Welcome back. It's time for another chapter. Let's see how Michael's been adjusting to his new life in Royal Woods with the Loud Family.

The Next Morning, Royal Woods Michigan

Song: The Loud House Theme Song

Michael was zooming in an orange blur on the road leading toward Royal Woods. At the Welcome to Royal Woods sign, Officer Shoffner was there and had a speed gun active pointing at the road. Michael zoomed by setting it off.

"Morning Officer Shoffner!" Michael greeted her as he ran by. She smiled knowing the speed was coming from him. "Morning Michael!" Shoffner greeted back to him.

Michael continues down the road and runs up to the cliff tops to get a perfect view of Royal Woods. "WOO HOO HOOOOOOO!" He cheered once he made it to the top. "GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING ROYAL WOODS!" Michael calls out to the entire town and runs down toward it. Then he was greeted by everyone in town.

"Hi Michael!" Sam greeted him. "Hi Sam!" Michael greeted her back. Soon he runs Stella, Rusty, Liam and Zach. "Michael!" Rusty cheered. "Hi Michael!" Stella greeted him. "Hi you guys!" he greeted back at them.

Soon he runs past Katherine Mulligan and her crew who were getting ready for they're news report. "Sup Katherine?" He greet her. "This is Katherine Mulligan say, good morning Michael In The Hat. Any chance we can interview you today?" Kathrine asked Michael as he zooms around. "Sorry Kathrine, I'd love to, but I gotta run!" He tells her and zooms off. "See ya!"

Soon he makes it to the Loud House and runs up the walls to his bedroom window. He looks around, making sure no one was in there. Then he opens the window and climbs in. When his feet were on the ground, he accidentally knocked over one of his Funko figures, quickly caught it before it could hit the ground and placed it back into place.

Then he tried to get to his bed quietly, but the floor boards under the carpet were too squeaky. "Oh are you kidding me?!" Michael quietly asked in annoyance. "Stupid squeaky floor boards." He noticed there was some money stuck on his shoe and grabbed it. He saw he accidently brought back 300 dollars from the robbery. "Uh oh." He said in nervousness.

He knew if the family saw him with that, he'll be in trouble. He opens the drawer on his nightstand and placed the 300 in it. "I gotta remember to return that later." Michael said quietly.

Then he noticed his map and opened it up. Once he did, a feather fell out of it and flew down on the ground, making him gasp in surprise. He picks up the feather and remembered that belonged to Rosy. He outfit was made of feathers. Then he flashed back to the day he lost her. When Michael returned to her, he gave her a sun flower. She smiled "Oh. Michael." Said Rosy as her voice echoed in his head.

Michael smiles at the feather with sad eyes. "I miss you Rosy. I'm trying to make you proud." He said to the feather as if he was speaking to Rosy. He puts the feather back in the map and puts the map in his backpack.

He took off his backpack and placed in next to his bed and put the Infinity Sword on his new sword rack. Then he climbs into the bed and puts the sheets over himself and yawns. "And now, to get a little sleep." He said in tiredness.

As he was drifting off to sleep, someone let out a fart in his face, making Michael wake up and gag in disgust. "UGH! GROSS!" He shouted in disgust. He looks at who did it and saw it was Lynn Loud Jr who did that. She laughed at her wake up call to him. "Lynn! What the heck!?" He asked her in frustration.

Lynn kept laughing at her morning wake up call. "That's my morning Dutch oven to you Michael." Lynn explained. "It's intending to give you lots of good luck today." She told Michael.

"But right in my face?!" Michael asked annoyed. "Yep." Lynn answered.

Michael got angry at her farting on him and her superstitious ego. He got out of bed and started beating her up in a fight cloud. "THAT'S IT! HERE'S YOUR GOOD LUCK! I GOT YOU'RE GOOD LUCK RIGHT HERE, ATHELETIC BUTT SNIFFER!" He shouted at her in anger.

Lynn was trying to fight back, but she could lay her hands on him due to his speed. "Stop moving!" She told Michael so she can land a punch, but he refused. Then the rest of the Loud siblings minus Lori and Lily Loud came in and saw the fight going on. There was only Leni, Luna, Luan, Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa watching the fight going on.

"Oh boy. Looks like Lynn did it again." Said Lana in annoyance. "Lincoln and Lola sniffed the air and gagged in disgust. "Yeah. She did." Lola confirmed. They saw the fight cloud clear up and saw Michael had his arm wrapped around Lynn's neck.

"What do you say after you fart?!" Michael asked Lynn as he tightened his grip on her neck. Lynn was struggling to get free as she was losing air. "E…e…excuse me." She answered almost out of air. "Exactly!" Michael said as he let goes of her and she fell on the floor getting some air. "Do that again and I'll make you go through what you did to Lincoln during the Luck Fiasco!" He warned her and grabbed a can of air freshener, then sprayed the room of Lynn's stink. "You need help girl. I swear, this why I call you the Athletic Butt Sniffer! I don't even know how the others can stand living with you!" Michael shot at Lynn.

The Lincoln clears his throat getting Michael's attention. "Morning Mike. How's it going?" Lincoln greeted him. "Oh hey guys." Michael smiled and greeted back. "How'd you sleep?" Luan asked. Michael wasn't sure how to answer since he didn't get any. "Uh…Good." He lied then lets out a tired yawn making them suspicious.

Then he realized something. "Hey, isn't Lori coming home today for the Labor Day weekend?" Michael asked. "Like yes she is Mikey." Leni answered with a smile. "Can you feel the excitement?" Lucy asked as she appeared behind Michael, scaring him and the others. "It feels like it's been ages since we've seen her." She said.

Then Lisa steps in with a calendar in hand. "Actually, based on this calendar, times the amount of classes in our education establishments, street name school, it has been 504 hours since we've last encountered out first elder sister unit. In simple terms, it's been 3 weeks since we've last seen Lori." She explained to them.

"I think her point was that we miss having Lori around the house ever since summer came to a close." Lola said to Lisa. "Which gives me time to prepare for the next summer pageants next year." She added.

Michael hung his head and sat on his bed. "That sucked. Seeing her go off to college." Michael complained.

Then Luna had a seat next to him. "Yeah we know Michael. But like we kept saying the day we met, there's nothing you can do to stop it." She reminded Michael. "Yeah, I guess so." Michael slumped.

"But look on the bright side Michael." Luan told him. "At least you still have us." She said getting Michael to smile a little. "Yeah. You're right." Michael said. "If we weren't here, who would be Left?" Luan joked and laughed. "Get it?" She asked them making them groan.

Then Lynn got back up regaining air. "What time does she get here anyway?" She asked. Just before anyone could answer, they heard the front door open and a voice called out.

"Guys! I'm home!" The familiar voice belonged to Lori. That got the others excited and the girls ran out of the room while trampling Lincoln over. Leni, Luna and Michael helped him back up. "Oops. Sorry baby bro." Luna apologized.

Lincoln dusted his shirt as the others help him. "It's alright." He assured her. "You okay Lincoln?" Michael asked him. "Yeah. I'm good. It's not the first time I've got ran over like that." Lincoln said as he remembers the many times the sisters ran over him.

Leni rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "Heh. Sorry Linky. It's just me and the girls are always rushing." She told Lincoln. "Don't worry about it. Come on. Let's go welcome Lori home." Lincoln said wanting to go see Lori.

The left Michael's room and went downstairs and saw the girls hugging Lori. "It's literally good to see you guys too." Lori said with a smile on her face. Then the parents came in with Lily in Rita's arms. "Welcome home sweetie." Lynn Sr said with teary eyes. "Thanks dad." She said.

"LORI!" Lincoln and Michael cheered as they run down the stairs. They both hug her as she hugs them back. "Linky! Michael!" She said happy to see them. "I missed you guys too." Lori said hugging the boys.

Michael was really happy to see her. "How's it going at Fairway University so far?" He asked Lori. "Great." She answered. "Well, you're just in time for breakfast Lori." Said Rita.

Lynn Sr walks from the kitchen into the dining room setting the table. "Breakfast is all ready kids. Come and get it!" He announced as the Loud kids cheered and ran into the dining room while Michael just walks in to take his seat next to Lincoln and Lily. Then he lets out a tired yawn. "Hi Mikey." Lily said to Michael. Michael smiled and pats her on the head.

Michael grabbed some bacon, eggs and a couple slices of toast and slowly ate. Rita and Lynn Sr noticed Michael's tiredness and got deadpan looks. Lynn Sr pulls out the morning paper and showed it to Rita. They nod and knew what the morning topic was about.

Lucy was grabbing mostly burnt food. "Can someone pass me that dark piece of toast?" She asked as Luan gave it to here. "Here you go." Luan said lending assistance.

Lynn Sr clear his throat. "Okay kids, finish up and get ready. We're going to Tall Timber Park today for a picnic go fishing." He announced to the kids making them excited.

"Did you say picnic?" Lana asked. "I think he said picnic!" Leni said in excitement. "Pops said Picnic!" Luna cheered and gave her rock pose. "I've been meaning to visit the Fishman's recently. I better warn them to stay clear of the fishing lines." Lana said not wanting her fish pals to get hurt.

Michael was confused by that. "The Fishman's? Who are they?" He asked Lana. "A family of fish I made friends with who live in the lake." She answered. "Ah." Michael understood. "I always wanted to go fishing." He said.

"You're first time fishing huh?" Luan asked. "Sounds kind of Fishy to me." She joked and laughed. "Get it?" She asked the family who groaned except for Lynn Sr. "Well finish up and go get ready kids." Rita told the kids.

At Tall Timber Park

Lynn Sr was able to rent a big enough boat for the family so the Loud's and Michael can enjoy fishing without being all crammed together.

Lincoln was keeping an eye on the bobber until he felt a bite. "Whoa! I caught something! And it's a big one!" He said in excitement. "Reel that bad boy in son!" Lynn Sr said as he help Lincoln bring his catch in.

When it was fully reeled in, Lincoln catch was a catfish. "Alright! It's a catfish! And it's huge!" Lincoln cheered."Way to go bro!" Luna congratulated him. Lisa caught a bass and pulls out her tape recorder. "Specimen has a weight about 167 pounds with a width of 26 inches." She stated her measurement on the fish she caught.

Lynn was reeling her reel in fast. "Oh yeah! Come to mama big guy! Let's see what Lynn-sanity's got this time!" She says in excitement. However her catch wasn't a big one. It was a small minnow. The others saw and laughed at her. "Aw what!? Lame!" Lynn exclaims in disappointment as she tossed the fish back in the water. "How come I'm getting all the lame tiny fish, while you guys are getting the big ones?!" Lynn complained.

Lori rolled her eyes. "Probably because of your attitude." Lori said with Leni nodding. "Now kids, we're here to enjoy a nice outing. Not too insult each other." Rita reminded them. "Sorry mom." The Loud kids apologized.

Rita was holding Lily and they look down in the water. "Do you see the fish down there sweetie?" She asked Lily. "Yeah yeah. Fishys!" Lily said in joy as she giggled and clapped her hands.

Lucy was sitting in a wooden box to provide shade. "Sigh. It's such a shame I haven't caught any dead fish." She said in her usual gothic tone. "So you can arrange a funeral for them?" Lola asked rhetorically while sunbathing with sunglasses over her eyes. "Yes." Lucy answered.

Lana emerged from the water with a pair of goggles over her eyes and nose. "Alright. The Fishmen's are cleared away from our boat. And they're babies are looking good." She said assuring the Loud's and Michael. "Thank's for letting us know Lana." Lincoln said. "Now come on out of there and join your family." Lynn Sr told her.

Lana climbs up onto the boat and shakes the water off her like a hound dog causing water to head for Lola making her scream in irritation. "LANA, CUT IT OUT!" Lola shouted at her twin sister.

Lincoln breathed in fresh air and sighs in delight. "Nothing beats this weather. Wouldn't you say guys?" He asked the family. "We sure would Linc." Luan answered. "Like, clear blue skies, warm sun rays, and birds singing." Leni listed.

They all noticed that Michael was really quiet over on his side. They all look at each other with curious faces. "How you doing over there Michael?" Lincoln asked. "Catch anything?" Lori asked.

Michael didn't say anything to them. In fact Michael was asleep while sitting. Lynn and Luan looked at Lincoln and he nods to them. They got up, picked up Michael and threw him into the water causing him to wake up.

"AAH! I'm up! I'm up!" Michael said shocked and frantically. He swims up to the ladder and climbs up. Luna and Lucy help him back on. "I guess that wake-up call went Swimmingly." Luan joked and laughed. "But seriously, you alright Michael?" She asked him receiving a nod from him as he shivers due to the cold water.

"Well, at least it's better than being farted in the face by a butt sniffer." Michael said making Lynn groan at his name for her.

Lynn Sr grabs a towel and wraps it around Michael. "Well, now that you had a nap and a bath, we need to talk." Lynn Sr told Michael. "Michael, there's something we need to discuss. Rita said. "About what Mr. and Mrs. Loud?" Michael asked.

Rita turned to Lincoln and nodded to him. "Last night, Me, Lana and Leni came into your room to bring you your new comic." Lincoln began. "Oh yeah, my latest issue of Avengers. Where did you put it again?" Michael asked eager to read it when he gets home. "We put it next to your TV." Leni said to him. "But that's not the point of this." Lincoln said getting back to the point of topic.

A flashback begins with Lincoln, Lana and Leni coming into Michael's bedroom. "When we came in, we saw Charles chewing on your arm while you were in bed." Lana's voice said. "Or so we thought was you." Lincoln's voice said. They watched Charles tugging on an arm and ripped it out of the bed. Past Leni screamed in fear and got angry. "CHARLES! YOU JUST RIPPED MICHAEL'S ARM OFF!" She scolded Charles. Lincoln and Lana however thought differently. "No, he didn't Leni." Said Past Lana.

Lincoln walked up to the bed and pulled the sheets down showing a mannequin dressed to look like Michael. "Oh not again." Past Lincoln said in annoyance and Leni gasped. "Tonya? What are you doing in Michael's bed?" Past Leni asked still not knowing the fact that Michael wasn't there. Lincoln and Lana had deadpan looks on their face because of Leni's ignorance.

The rest of the family came in and saw what was going on and got annoyed looks on they're faces. "Oh no! Did the dude do it again?" Past Luna asked receiving a nod from Lincoln and Lana.

Back in reality, Michael grunted in defeat. "I knew I should have used a basketball for the head and something heavy for the arms." He said in defeat for not thinking that through. "Don't worry Michael. I spoke to Tonya and she said she was sorry she was sleeping in your bed." Leni said to Michael, making the rest of the Loud's face palm. Michael just looked at her with a weirded out face. "Thank you, Leni." He said to her, feeling awkward.

Lori started to pick up. "Oh. Don't tell me. He's been…" She began. "Yep." Lynn and Lana answered. Then Lynn Sr slaps the newspaper in front of Michael with the article reading Mayhem in the Big Apple. The girls and Lincoln looked at the paper and were shocked. "New York City?!" Lola asked in shock. The parents were mostly annoyed. "How many times are we gonna do this?" Lynn Sr asked Michael.

Michael was trying to change the subject. "What? You mean casting a line? Catching a fish?" He asked hoping that would change the topic. "Seems like a billion." He said to them, but that didn't amuse the Loud's.

The Loud's shook their heads in annoyance. 'I believe you know what we're discussing about Michael." Lisa implied. "You sneaking off." Lucy listed. "Lying to us." Lola added. "Not joining my sparring sessions." Lynn added but received glares from everyone. "What?" She asked. "Anyway, those last two Lucy and Lola said, and pretending to be Batman." Lynn Sr added.

Michael grunts. "I was not pretending to be Batman." He complained. "I'm my own Superhero. I'm M.I.T.H. Trademark pending." He stated. His eyes widen realizing he admitted it. "Ah crap." He said in defeat. "Busted." Lynn said with a smirk. "Okay, Lynn, please be quiet!" Leni told her.

"Either way I was not pretending to be Batman." Michael assured them. "Whatever, your being reckless." Rita scolded Michael making him sigh in annoyance. "Not this conversation again." He complained to himself.

"Look, it's no fun for us either Mike-ster." Luna said to Michael. "But if you keep being doing stuff like that, we gonna have to have this conversation." Luan said. "Like you can't keep being irresponsible Michael." Leni said to Michael.

Michael groans about this. "And how is it irresponsible for me to use my powers to stop bad guys?!" Michael asked. Lincoln lifted the paper and showed it to Michael. "Michael, you destroyed an entire city block!" Lincoln pointed out. Then Lori took the paper and read it. "Literally. Listen to this." She told them and began reading.

"An boy in an orange hat pretended to be a night vigilantly by helping stop a group of robbers, but left the scene in a reckless manner. Hostage claims boy is an idiot kid who is terrible at being a so called hero." Lori finished. Michael got angry that the hostage called him that. "Well clearly that guy is the real idiot! And besides, that block was a wreck anyway." Michael stated.

Then Michael stood up feeling proud. "And those guys should be thanking me. I helped stop those criminals. I was a hero. And you guys know what I said the day I moved in with you guys. The world needs a hero. I…" He began. "You are that hero. Yeah. We heard you say that Michael." Lucy said assuring Michael they knew.

"No!" Lynn Sr said thinking differently. "You put innocent people in danger Michael! That is not what a hero does!" Lynn Sr scolded Michael. "Well how would you guys know that was even me who did that?" He asked demanding proof.

Lisa cleared her throat. "We have very simple evidence." She said. "Civilians claimed they seen an orange blur and an orange tornado." She said listing they're evidence. "And this morning after we all woke up, we heard someone with your pipes shout out good morning Royal Woods." Luna added in. "And our thin walls can't block out sound. We heard you speed up the walls and open your window." Luan added.

Then Lolo stepped in. "And if you think you can just hide away money you brought back with you, think again." She said then turned to the others. "He brought back 300 dollars that were stuck to his shoe. I call dibs on them." She said wanting that money. "LOLA!?" They all shouted at her for her greediness. "Okay! Okay!" She said trying to not cause a bigger problem.

"I'm still planning to send that money back to that bank." Michael said assuring he was going to.

"The money's not important right now! If you keep doing stuff like this, I'm afraid we'll have to punish you Michael!" Rita told him. "You can't just sneak out at night, run off to another state, just stop bad guys while leaving everything in disarray!" She said to Michael.

"Sure we hate bad people too." Lynn inquired "But we don't stoop down to your level!" She said to him.

Michael gave them a hurt face as he felt insulted by they're criticisms. "You guys are supposed to be my friends. Stop pretending to be my actual family." He said in a sad tone. "Besides, I'm just trying to do some good with these powers other than just play around with them." He told the Loud's as he pulls out Rosy's feather. "And I just want to make Rosy proud." He said in a sad tone.

The Loud's looked at him feeling they hurt his feelings. Michael got up, put the feather back in his backpack, walked toward the bow of the boat, leaned on the rail and looked out at the horizon. Lincoln sighed and walked up to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder pad.

"Look Michael." Lincoln told Michael. "We all know that you wanna help make a difference. All of us do." He said to Michael trying to lighten him up. "But doing something like that won't be able to do it." Lincoln said. "Lincoln is right Michael." Lisa said agreeing with Lincoln. "With the amount of damage you inflict on out there, there's a 87% chance of you causing minor injury to your physical structure. In simple terms, you can end up getting yourself hurt." She said.

Michael turned to them and spoke again. "I can take care of myself you guys. Even Lincoln can." Michael said trying to convince them."But Michael. Being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself." Lincoln began. "He's right Mike." Luan said. "It's about taking responsibility for other people." Lincoln finished.

Then Rita stepped in. "And whether you wanna hear this or not, you are still just a kid." She stated. "And even if you're stuck in that body, you still have a lot of growing up to do." Lynn Sr said. "Only then will you be ready to be the big hero." Lincoln said to Michael.

Michael looks at them thinking they were making a point. "Trust us Michael. I'm your friend. There will come a moment when your powers will be needed." Lincoln assured Michael. "And when it does, you'll have that chance to literally prove yourself as a hero." Lori added in. "Except New York will never forgive you for that stunt last night." Lynn rubbed in.

"LYNN MARIE LOUD JR!" Rita scolds Lynn as she glares at her. "You're not helping the sitch dude!" Luna pointed out at her. "The spirit breaker." Said Lucy scaring everyone. "That's another name we could give you next to the Athletic Butt Sniffer." She said to Lynn. "Gees, sorry." Lynn apologized with annoyance.

They all turn back to Michael. "But what Linky, mom and dad are saying is true Mikey." Leni says in a friendly way to Michael. "You're powers will be needed at the right moment." Lola said. "But you don't choose that moment." Lincoln said. "That moment chooses you." Lynn Sr added in.

Michael had an impressed look. "Woo. Look at you guys. I just got goosebumps from that." He said as he lifted his arm up. Then he got a smirk on his face. "Wait a second. Did you guys steal that from Oprah?" He asked the Loud's thinking they were quoting a cheesy line.

Lynn Sr shook his head. "No sir. That's a Loud family special." He told Michael. "Came from gramps, in this very boat, in this very lake. He would always try and steer us in the right direction." Lana said. "Good old Gramps. Always lending us a hand." Lynn said. "That's what your father and I always try to do with kids. Steer you in the right direction." Rita said. "And we're also trying to do that with Michael In The Hat." Lynn Sr told Michael.

"So, until your moment arrives, I want you to work on being more responsible. Understand?" Rita asked. Michael smiles and nods. "Understood." Michael said. "You sure?" Lincoln asked wanting it to be clear. "Totally. High four on it!" Michael said to Lincoln and they both high foured. "YEAH! The Man with the Plan and the Orange Twister! Back at it again!" Michael cheered.

Lynn Sr decided it was time for a break. "Okay everyone. Let's head back to dry land and get lunch." He told the family. "Uh, that's gonna be a problem dad." Said Lana looking over the motor which was smoking. "The motor is dead." She claimed making everyone's eyes widen.

Then Lisa come to look it over. "Father Unit? From whom praytell did you gain the rental of this aquatic vehicle from?" She asked while adjusting her glasses. Lynn Sr sighed in disappointment. "Flip." He simply answered. "Crazy Flip?!" The kids asked him. "There were no other boats to rent that were cheap. So going to him was my only option." Lynn Sr explained making everyone groan.

Lana continues to look over it and sighs in disappointment. "Well it's no good. I don't have the tools to fix it." Lana said claiming they were stuck.

Then Michael got an idea. "Don't worry guys. I got this." He said. Then he jumps into the water and grabs the back of it. "Please keep your hands, arms, legs and feet in the boat at all times!" He announced as he started to gain speed. "ENJOY THE RIDE!" He said as he starts pushing the boat as high speed.

Everyone held on tightly to the boat due to Michael pushing it really fast. Michael was cheering as he kept on pushing the boat back to dry land.

"MICHAEL!" The Loud's shouted at him.

Alright. Lori is home for Labor Day Weekend, Michael's life in the Loud House is good, but the Loud's don't find it good that Michael's being too careless with his powers. Now Michael needs to wait for his moment to come to be the big hero. Well that's it for now. Please Follow/Favorite Review and let me know what you all think. Also I need a good nickname Michael can give for Sid Chang. Give me some ideas in reviews. That's it for now. See ya later in the next one!
