Family of Two.
Chapter 308: Luna tries to cope.
(The Loud House.)
Morning has arrived on July 13, and right now Luna Loud awakens and she takes a look to the room she sleeps in, the room that once resided Luan, and with Luna they were known as the entertainment duo of the family, but now it's the shared room of Luna and her son, Lincoln. Now, not anymore.
Luna is now concerned and she gets off her bed, and then she looks around the room. The posters of musical bands, but no Mick Swagger posters anymore, and she even seen some posters of Ace Savvy logos and a computer, a writing desk and two large closets.
Luna recalls why she shares this with Lincoln, so she could spend more time with him and be there for him when he needs comfort the most. Luna then sees the dresser and the clothes that belongs to Sam, and it's locked.
Luna then recalls about the whole ordeal they told her involving Mick Swagger, okay to be honest Sam told her all of it. Seems like the others didn't wanna talk to her. Luna then sighs as she's disappointed at what her idol did, along with his band and what nearly got them into serious trouble with Crest.
Still, Luna is surprised that former musical manager, Michelle Lewis is now part of the family, along with former juvenile inmate and now redeemed teen, Delilah. The Harriet thing, is something she has to get used to, especially to the fact the rest of the family aren't close to home, sorta.
Luna looks to the photo on the desk and she sees the photo of herself in diffident clothing, and in the photo is Lincoln also in different clothing and they're both on a hammock and smiling.
'These memories are different, and special to everyone. I really need to get my head back on the swivel and groove my way to the Luna Loud they know. I just can't believe this is what became of the former family, and I stood up to them and made sure that they'd pay for their mistakes.'
'I mean, I get the whole dumb thing about Lynn and being a meathead with her stupid rituals and luck junk, but for her to have the others be part of the stupid luck thing… That's sick and beyond twisted. I wish I could be there for him, and then we could…'
Delilah comes into the room, and she ignores Luna and grabs some clothes for Lincoln and then she leaves the room. "Wait, Delilah dude."
Delilah stops and scoffs. "It's just, Delilah. What the heck do you want, Rocker? I need to make sure Lincoln is alright, he's cried all night." Delilah then goes towards her bedroom door to check on the upset kid, he stayed in her room since he felt alone and scared without Luna.
Luna is surprised to hear this. "Delilah, I know things have been hard for everyone with me not feeling the person everyone is jamming to know and love, but I wanna try. For everyone's sake and for my bro… For Lincoln too."
Delilah's hands turn to fists and she walks towards Luna. "You know what? I was told about the old Luna Loud, and how much she would care about music and reaching her dream, when she was blinded and didn't see the reality of being on a god damn band and tour. You told yourself and Lincoln…."
"You told him that you would never ever go back to the same Luna Loud, and yet here you are. Luna Loud, the competitive sister who wants to be a musical star, and never even god damn noticed some of her mistakes of harming Lincoln, or should I recall the whole SMOOCH concert you made memorable."
"And what did you do after that whole concert? You fought Linc for a dang quarter, when you can do a gig and earn cash. The old Luna Loud, had no plan to sort out the big picture, and you fell in line with the stupid ass hive mind of the loud sisters. Right now, I don't see Luna Loud… Just some stranger in this house."
Delilah then goes back into her room to check on Lincoln, and he's still asleep. Luna is baffled by what the preteen said to her, and she wipes away some tears recalling the times she would harm her brother, and now she's brought greater harm to her supposed to be son.
'I have to fix this. Before this turns into total chaos and Linc, he might not like me as he did. This is all so messed up…. I wanna kick the butt of the dude who did this to me! I feel horrible for this whole thing.'
Michelle notices this and she feels bad for Luna, and even Harriet sees this. They watch Luna go back into her room to get herself ready for the day.
(Later.)
Luna comes down the stairs, she already ate breakfast and now she's dressed in something she wore long ago. Her signature clothes. Luna looks to herself in the mirror on the wall and sighs. 'I need to do more to change, to the Luna everyone knows.'
Then she hears the doorbell right. 'Huh, the doorbell is fixed.' She then walks towards the door, and she doesn't notice Michelle is folding clothes and looking at her, then Luna opens the door and she sees who it is. "Hey, who are you?"
Jordan looks to Luna surprised, but when she heard Luna say that, she becomes stern. She then walks towards the tree and sits at the tire swing and she texts someone. Then someone comes down the stairs and Luna turns around and sees it's Lincoln.
Luna sees how nervous Lincoln is, and then the boy looks to Michelle. "M-Michelle, I'm gonna go and hang out with my girlfriend…" He then walks past Luna, and he runs towards Jordan and she hugs him.
Luna is surprised to hear this. 'Wait, so he doesn't like Ronnie Anne?! Whoa! Did not see that coming, I wish I saw the whole thing from when he dated this girl… Now I know why she didn't talk to me.'
Luna watches as Lincoln walks with Jordan, and she sees the bike he didn't take, and it had a purple and orange heart painted on it. 'Did I give Lincoln that bike?'
"Luna…" The rocker turns around and she sees Michelle. "Hey, are you alright?"
Luna is still surprised by Michelle. "H-Hey, there. Michelle. Yeah, I guess I'm chill and…"
"Don't lie to me and stop acting like you're looking at someone you wanted to talk to, Luna Loud." Michelle crosses her arms and looks to her with the glare of a mother, something she learned from Luna. "I know that you're feeling concerned and upset through all of this, am I right?"
Luna sighs. "Yeah, you got me dude. I guess all of this… IT's just not so easy to take in. I have a lot to make up, and figure out how to fix this ordeal… I don't even know how to regain my memories back."
Michelle can tell that she's in pain, and she wishes to be the Luna Loud everyone now knows and looks up to. Michelle then has an idea. "Come with me." Luna follows Michelle up the stairs, and Harriet sees this and so she goes over and folds the clothes.
Michelle then leads her to the bedroom that Luna shares with Lincoln, and she checks under the bed for something. "Dude, what are you looking for?" asked Luna.
"Found it." Michelle then pulls out a box, a box with the logo of a purple musical note and an orange bunny. She then hands it to Luna. "From what I overheard long ago, you made this just in case. So, take a look at what's inside of it, and perhaps it can help."
Luna smiles and looks to Michelle. "Thanks."
Michelle nods, but she doesn't look glad. "I'm doing this to help bring back the Luna Loud who has the instincts of a protective and caring mom, and you don't share any of those traits. Because this is the Luna Loud who forgot the sibling bond she had with Lincoln, now a mother and son bond."
Michelle then leaves the room and she closes the door. Luna then sits onto the beanbag chair and she opens the box and sees a video camera and it's attached to a FutureTech branded self-sustaining battery. "What the heck?"
Luna then opens the video camera and she sees a recording, of herself.
"Hey there, Luna Loud. Now, I knew something bad would happen to us, and I came with the backup plan to help you realize that the Luna Loud you are after a horrible incident, is not the Luna Loud you wanna be. Because we changed, and after a horrible incident that divided the once loud family."
"Luna, I know you wanna help reconcile and become the Luna Loud you have to be and I can't blame you for trying, dude. Lincoln needs us, because we lost so much when we found out the talent in rock n' roll, and I am glad that is all behind me, the dream and being over competitive over that garbage."
"The rest of the band, and even Sam agree with the change, and the new Luna Loud, they know that what I do is for the sake of the kid I swore to keep safe, but that promise is not an easy task to make because we can't always be there to keep him safe, heck he lost his memory months ago and it hurt me deeply. It really did."
"So, if you do wanna try and regain who you are, then try and do something with the family that could jog back some memories. The brain is a part of you that can reboot, and all it takes is a reminder of what you are and who you're meant to be in order to bring us back into the life of our boy."
"Try, but not too hard. Also, perhaps this might help."
The video switches and Luna now sees the footage of the whole court when they won, and the emotional moment between Lincoln and Luna.
Then she sees the birthday she celebrated with Lincoln, the birthday she had and the gift Lincoln gave her, and then the gift she gave to Lincoln and the outcome of their conflict with Tetherby and Chandler, and then the moment of romance that made Jordacoln.
The car they got, the ghostly family member who sees them as family, the new family member Michelle Lewis, and they're troubles with other folks who wanted them out of the picture, such as Flip, Doug, and the manager of ARGGH! Then the visits they had to the other louds, and the redemption they plan to give them.
The holiday of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, New Year's Eve, the turmoil's that would make Lincoln feel uneasy, the disaster that almost got them killed and meet with other worldly counterparts. The day they met Delilah and made her family, and Lincoln's graduation day.
Even the one week stay at Honolulu, Hawaii, and small visits to Great Lakes City, their chance to forgiver the McBride's for what they did, the many comics that Lincoln made, and dedicated to his mother, Luna. Luna and Sam's moment together in romance, and then the trio bonding times, but what truly got Luna's attention, is how much she's bonded and spent time with Lincoln.
Seeing the footage of herself with Lincoln, is something that makes her feel like some good memories are coming back and now Luna is crying at this site that she wants to recall and treasure.
The video ends with the image of Lincoln and Luna, sitting close together under the tree at the top of a hill in Ketcham Park, and enjoying the peaceful breeze.
The footage changes to Luna who is wiping away some tears. "Well, that helped spark some memories huh? I know it did, because we made those moments happen with the friends and family we know and love. We can be the Luna Loud that we are now, I know you can do this."
"You lost something, and that something is the best memories that you had with your son and everyone in the family, former family and friends. But most importantly, the one thing you and I don't wanna lose, and that something or someone is Lincoln… Lincoln Loud, you're… Our son."
"I know you can make this possible and fix the whole issue that made you forget who you are. We're Luna Loud, the new one who made a big difference when we saved Lincoln from the Bad Luck death sentence. We both risked blood and sweat to keep him safe and he did the same too."
Luna then gets up and she picks up the camera and smiles. "I know you can do it Luna Loud. You can become the Luna Linc knows, don't forget who you are and what you've done. Don't be too hard when trying, but just try and the others will help you. See you soon, Luna Loud."
The screen turns dark and Luna drops the camera and she begins to sob into her hands. Everything, now she sees who she is supposed to be. Luna stops crying and she looks to the photo of herself with Lincoln and she has a stern face.
"Don't you worry, I will come back and I will try and become the Luna you all know and love… I promise you Linc…. I promise you, son." She gets up and she sees the other photos in the box and these photos trail off from the beginning.
The first one is when she held an infant Lincoln when he came to the house for the first time.
The second photo is when Lincoln took his first steps towards Luna, and he called her mama.
The third photo is when she celebrated his 5th birthday, and also the aftermath of when she became the rocker Luna Loud.
Then she keeps looking at each photo and smiles at each moment she's had with Lincoln and now she's filled with determination. 'I will become the Luna Loud everyone knows and loves. That's a promise and I will not break it!'
To be continued in the next chapter.
