Chapter 461.
"The bully is dealt with."
(February 27, the Loud House.)
Lynn Sr is busy making breakfast, he then hears the sound of the pets coming. "Alright, glad you all came to eat guys." He then places their food onto their plates, and even adds some bacon to Charles food bowl.
Then he sees the empty food bowl. "Huh, who's this one to?" Then he sees the new dog in the family bark and smile. "Oh right, sorry Victorie. I forgot you became part of the family."
He adds some dog food and some bacon as well and this makes the pure-bred Maltese smile and eat her food. Charles was happy for her and then goes back to eating, but keeps glancing back to the other dog in the family.
The eagles come into the kitchen and of course Lynn Sr gives some food to Patriot, Valkyrie and Bullet's, since the other eagles are now living at Jordan's home. I guess they grew up and have no flown from the nest.
They look to the white dog who is eating her food.
They recall how she came to be part of the family. After the issue with Lacey St. Clair, and what she did to her dog, that was a sign of animal abuse and that the dog knew better as to not harm another person who didn't do anything wrong.
So, the parents agreed to let the louds have Victorie, as a punishment for what Lacey did to her. Victorie didn't wanna be part of this, but she had no choice and seeing her owner not own up for what she did made her go into the act of stopping her owner.
Now, Victorie is a Loud! She's proud of it, and can have friends and do what normal dogs would do for fun.
Lynn Sr smiles seeing the new dog happy with the food and enjoying her new animal friends and then goes back to making breakfast and then he sees the rest of the family arrive. "Hey kids, time to eat and I made sure I made all your favorites for today, as requested from last night."
The father of the loud kids hands them plates and on them are the food they wanted to eat for the day, and before they go to school.
Lincoln looks to the new dog in the family and pets her. "Hey there Victorie, you look happy today, girl."
Victorie barks and licks his hand and this makes Lincoln chuckles. "She sure is affectionate."
They all go over to the table and eat their food. "After what that girl did to her, Victorie seems more like a normal dog now. She can finally do what she wants and not get too pampered by that mean girl."
Lucy looks to Victorie and gives her and Charles some bacon. "Sigh, even though she is white and looks like a preppy fancy dog. I'm okay with her, she needs a family, one that won't push her away and demand her to act like those fancy dogs."
Lisa then drinks her orange juice. "From the many studies of our pets, it is not right to force an animal companion into something they do not wish to do. But, it is necessary to consult if that said pet wants or needs to be part of that said action that the owner wishes for."
"There has to be equality and balance between man and pet, er dog, well whatever animal companion that person has. Much like Lincoln and Jordan with Patriot and Valkyrie, they share a bond of friendship along with trust and a competitive spirit and need to keep other safe."
Lynn JR eats a protein bar with her scrambled eggs. "Lisa's got a point. But, what the heck do we do with Victorie anyway? I mean, she's kinda a show dog type of pooch and chances she'll wanna compete in…"
They then see Victorie look away and look upset hearing that.
"Or, maybe not. Looks like she doesn't wanna be part of the next dog show. When is it again?"
"Next week, and this one will be held at the Royal Woods Theater" replied Leni. "Jackie and Mandee told me about it, after they were walking their neighbor's dogs to earn some cash."
"Well, I guess this little lady will be pooching it in the cul-de-sac for a while, and she'll be dog gone happy to be the canine she was barking to be!" Luan laughs at her joke and so does Lynn Sr.
Victorie tilts her head to Luan, trying to figure out what she just said. It made no sense to her.
Lucy notices this. "Yes Victorie, sometimes we don't know if it was supposed to be funny or not."
Luna pets the dog. "Welcome to the family little pooch dude, you're gonna like being part of the louds, and with some good animal pals too. Especially the bats and Lana's reptile and froggy friends."
"Speaking of which." Lynn Sr has a tray. "I gotta get upstairs and bring the twins their breakfast, they still can't go around moving until their fully recovered and nice of Michelle to sleep over to keep an eye on them."
He then grabs another tray of food with some coffee and he balances it onto his head. I should bring her food up there too. Be right back kids." He then leaves the kitchen and walks to the stairs and up to the bedroom.
"Well, looks like Luce change has to only keep an eye on Lisa for the day" said Luna.
"Sigh, it's gonna be rough to explain to the other kids about what happened to Lola and Lana" replied Lucy. "But, chances that word got out and now the rest of the school knows and they're either gonna come to me or to Lisa to know how they're doing."
"This is going to be a long day for the both of us" replied Lisa.
Luan then questions something. "We still don't know what happened to that Lacey kid. Any word on what's going on with her?"
They all look towards their brother. "Not yet, but chances I'll hear about what's going on with her when I get to school. We are law suiting them with the help from Peter Harris and the Warwick family helping us out."
They all continue to eat their food, and are hoping for some good news from the outcome from yesterday.
(Royal Woods Middle School.)
Lincoln comes out of Luna's car and he waves goodbye to his big sister, and then he meets up with the rest of his friends, and also Jordan.
Lincoln smiles seeing them all. "Hey guys, so what's the hot scoop?"
Gretchen then tells him. "It's about Lacey St. Clair."
Lincoln did not like that name, it almost reminded him of Leslie Silver. "Alright. What's the word on her?"
"The lawsuit has been made and done" said Jordan. "And there's gonna be a court hearing tomorrow and it's gonna be a private thing, as requested by the St. Clair family, but I doubt their daughter can get out of the mess she made when we have the proof."
"The reason why they want the whole thing to be private is because they don't want their reputation ruined if they lose" said Jenny. "But, I'll be there and then I'll put it on the news blog."
"Not much folks are gonna be there, except for the kids who were at the park through the whole thing" said Hope. "Jordan's god father had to look for each of them from the footage, and asked the parents if they can come to court to speak what they encountered."
Lincoln is confused by this. "Weird, the other day when it all happened. They seemed okay with us having the dog, Victorie."
"That's the thing Lincoln." Ryan tells him what happens next. "They didn't want to be charged with the issue of the animal abuse crime, but they seem to be unwilling to be law suited by the louds after what Lacey did, but they have no choice and so they countered with the court thing."
Lincoln sighs. "Well, I guess we still got a battle to win, or better yet, we got a battle to fight in the middle of a war, so we have to win on both fronts and make sure that Lacey pay for what she did to my sisters!"
"And we will win." Jordan goes over and gives him a quick kiss. "Whatever happens Lincoln, we will make sure Lacey doesn't win the whole thing and get away with it."
"Because chances that if she's found not guilty and is able to walk away from this, she might do it again" said Clyde. "You guys need to come up with some kind of punishment so she doesn't do this again, or worse, come for the rest of your family."
"She's rich, younger than us and feels like she can do what she wants" said Tabby. "Sound familiar?"
They all know who and they hate that name. "Leslie Silver."
Lincoln felt like his hunch was right, Lacey St. Clair is acting like the next Leslie Silver and from the experience of facing that girl, and it tends to get from bad to worse real fast.
The Louds have a court hearing to go to tomorrow and they have to win and stop this girl.
(The Loud House.)
Back at the house, the twins are both in their rooms and resting, they know they can't do much to move around and they can't risk getting they're injuries from getting worse, so they'll have to study at home and thank goodness they finished all their school work before the deadlines.
The twins are busy reading their books and both of them finish reading one book and read the next. "Lols, this is boring" replied Lana as she leans onto her bed.
Lola sighs. "Yeah, I know. But this is the best we can do until we go back to school, and we don't come back until Friday, remember?" She goes back to reading.
Lana sighs in annoyance. "Yeah, yeah, I remember. Friday, which is also when the big test is up. I just wanna be outside right now and not in here." She looks out the window and sees birds flying.
Then something comes into the room and that something was the new dog Victorie and with her is Charles and they both go towards Lola and Lana.
Victorie goes onto Lola's bead and Charles towards Lana and they stop reading the pet the dogs.
"Well, at least we have some company and the newest member to the family" replied Lana. She then hugs Charles and scratches his back.
Lola smiles and she too hugs Victorie. "Yeah, she is pretty and the cutest dog I have ever seen!" She then kisses the cheek of Victorie, and then she realized what she had just said. "No offense Charles, I still love you."
The white dog happily barks.
Lana chuckles. "He's okay with it Lols. He knows how much the new dog means to us."
They both spend the rest of their moment with the dongs in their room. Even Hops, El Diablo and Izzy goes over to check on Victorie.
Then Lola has an idea. "Should we set up a play date for Victorie and the other dogs?"
Lana smiles to the idea. "Yeah! She can spend some time with Ajax, and Gretchen's Yamper and Hope's Rockruff. She'll like hanging out with them!"
That one might be for next time, possibly Saturday.
Then Michelle Lewis comes into the room. "Lola! Lana! A text from Lincoln, and it's about Lacey St. Clair and whats been happening, and you're both not gonna like this."
Victorie and Charles growl hearing that name, but Victorie seems really ticked off.
The very sound of concern in her voice was something they already didn't like.
To be continued…..
A/N: Looks like they're battle against Lacey is not done yet, but at least they have a new pet into the family. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
