A/N Hello everyone, I hope this wasn't a big wait for you guys. I waited a little longer to see if anyone wanted to take up on my offer to show an image of Will's mother. However I got no feedback on the matter. So that's gonna have to wait until she makes an appearance later. I'll have other images I commissioned at the end of the chapter. I cut quite a bit out the episode in this chapter because alot of the stuff that happens in the actual episode really doesn't need to be in this chapter as far as the story is concerned. Anyways enjoy!
The Sound of Music/Overnight Success
School just ended and Will was walking with Luna down the hall towards the band room.
Luna looked excited, with a big smile on her face. "Thanks for coming to our new jam session dude." She said.
"No problem." Will replied with enthusiasm. "It's been a while since I heard you guys play." After a while they arrived and the rest of the band and orchestra cleared out once Luna arrived. Her band was already there with their amplifiers and instruments ready to go.
Will did his best to maneuver around the orchestra trying to move around all the members and their large instrument cases.
All the other bands all leave when Luna's band arrives. They all know that Luna loves playing her music Very Loud! Louder than any other band, it's kind of funny!
"G'day Luna!" Said a large man with a deep voice and british accent. He's wearing a black leather vest over a white shirt. He's also wearing a purple checkered beanie covering his shaved head. He also has tattoos on his arms and nose ring protruding out his nostrils. He also has spiked black bracelets and a purple heart and crossbones tattoo on his arm.
Oh my who's this guy? He's just about as huge as my dad!
"Good to see you Chunk!" Luna said, giving the large man a hug. She then decided to introduce him to Will, by pulling on his arm over to him, who was still eying him up and down. "Will, say hello to Chunk! He's our roadie! Chunk! This my good friend and next door neighbor, Will!"
Will shook his hand, Will was surprised at how Chunk's large hand basically completely engulfed his hand when he took it.
"Good to meet ya mate!" Chunk said in a super friendly tone. "Lun's told me about you. You love Queen and his royal highness Freddie?"
"Um. Yes!" Will said as he snapped himself back to reality, to talk to chunk normally.
"What's your favorite song?" Chunk asked. Will thought for a moment, then just shrugged.
"Hard to say, I honestly can't decide between 'Radio Gaga,' or 'Somebody to Love."
"HAHAHAHA!" Chunk laughed as he padded Will hard on the back, which inadvertently hurt him. "Good choices! Excellent songs Will!"
"Yeah, good." Will groaned as he cracked his shoulder, looking unamused.
Luna sweated and whispered. "Sorry bro, Chunk actually loves Queen to, especially the guitar player Brian May."
"It's ok." Will assured. "He doesn't seem like a bad guy."
"I love Queen also!"Chunk said. "My favorite song is, I'm in Love With My Car!"
"Uhhh, that's just awesome!"Will said in a rather confused tone.
That's a rather unique fav, that's kind of an odd one out in the history of the bad.
"Hey Will! We set up a seat up front so you can watch us!" Called the only guy member of Luna's band.
"Thanks!" Will called as he rushed to his chair and sat in front of the band.
Let me introduce you guys to the band!
The only guy in the band is Sully, he's a nice guy, however at first, he was kind of a jerk to me. Especially when Luna was really friendly with me….I'm not sure this is, just a guess, but I think he may have had a crush on her. He's cool with me now, but I think it's because he finally acknowledged that me and Luna are actually just really good friends.
Sully readied himself at the keyboard and then another girl went behind him with a set of drums and sat in position with her sticks. She has maroon colored hair, which, like Lucy covers most of her face, her eyes were completely concealed. She has a light tan jacket with lots of pockets on the outside. Covering a black and white striped shirt. She has a purple skirt on just above her white stocking going just above her knees. She wears dark green shoes on her feet.
That's Mazzy she's pretty soft spoken, she's pretty nice but I can't say much about her, I guess she just needs to warm up to me after a while, I mean, it's clear she's quite shy.
Luna took her place as the lead guitar player and singer, next to her was the bass player, a girl the same build and height as Luna. She has blonde hair with blue streaks in it. She wears a aqua colored jacket with purple jeans, with slits cut in the knees, with matching shoes. She also has a white shirt with what appears to be, a purple target on it.
Ah yes! The bass player, and Luna's very best friend, Sam Sharp. I spent time with her and Luna once. She's very collected, fearless and very confident. It makes her kind of cute if I can be honest, hehehe! Don't get the wrong idea though, as great as she is, I find her to be a little weird sometimes. I mean, she's very good with animals! Just as good as Lana, and she also seems to like odd food. Like veggie smoothies and wheatgrass. Oh well, Sam's a great person anyways!
Luna cleared her throat and spoke into the microphone. "Welcome to our performance today! We hope that you enjoy the show!"
Will applauded and cheered lightly to encourage them.
First Will sat through a few cover songs, one from, The Beatles, and another from Bon Jovi. Will smiled and wiggled his foot to the sound of the music, he happily applauded between each song which filled the band with joy as Will encouraged them. Their little jam session was about over until Luna had to demonstrate something she's been working on.
"Thank you! You've been a wonderful audience!" Luna announced to Will.
I gotta admit, Luna is doing good, acting like she's talking to a full audience despite me being the only one watching. While the band has skill to write their own songs, it is a long process to do so, therefore for now, most of their songs are just cover songs.
"Right now we're gonna play for you a special song I started writing sometime ago, it's not finished yet so forgive us if the song sounds at all….choppy."
Luna started strumming her guitar quite fast. Mazzy did a light beat on her drums as Sully stood on standby waiting for his cue to play the keyboard. Sam smiled at Luna and tapped her feet to the music. Luna began to sing.
Rock and Roll is running through my veins.
Electric soul like wires to my brain
Luna then looked confused. This was the part where she expressed that this song wasn't finished yet. She immediately moved onto the chorus. The rest of the band joined in their instruments to join in the chorus.
PLAY IT LOUD! PLAY IT LOUD!
I got no time for turning it down!
Luna got her confused face again and added the next line of the chorus.
I live it! I breathe it! Don't tell me I don't need it!
Luna then sighed as the music slowly came to an abrupt end. Will paused for a moment before smiling and applauding the band.
Luna scratched her head and the band stepped off the stage. "Yeah, that's as far as I got, it's a work in progress."
"I'm sure it will be good once it's finished." Will assured.
"Of course it will!" Sam added placing a hand on Luna's shoulder, smiling, which Luna returned.
Will turned his attention to Sam. "So Sam are you still in the pet sitting business?" Will asked.
"Absolutely and business is good!" Sam said with great enthusiasm. "Do you have a pet?"
Will giggled. "Unfortunately no. My dad doesn't want an animal ruining our furniture and carpet."
Sam grumbled a little bit but didn't lose her smile. "Animals are smarter than we give them credit for, they can be trained and messes can be cleaned up."
Will scratched his head, he felt a little attacked for this statement. "You're right, but it's not my decision."
"I know, it's ok." Sam assured, giving a soft smile.
Will checked his phone to see the time. "Ok guys I gotta go home! Lincoln invited me to a sleepover at your house Luna."
Luna chuckled when she heard that. "Oh yeah dude, you got no idea what he had to go through to convince mom and dad to allow Lincoln to have it. We were kind of banned from having them after all the insanity that came when we had ours.
"I can't imagine it being so good, especially for the mess to clean up." Will added, both he and Sam shared a laugh. "Nice to hear you guys! Good music as usual!" Will said, waving to the band as he started heading out the door. "Nice to meet you Chunk!"
"You to Will!"Chunk said as he waved to him.
Will looked around the school, since it was after classes, the school was practically empty.
I haven't been here after hours often, it always stuns me when I gotta see all the empty halls and classrooms.
Will got to his bike and raced home, one of the few times when Vanzilla wasn't there to race by him on the way home. After a few minutes, Will made it home and got the salmon steaks he had sitting in the fridge completely thawed out and ready to cook. Nicholas wasn't home yet.
Unfortunately despite me agreeing to go have fun with Lincoln and Clyde at his house, unfortunately my responsibilities don't end today. I still gotta make Dad's dinner.
Will took out some dried white rice and some frozen green beans. He took out the cooking utensils and began to work on dinner.
Will was having trouble once the water for the rice started boiling he was too busy seasoning the fish as he put it in the pan.
Unfortunately to make sure I can get it all done in a timely manner, I gotta get more than one dish cooking at the same time, this sort of thing I'm kind of bad at. Not only that, fish is something new that I'm attempting.
The green beans were frozen, so luckily all Will had to do to cook them was put them in the microwave for a few minutes. Unfortunately the water for the rice started to boil over. Will yelped and moved to the water and turned it down to simmer, He took the rice and poured out the water, luckily the rice is nice and fluffy.
Yes! I saved the rice!
Unfortunately the smell of burning filled the room.
OH NO!
Will panicked internally as he noticed the fish had been sitting on the skillet too long. At this time Nicholas entered the house and took a whiff of the burning smell.
"Woah Will! Where's the fire?" Nicholas called to his son as he sat his lunch box and bag of tools on the couch and rushed to the kitchen to check on what's going on.
Will turned the stove off and got the fish off. He looked at them and Nicholas inspected the fish closely. He looked at Will who had an irritated look on his face. Nicholas smiled and had to try and calm his son down.
"Don't be upset Will." Nicholas said with a smile and a soothing voice. "The meat is done and cooked thoroughly. Only the scaly skin is burned, that doesn't matter anyways."
After hearing this, Will sighed and started to calm down. "I guess it's all good then. Dinner's ready!"
"Good job Will! Let me get my work clothes off and I'll come to eat." Nicholas left the kitchen and Will got out the plates and began to set the table and fix the servings for the meal.
I know it looks like I can cook, but new stuff is kind of a challenge for me. Mr. Loud trained me and my dad well. However there's a lot I need to learn when it comes to cooking. Most of the stuff I can make pretty good because it's stuff I make all the time. New stuff….I risk starting a fire on the stove sometimes. I really can make good stuff the first time I try to make a new dish, but more often than not, I may need to make it multiple times in order to practice. On top of that, like I said, no good at multitasking in the kitchen.
Nicholas returned in his casual attire and sat at the table and began to eat dinner. Nicholas was the first to break the silence.
"So, Lincoln's hosting a sleepover at the Louds?"
"Yep, I'll be gone this weekend. It's just gonna be me, Lincoln and Clyde." Will explained as he swallowed a mouthful of rice.
"Don't forget all of Lincoln's siblings." Nicholas pointed out.
Will thought for a moment and shrugged. "True, but this whole thing is supposed to be just us guys. Lincoln enjoyed my Guy's Night that he wants to return the favor."
Nicholas smiled. "Oh what a nice thing for him to do! Lincoln's such a good boy."
Will sighed. "Yeah, I apologize for not being here to do the chores."
Nicholas chuckled. "Nah, don't you worry about it. For everything you've done around here, you've earned it."
Will sighed again, this time in relief. "Thank you, so very much."
After a short time of enjoying the fish dinner, Will and Nicholas go and place their dishes in the sink to be washed. Will went to his room to pack up his things for the big sleepover. Aside from a few clothes and toiletries, he packed a few card games, a few comics and movies.
I am super excited for this, Lincoln was so happy with the guy's night I had and after he heard about me and Clyde's uneventful get together, he decided to plan his own sleepover.
Once finished Will had his backpack on his back, with his sleeping bag on top of it, he looked like someone who was ready to go humping like in the military. He went down stairs and opened the door as Nicholas was cleaning the dishes after dinner.
"Ok Dad! I'm leaving!" Will called.
"Ok! You know where to look for me in case something goes wrong!" Nicholas laughed.
Will smirked and rolled his eyes at his father's statement. "Very Funny Dad! See ya!" Will closed the door and rushed over to the Louds. Will knocked on the door and Lynn answered it.
"Sup Will!" Lynn said in an excited tone.
Will put up his hands defensively. "Please do NOT tackle me and put me in a submission hold again!"
Lynn chuckled. "Don't worry man, I'll spare you….for now." Lynn smirked. Will timidly walked past her as Lynn's smirk stared him down. She closed the door and moved into the kitchen, her eyes not leaving him. As Will started to sweat.
Oh man, that's creepy.
Lincoln was already at the top of the stairs waiting for his friend. "Hey Will! Glad you could make it!"
"Absolutely, this is the first time I'm spending overnight anywhere!" Will said as he climbed the stairs.
"Really?" Lincoln asked in disbelief. "You've never had a sleepover?"
Will chuckled. "Nope, hard to believe right?"
"Really!" Lincoln replied as he brought Will into his room and Will placed his things down on the floor.
"Luna said you did some hard convincing to let your parents have this sleepover." Will inquired.
Lincoln scratched his head. "Yeah, I put on that blue suit that I use to make a presentation. I combed my hair and everything."
Will complimented. "You sure are good at convincing people things. You'd make a great salesman."
"Hehe, thanks!" Lincoln giggled. "Clyde's on his way over, his dad's are bringing him."
"Oh boy, here we go." Will sighed as he rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry it will be fine." Lincoln assured.
Would you believe that me moving to Royal Woods almost ruined Lincoln and Clyde's friendship? It turns out that Clyde's dads were super intimidated by my dad, they already assumed he was dangerous and didn't want their son anywhere near him. I don't know, maybe it can explain why me and Clyde don't get along as well as he and Lincoln.
*Ding Dong!*
"Oh that must be him now!" Lincoln cheered as he and Will went downstairs and opened the door, revealing Clyde and his dads. One quite tall, as tall as Mr. Loud with red hair and a matching red button shirt. The other a rather large man with a bald head but with hair on the back. With a blue sweater vest with a black bowtie. They had big smiles on their faces while holding a lot of things in their arms. Many devices that Will never seen before, he eyed them intently. "Hi Clyde! Hi Mr. Mcbride, Hi Mr. Mcbride!"
"Hi Lincoln! Ready for your big night?" Said the larger dad, Lincoln nodded in response.
"Great!" Said the other dad. He began handing Lincoln all the things in their arms. "Just a few things Clyde will need. Sleeping bag, pajamas, white noise machine, humidifier, dehumidifier, earplugs, inhaler, and allergy medication."
Lincoln reluctantly held all the items, but the plie covered his face and he couldn't see anything. Will moved in to help his friend and took half of the pile in his arms. Clyde's other dad took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lincoln.
"Here are all the phone numbers of the places you can reach us in case our cell phones fail. Movie theater, restaurant, coffee shop, gas station, you know in case we need to pee!"
"Good idea." Clyde's dad complimented the other. "Oh and one more thing. Here's a photo of us together! He handed Clyde a frame with a photograph of Clyde's family. His dad started tearing up and sniffing. He gave Clyde a hug and sobed softly. "Since, after all, we can't tuck you in tonight." Clyde's eyes bugged out and he started blushing in embarrassment. Will rolled his eyes seeing Clyde's dad break down like this.
Clyde's other dad took time to remind him of his possible allergies.
"Remember Clyde, no nuts, no gluten, so sugar, and be careful with orange juice. We know how you get with pulp."
Oh geez, yeah, I get it, they're protective of their son, there's no doubt that they love him, but my god, they're worse wussies than Clyde! No wonder where he gets it from!
"Don't worry guys, he's in good hands with us!" Will assured.
Clyde's dads both eyed Will suspiciously, but tried to put on polite faces.
"So Will, your goliath father won't be here around our Clyde right?" Will frowned and furrowed his eyebrows, he felt offended by that statement.
WHAT!? MY GOLIATH FATHER? WHY I OUGHTA! My dad is not dangerous! When will you two realise it!?
"Don't you worry about a thing! My dad won't bother us at all." Will faked a smile but it looked like an angry smile. Lincoln and Clyde both noticed it, but Clyde's dads didn't seem to catch on.
"Good to know!" Clyde's dad said as he let go of Clyde and hugged his husband. "Clyde's growing up so fast!"
He hugged and patted him on the back, then pulled him away and stared into his eyes. "Come on Howard! Remember what Dr. Lopez said about letting go. Now let go! Have fun Clyde!" The two dads walked away while the large one held Howard as he was crying down the walkway.
Clyde shut the door and both he and Lincoln sighed as they looked at a now angry Will who was now gritting his teeth.
"Sorry man." Clyde said to Will. "If they would just take some real time to get to know your dad, they'd understand that he's not a bad guy."
"Will took a deep breath and remembered the time Clyde's dads first met Nicholas.
(Flashback)
It was two years ago after the event which caused Will's attitude to change. He was still a little grumpy but was more open to being friends with the Louds. Clyde came over to have a playdate with Lincoln, his dads drove him over in their car and walked Clyde to the front door. They rang the doorbell and Mr. Loud answered it. Lincoln and Will were sitting in the room together reading comics as Nicholas was sitting on the couch in the living room talking with Mrs. Loud.
"Ok Clyde. No scissors, and watch for cracks in the floor and uplifted rolls in the carpet." Howard advised his son. "No need to trip over anything and break a bone."
"Yeah dad!" Said a younger Clyde as he hugged his dad and went inside the house. Seeing Clyde inside Will and Nicholas knew it was their time to leave. The two dads held each other sniffing as they waved goodbye to their son.
"Well Lincoln this was fun! Can't wait to learn more about Ace Savvy." Will said cracking a soft smile. He got up and walked to his father who then began to walk out the door so Clyde and Lincoln could enjoy their time together.
"You to Will! I would love to learn more about Dr Strange! Let's keep our comics to read, we'll talk about it next time we meet!" Lincoln suggested. Will nodded in agreement with him.
"He's still got a way to go!" Mrs. Loud said to Nicholas, smiling at the two boys.
"It does my heart good to see our kids finally getting along." Nicholas replied. Unfortunately once Will and Nicholas made it to the door. Clyde's dads saw Nicholas and instantly started cowering at the huge man easily towering over them.
"Hey, nice to meet you." Nicholas said to the two dads who held each other, shivering at the huge man, who was trying to be friendly. Lincoln noticed this and intervened. Will waved to them and kept his soft smile, but remained silent.
"Hi Mr. Mcbride! Hi Mr. Mcbride. This is Nicholas, Will's dad."
"W-W-Will?" Howard stammered. He noticed Will was only as tall up to his father's knees. "The young man who helped our Clyde?"
"Yep!" Lincoln said, still trying to calm them down. Clyde's other dad tried to strike up a conversation.
"Um….I'm Harold, and he's my husband Howard Mcbride." He slowly extended his shaking hand to shake it. Which Nicholas took smiling to them.
"I'd introduce myself, but Lincoln already did that." Nicholas said. Unfortunately Nicholas gripped Harold's hand too hard and it hurt him.
"Ouch!" He quickly pulled his hand back and winced in pain.
"Oh sorry." Nicholas apologized, not knowing how sensitive they are.
"Oh Harold, did that brutish man harm you?" Howard said, checking Harold's hand.
"Brutish!?" Will shouted looking angry, he threw a finger pointing at Howard. "That's my dad you're talking about!" Howard was baffled by Will, sudden anger.
Clyde quickly stood between them and put his hands up to separate them. Now now, no need for a bad situation to arise after just meeting. Clyde said in a cheerful tone to calm the situation down. Nicholas shook his head at the 'brutish' remark, but decided not to pay it no mind.
"This man lives next door?" Harold questioned, Lincoln and Clyde nodded. Harold and Howard both look each other in the eyes and panicked internally, this huge scary man was always right next to the Louds? Would their son be safe with him right next door?
Clyde had to slightly assert himself against his dads. "Please understand. Mr. Clements looks scary but I trust him, he's not a bad guy!"
Clyde's dads looked at each other and broke their hug, they kept shaking but looked at Nicholas, trying to calm down. Nicholas never got rid of his friendly face, still trying to seem like a nice guy.
"I suppose if Clyde thinks you're ok. I suppose you're ok." Harold said.
"Yeah, I guess I'll give you a chance." Howard added. They both sounded unsure though.
"Good to meet you guys!" Nicholas said as he and Will maneuvered around Clyde's dads to return home. Will calmed down but was still feeling offended about their remarks about his dad.
(End of Flashback.)
If it wasn't for Clyde Lincoln and Clyde's friendship might have ended. It's probable that Clyde would have moved away. I understand why his dads are intimidated by my dad, after all he's a really big man who looks like he can easily break people in half, but they really shouldn't judge him like this. I guess that because of his size, and his rugged like appearance makes him possibly appear like a tough guy who loves to rumble. I get it, though, I do get annoyed when they make remarks that make my dad seem like he's someone he's not.
Will took one final breath and finally relaxed.
Clyde threw up his arms in great excitement. "This place is gonna be like New York City! It never sleeps."
"And neither shall we!" Lincoln said with his face still covered up by the pile of items Clyde's dads gave him. He wiggled a piece of paper he was holding in his hand. "I got an entire itinerary for us! First up is the five hour director's cut of a great sci-fi fantasy flic! King of the Rings!" All of a sudden, Clyde just walked up the stairs with a scheming look on his face. Lincoln noticed this and followed him up the stairs.
"I'll get the movie ready man! You go get Clyde back!" Will called up the stairs as he went to the DVD case on the coffee table and turned the T.V. on and inserted the DVD into the player. After a few minutes the DVD got to the menu and Will waited for Clyde and Lincoln to return. Someone did come down the stairs but it was Lori.
"Hey Lori." Will said, waving to her.
"Hi Will." Lori said as she checked her text messages. "So what are you doing?" She put her phone in her pocket giving Will her full attention.
"Well I started the movie Lincoln, Clyde and me were going to watch, but it's been five minutes and neither one is around."
"Who knows what they're up to." Lori said, rolling her eyes and going to the kitchen to get a drink.
Will decided to go upstairs to look for them but something happened when he walked by the twins room to look for his friends.
"Hey Will!" Lola called as she noticed him walking by the door. Will stopped and took a deep breath. He turned and entered the room. Lana was sitting on her bed with her frog, Hops.
"Hi Lola." Will said, waving his fingers at her, looking a little nervous.
"I know that last tea party was a bust. However, I wish to have another one with you." Lola said as she poured a cup for herself and sipped it in a proper manner.
Will sighed and smiled at her. "Sure I guess. I'll try again with you."
"Great!" Lola said with enthusiasm.
"Will come here for a second!" Lana asked. Will approached her feeling more comfortable than with Lola.
"What is it Lana?" Will asked. She pulled out a snake from under her pillow. It was green with yellow spots and about the size of a garden hose.
"Say hi to El Diablo, my new friend!" It stared at Will doing the tongue trick that snakes typically do. Will was a little apprehensive.
Woah, a snake? I've never really been around them before. I gotta admit, this is a little scary.
Lana noticed this and explained some things to him.
"Don't worry, he won't bite you. Even if he does, he's a rat snake. Not poisonous." Will seemed to instantly lost all his apprehension hearing that it's not poisonous. Will held the snake and observed him closely.
"How do you know?" Will asked.
Wow, that's some real zookeeper like stuff.
Lana happily explained. "Look at his eyes, they're round like us. If it's slit like a cat's then it's venomous."
Lola gagged. "Whatever, just keep that thing away from me!"
"No problem!" Will chuckled to Lola.
Lana added further. "Not only that, El Diablo! Open your mouth!" The snake opened its mouth. Will understood that since it was commanded to do so. There's nothing to worry about. Lana pointed to the snake's teeth. "You see, this snake has saw-like teeth. Venomous snakes have fangs." Will looked closer and was astounded at what he saw.
"Wow, I had no idea."
"Yeah, Snakes are magnificent creatures." Lana said feeling proud of herself with her hands on her hips. Will gave the snake back to her. Which she held proudly as it soon began to slither around her body.
"You know Lana it surprises me how much you know about animals." Will praised, Lana giggled in response.
"Yeah, a real encyclopedia on gross creatures." Lola said, rolling her eyes.
"I know a lot about furry ones to!" Lana argued. "Watch! COME HERE CLIFF!" She called for the Loud's cat and it strolled into the room and looked at Lana, who pointed to Will then started rubbing himself against Will's legs.
"Awwww." Lola cooed, sitting her cup of tea down. "Cliff likes you."
Will felt warm inside feeling the affection of a cute cat. He knelt down and started petting him, Cliff started purring in response. Lana explained a new interesting fact.
"You see when a cat rubs against someone, it is because they kind of like you. However there's a more interesting fact about why they do it."
"What's that?" Will asked. Lola was also intrigued.
"They're marking you as 'their human.' Kind of like how dogs mark their territory."
Lola rolled her eyes again. "Only a lot more cleaner than how dogs mark territory."
"You got that right Lola." Will laughed, he looked out the door and saw Lincoln moving Clyde out of Luna and Luan's room and down the hallway. Will took that as his cue to rejoin his friends.
"I gotta go guys." Will said to the twins, however he just thought of something. "Hey Lana, Halloween is coming up soon, I may need your help for my costume's authenticity."
"Mmmm. Sounds interesting!" Lana smiled big. "You're on Will!" Will laughed in response and stood up and waved goodbye to the twins.
"Don't forget! You own me another tea party!" Lana shouted as Will walked out the door.
"Don't worry! I'll do better next time!" Will assured the little princess.
I gotta learn table manners. Perhaps Lori can help me. I actually don't understand why Lola keeps wanting a tea party with me of all people.
Will rejoined his friends as Lincoln was frantically going over his list.
"We just lost one minute of the movie, but we can make it up if we skip buttering the popcorn." Lincoln said reexamining his list.
Clyde smiled. Not butter on his popcorn was no problem for him. "It's ok. My dads say my cholesterol level is already pretty high."
"Oh man!" Will groaned. "I love extra buttery popcorn!" They walked past the open door to Lucy and Lynn's room when a green and blue hacky sack suddenly flew out the door.
"Heads!" Lynn called for safety reasons, but the sack still hit Clyde in the head.
Clyde was dazed for a second but collected himself and quickly caught the sack with his foot before it could hit the ground.
"I got it!" He said as he began to bounce the sack with his feet and elbows with perfect control.
Will was astonished to see that. "Woah Clyde I had no idea you could do that!"
"Alright Clyde keep it going!" Lynn cheered as Clyde passed the sack to Lynn. Leni came out of the bathroom with a tub of the beauty product.
"I think my new face cream may make me break out in hives!" Leni exclaimed. "Can someone try it for me?" Will instantly turned around hearing Leni's voice and raised his hand at her to volunteer.
Honestly I have no idea why i'm doing this. Willingly becoming a test subject for makeup, or whatever that stuff is for.
Leni got excited seeing Will volunteer.
"Hey Will! Always willing to help me out as usual? How sweet of you!" She quickly took a large handful of the cream and slapped the lavender colored cream on Will's face. She inspected Will closely.
This feels odd, but it smells nice.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmm." Leni thought. "Looks good I suppose I'll be ok." She said in an uncertain tone.
"Well Leni, just know that you're incredibly fashionable. You make everything look beautiful no matter what." Will assured her.
"Ohhhh thanks Will." Leni cooed. Lincoln was starting to look noticeably irritated with these distractions with his friends. His hands were on his hips and he tapped his foot.
Lisa then walked out of her and Lily's room with a rather large electrical, metallic.
"Time for my Friday night Brain Wave study!" She announced. She noticed Clyde and Will and got even more excited. "OHHHHH! More test subjects!" The device looked like a big pot with many wires and circuits attached to it. Lisa also had a remote control to manipulate the device. "Hello William would you be willing to be my brain wave test subject?" Will immediately was apprehensive about something like that.
No way am I gonna be a lab rat!
Will raised his hands to her and objected politely. "First of all Lisa, again, call me Will. Next, no I won't be your test subject. Tampering with people's brain waves? Mind manipulation? It just raises too many questions." Lisa felt a little put out by Will's refusal when almost immediately...
"I'll do it!" Clyde called to Lisa, as he kicked the hacky sack to Lynn.
Lisa quickly placed the device on Clyde's head, this device is clearly meant to be some sort of helmet. Sparks sputtered from the helmet and a loud whirring sound began as Lisa worked the remote which somehow began to manipulate Clyde's body in all sorts of odd ways. It seemed to manipulate Clyde like a robot.
"Dance! Dance you Fool!" Lisa ordered.
"Thisssssss issssss awesomeeeeeee!" Clyde cheered as the device was adding a buzzing pattern to his speech.
"Guys enough!" Lincoln cried. Fed up with his sibling stealing sleepover time from him. "Leave Clyde and Will alone! We have an itinerary and we're gonna stick with it!" Lincoln waved the piece of paper at them. Clyde smiled and tried to reason with Lincoln.
"It's ok Lincoln! We can just hang here with your sisters!"
I don't have much to say. I suppose my dad warned me this might happen.
"No way!" Lincoln objected. "I see my sisters enough as it is every day! This sleepover is supposed to be our night!"
"Don't worry Lincoln, your sisters are fun, just like you I'm sure just five minutes with them won't hurt." Will tried to assure.
"Oh come on!" Lincoln groaned. "I can't believe you'd rather hang out with my dumb sisters….."
"Hey!" All sisters present shouted, clearly angry with Lincoln calling them stupid.
"…..Then all the stuff I got planned for us to do! We already missed out on a quarter of the things scheduled!" He continued.
"Well, we can still do some other things on the list. We can still have a great time doing this stuff with your sisters!" Clyde assured. Will nodded agreeing with him. Lincoln became furious at that statement.
"You two are ruining the sleepover!" He yelled. "You know what? The sleepover is canceled, let's just forget the whole thing!" Lincoln stomped into his room and slammed the door. Will and Clyde both felt a little guilty about this.
I have to admit he's kind of right to be a little upset. Even if that outburst is a little overreacting.
"Let's go make up with him." Clyde said to Will. "Dr. Lopez taught me a lot about conflict resolution."
"Let's go." Will said. "They all knocked on Lincoln's door. Hey buddy can we come in? We can talk about this like mature people."
Lincoln sighed. "Come in." Clyde and Will entered the room and saw Lincoln curled up on his bed facing the wall.
Clyde scratched his head as Will scratched his chin. Clyde was the first to speak.
"Sorry Lincoln. We didn't mean to undermine what you had planned."
"Yeah, we could have been more respectful to your wishes." Will added. "After talking about your plans for this event. I'm sure it must be upsetting to have us disregard it like that." Lincoln turned to face his friends.
"Guy's I'm sorry I shouted. Will's right though, I didn't just put on a full blow presentation for my parents just for us to not spend time together."
"It's just that it gets kind of lonely at my house." Clyde explained. Lincoln just realised what he means by that.
"Of course, you're an only child. I guess that explains why you like it here with my sisters so much. Same with you Will." Will had a puzzled face after hearing that.
Am I lonely? Maybe. I do spend a lot of time with the Louds, and my dad. Even though I am also an only child. Sadly dad has expressed a few times, he would have loved to have more kids with my mom, but…...I can't go there!
"Maybe so." Will agreed. "You're a smart guy Lincoln, for totally understanding this."
Lincoln smiled. "Thanks Will. How about we start this sleepover over again?"
"You mean it?" Clyde said in great excitement.
"Sure, only this time! No schedule!" Lincoln then ripped up his schedule into pieces and threw up the pile. Will chuckled as the pieces of paper floated in the air down onto the floor. "From now on we'll do what you guys want to do!"
The DVD is still on the main menu on the TV, we should watch it while it's still going. Will suggested. The three friends bumped fist and made up and went down the stairs to enjoy the five hour long movie with their sleeping bags in their pajamas. Except Will, he just wears his usual white shirt and shorts.
We all decided to have a nice sleep over with all the Louds which went ok. They all came down with their own sleeping bags and night attire, things went pretty well, until Lola decided to give us all a makeover. I tried to back away, but Lincoln reminded me about how crazy Lola can be sometimes. So I agreed, ironically, she gave me a decent look that fits a guy, Leni said I looked so very handsome. I blushed and almost lost it again. We were getting ready for the move, but Lori appeared with the movie snacks, and Clyde as usual shut down and passed out upon seeing her. Not soon after that, we kind of decided it was time for bed. I suppose that this sleepover was a success for my best friend.
A/N Ok guys I hope you guys enjoyed this. I have to admit. I wanted to do more with Sam in this chapter, unfortunately as far as the show is concerned, we don't really know much about her. I know a comic was published recently to show more about her but I haven't read it. I also had to make things up about Luna's other band members. Since these characters are still fresh in this story. Let me know in a PM or review as to what you think how I handled these characters, also what you think of a better direction for them.
