It's been one day since Logan left with Lincoln to visit their older sisters.

It was the afternoon and Lily was playing video games like she usually does. She soon won a major online game and cheered.

Lily: Yeah! Did you see that, Lo....?

She then looked at the empty beanbag chair Logan usually sat on just remembering he was not there.

Lily: Oh right....(sigh)

Soon she stopped playing and took a walk to the hall where she sees Lisa outside her room door.

Lily: Hey Lisa.

Lisa: Greetings, second youngest sibling.

Lisa then noticed that Lily's attitude was not as upbeat as it usually is.

Lisa: Not that I care much for human emotions but what is with the gloomy expression?

Lily: Is it that obvious? This is the first time in....ever that Logan is not with me and.....it's kinda dull around here all of a sudden.

Lisa: I see. You have been attached to the youngest brother since you were two years old.

Lily: Didn't I hang out with anyone else before him? What about you?

Lisa: We shared the same bedroom but.....that's about it. You spent time with others equally before Logan.

Lily: Well I still need to find something to do.

Lola then came out of your room.

Lola: Well, I've been thinking of something to do when the boys aren't here.

Lily: Umm.....Since when?

Lola: Since ever! What you need is a girls night out. Just a bunch of girls hanging out with no boys around.

Lily: Umm.....Never did that before. Is it really necessary?

Lola: I think so! I have never seen you do any girl stuff in......ever!

Lana comes up the stairs covered in mud.

Lana: What's wrong with that? (burp)

Lola: Because Lana, I don't think we need another tomboy in this family. You and Lynn are already too many.

Lily: Tomboy!?

Lily then thought about this for a second.

Lily: Well.....maybe I could do that stuff with you for a bit, Lola.

Lola: Perfect! Let's go!

She then grabbed Lily's hand and ran down the stairs and pulling her out the door.



Meanwhile in the city, Lincoln and Logan were riding Vanzilla down the street.

Lincoln: Well Logan, we got a long trip back home.

Logan: I know. I already got my pillow ready.

Logan fluffs the pillow.

Lincoln: Well.....I was thinking.....we might hang out a bit. We never do anything together.

Logan: Oh? I....I guess that's true. So.....what are we doing?

Lincoln: I don't know. Let's think of something we would like to do.

They then both thought for a second. Lincoln then parked the van to the side of the street.

Logan: We can find an arcade!

Lincoln: I don't really go for those anymore. Usually I just went when I knew my friends were there. But now.....kind of felt no point.

Logan: Awww!

Lincoln: Nothing wrong with you going. You meet other kids your age at least.

Logan: OK....What else?

Lincoln: OH! There's a comic book store nearby. Maybe some rare Ace Savvy comics or Starship Groupers models there.

Logan: Never really got into those.

Lincoln: But you played with my figures.

Logan: I know but.....don't really know anything about the show. I just saw toys so I started playing with them.

Lincoln: Ah! I think I get that. Hmm.....Let's think....

Logan: Can we at least get some food?

Lincoln: OH! Of course! To Burpin' Burger!

Lincoln then drives back on the road.



At the Royal Woods mall, Lola was waiting outside a changing room excited. Lily was in it trying on an outfit Lola picked for her.

Lola: Aren't you ready yet?

Lily: Do I really need to wear this?

Lola: Of course. Let's see it.

Lily then came out in a lovely long-skirted Lavender dress. She was not sure if she liked it.

Lola: OH! You look stunning!

Lily: Well I am stunned you talked me into this. I'm not use to dresses this long. Also these high heels are hard to stand with.....

Lola grabs her hand.

Lola: Now let's go to the barber.

Lily: Are you even listening to me?

Lola just pulled her to the barber and had Lily's hair redone. Side parted, slicked back and curled under.

Lola: Now you look like a lady.

Lily: Too much if you ask me.

Lola: Next, the nail salon to gets them extended and painted!

Lola grabbed her hand again and ran for the saloon but Lily grabbed a pole and stopped them.

Lily: OK! I am so not redoing my nails in a way that it would make it difficult to grip a game controller!

Lola: Aw come on!

Lily: NO! You said we were gonna hang out but it's more like your trying to make me look more like you!

Lola: Well sorry if I wanna hang with my little sister and make her more like a proper lady. I mean I'm not trying to completely change you like before.

Lily: Yeah well......wait.....Before?

Lola: Yeah! when you were a baby, me and the others tried to make you like what we like. But then we realized it wasn't right and was kind of selfish of us. We just wanted someone to hang with.

Lily: Oh really? I guess you didn't have anyone like........Logan.....who likes what......I like......

Lily was just realizing something.

Lily: Oh no....!

Lola: Huh? What is it?



Logan and Lincoln were at a table at a Burpin' Burger. Both of them kept trying to think of interests they had in common but every time one brought up something the other shot down.

Lincoln: There has to be something we have in common.

Logan: We're the only boys in our group of siblings?

Lincoln: Besides that. Seriously, this is getting no where.

Logan: Don't say that, Lincoln!

Lincoln: But it is! It's....kind of ironic really. When I was young I always wanted a little brother to relate to and now I have one but can't relate at all.

Logan felt bad for his older brother.

Logan: Yeah.....I guess I hung out with Lily too long. It's like your......well not like Lori but.....like I don't know you that much at all. But....I want to.

Lincoln: I know you do. (sigh) This is like when I tried to change Lily before.

Logan: Huh? What about Lily?



Lily and Lola were having Froyo at the mall commissary. But Lily looked sad.

Lily: I didn't even notice until now. I didn't have anyone to relate to so....I introduced Logan to my favorite things but....I guess I was doing what you guys tried to do with me. Trying to turn him into me so I have someone to hang with.

Lola: You make it sound like it's cruel.

Lily: It is! At least to me. I kept him from finding his own things to enjoy. From becoming his own person. Getting his own identity. Now he seems more like my shadow or male clone or.....

Lola: Twin? I would know about that.

Lily: Oh right! But what can i do now?

Lola: Hmmm.....I can see you not wanting some one copying you. I always want to stand out from the crowd.

Lily: I get the feeling you don't completely understand what the problem is.....but go on.

Lola: Well you simply need to let him do his own thing sometimes. I always let Lana do her own things all the time. Mostly cause I needed to get away from the smell but you know.

Lily then thought of this for a while.



Logan and Lincoln were back in the van and on the road back to Royal Woods. They were still on the topic of relating.

Logan: I think I get it now.

Lincoln: Get what?

Logan: It's not just you. Spending all my time with Lily has kept me from relating to the rest of the family. Even friends. No wonder I'm not so social at school.

Lincoln: i guess. But lets not blame Lily for that.

Logan: I know. I guess I need to spend less time with her. I hope she'll be alright with that.

Lincoln: I'm sure she will. Also lets try to think of things you can do with me and the others.

Logan: Agreed!

Then they hear a pop outside and felt ride got rougher.

Lincoln: AH! What now?

Lincoln pulled the van over to the side of the highway. He then went to check outside. Logan got out with him.

Lincoln: Dang it! One of the tire blew out. I mean to be fair this is the least trouble Vanzilla has given us but still annoying. Hopefully, this doesn't take long.

He then went to the trunk on the van. He found  the spare tire, wrench and wheel wedges but couldn't find the jack.

Lincoln: Double dang it! Don't tell me Lana forgot to put the jack back last time she used it. Now how are we gonna lift the van to change the tire?

Then somehow the van was lifted on one side. He then went over to see what was happening. He was shocked to see it was Logan lifting the van's side up. Logan looked at Lincoln confused.

Logan: Um....will this help?

Lincoln: Umm......How are you....?



Lincoln and Logan was able to get home that night. Logan, Lily and Lisa were in their PJs brushing their teeth getting ready for bed. They were talking about what happened before he got home.

Lily: No way! You were able to lift Vanzilla?

Logan: By the side at least. I didn't think it was a big deal but....

Lily: But that van is wicked heavy like......

Lisa: 4,351.12 pounds.

Lily: Thank you, Lisa. I mean lifting Vanzilla is like......superhero level!

Logan: That's what Lincoln said.

Lisa: I think it's because of something that happened a few months ago when he was passing my room.

Lily: What? He drank one of your formulas by accident?

Lisa: More like an explosion slashed him in the face and it absorbed into his skin.

Logan: Yeah, that did cause me to throw up for 45 minutes straight that day.

Lily: So that's what caused it.

Lisa: But it seems it gave his muscles a major boost giving him super strength as you would call it. Of course I did research and found out his strength would fade away if he doesn't workout like normal muscle-gifted neanderthals.

Logan: Thank you for finding that out, Lisa. Also, what's a neand.....whatever you just said?

They soon finished and Lisa went to her room while Logan and Lily went in theirs.

Logan: The best part is Lincoln goes to a gym to weight lift and said he could take me when he goes. So now we have something to do together!

Lily: I'm happy to hear that!

Lily then broke her smile and got serious sitting on her bed.

Lily: One other thing I wanna say. I want to apologize for always having you cling to me. I've been trying to mold you into me and didn't even know it. I'm glad you at least have a new interest to call your own.

Logan: I do love lifting heavy things. Makes me feel tough and useful. But actually I think you are part of the reason I'm so into it.

Lily: (confused) Huh? I didn't like lifting things.

Logan: Yeah so sometimes I helped carry stuff for you. Our game console, a school project you built and Lana's large snake that got in here somehow.

Lily: WOW! Your right, I guess I am partly responsible for your new love of lifting heavy things. I didn't even notice either.

Logan: Well I wanted to help when you girls needed it and some guys told me girls don't usually have that much upper body strength. Of course I don't think they know of Lynn.

Lincoln: (off-screen) Or Lori when she's angry! The human pretzel thing is not a fake threat! Trust me!

Lily: (Giggles) Well either way, it may be best that sometimes we spend some time apart so you can hang with others. I don't want to keep you from becoming your own person.

Logan: I agree and happy you would accept that. I could spend the time to hang with the other sisters and know them better. I could also make some friends at school for once.

Lily then yawned ready to go to sleep and went to set her alarm clock. But then he went off by accident and fell off her night stand. It then rolled under her bed.

Lily: Oops!

Logan: Let me get it!

Logan then ran to her bed and lifted it up high making Lily scream falling to the other side of it into the wall.

Lily: AHHH! OW!!!

Logan then realized what he just did so recklessly.

Logan: Oops! Sorry! Don't know my own strength sometimes.

Lily: This might take some getting use to!
