Family of Two.
Chapter 620: Rage, Bugs, Sofas and Ghosts.
(September 8. The Royal Woods Middle School.)
Dodge Ball Time once again, and this time we see Lincoln, Jordan and the rest of their friends on the same team, and they are all doing the best that they can, but Rusty got hit when the whistle blew, and he is out. Apparently, he thought he could do some kind of tornado twist, but it didn't even start and he is down. So, Polly got revenge for him. Ouch.
As they all continue this, Lincoln then ducks and he grabs a dodge ball and throws it, then he looks around. "Hey, has anyone seen Clyde anywhere?" He then grabs Jordan, and the duo dodge and then throw, and they even cover fire for Lance and Artie, apparently Lance is down and he is dragging him away. What is this? World War 2?
Then Clyde arrives, in his gym uniform and it looked like he was running. "I'm here! I'm here!" He then ducks. "Sorry that I was late guys." He then steps to the side.
"Clyde, are you okay there?" asked Stella, she then dodges and does a backflip, and then stands next to Leslie. "You look all sweaty, and also did you run here?"
"Not like ya to do that" replied Leslie, and she dodges and then throws her dodge ball and hits someone.
"Also, where are those sweet and delicious Thursday Tarts you always make?" asked Liam, he then sees an incoming dodge ball, but Tabby grabs it and she throws it back. "Thanks darling."
"Didn't bake any, and sorry guys." Clyde ducks, and he side steps, does the split, and then he grabs a dodge ball about to hit, Zach. "Last night, something awful happened." He then throws the ball, and he hits someone, and it bounces off and hits another student.
"I was having Tea, and watching my fave show, Operation Dessert-Storm. I would've watched the Great British Bake-Off, but there was some technical difficulties." Clyde grabs another ball and he throws it and hits someone. "I was hoping that Zamir would win, because his Flan was amazing, and delicious, and perfect." He then ducks and throws another ball, the others watch him do this and they also dodge some balls, and even Coach Keck is seeing this from Clyde McBride.
"But then it turned out, one of the contestants was disqualified for using a non-regulation Whisk, and it was... Zamir!" Clyde then seems ticked, and he throws the ball so hard, it hits three students. "I mean, Zamir wouldn't cheat! He would never cheat! He is a good guy!" He then grabs two incoming dodge balls and then he sends them back and hits two students.
Jordan then makes a suggestion. "Well, how about cheering for a different contestant."
"How about Maneet?" asked Zach.
"What?! No way!" Clyde is now looking furious. "Maneet's creampuffs!" He then grabs all their dodge balls, and he throws them with no mercy. "Are dry!" They watch as every student on the opposing side are wiped out, and the others are shocked and surprised, and Chloe has hearts in her eyes.
The carnage is soon over, and Coach Keck is so baffled, that Dartrix flies over, and blows the whistle. Zach then removes his glasses. "Wow. I needed that, and there is something else I need, a cup of herbal tea." He then walks off, and the others are amazed.
Coach Keck then asks. "Ummm, what the heck just happened?"
"He became a hunk!" They all look to Chloe, and she has hearts in her eyes from what she just witnessed.
Mollie shakes her hand in front of Chloe. "Folks, Chloe Curda has become totally heart struck, well love struck, and how long do you think Clyde is gonna be the third most dangerous dodge ball player?"
Lincoln and Jordan saw the rage in his eyes, and strength and power. "Give him a week." They then head back to the lockets, and amongst those wiped out from the Clyde dodge ball barrage, are the Bravura Twins Sarah and Scott, and they can cross Clyde and Chloe off of their list, or they will be flattened.
(The Loud House.)
At the Loud House, Michelle is feeling calm and relaxed. "Alright, day off here I come. A plate of sandwiches for myself to enjoy and with some iced tea, and a nice day of movies to watch. Twilight here I come and..." she then stops and hears a chirping sound. "What the heck?"
Michelle looks around for this sound and she keeps searching, so she places the plate of sandwiches and her iced tea on the coffee table and she looks around for the sound, then she hears her phone ringtone and she checks who it is. "Oh, Roland Chisel." she then checks what his text message is.
Roland Chisel – Just wanted to see what you were doing, and I am aware that it is your day off. So, how's about going out with me tonight? I don't have any plans, and my plans to sell calendars seems to be moved, I am having issues trying to contact the folks who make them. How's 6 tonight?
Michelle smiles and then she sends a message that she will take this chance, then she hears the chirping sound again, and she checks around the place. "Where the heck is that noise coming from?" she then goes to check behind the TV. "Nope."
Michelle then goes through the case with their photos. "Not here." She even checks behind it. "Nah." She then goes to the chimney, and she uses a flashlight and she checks. "Not a dang single thing." Michelle then checks the arm chair and she even removes the cushion. "What the heck is even going on here?" Then she stops and hears it, and then she looks to the couch and she sees it.
Right there, is a cricket, and she places her hand and the little insect hops onto her hand. "Hey there, little fella. Looks like someone found a place to stay, well I can let you hang around the place, little chirps." she then places the cricket onto the table. "As long as you can remain quiet, then you can stay, I am trying to relax and..." she sits on the couch, but then the legs of the couch snap and it slowly creaks, and then she feels it got shorter.
Michelle is startled, and so is the cricket, and then Michelle gets up and she looks to the couch and she sees the damage underneath and she sighs. "Oh for goodness gracious sake, seriously?" she then gets up and then she grabs her cellphone. "Gonna have to call for a couch removal and a new couch to buy, hope Lunes and Linc are up for it, and the girls too."
Then she sees the cricket look to her. "Go on ahead and watch something. This is gonna be a while." she then calls someone and she goes to the kitchen to grab the receipt of the couch, and all the while, the cricket turns on the TV, uses the remote and watches what is on.
But then something goes to the window and sees the bug, and as soon as Michelle returns, she sees the cricket is gone. "Huh, where did he go?" she sees a crow has snuck in, and then flies off, and she goes wide eyed and is surprised. "Okay, didn't see this coming." Michelle then closes the window, and she goes back to watching TV, and this time she uses the arm chair... but that thing breaks and this startles her, and then she groans. "Seriously?"
(Later in the afternoon, Royal Woods Cemetery.)
School is done for the day, and we see Lucy, and her friends, and even Harriet are here, and they all gather with some good news. "Alright, so what is the count on the cash we scored to make?"
Boris. "Boris has managed to make more than one thousand bucks, after helping clean chimneys around town. Apparently, Boris is tall and thin to fit and clean what darkness they have molded within."
Persephone. "Morpheus and I have managed to make the same one thousand dollars, and we have done so after we sold our dark chocolate eye ball candy, and also they thought we were trick or treaters, and we made some extra candy as well."
Dante. "I made more than 900 bucks, after doing some garbage throwing for some people, and I for one despise this job, but it is for the good of the cause, and I managed to find something I can use." Dante shows them the rat skeleton and they are amazed at this find.
Haiku. "Lucy and I have done the best we could, and we raised some money to save the cemetery, and also some extra cash for ourselves to go to Casket-Con. More than ten thousand dollars for the cemetery, and 800 bucks for us, and also they thought we were trick or treaters, and gave us some candy. Goth perks."
Maggie. "The High School Morticians Club made more than ten thousand bucks from washing cars, delivering newspapers, and selling school calendars. We literally hate doing this, but if it is for Casket-con, then it is all so worth it."
Lucy is pleased to hear this from them all. "An amazing and truly great job everyone. We now have made plenty of money to go to casket-con. But a shame that Rocky cannot attend, for he is recovering after his accident down the stairs, and will be on the cast, for the next week."
"Next week is Casket-Con, Lucy" replied Morpheus. "Maybe we can help him, with some live stream drone and stuff."
Lucy likes this idea. "A sound plan, and I think this'll work. Oh, right." they all look to the ghost. "And what have you to benefit to the clubs oh dear Harriet?"
Harriet speaks last. "I have done my part, and managed to make more than one hundred thousand dollars." Now that surprises all of them.
"Wait, what?!"
Haiku asks. "How in the name of all things darkness did you make that much money?"
Harriet then explains. "As you should know, when a funeral has begun, then they need someone for the service or someone who could setup a fine service to honor the dead, and since I am able to speak to the spirits before they can pass on, they hire me. That, and also because a lot of others who are hired to make the setup are booked and busy."
"I even went to places that aren't within Royal Woods. From Great Lakes City, Beaverton and even Hazeltucky, and not just that. I also allow the power for the dead to speak to the living, and so before they do pass on, they are allowed a chance to speak and say their farewell to their family, one very last time. But I cannot guarantee that they can go to heaven, chances they will drop to hell for their mistakes and many other problems."
"Another thing that I have been doing, is going around the town and dealing with hauntings. Apparently there are some locations with ghosts, ghosts who are restless ad will not leave, and so I deal with them and ensure they are put to rest. From Mr. Grouse's house, Sunset Canyon, The Town Hall, Royal Woods High School Basement, and even the local baseball stadium. That ghost wanted to do one last pitch, and a homerun."
They all couldn't believe what they are hearing, and so they speak. "Take us with you next time."
To be continued in the next chapter everyone.
