Moved into Your Heart - Loud House

Chapter 6: with the Wrong People Sometimes

Cricket didn't hear anything from Lynn Sr. after three days since Minors' Night! He missed him... Why? this is a random white man who is balding and has wrinkles and makes him lose teeth... And he was married. THat was the worst part. Not to mention his many, many children whuch implied LOTSA sex. But somethin about Lynn Sr made all of that worth while. He just couldn't place his crickety finger on it!

Outside of a Wendy's (the restuarnat), Cricket sat on the curb. Artemis walked out, fixing her bra and gasped when she saw him. 

Artemis: Matthew Mara-- I mean, Cricket?

Cricket looked over in shock and apaul.

Cricket: Artmeis? What are you doing in this Wendy's parking lot?

Artemis: (chuckles but hot) Just finished Frank off. If we'd known you were out here, you could've joined.

Cricket: Artie, I don't think I woulda... My heart is somewhere else right now.

A clump of hair fell off of Cricket's head. It blew way.

Artemis: Your heart? Don't tell me you have a crush on Dennis, that's not gonna end well for you.

Cricket: Haha... Maybe. But that wasn't what I was talking about.

Artemis: Is it Mac?

Cricket: No... But he has good arms!

Artemis: Charlie?

Cricket: No, not these days.

Artemis: ...Did Sweet Dee transition? Should I use he/him?

Cricket: Nah. Sweet Dee is cis

Artemis: Well, if it's not Frank, I'm running out of men here.

Cricket: Artie... It's him.

Artemis: WHO!?

The screeching of tires interupted the two's convo. They watched as Vanzilla pulled into the parking lot, running over Cricket's clump of hair. Vanzilla stopped runnin' and they watched the car door open. Cricket jumped up and leapt a bittle.  His heart stopped.

Lynn Sr. looked so defeated in that Wendy's parking lot that it hurt Cricket's soul. Not once should that old man ever feel hurt!

Artemis looked between Crick and Lynn Sr. and understood suddenly. She needed to help Cricket get the LOVE OF HIS LIF!

Artemis: (smiles but hot) Hey, Lynn Sr.. What's up with that frown?

Lynn Sr. approached them.

Lynn Sr.: Just been going through some things and really wanted the New Vanilla Frosty from Wendy's... Oh, hey Cricket.

Cricket: How's it goin' Lynn Sr.? What's eating ya, man? (coughs up)

Lynn Sr.: Just give me one secnd, I need that New Vanilla Frosty from Wendy's.

Lynn Sr. exited the scene and went into the booming business. Artemis quickly and excitedly turned to Crickety and spoke up!

Artemis: CRICKET, you have to take Lynn Sr. to the pub to cheer him up!

Cricket began stumbling over his words.

Cricket: Wh-wh-wh-w-hw-hw-hw-hw-w-hw-h-w-wh-Won't he-he-he--he-h-e-he-h-eh-e-he-h-e-he-he-h-e think that-that-that-thatthat's a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d--d-d--d-d-d-d-d--d-d-d-d-d-d--d-d-d-d-d-date????

Artemis: No.

Cricket: K.

Artemis: He's feeling really down on his luck and if you want to get in good with him, now is kind of the perfect time!
