Family of Two.

Chapter 174: Louder or Love?

(Royal Woods Elementary School.)

The whole school has arrived for one thing, and that one thing is to honor the loss of their mascot.

The young Morticians Club is there, because they helped make this service happen.

Lincoln and Jordan with the rest of their friends are also there to see this happen, Lincoln then asks Jordan. "What the heck are we even doing this for? I don't even know Ricky that well."

"No clue, I honestly don't know if this is mandatory, but I guess we should be here to support and give our condolences to a…. Rooster, I guess he is a part of the school staff" replied Jordan.

Lincoln then sees the whole venue has been made possible, and all thanks to the coordinated team work of Lucy and Haiku.

The food for the whole service is popcorn and buttered corn, the color of the balloons are yellow and red, the flowers around the large picture of Ricky are nicely setup, even though that rooster in the picture looks kinda….. Messed up and not his best position, how old is that fowl?

They see the small coffin for the rooster and it has some balloons filled with helium to help him go up into the sky, since he always wanted to fly. (Well, that's what Principal Huggins and Clyde said) and then they see Luna and Sam getting their acoustic guitars ready to perform the song for the deceased fowl.

Lincoln is impressed by this. 'Looks like Lucy and Haiku being co-presidents worked, good for them, a shame they have one member missing.'

He does recall, that Bartholomew is no longer there, he's with his parents on the cruise ship for the rest of his elementary school life. That sucks for him and so Haiku and Lucy are sharing their role as co-presidents of the Young Morticians Club.

Then Principal Huggins goes on stage and he makes the speech about the great Ricky the Rooster and how much he loves that bird and how much he'll miss him.

Clyde goes on stage to say some words, but it's too much and he weeps as he goes down stage and is tended to by his dads.

Harriet is also there and is so confused. 'Why the hell am I even here? I don't speak ghost rooster. I should be at home, doing something….. Oh wait, I don't have anything to do back home. Dang it! This funeral better be done soon.'

She then sees Coach Pokawski giving his words and then Sheryl and some of the staff and this upsets Harriet.

'This funeral for this bird cannot end fast enough, I could be here for a while.'

(State Michigan Correctional Facility, Lansing City. Lansing.)

After the recent events involving someone horrid and cruel. We now see Rita Loud in her cell and is calming down after what she went through. She may be recovered, but the scars are still with her, mentally.

She then sits up and thinks about what had happened to her.

A week ago, this woman attacked her and her name is Cassidy Callieman and she brutally attacked her and tried to kill her as well. But she didn't. All that woman did was harass her and then leave her be to suffer from her injuries.

But what hurt her the most, was because that woman was going to hurt the rest of her family, the ones she is no longer acquainted with. She didn't want them to get hurt or worse, but that woman wanted them all to be hurt or worse, kill them.

Rita couldn't bear to think of the death of her former children, especially to Lincoln, Luna, Lucy and Lily. She knows they are the ones in Royal Woods and still trying to live their lives with the family they have left and also trying to see how the others are doing and if they can be forgiven as well.

Thankfully, Rita was relieved when that woman was killed after she tried to attack the loud house, and it took Lincoln to take her down and now she's gone and out of the picture.

But the words she spoke to Rita still burn in her thoughts. 'Oh god. What would happen if another woman hates me? What will that lady do to my former family and what can I do to stop it before it is too late?' She can only hope that the other female inmates don't share the same hatred against her and the same killing intent to her former children.

Meanwhile: Lynnard and Gerald Langston are busy with the dishes, they're on dish duty and then they're on janitorial duty down the halls. But Gerald looks to his cellmate and best pal. "Lynn, are you feeling okay?"

Lynn sighs. "No, no I'm not Gerald and you know why?" He then puts the clean plate away.

"Still shaken after what that bitch tried to do?" asked Gerald. He then washes another plate.

Lynnard looks to himself in the reflection of the clean plate. "Ever since that day, with what happened to Rita. It's been kinda rough for us. I mean sure, we still do well with parenting classes, but when it's all done, then Rita goes into this worried state and looks like she hasn't slept in days."

"That lady who did this, she left a permanent mark of pain and fear in the eyes of Rita and I don't know how to help her get out of this mess. I don't know how to make her feel better. She was hurt, that lady hurt her and then she wanted to hurt the rest of the family. She was evil and dark."

Gerald knows how he feels and he goes over and places a hand on his friends shoulder. "Lynn, I know that bitch did so much to hurt Rita, but be grateful that the lady is dead and not coming back, and all it took was the family who knows how to handle it. Be glad that the others won't have to suffer."

Lynn sighs. "I wish I could, but even to myself. I am deeply scarred and I don't know what else to do." He then goes back to washing dishes and ignores his friend.

Gerald does feels bad about him and how he feels, then he has an idea. 'Perhaps Lynn and Rita need some alone time together. I need to talk to the warden, surely he'll understand.'

( Traverse City Juvenile Detention Center.)

Lynn and Annabelle have finished ten games of basketball and are high fiving the rest of their fellow inmates who played as well.

"That was an awesome game and I didn't know Rochelle could go that high, that was one good game and I so wanna do that again" said Lynn.

"Hold your horses there Lynn, not too much." Annabelle kisses her cheek and this makes them both blush. "Now, I know that this is the month of February and we know that love is in the air when Valentine's Day hits, but what should we do when that day comes?"

Lynn tries to come up with a plan. "We'll think of something, but in the meantime let's hit the showers. I am sweatier than my old jersey, and now that I think about it, it is pretty gross wearing the same sweaty jersey. God, what was I thinking?"

The duo head to the showers and they pass by the massive door that leads to the maximum lockdown.

In there are the rich girls who tried some kind of trouble from the other day.

Karen Houseman is ranting over and over on how that plan of theirs failed.

Regina Westwind is fast asleep and dreaming of ponies and puppies and cupcakes.

Chastity Higgins is playing with her hands and making shadow puppets, she's bored.

Leslie Silver however is a whole different story. She lays down on her bed and looks to the ceiling and she recalls the boy she was yesterday. 'That boy from the other day. That must've been Lincoln. Lincoln Loud.'

'He looked so cute and so available and so handsome. Dang, I can't get my mind off of him, he's still in my head and I really wanna get close to him and know him better. He's so worth the plan to bust out of this stupid place.'

'I have to see him again, I need to know what he feels about me. He looked at me and then his eyes locked to mine, and I think I am in love with him!' she then sits up. 'That's it! Now I know what to do first when I bust outta here. I must find that boy, I must find Lincoln Loud and make him mine, forever and ever!'

'And no one is gonna stop me! No one, not my friends and not the cops, not Lynn and certainly not that rocker mom, Luna Loud!' She then looks to her food and she makes the mashed potatoes into the shape of Lincoln's head.

'Lincoln, soon…. You and I will be together and I will be all you will ever want and need and no one will tear us apart, because we are meant to be, you and I. Always and always and I will make you see the things I see and we will be king and queen of Michigan, forever and ever.'

She then kisses the mashed potato Lincoln head and the guard sees this and freaks out. 'Jeez! I know folks here like mashed potatoes, but that seems a bit too far.'

(Royal Woods Elementary School.)

The funeral for Ricky the Rooster is over, and the small coffin has been sent to the sky by the balloons and the help of some crows and ravens from the Goth's.

The students and staff all disperse and walk away from the whole thing, and some of them give their condolences to Principal Huggins and Clyde.

Lincoln, Zach, Liam and Rusty see this and are a bit confused. "So, tomorrow is the sleepover huh?" asked Zach.

"Pretty much" replied Liam. "See ya'll tomorrow." Liam then walks away from the place.

Lincoln then goes to his mom and Sam. "Hey mom, the song was nice and awesome when Sam joined in as well, but where the heck was the rest of the band?"

"Sorry sport, but Sully and Mazzy had some plans later. We don't know what they are, but chances it's them dating" replied Sam.

Luna puts her guitar into the trunk. "Come on kiddo, let's head on home. Now, where the heck is Harriet?"

They spot the ghost speaking with the Young Morticians Club, and then she waves to Lincoln and Jordan. "I guess we're gonna meet her at the house later." Lincoln and Luna go into the car and so does Sam. They'll drop her off at her home.

As they drive off Lincoln sees Lola and Lana talking to their friends, and then they talk to Jordan about something they've been doing lately. "Mom, when Saturday comes, there's a dog show I wanna check out."

A/N: A lot of recovering to do, and the reason why I did not add Lori, Leni and Luan is because Lincoln and Luna will go and check out what's going on with them and those chapters will be coming soon. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
