Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Mall Time in Royal Woods."

(January 17. The Royal Woods Mall. Royal Woods, Michigan.)

The mall is filled with a lot of people, and there is a sale going down. Everyone wants to see what is affordable, and we see some of the students from the Middle School are here, checking on what they can get, and Stella Zhau seems excited and she checks the local electronics place.

Clyde walks to the kitchenware, alongside Chloe Curda, and Clyde's mom, Mayor Davis is with them. His twin little siblings are busy with something else, the local train ride within the store. Zach is checking the new telescope that he has had his eyes on, and Rusty is going through some comic books with Rocky.

Lori, and Leni are also doing their own shopping, and with their friends. Luan and her mother are here, along with several others: Bobbie Fletcher and Lana, Caroline Linnaeus and Lisa, and with Darcy tagging along. Michelle Lewis and Taylor, and the McBride men, Harold and Howard, they're here to shop for a new couch, the previous one... Jeez, broke down due to termites, and also their house is being fumigated of termites. Yikes.

But some folks from hell are here as well, doing their own shopping. Angel Dust, along with summer and Dia head for Gryphon's shopping, to see what is in style and what would go well for their part in the Burlesque club. A lot of guys notice them, well mostly they have their eyes on summer and Dia.

Nifty is there, shopping for some new cleaning supplies, and she is accompanied by Charlie and Vaggie, and those two are checking if there are any party stuff or decorations they need. Valentine's Day is inbound, and they wanna be prepared and make the hotel look nice. But, they also wanna prepare, for their adopted daughter, Leni and her birthday coming soon.

Loona Silva Hound is at her workplace, as usual and helping with the customers who are Gothic, and she meets with Lucy and her friends. Verosika Mayday has finished her shopping at Reiningers, and then she goes to the local food court, and she walks by Amanda Bright and Katherine Mulligan who are enjoying some lunch, and talking about where they should have their next date.

The Radio Demon Alastor, and his beloved Lady G. Valentine are doing their own shopping, and of course it is vintage clothing, and Alastor already had his fit measured before, and he enjoys the new attire which truly matches him, and then they head to this small pawn shop and are interested in what they have to offer, perhaps something new that was from the good old days.

But the most surprising to be shopping here, is the Lord of Hell and his beloved. Lucifer and Lilith, Morningstar, and they have already checked the music store, and the duo are accompanied by Luna and Sam, there is another music store that they can check out, and Lilith wants to see if the CD of her latest song has been released here, the one she performed last time when she had a concert in town.

But, we see Lincoln Silva Hound and Jordan Rosato, and those two are both almost done with their own shopping. "Alright, so there doesn't seem to be any new comics released from either Marvel or DC, but chances they will have new ones, when next month shows up" replied Jordan.

Lincoln nods. "We checked the music store, and Luna and Sam were already there and went off someplace else. There is nothing much for us at the electronics store, so the next place for us would be anywhere with clothing, right?"

Jordan nods. "Yup. We need to see what is new, and what looks stylish, and I don't think we're gonna be alone when going there." The duo arrive at Reiningers, and they wave to Rachel who finished her shopping, and they see the two employees who work there, Fiona and Miguel.

"Hey you two, looking for something new and special for a fashion trend?" asked Fiona.

"Or do you two wanna look good? Because I can make you two look fabulous" replied Miguel.

Lincoln chuckles. "No need for some help, guys. We got this covered."

Jordan then sees some folk's wave to them. "But it seems like we got some company here."

Lincoln spots them, and they are Jackie and Mandee, and the two grown girls go towards them. "Hi, Linky."

Lincoln smirks. "Hey ladies, nice to see you two here. So, what are you two shopping for?"

Jackie and Mandee have seductive looks, and Jordan knows what this is all about and even she smirks at what they have in store, and then she asks. "Let me guess, the new line of Victoria's Secrets is here, right?"

Lincoln is wide eyed hearing this, and both Jackie and Mandee giggle. "Yup, and we want Linky to judge." replied Jackie.

"That is, if he is alright with it" replied Mandee. "We could use a strong, and very entertaining guy to be the judge. What do you say, Lincoln Silva Hound?"

Lincoln then shakes his thoughts off, and he sighs. "Alright, alright. I'll be the judge and..."

"Good, let's go ladies!" replied Jordan, she then drags Lincoln, and they follow Jackie and Mandee. Lincoln knows, that somewhere around this week, it's gonna be himself, with Jackie and Mandee again, and they are always seeking him for some night time pleasure a lot.

Fiona and Miguel chuckle seeing this, then Miguel asks. "You wanna go and watch them?"

Fiona thinks about this. "Yup." The duo then go over and see how this goes as well. DiMartino overhears this, and she also follows, for she is shopping for the same thing and she needs a judge for this job.

Outside, Lori walks by the place, and Carol Pingrey is with her, and they both talk about the whole letters thing and what could happen next. "Wow. So, you're going to go to school at Fairway University? That's awesome, but when do you tour the place?"

"This Saturday, we're gonna be going to Fairway University and checking out the place" replied Lori. "I mean, you go there and have been doing an awesome job, and going there for myself is my first, and it will be something hard at first, but I am sure I can handle going to college there. This is a college dream I never knew I wanted, or needed. This is gonna be... Well, something."

Carol is happy for her. "That's awesome Lori." Then she asks. "But wait, what about Leni?"

Lori sighs and she explains. "Leni said she is fine with me going, she still wants to remain in Royal Woods and go to the local community college. She said that she doesn't seek anything big or fancy or something like that, and she feels comfortable being close to those whom she still sees as family, and she knows that we'll see each other again. After summer is gonna be something."

"We both have made this plan, and of course our family are in on it as well, and wanna be part of it. We're gonna be spending a lot of summer time fun together, all of us. We haven't figured out as to the where, and how. But, it will be fun and something to enjoy before I head off to college, but there is one thing that will go down when we tour the college."

Carol is confused and then she asks. "And what might that be, Lori?"

Lori seems concerned. "My grandfather, Lucifer. He said that, he wants to spend some time with me if I don't have anything important to do, and that time spending thing would be... Golf."

Carol is baffled to hear this. "Wow. Well, this is gonna be something a little hard to deal with. Coach Niblick will need to hear about this and think about it, but then again chances he'll be alright with it. I mean, the Lord of Hell playing golf at Fairway? That is something truly legendary that no other golf college has ever had."

Lori chuckles hearing this, but she can tell that it will be weird when she goes there with her family. 'This weekend is going to be something very awkward.'

They then pass by Luna Silva Hound and Sam Sharp, and they finished spending some mall time with Lucifer and Lilith, those two went to meet up and shop alongside Charlie and Vaggie.

"Alright, so several new albums and a few new accessories to our MP3's, this mall day is awesome Lunes" replied Sam.

"Darn right, and all truly affordable. I can't wait to check these out when I get home" replied Luna. "I am loving this day, and glad we were let out of school early, but a dang shame that Sully and Mazzy couldn't come along for this."

Sam recalls. "Yeah, those two are missing out, but I feel mostly bad about what happened to them. I wish they saw the wet floor sign, but they just had to walk around with their ear phones plugged in, and falling down the stairs too. Ouch. We should visit them later and see how they're doing."

"Agreed" replied Luna. She then recalls something about this year. 'I'll be graduating from High School pretty soon after the school year, and I have this plan for a tour with Sam, but perhaps we can postpone that a bit. I mean, we could spend perhaps two years in college, and then we can head off to tour around the country.'

'I still wanna be in town, and be close to my family. I don't wanna leave my bro alone just yet. He still needs me, and our bond as siblings is strong and repaired. Sure wish I was a different Luna, but I can't live the life that the alternate dream has. She sure is lucky to have that life.'

Luna then sees Sam is not following her, and she sees her looking at something from Reiningers. "Sam?" the curtains are covering the store, but they can see through the gap, and what they see is Lincoln and Jordan, judging the Victoria Secret's attire, from Jackie, Mandee and DiMartino. Fiona and Miguel help them, and so does Ms. Carmichael.

They can see Lincoln blushing red, and his eyes turning red too and glowing. This makes Luna chuckle, and she sees Sam is mesmerized by the hot grown ladies. "You wanna go in there and see this babe?"

Sam nods, and so they both walk in there and see what is happening.

Yup, just a normal thing going down at the Royal Woods Mall, for everyone.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
