(Oof. You might be right on that.)

Lincoln: No! Wait, I-

Lynn: Hold up, Lincoln! I gotta tell you something.

[Lincoln pauses]

Lynn: Ever since you introduced me to the world of arcade gaming, I've had nothing but a blast. I might not be the best at it, but for once in my competitive life, I can actually admit that I don't care if I lose or not, because I get to hang out with you. I know that I can be a bit rough on you sometimes, but I want you to know that I'm thankful for this past week. Thanks for being a great trainer and a really awesome brother.

Lucy, Luan, and Lisa: Awwww...

[Lynn and Lincoln smile at each other]

Lincoln: You... you... really mean that?

Lynn: Of course! (her stomach grumbles) Oh no! I don't think my breakfast is agreeing with me! I gotta run! (rushes to the bathroom)

Lincoln: Well... (looks to the audience) That's not something you hear from Lynn everyday. Lynn's just happy she gets to spend time with me... (looks down) and here I was caring about winning the tournament more than anything...

[Just then, Clyde calls from the walkie talkie]

Clyde: Hey! Lincoln!

Lincoln: Clyde! Shh!

Clyde: I'm almost to Gus' now! I'll be there in a bit!

Lori: (confused) What's Clyde's doing here? I thought you said he couldn't make it.

Clyde: So what game are we going to be practicing first?

Lincoln: Clyde! Now's not the time!

Lori: (confused) Practice? Why are you and Clyde practicing together? What's going on?!

Luan: I know exactly what's going on...

Lucy: Same here.

Lincoln: What?

Luan: I've seen this story enough times to predict pretty much everything that's going to happen. Starting with...

Clyde: Can you remind me when the tournament's starting Lincoln? Oh, and did you sign me in the sign up sheet?

Lori: Why are you going with Clyde? I thought you and Lynn were competing in the tournament.

Lincoln: Well, the thing is-

Lynn: (offscreen) Lincoln!

Lincoln: Uh... yeah, Lynn?

Luan: ...Lynn finds out Lincoln replaced her with Clyde the last minute...

Lucy: Then she gets all upset because she just wanted to hang out with him...

Lynn: What is this?!

Lincoln: Uhh... I can explain!

Lynn: Are you switching me out for Clyde?!

Lincoln: If you could let me-

Lynn: What?! What is your excuse this time?!

Lincoln: Well... it's just... you aren't the greatest at video games and I needed to win this tournament, and since Clyde's coming back and he's better than you, I thought, hey, let Lynn relax and have Clyde take her place.

Lynn: I thought you wanted to hang out with me! I thought you just needed someone to spend time with! Did any of what I said before mean anything to you?!

Lincoln: (angrily) And what was I supposed to do?! Lose the tournament that I've been trying to win every year of my life the one year that I have a chance at just because you stink at video games?!

[Lynn gawks and storms out]

Lynn: You know when I first trained you for that one basketball tournament, did I ever want to trade you because you first stank at it? Or how about that time when I trained you for football?! Did I ever say you were completely hopeless?!

Lincoln: Yeah, I do- wait. Basketball? I don't remember that. Do you?

Lynn: Uh. No I don't. You weren't there when I first played.

Lisa: That's actually another one of his fanfictions, presumably made before those events.

Lynn and Lincoln: Ah.

Luan: And then, "Oh, Lincoln! You only care about yourself and winning!"

Lincoln: I-

Lynn: No! I didn't! I was supportive for you all the way! I didn't care that you sucked at those sports! Did you think I only trained you because I wanted to win for myself?!

[Lincoln pauses and looks down in guilt]

Lucy: "I guess that means all that training we did together mean nothing!"

Lynn: I guess all that training we did together meant nothing. Huh? (walks out of building)
