Chapter 314.
(August 31. Rosato Residence.)
Lincoln wakes up, the sound of the birds and the eagles outside of the house is enough to wake him and he sees the time on his pink clock is now 6:30 am. He then closes his eyes and hugs the warm pillow besides him.
Then Lincoln opens his eyes and sees he was not in his room, that is not his alarm clock and that is not a pillow he's hugging and to be safe to know, he's still wearing his pajamas.
Lincoln realizes that he's in the Rosato home. He then sees that the pillow he's hugging is none other than his girlfriend, Jordan Rosato and she's clinging to him like he was a stuffed prize teddy bear from the fair.
Lincoln then recalls about what had happened yesterday, involving Andrew and some goons he hired and the sick and twisted plan they had. 'Right, Jordan was so scared about the whole issue with those boys and they're twisted plan that she wanted me to stay at her place and keep her company. I can't blame her.'
Lincoln then looks to the time once more. 'I think I should see what's cooking in the kitchen, some breakfast in bed would make things feels nice for the two of us.'
Lincoln is about to get out of bed, but then he's pulled back. He then sees Jordan is holding his arm, but her eyes are still shut. "Don't leave me Linc, please don't." He can hear the sadness in her voice.
Lincoln chuckles. "Jordan, I have to go and check what's happening down stairs." He tries again to leave, but then Jordan pulls him back and she cuddle close to him and not letting go.
Lincoln sighs. "Jordan, as much as I would to stay here and play the married couple, we both have to start our day and not spend the rest of it in bed. So, let's get going now and see what your parents are up to."
Jordan ignores his words and hugs him tighter. "Just a little longer, maybe an hour or two."
Lincoln smirks. "This is getting kinda ridiculous and a bit too far, perhaps we can spend the rest of this nice and cute moment when we have the free time." He then breaks free from his girlfriend's grip and attempts to leave once again, only to be dragged back to the bed and back to the cuddling, but now he's looking at a now awake and upset Jordan.
"We're cuddling here for an hour and we'll get out of bed when I say so or I swear dodge ball will be far more than a merciless sport for you, understand?"
Lincoln is shocked and also turns red. Why? He's shocked because of her commanding mood swings and blushing because he always finds her very attractive and hot when she's angry.
Lincoln then lays there and sighs. "Okay ma'am, yes ma'am."
"Good." Jordan then closes her eyes and smiles and she hugs him closer and doesn't let go. Lincoln looks to Jordan and smiles, he kisses her forehead and he hugs her back.
Unknown to them, Rick and Jesse heard this from the other side of the door and walk away from the room. "Wow! Who knew our little girl was that dominant in bed? And they're not even a couple yet" said Rick.
Jesse chuckles. "I think I recall a couple three years about their age and doing the same thing, perhaps maybe she got that trait from that said woman." She then goes down the stairs, leaving her husband to recall that one.
Rick sighs and chuckles. "Yup, this is just like what we did." He then follows his wife down the stairs.
(Three hours later.)
Lincoln and Jordan get out of the house and have Lincoln's overnight bag with him. "You think the other gals are okay after what happened yesterday?" asked Lincoln.
"If I can recall, Simon was given permission to stay over at Stella's and Liam was given permission to stay over at Tabby's and the same went to Clyde and Chloe, though I think Clyde is staying at the guest bedroom at the Curda house" replied Jordan. "I mean, they are pretty shaken after what happened yesterday."
"True, anyway I wanna see if we can spend some time as the eight of us. You, me, Clyde, Chloe, Simon, Stella, Liam and Tabby" replied Lincoln. "Just to make things kinda nice and less stressful for all of us."
"That sounds like a good idea, now where the heck is your big sister at?" said Jordan.
They then spot the purple Ferrari arrive and it stops in front of the house and coming out is Lincoln's big sister/roommate: Luna Loud. "Sup dudes, I can only guess Jordan and you are gonna be chillin' with your pals right?"
Lincoln nods. "You know it sis. Did you bring my bike?"
Luna gets out. "Sure did bro." She goes to the back and she opens the trunk and pulls his bike out, Lincoln goes to her and hands her his bag and she places it into the back of her car. "I can only guess that when you woke up this morning, she didn't wanna let you leave."
Lincoln chuckles and turns red. "Yeah, she did and she was pretty dominant." They see Jordan smirk and cross her arms as she goes to her bike, she then pets Ajax and the little dog races back into the house.
Luna also chuckles. "Hell has no fury to a woman's scorn."
Lincoln also chuckles. "Hell has no fury to the Dodge ball Queen's wrath."
Jordan then goes to them. "Loud has no fury compared to the might of me."
That one kinda left them a bit confused and also somewhat scared. Luna then hugs Lincoln and kisses his forehead. "Have fun with your lady and stay safe, I'll make sure your things will be alright at home."
Lincoln hugs her back. "Thanks sis." They then break the hug and Luna heads back into her car and drives off. They wave goodbye as she heads back to the loud house. Lincoln then looks to Jordan. "So, shall we meet with our friends?"
"Let's race!" said Jordan. She then takes off first at great speed.
Lincoln chuckles. "Oh it is so on!" Lincoln then picks up the pace and catches up with her, and with the eagles flying high above keeping an eye on them. Bullet is not there, he's with Luna.
(Gus' Games n' Grub.)
Lincoln and Jordan make it to the arcade and they see their friends waiting for them. Well, not all of their pals and gals, just the ones they were planning to hang out today.
"Hey guys, so any word on what the others are up to?" asked Lincoln.
"Trent, Kat, Lance, Joy, Artie and Cookie are having a triple date at Jean-Juan's" replied Clyde.
"Sadie, Mollie, Christina and Jenny are showing Emma around the mall today" said Chloe.
"Richie and Flat Tire are chilling with their rides at the skater's park" replied Simon.
"Rusty and Polly are hanging out with your sister Lynn at the roller derby's arena" said Stella.
"Zach and Giggles were here, but then they left to help Luan with a gig" said Tabby.
"That's about all we know, unless ya'll wanna know what Haiku is doing" said Liam.
"No thanks, so let's get this hang out started" said Jordan. "Also, when Linc and I were headed here, we thought about a small wager." The eagles land down on the tree and smile at this scheme.
This got them interested. "What kind of wager are you talking about Mr. and Mrs. Jordacoln?" asked Tabby. This made the others chuckle.
"Well, how about the couple with the least number of tickets has to buy lunch for everyone?" said Lincoln. "But we all split for paying the drinks, just to be fair, also we'll be spending only one hour of gaming. So everyone has to keep track of their watches or the stopwatch on their phones."
"Hot diggity dang! Now we're talkin'!" said Liam. "Let's see who can buy everyone the new special supreme meat and cheese pizza!" They all look to what Liam is pointing at.
On the menu of the screen above the cash register, is a large pizza that seems like the same size of the table. Topped with cheese, pepperoni, bacon and sausages, and to make it sound better, cheese stuffed crusts! And they come with garlic sticks and there's a choosing to add hot sauce or not.
They all look to the pizza with stars in their eyes and mouths watering. They then stop. "Okay, looks like we're all on the same page" said Simon. "Let's get in there and see which couple is superior!"
They all head into the arcade and get to some games, and luckily they all have lots of tokens and the spirit of competition for the glory and pizza. Mostly for the pizza.
Dana and Becky notice this and look to each other. "Should we keep score of what they're doing or not?" asked Dana.
"Let's leave them be, they're all kinda cute tag teaming and going against each other" said Becky. "But I do feel kinda bad for Lincoln on what's gonna happen this week."
Dana also knows. "Yeah, won't be the same for him when September 4 comes rolling in." They both continue to watch and do their last day of work at the arcade, they were going to miss this.
(One hour of separate couples gaming later.)
They all gather to the table and each couples have plastic bags with the tickets they earned. "Okay, so did you guys count your tickets?" asked Clyde. "Chloe and I got 4,955 tickets."
Chloe shows them the bag with lots of tickets. "We were aces on that baking game, and baked us a storm of a win!" Chloe and Clyde high give each other. "What about you guys."
Liam smirks. "5,691 tickets people! Like milking cows on the farm, or pulling out weeds in the garden."
Tabby then shows them their bag with lots of tickets. "We came, we rocked and we dance, dance all the way to victory town!" Tabby and Liam fist bump and do a rock and roll pose.
Stella and Simon show them their tickets. "Read em and weep gang! Simon and I have 7,884 tickets! So, Whos' awesome now?!" said Stella.
Simon chuckles. "And all we had to do, was race through the roads like bats outta hell!" They then look to Lincoln and Jordan. "So, how many tickets did the duo of dodge ball get?
Lincoln pulls out a large plastic bag. "That doesn't look like a big score loud" said Tabby. But then Jordan pulls out two more plastic bags with tickets and this shocks them. "Me and my bloody big mouth!"
"All bets are off or put aside guys, because we got ourselves 22,912 tickets dudes!" said Jordan. "And you're all wondering how the heck we had this superior score!"
"All we had to do was bank shot non-stop and show you guys how well the ball toss is made, sure as heck my big sis Lynn, would be proud of me" replied Lincoln. He high fives with Jordan and she kisses his cheek, and he kisses her cheek.
They're all shocked by the tickets. "Whoa! I could drown in those tickets right now" said Liam.
"So, I guess Chloe and I are buying the pizza then" said Clyde. "I guess that sounds fair, but what the heck are you guys gonna do with your tickets anyway?"
Lincoln and Jordan smirk and look to the prize booth. "We both know what we want" replied Jordan.
(Minutes later.)
Clyde and Chloe had finished placing the order for the special supreme meat and cheese pizza and the others have gotten the prizes they wanted. Some of them got some key chains, cell phone cases, plushies and stickers.
But Lincoln and Jordan got this number of tickets, not just for the pizza win but also because of the limited time only prizes from the arcade prize wall at the very top of the place. Rakan and Xayah, two figurines from League of Legends.
"That there has got to be the best prizes through the whole arcade!" said Liam.
"Trent, Lance and Artie are so going to be minds blown from this" said Simon. "I know I am."
"Dude! I didn't think they even had those prizes here!" said Stella. "And how come we didn't even notice them?"
"Well, they are at the very top so it makes sense that no one else would've noticed them due to the many plush toys surrounding the spot" said Tabby.
"How did you two even see those through all the other prizes?" asked Chloe.
"It was last week, before the place was packed with plush toys. Linc and I spotted the two action figures of our top used champs from the game and we both needed a plan to get our hands on them" replied Jordan. "And so, we both came up with some kind of plan to make a wager for the next time we hang out."
"And this seemed like the right time. Sure wish the others were here to hang out with us" replied Lincoln. "But I question, how the heck did Gus' Games n' Grub get their hands on a prize like this?"
Dana and Becky arrive with their large pizza and place it on the table and then hand them the drinks and garlic sticks. "Those prizes were found by our boss at a yard sale and so he bought them for a good price and then put them up as prizes" replied Dana.
"Maybe next time you kids can gun for the nest top prize" said Becky. They all look to the prize booth, and they see the new top prize on the top shelf. A transformable action figure of Blackout from the film, Transformers.
Dana and Becky then head back to their work and the kids are shocked by this. "Dude, now that is something we have to tell the other guys. From what I heard, Lance is a huge fan of the franchise and so is his dad" said Simon.
Stella chuckles. "It's gonna be a warzone in this place when kids come in and see the prize."
"Also, we know that the prize action figures you two got are a couple in the game" said Clyde. "Where the heck are you gonna put them?"
The action figures of the Charmer and the Rebel have a platform that combines and makes them into the couple as they are in their lore and in-game, Lincoln and Jordan know they wouldn't want them to be separated then they both have an idea and look to each other and nod.
They then look to their friends and give them an answer. "The Tree House."
"Huh, that sounds fair, they are a couple and you two sometimes hang out as a couple in the tree house" said Tabby.
They all take a slice of the large pizza. "Guys, this is so big I don't think we can finish this ya'll!" said Liam.
"Then we're glad we came in" said Richie and Flat Tire, followed by Christina, Jenny, Sadie, Mollie and Emma.
"Wow! You guys got the new pizza?!" said Jenny. "That thing is so huge! And I thought the picture would lie! This is something I should tell my auntie Katherine!"
"Take a seat guys, there's plenty of pizza for everyone. Though we're gonna need more drinks" said Lincoln. They all take their seats and grab a slice, and each slice is long.
"Mind telling us how the heck you guys got this super-sized pizza?" asked Flat Tire.
Jordan chuckles. "Let's just say we made a wager and placed down some bets on who wins and who buys lunch, depending on the number of tickers from each couple."
"Classic wager based Jordan." They turn around and see Kat, Trent, Lance, Joy, Artie and Cookie come in. "Hey guys, glad we could make it" said Kat.
"What the heck happened? We thought you guys went to Jean-Juan's?" said Jenny.
"We went there and we found out that the place is closed for renovations and won't opened until the 3rd of September" replied Artie. "Lance's uncle forgot to tell him that one yesterday."
"So we decided to come here and chill with you guys" said Cookie.
"Also, we ran into Giggles, Zach, Rusty and Polly earlier, we asked them if they wanted to join us. But they were planning to go and check out the new food truck in town" replied Trent.
They take their seats and take some slices, while they called in for an order of extra drinks. Chloe looks to Emma. "So, how was the mall?"
"Awesome!" said Emma. "We went shopping, checked out the electronics, went clothes shopping, saw a movie, went to shop at Reiningers, looked at the book store and then went shopping for shoes."
Mollie chuckles, "She really, really liked the mall. Almost like she wanted to live there."
"We didn't have anything to eat, and the movie we watched was enough to make up for our early morning mall trip, and the awesome part was that everything being sold at the mall was at 75percent off!" said Christina.
"Well, it is the return to school sale" said Lincoln. "Leni told me about it and I could only guess Emma met her."
"Heck yeah I did, she's so nice and so knowledgeable with fashion sense and she helped me pick out the right dress, and it comes with a cute scarf and some really cool shoes!" said Emma.
Sadie chuckles. "She really, really loved the mall." They all chuckled hearing this and it also explains why Sadie, Mollie, Jenny, Christina and Emma had so many gabs from Reiningers.
"We also ran into some group of girls who were kicked out of a shoe shopping place at the mall" said Christina. "Apparently, from what Leni's friend Tad heard, they kept bugging the customers and saying that the shoes don't fit them and made them look bad."
"Those had to be the same girls that Leni told you about, I haven't even gotten any info on them" said Jenny. "And sure as heck, I am not talking to them to get that info."
Lincoln and Jordan knew this could spell trouble, from what Leni told them and now this, They had to steer clear and try and figure out who is this new rich girl and her friends and what the heck do they want.
"Well, the important thing is, that you girls didn't run into them, so we're all safe. For now" replied Jordan.
Simon then looks to Richie and Flat Tire. "So, what the heck are you guys doing here?"
"Skater's park is also closed, apparently there is an alligator that wandered into the park overnight and I think Lincoln's little sister and Jordan's god father are handling it" replied Richie.
Lincoln chuckles. "Classic Lana. This sure is gonna be one awesome hang out we're gonna have, and the last hang out of the month."
"We're gonna have the same one, and we'll mark it as the first group hang out of the month of September, the month we all make out way to Middle School!" said Jordan. They all cheer.
"Sure wish Rusty, Polly, Zach and Giggles were here" said Liam. He then looks to the door of the arcade. "I think I spoke too soon."
"What up guys?" said Rusty, he and Polly with Giggles and Zach come in. "Wow! Now that is a pizza!"
"The food truck never showed up, broke down when it arrived into town" replied Zach. "So, what'd we miss? And how the heck did you guys get your hands on this giant of a pizza?!"
"Looks like we'll all be scarfing down more than a broken truck loads!" said Giggles. She and Zach laugh.
"Oh yeah! Time for some big meat and cheese energy refills! Dang shame LJ couldn't be here, she went off to Burpin' Burger with Margo and the Roller Derby girls" said Polly.
Joy then sees Lance looking at something. "Lance? Lance are you okay? Darling?" She then sees what he's looking at and so do the others.
"Yeah, we have a lot to tell you guys about what we all did here" said Lincoln.
"Talk later, gotta go!" Lance heads off to an arcade game that can give him the most tickets, and obviously he is good at bank shots.
"Well, looks like he'll be occupied" said Jordan. They all chuckle and continue to talk about what they all plan to do, when September rolls in tomorrow.
To be continued …..
A/N: This is an aftermath to the incident from last chapter, and I thought it would be nice for them to hang out and place some bets and win some things. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
