Ch 1: Lucas Dunphy.

"Mom I need to change my name!" He complained to his mom while dodging the milk bottle that fall from her hands.

"Lucas stop! You won't change your name to Theodore and Alex help me serve the juice." Claire looked at his son who was especially intense today with an annoyed look.

"And stop bothering me, I need to finish breakfast!" While saying this she went to grab the milk for the floor only to stumble over the table. "Hugh! KIDS' BREAKFAST IS READY!"

Lucas sat beside his sister, Alex. And after grabbing a pair of hotcakes and some scrambles eggs, he started to complain again.

"Mom Come on. Lucas is an awful name! It sounds the same as Luke! We can't have two sounding names in the same house—right Alex?" Lucas asked for support from his twin sister.

Alex rolled her eyes and responded, "I think it could be worse…like being the only responsible and smart person in this family."

Claire narrowed her eyes at his son and said with a treating tone, "I will ground you, Luke"

"…"

"…"

Alex, Lucas, and even Phil who was playing a game on Lucas's Gameboy looked at Claire with a deadpan faces.

"…Lucas. I will ground you Luc-"

"MOM! See!? I will change my name to a more artistic one. One that would put itself in the annals of history!" Lucas said while puffing his chest and making Alex start ignoring him and instead read her book.

Phil who couldn't dethrone Alex's high score was watching them argue. But after hearing his son speak about doing art, he quickly went to him and patted Lucas back while asking, "I didn't know you made art! Since when?"

Lucas looked annoyingly at his father, "Since I'm three years old!"

Claire shook her head, "I know you, Lucas, you have never made a single drawing in your life." Thinking about what she just said she put on a pensive face, "Now that I think about it, I have never seen you make anything except for bothering Alex."

Hearing his mom Lucas grunted, "She is my twin. Is it my right to annoy her all I want." Only to earn a piece of toast to his face, courtesy of said twin.

His mom stops cooking. And look at him and said with a no nonces voice, "Lucas. You will not change your name, you don't even know how big the paper works for that is."

Hearing this Alex groaned while Lucas grinned, "I do" And grabbed a stack of papers from under his chair. No one could say that he was bad at planning.

Phil grabbed the papers and with wonder said to Claire, "They are the real deal"

Claire grabbed them, read them for a second and then said, "Good" Only to open the garbage can and drop it inside.

Hearing the loud 'thud' Of his two moths of bureaucracy hell being thrown into the garbage makes him want to be more dramatic than he was being.

"You are killing my mojo woman!" Lucas went running off only to stop, run back and hug his mom.

While Claire just stare at him back, waiting for what he wanted next.

Lucas grinned again, and said to her, "I did lose the BOTL, and Luke is going to annoy you too. Plus I already send my new name to the school and all of our family."

Before Claire could start screaming again he bolted from the kitchen.

Phil looked at Claire and asked, "He lost the bottle? What bottle?"

Alex corrected his father, "B.o.T.L…Battle of the true L—Something about sword fights and a wilderness survival competition. The winner would keep his name."

Making Phil whisper in wonder, "Such a cool name"

Shaking her head Claire asked Phil, "Why couldn't Lucas be smart like Alex? They are twins for god's sake!!"

Phil patted her back, "Maybe she stole all the brain and he earned all the…Street smart? Just like Luke"

"Sorry for stealing all the smarts…from the whole family," Alex said while she kept reading and ignoring the narrowed eyes of her mom.

As Lucas was stomping to his room with angry steps he saw Luke with his head stuck on the bannister.

"Theodore. Help!" Hearing his new name, Luc—Theodore became a little angry about losing his name. Putting on an evil grin he said to Luke, "Don't worry my dear little bother, I will help you…being a piece of art!" He then grabbed a sharpie from his pocket and start making an incredibly detailed drawing on the back of Luke.

"What are you doing!? Is that a knife? You won't silence me for losing the BOTL!" Luke yells in a panic. Having his head inside the bannister was hard enough, but feeling a cold tip on his back made him tremble in fear and start squirming around.

Theodore rolled his eyes, "Stop moving. Is just a sharpie. I'm making a cool drawing."

Luke stopped and then said, "Can you make a cool dragon? Like those Chinese gangs in the movies!"

Theodore nodded his head, "Sure buddy…a dragon."

Luke laughed, "Cool I will steal all the money back from the bullies."

*Lucas looking at the camera*

"So…I'm an asper or a reincarnator? I don't really know—one day. When I was 3-years-old. Probably thinking about what new dangerous thing to put in my mouth, I suddenly start being self-aware of everything around me and having memories of a nerd called Ned."

Lucas shook his head dejectedly, "I'm just gonna say, that having the memories of your past life is not as cool as people said in web novels….And yes. I do have a cheat or a talent?—I don't really know, but artsy things come really easy to me, like super easy, I learn to draw oleo paintings and piano while playing my Gameboy."

Lucas shrugged as if wasn't any interesting and then he started speaking in Spanish, "Tambien Puedo Aprender Idiomas Despues de escucharlos una sola vez, o leerlos, o una vez, tomando un sorbo de vino…(Translation: I can also learn languages after only listening one time, or reading, or one time, after drinking a glass of wine.)…the bottle said it was from Argentina, but I ended up speaking Chinese, so there is that."

After a long silence, he shrugged and said, "Is cool I guess? Thought I must say that knowing that I'm part of a parallel world, inside a tv sitcom can be a little intimidating—Good for me that I never followed the show, so there is the surprise factor at least.

Claire who finally sat in the kitchen saw that Lucas hadn't finished his breakfast, while Hayley and Luke were not yet in sight.

"Kids, breakfast! Kids? *Sighs* Phil, would you get them?"

Phil who was currently playing Blockeds said to Claire, "Yeah. Just a sec. I'm about to pass Alex's score"

Claire sends a look at Phil who made him fail and lose.

"I almost had it! Only a hundred points more!" Seeing the Look of Claire, Phil went to yell at the kids, "Kids? Get down here!"

Hayley was the first to appear. While complaining and texting at the same time, "Why are you guys yelling at us when we're way upstairs? Just text me."

Claire nodded her head, "All right. That's not gonna happen." She then looked at Hayley and said while pointing at her skirt, "And, wow! You're not wearing that outfit."

"What's wrong with it?"

Clair, who saw that Phil was about to play with the stupid game, said to him, "Honey, do you have anything to say to your daughter... about her skirt?"

"Sorry." Phil looked at Hayley and smiled, "Oh, yeah. That looks really cute, sweetheart."

Hayley smiled, "Thanks."

Claire became annoyed and said to Hayley, "No. It's way too short. People know you're a girl. You don't need to prove it to them."

Before Hayley and Claire could fight, Alex appear again, "Luke got his head stuck in the bannister again." She of course didn't say that Luca-Theodore, was doing an amazing drawing on his back. They have a deal about it. And her brother was the one who give her all the money for her books.

" I got it." Said Phil while running off and asking Claire. "Where's the baby oil?"

"It's on our bedside tab-" Seeing that Phil wasn't there anymore she complained, "I don't know. Find it."

She then went to grab the milk, again, only to fall to the floor, "Come on!"

*Claire and Phil talking to the camera*

"I was out of control growing up." Claire looked at Phil who only patted her leg.

"There, you know? I said it. I-I just don't want my kids... to make the same bad mistakes I made. I-If Haley never wakes up on a beach in Florida, half-naked, I've done my job."

"Our job." Said Phil with a proud smile.

"Right. I've done our job." Claire said with a deadpan face.
