Time for some bonding moment with Lincoln and Luna and possibly dealing with some problems along the way as well, enjoy reading this folks.
Family of Two.
Chapter 27: September Pool day.
(The Loud House.)
Lincoln comes out of the bathroom and is in his towel, he finished his shower and is feeling fine and refreshed. "Ah! Sure is nice when the hot water isn't used up." He then heads into the room and changes, but has no idea he was not alone.
His mom Luna is also in the room and doesn't see him either, she puts on her belt and then turns around and sees her son in his underwear and then puts on his blue jeans. Luna chuckles. She then grabs his orange shirt and hands it to him. "Don't forget about this."
Lincoln is a bit startled by this and turns around and sees his mom. "Oh, mom. I didn't know you were in here, sorry." He grabs the shirt from her.
Luna chuckles. "No need to be embarrassed my wayward son, oh sweet child of mine." She goes over and combs his hair. "No one else is here, just us and I'm used to seeing you with no clothes, like old times when we were very little." She then helps straighten his cow-lick. "There, all clean and ready for the day."
"Thanks mom." Lincoln hugs his mom and she hugs him back. "Though, you didn't have to do that."
"I like to be there and help you with whatever problem you got Linc, it's my obligation as you caring mom." they then break the hug. "You stoked for some mom and son time today son?"
"Sure am!" replied Lincoln with joy. "I got all my things packed and ready for our day at the community pool, though Jordan said we could use her pool, but I didn't want to take advantage of her nice swimming pool. I'd rather spend some time with you at a pool where we could just be us."
"Now come on, let's get downstairs and see what Great Grandma Harriet made for breakfast. They both leave the room and head downstairs, but they see their food is in the living room.
Two plates of waffles and two glasses of orange juice. "Huh, I wonder why Great Grandma Harriet placed them here." said Lincoln. They then see the TV was showing Operation Dessert Strom, Family special.
Luna smiles. "Looks like Great Grandma Harriet wants our bonding moment to be special for today, the first Saturday of the month." They then get to the couch and eat their waffles and watch some family special Operation Dessert Storm.
"Still, where the heck is Great Grandma Harriet?" asked Lincoln. They both look around and they don't see any notes but the place seems cleaner than it usually is every day.
But Luna looks out the window and sees Great Grandma Harriet over at Detective Merris's house drinking tea with her at the porch. "Looks like she's making friends, that's nice."
Lincoln also looks around. "I think she did all the chores, the floor seems clean and everything else looks like it was all dusted recently, that's nice of her to do." They then continue to watch the show and eat their food. This was just the beginning of their day to begin.
(An hour later)
Lincoln and Luna come out of the room with their bags. "We got our bathing suits, emergency first aid kits, our phones, bottled water and some snacks. We're ready for the community pool" replied Luna.
"Next stop, Royal Woods community pool!" said Lincoln, then he stops and realizes something, then he grabs Luna's hand. "Mom wait!"
Luna looks to her son and sees his worried face. "What's the prob Lincoln? Something wrong?"
"Mom, do you recall last summer when we were kicked out of three community pools?" asked Lincoln. "What if we're still banned?"
Hearing that was enough to break whatever Luna was talking about. "Oh, right. Well, we don't know if are still banned, maybe we should go and see if we're allowed. I mean news about us have gotten out and we might be let in." Lincoln looks down with concern and doesn't feel like this plan should work.
Luna kneels down to his level. "Lincoln, we don't know if we are allowed or not, we have to go and check it out. This is the first time in this month we're going to be bonding elsewhere. The last time we spend just the two of us around town was when you threw me that late mother's day moment. So let me make this day of ours special by going there. What'd ya say?"
Lincoln felt a bit comforted by his mom's words. "You know what, let's do it. We won't know if we don't try right?" Lincoln then hugs Luna and she hugs him back.
"That's my boy, now come on. Let's go and enjoy this first Saturday and pool day." they soon break the hug and they both get down from the stairs, they then spot Great Grandma Harriet looking through a book she got from Lucy's room. She then looks to them.
"Are you two sure you don't want me to tag along? Something bad might happen and Lincoln could get into deep trouble when he swims."
"You've already done enough by helping out the whole house Great Grandma Harriet" said Luna. "You deserve a break from the work and let us spend this moment together, and we're not going to be alone when we get to the community pool."
"There's nothing to worry about Great Grandma Harriet, We've got this, and if there is trouble then we'll call you" replied Lincoln. He then heads to the door and Luna follows him. "See you when we get back."
Harriet watches as they drive off and she sighs. "Well, looks like I got some more me time." She goes back to her book, but then she hears a noise in the attic. "Lucy's bats again?! Dang it, I thought I got rid of them. I have to get them out of here before Lincoln and Luna get back! They are not taking some blood form them!" Harriet flies up and phases through the ceiling and she goes to the attic.
Then the sounds of screeches can be heard throughout the house, which catches the attention of The Yates family, Detective Merris and Mr. Grouse.
(Royal Woods Community Pool.)
Lincoln and Luna arrive to their destination and they stand outside the gates of the community pool. "Well, here we go." Luna and Lincoln step in and they see a few people and kids in the area having fun and the life guard looking around for trouble. "So far so good."
"Mom, look." Luna sees the banned wall and she sees the pictures of Lori, Leni, Luan, Lyn Jr, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily. But their images weren't there. "We're not on the wall anymore!"
Luna smiles seeing this. "Huh, I guess we've been removed from the ban. Ain't that awesome!"
"We did that because you two are unlikely to even hurt anyone." they see the male lifeguard tell them. "You two have been known to just not do anything dangerous, and we know you're family isn't big and troublesome anymore, so you two can enjoy the pool." Then the lifeguard sees something. "Hey! No running!"
Lincoln and Luna look to each other and smile. "You ready for a pool day Linc?"
"Heck yeah!" Lincoln and :Luna grab their bags and they head straight for the changing rooms, they soon come out and Lincoln is in his orange swimming trunks and Luna is in her bathing suit. (Linc or Swim.)
Luna and Lincoln walk towards the pool and pass by some people having fun. "Alright Linc, now all we gotta do is cause no trouble and we won't be kicked out of here like old times. You can do your cannon balls and swim around, just don't try and hurt anyone while you're at it."
They then place their bags onto the chairs underneath the nearby umbrella. "I got it mom, no trouble." Lincoln then grabs the sun block and has it ready for when he needs it. "I'm hitting the pool now!"
"Hey look! It's the lover boy!" Lincoln and Luna spot some boys that Lincoln knows from school, the very same boys who mocked him when he was with Ronnie Anne. Only Flat Tire and Trent aren't with them. The boys are Elliot Miles, Joshua Rush, Jadon Sand and Morgan Gingerich.
"Ignore them Lincoln, they're just trying to get under your skin" replied Luna sternly. "But if they start crossing the line, then I'll deal with them myself." She then hugs Lincoln and kisses his forehead. "Now go and have some fun, I'm gonna chill here for a bit and join you in the water later."
Lincoln smiles. "Thanks mom, and no need to worry. I knew they might one day show up and start teasing. I got a plan to deal with them." Lincoln then races off to the high dive, and even though the boys were mocking him he didn't bother with them. "Cannon ball!" Lincoln jumps off the board and makes a big splash.
The splash misses the life guard but it does splash onto the four boys teasing him. "Hey!"
Luna chuckles seeing this. "Serves them right." She then plays her radio and reads a magazine while Lincoln swims round the water. But then he bumps into someone.
"Hey there Lincoln."
Lincoln then turns around and sees. "Simon? What the heck are you doing here kid?"
Simon is wearing green swimming trunks and some water wings. "Sam brought me here to spend some pool time with her, but she's going to chill for a while. There she is."
They both see Sam wave at them carrying a duffle bag with their things, and she goes over to where Luna is relaxing. Sam is wearing a light blue one-piece swim suit.
Lincoln does notice the water wings on Simon. "I could guess you can't swim?"
"I can swim, it's just that I'm not such a good swimmer" replied Simon with some slight embarrassment.
Lincoln smiles. "Well, don't worry. I'll teach ya Simon, now come one." Lincoln then helps Simon learn a few swimming tricks, from the butterfly stroke, floating and how to hold his breath underwater.
Luna is wearing her shades and is enjoying the moment. "Hey Luna." Luna lowers her shades and turns red seeing Sam in her bathing suit. "Mind if I join you?"
"Buh …. Buh ….. Buh." Sam giggles seeing her girlfriend act up like this.
Sam sits onto the nearby chair and relaxes with Luna. "Come on Lunes, we know this is the first time seeing each other like this. But calm down, let's not make a scene especially with your kid and my bro here."
Luna snaps out of her trance and she sees Lincoln teaching Simon how to swim. Luna smiles seeing this. "Normally this was supposed to be a Linc and me bonding moment, but I guess two more can join in. Plus I like seeing Lincoln and Simon getting along, like a big brother and his little bro."
Sam chuckles. "Yeah, they're good friends and probably one day they'll be in-laws!" Sam chuckles and elbows Luna, Luna turns red and chuckles nervously. She knows what Sam is saying, but they are not ready for that commitment yet.
Sam then outs on her shades and relaxes and then she looks to Luna. "Well, while Lincoln and Simon are having fun, how was Lincoln's first day in school yesterday?"
"He had a good day when he went back to school and with his friends by his side and of course his gal Jordan, he almost got into trouble with Chandler and his dorky goons. At least the new changes to the school are working fine and bullies might wanna regret trying to pick on Lincoln or anyone else" replied Luna, she then gets worried but determined. "I don't know what else is gonna happen to Lincoln when he continues school, but I am prepared for whatever happens and I'll make sure he stays safe and sane."
Sam smiles. "That's the motherly Luna I know and now love. Simon had a fun time going back to school and hanging out with his gaming club too, he does wanna be part of that internship day thing, but he's not old enough. Lincoln say anything about joining that internship thing?"
"Linc is gonna be teaming up with Jordan" replied Luna. "No clue what they're going for, I just hope they don't hurt themselves or get into trouble."
"Well, whatever happens, they got it" said Sam. "They seem to be a good team when they're together and Simon told me that he heard some rumors about Jordan retuning to reclaim her throne. What's that about?"
Luna knows what that means and then she tells Sam about the dodge ball thing Jordan has and why she is the queen and then she tells Sam that Jordan is going to make Lincoln her king. Which would be dangerous if he learns how to play dodge ball, like her!
Lincoln and Simon continue their swimming practice. "There you go Simon, awesome! See now you're getting it."
"Wow! I can swim properly now, thanks Lincoln." Simon then hugs Lincoln and Lincoln hugs him back.
"No problem Simon, now let's have some real fun." Lincoln splashes him and laughs.
Simon chuckles. "Oh it is on now!" They splash fight and then they bump into someone they did not expect to be there.
"Lincoln?" Lincoln knows that voice and he turn around and sees Christina Éclair. Wearing a one-piece dark blue swim suit, but her hair is still the same.
"Christina? What the heck are you doing here?" asked Lincoln. Simon is confused by this.
"I came here to enjoy some pool time, I did not expect to see you here and who the heck is this kid?" said Christina.
"Oh, this is Simon Sharp. He's Sam's little brother and Sam is my mom's girlfriend" replied Lincoln. "And yes, I am here with my mom and we were going to enjoy our time here in the pool."
"Okay, well I hope you two have fun then" Christina then swims off to another part of the school.
Simon can tell that Lincoln is a bit concerned. "Something bothering you Lincoln?" Lincoln just looks down. "Does it have something to do with that girl? Just tell me, and you'll feel fine."
"Well, Christina was a crush I had last year, but that was after I met Jordan" replied Lincoln. "At first I thought she was the one girl I could love, then I found out it was just a puppy crush and nothing more, so I went back to the one girl I would always have a crush on and that was Jordan Rosato, because sure as heck it wasn't Ronnie Anne Santiago. She's just a friend."
"Wow, that was a lot of story for me to hear" said Simon. "Also, you never told me about Ronnie Anne, did you ever visit her?"
"Mom and I did visit her and it was nice at first, then things turned into a Spanish Telenovela real fast when the rest of her family the Casagrandes got involved, but we resolved everything and all seems fine with us" replied Lincoln. "Ronnie Anne and her friend Sid are welcome to come over and visit us, just not the others."
"At least you're in good terms with them" said Simon. "You sure have one cool life Lincoln and I'm glad to be a part of it."
Lincoln chuckles. "I wouldn't call my life cool Simon, I'm just trying to get through with the new life I have now. Nothing more and nothing less."
"Lincoln, you're big sister is your mom, you have a ghost living in your house you changed the rules of the school, you have a girlfriend who is your long time crush, you made new friends, faced against bad odds and are willing to forgive some who have wronged you" replied Simon. "That pretty much counts as a cool life to me."
"Too bad his life is about to get uncool!" They turn around and see the four boys from earlier looking at them in anger. "Thanks to you, our phones are busted loud! Now you're gonna pay!" said Joshua.
"Stay behind me Simon" said Lincoln, he stands between the boys and the little Sharp kid.
"Not while I stand between you jerks!" They turn around and they see Luna and Sam. "And what do you think you boys are trying to do?" asked Luna sternly.
They all know how angry she can be, but then Jadon talks back. "This has nothing to concern with you lady! This kid owes us new phones!"
"That's what you guys get for having cheap non-water proof phones" replied Sam. "That or you boys are just being big jerks with no sense of morale."
"Leave my kid alone, or I swear your parents will be hearing about this and you boys will regret ever coming to school ever again!" said Luna.
"Make us freak!" yelled Elliot.
"You do not yell at my mom like that you dork!" said Lincoln in anger.
"What the heck is going on here?" They see the lifeguard go towards them. "Anyone care to explain."
The boys thought this would be a good idea. "Sir! These girls were trying to hurt us!" said Morgan.
"Yeah, they're being mean to us and they broke our phones and that white haired kid did the same thing too!" replied Elliot.
The lifeguard looks to Lincoln, Luna, Sam and Simon. "Is this true?"
Luna was about to say something. "Sir, you should see this." Christina goes to the lifeguard and shows her what she got from her phone. "I got the whole thing right here, all of it." The lifeguard goes over and Christina hands the man the phone and he watches it.
The four boys knew they were in trouble and they try to get away, but they're pulled back by Luna and Sam. "Not so fast bozos!" They hold them in place and Lincoln and Simon also make sure they don't go anywhere.
The lifeguard then hands Christina back her phone. "Thank you miss, that's all I needed to see." He then goes over to the three boys and looks to them sternly. "You three just got a permanent spot in the banned wall!"
"But we didn't do anything?! What about them?!" asked Joshua.
"Technically you four started with the teasing and got too close, therefore your phones got wet which you three did not even think about putting them in a safe and non-wet place. Also, that white-haired boy was just teaching that kid to swim which is a nice thing to do and those two girls were defending them from you're attack, so if you ask me they don't get in trouble. Just you guys."
He then drags all four of them away. "Let's go hooligans." He then kicks them out of the community pool, better yet kick them far from the place so they don't do anything stupid. "And take your junk with you too!" He tosses them their bags.
"That's taken care of." The lifeguard then returns back to his chair and keeps an eye on things.
Lincoln, Luna, Sam and Simon sigh in relief. They then go over to Christina who was checking on her phone. "Thanks for the assist back there Christina, we would've been a heap of trouble" said Lincoln.
Christina smiles. "No prob Lincoln, I got your back just like the others. Just not all the time, though this footage will be something the news blog will wanna see and Jenny too."
This confuses them, then Simon figured it out. "You're part of the Royal Woods Grade School News blog?!"
Christina smirks. "You catch up quick kid, I do work for Jenny. That's why I rarely hang out with others, unless I can get a story that kids can know about. Stories that could help others and stop bad kids from doing more wrong and you're still on the front page of the news blog."
Lincoln chuckles. "Well, I guess I have a cool life." Simon and Lincoln fist bump. "And I could only guess you got the video of what they did to me and Simon and what the lifeguard did to them."
"Sure did" replied Christina. "You are going to be the talk of the school once again Lincoln Loud." She then grabs her towel from a nearby chair. "Well, see you on Monday and have fun with your mom." But then she looks back. "And keep an eye out Lincoln and Luna, chances Chandler might not be done with you two." She then takes her leave to the changing room.
Lincoln smiles, but then he frowns. "She's right about one thing, I'm gonna be facing a lot of old enemies who all want to see me humiliated or hurt and I know they'll also come after you mom."
Luna kneels down and hugs Lincoln. "No matter what happens Lincoln, we're both going to face some bad blood and we're both going to stand up to them and show them that we're not afraid. Even though we're both having bad vibes with old memories, we can pull through."
Lincoln smiles and hugs his mom as well.
"And you can count on us as well Luna, Lincoln." Sam and Simon stand with them. "We're not letting you guys fight the fights alone."
"We're all family and so are your friends and we've got your backs" replied Simon.
Luna then breaks the hug from Lincoln. "See kiddo, we're not alone in this fight and I'm not letting anyone hurt you." Luna kisses his forehead and hugs him once again. "I love you Lincoln."
Lincoln hugs her back. "I love you too mom."
This whole thing becomes an emotional thing that makes Simon, Sam and even the lifeguard seeing this shed some tears, they found their mother and son bond strong and beautiful.
Christin sees this and records it and puts a name on it. "Way stronger than a sibling bond, the bond of a mother and her son."
They then break the hug. "Alright, since we all had way too much splash moments. Sort of, what's say we get to those snacks?" said Luna.
"Heck yeah" replied Lincoln.
"We brought snacks too, mostly some pies" said Sam.
"And you guys are gonna love it!" said Simon. "Sam and I made them."
They all head back to the chairs and their bags and they all enjoy the snacks they all brought. Lincoln was glad that this first Saturday happened, he now believes he has the courage to go toe-to-toe with any of his old enemies, even Chandler.
Tyler was the beginning at High n' Buy, he evaded Tetherby's vision, Chandler was close to harming him and those three boys tried to lie they're way out. He knows his mom Luna will protect him from kids and people like them, but he will also do his part in protecting her. They got each other's backs. Always.
A/N: This is for the first Saturday of September, sort of. I hope you all enjoyed it and to those who have read this and known what I can do, PM me if you guys got an idea for a future Chapter. Come next chapter: Some aloe time with the former baby sister, Lily D. Pingrey. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
I decided to name the boys after the voice actors and I know some of them look like the boys that we know as Dennis and Patrick a.k.a Chandler's goons. So let's change it up a notch on who these boys are.
Elliot Miles – short boy with tan skin black hair, pink hoodie and brown pants and red sneakers.
Joshua Rush – tall kid not as tall as Stella, jet black hair with a ponytail in the back, red shirt, ripped sleeve jean jacket, brown shorts and blue and red sneakers.
Jadon Sand – large round kid, military-style blonde hair, yellow shirt, black jacket, grey cargo pants and blue sneakers.
Morgan Gingerich – short kid, no hair just a blue baseball cap, blue hoodie, brown baggie pants and red shoes.
