Rock n' Not Loud Adventures.
Chapter 630: Dream: Lewis' Mall Time.…

(B. Lewis Residence, Franklin Avenue. Royal Woods Michigan.)

Michelle and Amanda head down the stairs and they double check everything they have. Amanda checks if she has her car keys and Michelle makes sure she has her purse and she hands Amanda the car keys which she left in her purse. "Thanks babe." Amanda kisses Michelle on the cheek.

Amanda looks in her sling bag and she's happy to see that she still has the Lightbearer inside, just in case. "Looks like we've got everything" replied Michelle. "We just need to wait for the kids."

Amada nods. She then remembers something and then she asks her wife. "Are you still kinda shaken after what went down? I mean, I'm just ticked off and really wanna beat that moron down."

Michelle nods and she also agrees. "Same here. This Bolhofner guy… he's just some creepy and obsessed stalker and I have dealt with a ton of stalkers in the past. The one thing I know, is that stalkers tend to come back and that worries me. He might harm the kids."

Amanda understands how she feels. "I am also concerned about this. But if that bastard thinks about coming back and doing something bad to the kids and to our lives, then he's going to regret ever messing with me." The Lightbearer glows a little, sensing Amanda's anger.

Michelle is happy to hear this. Then they see Leni, Luna and Lincoln coming down the stairs and they are now dressed for the day. "We're ready mommies."

Hearing they're kid's say that always brightens up and warms their hearts and so they head out of the house, leaving the three pugs alone and they don't know that when the pugs are alone in the house, they got the TV all to themselves. I guess they learned to plug and turn it on… from spending time with Mr. Grouse. I honestly don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

(The Royal Woods Mall.)

The doors open and coming in are the B. Lewis' and little Lincoln looks around and he holds Luna's hand and he doesn't wanna get lost. Luna smiles and so they head for where they have school supplies. Leni then asks. "Do we have a list of the stuff we need to get?"

Michelle nods and she has the list. "Everything that you kids will need in school, and also for Lincoln here. He is advancing away from preschool and inbound for kindergarten." Amanda chuckles hearing this, once again impressed at how planned Michelle is. Seeing his mother being so prepared and good with planned makes Lincoln happy and also feel…. Motivated.

(Later.)

The family leaves the local book store and they have a lot of stuff that is meant for their return to school, and then Luna asks. "Do we have what we need mommy?"

Michelle checks the list and then she puts it away. "Yes, yes we do. Now before we do go and get something to eat for lunch, how about we go and buy something that would make you kids happy. A little reward for being well-behaved throughout the entire summer." Amanda knows what she means.

They then head to the Toy Store and this makes the kids excited. Then Amanda speaks. "Go on ahead kids. Pick something you like. Then we'll pay for it and then go for lunch."

Leni then speaks. "I will keep an eye on my little siblings." Leni then holds the hands of her brother and sister and they head to check some toys, together. Seeing this makes Michelle and Amanda proud that Leni is being such a caring and responsible big sister.

'Lori would be so dang proud of how Leni has grown and become an awesome big sister, in her own way and same with the others, they would be so proud of how responsible Leni has become.' Just then someone calls out to the two women and they turn around and see it is none other than Maria Santiago.

"Hey there, Maria" replied Michelle and then she asks. "You doing some back to school shopping too?"

Maria nods. "That I am. The kids aren't with me and are being watched over by Arturo. The whole shopping thing is something that I can handle, for both Bobby and Ronnie Anne's return to school, though this is actually her first time in kindergarten."

"We already did that" replied Amanda. "Also, we know that you're little girl will be going to the same kindergarten as Jordan and Lincoln. The three of them are going to be a good trio of friends and perhaps make some more new friends along the way."

Maria nods. "I know they will." Then she recalls something. "Also, would it be alright if we came over to visit you guys. I'd love for my daughter and son to have a playdate with some other kids. My husband will be at work tomorrow and perhaps we can all get to know each other."

Michelle smiles hearing this. "Sure. That would be nice and we can have Jesse Rosato come along with her daughter Jordan to have a playdate. But then again, she always likes to come over and spend time with our boy."

Maria smiles hearing this. "Thank you. See you guys again soon." She then heads off to do the shopping. Michelle and Amanda are both curious as to how she can handle doing all the shopping.

Just then they see Lincoln, Luna and Leni come back with what they got. Leni has a plush Slowpoke, Luna has a plush hat of Natu and little Lincoln has a small plush Totodile. This makes the two women chuckle and smile. They're kids are Pokémon fans.

They then pay for the toys and head off. The family then heads for the food court, but as they head there Michelle asks. "Are you kids ready and excited to return to school?"

Luna and Leni nod. But then they see they're little brother looking a little nervous. "Lincoln are you feeling okay little brother?"

Lincoln then tells them. "I just… I'm a little bit nervous because this is my first time to go to kindergarten, but… I should be brave just like my big sisters and I also know that my friends will be there too." Michelle and Amanda are about to say something but instead Luna and Leni speak.

"Lincoln there's nothing to be so worried about" replies Leni. "We had the same thing and we were nervous too, but we had to be brave and we made a lot of good friends. You're friends will be there and they'll keep you company."

Luna also speaks. "Also, we're also going to be in the Elementary School which is also where the kindergarten is also located. We'll also be with you when it's lunch time. Okay little brother?"

Lincoln smiles hearing this and he hugs Luna and Leni. "Thank you big sisters. I love you both." Luna and Leni smile and they return the hug.

Michelle and Amanda are touched to see this. Lincoln truly is lucky to have two responsible big sisters who always know what to say and help give good advice and also to make sure he doesn't feel bad or sad. They know that these kids will be alright when school comes around.

(Reality.)

Michelle Lewis slowly wakes up and she's in her bedroom and it is almost midnight. Michelle then looks to her right side and she smiles when she sees Amanda sleeping peacefully.

Michelle then lays back down and she remembers what will happen soon. 'Leni will graduate, and when she does, she will get an wonderful and unexpected surprise.'

A/N: Looks like they're just enjoying some good times at the mall and ready for the return to school, and soon a play date with their friends and Leni will be graduation soon, but what is this surprise? I do hope that you all enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
