Well, I didn't think I do this again, but a new list came up, and this is probably going to be an annual thing, depending on what's going on in January! Regardless, Clynn Week is back once again! How does this work, you ask? Well, from January 6th to January 12th, I'm going to be writing one one-shot per day involving the pairing of Clyde McBride and Lynn Loud doing a very specific subject on that day... think of it as like a 'Zutara Week' that the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom usually does. As per usual, they will be up on my fanfiction account and DeviantArt! So, if you're on one or the other, check it out! Let's get started with our first one-shot! Anyway, enjoy!

CLYNN WEEK 2020: DAY 1: MONSTER AU

It was another ordinary day in the Loud House, with Luna madly strumming her guitar outside her room, Leni and Lori giving an argument about which dress would fit them the best, and even Luan, Lucy and three of the youngest kids challenging each other to a pageant, much to Lucy and Lana's dismay, Lily's happiness, Luan willingness to go along with the idea, and Lola's excitement. But, just for this particular day, the interesting subject of matter happened in Lisa's room, where Clyde and Lincoln were sitting down with Lisa re-introducing a new invention.

"Behold, my older male sibling and his friend. I have re-updated the Universe Search Machine!" Lisa said as she adjusted her glasses as the two boys looked over to the machine in interest.

There was a large monitor in the room that was stationed on the wall, with buttons to press, wires added... and somehow, a coffee pot was attached to this machine.

"The machine that can take a look at your inner desires?" Lincoln asked as he raised an eyebrow. "Uh, why did you feel the need to upgrade it? And what did you even upgrade it with? It looks the same to me."

"Obviously, a hot chocolate machine." Lisa narrowed her eyes at her older brother before going over and tapping the coffee pot as some liquid came out of it. "So you can enjoy a drink while watching your inner desire play out on this monitor. Basically, it's the same thing as the old machine, but with a nice cup of cocoa to go with it."

Lincoln and Clyde looked a bit unimpressed, but shrugged as Clyde said, "Well, okay. And you volunteered us to see if it works?"

"Indeed." Lisa nodded as she pulled out a clipboard. "Though, in this particular case, I only need one volunteer. Clyde, I immediately thought of you."

"M-me?" Clyde raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I-I mean, I'm flattered, but-"

"Tut, tut, just sit down on that chair there and we'll get started with those inner desires." Lisa said as she settled Clyde down in a chair and put a helmet on him, covering his eyes.

"Uh, it's kinda dark..." Clyde said as he felt a mug in his hand as the coffee pot poured some hot chocolate in the young boy's hand. "Oh, but I can feel the mug of hot chocolate."

"Just sit back, and relax while your inner desires play out..." Lisa grinned as Lincoln raised an eyebrow.

"What are you up to exactly?" The white haired boy asked as the monitor turned on.

"Hush, Lincoln. Let us watch." Lisa whispered as the two's attention was turned on the monitor, as the classical piece known as 'Hungarian Dance No. 5' played in the background.

It was a dark and stormy night in Royal Woods. Chaos had rang in the world since the monster outbreak had raided the town. The human population had dwindled by a large margin, and even then, it didn't account for the people that transformed into vampires, werewolves and reanimated zombies alike.

In the case of one zombified Clyde McBride, his day was quite ordinary. Take a nice little walk around Royal Woods, play a few games, find a human, eat their brains... monster instincts after all. But even when the rain was pelting him down, he didn't feel the effects of the water... considering that he was a zombie, it's most likely because they couldn't feel the droplets of the rain.

Regardless, Zombie Clyde pushed on ahead as he felt a rumble in his stomach. It was lunch time once again. And barely a scrap of human meat was around. In his zombified brain, Clyde knew that he would have to find a ripe human for the picking. After all, time waits for no one...

All of a sudden, his eye sight spotted something in the distance... a couple scared humans, just ripe for the pickings. They seem to have weapons of some sort, but nothing that could defend the two from a zombie. Clyde gave a small smirk as he started to slowly lumber over towards the humans. Little did the zombified Clyde realize was that the humans were actually running from a werewolf that was spotted from the area.

Indeed, not too far away, a werewolf version of Lynn Loud Jr., with brown fur and bright white eyes was enjoying the thrill of the chase as she had spotted her prey running away from her. But she was right on the scent with the humans as she spotted her prey. Normally, she'd try to run as fast as she could and grab one of those humans by the neck... but she decided to be clever. She spotted some trees that she could easily hide in as she slunked through each tree, slowly and slowly... then doing some quick sneaking when two trees were about two feet away. Then, spotting a rock, she quickly jumped behind it and hid as she watched her prey, looking around in hysterically. Two people, a husband and wife, were crying hysterically as each were hugging each other, wondering what would become of them.

Lynn gave the smirk... it was perfect... the opportunity to jump on the wife when they least expected it. Lynn started to get into a pouncing position as she gave a guttural growl. Then, with an unusual growling yell, she jumped out from behind the rock, only to hit the zombie that had walked right into her path.

The minute Clyde and Lynn's eyes met... it was like fate had brought them to each other, like... a sense of familiarity was in the air. Lynn growled at first, but upon recognizing Clyde's face, she softened up a bit as she nuzzled against his face. Of course, Clyde couldn't feel Lynn's nuzzling sound, but he could tell that she remembered him from the days before life turned into complete chaos. Clyde slowly patted the wolf-girl's head as the wolf girl barked in delight. Clyde groaned as the zombie smiled. Then, much to his surprise, Lynn licked the boy on the cheek. Even though he couldn't feel it, he knew exactly what the wolf girl intended and gave a smile.

It was right at this moment that Clyde's stomach groaned again. Lynn, hearing it, got the idea as she looked at the scared human couple, who had just watched in confusion at what was going on and nodded towards the zombie. The zombie grinned as he offered his hand to shake. Lynn happily put her paw towards Clyde's zombified hand, before both turned towards the couple as they slowly backed away. Clyde and Lynn slowly approached the couple, hunger apparent before their eyes. The humans then started to go inside a small shed, but Clyde and Lynn entered in... as from inside the shed, sounds of growling, moaning and screaming was heard. A few minutes later, the husband and wife came out of the shed, seemingly satisfied with their meals as they walked out, both of these hidden, disguised Cthulhus wondering what other suckers would come out next...

"Interesting..." Lisa said as the monitor shut off, with Lincoln's mouth dropping in shock as Clyde took off the helmet, also in shock.

"Uh, Clyde? You mind telling me what that was?" Lincoln asked, turning to his friend.

"I have no idea! That wasn't my fantasy at all!" Clyde asked.

"But I think I got the idea." Lisa smirked as she shuffled her hands in succession. "It proves without a doubt that your true intended person happens to be a certain Lynn Loud Jr."

Lincoln's mouth dropped as Clyde frowned, "What are you talking about? You and I both know... in fact, practically everybody knows in this house... that I have a crush on LORI!"

"Ah, you just THINK your crush is Lori... but let's face it, you're never going to get together with her, not for a million years." Lisa simply said. "But according to the Universe Search Machine, this is who you're going to end up with in the future."

"Wait, wait, wait! You got that from a world where monsters roamed the world and Clyde and Lynn got eaten by Cthulhus disguised as humans?" Lincoln said in annoyance.

"You miss the point of the Universe Search Machine, my less intelligent brother." Lisa rolled her eyes. "This Universe Search Machine is set to confirm not what our world would be like, but what universe you and a destined person you end up with are still a couple... which is likely going to happen in a few years."

"What?" Clyde said in shock. "Me and Lynn? There's just no way that's possible."

With a shake of his head, Clyde left, leaving Lincoln just as confused as he asked, "So... you're telling me this Universe Search Machine actually shows my future girlfriend?"

"Or boyfriend, if you actually swing another way." Lisa explained. "But yes, that's basically the gist. Would you like to give it a go, brother?"

Lincoln paused as he thought about the offer for a few minutes... little realizing that Clyde was about to meet up with a familiar sports-loving girl downstairs.

And with that, Day One comes to a close! Next time on Day 2, we're going to be continuing from this one-shot (don't worry, this'll be the only time I do that) as we bring up something I done in last years Clynn Week! Which one? You'll see! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, everyone!
