Spells and Louds
Chapter 181: Shock and Awe
(Spellman Estate)
Luna, Sam and the Dazzles are in the music recording studio listening to some songs that Luna and Sam have made.
The Dazzles remove the headsets.
"So, what did you guys think?" asked Luna.
"I gotta say, that Christmas song made it kinda sweet and very exciting too" said Adagio.
"That Classic Cuphead song was so awesome!" said Sonata.
"I like the one with Leon and Dana, really matched them" replied Aria.
Sam chuckles. "Well, I'm glad you girls liked them. We were hoping that one day you guys can be able to sing here."
Adagio smirks. "As much fun as it sounds, we'd rather stick to performing gigs on stage, than record our songs. But you guys do make a good point."
"If the audience loves the songs we perform on stage, maybe we can be able to sell on the record market and junk!" said Sonata.
"And then we can show the world that we are changed and then we can show the other earth that our songs are cool" said Aria.
"Now that is the musical spirit I like to see dudes!" said Luna.
"We just have to wait once your first gig is done" said Sam. "And see what the crowd's reaction is."
They all high five each other.
Then Peter comes down the stairs. "I thought I'd find you girls here, I got you girls a gig and it starts tomorrow night."
"What?" the dazzles said in shock.
"Whoa! That was fast!" said Luna.
"Where's their first gig dad?" asked Sam.
"The location is in Pittsburg, a friend of mine wants to see if they are as good as I told him. and if this works out, then he will spread the word to other places about, The Dazzles!" said Peter.
The dazzles hug Peter. "Thank you dad!"
Peter smiles and hugs them back.
Then the Dazzles look to Sam.
"This isn't making you upset is it?" asked Sonata.
Sam shakes her head. "Not at all sis, I may love making and performing songs. But I think I already found my true calling with my team."
Luna also leans next to Sam. "Same here dudes, I always wanted to be a world famous Rockstar. But after some not so cool events, I found out who I truly am. Music is just my hobby now, like what my teacher said."
The Dazzle smiled, Luna and Sam are both understating thanks to their share and love for music.
"So, how long will we be gone?" asked Aria.
"We leave tonight and will be back home by tomorrow night. You girls still have school on Monday, I talked to the principal of Royal Woods high and they will allow you girls to be part of the school year, the you gotta attend the next school year" replied Peter.
For once, this was the one time they were excited to go to school. But as students and not energy sucking sirens.
They then head out of the room, leaving Luna and Sam to come up with some new songs for another musical gathering.
They head out of the room and basement and see Sunset making some sandwiches with Gwen.
"Hey girls" said Sunset. "Have fun at your first gig and don't freak out. Stay calm."
The Dazzles chuckled.
"We got this Sunset" replied Adagio. But then one thing was on the minds of each Dazzle as they grab a sandwich.
"Do you're …. Canterlot friends know …. About us being here?" asked Aria.
"What about the princess of Magic? Did you tell her yet?" asked Sonata.
Sunset sighed. "I didn't tell them yet, I have to wait for the right time or when you guys think you're ready to face them. In the meantime, go and enjoy what this new life has for you."
"If they don't understand that you girl have changed, then we will show them how much you girls have changed" said Gwen.
"And that's the truth. We all have each other's backs" replied Peter.
The Dazzles smile and head out of the house with their dad and into the RV and they drive off, it seems that Peter already had their things packed. Which meant that Sam and Ember will be the only ones at home.
(Spellman Estate, Backyard)
Neil, Lincoln, Linka and Courage are hard at work with some wood and paint.
Washington and Victoria watch as they all are hard at work.
"What do you think they're making?" asked Victoria.
"I have no clue, but it seems like they're building it next to Courage's dog house" replied Washington.
"You think it's a small house for us?" asked Victoria as she places her paw on Washington's paw.
"It probably is, but let's not spoil what their surprise is just yet" replied Washington.
"Yeah, we still have another surprise coming, soon" said Victoria.
Washington smiles and kisses her cheek. "And I can't wait for that surprise to come."
Both of them felt proud that they were gonna be parents, good thing marriage is not a custom to animals.
The two pets head back inside the house and they pass by Absol who was coming out along with Sunset and Gwen with sandwiches and sodas.
"Hey guys! Time for a break!" said Sunset.
"We got sandwiches and sodas" said Gwen.
Neil, Lincoln, Linka and Courage all stop with what they were doing and eat some lunch.
"You think Wash and Vic will love the small pet house we made for them?" asked Linka.
"I'm sure sis. But it will only be sued when it's spring or summer, once it's winter they're staying indoors with all of us" replied Lincoln.
"We are on a roll with this small house and with Courage's help. We can double our effort" replied Neil.
Courage nods in response.
Then Sunset gets an idea. "How about tomorrow we can all take a break from doing this. I am planning on one of my game streams for this New Year or rather yet new month. I could use some help in Minecraft."
Lincoln and Linka smile.
"That sounds like a good idea" said Lincoln.
"Sure. I'm in" replied Linka.
"Sure why not" replied Neil.
They then look to courage. "I think you should take a break too boy, you've been doing so much to help our new family members get used to this place. You deserve a break Courage" said Linka.
Courage smiles and nods.
"I still don't understand how we're gonna be able to know what Courage is saying" said Neil.
"Same, Hollow is the only one who could understand what animals are thinking" said Lincoln.
"Sure wish Hollow was here so you guys can understand me" said Courage in his language. 'And maybe I can ask him to help find out if my parents are alive or not.'
They all continue eating their lunch.
"By the way, what's the big gift you have for Sergei and Leon on March?" asked Gwen.
"That my love is a secret only when it's time" replied Neil.
"Oh come on!" they all complained, but Neil just chuckled.
"By the way, Jordan's parents have come home today" said Lincoln.
"Well, Jesse missed out on the baby shower" said Gwen.
"And Rick missed out on the big guy-to-father talk we had, but they did have to make their anniversary trip. It's just as important as family" said Neil.
Lincoln and Linka look to their parents. "When's you're wedding anniversary mom and dad?"
Neil and Gwen look at each other. Normally they wouldn't reveal the date to anyone, but these were their kids. "May 4."
Lincoln and Linka had no clue what to think of that date and it does sound familiar.
(Royal Woods Ketchum Park)
Sergei and Loona are walking around and taking a look at all of the snow that is suddenly disappearing.
"Looks like winter will be gone soon" said Loona.
"True, but the cold breeze still lingers" replied Sergei.
Then they both spot Leni with Roselia fighting Lynn Jr and Tyrogue.
"Looks like a Pokemon battle is in motion." Wanna watch?" said Sergei.
"Yeah sure" replied Loona.
They both find a place to sit, which is by some benches. Braviary also joins them.
They also see some other people watching the fight at some other benches and with some wild Pokemon watching as well.
They could see Timmy, Luan, Lola, Lana, Lisa, Lucy, Lori, Jordan, Leon, Dana, Becky, Teri, Chaz, Jackie, Mandee, Fiona, Miguel, Darcy, Clyde, Penelope, Rusty, Stella, Zach, Liam, Tabby, Margo, Polly, Haiku, Giggles, Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Joy, Cookie, Pyrrha and Gyro.
"Looks like we're not the only ones here" said Loona.
"Now that is a lot of people" replied Sergei.
The battle ended with Leni and Roselia. Thankfully Lynn and Tyrogue were being good sports and respected Leni and Roselia.
The next fight was gonna be Jordan and Lopunny vs Luan and Mime Junior.
"This isn't gonna go well" said Sergei.
"What do you mean?" asked Sergei.
"Well, you see Mime Junior maybe small, but the little guy can pack a punch since he can mimic moves" replied Sergei.
"Ouch! Looks like little Rosato isn't gonna have this fight easy" replied Loona.
"Let's see how she gets out of this mess." Said Sergei.
Jordan starts it off with close combat.
But Mime Junior dodges and uses focus blast.
Lopunny tries ice beam but Mime Junior uses mimic.
Lopunny stands fast and uses agility, but as she tries to go in for a focus punch.
Lopunny is stopped in place by an invisible mirror. Mime Junior has learned a new move.
Then she starts to glow, Luan and everyone else is shocked and coming out of the glow was, Mr. Mime!
"Yes! Now that's what I'm miming about! Hahaha! Get it!" said Luan.
"You gotta be kidding me!" said Jordan.
Throughout the fight, Lopunny ah a hard time trying to beat Mr. Mime, the Jordan has an idea and she calls out to Lopunny. "Lopunny! Are you ready for this?!"
Lopunny understands what Jordan means and nods in agreement.
Jordan smiles and she starts doing some graceful fighting moves and so does Lopunny.
Jordan's keystone bracelet glows and so does Lopunny's evolution stone collar.
Key stone hear our aura!
The beauty we see is not from the outside.
But we see true beauty within.
With true grace and great tenacity!
Now Megavolve!
Lopunny starts to glow and soon her ears grow longer, she has more puffs of fur her colors almost swap with each other and she was now Mega Lopunny.
They all gasp in shock.
"Did not expect that to happen" said Sergei.
"Now that is awesome and strange too" said Loona.
Luan and Mr. Mime were speechless and they didn't even had a chance to retaliate when Lopunny came in for close combat and a hyper beam!
Lopunny stands as the winner, but she does help Mr. Mime back to his feet.
Jordan then looks to Lisa. "Did you get all of that?"
"Yes …. I … I … I did" replied Lisa, still shocked.
"I also got it. Literally cool" said Lori with her phone.
"Good, because I want Lincoln and Absol to see what happened" replied Jordan.
"Something tells me Absol is gonna faint" replied Lucy.
"I'm sure he will and Lincoln will be proud of Jordan" said Lynn Jr.
"And Linka as well guys" said Mollie.
"That was awesome!" said Timmy. Poof also cheered as Timmy's watch.
Then Dana looks to Becky. "By the way, where's Carol at?"
Becky was also confused. "No idea. But she said she was meeting with someone."
Leon had a strange feeling about this.
(FutureTech HQ)
Victor Abromovitch is looking at himself in the mirror. "Okay, this is it man."
He is wearing a black jacket with some violet decals and a red shirt inside. Black jeans and black combat boots.
Victor looks to his computer. 'I can't believe someone answered my message and she was the only one who replied. Now I just have to know who is this stranger and see if she my type.'
He straightens his hair and smells his breath. "Okay, I smell nice, but I think I should pack some mints just in case."
"Here you go man" someone hands him some Mentos.
"Thanks" replied Victor. Then he realizes that he was not alone in the room.
Victor turns around and sees Martin, Penny, Tadashi and Jacky Cyber, all of them smiling.
"Shit" said Victor.
"So, the guy who said he was gonna wait for Ms. Right, has finally gotten a date" said Jack Cyber.
"And I thought I was desperate for love" said Martin.
"Actually Leon was" said Penny.
"So, you know what you're doing?" asked Tadashi.
Victor then looks back at the mirror. "Yeah, yeah. I know what to do, ask who she is and see if I know her, ask what are her interests and what her hobbies are, but don't get too snooty with them, don't ask about her age, though she said she is eighteen, compliment on her looks depending on what she's wearing and finally if it all goes well ask her for a second date."
They were shocked that he knew what to do.
"How?" asked Martin.
"I researched on dating practices also I just need to follow what my heart and brain feels" replied Victor.
"Wow! Talk about prepared for the moment" said Jack Cyber.
"Well, we wish you good luck man" said Tadashi.
"And we won't spy on you, promise" replied Penny.
"I know you guys won't spy on me. I can detect Burst drone detection thanks to my Tesla powers" replied Victor.
"Also, do you know where you're meeting her?" asked Tadashi.
"I already sent her a reply when she responded to my post" said Victor.
He then grabs his red and purple scarf and leaves the room and then the building and into his black Chevy suburban.
The others can see this from the window.
"If he needed a ride, I can just let him borrow my car" said Martin.
"That's the one thing he forgot I guess" said Jack Cyber.
"So, now what?" asked Penny.
"Well, I have to do some tech research with some blueprints" said Martin.
"Mind if I join you?" asked Jack Cyber.
"Sure why not" replied Martin.
"Well, I heard there was gonna be a Pokemon battle in the Ketchum Park" said Penny.
"I could go for some Pokemon combat action" replied Tadashi.
"You two have fun now" said Martin.
Tadashi and Penny both leave the facility, then Jack Cyber looks at Martin with a smug look. "You just let them go, so that Tadashi won't find out about the improvements we're gonna add to some copied tech from Big Hero 6."
"Yes, yes I am" replied Martin.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Jack Cyber.
"It's only a matter of time before we all get called in to their world, the Guardian said that there has been some small seismic activity in their world, he doesn't know what it is. But sooner or later he'll want me to send scouts towards the disturbances" replied Martin.
Jack Cyber smiles. "Okay then, let's see what modifications we can do to the team of San Fransokyo."
Then Martin gets a message on his phone.
"Who is it?" asked Jack Cyber.
Martin then hits send and puts his phone back in his pocket. "Sunset Shimmer, she is inviting me to play Minecraft tomorrow with the others for something awesome."
"Maybe you guys will be blowing up Leon's Minecraft house again" Said Jack Cyber.
They both laugh.
"Never gets old" said Martin.
(Seven Eleven Gas Station)
The black Chevy suburban finally makes it to its destination and Victor comes out after parking it.
He then heads inside and sees the place wasn't quite full. 'Huh, slow day today.'
Victor then buys a milk shake and heads to the chairs and tables, he looks around for the girl he is supposed to meet, but there was no one there. 'Dang it!'
"Victor?" Victor turns around and sees an eighteen year old teen, wearing a purple buttoned shirt and light purple skirt with purple knee high socks and brown shoes, she even has a purple head band.
"Carol Pingrey?" asked Victor.
They both ask each other. "What are you doing here?"
They both cover their mouths, but then they respond. "Waiting for my date."
They stop and look at each other. "I was told to meet here."
They had no clue what was even happening.
"Blonde&Purple4ever?" asked Victor.
"Sh0ckTh3rapyK1ng?" asked Carol.
They both blushed and had no clue what else to do.
"This is awkward" replied Victor.
"I did not expect you to be the guy I was supposed to meet" said Carol.
"I didn't think it the girl who is friends with Lori and Leni would be the girl I was supposed to meet" replied Victor.
Carol crosses her arms and looks to him sternly. Victor realizes what he just said. "Sorry, I was just over exaggerating there."
Carol soon looks down and sighs. "Yeah, it's okay. I guess we're both two people looking for a good time, or better yet the right person."
Then Victor gets an idea. "You wanna order something?"
Carol smiles. "Sure, that'd be nice. And we are supposed to be knowing each other."
They both go around and look for something to eat.
They then head to the cashier, Victor has a spicy cheese hotdog and sprite and Carol has a chicken club sandwich and sprite. They both pay for their food and find a place to sit, but there wasn't much people so there was a lot of places to sit.
"So, you're finding someone special for your life?" asked Carol.
Victor sighs. "I am, I guess just seeing Sergei, Leon and Martin now in a relationship kinda triggered it all, and to the fact I have been a single man my whole life since Command and Conquer."
"Yeah, Lori and Leni told me about that. I'm so sorry that you were supposed to die" said Carol.
"It's okay. At least I'm alive and yet feeling so empty. I may look like I'm always ready to start the day, but to be honest I am miserable. Like every time I wake up in my house I just look at the mirror and-"
Carol finishes his sentence. "Look at someone who wants to be more than this?"
Victor looks at Carol and sees the upset look. "Y-You know what it's like?"
Carol sighs. "Victor, my mom and dad are rich, they want me to be in college and I haven't even decided, they said they're patient with my choice but for how long. They want me to be successful, but to also have fun. I don't even know what to do with my future!"
Victor has seen this before, in himself and Leon on one occasion.
"Have you decided which College?" asked Victor.
Carol shakes her head.
"Well, maybe you just have to be patient with yourself. Let your heart guide you to what you want or what you need and when it's time. Then the choice will be made, but there are some chances where you can be given another chance to your choices" replied Victor.
Carol didn't know what else to say, he was like someone who could give her a shoulder to lean on, a hand to help her stand, a path to walk to and a heart to cherish. Carol felt something she thought she would never feel since she broke up with her boyfriend, love. But unlike her ex-boyfriend, this love was more passionate and more emotional.
Victor looked at the stunned face of Carol. "Carol? Carol? Blondie? Carol Pingrey?"
Carol got up from her seat and sat next to him, this made Victor confused. "Umm, are you okay?"
Carol didn't even know what she was doing. She just got closer to him, and Victor was starting to freak out. "Carol?"
And then Carol catches him off guard with a long passionate kiss. Victor panics at first but then he melts into the kiss, it gets almost intense, but then someone coughs to get their attention.
Victor and Carol stop and see Sergei and Loona. "So, this is happening" said Victor.
"And I thought Sergei and me like to get physical" said Loona.
Carol blushes and looks to Victor who is a bit shocked.
Carol lets go of him and races out of the building.
"Carol!" Victor also gets up and chases after her.
Sergei and Loona look at Victor who is chasing after Carol and then back to each other.
"Did we interrupt a date?" asked Sergei.
"I think we did" replied Loona.
Outside Carol runs to her car, but she trips and drops her keys in the snow.
Carol was now on her hands and knees and crying.
Victor makes it and sees her breaking down, he sees the keys and picks them up.
He then approaches Carol and offers a hand to her. "Come on Pingrey, this is no place to sit. You'll catch cold or frostbite."
Carol wipes away some of her tears and accepts his hand and gets up.
Victor could tell she felt embarrassed.
"I-I'm so sorry!" said Carol, she just looks down and cries.
Victor raises her head to face his and he wipes away her tears. "Don't be. it was just in the heat of the moment. I know that you were entranced by the words I told you, because we both understand each other, just like Leon and Dana, Martin and Becky, Sergei and Loona and pretty much a lot of our friends who are all in the big shipping department."
Carol liked the feeling of his hand on her cheek. "Y-You don't think …. You don't think I was …. Being pathetic?"
Victor shakes his head slowly. "To be honest, that was my first kiss and I kinda liked it. Like a lot."
Carol wipes away some of her tears and chuckles. "Still, I shouldn't have done that. We only just got to know each other and we almost went too far."
Victor didn't like seeing her like this, it wasn't a good image on her. Then he gets an idea and smiles. "How about, next week you and me go on a second date, Restaurant from another world?"
Carol was shocked at what he just asked her, but she soon smiled. Knowing this could be another chance. "S-Sure, I'd love that."
Victor then places a kiss on her lips and it was Carol who was shocked this time and then she puts her arms around his neck and she deepens the kiss.
Sergei and Loona watch from the window and take a picture.
Victor and Carol break the kiss and look at each other's eyes lovingly.
They then slowly walk away from each other, with their hands still holding on but soon letting go and head to their own cars and drive off.
The only thing that was on their mind, was each other and what else could happen for the both of them.
But Carol stops her car and starts to cry again. She figured something out, she was not like Victor Abromovitch, code name Tesla Terror. Member of the Royal Defenders.
Victor is still driving and also feels like something was off. He was not like Carol Pingrey, Senior Student of Royal Woods High school. A friend of Lori and Leni, employee of Lynn's Table.
Now they was only one thing on their mind. 'H-How am I gonna make this w-work?!'
To be continued …..
Dazzles headed for their first gig, Washington and Victoria will soon get a home for their own, Jordan's Lopunny megavolved and Victor and Carol are on a rocky relationship. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
