Rehearsal Day 1
At the Loud house, Lincoln was doing homework in his room, until one of her sisters Lola barges in,
"Lincoln! I need your opinion about on this lip gloss for my next pageant, should I go for watermelon strawberry or cherry pomegranate?" she asked,
"Lola, I'm trying to do my stinking homework!" Lincoln exclaimed causing Lola to flinch, but he changed his tone to give an answer,
"But I'd go for watermelon strawberry, cause it matches your outfit perfectly."
"Oh that's I thought. Thanks Linky." Lola smiled and left,
"It's not really easy trying to my homework without any disruptions, but in some cases like Lola for example, it's very pleasing to help out and to ease my tension from homework." Lincoln said,
"Yeah I know Whitney, that was literally stupid of Harold to act like a jock around some girl..." Lori the eldest was on her phone until suddenly,
DING
"Hang on second Whitney, just gotta text." Lori said, looks into text which is from Luna, then she reads the text and then in a comedic fashion goes into panic mode, then goes back to Whitney,
"Whitney, I'm sorry, but there's literally a situation. I'll call you back." then she turns off her phone and calls for everybody in the hall,
"Everyone! We have a situation! Meeting in my room right now!"
Moments later, everybody gathered in Lori and Leni's room,
"Okay. I just got a text from Luna and she says she's at the arena for some rehearsal." Lori explained,
"A rehearsal? What's the big deal? Shouldn't we be at least remorse-al about it? Hahahaha! Get it?" Luan asked making a joke
"Ugh" everybody groans at how annoying Luan's joke was,
"Luan this serious. I'm gonna call Luna and ask what's her deal." Lori said as she speed dials Luna's number,
Meanwhile, we bought Luna to the stage, she was amazed by the sight,
"Whoa. That's hardcore dude." she said,
"Amazing isn't it? There's the computer board, the same one used for Michael's Bad Tour." I said,
"Alright. Let's get this rehearsal started. Okay guys, let's start with 'Bad' and can we get the arena lights dim?" I asked the light manager and she did dimmed the lights in the arena,
"You're gonna love this Luna, you'll see the words 'Bad' and 'Who's Bad' before the song starts." Aki said,
"Rad!" Luna exclaims, then her ringtone sounds from her phone,
"Hold that thought. I gotta take this. It's my sis." Luna said as she answers her phone,
"Hold it guys." I said signalling every one on standby,
"You got Rockstar Luna, what's the haps?"
"What's the haps? Luna, why are you at the arena for a rehearsal?" Lori asked exasperated,
"Whoa watch the tone sis. I was supposed have a ses with Sam, but she's sick and I was on my home early until I met this group who's having a concert and..." Luna explained, until Lori cuts her off,
"What group? Who are they?" Lori asked,
"Hold on, I'll put you on speaker." Luna said and puts the phone on speaker and Lori did the same,
"Okay. Who are they?" Lori asked once again,
"Prince of Pop and The P.Y.T. Girls dudes." Luna answered,
"I literally have no idea who they are." Lori said,
"Wait a minute. Prince of Pop and The P.Y.T. Girls? I watched a few their concerts online." Lincoln said,
"You did?" Lana asked,
"I never knew you knew them?" Lynn said,
"They're well known tribute performers. Famous for their Canadian tribute concerts to Michael Jackson. They did an awesome show in Toronto a couple of years ago. They're awesome." Lincoln explain,
"Michael Jackson? Who's that?" Leni asked, how typical,
"He's the famous entertainer in the world dude." Luna answered,
"Yeah, not to mention the world's greatest pop culture, dancer, songwriter, artist, humanitarian and not mention the richest dead celebrity today." I said,
"GASP" everyone gasped,
"Wait? Who's that?" Lucy asked,
"Hi. I'm Joseph, I'm the Prince of Pop and I understand you wanna know about Luna with my group." I said,
"Yes and are you not holding Luna hostage!?" Lola asked sounding hostile,
"Lola!" Lori exclaims,
"Whoa there lil' firecracker. We're not holding your sister hostage, I swear to you, we're starting our American tour for our tribute to Michael Jackson's Bad Tour right here in Royal Woods and we asked Luna to join us for a rehearsal and she'll be our special guest guitar play for the show and she accepted." I explained,
"That's right dudes and don't worry I'll be home before curfew. Just let mom and pop star know so they won't worry." Luna said,
"Well okay Luna, we'll make sure they know." Lori said,
"And we know you'll do great at a rehearsal." Luan said,
"Well that works out. I'll drop her off tonight and hopefully get to meet each and every one of yous. Until then laters." I said,
"See ya's soon." Luna said and they hung up,
"No where were we? Oh yeah. Let's start with 'Bad'. Cue the board." I instructed and the board lights up as the words "BAD" comes in, then switches to "Who's Bad" and switches back on after another and the girls follows as they say repeatedly on each switches,
"Bad. Who's Bad?", then after about a minute, Bad spells out slowly as the sound "Bow" plays and echoes on, then again the next 2 times, 2 times again, 4 times, 1 time until the final time which is 3 times as we begin "Bad", I was on cue on center dancing and starts out like this.
"Your butt is mine, gonna tell you right..."
Luna follows on studying my moves and how our group plays on, she even studied Paula and Jenna on their guitar and bass for "Bad" and we're finished rehearsing "Bad" I told them, we're gonna do it again, this time with Luna joining in,
"Okay, let's do it again, but we'll have Luna to play with us.", then I turned to Luna,
"You catch all that Luna? I asked,
"Sure thing Joseph. I think I got this." Luna said getting her herself and her guitar ready,
"Okay. Bam! Play it again." I instructed, then "Bad plays on, Luna plays on and she was in perfect sync,
"Your butt is mine, gonna tell you right..." so we continue on with the rehearsal, but like Michael always does I'm doing the same trying to conserve my vocals until showtime.
Meanwhile, back at the Louds,
"Kids! Dinner time!" that Lynn Sr. calling out the Loud kids, like always they were rushing downstairs like a bunch of jackals,
"I came up with a new dish. Lynn Kabob." he said, it much like shish kabob, but added with a little zest of tomato sauce smothered on each kabobs with a hint of hot sauce and parsley,
"Wow. Those look great dad." Lincoln said as he grabbed one of those new kabobs, then the mother Rita makes a head counted,
"Wait. We're missing one. Where's Luna?" she asked,
"She's at the arena performing a rehearsal there." Lucy answered,
"She said not to worry and she'll be back tonight specially before curfew." Lisa said,
"But I thought she's with Sam for a session after school." Lynn Sr. said,
"Well she was originally, but I think she told us that Sam wasn't there possibly sick and had to come home early." Lori said,
"Until she meets up with this Tribute band called Prince of Pop & The P.Y.T. Girls and." Luan fills in,
"Wait Wait Wait. A tribute band? Who are they and what's their tribute to?" Lynn Sr. asked,
"They're the tribute performers from Canada always performing tribute concerts dedicating to...who is it again Lincoln?" Lynn Jr. said until she asks Lincoln,
"To Michael Jackson."
"Michael Jackson!?" the parents asked in shock,
"Yeah?" Lincoln said,
"What? Is there a problem mom and dad?" Lana asked,
"You're mother and I loved Michael." Lynn Sr. said,
"We've been listening to Michael since we're about as little as around Lucy's age." Rita said smiling,
"I remember listening to 'Beat It' and 'Billie Jean'. Dang those were the good ol' times in the 80's. Michael was so very popular then." Lynn Sr. said,
"Michael was one of my celebrity crushes before I met your father. I really love that video 'Thriller'." Rita said,
"I love the album, but that video still scares me." Lynn Sr. said,
"Was 'Thriller really that scary?" Lucy asked,
"Oh yeah, especially the part when Michael turns into a werewolf and later becoming a zombie. I remember when Michael and the other zombies were about to grab the girl, I nearly peed my pants. Ha!" Rita said as she laughs about the remark about her peeing her pants that time and continues on,
"Man, 'Thriller' was all the rage then and probably still big, especially for Halloween."
"You really had me interest in 'Thriller' mom." Lucy said, then smiles,
"I really hope 'Thriller' isn't that too spooky for me like daddy said it would." Lola said,
"Does it have spiders in it?" Leni asked,
"No I don't think so sweetie." Rita answered,
"Oh good. I would like love to see what Michael looks like as a zombie."
"Me too. I bet he's a total hunk." Lori said,
"I won't even mind peeing my pants if I get scared." Lana said,
"That's gross, even for you Lana" Lola said grossed out,
"I know." Lana giggled,
"That'll be a Thriller of a show. Am I right?" Luan asked, then everybody laughs as they agree,
Later at the arena, we were rehearsing 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and yet reaching the end of it.
"Oh! Yeah!" I shouted out as the girls sings the chorus "Mama-se-mama-sa-mama-coo-sa repeatedly,
"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
Gotta be startin' somethin'
Wanna be startin' somethin'
Startin' Somethin'"
"Ow!"
And we finished rehearsing "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"
"That was rad." Luna said,
"I know. That was my favourite to perform live." I said, then I somethin', which turns out to be Luna's stomach,
"Sorry. I'm getting hungry." Luna said embarrassed,
"I guess I am too." I said, then I called out,
"Okay guys. Time for an hour break."
So we took a long hour break we were getting hungry which is already past dinner time,
"Man I'm in the mood for some tenders at KFC." I said,
"What'll you have Luna?" Sarah asked,
"I think I'll have a killer burger at Burpin' Burger." Luna answered,
"I'll head over there to fetch it." Aki volunteered,
"I'll go over to KFC, McDonalds and Subway." Erica said,
"I'll head over to Tim Hortons for coffee and donuts. Kids, you want Tim Bits?" I asked,
"Yeah!" they called out gleefully,
"What are Tim Bits?" Luna asked,
"They're like those little donut balls. Those are very popular back home in Canada. Would you like to try em'." I asked,
"Heck yeah dude." Luna said, so Erica and Aki went out to get our chow, while we wait, we had a nice chat time,
"You propose to Sarah during a concert?" Luna asked,
"Oh yeah. I was about to finish up the performance of 'Heal The World' and I asked her to come up on stage and well you know rest. So we got hitched and soon we got married at Neverland." I said,
"You two got married at Neverland? What's it like?" Luna asked once again,
"It was magical there, not as magical without the rides, but still magical in a restoration way." Sarah said, then she shown Luna our wedding photo,
"Aawww. You two looks so rockin' adorable." she smiled, Sarah giggles,
"Why thank you."
Later, Erica and Aki returned and got our chow and finally dig in, we finished up and had our TimBits,
"Hoo..I'm stuffed man and those TimBits really hit the spot." Luna said,
"Glad you like em'." I said, then I called out,
"Okay folks! Back to rehearsal! Now let's go with 'The Way You Make Me Feel'."
So rehearsed "The Way You Make Feel", we continued on for a nearly 2 hours until it was time to send Luna home,
Meanwhile, the kids are waiting for Luna to come home,
"When is Luna coming? I can't wait any longer!" Lola barked,
"It won't be longer Lola, she'll call us to let us know." Lori said, then a ringtone sounded from somebody's phone, which is actually Lincoln's phone,
"That's me and it's Luna calling." Lincoln said and answers,
"Yeah this is Lincoln. Okay. Okay. I'll tell them."
"Luna's just close, she'll be home in a minute." Lincoln said,
"Oh! Let's wait for her outside the porch." Lynn said, so they went out the door waiting in the porch for Luna until, they saw a big bus parking in front of the yard. The bus doors opened up and Luna got her gear with her as the siblings ran over to her.
"Luna!" they called with glee,
"Hey dudes." Luna smiled,
"What's with the bus?" Lynn asked,
"Wait. Is that the tribute band you mentioned earlier?" Lincoln asked,
"Yep." she answered, then I shown myself to meet them,
"Hiya's."
"Are you Joseph, the Prince of Pop?" Lincoln asked,
"In the flesh and you must be...if can get this right...Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily." I said as I say their names in order from oldest to youngest,
"Hey. You got us all right. All 13 of us." Leni said,
"That's 10 of us Leni, excluding Luna to which she's with them makes us 11." Lisa said, I giggled,
"I really like to get to know ya's, but it's almost bedtime for my kids." I said,
"Shall we pick it tomorrow?" Lori asked,
"Yeah we can. Night night." I said as I got back inside the bus,
"I'm bushed dudes, gotta get some shut eye for school." Luna said as she went inside the house with everybody followed and later they all went to bed and we went to bed ourselves a little later.
