Keep reading till the Authors notes.
(Royal Woods Elementary, Monday.)
Lincoln, Linka and Timmy arrive to the school. They meet up with Jordan who arrives via her mom's van.
"Thanks mom, and good luck with the new cooking class your teaching" said Jordan.
"Thank you sweetie." Jesse then spots a female Faunus with her child, the mother has some cat whiskers and her son has a cat tail. "Hi there Miyaki, see you later in class!"
The Faunus woman waves at her and she escorts her son into the school.
Lincoln, Linka and Timmy smile. "Looks like this is the beginning of something good for everyone real fast" said Timmy.
"You said it bro" replied Linka.
Lincoln and Jordan hug and then share a small kiss. "So, you're mom gonna teach a new batch of students?"
"She is, and many of them are Faunus. They have a lot to learn in cooking in this world and they'll be surprised just how great the food can be here" replied Jordan.
Linka then approaches them. "Sorry to interrupt, but do you guys recall that we have to do some school orientation for the new kids here?"
Lincoln and Jordan smile. "Let's do it then." The three kids Pokemon are back at home.
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan go to three groups of kids, Principal Huggins asked them if they could show the Faunus children everything about the school and how to not get lost and try to keep track of the rules. At first they were thinking of letting Lisa do it, but then they changed they're mind.
"Well, this is it. Time to show em just how great this school can be" said Lincoln.
Timmy checks his watch. "Well, I gotta get going. Gunther said he's gonna be busy all day with football practice, so he asked me to help Kick get ready for the Royal Woods Spelling Bee before the last week of April."
"Good luck Timmy, and try to keep up with Kick" said Lincoln.
"Bro, I got this. Trust me" Timmy heads for the school, but then he gets grabbed by Kick who enters the school on his skateboard. "Come on Timmy, time for me to get my Spelling bee on."
"Well, there they go" said Jordan. "And now it's time for us to go."
They get to their assigned group and then lead them into the school, they also assured to the parents that they will watch over them and make sure they stay out of trouble.
As they all head into the school, a car rolls in and Rocky Spokes comes out, he has his headphones on and meets up with Lucy.
Next to come out was Rusty Spokes, all the students stop chatting and look towards him and start whispering.
Many of them gave him a scornful look, some of the girls were either afraid to go near him or are giving him the stink eye.
Rusty realized that his time in school is not going to be good again, he may be back from his suspension but things are still not gonna go back to the way it was.
His father Roland watches from his car and sighs. 'What am I gonna do? Move to a new town? Rocky wouldn't even want to do that.' He then drives away from the school and back to his work.
Inside the school, Lincoln, Linka and Jordan split up and tour the kids to different parts of the school. From the Gym, Cafeteria, the classrooms and the door that leads to Principal Huggins office.
They were all fascinated by this school and what it could offer for them, education, friends and some fun. Some of them also see the poster announcing the incoming spelling bee.
Some of the kids did have some smarts and felt like they wanna be part of it, a name was already signed on it. "Kick Sharp."
Many of them ask if they have any lessons on Grimm, they told them they don't. Grimm do not exist on earth and they will learn some other things that aren't Remnant based. This was turning new for them all, but they knew they had to go through with this new and better life for them.
Lincoln then brings the kids through a hallway near his locker. "Okay guys, so here are the schedules to your assigned classrooms. You're all in the fifth graders since we got to know your ages."
They all took their papers with class schedules and headed off to their classrooms before the bell could ring, then one little Faunus kid with antlers hugs Lincoln. "Thank you for giving our families a new life here mister."
Lincoln smiles and rubs pats her head. "You're welcome, now run along before the bell rings." The little Faunus girl runs off to her classroom.
"That was so sweet of you" Lincoln turns around and sees Jordan and Linka.
"Hey girls, so how did it go?" asked Lincoln.
"Pretty well if you ask me. The fourth grader Faunus kids were excited to make new friends in their class" replied Linka.
"The third grader Faunus kids really liked it when I would show them some of the fun places here in the school, mostly the playground" replied Jordan.
Lincoln chuckles. "Well, we should get going to our class before we-" He stops talking and sees someone he does not like.
"What's wrong bro?" asked Linka. She also turns around and backs away in both fear and anger.
Jordan sighs and doesn't turn around, she knows who it was. "Spokes, Rusty Spokes!"
Rusty stops in place, his locker is nearing Lincoln, Linka and Jordan's lockers and he did not want to pick a fight with two Spelman twins and a Dodge ball Rosato. "H-Hey guys, I was j-just gonna get to m-my locker."
Lincoln was about to say something, but then Clyde arrives dressed as the junior administrator. "Ahem, Mr. Spokes, your locker has been transferred." He hands Rusty a paper. "This is the number of your new locker and the code to it. Please leave these kids alone, now."
Rusty wanted to say something else, but he decides not to and leaves them be. Lincoln could see the angered looks from Linka and Jordan, though Linka was holding onto his hand tightly.
Lincoln then knows, it was now or never. "Rusty."
Rusty stops walking but doesn't turn around. Jordan, Linka and Clyde look to Lincoln confused.
"Rusty Spokes, I wanna meet you at the back of the school after class. I just wanna talk, no fighting and no acts of violence. Just you and me talking. Okay?" said Lincoln.
Rusty gulps, but he sucks it up. "Sure, okay man." He then walks to his new locker.
Lincoln sighs in relief. He was glad he got that out his chest and train of thoughts. "What the heck was that about?" asked Jordan.
"Yeah, I thought we still hated him?" said Clyde.
Linka understands what he was trying to do. "Linc, if you're willing to go through it, then so am I."
Lincoln smiles. "Thanks Linka." He then looks to Jordan. "I know you hate him, and you have every right to hate him. But I have to put an end to this madness, I don't want someone risking their own lives getting out casted like that, and it wasn't truly his fault."
Jordan sighs, but she still was upset. "Okay, okay. Do what you have to do Lincoln. But know that I still don't like him, nor will I ever forgive him."
Lincoln kisses her cheek. "I understand Jordan."
Then they hear the sound of the school bell. "And that would be first period. We should get to Mrs. Johnson's now and there has to be some Faunus kids we have to meet" said Clyde.
They all make their way to their classroom.
(Later, Cafeteria.)
Many of the Faunus are chatting with the students and learning so much about this world.
Some of them are questioning why Lisa is always curious and asking some questions about them, until she got a warning glare from Principal Huggins.
Lisa is not to ask for DNA samples. The results would be a hard talk with her parents and Martin McKenzie.
Lucy was able to find a few Goth-like Faunus friends to join the young Morticians club. One of them has bat wings. Wicked!
Lola and Lana manage to make some new friends, as well as their pal. Meli Ramos.
Some of Jordan's gal pals are chatting with some Sixth grader Faunus kids, they loved making some new friends and asking them all about the life they had in Remnant.
Clyde is chatting with some of the other students who are joining the Spelling bee and the incoming baseball game for Royal Woods Elementary.
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan enter the cafeteria and they smile seeing everyone getting along and eating lunch.
They spot Timmy and Kick on another table doing some spelling bee training while they eat.
"Guys! Over here!" yelled Tabby. The trio head to the table and sit with them.
"So, this is a new start for everyone" said Zach.
"I'll say this sure is some wildlife comings to this school!" said Giggles. Lincoln, Linka and Jordan were not amused by her pun.
"Don't worry fellas. The Faunus actually liked my puns and didn't mind if it mentioned about them. I just have to make sure I don't push it" replied Giggles.
"Okay, just please don't make it sound bad. One slip up and things could get worse" replied Jordan.
"Speaking of worse. Did ya'll see Rusty today?" said Liam.
"I sure did and sure as heck I am not talking or hanging out with that guy" said Stella.
"Same" replied the others.
But then Linka speaks up. "Lincoln is planning to talk to him after school."
Liam and Tabby spit out their apple juice onto Zach and Giggles.
"Seriously?" asked Zach.
"Now we smell as fresh as apples" joked Giggles.
"Why are you going to talk to him Lincoln?" asked Stella.
"Have you lost your blaming mind? Do you recall what the heck he did?" said Tabby.
"She's right, I sure ain't gonna make him hang out in the farm again" replied Liam.
Lincoln then puts his fist down, "Guys, please." they all remain silent. "I wanna try and make things right again. I know he didn't mean what he did and I also wanna make some new plans regarding our old friend Rusty Spokes, I know what I'm doing and no I am not gonna fight him."
"Well duh! He's not strong enough to fight you dude" said Zach.
"And he'll be pummeled by your sisters with ease" replied Giggles.
"I know, I know. I just need to know if he's doing okay and try and fix all of this, before things escalate" replied Lincoln.
They all now Lincoln's Man-with-the-Plan persona and his tactical instincts, so they have to trust him.
"Okay then bud, if that's what you want" replied Liam.
"Whatever you say mate" said Tabby.
"Just be cautious around him, he might still be his dumb girl flirt self" replied Stella.
"And try not to get into too much of his convincing words" said Zach.
"Otherwise it'll be convinced to do some more talking" joked Giggles.
"Guys, I know what to do and I know he won't do anything crazy, besides running" replied Lincoln.
"That is true" replied Jordan.
"He's not the athletic type after all" replied Linka.
Then they spot the boy come into the school, he then sits at a lone chair and table and eats his buffalo chips and orange juice.
Some of the student's decided to ignore him, even the Faunus kids as well. Lincoln notices this. 'Looks like word got out fast. Dang it!'
Then someone with roller skates comes into the cafeteria but passes by Rusty. It was his ex-girlfriend Polly Pain and she looked like she just finished skating around a while track, in which she did.
Rusty sighs and goes back to eating his food. He knows that it'll be a long while before he can hang out with her again.
Polly however felt hurt seeing Rusty nearby, it hurt her knowing all the trouble he caused to her two friends. Even though she hates him for what he did, she also felt bad to the fact his dad taught him all that stupid flirting stuff.
Clyde decided to change the subject. "So, how was WrestleMania?" The others also wanted to hear about this.
Lincoln and Linka told them about what happened, from getting autographs from superstars to Sergei's loss at the battle royal. But he didn't mind, at least Sergei eliminated King Corbin, Mojo Rowley, Curt Hawkins, Kane and aided Rusev in eliminating Bobby Lashley, until Sergei was eliminated by Luke Harper, which infuriated Rusev.
The one thing they left out was to the fact Stone Cold Steve Austin is related to them and the kiss Lincoln got from the Bella Twins, he did not want Jordan to know otherwise he's dead.
But Lincoln and Linka decided not to ask their mom about Steve Austin, they'll save that for another time.
(Skip, after school.)
Rusty spokes is waiting by the back of the school, all of the kids and Faunus children are all heading home, or waiting to be picked up by their parents.
Rusty then checks his watch. "I guess he was just bluffing." He was about to walk away, but then someone lands from the school roof. "Rusty Spokes."
Rusty turns around and sees it was Lincoln, he had fear seeing the white haired boy. "Hey Lincoln, so you wanted to talk?"
Lincoln sighs. "Yeah, look I know all of this. The whole incident where it all turned crazy, was the one thing I did not like. I trusted you as my friend for some time and that was after I became friend with Clyde and Liam."
Rusty did recall all the good times hanging out with his friends.
"You pervetedly messed with my girlfriend and accidentally humiliated my twin sister, and all of that was the boiling point that led to all of this …. Madness you've been facing" said Lincoln.
Rusty looks down in sadness, he was awaiting what other words Lincoln is bring ing down upon him. "But, I am willing to at least try and forgive you Rusty" replied Lincoln.
Rusty looks to Lincoln and was shocked. "W-What?"
"You heard me Spokes. I am willing to try and make you a friend again, but there will be some complications to them" replied Lincoln.
Rusty was nervous once more. "What sort of complications?"
"First off, Jordan still hates you and wants to one day get even with you in the most brutal way she can think of" replied Lincoln.
That was not what Rusty wanted to hear.
"Secondly, are our friends Liam, Tabby, Zach, Giggles, Stella and Jordan and Linka's friends al do not wanna be around you anymore, which also means that they don't wanna hang out or have fun with you anywhere. But I will have to try and reason with them to give you another chance, okay" said Lincoln.
Rusty sighs. "That one I totally understand man.
Anything else man?"
"Third, my family. After what you did none of them are willing to show you or your dad any mercy. Luna is being the most protective of them all, same is Leni. Linka however is also willing to forgive you, but she does not wanna hang out with you" replied Lincoln.
Rusty sighs once more. "Another thing I seem to know and fear."
"The final thing you should know is everything that has been around you" replied Lincoln.
Rusty knows, the people and some kids defying him, and the new Faunus kids now know of what he did. "So, I guess my social life is also ruined."
Lincoln sighs. "That part will not be easy and it won't be a walk in the park for all of them to forget either."
"I know, and I am willing to let it all in. I gotta learn to step up in my way, and not be my dad" replied Rusty.
Lincoln smiles. "Good job Spokes, and speaking of Dad's. How's your old man?"
"Oh, well his business isn't booming as it used to. Not many people want him to wash and/or dry clean their clothes, I just hope we don't have to move. Rocky and Lucy won't like it at all" replied Rusty.
"I'll see what I can do with that. But remember, we can still be friends, but trust from me and the others is something you have to work hard on to gain. Got it?" said Lincoln.
"Got it man, and thanks for …. Forgiving me Lincoln. And I am so sorry for what id di to Jordan and Linka. It was so, so stupid of me" Rusty looks down, but then he tries to regain his confidence to be a friend again back into his thoughts.
Then they hear the sound of a car horn. "Rusty! Time to go home now!" yelled Roland.
"Well, looks like my ride is here" he looks to Lincoln. See you tomorrow man." He then runs to his dad's car.
Roland spots Lincoln with his arms crossed and he sees s smile coming from his son, he hasn't seen his older son smile since he was suspended from school. Roland knew, this was just the start to the road to redemption. They then drive off back home.
Then Luna and Leni's car arrives. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Luna, hey Leni" replied Lincoln and Linka with some smiles.
"You guys ready to head home?" asked Leni. "We are sis" replied Linka as she hops onto the Vulture Bike sidecar.
"Yo Jordan, you wanna tag along too?" asked Luna.
"Sure, why not" replied Jordan. She hops into her car and Lincoln heads to the Vulture Bike and they drive off and wave goodbye to their friends.
"So bro, how was it to tour some kids all about Royal Woods Elementary?" asked Luna.
"Perhaps we should tell you guys when we get home, and maybe you guys can tell us how you all did with helping the teenage Faunus tour the high school" said Linka.
"Now that sounds like a plan" replied Leni.
"Also, where the heck is Sunset?" asked Jordan.
"She said she was gonna stay behind and get ready for the big spelling bee in the Royal Woods High school" replied Luna.
"You guys too? We have on in the elementary! This is gonna be interesting" replied Linka.
Then Lincoln gets a text from his phone. It was from Luna Loud, from another realm. He reads the text. "My little bro and his girlfriend got into some major fears during the weekend, can you come on by and see if you can help cheer them up?"
Lincoln sighs. The others notice this. "Someone needs your help bro?" asked Linka.
Lincoln nods.
"Is it the other Lincoln?" asked Luna.
"Yeah, he's in trouble and needs some help" replied Lincoln.
"Then let's get you back home and you can sort this all out!" replied Leni.
They all make their way at great speed, back to Spellman Estate.
