Chapter 450.

"When the trouble sparks, again."

(January 16. The Loud House.)

It's late in the afternoon and a black car arrives to the Loud House, and a man in a dark gray suit comes out and walks towards the house. The eagles see this and do not like it at all.

Then the man knocks on the door. "Coming." The person to answer it is Michelle. When she opens it, she is shocked at who it is. "Edgar?!"

Edgar M. Lewis – Age of 55, grayish hair on the side of his head and jet black hair on the top and has a black mustache. Wearing a dark suit and pants with red tie and black gloves. He is the grand uncle of Michelle. He helps run the Lewis condiments and sandwich spread company.

"It is good to see you again, my dear and I know you wish not to…"

"What the hell are you doing here?" Michelle has her arms crossed and she's ticked off at the sight of someone she doesn't want any business with. "Aren't you supposed to be at that damned reunion and what not?"

Edgar sighs. "As much as I would love to go back, but the whole ordeal has been done and Bernard Sr has passed away, last night. He died in his bed and finishes his will and to ensure no one came to make changes, the whole place was defended by his loyal friends and guards."

"Okay, and how the heck did you get here and why come here and tell me this?" asked Michelle. But deep down, she felt upset about the passing of her grandfather.

"I brought him here." She sees Peter Harris come out of the car and remove his hat. "Sorry darlin'. But I was keeping tabs on this whole reunion and made sure they didn't have any schemes to kidnap you or somethin' and then I got word about something goin' on and then I brought this man here to speak with you."

Michelle is still confused. "I still don't understand, though the part of you watching over them I do understand."

Edgar sighs. "Michelle, allow me to read the will."

Michelle didn't seem to have a choice and lets him.

"Alright… As time moved on and as time has been well for me, I haven't been the nicest or kindest man around, and even running the big businesses on the Newspaper, condiments, clothing line and jewelry sites, I have felt as if I have sinned and haven't done a good job with the folks around me."

"I only wish I could've changed my ways and not have been the hoodlum of a man that made everything into a mess and not even be there to support others. Hell, I haven't even been there to support my son when he needed my help, and I just left him to be the second command of the companies."

"All I did was thinking of what was best for the company and what was best for me and not care about those around me, especially the far off family, such as Michelle and some others."

"I didn't make anyone happy when they worked, but the sole reason why they remained was when my son was put into command and his changes made everyone's lives better and I felt proud towards him and disappointed with myself for not being there to even respect his ideals."

"After I heard about what happened to Michelle, I was horrified. Why? Because she was going down the same dark fate I went through and casted other out of the way, and then I saw that she woke up from her ordeals and tried to come back, but the others….. The other family casted her out, as I did with them."

"Then came the sad passing of my other son and his wife and I wanted them to let Michelle in, but they all said otherwise and didn't want her to be part of the whole funeral, and even my son felt disgraced about what the family has done, but we both were outnumbered and left not to say words. If only both of us were brave to speak to family."

"Michelle, if you are reading this, then I know you have changed and made a new path. I recall hearing how you were redeemed for your crimes and have been brought into the open arms of another family and all thanks to the kind words from the boy and his sister. I am truly proud of you and you truly have remade the Lewis name into something better."

"I understand why you wouldn't come to the reunion, I am deeply ashamed and angered by what the others have spoken to you and I am also not pleased with how Oscar and Emily demanded from you of what happened, but forget them, just stick with the future you want and make the most of it with the new family you love the most."

Edgar then gets the other will. "Now, for the rest of his words, this will please you, Michelle."

"I Bernardo Kennedy Lewis Sr, hereby relinquish all control of the companies to my son, Bernardo Kennedy B. Lewis and his wife, Alexandra B. Lewis. The fortune I have, which is more than 500 million dollars, I would split them. The first half will go to my son and his family, and the other half to Michelle Lewis."

"And because my son has a place of his own, I also hereby give all rights and the deed of my mansion, to Michelle Lewis as well. Why? Because she earned it. Sure she strayed away from the path just as I did, but she made up for it and was better than how I would wish to be redeemed for my actions. The mansion is yours and you may do whatever you want with the place."

"Yours truly; Bernardo B. Lewis."

"P. S: Please get rid of that ridiculous cutouts of me from past promos, it's really unnerving and makes me look like Al Capone."

Edgar then looks to Michelle and she's fainted. "Did not see that one coming."

Peter Harris goes over to check on her and so do the rest of the louds. They heard everything and are both shocked and amazed. "I should wait for her to wake up and then hand her the will and the deed to the mansion, and the money is here as well."

They see a Peacekeeper with more than ten briefcases and it has the cash, literally the cash! Oh wow!

Rita looks to the man. "Would you like to come in, sir?"

Edgar nods. "Yes, please. Also, where are the children who are the ones who helped Michelle find a new look into things?"

"They're not here at the moment, they're at the park" replied Luan.

(Ketcham Park.)

Lincoln, Jordan, Ryan, Hope, Gretchen and Angel are busy with the eagle training.

"If they could just ease up on the flight that might help" said Angel as she sees the eagles fly together with her binoculars. "The winds could be unpredictable when the festival contest begins and chances it could be hard for them, they are new eagles to the whole thing."

"Let's see what they can do when they make a chase." Ryan then uses a remote controlled rabbit car and it rides off onto the open fields and this gets the attention from the eagles and they swoop down.

They continue to do this and train with all five eagles. While the other eagles watch them perform these tricks. Technically, this is a training session for the Bald Eagles and not for other kinds of avians, Sorry Nora, Bullet, Apollo and Raptor.

Lincoln does notice the other avians watching them and he has an idea. "How about, we also test their abilities to catch up to something faster?" They all look to the boy. "As I recall, North American Gold Eagles and Sea Eagles are fast when gliding, we should test their gliding capabilities."

The bald eagles come back and Artemis hands Ryan the rabbit car.

This makes Jordan smile. "That does sound like a good idea, and also I recall that Staraptor and Talonflame are quite formidable when taking to great speeds in flight, we could see if they can catch up to a target that is moving at great speeds as they do."

Hope smirks. "Looks like they got a lot more training to do. What do you say guys?"

The five bald eagles look to each other and smile and they look to the others and nod, which means it's a go.

"Then let's get to it" replied Gretchen. The bald eagles take off along with the other avians and begin some training runs in speed and precision and balance.

Luan sits by the bench and she smiles and watches as they do this. 'Dang. They sure know how to go at it when it comes to the whole bald eagle thing, chances they'll want me to tag along as well and also bring the other three with them to test they're eagle training skills.'

Luna then strums her guitar, then a thought comes to her. 'Maybe we can go to the whole event in style, fly in or glide in. Speaking of which, how long has it been since they sky dived?'

But while they all enjoy this moment of eagle training at the park, they fail to notice someone watching them and looking at Lincoln. The friend of Penelope, well on of the friends of Penelope; Joanna Leopold.

'Okay, they all seem so excited to be part of the bald eagle thing and I am so crushing over that boy. How do I get his attention?' She then goes to another bush and she avoids the eyes of the eagles above.

Joanna then sees Luna is still watching over them and so she sneaks by her, Luna does feel something is wrong and she turns around to see nothing. "Hmm, that was odd." She then goes back to keeping an eye on the others.

Joanna then continues to be sneaky and goes through the bushes and she makes her way to a nearby tree and she walks past some Diglet and Turtwig who have no clue what she was even doing and she has no clue what she's hiding in either.

Joanna then sees she's close to them. 'Hmm, maybe if I go over and see what they're doing. I could pretend to trip and then end up falling into the arms of Lincoln, and drag him with me and he kisses me by accident. Yes! Now that sounds like an awesome plan!'

Joanna sees that the others are distracted and Jordan grabs a soccer ball and tosses it back to Margo and the others.

Joanna is ready to begin her plan, but then some vines grab her. "Wait, what?" She had no clue that what she was hiding in, was the bushes from the back of a Grotle and it is not in the mood for what she's even doing. "Hey, put me down."

The Grotle then brings her over the fence of the park. "What? No. Take me back!" But then the Grotle drops her outside the park and she lands onto a puddle. "Dang it!"

"Joanna?" The girl turns around and she sees her friends; Penelope, Hermione, Georgia and Helena. "What the heck are you doing and where the heck were you?" asked Helena.

"You weren't at the hotel where we're all supposed to meet" said Georgia.

"The whole reunion from Penelope's parents is gonna be tonight and when it's all over, then we leave tomorrow morning. We have to be ready to pack our things and head on home to Florida" said Hermione.

Penelope looks at the state of her friend. "What the heck happened to you and what the heck were you doing here and….?" She then sees Lincoln and the others training with the eagles and she looks to Joanna and back to the others.

"Oh no. Oh heck no."

Joanna is now nervous at what they see. "Girls, it's not what you think."

"Really?" asked Georgia. "Because it looks like you're trying to get close to Lincoln. I know you have this small liking for him, but this is just crazy."

"This small crush is gonna turn into a Leslie Silver category crush and all hell will be let loose" said Hermione. "We can see what you're up to and it's delusional."

"We only came to this trip to see the town where Penelope grew up and meet her old friends" said Helena. "We did not come here to mess with others and stalk some folks who are minding their own business!"

Penelope walks towards her. "Joanna, we're taking you back to the hotel. Now!"

Joanna didn't like what they're saying to her and what Penelope was even doing. "No!"

This catches them off guard and they can tell things are gonna go south real fast.

"I am not leaving. You all don't know me that well, do you?" said Joanna. "Well, guess what. I knew Lincoln even before that braided ponytail girl even dated him. I've seen who he is on social media and I knew he was cute and awesome from the start and sure as heck I have never once missed any blogs or videos he made!"

"That was until he stopped after the whole thing with the sisters and video contest thing, and I continued to keep checking what he was up to, then I saw the post and everything else and then the eagles thing and I wanted the chance to meet him and then you came, Penelope."

"You came and gave me the chance and now here we are, in Royal Woods and Lincoln Loud is here and sure as heck I am not gonna let this opportunity slip away from me!"

Penelope and the others then realize. "When you asked if you could come with me, that was a trick?!"

Joanna smirks. "The puzzles out together huh? Well, yes. This was my plan and it was supposed to go great! But you girls wanted to hang out and kept me away from Lincoln, I could've had the chance to tell him now I feel and have him be mine! But no, you dragged me away from him!"

"And how dare you compare me to Leslie Silver, when I am not!"

"Sure heck you are." They all remain silent and turn to the gate and see Lincoln and the others looking at them sternly. Lincoln sighs. "I should've known that Leslie Silver's weird darkness would be back, but I never thought it would be by some creepy stalker who has been stalking me since before I dated Jordan."

Joanna backs up in fear. "Lincoln….. I just…"

"You got some nerve coming here and trying to take my bro away from his girl!" said Luna.

"Someone just couldn't leave things be and come here to cause some trouble" said Ryan.

"Consider our friendship over!" said Hermione, Helena and Georgia, but Penelope had nothing to say. She felt hurt that the girl she thought was her friend would do this and trick her, all to get to Lincoln.

Joanna tries to back away and run, but then Officer Schoffner and Peter Harris are there. "We heard everything. Little girl, you're coming with us, now!" said Peter.

Joanna tries to run, but she's grabbed by Jordan and pinned to the ground. "Stay down punk, you just got yourself into one Leslie Silver sized trouble!"

There's no way out for Joanna. She was in deep, deep trouble.

(Later.)

Luna's car stops in front of the Loud House and coming out is Lincoln and Luna with Bullets, Patriot and Valkyrie. They had finished dropping off Jordan and the others back to their homes with the other avians.

"Dang, what a day" said Luna.

"Yeah, the others won't believe what we nearly got ourselves else into" said Lincoln.

Luna then pulls her brother close to her. "Linc, I am not letting some creepy stalking girl just take you away from Jordan. You're love together is strong and no way am I letting it get broken. You can count on it."

Lincoln smiles hearing this. "Thanks Lunes." He then hugs his big sister and she hugs him back.

They depart from the hug and head back to the house, when they open the door they see the others in the living room.

"Hey guys, what did…? We miss?" asked Lincoln. They see this man and some briefcases by the corner of the room and they're all talking about something.

"Dudes, did we miss something here?" asked Luna.

Rita sighs. "Kids, sit down. There's a lot you guys need to know, and this is Michelle's grand uncle Edgar."

"Pleasure to meet the two who helped Michelle find a better family" said Edgar as he shakes their hands. "Bernard would've been honored to meet you, if he were with us right now."

Lincoln and Luna are both confused. "What the heck is going on?"

They then tell them about what happened and the deed and will that Michelle now owns.

To be continued…..
