A/N Welcome back everyone. This chapter will divulge into more backstory for a short bit, although just like the others before, it will focus mostly on relations. This chapter is going to focus on Will and Clyde. My job is easing up now so I should be able to get back to updating this story more regularly soon.

Pay attention to the notes at the end of this chapter I have a question for you all. I would like to commemorate this story with a potential surprise for you all for reaching ten chapters.

Linc or Swim/Changing the Baby

It was a particular hot day. Will just finished cutting the hedge on the side of the Clement's home and the Loud's. He laid the trimmers down next to his foot as he wiped the sweat from his brow. His jacket was tied around his waist again. He sat on his patio in a shady spot as he breathed hard. He was out of breath for working so hard in the hot sun.

Oh thank god I'm finished. It's so hot out! I can't take it anymore! The Louds are so lucky! They all went to the Royal Woods public pool. Lana told me as they all left in their bathing suits and carrying their pool toys.

After a little while the Louds returned Will was starting to get dumbfounded seeing a few of Lincoln's sisters in their swimwear. All of them had disappointed looks on their faces. He blushed slightly as his mind raced again.

Oh no, not again. They're showing a lot of skin.

He noticed that the Louds had disappointed looks on their faces. So he went over to Lincoln and tried his best not to eyeball his sisters.

"That was fast." Will said to Lincoln. "How was your pool trip?"

"It barely took place." Lincoln shouted. "Just when the fun is ready to begin. We get kicked out of the pool before I get a chance to do a cannonball!"

"Yeah, we went to three pools!" Lynn said. "But they threw us out of the first one cause we were doing chicken fights."

"That sucks!" Will said agreeing with her, she was just wearing a jersey with swim trunks so Will was ok making eye contact with her.

Honestly I have no idea what that is, but if Lynn is making it up it must be painful to do.

"The second one was because I was making chicken soup out of the pool water. I even added the carrots and celery." Lana whined. Will made eye contact with her to, she was wearing her overalls without a shirt. He also blinked, feeling grossed out by that statement.

"Lana…..why would you make chicken soup with pool water?" Will questioned.

"Because the water kind of tastes like chicken broth!"

Will shook his head in disgust.

I shouldn't have asked. I sooooo didn't need to know that.

Some time later Will was sitting on a lawn chair on the back patio sipping on Lemonade. Nicholas was in the house sitting in the basement. He wanted to stay inside the air conditioned house, down in the basement which made it extra cool for him. He looked over to the Loud's backyard and saw Lincoln carrying a large box. He moved over behind their shed and opened the box up and a large yellow, plastic, wrinkled up object fell out of it. Along with a foldable paper.

Oh jeez, what's he up to this time?

Lincoln glanced at it and tossed it aside and Will watched him stretch out the object until Will managed to make out what it was.

Oh hey! It's an inflatable swimming pool! Very clever of him!

Lincoln attempted to set the pool up, however he just ended up folding it into very odd shapes, like a sailboat, a unicorn, and a tent.

Woah, how's he doing that? That's amazing origami! Now if only he wasn't doing it on accident.

Lincoln started to get overwhelmed with anger that he began to wrestle with his pool until he dug the paper he had, out of the trash he threw it in.

Will decided to go over to Lincoln and offer help.

"Good afternoon Lincoln!" Will called in a cheery voice to get his attention.

"Hey Will." Lincoln said, calming down. As he folded out the paper and began reading it.

"Bought a pool I see." Will pointed out. "Very smart of you, seeing how your family was banned from just about every pool in the state."

"Yeah, but please don't tell my sisters about this! I bought this pool so I can cool off and do cannon balls. If they all use it, they'll ruin it!" Lincoln calmly pleaded with Will. He responded by making a zipping motion across his lips.

"So what is it you got there?" Will asked, referring to the paper in Lincoln's hands.

"The instructions. Just got reminded that you should read before assembling." Lincoln laughed lighty, trying not to make him sound stupid.

"Let me give you a hand." Will offered which Lincoln was more than happy to accept.

After a few minutes they finally managed to get the pool folded out properly, now is the time to inflate it. Although the process wasn't easy, because they were still working out in the hot sun. Will still had his jacket around his waist, and both boys were sweating very much.

"I guess I gotta blow this thing up the old fashioned way." Lincoln thought out loud. Will understood he meant blowing it up with his mouth.

Oh no, no way my best bud is gonna suffocate himself trying to blow up this big pool with just his lungs!

"Hang on." Will offered he had a bright idea. He rushed to his home and to his garage and came back with a foot air pump.

"Good thinking!" Lincoln said as the two took turns stepping on the pump to blow air into it, which they successfully did quickly.

"Alright now we add water!" Lincoln announced with confidence. He ran and got the garden hose and began to fill it up with water as Will held the hose in place.

It took about twenty minutes but the setting up of the pool was a success.

"Oh man thanks for your help Will." Lincoln said in a very grateful tone. "This would have been too painful to blow up, I could have possibly suffered bee stings, or a harsh sunburn." Will, blinked and started chuckling at how ridiculous that sounded.

"Well looks like none of those things are gonna happen to you." Will said, once more wiping the sweat off his head with his forearm.

"Now, to get changed and cool down." Lincoln said in excitement. "You can come join me if you want. I owe you for helping me."

Will thought about it hard. "Hmmmmmmmm…..You know what I think I will. Thanks for the offer. I could use cool water on this hot day." Lincoln and Will went their separate ways as the two went into their homes to change clothes. Little did either of them know that Lincoln's siblings saw the pool from the kitchen window.

Will walked out his back door in nothing but swim trunks that matched the color of his jacket. He hopped the fence and joined Lincoln who also changed into his orange swim trunks.

"Man this is gonna be a blast! I can't wait to relax in my own pool!" Lincoln said with excitement.

Will chuckled. "I hear ya, especially if you and your sisters got banned from almost every pool in the state of Michigan!"

Lincoln grumbled slightly in response but picked himself back up. "I can finally do a…" Lincoln charged at his pool with great haste as Will calmly walked up to it. "…..CANNONBALL!" But Lincoln screeched to a halt and commedically slammed his face into the rim of his pool when he noticed something he hoped he would be able to avoid. Lori and Leni sat in the pool on inflatable pool chairs sipping on drinks in their swimsuits. Will stopped and blushed at the sight in front of him again.

Oh no, not again! The two most beautiful ladies I know, in bikinis!

He gave himself a mental slap in the face. SMACK! He shook his head a few times to snap out of it.

Come on Will! I gotta control myself! I can't keep getting hypnotised by this lovely image!

Lincoln was stunned to see his sisters in his pool. He thought he kept it a closely guarded secret.

"When did….how the…..what are you guys doing here?" He asked.

"Lincoln this is literally, genius!" Lori praised him. "Who's gonna kick us out of our own pool?"

"Right!" Leni said as she and Lori happily toasted their drinks together. "Are you and Will getting in? There's totes room!"

"Um...actually there's only room for one!" Lincoln said as he grabbed the box for the pool. "See? Says so right on the box! 'Paradise For One!"

"CHICKEN FIGHT!" Lynn cheered surprising Will and Lincoln as she jumped out of nowhere and landed on Lincoln's shoulders tackling him to the ground. "I call Lincoln!" Lori and Leni turned their attention towards Will and started giggling.

Will noticed the eyes on him and started blushing. His heart and mind started racing as he quickly tried to figure out what was going on.

Oh man, what are they laughing about?

"What's so funny?" He questioned trying not to get, or sound angry.

Lori and Leni started teasing him. "Oh Will, you look so cute!" Lori cooed in a joking tone.

"Yes, I never saw you without your shirt off! You must be working out!" Leni also teased.

Lynn looked at Will's body and added to it, although she wasn't teasing him. "Yeah man! You got nice arms and nice pecs! Unfortunately you're kind of skinny as a rail everywhere else!"

Will covered himself up and blushed deeper. Like someone who was completely nude in public.

Oh god! Oh god! I can't do this!

"AHHHHH!" Will yelled as he ran back into his home. Leni and Lori were still giggling but quickly ceased it. Lincoln, unfortunately had his face in the dirt after Lynn took him down, so he didn't see anything.

Yeah I know, I can stand up to bullies no problem, I'm not afraid to fight if I have to, but when it comes to attention from pretty girls. I'm a complete wimp!

Will entered the back door of his house and stood against the kitchen wall with a horrified look on his face, and his blush not going away. Nicholas came out from the basement and poured himself a glass of ice tea from the fridge. He didn't look at his son but he knew he was there.

"Going for a swim?" He asked as he closed the fridge door. Will didn't answer. Nicholas turned and saw his son's face. Which looked as if he just got traumatized.

"Ah, do I want to know what happened?" Nicholas questioned raising an eyebrow.

Will regained enough of himself to finally speak. "I just chickened out." He walked up the stairs with his head hanging in shame. Will closed himself in his room. Nicholas looked out the kitchen window and saw Lincoln's family enjoying the pool, the remainder of Lincoln's sisters had arrived and started enjoying the pool. Poor Lincoln was trying his hardest to keep them all under control. Nicholas thought about it, trying to figure it out.

Nicholas stepped out and approached Lori just as all the sisters were angrily walking away from Lincoln's pool. Surprisingly, even Bobby showed up dressed as a Lifeguard.

He called out to her. "Excuse me, Lori!"

Will laid on his bed looking depressed, he hadn't changed out of his swimwear, all he did was stare at the ceiling. With his arms crossed on his chest.

Suddenly Nicholas opened the door to his room and gently walked in and sat on the bed. He had a concerned look on his face for his son.

"Hey Will." He said in a soothing voice.

"Hi dad." Will replied, not taking his eyes off the ceiling.

"Look I went over to the Loud's, I talked to Lori, she told me what happened." Nicholas explained.

"Yeah?" Will questioned, still not moving.

Nicholas sighed. "Look son. Lori knows about your little 'hang up' when you get attention from women. Especially good looking ones."

Will rose up in surprise. "Wait! She does?"

Nicholas nodded. "Yes, that woman is quite wise for her age."

"She told you what else happened?" Will asked, feeling embarrassed.

"Yeah, about you running away." Nicholas sighed. "Look son, those two were just having fun, they didn't mean anything by teasing you."

Will sighed. "Yeah, I know. I just overreacted."

Nicholas chuckled lightly. "You something son, you remind me of me when I was your age."

Will was confused. "What are you talking about?"

"I wasn't really a popular boy in school, or at the mall, I wasn't exactly handsome, I looked much like you, but whenever I got attention from girls. My brain also got lit on fire."

Will's spirit lit up hearing his father say that. "Really?"

"Yeah, your aunt made fun of me when I couldn't get dates for the dances because I was too shy. When I tried to ask a girl, or the reverse. I'd freeze up and not say anything."

Will was surprised. "But you're a big strong man."

I love hearing stuff like this from dad. There's a lot about him that I do know, and a lot I don't.

"Son that's just me on the outside, not the inside." Nicholas explained. "Also I was your age, I didn't learn how to deal with my hang ups yet."

"How did you overcome it?" Will asked.

"I just had to give it time, ironically. Your aunt helped me, despite her making fun of me. I manage to get a few dates in high school, and then in college. That's when I met your mother."

Will's eyes bugged out hearing his father bring her up. "Was it still just as easy when you first saw her?"

Nicholas started laughing. "Oh no, my hang ups came back when I knew I just had to talk to her. I made a fool of myself several times before I even managed to ask her out."

Will paused and thought about it for a moment. "I don't understand what this has to do with me and what happened dad."

Nicholas decided to explain further. "You see son. You are already ahead of me when I was your age. I was just shy and couldn't even say hello. You on the other hand can at least be able to talk and maintain a level head during such a situation. You're stronger than you think, and I am so proud of you. I think you should go back out there and enjoy the fun in the sun with the Louds."

"But what if I'm teased again?" Will asked.

Nicholas smiled, he knew exactly what to say. "Well, take what they say as a complement. If they say how good looking you are, then that's a good thing." Will paused and thought about it for a moment.

He smiled big and said with confidence. "You're right dad! I can do this! I may still have my 'hang up,' but after hearing you tell me about you when you were my age, I know I can try my best to work through it. Who knows, maybe I can overcome it. I'm going back out there and going to enjoy a pool party with my friends!"

Will hugged his dad and raced out of his room and out the front door. Nicholas sighed and thought about this talk. He snickered to himself.

"I'm not surprised they said you're good looking." Nicholas thought to himself. "Your mom is very beautiful. Any good looks you have, you got your good looks from her."

Will marched down the sidewalk to the Loud's front yard with a confident look on his face.

You know, knowing I'm not alone in my problems with attention from pretty women, makes me feel better. I may not overcome it for a while, but I know I will someday if I just work at it.

Will stopped and gasped in awe, there was a brand new swimming pool one the Loud's front yard. It was huge and beautiful. It was blue and had a yellow fish with an open mouth forming a waterslide. The top of the fish shot water out of the top like a whale's blowhole. All the Louds, except Lincoln, were playing and having a fun time in the water. Lori had a large Lifeguard chair set up nearby and Bobby sat in it, posing as a real lifeguard. Will walked past Bobby, who noticed him and called down to him.

"Hey Will!" Bobby got off his chair and greeted him.

"How's it going buddy?" Will said, waving to him.

"Awesome, look I saw your dad, Ronnie Anne was right. He IS a giant!"

"Hehe told you." Will laughed. "But I guess it takes more to see than believe right?"

"Maybe." Bobby concluded. "All I can say is good thing I didn't have to meet him when I started dating Lori. Otherwise I'd be too scared to date someone who's father is that huge." Both Bobby and Will shared a laugh.

"So what's going on? Why is there a new pool?" Will asked.

"Lincoln banned us from his pool so we all pooled our money together and bought our family sized pool." Luna explained.

"Nice rhyme Luna!" Luan chuckled.

Lori approached Will and smiled at him. However he still blushed and his heart started beating fast again.

Lori took Will aside and spoke with him privately. "Hey Will, me and Leni are sorry about earlier. Leni might not see it but….I know."

Will sighed and nodded in acknowledgement. "He gave her a soft smile."

I feel a little better about this. I mean, I feel like I don't need to hide it so badly as before, but I gotta get better control of it. I mean, right now, I'm in the presence of Lori, and she's in her swimsuit.

"Dad told me everything. How did you know?" Will questioned.

Lori laughed a little. "Come on Will. I learned much after I started dating Bobby. I noticed it every time, you turning red, and sort of losing control of your speech. It's so obvious. Although I am flattered you find us so beautiful though."

Will scratched the back of his head looking down feeling embarrassed.

Honestly I have no idea how to feel about this.

Lori stopped with the mild teasing and gave Will another soft smile to try and help relax him. It seemed to do the trick. Will looked back to Lori's face and stopped scratching himself.

Lori continued. "Listen, I won't tell any of my siblings, they don't know."

"Thanks." Will said, with a feeling of relief, however he had a burning question on his mind. "Hey Lori….I need to know."

Lori sighed, she already knows what it is. "You want to know why I embarrassed you in front of Carol."

Will nodded. "What did you mean when you said, 'you were looking out for me?"

Lori cleared her throat and explained. "I noticed how you look at Carol even during school. Now please understand. I know that she's not right for you."

"What?" Will said in disbelief. "What makes you think that?"

"You still need to control your temper. Carol would never go for someone as hot tempered as you, and I'm not just saying that because she's my arch nemesis."

I suppose I should be grateful, I guess she's protecting me from getting hurt from a possible breakup, or rejection. Although, something she said just doesn't make sense.

Will was even more confused than ever though. "But…...if not her then who?"

Lori giggled. "Give it time. I know one in particular who thinks you're cute."

Will blushed deeply. "Woah…..really? Who?"

Lori giggled some more. "I'm not telling! You gotta figure it out!"

"Ohhhhhh!" Will groaned.

Oh man! This is gonna be bugging my mind for weeks!

Lori stopped giggling and smiled softly at Will. "Come on Will let's just go have some fun in the pool." Lori guided Will back to the family pool.

"Hey Will, want to jump in and play in the water with us?" Luan offered. She stood in the water with Leni next to her. Lola stood on the top of the water slide, and Lana stood on top of the fish forming the slide, holding a pink foam noodle. Lynn sat in the tree next to the pool and the rest of the siblings all stood surrounding the pool. Will blushed softy and in his head he was trying his best to stay focused.

Ok dude! Just keep calm, don't lose your cool!

Will accepted Luan's offer and stepped into the water. It was cool and relaxing. Will sighed in relaxation as he slunk down into the water and sat on his bottom with a relaxed look on his face.

"So where's Lincoln?" Will asked.

He kicked us all out of his pool, for some reason. Lucy explained as she rubbed sunscreen on Lily's body.

Really? You don't know? I can think of a few reasons.

Lincoln appeared from around the back of the house.

"Hey Linc!" Luan called. Half of the siblings smiled at their brother while the other half glared at him.

"Want to come in Lincoln?" Leni offered. "There's totes room for one more."

"You're gonna let me in your pool? After I kicked you out of mine?" Lincoln questioned. A look of regret appeared on his face.

'Well you were being a meanie." Lola pointed out.

"And it was selfish." Lucy added.

"And bossy." Lori also added. Lincoln hung himself in shame.

"But that doesn't mean he can't use our pool." Luan announced to her family.

"Really?" Asked Lincoln, pulling himself up feeling better.

"Duh!" Lynn chuckled. "It's more fun when it's all of us together!"

"Yep all ten of us together!" Leni said happily.

"Leni, there's eleven of us." Lucy corrected.

"Oh yeah." Leni agreed.

"In that case." Lincoln said with a smirk on his face. "CANNONBALL!" He rushed the pool and performed the massive dive into the pool completely unaware of the fact that the pool had a warning label saying 'No Cannonballs.' Once he splashed into the water the pool tore open and the pool somehow exploded drenching the Loud's front yard in plastic, and water.

"Well that's the end of that." Will commented as he sat on the grass. "How in the world did the pool explode like that?"

"Whoa dudes. Looks like 'pools' out for summer!" Luna said holding a piece of the pool's remains.

"How are we going to keep cool now?" Lori complained.

"No worries guys! I still got my pool!" Lincoln announced.

The family all gathered around and inside Lincoln's pool. Relaxing even though it was a major tight squeeze. Lincoln then learned that, what good is all this rest and relaxation in the heat. If you don't have anyone to share it with? Will also learned something to.

I learned some great things about my dad, it helped me better understand myself. Maybe I won't be able to control myself when I get attention from pretty girls, but in time. I'll be able to, I now understand, that everything will be ok now. It's great to have friends such as the Louds.

The next day was a cooler day and Will was finishing up his chores. He just finished pulling the weeds from the front lawn.

Man, pulling weeds is the one thing I hate most about my weekend chores. Mostly because I gotta do it all by hand. Lincoln invited me to play games with him at his house, but I was too busy with this. Maybe he's still up to hang out now.

Will rose to his feet and looked over to the Loud's front porch and to his surprise. He saw Clyde standing on the 'Welcome' matt with his arms extended and his two thumbs sticking out for some reason. Also he had a surprised look on his face. Will walked over to him really curious about Clyde's situation.

"Hey Clyde what's going on?" Will asked.

"I just showed up to hang with my best friend, and once I show up I get told by Lincoln that he has something more important to do."

Clyde walked to the window and peered through it and Will did the same standing next to him. To their surprise, they saw Lincoln playing video games with Lily.

"Woah." Will said, surprised. "Since when is he so interested in playing with his baby sister?"

"Lily?" Clyde gasped.

"What's wrong?" Will asked as Clyde put on a concerned face and turned away from the window. He finally broke his awkward pose and cowered.

Clyde started panicking. "Am I no longer his best friend? Would he rather hang out with a baby rather than his best friend?"

Oh boy here is his soft guy paranoia again. Maybe I can help him.

Will made Clyde an offer. "Clyde, why don't we hang out? I can't say we've ever hung out just you and me before."

Clyde sighed and smiled softly at Will. "Sure I guess it's something I should try out."

Clyde and Will walked over to Will's house and just before they walked inside. Lincoln stormed out of his home and ran down the street with Lily in a baby carrier.

"Let's go Lily! I can't wait to show you all the other things that I'm into!" Lincoln cheered as he raced down the sidewalk completely ignoring Clyde and Will.

"I don't get it. What does Lily have that I don't!" Clyde complained as he noticed Lincoln's excitement for Lily and him completely ignoring Will and Clyde.

"Don't worry about it." Will assured as he brought Clyde into his house.

Once took him up into his room. He went over to his comic library in the small bookshelf.

"What are you looking for?" Clyde asked.

"Come on over." Will instructed. "I don't have any Ace Savvy, but I got plenty of Marvel and DC for you."

Clyde inspected his shelf closely. "Hmmmmm. Iron Man, Thor, Avengers, Ant Man. Lots of Doctor Strange. The Flash, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman."

Clyde took out a Wonder Woman issue, there appeared that there was a look of reluctance on his face for taking this comic.

"Ah a good choice. This one is about her adventure to stop the evil Dr. Poison." Will took out a Batman comic and began to silently read.

After a few minutes of reading, Clyde finally spoke up. "Woah I saw the movie with you and Lincoln, and I can say Dr. Poison looks waaaaay different in this than in the movie. She looks more deranged."

"Yeah, it's a good thing Wonder Woman is a member of the justice league right?" Will chuckled. Clyde nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely." After a few minutes Clyde decided he wanted to do something else. "Hey Will, let's play a game!"

So far so good, this day is going ok. Hopefully it stays this way.

Will smiled and turned on the TV in his bedroom. He decided to go old school and turned on his 80's nintendo, the NES.

I know just the game for two people to play at the same time.

He took out the Tengen version of Ms. Pacman.

"Oh! I know this game! I enjoy Pacman!" Clyde said happily.

"Get ready, cause this game is gonna be quite different." Will smirked.

After a half hour of playing. Things started to go sour. Clyde was starting to show a visibly frustrated face. Will was player two as Clyde was player one.

I think I messed up. I made the maps of the stages large and wide, and I made the two player mode competitive instead of cooperative. I can't say I did it accidentally. I thought it would be a more interesting game. I also had Clyde be player one, because player one is Ms. Pacman, as player two is Pacman. In the competitive setting whenever someone gets a Power Pellet the other player slows down and their character frowns and can't gobble any dots.

Unfortunately Will got one and Clyde slowed down just as a ghost started closing in on him.

"Dang it!" Clyde grumbled as he got hit by the blue ghost. Losing his last life and getting Game Over. Unfortunately Will has two lives left and he gets to continue as Clyde just gets to sit and watch.

Will never lost his excited look as he got to blaze through most of the levels. Clyde just looked frustrated as he rested his head in his arms.

I know that I should be considerate to Clyde's clear unhappiness due to my bad choices. Unfortunately, I honestly hadn't noticed.

It was about fifteen minutes of Will dominating the game that he heard Clyde yawning that he noticed Clyde's dissatisfaction at how this was going. Will acted quickly and turned the game off.

Will spoke looking a little nervous. He knows he screwed up. "Hey why don't we watch some TV downstairs?"

"Fine." Clyde sighed as he stretched his arms, looking like he just woke up.

They moved downstairs as Will turned the TV on and began flipping through the guide to find something to watch. Clyde's face lit up seeing one show that is particularly popular.

"Dream Boat! We gotta watch that! I missed last week's episode!" Clyde said.

Oh no! Not this show! No way!

"Are you sure you want to watch this?" Will questioned hoping he would get out of having to watch this program. Clyde nodded his head fast with an excited look on his face.

Will reluctantly selected it and spaced out as his face stared at the screen. Clyde watched it intently.

This show is popular amongst many people I've met. It's a show the Louds all watch together. I saw one episode, and I really can't stand it. It's basically a dating elimination show where a lady dates a bunch of guys on a cruise ship and eliminates them one by one until there's one left. That guy will be her true love. I really can't stand stuff like this, but if it can make up my mistake earlier then I'll put up with it. This is the first real day that me and Clyde are spending time as just the two of us. When I hang out with him, it's usually when Lincoln is with me. I can't screw this up.

On the show, a beautiful brunette lady was staring out to sea as one of the guys who was swabbing the deck nearby, was giving her a dreamy look, when all of a sudden a muscular guy approached her with a bouquet of roses. The lady blushed and laughed at the romantic gesture. Will rolled his eyes at it but Clyde hadn't noticed, he was really into what was going on.

"Will?" Clyde called. He didn't respond, his mind was wandering. "Will! WILLLLLLL!" Clyde's yell snapped Will out of his daze.

"Oh! I'm sorry Clyde what was that?"

"I was asking who you think Barbara will choose as her first mate?"

"Oh um…" Will stammered.

Oh no, I wasn't watching. I don't know the names of anyone….gotta make something up.

Will tried to play along. He said something but felt nervous about it. He sweated and shook a little. "That guy cleaning the deck looks pretty sincere, compared to that muscle man."

"Daren?" Clyde Questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I agree Andrew is not a very good match for her. Although I think Bryan is a better choice, he travels a lot and can take her on all sorts of fun adventures."

"Sure sounds great!" Will said with a nervous smile. They sat and watched the rest of the show. Will and Clyde decided it was time for Clyde to go home. They waved to each other as they separated.

I gotta admit this didn't go as well as I liked. I think I can do well with Clyde as long as Lincoln's around.

Unbeknownst to Will, Clyde was thinking the same thing.

Clyde thought to himself. "Will's nice and everything, but he's just not Lincoln! I gotta do whatever it takes to get my best friend back! Even becoming a baby, since that's what he's into right now."

The next day Will sat on his front porch with Lincoln right next to him. They both sipped on sodas as Lincoln told him what's been happening recently..

"So you all were trying to get Lily to be like you guys?" Will asked.

Lincoln explained. "Yeah. It was fine at first, after all none of us really have another sibling to do anything else with. I mean it really seems like none of my sisters are like me." Will nodded in agreement.

Yeah, if I had as many siblings as you, I'd feel the same way.

Lincoln explained further. "It was great because it seems like I really was able to get Lily to enjoy the things I like but then everyone else kind of got the same idea. Everyone else started taking Lily to make her their own siblings and then we started fighting over her."

"Sounds pretty usual for you guys." Will remarked, the two shared a laugh at how truthful it is.

"So you hung out with Clyde all day yesterday?" Lincoln inquired with a little excitement, he's happy to hear his two close friends hanging out.

"Yeah, but it didn't go well." Will sighed feeling a little disappointed. "We kept doing things that seemed to keep us kind of at odds. I guess we can truly hang out only when it's the three of us."

"Makes sense, given what happened earlier." Lincoln shrugged.

Will was intrigued. "What happened?"

Lincoln sighed and chuckled softly. "We were trying to get Lily to choose one of us to settle our contest for Lily. Ironically none of us won."

"Really?" Will asked, surprised.

Lincoln laughed harder. "I actually can't believe he did this. Clyde actually showed up and decided to make a point with me wanting to hang out with a baby. So he tore his own clothes off and was wearing a baby bonnet and a diaper, Hahahahaha!" Will also broke out laughing upon hearing that.

"Hahahahaha! What?!" Will laughed, also stunned. "I can't believe he did that. That would have been a fun picture for me to have!"

Lincoln calmed down a little to finish explaining. "Since Clyde was holding a blanket. That naturally Lily was drawn to him. Clyde's tune changed once she did that, he viewed Lily as a friend stealer. Now he loves her!"

Will also calmed down, took a sip of his drink and replied. "Yeah, not many can resist Lily's cuteness."

"So I guess you and Clyde may not hang out again after a while." Lincoln assumed.

"Yep, I suppose I may try again later with other things, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Hey where is Clyde now?" Will asked.

"He's in my kitchen right now drinking milk with Lily." The two friends looked at each other and broke out laughing together again, they are good friends despite the complicated hierarchy of who is who's best friend.

A/N There we go another chapter down. Now to commemorate reaching ten chapters I wish to do something for you guys and I have a idea.

I commissioned a art piece to show what Will's mother looks like, despite her not making any appearances in this story yet. If you guys wish to see her just to know how she looks I shall post a link to her in the next chapter and I promise it wont be long till it gets released.

Do you guys like this idea? Do you not? Let me know in a review or a PM, and I'll see you next time! Next chapter will feature Luna's band, so Sam will appear next.
