The song recommendations are For Sale?(Interlude) by Kendrick Lamar and I Believe in a Thing Called Love by The Darkness
The sun was shining brightly on a Sunday morning for the citizens of Royals Woods. School had finally let out for the summer for all the students just two days ago. One particular band couldn't be more excited for their summer vacation since this means the beginning of their collab summer tour with the underground Hip-Hop/RB group, Sibling Rivalry.
The bandmates had decided to meet up at the Loud residence. Luna was inside the house getting everything ready. She had her clothes and equipment all packed up and ready to go. The family was standing around in the living room, waiting to bid her goodbye. Luna and Lynn Sr were walking down the steps with Luna's equipment and luggage.
"A-Are you s-sure you packed the bare essentials?" Lynn Sr struggled to ask in a worrisome tone as he carried Luna's amp down the steps.
"I packed everything I need, Popstar." Luna reassured as she stood at the bottom of the steps.
"You got your extra pair of clothes to last you the whole summer? Your toothbrush and toothpaste?" Lynn Sr inquired as he reached the bottom of the steps and put down the amp.
"Chillax, Daddio. I made sure I have everything." Luna said with confidence as Rita came closer to the rocker.
Lynn Sr leaned closer to the rockers ear. "Yo-… Your… s-special undergarments for your special night?" Lynn whispered causing Luna's face to go completely crimson.
"H-How did yo-… errgh… Luan!" Luna yelled at the comedienne.
"What? I didn't tell him anything. You were just very 'loud' when you were telling me about it. Hehehe, but seriously, you were talking too loud!" Luan said in a monotone.
"You kids keep forgetting how thin the walls are." Rita pointed out.
"Oh, geez. I keep forgetting about that." Luna groaned as she held her face in her hands. "So, you guys are down with this?"
"Of course, honey. We know you and Sam love each other enough to want to make such a big step in your relationship. We raised you well enough to trust you in making this decision." Rita stated with a warm smile as she placed a hand on the rocker's shoulder.
Luna grew slightly misty eyed at her mother's acceptance. "Thanks, Mom." Luna returned the smile.
"That and we knew there was no risk of you coming home pregn-oof." Lynn Sr received an elbow from Rita to the stomach. "I mean… we trust you, sweetheart." Lynn Sr gave a semi-fake smile. Luna rolled her eyes at the patriarch.
"Wait, what's this big decision that Luna's making with Sam? I didn't understand what she was saying to Luan when she was talking about it. Oooh, is she finally gonna propose?" Lola asked causing all the older kids and adults to give a nervous look.
"Uuhhh… Yeah, sure. That's what I'm gonna do, heh heh." Luna lied with a fake smile.
"I believe the actual activity our third eldest sibling is going to participate with her significant other is the most common act of couples known as coitu-"
"Okay, everyone. Time to say goodbye to Luna." Lynn Sr interrupted Lisa.
Everyone gathered around the pixie headed female.
"You totes have to bring me back something from your tour. Ooh, like maybe one of those tour bags Lori always talked about." Leni smiled.
"Um, I'll be sure to bring you back something pretty sweet, sis." Luna returned the smile.
"I still can't believe you're actually going on tour. I wished you could've convinced the band to let me join you." Luan pouted.
"Sorry, Lulu. Jackson really hates puns. He'd get tired of you on the first day." Luna pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I wouldn't want to 'pun-ish' his nerves. Hehehe, get it?" Luan joked.
"*sigh* I'm really gonna miss you, Lulu. Maybe not your jokes but definitely you." Luna hugged Luan. The comedienne returned the embrace. "I'm gonna miss all of you."
"We're gonna miss you too, Luna." The family gathered around and engulfed Luna in a group hug.
Luna and Lynn Sr made their way over to the garage. They had moved Luna's luggage and equipment to the front after opening it.
"Eerggh… an-... and here you go, honey." Lynn Sr put down the amp he was carrying . "Tha… that should be all of your equipment." Lynn Sr huffed as he clutched his knees.
Luna walked next to him, carrying her electric guitar, her suitcase, and her keyboard case. She laid them down right next to the patriarch.
"Thanks for helping me carry this stuff, pops."
"N… no problem, Lunes." Lynn Sr leaned up after finally catching his breath. "So, your band is gonna meet you here?"
"Yep, Sam and Ruth are walking here from their houses and George and Chunk are gonna drive the RV up here. Then we're driving to Great Lakes City to pick up the McBrides. I can't wait til we get on the road. This summer is gonna be so sick!" Luna exclaimed with her hands in the devil horns.
"And You're sure about taking this *gulp* big step with Sam?" Lynn Sr asked with a hint a concern.
"Very sure, Popstar. Sam means the entire world to me. I don't think I'll ever find any one as rockin' as she is. She just makes me feel like a completed symphony. I feel this is the perfect chance to deepen our bond. I would even give up my entire McSwagger collection if it meant being with her." Luna proclaimed.
"I'm just so glad you found that special someone in your life who means that much to you. I felt the same way about your mother. Our first time was like magic." Lynn Sr reminisced with a blissful smile on his face.
"Okay, Popcap, I really don't need to hear tha-oof." Luna was cut off by her dad pulling her into a hug.
"My baby girls gonna become a woman. I'm just so proud of you. Going on your first tour even. It's just… your growing up so fa-a-a-ast." Lynn Sr cried as he embraced the teen rocker in a tight hug.
"Alright… Dad. Can't… really… breathe." Luna struggled to speak causing Lynn Sr to let go.
"Sorry, honey. I just got a little emotional. I remember when I had to talk to Lori about the birds and the bees. It's so different with you since you and Sam can't-"
"Okay, Pops. I get the picture. I'll see you at the end of the summer." Luna shoved her father away from the garage. Lynn Sr got the message and started walking back to the house.
"Alright, have fun on your tour. Don't bring home any grandchildren. Ha ha ha." The father laughed as he entered the house.
"Heh heh, yeah, nice one dad. Real laugh riot." Luna said sarcastically. She made her way to the couch inside the garage and proceeded to plant herself on it. She began to twiddle her thumbs, waiting for the rest of her bandmates to arrive. The sounds of footsteps could be heard approaching the resident. She looked up to see Sam carrying her suitcase, two guitar cases and rolling around an amp.
"Sam!" Luna got up from the couch and walked over to her girlfriend.
Sam put her stuff down and opened her arms as Luna walked up to her. The couple embraced each other for few seconds before breaking away.
"So, are you as psyched as I'm about this tour?" Luna asked as she grabbed Sam's amp and started rolling it over to the garage.
"Totally. I can't wait to see all the cities, meet new people. Chunk said he made sure we're booked all over the country, right?" Sam inquired as she picked up her stuff and walked towards the garage.
"Yep. He told me that he got us booked out the wazoo. He didn't tell me all the gigs he got us because he wanted them to be a surprise, but he reassured me they're gonna be sick." Luna explained as she grabbed the rolling amp and walked with Sam. They put the stuff down near Luna's luggage.
"So, um… you really looking forward to… you know." Luna pointed back and forth between her and Sam.
Sam's face changed to a hint of red from that question. She looked down in slight embarrassment.
"I have been thinking about it a lot." Sam gave a shy smile as she rubbed her arm.
"Whoa, Sam. Let's save some of that for our special night." Luna ribbed.
"Shut up... I've only done it a few times to the thought of it. Besides, you've probably done it way more times than me." Sam accused with a smirk.
"Guilty as charged." Luna responded.
A second floor window to the house opened up as Luan popped her head out.
"Or discharged in this case. Hahaha." Luan quipped as she retreated back into the house.
"Ugh. I'm so glad I get to get away from those puns for a bit." Luna bemoaned.
"Yeah, but back to the subject. This special night has been on my mind since you told me about it. I keep getting nervous because it's such a big step in our relationship." Sam rubbed her arm.
"Hey, Hey. You know this is a step I only wanna take with you and only you. I love you more than anything. Hell, if I had to choose between tickets to a McSwagger concert and hanging out with you, I'd choose you hands down." Luna proclaimed.
"Aw, that's so sweet. You'd never give up a chance to see McSwagger." Sam said.
"Now, if they were V.I.P tickets, that's another story." Luna joked earning an unimpressed look from her girlfriend.
"Gee, thanks." Sam said sardonically.
"Kidding. Just kidding." Luna gave a nervous smile. "But anyway, that's why I want to do this with you. I wanna give you all my love. And this night will be the best ever if you just gimme all your love." Luna said as she held Sam close by grabbing her by the waist.
"I promise to give as much of me I can possibly give to you. I just hope this night can be perfect. I want to show you just how much you mean to me." Sam planting kisses on Luna's neck while giving a sly smile.
"Hey, since when did you start taking the lead?" Luna jokingly inquired.
"You're not the only one who gets to wear the pants in this relationship. I can be just as feisty as you." Sam stated with a devilish smirk.
"You wish! You still can't handle when I do this." Luna grabbed onto Sam's butt causing the blonde to yelp. Sam face grew crimson from the action.
"Okay, you're right, but just know..." Sam brought her mouth closer to Luna's ear. "I know some of your weaknesses too." Sam began nibbling on Luna's ear. The sensation sent shivers down Luna's body as her ear was being assaulted. Luna's face glowed a crimson hue as Sam's tongue joined in.
"Aaahh, Sam. Not there. You know that... ah, spot… mmh… drives me wild." Luna moaned as she writhed in pure pleasure, which earned a sly smile from the blonde. Sam held Luna in placed keeping her from backing away. The blonde soon found her hand beginning to slide up her girlfriends shirt.
"You two seem to be having fun." Ruth stated as she stood there, eating a bag of chips while her luggage was on the ground. Luna and Sam froze in place as they slowly turned to see their bandmate. Their faces grew completely red as they stared at the brunette.
"How long have you been standing there?" Luna asked as she and Sam quickly separated.
"Since you guys were talking about playing with yourselves." Ruth answered as she took a bite of a chip.
"So, you know about what we're planning on doing?" Sam inquired.
"Mm-hm. I won't tell anyone. I think it's cute you two are finally gonna play with each other's special places." Ruth complimented.
"Uh… thanks, dude." Luna gave a weird look to the drummer.
"By the way, where were you two planning to have your special night? I'm pretty sure the McBrides weren't gonna be okay with watching you two get down and dirty in a small RV." Ruth pointed out.
"We were gonna do it in one of the hotels we're gonna stay in." Sam answered.
"That's cool. I'll try to keep everyone from disturbing you. Just make sure you don't get too loud." Ruth winked.
"Thanks." Luna and Sam said simultaneously with a weirded out expression on their faces.
"So, how did it go when you had to say goodbye to your families?" Ruth asked to both Sam and Luna.
"My parents and little brother cried and wouldn't let go of me until I got out the front door. I know they love me but geez. Like give me my space, you know? Heh heh." Sam complained with a unconvincing smile.
"You miss'em already, don't you?" Luna asked with an unimpressed look.
"So-o-o-o mu-u-u-uch." Sam cried into Luna's shoulder. Luna began patting her girlfriend's back.
"So, what about you, Ruthless? How was it with your family when you left?" Luna asked.
"Oh, that's actually a funny story."
Ruth was in her home, carrying a suitcase and her drum kit and walking down the steps. She made her way to the front door as she passed the living room that contained her parents watching tv on the couch.
"Bye, I'm going on tour with a Hip-Hop group in a RV for the summer." Ruth walked out the door.
"Okay. Bring back some soup." Ruth's mother yelled.
" ...And that's the story." Ruth smiled at the couple as they looked dumbfounded.
"Your parents are way too lenient." Sam claimed.
"Eh, It pays to have cool parents." Ruth gave a smug smile.
"Yeah, well, sometimes parents can be too cool." Luna griped while folding her arms.
"What do you mean?" Ruth questioned.
"My parents know about our special night." Luna confessed.
"What!?" Sam exclaimed with a shocked expression while Ruth smiled.
"Yeah. They overheard me talking to Luan about it." Luna said.
"Oh, man. It's gonna be so embarrassing when I see them again." Sam bemoaned as she facepalmed.
"I'm just glad they're down with it, otherwise I'm doubtful I'd be able to go." Luna affirmed.
"I guess that's the one good thing with them knowing, but it's still gonna be so awkward." Sam admitted.
"See? That's why I don't tell people about my love life. Not even a lot of my close friends." Ruth claimed.
"Is that why George doesn't know about your crush on him?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, I don't get why you don't tell him you like him. He clearly likes you back." Sam pointed out.
"I want him to confess to me on his own. I want him to be confident enough show me how much he wants me." Ruth proclaimed.
"Eh, I can dig it." Luna agreed as an old beat up RV pulled up to the Loud house. The RV had rust patches all over it and was rattling as it came to a stop.
The window rolled down to reveal Chunk in the drivers seat.
"Eh! You blokes ready to get this party started?" Chunk yelled. He put the RV in park and turned it off. He got out of the vehicle to greet the ladies as they walked towards the vehicle.
"Yo, Chunk! What's happenin', man?" Luna greeted the British Man.
"Not much, love. Ah had to give this rust bucket some of the old Chester charm to get it workin'." Chunk claimed.
"It's not a rust bucket. It is a perfectly tuned piece of machinery." George claimed as he walked up to the group.
"More like piece of shit. No way is this thing getting us all the way around the country." Luna complained.
"Trust and believe, Lunes. This baby may look a little worn on the outside but it can get around. And just wait until you see the inside. You'll all be blown away." George smiled smugly.
"I'm sure the McBride's are gonna be blown by how crappy it is." Luna quipped.
"You know the McBrides are gonna roast you nonstop for how much of a piece of crap this thing is, right?" Sam asked.
"They're gonna roast him for what he has to say to them when we meet up." Ruth added with a smirk.
"Oh, geez. I forgot about that. Ruth, why did you suggest that?" George whined.
"Cuz it's always fun seeing you suffer, Georgie." Ruth rubbed the boys chin causing him to blush.
"Well, enough chit chat. We don't have time to just sit and talk about how screwed George is. We got a country to rock. Let's pack this thing up and go on tour." Luna said excitedly.
"Yeah! Let's do it." The group agreed as they began packing.
Three hours away in Great Lakes City. Sibling Rivalry was waiting in front of the Casagrande bodega with all their luggage and equipment. Their family and friends were with them, waiting to bid farewell.
"Alright, you got all your stuff packed? Nothing important is missing?" The Hip-Hop groups Mom, known as Jackie McBride, asked.
"We did, Ma." Jamie answered in a slightly irritated tone.
"Y'all made sure to pack clean underwear?" The groups father, known as Earl O'Neil, inquired.
"Yes, Earl. Geez, gotta jus' put our business all out there like that." James whined.
"What? Forgetting underwear is no laughing matter." Earl stated which made everyone roll their eyes.
"Okay, Dad. We made sure we packed everything we need. We got all our clothes, our phones with chargers, our equipment, and anything else that would be essential for this tour." Jazmine reassured.
"You made sure you got that cream for your rash?" Earl asked in a low tone.
"*Sigh* I'll be right back." Jazmine grumbled as she went back into the complex.
"You worry too much, Earl. These kids will be just fine so long as they brought my charm with them to ward off evil spirits." Rosa said.
"We did, Ms. Rosa." Jackson, Jamie, and James answered in irritated tones.
Frida took a flash picture of the group as they were putting their stuff down.
"Look at you guys. Going on such a big tour like a real music group. *sniff* You've all grown up so mu-u-u-u-ch." Frita broke down in tears.
"Now d-don't you start crying cuz then you'll make m-m-meeee-e-e-e-eeee. My baby's are growing up so fast." Jackie cried as she hugged Frida. Maria walked up to the two and started comforting them.
"Oh, geez." Ronnie Anne shook her head.
"Oh, lord now Mama's crying. When is the band getting here?" Jackson complained.
"Not fast enough, broham, not fast enough." Jamie bemoaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"You sure you don't want to come with us, baby?" James asked Carlota as he held her close.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I wouldn't be much help to you guys anyway." Carlota stated.
"You'd be helpful to me, for real. It's gon' be torture without you all summer." James said.
"I know but at least you got the outfits I made for you and everyone else. So, you'll have a little piece of me with you." Carlota gave a warm smile to her boyfriend.
"And plus, you can video chat sense you know… that's a thing." Jackson sardonically pointed out earning sore stares from the couple. "What? It's true. You-oh." Jackson felt someone hugging his legs. He looked down to see CJ with a sadden look planted on his face.
"I'm really gonna miss you guys. Who's gonna be my pirate crew?" CJ pleaded.
"Aww. We'll miss you too, sweetie." Jackson kneeled down to CJ's level. "Don't be so sad. We'll only be gone for the summer. It's just three months. Besides, I'm sure Carl would love to be a part of your crew." Jackson and CJ both looked at Carl.
"Uhh… yeah sure. I'll be a part of your crew, CJ." Carl gave begrudgingly fake smile.
"Yay. All summer long?" CJ asked as he let go of Jackson and jumped in enjoy.
"Sure thing, buddy." Carl smiled brightly with furrowed brows.
"Yay. Pirate brothers. Woo-hoo. We'll be the great scourges of the sea." CJ ran off shouting.
"You're gonna pay for that." Carl threatened.
"Grow a few inches taller, short stack, and we'll talk." Jackson dismissed the boy as he checked his nails.
Jazmine returned back outside just as, the RV could be seen pulling up to the apartment complex. Everyone looked on with disgust as it approached.
"Oh, that betta be some roughnecks about to go on a camping trip and not Luna and them cuz I'mma have a fit if we travelin' in that piece of shiiiiitake mushroom are good." Jamie corrected himself realizing that his Mom and Ms. Rosa were there.
"I'm pretty sure that's for us, sadly." Jackson said.
"Oh, god." Jamie facepalmed as the RV parked in front of them.
"Looks like something even a garbage dump would reject." Ronnie Anne joked.
"I've taught you well." Jamie said with a hint of pride.
Luna walked out of the vehicle with the rest of the band and Chunk getting out as well.
"Yo, What's happenin', dudes?" Luna greeted.
"Luna? What, in the scrap heap is too good for this thing, is this monstrosity you have insulted my eyes with? Like for real." Jamie questioned.
"Yeah, I wasn't too happy with it either. Don't worry the inside is a whole lot nicer than the outside." Luna affirmed.
"I hope so, cuz I'm not about to be getting rabies or whatever type infection that thing might be carrying." Jackson insulted which made George look down in disappointment as Ruth patted his shoulder.
"Well, you can blame this piece of heavy metal on George. Who, by the way, has been dying to meet you." Luna looked over to the depressed bandmate. "Hey, George! Come meet the group." Luna smiled devilishly.
George walked up to the group with a nervous expression planted on his face. Sweat began to pour down the side of his cheeks as he looked at all the faces staring at him.
"Oh, man and there had to be a bunch of witnesses." George thought to himself as he stood in front of the group.
"Hey, What's up, brother man?" Jamie greeted while holding his hand out.
"H-Hey, nice t-to finally m-meet you." George raised his hand shakingly. He grabbed onto Jamie's hand and shook it.
"You alright, dawg? You shaking worse than when our cousin sees Lori." Jamie asked.
George stared at the African American for a few seconds. "I-I like to… dance to your music in the nude."
Jamie jerked his hand back as everyone grew silent and stared at the nervous wreck of a bandmate. George closed his eyes and held his head down in shame as he walked away. Luna, Ruth, and Sam were holding their guts laughing at the situation.
"Bruh, you gon' be sleeping in the back corner as far away from us as possible. Type of mess is that? Come here bringing this crap shack and saying that? What's wrong with you?" Jamie expressed in disgust.
"Are y'all sure you're gonna be okay on this trip?" Jackie whispered to Jazmine.
"At this point, I'm not even sure, Mom." Jazmine answered.
Ruth walked up to the group and introduced herself.
"Hi, It's nice to meet you all. Don't worry about Georgie. He's ultimately harmless." Ruth explained.
"That's good to know cuz I swear I'd be sleeping with one eye open around him." Jamie claimed as Sam walked up to the group.
"Hi, I'm so happy I get to see you guys in person. I'm so glad we get to go on tour." Sam excitedly stated as she switched between shaking all the group's hand.
"I won't lie, I like that energy you got. I hope you can keep that going on stage." James said.
"Trust me, when I'm on stage things can get crazy. Especially when it's me and Luna." Sam gave a slick smile.
"Alright, I can dig it. I'm still hoping to hear you spit some fire on the mic." James said.
"You might wanna watch out then. When I spit I set the stage ablaze." Sam smirked.
The group all smiled at Sam.
"I like you. I think we might get along pretty well." Jackson said.
"Btw, I love your hair." Jazmine said as she walked off with Sam.
"Ooh, girl, yas! That hair is on point" Jackson joined them.
The group started gathering their things and loading them on to the RV. Luna made her way over to Lori who was standing next to Bobby.
"Luna! It's so nice to see you." Lori greeted her sister with a hug.
"Same to you too, Sis. How have things been up here?" Luna asked.
"Eh, Same old, Same old. I'm so glad the semester is over. I literally couldn't take another term paper. But enough about me, are you excited about this tour?" Lori asked.
"Totally, dude. This is gonna be so wicked." Luna urged Lori and Bobby to come in closer. The pixie cut rocker got closer to the couple while covering one side of her mouth. "It's also gonna be extra special cuz me and Sam are taking things to the next step." Luna spoke in a low tone while giving a wink.
"Gasp! You mean you two are gonna do the special tango?" Lori whispered.
"Mhm." Luna nodded.
"Congratulations, I'm glad you two signed up for dance lessons together." Bobby confused.
"Umm… that's not the dance we're gonna do, dude. We're gonna, uh… strum each other's guitars, you get me?" Luna asked.
"...Ohh, I get you. You've learned a new rock technique where you both hold up each other's guitars and play them?" Bobby bore an ignorant smile on his face as Lori and Luna facepalmed.
"They're gonna have sex, Bobby. Jesus! I don't know how you couldn't get that considering how much you and Lori do it." Jackson mocked as he appeared behind Luna.
"How would you know we do it?" Lori asked.
"Honey, just looking at two, I know y'all go at it like a pair of rabbits. Just as well there was that time Jamie walked in you two, twice. Good thing y'all use protection otherwise we'd be overrun with a bunch of mini-Bobby and Lori's." Jackson joked.
"Great, now he knows. Anyone else wanna get in on my love life?" Luna groaned.
"Eh, don't worry I won't tell. And I'll keep Jamie off your backs." Jackson said.
"Why would Jamie be on our backs?" Luna asked with a confused expression.
"Knowing Jamie, he'd keep y'all from doing it cuz he doesn't want to be around people when they're 'having relations'." When he walked in on James and Lota and Lori and Bobby, I'll tell you now, he was basically traumatized. He vowed to keep anybody from getting it on if ever he's around." Jackson explained.
"Oh, geez. Well, thanks for having our backs." Luna smiled.
"No prob, Cutie. Us tops gotta stick together." Jackson winked at the rocker.
"Well, I don't really know if I'm top or bottom yet but we'll see." Luna said.
"Trust me, you're a top. You look like you demand to be in control." Jackson pointed out.
"Huh, I guess I can't deny that." Luna accepted.
A few minutes passed and the RV was finally all packed up and ready to depart.
"Alright, you blokes. It's time we move out. We gotta hurry and get to your first gig fast." Chunk warned.
"So are you sure they'll be safe?" Jackie urged Chunk.
"Ma'am, I give my word, your children will be safe. This thing may look like a junka, but I promise nothing will happen to them." Chunk asserted as the rear bumper fell off. "I can fix that."
The Casagrande family with Lori and the McBride family gathered around the Hip-Hop group. Jackie gave a kiss to each of her kids.
"Y'all be safe, now. Don't go getting into trouble and don't go playing with plants that ain't messing with you." Jackie gave a glare to Jazmine.
"What? That plant looked so cute. Plus, it was blue. You know how I like blue." Jazmine defended.
"And that's how you got that rash." Jackie stated. She proceeded to give each one of her children a final kiss on the cheek goodbye. "I love you all."
"Be sure to bring back a bunch money-ow." Earl was elbowed in the side by Jackie. "Eh-heh, I mean, have fun. And remember not to sign any record deals. You know how they're a giant scam."
"We won't!" The Hip-Hop group said as they got into the RV.
"Well, sis, I'm off." Luna hugged Lori goodbye.
"Be safe. And don't go to any wild parties." Lori said as Luna broke the embrace.
"Can't make any promises." Luna stated as her and her band packed into the RV.
The music groups were all loaded in. Chunk started up the RV and began driving off. The families all waved goodbye to music groups as they began their journey.
"Wow, Luna, you were right it is a lot nicer inside than outside." Jazmine pointed out as she looked around.
"Told ya dude. And there's plenty of space to move around." Luna said.
"I'm just glad it has a shower and toilet cuz I tell you now I'm not gonna be sitting in y'all funkiness." Jazmine claimed.
"I mean, you the one that stunk up the bathroom that one time you tried one of Lori's kelp bars." James responded.
"Shut up." Jazmine exclaimed with a blush on her face.
"Alright, people. Enough shit talking." Jamie quipped with sly smirk.
"That was your one." Jackson threatened.
"Geez, thank goodness I didn't bring Luan along." Luna whispered to Sam who shook her head in agreement.
"Are y'all ready for the best summer tour to ever hit the nation?" Jamie got an excited look on his face.
"Yeah!" Everyone shouted in agreement.
"Can't wait to see all the sights." Sam said excitedly.
"Oh, man. I'm gonna eat every signature dish these cities have to offer." George proclaimed.
"Man, our first gig is gon' be the shit." James stated.
"Ooh, where do you think it's gonna be in?" Ruth asked.
"Prolly some fancy city. But first comes a sweet road trip, baby." Jamie exclaimed.
The RV came to stop in front of a small building complex.
"We're here!" Chunk said.
"What!?" Jamie gave a surprised expression.
"Yeah. I managed to book a gig at this one venue me and me mates played all the time. I thought it be a good place to start out." Chunk explained.
"Bruh! We're supposed to be on a road trip. Not much of a trip if we only got two feet away from where we started. Hell…" Jamie poked his head out the window and saw the Casagrande apartment complex was still in plain sight with everyone still outside. "...Our families are still waving at us."
"Good luck on your tour." Carlos shouted from the bodega.
"And just as well, why book a gig in our home city? We've played every major venue this city has to offer." James claimed.
"Not this place. This is an exclusive venue only those with a good connections can get into. You also need the right type of charm to be able to book a gig here." Chunk explained with a sly grin.
"Eh, it's no probs, bro. This can be our warm up." Luna said.
"I'm not too upset with this. This is a good place to start off." George agreed.
"Plus, it does give us a chance to get a feel of each others play styles and how we are on stage sooner rather than later." Sam pointed out.
"Y'all might want to watch out for me cuz my style can be too rough to handle." Jackson playfully stated.
"You 'bout as rough as a marshmallow. *sigh* Let's just get our stuff and set up." Jamie gave in as he helped gather the equipment.
"That's the spirit." Ruth encouraged.
And that's chapter two. Sorry this took so long. Had to make sure I got it how I wanted. I went with keeping Carlota out of the tour because she wouldn't be useful to the group as Meowloudly (Who's a good author by the way,you should check out their stuff) pointed out. They also pointed out that the McBride's aren't as easy to tell their personalities. I tried going a bit subtle with them as to not give too much away about them but the basic gist of them is James is more laid back and sort of the quiet one, Jamie is more lively and outspoken while his twin sister, Jazmine is a bit opposite to him by being more subdued, Jackson is sassy and a bit mischievous. Tell me what you think.
