Disclaimer: I do not own Loud House.

Luna jammed on her guitar. Outside she was free to do whatever she wanted as she played. She had her headphones in her ears as she jammed. There she was under a tree in her world of music. Nothing could break her out of it except for someone taking the headphones off her head.

"Hey," Luna taking the headphones back whoever took them.

"Hi," Aria said lowering head in front of Luna.

"Aria what are you doing?" Luna asked placing headphones.

"Trying to get your attention," Aria said with her over contagious smile.

"Couldn't you have just tapped my shoulder or something?" Luna asked slightly annoyed at her jam session being cut off early.

"Sorry but nothing else worked," Aria laughed nervously. "I just wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"My family wants to know if you'd like to come over for Thanksgiving dinner?" Aria smiled nervously for once. "That is if you're not going back to Michigan."

"Oh uh I don't want to be a burden," Luna said starting to stand up.

"Don't worry you won't be," Aria insisted.

"Uh I'm not sure," Luna started to stand up and pack up her stuff. "Sorry I have to go."

"Oh okay," Aria sounded a teeny bit upset but appeared to be hiding it. "Can you just answer by tomorrow?"

"Yeah sure," Luna told her before waving goodbye and heading off.

"The Macintoshes invited you to Thanksgiving dinner?" Melody said looking at Luna with bug eyes.

"Yeah and I'm not sure if I should go or not," Luna said leaning on her bed.

"Come on go," Melody begged surprisingly Luna. "The three of us could go to the high school Thanksgiving football game together."

"I dunno," Luna played with her pencil a bit.

"Well if I were you, I'd rather spend Thanksgiving with people then by myself." Melody thought about it for a moment. "Plus Aria's grandma makes the most amazing pumpkin pie."

"My dad makes good pumpkin pie, and turkey, and different veggies. Then there's Rosa who makes good tamales."

"Who's Rosa?" Melody asked confused.

"Lori's boyfriend's granda," Luna answered.

"How many people are your house for Thanksgiving?"

"Um about," Luna counted in her head. "Twenty-four."

"How big is your house?"

"I mean this year my folks are going over to their place in the city," Luna said now staring up the ceiling.

"Your life seriously sounds something out of a TV show," Melody walked over to Luna's bed.

"What we like experiencing others Thanksgiving tradition dude," Luna pouted a little.

"Then experience Aria's," Melody pointed out with a smile. "You don't know what you're missing her grandma is an amazing cook."

"But would it even be fair to my folks?" Luna sat back up on her bed. "I knew moving here would be hard but not like this. Seriously Aria is too kind to invite me for dinner but I dunno would it be abandoning my folks?"

"I don't think so," Melody said with a smile. "But I know someone you can ask."

"Who?" Luna raised an eyebrow.

"Your family!" Melody said with a smile. "Ask them they have to know the answer."

For the rest of the day, Luna thought about what Melody said. Would her family really have the answer? Both of her parents and older sisters remained in state for school. So, of course, they were home for every long weekend they could. They never had to deal with the possibility of being alone. Heck, Lori lived with the Casagrandes and helped in the bodega when she could. Lori always said that she felt like she needed to make it up to them by helping them out as much she could. And knowing Lori was with the Casagrandes, Luna knew her family would be there for as long as they could.

She sighed and stared at her laptop. It was opened and with one click she could start a video chat. But she couldn't just call them they could be busy or not home or anything else. Melody was out of the room so Luna was free to chat with them. Her finger slowly inched above the mouse and before she knew it she clicked the call button.

Luna quickly gulped and grabbed the pillow as she waited for the answer.

"Luna!" The voice of Rita Loud cheered from the other end. "Lynn honey Luna's on the other end."

"Luna called." Her father said running into the room. Luna saw him run into the room almost slipping on the floor. "It's great to hear your voice it's been so long."

"Yeah it has been," Luna admitted still hugging her pillow.

"Honey are you okay, you sound like something's upsetting you?" Rita asked worriedly.

"I'm cool I just miss you guys," Luna told them. While this was technically true Luna didn't feel like telling them about Aria's invitations here too.

"We miss you a bunch here," Lynn Sr gestured to the whole house. "The day seems a lot longer without your jams."

"I wish I could jam too," Luna tapped the wall gently. "Very thin walls, don't want to disturb anyone."

"You still playing guitar?"

"Everyday Pops." Luna smiled at the thought of playing.

"Luna we are so proud of you following your dream every day," Rita said with a smile. "Even if you are so far away."

"Don't worry I'll keep working on making ya so," Luna said sitting up straight.

"Just doing your best if all we need," Rita said to help her daughter.

"You know what let's get everyone involved," Lynn Sr suggested. We walked to the banister and called out. "Kids Luna's on video chat."

Immediately Luna heard her younger sister shouting her name excitedly. Quickly the Loud sibling currently at the home started running down the stairs. Soon the small head of Lily started to poke her head up on the screen. She saw her older sisters face and started giggling.

"Come on up Lily," Rita said with a smile. In the background, Lynn Jr slipped in the background.

"What the?" Lynn Jr said standing up.

"Apologizes"," Lisa said walking over in the background. "I'm looking on a new floor clearer."

"I drew you a picture!" Lily said holding a piece of paper ignoring what was going on in the back. It was of what Luna thought was of her and Lily. "It's us singing together."

"Aww thanks, Lily I love it," Luna told her and the four-year-old smiled.

"Lincoln you can come into view," Rita said as Lynn Sr tried to break up the argument between Lynn Jr and Lisa.

"Sorry Mom I wanted Lily to see her first," Lincoln said walking into view.

"Do you like my picture?" Lily asked showing her older brother the drawing.

"Of course Lily you sure got talent." Lincoln booped her on.

"Watch out Lincoln she might end up being a better drawer than you," Lana said leaning against a chair.

"That's okay," Lincoln said still looking at Lily.

"Feels like I never left," Luna said with a laugh.

"Are you coming back?" Lily asked with a sad face.

"In December," Luna said softly.

"Don't worry sweetie Luna will be home before you know it," Rita said so the youngest Loud wouldn't get to upset.

"But December is far away," Lily said and Rita hugged her.

"Oh, Luna did the guys find out who was clogging their toilet?" Lana asked jumping in front Lily.

"Gross Lana, why would you ask that?" Lynn asked walking over.

"Agreed the question was rather unnecessary," Lisa added.

"What it's important," Lana defended herself.

"No, they haven't," Luna said to answer Lana's question.

"Okay do we have everyone who is at home present?" Lynn sr asked.

"Yes Luan is at a party for her company, Lola at pageant practice, and Lucy is at a club meeting," Lisa explained while adjusting her glasses.

"That's good we got everyone we can!"

"Oh, Luna what does your school do for Thanksgiving?" Lynn asked to Luna's annoyance. Everyone else gave her a glare sensing her annoyance. "What we were all thinking it?"

"Um well about that," Luna started nervously. "A friend of mine invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner."

"Oh Luna honey that's great," Rita said with a smile.

"Yeah," She said quietly.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I was just nervous about not being with you guys for Thanksgiving."

"Luna we don't care where you are, we're happy if you're happy." The Louds all got close together with large smiles.

"We already have a photo for when we go to the Casagrandes." Lynn said pulling up a framed picture of Luna.

"And there are any left we'll mail you tamales!" Lana raised her arms and cheered. Luna laughed as the chat continued. During a small disagreement Luna slowly pulled out her phone and sent saying, I'm on for Thnakgiving
