Ink-Dub: Really? Sorry. I'll not make the characters question it again.
Tristen: Thanks and you already know the answers.
Now let's start this!
Chapter 5 - The City Tour
2 September, Monday, 8:34 AM, Webster's House
After the day of buying stuff, everyone was tired. They had even to stop at a library before going back home, to buy the school books. It was said that they bought at the mall some school stuff but it didn't surely include the books for the subjects, since that place, was not cheaper than that library. At home, there was nothing special happening. Just chatting, eating at dinner, taking a bath, watch tv and go to sleep. However, today would be the perfect day to tell what happened, even that is things that someone can expect to happen.
Right now, Lincoln started waking up and stretching for a new day. Then, he got downstairs, on the two-story bunk, revealing orange pajamas, and got out of the bedroom, to get to the bathroom. There, he sees his new brother, in his light blue pajamas, waiting at the door.
- Good morning, George! Waiting to use the bathroom? - Lincoln asked.
- Yes, I am! - George answered, with an impatient tone - Your sister is taking forever to get out. She is taking a bath or what?
- Don't be like that! - Luna yelled, from the bathroom - I was here just for 6 minutes!
- Sorry! My patience is not the best!
- Anyways... Mom and Dad already went to work? - Lincoln inquired again.
- Yup! They woke up earlier for work. And we will do the same tomorrow when school starts.
The Comic Fan groaned at this. Dang... He forgot... In many schools, the first day can be between late August and early September and they had to choose the 3rd day of September. But... It could be worse. How? By the first day be a Monday, like today.
- Yeah... It will happen...
- I don't like it either, bro. But we can't do anything about it. - George stated.
- True. But one thing that I can't believe is that Elementary, Middle and High School are all mixed in one location! In my city, it's separated!
- The previous president decided to reduce costs and approve the construction of a big school to join all grades between 1st and 12 grade.
- Wow... Very smart! - Luna said as she was hearing and exiting the bathroom, revealing her purple pajamas. - What happened with the other buildings?
- Where it was an Elementary School, was remodeled into a big library. In the case of Middle School, it was destroyed to make a tiny park. And the High School lost half of his size to apartments and the rest was converted to a temporary homeless shelter until the official buildings were made. Then, it was transformed into three big shops.
- Big change! - Luna and Lincoln declared.
- I know! - Then, George gets distressed due to his necessities - Need to go! NOW!
At that, the brown-haired boy runs inside of the bathroom and closes the door with force.
- See you all in the kitchen! - Luna said as she was going to her bedroom.
After that, Lincoln just waited for his turn until his brother got out of the bathroom. At the same time, Luna was going downstairs. Her new casual clothes are a purple jumper with a guitar going through a skull and a purple and white skirt. She has another purples boots to use. Later, Lincoln got out of the bathroom and gone to his room, where George got out, in the same clothes when he went back home, after that sleepover. Finally, Lincoln got out in his new casual clothes: Orange and white polo, blue pants and white tennis. And, for your information, if it was an episode, you would see them mostly with these clothes.
Anyways, when the white-haired boy came downstairs, to the kitchen, he sees her sister and his new brother eating some cereals, soo he takes some too. When he sits to eat, he raises a question:
- Soo... What we will do today?
- Still thinking about places we can all go. - George proclaimed - Maybe we could go to the park.
- We already went to the park all mornings, before being "part" of your family! - Luna told.
- Ok ok... How about... Uh... Dang it! Thinking about a place we can all go to show you is hard!
- Calm down, "Geo"! - Lincoln exclaimed - God... Don't stress yourself out!
- Sorry... - The brown-haired boy got an idea, while he clears his throat - How about I show some things about my city? I have some known of a ton of places.
- Not bad... The stress helped you on getting the idea? We should stress you out all the time!
George glared at Lincoln, due to that comment and acknowledged:
- Don't push your luck at that.
Even though the white-haired boy didn't feel well with the word "luck", in that context, he still chuckles at that.
- Geo, I wasn't taking seriously.
- I know... I know... I just didn't like that comment anyways.
- Let's just eat the cereals and have a walk, little bros! - Luna notified.
- Alright! - The two boys answered back.
Pendusky's Streets, 9:03 AM
After their breakfast, they locked out the house, where Luna kept the keys on her pants' pocket and left to these streets.
- There is a house. Then another house. House. House. And... Oh, wait! - George said - Forget! It's another house!
- George. - Lincoln announced - I have a friend that showed part of the city like you are doing!
- Hey! It's not my fault that this street has only houses!
Luna laughs at this argument and tries to calm them down:
- Let's just talk about other things, while walking.
- Alright, alright... - George grumbled. Then, he says - Soo... Can you tell me your relationship between you and your sisters?
- Well... I can guess that mine is not bad. We have our disagreements but that is normal.
- Normal is activating the Sister Fight Protocol. - Lincoln said, with sarcasm.
- Sister Fight Protocol? What is that?
- I'll tell you. - Luna declared.
In that, the rocker girl tells to the "Little Brother" a summary of all about that protocol. From the levels of anger to the interventions. It made "Geo" very surprised.
- Wow... Not bad...
- Yeah... It would be better if it included me before it is dismantled.
- What? Dismantled? Not involved? What do you mean? You are involved! Right, Luna? - Then, he sees that she is rubbing her back and with a regretting face. - Wait... He didn't have a place on the SFP?
- Nope... And that ended up making an incident.
Lincoln and Luna tell him everything that happened in that incident, without omitting any detail. Of course, he made him shocked and a little mad at Luna.
- SERIOUSLY? He was trying to help and you yell at him accusing of making the things worse? It may be true but being that harsh... - He scoffs at that last words - Unbelievable... What happened after Lincoln accidentally causing another SFP?
- Well... After that, we calmed down, and when Lincoln came out, I and my sisters blamed him for causing that. - Luna confessed.
- I was soo angry at that. I just... Yelled out how much they treated me unfairly and that they never included me. I ran to my room and I didn't talk to them since that action. It took like one week until I was forced into a sibling meeting. But... Thank god that I was forced. It was to end the SFP. They apologized for what they did to me. I forgave them. Of course, I end up revealing some things. I was no angel there but they are most of the blame.
George surely didn't know what to say. He recognized that a large family is not easy to not having fights but that one is just... Wow... They had gone that far? Fortunately or unfortunately (depends on the person's view), his thoughts were stopped when he crashed into a car and fell to the ground. It looks like that he was soo distracted that he turned to right without knowing. Luckily, the car didn't have any damage (Obviously) or, in the best-case scenario, started beeping but it didn't turn false the fact that he was embarrassed and a little hurt.
- Ouch... I should have asked that information when we weren't walking.
- Yeah... I agree. - Lincoln said. Furthermore, he tries to help him get him up and declares: - Try to not make a big deal at this. It was past and I already resolved the things up with my sisters.
- Okay... Let's continue. That is just very bad.
- At what scale?
- Enough to be controversial if that was into a show.
Unknown Pendusky's Statue, 9:37 AM
After more walking, they reach to a certain statue of that city. Whoever was that one in the statue, it gains the attention of some people, mostly native of this city.
- George, who is that person in the statue? - Lincoln interrogated.
- It's the founder of our city. - George answered back - It's very known for almost any native of Pendusky.
-Really dude? - Luna asked - In that, you can tell the story of the city's foundation?
- Sure! - He clears his throat before starting to tell the story - It all started between May and August, in the year of 1818. There was an American soldier in the middle of the First Seminole War that was unfairly accused of being a traitor after being caught taking care of a Seminole Man. When they tried to arrest him, he ran away. His name was Benjamin Morris. He was normally called "Pen" for an unknown reason.
- Understandable! - Lincoln proclaimed.
- Yup! Anyways, it took until between December of 1818 and March of 1819, when he reached a small town called Malusky. This town was ruled by a bad leader for your known. He found refuge in a friendly pub and told the occupants what happened. Normally, they would send him to the army to be arrested but... They didn't. They felt sorry for him and agreed to help. Days later, the ruler found out and ordered a guard to imprison him. Before they could do it, a part of the population surrounded the guard and killed them, not without some casualties of the people. Impressed by that, Benjamin offered to help by taking the leader out of control. They agreed and they did it. There was sent an army to control the city again and, at that, Benjamin was killed by gunfire. The town went mad and spread to neighbor towns, where they armed rebellions against the army. Seeing that there is a chance of a civil war, the army offered to clean any accusations against the now-dead Benjamin and leave the city alone, where it was accepted. In honor of him, known as the "Innocent Solider", the new leader renamed the town to Pendusky, to join the solider's nickname to the old town's name, in a way to fit. The town grew to a city. There were rough times during the American Civil War, 1905 and in the Great Depression but everyone made enough effort to make this good city.
When he finishes the story of the City's Past, Lincoln and Luna were very surprised at this. Wow... Big story! And very interesting.
- Woah... That is a good City's Origin! - Lincoln declared openly.
- Yup. When I heard about it, the first time, I thought that was a legend!
- Good... - Luna expressed. - Anyways, what more places you have to se-
- HEY GEORGE!
Everyone looked away to see a boy and a girl at Lincoln's and George's age. The boy has dark orange hair. He wears a blue polo with lightning drawn there, black shorts and black tennis. In the case of the girl, she has blonde hair. She wears red glasses, a red t-shirt, a dark skirt, and white shoes.
- Gabriella! Leo! Nice to see you back in the city. - George yelled as he runs to them and does high fives. Then, he inquired: - How your vacations elapsed?
- Very good, to say the truth. - Gabriella acknowledged - On that beach, I could found two old hand clocks, with my metal detector. - Then, she sighs - Unfortunately, they had a value of fewer than 250 bucks!
- At least, you had fun. - Leo retorted - In that Summer Camp, only the climbing activity was fun. The rest was boring as hell! And you, George?
- Good too. Going camping it's still fun. And, recently, I had changes in my family. - He looks back to call - GUYS! Come here!
At that, Lincoln and Luna decided to go near to them and, when they did it, George introduced each other.
- Gabriella, Leo! This is Luna and Lincoln. They are my adopted siblings. Luna, Lincoln! They are my friends, Gabriella and Leo!
- Hi! - The adopted Websters and George's friends said to each other.
- Hey! Good clothes! You have chosen yourselves? - Gabriella eulogized and inquired them.
- Yup, we did! - Lincoln replied.
- That's nice! And you are liking this city? - Leo asks and gets hit in his elbow by the 11 years old girl.
- What type of question is that?!? Of course, they are from here!
- Actually... We aren't really from here, Gabriella. - Luna answered back.
- Oh... Really? From what city you lived?
- Royal Woods.
- Royal Woods? I don't know any city of Ohio with that name! - Leo announced.
- Because is not from Ohio. It's from... Michigan.
That acknowledgment clearly surprised the two kids.
- MICHIGAN? - Leo yelled.
- How you are of Michigan and got adopted in this city?
- Uh... Well... - Lincoln says, a little unhappy at remembering that memory.
- It's a... Long... Story... Do you know? - Luna pleaded a little unhappy too.
- What happened then? - Gabriella inquired - I mean... You don't need to tell us if it's excessively personal!
- Don't worry. We still can explain everything to you. How about to sit?
At that, they all sit on the bench to the story to be told. After that, we can obviously guess his friends' reactions.
- And... I should have my mouth shut! - Leo said.
- God... How you survived in that month and half of being homeless kids? - Gabriella pointed out.
- I think that our fate aided us. We end up being lucky! - Luna said
- It's very seen since you are here.
- Yup. It was! - Lincoln confirmed.
- Okay... - George announced - Since we are all information, how about we continue our walk? - Looks to Leo and Gabriella - You can come with us if you want. Extra help on showing the city could need!
- Alright! - Everybody else declared.
In that, they got up and resumed their "journey".
Fair, 10:57 AM
After more jaunt, they reached to a very loud fair. More than selling booths (Clothes, toys and all of that stuff), there were some fun attractions.
- Looks like this place is louder than Luna and my other sisters combined! - The Comic Fan exclaimed.
- Yup! It's the Annual Almost Autumn Fair. - Leo said, as a joke.
- Huh? What type of joke is that?
- One that you need to understand, you dumb.
- Dumb is your comedy! It's very bad. - Luna defended.
- Guys! Guys! Let's not fight! - Gabriella ordered.
- Alright! But seriously: Why you made that joke?
- Because this fair appears always one month before Autumn and goes away before the start of that season!
- Oh... Ok. - Lincoln recognized.
- How about we have fun there? - Gabriella proposed.
- Not a bad idea! - Everyone else said.
Then, they came into that big fair. Looking around, there are all generic things on a fair: Games, Seeling Booths and attractions. Soo... There is nothing much to tell about it. However, it doesn't that would be boring anyway. In the end, they decided to go into one of the two "car bumping" attractions. One was for kids and the other one for the older ones, where they went.
The prices weren't expensive. Only 1$ per round of bumping around. They had to wait too that the earlier round to turn on their chosen bumping cars. These cars had a special feature. In each one, there was a tiny flag. And if you're asking for what flags they got, there is the list: Lincoln and Leo got a car with Italy's flag, Gabriella got a French one, George got a car with Spain's flag and finally, Luna got the British one. What a coincidence for the last one (Due to her accent. I wish I can replicate it in my fanfics). Anyways, when the round ended, they turn on the cars by using a token.
- Ready guys? - Luna shouted.
- Ready!/Wish me luck! - The gang replied.
- Okay... - Then, the rocker girl hears the beeping sounds, to indicate the time until the round starts. - In 5!
- 4! - Lincoln shouted.
- 3! - George screamed.
- 2! - Gabriella exclaimed.
- 1! - Leo exclaimed too.
- Now! - They all yelled as the cars are officially activated.
The fun starts. As George and Lincoln try to bump their friends, Gabriella started to chase only Luna and Leo around.
- Eat our dust! You won't hit us! - Leo joked away.
- We shall see that! Trust me! - The 11 years old girl countered.
Luckily, the space of the cars driving around is not very big, soo it's hard to not bump. Unfortunately, Gabriella ends up bumping other kids and, more rarely, Lincoln and George. Taking about them, they end up making competition to see who will bump more people, not counting the times they bump each other's cars. Lincoln did 6 times right now but George is winning by 9 times.
- I'm feeling the victory in my hands! - George yelled.
- If my second oldest sister was here, she would be confused at how you can feel that! However, you will not have that feeling forever! - Lincoln answered back.
At the same time, Leo and Luna decided to hit against Gabriella without her doing it at the same time. They try to pass from the other bumping cars and they were behind her. Gabriella notices it and turns around. Fortunately, it wasn't near enough to his "enemies" hit her but it was enough to her hit them at the same time. It ends up making some chest pain due to the force of the bumping.
- OUCH!
- Got you! - Gabriella shouted.
- No! We got you! - Leo and Luna yelled back.
- Sorry but the truth i-
- AUGH! - The three cried out.
This yelling of pain was due to the other cars, including Lincoln and George hitting them and the others. Some felt some chest pain too and one or two had headaches. Their luck to not having more pain was due to the round timing up.
Time skipping, they are at a game booth, where... Wow... How original! Throw balls to cans (Sarcasm here!). Anyways, they try to take them down but it turns impossible as they constantly fail. Then, when Leo hit the cans, they didn't get out of the place. It made him confused and inquired:
- What? How I didn't take the receptacles down?!?
- Sorry kid! It may be due to force! - The Fair Man replied but it's seen that he is lying.
- Wait a minute! - George said.
He throws three balls at the same time to some cans to take them down... All glued together!
- What in the world?!? This game is addicted! - Luna confirmed in shock.
It made the gang and the others angry and started throwing the balls at the cheater of the fair man, that is trying to cover himself. Later, they are eating some hot dogs. Gabriella is trying to put ketchup on her food but it accidentally sneezed to Lincoln. He tried to do the same to her, this time with mustard. But he fails as it hits George. He retaliates but ends up hitting Leo and Luna. Due to that, they laughed.
Pendusky Streets, 5:28 PM
The rest of the day was just playing more games, chatting with each other and even going to the museum for a while, not without Leo almost falling asleep.
Right now, Gabriella was checking her digital clock for the hours. When she finishes...
- Sorry guys! Need to go! Mom told me to come home by 6 PM! Need to be fast! - Gabriella informed.
- I need to leave too. - Leo sighed - Dad would ground me again if I get late. I have the luck that I have a tolerance of 10 minutes.
- Yeah... We should go too. - George said - Our parents would be worried.
- Okay! - Lincoln declared - It was nice to meet you two! See you at school!
- See you at school too! - The two friends asserted.
At that, the group broke apart from their homes. As they go back home, George asked:
- It was fun for you?
- Yup, it was Little Brother! - Luna answered back - There are many places to visit!
- I agree! - Lincoln agreed - I hope our good luck continues like that. - He looks to her sister - I am right?
She nods at this. Ah... It may be a little time skip but seeing them going home after a fun day can be very good.
3 September, Tuesday, 7:55 AM, Websters' House's Entrance
In next day, the Websters kids are with their backpacks (Orange, Purple and Light Blue for Lincoln, Luna, and George, respectively) to go the boring day: School day. At the same time, Susan said to them:
- I wish you a good return! Have fun!
- Thanks, Mom! - The kids replied.
At that, they left home and gone directly to their school. Then, as they are walking to school, Lincoln looks to the reader and explains:
- It's another day being part of a new family. Today, we are going to school. It might not be the funniest thing ever but doesn't mean that there won't be good times there. More than meeting classmates, there will be knowing all rooms of the building to avoid to be fooled at thinking that is the bathroom but actually is the dump room.
When he finishes, they are already at school.
- Well... Time for another school year. Wish you the best. - George said.
- Thanks and to you too! - The ex-Louds replied.
It ends up making them step inside of the school for the first day of school of meeting new friends (More in Luna's case).
Thanks for reading.
My next story will be a good project. In the start, you will think that is generic but then, you will see that there is somethibg different.
Before going, sorry for making Brawl in the Family cannon but I couldn't resist doing it. I don't like the episode before you have some thinking. The extended ending may not be original but hey! All the ideas are already used!
Thanks again and see you soon in another story!
