Spells and Louds
Chapter 234: For tomorrow's Birthday
(Ketcham Park)
Lincoln, Linka, Luna, Leni, Timmy, Sunset and Duchess are all laying on the grass all forming a circle next to each other.
"So, any of you guys have any ideas on what you're gonna get dad?" asked Lincoln.
"Not really" said Linka.
"I've got nothing" said Sunset.
"I wish I knew what he wants" said Duchess.
"Same here" said Timmy.
"No ideas here dude" said Luna.
"I already have something ready for him" said Leni.
They all sat up and looked at Leni. "What?"
Leni sits up as well. "I made some new outfits he could try on, and wear to some of his normal daytime things."
"Okay, so I guess you got your gift covered. But what about the rest of us? We have to think of something to give to dad" said Lincoln.
"Usually we'd have a plan for something like this, but I guess we don't" said Linka.
Just then Luna gets an idea. "I think I got my idea just now! I can come up with a song dad might like, and I can ask the following people to be part of the song as a way for them to pitch into the gift as well."
"Good job Lunes, I guess that makes two of us siblings with a gift idea" said Lincoln.
"But that just leaves the rest of us still" said Sunset.
"You could help out too Sunset, we could use a drummer. Once I figure out what the song is gonna be" said Luna.
"Cool, I do know how to play drums as well" said Sunset.
"Okay, so Sunset is pitching in with Luna. We're doing well with this birthday gift team work" said Lincoln.
Then Duchess and Timmy got an idea.
"I think I can find something at the village of Bookend dad might like. Whenever he passes by the village for lunch with Dean Giles, he would notice this small statue of a dragon made of Obsidian, I think I have the cash for it" said Duchess.
"Nice one" said Linka.
"Poof and I could come up with a gift straight out of fairy world. There's gotta be something dad could like form there" said Timmy.
"And that just leaves Lincoln, Linka and Lily" said Sunset.
"Not Lily, I think she already has her gift ready. It could be a drawing or some way to show pops that she has learned something" said Luna.
"She has a good point there" said Duchess.
They then look to Lincoln and Linka, who were both trying to figure out on what they can do to show how much they appreciate Neil for all he has done for them.
Then it hit both Linck twins. "I got it!" The others were shocked they just said that at the same time, while also finding it kinda cute. They are twins after all.
"So, you guys got an idea on what to give dad on his birthday?" asked Sunset.
"We do, but it's gonna be a surprise" said Linka.
"We are talking about the same thing right?" asked Lincoln. Linka then whispers to him on what her idea is. Lincoln smiles. "Yeah, we are thinking of the same thing."
"Okay, so we got all of it covered. Let's go and get them ready then" said Linka.
"But here's the thing we need to think about. The Louds" said Timmy.
"He's got a point, we're gonna be celebrating the birthday of the man who took you guys into the family" said Sunset.
"Wow, we did not think of that part all the way through" said Luna.
"Maybe we should leave them out of the birthday party. The last thing we want is them feeling a bit uncomfortable on a day we celebrate the man we now call dad" said Leni.
"Which means we can't tell Lori either, this is not gonna be good" said Sunset.
"I don't think they know about dad's birthday, so I think we're good" said Lincoln.
"Let's hope they do, otherwise things could get very awkward" said Duchess.
Luna stands up. "Well. Now that we have that all covered up, what's say we get out there and get dad the gifts of our choosing?"
They all get up. "Yeah!" they then put their hands in the middle. "Spellman kids!"
And they all separate into different direction to begin their plan. Lincoln and Linka head back home, Duchess and Timmy tags along with them to head to Ever After and Fairy world, Luna and Sunset drive to Sam's place so they can come up with a song and Leni goes to meet up with the rest of their friends to inform them about this.
What they all don't know is that Lisa, Lola, Lana, Lucy, Luan, Lynn Jr and Lori overheard everythin.
"So, they think we're gonna be upset about Neil's B-Day?" asked Lana.
"Sure sounds like it" said Lucy.
"This isn't making me feel better at all" said Lola.
"I'm usually one to be happy for someone's birthday. But to the fact they don't want us to be part of it kinda hurts" said Luan.
Lynn Jr. sighs. "Maybe they're right. I mean this is the guy who technically separated all of us from our four other siblings, and he may have done all of us a favor. Things could've gone worst of Lincoln didn't go with them."
Lori also looks down with some sadness. "Lynn literally has a point, maybe we should sit this whole birthday party out. It's for the best."
Lisa then gets an idea. "Or, we could show them that we can be acceptable for everything that's been happening. Sure we may have some small uncomfortable problems when Neil is around, but we have also gotten to be okay with his presence at most times. We can accept these kinds of conflicts, Neil is the one who's been helping with many of the problems we've had lately, and he has turned Lincoln into someone for the better, something we may have not been able to do. And for that we are greatful right?"
They all understood what Lisa meant. "You know what, the heck with it! Let's do this!" said Lori.
"Lisa does make a good point. We can deal with is" said Lola.
"Yeah, we can be okay with celebrating his birthday" said Lana.
"But we do have one problem. Mom and dad" said Lucy.
"She has a point, though we can be able to reason with them" said Luan.
They then turn to Lynn Jr. She still didn't seem pleased with everything that has transpired. Lori approaches her little sister and kneels down to her level. "Lynn, we know things are still not the same with the lack of eight eyes in the house. But we gotta make do with what we have and be proud to all the things that have been happening, and the best way for it right now is to be there for the person who helped save this world from chaos."
Lynn Jr looks to Lori and hugs her. "Thanks sis, I needed that." Lori also hugs Lynn. "You're welcome Lynn."
They soon break the hug and Lynn looks to the rest of her sisters. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go and hustle up this plan of ours then!"
They all cheered. "Yeah!"
Lori smiles. 'Now that's the Lynn I know and love.'
They all hop into Veronica and drive off back to the loud house. But then they realize they're parents are at work, so first they make their way to Lynn's table.
(Fairy world)
Timmy and Poof are both wandering the city of fairy world alongside Cosmo, Wanda and Chloe.
"So, what's the one thing your dad would love?" asked Chloe.
"Well, he is strong. Kind hearted at most times to family and friends. Hates evil. He has a dragon. A zerg army. And can be very dangerous when action comes up" said Timmy.
"That is not gonna be easy to find around here sport" said Wanda.
"How about we get him something holiday like? Does anyone know any holiday that starts on March?" asked Cosmo.
"I doubt there's anything important as a holiday for March" said Chloe.
Then they see poof looking at something. "Poof, what are you looking at?" asked Timmy.
"Something your dad would like" replied Poof. They also see through the store window and they smile.
"I think we found it" smiled Timmy.
"You sure about this?" asked Wanda and Chloe.
"We know we're sure" replied Timmy and Poof.
Just then Timmy gets a text from Duchess. "Says here Duchess couldn't get the statue, it was sold already. But she says she has another idea and she'll be showing it to dad tomorrow on his birthday."
"Wow, now that's what I call a quick gift change" said Wanda.
"What about your former mom Timmy? Is she coming as well?" asked Chloe.
"Well duh, she appreciates all that he's done and for fixing all of the mistake she has made with me. She's coming to dad's birthday" said Timmy.
Timmy also get a text from Leni. 'I told the rest of the team, they're all in on the plan on making Dad's birthday party!'
"And Leni has her part covered" said Timmy.
"What did she get your dad anyway?" asked Chloe.
"Some clothes she designed for him to wear" replied Poof.
(Sharp Residence)
Luna, Sam and Sunset are trying to come up with something for Neil's birthday song, something that would make him happy.
"So, we know he has a dragon, an alien army and control of Ever After High" said Sam.
"This could be difficult to think of, is there anything else we should know about dad that could help?" asked Sunset.
Luna continues to think. Just then they see Peter pass by them. "Hey! Mr. Sharp!"
Peter comes back and enters Sam's room. "Yeah?"
"I know you and my dad hung out way before then. Do you know the things he usually does back in your hay day?" asked Luna.
Peter was thinking. "Well, he did run Child Protection Services, he was given full granted control of FutureTech as a supporting role alongside Martin and Victor, and he was a great explorer in which he found Leon and Sergei and … Let me see if I'm missing anything …. Oh yeah! He fought alongside the soldiers in the Middle East! Those were the good times he spent with a group of guys he called friends, sadly they all got killed during a mission, only he, myself, Leon and Sergei survived."
"Wow. Talk about a major history lesson" said Sam.
Luna smiled. "Sir, I think we got a song. But we could use you to sing it. Along with some other guys."
Peter smiled. "A song about Neil's past. Now that is something I look forward to, and be lucky that I got the time I need. The Dazzles and I will be leaving on Saturday for their next musical tour."
"Awesome!" said Sam, Sunset and Luna.
Luna pulls out her phone. "But first, I gotta contact some other dudes who would be willing to sing as well. Some dudes who have already been through stuff with dad way before us."
She then sends the message to Leon, Sergei, Martin and Victor.
"So, what is this song about anyway?" asked Sunset.
Luna smiles. "Something to salute too."
"Wow. Now this is getting interesting" said Peter.
Luna also gets another idea. "And how about we add some of that gaming flare pops does."
"What?" asked Sam.
(Spellman Hell mansion)
Neil and Sergei are walking down the hallways of the mansion.
"So, how are things going on in Casa de la Hell?" asked Neil.
Sergei chuckles. "Ha! Nice one. And we're doing quite well, we were able to bring everything Leon packed into the mansion and everything has been setup, Leon himself is happy to have a big room for his stuff, we have filled up the weapon room with some extra weapons we have, Loona is now in the nursery looking around the room, she really likes it there and Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie have visited the place this morning."
"Wow! Anything else?" asked Neil.
"Hollow's gifts finally arrived, which means this house now has some service droids and Droideka security. They obey our commands and like the clone wars era they have their own sentient minds and ate okay with this kind of work" replied Sergei.
"Nice, seems like you guys are on a roll with your new living standards. Congrats" said Neil.
"No thanks to you. You helped Loona and me gain what we truly needed, a home to start our new family" said Sergei.
Neil chuckles. "And what of Leon?"
"Oh yeah, him. I guess it is nice to do this for Leon as well, we have tons of room and the other extra two in which Leon and I have decided what to do with one of them" said Sergei.
"And that is?" asked Neil.
"A game room, for game consoles and computer stuff. Or we could call it the social internet room" said Sergei.
"Wow! Did you wife agree to this?" asked Neil.
"She did. She may have this new life with me, but she's still the on the phone hellhound that she used to be back in hell, also she's still thankful for all you've done. That or it could be her mood swings talking, she was very clingy to me last night when we were asleep" said Sergei.
Neil chuckles. "Wow dude, looks like your kid might be inbound soon. Are you ready for when your kid comes somewhere on the twenty fifth of this month?"
Sergei sighs. "Yeah, I am a bit nervous. But also very proud with myself. Pretty soon, I am gonna become a dad!"
Neil chuckles. "Now you'll understand how I feel."
Then Sergei gets a message from Luna. 'Came up with a song for pops b-day. You, Leon, Martin, Victor and Peter can pitch in as a gift that we can all perform for him. Do not tell dad!'
Sergei smiles and puts his phone away, he makes sure Neil doesn't find out. "So, tomorrow is your big day huh?"
"What? Oh! Yeah, my birthday is tomorrow. Which means this guy is gonna be twenty four, one more year into the step of the life I am in. I know my kids and the rest of you guys have some things planned for me, and I'm okay with it. Even if you guys don't have any gifts for me, it's okay. Let's just hope it's not the same office birthday party I had three years ago" said Neil.
"Dude, we are not even doing an office party. That sounds ridiculously stupid on so many levels" said Sergei. "And three years ago, it was not my idea it was Leon's."
"Wait what?" asked Neil.
(Spellman Estate)
Lincoln and Linka start assembling their gift for their dad.
"Do you think he's gonna like this?" asked Linka.
"Whether he likes it or not, at least we got him something to show how much he means to us. Look at where we are now, living in peace, as heroes, through whatever trouble and as a unified family" said Lincoln.
Linka wipes away a tear. "And to think. He was the one who helped give me a family who cares and watches out for each other, I really do love dad and his devotion for helping, even though he now has this alien and demon dragon way of doing it."
"Yeah me too. But all things are changing and we're gonna be going through all of it step by step. Together" said Lincoln.
They then place down some finishing touches to their gift. With the help of Absol and Arcanine.
Courage is making some fudge brownies. Gwen has fallen asleep on the hammock in the backyard with Lily next to her.
Washington and Victoria are still in the living room watching over their little ones, eyes till closed but wandering around.
The something comes into Lincoln's thoughts. "What do you think is gonna happen to Leni with her date with Loni?"
Linka sighed. "Well, they both can pretty much take care of themselves. And chances they might be going to Western Restaurant Nekoya, since she said they're gonna have their date on Saturday."
"Yeah, I guess that pretty much sums it all up. Let's hope they're date turns out well, and they might run into some of our pals there on dates, probably" said Lincoln.
They then proceed to gift wrap their gift.
(FutureTech HQ)
Martin and Victor already know about the message from Luna and they agreed to it.
"What do you think the song is about?" asked Victor.
"Probably something about Neil's past, or something else. We just have to figure it out tomorrow" said Martin.
They're both working on some modifications for the GDI Archangel Support aircraft, alongside Penny and Jack Cyber.
"So, tomorrow is Spellman's birthday huh?" asked Jack Cyber.
"This is going to be so exciting! Even though I do not have a gift for him, but at least we'll be there as support" said Penny.
"Neil doesn't mind a no gift party, just as long as he has friends and family" said Martin.
"Which brings us to you Jack Cyber. You're going to have to pick up Diana, Sabrina, Hilda and Zelda tomorrow morning" said Victor.
"Sure thing, but you do know they can take a portal right?" said Jack Cyber.
Victor takes this time to think. "Okay, good point. Then I guess you'll have to pick up Diana Spellman instead."
Martin then looks around. "Also, where heck is Tadashi Hamada? He hasn't shown up today?"
"Oh, he left earlier to visit his Aunt Cass and little brother. Spending some family time, but he will be here tomorrow for Neil's birthday" said penny.
"Well that's nice of him. You guys think Hollow will show up?" asked Victor.
"Obviously, those two are best friends. I think" said Jack Cyber.
"And what of the Guardian?" asked Penny.
"He'll be there, I hope. He is deposable for giving Neil his powers" said Martin.
"He might just send him a birthday card if he's busy" said Victor. This makes them all chuckle and then go back to work.
The Chronosphere all of a sudden starts to turn on and then turn off, an anomaly has appeared within their world, a strange glowing blue crystal shard has appeared underneath Spellman Estate, and this shard is the key to finding two heroes trapped in the most dangerous world imaginable.
