And now, for the fourth day of Clynn Week! Anyway, enjoy!

CLYNN WEEK: DAY 4: GENDERSWAPPED

There are many theories regarding the multiverse, even scientists were always wondering if there were other dimensions or worlds beyond their own. There were many theories on this, with some universes pretty much the same as their universe, only with a difference to them... for example, one universe could be normal, but another universe could have all the residents genderswapped. For the sake of this story, however, let us focus on a genderswapped universe.

Outside the park, a young African American girl with glasses, black hair with a blue ribbon on it and purple earrings wearing a yellow dress was sighing as she was looking down in disappointment. The reason for this was because she had finally came face to face with a horrible reality... a reality in which an older man she thought she had a crush on managed to get through to her that he wasn't even interested in him... the fact that he slapped her in the face so horribly managed to convince her. Right now, she was in the park bench, looking down in sadness.

"Yo, Claire! Are you okay?"

The sobbing Claire looked up to see a familiar brown haired thirteen year old boy with a red and white jersey shirt and shorts and black shoes coming towards her direction. She immediately recognized the boy approaching. "Lynn? What are you doing here?"

"You looked pretty upset and... well, I just wanted to be sure that you were okay." Lynn said as he looked towards the girl in concern.

"Honestly, no. No, I'm not okay." Claire sniffled. "I thought that... that when Bebe moved out, I thought she would at least be single... but then when she slapped me and yelled at me, I..."

Lynn looked towards the sad girl in worry as he put his arm around her. "You have to understand, Claire... things like this are bound to happen. Yes, Bebe moved out with her family to another town, but that doesn't mean that they broke up. You have to understand that. Bebe and Loki's love go beyond their limits, and they truly do love each other. You may have thought it was a phase, but in truth, they've been together since middle school. And there was just no way that he would be interested in any other girl..."

"I see that now..." Claire said sadly.

Lynn paused as he started to stroke the pretty girl's hair. "But Claire, you can't just be sad forever. I'm sure there are a lot of other of Linka's brothers that find interest in you."

Claire stopped crying as she looked at Lynn. "Really? Wh-who?"

"Well..." Lynn blushed a little as he turned his face away.

The minute he did so, though, Claire immediately figured it out as his eyes widened. "Wait... Lynn... do you- for how long?"

"I guess ever since you first came over with Linka. I always thought you were... well... kind of cute for a pretty young girl." Lynn blushed. "I just... I never told you before because you seemed to have eyes for Loki. And I was afraid I would have complicated everything further if I came in... so I just figured, being your friend due to association with my sister would probably be a smart move."

"But... you always pushed me around with Linka!" Claire pointed out.

Lynn paused... as he looked down. "I know, but I was afraid... afraid that if people saw me as this... sensitive person, I'd be made fun of..."

"I wouldn't make fun of you." Claire said, putting her hand to Lynn's face.

Lynn looked at Claire's face... as he gave a smile. "I suppose you're right... but you remember my times in middle school and how bad my first day was..."

"But you've grown since then. You were only doing what you had to in order to survive." Claire explained. "And I know, beyond the rough exterior, you have a big heart."

Lynn looked over towards Claire in surprise... before smiling. "You know, Claire, this is why I have a crush on you... you always know the right things to say..."

"What can I say? Hanging with Linka does tend to rub off on a girl..." Claire blushed a little as she giggled.

"Say, Claire... if you're feeling better... may I walk you home?" Lynn asked as he offered Claire a hand.

Claire paused as she looked at the smiling boy's hand, then towards the face of Lynn himself. After a few minutes, she gave a smile as she clutched his hand. "Of course you may."

Lynn could only give a warm smile as the two started to head off for home...

"And that is just ONE example of a different universe where you would be able to confront your feelings for Clyde." Lisa said as she turned off the monitor in her room.

Lynn Loud Jr. just blinked in surprise as she asked, "Why was I a boy and Clyde a girl in that scenario...?"

"Like I said to you earlier, you sport-loving fanatic, this Universe Search Machine would show different possibilities of your deeper, inner thoughts..." Lisa smirked. "Plus, I now understand that you happen to have a crush on Clyde..."

"Wh-what? No I don't!" Lynn growled. "I told you and all the other sisters and Lincoln that I have a crush on Francisco!"

"That's not what your diary said!" Leni called out as she passed by the room, causing Lynn's eyes to widen.

"Wh-what the- LENI! I told you to stay out of my personal stuff!" Lynn called out in annoyance.

"Regardless, the machine doesn't lie... it showed your personal thoughts in a different form..." Lisa smirked. "And it says you have a crush on Clyde you don't want anyone to know about!"

"ERGH! That is complete crap and you know it!" Lynn growled as she got up from her seat. "Now excuse me, I'm putting a new lock on my personal stuff!"

With that said and done, Lynn angrily marched out of the room as Lisa gave a smirk as she called out, "Who else wants to give one of my inventions a whirl?"

Lynn grumbled as she opened the door and closed it shut as she went under her bed and pulled out a box as she opened it. "Ergh, where do they get the idea? UGH!"

Lynn then looked in the box... before happily sighing as she looked at the top of the box with a heart shaped picture of Clyde taped. Lynn gave a small kiss towards the picture and sighed. "Maybe someday, my nerdy angel... maybe someday..."

And with that, the fourth day has been accomplished! How did you guys like it? And yeah, when I started to do the genderswap version and when I ended it, I realized it was a little too short, so I added in the last scene to make it a little longer so that it went over to the thousand word limit. After all, it's a one-shot and a bit of flash fiction, so that's a good thing, right? Anyway, read, review, suggest and criticize away! And don't forget to tune in tomorrow!
