This time, the Luna-tics will be back in action and ready to do more rock n' roll gigs as they usually do, but with a responsible and less into the crazy rebellious dreaming kind of Luna Loud. Also, to talk about the offer from Katie Crest. Enjoy reading my peeps.
Family of Two.
Chapter 104: Banding Together, again.
(The Loud House.)
Sam's car, yeah she has her own car now. The vehicle is….. A custom colored and FutureTech made Electric Blue Satan's Camaro and with her are band mates Sully and Mazzy. They all get out of the vehicle and look to the house.
"So, why are we here again Sam?" asked Mazzy.
"Because Luna said so, and Chunk should've been here by now" said Sam. She is about to check her phone, but then Chunk's Van arrives. "Never mind, here he is."
Chunk comes out and he goes over to check on the engine. "Well, looks like she still runs. Sorry mates, had to get her to the shop today. Her engine was acting up and they did a quick fix and they said that if she's acting up again, then there could be something wrong underneath."
"You can get to deal with that later, right now we need to know what Luna needed us for" said Sam. They follow her towards the house, then Sully recalled something.
"Wait! I thought we weren't allowed into the house? I mean, Sam and Chunk are allowed. But Mazzy and I aren't allowed due to an angry ghost."
Mazzy also realizes this. "Good lord. Sully's right. We're not welcome into the house."
Then the door opens and they see the ghost herself, Great Grandma Harriet. "Good, you're all here. Please come inside. They have much to discuss with you and no I am not going to go berserk and scare the living daylights out of the both of you."
They all walk into the house, though Sully and Mazzy are both kinda cautious and both try their best to not do anything stupid in the home. They all see the robotic dragonfly drones on some of the doors.
They then spot Lincoln and Luna at the living room watching TV. "Good, you dudes are here." Luna turns off the TV and she moves to sit onto the arm chair, along with her son. She then looks to the resident ghost. "Great Grandma, please give us some privacy."
Harriet nods. "Very well. I'm gonna see if Merris is up for some tea." She then walks out of the house and goes to their neighbors home from across the street.
Chunk sits onto the other arm chair and Sam, Sully and Mazzy sit on the couch. They then see some scones and glasses of chocolate milk for them to enjoy. "So, how're you doing there Lincoln?" asked Mazzy.
"I'm all patched up now. Though I am still kinda sore on the body, but I'll manage and heal in time and my cast is off, which means my left arm is back in working order" replied Lincoln.
"Good to know, at least nothing else bad happened to the both of you and everyone back at school was so worried about the condition you both were in" replied Sully/ He then grabs a scone. "So, what the heck are we here for and how come you're Great Grandma isn't gonna go Insidious on us?"
"Hey. Watch those words mate, you're gonna give me goosebumps" said Chunk.
"Did you watch another scary movie again, Chunk?" asked Mazzy.
"Umm, no?" Chunk then grabs some chocolate milk and drinks it. "So, what are we here for Lunes?"
Luna and Lincoln look to each other, and then to Sam. They knew it's time to tell them what they're truly here for. "Guys, I wanna bring the Luna-Tic back together, time to bring back the band."
Hearing this makes chocolate milk come out of Chunk's nostrils and spill onto Sully and Mazzy who are just shocked to hear this. Sam manages to steer clear before she's hit by nose infested chocolate dairy product.
"Dude! What the heck?!"
Lincoln chuckles a bit. "Okay, I did not see that coming." He sees Sully and Mazzy haven't moved or even spoken anything. "You guys okay?"
Sam then hands them some paper towels. "Here, also when you guys get home, take a bath."
They manage to wipe away the chocolate milk off of them. Chunk even cleans himself of the mess. "Luna, are you serious? We're bringing back the band?" asked Sully."
Luna nods. "That's right, I'm bringing the band back together. The Luna-Tics will be back in action dudes."
"Wow! This is…. Wait, what made you change your mind?" asked Mazzy.
Luna sighs. "That part is complicated and I won't go into detail and Linc here is also in an agreement to the whole reunion of the band too. We're gonna be back, rockin, rollin' and showin' how we musically bowlin'."
Hearing her speak like that truly was the sign of the rockstar lead singer and band leader make an epic comeback to the band. "This is awesome!" said Sully. He looks to Sam. "You knew didn't you?"
Sam snickers. "Yeah, they told me yesterday when I went to check up on them and so we came up with this plan to see how you guys would react with the return of the band, though Chunk doing what he did was something we did not see coming, and also gross."
Chunk chuckles nervously. "Sorry about that luvs. So, I assume you got some other stuff to inform us right?"
Luna nods. "Ya darn right I do dude. First off, the band may be back, but know that the Luna you guys know and love who is into the rock n' roll biz is not gonna be often seen, because sure heck I am not going back into the owl Loud who wants to only win it to rock it."
"We understand" said Mazzy. "And we're still sorry about what happened all those months ago too. That was a stupid idea we did."
Sam then goes on with the words of what they did on that month of September. "You mean obnoxious, reckless, dumb, idiotic…."
"We get it Sam and we still feel bad for doing all that. But, what if that Luna does come out and wanna rock out like the old days?" asked Sully.
"And that's where the second one comes in. Ever since that day, I have learned to change ad control that dumb urge of the past, but I don't know if it will come back and so this will help me." She shows them the necklace that Lincoln gave her on her birthday."
"This will be on my guitar and whenever I rock it out, this thing will be dangling and when I see it, then it'll show me who I am and who I shouldn't become. The old Luna is gone and I don't want her to ever come back. But, Sam and I have a backup plan."
Sam nods. "And that backup plan is to accidently have one of us trip and mistakenly ruin the whole gig to one of the wires that leads to Lunes axe. If she doesn't snap out of it and doesn't look to the one thing that marks as her new life."
"I think we can handle that, Sully here is known for tripping. Remember when we always go onto one of our gigs? He seemed to trip a lot" said Mazzy.
Sully turns red in embarrassment. "Okay, okay. I guess I do sometimes get distracted and also end up tripping over something I didn't see. Yeah, I really have to watch where I go."
"Chances you might end up banging your head on the keyboard" replied Lincoln. They all laugh a little bit.
"Then there's the third thing, should my kid come along. I really need someone and I mean someone!" She looks to Chunk. "To keep an eye on him, if there aren't any other friends who can come along and keep an eye on my kid, then the heck it has to be Chester "Chunk" Monk, we clear?"
Chunk nods. "Loud and clear Lunes, I won't fail you."
Luna looks to him sternly. "You better, and do not get too distracted with the food being served there."
She then looks to them again for the last rule. "Finally, the very important one. Do not go against our backs and come up with some kind of plan. I don't want to have another repeat of what plans you two got for a gig. So, when you guys got an idea on a song, tell us and we can talk about how the song will sound."
"If you guys got an idea on where we should perform next, then tell me and I can do a background check and make sure it's not gonna turn out bad and if one of you needs a break or wants to move the date of the gig, then tell me and don't be afraid to do so. Even musicians have limits and we can't afford one of us being sick and having some kind of issue or odd mood on stage. Got it?"
They all nod at this. Sully and Mazzy still recall what happened when they made up a plan.
"Now, before I go on. Anyone here have some kind of plan or something to say to me?" said Luna.
Mazzy speaks up. "I was hoping we'd join the Royal Woods Spring Music Festival. The place needs four songs for us to be part of it and the whole band has to be ready too and that includes the gear."
Chunk is shocked to hear this. "Blimey! I forgot about that one, they have it every year and sometimes it become the…."
"Family fun fair event, which Linc and I know, and I deeply regret when I tried to do the songs myself" replied Luna as she recalls the memory. Lincoln holds his mom's hand and this makes her calm.
"Well, we can talk about that next time and we're gonna need some time for the songs to be made too" said Sam. "Glad you told us, otherwise it'd go bad real fast and things would be in full swinging chaos."
Mazzy sits back down. "Yeah, glad I told you guys. I don't know what could've gone down if it did go on without you guys knowing."
"So, what is it you were gonna say Lunes?" asked Sully.
Luna then tells them. "The big manager of the musical business, Katie Crest came to this house yesterday and she asked me about this offer again."
"You mean the summer musical tour?" asked Mazzy. "What about it? You didn't wanna be part of it."
Luna nods. "Yeah, I did say that. But I told her I'd think about it and talk with you guys about this."
This shocks them all and just when Chunk is drinking chocolate milk again and he spits it out this time onto Sully and Mazzy, who are shocked at what Luna said. Sam is lucky she wasn't in the line of chocolatey fire. "Dude! What the heck?"
They then clean themselves up. "Luna, you wanna be part of it. Why?" asked Mazzy.
"I reasoned with her." They all look to the white haired boy. "I told my mom to take the offer and be on tour with her idol, because Katie Crest said that this tour is now added Mick Swagger into the mix and I don't want my mom to miss out on an opportunity like this and it's gonna be in the summer, which is a best shot for this to happen and make the rock n' roll dream, feel god damn real."
They're shocked to hear this and then looks to Luna. "He ain't lying dudes. So, what's it gonna be dudes?"
"They told me about this yesterday too, you guys wanna rock and roll on tour for the summer?" asked Sam as she stands next to Lincoln and Luna.
Sully, Mazzy and Chunk look to each other and then back to Luna. "Oh rocking heck yeah!"
They cheer about this, but then Chunk sees Luna, Lincoln and Sam are not cheering. "Guys stop!" Sully and Mazzy stop cheering and look to the louds and Sharp. "There's more to this isn't there?"
Luna nods. "Sit down everyone. We have much to talk about." They all go back to their seating. "Now, I will call Katie Crest to meet me on the Friday after Thanksgiving for the whole agreement, but we need to lay down some rules when we do go on tour."
"We understand, what are they band leader?" asked Sully.
"First, Lincoln is coming with us" replied Luna. This one was not much of a shocker to them. "I am not leaving here in town to be alone, even if there is a ghost by his side to keep him safe. He's my son and my responsibility and he's comes with us."
Sam speaks next. "Second, we do not do anything stupid on tour that might get us into some serious trouble. So not much on pranks, because a tour can be serious and needs to be made properly or the whole gig is messed up and I don't think Katie Crest would be alright with it either."
Luna comes back again. "Third, should one of us be feeling down in the dumps or not so right, then we tell the tour about this and we head on home. Tours can be rough and not good for the mental thing, and I don't want anyone in the band to go through some kinda mental breakdown."
Sam comes back again. "Fourth, we're gonna have FutureTech drones with us to monitor our movement so nothing bad happens. Should something bad happen, then they won't hesitate to send someone to bring down the thunder and lightning and you guys don't wanna see this person of thunder and lightning."
Luna is ready for the last one. "Finally the last one. No reckless and roughhousing at certain places. What's the one thing we know about the tours after the concert?"
"The party" replied Sully and Mazzy.
"Good, and what do they serve at parties?" asked Sam.
"Well, there is lots of food and then the drinks are….. Oh! Okay, I see what you get" said Chunk.
Luna nods. "So, if they are serving drinks we're not supposed to drink, then we head on back to the tour bus. They try to reason with us to do this, we decline and we stay out of that mess. I am not looking forward to any of us getting drunk and doing something so stupid, that it ends up making my son into one scared mess! Do I make myself clear?!"
They're all shocked at the outburst Luna did and this side of Luna is scary, heck seems scarier than Lola Loud back then.
Lincoln holds her hand and she sits back down and he hugs her and she hugs him back. "Lincoln will be with us through the whole thing. I don't want him to see any of us look like a bunch of messed up folks. He's been through a lot and so have I and when people get drunk, they do things… Do things that they don't know what they're doing."
Chunk nods. "Got it, and I'll also not take part of it. I may be a grown-up, but you lot need someone to look after you all, even if Luna is a mum, she ain't an adult yet."
"We're also gonna see to it that we get our own tour bus too" replied Sam. "So, on Friday, we all come back here to the house and we meet up with Katie Crest and we tell her what we have talked about. She doesn't like it, then she can find someone else to be part of the tour."
They all agree to this. "We understand and we're all in an agreement" replied Mazzy. "We'll stick to the rules and the same with the tour, and sure as heck we're not gonna have a repeat of last time too."
"Let's hope it sticks" replied Luna. "I don't wanna have to break up the band again. Because I know you tow have been having a hard time trying to go on with the duet of rock n' roll you do, unlike Sam and I with our duets."
"True, mom and Sam have both been pretty good at being a duet on gigs" said Lincoln.
"Well, they are far more talented in music than anyone else here" replied Chunk. "We're all in an agreement and everything will go on with no mishaps."
They all cheer from this. "So, when's our returning gig?" asked Sully.
"Easy there Sully. We're gonna have it on the first Friday night of December" replied Sam. "We have to come up with some songs, and if you guys got some songs, then tell us and we can see how we can make it work."
Sully and Mazzy nod from this, then Chunk suggests a song called. "Playing with my Band."
"That song sounds groovin'. We'll see how it can go dude" replied Luna.
Lincoln looks around and sees how they're all talking about the return of the band and how they have to settle the rules and also inform this to their families, Lincoln then looks to his mom who's smiling at him and he smiles back.
They both share a hug and Luna whispers to her son's ear. "This change, this will make things better for the both of us. So we can both be happy. I love you do much kiddo, always."
That's all Lincoln wanted to hear, to be happy with this life and to see his mom happy too.
Then Chunk asks. "By the way, what are you guys gonna do for Thanksgiving?"
A/N: The rules have been laid out and the band known as "The Luna-Tics" will be back in action, soon and they will need to talk to Katie Crest about this as well. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Next up: Thanksgiving for the Family of Two.
This is what might happen for next year on the summer:
Music, fans and rock n' roll.
Bonding moments together.
Romance between two lovers.
Accidents, mishaps and health issues.
