Alright, readers, as I promised you, here is the redone version of Sharing a Room with a Rocking Roommate that I'm working on.
Now as I've mentioned on my profile page, I've wanted to redo this story, because after looking back at it, I was now proud of how it turned out and was deeply disappointed with it. Now I'm aware that people liked the story, and it had a potential plot that could have driven it somewhere, to the point where it could have become just as popular as (if not more than) Lori Dealing with Nomophobia, and that was wasted. I feel that I could do better than that. Plus I've wanted to redo this story for a while. I just haven't gotten to do it, because I haven't been into the series for quite some time, until now. So that's why I'm doing this.
Also, readers take note; the first chapter to this redone story will be mostly the same as the first chapter in the original, with several changes, parts are taken out, and new elements being added into it. Beginning with chapter two, the story will become something completely different from what I did before. That I can promise you all, and just to prove it, I've written notes on how I want to set up the story. Still, you guys as the reviewers can leave me suggestions that I can add to the story and possibly make this story even better than I anticipated. That's how Lori Dealing with Nomophobia became so popular. But we can get to that by the end of the chapter.
One last thing, I've included more references to more rock bands and stuff that'll also be included in later chapters. This includes references to Led Zeppelin as I promised that I'd do. So don't be surprised.
With this explained, I hope you can enjoy this new version of the story, everyone.

AT THE LOUD HOUSE IN ROYAL WOODS MI:
It was a beautiful Saturday morning in the city of Royal Woods, Michigan. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and it looks like everyone was looking forward to a wonderful day today. At the Loud House, in particular, most of the siblings are still sleeping before they had to wake up and get the day started. It was Saturday after all and it was considered chore day for everyone, so they needed as much sleep as possible before they could get stuff done for the day.
One sibling, to be precise, was starting to wake up right now. Said sibling, was the only boy in a family of ten daughters, and his name was Lincoln. In his room, he was letting out a yawn, stretched out his arms, sits up and then he opens his eyes. After he had woken up, he then spent the next few minutes to get himself up to prepare for the day.
"Ah…Saturday mornings," Lincoln sighed as he started speaking to the readers. "This is known as the time of the week where one can truly enjoy what they like doing. Okay, so we do have some chores that we all have to do before that happens, but aside from that, we don't have to worry about anything at all. Let me tell you something, readers, I can tell that today is going to be a fantastic day!"
Not soon after he said that did he hear a bunch of alarm clocks, followed by a scream that he seemed to recognize.
"AH! BLIMEY!" The voice was revealed to be Luna's. Lincoln was quite startled by it for a second, not expecting to hear that first thing in the morning.
"…or maybe not," Lincoln added. "That was Luna screaming. It sounds like she had just woken up…and judging by the way she screamed in that manner readers, it must not be a good thing…"
Once Lincoln was done breaking the fourth wall, the focus gets turned over to the room of Luna and Luan. Nine alarm clocks were going off all at the same time, right in Luna's face and ears no less. It was so loud, that it startled her. In a fit of panic, Luna picked up the clocks and tossed them towards the wall, breaking them and getting them to stop. Once she got her focus back, she had bloodshot eyes and was not in a pleasant mood by that morning greeting.
It was then revealed that it was one of Luan's alarm clock pranks as the jokester sister woke up by that. She then went up and peeked onto Luna's bunk and greeted her with a grin.
"Good morning sis. I hope you find my morning greeting to be very alarming," Luan cracked a pun and laughed. "Get it?"
Luna didn't need a moment to think when she realized what happened. It was one of Luan's alarm clock pranks again. This wasn't the first time that she's woken her up like this, but this was even worse than some of the other stuff she pulled on her. Some of the previous stuff she pulled include being zapped awake by her buzzer, getting soaked by water balloons that she launched onto her bunk, getting tone-deaf by airhorns, and many other loud and obnoxious stuff. All of which she tolerated. However, this prank was the last straw for her. She then gained a look of annoyance as Luan took notice of this and decided to perk up her spirits.
"Oh don't give me that look, sis," Luan then made another pun. "No need to clock out Luna, because we have a busy day ahead of us! Hahaha!"
Luna was not in the mood for this…not this time. Normally she can tolerate her roommates' puns and jokes, as annoying as they are. But something inside her had made her convinced that she was not wanting to deal with it this time. Not after the 24th time of being pranked like this, with those nine alarm clocks this time.
In spite of this, Luan continued her pun streak with one other pun thrown at her.
"Well, it's time to clock in and alarm the others about starting the day today!" Luan joked as she laughed at how she made three time-related puns in one sentence.
Then something in Luna snapped. She couldn't put up with it any longer. She had had enough of this foolishness, especially with the stupid alarm clock pranks that Luan keeps pulling on her. As a result, she furrowed her eyebrows, gritted her teeth and started growling.
"Enough Luan," Luna sneered. "I don't want to hear anymore…"
"Oh come on," Luan complained as she went back onto the floor by climbing down. "Those were some of my better puns!"
"I ain't talking about just that sis," Luna snapped as she got out of bed and climbed down herself. "I'm also talking about these stupid pranks that you have pulled on me 24 times in a row! But this alarm clock prank you pulled has to be...THE WORST THING YOU'VE DONE TO ME WITHIN THE PAST FOUR AND A HALF WEEKS!"
Luan was taken aback by this sudden outburst. She thought that her alarm clock prank was relatively harmless and practical. She did not expect Luna to lash out at her for it, especially since she didn't say anything the first 23 times it happened to her. As a result, she felt like retorting.
"Wow. It looks like someone's in a grouchy mood," Luan snorted. "Want me to give you a more alarming welcome to get you in a better mood?"
"NO DANG NABBIT!" Luna yelled angrily, curling her hands into fists. "You don't get it, do you Luan? These pranks are constantly putting me through bloody hell and I can't ever have enough time to wake up in the morning with them blaring in my ears like that! I put up with them for the first 23 times, but now I am putting my foot down. As such, I hate dealing with your stupid wake up pranks!"
"Excuse me," Luan was offended by this. Annoyance was starting to creep into her voice. "I'll have you know that those 'stupid' wake up pranks take me a good 16 hours to prep and I put in a lot of effort to create those pranks too."
"Gee. I can see why. I end up having to be the victim of your notorious pick-me-up pranks," Luna laughed sarcastically before scowling again. "Not only that, but I also can't stand your stupid puns you deliver to me right after I get awoken by them, damn it!"
"Hey! I do a good job with my puns," Luan scoffed in defense. "Don't get all angry with me about that! You are my roommate, and you've tolerated my puns before! So don't get all pissed off by it now!"
"You know, I don't know how I can even put up with your bleeding jokes everyday dudette," Luna sneered, pointing her finger at her. "Your jokes are as terrible as Cliff's cat poop!"
"Huh. Says the girl that constantly acts like a well-renowned rock star, and persistently fascinates over that stupid rock star Mick Swagger all the ding dong time," Luan countered with anger creeping into her voice.
That just about did it. There was one thing everyone knew not to do in the Loud House: never insult Mick Swagger, especially in the face of Luna Loud. Otherwise, her buttons will be pressed. And Luan did just that. As such, Luna's next reaction was apparent as her face turned red.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MICK SWAGGER MATE?!" Luna boomed loudly with fury and rage. "DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY IDOL LIKE SOME TRASH HEEP THAT BELONGS IN THE JUNK PILE, DUDE!?"
"Well I don't tolerate you insulting my jokes and puns either," Luan stood her ground with a scowl on her face. "I can't stand your loud music!"
"And I can't stand your lame and annoying jokes!" Luna hissed furiously.
It was then Luna and Luan had a very loud and ambitious argument. This got the other sisters to wake up and check on them. They headed over to their room to see them arguing with each other. Lori being the eldest sister she is, managed to piece it together and figured out what all the fuss was about.
"Oh great, it looks like Luan pulled a wake-up prank on Luna again," Lori sighed. "That was literally the 24th time already."
"O-M-Gosh guys, I can't watch this," Leni the ditzy sister panicked. "This is totes bad for my skin!"
Leni then shielded her eyes with her sleeping mask.
"Whoa man," Lynn the sporty sister spoke. "They are really angry at each other this time. It kind of reminds me of the time Lucy and I were having our own scuffle."
"Sigh. I'd have to agree with you on that one, Lynn," Lucy the gothic sister spoke in agreement.
"Oh wow," Lana, the mud-loving tomboy twin uttered. "They are really at each others' throats this time around."
"No duh," Lola the pageant winning twin retorted. "They are acting worse than you Lana."
"Nah ah, they're acting worse than you Lola," Lana countered angrily.
"They're worse than you," Lola snapped.
"No, they're worse than you," Lana snapped back.
"DIRTBAG!"
"PRISSY GIRL!"
The twins then engaged in their typical scuffles as Lori sighed at this. It was then Lisa, the genius sister made her comment.
"Hmm, it's just like I theorized in the first place. This ridiculous wakeup shenanigan has gone off the deep end," Lisa remarked her theory aloud.
"Poo-poo?" Lily the one-year-old baby babbled in confusion as Luna and Luan continued to argue…
A few minutes later, the rather loud argument made its way to Lincoln's room. It was becoming a hindrance to waking up and being the brother he is, he decided to investigate it. Upon entering the hall, he heard Luna and Luan arguing again in their room, and saw his other sisters crowding the entrance of the room. It was to the point where he couldn't see what was going on. Because of that, he had to ask this particular question.
"Excuse me," he asked at a moderate volume, hoping someone would hear him. "What is going on, and what's with all the arguing?"
Luckily for him, Lori heard his question and turned to face her brother.
"Oh, hey Lincoln," Lori groaned before explaining the situation to him. "Luan pulled one of her wake-up pranks on Luna again for the 24th time. This time, it was an alarm clock prank. And judging by how Luna is engaging in a heated argument with Luan, it really must have set her off this time. By the looks of it, the argument has gotten a lot worse than before."
Lincoln spent the next few moments taking in all that information his eldest sister gave him before something clicked in his head. Gaining a shocked look, he now looked afraid by his facial expression.
Oh no… Lincoln thought to himself.
Now fights in the Loud House happen daily. But Lincoln remembered two instances where a fight between two sisters affected his schedule and his life in the house that stood out:
There was the 'Sister Fight Protocol' fiasco, where he was told to butt out of their fights. Now, this wouldn't have been a problem, except for the fact that they prevented him from going into the kitchen, keeping him from using the bathroom and watching TV, kicking him out of his room, and took his bedsheets without his permission. As such, he didn't want to relive that memory again.
And then there was the time the sisters changed roommates to someone that fits their interest, while Lincoln was stuck with Lily. In that case, however, the sisters swapped back to their original roommates for Lincoln's sake.
However, this scenario reminded him of one other instance that he recalled. He was getting déjà vu from it.
Bearing a panic-stricken face, Lincoln wasted no time in bolting back to his room and slamming the door shut in fear. Noticing that a disturbance of confusion was present, Lincoln started to explain his motive to the readers.
"Okay readers, you are probably confused by what I just did right? Well let me ask you this; do you all remember the time where I had to share my room with Lynn, and she put me through so much with her antics, such as the roughhousing, the Dutch Ovens, and the obnoxious loud snoring?" Lincoln asked the readers. "Well, something like that is happening again. This time, it's between Luna and Luan. Not only that but this time I fear that one of my sisters will want to move in with me and then I'll have to put up with their antics. Not to mention I'm still crept out by Lynn's 'lack of balls' remark."
Lincoln then took a deep breath as he continued.
"Let me just say this; I love all of my sisters. I certainly do. But sometimes, I would just like to not have to deal with their antics interfering with my day-to-day routine. Unfortunately, that's almost impossible since I live in such a big family," said Lincoln. "And if you all must know by now, in a family as big as mine, sharing is essential to our lives, and this is to be expected from all of us. This also includes rooms, something I don't want to put up with again."
Lincoln then listened out from his door and heard the argument had softened to the point where it stopped. The other sisters were heard murmuring as they returned to their rooms to wake up for the day. Tranquility filled the hallway now, as Lincoln felt that this was a good thing.
"Well, I guess the argument must have ceased and they worked things out," Lincoln had assured himself. "Maybe this time I won't have to share my room again since Luna and Luan had made up with each other and neither of them will have to move into my room. Yup, it looks like Lincoln Loud is in the clear today and nothing will go wrong this time."
Sadly, in spite of his expectations, someone knocked at his door. This startled him and got his attention.
"Hmm, who could that be?" Lincoln questioned himself. This gave him some bad vibes as something was going to come out of this. Nonetheless, he then went over to the door to open it up.
Once he opened the door, he was met face to face with a desperate-looking Luna. She had a bag of most of her stuff in it. Said stuff included her rock albums, instruments, posters and other stuff that was her property. Lincoln was growing worried about where this will go, as sweat was dripping down his forehead.
"L-Luna," Lincoln gulped and asked nervously, hoping that she wouldn't want what he thinks she wants. "What…what are you doing here?"
"Hey bro. There's no way I'm spending another bloody night with that so-called jokester Luan," Luna explained, and the question she asked next shattered all of Lincoln's hopes. "Would it be alright if I move into your room Lincoln?"
Lincoln's face fell as he then looked fear-stricken once again.
AHHHH! Lincoln screamed mentally. This was unbelievable. Was this happening again? Why did this have to happen to him? Regardless, he took a deep breath and then tried fishing out an excuse.
"Uh, sorry Luna, but I uh…cannot share my room with anyone," he insisted.
"Why not dude?" Luna was confused by this.
"You remember what happened the time I shared a room with Lynn," Lincoln brought up. "I had to put up with her obnoxious antics that drove me to the point where I had to sleep in the bathroom!"
Lincoln had wanted to add something else to it, but kept quiet about it, seeing that Luna did not need to know about it.
"Bro, you don't have to worry about a thing," Luna told him. "I am nothing like Lynn and I can pledge to you that I am a much better roommate than she was! Plus, you're the best brother I could ask for, dude. We all look up to you for help when we need it! So please, just let me room in with you bro."
"Well, I'd love to. But as par code of Lincoln's room policy, I can't take offers to have sisters bunk in with me, especially after last time," Lincoln tried lying to her. "So I'm afraid you can't move into my room Luna."
It was then Luna became very desperate as she then started to plea to him in a dramatic rock star way.
"Oh come on bro," Luna got onto her knees to plea. "Don't leave me hanging like this! I'm practically on my knees here dude! DON'T MAKE ME BEG MAN!"
"Sorry Luna, but my mind is made up," Lincoln protested. "You can't move in with me."
"PLEASE…GIMME SHELTER!" Luna shouted in a rock star fashion while begging to move in with him.
"My decision is final. Good day."
With that being said, Lincoln closed the door on her and leaned his back against the door and had a look of relief that his defiance paid off this time around.
Unfortunately, the look slowly started to turn into that of pure guilt; true, Luna's music was loud and ambitious at times, but when she wasn't rocking out, she happens to be one of the nicer sisters he has, and it just so happens that he tends to get along with her the best. Not only that but she hardly ever acted on malice against him alone unless his other sisters were acting on the same impulse. One of those moments was when Luna blasted Lincoln out of her room with her speakers during the whole Sharon DeMonet fiasco. Aside from that, there was nothing personal between them. That being said, this may not be a bad idea. Surely letting her room with him for a while until she is more than ready to make up with Luan again wouldn't hurt, would it?
As a result, Lincoln then takes a deep breath and turns around and opens his door again and then said to Luna.
"Okay, fine. You can bunk in my room for today, Luna," Lincoln told her. "Or until you are up to making up with Luan again."
This got the rocking sister hyped and excited at his change of thought, as she jumped to her feet.
"You've made a very rocking choice bro," Luna gleamed. "Thank you for this buddy. I promise you won't regret this dude!"
Luna then went into his room and dropped the bag of instruments and other musical stuff right beside Lincoln's bed. Lincoln then sighed again.
"It's just for one day," he reminded himself. "Or until she can make up with Luan again..."
Lincoln went back into his room as Luna was looking at a lot of his stuff as he decided to inform her about the rules of his room.
"Now Luna, I already told Lynn about this once before, but there are several rules to follow regarding my room," Lincoln started. "The first rule is to not touch my stuff and mess around…with anything…"
Lincoln noticed his explanation fell on deaf ears as Luna wasn't paying attention to him. She was trying to make some room for some of her stuff so she'd feel right at home as Lincoln's new roommate. He knew that explaining the rules to her would be futile, so he accepted defeat.
"…nevermind," Lincoln stated. Luna then took notice of something and felt like she had a clever idea in mind. Lincoln saw the smirk that emerged on her face and about to ask her what is she thinking, but she answered it by taking out a bunch of rock and metal albums.
Lincoln took a look at all the albums she brought into his room. Just the amount of albums alone was what got him perplexed. Some of them were more interesting than others, but they all had one thing in common: they were of the rock genre or the heavy metal genre.
Most of them were classics, including The Doors' self-titled album, The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Jimi Hendrix Experiences' Are You Experienced, Cream's Disraeli Gears, several albums by the Beatles such as Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Abbey Road, The Who's Tommy, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album (also known as Led Zeppelin IV), Black Sabbath's Paranoid, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic, Queen's A Night at the Opera, Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, and The Clash's London Calling.
She also had albums that leaked from the 80s and beyond. These include AC/DC's Back in Black, Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard of Ozz, Joan Jett's I Love Rock n' Roll, Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet, Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction, Metallica's Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning, Megadeth's Peace Sells...But Who's Buying and Rust in Peace, Slayer's Reign in Blood, Anthrax's Among the Living, Pantera's Cowboys from Hell, Nirvana's Nevermind, Green Day's Dookie, Radiohead's OK Computer, Red Hot Chili Pepper's Californication, System of a Down's Toxicity and many other iconic albums that range in different styles of rock and metal altogether.
However, the most apparent out of all the albums were the ones by Mick Swagger and his group; the Bowling Rocks. Several albums by the Bowling Rocks were there, such as Scroungers Feast, Make It Ooze, Gummy Toes, and Banished to First Avenue. There was no doubt that Luna had such a large Rock and Roll/Heavy Metal Album collection saved up, and she was devoted to the rock and roll lifestyle as a whole. To say that this caused him to enter a state of shock would have been an understatement.
"Wow...that's a lot of music," he gawked, finally finding his voice.
"You said it, bro. We need to do something about the lack of rock albums in this room."
Lincoln took offense to that comment. Seeing the look on his face, Luna decided to elaborate.
"I'm talking about Pop Rock, Blues Rock, Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Progressive Rock, Glam Rock, Punk Rock, Folk Rock, Alternative Rock, Surf Rock, Garage Rock, and even Heavy Metal. And that last one doesn't have the word rock in it."
That would explain how most of these would be albums that Luna would want to listen to...
Keeping that thought to himself, Lincoln then noticed the time and that he should get going.
"Well Luna, it's great that we're roomies and all that. But I guess I should get going now," Lincoln said. "I'll see you later sis!"
"Whoa ho, not so fast there brah," Luna stopped him short in his tracks. "You just got yourself a new rocking roommate! I say that we should spend the day together rocking out like a true rock and roll duo should, dude, and you get to try out the drums!"
"But we haven't eaten breakfast," Lincoln objected. "And we still have to get our chores done for today. Besides, I don't even know how to play the drums."
"Relax bro. We do have our chores to do for today, but I wouldn't pull you away from your job until you have accomplished everything for the day. So there's no need to be dazed and confused," Luna stated. "As far as the drums are concerned, no need to worry buddy. I mean you may not be as great as legends such as John Bonham, Keith Moon, or Neil Peart, but I still have complete confidence in you."
Lincoln was still processing this as she continued.
"So after we get our chores for the day you and I will head to the garage and rock out like there's no tomorrow!"
"I don't get a say in any of this?" Lincoln questioned, hoping for a way out of this mess.
"Well, I guess you could dude," Luna tried guilt-tripping her brother to convince him otherwise. "But since we're roommates now, it wouldn't be as fun without you little bro."
Lincoln had no idea how to counter that. He was about to say something, but Luna didn't give him the chance, as she then grabbed his hand.
"It's settled, after breakfast and our chores and such, we are going to spend a rocking day together dude," Luna had a hyped look on her face as she left the room, dragging Lincoln with her. "Let's rock out together, Lincoln!"
Lincoln bared an annoyed look as this thought came to his mind.
I can already tell this day is going to drive me insane...
Luna then dragged Lincoln downstairs where they decided to get ready for the day before spending some time together rocking out like crazy…
Hours have passed as Lincoln had to spend a good portion of the day with Luna against his will. Aside from the typical morning routine with chores and whatnot, the two of them had rocked out in the garage like a garage band with Lincoln and Luna jamming and rocking out to different types of Rock songs. Several of the songs included 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns N Roses, 'Hells Bells' by AC/DC, 'Crazy Train' by Ozzy Osbourne, 'Communication Breakdown' by Led Zeppelin, 'Paranoid' by Black Sabbath, 'Break On Through, to the Other Side' by The Doors, 'Money' by Pink Floyd, 'My Generation' by The Who, 'Come Together' by The Beatles, 'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix, and many others too. They also went and performed 'We Will Rock You' by Queen, which was immediately followed with 'We Are the Champions' which is also by Queen. In addition to that, they also jammed out to songs by artists such as Linkin Park, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Megadeth, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and more. They even jammed out to SMOOCH for a bit, in addition to Mick Swagger's group The Bowling Rocks.
Needless to say, Lincoln grew more and more tired from it as time passed, wondering when he could finally take a break for a bit. Luckily for him, Luna had told him that she has to go to a concert for a bit and that she'll be back in a while. This got Lincoln relieved as he decided to use that time wisely to himself to enjoy something he likes doing for a while…
Hours later, it was now 5:00 p.m. as we see Lincoln in his room only in his underwear as he was spending his alone time reading one of his comic books. The comic book he was reading, in particular, was Ace Savvy.
"Ah. It's a good thing Luna left for a bit while I can spend some time to myself," Lincoln said to the readers. "I spent a good portion of the day rocking out with Luna to several rock songs by various rock and metal groups that are too many for me to name alone. I'm just glad I can get some downtime and take advantage of this by kicking back and reading my comics in my undies like I had wanted to do earlier. Yeah. It's great to have this time to myself."
Lincoln then spent the next several minutes or so reading his comics in his underwear. Sadly, the good stuff had to come to an end, since at exactly 5:30, the door slammed open. This got Lincoln to jump as he saw that Luna had returned, but that wasn't what made him scream. No, what made him scream was the fact that Luna wasn't alone. Accompanying her was her roadie known as Chunk. Chunk was described as a large burly man with a big nose ring and a balding scalp. He wears a white tank top with a black vest with fringes, buckled jeans, and black boots. He also sports a purple checkered newsboy cap and a bracelet on each wrist. Add to that was a purple tattoo with a heart and crossbones on both of his arms.
This instantly got Lincoln to react accordingly.
"AHHH!" Lincoln screamed. Luna didn't pay attention to this, as she was talking to Chunk.
"Oh yeah, I'm telling you Chunk; that was the best rock concert I've taken part in!" Luna shouted excitedly.
"Oi love, that was a smashing concert, wasn't it," Chunk said.
"It sure was brah," Luna then turned his attention to the room she's staying in. "Anyway Chunk, this is the new room I'm staying in."
"Amazing set up you have here, mate," Chunk complimented. "Seems like you've got everything under control in here."
"Yup, and this is my new roommate that I am staying with; my little bro and buddy Lincoln," Luna then said to her brother. "Hey Lincoln, you remember my roadie Chunk right?"
Lincoln did not say anything. Sure he remembers Chunk from the time he had to get one of his projects about his family to school, but he was too humiliated to say anything coherent.
"I guess that expression means he remembers who you are Chunk," Luna smiled.
"Well, cheers to that. It's a pleasure to be in your presence again, kid," Chunk greeted as he noticed Lincoln was in his underwear only. "By the way, those are very smashing looking undies you have on there. I'm really digging them brah."
It was that comment that caused Lincoln to grit his teeth, furrow his eyebrows and his face went red from humiliation and annoyance as he was steaming. It was bad enough that someone outside of the house had to see him like this, but to have someone comment on his undergarments was what drove him mad.
Luna took notice of this and knew what this meant. It was as if she was reading his mind. As a result, she turned to face her roadie and told him.
"Uh Chunk, I think you better go now dude," she informed her roadie. "I'm sorry that you have to leave now, but Lincoln isn't really in a great mood at this moment."
"No worries love. I should be going anyway," Chunk stated. "Talk to ya later, okay Luna?"
"Yup. Take care Chunk," Luna said. "Have a good evening."
"You too mate. Catch ya later love."
With that said and done, Chunk then left and headed downstairs and went out the front door and decided to leave the place. Once he was completely gone, Luna turned her attention to Lincoln as she then said.
"Sorry about that bro," Luna apologized to him, but Lincoln wasn't having any of that. Not if the dignity that was almost stripped away from him had anything to say about it.
"LUNA! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!?" He bellowed.
"Whoa bro," Luna defended herself. "I just wanted to show Chunk just how rocking my roommate was and show him my new room that I'm staying in. How was I supposed to know you'd be in your undies only reading comics?"
Lincoln was still a little peeved off about that, but he decided not to let it overcome himself, and let it go.
"Just forget it, Luna," he grumbled.
"Well in any case bro, since I'm back, maybe we can rock out some more," Luna told him. "There's a song that I'd love to perform with you anyway, and I think you'll love it."
Looking at her in confusion, Luna then said.
"I know how much you love comic books bro, so I was thinking we could perform a classic hardcore heavy metal tune called 'Iron Man'," Luna told him. "You know; that song that's by Black Sabbath? Come on man!"
"Right," Lincoln didn't know much about the song she was talking about, but he went along with it.
"And after that song, there's another one that we can perform," Luna gleamed. "You love Ace Savvy, don't you? Well, the other song that I have in mind is called 'Ace in Spades' and it's by Motörhead. You'll love that song too dude. So what do you say, bro? Are you in or are you in?"
Lincoln wasn't sure if he wanted to, but seeing that he has no choice for that matter, he didn't decide to attest to it.
"Fine, sis," Lincoln sighed. "Let's get it over with."
"That's the spirit bro!" Luna grabbed Lincoln and ran out of the room with him. "There's just enough time to do it before dinner…"
Before she did that though, Lincoln cleared his throat to remind Luna of something important that's being forgotten. This got her attention as she noticed that Lincoln was still in his undies as she then let him go.
"…we'll do it after you put your clothes back on buddy." Luna smiled sheepishly as Lincoln marched back to his room to put on his full clothes. Afterwards, he was dragged by Luna again to rock out some more before dinner…
After they jammed and rocked out to 'Iron Man' by Black Sabbath and 'Ace in Spades' by Motörhead, they then decided to get ready for dinner with the rest of the family. Luna was steering clear of Luan and spending more time with Lincoln instead. This was apparent with Luan too since she huffed and made sure that she ate separately from Luna. In return, Luna had Lincoln eat dinner with her and the others at the grown-up table, while Luan took Lincoln's place at the kiddie table. After dinner, they continued to rock out some more together for a good portion of the evening.
LATER THAT NIGHT…
Lincoln had spent a good portion of his time with Luna jamming to more awesome Rock songs. In addition to classics from the Beatles, to The Clash, they also jammed to other rock songs such as 'American Idiot' by Green Day, 'Come As You Are' by Nirvana, 'Heartbreaker' by Led Zeppelin, 'Chop Suey' by System of a Down, and other songs by any other famous rock and metal groups that you can think of. They jammed to that too.
By this point, Lincoln was more than ready to turn in for the night. He had just gotten out of the bathroom from brushing his teeth and was making his way back to the bedroom when he passed by Luna on the way over there. Luna had a grin of confidence as she crossed her arms in an anticipated manner.
"Hey bro," Luna noticed her brother passing by. "Heading back to the bedroom aren't ya?"
Letting out a yawn, Lincoln responded to her question.
"Yeah, I'm turning in early tonight," he stated. "After a day like today, I really could use some shut-eye. You know what I mean?"
Despite being told that, Luna didn't remove that grin that she had on her face. It's as if she was planning something for Lincoln.
"I get what you're laying down bro, and that's cool," Luna casually replied. "I'll be in there in a moment. I got a very rocking surprise for you dude, for being an awesome roommate."
"Uh-huh," Lincoln didn't care what she was referring to at that point. He just wanted to go to sleep. "That's fine Luna. See you in a few."
Lincoln went into his room to go to sleep while Luna went and got that 'surprise' all prepped up. This took at least a good few minutes to prepare…
Afterwards, in Lincoln's room, we see the 11-year-old boy sleeping peacefully and he didn't look disturbed in the slightest. Suddenly, Luna entered his room quietly with her purple Dean Electric guitar and her killer amps as she closed the door behind her. Lincoln continued to sleep peacefully…well until Luna played her amps at full blast with her guitar as she was performing the opening guitar intro to 'Holiday' by Green Day. This got Lincoln to bolt up and cringe at that loud noise.
Lincoln then saw his sister blasting her amps with her guitar, and he looked pretty annoyed by it as he tried to get her attention.
"Luna!? LUNA!? LUNA!? LUNA!"
Fortunately for him, his last scream got Luna's attention as the rocker sister stopped for a second to acknowledge him.
"What's up, bro? You like my rocking guitar entrance that I did for you; my favorite roommate?" Luna asked.
"Luna, why are you blasting your amps at this time when you know that I wanted to get some sleep?" Lincoln queried her in irritation.
"Oh come on bro! I'm just doing this to show my appreciation and gratitude for having a great and rad brother like you allow me to bunk in your room," Luna exclaimed earnestly. "Besides, you have a rocking new roommate staying in your room, and as your new roommate, I say we're gonna rock and roll all nite!"
"And I suppose we'll party every day too, right?" Lincoln asked in a rather deadpanned voice.
"You got it, bro!" Luna whooped at how Lincoln got that correct as she continued jamming through her amps. It wasn't long before she started to sing too.
"This is the dawning of the rest of our lives, on holiday!" Luna sang as she continued playing and rocking out with the guitar with her trademark rocking moves, while Lincoln just groaned in aggravation. Needless to say, this kept going for a good period, with Luna even shouting 'STAGE DIVE!' every so often as a result before landing on Lincoln's bed and interrupting Lincoln's sleep even more…
One hour later, it was now 9:00 pm and Luna had finally given the amps and guitar a rest, much to Lincoln's relief. The lights were off too and Lincoln was starting to get somewhere.
Finally! Maybe now I can get some sleep. Lincoln thought to himself.
Luna had tucked herself in right next to Lincoln on his bed as Lincoln started to doze off to sleep. Unfortunately for him, he found himself woken up with Luna listening to her headphones at full blast where he could hear it, and the song that Luna was listening to was 'Smells like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. This got Lincoln irked by how he was able to hear it.
"WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, IT'S LESS DANGEROUS! Here we are now, ENTERTAIN US! I FEEL STUPID…"
Getting irritated by this, Lincoln then took the headphones off of Luna; stopping the song from playing in the process. This got Luna's attention.
"Dude, what gives!?" Luna scolded, not happy by what Lincoln did.
"Luna, why the heck are you listening to your music at full blast," Lincoln questioned. "I can't fall asleep with that blasting next to my ear!"
"Bro, this helps me to fall asleep," Luna proclaimed. "It soothes me to the point where I end up falling asleep."
"But do you have to blast it that loud, right next to my ear no less?" Lincoln queried.
"Buddy, trust me, this is my method for falling asleep for the longest time dude," Luna stated. "Plus, you remember about my little Sedatephobia issue, right?"
Lincoln knew what she was talking about. Her little Sedatephobia issue occurred sometime after one of Lisa's experiments went irate and blew up the roof, causing all the siblings (except for Lisa) to go deaf. This was around the same time where Lola pulled a prank on Lincoln with the rest of the sisters (sans Lisa again) because he ignored them when he was wearing those 'Noise-B-Gone' earbuds. That was a total nightmare for Luna since she couldn't hear anything. It drove her insane like she was going off the rails on a crazy train. It didn't last forever, however. After a week or so, the siblings could hear again and Luna no longer felt the need to worry about not hearing anything again. Lincoln did not want Luna to go through that insanity again, so he then gave in.
"Oh very well Luna," he didn't object to it.
"Thanks, bro. I knew that you'd understand." Luna smiled at him before she resumed playing the song at full blast again. Lincoln decided to cover his head with a pillow to tune out the song that was playing. This lasted for a good amount of time…
It was now 11:00 pm as Luna was finally out cold and no longer blasting her headphones, much to Lincoln's relief as he wiped his forehead.
At last, I can go to sleep without any problems. Lincoln thought to himself as he slowly drifted to sleep, finally getting the peace, and quiet to achieve it.
Before he fell asleep, however, he started to hear Luna talk in her sleep. To Lincoln, it sounded indistinguishable since he couldn't understand it.
"Huh?"
He then heard Luna moan in her sleep with some pleasure in it. This was getting Lincoln confused.
"Eh?"
"Oh…oh…" Luna was speaking in her sleep, and this got Lincoln's curiosity to kick in. He tried to listen to what she was saying. He then heard Luna say the next sentence nice and clear.
"Oh Sam, you're rocking tonight love."
Sam? Lincoln was confused at first until it hit him. He remembered the time that he and his sisters thought a secret admirer was sending one of them a love note, and Luna's secret crush was on someone called Sam. Lincoln knew that much, but what he didn't know was what Sam's true gender was...
She must be dreaming about Sam. Lincoln thought to himself.
"Sammy baby, you are laying down my jams tonight dude!" Luna said in her sleep. "Come on and light my fire! Bring it on home to me baby!"
Lincoln was starting to get a funny feeling about what Luna was dreaming about in particular, with Sam as the subject. But before Lincoln could think further, Luna ended up wrapped her arms around Lincoln in her sleep, thinking he was Sam. She was completely unaware of what she was doing as Lincoln was getting nervous.
"What are you doing Luna?" Lincoln tried to ask her, but Luna was still sleeping while speaking.
"Hot dog Sam, you're on fire tonight love," Luna whispered. "You just sparked my inner amps brah! You need cooling, baby I'm ain't fooling."
"Uh…" Lincoln was feeling a tad uncomfortable.
"Oh love. How about we kiss," Luna asked in her sleep. "I'm all amped up enough to give a French kiss to you, Sammy baby. I'm gonna give you my love. Ah! Wanna whole lotta love!"
Luna had referred to a Led Zeppelin song as it clicked in Lincoln's brain. It was then Lincoln gained a fear-stricken look on his face, worried that Luna might do something unmentionable to him unwillingly.
Oh no…
"Luna?! Please wake up Luna!" Lincoln pleaded, trying to wake her up, but to no avail. "Please! I don't like this!"
Luna did not respond to him at all, as she was still talking in her sleep.
"Oh Sammy love, I think we should walk this way," Luna chimed to that Aerosmith song. "Ah, just give me a kiss, like this!"
In her sleep, Luna puckered her lips and they were heading straight for Lincoln's lips as he kept trying to wake her up.
"Luna! Please stop this right now," Lincoln begged. "This is wrong! This is seriously wro-!"
He didn't get to finish that sentence as Luna slammed her lips onto his lips. She was giving him an old fashion kiss for a moment before she said through kissing.
"Sam, you are rocking awesome tonight love." Luna murmured. "What do you say we go on downtown and spark the plug together?"
Lincoln was wondering what that meant. Of course, he made the dumb mistake of trying to ask her about it through the kiss. Because not only did it fail to wake her up, but it also granted her tongue the entrance into his mouth. As such, her tongue found its way into his mouth and the moment her tongue went and wrapped around his tongue did his eyes bulge out, pupils shrank and he gained a cringe looking face. Just the taste of it had something horrible all over it. He would have let out a blood-curling scream, but he knew how cranky Lola gets whenever she is disrupted from her beauty sleep...well, that and the fact that this may not come to an end. So all he could do was scream in his thoughts.
AHHHH!
It was now 3:00 AM. In the bathroom, we see a grossed out and desperate looking Lincoln leaning over the sink. He had used mouthwash a good 40 times in a row, to get rid of the taste that Luna left in his mouth unintentionally. He also could have sworn that she had left some saliva in his mouth too. He then rinsed his mouth again.
"Gah, that was insane," Lincoln gagged. "Who would have thought that something so unspeakable would have occurred like that? And in such a forbidden manner too? Bleh!"
Granted, Luna had no intention of kissing Lincoln like that and she only did it in her sleep. But it was still horrifying for the eleven-year-old boy to experience. Speaking of which, the rough squirming that Lincoln made earlier didn't wake Luna up at all. It amped her up even further; something that he showed great displeasure towards and he hoped that it never happens again. Luckily, he somehow managed to get out of Luna's tight grip and made his way into the bathroom without waking anyone up.
Once Lincoln was finally done rinsing his mouth out with mouthwash, he poked his head right out of the bathroom door, and saw that Luna was still sleeping in his bedroom in the distance. Not wanting to end up in another situation like the one he was just in, Lincoln decided it was best if he sleeps in the bathroom instead, hoping this would all go away tomorrow. Fortunately for him, Lincoln had grabbed one of his pillows from the room before he headed into the bathroom.
"Well, I just hope this can all be forgotten by tomorrow," he said aloud, placing his pillow into the tub to sleep in. "It's a good thing I grabbed one of my pillows that I'll be using to sleep on since I'll be sleeping in here again. I don't want to end up in…in that situation that I was just in with Luna. I hope something good comes from all of this. But for now, I need some sleep…"
Lincoln climbed into the bathtub, put his pillow down, and then lied down and went to sleep in the tub. Because he didn't want to be given the kind of kiss Luna gave to him again while she's sleeping, this was his only option. Lincoln then slept the night away, with hopes that tomorrow will be much better…
END OF CHAPTER 1…
Yeah, that's it for this chapter. I don't think it looks too bad since I polished it up a bit. I decided to keep chapter 1 mostly the same because it's how the conflict started in the first place. It's like I said, the next chapter is going to lead to a completely different plotline. And this version will have more chapters to it too.
Also, there are more song references in this chapter and this will continue through the remaining chapters. I do hope that you find this to be promising.
Another thing I should note with you all before you question me: no. This isn't going to be a Loudcest story. Don't even think about it. The scene where Luna kisses Lincoln was done in a way to show how overly hyped Loudcest can get, and Lincoln's reaction to Luna giving him a French kiss was what I'd expect his reaction to be if this happens to be his canon version. There will be one other element in the next chapter that relates to that, but otherwise, this story is not a Loudcest story.
One other thing, Mick Swagger's band is called the Bowling Rocks. The Bowling Rocks is a parody of the Rolling Stones. Some of their albums are parodies of the album that they are imitating. This is the list that I provided:
Scroungers Feast - Beggars Banquet
Make it Ooze - Let it Bleed
Gummy Toes - Sticky Fingers
Banished to First Avenue - Exile on Main Street
I hope this gives some explanation on this subject.
One last thing, the reason Lincoln was a little irritated with Luna's antics, is to show that their relationship as a family isn't perfect. Both of them have their flaws and they have those days. Despite this, at the end of the day, they do love each other and they do have each others' backs. As the story progresses, Lincoln will start becoming more fond of Luna being his roommate; something that starts to take effect in chapter 2. I do hope you look forward to that, and Luan's growing envy in the later chapters.
Now as I said in the beginning, I'm more than open for you guys to give me reviews and provide for me suggestions and advice that I can follow to make the rest of the story even better than I am aiming for. That's how Lori Dealing with Nomophobia became so popular. So I need some advice on this:
For the next chapter, I'm planning on having Sam appear in the chapter, where she and Luna go to Luna's new room and Sam meets Lincoln for the first time, and Sam and Luna end up having Lincoln accompany them to hang out. Now I'm wondering what they should do together. I already have most of the chapter planned out, and I'm thinking of making Sam a fan of the Who if their logo on her t-shirt is any indication. But all in all, what should the three of them do together? This would help with building up the story, so feel free to let me know what suggestions you have in mind.
Aside from that, constructive criticism is also welcome, in regards to the question I just asked, or anything else you might want to ask me.
Otherwise, that's all that I have for this chapter. Be sure to look forward to the next chapter everyone, and until then, take care.
