A nice day to go and check on their city neighbors, the Casagrandes, and some episodes we know will be mentioned as well, with some slight mentioning's on how Ronnie Anne and Sid are doing with they're budding relationship and yes, I am a damn proud shipper with them. Enjoy reading this guys.

Family of Two.

Chapter 146: Another visit to Great Lakes.

( Great Lakes City.)

The purple Ferrari arrives and parks near the car of Carlos and coming out, is Lincoln, Luna and Jordan. ( Michelle Lewis is at work and also having some plans for an upcoming reunion and how to deal with her former family.)

Jordan looks around the city. "You know, it always makes me feel alive when we come here. Like, it's a natural and calming sensation, that or I was in New York once and I was used to some tall buildings and the sights and sounds of big cities."

Lincoln chuckles. "Still kinda shocks me that you actually went to the big NYC."

Jordan giggles. "Well, my parents were going on vacation and so they brought me along and it was awesome! Though, to be honest, the hotdogs here in Great Lakes City are better."

"Thanks." They see the hotdog vendor Bruno go towards them. "Glad you guys came, here. On the house, for saying my dogs are better, also I am gunning in for winning the Bog Great Lakes city hotdog contest three days from now."

They takes the hotdogs from the guy. "Thanks Bruno, and good luck on the big contest" said Lincoln.

They then go their separate ways, why? Lincoln and Jordan are gonna go and check on Ronnie Anne and Sid, while Luna checks out the Mercado for anything that might be worth bringing back home.

Lincoln and Jordan soon make it to the front of the apartment and they see Ronnie Anne and Sid on their skateboards. "Hey girls" said Lincoln and Jordan.

"Hey guys!" said Ronnie Anne and Sid. Sid goes over and hugs them both. "Good to see you two, again."

Lincoln and Jordan hug her back, and then they depart from the hug and Ronnie Anne goes towards them. "Yeah, Sid is still as affectionate when it comes to seeing some friends we haven't seen in a while."

"Well, now that we're here, where should we hang out?" asked Jordan as she eats her hotdog.

"We can go to the hang out place, it is our turn after all" replied Sid. They all go into the apartment and head down the halls and pass by CJ who is playing pirate.

"Hi there CJ." Lincoln high fives with him.

"Hi there, Lincoln. If you feel like it, we can play pirates later" said CJ as he waves his toy sword.

"Let me think about it CJ, I'll talk to you soon, dude." Lincoln follows Ronnie Anne and Sid and they go into the hang our place. The whole room makes Lincoln and Jordan have stars in their eyes.

"This. Is. So. Awesome!" said Jordan. "And look at the T-Rex head, it's like it's coming in!"

Sid chuckles. "Thanks, thought it was a good add-on, and it does kinda make it look scary and cool."

They then chill by the bean bag chairs. "Man, you guys should've been here for New Year's Eve!" said Sid. "We lit the sky with so many pretty lights and dang it was….. Well, nice when this gal shocked me more than the light show."

Ronnie Anne blushes. "Well, the timing seemed right and you were next to me and it was New Year's Eve after all."

Lincoln and Jordan know what she means, and this makes them smile. "Well, the whole Sidonnie thing seems to be working out well" said Lincoln.

Ronnie Anne snickers. "Wait, wait. Sidonnie? Really? You guys just gave us a…."

"I love it!" said Sid with such excitement. "We should totally tell that to the others Ronnie Anne!"

Ronnie Anne chuckles nervously. "Slow it down there Sid, let's not get way in over our heads. I mean, sure the school knows we're a….. Thing, but I don't think telling them the whole shipping name is necessary, yet."

Jordan smirks. "Well, Linc and I call ourselves Jordacoln and we don't seem to mind when folks at school call us that when we're together, but we rarely hear it because it's not that trending much in school, but we know it will."

Sid smirks and she relaxes and leans onto Ronnie Anne's shoulder. "I think the whole Jordacoln stick is gonna last until the day you guys pass away or something, and chances your mom will be there to watch it go through, right?"

Lincoln chuckles. "Knowing my mom, it could happen. I mean, it's nice to have mom around, she means a lot to me and she knows when I need some me time, or some time with this gal." He then kisses Jordan's cheek.

Jordan giggles and kisses his cheek. "I respect that and I'm cool if the day comes that Luna stays with us, would be nice to have the grandma around to help with the kids."

Lincoln chuckles. "Yeah and..." He then stops and looks to Jordan and blushes. "Wait, kids?"

Jordan giggles and boops his nose. "You heard me, handsome."

Sid smiles seeing this. "Oh, you guys are oh so cute together! Kinda like me and Ronnie Anne."

Ronnie Anne chuckles nervously at what Sid said, then she calms down and looks towards Lincoln. "So, what's new with you guys?"

Lincoln and Jordan stop talking, they didn't know how to break it down easily to Ronnie Anne and Sid. I mean, the New Year's Eve was nice and all, but then know they have to tell them about the ones who came back to town.

Then Rosa comes in. "Hello Lincoln and Jordan, CJ told me you kids are here and I brought you some Tamales and even some Hot Chocolate since the weather is still kinda chilly."

She then sees the nervous look from Lincoln, he has something to say and the moment is a bit ruined. "What? What's going on? Was it something I said?"

( Casagrande Mercado.)

Luna is already in the Mercado and she goes through the aisles and she looks at the stuff being sold there. The merchandise there does seem to be almost the same as the one she sees at the local grocery store, though she shops at High n' Buy.

As she goes through the isles, she fails to see Carl sneaking around. ' Okay, so if I can recall. The louds are loaded with so much cash and if I slash some prices or raise some prices she might pay so much!'

Carl sees Hector is asleep and Bobby is restocking the mangoes and also helping Mabel, which means he can man the register. He then gets to action and he sneaks away and has the price tag gun ready.

Carl then places some slightly lighter prices onto the items and Luna notices the stuff. "Dude, what the heck? How did the pudding cups go from 2 bucks to 5?"

Luna then sees the milk has been raised too, and some of the fruit and the chips and other products. "What the heck?" She then sees Bobby is busy, so she can't ask him and that lady seems a bit too demanding, especially when it came to the mangoes.

Luna sighs and she grabs some of the products and she puts them in the basket, but she has this feeling something is wrong. She then checks the items she managed to snag, that were more affordable.

Luna then looks at each item, "Okay, so I got eggs, milk, bacon, some chips, chocolate chips, baking powder, sugar, coffee, lemons, chocolate pudding cups, oranges, sodas, tea leaves, noodles and…." Luna looks closely at what she's reading. "Coriander."

She then heads to the register and she sees Carl manning it. "Hello Mrs. Loud, how may I help you?"

Luna sighs in annoyance at this kid. "Dude, I'm not married, and can I have someone else here on the register?"

Carl chuckles. "Sorry, but Abuelo is asleep and Bobby is well…" He then sees Bobby still helping Mabel. "Helping our toughest costumer and he could be a while, so best let me handle…."

Luna takes the basket. "I think I'll wait for someone more decent and less of an annoyance to man the front line, dude."

She takes the basket and she walks back to go through the isles again. Carl is angered by this. ' Come on, are you kidding me!' He then waits, he knows she can't wait forever for someone else to man the register, so Carl thinks of a plan and he has one.

Carl then sneaks away and he then goes behind the stand of the mangoes and he grabs the mango that Mabel would be looking for and he hides it amongst the oranges.

Luna then looks to her watch and then she sighs. "Dang it." She then walks back to the register, and she sees Carl smiling. "Let's get this over with dude."

Carl nods. "Absolutely Mrs. Loud, also we take cash or credit card." That was something Luna did not like to hear from this kid. Carl then grabs the carton of milk and he checks on it with his back facing her, and he places a new and higher tag.

He then writes it up. "This milk carton is 50 dollars." He then grabs the sodas and does the same. "And these Sodas are 50 dollars too."

Luna is shocked. "What?! Let me see that?!" Luna sees the price tag and it's at 50 bucks?! "Whoa, whoa! What the heck?! This wasn't there before! I saw it and it said 5 bucks!"

Carl shrugs it off. "I don't know what to tell ya Mrs. Loud, I don't place make prices or even place the price tags on them, that's Bobby's job and are you sure you read them right earlier?"

Luna then looks to the sodas and the price tag and she sees a small fold to the corner and she removes it. She then looks to Carl. "You little runt! And stop calling me Mrs. Do I look married to you?!"

"Carl? What are you doing on the register?" asked Bobby, he finally found the perfect mango which was by the oranges and then comes Hector.

"Carl? I thought I told you to restock the freezer?"

"Dude! This kid is scamming me" said Luna she hands Bobby the carton of milk and he and Hector peel off the price tag and see the real price and they look towards him.

Carl chuckles nervously and backs away. "What? I didn't do anything! What makes you think that….?" Then the price tag gun slides off his pocket. "Dang it."

Bobby takes the price tag gun. "This is not for you to use, and the price is not for the milk or sodas, this price is for the water melons!"

Hector sighs. "Carl, you and I are going to talk about this to your parents." He takes his grandson by the ear.

"Ow! Ow! What?! What did I do?! I didn't do anything wrong!"

Hector looks to Luna. "I am terribly sorry for what he did, Luna."

Luna sighs. "Dude, keep him in check. Otherwise the next time I come here, I might reconsider suggesting the High n' Buy to make their own store somewhere in town."

She then sees the nervous look on Bobby and Hector and she knows what it means. "There is a High n' Buy here isn't there?"

Hector then nervously chuckles. "Umm, no?" He then takes his grandson away and Bobby goes to the register and he checks out what Luna bought and he sees that some of the prices have been tagged before, which means half the stuff in the store have been raised, by Carl!

And Vito and Mr. Nakamura are now buying the price raised items. Dang it! Bobby has a lot to clean up, and this is Carl's mess!

( Back at the hang out.)

Ronnie Anne and Sid are shocked at everything Lincoln and Jordan had just said. "Whoa! So, the twins are back?" asked Ronnie Anne.

Lincoln nods. "Yeah, and at first I was cautious about them making me feel like the memories of the past might end up haunting me, but then I saw how much trouble Lana was in and I knew that deep down, I still had the big brother instincts and I couldn't let her be bullied around by some jerk."

Sid then goes to him. "Easy Linc, I mean I get it. You have big sibling instincts and so do i. I wouldn't let Adelaide get hurt by anyone and sure as heck you wouldn't let your former sisters get hurt too."

Lincoln smiles. "You're not wrong and I know that sooner or later, I gotta let Lola and Lana say what they wanna say to me."

"But, what about the whole Alligator phobia?" asked Ronnie Anne.

"That's something that's not easy to get over and he'll need to stay away from alligators" said Jordan. She then looks to Sid who is shocked. "There's an alligator at the zoo isn't there?"

Sid chuckles nervously. "Sorry guys, my mom got him after he was rescued, I guess you have to steer clear of the zoo and I'll tell my mom about this too, and just when I was gonna invite you guys to come to the night time tour at the Great Lakes City Zoo."

Lincoln smirks. "Yeah, we're gonna have to pass on that one, but thanks anyway. Maybe next time, when we have the free time that is."

"Well, besides all that we went through, what's going on with you guys?" asked Jordan.

"Okay so there was this incident where we needed some cash for a new skate board for Ronnie Anne and so decided to walk some dogs to earn the cash and also earn some cash to buy some other cool stuff!" said Sid.

Ronnie Anne sighs. "But the whole thing backfired, and we decided to take a few dogs and not too many."

"Then we found this purse in the lost and found and found so much cash, and we were gonna return it back" said Sid.

"Then we went overboard and we….. Linda spent all the cash" replied Ronnie Anne nervously. "Then when we found out it belonged to Mabel, we owed her so much for the cash we spent."

Lincoln and Jordan are shocked. "Wow! What about from what I heard from Carol?" asked Lincoln. "Something about Bobby and this big test?"

"Oh yeah, well turns out Bobby seems to have trouble focusing and junk, but then we saw he was more good at remembering the whole equation and math junk when he works, then Carol called and helped Bobby with the issue and he passed" replied Ronnie Anne. "Though, everyone else had their own methods and it became, kinda awkward."

"Dang. You guys sure had a heck of a day in the city" said Jordan. "But just know this, if you guys do have some issues, then just call us and we can help out."

"From one planner to another, I understand the whole ordeal of when the plan fails, but after everything I've been through, I think I can help with some of them" said Lincoln.

"Thanks guys, you're real life savers and cool friends too" said Sid.

"Yeah, so any ideas on how to help me on how I can make my dad stay longer in the city?" asked Ronnie Anne.

Then Luna walks in. "Mom? Are you okay?" She goes over and sits on the bean bag chair with Lincoln and Jordan and is between them and this worries Lincoln and Jordan. "Mom? What happened?"

Luna sighs, she then looks to Ronnie Anne. "Santiago, who's younger than you, and is a greedy little runt?"

Ronnie Anne sighs. "Oh jeez. What did Carl do?"

Boy did Luna have a lot to tell Ronnie Anne and Sid, and to Lincoln and Jordan as well, and they are not gonna like it.

A/N: This came to me in a dream when I took a short nap, in the taxi. Anyway, I hope you guys liked this, and next up is the concert bonding moment between Lincoln, Luna and Sam. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
