Spells and Louds
Chapter 66: Typical Day
Neil with Lincoln and Linka are busy in the backyard with some wood project together.
Gwen with Lily are taking Courage to the vet for a checkup.
Luna is with Sam after band practice, both of them are having lunch at Seven Eleven.
Leni is in the mall with her job at Reiningers.
Sunset is with her Canterlot high friends at FutureTech helping Twilight with her levitation powers.
Timmy is hanging out with Rusty, Liam, Zach, Stella, Clyde and Tabby at the arcade.
Leon and Sergei are at an auction for engine materials?
And now we're going to check on Neil, Lincoln and Linka.
"I hope Courage will like this" said Linka as she measures a long piece of wood. "I'm sure he will like it" replied Lincoln.
"This was your plan after all" said Neil as he saws off a plank. Absol is there as well helping them set up the small house and Gabite is helping cut some of the wood.
Lincoln then looks back at the blue prints. "This is really well thought out, you must've spent all night with this" said Lincoln who then picks up a bucket of paint.
"Well, not all night. I actually had the idea after our encounter with those villains" said Linka. "Then when I saw the farm house he used to live in, I was inspired" replied Linka.
Neil then places the cut pieces of wood onto the ground. "I'm headed inside to make some sandwiches. What do you guys want in your sandwiches?" asked Neil.
"Peanut butter and Jelly please" said Linka. "I'll take the same" said Lincoln. "Coming right up" replied Neil. He then heads back inside to the kitchen.
Lincoln starts stirring the paint to make it less lumpy, while Linka puts the pieces of wood together and nails some of them.
"I wonder how Courage is doing with his medical checkup?" asked Absol. "I hope he's not too scared" replied Linka.
(Royal Woods Vet)
Gwen and Lily are both in the waiting room reading a book about a lost baby whale.
Just then the doors open and Courage comes out with the British Vet. "So, how is he doc?" asked Gwen.
"Well, I am pretty shocked at this dog and his color, but I guess I've seen stranger pets. He's very cooperative, he didn't seem too scared, unlike some animals" said the Veterinarian. "He has no medical problems of any sorts, though he has some very strong vocal cords. Either way, he's pretty much a healthy, pink, two-leg walking beagle".
Gwen looks to Courage and ruffles his head. "That's good to know. Thanks doc" said Gwen.
"No problem" then the Doctor realizes something. "By the way, this is a letter from my nephew. He wants Lincoln Loud to open this" said the Veterinarian. "He says he knows Lincoln".
Gwen was a bit confused by this. But she takes the letter. "Who's your nephew?" asked Gwen.
"Hugh Kirshen. He's my nephew who graduated from College and now he's going to be a teacher for FutureTech University. He said he once tutored Lincoln and he doesn't want to go back to the loud House again for some reason" replied Doctor Edmund Kirshen.
"Okay doc, I'll make sure my son gets this" replied Gwen. They then leave the vet together and head into Gwen's black Mustang.
"So, where should we go for lunch?" asked Gwen. "Courage starts speaking in gibberish as usual. But judging by his weird ability to change into something. "McDonald's it is then" replied Gwen.
"Maybe we should bring home something for the others too" said Gwen. Lily and Courage cheers in response.
(Seven Eleven)
Luna and Sam exit the convenient store with some sandwiches in hand.
"I'm so glad you're okay. It must've been brutal fighting that Queen Lady" said Sam.
"Sure was Sammy, I realized she was using the melted ice as her way to attack us. So I had no choice but to bring out good old Lucius" said Luna.
"Lucius?" asked Sam. "The Demon Crown. Since calling it Demon crown or Legion crown is way too long to say, I thought he could use a name, so why not Lucius and it turns out he was okay with it" replied Luna.
"It does sound kinda cool" said Sam. Just then they both hear a woman screaming. Luna and Sam head to the sound and sneak around the alley.
There they spot a woman being held at gun point by a middle-aged fat man.
"Give me the purse lady!" said the robber. The woman hands him the purse, but he sees that it was empty. "Is this a joke?!" but before he could say anything the man is hit by pepper spray.
He screams in pain and starts shooting, luckily his shots miss. But the woman was still in danger and the man was still holding her arm.
Before Luna could do something, Sam grabs a trash can lid and throws it to the robber. The lid hits his hadn making him let go of the woman. it then ricochets off the wall and knocks his gun off.
Luna runs forward and punches the man square in the face, knocking him out cold.
Sam approaches the woman, but then she grabs Sam and the gun and points it to her head.
"Not so fast Frost!" said the woman. "What the heck?!" yelled Sam. "What the bloody hell are you doing?!" yelled Luna.
"I know who you are. You're the heroine who put my brother in jail!" said the woman.
Luna was confused by this. "Don't play dumb with me! Remember the TV station incident?" said the woman.
Then Luna remembers now. The day she fought the four men in the TV station, then Lincoln came in with his bike and helped her fight them. That was the day they're hero lives began.
"So what? This is some kind of revenge to you?!" said Luna.
"The names Leslie Seers, my brother is Elliot Seers. You and your brother are the ones who made my life miserable!" yells Leslie.
"How is this our fault?!" yelled Luna. "After you arrested my brother and his friends, I had to live on my own. I couldn't pay for rent, I had no other place to go and no one would hire me because they all suspected that I was the one who orchestrated the attack. Well guess what, I was the one who orchestrated the attack. You can say I'm the boss!" said Leslie.
Luna and Sam were shocked by this. She was the criminal mastermind. It explained why Malcolm had a robotic arm.
"So, you were the one who wanted to kill me?!" said Luna in anger. "That's right punk! Though I have to thank you, that man was my new partner and he was about to double cross me" said Leslie.
"You better let her go now?!" said Luna. "I'm not letting go shit! You better do as I say or you're little freak girlfriend here gets it!" yelled Leslie.
Luna had no choice but to put her hands in the air. Then Luna smiles. "What are you smiling about?" asked Leslie.
"Lucius" replied Luna. "What?" but before anything else was said, the demonic crown 'Lucius' stabs itself to Leslie's back. She screams in pain and let's go of the gun and Sam.
Sam picks up the gun and points it to Leslie. But Luna charges forward and punches Leslie several times on the ground.
Lucius and Sam see this and had to get her off. "Luna stop! She's down!" said Sam as she removes an angry Luna away.
Leslie was now out cold. "Sorry Sammy. I just didn't want anything to happen to you" said Luna who is hugging Sam.
Sam returns the hug. "It's okay, we're safe now" replied Sam. "Hey. What happened here?" asked two officers who arrive.
Luna and Sam tell them of what happened. Lucius uses his magic to reveal a magical image of the whole scene from Luna's memory.
This was a whole new case for the police. They take the man and Leslie away, Luna and Sam needed to head back to Spellman estate and tell the others what they found out.
(Royal Woods Mall)
Leni and Fiona are both folding clothes. Fiona checks her watch. "It' almost lunch time. We should probably go and get Miguel" said Fiona.
"Yeah. Then we can all decide where to go for lunch" replied Leni. The two girls fold the last clothing and head off to the cashier counter.
Though Miguel was nowhere in sight. "Huh, I wonder where he is?" asked Leni. They then spot Miguel talking o Ms. Carmichael about something important, Miguel also shows her his cellphone.
They see the sad look Ms. Carmichael had. They then walk back to they're work. Leni and Fiona approach him.
"Miguel? What's wrong?" asked Fiona. "You don't look so happy?" asked Leni.
"What were you and Miss C talking about?" asked Fiona. Miguel sighed. "I just got a text from my dad that …. My grandma and grandpa passed away earlier in their house" said Miguel in sadness.
This was a hurting moment for the girls. "Oh my gosh Miguel, I'm so sorry for your loss" said Leni.
Miguel wipes a tear from his eye. "It's okay you guys. The funeral doesn't start till next week Friday. She said she's going to give me a whole week off to grief about it" replied Miguel.
"I just can't believe they're gone, they were the ones who were so kind and less spoiling to me. My grandma showed me pictures of her when she was once an exercise couch. That's why I'm also a part time yoga instructor" said Miguel. "My grandpa told me of his career in a fashion company and showed me how to innovate with some clothes".
Leni and Fiona then hugged Miguel, he returns the hug as well. Then Jackie and Mandee arrive. "Hey guys, it's almost your break time. How about we go grab some lunch?!" said Jackie with cheer.
"Then we can show you guys the new shoes we got" said Mandee with excitement.
But they're cheery attitudes soon change to confused when they see Leni, Fiona and Miguel hug for comfort.
"Umm. What the heck is going on?" said Jackie. "Did we miss something here?" said Mandee.
(FutureTech HQ)
Susnet and her Canterlot high friends are inside the warehouse of the base helping Twilight with her powers.
"Okay Twi. Let's see if you can levitate the tires into a pillar" said Sunset.
Twilight looks at the tires. "Okay, I can do this!" said Twilight. She points her hands to the tires and focuses and with full concentration she forms them into a pillar.
"Well I'll be, you did it Twi" said Applejack. "Nice!" said Rainbow Dash.
In truth it's not all of the Rainbooms. Just Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Thanks guys. That was pretty tough" said Twilight as she wipes the sweat from her brow.
"By the way why didn't Pinkie, Rarity or Fluttershy show up?" asked Sunset.
"Fluttershy said she had to go and help the animal shelter with some new stray dogs" said Rainbow Dash.
"Pinkie Pie is at her diner job" said Applejack. "And Rarity is making a new dress line for her store" said Rainbow Dash.
"I guess they're all busy. I don't really mind, it's nice to have some support here" said Twilight.
Then Spike comes in with a tablet in his mouth. Twilight sees this and picks it up from Spike.
"Thanks Spike" said Twilight. "Martin wanted me to bring it to you, he's busy in his office" said Spike.
Twilight checks on the tablet and sees what is on. Turns out Martin left an unsolved equation challenge for Twilight to figure out.
"Whoa! This is unbelievable! He made a challenge for me to solve, this must be the project FutureTech University is doing. Giving they're students mystery challenges to solve" said Twilight.
She then looks to her friends who were smiling. "Sorry girls. We'll have to practice my powers next time. I really have to do this" said Twilight.
"It's cool. You go do your math thing" said Rainbow Dash. "I'll bring these two back home" replied Susnet. "At least I can head back home and get started on my noon chores early" said Applejack.
The three girls exit FutureTech and walk back to Spellman Estate.
"So, what's this we heard about you and you're gaming channel?" said Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah. We heard about it, we just never got a chance to see it. Even Pinkie is curious" said Applejack.
"Well, it's just me doing some live stream gaming with my family, sometimes I get Victor involved. It gets funny on some occasions, though the video is rated mature since sometimes my dad and the other grown-ups end up cursing" said Sunset.
"Yeesh! Must be pretty intense if they yell like that" said Rainbow Dash.
"Well, it does get funny on most time. Just wait for my warning at the beginning of the video" replied Sunset.
"We'll be sure to tell the others about that" said Applejack. "Also what happened to you and the others during Saturday? I heard from Twilight that there was a battle in front of your house".
"Let's just say, it's one heck of a long story" replied Sunset. "Also what's happening back in Canterlot?"
"Let's just say, we're planning on a little oceanic trip" said Applejack. "And it's gonna be a long story too" said Rainbow Dash.
(Gus's Games and Grub)
Timmy along with Lincoln's friends are now eating pizza for lunch.
"You sure know how to win at these games Timmy" said Zach. "Thanks. I've had some experience before, though I don't know why I can't beat Lincoln" said Timmy.
"Maybe it's because he's played here a lot of times before and has become a master at it" replied Liam.
"He's got a point. I still remember" said Clyde.
"I really like hanging with you guys. I don't really hang out much with my classmates" said Timmy.
"Some of them not too friendly or are they just chumming up to ya because you're family are heroes?' said Liam.
"Well, neither. They're just occupied with whatever they're planning for next grade" said Timmy.
"Well that's a real shame mate. Maybe you'll find a good friend there" said Tabby.
"In the meantime, you can hang out with us when Lincoln can't" said Rusty.
"Thanks guys. And I'm also gonna guess you guys are doing this to make up for all the times you guys bail on Lincoln or just be friends with him for his planning skills" said Timmy.
"Wow. He catches up fast" said Zach. "It is true, Lincoln is pretty much the smartest when we were all one big posse" said Liam.
"He helped make the snake formation improve" said Rusty.
"He has a cool plan when I have problems" said Clyde.
"He has good advice at most times, heck even better than ours" said Liam.
"He even knows how to help us with our homework when we forgot" said Zach.
"Wow. You mates really are that dependent on him" said Tabby. "Yeah, and to be honest, we feel bad when we do it" said Liam.
"We really wanna make it up to him, especially me" said Clyde. "Having a date that makes you forget about your crush on Lori is already one step there" said Timmy.
"He's got a point man" replied Zach. "By the way, where the heck is Stella?" asked Tabby.
Just then they all got a text message from her.
"Sorry guys, couldn't come. Me and my rents and grandma are on a road trip to Grand Venture Falls. I'll see you guys at school tomorrow".
"Well, that answers it" said Rusty. "You guys wanna go another round of gaming?" asked Liam.
"Heck yeah!" they all cheer.
(Somewhere in Royal Woods. At an Auction)
Leon and Sergei exit the auction house with a wagon of vehicle and engine parts.
"Not much of a good steal, but this stuff will have to do" said Leon.
"Let's hope some of this will go well with the Tiger's components" said Sergei. "Still who in the heck bought that heavy rig engine anyway?"
On the far side of the parking lot. Lynn Sr and Lynn Jr helps load the heavy rig engine into vanzilla.
"Man, this thing is heavy!" said Lynn Sr. "Are you kidding me dad. Felt like a challenge for me" said Lynn Jr.
"I can't wait to see how this thing works. And maybe I can use the parts to help improve Vanzilla and Veronica or the lawnmower and the washing machine" replied Lana.
(Spellman Estate)
Gwen's mustang, Leni's Ford Edsel (she picked up Sunset and her friends on the way), Timmy on his Poof scooter and Luna riding an ice road make it back home.
"Boy do I have a story for all of you" they all say in unison. They all stop and look at each other.
"Guess we all had our day's made today" said Gwen. "Well, we better get going" said Rainbow. "We'll see you later Sunset" said Applejack. The two of them enter the great gate to they're world.
"See you guys around" replied Sunset. "Come on dudes! Let's head inside and tell each other what happened to us" said Luna.
They all enter the house, but they notice Neil, Lincoln and Linka weren't inside. "Harv, where are the others?" asked Leni.
"Neil, Lincoln and Linka are in the backyard. They have a surprise for you" replied Harv. They all have confused looks and head to the backyard.
They arrive and spot Neil cleaning up some of the tools, Lincoln and Linka standing next to the cloth covered object and Gabite and Absol fast asleep under a tree.
"Hey, you guys made it back home" said Neil. Lincoln and Linka also notice them.
Courage runs towards Linka and jumps into her arms. "Looks like you were okay at the Vet" said Linka.
"He has no medical conditions whatsoever" replied Gwen. "Also the doctor wanted me to give this to you" she hands Lincoln the letter.
Lincoln took the letter. "I think you should open it later" said Gwen. "That sounds like a good idea. Now should we show them" said Lincoln. Neil and Linka smile and nod.
Linka and Lincoln stand next to the cloth covered object.
"When everyone else was busy with their own thing. Linka conjured up an idea that would be a welcome home gift for Courage" said Neil.
"Actually it's more like a late welcome home gift" said Lincoln.
Linka looks at Courage and smiles. "No, it's a welcome to the family gift".
Linka and Lincoln remove the cloth and reveal a dog house for Courage. But this was no ordinary dog house.
All of them gasp at how it looks. To Courage it was a heartwarming moment.
The dog hose is a smaller version of the farm house he once lived in.
The roof was more like the farm house's roof. Same with the walls and windows. The door entrance had a screen just like the old farm house. Inside it was quite roomy for Courage, there are pictures of his new family and what looks like a salvaged portrait of Eustace and Muriel.
Courage looks at Linka. "Two days ago, I asked Martin to bring me back to Nowhere and help me look for something. And I found this picture of your owners, their wedding photo" said Linka.
"So that you will never forget the memories of the people who took care of you, who are also the people you protected. To keep they're memory alive" said Linka.
Courage didn't know what to say. So he just hugged Linka tightly and cried. Linka hugs him back and smiles.
"We even let Harv get installed into the dog house as well. So you can have a computer to talk to" said Neil.
"We found the old computer that was your friend. Martin said that he was badly damaged and the fire burned off many of his parts. He was unsalvageable" said Linka.
Courage was sad to hear this. But he was okay with Harv being part of the dog house, it was like his old computer friend, only less mean.
Courage started speaking in his language. "Thanks you guys. This means a lot and I know Muriel and Eustace would be happy with the new family I have" said Courage.
'I still have no clue what the heck is he saying' Neil says in his thoughts. 'It's still a shame, we have no clue who his real parents are or even know if they're still alive'.
Then Linka showed him the small flower she found at the farm house, she decided to have be planted next to the dog house.
Courage immediately recognized it. "Could it be". The flower looked just like the flower from the tree that granted wishes. Courage smiled, he knew it would grow soon and he would have one last friend that survived be part of his new life.
(Nighttime)
Lincoln sits in the living room alone. All of his siblings are either off to bed or still chatting on they're phones.
Lincoln opens the letter and reads it, it was from his old tutor Hugh. His eyes go wide and his mouth agape. "No way!"
To be continued …
I would like to thank Czar Joseph for the idea of the Dog House for Courage, the others were just me improvising. Also it is still unknown to all of them that they don't know who Courage's parents are or if they're still alive, even Courage doesn't know, so I just left that as a mystery. Do hope you all liked this chapter and what was in that letter from Hugh? Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
