Family of Two.
Chapter 568: Leni's graduation day.

(June 12. Royal Woods High School.)

The whole place is cheering, and everyone in the crowd are happy and proud at those who are graduating from the school year they have been through and whatever else is gonna go down for their future. A lot of parents are happy, proud and amazed at where their kids are now, ready to take the next step away from High School.

Among the crowd are: Luna, Lincoln, Sam, Jordan, Delilah, Leslie, Michelle, Luan, Lori, Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lucy, the all feel proud of where Leni is now, along with her friends Jackie and Mandee. Lincoln feels proud the most, and though she is not a loud, he still sees her as family.

Oh, and the Logann's are here! Kurt, Hanna, Jeremy, and of course Maddeline.

Maddeline seems very happy to see and hear what Leni has to say, but then she stops and she looks around, she felt like she heard something and can feel something watch her, and she then goes back to watchin Leni as she is about to make her speech.

Then everyone cheers, and they see Leni Lauren head onto the podium, dressed in her graduation uniform and she looks to everyone, and even her two friends are proud of her, and her work friends are among the crowd as well. Leni then makes her speech.

"Thank you, all of you for being here and to bear witness the best of the best that the Royal Woods High School has to offer, and have made and molded, and I guess I am among them and I never thought I was gonna be part of this, and yet here I am with all of you... Looking towards an amazing and bright future." Everyone cheers hearing this, and the students as well.

"I didn't think that someone like me made it this far, because I was never ever the smartest or the sharpest mind, only when fashion is involved. But after some major changes, and a lot of critical stuff, I have seen that I can be more than the very same ditzy headed Leni whom all of you know and love, and I am happy with the changes, and how things have been."

"A hard, long and very complicated road, especially being around those whom I would still see as family, and have taught me to become someone else, and not someone I wanted... but someone needed, and would be better than whom I was before. But I am happy and glad that everyone else did their hardest, worked hard and made sure they didn't give up, just so they can make it here, and be ready for the next set of challenges in life."

Leni then takes a look at everyone. "Everyone, and those whom we see as friends, family and loved ones. Thank you for seeing us, and for being happy and proud at the amazing accomplishments we have achieved and made done, and I know that whatever is next... We can overcome them, and make a whole brand new and awesome future, an awesome adventure, and a grand new story, to our lives."

Everyone cheers and claps hearing this, and it's a standing ovation that makes even principal rivers and her assistant Oliver shed some tears as well.

Leni sighs in relief, and she waves to everyone and then she steps down the podium and she joins her friends, not knowing that those who are her friends, family and loved ones didn't see this coming, the whole speech is something they didn't expect from Leni.

Lincoln. 'Holy moly. That was awesome, Leni... Wow... that was a dang good speech, and I can't wait to see where her future leads to.'

Luna. 'Did Leni secretly join the debate team? Because I don't recall her doing that when we were in school. She nailed that speech good, and also I feel confident... almost like I wanna become far better than who I am than before.'

Lori. 'Well done there, Leni. Literally well dang done there, Leni. I honestly can't believe she did that, and I don't think we can all get over this. Now, all we gotta do is be ready for college.'

Luan. 'Huh, didn't think she had it in her. Wow, she has changed so much, and glad that she showed the best she could speak. Because I don't think we will ever live this down. Huh, I wonder how mom managed to make such a speech, because I think she did make it on her own.'

Kurt Logann. 'Wow, I love her so much. Her words are so inspiring, and she is awesome.'

(Later.)

Leni takes some photos with everyone, and she is happy to have them all here, and they are proud of what she has done and what she had said. Lincoln then hugs Leni. "That speech was so awesome, Leni. You were awesome!"

Leni chuckles. "Thanks, Lincoln. I knew it would work, and also I kinda made the speech and took two days to remember all of it." All of them are surprised to hear that. "What? I made it happen and a lot of the folks loved it. That speech was also to help motivate the others who will make their next step when the next school year is done, right?"

Luna smiles. "Dang right, I already feel motivated."

"Same here" replied Sam.

Then Maddeline Logann races over and she hugs Leni. Leni smiles and returns the hug, then Luan joins in and so does Lori. "We're proud of you mom, that speech was so amazing. Best thing we have ever heard" replied Luan.

"We are literally happy at what you have done, the speech got me good and I just... Wow, Leni!" said Lori, and then she takes a selfie with Leni. "This is the best accomplishment you have ever done, and we are all dang proud of you."

Leni chuckles. "Thanks everyone, and that means a lot. Now I think we should all head back, and then enjoy the celebration party, right?"

But then Kurt Logann pulls her close, and they share a passionate kiss, Chad is about to talk to her, but seeing this makes him think otherwise and he goes back to his parents and sister, Dana. He is happy for Leni, that she found someone in her life who is amazing, and would love her for who she is on the inside, and not much on the outside. An understanding kind of guy.

They then depart from the kiss, and both Leni Lauren and Kurt Logann blush and are in a love daze and then they speak. "Gosh I love you, so much." The others find this adorable, and even Leni's friends loved this and take some photos of the moment between Leni and Kurt.

Then Leni speaks. "Also, I think Luan, Lori and me are ready for this awesome summer vacation. We do take off the day after tomorrow."

Kurt nods. "Yeah, I know and we'll all be ready for that, to see you guys at the Logann ranch, and enjoying the peace and calming place."

The others all recall, that Leni, Lori and Luan will be spending the summer at the Logann's ranch, and doing their part to not just enjoy, but help out as well. Something they have never done, some good old country hard work. But as they are enjoying this moment, they don't notice Maddeline going to the bushes, because she saw something hiding and she wants to know what has been watching over her.

Lincoln is happy to hear this, and he knows that he'll see Leni soon after two months, he wants her to be happy and he knows that one day, Leni and the others will take off and take their future elsewhere, and he is looking forward to that awesome future Leni will have.

"Guys, what the heck is that thing?" they all see what Maddeline Logann has in her arms, a Pokémon. "I went to the bushes, and saw this little cute fella." Her parents and brother are surprised, and so are the others, Maddeline found herself a Pokémon.

"Now what in the blazes is that little fella?" asked Jeremy Logann. Lincoln checks the Pokedex he brought with him, just in case.

Chespin.
The Spiny Nut Pokémon. Grass-Type.
The quills on its head are usually soft. When it flexes them, the points become so hard and sharp that they can pierce rock. Such a thick shell of wood covers its head and back that even a direct hit from a truck wouldn't faze it. Evolves into Quilladin.

"Huh, well looks like you got yourself a new friend there, Maddie. Just like me." Rowlet then lands on the head of Lincoln, he yawns and then sleeps, and then Maddeline Logann look towards her parents.

"Can I keep him? Can I keep him?"

The parents, Hannah and Jeremy Logann look to the little thing, and they do recall the many other animals which Maddie has helped take care, and they both nod and she hugs Chespin, and the grass-type Pokémon smiles and hugs her back.

Leni and Kurt chuckle seeing this and they can tell that they're summer vacation is gonna be very interesting.

To be continued on June 14.
