Meeting New People

The film started with the Bad Tour version of "Man In The Mirror", the P.Y.T. Girls and the Loud girls were all swooning and drooling over Michael almost throughout the entire DVD, even they started swooning with Lori and Leni nearly fainting at the scene with Michael running in slow motion with the kids with him whom are Sean Lennon, Brandon Adam and Kellie Parker. Lincoln loved the part in "Speed Demon" and "Smooth Criminal". The part when Mr. Big (aka Frankie Lideo) played by Joe Pesci knocking Michael down we all booed throwing popcorn and somebody threw a sandals at the screen,

"Alright who threw those?!" I exclaimed, it was Leni who raises her hands,

"Sorry, my sandals. I'll get em'." she got up and retrieve her sandals back, until part when Michael turns robotic his eyes were gleaming and when he annihilates Mr. Big for good and Lincoln loved ever moment of the entire scene and the girls cheered for Michael's victory. Then comes towards the ending of the film which "Come Together". As the film was over Cameron, Lily and Silas were getting sleepy, Lori and Leni just love the youngsters getting tired especially Cameron which was adorable to them, it does seem like to close to bedtime, so we decided to sleep a bit early, we'll except for me, because sleeping early is not for me, I'm staying up until I feel tired, so play on my iPad with my headphones on, until I suddenly feel tired and decided I'm done and sleep.

That morning, as the Loud were about to get ready for their day, I asked to come to arena for some fun since our rehearsal's already done and they love to. We went to drop them off to school and then we made our last stop to Royal Woods Elementary School, as Lincoln along with Lucy, Lisa, Lola and Lana, we all followed behind, then we came to over to see their principal,

"Hi we like to see the principal please." I said,

Later, in Lincoln's class, their teacher Mrs. Johnson sets up for History lesson,

"Okay class, turn to page 194 on Revolutionary War." and as they were about to start their work, they were interrupted by a knock on the door,

"Excuse me class." Mrs. Johnson opens the door and went out until the next minute came back,

"Class, put your History books for now, we have special guests today. Okay come on in." Mrs. Johnson, then we came in, the students were at awe,

"Hi kids. We are Prince of Pop & The P.Y.T. Girls." I introduced,

"Ah! It is you. I thought you looked familiar and I was right." Cookie said,

"How did you know it was us?" Aki asked,

"We saw you at the park yesterday." Girl Jordan answered,

"Oh. I told you I should've worn a disguise." I said as I whispered to Sarah,

"And those little kids, are they yours?" Brownie asked,

"You mean these two? Yes." I answered as I showed Hinata and Cameron to the kids,

"Is that boy really your son?" Cookie asked,

"Of course." I answered,

"He's the spitting image of his father." Sarah said as she nuzzles to me,

"Aaaawwww." all the girls cooed, over Cameron,

"Can we take a closer look at him." another girl named Penelope asked,

"Go ahead, the girls always go nuts for him." Sarah answered,

"Mommy." Cameron whine out of embarrassment, then all the girls went over to get close to my son, rubbing his head, poking and pinching his cheeks and even pulling him, all that went on for a couple of minutes,

"Okay girls, my son's got enough attention for now." I said, then Cameron went to Sarah's side hiding himself, the girls just had their heartstrings pulled, then they turned their attention to Hinata, some of the boys adored her, but couldn't show it,

"What about you? Do you ever get attention from the boys?" Kat asked,

"Well no not really, I wouldn't even care about getting attention, my brother would often cry to me, not as much as he cries to mommy." Hinata explained,

"Hinata." Cameron exclaims,

"What? You know it's true." Hinata explained,

"He gets bullied and I have to fight them off for him, so I trained him to become a fearless man." she said,

"How noble." Brownie said smiling at Cameron,

"And protective." Cookie said, they went heart struck again,

"I never noticed that shirt you have on there. What's that?" a boy named Liam asked,

"Oh this? It's my Brad Marchand Boston Bruins jersey. Daddy gave it to me." she said,

"She runs the blood of a Bruins family, not Sarah and Cameron, they more from the family of the Edmonton Oilers." I said,

"What are the Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers?" a tall red head boy named Rusty asked,

"They're the teams from the NHL. National Hockey League." Sarah asked,

"I used to work for the Vancouver Canucks and I became their fan. My son Michael got that from me." Aki said, the kids eyed on Michael noticing a familiar features about him,

"He looks familiar. I felt like I've seen him before, but yet he's much smaller than he is." Girl Jordan said, we were alarmed sweating,

"Yeah...do you have a father?" a short boy with glasses Zach asked,

"いいえ. That's no in Japanese. So no I don't have a dad." Michael answered,

"If you have a son, how come you're not married?" Mollie asked,

"Yeah, shouldn't you go find a man to date and to marry?" Cookie asked,

"Alright class, no more personal questions." Mrs. Johnson said,

"No no, that's fine. I did find someone I like and well he gave me my son and..." Aki starts to blush,

"Though I am a single mom and I have no plans find another guy and/or getting married. Having my son Michael in my life is perfect for me. And I trust Joseph with all my life and heart to be his father figure." Aki still blushes deeply, the entire class were perplexed about what Aki was talking about,

"Well anyways, another reason why we're here is to invite you entire class to our concert tomorrow night." I said, the kids gasped,

"This is our American debut of our Bad Tour Tribute concert show in honour of Michael Jackson." Sarah said,

"A concert? You're performing here?" Mrs. Johnson asked,

"Yeah. That is if you're interested?" I asked flashing out a ticket for her,

"Oh well of course I'm interested." Mrs. Johnson grabs the tickets and starts blushing getting all flirty with me as the entire class witnessing Sarah's fury raging,

"Okay kids, grab yourselves each tickets." I instructed as everybody got their tickets except for Lincoln and Clyde since they already got theirs from us before,

"Lincoln? Why didn't you come for your ticket?" Girl Jordan asked,

"Heck, Clyde didn't come and get one himself." Liam said,

"We already got tickets from them." Clyde answered,

"Alrighty kids, we have to visit a couple of other classes." Aki said,

"See you kids tomorrow night if you ever decide to come." Sarah said as she escorted the kids out the door, until another student raised her arm,

"Yes? Last question." I asked,

"Did you really stayed at Lincoln's house?" she asked,

"Of course we did, our bus is parked in front of his house and we even invited them to one of our rehearsals. Well we gotta go now. See ya's at show time." so I answered and left Lincoln's class, then we headed off to Lisa's class, we arrived there and we saw a group of little kids and they're just so adorable and just the same age as Cameron.

"Hi. We came for a short visit to your class and your class is really cute." I said,

"Well thank you and meet the class." said the teacher known as Ms. Shirivinas,

"We already knew Lisa Loud here, our friend's daughter is as smart as she is but a little younger." Aki said,

"Children. Gather round. I would like to meet uh..." Ms Shirivinas said,

"Prince of Pop & P.Y.T. Girls" I answered, the kids were just staring,

"So are you kids having fun?" I asked,

"Yeah." the kids answered, as we meet with the kids, I couldn't help noticing a picture of those sea creatures which looked familiar,

"Is there something wrong Mr. Pop?" Ms. Shrinivas asked,

"Oh please, call me Joseph and yes, they looked familiar...Oh yes. Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward and Mr. Krabs." I answered,

"I'm not really following." Ms. Shrinivas said,

"No really, see the sponge, that's Spongebob Squarepants, that sea star is Patrick, Squidward the octopus and that crab is Mr. Krabs. They represent the characters of my favourite cartoon 'Spongebob Squarepants'." I explained and she finally understood what I'm talked no about and then I heard a cry, I turned and it was a cute little brunette girl with a blue bow on her head and blue shirt, she scraped her knee, as Ms. Shirinivas was about to check, I offered to look out for her,

"I'll take care of this." I said and approach to the crying girl, then I picked her up,

"What's the matter little sweetie?" I asked,

"I tripped and hurt my knee." she sobs,

"Let me see." I lifted her pink pants above her knee and she scraped it,

"You just scraped it, but I'll clean it up." then went to the sink and dampened the paper towels and clean the wound, then I got the sanitizer and squirt a drop of it on another paper towel,

"It's gonna sting a bit, but it'll kill germs and will heal." I assured, then put the sanitized paper towel on the wound, the girl winced as she felt the sanitizer sting a little, then I put a band aid on the her scraped knee and kissed it,

"Better now?" I asked,

"Heehee. Yeah." the girl giggled and hugged me and I rubbed her head headed back to the other kids, we read stories to the kids and played a little, we even noticed Cameron fitting in with the kids until we realized we have to go,

"Oh dang we have to go." Sarah said,

"Aww." the kids expresses their disappointment,

"I know we wanna stay longer, but we can't." Aki said,

"The main reason is..." I was to explain,

"If I may?" Lisa cut me off, so explains why we came is to invite the class and come to our concert and of course we were told to come back in the afternoon and ask the parents if it's okay to take their kids to our concert, so went headed off back to the Louds and get our stuff to the arena, wardrobe, snacks, first aid and even vitamins to keep our energy up during our performance.

As the afternoon hits, we we returned to Lisa's class, just right before the parents went to pick up their little kids, we went over and asked, some declined which is understandable, but a few accepted including the cute girl which I helped earlier, the mother is fine with her daughter coming to experience her first concert as long as her babysitter comes and we said we're perfectly fine with it, then I noticed Lisa was talking to her friend named Darcy, also very cute, she seemed happy, her mother walked up to me and said to me,

"I figured you're a Michael Jackson fan.", I was surprised,

"You knew?" I asked,

"Oh yes, Darcy's been asking me who Michael Jackson is. I told her about him and when I heard you and your band were in town performing, I like to give Darcy a chance to her first concert." she explained, then she later told me before taking Darcy home with her, she's gonna see after show time and I was perplexed. Later we went over to the mall, Sarah wanted to get more extra clothes for the kids, the girls and of course I need extra V-neck t-shirts in case if I ever ripped them at anytime during our show, as Sarah and the kids went off the bus to go into the mall, I was behind,

"Joseph hurry up." Sarah called, I hurried until I stepped out,

"Why are you wearing that." she asked noticing I was wearing a surgical silk mask, my shades and wore a hood over my fedora I'm wearing, hiding my face like Michael Jackson always do in public,

"I have to, I don't wanna be noticed at the mall, almost everyone knew who we are." I explained,

"Oh honey, nobody's gonna recognize us." Sarah reassured, but I still don't know, but I went along anyways, as people walked by or passed us, they didn't recognize me which is perfect, we went to Reiningers and we noticed Leni was there,

"Hi Sarah." Leni waved,

"Leni? You work here?" Sarah asked,

"Yeah. Oh hi sir." Leni answered and then response to me,

"Leni, it's me, I'm wearing a disguise so people won't recognize me." I explained as I took my mask showing my face,

"Oh hi Joseph." she said smiling, I took my mask back on and went over to find white V-neck t-shirts and I found them, I clean them out as Sarah went the other side of the shop for kids section, then suddenly somebody tapped me making my heart jump,

"AH! Don't scare me like that!" I exclaimed as I turned, there was a red headed woman,

"Excuse me sir, I don't know who you are and if you're gonna any cause trouble I'll call security." she warned,

"No ma'am, don't do that." I protested,

"Why not?" she asked with a stern look, I took off my mask,

"I'm not trying to cause any trouble, I'm just wearing my mask in disguise, because I don't wanna be recognized, see I'm Prince of Pop and me and my tribute performers are in town to perform a concert tomorrow night and I just came to get extra white V-neck t-shirts in case I ever ripped them during performances and my wife was getting extra clothes for the everybody while we're on tour." I explained, I even shown her my card, the card proof we are "Prince of a Pop & P.Y.T. Girls",

"Well I never heard you, but I apologize for my suspicions, I'm Mrs. Carmichael, I'm the manager of the store and I noticed you met Leni my employee." Mrs. Carmichael said,

"Yeah we knew her, we're staying at her place for a few days until after our show." I said, after some minutes later Sarah got extra clothes ready and headed back to a Leni to cash in and Mrs. Carmichael left us and went back to her own work, about 50 feet away from us, a cute brunette woman with a yellow scarf, another employee named Fiona was working until she noticed us quietly, she went into spy mode and incognito, then she saw me flashing out tickets for Leni,

"Who are these people? And why is that weird looking guy giving something to Leni? Wait...he's wearing a surgical mask, yet he looks familiar. I gotta find out who they are." Fiona thought to herself until,

"Excuse me?" someone caught Fiona,

"Gah!" She yelped,

"Could you direct me to the scarves?" it was an old lady, about in her 70's asking,

"Uh yeah, it's right this way." Fiona said showing her the scarves,

"Either Lori or any of us can pick you up after your shift." I said,

"Whatever works for me I guess." Leni said,

"Thanks Leni. See you at the arena." Sarah said,

"And don't tell anybody we're here okay." I said as we left,

"Okay. Bye." Leni waved, moments later Fiona rushed to Leni,

"Leni, who are these people that just left the store?" Fiona asked,

"Just some new friends of mine. Why?" Leni said and asked back,

"I feel like I know these two adults before and that guy was wearing a mask. I think I know him from somewhere...I gotta find em', call it as my break." Fiona said as rushes off, she's looking all over the mall for 10 minutes, until got out of the mall, she found us heading inside the bus, though to her point of view she can only see the back of the bus, not the side which shown our faces and logo and we just left,

"Dang it. I missed them." Fiona said in disappointment and heads back in,

"I couldn't catch em' in time, I was so sure it was him." Fiona said,

"Him?...Ooo you mean Prince of Pop? That's him alright." Leni said,

"What? That was him!?" Fiona exclaims as grabs Leni by the shoulder,

"Yeah. He and the P.Y.T. Girl are here to perform a tribute concert tomorrow night. At least I think that's what they doing tomorrow. Check out the rehearsal I recorded," Leni explains as she shows the video of our rehearsal when the family came over to see, it shows us rehearsing "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'",

"I can't believe they're here! Wait, tribute concert for what?" Fiona was ecstatic, then asks,

"A tribute for...oh Michael Jackson." Leni answered,

"Michael Jackson? AH! I love MJ! I loved him since I was a little girl." Fiona squeals as she twirls around in excitement,

"Wanna come to the concert tomorrow?" Leni ask as she offers Fiona one of the tickets,

"Are you kidding Leni? I wouldn't...even...miss it...for the world." Fiona said as she posses the ticket, then she realized she has to ask more,

"Wait. Who is that woman with him and those kids?"

"That's his wife Sarah and those kids are theirs. They're just the cutest." Leni answered and she's about to show more pic on her phone,

"I didn't realize he's married and have kids. I would've dated him, let alone marry him." Fiona's disappointment shown again then quickly changed her mood into curiosity,

"What do these kids look like?"

"There's their girl, Hinata, she's really spunky just like my sister Lynn." Leni said as she shows Fiona pics of Hinata, like the one as a goalie and one fighting with Lynn,

"And there's that little angel boy Cameron." then she shown pics of Cameron, sleeping and being shy,

"Aaaaww." Fiona was heart struck,

"Excuse me my fine young ladies. Do you have silky robes? It's for my wife, ya know, it's our 5th anniversary." a male customer asked, he looked to in his early 30's,

"Well I guess it's back to work. Thanks again for the ticket Leni and show me more pics tomorrow." Fiona said then turns her attention to the customer,

"Right this way and may I suggest chestnut red silk robe?"

"She loves chestnut red. That's perfect." the customer said,

"I wonder if I could invite Miguel and the girls to the concert?" Leni thought, she put a list of friends to invite to the concert like Mandy, Jackie, Becky and Chez on her phone,

A few hours later back at the Loud House, Lori was in the kitchen chatting with her girlfriends like Dana, Becky, Whitney, Carol and a couple other girls, she even invited them to the concert, but a couple of the girls including Carol respectfully decline due to other plans for Friday night, but as they continue their girl talk, Cameron walks in,

"So then I literally told Bobby that..."

"Lori? Can you fetch me a glass of water please?" Cameron asked as he holds his baby pillow, the same baby pillow I had as my life possession, originally I gave it to Hinata when she was born, but she gave it to her brother instead which is his now,

"Sure. That's the little cutie pie I was talking about earlier." Lori answered and told the girls as she went to get a glass,

"Awww." girls squeals as they took a close look at Cameron mollycoddling him, they poke and pinch his cheeks, rubbing his head and cooing, Dana starts cuddling him by rubbing her face against his,

"He's the most adorable thing I ever seen." she said, Carol picks him up and then seeing he has a baby pillow with him,

"Aww. He's like a little baby." Carol said, then Whitney grabs him,

"Come here little angel." she placed his head to her chest hugging him and stroke his long thick hair

"Your hair is so soft. Did you ever think of getting a haircut?" Whitney asked,

"Nnno...a mike ma phair aff it iff." Cameron's face was smothered by her chest his speech was muffled, what he actually said was "No. I like my hair as it is.", then Becky finally got a hold of my son, she give him kisses on his face,

"You're so cute, will you be my baby brother just for tonight or should I be your mommy?" Becky asked in a cute affectionate tone and pokes his nose,

"Wha..." Cameron was perplexed as he tries to wipe off Becky's kissing marks on his face, Lori was waiting for the girls to stop with all this affection and cute talk so she can give Cameron a glass of water, but she couldn't help watching him being mollycoddled by her friends and finding it too cute and took pictures from her phone,

"This is just too literally precious." Lori said,

"I see you girls met my son trying to win him over for some motherly affection?" Sarah asked as she finally steps in the dining room,

"Momma!" Cameron cries out as he pulls away from the girls and ran to Sarah,

"Aaaawww." the girls cooed, their eyes swelled up,

"Alright that's enough attention for my baby." Sarah said, then Lori finally give Cameron a glass of water,

"Sorry Cameron, my friends goes crazy for anything cute, you know how girls are." Lori said, Cameron just couldn't say anything, but he does understand what Lori was talking about and was happy for a glass of water,

"Bye Cameron." the girls waved to Cameron very cute like, but Cameron shies away by hiding his face to Sarah's thighs and she picks him up,

"Come here baby." Sarah said,

"Aaaaawww. So cute." the girls cooed one last time and turned their attention back to Lori,

"No where were we?" Carol asked,

"Oh yeah, my Bobby, you see he told me that..."

"My goodness Cameron, you're getting way too popular with the girls since you were a baby." Sarah giggles,

"Mommy, you know how I was." Cameron whines,

"I know son, they just can't help how cute you were." Sarah said,

Later, we arrived back in the arena for some fun and Lori picked Leni up from the mall with Vanzilla. As we were about to start to some fun,

"Wait a minute! Let me change first." Leni said as she went to the changing room, we waited for 10 minutes and Leni returns,

"Okay ready." she's wearing sneakers with leggings along with a white t-shirt tied to the navel area and fabric wristbands and headband,

"Cue the video Danica." I called out to her, she played "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" from the Wembley 1988 show on YouTube shown on both jumbotron screens, the audio blasted to loud the entire arena echoed, we all danced, I danced the way Michael Jackson does and the Louds loved it when I danced full blast, they followed my steps like foot tapping and when I go "Hoo!", they did the same. After we're done with "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", we go with "Bad" next, same show, our kids joined in, Michael Ryu did like Michael Jackson does too, foot tapping, side walking and does the kick and as the 2nd half of "Bad" plays out, the Loud girls were shaking their butts and so as Lincoln, the girls were laughing, Jenna and Paula joins in on it,

"This is how it's gonna be like tomorrow!" I shouted out so the Louds will know about the show. And after an hour of fun it's time for us go back which is almost bedtime, except for Lucy because her show is about to come on with Lori and Leni watching it with her. As we returned with almost everybody getting ready for bed, Lucy tuned in for "Vampires Of Melancholia", she bought her bust of her so called beloved Edwin, which is also the main character of the show, I never understood such shows like that, but...

"So that's Edwin." I asked,

"Yes." Lucy answered,

"Here comes Blake Bradley! AAH!" Lori and Leni squealed,

"He plays the character Tristan. They always fall for him." Lucy explains,

"Who's that chick?" I asked,

"That's Griselda. Edwin's lover." Lucy explained,

"Well, she is easy on the eyes." I was kinda bewitched, until Sarah butted in,

"What did you just say?" Sarah asked showing her intimidation towards me,

"Relax honey, she's just a character in the show I started to like and besides you always fall for both Taylor Hall and after he got traded, you shifted to Connor McDavid." I explained in which I'm referring to her favourite players of the Edmonton Oilers and with one no longer an Oiler anymore due to trade back in 2016.

After the show was over, Lucy, Leni and Lori went upstairs to bed while Sarah and I remain to sleep in the living room. Everybody else sleeps inside the bus. While sleeping, Luna text messaging to Sam to give her a ticket for the show that is if she's well enough to and hopefully getting a chance to see her performing with the group tomorrow night. A few moments later, Sam texted right back stating that her cold died down and well to go to school and is really happy for the invitation and interested to check out the concert and watch her. Luna was happy to hear it and went back to sleep.

The next morning, everybody's waking up, they're waiting in line for the bathroom, but it was already occupado,

"Who's literally in the bathroom?" Lori asked knocking,

"It's me. I'm shaving for tonight." I answered, I was indeed shaving my beard. What? Did you think I have no beard in this story? Nah, I do have a beard, but I shaved it for showtime, that's why.

"I'm almost done, just a little a spot and AH!" I said until I yelped,

"Are you okay in there?" Leni knocked asking,

"I'm fine, just cut myself a little." I answered,

"Oh no." Leni whined,

"Don't worry about, all men cut themselves shaving all the time. Just dab a wet toilet paper to my cut and add pressure until stops, simple as that." I said and I finally got out,

"You look even more handsome without your beard." Lori said,

"Not according to her." I said pointing out to Aki, who's whimpering like a puppy,

"What's the matter with her?" Lynn asked,

"Aki doesn't like it every time I shave my beard. Apparently she likes me better with it." I explained,

"You're like the devil with it!" Aki cried out,

"Jeez. Every time..." I shook my head in disbelief,

"Ouch. Guess she really loves the beardy side matey. Hahahaha! But seriously, that was brutal." Luan laughed and changed her tone,

"Eh. She knows it'll grow back, I grew it back when I feel like it." I said,

Much later, in high school, Luna was waiting for Sam and she finally arrived,

"Yo Sam."

"Hey Luna."

"Finally recovered from a bogus cold?" Luna asked,

"Indeed. I was 100% since last night. So what's this tribute performers I heard so much about?" Sam asked,

"Oh yeah, Prince of Pop & P.Y.T. Girls are here to start their American Tour to honour the Bad Tour for Michael Jackson. They came all the from Canada and..." Luna explains,

"Wait. They're doing a tribute to Michael Jackson? I so love 'Beat It', that was my favourite Michael Jackson song." Sam squeals,

"So are you coming to the concert tonight dude? I'll be a special guest guitar player for them." Luna asked,

"Dude. I cannot wait to see them and you out there. So I'm in." Sam said, Luna gave Sam the ticket and be on their way to class.
