Family of Two.
Chapter 492: New work and incoming stuff.

(March 2. Lauren Residence.)

Leni and Luan are dressed for the day and have their school things. "You got everything you need, Luan?" asked Leni.

Luan nods. "My homework and book report is all here, and the script I still need to master." She then puts on her back pack.

Leni nods. "Awesome. Lori, are you ready?"

"Ready and coming." Leni and Luan then see Lori, and she looks prepared for what this day has for her. "Alright, I am ready for my first day on the job. Let's do this thing."

They all head out of the house, and head for Leni's car, then Leni speaks. "Lori, we might not be there to pick you up, and so I hope you know which bus or ride to take when you need to go back home, right?"

Lori nods, but then she speaks. "Leni, chances I will be working all day there. We need to prepare for the lunch rush and then the dinner rush, and as a waitress to the place, I know what I am doing. This job is right for me, and I can handle it."

"Also, chances I might call for a ride when we're almost done, so waiting for the bus is not gonna be an issue for me. I got this girls, you two should be worried about school today." They then head into the car and then drive off. Leni and Luan to head for school, and bringing Lori to her new job.

They drive by the Loud House, and the sight of them driving off makes Luna smile. "Well, there they go off to whatever they gotta do. Lori's gonna have a dang good time working at the restaurant. She is a responsible lady after all, right?"

"No kidding." Lincoln then gets into the car, followed by Leslie and Delilah, and they drive off to their respective schools, and Michelle has already driven off to her work, so she can be prepared for what comes soon.

(Rose and Comfort Restaurant.)

Lori is already coming out from the kitchen and she places down the food for the table and then she goes back to the kitchen. "Alright, so table five is still waiting those fried shrimp and fries. Let's try and pick up the pace."

She then runs into Jesse Rosato. "Hey, Mrs. Rosato. I was able to please eight tables, and all of them chose today's specials for lunch, and one of them needed a refill and so I got her one. This rush is doing well."

Jesse smiles. "Wow. Incredible waitress skills, Lori. I am impressed and it seems I did make the right choice to hire you, you're a natural."

Lori nods. "Thank you, I have been doing my part and helping keep track and assisting the inmates back in juvie and jail and they appreciated the help I gave to them and tried to do the same and help others. I was also once assigned to help the cafeteria of the place and see who had problems with the food. This seems normal and easy for me."

Jesse Rosato smiles. "Well, don't get your hopes up too far there, Lori. This is the lunch rush, we have yet to encounter the dinner rush and it's gonna be tough than this. Are you prepared for that one?"

Lori has a look of determination. "I can manage, it can't be as hard as serving crab to twenty five inmates in one night." She then heads off to check on the tables she was waiting, and what she said confuses Jesse Rosato, she didn't expect that kind of response and she wants to know what else Lori did back in juvie and jail.

(Royal Woods Middle School.)

Right now, at the lunch table is where Lincoln and the gang are and all of them talking about what had gone down last month and I don't just mean the birthday of Leni Lauren. "Dude, those Pokémon sure were something and it would be nice to see them again" replied Lance.

"Yeah, I mean that Bulbasaur was the real deal, and so awesome up close" replied Trent.

"I didn't think they would be so adorable up close" replied Rachel. "I would love to meet that little turtle again, he was so adorable!"

Then Zach speaks. "I thought they were aliens at first, but when they said that those were legit Pokémon, my mind blew so hard that I don't think I was able to think on what was real and what was not. Totally awesome."

Clyde then asks Lincoln. "So, when can we expect to see Pokémon again? They were so cool and I was wondering if I could meet that Farfetch'd fellow from the information books, he looked like an awesome chef of some sort."

Delilah is the one who speaks. "Whoa. Slow it down, folks and calm down. Guys, we get that those Pokémon were cool and all, but we cannot let them literally stay in our world unless we get legit permission from the higher ranks of the other world."

"They are the ones who make the choice to allow such creatures to live in another world. Jack Cyber, one of FutureTech's representatives told me that there are two worlds that have Pokémon as the local wildlife. A world that is parallel from ours and of course the world where he came from along with our counterparts."

Leslie then speaks. "But we can try and ask, but we cannot promise anything that they will say yes. The choice is theirs, not ours. Mostly the guardians."

The others all understand, even though they feel like their dreams of seeing those Pokémon and much more might not come true. Then Jordan speaks. "Let's be patient and take our time guys. This might be something that could happen, one day or not. But one thing we do know, is that perhaps our hero counterparts could be understanding, they might say yes to this and reason with the guardian."

"Let us hope so" replied Rusty. "Also, what are the Pokémon your hero counterparts have?"

Jordan speaks first. "Alright, so my counterpart told me that she has a Lopunny which started as a Buneary, and Sam Sharp has a Pikachu and hasn't bothered to evolve yet. Leni there has a Roserade which started from a Budew, and Lori in that world has Volcarona which started our as Larvesta."

Lincoln speaks next. "My hero counterpart has an Absol, his cousin or twin, Linka has an Arcanine which started off as a Growlithe when she got him on her birthday, Luna Frost there has an Exploud, which started off from a Whismur, and there are a lot to cover up that we can't tell you guys. It's a lot."

All of them are surprised to hear this, and then they talk to each other about what they're counterparts from that world have as Pokémon companions. This gives Lincoln, Jordan, Leslie and Delilah some air to breathe, then Lincoln sees his phone go off and he checks the text message and he is surprised.

Commander Freezer Burn – Hey Loud, come tomorrow we're gonna come and train you guys. Bring Leni Lauren if you want, because our Leni wants to chat with her.

Jordan, Delilah and Leslie read the message as well and are surprised. Come tomorrow, they're gonna have some other worldly visitors/trainers.

(Royal Woods High School.)

The last bell has rung for the day and Luna and Sam take their leave from the school and are headed to Luna's car. "So, any plans today with Lincoln or are you taking the others home?" asked Sam.

Luna then recalls the recent text from her son and she shows it to Sam. "Check this out, Sammy." Sam sees what Lincoln sent to his mother.

Lincoln – Mom, I think we're both gonna be going home together. Delilah said that she is gonna be with Leslie to the library today, they got something to look into for their book report, while I already have mine made and set and ready. So, I don't have any plans unless we count tomorrow and the training thing with our hero counterparts. See you here soon, love you mom.

Sam chuckles. "Cool, and you plan to bring Lincoln someplace to hang out later?"

Luna then puts her phone away. "Sure do, gonna bring the little due to Rose and Comfort restaurant and enjoy something good there, and also see how Lori is handling her job there, but something tells me that she has it all wrapped up. You wanna tag along, babe?"

Sam nods. "Sure. Simon said that he is gonna be busy with a big meeting with his little gamer's club, and my parents are busy as well. I could hang out with you and Lincoln, like a duo mom and one son bonding thing."

Luna smiles. "Awesome. Let's go and hang out with our kid." Luna and Sam hop into Luna's car and they drive off, and they do wave to Sully and Mazzy as they get into the bus and head on home. Luna then recalls something and she asks her girlfriend. "We already know what we got planned for this Friday, right Sammy?"

Sam nods and then she explains. "We have the two songs prepared, we know there will be a lot of other folks who wanna participate and be an awesome band, but we can nail the songs and with Lincoln by our side, this is gonna feel like one big dang happy family musical get together."

Luna chuckles. "Dang right, we know the lyrics and so does Lincoln. We know the beat and so does Lincoln, we have been doing practice for the past few days and we all got it locked and loaded, and besides training tomorrow, the whole musical festival is gonna be a wild and awesome one, and loud too."

"Dang right" replied Sam, then she asks. "So, when do you guys plan to visit the others in juvie and jail and show them the now freed and newly renamed last name Lori Lauren?"

To be continued...

A/N: Lori now works at the restaurant owned by Jordan's mom, and the Pokémon from last month have sparked a major talk around town, while Luna and Sam are prepared for the Music Festival and the training for tomorrow from their hero counterparts. I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter guys.
