Spells and Louds

Chapter 306: Happy 3rd Birthday Lily

(May 16. Spunk E. Pigeon's Pizza Palooza Paradise.)

Neil and Gwen are both looking around at the place they just used as the venue for Lily's birthday.

"Gwen, what's this feeling in my soul about all of this?" asked Neil.

Gwen sighs. "I think its regret. Regret making this place the venue for our little girl's birthday."

Expand the scenario and we are inside one of the only animatronics restaurant and second pizzeria arcade in Royal Woods.

There are like a lot of kids playing running around screaming, laughing and yelling.

Though there is of course the private party area, if it was even private because a lot of kids are everywhere.

"This is just ….. This is just insane" said Gwen, some toddlers run past her and they were covered in pizza.

"I am so glad Faunus don't come here, or even work here" said Neil.

Martin stands next to them with a soda. "Probably because they heard of this place and heard how chaotic it can be, and the one thing they can't handle is total chaos. Reminds them of the Grimm attacks on Remnant. Also some of these little monsters wanna know what's glowing on my chest, I am this close to going Tech Sektor on this shit hole."

"Take it easy and calm down, ignore them and find a safe spot to enjoy yourself" replied Neil.

"Where? This whole pizzeria is now the modern day equivalent to No man's land" replied Martin.

Neil sighs. "Well, Leon looks like he's' having fun" They all look to the ball pit where Lana and Lola are playing with Lily. Leon volunteered to watch over her, big mistake. Leon is sinking into the ball pit!

"No! No! Tell my story!"

"Dramatic much" said Lola.

"What's his problem?" asked Lana.

Lily laughs and tosses some balls around and Lola and Lana join in. Lisa watches from the sidelines. "I knew this was a deathtrap."

"Better yet, Sand trap!" joked Luan. "And even though I'm fifteen, I have no regrets jumping into action!" Luan leaps into the ball pit and joins in the fun with Lola, Lana and Lily.

"Simpletons" groaned Lisa. "I'm starting to regret coming here, they should be lucky the pizza is the only reason many would actually come."

Dana sees Leon drowning from the table booth, alongside Leni, Loni, Becky, Carol and Lori.

"So, you gonna go save him?" asked Becky.

Dana chuckles nervously. "Oh he's fine. I think. I'll check on him later."

"You know, now that I'm no longer the airheaded teen I once was, I'm starting to see the down from this place. It's really messy" said Leni.

"Same, not much has changed and it's similar to the one in my world. But at least this one has its seats cleaned of all thing's sticky and gross" replied Loni.

Lori sighs. "I am literally questioning why your mom and dad would use this place for the venue. We just come here for the pizza and arcade games, not for the madness. Okay so Lola and Lana come here for that one, and also Lily." They then look to see Lily happy. "At least she's happy."

"Didn't Bobby used to work here one before?" asked Carol.

"He did and he quitted after three days. He never told me why and I never bothered to pushing him with said question" Lori then looks around. "And now I know why."

"I'm starting to feel like this place should be replaced or something" said Becky. She then dodges an incoming thrown slice of pizza. "Or destroyed."

Sunset and Luna then take a seat with them. "Hey guys, how're you all holding up?" asked Luna.

"Not so good" said Leni.

"I hate this place, so much" said Loni.

"Makes me wanna forget this place was never here" said Lori.

"I wanna burn this place" said Becky.

Dana looks to the ball pit. "Leons been in there for way too long." She then gets up. "I better go and see what happened to him." Dana then walks towards the ball pit and almost gets tripped over by some running kids.

"So, I guess we're all in agreement" said Luna. "This place is bogus and stinks."

"Yeah" said Sunset. They notice she's looking away from the stage and feeling nervous.

"Are you okay?" asked Lori.

"No, no I am not. Why the heck doe Royal Woods have animatronics?!" said Sunset.

Becky is confused by this. "Did you play a video game involving this?"

Sunset sighs and nods. "Yeah, I did and I screamed from every jump scare from every psychopathic animatronic."

"I think I recall little bro saying what the game was, I think it's called Five Night's Freddy's" said Luna. "I know you played the game from you're game stream. How many sequels of the game did you play?"

"All seven" replied sunset. "FNaF's 1, FNaF's 2, FNaF's 3, FNaF's 4, Sister's Location, FNaF's Ultimate Custom Night and FNaF's Pizzeria Simulator. But I swear I was not in it for the scares, I was only in it for the lore of the game!"

"Well, I guess going through jump scare city was worth it huh?" asked Carol.

"Some part of me wishes for that to never happen again, ever" said Sunset.

"You're not terrified of animatronics now are you?" asked Leni.

"No phobias about them. Just complete slight fear about them, they are weird and disturbing" said Sunset.

Luna then sees someone not looking happy about the place. "Looks like little Adelaide is not liking how crazy the place is."

They also notice this. "Well, she has been raised by a mom who's good with animals and now with dinosaurs and a dad who conducts the Great Lake City Underground railway station" replied Lori.

"Poor kid" said Loni.

But then they see Loona and Sergei with Fenrir and Felicia escorting her through the chaos and leading her to the ball pit.

"Thanks for helping me, I told Sid I was fine being her by myself and told her to go and play with her friends. I guess I was wrong" said Adelaide as she wipes away her tears.

They then make it to the ball pit and Loona goes down to her level and wipes away her tears. "No tears now kid, go on and play with your real and less chaotic friends."

Adelaide smiles. "Thank you." She then hops into the ball pit and joins in with Lana, Lola and Lily.

Sergei and Loona smiled at this. Sergei then looks to his wife. "You're becoming really great with kids now." He hands her the pups.

"What can I say? After spending a lot of time with our own bundles of joy have made me softer but still protective" replied Loona. She can see her pups not wanting to go down and wander around, they didn't like how crazy everything was. "Also, where the heck is Becca and Stanley Chang anyway?"

"They're busy at work. So they sent Sid along with Ronnie Anne, Carlota, Frida, Carlos, Carlitos, CJ and Carl to come here instead. Bobby couldn't come he's busy and same with Maria Santiago" replied Sergei.

"Glad they didn't bring the pet fox, cat and little ones. Otherwise there'd be chaos" said Loona.

"Same with all the Pokemon. Best to have them stay out of this madness" replied Sergei. "By the way, where the heck is Blitzo, and the rest of I.M.P?"

"Not coming, I made sure of it. I do not want my so-called dad to be here and act all stupid and snarky and at times rude" said Loona. Loona then sees Dana pulling someone out of the ball pit. "Is that your brother stuck in the ball pit?"

Sergei sees this. "For fuck sake with this. Hang on dingus! I'm coming!" Sergei removes his jacket and dives into the ball pit and starts doing some butterfly strokes in the ball pit.

"What the heck is this pit made of? Water balls?" asked Loona.

Luan chuckles. "Good one!"

Loona sighs. "I wonder how the others are doing."

At the arcade section. Lincoln, Linka, Timmy and Jordan are enjoying themselves with some video games and with them are some of their friends.

Clyde, Liam, Tabby, Zach, Polly, Stella, Mollie, Sadie, Joy, Lance, Trent, Kat, Artie, Cookie, Ronnie Anne, Sid, CJ and Carl.

"Well, this place reminds me of Gus' Games n' Grub" said Lincoln.

Linka finishes her game and picks up Courage. "Only this place is crazy. At least the kids don't go through here."

Timmy beats Clyde at racing. "This is the only place that seems less delusional and more peaceful."

"You guys have no idea how crazy this place can be, and this is just a small birthday get together" said Clyde.

"The chaps right. From what I heard when this place hosts more than one birthday, the apocalypse rises here and it turns into a war zone!" said Tabby.

Polly notices something. "Where the heck is Giggles? I thought she was here with us?"

Zach drinks his soda. "She went back to the party room and try to entertain the crowd, I hope she's fine." They then see Giggles juggling some balls from the ball pit and tossing them over to Luan.

"Nope, she's as clownish as Luan" said Jordan.

"I'm kinda confused by this restaurant. I thought it would be family friendly" said Sid.

"It is, sometimes" said Ronnie Anne.

"Hey Ronnie Anne!" said CJ. "Carl and I are gonna go to the animatronics and watch them perform, we don't know much about them. Can you tell us?"

"Sure CJ" said Ronnie Anne. She then explains each animatronic on stage. "There's the lead guitarist/singer that's Spunk E. Pigeon, Errol Mack the fish is on backup vocals, there's Huxley the hog who's on the Jug, Regina the Giraffe is playing the tambourine, Stan Stu the Skunk is on the banjo and finally there's Manny the Baboon and his puppet sidekick Anna the Banana they're both on keyboard."

They all remain silent and look at her.

"How do you know that Ronnie Anne?" asked Jordan.

"Bobby used to work here once before. He stopped working here after three days, mom and I don't know why and we never asked him again and it's best not to ask him ever again. He seemed both sad and angry" replied Ronnie Anne.

They all remain silent once again. "Okay, so now I know not to come here for a part-time job" said Artie.

"Same" replied Lance and Trent.

"This place reminds more on five Night's at Freddy" said Lincoln.

"Oh yeah, I heard of that game. I saw your sister play all seven games on her stream" said Sadie.

"She took those jump scares like a champ" said Mollie.

"Well thanks Ronnie Anne, Carl and I are gonna go and watch them perform now" said CJ.

Lincoln then grabs Carl. "Don't even think about flirting with the only teens in this place, otherwise I will have your mom and dad ground you for a whole year!"

Carl gulp. "Umm, okay" Lincoln then lets him go.

"CJ. Please keep an eye on him" said Lincoln.

"Will do Lincoln, I'll also see if mom and dad wanna tag along too" said CJ.

"Good choice CJ and smart thinking" said Linka.

CJ then races off while dragging Carl.

Ronnie Anne and the others high five Lincoln. "Nice plan there dude. That'll keep him from trying to be a ladies man" said Cookie.

Sid then sees Adelaide at the ball pit. "I gotta go guys, how the heck did Adelaide go to the ball pit? I thought she was playing with some kids!" Sid races to the ball pit.

"Sure is a shame Rusty isn't here" said Stella.

"He said he had some studying to do. His dad wants him to do some early studies on Middle School and good behavior as well" replied Polly.

"Good thing he's not here, otherwise someone is gonna knock him out cold" Lance mentions to the one girl who hates Rusty Spokes the most. They all look to Jordan.

"He's not wrong. I still hate him" replied Jordan.

"By the way, are your parents gonna renovate your house?" asked Cookie.

"They are, they said that change is needed and we are changing for the better" replied Jordan. "We start renovations tomorrow, Martin said he'd help out."

"And once it's all done, are you gonna be throwing a party?" asked Artie.

"Darn right I am, and I'll be inviting a lot of friends!" replied Jordan.

"Now that sounds awesome!" said Timmy.

Then they see the Sharp family enter the Pizzeria and Kick goes to them. "Hey guys, so this is the place?"

"Yeah, it is" replied Lincoln.

"Sure seems a tad bit chaotic. Or more than chaotic" said Kick.

"You have no idea" they all replied to him.

"Where's Gunther?" asked Tabby.

"My best pal said he had to help out at the BattleSnax. A Faunus couple are hosting their wedding there" replied Kick.

"I think I'd rather go there than this place" said Kat.

"I wonder how the rest of the family are doing" said Linka.

At some of the tables and booths are the rest of the Spellman family. Diana, Sabrina, Hilda, Zelda, Hailey, Duchess, Steven Ray and Stone Cold? Wrathion?!

"This place is crazies than a horde of trolls!" said Hilda.

"And the worst part, we can't use our magic" said Zelda.

"Because if they see magic, these kids are gonna start asking questions and wanting to see more" said Diana.

"Mom has a point, let's just tone down the magic and remain calm. We can get through this. Remember that this is all for Lily" said Sabrina.

They all agreed to this. "Just as long as we're here for the littlest member of the family, then I'm okay with it" said Hailey.

"I'm gonna need a bath after this" said Steven Ray as he dislikes the smell of the pizzeria.

Stone Cold Steve Austin sees something. "What the hell is that son of a bitch doing on stage?" They all see the Animatronics performing and with them on the cowbell is Lynn Sr.

Rita is doing fake cheer because this is embarrassing, Lynn Jr stops running around and is awkward out by this, Lucy hides deeper under the table to not see this, Carlos and Frida Casagrande don't know what to make of this though they're baby Carlitos was just laughing and of course CJ and Carl are rethinking their plan and want to go back to the arcade section.

The rest of the Spellman's don't know what that man is doing on stage.

"Well, he seems to be a fan of those automatons" said Wrathion. "Again, why did grandfather choose this place?"

"Dad said this was the right place that'll make Lily happy. But I think he should change the venue to someplace that isn't crazy" replied Duchess. They all notice Duchess wearing a brown trench coat and shades.

"Now I might be seeing things, but why on earth are you wearing that darlin'?" asked Stone Cold.

Duchess sighs and looks away from the running kids. "My name is Duchess Swan remember? And I am a fairy tale daughter and if these kids see me in my normal clothing, then it's not gonna end well."

"Then why not wear something normal?" asked Sabrina.

"My style is who I am, plus I don't have anything normal to wear. Just what I normally put on" said Duchess.

Then Neil and Gwen carrying Lily sit with them. Lily is wearing a lavender blouse and skirt with her diaper underneath, white slippers and a lavender bow for her now growing blonde hair.

"This sucks" said Neil.

"And you chose this place" said Hilda.

"We know, we know. But Lily's happiness is what matters and she likes this nightmare zone" said Gwen. "Even though the rest of us really, really don't."

Neil then sees Luna and Sam looking at the animatronics and then they talk to Sunset. "Looks like they're gonna make a song about this place, or five nights at Freddy's."

They then see Albert and his special lady Myrtle enter, Rita goes over to greet them. "Looks like we have more family guests" said Hailey.

Gwen then hands Lily over to Diana. "She's really happy for everyone to be here, aren't you Lily flower!" Lily giggles and babbles.

Neil looks to Stone Cold who is drinking a can of soda. "You ticked off you can't drink alcohol here?"

"Ya darn right I am, but I got no choice. This is a family friendly kind of thing" said Stone Cold.

"Hang in there uncle" replied Steven Ray.

"At least all of the gifts Lily is getting are being guarded" said Gwen.

They all see Boomer holding a lot of kids who all wanna know what's in the presents. "Back! Back you ravenous, mindless beasts! Someone call 911! Animals! Heathens! Demons!" Boomer uses a push broom then uses a mop.

"Poor Boomer, and those are just decoys" said Neil.

They all look to Neil and Gwen. "What?"

Neil smiles. "It's true, those are all empty boxes. The real gifts are over there." They all see five snacks and soda vending machines that say out of order and leaning onto them is Gyro who is on his phone.

"I see now. The idiot of the team is the diversion, and the Guardian of the realms is now the Guardian of the gifts. Nice move grandfather" said Wrathion.

"I heard that!" yelled Gyro.

"We know" they all replied.

"And speaking of gifts, we'll make sure our late wedding anniversary gifts for you two will come before you go to your trip to Paris" said Hailey.

"Thanks, no rush though. We still wanna spend some time together with the kids before we leave on Monday" replied Gwen.

"And we all have the adult supervision thing planned out as well" said Neil. He then checks his watch. "We got ten minutes before we unleash the ….. (Looks around.) …. C – A- K- A."

They all understood, they had to make sure that none of the kids there would go for it. Neil looks to gyro and he looks to Neil and they both nod. Gyro then sends a message to Victor who is in the kitchen.

Luna and Sam along with Sunset are all coming up with some new songs, songs for a video game.

Carlotta talks to the teens about what's been happening in Great Lake City.

Lincoln and his friends are still in the arcade enjoying themselves.

Rita is having a conversation with Pop-pop and Myrtle.

Peter and Ember are talking with Sergei and Loona. Dana is dragging Leon to sit with her friends.

Martin is sitting on top of the playground house and watching everything.

Lola, Lana, Luan and Giggles are still playing in the ball pit, with Lisa just looking at them and doing some research.

Sid picks up Adelaide and they go and sit next to the Spellman family.

The Casagrande parents just watch as Lynn Sr plays his cow bell with the Animatronics crew, this is confusing and awkward.

Then they all hear an announcement from Neil on stage. All the animatronics stop singing and the curtain comes down, the only moron still playing is Lynn Sr.

Neil just looks to him. "Lynn."

The man is still on his cowbell.

"Lynn!"

Rita sighs, she knew something dumb might happen.

"Lynn Loud!"

The man stops and they all look at him. Lynn slowly gets off the stage in embarrassment. "Okay, now that the anarchy and awkwardness is over, to those who were actually invited to this party, it is time!" said Neil.

They all gather to one large table and the food is being placed down as Victor and ten service and battle droids come out of the kitchen. All the kids who aren't in this birthday look in awe at the food. None of them can get their hands on it, Victor and his coking crew are using shield generator's. Good call nerd!

All the food is placed down. "Victor, bring it out!" said Neil.

"Oh hell yeah!" Victor races back to the kitchen. "Sergei, I could use some assistance."

Sergei gets off his seat band races over there to help. They then come back out and everyone goes wide eyed at the large cake. Carried by two guys and six droids.

Lily goes wide eyed and is stunned. This is no ordinary birthday cake! This is a five foot, ice cream cake!

Flavors: Cookies and Cream, Double Dutch, Rocky Road, Plain Vanilla, French Vanilla, Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Hershey's, Mint Chocolate, Chocolate peanut butter, Cookie Crumble, Cookie Dough, Coffee Crumble, Cherry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Banana, Mango, Pistachio, Coconut milk, Cotton Candy, Ube and Bacon.

Everyone is stunned at this multi-layer of ice cream in a cake. Lily's eyes are now sparkling at this sight.

Neil and Gwen look to Lily and smile. "Happy birthday Lily!"

All the kids who aren't part of this try and get some, but Gyro managed to create a barrier to keep them out. Then he creates an illusion to make the place look as if they're not there. "And that's taken care of."

"How many freaking flavors are in this thing?!" asked Luna.

"No clue, Victor was the one who made it" said Neil.

They all look to Victor who bows. "I am truly proud of what I had made, and I hope you can all eat the rest of the food besides the cake."

"Well, then let's have Lily do the honors" said Sunset.

Neil places down three candles and he gives Lily a boost, she then blows out all three candles and takes a handful of the ice cream and eats it.

"Happy Birthday Lily!"

This is one birthday Lily will never forget, that and because everyone takes some pictures and record this.

To be continued …..
