Spells and Louds
Chapter 301: Peter Sharp
(May 11. Sharp house.)
Peter is about to head on home after a whole day at helping train Manny Rivera and Frida Suarez. 'Those two kids are damn good at what they do, they have to improve on their tag team and find the right combo to match their fighting styles in case.'
Peter is about to park his truck into the drive way. But then he sees Gyro looking at him. "What the heck is that retard doing here?"
Then Gyro's hands are glowing. "What the fuck is he doing?!"
And Gyro opens a portal and Peter backs up into it. "Oh shit." He then looks to Gyro in anger. "When I get back, I'm gonna nail you're bal-"
Peter was gone and Gyro closes the portal. "That should keep him occupied, for now and I should be careful for when he comes back." He then heads to the back of the house.
At the back of the Sharp house all of them are setting up everything for Peter Sharp's Birthday.
All the decorations are special streamer paper from Runeterra, it will burn and still keep burning in place until said to burn out. Talk about a fiery décor. Peter's Rapidash is the one adding the fire to the streamers.
Leon and Sergei are both busy cooking western style food and also some tex-mex food. "Why are we cooking? Neil is the one who knows Peter better than us" asked Leon.
"No clue, but this is awesome! I get to make some kind of mix cuisine!" said Sergei as he then dips the chicken into the oil vat. "Where the heck are those sliced tomatoes?"
Courage arrives with all of the sliced veggies. "Jeez, where did you learn to slice this good?"
Next to the makeshift cooking station is the large cake, decorated with some western and music style and on top is a small edible figurine of Peter as Ghost Rider.
"Dad is so going to love this!" said Sonata.
"And to think, this is going to be his 40th birthday, though he is also going to be 151 as well. He has been through so much and he deserves some new found friends and family time" said Adagio.
"He sure does, what flavor is this again?" asked Aria.
"Caramel, Chocolate and Rum cake" replied Carol who checks on her clipboard. "You girls ready for the big song performance later?"
"We so are!" said Sonata.
"All we need now is Ember and Sam" said Aria.
"They are the ones who came up with the song, and they know dad way better than any of us" replied Adagio.
"Awesome" Carol then goes through her clipboard again. "Do we have the mechanical bull ride?"
"Here she is" Martin shows them the lower half of a hammer tank and the head replaced by a mechanical bull ride.
"What is that?" asked Carol.
"The mechanical bull ride!" said Penny.
"Why is it like that?" asked Carol.
"Well, Peter is a guy who like to take things to the extreme, so we built this for him to ride on and see how long he can last" replied Martin.
Carol looks towards the tank mounted bull ride, the fence surrounding it is made up of steel. "Okay, who's driving this monster?"
The tank hatch opens. "Me!" yelled Boomer.
Carol sighs. "Of course he would be the one driving it." She then goes around and checks on everything.
Kick and Gunther see this. "I am so going to rid that thing" said Kick.
"Same, it can't be as hard as riding a woolly saber-toothed deer" said Gunther.
Neil is confused by this. "What did you just say?"
Carol then looks around. "We have the food ready, though some of them are still cooking. Some of our guests are here, and I think most of them brought gifts for the occasion. The big musical performance will also be set and ready, now where the heck are Sam and Ember?"
Lori arrives with her clipboard. "Carol, Ember is coming down from her room and she'll be out soon, but the real ish here is, I have no clue where Sam is."
"What? Did you ask any of the others if they have seen her?" asked Carol.
"I did, they haven't seen her either" said Lori. They were both worried, they knew Sam was the one key that would make this birthday really spark and not just because of her powers.
Then Carol notices something, the horse stables where the electric and ice steeds were supposed to be. "Guys, where are those elemental horses?"
Boomer sees this as well. "Oh, Sam and Luna took them out for a nice stroll, they'll be back soon."
They all look to Boomer. "You knew where Sam was and didn't tell us?" asked Lori.
"You didn't ask" said Boomer.
"I literally did ten minutes ago when you got here!" said Lori.
Boomer also realizes this. "Oh, I guess I forgot."
Lori then points her hadn towards him and shoots out some lava, Boomer screams in pain. "Idiot!"
"Wow, the party has begun and this shit is already turning funny" chuckled Leon.
"And I thought I was the one bringing in some comedy!" said Luan. "Still, are you guys sure I can't do some jokes?"
"We're certain Luan, the last thing we want is some of your jokes sounding racist and mean to Peter" replied Victor.
Lori and Carol look around then to each other. "Let's hope wherever Sam and Luna are, they get back here fast" said Lori.
"Maybe we should give them some time, this is Peter's betray in which Sam never knew he lived for a long, long time. Let her have some time to think" said Carol.
Ember then comes out with her fiddle and sees what almost transpired. "What did I miss?"
(With Luna and Sam.)
Luna and Sam are taking a nice stroll in the neighborhood on their elemental steeds, Glace and Sparks.
Luna could tell Sam felt troubled. "You okay babe?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine" replied Sam.
Luna knows she wasn't. "No it isn't. What's wrong Sam?"
Sam sighs. "It's just, it's another year for dad's birthday, and another year without my mom or my brother Simon, moving on is … Hard, dad seems to be doing well. I think he might ask Ember to marry him."
"They just met last year. I'm sure he isn't gonna ask her to take the next step of their relationship that further" said Luna.
Sam thinks about it. "Yeah, I guess it's just me. I'm glad I have this new family to be with. Three sisters who are close to my age, well they will be soon, a little bro who's cool and at times bonds with me and a Rockstar ghost mother figure who I might as well just call mom. I guess I'm going through some things that haven't changed in a long, long time."
Luna then sees that they were now close to the Sharp house. "Well, whatever happens Sammy, just try and be there for your dad. You're the last piece of true blood family he has, and you should be proud that you two still have each other."
Sam smiles. "Thanks babe, I needed that and this nice stroll. Really takes out all of the worries out of me."
But Luna knows there is a lot more to this than just Sam's mom and little bro not with them, this was the 40th birthday of Peter Sharp, and ever since he told his secret, this is his 151th birthday. He's lived that long since he sold his soul to become ghost rider.
"You ready to sing that song with Ember and the Dazzles?" asked Luna as they close in on the house.
Sam smiles and has a confident look. "Heck yeah I am. Though, dad said he was gonna make a speech before something big happens at his party, I overheard him last night in his office."
Luna and Sam then see someone waiting for them drinking a can of beer. "Is that Stone cold Steve Austin?" asked Sam.
"What the heck is that dude doing here?" asked Luna.
The WWE Hall of Famer spots them and waves. "Glad you all came, now let's hurry this up before you're pa gets here."
"Umm, what are you doing here sir?" asked Sam.
"Okay, now I know I ain't family to your dad and whatever shit he's done. But the one thing I like to see, is a grown Texan blood man going through new life and future. Also, someday in the future you might be related to the Spellman's and I am related to that family as well" said Stone Cold.
Luna and Sam knew he wasn't wrong about that one, it's only a matter of time before Luna and Sam think about their future when it comes. They both follow him to the back and they see all of their friends and family ready for Peter Sharp to come back.
"Glad you girls are here, let's get this thing started" said Lori.
Sam and Luna hop off their steeds and Stone Cold takes the horses into their stables. "Where's Ember?" asked Sam.
"She's over there by the stage" replied Carol.
Sam gets to the stage and grabs her acoustic.
Gyro then checks his watch, it was almost four-thirty. "Alright everyone! I'm sending him back here!"
They all nod their heads and get ready. "Send that Texan blood man back here!" yelled Neil.
Gyro opens up a portal and Peter's Truck comes out and inside is Peter, looking a bit angry but okay. But something was off about the condition of his truck, it had some plants and blood.
"Where the heck did you send him?" asked Gwen.
Gyro realized where he might have sent him. "I may have sent his truck to Runeterra."
"Where in Runeterra?" asked Becky.
Gyro looked closely. "Well judging by that plant species I'd say somewhere in Ionia. Sorry."
Peter opens his truck. "You darn right you're sorry you son of a bitch! I had to fight my way through so many fucking Noxian guys! And … " He sees the party. "Oh, so this is why you sent me away, okay understandable."
They all sighed in relief and greeted him a happy birthday. Peter goes around and was happy for all them to be there, and he liked the way the decorations kept burning, and all of the food that seems familiar and delicious.
Then he grabs himself a nice mug of whiskey and heads up the stage with everyone saying. "Speech! Speech! Speech!"
"Alright. Alright. Simmer down now people" said Peter. They all remained silent.
"Wow, my 40th birthday and in truth my 151st birthday! Damn it's been that long. And I should be honest with ya'll, May 11 is not my official birthday."
They all remain in confused silence. Sam and Ember are also confused.
"What?" asked Boomer.
"I was born … on May the 3rd" said Peter.
This makes them shock. "Then …. Then why are we celebrating it late?!" asked Sam with concern.
"Darlin' calm down please, I was born in the west a hundred and fifty one years ago in Texas. That was my past. That was my old life. That was the damned lively hood I had, and that was the life that cursed me into a life of crime. But May 11, the reason why I told a lie that my birthday was on that day, is because that was the day I came into this world and started my new life. With all of you as my friends and family, and even though I …. Sam and I lost so much, I am damn proud of the new family we have forged right now. So, I guess ya'll can say that May 11, is the rebirth of myself into your world and I am ever so greatful I came here and became the man I stand before you all right now!"
They all clapped for this moment.
Sam puts her guitar down and hugs her dad. "Easy there Sam, it's okay."
They all continued to cheer form this speech he made, which was also the truth about his birthday, and now they don't have to feel bad they missed his real date of birth.
"Now how about that song you and the others were planning to make for me?" asked Peter.
Sam breaks the hug and goes to Ember and the Dazzles, they were all dressed in a western style clothing.
Peter gets down from the stage and Sam goes to the microphone. "This song is for my dad, and the home he once rode through, in this life or his old life."
Sam strums her guitar.
Sam: Take me to Texas.
Two Hundred Years ago.
Where a pride rose from the ashes of San Jacinto.
It still beats in every heart.
Like a Battle cry.
Where I was born, where I was raised, so when I die.
Sam and the Dazzles: Take me to Texas! On the open range!
The Rio Grande is in my veins.
It's heaven there and so my prayer.
Is that you'll take me anywhere to Texas.
The only home I know.
I'm a child of the Alamo and the yellow road.
So when I go.
Sam: Take me to Texas.
Where my daddy worked.
Where his blood and sweat and tears are still in that red dirt.
Wild Palominos run.
Cowboys are kings!
And if I stray too far, I'll let my lone star dreams!
Sam and the Dazzles: Take me to Texas! On the open range!
The Rio Grande is in my veins.
It's heaven there and so my prayer.
Is that you'll take me anywhere to Texas.
The only home I know.
I'm a child of the Alamo and the yellow road.
So when I go. Take me to Texas!
(Ember Fiddle solo.)
Sam: There's something in the sky.
And in your mamma's eyes.
So even if you try to move away.
You'll end up on some road somewhere.
With your thumb in the air.
When they ask you where you're headed, you'll just say.
Sam and the Dazzles: Take me to Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio.
Houston, Laredo, Galveston.
Or Austin, maybe Abilene.
The closest thing I've ever seen.
To Heaven's the Gulf of Mexico.
I'm a child of the Alamo and the yellow road.
So when I go.
Take me to Texas!
Sam: mm-hmm.
Take me to Texas!
Oh, take me to Texas!
Take me to Texas.
And it ends with one last fiddle from Ember. They all clap and cheer at this song, and Peter gets on stage with some tears and he hugs them. Kick also gets on stage and hugs them as well.
"Now this is what I call a Texan blood song meant to be" said Lincoln.
"This seems way better than my birthday last month" said Gunther.
"Yeah… Wait what?" said Timmy.
Some of them look to Gunther. "What? Oh, my birthday was on April twenty eight, I'm thirteen now."
"Why didn't you tell us man?" asked Luna.
"I wasn't supposed to, to my family a thirteenth birthday must be celebrated with our family in our home land and through the most dreadful trials. Also, it's a symbol to my next step in manliness, that's why Kick didn't go. I told him not too and he understood, it's my family tradition" said Gunther.
They had no clue what else to say, but they have to respect his wishes that they weren't there for his birthday. They do not want to see how he does this manliness trial.
"You are one strange kid" said Stone Cold.
"So glad we were able to celebrate Adelaide's birthday before this" said Linka.
Lincoln looks to Jordan. "I wonder when you're gonna show Ronnie Anne and the others Dominic."
"Well, I got no plans tomorrow after school. Let's do it tomorrow then" replied Jordan. Dominic growls as he eats a large beef steak.
"Now that's what I call eating like a beast" said Boomer. Then Dominic looks to him in anger, Boomer realizes this was bad. "Oh shit." And he's ravaged by the Indoraptor, again.
Everyone just enjoys the rest of the party, all while completely ignoring Boomer getting mauled. "Can someone help me over here?! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
