Lincoln felt so happy to be back in the Rogue Lion's den once more. One thing that made him dumbfounded was: how weird his sisters were acting towards him, the creepy smiles, demanding attention like cats and dogs, the massaging, and other things that his sisters were doing. He was thinking that Luke was probably right about women being crazy at times, and laughed at the time Luke made fun of women by sounding like a stereotypical teenage girl. As he opened the door, he didn't see anyone inside the house

He couldn't help but look around at his surroundings, and saw the cute African ringneck, Limey in his cage. "Lincoln's here! Lincoln's here!" The bird sang

"Hello, Limey." Said Lincoln. He couldn't help but go up to his cage and play with him a little. The adorable parakeet used his tongue to lick Lincoln's finger. Making him laugh a little. "You're such a cute bird. Yes you are! Yes you are!"

"Limey's always happy to see you, Lincoln." Said Luke, coming in the house with his brotherly smile. "Thank you for coming, Lincoln. My dogs can really use a bath."

"I'm glad to be here. It's a good thing, too, because my sisters were acting weird for some reason."

"Weird how?"

"Well, it's a long story." said Lincoln. "But I take your word when you say women are crazy."

The Rogue Lion made a chuckle. "Yeah, good to hear you listening to my words of wisdom." Then he made a sneeze into his right arm. He was wearing a pale yellow tank-top and some swimming trunks in case he gets too wet.

"So, where are Whopper and Shadow?"

"In the backyard. They love baths, but it can be a nightmare. Shadow is easier because he doesn't have a lot of fur on his coat, but Whopper has a large white fleece covering his body."

"Heh. So you would have to groom him more, right?"

"Right. But still, I enjoy this and take care of them either way." Then he pulled out a few towels. "So grab a sponge, shampoo, and a towel... maybe two or three towels for Whopper because of that fur."

"Good idea." Then Lincoln promptly grabbed a sponge and a white towel, then went outside. He saw the two dogs in small tubs, ready to be squeaky clean. The dogs looked very happy to see him again, and barked happily at the sky, along with emitting small howls of joy.

Looking at both mutts, Lincoln was think of which dog he should bath, and who will take care of the second dog. Shadow had far less fur on his body than his great pyranese friend here. So, because of that, be decided to clean Shadow, and leave Whopper to Luke.

"Okay, not get them wet with the hose here."

"Got it." Then the Rogue Lion pulled out the garden hose, and sprayed it on Whopper, and the gigantic white pooch was a little spooked at first because of the blast when it was turned on. The pyranese got used to it in a few seconds, and enjoyed a cleaning from his master.

Luke sprayed the hose all over Whopper, and he was really enjoying this. Shadow just waited for him to be done so he can have his bath after. Lincoln gave Luke the shampoo and the godbrother began scrubbing the shampoo all over the snow-white fur.

"Here, you can spray Shadow bow, Lincoln." The bot was given the hose by his new brother.

"Thanks."

Spraying the hose at the rottweiler, Lincoln was having fun with this, and he was glad that Shadow wasn't mad or agitated like this, and he continued spraying until he was soaking wet with the hose water. The dog let out a few happy barks, and enjoyed the soap Lincoln was giving him.

He didn't put too much soap on Shadow, for he had less hair than Whopper. Which made it easier for him to clean.

Right after whopper was done, Luke began rubbing his body with one towel. Right after the first cloth, he was still soaking wet, and Luke used a second one. "Hey Lincoln, can you give me a hand, please?"

"Sure thing. Stay here, Shadow." The rottweiler stood put in the tub. And Lincoln helped his new brother dry off his great pyranese. The fur on him made it a little more difficult for him to be clean, but Lincoln tried it anyway since he was having fun.

"Wow. You roll on mud or something, Whopper?"

"Ho ho ho, he used to roll around in mud like a pig when he was a puppy, three months old to be exact. He was such a troublemaker. Well, at least I trained him to be housebroken at an early age."

Lincoln laughed again. "That is a good thing. And I'm glad I came here. My sisters were acting weird towards me."

"How so?"

"Well Lynn and Lucy were trying to give me a massage on my back. Lucy's hands felt so good, but Lynn's were so rough on me. It was like a jackhammer was trying to cut my spine open. Then, my other sisters were acting a little weird. I mean, sure, they can drive me nuts, but this?"

"Ah, it's probably nothing." Said the Rogue Lion. "Girls need girl time, and boys need boy time, like I have mentioned before."

Lincoln chuckled again. "I hear you. Well, I'm glad that I'm out of there now. My sisters can sometimes make my life hell."

"And that's what I'm here for." The Rogue Lion chuckled. "To bring you into heaven."

Then Lincoln began spraying Shadow with the hose. And all the shampoo was off of him faster than Whopper, and the rottweiler got out of the tub for Lincoln to dry off with a towel. Yes, he was much easier to dry than his nest friend here, and it just took one towel.

"Good boy, Shadow." Said Lincoln playfully. He was rubbing his head playfully. The rottweiler have outback few happy barks while wagging his short, stubby tail. "Yes, you're such a good boy."

"He loves you, Lincoln. Normally, Shadow is weary around most strangers. But he is warming up to you really fast. And, watch this," the Rogie Lion went up to Shadow, and playfully said: "who's a stone killer?"

Shadow began growling fiercely like a war. Showing his teeth, having a scary face.

"Yes, you're a natural-born killer, aren't you, Shadow?" The rottweiler barked again. And continued growling some more for his master "ooh. Yeah, show your wolf teeth for me, boy!" Then shadow began growing even scarier than before. "That's my boy." Then the growling stopped.

Whopper made a few whimpering sounds of jealousy. "Oh, he's getting jealous, Luke. He wants you to pay attention him, too."

"Oh come here. Of course i love you, Whopper." Said Luke. Then the great pyranese walked up to him, Luke snuggled him after. The Rogue Lion found himself being mounted by both dogs, licking all over his face, and began wrestling with them playfully. "Yes. You both better now that you're cleab?"

"Say Luke,"

The Rogue Lion got back on his feet. "Guys, stop, stop, stop. Yeah Lincoln?"

"Have they interacted with Mufasa and the other lions before?"

"Oh yeah. My doggies have been with the big cats dozens of times. They do get along well with Mufasa, Aslan, and the other lions in the pride, but of course, being bigger than them, and being the kings and queens of the African savanna, they would let them both know who's boss."

"Right. That would make sense." Then he looked down to feel Whopper nuzzling his adorable nose against Lincoln's waist, panting with his tongue out, and tail wagging happily. How can Lincoln not like an adorable face like this one?

It didn't take long for Shadow to ask for Lincoln's attention as well. "Oh come here, Shadow." It was another face that Lincoln couldn't possibly dislike, even though rottweilers have a reputation for being one of the most ferocious and terrifying dog breeds in the world.

"Do they get into fights with the dogs before?"

"No. Hardly. Rhey get along nicely almost all the time."

"Good."

"Ahd That's because I am with them when they interact with the pride. Among as Shadow and Whopper stick to Mufasa's rules, then they get along well."

"So can they go back inside the house?"

"Wait for them to dry off under the sun, and then they can come back inside."

"Gotcha."

Then Lincoln and Luke went back inside the house, and the boy sat on the couch, feeling a little tired from bathing the doggies. He lounged on his back, and turned on the flatscreen TV. He was watching "Arrggh!" On the channel, one of his favorite shows of all time.

"So you want anything, buddy?"

"Lemonade? Abd a hot dog?"

"You got it. With relish?"

"Yeah, please. I love pickle relish."

"Alright."

After a few minutes, Luke prepared Lincoln's yummy lunch, and gave him a plate if a Chicago dog with mustard and relish on it, and it looked really delicious. The Rogue Liongage him his iced pink lemonade after, and his new brother began to chow on his hot dog.

Lincoln thought about what all his sisters are up to at the moment. Probably nothing was what he was thinking about. Just then, he got a phonecall from Leni. "Hello?"

"Hey Linky! Dream Boat's on, one of your favorite shows! Wanna come back and watch it with us?"

"No thanks. Wait, is it a new episode?"

"No. It's a repeat." Said Lola on the other line. "The second-ever episode to air in history. Wanna come?"

"No thanks. Maybw if it was a new episode, then I would love to join you." Lincoln replied. "Thanks for the invite though."

"Aww!" All the other sisters said on the other line. "Well, we understand." said Leni. "Have fun at Luke's place."

"No problem, Leni." Then he hung up, and continued eating his hot dog.

"Was that your sisters?" Asked Luke, coming to sit with him.

"Yeah. They wanted to me to come watch the Dream Boat with them back home, but I don't know if I want to deal with them after they were acting weird to me this morning."

"Heh. I gotcha." Then he looked at the TV. "Is Arggh! One of your favorite shows?"

"It's one of them. I also love the Dream Boat too, besides. Everyone knows that new episodes appear every Friday, and today is Tuesday."

"That is so true." Luke chuckled. "Stuff I love is like Vh1 Classic, and Nat Geo Wild, and Comedy Central. Some shows like Frasier, Two and a half Men, Seinfeld, and other of those shows."

"Nice." Then he finished his hot dog. "Ah man, a mustard stand got on my shirt." Then he went to the kitchen to wash off the stain, and then he hands to keep it from smelling like mustard all day. "I'll have to put this in the sorry clothes pile for laundry."

"Ah, it happens. Don't let it bring you down. Besides, you got a collection of those orange shirts you have, right?"

"I do. You make a good point, Luke." Then he toon another sip of his pink lemonade. "So Luke, do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Well, no. I'm an only child of the family. To be fair, I kinda like the feeling of being an only child. If you're an only child, you won't have to worry about a sibling picking on you, or teasing you, or touching your stuff without your consent."

"True. Though, my younger sisters never really did that kind of thing to me. Besides, it would be between Lola and Lana, they often get into fights. You know, because they have different personalities?"

"Right. Yet again, it was lonely being an only child. I always wanted a brother, a little brother to be exact, but I already told you that already."

"I think you did say that before. You said that on the day I wished I wanted a big brother, right?"

"Yeah. I'm really glad that we have met." then the Rogue Lion side-hugged his new little brother. "Really glad indeed. Ain't it fun not being with a bunch of girls for a while?"

"Totally. Lola could have forced me to where ruby lip gloss on me." They both began laughing together about what he just said. "Or Luan could have threw pies at me nonstop all day long." they were laughing even louder than before.

Luke wiped a tear off his face, and said: "I suppose the dogs can come in now." then he went to the backdoor, and opened it, with the dogs running inside the house with joy. Lincoln found himself piled on by the two dogs who, as usual, licked all over his face to show affection.

"Hahaha! You guys!" Lincoln laughed as he was feeling the two tongues move all over his face.

"Alright, boys. That's enough." Said Luke before pulling his dogs off of his new brother. "Lincoln's had had enough of you licking him for one day."

"So, Luke, I always wondered what it would be like to be an only child, too. I mentioned how much my sisters drive me crazy, haven't I?"

"Ah come one. We all have differences. Nobody's perfect, but I understand how you feel about them. Yeah, having ten sisters can be a big hell on you sometimes, but they're still your sisters."

Lincoln let out a sigh, and admitted himself by saying: "I know, you're right. Still, it feels good to hand out with a cool guy like you."

"Oh, thanks Linc. And, if you wanna see any cool concerts or do anything fun, let me know when you wanna do anything with me. Like this band for instance." He pulled out his Appetite for Destruction t-shirt.

"Yeah! Guns n Roses rule!" Said Lincoln. "I know it will be fun." Just then, a commercial with loud heavy metal music playing was heard.

"Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction: Deluxe set." Said the announcer. "Never before released tracks and early recordings of songs, including their newest single: Shadow of Your Love."

Then the newest track from the legendary rock band was heard blaring in the commercial. "Nice! Sounds so awesome!" Said Luke with his devil horn gesture with his fingers. "That's the kind of music kids need to listen to today."

"I know right?" Lincoln agreed. "Maybe if there are any bands I love, I should go with you."

"Good man. I know you'll love it."
