Well this one didn't take long did it, lol. Yeah I knew this one would be to long so I decided to knock it out right away and I think I did pretty good. I hope you all enjoy.
Currently in the house of the Loud family, the houses resident musician was sitting on her bed simply strumming her signature purple guitar with a smile on her face. However one thing was on her mind. The Royal Woods Family Fun Fair.
Every summer the town would throw a giant fair where family could go to ride carnival rides. Play, most likely rigged, games. Eat delicious junk food. But the big event Luna was currently thinking of was the Talent Show. Where people would go up on stage and try their best to do whatever they have planned.
"I hope everyone will be up for my idea." Luna talked to herself. She was gonna ask her siblings if they all wanted to do a family band for it. Yeah almost none of them have any real musical talent, but that wasn't the point. She just wanted to have fun with her family and for them to have some fun as well. They needed it after everything that's just happened recently.
However Luna was then brought out of her thoughts when she heard her laptop that was next to her, start beeping. When she saw what it was about, she smiled brightly when seeing it was a skype video call from her girlfriend Sam.
Gently setting her guitar down on the bed, Luna laid down while putting the laptop in front of it before answering the call. She was quick to see her girlfriends face smiling at her and wave. "How's my little rock star doing?"
Luna blushed and gave a small smile at the nickname before looking back at Sam. "Doing good babe." Luna answered back, making Sam giggle. "Just getting ready for the Family Fun Fair tonight."
Sam perked up after hearing that. "Did your family agree to your band idea?" She asked eagerly.
"I was about to go ask them actually." Luna answered while pointing her thumb to the door of the room.
Sam 'ooooh' before nodding in understanding. "Well I really hope they'll go for it. It would be so cool to see!"
"Yeah, it would be totally wicked for me and the fam to rock that stage today." Luna said with excitement as she imagined her and her siblings each playing an instrument and just preforming together and having fun as a family.
"Yep…So Luna," Same began saying in a tone that made Luna's eyes widen. "I'm really starting to think we should tell the rest of your folks soon."
Luna looked down with a concerned look on her face. She really had been neglecting to tell her family about her relationship with Sam. Heck, she didn't even intend on telling Lincoln and Leni, that just kinda happened by accident. "Yeah, I guess we should huh?"
Sam gave Luna a comforting smile as she nodded. "How about we do it today at the fun fair?" The blond musician suggested.
"Huh?" Luna asked while lifting her head up a little.
"At the Family Fun Fair." Sam explained. "My brother has a dentist appointment today so I can't make it right away, but I should be there when the talent show begins. After you and your family finishes up, we can go up and tell them."
Luna rested her head on her arms as she hummed in thought. She should tell them. After everything they've been through in the last couple weeks alone, this wouldn't be much right? Just simply introduce Sam to everyone else and show them that Sam is the girl she is dating. The family knew that Lincoln is a transforming hero that is constantly in life threatening situations. If everyone is ok with that surely they would be ok with her being with Sam right?
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Luna nodded. "Alright. Let's do it." She said with confidence.
Sam gave Luna a sweet smile as she nodded herself. "Good girl." She said in a sweet tone making Luna blush again. "I'll see you later luv."
"See ya later luv." Luna said in a British accent making Sam giggle before she disconnected.
Luna then closed her laptop before getting off the bed. Her expression turned to one of nervousness for a bit, but the rocker shook her head and slapped her cheeks to get rid of that feeling. "Get it together Luna. You got a family to rock out with." Luna told herself before picking up her guitar and heading downstairs.
Once there, she saw all her siblings gathered in the living room all talking at once. Though it was hard to make a single thing out, she was able to get the gist of them discussing what they wanted to do for the family talent show.
Deciding to get everyone's attention, Luna quickly ran up to her room again and brought an amp down to the living room. Plugging it in and connecting it to her guitar, Luna strummed it. The loud noise got her siblings to stop arguing and turn their attention to Luna. "Dudes, I got the perfect idea for what we could do for the talent show. We should start a family band!" She told everyone excitedly.
All the Loud siblings were quiet for a second as they all blinked simultaneously before Lori spoke up. "But we literally have no musical talent." The oldest sibling pointed out.
"Yeah, I couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle. Hahahaha!" Luan joked as a rim shot was heard in the distance somehow.
However Luna was discouraged at all by her family's reason and simply encouraged them with a few words she knew by heart. "As my idol Mick Swagger says, rock and roll isn't about being the best. It's about having fun." She told her family, who started to brighten up and get into the idea. "NOW WHO'S READY TO HAVE FUN?!"
All of her siblings cheered at her words as they started to follow her outside.
Later, all the Loud kids were in the garage practicing their instruments. Luna was playing her guitar, Lori was playing the trumpet, Luan was playing her whoopee cushion, Lynn was playing the Tuba, Lincoln was playing a cello, Lucy was playing an organ, Lola was playing symbols, Lana was using paint cans and sticks a drum set, Lisa was on keyboard, and Lily was using her rattles while Leni was doing some vocal warm ups.
Naturally, all of them sounded absolutely awful together. But they didn't really about that. As the kids played together they all could help but smile and laugh. They were doing something as a family and they were just having plain simple fun.
Just then Lynn Sr came into the garage holding a rake and looked around frantically. "AGH! WHAT IS THAT HORRIFIC SOUND?!" The Loud father asked in torment. "Is the cat fighting with the possum again?"
"No dad, it's us." Lincoln answered while playing his cello. "We started a family band!"
Lynn Sr perked up at hearing this and dropped the rake he was holding. "Oh! You know your old man used to be in a band back in college. But it…ended in a…sour note."
"What happened?" Luan asked with a raised brow.
"Well, I played the cowbell but apparently they didn't think it was cool enough, so they…kicked me out." Lynn Sr explained as he lowered his head and he remembered everything that went on that day.
All of his kids looked at him with sympathy as they gave an. "Aaaaw…" At hearing the story of their dad.
"Well pop-star, you can be in our band!" Luna encouraged with a smile making Lynn Sr bring his head up.
"Wait, really?" He asked to make sure he heard that right. But after hearing the encouraging words of his kids, he couldn't help but grin and say, "Well…if you all insist…KA-BOW" Suddenly Lynn Sr ripped of his cloths to reveal his old band uniform…with the dance torn at his butt that allowed everyone to see his undies. However he was unaffected by this as he started to play the cowbell.
Meanwhile all the kids starred at him awkwardly as Lisa spoke up. "I sure hope that isn't contagious." The genius said as Lynn Sr continued to rock out to his own cowbell playing.
Meanwhile Luna snapped out of it as she pulled out some sheet music. "All right dudes, let's try busting out this jam." She announced to everyone getting their attention. "It's called Plastic Bag Blown Through The Gutter Of Life. Lyrics by Lucy," Lucy took small bow. "Music by yours truly. One, two! One, two, three, four!"
The kids and Lynn Sr all proceed to start playing their instruments again. But as they were playing, the family dog Charles came up to them and started howling. "Dudes! Charles wants to sing lead!" Luna said with a smile as she brought Charles up to the microphone.
But as the family was playing and enjoying themselves, Luna suddenly heard he phone ring. Putting Charles down as the dog continued howling into the mic, Luna looked at it and saw it was her roadie Chunk calling her.
Answering it, Luna held the phone up to her ear as Chunk spoke, but couldn't hear him due to the noise her family was making. "Yo, Chunk! What's that? I can't hear you! Hold on a sec!" She told him before turning to her family, she told them, "You guy keep practicing! And remember, it's not about being the best, it's all about having fun!"
Heading outside the garage, Luna smiled and held her phone to her ear again. "Ok Chunk, what's up dude?"
"Oy! Have you heard mate, Mick Swaggers in town!" Chunk told Luna, who proceeded to gasp very audibly. "He's gonna be scoutin for local talent at the Family Fun Fair!"
Luna was currently trying to get breathing back on track. Her idol, Mick Swagger himself, in Royal Woods looking for talent. "Mick…in town…" She said before she gave a 1000 watt smile. "This could be my big break!"
Just then Luna started to fantasize about going on tour with Mick. Mick introducing her as the greatest young talent he's ever meet and her rocking on stage in front of millions.
Shaking her head to get back into reality, Luna said, "Thanks for the call brah. I've got work to do." She then turned to the garage and saw her family still playing the loud lousy music, only this time Luna didn't seem too happy to see or hear it. "A lot of work."
Hanging up the phone, Luna walked back to the front of the garage and announced to everyone, "Okay people, from the top! This time we have to kick it up a notch."
However it was then that Leni spoke up. "Uh, Luna, what am I supposed to do? I don't have an instrument." She pointed out.
Luna was quickly to run over to Leni and hand her some sheet music. "Here, why don't you sing back up." Luna told her as she handed the paper to Leni.
Leni smiled and eagerly nodded. "Alright, just give me a second to do some vocal warm ups." She told Luna before proceeding to do said vocal warm ups to make sure her voice would be good.
Just then Lynn Sr came by stilling dancing and playing his cowbell. "Um…rockin dad, but could you dial it back just a bit?" Luna asked trying to sound as nice as possible to her dad.
Just then Lynn Jr tried to play her tuba only for no sound to come out. "Ugh, can't get this Tuba to work!" She complained.
Luna then comes in and grabs the Tuba and shook it and heard something rattling inside. Luna then blew in the Tuba hard and suddenly Geo in his signature ball came flying out and landed in one of the pipes on Lucy's organ.
When Lucy played the keys on her organ that corresponding to the pipe Geo landed in and launched the hamster out. Geo then proceeded to bonk Lori on the head causing the oldest sibling to drop the sheet music she was holding.
When she bent down to pick it back up, Luan squeezed her whoopee cushion to make a loud farting sound causing those around to laugh while Lori looked irritated at Luan. "Nice tootin sis!" Luan joked.
However Luna looked irritated herself and tried to get everyone's attention. "Guys, can we focus, please? We need to-" However as Luna was talking Lynn Sr came by again still playing his cowbell. "Dad! Dad!" Luna tried to call out.
However then she heard Lincoln playing on the cello and actually sounding pretty good as Luna gave him a thumbs up. "That's it bro! You got it!" She praised before going after he father again.
Lincoln smirked as he pulled out some sunglasses and put them on while started to spin his cello for a cool effect. However on the third spin, he put a little too much into it and it ended up spinning away from him. "Oops!" Lincoln said as he watched his cello plow over Lana's paint cans which proceeded to roll off and carry Lisa, Lola, and Lynn Jr off.
What resulted was all of the Loud sibling except for Luna to collide with each other and end up in a big pile.
Just then, Luna let out a growl of frustration as she walked over to the pile of siblings. "Dudes!" She suddenly yelled. "This is the worst rehearsal I have ever heard!"
"But…you said it doesn't matter if were good." Lincoln said in a confused tone, wondering what got into his normally chill sister.
"Forget what I said bro! Mick Swaggers gonna be at the show!" Luna told everyone who gasp at the information.
Just then Lynn Sr came up and finally stopped playing his cowbell and had growing excitement over the news Luna just told everyone. "Mick Swagger!? Sweet!" The father said excitedly as he started to play the cowbell again.
"No! It's not sweet!" Luna yelled at her father, who seemed oblivious to her words. "This is my chance to be discovered and you guys ARE MESSING IT UP!"
However Lynn Sr continued to play the cowbell and ignored Luna's words as the rocker tried to get his attention. "Dad. Dad! DAD!" It was then that Luna got extremely frustrated and…
"That's it. YOU…ARE OUT OF THE BAND!"
Suddenly those words echo through the garage as Lynn Sr drops his cowbell and starts running away with his head in his hands sobbing. Luna then turned back to see her siblings looking at her in disbelief. "What?" She said irritably.
"You literally just fired your own dad!" Lori pointed out while glaring at the 15-year-old.
"I'm not gonna let Captain Cowbell ruin my big chance." Luna pointed out as she started to pick up the sheet music off the ground. "Now, let's get back to work. We're gonna be here all day. So, if you guys have plans, cancel them. If you gotta pee, hold it. We really have to nail this!"
"What?! No way!" Lincoln said as all of her siblings get up and start calling out Luna on the way she was acting.
"All right. You're all out of my band!" Luna yelled at everyone as they crossed their arms and glared at her.
"No!" Lincoln yelled back. "You're out of our band!" Lincoln said as he caught a music sheet that was about to fall on his face. "Cause we're gonna play without you and we're gonna have fun!"
"Yeah!" Lana agreed. "And we'll pee whenever we want to!"
"Fine by me. You're all holding me back anyway." Luna told everyone as she started walking away. "And when I'm on tour with Mick, don't call me for tickets!" Luna then bent down to pick up her guitar only for Luan to squeeze her whoopee cushion for another fart gag making Luna growl at the prankster before picking up her guitar and leaving.
Luna was now sitting alone in her room with her guitar and trying, and failing to write a good enough song. "Who needs them anyway?" Luna tried to tell herself. "Not me. All I need is a new tune."
Luna then started to play her guitar and sing softly. "They don't understaaaaaaand. Girls gotta have a baaaaaand."
However Luna dislikes the lyrics and tone of the song and starts playing a more hardcore style. "Time for me to go solo. You know what they say. YOLO!"
After, immediately hearing what she sang, she groaned and laid back on her bed. "UGH!" She groaned loudly. "What are you thinking? This is more Mick! You just used the word YOLO!"
Next Luna switched to her keyboard and tried to at least find a good tune. "Nah. To pop-y." She said while playing a pop-tune. She then tried a lower tune and shook her head depressingly. "Nah. Too depressing." She then played a bit of a techno tune. "Nah. Too 90's! UGH!" She yelled as she threw her headphones off.
Just then she hears the sounds of music and laughter and looked outside and saw the rest of her siblings playing music together and laughing. Having fun. Closing the curtains and window so she wouldn't have to see it and hear, Luna laid down on the floor and put her autistic guitar on her body.
"I stink and can't write a single song…" she sung depressingly with a breaking voice. "Wow there's a big crack in the ceiling."
Luna suddenly felt the urge to cry, but she sniffled and managed to stop herself while sitting up as an idea came to mind. "Maybe I just need a change in scenery."
Luna was now sitting down at one of the table with plenty of paper and a pencil, still struggling to come up with a good song. Sighing again, Luna tore up her latest draft and through it behind her. But then she head a tiny splash and looked to see she had accidently threw it in the soup of a man wearing a trench coat, a big hat, and her had a big grey beard and sunglasses.
"Oh, sorry about that dude." Luna apologized as the stranger looked up at her.
"No worries." The stranger said in a British accent. "What are you writing?"
"It's supposed to be a song." Luna said as she held her head low. "But I'm wicked blocked."
"Maybe I can help." The stranger offered. "I've dabbled in music before. Have a seat."
Luna took the man's offer and sits down at his booth before picking up a fry and asking him, "You gonna finish that brah?"
"It's all yours." He said kindly as Luna ate the fry. "So, what's going on?"
"I really gotta kill it with this song. And everything I write is garbage." She explained to the stranger who listened closly. "I actually tried to rhyme with YOLO."
"Oooh…" The stranger cringed.
"I know right." She agreed before pointing to his soup bowl that still had the crumbled up paper in it. "You mind?"
The stranger then passed her the soup bowl as Luna started using a spoon to slurp it up with as the stranger asked, "So, what's so important about this song?"
"I'm supposed to perform at the Family Fun Fair Tonight, and Mick Swagger's gonna be there!" Luna told the stranger who softly nodded at hearing her words. "It's my only chance to impress him! So I gotta be at my very best!"
"Hm…" The stranger hummed and he lightly stroked his beard. "Wasn't it Mick Swagger who said Rock and Roll isn't about being the best, it's about having fun?"
"Yeah…" Luna said as she sunk into her seat and lowered her gaze to the floor.
"Well…when was the last time you had fun?" He asked.
Luna looked up as memories of her playing with her family instantly came into her head. Everyone simply playing, laughing, having fun. It was then Luna realized the huge mistake she made and quickly got up from the booth. "Dude! I gotta go!" She said before taking another fry and running off as the stranger nodded and smiled at her.
Later at the Family Fun Fair, it was filled with what one would expect from such an event. Family's all together, having fun, eating food, riding the rides and playing the games.
And currently with a certain Loud family, all but one sibling were gathered together next to the stage for the talent show with Rita taking pictures of them. "Ooh! Look at my little rock stars!" Rita said excitedly as she took a picture.
"My favorite genre is Death Metal." Lucy said in her usual monotone voice.
"SO CUTE!" Rita gushed.
However just then, Luna ran up to the group holding her purple guitar. "DUDES!" She called out to them. "Got room for one more?" She asked
However all of her siblings simply gave her blank looks, still unhappy with her from earlier. Meanwhile Lincoln crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at her. "What about impressing Mick?" Lincoln asked in an accusing tone. "We don't wanna hold you back."
"I'm sorry about all that stuff I said. I acted like a real bone head today." Luna admitted with a guilty tone and expression. "I forgot the one rule of Rock and Roll. It doesn't matter if you play my best Mick. All that matters if having fun. And the only time I have fun is doing it with you guys." Luna told them all. "So, what do you say? Will you take me back?"
Her siblings simply stared at her in silence for a moment, before giving her warm smiles and Lincoln putting a hand on her shoulder. "Heck yeah!" Lincoln encouraged making Luna brighten up. "It wouldn't be a family band without you."
"Grab some sheet music." Luan encouraged. And when Luna bent down to pick some up, the comedian used her whoopee cushion again for the fart gag, but this time everyone shared a good laugh at the joke.
But just then, Luna realized something. "Wait. It's not a family band yet. Where's dad?" Luna asked as she faced her mother.
"The place he always goes where he's sad." Rita explained. "The Whirl-n-Twirl."
Luna quickly ran over to the ride and saw her father riding it while still having his face buried in his hands. "DAD I'M SORRY!" Luna yelled as she waited for her father to spin back around again. "PLEASE COME BACK TO THE BAND…IT WON'T BE FUN…WITHOUT YOU!" She yelled in between moments of Lynn Sr spinning over to her.
"YOU MEAN IT?!" Lynn Sr yelled back as he came back around.
"YES!" Luna yelled back.
"OPERATOR! STOP THIS RIDE!" Lynn Sr told the man in charge of working the ride. The man obliged and stop the ride causing Lynn Sr to fly out and land on the ground. However this didn't affect him at all as the Loud father quickly got right back up. "APOLOGY ACCEPTED!" He yelled before revealing his band uniform again and pulling out his cowbell. "THE BELL IS BACK!"
Luna smiled at her father's enthusiasm and her ability to get him back on board and feeling better after her outburst at him earlier. Thinking of something, Luna walked over to her mother and pulled out a tambourine for her. "Mom, we're gonna need you too!"
"Oh, honey." Rita said, feeling rather flattered. "I don't know how to play."
"That ok mom." Lincoln reassured with his sisters nodding. "Neither do most of us."
"But we're gonna have fun!" Luna encouraged.
Rita simply smiled and shrugged and took the tambourine and started playing it while doing the exact same dance as her husband as he played the cowbell.
"Heaven help us. It is contagious." Lisa said in a frightened tone as she watched her parents shake their rumps.
Later, the entirely Loud family was up on stage rocking out using their respective instruments as Luna sang lead with Leni being her back up as they sang in unison. "Plastic bag blowing in the gutter! Lost and alone like toast without butter!"
It was then that Lincoln spoke up to Luna as he stepped playing the cello. "Luna! Take a solo!" The Omnitrix wielder encouraged.
"Yeah, but you're the one who knows how to play the best!" Lincoln encouraged further with the rest of her family nodding in unison.
Luna smiled and couldn't help but oblige as the rest of the family stopped playing and Luna did a knee slide to the front and did an amazing guitar solo that made everyone in the crowd cheer. Once she was done, Luna turned to her father. "Dad! Cowbell solo!"
"Seriously?!" Lynn Sr asked, never feeling more alive in his life. "I knew this day would come! Okay, here we go!" He said as he started to perform his solo with the crowd still cheering.
After the song was over, the family got off the stage as Luna took on second to sigh in satisfaction. However then she spotted the stranger she met at the diner smiling and clapping. Luna then got off the stage and walked towards the stranger. "Hey, mate!" He greeted the rocker. "You guys looked like you were having fun out there!"
"We were." Luna confirmed proudly.
"And you were brilliant!" He complimented. "You got some real talent."
"Thanks. And thanks for that little talk back at the diner. It really helped straighten me out. I was being horrible to my family, all to impress a guy who didn't even show up." She told him. Despite everyone, Mick Swagger didn't show up. Oh well, she had a great time with her family and that's what mattered.
"Oh I wouldn't say that…" The stranger said which made Luna raise a bow.
However just then, he lifted up his hat and pulled his, what turned out to be fake, beard down and revealed himself to be Mick Swagger himself.
Luna simply because starstruck as Mick put his disguise back on and all she could mutter was, "Muh-Muh-Muh-Muh-Muh…"
"Hey honey, I got us funnel cakes!" Lynn Sr said as he walked up to them holding two funnel cakes. He then noticed the disguised musician and asked, "Who's this?"
Mick pulled back his disguise again and said, "The names Mick Swagger mate! And you were great too!" He complimented. "I love that passion on the cowbell!"
Lynn Sr ended up getting into the same position as Luna as all he could mutter was, "Muh-Muh-Muh-Muh-Muh…"
Mick simply shrugged before putting his disguise back on, and right as he was about to walk off. "You gonna finish those?" He pointed to the funnel cakes. The two simply kept stammering in star struck as Mick simply shrugged and took them anyway. "Cheers mates!"
As the two kept stammering in starstruckness, suddenly the two heard a voice that made them snap out of it…
"Luna! You were great!"
Both snapped out of there shock from seeing Mick Swagger and looked to see what Luna knew was a familiar girl with blond hair and a blue streak in her hair.
Luna drew a sharp nervous breath from seeing her, but smiled and waved to her with a blush on her face. Lynn Sr looked at what happened with a raised brow and asked her 3rd oldest daughter, "Luna, do you know this girl?"
Taking another deep breath, Luna turned to her father. "Yeah, uh, dad about that. Could you gather everyone up please? I have something I need to tell you guys." She explained as Sam nodded approvingly and Lynn Sr raised an eyebrow, but nodded nonetheless.
A little later, Lynn Sr had gathered the rest of the family as Luna and Sam stood in front of them. Luna started to breathe nervously a little. But then Sam put a hand on Luna's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile and nod.
Getting a hang of herself, Luna took a deep breathe before facing her family. "So, dudes, I have something to tell you." Luna told everyone, getting all of their interest peaked. "So, you all know that I've been dating someone named Sam right?"
Everyone nodded in unison before Rita was the first to perk up and say. "Oh! Are we finally gonna get to meet him?" She asked, making the rest of the sisters asked that same question with excited smiles on their face.
However Leni simply looked to Luna and gave her a supportive smile and nod. This seemed to ease Luna a bit as she continued. "Well, yes. Everyone…" She then stepped to her right and gestured both her arms to Sam. "Everyone. Meet Sam Sharp…my girlfriend."
Everyone but Leni, went silent and wide eyed as Sam waved to everyone, starting to feel a tiny bit nervous herself. "Hi everyone. It's really nice to meet all of you."
Everyone was silent for a moment before Rita spoke up. "So Luna, how come you didn't tell us about this?" She questioned simply.
Luna took a deep breathe before explaining. "I was scared." She told everyone. "I was scarred what you might think of me dating another girl. I was scared you all would think I was disgusting…or shameful. But Sam just makes me so happy…and I can't stand the thought of not being with her. So…I just hope none of you think less of me for it."
Luna held her head down as Sam smiled warmly at her. Everything was silent as Luna was waiting for her family's response, and hesitantly, she looked up a bit and was surprised to see her whole family smiling warmly at her.
And just then, everyone pulled her into a family group hug.
"Luna, you literally should have told us how you felt about this." Lori said as she rubbed Luna's hair.
"Yeah, if Sam makes you happy, then she makes us happy." Luan supportive as Luna looked up at everyone.
"So you're all ok with this?" She asked for complete confirmation.
"Sweetie, of course we are." Lynn Sr said in a warm tone. "We want you kids to follow your dreams and goals so you can live a happy life. And if Sam makes you happy, then were perfectly fine with you being with her, regardless of if she's a girl or not."
Luna then gave a shaky smile as tears built up in her eyes. She then pulled herself deeper into the family hug. "You dudes are the best."
"Awww." Sam let out at seeing the scene in front of her. But just then, looking around, she saw a distinctive lack of white hair. "Hey Luna, where is your brother?"
Everyone's eyes widened as they pulled away from the hug to see that, indeed, Lincoln wasn't with them.
"Strange. Usually I'm the one disappearing." Lucy commented.
"Yeah, where'd he go?" Lynn Jr asked as she looked around.
"ATTENTION! CAN I GET EVERYONE ATTENTION PLEASE!?"
Just then the Louds and Sam, and everyone at the Fun Fair, stopped what they were doing and turned towards the source of the voice and saw…
"Uuuuh, why is Wendy wearing a suit and sunglasses?" Lana asked as Lola looked and rubbed her chin.
"No clue, but she makes it work." The pageant princess compliment.
"May I all present to you…" Wendy started to announce.
"ECHO AND THE ECHOS!"
"WHAAAAAT!?" The Loud family all let out as the curtain to the stage was lifted and revealed four Echo Echo's on stage with the first one holding a microphone, the second one holding a guitar, the third one holding a bass, and the fourth one on drums.
Everyone at the Fun Fair instantly crowded at the stage after seeing the alien hero, heroes? On stage as the one of drums clapped his sticks together and went, "A one, a two! A one, two, three, four!"
Echo Echo 1:
Echo and the Echo's…
Echo and the Echo's…
Echo and the Echo's…
Echo Echo 2:

Echo Echo 1:
Echo and the Echo's…
Echo Echo 3:

Echo Echo 2:

Echo Echo 4:

Echo Echo 1:

Echo Echo 2 & 3:

Echo Echo 1:

Echo and the Echo's!

Echo and the Echo's:

Echo Echo 1:

That's me!
Echo and the Echo's:

All the same GUUUUUUY!
All the same GUUUUUUY!
All the same GUUUUUUY!
All the same GUUUUUUY!
When the song was done, everyone in the crowd erupted with applause as the Echo Echo's all bowed as Wendy lowered the stage curtain.
Once it was closed, 3 of the Echo Echo's disappeared as the original was covered in a red flash and turned back to normal. Just then Wendy suddenly appeared behind him and pulled him into one of her signature hugs. "You were great!" She said.
"Thanks…" Lincoln managed to say through her tight grasp. Wendy then released Lincoln, and the two proceeded to share a laugh together.
Just then they heard someone clearing their throat, the two looked together to see the Loud family and Sam looking at him with crossed arms and smirks. "You little show stealer." Luna teased as Lincoln rubbed the back of his head.
"Ah, what can I say? I couldn't help myself." Lincoln admitted. Just then he noticed Sam and looked between her and his family. "So, do they know?"
"Yep." Sam said simply. "And they are totally cool with it."
Lincoln smiled widely at hearing that news. "Well that's good. About time you two told everyone." Lincoln said, making Luna and Sam blush a bit in embarrassment. "Oh, and Sam knows about the Omnitrix you guys."
"Yeah, she told us after we saw your little performance." Lynn Sr told him.
"HEY! WHERE'S MY DRUM SET?!"
Everyone's eyes widened as they heard that and looked behind the stage for the source of the voice and looked to see a number of people back stage looking like they lost something.
"Who took my bass?!"
"I can't find my piccolo!
"MY LUCKY TAMBOURINE! NOOOOOOO!"
As the family looked at everyone looking for their suddenly lost instruments, Luna's eye widened in horror as she looked at a particular spot. "OUR INSTRUMENTS WERE SWIPED TO DUDES!" Luna screamed as the rest of the family gasp.
Luna quickly ran over to the spot they put their instruments after they were done with their performance, was cleared. Including Luna's purple guitar. "No…that was my signature axe…" Luna said quietly as she suddenly buried her head into Sam's chest and cried softly while her girlfriend comforted her.
Lincoln then frowned as he turned to everyone. "No one makes my sister cry and gets away with it. I'm gonna find whoever stole all those instruments and take them down!"
"How are you gonna find them?" Sam asked as she held Luna close.
Lincoln held his chin in thought for a bit, and then snapped his fingers as an idea came to mind. "I got something. But why don't you all head home. You can all get to know Sam better while I get the instruments back."
Everyone looked to each other before Lynn Sr looked to Lincoln and nodded. "Alright son, we're leaving this to you."
"Good luck Lincoln." Wendy told him.
"Please, get my axe back bro." Luna said with Lincoln replying with a salute.
Later, Lincoln was walking through the Fun Fair, looking for anything suspicious. So far, he wasn't finding anything, but he wasn't about to give up, he just need to find something that could lead him to the thieves.
But just then, Lincoln saw something in the corner of his eye that made his head snapped in that direction. He saw a figure in a dark cloak walking in between the porta-potties. Looking around for anyone that could be watching him. Then, very quietly and carefully he began walking after the cloaked figure.
Once he went in between the portal potties, he followed the footprints the figure left. It was only about 5 minutes of walking until he stumbled into some kind of abandoned left that hade many holes in it that it made it difficult to determine where the actually entrance was.
Hearing some voice coming from inside, he peaked his head through one of the smaller tent holes…and deadpanned at who it was.
"Ok, ok, ok…let me get this straight. Of all the things you could have stolen from the Fun Fair…you two choose…instruments?" It was Chapple, and the rest of the Red and Blue gang.
"Ok…on hindsight that seems like a pretty bad idea…" Bucker said slowly.
"And in every other sight." Gruff added.
"Ok yes, instruments may not be the most valuable thing to steal, but you know what is?" Simon asked while holding a large burlap sack.
"Please, do enlighten us." Commander said in an uninterested tone.
"But bright lights hurt my eyes!" Engine pointed out in his usual stupid tone.
"Yeah, and I don't have my tanning oil!" Bagel added making Chapel groan.
"It's a figure of speech morons!" Chapple yelled at the pair.
Just then, Simon set the burlap sack and down and opened it up to reveal…
"AH! WHERE THE BLOODY HELL AM I?!" Mick Swagger yelled as his head was freed from the sack.
"Wait hold on…is that Mick Freaking Swagger?" Gruff asked in surprise.
"Yep, saw him eating some funnel cake where wearing a fake beard and just grabbed him." Simon explained. "It was easier than I thought it would be."
"I just don't get how you saw through my brilliant disguise." Mick Swagger said as he tried to struggle free.
"The fact that you had the same voice has Mick Swagger, the same hair color, and your beard had a tag that said 'The Fake Beard Emporium' kinda set off a few alarms." Simon said sarcastically as Mick Swagger stopped.
"Huh…" Mick Swagger said in realization that maybe his disguise wasn't as brilliant as he thought it was.
"Well I'll be, kidnapping a celebrity will definitely get our name out there." Chapple pointed out while starring down at Mick.
"Simon, I will say this, I am impressed with your villainous deeds." Commander said as Simon did a quiet squeal.
'Holy crap, actual praise. Respond appropriately.' Simon thought to himself before responding. "Thanks I did it myself." He said. 'Dang it!
"Indeed. Good man Simon." Commander responded.
'…Just take it.'
"So can I have his auto-graph?" Bagel asked.
"NO!" Everyone but Engine yelled.
"What about the crystal man? Can he have an auto-graph?" Engine asked as everyone turned to him.
"Crystal man?" Bucker asked in confusion. "What are you talking aboooooouuuuut…"
However everyone then turned to the entrance to see Diamondhead glaring at everyone. "Ah, crud…" Chapple said.
"It's him! It's the alien kid!" Simon yelled in a panicked tone. "We're dead! We are dead! All dead! All gonna die! Dead. Men. Be. We! A cornucopia of pain and despair is coming out way to ensure our demise! We are SO Going to Die-e-e-e…"
"Can someone please slap him?" Diamondhead deadpanned
"Dibs!" Gruff yelled before smacking Simon.
"Ow!"
"Thank you." Diamondhead said before narrowing his eyes at the group. "So I assume you know why I'm here?"
"…The Family Fun Fair?" Engine asked honestly making Diamondhead sigh as he formed a crystal ball in his hands and throwing it full force at Buckers head.
"Ah! Cheap shot!" Bucker yelled before falling unconscious.
"Alright you diamonized bugger, eat led!" Commander yelled before shooting his shot gun at Diamondhead. However Diamondhead simply yawned as the bullets deflected off his body until Commander was out of ammo. "Huh, it would appear bullets have no effect on diamond skin…go figure." Commander realized before Diamondhead punched the ground and made a crystal spire come out of the ground and uppercut Commander.
"Commander no!" Bagel yelled before charging at Diamondhead. "I will avenge yoooooou!"
However Bagel charged Diamondhead simply moved one step to the left and raised his left arm leaving for Bagel to charge head first into it and fall back first onto the ground. "At what point did you think that was going to work?" Diamondhead asked as Bagel mumbled some unintelligible things before blacking out.
"Ha! Got you!" Chapple yelled as he suddenly jumped in front of Diamondhead with a machine gun and proceeds to fire rapidly until he finally ran out of bullets and…
"H-h-h-h…HOW?!" Diamondhead yelled as literally every single bullet missed him. "I'M LIKE THREE FEET IN FRONT OF YOU?! HOW DID YOU MISS ME!?"
"Uh-well…I…I" Chapple tried to say before sighing and lowering his head. "You know what, just knock me out so I can get this over with."
Diamondhead simply shook his head before simply jack slapping Chapple unconscious.
Meanwhile Engine was simply looking at everything while talking in his head. 'If I'm gonna help my friends, I'm gonna have to stratergize.' He thought. 'I know! I'll give him a distraction!'
"Hey! Look behind you!" Engine yelled, getting Diamondheads attention. "It's Simon with a bazooka!"
"Huh?" Diamondhead then looked behind him to see that Simon was trying to load a Bazooka. "Well I'll be, thanks for the heads up!" Diamondhead then fired crystal shards out of his palm and used them to pin Simon to the ground.
"ENGINE! WHAT THE HELL?!" Simon yelled as he tried to break free from the restraints, but to no avail.
"Oh, I am become error." Engine said, realizing his mistake.
"So, you wanna try anything?" Diamondhead challenged as he formed his right arm to a blade.
"…Blarrrgh." Engine said as he suddenly fell to the ground limp.
"Uuuuh…ok then." Diamondhead said before walking over to the bag Mick Swagger as in and cutting him free. "You alright Mr. Swagger?"
"Yep, and I gotta say mate that was some show!" Mick complimented as Diamondhead helped him up.
"Well I am to please." The hero said before posing heroically.
"Well, if there's anything I can do for ya, just ask mate." Mick offered him.
Diamondhead hummed for a bit before looking at the pile of stolen instruments and seeing Luna's guitar in front. Diamondhead then walked over to it and picked it up before presenting it to Mick. "I happened to know who this guitar belongs to and it would happen that she's a huge fan of hers. Would you mind signing it for her?"
"Ha, always thinking of other ay mate." Mick said in approval as he took out a black permanent marker and signing his name on the guitar's front. "There ya go. And leave the rest of this to me. I'll call the cops and they'll return the instruments and lock these hooligans up."
"Thanks, Mick, you have a good day." Diamondhead waved bye as he started walking away.
'Man, those guys just get dumber and dumber don't they?'
'No kidding…oh! Ra'ad! How are you doing? What happened to you after Lynn tore the faceplate off?'
'Oh gosh it was horrible. Our mental link was separated and on top of all that I was stuck in a limbo of psychedelic colors! Everything was constantly spinning! And my voice was echoing when I tried to talk!'
'So…you were high?'
'Yes, but without any of the enjoyment!'
'Oooook then. Let's just go home.'
At the Loud House, the Loud family were all gather in the living room with Luna sitting on Sam's lap and Wendy sitting on the chair of the couch.
"Don't worry luv, I'm sure he'll get it back." Sam reassured her girlfriend.
"Yeah, Lincoln always finds a way." Wendy added in.
"I know dudes, I'm just…" But before Luna could finish, suddenly the door opened up and revealed Lincoln hiding something behind his back.
"Did someone lose a guitar?" Lincoln asked with a grin as he held out Luna's purple guitar.
Luna let out a happy gasp as she quickly got up and took the guitar from Lincoln. "Dude! Thank you so much!" Luna said happily as she hugged it.
"There's a little more than that." Lincoln pointed out as Luna looked at him with a raised brow. "Look at the front."
Luna then looked at the front of the guitar and let out a high pitched squeal at what she saw. "Dude…is this…"
"Mick Swaggers autograph?" Lincoln finished for her. "Yep. I, uh, ran into him and got him to sign it for you."
Just then Lincoln was pulled into a hug that nearly broke his spine as Luna then showered his face with butterfly kisses all over. Lincoln tried to protest but couldn't find the breath to say anything over the bone breaking hug.
Meanwhile everyone else simply watched the scene and lightly laughed as another summer event came to a conclusion.
This was a fun chapter to do. Short, sweet, simple. The rest of the family now know about Sam, and don't point out they already knew in the show. This is my story and I do what I want with it. So yeah not really much to say here. So I'll simply leave you with this...
Stay tuned for the next chapter where we return to Great Lakes City with...
"Carlota's Pet."
