Guess who's back with another chapter. Yeah it's me. This is a special chapter as it's the start of Act 2. You heard me. Act 1 is done. I think finally found my footing with this story as it's my most popular one so far. 24k views and 100+ favorites and followers. Next month would be the one year anniversary of QTQ. I got something planned for it. I also want to try Question of the day. I like to hear your inputs.

QOTQ: Who is your favorite girl or girls to ship to Lincoln with? I've always been a Lincoln x Haiku but writing this story helped expanded it. Cookie x Lincoln. Girl Jordan x Lincoln. Mollie x Lincoln. A bit of Shy QT x Lincoln.

Now the reviews.

Yellowberri: That day must've been your lucky day. Also happy birthday or belated birthday.

RawToonage press: I know right? I'm happy I got that out of the way so things can really get started. Well it took me less than my usual month to update. Cristina had to learn sometime.

Tristen: It was sudden plus all the events that's been going. It was easy to miss.

Sunblast X: I planned for that for when Lincoln visits Great Lake City for the second time. For Rita and Lincoln, I need to figure out when I'm going to do it.

Guest: That's what I'm trying to go for. Cristina is young so she's allowed to make mistakes, but the saying goes. Poor communication kills. Lincoln is a chipper fellow. A sudden change in his demeanor would cause some concern. Ronnie Anne is one of Lincoln's best friend and due to their relationship. He tells her things that Clyde doesn't even know about.

I had fun writing that scene with Jordan. Plus we got new members showing up. Oh I have something in store for the Yates showing that this is Act 2.

Timbuk1: Yes for context and buildup.

PhantomKnightPercival: I was thinking more on the lines of the Holy Grail Wars. I'm glad that I'm inspiring you to create your own fanfic.

Mr. Haziq: You must thank puberty for that. It would explain the relationships to a degree. STDs are real life nightmare fuel. Not having a brain freeze is a legitimate question. What else could it be? There are more members to come. You'll have to guess or wait and see.

Guest(2): Yes, Lincoln's ice powers were just for dramatic/comedic effect.

NiteOwl18: Trust me you'll see more them soon enough. That would be a simple definition but where's the fun in that.

GhostRider00: Since you asked so nicely.

"Welcome again, my fellow Q.T.s to our meeting," Caroline announced. They were all gathered together to discuss a certain white-haired boy. "Before we begin. Let's welcome our member, Alexandria, aka Karate Q.T." Their newest member stood up from her seat and gave a courteous bow to the group. "Cookie. Brown. Can you tell us what have you gathered" Cookie whipped out a pamphlet detailing on to deal with Post Breakup Blues. "This was dropped by Clyde rushing to help Lincoln get over Ronnie Anne" She opened it and read a few lines. "The first 'cure' was Boyz Night Out."

"They were wearing suits and traveled around town," Jenny confirmed. "It wasn't a 100% success as Clyde, Liam, Rusty & Zach had to clean bird poop of their suits when I walked past Dudes and Duds" The girls shuddered at the smell and task. Jenny read the next section. "The next B was beautiful ladies," Alexandria blushed at the pamphlet's suggestion.

"Shy QT, do you have the intel?" Caroline asked. Evelynn nodded, pulling out a laptop from her backpack. She entered her password and loaded the photos. They crowded around her to see.

"The first one was Renee recommended by Zach due to her & Lincoln's shared love for comics, particularly Ace Savvy," Evelynn explained, clicking on the folder. Photos of him and Renee interacting appeared on the screen. "It was started well but soon violent when a single copy of rare comic appeared"

"That would explain the swollen eye," Alexandria recalled with slight guilt. Evelynn clicked on the next slide. It was outside of the cinema showing Hattie with an array of popcorn and candy stuck inside her hair.

"This is Hattie. Liam's cousin. He tried to bond them over being sci-fi fans," Evelynn continued. "However, she's a bit of blabbermouth with a habit of revealing spoilers."

"I swear if she spoils Infinity War or Endgame. I'm snapping her neck," Serena threatened. They nodded in agreement. Some of them are trying to catch up on the timeline.

"So who did Rusty the 'Ladies man' try to pair up Lincoln with?" Cookie rolled her eyes at the freckled boy's claim. The next slide showed a gentle elderly lady. "Who the hell is that?" Cookie looking confused.

"His piano teacher," Evelynn stated. Someone snorted at the reveal. Out of all people. His piano teacher.

"Maybe Lincoln has a thing for older women," Serena brought up. His birthday is in August.

"Lincoln does have a type," Evelynn acknowledged. She went to another folder. The photos depicted all of Lincoln's former crushes. "His type seems to be Latinas, redheads or gingers and to some extent, tomboys" Serena, Alexandria, and Jenny stared at each other. They each have an edge.

"So if a redheaded Latina tomboy shows up, then we're screwed," Cookie responded.

"Most likely," Evelynn calmly admitted.

"Is Lincoln over Santiago" Jenny raised an eyebrow. That's the question of the day. Did his friends succeed in conquering his P.B.B?

"He stopped going to her house after school," Cookie revealed. "So there's that" That boosted their morale. "We'll have to ask tomorrow."

Several knocks interrupted their conversation. "Ladies, your time is almost up" The librarian's voice spoke through the door.

"Thank you for your time, everyone," Caroline remarked. They all packed up and headed home for the day.

Lincoln woke up in a jubilant mood and did his morning stretches. He had an excellent time with his friends. He talked to Ronnie Anne again. It was going to be a sweet ass day today. He can smell it. Oh, wait, that's him. Lincoln grabbed his towel while whistling a jolly tune as he waited outside the occupied bathroom.

"Well, someone's in a good mood," Luna yawned behind her brother, listening to his whistling while waiting for the bathroom.

"I just have a feeling today's is going to be a good day," Lincoln shrugged, walking past Lori, who's trying to dry her damp hair into the vacant bathroom and turned on the shower.

"Hanging out with his friends, put a pep in his step," Luna smiling, seeing that her sunshine is back.

"Bobby told me that Lincoln and Ronnie talked a lot last week," Lori spoke, shaking any remaining droplets out of her hair.

"Wouldn't that cause P.B.B" Luna raised an eyebrow. Lori shook her head.

"He didn't show any signs," Lori remarked. She placed her hand on her chin. "Hanging out with Clyde must have knocked it out of his system" The shower was turned off. Lincoln walked out wearing his towel, still holding his grin.

"All yours, Luna," Lincoln strutted past his elder sisters as the line expanded with the rest of their household.

Lincoln's optimistic aura lasted throughout the day. His classmates felt it. They asked him why? He didn't have an answer. He simply replied that it was a great day. They couldn't argue with him. Sometimes days are just naturally good days. It's time for lunch. Lincoln and the boys were talking about their previous weekend and planning for another boys' night out.

"Hey Lincoln, can we sit with you guys," Girl Jordan asked with Mollie, Cookie, and Jenny by her side. Lincoln turned to his friends, who were rapidly nodding at the suggestion.

"Sure," Lincoln placed his bag on the ground and slid over, allowing Cookie and Jenny to sit on the side of him while Mollie and Jordan sat on the other side.

"How's your P.B.B nerd" Cookie asked. Lincoln reached into his pockets and pulled out an icebreaker container and popped one of them into his mouth. "Not Peanut butter breath you donut" She pulled out a pamphlet. "Post Break Blues"

"How did you get that" Clyde gasped at the item in her hand. Cookie leaned forward to get him in her view with a dull expression.

"You dropped it yelling about Boyz Night Out the other day," Cookie addressed. "Sounds it was epic, or an epic fail" The guys looked at each other and turned to Cookie

"Both," They all stated. Cookie rolled her eyes.

"As I don't have to scrub bird poop again." Rusty glared at Lincoln, who smiled sheepishly. "3 hours, Lincoln. 3. Whole. Hours." Mollie grabbed the paper and read it's content.

"The next B is Beautiful ladies," Mollie spoke before cracking a mischievous grin that would make Luan proud. "Why didn't you call one of us? Aren't we beautiful?" The girls stare with interest demanding answers at the boys who sweated profusely. Ah yes, one of the infamous loaded questions that their fathers warned them about with one wrong word. It's all over. Rusty attempted to speak, but Liam and Zach covered his mouth as Lincoln and Clyde shook their heads with thundering heartbeats. Mollie focused her attention on Lincoln. "Well, Lincoln," Mollie teased, holding that smirk with a raised eyebrow. Lincoln choked on his water.

"What are you asking me for?" Lincoln coughed. He pointed to his friends. "It was their idea. I didn't know until after."

"You didn't think they were a little bit cute," Jenny joined in, enjoying seeing the boy sweat. Great. He gets enough of this from his sisters. Now here with his classmates.

"I'll admit they were cute," Lincoln confessed before his mood turned sour, turning around and shouting. "It didn't help that Renee sucker-punched me to get her hands on 'Deck the halls!"

"YOU'LL GET THAT COMIC FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS LOUD!" Renee yelled back, turning her attention to the Lunch lady. "Oh, I'll have the chicken, please."

"Don't even think about it, Lucy," Lincoln feeling a shadowy presence behind him, slowly stepping away. "Hattie spoiled a movie" There was some confusion on who Hattie is until Liam revealed them that she's his cousin. "And a karate girl who thought that I was there to spar." Lincoln rubbed his sides. Man, she hit hard. "Never got her name after she patched me up."

"Oh, you mean Alexandria," Jordan asked.

"Lightly tanned skin. Thick black hair tied in a huge puff" Lincoln listed off her description. Jordan nodded. Mollie counted the girls.

"What about you, Rusty?" Mollie called out to the biker. He's the last one. Who did he try to hook Lincoln up with? His shoulders hiked, bringing his head down like a tortoise attempting to hide from predators when his name was called.

"Oh, um. It's hard to pick just one beautiful lady to help a bro out on such short notice when you're a ladies man like myself," Rusty stuttered. The girls didn't buy it.

"Not even one lady," Cookie addressed, putting the pressure on. "All of them were coincidentally unavailable."

"Yes," Rusty claimed, sticking to his story. "But I was lucky to get one of them to come."

"Really?" Lincoln questioned, raising an eyebrow. "I didn't see her. I mean, I saw your piano teacher" The girls stared at the freckled redhead who meekly shrugged.

"Your piano teacher," Jenny said in bewilderment.

"Maybe Lincoln had a thing for older women," Rusty suggested.

"O...kay," Lincoln replied. "They tried to send me on a three-day retreat, but Ronnie Anne stopped them after they pushed me on the bus."

"Turns out she asked him to pick up a package that got sent to her old address" Clyde remarked

"So you were helping a friend out," Girl Jordan said.

"I thought she was his girlfriend," Mollie brought up.

"No, well, yes," Lincoln acknowledged their complicated relationship. Which is it, Loud? "She kinda was my girlfriend, but we weren't 'official' or public" The teasing and meddling from his family and classmates made it difficult. "Plus the inevitability of Bobby & Lori getting married. We would've been siblings in law. I don't think you can marry your sister in law," Lincoln thought about it for a few seconds. "Can you?"

"Probably not here in Michigan," Zach said. Each state has unique laws.

"I know you can marry your cousin in other states," Mollie stated. Some of them gave Liam a look.

"Do I look like I'm from Alabama?" Liam said, feeling offended.

"So if Ronnie Anne didn't move away and that your siblings weren't dating? Would you two still be 'dating'" Jenny wondered

"Maybe," Lincoln answered after a few seconds. "We already decided that we're better off as friends" Oh the feeling of sweet relief.

"Was that after your kiss at Jean Juan's?" Mollie chimed in, causing his face to glow red.

"After," He squeaked out. The bell rang, telling them that lunch was over, and it's time to leave. They got up and put their trash in the appropriate waste bins and went to class

"I still have a chance."

Lori was walking down the hallway with her friends when her body shook, causing her to stop mid-step. "Whoa!" She placed a hand on her forehead.

"You alright there, Lori," Becky consoled the blonde.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Lori steadied herself. The rest soon crowded around her. "My big sister senses were acting up."

"Your what," Dana asked. Big sister senses?

"Yeah, with Lincoln. I don't know what it is, but it's going to be good," Lori squealed a bit.

"Just go to his house and ask him out! It's that simple," Jenny's thoughts rambled through her mind as she skated down the street to the Loud residence. Her heart raced for every meter she got closer to her destination. She stopped at the front yard, hearing the ruckus of the building. "Man, they weren't kidding about being Loud" Jenny picked up her skateboard and walked towards the door. She paused and took a deep breath. It's time to put up or shut up. She ringed the doorbell. It gave her a little jolt. "Ow, what the hell" Jenny yelped, drawing her hand back. Luna opened the door

"What's up, bruh," Luna greeted. It put Jenny in a better mood. It was one of the more approachable sisters. "Can I help with something."

"Yeah is Lincoln home," Jenny asked for the white-haired resident. Luna's eyes widened. Oh no. Jenny covered her ears.

"LINCOLN THERE'S A CUTE GIRL HERE FOR YOU!" Luna joyfully squealed, causing a chain reaction among the sisters. Luna dragged Jenny inside the house. Jenny watched Lincoln maneuver around to avoid combs, brushes, perfume bottles, and … makeup. She understood why he kept his and Ronnie Anne's relationship a secret. Leni was chasing after Lincoln with a tuxedo and measuring tape. Lincoln sidestepped and twirled around to get behind the designer. He jumped and slid down the handrail dodging Lola's perfume spray. Lincoln leaped off the rail, performing a superhero landing in front of Jenny.

"Hey, Jenny, what's up" Lincoln smiled, getting up with shaky knees. He walked forward to his classmate. "You need me for something."

"I was um wondering if you uh," Jenny struggled to find the words. She rehearsed this several times. What she didn't rehearse was stuttering and blushing like a schoolgirl with his sisters watching them with giddy eyes. Her gaze focused on Lisa for a quick sec. What Lisa?! That's it! "I was wondering if you and Lisa wanted to come with Darcy and me to Games and Grubs."

His face lit up upon hearing his favorite hangout spot. "Sure when," Jenny was stumped. She didn't plan this far.

"How about this Saturday," Jenny offered, crossing her fingers and toes for good luck. Lincoln winced hearing the date. Her heart sank, seeing his reaction.

"Sorry I can't make it this Saturday. I promised to help Luan with a birthday party," Lincoln admitted. "We can always reschedule."

"Oh no, what's that? Lily and Billy have the chickenpox," Luan's voice interrupted them in fake distress. "You have to cancel it. Oh, darn!" She snapped her fingers in annoyance. "Sorry about that. I just got off the phone. It looks like you're free as a bird."

"That's a banana," Lincoln pointed at the fruit in her hands.

"I find it appealing that the party won't ruffle your feathers?" She slapped her knee at her jokes. Jenny silently thanked the prankster.

"Looks like I'm free on Saturday," Lincoln turned to the resident scientist."How about you, Lisa."

"I'll have to reschedule some of my lectures, but I accept your generous invitation" Lisa looked at her P.D.A.

"Cool, can I have your number so we can plan this out" Jenny pulled a charcoal iPhone. "You are the Man with the Plan after all"

"You know it," Lincoln grinned, pulling his orange phone. The sisters can barely hold their cheers as the pair exchange numbers. "I'll text you later today, okay."

"Okay, see you later, Lincoln" Jenny stepped out with a smile on her face. Lincoln turned to his sisters who had sparkling eyes at the event

"Nooooooooooooo" Lincoln demanded knowing where this is going. "No, no, no" They began to open their mouths and widened their eyes. "No, no, no, no." The wind started to swirl around and increase with every passing second. Lincoln shook his head at his sisters, "NO, NO, NO, NO!" Too late Lincoln. An F5 sisterando has formed. The meddling has begun. "At least Jenny doesn't have to deal with this," Lincoln said to himself as he's being sucked in.

Jenny entered her room, still having that blissful expression on her face. She did her happy dance jumping around the room, trying to keep your joyful scream low. Jenny jumped in celebration. She finally asked Lincoln out on a date. Wait a minute. The realization struck her mid-jump, causing her to freeze. "Oh, shit," Gravity resumed as she fell on her carpet floor, staring at her ceiling. She asked Lincoln L. Loud on a date. SHE'S NEVER BEEN ON ONE BEFORE!

Afterschool couldn't come soon enough as students exited the doors. Lincoln and his group were talking about plans for the coming weekend.

"So my place for an Ace Savvy marathon this Saturday," Clyde suggested walking down the steps with his friends.

"What time on Saturday?" Lincoln said to his best human male friend. "I got something to do in the afternoon."

"One of your sister parties," Rusty asked

"Or Ronnie sent you another package," Liam added. Lincoln shook his head.

"No, it's something else," Lincoln whispered. His view shifted to a group of his female classmates. Girl Jordan took notice of his gaze and nudged Jenny gesturing towards Lincoln with a smirk. Jenny and Lincoln were caught in each other's view, only offering red faces and meek waves. The girls giggled at their reactions while the boys were swapping stares between Jenny and Lincoln.

"Wait a sec! You and Jenny," Clyde put two and two together.

"Our little boy is all grown up," Rusty wiping a tear from his eye.

"Oh, shut up," Lincoln shot back. "It's not even a date because Lisa and Darcy will be there too" They kept their smirks. Lincoln heard a car honk. "Oh, that's me. I'll see you guys tomorrow" He's grateful that his sisters kept their meddling a minimum.

"I stand corrected" He landed face-first on his bed exhausted from coming back from the mall so he can be ready for 'date.' His phone buzzed—a message from Jenny.

"Your sisters took you shopping too."

"Yeah, how you know," Lincoln typed. A message bubble popped up.

"Jordan, Mollie, and Cookie saw you guys when we went shopping today."

"This is what I mean by meddling," Lincoln smiled, knowing that they only want the best for him.

"What time should we meet on Saturday."

"I was thinking around 3ish if that's okay with you" Lincoln and Jenny continued their conversation throughout the evening until deciding to call it a night.

"Morning, Dad," Jenny yawned, greeting her father. A slim yet fit middle-aged dark-skinned man was reading a newspaper.

"Morning, sweetie" Her father greeted her. "Woah rough night" He took notice of the bags under Jenny's eyes.

"Nah, I was talking to Lincoln last night," She said, pouring some Zombie Bran into a bowl. He raised an interested eyebrow. "Dad, no."

"I'm not saying a single word," He smiled, flipping through the pages before focusing on the clock. "Ugh! I swear Nani slept through a hurricane" He got up from his seat. "Hurry up and get ready for school. You'll be ready for your date before she even wakes up" Jenny throws her slipper at him in an annoyed fashion. She gazed at the calendar just a few days. Will she be ready? The week went by smoothly minus the teasing and pre-date anxiety on both parties, but it's all in good faith.

Today's the day. Lincoln stepped out of his room. All dressed and ready to meet Jenny today. His attire was casual yet stylish, consisting of a tiger orange short-sleeved button-up collar shirt with a pair of navy blue jeans with a smooth leather belt to match from Reininger's. Lincoln walked down the stairs trying to remove the stiffness of pants and break in his solid black Nike shoes. He's going to need the mobility for Dance Battle. Lincoln sat down on the couch, waiting for Lisa and Lori, who was miraculously working today.

"I'm ready, my genetically similar male sibling" Lisa came down. She eschewed her signature emerald sweater for a black t-shirt with an atomic symbol on the front. Lori came down not too long after in her Games n Grubs uniform with keys in hand.

"You two ready to go," Lori asked. The two nodded. Lincoln stood from the couch.

"Let me text Jenny, so she'll know we're on our way," Lincoln spoke, sending the message to her. He mentally counted down. 3… 2… one and cue the rest of his sisters.

"You got everything, bro?" Luna said. He nodded.

"Smell check," Lola commanded. Lana sniffed Lincoln like Charles for a few seconds.

"Yep, he's squeaky clean," Lana answered with a thumbs up.

"Mints?" He pulled two packs of Ice breakers—the ever-trusty Spearmint and Wintergreen. Lori handed him $20.

"I already have enough money saved up," Lincoln stated.

"As do I" Lisa affirmed his statement

"Backup just in case twerp," Lori smiled. He can't argue with Lori, so he just accepted the money with some of his other sisters pitching in. "No, you don't have to pay us back. Just have fun today," Lincoln's phone buzzed. "Looks like it's time to go" The sisters yelled words of encouragement to their dear brother walking out the door.

"Relax, Jenny. You'll be fine" Nani peeked at the driver mirror, seeing her nervous expression. "I felt the same way with your dad."

"Yeah, we're going to have fun today," Darcy giggled. Jenny smiled, admiring Darcy's optimism.

"We're here. Is that him" Nani asked, seeing a white-haired boy in orange with a younger girl wearing thick round glasses waiting outside the building. Jenny nodded with a blush. "Aw, he's waiting for you. How sweet. I'll have to admit you're right. He's a cute kid," Jenny angrily blushed before calming down. "I'll pick you, girls, in a few hours, sweetie have fun you two" The young girls stepped out the jeep. Lisa tapped on Lincoln's leg to get his attention. His eyes widened with his mouth slightly open as the heat in his face flared upon seeing Jenny. She let her natural curls roll free, allowing it to rest at the nape of her neck. Her indigo crop top rested comfortably on her violet shirt. The denim shorts fit snugly on her black leggings with white sneakers. The sunlight shined on her, giving an angelic glow highlighting her glossy lips.

"Ba...Ba...Ba...Ba," Lincoln muttered. Lisa groaned at his reaction. She pressed her watch, and a mechanical hand covered with a sizable cartoonish white-glove closed his mouth before giving him a sharp slap. "Thanks, Lisa," He said rubbing his cheek

"You're welcome. I can't have you looking like a Buffoon in front of my friend" Lisa retracted on her apparatus as Darcy ran towards her with an embrace as her Hello Kitty shoes lit up with each step.

"Lisa! You ready?" Darcy giggled ecstatically to hang out with her friends. Jenny walked up with her face matching Lincoln's. "Jenny, are you okay? Your face is turning red" Darcy sneaked a glance at Lisa.

"I concur, Lincoln. Is something causing an inflammation in your facial regions" Lisa caught on to Darcy's plan with a sly smirk. "Perhaps the presence of a reasonably attractive female in a new perspective is the cause of your condition."

"Well, you do look pretty Jenny," Lincoln shyly spoke, causing her face to glow brighter.

"You uh um look pretty handsome yourself, Lincoln," Jenny replied. The kindergartener's fist-bumped.

"Ahem, let's head inside shall we" Lincoln walked forward and opened the door for the ladies to enter. Electronic noises, people of all ages playing with the smell of pizza when they arrived.

"Hello to Gus' Games n Grubs. A group of four today?" Lori greeted with a smile. They nodded. "You guys are lucky as we have a group special today. The special is 60 credits each with an extra-large pepperoni or cheese pizza, four regular drinks with a choice of any sides for each of you" They paid for the deal and got their wristbands with a blank white card that holds their tickets.

"What you ladies want to do first," Lincoln asked

"Darcy and I are going to play Galaga," Lisa responded, walking with her friend to the arcade section.

"How about you, Jenny" Lincoln looked towards his classmate.

"Dance Battle," Jenny told Lincoln after a few seconds

"Already?" Lincoln questioned, walking to their machine.

"Yep. You scared Loud?" Jenny taunted, stepping on the dance pad. He stepped on the other one.

"Nope," Lincoln stated with a smile. "1 round?"

"Sure, but I'm picking the song," Jenny remarked. Lincoln shrugged. Fair enough. The pair planned their bands on a scanner to take their credits. A song list appeared on screen as Jenny scrolled through. She found what she was looking for and smiled—an expert level song.

(Battle! Galar Champion Cup (Elite Four) - Remix Cover (Pokémon Sword and Shield))

A countdown started. 3...2...1. The faint sounds cheering was soon drowned out by an intense electric guitar riff followed by powerful techno beats. Lincoln never did this song, but his pride was on the line. He followed the beat gaining his rhythm. Jenny was ahead of him with a few hundred points. He wasn't going to let her win that easily. Jenny was thinking the same, seeing him gain several perfects in succession. Their bodies synchronized on each note. Mirroring one another's movement. Jenny was water allowing her body to flow to the music smoothly. Lincoln held grace yet tempered by experience like a hunter knowing when to strike. The patrons watched the pair in interest. Some offer cheers of encouragement to one of them.

"Come on, Lincoln beat her slightly larger than gluteus maximus" Lisa cheered from the sidelines as Darcy giggled at the word 'gluteus maximus.' The two paused with their bodies bouncing to the guitar riffs that made Luna impressed, enjoying the brief respite. The audio's cheering continued driving them to keep going. A guitar solo emerged soon to be taken over by dubstep. They resumed with the live audience cheering on point with the song distracting some of the cooks and Lori.

The song was more than half done with a steady tempo change, but their bodies were feeling the burn. Their faces were slightly damp as the sunlight from the window sparkled. Jenny's rapid footwork caused one of her shoelaces to loosen. She roughly stomped on it, causing her to lose her focus and stumble on the edge of the platform. Lincoln's body flashed a radiant white for a brief second. He grabbed Jenny's hand, pulling in holding her body close to his. Lincoln spun around, causing them to swap places. The crowd cheered for Lincoln's quick thinking. He gave a quick grin to Jenny, who was still stunned but regained focus.

Another break within the song. Lincoln and Jenny looked at each other, trying to catch their breaths. Lincoln made a come get me gesture. A challenge, eh Loud? The building continued their cheers. The duo spun in place, jumping to their original pads. Now their motions are akin to shadow boxing, battling the other for dancing domination. It's the final stretch—only a few seconds left of the dance routine. The volume of the crowd amplified once the song was completed waiting for the scores to tally up. The machine finished calculating.

"Perfection Synchronization! Congratulations!"

The area erupted with joyful noises. Jenny and Lincoln gave the other a tired smile. Jenny grabbed Lincoln's moist palm with hers, raising them in triumph. Both offered a bow to the people.

"Um, Jenny," Lincoln spoke with heavy breathes.

"Yeah," She replied only to notice that she's still holding his hand. The heat from her cheeks causes a barely visible stream of steam to rise from her face. "Oh, sorry," Jenny let out. Lincoln gave her a smile telling her to don't worry about it. "I'm going to sit down. I need to cool off for a bit."

"Alright, I'm going to put our initials on the leaderboard," Lincoln remarked as Jenny sat down in a nearby chair with a grunt. She took off her hoodie and wrapped it around her waist. Jenny placed a hand on her forehead. She cringed on the amount of moisture on her palm, so she grabbed some napkins from a dispenser to wipe her face. She can't be sweaty and smelling foul while she's on a date… technically but the A/C helped to mitigate her dilemma. Her gaze settled on Lincoln, congratulating herself on making an excellent first impression via Dance Battle. However, she wasn't the only one that was impressed.

Paige watched Lincoln from the Pinball machine. She moved closer to get a better view of his moves. He knew what he was doing; that's why they called him the man with the plan at school. She liked that. Paige recalls receiving a love letter from him so time ago, but she didn't pay much mind to it but now. He looks more confident with a stronger posture. A bit taller as she noticed a hint of muscle development. She smiled, walking towards him. Maybe she should say hi to him. She knows that he doesn't have a girlfriend, so it won't hurt.

Jenny, Darcy, and Lisa formed a wall blocking her path. Paige was taken back by their sinister glares as shadows hovered over their eyes. Lori gave the orange-haired girl a frown on her own, telling her to back off as she was dealing with a customer. Paige heard a charging noise. She looked down, seeing Lisa was holding at her glowing red, ready to fire. Paige played enough video games to step away, slowly holding her hands up. They all kept their glare until she was out of their field of vision.

"So what you want to play next," Jenny said, collecting herself. Lincoln stepped off the platform.

"How about Mario Kart" Lincoln suggested. They walked to a pair of driving seats and selected their characters.

"Yoshi? Are you serious," Jenny laughed at his choice.

"Don't you disrespect Yoshi," Lincoln demanded. Jenny rolled her eyes.

"Hope you can keep that attitude when I blaze the track with King Bowser," Jenny confidently taunted. Lori, Lisa, and Darcy watched them giving each other high fives and handshakes. They continued playing arcade games earning tickets having an all-round swell time.

"You girls want to order something? I'm starving," Lincoln addressed, feeling his reserves running low. Darcy's stomach growled. She shyly giggled, holding on to her belly. " I'll take that as a yes" They went to an empty table with the Loud siblings on one side with Darcy and Jenny on the other side. Lori came to them with a notepad and pen in her hand.

"Hey, you kids, ready to order," Lori smiled. They settled for pepperoni pizza with nachos, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, and curly fries. "Alright, we'll be with you shortly" Lori took the order to the kitchen.

"So Lisa, any new inventions lately," Jenny trying to kill some time.

"Nothing of note, but I'm making breakthroughs with a vaccine for the H1N1 virus," Lisa commented. Jenny raised an eyebrow. A vaccine? Although this is Lisa, we're talking. She made an advanced robot from scrap in the janitor's closet with a functional laser programmed to destroy anything inferior to it, aka everyone else's.

"If anyone can do it. It's Lisa," Lincoln added. Lisa blushed at the praise. "She can make science fiction into reality. I even had a dream that she made a watch that allows you to travel to different dimensions" One of the patrons at a nearby table ear perked up.

"I easily could, but there are forces even I know not to tamper with," Lisa remarked.

"Wait, so was it a dream."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night,"Lisa smiled at his confusion. Lori came a few seconds later, holding a tray filled with food in each hand.

"Here you go. One extra pepperoni pizza fresh out of the oven." Lori listed off their orders. "Curly fries and an orange Fanta for Lincoln. Chicken tenders and a sprite for Lisa. Mozzarella sticks and peach iced tea for Jenny. And a nachos and pink lemonade for Darcy."

"Thanks, Lori," Lincoln grinned, looking at the food. Lori pulled out two coupons with G.G.G on it from her pockets and handed them to Lincoln and Jenny. "What's this" Lincoln asked at the ticket.

"It's a special Games and Grub coupon for breaking the leader board and for an awesome show," Lori explained. "You can use it to get any item from the prize corner."

"Sweet, but let's eat first," Jenny exclaimed, grabbing the first slice of cheesy goodness. The table followed her lead, enjoying their food. Lincoln ate the crust for Lisa, so in her words doesn't contaminate her test samples. Jenny's phone rang. She picked it up. It was Nani telling her that she's on her way.

"Our ride on its way," Jenny addressed.

"Oh, there's a super fluffy cat toy at the prize corner. I have enough tickets," Darcy pleaded with the infamous puppy dog eyes look.

"I agree there's something I want too" Lisa supported Darcy's statement. The older children couldn't resist, thus complied with their demands. They cleaned the table because of manners before marching to receive their prizes.

"Hello, do you see anything you like" A petite brunette teenage female spoke to the group. "And no, and I'm not one of the prizes" She winked at Lincoln, who blushed. They gave her their cards. Darcy got her cat plushie. A fidget spinner and a word search for Lisa. Jenny used her coupon to get a pair of wireless headphones. Lincoln used his ticket to get a medium-sized polar teddy bear. He handed it to Jenny.

"Wait is this for me" Jenny questioned upon receiving it

"Yeah," Lincoln stated casually. "I had an awesome time with you today, Jenny. Plus, my sisters would've torn me a new one if I didn't get you something," Lincoln scratched his head. Jenny stepped forward, giving a lovely kiss on the cheek. The teenaged girl squeaked a bit, seeing the scene.

"Thank you, Lincoln," Jenny said with rosy cheeks tightly holding the bear.

"No problem, Jenny," Lincoln stuttered, trying to get over his shock while avoiding her gaze.

"Jenny, our ride's here," Darcy said with a smug look on her face.

"I'll see you later, Lincoln," Jenny replied, walking out the door. Lincoln gave a small wave.

"Looks like you two had fun," Nani remarked on their joyful looks. They both nodded. "Didn't I tell you not to worry about it."

Lincoln watched her drive off stilling, feeling the electricity of the kiss. He heard tapping. Lincoln saw Lori rapidly texting on her phone with ecstatic enthusiasm. "Lori no," Lincoln feared the worst.

"Lori, yes," Lori still glued to her phone, texting away. "My shift is over anyway. Let's head home," Lincoln groaned, knowing his sisters wanted all of the details.

"Yes. She stated she's easily able to craft one" The patron spoke into a device. "She debunked it, saying that what he experienced was a simple dream trying to end the conversation." A voice replied. "I'm aware that explains the single anomaly." The voice responded. "Didn't we lock that watch up or destroy it? Wait. What?!" Her voice shook with terror. "It wasn't?! Who has it is in this dimension or timeline" The message only confirmed it. "Please, not let it be who I think it is."

Lincoln arrived home so he could get his sleepover bag. The rest of his sisters were waiting for him with excited looks on their faces. Oh no. He thought.

"Sooooooo, how was it" Leni barely able to hold her excitement.

"It went pretty well," Lincoln stated, walking past them to get to the stairs.

"Pretty well, huh?" Luna repeated, showing a pic of him getting kissed on the cheek. Lincoln's blush returned.

"Can we deal with this tomorrow? Clyde is waiting for me," Lincoln attempted to end the conversation.

"Mmmhhhmmm," The sister said in unison. He entered his room and changed out of his clothes into a new set. Lincoln went down the staircase wearing a simple orange t-shirt, a pair of grey sweatpants and slippers carrying his backpack filled with snacks and comics.

"I'll see you guys in the morning," Lincoln shouted before exiting his home. He knocked the Mcbride abode's front door.

"Ah, Lincoln come in, come in. We've been expecting you," Harold greeted, inviting Lincoln in where the rest of his group were waiting for him.

" Sorry, I am late, guys," Lincoln sat down.

"Nah, most of us just got here," Liam responded. Lincoln reached into his bag only for his friends to give the same look his sisters gave him earlier.

"What" Lincoln wondered.

"Lincoln, you sly dog," Zach chuckled.

"What are you talking about" Lincoln questioned. Clyde pointed at his cheek. Lincoln followed through and felt some stickiness. He grabbed his phone and went to his camera. He found an imprint of Jenny's lips made from her lip gloss.

"Um….I can explain," Lincoln stammered.

"We know Lincoln besides a gentleman never kisses and tells," Liam chuckled. Clyde turned on the Tv allowing their attention to be on the marathon. Although Rusty's gaze settled on his white-haired friend a few times, gripping the fabric of his shorts in frustration.

Oh man. I'm tired but it's done. The start of Act 2. I know I'm probably going too far thanks to the last chapter. You're probably right but this is something that I wanted to do. It's better that I messed up now but happy that I did it instead of wishing that I did.
