It was colder than usual in the Loud House and everyone was still wearing blankets around themselves for warmth through this long, cold blizzard sweeping across Michigan and Luna was the only one who was unaffected, thanks to he being immune to the cold from the chemicals from the accidental transformation into a superhero.
It wasn't looking that good, but everyone was trying their best to keep warm in the house with all the blankets there were, heating blankets or regular ones alike.
"Whoa." Luna breathed. "That looks bad. Everyone looks snowblind or trapped under the ice." she let out a small yawn, and she went up to her room to try practice playing her guitar. She noticed Charles who was on her feet, whimpering with his puppy eyes, and he was quivering like he was scared to death. "Aww, you cold, Charles?" The little pooch varied in reply, and whimpered a little. "Don't worry, dog. I'll look for any more blankets or heating blankets."
She went up into the attic to look for the kind of warmth that Charles needs to keep him from suffering from hypothermia.
So far, Luna found nothing and she didn't want Charles to suffer anymore from the cold. If not for the "big family, small budget" curse that happens in this family, she or anyone in the family would then on the heating on the thermostat.
An idea popped into her head, and she had her own heating blanket, but, since she is now immune from the cold, she doesn't really need it anymore. Luna smiled and looked in the spot where it usually was, and it was right where she found it; a cardboard box on the right end of the room, and all the heating blankets were gone, minus her own, of course.
It would be a perfect one for Charles and he would be more than happy to have a blanket like this wrapped around his body. "Nice! That will do." She grabbed her old heating blanket and promptly went back down from the attic, Charles looked very happy to see the blanket and Luna promptly turned on the heating device for Charles, and he was getting toasty under that blanket. "There ya go, Charlie."
She gently petted him proudly, and the dog snuggled in her blanket. Cliff, Walt, and Geo noticed this , and they all began to growl jealous of that treatment.
"Come on, pets." Luna said amusingly. "You can all fit in this blanket. You just need to share it."
All the pets looked at one another and smiled, knowing that they can all fit inside that cloth, and they did just that; share it with one another, and it was heaven for them all. Luna smiled, knowing that they did the right thing, and she saw her family still trying to keep warm.
"You sure you can't just turn the heat up a little? Or what about the fireplace?" Luna asked.
"Sorry Luna, but we need to save money. And, unfortunately, we're out of kindling. We used the last of it three nights ago." Lynn Sr explained.
"Ah. Okay."
Lily's blanket had it's battery ran out and she was shivering like she was having a seizure. "Oh. Poor thing." Lori said. "Her blanket stopped giving her heat.
"Isn't there any more up there, Luna?" Asked Lana.
"Nope. That's pretty much it. I gave mine to the pets."
Lincoln couldn't bear to watch Lily shivering like this, and he had a small sacrifice, and he approached her. "Here you go, Lily." he said to her, giving the baby sister his own heating cloth.
Young Lily smiled and she clapped her hands happily with gratitude.
"Aww, thanks honey." said Rita. "That was sweet for you to help your sister like that."
"I know, mom." Lincoln was the one who began shivering now, and he was sitting on the couch. Despite how cold her was, he was happy to make Lily happy like that.
"You alright bro?" Luna asked him with concern. "Look like you had came out of a cryogenic freezer."
"Heh. Kinda sounds like you, Luna. No offense."
The rocker girl let out a small giggle from herself. "Nah, it's fine. But trust me, the cold I experienced before being enchanted like this,"
"Right. Well, I'm gonna see if my blanket in my room can help keep me warm." Lincoln did just that and went back downstairs with his two blankets around him, along with his hot cocoa that his dad had made for him.
Luna sat beside him, and she asked: "still feel cold, dude?"
"Yeah but... at least we're not in a place like Alaska or the North pole." Every one of the famiky agreed with him.
"No argument." said Lynn. "We'd turn into icicles."
"I wouldn't mind that kind of death. It sounds peaceful." Lucy thought.
"Well, I am not taking any chances. Snow one likes a flake!" Luan joked. Everyone, minus Lynn Sr groaned at her usual lame jokes. "But seriously, i bet Alaska is suffering even worse than we are. I had a friend that visited Nome, and she said the weather was air unbearable."
"Just be glad we are not io there." Said Lisa. "We would probably all die of hypothermia if we were in the middle of an Arctic wasteland."
Just when everyone was about to jdit deal with the cold, cold day today, Luna had an idea. "Guys. I'll be right back."
"Where you going?" Asked Leni.
"Just call in a good friend of mine to help keep you all warm." Luna boldly stated. "Don't worry, it won't be long." She promptly went out the door and she went over to Mason's house. It was a perfect idea because Mason has the power of fire and he can easily warm things up on this freezing day.
She knocked on the door and there was Mason. "Oh. Bonjour Luna, what can I help you with?"
"Mason, my family is freezing and I was wondering if you can help give keep them warm somehow." Luna answered. "They won't really know that you have powers, besides Lincoln that is."
"Hmmmm. How had are they freezing?"
"I'll show it to you."
"Ahm very well. Ma mere! I'm going to help out my friend and her family, I'll be back in a few minutes!"
"Okay, Mason." His mother called back from the kitchen. "Try not to get a cold out there."
"I won't. I'll be fine." Mason promptly went out the door and followed his heels friend down thr road, and when she opened the front door, Mason saw the family completely cold and shivering. "Oh mon dieu." He breathed.
"Yeah, look at everybody."
"It looks a little bad to me." Mason remarked. "Not to worry, I'll get some firewood for the maison. Or house in French. And, I have a trick to warm you all up."
"Oh. That makes sense." Said Lincoln. "I know what you are talking about, Mason.
"What do you mean, Lincoln?" asked Leni.
Lincoln was about to tell her but with her back turned to Luna and Maison, the teenager was giving body gestures not to reveal that he is Color Fire to everyone else. "He... just knows a trick. His dad taught him how to do it."
Mason smiled gratefully and gave him a thump up in gratitude. "Right. Come on Luna, let's help your family out." Over the small course of time, both of then brought in some firewood for the family to have to keep them warmer than before. "I wonder though, why don't they just turn up the heating?"
"It's all part of the 'big family, small budget,' thing that families like us have."
"Ahhhhhh. That would make sense." It work about ten minutes total, and it was a good thing Mason's house was just around the corner from Luna's, and they brought it in some firewood and placed it inside the empty fireplace. He pulled out a piece if sulphur and phosphorus, and began shaking the two minerals together, and then, he stealthily used his powers to light up the chimney.
"Wow. How did you do that?" Aaid Lori.
"Ancient French secret."
"Well thanks for saving us, Mason." said Lynn Sr. "We really needed that wood to burn up."
The lad made a small laugh before replying: "no problem, monsieur Loud. Will toy all be alright now? Don't hesitate to come to me to make it warmer inside your house."
"Good. Don't worry Mason, we'll be fine. We still have our heating blankets."
"Good. Well, have fun you guys." the young lad then went out the door and everyone inside was a little more happy now that Mason had made the house warmer than ever. Most of the siblings gathered around by the fire and clasped their hands together in front if it.
Lincoln took a sip of his hot cocoa and wrapped the blankets over him like a cocoon. He wanted to crowd over to the fireplace, but he knew that the other sisters would be annoyed and orovsvkt be pushed away by Lynn or Lola.
"You know, you can enjoy the fire like most of us, Lincoln. You know that?" asked Lori
"I know. But still, I don't want to ruin it for everyone over there. I might get in everyone's way."
"Nah, it's not avlack Friday sale, you know?"
"I've been there." leni remarked. "Black Friday is so crazy crazy with people fighting over dresses, skirts, and shirts."
All in all, Lincoln decided to just enjoy the fireplace, and he noticed that the siblings didn't fight with him over who should he closest to the fire. "Oh yeah." He sighed. "That hits the spot."
"It's like spirits of crimson fire came down from the heavens and decided to give us shelter from the cold air outside." Lola said.
"Nah. I prefer to keep myself cold." Lucy stated. "I love the feeling of freezing to death and turning into a dead, frozen statue of a human being. Say, if you guys throw a birthday party, you should have my body as am ice sculpture."
"Don't even say that!" said Luna. "That's crazy talk."
"No, it's not crazy talk." Leni scoffed. "This is crazy talk." she began babbling and flailing her tongue out while exclaiming and speaking gibberish from her mouth.
"Stop it." Lori barked
"Sorry."
"I was just trying to make a point." Luna explained.
"Come on, Lucy, you don't really want to die like that, do you?" Rita asked the Gothic sister.
"I might. It's not so painful. It would be falling asleep, but faster if you do it that way. Better than being impaled on a wooden pike, or getting hit from a bullet."
"Okay, okay, that's enough of that Lucy." said Lynn Sr.
"Last thing we want is you to make it so depressing for us." said Lincoln.
Luna was happy to see her own family happy and being kept warm by the fire, and she was glad that they won't have to freeze their butts off tonight when it comes. It was good that there was no crime to stop at the moment (not because Luna doesn't want to fight crime, but because she just wants to be with her family, which always comes first to her.)
She went into the kitchen to get herself a lemon smoothie from the fridge and added some ice cubes with it. To other people, it would look unusual to have a cold beverage on a cold day, but for Luna, it was perfectly fine with her to drink a cold beverage in this kind of weather without suffering.
Another thing to help keep the family warm was having a nice dinner egg noodles with swedish meatballs and roux sauce all over them. A very delicious type if dinner for a family to enjoy for themselves. At first, it was steaming hot for everyone's taste buds, so they waited a few minutes for their dinner to cool off so they can enjoy their dad's amazing cooking once again.
As soon as everyone was done eating, some of the siblings went back in front of the fireplace, continuing to keep themselves warm. Lincoln went back upstairs to play some King of Elves on his laptop with his friends online.
Luna saw Lily getting very tired next to her. She could tell because the baby couldn't stop trying to keep her eyes open, and let out a yawn. "Aww, I think a certain lkggle dudette needs her sleepy time." Luna sang. At last, Lily fell asleep on the couch cushion and Luna promptly took her up to her and Lisa's room, where she gently placed her inside of her crib. "G'night, Liky." Another adorable thing Luna did was give her a goodnight kiss before exiting the room.
Meanwhile, Lincoln was trying to find some friends, but they all replied that they are all busy trying to keep warm today, which ass kind of a bummer. He couldn't play this game if there was no one else to play on this one.
Feeling a little bored, Lincoln decided to look up some funny internet videos and something to help time fly by.
It was a little fun, but he was starting to get a little tired after thirty minutes, and maybe he decided to take a little nap since there was nothing else to do. He tucked himself under the covers and turned over to the side.
"You okay dude?" asked Luna who was resting her back on the doorway with an amused look on her face.
"Hmm? Yeah Luna. I'm just fine. Just a little tired."
"Yeay, I'm feeling a little tired too. Mind if I... keep ya warm tonight?"
"Nah, it's okay."
Luna smiled and went in his bed, keeping him close to her like her stuffed animal. At last, the night came a few hours later, it was lights out and everyone was tucking themselves in for bed. Lincoln and Luna were already asleep under the covers and Rita saw it when she noticed the light was still on.
Rita smiled and turned the light off so the kids can sleep together for the night and make themselves comfortable with no interruptions. Both of them were sighing as they slept and and Lincoln felt Luna kiss him on the back of his head.
Yes, this night was going to be yet another tender one for these two close siblings.
Luna's body was still warm even with her ice powers and it was a good pillow for her brother when he needed it. Through the night, they didn't leave one another's side when the full moon rising up and it was when the blizzard stopped and it was slowly warming up a few degrees up than earlier.
