Family of Two.

Chapter 363: Family bonding part 1.

(September 12. The Loud House.)

Just a normal Sunday for them in the house, and right now they have finished cleaning the place and just in time as Jordan and Sam are also there to hang out with them, and they also chose to help them move an old cabinet, and they manage to bring it to the garage and need to know what to do with it.

Also, Delilah had finished making a cherry pie, she's trying to ace this so she can be ready for what comes next in her home-economics class, and she will not fail this… Normally she would seek help from someone, such as her mom, or Harriet, or Clyde. But she wants to do this on her own.

Lincoln and Jordan look around the old cabinet and they see some dents and damages, but then they spot something. "Huh, a moving truck? Looks like some nee neighbors next door" said Lincoln.

This gets the attention from the others and they all go ahead and check it out, and same with Delilah who has her cherry pie with her. 'So glad I made this beauty!'

The family goes over and meets the new comers of the town. "Hi there, glad to see you guys in the neighborhood" said Luna. "The names, Luna Loud, and this is the rest of the family, Michelle, Delilah, and my kid, Lincoln and our other friends, Sam and Jordan."

"Well, a pleasure to meet all of you and I think I have heard about you guys. My name is Jeff and this is my wife Carly and our son Ryan, we're the Millers and we just moved into the place. Also, sorry about what had happened with the rest of the old family."

Lincoln chuckles. "That's alright, we've learned to forgive them for the actions of the past, and also it's great to see some new folks around here. This house has been empty for some time."

Michelle then asks. "So, what brings you guys to Royal Woods?"

Carly then answers. "Oh, we're just here to get some excitement into our lives, it's been rather dull and less than exciting in Georgia, and we heard that Royal Woods Michigan is a good place to be, and we're already happy to know that this is a good neighborhood and with a good family to boot too."

Then Delilah hands them a pie. "Here I made this Cherry Pie, and it's also a good snack or meal. Enjoy, and it's packed with good old Michigan cherries."

The family is surprised by this and then Carly takes the pie. "Wow. Umm, thank you…." She then hands the pie to her son, and then her son hands this to his dad and he hides it behind his back, this confuses Delilah and has her suspicious about something.

Lincoln looks to Ryan. "You wanna hang out with us, Ryan? We're gonna go and hang out with our friends. You could get to know them."

Ryan smiles hearing this. "Now that sounds like a good idea." But deep down, he has some other thoughts. 'This will do me well, well do well for us so we can know more about how to deal with our operation.'

He then looks to his parents. "Mom, dad. Can I go with them? I'd like to hang out with them so that I can be ready for school tomorrow."

Jeff and Carly nod, and so Ryan goes with Lincoln and Jordan, and they get on their bikes and ride off, but they are surprised to see Ryan has an electric scooter and he catches up with them and it becomes a small race for them to get to Ketcham Park.

Seeing the kids having fun together makes them smile, and they all go back to their houses, but then Delilah looks to the window and she sees something she did not expect, Jeff Miller tosses the pie into the trash can, and then he covers it and he looks disgusted.

Delilah is now suspicious about this. 'Strange, either he didn't like my pie because he's allergic, or he doesn't like pie at all…. Or he's one of those stingy and annoying critics who just can't tolerate dome dang good baking! I worked hard on that pie and he throws it away!'

Michelle also notices this and then she goes to the camera room so she can see if they got the whole thing recorded, even she knows something is wrong.

The door from where Harriet resides opens and she looks around. "Alright, something happened. Anyone care to explain to me on what I missed?"

(Ketcham Park.)

The group have arrived and are now talking with their friends: Clyde, Chloe, Hope, Gretchen, Zach, Liam, Tabby and Mollie. They're all at the picnic table and Clyde and Chloe brought some picnic baskets with some food for them to enjoy.

"Nice to see a new face around here" said Zach. "We know you're gonna have some awesome time at Middle School with us…." Then he scooches closer to Ryan. "Fear the gym class man! Fake an injury and you just might live!"

Ryan is confused by what he had just said. "Wait, what?"

Then Liam whispers. "He means, that you won't be able to survive when Jordan is in the gym, and it'll be worse when Lincoln there is tagging with her, so beware of this Thursday, or you won't walk away with your legs, or a good face."

Ryan has no clue what they mean, and he doesn't even know what the heck is going on.

Then Chloe and Clyde reveal what they have in their picnic baskets. Clyde then announces. "Now, for today's lunch. We have a cherry jubilee, cherry cake, some hotdogs and sandwiches, and for drinks, some soda or bottled water. Enjoy everyone."

But then they notice Ryan's weird look on the cherry food, almost looks like a glare or some stern emotion. "Something wrong there, Ryan?" asked Chloe.

Ryan then explains. "Sorry guys, but I don't like cherries, and it's also because I am highly allergic to them. I think I'll stick to the sandwiches and hotdogs, what are the contents besides just some meats?"

Clyde then responds. "The hotdogs are cheese hotdogs, and the burgers are the best meat I made alongside Chloe and my dad's, the hard part was making sure the cat's don't go near them, and we have some condiments for you to use, from ketchup and mustard, all the way to relish and hot sauce."

They all begin to eat, and Ryan goes for some hot sauce into his hot dog, and some relish. Zach on the other hand is confused. 'Hmmm, that's not possible. No person could be allergic to cherries. He's lying, I know it.'

Then Ryan notices the stare from Gretchen, and the others notice this as well and Lincoln and Jordan can see some small hearts in her eyes. This makes them snicker and then Ryan asks. "Umm, is she feeling alright?"

Gretchen giggles. "Yeah, super. You know, we can show you around the school tomorrow, and then you can pick out a good club to be part of, we can both be in the baking and cooking club if you want." Hope notices this, and she has this bad feeling.

Ryan on the other hand smiles. "Wow. That sounds nice, I make a mean peach cobbler and I am good with peaches, you guys like peaches too?" Some of them agree to that, though Liam is more of an apple kinda guy, and also with the cherries, and hearing that makes Ryan seem, less than pleased.

Gretchen giggles. "Well, looks like we're all gonna have so much fun when tomorrow comes. I can show you around and then you can get to know everything in Middle School… And, also get to know me." She blushes red, and the others notice this and smile, they know something is happening to Gretchen.

The way Gretchen was talking to Ryan like that, was not making Hope happy. 'Oh, you have gotta be kidding me? This is not happening, what the heck? Gretchen is eying him?! Are you for reals?! He just got to this town and now she's interested him already! We don't even know him that much yet!'

(Night time.)

At the Loud House, the night has come and Michelle opens her window and she sees some lights going on at the others house, from which the Millers are staying and this has her confused.

'Strange, now what the heck would they be doing in the middle of the night? Are they installing a brand new surround sound TV? Because that would be odd to put that thing in the second floor, also something else is going on. Because I even saw them deny the magazine on Cherry's monthly and a lot of folks in Royal Woods Michigan gets those. Something doesn't seem right.'

She then heads back to the camera room so she can see if everything else has been caught on camera to sort out what's going on, and she doesn't even know that someone is on the roof, and that someone is her daughter, Delilah.

She's stalking the roof and dressed in a black suit for well-camouflaged tactics, and she uses some FutureTech binoculars and she looks to the window and the lights and sparks going on there. 'Something is going on there, I don't know what it is but those people are up to something!'

'They threw away my cherry pie and didn't even just say they don't want it, and Lincoln said that Ryan is allergic to cherries, but I doubt he actually is and that something else is going on. Also, the scanners are picking up a whole lot of energy, more energy than some power generator or even a big TV.'

'I don't know what the heck is going on, but starting tomorrow I need to know what else is… Wait, I got school tomorrow, dang it! Wait, mom! She could help me with this, but I need to tell her about what I am checking out, and I hope she's alright in helping me see what the bigger picture is!'

She doesn't even know that Zach is also spying on them from the bushes far from the house. He can see the sparks coming from the Miller's house. 'I knew it! I knew something was up! No one would wanna hate cherries like that, which means… The Millers are…. Aliens and they've come to destroy cherries!'

Zach then gets on his bike, dressed as a bush and he rides off to tell his parents, and he doesn't notice Mr. Grouse watching the bush ride off. "Great, now bushes are alive. What else is new?"

To be continued in the next chapter.

A/N: This is just part 1 guys, I chose to make this a two part thing, and I hope this is fine with my friend "Marvelomac1010." This is gonna be one heck of a chapter line for this story and it's just getting juicy, as juicy as cherries…. Or peaches, whichever one. Anyone here a cherry fan or a peach fan? Leave a review and tell me what you all think everyone.

Why did I add Zach? Well, it's gonna be a bit comical in the story guys, so let Zach Gurdle step in and make things awkward. He is so gonna be disappointed when he finds out the truth!

Hey guys, so anyone here with an idea for Sam Sharp's Birthday? PM me dudes.
