There would be fanart in this chapter, but I don't think I can paste them here like I can on Wattpad, so sorry 'bout that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Toon Link was in the cafeteria with the newcomers he'd made friends with. He was especially close to Villager, even though he rubs some people the wrong way. He looked around the room and noticed Ness was nowhere around. He tapped his chin. "Something wrong?" Mega Man asked. Toon Link turned to him and the others.

"Do you know where Ness is? He never skips lunch," Toon Link asked with worry in his voice. They shook their heads.

"No," Villager said. Ness had changed since the newcomers came, but more specifically when Lucas left. Toon Link knew they were close, but who'd think Ness'd be this affected by it.

"What's wrong with him?" Mega Man asked.

"We had three friends. Nana, Popo, and Lucas. When y'all came, they had to leave. And well they, more so Lucas, were close with Ness."

"How so?"

"Well, Nana and Popo were Ness' longest-lasting friends, and Lucas was special to him."

"Special?" Villager questioned. Zelda and Samus soon walked to their table. It's been a week, but Ness and Lucas' teary goodbye has affected everyone. Even the Hands have tried to show their sympathies to Ness, but it never works.

"They were Yaoi boys," Zelda said.

"Yea, like Craig and Tweek," Samus said.

"Are we supposed to know who they are?" Villager asked. Toon Link shook his head and stood up.

"I'll go talk to him, he needs to snap out of this," Toon Link said. He quickly walked off. Villager followed. Mega Man started to scratch his head. He looked at the girls. They were starting to walk off. Mega Man hopped off the chair and tapped their shoulders. They turned to him.

"What's Yaoi?" Mega Man asked. Zelda Kneeled. She opened her mouth and Brawler walked past them with a tray.

"Not kid-friendly that's what," he said. Zelda gave a look to Samus who nodded and followed Brawler. Zelda looked back at Mega Man.

"Well, it's when two boys are shipped together. More often than not there is some art of them together, and Ness and Lucas were the perfect fit. Much like Tweek and Craig like we said earlier," Zelda stood up and turned around. She then looked down at her lower right. "But now that he is gone we must find new boys." She walked away. Mega Man turned around and was going to walk away until he heard Brawler scream in pain. Mega Man walked in the direction of the scream and saw Brawler on the ground gasping for air.

"So... much... Regret," he struggled to say. He had chains on his ankles and dragged away quickly.

"Uhhhh, good luck?" Mega Man shrugged. He turned around and ran to where Ness' room is. He saw Toon Link sigh with his forehead against the door. He turned to Mega Man and shook his head. "I think I got something." He took his head off the door.

"What is it?" Toon Link asked.

"Follow me." The three of them ran off.

Pit and Dark Pit was coming from a team-up match against Bowser and Ganondorf. Dark Pit gave the normal amount of attitude that Pit is used to. "Could be better," Dark Pit said.

"Wow, thanks for the support," Pit said. They were walking and soon exited the building to go to their job. Pit crashed into Shulk. He rubbed his head.

"Man, I should've expected that," Shulk chuckled. Pit scratched the back of his head and cleared his throat.

"Yea, I-I mean, I-I'm sorry too," Pit said. Shulk smiled and patted his shoulder and entered the mansion. Pit didn't notice he had a blush on his face until Dark Pit slapped his back.

"Man, you really are gay," Dark Pit taunted.

"I'M NOT GAY!" Pit looked behind Dark Pit and saw Gunner just minding her business when she heard this. She then just backed away. Pit shook his head with anger and embarrassment. Dark Pit straightened up. Pit walked away quickly, but Dark Pit ran to him.

"Well, if she tells anyone, I'll make her pay."

"What if you tell?"

"I won't."

"But What-"

"No, I won't. I keep my promises."

"Do ya?"

"Mostly." Pit rolled his eyes.

Mega Man, Villager, and Toon Link were in Mega Man's room. They'd been in there verbally thinking of what to do to kick Ness from his sadness. They've all given a few ideas, most of which were decided upon by them to not work. "There has to be something," Villager said.

"Well, why don't we use Yaoi?" Mega Man asked.

"What about it?" Toon Link asked.

"Well, it can be an art of Ness and Lucas, so maybe that'd make him a bit happier. To see them together again."

"Won't that just hurt him more?"

"Possibly." There was a slight silence. Not one stemming from awkwardness, but thinking. They were silently deciding, voting.

"I think it's worth the risk," Villager said. The others nodded then made a plan for how they'd do this. And finally, after a while, they knew what to do. They recruited some help on the mission. Bowser Jr., who is just called Junior, is to be the one who pains the art. Zelda will be the expert overlooking the process. Shulk and Pit are to be the lookout for Ness. This plan would've been done earlier, but Shulk refused to do the job without Pit for some reason, so they had to wait until Pit's job was done with him. Even Crazy Hand vowed to help by helping set up the selling of art. Junior would need help obviously, so Mr. Game and Watch, Zero Suit Samus, Mario, and Fox vowed to help. The delay actually made this much easier to plan. It started during a required fight Ness would have to attain. He was to fight Luigi and Fox while teamed with Toon Link. The three of them are to try and keep him distracted. Mega Man and Villager's jobs are to go out into the village and the mansion itself and promote the selling of the art. The mission is a go.

Toon Link ran to Ness' door and knocked on it. Fox and Luigi stood behind him. There was no response at first. "Man, he really is affected," Luigi said.

"Yea, makes me feel bad," Fox said. Toon Link peeked behind him and shushed them. He knocked once more.

"Come on Ness, we have a fight," Toon Link said. He heard a sigh come from the room and soon the door opened. Ness looked like a mess. His cap was on Lucas' bed. His hair was fucked up. Pointing in every possible direction for hair. His clothes looked dirty. The skin around his eyes had a red tint. He looked like he was a faucet with no water left to let out. He said nothing and just started walking on ahead. The three others were still in shock of his apparel they didn't move. Ness looked back.

"Come on, let's get this over with," he said. His voice reeked of sadness. Anger and sadness. Ones not normally felt by Ness. Ones not usually shown by him more so. Toon Link turned to Fox and Luigi, they looked like they wanted to cry. Just by looking at Ness had that effect now. They nodded and started to walk forward. Ness continued. He walked down the stairs. Before doing it himself Toon Link looked out the main entrance at Crazy Hand. Toon Link then shot up a thumbs up. Crazy Hand nodded and closed the door. Phase 1 done.

Crazy Hand started to grab some wood and build a shopping area. This shopping area extended straight from the main entrance. Pit and Shulk entered the mansion and saw in the foyer, on opposite sides of the door. They leaned against the wall. "Thank you Pit," Shulk said. They didn't look at each other, just up at the ceiling. Hearing the sounds from Crazy hand's building.

"For what?" Pit asked.

"Just, thanks, that's all."

"Well, no worries." Pit was confused, but at the same time, it wasn't. He knew why Shulk thanked him, but still was confused about it. That's when there was a loud thud from outside.

"MOTHERFUCK, DONKEY KONG YOU SONOFABITCH!" Crazy Hand's voice yelled. There was another loud thud, and soon the door opened. Donkey Kong stumbled into the mansion. He then fell as the door closed. Shulk walked to him. He tapped his face. He then looked at Pit while poking his face once more. Pit just gave a shrug. Kirby came from one of the halls. He looked down at Donkey Kong. He took a deep breath in and out.

"I don't even need to know, I'll take him," Kirby grabbed Donkey Kong's arm and dragged him away.

"Huh, that's interesting?" Pit said.

"Is it?" Shulk asked.

"I dunno, it's something at least." After a little while, the front doors opened and Pit and Shulk walked out and into the wide shopping area. It was mostly white with a stone-based floor. There were small booths and counters with room for art. Crazy Hand gave a thumbs up. Phase 2 done.

Zelda made sure the doors were locked to the living room. When she figured out they were she turned to the painters who had already started to paint. They felt weird at first, but they know the cause is good. They've each already made one art of Ness and Lucas. Zelda was overlooking it, every now and then giving some advice on what to paint. Most of which were of Ness and Lucas being together, happy. They were painting for hours, causing many other fighters to be angry with how the living room was out of bounds. Finally, all the art was done. Phase 3 is done.

The final two phases are simple. Just advertising art and selling art. Ness had to come out at its busiest. While the painters were painting Villager and Mega Man started to advertise to the Miis and ROBs that live on the world. When the paintings were moved and placed in the shopping area the advertising moved to the other fighters.

While Ness was in the fight Mega Man entered the room and grabbed the item that Ness left behind. It was the gift Lucas gave him. He finally got around to be next to Ness' room. The door slammed open and Ness stood in the doorway. He was practically growling like a rabid wolf. "Where is it," he said. The way he said it scared Mega Man. He then looked at him and saw the gift, a cap with Ness and Lucas stock images on it, on Mega Man's head. Ness clenched his fist and gave Mega Man a growl. Ness started to race toward him. Mega Man then ran toward the foyer, and soon out of it. Mega Man then took off the cap and dropped it. Mega Man ducked behind a booth and saw Ness shoot through the mansion. He grabbed his cap and placed it on his head. He looked up and his mouth fell agape to what he saw. It was pictures of him and Lucas. One, in particular, caught his eye. It was Ness in the Tanooki outfit standing next to Lucas with the bunny hood, and there was a small heart between their heads.

He picked it up and he grew a small smirk. He looked up at Junior, who ran the booth.

"M-may I?" Junior noticed the smile on his face.

"Of course, for you it's free," Junior said. Ness looked down at the art and his smile grew larger. He then looked away and at the other art. All of him and Lucas. Some of them kissing, some of one protecting the other. He then saw Toon Link walking toward him. Villager and Mega Man soon joined his side.

"You guys did this?"

"Well, we didn't paint this, but we set it up," Villager said. Ness looked at Mega Man.

"Thank you, so much." Ness had tears coming down his face. Newfound tears. Ones of reawakening. Toon Link had his hands behind his back, holding something. Ness tried to peek back there and soon he showed it. Lucas looked like a king, and Ness was in front of him. They were holding hands in front of them. Flowers were floating around them.

Ness reached out and grabbed it. He placed it on top of the other and placed them both on the ground. He then hugged all three of them. He then stopped and picked up the art and smiled. He then walked back into the mansion and up to his room. They sold all the art, some of the fighters bought some, but mostly it was the Miis. Ness laid in bed, looking at the art of him and Lucas. A smile spread across his face. He closed his eyes. "I wish".
