Chapter 358.

In collaboration with Avenger44, again.

(Rosato Mansion.)

Classes are done for the day and everyone is back home, Jordan's home has all of her gal friends, okay so some of them. Stella, Tabby, Joy, Kat, Cookie, Jenny, Christina, Paige, Renee and Gamer's Club Leader Allison and Mollie and Sadie are there, they're fever is gone and they're back on their feet.

"Okay, so we all know why we're here right?" asked Jordan as she sits on her bed and pets her dog, Ajax.

"Yeah, tomorrow's Lincoln's birthday and you wanna make sure he gets the best gift you can find right?" asked Stella.

"That's correct and chances we might have an issue and we all know what the issue is" said Jordan.

They all groan in annoyance. "Leslie Silver!"

"The heck is with that girl and her nerves to go and see Lincoln, when he's not even dating her!" said Joy. "Heck, she's not even family to the louds and everyone hates her."

"Sure wish I was there to beat her into submission, then she'd regret coming back and trying something dumb! Though, I'd rather get her stupid friend, Karen" said Mollie.

"Oh heck, we'd like to go for some action too girl. We wanna take them down for thinking they can do what they want and in the hospital of all places too!" said Kat.

"Be greatful that Jordan did the damage for you girls" replied Tabby. "We still have the footage and thanks to Jenny, everyone has seen it and it ain't coming down from social media for a long, long time."

"I can't believe you took down Leslie and her friends and gave them the hurt of a life time! That sure was scary and some of us are hoping you won't do this to the rest of us on Thursday when dodge ball comes around" replied Cookie.

Jordan can see they're all a bit uneasy after what Jordan did to Leslie and her friends. "Girls, girls. Relax. I won't hurt any of my friends and sure as heck Leslie and her posse are not my friends, and I don't think I wanna use that same ruthless force on you gals either. Just on Leslie and her crew."

They all sigh in relief. "You think we can be part of the dodge ball team Jordan? Since Coach will be busy on Thursday, we can have it on Friday instead" asked Christina.

"Sure, I want my closest friends to be part of the same team so we can all take down Leslie and her crew" replied Jordan. "We will take them down and show them how we roll."

"Still, you gave Karen and Regina wedgie's in that room and almost everyone saw what they were wearing underneath! That was intense, scary and also awkward" replied Joy. "Never thought Regina for the ducky pattern type of gal, or Karen to be the goldfish kinda gal either."

"Girl, weren't you in trouble with your parents? Especially using swear words as a threat?" asked Kat.

"They weren't angry with me and said I did what I had to do to stop them from making demands and sure as heck everyone else didn't mind, we all hate Leslie and her friends" replied Jordan.

"So true!" They all reply and chuckle.

Jordan chuckles. "Now, I have already set the gift for Lincoln ready, yesterday I went to the one place that would make things better, the same place where Linc and I made the bracelet Luna is wearing and now I just have to go there and pick up what I made."

Tabby and Stella smile. "So that's what you were doing yesterday while Stella and I were also shopping for a gift for Linc, nice call. But did you really finish it?" asked Tabby.

Jordan sighs. "Sadly now, but the man said he knows what I plan to make and he said he finished it for me and told me to go and save Lincoln. He was nice to do this for me and after Linc was sent to the hospital, he contacted me and said he finished what I was making and that I should pick it up today, so I have the gift locked and loaded and ready for tomorrow."

Renee claps. "Nice one girl, as skilled and tactical as Lincoln and as awesome and durable as Lincoln, I think. We have to get him a gift though and I know what to get our pal."

"Same here" replied the other girls. They all chuckle.

"By the way, why aren't you at the louds checking on Lincoln?" asked Kat.

"I decided to let him have this one day to himself, okay not fully himself he has company in the form of Michelle Lewis, since Luna has to go to school still" replied Jordan.

"I wonder how they're doing right now" said Stella. She then checks the clock. "Also, we should get going and pick up the gift Jordan made for Lincoln, and then we shop for the gifts we plan for him too."

They all nod and head out of the mansion and make their way to their bikes and roller skates and they make their way for the Royal Woods Mall.

But they had no clue, that a limo Wisa nearby and listening to what they're saying, a small radar dish is sitting on the roof and inside, Gretchen was listening in. "Looks like they're on the move as we speak."

"Then let's get going girls" replied Leslie. "I wanna beat Jordan to this gift she has for Lincoln, and I will be the one who gives it to him and he will love me!"

"One issue" replied Hope. "What did she makes for Lincoln and where the heck is the place she went to yesterday?"

"Doesn't matter" said Karen. "We'll just go to each store and ask them, if they don't fess up then we can always bribe them!" She then holds a large wad of cash.

"Oh yeah, now this is a plan and sure as heck it is gonna work! Leslie gets the gift and she hands it over to Lincoln and he will love her and we will become the top popular group in all of Royal Woods and then, the whole of Michigan!" said Chastity.

Then their phones go off and they all see the footage still trending. "This has to end! I do not want any creepy jerks keep making comments about what happened to us!" said Regina in embarrassment.

"It will be over soon girls, just be patient" replied Leslie. She was still angry with what happened to her and her friends from that incident with Jordan beating them up and then threatening him. They are now the laughing stock and hated at school and the comments and views keep going, and most of the comments are from creepy people who liked seeing Regina and Karen get hurt from Jordan.

Leslie sighs and then she looks to the time. "Driver! The mall, now!" They then drive off to the Royal Woods Mall.

(The Loud House.)

Lincoln is in the backyard underneath the tree and tuning his guitar, he then sighs and looks to the sky, then someone joins him, Michelle Lewis. "Need some company Linc?"

Lincoln smiles. "Thanks, sure wish I could go to school today, but I have to stay home and let my body rest after recovering from what happened." Just then Michelle hugs him. "Michelle?"

Michelle sheds some tears and hugs him tight. "I didn't wanna see you get hurt. We thought you were going to go critical! We all didn't wanna lose you Linc, we all wanted you to pull through and it hurt us all seeing you like that."

Lincoln then understands why she's like this. To Michelle, the louds, Rosato's and those she knows are her family, possibly her only family and she doesn't wanna lose them, not even Lincoln or Luna.

Lincoln then hugs her and does his best to calm her down. Tomorrow is his birthday and he is ready for what happens and he knows everyone has a gift ready for him. They then depart from the hug. "Sorry about that, I got kinda emotional" replied Michelle.

Lincoln chuckles. "Don't be, when Luna isn't around you kinda remind me of her, sorta and I know we're all family and you're part of it too, so we don't wanna lose each other."

Michelle smiles and she kisses his forehead. "Come on. Let's go and see if the cookies are done." They both get up and head back into the house, Lincoln whistles and Patriot comes down and lands onto his shoulder.

The other eagles are busy keeping an eye on everyone else and where are the other louds at? Busy with their own things, Luna and Sam? Royal Woods Mall. Wait a minute, oh no.

(Royal Woods Mall.)

Leslie and her friends arrive first. "We did it! We beat Rosato here! Now all we have to do, is go in there and find this gift she plans to give to Loud!" said Hope.

"Then let's get to it girls!" said Leslie. They all walk to the mall and the doors open, they take in the smell. "You smell that girls?"

Karen smells the air. "The smell of a bad mall that needs to be demolished for good?"

"No! That is the smell of my victory and I am going to win this day and Lincoln will be mine, Rosato will lose!" said Leslie.

Chastity then sees the signs. "I didn't know it was a sale today."

Leslie sees the signs too. "What?" Then, without warning, Leslie and her friends are trampled by tons of shoppers, who are all teenagers and are there for the big October Week sale and not all of them are teens, some are grownups and kids.

Leslie and her friends soon groan in pain from being trampled and then Jordan and her friends arrive. "Alright, so I go to the Pawn shop and I get the gift and then…." Jordan then look down at what she's stepping on. The back of Leslie. She then steps to the side. "Didn't know there were doormats in the mall now."

The others chuckle at this joke. "Okay, so we all split up!" said Tabby. They all nod and head off to different directions. Jordan heads to the pawnshop, where she and Lincoln made Luna's gift.

Leslie then gets up, dazed and dirty. "Stop…. Stop her! Someone…. Stop her!" She then falls back down, then Hope helps her back up and the others also get up.

"That…. What the heck just happened?" asked Regina.

"Everything hurts, that was so painful!" said Gretchen.

"Why didn't we see this coming?" asked Chastity, then she realizes. "Oh right, we don't care about this mall. Except for Gryphons' shopping."

Karen is seething with rage. "Who did those teens think they are to just do that to us?!"

Hope then sighs in relief. "At least it's over."

Then they get trampled again, but by some tourists who came to check out the mall and their Halloween sale and then comes in the elderly from Sunset Canyon, and then coming in is Scoots and her biker friends, now those are some big bad boots!

As the dust clear, Leslie and her friends are covered in boot and shoe prints and tire marks from Scoots. Karen reaches to Hope and hits her in the back of the head. "Ow."

"Never say it's over again!" said Karen.

Then coming in and trampling them again are the little girls from the pageants and they all seek a costume for the next pageant and with them leading is Lola and Lana, riding Lulu! Yeah!

Then coming in are Goth's and Emo's all looking for something spooky and creepy, followed by some preteens who are planning to look for some comic books and the latest video games, and then coming next are preschoolers and they're parents. Halloween is coming and they need new costumes and decorations and lots and lots of candy!

Leslie then gets up. "This is not my day!" She then helps her friends. "Get up now! Where the heck did Jordan say she was going?!"

"Umm, something about a shop" said Regina. "I can't remember, my head hurts so much!"

Gretchen gets up and dusts herself. "We have to find her, get the gift and hand it over to Lincoln on his birthday and then we win!" She then falls back to the ground, groaning in pain still. "Did we win?"

They all get moving and Chastity drags Gretchen and they search for Jordan Rosato.

(Later.)

Jordan comes out of the pawnshop and she says her goodbyes and thanks you to the man who runs the place, who is also the man who helped them with the gift for Luna back then and she looks to the orange and white box she's carrying and the name on it, Jordacoln 4ever.

'This is it, this will make Lincoln's day the best birthday ever! He is bound to love this, but I know that for Lincoln, he just wants to see all of his friend and family and loved ones there to celebrate his 13th birthday.'

"Rosato!" She stops and sees Leslie and her friends they all look exhausted and also they look like they got hurt, a lot! "We….. We have been searching all over for you! Were you there the whole time?!"

Jordan is confused at them, they look like they lost their shoes, their socks and their clothes have some cuts and they look like they got trampled again and Hope is being dragged by Karen. "What the heck happened to you six?"

(What did happen?)

They first check Reiningers, but were then kicked out by Leni, Fiona and Miguel and then a mob of Teens run in and go for the sale, which they get trampled on. Leading the teens are Ruby, Jackie and Mandee.

Leslie and her gals check the party store, but there's a sale on Halloween party supplies and Luan, Benny and the clowns club races in and crush the rich girls with their clown shoes and each clown shoe was squirting water on them.

They head for the comic book store and they get trampled by kids and preteens who are checking on the latest comic books and leading them is Renee and Clyde.

They check the electronics store and again get trampled by some geeks, nerds and others who wanna see what's new and with them is Stella and Simon.

They then go for the gaming store and once again they are trampled by a lot of kids and gamer's, but the ones who were the most in doing this was Laurence and Allison and the members of the Gamer's club. Lynn Jr was also there and runs over Leslie and her friends, why?!

Leslie and her friends check the pet store, but the animals escaped and they run over Leslie and her friends and some of them attack the girls and took their shoes and socks, Lana helps get the animals back into the store.

(And now we're back.)

Jordan looks to them with her arms crossed for an answer, but they do not wanna tell her what happened. "Well, what the heck happened to you six?"

"That's not important!" yelled Leslie. She then looks to the Rosato girl with a face if anger. "Hand over the box, now!"

Jordan does not like where this is going and she puts it into her pocket. "Not gonna happen, Silver! This is for Lincoln's birthday and you are not taking it from me!"

Leslie smirks. "I wasn't asking!" She then snaps her fingers. "Get her girls!" But she gets no response. "Girls, I said get her!" She then sees her friends are all exhausted.

"Sure, just give us some….. time to recover" said Regina. She leans onto the wall.

"We'll take her down, just hold on Leslie." Karen leans onto the wall as well and she grabs a water bottle and drinks it. "Oh god everything hurts still."

Leslie sees all of her friends are all down and she looks to Jordan. "That's it, I'll do it myself! Hand over the box now Rosato!"

"Or what?!" Luna and Sam come into view and both of them have some large boxes gift wrapped. "What the hell do you think you're gonna do next, Silver?" asked Luna in anger, he bracelet changes color to red and her eyes are blue again.

Then all of Jordan's friends arrives and then comes Jackie, Mandee, Ruby, Luan, Benny, Lola, Lana, Lucy, Lynn Jr, Leni and Lisa. "So, what's your move filthy rich all over?" asked Luan, which she and Benny laugh. Because she's dirty from the many times she got run over by everyone.

"Better make you're move, or what we do next is gonna be a beat down that's as equal worse as what Jordan and Luna can do!" said Lynn Jr as she gets into a Quarterback's position and has some war paint on her face.

Leslie realizes, she's outgunned and outnumbered. She can't get what Jordan has for Lincoln and she knows she could get into trouble, especially from Lincoln and the law. Leslie then calms down. "Fine! Girl's let's go!"

Leslie then walks away and her friends drag themselves to where she's going.

Jordan sighs in relief. "Thanks for the backup guys, but I could've taken her down myself."

"Hey, nobody messes with a loud and sure enough one day you will be a loud" replied Leni. This makes Jordan turn red and chuckle nervously, she could only imagine her future with Lincoln.

"Come on dudes, let's break this up and head on home. We got some gifts to keep safe, especially from Silver and her posse, and I know where to keep them" replied Luna. The louds, Jordan and her friends make their way out of the mall and head towards a Dropship? Wait what?

They bring their bikes and vehicles with them and it takes off to the one place where the gifts have been transferred to, not Michelle's house, the Gladius Battlecruiser. Let's see Leslie take them now!

Leslie grits her teeth at what they just said, she overheard them and is now angry. 'She will not have that future with Lincoln! I will be the one who'll be last named loud, or better yet I can change Lincoln's last name to Silver and I will win!' She sees all of her friends still down. "Oh suck it up and let's get going. We can find a gift for Lincoln's at Gryphon's shopping." She then walks off to the shopping place.

All of Leslie's friends look to each other, shocked and confused. "We should've done that earlier?" asked Hope. They then get up and follow their leader.

To be continued….
