Thank you for the reviews and feedbacks.

I hope the massive update of many stories will make it up for huge delay! I mentioned that I have been playing around with few programs' free trails (Which is already up so I have to make a decision if I want to pay for them monthly or not) and a lot of things happened in short time…

Remember that I said there was some problem with laptop all of sudden because of a hard drive? Well, I have to switch to new hard drive and everything have been wiped out (Good thing I took hitatus before that happened), it kinda set me back for a while until I finally get back in the flow…Only to delay again for another month…Long story short, I man up and confess to a girl who I like for years, only to be rejected because of no 'communication'…That was two months ago but I'm finally over it…But enough of these details, we get new chapters!

Some questions won't be answered to avoid the spoilers and if I miss some questions, sorry!

Yes, it's Reggie Rocket from Rocket Power!

Coldblue: 2) Nah, it's a cameo. 3) Maybe, but who know? 4) You'll find out in time.

Agurra: Reggie is 16 in this story, don't worry.

Most characters might be OOC and there might be some grammar errors but I'm trying my best.

Enjoy the third chapter of NL.

Chapter 3: Just a Friend

Lincoln step into the kitchen with a wide yawn, taking a quick glance at his sisters as they eat their own breakfast and he join them before he notice someone missing. "Where's Naruto?" The white-haired boy asked sleepily, "Isn't he usually up by now?"

"He went out, like, a while ago." Leni tapped her chin with a tilted head, "Something about meeting."

"With who?" Luna asked curiously, "Jackie? Bobby? His boss?" Her response was just an shrug from her ditzy sister and she was about to eat her cereal again before one of her younger sisters speak up.

"Oh, I bet it's Reggie from yesterday." Lana grinned, "She's new girl and she said she go to same school with big bro. It's her first day today."

"So Naruto is going to help her out getting around at the school." Lori hummed lightly with a small shrug.

"Yeah." The tomboyish twin nodded innocently, "I hope they don't make weird faces today like yesterday."

Suddenly, everything become quiet, beside some rough coughs from choking on their food or drink, before all eyes fix onto Lana. "…E-E-Excuse me?" Lynn wiped the split milk off her chin, "W-W-What do you mean by that?!" Lana just blinks at her confusingly.

"Reggie!" Naruto waved his hand up in air as soon as he spots the new girl walking toward the high school, he was leaning against the wall.

"Oh, hey!" Reggie turned to him with a wide smile, "Did I keep you wait long?"

"Nah, I got here about five minutes ago." The teenager scratches his head with a light chuckle before he check the time, "We're pretty early."

"Yeah." The new girl laughed lightly, "I guess most people are not early riser like us."

"Yup." Naruto let out another chuckle before he gesture at the entrance, "So shall we go?"

"Sure, you can show me where to get the schedule and classrooms." Reggie nodded with a smile as they start to walk together, "…How long have you been living here for?" She asked to break the ice again and to know her new crush.

"Since three." Naruto replied, "What about you? Where do you come from?"

"California." Reggie answered as the teenager boy whistled out, "Yeah, I know it's pretty far but I'm cool with it…Beside the fact that there's no beach for miles."

"Surf or you just like ocean?" He asked curiously.

"Surf, I'm pretty rad with it since my dad taught me and my little bro when we were kids." She grinned before they spot the office and the blonde point out.

"That's the office, you should get your schedule in there." Naruto said and he wait for her to receive her schedule before they resume walking around together as they chat for a bit until the first period begin.

It was already lunch time and Naruto sit down at a empty table with lunch tray before someone join him with her own tray, a platinum blonde teenager girl with a aqua streak and green eyes. "Sup, Jackie." Naruto grinned at her, "How did your quiz go?"

"Alright, I guess." Jackie shrugged her shoulders lightly, "I don't know the result until tomorrow." She gave him a smirk, "What about you? How's classes?"

"What do you think?" Naruto rolled his eyes as she laughed out, knowing that he don't like classes since he find them boring and he was about to say something but he spot Reggie. "Hey, Reggie, over here!"

"Naruto." Reggie smiled at him as she walked toward the table before she notice Jackie, "Hi, I'm Regina but you can call me Reggie."

"Jackie." The blonde girl smiled back before she gesture at Reggie's skateboard, "Sweet board. You new?"

"Thank and yeah, first day." The new girl nodded, "I ran into Naruto yesterday and he was nice enough to show me around here." She looks at Naruto with a beaming smile.

"Literally." Naruto joked and they both share laughter together as Jackie corked her eyebrow at them confusingly before he notice her expression. "She had a wipeout and happens to crash into me by accident. Nothing major."

'A wonderful accident.' Reggie giggled.

"Ah, gotcha." Jackie chuckled slightly and they start to eat their lunch, chatting a bit until the teenager boy spot one of his sisters heading for their table.

"Leni, wha…" Naruto was about to greet her but she cut him off.

"Naruto, are you okay?!" Leni suddenly fussed over her brother with concern.

"What?" The teenager boy raised his eyebrow puzzlingly, "What are you talking about?"

"Lana said you got in, like, a big accident yesterday." The ditzy teenager said.

"Oh." Naruto chuckled, "It wasn't a big accident and I'm alright." He gestured at himself, "See? No bruise or anything else."

"You sure?" Leni asked and he give her a nod. "Phew, I was so totally worried, like, all morning." She hugged him, "I gotta join my girlfriends, see you after school." She quickly gives Jackie a short wave as she head for her table.

"See you later." Naruto replied before he turns back to his friends with a small chuckle.

"Who's that?" Reggie asked curiously.

"Leni, my sister." He grinned at her and the new girl release her breath secretly.

"One of ten sisters." Jackie nudged Naruto's side with her elbow, "For now."

"Really?" Naruto deadpanned at her, "Right now after Lily? I mean it have been about a year now…"

"I won't be so shocked if your mom is gonna have another baby at the end of this year…" The blonde girl rolled her eyes, "Neither if it will be another girl."

"Wait, wait." Reggie blinked at them with a raised eyebrow, "Ten sisters?!"

"Yeah, I have ten sisters and one little brother." Naruto chuckled at her reaction as he fished his phone out and he shows her a picture of his family, all sitting on the sofa. "And before you ask…Everyone's all related by blood and I'm only adopted."

"Oh…" The tanned girl muttered with widened eyes as she looked at the picture, she don't know what to say right now. "…I never meet someone who comes from a large family…Or if anyone has this many siblings. I can't imagine what life would be like with a very large family."

"Loud." Jackie smirked, drawing out a loud chuckle from Naruto.

"What?" Reggie looked between them confusingly.

"Mine and family's last name is Loud." Naruto chuckled.

"Really?" The new girl looked at her crush, receiving a nod from him.

"Really." Naruto gave her his school id to confirm and Reggie just shakes her head at the new info.

"Wow, just wow." Reggie muttered.

"That's what I thought at the first time when I heard that Naruto was gonna have another sister about ten years ago then I get used to it." Jackie said and they kept chatting about his family before the topic shift to something else for the rest of the lunch time.

"She seems to be cool." Jackie said to Naruto as they walked together after school, "Extreme sport and all these gnarly stories. I mean, I do skate but not to extreme like her."

"Yeah, she's awesome." Naruto grinned widely, "We should invite her and show her few of our hanging spots." Reggie can't join them today because she still has a lot of things to unpack with her family, that kinda bummed him out but he can understand that.

"Yup." The blonde girl bobbed her head. It wasn't long enough until they reach his house and she follow him in, dumping her backpack at the front door as they enter the living room and Naruto turn the game system on before he toss her second controller. "What game are we playing this time?"

"Street Fighter." He replied as he sat down next to her, "Until you want to play something else?"

"Nah, I'm cool with it." Jackie glanced around with shrugging shoulders as they started to playing the game, "How long do you think until it get less quiet?"

"About…" Naruto muttered right before they hear the slamming door, following by rapid footsteps. "Now."

"Hello, Jackie." Rita smiled at the said girl, "How are your family? I heard about your grandpa."

"Family's fine." Jackie raised her hand up in a wave, "It was nothing, just a little slip but he's okay."

"That's good." Rita nodded, "You're going to stay for dinner?"

"Nah, but thank." Jackie answered and Rita nod at that before she joins her husband in the kitchen.

"Jackie! Naruto!" Lana hopped up and down excitingly as soon as she ran up to the sofa, "Can I play you next?"

"Sure, after I win this one." Naruto chuckled at her.

"You mean, after I whoop your butt?" Jackie rolled her eyes with a tiny smirk, she should say ass but there was some young children around and she don't want to risk the chance of Lily picking it up.

"Pfft, we'll see." The blonde boy elbowed her playfully and Lana climbs up onto the sofa, between them as they play the game. It ends in Jackie's victory and Naruto hand the controller to the tomboyish twin with a groan.

"Told you." The blonde skater giggled.

"Wait until I get my turn." Naruto muttered, earning a snort from her and he watch the game as Jackie take it easy on Lana by not using any special moves.

"Yo, Naruto!" Luna entered the house excitingly, "Wanna hear a new…" Her sentence dropped as soon as she sees Jackie and her mouth clamped into a tight line.

"Hey, Luna." Jackie waved goodheartedly, "Sup?"

"Nothing much, Jackie." The rocker muttered, her bitter tone went unheard by all. She never like Jackie since day one when Naruto bring his new best friend, Jackie, from kindergarten over for sleepover.

"What were you gonna ask me about?" The blonde boy asked.

"Oh, do you wanna hear a new jam I come up with?" Luna said.

"Sure, after dinner?" Naruto grinned as Lana handed the controller back to him after she lose, "I'm going with Blanka."

"Cheater." Jackie teased him.

"I promise not to spam electricity…" The blonde boy nudged her playfully, "Much."

"Ugh…" Luna stomped up to her room as she muttered quietly under her breath, "Stupid childhood friend…Hogging…" The best friends battled each other for hours, also sharing their turn with his siblings, until Jackie leave after she said bye to his parents.

"Remember, girls, tomorrow is 'Bring your daughters to work' day." Lynn Sr. reminded his daughters with a wide grin, "So you all better get up early tomorrow morning."

"Alright!" Lynn Jr. pumped her fist, "I can't wait for the chair race!"

"And the donuts!" Luan grinned widely, "I was on a diet, but I donut care anymore!"

"Good one!" The father laughed while the rest of the family just either roll their eyes or groan at the joker.

"Dad, can I go with you tomorrow?" Lincoln asked hopefully.

"Sorry, Lincoln, it's bring your daughter to work day." Lynn Sr. shook his head, "Sorry again."

"That sucks…" The white-haired boy's head hang down with a disappointing groan and Rita feel sorry for him before she get a idea.

"You know, it's not fair that you should have to miss out on take your daughter to work day." Rita said.

"Really?" Lincoln pulled an wig out of nowhere with a lipstick.

"…Do you carry these in your pant all day?" Naruto asked his little brother with a raised eyebrow.

"You never know when you need them." Lincoln shrugged his shoulders.

"So I'm officially making tomorrow 'Take your son to work' day." Their mother nodded, "I'm taking you with me." She turned to her older son, "Do you want to come with us tomorrow?"

"Sorry, I already made some plans." Naruto scratched his head sheepishly, "I promised Reggie that I'll show her around the town."

"Reggie?" The parent look up to him before Rita speaks, "Is she from your school or…?"

"Yeah, she's new to the town and we met yesterday." The blonde boy can't help but to give them a widened grin, "She's pretty awesome."

"So you're going to hang out with her?" Lynn Sr. chuckled as his blonde son responded with a nod, "Just you and her?" Another nod, "Oh, Rita, our boy is having his first date." Naruto choked on his water as soon as he takes a sip and there was a sound of plates cracked in pieces.

"Oh, how exciting!" Rita clapped her hands, "What is she like? Have you picked your clothes out for your date?"

"Dad, mom!" Naruto blushed embarrassingly, "It's not a date! We're just hanging out as a friend!"

"We know." The laughing parent said at same time.

"Reggie?" Lincoln turned his head to the wall, "I wonder who's Reggie and why Naruto is acting a little weird?"

"We should never have watch Truman Show with him." Lynn Sr. whispered to his wife.

"He'll outgrow it…" Rita whispered back, "I think."

The very next day, Naruto guide Reggie into the market street and he point some place out for her. "These are good place to buy some fresh organic vegetables, homemade things, and cheap clothes." He smiled at her.

"Gotcha." Reggie smiled back, "It might help my family out with the money in long run."

"They do." Naruto nodded, "My parent save so much money from shopping here."

"Oh, right." She nearly smacked her forehead, "I just forget about your large family."

"That's okay, you just know a while ago." He chuckled lightly before he coughs lightly, "So…Can I ask you what make your family move here?"

"Well, my dad is trying to start up a Shore Snack franchise, a restaurant with board shop, and we have about three of them now." Reggie glanced at some stores, "Right now, I bet he is checking in with some realtors for any land plot or buildings. In other word, we're here because of job and that's it."

"That sounds pretty cool." Naruto hummed in thought, "And how do you and your family take it about moving here away from California?"

"My mom and I'm kinda okay with it." She shrugged her shoulders, "But Otto, my little brother, doesn't take it pretty well." He nodded to her in understanding, "Can I ask you some questions?"

"Sure, shoot." He grinned.

"Um, what's it like to have many sisters and one brother?" Reggie asked lamely, she want to know him more but she don't know where to start since it's her first time to have a crush.

"It's kinda hard to find right words for it…" Naruto rubbed his chin, "…Chaos, but in a good way. When I was little, it was pretty tough for me because I really don't understand girls at all and I still do." He chuckled together with her, "And I did have hard time with their names…" He noticed her puzzled expression, "All of my sisters and brother's name start with L because of my parents and some names are almost same…Luna and Luan."

"Oh, wow." Her eyes widened, "I can see that."

"Yeah." He laughed, "But I got used to it after few years and I pick up some tricks here and there. I honestly can't imagine myself with a small family and I'm very thankful to be taken into a large family like mine."

Reggie glanced at him with a small smile as she grasp her hands behind her back, "Is that so? Mind telling me a bit about your siblings?"

"Sure, let me start with Lori, my big sister…" Naruto started to talk about his family while he ask her about her family and it went on for a while until they both witness Lincoln drag down the street by a horse, screaming his head off.

"…Was that your little brother?" She asked.

"Yup." He deadpanned, shaking his head at the sight.

"Shall we do something?"

"Nah, he'll be fine. That is not first time it happened with him…" He paused, "…And that isn't the craziest thing that he does, beside some of my sisters." They resumed their tour of the town.

"I'm home!" Naruto walked into the house right before Lynn suddenly tackle him with a wide grin.

"Naruto!" The tomboy looked up to her big brother, "Wanna hear about what I did at dad's workplace?"

"Sure, I'll love to." He messed her hair up playfully.

"Welcome home, Naruto, how was your date?" Their father peeked out of the kitchen with a teasing smirk.

"I-I-It's not a date, dad!" Naruto stuttered with a blush, "I told you yesterday, I was giving Reggie a tour!"

"Then why is your face red?" Lynn Sr. teased.

"Shut up!" The blonde boy turned his head away out of embarrassment.

"When will we meet your girlfriend?" Rita's voice asked from the living room as the mother carries the dirty laundry.

"M-M-Mom!" Naruto cried out, not noticing a twitch of Lynn's eyebrow or her gritting teeth.

"What?!" Lola skidded to the hallway on top of the stair, "Naruto have a girlfriend?" She bounced up and down excitingly, "Oh, oh! What is she like? Is she pretty? Nice?"

"Is it Jackie?" Lori asked, "Or this new girl, Reggie?"

"No, I don't…" The blonde boy was about to say something but he got cut off as soon as Lincoln come down the stair.

"What's going on?" Lincoln asked confusingly.

"Naruto have a girlfriend." Lana hollered from the living room, overhearing everything.

"Really?" He looked up to his only brother with a blink.

"She's no…" Naruto attempted again but once again, someone cut him off.

"I have hard time believing that he has a girlfriend." Lisa said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Hey!" The blonde boy narrowed his eyes at his genius sister, "Why is it hard to believe that I have…Wait, I do no…"

"Don't he already have girlfriend?" Leni asked, coming into the living room confusingly. "Us and Jackie?"

"No, no, girlfriends have different meaning when it comes to opposing genders." Lisa explained to her ditzy sister, "Jackie is his best friend…With a good chance of becomes his girlfriend…" Naruto was about to say something but…

"NARUTO DO NOT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!" Lynn shouted loud and almost everyone jumped up at angry tomboy's shout. "He said he doesn't!"

"Um, what she said." Naruto scratched his head.

"Dang, and I was hoping to set up a double date." Lori looked at some texts from her phone as her adopted brother rolled his eyes at her comment.

"Come on, let's go outside and play catch." Lynn dragged her brother out with a grumble.

"So, mind telling me what it was about back there?" Naruto asked Lynn after few tossing as he catches the baseball.

"What are you talking about?" Lynn asked, catching the ball from him.

"You know, you losing your cool when they pester me about…" He explained.

"Because they won't let it up or let you say anything about it." The tomboy threw the ball back to him, cutting him off in process. "It just ticks me off."

"But they were just teasing, just something that we always do all the time." Naruto replied, "So why were you mad about them teasing me? Usually, you always get mad when your team lose or when one of us mess up."

"Because I…" Lynn caught the ball before she pause for a moment then throw it back to him, "Just because."

"Alright then." He shrugged his shoulders, tossing it back to her. He decide not to push it or it will blow up in his face big time, he had experienced them too many time with his sisters when he was little and he don't want to experience it again. They can be so scary when they get angry.

It was late at night when Leni wake up, sitting up and she quietly walk out of her room. Her eyes darting everywhere as she pull the attic door open before she climb up into her brother's room and she tiptoeing toward her brother's bed. "N-Naruto, are you up?" Leni poked Naruto's side few time, drawing a sleepily groan from him as he roll on his back with a groggily blink.

"Leni?" Naruto mumbled, "What is it?"

"Can I sleep with you?" She asked and her brother just flips part of his blanket over as a greenlit signal. "Thank." She crawls in and they just lie there for a moment until Naruto speak up.

"Bad dream?" He asked as Leni confirmed it with a hum, "Wanna talk about it?"

"Nah." Leni placed her arms around his body with a shaking head, "I'm okay now because you're here."

Naruto chuckled sleepily, "Alright then…You know you're kinda too old for that? Sleeping with your brother each time you have a bad dream."

"Is that bad thing?" She asked.

"No, just…" He waved his hand up in air lazily, "Ah, forget it. Go to sleep, it's too late now."

"Okay, love you." Leni snuggled to his side happily.

"Love you too, sis." Naruto pecked the top of her head and he slowly go back to sleep, his sister snore on top of his chest.

And that end the third chapter of NL! Love it? Hate it?

So far, Naruto have been helping Reggie around and we have met Naruto's best friend, Jackie! Plus, we have seen how few of his family members react to the news and some of them have teased him about it.

Will Naruto and Reggie's relationship change? Or will it be with someone else like Jackie? Why doesn't Luna like Jackie? Why does Lynn get mad? What will happen next? Let's find out in next chapter!

Anyway, I think that's all I can say for now. Thank you for reading it.
