First time to be at Great Lakes City for the Logann family, while this is the first time for some of them to celebrate the 12th birthday of Sid Chang, the local kooky, animal loving, K-Pop grooving, and bubbly gal of the Chang's family. Enjoy reading this everyone.

Family of Two.

Chapter 343: Logann's and Sid's B-Day.

(August 22. Great Lakes City.)

A few vehicles arrive to the city, and they stop somewhere at an intersection and the light is red. Luna then looks to the other cars. "You dudes know where to go, right?" With her is Sam, Lincoln and Jordan, and the red Ferrari is behind them and Michelle and Delilah are in that one.

Leni is in her car, and with her is Luan. "We know. Luan and I have also come by to visit the place for me to see if there's anything useful for me with the job I have somewhere else, we got this."

Then we have the Logann's in their truck. Jeremy nods. "Leni said she knows the town and same with Luan there. They can lead us around the town and show us how dang good this place can be."

Kurt then speaks. "We'll meet you guys at the zoo later. Because that's something little Maddeline here wants to check out." He then ruffles his little sister's hair and this makes her giggle.

Luna nods. "Alright dudes. We'll meet you guys at the Birthday Party." They see the light is still red, but then it hits orange and then green and they all drive off. Luna looks to the rear view mirror and she sees the Logann's and Lauren's are already off to where they're going.

Lincoln then looks out the window and he sees Sancho up above and delivering some…. Chinese Food? Wait what? 'Huh, looks like Sancho has Part-Time Jobs? Weird.'

Sam also looks out the window and she looks to the one place they pass by, the Casagrande apartment, and the Mercado seems closed. 'They must've closed it for the day, obviously they wanna be there for Sid Chang's Birthday.'

Jordan also notices this. 'Well, we're bound to see a lot of guests at the party and…' She spots the parrot inside of the house on the second floor and sitting on his perch and looking to the rest of the city. 'Looks like the annoying flying rat is still grounded. He better stay that way.'

They all continue onward as they drive to the Great Lakes City Zoo, at the Ferrari behind them, Delilah is going through some notes she's making and then she figures something out. "Mom, now we know that a lot of folks always comes to attack jus, and this is for an act of revenge right?"

Michelle is confused why she would bring that up. "Umm, yeah. I know that, why?"

Delilah then answers. "Well, we have had some allies and some folks who have had the backs of the louds, and the rest of us. I think that if they can establish a new kind of prison system, it could help keep the folks who escape at bay. FutureTech is fortified, and the only thing they built here, is their outpost."

Michelle thinks about this. "Huh, that does make sense. We have to discuss this with the others, and perhaps they can agree and then we can talk to FutureTech and then we can turn the tides on the next threat that tries to come for us."

(Great Lakes City Zoo.)

At the zoo, the K-Pop themed place is looking awesome and groovy, and Sid is enjoying this thing. She's so stoked, she's already having hearts in her eyes at the life size cardboard cutout of Yoon Kwan.

Ronnie Anne goes next to her and looks at this as well. "Sid, calm down. This isn't the real deal, but the music is and all the food looks like a 12 is Midnight thing." She is not wrong, every food is in the form of the theme to 12 is Midnight.

But it's Rosa's food that doesn't show that appearance, and that's alright too. Hector is there, along with Bobby and he seems concerned. "Abuelo, are you sure about closing the Mercado today? I mean, I could be there and keep things…"

Hector eats a tamales and looks to his grandson. "Bobby, calm down. One day of the place being closed is not gonna do any harm, and Mabel already has a week's worth of "Unbruised" Mangoes, so there's not need to worry about her. Calm down, and have a Tamales."

Bobby takes the food, and eating it makes him feel happy. "Yeah, you're right." He then walks by the cardboard cutout. "Hi, Yoon Kwan."

Ronnie Anne notices this and sighs. "Well, he's still as shaken up with not even telling what is real and what is fake. Also, we should go and check on Linc and Jordan." she grabs Sid, but then Sid goes back and she grabs the life size cardboard cutout of Yoon Kwan and she brings it with her.

Lincoln and Jordan look upon the Komodo dragon enclosure and they watch as Adelaide is helping feed Keon and they see Carl is upset and grumbling from this. "Carl, you do realize that you can't go in there? Not after what you did last time, right?" said Jordan.

Carl is annoyed. "Don't tell me what to do! I know what I did and I did it because he's cool and I wanna feed him!" He then sees Adelaide riding Keon. "Oh come on!"

"Carl! Come on, your abuela made sure she cut the hotdogs you like to eat." Frida goes over and takes her son, and this makes things awkward and some folks overhear this, and he groans at how embarrassing this was.

"Well, that happened" said Lincoln. They continue two watch as Adelaide keeps Keon calm, then Ronnie Anne and Sid go towards them. Lincoln does notice something. "So, who's your friend?"

Sid then makes the Yoon Kwan cardboard cutout stand. "Hey guys, it's me. Yoon Kwan, and this Sid Chang birthday party is the best ever, she's so cool."

Lincoln and Jordan take one step back from this and Ronnie Anne takes the cardboard cutout. "Yeah, Sid is a total fan of 12 is Midnight… Well, mostly Yoon Kwan."

Sid cheers. "He is so awesome, so cool, so dreamy and so…." then Ronnie Anne covers her mouth to keep her from talking, Ronnie Anne likes 12 is Midnight, but she's not that too addicted by it.

Jordan chuckles. "Happy Birthday Sid Chang. Also, looks like the wildlife here also likes K-Pop."

Sid nods. "Well, I do come by and visit to help and at times I play some 12 is Midnight, so it makes sense why the animals like that beat too. I mean, a lot of them, and the pandas get super-cute when they try to dance, and then fumble around."

Lincoln smiles. "Yeah, Jordan and I saw that and they seemed kinda silly trying to synchronize dance together. We took some recording and surely a lot of our pals in town will wanna see this."

They then look towards Keon and then Ronnie Anne asks. "So, where's your mom? Also Sam? I saw Michelle and Delilah at the party."

Lincoln answers that. "Mom and Sam are checking out the marmoset area, and also some other enclosures. They trust us to check out the zoo alone, but the one thing I wanna know… Sergio still not doing trouble?"

Ronnie Anne nods. "Sergio is back at the apartment. Lalo is watching over him, Lalo has changed and is becoming more of the big watch dog we have been expecting from him. He's still making sure Sergio doesn't do anything wrong, and wherever Sergio goes, Lalo is following him."

Jordan smiles. "Nice, looks like the big dog is doing his job and showing the bird whose house, well apartment it is. Also, what about the rest of the tenants?"

Sid then responds. "That one we don't know about yet, but we're not sure if some of them plan to leave and reside someplace else. They still feel cautious when they're in the same building as Sergio."

Lincoln sighs. "I can't blame them. That flying beast has been trouble since he messed with me, and got badly hurt. I really, really hate Sergio now, and I hope your thanksgiving this year along with Christmas doesn't turn bad real fast."

Ronnie Anne nods. "Yeah, no kidding. Also, what about the whole training thing?"

Sid nods and seems excited. "Yeah, you think we can come over and see them?"

Lincoln then recalls what he talked about with his mother. "Yeah, you guys can come along. Once we've gotten word on when we can train with them again. We haven't received any response, and what we got is a message saying that they're busy trying to be… Apex Legends? I don't know what that is."

Jordan is also confused. "That sounds like the name of a video game."

"Well, if they do make the call to train with you guys, message us and we'll come and check them out" said Sid. She and Ronnie Anne understand, ever since they were told not to come.

Lincoln nods. "Will do, Chang." Then he sees his mom wave to them, and do some hand signals and he knows what that means. "Well, looks like the Logann's are here now."

They then go over and follow Luna. Then Ronnie Anne recalls. "Wait, the Logann's? Like the family of the racecar driving rookie, Kurt Logann?"

Sid also remembers. "Yeah, we heard about this on social media, and that they're staying in Royal Woods. Dang, Leni must've…." They then see Kurt along with his family all enjoying the birthday party. "A total hunk, dang that guy is good looking."

Jordan chuckles. "Chang, calm down and remember. He's taken, and Leni is on his mind." Then they get something to eat. "Besides, they already had to deal with Lola when she tried to make some trouble last week."

Sid then snaps out of it. "Right, right… Wait, Lola has a crush on him? What the heck happened?" Jordan explains to Ronnie Anne and Sid on what went down.

Lincoln goes over and he watches as Luan, Maddeline and Jeremy and Hanna check out some of the animal enclosures, and he along with his mom speak with Leni and Kurt. "So, how was the whole sightseeing of the town?" asked Lincoln.

Kurt smiles and he holds Leni's hand. "We had an awesome time to check out the town, and there aren't much in racetracks here."

Leni smirks. "Well, Great Lakes City doesn't have much when it comes to well…. Big racing events, but the Go-Kart's thing is what they have, we haven't even seen it though."

Sameer skates by. "Closed for renovations." He then joins the others and skate around, and then the 12 is Midnight song comes back on, and the group dance as they're on their skateboards.

They all look to each other and then they go over to enjoy the rest of the party. But then Kurt realizes. "Yeah, umm. Guys, I need to tell ya…." He then whispers to the others from Royal Woods. "I am a fan of most rock n' roll, and other songs, but not really into… K-Pop."

This surprises them, and they should make sure Sid Chang doesn't know, and same with Ronnie Anne.

(Somewhere in Hazeltucky.)

At the local church there, the priest whom everyone doesn't like is doing a prayer, and as soon as he's finished he looks onto the photos of Clyde and his dad's, Lincoln, Luna, Sam, and the rest of the louds and he places them into an altar and they're near the candle.

"Soon, I shall return to the town and I shall save them from damnation and ensure that the wretches of Royal Woods are purged, because if I cannot save this town I am in, then perhaps I shall bring salvation to Royal Woods, and that old friend of mine shall not stop me."

He then has a dagger, for sacrifices and then he has a chalice and he drinks from it, and then he turns off the candles and he takes the photos and stabs them all. "You shall all be brought to justice, and those whom would not be deemed worthy, will be purged into the inferno of hell."

He then walks away, leaving the stabbed photos of Luna, Sam, Howard and Harold. He has a mission and he will harm anyone who gets in his way.

To be continued…

A/N: And a Happy Birthday to Sidney Chang, and another good summer time for the Logann's in Michigan, this might not be Royal Woods, but it's fun to explore some of the neighboring towns too, just not Hazeltucky, and we all know why. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
