This is the second chapter to my new story, might seem a bit early and could be off when reading it. But I wanted to get this off my chest, this takes place the following day after the previous one. Enjoy reading this guys.
Family of Two.
Chapter 2. Wheels and Steals.
Just another usual morning for the only two louds in the loud house. Lincoln is done eating his breakfast, he then sees his mom, Luna still eating and also reading a book on driving. He knows she wants to get a ride for the both of them, but she also sees worried. "Mom, you okay?"
Luna looks to her son and swallows her bacon. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine son, nothing to worry about."
Lincoln sits next to her. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Luna knows she can't hide this from him. "Sorry son, I'm just kinda nervous about trying to do this. I want us to have something to drive around town, but to do that I need to get my license. I'm not 16 yet and I'm already planning to get my driver's license." She then puts the book down. "I'm more scared of road hazards and accidents, when you're with me."
Lincoln could understand where she's going at. "Mom, please don't be concerned about that. Things will be okay, I don't really know for sure. But if you think it's a good idea to get your license and a car, then I'll support that. At least the car won't be as scary looking as Vanzilla."
They both still have that atrocious vehicle in the driveway and every time they pass by it they feel tense and uncomfortable.
"You're not wrong about that one, I think I should get rid of her. Or hand her down to someone else" said Luna. "Like Aunt Shirley."
Lincoln then looks at his mom and hugs her." Do you still wanna take the driving lessons mom?"
Luna hugs him back and smiles. "Yes. Yes I do, for the both of us." They then break the hug. She picks up the book. "Now come on, let's get dressed so I can meet up with my trainer." She finishes her breakfast and puts her plate away, she was about to clean the dishes, but then a cold hand touches her shoulder.
They both turn around and see it was the ghost of Great Grandma Harriet. "I've got this Luna, you have to start training with your driving lessons." Luna is wide eyed seeing her, but she nods and steps aside. Lincoln and Luna then watch as Harriet makes the plates levitate and get washed.
"Okay, so umm … we're gonna head upstairs and get changed now" said Luna. Both her and Lincoln head upstairs and are a bit shocked still.
"That's gonna need some getting used to" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, but she's family and she means well. We'll get used to her in no time" replied Luna.
They both head upstairs and get themselves ready for the day. Both of them didn't mind changing in the same room. Though they had to look away from each other, at least Lincoln was glad he didn't have to share the same shower with his mom. That would be awkward.
They then head down the stairs and Lincoln sees the book in her hand still. "Hey mom, where did you get that book? I've been meaning to know since we started this life."
Luna also looks to the book. "Detective Merris gave it to me. I've been reading this little thing ever since the court was over. She said that her partner will be my trainer once I think I'm ready."
"And that's why you called someone this morning after the shower?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, he's probably waiting for us outside" replied Luna.
"Well, let's go and see him then" replied Lincoln.
"By the way, are you planning on something today?" asked Luna.
Lincoln turns red. "Well, when you were calling after the shower, I was also calling someone else. Jordan, I told her to meet me at the Park so we can ….. Hang out."
Luna smiles and hugs him. "Aww! My little boy is gonna go and see a girl! I am so proud of you!" She then kisses his cheek.
Lincoln chuckles and hugs her back. "Yeah, I just wanna know if we have some things in common, before I start planning on a date for us."
They then break the hug. "Well, like I said days ago. Whatever you have planned she'll love it. You're the man with the plan and the best dang kid around." Luna then kisses his forehead.
"Thanks mom" replied Lincoln as he blushes. Great Grandma Harriet sees this and smiles. She was happy Lincoln found someone to ask out, she never saw anything between him and Ronnie Anne. Except for the black eye he got that day.
Lincoln and Luna then head out of the house and they see a yellow Camaro and then they see Danny Q. StoneHeart looking at Vanzilla. "When are you guys getting rid of this thing?"
Luna and Lincoln also loom towards Vanzilla. "Well, I'm actually planning to hand her over to Aunt Shirley. She can come up with something for that dang thing" said Luna.
"Well that's not going to be easy Luna" said Sandra Merris as she arrives. "I got word that your aunt Shirley is not in Michigan, she's gonna be gone for a long while. She's in Spain enjoying her long visit/stay."
"Dang it!" said Lincoln and Luna. "Now that the heck do I do with this oversized scrap heap!" Luna kicks Vanzilla's tire and it blows and goes flat.
"Wow. That van is not durable when it comes to light things hitting it" said StoneHeart.
"Well, I do have an option for you Luna" said Merris. "You could have this thin put into storage, until you feel like passing it down to someone who cares. Is there anyone else who might want this thing?" They all look to the Van once again and see the back fender fall off.
"Depends on who's willing to tinker with something as old as the hippies" joked StoneHeart.
"Lynn Sr's old band mate Kotaro is still in town. But I doubt he'd want this thing, so maybe I could put it into storage" said Luna.
"Don't you're former rents have any other relatives?" asked Merris.
"Rita was an only child and all she has now is Great Aunt Ruth and Pop-pop" said Lincoln.
"Lynn Sr has Aunt Shirley and Uncle Leon. But I doubt he wants this thing, Vanzilla was passed onto Lynn Sr years ago by his dad's. I guess they have a thing for hand me down garbage cars" said Luna.
Lincoln gulped. "I don't I don't have that benefit for scrap vehicles!"
Luna puts her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, don't worry about it Linc. That ain't gonna happen."
"Well, now that we know what to do with this thing later. You ready for the training session Luna?" asked StoneHeart.
"As I rock and roll and I know how set and prepped I am man!" replied Luna.
Both detectives are confused by this. "What?"
"It means I'm ready dudes" replied Luna. She then looks to Lincoln who hugs her.
"Good luck mom! I know you can do this thing!" said Lincoln.
Luna hugs him back. "Thanks Lincoln." Then she recalls something, she knows he doesn't have a bike anymore. Even though Lynn Jr's bike is still in the garage, she knows Lincoln doesn't wanna go anywhere near it. But she recalls she did got him something while he was in the hospital. "Hang tight kiddo, I got something for ya!"
She then comes back with a brand new bicycle. Lincoln looks at it in awe. It was a red bike, with some flame patterns and the image of an eagle on the sides and its own headlight for when it gets dark. It also had some compartments next to the single head light. The helmet is also red with some flames and an eagle logo on it. Same goes with the elbow and knee pads it goes with.
"Wha …. Wha …. What?!"
Luna brings it closer to him. "This is more than just an ordinary bike son. This is a mountain bike, but it can also traverse any kind of terrain. This …. This was supposed to be the welcome back home gift, but I guess I forgot about it while we were bonding. So sorry son." Then Lincoln hugs her.
"It's okay! I love it! Thank you so much mommy!" cried Lincoln, Luna hugs him back.
"You're welcome Lincoln."
The two detectives thought this was so sweet. Merris takes a picture and plans to post it. She likes to keep track on how their progressing being mom and son, and she likes to show everyone updates on how their relationship is going. Everyone likes it when they act sweet and caring towards each other. It also seems to help motivate parents to try and have a common bond with their kids.
They then break the hug. "Well, what are you waiting for Linc? Take her out for a spin, you got a lady waiting for ya!"
Lincoln grabs the helmet and pads from his mom and he puts them on. He then gets onto the bike and he likes how comfortable it was. "Wow, this thing is so cool!"
Luna chuckles. "All in good times to keep my kid happy and motivated for life ahead of him!"
Lincoln then gets off, hugs Luna and kisses her cheek. "Thanks mom, and I hope you succeed with the driving test!"
Luna also kisses his cheek and hugs him. "Anytime and thank you son." They then break the hug. "Now go! You got a girl to talk to!"
Lincoln excitedly gets onto his bike and he rides off, all while also popping a wheelie. "Yeah!"
Luna sighs. She was glad he made his day all the while great. She then looks to the detectives. "Okay dudes, I am so ready for this! So where's the car I'll be driving training in?"
"This one" StoneHeart points to his Yellow Camaro.
Luna is stunned. "What?"
"You heard me kid, now get in" said StoneHeart as he enters.
"We thought it would be great if you tried to get on the wheel of a far greater looking, sophisticated and intense car" replied Merris.
Luna looked worried. "A-Are you sure? I don't wanna break her down or crash."
StoneHeart chuckles. "Not at all kid. I know you got this, and I trust you on steering her as well. Now hop in, the open road is a far better testing ground that the DMV."
Luna sighs and has a determined look. "Okay, okay. For Lincoln." She gets into the driver's seat.
"Okay, so what do you do first?" asked StoneHeart.
Luna turns checks all the mirrors, then she puts on her seatbelt, she turn on the ignition and she puts it into drive. She then backs up from the parking space and she drives off at moderate speed.
Merris is impressed as they drive off. "Wow! She's a natural already. Looks like her drive to be a good mom is helping her drive a car." She then realized what she just said. "Wait a minute, did I just make a pun?"
"Yes you did" said Great Grandma Harriet out of nowhere.
"Oh my god!" yelled Detective Merris as she pulls out her gun. "What the?! You're the ghost lady!"
Harriet looks to her and smiles. "Yes, yes I am. If you wish to know more than please follow me." She heads back into the loud house. "I made scones and tea."
Merris is a bit stunned by this, but she puts her gun away and follows her. 'Jeez! As if things weren't gonna be weird enough.' She then looks to the road where Luna and StoneHeart have just riven off to. 'Luna is gonna be in for a big surprise when she finds out that this isn't just training.' She then enters the house and talks to the ghost of the deceased family member.
(Ketcham Park.)
Jordan waits by the picnic benches with her yellow bike, she also has a helmet and knee and elbow pads on. "Huh, I wonder where he is." Then she recalls something. "Oh right, either he's walking here or he's taking the bus."
"Jordan!" She then sees Lincoln on this new bike.
She's stunned to see this. "Or he's on a bike. A brand new bike! Wait what?!"
Lincoln then stops right in front of her. "Hi Jordan, check out the new bike. Mom got it for me!"
Jordan was impressed by his ride. "Wow! A mountain bike! I rarely see those here in Royal Woods. I mostly see them on TV or when my family is going hiking. How did she get this for you?"
Lincoln gets off. "Well from what mom told me, she got if for me as a welcome home gift while I was still getting healed up. She forgot about it while we were bonding. But it was okay, I can't be mad at her."
Jordan chuckles. "Well, you and your mom really do have a heck of a bond. Wanna go for a ride Linc?"
Lincoln gets back on. "Oh, you know it!" They then ride off on their bikes and they pass by and don't even see Poppa Wheelie, Flat Tire and Rusty Spokes. All three boys bare shocked at what they just saw.
"Wow! Was that Lincoln?!" said Poppa Wheelie.
"That is one sick bike! Or better yet, dang right the sickest bike ever!" said Flat Tire.
Rusty was shocked about something else. "Was he hanging out with …. Girl Jordan?"
"Nah, forget about the girl. We gotta go and talk to him about that bike!" Poppa Wheelie takes off with Flat Tire and Rusty following behind.
Lincoln and Jordan ride out of the park and pass by Carol in her car who waves at them. They make it to the nearest intersection and stop at the red light.
Poppa Wheelie, Flat Tire and Rusty are slowing down as they try and catch up. "What? What the heck? How is he that fast?" said Flat Tire.
"How is Girl Jordan that fast? Her bike isn't even sick!" said Poppa Wheelie.
"Guys …. She beats everyone in dodge ball. So she's ….. She's got enough energy to crank a bike like hers above the sickest!" said Rusty.
They then stop and see Lincoln and Girl Jordan in front of them. They're about to call out to them, but the light turns green and Lincoln and Jordan ride off once again.
"Oh come on!" yelled Poppa Wheelie.
"Hey! Move it kids!" yelled Chunk in his van. With him is Sam, Sully and Mazzy. Rusty and the bike kids step aside and let them pass.
Then Sam realizes. "Wait a minute, was that one of Lincoln's friends?"
"Which ones?" asked Mazzy.
Sam was about to say something. "You know what, I don't really know all of his pals. Maybe it was just some random dudes."
"Enough of that you lot. We gotta see how Luna is fairing with her driving training system" replied Chunk. "I wonder why she didn't call me to test her skills."
"Maybe she knows someone else who can help" said Sully.
(Royal Woods Bike Park.)
Lincoln and Jordan make it to the place and they look at how great and kinda big it is. "So, you wanna see which one of us can do the best tricks?" asked Jordan.
"Oh heck yeah!" replied Lincoln.
The two 11 year olds race through the whole park and start doing some amazing tricks and stunts. From aerial tricks in the air, riding onto some stair railings, riding with no hands or even backwards and popping wheelies on steep slopes of the park.
They have no clue that Clyde is there with Zach and Liam on their bikes. "Wow! Will you look at that guys." said Liam.
"I've seen Lincoln do some cool things, but this …. This may seem kinda dangerous, but I gotta admit he is nailing it and with Jordan as well" said Clyde with joy.
"Yeah, they're both so awesome. No wonder why we're suddenly shipping them" said Zach.
Liam looks to Zach. "Wait, I thought we were done sending him someplace. I don't wanna get a scolding from his mom again."
Clyde sighs. "Liam no, he means we ship them together. Like a relationship that we came up with."
"Oh, that's what you mean. Sorry about that" said Liam. "But don't you guys think they should be the ones to determine if their meant to be?"
"You got a point there, but I think their trying to see if they have anything in common first" said Zach.
Clyde then turns his bike around. "Give them time guys, I think they can make this work. We should also give them some space." Clyde then rides off on his dad's tandem bike.
Liam and Zach also follow him. "Aren't you upset he's not hanging out with you now, it's been like three days?" asked Liam.
"I am, sort of. But I know Lincoln wants to hang out with someone who can make him happy and understand him, we haven't been much into understanding when he went through torture this summer. So I'll give him some time and then he'll tell me what he wants to hang out" replied Clyde. "Besides, change is coming and I gotta get used to it."
Liam and Zach are shocked to hear this from him. "Okay, who are you and what have you done with the real Clyde McBride?" asked Zach.
They all chuckle at his joke. "No, I'm serious. Who are you and what have you done with him?"
While they left Poppa Wheelie, Flat Tire and Rusty Spokes made it to the Bike Park and they are exhausted. "Okay, so they came here …. Awesome! Where are they now?" said Poppa Wheelie.
Lincoln and Jordan pass by them as they laugh. The three boys just watch them ride off. "Are you kidding me?!" said Poppa Wheelie.
"Dude, I don't think I can go on any further" Flat Tire falls off his bike.
"Yeah man, let's leave them be. They seem more interested in each other's company than ours right now and I doubt Lincoln wants to hang out with us" said Rusty.
Poppa Wheelie gets back onto his bike. "No way guys!" He then picks up Flat Tire and he puts him back on his bike. "Now come on! Let's go and follow em." He rides off with Flat Tire and Rusty following behind.
Rusty could tell this was not gonna end well for all three of them. But to Poppa Wheelie, Lincoln's new mom isn't there to help him out of this.
(The Loud House.)
Chunk's Van arrives and getting out is Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk. They then see Detective Merris come out of the house. "Hey there gang, looking for Luna?"
"Yeah, where is she and I were you in their house?" asked Sully.
"And where the heck is Lincoln?" asked Sam.
Then Harriet phases through the door and stands next to the detective.
This makes the band mates and Chunk freak out, the teens cower behind Chunk. "And who the heck is that?!" yelled Mazzy.
"Blimey! It's the Conjuring all over again!" Chunk hides behind his van. The teens look to him, he's a grown man and he just hid.
Harriet and Merris chuckle. "Easy guys, she's friendly. Everyone this is Great Grandma Harriet. The one ghostly family member to Lincoln and Luna and current protector to the house."
"Greetings their children and grown British man. It is a pleasure to meet you all, though I have seen some of you before when you once visited this house back then."
They didn't know what else to say about this. "So, she's not dangerous?" asked Sully.
"Nope, she's more like a spiritual family member to the two only louds of the house" replied Merris.
They stop cowering and regain their courage, sorta. "So, no conjuring stuff is going to happen?" asked Chunk nervously.
Harriet looks to him. "That feels almost racist, but I understand why you'd expect that. Also, stop watching that movie, it will fry your mind with too much information in making ghosts look bad all the time."
They all look to Chunk. "Dude, seriously?" said Sam. Chunk just nervously chuckles. Sam looks to Merris. "So, where the heck is Lincoln and Luna?"
"Lincoln went off on his new bike to hang out with someone" replied Merris.
Sam smiles, she knows who it might be. "Obviously Jordan Rosato, and Luna?"
They then hear the sound of a car coming. "Inbound" replied Merris.
The yellow Camaro arrives and parallel parks in front of the house, without scratching or bumping into Chunk's van. The engine turns off and coming out is Detective StoneHeart on his tablet and Luna. Luna sighs in relief. "Now that was wicked and also not so stressful."
"See, what'd I tell ya? Nothing wrong when you got focus while driving. Looks like you just aced this one kid" replied Detective StoneHeart.
Luna sees her band and Chunk shocked at what she just drove. She chuckles seeing their expressions. "Sup dudes, I guess you all saw that huh?"
They all nod. "Wow! You nailed it!" said Sam. She goes over and hugs her.
Luna returns the embrace. "Thanks Sammy, I was nervous at first, but I was able to calm my nerves and think about why I was doing this driving test early."
"And she did pretty well, I'd say she's an ace on the wheel" said Detective StoneHeart as he hands his partner the tablet.
"Smashing luv! Looks like someone is ready for their actual driving test!" said Chunk.
"Oh man! 15 and you're gonna get a car! You are going to be the talk of school when it hits in!" said Mazzy.
"A lot of kids same as our age are gonna be either envious or confused!" said Sully.
Sam looks to Luna and hugs her again. "I'm so proud of you Luna, you ready for the driving test soon?"
Luna was happy they were proud at what she did, and it wasn't even the actual driving test just a small test to see how she'll fair in driving. "Yeah! I am so stoked! I think I should celebrate with my kid tonight with something special for dinner, like takeout!"
Then Detective StoneHeart and Merris thought it was time. They both approach Luna. "Kid, you passed."
They all look at them confused. "Passed? What do you mean by that?" asked Luna.
He then shows her the tablet and what it says. Luna and the others look at it, they see some boxes all signed into checks and then they see the title at the top, Royal Woods Driving Test. Luna is shocked and looks to the two Detectives. "You ….. This ….. What?!"
"That's right kid, I was actually the driving instructor. I went over to the DMV and asked if I could test ya, and it worked. Now all we gotta do is go over to the DMV, while I show them your results, you have to take the written exam and then we can get you fitted with a license" said Detective StoneHeart.
"We thought this would surprise you, and also your friends" said Detective Merris.
They all couldn't believe it, they all thought it was a small training sesh on driving around the neighborhood before the actual driving test, but it was actually the real driving test and Luna didn't even know.
Luna had no words, but then she saw the detectives go into the Camaro. "Well, you guys gonna tag along to the DMV or not?" asked Merris.
Luna smiles and gets to Chunk's van. "Come on dude! Let's follow em to the DMV! I got a written test to take and a license to earn!" Sam smiles and heads into the van, soon the rest of the band follows and so does Chunk.
They start their engines and drive off.
Harriet waves goodbye to them. "Seems like change is coming at a fast pace for all of us, this is nice." She then goes back into the house.
(Ketcham Park.)
Lincoln and Jordan make it back to the park, they stop in front of the fountain. "Whew! That was awesome! So who won at this small race of ours?" asked Jordan exhaustedly.
"No clue, I think we're tied. Does that sound right?" replied Lincoln who is also a bit tired from their small race.
"I'm pretty sure we are. We did nail some wicked tricks at the Bike Park. I didn't know you could nail some moves like that Lincoln, I am impressed" said Jordan.
Lincoln turns red and scratches the back of your head. "Yeah …. Well, umm. I guess some kind of instincts kicked in when it did happen."
They both chuckle and look away as they sit by the fountain. Lincoln thought, since he's used to hanging around her, even though they only hang out twice outside from school and their friends. He thought it was time to ask her. "Hey Jordan." The Rosato girl looks towards him.
Lincoln takes a deep breathe. "I was …. I was wondering, if …. If you'd like to hang out with me again. You know ….. Like the movies, or at a restaurant, or even a small stroll in the park at night."
Jordan was shocked hearing this, she knows what he's saying. "Lincoln, are you …. Are you asking me, to …. To go on a date, with you?"
Lincoln blushes, but he sucks it up and looks to the girl. "Yes. Yes I am. I have been thinking about it since we started hanging out at the mall and since you showed how much you cared about me during my time in hellish squirrel-ville, I thought it would be nice to …. Hang out with you and see where this goes. I wanna see if we can start something, a spark of love, a relationship even. So, do you wanna go out with me this Friday?"
Jordan turns red and she grabs her ponytail and strokes it. "Wow ….. Just, wow! This is all so sudden, and I didn't think you'd ask me out this soon."
Lincoln is surprised by what she just said. Jordan also realizes what she just said. "You … You were wondering if …. If I was going to ask you out?"
Jordan gets nervous, but also sucks it up. "Yes, I was. I really like you Lincoln, and ….. I wanna …. I wanna see if we can start something. You and me."
Lincoln smiles and blushes and so does Jordan. They then touch their hands together. "So, I guess. Yes, yes I would like to go out with you on Friday Lincoln Loud, it's a date."
Lincoln feels as if his heart is about to beat a racecar after hearing this. "Wow, okay … So I guess I'll see you …. See you at the Royal Woods Theater on Friday?"
Jordan chuckles. "Yeah, that sounds nice." They both look into each other's eyes in a loving daze. Neither of them wanting to stray away and only focusing on each other's stare. Then someone ruins the moment by calling his name.
"Lincoln! Hey Lincoln!"
Lincoln and Jordan turn around and see who it was. "What the heck? Rusty? Poppa Wheelie and Flat Tire?"
The three boys stop in front of them. "Hey. Thank goodness you finally stopped!" said Flat Tire as he falls of his bike and lays on the ground.
"You two were …. Were really fast" Rusty gets off his bike and wipes the sweat off his brow.
Lincoln and Jordan were confused at why they were exhausted, then it hit Lincoln. "Were you guys spying on me?! What the heck?!"
"That is very creepy, even coming from Rusty who's creepy enough when he's at school" replied Jordan.
Poppa Wheelie gets off his bike. "Enough of that." He goes over to Lincoln. "So Chain Linc, we were wondering since you got this pretty sick bike. Would you like to be our leader again?" Then he realized what he just said. "I can't believe I just said that."
Lincoln then recalls what happened last time he joined their little bike group. "Yeah, I'm gonna go with no. No way am I doing this dumb stunt again and sure as heck am I gonna end up almost losing another bike, especially this one."
Poppa Wheelie, Flat Tire and Rusty were shocked to hear this. "What?! Are you kidding me? We followed them for nothing?!" said Flat Tire.
"I actually knew he'd say no" said Rusty.
Poppa Wheelie looks between Lincoln and his cool bike. "Come on man. You're pretty much a cool kid with that sick bike, and we wanna see how much cool we can be with you riding in front as our leader." He then looks over to Jordan. "And she can be part of the team too."
Jordan scoffs. "Heck no, I am not joining some ragtag team of bike weirdo wannabees."
"Hey! We're not wannabees! We're the coolest bikers in town!" said Flat Tire.
"Yeah, that's right." Poppa Wheelie then looks to Lincoln. "And a bike like that deserves to be in a cool crew like ours, so come on Chain Linc. We could use a guy like you on the team, and if you don't wanna be the leader, then how about the awesome silent type guy who makes other's feel impressed?"
Lincoln gets the handles of his bike, Jordan gets to her bike and both of them are preparing to leave. "How about, never in a million years guys. I am not doing anything like this dorky mistake again!"
"Leave us alone guys, or things aren't gonna go so well in the end" replied Jordan with a mean glare.
They both walk out of the park with their bikes. Poppa Wheelie couldn't believe it, Lincoln doesn't wanna be part of their crew or even have anything to do with them. He then goes after them on his bike.
Flat Tire and Rusty could tell this wasn't gonna turn out so smoothly, so they also go after him.
Poppa Wheelie then gets in front of them. "Hey! I am not letting someone like you ruin our opportunity into being the actual coolest bike guys in town."
"Dude, stop! This is wrong" said Rusty.
"Yeah, I'm with Spokes on this one. Sounds like you're going a bit too far" said Flat Tire.
"A bit?" asked Lincoln. "He looks like he's about to do something he's gonna be regretting for a long, long time!"
What they don't know, is that a Van and a yellow Camaro parks in front of the parking lot and some people come out.
Poppa Wheelie looked at the bike and how cool it was. He then gets off his bike, pushes Lincoln aside and gets on his bike. "Hey!"
"Sorry Loud, but a bike as sick as this doesn't deserve to be in the hands of a loser like you! I'm taking charge now!" He then looks to his crew. "Let's ride boys!" But he sees them helping up Lincoln. "Boys?"
"Sorry man, but your taking this way too far now and stealing his bike is so not cool at all!" said Rusty.
"Yeah! I'm now regretting being part of this" said Flat Tire.
Jordan then checks if Lincoln is alright. "I'm fine Jordan." He then looks to the kid on his bike. "Give me back my bike Oswald!"
"No! And my name isn't Oswald, its Poppa Wheelie! This bike is mine, and it's gonna make me a new bike crew, one that's way cooler than the rest of you dorks!" said Poppa Wheelie.
"He said give him back the bike dude!" He then sees who said that. Chunk, Sam, Sully, Mazzy, Detectives StoneHeart and Merris and with them a very, very angry Luna.
"Give. Back. My kid's. Bike!" yelled Luna.
Poppa Wheelie then rides off with it. "Hey! Give it back you jerk!" yelled Lincoln.
"Let's get him!" yelled Rusty.
"I'm with you man!" said Flat Tire. They both get on their bikes and try and chase after him.
Poppa Wheelie looks back at the ones trying to chase him. "Ha! Fat chance losers! Man this bike is so fast!" He then looks to the exit of the park, but when he leaves he hits a car. He's then launched into the air and lands into a pile of garbage. "Oh man, who parked their stupid car there?"
"Me" He sees it was a cop. Officer Schoffner, she looks to her squad car and the dent on the side of it and the name "Loud" on the bike. She then looks to the kid. "You are in a lot of trouble kid."
Soon the others arrive, Lincoln, Luna and Jordan check on the condition of the bike, while Flat Tire and Rusty tell the Officer and the two Detectives about what happened and Chunk and the teens keep Poppa Wheelie from going anywhere.
(Minutes later.)
Poppa Wheelie is waiting in the van of his parents, Luna and Officer Schoffner talk to his mom and dad and they apologize for what their son tried to do.
Lincoln, Jordan, Rusty and Flat Tire sit by the sidewalk looking at all of this. "Hey man, sorry about being part of this. I didn't mean for any of it to go wrong" said Rusty.
"Yeah, same here. I was actually okay just letting you be and I was getting kinda tired of going around following you" said Flat Tire.
Lincoln smiled. "No problem guys, I know you were driven by peer pressure. Something I am not falling for ever again."
"At least he's getting what he deserves for trying to steal your bike" said Jordan. They all look at the grumbling kid in the van.
Rusty then checks his watch and stands up. "Well, I gotta get home now. I gotta tell my dad what happened, chances I'll be grounded."
Flat Tire also gets up. "Yeah, same here. Though I don't feel like riding my bike for a week or until school is up, I am heck tired after today and could use some bed rest."
Lincoln and Jordan also get up. The loud boy and Rosato girl look at each other, Jordan nods to him. Lincoln looks to Rusty. "Rusty, what you did days ago was kinda mean, but after what happened today. I think you earned my forgiveness and trust, you stood up against Poppa Wheelie and helped me try and get my bike back, thanks Rusty Spokes."
Rusty and Lincoln shake hands. "No problem man, and if I do get out of being grounded maybe we can hang out. But if you wanna spend some time with your mom, then that's fine by me man."
Lincoln smiles. "Glad to be your pal again, and I'll also tell the other guys about this." He then looks at Flat Tire. "And I guess I can call you my friend too man."
Flat Tire smiles. "Thanks, maybe we can hang out sometime. Once my grounding is done too."
They then wave goodbye to Rusty and Flat Tire who ride back to their homes. Jordan smiles and kisses Lincoln's cheek. This catches him off guard. "Wha … What was that for?"
Jordan smiles. "For learning how to forgive your friend, a step closer to forgiving some of your old family."
Lincoln smiled hearing that. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Then they see Luna go over to them.
"You two weren't hurt were you?" asked Luna.
"No, we weren't mom and the bike is okay too" replied Lincoln.
She then hugs Lincoln. "Okay, I'm just so glad you stood up to peer pressure." She then also looks towards Jordan. "And you were dang good out there standing up next to my little bro, now I see why he likes you."
Lincoln turns red. "Mom!"
Luna chuckles. "Sorry Linc, but I think I know you asked her out."
Jordan chuckles. "True, we have a date this Friday. Royal Woods Theater."
Luna then looks to her son who blushes and shyly looks away. "Aww, my baby has a date this Friday!" She then hugs him.
Lincoln hugs her back. "Yeah, I guess I do." They then break the hug. "So, what did you talk about to his parents?"
"They said they were gonna pay for whatever damage their son did to your bike, but since it's pretty durable I said I just wanted to see him grounded from them, they said he's gonna be grounded till the end of summer" said Luna. "Though Officer Schoffner is charging them for the dent to her patrol car."
They look to the bike shaped dent to the side of the hood, just above the front tire. "Yikes! At least nothing broke" said Jordan.
"Hey kids!" They see Merris calling them with her partner next to the Camaro. "You guys ready to head back home?"
"We are!" They go towards them, Lincoln puts his bike in the trunk. He then sees his mom hug Sam and high five her band and Chunk, they then get into the van and he drives them home. Luna then goes over to Lincoln. "Alright let's get home kiddo."
They all get into the back seats of the Camaro with the two Detectives in the front, and they drive off. "So mom, how'd the driving test go?" asked Lincoln.
Luna chuckles, and so do the detectives. Lincoln and Jordan notice this. "Mom, what's going on?"
Luna pulls something out of her wallet and shows it to her son and Jordan. Lincoln is shocked and so is Jordan. Her driver's license. "What?!"
Luna had one heck of a story to tell them.
A/N: Second chapter done! Boom! Luna gets her license, will some of you judge me? Yes. Will I take the criticism like a man? Yes. Am I a bit ticked off by those who have judged me for my chapters even the ones from Luck, Nightmares and Fears? Yes. Either way I am liking this a lot! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
