This is Middle, the true sequel to Introduction! This story takes place starting from before the beginning of Introduction and will end quite a while after Introduction did. So it's not really a sequel, more of a simultaneous story, therefore you do not even need to read Intro as the important events will show up here too. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy!
Lucas found himself slightly shaking as he nervously walked up the hilly path towards the Smash Mansion. When he had received the invitation, he had almost turned it down. Surely they weren't inviting a weak crybaby from Tazmily, right? Once his friends and his father had caught wind of the invitation however, they practically forced him to go. And that was why Lucas found himself on the Smash Mansion doorstep, his small bag of luggage beside him. He reached out a trembling finger and rang the doorbell.
The door was pulled open and Lucas locked eyes with a boy that seemed no more than a year older than him. The sized him up quickly before extending his hand. Lucas shook his hand as the boy introduced himself.
"Nice to meet ya, I'm Ness."
