Family of Two.
Chapter 179: Mall moment with old family.
(Royal Woods Elementary School.)
Walking down the halls of the school are Lola and Lana, the adopted twins of Agnes Johnson and both have finished with class and told their mom, that they're headed off with a friend.
Agnes Johnson has to go to her yoga class, and run some errands and so she asked someone to look after the twins and she managed to find some folks to do that task.
The twins continue to talk about some recent events that they will never forget. "Sure felt good to watch Lacey and her dog lose, Ajax sure is one cool and awesome dog" said Lana.
Lola chuckles. "Sure did. She'll never ever forget what happened to her this year, looks like her two time winning Maltese just lost one year of victory. Kinda brings me back to my winning days."
Lana then places a hand on her twin's shoulder. "Lola that was the past and recall who you were back then, the Lola everyone knew."
Lola recalls her past and what she was before: she was mean, ruthless, rude, less class to others, thinks she's above them, demanding, blackmailing and above all else, over competitive, almost as Lynn was.
"Yeah, glad I'm out of that picture. But, I have taken up dancing as my new hobby and I think it could work as a bright future for me."
Lana smiles hearing that. "That's the spirit Lols. Think of the future and not the past, kinda like me. Sure I don't love to be in the mud that much, but I am still good at fixing things, as long as there's a grownup around for me to do that."
As they continue to walk, they wave to their friend Meli Ramos who is busy talking to some other students and their love for ponies.
Then the twins see Skippy and Winston talk to each other. Those are the boys the twins like. Lana has a crush on Skippy and Lola has a huge crush on Winston. But both girls didn't know if they should speak with them, it would be too hard to do so and they think the boys might hate them for what they did to Lincoln last year.
So, they avoid Winston and Skippy, but they don't notice the two boys looking at them and feeling pity. They too wish to speak with the twins, but they don't know how.
The twins make it outside of the school and they look around for their babysitter and they see him and smile. "Lincoln!" The twins race over to the snow-haired child.
Lincoln waves goodbye to Jordan as she goes into her mom's car and then he turns around and sees the twins and smiles. He goes over and hugs them both. "Glad to see you two as well. How was classes?"
"We did math and we did our best" replied Lana.
"We had to help each other out" replied Lola.
Lincoln chuckles. "Good for you girls, learning to get along and not cause any trouble." Then he asks. "Lacey St. Clair did anything to you today?"
The twins shake their heads in denial. "Nope. She stayed away from us and didn't say a word. Someone's tongue must've been caught by a cat." Lola and Lana high five each other.
But Lana was a bit concerned. "I don't know what her issue is, but she seemed way angrier than she normally is and I got a bad feeling about something she did."
Lincoln understand this. "You're not the only ones Lans. After what happened at the dog show, I was kinda surprised she would get angry at her pet, but we can't be so sure something happened." He then gets up. "Now come on, the others will also be here, besides my mom."
The twins are confused. "Other?"
"He means us." they get startled from the sight of Lucy, and with her is Lisa. Lisa then smirks. "Hmm, I see why Lucy seems to enjoy doing this."
Lola and Lana look to their former older sister and little sister. "What are you guys doing here?" asked Lana. "Wait, you're gonna hang out with us?"
Lucy nods. "Pretty much. My sister Maggie has rehearsals at the High School, something about the story of Valentine's Day, alongside Benny and the rest of the Theater Club."
Lisa also explains why she's hanging out with them. "My mother contacted Luna if she can keep an eye on me, and the mall would be a great idea. Darcy and Teri are being escorted to the dentist to have their teeth checked on, I had my teeth checked on and they are healthy."
"Oh okay. Well, we can all have fun together" replied Lola. She then looks towards Lincoln. "What about Lily?"
"Not here, she's with her mom visiting a friend from Great Lakes City" replied Lincoln. "And here comes my mom." They all spot the purple Ferrari of Luna Loud, and this makes Lana's eyes sparkle.
"Cool." But Lola and Lisa hold her back, she is not allowed to go and pop the hood.
The window opens and so does the door and they see Luna come out. "You dudes ready for this?"
They all nod and go into the car. Lincoln is at the front seat and the others are in the back. This was Lola and Lana's first time to be in this car and they still have no clue how Luna and Lincoln got this ride.
"Alright, buckle up" said Luna as she starts the engine and Lana loves that sound. "Next stop, the Royal Woods Mall." She then drives it fast and they race off to the mall. Lana is loving this speed. But it's not too fast though.
Luna then looks to her son. "So Lincoln, got any school work to do later?"
Lincoln looked nervous. "Yeah. Mom, I have to make a bird house, as in a wooden bird house."
Luna's smile fades and she goes wide eyed. "Wait, what?" Even the others know what this means.
(Royal Woods Mall.)
Now at the mall, the large group of former louds and two louds walk in and look around the place.
"Wow. This place seems less packed" said Lola. Then she turns to her left. "Oh, never mind. There's most of the folks."
They all spot Reiningers is loaded with customers and all of them are there for a Valentine's Day gifts and some new outfits for the incoming High School and Middle School Dance, and Michelle Lewis, Fiona, Miguel and Ms. Carmichael are busy with everyone.
"Glad we don't have any plans in there" replied Lucy, she then holds Lisa's hand.
"Indeed" replied Lisa. "Otherwise we'd all be unable to move around should we get involved in that less than orderly shopping spree. I wish for Michelle to be safe and take a long needed rest."
"She's gonna need it when she gets back home" replied Luna. "Alright dudes, let's get going and see what we can find. Remember, Linc and I will be paying, but not that much, got it?"
Lisa, Lucy, Lola and Lana nod. "We know." Then Lucy sees someone. "Well, looks like someone is banned from a local business, again."
They all spot Selena Williams being escorted out of the mall's computer shop for being mean, rude and racist to the folks there. She also has a ton of papers she printed out.
Lisa looks closely. 'What is she planning with those?'
"Forget about her guys, only a matter of time before she's banned from the mall for good" replied Lincoln. "Now come on, the day has a lot for us to enjoy and this mall is the place to be."
They all nod and make their way to wherever they need to go, but they have no clue that something is happening outside of the mall.
Besides Selena Williams going back to her car and driving off. A limo arrives and then Lacey St. Clair comes out and she leaves this box with holes near the trash can and she looks to the box that is taped.
"You disgrace me, and I will have no part with you after the failure you committed at that dog show. I'll have a new dog soon and that dog will be ten times better than you will ever be."
Lacey gets back into her limo and it drives off. The little Maltese in the box looks through one of the holes of the box and is saddened. She made one small mistake and lost, and now she lost her owner and her home.
She only hopes that someone will find her, someone who would care for her and someone who would never leave her alone. She has always been loyal to Lacey, but seeing the true colors of her owner, she can see that Lacey St. Clair is not the best owner and all she wants is to win and boast it around town.
Victorie then lays down in her box and she licks the wounds she got, yup she was punished, harshly.
(Montage.)
The first place they go to is the toy store, and there Lola and Lana check out what might be new and what might be on sale, sadly nothing was new and nothing was on sale, yet. Lola has her eyes set on the pink teddy bear with the heart in the chest and she plans to see if Winston will like it.
Lincoln sees his mom, Luna looking at something and she walks away from it. 'Something is up with mom, and I think she's planning something for me, soon.'
They make their way to the dress store and that's where Lola checks out anything new and stylish she can try on. Lana and the others were patient and look around as well, the place makes Lana recall the day she helped try to be like Lola and win the Dairyland tickets.
Lola on the other hand notices some of her old rivals from her pageantry days and she does her best to avoid them, especially Lindsay Sweetwater.
They're next stop is the hardware store and Lana enjoys taking a look at some of the cool tools and other things she might need, but sadly they're not on sale and very pricey. She at least bought some nails and a new wrench. Agnes Johnson's mom is coming over and she needs a new closet.
Lana can handle that one.
Lincoln also looks for some materials he needs, he was tasked to make a birdhouse and chances Luna will try to help him. She does recall her son has this issue when it comes to carpentry and she hopes he doesn't lose his cool too.
After that, they go to where Lucy wishes to go and that place would be the Gothic store and even though the others aren't into this stuff, they go there anyway and look around,
Lucy makes the purchase to a bat and raven themed bracelet and fingerless gloves that she could wear, and she also has her eyes on the taxidermy of a vampire bat which still isn't on sale and she plans to buy it and give it to Rocky on Valentine's Day.
Next they all go to the book store, Lisa cannot engage in chemistry and stuff, so she goes to this place to look for some books she could read and for some books Darcy might wanna read and she manages to find some.
Afterwards they go to the music store, Lincoln and Luna check out the place and ask for repairs to their headphones and they manage to have them fixed quickly and then look around for anything new in music. Lola does find a song for her dance practice and she plans to join a ballet class soon.
Then they go to the Food Court and enjoy the new curly cheese fries.
Then they head to the comic book store where Lincoln checks out some new comics, and he even tells the others about his new comic that he made and he plans to show it to Bill Buck, soon.
(End Montage.)
With their day done, the time is now close to late afternoon and almost evening, and each of the young former louds enjoyed their time, especially with Lincoln and Luna. They all walk out of the mall with what they bought.
"You know Linc, I am surprised that you are making quite a good living with this small part-time hobby and job to make comics" replied Lisa. "Even though we haven't read any of them, they have come to the popular standards throughout town."
"We have heard a lot of the kids in our class talk about your two comics" replied Lola.
"They usually speak about it at lunch or when the teacher isn't in the classroom yet" replied Lana. "And we're grateful to know that you've become quite the success, Lincoln."
"Thanks girls and yes I do get some cash from the creator and company of Ace Savvy" replied Lincoln.
Luna chuckles. "Yup, this little dude has a dang good job and I'm proud of him."
"We're proud of you too Lincoln, also when are you guys gonna go and see Lori?" asked Lucy. "I wanna check on her and how she's doing."
Hearing the name of Lori was making Lola and Lana kinda nervous, they too wanna ask when they're gonna go so they can see how Lori is doing. So Lana asks, but then she hears something. "Wait, what was that?"
Lana goes over to the trash cans and the others follow her, and then Luna recalls something. "Lana, I thought you were done dumpster…. Diving?"
They see Lana bring the box to them and she has a concerned look, they all look inside and are surprised and shocked at what they see.
Lying there and barely conscious, is Victorie the dog of Lacey St. Clair. But something was wrong.
She has cuts and bruises all over her body, almost like she was hit with a belt and then chained outside for two nights. Her fur has some red on it and is all messed up and her right front paw is bruised and looks sore, she whimpers as the pain is still there and hasn't left.
She also looks like she was thrown around, or kicked, more than ten times.
"What happened to her?!" asked Lola. She tries to touch the dog, but she whimpers from the touch, her head to a big hit from something.
Lisa looks to her injuries. "There are many damages to her, and most are critical and she might not survive!"
Lincoln sees this is serious. "We have to take her to the vet, ASAP!"
They all hop into the car and Lana and Lola keep the dog safe and try to see if she's fine, and they drive off. Lisa noticed the Royal Woods Security cameras and the FutureTech Burst Drones.
'Whatever happened to this Maltese, Lacey St. Clair cannot escape the watchful eyes of her crimes!'
A/N: Looks like the twins have a new pet, but what Lacey did was wrong on so many levels and they have to report this crime, immediately. Also, some things tied into the Loud House episode about when Lincoln was gonna make a bird house. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
