Time to say hello and welcome back to some returning pals and gals, well the rest of the returning friends, but they have no idea that a lot has changed, especially with a new friend in their group. Thanks again to "Marvelomac1010" for the concept, and enjoy reading this new chapter guys.

Rock n' Not Loud Adventures.
Chapter 329: The other pals and gals are back...

(August 17. the Loud House, Franklin Avenue. Royal Woods, Michigan.)

Michelle Lewis is going through some papers, but they aren't papers for work. She then sees Lincoln and Luna coming down the stairs, and then she asks. "Where are you two off to today?"

Lincoln then speaks. "Headed to the arcade, and to meet with my friends, and those who are coming back too."

Luna speaks next. "My band mates are waiting at the arcade too. We got a lot to discuss since return to school is inbound."

Lincoln and Luna then take their leave, and they use their bikes. Michelle then returns to what she is doing, and she thinks about Luna taking driving lessons, since she is 16 and she could use a set of wheels. But then something else comes into her train of thoughts.

'It's almost time. Lynnard and Rita will come back, they will be released and head back here. A lot of us won't be pleased to see them returning, after everything we have known, though I think Lynnard could be redeemed since he seems to have seen the error of his ways. But Rita, that woman is another story.'

'I know that Rita Loud will try to get under my skin, since we are legit into this rivalry and she will try something to prove that she is a better mother. But those actions of desperation will only lead to her downfall and yet, we don't know what she might be up to and it might not be good for all of us.'

'She will figure out something to make sure I don't claim custody as the mother to Lincoln and Luna, which is why I need to prepare for the unexpected to come. Rita Loud, this is a fight you won't win because you already lost the moment you ignored your son, and you're daughters words.'

*Gus' Games n' Grub.)

We are now here at the arcade, and Luna heads to where Sam, Mazzy and Silly are. While Lincoln goes to where Jordan is, and she is not alone. Also with her at the table are Rachel, Sadie, Mollie, Flat Tire, Jenny, Trent, Artie, Lance, Joy, Kat, Cookie, Richie, Renee, Christina, Paige and their new friend, Jo Kosch. They then wave to Lincoln and he goes over to them.

"Alright, so did the others arrive yet?" Lincoln then looks to Stella. "Where are Leslie and her friends?"

Jordan speaks first. "They haven't showed up yet, but they will be here soon."

Stella then speaks. "And to answer your second question... Leslie, and her friends are busy with something else, to make sure that a lot of the local businesses around the town don't get meddled with by Karen and her posse. They wanna make sure that Royal Woods is not going to be bothered or ruined by those mean, rich jerks."

Flat Tire then speaks. "Dude, those rich mean guys are going to a total bother even if that plan works."

"Then let's hope one day they leave and never ever come back" replied Kat.

Mollie then sees Jo being concerned. "Dude, calm down. Look, we trust you and if we explain to the others then they're bound to listen and also trust you."

Lincoln nods. "She's right. We got your back, and you have changed, but chances that some of them may have heard about this from their cellphones, but if they didn't then we have a long story to explain to them, but chances Clyde will trust you once he hears this out."

Jo smiles and nods. "Thanks for those words guys, I'm just... I really hope this works. I don't wanna make a bad impression onto the others, I wanna make things right and show that I have changed."

Then Trent sees them. "Guys, heads up. The others are back." they then see the doors open, and their other friends have returned from their summer vacations.

Clyde McBride, Liam Hunnicutt, Zach Gurdle, Rusty Spokes, Polly, Tabby, Giggles, and Chloe. They even look different with some new clothing, and then they go over and greet them.

"Hey guys, and gals. Glad to have you all back, and nice change of style too" replied Lincoln.

Zach then speaks. "Yeah, well. We thought this would be a good thing, and we wanted to try something new since a lot is changing here in town."

Rusty then speaks. "These are some clothing and styles that my cousins thought would look good on me."

Chloe speaks next. "We also heard about what happened to you guys at the tour, and the whole incident at Aloha Beach."

Jordan then speaks. "Yeah, well that's not the only thing that has gone down." They then see the boy sitting with the others, and he stands up. "Guys, Jo Kosch but we already knew him before as someone else."

This surprises the others, and Clyde cleans his glasses to make sure that he wasn't seeing things. This confuses them and then Rusty asks. "Dude, what the heck is Boy Jordan doing here?"

Lincoln and Jordan intervene, and then Jordan speaks. "Guys calm down. This has been a total misunderstanding, and now everything is alright once again. Jo thought that he could get the name back, but then we talked it out and he thought about his choices and all he has done."

Lincoln then continues. "Because everything he has been doing, all the mean stuff was all because of the times when he hung out with Chandler long ago, and Chandler is not here anymore. Jo is his name now, and he's changing and trying to show everyone that he is not the same bad kid from before."

This does surprise them, and they see the concerned and nervous look from Jo, and then Clyde speaks. "Well, if you guys are forgiving him then so am i. I mean, he is changed, and he learned his lesson." The others look to each other, and they can see that this kid can be redeemed and made as their friend too.

"Yeah, I think we can work with that fellas" replied Tabby.

"As long as he's changed and acceptin' everything, then that there is alright with me" replied Liam.

Jo sighs in relief. "Thanks guys, that means a lot and I look forward to spending some fun time with you guys." Now that makes them happy to hear, and they all sit down and discuss some things while enjoying some pizza. They talk about where they have been.

Clyde and Chloe enjoyed the little Chef's Camp. Zach enjoyed every moment on the road trip with his parents, and Giggles has aced so much stuff and learned a lot at Clowning Camp. Liam and Tabby had tons of fun visiting her grandfather in the U.K, to which Liam didn't know that Tabby's Grandpa has a farm, and Polly did her [art and made sure Rusty wouldn't be messed up during their summer vacation and has been trying to toughen him up.

This surprises them, and they are glad that they had fun. Then Clyde asks. "So, has there been any trouble returning lately? No offense Jo."

"Dude, it's all good here" replied Jo, but then he has concerns. "But we should tell them about the new menaces who have now resided here in town." They know what he means, but Clyde and the others don't know.

Polly then asks. "Dudes, what the heck happened while we were gone?"

They then explain to them about the new rich group, the mean ones who are foes to Leslie and her friends, and they are led by Karen Houseman. They have a lot to catch up on.

A/N: Nice to see the rest of the crew back home, and alright with the new friend, but they have a lot of stuff which they don't know about and things are different once again for them here in Royal Woods. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this new chapter guys.
