Chapter 305.
(August 22, Great Lake City Zoo.)
The whole place is now packed with so many kids from Cesar Chavez Academy, and why are they here? To celebrate the 12th Birthday of the tech and zoo loving girl (And K-Pop lover) Sidney Chang.
All of her friends are there: Nikki, Sameer, Casey, Laird, Becky, Artemis and of course Ronnie Anne and Bobby is also there and CJ and Carlota and Sid's mom, dad and little sister Adelaide. Oh, and tons of animals, it is a zoo after all.
Rosa is there making the food alongside her is Frida and Tio Carlos with Carlitos, Maria and Arturo. Though, why the heck is Vito there? And also Mrs. Kernicky? Who else came here?
And here comes the birthday girl, Sid is riding on top of Bitsy with her mom Becca and little sister Adelaide. "Wow! This is gonna be one awesome birthday! Everyone is here!"
"All of your friends are here Siddo and it also looks like some other friendly company too." Becca then whistles and Bitsy grabs Ronnie Anne so she can sit next to Sid.
"Hey girl!" Sid hugs her and kisses her cheek. Seeing this makes Becca and Adelaide giggle and so does her dad who is giving rides to everyone around the zoo, he nearly loses control from being distracted but then regains it.
Ronnie Anne chuckles and blushes at the affection. "Thanks Sid, and I brought Bobby, Carlota and CJ along, also Lalo wanted to join in as well."
"That's cool. So, any signs from our Royal Woods Amigos yet?" asked Sid. They then hear eagle sounds and all the party goers look up and cheer and then stop and look closely at the eagles.
"What the heck?" Ronnie Anne and Sid see something was wrong. "I thought they had two eagles, why are there six of them? And why does one of them look different?" asked Sid.
Then they see the vehicles of Lori, Luna and Sam arrive, as well as a Grizzly Tank from the Allied Outpost. Coming out are: Lincoln, Jordan, Lori, Luna, Peter Harris, Jessica, Michelle Lewis, Lana, Lola, Rita, Lily, Simon, Stella, Sam, Liam, Tabby, Lance, Joy, Trent, Kat, Cookie, Artie, Jenny, Richie, Flat Tire and Christina. Some aircraft make a fly-by from above.
Ronnie Anne and Sid are shocked by the big company. "Huh, did not expect them to bring this many people" said Ronnie Anne. "Let's go over and say hi."
"Let's go Bitsy!" said Sid. The elephant makes her way to the main gate. They then get through the crowd of people who also want to see them, but Peter Harris and Michelle block their path, but they let the pachyderm through.
"Hey guys!" Sid and Ronnie Anne slide down the trunk and are soon followed by Becca and Adelaide. "You guys made it! Awesome!"
"Happy Birthday Sid!" they all greeted to her.
"We're so glad we made it." Lori then goes over and she hugs Bobby and she greets Carlota.
"Plus, we would never wanna bail out of this awesome birthday party of yours" said Jordan. "We also brought with us some friends from Royal Woods, though this isn't the full gang, they're all still having their time at they're Summer Vacations."
"That's okay, I guess Clyde, Rusty, Zach, Giggles and Polly aren't here, as well as Molly and Sadie huh?" said Sid.
"Yup, and we got a big surprise for ya dude!" said Luna. She looks to Lincoln and Jordan who nod. They then whistle and all 6 eagles dive bomb towards them at great speed.
They then land onto the shoulders of Lincoln, Jordan and Luna. Everyone is shocked and they recognize who the other three bald eagles are. "No way! Are those the chicks?!" asked Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln chuckles. "Yup, not yet into adulthood, but now they can fly." On his shoulders are Patriot and Harrier, Jordan has Valkyrie on her left arm and Artemis and Freya are on her shoulders.
Ronnie Anne looks to Luna's shoulder. "What the heck?!"
But Becca recognizes the bird. "No honking way! A Stellar's Sea Eagle?! These guys are the top hunters of the sea and are far superior to any other known sea eagle! How in the world?!"
Luna chuckles. "Let's just say we made a new friends when we had the one week stay on Castaway Island in Lake Eddy. His name is Bullet and the feathered pattern to his eye says why he has that name."
"Then I am so glad I am making fired Fish tacos!" said Rosa. She then gets to cooking and the sound of fried fish was enough to make Bullet fly off of Luna and look at what Rosa is doing.
"You've got to tell us what happened and how you found him!" said Sid.
Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam and Michelle smile. "Sure."
Carlota looks to the woman in the red dress and black leggings. "Who the heck are you?"
"Michelle Lewis, former enemy of Luna and now friends with these guys and serving my sentence by being there to assist them" said Michelle.
They look to Luna. "That one is also a long story and not easy to tell. Now come on, I think you guys need to know how we got the sea eagle and how these little dudes took flight in the skies." The place all of the gifts they got for Sid onto the table with Peter Harris guarding them.
Everyone gathers around the stage and they all listen in to the story of what they did on Castaway Island and how they found the bird of fishy prey and the animals they encountered and the story as to why there are animals there. This was something Becca wanted to check out, animals from across the world in one island in the middle of Lake Eddy, they even tell them how the eagle chicks took flight, but they made sure they left out the tale of the Lake Monster, Plessy, that is for those they can trust to keep the secret.
(Later.)
With everything said and done, everyone enjoys the rest of the party, the music the food and the animals. Sid and Ronnie Anne are interacting with Lincoln and Jordan.
"I so love that those eagles can fly now! That is so cool!" said Sid. "And it looks like Artemis is meeting Artemis!"
She's not wrong, there is a kid from the Cesar Chavez Academy named Artemis who is part of the Lucha Wrestling Club and then there is the Bald Eagle Chick Artemis, this isn't awkward at all.
"So, Carl and Sergio here?" asked Jordan and Jordan. The very names alerts Lori, Luna, Rita and the twins. Patriot and Valkyrie also get their talons ready and look around.
"Not here, Carl is still grounded till the end of the summer and Sergio is serving his sentence in the time out cage and there is no way he's gonna be out anytime soon" said Ronnie Anne. "But Abuela did say that she'll let him out for Halloween and also Thanksgiving, so we're gonna need to plan on that one."
Lincoln and Jordan didn't like the sound of that, and neither do the eagles. "We can deal with that hot issue next time, for now we have some cool things to secretly tell you and your mom" said Lincoln.
Becca hears this. "What about me? What's going on?" Sam, Luna and Michelle also come over. They then bring them someplace private to talk.
"So, what's the big secret you want to tell us?" asked Adelaide. Yeah, they also wanna tell her. Lola and Lana dragged her to go to them and Michelle Lewis is keeping guard to make sure no one else listens in.
The place they chose to talk in private is somewhere near the Komodo Dragon Enclosure. "Okay, so we know we told you guys about Castaway Island and we know your mom will wanna go there" said Sam.
"Oh, it's not allowed is it? If so then I guess I'm okay with it" said Becca.
"No, no. It's cool to go there, just as long as you got permission from us or the allied base not too far. We wanna have you go there and check out the wildlife, there are tons of animals you may have not seen before" said Luna.
"Then what's with the secretive thing?" asked Sid.
"This." Jordan shows them the picture of them on the lake and riding a Lake Monster.
Ronnie Anne, Sid, Becca and Adelaide are shocked. "What the what?"
"Is that a dinosaur?" asked Adelaide.
"Not even close" said Lincoln. "This here is Plessy, the resident Lake Monster of Lake Eddy, and he's been the one who has been showing us an awesome time on the island. From underwater searches which we found the lost ship from a long time war to an awesome rollercoaster style ride through an underwater cave and current system and he also kinda helped me with my shark phobia, by showing me a Basking Shark that was nearby."
"Well I'll be" said Becca. "He is incredible and a basking shark in the lake is odd, but it is connected to Lake Huron after all."
"I like this secret already!" said Sid.
"Not just that. But here." Luna hands them each a diamond to keep.
They look to the diamonds on shock. "Whoa! What?!" Then Sam shushes them. "Keep the volume below 11 guys."
"Plessy gave some diamonds to us, as a way to keep the secret safe and that he trusts us and calls us friends, and we trust you guys as our friends and wanna share the beauty of Castaway Island, so consider this as a gift of friendship and trust from the Lake Eddy Lake Monster" said Lincoln.
"If anyone asks about these, then tell them they're from us and we got them from a special place from our vacation. Got it?" said Jordan.
"Sure, I think I can pawn this to raise some money for the zoo. Now we can expand the Alligator and Crocodile exhibit and also add an exhibit for any other new animals" said Becca.
"I may not be much of a fan for jewelry, but I think I'll keep this safe and sound elsewhere, so Carl and Carlota won't find it" said Ronnie Anne. "I am gonna have to tell mom though."
"I'm with Ronnie Anne, I wanna save mine for something very special!" Sid kisses Ronnie Anne cheek and they both blush and giggle.
"I am gonna keep this safe and when we do go to Castaway island, I wanna give Plessy a big hug!" said Adelaide. "When can we go there?"
"Soon kid" said Sam as she ruffles Adelaide's hair. "We'll call you guys when we do get the chance to pay a nice visit to the lake, and let's hope it won't be during the fall season. Chances Plessy might end up hibernating for the winter."
"That's alright, we can be patient and thanks for the diamonds and we'll make sure no one else knows about the lake as well" said Becca.
"Thanks guys, we trust you. Now, let's go and show them what the eagle chicks can do now" said Jordan.
They all walk away from the Komodo Dragon Enclosure. "And if they're feeling like it, I took up some learning on Bullet and I can tell the kids all about the Stellar's Sea Eagle" replied Luna.
"Now that sounds like a dang good plan" said Becca.
They all head back to the party and enjoy everything. Lincoln and Jordan show them the moves from the eagle chicks and they seem to be improving to be as good as they're parents, this makes Patriot and Valkyrie proud.
Luna tells the other kids all about the Stellar's Sea Eagle and the other kinds of Sea Eagles.
Lori looks around and smiles. "Wow. Things are literally an enjoyment around here."
"Sure is babe." Bobby stands next to Lori and notices the diamond earrings. "Babe, where did you get those? They look kinda expensive." Bobby was getting so much concern.
Lori chuckles. "Boo-Boo Bear, don't worry. Lincoln and the others got all of us some diamonds from the island they stayed in, and I think they may have handed some to the others since this is a token of trust, friendship and family."
They all spend the rest of their time having fun at the party and watching Sid and Ronnie Anne perform all the songs and dance moves from 12 is midnight, and for some reason Kat, Joy and Cookie joined in.
They made sure they recorded all of this so the others back home can see and they would not believe that they're friends would groove to the K-Pop song that they never even heard of.
All of Lincoln and Jordan's friends are having fun and talking with the friends from Ronnie Anne and Sid and are talking about a skateboard club for their middle school arrival, which is also part of the Cesar Chavez Academy. This gives Flat Tire an idea for Royal Woods Middle School.
Carlota interacts with Jessica and she tells them about what her brothers did when they snuck out of their home and went to Royal Woods and caused so much trouble.
Lincoln was informed by Becca Chang, that they changed the renovations of the zoo, now they have some extra restrooms by the fresh water exhibit, where there are no sharks and that makes Lincoln sigh in relief, because he drank way too much soda and had too much tamales and tacos.
And while all of this was happening, a drone sees them and keeps an eye on Lori, and then sees Jessica and sees all of Jordan's gal pals. "Wow. Sure wish I could be there to see all the chicitas and hang out with them."
"You wish jerk!"
Carl's drone looks around. "What the?! Who said that?!"
Then he spots a drone that is bigger than his and is the shape of a Pterosaur with the voice of Sid, it's like a foot bigger than his drone. "Looks like someone doesn't know when to stay grounded!"
Then the drone of Carl sees all the guests looking towards his drone, and then he sees his parents glaring at his drone and his abuela readying her shoe to throw at the drone.
Sid's drone then activates its claw legs and it grabs Carl's drone when it tries to escape and brings it down to Frida and Carlos. "You are in so much trouble Carl! We told you to stay in your room!"
"But I am in my room! You didn't tell me that I couldn't use my drone!" said Carl through his drone.
"Yes, but we also told you to hand over all of your things, and you handed us the box where you said your drone as in. But I guess you lied and didn't give us the actual drone son" said Carlos.
Carl chuckles nervously. "Umm, I can explain!"
Abuela then gets in front of the drone. "Consider all of your desserts banned for another month Mijo! I expected so much more from you, and this is what you're doing?! Spying on people and their privacy?!"
"I don't do that, not like I go around the neighborhood and spy on everyone in the apartment!" said Carl through the drone and everyone gasps. "Oops!"
"Oh! Someone is in so much trouble!" said CJ. Keon the Komodo dragon and the monkeys laugh at this.
"Mijo, when we get home, you are getting another week of extension to your grounding and this drone is coming with us" said Tia Frida. Carlitos raspberries the drone and so does Lily.
"You had a lot of nerve harassing my daughters and almost getting my son killed the last time they were here!" said Rita sternly. "You're lucky I'm letting your parents handle this one!"
Then Bullet sees the hostile drone and he takes off at great heights, and everyone sees this. "What the heck is he doing?" asked Laird.
Luna then smiles. "Something epic!"
Bullet then reaches sky high and then dives back down at great speed, he then locks onto he drone of Carl like a Tomahawk missile coming out from a war ship! He then turns over and has his wings deployed and then his talons show themselves, his hook-like talons.
Sid sees this and her drone let's go of Carl's drone. Everyone else backs away from what is about to happen. "What the heck is going on?" Carl's drone looks up and sees the sun is blocked by something coming down at great speed. "Ai dios mio!"
Bullet comes crashing down onto the drone and a massive impact of smoke is made. The smoke clears and Bullet flies out and lands onto Luna's shoulder. "Good boy." She hands him a fish.
Everyone cheers at the impressive demonstration of a Stellar's Sea Eagle assault, Bullet bows and even sees the Bald Eagles clapping for him and cheering him on, all the animals were impressed and the sea-borne predators felt like bowing to this bird of prey to fish everywhere.
The dust clears and they see the drone of Carl has been totaled. Tio Carlos picks it up. "I guess we don't need to ground him, or remove his dessert privileges with the loss of his drone. Wow, this thing is not salvageable and is beyond repair." The propellers fall off and shatter on the ground.
"Serves him right, and I am talking to Hector about watching over the place. I knew I should've gotten someone else to watch over him" said Rosa.
Rosa Casagrande has no clue that everyone from the apartment is there at the party. Mrs. Kernicky, Mr. Margarita, Nakamura and Nelson, Alexis, Miss Flores, Miranda, Georgia, Ninja, Mabel and Vito. Wow! Friends from everywhere are there at Sid's birthday party.
Bobby sighs. "Well, all of my respect for Carl is totally gone. He sure knows how to stir up trouble with everyone, and it all started when his birthday was over two months ago."
"At least Sergio is not here to cause any trouble and so glad he's still in his time out cage" said Carlota. "For a long, long time."
Sid then high fives Stella. "This gift is so cool! Next to all the other gifts, this has got to be the best one ever!"
"No problem Sid, from one tech lover to another!" replied Stella.
"Wow. Simon is so lucky to have someone as pretty, smart and awesome as you!" said Sid as she looks to the Filipina.
Stella chuckles. "Yeah he- Wait what did you just say?" This also catches the attention from Simon, Lincoln and Jordan and it became awkward real fast.
Ronnie Anne drags Sid away. "Sorry about that Stella, Sid can be very appreciative with others who do nice and awesome things, which is also another dang reason why she likes me and I like her back."
"Sorry, you're just so cool!" said Sid, she was getting some serious talk with her bestie/crush Ronnie Anne.
Simon, Lincoln, Jordan and the other kids stand next to Stella. "Did she just flirt with you?" asked Simon.
Stella was confused by this. "Yeah, I think so. This was weird."
Lincoln chuckles. "Leave it to Sid to make it happen, Santiago was right, she is a goof ball." Then he gets a message from his phone. "And it seems we're gonna have lots of company tomorrow." Lincoln shows the text messages he got.
Rusty: Sup man! Tomorrow we got so much awesome cool things to talk about and we wanna know the whole scoop on you guys and those posted stuff online.
Polly: Don't forget to tell Lucy her crush is also coming back and I look forward to being the leader of the new Roller Derby gang in Middle School!
Zach: We're rolling, we're chattering and we'll be giggling all the way when we get back to Royal Woods. Hope you're all feeling the funny vibe, because we're heading home tomorrow!
Giggles: Actually tonight, we'll be middling the night when we get back and the stars will be spotlighting onto us as we make our funny entrance back home! Tell Luan I said hi!
Clyde: I'm also coming back home tonight, well not midnight mostly around ten and I'm bringing with me the newest member to our group of friends and I know you'll all like her.
They all smile seeing this, they have some more friendly company to welcome back and soon Jordan's phone rings. Looks like Mollie and Sadie are also making a comeback too.
