The next day at the Store; the special guest for the show was having Lincoln and Dawn trying on special jackets for the both of them. Each was different and the guest even made a special hat for Edward (with promises of plenty more to come as she had a collection made); "I was thinking of what would be totes your colors but then I thought: why not give your colors to the other to make you both match with eachother more!" the fashion designer and 2nd eldest Loud sister Leni squealed with her hands together and Lincoln and Dawn giggled at the weird set of logic that she gave.

"I really appreciate it Leni; thanks and good to get to spend some more time with you again." Lincoln told Leni realising that her being booked so that she couldn't be with the family when they picked up Dawn was actually saving her for her own appearance on the show.

"Same with me; I like the colors and I love how vibrant and lovely your aura is." Dawn complimented Leni who then pulled them in with a hug.

"I had been so pulling for you both since so early in the show! You mended poor Linky's heart after it was shattered into pieces!" screamed Leni with joy as they struggled to get out of her embrace.

"Ah yes; giving you both a chance to have Dawn acquainted with one of the elder sisters who is usually too busy to be at home nowadays since she moved from the house. You are most welcome for bringing this meeting to live." grinned Chris with his arms folded.

More unexpected family guests for the special guests on the next day as it was Albert or Lincoln's grandfather 'Pop-Pop' and his wife/Lincoln's step-grandmother Myrtle or 'Gran-Gran'.

"I couldn't stop bragging to all the rest of the retirees that it was Lincoln up there on the TV and we were both ready to fight after what that Heather pulled... Plus you found yourself a nice girl there; you know I didn't want to say anything before as I didn't to come across as rude but I never thought you were entirely happy with Ronnie Anne." Myrtle said pulling them both into an embrace and Lincoln and Dawn looked appreciative though Lincoln looked tense at the mention of his ex.

"You both were great and I was so proud of you showing off your paintballing Lincoln and Dawn... I don't think that I would have ever been able to catch you in my prime with how you moved out there!" Albert told them.

"Thank you Albert & Myrtle..." Dawn said gratefully but they both shook their heads.

"No need to be so formal; feel free to call us 'Pop-Pop' and 'Gran-Gran'." Albert told her and she giggled.

"You are pretty much a granddaughter to us already; especially since you already gave us a great grandson!" Myrtle said hugging Edward close to her.

"Meeting more of Lincoln's family was great and they are so kind and nice and welcoming but... I can't stop the feeling that doing so 2 episodes in a row is setting up something... I know that there is still one sister of Lincoln that I have yet to meet and from what I know, she would be the most awkward..." Dawn sighed in the confessional.

That night Lincoln was asleep when he heard something from the outside; after five minutes of it disturbing his sleep he looked out the window and saw something move in the bushes. His eyes widened when he saw that it was Ezekiel with his clothes all ripped up and with bruises with it looked like he was struggling to sleep. "Oh hey Lincoln buddy... Gotten to the point where I can't trust myself to sleep where my fans can get to me... Starting to sleep here; hope that's alright..." Ezekiel whispered putting his hand up as he sniffed and Lincoln just kept staring at him.

Seeing what he was reduced to he looked down and then faced the bed where Edward was sleeping and Lincoln sighed to himself. "Be careful when climbing; please don't make a sound as I want to at least have my sleep to think over how to explain this to my parents and my sisters since they are still not your biggest fans..." whispered Lincoln with a sigh as he used some spare sheets to tie up and throw out the window and Ezekiel excitedly climbed up.

Ezekiel jumped into the bed with Edward and hugged the annoyed platypus next to him; "You're the best Lincoln aye! Thank you so much! You know we can spend the night singing songs or telling stories..."

"It's not too late for me to push my pity aside and just throw you outside the window!" Lincoln warned with a whisper and Ezekiel took the hint and went to bed.

"Before you judge me; did you see what he was reduced to? Sexist idiot or not; he was still the victim of a sheltered upbringing and he has been through enough since he arrived here I think! Plus I think he is just lonely and in need some personal skills training. Besides; I couldn't just leave him to sleep outside... Do you want me to let him go on the road to becoming some sort of wild creature like that Gollum character from those fantasy movies?" Lincoln sighed in the Confessional.

In the apartment room of the latest Mr & Mrs Santiago; Lori and Bobby put Leon to bed and kissed him good night. "You remember your promise not to stir things up when we are on the show tomorrow right?" Bobby warned his wife and Lori sighed as she gave a nod. She owed it to Lincoln to let her prior feelings affect her first meeting with Dawn...

Yeah in case you haven't noticed I am wanting to give Ezekiel more of a fair chance and to think what his parents must have had to go through with what happened to their son; if only they had the means to hire a lawyer to sue Total Drama and Chris like Courtney had done. Is also why I am having Ezekiel end up being Lincoln's best camp friend in Loud Camp TV which I hope you can please R&R if you haven't already.
