Spells and Louds
Chapter 247: Kicking it in Royal Woods
(Royal Woods Elementary)
All seems to be normal for everyone in Royal Woods elementary, or so it may seem. Next to the fact Lincoln, Linka, Jordan and Timmy being heroes, now they have a wild card mixed into the town's and schools standards.
skateboarding into the school, and passing by all the students without causing any collisions is none other than future Daredevil Kick Sharp (formerly Buttowski) going past every obstacle without even clashing with anyone.
He even by passes Principal Huggins and Clyde McBride.
"Huh, so that's the kid I was told about" said Huggins, they see him tactically jump over Norm without even laying a scratch to the floor.
"Sure seems like it. Looks like Mr. Sharp was right about him, he doesn't seem to cause trouble when he skates, and those were some smart moves in avoiding everyone" replied Clyde.
"Well, as long as no one is hurt while he does this, then I'm okay with it" said Huggins.
"Same here sir" replied Clyde. "Now, let's get back to the upcoming spelling bee for Royal Woods."
Then they both stop and recall the report they got from Mellowbrook Elementary Principal Henry. The report about Kick being good at spelling, this gave them both an idea.
"You thinking what I'm thinking McBride?" asked Huggins.
"I do believe I am sir" replied Clyde.
Then Gunther races past them. "Sorry sir, but I have to go and catch up to Kick." Gunther then makes a hard turn and runs off.
"Just don't run next time Mr. Magnuson!" yelled Huggins. Then Huggins and Clyde realize something.
"Was that large kid even a student here?" asked Clyde.
"Perhaps he has his reason to come here" replied Principal Huggins.
(Meanwhile)
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan are busy putting their things into their lockers. They're friends and Timmy approach them.
"Hey guys, so everyone ready for the big test next week?" asked Linka.
"I have been doing all of my studies last night. Sure as heck I am ready for the test next week" said Sadie.
"We might have to redouble that just in case" said Mollie.
"This sure isn't gonna be easy for some of us" said Zach.
"Also, should we even mention about Rusty? He isn't gonna be here since he's suspended for who knows how long" said Liam.
Lincoln and the others sighed. They all still recall Rusty not being there ever since the incident he caused.
"Maybe we should let that conversation slide" said Stella.
Timmy then changes the subject. "So, where do you think Kick is?"
"You mean the new kid from the Sharps?" asked Joy.
"That's his name? Kick?" asked Cookie.
"It's the nickname he chose, and he'd rather be called that than his real name" replied Jordan.
"Might I ask, what does he do again?" asked Tabby.
"And aren't there two new kids?" asked Giggles.
Then they spot a kid in a white jumpsuit skating towards them, he then grinds to a halt right in front of all of them and does his pose and catches his skateboard. "Oh yeah, Kick is in the school!"
Lincoln chuckles. "Hey Kick, enjoying yourself?"
"Sure am Lincoln. Gotta say, this place sure beats Mellowbrook by a long shot. Also, has anyone seen Gunther?"
"Who now?" asked Mollie. Then they spot the large lad coming. "Kick! Kick!"
"Wow, he sure looks big" said Liam.
"And not supposed to be here" replied Linka.
"What? Why?" asked Sadie.
Gunther arrive and pants heavily. "You ….. Forgot … You're …. Phone!"
Kick grabs it. "Huh, thanks Gunther. Also, shouldn't you be in middle school by now?"
"Yeah, I was about to go. But then your dad had to let me give you this" said Gunther. He then checks his watch. "And I still have time to get there, so I guess this is where I take my leave."
"Heh, it's not gonna be easy without you by my side through the whole school days" said Kick.
"Yeah." He then whispers to Kick. "Deep down, I feel like crying."
Kick chuckles. "Well, see you after school Gunther."
"You too pal" Gunther then whistles. "Olaf! To me!"
A reindeer arrives and Gunther hops on. "Later Kick, Lincoln, Linka, Jordan and Pink hatted kid I don't know yet." He then takes off with his reindeer out of the school window.
They are all shocked at what they just saw.
"Did he just …. Leave the school, on a moose?" asked Liam.
"That was a Reindeer to be exact" replied Lisa who arrived, along with Lana, Lola and Lucy.
"That was an actual Reindeer?!" said Lola.
"I wanna pet it!" said Lana.
"Please behave guys" said Lucy.
They all hear the bell ring. "And it's time for class" said Lincoln.
"Well, since I haven't really made it to the sixth grade. My schedule said that I'm in the same class as Timmy here" said Kick.
"It'll be good to have another friendly face in class. Let's go Kick" said Timmy. But Kick grabs him and he's on the skateboard with Kick. "Let's go there in style!"
"What?" asked Timmy, and they are off.
The others were surprised by this, they had lots of questions for this daredevil of a kid.
(Elsewhere, nearby Lynn's table)
Lynn Sr, Peter Sharp, and Gunther's parents. Helga and Magnus and his uncle Bjorgen.
They all stand back and gaze at the newly opened restaurant The BattleSnax!
"Now this is a whole new start for us!" said Magnus.
"Ya! This will truly make our mark here in Royal Woods" said Helga.
"And all it took was some overnight construction and hard work" said Peter.
"And I am glad to have you guys as neighbors. Also, I hope you guys were able to change the menu of your restaurant" said Lynn Sr.
"We did. We know the people in this town do not cater in eating live kraken eggs" said Magnus.
"So we decided to add some new food to the menu. They come in super-size as well" said Bjorgen.
Lynn Sr looks back to the new menu they made. "What the heck is a Sea King?"
Peter chuckles. "Let's just say, pirates eat this kind of stuff and as I recall from where they're from. They are a fine delicacy."
"It's true to what he says. We were given some samples from that Spellman fellow let us sample some that he has, and they are quite delicious!" said Helga.
"And we know the people of Royal Woods will find them delicious as well ya" said Magnus.
"Okay then, well I can't wait to try some of it as well. Also, how are you guys fairing in living here in town?" asked Lynn Sr.
"We are having a good time yes? We are neighboring the Sharps!" said Magnus.
"Oh, Gunther was so happy when he heard he was going to be neighbors with his best friend Kick!" said Helga.
Peter chuckles. "If there's one thing Neil and I weren't going to do, is that we were not gonna let the friendship between those two get parted off in boats."
Magnus laughs. "Ha! I get that joke! Like a Long boat!"
Then Peter checks his watch. "Well, the kids are still gonna be in school, so we still have time before I show Kick and Gunther the big surprise to truly make them feel at home here."
"One thing I know Peter. Kick and Gunther will love the gift you have for them" said Magnus as he pats Peter in the back.
"It will be like an early birthday gift for Gunther and a late gift for Kick" said Helga.
"Yeah, I guess that's true" said Peter.
"Come on guys, let's see how the restaurant looks now" said Lynn Sr. They all head into the building.
"By the way, what the heck are these starnge creatures wandering the town?" asked Magnus. (He's asking about the Pokemon.)
(Royal Woods High School)
Luna and Sam are eating lunch with their band. They notice just how happy Sam looked.
"So, how are things going with the new little bro in your place Sam?" asked Mazzy.
"Awesome! You should've seen the Dazzles faces! They loved having a little brother, mostly Sonata" said Sam.
"It's true" replied Adagio. The Dazzles then take a seat with them at their table.
"Glad you guys are here, we also wanna congratulate you three for being part of our music club" said Sully.
"Thanks, we three are talented with singing. So it's only fair that music club is what we should join" said Adagio.
"Though I also have a part to play in Theater club, Adagio in debate and Sonata in cooking" said Aria.
"Enough of that! Let's talk about our new little bro!" said Sonata.
Sam chuckles. "You really like having a little brother."
"Heck yeah I do. It's so nice to have someone who's years younger than you and related!" said Sonata.
"Even though Sam is more in bonding with Kick. Seems you two might have a sibling bond" said Aria as she sips her soda.
Sam chuckles. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Kinda like with Lincoln and me" replied Luna. Luna then gets an idea. "Did you sneak into his room just to lay down next to the little bro?"
Sam felt embarrassed to hear that question. "Okay, okay. I did lay down next to Kick, he does stay in the room … The room where Simon used to be. He told me he was gonna make sure it stays safe and secure and not to do any damage to it. He understands just how much Simon meant to me, and even though he can't be Simon, he'll do what he can to at least support and be there for me. Like Simon used to."
Luna, Sully, Mazzy and the Dazzles awe at those words.
"Kick is so nice" said Sonata. "Pretty cool" said Aria. "And a pretty manageable brother" said Adagio.
"Dudes, he suddenly sounds like Lincoln" said Sully.
"Shut it dummy. He's not Lincoln, he's just himself" teased Mazzy.
They all continue to chat about Kick and also tell them about the life Kick used to have and how much he could be when he joins in sports clubs.
Sam couldn't wait to see her little bro after school. She wants to try and spend some time with him, and maybe Gunther could come along for the ride as well.
(Royal Woods Elementary)
Kick and Timmy enter the cafeteria, they could see tons of kids were there are chatting.
"There are the others" Timmy points to the table where Lincoln and the others are.
"Good, one thing I know. They're gonna wanna have tons of questions for me" said Kick. They head towards them and take their seats. There was one thing on Kick's thoughts, the rumor he heard about a kid who was suspended and was once a part of Lincoln's group of friends. He wants to ask about him, but he decides not to.
"So, you do stunts?" asked Mollie.
"A lot" replied Kick.
"And you don't flinch from them?" asked Stella.
"Never. Ever. Flinched from them" replied Kick.
"What about fails? Surely not all of your stunts go right" said Clyde.
"Well, not all my stunts can go according to plan. But I always find a way to improvise or go with plan B and land safely somewhere" said Kick. "And that's where Gunther also takes in place."
"He's your wingman after all, and your best friend" said Linka.
"So, enjoying being neighbors with Gunther? What about the restaurant of theirs?" asked Lincoln.
Kick smiles. "You should've seen the look on Gunther when he heard we were gonna be neighbors. And the BattleSnax will be open today, and they will be serving food from another world, I think."
"Well, I can't wait to see this place and give it a shot" said Tabby.
"Same here, where's it located?" asked Liam.
"Near Lynn's table" replied Kick.
"Take it from Lynn Sr to make things nice and steady for a friendly neighboring restaurant" said Jordan.
"So, how did the rest of your sisters take it when you came here?" asked Linka.
"Well I gotta say, they sure are colorful. Sonata was actually thrilled to have a little brother and the others thought I was kinda cool. It feels nice having older sister who wanna support me and what I dream for" replied Kick.
Lincoln chuckles. "Well, now you know how I feel."
"And Sam?" asked Tabby.
Kick chuckles and feels awkward hearing that. But Lincoln knows, he's been down that road. "So, she snuck into your room and went to sleep next to you didn't she?"
Kick sighs. "She did, now normally I wouldn't like to do that, because of who I am and all the awesome things that make me, well me. But after last night with Sam, it felt nice, kinda like-"
"Like a special sibling who will be there for you when things are going wrong? I have been through that with Luna, it could mean you and Sam might have a bond" replied Lincoln.
"Yeah, I guess. The room I'm staying in belongs to ….. Her little brother, Simon. She really looked upset at recalling him. I had a small talk with her, and we settled it all out. I may not be Simon, but I can at least try and be there for her, like Simon once did" replied Kick.
They all thought it was so nice of him to say that. This did remind them of Lincoln and Luna.
"Glad you could make a new family out of this new life you have" said Timmy.
"Yeah, it sure is. Also dad said he has a surprise for Gunther and me later after school" replied Kick.
"Really? Is it cool if we tag along?" asked Mollie.
"I don't see why not" replied Kick. "Also, is it true there's gonna be this big test next week?"
"There is Kick. So you better get started with your studying, like us" said Timmy.
"Okay, okay. I guess it is time to hold off the stunts for a while, or better yet do stunts and study" replied Kick.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" asked Lincoln.
"I guess you can say. I do most of my studying when I perform stunts, just like how I did at the Mellowbrook Spelling Bee" replied Kick.
This made Clyde smile. 'So, he did win the Spelling Bee at Mellowbrook. This could work, I should tell Principal Huggins later about this.'
"So, tell us Kick. What's with that jumpsuit of yours?" asked Kat.
"Do you always wear that?" asked Sadie.
Kick chuckles. "That is a story you're all gonna have to wait, for next time I guess."
(FutureTech HQ)
Martin, Victor, Jack Cyber and Penny are putting their new tech inventions on hold for a while, right now they are checking on the progress of Mellowbrook.
"Looks like the rest of the town is faring well. The town is at peace. All their schools have enacted their new laws and policies" said Martin.
"This is turning out pretty well for them, also we found this footage" Victor puts up on screen one of Kick and Brad's fights.
The day Kick was helping his big brother with his date with some hot sixteen year old, April.
They see the two boys fighting using churros as swords and clashing all around the fair. While April had no clue what was even going on. Then they spot the churro slip out and land onto the chest of the merry-go-round controller, the man screams and passes out.
This made them confused. But Boomer, who is there, laughs.
"Well, that was pathetic" said Martin.
"What the hell was that shit?!" asked Victor.
"How does a churro even hurt someone?" asked Penny.
"That guy got churro bitch hit!" laughed Boomer.
Jack Cyber does a background check on April. "Oh, well this is interesting."
"What is?" asked Victor.
"Says here that April is sixteen, not like other teens, does part time jobs, single and likes awesome stuff. Similar to Kick's likings!" said Jack Cyber.
"Dang!" said Boomer. They then see the rest of the footage, where April gets angry at Brad for treating Kick like that and they both go and watch the movie, Rock Callahan, Cop-Topus.
"Wow!" said Penny.
"What are the odds that chick might have heard about what happened to Kick and wants to hang out with him?" asked Martin.
"Chances are, she might. I think we should put some new restriction systems to the outpost we placed in Mellowbrook, only let the people Kick knows and trusts come through" replied Jack Cyber.
Penny then turns off the screen and changes it to the blueprints to the foundation of Mistral. "Well, now that we have that covered, let's talk about our tactical approach to Haven."
"I'll go and get us some coffee" said Boomer.
(After school, Royal Woods Ketcham park)
Lincoln, Linka, Jordan, Timmy, Kick, Mollie, Sadie, Cookie, Joy, Kay, Liam, Zach, Giggles, Tabby and Stella are waiting by the benches, and with them are their Pokemon.
"Dude, it's been almost fifteen minutes" said Mollie.
"So, when is your dad coming here?" asked Zach.
"He'll be here, and we also have to wait for Sam and Gunther. Oh and my other sisters the Dazzles" replied Kick.
Then they see Gunther rush in. "Hey guys, so how was your day Kick?"
"Gunther! Glad you came buddy, also school went well. I think I'll be doing lots of studying while I do stunts" said Kick. "Also, how was it at Middle school?"
"Oh, well I think I just made the football team" replied Gunther.
They all gasped. "I'm sorry, you said what now?" said Kick.
Gunther nods. "It's true. They saw just how fast and strong I was, so they signed me up for football. I'm gonna begin my first game on April. The Royal Woods Roosters vs the Hazeltucky Hawkers" replied Gunther. "Oh, and I made good friends with Lynn Jr. I didn't know she was a girl."
Lincoln sighs. "Gunther, Lynn is a girl."
"Then why does she have junior in her name?" asked Gunther. This whole thing gave them the full belief of Gunther not being that smart at times.
"Okay, so all we gotta do now is wait for my sisters" said Kick. Then Kick gets hugged from behind by Sam. "Hey there little bro!"
Kick chuckles. "Hey to you as well sis. So how was the rest of school?"
Sam puts Kick down. "All good, my band wanted to ask more about you, and let's just say the Dazzles were stoked in telling them as well."
Then Kick is hugged by Sonata. "Hey there little buddy!" Kick just chuckles at this, he then sees Adagio and Aria.
"Yup, this is gonna become a thing now. Oh and I gotta do some studying soon. Big test next week" replied Kick.
Lincoln chuckles at this sight, then Luna does the same and hugs him from behind. "Sorry bro, if they were doing it, then so will I."
Lincoln laughs. "Okay sis, I get it." Linka, Jordan and Timmy chuckle at this.
"Seems like it's gonna be one heck a sibling bonding thing as this whole life goes on" replied Linka.
"Damn right there sis" replied Timmy.
Then they all hear a truck honk. "Hey there kids. Get in, surprise gift time!" They all head to the truck and hop in. Since there wasn't enough room, some of them rode with Sam and Luna in they're rides.
(Somewhere at the newly rebuilt Royal Woods sewage plant)
The vehicles stop and they all get out.
You see, after the events of Chandler and his goons. Mr. McCann and his wife have left Royal Woods, which meant that the whole sewage plant was bought by FutureTech and is now replaced with this environmentally friendly sewage plant, the water itself wasn't gross or filled with disease.
Instead it has been used as a source of renewable water and also a power station.
They all look to the bridge and the gully underneath. "So, what are we doing here?" asked Sam.
"Huh, this place kinda remind me of our old Gulley hang out" said Gunther.
Peter chuckles. "Well look down there."
They all look underneath the bridge and are shocked to see this small hang out area.
With a large bridge looking platform with a steel roof and some walls, a large couch with a cooler, some posters and other stunt related stuff. Near it the gully is almost empty and acts as a skate ramp, but only for those who could take it to the extreme and sort of gross.
Kick and Gunther were at a loss for words, they were shocked at what they were looking at. "Dad, is this …. Our hang out?"
"Well, yes and no. You see Kick, I couldn't be able to move the old Gully hang out you and Gunther like to use, so I was able to grab the stuff that was there, fixed up the couch and placed them all here in this make shift Gully hang out that me and Magnus setup overnight" replied Peter.
Gunther looks to Peter with shock. "My dad helped you?!"
"He sure did, let's just say we both know exactly how good your friendship for each other is, and he might have also made friends with Lynn Loud Sr" replied Peter. "Also, think of this here, as a late and early birthday gift from me and your old Viking man to you two."
Then Peter is hugged by Kick and Gunther, though Gunther's hug was a bit too tight. "Okay you two, go and have some fun."
Kick grabbed his skateboard and Gunther carried Kick's bike. "Let's go guys!" said Kick. He skateboards to the wall and makes his way to the new hang out.
They all know the gully there is clean, so what the heck?! Let's go then!
Peter watches as the kids and teens have a fun time in their little hang out in the gulley, which they call the Daredevil's Gully.
Looks like Kick is gonna love this whole new life and his new family with it.
To be continued …..
A/N: Aftermath complete, and we are close to the birthday of our favorite pink hatted, buck tooth ten year old, who will soon become eleven! And don't think I totally forgot about Scarlet Rosetti and April from Mellowbrook, chances we will see them visiting Kick. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
