Hello again Loch Loud, time for a two week vacation here, of fun and beach time and peaceful country moments, and with some Loud-ancestors in the midst as well, lads. But a trouble is brewing, and they need to be ready for what comes next. I hope you will all enjoy reading this my fellow readers.
Family of Two.
Chapter 588: Loch Loud summer time 1.
(Loch Loud, Scotland.)
Here we are, back at the Lands named after the last name of the Louds, and the Heavy Hercules Aircraft is flying by the town, because it doesn't plan to land there, there is a special landing zone and it is located at the Castle of the Louds.
The townsfolk's spot the aircraft and they all cheer seeing the aircraft flying over the place, and then folks inside look out the windows of the large and heavily armoured aircraft ad wave to the folks below. Then the guardian dragon named, Lela flies by and then guides the large and heavily armored aircraft to the castle.
The large aircraft then slowly makes it's descend onto the landing pad, and then it makes a touch down ad waiting for them is the Duke of the land, Angus and he is proud that they have returned, and then the main doors open. "Welcome back... Louds?"
He sees that the folks who showed up are: Lincoln, Luna, Sam, Jordan and her parents, Michelle, Leslie, Delilah and their Pokémon companions: Rowlet, Rosey the Hisuian Braviary and Snowball the Hisuian Growlithe.
"Huh, I was expecting a larger group than this, where are the rest of the former Louds?" asked Angus.
Luna then explains. "Leni, Lori and Luan went to spend the summer with someone whom Leni is in a relationship with. Lola and Lana are with their mom spending the summer with their grandma, Lily is with her 'rents spending their own summer at where they live, and Lucy is enjoying her own summer vacation with her family someplace else, Lisa is doing the same with her family and I think it's at some other country. Sorry they couldn't come along for the ride, but we're here."
Jordan then speaks. "My parents and I were planning something else for the summer, but then we changed our plans and so here we are, I do hope this is alright with you sir."
Angus nods. "That's alright, this is fine folks. Good to have the louds back and some friendly..." Snowball then tackles him and licks the man. "Some new friendly faces, what kind of a dog are you now you little beasty?"
Delilah chuckles and she goes over and picks up her Pokémon companion. "Let's just say, Royal Woods has changed, and some new things have been made possible, so are we really staying at the castle?" The Braviary Rosey then takes off, and flies alongside Lela across the lands of loch Loud and this makes Leslie happy to see that Lela the guardian dragon has made a friend.
Angus is then helped up by Lela, and he speaks. "Well of course, this is your castle after all. So, it seems fit that you lot spend the summer here, and have the best vacation checking out the rest of the town and I am sure the good folks will be happy to see you lot again. Now, let's get you all accommodated into the rooms once more."
They all follow Angus, but then Michelle turns around and she pushes the button on the remote and the Heavy Hercules converts into a mobile communications relay station. "There, all good and all prepped up." she then grabs her bags and she sets them to hover, and they follow her and the others do the same to their own bags and they follow the Duke of Loch Loud.
They then head down the stairs and then the Duke speaks. "After you lot and the others left Loch Loud, the town has been doing quite well with me leading them, I have been doing the usual stuff of going around the town and helping with problems, but I needed to teach them on how to resolve these problems themselves."
"I managed to help, and even with the ghosts counseling me, and it all worked out. The folks of the town have managed to fix small issues that they can handle without my help, and it's all quite the good times for them. I help with some disputes and act as judge when there is a total disagreement, and I have successfully helped sort out those problems and make sure that there is an agreement."
"Though, most of the disputes are locked onto the local businesses, and less on the fishing line at the docks. But it all is a good thing when an agreement is made and done, I like making them all happy and finding some peace. The ghosts of the Louds of old on the other hand do something else around Loch Loud, they help keep the castle clean and alright, and also watch over the prisoner."
Luna knows who he means and then she asks. "So, Morag still in the dungeon?"
Duke Angus nods, and they arrive to the hallway, which leads to all of the rooms they will all be staying. "Indeed she is. We only let Morag out when she needs some sunlight and some clean air, but only for 20 minutes, and then it is back to the dungeon she goes. Do not worry lads, and lass'. Morag is watched over, and there is no way that she can ever be a problem to the lot of you on your summer vacation."
Michelle nods. "Good to know, but just to be safe, we have some of our own precautions, and it's all necessary in case she does something diabolical. We do recall, she tried to push Lincoln off the balcony, and he could've been seriously hurt."
Angus nods and he sighs. "Well, the folks of the town sometimes ask me of what I should do with Morag, and many folks are thinking that she should be banished from here. But I don't think that's such a swell idea. One reason why, is because she would try and exact some revenge on you lot for making this all possible, and it might lead straight to your boy."
"So, the best option I have, and the ghosts also agree, is to keep her here for a long, long time and with no chances of freedom. So, a for life sentence." They are all surprised to hear this, but Luna and Sam are alright with that sentence, and they all are gonna avoid the dungeon area for a while and leave that wretched old hag be.
Sam then asks. "So, where is the spooky Louds of royalty?"
Angus then explains. "At the town, they tend to wander around and greet the good townsfolk's, and they are trying to get used to this new modern times, such as trying to cope with learning from the internet, and Lisa's ancestor is very much interested. Bless me bagpipes, they are legit trying as an old person learning how to use a computer." This makes them all chuckle, and it sounds about right.
"Well, we should get to the rooms. A dang shame the others aren't around, but we can't change their minds" replied Leslie. "I am so bunking in where Leni would be in."
"I'm taking the room which was meant for Lynn" replied Delilah, and the two girls head to the rooms, and with Snowball following Delilah.
Michelle takes the room which was meant for the Royal parents of the Louds, and Sam takes the room from which Luan would be in, and the Rosato's go to the guest rooms, while Jordan takes the room which is meant for Lola, and then Luna looks to her son. "You gonna be chill in your room on your own, kiddo?"
Lincoln nods. "I'm gonna be alright mom, an also I was thinking that we should spend some rest and peace and calming time outside, once we're done. There is a nice tree out there, and we can enjoy some soothing time there."
Luna chuckles and nods. "Now that sounds like a wicked awesome idea, see you outside kiddo." Luna then enters the room where she will be staying, and then Lincoln sighs and goes into the room which once belonged to the great Duke of Loch Loud.
(Later in the Day.)
The afternoon has fallen, and the rest of the folks on this summer vacation are out and having their own fun time. Jordan is in the library of the castle with Delilah and Leslie and checking out the long history of the Louds of old.
Michelle went to the town, with the Rosato parents for the meantime, and their Pokémon are just having their own fun at the castle grounds, and with Jordan's dog, Ajax and they have some new groundskeepers keeping the place nice and clean, and they enjoy the louds returning here for the summer vacation.
Luna, Lincoln and Sam on the other hand, they are under the shade of a tree which is neighboring some topiaries forming the shapes of the Louds from long ago, and all the while strumming away on their acoustic guitars.
Watching them from the top of the castle, are the ghostly ancestors of the Louds. The Duke, and his older sister, Luna Anne Marie and all the ghosts have been informed that the former louds are having their own vacation and they even told them that Lynn has been moved to a juvie near Royal Woods, so she can feel more close to home and redemption.
The Duke sighs. "Seeing them like this, brings back some dang good memories, right dearest sister?"
Luna Anne Marie nods. "Indeed, brother. I never would've thought that they would be right there, the very same tree where I would be sitting, the same place which is where I would try and find some inspiration for a musical tune to make the days we spend all the worthwhile."
"Though, I have to say... That Samantha Sharp lass, she sure is a good looking lass. Luna picked a nice gal to call her soul mate, and she has a good heart and a kind spirit. I now see why Lincoln sees her as his mother as well, she has a good mental thought on how to be good with children, and she treats Lincoln like her child as well. Luna Loud, you have yourself a keeper."
The Duke chuckles. "This is going to be a very special summer for all of us, and I cannot wait to know more about Lincoln Loud and Jordan Rosato and the life they have together, and how far their relationship has gone. It's a sweet thing." Then he recalls something. 'Reminds me of... Of the girl I would've called my one true love.'
Luna Anne Marie can tell that her ghostly duke brother is feeling saddened, and she knows why, because even she recalls the fine lass whom her brother has met long ago, and was the girl of his dreams and a dang good friend. Deep down, she hopes that the Louds don't find out the truth, that the Duke of Louds long ago, once swore revenge and claimed it through war.
The Duke and Luna Anne Marie continue to watch over the peaceful, bonding time between Luna, Lincoln and Sam. But none of them are aware that someone is spying on them.
From the small window near the bottom of the castle where above is the library, we see a spyglass which is very long and peeking through it is Morag and she looks angry at what she sees. "So, those Louds have returned ey? Well, looks like the time for my revenge is finally at hand. When I do get out of here, that boy will regret ever stepping foot on this place, since day 1!"
To be continued in the next chapter lads and lass'.
A/N: Day 1, and back at Loch Loud, for a two week summer vacation time. Things are turning out well, and they look forward to what else they can do to have some fun, but with is that damned woman Morag up to? I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
