The next day, I take Lincoln to Monterey to see an aquarium. Along the way, I could introduce Lincoln to more popular oldies from the late 1960s. Like Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
I've been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium countless times before, and remember the first two times. The first time I think was in 2006, with my three relatives from Three Rivers, one of them having passed recently. I'll namedrop her later on in a list of 2020 deaths so far. During our stay, and my first stay, at an Embassy Suites hotel in Monterey, I saw this commercial where a man bathing gets spooked and a voice laughs, then the scene cuts to a drain with bubbles coming out of it as "Gotcha." is heard. Then it cuts to the man getting something, the thing the commercial is advertising for, then cuts to the drain as it starts saying "No." repeatedly, worrying about its fate. The man pours the liquid into the drain and it cuts to the pipes showing the liquid pushing something down the system. The advertisement is for something that might help out with "annoying drains". Back to the main topic regarding my trips to the aquarium.
My second trip was in 2007 when I was attending a summer camp at Mountain View Elementary, the camp being run by the YMCA, whose song is one of the last songs I'd want to hear, another one being Anyway You Want It by Journey. Yet, I haven't been there in a while, and it might do me some good to go there once again.
In real life, I'm thinking of considering borrowing the aquarium's auditorium for a presentation based on existing mysteries of sounds heard in the Pacific Ocean without explanations, said sounds including the Bloop, Upsweep, Julia, and many others.
I'll save the presentation for sometime later, as long as I'm being not only Lincoln's older brother figure, but his bodyguard as well thanks to Chandler confronting us as a member of that mafia. Maybe the presentation could still happen, but with me getting Lincoln out of there very quickly with neither of us being noticed, except by a member of the mob.
Imagine Lori and Bobby being there with Carlota, Lisa, Darcy, Jenny/Brenda, Clyde, Liam, Lana, Kat, Zach, Laird, Hassan, Jordan, Stella, Sid, and Ronnie Anne. If I was doing the presentation, their presence would explain why I would get Lincoln out of the room so quickly. If not, there could be no reason for that scene. Yet, aside from when I'll do the presentation, let's just focus on the aquarium in general, and what might happen, especially if really unwanted people might be there. During the trip and a possibly chaotic scene, Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd could be playing.
I'd be showing Lincoln the several exhibits, starting with sea otters, then the kelp forest, then the open sea exhibit, and maybe several others, like exhibits kind of looking like glorified fish tanks, as well as the other exhibits seen in that one video by YouTube user inselvideo. Meanwhile, few people from that mafia are here and notice me and Lincoln. They snuck in weapons and are ready to kill us.
When we're in a room with a glass screen, the room being directly above the open sea exhibit, I notice a mafioso with a gun pointing at Lincoln shocking me, so I rush him out of the exhibit just as the gun is fired. 4:43 to the end of Free Bird is perfect for the chase scene as Lincoln and I run throughout the aquarium to escape our hunters, with those other Loud House/Casagrandes characters witnessing everything, choosing to disarm the hunters and hold them down until security and the police arrive.
Lincoln and I exit the aquarium and rush to my Jeep vehicle, a yellow Wrangler with amphibious modifications similar to the Terra Wind amphibious motor coach. I drive back to Visalia and tell Lincoln that I was right about gangsters killing people with guns. I keep looking at my rear-view mirror to make sure that no Mafiosi are chasing us in their automobiles with guns pointed at us or our tires.
Back at the aquarium, the police have arrived and are taking the assassins into custody, with Bobby and Ronnie Anne trying to comfort Sid and Stella, Zach, Clyde, and Laird having been dreaded out of their minds, and a few others having odd feelings about this whole situation. Meanwhile, on a bench, Jordan is hugging Lori, hugging her back, both with calm closed eyes and frowns, and sad eyebrows as their expressions. They both open their eyes and stare out into the road thinking to themselves.
Lori: (You're out there somewhere, Linc. I hope you're doing okay.)
Jordan: (I'd love to thank Kaden for protecting you from these brutes.)
Both: (But please come back to us someday. We miss you so much.)
I need to improve the dialogue better.
Back with me and Lincoln driving back to Visalia.
Me: ...
Lincoln: What now? This is even worse than when we were in Lake Kaweah and the desert!
Me: At least your friends had good intentions. And I hope those mobsters are being occupied thanks to friends of ours hopefully being at the aquarium.
Lincoln: Like who?
Me: I don't know. I hope they didn't get wounded or headshot in the process. ~
Lincoln: *starts to worry for his friends and family*
Me: Hey. We're gonna see them. And hopefully, the police will be on our sides, as long as no corrupt/dirty cops are interested in the situation.
Lincoln: I hope you're right.
Me: So do I.
I'd decide to play some songs while we're driving. Songs that Lincoln has never heard of before, but I have. The first song is the Rolling Stones' Paint It Black. Listening to this song, Lincoln could consider telling Haiku to introduce Lucy to it for him for when she's down in the dumps, the both of them being aware of Lucy, despite being born to be a goth, still being human nonetheless. The second song is Gimme Shelter.
I might think about using an abridged version of the first song, as well as the second one, in the trailers of this project. I'm thinking it a Paramount+(once CBS All Access) original presented by Paramount Animation, either Miramax or the relaunched Miramax Family, and Nickelodeon Movies. I have some ideas for the variants, but maybe another time.
