Time to go back to school, but this time they're gonna have to do whatever they can to help keep the twins away from Lincoln, even though the twins have the same plan as well. Enjoy reading folks.
Family of Two.
Chapter 143: School and Tactical planning!
The snow has cleared out from town, but the winter season is still ongoing and chances the snow will come back and blanket Royal Woods again, but right now classes are about to start, so let it begin.
( Royal Woods Elementary School.)
Every student at the school, all of them are talking about the arrival of the twins that were once Louds. They're even talking about the woman who took them in and brought them back to Royal Woods. Mrs. Johnson.
Jordan goes to the others. "Guys, has Lincoln arrived yet?"
"Not yet, but we're all kinda worried about him" said Clyde. "I got word from Principal Huggins that Lola and Lana are inside, since Mrs. Johnson does come to the school early at times, which means so do they."
"He is not wrong." They all see Lisa arrives along with Darcy. They go over to them. "Hello everyone, and I know it is a total shocker to see me interact with the rest of you, given the issue of my hands to Lincoln's torment from the summer."
Rusty crosses his arms. "Yeah, we know and we still haven't forgotten, Lisa."
Darcy gets in front of him. "Let her speak, and stop being such a meanie!"
Jordan intervenes. "Spokes, that's enough! Lisa can be trusted, even though she still has yet to speak to Lincoln and Luna, but they can sort of trust her into whatever it is she has planned."
Chloe goes to them. "Jordan's not wrong, the other day, Lisa came to speak with me and Clyde and we're in an agreement to go with her plan and so is she."
They all see Lucy walk towards them, and with her is Haiku. Lucy then sees the little child prodigy. "Lisa."
Lisa also sees the Goth girl. "Lucy, now I know we've all gotten on the wrong foot and I know have….."
"But to the chase and just tell us what the plan is, Helmandollar" replied Lucy. She's serious.
Lisa straightens her glasses. "Yes, yes, of course. Now, the plan is to keep a sharp eye on the movements and whereabouts on Lola and Lana Loud, we make sure they do not run into Lincoln, otherwise it could spell disaster and cause him to undergo a mental breakdown. The one thing we do not want, is for him to see the very image of the one creature that he now fears the most."
Lucy knows. "Alligators, and Lana being much the one who brought him along to her ridiculous alligator wrestling competitions will trigger than damned memory inside of Lincoln's head."
"So, Huggins said he'll inform me of the surveillance footage when classes are done, and the next one begins. The cameras will be able to show where the twins are so we know where to avoid" said Clyde.
"If the twins do close in to the area, then we keep Lincoln away from them. Try and steer him clear of where they're at and take him somewhere else" said Chloe.
Jordan thinks about this. "I don't know if this is a good plan, but I don't wanna see Lincoln break down like that, and it could spark some very protective mother instincts within Luna, and it's the first day for all of us this year to be back in school too. So, are you guys in?"
The others all have doubts, but seeing how Lucy and Jordan trust Lisa, and the same with Clyde and Chloe trusting her. They're all in.
"No way to heck are we letting Lincoln go down into a mess" said Stella.
"We're in on the plan, all of us and we got Lincoln's back" said Zach.
"We'll all do what we can to keep this plan in motion and the twins at bay" said Artie.
"I picked a good time for be the hall monitor for the week" said Polly. "Bring it on."
Lisa smiles. "Now all we have to do is await the arrival of Lincoln Loud. Has anyone seen him as of lately?"
"Not yet, but the twins are inside which we all know and it could be a matter of time before Linc does get here" said Jenny. Then they all hear an engine sound, like the engine of a fast car and it's coming in hot!
They all look to the road and spot her. "Oh, well here they come" replied Haiku.
Luna's purple Ferrari arrives, and all the students know what that means, Lincoln Loud has come.
The door opens and Lincoln comes out, along with his mom, Luna. The kid has his school bag and he goes to his mom and he hugs her. Then they see the others go towards them, and they even see Lisa amongst the group.
They depart from the hug. "Glad you dudes are on the plan, whatever it is" said Luna.
"Lisa's the one with the plan, and we're all gonna do our part to help make sure Lincoln is okay" said Darcy.
Lisa looks to Lincoln, and then to Luna. "I assure you Ms. Loud that with this plan we have discussed earlier, Lincoln will not be suffering from any mental breakdowns, but once he is okay and chances he might be fine with the twins going by him, then we can put the plan to a close."
Luna smirks. "You always had the logical plans, and I thought Lincoln was the man-with-the-plan."
Lisa smirks. "I wish not to take that title from Lincoln, and that is his title alone."
Lincoln then step forth towards them. "Guys, thanks for having my back today, and on the first day of us going back to school for this New Year. I don't know what else to even say, but this means a lot to me, thanks guys."
He then looks to the child genius. "And to you Lisa, thank you."
Lisa nods. "I only wish for you not to suffer any more from anything wrong, you've been through enough."
"We got your back Lincoln, all of us" said Lucy. "There is no way am I letting you down again, not now and not ever."
"We'll help keep your cool in line, until you can calm down and find some peace again." Jordan kisses his cheek and hugs him and Lincoln hugs her back.
"Thanks again guys, and don't worry. I'll also try and keep my distance from the twins who came back, I don't wanna have mom come here and pick me up, and I don't want her to skip class today."
Rusty then thinks to himself. ' Sure wish I could skip class today.'
Lincoln then departs from the hug and he goes over and hugs his mom. "Stay safe, don't lose your cool and if something goes wrong, then Jordan is here to comfort you, and if it does turn south real fast, then I'm coming here, okay buddy?"
Lincoln nods as he hugs her. "Okay mom, okay. See you after classes."
They then depart from the hug, but Luna kisses his forehead. "See you later Linc." She then looks to the others. Keep him safe guys, I'm counting on all of you."
They all nod and watch as Luna walks back to her purple Ferrari and then she drives off, but unknown to them, a robotic dragonfly or Sunburst drone from FutureTech has been deployed to keep an eye on Lincoln Loud.
They all walk into the school and keep track of things around them, Clyde on the other hand is headed to the principal's office to be the one to make the morning Monday announcements.
Lincoln and the rest continue to walk off to their lockers, but they didn't notice Lola and Lana looking at them from another hallway. Lana sighs just watching him walk off. "So, now what do we do sis?"
Lola knows how Lana feels. "Lana, as much as I wanna speak to him, we can't. We're not his family, and remember what mom said to us yesterday."
Lana looks down with an upset look. "Yeah, I know. I just wish we can talk to Lincoln, tell him how we feel and then we can make amends and won't have to be ignored by him and given some very mean glares from Luna, she's really scary being his mom and all."
"Me too sis, me too." Lola and Lana then walk off to their next class, but Lola sees this girl at her age and wearing gray and she looks around the school, nervously. "Hey are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah, sorry, I was just kinda nervous about being here in school. This is my first day."
Lola and Lana smile. "Well, welcome to Royal Woods elementary School, are you in the same class as us?" asked Lana.
"I am, my name is Meli Ramos."
"We'll help you through the school Meli, we can be your friends" said Lola. This makes the girl happy and they all walk into the classroom.
Mrs. Johnson sees this and smiles. ' At least they're making good friends with the new girl, that's nice.' She then walks off to head to her classroom, while also doing the best she can to make sure her twin daughters don't run into Lincoln Loud.
With the others; Lincoln is by his locker and he puts his books away and then he sees Lisa. "Hey Lis, I know things are not so well with, you trying to open up and I understand."
Lisa nods. "Yes, I recall that we had this conversation at the Royal Woods Mall, and I shall tell you and Luna when I am ready to tell you how I feel, once I find the right words for it. I will have the support of my sisters to help me with the talk, and I hope it will mean well to you."
Lincoln smiles. "Same here Lisa."
Lucy also goes over. "I'll also be there, since Linc and I are on good terms and same goes with Luna and Harriet."
Lisa nods. "Yes, I do recall that the local ghost of the loud house is at an understanding along towards Lucy, and perhaps she should come to hear me out as well, and perhaps the new auntie to the loud name."
Lincoln smiles. "Okay Lisa, okay." He pets her head, which makes Lisa smile, and same with Jordan and Lucy. They know that this is another step to Lincoln forgiving the past mistakes of his former family members.
Lisa and Darcy then walk off to their class, while Lucy walks to hers.
Lincoln then closes his door and he walks with the others to their classroom. Then Rusty asks. "Dude, you trust Lisa now?"
"Spokes, we talked about this!" said Kat. "Back off!"
"No, it's fine. Not everyone has the courage, guts or even the mind to understand, that even someone like Lisa needs to be heard out and I don't fully trust her, but if she does wish to speak her mind and tell me and my mom how she has been feeling, then there might be a chance to trust her" replied Lincoln.
He then looks to Rusty. "Also, back off Rust. Lisa is not to be taunted by you, we don't want any bullies in school."
Rusty realizes this and he backs off, he also recalls the school and its surveillance system.
Zach does notice something following them. "Anyone see what I'm seeing?" They all see the robot Dragonfly following them.
"What the heck is that?" asked Stella. "Because that thing looks so cool."
Lincoln notices it and goes back to walking. "Oh right, well my mom called FutureTech and they let her have this Sunburst surveillance drone follow me around, if trouble does brew up, then this thing sends a message to her and then she'll come and see what the issue is."
They all remain silent from this and continue their walk to Mrs. Johnson's classroom.
( Skip, Cafeteria.)
The group with Lincoln all begin to trade lunches, while Lisa is with Darcy and Lucy is with her Goth friends and all of them keep an eye on where Lola and Lana are and the twins are by with Meli Ramos and they look towards Lincoln who is enjoying the chocolate pie from Clyde.
"You two know you can't talk to him" said Meli.
Lola sighs. "We know Meli, it's just that we have to make up to him, but we don't want him to get upset and us getting into trouble." She then eats her cupcake. "I mean, the whole classroom was ignoring us, and not even recalling who I am."
"I get what you mean, Lols" replied Lana. "Doesn't seem like Skippy is noticing me, I just wish he did once before, but not anymore."
Meli feels bad for her two friends, she has heard about what they did and even though what they did was wrong. She can tell that deep down they truly regret their actions, mostly Lana.
"Lola, Lana. Give it time, and maybe when he's calm, then talk to him" said Meli. "Just be patient, and don't rush it. Like what my granny once told me."
Lola and Lana smile hearing this. "Thanks Meli, you're a good friend" said Lola.
Meli giggles. "I was taught well by my granny, my mommy and daddy. So, I know how to be helpful at times, but I'm always kinda shy when it comes to new people."
"Then be glad you have us as your friends" said Lana.
They all enjoy eating their lunch, which Lucy and Lisa notices this.
Lucy. ' Looks like Lola and Lana are trying to change, this could be good and maybe one day when Lincoln is calmed down, they can be able to talk to him.'
Lisa. ' With enough patience, then they can be able to be given the chance to speak with Lincoln. We must remain vigilant and ensure they do not run into Lincoln, or it could truly spell disaster.'
( Skip, after school.)
School is done for the day and everyone leaves the place to head on home, though most wish it was Friday. Sorry, but its Monday.
Lincoln walks out of the school and he sees Luna waiting for him and he smiles and walks over to her.
Luna smiles seeing her son and she goes over and both hug each other. "How was school, kiddo?"
They then depart from the hug. "Nothing much, just pretty much going back to normal classes, and I didn't run into any trouble."
Luna smiles. "That's good to know, we should be heading home now." They both walk back to the car, Luna does look back and she sees the friends of Lincoln and Jodan wave at them. Even Lisa and Lucy are with them.
They all did well in keeping Lincoln from seeing the twins, even though he hasn't even ran into them all day. But at least he's fine and no trouble was sparked.
"So, we do the same thing tomorrow?" asked Chloe.
"Yes indeed" replied Lisa. "We keep Lincoln and the twins away from each other, until he is calm."
"Sounds good to me" said Lucy. She then walks off to her mom's car and all of them go back home too.
Lola and Lana walk out of the school and they see the purple Ferrari, and they see Lincoln and Luna walk into the car, this was something they did not know about.
Lana is fascinated by this awesome racecar, but Lola stops her. "Lana, stop, look."
They see Luna glaring at them. They know that one wrong move, and its trouble for them.
Luna then goes into her car and she drives off with Lincoln back home.
Lana sighs. "Sorry Lola, it's just that the car was so cool, and I guess I nearly lost myself to my love for cars, again."
Lola goes over and she places a hand onto her twin's shoulder. "Don't be sad Lana, I get it and I just wish we can talk to them, but we'll have to be patient. Okay?"
Lana nods. "Yeah, okay." They then walk to where they're mom is, Mrs. Johnson is at her car and they go in and drive off, back home, and then do the same thing that they did for tomorrow.
A/N: At least there was no signs of any trouble, but they have a long way to go to if they wanna keep each other apart. Just until Lincoln calms down and isn't triggered from the sight of Lola and Lana. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
