Chapter 547.

"Taco Turbulence."

(The Loud House.)

Lincoln is done with feeing Lana's pets, and then she sees Lola coming into the room and looking happy with herself. Lana also notices this and asks. "So, how did it feel to help old Grouse the other day?"

Lola chuckles, then she shows them the cash. "Read em and weep you two, eight hundred bucks from splitting the fine stuff we sold, and the diamond too."

Lincoln whistles. "Impressive, and how much did Lisa and Grouse get from the treasure hunt you guys had the other day?"

Lola then stuffs her cash into her teddy bear. "Well, Lisa didn't want any cash, but she wanted to check everything we found to see if they were all legit, but Grouse got the rest of the cast and all for the birthday gifts he has planned for his grandkids."

"He also plans to save the cash for other stuff that he might need, but he did treat myself and Lisa to some ice-cream the other day and I guess we work well with him, well that is if we do that treasure hunt again."

"Dang, wish I was there. But I was busy training this big guy." Lana hugs Butterfree and Butterfree hugs her as well. Lincoln smiles seeing this and he leaves his sisters be to their own thing.

Lincoln walks out of the bedroom and he sees Lynn coming out of the bedroom. "Hey sis, still okay after what happened the other day?"

Lynn smirks. "Heck yeah I am. This gal is not afraid of barfing anymore, and all it took was riding that wild cow in the Amoosement Park, and also eating tons of cheese products too, so worth it!"

Lincoln chuckles. "Wow. Good job, sis, but the cow ride thing is something I didn't know they had and so glad I didn't see what the big girl look like."

Lynn then shows him the small trophy. "Won this for beating the time riding her the longest, not much but still good. But the next time you go to Dairyland, you better be ready for the Whipped Cream, because I doubt they'll let Lana in."

"Yeah, I know" replied Lincoln. "Well, I'm gonna go and see if Luna is ready and then we can go and pick up Jordan and then head off to Great Lakes City."

"Alright bro, also bring back some of those tacos they served, they were so good!" said Lynn. Then she recalls something. "Also, if that Carl ever shows his face with me around, then he'll regret cheating in a sport like karate!"

Lincoln nods. "Got it sis, and I'll be sure he gets the warning too." Lincoln then takes his leave from the house with Patriot flying out of the room and following him.

(Casagrande Apartment.)

Lincoln, Jordan, Ronnie Anne and Luna walk up the stairs with Patriot and Valkyrie and they head to the apartment room. "So, you're Abuela is a big hit with the tacos, must be a heck of a gig to get that ton of dough" said Luna.

"Well, Abuelo is the one who came up with the idea, and so we're all in support of…." Ronnie Anne opens the door and they see Hector, on the couch and crying into cash, and surrounded by tons of cash.

They are all confused and go towards the old man. "Abuelo? Are you dressed as Abuela and crying into money?"

Hector then wipes his tears with the cash. "No." He then blows his nose into it. "Here's your allowance." He then weeps into the cash.

Ronnie Anne then backs off and hands the cash back. "No thanks, I'm good."

"Hector, what the heck is going on and why are you dressed like Rosa?" asked Lincoln.

Hector sighs. "Sorry, but I miss the way things were before. I'm not good at house cleaning, cooking, fixing toilets or even managing the vacuum cleaner."

Then CJ walks by them with the cake that is a mess. "Or even Baking, this cake is lousy to look at and also not worth a slice."

Jordan smells the cake and is disgusted by it, then Valkyrie smells it, and she goes to the trash can and vomits. "That is so gnarly and so messed up."

"See? I never should've made this whole agreement with the cash, the tacos and giving up my Mercado!" said Hector. "I'd rather be happy with the Mercado back and less money!"

Then Carl comes in. "I can take the cash of your hands…"

But then Luan grabs him and pushes him away. "Back off, little dude. This is a Hector thing, not a Carl thing, also you got company."

Carl sees Dennis, and still in his karate gear. "First Lesson: Trying to evade me!" Carl screams and runs off as the robot goes after him.

Hector sighs. "I can't even throw my slipper right! How does Rosa do it?!" He then stands up and looks down in sadness. "I can't replace Rosa, and I'm way too lazy and less skilled to even be her, or even genetically be Rosa."

"No kidding" replied Lincoln.

Hector then looks to the photo he has of the day he opened the Mercado. "I belong to the Mercado, because that is my thing and not dealing with that." The vacuum cleaner then spits out dust to his face. "See what I mean?"

Ronnie Anne then goes to her Abuelo. "Have you told Abuela about this?"

"No, I haven't and I don't plan to" replied Hector. "This whole taco thing was my idea, and Rosa is getting the attention she deserves, and I don't wanna take that away from her. I'll just have to live with it and try to be her, and I don't know how long I have for that one."

Lincoln and Jordan know that is not the way and not what Hector wants, and certainly not what the familia wants, because Hector is not a good cook. "Hector, try talking to her and then see how she feels" said Jordan.

"It won't hurt to try, and you giving her this shot to get the attention she needs makes you a good husband to Rosa" said Lincoln.

Hector thinks about this. "You know what? You two are right, I'm gonna go and talk to her." Hector then makes his way down the stairs and the others follow him.

Ronnie Anne looks to Lincoln and Jordan. "Nice job with the words of advice."

"Well, we knew that this isn't what he wants" said Lincoln.

"Also, he would be the one cooking for your familia until who knows how long" said Jordan.

Ronnie Anne also realizes this. They won't eat any more of Abuela Rosa's famous and delicious meals!

(Casagrande… sorry, Rosa's Tacos.)

The group then makes it towards what was once the Casagrande Mercado, and see one long line. "Okay, so now what?" asked Jordan. "It would be rude to cut in line."

Hector scoffs. "So what? This was my Mercado and it still and always will be. Also, I own this place, now come on!" Hector pushes aside some folks and the others follow him into the place.

They see Rosa giving Vito a taco. "Rosa I have something to say."

But then the customers listen in, so Vito chases them off. "Hey, give these two some privacy." He then looks to Hector and Rosa. "You may continue, Hector."

But then Luna pushes him away. "Give them some privacy dude." The others also let them speak, and yet they can still hear them.

Hector then looks to his wife. "Rosa, this won't be easy for me to say but… but I want things to go back to the way things were. I want you to stop selling tacos."

Rosa is touched to hear this. "Oh, Hector. I…"

Hector then interrupts her. "I miss being in my Mercado and I miss the Mercado itself and I'll do anything to get it back, anything. Heck, I'll take you to a very fancy spa."

Rosa smirks. "Hector…"

Hector then interrupts her again. "A fancy Dinner in the city or at Royal Woods..."

Rosa is a bit annoyed. "Hector, I just…"

Hector then tells more. "An expensive vacation to anywhere you want…"

So, Rosa stops him by shoving a taco into his mouth and he eats it, as everyone is so confused at what this old guy is doing. "Hector, if you let me speak, then I wanted to say that I also wanted things back to the way they were."

Hector swallows the taco. "Wait, what? You do?"

"Whoa. Did not see that coming, dudes" said Luna. She also eats a taco and so does Lincoln, Jordan, Ronnie Anne and the eagles. They even have a bag of tacos to bring back to the rest of the family.

Rosa nods. "Yes, I missed the way we always had our own things to manage. I miss the kids, helping the others with their problems in the apartment and I also miss seeing you around, and since you insisted, I will take the offer on the spa, fancy dinner and expensive Vacation, to anywhere I want."

Hector chuckles. "Mi Amore Sito, you got it." He holds her hands and kisses them and this makes her giggle.

The other customers gasp hearing this. "Wait, of she's done making tacos, than that's the last one!" They then go after Vito for his taco, but then they see the group of kids. "They have tacos too!"

They're about to go for them, but Luna and the Eagles get in the way and then Lalo barks at them and the Hector and Rosa get in the way. "Everyone out!" yelled Hector. "This is a Mercado, not a taco restaurant!"

They all grumble and take their leave, then Vito goes to them. "Wow. That hurt…" He then sees Lincoln eating a taco, and the bag of tacos. "You gonna eat those?"

Hector then has a push broom. "Vito, out!" He then gets Vito out and closes the door. "Oh, Madre Mia, Too close."

"Way too close." Rosa then looks towards Lincoln, Jordan and Luna. "Also, I am so glad you're all here. I fear that those people might ask for me to make tacos as I did, and so I want you to take this." She hands them a piece of paper.

They look at it and see what it is. "Huh, this is the taco recipe" said Jordan.

Rosa nods. "Exactly, and I wish for Lynn to make them in his restaurant as long as I get credit on who made them, and since people would be obsessed with them, he should make them exclusive."

"Like a taco Tuesday!" said Hector.

Luna smirks. "You got it dudes. Also that sounded like a School stick with the taco Tuesday."

Lincoln smiles. "We'll make sure he gets this and congrats on getting the Mercado back, but you guys are gonna have a lot to clean up."

Ronnie Anne then grabs a push broom. "We'll help too." Lincoln, Jordan and Luna nod, and so do the eagles. Then Bobby shows up.

"Oh, we're getting the Mercado back? Yes! This is great, because these are starting to hurt…" He shows them that underneath his trench coat are pineapples and durians and they hurt him due to their pointy fruit bodies.

They all cringe seeing this. "Dude, were you the produce aisle?" asked Luna.

Bobby has a tear in his eye. "Yes." He then falls to the ground, from the pain he had to endure. "Someone get mom, please."

And this happens while Carl is outside running from Dennis. "There is no escape, and you have no honor."

To be continued…

A/N: I hope this was a better version to the episode "Taco the Town" it seemed better for the recipe to be in an actual eatery instead of the Bodega, and the last bit of Bobby being the produce aisle is damn funny, and painful too. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
