Family of Two.
Chapter 532: Amends with friends and possibly Clyde.

(April 25. Royal Woods Middle School.)

Another glorious day here in Royal Woods, Michigan at the Middle School and Lincoln is walking down the halls and he is still on his crutches and he is alright with the help from Delilah and Leslie, and Jordan, and as they all walk together down the hall, they notice the other friends they have come to know.

Rusty, Zach, Richie and Chad, and so Lincoln goes over to talk to them. "Hey guys, the others told me that you have something to say about what all went down, and also I wanna say thanks for helping the others in trying to track down the four fools who tried to kill me and Sam."

Richie nods. "We weren't gonna let those guys walk away, and I used to hang out with them. Now I see they have lost their minds. But, that's all aside. Linc, we're sorry we didn't include you into the cool and fun stuff we were planning during your wheel chair time, it wasn't cool of us to do so."

Chad then speaks. "We were total morons to think that Clyde's plan was all a perfect thing. We should've voiced our own opinions and came up with a plan all together, because we forgot how bad Clyde is when it came to planning. He isn't like you, and he would never ever be."

Rusty speaks next. "We made a lot of mistakes, I mostly through last year and we wanna make things right and include you into some awesome fun stuff we have planned. We don't wanna make any more mistakes or stupid ideas and plans and just talk it out together and think of what would come after."

Zach talks next. "We never meant any harm, but we should've thought about how you felt and you are right. What we all did, was a dark reminder of the past, let it be the ones from many years ago during the summer, or perhaps the dumb time when we thought you were waiting for Ronnie Anne."

Lincoln smiles. "Thanks, and apology accepted guys."

The four boys sigh in relied, and then Chad speaks. "Awesome, do you have any plans after school? We're planning to go to Gus' and..."

"Sorry guys, but there is one more person I need to deal with" replied Lincoln, and I think you all know who he is..." The four of them know that he means Clyde, and it would seem right that he should speak with him and see what Clyde has in store. "We can do it next time."

They all nod. "We understand, and we hope nothin bad goes down while hanging out with Clyde."

Lincoln smirks. "Me too." They then go their separate ways and head off to their own lockers, and then Lincoln looks towards Delilah and he asks. "What are the odds that Clyde's plan might be dumb and stupid?"

Delilah thinks about this. "Possibly, maybe... His plan might be incredibly dumb that it would cause some trouble. But, we cannot be too sure, Lincoln. We can only hope that it isn't gonna do anythin else stupid or ridiculously dumb. Honestly, I hope he doesn't do somethin out from the past, or else he might not be ever on good terms with you."

Leslie then speaks. "I recall you talking about how Clyde was so dependent on wanting the times you guys had before to stay the same, and then he accepted change and became a new person, and with the help from Chloe and I hope she is doin her part to talk him through his dumb ideas and plans."

"Chloe told me she tried to talk to him." they see Jordan come over to them. "Apparently Clyde said this is his thing and that he has to do this on his own, but this is a major concern and apparently Chloe believes that Clyde's dad's might be involved."

This surprises Lincoln, Delilah and Leslie. So, Lincoln pulls out his phone. "Well, time to call mom and tell her that we're going with the other plan."

(Time skip, later in the day.)

Lincoln comes out of the school and he waves goodbye to Leslie and Delilah who hop into the Ferrari of Michelle and they drive off to their fun time, and then he sees Jordan head to the bus and he waves to her and she waves back and even blows a kiss towards him, which he catches and places near his heart, and blushes. 'God, I love that girl.'

"Lincoln." the boy sees Clyde McBride go towards him, and deep down he knows that this is it. "Glad you didn't go home yet, I have a place where we can go to hang out so we can talk and I can make things right between us. You interested? But if you have any plans..."

Lincoln then stops him from talking any further. "Let's do this, Clyde, but there is one condition..."

Clyde is confused. "What is it?"

"Me." They see Luna come out of her ride and she goes over with her arms crossed. "I am tagging along, to make sure nothing dumb happens."

"Well, I can assure you Ms. Loud, that..." Clyde then sees the shotgun-mother bear stare is directed at him, and he feels scared. "That you can be part of it as well, and so follow us to the location."

They then see Clyde go into his dad's car and they wave to them. Lincoln sighs seeing this. "What do you think mom?"

Luna then pulls her son close. "Whatever happens kiddo, I got your back and someone else is gonna be tailing just in case." they then head towards Luna's car and they drive off and follow the McBride's car, deep down they are hoping that this is not a mistake they are taking.

(Spunk E. Pigeon's Pizzeria.)

And here we are... This is where Clyde has chosen to bring Lincoln for their hang out, and the place has some kids running around and havin fun and the animatronics are performing songs and looking like messes, and Luna sees this as she is drinking her soda.

'What the heck have I seen from this? Why the hell did I like this back then when clearly they have the weirdest and most disturbing things around town? They beat Lucy and being creepy and weird.'

Luna then sees her son, eating a pizza alongside Clyde and she can see two others watching over them from another table and they are Howard and Harold McBride, and they seem concerned about what could go wrong, and this makes Luna cautious. 'I sure as heck won't make them get involved. This is between my son and their boy.'

Lincoln and Clyde are both enjoying the pizza and Clyde sees the less than amused looks from his former best friend. "So, how're you liking the pizza? How about this place?"

Lincoln swallows the pizza. "Well, it sure brings back the times when this place seemed fun, but to the fact I'm a preteen... This place looks..." Lincoln looks around. "Chaotic and messed up. I mean, it used to be fun to me back then, but things are different now and this place is so messed up. At least we don't have a dumb Chuck E. Cheese in town."

Clyde didn't know what else to think and then he speaks. "So, Lincoln. I wanna say, how sorry I am for coming out with the dang plan to keep you from all the fun and... I need to be honest, the whole thing wasn't my idea."

Luna hears this and she is surprised, Lincoln stops eating, and the McBride fathers go wide eyed and they needed to do something, but then Lincoln speaks. "Wait, what?" Then he sees the McBride men and he sighs. "God dang it, you're dads?"

Clyde nods. "They told me it seemed better since you are on the wheel chair, well were on the wheel chair. They wanted you to be safe, and I didn't think the whole thing through, I was too clouded by the dumb things and concern about you after being hurt and on the wheel chair. Linc, I'm sorry."

Lincoln nods and then he speaks. "Clyde, I don't wanna be mad or have any more damned problems with you anymore, because it's kinda exhausting and also annoying. We are still friends Clyde..." Clyde seems thrilled to hear this, but then Lincoln stops him from talking. "Hold it right there, Clyde and slow it down a notch, we can be... Friends again."

Hearing that was now making Clyde less than amused and more surprised. "Wait, what?"

Lincoln then gets back up and he gets his crutches and his mother comes over. "I need to think about this, I'm sorry Clyde. But you need to sort out this repeating problem again with your dad's, and then we can talk about this, alright?"

Clyde then snaps out of it and he nods, and then he watches as Lincoln and Luna take their leave and deep down he now understands what Lincoln means, and then he looks towards his dads who have concerned looks, they are going to have a serious talk about this when they get back home.

As for Lincoln and Luna, she looks towards her son and then she asks. "Are you feeling alright there, kiddo?"

Lincoln sighs and he goes into the car. "To be honest mom, I don't even know anymore." Luna nods and then they drive back home, hoping that Clyde can sort out this thing, and then they can talk things out again.

To be continued on April 27.

A/N: Looks like Lincoln and Clyde are sorta back to being friends, but the best friend's title is a question yet to be decided. Let us hope that Clyde can now fix what had nearly turned into a repeat from long ago. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
