A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter five of this story. Here, Luna and the others go to Saginaw.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
The week flew by as Luna and her band prepared for their opening performance in Saginaw. Luna was thrilled and eagerly anticipated the trip. Luna told her family explaining the saw the group preforming in a video. The others where thrilled, except for Luan who was unsure. As Luna prepared to leave, her sister/roommate walked over to her.
"Hey Luna, can we talk?" asked Luan.
"Sure." answered Luna.
The two sat on Luan's bed.
"What's up?" asked Luna.
Luan took a deep breath.
"Look, I'm worried." began Luan.
"Oh come on." sighed Luna annoyed.
"I know you're tired of hearing this..." began Luan.
"Yup." confirmed Luan.
"I'm your sister and I want you to be safe." said Luan.
"I get it." admitted Luna.
"I know you can handle yourself." said Luan.
"Exactly." confirmed Luna.
"But, I just can't help shake that feelings something is wrong." replied Luan.
"Look, you're in the entertainment business like too." noted Luna.
"But, comedy doesn't have the seedy reputation rock music does." said Luan.
"What does that mean?" asked Luna offended.
"It's just...the rock industry has a reputation for drug and alcohol use. Not to mention rampant sex." answered Luan.
Luna jumped to her feet.
"Look, I don't want you slandering the name of rock! And if you can't trust me that's your problem!" declared Luna.
Luna stormed off with her guitar.
"Wait!" cried Luan.
"Wank off!" snapped Luna.
Luna left and waited outside. Eventually, Chunk arrived and and she drove off with him. Chunk then picked up the four teenagers and headed to Saginaw. As they drove in Chunk's van, Luna vented about Luan. George and Ruth fairly balanced in their response while Sam was more supportive of Luna. They arrived at Saginaw Valley State University where the show was being held. The Harvey Randall Wickes Memorial Stadium where the stage was. They went backstage where The Michigan Dogmen where.
"Hey! There they are!" declared Brandon.
"Hi!" called Luna happily.
The two bands met.
"I'm glad you guys mad it." said Brandon.
"Wouldn't miss this for the world!" declared Luna.
"We had to cancel another gig for this." noted Sam.
"Oh, what was that?" asked Brandon.
"A birthday party." answered Luna.
"You made the right choice." cooed Brandon.
"Well, we would have loved to preform at that party." replied Sam.
"But, the chance for such a big break was too good to pass up." said Luna quickly.
"I've never seen Luna act this cold." thought Sam.
"Damn right it is." said Brandon.
"He doesn't seem to be much better." thought Sam concerned.
"So...how did you land this gig?" asked George curious.
"Our manager set it up." answered Brandon surprised.
"How'd you get it here?" asked Ruth.
"We're kinda a big deal." answered Brandon cocky.
"I notice you talk for the group." mused Sam.
"We decided I'm the spokesman." stated Brandon.
The others nodded their agreement.
"Everyone agrees." shrugged Brandon.
"We gotta get ready." noted Luna.
"See ya." said Brandon halfhearted.
The show proved to be a hit. Luna and company where popular with the crowd even getting an encore. Chunk came out to perform during this last song. Brandon sat back impressed with Luna. The Michigan Dogmen went out and got deafening cheers just coming out. They performed and got a standing ovation. They had two encores and nearly had a third, but the university forced them to end it so the field would be ready for the next day. The two bands went over two a nearby motel to have an after party.
"That was awesome!" declared Luna.
"I can't believe we got an ovation." said Sam amazed.
"You guys where great." agreed Chunk.
"Glad you got to perform." said Ruth.
"I owe ya." replied Chunk.
"No problem." said Luna.
"This whole night has been great." sighed George.
"Totally." agreed Sam happily.
"Not only did I get to share it with my band mates..." began Luna.
Luna put her hand on Sam's.
"Plus my girl." added Luna.
"Awe." cooed Sam.
The two lovers shared a kiss.
"We're gonna be soarin'." said George.
"This could be our big break." said Ruth.
The five all agreed.
"I wish my family could be here." sighed Luna.
"Why couldn't they make it?" asked Chunk curious.
"Between the show and trip, it'll be too far." answered Luna.
"Right. You've got a baby sister." noted Sam.
"Plus Lisa is only four...even if she's a genius." shrugged Luna.
A man clearing his voice got their attention.
"Hey Luna, can we talk in the next room?" asked Brandon.
Luna jumped to her feet.
"Sure." answered Luna excited.
The two slipped away to the next room.
"You're pretty bitching." said Brandon.
"Thanks." replied Luna grateful.
"I mean it." said Brandon.
"I'm really grateful." said Luna.
"The crowd loved you guys." noted Brandon.
Luna felt pride at this.
"You even got an ovation." added Brandon.
"Well.." began Luna smiling.
Brandon smirked a bit.
"Hey, I'm gonna grab a beer. You want one?" asked Brandon.
Luna gulped nervously.
"I don't know..." began Luna.
Luna rubbed the back of her neck.
"I know I should But, I don't want to look like a wuss." thought Luna unsure.
"So..." began Brandon.
Luna took a deep breath knowing part of her would regret this.
"Yeah. I'll take one." answered Luna.
"There's the right answer." laughed Brandon.
Brandon left to grab the beer.
"I should do this. I'm only fifteen." noted Luna.
Luna began tap her right index finger on her leg.
"But, I'm a rockstar and booze comes with the life." countered Luna.
Luna bit her lower lip.
"Plus, I don't want Brandon to look down on me." added Luna.
Brandon then returned with the alcohol.
"I scored a six pack." noted Brandon.
Brandon helped up the six pack of Bud Lite.
"Great!" declared Luna, with fake enthusiasm.
Brandon pulled one of the beer cans out of the pack.
"Here ya go.' said Brandon.
Brandon handed the can to Luna who accepted.
"I'm doing this." thought Luna uneasy.
Brandon cracked the beer can open.
"Cheers!" declared Brandon.
"Cheers!" declared Luna.
The two began drinking and talking. By the time they reached their final beer, Luna was drunk.
"Oh man, beer is awesome." said Luna slurred.
Brandon smirked knowing Luna was drunk.
"Hey Luna, how close are you to your band mates?" asked Brandon.
"They're awesome." answered Luna slurring.
"Luna...your talented." began Brandon.
"Thanks." replied Luna grateful.
"I just don't want someone as good as you being dragged down." continued Brandon.
"I don't understand." said Luna confused.
"You're great, but I feel like your band mates are beneath you." explained Brandon.
Luna gasped in surprise.
"You got a big ovation out there." noted Brandon.
Brandon bit her lower lip.
"Almost stole out fucking thunder." muttered Brandon angrily.
Brandon shook his head.
"If you stick with this, then you'll be rivals of ours." said Brandon.
Luna didn't think of this.
"But, we could be friends." proposed Luna.
"Not in the cutthroat business of music." shrugged Brandon.
Luna looked at her beer.
"Consider joining us." stated Brandon.
Luna sank in her chair and drank her beer.
"Whoa." said Luna exasperated.
Luna leaned back.
"You're too good to be dragged down by those guys." stated Brandon.
"They're my friends." noted Luna.
Luna looked at her can of beer.
"Not to mention Sam's my girlfriend." added Luna worried.
"I didn't know you where a lesbian." mused Brandon.
"Bisexual to precise." corrected Luna.
Brandon rolled his eyes.
"I can't just abandon them." said Luna.
"Musicians switch bands all the time." countered Brandon.
"True." admitted Luna.
"I hate to crush you." replied Brandon.
"What?" asked Luna surprised.
"I said that I'd hate to compete with you." answered Luna.
Luna took a drink of her beer.
"I don't know." said Luna unsure.
"Luna!" called Sam,
"Oh shit." gasped Luna.
Luna quickly pounded her beer.
"Just think about it." requested Brandon.
Luna tossed her empty beer can aside.
"I will." whispered Luna.
"Luna!" called Sam.
Luna got up and left.
"There you are." said Sam.
Sam informed Luna that it was time to go. The two met with the others and together they band left in Chunk's van. Chunk and the other three band mates noticed Luna was off. They wanted to question her, but she was not able to respond. George and Ruth assumed she was tired, but Sam and Chunk weren't so sure. Eventually, everyone was dropped off at home with Luna being the last. She staggered through the door and up the stairs nearly falling down. She entered her room and struggled to climb the stairs.
"Luna, is that you?" asked Luan groggily.
"I...need help..going up...the stairs." answered Luna slurring.
The Loud family comedian jumped out of bed alerted.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Luan.
"I'm fine." answered Luna slurring.
"You're acting like you had a stroke." stated Luan worried.
"I'm only...fifteen." noted Luna.
"I know something is wrong." stated Luan.
"It's...cool." hiccuped Luan.
Luan got a whiff of Luna's brother.
"You've had alcohol." said Luan.
"I..." began Luna.
Luna fell over and fell asleep.
"Oh Luna." said Luan worried.
Luan put Luna in her bed at the bottom bunk and slept in her beanbag chair.
A/N: That's where we'll end this chapter. So it seems peer pressure is having its toll on Luna. Next time, Luan and Sam question Luna. Please review.
