"Rock n' Not Loud Adventures!"
Chapter 2: From Cereals to Flashbacks...
(September 24. The Loud House Residence, Franklin Avenue.)
Another awesome day is here, and the day from before is over, and what went down the other day was the 16th birthday of Luna Marie Loud, and at the moment she is trying out the new harp, and with her brother watching her as he's on his bed, and he likes the sound of these melodies. "Wow. That sounded awesome sis, I forgot how well you played on the harp."
Luna smiles, and then she stops. "Thanks little brother." she is only wearing her socks, and same with Lincoln. "I did play one, but that harp belonged to the school band room. This sure is a cool gift from Mo... I mean, Michelle. But then again, the gift you had was something else, and I still love it." Luna looks to the necklace she is wearing, and this makes Lincoln happy to know that his roommate/big sister loved what he made for her.
Just then someone knocks on the door, and they both call out. "Come on in." The door opens, and they see its Michelle Lewis.
"Hey guys, so I was going to head off to the groceries, and to the fact this is one big family, I was wondering if you guys would wanna come along and help me out. You guys aren't busy, are you?"
Luna and Lincoln then stand up and put on their shoes. "Sure, we'll go with you." Michelle chuckles hearing this, to the fact sometimes Lincoln and Luna speak in sync, it proves just how close they are as siblings, and reminds her of the twins, Lola and Lana.
The trio then head out of the bedroom, but then Luna locks the door, and then she follows them downstairs, and there they see the others. Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn Jr, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily, and all of them are watching TV, then Lisa spots them. "And what seems to be going on with you three?"
Michelle explains. "We're headed to the local grocery store and..." Then all of them clamor towards her and it sounds like all of them wanna come along, and this freaks out Michelle, but she stands her ground and she yells. "Everyone stop!" They all stop and then calm down. Lori and Leni weren't the ones with them, they remained on the couch.
Luna then gets involved. "Girls enough, it's just myself, mo... Michelle and Lincoln. You girls are not coming along, and that's why we hope Lori and Leni can live up to the eldest sister thing and keep an eye on them." Lori and Leni nod, and then Leni sees Lily is getting sleepy and so she brings her upstairs. "Also, might I remind you girls about what happened the last time we were all there?"
That one makes them cringe and recall the whole incident which is known as "Cereal Offender." Lynn scoffs at the words. "Big woof. We weren't that bad last time, dude."
Luna gives a dead pan look to her sports related sister. "We almost got banned, and Rita almost grounded our brother, and all because you girls didn't know how to behave or even stay still or not do anything, might I remind you girls about all the trouble you all caused? I mean, kinda matches the whole issue when we were banned from every freaking swimming pool!" They all remain silent, and even Lynn. Michelle on the other hand is so confused.
'What the heck is Luna talking about?' But she can see the concerned expression from Lincoln, and she can tell that something happened back then, and she wants to know what.
Lori then steps up. "Girls, Luna is literally right. We all didn't do anything good or even behave. We all did what we wanted, and thought we could get away with it. We were troublesome, not Lincoln and Luna. They were the ones who did well and behaved, and I should've done better instead of just... Watching Bobby work." she feels bad. 'Wow. I was such a lovey dovey moron.'
Lori then continues. "So, we're all staying here, got it?" they all agree, and this makes Luna and Lincoln smile. Lori is stepping up, and making sure the others behave and don't do anything stupid, with that being said, Lincoln, Luna and Michelle head out, but then Lisa calls out.
"I request a can of sardines, I am running low on my Omega-3's, and not the sardines that has tomato sauce. I can't stand that taste anymore."
Lincoln nods. "You got it sis." the trio then leave the house, and make way towards Michelle's ride, and they hop in as she starts the engine and they drive off to do the groceries, and thank god Luna and Lincoln know what else their family needs.
They soon reach an intersection and then Michelle speaks. "So, can someone tell me what the heck happened the last time you all went to the groceries?"
Lincoln and Luna look to each other, and then they look towards Michelle and then they explain to her about what happened that day, known as "Cereal Offender."
(Flashback.)
Vanzilla returns to the Royal Woods Super Mart, and Rita is happy she got her manicure which she never got to have for the past 17 years, but then she sees the manager named Joey Anderson and he tosses out the Loud sisters, but not Lincoln and Luna. They walk out unharmed, and then she comes out and asks. "What the heck happened here?!"
The African-American Store Manager then explains. "Mrs. Loud, all your daughters caused some serious trouble within my store! From freeing the lobsters and also the chicken that was already cooked, making all the cakes into an ugly statue thing, annoying the customers with puns and egg jokes, causing fights and destroying the merchandise, using the carts as a racing cart and it almost harmed several customers who were going about their business, and also hiding in the freezer."
"The eldest here didn't seem to do anything, just watching his precious Boo-Boo Bear, and also... Roberto, you're fired!" Bobby is shocked to hear this and he drops the toilet paper. "This is your last day, so finish up and get out of here before I use the push broom!" Joey Anderson sighs. "Honestly, someone else can do better than him, and watch over things while everyone else is busy."
Rita is surprised, and angered to hear this, and she looks to... Her son, Lincoln Loud.
"Lincoln, I thought I could trust you to be responsible! You weren't even keeping an eye on them, and for that you can forget about that cereal young man because you are grounded for the next three..."
"Hey!" Luna butts in, and she looks ticked off. "He didn't do anything wrong! Lincoln was trying to stop them, and I was helping too. Those girls were the ones who did this, and Lincoln was being responsible and doing the best he can to keep those hoodlums out of trouble, but to only deal with another problem wearing a white hat." The store manager recalls the kid he kicked out.
"This was not Lincoln's fault! This was all their fault, so stop pinning all the blame on him! He was getting the groceries, and why don't you ask Ms. I was born first on what she was doing?!" Lori cringes hearing that, and she recalls that all she did, was look at her boyfriend who was working.
Rita sighs. "Luna stay out of this. Lincoln told me he could do it, and he didn't do it, and that means he is grounded for..."
"I think I can speak for the kid." the store manager Joey Anderson speaks. "Lincoln Loud and Luna Loud weren't even the problem. You're other daughters are the cause of the whole mayhem. I was trying to stop them, then Lincoln and Luna came in and backed me up, heck they even kept four-eyes over there in line, strapping her to the push cart."
"They managed to stop some of them, but some are either too fast, too dumb or too sneaky to handle, and those monsters which you call daughters thought they could do whatever the heck they want in my store, whereas Lincoln and Luna Loud were just going around like any other normal shopper, but your daughters are not normal. Heck, I got the video proof right here."
Joey Anderson shows her the footage on his tablet, Lynn tries to intervene, but Lori stops her, and they see this menacing glare from Luna, and they see Lincoln looks like he is about to cry, and now they feel bad for what had happened. They don't usually see Lincoln have tears like this and his expression shows something of shame, guilt, and fear. Luna holds her brother close, trying to comfort him.
Deep down, Lori and Leni feel bad for not doing anything.
Rita is surprised to see this footage, and then she sees a stern Luna looking at her, with her arms crossed and foot tapping. Rita sighs and then she speaks. "Alright fine. Very well, girls you're grounded for one week, and Lincoln... you're off the hook, but you're doing more chores to the fact you didn't at least stop all of them, or even call Lori."
"They tried" replied Joey Anderson. "She told them that she was busy, with her Boo-Boo Bear." Lori wipes away some tears, she feels bad that this is going down. Then the man continues. "Also, you're hoodlum daughters are banned from ever stepping foot in my store, but you and that weird husband of yours with the ties are not band. Lincoln and Luna, you two are welcome here at any time."
Rita sighs. "Alright, girls in the van, now!" The others do as she says and they go into Vanzilla.
"Hold it!" Joey Anderson then goes back into the super mart, he then comes out with the bags. "This belongs to your daughter and son, and the Zombie bran and Pudding Cups they wanted, all on the house, for doing a splendid job and showing that you two are responsible enough to hold the line and stop some trouble making hoodlums."
Luna and Lincoln are happy to hear this, and then Luna hands him the cash. "Keep the change sir, and thank you."
Joey Anderson nods. "I look forward to seeing you two here again." He then goes back into his store, and thinks of the other teens who sent him a part-time job application, and he's thinking that this Sully kid could do the job.
Rita watches as Luna and Lincoln load the stuff they got, she is about to protest but there doesn't seem to be any point arguing, and then Lori comes out and she helps as well, but she sees the mean glare from Luna, and it feels like she is burning a hole in Lori's brain.
They close the back, and then drive off. Lincoln looks to Luna as the two sit far from the others and he embraces her. "Thank you, Luna."
Luna smiles and she rubs his hair and returns the hug. "Anytime, little brother. That's what big sisters are for." Hearing those words, fills Lori, Luan and Leni with guilt, but it fills Lynn Jr with small guilt, and a little envy.
(End Flashback.)
The light is green, and they are driving once more, and Michelle is surprised by what she hears. "Holy Smokes on the water and fire in the dang skies. You're sisters are deranged! Now I know why some folks told me that they have been banned from so many places, mostly swimming pools. Also, wow Rita is a total bad mom in my book, even when she thinks she's a great mom, but clearly she is not."
"At least we sorted things out" replied Luna. "Surprised that I wasn't in trouble, but I helped Linc with the extra chores."
"That day was a bad day for us, mostly me" replied Lincoln, and he looks out the window, Luna rubs his hair and does what she can to calm him down. That memory, might just be one of the many which recalls what went down, throughout their time before all of this change happened.
(Royal Woods Super Mart.)
The doors of the place slide open, and we see Lincoln, Luna and Michelle walk in and then she checks the list. "Alrighty then, we have the list and also added what Lisa needs. Let's go and get the stuff and get the heck out of here, and I was also thinking of getting a pizza along the way too."
"Now that sounds like a good idea" replied Luna. The trio walk to the aisles, and Lincoln and Luna wave to the manager Joey Anderson, and he waves back and salutes them, as he is stacking the apples, and his new employee is helping, Benny Stein... Yeah, he's not gonna be working here long.
But they don't know, a kid sees them and he growls. 'Well, well. If it isn't pineapple boy and broccoli girl. Back to take what I wanted? Not today, and toady you two are gonna be banned!'
Bratty Kid/Tyler.
He looks rather similar to Lincoln. He wears an orange t-shirt, navy blue jeans, gray socks, light blue sneakers and a white beanie. He has light blond hair, light fair skin and buck teeth. The only feature he doesn't have that Lincoln does are the freckles and the white hair, as well as a round head shape.
He likes getting what he wants, and is willing to do anything in his power to succeed, even if it means having to create a big mess and a lot of ruckus.
Tyler then sneaks away, hiding behind the fruits and vegetables, and also munching on an apple.
(Minutes later.)
The trio have gotten what they needed, and its three shopping carts long, and then Michelle checks the final item. "There, that is all of it, and wow we have a lot. Good thing my car can handle It." she then looks to Lincoln and Luna. "How about you two get something as a treat? Go on, I'll watch over the stuff." Lincoln and Luna nod, and the duo head off to see what they can find, and perhaps see what their siblings would enjoy too.
Michelle sighs and she smirks. 'This thing being a parent to them, it feels nice. Luna almost called me mom, does she not fully trust me or is she shy to call me that? Lincoln calls me that, and I like it.' Then Michelle sees two very familiar figures, from the birthday party from the other day, and this annoys Michelle Lewis. "Oh great, you two. I thought you two do groceries on Sundays?"
Howard and Harold McBride, and then Howard speaks. "Hello Michelle, good to see you again. We were wondering if you are reconsidering about the offer of us providing help to taking care of..."
"No. No means no, and get it over your heads. I can handle it, stop meddling with the Louds and what I do to help keep an eye on them. They aren't small puppets that you can lay down some rules on, and if I am gonna be honest, I am so glad your son is changed, and all thanks to my son... to Lincoln, and his girlfriend." she kinda feels embarrassed, she nearly called Lincoln her son.
"But, we just wanna provide some assistance" replied Harold. "Howard and I can help, we have some instructions on what to do, and we can do what we can to keep an eye on them until Lynn Sr and Rita learned their lesson, and chances they might be back next year."
"I mean, you don't know how to actually take care of a large family right?" asked Howard. "We can provide, and help. Also, our son changing is... Our own thing, and we will handle things as we always do, and even though it seems off for him to be not what we thought from what we taught him, we will try and accept his change." He's lying, they have been trying to enforce the same rules to Clyde, and he is not buying it. They saw him eat a pickle, and add it to the burgers he made, which concerns them.
"She's doing an awesome job." they see Luna and Lincoln, and they come back with a couple of snacks, and have them loaded into the carts, and then Luna speaks sternly towards the McBride's. "Michelle is doing awesome, and she manages to sort out all the issues we have, and the older sisters, and myself do our part, and backup from the Rosato's. They seem to know what they're doing, unlike the bad parenting from Lynnard and Rita."
Lincoln then speaks. "You two don't even know what it is like, or have the faintest of an idea on how they have been trying to parent us, when clearly they were never good parents since they wanted a large and messed up chaotic family. If you two know so much about taking care of a large family, then how come my best friend is an only child?" This makes Howard and Harold gasp.
"Also, from what we do recall. You two couldn't handle all of my sisters when they came raging into your house like a tsunami bringing destruction onto some poor villages, and you two were crumbling like paper and wooden houses, with no foundation and no means to even be above the responsibly or even showing some back bone. My sister, Luna did that and she halted our parents from their stupidity when they thought the tumors inside Leni were nothing dangerous, when clearly they are."
Howard and Harold didn't like hearing this, Lincoln Loud being assertive is something they kinda fear. "I don't care how long it takes for those sorry excuse of parents do to make things right, if they have to finish ten years in the Royal Woods Penitentiary, then so be it. We still have Lori, Leni, Luna and Mom, and when I mean mom..." He moves close to Michelle. "I mean, her." this makes Michelle smile. "And she is as awesome as Luna, she reminds me of her, but with Leni's long hair." this makes Luna and Michelle chuckle, he is not wrong.
Just then, the manager Joey Anderson shows up, with his new Push Broom. "Is there a problem here, people?"
"Nope, no problem." Michelle then pushes the cart, and Lincoln and Luna push the other carts. "These two gentlemen were just leaving. Let's go kids, let's have these checked out and be on our way." the trio walk off, and this concerns Howard and Harold McBride, their plan failed, but then they see the stern look from the store manager.
"You two. If you two dare to pull off a stunt like that, then I'll introduce you to a new one, and it's called my Push Broom and your butts, and also I will ban you two. Are we clear?" Howard and Harold nod, and they go back to their regular shopping, the store manager chuckles at what he did and he spins his broom and throws it in the air, but it lands on his head instead of him catching it. "I gotta work on that."
As Lincoln, Luna and Michelle are about to go to the register to check this out, Luna stops and senses something is wrong, a feeling that someone from before is here, and without a second thought, she grabs her brother and she pushes him away, and a pineapple almost hit him, but instead it tackles Benny. "I'm okay..." the apples then collapse onto him. "Still okay."
Michelle then checks on Lincoln. "Are you alright?" She then looks around. "Who threw that?!"
"I did!"
Lincoln and Luna see who it is, and they know him. "Oh great, you!"
Tyler laughs, as he is wearing some war paint made from condiments and he has a BB-Gun which his dad gave him. "I am back, and I am going to make Pineapple Boy and Broccoli girl pay for having me banned, and I want my Zombie Bran back!" he then opens fire on them, but they all take cover and try to evade this, and they take cover behind the freezer of ice cream.
Tyler laughs and he keeps shooting, and customers all take cover, and even Benny. Michelle is frustrated from the trouble they are meeting. "That kid is crazy! What the heck do we do?!"
Lincoln and Luna look around, and they see some broccoli and pineapples. "We got it."
Tyler then has to reload his weapon, but then Lincoln and Luna come out from hiding, and Luna throws the broccoli and it lands on the crotch of Tyler, and he whimpers from the pain, but then Lincoln chucks the pineapple, and it hits Tyler in the face, and then he goes down and grumbles and he is knocked out.
Michelle then comes out from hiding. "Whoa. Nice aim, and good throw too."
Then Tyler slowly stirs, and he sees his toy gun, but then the store manager steps on it. "And look who came back. I thought I banned you!" Tyler then tries to make a run for it, but he runs into his mom and she doesn't look pleased, and she sees the manager crosses his arms. "Lady, you got the chance to be unbanned, well now consider yourselves banned for life, and also you're paying for the damages."
The blonde woman is surprised, and she looks to her son and she is enraged. Tyler now sees, that he is in so much trouble. She then grabs her so by the ear. "You are grounded till the end of October, young man!" The two then head off, and also call his father of the damages they have to pay.
Everyone cheers seeing what Lincoln and Luna did, and then Michelle hugs them both, she's glad that they're alright.
(Later.)
The trio are at the car, and Michelle closes the trunk, with all the groceries inside. She then gets into the car, and she starts the engine. "Alright, next stop Pizza Hut. Also, one more thing... I already know you guys have some beef against Chandler and my former partner, Doug. But how many enemies did you guys make?"
Luna then explains. "Well, considering we have been through trouble and I am always there to help my brother out of that situation and most of the times those enemies are caused by our sisters. So, his foes are my foes too. But they won't hinder me down, I'm not scared of them."
Lincoln is happy to hear this, and then he hugs his big sister, and so they all drive off home.
But they didn't know that Howard and Harold watch them leave, and both are concerned about the Louds and how their living now, and the fact Rita and Lynnard are not there to watch over them, and they don't seem to trust the folks who said they would help keep an eye on the Louds. 'We have to find some way, to perhaps... claim custody of the loud children!'
A/N: Thank you very much, "Marvelomac1010" for this, and this was kinda fun to make, especially the flashback and the fact the store manager is not their enemy, but Howard and Harold... Those guys are not gonna stop. I hope you all enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter guys, as much fun as I had making it!
