Looks like the time has come, to go and spend their Christmas here at Camp Mastodon, a change of plans but will still be the same and will be alright, right? Well, a surprise is inbound and will turn things upside down! I hope you all enjoy reading this everyone.

Rock n' Not Loud Adventures.
Chapter 822: Lewis' and Loud's Back to Camp Mastodon.

(December 22. Camp Mastodon.)

Several vehicles are now entering Camp Mastodon, Vanzilla, Michelle's Ferrari and Luna's car. They stop and slowly back up and park themselves. They all come out and look around the now snowy camp grounds, and they are glad they're vehicles have snow plowing and ice gripping modifications.

Revavroom comes out from Luna's car, and he's making a small heat area which melts the snow. "Huh, we got a mobile fireplace right here." Luan chuckles from this, but the others don't get it.

They then head to the Main Building, and they see the whole camp looks festive, and there are some wood carvings of animals and those are impressive, and then they see the old man who invited them here, Leonard Loud, also known as Gramps. "Hey there, guys! Glad you could all make it!"

They do wave to him, though the Lewis' don't seem too keen seeing him, and Leonard Loud knows why. "Well, it's great to see you all here, and to celebrate Christmas too. Now, I didn't get a tree yet, but we can do it before Christmas begins!"

Lynnard nods. "Sounds like a plan dad, can't wait to go and get a tree, and the others can come along too."

Amanda speaks. "I did it once long ago with my dad… Then we had to run because we went to the wrong location and accidentally chopped down someone else's tree." They all remain silent, and Michelle and the kids did not know that. Lucy snickers and thinks it sounds funny.

Lola then asks. "Did you make these, Gramps?" she picks up the wooden figure of a squirrel.

"Yup, had a lot of free time and boom! Made these things, and also some of them are not easy to make." Leonard looks to the wood carve figurine of a moose, and they can understand what he means. Leonard then asks. "So, where are the others?"

Lincoln explains. "The rich folks are having a big Christmas Party event, and so the others decided to go and enjoy that. We decided to come here instead… As a plan B, which we had to do at the last minute, and cancel the…" They look to Michelle who doesn't look pleased. "Plans."

Leonard can see, that what he did was a bad timing. 'Maybe I should've sent the invites before December, and maybe then things won't be so messed up. Dang it!'

Michelle sighs. "We'll figure things out, as long as we still have the whole gift exchange thing going down, right guys?" They all nod, and they have their gifts ready too, and they also brought the pets with them along with their Pokémon.

"So, we should probably go and get our things into the—" Just then Lynnard hears another car show up, and they all turn around and see a blue pickup truck and it has a sign with a moving bicep, and it's called Endure-Lance Gym, and this makes Lynnard gasp, and the others are shocked.

Michelle and Amanda are confused. "Are you kidding me?!" They have been trying to get in contact with them for a long while this month!

Then the window rolls down, and they see this muscular man, Lance Loud. He growls seeing Lynnard and the two brothers confront each other, and speak at the same time. "What are you doing here? I asked first! Dad!"

Leonard sighs. "Dang it, boys calm down. Look, I brought us all here to try and get us all back together again. You haven't seen each other for some time after… That incident."

Lynnard and Lance yell. "He started it!" Then they all cover their ears, and the birds fly off, and they see Michelle Lewis, pointing a shotgun to the air, and all of them are shocked.

"I have a license for this thing, and did my training with guns, I also can shoot rifles and sniper rifles." This makes Amanda blush and Lincoln thinks it's awesome, and Luna wishes she could have a license for a firearm, and also some lessons. Michelle then puts the weapon away. "What the heck is going on here?!"

Amanda then speaks. "We have been trying to get contact with them since the start of December, and nothing. I don't understand this, how the heck did a letter from… The fish thing, huh?"

This African-American woman, who is Sharon Loud explains. "We didn't get any messages because apparently my husband keeps track of them and thought they were some scams, but he knew that Leonard would send a fish as a package, and also it smells and we haven't even cooked it yet. But we have it in the back of the truck."

"Yeah, we also didn't cook it yet" replied Rita. "Instead, Cliff finished it." The car burps and still feels satisfied.

Michelle Lewis is close to losing her temper, and Amanda is counting to ten to calm down, and this angers Lincoln and Luna, and the other Loud sisters. Then they see them, their cousins, Shane, Shelby and Shiloh. Then Lance speaks. "Everyone back in the truck!"

But then his wife intervenes, and helps him with his mantra, which helps calm him down. "Alright fine. But, I am not happy about this!" Michelle and Amanda now see why Lynnard hates this guy.

Lynnard is about to speak, but then Rita coughs, and looks to her husband in anger, and so he stays quiet but still looks upset seeing his brother again. Luna sighs and she pinches the bridge of her nose. 'This is not gonna end so well, and I thought we would spend time with Aunt Sharon, and the cousins. Why includes this moron?!'

Rita and Sharon interact with each other, and so do the Loud kids. "Good to see you again Shelby, and also… What are you wearing?" asked Lincoln.

"This is my Santa sweater, I made it myself!" Shelby then makes the Santa mouth move. "And it's going to be a holly jolly Christmas time for us cousins! Ho, ho, ho!" They all chuckle hearing that.

"Top of the van cannon ball!" Shiloh jumps from Vanzilla, but Lynn Jr. catches him, and hugs her cousin.

Shane then speaks to Luna. "I am so glad to see ya again, cousin. Always nice to spend time with the best dang musical performer in all of Royal Woods, and also… Is it true?" The other Loud's also wanna know, and so Luna speaks.

"All true, Shane" replied Luna. "Lincoln and I, are no longer Loud's. We got adopted by Michelle Lewis, and we see Amanda Bright as our other mother too. We had a big fall out issue with Lynnard and Rita, but things have changed, and everyone ahs accepted everything, and even though we aren't Loud's, we still each other as family, and even you guys."

Sharon is happy to hear this, and she too wants to know more about Michelle Lewis, and she does notice the engagement rings on the fingers of Michelle and Amanda, and boy does she wanna talk about that one. Then Lance laughs. "Ha! I knew it, I knew that moron of a brother of mine would make a horrible dad! You literally just broke things off, and don't have your only son anymore!"

This infuriates Lynn Sr. and he is about to speak, but Rita does. "We have dealt with the issues, and even I feel guilty for what we did, and how we treated Lincoln and Luna, and also the others. But at least we learned from our mistakes and have accepted change. Which is one thing, that is hard to see from you and Lynn ever since… The White Elephant incident."

They all glare at both Lynnard and Lance. "But he started it!"

"And it has to be buried and left gone!" yelled Leonard. "I can't even stand just seeing you two apart. I had issues with the Lewis', but that's over now, and I have learned to accept things and make amends. For some reason, you two are still too hard headed or dense to even make amends and fix things."

"We all haven't seen our cousins in a long time, and to be honest… You're a jerk uncle Lance" replied Lincoln. "Wait, I should just call you Lance." This shocks Lance Loud, and the others also agree.

"We understand and we get it, kinda sucks that our dad helped cause the issues between him and his brother" replied Shane.

Shelby then adjusts her glasses. "I really missed spending time with you guys, and I wanna more about how you have all been doing and—Whoa, what are those?!" She sees Machop, Swadloon, Banette, Azurill, Serperior, Revavroom, Pidgeotto and then Metagross lands down hard on the snow, he was levitating around the camp the entire time.

Lincoln chuckles. "We have a lot to talk about." They all start getting their things, and headed to the log cabins they will be staying, and Lincoln has so much to talk to his cousin about what's been going on back home. Sharon also speaks with Rita, and she even explains that it is true about her and Lynnard going to jail for a year with parenting lessons. Sharon is not against it, and she is glad Rita changed.

Lynnard just grabs some of his stuff, and he doesn't pay heed to his brother, and Lance does the same too. But then he goes over to speak with Michelle and Amanda. "Listen, Ms. Lewis, it is nice that you took in Lincoln and Luna, and away from my moron brother. Ya know, I always knew he would be a total idiot and couldn't be able to handle—"

But instead, he is slapped hard in the face by Michelle, and then Amanda kicks him in the shin. "You are a big, dumb and stupid bully of a jerk!" They then walk away, and then Pidgeotto does gust, and knocks Lance away.

Lance gets up and sees his wife look at him with disappointment. "To be honest, what they did was pretty much justified." She then helps Rita and the others, and this confuses Lance.

Leonard then goes to his son. "Lance, you have to fix things, and make amends. You are pretty much the reason for—"

"Why does everyone have to keep bringing it up?" asked Lance. "Lynn should've thought fast and then maybe he wouldn't be such a—"

Then Leonard slaps his son, and this shocks Lance. "Lance, what you did was bullying, and also… Mean, and reminds me of myself. But I changed, and I was man enough to show that I am wrong and show my weakness. Let's see if you can do the same, because I don't wanna have to one day see you as a disappointment. At least, Lynnard is changing, and accepting everything that happens now."

Leonard walks back to help the others, and this confuses Lance Loud. 'I can show that I made a mistake, but Lynnie is just a dumb big baby. I can make amends, and I can start by talking to the Lewis'!'

(Later in the day.)

Lincoln and Shelby walk together around the camp, and talk about what's been happening. "I am so proud of you, cousin" replied Lincoln. "You are doing an amazing job helping in being a good big sister, reminds me of myself when I was doing my part to be a good big brother, and middle Child. But things have changed, and now I have a big sister, and I am okay with it."

Shelby nods and then she sighs. "I wish I could visit often at Royal Woods, but things have been distant between us, and my dad is just… I wish he could admit what he did and just bury the freaking hatchet. The issues between Lynnard and my dad is just so annoying. I miss the Christmas moments we all had together."

"Same" replied Lincoln. He then thinks and has an idea. "Shelby, if things don't turn out well this week… Then talk to your mom, and have her put her foot down, or have her take some advice from a mother who has a strong and powerful confident personality, my mom. If it works, then you and Shane and Shiloh can come and visit us with or without Lance Loud."

Shelby liked this idea. "Now that sounds like a good idea!" She then makes the Santa head on her sweater talk. "And I think it is a Good List idea too! Ho! Ho! Ho!" They both laugh hearing this, and even Luan laughs overhearing the joke Shelby made.

Then Shelby asks. "So, tell me about the girlfriend you made? Is she awesome and cool?" Then they see Metagross following them, and this confuses Shelby. "And what the heck is he and those things?" She means the other Pokémon.

A/N: They did not see this coming, and chances this week is going to be a rough one, but some truths might be revealed and could end up bad real fast. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter guys.
