanna enjoy some alone time, but be sure that Lincoln and Jordan can be able to count on the two of you to be there for when something bad does happen."
"She's not wrong, it may be a deserted island but what we do know is that an island like that also has some natural wildlife. Wildlife that could a threat" said Rick. "When you told Peter Harris about the construction did he tell you about any animals there?"
Luna recalls the reports from Jordan's godfather when he was in charge of the whole thing.
"He did say something about wild boards and some monkeys and maybe some reptiles too, so I guess we should take in some precaution to make sure we're all safe" said Luna.
"We can handle this guys and we have the eagles who can look after us, the Allied naval outpost in the lake and an extra helper there too" said Sam, and when she means the special helper, she means the friendly lake monster.
"Well, looks like this big talk you guys had planned is going well, and we trust you guys to handle things and also keep an eye on each other, as you all have always had" said Lori.
As they all cheer for this, deep down Michelle wasn't feeling quite happy about this. If they will be gone for one week, what would she do? She has her own promises to help the louds, sharps and Rosato's. But her main priority was to assist Lincoln and Luna and whatever problems they might have, but she knows this is the right thing to do. Let Lincoln and the others have some one week peace from the troubles they have fought through.
'I think I should tell them about how I feel when the time is right, I wanna know how I cal fit into all this.'
They all continue to talk, eat and celebrate Lincoln out of his casts and the upcoming one week stay of Luna, Lincoln, Sam and Jordan onto Lake Eddie and its lonely little island of paradise.
But then something came into the thoughts of Lincoln and he whispers it to Jordan. Jordan also realizes this and she sends a text to everyone, everyone but Stella.
They all secretly check their phones as Stella heads for the rest room and they see the message from Jordan. "Guys! Stella's Birthday is tomorrow! We have to shop for something to give her."
This made them all worry, everyone but Simon who chuckles. "Seriously guys? I already got my gift for her days ago." He then drinks his soda.
Of course he does, tomorrow was a birthday they were all looking forward to. Luan then has an idea and she whispers to Michelle.
"Oh no, oh heck no" said Michelle.
Luan chuckles. "Oh heck yeah! Come on Michelle. Can't be a good act, if the stage ain't gonna be upright otherwise we'd be drama-ting it! Hahaha! Get it?" They all groan from that pun.
Michelle sighs. "Ugh! Fine, I'll do it. Well, my day is made tomorrow."
Luna looks between an irritated Michelle and an excited Luan. "Something tells me Michelle isn't gonna be in a good mood for tomorrow with Luan."
"Something tells me she's gonna get more than just a pie to the face" said Lola.
Jessica is confused and then chuckle. "Looks like a lot of stuff is gonna happen while I'm here, and I can't wait to see more."
A/N: The big week is closing in for them and come tomorrow is the birthday of their good Filipina friend Stella Gonzales and who knows what could happen. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
