Chapter 3: Hanging Out At Clyde's
*after several minutes of walking to Clyde's house, the gang enters it*
Harold: Welcome home, son! And you brought your friends. *sees the Cork Men* And you brought all twenty members of the Cork Men? Huh?
Howard: Wow, son. I'm quite surprised you brought a celebrity group with you and your friends. Good thing the Cork Men have donated their time to spend time with you and your friends and aren't fighting crime at the moment. Especially their leader, Current Position Hero Hugh Jacob.
Clyde: It's the least they could do, dads.
Tom: Whoa, mind blown! (imitates mind blown sound effect quietly)
Harold (to Chance): Chance! I'm quite surprised to see you, your brothers who happen to be triplets with you, and your nephew who are in the Cork Men. So glad we have the same skin tone!
Chance (to Harold): Thanks, Harold.
Harold: You're welcome, Chance. You still won't tell anyone about your original name because it was a laughing stock because they were the initials you were given at birth?
Chance (to Harold): Yes.
Howard (S.T.A.R. Jr.): Star Jr.! Good to see you!
S.T.A.R. Jr. (to Howard): Good to see you too, Howard. About my dad, his original name was a laughing stock because they were his first three initials. One first name and two middle names.
Howard: Oh, okay. I wonder whatever happened to your mother.
S.T.A.R. Jr. (to Howard): I don't have one. I was created in a lightning storm. I was lightning-storm-created human being. Someday, my dad will find a girlfriend of his and get married and then, I'll have a mom.
Howard: Oh, okay. You're a human being that was created by lightning. Okay.
Paul (to Clyde, quietly): Clyde, having two dads is, like, weird.
Clyde (to Paul, quietly): Yeah, it sure is. But I was adopted soon after I was born.
Paul (to Clyde, quietly): Oh, okay.
*Tom looks at Clyde's trophies*
*Clyde walks up to Tom*
Tom (to Clyde): Wow, Clyde. You did have a perfect attendance back when you were in elementary school. Look at all this rewards!
Clyde (to Tom): Thanks, Tom. And be careful around my trophy case.
Tom (to Clyde): Okay, Clyde.
*Harold walks up to Clyde*
Harold: Just one question, Clyde.
Clyde: What is it, dad?
Harold: How did that Rip Hardcore waffle maker appear out of nowhere? Did it just appear out of thin air?
Clyde (to Harold): No, dad, it didn't appear our of nowhere or thin air. HJ told EPF to teleport all the prizes all 26 of us won at Gus' back to our houses and HJ cloned that waffle maker you saw. He helped Lincoln and I made our dreams of making waffles Rip Hardcore style come true. Lincoln has the other one at his house that's not cloned. You know, the original one.
Harold: Oh, that was so nice of him, Clyde.
*HJ overhears Clyde and Harold's conversation*
*HJ then walks up to Harold*
HJ: Thanks, Harold.
Harold: *turns around* Oh, HJ! Didn't see you walk up to me. It was so nice of you to help Clyde and Lincoln make one of their many dreams come true.
HJ: Don't mention it, Harold.
Harold: You're welcome.
*HJ walks up near front door*
*HJ sweats*
HJ: Uh-oh. I think my icy sweat must be dripping. I can't control it!
*Harold and Howard see HJ and his icy sweat dripping on the carpet floor*
Harold and Howard in unison: The carpet!
Howard: I'll get the newspapers. *runs quickly to get the newspapers*
HJ (to Harold): I'm dripping icy sweat. Sorry, Harold. I can't control it!
Harold: It's fine, HJ! *to Howard* Where are those newspapers, Howie?
Howard: Hold on, I'm coming! I got them! *runs to HJ and puts newspapers with past dates around him*
(icy sweat drips on newspapers)
HJ (to EPF): EPF! Sweat rag, please.
EPF (as his true human self): Here you go.
HJ: Thanks, EPF. *realizing his icy sweat is dripping slower* Now I can control my icy sweat. *washes off the icy sweat on his forehead* Phew, thank goodness all that icy sweat is gone. (snaps his fingers) *the newspapers surrounding him get teleported back to where Howard found them* *looks at the floor and sees the stains from his icy sweat* But there's still other problems.
Harold: HJ, are gonna clean up your icy sweat?
HJ (to Harold): No, worries, brah. I got this. And also, my icy sweat occurs when I use of my ice breath a little bit in the inside of my mouth and sweat simultaneously.
Harold: Oh, okay, HJ. Are you going to use your superpowers to remove those stains you made on the carpet?
HJ: Yes. (snaps his fingers)
*the stains on the carpet floor get removed instantly*
Harold: (sighs in relief) Thank you, HJ.
HJ: You're welcome, Harold.
Clyde: Hey gang, what do you same we play some games?
(all cheering)
HJ (to himself): Hey, at least I brought my own 'Snap here. Along with all 22 of my games.
*the gang starts playing console video games*
*Clyde walks up with to the gang with two plates of his homemade peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies*
Clyde: And I got my homemade peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies!
(everyone else cheering)
*Clyde puts the plates of cookies down and picks up a cookie and walks up to HJ*
Clyde (to HJ): HJ, you want my homemade peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies?
HJ (to Clyde): Yes. *takes the cookie from Clyde and starts to eat it*
*HJ chewing with his mouth closed*
HJ: This tastes good.
Clyde: I knew you would like my cookies, HJ. My Nana Gayle taught me how to make these.
HJ (to Clyde): Interesting, interesting.
(cats meow)
*the cats walk up to the gang and sit behind the couch*
HJ: Okay, I think I heard Cleopawtra and Nepurrtiti.
Clyde (to HJ): Wow, HJ. You know the names of both of my cats!
HJ: (chuckles) I guess I do, Clyde.
SOME TIME LATER...
*the gang is playing Super Fight Siblings Ultimate in local wireless mode, in which HJ is hosting with eight human players*
*in the game that they're playing, HJ is Player 1, Lincoln is Player 2, Clyde is Player 3, Zach is Player 4, Rusty is Player 5, Liam is Player 6, Stella is Player 7, and Chance is Player 8*
(Author's Note: If you're wondering what Super-Snap 95 console Chance is playing on, he's playing on HJ's.)
*Meanwhile, the battle that the eight are in is almost over. It's a stock battle. HJ has five lives left since the beginning of the battle. Lincoln, however, is down to one life and is at 189.8% damage. Clyde, Zach, Rusty, Liam, Stella, and Chance are eliminated from the battle with Chance in 8th place, Stella in 7th, Liam in 6th, Rusty in 5th, Zach in 4th, and Clyde in 3rd. The battle been going on for almost thirteen minutes and EPF was keeping track of time via his stopwatch that he made with his holographic superpowers*
Lincoln: Thank goodness I have my own Snap. I've been dying to get one for, like, ever. Ever since I first heard about it and saw Clyde with his own.
HJ: Yeah, good for you, Lincoln. I have 11.1% damage. But you, on the other hand have 189.8% damage.
Liam: I reckon that HJ's gonna win again. He's the best at beatin' anyone. Except for a few people he knows in real life and online.
Chance: Yeah, Liam. I'm quite surprised that I placed last in this stock battle.
Tom (to the others): Guys, look! Here comes the finishing blow of this battle!
*HJ does a side charge attack and waits until the character Lincoln is playing as runs to HJ's character and when Lincoln's character is about to attack HJ's character, HJ releases the side charge attack from his controller and hits Lincoln's character*
(final KO sound effect on TV)
Everyone else in unison: (in shock) Ooh!

*HJ presses a button*
*the other seven players press buttons as well*
*on the TV screen, it shows all eight players' result cards all saying, "Ready for the next battle..."*
*as the gang plays games, they play for the next hour and a half*
SOME TIME LATER...
HJ (to Lincoln's friend group): So, what do you guys wanna do next?
Rusty: Maybe go to my dad's store and then hangout some more.
Everyone in unison: Okay!
Clyde (to his dads): Dads, I'll be back before my bedtime, okay?
Harold and Howard: Okay.
Harold: See you tonight, Clyde!
Howard: Have a great time!
*the gang leaves Clyde's house and head to Rusty's dad's store*
