Alright guys, here's that sequel this one dude gave me the idea of and I thought it was pure GENIUS.

Side Note: This was written before SSB4, so there might be references to SSBB. Also, I haven't reread Trapped! either to get the gist of... ya know, getting the right references from there. Haha! Either way, anyone, absolutely anyone who didn't make it to SSB4 will still be used in my fics. To me, they never left and are still having fun in the Smash Mansion (SNAKE)! Hope you guys don't mind and that you readers enjoy! I got the next two chapters ready and will post them sometime later! I'm still working on the last chapter, as well!

"Ness~" Lucas sang. He sat on one end of the table, while Ness sat on the other end. They were staring deeply into one another's eyes, unaware of reality around them.

TL sat on Lucas' side of the table, not too close to the couple. He leaned over on his hand, sipping out of his juice box hatefully. He mumbled loudly to himself. However, even Ness and Lucas couldn't hear it, for they were still in their own romantic world.

It's been 3 months already… haven't they gotten through their honeymoon stage already?! TL complained in his mind. He looked over at them, Ness specifically.

Ness was smirking with some of his white teeth showing, towards Lucas. TL then flipped his stare to Lucas. His blonde friend looked at Ness with a 'I'm totally lost in his eyes' look.

"UGHHHHHHHH…" TL groaned, flipped his juice box over, and just let his head drop and roll over the table. Now that managed to get the couple's attention.

Lucas snapped back into reality and looked at TL dazed for a moment. "Huh- eh, TL? What's wrong?"

"Yeah, what's up with you lately?" Ness added in.

"What's up with me lately, you guys ask? Are you sure you're asking this question to the right guy?!" TL complained back.

Ness and Lucas looked confused. TL took one look at them, and gave up.

He sighed heavily. "Okay… OKAY. Nevermind! I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm gonna go back to my room and do stuff. Bye, you guys." The little Hylian got up from his seat, and walked off out of the cafeteria. It was early morning and everything was just bustling. But to him, everything was slow. Slow. Whenever he looked at a smasher's face, he could literally see their mouths moving more slower than usual. This just made TL sad. Not about the slow part, but…

Ness… Lucas… he mesmerized in his head. Where did our friendship go? Didn't we used to be best friends? Everything is ruined. He hated the thought. He let his footsteps plop heavier across the carpeted hallways as he headed to the room he shared with Link. Once near the door, he knocked (in case Link was looking at himself with his shirt off again), and then came in when nothing was heard.

With his head bent down painfully, he closed the door weakly and went over to his bed. He let his body fall down on it. It was at that one moment, he has declared his will.

"I WILL KILL MYSELF AFTER TACO NIGHT NEXT FRIDAY," he spoke strongly to nothing. "IF ANYONE WERE TO INHERIT MY STUFF, IT SHALL BE POPO. NEVER KNEW THE GUY WELL, BUT WHO CARES. HE NEEDS A BETTER FASHION SENSE AND MY CLOTHES CAN DO THE JOB FOR HIM."

"Indeed it can!" agreed Peach, who was sitting on a wooden chair.

TL scoffed. "At least someone agrees with-" He opened his eyes and sprang up from the bed. "PEACH?! WHA- WHAT'RE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" TL covered himself as if Peach saw him naked.

"I was here the whole time!" She took a little sip out of a teacup she was holding. "You looked a bit too down to even notice me. Everything alright?"

TL looked at her with a 'really?' face. "NO! Nothing is alright! Why do you think I'm making my will? For the heck of it?" Peach shrugged midway through, smiling. TL continued, "AND HEY! WHERE DID YOU PUT THE FOOTAGE OF ME?!"

"What footage?" Peach asked, actually forgetting.

"THAT FOOTAGE! The one you caught of me, y-you know…" TL got quieter and quieter as he finished the sentence.

"Wha- OHHHH! That one! I like that one!" she gleamed. She said nothing else.

…

TL squinted his eyes at her.

"I DEMAND IT BACK, PRINCESS!" he pointed a finger intensely at her.

"Why? It's not like I'm gonna show it to anyone~ except to Zelda and Samus. Trust me, it's a collectible," Peach complimented.

"Oh stop it, you~" TL blushed, then snapped out of it. He groans. "Fine! I give up. What are you doing in here, anyways?! This is me and Link's room."

"I see you are having problems with Ness and Lucas being together." Peach smirks at the little elf.

TL looks up at her in surprise. His cat eyes widen with fear as he started to cower in front of her. "No… NO! You're going to do something, aren't you?!"

Peach look offended. "What?! No I'm not! I was just asking! Jeez!" she said, shrill. She knew she was totally lying.

"No no no no NO! GET OUT!" TL yelled, getting off the bed and scooting her out of the chair, and pushing her out of the room. Peach fumbled, trying to get TL to stop pushing her.

"I JUST WANT TO HELP!" said Peach, who was now forced completely out of the room. "I don't know what to do for you! I'm not planning anything!" She looked at him with a sincere look. "I actually have no idea how to solve your problem! You're in deep tea!"

TL was holding the door, tapping his foot. He was clearly doubting what she was saying. "Well…" He looked at her in a skeptical look. "I don't believe you, and I don't need your help." Then he slammed the door in her face.

Once he did, he could hear Peach stomping her foot and groaning as she walked away. When she did, TL sighed to himself, then opened the door again and peeked out. She was gone.

Maybe… she could've helped? he thought.

"Hey, Ness?" Lucas asked, poking the boy's arm.

Right now, the psychic boys were in their room, playing video games nonchalantly.

"Yeah, Lucas?" Ness raised an eyebrow.

There was a little silence.

"Don't you think TL's been a little sour to us?" he asked, scratching his cheek.

Ness laughed. "He's always been sour! But that's TL for ya! Remember when he told us that we shouldn't take it to the heart when he says something blunt? That's what makes him funny.." Ness trailed off into his memories.

"No no no, but it seems like he's meaning it, now!" Lucas said cautiously.

"I think you're taking it to the heart, Lucas," pointed out Ness. Lucas facepalmed.

"Well, I'll just talk to him myself, then," concluded Lucas. He let go of his controller and got up. He was just about to walk out the door, until Ness stopped him.

"Hold up, wait!" Ness got up as well and went up to Lucas. Lucas gave him a 'what' face and then he gave Lucas a kiss. Lucas flushed up and froze.

"Just wanted to give you that before you go." Ness smiled and laughed a little at his reaction.

"O-Okay…!" Lucas inched out, looking at Ness. "Now you make me not want to leave… BUT I MUST!" Lucas asserted himself painfully out into the hallway with Ness waving bye. He looked back, waved back as well, and closed the door.

…

As Lucas passed by, Peach heard everything the two psychic boys were having a conversation about. She saw the little blonde boy exit enthusiastically. Once he turned around the corner, Peach knocked on Ness and Lucas' room, in which, expecting Ness to answer.

The raven-haired boy, getting back into the game only for a mere 7 seconds, groaned, and paused the game yet again. He got up, and answered the door.

"Hello!" Peach greeted brightly. Ness squinted his eyes. Peach's brightness was nearly tangible to the kid.

"Uh, hey Peach!" Ness said back, awkwardly. "What'ya need?" He was willing to help out if Peach really did need something.

"You're just gonna let Lucas go on his little adventure by himself? Hmmm?" Peach got straight to it. She tilted her head, bent down a little, and gave Ness' shoulder a little poke. "Hm? Hm?"

Ness dusted her finger off his shoulder. Then he looked at her. He took in a deep breath. "FIRST OFF, how do you know all this? SECOND OFF, why are you asking?" He looked at Peach with a poker face.

"..." Peach made a momentary duck face. "Because I eavesdropped and because I think you should be a better boyfriend who should watch out for little Lukey."

"...At least you were honest," was all that Ness said. He then zoomed back inside his room, grabbed his backpack, slung it over his shoulders, and went back to Peach. "Alright, I'll get going to help out!"

Ness was just about to bound off on his own to catch up to Lucas, when Peach caught him by the arm. "WOAH THERE, NESS! Don't you think it'd be better if we just watched Lucas on the low-down?"

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Spying…" Peach whispered loudly in Ness' ear. She whipped out her camera. "Who knows what could happen?" She shrugged her shoulders, as if she, herself, really didn't know what would happen. But deep within her, she could guess really, really closely what could just happen… that small little chance…

Ness at the moment hesitated. He listened to Peach, but the way she said it made Ness suspicious of her even more. He gave in, though. "Oh, alright… whatever you want. It was your idea anyways," he credited Peach kindly. Ness' kindness always got to people in a good way.

Peach smiled at Ness, then gave him a hug on impulse. "...AAAUGGHHHH YOU'RE SO CUTTTTEE!" she exaggerated. Noticing what she was doing, she stopped immediately, and cleared her throat. "ANYWAYS! Let's get a move on, shall we?"

Ness nodded at her, and the two proceeded trailing after Lucas.

Lucas looked around him, and headed towards TL's room. He passed a few doors of other smashers, and some friends as well, to which he said 'Hi!' to. After awhile, he finally got to TL's room. He took in a deep breath, then knocked. Link answered.

"Hello~ what's up, Lucas?" Link greeted brightly.

"Is TL there?" he asked.

"Nope."

"Do you know where he is?"

"Nope."

"Do you know anything?"

"Potions are delicious."

Lucas looked at him weirdly, and Link looked at him seriously.

"ALRIGHT! Time to be serious!" said Link. "Honestly, I have no idea where he went. And I don't feel inclined to talk to him when he's in a bad mood. When I do, he usually says, 'I don't wanna talk about it, copycat!' and then leaves!"

"Oh…" Lucas looked down. "Sorry for asking."

"It's no prob, but if it'll help, he's probably at Smash Valley. Cutting grass, maybe. It's his favorite thing to do when he gets mad."

"Oh, okay! Thanks Link!"

Link pat Lucas on the head, and closed his door. Lucas left the hallways, and entered the lounge of the Smash Mansion. It was empty and cold, but the sunlight through the windows kept the place looking warm. He looked around. When he decided no one was around, he went outside the mansion, and down the stone path that led to the front, which had a clean fountain that seemed to tell how rich the mansion looked altogether. At the first foot taken off the stone path, he bounded off in a run into the forest.

It was a long run, but Lucas couldn't hold off as long as he should be able to, so he'd often take short breaks and walk in between runs. After getting far enough towards Smash Valley, Lucas started to hear faint sounds.

His ear ringed at what he was hearing. At first, he thought he heard… shouting? Shouts of frustration?

He finally got to the edge of the forest to the clear, soft, grassy valley. There, he saw TL swinging his sword repeatedly at the grass. After he shredded off a good chunk of them, they grew back again to its original form as how he found them.

"URGH!" TL swung hard. "Why won't they stop growing back?" he shouts strongly in an angry tone. "Why. won't. THEY!" He swung his sword at nearly every syllable he said. After cutting down yet another large part of the grass around him, they grew back again. That was when TL dropped his sword, and gave up. His knees bent down into defeat.

Down on his knees, he buried his face into his own dirty hands. Slowly, little tear drops hit the grass beneath him like dew drops. He whimpered to himself as he cried.

"TL…?" Lucas whispered to himself, "TL!" Lucas got out of his hiding spot and ran out to him.

"Huh… eh?" TL lifted his head up and saw Lucas. "Lu- LUKE?" TL blinked the tears away as the blonde boy literally showered him in a hug.

"TL!" Lucas said loudly. "TL…" There was pity in his voice as he tightened his hug.

"What? Lucas?" TL tried pushing Lucas off. "Dude! What?"

"You're crying!"

"NO I WASN'T! Didn't you see that bug fly into my eye?!" TL made an excuse.

"No, I didn't, so you're crying," Lucas concluded.

"Well, get OFF!" TL pushed Lucas off completely.

Lucas was thrown back a bit, but regained his composure. "...Why do you always do that?!" Lucas stared daggers at TL.

"Do what?" TL asked, confused but confident.

"Ignore us! Been meaner! Avoid us!" Lucas said. He was pertaining to Ness and himself.

"Woah woah woah woah WOAH. Me ignoring you guys?" TL scoffed, "I think you mean you guys being all lost in your love that you… you forgot about me!"

"What?!" Lucas still argued with him. "I… I.. We…" He looked away, actually having second thoughts to TL being wrong.

TL used that as a sign to keep going. "YOU guys left me behind! It's not just us three anymore! It's only you and Ness, now."

"But… you wanted us together! You supported it!"

"Well, Lucas, I didn't know it'd hurt whatever we had! I just wanted you guys to be happy, okay? Live your own happy lives together like in the stories." TL simmered down a bit. "I'll just give this straight to you now: You guys are still my best friends, but it just isn't the same as before when I was actually content with everything going on. But if I get used to how things are now, it'll all turn out okay. I'll friend Popo or something. Lucas, I'm okay." TL was completely calm, now. Telling all of that to Lucas really helped him.

"But… But you hate Popo!"

"Only his style…" TL looked away. "It's fine… Lucas. Go back home, now."

"But TL..!" Lucas whined. He got up closer to TL's face and put his hands on his cheeks. He looked him dead in the eyes. "Your eyes say different. You can't lie!"

It was then that TL has never switched thoughts so fast in his head. For a moment, he was talking to Lucas about personal stuff, and now he's… he wasn't really sure what he was thinking of, now. All he knew was how his eyes widened by how close Lucas' face was to his. A little blush appeared on his face, one that seemed to just keep getting darker by the second.

At that moment, too, Lucas seemed to have transitioned along with him. Lucas didn't fail to see that blush… TL's blush, on his face.

"Er, TL?" Lucas' serious face turned into one that smiled sheepishly at TL's reaction. "What's with that~? Hm~?" he said that playful voice of his.

TL blushed even harder. "What's with what?" he says, pretending to be confused.

Lucas put his thumb on TL's cheek and rubbed it gently. "You're blushing." Their faces were indisputably close together. Then, suddenly, an idea pops into Lucas' mind. With purpose, Lucas inched his face closer and closer to his friend's. He did so, making sure that closing in on him would be heart-painingly wrenching, so slow that his friend, TL, would feel it the whole time. His eyes never left TL's, and TL's never left his. TL was undoubtedly frozen, with his arms being a complete, shaky mess.

"Lu… c-cas?" TL finally blinked once again, his pupils going from constrained to a dilated black hole of sincere innocence. "L-Luke!" TL's eyes shut closed tight when he thought Lucas would do what he thought he would do.

However, Lucas stopped short. He cut off everything once his nose plotted gently onto TL's. With that, TL's shakes disseminated into nothingness; he calmed down. He opened his eyes slowly, and saw Lucas' cerulean blue eyes. It was only then he considered the importance, the significance of Lucas' eye color. His eyes focused on them, he was completely dazed by what could've happened.

However, he snapped out of it, once he saw Lucas smile.

"I think I understand, now," was what came out of Lucas' mouth. "I really understand it, now."

TL blinked a few times, then jerked up to his standing position. "Understand what? WHAT?" He laughed nervously. "I'm confused, Lucas!" he admitted straightforwardly.

Lucas got up, also. "Good, stay confused." Lucas smiled while TL gave him an expression, clearly showing he didn't think Lucas would reply with that.

There was a pause.

"Hey, let's go back, TL." Lucas gestured for TL to come along.

TL, whom was still looking at Lucas awkwardly, walked along cautiously next to the other boy. Their steps were silent across the padded grass, that it was enough to hear the breaths between the two boys. TL's was more audible than the other.

"TL," Lucas said, breaking the silence. TL looked over in a curious expression, his eyebrows peaking up, and his mouth making the shape of an "O". "What's your opinion on people holding each other's hands?"

"...That's…" TL thought it was a weird question. A really weird question. However, at the same time, he was still confused. He doubted whatever possibilities that could've happened between the two of them. He shrouded himself in complete density of the mind. "I've seen it in the movies?"

"Cool." Then Lucas held out his hand to Toon Link's. He carefully showed the boy his clean, soft hand, and slid it into his, giving off a sweet hesitation before putting it in the little elf's hand.

"L-Luke…" was all TL could find himself saying to Lucas. He bit his lip and looked down at his brown boots, and just continued walking. Lucas gave TL's hand a little squeeze.

Ness was taken aback. "What… what are they doing…?" he asked, half of his breath taken away from him. "I can't hear them!"

"I can't really hear them, either," said Peach, filming nevertheless. She turned off her cam when she saw the two blondes leaving sight. "I think they're going back to find you, we should probably get-" When she turned to look at Ness, the boy had his hands on his face, covering it. "Ness?!" She went to his side urgently and put an arm around him. "What's wrong? Huh?"

Ness' breaths were heavy; his face went a light shade of red. His eyes watered just a little bit, but after lowering both his hands, he revealed an expression that definitely was not crying. Peach's eyes widened. He was angry.

"N-Ness?! Calm down! Relax!" Peach sedated.

"Lucas is… is he…" Ness couldn't even pull out the words. He was too distracted by his anger.

"What? NO! NESS! Lucas would never!" Peach contradicted.

It was then their eyes simultaneously flew back to the two blonde boys. There was a significant change, and it was that the space between them has gotten smaller. Really small.

Ness growled. "GET OFF ME, PEACH!" Ness formed a fist with his hand and jerked her off his arm.

"Ow!" Ness hurt Peach's forearm a bit. Without another word, Ness stormed back through the forest, and into the mansion.
