꩜ ⋆࿔* : I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR, speaks [THE CREATOR] ; as DIRECTED by @scratchizm

chicago screams 'neath the rageful stars, even the moon - blotted in chaos, craters cracked & silver surface punctured in a sea of rose, dully-shines above calamity. despite it all - strums of acoustic strings merge with the murderous cries of innocence, not the usual style of music performed by this [ CREATOR ] but solemn chords as human-vessel fists drum 'gainst guitar wood seem appropriate amongst the madness. rump 'pon rotten corpses & bodies already blasted in to ash & bone, the retired sits, head in a faraway bow as if he were on a beach in fucking hawaii, rather than surrounded by the downfall of one of his infinite designs. luan stands besides him, irises burning nuclear-white as time, time, time again persuasion has fallen flat. we need your help ; please, you are the only one who can !! what will it take, huh ?? we can find pandora, we can bring you to her . . . until his patience wears thin & the only wasted words that can pool from the shaman's mouth ?? YOU'RE A SPINELESS, PATHETIC CUNT. ❝ hey man - ❞ the retort comes softly from the creator / loto to those that have known him since his plunge onto earthly soil & within a human figure since 1975. ❝ wouldn't go that far, luan. don't get y'ass upset, ain't worth it. ❞

rising, boot crunches 'pon the decaying bones under his once-omnipresent light ; beautiful, ageless, a beacon of hope to all who roam the cosmos. luan thought it once, believed that through every flaw & falsehood in primordial governments & eternal sorrow that would never surrender ?? him - oh, he was meant to be one of the Good Ones. he was meant to be the healer, the salvation, the eternal embrace for everyone. what is he now ?? [ oh, what are you now, luan agonizes within ] yet the bright-flame of rebirth doesn't scare loto, the act of care left to nothing but smoking embers a long time ago. in fact, looking 'pon one of his children, there is only one spark that resonates 'neath the emotionless surface - yearning. nostalgia for a timeline where humanity had never soured loto's will to fucking live. shrugs his shoulders then, placing his guitar 'pon the brickwork nearby. ❝ i never forgot y'birth, lu. y'still one of my favorite kiddos, born for somethin' bigger than what y'were. i guess -- ❞ & he gestures to the frenzied rampage that surrounds. ❝ y'were made for this. preparing for y'rebirth. ❞

Moot appreciation post!

And here! My sona!!

MY BOUNDARIES:

Moot ≠ Friend. If I consider you a friend, I will ask of you consider me a friend. Or vis versa. While I enjoy all my moots, I don't use the word 'friend' lightly, and require a bond with someone before I consider them a friend. So please if you want to be friends, ask!

Moot ≠ DM me whenever. I do not like getting DMs randomly. You can ask for DMs, and that's fine. And if we've DM'd before, or you're a friend/online family, you can DM me whenever! (I've legit unfollowed people for being too pushy w/ DMs, don't test me please!)

Friend ≠ Online Family. Please please please PLEASE do not tell me I'm part of your online family, it feels like a relationship (/p) is being forced on me!! The ONLY people I consider family are: Inka, and her partners Italic and Juno. (<- I haven't talked much to Juno though sadly.) And My twin, my brother Argos, Rick, (He's my best friend to me.) Casey, and my platonic spouse Aph.

Talking about NSFW: That is, an EXTREMELY private and sometimes triggering topic to me. ONLY with my very very close friends would I ever be comfortable talking about that. Do NOT make sexual jokes towards me, that's a good way to get blocked. /nm/srs

Also, I am highly uncomfortable being called a lesbian!! Please refrain from doing such!!

Girly pop, dudette, gurl/girly, lady, miss, mrs, ms—Feminine terms are off the table. Please don't use them on me!

Tagging: Tag games take a ton of mental energy for me!! While it's VERY appreciated and welcome to tag me in things, please don't be hurt if I don't reply back!!

Tone tags appreciated!!

Try to TW stuff before showing me/sending asks if it's triggering! 👍

chapter 8: bros so obsessed w me

IRL, INSTAGRAM & IMSG!

a month & a half later

“yo, wassup guys!” connie shouted at the camera from the passenger seat.

the four of you were in jean’s car, with jean in the driver’s seat, connie in the passenger seat, and you and sasha in the backseat.

“could you be any fucking louder, bro?” jean questioned while rolling his eyes.

“anyways!” you exclaimed from the backseat. “today we’re doing a q&a slash would you rather in the car, because why the fuck not?”

“we also have chipotle!” sasha said, putting her burrito into the camera.

“i swear if i see one grain of rice in my goddamn car, you guys will never set foot in here again.”

you three giggled at jean’s words, even though you knew he was dead serious.

“so,” sasha started. “we asked you guys on instagram to send us some questions.”

connie then opened instagram on his phone and entered the group account.

“yo, over 10,000 replies is crazy.” he said, scrolling through the replies.

question 1: when did u guys first start making youtube videos?

“we started making videos as a group back in middle school.” connie answered before taking a sip of his root beer.

you and sasha groaned. “those videos are mad embarrassing” sasha said.

you all nodded. “i looked fucking terrifying with braces.” you said.

“bro looked like missy from big mouth.” connie said before him, jean and sasha bursted into laughter.

a picture of younger you appeared onto the screen, with a picture of missy beside it. the words ‘spot the difference (HARD)’ were also on the screen.

“connie, you laughing a bit too much for a bitch who looked like eleven for most of their life.” you replied while rolling your eyes.

jean choked on his soda and sasha continued laughing.

“no,” laugh “fucking,” laugh “way,”

a picture of younger connie appeared onto the screen with a picture of eleven beside it. ‘twins’ was put onto the screen.

“the fuck are you two laughing at?”

“yeah, sasha. you literally looked like that funny bitch from the loud house,”

“and jean looked like sherman from mr peabody and sherman. with those round ass glasses.”

they both went silent and you and connie laughed. they then joined in and continued laughing.

🫧

jean was answering the twelfth question when you got a notification on your phone.

it was a text from eren.

hot british guy: hey are you busy?

it had been a month and a half since you gave him your number, and you guys had been texting everyday. you had found out a lot more about him, like the fact that he lived with his adoptive sister and their childhood best friend.

you opened the text message and replied while your friends were arguing about which gatorade flavor is the best.

with a smile on your face, you turned your phone off and rejoined the gatorade debate.

“bro fruit punch is literally the best flavor.” connie said.

“nah. we all know its lemon lime,” you replied, and sasha nodded her head.

“i agree. cool blue is definitely in second place.”

connie turned and looked at sasha with a hurt expression on his face.

“sasha, what the fuck? i thought you were my twin?”

“don’t ever do that expression again,” sasha told him before busting into laughter.

“okay!” jean said to the camera. “i say we wrap this shit up, before connie has a fucking meltdown,”

“fuck you!”

“hope you guys enjoyed the video, bye!” you and sasha said in sync.

[ask-eden]

The manaphy cocks her head in confusion at the mew's words Immune:... "formal"....? What do you mean? Eden: W-well It's... It's just.. You're talking to me like... L-like im your master!... or something.. OR y-your dad... or... some.. important.. dude.. a-and I'm not... Eden: I d-don't want... THIS... to be like... THAT... I just.. I want us to be equals... Just.. can talk to each other without... labels like that.. If that makes sense..? Immune: I think it does.. I am sorry, I should have asked before assuming.. The manaphy nods, her antennae flopping back and forth with each nod as she processed the information. Her face mildly scrunched as she thought for a moment Immune: So, would you prefer I just call you Eden? Or do you have a nickname I should call you Sir- I mean Eden? Eden: Well... uh... The mew thought for a moment before a sudden pang of pain stabbed him in the chest. He did have a nickname But it was something that only Luan called him.... Luan.... You'll never see her again.... Eden winced at that thought, biting his lip nervously and looking away from the manaphy Eden:.. I guess... I do have one... I had a friend... She was really nice... m-meant a lot to me... She used to call me "Eedee"... Immune: heehee... Eedee? That's a silly nickname! You're friend sounds silly! Eden: W-well she was.. silly... and v-very nice.... She was my best friend... Immune: Did something happen to her? Eden: N-no... She's fine.. I just... BEcause of.. ALL THIS.. The mew flails his hand around dramatically in gesture to the situation they were in Eden: I won't be able to see her again... Immune: I'm very sorry to hear that. Eden: so U-um... I guess... you could... call me that.. If y-you wanted. M-maybe.. just.. as a... Immune: Would it comfort you if I called you that, Eden? Eden:... It might.... I d-don't want to forget her... Immune: Then consider it done si-I mean... Consider it done! Eedee! Eden's ears flick in amusement at the manaphy's high pitched tone at the nickname Eden: You don't have to squeak it like that.. Just Eedee. Immune: EEEEEEEEEEedeeeeeeeeeeee Eden: Eedee Immune: EeE... Dee? Eee DUH.. Eden chuckles a bit at the manaphy struggling to say the nickname in a normal tone But quickly flinches as suddenly the heart shaped object in his hand flickers

Eden: W-what was that Immune: Oh! Looks like you're waking up! Time to go!

The dreamspace begins to flicker, getting slightly darker and more blurry around them Eden could only nod in reply to Immune as he shifts uncomfortably as everything begins to blur and twist around him The manaphy stands and bows in respect to the mew, before standing back up and waving her arm

Suddenly even Immune begins to fade away as she continues waving at the mew The world slowly gets darker and darker, enveloping Eden fully It's time to wake up.

twitter kpop writers: a masterpost

🦢 Hi, I’m Anne, also known as noirjjong on AO3 and Twitter. Welcome to the Great Migration of Fic Writers, 2022 edition! 

Just kidding, I’m being dramatic. However: since many of us are doubtful about what is going to happen to the bird site, I compiled a list of Kpop real person fiction writers (rpf, rps) who are on Twitter and also have Tumblr blogs. This way, hopefully we can keep in touch even if the bird site breaks down or whatever.

✨ Disclaimer #1: The people listed below are those who replied to my original tweet, and in no way do I claim this list to be all-inclusive. I tried my best to share it and encourage others to share it, but if you want to be added, you can reply to this post or message me with your name, your Twitter @ and the fandom/s you write for, and I’ll add your blog to the list. THE LIST WILL BE UPDATED OFTEN!

✨ Disclaimer #2: I take no responsibility for the content the writers on this list might have published or might publish! Some of them might be minors, so before interacting, have a look at their info pages, etc. to avoid unwanted surprises.

Find the list of writers below, and reblog and share so we can reach as many of us as possible ✨

[melsie-sims]

Ackley didn’t know how to summon a hibernating vampire. Hoping he wasn’t about to do an ultimate faux pas, he ended up simply knocking on her coffin.

“Hey… Luan…” he hesitated. “Don’t worry, it’s been cloudy all day, you’ll be safe.”

“Is everything okay?” Luan asked.

“Yes. Actually, I wanted to ask you that. I heard that you need to feed,” Ackley replied with what he hoped was a supportive smile.

“Did Leobwin come to you?” Luan muttered, looking down at her hands.

Ackley couldn’t begin to understand what she was going through, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t empathize. “Some sims might feel uncomfortable with the idea of being fed on…”

“Yeah, uncomfortable enough to start a war,” Luan rolled her eyes. “You don’t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. I’ve done it for a century.”

“That’s the thing. I do worry about you,” Ackley told her. “And I’d like to volunteer… as a source for plasma… if you need it.”

Luan looked uncertainly at him.

“Are you sure?” she asked.

“Yes,” Ackley was certain. “I brought you here promising a better future. It’s my duty to make sure you get one.”

[arytha]

"Since you've made a contract with me, you're mine. I have the duty to take care of you and protect you, and you also have obligations to fulfill."

Jiang Jubai realized that Xu Luan wasn't joking. Staring into those blood-red eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. "What obligations?" he asked, his voice trembling.

"You must always be loyal to me. I should be more important to you than your family, your teachers, and your classmates." Xu Luan leaned closer to Jiang Jubai, and the boy was enveloped by a humid, bloody smell.

"Of course, you can choose not to see me as that important." The curve of Xu Luan's smile stretched to an unnatural degree, as he stroked Jiang Jubai's earlobe like a willow branch gently brushing the surface of a lake- one wrong move and the branch would dip into the water.

"But I will kill everyone you care about, everyone you love, and everyone who cares about and loves you. In the end, I will be the most important person to you."

"I--I won't. I'Il fulfill my obligations and keep my promises," Jiang Jubai replied, nearly despairing. Yet at the same time, he knew that without Xu Luan, he would have been torn to pieces by some wandering ghost long ago.

👍👍👍👍👍 rest in peace jubai. my poor guy

Loud House Moon Goats Christmas Vacation

After nearly a full month of performing, the Moon Goats are ready to enjoy their Christmas Vacation. Gig after gig, they outdid themselves with awesome Christmas songs they'd written the previous month. It was the time of giving people a new experience in the season of giving, not to mention a rockin 'holiday experience.

At seven am on Christmas Eve, Luna and her band, the Moon Goats arrived at the Royal Woods Mall. They promised Luan, her friends Ruby and Shannon from the Theatre Club, and Leni to help out on Christmas errands at the last minute. Leni took Lily with her to babysit on Christmas Eve with the whole Loud Family making the decision to celebrate Christmas in their own separate ways.

"So your dad was crying all night because this is your first time spending Christmas without your family?" Mazzy asked.

"Yes, you have no idea how many years he wants us to celebrate the holiday." Luna answered.

"But you do realize we haven't come up with an idea of what we can do during Christmas, right?" Sully added.

"Hey, it's not our fault our dad told us to reschedule until our mom gave us the opportunity a couple days ago." Luan said.

"I had to give up on the best Christmas outfit, because our Dad constantly wants me to drop it all because it was getting old." Leni groaned. "I just wanted to be in the Christmas spirit."

"Jeez, talking about sticking to the family tradition forever." Ruby added.

"We don't hate it, we just wanted to do something different for a change." Luna replied. "Though still, I really wanted to do something great with Sam since we couldn't go ice skating with all the skates sold out."

As the group headed their way to the food court, Luna saw Sam sitting alone, waiting. The sad part is despite the gigs she did with the band, she just told her family last night about her skipping family tradition which she's lucky they accepted, as long as she's being honest.

"Hey Sam." Luna walked up to her girlfriend.

"Hi Luna." She responded as Luna sat down. "So...any plans for us?"

"Sorry, but still nothing. To tell you the truth, it has been a busy month outside of our gigs."

"We really wanted to make this special for all of us but then again...this is our first Christmas together." Mazzy added.

"Well you can't expect to have a proper first Christmas for a band like us." Sam replied.

"So are we just gonna spend time in the mall?" Shannon wondered.

"No." Luna replied. "I gotta help Luan and Leni with their Christmas errands soon. And then maybe we can have lunch here."

"I had to work overtime at the Theatre club, so I didn't have time to buy Benny a Christmas present." Luan filling in.

"Were you planning to spend time with him?" Ruby added.

"I would if we had tickets to see a Broadway play of A Christmas Carol, but we don't."

"I gave Gavin his Christmas gift, but he headed down south to celebrate Christmas with his family so, babysitting Lily is all I got." Leni lifted Lily up.

"Lily wants a great Christmas!" Lily shouted.

Soon, Nina and Joey arrived at the food court, seeing the Moon Goats from a distance. "Hey Moon Goats!" She called their attention.

"Nina! Joey!" Sully smiled.

"It's great to see you two." Mazzy added.

"Well after she helped me with the tuba audition from the Christmas parade last week, I decided to help her pay for the Christmas Snickerdoodles." Joey replied.

"I'm in a snickerdoodle mood this year." Nina replied.

"That's nice." Sam smiled. "But we're trying to find our mood, since we have no plans for Christmas."

"We're not doing our family traditions this year unlike the last few years." Luna filling in. "Do you have any ideas?"

"We can do some Christmas carols." Nina offered.

"That'll take time." Joey said.

"Yeah, we all have been doing so many gigs, we didn't have time to listen to Christmas Carols." Sully replied.

"Don't you guys know you can do other activities during Christmas?" Shannon filling in. "Like sure, the Theatre Club does singing as well, but maybe there are other activities."

"She's right." Luan filling in. "How about when we do our errands, we find someone who could give us some inspiration."

"Yeah, you're right." Luna standing up. "But on Christmas Eve, it has to be a fast one."

Luna, Luan, and Leni left the food court, while the group stayed behind. They headed to the costume store to find Leni not only a costume for herself, but also Lily in her size. After picking a sparkling red and white Santa outfit and an elf costume for Lily, they paid for the two outfits as they headed out of the store.

"Why wouldn't you wanna see Sam in a Santa outfit?" Leni wondered.

"Because she told me I would look better in one." Luna answered. "The last time I wore a Santa outfit was when I was eight."

"Yeah, we remember that when you sang so many Christmas songs." Luan smiled. "Do you have Sam's Christmas gift?"

"Yes but it's in our bedroom. I didn't bring it with me because I was saving it for tomorrow. I know how thrilled she would've been if she found out what it is."

"Did she tell you what she likes?" Leni added.

"No, I picked up on hints during our time together, it's a surprise."

"Ohhh..." Luan, Leni, and Lily responded.

"You two would do the same, don't overdo it."

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with savoring the moment when it happens." Leni smiled.

"Yeah." Lily added.

"Though still, we really need to find someone to get an idea on what we're gonna do today." Luna looking around. She then noticed Lori's friend Carol hanging out with Becky after coming out from the camping store. She made her way to the two while her sisters followed suit. "Carol!"

Carol and Becky turned their attention to Luna but little did the rockstar know, they were planning to leave. "Luna?" Carol replied.

"I know this isn't really the time, but I want to spend Christmas with not only my band, but also Sam. Do you have any ideas?"

"Luna, we're actually on a strict schedule right now." Becky replied. "Nothing personal, but tonight is really gonna be special."

"What, does it have something to do with your families?"

Carol and Becky looked at each other and went back to Luna again. "No." Carol responded. "We're gonna be watching the stars tonight."

Upon hearing their plans, Luna just found the inspiration she needs. "Wait, there's gonna be stars tonight? Like real stars?"

"Yes, we're gonna go to the forest while the stars appear above the frozen lake."

"For the last few days, we've decorated the trees at the location and all that's left is for winter camping supplies." Becky said, showing the supply bag.

"Wait, what do you mean by winter camping?" Luan wondered.

"The stars only appear at midnight." Carol answered. "Once we get to our destination, we're gonna set up our camping tents and sleep out there after watching the stars."

"That's...really awesome!" Luna cheered.

"Shooting stars during Christmas!?" Leni squealed. "How I didn't think of that before!?"

"It's called the Geminid Meteor Shower." Carol answered. "Usually it only appears a few days ago, but after the forecast news earlier this month, midnight could be bigger than that."

Luna couldn't pick a better opportunity for the best Christmas on her own. Even if she didn't experience the Geminid Meteor Shower in her life, she wonders how Sam would react upon the stars from the sky.

"Luna, you need to understand this isn't gonna be easy, not even a bit."

"You see, the weather is getting colder and it's gonna be a long night." Becky added.

"Yeah...I didn't forget the time we got stuck in Burpin' Burger to find the winning wrapper for Lana. The snow was that cold."

"We would've been burping icicles if things got worse." Luan added.

"Well you better get the equipment if you really want to see the stars." Carol replied. "Here's where you need to be." She showed Luna her phone on the destination where she and Becky are heading. Luna immediately took a picture from her phone as she's ready to tell Sam and the others their Christmas plans.

"Is Lori and Bobby gonna be there?" Leni wondered.

"No. I did offer, but they already had plans but luckily, Lori told me she found a way to get two other people to come along."

"They're probably already there right now, they really love the location." Becky added.

"Well, Lori is literally missing out on the best midnight in years." Luna grinned. "I'll do whatever it takes to get there." 

"It's not that far away, it's just two miles from the road." Carol added. "I will say, I'm looking forward to seeing Sam. I've heard good things about her." This caused Luna to blush which Carol giggled. "Always the shy girlfriend who smiles especially during Christmas."

"She can't help herself." Leni replied while Lily giggled.

Carol and Becky walked past Luna and her sisters to head out of the mall. Luna took a deep breath, while focusing on her goal. "Okay, I'm gonna go to our band to tell them we're going winter camping tonight to see the stars at midnight!"

"You sure this is gonna work out?" Luan wondered.

"I'm sure, it's a once in a lifetime chance for me and the band. I promise I'll get back to you with the errands." Luna headed straight back to the food court while Leni, Lily and Luan looked at each other.

"I'm sure the stars are gonna be pretty like the New Year's fireworks." Leni commented.

"If Luna's taking her band, I'm taking Ruby, Shannon, and my boyfriend Benny along." Luan smiled. "Though it is sad Gavin isn't here to watch the stars with you."

"Nah, I can send him selfies with the stars behind me. He'll be impressed."

"But I am worried about Sam, I'm sure she'll enjoy the stars if what Carol said is true."

"If she is, should we give Luna a surprise from her girlfriend?"

Leni lidded her eyes while looking at Lily. If everything turns out great in the end, she'll make Luna and Sam's midnight the best Christmas ever. She heads back to the costume store to buy Luna and Sam outfits.

After Luna's band agreed to the plan, they began their shopping rush in the mall for the accessories, especially finishing Luan's errands. Upon leaving, the Moon Goats texted their closest friends to tag along on their journey. With one stop at Luna's place to pick up Sam's Christmas present, they made their way to the forest where Carol and Becky were heading. Chuck took the Moon Goats on the road through the forest. After the snowstorm, every tree in the forest is covered in snow to the point where Carol, Becky and others had to clear a pathway to head to the frozen lake, especially when the snow from the trees constantly fell on the ground.

Chunk parked his van on the edge of the road with the Moon Goats heading out, while taking out their accessories. "We're here." Chunk getting out from the driver's seat. "You sure this is gonna be worth it? It's still close to noon."

"We can do something by the frozen lake." Mazzy smiled.

"Then again, winter camping is like summer camping, but colder." Sully commented.

"It's still worth seeing the stars at midnight." Nina replied.

"It's gonna be awesome mate." Tabby hugging Nina.

Then Leni along with Lily, Luan, Ruby, Shannon, and the Moon Goat's friends parked Vanzilla behind the Moon Goat's van. When they got out, Leni and Luan headed straight to Luna who took out her camping gear.

"We're here!" Leni smiled.

"So this is where we're going?" Luan looked at the cleared pathway.

"It seems like it." Luna replied.

"I have to say, I'm mostly wondering what we're gonna do before midnight." Shannon walked up behind Luan.

"We could go skating, but we don't have ice skates." Sam answered. "Then again, camping in the winter is what's on my mind."

"The only thing we can do is make the best out of it." Benny commented.

"You're right." Joey added.

As Luna and the group head through the open pathway, a broadcast TV truck also parked at the edge of the road, revealing Katherine Mulligan, her niece Adeline in her baby leash and her TV crew. "This could be it." She got out of the truck. "On Christmas morning, it will be the best Christmas report any broadcast has ever seen."

As the TV crew took out the camping and broadcast equipment, they headed in the pathway to reach the frozen lake. The two miles Luna and the group took wasn't as stressful as they thought. Even if they had to carry heavy camping equipment, they made sure to put their full focus on setting up their camping spots. Nina, Tabby, Ruby, and Shannon were way in the back carrying food and drinks.

"Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the Geminid Meteor Shower, but bigger?" Shannon asked.

"It'll possibly be a once in a lifetime event, if it's true." Ruby commented.

"Hey, once in a lifetime opportunities should always be taken." Nina smiled. "Who knows, we would probably be the only people to see that during midnight."

"Those people who rejected the idea don't know what they're missing." Tabby added. "You have no idea how thrilled I am right now!"

"So am I, and I'm wondering how Luna is gonna handle this with Sam."

In the front of the group, Luna, Sam, Luan, Benny, and Leni are leading the group with much of the camping supplies. With the rest of Luna's friends from behind, Luna knew she would make it as far upon arriving. But with so much time until midnight, she not only needs to keep herself occupied, but also Sam and the others.

"Sam." Luna spoke to her girlfriend's attention.

"Yes?" Sam responded.

"When we set up our tents, what do you think we should do during our spare time?"

"Well when you showed me the map, all there was a frozen lake. There was nothing close to it aside from the tents."

"Maybe we can ask Carol or Becky when we're there." Luan replied.

"They probably went somewhere other than staying by their tents." Benny added.

"The only thing we could do since we can't go skating is hiking, but during the winter with snow?" Leni blinked. "No fashion show would approve of that."

"I still want to make a snowman!" Lily said.

"Don't worry, I promised we would do it today."

"If we find a way to do something exciting, even at the last minute, we can do it together." Luna slightly smiled.

"Okay, no matter what it is, at least we're spending Christmas together." Sam smiled back.

"Yeah, I know."

In a matter of time, they arrive by the frozen lake with the tents set up with tons of open spots. During the summer, nobody swam in the lake with other lakes slightly farther away being bigger but during the winter, the ice is stronger in smaller lakes than the bigger lakes. As the whole group walked past the tents, they saw Carol and Becky right in front of their tent.

"Luna." Carol took notice of her group's arrival.

"We're here." Luna replied.

"Where can we set up our tents?" Mazzy asked.

"Over there." Becky pointed.

"Thanks." Sully walking past.

It took them time to set their tents up along with the supplies and Christmas gifts, but with the help from Carol and Becky, they followed on really easily. With all the tents, each being shared by two people, the rest of Luna's group relaxed while having some drinks.

"So you two sleep with your winter clothes on?" Joey asked to which Carol nodded.

"Sleeping in a winter tent that isn't necessary when a regular tent is more convenient." Becky replied. "But during a snowstorm, there's a reason why winter campsites don't exist."

"Technically we're making one, but we're not running a camping business." Carol added.

"Well, at least we have the right tools to go through the night." Sam spoked.

"Though we're wondering," Luna replied. "Do you two plan to do anything until the Geminid Meteor Shower comes at midnight?"

"Nothing at all." Becky answered.

"We've been focusing on this whole winter camp along with the whole tree decorating, we just want to make sure we don't miss the stars." Carol replied.

Luna felt speechless of the lack of activities Carol and Becky do aside from winter camping. Of course her hearing about how hard setting up camp felt exaggerated. "It's not even one o'clock and we have eleven hours from now until then."

"We weren't sure okay, just because this is all your first time doesn't mean we've done this before."

"Only a few families saw the Geminid Meteor Shower in Royal Woods." Becky said. "Anyone who denies it just prefers normal camping, that's for any season except winter."

"Well, it seems you can do more in normal camping but still, we can at least do something to use up all that spare time." Sam replied. "There should be something we can do that's close to us."

When Carol looked at the map from her phone, Luna and everyone by the frozen lake saw Katherine Mulligan and her TV crew making their way. "Katherine Mulligan?" Luna blinked.

"The Moon Goats." Katherine smiled. "Didn't expect we would meet again after you performed on Kat Chat." As the TV crew moved past them to set up their winter tents, Luan and Leni, who picked up Lily, walked up next to Luna and Sam.

"Looks like the tv broadcast might be capturing the moment." Luan said.

"Correct. And in the morning, we're going back to the TV station and giving families a great Royal Woods Morning News."

"Wow, talk about doing a service for missing Christmas just for an amazing Geminid Meteor Shower experience." Leni commented.

"They already show it on TV, just not the bigger one." Joey replied.

"Anyway, I'm planning on going sightseeing with my niece soon. It may not be enough in my mind, but my crew are still setting up the TV equipment, especially our broadcast camera." Katherine said.

"I don't blame you, we've all early here." Becky commented. "Then again, we made the choice to be here rather with our families so...this is our price we have to deal with."

"Wait!" Carol called as she headed back to the group. "There's a building close by but it's on top of a hill."

"On top of a hill?" Luna responded.

"I don't know what it is but considering we have a lot of time, we can check it out."

"Perfect! I can give Adeline great sightseeing along with capturing it on video." Katherine said happily, picking up her niece.

"Well at least it's still something." Sam turned to Luna.

"I'm mostly wondering what we can do on the hill, especially the building." Luna wondered.

"Then let's go already." Sully said, standing up from the ground. While the rest of the group relax by the frozen Lake, Luna, the Moon Goats, her sisters, Carol, Becky, Benny, Katherine along with her niece and a cameraman made their way to the nearby hill. After going through the forest from the other side from where they came from, they got out where they saw the hill by the open field. It wasn't as big as they thought so they couldn't see it by the frozen lake.

Upon heading up the hill, they noticed snow steps from two people who went up there. Luna remembered the size of the snow steps, she still remembers the time she had a snow day without school, spending time with her siblings, and remembering the sizes of their footsteps. She may not be an expert like Lisa but she still knows her siblings in some aspects when it comes to size.

"We're almost there." Chunk panted.

With Luna and her siblings reaching to the top, the building is a medium size cabin with a garage on the right. It wasn't the best cabin in the world, but the most cozy at this time of year.

"It's just a cabin?" Becky took notice after reaching the top.

"Well that's a bummer." Luan commented. "But I wonder who's inside."

"Let's not bother them." Sam replied. "If they're staying for the Geminid Meteor Shower, they really rented the money here and not wasted a cent of it."

"I would do the same to be honest." Carol said.

When Luna followed the snow steps from the left side of the cabin, she saw two kids on the edge of the hill, but one of them she recognized very well. "Bro?"

The kid turned around after hearing the B word from someone who calls him that everytime. "Luna?"

"Lincoln!" Luna smiled as she ran up to him. "I didn't expect to spend my Christmas to see you." She then saw Girl Jordan and was surprised to see her. "And your happy Christmas angel." She lidded her eyes, causing her brother to blush.

"Hey, I also didn't expect to meet you out here to see the stars." Lincoln reacted.

"Lincoln, everyone called me and my friends Christmas angels." Girl Jordan said, walking up next to him.

"I even heard when you and her were video chatting, she called you the Gildor Elf." Leni smiled as Lily giggled.

"Guys stop!" Lincoln continued to blush harder.

"Aww! You didn't tell me?" Luan looking at Leni. "I could've come up with a great pun."

"Okay, everyone give him a break." Carol chiming in. "Lincoln and Girl Jordan were the ones Lori talked about and they agreed."

"We were planning on just spending Christmas apart since we did a lot this month, but Girl Jordan wanted to see the stars with me tonight, so here I am." Lincoln presented himself.

"Geez, everyone has last minute decisions." Benny commented.

"It's still our first time watching the Geminid Meteor Shower together with it being bigger than normal. I can't imagine how breathtaking it will be." Girl Jordan replied.

As Katherine and her cameraman reached the top of the hill, her niece cheered from the view on all sides. "This is perfect!" She smiled. "Get the camera ready!"

Luna, Carol, and Lincoln walked up from the edge of the hill while looking at the view in the distance. Nina went past the group to see Luna next to her brother while Girl Jordan took notice. "Is that a new member of your band?" Girl Jordan asked.

"Well, temporary member." Sam answered.

"She looks really cool."

"Thanks, I don't usually get those compliments from fans." Nina smiled.

"Hey, even non-fans can give out honest gestures." Sully added.

"Though I'm wondering what's with the cabin here."

When the group turned to the cottage itself, they agreed with what Sam said but when Sam got close to the window, she noticed it's empty in the living room. "I don't think anyone's here."

"Really?" Girl Jordan seeing through the window. "Yeah, there's no one inside?"

"But it doesn't look dusty at all." Nina also joined in.

Mazzy reached to the front door to open it, but found it to be locked. "We still need a key though."

"What about the garage?" Joey pointed. "Because I don't think it's very heavy, we might push the garage door up."

"Yeah, let's give it a try." Tabby cheered as the group headed to the garage.

Back from the edge of the hill, Luna told Lincoln everything on why she and her band are here. Of course Lincoln would've been in the same position as her sister but his relationship with Girl Jordan isn't the same as Sam's.

"Luna, when you say this is your first time spending Christmas with Sam, did you expect more from it?" Lincoln asked.

"Everyone wants their first Christmas with someone more than better." Luna replied. "If ice skating was my option, I would still want more from it."

"Even me and Becky, which is why we decorated the trees by the frozen lake." Carol added.

"Well, I can't say I would've felt the same way. Girl Jordan wanted to do more before we came here." Lincoln looked in the distance.

"Hey, the only thing I remember from last year is you and her having turtle doves. Don't act like she missed Christmas when she was born."

Lincoln turned to his sister after hearing the complement. "It did feel like that."

"Hey, I didn't get a chance to sit on Santa's lap until I was seven." Carol retorted. "When do you get a chance to sit on his lap?"

"Four years old?"

"Exactly!"

"What? I wasn't rubbing it in your face."

This causes Carol to lean down face to face with Lincoln. "Kids do that when they get their chance. They're not like my friends."

"Was it a bad experience?"

"We all grew up thinking that Santa was real." Carol leaned back while noticing that everyone except Katherine and her cameraman were gone. "Where is everybody?"

The three headed to the front of the cabin and saw Nina, Girl Jordan, Tabby, Sully, and Mazzy push the garage opener up. "We got it!" Nina smiled while they witnessed the inside.

"There's tons of sleighs in here." Tabby looking at the stack of sleighs.

"We can definitely slide down the hill with these." Girl Jordan smiled.

When Luna, Carol, and Lincoln headed to the front of the garage, Nina and the others took one medium size sleigh and walked past them. "There's sleighs inside?" Luna reacted.

"Yeah, we can ride down the hill to pass the time." Sam replied.

"That's actually really great." Lincoln jumped in thrilled. "I'll help you carry the sleigh Girl Jordan." He heads to ad Girl Jordan as most of the sleighs, small and medium, are out of the garage.

"You're thinking about sliding down with Sam?" Carol asked while they saw Sam taking another medium size sleigh out. "It's not skiing, but it's still riding down the hill."

"I do, it's just..." Luna stepped into the garage. "It's not the Christmas moment I wanted with her. Midnight is the moment, but sleighing isn't really what I had in mind to pass the time."

"It's not like it's wasting your time." Carol walked next to her. "I make the best out of using my time on anything that comes my way."

"That's easy for you to say, all I have is my gift to her."

Carol turned around to see Sam nowhere in her sight, outside of the garage. "What did you bring her?" She turned back to Luna.

"A light blue and yellow rockstar guitar pendant." Luna answered. "I couldn't find anything better like a new guitar or something else, so I went to the jewelry store where I found the pendant."

"That's...really unlikely of you to do that."

"I didn't get the choice to go out of Royal Woods. The women who worked there stated that the pendent's rare and I was lucky that they had her name on top of the guitar." When she took a deep breath, Nina overheard everything while hiding by the garage door.

Just when Luna headed out, Nina got out of the way while heading inside. She wanted to make things better between her and Sam, but it requires a lot more for them to spend quality time. But when she turned around, she saw two pairs of ice skates that are the right sizes for Luna and Sam. "This is perfect for her and Sam."

She headed to Katherine who her cameraman finished setting up and preparing to record. When she slightly pulled on her winter jacket, Katherine took notice as Nina whispered into her eye. Katherine liked the idea so much, she was willing to have it included on television. "I like the way you think, kid." She smiled.

Nina headed back to the group who all set up their sleighs. She shared a sleigh with Tabby from the front and Becky from the back. Leni, Luan, and Benny all shared one with Lily in front. Carol shared hers with Lincoln and Girl Jordan with her right in front of them, Chuck had his own sleigh for himself, Sully and Mazzy all shared one as Luna and Sam sat on their own sleigh.

"Are we all ready?" Carol asked, holding onto Lincoln.

"I'm ready when you are." Mazzy responded.

"We can do this as many times as we want, we have a lot of time." Becky added.

"This is gonna be exciting." Sam responded. "I did this with my brother last year, but not on this high of a hill."

When Luna looked straight down, it was a bigger hill then expected. If people walked up here, they're would be no way of them sliding down. "Yeah, he'll probably be exhausted by going up the hill several times."

"Would you?" Sam turned to Luna.

"Probably, if the hill wasn't so big."

"You'll be like my brother, even though you're in shape."

With everyone in their sleighs, they pushed them down the hill with Leni and Carol's coming down first. Becky and Sully came second while Luna and Chuck's came down last. "See you at the bottom, mates!" He called while sliding down.

The speed of Luna and Sam's sleigh due to the height of the hill was beyond what they expected. The two tried to hold on with the speed of their sleigh being much faster. They went past Becky which took her and the others by surprise.

"Whoa!" Becky reacted.

"They're going down fast!" Tabby shouted.

Soon Luna and Sam went past Benny and the Loud sisters. "Luuuunaaa!" Lily pointed and just in the nick of time, she received a high five from Luna.

"Wow, they're going really fast." Benny reacted.

"They're coming up by Carol." Leni replied.

When Carol, Lincoln, and Girl Jordan are focused on the end of the hill, they didn't pay attention to Luna and Sam who went flying past them. Just when they saw them, they reached the end of the hill with their sleighs slowing down. Luna and Sam turned their sleighs to the right to stop as the others stopped their sleighs.

"You beat us!" Lincoln getting out of the sleigh.

"We thought we would've been the first to stop." Girl Jordan added.

"I guess we were lighter than all of you." Sam giggled. "It's disappointing, but it's still not a race."

"And it was still fun!" Luna said. "If Lana was here sliding with Bobbie Fletcher, I would love to see the look on her face."

"Hmm, confident are you?" Carol smiled while raising an eyebrow. "If you participate in the skiing event at the olympics, let's see who's the more confident one."

With the other people stopping, they were amazed to see Luna and Sam sliding past them. "That was amazing!" Luan getting out of her sleigh.

"I want to do it again!" Tabby reacted.

"Should we get the others to slide down?" Leni offered.

"Sure if you go get them." Chuck picking his sleigh up.

The group continued to go back up the hill and slide down. Leni went back to the frozen lake and brought more people to join in. For the next hour, they continued to slide down the hill while Katherine recorded them. Not long until she and her niece took a turn, sliding down with Adeline cheering in excitement. Luna and Sam were having a blast sliding down multiple times. When everyone took their final slide down the hill, they reached back up to return the sleighs in the garage while heading back to the frozen lake. However when Nina became the last person to put her sleigh back, she took the two pairs of ice skates and followed the group.

When they made their way back to the frozen lake, they decide to take a break with the amount of time they still have. Nina sneakily went into her tent to keep the pair of ice skates a secret from Luna and Sam. But after she got out, Luan, Leni, Lincoln, and Lily spotted her.

"Were you carrying something?" Lincoln replied.

"Yes, but it's a surprise." Nina answered.

"Oh, that's totes a coincidence, because we already have a surprise for our sister Lu-" Luan covered Leni's mouth.

"Leni, don't blurt it out loud." Luan said.

"You also have a surprise?" Nina blinked.

"Yes?"

"What's this all about?" Lincoln replied.

With Lincoln being the only one not keeping secrets, the rock girl and sisters had to confess to each other. "We brought Christmas outfits for Luna and Sam." Leni answered.

"And I was carrying two pairs of ice skates from that hill we just went on." Nina answered. "It's mainly for Luna and Sam."

"As in, the two skating together on the frozen lake?" Lincoln asked as Nina nodded. Lincoln wanted to help out his rock and roll sister, but for how his sisters and Nina were setting everything up in secret, he wondered how Luna would react upon the moment's arrival.

"We've brought dresses for Luna being dressed up as Mrs. Claus while...it's a surprise for what Sam's gonna wear." Leni confessed.

"The Geminid Meteor Shower didn't feel like enough for her, so we wanted to make it better. It's almost a Christmas miracle she hasn't found out yet." Luan commented. "Then again, we didn't even prepare for the two at the last minute."

"Seems you didn't think of the idea of them skating together." Lincoln said, catching on to what was going on.

"If we did, we would've planned everything out. But I couldn't afford two pairs of ice skates." Leni said.

"If I took that opportunity alone, it would take me weeks, maybe even months to make it work between her and Sam." Nina commented.

When Lincoln looks at Luna who's hanging out with her band, including Sam, there's still lots of time before midnight arrives. Even with the trees decorated, he may find a way to make Luna's Christmas with Sam better.

"Be right back." Lincoln saw Girl Jordan hanging out Carol and Becky who were testing the Christmas lights. When he got her attention from behind, he whispered into her ear while keeping an eye on Luna and Sam not spotting him. Girl Jordan found the idea perfect as she joined in on Lincoln's plan. When they come back to the sisters and Nina, there's only one way to make Luna's Christmas better. "Let's do some more errands."

"Perfect." Nina agreed.

"Let's get this show on the road." Luan smiled.

"I can drive...but I'm low on payments." Leni added while Lily giggled.

Lincoln, his sisters, Girl Jordan and Nina, made their way to the exit from where they came from, only for Luna to take notice. "Hey!" Luna called as she walked up to them. "Where are you all going?"

"More sightseeing, since we still have lots of time before the meteor shower."

"We'll be back before night time." Luan said.

"We're mostly impatient, staying here isn't gonna occupy us for that long." Nina replied.

"I don't blame you, but I'm not risking the chances of missing the meteor shower at midnight." Luna looked up at the sky. "Hope you all get back."

"We will." Leni spoked.

The group headed back to Vanzilla to drive to stores outside of the forest. It took them to four separate stores to search for the stuff they're looking for. It took them all afternoon, but they managed to get everything that they needed. During their trip, Girl Jordan came up with an idea that'll make Sam more pleased when it eventually happens, just like what Lincoln did for her last year.

Nina managed to rent more pairs of ice skates for the people by the frozen lake for one night, but at the same time, she'll do more with them knowing that Katherine Mulligan wants her Christmas report to be memorable. Of course, she doesn't want everyone to stay off of the frozen lake, leaving Luna and Sam all alone before the meteor shower arrives.

By the time they headed back, it was starting to get dark out with the sun setting below the horizon. Even with only six hours left until the moment itself arrives, they still have enough time to set up the moment between Luna and Sam. Luan texted her boyfriend, Ruby, and Shannon on their plan for Luna, to which they accepted. Upon arriving back by the frozen lake, most of the trees around are lit up with each tree having one set of colors while some have multiple colors. It wasn't the best Carol and Becky set up, but for their first time, they at least contributed.

Luna and Sam both came out of their tents while taking notice of her brother, sisters and Nina coming back. They both walked up to them after five hours being away as Luna's becoming inpatient despite keeping on track of time. "You're finally back." Luna replied.

"I told you we'd be back by nightfall." Luan replied.

"Is there anything else you're gonna do until midnight?" Girl Jordan asked.

"Not much, we did spend time with the band performing songs...despite no instruments." Sam said.

When the group turned to the frozen lake, Luan and Nina turned to Benny who popped his head out of the tent. "That's good, hey Sam, is it okay if you can do an activity with Luan's friends?" Nina pointed at the tent just as Benny got back in.

"Sure, it'll keep me occupied for a little while." Sam made her way to the tent.

"Speaking of activities, me and the Moon Goats are all out of options. Then again the whole meteor shower is really testing my patience."

"Then how about we do something together in our tent?" Leni offered and Lily cheered.

"Even sisters need to keep themselves occupied." Luan smiled.

"Okay." Luna smiled as she and her sisters headed into their tent.

"Okay, you two tell everyone about our plan, but remind them to not tell Luna and Sam." Nina spoke to the preteens.

"We got everything under control." Lincoln smiled.

"Especially the unexpected moments." Girl Jordan lidded her eyes.

Lincoln and Girl Jordan reached everyone by the frozen lake, while Nina hid the surprises behind one of the tents when the moment arrived. For the next five hours, it's getting close to midnight, just thirty minutes away. It was a quiet time while Luna and Sam remained inside their tents. Carol and Becky looked up at the sky with tons of stars.

"The meteor shower should be coming in half an hour." Becky commented.

"The meteors from last week were smaller, but bigger?" Carol wondered. "Science and the solar system can be unpredictable."

"At least it's not an asteroid crashing into earth at unpredictable speed levels."

Katherine and her crew are at their tv set up, while Katherine is keeping her niece occupied. Everyone who's outside of their tents are waiting for the meteors to come past them, all except Luna, Sam, her sisters and Luan's boyfriend and friends.

"Wow, this Christmas outfit is perfect for me." Luna looking at her reflection from Leni's mirror.

"Does it take you back to your childhood?" Leni smiled.

"Yeah, minus the sparkles. And the ice stakes." Luna looked down at her boots.

"Don't worry, I've heard that the ice in the lake is really strong, thanks to the snowstorm." Luan added.

"You mean you want me to ice skate on the frozen lake?"

"It's not hard to get used to."

"What about Sam, is she also gonna ice skate?"

"Yep." Leni replied. "I bet she'll be surprised when she sees you in that outfit."

Luna can tell where this is going, but not catching on completely on her sister's plan. Especially since her girlfriend Sam is in the other tent hanging out with Luan's classmates. In the other tent, Ruby and Shannon took their time to put Sam in her outfit, but compared to Luna's, it was a bit harder to do.

"Is this really necessary? It's really cold outside." Sam said while shaking.

"It's only for tonight." Benny replied.

"Besides, doesn't it look great?" Ruby commented.

"I'm not gonna lie, it makes me stand out as a beautiful girl during the Christmas season." Sam looked at her outfit.

"If only we could rent them for Theatre Club plays." Shannon said, being mesmerized at the outfit.

"I'm still on the fence with the whole ice skating thing. I did take lessons, especially pairing with a partner, but on the frozen lake, aren't other people gonna ice skate?"

"In a little bit." Ruby answered. "Trust us, you won't regret this."

"It's just, I thought this would've been an appropriate time to do it earlier than thirty minutes before the shower starts."

"It's not like you're gonna miss it when you're outside like everyone else."

"I can guarantee that you won't fall when the meteors shoot past." Benny said. "If you're good at ice skating, you should be able to keep your balance with your partner."

Sam soon picked up the pieces with one more question in mind. "Who is my partner, by the way?"

"Take a wild guess." Both Ruby and Shannon smiled while Sam lidded her eyes. By the look on their faces, she won't jinx the moment of the partner she's skating with.

Back outside, Lincoln and Girl Jordan stand together in front of Luna's tent while Nina and Joey stand together in front of Sam's tent. fifteen minutes have passed with only fifteen minutes until midnight. With the people in Royal Woods sleeping until Christmas morning, people by the frozen lake aren't wasting their opportunity. A difficult night for first timers, but worth the wait. The Moon Goats along with their friends are sitting as a group, staying on time but also witnessing an ice skating show like from TV but by teenagers.

Luan popped her head out of her tent while Benny popped his head out of his. They gave each other a thumbs up while turning to Lincoln and Nina, giving them the thumbs up indicating that Luna and Sam are ready. Upon the signal, Lincoln and Girl Jordan lifted up a red curtain with pulls on each end to prevent Luna having eye contact with Sam. As for Nina and Joey, they have a white curtain to do the same with Sam.

Carol and Becky took notice of Luna coming out, they've heard about what Lincoln told them earlier and they're gonna join in on the view. "Would you be willing to give two of them an announcement? Like from an ice skating show?" Becky asked.

"Keeping them anonymous makes the show better, this isn't professional ice skating." Carol replied.

Luan and Leni helped Luna stepping on the frozen lake due to her ice skates. With Sam getting the assistance from Ruby and Shannon, the two groups reached the center of the lake and crossed paths. They remain still with Leni and Luan letting go of Luna. "You're ready for this?" Luan backed away.

"I think I can handle this from here." Luna grinned. "I'll love the look on Sam's face when she sees me in this." Sam quietly giggled with Ruby, after hearing what Luna just said. In the right moment, Lincoln and Girl Jordan moved out of the way with their curtain while Nina and Joey did the same. "Merry Christmas Sa-"

Upon seeing Sam in full view, she cut herself off, with her heart pounding. Sam wore an ice crystal sequin patterned outfit, being much more shiny compared to Luna's. Even without any make up, she still stands out more beautiful than Luna, who's the only person wearing a Santa hat. "Ha, Merry Christmas Luna." She giggled.

"That...outfit...is gorgeous!" Luna reacted. "I never thought I would ever say that!"

"And your outfit is adorable."

Luna was shaking, while Leni and Luan kept an eye on her in case she fell over. "Just stay in the moment." Luan leaned towards her sister.

"And backing out is the last thing people do during Christmas." Leni added.

"I'm aware." Luna responded.

"We should let them take it from here." Shannon replied.

"Okay." Ruby smiled. "The lake's all yours."

With the girls getting off the frozen lake, Luna and Sam stared at each other. With the sky filled with stars, Sam took Luna's hand as she moved herself, skating with Luna behind her. Luna saw the way Sam skated from the movements of her legs. She kept her balance as Sam turned to her right.

"It's not skiing, but it's still something." Luna is still distracted from Sam's dress.

"Don't worry, this is just for fun, I'm not expecting you to be an expert." Sam replied. "If we were skiing on a hill, I wouldn't want to see you do a flip of some sort, because you would end up crashing down."

"I've been thinking the same thing."

"Then again, I would've crashed if I was trying to save you."

"Still would do the same thing."

The two giggled while they continued to skate on the ice. With the tree lights glowing around the frozen lake, it felt like skating through a garden at a holiday light show. Even in staying in one place, Sam couldn't believe how hard Carol and Becky worked by decorating the trees. Luna may seem better when it comes to decorations, but she can't deny the place itself is beautiful.

"I want to know." Sam spoked. "I know we're gonna do well in the new year but...what do you bring me for Christmas?"

Luna didn't forget to bring Sam's gift, but on the other hand, she was planning to give it to her on Christmas morning after making the choice to sleep inside her tent. "Do you want me to give it to you now, instead of in the morning?"

"It's almost Christmas, besides, I'm willing to give you mine."

From the gesture of her girlfriend's holiday spirit, Luna made up her mind as she let go of Sam. She made her way to the Moon Goats with Sam stopping herself. "Go get my gift to Sam and hers to me, we're gonna open them tonight."

"No problem." Sully replied, heading into their tents.

"I'm gonna love to see this." Chunk crossing his arms.

"So do we all." Mazzy added as she gets Sam's gift. In no time, Sully and Mazzy got out Luna and Sam's gifts to each other. Upon giving them to Luna, Luna skated back to Sam and handed her gift to her. Katherine and her crew are recording every second of Luna and Sam's skating on the frozen lake and now, they're having the moment together. "This is gonna break ratings for teenage Christmas spirit!" Katherine cheered. "Zoom in on them!" The cameraman followed Katherine's order as the camera zoomed in on Luna and Sam.

"I want to open mine before you open yours." Luna replied.

"Okay." Sam smiled.

While standing still, Luna opened up her gift. Upon ripping the wrapping paper, they're Mick Swagger style headphones with Mick Swagger's face sticking out. "Mick Swagger headphones?" Luna smiled.

"I knew they were rare to find, so me and my mom searched outside of Royal Roods to find them. You can't imagine how hard it was to find them."

The appreciation of searching for a rare gift made Luna impressed, but at the same time, she couldn't do the same by going out of Royal Woods. "Speaking of Royal Woods, my gift isn't from out of town. But I did what I could to find something you'll enjoy."

"It's fine." As Sam looked at her gift, it's smaller compared to Luna's. She did receive smaller gifts in her life especially from her birthdays, but never expected one from Luna. Luna paid attention to Sam as she ripped the wrapping paper from her fingers. With the wrapping paper off, it's revealed to be a small box exclusive to necklaces which took her off guard. She took the top of the box off and saw the guitar pendant.

"Is that...a rockstar pendant...with my favorite colors?" She stuns in disbelief.

"It was mostly a last minute choice, I couldn't think of anything else." Luna slightly smiled. "I was thinking of picking out jewelry and I came across that."

Sam took the pendant out of the box and found it mesmerizing. Thanks to the Christmas lights all around, the reflections on the pendant were beyond beautiful. The guitar, while not the real thing, is fully detailed, as if there wasn't a single spot that was off. When she put the chain on her neck, it was better than how Luna imagined it in her mind.

"So...do you find it good?" Luna asked.

"It's more than good. It's perfect." Sam turned to Luna. "I'm not really into jewelry, but this really fits me."

Meanwhile, Nina checked on her watch that it was close to midnight, it was time for her to head behind the tents. With her running past Lincoln and Girl Jordan, it was also they're clue to do their own thing to make Luna's moment with Sam better.

"I'm glad that you like it." Luna smiled.

"I'll try to find one similar to this, but with your colors."

"I can help you with that, we don't have to wait until my birthday, that's still eight months away."

"Hey, it could be our new year's resolution together."

"Yeah."

Little did they know when they looked above themselves, a mistletoe was hanging above them. Lincoln and Girl Jordan together were holding onto a very long stick that the mistletoe is attached to the end. When they both looked at each other, Luna blushed hard. She kissed Sam a few times, but only on the cheek.

Sam also blushed, but not as hard as her girlfriend. At the same time, she's been thinking about receiving Luna a favor for the good things she did for her, especially today on Christmas Eve. She placed both of her hands on Luna's shoulders which caught her attention, but she didn't lid her eyes. She only looked straight into Luna's eyes so she could pay attention to her. Luna slowly closed her eyes, staying in the moment without anyone in the way.

"Merry Christmas...Luna." Sam closed her eyes and pressed her lips against Luna. She wrapped her arms around her while lifting her leg up. Luna grabbed Sam's body, preventing her from falling but her body is in another level of emotions. She shaked with her heart pounding, but Sam placed her hand on her back to calm her down.

Nina then rushed out from the back of the tents after setting off the surprise. Fireworks flew above the frozen lake, to the sky and exploded. It was also around the time where midnight of Christmas had arrived with shooting stars of The Geminid Meteor Shower. With them being bigger than before, they're in colors of blue, yellow, and purple. Both Luna and Sam opened their eyes while containing their kiss, with the decorated lights, fireworks, and the shooting stars on Christmas, they looked at each other again, and closed their eyes as they savored their best Christmas moment of their lives.

Everyone adored the moment, Tabby whistled from the moment she's witnessing Carol was more impressed with Luna while Katherine found the jackpot of all jackpots for her Christmas report. "You're aware that lesbian kissing isn't allowed on news broadcasts, right?" Her cameraman replied.

"Don't bring in oversensitive censorship!" Katherine leans towards the cameraman. "The LGBTQ community deserve a wonderful Christmas moment from their eyes!"2

After a solid minute, Luna and Sam broke the kiss as the fireworks stopped. They were more satisfied than they thought as Luna breathed after holding her breath. Upon letting the air out, she and Sam made their way off of the frozen lake. "Best Christmas ever!"

"That was amazing!" Mazzy cheered.

"Best romantic Christmas moment ever." Ruby added.

"I'll never stop putting mistletoes above couples during the holidays." Girl Jordan lidded her eyes.

"You really pulled a deja vu from last year little bro." Luna rubbed on Lincoln's hair.

"Wasn't planning on it, but I wasn't just gonna stand here and just watch the stars." Lincoln giggled. "Man with a plan love's out of nowhere goals."

"And besides, this Christmas is all about you and Sam." Luan commented.

"True, but Christmas is all about all of us." Sam replied. "I wanted to thank all of you for this."

"Really appreciated." Luna added.

Carol walked up by Luna, clapping from her and Sam's moment. "If this was part of a movie, you two would win an award for best kiss." She smiled.

"Couldn't agree more." Becky added.

"Anyway..." Nina went past the Moon Goats as she showed everyone her rented box of ice skates with Joey helping her out. "Who's ready to ice skate?"

Everyone cheered as they got a pair out from the box. In no time, everyone got on the frozen lake as they all skated. It felt like ice skating from the big city despite having no buildings, but the holiday feeling is still there, untouched and unchanged. The people who didn't ice skate are Luna, Sam, and Nina, sitting together, watching the people skate while The Geminid Meteor Shower is still shooting meteors from above.

"Aren't you gonna join in?" Sam asked.

"In a little bit." Nina answered.

"Is it because you planned most of this?" Luna guessed and Nina nodded. "You and the others weren't sightseeing, were you?"

"You're already catching on?"

"The moment came and went uninterrupted, this isn't seventh grade knowledge."

"I kind of knew it was a set up, but I wasn't gonna spoil anyone's Christmas errands." Sam giggled.

"Then I'm ahead of seventh grade education." Nina said.

"You bet." Luna taking off her Santa hat. "Nina, for you being an honorary member of our band, you proved to me that you really enjoyed us when we were just enjoying ourselves."

"Well I know bands do more than just gigs."

"Isn't it really a surprise, you've been with us for awhile, you already knew that." Sam replied.

"It's still the truth of them all. It was more than an honor to join your band. And as a person who adores Christmas, an honorary member shares holiday cheer to their closest members."

This causes Luna to roll her eyes, while smiling after months of getting to know Nina. "You're my friend rock star rookie." She wrapped her arm around her shoulder. "I think your new year's resolution is to write one song that can blow me away. No matter how long it takes."

"You're really giving me that honor?"

"Who knows."

"Possibly." Sam commented. "If it's a hit, you could write more songs."

"I will listen to them until the day I die."

"Okay!" Nina cheered. "I also have something for you two." She stood up while opening her backpack. She took out two bags of Christmas Snickerdoodles and gave them to Luna and Sam. "I don't have a lot for everyone, but I wasn't gonna forget about you two."

"Christmas Snickerdoodles?" Sam receives the snack.

"I would've passed them out, no matter what Christmas dessert it is." Luna taking one snickerdoodle out, taking a bite from it. "Thanks Nina."

"You're welcome." Nina smiled. "By the way, I need to return those ice skates back to that cabin."

"We'll do it in the morning. Enjoy ice skating."

Nina put on her ice skates as she joined the others on the frozen lake. "Should we join?" Sam offered.

"In five more minutes. I'm still satisfied from...you know."

"I'm also satisfied, but Christmas has arrived." She stood up while putting her beg in her tent. "And I'm not tired of ice skating again with my girlfriend."

Luna blushed again, while standing up. "Okay then." She took Sam's hand as they both got on the frozen lake. Nearly everyone had the best experience from The Geminid Meteor Shower after waiting half a day to witness it. Less and less stars appear but no one misses the moment they can all remember. Especially when more people see it on TV.

"I love Christmas." Katherine smiled as she joined in on the ice skating with her niece. "I'm just waiting to see the news reporters all around the world jealous of my ice skating skills."

Synopsis:

SVSSS meets 2ha/Erha and make it LiuJiu.

An angsty exploration of Shen Jiu's character and the painful ordeal of being known and learning to trust, with a hopeful ending for LiuJiu.

Sneak Peak Snippet:

Unable to mask and swallow down his displeasure and irritation (and sadness), Shěn Qīngqiū now addressed Liǔ Qīnggē with scornful bitterness (…maybe being a little too unfairly pissed off at him, considering Yuè Qīngyuán actually deserved most of his anger… but, as so often, Shěn Qīngqiū just failed to properly reign in his temper…).

“Well, look who’s finally decided to grace us with his presence! Not that I expected you brute to be punctual…” he, thus, sneered at the Bǎi Zhàn peak lord in lieu of a greeting.

The other just scoffed in reply, sending the scholar a hateful glare right back: “I don’t take criticism from one that is still vain enough to waste qi because he’s concerned about his delicate face in the middle of a fight… What a joke…”

Had Shěn Qīngqiū had his fan in hand, he would have probably cracked its spine in quiet rage at the man’s words (and yet again complete misinterpretation of the matter…).

This absolutely moronic condescending prick! What did he even know!!

… nothing of course… and with Shěn Qīngqiū unable to explain himself, without revealing his shameful background, he had to let the slight stand… merely narrowing his eyes and sending the other peak lord the deathliest death glare he could manage, before spitting at him venomously: “What is the point of you being here anyway? I am almost finished, as you can see, so your help is not needed any longer… Why don’t you just go back to your peak again and leave me be? No need to force yourself to stand my vain presence and for me to have to abide your pea brain…”

The brute had the guts to actually laugh humourlessly at that – or more specifically at him: “Trust me, I’d also much rather be anywhere else than here, but the sect leader’s command was clear… And I do actually follow the tasks and missions I’m given instead of using them to slack off somewhere else…”

These next words hit Shěn Qīngqiū as if the brute had taken his Cheng Luan and impaled him with it… and then given the blade another good painful twist for good measure, before ripping it back out again…

The false unjustified accusation made Shěn Qīngqiū swallow bitter bile. He felt the urge to retort something to defend himself now… even though he knew he had only himself to blame for letting the man and his Qī-ge believe that he had truly used the pretence of going on a mission to instead debauch himself in lecherous sexual acts, while people were left to suffer…

(…although he had been meaning to go on said mission right after stabilizing his core… specifically even had chosen a mission that didn’t seem that dire yet and allowed for some breathing room and a low possibility of things growing worrisome, while Shěn Qīngqiū was shortly indisposed…)

Of course, Shěn Qīngqiū ultimately couldn’t say anything in his defence and had to, yet again, merely grit his teeth and take the insult, damning himself further in the eyes of his shidi and fellow peak lord by not disagreeing…

“Get lost.” Was the only barbed reply the, for once witless, scholar finally came up with, before unceremoniously turning away from the Bǎi Zhàn peak lord to, at last, dedicate all his focus to the still very much visible, wide-open dimensional tear… adamantly staring at the bright qi in front of him without blinking… burning away the furious tears that had suddenly stupidly enough started to rise to his eyes unbidden...

I assume the family has at least a basic idea of Solros' old living situation with Gavin* and some triggers he might have. Have Luan's parents had to make any changes to help Solros feel more comfortable?

*Gavin doesn't deserve to be called his father

Yeah, they did ask him why doesn't he ask his parents for help, to which Solros truthfully replied:

"My father said he was gonna shoot me and went out to buy a gun, so I left. I'm scared of going home."

Other things, such as the fact Solros comes from very harsh living conditions, didn't finish high school, lacks some basic skills etc will slowly be revealed to Luan and his family.

Luan's mother is a teacher, and she homeschooled Luan since the small town they live in didn't have schools for mutants. She is gonna help Solros to finish his high school education too.

Some changes that Luan's family actually did after Solros' arrival, and some, unfortunately, triggering moments (there are not many yet, I'm still working on ideas):

Alcohol is rarely used, even as a party/food drink. Luan's parents only drink wine if they're dining out, the smell of alcohol is a really bad trigger for Solros. The time they figured it out was when Luan's parents had visitors, and they served wine for dinner. Solros left the table and hid in Luan's closet for the rest of the evening. :c

Luan's father used to keep his father's (Luan's grandpa's) old hunting shotgun on the wall of his office, but he hid it in the attic soon after Solros' arrival.

TV shows and movies with a lot of gun violence are usually a no from family movie nights, but if they happen to watch those movies, the volume is usually kept lower than normal. Fireworks are also scary for Solros for this exact reason.

“Wait a minute!”

Danny crawls out of their little hiding spot from under the blanket and launches a pillow in Chai's direction. Unprepared, it smacks him in the face. He goes to toss it back, but her stormy expression gives him pause.

“This is a two-way street, asshole!”

He considers feigning ignorance. Not to play dumb, but just so Danny would say it out loud. He knows, though.

“I'm… also struggling with this medium.”

Danny doesn't entirely understand. She doesn't remember the efforts that led to establishing their environment into a safe space. However, she'd had something of a realisation. Something seemed to simply click into place.

“You don't know what to say unless you're asked a question.”

Chai winces, as though this were a grievous shortcoming that branded him incompetent.

“That is the jist of it, yes.” he admits, before running a hand through his shaggy, ginger hair. He inhales sharply, and exhales deeply. Then, he says, “I think it's a structural issue. I have trouble organising my thoughts into a way to voice them. The things that scare you guys are kind of… raw thought forms with minimal language to express them. It's so easy for you guys to forget that I'm on your side— that's why the playlist exists. For when you struggle to remember that.”

Danny takes a moment to truly consider his words 

From the second they were able to break free, to make themself known, Chai had been nothing but kind and supportive. Loving, even.

“You need me to ask questions about those thoughts so that you can, what, find words for them?” She asks, perplexed.

Back on familiar ground, Chai smiles. “Pretty much, yep. We call it processing. Gets it out there in a way that makes sense to both of us, so it can be properly integrated.”

“Sounds like a lot of words to say that you're dumb.” Danny says with a pout, but she's calmed down now. “Wow, okay, I just felt a rush of questions. Weird. But I don't remember what upset me the other night.”

“That's normal, don't worry about it.” Chai replies easily, popping open a bottle of water.

So what am I supposed to take away from this?

Things aren't defined as easily as you'd think.

Danny startles. Heart pounding, she clutches her last pillow to her chest.

“How did you do that?” she demands. “You were in my head.”

“We're both in your head,” Chai says with a sense of irony. “It's another way to communicate. Some of the other guys can only communicate this way. We're getting better at it, at least.”

“Who is Sage? Is she me?”

Chai doesn't at all seem surprised by the question. Instead, he stares quizzically at his nondescript bottle of water.

“...No, I don't think so,” he answers slowly. “Sage is more like… your manager. She speaks on behalf of certain fragments until they're clear enough to speak for themselves.”

“Can I speak to her?”

“I don't know. You can talk to Hunter, though. Maybe. He's more external, but he's been more passive lately.”

Danny digs her fingers into the pillow in her lap. “I don't want to talk to Hunter. He makes me feel weird.”

Chai's azure eyes light up at her admission, which is immediately noticed. However, before she can remark on it, Danny begins to shrink.

“This is why I don't like doing this when we're not home,” Chai grumbles. “You're vulnerable here, so you can't be out running important errands at the same time. Look at you.”

“Mama mia,” Dani says, despondent, and significantly more child shaped than earlier.

Chai snorts, throwing the pillow at her. Dani is woefully unprepared and it smacks into her. She smacks it in return.

“So, Hunter?” he prompts.

Dani pulls a face.

“Do you want cottage pie for dinner?” he asks instead.

“Lasagne,”

“I don't know if we have lasagne,” Chai tells her, amused. “Do you feel accomplished today?”

“No,” Dani says, but she nods her head. “I want soda.”

Chai sighs out loud, exasperated, but fond. He'd never seen them drop so far, and still be cheerful.

“Am I Riley?” she asks.

“Probably,”

“Ryan, too?”

“No, that's Ki and Luan.” Chai answers, before shrugging. “Probably. Ryan was more external than internal.”

Dani fluffs her pillows and rearranges the blanket around herself, making a little nest.

“Ryan wasn't real,” she says, matter of fact.

“No, they weren't. Ryan was a forced attempt at a persona through Ki and Luan trying to please their high school sweetheart.”

“Gross,” Dani says idly, getting comfortable. “Um, do we gotta talk about the other stuff?”

Chai knows immediately, she's talking about the internal exchange right before regression. He'd explained things that had eluded both Dani and Sage.

“Do you want to?”

“...No, not now.”

Chai watches Dani bury her little face into the pillow.

“Sit tight, then. We'll be home in an hour.”

-Holds up a certain FNAF ghost Sebby to Luan- (Ye can do dialogue. And they both know the pain of having a horrible parent lbh.)

"...so your dad treated you like crap, huh." Luan asked, Sebastian curled up beside the kid.

"Mm-hmm..."

"He needs his ass kicked," Luan said.

"He's already dead. The others helped me make sure of that," Sebastian replied, shrugging a little bit.

In the unfinished castle, the two spellcasters were also discussing the scouting trip.

“I do wonder what’s out there,” Leo said wistfully. “It’s really too bad Luan didn’t have supplies with her to map out the territory or make notes.”

Gemma remained quiet, focusing on adding the right amount of apple slices to their latest experiment.  

“I’ve been considering telling Ackley I’d like to go,” Leo continued after a moment.

“Really? That’d be cool,” Gemma replied.

Leo was a little disappointed by her complete lack of reaction. He was hoping to get some kind of protest. “I won’t go if you’re not completely on board,” he went on uncertainly. 

“It’s fine. You can go, dad, if that’s what you wanna do. Definitely don’t hold back because of me,” Gemma shrugged, looking almost bored with the discussion now. “I’ll be fine here on my own.”

Leo nodded silently.

What was up with her?

Mortal

Had it not been for the fact that Master Qinglong did not have time for a good retreat to examine himself, it would not have been so easy to succeed. Okay, you haven't said the result of this trip yet. Qinglong Said with a smile. Well, you did a good job this time. In this way, I have no worries and can hit the bottleneck in the later period wholeheartedly. When Han Li heard this,pumpkin seed extract, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Hee hee, with the master's cultivation talent, plus the preparation of so many defensive, this breakthrough bottleneck is certainly no problem. I would like to congratulate the master in advance for his great progress. The leopard stick beast blinked He blinked his eyes and said with a light smile. I hope so. Now that you have been transformed, you don't need to stay in the spirit animal ring. You can practice in the secret room next to me. If you need anything, just ask them about it. I They will ask them to meet all your needs. Han Li looked awestruck. Thank you, master. I don't want to stay in the spirit animal ring for a long time. Then I will go to the next door to practice first. When the master begins to retreat,carnosic acid price, I will protect him! The leopard ploughing beast was overjoyed and immediately said Give the words of retirement. 、 Han Li naturally had no reason to disagree, and after a few words of exhortation, he let him leave. As soon as the figure of the beast disappeared, Han Li took a deep breath, grabbed it in the void with one hand, and a messenger emerged. He raised his hand and let it go. Then he closed his eyes and continued to meditate. After a short time, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the secret room: "Brother Han, if you call me here now, is it possible that you will start to hit the bottleneck in the later period?" The voice was very pleasant, but it had a hint of coldness. It was the voice of the woman Bingdan. Feng Daoyou did not guess wrong, Han did have this plan, "Han Li opened his eyes and calmly replied.". A few days later, phycocyanin spirulina ,lycopene for skin, in a secret room of Tianding City, seven or eight members of the Council of Elders of Tianyuan City were gathering together to discuss something. Among them, Jinyue Zen Master, Silver Light Fairy and others are all among them. So, Master Qinglong has really fallen! It's a great pity. It's a great loss for both our races at this time. The silver-haired, white-robed old man sitting in the first seat sighed. Said in a tone. Had it not been for the fact that after Qinglong joined the Council of Elders, he left a piece of soul card in the secret hall, he would not have believed it. According to the monk guarding the by force, it means that he has not admitted that he is a member of our Council of Elders.". In that case, we don't need to pursue it to the end. The most important thing now. Or the siege of the Demon army! The silver-haired old man frowned and said slowly. But after all, Master Qinglong is a combined monk of the human race, and he is also a mid-term monk. He has fallen for no reason. I can't explain to the monks in the city. Besides, this will not Will it affect Lin Luan's attitude toward the city? The monk surnamed Gu of the Dou yuan Began to retreat, but there is such a thing. The silver-haired old man asked Zen Master Jinyue with a solemn look. Well, it's true. Originally,mulberry leaf extract weight loss, I wanted to do my last bit to see if I could persuade Han Daoyou to give up the idea of letting Qinglong Daoyou leave the city.

Loud House Shotgun Cannonball To Black Flag Circuit Chapters 3 & 4

Chapter 3 Celebration License Wreck

Luna and the group returned back home after heading to King Cars. However unlike last time, Lori and Lana won’t be the only ones to celebrate her sister, despite doing that earlier. Luna parked Vanzilla in the driveway again as she and the others got out.

“Team Luna and Lana, here we come!” Lana cheered with Luna getting her car key out.

“Don’t forget my girlfriend’s part of the team, along with our crew chief.” Luna turned to Lori.

“You’re getting way too excited over this.” Sam replied. “You haven't even told your parents about this.”

“We’re not gonna avoid this one. It’s best if we tell them since no one’s gonna miss that you have your driver’s license.” Lori spoked.

“We’re only keeping this between the four of us. And Hops.” Luna walked up to the front door. “Once this whole thing is done with, I’m going back to regular driving, only with a motorcycle on the road.”

As Luna unlocked the front door, she and the group entered inside with confetti blown out of nowhere, flying onto Luna. “SURPRISE!” The Loud family popped out from the sofa behind with a sign appearing from the celine, called, Luna’s Driver License Celebration.

“Congratulations Luna!” Lynn Sr. and Rita cheered.

“Spoke too soon.” Lori bit her lip.

“Excitement to rage coming.” Sam added.

“We’re so proud of you that you finally got your driver’s license.” Rita smiled. “Starting tomorrow, we’re gonna have you drive on the road with all of us inside Vanzilla.”

“To celebrate you getting your driver’s license!” Lola cheered.

“And we pick the best places you love, Luna.” Lynn Sr. wrapped his arm around her.

“Don’t worry, we have a map to have you see where you’re going on the road.” Leni added. “I’ve used those a lot.”

While Luna appreciated the celebration, she’s still making sure she doesn’t have her family get involved. “Thanks dudes, tomorrow will be a great day for all of us.”

“We have food set up on the kitchen table.” Luan pointed as she took her sister to the kitchen table.

“Lana, you were so impatient, you wanted Luna to take you for a ride today?” Rita asked.

“It was more than that.” Lana answered. “We stopped at King Cars.”

“To help Luna find the car she wants?” Lincoln asked.

Both Lori and Sam looked at each other while giving them the answer. “It’s too early to think about it, don’t you think?” Lori asked. “I mean I couldn’t get my car there, so it’s just the first of many car shops out there.”

“Lori, it’s fine if she’s going out to find a car to her liking, it’s just a matter of the right car for her.” Lynn Sr. smiled.

“That is…if she prefers an open door car without windows.” Sam crossed her arms while looking away.

“Aren’t you proud of her though?”

“I am.” She looked back. “But…it wasn’t the reason we went to King Cars.”

In the dining room, Luna picked out her favorite foods from the kitchen table all the while she saw her parents talking to Lana, Lori, and Sam. She then headed straight to the kitchen with Leni, Luan, and Lynn Jr. following her.

“Where are you going? Shouldn’t you be celebrating that you got your driver’s license?” Lynn Jr. eating a hamburger.

“Out into the living room?” Luan added.

“I will, I’m just thinking about my plans since I got my driver’s license.” Luna said, eating her food.

“Sweet.” Leni smiled. “What are your plans exactly?”

Luna took a deep breath while trying her best to prevent her secret from being exposed. “It’s mainly a private driving experience.”

“Sis, your driving test is like a private driving experience.” Lynn Jr. followed on. “You got nothing to worry about.”

“Aside from avoiding getting tickets by following the rules.” Leni commented which caused Luna to flinch. “What? Did you get your first ticket?”

“I didn’t.” Luna replied.

“Then what’s the problem?” Luan asked.

“The problem is, you get newer goals after getting your driver’s license. Complicated goals you’re not ready for.”

“She isn’t wrong.” Leni added. “Lori may have overcome goals, but it was luck that helped her.”

“Yeah, luck when you don’t speed and nearly crash into buildings and trees.” Lynn Jr. remembers the times Leni drove her and the others to places.

“Luna, we know you’re not gonna be reckless.” Luan smiled. “You’re hardcore at playing guitar and instruments, but that’s nowhere near as dangerous as driving a car.”

Luna felt pleased from her sister's gesture. “Thanks Luan, but the goals I have makes me slightly nervous. I want to keep to myself.” Just when she’s about to leave the kitchen, she stops herself with Lynn Sr. and Rita standing in front of her, crossing their arms with serious looks on their faces.

“More like extremely nervous.” Rita replied.

“Luna.” Lynn Sr. added. “What’s going on?”

Luna looked behind her parents with Lana, Lori, and Sam’s heads lowered in shame. Rita then showed Luna the contract she took from Lana, who kept it after leaving King Cars. “What is this?”

“Uhhh…” Luna reacted.

“We can wait all night, you’re not leaving this kitchen.”

Leni, Luan, and Lynn Jr. looked straight at the contract itself. “It looks like a racing competition.” Luan said.

“With Bobble Fletcher racing.” Lynn Jr. added.

“Lana! Stand next to Luna!” Rita turned back as Lana followed her orders. “Explain this!”

Both Luna and Lana sighed, with them being caught red handed, not even two hours since Luna got her license. “There’s a race called The Royal Woods Raceway in two weeks.” Lana answered.

“And we, Lori and Sam entered because…” Luna couldn’t finish her sentence knowing her parents won’t like it.

“Because?” Lynn Sr. placed his hands on his hips.

“Because there’s a motorcycle I really, REALLY want!”

Both Lynn Sr. and Rita groan in frustration while the rest of the Loud siblings hear everything Luna and Lana confess. “No, not gonna happen!” Rita shouted.

“You two are not entering The Royal Woods Raceway!” Lynn Sr. added.

“Mom, Dad!” Lana replied.

“Lana, we don’t want you and Luna to get hurt!”

“Especially Lori and Sam.” Rita pointed at them.

“Technically I’m their crew chief so-” Lori chimed in.

“Stay out of this, you're not in trouble.”

“Tomorrow we’re going back to King Cars to take you off the race.” Lynn Sr. informed.

“But this is the only way I’m ever going to get a motorcycle.” Luna cried.

“You’re never getting a motorcycle Luna, It wasn’t easy for us to get our driver’s license.” Rita replied.

“But Mom-”

“I don’t want to hear it!”

“You two go upstairs in your rooms, the celebration’s over!” Lynn Sr. ordered. Luna and Lana head straight upstairs as Lynn Sr. takes Luna’s food from her. “You should at least be thankful we’re not taking your license away after just getting it.”

Luna stopped just before she turned to her bedroom door. “I didn’t even get a ticket.” She spoke as she turned around. “The race prevents racers from breaking the law.”

“As in, racing without losing your driver’s license, nor giving you non stop speeding tickets.” Lana popped her head only for her and Luna to head straight to their bedrooms. Lynn Sr. and Rita looked at the contract together. They’re beyond disappointed in Luna and Lana, but they did it for the best, even though it ended up ending the celebration when it just started.

However everyone around thought otherwise, after hearing about the race itself. “Mom, Dad.” Lori walked up to them. “I’m not on board with this, but what else can they do?”

“Lana may get over excited, but it’s her only chance to race against Bobbie Fletcher.” Sam added.

“We know she wants to race against her, our biggest problem is Luna.” Rita crossed her arms. “I wouldn’t enter a race competition even if there’s a prize I really want.”

“We just don’t want her to lose all of that hard work she earned after getting her license.” Lynn Sr. added.

The parents made their way into their bedroom while still holding onto the contract. “What about the food we made?” Luan wondered.

“When all of you are full, put the leftovers away.” Lynn Sr. replied as he closed the door.

“Well I’m not letting the desserts go to waste.” Lori rushed to the dining room.

“More meat for me.” Lynn Jr. followed suit. With the rest of the siblings eating what's available, Lincoln stopped at Lori and Sam.

“You sure Luna and Lana will convince our parents to enter the race?” He asked.

“They won’t be able to do that on their own.” Sam replied. “We’re also entering as a team.”

“We still have two weeks until the race happens.” Lori added. “We’re gonna take care of this in the morning.”

“We might go somewhere tomorrow morning…but just us, Luna, Lana, and them.” She pointed at Lynn Sr. and Rita’s bedroom door.

“Luna driving us to her favorite places…literally canceled also.”

“Well hopefully things will work out. I’m actually excited to see her and Lana race.” Lincoln entered the dining room.

Lori and Sam made their way to Lynn Sr. and Rita’s bedroom. Lori knocked on their door as they’re allowed inside. With them having a private conversation instead of a family meeting, it became serious of how the truth put them in a state of panic where they don’t want everyone involved with how dangerous racing is.

Chapter 4 Swagger Field Of Classic Cars

The morning after last night’s celebration, Lynn Sr. and Rita took Luna, Lana and Lori to an open field outside of Royal Woods after breakfast. They also picked up Luna’s band, the Moon Goats to cut to the chase right away. Including Shane Loud who got his driver’s licenses last year. Lynn Sr. and Rita agreed to Lori and Sam to reconsider unless they show Luna and Lana on how they felt before they got their driver's licenses even before they got married.

Lynn Sr. is handling the wheel, while Luna sits in the back next to Sam, Lana, and Lori with the others sitting in the way back. She couldn’t even be thrilled with the ruff breakfast she and Lana had before leaving. “Luna, we don’t usually do this, but decades ago, we didn’t have cars that were all that fast.” Rita turned back.

“We may enjoy the sport of racing, but not as much as you Lana.” Lynn Sr. added.

“It’s still a once and a lifetime dream to be in a race.” Lana spoked.

“True, but I’m not believing that Bobbie Fletcher would allow you to participate at a very young age.” Rita added.

“Even my parents wouldn’t allow me to perform on stage until I turned eleven.” Sam said.

“Aren’t you on my side?” Luna blinked.

“Not completely.”

“Luna, we were excited that you got your driver’s license, but racing is the last thing we expected from you.” Shane Loud commented.

“Not to mention it’s better to take us to places in a car rather than riding on one motorcycle that’s for only one person.” Sully added.

“I wanted me and Sam to ride on a motorcycle together.” Luna turned around. “I can drive a car and a motorcycle if I can.”

“You can only pick one vehicle with a budget that works.” Rita said. “Which is why we're going to an open field where most of the old cars we had back then are currently on show.”

“We may have Vanzilla, but it doesn’t change the fact that we had other options for cars.” Lynn Sr. added.

“You can’t have one option when there’s a hundred more cars.” Shane added.

With Luna and Lana listening to everyone inside of Vanzilla, they try to see the point of view of what they really mean. Soon they arrived in the open field where big lines of cars were parked on the grass. Lynn Sr. parked Vanzilla on the grass with everyone coming out.

“This is a car show.” Shane walked up to Luna. “My parents took me to one of them before I got my license.”

“Did it help you find the car you really wanted?” Luna asked.

“A little bit. The point is, cars can have personality and give the person who’s driving it charisma.”

“Racing cars does give you charisma.” Lana chimed in.

“We know.” Mazzy added.

“We’re not here to find you a racing car, we’re never going to do that.” Lynn Sr. retorted.

“We’re giving you a choice before you make a bad one, it’s not that hard.” Rita added.

“Can we just go to the car show to get this over with?” Luna replied. “You're not making me feel like I want to drive an old school car.”

“You will, once you see them.”

The group made their way to one of the entrances of the car show. The row they picked is the cars from the nineteen eighties during Lynn Sr. and Rita’s childhood. From older types before CD players existed along with wood being the exterior and interior detailing, Lynn Sr and Rita childhood memories all are coming back to them.

“Before we got our driver’s license, we always thought of the prestige of fancy cars.” Lynn Sr said.

“There were car accidents back then, but not as many as in the present.” Rita added.

“They’re right. My mother’s car isn’t as fancy as these cars, but she wouldn’t risk getting into a car accident.” Sam commented.

“Also when my dad showed me the cars he wanted, the fancy one with gold tires gave him charisma.” Shane added.

“Too much charisma if you ask me.” Mazzy replied.

“So why can’t we go to the cars with flames on them?” Luna offered. “If I had to pick with style, it wouldn’t hurt to leave an impression.”

“Also.” Lana thought. “You do know that car shows do have race cars right?”

Both Lynn Sr. and Rita flinched knowing they would at least walk past one race car from past decades. “Yes, we know.” Rita replied.

“Can we just think about cars that don’t speed on race tracks?” Lynn Sr. added.

“We would, if you didn’t make us starve last night.” Luna retorted. “I've been dreaming of food car racers because of it.”

“You really had to take their food away?” Rita glared at her husband.

“It turned the celebration into a possible car accident if we found out later.” Lynn Sr. replied.

“Again, I got my driver’s license just last night!” Luna reacted.

Sully and Mazzy covered Luna’s mouth, preventing any attention from everyone from the car show. “How about we go to a row of vans similar to Vanzilla?” Lori offered.

While Lynn Sr. and Rita agreed to Luna’s point, they took the group to the roll of vans made from the seventies and eighties. While they’re decorated on the outside unlike Vanzilla, it still brought back memories in Lynn Sr. and Rita's life.

“We know you’re never buying a van, but without it, we wouldn’t have memories wherever we go.” Lynn Sr. looking at the shine from one of the vans.

“Sacrificing a fancy car was painful in the heart, but we would only have two to three kids riding in the back.” Rita added.

“Not that I would’ve been the lucky one for being the third child.” Luna crossed her arms. “But I’ve only driven Vanzilla three times and they’re all from last night.” She then walked up to the other vans, one of which having flames. “I was focusing on the road and the only gift I got from it…is feeling the wheel whenever I control it.”

“Luna, driving a car isn’t the same as playing guitars.” Sam replied. “If I get that feeling, I’ll be better off becoming a race car driver.”

“That’s the point.” Lana chimed in. “I do like Vanzilla, but when I’m getting my driver’s license at your age, I can’t keep my mind off of racing.”

“So you would rather floor it on the road?” Sully asked.

“I was thinking of doing it on the highway.”

“That’s worse.” Shane commented.

“Luna, when I drove for the first time, it was exciting for a while, but down the line, it’s your responsibility to keep it in control at all times.” Rita replied.

“It’s great you did well last night, but every day from here on out, it’s a different chapter of its own.” Lynn Sr. added. “Secondly…if there was a high speed chase and you’re not the criminal…you could give in.”

Luna sighed after hearing the confession. “That is if I robbed a bank, but I wouldn’t give in.”

“We’re just trying to help.”

“If you were willing to help, you would’ve known how expressive I am.” Luna replied. “I need to be alone, I’m still depressed about last night.” She left the group on her own while getting out of the row of vans, finding another row that interested her.

Lynn Sr. and Rita felt disappointed in their third child’s state of mind. “We seriously need to talk more sense into her.” Rita replied.

“What do you want her to feel?” Lana asked.

“Was it really a good idea to make her feel like this?” Mazzy added.

“We wouldn’t be here if she and you,” Rita pointed at Lana. “had never signed the contract.”

“I also signed the contract.” Sam chimed in. “And a part of me really wants her to succeed.”

“Succeed? As in getting the motorcycle?”

“Yes…”

“This is getting worse and worse.” Shane replied.

“Why can’t we just stick to our original plan?” Lori looked up at the sky.

Luna entered the row of motorcycles. Despite her parents refusing to have her buy a motorcycle, they didn’t say anything about not going to see motorcycles. She can hear people riding them from the otherside of the field even when coming here. Even if she tried to ignore them, it’s only gonna make her want to enter the race more. As if it wasn’t enough that classical vehicles didn’t make her reflect.

“This is hopeless.” She spoked. “I would’ve been excited to be here if I was practicing for the race.” From the end of the row where she came in, her family and band saw her. They were close to catching up to her in concern of almost losing her in the car show. When Luna looked away from the motorcycles, she saw Mick Swagger walking on his own while wearing a purple race car outfit while holding onto a helmet. “Mick Swagger?”

“Luna, love.” He smiled. “What brings you here?”

“My parents took me here to show me what type of car I want.”

“You finally got your driver’s license?” 

“Yes…if I can show you my driver’s license.” When Mick witnesses Luna’s family including Sam and the Moon Goats, it wasn’t hard for him to catch on.

“Did you get yourself into a dangerous car accident?”

“No.” She then closed her eyes while behind honesty with her biggest idol. “Me and my sister Lana entered The Royal Woods Raceway because of a really great motorcycle for a reward. I didn’t tell my parents…until last night when they found out.”

With her excitement turned to emptiness, it still felt good to let it out instead of lying. Mick Swagger believed what she said, but unlike her parents, he wasn't disappointed. If he was, he wouldn’t be here in the first place.

“Luna, love, I want you to know that I admire cars of any type. But I love race cars just as much as singing. I’m close to coming across old school race cars if you want to see some.”

“I can’t, my parents won’t allow me.”

“Including Lana?”

“Yes, she’s a huge fan of racing, especially Bobbie Fletcher.”

This causes Mick to remember his time when he watched Bobbie in person. “I remember watching her races that I attend.” He replied. “Her passion for racing felt the same way as we felt in music.”

“I would’ve seen the passion from her if I actually attended her races.”

“Not everyone’s gonna be a professional race car driver.” He then noticed Lana, still depressed, which caught him on after Luna told him her name. “This is gonna be shocking but, I’m gonna host The Royal Woods Raceway.”

“You are?”

“I’m gonna help Bobbie raise more money for the event. Maybe I could perform after the race is over.”

As if it wasn’t enough for Luna, Mick Swagger hosting the event felt like a dream clashed into Lana’s, which made it hard to enjoy the car show. “What are you trying to help me with?”

“Giving you more heart and passion to convince your parents to have you and your team enter.” He then walked past her, stopping in front of Luna’s family and band. “She’s never having the mindset of a deranged speeder.”

As Rita and Lynn Sr. can tell what the conversation Luna had with Mick, they try to be crystal clear with the famous singer. “Mick.” Rita spoked. “We are gonna see her drive soon, it’s just last night we had a celebration for her getting her license and when we heard about the contract…”

“...we did it for her best interests.” Lynn Sr. finished.

“I don’t blame you, but you know I’m right.” Mick smiled.

“I believe you.” Lana replied with Mick looking down. “You know me and Luna have something in common with famous people like you and Bobbie.”

“I’m sure you do, mate.” Mick turned his attention back to Lynn Sr. and Rita. “What they have in common the most, is making their once in a lifetime dreams come true. Don’t act like you never had dreams coming true.”

Lynn Sr. reflects on opening his own restaurant while Rita reflects on how the Louds helped her husband, despite overwhelming him. Not that they need to help Luna and Lana’s dream if they can handle it on their own but they made up their mind to give them a chance.

“Okay, we’re setting things straight with Luna once we leave.” Rita smiled.

“You mean?” Lana wondered.

“You're not entering yet, we’ll make up our minds once the day’s out.” Lynn Sr. filled in.

“Good deal.” Lori commented.

“Can I still be part of this?” Sam replied.

“You signed the contract, just wait before you support our third oldest daughter.” Rita said.

“You can join us while we’re giving Luna a chance.” Lynn Sr. added. “But it isn’t gonna be like how we view it on Lori and even Leni’s driving.”

Luna walked up behind Mick Swagger as she slowly smiled. “I can prove to you I’m not a reckless driver.”

“You gave the teacher the approval, you show your parents your one and only race car token, love.” Mick then lifted Lana up while wrapping his arm around Luna. “I know you’re gonna join the race. You have two weeks to go.”

With the family and band watching Mick putting Luna and Lana together, it’s only the beginning before Lynn Sr. and Rita give their approval to have them enter the race. However it’s not stopping them from watching Luna drive after getting her driver’s license yesterday. It may be a long day today, but it won’t compare to the next two weeks before the biggest race comes to life.
