A/N Hello everyone. Welcome back. This is the second chapter of this fanfic. I apologize to those who were waiting very anxiously. I was very busy this week. I will try to post new chapters once a week. HOWEVER I can't guarantee that I will be on time all the time. I thank you all for your patience and understanding.

I also must confess there is A LOT of new stuff I'm trying out in this chapter. I'll go over the stuff at the bottom of the chapter.

This chapter is to explain more of who Will is and explore his relationships with those around him. Enjoy.

Dinner with the Louds.

RIIIIIIIING

The school bell rang later that afternoon. All the students flooded out the door and students flooded the exit excited for the weekend ahead. Will walked out with Luna and Lori carrying on an earlier conversation.

"So you and your dad are coming to dinner tonight?" Lori asked wearing her usual blue top and brown shorts. Luna in her usual Purple shirt with cut off sleeves and checkered skirt.

"Yeah I bet your dad whipped up something delicious!" Will replied rubbing his stomach.

"You get a break tonight from cooking. You must be so psyched!" Luna said. "I can't wait to show you Mick Swagger's newest album. It's really sick!"

"I'll see you tonight guys!" Will called as he and the Loud sisters went their separate ways.

Oh hey! You're back, glad to see you! Class is over time to go home.

Will unsecured his bicycle. And began pedaling back home. Will waved at Vanzilla as Lori began the long drive home.

Leni and Luan have classes on the other side of the building, so I don't get to walk to my bike with them. Lori waits until the others sisters climb aboard their van. Once then she begins the long drive to pick up her many siblings. I salute her for being so dedicated to helping them out.

Will raced down the sidewalk trying to get home. After about twenty minutes he finally arrives. He went around the back of his house and parked his bike behind the house. It was before anyone else came home. The Loud parents, the kids, or Will's father.

I'm usually the first one home. Mr. Loud I hear is a I.T. guy, but I hear he hates his job and wants a better job he'll enjoy. Mrs. Loud is a dental assistant. I've seen her a few times to get my teeth cleaned. She's pretty kind about most things, but she has gotten on my case about what I eat a few times. I does annoy me, but what can I do, it's her job.

Will walked inside his house and set his backpack beside the couch in the living room. He sat in front of the big screen TV on the couch and turned on his Super Nintendo. He began playing Super Castlevania 4

This is a pretty good size house and yard. This is a very nice neighborhood. My dad got it for a very good deal. At least according to him. You wanna know how interesting it was that we got it?

(Flashback)

Two years ago, Me and Dad were moving from our old home in Wisconsin. Something happened and I don't want to talk about it. To sum up, we needed to move to rebuild our lives. Forgive my behavior at this time, I was a very different person then. My dad told me he got a killer deal on a nice piece of property in Michigan. After several hours of traveling we finally arrived at our house.

Will and Nicholas got out of the truck. Will wore a grey shirt, with a despondent look on his face. It instantly turned shocked when he noticed how huge the house and yard was.

They took a step inside and scanned the entire inside of the home in astonishment. There's so much that can be done with it.

"You're room is upstairs son." Mine's down here. Nicholas said instructing his son. Will sighed and walked up the stairs and found the bathroom and one room directly across from it. There were two other rooms upstairs to but only the one directly across from the bathroom suites him best. Mostly because it looked the biggest. It has one window in the back of the room, giving view of the back yard.

After staring at the room he returns downstairs to examine the kitchen with his father. It's smaller than any other room in the house, but there's enough room for the two of them and a few guests. There's only a wall counter dividing the living room and the kitchen. In addition, there's a sliding glass door that leads to the back yard.

"This is a great place. I think we can have a happy new beginning here." Nicholas said in an optimistic tone. Will's face didn't change he just kind of moaned in dismissive agreement.

"You said you got this house for a steal? This place looks pretty expensive." Will questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey that's right." Nicholas, began to think why would this beautiful piece of property in a nice neighborhood be so cheap? It's something he never questioned until now.

Answer in 3...2…1. BOOOOOOM!

Will and Nicholas jumped in surprise and shock as a huge mixture of loud noises exploded ringing in their ears. They heard it from the house next door. The two dashed to the window to peek out to see the tall house in a big yard. It was kind of messy looking with sort of messy grass and toys that littered the grass and the roof of the house, the two quickly learned why and were stunned at what they saw.

All the Louds were doing their own activities which usually resulted in loud noise.

Lori and Leni were arguing with each other. Luna was playing her electric guitar very loudly. Luan was playing with her prank toys whoopie cushions, handshake buzzers you name it.

Lynn was playing soccer in the house. While Lincoln was playing video games with the volume all the way up. Lucy oddly was the only one being quite, she was sitting in the corner writing in her poetry book.

Lola was driving her toy car at a dangerous speed around the house crashing into stuff and knocking things down. Lana was acting like a dog, barking and growling around playing with their real dog, Charles. Lisa was performing science experiments with chemicals and they keep blowing up.

Lilly wasn't born yet so nothing from her yet.

"Holy cow!" Nicholas said shocked watching the chaos.

"All those kids live there!?" Will said amazed.

"Crazy neighbors. Guess that answers that question." Nicholas chuckled. "Guess they never were able to sell this house as long as they were living there."

Will wouldn't stand living next to such out of control people. "Dad do we have to stay here?" He whined. "I don't want to live near them!"

Nicholas sighed. "Son we're kind of locked in. Give it time, maybe you'll like it." Will scoffed and rolled his eyes. Nicholas wasn't pleased with the response he got. "We've had this discussion boy. You need to watch that attitude of yours." Nicholas said firmly. Will didn't respond at all. Then all of a sudden there was a knock at the door.

'Knock' 'knock' 'knock!'

"Who could that be?" Nicholas said. He walked to the door and opened it up revealing a pretty woman close to Nicholas's age and a kind yet sort of goofy looking man, also looking close to Nicholas's age. They looked similar to the kids next door. However the couple both looked astonished at how huge Will's father was.

"Hi!" The woman said in a sweet welcoming voice. "You must be the new neighbors. Welcome to Royal Woods. I'm Rita Loud!"

"I'm her husband Lynn Loud Sr." They both shook Nicholas's hand who returned the smile.

"I'm Nicholas H. Clements. Nice to meet you two!" He said. He pointed to Will and said. "I live here with my son Will."

The Loud parents waved to him and smiled warmly. Will had a face that said he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.

"How do you do Will?" Asked Mrs Loud.

"Hi how ya doin." Will said waving his hand dismissively and not looking them in the eye.

The parents were a little shocked by this young man's sudden rudeness. Nicholas had to act quickly to fix this.

"Don't mind him he's not a bad boy. We just…..came from a troubled life back home and….he needs time to adjust." The Louds nodded their heads, they understood completely.

"We get it. It's not easy being the new kid." Mr Loud pointed out in an empathetic manner. He called to Will. "Don't sweat it sport. Our kids are great. You'll make great new friends with them."

"Sure whatever." Will said, again dismissively. The Louds would storm off due to such behavior but decided not to get angry. Will just needed time and compassion. He then added. There's so many of them. You two must love getting busy!"

The parent's blushed, in response. Maybe they did, but what's a twelve year old boy doing saying stuff like that?

Nicholas chuckled nervously, his son was embarrassing him. "He's twelve, so….hehe, he's at that age, know what I mean?" The Louds decided to pretend that didn't happen.

Mr Loud had a tray wrapped in tin foil. "I made some banana bread just for you guys!" He handed it to Nicholas.

"Ah that's mighty kind of you guys! Thank you!" Nicholas said happily taking it.

Mrs. Loud then got an idea. "Hey why don't you two come over for dinner tomorrow night? We'd love to get to know you two!"

"We'd love to!" Nicholas smiled big at the two. He turned to Will. He said to him in a slightly firm tone that told him to be nice. "Won't we Will?"

Will grumbled in response and rolled his eyes. "Whatever." The Louds put on concerned looks when they looked at Will.

Nicholas smiled nervously, Will's not making a good impression. "So we'll see you two later!"

"Absolutely! Good to meet you again." Mr Loud said shaking his hand, he turned to Will. "Good to meet you to Will!" Will didn't respond at all, he simply waved dismissively at them again. Nicholas chuckled nervously and shut the door. He gave Will a disappointed look.

"They were being very nice to us! Would it kill you to just smile and look them in the eyes?" Nicholas scolded.

"Yeah at first." Will objected. "But they're just looking for any reason to not like us."

"You don't know that!" Nicholas argued he sighed and tried to reason with him. "Look son. I know you're still upset. I am too a little, but you need to move on. Give these Louds a chance, I'm sure those kids must be very friendly." Will gave a defeated sigh and hung his head.

(End of Flashback)

Yeah I wasn't very friendly then, but before I can tell you about that dinner, let's look forward to the dinner ahead.

On Will's game he just made it to stage six, the creepy haunted ballroom. He successfully leaped across the chandelier platforms on the ceiling to advance forward and began whipping dancing ghosts and floating ectoplasm.

I love Castlevania it's not my absolute favorite game ever, but it's pretty close. we got four TVs in the house. One here in the living room, One in my room, one in Dad's room, and one down in the basement. You'd love it down there. My dad worked on it with Lynn Sr, and Lana, I helped out when I could. It's finished with drywall and carpet and tile. It's so fun, because we got a few exercise machines down there. I use them sometimes but they're mostly my dad's. A fully functional bar and pool table and dart board, and a poker table with chips.

Ironically the bar tabs only serve root beer. Why? Well….let's just say it has something to do with why we moved in the first place. There's no booze in the house.

Will made it to the boss of the stage. Two dancing spectors. They became visible and faded invisible and threw projectiles at Will's player. Will fought hard to beat them. He got them down to one hit, but unfortunately they turned invisible and hit him and Will died in the game. Game Over.

Oh geez. Oh well I'll play again later. I showed this game to Lincoln when we became friends. He loves ghost hunting and all sorts of paranormal stuff. He quickly fell in love with the game. I have plenty of game consoles. Half are here in the living room. The other half are in my room. Well guess it's time to get ready for tonight.

Will went upstairs to his room and grabbed a fresh shirt and socks. Afterwards he headed back to the kitchen to wash the dishes from breakfast. He finished it after about a half hour. He soon heard, Vanzilla pull into the Loud's driveway. Will smiled, this meant the Louds returned home. He went back to his Super Nintendo and began playing Final Fantasy VI. This went on until seven that night when Nicholas's truck finally pulled into the driveway. Will smiled and saved his game and shut it off.

Nicholas entered the home looking dirty and tired.

"Hi dad!" Will smiled and waved.

"Hi son. You ready for tonight?" He said in a tired tone. Nicholas began taking off his work gear hanging it on the coat rack next to the door.

"Absolutely! It's the first thing I did when I came home. Besides the dishes of course."

"I'm going to go clean up and dress. If you want you can head over there now."

Will got really excited. "Thanks dad! I'll see you in a while." Nicholas began to walk upstairs to the bathroom to shower and clean himself up.

Will exited the house and rushed over to the Loud's he was very excited to see his friends. He came to the door and knocked, he could hear her loud daily activities on the other side.

Then dead silence as he heard scampering to the door and it quickly opened. On the other side was Lynn Jr. Dressed in her usual red sports jersey.

"He guys! Will's here!" Lynn called as Will entered the home. The home on the inside was neat for what it was, and well kept, however there were cracks in the walls and the house was more messy than most would be comfortable with, but it's to be expected with a rowdy family of this size.

"And then Grace saw Carol with a pimple on her cheek." Lori said talking on her cellphone, carrying on an earlier conversation. Probably with her boyfriend. She simply smiled at Will and waved to him. Will waved back. She passed through the kitchen and walked up the stairs.

Yeah unfortunately Lori is attached to her phone. She spends most, if not all her time chatting it up with her boyfriend Bobby. He goes to school with me and the older Louds. I met him, he's a very nice guy.

"Hi Will!" Leni called in a friendly tone. She was on the couch and sprang up to greet him. "I really love your jacket. It goes so well with your look!"

"Hehe thanks." Will said scratching the back of his head.

Leni says that almost every time she sees me. I admit I don't get tired of it. I haven't always had this jacket, but since I got it Leni hasn't stopped talking about it.

"Oh I got so many new clothes for you to try on. You're gonna look totes handsome!"

"Uhhhhh." Will blushed and scratched his head nervously. Leni turned and walked upstairs.

She also likes to use me as a fashion subject sometimes. It's kind of cute, but I don't really like it.

"Hey guys!" Will waved. To his surprise the one who let him in, Lynn got the jump on Will from behind and tackled him to the ground and pulled his arm up and put him in a wrestling hold. I was quite painful. "Ow! Lynn OW!"

"Do you give? Huh?" Lynn antagonized.

"Yes mercy!" Will squealed tapping the floor. Lynn chuckled and released him.

"You make this too easy!" She mocked.

"Well….you surprise me every time. Also I never agreed to any this!" Will said twisting his arm. Lynn just ignored him.

Lynn unfortunately, decided to constantly put me in wrestling contest ever since we became friends. I made the mistake of mentioning to her that Pro Wrestling is my favorite sport. I never agreed to this! Nor did I even mention ever! That I wanted to do wrestling contest at all. I like Lynn but honestly the pain makes me so angry!

Will looked angry but took a deep breath to calm down.

Unfortunately I'm a lot happier now then when I first moved here. I unfortunately still have kind of a temper problem. I try my best not to lose it. Especially in front of my friends.

Geeze Lynn do you ever not try to kill him? The voice of Lincoln said approaching in his usual blue jeans and orange polo. Will smiled at him.

"Hey bro!" Will said happily approaching him and taking Lincoln's hand in his. "What's happening?"

Lincoln and Will shook hands and hugged each other with their free arms. "I just got the new issue of Ace Savvy and One Eyed Jack. I also saw the new episode of Arrgh."

"Great I wanna see that new comic!" Will replied.

"Hey Will where's your dad?" Mrs. Loud called from the kitchen, she was working on dinner alongside Mr. Loud.

"He's getting ready. He just got home." Will explained.

"Poor guy, he works himself to the bone." Mrs. Loud chuckled.

"Hey Will!" Mr. Loud called from the kitchen he's working hard. He didn't step out to talk to him.

"Hey Mr. Loud!" Will called back.

"Come on, let me show you!" Lincoln beckoned Will to come with him. He followed him upstairs but was stopped to see the twins in their bedroom arguing. Something they tended to do.

"No touching Baron Von Bearington!" Lola argued with Lana, shielding her stuffed bear from Lana who was looking very muddy. Not an unusual thing with her. "Not with your muddy hands!"

"Oh come on!" Lana begged. "I love playing with all your big dolls! Your bears, your dragons and lions!"

"No! You get all muddy playing with Charles! They need to stay clean for their afternoon tea parties!"

"Hey Lola! Hey Lana!" Will called, they instantly stopped their argument.

"Hi Will!" They both said smiling and waving in unison.

"You promised me a tea party!" Lola said, she instantly became threatening showing that scary side of her that Will warned about. "You better not be pulling my leg! Because if you are…"

"No Lola! I'll do it later tonight after Lincoln shows me his stuff!" Will reassured waving his hands defensively.

"Good" Lola. said calming down.

"Did you enjoy the mud pie I made you last week?" Lana asked excited. "They're delicious, I put all my heart into them!"

"Um….yes! It was delicious!" Will sweated and lied.

I told you Lana loves gross things. She made me and dad a mud pie last week. We instantly threw it in a trash can a block away. If we threw it out in our own trash can, she would have found out. You see, she loves to dig in other people's trash.

They walked until they reached the end of the hallway. At it was Lincoln's room.

Being the only boy in the family Lincoln is the only one to have his own bedroom. Unfortunately it's also a hall closet. Not very big but, I'm surprised he was able to turn this closet into a comfy cozy room.

They passed by Lisa and Lilly's room but there was a biohazard symbol on the door. So it would be best to keep your distance from there. Lisa must be conducting a dangerous scientific experiment. The two boys entered Lincoln's room Will tried to sit in a chair set up in his room but as soon as Will sat his butt on it…

(FAAARRRRT) WIll jumped up and blushed deeply in embarrassment. Will looked on the chair and on it was a whoopie cushion. Lincoln jumped in surprise, he was certainly not expecting that.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed the high pitched voice of Luan Loud. "Gotcha Will!"

"Luan i told you to keep your pranks out of my room!" Lincoln said irritated shaking his fist at her. Will looked angry and not amused.

"Oh Will!" Luan laughed popping up from around Lincoln's door, she noticed Will's unamused look. "There's no need for you to 'toot' your own horn! You being here is already a 'gas.' Haha Get it?"

Will gave Luan an angry half smile. He was both irritated and amused at the same time. Will took the whoopie cushion and tossed it to her. Luan caught it. "Ok this was a little funny Luan, but you know I don't like these."

"Oh Will, why so serious?" Luan chuckled and walked away.

See? I told you I don't like being on the receiving end of these pranks. They're so embarrassing.

"Anyways here's the new issue!" Lincoln said dismissing what just happened. He handed Will the comic he was talking about earlier. Will looked at it in amazement and started flipping through the pages, reading them.

"Oh that reminds me I got a new issue of my favorite hero to!" Will said reaching into his jacket pocket, taking out a rolled up comic.

"Oh a new issue of Doctor Strange!" Lincoln took it and began flipping through the pages to.

"Not really it's new as in. 'I recently acquired it." Will corrected himself. "This one tells his origin story."

After a few minutes of the two reading they begin to exchange comments.

"So he was a brilliant surgeon but he was brash and arrogant until a car crash took his steady hands away." Lincoln said with interest.

"Yep intense nerve damage made his hands shaky making it difficult to accomplish complex task, such as Surgery." Will added not looking up from the Ace Savvy comic.

"He could make a great living as a medical consultant, but his arrogance refused to let him work without taking one hundred percent of the credit. Wow." Lincoln continued in amazement.

This is how we bonded when we first decided to become friends. He introduced me to Ace Savvy. I introduced him to Doctor Strange. My favorite superhero, along with that I showed him the rest of Marvel heroes and the Avengers. Also few DC ones, but only the more mainstream ones. We bonded over that very quickly. Afterwards we shared many interests and our friendship boomed after that.

"So the Old Maid is tainting the shampoo supply with her failed hair care products!" Will said reading the next page.

"Yeah in this issue she went crazy when she entered the business of hair care and no one purchased her products due to her past. She taints them with a deadly poison and slips them into certain types of shampoo and hair gel to get her revenge on everyone." Lincoln explained. "It's up to Ace and Jack to find which products are tainted and stop the Old Maid! Doing what they do best and deal out some justice!"

"Boys it's dinner time!" Called Mrs. Loud. The pleasant aroma filled the home. Whatever Lynn Sr. Cooked, smells delicious. Will and Lincoln set their books down and began to head down to the kitchen with the remaining sisters still upstairs.

"Hey Will!" Leni called, Will turned to see her holding a black turtleneck. "I found this at the mall. You'd look great in this!"

"Um….thanks." Will smiled nervously. He took it and gave Leni a goofy smile which didn't reflect what he was truly feeling. Leni just smiled at him completely unaware of what Will was truly thinking.

Not bad, but honestly I love my shirt and jacket, but she's such a sweetheart, I couldn't stand to hurt her.

"Ok Boo Boo Bear. I'll call you back." Lori said coming out of her room and hanging up her phone. "Hey Will good to see you, as always."

"Hi Lori!" Will smiled warmly. "Bobby still warming your heart I hear?"

"Yeah we're literally in love! You're a good guy Will, you'll get someone to share love like me and Bobby." Lori teased.

"Ummm, hehe, if you say so." Will said blushing very red scratching his head.

Don't look at me like that! I don't have time for things like that…..ok I never really think about it, but come on. I got more important things to worry about.

"Hey you doing anything this weekend?" Leni asked.

"We're going to the mall, want to come with us?" Lori offered.

"Mmmmmmm maybe." Will replied, thinking about it.

"Got yard work?" Lori sighed.

"Yep, but if I have time, I'll go with you guys." Will assured. He suddenly felt a tug on his leg, he looked down and say the smallest and smartest Loud, Lisa. In her green sweater and big wide glasses that emphasize how smart she is.

"Why greetings William!" She said with her strong lisp.

Will groaned and rolled his eyes. "Now Lisa I told you I like Will."

"Oh come on! It's your real name you should embrace it. Besides it makes you sound more intelligent."

They finally came down the stairs and Will grumbled under his breath.

Yeah my real name is William C. Clements, but please, I prefer Will.

Suddenly Will jumped in shock by a surprising. "Hello Will!" from a gloomy voice from behind. Will turned to see Lucy Loud, once again using her ability to sneak up behind you and scare you without even trying. "Sorry I scared you."

Will gaged trying to regain himself after the shock he just had. "Umm It's ok Lucy. It's….hehe good to see you again."

"Are you beginning to decide to treat vampires nicely?" She asked.

"Now Lucy it's just a game I play, and just because I like the book 'Dracula' doesn't mean I hold any prejudice against them." Will smiled at her and rested his hand on her shoulder. She smiled back at him.

"Well, I suppose can believe you. For now though."

"Oh and thank you for the beautiful eulogy for my Grandfather last year it was really nice." Will said giving her a big smile.

"Lucy returned it. You're welcome."

My grandfather died some time ago Lucy gave a beautiful eulogy at the funeral. Just goes to show that those who have an obsession with death has something special to offer. I just wish I knew what her face looked like.

They made it to the table unfortunately Lincoln and the siblings younger than him sat at a separate table on the edge of the living room so Will and Lincoln weren't able to chit chat anymore. He and the older siblings sat at the larger table in the kitchen along with the parents and to Will's surprise….

"Oh Hi dad!" Will said to his father. "I didn't hear you come in." Nicholas smiled at his son, he was having a conversation with the Loud parents. He looked clean and had a lot more energy. He's in his casual clothes. Which is black jeans with a white sleeveless undershirt that showed off his muscular arms

"Yeah he showed up ten minutes after you went upstairs." Mr. Loud said.

"Having fun Will?" Asked Nicholas. Will nodded in response. Will claimed a seat next to his father. The other siblings soon joined.

Luna was late, she appeared at last. Everyone was waiting at the table for the food to arrive before they took their seats. "Oh Will I didn't know you showed up man! I guess that's what happens when I listen to Smooch with the volume turned all the way up on my headphones. After this you gotta come listen to the new Mick Swagger album dude!"

"Ok Luna." Will giggled, Mr Loud arrived with a tin tray while Mrs Loud arrived with small plates of fruits and vegetables.

"Ladies and gentlemen I present to you with my famous Lynnsagna!" Mr Loud said, setting a large tray of Lasagna in the center of the table. The Loud parents layed out the food in a gorgeous manner. Everyone took their seats The parents at the head of the table, Nicholas next to Mr Loud, Will next to his father, Lori next to Mrs. Loud directly across from Nicholas, Leni sat across directly from Will, Luan next to Leni, and Luna next to Will.

Will was surprised to see the plate spread with the fancy dinnerware. The many different spoons and forks. He looked at them all confused and annoyed.

I never learned how to use any of these things? Is it really necessary?

Will decided to improvise, Luan giggled as he used a salad fork to eat the lasagna. He used the dinner fork to eat leafy salad Mrs. Loud put out.

Luna decided to help him out. "Dude." She whispered. "You're doing it wrong."

"Sorry!" Will whispered back in an annoyed tone. "I never learned how to use this stuff!" WIll furrowed his eyebrows. His temper was starting to show which was a bad thing.

"Calm down dude it's no big deal." Luna whispered defensively. They let it be and continued eating. Will looked around, the others sort of glared at him but said nothing.

Will sighed he instantly regretted snapping at her. "Luna I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it dude." Luna smiled at him. The others smiled at his showing that they are not angry with him.

See? I kind of have a temper problem. These Louds are so good to me, more than I probably deserve.

"So Will, how's school going?" Mrs Loud asked.

"Pretty good, I just aced a history test and I got a pretty big geology project coming up."

"So what do you plan on doing after school sport?" Asked Mr Loud.

"Well I do very well in History because I love it. I think…...I don't know maybe be an explorer? An Archeologist?"

I honestly don't know but it's just a wild guess. I only seem to do good in school in subjects I love, history and science. Everything else I only get Ds, Cs, and Bs. Occasionally I get an A or F, but I haven't failed a class yet.

"Admirable choice young man!" Mr Loud complimented.

"Aw to see the world. That would be so great!" Leni said fantasizing about it, everyone at the table giggled.

"How's that new transmission Lana installed on your truck Nicholas?" Mr Loud asked.

"Excellent!" He said happily. "It still amazes me how much she knows about cars."

"Even more so than the time she helped you finish the basement in your house?" Lori asked.

"Absolutely! That little angel is going places. She'll make a great Architect."

Dinner went on for about an hour and a half. The kid table had to yet scolded a few times due to them. Mostly because of the twins were playing with their food instead of eating it, luckily though everyone one managed to finish at the same time. Which is a rarity on normal days. They all dismissed and Will decided to help out with the clean up as Nicholas and the Loud parents put the food away and cleaned the dishes.

"Can I help you guys out?" Will asked.

"Such a gentleman you are!" Mrs. Loud praised. "But we got this Will, go hang out with the kids." Nicholas gave Will a proud look for offering his help.

"Very well then." Will accepted he went upstairs to Luna and Luan's room. Unfortunately Luan had a surprise for him. A bucket of water that was strategically placed on the door that was opened just a crack, tipped over and splashed on Will soaking him completely. This made him very angry.

"LUAN!" Will yelled.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Luna popped around the bathroom door laughing hysterically. She was lying in wait for someone to spring this trap. "Oh Will don't be a wet blanket! HAHA get it?" Will didn't respond, he didn't look at her, he stayed still and his angry look froze on his face. Luan saw this and began to instantly regret it. Lincoln, Luna, and Lori heard Will's scream and rushed to him with towels to dry him off.

"Will I'm sorry it was just a joke!" Luan pleaded for his forgiveness.

"Just go Luan! Leave!" Lori demanded of her. Luan shrugged and went down stairs with a look of regret on her face.

"It's ok Will." Luna said drying his face. Will took a deep breath and began to relax.

"Luan is sweet, but she just doesn't know when to quit sometimes." Lincoln said. Lincoln dried his clothes as Lori dried his hair.

"You alright?" Lori asked.

"Yeah." Will said relaxing but still sounded irritated he just wanted to move forward as soon as possible. "Luna, the Mick Swagger album?" Maybe some music will relax him.

Seriously I believe you're beginning to understand why these guys are my best friends here.

"Yeah come on dude." The other two let Will go and he entered the bedroom.

"Here it is!" Luna said showing him a CD and putting it in her player and it began to play music. Starting with som soft rock. Will enjoyed it and his anger began to wash away.

"Aw, much better thanks Luna!" Will's smile returned to him.

"No problem bro! So what do you think?"

"Mick is a musical genius! Producing such calming tunes!"

"Exactly!" Luna agreed. No person or band can top him.

"Now Luna, you know I beg to differ." Will chuckled.

"Yeah yeah. You're a Queen guy. To each his own dude."

Don't get the wrong idea. We never argue about our favorite bands. It's just Luna insist that Mick Swagger is the best while I say Freddie Mercury and Queen is the best. We're both fans of each other's music. We just like to have a friendly debate sometimes over who's better.

"Oh WIIIILLLLL!" Called Lola from her room. Luna and Will tensed up.

"Tea party?" Luna asked knowing full well what this meant.

"Yep." Will assured.

"You better go then don't make her mad!"

"Agreed. Next time! We'll finish the album and I'll bring some Queen."

"Sick bro!" Luna agreed in her rock and roll slang.

Will left and joined Lola in her and Lana's room and sat down rather uncomfortably in a tiny girl's chair and sat directly across from Lola. Plush stuffed animals surrounded them at the tiny table. Astonishingly this was a real tea party, not a make believe one someone would expect a little girl to have.

"Hello Mr Clements. I'm so glad you could make it." Lola said in a sweet voice sophisticated voice. She had a calm, sincere smile on which made her look adorable.

Will struggled to say the right thing. This was his first tea party in his life. He didn't know what to say or do certain types of proper manners. So he tried his best.

"I'm happy to be here Ms Lola Loud." Lola smiled, he seemed to be on the right track.

"Cup of tea?" Lola offered. She offered him a cup of real, warm Earl Grey tea.

"Why thank you!" Will took the tea, since he kept Lola smiling. He must be doing a good job.

"Sugar?"

"Please."

"One lump or two?"

"Two please." Lola took sugar tongs and placed two cubes inside Will's cup of tea. Will took his spoon and stirred the tea. Unfortunately this is where Will made his first mistake. Will stirred the tea at the very bottom of the clay tea cup. Making a loud scratching noise and he dried the spoon by running it along the edge of the cup. It made a loud *CLANK* noises every time the spoon touched the cup. Lola cringed at it.

"So Lola how are you today?" Will asked smiling trying to make small talk. Unfortunately he made his second mistake. He lifted his tea and sipped it, unfortunately he slurped it very loudly.

"I'm…..I'm…." Lola struggled to say something. She was cringing too hard at Will's bad table manners to respond. She really wanted to end this here and now because of it, luckily her savior came in the form of a call from Nicholas.

"Will let's go!" Nicholas called to his son. It was time to go home. Will finished his tea and stood up.

"Thank you for the delicious tea Lola let's do this again sometime." Will learned he didn't really mind a tea party. To his own surprise. He wouldn't mind doing more with Lola.

"Work on your table skills first." Lola said bluntly frowning. Will shrugged and left. The rest of the siblings walked down the stairs to see Will off. Will bumped into Luan who had a sorry look on her face.

"I'm sorry Will. I'll tone down my pranks in the future." She said in an apologetic tone.

Will thought for a moment and sighed. "Ok Luan I forgive you." He'd rather not get pranked at all, but he supposed lighter pranks was a step in the right direction. Luan gave a slight smile when Will forgave her. Will returned the slight smile.

"Bye guys. See you over the weekend!" He showed Leni he was still taking her piece of clothing she gave him. Her small smile grew even bigger seeing this.

Bye Will! They all said in unison. Will and his father turned around and walked out of the Loud house and returned home.

A/N Thank you all for returning and reading. What did you think? Now I'll admit One problem I ran into is I was too concerned with trying to make the publish time on this one. I apologize if this chapter seems like it just, you know ends.

Now a couple of new things I tried is, Flashbacks. I haven't written one in any fanfic before so I mostly tried it the same ways I saw in other fanfics I wrote, hopefully it paid off.

Another new thing is using existing properties. This chapter mentions Marvel heroes, DC, Final Fantasy and Castlevania, and Queen. Now I was concerned with trying to make a Loud House parody of these existing properties. Like how "Mick Swagger" is a parody of Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones. but I'm honestly no good at that. When I asked a fellow author for advice about it, they told me that, "It only matters if you want to make it funny but if is meant to be taken seriously, then it's ok to use the real thing. After all Loud House is meant to take place in our world."

What do you guys think? Let me know in a review or Private Message me.

Also don't forget this is taking place at the beginning of the show. So Ronnie Anne and Bobby are still in Royal Woods and Lynn Sr still has his old I.T. job.

Thank you all and have a nice day.
