Theme: 8. Innocence
Pairing: LucasxNana
Summary: She's too innocent for me to get close to...
Rating: K plus for horrific references to Mother 3

AN: God, I'm having a hard time writing for Smash right now. Which sucks majorly because I have three stories in this section I have to get done.

Lucas's POV

Dear Diary,

I've been in the tournament for a while now and I've made a lot of friends! This is great. I've really missed being around my old friends at home like Boney, Duster, Kumatora, Salsa and everyone in the village. But my new friends, Ness, Popo and Toonie (who's called Toon Link, but asked to be called Toonie because it's simple) really helped me fit in. Can you believe Ness has been in the tournament not once but TWICE before? He's a real fighter!

Popo's got a sister too. A twin sister. I've never met twins before. She's really cute too. Her name is Nana. Hey! I just realized that their names kind of match! That's pretty neat.

Nana's really nice to all of us. I think she sticks around with all of us because there's no girls her age around here, though. I don't mind. Toonie doesn't seem to mind either, but Ness sometimes pretends she's not there. I wonder why?

Sometimes, when I'm alone with Nana, she tells me about herself. She's from a village in a really cold place and she's already a really famed mountain climber with Popo. I thought that was amazing. I'm terrified of heights! But Nana seems pretty comfy with high places.

She even told me she had a crush on Ness, but since he started to pretend she's not there, she's getting out of it. I couldn't believe it. How can Ness do that to her? She asked me not to ask him or say anything to him, though. I want to know, but I don't want to embarrass Nana.

Something else is bugging me. I don't think Nana ever gets this close to Toonie. I asked Toonie what he knows about all of us the other day and he said he doesn't really know anything about Nana. He also doesn't know much about me, but that's because I don't want to tell them what I've been through.

Especially Nana.

She once asked me about my family and life at home, but I couldn't say anything. Luckily, just when she asked me, it was lights out so we had to go to bed. But she asked me again and I still couldn't say anything. I don't want to tell her about Mom dying or Claus also dying and becoming a masked slave to a thousand year old kid. I couldn't tell her about the experiments I've seen that turned gentle animals into half mutated...things that killed on sight. She's too innocent for that. She shouldn't know what I've been through.

...I'm starting to cry thinking about Mom and Claus. I better go to bed.

I like this theme way better than the last one. -cuddles Lucas-

I know the wording in this looks very awkward, but you have to understand I'm writing this from the POV of a young boy who's probably less than ten. You can't expect a less-than-ten year old to have really good word structuring. No, that is not an excuse. I want to make this theme believable.
