This idea came from FangDriver8. I was thinking of doing this, but didn't know how to, until Fang suggested Clyde take Lincoln's place, and I realized that made absolute sense, considering how close they are, and they would know everything about each other.
I hope you all enjoy!

Episode: Andy's Ancestry (Season 9 Episode 3)
Black Lincoln
Everyone was busy working in the morning. The only one who seemed distracted was Dwight, who looked like he was either sick or terribly confused and dumbfounded. The issue was that Dwight was totally befuddled when some Asian man walked in pretending to be Jim, everyone else knew that the real Jim was at the dentist, and they went along with pretending that Jim was Asian this whole time.
Except for Angela, who didn't care about the prank, but went along with it because she was used to the shenanigans that happened at the office.
That left Dwight wondering if he did somehow forget, or this was one of the most elaborate pranks Jim, Pam and possibly Lincoln had thrown at him.
He would almost say he was impressed.
'Jim' was holding back a grin and said," Now can I get back to work, Dwight?"
Before he could respond, Dwight heard the door open, and looked up.
A black man in his early twenties walked in. He had a small afro, glasses, and was wearing a set of clothes that looked familiar. And he was holding two coffees.
"Hey, morning Linc!" Erin greeted.
'Lincoln' grinned at Erin and said, "Morning Erin. Here's your Chocolate Frappuccino, just the way you like it."
Dwight put down the supposed fake picture, and frowned, that was how Lincoln and Erin greeted each other, and the drink Erin got sometimes in the morning. And that was the same style Lincoln wore, including his signature black and orange tie. He then realized what was happening.
Finding a new sense of determination and confidence, Dwight walked over to 'Lincoln', who was still talking to Erin, like Lincoln normally did in the morning. Lincoln had a soft spot for Erin, and Dwight, and some of the others suspected him of liking her, or they were dating. They had originally thought Lincoln liked Pam, but she was with Jim.
"Hey, Dwight, what's new?" 'Lincoln' asked when he noticed him.
Dwight feigned a laugh, got serious, and said," Very funny. You had me with Asian Jim, but you aren't going to fool me. I know Lincoln isn't Black."
'Lincoln' grinned and said," Well, hats off to you for not noticing race."
He walked past him, and sat in Lincoln's desk. He typed in his password for his computer, and his phone.
"Morning, Linc." 'Jim' said.
"Morning, Jim. Hoped you didn't catch the last night, the Lions mauled the Eagles last night."
"Eh, we'll see next time."
Dwight walked over to Lincoln's desk and said," Alright I know your not Lincoln. And the picture of you with your sisters prove it."
Dwight looked at the picture and blinked, flabbergasted again. The picture showed 10 women, but instead of being Caucasian, they were all African American, and 'Lincoln' was with them.
"How… What?" Dwight muttered, feeling a small headache coming.
The door opened and closed, Ronnie Anne walked in.
"Hey lame-o, you forgot your lunch in the car."
'Lincoln' gave the camera a sheepish look, just like 'Lincoln' had done a few times.
"Thanks, babe." He said and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
Ronnie Anne saw Pam and said," Hey Pam, Lincoln and I are still open for babysitting Cece and Philip. Hope you have fun at the restaurant."
"Thanks, Ronnie." Pam said.
"Yeah, we like babysitting those two." 'Lincoln' said.
Ronnie Anne then left, Dwight gave the picture back to 'Lincoln', and then walked out of the room, to supposedly go outside to think about what was going on.
Both 'Jim' and 'Lincoln' gave their signature looks at the camera.
"Jim asked me if I wanted in with pranking Dwight with that. I was in, but I knew the only person who could pull it off. My best friend, Clyde." Lincoln said as he was interviewed.
The camera panned out to show Clyde was next to him.
"He called and I thought it would be funny. I mean, I knew it was going to work, we are Clincoln McCloud after all. And we also have to thank those actors Luan knew that pretended to be Lincoln's sisters, and also photoshop." Clyde said.
The both of them high fived.
