Lincoln had pulled 2 chairs from the table for them to sit on. Haiku sat down on one chair and Lincoln sat on the other, carrying Lily. "So this is Lily." Lincoln began as Lily fidgeted on his lap. "She's only a year old, but she understands what we're saying."

"Bwa." Lily speaks up.

"She said hi." Lincoln translates.

"Hello young spirit." Haiku responds.

"Te ah goo." Lily babbles.

"She wants you to hold her." Lincoln tells Haiku.

"I've never held a baby." Haiku responds. "I don't know what to do."

"You do, you just don't realise it yet." Lincoln replies. Lincoln picks up Lily and holds her in front of Haiku. Haiku slowly raised her arms, and gently wrapped her fingers around Lily's sides. Lincoln slowly let go as Lily rested her head into Haiku's left shoulder, as Lincoln put his arm behind her so his hand rested on her right shoulder. Haiku watched as Lily fell asleep in her arms.

"Aaawwwww."

The couple looked up to see Lincoln's other sisters watching them with small smiles. They all had minor injuries on them from the fight. Lincoln removed his arm from Haiku and gentaly picked up Lily. "We'll pick names from a hat." Lincoln whispered as he took Lily out the kitchen and upstairs.

"We don't have paper or a pen." Lisa said to her sisters.

"I'll tear a page out of my poem book." Lucy said.

"I've got a pen." Lola said. "I never know when I might need to give a autograph."

Lana took off her hat, before speaking. "Alright everyone, let's do this."

Soon.

Lincoln was holding Lana's hat in front of Haiku. The hat had multiple strips of paper in it.

Haiku pulled out a strip of paper and opens it. She looked confused at what it said, and handed it to Lincoln. "Xzvq"

"That's not how you spell your name Leni." Lincoln sighed.

"Oh. I'm still first right?" Leni responds. Lincoln nods. Leni celebrates a little while the other look disappointed.

Haiku dipped her hand into the hat again and took out another strip of paper. She unfolded it, and this time she could read it. "Lana." Haiku said. Lana calibrated.

This went on for while the order was: Leni, Lana, Luan, Lynn, Luna, Lola, Lisa, Lori, and Lucy. They was given a bit of time to prepare. While Haiku waited on the couch with Lincoln, who was playing a video game. "Nervous?" Lincoln asked.

"Can she really not spell her name?" Haiku asked.

"Leni's far from the brightest, but she means well. If you don't know what to say, just entertain her." Lincoln answered. "Also, just a heads up. You're probably not going to have much in common with anyone but Lucy."

Later.

Haiku and Lucy were sat on Lucy's bed. Haiku had almost stayed for the full day, it had been none stop for her as she got to know the Loud sisters. They had only stopped for lunch. Haiku was completely exhausted. "How do you and Lincoln survive?" Haiku asks.

"I tend to hide in dark places for most of the day. Lincoln has built up a resistance, but will leave the house or make a plan when things get really bad." Lucy answered.

"How often do Lincoln's plans work?" Haiku questions.

"Not very often, but he usually is the only one with a idea, so we keep agreeing to join in. In all fairness they all seem so simple on paper." Lucy replies. "Do you have anymore questions before we contact Great grandma Harriet?" Haiku shook her head.

Soon.

Haiku walked back down stairs to see Luan playing with Lily, as well as Leni looking through a fashion magazine, with Lola looking at herself. "Where's Lincoln?" Haiku asked causing them to jump.

"I think he's outback." Luan said. Haiku nodded, and went to the back garden. The first thing she noticed was the trash cans, lawnmower and a few makeshift cover using car panels and wooden beams stuck in the ground.

"Get down!" Someone yelled. Before she knew what was going on, she was tackled to the ground. She saw multiple streams of water hit where she was standing. She felt a sudden jolt as they hit the ground she realised she was laying next to Lincoln, who had his arms wrapped around her.

"Come on out Lincoln." Lana called

"We're just getting started." Lynn continued.

Lincoln and took inched closer to the improvised cover, that consisted of a car door leaning against 4 wooden posts (2 on each side). Haiku noticed he had a blue water pistol in one hand and a green in the other. Lincoln put down the blue water pistol, and removed the glass from the side mirror. Lincoln used the mirror to look around the corner of the cover. He could see Lana's feet under the lawnmower, and Lynn in the tree. Lincoln put the mirror back, and ran out of cover and fired at Lynn. Both Lynn and Lana fired upon him, but they all missed each other.

Haiku noticed that Lincoln had left his blue water pistol behind. Haiku silently moved closer to the cover and picked it up. She used the same tactic as Lincoln did to see around the cover. She saw that Lynn and Lana were completely focused on Lincoln, who was hid behind a trash can. Haiku decided to sneak up around so she was behind Lana, and fired into Lana's back.

"What the?" Lana said. Both Lana and Lynn turned to face Haiku. Lincoln too advantage of the distraction, as he burst from his cover and sprayed Lynn in the face.

"We win!" Lincoln celebrated, as he raised his arms in victory.

"Hey, it was supposed to be us V you." Lynn sulked.

"You fired at me, I wanted payback." Haiku answered.

Lynn began to argue. "But-"

"Lynn it's fair." Lana cut her off.

"Come on Lynn remember what we agreed too." Lincoln said in a soothing voice, as he approached them.

Lynn took a deep breath and sighed. "Yeah I suppose it was fair. I would have done the same." She said, earning a small smile from her siblings.

"Maybe next time." Lincoln, said as he put a hand on Lynn's shoulder.

"A'int no next time about it." Lynn smirked.

"I should be going now." Haiku spoke up.

"I'll see you out." Lincoln said. He dropped his water pistol an Haiku did the same, before they both walked into the house, with Lynn and Lana close behind. When they reached the front door Lincoln turned around and shouted. "HAIKU'S GOING HOME NOW!"

Haiku flinched and had a ringing in her ears, while Lynn and Lana looked completely unaffected. Soon every member of the Loud family rushed to the door to say bye.

After Haiku left Lincoln's phone rang.

"Who's calling you Linky?" Leni asked in her usual happy tone.

"It's Ronnie Ann." Lincoln answered. The girls gasped.

"Put it on speaker." Lori said.

Lincoln answered the call and put it on speaker, as his sister surrounded him. "Hey Ronnie Ann, what's up?" Lincoln asked in friendly tone.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you something." She answered calmly.

"Erm, okay." Lincoln answered confused.

"Are you and that goth girl really dating?" Ronnie Ann asked.

"Yeah, how did you find out about that?" Lincoln responded.

"Lori, Leni, Luna and Lola have all posted photos of the 2 of you." She replied. "So are you really dating, or is this apart of a plan of yours?"

"I promise you we're actually dating, there's no plan or scheme behind it." Lincoln answered.

"Oh. Well. Bye Lincoln." With that Ronnie Ann hung up.

"That's weird, she didn't call me Lame-O." Lincoln commented.

"I don't trust her." Lucy thought out loud.
