"Rock n' Not Loud Adventures!"
Chapter 23: Weekend Endeavors part 1...

(October 15. Somewhere at Franklin Avenue. Royal Woods, Michigan.)

We see Luna Loud, and she is riding her bicycle and not alone, riding alongside her is her brother, Lincoln and she is riding with him as they return back home, and with his backpack alongside him. Luna went to pick up Lincoln at Hunnicutt Farms, since he had a sleepover there.

"So, what did you and the guys do during the sleepover, Lincoln?"

Lincoln smiles and he seems excited to tell her. "Alright, so the first thing we did was some rope swinging in the barn and don't worry we landed into some hay, then we took turns with buck riding on the goat, and Zach won the whole thing, but I'm fine. I landed into some mud."

"Then we had Liam in this tractor wheel and he said he can take it, and so we let him roll off and cheered, it seemed exciting, then we had to race after him because we didn't think it through with the height of the hill we were on."

"After that we played some hide and seek, and then we did some chicken wrangling and that was kinda fun, reminds me of the many times when I have to catch up with our little sisters. Then we watched as Liam went wrestling with his pig, Virginia and he won all three rounds."

"Though, when Liam mentioned Rattlesnake round up, we did a hard pass and decided not to. That sounded too dangerous, I can handle Lana's snake El Diablo, but Rattlesnakes are something I don't wanna toy with, and the best part, Clyde didn't bring anything that his dad's would want him to pack. He ditched the stuff someplace else, I hope he can remember where he left the stuff."

Luna is surprised to hear this, and she is glad her brother didn't go for the dangerous stuff. "You made the right choice in not doing the very dangerous ones, little brother. Because if anything would've happened to you, then Liam will get a scolding from me, and mom too." she means, Michelle of course.

Then Lincoln asks. "Sis, why wasn't mom coming to pick me up?"

Luna then explains and they are closing to the house. "Mom said she had to go and bring Lynn to the Junior Basket Ball tryouts. But from what I did heard from the High School Basket Ball Team, there are these big time hot shot players represented by Jean Juan's French Mex. Chances she'll be able to be on their team."

"Let's hope so." Lincoln and Luna stop in front of the house, and they place their bikes into the garage and they see that Vanzilla is gone. "Huh, where the heck is Vanzilla?" They then see Leni walking out of the house and with her purse. "Hey, sis. Where is the van?"

Leni heads over and she hugs her brother. "Good to see you too Linky." she then departs from the hug. "Alright, so Lori took the van to bring Lola to the special hotel outside of town, since she has to compete for the regionals pageant, and this is something she cannot miss. She is concerned that you won't be there to help her out."

Lincoln recalls, he was always her coach, but he told her that if she sticks with the book and goes by the rules, regulations and the necessities to the pageant course, then she can handle this on her own and be marked as Royal Woods true veteran young pageant queen. "Alright then, I hope she has the book I gave her, she needs some advice and if she asks Lori, then it could work if they stick to the book."

"Let's hope so" replied Leni. "Also, I am headed to work. There is this huge Pop-Up sale, and I will be working all day there, or until the whole sale is over." She then sees the car from her co-worker and work friend, Fiona. "Well, that's my ride."

Fiona then calls out. "Come on, Leni. Work is calling, oh hey guys." Lincoln and Luna wave to her, they both recall that they helped Leni get her job back and found out who took the scarves, and thankfully Lincoln didn't have to go all Ace Savvy, and that time Clyde was at an auction for antiques with his dad's.

They didn't make any bad reputations there, and have become good friends with Miguel and Fiona, and they even helped Lincoln pick out something cool to wear as every day clothes, and because of that he has stuck to wearing different clothing every day, which breaks his predictability in clothing in the morning.

Lincoln and Luna then head back into the house, and they are met by Lana and she is looking for something. "Lana?" asked Luna. "What the heck are you looking for?" But then she has an idea of what is going on. "Lana, who escaped from the terrarium?"

"Guys, help me" replied Lana, and she has a flashlight and she looks under the couch. "Izzy is missing, and I can't find her." they then see Luan walking down the stairs, and she shows them Mr. Coconuts, and then he opens his mouth and spits out the lizard. "Izzy!"

Luan sighs. "Lana, please be careful with your pets. Izzy here was last seen when I was cleaning Mr. Coconuts and she landed on my face, gross."

Then she makes Mr. Coconuts talk. "Gross? Are you kidding me, toots? That thing went in my mouth, now I need something to clean this horrible smell within. I am not a lizard house, but we do live in this house?" Deep down, Luna questions if some times when Luan uses Mr. Coconuts to talk what she has in her mind, or if that dummy is even alive... She heard rumors from Lola, that she has seen his head... Move.

(Later in the day.)

Michelle is in the house, and normally she would be ready to go and pick up Lynn, but she insisted she would jog all the way back home, and that's fine with Michelle. She knows when Lynn needs her exercise, and she made sure Lynn has her duffle bag with everything she needs, from her protein bars to her energy drinks, and cold bottle of water.

Michelle goes through the laundry and she goes to the couch and she starts to fold them. But then she sees someone within the chimney, and so she goes over, and grabs her. "Lucy? What the heck are you doing there? We talked about this, remember?"

Lucy looks down. "Sigh." Michelle then puts her down. "Sorry, I just needed another dark place to hide and be with my own thoughts. Last night, was the worst thing for me."

Michelle didn't like the sound of that, and that also explains why Lucy steered clear of Leni and Lori at the breakfast table, and remained silent. She kinda knew something was wrong, and it had something to do with the eldest sisters in the family. "Lucy, talk to me. Let me know what's bugging you, sweetie."

Lucy looks to Michelle, and she can feel this presence or aura that she is something she can speak her mind to, and so she sits on the couch, while Michelle is folding clothes. "Sigh, alright. So, last night you recall that you allowed me to watch my fave show, right?"

Michelle nods. "Yeah, that show called Vampires of Melancholia, and it's all the Dark and Vampiric Rager for all Goth's, and also Emo's, and vampire fans."

Lucy then continues. "Well, last night was going to be a new episode and I was looking forward to it, with Edwin. But then Lori and Leni showed up, and they ruined everything. There is this new actor in the show, and he portrays the great, great, great, great, grandnephew of the main character, Edwin. That new actor, Blake Bradley he is showing signs of some annoying free spirited workout teen."

Michelle is surprised to hear that name. "Wait, wait. Hold up, Blake Bradley? I know that guy, saw him many times in Hollywood, and he was always on commercials which are meant to either promote underwear, sports stuff, or energy drinks. Why would that show have him on? Also, is his character a vampire?"

"He. Is. A. Mortal" replied Lucy, and she seems ticked off. "I don't like him, and I know my friends won't like him. He is the sole reason why Lori and Leni are now bugging me, and if the next episode comes next week on Friday night, then it is all ruined for me and other Goth's and vampire fans. Also, they keep calling it VOM, but it's not!" she looks away and she feels like crying.

Michelle sees this and she is concerned. "Hey now, look it's going to be alright." She then has an idea. "Perhaps I can figure something out, I can talk to Lori and Leni for you..." but then she has another idea. 'And also contact the show and deal with this actor. Honestly, Blake Bradley is a teen chick magnet, and I find it to be very disturbing. This is almost as degrading as when Justin Bieber came into the spotlight and nearly got mobbed by fans.'

Lucy then looks towards Michelle. "Are you sure this will work?"

Michelle smiles and she nods. "I'm sure of it." Lucy smiles and she hugs her, and so Michelle returns the embrace, just then Lynn Jr is back and she looks cheesed off, and so Michelle departs from the hug with Lucy and both are confused. "Lynn, what's wrong?"

Lynn sighs. "Dang it, darn it! God... I got into the wrong team!" She then throws the duffle bag, which Luna catches. "The official let the least fave team pick me, and the one who chose me for his team, was Flip, His team is called the Jerkin' Jerky's, and they are totally weak. Okay, so Paula is there, and I have known her to be quite athletic and she told me she had no choice but to join this team too. This bites it hard!"

Luna then asks. "Who are the other members?"

Lynn then tries to recall. "Not good with remembering names. But one of them is always on the phone and getting calls from her mom, then there's one who sleeps a lot, and then we have another who has wet, and sweaty hands, and that is just weird. These are not team material, their losing material!" She then stomps back to her room, and so Michelle follows to see if she can calm her down.

Lucy and Luna didn't see this one coming, then the front door opens again and they see Leni is back, and she looks like a mess. Lucy gets up and she leaves them be, she doesn't wanna deal with her. Luna then asks. "Leni, what the heck happened to you?" she notices the bag. "Oh hey, you bought something at the mall."

Leni nods, and she holds her head. "Luna that was a nightmare! Miguel, Fiona and I had to deal with one epic, intense and ruthless Pop-up sale. Apparently working there is a pain drag than it is shopping there, but in the end we managed to make the sale work, and we bought some stuff there as well. Discount for us, and also..." Leni goes to the arm chair and she sits down and is exhausted. "I need like, three ice packs. Ow."

"On it." Luna places the duffle bag on the couch, and she races back to the kitchen to get what Leni needs, then Lincoln comes down and he sees what is going on and he sees the state Leni is in.

"Whoa! What the heck?! Leni, what happened to you? Did you wrestle a bear or something?"

A/N: This was fun to make, and it's just what is going on at a usual Saturday for the Louds, and the rest of "Fandom Pains" and "Net Gains" will continue soon. I hope that you guys enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter everyone.
