Thanks again to "Marvelomac1010" for the continuation, and this one doesn't seem special, but this does have something to do with what had happened the previous chapter, and how they're handling things, well mostly Lincoln. Along with some small trouble coming in, and some thoughts about the issues from those whom they have made enemies. Enjoy reading this new chapter guys.

"Rock n' Not Loud Adventures!"
Chapter 3: Conflicting Thoughts...

(September 25. Ketcham Park, Royal Woods.)

Just a nice and calm autumn day, and Lincoln Loud sits on a bench, looking to the pond and seeing Lana come out from the water, and then she joins in with her badges friends, and while Lola is at the Sand box with her friends, he was tasked to watch over the twins, and he's chill with this, but he is not alone.

Jesse Rosato is at another bench, and reading a book and sitting next to Lincoln is his girlfriend, Jordan Rosato, and he told her everything about what had happened the previous day at the Royal Woods Super Mart, and their encounter with that Bratty Kid, named Tyler... And Jordan is not happy.

"When I ever see or run into that little punk, I'm gonna deliver a lot of dodge ball hurt on him, that he'd wish he never met you or me. I will hurt him so much, that he'll be crying out for his mommy for the next ten years!" Lincoln found this side of Jordan kinda attractive, even at dodge ball.

"Hey, be glad that troublemaker is gone, and won't be a bother. At least we walked away from that situation unharmed."

Jordan calms down. "Yeah, yeah. Alright, okay. I'm just... I don't like it when others pick on the kid who is my boyfriend." She then places a small kiss on his cheek, and this makes Lincoln chuckle.

Then Lincoln remembers something. "So, all of that now set aside. What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Oh, right. Yeah, on Saturday, October 1, I am gonna be throwing an awesome pool party. I am gonna be inviting those who I can allow to come along, and that also means you are always invited and even your friends. I already know the big rules of what to do, and I'll tell you that tomorrow."

Lincoln smiles to the sound of this idea. "Now that sounds awesome. I'll talk to the others, and then I can tell you about the things that could be their weakness, though I already know that Rusty is allergic to spicy things, and Clyde has a slight allergy to horse radishes, and pollen. He needs to steer clear away from your mom's rose garden."

Jordan nods, and then they hear a bell ring, and both Lincoln and Jordan spot an ice-cream vendor, and so the young couple both head there, but on their way they hear some voices calling out, voices mocking them, voices that are all too familiar, and they belong to some boys whom they know back at school. "Oh boy, here we go again."

The boys are: Elliot Miles, Jason Sand, Joshua Rush and Morgan Gingerich, and they are also sorta friends with Chandler McCann, they like to mock a lot of students who are either crushing on someone or couples who are dating.

"Look whose here guys, the young sweet couple. You on a date or something?"

"You two gonna go and get married and have some dumb babies?"

"Look at them being all mushy and gross, a bunch of weirdo love birds."

The insults annoy both Lincoln Loud and Jordan Rosato, and deep down Jordan really wants to lay down the hurt and beat them all up, but then Lincoln holds her hand to calm her down, she knows she can bring them pain for when gym class arrives, at school.

So, Lincoln talks back. "This is getting old and pathetic guys, and an act of cowardice too. I mean, those kinds of mocking insults are only made by lonely, weak and pathetic boys who don't know how romance and love work, boys who would grow up to become lonely little punks."

The words from Lincoln Loud makes the four boys remain silent, and some others in the Park and snicker hearing this, and Leni's two friends are there, Jackie and Mandee and they recorded everything that happened, and then Jordan speaks.

"You four had better run off and go think about how lonely your future will be, because I promise you four one thing... There's gonna be a dodge ball with your names on it, and I promise it's gonna be a world of dang hurt." They see Jordan glare at them, with fire in her eyes.

This startles the four boys and so they make a run for it, they know that she is the dreaded Dodge Ball Queen, they don't wanna be brutally harmed, and if what she says is true, then they need to come up with an excuse to not go and attend gym class.

Lincoln and Jordan share a small kiss, and this makes Jordan giggle, and the duo then walk off to go and get some ice cream, and they're glad that the couples option is still there, but they are unaware of a figure hiding in the bushes, someone who didn't like what was going on.

'Why is she dating him, when she should be dating me? You will be mine, Jordan Rosato!'

(Sharp Residence.)

A calm moment, and inside of Sam Sharp's room, the duo are strumming on their acoustic guitars, and enjoying this time together, and preparing for a gig they have to attend and make happen soon, at the Bunt Bean. Sam was told about what had gone down the other day, and Sam is not pleased about what nearly went down. "Wow. Sorry you guys got caught in that mess, Lunes."

Luna nods. "Didn't seem that worse, and we handled it well. Besides, that bratty kid wasn't much of a problem, unlike Chandler and Doug, and we have made a lot of other enemies along the way too, and yet we managed to pull through."

Sam is confused about something, and then she asks. "And these enemies, who else are on the list? Because, I don't think you told me about them."

Luna then recalls. "Alright, so Doug Rockwell is new on the list, and we have Chandler McCann, and that punk is already locked up. We have that bratty kid, and we don't know his name. There is Hank and Hawk and we dealt with them during last year's Halloween, and saved the holiday."

"We also have Walter Tetherby, the rich guy who thought he could influence Lincoln, and it almost worked, until I got involved and he started making fun of me and caused Lincoln to lash out, and lastly we got this kid whom the others thought was a bully, but is not. Lincoln told me his name is Bray Sheer."

Sam is surprised by this gallery of enemies. "Wow. I hope you guys don't run into them again, I mean those are a lot and Tetherby lives at Huntington Oaks Estate."

"Yeah, we don't wanna have to deal with them again" replied Luna. She then places her acoustic guitar down. "But if we do face them, then we'll handle them as we normally do, together. I just hope we don't run into some new foes." she then asks her girlfriend. "So, I heard that something went down at the concert which Sully and Mazzy were supposed to go to, so what the heck happened?"

Sam then explains. "The Mick Swagger concert was canceled, and all because of some delay. Nothing much on why, but the other thing on social media is that the concert will be brought back to Royal Woods on October, and he plans to talk to someone. What are the odds it'll be you and Linc?"

Luna sighs, and she crosses her arms and she doesn't look pleased. "This is not good, not what I wanted. I am not going to go on some tour with that old guy, I know he saw the whole thing from America's Next Greatest Hitmaker, but I'd rather be here with my family then go on some tour, if anyone should go it should be Chunk. We already know he's got this dream he's had since his High School days."

"The old guy, whom I have heard of is someone I don't wanna deal with, and if word goes out throughout the town, then the next dang visit to Rita and Lynnard will have them trying to reason with me to go with, and that is not a plan I wanna stick with. Mick Swagger is his own person, and so am I. If he does plan to talk to me, then I'll see him to reason on why I don't wanna go. I don't have the crazy rock n' roll dream and I never will."

Sam knows and she understands. "Mick Swagger is a nice dude, and he'll listen to you. No shadow of a doubt, he is a guy who knows talent and is fine with the choices of others, heck he was fine when his manager was ready to retire."

Luna nods, and then she looks out the window. "Thanks for that Sam. Perhaps Mick isn't so bad. My 'rents, they'll be hard to deal with." But deep down, she feels like perhaps a chat with Mick Swagger to reason with her parents, might just do the trick.

Sam then speaks again. "And what of the McBride's? I don't mean Clyde. I mean, those two are not gonna stop and something tells me... They might be planning something else, something that could be taking things a bit too far."

Luna sighs, and she turns around. "If those two do try something, then we'll have no other option, but to go with making a restraining order, to keep Howard and Harold McBride from meddling with us, because I just want them to leave us alone. At least Clyde is changed, and a whole different kid."

This is something she wants to talk to Michelle, and the other older sisters about, to make sure they have a backup plan, and to ensure that they are further steps ahead from what Harold and Howard McBride and they're dumb plans.

A/N: This doesn't seem much, but this is fine with me. Makes a good stepping stone or starting point for what could come next, and one of them is dodge ball. I hope you all enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter everyone, as much as I had fun to make this.
