(Here's the second chapter!)
A Couple Weeks later…
Luna got braver, building up her courage (with Lincoln's help) to eventually ask Sam to meet her behind the school. Sam also sent Luna letters back, but she didn't know that Luna was the one sending her these letters. It was cold on that fateful day Luna decided to confess, so Luna was dressed in her winter clothes.
As soon as the bell rang, Luna dashed out the door so she could meet Sam, who was waiting for her outside. But she didn't get very far, as the Principal showed up and intercepted her.
"Luna Loud!" Luna stopped in her tracks and she turned and walked to Principal Huggins.
"No running in the halls?" Luna asked, expecting the usual lecture.
"That as well, but I wanted to ask you a favor." Principal Huggins said as Luna looked at the clock behind him desperately. She specifically asked Sam to meet her after the bell rang, but she was 2 minutes late, and it looked like it was going to snow soon.
'Please hurry up!' Luna thought.
"Since our Winter Assembly regarding the dance is coming up, I wanted you to perform the National Anthem and provide the background music for the various skits happening on stage. The Student Council will give you the sheet music and you're welcome to have other members of your band friends join you. What do you say?"
Luna didn't hesitate to say yes. "Of course I'll do it!"
"That's the spirit! Now go get the sheet music and practice when you get home!"
Luna nodded as she speed walk to the Student Council room. She knew some of the members of the student council, but most of them thought they were too good for the job. The leader was alright, and he smiled when Luna approached the door.
"There is our very own talented musician! Here's the sheet music!" Wilson gave her the sheet music. Luna smiled at the music and waved at the others who were hanging out in the room as well.
"I'll practice!" Luna promised as she glanced at the clock. 5 minutes late! Luna ran towards the doors to the back of the school. She asked Lincoln to cover her, and he agreed. And the excuse he gave was that Luna was practicing with her band, which his sisters accepted quickly.
Sam was shivering as she waited for her secret admirer. The letters she was given often had sweet words and nice feelings for her. She figured that the person was close to her, as the deliverer noticed her earrings, dyed hair, and musical talent. Sam smiled as she remembered the last letter that was recently sent.
"I have known you for awhile now. You're just the kindest person and I enjoy listening to you practice your music. I hope you can accept for me for who I am.."
Sam pondered that last line, and wondered what it possibly meant, when Luna showed up. Luna was out of breath, managing to dodge a detention by saying she had to practice for the school assembly.
"Luna?" "S Sorry for being late! I was just stopped in the hallway for running.." Luna ran out of breath as she rambled out her explanation.
Sam looked at Luna curiously and that's when she realized that Luna was the one that sent her all those letters.
"Luna, you're the one that's been writing me those sweet letters?"
"That's me, love." Luna confirmed with her British accent. Sam smiled at Luna.
"I didn't know you felt that way about me. I mean, my ex-boyfriend was so awful to me and I didn't want to be involved in another relationship.. Until I got these beautiful letters full of heart and emotions. Thank you for that." Sam faintly blushed as she smiled at Luna, who seemed pleased that Sam wasn't rejecting her.
"Does this mean.. You accept my love confession?"
"It may take some time, but I know I'll warm up to the idea."
The two girls shared a hug and smiled at each other.
"Why don't we go to my place? I just got hot chocolate and marshmallows yesterday and my parents want to meet you." Sam offered as they started walking to her house.
"I'd love to! I already told my little bro to cover for me, so I'm good!" Luna grinned faintly blushing.
Lincoln was hanging out in his bedroom, just doing the usual reading of comics in his underwear when Clyde called him up on the walkie talkie.
"This is One Eyed Jack, calling Ace Savvy, over?"
Lincoln picked up the walkie talkie on his dresser and talked back to Clyde smiling.
"This is Ace Savvy at your service."
"I just got news that a dance is coming up? Maybe you can help me and Lori get together for the dance?! Oh sweet Lori, when will she realize how much I love her?"
As Clyde was going on about how much Lori meant to him, Lincoln winced. Yes, Clyde was always like that, but Lincoln didn't really mind until that one time Lori hung out with Clyde all day when he and Bobby were at the amusement park. Lincoln felt really bad for doing that, but everything worked out in the end. Besides, could he tell Clyde Luna's secret?
"Uh, hate to break up the usual Lori talk, I just want to tell you something important." Clyde perked up.
"Anything. I'm great at keeping secrets!"
Lincoln took a deep breath and listened for anyone who could overhear this conversation. Lori was talking to Bobby on her phone, probably racking up the phone bill. Leni was wondering if it was possible to watch language. Luna wasn't home, obviously. Luan was practicing for her comedy act she had the honor of doing for the Winter Assembly. Lynn was playing outside with her new basketball and shouting "Three points!" every time she made a shot. Lucy was most likely performing a séance in her room with no one to stop her. Lana was fixing the toilet. (Again.) Lola was in her pink jeep, crashing into the usual obstacle course of their hallway.. Oh, and Lily was sleeping.
"Clyde, Luna is bisexual."
There was a slight pause on the end of Clyde's end of the walkie talkie, and Lincoln knew he couldn't take that back. He braced himself.
"That's amazing Lincoln!" Clyde sounded genuinely happy, so Lincoln let out a sigh of relief.
"It is, huh? I never knew that for the longest time until she told me a couple of weeks ago."
"Yeah, my dads could probably give her advice if she needs it."
"I think she'll be open to the idea." Lincoln smiled as he and Clyde started talking about how they would help and defend Luna if anything.
"Thanks for the offer."
"No problem. Hey, just let me know when you want to hang out. I think snow is coming soon!"
"Then we can ride down the tallest hill in Royal Woods!" They both cheered before bidding each other goodbye. Lincoln got dressed in his usual attire because it got cold all of a sudden in the house.
Just as he opened the door, all of his sisters were outside waiting for him.
"How could you keep a secret like this from us for this long?!"
