The school is closed for Spring Break.

It's time to relax and have fun until classes start.

Or at least, that was the intention.


DATE: APRIL 10, 2015, LAST DAY OF THE SPRING BREAK, LOUD TOWER, NEW YORK


Friday night.

Although it is a cliché in movies and stories, it seems to be people's main choice for dates and parties, or just for fun.

In a crowded restaurant, several teenagers are enjoying a party with a lot of rock n 'roll, with several bands performing. Everyone is having fun, enjoying loud music, eating junkfood and enjoying each other's company. Tonight, though, is not being fun for Luna Loud.

Almost three years ago, she formed the band Moonblast with three friends from school, being the guitarist and lead singer. At the bass was Ashley, a girl with long blond hair with purple streaks, and who sang almost as well as Luna. On the drum was Becky, who had dyed her short hair blue, giving her a very cool look. And finally, they had on the keyboard Jake, Becky's twin brother, whose hair was blond and curly.

The three girls met in detention, both for causing noise at school. They decided to form the band together, and Becky suggested calling her brother to play the keyboard. Although he preferred to play Beethoven on the piano, Jake eventually gave in to his twin, and eventually discovered that he liked rock. For the next years they rehearsed and met each other better, until they became inseparable friends. Everytime they had a chance, they tried to make their band famous, and last month they knew about that restaurant.

This was to be the big night of their band, but everything went wrong. Becky and Jake had to go to Texas for their grandfather's funeral, and they would not be back until Tuesday. Before Luna could do anything, Ashley discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her, and now she was a real mess of feelings.

Luna went to the restaurant to try to cheer her up, but not even all the rock around her could make it. She could not feel good knowing the twins' family was sad, and she felt worse because Ashley did not want to talk to anyone.

When she was almost determined to leave, a boy approached her table.

"Is anyone sitting here?"

Luna looked up, and was totally paralyzed by what she saw.

In front of her was a boy a little taller than her, wearing a purple shirt with a skull, covered by a black leather jacket. He had freckles like she, and his hair was shaved on the sides with a faux hawk at top, and even had paperclips on his ears. He wore dark jeans and high purple boots like hers, as well as a white belt wraped two times around his waist, and he carried a guitar of the same model as hers on his back, only blue.

"N-No. You can sit." Luna replied, beginning to blush.

"You don't seem to be having fun. Is not the party good enough for you?"

The boy sat across from her, leaving one arm resting on the chair to look cool. Luna could not stop looking at him, intrigued by how similar they were. It was almost as if he were her male counterpart.

"It's not the party, it's personal problems."

"So you're not going to perform?" The boy looked shocked, and looked at her sadly. "I was eager to hear Moonblast again."

"You know my band!?" Luna got shocked and blushed even more.

"Of course. You guys are awesome." He started blushing, then held out his hand to Luna. "I think I'd better introduce myself. I'm Kade Lawrence, but you probably know me for "K". Glad to finally talk to you."

Luna was puzzled for a moment, until she got pale, totally amazed.

For almost a year, Luna received several romantic letters, flowers and even chocolates sent by a secret admirer, always signed by the mysterious "K". She tried to find out who was sending these things to her, but she never could figure out who seemed to admire her so much although keeping himself hidden. At least until now.

She shook the boy's hand and smiled, glad to finally meet her secret admirer.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, dude."

"It's my pleasure, Luna." This time it was Kade who was blushing.

They remained silent for a while, only staring shyly at each other.

Although she was curious to meet her secret admirer, Luna never expected to find him so suddenly, and even more dressed as a male version of her. Though she did not want to sound rude, she had to bring it up.

"So, you always dressed like that, or this has anything to do with me?" She smiled smugly, leaving Kade embarrassed.

"Well, I know it sounds a little disturbing, but it does. After the fourth presentation of Moonblast I thought that if I dressed like you, I could be as cool as you." Kade got even more embarrassed, and lowered his head, looking down at his feet. "But if that bothers you, I can change."

"This does not bother me. In fact, I even feel flattered. I mean, it's not every day that you find out that you inspires someone." Luna smiled sheepishly, and looked down too. "To be honest, I think you look really cool this way."

Once again they got silent, both embarrassed.

The tension between them grew every moment, so much so that they could no longer hear the bands performing at the restaurant. Each was focused on the sound of their heartbeats, which got faster and faster. Trying to avoid embarrassment, Kade tried to pull the subject.

"So, what happened to the others? For you do not play on a night like this, something must have happened. You did not eat at that French-Mex Buffet again, did you?"

"No, no. Ashley had a problem with her boyfriend, and the twins had to travel to a funeral, but they-" Suddenly Luna noticed something odd. "Wait, how do you know about the French-Mex Buffet?"

Kade blushed so hard he looked like a tomato.

Last summer, Luna and her friends went to Jean Juan's French-Mex Buffet, a restaurant nominated by Lori, who had a curious fusion cuisine and. They tried the Chile Con Escargots, which ruined their intestines. After hours in the bathroom, the four agreed to never eat again in mixed-food restaurants.

"Well... I kind of... in a not very conventional way... was watching you in the restaurant."

"So you're a stalker?" Luna asked suspiciously.

"No!" Kade held up his hands, trying to defend himself. "Seriously, it was just a coincidence. I was there with some friends, and I saw you walking into the restaurant. Other than that, I only saw you during Moonblast's performances, or when we were at the same concert."

"I can not say I'm comfortable with that, but I can not say I did not find it cute, either." Luna got up from the table and kissed Kade's cheek, then slipped a piece of paper into the pocket of his jacket. "I have to go, but I'm anxious to continue our conversation. See you around, K."

Luna left slowly, leaving the boy with a silly smile on his face. Kade took a dreamy look as he slowly placed a hand on his cheek, still wondering if it had been real. After a few minutes, he took the paper from his jacket pocket, and he vibrated with joy to see that Luna had given him her number.

After nearly a year of tickets and goodies, he finally came face-to-face with the girl of his dreams. Best of all, she did not turn him down.

At that moment, his cell vibrates in his pocket, and he goes to the back of the restaurant to answer.

"Hello?"

"Kade, where have you been? I've been trying to call you for a long time!

"Sorry dude, I was busy."

"What happened? Do not tell me you was stalking the Loud girl again."

"No, no. I finally got it. I saw her alone at a table and went to talk to her."

"What? I'm sorry she turned you down, but it's like I've said, she's way out of your league."

"That's not what happened, you jerk. We had an incredible time together, and she even gave me her number."

"Wow! For this I really didn't expected. I want to know the details later, but I want you in Jean Juan's now."

"What happened?"

"The lieutenant summoned all the soldiers of the Hellfire Club in New York. The White Queen believes the Masters of Evil will act behind her back and attack the Loud family in tomorrow's game, when them all will be out of their tower."

"I am on my way!"

In a way, he had not lied to Luna.

He really was with some "friends" when she entered the restaurant, he just did not tell that Jean Juan's was a disguise for the Hellfire Club headquarters.

Kade was off in the night, ready to meet his teammates. The boy could be a henchman of a mercenary group, but he had an almost noble task fixed on his mind. No matter how, he would not let anyone hurt his beloved Luna, even if he had to die for it.


I call this the end of the spring break because at the weekend there would be no class anyway.

With that, I end the shorts. Starting from next week, things will get more tense, and we will have the long-awaited revenge of Hugh and Chandler.

I wanted Kade to be a obsessed stalker, so I thought the best look for him would be akin to Luke's in One of the Boys, showing how much he worships Luna.

I know that after "L is for love" some shippings and fics have weakened, but I will not let this discourage me. Nothing against Sam, but I had already planned a complicated romance between Luna and a henchman from the beginning.
